Re: Cooperative Funding Agreement, Realignment of State Highway
101, Hennepin County/City of Chanhassen/MnDOT
1 Dear Commissioner Keefe:
1 During the past two years Hennepin County has been successful in
reaching jurisdictional agreement with MnDOT regarding Highway
101 as such traverses the westerly portion of Hennepin County and
1 the affected cities. We are seeking your support in helping to
realign Highway 101 to better serve Chanhassen/Hennepin County/
state highway users and to eliminate the severe traffic problem
that Highway 101 creates by being routed through downtown
1 Chanhassen.
Over 50% of the traffic on Highway 101 as it leaves Hennepin
1 County and enters into Chanhassen are Hennepin County residents
( see attached vehicle survey, BRW, October , 1988 ) . This traffic
is either being unnecessarily delayed by being diverted through
II our downtown; or are being directed towards an intersection
which is the most dangerous intersection within our community
( see attached traffic report) .
1 Concern over traffic conditions at the Dakota Avenue/West 78th
Street/Highway 5/Highway 101 intersection has existed for many
years . Each year 's increase in traffic has continued to compound
I the problem. We initially recognized that any potential request for
cooperative funding would be difficult unless the roadway itself
was within Hennepin County. Numerous studies have been completed -
all of which attempting to maintain Highway 101 as a split county
1 roadway. The northerly portion of Highway 101 exists with one-
half of such being within Hennepin County and the other half in
Carver County. Unfortunately, this alignment would not work in
I the area north of Highway 5 given the severe hill to the north of
the railroad tracks and a wetland area to the south. Geometrical
problems for reconnecting the north 78th Street frontage road,
IIWest 78th Street, Highway L01, and moving Dakota Avenue were also
April 5 , 1989 1
Page 2
hurdles which could not be overcome. The final alignment has ,
Highway 101 in both Hennepin and Carver County until it starts to
approach Highway 5 where, by necessity, such swerves to the west
with its final touchdown at Highway 5 being approximately 2
blocks to the west of the Hennepin County line.
As noted in the title of this letter, realignment of Highway
101 is proposed to be cooperatively funded by the City of
Chanhassen, Hennepin County, and MnDOT. The project has a total
cost of $6 million. The joint funding would be proposed as joint
funding by Carver County/City of Chanhassen in the form of tax
increment and special assessments on the westerly leg of the
realigned roadway in a total amount of approximately $2.5
million. That section of Highway 101 which would have the
designation of both Highway 5 and 101, would be paid solely
by MnDOT, i .e. approximately $1 million. The easterly leg of
realigned Highway 101 is anticipated to cost $2 . 5 million. It
would be this section of Highway 101 for which the City would
seek your endorsement of designating Economic Development District
dollars to pay for. Specifically, the City would be seeking your
support and the State Legislature' s support to extend the term of
that district for a three year period of time with all tax increment
received being directed solely to paying costs of realigning
Highway 101 on the easterly edge of Chanhassen. Again, if the
district were to be extended for a three year period of time, the
City would seek legislation which would designate the tax incre-
ment dollars solely for realignment of Highway 101 adjacent to
the Hennepin County border.
In addition to the r asons noted above, Hennepin County has one
additional reason for wanting to see this project occur - future
taxes. Specifically, the City of Chanhassen has done a fairly
good job in promoting businesses into the two business parks
lying north and south of Highway 5 - all of which lie within
Hennepin County. The market value of new construction in that
area currently exceeds $15 million. However, there is sufficient
land area, sewer and water capacity, etc. , to accommodate an
additional $33 million in new structures. If all of this is
true, then why should Hennepin County care if realigned Highway
101 occurred or not? The answer is simple - you cannot effec-
tively get to the business parks with the current road con- 1
figurations ( see attached Exhibit) . The businesses which have
located in the parks have chosen sites generally where best
access can be achieved and have existed in hopes that reasonable
access would be offered at some future date. As you are aware,
State Highway 101 exists as a temporary state roadway. As such ,
MnDOT is prohibited from spending any state funds on Highway 101 .
However, if Highway 5 is improved as scheduled for 1990 and such
does not include realigning Highway 101, such realignment will
never occur. That fact should also be of concern to Hennepin
County Commissioners as not only will new businesses be blocked
April 5 , 1989
11 Page 3
' from building, it could very easily become a question of how to
keep some of our existing businesses.
' Chanhassen has helped create approximately $100, 000/year in new
taxes within Hennepin County which is not within our tax incre-
ment district. Approximately $600, 000/year in taxes exist within
the district. Approximately one-third of the $600, 000 goes to
' fiscal disparities which means that approximately $100, 000/year
will be available to Hennepin County in 1990. It is that
$100, 000 which the City is seeking you to forego for a three year
period of time to insure that the realignment of Highway 101 can
occur.
I am attempting to have either our City Manager Don Ashworth or
myself meet with each Hennepin County Commissioner in advance of
the board meeting currently scheduled for April 13, 1989. This
letter is being sent as a resource for you in advance of our
meeting. It is also being sent in hopes that it may generate
questions from you which we have inadvertently not included in
our presentation. Having your thoughts and ideas in advance of
April 13 will assuredly make both of our tasks easier on the
13th.
Thank you again for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Chmiel

