AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 15 OF THE CITY CODE
RELATING TO OFFICIAL MAPS AND THEIR EFFECT AND
PROVIDING PROCEDURES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHANHASSEN ORDAINS:
Section 1. Chapter 15 of the Chanhassen City Code is
amended by adding Article III to read as follows:
15-20 Purpose. Land that is needed for future street purposes
and as sites for other necessary public facilities and services is
frequently diverted to non-public uses which could have been
located on other lands without hardship or inconvenience to the
owners. When this happens, public uses of land may be denied or
may be obtained only at prohibitive cost or at the expense of
dislocating the owners and occupants of the land. Identification
on an official map of land needed for future public uses permits
both the public and private property owners to adjust their
building plans equitably and conveniently before investments are
made which will make such adjustments difficult to accomplish. It
is the purpose of this ordinance to provide a uniform procedure
for the proper use of official maps as authorized by the Minnesota
Municipal Planning Act, Minnesota Statutes, Sections 462. 351 to
462 . 36.
15-21 Official Map Defined. "Official map" as used in this
ordinance means a map adopted in accordance with this ordinance
showing existing streets, proposed future streets, and the area
needed for widening of existing streets of the City. An official
map may also show the location of existing and future land and
facilities within the City. An official map may cover the entire
City or any portion of the City.
15-22 Initiation of Proceedings. Proceedings for adoption, '
amendment, or repeal of an official map or any part thereof may be
initiated by (1) a recommendation of the Planning Commission; or
(2) action by the City Council on its own initiative,
recommendation of an advisory commission, or request of an outside
governmental body.
15-23 Sketch Maps and Reports. Every proposal or request for an
official map or its amendment or repeal, however initiated, shall
be accompanied by a sketch map or plat showing the lands proposed
to be included and the public purpose to be served.
15-24 Reference to Planning Commission. Except when proceedings
have been initiated by recommendation of the Planning Commission,
r05/09/89 '
MI
every proposed official map or change in a map shall be referred
to the Planning Commission for advice and recommendation thereon,
' and such recommendation shall be submitted to the City Council
within forty-five (45) days after reference to the Planning
Commission along with the report of the Commission on the effect
' of the proposal on the comprehensive plan of the City. If no
recommendation is received by the Council from the Planning
Commission within forty-five (45) days after reference of the
proposal to the Commission by the Council, the Council may take
' such action as it may deem proper upon the proposal without
further action by the Planning Commission.
' 15-25 Notice and Hearing.
A. Notice. Upon receiving the recommendation of the
' Planning Commission or after forty-five (45) days from the
submission of the proposal to the Planning Commission without a
recommendation from the Commission, the Council may call a public
hearing on the proposal. A notice of the time, place, and purpose
' of the hearing and a description of property to be included in the
mapped streets and public grounds shall be published in the
official newspaper at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the
' hearing. At least ten (10) days prior to the hearing the Clerk
shall also mail a copy of the notice to each owner of land
situated within or abutting any street or other public ground
shown on the official map. For purposes of this notice the owners
shall be determined by the records of the County Auditor and the
notice shall be addressed to the last known address as shown by
the Auditor's records. Failure to serve any such notice shall not
' invalidate the proceedings. •
B. Hearing. At the time and place specified in the
' notice, the Council shall hear evidence and arguments concerning
the proposal. The hearing may be continued from time to time
without further notice. The Council may direct the Planning
Commission to conduct a hearing and following the hearing to
' report its recommendation to the Council.
15-26 Preparation and Filing of Maps. The official map or maps
' shall be prepared in sufficient detail to permit the establishment
of future acquisition lines on the ground. In unplatted areas a
minimum of a centerline survey shall be made prior to the
preparation of the final draft of the official" map. After
' enactment of any ordinance adopting an official map or amending or
repealing a previous official map ordinance, a certified copy of
the official map or section to which the ordinance relates
together with an attached copy of the ordinance shall be filed
with the County Recorder.
15-27 Effect. After an official map has been adopted and filed,
' the issuance of building permits by the City shall be subject to
the provisions of this ordinance. The City shall deny every
application for a permit to construct a new building or structure
or expand an existing building or structure within any area
-2-
•
designated on the official map for street or other public
purposes. Whenever any street or highway is widened or improved
or any new street is opened, or any interest in lands for other
public purposes is acquired by the City, the City is not required
in such proceedings to pay for any building or structure placed
without a permit or in violation of conditions of a permit within '
the limits of the mapped street or outside of any building line
that may have been established upon the existing street or within
any area thus identified for public purposes. The adoption of an
official map does not give the City any right, title, or interest
in areas identified for public purposes thereon, but the adoption
of the map does authorize the City to acquire such interest
without paying compensation for buildings or structures erected in
such areas without a permit or in violation of the conditions of a
permit.
15-28 Appeals. Whenever a building permit is denied pursuant to '
this ordinance, the Board of Appeals and Adjustments shall, upon
appeal filed with it by the owner of the land, grant a permit for
building in an area designated on the official map for a street or
other public purpose in any .case in which the Board finds, upon
the evidence and the arguments presented to it, (a) that the
entire property of the appellant of which the area designated for
public purposes forms a part cannot yield a reasonable return to
the owner unless such a permit is granted, or (b) that balancing
the interest of the City in preserving the integrity of the
official map and of the comprehensive City plan and the interest
of the property owner in the use of his property and in the
benefits of ownership, the grant of such permit is required by
considerations of justice and equity. The Board of Appeals and
Adjustments shall hold a public hearing upon the appeal after
notice of the hearing has been published in the official newspaper
once at least ten (10) days before the hearing. If the Board
authorizes issuance of a permit, it shall specify the exact
location, ground area, height, and other details as to the extent
and character of the building for which the permit is granted. If
the Board authorizes issuance of a permit, the Council or other
Board or Commission having jurisdiction shall have six (6) months
from the date of the decision of the Board to institute
proceedings to acquire such land or interest therein, and if no
such proceedings are started within that time, the City shall
issue the permit if the application otherwise conforms to local
ordinances.
15-29 Publication and Filing. The City Clerk is hereby
authorized and directed to publish this ordinance in accordance
with law and to file a certified copy of this ordinance in the
office of the Carver County Recorder.
Section 2 . This ordinance shall become effective
immediately upon its passage and publication.

SUBJ: Adoption of Official Mapping Ordinance-First Reading
File No. PW210
Official maps are authorized by the Minnesota Municipal Planning
Act, Minnesota Statutes , Sections 462. 351 through 462. 36. The
primary purpose of the official map is to allow the City to pro-
tect specific transportation corridors for future use, thus hope-
fully avoiding prohibitive acquisition costs for these corridors
in the future when needed and also allowing individual property
owners to conduct land transactions without being hampered by the
City ' s inability to map a specific corridor for preservation.
The specific case in point is the recent Trunk Highway 101
realignment between proposed Trunk Highway 212 and Trunk Highway
5 which the Council indicated its preference for at the April 24 ,
1989 City Council meeting. Likewise, the City in the near future
should be receiving an updated Trunk Highway 212 layout for adop-
tion of an official map. Since City ordinances do not currently
address this process, the City Attorney has prepared the attached
ordinance amending Chapter 15 of the City Code relating to offi-
cial maps . City Council protocol suggests two readings of new
ordinances . In instances where time is of the essence, the
second reading can be waived at the Council ' s discretion.
It is therefore recommended that the attached amendment to
Chapter 15 of the City Code relating to official maps be appro
by the City Council and scheduled for a second reading on May ,
1989 .
