Multi-Tenant
1 ANALYSIS
At the September 26, 1988, City Council meeting, the Council
reviewed the first readings of the zoning ordinance amendment to
I permit day care centers as multi-tenant and separate uses as a
conditional use permit in the IOP District. The City Council
approved the zoning ordinance amendments with the following con-
1 ditions:
1 . The site shall have loading and drop-off points designed to
Iavoid interferring with traffic and pedestrian movements .
2 . Outdoor play areas shall be located and designed in a manner
which mitigates visual and noise impacts of adjoining resi-
1 dential areas .
3 . Each center shall obtain applicable state, county and city
1 licenses.
The City Council requested staff to review the following four
additional issues concerning day care centers within an IOP
1 District:
1 . Impervious surface ratio

' DATE: October 19, 1988
' SUBJ: Day Care Centers in IOP Zone
At the City Council meeting on September 26, 1988, several issues were raised
relative to the approval of conditional use permits for day care centers as
freestanding uses in the IOP zone. Issues pertained primarily to four topics:
1) Impervious surface ratio, 2) Radon gas, 3) Air quality and 4) Noise. Each
of these issues are addressed as follows:
IMPERVIOUS SURFACE
rISSUE: During review by the City Council, the issue of open space and play
areas was discussed. The general concern seemed to focus on requiring
adequate landscaped open space in addition to play areas.
DISCUSSION: In order to maintain an attractive environment and to provide an
appropriate setting for a child care facility, it is reasonable to be
concerned with landscaping and open space. The intent of the zoning code is
to provide "green" areas and not necessarily areas containing sand and play
structures. In order to ensure that adequate green areas exist, the City has
the option of specifying a maximum allowable amount of impervious surface
cover which is more restrictive than the 70% allowed in the IOP zone. If a
more restrictive standard is to be applied, the question becomes which
standard should be used?
r
r
r
r
The Chanhassen zoning ordinance allows schools in the Office and Institutional
district subject to a maximum impervious surface coverage of 65%. Day care
centers are similar to schools in a number of ways including necessary dropoff
points, playground areas, etc. Because of the similarity, it seems rational
to apply the 65% standard in lieu of the 70% standard. The following example
highlights the adequacy of the 65% threshold.
The minimum lot size in the IOP zone is one acre (43,560 square feet). ,
Application of a 65% coverage maximum results in 15, 246 square feet of open
space. Minimum setback requirements provide 11,740 square feet of open space
leaving 3,506 square feet of open space area outside of required setbacks.
Play areas for most daycare centers total approximately 500 square feet in
area. This results in a total of approximately 3,000 remaining square feet of
open space on the site. This example reflects a minimum situation. Lot area
coverages may be less than 65% due to existing topography, tree cover or other
constraints.
RECOMMENDATION: A maximum impervious surface coverage limitation of 65% seems '
to provide adequate open space for day care facilities. If the City Council
concurs with this conclusion, Section 20-814 of the Chanhassen City Code
should be amended to require a maximum impervious surface coverage of 65% for
day care centers in the IOP zone.
If the Council feels that a 35% open space requirement is still inadequate,
consideration could be given to requiring that play areas count as part of the
impervious coverage areas rather than part of the open space areas.
RADON GAS 1
ISSUE: The issue was raised as to whether or not testing of day care
facilities for Radon gas should be implemented as part of a conditional use
permit.
DISCUSSION: The public's awareness of Radon gas is relatively new. In order
to obtain information on this topic, I contacted Laura Oatman of the Minnesota
Department of Health. According to her, the state and federal governments are
at least one year away from enacting rules pertaining to commercial
facilities. To date, the emphasis has been placed on residential units. '
Since commercial standards are unavailable at this time, the City is put in a
position of "writing the book" on this issue. The Department of Health
suggests that average annual testing be included as a provision of the
operation of day care facilities. A full year of testing is required since
winter Radon levels can be as much as 60% higher than summer levels and total
exposure is the key issue. If the City has a significant concern that Radon
may be prevalent in the business park, the developer could be required to
install a subslab ventilation system as part of initial construction. Such a
system can be activated and used if later test results indicate high levels of
Radon gas.
I
I
' RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council amend Section 20-814
of the Chanhassen City Code to require that day care facilities submit average
annual test results for the monitoring of Radon gas. It is further
' recommended that Radon gas levels comply with state and federal standards upon
their adoption.
' AIR QUALITY
ISSUE: Air quality and concern about lead concentrations were additional
points raised during the City Council review on September 26, 1988.
' DISCUSSION: The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (PCA) has a section that
enforces air quality standards and rules. In conversations with Suzanne
' Spitzer and Pat Mulloy, both staff members in the air quality division, the
following information was obtained.
Rules and standards pertaining to air quality are not geared for industrial
parks like the Chanhassen Lakes Business Park. They are aimed more at large
scale users (power plants) or at geographic areas such as major intersection
points (Snelling and University) or the entire seven county metropolitan area.
Of the potential air pollutants, carbon monoxide is of most concern because it
affects children more intensively than adults. PCA rule APC-1 identifies a
carbon monoxide standard of nine parts per million over an eight hour period.
' PCA staff stated that there is virtually no way that the Chanhassen Lakes
Business Park would not be in compliance with this standard. For example, the
Edinborough complex in Edina contains a day care facility. Edinborough is
adjacent to I-494 which has an average daily traffic volume in excess of
120,000 vehicles. The Edina site is in full compliance with Rule APC-1.
Doug Benson is the PCA staff person who works with lead standards. He
indicated that lead is not likely to be an issue unless adjacent industrial
uses are either a lead/acid battery recycling firm or a business operation
that burns used motor oil for heating purposes. Neither of these uses are
likely in the industrial park and, therefore, lead is not viewed as a
' significant concern.
RECOMMENDATION: From the information obtained, air quality and lead do not
pose significant threats to day care centers in the IOP zone. All facilities
within the industrial park are likely to be in full compliance with state
guidelines. Therefore, it is not recommended that special provisions be added
' to the conditional use permit to monitor and/or control air quality and lead
levels.
I
r

