Waritz Council Member, District 14 Lots of things are happening important to us in Scott and Carver Counties that I'd like to ' share with you as I hear them from my perch here at the Metropolitan Council. They include news of local interest from,the legislature on regional airports, water ' resources and parks; an update on Hwys. 212 and 5; and several environmentally friendly actions, including an exploration of ways to reduce pollution in the Minnesota River, improved recycling in Chanhassen and Waconia, and a new composting facility proposed for Scott County. Whew! ' ' Legislature. The 1990 state legislature approved Met Council proposals in the areas of ' airports, water resources and parks. The Council was given powers to protect yet-to-be named search areas for a possible new major airport. Each search area will contain possible sites for a ' new airport. The legislature gave the Council authority to approve requests for rezoning in the search ' areas. The law will help prevent development incompatible with a new airport, as well as land speculation. New water-supply legislation requires the Council to prepare a long-term plan for the region's water supply by Feb. 1, 1992. The law also directs the Council to adopt a water resources plan that includes limits on pollution in the region's watersheds. The legislature also allotted $5 million in state bond revenues to acquire land and improve I I I in water-resource planning and management. Recycling. Recycling is moving forward in Chanhassen and Waconia, thanks in part to two Met Council grants. The Council has given the two cities grants of$26,000 and $9,600, respectively, which the cities will match to purchase recycling bins to promote curbside recycling. I'm told Chanhassen's participation rate for curbside recycling jumped from 25 percent to 88 percent since the residents received recycling bins in April. That's just great! Residents can expect to receive a second bin in July. Waconia is planning to convert to a new volume-based collection system and provide bins to residents, and commercial and industrial firms by Oct. 1. To help increase participation, ' haulers will pick up recyclables and trash on the same day. Composting. We're moving ahead in composting, too. In May the Council said that ' garbage generated in Scott and Carver Counties should be designated to go to a proposed county- owned composting facility. The $12.7 million facility will be built in Louisville Twp. in Scott County. It will be owned by Scott County, but built and operated by Waste Processing Corp. It ' will process 200 tons a day. The compost will be used to grow grass and trees and to cover areas like gravel pits and ' landfills. The facility will remove metals, glass and plastics and recycle whatever it can. The next ' step is for the counties to set up contracts with haulers to deliver waste to the facility. Recent appointments to Council committees are Frank Simon, Laketown Twp., and Bill ' Casey, Credit River Twp., to the Land Use Advisory Committee; Barb Hamilton, Chanhassen, to ' the Metropolitan Health Planning Board; and Maggie Fowlston, Chaska, reappointed to the Minority Issues Advisory Committee. ' -30- i I 1 ' regional parks. The legislature also said the Council could reissue regional park bonds on its own. Highways. The Council recently acted on a proposed new segment of Hwy. 212. On June 14 we reviewed a draft environmental impact statement on a proposed 18-mile, four-lane divided highway to run from Interstate Hwy. 494 to Cologne. The Council said the section of ' Hwy. 212 east of Hwy. 41 in Chaska should be built as a four-lane freeway with interchanges. Construction on the $111 million project is proposed to start at the I-494 interchange in the spring of 1993. The segment of Hwy. 212 west of Hwy. 41 is not a priority for highway expenditures now, the Council said in its review. However, right-of-way should be preserved for possible expansion in the next 20 years. Construction on Hwy. 5 will continue this summer and fall to upgrade it to four lanes from Eden Prairie to Hwy. 41 in Chanhassen. ' Minnesota River. Support is growing for programs to clean up "nonpoint" pollution in the Minnesota River. That's the pollution reaching the river in runoff from farms, subdivisions, ' industrial parks and shopping centers. In May I attended a Met Council forum for local officials to talk about reducing nonpoint ' pollution to the river. About 60 city, county, township and local water planning officials attended ' to offer their ideas about how we should try to deal with it. The Environmental Protection Agency has set a goal to reduce nonpoint pollution by 40 percent by mid-1996. Cleaning up nonpoint pollution will be a complex problem because of the variety of land use activities affecting the river. The Council and other agencies believe that the cleanup emphasis should shift from ' making further costly improvements at the Blue Lake sewage treatment plant in Shakopee to ' reducing pollutants in urban and rural runoff throughout the entire river basin. Much of the discussion focused on how to coordinate the many local and state governmental interests involved 1 MU le REG4ONALTMNSR BOIRD Mears Park Centre 230 East 5th Street ' St.Paul,Minnesota 55101 612/292-8789 ' June 12, 1990 Don Chmiel City of Chanhassen 690 Couter Dr. Chanhassen MN 55317 Dear Mr lel: Thank you for taking the time to attend the RTB's first annual community transit forum on June 7.

