' SUBJ: Adoption of Lake Lucy Road Final Assessment Roll
File No. 85-19
I The public hearing for the Lake Lucy Road Assessment Hearing was
held June 27, 1988 ( see minutes portion of packet for hearing
minutes) . There were seven letters of objection received by the
I Council at this public hearing. Staff has done field reviews of
the concerns raised by the objecting parties. The attached staff
memorandum addresses some of the concerns based on recent site
reviews. In addition to these comments , I offer the following
Ipoints of verification:
1. Reinhold Guthmiller - June 22 , 1988 Letter - See attached
IJune 23 , 1988 City response letter.
2 . Larry and Kathy Kerber - June 26 , 1988 Letter - The attached
I April 21 , 1986 City Council meeting minutes shed some light
on the history of the 400 feet "tarred" roadway in front of
the Kerber property. As stated therein , it appears that this
road actually over the years was tarred and dust coated and
I patched a number of times to the point where it actually took
on the appearance of a paved surface. There still was con-
siderable question as to the integrity of this roadway
I including its base and some sections of the blacktop which
had apparently started to warp since it was approximately 10
years old. The property apparently also received a modest
I $600 per unit assessment which seems very reasonable for 10
years of use of the blacktop surface. It was therefore
concluded that for all practical purposes the useful life of
the roadway had been expended and the abutting properties had
Ireceived full value for their assessment.
3 . James and Doris Mielke - June 24, 1988 Letter - The attached
I staff memorandum addresses many of the issues in the Mielke
letter. I personally have been involved in discussions with
the Mielke' s to establish the curb cut on the west side of
IIthe property to prevent drainage from entering and washing
I

out the Mielke driveway. I am frustrated to see that this
curb cut has been filled in. Without the curb cut , I am not
surprised to see that they are continuing to have drainage
washout problems. Opening up of the cut will trap the
majority of runoff before it hits the driveway.
Concerning the western visibility for this driveway, a hidden I
driveway sign has been installed as a part of the project to
caution drivers in this area. The City has done fill and
grading on the Mielke property to the tune of over $2,200.
Likewise, additional gravel had been placed in the driveway
area to provide a more gradual slope. This driveway was
located in a tough visibility and access location even before
Lake Lucy Road improvements . With the widening of the road
the side slope could not be cut back any further without
doing severe damage to the large stand of trees on the west
side of the Mielke property. Additional gravel could be
placed in the driveway section to provide a landing zone if
directed by the Council which would assist in winter access
to the roadway.
4. James and Jeanne Kraker - June 23 , 1988 Letter - Concerning
the notice on the feasibility study, City records show that
Mr. Merrill Steller was the owner of the property at the time
of the feasibility study approval in May, 1986 , not May ,
1987. Mr. Steller was properly notified at that time. The
property was sold to the Krakers on November 1 , 1986 .
Concerning the request to pay off the smaller assessment in
item 4 of his letter , the actual final assessment roll com-
bines these two assessments into one assessment. The preli-
minary roll was split strictly to show how the individual
assessments were calculated for Steller Court and Lake Lucy
Road, respectively. The final roll , as noted on page 5 ,
shows one total assessment for the property, which will
appear on his taxes if not paid within the 30 day grace
period.
5 . Don Mezzenga (The Greenery) - June 27, 1988 Letter - Again, '
see staff report from Allan Larson for comment. Mr.
Mezzenga ' s concerns are primarily that of deferred assessment
which are addressed in the City Manager ' s memorandum on this
topic.
6. Warren Phillips - June 27 , 1988 Letter - See staff memorandum
from Allan Larson and July 7, 1988 memo from McCombs Frank
Roos. I will personally see to it that Public Works follows
up to address the concerns as noted in Allan Larson 's com-
ments.
Concerning other items brought up by Mr. Phillips at
the public hearing , I am pursuing the addition of a light on
the west end of Lake Lucy Road at County Road 117 and will be
talking with the County concerning Mr. Phillips' other
request for directional signs to be re-established on County
Road 117 indicating the Lake Lucy Road intersection.