r
NOISE
ISSUE: Noise levels and their effect on children was an issue raised by the ,
City Council during the review of the day care request.
DISCUSSION: Dave Kelso of PCA was contacted for information on existing noise 1
standards and their impact on day care facility. Day care facilities in the
industrial park presents an interesting situation. State rules that govern
permissible levels of noise establish various standards depending upon the
type of land use. Day care centers are looked upon as being essentially
residential type facilities. Correspondingly, they have noise thresholds that
are lower than industrial businesses. 1
The interesting aspect of placing day care facilities in the IOP zone is that
it establishes a situation where "the exception becomes the rule." Industrial
parks without daycare centers permit higher noise levels than the same
industrial parks after the addition of day care facilities. This creates some
concern regarding future uses which may desire to locate in the industrial
park and either their prohibition from doing so or the City having to require
mitigation measures as part of the site plan review.
Although future conflicts are possible, the likelihood of their occurrence is ,
viewed as being slim due to open space requirements and the types of land uses
allowed in the industrial park. The City may want to initially verify
existing levels of noise to guarantee that the site complies with state noise
guidelines for day care facilities. According to the PCA, such a test can be
obtained from a number of local testing firms for a total cost not exceeding
$200.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council amend Section 20-814
of the Chanhassen City Code to require that the developer of day care
facilities provide the City with test results that prove that a site complies
with Minnesota Rule 7010. Testing shall be completed and the results
submitted to the City for review prior to issuance of a building permit.
SUMMARY I
Based upon investigation of the preceding topics, it is recommended that
additional provisions be added to the conditional use permits for day care
facilities in the IOP zone relating to impervious surface, Radon gas and
noise. Specifically, the following items are suggested:
1. Day care facilities in the IOP zone shall be subject to a maximum '
lot coverage of 65%.
2. Day care facilities shall submit average annual test results for '
Radon gas. Results shall be submitted annually on the anniversary
of the date of the issuance of the original occupancy permit. Day
care facilities shall comply with all applicable state and federal
requirements pertaining to testing and required mitigation
techniques.
3. Prior to issuance of a building permit, day care facilities shall '
conduct tests of existing noise conditions and submit test results
to the City for review. In order for a building permit to be
issued, existing conditions shall comply with Minnesota Rule 7010. '

required on those. The TIF agreement is basically an agreement to insure that
3 the HRA will pay back over to the City money needed by the City to pay off
bonds. The final one is the authorization for the feasibility study for Lake
Drive East and Gary Warren presented that as a separate memorandum dated 13-C.
I would entertain questions on items 13-A or 13-B if the Council has any. '
Councilman Geving: All you're looking for is a formality on (A)? On the

