the latest maturity date will be prepaid first. If only part of the Bonds

prepaid will be chosen by lot by the Registrar. All payments will be at a price
of par plus accrued interest.
' Section 2. Registration and Payment.
2.01. Registered Form. The Bonds shall be issued only in fully registered
' form. The interest thereon and, upon surrender of each Bond, the principal
amount thereof, is payable by check or draft issued by the Registrar described
herein.
' 2.02. Dates; Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the
last interest payment date preceding the date of authentication to which inter-
est on the Bond has been paid or made available for payment, unless (i) the date
' of authentication is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid or
made available for payment, in which case such Bond shall be dated as of the
date of authentication, or (ii) the date of authentication is prior to the first
interest payment date, in which case such Bond will be dated as of the date of
original issue. The interest on the Bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1
of each year, commencing August 1, 1990, to the owner of record thereof as of
the close of business on the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month,
whether or not such day is a business day.
2.03. Registration. The City will appoint, and shall maintain, a bond
' registrar, transfer agent, authenticating agent and paying agent (Registrar).
The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the Regis-
trar with respect thereto are as follows:
' (a) Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate
trust office a bond register in which the Registrar provides for the
registration of ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and
exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly
' endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly exe-
cuted by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by
the registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as
requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books
for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month
' preceding each interest payment date and until such interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the registered
owner for exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more
' new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested
by the registered owner or the owner's attorney in writing.
(d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon any transfer or exchange
will be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as
directed by the City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to
the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond
until the Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on the Bond or
' separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested
transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no liability for
the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment,
' deems improper or unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the
person in whose name a Bond is registered in the bond register as the
absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is overdue or not, for the
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and
interest on the Bond and for all other purposes and payments so made to
registered owner or upon the owner's order will be valid and effectual to
satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum
or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. For a transfer or exchange of Bonds,
the Registrar may impose a charge upon' the owner thereof sufficient to
reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge
' required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes
' mutilated or is destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new
Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of
and in substitution for a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment
of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection
therewith; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon
filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was
' destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnish-
ing to the Registrar of an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance
and amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both the
' City and the Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so surrendered to
the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such
cancellation must be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed,
stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been called for redemption in
1
accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a new Bond
Y prior to
payment.
' (i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for re-
demption, notice thereof identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given
by the Registrar by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class
mail (postage prepaid) not more than 60 and not less than 30 days prior to
the date fixed for redemption to the registered owner of each Bond to be
' redeemed at the address shown on the registration books kept by the Regis-
trar and by publishing the notice in the manner required by law. Failure
to give notice by publication or by mail to any registered owner, or any
defect therein, will not affect the validity of any proceeding for the
redemption of Bonds. Bonds so called for redemption will cease to bear
interest after the specified redemption date, provided that the funds for
the redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that time.
' 2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints
, Minnesota, as the
initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Manager are authorized to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or
consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting
corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such busi-
ness, such corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City
agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the
services performed. The City reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon 30
' days' notice and upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event
the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to
the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor
Registrar. On or before each principal or interest due date, without further
' order of this Council, the Treasurer must transmit to the Registrar moneys
sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due.
' 2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared
under the direction of the Manager and executed on behalf of the City by the
signatures of the Mayor and the Manager, provided that all signatures may be
' printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. In case any
officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds
ceases to be such officer before the delivery of any Bond, such signature or
facsimile will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same
as if the officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such
execution, a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to
any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of
authentication on the Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an
authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on
different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed
certificate of authentication on each Bond is conclusive evidence that it has
' been authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. When the Bonds have
been so prepared, executed and authenticated, the Treasurer shall deliver the
same to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the
contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser is not obli-
gated to see to the application of the purchase price.
' 2.06. Temporary Bonds. The City may elect to deliver in lieu of printed
definitive Bonds one or more typewritten temporary Bonds in substantially the
1
form set forth in Section 3 with such changes as may be necessary to reflect
more than one maturity in a single temporary bond. Upon the execution and
' delivery of definitive Bonds the temporary Bonds will be exchanged therefor and
cancelled.
' Section 3. Form of Bond.
3.01. The Bonds will be printed in substantially the following form:

