Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) is holding three breakfast meetings in
June to discuss its proposed 2001 budget. These June breakfast meetings will center on the 200 I
budget and proposed six-year Plan for Allocating Resources (PAR). The 2001 budget fulfills the
Council's commitment to municipal and industrial customers to reduce MCES costs and rates
through 2001 while maintaining high quality service delivery. .
How has this impacted the region and communities? And, \vhat are possible future impacts?
These and other questions will be addressed as we discuss MCES's continuing efforts to improve
system equity and leverage resources through grants and partnerships and provide updates on the
following topics:
· Creation of Regional Environment Partnership
· Current and planned capital projects
· New dispute resolution process for community flowslbills
· Customer research findings and plans to address findings
· Smart Growth efforts aligned across divisions of the Council
We would like you to consider the above topics and encourage you to submit any questions you
have regarding these and other issues in advance. All questions can be submitted by:
· faxing to the attention of Dale Ulrich at (651) 602-1477,
· e-mailingtodale.ulrich@metc.state.mn.us. or
· calling Dale at (651) 602-1020.
Receiving your input in advance allows us to research your questions if necessary and
incorporate them into our presentation.
This year we are offering a tour of the Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant inunediately
following the meeting at that site. It is an easy drive to this inviting rural location. However, if
you are unable to attend one of our three scheduled meetings and would like to have
representatives from MCES meet separately with you and your constituents, or would like a .

present land uses in 1990 and in 1997
and compares the changes during the
time frame.
As you review the data, please note
that the wetlands use compares the
wetland acreage that has changed
from non-urbanized land to another
category. Therefore, the city did not
lose wetlands. For example, a wetland
that was in a non-urbanized land total
may continue as a wetland in a residen-
tial area but it is not separately identi-
fied in that (residential) category.
Being aware of the confusion, the
Met Council will add a notation to the
web site.
If you have any comments regarding
the data e-mail the Met Council at:
aiscontact@metc.state.mn.us.
AMM and others discuss TIF with AG
Staff from AMM, the League of
Minnesota Cities (LMC) and the
Legislative Municipal Caucus met with
staff from the attorney general's (AG's)
office to discuss the AG's role in
enforcing TIF violations.
Ken Peterson of the AG's staff noted
that the office has not yet handled a
case, and may not have a case for at
least another year. Peterson, however,
indicated that AG as outlined in the
statute would attempt to use altemative
dispute resolution (ADR) methods
rather than petitioning the tax court. If
litigation is needed the AG would
pursue court action.
In reviewing the statute the AG's
office and the city groups agreed that
the enforcement provision may need
to be clarified regarding the type of
penaities resulting from the dispute
resolution process. While no specific
proposals were identified all partici-
pants agreed to further discuss
leglsiative and procedural Issues.
to
Council committees develop work plans
The Met Council's Housing and
Land Use Advisory Committee
began developing its work program
yesterday. The 24-membercommiltee
advises the Met Council on issues
regarding metropolitan land use and
comprehensive planning, regional
housing and matters of metropolitan
significance.
Members include elected officials,
as well as representatives of such
business sectors as development, law,
labor and housing. The work program
will focus on three major policy areas
- challenges in accommodating
growth, opportunities for aligning
regional investment and reassessing
regional housing policy and housing
development. At its July meeting, the
committee will discuss aligning regional
investment with emphasis on transporta-
tion investments and land use.
The Rural Issues Work Group,
chaired by Council member Marc
Hugunin, also began to develop its work
plan. Several Issues were grouped into
categories such as agricultural land
preservation, the future of rural growth
centers, aggregate resources and
surface water retention. The work group
will review the work plan and possibly
review the Aggregate Resources Study
at ils next meeting.

Dear Jim:
I want to pass along a special thanks for your involvement in repairing the tennis
court at the Recreation Center. The "sinking" court was a pain in my side for a
long time. With the school district unwilling or unable to participate financially
in a comprehensive repair project, I was running out of options. Your idea to
install the drain system provided an inexpensive interim solution. Please pass my
thanks on to anyone else that worked on this project.
Great work!
Sincerely.