As you noted, except for routine sealcoating and patching, the roadway was last reconstructed in 1 1971 when sanitary sewer was installed. In 1988 , the City Council adopted a five-year program for I utilization of State-Aid funds for roadway construction. Within that program, the City Council indicated that Minnewashta Parkway was proposed for reconstruction in 1991. I have received no 1 direction to the contrary from the City Council. As such, I would anticipate bringing this issue before the City Council later this year to initiate a Feasibility Study to evaluate the magnitude of improvements needed for the roadway and the I associated costs. This will allow enough time for the roadway improvements to be designed during the winter months such that the improvements can be constructed during the 1991 construction Iseason as planned.

I hope you don't feel your time was wasted.I know you all,and JoAnn Olsen especially,staunchly defend wetlands and I'm very glad for that. I don't expect any further action by the staff in response to this letter,I just I want to sum up my concerns at this point and let the Council know where I stand today in light of all that has transpired and I have learned.If Council decides to make a response,I urge them to please take into account the following considerations. I 1.Regarding Outlot A,Lake Lucy Highlands: As you can see from my letter, I did not refer directly to the staffs actions as slipshod,but was an emotional response over concern of the information provided by the developer to determine the I wetland boundary. I suppose I could have made it clearer,so please don't take offense at that. I apologize for using too strong a language in referring to what I felt were shortcomings of the ordinance.That expression does not undermine the basic feeling I've always had about the ordinance. I even said on record several times and mentioned to dozens of people in our lake association,in I conversations with agency folk, and even on record in the paper that it is basically a good tough ordinance. I was merely pointing out,albeit very emotionally,that I thought a wetland ordinance without a definition of a wetland would lead to real problems.That is still a concern,and I hope this sets things straight. I'll try to use less emotional language in the future. IExactly what information didn't come forward during the buildability hearings is more apparent now. Please understand I could not find on record important things that could negatively impact the wetland or determine buildability involving access to the site or for laying in utility and drainage I lines.There are still many questions left unanswered that could have been raised in the past and hope they will be answered sometime,perhaps all of them during a wetland alteration hearing. Here are some things I'm still concerned about for the record- ' -JoAnn's letter stated that Larry Smith,USFWS,felt a driveway will be minimal impact if it crossed the wept edge of the wetland. He told me in phone conversation he was referring to the . westerly section of land and ditch with leafy spurge on it,a small portion near the road,not the I wetland to the east of the lot corner. Access to the buildable portion must pass along the easterly side of the NW stake,crossing more than 150 feet of water-saturated Class B wetland. There is hardly any dry ground for that distance from the road.Although he didn't take soil samples,Mr. Smith told me that area was indeed a valuable wetland,and there would be I significant impact if a driveway crossed easterly of the NW stake. He also said it was an extension of the rest of the wetland basin,enhances its value,and deserves the same protection. If this is corroborated with other wetland experts such as those at the Freshwater Institute,or independent biologists,should the Class B area deserve the same protection in this case? I -If value equates with protection,and the city has the liberty to do so, should the setbacks have been determined originally from the edge of the Class B wetland basin beyond the OHWE,as JoAnn has done from the 100 year flood elevation on a map in her June 14 response? -I recognize that staff determined a culvert under a driveway could allow the proper water quantity flowing into the wetland.There is a creek with clear water originating in a Class A I wetland in Lake Lucy Highlands that flows under Lake Lucy Road into a culvert that empties out where a driveway would have to be located.Under the street,it combines with probably tons of nutrients and sediments from the stormwater as it enters the wetland that will continue to have a negative impact on the wetland and the lake from high nutrient loading and filling from I sediments.The amount of sediments may already exceed the limit imposed as a condition of the plat. Given this situation and the assumption that proper driveway fill could replace water-saturated soil for a driveway and installation of utilities,what impact would its removal really have on the wetland in terms of added nutrient loading,drainage water quality,water I holding ability,lake and groundwater recharging,loss of sediment filtering area?Should removal of hydric soil even be permitted or set as a condition of a variance? I -If a wetland alteration variance were allowed and a portion of the wetland basin is lost if it is filled for a driveway,what kind of precedence would it set?Wetland of this type probably cannot be replaced somewhere else on the same property and may be lost forever.How can that be justified? I -If the city doesn't or shouldn't normally allow filling in a valuable Class B wetland basin if i there is no proven benefit or negative impact,then why should fill for a driveway or digging to install utilities be allowed?Should it have been a factor in determining buildability? ' I suppose I will always have these concerns until someone can prove this wetland wouldn't be hurt if this lot is built upon. I look forward to have input in the process during a public hearing for a wetland alteration permit since a driveway would obviously have to cross the Class B portion of the wetland. ' In reference to the apparent mistake of stating that the septic setback was 200 feet instead of 150,the copy of the ordinance in the last letter was taken directly from a red 3-ring binder full of ordinances ' the secretary handed me in May when I was given permission to look at the file on this subdivision. I expected that any material the city would hand me in their own offices would be current,and so I naturally put my trust in it until now.Apparently, she gave me an old version, so it wasn't my fault all that time and energy over that issue was wasted. 