Since that time, there have been a series of work sessions by the Planning Commission, Park and Recreation Commission, and City Council. There have also been several articles in the local paper, the Chanhassen Villager. On April 22, 1998, a Town Meeting/Open House was held. The Plan is now ready for a public hearing before the Planning Commission. At the April 22, 1998, Town Meeting, staff estimates that there were approximately 80 people in attendance. There were questions on many different elements of the plan but no clear consensus on policy direction. There seemed to be general agreement on the direction the city is going. We know that the library board is still concerned about the priority of the capital investment plan. They believe they should be a higher priority. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 17, 1998 and September 2, 1998. The Planning Commission and the City Council met on two occasions (June 29 and August 3) to discuss the following issues of the comprehensive plan: vision statement, transportation, school district needs, amphitheater and the fiscal impacts of the proposed land uses. The comprehensive plan is the city's growth document and the vision for the future. The comprehensive plan includes elements of Land Use, Housing, Natural Resources, Parks and Open Space, Transportation, Sewer and Water, and Capital Improvements. The plan is designed to serve as a guide for the local decision making process. Many of the goals of the 1991 Comprehensive Plan have been met. For example, the City's Storm Water Management Plan, and encouraging the cooperative effort hc City OrC!JfllI!JflSSeI1.

Don Ashworth September 8, 1998 Page 2 between the school district and the city (Bluff Creek Elementary and the Recreation Center), completion of the Highway 5 Corridor Study, which revisited land uses and provided locations for the access boulevard, and most recently the Bluff Creek Natural Resources Plan. The plan addresses future roads, public facilities (including the library), land uses including the amount of residential, industrial, and commercial phasing of the municipal services (sewer and water), life cycle housing, and recreation and open space needs. Copies of the plan are available at city hall. The Sewer and Water as well as Transportation sections have been completed by the consultants since the Planning Commission last reviewed these elements in a work session. The Sewer and Water element also serves as a stand alone document. The section has been included in the comprehensive plan, but a more detailed document is attached separately for your review. More importantly it has been included for the criteria for the Metropolitan Council approval. The Transportation Plan was completed by SRF Consultants, who also did the Carver County Transportation update. There may be some future modifications if Carver County makes some changes to their plan. One of the most important features of the transportation section is the functional classifications and discussion of the system wide improvements that we will need to meet ultimate development. The Storm Water Management Plan is also an element of the Comprehensive Plan but because it has already been approved by the City and the Met Council, it is not being included for your review at this time. There has been input from property owners currently outside the MUSA such as Erhart, Fox and Zwiers regarding the MUSA expansion and timing for urban services. Staff supports the MUSA phasing as proposed in the plan because it represents an orderly, efficient, and fiscally responsible proposal (see attached Erhart, Fox, and Zwiers letters). After the council adopts the plan that are a few rezoning and land use changes that need to be made to ensure that the zoning and land use are consistent. These properties include that Schroeders located at the comer of the old St. Hubert's property, the BF district located at the southern end of the city and the commercial center located on Hwy. 7 and 41. Analvsis Following are the proposed changes to the comprehensive plan. Draft Comp Plan Changes August 11, 1998 Page 3 Vision Statement The Planning Commission recommended that the comp plan address more specifically the vision of the Highway 5 Corridor Study, Bluff Creek Watershed Natural Resources Management Plan and The Storm Water Management Plan. The staff is proposing the following be added to the introduction section of the land use section (page 1). Highway 5 Corridor Study "The City of Chanhassen has determined that the Highway 5 corridor and the development within it will be major factors influencing the visual and environmental quality of the whole community. At full development, the corridor will contain Chanhassen's central business district, other retail nodes, regionally significant employment concentrations, public institutions, recreational facilities, and significant residential development. Due to the intensity of these land uses, the Highway 5 corridor represents the heart of Chanhassen, as well as its dominating image to those passing through the community. The importance of this corridor, the city undertook a number of studies designed to culminate in a Highway 5 Corridor Plan. The plan is intended to promote orderly and attractive development of land within the corridor in a manner consistent with established goals and policies. Development in the corridor is expected to be designed with greater sensitivity to the environment and higher quality than might have occurred in the absence of the specific guidelines created through this planning effort. The purpose of the plan is to protect creek corridors, wetlands and significant stands of mature trees, promote high-quality architectural and site designs, create a unified, harmonious, and high- quality visual environment and foster a positive community image for the city ofChanhassen." Bluff Creek Watershed Natural Resources Management Plan "The City of Chanhassen is at the edge between the Great Prairie region and the Big Woods Region. The city has both rural and urban characteristics. The Bluff Creek Watershed offers the opportunity to exercise the highest qualities of civic responsibility and environmental stewardship. As a natural resource, this waterway presents rare aesthetic and recreational possibilities. As a wild sanctuary, the valley cut by Bluff Creek provided a vital wildlife habitat and refuge from surrounding urbanization. As a part of a regional ecosystem is exists as an essential line to recreational parkways and wildlife preserves. The goals of the Watershed Management Plan are to protect, restore and enhance the natural resource, create a continuous green way along the creek from the Minnesota River to Lake Minnewashta, manage upstream development for ecological protection through development Draft Comp Plan Changes August 11, 1998 Page 4 options such as mixed or cluster development easements or alternative zoning and education and awareness of the watershed." Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) "The SWMP incorporates three surface water elements: storm water quality and quantity, wetlands and lakes. The plan puts special emphasis on preserving and enhancing DNR protected wetlands, plans for future development and growth to reduce the greatest extent the public capital expenditures necessary to control excessive volumes. The plan also recommends rates of runoff to minimize flooding, erosion and sedimentation from surface flow. The goals of the plan are improve quality in all protected water bodies and lakes to preserve and enhance wetlands and to protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat to promote groundwater recharge, preserve and improve water recreational facilities." Fiscal Impacts The city manager has prepared a fiscal impact to show that new homes help subsidize the existing growth. I have attached the manager's report to show the rationale. As stated previously, the city could provide more commercial or industrial land uses but staff believes that the proposed land use recommendations are a continuation of the Hwy. 5 and Bluff Creek Plans. Citizen input was incorporated into these plans and the recommendation has been well received by the public. I believe it would be premature to change the guiding on any land use at this time. It is always important to review the plan goals and policies every 5 years and staff has made that a goal of the plan. As part of the Planning Commission's review of the Comprehensive Plan, staff was requested to investigate whether the proposed land uses maintained an appropriate mix of tax base which would lead to an economically stable and fiscally responsible community. Specifically, the Planning Commission requested that staff look at the proportionality of the land uses to ascertain the potential impacts of the land uses on the city's financial ability to implement the comprehensive plan. Without going into a complete fiscal impact analysis which would attempt to measure the difference between growth related tax revenues and growth related operating and capital costs, staffhas limited its review to "proportionality" of the land uses, in particular, looking at the changes is tax capacity. Based on this review, Commercial-Industrial tax capacity almost triples, increasing an estimated 194 percent by 2020 from $6,892,874 to $20,268,081, while residential tax capacity and population almost doubles, increasing from $14,015,799 to $29,538,138 and 18,331 to approximately 36,000, respectively. Draft Comp Plan Changes August 11, 1998 Page 5 YEAR 1998 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 Residential Tax Capacity $14,015,799 $15,307,138 $18,864,888 $22,422,638 $25,980,388 $29,538,138 Commercial Tax Capacity $ 6,892,874 $ 7,821,796 $14,524,796 $15,580,796 $16,686,796 $20,268,081 Total Tax Capacity $20,908,673 $23,128,934 $33,389,684 $38,003,434 $42,667,184 $49,806,219 As a share of total tax capacity, residential tax capacity is reduced from 67 percent of the tax capacity in 1998 to 59 percent of total tax capacity in 2020. Commercial-Industrial tax capacity increases from 33 percent to 41 percent of total tax capacity during this period. (In developing these projections, staff has assumed conservative values for future development. All values are 1998 numbers in this analysis which discounts the effect of inflation. No intensification of uses were assumed as part of any Planned Unit Development.) To determine year 2000 estimated market values, staff used average building permit valuations for residential development and added 20 percent for land value to estimate total residential valuation. For 2000 commercial-industrial development, staff added 20 percent to the building permit values for all permitted development. For the balance of2000 commercial-industrial development valuation, staff assumed that only developments which had received site plan approval would be built. Staff assumed valuations of $35 per square foot for office warehouse buildings, $60 per square foot for commercial buildings, and $70 per square foot for office buildings. For all other years, staff assumed each five year period would have 1,000 single family detached units and 500 multi-family units. Average valuation for single family detached units was assumed to be $225,600 which represents the average building permit valuation from 1996 through 1998. Twenty percent was added to average building valuation to get the total valuation. For multi-family units, $134,400 was the assumed average valuation. This represents the average valuation for development between 1996 and 1998. Again, 20 percent was added to get the total valuation. For future commercial-industrial valuations, staff assumed that all the commercial-industrial lands within the MUSA areas five years before would be developed, see MUSA Expansion Plan (i.e., for 2005 valuation all commercial-industrial lands within the existing MUSA and the year 2000 MUSA expansion areas would be developed). Staff then used $35 per square foot for office/warehouse buildings, $60 per square foot for commercial buildings, and $70 per square foot for office buildings. Building square footages assumed a floor area ratio of 0.225 on net acres. Draft Comp Plan Changes August 11, 1998 Page 6 As a check on staff assumptions for commercial-industrial land uses, staff also performed a commercial-industrial land consumption. Over the last four years an average of 47.8 acres of commercial-industrial development was developed (see attached Commercial and Industrial List). We assumed this rate would continue in the future. In 1997, approximately 457 net acres of commercial-industrial land were vacant in the existing MUSA area. From that, staff subtracted 85 acres of approved development to achieve a starting point for future projects. For each future five year increment, staff added the additional commercial-industrial net acres for the MUSA expansion period, then subtracted out 239 acres of development. Carrying out this analysis through the 2015 MUSA expansion area (which equates to the 2020 tax capacity), staff discovered that there is an approximate balance between commercial-industrial land uses and projected demand. However, between 2010 and 2020 there appears to be an excess of demand over available land uses unless the MUSA expansion is accelerated to incorporate the commercial-industrial land along existing Highway 212. School District 112 Staffhas reviewed the request made by District 112 for two elementary school sites and a secondary school site. The acreage required for an elementary site is 40 acres and 80 acres for a secondary school site. Staff is proposing the following sites for schoollocations--on the Eckankar site on the northeast corner of Hwys. 5 and 41; and south of Lyman just east of Bluff Creek; and west of proposed TH 212. (see attached map). Any of these sites may provide an opportunity to co-locate another public facility such as the library. Notices were sent to the affected property owners regarding the proposed changes in land use. They were notified of the planning commission meetings as well as the fact that the plan must be adopted by the city council. Staff is recommending the following changes to the land use section of the comprehensive plan: Office/Institutional (page 9) "District 112 is seeking three additional school sites. The following sites have been identified as potential school sites 1) the Eckankar site, 2) the northwest corner ofHwys. 5 and 41, and 3) south of Lyman east of Bluff Creek. The city is not proposing to acquire any property at this time. The underlying land use is still in place." Amphitheater The amphitheater is addressed in the parks and open space element of the comprehensive plan. This discussion will be expanded to include the following possible location northwest corner of Hwys. 5 and 41. The amphitheater is another opportunity to partner with some other park and Draft Comp Plan Changes August 11, 1998 Page 7 recreation goals such as theater programming and an Arts Council. Minnewashta Regional Park already has identified an amphitheater as an element of their long range plan. Because both of the subject sites are guided as parks and open space, an amphitheater is a permitted use in this land use. Therefore, the property owners need not be notified of the change. Staff is proposing the following in the Parks and Open Space section of the comprehensive plan under Regional Open Space Arboretum (page 2), "The city may support the use of an outdoor amphitheater on the Arboretum property located north of Highway 5 and west of Highway 41." Community Facilities Based on the discussion regarding cooperation with other jurisdictions including school districts, library, recreation facilitates, public works expansion, staff is recommending a new policy be added to the land use section (page 12), "The city will seek to work with other jurisdictions to combine resources including city, county, Southwest Metro Transit, and the school districts: to coordinate and collaborate on mutual interpret such as a library, public work/collective waste, arts council, transit site, school, recreation, etc." Transportation As part of the original review of the transportation element, the Planning Commission stated that the element was hard to read and follow. Based on these comments, staff has edited the element to attempt to make it easier to read and less redundant in the presentation of facts, ideas, and issues. In addition, the original copy of the transportation element did not have the latest revisions worked out between the city and its consultant. We will note below the significant additions to the text. Unfortunately, due to the extensive nature of the editing, a clean copy of the changes will not be available for review prior to the hearing. Highway 5 Two issues were raised regarding Highway 5: the need to define the Highway 5 problem more clearly, and whether Highway 5 should be classified as a principal arterial. Staff believes that the first issue will be addressed through proposed editing changes and the use of highlighting to bring out the problems of Highway 5: limited capacity, system deficiencies, and diversion of traffic to local roadways. The idea of classifying Highway 5 as a principal arterial is problematic. While TH 5 provides many similar functions to TH 7 and TH 212 which are principal arterials, its designation as a principal arterial by the city would be futile and maybe even counter-productive. The close proximity of designated principal arterials, TH 7 and TH 212, do not meet the spacing guidelines (3 - 6 miles) established by the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Department of Draft Comp Plan Changes August 11, 1998 Page 8 Transportation (MNDOT). Nor does TH 5 provide continuity to the west that is required of principal arterials. Should the city make this change, we would still need the Met Council and MNDOT to change their classifications. Rather than fight over changing the designation, the city should concentrate efforts on making TH 5 four lane to TH 41 and having future TH 212 constructed which will provide reliefto TH 5. Constraints on additional right-of-way acquisition in the TH 5 corridor seriously impede efforts to have TH 5 six lanes which is what will be needed if TH 5 becomes a principal arterial and TH 212 is not constructed. TH 5 as a six lane arterial would irrevocably divide the community and reduce any sense of community the city hopes to establish. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the comprehensive plan with the following changes: 1. Change in the Parks and open space section of the comprehensive plan under Regional Open Space Arboretum (page 2), "The city may support the use of an outdoor amphitheater on the Arboretum property located north of Highway 5 and west of Highway 41." 2. Amend the Land Use, Office Institutional page (9), "District 112 is seeking three additional school sites. The following sites have been identified as potential school sites 1) the Eckankar site, 2) northwest comer of Hwys. 5 and 41, and 3) south of Lyman and east of Bluff Creek. The city is not proposing to acquire the subject property at this time. The underlying land use is still in place." 3. Amend the Land Use Introduction on page 1, the proposed vision statement of the Highway 5 Corridor Study, Storm Water Management Plan and the Bluff Creek Watershed Management Plan. 4. Amend the Transportation element to reflect the changes as proposed by staff in this report. 5. Amend the land use section (page 12) to state "the city will seek to work with other jurisdictions to combine resources including city, county, Southwest Metro Transit and the school districts to coordinate and collaborate on mutau710 interests such as a library, public works, collective waste, arts council, transit site, recreation etc. 6. Amend the Sewer and Water Policy Plan on page 9, paragraph 2 by changing". . . March and April 1998" to ". . . March and April, 1999." Draft Comp Plan Changes August 11, 1998 Page 9 7. Amend the Sewer and Water Policy Plan on page 9, paragraph 2 by adding the following to the end of paragraph: "On February 24, 1998, Carver County adopted Individual Sewage Treatment System, Ordinance No. 21E. According to Minnesota Rules Chapter 7080, the City of Chanhassen must adopt standards as strict as those set by Carver County. The city will work with Carver County on the implementation of ISTS standards and policies in the City ofChanhassen." 8. Amend Transportation Element on page 24, Other Services, by adding the following: Carver County Transportation Program (CART) CART bus service provides door to door subscription bus service for specifically scheduled routes. The service is primarily available to elderly, disabled, other transit dependent populations, and economically disadvantaged residents of Chanhassen. This service provides approximately 400 annual trips (based on 1997 survey) for Chanhassen residents. CART's Volunteer Drives program provides demand responsive service to ambulatory passengers primarily for medical and social service trips. Chanhassen residents' use of this service is approximately 1,500 annual trips (based on 1997 survey). Attachments 1. Fiscal Impacts. 2.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Don Ashworth, City Manager DATE: July?, 1998 SUBJ: Fiscal Impacts of New Development This memorandum has four components: 1) Overview; 2) Existing tax calculations; 3) Fiscal impacts of new development; and 4) Recommendation. 1) OVERVIEW I have seen fiscal impact studies, but the computer generated results are only as good as the numbers entered by the consultant/engineer and her/his assumptions. For example, let's say sewer and water through a major area of the city costs S 10M. Your attorney says he cannot defend special assessments to that level as the 30-inch pipes are larger than anyone subdivision needs. A typical Shldy would then label the 30% - 40% oversizing costs as "general obligation" and, therefore, be bad for an existing resident. This could be true, but it could also be false. Is the bird in my hand dead or alive? The Upper Bluff Creek sewer and water project is exactly the hypothetical described above, i.e. total cost, size of pipes, sustainable assessments, etc. Was I, as a taxpayer, burdened with this $3-4M deficit? No! Connection charges were set to pay system charges on a community wide basis. Will the $3-4M be paid? Yes! Was the water tower on Murray Hill repainted (major expense removing old lead base paint) via the same fees? Yes! Would I have had to pay for this had new development not occurred? Yes! [Note: Murray Hill was developed long before "connection charges" were established, and, therefore, they had no monies to pay this cost ifnew development had not occurred.] All of the points made above are true in regards to other improvements; i.e. streets, parks, etc. For example, our attorneys/appraisers advised the city that we could not sustain assessments of more than 40% of the anticipated costs of building Kerber Boulevard. We built the road and assessed 40% of its costs to the abutting properties. Did "general obligation" pick up the remaining 60%? No!