I. FRANCHISING AUTHORITIES MAy RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR USE OF RIGHTS-OF-WAY
Franclùsing authorities received goods news on May 15, 2000 when the United States Court of Appeals for
the 4th Circuit confinned that ITanclùsing authorities may receive compensation, and not just cost-based
fees, for the use of rights-of-way! The court of appeals vacated and remanded the district court's decision
wlùch held that a telecommunications ordinance had violated Section 253 of the Telecommunications Act
of 1996. 10 this case, Bell Atlantic Marvland. loc. v. Prince George's County. Marvland, 2000 WL
620283 (4th Cir. May 15, 2000), the court of appeals held that the district court should never have reached
the federal law issues without first analyzing state law issues, Therefore, the case was remanded back to
district court for consideration of the state law issues. The district court's decision can be found at 49 F.
Supp, 2d 805 (D. Md 1999).
As stated, the case is significant because the district court held that the county was only entitled to
reasonable cost-based fees as opposed to compensation for the use of rights-of-way. The district court
decision has been widely cited by telecommunications providers across the country as authority to reject
any compensation for the use of rights-of-way as unreasonable. Furthennore, many state and federal :
regulators have relied on the Prince George district court decision to address similar issues before them. As
a result of the 4th Circnit's decision, there are no longer any federal district court opinions that support the
argument that compensation must be limited to cost-based fees as opposed to a franclùse fee or a per linear
foot charge. There have been several state court decisions that have addressed this issue and those should
be reviewed within your jurisdiction for further clarification.
Franclùsing authorities also obtained a favorable decision in TCG Detroit v, City of Dearborn, 206 F.3d
618 (6th Cir. 2000), where the 6th Circnit upheld a district court decision (16. F. Supp. 2d 785 (E.D. Mich.
1998» finding that a 4% rranchise fee was pennissible under Section 253. The Dearborn decision supports
the argument that cities are not limited to recovering only their "costs" but rather may impose reasonable
"rent" or compensation for the use of rights-of-way. Furthennore, the Dearborn decision helps to clarify
the requirement in Section 253 mandating "non-discriminatory" treatment. 10 this case Ameritech operated
under 100 year old authorization that predated state rranclùsing. TCG, a competitive access provider,
argued that a 4% franclùse fee was discriminatory because such fee was not also imposed upon AmeritW¥. BA¡'1r

A PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION
The 6th Circuit held that TCG did not have to be charged the same fee as Arneritech and therefore upheld
the imposition of the 4% franchise fee.
II. FCC's REpORT ON COMPETITION
On January 14, 2000, the FCC released its 6th Annual Report on Competition and Video Markets, The
report contains many interesting statistics regarding the cable television and telecommunication industry
whicb may perhaps explain some of the emerging trends occurring in the year 2000, Below, we have
outlined several of the more interesting statistics for your review.
Multichannel Video Programming Distributor ("MVPD') subscribers (i.e. cable, DBS, MMDS, SMA TV,
etc.) were up 5.5% in 1999 to a total of81 million subscribers. Of that total, 66,7 million were cable
television subscribers, which represented a 2 % increase rrom 1998. Direct broadcast satellite had 10
million subscribers in 1999 or 12.5% of all MVPD subscribers, The seven largest cable television
operators now control 90% of the cable television subscribers in the United States. In addition, over 40
million subscribers are now served by regional clusters.
There were 245 satellite delivered programming channels available in 1998 which increased to 283
channels available in 1999. 1ñis represents a 16% increase in satellite delivered programming. Despite
this fact, the four major networks still control a 52% share of the viewing audience. The top six cable
television operators own all or a part of 101 progranuning services. Of the 75 regional programming
networks, 26 are sports channels and 30 are news channels. With respect to home computer use, the FCC
estimates there are 50 million computer homes in 1999 and over 100 million Internet users. The increase in
demand for high-speed Internet access is encouraging new start-up companies to consider overbuilding
cable operators, and several industry trade groups have estimated that the demand for residential high-
speed Internet services will increase nearly five-fold by 2004. In the year 2000, it is estimated that nearly
3.3 million subscribers will take advantage of cable television high-speed modems, 1ñis number is
anticipated to increase to 16,6 million subscribers by the year 2004,
The FCC concluded that the total revenue from all MVPD's as well as local telephone and long distance
telephone was $334 billion. Of this total, cable television fees amounted to 12,3% of that total or
approximately $40 billion. Cable television rates increased 3,8% in 1999 while the CP1 during that same
period was 2%, However, the FCC estimates that cable operators increased the capital spent on system
upgrades by 13%, license fees increased 14.6%, and programming costs increased by 16.3%, The labor "
costs for the cable and telecom industry also increased an additional 2% over all other industries.
The main emphasis of the FCC's report was on the presence of competition throughout the United States,
and the report found that competition is slowly emerging, Arneritech now has 111 franchises serving
250,000 subscribers. Bell South has 21 franchises and passes approximately 1.4 million homes, GTE,
SNET, and USWest also are providing cable television services. Open Video Systems (OVS) have not
been as wide spread with ouly 13 certified providers in 28 areas. While the FCC's report on competition
demonstrates that subscribers in certain areas are now afforded a choice of cable television operators, it is
apparent that the total number of cable operators in the country is shrinking with the largest operators such
as Time Warner, AT&T, and Charter acquiring a larger percentage of the total subscriber base.

III. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS LOSE THEIR LAST HOPE OF CONTROLLING THE SITING OF
COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES BASED ON RADIO FREQUENcY
Two recent court decisions further restrict local governments from regulating conununications facilities
based on radio frequency. In the first, Cellular Phone Taskforce v. FCC. No. 97-4328(L) (2nd Cir. Feb,
18, 2000), the court held that federal law preempts a local government rrom regulating not only the
placement, construction, or modification of a personal wireless service facility based on radio rrequency
emissions, but also the operation of it. In the second, Freeman v. BurliDlrton Broadcasters. Inc.. No, 97-
9141 (2nd Cir. Feb, 23,2000), the court held that federal law preempts a local zoning board rrom
conditioning a pennit to construct and use a conununications tower on a requirement to eliminate radio
rrequency interference with appliances and devices in nearby homes.
With the Teleconununications Act of 1996 ("Act"), local governments have limited regulatory authority
over the health and environmental effects rrom radio rrequency emissions, See 47 V.S.C. Section
332(c)(7)(B)(iv). The Cellnlar Phone decision e,,:pands such limitations beyond the plain language of the
Act. The Freeman decision states that the entire field of radio rrequency interference regulation is
preempted by federal law because federal law is so pervasive, Taken together, these cases suggest that
local governments should be wary to regulate conunuuications facilities based on the environmental or
health effects of radio frequency or any interference resulting thererrom, A closer analysis of each decision
follows.
Cellular Phone Taskforce v, FCC
In this case, the petitioners appealed two final opinions and orders in which the FCC adopted guidelines for
human exposure to radio frequency radiation from FCC-regulated transmitters and facilities. Of the many
claims raised by the petitioners, the one of most significant impact to local governments centers on the
interpretation of 47 V.S, C. Section 33 2( c )(7)(B)(iv) of the T eleconununications Act of 1996. The pertinent
language states in part:
No State or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and
modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio
frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the Commission's [FCC's] regulations
concerning such emissions.
On its face, the statute clearly prohibits a state or local government rrom regulating the "placement,
construction, and modification" of conununications facilities based on radio frequency emissions, What
was at issue in this case, though, was not the placement, construction, or modification of such facilities, but
the operations of them. The petitioners argued that the absence of the word "operations" rrom the statute
preserves the rights oflocal governments to regulate the radio rrequency emissions produced by the
operations of conununications facilities, Despite the legislative history supporting the petitioners'
argument, the court disagreed, reasoning that deference is afforded to an agency's interpretation of a statute
which the agency is charged with administering, a well-settled principle of administrative law,

In this case, homeowners adjacent to a conununications tower sought enforcement of a local permit
condition that required the conununications company to remedy any radio rrequency interference rrom
tower signals with appliances and devices in neighboring homes. The local zoning board found that federal
law preempted enforcement of the permit condition, Believing the conununications company to be sluggish

in responding to complaints, the homeowners removed the case to federal district court and argued that
there was state or local jurisdiction over claims of fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation. The district court
dismissed the case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
On appeal, the circuit court concluded that federal law preempts the field of radio rrequency interference
because its regulations are so pervasive. The court, however, did note that homeowners such as the
appellants are not without a remedy. Federal regulations impose a continuing duty on communications
companies to provide technical assistance to residents within the blanketing interference area to resolve
radio frequency interference problems. Within the first year of operation, the transmitting station must
satisfy all complaints of blanketing interference with most common devices at no cost to the complainant.
Landowners may also file an infonnal request for action with the FCC, and they may ask the FCC to deny
renewal of the license on the grounds that the interference is so severe that it violates the public interest.

A few months ago I told the council that I would be applying to the Metropolitan
Council for funding under the LCA. The project that would most likely meet the
criteria of the grant was Pulte development at the corner of Highways 5 and 41. I
felt this was the only project that was worth submittin} based on the evaluation
criteria. The deadline for the application was June 2" , Because Pulte
development has not made a new submittal for the PUD, staff was unable to
submit an application.

