VISITOR PRESENTATIONS.
Mayor Laufenburger: Visitor presentations are included with each of our regularly scheduled
council meetings. Anyone wishing to address the council on a matter that is not specifically on
the agenda this evening you may please step to the podium with your name and address and give
your name and address for the record and address the council.
Frank Ernst: My name is Frank Ernst. E-r-n-s-t. My address is 840 Cree Drive.
Mayor Laufenburger: Good evening. Nice to have you with us.
Frank Ernst: A little over a year ago I and many others filled this room and we addressed
concerns with the project that was seeking an approval that’s being built right now down the
street. We asked for some delays. We asked for additional citizen input and I don’t think our
questions or concerns were even considered. You listened but I don’t think you considered our
concerns. During the meeting one of the things we were told is we just can’t accept change and
that was why we were here but that isn’t why. During the meeting my wife was singled out,
called out by name and shouted at. Following the meeting my wife was inundated with emails
with disparagingly remarks, remarks to her and to I. And to I. It was followed with additional
demeaning comments about her and I and other Chanhassen residents so I came back to another
meeting and I expressed my concerns about that. What I considered inappropriate behavior that
had taken place. I saw no action taken at that time. I’ve seen no action taken since. I asked you
to establish and publish a code of conduct, standards of behavior that should be established
similar to the rules that are posted for visitor presentation. My request has been ignored to the
best of my knowledge. I and many others have come to believe the position you take is to listen,
ignore and wait for them to go away. Well I’m here tonight to renew my request to let you know
that we won’t go away. We’re here and I would like again to request that you establish a code of
conduct for this body. Just considering tonight one of the things I recommend you put on top of
it is perhaps adhering to your schedule and starting on time. I want to remind this council and
future councils that we will not go away so please pay attention and give serious considerations
to the concerns and requests of the citizens of Chanhassen. Thank you.
Chanhassen City Council – November 13, 2018

Mayor Laufenburger: Thank you Mr. Ernst. Is there anybody else who would like to address the
council at this time? Alright there being none I’ll close visitor presentations. Move to our next
item on our agenda.
ACCEPT DOWNTOWN VISION.
Mayor Laufenburger: This is item old business. The subject is the accepting the downtown
vision study. Is this your’s Ms. Aanenson?
Kate Aanenson: Yes, thank you. This was discussed at your work session and we recommended
that we make a couple changes so I’ve identified what those changes are. I included the Minutes
from that work session and there was some, I think one of the things that was the main
importance arranging the priorities so that we gave more emphasis to that. There’s also just
some wordsmithing that was changed and then also some discussion on the specific uses in the
retail sector which would have been the grocery store being as far as the targeting. And I just
want to reiterate that this is a vision document. It’s not a zoning ordinance. It’s not, it’s not a
land use amendment but it’s a vision so when the staff would, so a developer’s interested in
doing something in the property it gives them some guidance of where the council is thinking
about. Also included in that you wanted the staff to include with that the market scan which had
a lot of good information of what the different threshold of uses are in there and what the scan
also showed what could be supported in there too and I did want to point out that this happened
before the project went forward in the downtown so it did show there was some capacity for
additional grocer and that capacity did come through with a project that’s under construction
now. So those changes were made. Again what staff is recommending that you accept this
document and this becomes the vision document as we move forward. And again I tried to make
some of those changes. Some of those street connections. Safety, you know prioritizing that. I
think that was one of the things that we talked about too as we moved forward on other projects
in the downtown that we go back and look at this and make sure we can combine some of these
action steps with specific projects that we’d take that into consideration too and even under some
of those key financial strategies as we move into next year too so with that changes were made
and just looking for some direction adopting or accepting this document.
Mayor Laufenburger: Alright thank you Ms. Aanenson. Obviously this document and the
process that was used to bring it to this point was included many different inputs and many
different discussions. Council any questions of Ms. Aanenson regarding the, this final state of
the downtown vision study?
Councilman McDonald: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor Laufenburger: Mr. McDonald.
Councilman McDonald: I have a question.
Chanhassen City Council – November 13, 2018
4
Mayor Laufenburger: Sure.
Councilman McDonald: As I was trying to read through this, the copy that we got, the electronic
copy it was kind of difficult to read because of the size of it and it kept flipping on me but I did
read through the Minutes. Can you explain, okay was the term grocery stores removed from the
vision study?
Kate Aanenson: Yes. Yeah.
Councilman McDonald: But aren’t grocery stores allowed according to ordinance?
Kate Aanenson: Yes. I guess the intent of this again is too when you’re talking to developers
what are we targeting you know and that was the intent as I understood it and what the desire
targeting was. Yes it is still permitted in the zoning district.
Councilman McDonald: Then I guess the problem I have with this is what are we creating an
ambiguity within city documents. If the ordinance says grocery stores should be in there then
why isn’t it in the vision study?
Kate Aanenson: I believe there was a request to take it out.
Councilman McDonald: And I guess at that meeting I was unaware we took a vote to remove it
from the vision study. I know the question was raised about why it was in there and I thought
the direction was to go to staff to evaluate that and get back to us as to why it should or should
not be in there. Not that it comes before us today for a vote to approve it.
Mayor Laufenburger: Well Mr. McDonald if I may take just a moment. Kate you made it pretty
clear that this is a, this is a, this is a result of a study that was contracted and that study reported
their observations which included observations from the community and I recall the meeting as
well Mr. McDonald and I think that it’s clear that while the zoning ordinances allow grocery as a
usage and the study indicates that there is leakage from our downtown area from grocery, I think
it’s reasonable to accept that we would like to present to potential developers that there is a, or
there is a view that we don’t need more grocery stores in the downtown area. However if
somebody comes forward with a plan that includes a specialty grocery store which seems to be
the area where there is the most leakage, then the council would consider that but I would agree
with you. If a zoning ordinance allows a grocery store then a developer should reasonably
consider that the grocery store plan would be considered though that may not be the desired or
the absolutely best desire for a downtown area so Mr. McDonald I’m comfortable that as a
planning document this document reflects that there is a view that we’re not out seeking more
grocery stores for the downtown area.
Chanhassen City Council – November 13, 2018