We additionally applied for and received state aid designation and the state paid 70% of the total project cost. Was collecting 50% more than a project cost the city legal? Yes. Is this scenario typical? No, but it was true of at least four projects that I am aware of and the 1997 audit report shows a healthy balance in the fund labeled "municipal state aid" even after it funded many years of "water quality projects" and suffered major damages during the "investment debacle." [Note: You need a few good projects to help those that stumble.] Another example could be the Steiner Development (41 & 5), CSM (Dell & 5), or Villages on the Pond (Market & 5). In each of these projects, we did or will assess ~90% of the project costs to the developer. The remaining 10% will come from tax increment. Could we have charged 100% of the costs to tax increment and simultaneously assessed 90%? Yes. Would this be legal? Yes. Would we have paid the entire cost of the park referendum by doing such? Yes. City councils need to make decisions each day as to what is fair and right. I think the decisions we have made are fair and justified, but my point is there are a number of ways to ensure that new development does not occur at the expense of existing homeowners. The above overview was presented to reflect my dismay with a fiscal analysis that concentrates primarily on capital costs of new development. The comprehensive planning process should not be driven by fiscal considerations - those are within your hand to live or die. Our overriding principle should solely be- What do we want this community to be? Before presenting my "Fiscal Impacts of New Development," a review of existing property values and tax calculations is in order. Following the statistics are various "Hypotheticals" which can be fallacies to any "Fiscal Impact Analysis or Formula," including my own. 2) EXISTING TAX CALCULATIONS (All Operating and Debt Expenditures) Residential Value 0-$150,000 150,000-250,000 250,000+ No. of Homes 2,500 2,000 900 5,400 Average Value (I,OOO's) 130 200 300 Average Tax Capacity 1,600 3,000 5,300 Total Tax Capacity 3.8M 5.7M 4.5M 14.0M Other Tax Class Residential-Other Rural (Ag) C & I (Hennepin) C & I (Carver) 1.0M .2M 1.3M .5M 17.0M 1998 City Tax Levy - 4.67M City Tax Rate (4.67 .;- 17.0) = 27.404% Total Tax Rate (city, county, school, misc.) = 150%. Accordingly the city's 27.4% = 18% of your tax bill) Cost per household (4.67 .;- 5400) = $865 Cost per household factoring out services to "Other tax class" = $710 Mayor and City Council July 7, 1998 Page 3 The City Council asked that tax increment revenues be included in this report. These revenues are as follows: District Tax Increment Collections TIF District #24, Arbor Business Park TIF District #25, Downtown TIF District #26, McGlynn TIF District #27, National Weather Service TIF District #28, Entertainment TIF District #29, North Bay Hennepin County District #3-1 Total 5,116 5,394,954 711,702 378,272 86,756 5,470 580,000 S6,931,176 Before I present my Fiscal Impact Model, various hypotheticals need to be presented. They are: Hypothetical Scenario #1 Assume that the growth that has occurred over the past 10-15 years had not occurred, but that our 5,400 total residential units still exist. We now become a Columbia Heights. With 5,400 units valued at less than S150,000 and a tax levy of$4.7M, our tax rate would be 50% or a whopping 85% increase. However, based on state aid formulas (under which we currently get SO), our hypothetical town would get S2.5M in state aids which would produce a net tax rate of25%. What's the bottom line? The state has massaged state aids, homestead credit, fiscal disparity contributions/distributions, etc. to virtually guarantee (rich or poor) that any city's tax levy will be within 10% of our previous 25% level. [Note: Within two years, the formula will probably kick in to reduce our current levy of27% (created by the park referendum) back to the average 25% level.] Hypothetical Scenario #2 Let's assume we all have newer houses and are all paying taxes at the higher rate for new homes (S 150,000-$250,000). In that case, our tax rate would reduce to 20% or a 40% decrease. Another way of making this same point is that a new homeowner is now paying S5,000/year in property taxes to subsidize my taxes of$3,000/year. Any "formula" developed should recognize that the 4,090 units (vacant in 1991 MUSA) proposed to be built through a plan amendment will be burdened with a significantly higher percent of the tax bill than a home built today (then being 20 years old) or mine (then being 50 years old). Hypothetical Scenario #3 The proposed comprehensive plan maintains approximately the same number of commercial/industrial properties to residential as currently exists. As commercial/industrial Mayor and City Council July 7, 1998 Page 4 property pays approximately 2-3 times more than residential property, a reduction in commercial/industrial acreage would be reasonably easy to calculate in terms of net tax difference. I will return to the start of this memorandum in terms of why we attempt to plan, i.e. to develop a community that is a community. If your definition ofa well planned community is a "no tax community," then bring in three Koch Refineries and we can put this exercise to bed. 3) FISCAL IMPACTS OF NEW DEVELOPMENT [Note: The first line under the headings 2000, 2010 and 2020 uses constant dollars for our current cost per household ($710), times the number of additional units to derive a tax rate. That line treats the 1100 additional homes in 2000 or 3000 additional homes in 2010 as isolated communities in which only they existed. The "Blended Rate" line folds their values/taxes back into the community as a whole, i.e. the tax impact for a new home in 2020 assumes that 1100 additional homes were built between now and the end of 2000 and that 3000 additional homes were built between 2000 and 2010.] No. of Add'l Average Average Tax Total Tax Costs of City Tax Capacity Rate Homes Value Capacity Capacity Services ($I,OOO's) ($710/home) Year 2000 1100 5275 54,700 5.2M .781M 18% Current Rate 27.4% Blended Rate 25.3% -2.1% (-8%) Year 2010 3000 $300 55,300 16.0M 2.13M 16.2% Blended Rate 2 I. 7% -5.7%(-21%) 13.0% Year 2020 $325 $5,700 22.8M 2.8M 17.4% 4000 -10.0% (-36%) Tax Increment - The above analysis considers tax increment as tax neutral. Why? The following analogy is not totally correct, but the bottom line is. Think of a tax increment district as a typical subdivision. As the streets are built in that subdivision and normal services extended (plowing, fire, police, etc.), the city receives the same 18% of the tax dollar from that parcel as we receive from you or 1. Tax increment districts are no different. Instant Web, Rosemount, etc. are paying 18% of their tax dollar towards operating the city. The difference is that the remaining 82% of CSM or the DataServ's taxes can be used at the discretion of the council, i.e. tax incentives to businesses, paying oversizing costs (discussed earlier), building a water tower benefiting far more than that subdivision (TI District), etc. In the above example, the losers of the 82% of the Mayor and City Council July 7, 1998 Page 5 tax dollar are Hennepin County and the State of Minnesota (technically the Eden Prairie school district), [but whatever tax they would have received from CSM will be reduced from their state aids. Therefore, they do not care if we create a district or not.] If the council has discretion in setting the amount of tax increment to be used to offset operating costs, why not set it at 36% and therefore reduce everybody's taxes? The answer is simple. You have just lit the fuse of a major time bomb; i.e. our largest district has operating expenditures of $718, 918. These expenses include street lighting, signals, maintenance, police, fire, etc. Assuming the district ceased today, our normal 18% of the tax dollar from these same parcels would produce $702,000 in tax dollars or a loss of approximately -$16,918. If the city would have set operating expenditures for this district at 1.5M, in 2003 we would be faced with firing every other employee associated with this district, answering 1 out of2 fire/police calls, etc. The minor difference between operating revenues and expenditures for this district will be corrected before 2004, but the bottom line is that this district, and all others, are "tax impact neutral." 4) RECOMMENDATION We should move ahead with the comprehensive planning process. As parcels come before us where the use is proposed to be changed to something having a detrimental tax impact, we should do what we did with the Town and Country Homes property - challenge the applicant to show where other parcels can make-up for the loss. This planning strategy has worked in the past and it will work in the future. - C G.l E >- .!2 c..

As the City may know, Carver County is currently updating its own Comprehensive Plan, and is encouraged by the participation and cooperation we have had with municipalities. VVe see this timely planning effort as an opportunity for consistency and formulation of a collective vision for the future. VVe offer the following comments at this time: GENERAL .,. In general, Chanhassen's plan for growth is in line with County policies of directing Carver County's growth to communities. In general, Chanhassen's plan for growth is in line with County policies of directing growth to existing communities where urban services exist. Growth in these areas can be more efficiently served by sewer, water, roads, and other essential services. The City of Chanhassen will absorb approximately 40% of the growth anticipated for Carver County by the year 2020. LAND USE , Because the city has no boundary with township areas where County planning and zoning applies, comments on proposed land use are limited. .,. The City's plan shows a commitment to developing and promoting increased commercial and industrial activity: a direction which compliments County policy of directing this type of growth and activity to cities. ., The County supports land use efforts which help to alleviate growing transportation concerns. Policies in the plan that encourage mixed-use developments and neighborhood commercial activities may lessen transportation trips on minor arterials. ., The County encourages Land use consistency on countywide basis. In the case of Chanhassen, much of the land uses in surrounding cities will be of an urban nature. Planning and implementation of land uses which maintain consistency with neighboring cities' land use is important to maintain community identity and reduce land use conflicts. Coordination with the cities of Chaska and Victoria is encouraged. 04.0;/11111//11' ,''''lioll/Elf/wl Opporlllllit)' Ell/plover f'ril:rci/ (ill I{)';{ l'ost,COllslII/u'r Recycled Paper TRANSPORTATION >- The City of Chanhassen has been involved with Carver County's recent transportation planning effort. The City has based its traffic forecasts using the same modeling procedure as the County and has followed a similar plan for planned highway and County corridors. The plan is generally consistent with preliminary direction of the County's Transportation Plan. Coordination with the City should continue as these plans are implemented. >- The trail component discusses a very active approach to development of trails. Planning efforts by the County and the region are intended to create a more comprehensive and cohesive trail system than exists to date. The opportunities for coordination between the City, County and region should be closely monitored for compatibility and intent. ~ The County encourages policies which support and implement transit friendly infrastructure. Specific policies supported by the County are those which implement park and ride facilities, develop pedestrian/bicycle connections, and coordinate with County, State, and Federal infrastructure projects. Since much of the transportation demand in Carver County is generated by households, and employers in Chanhassen, the County encourages the City to accommodate transit-friendly infrastructure where it is feasible. ., The plan should make mention of the two existing transit services available to Chanhassen residents through the Carver County Transportation Program (CART). CART bus service provides door to door subscription bus service for specifically scheduled routes. The service is primarily available to the elderly, disabled, other transit dependent populations, and economically disadvantaged residents of Chanhassen. This service provides approximately 400 annual trips (based on 1997 survey) for Chanhassen residents. CART's Volunteer Drivers program provides demand responsive service to ambulatory passengers primarily for medical and social service trips. Chanhassen residents use of this service equates to approximately 1,500 annual trips (based on 1997 survey). PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE ., The County is currently in the process of preparing a Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan as part of its 2020 comprehensive plan. Based on preliminary efforts of this process, it appears that there are little or no conflicting policies/direction between the City and County plan. The opportunities for coordination between the City and the County should be closely monitored for both the parks and trail component. It is anticipated that a draft of this plan will be available in Sep. 1998. ., The Metropolitan Council shows potential regional trails which cross through Chanhassen: 1) a trail which follows the Hwy. 101 corridor from the Hennepin County Boundary to the Minnesota River, and 2) a trail which follows the Hwy 5 corridor from the 101 corridor to City of Victoria limits and ultimately to Carver Regional Park. The County will likely include these corridors in its trail vision plan as regional trails unless the designation changes by the Metropolitan Council. These two proposed trails should be identified in the City's plan and designated as having potential regional status. ,. The County Comprehensive plan may show additional trail links to or within the City. If so, coordination will be needed to identify opportunities to implement plans for both entities. The County would encourage possible links from the City to other communities and areas outside its boundaries where feasible - again, coordination is essential. ,. The City's plan discusses future plans for Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. It is likely that the County and region will revisit future development plans for the park and re-evaluate the proposed need and location for additional trails, and an amphitheater. NATURAL RESOURCES ,. The County completed a Groundwater Plan in 1992 and is revising it for 1999. In the 1992 plan, the County outlined implementation strategies which address groundwater protection. Many of these implementation activities involve local jurisdictions and, in-fact, rely on them to carry out the plan. The following is a summary of related activities which Chanhassen is required or recommended to implement: Address groundwater in the local water plan or WMO plan. (Mandatory) Examine ordinances for excessive chemical use requirements. (Mandatory) Adopt an ordinance which requires sealing of abandoned wells if land is to be platted or developed. (Mandatory) Adopt ordinance requiring disconnection of private systems & require backflow preventers. (Mandatory) Address groundwater in Comprehensive Plan. (Recommended) Landowner education on fertilizer & pesticide use. (Recommended) ,. The County has collected and prepared numerous data regarding the groundwater resource. Coordination with the County in developing future plans will increase efficiency for both the County and City. -,. The plan should mention the need for creating wellhead protection areas around existing a future wells. Future wells will require wellhead protection plans and delineated areas as part of MN dept of Health requirements. The proposed 1999 City Groundwater Protection Plan should include wellhead protection elements. -,. On-Site Sewers - According to MN Rules Chapter 7080, the City of Chanhassen, must adopt standards as strict as those set by Carver County. According to the plan, it appears that this is the intent. Attached is a copy of the Carver County ISTS Ordinance adopted on February 24, 1998. Reference to standards and implementation of the policies outlined in the ordinance should be made in the City's plan. ,. Excepting a small portion of Hazeltine-Bavaria Creek, the City does not fall within the watershed management authority of Carver County. In general, the County is supportive of the efforts outlined in the plan to protect water resources in and around the City. Please feel free to contact me at 361-1825 for questions regarding these comments. Thank you again for taking time to present an outline of the plan to the Carver County Board.

Minnesota 55318 612/368-3620 June 17, 1998 School District 112 City of Chanhassen Planning Commission Dear Commissioners, The School Board of Independent School District 112 is appreciative of the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan being reviewed prior to submission to the Chanhassen City Council. Strategic planning for the growth needs of an expanding demographic base is extremely important. With land supply being the one constant in a community poised for rapid growth, all concerned governmental entities need to collaboratively address future needs. Assuming a majority of the 7,200 households and 16,600 person projected increase is within ISD 112 boundaries, ISD 112 will require substantial new school building space and new acreage. A secondary school and two elementary schools may be required within Chanhassen City boundaries by the year 2020. This would require between minimum 160 acres at current standards (80 acre secondary site, 40 acre per elementary site). The School District recommends future school sites be identified and planned for in Chanhassen's Comprehensive Plan. Minnesota school finance formula, established by the Legislature, provides a basic foundation formula on a per pupil basis. This basic formula has equalization state aid built into appropriations so that students across the state are provided adequate and equal access to education. The formula, however, does not allow for adequate equalization state aid when District's levy against local property to pay long term debt and excess operational expenses. Districts that can spread the property tax levy against high local property wealth (market value or tax capacity), consistently pass bond or levy referendums at a higher amount and frequency than property poor districts. ISD 112 is a property poor district that would benefit from addition commercial and i'idustrial tax base comparative to household residences. The School District recommends future commercial and industrial land use be planned in the City of Chanhassen to decrease future tax rates on household residences. In summary the School Board ofIndependent School District 112 appreciates a collaborative effort of all citizens and governmental entities in addressing the long-range mission of educating our society's most precious resource, the youth of tomorrow!