SUBJ: First Aid Training
IIOn February 22 and 23, 1989, we held a medic first-aid training
class at City Hall for City employees. The training was con-
1 ducted by Waconia Hospital' s Business Health Institute and
involved 14 City employees mainly from the Public Works
Department. The comments from the class evaluation filled out by
the 14 employees at the end of the course were complimentary,
r either in the very good or excellent category for instruction and
course material .
1 The City of Eden Prairie recently demonstrated the need to have
City employees familiar with first-aid. The Eden Prairie
Building Official was flagged down on the road last week by a
II motorist who indicated there was a problem with the passenger in
the car. The passenger happened to be suffering a heart attack
and the Eden Prairie Building Official promptly administered CPR
to the afflicted party. It is not known whether the party sur-
1 vived, however, it certainly demonstrated the need to have public
employees familiar with first aid training.
I With the comments received by the 14 individuals participating in
the first aid training, I feel confident that when needed they
will respond with the required skills to adequately administer
first-aid.

I LEGISLATIVE ALERT
Finally the 1989 Minnesota Legislature appears to be getting down
to business .
Bills addressing transportation issues are taking shape and an
important funding bill, S. F. 852 , passed through the Senate Transpor-
tation Committee on March 14th. This bill includes approximately
II $120 million in additional funding for transportation - including
additional MVET transfer, license fee adjustment, bridge bonding,
township road distribution and gas tax indexing.
I The Legislature will break for the Easter weekend and legislators
be going home to "test the waters" on a number of issues during
that period.
IIT IS VERY IMPORTANT that legislators hear from you. . . . emphasize
how vital transportation funding is to their districts. Members of
Minnesota Good Roads should contact their legislators and visit with
II them during this recess to explain the needs in your area. A breakfast
or luncheon meeting is ideal, a telephone call is effective, but make
that appointment NOW so you can get together to discuss the need for
Ia funding bill to be passed in this first year of the biennium.
Contact us if you need to know how to reach your local legislators.
Also, following is a list of those committees and their members in each
II house who will hear any transportation funding bills . Don' t hesitate
to contact these legislators as well, even though you may not be in
their District.

Proposal for Federal gas tax increase for deficit reduction
I On the recent Washington Fly-in, Minnesota Good Roads members expressed
their opposition to the use of the user fee based federal gas tax for the purpose
of deficit reductrpn.
II ,-,--,-,. ¢ t' ..r fir# "yr
Both Minnesota" Senators and Congressmen Oberstar, Stangeland and Weber
stated their opposition to this use of the federal gas tax. The other Minnesota
I Congressmen were generally opposed as well , but felt the need to keep their options
open for future solutions to the number one priority of reducing the deficit.
This issue .bas, not been resolved and may not even be addressed this year,
Ibut threatens to be donie..part of the debate again during the budget process.
Members of Minnesota Good Roads need to take every opportunity to continue
Ito express to members of the Congressional delegation our opposition to use of the
federal gas tax for deficit reduction or any non-transportation purpose. We will
need to be always attentive to this issue and send letters whenever we see the
II discussion continuing.
The following information should be helpful in understanding the true threat
of this misuse of the user fee based federal aas tax.
II -- A degcit gays tax ,/,4 bad 40n the U.S. economy. The nation' s Gross
National Product (GNP) will suffer as a result of a deficit gas tax. Just a 30-
' cent increase in the cost of a gallon of gasoline will reduce the GNP by $10 billion
in the first year alone. Other hazardous byproducts of the deficit gas tax will be
a drop in automobile production and a drop in housing construction, with some
I 225,000 out of work in the first year and an estimated 525,000 facing unemployment
within the next three years.
- 4 - II
-- A de4,icit gas tax wilt maize oun noadis and bn-%dgm woue. Nearly two-
thirds of America's roads are deficient and in desperate need of repair. The
estimated cost of reconstructing and resurfacing our roads is $293 billion. An
additional expenditure of $51 billion is needed to repair the more than 242,000
bridges that are too old or too weak for existing traffic.
-- A de4ic,it gay, tax i.5 un.6a A to highway wrens. The scope of inequities
reaches all who operate motor vehicles in the United States. However, a deficit
gas tax hits hardest at lower and middle income families who would have to designate
a larger portion of their income to gas taxes - almost half as much more than higher
income families. I
-- The deb-iici.t gas tax p-eacez the burden o{y deficit neduc ion isauatceey on
the 4houYde, o4 American dn,%vms, coshing .them to hso-eve a nati.ona2 pnob.eem.
The public has expressed its displeasure with the notion of raiding the Federal
Highway Trust- Fund in which the money is DEDICATED for a specific purpose: to
develop, repair and maintain American's highway system.
We have to decide how important our roads and bridges are to us. It is
a dangerous game we play by tampering with our transportation system and its
funding mechanism.
America's network of roads and bridges provides the vital link - a lifeline
for the nation - and to put that system in jeopardy is to risk our nation's
economic and social stability.
To those in Washington who seek a quick-fix solution to the federal budget
deficit, increasing the federal gas tax and redirecting the newfound revenue toward
deficit reduction may seem like a painless, simple answer. Obviously, it is not!