7. Elizabeth Glaccum - June 27 , 1988 Letter - I have attached a
preliminary assessment amortization schedule for the
' Council' s benefit to evaluate the financial impact specifi-
cally to this property. This information was provided to Ms.
Glaccum as requested the day of the public hearing. Again,
the City Manager ' s memo concerning deferrment of assessments
is pertinent to her concerns .
Attached is a copy of a May 6 , 1985 complaint letter for old Lake
' Lucy Road.
My review of the letters of objections lead me to conclude that
' no further adjustments to the assessment amounts are warranted.
The City Manager has addressed the assessment deferral issue. I
therefore would recommend that the attached final assessment roll
' for the Lake Lucy Road project dated July 11 , 1988 should be
adopted and certified to the County for payment of taxes starting
in 1989.

SUBJ: Deferment Questions 1
Note: Recognizing the time delay in seeking written opinions,
the following was read to both the City Attorney and City
Auditor. Their respective recommendation to the questions
posed are show below.
Facts
Lake Lucy Road was bonded and constructed in 1987. It was pro-
posed to be approximately 20% assessed and 80% paid via state
aid. The assessable bond payments were set in the: feasibility
study, hearing ordering project, and bond sale documents to start
in 1989 and end in 1997 (8 years - even principal) .
Questions
Should the City consider deferring any of the proposed
assessments? Say for frontages over 400 feet? '
Attorney Response
- Assessments must be uniform. Deferring a 420 ft. assessment 1
while not deferring a 380 ft. assessment would not be uniform.
- Deferments can only be (state law) considered for unimproved
lands ( no homes/improvements) . An exception would be for
senior citizens/handicapped property owners demonstrating
financial need (deferment accrues with interest until death or
change in ownership) .
City Manager (General Concurrence by Auditor)
- Special deferments are not considered as an asset for audit
purposes . Moody' s would see the underlying bonds (without some
Mayor and City Council
July 11, 1988
Page 2
' other form of asset) as being an unfunded liability - not a
good conclusion in a rating form.
' - Special deferments are difficult to keep track of as no easy
means exist to tell if the owner died, property sold, etc.
' - The principal and interest payments on the bonds must be paid.
If all or a portion of the assets to pay the bonds ( special
assessments) are deferred, the City must use alternative
financing or make general obligation levies, during the
' deferral period, to insure that the bonds can be paid.
- The City faced a severe crisis because of deferred assessments
' associated with the Bonds of 1972/73 . The problem was one of
knowing the impact of the deferments (not addressed until the
late 1970 ' s ) and the significant interest accumulation costs .
Returning to that type of situation cannot be recommended. pee/

SUBJ: Response to Letters of Objection to ,
Lake Lucy Road Assessments
File No. 85-19
James Mielke Letter dated June 24, 1988
I have reviewed the water runoff this letter addresses. During 1
construction of Lake Lucy Road, a curb cut was placed on the west
side of Mr. Mielke' s driveway as well as a drainage swale which
was directed to a 12-inch culvert under his driveway. This was 1
constructed to prevent storm water from going down the driveway
during a heavy storm causing the driveway to wash out.
From my field inspection on June 29, 1988, the drainage swale has '
been filled by someone and small rocks have been placed at the
curb cut . The drainage swale should be restored to prevent the
washout problem.
Don Mezzenga Letter (The Greenery) dated June 27, 1988
The grade of Lake Lucy Road was raised at the west end to meet
Galpin Boulevard.
Although the new grade exceeds the natural ground line in some ,
locations by 10 feet +, the roadway has a free area behind the
curb of 3 to 4 feet before it goes into a side slope of 3 :1 .
This design was approved by State Aid. ,
Warren Phillips Letter dated June 27, 1988
From my field review, the hole left from the removal of an '
electric pole that had not been filled still remained and could
be easily filled by street maintenance staff with less than
yard of material being required.

' As for the mailboxes and sign post , I see nothing wrong with the
installation of the "metal" mailbox structure, however , the sign
post has a concrete base extending above ground by 2 to 3 inches.
' This can also be fixed by the Street Maintenance staff by placing
dirt around this pole at the same time they fill the electric
pole hole.
As for the side slopes being difficult maintain, a large portion
of this area has already been maintained by mowing and the rest
has been left in a natural state.