Councilman McDonald: Well I guess I would say I don’t think this document does that anyway.
I think all this is is a vision study of what could or could not take place within the downtown area
and what would be acceptable and the problem I have with this is that I believe that we have, we
have created an ambiguity between what the ordinances are and what this vision study is. If we
don’t want grocery stores in the downtown area then we need to change the ordinance. I can’t
support this document because of that ambiguity and I believe that the word grocery story should
be in there because it is a permitted use.
Councilman Campion: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor Laufenburger: Mr. Campion, go ahead.
Councilman Campion: So I recall raising the question at the last meeting when we looked at this
and the request was more to see the data that was suggesting that we were leaking grocery
revenue from the city to adjacent communities and so that was the request. I don’t, there is no
data that was.
Mayor Laufenburger: Oh that’s not true Mr. Campion. There is data.
Councilman Campion: The leakage data?
Mayor Laufenburger: Yeah. The market study. If you look at the market study document it
shows where, where there’s leakage.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah. That was…and I’ll just go back saying when this market scan was done
it was prior to the approval of the other so it, so part of that market was absorbed. So part of that
leakage has been absorbed by a new user coming in. So that was my point in saying that.
Councilman Campion: Right there’s current leakage.
Mayor Laufenburger: Yeah if you look at.
Kate Aanenson: There’s, no but there’s some of that leakage was, the market scan was done
prior to the approval of the Venue/Aldi project so.
Mayor Laufenburger: Now specifically if you look at page 11 of the market study Mr. Campion
you’ll see that food and beverage stores, which include grocery, it shows that the leakage from
specialty food stores. What would be a specialty food store?
Kate Aanenson: Any small.
Todd Gerhardt: Trader Joe’s.
Chanhassen City Council – November 13, 2018
6
Kate Aanenson: Trader Joe’s, sure.
Todd Gerhardt: Whole Foods.
Mayor Laufenburger: Lakewinds?
Kate Aanenson: Sure.
Todd Gerhardt: Lakewinds.
Mayor Laufenburger: Alright. So it shows that the leakage is a factor of 63.8 out of 100. It’s
actually one of the highest leakages that we’re seeing. The only thing that’s higher is specialty
food services under food services and drinking places. Specialty food services. Would that
include like brewery? Brew pub?
Kate Aanenson: Yes.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, so the leakage is present but I am okay recognizing that this is a
planning document and if a planning document is placed and a zoning ordinance is in place
which has the higher authority Mr. Aanenson?
Kate Aanenson: The zoning.
Mayor Laufenburger: The zoning right.
Kate Aanenson: Yes.
Mayor Laufenburger: And yes it’s true if this council or any council wants to exclude a usage in
the downtown area the way you exclude that is through a zoning ordinance. Not through a
planning document.
Kate Aanenson: That’s correct.
Councilman McDonald: And my point is that the two documents should match up together and
support one another and I think this sends the wrong message that again what we’re saying that
we’ve never said before is that a particular type of business. We have decided there’s too many
of them in town and that is not a message that we have ever sent before for any industry. Banks.
Liquor stores. Grocery stores. Anything. We’ve always let the market decide that and I think
this sets a bad precedence at this point to start excluding types of businesses even if it is a
planning document.
Mayor Laufenburger: Mr. Campion I interrupted you but I wanted to clarify that the leakage
was, the data was provided.
Chanhassen City Council – November 13, 2018
7
Councilman Campion: Yeah, and I acknowledge that. Sorry. I missed that and I think the point
of contention was that when, in the prior version that we reviewed on October 8th it listed just
general grocery as the leakage item. That we were leaking to adjacent communities and not
specialty grocery in particular.
Mayor Laufenburger: Well according to the ESRI research they categorize it as food and
beverage and grocery is in that category so I don’t think it was a, I don’t think it was an intent to
exclude any particular grocery but you know it shows that there is leakage.
Kate Aanenson: It was a broader category correct.
Councilman Campion: Right.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah so.
Councilman Campion: Okay.
Mayor Laufenburger: Your point is well made Mr. McDonald. Any other comments or
questions? Any comments or actions?
Kate Aanenson: Again the staff is just looking for the City Council to recommend that they
accept this document as a working document for the downtown.
Mayor Laufenburger: Right. And just, as a matter of record for those people that may not be
familiar with this, in this vision study there are some elements that emerged as potentially for
consideration and a number of which were, which were identified and could potentially be taken
up by this council or future councils. So I’m looking for anything that the council would like to
do at this time?
Kate Aanenson: There’s a motion on that first page I think it was.
Mayor Laufenburger: Right.
Councilwoman Ryan: I’d like to make a motion please.
Mayor Laufenburger: Alright.
Councilwoman Ryan: I’d like to make a motion that the City Council accepts the Downtown
Vision.
Mayor Laufenburger: Alright, we have a motion. Is there a second?
Chanhassen City Council – November 13, 2018
8
Councilman Campion: Second.
Mayor Laufenburger: Alright. Is there any further discussion on the motion? Alright there
being none, the motion is to accept the Downtown Vision study. All those in favor of the motion
signify by saying, actually by raising your right hand if you would please. Raise your right hand
if you accept the motion. One, two. All those against signify by raising your hand.
Councilwoman Ryan moved, Councilman Campion seconded that the City Council accepts
the Downtown Vision. All voted in favor, except Councilman McDonald who opposed, and
the motion carried with a vote of 3 to 1.
Mayor Laufenburger: That motion carries 3-1. Next item on our agenda, oh please express to
Bryan and the folks at Hoisington-Koegler our appreciation for their work and their due
diligence in this and this document will serve as a planning and assist in planning city staff and
this council and future councils. Thank you very much Ms. Aanenson.
APPROVE STIPULATION FOR SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT FOR ACQUISITION
OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 730 VOGELSBERG TRAIL IN CONJUNCTION WITH
THE TH 101 IMPROVEMENTS, CITY PROJECT NO. 14-08.
Mayor Laufenburger: Is this your’s Kate or is this your’s Mr. Oehme?
Paul Oehme: It’s mine.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay.
Paul Oehme: Thank you Mayor, City Council members. I would just like to take this
opportunity to just go through the project a little bit while we’re just kicking off the start of the
final design for this project so I’d like to just highlight a couple things, you know give a little
background and tell where we think we’re headed on this project. So the background, the City
has, and City Council has rated 101 as one of their top transportation priorities over the years.
The last section of 101 that needs improvement south of Highway 5 is this section from Pioneer
Trail down to Flying Cloud Drive. We’ve identified numerous safety issues along the corridor.
One of the things we want to do is improve the connectivity of our transportation infrastructure
to Scott County as well. As you know the river bridge was constructed several years ago. We
want to continue that same sort of corridor through this area. And then we also want to plan for
growth in this area too. We’ve heard from a number of property owners in this area that they
would like to have, sell their property potentially for redevelopment and development so in
connection with this project we’d like to extend sewer and water to this area for urban services.
So to date what we’ve completed are numerous things so back in 2015 we completed a
preliminary design. We looked at several, I think 4 or 5 different layouts. We had did land on a
preferred layout that the council at that time wanted us to pursue. We did finish our
environmental documentation for this area. Looking at the impacts to the wetlands and other
Chanhassen City Council – November 13, 2018
9
environmental impacts in this area so that has been completed. The City Council has adopted the
official map for this area as well so that has been completed and just recently the City had
successfully lobbied the State of Minnesota for LRP funds. Those are state bonding funds in the
amount of $9 million dollars so we did have some, we do have some money from the State for
that project. In conjunction with that money MnDOT, Minnesota Department of Transportation
has allocated a number of other funding sources to the future improvements of this corridor as
well so now that we have a funding package together the funding agreement has been approved
between the City and the County and the County and MnDOT for the final improvements and the
turnback agreement from MnDOT. Operations and maintenance to Carver County in the future.
And then we also have approved a consultant contract for this project so we are currently under
final design work. Working on that at this time and we’ve delineated the wetlands for this, along
the corridor as well just for improvements so we’re working on surveying and we’re taking soil
borings as well to finish up the background information that we need to complete the final
design. So this is a layout of the new alignment that we’re looking at. More or less follows the
same alignment as 101 but we’re trying to straighten it out and smooth out the curves and
improve the sight lines and the grade going up the bluff. Trying to flatten that out as much as we
can so Pioneer Trail is to the north and Flying Cloud Drive is to the south here. This is the
roundabout to the south so major project which unfortunately, which does require a lot of right-
of-way needed to facilitate these improvements so there’s approximately about 26 parcels that
the City will have to work on to acquire strip right-of-way along the corridor. A portion of some
property along the corridor or in some instances total acquisition of parcels as well and that’s the
Stipulation before you tonight so approximately 6 parcels that would have to be totally acquired
and then there’s about another 20 parcels that would have to be some sort of smaller portion of
that parcel would have to be acquired through this project. And again the funding mechanism is
through the State of Minnesota in their turnback account and some other funding but if, as we
move forward with this project the final design is, like I said is taking place at this time. We’re
looking at you know it’s going to be about almost a year’s worth of final design. There’s a lot of
meetings and a lot of design work that has to go into this to make this project move forward.
We’re anticipating about a year’s worth of time to acquire all the right-of-way necessary for this
project as well so we’re working with property owners right now on additional acquisitions and
Carver County is leading the effort in some of those total acquisitions. Total parcel acquisitions
so, and the City’s going to be doing the majority of the rest of the acquisitions along the corridor.
So basically it’s going to be a year’s worth of design work and right-of-way acquisitions. We are
scheduled to have a neighborhood meeting in December. First week in December. Notices for
that meeting are going to be going out I think tomorrow or Wednesday and then if the project
were to move forward we’re anticipating start of construction in 2020 and it’s about a 2 years
project time to construct this. This section of road so it’s only about a mile. 1.1 miles worth of
road but there is a lot of dirt that has to be moved. A lot of infrastructure that has to be put in
and it’s a very complicated endeavor to build this section of roadway so with that I do have a
motion before you. If you have any questions regarding the Stipulation or the project in general
I’m here to answer any of those questions. We will have a number of City Council meetings.
Work session meetings that are scheduled along the way too after we have our neighborhood
meeting. The first neighborhood meeting. We’ll bring that information back to the council and
Chanhassen City Council – November 13, 2018
10
get some feedback and then move on from there but there are a lot of stepping stones and check
in’s with the council that we’re planning to have along the way throughout the process so just
wanted to make you aware of that.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, thank you Mr. Oehme. Any questions or comments from council
of Mr. Oehme? Councilmember Ryan go ahead.
Councilwoman Ryan: Thank you. Mr. Oehme who are the, when you talk about the
negotiations, is it just the Carver County agents or is the City involved with the negotiations as
well?
Paul Oehme: Yep, so for the total parcels that have to be acquired, those total lots, Carver
County’s right-of-way agent has been responsible for those negotiations at this time. We’ve
actually been working, that person specifically has been working with some of those properties
since 2015. Since the final, the preliminary design was and the environmental study was
completed and talking about you know funding and we actually along the way we talked to Met
Council about some money to acquire some of those properties earlier since we didn’t have the
MnDOT money or the bonding money at this time so we’ve had some communications with
those folks but yeah again the Carver County will be handling 6 of the parcels and the City will
be handling the rest of the parcel acquisitions so.
Councilwoman Ryan: And when you say handling you mean negotiating or?
Paul Oehme: Yep negotiating. Yep exactly so with the consultant contract we did hire a right-
of-way agent to assist us in that as well too so that person will work in conjunction with the City
with those negotiations as well so it won’t just be the city staff but it will also be a consultant.
Specifically person that’s all that person will do is the right-of-way acquisition of those type of
negotiations.
Councilwoman Ryan: And then in terms of the actual agreement, as I know it’s part of the
negotiation how you arrive at the number because I know it’s, and I know that it’s in the
agreements. Some of the additional pieces that are covered but based on what they’re receiving
and you know what their taxable market value is is considerably different so could you talk a
little bit more about the negotiations.
Paul Oehme: Right. Yep absolutely so yep. There is the appraised value. So market value is
one thing. It’s the appraised value is another thing so we’ve had an appraisal done. I think the
property owner did have an appraisal as well so that’s one cost. There’s also moving expenses
that are involved and then some other settlement costs and closing costs there also associated
with the acquisition as well so that’s all included in there. I don’t know if it’s really listed.
Councilwoman Ryan: And does that become public information what the actual, what the
appraisal is and.
Chanhassen City Council – November 13, 2018
11
Andrea Poehler: It will be.
Councilwoman Ryan: It will be once the title work is reviewed and everything.
Andrea Poehler: Once the closing has occurred yes.
Paul Oehme: And we have worked with Carver County’s right-of-way agent. We also passed
along you know the settlement agreements to MnDOT as well and their right-of-way folks as
well. Both of those agencies signed off on the sale.
Councilwoman Ryan: Okay.
Todd Gerhardt: Mayor and council some additional costs that are included in this is change of
address. Changing your driver’s license. Renewing checks. Notifying mortgage companies.
Utilities. That you’re changing your address and sometimes there’s fees associated with that.
There’s relocation specialists out there that the residential people can use. Their fees are also a
part of that. Sometimes attorney fees can be included in the cost depending on dealing with the
acquisition of the property.
Councilwoman Ryan: And is this pretty typical this process? Like when we did the acquisition
of Bandimere, the home there, I mean are they similar? Just I get concerned when you look at
the taxable, I know that appraisal’s probably different but in setting the precedent for basically
double what the market value is to what they’re receiving for their land.
Todd Gerhardt: Depending on the appraisal it can do that.
Councilwoman Ryan: And they do an appraisal and the County does an appraisal and then
negotiate.
Todd Gerhardt: Well it becomes a negotiation and if the two sides do not come to terms then
you can go to condemnation and then they have a board, commissioners board that would hear
testimony from both sides and then a decision would be made based on that board’s
recommendation and then if one of the sides is not happy you can appeal your decision and
typically there’s attorney’s costs associated with that and special appraisals done and so your
costs go up dramatically when you go into condemnation so, so that’s part of the negotiations
that you take into a part. They have expenses but you have expenses but part of their expenses
are reimbursable as a part of the condemnation so there’s no simple negotiation when it comes to
taking when the government’s involved.
Councilwoman Ryan: Right. But just you know obviously this is the first of the other properties
and so this is something that the County and City’s comfortable with knowing that there’s other
properties, you know the 5 other properties to follow.
Chanhassen City Council – November 13, 2018
12
Todd Gerhardt: Yeah this is the second property.
Councilwoman Ryan: I mean yeah, I’m sorry…that’s right.
Todd Gerhardt: Yeah and this price came in fairly similar to, I forget her name.
Paul Oehme: Andrea.
Todd Gerhardt: Andrea. And I think it was 650 on that one. 600.
Paul Oehme: Yep it was a little over 600.
Todd Gerhardt: Little over 600 so, so we’re in the same ballpark and that home wasn’t in the
same condition as this home.
Councilwoman Ryan: Perfect, thank you.
Mayor Laufenburger: Anything else?
Councilwoman Ryan: No, thank you.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, anyone else with a question for Mr. Oehme? Okay. I know that
it’s not called for but is the property owner with us this evening? Okay, alright. So I’m looking
for recommended action from the council on this stipulation or the settlement agreement.
Councilman McDonald: Mr. Mayor I’ll make a motion that the City Council approves the
Settlement Agreement for acquisition of property located at 730 Vogelsberg Trail in conjunction
with the Trunk Highway 101 improvements, contingent on satisfactory title review by the City
Attorney and receipt of MnDOT funds for City Project No. 14-08.
Mayor Laufenburger: Alright we have a motion. Is there a second?
Councilwoman Ryan: Second.
Mayor Laufenburger: Thank you Councilmember Ryan. Mr. Oehme I just have one question
that I want to ask. This, can we assume that the Highway 101 project will heretofore be known
as 14-08, is that correct?
Paul Oehme: That will be the City project number.
Mayor Laufenburger: Until it’s completed and then it will be called 101.
Chanhassen City Council – November 13, 2018
13
Paul Oehme: Well yeah, so it’s our City.
Mayor Laufenburger: That’s our code.
Paul Oehme: That’s our code.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay so anything related will be 14-08.
Paul Oehme: Yep, correct.
Mayor Laufenburger: Is there any further discussion on this motion?
Councilman McDonald moved, Councilwoman Ryan seconded that the City Council
approves the Settlement Agreement for acquisition of property located at 730 Vogelsberg
Trail in conjunction with the Trunk Highway 101 improvements, contingent on
satisfactory title review by the City Attorney and receipt of MnDOT funds for City Project
No. 14-08. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0.
Mayor Laufenburger: That motion carries 4-0. Thank you Mr. Oehme.
Paul Oehme: Thank you.
Mayor Laufenburger: That concludes our business portion of this evening.
COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS.
Mayor Laufenburger: Let me now move to council presentations and let me just begin by saying
that earlier this evening the City Council met as a canvasing board as we do following every
election and the canvasing board certified the results of the election concluded on November 6th
and I want to congratulate Elise Ryan who will be the Mayor taking her oath of office in January
of 2012. Also want to congratulate Dan Campion for his re-election to City Council and also
congratulations to Julia Coleman who will begin her council assignment in January so
congratulations to all three of them on their election. Are there any other council presentations?
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS.
Mayor Laufenburger: Any administrative presentations Mr. Gerhardt?
Todd Gerhardt: I have one. I have to give a huge shout out to Kim Meuwissen, our Office
Manager in running a flawless election process behind the scenes. I’m so proud of Kim and her
team. They did a fantastic job. Being one of the largest cities in Carver County I think we were
one of the first cities to get the results in from our election and having, I think it was 85, 83
percent turnout rate which is unbelievable in a non-Presidential election so hats off to Kim and
Chanhassen City Council – November 13, 2018
14
all our election judges who did a fantastic job of running a very smooth election process and it is
a very, very complicated process. There’s a lot of rules to follow and Kim, the detailed person
she is and organizer she is, we’re very fortunate to have her as a part of our team and her election
judges follow her lead so thank you Kim Meuwissen. I know she’s watching and she just has
done a great job.
Mayor Laufenburger: Thank you Kim. Anything else?
Todd Gerhardt: That’s all I have, thank you.
Mayor Laufenburger: Alright. I would like to echo that too. I know that Kim spends a lot of
time searching for and securing election judges and that can sometimes be a thankless job so
anybody who served as an election judge I just want to echo our appreciation for that. Any other
council presentations? Just one other comment if I may. Earlier this evening in the work session
the City Council directed staff to prepare for a, prepare for a public hearing on November 26th
and that public hearing will be to hear and review the City Council’s recommendation for
funding our pavement management program and though it’s not required we, the council
specifically is asking for a public hearing related to the implementation of franchise fees to fund
the pavement management program for Chanhassen so if you’re watching and you have an
interest in participating in that process I would encourage you to be here at the council meeting
two weeks from tonight. That’s November, excuse me. Two weeks from last night, Monday,
November 26th at 7:00 p.m. where we will, included in the business will be the discussion and
public hearing regarding franchise fees so with that any comment on the correspondence?
CORRESPONDENCE DISCUSSION. None.
Councilman McDonald moved, Councilman Campion seconded to adjourn the meeting.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Ruegemer: Chair Scharfenberg just like to, I guess make sure everybody is aware the Halloween
Party is this coming Saturday night, October 27th at the Chan Rec Center. 5:30 to 7:30 so it will
be a fun evening again. Our 34th Annual so we are still looking for any volunteers if the
commission would like to help pass out candy or help with registration or help out in any way,
we’d be more than happy to find a job for you. We have about 27-28 volunteers right now so
we’re in pretty good shape but would like to just extend the invitation out to everybody. If you’d
like to attend we’d be very happy to place you so you can let me know at some point in time if
you’re interested. Tonight or shoot me an email that would be great.
Scharfenberg: Great, thank you Jerry.
Hoffman: One more Chair Scharfenberg. If you noticed last week I believe it was the
Chanhassen Villager ran an article on memorial benches and so I contacted the editor of the
Chanhassen Villager after all and they profiled the City of Eden Prairie’s memorial bench
program. The City of Wayzata and the Landscape Arboretum. I think they took an article from
the Eden Prairie News and transferred to our news without modifying it so Mr. Olson, the editor
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – October 23, 2018
2
is going to offer some information this week’s Villager. You can have a memorial tree and
bench program which is popular with folks who typically lose a loved one in our community and
want to make a memorial in their honor. Some purchase both a bench and a tree so they just do
one or the other in their particular preference but this is a program that is in place since 1995
when the first bench went in for Mark Litfin Senior who was a member of our Senior
Commission so it’s available for those and please spread the word out.
Scharfenberg: I did see that Todd so thanks for following up on that because I was certainly I
was thinking what about Chanhassen. We have a policy.
Hoffman: It was a missed opportunity.
Scharfenberg: Yeah.
Hoffman: So they’ll run something this week and look for that.
VISITOR PRESENTATION. None.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
Scharfenberg: Alright next on the agenda is approval of the Minutes for the September 25, 2018
meeting. Anybody have any changes or modifications to the Minutes? If not can I get a motion?
Echternacht moved, Boettcher seconded to approve the verbatim and summary Minutes of
the Park and Recreation Commission meeting dated September 25, 2018 as presented. All
voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 8 to 0.
2018 PICNIC SEASON EVALUATION.
Scharfenberg: Jerry.
Ruegemer: Thank you Chair Scharfenberg. Just wanted to go through the 2018 picnic season
evaluation. We had another good season again with 122 paid reservations this year and that
compares to 125 from last year so we’re kind of right in the ballpark of where we were in the
past. Both Lake Ann and Lake Susan really host a variety of different events from graduation
parties to baptisms, school groups, company picnics. Just a wide variety of events out there so
the most popular again this year was the Klingelhutz Pavilion with that. Lake Ann was right in
there as well. The Lakeside and Lake Susan was in third place or tied for third place, or second
place I guess so generated just over $16,400 in revenue this year for all the paid reservations and
we hosted just about 11,000 picnickers at those paid events with that so there are other, certainly
other groups that utilized the picnic areas and picnic sites that don’t make a reservation. Just
kind of first come, first serve on the weekends so there’s not a ton of time on the weekends but
when there is open time people just go out there and kind of hang out. Maybe over the lunch
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – October 23, 2018
3
hour and/or other areas that it might be open so we certainly encourage that as well. They are
public spaces and people are more than welcomed to use those without making a reservation as
well but just attached is a lot of the numbers. We certainly try to go through and look at kind of
the different categories and how they kind of relate to what days of the week. What type of
groups are using the picnic sites so we can kind of look at that and it’s obviously we’re pretty
heavy on the weekends with the available times that we can reserve those spots at Lake Ann and
Lake Susan. There certainly are some tournaments and other type of adult leagues that play at
some of the locations or community park sites that we don’t schedule picnics during certain
times just to make sure that we have enough parking, available parking for tournaments and
customers for other types of events that may be going on in the park so you know Lake Ann, I
wish we had additional weekends for Lake Ann, certainly in June with grad parties. They’re
already calling already for 2019 to get on the books so Lake Ann, Lake Susan are very popular
locations. We really always hear really good things and feedback from our customers and
community members that use those facilities so again that picnic category is where attached for
that, the number of picnic reservations. Picnic attendants and picnic revenue kind of throughout
the course of time here kind of gives you a little bit of a snapshot looking back a number of years
as to kind of where we are. Where we track for that so all in all it was another good year and
we’re pretty happy with where we are and certainly going to look to fill maybe some of those
weekday spots a little bit more. Use some type of an incentive program but we’ll be bringing the
fee structures and everything back here at an upcoming Park and Rec Commission meeting here
coming up in the next month or two.
Scharfenberg: Any questions for Jerry?
Echternacht: Jerry when did we start not scheduling…?
Ruegemer: Yeah it’s probably been, for the CAA tournaments? And that sort of thing, that has
probably been at least probably 3 or 4 years now so obviously that takes out some pretty
desirable times for that. Particularly in June and July when the picnic sites are at you know kind
of a premium request time but it really was, it really is for the best. Really just because the
tournaments that CAA is you know kind of sponsoring out there are probably anywhere from 20
to 40, 45 teams so all available parking really should be dedicated to that. You know we don’t
do anything with the beachlots so there is other general uses in the park as well during that time
but we’re just making a choice not to do the picnic sites.
Echternacht: I agree with you I just…because the attendance is down but.
Ruegemer: Yep and that equals out to about 22 time slots of picnics that we’re not doing.
Boettcher: So Jerry that’s for every day of the week or just Saturday and Sunday?
Ruegemer: It’s sometimes Fridays as well. Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – October 23, 2018

Boettcher: So maybe 3 days a week.
Ruegemer: Yep.
Boettcher: Okay.
Scharfenberg: Jerry we’re still using computer registration system right for people to come and
sign up for that?
Ruegemer: We are using a computerized registration for the permits yes.
Scharfenberg: And how does that, any issues with that in terms of people using the system?
Ruegemer: No because we’re still doing the reservations for the most part in-house.
Scharfenberg: Okay.
Ruegemer: Jodi and I are kind of working through, there was a new facilities, if I can talk about
it as well but we have a new facility module that just is coming online here like October-
November.
Scharfenberg: Okay.
Ruegemer: So we’re going through kind of training on that. Our hope is with that is to make
that interface that with the public easier than our old system with that so Jodi and I sat down
actually last week to kind of go through you know some of that permitting processes to see how
that can relate to kind of going on the web for people to view.
Scharfenberg: Okay.
Ruegemer: Our old system was very clunky as far as on the kind of the public view side of it.
You had to do a lot of steps just to see what was available and so kind of staff was kind of
waiting until the new version came out to see how we can kind of implement that into our system
and kind of go wide with that.
Scharfenberg: Okay. So can you get back to us say in the next couple of months and just give us
an update on that?
Ruegemer: Yeah. That, if we had that implemented it probably won’t go, well yes. We’ll report
back on that.
Scharfenberg: Okay. Any other questions for Jerry relative to picnic reservations? Thank you
Jerry.