Dear Joanne;
This letter is written to clarify the present and anticipated
status of outdoor storage and display at Lotus Lawn and
Garden.
' All material to be displayed in the area in front of
the sales building will be live plant material , just as
illustrated in the site plan approved by City Council last
September . I plan to display and store mulch, peat moss ,
' and potting soil outdoors in a screened enclosure behind
(to the north of ) the sales building. However , due to the
timing of excavation and grading work required on the site
and on the City ' s adjacent parcel to the north, much of
this material will be temporarily stored along the north
edge of the facility ' s parking lot .
My personal preference is in complete accord with the
' City ' s desire to minimize visibility of this material from
Highway 5, and I intend to relocate these items to their
agreed upon location as soon as conditions at the site permit .
' I have chosen to call your attention to this issue , rather
than wait for the City to question my practices , as an indi-
cation of my intention to fully comply with the terms outlined
' in the Conditional Use Permit granted for the site .
Please call me if you wish to discuss this matter in
further detail .
Sincerely,
) 7/7 l

1 This memo is regarding the status of our Community Service i-..--
Officer Program. It is my understanding that this is an s/Z,/k)
appropriate time to consider making at least one of the part-tine
CSO positions a full-time position.
In the relatively short period of time that we have developed the
present CSO program, it has been met with very, very positive
response. The community has greatly appreciated the expertise
and availability of both Deb Rand and Bob Zydowsky. The Carver
County Sheriff' s Department and the Chanhassen Fire Department
' continue to utilize our CSOs on an increasing number of calls .
Chanhassen city staff have also found it extremely helpful to
have these officers available to assist in a variety of
situations .
I recommend that a full-time Community Service officer position
be established.
The benefits are numerous. In general, such a position would
permit us to expand upon the services that are now made
available. Increased hours for the CSO program would certainly
make this service more available to the Sheriff' s Department, the
Fire Department and the community at large. Also, a full-time
CSO could assist in more routine administrative duties, such as
following up on impounded animals , etc.
I believe the CSO program has proven itself to be beneficial. In
times of crisis, it has been proven to be necessary.

From: Fred Hoisington, Consultant ,
Subject: Meeting with Jim Winkles on 3-28-89d s:T` '
Date: 3-30-89 � a,l�s
f
The ose ur of the p t e meeting with Jim w, s to discuss the proposed
assessments to be levied against Townsquare Center for north side parking
' and storm sewer improvements. I explained to Jim, the rationale for 23
parking assessment units indicating that we originally expected 32 spaces
to be available for Tom Krueger westerly of the Riviera but in recalculating
parking demands find that Ahn Lei has increased the parking demand for
Townsquare to 91 spaces leaving only 9 for the Riviera. I explained that
' we simply subtracted 9 from 32 to give them (Townsquare) 23 assessment
units.
rJim was very agreeable though he did not agree specifically to the parking
assessment. He conceded that the storm drainage assessment was
' appropriate but that they would like to at least understand the rationale
for the 23 parking assessment units.
' I explained to Jim that the official Assessment Hearing would not be held
until probably the fall of 1990 and that the assessment roll could change at
any time up until a roll was formally approved by the City Council. I
suggested that if they questioned their parking demand and they would
like to suggest at alternative to the 91 that we calculated, they do their
own parking study and present that as evidence at the Public Hearing in
1990. I indicated that we would like to see that information before the
Public Hearing because we would be making modifications to the roll based
on such input.
Jim was very agreeable with this approach. He seemed resigned to having
to pay for a certain amount of parking based on their preemption of what
we expected would be available for the Riviera. At this point we need do
nothing except wait for the results of their parking studies and then decide
' what changes might be appropriate.

Re: North Side Parking Lot
Public Improvement Project No. 87-17
Chanhassen, Minnesota
Dear Fred:
I appreciate your time yesterday discussing the above referenced project. As ,
the owners of Town Square Center, we support the North Side Parking Lot, though
obviously we are concerned about the amount of assessments attributed to our
property. ,
As you suggested, we will monitor the parking demands at Town Square over the
next year. Prior to the actual assessment hearing in 1990, we should be able
to establish accurate parking demand on which to make an assessment decision.
Again, thank you for your time and suggestions.
Sincerely,

presgnts the following ordinance:
' Amending Title 10 of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances relating to
Food and Food Handlers by adding thereto a new Chapter 204 relating to
Environmental Preservation: Environmentally Acceptable Packaging.
I
The City Council of the City of Minneapolis do ordain as follows:
' Section 1. That the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances be amended by adding
thereto a new Chapter 204 to read as follows:
"Chapter 204. Environmental Preservation:
Environmentally Acceptable Packaging
204.10. Legislative Purpose. The City Council finds that discarded
packaging from foods and beverages constitutes a significant and growing
portion of the waste in Minneapolis' waste stream. Regulation of food and
beverage packaging, therefore, is a necessary part of any effort to
encourage a recyclable and compostable waste stream, thereby reducing the
' disposal of solid waste and the economic and environmental costs of waste
management for the citizens of Minneapolis and others working or doing
business in Minneapolis.
rThe Council further finds that plastic packaging is rapidly replacing
other packaging material , and that most plastic packaging used for foods
' and beverages is nondegradable, nonreturnable and nonrecyclable.
The Council also finds that the two main processes used to dispose of
discarded nondegradable, nonreturnable and nonrecyclable plastic foods and
' beverage packaging, are land filling and incineration, both of which should
be minimized for environmental reasons.