1 2.Amendment proposals to Wetland protection ordinance- I I agree that any revisions to the ordinance be done in a comprehensive manner,and I have always supported any means to accurately map city wetlands.Vsing Outlot A as an example simply fleshed out many concerns and was a good intellectual exercise in thinking out what-if scenarios.My official position in my heart is that regardless of whatever happens on Outlot A,and I can accept the city's ' decision if it is buildable without harming the wetland,I think the ordinance could use some improvements anyway. I do not single out this lot. My reasoning and gut feel from experience is that if wetlands or lakes end up hurt as a result of allowances in the ordinance,and reliance on wetland - ' designation and significance is determined from the wrong or uninformed people(and I don't mean today's city staff and Council!),it could happen elsewhere. Precedence is always an issue. Here is a summary of suggestions for improvements I outlined at the visitors presentation on June 25. ' Intent of the ordinance To protect wetlands reliably determined by"technical information, soil data and topographical surveys,accurate wetland maps and the definition of wetlands". The city can determine wetland boundaries higher than the OHWE if necessary,but the ordinance currently uses the OHWE to determine setbacks from those wetlands. Can the ordinance be improved? Even though wetland boundaries are flexibly determined, setbacks from those wetlands are not. Conceivably,it is possible for a building or a drainfield to be inside a wetland basin while still meeting the setbacks. If that happens,wetlands may not be protected in reality,and certainly not by the public's perception. The intent of the ordinance could be compromised. ' Class B wetlands should not automatically be perceived as insignificant. It is commonly known among specialists in lake hydrology and biology that OHW or 100 year flood elevations do not always define the physical edge of a wetland, since fringe wetlands sometimes ' classified as B by the city frequently exist above these elevations. For example,study the 1989 aerial topo of Lake Lucy around much of the shoreline,and you'll see a large difference in land area between the OHWE,956.1,and the edge of the wetland vegetation and wet soil areas at approximately 1-2 feet higher on the contour. Even if margin of error discounted the true contours,study of the soils, vegetation,and natural drainage of these areas would show they are a vital and integral part of the entire wetland ecosystem,and many experts would agree that certain Class B wetlands deserve the same protection when they are part of a lake's Class A wetland basin,and can't be replaced. ' Who and what does this affect? This directly affects at least eight homeowners on Lake Lucy involving over 30%of the shoreland,not just Outlot A,as well as untold others on more lakes and wetlands in Chanhassen.If fringe wetland basins are hurt.,the watershed could suffer from poorer water quality downstream. As more ' variances under the existing ordinances are granted,bad precedence could be set,upsetting natural drainage and water quality and affecting dependent Class A wetland vegetation and wildlife. • I How could the ordinance change? A wetland protection ordinance should have a clear definition of a wetland with limits set for size. I submit the adoption of the USFWS (Cowardin et al system, 1979)definition of a wetland for the ordinance,used by munipalities all over the U.S,maybe with refinements imposed by the city. A wetland must have one or more of the following: A.At least periodically,the land supports predominantly hydrophytes. B. Substrate is predominantly undrained hydric soil. ' C.Substrate is nonsoil and is saturated with water or covered with shallow water sometime during the growing season of each year. ' Class B should take into account that under certain conditions,they deserve the same protection as a Class A,for example if they are part of a Class A wetland basin on a lake,and can't be replaced because of certain environmental factors,and Class B could perhaps be further defined as critical. ' I suggest that wetlands as low as 1 acre on rural residential,residential,commercial,industrial, public properties,and as low as 21/2 acres on farms qualify for full protection under the ordinance, unless you already have something more restrictive. I also submit that the setbacks in Section 20409 be either as flexible as the definition,or be more rigid and go beyond the OHWE and the 100 year flood elevation to the actual physical boundary of wetland areas with new wording including the same setbacks: ' "XXX feet from the OHWE,100 year flood elevation,or the physical[or critical]wetland boundary,whichever is higher in elevation". ' It would still be the responsibility of the developer to provide a reliable survey and technical information,etc. to help the city determine the exact wetland boundary. Probable benefits: ' -Will improve the perception,if not the reality,that all important wetlands up to their physical boundaries and the watersheds the wetlands feed into are protected -Provide a clear definition of wetlands in Section 20-405,to help all involved make a reliable determination of wetland boundaries ' -Provide a basis for accurate mapping of physical wetland boundaries and match closer to official public maps -Verifiable features lead to accurate soil and vegetation records -Commonly acceptable to related agencies ' -Readily understood and used by those involved in wetland protection situations Thank you for your consideration. • • 1 • 2,J,1 CITYOF C C.