July 29, 1998 Kate Aanenson Director of Planning City Of Chanhassen 690 Coulter Drive Chanhassen. MN 55317 Subject: Comprehensive Guide Plan Update Review Dear Ms. Aanenson: The City of Eden Prairie staff has completed the review of the City ofChanhassen Guide Plan Update. Chapter 5 Transportation 1. Figure 5 shows the traffic volume forecast for the year 2020 with TH 212 in place through Chanhassen. Figure 5 projects a traffic volume for TH 5 at Chanhassen's eastern boundary of 47,000 vpd and a volume of 9,000 vpd on Pioneer Trail at Chanhassen's western boundary. Figure 3 shows existing traffic volumes of 44,000 vpd for TH 5 and 7.000 vpd for Pioneer Trail. At this time TH 212, west of CSAH 4 in HelUlepin County, is not programmed for construction until after 2020. The peak impact of Chanhassen growth on traffic volumes for Pioneer Trail and TH 5 is not accurately portrayed in Figure 5. Chapter 6 Sewer and Water 1. The plan indicates that several large lot subdivisions in the drainage area of Riley Lake are not plalUled for sewer service for some time. It may be desirable to accelerate sewer service to these areas to reduce the nutrient load to Riiey Lake. 2.

We are truly in disbelief over this proposal, especially in light of our clear statements at the outset of the Comprehensive Plan process in correspondence dated November 10, 1997. That letter not only objected to designation of the property for fu~ure public use, it summarized and attached correspondence dating to 1989 which should make it quite clear that the Eckankar property functions as an integrated piece of church property which is sacred to the Eckankar religion. We again strongly object to any designation of the property for future public use, including as a school site, as open space, park expansion, public trail facilities, bicycle paths, and similar public uses.

During that period of time, my co-operator Bruce Jeurissen and I have used good farming practices to obtain tlle highest yield. I originally purchased the farm with an eye to the future of great possibilities for development, due to it's location and beautiful wooded areas, During tile decade of the 1980's, the state legislature requested each county in the seven county metro area to have 5 farms as sanitary landfill sites, My Chanhasscn farm had tile best qualification due to it's location is the close3t tc tho SO~Jth"'''8St metro area. It was calculated at that time to take ten years to fill ttle landfill. Most of U,e land fill would be coming from Hennepin County. I was \/ery strong against the farm being usee! as a "clump." DlJring the four years the I{)\N was in effect. I made 3 to 4 trips pc:)r year to the f\.11~t Council meetings. One of the rea~,ons I oppo::;ed till.? sanitary land fill ',vas the location being South of tile Chanhass8fl metro area. In the summer wht~1l tile ~Jn3at outdoors is enjoyp.d, the breezes would've wafted the stench of the [nnd fill O\,f:.r tile city and ill turn \,'Jould've bean unbearablo. One surnnlor I picked up the list of proposed Carver County landfill sites. ,A,itet' studying each I noticed thoy all had something diiferent from my farm, either tiling sY:3tenlS or pumps. I called Ole Met Council to inform them that my farm had (I nc"',' e:<tt3IlsilJe tiling system. They rernoved my farm from considcrC1tion \:\1 that time, and I<}tnr the law was repealed. The City of Cflanhasspn "dodged Ule bul!ct" that timo. I COilsider it risky to let 600 contiguous acres with no dovelopment loy in waiting. I would c1as:;ify that as h(:;ir.~J vulnerable. Please make every CffOli to move tl1e I'vlUSA line South of Lyman Blvd., instead af cncouraging the development further from the mctro area.

Fox (94') 793-3306 cc: Mayor Nancy Mancino City Planner Kate; Aanenson Mernbers of the City Council Jeffrey A. Fox 5270 Howard's Point Rd. Excelsior, MN 55331 (612)474-7118 December 17, 1997 To the attention of the mayor and council members of the city of Chanhassen: In the previous letter written to you dated 11/17/97, our questions were misinterpreted to be about land use. Our actual concern is the direction for the future extension of the urban service area. My interest is in the 1995 study Kate referred to in her October 11, 1996 memo called' the Bluff Creek Watershed Natural Resource and Management Plan. Some of us land owners, south of Lyman Blvd met with Kate at the Senior Center on 10/21/96, Kate presented staff recommendation of the updated land use plan, her primary concern was that the city would like to take advantage of some watershed funds for the actual Bluff Creek corridor acquisition. The preliminary city plan, recommended by the city staff, was presented and showed considerable areas designated in green for possible future park land. Kate stated at the 10/21/96 meeting that the met council would allow MUSA expansion in any portion of, or all of the area outside of the urban area, but the city could not afford all of the infrastructure at one time. Kate stated, the city staff's intention is to direct the area to the west of Galpin Rd. and north of Hwy 5, not south of Lyman Blvd. In the 12/03/97 letter, Kate addressed to the proposed north frontage road from Lake Ann Park to Highway 41. If you choose to continue the frontaqe road, alonq with a frontaqe road beinq added to the south of Hwy 5, what intersections will be closed and which traffic Iiqhts will be removed? As an owner of a retail business in Chanhassen, and the location of my home being north-west of Chanhassen, the northern frontage road may be of interest to drive during rush hour traffic, knowing I will eliminate 3 traffic lights. Or if you choose not to close any of the 3 traffic lights, and if you will be adding,3 additional controlled intersections at: frontage/Audubon, frontage/Galpin and frontage/Hwy 41, then the frontage road might not be a benefit for myself to drive on. ~ it beinq considered that these additional intersections are likely to lead to potential problems concerninq safety? Is there a study beinq done to explain what benefit the north frontaqe road will have as a residential use, verses the south side of Hwy 5 frontaqe beinq mainly commercial use? My understanding is that frontage roads are used to limit the number of accesses to a major highway, therefore reducing congestion., I read in The Villager and was later confirmed by MN DOT representative Evan Greene that there will be a traffic light added to Audubon and Hwy 5. It appears this will support added traffic delay on Hwy 5. In return it will benefit the area south of Lyman Blvd by the addition of a 3rd traffic light intersection for accessibility to Hwy 5. 1 Pertaininq to the direction of the potential qrowth, I am referrinq to the added traffic on Hwv 5 from Hwv 41 to County Rd. 17, I am questioninq the exceedinq of the safety capacity bv MN DOT standards. Even with the projected 2 additional lanes, which has been delayed once again until the year 2000. I question why the staff won't use the state's dollars to purchase the Hwv 212 right-of- wav corridor land, to extend Powers Blvd. south to Pioneer Trail. I believe if Powers Blvd. was extended, this would be less costly due to the following: · less distance of road to build · less amount of grade alteration · no improved properties such as home-sites to acquire · approximately 1000 acres of raw farm land for development adjacent to Powers Blvd · largest undeveloped parcel closest to Chanhassen · 3 routes to the north to Hwy 5 with traffic light intersections, 2 roads to the south, and 2 roads east and west totally surrounding the 1995 study area · plus the proposed added south frontage road The extension of Powers Blvd will benefit in transporting adjacent home owners to and from their destinations. Also, the city will have less cost to produce a road for the City of Chanhassen Park Commission's 151 choice for the fall 1997's proposed park land purchase. With greater amount of feeder roads adjacent to the 1995 study area of Lyman Blvd., I believe the city will have lessor cash outlay to extend Powers Blvd., even with the 80% federal funding of the north frontage road. With the RALPH program in place, it allows the city to acquire the portion of right of way that it would need to extend Powers Blvd. to Pioneer Trail. That will show the state consistent value to proposed Hwy 212 right of way, like Eden Prairie and Chaska already have done to this date by land acquisition. "It would be a step closer for MN DOT to know that the right of way acquisition is complete. We hired Loukes & Associates to provide an outside independent funded land use plan for alternative ideas. The city staff and council of 1996 chose not to accept those ideas. With the city receiving an offer in writing from Frank Fox dated 10/16/97 to acquire a chunk of land for park, with the portion being dedicated (pertaining to the MUSA expansion) south of Lyman Blvd, at a substantial park acquisition savings. It appears that two concerns are pending and are yet to be answered. · My belief is the cost basis of the proposed north frontage road from Lake Ann to Highway 41. · The city, in cooperation with Carver County are in the process of doing a road infrastructure study. Knowinq the north frontaqe road is in a proposed position at 80% federal fundinq and 20% city cost. whv would the city staff recommend the current proposed 1998 urban extension until the above 2 issues are complet13d? 2 Why can't yOU wait to make a decision after the results of the road study and actual costs of the north frontaqe road are calculated, so that all thinqs can be taken into consideration? Is time an issue for presentation to the met council? As I review the 11/27/97 Villager article on Chanhassens long range planning with Bob Generous outline, this reinforces the councils need to strongly consider the value in the economics alone. If the long range plans for the park and recreation are to take place, the city of Chanhassen will need to demonstrate to it's residents by curbing costs through cuts or expanding the city for development where less infrastructure cost exists verses the revenue return. I realize this is only one ( myself) persons opinion, and I don't know of all the special grants available that will support the future recreational expansion. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to expand the city in the direction where it will brinq in considerablv more revenue at less cost to the city? With the city's increasing operational costs and the proposed 17% increase in the city's portion of property taxes for 1998, have you compared the percentaqe of revenue that can be received. to the cost's of the infrastructure? It is known that 5% of the increase is for the park referendum passed pertaining to the area south of Lyman Blvd. If you are spendinq money to benefit a specified area and it's needs. such as a Dark referendum, then why wouldn't yOU try to qet a return of revenue from the same area? Comments were made by Todd Hoffman, Chanhassen Park Director, that there is no intention at this time to develop the proposed park acquisition area. Why should the Chanhassen taxpayers start pavinq for the cost of it. if we are not ready to develop the area? Kate acknowledge in her 12/03/97 letter the amenities are already in place for area south of Lyman Blvd. The road infrastructure is presently being studied by city and county. As land owners our un-developed farm property has been tied up since 1971, due to the original study for the proposed Hwy 212 Y2 mile wide corridor route. And, in 1987 when Chanhassen city council voted in favor of met council installing a new gravity sewer main in return for outside MUSA line property to increase building lot sizes from 2Y2 acres to 10 acres this reduced the land value. Being outside the MUSA line, the right of way acquisition has been and will be difficult to acquire (unless the owner is in a distressed situation). Mainly due to the appraiser will only value the property as it is currently being used and or zoned for which is at agricultural value. Property sales further south and west inside the MUSA sold at a much greater value due to residential building lot sizes smaller than 10 acres. I am continuing to pursue this issue because we have been approached by two developers. One of which has done considerable amounts of development in the Chanhassen area. They love the property and would like to tie as much acreage up while they work with the city and met council for a residential approval. What is the city staff's direction for future qrowth based on? Is there an influence knowinq that additional land to be acquired for future park plavs in MUSA expansion south of Lvman, hopinq that if the land stays for farm use onlv it will keep the acquisition cost for park land down? 3 If the city elects to pursue the 37 acres of Frank Fox's east portion, that Powers Blvd right of way (RALPH Program) looks even better. Easier access from Pioneer Trail and Lyman Blvd to the park. Is the Hwv 212 phase 2 and/or 3 delay possibly holdino UP the city from lettino development 00 forward in the area south of Lyman Blvd? Is the area beino set aside because it is unknown if there will ever be a Hwv 212 intersectino with Cty. Rd. 17? I support the option stated in the staff's 12/3/97 letter reoardinq the staoino of MUSA expansion. Why not put it to use? The city of Victoria, to the west, with it's urban area expansion that has been approved by the met council will allow the city to decide what property based on developer request to be added. I hope from our original Land Group letter, Frank Fox's letter regarding the past potential landfill, and our current response to the staff's letter, the council will take all of the points brought up by us into consideration, along with the city and county co-op 'traffic element study, before making your decision. I prefer the city council to address my concerns, Kate has made it clear how the staff sees the future expansion. Can the city let us know why they favor and plan to expand north of Hwy 5 and west of the city. rather than south of Lyman Blvd? Now with the proposed new north frontage road in process, based on the staff's recommendation, will our area have to wait for a fair shake or will the city wait for the co-op road study and cost of north frontaqe road before supportinq the direction for expansion? If not, it appears there will be a motion to accept the staff's recommendation. I am awaiting response from the mayor and/or council persons concerning all of the above issues, what your positions are, and answers to the underlined questions. RespectfUT~ U It ~ -~ (/y Wy A.

CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900. FAX (612) 937-5739 December 3, 1997 Mr. Jeffrey A. Fox 5270 Howard's Point road Excelsior, MN 55331 Dear Mr. Fox, This letter is in response to your letter da:d t\o':ember 17, ] 997, specifically addressing the four questions that you asked. I have attempted to address these questions and hope that you will have a better understanding of the city's policies. I. In 1990 the guide plan ShOH'S the 2008 area in question was to have the 1995 development future plan H'hy, are we not follollling the original guide plan? The Highway 5 and 41 intersection as \vell as the land area south of Lyman Blvd. were designated in the 1991 Comprehensive Plan as a 1995 Study Area (see attachment). This meant these areas were not guided for future land uses and it was the city goal to study this area in 1995. Land use designation and a request for urban service extension are two separate issues. The city undertook a study of this area in 1995. The study was called the Highway 5 Corridor Study. The purpose of this study was to guide (designate future land uses), locate the proposed northern frontage road, and review and approve the Environmental Assessment document. Highway 5 was originally scheduled to be upgraded in 1998. This road would represent a collector through the city that would carry a significant volume of traffic. The purpose of the frontage road is provide an east-west connection for local traffic, thus reducing local trips on Highway 5. Highway 5 is currently proposed to be widened in the year 2000-200 I. The city undertook a separate study for the area south of Lyman Blvd. This study was called the Bluff Creek Management Plan. As a part of the Comprehensive Plan updating process which the city is cUlTently undertaking, the city must demonstrate that there is adequate infrastructure in place. Because the city has already invested in sewer extension, the EA document for the frontage road, and will be participating in some of the acquisition costs, it seems logical that this area be the next area to be brought into the MUSA. This is my recommendation only. Ultimately, the City Council will decide this issue. State law mandates that the city complete updating their Comprehensive Plan by December, 1998. A component of this plan will be criteria for MUSA expansIOn. Mr. Jeffrey Fox December 3, 1997 Page 2 2. Have you taken into consideration the additional traffic YOLl 'II be adding to Hwy. 5? The city has taken into consideration the traffic on Highway 5. The city is currently working with Carver County on updating the traffic element of the Comprehensive Plan. The city has always anticipated the construction of Highway 212 when designing the ultimate traffic de~ands for the city. Without the construction of Highway 212, there may be additional traffic on Hwy. 5 but just the same, there will be a significant increase of traffic on all east-west streets in the city including Lyman Boulevard and Pioneer Trail. All of these traffic issues are being reviewed as a part of the traffic study. Upgrades to Lyman Boulevard as well as other streets in the southern portion of the city may be required before additional land can be developed in the southern portion of the city. 3. With the amenities in place ji-om past planning vvhy are YOLl changing direction? It is my opinion that current planning has not changed from \vhat was in place in the 199 I Comprehensive Plan. The 1991 Comprehensive Plan identified two areas to be studied in the future (1995 Study Area). Both of these areas were given land use designations in either the Highway 5 Corridor Study or the Bluff Creek Management Plan. Most of the area south of Lyman was given a residential land use designation. As a part of the Bluff Creek Management Plan, the city held hearings regarding future land uses on your property. The recommendations to the Planning Commission by Loucks and Associates was given consideration by the City. Ultimately, the Council chose not to guide the property as recommended by the Louck's study. You certainly have the right to request a change when the property is ready to develop. Staff is preparing a few options regarding the staging of MUS A expansion. To date the areas being discussed are: . efficient infrastructure plan (based on available utilities and services) . fixed acreage over five year increments . maintain a five year supply of vacant developable land Even if the city was completely within the MUSA. it be would be impossible to leapfrog development throughout the city. The city could not finance this type of development pattern. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide a fiscally responsible and orderly development plan. Hearings regarding the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies and the staging of the MUSA are proposed for the winter and spring of 1998. You are encouraged to voice your opinion at these meetings. 4. Why did Chanhassen make County Road 17 a priority for updating 4 years ago, when it appears that now ,vou have no plans for this need until the year 2008? i, .' .' .I " ..' : Mr. Jeffrey Fox December 3, 1997 Page 3 Carver County and the city worked to improve Powers Boulevard between Lyman Boulevard and Highway 5 because it has been planned since 1990. This segment of Powers Boulevard has experienced increased traffic. The reason the road wasn't extended south of Lyman is that unless Hwy. 212 is built, the road won't go anywhere at this point without the Hwy. 212 connection. It is staffs opinion that this portion of Powers Boulevard will be built with Hwy. 212. It would be wise to have this segment built with state dollars. I hope that I have answered your questions. I invite you to participate in the Comprehensive Plan public hearings. Watch the Chanhassen Villager or check the City's home page to find the hearing dates. Sincerely, KcuU ~ Kathryn R.