Chemicals hazardous to human health and to the safety of the
environment are present in the composition of plastic packaging, are
believed to leach into the groundwater when this packaging is placed in
landfills, have been found to escape into the air when this packaging is
burned in incinerators, and contribute to environmental problems associated
with ash residue resulting from the incineration process.
The Council therefore finds that the minimization of nondegradable,
nonreturnable and nonrecyclable food and beverage packaging originating at
retail food establishments within the City of Minneapolis is necessary and
desirable in order to reduce the City's waste stream, so as to reduce the
volume of landfilled waste, to minimize toxic by-products of incineration,
to make the waste stream less damaging to the environment, and to make our
City and neighboring communities more environmentally sound places to live.
204.20. Definitions. As used in this Chapter, the following terms and
phrases shall have the meanings as defined in this section:
(a) "Packaging" shall mean and include all food-related wrappings, '
adhesives, cords, bindings, strings, tapes, ribbons, bags, boxes, coverings
and containers; and shall further include cups, glasses and similar
containers for drinking out of or for holding liquids, and plates and
serving trays, but shall specifically exclude plastic knives, forks and
spoons sold or intended for use as utensils.
(b) "Environmentally acceptable packaging" shall mean and include any
of the following:
(1) DEGRADABLE PACKAGING: Paper or other cellulose-based packaging 1
capable of being decomposed by natural biological or biochemical processes;
(2) RETURNABLE PACKAGING: Food or beverage containers or packages,
such as, but not limited to, soft drink bottles and milk containers that
are capable of being returned to the distributor, such as but not limited
to, dairies and soft drink bottlers, for reuse as the same food or beverage
container use at least once;
(3) RECYCLABLE PACKAGING: Packaging made of materials that are
separable from solid waste by the generator or during collection and are
currently collected for recycling in an organized fashion in a municipally
sponsored program within the City of Minneapolis. Packaging made of either
polyethylene terepthalate (P.E.T.) or high density polyethylene (H.D.P.E.)
shall be considered to be recyclable if and when it is collected for
recycling in the same manner as here stated.

packaging. In promulgating such rules the Commissioner shall consider the
1 legislative purposes provided in Section 204.10 of this Chapter and shall
consult with the operators of affected food establishments.
1 204.60. Advisory Commitee on Environmentally Acceptable Packaging.
The City Council shall , by resolution, establish an Advisory Committee on
Environmentally Acceptable Packaging. The resolution shall provide for the
membership, manner of appointment, the Committee' s charge and its duration.

MEMORANDUM
' TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager
FROM: Jo Ann Olsen, Asst. City Planner
1 DATE: April 3 , 1989
1 SUBJ: Curbside Recycling - Incentive
1 As part of the curbside recycling program, the city will be pro-
viding a prize drawing to award residents who recycle. The idea
of the drawing is taken from Plymouth' s successful incentive
program to promote recycling. The city will compile a master
list of all the residents of Chanhassen. At a City Council
meeting, the City Council will choose a page number and line
number which corresponds to a name and address on the list. Dave
' Pederson of the Chanhassen Villager will have the master list and
will inform Waste Management which address was picked. Neither
the City Council or staff will know which resident is picked.
I Waste Management will then check if that address recycled when
they perform the curbside pick-up. If the resident recycled,
they will receive $50 from the City. If they did not recycle,
the $50 will go toward the next drawing which will then be for
1 $100 . Staff is also working on placing all addresses of
Chanhassen residences on cards from which a Council member will
pick one. This will take some time to do and will not be ready
' for the first and second pick-up in May.
At the April 24th City Council meeting, the City Council will
pick the first name and address by choosing a page number and
line number ( example Page 16 , Line 22 ) . The drawing will con-
tinue to take place at every City Council meeting prior to the
next curbside pick-up date. Plymouth is happy with this program
and recently awarded $1, 200 to a winner.

SUBJ: Recycled Paper and Used Oil
I
Attached are two articles from the Minnesota Pollution Control
I
Agency Newsletter "Solid Waste Briefing" which are of interest to
the City. As recycled paper becomes more available and more
affordable, the City might consider using it in place of regular
copy paper. The cost of recycled paper is $7/ream. Currently,
the city pays $7. 45/ream for copy paper. I am having samples of II
the paper sent to determine if it is acceptable for our copier.
If the paper is suitable for our copier, we could run one City
Council report with it to see if the Council would like us to use II
it.
The second article provides information on grants for used oil
II
storage tanks. One of the goals the City Council wanted Planning
to pursue was the recycling of used oil. If an ordinance is
passed which requires gas stations, etc. to provide used oil
II
tanks this grant program may help alleviate some of the cost. I
will be receiving more information on this program.