amount thereof, is payable by check or draft issued by the Registrar described
herein.
2.02. Dates. Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the
last interest payment date preceding the date of authentication to which inter-
est on the Bond has been paid or made available for payment, unless (i) the date
of authentication is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid or
made available for payment, in which case such Bond shall be dated as of the
date of authentication, or (ii) the date of authentication is prior to the first
interest payment date, in which case such Bond will be dated as of the date of
original issue. The interest on the Bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1
of each year, commencing August 1, 1990, to the owner of record thereof as of
the close of business on the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month,
whether or not such day is a business day.
2.03. Registration. The City will appoint, and shall maintain, a bond
registrar, transfer agent, authenticating agent and paying agent (Registrar) .
The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the Regis-
11 trar with respect thereto are as follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate
trust office a bond register in which the Registrar provides for the
' registration of ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and
exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly
endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly exe-
cuted by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by
the registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as
requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books
for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month
preceding each interest payment date and until such interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the registered
owner for exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more
I
I
11
I
new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested
' by the registered owner or the owner's attorney in writing.
(d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon any transfer or exchange
will be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as
' directed by the City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to
' the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond
until the Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on the Bond or
separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested
' transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no liability for
the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment,
deems improper or unauthorized.
' (f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the
person in whose name a Bond is registered in the bond register as the
absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is overdue or not, for the
' purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and
interest on the Bond and for all other purposes, and payments so made to a
registered owner or upon the owner's order will be valid and effectual to
satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum
or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. For a transfer or exchange of Bonds,
the Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof sufficient to
reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge
required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.
' (h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes
mutilated or is destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new
Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and
I substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of
and in substitution for a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment
of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection
' therewith; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon
filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was
destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnish-
' ing to the Registrar of an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance
and amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both the
City and the Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so surrendered to
the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such
cancellation must be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed,
stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been called for redemption in
accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a new Bond prior to
payment.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints
, Minnesota, as the
initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Manager are authorized to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or
consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting
corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such busi-
ness, such corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City
I
11
I
agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the
' services performed. The City reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon 30
days' notice and upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event
the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to
the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor
Registrar. On or before each principal or interest due date, without further
order of this Council, the Treasurer must transmit to the Registrar moneys
sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due.
2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared
under the direction of the Manager and executed on behalf of the City by the
' signatures of the Mayor and the Manager, provided that all signatures may be
printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. In case any
officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds
ceases to be such officer before the delivery of any Bond, such signature or
facsimile will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same
as if the officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such
execution, a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to
' any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of
authentication on the Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an
authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on
different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed
certificate of authentication on each Bond is conclusive evidence that it has
been authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. When the Bonds have
been so prepared, executed and authenticated, the Treasurer shall deliver the
' same to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the
contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser is not obli-
gated to see to the application of the purchase price.
2.06. Temporary Bonds. The City may elect to deliver in lieu of printed
definitive Bonds one or more typewritten temporary Bonds in substantially the
form set forth in Section 3 with such changes as may be necessary to reflect
I more than one maturity in a single temporary bond. Upon the execution and
delivery of definitive Bonds the temporary Bonds will be exchanged therefor and
cancelled.

transfer agent, authenticating agent and paying agent (Registrar). The effect
of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the Registrar with
Irespect thereto are as follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate
trust office a bond register in which the Registrar provides for the
11 registration of ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and
exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged.
1 (b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly
endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly exe-
' cuted by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by
the registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate and
II
11
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as
' requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books
for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month
preceding each interest payment date and until such interest payment date.
' (c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the registered
owner for exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more
new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested
by the registered owner or the owner's attorney in writing.
(d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon any transfer or exchange
' will be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as