Re: Heritage National Bank vs. Chan Ventures. LLC. et al.
Court File No. C9-00643
Dear Mr. Botcher:
This letter serves as an update on the mortgage foreclosure action referenced above and
venued in Carver County District Court. As discussed in my letter of May 2, 2000, Heritage
National Bank has a fIrst mortga1\e on the Chanhassen Bowl property in the amount of
$500,000 and the Economic Development Authority in and for the City of Chanhassen
("Chanhassen EDA") has a second mortgage on the Chanhassen Bowl property ("Property").
Chan Ventures, LLC, has defaulted on both loans. On behalf of the Chanhassen EDA, we
recently served and filed an Answer, Counter-Claim and Cross-Claim, a copy of which is
enclosed for your review. The purpose of the foregoing Answer, Counter-Claim and Cross- j'
Claim was to assert that the Chanhassen EDA's mortgage is prior to and superior to any and
all other rights or claims to the Property, other than that of Heritage National Bank.
On behalf of the Chanhassen EDA, we intend to immediately commence a mortgage
foreclosure by advertisement. It should take place in approximately two months rrom the
commencement to the time of sheriff's sale of the Property. After the sheriff's sale, there will
be a six month period of redemption for Chan Ventures, LLC, Le. pay Chanhassen EDA the
amount owing. If Chan Ventures, LLC fails to redeem, and no other party, Le. lien holders,
etc., redeems rrom the Chanhassen EDA foreclosure sale, the Chanhassen EDA will become
the owner of the Property, subject only to the mortgage in favor of Heritage National Bank,
and all unpaid real estate taxes.

It if appears that the Chanhassen EDA may become the owner of the Property as a
result of the foreclosure, I advise the EDA to consider having a Phase I environmental report
prepared to determine if there is any environmental contamination. However, a Phase I report
will not be ordered without the EDA's consent.
If you have any questions, please contact either Matthew J. Foli or myself.
Very truly yours,