I Don, this memo is to provide you with a brief update as to the
status of city efforts to deal with this apparent weed infiltra-

I Decatur has picked up the ball and is running with it,
requesting assistance from the city.
I I did meet with Mr. Decatur, as well as a DNR Representative and
a representative from Lake Restoration Incorporated. The purpose
of this meeting was to brainstorm ideas , as well as to identify
the concern.
IThe basics that Mr. Decatur is proposing are:
Ii . A community educational program;
2 . Signing of access Joints ;
II 3 . A contingency fund for chemical eradication once the weed
is identified.
I Frankly, the concern sounds very legitimate, and I think the city
would be well advised to establish a plan. Mr. Decatur is
putting a good deal of effort into assisting with plans , and
I prior to taking any action, I will meet with you for your advise
on what direction to go.

' Ms. Elinor W. Kerber
400 West 76th Street
Chanhassen, MN 55317
' Dear Ms. Kerber:
Your letter of March 22, 1989 is being forwarded to the Mayor and City Council
' members so as to insure that they are aware of your concern. The staff person
who will be responsible for reviewing and determining what can be done is our
City Engineer Gary Warren. I will forewarn you that Mr. Warren's ability to
' respond quickly will be difficult. We have three engineering positions which
would normally be given the responsibility, by Mr. Warren, to work with you.
Currently, all three positions are vacant and, accordingly, Mr. Warren is
carrying out the responsibilities of four .people. I am also fearful as to the
' conclusions that Mr. Warren will probably reach. I am guessing that your
street is over 30 years old. During most of the life of the street, the City
did not have a street sealcoat program in effect. During the past 10 years, the
' street department, on at least two different occasions, attempted to restore the
street via patching/sealcoating. Those programs have not worked. Most of the
street has major alligator sections typical of eroded base material. Similarly,
there is no curbing to control and direct runoff. What asphalt curbing origi-
nally existed is virtually non-existent. I am sure these conditions have
contributed to the undermining of the base material.
The above comments were made solely based on 20 years of seeing various street
conditions and to forewarn you as to probable conclusions. Today engineering
equipment exists to determine whether streets can be salvaged and what actions
' will be required to do such. Again, Mr. Warren will attempt to get to your
problem as soon as possible.
Thank you for your consideration.

Don Ashworth

1 SUBJ: Drainage Problems
1 In response to Jay Johnson ' s memorandum to Don Ashworth and your-
self dated March 27 , 1989, I have reviewed the areas in question
and respond to each as follows:
I1 . Pond located in Near Mountain Development - culvert cleaned
at 3 : 30 p.m. on 3: 27/89.
II2 . Lake Susan Hills Pond - Discharge pipe needs to be installed.
Plans and specifications will be checked to see if the pond
was constructed correctly and the contractor will be
1 notified if such is the case. (,�jN'('(�q.1,1{1A,FiOt'iP1 0 3/3o/aq
3 . Colonial Grove - Home construction blocked normal drainage,

4 . Trails Behind Elementary School - Storm sewer was not FLOWS S

1 constructed as shown on the plans. Could not find an inlet urns
pipe to jet-rod. Opened by itself at 8: 30 a.m. on 3/28/89. R94161LoPti
5 . Intersection of Great Plains Blvd. and West 76th Street - i( 4064,
1 This intersection has always been a problem. This entire
area should be included in a study along with Frontier Trail,
Western Hills and Chanhassen Estates for concrete curb and
1 new streets.
Lake Drive East Sidewalk
1 Since this sidewalk was installed, NSP, U. S. West Communications
and Minnegasco have buried cable and pipe along this sidewalk,
disturbing the established vegetative cover. Until we get some
1 grass to grow, mud is going to be a problem. We requested a
broom for the bobcat to sweet these sidewalks . We will be able
to do a better job at maintaining these walks when we receive
1 this broom.

W.Q.. l- 5'4 :��� ."---t 4_, 1
This weekend I observed flooding problems at the following
locations.
C C.. G c-r SI (j ' ,....-e-.
II
1. Near mountain entrance pond. Water backed up onto HWY 101.
2. Lake Susan Hills pond along County Road 17, embankment washed II out. Pond discharging to highway ditch.
3. Colonial Grove. The water from the 101 highway ditch on
Kurver's development is not passing under Cheyenne Trail. Is
II
there suppose to be a culvert leading to the wetlands in
Colonial Grove?
Also the homes on the northside of Cheyenne Trail are now II
draining south through Kurver's property. I suspect that the
filling of the end lots on Cheyenne has prevented this water
from draining to the wetlands within Colonial Grove. II
t will be suggestive a Mini-feasibility study for adding storm
sewers in Colonial Grove.
II
_se= sou=v r called and stated that the wetlands was
overflowing. This was not the case on Sunday. It appears that
II
water is blocked from getting to the wetlands and then backing
up through his property.
4. Trails behind the school are submerged. I
5. Intersection of Great Plains and 76th Street is again flooded.
There is a low spot in the road where water stands. We should I
put this on the street ma i n1-Rnanne prncjram 1 i m1:.
other Engineering issues: 1
1. Hwy 7 and Oriole Ave. Left Turn Lane. The signage warning of
the left turn lane has not been installed. The pavement lines
are all but non-existent. Since a safe left turn is a
II
condition of approval, we need a schedule of when the left turn
will be finished, If the schedule is unacceptable I will push
to shutdown all construction on the development, including
SuperAmerica. 11
2. Lake Drive East sidewalk is unusable due to mud. Residents II report that it has never been usable. We should put it on the
schedule to clean. The people in the area walk in the street.