C;", I .~, .-';-.;"~~:-~J~~:::::\ January 9, 1998 Kate Annonson, Director of Planning Bob Generous, Senior Planner City of Chanhassen 690 Coulter Drive Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear Members; While a member of the Planning Commission, I was involved in developing the rationale for moving the MUSA line to where it has been since 1991. I'd like to take this opportunity to share my experience and to suggest alternatives for deciding where and when the various rural areas remaining will be added to the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). It appears that the current approach being studied is to look at existing sewage lines, lift stations, and water main facilities exclusively to determine the most economic sequence for their expansion. While utilities infrastructure was a consideration in 1991, the methodology ultimately used was based on transportation issues, the need to develop Bandemere Park, and a strong belief that the city should preserve, for as long as possible, those areas where agriculture is actually being practiced in Chanhassen. We felt that these issues outweighed the benefits of optimizing the sequence which sewage disposal and water distribution systems are expanded. While land must be added to the urban area in order to achieve the City's and Met Council's goals, the action of incorporating more land in each case should be done in a way that least impacts remaining agriculturally active land. Building lift stations or even placing the MUSA line close to Ag land tends to attract speculators who purchase the land at higher prices than Ag use can justify. These parcels are then converted to interim uses and then, without fanfare, one spring a Commercial Nursery business or Contracting Yard exists where the previous year, there was a corn field. Eventually all the pipe and line will be installed and all the corn and soybean fields and cows will be eliminated. Nevertheless, we can control the sequence in which these things will occur. (By the way, abandoned farm sites make great contractors' yards.) I have created the attached map which shows the remaining land used for Ag purposes in our city. In planning our next MUSA line extension, I recommend that we maintain the still relatively large and uncorrupted area south of Lyman, north of Pioneer, west of extended County Road 17 and east of current 17 as Ag land or until all other non- agriculturally productive areas are developed. To expand the amount of land for TIM\CITYL TR OIl08/98j . 1 urbanization, we should first absorb those lands which have already been degraded to interim uses. Moreover, you will find that property already converted to interim uses are adjacent to existing urban areas, park facilities and major transportation routes e.g., Highway 101 and Pioneer Trail. I would like to state clearly that I am not suggesting that we maintain Ag land in perpetuity in Chanhassen. Neither is it possible, nor is it fair to landowners currently engaged in Ag production. We can, however, produce a rational plan for urban growth which allows those farming a clearer idea of what the future holds and how best to plan their investment. At the same time we can preserve for the community our heritage of corn and soy bean fields, cows and even pigs - as long as possible.

'"" '" COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHAPTER 5 UPDATE 1998 TRANSPORTATION INTRODUCTION The City of Chanhassen is located in northeastern Carver County approximately 25 miles from downtown Minneapolis (Figure 1). Chanhassen is bounded by the City of Eden Prairie on the east, the City of Shakopee and the Minnesota River on the south, the Cities of Chaska and Victoria on the west, and the Cities of Shorewood and Minnetonka on the north. It is in the urbanizing area of the Twin Cities Metropolitan area, and is expected to be nearly fully developed by the year 2020. Several regional highways provide Chanhassen with accessibility to the metropolitan area and to outstate Minnesota. These include MN Trunk Highway 5 which runs east/west and interchanges with 1-494 east of Chanhassen in the City of Eden Prairie; MN Trunk Highway 7 which runs east/west along the northern border of Chanhassen; MN Trunk Highway 41 which runs north/south along the western portion of the city; TH 101 (soon to be CSAH 101) which runs north/south bisecting the southern portion of the city and defines the northeastern border of Chanhassen with Eden Prairie; and MN Trunk Highway 169/212 which runs east to west in southern Chanhassen along the Minnesota River. The existing Chanhassen Transportation Plan is based on the City's 1991 Land Use and Transportation Plan. Updates to these plans have been undertaken by the City to recognize changes in land use, development patterns and other planning processes including: the Minnesota Department of Transportation's "Transportation System Plan" (TSP) and Carver County's Transportation Plan update. The TSP was prepared in 1997 and outlines major transportation investments for the transportation system in the seven county metropolitan area. The TSP identified $10 billion in transportation needs in the region with only $3 billion in funding. As a result of this funding shortage, many needs throughout the metropolitan area will go unmet over the next 20 years. The TSP identified level of service (LOS) problems on regional routes such as TH 7, TH 5, TH 41, and TH 212, but has only allocated improvement funds for a limited extension of four lanes on TH 5 out to TH 41, and the first phase of TH 212 out to CSAH 4 i.n Eden Prairie. Given these limited capacity Improvements to regional facilities, operational (congestion) and safety problems on these facilities will continue to increase. Since the regional facilities are anticipated to function poorly, additional traffic is anticipated to divert to the local system. [Carver County is in the process of updating their Comprehensive Plan including the transportation element. It is important to note that the system changes and traffic forecasts included in this plan are only in draft form and that some modifications may occur to county facilities and forecasts as the report is completed over the next three months.] Figure 1 Goals And Objectives The Transportation Plan sets forth how the City of Chanhassen will achieve its goal of creating an integrated multi-modal transportation system which permits the safe, efficient and effective movement of people and goods while supporting the City's development plans, and complementing the metropolitan transportation system that lies within its boundaries. To accomplish this goal, the Transportation Plan: 1. Defines the density and distribution of future land uses and their relationship to the proposed local transportation system, and the anticipated metropolitan transportation system. 2. Develops a functional hierarchy of streets and roads and defines their access to the regional system to ensure that they support COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 the existing and anticipated development of the area; serves both short trips and trips to adjacent communities; and complements and supports the metropolitan highway system. 3. Establishes a system improvement and completion program that ensures that higher priority projects are constructed first; maintains a consistent and coherent roadway system during the roadway system development process; and provides for adequate funding for all needed improvements. 4. Identifies what transit services and travel demand management strategies are appropriate for implementation in Chanhassen in order to increase the number and proportion of people who use transit or share rides, and reduce the peak level of demand on the entire transportation system. 5. Identifies the strategies and policies that need to be implemented to properly integrate the trail system (pedestrian, bicycle, etc.) with the proposed roadway system, to ensure the provision of trails in a sequence consistent with the development of the roadway system, and to create a rational network of sidewalks. Transportation Policies The Metropolitan Council's Transportation Policy Plan identifies a policy framework within which the Chanhassen Transportation Plan was developed. The City's transportation policies are supportive of metropolitan policies and consistent with the plans and programs of the Metropolitan, County, and State systems and relate directly to the objectives of the City of Chanhassen. These policies are as follows: General . Thoroughfares and major routes should be planned so as to reduce conflicts between external traffic and local traffic while minimizing the disruption or division of the logical pattern of development in the community. . Transportation facilities should be planned and designed to be compatible with the surrounding environment. . Through the development review process, the City will strive to discourage development from occurring within the designated roadway corridors as well as limiting access to collector streets, minor arterials, intermediate arterials and principal arterials. . Promote safe and convenient access connections between the highway system and major commercial and industrial areas, and residential neighborhoods. Roadways . Encourage multiple use of right-of-way areas accommodating various modes of transportation. . New roadway facilities should be constructed in conjunction with new developments and designed according to the intended function. They should be planned and designed to be compatible with the surrounding environment. . Existing roadways should be upgraded when warranted by demonstrated volume, safety or functional needs. . Access points to the regional roadway system should be adequately controlled in terms of driveway openings and side street intersections. . Residential street systems should be designed to discourage through traffic and to be compatible with other transportation modes including transit, bicycle and walking. . The City will implement roadway design standards and inspection practices which ensure proper construction. Transit . The City encourages all forms of ridesharing in order to reduce vehicle miles of travel, reduce petroleum consumption, and improve air quality. . The City will review all major new developments in light of the potential for ridesharing including bus accessibility, preferential parking for carpools/ van pools, and mixed use development. . The City will support Federal, State, Metropolitan and local efforts directed toward the 2 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 provision of rail transit for the community, the region, and the state. . The City encourages cooperation with the Metropolitan Council and Southwest Metro Transit Commission in order to provide future transit service to and within the community. The City will support the development of park and ride facilities that encourage transit use. Parking . The City will continue to review new developments for adequacy of parking based upon need and the potential for joint use of parking facilities. . Sufficient parking and transfer and bus stop facilities areas should be provided to meet the needs of mass transit in major employment and commercial areas and in higher density residential and mixed use areas. Pedestrian/Bicycle . Major activity centers should provide accessibility to pedestrians and bicycles including necessary storage facilities. . The City will promote increased development of bikeways and trail facilities in order to conserve energy resources, enhance recreational opportunities and assist in the abatement of pollution and congestion. . Pedestrian and bicycle trails should be interconnected with major generators and have continuity across major roadways and other barriers. . Sidewalks and/or trails should be required in commercial, industrial, medium and high density residential areas; adjacent to schools and other public buildings; and along at least one side of collectors and other high volume roads. Other . The city will utilize the land use plan and transportation plan maps to illustrate planned road alignments and to facilitate their acquisition and construction as new developments are proposed. The plan maps will illustrate all collector and arterial street alignments. They will also be amended from time to time by the City during the subdivision review process. . As a part of platting, each development should provide dedication and improvement of public streets consistent with the standards found in city ordinances. The city will promote the provision of street and pedestrian connections to maximize safety and ease of access. . Sufficient setbacks and/or berming should be designed into all development projects adjacent to major public roadways. . Coordinate existing and planned transportation facilities and their capacities with land use types and densities with particular emphasis on land development in the vicinity of interchanges and intersections. . The City will continue an ongoing maintenance program in order to maximize the community's investment in transportation facilities. . For proposed developments, the City will require detailed circulation and access plans which depict the impact of the proposed development on both the existing and future transportation systems. . The City will support Federal, State, Metropolitan and local efforts directed toward the timely construction of Trunk Highway 212, upgrading of TH 5, realignment and construction of CSAH 101 south of TH 5 and upgrading of 101 north of TH 5, TH 41, and other facilities serving the area. . Chanhassen will coordinate efforts with Eden Prairie, Carver County, Hennepin County, Victoria and other appropriate jurisdictions to ensure that Highways 5 and 101 continue to function as effectively as possible. . Chanhassen will coordinate the construction and maintenance of hard surfaced local streets, collectors, and arterials. Within the Rural Service Area, the City will provide and maintain a transportation system consistent with the needs of agricultural land uses. 3 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 LAND USE Existing development within the City is influenced by several factors including the relative location of the Minneapolis CBO, the location of metropolitan highways, and the location of several lakes within the City. Residential development has occurred primarily in the northeast portion of the city, with some large lot developments in other areas. Commercial areas in Chanhassen have developed along the major highway corridors of Trunk Highway 5 and Trunk Highway 41. For more information on land use with in the city see the land use section of the comprehensive plan. The adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan defines areas where the City will encourage specific types of land uses to be developed. The general categories of land uses defined by the City are residential, commercial, mixed use, industrial, school/public and parks. The Land Use Plan is a tool that the City uses to "guide" future development so that it is consistent with current and future land uses in the City. Metropolitan Urban Services Area The 1991 Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA) is depicted in Figure 2. The purpose of this boundary is to define the areas within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area that are eligible for "urban services", specifically sewers, municipal water systems and particular types of transportation systems. This boundary line is defined and maintained by the Metropolitan Council to assist in the orderly development of the metropolitan area. The location of the MUSA line is a valuable guide in determining the priority of roadway improvements. The roadway system within the MUSA area is going to be in demand much sooner than the roadway system outside. This is one of the reasons for having such a boundary. It allows municipalities to focus limited resources on particular parts of their territory. All of Chanhassen is expected to be within the MUSA by the year 2020.

Traffic analysis zones (TAZ's) are defined geographical areas within which data such as population, employment and household information is collected. This data is analyzed through computer modeling techniques which results in forecasts of traffic movement between zones. Utilizing this technique, it is possible to project travel and demand such as person-trip productions, person-trip attractions, intrazonal person trips and motor vehicle data such as average daily trips and peak hour trips. This data is valuable in both local and regional transportation planning. Table 5-1 shows the past census population, households, and employment as well as 2020 forecasts for the City of Chanhassen. From 1980 to 1995, the population and the number of households in Chanhassen more than doubled. increasing at annual rates of 6.0 percent and 6.3 percent, respectively. By 1995, Chanhassen's employment had grown more than three times the 4 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 1980 figure, rising at a rate of 8.8 percent per year. City forecasts are based on the location of existing development and an understanding of the rate at which development is occurring both within Chanhassen and throughout the region.

This rate of growth will result in the doubling of population over a 20-year period. The projected growth shows a steady increase between the first ten years and the last ten years. Employment is also forecast to grow to more than two times the 1995 figure, a growth rate of 2.0 percent per year, Table 5-2 shows the City of Chanhassen's forecast for population, households, and employment by TAZ for 2020. The TAZ locations are shown in the appendix. Table 5-3 compares the Metropolitan Council forecasts of population, households, and employment with forecasts made by the City of Chanhassen. The Metropolitan Council's 2020 forecast for population, households, and employment is very similar to the city's. Differences in forecast population and households arise primarily from a difference in the estimate of household size. The Metropolitan Council projects a household size of 2.55 persons per household while Chanhassen estimates a household size of 2.65 persons per household.

A good indicator of existing need is traffic congestion. However, maintaining system continuity as new land develops is also important. Identifying future need requires an understanding of how the city is expected to grow. The preceding section outlined the expected distribution of population and employment. Forecasts of traffic based on these socioeconomic forecasts were made for the existing roadway system including improvements that are already programmed. This allows the detection of problems that would develop if no further system improvements were made. This section identifies both existing and future roadway system needs. Existing Roadway System As with all municipalities, jurisdiction over the roadway system is shared among three levels of government: the state, the county and the city. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/ DOT), through its metro-district Golden Valley, maintains the interstate and trunk highway system on behalf of the state; Carver County maintains the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) and County Road systems. The remaining streets and roadways are the responsibility of the City. The existing street network includes approximately 140 miles of road. This represents almost a doubling of the road system from 75 miles in 1990.

Urban roadways are required to dedicate 60 feet of right-of-way for local streets and 28 - 32 foot wide pavement width. Rural roadways are also required to have a bituminous surfacing 24 feet wide contained within a 60 foot right-of-way. Right- of-way widths may be reduced to 50 feet if there are extenuating environmental or physical constraints on a property. Current city policy also allows the construction of private streets. Four single family residences may be served if it is demonstrated to be unfeasible or unnecessary to construct a public street. In such cases, 30 feet of easement is required with the 6 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 r 1t'~:.1,fih.J 123~fT< ...~,.}' .'. !." .~. ;,... / . ..... ..... :::' i ".00"/" 4.eoCJ-l!:!; '::'.' , !". ,~\"i?~~~!A~;'~' .,';- ',000 .