CHANHASSEN RECREATION CENTER OUTDOOR COURT IMPROVEMENTS.
Scharfenberg: I assume that that’s Jodi.
Sarles: Jerry and I are tag teaming this together so. He’s got the magic.
Ruegemer: There we go.
Sarles: Ah there we go. So we started chatting I believe was it August kind of about the
situation on the courts out at the Rec Center and recommendations for 2019 for the
improvements.
Ruegemer: With that so they thanks and part of that conversation was while kind of going
through the CIP conversation, the 2019-2023 the commission had kind of asked that question of
staff. You know what’s the possibility of potentially looking at those Rec Center courts for a
pickleball, basically all pickleball. Eliminating the tennis so that’s what we’re going to do
tonight and kind of look through that. I think everybody has the, obviously the report on that.
We’re going to go through the power point for that and kind of go through that and feel free to
ask any questions as we go through that process here so. So just to start out. As looking at the
2019-2023 CIP we have in 2019 $150,000 allocated at this time for court refurbishment currently
at Lake Susan, Meadow Green, North Lotus, South Lotus and the courts at the Chanhassen
Recreation Center. So as of right now it looked like we had, we did a crack seal and petro mat at
the Meadow Green courts and North Lotus in 2012 so right now those courts are actually in
pretty good shape so for the discussion purposes tonight we’re going to take those out of the
equation and then we’re going to focus on 3 courts at Lake Susan, South Lotus and the Chan Rec
Center. So just to give you a little history on the, this is related now to the tennis courts at the
Recreation Center so the original 4 courts were built in 1995 when the Rec Center opened up for
our community’s use for that. They were resurfaced, the north courts were resurfaced and crack
sealed in 2007 and then we’ll take a look at those coming up here, kind of the current state of
those as well. And then the south courts were reconstructed for pickleball in 2012 for that.
Sarles: So out there we’ve been kind of keeping an eye with, we’re going through what
programs we offer for tennis and these are just current tennis with the City of Chanhassen
programs so we do Rec Center Sports After School Tennis. And in the summer there’s Sky
Hawks Tennis Camp so there’s the ages 7 to 12 and then Little Hawks Tennis ages 4 to 7 that
uses the courts pretty frequently throughout the summer. And then we’ll go to the next one here.
And then as we’ve kind of been looking at the court situation you know I’ve always known
people are using them but pay a little bit more attention when we’re going to talk about them like
this. We’ve got a group of men that come and play lunch hour tennis. All summer we’ve had
private tennis lessons and camps being held out there. We’ve got, actually there’s a picture of
them, a group of youth from I believe it’s the high school that comes over twice a week to play
tennis. Then from there it’s families and then adults, singles and doubles that comes out.
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – October 23, 2018

Scharfenberg: Jodi just going back to the youth camps. Are those fairly well attended in terms
of number of students that participate in those programs?
Sarles: They are. Yeah they are. The summer ones do a little bit better. The after school ones
are kind of hit or miss I think but that’s kind of been typical with our after school programs as
well so. Summer ones do tend to draw more people. We’ve tried to do some pickleball camps
and programs and the youth have not captured, they haven’t captured that attention and desire for
it yet.
Kelly: Jodi the private lessons, are they through the Rec Center?
Sarles: No, no, they’re just individuals out using the community’s courts.
Kelly: Okay.
Sarles: And I think there was one that was very frequent and I saw him at least one week straight
when we were having our pickleball tournament so they would have about 20 kids there and
there’s only, you know you look at it it’s 2 courts so they separate out into 4 and a couple
instructors. As we look in pickleball as you know it’s grown in huge popularity. The City has
10 dedicated courts so we’ve got 6 at the Rec Center and then 4 more at Roundhouse. The thing
that the Rec Center courts causes to be really popular is that they’re lit and you can play until
10:00 so that draws a lot of people to our courts. Area communities around have built 43
dedicated courts in this year and that’s, the closest ones to us are the 12 in Eden Prairie and then
8 in Minnetonka. I believe those Eden Prairie courts opened in July and our usage has gone
down during, especially during the days. I know we were getting a lot of that border folks
coming our way and now they’re going to Staring Lake or the Riley Lake Park courts that Eden
Prairie has so. And with current pickleball players we get players of all ages but of course it’s
most popular with the baby boomers. If you ask them it’s probably the most important thing is
that it’s like a social activity and they have good friendships through the groups. And then we
also have really strong community support with the Southwest Metro Pickleball Club so they’ve
been fantastic in helping us and supporting us especially with beginner lessons.
Ruegemer: So we kind of look at, we kind of give the commission just a quick snapshot of kind
of the parking, available parking inventory out at both the Rec Center and Bluff Creek
Elementary School. So the Rec Center, between regular parking spots and handicap spots we
have 165 parking spaces out there at the Rec Center including the handicap we have 113 spaces
included in that number is the 2 handicap spaces for Bluff Creek Elementary School so total of
that campus has 278 total parking spots available for a wide variety of events. Both the Rec
Center and community based exterior events and school.
Sarles: Yeah so we’re kind of looking at the situation out there. We’ve got a number of outdoor
activities that happen when kind of the popular pickleball time is. That’d be Rec Center Sports,
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – October 23, 2018
7
CAA baseball and softball in the summer and then soccer and CC United in the fall. We kind of
estimate about 225 cars nightly. That might be a little light when you start thinking of parents
coming separate to their events so sometimes one brings the child and then the other one meets
them there. Grandparents come as well so it gets, our parking lot is extremely busy and in the
fall even I think that’s really light. The 130 is probably a little bit light for the 9 fields we have
going. And then indoor activities, so we’ve got of course programs that happen inside and
facility rentals. We actually had to turn away a facility rental 2 years ago that was a monthly one
on Tuesdays because we just didn’t have parking to meet their needs and to meet the
community’s needs so they had to go find a new location. That was that Chaska Area Quilt Club
so and they’ve been there for 20 years. They grew too big and we couldn’t accommodate them
any longer so. And then I start looking at indoor activities of course there’s, the biggest ones that
really, really causing stress to the lots are when we have our activities. Bluff Creek has their
activities so they do some big activities in basically April and May and then again in the fall in
September-October. End of August too so they’ve got their back to school night. They do a
spring concert. One for band. Another night has choir. They do a school carnival. And those
really, then you’re inviting the entire, and they have another one. I can’t remember, shoot. They
just did it too. But yeah they draw the whole population of Bluff Creek Elementary so between
our sports, their activities and pickleball courts we just really run out of space and so we’re
overflow parking into the Bluff Creek bus loop and then out on Coulter Boulevard which is
posted as no parking so we just run out of space completely.
Scharfenberg: I’m guessing some of that might be conferences. School conferences.
Sarles: Yep, conferences yes. So we just have kind of an example here of what was going on on
Tuesday, August 29th. We had 40 kids in Rec Center Sports. CAA had 3 fields running. We
had pickleball courts going. Yoga, dance, and then back to school. I remember leaving that
night and people were fighting to get my spot coming from both directions trying to zoom in and
get it so it was a little bit chaotic night there at the parking lots.
Ruegemer: So yeah just the numbers shown alone there it’s 192 cars that were estimated at just
that time plus the Bluff Creek back to school night so you know that brings in a lot of customers
for their events and our events so like Jodi said there was a lot of jockeying for position in
parking spots on that particular night and that’s, you know Tuesday nights is certainly a busy
night for a lot of other activities with CAA fall soccer and school nights and different other
things going on in the spring and summer. So here’s our current tennis court conditions. These
were taken, these pictures were taken in September. Last month so you can see we’re having
significant ponding around the courts itself for that. You can see the number of cracks kind of
running through there. That is just about as, some of those are just about as over three quarters
of my pen. I didn’t have that picture in here but I put my pen down on there and it was a
significant wide crack on there so you can kind of see the current condition. Even with that
being said, what Jodi was kind of saying before there is still people still playing tennis on there
that you certainly may be limiting the groups and the number of individuals that we do have that
come out there and just simply choose to do another location to play tennis since this one is in
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – October 23, 2018
8
pretty tough shape. You can kind of see how the moisture and the frost has kind of pushed up on
the nets itself and the holes for that. You can see significant heaves in the concrete footings
certainly cracking around that area too. Certainly when you get tension on the nets they certainly
pull in and pull up and it’s not a great situation so you can kind of see where we’re at with that.
And that court, just to go back here real quick, this was crack sealed and resurfaced in 2007 so
about 11 years ago and that’s what it looks like today. And just kind of looking around the
perimeter fencing, certainly we have the frost has been pushing up on the fence and heaving
those footings up with that so that’s in a number of different areas around the perimeter fencing
around those north courts as well. You can kind of see those current conditions as well. So
here’s the fun part. So what staff wanted to do was really make it available to the commission
tonight to look at you know kind of what are our options for those north tennis courts. Current
tennis courts. So number one, we can resurface, reconstruct the two tennis courts and remain
currently what we are. We can resurface, reconstruct to make one tennis court and 4 pickleball
courts on that space. Or we can resurface and reconstruct 6 pickleball courts eliminating tennis
altogether. So what staff did, I worked with Adam and Jodi and myself to try to kind of put
together kind of an item, a list of kind of what those projects are kind of estimated at, at this
current price. Certainly you guys on your notice agenda you guys have other pictures as it
relates to this. You also have that cost estimate. This one right here. That’s kind of how we
came to these numbers so you know just as we’re looking at, we just did tennis itself and just
basically just kind of duplicated what we currently have there with all the resurfacing, the paint,
nets, posts, fencing, that sort of thing. The project estimate currently would be at $59,880.
Okay? If we would do option number 2 with one tennis court and 4 pickleball that $59,880
would still be in place but then it would be an additional $8,400. Actually it’d be $9,285 for that
for the total of $69,165. And if we would just do all pickleball, again keep that $59,000 and then
add all the fencing cost and all that into that. That would add just about $14,000 onto that
$59,000 price tag for a project estimate cost of roughly around $73,805 with that so. That’s kind
of where up against right now for the CIP for 2019. We currently have $150,000 allocated just
with, you know if we would remain with 2 tennis courts at the Rec Center and then the other 2
project locations the cost estimates right now would be at $149,975 so we started at $210,000
with our bids and we pared that down to $149,000 so we’re at, staff really feels that we did really
sharpen our pencils and have serious conversations with our contractors and bid estimates on
those so we feel we’re getting good value for the 3 locations but if the commission certainly
would like to explore you know making a budget amendment to the 2019 budget number of
$150,000 that certainly would be the commission’s choice at that point. So staff’s
recommendation to stay within budget would be to resurface, reconstruct the 2 existing tennis
courts for $59,880 at the Chan Rec Center, $45,700 at the South Lotus Lake Park tennis court
and then $44,700 at the Lake Susan Park tennis court. That would be, get us underneath our
$150,000 budgeted total for 2019. And then we certainly would be continuing then to serve our
tennis needs for our community that we are currently having at the Rec Center.
Scharfenberg: Alright, thank you Jodi and Jerry. If you could remain at the podium there and
address any questions that members may have here. I’ll open it up for questions.
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – October 23, 2018

Echternacht: I personally like staying with tennis and I’ve been in favor of pickleball…
additional courts added in the surrounding area I think we can push back on what we have.
Bandimere somewhere down the line we could go with another pickleball courts at that point but
because of the money crunch and so on…
Scharfenberg: Anyone else? Jerry does the figures that you’ve gathered and put together
include the outside fencing or is that going to be in addition to what we’re spending?
Ruegemer: No the, certainly for, that would include some of the fencing as well. I think Adam
and I are certainly aware that park maintenance staff will probably have to do some of the
removal of fencing to get equipment in so we’ll do everything we can to stay certainly within
that parameter of that number.
Scharfenberg: But don’t you have to, I mean don’t all the posts have, I mean doesn’t the whole
thing have to come out and be reset again?
Ruegemer: Not necessarily.
Scharfenberg: Even with all that frost heave?
Hoffman: Some portions are not heaved. The portions that are heaved they’ll take those out.
Ruegemer: Yeah.
Scharfenberg: Okay. Alright. And so that, so this does take into consideration the fencing or
there will be additional costs with the fencing.
Ruegemer: It’s my opinion right now or my knowledge that that would be included in that price.
Scharfenberg: Okay. And Jodi just so if you could speak to the issue of, you know I’m not
saying anybody’s in favor of it but if it was all pickleball at the Rec Center how would that
potentially impact do you think the summer programs and have you thought about okay what
would we do? Where would we hold those? Can you just speak to that issue?
Sarles: Sure yeah. I mean I think for us tennis has always been a little more popular because
parents remember playing it a little bit better with the younger kids than pickleball. I believe that
leaving the court situation kind of as is also allows for more activities inside and you know
outside between CAA and our own programs at the Rec Center. Once you start taking away
additional, so if we put in another 6 courts you multiply that by you know 12 more people. 12
more cars times 3 because they come in mass when they come so they like to, players like to be
there for the social aspect and then they tend to stay for the 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. hours especially.
So I think you know we would definitely have to rethink how we program things out there.
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – October 23, 2018

What would work. What wouldn’t work as far as to fit in, what everybody’s needs which I’m
not sure that can happen.
Ruegemer: Part of that too Chair Scharfenberg is looking at if we would go to that direction
certainly we would have to work with Chanhassen Athletic Association on those. I mean they
are currently scheduling 2 game times per night per field so, whether that is, you know we’ve
talked about staggering game times. We’ve talked about trying to maximize and schedule a little
smarter type of thing but you know they’re certainly trying to maximize our field options out at
the Rec Center as well so. Not to say that we can’t come to some type of an agreement. Kind of
go down that road but certainly it would be painful for the associations.
Scharfenberg: And I’m assuming that this project would be bid as one big project. The bids
wouldn’t be split out would they?
Hoffman: One project.
Scharfenberg: Okay. And typically in the past did we have local businesses that bid or anybody
nationally that comes in to bid on something like this?
Hoffman: Local contractors.
Scharfenberg: Okay. And just for clarification, you know to make these usable, is this just fill in
the cracks and resurface or will it be more than that?
Hoffman: It’s a petro mat that is really the key and so they crack, take out the cracks. Grind
them down. Fill those and then put that petro mat over the top of that so those cracks don’t
reflect again and that’s been a really successful application over the past few rejuvenations of our
tennis courts. And so you see if you go visit those courts that Jerry mentioned, Meadow Green
and North Lotus, they look in exceptional shape because the cracks are there but they’re
underneath that petro mat and they can’t get through it to reflect into the new surface. So that’s
the change since the last time these were fixed. In ’07 the same application. They ground out
the cracks. Patched them but then they just paved and painted and those cracks came right back
through. That petro mat is a barrier to that crack. It doesn’t allow them to come up into that new
layer of asphalt that you put on.
Boettcher: And how long ago was that done? Like at North Lotus.
Ruegemer: 2012.
Hoffman: Yep, 2012.
Scharfenberg: And how long does the whole kind of process take for them to say do the Rec
Center? How long does that process take?
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – October 23, 2018
11
Hoffman: Probably a month.
Scharfenberg: So have we thought about once, would the bids go out sometime this winter then?
Hoffman: They would. Yep. So the first quarter and then you know prime time June, July,
August. Those are best construction. Best weather…somewhere in there.
Scharfenberg: Okay. Any other questions for staff?
Boettcher: I was just kind of an aside but part of your presentation it sounded a little bit low to
me but I lived in Florida for a few years so it was a little bit different but when you said the
number of parking spots, 165 with 5 handicap, I thought I had a chance to report you but you’re
pretty close to Minnesotaemployee.com standards at 151 to 200 is 6 handicap so. Like I said in
Florida it was usually 90 percent. But again not to deal with this but I thought it sounded a little
bit on the low side.
Scharfenberg: I thought the same thing Jim. It did sound low.
Boettcher: Yeah, well and I’m thinking too, I mean not that someone who’s handicap would
necessarily play pickleball or tennis but coming up to watch or whatever it just sounded so I
guess you’re safe.
Sarles: I can tell you when the senior center has their holiday party out there or events, yep we
are very low on handicap. We actually, I think you’ve kind of parked cars Todd.
Hoffman: (Yes).
Scharfenberg: Alright. Any other questions? If not can I have a motion?
Boettcher: I’d like to make the motion as recommended. The Park and Rec Commission
recommends to City Council that the Chan Rec Center courts be resurfaced, reconstructed to
preserve 2 tennis courts. This project is included in the 2019 CIP tennis court refurbishment
budget.
Scharfenberg: Do we have a second?
Echternacht: I’ll second.
Scharfenberg: We have a motion and a second.
Boettcher moved, Echternacht seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission
recommends to City Council that the Chan Rec Center courts be resurfaced, reconstructed
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – October 23, 2018
12
to preserve 2 tennis courts. This project is included in the 2019 CIP tennis court
refurbishment budget. All voted in favor, except for Commissioner Kelly who abstained.
The motion carried with a vote of 7 in favor and 1 abstention.
Scharfenberg: Alright we have 7 in favor and 1 abstention. Alright moving on. Next item,
again thank you Jerry and Jodi for putting that together. That information. That was very
helpful and we look forward to council approving that project.
Ruegemer: Thank you.
DISCUSSION OF ICE SKATING RINK LOCATIONS.
Scharfenberg: We will move on next to Old Business and I had added skating rinks. I added
that. This past week Todd and I received an email from City Councilmember Elise Ryan.
Councilwoman Ryan has been contacted, indicated she had been contacted by several families
living in the Pioneer Pass neighborhood and she was inquiring about the possibility of having a
pleasure rink placed at Pioneer Pass. Todd sent an email back to the councilwoman indicating
that you know this issue kind of had come up already at our September Park and Rec session.
That we voted on those rinks and Todd wasn’t recommending that we adopt anything, although
Todd indicated that it would be up to myself to bring that back to the commission so I’m just
raising that. Letting people know that that issue had come up and my position would be, I think
similar to Todd’s that we’ve already addressed that particular issue. We asked at the time of the
September meeting if there were any other neighborhoods that had spoken up and we weren’t
aware of any and we made a determination to pass staff’s recommendation. Certainly if the
commission wants to take on a pleasure rink and look at that next year I would say that we would
you know look at something like that next year but I wouldn’t be open necessarily to revising
that this year. Any issues? Any discussion by anybody?
Boettcher: If something like that were to be discussed what would be the location? Would it be
by the playground there?
Scharfenberg: I’m guessing that they have that open field next to the softball field. That they’d
be doing it there, yep.
Hoffman: Do one or the other. Either the soccer field or the softball field. I think we’d pick the
one with the least amount of slope.
Scharfenberg: Alright. Anybody feel inclined to do anything different? Seeing nodded heads,
alright so I will pass that onto Councilwoman Ryan. I know she was going to speak to some of
the people in that neighborhood and let them know that. They had interest in the future Todd
certainly come to the commission and express their interest.
COMMISSION MEMBER COMMITTEE REPORTS. None.
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – October 23, 2018