OLD BUSINESS
' Lakeview Hills: A warning ticket was issued by Steve Kirchman
for the stairway coming away from one of the buildings . He will
be following up on this if no response is obtained from the fix-
it ticket.
McGlynn Bakeries: The construction crews working at the McGlynn
' Bakery site should be parking on Park Road while Audubon is being
constructed. We will be keepin an eye on the traffic in that
area.
Hooked on Classics : Apparently the bubble proved to be too much
for Hooked on Classics to comply with Code requirements . They
will be seeking other alternatives in that area.
Rosemount Engineering: Mark Littfin, Steve Kirchman and Dale
Gregory visited the Rosemount site in Eden Prairie to check on
' the chemical storage there. They came back and said that there
is some highly volatile material that will be stored at the
Rosemount site in Chanhassen. They will be keeping a close watch
' on the situation.
Anh-Le Restaurant:
Carl stated that the Anh-Le Restaurant is
supposed to be fully code compliant by the end of this week.
NEW BUSINESS
' Phones for New Addition: The inspectors requested as many phones
as they have inspectors to help solve the present problem of not
enough phones for the inspectors .
Partial Permits: The inspection department has developed a three
letter code to attach to partial permits as they are given out.
This will help the communication process of knowing just what
sort of permits are being issued.
Tornado Awareness Week: April 2-7, 1989 is Tornado Awareness

SUBJ: Recycling Committee
The City has been receiving several calls from residents
interested in joining the Chanhassen Recycling Committee. I have
' been sending applications to those interested in the committee.
Before establishing any committee, I would like direction from
yourself and the City Council as to how large the committee
' should be and who should be on it.
The committee should have representatives from the general
public, waste haulers ( large and small) , City Council, Carver
'
County liaison (Rick Schneider) , and a city staff liaison. Does
the City Council want the group to be a commission with by-laws ,
etc. or just an informal committee? Does the City Council wish
to interview those interested in being on the committee and limit
the number or should all interested be dermitted to attend?
' I am hoping to establish the committee sometime in May with its
main goal being to recommend a long term recycling program for
Chanhassen. Please let me know your thoughts on the Recycling
Committee.

SUBJ: Settlement Agreements - Greenery Company and Phillip and
Nancy Hillman
II
The settlement agreements reached with both the Greenery Company
1 and Hillman came as not only a surprise, but sheer amazement. I
will not detail the points of law being raised in each of these
two cases in this form of document. However, you can be assured
that I will individually notif_! Council members as to what those
II points of law were. You and I had reviewed the details of each
of the two cases in advance of court appearance. If you recall,
my ending comment to you was "fat chance" . As originally stated,
I to sea the two settlement agreements with one being totally in
favor of the City and the other obtaining a reasonable payment
level is incredible. As can be seen ov the following carbon
II cooy, I am also sending a copy of this memorandum to Pat Farrell,
Dave Grannis , and Valerie Linaman or your office as an expression
to each of them for their efforts in settling these two cases .
Again, the work of your office remains exemplary.

1 To: Donald Ashworth, City Manager, and
Steve Hanson, Planning Director
From: Fred Hoisington, Consultant
Subject: Meeting with Tom and Lou Krueger on 3-13-89
Date: 3-15-89
her, Rich Thomas and and I met with Tom and Lou Krueger and Jim
Jim Las Thomasgard
an alternative plan to that which was the subject of the original
1
presented ula plan to that •- � original
Plan Review. The new plan provides approximately, 8 additional
parking spaces directly on what was the old Krueger property. It also
1 changed the circulation but Tom and Lou are most supportive of it and I
believe they went away with a very good feeling toward the City for
having resolved their problem.
1 I explained to them that the Site Plan would have to be amended and
resubmitted to the Planning Commission and City Council for approval. I
1 told them that it would be on the April 5 Planning Commission Agenda and
that they should put that on their calendar so that they might attend. I
went then and explained to Steve Hanson that it should be on the April 5
1 Agenda for a Site Plan Amendment.
1 Lou Krueger asked what the likely uses would be for Phase II of the
Medical Arts complex? She explained that they would have some concerns
over a restaurant occupying a portion of that building that might compete
1 with them for available parking. I indicated that the kind of use proposed
was for general and professional office and additional clinic occupants. I
told Rich Thomasgaid that it would be exiiuu.e:y :mporta,t that we not
have competitive uses in the west wing of the Medical Arts complex.
1 In my later discussion with Steve Hanson, I suggested that we attach a
condition to Site Plan Approval which would preclude restaurants and
retail uses in at least the westerly half of Phase II of the complex. We
agreed that a condition also should be included in the Development
Agreement for Phase II that would bind the developer to that condition.
1 Generally speaking, the meeting went extremely well and the Kruegers
appeared to be satisfied with the results.