Dear Mr. Warren,
I am writing in objection to the proposed assessments I
for the Lake Lucy Road Improvement Project No. 85-19 covering
storm drainage and roadway construction. My Parcel No. is
25-0035100 and my proposed assessment is for $4945. 05. My
II
objections are as follows:
1. Of my 316 feet of frontage, I have approximately 22
feet which constitutes my driveway. The other 294 feet
II
fronts my wetlands area which goes back about 300 feet from
the road. This is not buildable land and I have received no
detailed formula showing how the assessment was arrived at,
much less if I am being credited for wetlands acreage.
II
2. This project, in my opinion, is benefitting A) a
developer who sold his land, made a profit, and is not
personally paying an assessment, B) anyone with a drivers'
II
licence and a car, C) anyone wishing to enjoy a recreational
walkway and bikepath, and D) The City of Chanhassen whD has
removed 80 acres from green acres status generating minimal I
taxes to 20 single family lots generating substantially more
taxes. I am not benefitting in the least from this project.
Before the project, I could count the number of cars up and
down the road on one hand and have two fingers left over.
II
Today the traffic is continuous. I liked my dirt road and
my peace and quiet and this has been taken away from me.
AND I MUST PAY FOR THIS ANNOYANCE?
II
I am a small farmer and I raise goats, sheep, hogs and
have a few horses. I am not large enough to be able to
participate in any of the governments farm subsidy programs
and this assessment would be a burden to me and my family. II
Assessing over 8, 10 or even 15 years would still be a
burden and of no use to me as a tax write-off.
3. Since February of 1986 I have received no update on
I
how the Lake Lucy Road properties are being assessed and by
what formula (as I stated previously) . The last I was
informed of was that 45 of the properties were being
II
assessed at one rate and 3 properties (mine being one of
which) were being assessed at twice that rate. Just what
rates are the 48 properties being assessed? If someone were
to hand you a bill for $4945. 05, wouldn' t you want an
II
itemization of the charges?

I A few years ago my taxes went up as a result of the
sewer project on the northeast corner of the city. I will
never enjoy the use of that sewer project, but my neighbors
in that area will and I have always been happy to help a
I neighbor. A lot of folks in Chanhassen have that same "Help
a Neighbor" spirit and that' s what makes us such a good
strong community and a great place to live. Most everyone
I in Chanhassen will someday enjoy the use of Lake Lucy Road
and or Bikeways. Therefore, wouldn' t it be fair to ask our
neighbors in the other areas of the city to "Help a
Neighbor"? I 'll pay my share.
I matter.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this
.

Re: Objection to Assessments for Lake Lucy Road
Improvement Project No. 85-19
Dear Mr. Guthmiller:
Pursuant to your letter dated June 22 , 1988 objecting to the
assessments for Lake Lucy Road, I offer the following:
To finance this project , a combination of special assessments and
Minnesota State Aid Funds was used. Over 76% of the project
costs were paid from the City' s Municipal State Aid Fund to
recognize the benefit to the City as a whole. The assessment
rates and policies used in preparation of the role are as
follows:
A. Phase 1 and 3 consisted of upgrading that portion of Lake
Lucy Road from Lake Lucy Highlands Addition to County Road
17 , as well as Lake Lucy Lane from Lake Lucy Road to Pheasant
Hills Addition. The rate of $11. 25 per front foot was used
which is the equivalent cost of grading and overlaying the
existing road with a 24-foot bituminous mat and two four-foot
shoulders. The mat and shoulders used were a 5-ton residen-
tial design or 3i inches thick.
B. Phase 2 consisted of constructing a new alignment of Lake
'
g e
Lucy Road through the Lake Lucy Highlands plat to County Road
117 (Galpin Boulevard) . The rate of $22. 20 per front foot
was used which is the cost for an equivalent new street in •
the rural area. This rate is based on the standard
Chanhassen 5-ton residential street design , 32 feet wide with
bituminous curbs.
C. Phase 4 consisted of constructing Steller Court off of Lake
Lucy Road. The cost for Steller court will be totally
assessed to the five lots abutting the cul-de-sac. These
lots are also subject to an assessment for Lake Lucy Road,
equivalent to one-half lot assessment for each corner lot. '

IAs well as the street improvement, storm sewer construction is
integral with the street construction and storm sewer costs are
Iincluded in the street assessment.
Lots abutting wetlands as identified on the Chanhassen Wetlands
Map received a wetland credit for non-usable frontage.
ICorner lots abutting existing roadways received a credit equal to
one-half of the narrower of the two frontages.
IYour Property Assessment
I The feasibility study listed assessable frontage of 316 feet with
a proposed assessment of $7,015 .20 for your property.
During the development of the final assessment roll, applying the
I policies stated above, your assessable frontage was reduced to
222. 75 feet. This incorporates a wetland credit of 93 .25 feet.
This generates a total assessment of $4,945 .05 using a rate of
I $22.20 per foot. This is a reduction of $2 ,070.15 from the
feasibility estimate.
I hope this answers your questions as to either the formula or
Ipolicy used in developing this assessment.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to call.