COMMISSION MEMBER PRESENTATIONS. None.
ADMINISTRATIVE PACKET.
Scharfenberg: I would just comment on again the award presented to the Park and Rec
Commission from the, the September meeting down in Rochester and I think Todd and.
Hoffman: Adam.
Scharfenberg: And Adam were down there to accept that award. Maybe Todd you could just
give us a little update on how that went.
Hoffman: Be glad to. Adam and I visited Rochester for a couple of days back in the later part of
September. So great conference. Association of Planners and it was a regional conference but
this was the Minnesota Chapter of Awards and we were really honored. Up on the big screen.
Invited up to join the group and lots of consultants there and then just a lot of area planners and
park and recreation professionals and to be recognized for especially for community
engagement, I think it’s something we really strive to reach out to our citizenry during that
planning process to make sure that the information that we put forth to the, into the plan and to
the City Council was valid and so this really you know brought that home. It was a nice evening
dinner and there’s a photo floating out there somewhere. I haven’t seen it yet so we’ll send that
along when we see it so. But reflecting back, if you recall it was really the commission that
brought this to the attention of the City Council and asked them to approve funding, for it’s
funding a Park and Recreation System Plan and then you appointed a couple of members to sit
on that advisory board and it was an 18 month long process and so you know very in depth plan
and now when we’re starting as staff when we go and write reports so for example we’re doing a
development subdivision review. We go to that plan. And so we go to that plan and we utilize
what the information is in there to reflect back on what kind of requirements we’re going to ask
for conditions of approval for both parks and trails. And so it’s a comprehensive document and
it speaks to the people and when you do that, when you present that kind of information to
developers, everybody recognizes that this plan was officially vetted. Adopted by the City
Council. The citizenry was involved. It’s hard to fight against that and so it’s really a valuable
document for the future of our community and obviously just proud to be recognized for that
process.
Scharfenberg: Alright, thank you Todd. Anything else in the packet? Jerry anything on picnic
evaluations you want to talk about?
Ruegemer: Just you know, just I’d say par for the course.
Boettcher: Don’t ask him to pat himself on the back. We get enough of that.
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – October 23, 2018

Ruegemer: Yeah just here we strive hard to really exceed people’s, certainly customer’s
expectations and that doesn’t just, that just doesn’t happen in my chair. Certainly Adam and his
staff are wonderful out there. They’re out there on a daily basis making sure that all the picnic
sites are clean and presentable for our next customers so it really is a team effort. It’s not just me
up here taking the glory so I really tip my cap to the park maintenance division as well. Adam
and his crew do a great job.
Scharfenberg: I’d just comment that I stopped up at Manchester Park I think after our last
meeting and kind of looked at that. You know I think it turned out really nice. Has that all been
completed now?
Hoffman: The sod is down. There’s trees planted. The only thing left would be the final lift of
the asphalt in the parking lot.
Scharfenberg: Okay. And any feedback from anybody that you’ve heard from?
Hoffman: Yep. The neighbors that have been walking down think it’s really nice. We’re just
going to have, let the neighborhood grow used, accustomed to the new facility. You’ll recall
there was a little bit of apprehension about the water treatment plant so we’re just going to open
it up and allow the neighborhood to wander down there and start utilizing it. We may send out a
note of completion when it’s all said and done, thanking them for their patience.
Scharfenberg: Yeah I was really impressed with the way that it all turned out.
Hoffman: It looks nice.
Scharfenberg: Yeah. Alright.
Boettcher: I just had one comment, more of a question. I know it’s on the up and up I’m sure
but I’d never noticed before, there’s a motorhome that’s been parked over at Lake Ann Park right
by the facility shed.
Hoffman: During the day?
Boettcher: Yeah. Well it’s almost like it’s, I’ve taken my dog there in the evening and then the
next morning I see it again. They’re not doing it without permission I’m sure but I just didn’t
know, and that’s I think it was the lady was taking a lot of photographs of the, a lot of still shots
of the area.
Hoffman: It seems like Jerry knows something about it.
Boettcher: Jerry’s cousin probably.

Ruegemer: Commissioner Boettcher I can address that question. I noticed the same thing
probably 2 or 3 weeks ago. I did, I had a conversation with Lieutenant Kittelson with our Carver
County liaison with that. Deputies were summoned to kind of investigate that area out there.
What’s happening is there’s a couple that is going through kind of a transition. They’re waiting
for a new residence to become available I believe the first part of November so what they’ve
been doing is bringing the motorhome there during regular park hours so they are there during
the day. During in that parking lot that you see them. Then at night they’re going to another
location I believe in Chaska for that so they kind of keep making the rounds I guess on that. It’s
legit. Well as far as…but there isn’t any shenanigans going on. It seems like they’re behaving
themselves out there. I know the Carver County seemed satisfied with their I guess excuse of
why they’re there but so it looks like it’s temporary and they will be out of there hopefully the
first part of November.
Boettcher: Well and you could tell them, I don’t know if they still do but Walmart used to offer
that to anyone with a motorhome. When I would be traveling in Sioux Falls that Walmart down
there always had at least 8 or 10 RV’s sitting at it every night.
Hoffman: They still do it.
Boettcher: So it wasn’t any of your relatives sitting out here then?
Ruegemer: No. It was not.
Scharfenberg: It’s not Chanhassen’s version of Breaking Bad?
Ruegemer: I don’t think there was any meth going on the way it sounded so I think we’re good.
Hoffman: It has brought up a question because now sports teams bring motorhomes as their club
house and so motorhome parking is not permitted in Lake Ann Park by ordinance so it’s not, it’s
not accommodated and so there is always that to fall back on. You have to fit in the stall to be
legal. There is not motorhome parking available at Lake Ann Park.
Boettcher: Good to know.
Hoffman: But Chair Scharfenberg the last thing I have is November we do not have any, other
than a couple reports which could be moved to December so if a development comes through.
Lands on the November agenda we’ll continue with that meeting but otherwise we may, with
your permission postpone it and move those items to December and then not meet in November
but staff will keep you updated. Typically that we’ll know about 2 weeks out. And then on a
development note the Holasek property, his name is called Holasek Business Park and it does not
require review by the Park and Recreation Commission but I can tell you what it is. There’s 3
large industrial buildings built. Really the east to west along, from Lyman south end of the
property, that pond that you see kind of that wetland area will be a pond. The main entrance will
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – October 23, 2018

be right across from Galpin. It’s being developed by Mark Undestad and his group and the park
fees will be about $454,000 so it’s 12 and half thousand dollars per acre times the acreage of the
3 lots. There’s an outlot that does not get charged so I wrote that report today. It’s in your
admin packet for the next time so I just wanted to let you know that that is at least up for
consideration. It sounds like there’s users for all 3 of the structures that are being built. They’re
about 110,000 square feet each on average. These facilities, it sounds like they’re transfer type
facilities. Packaging transfer type facilities and so it’s pretty exciting. I know there was talk off
and on about potentially athletic fields there. Something like that but it doesn’t seem to be in the
cards right now but $454,000 in park fees isn’t bad either.
Kelly: Todd if we’re not having a meeting next month don’t we have to figure out our December
meeting because it won’t be the fourth Tuesday and that will be the party night.
Hoffman: Yep. It’s always the second Tuesday so it’s scheduled.
Kelly: The 11th?
Scharfenberg: December 11th.
Hoffman: Yep. That is per the schedule, correct.
Kelly: And do we meet earlier on that? On December, I can’t remember.
Hoffman: Typically we have. About 6:30 so we can get out of there and get out for our social.
Kelly: Okay, thank you.
Hoffman: You’re welcomed.
Scharfenberg: Okay if there isn’t anything else can I entertain a motion?
Boettcher moved, Echternacht seconded to adjourn the meeting. All voted in favor and the
motion carried unanimously with a vote of 8 to 0. The Park and Recreation Commission

Subject Resolution 201857: Lake Drive East Street Improvement Project No. 1802: Accept Feasibility Study; Call Public Hearing
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: E.4.
Prepared By George Bender, Assistant City Engineer File No: Project No. 201802
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council accepts the feasibility report for the Lake Drive East Street Improvement Project No. 1802 and calls for the public hearing to be held on
December 10, 2018."
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
On May 8, 2017, the City Council approved a consultant contract for the Lake Drive East Street Rehabilitation Project No. 1802.
On November 8, 2018, an open house neighborhood meeting was held to discuss the proposed project.
DISCUSSION
Every year the city considers streets that are in poor condition to be rehabilitated or reconstructed. The Capital Improvement Program has planned for the
rehabilitation of Lake Drive East in the summer of 2019. Staff utilized the city’s Pavement Management Program and site investigations to determine the
project extents, as illustrated in Figure 1. The project includes approximately 0.76 miles of urbanized streets.
Lake Drive East is a Municipal State Aid Route that was constructed in 1991, overlaid in 2002 and sealcoated in 1995 and 2005. The 2015 surveyed
pavement conditions were 66.8 and 67.3 on the west and east sides of Dakota Avenue, respectively as shown in Figure 1. A PCI of 100 represents a new
street.
Figure 1: Proposed Project Area and 2015 Pavement Condition Scores
According to 2015 traffic counts, Lake Drive East carried approximately 3,600 vehicles per day. Additional traffic counts were performed in August 2017
including counts on the weekend. Weekend traffic was 30% to 50% lower than weekday traffic. The weekday vehicle counts were up to 4,100 vehicles per
day east of the Dakota Avenue intersection.
Dakota Avenue is also a Municipal State Aid Route constructed in 1986 and sealcoated in 2005. As shown in Figure 1, the 2015 surveyed pavement
condition was 74.4, which is higher than expected due to the extensive patching along the street corridor. A 190foot long, raised concrete median separates
north and southbound Dakota Avenue. The northbound portion consists of two through lanes, one left turn lane, and one right turn lane. The southbound
portion consists of two lanes that transition to a right turn and a through/left turn lane at the Lake Drive East intersection. According to 2015 traffic counts,

Dakota Avenue carries approximately 4,500 vehicles per day. Additional traffic counts were performed in August 2017 and the counted vehicles were up to
8,000 vehicles per day between the intersection with TH 5 and the intersection at Lake Drive East.
Street and Intersection Improvements
Staff recommends including Dakota Avenue in the project due to the underlying pavement condition, traffic volume, and the anticipated intersection
improvements at Lake Drive East. The feasibility report includes proposed improvements at this intersection. Staff also recommends the pavement
rehabilitation be accomplished as a mill and overlay project.
Over the years, the city has received a significant amount of resident feedback related to this intersection. The intersection currently has a twoway stop
condition for both directions of the Lake Drive East traffic. Residents in the Chanhassen Estates neighborhood to the south are concerned with eastbound
Lake Drive East traffic failing to yield to traffic on Dakota Avenue. The intersection averages about one crash per year. There is also concern for pedestrian
and bicyclist safety at this intersection. The feasibility study analyzed six alternatives for the intersection design including leaving the existing twoway stop
condition or modifying it to a threeway stop or an allway stop with and without turn lanes. The study also analyzed installing a traffic signal and a mini
roundabout. The feasibility study and staff recommend a threeway stop condition be considered as the primary alternative (Figure 2). The secondary
alternative (Figure 3) would be the installation of a miniroundabout. Both alternatives would include pedestrian crossing improvements. Both alternatives
addressed traffic concerns but the threeway stop is much more cost effective and does not require rightofway to be acquired. The recommended
pedestrian improvement includes signed and marked crossings on the north and west sides of the intersection. In conjunction with the threeway stop
alternative, the median north of the intersection would be extended to the south and incorporate a pedestrian refuge. In addition, a sidewalk along the west
side of the block to the south of the intersection will also be considered to improve pedestrian safety to the neighborhood.
One of the biggest neighborhood concerns with traffic at the Dakota Avenue and Lake Drive intersection is the east and westbound Lake Drive East traffic
failing to stop for traffic on Dakota Avenue. Currently, there are orange flags on the stop signs to draw driver's attention to the stop condition. Some drivers
still roll through the intersection without completely stopping. An enhancement to the stop sign which would draw driver's attention to the stop condition would
be replacement of the stop sign with stop signs that have embedded LED flashing perimeter lights. National studies have shown these signs help improve
driver stop compliance. However, the signs have demonstrated they lose their effectiveness over time, as the traveling public becomes accustomed to the
signs. Two embedded LED solarpowered stop signs on Lake Drive East are estimated to cost $4,500. Battery life expectancy of these units are three
years, with a replacement cost of $200 each.

Water Main Improvements
Twelveinch ductile iron water main is within Lake Drive East and eightinch cast iron water main is within Dakota Avenue as shown in Figure 4. There are no
documented water main breaks within the project area. Some of the existing valves and hydrants are anticipated to be repaired/replaced with this project.
Figure 4: Existing Water Main
The cast iron water main under Dakota Avenue is proposed to be replaced with PVC pipe. It has been the city’s practice to replace cast iron water main in
conjunction with street projects in order to reduce the potential for disruptive and costly water main breaks. In addition, the 8inch cast iron water main under
Dakota Avenue extends to the north under TH 5. The pipe was not installed within a casing and access to it underneath TH 5 is limited due to traffic volumes. A
water main break under TH 5 would be a poor location for it to occur due to the impact to a high volume of traffic and the repair expense. An engineering report
was prepared specific to this section of pipe to consider if it would be necessary to rehabilitate the existing pipe via a curedinplace structural lining process due to
pressure or flow concerns. This section of pipe was modeled and analyzed for ancillary effects related to pressure and flow if it was eliminated. The report found
the 8inch water main could be eliminated with little effect on the water system in the area within and around the project.