Don Ashworth: Yes and really, it's a projection. It's only an agreement that
the HRA is going to pay you the money necessary to insure that those bonds are
paid off.
Councilman Horn: I would move a resolution in acceptance.
Councilman Geving: I'll second it.
Councilman Boyt: I've got one comment. I think that staff should prepare for
us what the area's we're negotiating in. I understand that there is a few areas
in which there are going to be some variance requests and I'd like to know what
those are before we get a whole lot further into this.
Don Ashworth: It has been perfectly clear that the developer will have to go
through any requests for variances. That the purchase and sale agreements are
all solely subject to the applicant receiving the approvals necessary for the
4 Planning Commission and City Council. It's the same formal language that is
used by a private seller to another party where you would then have to come
before the City in that process. 4r'e are absolutely in no way are we telling

Councilman Boyt: What I'm saying Don, not that we're promising them something
but I think we're in the process of discussing items with them and the Council
should be looking at what those are ahead of time.
Don Ashworth: I do have a listing and I thought I had sent i.t. It goes through

' BACKGROUND
The City Council approved the Zoning Ordinance amendment to allow
' state licensed day care centers as an accessory use in the IOP,
Industrial Office Park District on July 11, 1988 . The Planning
Commission reviewed this request at the June 15 , 1988 meeting.
ANALYSIS
Staff advised the applicant that a separate ordinance amendment
should be considered for this application. Our initial interpre-
tation for a day care center as part of a multi-tenant building
was that it could not be considered as an accessory use as it
' would be one of many principle uses in a multi-tenant building.
Secondly, staff felt that the City may want to evaluate these
facilities as part of an existing multi-tenant building in a dif-
ferent manner than would for a free-standing facility.
The applicant has requested this Zoning Ordinance amendment in
order that the day care center can occupy space in the Heitman
' building (former Chanhassen Lakes Business Center Phase I
building) and convert a portion of the parking area for the out-
door play area.
' Staff contacted other communities specifically regarding day care
centers as part of an existing multi-tenant building. Chaska
permits day care facilities in their industrial parks . The Lady
Bug Day Care Center in the Jonathan Industrial Park occupies a
corner of the building and has an outdoor play area fenced
between the road and the building. Ten spaces in the parking
area are specifically reserved for the use. St. Louis Park was
contacted regarding the day care facility in the Minneapolis West
Business Center (see Attachment #1) . In this particular case,
the City did require a special use permit prior to installation
and required that adequate stacking and parking area be available
to provide for adequate drop-off and loading facilities . The St.
Louis Park example did convert a portion of the parking area for
' the outdoor play area. Because of the play area' s proximity to a
major highway, the City requested a special analysis from the day
care operators regarding carbon monoxide and lead poisoning. It
' was determined that there would be no adverse impact from the
highway.
In Chanhassen' s case, the same type of issues hold true for the
Heitman building or the other multi-tenant buildings in the park.
The building is constructed based on a parking ratio of office
and warehouse space. Once a specific use such as a day care
center occupies the building, then other standards should apply.
It is recommended that a day care center be a conditional use
prior to occupying a rental space in a multi-tenant building in
order for the City to insure that the pedestrian and traffic
ZOA 88-14
September 7 , 1988
Page 3
conflicts are minimized, that there is adequate loading and drop- '
off area, and that the outdoor play area is located in such a
manner so that access to the play area is safe from traffic
conflicts or loading activity conflicts. In this situation, if
the City agrees to amend the ordinance, the operators of the day
care center would have to apply for a conditional use permit.
The same standards that are currently in place for day care cen- '
ters in the residential districts would be appropriate in these
situations as well. Again, the primary concern is parking access 11 facilities .
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt the I
following motion:
"The Planning Commission recommends approval of Zoning ,
Ordinance Amendment Request 88-14 to amend Section 20-814 as
follows:
(14) State licensed day care centers as part of a multi-
tenant building.
Additionally, to add to Section 20-292 , State Licensed Day
Care Centers :
1 . The site shall have loading and drop-off
points designed to avoid interferring with
traffic and pedestrian movements.
2 . Outdoor play areas shall be located and
designed in a manner which mitigates visual and
noise impacts of adjoining residential areas . '
3 . Each center shall obtain applicable state,
county and city licenses.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
request as presented by staff. The Commission, as done in the
previous application, directed staff to investigate any addi-
tional standards to include in the ordinance. ,
STAFF UPDATE
The same discussion written in the previous report holds true for ,
this application. More complicated with this application,
however, is retrofitting existing parking and access areas for
new traffic movements and separation of play areas . The plan I

IIZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REQUEST TO AMEND SECTION 20-813 TO ALLOW CHILD CARE
CENTERS AS AN ACCESSORY USE IN THE IOP, INDUSTRIAL OFFICE PARK DISTRICT, FIRST
1 READING.
Mayor Hamilton: I think Redman Products already has a daycare center in their
facility.
1 Barbara Dacy: That's correct. That was under our former ordinance and the
former ordinance did allow that type of accessory use.
IIMayor Hamilton: I think it's a great idea. It's really neat that companies are
willing to do that.
1 Councilman Boyt: I think we need to be specific about the users of the daycare
center. I think they need to be limited to children who have parents employed
in the Industrial Park or maybe even with that particular employer where it's
II located. I don't think we want to encourage licensed daycare centers to take
people from the general public in an industrial office park. It's a real good
idea for the children of the people who work there.
IICouncilman Geving: I think that's probably already built in.
Mayor Hamilton: Do you know what the scope of your operation is going to be
II Dick?
Dick Warren: The primary purpose of course would be for the employees of
I Instant Webb Company. What you run into is we have some fairly significant
costs that are associated with regulations. Construction really has to be built
during contingency so, I'm trying to find a good way of phrasing this. I think
II that it would make the thing a lot more doable if you had the escape hatch of
opening it up to other people in the office park, if for whatever reason... It
would make the project a lot more feasible over the long haul.
II Mayor Hailton: I think that's what Bill and Clark are saying. As long as it's
for the people in the office park, people who work there. Not necessarily
someone who works up on TH 7 and wants to just drop their child off at your
II daycare center since there are other daycare centers to handle those type of
folks.
Councilman Boyt: I think we need to word that someway because as it stands now,
IIanyone could come in and say I want to put a daycare center in the IOP.
Barbara Dacy: Not as a permitted use. We have to have an established permitted
IIuse in the industrial first before you can have an acessory use.
Councilman Boyt: Okay, I guess that covers my concern.
ICouncilman Horn moved, Mayor Hamilton seconded to approve Zoning Ordinance
Amendment Request #88-10 to amend Section 20-813, Permitted Accessory Uses of
the IOP, Industrial Office Park District, as follows:
II (4) State licensed day care center.

Wildermuth: I 'm surprised he didn ' t haul it off.
Brad Johnson: It is being hauled away this week. As I said, it' s part of
a general clean-up that' s under process . If it were cleaned up, we' ll
figure out a solution but the solution, until there is that kind of II property. . . I wouldn' t believe it had I not gone back and guys like Bob
Naegele owned it and a guy by the name of. . . Both of those were of