While the old saying "out of ' sight out of mind" may be appropiate, it is getting to the point now where the large seminary building is not necessarily out of sight , or for that matter , out of mind. ' For the past three years , we have been working with the owners of the Assumption Seminary property in our efforts to first make it safe and secondly, to clean it up and make it at least presen- table. We have met with some success in our efforts, in that the devil worship occult writing that was inscribed all over the front facade, has been removed. In addition, the- openings to the ' building have been boarded up, and the tentants in the building nextdoor have been keeping a closer eye on the property. Unfortunately, the boards have continuously been dismantled, and ' the police calls to the seminary property have increased, mainly due to the increase observation by the tenants. As a consequence, the Sheriff 's Department is concerned that a lot of their resources are being tied up handling calls at the seminary. They in turn cannot respond effectively or efficiently to calls received in the more populated area of the City to the ' north. These concerns have generated new meetings with the ownership in our attempts to negotiate a workable agreement. As Scott said in his memo, raising the building would be cost prohibitive for any organization. In addition, the sale of the property has not come to fruition, mainly because of the expense to rehabilitate the structure. ' Don Ashworth June 14 , 1990 ' Page 2 ' In our most recent meeting with the ownership, we have asked that they fence in the property with chainlink fence. We have also asked that they consider utilizing private security to periodically patrol the grounds . This coupled with earlier agreements to light the area and board up the structure, should further enhance the property ' s ability to keep undesireables ' away. In the meantime, we have had new feelers by interested people ' in the property. The Public Safety Department in conjunction with Planning is meeting with these people to determine the feasibility of another project . ' As you can see, we are continually monitoring the seminary property and will continue to do Aso as long it poses a nuisance and public safety threat to the commmunity. • • 1 I I 1 1 . .