Sanitary Sewer Improvements
Municipal sanitary sewer within the project area is 8inch PVC pipe and 12inch RCP as shown in Figure 5. The city had the sewer lines cleaned and televised
to determine the scope of work. Some minor repairs are recommended to the sanitary sewer system including removal of mineral deposits at joints within the
existing mains. Other inflow and infiltration reduction items recommended include replacement of concrete adjusting rings, installation of chimney seals, and
replacement of casting lids that do not conform to city standards. Staff inspections indicated there is not a need for manhole repair or replacement.
Figure 5: Existing Sanitary Sewer
Storm Sewer Improvements
The existing storm system is shown in Figure 6. City staff inspected the storm sewer system and identified necessary repairs. Improvements to the system will
include replacement of structures that are failing including concrete adjusting rings and invert repairs. Additionally, the project will include the installation of
drain tile behind the back of the curb to alleviate groundwater from weeping onto the street. The location and extent of drain tile installation will be determined
during the design process.

Staff utilized the city’s Pavement Management Program and site investigations to determine theproject extents, as illustrated in Figure 1. The project includes approximately 0.76 miles of urbanized streets.Lake Drive East is a Municipal State Aid Route that was constructed in 1991, overlaid in 2002 and sealcoated in 1995 and 2005. The 2015 surveyedpavement conditions were 66.8 and 67.3 on the west and east sides of Dakota Avenue, respectively as shown in Figure 1. A PCI of 100 represents a newstreet.Figure 1: Proposed Project Area and 2015 Pavement Condition ScoresAccording to 2015 traffic counts, Lake Drive East carried approximately 3,600 vehicles per day. Additional traffic counts were performed in August 2017including counts on the weekend. Weekend traffic was 30% to 50% lower than weekday traffic. The weekday vehicle counts were up to 4,100 vehicles perday east of the Dakota Avenue intersection.Dakota Avenue is also a Municipal State Aid Route constructed in 1986 and sealcoated in 2005. As shown in Figure 1, the 2015 surveyed pavementcondition was 74.4, which is higher than expected due to the extensive patching along the street corridor. A 190foot long, raised concrete median separatesnorth and southbound Dakota Avenue. The northbound portion consists of two through lanes, one left turn lane, and one right turn lane. The southboundportion consists of two lanes that transition to a right turn and a through/left turn lane at the Lake Drive East intersection. According to 2015 traffic counts,Dakota Avenue carries approximately 4,500 vehicles per day. Additional traffic counts were performed in August 2017 and the counted vehicles were up to8,000 vehicles per day between the intersection with TH 5 and the intersection at Lake Drive East.Street and Intersection ImprovementsStaff recommends including Dakota Avenue in the project due to the underlying pavement condition, traffic volume, and the anticipated intersectionimprovements at Lake Drive East. The feasibility report includes proposed improvements at this intersection. Staff also recommends the pavementrehabilitation be accomplished as a mill and overlay project.Over the years, the city has received a significant amount of resident feedback related to this intersection. The intersection currently has a twoway stopcondition for both directions of the Lake Drive East traffic. Residents in the Chanhassen Estates neighborhood to the south are concerned with eastboundLake Drive East traffic failing to yield to traffic on Dakota Avenue. The intersection averages about one crash per year. There is also concern for pedestrianand bicyclist safety at this intersection. The feasibility study analyzed six alternatives for the intersection design including leaving the existing twoway stopcondition or modifying it to a threeway stop or an allway stop with and without turn lanes. The study also analyzed installing a traffic signal and a miniroundabout. The feasibility study and staff recommend a threeway stop condition be considered as the primary alternative (Figure 2). The secondaryalternative (Figure 3) would be the installation of a miniroundabout. Both alternatives would include pedestrian crossing improvements. Both alternativesaddressed traffic concerns but the threeway stop is much more cost effective and does not require rightofway to be acquired. The recommendedpedestrian improvement includes signed and marked crossings on the north and west sides of the intersection. In conjunction with the threeway stopalternative, the median north of the intersection would be extended to the south and incorporate a pedestrian refuge. In addition, a sidewalk along the westside of the block to the south of the intersection will also be considered to improve pedestrian safety to the neighborhood.One of the biggest neighborhood concerns with traffic at the Dakota Avenue and Lake Drive intersection is the east and westbound Lake Drive East trafficfailing to stop for traffic on Dakota Avenue. Currently, there are orange flags on the stop signs to draw driver's attention to the stop condition. Some driversstill roll through the intersection without completely stopping. An enhancement to the stop sign which would draw driver's attention to the stop condition wouldbe replacement of the stop sign with stop signs that have embedded LED flashing perimeter lights. National studies have shown these signs help improvedriver stop compliance. However, the signs have demonstrated they lose their effectiveness over time, as the traveling public becomes accustomed to thesigns. Two embedded LED solarpowered stop signs on Lake Drive East are estimated to cost $4,500. Battery life expectancy of these units are threeyears, with a replacement cost of $200 each. Figure 2: ThreeWay Stop with Pedestrian Improvements AlternativeFigure 3: MiniRoundabout Alternative with Pedestrian CrossingsWater Main ImprovementsTwelveinch ductile iron water main is within Lake Drive East and eightinch cast iron water main is within Dakota Avenue as shown in Figure 4. There are nodocumented water main breaks within the project area. Some of the existing valves and hydrants are anticipated to be repaired/replaced with this project.Figure 4: Existing Water MainThe cast iron water main under Dakota Avenue is proposed to be replaced with PVC pipe. It has been the city’s practice to replace cast iron water main inconjunction with street projects in order to reduce the potential for disruptive and costly water main breaks. In addition, the 8inch cast iron water main underDakota Avenue extends to the north under TH 5. The pipe was not installed within a casing and access to it underneath TH 5 is limited due to traffic volumes. Awater main break under TH 5 would be a poor location for it to occur due to the impact to a high volume of traffic and the repair expense. An engineering reportwas prepared specific to this section of pipe to consider if it would be necessary to rehabilitate the existing pipe via a curedinplace structural lining process due topressure or flow concerns. This section of pipe was modeled and analyzed for ancillary effects related to pressure and flow if it was eliminated. The report foundthe 8inch water main could be eliminated with little effect on the water system in the area within and around the project.Sanitary Sewer ImprovementsMunicipal sanitary sewer within the project area is 8inch PVC pipe and 12inch RCP as shown in Figure 5. The city had the sewer lines cleaned and televisedto determine the scope of work. Some minor repairs are recommended to the sanitary sewer system including removal of mineral deposits at joints within theexisting mains. Other inflow and infiltration reduction items recommended include replacement of concrete adjusting rings, installation of chimney seals, andreplacement of casting lids that do not conform to city standards. Staff inspections indicated there is not a need for manhole repair or replacement.Figure 5: Existing Sanitary SewerStorm Sewer ImprovementsThe existing storm system is shown in Figure 6. City staff inspected the storm sewer system and identified necessary repairs. Improvements to the system willinclude replacement of structures that are failing including concrete adjusting rings and invert repairs. Additionally, the project will include the installation ofdrain tile behind the back of the curb to alleviate groundwater from weeping onto the street. The location and extent of drain tile installation will be determinedduring the design process.Figure 6: Existing Storm SewerFeasibility ReportThe feasibility report was prepared by WSB and Associates. A copy of the feasibility report is available in the Engineering Department. An open house was held on Thursday, November 8, 2018 to discuss the proposed project and to answer questions; approximately 30 people attended. Allof the residents' questions were answered at the meeting and/or with a followup after the meeting.SCHEDULEThe proposed project schedule is as follows:Neighborhood Meeting November 8, 2018City Council Accepts Feasibility Report; Orders Public Hearing November 26, 2018

Chanhassen, Minnesota
AET Proposal No. 01-20255
Dear Mr. Oehme:
American Engineering Testing, Inc. (AET) is pleased to submit this proposal for geotechnical
services. In this proposal, we present our understanding of the project, an outline of the scope of
services we are to provide, a schedule of our proposed work, and an estimate of our fees.
1.0 PROJECT INFORMATION:
The project realigns and reconstructs a portion of Trunk Highway 101 (TH 101), from CSAH 61
(Flying Cloud Dr.) to CSAH 14 (Pioneer Trail). The project limits extend from STA 54+86
(CSAH 61) to 111+47 (CSAH 14), a distance of approximately 1.1 miles, expanding and
realigning the current two-lane rural road into a four-lane urban roadway section. The southern
end of the realigned highway section will connect to the recently constructed roundabout
intersection on CSAH 61. The project will remove poor operations and safety problems along the
corridor caused due to capacity constraints, poor sight lines, blind intersections, and narrow
shoulders bringing it up to CSAH standards.
As part of the project a box culvert will be installed as a trail underpass crossing under TH101
just north of the roundabout at approximate STA 55+80. A pedestrian bridge will be constructed
at approximate STA 62+70 to allow the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail to cross
over TH101. New intersections will be created at Creekwood Drive and Bramble Drive. A new
retaining wall will also be built south of the Creekwood Drive intersection and west of the
proposed highway. Additionally, two new storm water ponds will be created and a third pond,
north of CSAH 14 will be expanded. Also, as part of the project new bituminous pavement and
storm sewer system will be put in along with concrete curb and gutter.
2.0 PROJECT STAFFING:
AET is fortunate to have a diverse staff of highly technical experts with extensive experience on
MnDOT projects. We’ve won the majority of recent large design-build projects in Minnesota
and coupled with other Trunk Highway, County and Municipal projects we’ve developed a
strong team of transportation experts.
City of Chanhassen – TH101 Improvements
AET Proposal No. 01-20255

Page 2 of 6
Matt Ruble will act as the project manager for this project. Matt has extensive transportation
experience including acting as the lead engineer for the adjacent CR61 project under
construction in Hennepin and Carver County while at a former employer. Matt led the strategic
discussions with Hennepin County staff and other consultants to develop a design that met
Hennepin County and MnDOT needs. Some of the geotechnical conditions encountered in that
project will likely be encountered in this project including organic soils, compressible natural
soils, seepage conditions, and bluff stabilization.
Jeff Voyen and Joe Bentler will serve as technical resources. Jeff and Joe have extensive
transportation experience and both worked on the adjacent TH101 by providing geotechnical
services to S.E.H. Greg Reuter is another technical resource for this project. Greg is currently
the geotechnical department lead and performs an extensive amount of work on transportation
projects.
Jeff, Joe, Greg and the rest of our transportation and geotechnical team will be a great asset to
providing recommendations for both design and construction for this project. The resumes of
Jeff, Joe and Greg are attached to this proposal.
3.0 AVAILABLE GEOTECHNICAL INFORMATION
AET reviewed the Preliminary Geotech Memorandum, dated October 1, 2015, prepared by Mr.
Luke Thompson, PE and Mr. Brent Theroux, PE of S.E.H., Inc that was provided as part of the
RFP package. We also reviewed the MnDOT boring logs attached to the memorandum. These
logs indicate the presence of swamp deposits at boring B-1, just north of the CSAH 61
roundabout, approximately 20 feet below existing grade. Further north along the proposed
highway, moving to higher elevations the soils appear to be alluvium deposits consisting of
sandy loam, silty loam and clay loam along with outwash sands, organic clay and clay till.
Geotechnical Field Exploration
The total length of the proposed project (excluding side streets and intersections) is
approximately 5545 feet. It is our understanding the City of Chanhassen does not desire a
geotechnical exploration program meeting all MnDOT standards but prefers a program more
similar to some municipal and county projects. We have reviewed the completed soil boring
program and recommend the additional borings discussed below.
The borings will be extended to depths ranging from 10 to 80 feet below existing grades. The
deeper borings are predominantly located in areas of structures or swamp deposits with the
shallower borings typically located in roadway construction areas.
The exact locations and depths of these borings can be found in the attachments to this proposal.
A breakdown of the numbers and types of borings is as follows:
City of Chanhassen – TH101 Improvements
AET Proposal No. 01-20255
November 16, 2018
Page 3 of 6
• To determine the extent of the muck excavation (swamp deposit area), we propose to
perform 8 SPT borings from STA 55+80 to STA 58+80. These borings are spaced
approximately 100 feet apart with 3 borings across two of the cross sections (one at the
centerline and two on each side of the roadway). These new borings along with the one
SPT boring that MnDOT performed (B-1) will allow us to investigate the extent of the
muck excavation as well as soils underneath the proposed box culvert at STA 55+80.
• Perform 2 SPT borings for the pedestrian bridge at STA 62+70, one for each abutment.
Boring B-3 does not appear to be deep enough to provide possible recommendations for
both spread footings and deep foundations using piling as requested by Mr. Thompson.
• Perform 3 FA borings on the remaining sections of the proposed TH101.
• Perform 3 SPT borings sampled at 2½ feet intervals for the three storm water ponds being
built or expanded as part of the project with depths extending to 10 feet below the bottom
of basin elevation.
• Perform an additional FA boring to a depth of 10 ft. on Creekwood Drive, east of the
proposed TH101.
• Perform laboratory testing on retrieved soil samples.
We have budgeted to perform the services with an off-road vehicle away from the roadway to the
extent traffic control is not needed with the exception of four days of drilling. We have been
requested to budget for four days of drilling with a flagging crew.
Before we drill, we will contact Gopher State One Call to locate public underground utilities.
Gopher State One Call does not currently charge for this service, but they will not locate private
lines. We request that you locate private utilities. If it is necessary to contact a private locating
company, these companies charge for their services, but we have not included a fee in this proposal
for retaining a private locator. If this is found to be necessary, we will pass this fee along to you at
cost, in addition to our fee for the geotechnical exploration.
Accessing the boring locations may leave ruts in the ground. We assume that the City of
Chanhassen will arrange and handle any site restoration work. We have not included a fee for site
restoration in our cost estimate.
Accessing all of the desired boring locations due to hilly terrain or other obstructions such as trees
or heavy brush may be difficult. We have not budgeted for tree removal or grading equipment to
level earth for drill rig access.
We assume that all boring locations are readily accessible for our all-terrain vehicle-mounted drill
rig and right of entry will be obtained by others. We have not budgeted for snow plowing to access
the site but could do so if requested.
FINAL REPORT
Upon completion of the drilling and laboratory testing, we will prepare a final geotechnical
report. The final report will include logs of all borings completed for this project, laboratory test

results, a review of engineering properties of the on-site soils, and our geotechnical engineering
opinions and recommendations regarding the following:
• Grading procedures to prepare the roadway alignments for embankment and pavement
support.
• Estimates of time-rate of consolidation and total settlement for the proposed roadway
embankments for organic areas.
• Foundation types and depths, including allowable soil bearing capacity and estimates of
foundation settlement for proposed pedestrian bridge, box culvert and retaining wall.
• Pavement designs for TH101, Creekwood Drive, and Bramble Drive, based on traffic
data provided by BMI.
• Comments on other items which may affect final performance or constructability, such as
frost heave, drainage considerations, and safe excavation limits.
MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FEES:
Effective July 1, 2017, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has changed the borehole
sealing and notification requirements. For sites where borings are drilled to a depth of 15 feet or
deeper, all licensed drilling companies are required by law to submit written notification to the
MDH prior to drilling along with a fee of $75. If one or more of the boring depths vary by 25
feet, or more, the MDH requires an additional written notification and fee of $75 per boring.
Projects that span multiple properties will require multiple notifications. The MDH also requires
that these borings be grouted and that a Sealing Record be submitted to the MDH, with a copy to
you, after the borings are completed. The above fee estimate for our geotechnical services
includes the MDH fee for the proposed scope of drilling; however, because final boring depths
can change, for example, due to possible unanticipated poor soil conditions, the final MDH fee
(including an administrative charge of $65 per notification) will be added, if necessary, to our
final invoice to you.
The MDH Sealing Record requires the Property Owner name and mailing address (the Property
Owner will also receive a copy of the Sealing Record). Please provide this information below.

at the specified site. This proposal does not cover an environmental assessment of the site or
environmental testing of the soil or groundwater. If you wish to have us provide these additional
services, please contact us.
FEES
Our fees for services will be charged on a time and materials basis in accordance with the
attached fee schedule.
For the scope of services described above, our charges will be as follows:
1. Field exploration $ 30,572.74
2. Utility Clearance and Traffic Control $ 2,246.00
3. 4 days of Flagging Crew $ 7,200.00
4. Laboratory testing $ 4,801.00
5. Project Management and Geotechnical engineering $ 17,268.00
TOTAL ESTIMATE $ 62,087.74
Optional Services
A. Extra Slope Stability Analysis $2,500 per analysis
We’d like to highlight a few additional costs that could be incurred based on the desired location
of the borings:
• We have included fees for stability analysis of two swamp deposit cross sections and for
the retaining wall.
• We have budgeted to perform the borings away from the roadway with an off-road drill
rig. If the borings are performed near the roadway we would utilize a truck-mounted drill
rig and reduce the cost of our drilling services by about $300/day.
• We have not budgeted for MnDOT, City or County permit fees. We will obtain permits
but presume any fees will be waived for this project.
• We have not budgeted for snow plowing.
• We have not budgeted for private utility locators.
In the event the scope of our services needs to be revised (for example, additional or deeper
borings/soundings, or additional field or laboratory testing), we will review such scope
adjustments and the associated fees with you, and receive your approval before proceeding.
Additional services, not outlined on the attached estimated table of fees, will be performed at our 2018 fee
schedule rates.