Commercial, industrial, and office development may be served by 26 feet wide paved private streets within 40 foot wide access easements. Existing Traffic Volumes Traffic volumes for the different highway segments within Chanhassen were collected from MnDOT traffic maps. These volumes represent 1996 average daily traffic volumes and are shown on Figure 3. Existing Transportation Issues/Deficiencies The function of a transportation plan is to not only accommodate future needs but also to analyze existing problems and pose appropriate solutions. Frequently, existing problems are closely related to future needs. As a result, a specific action in a given area can remedy existing deficiencies while providing for future needs. Issues and system deficiencies were categorized into three areas: 1) intersections, 2) roadway capacity/alignment/connection and 3) jurisdictional continuity. The major issues are shown on Figure 4 and discussed in more detail as follows: Intersections/ Access Chanhassen contains a number of intersections that currently are experiencing problems. A summary of these occurs as follows. 1. Trunk Highway 7/Minnewashta Parkway - The major problem with this intersection is the angle with which northbound Minnewashta Parkway joins TH 7. As a result, it is difficult to identify eastbound traffic on TH 7 and turning movements from eastbound TH 7 to southbound Minnewashta Parkway are cumbersome. The City of Chanhassen completed improvements to Minnewashta Parkway in 1993. Due to heavy traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. Installation of a traffic signal at this location is anticipated in the future. 2. Trunk Highway 7/Lake Minnewashta area - TH 7 in northwestern Chanhassen along the north side of Lake Minnewashta intersects a number of local streets. Due to heavy traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. In this area, TH 7 does not contain lanes specifically designed to accommodate free flowing traffic. Eventual implementation of the recommendations contained in the TH 7 Corridor Study will improve conditions in this area. 3. Trunk Highway 5/Minnewashta Parkway - Due to heavy volumes, particularly during peak hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. Installation of a traffic signal in the future is anticipated. 4. Trunk Highway 5/Arboretum Entrance - Turning movements into and out of the Arboretum are complicated by the heavy traffic volumes along TH 5. In the future, this situation should be addressed in the reconstruction of the western segment of TH 5. 5. TH 41/TH 5 - Some areas of TH 41 have inadequate sight distance (vertical alignment 7 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 could use improvement). This improvement would normally require major reconstruction. Improvement of this area is not included in MNDOT's 20-year capital program. 6. TH 41 and West 82nd Street - Arboretum Business Park area is developing. This will increase side street volumes and likely require signalization. Tentatively, signal installation is anticipated in 1999. 7. TH 5/Audubon Road - Due to heavy traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. Installation of a traffic signal is included with the TH 5 project scheduled for 2000-2001. 8. TH 5/Park Drive - Access is proposed to be limited to right-in/right-out with the TH 5 project scheduled for 2000-2001. 9. CSAH 101/96th Street - At this intersection, a blind curve exists due to the vertical curve of CSAH 101. In 1989, sight distance was enhanced by the removal of trees in the area. Further improvements are unlikely until CSAH 101 is reconstructed in the future. 10. Pioneer Trail and CSAH 101 - Sight distance problems occur for traffic on Pioneer Trail due to the vertical curvature of CSAH 101. Improvement of this situation requires a comprehensive approach and is not likely to occur until CSAH 101 is improved in southern Chanhassen. 11. CSAH 101 /TH 212 - Recent improvements to this intersection have significantly improved safety. Heavy traffic volumes continue to pose problems in this area. The construction of new TH 212 in the future will remove some of the existing traffic in this area. 12. Audubon Road/Lyman Boulevard - Long queues occur during peak hours for westbound to southbound left turns. Improvements are requried to reduce delays and improve traffic flows. Road Capacity/Alignment/Connections Deficiencies in this category are evident due to capacity problems created by excessive volumes, alignment issues, or due to connection problems. Capacity problems are also caused by a lack of proper lane channelization, lack of signalization or due to the frequency of accesses. Specific examples of such circumstances include the following: 1 . Existing capacity problems are evident on a number of key regional facilities within the City. The Transportation System Plan (TSP) which was completed by Mn/DOT in 1997 and the Carver County Plan Update which is in progress both show congestion on all major east-west routes (TH 7, TH 5, TH 212). These facilities provide mobility functions into and out of the region and are critical to the development of and quality of life in Chanhassen. Existing capacity issues within the city are described as follows: . Trunk Highway 5 - Excessive congestion on this route occurs during morning and evening peak hours. In 1998, the four lane divided arterial portion of TH 5 on Chanhassen's eastern boarder carried 50,000 vehicles per day. New TH 212 will provide some relief to TH 5; however, TH 212 is not in Mn/DOT's 20-year capital improvement program. While the planned four-lane improvements will improve traffic flow on TH 5 out to TH 41, they are not anticipated to resolve traffic problems on segments of TH 5 which have volumes that exceed the four lane capacity (approximately 45,000). If it is the goal of the City to have TH 5 function at an acceptable level (minimal delay during peak hours), it is extremely important to support construction of TH 212 to assist with the traffic load or, ultimately, expand the capacity of TH 5 to a six-lane expressway. Within Chanhassen, the flow of traffic along Highway 5 is interrupted by traffic signals at TH 41 , CSAH 19 (Galpin Boulevard), CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard), CSAH 101 (Market Boulevard), Great Plains Boulevard, Dakota Avenue, and Dell Road. Additional signals may be installed at Century Boulevard and Audubon Road. There are no significant commercial or residential uses accessing directly onto Highway 5. Eastbound traffic on TH 5 typically connects with either 1-494 or TH 169/Hennepin County 62. From the Chanhassen border to 1-494, Highway 5 8 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 Figure 4 9 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 contains a number of signalized intersections: Eden Prairie Road, Wallace Road, Mitchell Road, and Prairie Center Drive. These signalized intersections combined with higher traffic volumes in Eden Prairie, contribute to significant traffic delays during peak hours. In 1987, MnDOT began a series of improvements which would significantly enhance the function of Highway 5. The first stage improvements resulted in the construction of four lanes from Wallace Road to Prairie Center Drive in Eden Prairie. The second phase constructed a four lane divided roadway from west of CSAH 4 to Wallace Road. The third phase of the project completed in 1993 constructed a four lane roadway from west of CSAH 17 in Chanhassen to west of CSAH 4 in Eden Prairie. Included in the project was the replacement of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad bridge south of the Chanhassen CBD. The next phase of improvements is from west of CSAH 17 to TH 41. This improvement is scheduled for 2000 and 2001 and includes the construction of a four lane divided roadway and the north TH 5 Access Boulevard (West 78th Street). Chanhassen strongly advocates the continued extension of the TH 5 improvements to the western border of the community. . Trunk Highway 41 - This route bisects the western portion of Chanhassen and_operates in a congested state during morning and evening peak hours (LOS F) south of TH 5. Existing volumes average from 15,000 to 17,500 south of TH 5. However, some counts have occurred as high as 20,000 As the metropolitan region expands, north-south routes in this area will become more important as destinations are less centered on Twin Cities urban core. Currently, there is a lack of good north-south routes that provide connections between east-west principal arterial routes and major river crossings. Trunk Highway 41 is the only north-south route in the area that has significant continuity and connects to a major river crossing. With other north-south corridors being limited, the volumes on this corridor are anticipated to increase as additional development occurs. This will continue to cause delays and intersection problems throughout the corridor. These problems are anticipated to be significantly worse at the intersection of TH 5 and TH 41. Even though it provides an important function for the region, there are no major improvements planned for this facility. As a result, other parallel routes, Audubon Road and Galpin Boulevard, will become more important in distributing the traffic demand during peak traffic periods. . Trunk Highway 7 - Peak hour congestion on this route occurs east of the TH 41 junction. Average daily traffic volumes range from 17,000 west of TH 41 to 24,500 east of TH 41 . In Chanhassen, vehicle movements are generally uninhibited by signals or major street intersections. To the east, however, Highway 7 passes through Minnetonka and northern Hopkins where there are more frequent signalized intersections and commercial development. The roadway carries substantial vehicular traffic and is considered congested (LOS F) during peak travel periods. Recently, a corridor study was completed for TH 7. In Chanhassen, this study recommended turn lanes and minor local street closures. These safety improvements are scheduled for the year 2000. . TH 212--Congestion on this route occurs from Chaska to Eden Prairie during the peak hours. Average daily volumes range from 15,000 at the west city limits to 25,000 at the east city limits. 2. Audubon Road (CSAH 17) - Existing volumes on Audubon Road are 9,500 vehicles per day. This volume suggests that capacity levels are being approached for this two-lane facility. 3. County State Aid Highway 101 (formerly known as TH 101) - CSAH 101 is classified as an "A" minor arterial. It is located along the eastern border of Chanhassen. This road has existed as a temporary Trunk Highway and, as such, it did not receive appropriations for any major improvements. Hennepin County and Carver County are in the process of receiving jurisdiction of TH 101 and renaming it CSAH 101 within their county boundaries. As a result, the facility is eligible for Trunk Highway Turnback funds. The highway has significant alignment and geometric problems particularly south of TH 5. Carver County and Chanhassen are to take the lead role in 10 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 promoting the improvement of CSAH 101 south of TH 5. Hennepin County is the lead agency on CSAH 101 north of TH 5. In the meantime, the county and city anticipate working on completing a joint powers agreement for developing improvements to CSAH 101 south of TH 5. 4. Pleasant View Road - The existing roadway alignment is inadequate in several areas. Sharp curves, garages located at the right- of-way line, hidden driveways and frequent vistas of Lotus Lake which serves as a distraction, all combine to create potentially dangerous conditions. Previous efforts to improve Pleasant View Road have been unsuccessful. As a result, the inadequacies of this route will continue to intensify as traffic volumes increase. 5. Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) - Currently, Powers Boulevard does not extend south of Lyman Boulevard. South of Pioneer Trail, further extension is not feasible due to existing development and extreme variations in topography. Therefore, Chanhassen's only reasonable opportunity for a comprehensive north/south minor arterial route lies in the improvement of the CSAH 101 corridor. 6. Lake Drive/Coulter Boulevard - For the street to serve its intended purpose, it is essential that it be extended to the west. The Comprehensive Plan illustrates its ultimate extension to Hwy. 41 where it will intersect with 82nd Street in Chaska. 7. West 78th Street (north access boulevard) - As with the Lake Drive/Coulter Boulevard system south of TH 5, this system is very important for serving local east/west trips within the community for TH 41 to CSAH 101. This roadway is included in the TH 5 improvement project scheduled for 2000-2001. Jurisdictional Continuity Chanhassen contains a number of roads which pass through the community and into other municipalities. Because these routes fall under a variety of jurisdictions, continuity problems can occur. Routes of particular interest to Chanhassen include the following: 1. Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) - Within the city, this route has adequate right-of-way, sight distance, grades and setbacks to maintain a 45 to 50 mile per hour speed limit. North of Chanhassen, however, this road takes a different form as it enters Shorewood and Excelsior. In Shorewood, CSAH 17 becomes Hennepin County 82. Tight setbacks, poor sight distances, individual driveway accesses and reduced speeds exist in this area. As a result, the effectiveness of CSAH 17 as a northern access to TH 7 is diminished once it crosses Chanhassen's border. 2. Galpin Boulevard (County Road 117) - is very similar to CSAH 17. The route functions effectively until it reaches the northern portion of Chanhassen where its alignment restricts traffic movement. 3. Trunk Highway 5 - Issues pertaining to TH 5 have been previously presented. The jurisdictional continuity of TH 5 is extremely important to Chanhassen. Chanhassen will need to continually monitor MnDOT plans for this route as well as the desires of adjacent municipalities to ensure that TH 5 continues to function at the highest feasible level of service. 4. County State Aid Highway 101 - The importance of additional north-south routes with continuity has been discussed extensively in other sections of this chapter. Since this particular route borders Hennepin County and the City of Eden Prairie, it is important to develop a consistent approach to this route from TH 7 to TH 212. 5. Pioneer Trail (CSAH 14) - Provides a significant transportation corridor connection Chaska to Bloomington. 6. TH 41 - This route is an important north-south route connecting three principal arterial routes. Chanhassen should work with MnDOT to ensure that TH 41 continues to function at the highest feasible level of service. 11 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 -'I FUTURE TRAFFIC FORECASTS Traffic forecasts were made to determine the adequacy and appropriateness of the street and highway system to accommodate the development that is expected to be in place by the year 2020. The forecasts were prepared based upon projected population, households and employment data developed by the City of Chanhassen in conjunction with the Metropolitan Council. The population, household, and employment information was distributed throughout the city to a refined network of Traffic Assignment Zones (TAZ). The TAZ information is contained in Appendix B. The analysis assumed improvements to regional facilities only if they were programmed. Other local improvements were assumed if they have been included in previous transportation plans and were part of the arterial system. These system improvements are listed as follows: TH 5: Four lanes extension out to TH 41. . . CSAH 18: Completion of segment between TH 41 and CSAH 11 in Victoria. . West 78th Street: Completion of north frontage road along TH 5. . CSAH 17: Extension of Powers Boulevard south to Pioneer Trail. . Lake Drive/Coulter Boulevard: Completion of south frontage road along TH 5. The resulting traffic projections are shown in Figure 5. The forecasts are based on a capacity restrained network. The forecasting process is described in Appendix B. The level of congestion of the future highway system depends in large measure on both the capacity improvements undertaken and the availability of a local arterial system to complement and relieve the regional system. The congested segments are shown on Figure 6. The 2020 forecasts suggest the following: . Regional facilities (TH 7, TH 5, TH 41 and TH 212) currently are congested.

In addition, more trips will divert to local routes such as CSAH 18 (Lyman Boulevard), County Road 117 (Galpin Boulevard), CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard) and to other collector routes within the city. . If TH 212 is not constructed by 2020, capacity improvements are needed on the following facilities: TH 212 (existing) 4 lanes east of CSAH 40 TH 41 4 lanes between TH 7 and TH 169 TH 5 6 lanes east of Powers Boulevard TH 5 4 lanes west of th 41 to Waconia CSAH 14 4 lanes east of TH 41 to city limits CSAH 18 4 lanes east ofTH41 to CSAH 101 CSAH 101 4 lanes TH 5 to north city limits CSAH 101 4 lanes TH 5to TH 212 Powers Blvd 4 lanes CSAH 18 to CSAH 14 CSAH 17 4 lanes south of CSAH 18 to TH 212 TH 7 4 lanes between CSAH 10 and 41 . An alternative was analyzed that assumed new TH 212 would be constructed prior to the year 2020. Constructing TH 212 would result in less traffic diverting to local streets. In addition, TH 12 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 212 would result in a significant operational benefits to TH 5 (Chanhassen's key transportation facility). If TH 212 is constructed by 2020, capacity improvements should still be considered on the following facilities: TH7 TH41 CSAH18 CSAH14 4 lanes between CSAH 10 and TH 41 4 lanes between TH 7 and TH 169 4 lanes east of TH 41 to CSAH 101 4 lanes east of CSAH 17(Audubon Road) to city limits 4 lanes TH 5 to CSAH 14 4 lanes TH 5 to north city limits 4 lanes south of CSAH 18 to CSAH 14 4 lanes north of TH 5 to TH 7 CSAH 101 CSAH 101 Powers Blvd CSAH17 ,- I~:;:, )~-~,C'0:/:'~':""" "-~:;A: 2-;-,,:t, ';"'\ ;",::::', . :,:'::"i~~1 i xG:\,~l~ljj~:~W'~~t:f::-;. -"~ :'!,~'-', ~..,';" 'i.:J[f~~,~:?~:'::~ . -. rM'%."'~~' ~.

Regional river crossing bridges (TH 41 and CSAH 101) are congested currently and will become more congested as the region expands. The development of new TH 212 is anticipated to attract more trips from Scott County and TH 169 and the Shakopee by-pass. A new regional river crossing bridge has been shown on the functional classification system plan in the southwestern corner of the City. Agencies should continue to investigate and preserve this corridor or identify how existing corridors could be expanded to address river crossing needs. Improvements proposed for municipal roadways are under direct control of the city and will receive highest priority in the City's Transportation Improvement Program. For roadways on the county system, the city will cooperate with Carver County and encourage the improvement of county roads in accordance with this plan. SYSTEM PLAN -'. The proposed roadway system should be consistent with the anticipated density and distribution of land uses in the city in the year 2020. The purpose of this section is to review the existing functional classification system (Figure 7) and identify potential functional classification and other system changes that should be made to accommodate the anticipated growth. The existing functional classification system is based upon the 1996 Metropolitan Council Functional Classification map with the addition of local collector streets which were identified as part of the previous Chanhassen Plan. The current system includes a revision to TH 101 which was realigned in 1994. Guiding Planning Principles The City of Chanhassen Transportation Plan has been developed using the following guidelines and planning principles: 1 . The functional classification of the roadway system in Chanhassen should conform to the criteria and characteristics summarized in Appendix A. 2. The plan should reflect vehicular travel demand at full development. 3. The full development level, as defined by the Land Use Guide Plan, should incorporate the limiting effects that the identified physical constraints have on the attainment of the anticipated level of development. 4. Compatibility should be maintained between the roadway system in Chanhassen and county and regional roadway systems. 13 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 5. In developing the plan, roadway segments and intersections that cannot accommodate the anticipated vehicular travel demand should be identified. Functional Classification System The functional classification criteria presented in Appendix A were closely followed during the preparation of this plan. The intent of a functional classification system is the creation of a hierarchy of roads that collects and distributes traffic from neighborhoods to the metropolitan highway system in as efficient a manner as possible given the topography and other physical constraints of the area. Places of high demand, such as employment or commercial centers, should be served by roadways higher in the hierarchy such as arterials. Neighborhoods and places of low demand should have roadways of lower classification such as collectors and local streets. It is in this way that the land use plan is integrated into the transportation plan. An important consideration in developing a functional classification system is adherence to the spacing criteria established by the Metropolitan Council (Table 5-5 and Appendix A). The City of Chanhassen is currently considered part of the developing area. As a result, the city has a mixture of urban, suburban, and rural areas. It is anticipated however, that the city will be fully developed by 2020. The ultimate roadway system assumes full development, but the current distinction between developing and rural is important in the establishment of implementation priorities. The proposed City of Chanhassen functional classification system is shown in Figure 8. The classification system that is consistent with the preliminary changes that are being proposed by Carver County in the update of their transportation plan. Since the plan is still under development, there may be some further modification of the functional classification system. The functional classification plan includes the following categories: 1. Principal Arterials 2. Minor Arterials .