(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to
the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond
until the Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on the Bond or
separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested
transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no liability for
the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment,
deems improper or unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the
person in whose name a Bond is registered in the bond register as the
absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is overdue or not, for the
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and
interest on the Bond and for all other purposes, and payments so made to a
registered owner or upon the owner's order will be valid and effectual to
satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum
or sums so paid.
' (g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. For a transfer or exchange of Bonds,
the Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof sufficient to
reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge
required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.
' (h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes
mutilated or is destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new
' Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of
and in substitution for any Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the
' payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connec-
tion therewith; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon
filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was
destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnish-
' ing to the Registrar of an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance
and amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both the
City and the Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so surrendered to
the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such
cancellation must be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed,
stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been called for redemption in
accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a new Bond prior to
payment.
r
(i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are
Y called for re-
demption, notice thereof identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given
by the Registrar by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class
mail (postage prepaid) not more than 60 and not less than 30 days prior to
the date fixed for redemption to the registered owner of each Bond to be
' redeemed at the address shown on the registration books kept by the Regis-
trar and by publishing the notice in the manner required by law. Failure
to give notice by publication or by mail to any registered owner, or any
defect therein, will not affect the validity of any proceeding for the
' redemption of Bonds. Bonds so called for redemption will cease to bear
interest after the specified redemption date, provided that the funds for
the redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that time.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints
f , Minnesota, as the
initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Manager are authorized to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or
consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting
corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such busi-
ness, such corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City
agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the
services performed. The City reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon 30
' days' notice and upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event
the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to
the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor
Registrar. On or before each principal or interest due date, without further
order of this Council, the Treasurer must transmit to the Registrar moneys
sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due.
' 2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared
under the direction of the Manager and executed on behalf of the City by the
signatures of the Mayor and the Manager, provided that all signatures may be
printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. In case any
officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds
ceases to be such officer before the delivery of any Bond, such signature or
facsimile will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same
' as if the officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such
execution, a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to
any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of
' authentication on the Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an
authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on

amount, bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date, subject
to reimbursement for any tax, fee or governmental charge required to be paid

Mrs. Ursula Dimler
Chanhassen City Council/Board of Adjustment & Appeals
690 Coulter Drive
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Mrs. Dimler:
I spoke with you on Monday evening, November 13 , regarding the
Board of Adjustment & Appeals Public Hearing to consider the
application of Pierce Construction to receive a variance to the
Recreational Beachlot Ordinance. As I told you, my neighbor,,
Raymond Roettger, and I were at the Council Chambers to attend
the meeting which was published in the Chanhassen Villager for
November 13 (copy of Notice attached) . We were quite surprised
to find that the meeting was held one week prior to this date.
Since I spoke with you, I am addressing my letter to you with
the request that you forward my concerns to the other members of
the Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment and Appeals and the
City Council.
You stated you thought the action was tabled and rescheduled for
December 6, 1989. However, when I spoke with Jo Ann Olson on
November 14 , 1989, she stated that the variance was approved
pending the application of the City of Chanhassen to amend the
City Code to modify the recreational beachlot ordinance to
clarify lot depth requirements (scheduled for public hearing on
December 6, 1989) . This may be just a semantics problem;
however , if in fact the variance was approved , I request that it
be rescinded pending a proper public hearing.
As background for my request for rescission, there have been
several problems regarding proper notice for hearing on the
Pierce request. First , my neighbor and I have always been on
the City's distribution list for any notices regarding actions
pending in our area including previous requests for variances
from Mr. Pierce. However, for this latest action, no notices
were received. I attempt to diligently follow the Public
Notices section of the Villager for any actions coming before
various committees and boards of the City. If I have an opinion
regarding the action, I schedule my time so that I may attend
the hearing. Based on the City' s notice in the Villager, my
neighbor and I were present at the City Council Chambers at 7:00
P.M. on November 13 , 1989. It is one thing to reschedule a
hearing to a later date. It is somewhat undemocratic to hold a
hearing earlier than the published date.