ACS417EG (01/18) AMERICAN ENGINEERING TESTING, INC.
SECTION 1 - RESPONSIBILITIES
1.1 - This Service Agreement – Terms and Conditions (“terms and conditions”) is applicable to all Services provided by American Engineering
Testing, Inc. (AET). As used herein “Services” refers to the scope of services described in the proposal submitted by AET to Client. The proposal,
these terms and conditions and any appendices attached hereto shall comprise the Agreement between AET and Client for Services described in
the proposal and are binding upon the Client, its successors, assignees, joint ventures and third-party beneficiaries. AET requests written
acceptance of the Agreement, but the following actions shall also constitute Client’s acceptance of the Agreement: 1) issuing an authorizing
purchase order, task order or service order for any of the Services, 2) authorizing AET’s presence on site, or 3) written or electronic notification
for AET to proceed with any of the Services. Issuance of a purchase order, task order or service order by Client which contains separate terms
and conditions will not take precedence or modify the terms and conditions contained in this Service Agreement.
1.2 – Prior to AET performing Services, Client will provide AET with all information that may affect the cost, progress, safety and performance of
the Services. This includes, but is not limited to, information on proposed and existing construction, all pertinent sections of contracts between
Client and property owner, site safety plans or other documents which may control or affect AET's Services. If new information becomes available
during AET's Services, Client will provide such information to AET in a timely manner. Failure of Client to timely notify AET of changes to the
project including, but not limited to, location, elevation, loading, or configuration of the structure or improvement will constitute a release of
any liability or indemnity obligations of AET for loss or damages related to such changes. Client will provide a representative for timely answers
to project-related questions by AET.
1.3 - AET is responsible only for performance of the Services. AET will not be held responsible for work or omissions by Client or any other party
working on the project. The Services do not include construction management, general contracting or surveying services. AET will not be
responsible for directing or supervising the work of other parties, unless specifically authorized and agreed to in writing.
1.4 – Client acknowledges the limitations inherent in sampling to characterize buried subsurface conditions. Variations in soil conditions occur
between and beyond sampled/tested locations. The passage of time, natural occurrences and direct or indirect human activities at the site or
distant from it may alter the actual conditions. Client assumes all risks associated with such variations in soil and subsurface conditions.
1.5 - AET is not responsible for interpretations or modifications of AET's recommendations by other persons.
1.6 - Should changed conditions be alleged, Client agrees to notify AET before evidence of alleged change is no longer accessible for evaluation.
1.7 – Pricing in the proposal assumes use of these terms and conditions. AET reserves the right to amend pricing if Client requests modifications
to the Agreement or use of Client’s alternate contract format. Any contract amendments made after Client has authorized the Services shall be
applicable only to Services performed after the effective date of such amendment. The proposal and these terms and conditions, including terms
of payment, shall apply to all Services performed prior to the effective date of such amendment.
1.8 - The AET proposal accompanying these terms and conditions is valid for ninety (90) days after the proposal issuance date to the Client. Any
attempt to authorize Services after the expiration date is subject to AET’s right to revise the proposal as necessary.
SECTION 2 - SITE ACCESS AND RESTORATION
2.1 - Client will furnish AET safe and legal site access.
2.2 Client acknowledges that in the normal course of its Services, AET may unavoidably alter existing site conditions or affect the environment in
the area being studied. AET will take reasonable precautions to minimize alterations to the site or existing materials. Restoration of the site is the
responsibility of the Client.
SECTION 3 - UNDERGROUND UTILITY AND STRUCTURE CLEARANCE
3.1 - Borings, excavations and other penetrations must be located at safe distances from underground utilities or other man-made objects. Client
shall advise AET of all utilities that service or are located on the site, and any underground improvements located on the site. Prior to drilling,
AET will contact state notification centers, where available, or individual utility owners where a state notification center is not available. AET shall
be entitled to rely on the location information provided by locating vendors.
3.2 – If Public utility owners do not provide the locating service on private property or the property owner has private underground improvements
which cannot be cleared through the state notification center or public utility owners, Client shall be responsible for location of such utilities prior
to drilling, or for payment of a private utility clearance subcontractor.
3.3 - AET will not be responsible for any damages to underground utilities/improvements not located or incorrectly identified by the foregoing
location methods.
SECTION 4 - CONTAMINATION
4.1 - Client acknowledges and accepts all contamination risks which may be associated with the Services. Risks include, but are not limited to,
cross contamination created by linking contaminated zones to uncontaminated zones during the drilling process; containment and proper
disposal of known or suspected hazardous materials, drill cuttings and drill fluids; and decontamination of equipment and disposal and
replacement of contaminated consumables. Discovery of actual or suspected hazardous materials shall entitle AET to take immediate measures
it deems necessary in its sole discretion, including regulatory notification, to protect human health and safety, and/or the environment. Further,
discovery of such materials constitutes a changed condition for which Client agrees to pay associated additional cost.
4.2 - Client shall indemnify and hold AET harmless from all liability, damages, claims or costs resulting from contaminants on the site.
SECTION 5 - SAFETY
5.1 - Client shall inform AET of any known or suspected hazardous materials or unsafe conditions at the site. If, during the course of AET's Services,

During the month of October, we visited over 1,350 students ages kindergarten through eighth grade. We also
visited multiple business in Chanhassen completing Fire Extinguisher training, HandsOnly CPR and AED
training, and onsite fire safety and emergency planning meetings. It is our pleasure to collaborate with these
community groups and businesses to help make their sites safer and provide this education and training to their
employees and members.
Fire and Business Inspections Highlights
Emerson completed their final occupancy inspections of a large remodel and addition project consisting of
multiple years’ worth of work. Chief Johnson and I were able to assist them with final alarm testing and
inspections outside of normal business hours to complete this project.
IWCO completed a large remodel of the office space and final alarm and sprinkler testing was completed to
allow them to take occupancy.
Several site inspections have taken place at Panera, The Venue/Aldi, and Riley Crossing Senior Living (fka
Mission Hills). All projects are in various stages of build and will take several months to complete.
Fire Inspections of Chanhassen businesses will be our next focus. We will be completing liquor license facilities,
gas stations, all Senior Living facilities, schools and daycares, hotels, apartment buildings, as well as focusing on
businesses that have had past fire code issues. The goal is to work with business and building owners to make
our community safer.

Subject Review Final Draft of 2040 Comprehensive Plan
Section OLD BUSINESS Item No: H.1.
Prepared By Kate Aanenson, AICP, Community
Development Director
File No: General 130
SUMMARY
Staff will review the latest changes made to the Comprehensive Plan and answer any questions that council members
have. No action is required at this time. Figure 26 Land Use Table in 5year Stages, Figure 28 20202040 Land
Use Comparisons, and Figure 210 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan incorporating the Erhart land use
amendment have been made. Additionally, the text revisions reviewed on September 24, 2018 have been made to the
Comprehensive Plan. All revisions are included in the online 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
This item will be brought back to City Council for approval of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and submittal to the
Metropolitan Council.
The local surface water management plan was reviewed and approved by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District
on September 13, 2018. All of the watershed districts have now reviewed and approved our plan. The surface water
management plan is incorporated as Chapter 9 of the Comprehensive Plan.
Mark Halla has withdrawn his family's request for a land use amendment on their properties south of Pioneer Trail on
either side of Highway 101.
Hard copies of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan were previously provided to each Council member.
BACKGROUND
The city began the process of updating the Comprehensive Plan in January of 2017. Throughout 2017, the city held
hearings at the Planning Commission and provided other engagement opportunities to gain input on the 2040
Comprehensive Plan. City Council was involved in several work sessions to review the Comprehensive Plan. The
draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan was submitted to other jurisdictions for their review and comment as well as to the
Metropolitan Council for preliminary review. The city has revised the Comprehensive Plan based on these reviews
and comments and brought them back for city review and action in 2018. The city’s local water management plan
also had to go through a separate review process and be reviewed and approved by all four watershed districts within
the community. (See attached 2040 City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan Schedule.)
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 17, 2018 (see attached Planning Commission minutes) and
voted 60 to recommend approval of the City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan and to submit it to the
Metropolitan Council for their review. This was the second public hearing held by the Planning Commission on the
Comprehensive Plan. The first public hearing was held on October 17, 2017.

revisions to the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan which staff has summarized in the attached report.
On September 24, 2018, city staff reviewed the text amendments resulting from City Council comments of August 13,
2018.
DISCUSSION
The Comprehensive Plan provides a guide for the city's vision of the community as it grows in the coming years. It
establishes goals and policies to provide residents, businesses, property owners, developers, and visitors a sense of
the community's values and aspirations.
There have been numerous opportunities for individuals to provide input on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan including
presentations at the Planning Commission, two public hearings, two open houses, two information stands at city events
(2017 4th of July Celebration and 2018 February Festival), newsletter articles, and links on the city's website. Here is
a link to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan: www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/2040compplan.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests that the City Council review the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the latest reviews proposed to the Plan, and
provide staff with any comments or direction prior to adoption.

PUBLIC HEARING:
2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – July 17, 2018
16
Aller: Second item before us tonight is the review of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This matter
has been before us throughout the year. We took it section by section. It’s been on the website
and there have been meetings where this has been discussed. The current form has been
provided and again is on the website for review. I don’t think it will take too long to move
through the sections and maybe highlight the sections and the purpose of this hearing is to again
take public comment on the matter before us and forward it to the City Council for final action.
So at this time we’ll take that matter up.
Generous: Thank you Chairman Aller, commissioners. As you stated we’ve had numerous
opportunities to review this plan. We’ve had at least 8 meetings in this chamber regarding it.
There were 2 open houses that the City had. We also went out to last year’s 4th of July
celebration. Had a little kiosk and the Feb Festival to try to get people’s comments and interest
in this document. The Comprehensive Plan provides a guide for the future development of the
city. We look at as the build out plan for the community. What the land uses would be
approximately and it provides the goals and policies to reaching that buildout. We anticipate that
we will be fully developed by 2040. The Comprehensive Plan contains 10 chapters. The first
one is an introduction which expresses the City’s vision for itself as well as we’ve incorporated
all the goals and policies from all the chapters in the Comprehensive Plan right up front so
people could know what our vision is and how we intend to get there. The second chapter is our
land use. There were some changes that were made based on comments that we received from
the review agencies. Down in the Minnesota River valley there are some wildlife refuges that
were shown as agricultural land uses. We’ve not re-guided them for parks and open spaces
which is what they really are and there’s no misunderstanding about what the future holds for
that. The City did also, we have a 1.9 acre parcel of land off of Powers Boulevard in the
northern part of the city that we’re preserving as permanent open space. People see it on the land
use plan as low density residential and they want to develop it for us and so we’re taking that out
also so. We do as part of the land use element there were 3 requests for land use amendments.
We provided all the information in the report from what they presented in our analysis. At the
present time we are not recommending that any of those amendments be adopted for the
individual properties. They would have an opportunity when they came in for development to
request either land use amendments or changes in the zoning and so we believe that would be the
appropriate time for that to happen. Again as part of our review of this we, our GIS system has
gotten better. We picked up 40 acres of land as part of our analysis. However we de-annexed 5
acres of that with Cathcart Park and that’s now in the city of Shorewood so that’s why some of
the numbers have changed. The total numbers have changed over time but it’s better geographic
information system analysis. As part of the housing plan we’ve looked at the, how the city’s
going to meet the diversity of housing that we have in here. We’ve done our analysis for the
multi-family land that say there is sufficient land available to meet Met Council targets for the
community to provide housing that is affordable or work force type housing. We also discuss
the different strategies that are involved in providing that type of opportunity and we
acknowledges when we would use those tools and when we would not use them. Natural
resources. The only change we had was about the solar, we clarified the goal on solar. We want
to provide the opportunity for people to do it and in fact our ordinance does permit it already so.
The City’s biggest thing is preserving our water resources and preservation of trees and
diversifying our tree canopy because the rule of not having any one species dominate our
Chanhassen Planning Commission – July 17, 2018
17
community because of insects coming in. Parks and trails. That we just adopted, it’s long term
the City’s need for facilities that people want and it provides analysis of initiatives that the City
will be undertaking in the future. Under transportation we had to expand that to show where the
freight is moving. Where the trucks are actually moving on that so we got that information from
Carver County as well as expansion of the light rail or the transit opportunities in the community.
We showed where the park and ride lots are. There’s only 2 in the city but there are some in
Chaska. Victoria’s looking at one and then Eden Prairie is the main hub for Southwest Transit.
We want to provide transportation, we went through all our deficient roadways in here. We have
a system classification that has a hierarchy of roadways and based on that hierarchy the city also
reviews it as part of any development to preserve it’s transportation capacities. The sewer
chapter looks at providing sewer to the community. Again we long term we believe that we can
service everyone and our plan shows that we can do it. We provide a staging plan. Our
preference is to use existing facilities rather than expanding new facilities but we show how they
can be expanded and what the sizes would generally be. It has a general staging plan. There are
several critical facilities that need to be constructed for the rest of the community to develop.
There’s several lift stations south of 212 that need to go in before we can develop the southern
part of the community. A water, we know that we need one more storage facility of
approximately a million gallons and then we’ll need 4 more wells and then we should be able to
supply sufficient water to service our buildout numbers. I should go back as part of the
transportation element we did make all our numbers consistent this time so that each chapter has
the same number. As part of our negotiations with the Met Council we were able to up our final
employment numbers by about 1,400 in 2040 so they agreed with our analysis and that the total
way we wanted to go but they were moving to show that we can accommodate that with our land
uses. Surface water management, I’ll have Vanessa talk to you on that. And then finally in
Chapter 10 is the capital improvements. That’s just a snapshot right now of what we would need
over the next 10 years to implement portions of the Comprehensive Plan.
Aanenson: If I may.
Aller: Yes Kate.
Aanenson: Planning Commission members. So our goal here tonight, because you’ve reviewed
each of these and then your most recently your April 3rd we went through all this so we had
jurisdictional comments which means we already had a public hearing on this whole document.
This is for anybody that may be listening. And then we got feedback from the Met Council and
all the other jurisdictions which would mean the DNR, surrounding communities, to making sure
we’re consistent and we had some of our graphics were a little bit truncated in the publication so
all those have been remedied and so this is the second public hearing, just incorporating those as
Mr. Generous has gone through. So the biggest component that we were still working through,
which was very complex is the four watershed districts. Making sure how with the new regs that
we’re aligned with all those so Vanessa’s been working very hard on making sure that’s all
consistent so that’s the biggest part of the public, we expect of the public hearing tonight. I
know Mr. Erhart’s here to still talk about the land use request that he has in place so I’m sure
he’ll comment during the public hearing process but I’d like to maybe give a little bit more time
to Vanessa just to explain too kind of how we worked or she worked to get all that through and
into the chapter for the surface water.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – July 17, 2018