Public Present :
Richard Warren
Jo Ann Olsen presented the staff report .
Chairman Emmings called the public hearing to order .
Dick Warren : I 'm Dick Warren with the Instant Webb Company. I wrote the
letter that is included in the packet. I told Barb that I would bring •
along a copy of the revised 4 , 300 foot structure plan to give you a sense
of what that would look like. It' s the same concept. The fundamental
issue is we ' re dealing with so many ratios , space ratios , it ' s a little
bit like designing a . . .and we just couldn' t get the job done in the
structure design. I 'm available for any questions that you have otherwise
I don' t have any further comment .
Conrad moved , Wildermuth seconded to close the public hearing . All voted
in favor and the motion carried . The public hearing was closed . ,
Ellson : I love it. I love the idea . I think it ' s great . I think you' re
idea is great. You can hire me any time because I 'd love to have an
office that had a daycare . I think it ' s wonderful .
Conrad: No comments. I think it' s a good idea .
Batzli : I had a comment and I realized probably how silly it is now that
I reread the definition of an accessory use and my question was going to
be why don ' t we make it a conditional use but it ' s a permitted accessory
use so 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other , I guess, and since they' re
licensed , I don ' t have a problem with that .

11 come back on the public hearing so they want to be sure that we' re in
agreement with what this says at this point in time. If anybody' s got any
reservations , just go ahead and speak them out .
Conrad: The only thing that I find interesting is the City Council , who
was very concerned about 1, 000 square foot accessory building and we
rationalized 1, 000 as a good sized three car garage and a shop. That ' s
how we came to that 1, 000 feet . That makes sense to me. I have no other
comments but that' s a number we could certainly move around. Whether it' s
1, 000 or whatever . I think City Council will move it to where they want
' to move it anyway so I don' t really care.
Emmings : The 3 acres is the same thing . It could be 3. It could be 4 .
It could be 5 or 9 but I think it ' s reasonable. Then does everybody feel
that this basically says , that it brings together what we tried to do so
many times before.

Planning Commission Meeting
September 7, 1988 - Page 61 1
Scott Anderson : My name is Scott Anderson and I 'm with Anderson and
Associates. We' re corporate adminstrative consultants working with New
Horizon Day Care . New Horizon Day Care has about 30+ locations currently
in the 7 county market and this particular location, working with Heitman II
will be the , there are three that we' re currently working with with
Heitman Properties. The property of course was developed by Opus and
Heitman is the current owner . Heitman being a pension fund that owns
properties such as IDS Tower and the City Center and First Bank East and
West and little things like that around the Twin Cities market . Just to
respond to a few of the quick issues that were brought up earlier, in
general I think day care is just an extremely rapidly growing industry
and initially when the concept of day care was to put them closer to
residential uses . Now I think a vast majority of expansion in day care
that we' re seeing on behalf of New Horizons and other day care clients as II
well , is to be closer to the place of work than closer to home. That ' s
one of the biggest single reasons that in Chanhassen you ' re seeing this .
We' re in front of Minnetonka. We' re in front of the City of Minneapolis ,
Burnsville. There are already current locations within industrial parks II
in multi-tenant buildings. As an example , Eden Prairie on West 70th
Street, . . . is probably the closest one. In Minneapolis, we get a multi-
tenant building . In Minnetonka, a multi-tenant building . We' re looking
for facilities in downtown Minneapolis and in the last couple weeks a
multi-tenant office building was suggested in Minneapolis showing a day
care. In fact, day care on the skyway system in downtown St. Paul with
access to rooftop for playground . Day Care is just in tremendous demand
and what we have is a very good operator, New Horizon Day Care. When you
look at some of the information in there , it ' s considered one of the best
in the United States and they come very highly recommended. They' ve
always been high in the State of Minnesota standards, which by the way,
the State of Minnesota has some of the strictest safety standards in the
United States , if not the strictest so I think when you consider day '
care, as far as safety issues , the State of Minnesota really does a real
strong look at every single one of these facilities . In addition , New
Horizon has been in business since 1971. This is non-profit corporation
that will be running this particular facility called Building Blocks . If ,
there is additional space available, and it ' s only if, there ' s a very
small percentage chance another one of the elements that may be
incorporated into this facility is something called Chicken Soup. It' s
for sick kids . It' s another thing we' re working with to expand
throughout the Twin Cities market. Again, the present demand to work
with the companies , close to the companies for care of the sick children
as well as an entity that would provide, subsidize through the
corporation, day care . With that, if you have any questions .
Sue from Building Block : . . .One of the things that I wanted to point out II
is the real benefit we have being close to work is when you already have
a provider in another location, a neighbor or another center , if
something happens and you can ' t get there , . . . we have all the. . .call in
sick. I can ' t come today, my provider is sick. I don 't know what I 'm
cgoing to do . . .
Scott Anderson : . . .we already have a waiting list in excess of 30
students without any advertising. Without any marketing so the demand . . .
I