Coincidentally. I have again been in contact with the ownership, and I would like to explain the status of this matter through this memo . IIBACKGROUND This was one of the first issues that you and I tackled together . I when conducted inspections of the property for zoning and code violations . What we found was a unique propert, that had fallen into a state of disrepair , with code violations in existence. II Immediate efforts on our part resulted in the large dormatory structure being burned by our Fire Department ; numerous car tires and other debris being stored within the barn being removed; I barrels of stored paint sludge being tested; and efforts pursued by the owners to secure the premises ( security lighting installed, entrances boarded up . increased observation by tenants next door , etc. ) . IIPlease recall that you and I met with City Attorney Roger Knutson and Mr . James Schumacher , the representative owner of the group that owns II the property. This meeting was held at the time of our initial involvement to explore options with the owners so as to meet the needs of the City of Chanhassen. While the City wanted the main structure II torn down, a compromise was reached whereby the building would be secured , debris cleaned up, and the exterior of the building improved. I will state here that the ownership has been both cooperative and I responsive to requests from City Hall . They resisted recommendations to raze the building because they feel that the structure may be worthy of being rehabed for new use, as well as the fact that a great IIdeal of expense would be incurred in such a demolition II . Jim Chaffee May 29 , 1990 Page 2 project . During initial discussions with our City Attorney, we all doubted that the City would be interested in condemning the ' building and taking on the expense of tearing it down , if other options existed. ANALYSIS For various reasons , the owners have been unsuccessful in their attempts to keep the building completely secured. The building ' has continued to be a popular site for trespassers , perhaps because of a combination of the out of the way Iocation and the intrigue that surrounds an abandoned seminary building. Several weeks ago I contacted Mr . Schumacher again , advising him that attempts to date were unsuccessful , and that additional action would need to be taken. There is no doubt that the structure , as it presently sits , is a problem. The ancillary problem is '4chat to do about it " . Perhaps the most desireable solution ( that of getting it torn i down) is considerably easier to suggest than accomplish . During preliminary meetings with the ownership and our City Attorney, Mr . Schumacher made it clear that they would resist such a demand from us . At the time , their argument was not without merit , and it was for this reason that alternative attempts to secure the premises were entertained . The lighting, boarding up of the building and increased efforts by the tenants in the adjacent ' building have simply not been successful . I would imagine that this property was purchased with the logical anticipation that growth of the City would make this a worthwhile investment . .However , growth on the south end of town has been slower than anticipated, possibly because of the lack of sewer and water in that area. The property has been on the market /throughout our negotiations with the ownership, but while there have been several interested parties , the property has not been sold to date . Several parties were interested in creating either a hotel type operation or an office style building, both incorporating the history of the building into the rehab. As far as I know, no one has been interested in purchasing the property with. the intent of demolishing the structure, just to use the land. In the past , I have made recommendations to the City that this could be a fasci - I/ nating area for park development . It is a beautiful area of Chanhassen. RECOMMENDATION You and I recently met with Mr . Schumacher again . He acknowledged our ' concerns and agreed to take immediate steps to resecur•e the structure , as well as to investigate fencing and private security patrols . He also expressed an interest in reconsidering the demolition of the building. We have scheduled another meeting with him next month to be advised of the ownership ' s intention .

Extensive criminal damage occurred in this area between the evening of 6/7/90 and the morning of 6/8/90. In the morning we assisted by taking reports , securing crime • scenes , arranging for equipment to be used by investigators , and checking the area for damage. The two of us , along with Carver County Deputies and Safety Patrol members spent the afternoon going door-to-door in the area 1 seeking possible information. At the request of Sgt . Bob Bergmann, I wrote a "Crime Alert" flyer which we distributed to each residence. Bob and I both found this to be not only an interesting and educational experience but a great opportunity. We enjoyed being able to assist . I believe this was an excellent example of how well the two departments can work together. • P.S. A resident of this area came in to see me on Monday, June Ill , 1990, with his crime prevention concerns and to commend us on the excellent job we did! Although' it is rather short notice we set up a Neighborhood Watch meeting for this area. The meeting will be held on Monday, June 18, 7:00 PM at his residence.

S . Open On Friday, June 8, 1990, we had another meeting of the 1991 U.S. Open Advisory Committee. As you are aware, myself and Gary Warren are a member of this committee and have been meeting since ' the middle of 1989. At this stage, we are in the process of finalizing the traffic and parking arrangements for the upcoming 1991 U.S. Open to be held at Hazeltine National Golf Club. Although parking will not be a general problem for the City of Chanhassen, certainly the large volume of traffic traveling through the City will poten- ' tially pose some public safety concerns. It is believed that all the parking now can be contained close to the Hazeltine National Golf Club. However, as a contingency they still have sites available within the corporate limits of the City of Chanhassen, specifically the Minnetonka Intermediate School . The attached documents will give you an idea of the parking con- figurations and traffic flows. Lt . Bob Horner of the Minnesota State Patrol will be the coordinator of all traffic related con- cerns . Lt . Horner will be meeting with the Carver County Sheriff 's Department to finalize and determine the best locations for police control of intersections. ' We will be meeting again at the end of August to finalize these parking and traffic plans. If you have any questions or comments regarding these issues, please let me know so that I may bring them up at the next meeting. 1 1 1 Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. 1 • 1991 U.S. OPEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE JUNE 8, 1990 AT HAZELTINE GOLF CLUB 1 AGENDA 1.