"B" Minor Arterials 3. Major Collector Streets 4. Minor Collector Streets 5. Local Streets Principal Arterials Principal arterials are the highest roadway classification and are considered part of the metropolitan highway system. These roads are intended to connect the central business districts of the two central cities with each other and with other regional business concentrations in the metropolitan area. These roads also connect the Twin Cities with important locations outside the metropolitan area. Principal arterials are generally constructed as limited access freeways in the developed area, but may also be constructed as multiple lane divided highways. The following facilities are designated as principal arterials within the City of Chanhassen: Trunk Highway 7 Trunk Highway 7 serves as a key east-west route through the south central portion of Minnesota. It connects the Twin Cities Metropolitan area with cities such as Hutchinson, and Montivideo to the west. It also is one of Chanhassen's major east- west links to the Metropolitan area. It is located in the northern portion of Chanhassen and provides 14 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 Figure 8 Future Functional Classification 15 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 regional access and mobility to primarily residential areas. Trunk Highway 212 The current TH 212 is a principal arterial and connects small rural communities to the Twin Cities Metropolitan area. In Chanhassen, TH 212 travels along the bottom of the river bluff. A new location of this facility has been planned for many years. The new facility is proposed to run diagonally through the southern portion of Chanhassen. The route is proposed to be a four lane divided facility with controlled access. Plans call for two interchanges in Chanhassen, one at CSAH 101 (old TH 101) and the other at CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard). At the present time, official mapping has been completed and the EIS has been finalized. TH 212 has right-of-way preservation status as part of the Metropolitan Council's regional plan. When the new TH 212 is constructed, the existing TH 212 would be reclassified as a minor arterial. New Principal Arterial River Crossing Currently, there is a lack of a principal north-south arterial route in the region. This is due to physical constraints such as Lake Minnetonka, and Minnesota River bluff area as well as past travel patterns favoring east-west travel. However, as the urban area continues to grow, north-south travel demand is anticipated to increase. The spacing from the Bloomington Ferry Bridge (TH 169) to TH 41 is approximately 9 miles. This is inconsistent with the functional classification guidelines. A north-south regional river crossing has been shown previously on the Metropolitan Council's functional classification system. This route is located in southwestern corner of Chanhassen and connects new TH 212 to the Shakopee By-pass. This route is intended to accommodate more of the regional trips between TH 212 and TH 169. This route was designated a principal arterial route in lieu of designating the current alignment of TH 41 a principal arterial route. This was primarily done because TH 41 goes through downtown Chaska and has numerous access points and limited ability for capacity improvements. The existing river crossings on TH 41 and TH 169 are shown to be at capacity based on traffic forecasting work done for the Carver County Transportation Plan. Therefore, expansion of existing river crossings or an additional regional river crossing appears to be needed to address regional growth. Minor Arterials Minor arterials are designed to emphasize mobility over land access, serving to connect cities with adjacent communities and the metropolitan highway system. Major business concentrations and other important traffic generators are often located on minor arterials. In the metropolitan area, minor arterials are divided into two classes "A" Minor Arterials and "B" Minor Arterials. 1. "A" Minor Arterials The Metropolitan Council has identified minor arterials that are of regional importance because they relieve, expand, or complement the principal arterial system. These roads have been labeled "A" minor arterials and have been categorized into four types: . Relievers - Minor arterials that provide direct relief for metropolitan highway traffic. . Expanders - Routes that provide a way to make connections between developing areas outside the 1-494, 1-694 interstate ring. . Connectors - Roads that would provide good, safe connections to and among town centers in the transitional and rural areas in the area. . Augmenters - Roadways that augment principal arterials within the interstate ring or beltway. To the extent possible, "A" minor arterials are the most continuous and form a grid network over the entire city. However, topographic constraints and the location of existing highways and existing land uses can result in deviations from the spacing guidelines. Nevertheless, continuity and connectivity among the "A" minor arterials and the principal arterials allows the arterial network to provide important mobility functions throughout the city. In Chanhassen, the current spacing of "A" Minor arterials is approximately 3 miles (spacing between TH 101 and TH 41). The desirable spacing for "A" minor arterials is considered to be % to 1 miles for 16 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 fully developed areas. Because Chanhassen is anticipated to be fully developed by the year 2020, additional "A" minor arterials should be designated to maintain mobility throughout the City. The "A" Minor Arterials that are recommended in Chanhassen include the following: Trunk Highway 5 - Arboretum Boulevard Trunk Highway 5 is the most important existing roadway in Chanhassen functioning as the City's transportation backbone. In the early 1970's, TH 5 was considered a principal arterial route. This designation has changed over time because of the close proximity of TH 7 and lack of continuity west of Carver County. Currently, TH 5 serves as the major link for Chanhassen to the metropolitan area. In addition, TH 5 provides regional access to a large number of businesses and industrial properties in the area. The concentration of these large employers results in some "reverse commuting" patterns as well as destinations for many trips coming in to Chanhassen from the west. Even though this route is designated as a minor arterial, it provides many functions similar to TH 7 and TH 212 which are principal arterial routes. As a result, it is recommended that the city continue to support improvement and access management strategies that would maintain the mobility of this route. Trunk Highway 41 - Hazeltine Boulevard Another "A" minor arterial that has many principal arterial characteristics is TH 41. This route is located in western Chanhassen and is the only major north-south river crossing west of the Bloomington Ferry Bridge (9 miles to the east) that connects TH 169, TH 212, TH 5 and TH 7. As a result, this route will continue to be an important link serving Carver County and the City of Chanhassen. Chanhassen and Chaska have done a good job in protecting the mobility of this corridor by providing limited access and proper development setbacks. CSAH 101 (old TH 101) - Great Plains Boulevard This designation is consistent with the Metropolitan Council's Functional Classification Plan and Hennepin County's designation. This designation is consistent with the spacing guidelines for developing areas. The current spacing of "A" minor arterial routes west of 1-494 are between 1 and1 V2 miles. Other factors considered include: . The projected year 2020 daily volumes are at the upper limit or exceed the recommended guidelines for volumes carried by a collector. . The roadway connects principal and other minor arterial routes thereby providing an important mobility function for the region. . The City has historically limited direct access to CSAH 101 and will continue to do so. Highway 169/212 - Flying Cloud Drive Assuming new TH 212 is eventually constructed, old TH 212 would be downgraded from a principal arterial route to an "A" minor arterial. TH 169/212 is a two lane undivided highway with limited access control on the segment within Chanhassen; however, the river bluff substantial restricts ability to access this route. The route would continue to link Chaska and CSAH 101 river crossing with Twin Cities Metropolitan area. The route would fits the spacing guidelines for "A" minor arterial routes and provides east-west traffic flow below the bluff. CSAH 17 - Powers Boulevard County State Aid Highway 17 is currently classified as a "B" minor arterial on the Metropolitan Council's Functional Classification Plan. It is recommended that this route be upgraded to an "A" minor arterial based on the spacing with other similar north-south routes and the connections that it provides to other arterial facilities such as CSAH 14 (Pioneer Trail), new TH 212 (future interchange), TH 5, and TH 7. The spacing of this roadway with CSAH 101 to the east is approximately one mile; however, there are physical barriers (lakes and wetlands) that limit the connections between these routes. The spacing of this route with TH 41 to the west is approximately two miles. As the City of Chanhassen develops, this facility will provide mobility for north-south traffic flow to important destinations within the city as well as the regional transportation system. It is recognized that the character of CSAH 17 changes as it extends north into Hennepin County (CSAH 82). The roadway becomes narrower and setbacks are limited. 17 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 CSAH 19 - Galpin Boulevard County State Aid Highway 19 is currently classified as a "B" minor arterial on the Metropolitan Council's Functional Classification Plan. This route is looked at in combination with the southern portion of CSAH 17 (portion south of CSAH 18). Together these routes form a north-south connection between old TH 212 and TH 5. It is recommended that this route be upgraded to an "A" minor arterial based on the spacing with other similar north-south routes and the connections that it provides to other arterial facilities such as old TH 212, CSAH 14 (Pioneer Trail), and TH 5. The spacing of this roadway with CSAH 101 to the east is approximately one mile; however, there are physical barriers (lakes and wetlands) that limit the connections between these routes. The spacing of this route with TH 41 to the west is approximately two miles. As the City of Chanhassen develops, this facility will provide mobility for north-south traffic flow to important destinations within the city as well as the regional transportation system. CSAH 17 - Audubon Road County State Aid Highway 17 is currently classified as a "B" minor arterial on the Metropolitan Council's Functional Classification Plan. This route is looked at in combination with CSAH 19 (portion north of CSAH 18). Together these routes form a north- south connection between old TH 212 and TH 5. It is recommended that this route be upgraded to an "An minor arterial based on the spacing with other similar north-south routes and the connections that it provides to other arterial facilities such as old TH 212, CSAH 14 (Pioneer Trail), and TH 5. The spacing of this roadway with CSAH 101 to the east is approximately one mile; however, there are physical barriers (lakes and wetlands) that limit the connections between these routes. The spacing of this route with TH 41 to the west is approximately two miles. As the City of Chanhassen develops, this facility will provide mobility for north-south traffic flow to important destinations within the city as well as the regional transportation system. CSAH 18 - Lyman Boulevard Lyman Boulevard is currently designated as a "B" minor arterial. It is an east-west route that parallels TH 5 one to 1.5 miles to the south. It currently connects TH 41, CSAH 17 and CSAH 101. However, an extension is planned to the west of TH 41 that would follow the 82nd Street corridor (adjacent to Chanhassen City limits). The spacing guidelines are consistent with designation of an "A" minor arterial for this route. East of TH 41, Lyman Boulevard is proposed as an "A" minor arterial to CSAH 101. West of TH 41, Lyman Boulevard is proposed to remain as a "B" minor arterial because the character of the facility will change as it parallels the Arboretum. 2. "B" Minor Arterials The Metropolitan Council defines all minor arterials other than "A" minor arterials as "B" minor arterials. These roadways serve a citywide function. Medium to long distance trips use the "B" minor arterial system. When combined with the "A" minor arterial system, most places in the city are within a mile of such a roadway. There is one route in the City of Chanhassen that is proposed as "B" minor arterial. This route is described as follows: CSAH 18 - Lyman Boulevard West of TH 41 (see description of Lyman under "A" minor arterials). Collectors Collectors are designed to serve shorter trips that occur entirely within the city and to provide access from neighborhoods to the arterial system. These roads supplement the arterial system in the sense that they emphasize mobility over land access, but they are expected, because of their locations, to carry less traffic than arterial roads. The following roadways are recommended as Collectors in Chanhassen. 1. Class I (major) Collectors: . Minnewashta Parkway - This street serves as the only north/south route between TH 5 and TH 7, west of Lake Minnewashta. It is located such that it likely serves some through trips from outside the city along TH 5 traveling north to TH 7, as well as locally generated traffic along its route. This area has undergone a fairly significant amount of development but there is considerably more development potential that is likely to be realized over the next decade. 18 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 . Galpin Boulevard (CSAH 117) north of TH 5 - This route serves to connect primary residential areas to TH 7 and TH 5. It parallels TH 41 to the west. . Lake Drive - Lake Drive is being developed to serve two functions. These include local access south of TH 5 and a parallel collector to TH 5 capable of carrying off-loaded local trips of short to medium length. The City undertook a joint project with MnDOT and the City of Eden Prairie to extend Lake Drive east to the City line where it merges with the signalized intersection at TH 5 and Dell Road. . Lake Lucy Road - Lake Lucy Road serves as the only east west connector between CSAH 17 and TH 41 in northern Chanhassen. . Coulter Boulevard - Coulter Boulevard is being developed to serve two functions. These include local access south of TH 5 and a parallel collector to TH 5 capable of carrying off-loaded local trips of short to medium length. . New east-west street - North of Pioneer Trail between Powers Boulevard and CSAH 101. . Kerber Boulevard - Main local access from residential area to downtown. . Market Boulevard - Main connection between downtown and TH 5. . Century Boulevard -- North-south collector route between West 82nd Street and TH 5. . Bluff Creek Drive - Functions as collector route between Pioneer Trail and TH 212. . West 78th Street - North frontage road along TH5. . Lyman Boulevard - (CSAH 101 east to city limits). Connects CSAH 101 to Eden Prairie. 2. Class II (minor) Collectors (Class II collectors focus on inter- and intra- neighborhood connections) : . Pleasant View Road - Pleasant View Road serves as the only east/west connection between CSAH 17 and CSAH 101 in northern Chanhassen. . Longacres Drive - Functions as a neighborhood connection between TH 41 and CR 117 (Galpin Boulevard). . Park Road - Functions as business park connection between Audubon Road and Powers Boulevard. The ultimate roadway system is based upon the functional classification presented above. It reflects full development of the city according to the land use plan and socioeconomic forecasts presented earlier. The roadway cross-section identified for each classification would be expected to be in place at the time full development is achieved. RECOMMENDED ROADWAY PLAN Traffic on Chanhassen's roadway system will continue to increase due to new commercial, residential and industrial development and changes in socio-economic conditions. The impact of added traffic will be more evident on the arterial and collector routes. However, failure to address capacity issues on major routes will result in more traffic diverting to local streets. This can result in safety, speed and other undesirable impacts to collector routes. In order to ensure that traffic concerns are addressed thoroughly and comprehensively, the transportation chapter of the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan contains a planned and recommended roadway system for the year 2020 (Figure 9). This system is the result of both current and past planning efforts including the 1980 and 1991 Comprehensive Plans, the Year 2005 Land Use and Transportation Study, the Highway 101/5 Preliminary Alignment and Land Use Corridor Study, the Highway 5 Corridor Land Use Design Study, the 1990 Eastern Carver County Transportation Study (ECCTS), and the 1998 Carver County Transportation Study. The following major improvements are components of the recommended and planned transportation system: 19 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 Trunk Highway 5 - As was referenced previously in this report, TH 5 is scheduled to be improved by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. By approximately 2002, TH 5 will exist as a four lane road from TH 41 in Chanhassen to 1-494 in Eden Prairie. This improvement, which will include turn lanes, will help mitigate peak hour traffic congestion in Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. The City will continue to work to get TH 5 improved to Chanhassen's western border. The current Carver County Transportation Plan indicates a need to 4 lane Hwy. 5 west towards Waconia to accommodate traffic flows. Crosstown HighwaylTownline Road - This improvement entailed the extension of Townline Road from 1-494 west to CSAH 101 at the Chanhassen-Eden Prairie-Minnetonka border. The extension of this route, completed in 1998, will have a major impact on CSAH 101 which serves as the common Chanhassen/Eden Prairie boundary north of TH 5. State Trunk Highway 212 - Construction of TH 212 along a new alignment has been under consideration since the early 1950's. Cities along the corridor have cooperated in providing funding to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for the project and have officially mapped the right-of-way within the corridor. Plans call for TH 212 to be built as a four lane freeway facility. At present, the route will be constructed to CSAH 4 over the next two years. The project is only partially funded. Dell Road/West 184th Avenue - Dell Road in Eden Prairie parallels CSAH 101 and is classified by the City of Eden Prairie as a collector roadway north to TH 5 and a minor arterial south of TH 5. It provides a connection from Townline Road on the north to Pioneer Trail on the south. Depending upon its design and access to the State Trunk Highway system, Dell Road could playa greater or lesser traffic role than envisioned by the City of Eden Prairie. The Dell Road/TH 5 intersection was signalized as part of the TH 5 improvement project. Lake Drive - Lake Drive is a planned east/west collector street located south of TH 5. This route will serve as an important collector for Chanhassen's eastern industrial area. The last segment of Lake Drive still to be completed will connect Audubon Road to Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17). The alignment of this route south of TH 5 separates planned industrial uses from planned residential uses. County State Aid Highway 101 (Old TH 101 - Planning efforts since 1980 have consistently identified the need for improvements to CSAH 101. A design study for the roadway to Town Line Road is scheduled to be completed in 1998. Planned improvements north of TH 5 consist primarily of reconstruction and realignment of the route north of the intersection of CSAH 101 and West 78th Street to effectuate better traffic flow. South of TH 5 major improvements are needed. The 1980 and 1991 Comprehensive Plans and the . 'H!r,CH~ \;;ES - TW'C ....~~ F.o\C'''j'jIES -.-...- T,.~"O LI...\;; =ACLrhZS ('I')'<<~1In;) -_.