FAILURE TO RECORD OR FILE THIS MORTGAGE
MAY AFFECT THE PRIORITY OF THIS MORTGAGE,
SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE
AND ATIORNMENT AGREEMENT
TIllS AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of theðy of A''1?s4!8'f.1997, by and
among Cbanhassen Bowl, Inc. ("Tenant"), wh se address is
58} IN '!ð'.ør H ¿JMlhtLSS¡I!'¡, Minnesota I??;U?, Chan Ventures, LLC
("Mortgagor"), whose address is 581 - 78th Street, Ch.nh"sen, Minnesota 55317, and the
Economic Development Authority in and for the City of Ch.nh..sen ("Mortgagee"), whose
address is Ch.nha.sen, Minnesota
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT OF FACTS
A. - Mortgagee is making a loan to Mortgagor ("Loan ") repayment of which is to be secured
by a Mortgage, Security Agreement, Fixture Financing Statement and Assignment of
Leases and Rents ("Mortgage") on the real estate (the "Premises") more fully described
in Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
B. Tenant is the present lessee under a lease dated , demising the
Premises (said lease and all amendments thereto being referred to as the "Lease").
C. As a condition precedent to Mortgagee's disbursement of Loan proceeds, Mortgagee has
required that Tenant subordinate the Lease and Tenant's interest in the Premises in all
respects to the lien of the Mortgage. .
D. In return, Mortgagee is agreeable to not disturbing Tenant's possession of the Premises.
E. Mortgagee is disbursing the Loan proceeds in reliance upon the agreements contained in
this instrument and but for said agreements would not disburse the Loan.
NOW, THEREFORE, in. consideration of the sum of $1.00 and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged it is hereby agreed
as follows: "
1. SUBORDINATION. The Lease, and the rights of Tenant in, to or under the Lease and
the Premises, including the rights to any condemnation awards payable from a taking by
a condemnation of the Premises (other than those awarded Tenant for Tenant's loss of
business, relocation expenses and trade f1xtures, if awarded to Tenant separately and
which do not reduce the award payable for the taking of the Premises), are hereby
subjected and subordinated and shall remain in all respects and for all purposes subject,
subordinate and junior to the Mortgage, and to the rights and interests of from time to
time any holder of the Mortgage.
1
EXHIBIT
I
c
2. PURCHASE OPTIONS. Any options or rights contained in said Lease to acquire title
to the Premises, including any rights of first refusal, are hereby made subject and
subordinate to the rights of Mortgagee under the Mortgage and any acquisition of title
to the Premises made by Tenant during the term of the Mortgage shall be made
subordinate and subject to the Mortgage.
3. TENANT NOT TO BE DISTURBED. Provided Tenant is not then in default (beyond
any period given Tenant to cure such default) in the payment of rent to be paid under the
Lease or in the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease
on Tenant's part to be performed, Tenant's use, enjoyment and possession of the
Premises under the Lease and any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected
in accordance with any renewal rights therefor in the Lease, shall not be diminished or
interfered with or terminated by reason of foreclosure, deed in lieu or other account by
. Mortgagee, and Tenant's occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Mortgagee
during the term of the Lease or any such extensions or renewals thereof.
4. TENANT NOT TO BE JOINED IN FORECLOSURE UNLESS REQUIRED BY
LAW. So long as Tenant is not in default (beyond any period given Tenant to cure such
default) in the payment of rent to be paid under the Lease or in the performance of any
of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant's part to be performed,
Mortgagee will not name or join Tenant in any action or proceeding fQreclosing the
Mortgage unless such naming or joinder is necessary to foreclose the Mortgage and then
only for such purpose and not for the purpose of terminating the Lease.
5. TENANT TO ATTORN TO MORTGAGEE. If the interests of Mortgagor shall be
transferred to and owned by Mortgagee by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings
brought by Mortgagee in lieu of or pursuant to a foreclosure, or by any other manner,
and Mortgagee succeeds to the interest of Mortgagor under the Lease, Tenant shall be
bound to Mortgagee under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the
balance of the term thereof remaining, with the same force and effect as if Mortgagee
were the landlord under the Lease, and Tenant does hereby attorn to Mortgagee as
Tenant's landlord, said attornment to be effective and self-operative immediately upon
Mortgagee succeeding to the interest of Mortgagor under the Lease without the executi~
of any further instruments on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however,
that Tenant shall be under no obligation to pay rent to Mortgagee until Tenant receives
written notice from Mortgagee that Mortgagee has succeeded to the interest of Mortgagor
under the Lease. The respective rights and obligations of Tenant and Mortgagee upon
such attornment, to the extent of the then remaining balance of the term of the Lease
shall be and are the same as now set forth therein; it being the intention of the parties
hereto for this purpose to incorporate the Lease in this Agreement by reference with the
same force and effect as if set forth at length herein.
6. MORTGAGEE NOT BOUND BY CERTAIN ACTS OF MORTGAGOR. If
Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Mortgagor under the Lease, Mortgagee shall
2
not be liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Mortgagor); nor
subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord
(including Mortgagor); nor bound by any rent which Tenant might have prepaid in excess
of 60 days; nor for more than the then current installment; nor bound by any amendment
or modification of the Lease made without Mortgagee's consent. In the event of a
default by Mortgagor under the Lease or an occurrence that would give rise to an offset
against rent or claim against Mortgagor under the Lease, Tenant will use Tenant's best
effórts to set off such defaults against rents currently due Mortgagor and will give
Mortgagee notice of such defaults or occurrence at the address of Mortgagee as set forth
above and will give Mortgagee such time as is reasonably required to cure such default
or rectify such occurrence. Tenant agrees that notwithstanding any provision of the .
Lease to the contrary, Tenant will not be entitled to cancel the Lease, or to abate or
offset against the rent, or to exercise any other right or remedy until Mortgagee has been
. given reasonable notice of default and reasonable opportunity to cure such default. In
the event Tenant has paid a security deposit to Mortgagor under the Lease, Mortgagee
shall not have any liability to Tenant unless the same has actually been paid over to
Mortgagee and Mortgagee holds the same.
7. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE. Mortgagor will by a separate Assignment of Rents and
Leases ("Assignment") assign Mortgagor's interest in the rents and payments due under
the Lease to Mortgagee as security for repayment of the Loan. If in the future there is
a default by Mortgagor in the performance and observance of the terms of the Mortgage,
Mortgagee may, at Mortgagee's option under the Assignment, require that all rents and
. other payments due under the Lease be paid directly to Mortgagee. Upon notification
to that effect by Mortgagee, Mortgagor hereby authorizes and directs Tenant and Tenant
agrees to pay the rent and any payments due under the terms of the Lease to Mortgagee.
The Assignment does not diminish any obligations of Mortgagor under the Lease nor
impose any such obligations on Mortgagee.
\,
8. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement and each and every covenant,
agreement and other provisions hereof shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their
successors and assigns, including without limitation each and every from time to time
holder of the Lease or any other person having an interest therein and shall inure to th\'
benefit of Mortgagee and Mortgagee's successors and assigns. As used herein, the words
"successors and assigns" shall include the heirs, administrators and representatives of any
natural person who is a party to this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing
herein shall be deemed to allow assignment or subletting by Tenant without the prior
written consent of Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
9. PREPAYMENT OF RENT. Tenant agrees that it will not prepay rent under the lease
for more than one (1) month.
10. NO CANCELLATION. The Lease shall not be terminated, canceled or modified·
without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.
3
11. CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement is made and executed under and in all respects is
to be governed and construed by the laws of the State of Minnesota.
12. CAYl'IONS AND HEADINGS. The captions and headings of the various sections of
this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be construed as confining or
limiting in any way the scope or intent of the provisions hereof. Whenever the context
requires or permits, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the
singular and the masculine, feminine and neuter shall be rree1y interchangeable.
13. NOTICES. Any notices and other communications permitted or required by the
provisions of this Agreement (except for telephonic notices expressly permitted) shall be
in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served by depositing the
same with the United States Postal Service, or any official successor thereto, designated
. as Registered or Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, bearing adequate postage, or
delivery by reputable private carrier such as Federal Express, Airborne, DHL or similar
overnight delivery service, and addressed as hereinafter provided. Each such notice shall
be effective upon being deposited as aforesaid. The time period within which a response
to any such notice must be given, however, shall commence to run from the date of
receipt of the notice by the addressee thereof. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the
inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be
deemed to be receipt of the notice sent. By giving to the other party hereto at least ten
(10) days' notice thereof, either party hereto shall have the right rrom time to time and
at any time during the term of this Agreement to change that party's address and shall
have the right to specify as that party's address any other address within the United
States of America. Each notice shall be addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth
above.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have each caused this Agreement to be executed
as of the date fIrst above written.