Wing ' 1321 Ashton Court Chanhassen, MN 55317 IDear Mr. and Mrs . Wing: It has been observed that a basketball hoop/backboard structure has been erected within the cul-de-sac right-of-way of Ashton ' Court. While basketball hoops are commonly allowed facilities, the particular location for this structure presents some serious problems for the City. ' Residential cul-de-sacs within the City are typically constructed with a 50 or 60-foot radius of right-of-way. This yields an ' adequately sized boulevard area to allow for utility installation, snow storage and other maintenance activities . Having this structure located within the right-of-way conflicts with these operations. However, the most important issue to address is safety. Streets and roadways are primarily designed and constructed for the ' purpose of providing safe and efficient movement of traffic. Structures that encourage this type of recreational activity in the street are hazardous and not permitted by the City. ' At this time we are unable to determine ownership of the basketball hoop structure. If this is not yours , please disregard the remainder of this letter. However, if it is your ' hoop, I trust that you will empathize with these concerns and remove the basketball hoop/backboard structure from the cul-de-sac right-of-way within the next 30 days. Failure to do so will necessitate street maintenance personnel to remove it and store it at the Public Works facility where you may pick it up. Bradley J. & Janette M. Wing June 26 , 1990 Page 2 This policy will be enforced at all other locations within the City where similar structures are located within the street right-of-way. Your cooperation and attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, CITY OF CHANHAS /onto, harles D.

I intend to call you and JoAnn as witnesses, and possibly Paul Krauss. Therefore, I ask each of you to please plan to be available for court on July 10, 1990. You should also know that I have spoken with Mr. Carlson's ' attorney, Pat Leavitt. Mr. Leavitt informs me that he will be seeking a continuance of the trial date because he has two other trials scheduled that week. Mr. Leavitt will be meeting with ' Mr. Carlson on June 26, 1990. Mr. Leavitt will be contacting me after that meeting to discuss a plea bargain which might be satisfactory to the City. I am fully aware of the City's grave concern over Mr. Carlson's conduct and the condition of his property. If Mr. Leavitt makes any concrete proposal to settle the case, I will certainly involve you in those discussions. Pleae call if you have any questions.

Although I an sure we all agree it is nice to see our lakes rising arid lawns green, it has been challenging for us to continue to make good progress on the Frontier Trail project. 1 However, I am pleased to report that due to the diligence of our contractors and the patience of you folks, we have lost little time, if any, in our construction 1 schedule and we are continuing to move aggressively forward with the project. At this point in time, we estimate the project is approximately 50% complete with the construction of all major underground utilities done. The north end of 1 the project has recently seen the construction of the concrete curb and gutter and, although we have a few driveway grades to resolve, I believe it is caning together properly. The next step after the concrete will be the bituminous base "• course which should go quite rapidly. 1 The south end of the project will see the conclusion of the storm sewer construction during the week of July 2 and the initiation of a two to three-foot subcut of 1 bad materials. Once this is concluded, the crushed rock will be hauled into this area followed by concrete curb and gutter and ultimately backtop base course. As we continue to the drier months (I hope) we should see less and less interruption 1 of the construction schedule. Similarly, the above-grade construction will go faster since there are less unknowns to be resolved. We are still optimistic that the project will be substantially complete by the August 1, 1990 schedule. Your 1 patience and cooperation has been greatly appreciated and we look forward to wrapping this project up as noted. I am sure we all have a new understanding of the term "weather permitting"! 1 Sincerely, CITY OF CHANHASSEN ‘00-4.4144--)/eaL__ Gary G.uen, P.E.