Aller: Thank you and as an additional comment this is really a dual purpose chapter because for
our permitting we have to have this completed and we’ve been behind the 8 ball on that for a
little bit of a while now and so it’s great that we’re coming forward and we’re catching up with
all our requirements for the NPDES and other permits so please let us know what we’re doing in
Chapter 9.
Strong: Thank you. So as Kate mentioned this is a chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. It also
has it’s own rules and regulations under Minnesota Statute 103B and it’s own requirement for
review and comment which means I have to send this to the 4 watershed districts as well as Met
Council for approval. Since that time, after a 60 day comment period we received all of our
comments back from the watershed districts. They were all very positive in we received 3
approvals with conditions. Now these of course as you know conditions can be extensive but as
in Minnehaha Creek watershed district we received an incomplete and that was primarily
because their plan was actually approved while our’s was out for comment. There was an
overlap with that. At this point you know this version is not 30 percent bigger to have addressed
all of those comments. It might not look that way but each watershed organization kind of had
it’s own comments and requirements that must be included in the plan. The City wanted to take
on the role of being a single stop shop so in addition to just meeting state requirements we
absolutely must address everything the watershed district has asked for in order to take back that
regulatory role that would improve the development process for our residents and property
owners so some of these are specifically to allow us to have that role. The other issue of course
which is not something that necessarily is addressed by the watershed districts is we do have an
older infrastructure. We have a lot of ponds and a lot of pipe and how do we take care of that
and how do we maintain that when you know there, we have over 300 ponds. Over 500
wetlands. We have 12 lakes. We are a very water rich city and that’s a lot of benefit but it’s also
something you need to balance with wanting to be a very lean and responsible city so that was
another issue that we’ve kind of had to address on our own. So just to give you a surface view of
kind of what we covered in this update. This comment response update. So as I said each
watershed district had it’s own comments and requirements that must be addressed in the plan
and they must be included in the plan. Many of these requirements and most of them involve the
adoption of their strategies, standards, goals and capital improvement projects. A lot of this was
including their language verbatim. They’re reflected either in the plan narrative, policies or in
the implementation plan. Each watershed district did have it’s own unique focus. They are all
different and so they all have their own way of looking at ways that are important to them.
Lower Minnesota River, many of you might assume and it would be true that they focus a lot on
the river bluff standards. Unique and natural resources and features, native protection of
wetlands and native areas. The Carver County WMO really wanted more focus on education and
wetland and ground water protection. That was kind of their focus. Riley-Purgatory was very
technical focused as well as including research studies and standards in their specific technical
language that they want to make sure are included. Minnehaha Creek watershed district, their
new plan if you hadn’t had a chance to read it is very interesting and it’s a good read. They
really want to incorporate planning. They’re very progressive about planning now and wanting
to add value into the city’s planning process and where they can come in and best fit. Help best
assist the city and best work with the city. As well as then of course they were very focused on
understanding our inventories and what our procedures were for implementing our surface water
Chanhassen Planning Commission – July 17, 2018
19
management plan so, and then each one had it’s own capital improvement project and policies as
well and standards so that’s kind of the big overview of that additional 30 percent.
Aller: Great thank you. And so my follow up question would be, as a homeowner, a business
person or a developer when I come in where you use the term one stop shop. Just what would be
an overview of that process if I wanted to come in and do something with my property and it
involved this chapter?
Strong: So for example Control Concepts. When they were in here they would have to come in
through the City. They have to apply through the City. You know we are required to have our
own requirements but then they also then have to go through the watershed districts and that
process as well and so they’re running a dual process which seems burdensome to many people
and I can understand that so in the future they would just come to the city. They still have to
follow the same rules and requirements but they don’t have to go through two agencies to do that
now. They just go to one place.
Aller: Alright, and so if a homeowner or business person or a developer wants to know what our
guidance on that is they can come in and they look at this book now and they can see that, along
with that process these are the guidelines and our goals with regard to what we want to do.
Strong: Yep and the watershed districts will always be there as technical reference and also as a
resource as well. They’re not going anywhere and they’re still the…
Aller: Thank you. Any additional questions?
Aanenson: I was just going to add one more comment before you open up the public hearing.
So with the Comprehensive Plan there’s going to be some follow up implementation things so
you’ll be seeing some ordinance changes too and maybe some of the wetland buffers. It may be
some of the, yeah and surface water but there might be also too some in the code alignment too
so those will all require public hearings too so there’ll be plenty of opportunities to comment on
those too but as part of the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan we have a timeline to go through
to get some of those in place. Again going back to the one stop shop. We used to do it that way
and it’s burdensome for the developers and for residents when you’re bouncing between the two.
Especially if you have to place security. Often you have to place security in both places which is
very onerous, especially for homeowners so trying to reconcile that.
Aller: Okay, thank you. Commissioner Weick.
Weick: Are we open to questions about any of this? Can I ask?
Generous: Yes.
Aanenson: Sure.
Weick: And this is specific to Section 8 on water. I recall having good conversations about not
just being able to supply the amount of water that we think we need to supply but also incentive
Chanhassen Planning Commission – July 17, 2018
20
programs potentially to conserve and encourage homeowners to use less. Is this the, in the future
is this the appropriate document to start?
Aanenson: That’s correct and those will be some of the implementation strategies.
Weick: Yeah.
Aanenson: But they look at as part of you have to show what your, how much water are you
using. There’s reduction requirements so those will be some of the things. Right now we do
Water Wise. We have a tiered system on our utility so those will be some of the things that we
may be revisiting.
Weick: Okay, thank you.
Aller: And of course there’s crossover to just about every chapter here so we’ll be hitting that
with the education process as well and that’s required so, yes.
Strong: We do also address in the surface water re-evaluating our credit system to allow for
more of those opportunities as well because again our credit system for that type of thing is, was
written in 2006 so.
Weick: Thank you.
Aller: Okay. Nothing further from the commissioners at this point in time I’ll open up the
public hearing portion of this particular item. So any individual wishing to come forward and
speak either for or against or comment on the proposed 2040 plan. Seeing no one come forward
I’ll close the public hearing and remind all of you present and at home that these items can be
found on the city’s website for your review and that you can follow this item for action with the
City Council when it moves forward. I’ll entertain a motion.
Weick: I’ll propose a motion.
Aller: Thank you Commissioner Weick.
Weick: The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the
2040 Comprehensive Plan and submit the plan to the Metropolitan Council for their
determination of consistency with the Metropolitan System Plans.
Aller: I have a motion. Do I have a second?
Randall: Second.
Aller: I have a valid motion and a second. Any further discussion or comment?
Weick moved, Randall seconded that the Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends
that the City Council approve the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and submit the plan to the
Chanhassen Planning Commission – July 17, 2018
21
Metropolitan Council for their determination of consistency with the Metropolitan System
Plans. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0.
Aanenson: Chairman just for anybody that’s following this we will go at a work session at the
next City Council meeting which is August 13th. At that meeting we’ll go through the changes in
a little bit more detail and so then it will be on for a later date for the adoption so there’s an
opportunity for kind of a work session with the City Council.
Aller: Great, thank you.
GALPIN PROPERTY: PUD CONCEPT REVIEW.
Aller: Moving onto new business. We have the item for Galpin Property which is a PUD
concept review. Again the City Council and the City had a process in place back around 2012
which was modified to allow for this concept review type of process. You can come before the
administrative review on smaller different projects or for the larger projects like this one you
come before the Planning Commission to give a broader perspective and the developer receives
input and direction before making further decisions on how it’s going to move forward and the
Planning Commission prefers it to be a less formal process which allows for all of you to have
input at this type of concept hearing. With that we’ll go ahead and have the matter heard.
Aanenson: Thank you Chairman, members of the Planning Commission. This is a concept
review, PUD review. Applicant U.S. Homes doing business as Lennar. Again the work session
here, excuse me the conceptual review here tonight and then the City Council will review it on
August 13. As you stated the concept review is not a public hearing but is the intent to get public
comment because the goal for this is to allow the developer to hear the comments from the
residents in order to see how they want to advance the project. So with that I’ll give a little bit of
the background. So the property as was listed by Comerica Bank who is the trustee for the estate
of P.R. Nelson and Paisley Park Enterprises worked with a local broker and put this on the
market and Lennar was the property developer selected for the site. So what we’ve included
here is all of the property which is 188.58 acres and it is guided low density. Low density is the
in the city is the largest zoning district we have in the city. It’s about 32 percent of the city so
that’s a majority of the city. Within the low density district there’s a lot of different zoning
applications that you can use as long as it stays within the 1.2 to 4 units an acre. So that’s kind
of how we got to this point. So quite a frameworks that we looked at and when we sat down
with Lennar, when they introduced themselves as the developer of the property and I’m going to
kind of go through those framework issues on how we got to this proposed development. So the
park master plan which is currently in place, while it’s also been reiterated in the 2040
Comprehensive Plan it’s currently in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan so the park master plan
around and it’s intentions around Lake Ann certainly was a major factor in how the project got
laid out. The second is that there’s a Met Council sewer line that runs through it. It’s actually a
large interceptor line that runs through the property. There’s significant natural features.
Wetlands and in addition to that some forest, heavily forested areas which we’ll talk about and in
addition the county is working on the upgrade of Galpin Boulevard and there’s been
neighborhood meetings on that so all those factors come into play on how this property could be
developed. So the first thing I’d like to talk about is the park master plan. As you can see on this
MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Kate Aanenson, AICP, Community Development Director
DATE: September 24, 2018
SUBJ: 2040 Comprehensive Plan
BACKGROUND
At the work session on August 13, 2018, City Council provided direction for revisions to the
draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Prior to preparing the documents for approval for submittal to
the Metropolitan Council, staff is bringing back the proposed changes for review as well as
providing another opportunity to discuss the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
DISCUSSION
REVISIONS
City Council reviewed the 2040 Comprehensive Plan on August 13, 2018. Below is a summary
of the comments and staff’s proposed revisions. (Proposed revision in bold/strike-through
format):
Page 3, Chapter 1, Introduction, 2nd paragraph – include mention of the Landscape Arboretum as
one of the community amenities.
The visioning exercise summary showed that people live in Chanhassen for many reasons. The
small-town feel but being within an easy striking distance of big city amenities is important. The
parks, lakes, and trails with open space and recreational opportunities are important to people.
Chanhassen has community values that are family friendly, promote health, engaging, and close-
knit neighbors. It is kid friendly with strong schools and beautiful parks. It is a safe, neighborly
place to live with low crime rates. The downtown is attractive and walkable. There are many
housing choices and low taxes. Special attractions and community amenities such as the
Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, Chanhassen Library, Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Paisley
Park Museum, fishing, the February Festival and the 4th of July Celebration are available.
Page 4, Chapter 1, Introduction, section 1.2 Development – when referencing the downturn in
the housing market, add the year 2009 for complete reference.

The City of Chanhassen is defined by the Metropolitan Council as Emerging Suburban Edge
which is expected to plan for forecasted population growth at densities of at least 3-5 units per
acre for new development and redevelopment. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan anticipated a faster
rate of growth than what occurred. This was due to the downturn in the housing market in 2009.
The city estimates that by 2040 the city will be built out with a population of 37,100.
Page 8, Chapter 1, Introduction, section 1.7.2, Housing – policy encourages housing at upper
limit of density.
While density is given by a range in the Comprehensive Plan, tThe city shall encourage require
development at the upper end of within the density range given by the Comprehensive Plan.
Page 13, Chapter 1, Introduction, section 1.7.5, Transportation, policy Transit – economic and
effective provision of rail transit.
The city will support Federal, State, Metropolitan, and local efforts directed toward the
economic and effective provision of rail transit for the community.
Pages 23, 25, 26 and 29, Chapter 2, Land Use, Figure 2-4 Net Developable Residential Acreage
2020 – 2040; Figure 2-6, Land Use Table in 5-Year Stages; Figure 2-8 2020 – 2040 Land Use
Comparisons; and Figure 2-10, 2040 Land Use Map:
3.2 acres of the Erhardt property be re-guided from Residential – Low Density to Office. If the
City Council agrees, this change will be made to the Land Use Map and appropriate tables prior
to submittal to the Metropolitan Council for their review.
In addition, Mr. Erhardt had requested a dual guiding for Residential High Density use for the
entire 13.2 acres of land. However as we discuss as part of the Halla analysis, the city has a
sufficient amount of High Density Residential land to meet the current and futures need of the
city.
Existing: Residential Low Density
Proposed: Office
City Council
2040 Comprehensive Plan
September 24, 2018
Page 3
If the Erhardt land use amendment is approved, the Office land use would increase to 190 acres
and the Residential Low Density land use would decrease to 4,718 acres.
The proposed change to the Bluff Creek primary zone boundary is a Zoning Code amendment
and requires a separate public hearing before the Planning Commission and then a hearing before
City Council for approval. Staff will bring this change back to City Council as part of our City
Code revision process.
Page 36, Chapter 2, Land Use, section 2.13.6, Infill Development – Add discussion of residential
neighborhood development.
The maturation of the city has led to an increase in infill development especially in the
downtown core. In areas zoned commercial/industrial, B buildings that are no longer viable
or are obsolete are being redeveloped to meet the demands of the modern marketplace. In
areas zoned for residential uses, the availability of municipal services and market
conditions have led to parcels being subdivided, creating new homes and neighborhoods.
The City expects the amount of infill development to increase throughout the period
covered by this Comprehensive Plan as the City approaches full buildout. The city is in the
process of completing a downtown study/vision. The city anticipates that infill development
within the downtown core will create approximately 200 new dwelling units between 2020 and
2040. While this plan does not contemplate a land use change, it will examine the existing
market conditions and may make recommendations for uses and infrastructure improvements.

Minimal funding has been provided As of August 2018, nine million dollars have been
allocated by the State of Minnesota for this improvement. Additional funding will need to be
secured for the future improvements to the corridor. It is expected that state and local funds will
be needed to help finance the improvements.

LAND USE AMENDMENTS
In addition to the amendment discussed at the August 13, 2018 work session for the Erhardt
property, the Halla family requested that their property also be reviewed for a land use change
from Residential Low Density to Residential High Density. Since they did not appear at the
August 13, 2018 work session, staff has advised them that City Council would be holding a work
session on September 24, 2018 and they could attend that meeting.
The Planning Commission reviewed the land use map amendments at hearings on October 17,
2017 and July 17, 2018 and agreed with staff’s recommendation that the land use amendments
should not be approved.

Staff response to the Halla request:
Staff recommends denial of the requested land use amendments.
a. Based on the housing study in the 2040 Land Use Plan, the city has sufficient land guided for
high density.
1) With the completion of the Highway 61 Corridor Study, there is the potential to add
another 750 multi-family units between the mixed-use district and the high and medium
density districts.
2) The current guiding of the Gorra property (medium and high density) has the potential for
1,000 housing units.
b. There is the potential for up to 800 medium and high destiny housing units in the Avienda
Development that will take place over the next few years.
c. Based on the size of the subject properties, the low-density land use provides zoning districts
(PUD or RLM) that would allow for the creation of unique neighborhoods using varying lot
sizes.
d. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan calls this area long-term for the potential development
timeline. Even with the proposed reconstruction of Highway101 between County Road 61
and Pioneer Trail, there continues to be sufficient development capacity throughout the city
to meet housing demand.
e. The realignment of Highway 101 will require the acquisition of additional right-of-way. A
land use change may negatively affect the acquisition.
f. Should additional senior housing be provided in this location, there are significant public
safety costs that would be associated with this type of housing, including additional fire and
health services cost.
g. Multi-family housing should be located in closer proximity to service and commercial areas
to allow the residents easier access to such facilities.
h. Multi-family housing should be located with convenient access to transit facilities.
i. It appears premature to contemplate multi-family development in this area without the
provision of urban services and prior to the submittal of a development review application.
The property owners may apply for a Land Use Map Amendment through the normal
development review process. At that time, neighboring properties would be notified as part of
the public hearing process. To the north of the properties are Residential Large Lot single-family
home developments, Halla Great Plains Addition, and Lake Riley Woods. To the east of the golf
course is a Residential Large Lot single-family residential development, Deerbrook.

