PUBLIC HEARING: REDEVELOPMENT AND TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN, MODIFICATION
NO. 9.
Todd Gerhardt: Mr. Mayor, councilmenbers. Your November 19, 1989 work session,
staff had handed out Modification No. 9. The redevelopment plan was handed out
that evening. It wasn't a lengthy discussion regarding that plan. Staff just
asked Councilor embers if they had any questions or concerns that we may address
those prior to tonight's meeting. Under State law you have to approve the plan
and Modification No. 9 consists of several public improvements such as the north
side parking lot, the south side parking lot and the redesign of both parking
lots at City Hall as to the public improvements. Additional public improvements
would consist of Market Blvd. as it would go south of TH 5, Lake Drive East as
in front of Empak and the Rosemount facility and again the north side parking
lot and the lighting along Lake Drive East. One other item included in the plan
for modification would be land acquisition. The Fh►pak site. Also the grocery
store site. The parking lot areas and also the extension of Market Blvd.
between West 78th Street and Coulter. Staff is ready for any questions tt
regarding the plan and any modifications to those. We do recommend that the
City Council adopt the Resolution approving the redevelopment tax increment
financing plan No. 9.
Mayor Chmiel: Is there anyone from the audience wishing to address this issue?
This is a public hearing.
Councilman Johnson moved, Councilman Workman seconded to close the public
hearing. All voted in favor and the motion carried. The public hearing was
closed.
Councilman Workman: Mr. Mayor, just one quick point. Not too many people have
maybe access to the report. Maybe a lot of people don't want to have access.
One thing that's strikingly apparent in there is basically the City of
Chanhassen owns and basically operates every parking lot in town. I guess I
kind of wanted to, and I got an answer from Don Ashworth basically why do we own
all the parking lots in town? Why are we making improvements to the Chanhassen
Dinner Theatre parking lots, etc and I was I guess given a fair enough answer in
that that's the way we get the improvements in by owning the parking lots. At
any given time the City can give back those parking lots for maintenance, etc..
I have a problem, as also an HRA member with continuing down the road owning all
these parking lots and maintaining than and I guess I wanted to get that point
into the record as far as why that is.
Todd Gerhardt: If I could add a point to that. It's true the City does
maintain the parking lots but those costs are then assessed back to those
benefitting property owners from there so the City's tax dollars are not spent.

11 City Council Meeting L December 4, 1989
Councilw man Dimler: Could I just ask one question?
IMayor Chmiel: John, did you have anything to say about that?
John Doric: I think I speak for everyone that isn't here that we would find it
difficult to have people to celebrate New Year's that at a quarter to 12:00 go
home.
' Councilwoman Dimler: I just have one quick question to our attorney about our
liability. Does it increase it in any way?
' Elliott Knetsch: No. On City liability?
Councilwoman Dialer. Yes.
Elliott Knetsch: No.
Councilman Workman: City liability can't get any higher. Say John, don't you
have teen night on Sundays also?
John Doric: Yes.
Councilman Workman: So there are children under 21 in the bar on Sunday night?
John Doric: Well not the Sunday that we're talking about.
�i Councilman Workman: I know.
Councilman Johnson: He's backing up.
Councilman Workman: I'm backing up to the cigarette issue.
John Doric: We have teen night every Sunday night from 6:00 until 10:00 and we
allow everyone up to 20 years of age and none of them can smoke. If they're 20,
19 or 18, they cannot smoke. It's a no smoking room.
Mayor Qrriel: Okay, thank's John. I have a motion on the floor. Do I have a
second?
Councilwoman Dimler: Second.
Councilman Johnson: I just want to state my general principle of not wanting to
increase the availability of liquor. I'm somewhat anti-drugs but in this case
we're just meeting State law and I'm going to vote for it just because all we're
doing is moving this to make our laws in conformance with the state laws but
' otherwise I would not want to in general increase our hours of alcohol
consumption. It just makes for more drunk.
Councilwoman Dialer: This is only for that night isn't it?
Councilman Johnson: No. This is forever. Every Sunday night.