Don Ashworth,
We have recieved your letter en the Lake Lucy Road Improvement ,
No. 85-19, which levies an assessment against our property in the
amount of $1,191.38.
We object to this assessment. Prior to the new road construction
our property was served with a blacktop road approximately ,
pp tely 6" thick.
It had adequate base material. The shoulders were graded, seeded, and ,
easy to maintain. There was net one patch in the old blacktop surface
before removal.
The new road past our property is nothing more than a replacement
of the old road. Our property recieved no benefit from this '
s pro3ect.
We therefore ask that the entire assessment for our parcel, (#25-0021000),
be waived.
Thank You.
Respectfully yo . s

' roads was you really do have a conflict here. You are at the very edge of Municipal and Service
area. You've got some areas developing within that area, some developing outside and you've got a lot
of long time residents who want a rural atmosphere in this area. You definitely have a clash or a mixing
of things that just don't go together. In the report we tried to come up with a method to go back and
forth between paying for the improvement. We are proposing that Pheasant Hill get assessed for all
the frontage, but also proposed the City realizes the need for cross connections of roadways for allowing
Imultiple outlets for those who use Yosemite and other roads that people have a multitude of ways to
go through a neighborhood. It's the entire reason or basis behind such a heavy state aid participation
in even recommending the City participate the level of $468,000. A couple of details, as far as the
cul de sac for the time being we have shown the easement going to the north and it would mean that we
I might have to require additional right—of—way and that has been included in the report. Again, the
proposal to extend the road is not to service any individual, but is trying to meet the City's respon—
sibility to service the areas properly. These lots all back on the road and some of the lots on here
Ihave no direct rent access. The major question here #15 here as the individual stated here, they could
change their access to come off Crestview or come off Galpin. You have to go around this way to work.
•I cannot deny, if the access comes out this way, and they should ever want to go downtown, they would
have to come around come back this way. That's basically a detail of the parts you could get. Our
I major intent was to service the properties while disconnecting this access which I felt was very important
to the overall project. I'm going to take a chance here. Of course, I haven't been here that long.
Mr. Harvey did bring up to me the point of paying something for assessments, or whatever. I went back
and talked to Henry Rase, City Street Superintendent. He remembers walking the street with the County
Engineer and asking the County Engineer whether the road was whether the base was sound and all I remember
is the County Engineer nodding and walking away. This was basically tarred a number of times, he put
it and the only thing I could come up with was that as it was dust coated or tarred, that the residents
were asked to pay something for that surface. The only reason that the street kind of turned to blacktop
•
eventually that after so many applications of tar, that it got to the point that where the potholes were
asphalt was put in and that's basically how the street got paved in the first place.
To answer the question, there's about 400 feet in here as Mr. Kerber stated. I did go back after he
I \< called to take a look at past assessments. We are recommending that the 36 foot section go all the
way for conformity to Powers Boulevard. In going back to assessment roles, it did conform that the
previous owner was assessed on this parcel some very long parcel was assessed on five sewer and water
with no street frontage. Mr. Clark, right here, was assessed one unit with street frontage and the .
I ( street frontage totals $600 per unit. Mr. Irboe was assessed a unit where he got no street frontage
and Mrs. Jakes was assessed for two houses that are here. Again, for $600. In looking at it it was
important for us to extend to 36 feet all the way just for conformity. Again, so that if the bikeways
I or trailways were put in so that they would extend all the way. The existing blacktop is not that wide.
Some sections of blacktop have started to warp and that is another reason why we thought it was a good
to take care of the entire section. I guess the recommendation comes down to a position that the existing
assessment of $600 is reasonable for 10 years of use of the blacktop section. And, so what is being
I quoted is not unreasonable in terms of what was previously assessed as far as part of the project.
Again, I'd like to note that this is a Feasibility Study. The reason that everybody got copies of it
was because we knew this type of discussion would take place. In calling a public hearing, the
. can Council can direct Staff to revise the study in any way, shape or form that it sees fit and when
�� you do so for the public hearing. I think that it's important that the road get paved. I don't agree
that we are trying to transfer the major portion on here again. I think $11.25 is very reasonable given
that the existing rate in most subdivisions that we have been approving is anywhere from $25_
that it is for 90 foot lots and there is a big difference here. What we have attemptedato.
do though would be $11 is that even a larger parcel on still have assessments fairly close to what even
an early one urban lot has right now. They are between $2500 and $4000 a lot. And, that's about what �''
I we've got here. It's just the way it worked out. Again, I think that it's fairly reasonable. I won't
attempt to downplay the residents-problems or believe that I am against them all because we are in a
little bit of a different situation. I just can't answer that.
Councilman Gevino: I just have one question. It seems to be a natural one. What about all the people
who live on Yosemite and are really virtually land mark in terms of getting in and out of their property?