Chanhassen City Council/Board of Adjustment & Appeals

From personal experience, my opinions regarding the Recreational
Beachlot Ordinance, and lake usage in general , are very strong.
Once the City grants a variance and the developer has proceeded,
it appears no further action by either the City or the developer
is required. The developer sells the property and walks away,
pockets full , and leaves compliance with the variance to the
buyers of the property. The City also leaves compliance to the
property owners, creating conflict between neighbors. The
Beachlot Ordinance, a carefully studied and crafted document,
was created to provide uniform, specific regulations for the
prolific subdivisions of our City' s lakefront properties. Yet
every time the ordinance conflicts with a developer' s financial
goals, a variance request is submitted and resubmitted.
Eventually the City gives in and so do the citizens.
In 1970, I purchased my first home which was located on Lotus
Lake. At that time, the lake was serene and peaceful and lake
residents were friendly and cooperative. By the time I moved to
Lake Minnewashta in 1980, the lake had become so crowded and
overused that the Lotus Lake homeowners were preparing a
proposal for one-way boat traffic on the lake with restrictions
on horsepower.
The City of Chanhassen also recognized the rapid growth in lake
usage. During the two-year period when I was an "off-shore"
member of Minnewashta Shores Homeowners Associations, the City
conducted a lake usage study which resulted in the creation of
the current ordinance. This ordinance provided the control that
was critical to preserve Chanhassen' s natural resources and
preclude exploitation by developers.
Currently I am an "on-shore" member of the Minnewashta Shores
Homeowners Association. The Shores recreational beachlot, two
acres in size with 20 boat slips , is located to the west of my
property. Because my property is lake frontage, I do not use
the beachlot property but contribute dues for maintenance and
insurance. Even as a dues-paying member of this Association, I
am unable to motivate off-shores members to repair docks and
remove debris. The cooperation and pride once shared by the
residents of this neighborhood is no longer present and there is
no developer present to enforce the provisions and restrictions
of the subdivision. Off-shore residents do not have to look at
the site every day.
Directly to the east of my property is the Sterling Estates
Outlot. This outlot , established by Joe Boyer when he
subdivided what is now called Sterling Estates, was created for
access to the lake by all residents of Sterling Estates. With a
35-foot lake frontage, it ' s design did not contain (nor did the
City's approval for the subdivision include) a beachlot or a
dock. It was merely a paved road to the lake which provided
Sterling Estates residents ingress to and egress from the lake.
Mrs. Ursula Dimler
Chanhassen City Council/Board of Adjustment & Appeals
21 November 1989
Page Three
One resident of Sterling Estates, without consultation with
other residents, installed a dock at the end of this paved road,
sold half interest to another resident and both moored boats at
this dock. To avoid neighborhood conflict , other residents
"turned their back" even though they opposed the dock.
Eventually, interest in the dock was split by four residents and
four boats were moored. After the fourth boat arrived, I tried
unsuccessfully several times to resolve the issue with the
neighbors and have them work out a solution amongst themselves.
I refused to accept this fourth boat which was 28 feet in length
and moored at the end of the dock overlapping onto my property.
None of these boat owners do repair of the dock or clean the
debris from the property. Of course, again, they do not have to
look at this property every day!
I worked with Barbara Dacy in an attempt to resolve the issue
which is still , in my opinion, unresolved. Prior to Barbara' s
leaving, I submitted a letter to her which to this date is
unanswered. At a minimum, her successor should have responded
to this letter. The City has walked away from my complaint.
The Minnewashta Heights Association' s beachlot is another
problem area. Although "grandfathered in" under the ordinance,
every year the dock gets wider and longer and more and more
boats are present. It is definitely not conducive to a swimming
area, yet the association has a swimming raft out beyond this
overcrowded dock. A combination swimming/boating area creates a
hazard not only for the residents of the Heights but for every
other boater on the lake.
The townhouses which were built on Reese' s Resort property, with
numerous variance approvals from the City, has resulted in
expanded "dockage" space by the use of buoys for mooring boats.
There are two other "problem" developments located west of
Minnewashta Parkway (the official association name, is unknown by
me) that currently have recreational beachlots. These were also
grandfathered in, yet they continue to grow and expand. One of
these, south of the Minnewashta Fire Station, is allowed to have
non-motorized boats (i.e. , canoes, rowboats) . However, the
"swimming" area now contains boatlifts, unconnected by any means
to the shoreline, which contain boats. How many residents have
small children that swim at this unsafe beach yet "turn their
backs" on the boat issue to avoid conflicts with their neighbors?
Granting yet another variance for a recreational beachlot will
create future problems for the residents of the Pierce
development as well as the other residents of Lake Minnewashta.
In addition, every time a variance is granted, a precedent has
been established for all lakes in the Chanhassen area.

Although I have a meeting in Bloomington on December 6 , I do
plan to attend the hearing on amending the City Code. I trust
this will not be rescheduled to an earlier date! Of course, as
evidenced by this letter I am totally opposed to amending the
Code. The ordinance was established after a careful , two-year
study and is necessary to preserve our beautiful city and its
natural resources. It is imperative that the City' s commissions
and Council maintain consistent, fair treatment to all residents
and developers. Further degradation of our lakes hurts all
citizens. Your energies should be directed to enforcing the
City Codes when necessary rather than amendments to appease a
few.
Again, please pass along my opinion and concerns. Thank you for
your time and I will see you on December 6th.
Sincerely,
Mary ;J .''Moore