' We are close to 50% tuition filled and we' ve done nothing but word of
mouth so there' s another side of the demand.
' Emmings moved , Headla seconded to close the public hearing . All voted in
favor and the motion carried. The public hearing was closed.
' Emmings : I don ' t like this one. I shouldn' t say I don' t like it. My
reservations about it being in multi-tenant buildings as opposed to a fre
standing facility is simply access . One of my concerns , I 'm not using
day care anymore. One of my major concerns when I did use day care is
who has access to that building? How do we know, if you've got a
multi-tenant building, you' ve got a lot more people coming and going .
Both the people who have offices there and any clients they might be
seeing and deliveries being made. It seems to me that security in a
multi-tenant building is totally different than in a free standing
building. They probably know a lot more about that than I do but I think
maybe we want standards for a multi-tenant building that says that the
entrance and the exit to the day care facility is separate and distinct
from the access to the building itself.
Scott Anderson: It definitely is .
Conrad : We' re not reviewing your application .
Emmings: I 'm glad you thought about it. I guess what I 'm saying is ,
maybe we ought to have that built in here.
Ellson: In case the next guy doesn' t .
Conrad : Why?
Emmings : I suppose you can let the parents worry about it but you know,
my feeling is, when you need day care, sometimes you go out and you get
what ' s available because when you need it , you need it bad . If that
facility, why don ' t we impose that on people that are going to build in
here rather than forcing parents of kids . . .
' Conrad : What ' s going to happen between the car door and the front of the
day care center?
' Ellson : Unless it ' s a high rise or something and you don ' t even know
where it is and all these people are coming in and out. We don' t know.
Sue from Building Block: They all have to be ground level .
Conrad: You ' re kicking your kid out the car and saying , well hopefully
you get there?
Sue from Building Block : Also, all of our parents have to come in and
sign their child in.
I
Planning Commission Meeting
September 7, 1988 - Page 63 1
Conrad : We' re really not looking at your particular application. We ' re ,
conceptualizing here. Do we need more requirements is what we' re saying?
I 'm trying to force us to think about this . I 'm not showing any
sensitivity but others are I guess. I guess I 'm not sure, what' s going
to happen? Tell me what ' s happening?
Batzli : It may be after you drop the child off . _
Conrad : Because between the time that you drop the child off , didn' t you
walk them to the door?
Emmings: Of course . Ladd , I always did but you know, using day care is
a real emotional thing from the standpoint of there' s a lot of anxiety.
First of all of leaving your most valuable possession with somebody else , ,
anybody else to start with. I know that the one that we used was in a
free standing facility but it was in an apartment complex and that ' s
something that we talked about a lot. It was who has access? How easy
will it be for the people who are running this facility to recognize
people who should be on the premises and people who should not be on the
premises . As a comfort factor , maybe like I say, maybe it ' s purely an
emotional kind of issue and maybe I over reacted, I don' t know. I don' t II
think so . Maybe the stuff is all designed in already.
Ellson: Doesn' t the State say all these things right now? I
C" Sue from Building Block : I think they' re all covered through the State
regulations.
g
Scott Anderson : The facility is designed for security. . .
Sue from Building Block: That ' s a State requirement, signing in and
signing out and asking for ID' s . On your State forms , you have to have
who can pick up the child. Anybody different has to have a signed
authorized slip from the parent and you have to be identified with a
Minnesota drivers license or picture ID. State requirement .
Roman Roos : . . . the ones that forth coming also , I think you will find
that day care is one of the most state regulated businesses that you can
possibly get into . I can ' t begin to tell you what we' re going through
with State inspections . . .
Batzli : I have safety concerns again. The same ones that I had the '
first one and I don't •know what the State says they have to do or don' t
have to do so I 'm counting on the staff that they did their homework and
she came up with the 2 or 3 items that the State didn' t cover .
Headla : Did you look at the State regulations?
Dacy: Yes. They are, in general , included in your packet. The
standards Ordinance that we als are.adopting as a part of this application is currently

approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment Request #88-14 to amend Section
20-814 as follows :
(14) State licensed day care centers as part of a multi-tenant building .
Additionally, to add to Section 20-292, State Licensed Day Care Centers :
1. The site shall have loading and drop-off points designed to avoid
interferring with traffic and pedestrian movements .