TO: Gary Warren, City Engineer 1
FROM: Jeffrey Roos, Project Engineer
DATE: July 7, 1988

SUBJECT: Surface Drainage
Lake Lucy Road I
MFRA #7810
At the assessment hearing, a concern was expressed by Warren Phillips '
regarding the impacts that this project had on the drainageway which meanders
along the westerly portion of his property. He also implied that he would hold
the City responsible for future problems, should they occur.
II
The project did not change the boundaries of the drainage area which flows
into this drainageway. The drainage area comprised approximately 48 acres of
II
which 0.75 acres was roadway surface. The project increased the roadway
surface from 0.75 acres to 0.90 acres, so in effect, only 0.3% of the drainage
basin surface was changed. This does not significantly change the volumes of II runoff from rainfalls.
The project also did not significantly affect the drainage patterns in that
area. There was no work done outside the roadway, so the only change was to
II
direct the road surface drainage to road level gutters rather than roadside
ditches. The majority of the drainage still ends up in the swale between the
Phillips property and the Mielke property. I
During the course of the project, we had two meetings with Mr. Phillips in
which he expressed his view that by taking the drainage out of the ditches, II some flow reduction from absorbtion was lost. It was at these meetings that we
agreed to install some curb cuts to try to redirect the gutter flows back into
the ditches.
At the hearing, Mr. Phillips also commented on the alternate drainage plan II
we looked at during the plan preparation stage of this project. The
feasibility report indicated that drainage improvements associated with the y II
street would follow existing patterns. The construction plans were then
prepared in accordance with the feasibility report. However, prior to
submitting the plans to the City Council, we had a neighborhood meeting and .

reviewed the lans with the
P residents. The possibility of redirecting the
drainage on the north side of Lake Lucy Road, west of Yosomite Avenue, was
' brought up. The drainage could be redirected, via piping or special ditches,
to the drainage basin lying immediately west. That alternative was looked at
and found to be too costly. It required 500 feet of storm sewer at depths up
' to 18 feet. I recall discussing it and saying it would be considered, but not
guaranteeing it.
Mr. Phillips and others also had concerns about some trapped pockets of
water outside the roadway area and would have liked to seen those removed. Our
response was that this was restricted to a roadway project and only drainage
facilities directly associated with road needs could be considered.
In summary, we do not discount the concerns regarding drainage, but we
don't feel this project has increased the potential for problems resulting from
runoff flows. The roadway drainage facilities have been designed to handle 20
year frequency storms. Major storms, such as the July 23rd storm, will still
cause heavy flows and problems, but no more so now than before. A
comprehensive drainage system for the entire basin would be best, and is
' something that could be considered in the future.

Dear Council members:
I am a property owner at 1510 Lake Lucy Road, Chanhassen Minnesota. I have '
owned this property since 1965. I am not objecting to the assessment being
presented at tonights meeting toward my property, I'm sure you are being
fair. I would, however, like to make an4 appeal that my payments be ex-
tended over a longer period of time. As they stand now after talking with
Jean Mauverssen, treasurer, my payments would be almost $60.00 per month
the first year, then alittle lower per year. The position I am in financ-
ially right now in life, this would be hard to meet. Looking ahead with
water assessments an hook up in next year or so then eventually sewer and
hook up, I see myself finally being assessed out of Chanhhassen.
Would you please consider my case to the payments of my individual assess-
ment on this improvement to the road. It would be embarassing to me at
an open meeting to explain this. I am not trying to get out of paying
just because I am low income, just need it to be stretched out or waived
until sale of property at a future date. -
I am not 65 years of age or older, or retired or didabled. Therefor, I I
ask the council there advice. Hoping to hear from you soon and that I
did this right, I remain.. ..