In reviewing the CSAH 101 20 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 corridor, the City recognized that since the realignment will involve total reconstruction, a unique opportunity exists to create CSAH 101 as an attractive approach to the community. The planned interchange of TH 212 and CSAH 101 will provide downtown Chanhassen and the industrial area with a new entrance. In order to maximize visual and functional concerns, CSAH 101 is planned for reconstruction as a boulevard/parkway with a landscaped median area from new TH 212 to TH 5. The alignment of CSAH 101 as it approaches TH 5 was relocated to the west to intersect Market Boulevard. TH 5 will serve as a brief east/west link for CSAH 101 between Market Boulevard and Dakota Avenue where the route will continue to the north. CSAH 101 north of TH 5 and south of TH 212 are clearly in need of improvements. These improvements are justified today based on capacity and safety concerns. The 1998 Carver County Plan projects over 20,000 trips per day on the segment north of TH 5 and 13,000 on the segment south of TH 5. West 78th Street (TH 41 To CSAH 17) - A frontage road along the north side of Highway 5 between CSAH 17 and TH 41 is planned to serve short term and eventually long term development in the area. In 1997 the frontage road was constructed to Lake Ann Park and the access into Lake Ann Park at TH 5 was closed. The frontage road will also provide direct access to the residential and neighborhood commercial uses planned along the north side of TH5. Trunk Highway 7 (North Minnewashta Area) - A study of the entire TH 7 corridor was completed in late 1986. Various alternatives were identified to improve the corridor along the north side of Lake Minnewashta. The alternatives involved a variety of street closures and re-routings in the residential areas east of Minnewashta Parkway. The goal of the recommendations is to reduce the total number of intersections along the route thereby improving traffic flow. At the present time, Chanhassen and the other communities along the corridor are working with MnDOT in implementing the recommendations as funding becomes available, which is currently programmed for 2000 and 2001. Trunk Highway 41 . Historically, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has had an interest in realigning and extending TH 41 south to and across the Minnesota River. To date, however, there are no plans to actually implement a new road along this alignment. This alignment is identified on the Carver County Transportation Plan as a "study and/or reserve right-of-way" corridor. It is not currently identified on Chanhassen's transportation system, however, it can be added if the County or State feel that the realignment is still justified. If appropriate, the City of Chanhassen will work with Carver County and the City of Chaska to further define the need for the realignment of TH 41 including the possibility of a new river crossing. However, if the current alignment is retained, TH 41 would need to be upgraded to a four lane cross section from TH 5 south into Chaska. In addition, the vertical alignment of the south approach to T. H. 5 must be reduced to improve the safety of this heavily used intersection. County State Aid Highway 101/Proposed TH 212 and CSAH 17/Proposed TH 212 Interchanges - Plans for new TH 212 call for an interchange at CSAH 101 in Chanhassen and construction of an interchange at CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard) and TH 212. Coulter Boulevard - At the present time, the Chanhassen transportation system does not accommodate east/west movements, south of TH 5 between Galpin Boulevard and TH 41. A collector roadway system in this area is needed to provide access to property and to discourage local trips from using TH 5. Coulter Boulevard will be completed from west of Galpin to TH 41 where it will terminate at a temporary cul-de-sac in 1998. The connection of Coulter Boulevard to TH 41 cannot be made until MnDOT reconstructs TH 41. New Regional River Crossing: South of New TH 212 to TH 169 - Currently, TH 41 and CSAH 101 bridges serve the river crossing needs for the region. both these routes are anticipated to be significantly over capacity. A regional river crossing has been identified on past plans, however, a limited amount of work has begun to preserve a corridor for this facility. The City should work with adjacent communities, Mn/DOT and the Metropolitan Council to determine potential alternatives to address capacity needs in the region. 21 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 OTHER RECOMMENDED LOCAL STREET IMPROVEMENTS As Chanhassen continues to develop, transportation conflicts and inconsistencies will become evident. These situations, unlike planning for major routes, are not predictable since they result from the merging of existing and new land use patterns. The Comprehensive Plan can be a useful tool in assisting the City in resolving these local access situations. It is the city's policy to require interconnections between neighborhoods to foster a sense of community, to improve safety, and to provide convenient access for residents. Often, during the subdivision review process, the need for future extension of local streets becomes apparent. As a result, access concepts are developed to assist in creating an acceptable configuration for the plat and as a guide for the future development of adjoining parcels. It is the City's intent that the Comprehensive Plan serve as an implementation tool by providing a means by which to record these access plans, legitimizing them by nature of the fact that they are approved by the City Council prior to recording. It also will provide a useful means of providing information to residents and developers seeking information or future development potential. These concept plans are illustrated below. Additional concept plans will be added to this document over time as they are developed. Tanadoona Drive-Dogwood Road/Crimson Bay Road - At the present time, Crimson Bay Road does not connect to Dogwood Road to Tanadoona Drive. Correspondingly, both of these neighborhoods have only one means of egress/ ingress. A future street connection in this area is needed to alleviate existing access problems. Carver Beach Road Conditions. Chanhassen's Carver Beach neighborhood was one of the first residential developments on Lotus Lake. This area consists of smaller lots and narrow rights-of-way. Drainage problems occur due to topography and a lack of storm sewer facilities in some portions of the area. Improvement of existing conditions can only occur in a comprehensive manner involving the reconstruction of both streets and utility systems. Because of development constraints, typical street standards will not be applicable in this area. Nez Perce/Pleasant View Road Connection - During review of the Vineland Forest plat, it was evident that a connection between Nez Perce/ Lake Lucy Road and Pleasant View Road was warranted since there was no north/south connection between CSAH 17 and Lotus Lake. Improved access is needed for local trips and to ensure the adequate provision of emergency services. At the same time, there were concerns voiced regarding the introduction of additional trips onto Pleasant View Road since the street already suffers from capacity and design constraints. Therefore, it was determined that the Pleasant View Road intersection should be located as far west as possible at the Peaceful Lane intersection. Melody Hill connection between Chaska Road and Murray Hill Road.- This connection would provide an alternate means of access to the Minnetonka Middle School. In addition, it would provide local access for residents to the neighborhood commercial center at TH 7 and TH 41. Currently, residents must drive in to Shorewood and loop back on Chaska Road to reach these areas. This connection would provide only local access in this area, since the completion of Lake Lucy Road to the south will serve as the primary east/west connection for northern Chanhassen between Galpin Boulevard and TH 41 . Timberwood Drive/Stone Creek Court - The neighborhoods of limberwood Estates and Stone Creek are separated by approximately 30 feet of unfinished roads. This connection would permit the residents of Timberwood Estates to access the Bluff Creek trail system. In addition, this connection could provide a secondary access for limberwood Estates for residents and emergency vehicles. Kiowa Trail/Springfield Drive - Back-to-back cul-de- sacs are at the Kiowa Trail connection. The pavement for the northern cul-de-sac is installed to the project property line. A breakaway barricade is installed to prohibit through traffic on Kiowa Trail. The cul-de-sac is temporary until either area residents petition the city to open the connection or Highway 212 is constructed, at which time traffic patterns will be changed. 22 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 ALTERNATIVE MODES Transit Transit needs in Chanhassen were identified in the Metropolitan Council's Transit Redesign (1996). The findings and recommendations from this study are summarized below. Metropolitan Council's Transit Redesign The Transit Redesign serves as a regional policy framework for the promotion of transit throughout the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Within this context, four transit market areas plus localized pockets were defined based on population and employment densities. Chanhassen has been identified with Area IV, indicating a population density less than 5 persons per acre. As a result, transit in Chanhassen should emphasize 1) Small bus or Dial-A-Ride service providing county or rural circulation, and 2) commuter bus service tied to major park-and-ride lots to create travel volume. In addition, the Transit Redesign Study identified localized pocket that have higher population and job densities than those for Area IV. Chanhassen has one pocket located at the TH 51TH 41 intersection. Suggested service in pockets is similar to Area IV except that the commuter bus service may have localized service in addition to linking with major park-and-ride lots. Although private cars comprise the most commonly used mode of transportation for Chanhassen residents, mass transit serves as an important alternative to automobile use and serves as one leg of a multi-model transportation strategy for the community. Two forms of mass transit, buses and light rail/commuter rail are specific components of this plan. Plans for these services are outlined as follows: Buses In late 1986, Chanhassen joined the cities of Eden Prairie and Chaska in the creation of the Southwest Area Transit Commission, operated under a joint powers agreement between the communities, to provide transit service known as the Southwest Metro. Chanhassen's contract with Chaska and Eden Prairie is a joint powers agreement renewable on an annual basis. The City will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the Southwest Metro program in providing cost effective transit service to the City of Chanhassen. There are several services provided by Southwest Metro: Express Service - This service provides express service for passengers working in downtown Minneapolis. Riders are picked up at the park and ride lot in Chanhassen and driven to downtown Minneapolis without stopping. At the end of the workday, the service is reversed taking passengers back to Chanhassen in an expressed manner. Tele-bus - Residents are able to make reservations for dial-a-ride bus service which provides for address to address transit within Chanhassen, Chaska, and Eden Prairie. Individuals may also have standing reservations for this service, providing transit service for their work needs, service needs, and to provide transit for children after school. Circulator - Circulator bus service within the three communities served by Southwest Metro was established in 1997. This service connects riders to major destination points in the three cities. This service provides direct connections for Chanhassen residents to Chaska and Eden Prairie. Reverse Commute - To serve business in the area, the local Chambers of Commerce created a Reverse Commute Task Force which in conjunction with other agencies helps to match employees in Minneapolis with businesses in Chanhassen. These routes start in Minneapolis and bring passengers to job sites in Chanhassen. Starting with only five passengers in 1992, the program has grown to serve approximately 400 - 450 passengers and 45 - 50 employers. The City's rapid growth as an employment concentration warrants service to facilitate work trips. Special Routes - Southwest Metro provides special service routes to regional locations including Southdale, the Mall of America, and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Other Services - Because the agencies mission is to meet the transit needs of the community, Southwest Metro provides a variety of other transit opportunities. For example, group rides are available for a variety of business, schools, 23 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 organization, and others. Wherever possible, Southwest Metro provides buses for little or not charge for community purposes in Chanhassen and other service communities. Park-and-Ride Chanhassen currently maintains a park-and-ride stop on Market Boulevard. Eventually, the city would like to locate another stop in a location that provides improved utilization and permanent parking facilities. However, the city will continue to support a park- and-ride presence in the downtown location. The city will also work with Southwest Metro to locate park and ride stops at the future Hwy. 101/Hwy. 212 interchange and potentially at the east end of the Central Business District. Light Rail Transit (LRT)/Commuter Rail Light rail transit is a mode of transportation that is currently being considered for construction in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. In 1987, Hennepin County received authorization from the State Legislature to prepare a Comprehensive LRT System Plan for Hennepin County. The Hennepin County Board intends to implement light rail transit in the county. Toward that end, the County established the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority to administer, at least, the initial stage of the system. Hennepin County owns railroad right-of-way from downtown Minneapolis to Victoria. Other counties in the metropolitan area have followed Hennepin County's lead and have also established railroad authorities. Early system planning has identified two routes, one or both of which may ultimately be extended into Chanhassen (Figure 10). Of the two, the northern alignment has received the highest priority. Although both alignments provide potential benefits to Chanhassen residents, neither significantly impacts the city in terms of land use and direct accessibility. There are no proposed station sites within Chanhassen's borders. The northern alignment which has an identified station in Excelsior provides the most benefit to Chanhassen since the city's population resides primarily in the northern half of the community. The southern alignment travels along the bluff area in southern Chanhassen which is presently outside of the MUSA line area and not likely to see urban development within the near future. As a result, it is viewed as somewhat of a commuting route from Chaska to downtown Minneapolis and various stations along the route. If the northern route is eventually implemented, Chanhassen residents wishing to use the system will have to rely on bus transit connections to Excelsior (if available) or will require park and ride sites in the vicinity of the station. The City will continue to monitor the implementation of light rail and station plans to assess their adequacy and their impact on existing private patterns and bus transit systems. Commuter Rail - The city supports the continuing investigation of Commuter Rail as a transportation alternative for the community, the region, and the state. The Twin City & Western Line, which runs through the heart of Chanhassen is currently under consideration as a possible route. Travel Demand Management Lastly, the city supports investigation of TOM strategies to reduce trip levels on area roads.