IITREE PROTECTION POLICIES.
Erhart : If this is easy to do , I 'm all for it. I still have a little
' hard time understanding why, we basically handle Class 2 wetlands. If
someone smells a Class 2 wetland out there , somehow we can ' t let him, can
you prohibit him from wrecking it and I think we do it effectively. I
' can ' t understand why we have been effective in preserving trees . If we
have to do a whole great big overlay and make a drawing of all the trees
in the City, that ' s fine . It ' s just a lot of work. I just have a hard
time understanding why we have to do that. But if that' s what we have to
do , that ' s fine.
Batzli : It seems to me you could do aerial photos and do it really
1 easily.
Dacy: There ' s more implications in wetland areas as far as buildability
and poorer soils and so forth. Trees add value to the lot and so on.
Conrad : So our direction to staff is to proceed?
Dacy: Yes, we' re going to take this onto the Council .
Emmings : Along with the issue of blending .
Batzli : And blending and without appearing to be trite on this tree
protection policy, I think it is something that we definitely need to do
as well as the blending. I think we' re kind of giving it a little bit of
short trip since it' s so late but I think it is very important .

Headla : On tree protection , on the land next door to me. I see this
great big shovel going down to the lake. This is great big steel tracks
and I don ' t know how many tons . They just barely fit between two oaks .
They' re hauling rock down there for the storm drainage. He comes back up
and gets another load of rock and goes down again . I don' t know if
you' re familiar with those. You disturb those roots by driving a tractor
' past it a few times and disturb those roots , 3 to 4 years they' re gone.
Now these two oaks are old oaks . I thought we were going to protect
those trees . They' re going to be dead . I 'd bet a paycheck with anybody.
Conrad: How would you stop that Dave?
Headla : You don' t drive stuff down there.
Conrad: But how do you want to do that? Larry can' t be out there
telling them. Do we need an ordinance that says don' t drive within 10
' feet of an oak? What do you want?
Headla : They had a tree plan. That should be in that tree plan .
' Erhart: I think what we should do, we should pay special attention to
oak. It' s not just that but I mean , trimming oak trees in the spring is
an absolute no no and if we' re going to go through this , we ought to
Iincorporate some words in there .
Conrad: Are we looking for guidelines?
' Headla : Yes .
Conrad : Which means enforcement but at least the guidelines should be
there. So we should be chartering staff to be looking for guidelines
that talk about construction in areas . That talk about simply
operational procedures to preserve what ' s there. That makes sense .
I don ' t know that we can moniter it. There ' s no way.
Headla: If we can improve the situation 30%, we ' re way ahead.
Batzli : And you ' re going to go after the people that are flagrantly
violating it. If one person drives over an oak tree root once, you ' re
not going to catch them anyway.
Erhart : A lot of people just don ' t know about oak trees . They go into a
development and they go beat up the trees. If you scratch or break an
oak tree in the spring .
Conrad : A lot of people don' t know about the whole root system of some
of those plants and they start planting dirt around it. The last item
Barbara is you. I think for myself, as I told you on the phone , I 'm
really sorry to lose you. Chanhassen is losing an outstanding planner .
I ' ve just been so impressed with what has been done in the last year by
IL so few people. I wish you the best.

Dacy: I think it' s a fair statement to say that I ' ve really grown here
at Chanhassen the last four years. I 'm definitely not the same person I
was four years ago , both personally and professionally. I really
appreciate the Commission' s patience Ladd. Some of you older members .
If I can work with the same type of people up in Fridley, I ' ll just be
ecstatic.