Fr. Steve Ulrich, Pastor
St. Hubert Catholic Community
8201 Main Street
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Fr. Steve:
As you recall, Fr. Larry and you met with Todd Gerhardt and I nearly a year
ago, and then again about six months ago, regarding the disposition of the
original St. Hubert's Church. At that time, you indicated you needed to speak
with your Parish Council and/or some elders within your congregation. As I
have heard nothing from you or Fr. Larry about this facility, I am writing today
to try to move this process along.
As Todd and 1 indicated in the meetings, I believe the City's position to be fairly
clear. If the City is going to continue with its obligation of maintenance and
upkeep on the property, the City desires to own the property and wishes St.
Hubert Catholic Church, iffor no other reason than in the spirit of preservation,
to sell the church building to the City for $1. The building will continue to need
substantial capital investment to maintain it and I do not believe the City has an
interest in paying much for a building that will require additional dollars to
simply keep it whole. If the church does not desire to sell the building to the
City for $1, the City will consider, consistent with the terms of the lease, a return
of the church and all its obligations to your parish. Our present position is
untenable and not one in which we wish to maintain over the long term.
Again, 1 would appreciate a response pursuant to our previous discussions and to ·
this letter.

Re: Crestview Circle
City Improvement Project No. 00-05
WSB Project No. 1240-001
Dear Mr. Botcher:
I would like to take this time to express my apologies for arriving late at the City Council meeting last night
for the presentation on the Feasibility Study for Crestview Circle. This was clearly not intentional.
I feel some explanation is warranted, I had a family emergency come up that I had to resolve that resulted
me in being about 15 minutes late to your Council meeting. When I realized that I was going to be late, I was
hoping that the preliminary City Council business would delay the Public Hearing on Crestview Circle
enough for me to still arrive in time to make the presentation. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
Once again, please accept my sincere apologies and this is certainly not the way WSB & Associates conducts
business. It was an unfortunate incident and I ask for your understanding in this matter.
Please pass my regrets and apologies on to your City Council members. If you wish to discuss this matter
further, please don't hesitate to contact me at (763) 277-5795. Thank you,
Sincerely,
.

Fire Department Compensation Analysis
What follows is a sheet summarizing the total aggregate compensation by
jurisdiction (after years of service) as compiled by DCA in cooperation with the
Chanhassen Fire Department and City staff. If you recall, both the City and Fire
Relief Association commissioned an analysis of compensation in order to get a
better feel for where we stood in comparison to our neighbors.
I will not recite to you what is on this spreadsheet; however, in summary,
Chanhassen generally ranks third out of nine cities in terms of total aggregate
compensation provided to its firefighters. Frankly, this about where I thought
we would fall once we included the dollar per hour call per volunteer identified
as the deferred compensation plan (other analyses have not included all
compensation provided to the firefighters).
I provide this to you for your review and utilization during the budget process
should you desire to consider an increase in benefits.

Association of
Metropolitan
Municipalities
Council unveils 'Smart Growth-Twin Cities'
Metropolitan Council Chair Ted
Mondale unveiled a new
Council effort this week: "Smart
Growth-Twin Cities." This effort is a
community-based approach to
implementing the Regional Blue-
print and comprehensive plans. The
planning effort, which will be funded
in part with a $250,000 grant from
the McKnight Foundation, will
consist of the following three
components:
· Establishing baseline data to
determine how local comprehensive
plans are achieving Blueprint goals
and discuss the findings.
· Define sub-regions and exam-
ine how to better integrate land use
with existing and planned transpor-
tation investments.
· Identify four opportunity sites of
20-100 acres to demonstrate
development that is walkable and
mixed use.
The Met Council staff will prima-
rily be responsible for the first
component which Is scheduled to
begin in July and be completed by
June 2001. The sub-regional
studies will be completed by staff
and consultants.
Calthorpe and Associates will be
retained by the Met Council to
assist in the sub-regional planning.
The planning will include work-
shops to help develop a land use
strategy around current and
planned improvements. The
opportunity site analysis will be
lead by the Calthorpe firm and will
include market studies, public
infrastructure assessment and
master plan development, Including
visual presentations and design
standards.
The Met Council anticipates that
the process will Identify new devel-
opment strategies and possible
Blueprint modifications. The revi-
sions would be made In a limely
manner, so they cou Id be incorpo-
rated in the next submission of
comprehensive plans due In 2008.
The Met Council is scheduled to
review the proposed budget and
work program at its June 21 meet-
ing. Within the next few weeks the
Met Council will Inform cities by
letter of the program including the
guidelines and deadlines for the
opportunity site component. An Aug.
15 deadline was discussed.
If you have any queslions or need
addllional information please contact
Bob Mazanec (651-602-1330) at the
Met Council.