' Ms. Nancy Lee
Admiral `Waste Management

Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Dear Ms. Lee:
' You called today to follow up on what your business (Admiral
Waste Management) could be defined as under the zoning code after
the determination at the City Council on February 27 , 1989, that
your business does not fall within the definition of contractor' s
' yard.
To respond to your question, let me summarize a few sections of
the code. The code defines the following uses which are closest
to your business "contractor ' s yard" , " junk yard" and "motor
freight terminal" . Copies of these are attached.
My understanding of your business is that you will store your
vehicles and service them on site. In addition you will transfer
collectibles from smaller vehicles to temporary storage bins and
' then transport materials to appropriate disposal sites.
My interpretation of your business is that it is more of an
' industrial use that sorts and processes materials . I would con-
sider this to be similar to a motor freight terminal which is an
allowed use in the IOP District subject to the conditional use
' permit provisions.
If you have further questions , please contact Jo Ann or myself.
' Sincerely,
' 442kva

SUBJ: South Shore Senior Center
On April 5 , 1989 , I attended a meeting for the South Shore Senior
Center. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the reloca-
tion of the center. The center is currently located in a
' Minnetonka School District building and the school district is
going to reopen the school in the near future. Therefore, the
senior center needs to find a new, hopefully, permanent location.
' The center would like input from the City as far as suggestions
for locations, forming a coalition and funding. Attached you
will find criteria for the relocation of the South Shore Senior
' Center. The South Shore Senior Center will be holding another
meeting and City Council members are encouraged to attend. I
will notify the City Council when the next meeting will be held.
' The South Shore Senior Center would welcome any visitors for
those interested in seeing how the city funding is being used.
Anyone interested could call myself or JoAnn Kvern at 474-7635.
' The South Shore Senior Center is sponsoring a play on April 28th.
Again, anyone interested is welcome to attend.

SUBJ: Joint City Council/Park and Recreation Commission Meeting
I The City Council requested a second joint meeting with the Park
and Recreation Commission on April 11 at 6 : 30 p.m. to discuss
access to Lake Lucy. A considerable amount of research has been
Idone in this area.
The Park and Recreation Commission held a public hearing with
I Lake Lucy residents to review the access study done by Mark
Koegler (attached) . Based on the study, the general concensus
was to pursue the idea of a portage from Lake Ann to Lake Lucy.
Although a portage arrangement, if acceptable to DNR, would require
I making Lake Lucy a quiet lake, this was the most favorable
option. I have contacted DNR as to whether or not they would
approve a portage access . Initially the reaction from Del Barber
I and Duane Shodeen was positive. However, upon discussions with
the Central Office, such was determined to be unacceptable ( see
attached letter) .
IThe second option that seemed most favorable was shown as Option
D in the study. Staff was directed to have a mini feasibility
study done on the outlot to determine layout and cost ( see
I attached) . The outlot would accommodate the necessary components
of an access; however, due to poor soil conditions, a con-
siderable amount of correction is needed. Additionally, this
I site will require dredging a 500 ft. channel to get to open
water. This brings the cost of the access on this site to almost
$120, 000 for construction alone. Although the owner of the
outlot has not named a price or expressed a willingness to sell,
Ithe property was sold to him for $49, 000 one and one-half years
ago.
I It is my feeling that Lake Lucy is an exceptional lake with
characteristics that warrant special considerations . I have ten-
tatively set up a meeting with the DNR Central Office to appeal
Ito them to reconsider their position given facts that I have

attached here. Unfortunately, the meeting is not until after the '
joint meeting, at which time the City Council was to be updated.
As the funding of the Lake Riley Chain of Lakes Clean Up Project
is contingent upon this access, staff will continue to pursue a
reasonable solution. 1

I Re : Feasibility Study for
Lake Lucy Boat Access
VHS Project No. 89-304
IIDear Lori :
I We are pleased to present to you the results of the feasibility
study concerning boat access to Lake Lucy . The study was conducted
per your authorization dated March 16 , 1989 . The study set out to
answer two questions : 1 ) How does the access and parking fit on
I the property ? and 2 ) What will it cost ? We will address each
question in order then follow with our summary .
I The property in question is Outlot A , Lake Lucy Highlands , located
on the south side of Lake Lucy Road in the northwest corner of Lake
Lucy. The property is approximately 1080 feet long by a nominal
width of 300 feet . Nearly 70 percent of the area is marshy with
I the remainder consisting of slightly ground . The property is part
of the City ' s designated wetland .
I Plate No. 1 illustrates one possible layout . The facilities would
include a 20 foot wide drive , parking for seven (7 ) cars with
trailers , boat ramp and a fifty foot ( 50 ' ) wide access channel to
I reach a navigational depth of water to operate an outboard motor.
The layout is consistent with current DNR standards . Two culverts
will be needed to maintain present drainage patterns .
I A portion of the access drive near Lake Lucy Road would cross a
portion of the designated wetland . There is no other alternative
location to avoid the wetland while keeping the drive on the
I property. There is , however , some land area noted as high ground
which could be reclaimed as wetland to compensate for the taking .