They agreed 1 that we need to assess the need for soccer fields in Shorewood and to coordinate our efforts with those of other area cities and the Minnetonka School District. 1 For this season, I understand the City has made alternative fields available in Freeman Park so that the Public Works Department can continue to maintain excellent turf on the 1 Badger Park field. • In fact, I understand the City has made four fields available 1 in Freeman Park - as we became aware of the demand for soccer playing fields . And, those four fields will continue to be available throughout the soccer season unless the recently es- 1 tablished turf cannot, in the opinion of the Public Works Director, withstand the use they are being put to. We would only ask that the Association monitor playing condi- 1 Lions and field surfaces so that this will continue to be a resource throughout this season - and into future years. 1 Now that we are aware of the demand for soccer playing fields , we think it is important that we meet with representatives of TUSA, the Minnetonka School District - which schedules our 1 fields , and the other communities TUSA serves to: 1 . Determine the present and future needs of the soccer community; 2. The responsibility each city and the School Distris _ _. I will have to provide those fields ; 3. The resources available to provide and maintain h0'0 129 1 A Residential Community on Lake Minnetonka's South Shore CITY OF CHAN HASSEN Mr. Anderson June 22 , 1990 Page two fields ; and, ' 4.

The financial resources available for the program and field maintenance, as you see them. ' The City also would like TUSA to sign and return the contract for Park use sent by our staff. We require this of all groups reserving park areas . I trust the City staff responded quickly and courteously once your needs became known. I regret the City of Shorewood was not aware of the interest in soccer nor the schedule for field '' use established by Community Services. Our staff and Park Commission were not aware of the success the trial year of use on Badger field had had. We only learned of this after we had begun to prepare Badger field for use this year. With the lines of communication open, we should be able to develop concrete programs for the future use of Shorewood and other community' s facilities more easily. It continues to be our goal to provide reasonable opportunity ' for all Park activities and meet the need's of our community as resources permit.

Paul Krause, planning director for the city of Chanhassen, sent a letter pointing out that ' the city anticipates submitting a MUSA request substantially larger than the staff estimates is needed in the report. The committee asked if the project was within the area to be included within the MUSA request the city is preparing for submittal this summer. Staff indicated it will be included. The committee asked if the parcel to the north will then be included within the MUSA. Staff responded that the city will likely request the addition of several hundred acres which will include this area. ' FINDINGS 1.

The lot to the west ' has a failed on-site system which needs to be replaced. Rather than installing a new on-site system, the homeowners and city are seeking a hookup to the central sanitary sewer system which is located a.short distance away. ' AUTHORITY TO REVIEW ' The Metropolitan Land Use Planning Act of 1976 requires that amendments to local comprehensive plans be prepared, submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review and adopted in the same manner as the original plans (Minn. Stat. 473.864, subd. 2, 1978). Guidelines adopted ' pursuant to Minh. Stat. 473.864 for reviewing proposed amendments provide a 90-day review period for amendments potentially affecting one or more of the metropolitan systems, and a 60- day review period for amendments that do not have a potential impact on metropolitan systems. The city of Chanhassen submitted its proposed comprehensive plan amendment on April 11, 1990. On April 24, 1990, the Chair determined that the proposed amendment has no potential impact upon any of the metropolitan system plans, but that the Council would review the amendment and comment on the consistency of the amendment with adopted chapters of the Metropolitan Development Guide. Therefore, the 60 day review period applies. The city has agreed to an extension of the review period from June 11 to June 14 to correspond with the Council meeting date. 1 • ANALYSIS Metropolitan Development and Investment Framework (Paul Baltzersen) The proposed extension of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area would serve two existing single family homes on five acre lots. The parcels are located on Lucy Lake Road immediately east and ' south of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area. The inclusion of the two parcels is being requested on an emergency basis to permit a property owner with a failed on-site system to connect to central sanitary sewer. While installing a new on-site system is a possibility, the city is ' currently preparing a plan amendment to request a large MUSA expansion. This area would be included, and the homeowner would be asked to connect to central sanitary sewer when available. ' Inclusion of this area within the MUSA would provide service to existing development and does not expand the amount of vacant, developable land within the MUSA. ' The city intends to submit a request for a large MUSA expansion this summer to remedy a shortage of vacant developable land within the existing MUSA. A preliminary review of the supply and demand to the year 2000 for vacant, developable land shows the city has a demand of ' over 1,300 acres and a supply of 928 acres. The city is the process of preparing a plan amendment in response to the 1988 Metropolitan System Statement. The city has received an extension to September 1, 1990. ' Sewers (Jack Frost) ' The lot furthest to the west has a failed on-site system and according to the city inspector has effluent discharging above ground. This winter the system was pumped every two weeks. The house was sited to eventually connect to central sanitary sewer. The city is undertaking a feasibility study to connect the houses to a line that would be extended from a dead end line in Lake Lucy Road further to the west. Service to the house with failed on- site system would require extension past the other house to the east on Lucy Lake Road. The city does not see any problems in providing gravity sewer. The Metropolitan Council and city of Chanhassen are parties to the Lake Ann Agreement which lays out the use of sewer capacity in l the Lake Ann interceptor and the conditions under which service would be extended. The agreement provides that the city may not extend sewer service beyond the existing MUSA without the consent of the Metropolitan Council. FINDINGS 1. The city of Chanhassen has proposed inclusion of a 10 acre parcel within the MUSA to provide service to a house with a failing on-site waste disposal system. 2. The inclusion of this property within the MUSA would provide service to existing ' development and would not expand the amount of vacant developable land within the city at this time. • 2 I ' 3. The city is in the process of preparing a proposal to substantially expand its MUSA, which would include this area to be submitted this summer.