Travel Demand Management (TOM) programs will also provide an opportunity to reduce travel demand on the regional highway system. The employment concentrations anticipated for the area, particularly in the office complexes, provide the city with a tremendous opportunity to implement TOM programs. As part of its standard approval process, the city will work with new employers locating in the area to ensure that employers will: . promote carpooling by providing information on carpooling and vanpooling to employees on a regular basis, providing preferential parking and guaranteed-ride home; . encourage employees to participate in Minnesota Rideshare's ride-matching program; and . offer employees flexible work hours and set a goal to reduce peak hour trips by 10 percent; In addition, every employer, regardless of size, will be required to provide a convenient carpool/ vanpool drop-off site that does not interfere with other traffic. This drop-off site will be consistent with applicable ADA requirements. The city may allow a group of employers to provide a shared drop-off site as long as the site is accessible to all participating employers. It will be the goal of the city to reduce peak hour trip generation. Airports There are no existing or planned airports within the City of Chanhassen. Commercial air service is available at Twin Cities International Airport and general aviation is available at Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie. Flying Cloud Airport is approximately 4 miles east of the City of Chanhassen. Despite the lack of airports in Chanhassen, the City has two primary aviation concerns: first, that physical obstructions are controlled and secondly, seaplane operations. At the present time, the tallest man made structures within Chanhassen are the city's water towers, which average 135 feet. Structures under 200 feet are not considered obstructions under State rules. Radio towers are the only potential structures that may exceed the 200 foot threshold. If proposals for towers occur, the city will require that they comply with all State, Federal and local requirements. Lakes Minnewashta and Riley are used by seaplanes at the present time. To date, there have been few conflicts between boat traffic and seaplane usage. Continued usage in these areas is not viewed as a major issue due to the small number of aircraft and off peak hour operation by their owners. If in the future, the numbers of aircraft increases or the potential for serious usage conflicts occurs, the city may work with state and regional authorities to limit or ban seaplane usage. Trails And Sidewalks While discussed primarily as part of the recreation element in the Comprehensive Plan, the city desires to be pedestrian friendly. To accomplish this, the city must assure that city improvements and private developments provide pedestrian and bicycle linkages. An integral component of the transportation system is the pedestrian and bicycle sidewalks and trails (Figure 11). The city continues to plan for an extensive trail system throughout the community. These trails will provide linkages between individual neighborhoods as well as connecting these neighborhoods to the rest of the community. As new development is proposed and reviewed, the city will continue to require that these pedestrian linkages be included as part of the development. RELATIONSHIP OF THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN TO THE METROPOLITAN SYSTEM In 1997 the Metropolitan Council issued a Systems Information Statement to the City of Chanhassen. The city was encouraged to address issues identified in the Statement, and to ensure that planning in Chanhassen was consistent with the Metropolitan Council's newly revised Transportation Policy Plan. This section is intended to identify how the revisions to the City's Transportation Plan support the Metropolitan Council's Plan. 25 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 As the region continues to grow, utilization of the metropolitan highway system is expected to increase. In some cases, these facilities will become congested. Because of the regional function that these facilities perform, many of the factors affecting segments that are in the City of Chanhassen are beyond the city's control. Nevertheless, the city supports the desire to resolve transportation issues by coordinating its own efforts with those of adjacent communities, Carver County, Hennepin County, the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and the Metropolitan Council. To this effect, the city has undertaken a comprehensive approach for dealing with these transportation issues. This approach considers the following methods for dealing with current and future problems: (1) an updated roadway plan, (2) support of regional programs and activities; and (3) initiation of a TOM program. The city's approach to each of these is described below: 1 . The city has adopted a Transportation Plan that recognizes the need to support the metropolitan highway system. The major elements of the new plan are: . An arterial and collector system spaced in accordance with Metropolitan Council guidelines contained in the Transportation Policy Plan. . An arterial system that provides both east- west and north-south continuity between the City of Chanhassen and adjacent communities, thus providing alternatives to the metropolitan system for medium and long-distance inter-community trips. . Arterials and collectors that are parallel to the metropolitan system, thus providing alternate routes for short and medium length trips, and eliminating them from the metropolitan system. 2. The City of Chanhassen supports Metropolitan Council and MnDOT plans to improve the metropolitan transportation system in the following areas: . Installation of ramp metering and bypass lanes aimed at preserving the level of service on the metropolitan highway system. To this end, the city will coordinate site-specific installations with MnDOT in order to develop geometric designs at access streets that will accommodate the resulting queues and reduce the traffic impacts on the local street system. · The city supports the efforts of MnDOT to construct TH 212. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION Previous sections have examined future travel demand. have suggested guidelines for developing a Transportation Plan, and have recommended a Plan that is responsive to these considerations. This section concentrates on examining the steps necessary to implement the Transportation Plan. It discusses a general strategy for moving from 1998 to the future in accomplishing the plan. Transportation Plan Adoption By adopting the Transportation Plan, the City Council will establish the guidelines by which decisions regarding transportation facilities will be made in Chanhassen. It should be revised as necessary to respond to changing conditions and needs. The city should periodically review the assumptions under which the plan was developed, including estimates of future development, population trends, changing financial resources, energy considerations, and citizen and governmental input, and update the plan accordingly. The plan should be circulated widely so that residents and the business community are aware of the opportunities and limitations that the plan provides, thus enabling all interested parties to plan with full knowledge. Jurisdictional Realignment Process In general, it is good policy that Carver County and the State (MnDOT) assume responsibility for the arterial system, and that the city assume responsibility for the collector and local street systems. This is, to a large extent, the situation in 26 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 Figure 11 Trail Map 27 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 Chanhassen. Currently, Carver County has accepted the turnback of TH 101. Other roadways that are under consideration for jurisdiction change include: . County Road 117 (Galpin Boulevard) from TH 5 to the north City limits (turn back from County to City). This roadway is designated as a local collector street and does not function to serve regional or inter-county type traffic. Old TH 212 from west city limits to east city limits. Assumes new TH 212 is constructed. Old TH 212 would then revert to function as an "A" Minor Arterial and revert to county jurisdiction. . . TH 5 and TH 41 - The TSP developed by MnDOT indicated that all non-principal arterial routes in the metropolitan area should be considered for turnback. This included both TH 5 and TH 41. These routes currently playa critical role in the region. A jurisdictional change should not be considered unless new TH 212 is constructed and a new river crossing is made linking new TH 212 and TH 169. Access Management The City of Chanhassen, through its ordinances, has authority to approve developments contiguous to city streets. As part of this process, the city w.i11 work with MnDOT and Carver County on managing access to all arterial and important collector routes within the city. Access guidelines are important because they define a starting point for balancing property access, safety and mobility concerns. Transportation agencies regularly receive requests for additional access (e.~., new public streets, commercial driveways, residential and field accesses) and these requests are evaluated by numerous agencies and committees. Because of the number of individuals and agencies involved, it is easy to have inconsistent application of access controls. This can result in confusion between agencies, developers, and property owners, as well as long-term safety and mobility problems. Standard access guidelines can be used to improve communication, enhance safety, and maintain the capacity and mobility of important transportation corridors. In addition, access guidelines may be used to respond to access requests and to promote good access practices such as: · Alignment with other existing access points · Adequate spacing to separate and reduce conflicts, and · Encouragement of indirect access rather than direct access on high-speed, high-volume arterial routes. Providing access control in some form, whether it is through grade-separated crossings, frontage roads or right-in/right-out entrances and exits, reduce~ the number of conflicts and, therefore, reduces accident potential. A number of studies have demonstrated a direct relationship between the number of full access points and the number of accidents, including FHWA Access Research Report No. FHWA-RD-91-044. The results of this federal study are presented in Figure 12. Based on current Minnesota Statutes, access may be restricted as follows: . MnDOT may restrict access to right-in/right-out only, or to a single-access point, but some form of access must be granted to every parcel (the State cannot force a land-locked situation). To restrict access to a greater degree, MnDOT must acquire the right to access through negotiation or eminent domain. MnDOT can also affect access through its comments to local governmental units on plats and through its driveway access permitting process. . Cities and counties may control access through zoning and land subdivision regulations as well as other review procedures and processes. Any number of means may be used to control access, including access points per land parcel and distance between access points. In fact, direct access may be prohibited altogether if an alternative, indirect access is available. Since stronger access controls are available at the County and city level and these units of government are usually involved at the planning stages, access guidelines and corridor management practices 28 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 should be focused at this level. However, the potential long-term benefits of access management requires support and good communication at all governmental levels. Access guidelines have been developed for public streets and private accesses (Table 6 and Table 7). The implementation of the guidelines can be achieved through a number of different methods, e.g., land use regulations, subdivision regulations, access permit processes, and access/transportation advisory committees. These processes should be developed so that they can deal with situations that either are outside the guidelines or are hardship cases. In existing corridors where significant development has occurred, the number of existing access points is likely to exceed the access guidelines. Unless these areas are undergoing redevelopment, their access must be addressed or approached differently. The proposed access control approach is to minimize any new accesses while consolidating and/or reducing existing access points as redevelopment occurs. It is important to consider the following points when reviewing the guidelines and addressing access issues: . The guidelines will not cover every access situation. . Guidelines should be used as long-term goals, not as absolute rules. . Maintaining some flexibility is important in promoting access consolidation. . Approach to implementation is as important as the guidelines themselves. . Existing physical barriers or constraints need to be considered. The following access controls/policies offer some alternatives for minimizing access and access problems: Encourage shared driveways and internal circulation plans. If indirect access cannot be achieved during plat reviews, promote internal site circulation using shared access points. Restrict turning movements to reduce conflicts. If access points cannot be eliminated, consider turning movement restrictions (e.g., left-in only, or right-in/ right-out only) through channelization, such as installation of raised median, or signing. Eliminating a single turning movement can significantly reduce vehicle conflicts and potential accidents. Develop parallel street systems for carrying local traffic. Make sure that important arterial routes have a good parallel street system to provide the local access function and to carry shorter local trips. Develop proper setbacks for future frontage roads. If frontage roads cannot be justified (benefits do not outweigh costs), make sure that proper building and parking lot setbacks are established so that future frontage roads can be installed with minimal impacts. Develop proper secondary street spacing. When reviewing plats and new development proposals, be sure that they provide proper intersection spacing for future signals. As a guideline, signalized intersections should be limited to through streets with spacing between one-quarter mile and two-thirds mile depending upon the type of street. Collector streets should provide some continuity and connectivity with other street systems. Encourage proper lot layout to minimize access points. Promote direct residential access points onto local routes, not arterials or major collectors. Direct residential access off arterial or collector routes can result in complaints when traffic levels increase. In rural areas, where farms have one access point per 40-acre entitlement and where they cluster lots in one portion of the farmstead, access should be encouraged off local roads, not high-speed, high- volume state or county roads. Encourage connectivity between developments. Individual developments should align streets to provide access to existing developments or reserve right-of-way to provide for future connections to adjacent developments. This promotes neighborhood connectivity, good emergency services, and more efficient travel for mail, garbage and bus services as well as street maintenance activities. Consider official map process for important corridors. Important arterial corridors or future interchange areas that are located in development- 29 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 prone areas can be protected through an official mapping process. Local agencies should revise zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations to provide for dedication of officially mapped corridors at the time of platting. Establish Improvement Programs An overall strategy of improvement, tempered by fiscal constraints, begins with an analysis of key intersection capacity improvement projects, safety improvements and the protection of access by establishing strict standards and by designating necessary right-of-way. Identifying future needs for facility rights-of-way followed by timely "set-aside" programs will, in the long run, save the community much in the way of financial resources. Roadway improvements should also be geared toward providing for transit needs, particularly in the area of meeting turning radii, traffic signals and adequate roadway structure. It should be pointed out that non-motorized travel needs also must be carefully considered. Chanhassen will continue its policy of designating sufficient right-of-way to provide for sidewalk and/or bikeway needs. SOURCES OF FUNDING Roadways under city jurisdiction are maintained, preserved, constructed and re-constructed by the City's Department of Public Works and Engineering. Funding for these activities, including the administrative costs of operating the department, are obtained from a variety of sources including ad valorem taxes, special assessments, development fees and tax increment financing. A major concern of the City is the availability of sufficient funds for maintenance and construction activities. If funds are unavailable, needed projects may be delayed or terminated and maintenance of existing facilities may fall short of acceptable standards. The following discussion explains the existing sources of funding and potential new sources of revenue. State Aid An extremely important source of revenue to the City is state-aid. A network of city streets called Municipal State-Aid Streets (M.S.A.S.) is eligible for funding assistance with revenue from the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund. This fund acts as a distribution or tax clearance fund, and tax income received into the fund is transferred to various transportation related funds for expenditure. The fund receives revenue from two principal sources: 1) gasoline taxes, and 2) vehicle registration taxes. These two sources are permanently dedicated to this fund. Ninety-five percent of the net proceeds of the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund are distributed annually according to a constitutionally mandated formula: 62 percent to the Trunk Highway Fund, 29 percent to the County State-Aid Highway Fund, and 9 percent to the Municipal State-Aid Street Fund. Assessments Property that benefits from a roadway scheduled for improvement may be assessed for a portion of the cost of construction. In order to assess a property owner, it must be demonstrated that the value of their property will increase by at least the amount of the assessment. For this reason, it is a limited source of revenue. It is also limited by the almost certain requirement that property be adjacent to the roadway. It is difficult to show direct benefit to property that is not contiguous. Nevertheless, this is an important source of revenue for the City. Ad Valorem Taxes If 20 percent of the cost of a city project can be assessed to the adjacent property owners, the remaining cost of the project can be added to the ad valorem or property taxes of the remaining property owners in the City. Ad valorem taxes for street improvements are excluded from the state mandated levy limits. Tax Increment Financing Establishing a tax increment financing (TIF) district is a method of funding infrastructure improvements that are needed immediately using the additional tax revenue to be generated in future years by a specific development. Municipal bonds are issued against this future revenue which is dedicated for a period of years to the repayment of the bonds or to other improvements within the TIF project area. When used appropriately, a TI F can accelerate economic development in an area by insuring that the needed infrastructure is in place without 30 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 requiring support from the usual funding. This method of financing has already been used successfully in the City of Chanhassen and is expected to be used again in selected areas in the future. Potential Sources of Revenue Revenues available from current sources of funding are not always sufficient to meet highway maintenance and construction needs. In order to reduce the potential shortfall of revenue, other sources of funding need to be considered including TEA-21 grants, STP and state bonding. 31 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE 1998 APPENDICES 32 APPENDIX A FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION Part of the process of developing a thoroughfare plan is determining the function of the components of the system. Functional classification involves determining what role each roadway should perform. Functional classification ensures that non-transportation factors, such as land use and development, are taken into account in the planning and design of streets and highways. The Metropolitan Council has defined four classes ofroadways: l. Principal arterials . Interstate freeways . Other principal arterials 2. Minor arterials . "A" minor arterials Augmenter Connector Expander Reliever . "B" minor arterials 3. Collector streets 4. Local streets Principal arterials include all interstate freeways and those other roadways which provide for the longest trips. The emphasis is on mobility rather than land access. In a developing area, spacing will vary from three to four miles. The Metropolitan Council defines the metropolitan highway system as made up of the principal arterials in the regIOn. The minor arterial system serves medium to short trips and provides access to the principal arterials. They interconnect concentrations of commercial or industrial land uses and connect cities and towns of the region to each other and to similar places outside the region. The emphasis is still on mobility rather than land access. In fully developed areas, spacing ranges from 1/2 mile to one mile. In developing areas, one to two mile spacing is adequate. A-1 The Metropolitan Council has defined a subsystem of regional minor arterials designated "A" minor arterials. These are the more important minor arterials from a regional perspective. The region is committed to direct federal funding to the "A" minor arterials. Minor arterials that are not designated "A" minor arterials are considered "B" minor arterials and typically are locally controlled. Collector streets provide connection between neighborhoods and from neighborhoods to minor business concentrations. Mobility and land access are equally important. Collectors serve short trips and are spaced 1/2 to 1 mile apart in developing areas. Local streets are those that remain, serving the shortest trips and providing access to adjacent property. They are spaced as necessary. The Metropolitan Council's functional classification system designation has been adopted for use in the City's roadway system. PLANNING PRINCIPLES The assignment of roadways into categories by function is based upon the following sets of principles: Principal Arterials Principal and intermediate arterials are generally under the jurisdiction of state and regional agencies. Improvements such as interchange and lane additions require the approval of the Federal Highway Administration (FHW A), the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnlDOT), and the Metropolitan Council. Minor Arterial Streets 1. Arterial streets are major determinants of land-use patterns. That is to say, the locations of arterials will influence, to a great extent, what the land-use patterns will look like. 2. The spacing of arterials should reflect the density of development in the area. The spacing will vary from one-half mile between arterials to as much as two miles in very sparsely-populated areas. 3. Whenever possible, arterials should be laid out in a grid pattern. At the same time, however, the arterial pattern should be sensitive to prevailing environmental concerns and constraints to create parcels of land that are easily platted, and to create intersections where adjacent legs are at right angles to each other. A-2 4. Arterials should provide continuity, because the primary function of an arterial is to provide for the through movement of traffic. 5. Each link in the arterial system should be designed to perform its specific function within the total transportation system. In other words, the design should match the anticipated load. 6. Arterials should respect the integrity and stability of neighborhoods. 7. Arterials should be fully integrated with existing and planned mass transit systems. 8. Roadway widths are a function of traffic demand not classifications. A roadway is not built to four lanes because it is an arterial, but it is built to that width to accommodate the volume of traffic it is expected to carry (see Table A-I). The length of trips that are served is more a detem1ining factor for roadway classification. Class I Collector Streets 1. In general, class I collector streets should only provide access to abutting properties that are class I traffic generators (shopping centers, office parks, etc.). 2. Access to other abutting properties should be provided from local streets and class II collectors. 3. Class I collectors should serve trip lengths of three to five miles. 4. The intersections of class I collectors with arterials will likely be signalized. Class I collectors should not intersect minor arterials at less than one quarter mile spacing. Intersections of class I collectors with principal or intermediate arterials should generally be no less than at one half mile intervals. 5. The design of class I collectors should reflect the function of providing more mobility and less land access. 6. The design of class I collectors should provide for medium range speeds (40 mph) to attract traffic from local streets. 7. Intersections of class II collectors and local streets with class I collectors should be configured as "T" intersections to reduce the need for signals or all way stops. 8. The intersection of two class I collectors may be controlled by traffic signals or all way stops. A-3 Class II Collector Streets The following are principles for laying out subdivision streets, including class II collectors. In this case, the primary function of such streets will be to provide access. A secondary function may include through movement of intra-community travel. 1. Class II collectors must provide adequate access to abutting parcels. 2. Class II collectors should be designed to minimize through traffic. The layout of class II collectors should not promote diversion of traffic from arterials and class I collectors. 3. The intersections of class II collectors with arterials should not detract from the efficiency of those arterials. In order to prevent inefficiencies, it is recommended that the spacing between collectors be at least one-qualier mile and in multiples of one quarter mile. This will permit a minimum 30 mph operation on the arterial should signalization be required. 4. The design of class II collectors should reflect the function of providing access. 5. The design of class II collectors should discourage excessive speeds. 6. Class II collectors should permit the efficient use of land for laying out plats. 7. Class II collectors should be laid out in order to be compatible with the topography and environmental constraints of the area. 8. The design of the class II collector system should be compatible with the municipal utility plans for the area. 9. Class II collector streets should not be used for on-site circulation purposes.

E- APPENDIX B TRAVEL FORECASTING PROCESS FORECASTING PROCESS Figure B-1 illustrates the analysis process used to identify deficiencies in the adopted Thoroughfare Guide Plan given the level of development anticipated by 2020. The major steps in the process are described below: 1. Trip Generation Analysis For ease of analysis, a window containing the City of Chanhassen and surrounding areas was cut from the regional network. The regional traffic analysis zones (T AZs) \vere refined by dividing them into smaller zones as shown in Figure B-2. Trips generated by each TA2 are a function both of the type and density of land use in each zone and of the trip generation rates for each type of land use. The regional trip generation model was used to calculate the trips originating in and destined to each refined zone by trip purpose. 2. Trip Distribution Analysis Once the trips were calculated for each year, the appropriate vehicle trip tables were developed. This process assumes the overall distribution of trips between each pair of zones from the regional model but adjusts th~ number of trips originating from and destined to each zone based upon the trip generation results. 3. Trip Assignment Analysis In this step, the zone to zone vehicle trips were assigned to the eXlstmg and future transportation networks using a capacity restrained loading process. The resulting traffic volumes on the roadway system are then compared to the capacity of the roadway network to assess the impacts. The traffic model used to develop the traffic forecasts is a microcomputer program called TRANPLAN. The capacity restrained loading process results in multiple paths being used for trips between each zonal pair. The assigmnent process adjusts travel speeds on each link in the network based upon the volume to capacity ratio. The result is an assigmnent which minimizes the overall travel time for the entire set of trips and paths in the network. B-1 r " FV7URE TRIP DEVELOPMENT G~NEr.ATION ASSUMFTlONS MOGEL I I I .,.

A trip table is used to define the origin and destination of each trip based on regional as well as local travel. Generally speaking, the number of trips that begin or end at a particular location depends upon the number of households and employees that are located in the surrounding area or zone. The base network and trip table used in this study represent the year 2020 and were obtained from the Metropolitan Council and Mn/DOT who have the responsibility for maintaining this information for the entire region. In order to make this information more meaningful to Chanhassen, the following refinements were made: . The regional network was modified to include all of the arterials and many collector streets in Chanhassen. . The system of zones was refined to create a more detailed system in the City. This increased the number of zones, as defined in the regional network, to create more realistic loading of traffic onto the detailed network. . - The 1995 trips were assigned to the existing network to calibrate to the existing traffic counts. Then the future network was developed from the calibrated network and the 2020 trips were assigned. The result is an estimate of volumes forecast for the future network in 2020. . The trip table was modified to distribute the trips from the original zones to the refined zones. The Metropolitan Council socioeconomic data was used for each regional zone but the trips were distributed to the refined zones based upon local socioeconomic data. FUTURE TRAFFIC VOLUMES By running the TRANPLAN program with the updated trip table and revised network, an estimate of the future traffic flow on individual roadways was made.