II ,
The proposed boat access channel will include marsh land excavation
I and below water lake dredging . The channel in the lake area would
extend an estimated distance of 500 feet based on a lake bottom
contour map and information received from an adjoining homeowner
who is contemplating the same activity .
IThe construction work includes minor grading , bituminous paving ,
culvert installation , marsh area excavation , lake dredging , boat
I ramp , signing and restoration . No concrete curb and gutter is
included nor recommended . It is anticipated that the most
economical approach to the access construction is to "float" the
drive across the marsh area. With this approach , long-term
I settlements are predictable and would cause the curb to become
disfunctional . All surplus excavated material and the marsh and
lake area dredgings are projected to be disposed of off-site .
I There is no space available on this site for disposal of excavated
material .
I Two methods of lake dredging were studied . One method involved
conventional excavation equipment , i . e . backhoes or drag lines .
This method could only be done in the winter when the ice cover was
sufficient to support the equipment. The second method involves
1 a wet vacuum process . The material would be pumped to a lay down
area where natural drying would occur. It could then be loaded and
trucked off-site. This procedure could be done during the summer
I months . The more conventional excavation method resulted in the
lower cost and , therefore , is used in the following cost summary :
I Clearing & Grubbing lump sum $ 1 ,500
Excavation & Fill 3600 CY 12 ,000
Drive & Parking Lot Paving SY 32 ,500
Culverts 115 LF 7 , 500
I Boat Ramp lump sum 5 ,000
Boat Access Channel 3750 CY 23 ,000
Erosion Control 1500 LF 4 , 500
1 Seeding & Sodding lump sum 5 , 000
TOTAL ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COST $ 91 ,000

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
I
1 . Parking and access can fit on outlot A .
I2 . Layout of facilities is consistent with DNR regulations .
3 . The project would require a winter and summer season to
Icomplete.
I
I
4 . Soil borings and a boundary and topographic survey are
recommended to be obtained prior to making a major financial
commitment . The layout and cost estimate were based on a
number of assumptions . A study update should then be
prepared .
5 . Add $15 ,000 to condense the construction period to one season .
We trust the information presented herein will assist you in
evaluating the overall merits of this project .
We will be glad to review this report in detail at
convenience . your

RE : LAKES ANN - LUCY WATER ACCESS
Dear Lori :
I checked with our Central Office into the allowance of
the Lake Ann Access serving as the access for both lakes.
They said that an access with separate parking would be
required for Lake Lucy. A portage between the lakes with
only parking and access through Lake Ann could not serve
both. One ramp area with parking could not serve bot :
lakes unless it was situated between the lakes and two
' ramp areas were provided, one into each lake.
i am sorry if this creates any inconvenience. Good luck.
' Sincerely,
' Delos Barber, Coordinator

ILAKE LUCY ACCESS STUDY
' INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE
This report provides an overview of potential
public access
locations on Lake Lucy in north central Chanhassen . For the
purposes of this study , "public access " is defined as a publicly
owned or controlled parcel of land whose purpose is to provide
' access to Lake Lucy . Lake Lucy is categorized by the State of
Minnesota as public waters .
Facilities at a public access include required entrance roads ,
parking , a boat ramp and associated facilities . Standards utilized
by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources ( DNR) require the
' provision of one parking space for every 20 acres of surface water .
' Lake Lucy consists of a total of 135 acres necessitating the
provision of seven parking spaces .
PLANNING CONTEXT
Public access to Lake Lucy is being sought for two primary reasons .
The first is related to a lake clean up project and the second is
' due to City policy . Over the past 10 years , a variety of studies
of water quality have been done for lakes throughout the Twin
Cities Metropolitan Area . Lake Riley , located in south central
Chanhassen , has frequently been included in such studies . The
1
2
watershed affecting Lake Riley has a number of tributary lakes
including Rice Marsh , Lake Susan , Lake Ann and at the north end ,
Lake Lucy ( Figure 1 ) . All of these lakes and their surrounding
drainage areas have an impact on Lake Riley. Because of the ,
physical connection each of the lakes , the clean up of Lake Riley
requires clean up efforts on each of the lakes in the watershed
including Lake Lucy . I
In August of 1985 , a report entitled "Lake Riley Diagnostic Study " '
was completed by Barr Engineering . The report identified water
quality problems in a number of lakes including Lake Lucy . Based
partially on that report , the Riley-Purgatory Watershed District '
in conjunction with other state and local agencies applied for
federal ( EPA) funding under the Clean Lakes Act to specifically '
identify problems and effectuate clean up procedures . The total
project which carries a cost of just under one million dollars
involves a thorough analysis of problems in the watershed area and 1
follow up actions including but not limited to fish kills and
restocking , fish barriers , aeration systems , weed harvesting and 1
chemical treatments .
Under federal guidelines utilized for the Clean Lakes Program , all ,
lakes within a watershed area that receives federal assistance are
required to provide public access . Additionally , it is the policy '
of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to require public
access prior to the restocking and continued stocking of game fish .
At the present time , Lake Lucy is the only lake in the Lake Riley