We have provided you with the necessary documentation and are generally comfortable with your staff's report to you on the matter. We do, however, wish to highlight the fact that the City is currently preparing a major Guide Plan amendment that we expect to submit to the Metropolitan Council by late summer or fall of this year. We further want to state that we believe that your staff's estimate of available and required sewered land for the year 2000, ' in our opinion, significantly understates the City's actual need. Chanhassen has grown considerably faster than either the Systems Statement or even the City would have anticipated. The Systems ' Statement continues to project a population of 10, 000 with 4 ,500 jobs for the year 2,000, while we have a current population of approximately 12,000 and well over 5,000 jobs today. We have been working with your staff on our plan since last fall and are confident that the evidence it contains will support the MUSA line request. We look forward to working with you on this matter in the future.

Wilson, I want to follow up on our phone conversation concerning the 1 noise problem the past few nights in the vicinity of DataServ . As I explained on the phone, the construction that is going on in that area involves the upgrading and expansion of Lake Drive East ; in particular , the watermains . Apparently, the Engineering Consultant has contracted with Northdale Construction to take care of that particular portion of the upgrade. Because ' there was a need to shut off the water to both DataSery and McDonalds to work on the watermain, they felt it prudent to do the construction during the night to prevent those businesses from being without water . Unfortunately, it created a noise ' problem for the surrounding neighborhood. ' When Mayor Don Chmiel called me this morning, I immediately con- tacted Phil Tipka who is the Project Manager for OSM Engineering. I asked Phil if there was going to be another night where they will be doing work in that area, and he indicated that there would not . I informed Phil that because of the noise problems in the area that we could not tolerate, another night of construction and disruption of the neighborhood. I then contacted Dave Hempel from the City ' s Engineering Department , and explained to him the 1 problem. Dave indicated that the Engineering Department was aware that night construction would be occurring; however , they were under the understanding that it would only occur on one 1 night . Any future night construction was to have been approved by the Engineering Department and notices sent out to the neighborhood prior to that activity occurring. Unfortunately, that was not the case, which is part of the problem that we 1 experienced. As we discussed on the phone, the Sheriff ' s Department was correct in indicating that they could not provide relief to you for that particular problem. As it stands now, the City of Chanhassen has no noise ordinance that would prevent that type of activity from occurring. And again, as we discussed , I would not 1 I n W W O(A n D •" 0 CO CO I (A a z D 33 3 • W r 0 D W 0 V 0 C O Z V 0 0 0 • 0 '0 0 -I I 0 -0 D c 3 o n n M r 2 Z r n PI n m a a 0 0N) z° r Z '" C I •O C 0 Z x CZ) -< a Z N m m oz z r v r D I XI < C XI D N CO I 'N 4 '71 0 c r Cl c N m c m m - 1 1 o r r v -Ni G C 0 -I O O D n 3 N O'' • C m m m z z z I n 2 -+ -o r 0) m 3 RI M I I I • I .