proceeds and user charges. The
plan also proposes to study the
feasibility of using a portion of the
Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) to
pay the reserve capacity portion of
capital costs.
The use of the SAC to decrease
debt would as proposed by Met
Council staff:
· Reduce debl and debt service.
· Be favorably reviewed by the
rating agencies.
· Increase the percentage of
debt at low rates.
The staff also indicated thai the
proposal has certain disadvan-
tages including:
· Decreased investment.
· Decreased options for future
use of funds.
· Administrative complexity.
· Possible Increase in the SAC
rate in the near term followed by
lower rates.
The use of SAC would require
approximately $39.0 million In SAC
reserve balance over six years. The
committee took no action and will
continue working on the finance
plan.

Dear MR GERHARDT:
The Metropolitan Council research staff has prepared a preliminary population and household
estimate as of April 1, 1999 for your community. Enclosed for your review is a 1998 worksheet
which includes 1990 Census background data.
The estimates are used by the Council to monitor population and household change throughout
the region. We strive to provide accurate estimates that treat municipalities consistently.
Questions concerning how the estimates are determined should be directed to me at (612) 602-
1332 or bye-mail atkathv.iohnson(Õ)metc.state.mn.us.
No reply from you is necessary. If you have comments regarding the estimates please submit
them to me in writing. This will ensure that issues are addressed in a timely manner.
The Department of Revenue requests finalized estimates from us by late June for use in their
local aid and other formulas. To comply, we need to hear from you by June 21, 2000. Thank
you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Kate:
Although expected, your letter of June 7, 2000, is nonetheless disturbing. Lundgren
Bros. has always prided itself on being a little more conscientious than its
competitor developer-builders. While I admit that we are aggressive in selling, I
do not believe that the situation which occurred on the 6th Addition lot to which
you refer is typical. The buyers desperately wanted that lot and that plan, and the
fact that it seemed attainable clouded the judgement of some of our people. I
expect that that incident will not be repeated, although we still have challenging
lots to deal with. We have been reviewing the remaining lots to see howwe can
best utilize them to minimize lot coverage conflicts.
A couple of things, Kate, that you might consider: You remember, I am sure, that
the design of Springfield was approved in 1993, but development of the project
awaited sewer and water rrom the Lyman Boulevard improvement project. In the
interim, home buyers came to better appreciate Chanhassen as a residential
community and houses became larger and more expensive. Would we be
discussing these lot coverage issues if the Springfield project had conunenced in
1994 or 1995?
Consider also this: When Lundgren Bros. proposed the PUD, its preliminary plat
was designed with a street right-of-way width of 50 feet. Public Works or '
,
Engineering resisted this proposal, but, if my memory serves, the City C;otmciJ left
it on the table as an open issue. Ultimately, the preliminary condition was re-
worded to require 60-foot wide right-of-way. How severe would our lot coverage
issue be today if every lot in the PUD had had an additional 450 square feet?
Very Truly Yours,
LUNDGREN BROS. CONSTRUCTION, INC.

Mr. Michael Ryan
2595 Southern Court
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Mr. Ryan:
Thank you for your letter received May 24, 2000. I am pleased to have this
opportunity to discuss a number of the issues you raise in your letter.
You asked how I plan to represent Chanhassen's interests with my membership
on the Metropolitan Mayors Regional Housing Task Force sponsored by the
Metropolitan Council. As I do in other situations where I represent the City of
Chanhassen, I will represent the City by being at the meetings and speaking out
in what I believe to be in the best interests of the City of Chanhassen. -
Participation with and on committees and organizations such as this is a primary
way of ensuring that the positions of our community are heard and implemented,
I am fully aware that my responsibilities are to represent the best interests of
Chanhassen. As you are aware, the task force has had a single introductory
meeting pertaining to the mission statement of the group and review of the draft
work plan. In addition, we were addressed by Governor Jesse Ventura,
Metropolitan Council Chair Ted Mondale, and Katherine Hadley, the
Commissioner of the Minnesota Housing Financing Agency. As you may
recall, earlier this year, Ms. Hadley gave a public presentation at the Chanhassen
Recreation Center entitled, "Affordable Housing in the Metropolitan Area: The
Problem, The Programs, The Strategies." You asked me to state my position .
.
and objectives with this Task Force, and you asked what potential impact it may ~
have on our City. At the current time, I cannot take a position because I do not
know what Metropolitan Council staff members may propose to the group for
our consideration. Additionally, it is impossible for me to estimate what
potential impact "this" may have on our City. I am participating strictly and
solely with the single-mindedness of representing the City of Chanhassen and
Chanhassen's interests. Without participation from the City of Chanhassen,
there is a risk that this organization, which is in a position to make legislative
recommendations for 2001, may do so without hearing the voice of the City of
Chanhassen.
Focusing on broader policy issues, the City Council has endorsed and signed on
to the Livable Communities Act. As Mayor, I support the creation of life cycle
housing throughout our community. We, as a community, have given much
Mr. Michael Ryan
June 20, 2000
Page 2
thought and discussion on this topic and have stated our commitment to lifecycle
housing in our City's Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 2, Housing). This does not
mean that the creation oflifecycle housing stands above all else, as analysis,
economics, land use issues, et ai, are all critical to Chanhassen. However, I do
agree with the community's stated position that lifecycle housing is important
and our community can benefit.
I disagree with your statement that, "The task force appears to short circuit 'this
process' and goes over the head of your fellow Council members and citizens of
Chanhassen." Quite to the contrary, I am not seated on this body speaking for
myself. 1 am speaking for the City of Chanhassen. I am its duly elected Mayor
and am able to represent positions of the community and of the City Council on
a wide range of issues that mayor may not be mine.
You appear to have some fundamental concerns about the existence of the
Metropolitan Council in general; that as an un-elected, appointed body
controlling a large amount of tax dollars, you feel you have little or no input in
the initiatives undertaken by the Metropolitan Council. You are certainly
entitled to that opinion, and a number of citizens probably would agree with
you. However, the argument as it relates to the basic tenor of the Metropolitan
Council is not with the City ofChanhassen, the City Council, or even with me as
the Mayor. Your concerns about authority of the Metropolitan Council, and the
influence it may ha\<c, is with the State Legislature. The Metropolitan Council
is a creature of the State Legislature and has remained so since its creation. You
may want to discuss your concerns with our two state representatives: Senator
Ed Oliver (Home: 952-474-1399 or State Office: 651-296-4837) or
Representative Tom Workman (Home: 952-934-0343 or State Office:
651-296-5066). Beyond that, if you are dissatisfied with the direction of the
Metropolitan Council but believe in its basic existence, then your concern would
be better directed toward the Governor who, by law, appoints the membership of
the Metropolitan Council.
.
.
.
Finally, the Metropolitan Council would still need to successfully secure
legislation for any position that it takes, and in having to do so, allows for the
full and public discussion of its proposed initiatives during a legislative session
in St. Paul. Whatever initiatives the Metropolitan Council may wish to bring
forth would be fully scrutinized and discussed by individuals on all sides of any
particular issue. You can avail yourself of the opportunity to participate in these
legislative discussions or correspondence with our state elected officials. You
may also elect to contact Jules Smith (Home, Chaska: 952-443-2430) who is a
Mr. Michael Ryan
June 20, 2000
Page 3
member of the Metropolitan Council and represents District 4 (Lakeville, Eden
Prairie, Carver County, and most of Scott County).
During my tenure on this task force, 1 will do my best to continue to report back
to the Council on the activities of the task force. There certainly is a possibility
that the task force may assume positions contrary to those of the City of
Chanhassen. It is also possible the task force may take positions contrary to
positions of other cities involved, but consistent with the positions of the City of
Chanhassen. The workings of regionalism, which is what we in the State of
Minnesota, and the Twin Cities in particular, have undertaken and have largely
been successful with over the last 30 years, necessitates this be the case. All of
us who serve in local government understand that we mayor may not always
"get our way," but we can do our best to represent what we believe the interests
are of our constituents. Only through participation is this possible. This is what
I intend to do.
Sincerely,
êM<--UCj'k. } I (C0U~

HIGHWAY 101 IMP ACT ON MARKET VALVES
RE:
The first group of appeal for the Board of Review are for properties with
abut Highway 101 and are being appealed do to the perceived market value
impact of the pending highway project. .
I have identified 4 properties which have sold in, the past 2 years that abut
101 and compared them with similar sold properties that were sited on lots
not abutting 101. After adjusting for differences and times of sale, a
percentage factor was extracted which represents the impact of their

meeting and hopefully come to an agreement on an equitable adjustment to
market values for the appealed properties.