Hi Bob!
Thanks for getting back to me.
We have also had some developers propose some concepts for single family/multi family dwellings
but we liked Dan's proposal more because it brings higher value to us as land owners, higher tax
base to the city, and more open space overall.
Thanks for getting this into the packet.
Blessings,

CITY OT CHANHASSXI'I
Chanhasen is a Community for Life - Providing forToday and Planning forTomonow
MEMORANDUM
DATE: Septembet 17, 2078
TO: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM: Don Johnson, Fire Chief
SUBJ: lmpacts of Senior Housing
Attachment: Data Table Outlining Calls and Housing Type
A review of the current multifamily housing unit stock was completed in an attempt to project the
impacts of future projects involving multi-story, multi-family housing units. Currently the city has
approximately 977 units that lwill break into two main categories; Senior Housing and lndependent
Multi Family.
Although many of our apartment buildings are NOT specifically designated senior housing, a good
portion of the units are being rented, or in Powers Ridge Condos owned, by seniors. When you consider
the generational factors of the 'baby boomer' the city is beginning to deal with the impacts of a higher
percentage of aging population. These facilities also draw additional alarm calls as independent living
seniors are still cooking within these facilities and have a tendency to become forgetful of food in the
oven or on the stove top creating fire alarm calls.
The data sets reviewed included all of 2017 and Year to Date data from 2018 to include calls through
August of 2018. Despite no changes to the priority medical dispatching procedures, the fire
department's response to EMS calls continues to grow at a steady pace. To date, there has been 252
responses to EMS calls within the city. Fifty of those responses, or !9.8%, has been to senior housing
facilities within the city. Summerwood represents 50% of those runs. ln comparison, only 22 calls or
8.7% of fire department EMS responses this year were to the other apa rtment units combined. Beehive
Homes and Olive Eranch Estates have a higher percentage of calls to bed ratios based on the types of
residents housed in those facilities.
Currently the Mission Hills project is under construction and should parallel similar facilities such as
Summerwood. Mission Hills will have 134 units of 'age in place' multi-story, multifamily units. We can
expect to see similar response for service on EMS and Alarm calls for this site proportionate to what we
see at our other sites. Reviewing the data shows a trend that the fire department could expect calls to
Increase of 20%-30% of the total units available. ln this case, Mission Hills will add 134 units which could
result in 24-40 additional calls per year.

77OO I\4ARKET BOULEVARD. PO BOX 147 . CHANHASSEN . MINNESOTA 55317
ln project plans submitted for Avienda, the developer lists a total of 551 multi-story, multi-family units
to include 192 independent housing units with 369 Senior Housing Units. Overlaying current trending
information would support a projected 75-130 additional EMS runs based on current data. Those
numbers could climb depending on the number of advanced care or dementia care beds are included in
the 369.
It is important to consider that the prioritized medical response protocols have NOT changed within the
City. When duty crews are scheduled the department calls for EMS does increase slightly as there is NO
prioritization in place in regards to response. Review of duty crew calls only shows a slight increase of
EMs based on this response model. Chaska shows a much higher duty crew response to EMs calls
within the same set of protocol diameters meaning that the Chaska citizens tend to dial 911 for more
non-urgent medical needs than in Chanhassen.
Over the past few years, Ridgeview Ambulance has also increased the coverage provided to Chanhassen
to 20 hours per day. According to Ridgeview, the ambulance service area is seeing significant increases
in service calls throughout their region. This also leads to increased calls for fire service response as
fire/rescue is started when ambulances are out of the city. Between Chaska and Chanhassen, Ridgeview
is constantly backfilling the eastern end of the county due to call volumes of the two cities.
ln 2018, I am projecting over 850 calls for service for the Chanhassen Fire Department. With the
increased calls, we are also experiencing an increase of EMS type calls as a main call type. As a paid on
call fire department, the call volumes are starting to impact the recruitment/retentlon of firefighters as
staff are dealing with the stressors of the increased demands. With justthe current planned
construction we could see call volumes going over 1,000 in the next few years. Continuing to add this
type of housing stock without adding to public safety infrastructure i.e. fire/ems services, will continue
to adversely impact the Chanhassen Fire Department.
Many of these new projects are getting further and further south from the main fire station. ln respect
to response times, a planned review of fire department operations should occur to determine future
needs for expansion of the fire service accounting for the developments being planned. ln the 2013
Springsted Fire Study recommendations included expanded duty crew coverage and/or the construction
of a 3'd Fire Station in the south district to address call response times. These recommendations were
made prior to the currently proposed developments.

SUBJ: Comprehensive Plan Distribution
PROPOSED MOTION
"The Chanhassen City authorizes the distribution of the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan for
jurisdictional review on October 20,2077."
City Council approval requires a majority vote of City Council.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The city is required to update its Comprehensive Plan every ten years. As part of the update
process, the city must submit the draft Comprehensive Plan to all adjacent governmental units
for a review period of up to six months. Prior to distributing the Comprehensive Plan for
jurisdictional review, staff is presenting the draft elements to City Council for an initial review.
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan is an update of the existing 2030 Comprehensive Plan, rather than
a complete rewrite of the Plan. A plan update is considered complete when it includes the
elements required by statute and contains sufficient information for us to evaluate the following
three primary criteria:
. Conformance with metropolitan system plans.
. Consistency with adopted policy plans.
. Compatibility with plans of affected and adjacent jurisdictions.
The Comprehensive Plan consists of the following elements: Housing, Implementation, Land
Use, Natural Resources, Parks and Trails, Transportation, Sewer (Waste Water), Surface Water
and Water Supply.
Todd Gerhardt

City staff has attempted to garner resident comments of the plan through having a kiosk at the
July 3, 2017 City Center celebration. On September 13 and 14, 2017 staff held open houses at
the library and Recreation Center, respectively, to garner citizen input and provide information.
The city has established a web page, www.ci.chanhassen.rnn.us/2040compplan, to promote
dissemination of information regarding the draft2040 Comprehensive Plan.
During the 6 month review period the city will continue to seek input. This would include
community events such as Feb Festive.
Throughout the summer, staff has presented draft material to the Planning Commission on the
various chapters of the comprehensive plan. The Planning Commission will hold public hearings on
the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan on October 17,2017 and, if needed, November 21,2017.
Additional hearings will be held in the spring to address any jurisdictional comments or concerns.
Final city adoption of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan will take place in April or May of 2018.
2O4O COMPREHENSIVE PLAI\ CHAPTERS
Introduction
The introduction provides a general overview and framework for the City of Chanhassen
Comprehensive Plan.
Land Use
The land use plan identifies appropriate locations for all types of uses and provides for the
orderly expansion of municipal services through the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA)
phasing plan. The land use plan provides the framework for the way the land is used. The plan
deals with the following issues:
o Development influences on the city.
o The estimated consumption of land in five-year increments.
. Comparison of the 2030 Land Use Plan and the 2040 Land Use Plan (a separate sheet
reviews the list of proposed changes to the land use map).
o Discussion of each of the land use designations.
o There are three requested land use map amendments:
a. City initiated residential low density to parks and open space.
b. Halla (3 parcels) low density to high density residential.

future development areas. The plan deals with the following issues:
o Organized and cost-effective plan to extend water service to development areas of the
community.
o Plan is based on anticipated land use, population growth, anticipated growth corridors,
and estimated future water demand projections for 2020,2030,2040.
o Future needs for wells, storage and treatment facilities.
o Maintenance and upkeep of the existing water infrastructure.
o Capital Improvements Plan.
o Identifies issues and actions to address them as part of the local comprehensive plan.
Water conservation and reuse, protection of source and sub-regional collaboration.
Surface Water
The City of Chanhassen manages its lakes, streams, and wetlands through its Local Stormwater
Management Plan (LWMP) and in partnership with four Watershed Management Organizations
(WMO): the Carver County WMO, Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek, Minnehaha Creek, and the
Lower Minnesota River Watershed Districts. The LWMP identifies areas of focus during the
period 2018-2027, providing a guide to projects and programs to protect and improve these water
resources.
Parts of the city drain to either Lake Minnewashta or Christmas Lake and then to Lake
Minnetonka. The rest of the city drains to the Minnesota River. There are 9 major lakes in
Chanhassen,2 natural system lakes and hundreds of smaller ponds and wetlands including the
Seminary Fen. Bluff Creek is the longest stream in the city, flowing just over 7 miles southeast
to Rice Lake in the Minnesota River floodplain. The headwaters of Riley Creek is Lake Ann.
From the lake's outlet Riley Creek flows southeast through Lake Susan, Rice Marsh Lake, and
Riley Lake, then outlets that lake and flows to the Minnesota River. Assumption Creek, located
in the Minnesota River Valley, is a DNR-designated trout stream. Where known, the LWMP
includes information about the water quality in these lakes and streams, and the steps the city and
WMOs are taking to manage them.
Included in the LWMP is an update to the city's storm drainage models. These models break the
drainage system down into ten subwatersheds, and model the network of storm sewers, channels,
ponds, and wetlands that store and convey rainwater and snowmelt. These models can be used to
ensure pipes and ponds are of sufficient size and to predict where flooding might occur during
large rainstorrns.

Discussion
A number of water resources-related problems, issues, and requirements were identified in this
planning process. These include:
o The reissue of the State of Minnesota's NPDES General Stormwater Permit in 2013
requires local govemments such as Chanhassen to adopt and enforce standards and
ordinances for development and redevelopment which limits stormwater runoff from sites
over one acre in size.
o New or expanded maintenance and administrative responsibilities are required in the
NPDES permit to control runoff and protect and improve water quality from city owned
or maintained land.
o All4 WMO's are updating their 10 year Comprehensive Plans. The city is required to
amend their LWMP to be consistent with each WMO.
o In order to maintain and/or obtain primary responsibility for managing local water
resources additional ordinance revisions are required. The alternative is to defer the
authority to the local WMO.
o Some of the lakes and streams in the city do not meet the state's water quality standards
for recreation and aquatic life.
o Stream gullies and escarpments are contributing excess sediment into Bluff Creek and the
Minnesota River.
To address these issues, the LWMP sets forth six goals as well as policies and action steps it
proposes to take. The LWMP's Implementation Plan includes capital improvement projects, city-
conducted as well as partnership projects with the WMOs and other partners; management
programs such as education and outreach and water quality monitoring; operations and
maintenance activities such as street sweeping, stormwater system inspections and repairs, road
salt management and staff training; and ordinance revisions. While the LWMP is a ten-year plan,
the Implementation Plan is reviewed annually, and new projects and programs may be added as
more information is available and as opportunities arise.
Goal l. Promote abstraction through infiltration, reuse and other methods where practicable
to do so to provide flood protection, ground water recharge and improved water
quality.
Goal 2. Achieve water quality standards in lakes, streams, and wetlands consistent with their
designated uses and established classifications.
Goal 3. Protect and rehabilitate wetlands to maintain or improve their function and value.
Goal 4. Prevent contamination of the aquifers and promote groundwater recharge to maintain
base flows in streams and wetlands.
Goal 5. Maintain primary responsibility for managing water resources at the local level where
efficient to do so but continue coordination and cooperation with other agencies and
organizations.
Goal 6. Provide infbrmation and educational resources to improve knowledge and promote an
active public role in management of water resources.

The Surface Water Management Plan is referenced in the Comprehensive Plan but will be a
separate document tracking with the Comprehensive Plan. Because of the technical nature of the
plan, and the review requirements for adopting it has been separated from body of the 2040 plan.
Capital Improvements and Implementation
This chapter details city code amendments and initiatives that the city must undertake to
implement the comprehensive plan. Additionally, a copy of the city's Capital Improvement Plan
required for facilities improvements has been included in the chapter.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests that City Council review the chapters and provide comments and direction for any
changes to the chapters. Staff requests that City Council authorize the distribution of the draft
2040 Comprehensive Plan for jurisdictional review after the initial public hearing held by the
Planning Commission on October 17,2017.

City Council approved the Plan for jurisdictional review on October 9,2017. The Plan is being
distributed to other jurisdictions on October 20,2017 and the comment period is open until April
20,2018 for jurisdictional review. Following that date, the Planning Commission will review
the Plan based on comments received during the review period, jurisdiction comments, the city's
written responses to any comments and make a recommendation to City Council for adoption of
the Plan. City Council can then approve the Plan contingent upon submitting the Plan to the
Metropolitan Council for their review and finding the plan consistent with the Metropolitan
System Plans. Only after the Metropolitan Council finds the plan consistent with the regional
plan can the city's 2040 Comprehensive Plan go into effect.

DISCUSSION
INTRODUCTION
The introduction provides a general overview and framework for the City of Chanhassen
Comprehensive Plan. This chapter addresses the city's vision as it moves forward.
LAND USE
The goal of the city is to create a mixture of land uses that provides a high quality of life and a
reliable tax base. We have a very successful downtown and there is additional opportunity for
retail with the potential development of a mixed use development at Highway 212 and Powers
Boulevard as well as part of the mixed used development at Flying Cloud Drive and Highway
101, which was re-guided in 2015 as part of the CSAH 61 corridor study. Based on staff
analysis, there is a sufficient diversity of residential land uses to accommodate housing growth in
the community.

Map Amendments
The city has received two requests for consideration of designated land use as a part of the
update to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Staff is also proposing one land use amendment.
1. Request from Erhart Family
Tim and Diane Erhart are requesting two issues. One is removal of an area from the Bluff Creek
Overlay District, approximately 3.2 acres which is currently guided low density. The second
request is for a dual guiding of the property for High Density Residential and Office. Following
is analysis for your consideration.
Amendment Request as prepared by Tim Erhart:
After.further consideration in addition to our recent request to modify the Bluff Creek Overlay
District Map as it relates to land east of Powers Blvd we additionally request a change to type of
use permitted. We request that the area adjacent to Powers Blvd be dual guided. Curuently the
area is guided ffice/industrial only. We believe that an alternative good use would be high
density residential. The area is well served by the nearby TH #212 intersection, accessed via
Powers Blvd. We understand that a bus station will be constructed in the immediate area as well.
A residential use would allow residents use of the extensive trail system (planned) in the area as
well as convenient access to Fox Woods Preserve. Moreover, residents would have access to
Bandimere Park by a nature trail. We also believe that ffices would also allow use of the
outdoor activity provided however it could be that high density residential may even provide
more opportunities.for people to enjoy.
History of the site:
. Bluff Creek Overlay District created in 1998 (See attached Overlay District code)
o 3 acres re-guided with the 200B Comprehensive Plan.from Low Density to Olfice
o Land use amendment to allow 7 additional acres medical ffice.o A medical ffice plan was given site plan approval in 2009 but was never constructed.

Remove Erhart Property from Bluff Creek Overlay District.
Purpose of First Request:
The Introductory sentence of the BCOD refers to the Bluff Creek Watershed Area. Starting with
the second sentence and all references thereafter the term Bluff Creek corridor is employed. IT is
clearfrom a reading of the BCOD ordinance that the intent is to apply development restrictions
to " land areas abutting and in the vicinity of the (Bluff Creek) watercourse and its tributaries "
(sec. 20-1552). To emphasize thefocus on proximity, the word corridor is usedfour times in the
Purposes section of the ordinance. The Ordinance also purposed to "Foster the creation of a
greenway connecting Lake Minnewashta Regional park and the Minnesota River Valley". In
addition, other sentences are included that clearly indicated that this ordinance was intended to
be applied to the corridor (and some cases a tributary) but not all lands in the Bluff Creek
watershed or lands at a distance from Bluff Creek.
The Blulf Creek watercourse lies nearly one quarter mile from the nearest point of our property,
which demonstrates that our property is not "in the vicinity of Bluff Creek". Second, a four lane
highway (Powers Blvd) separates our property from the Bluff Creek Corridor. Third, there are
no tributaries of Bluff Creek on our property. Infact, there are not tributaries east of Powers
Blvd. All water leaving the area east of Powers Blvd flows through pipes and road ditches, all
man-made devices.
Conclusion:
Having our land included in the BCOD is inconsistent with the stated purpose and intent of
BCOD and therefore is a misapplication of the ordinance. Therefore, we request that our land be
removedfrom the BCOD.
Second Request:
If the city cannot agree to remove our landfrom the BCOD then:
l. Adjust the Primary Zone line to a position where one can clearly distinguish why the line
would be placed in such a location. In other words, there would be one or more features
of the land that dffirentiate one side of the line from the other side. This is in contrast to
the arbitrary location of the line as it is now and where no one can dffirentiate one side
from the other.
2. Adjust the BCOD boundary lines such that only those areas with permanent natural
features such as bhfrt, wetlands, and buffers between conflicting land uses are included
within the primary and secondary zone.
3. Guide the entire I2.7 acres within the proposed BCOD limits illustrated on the maps to
ffice, industrial or institutional use.
4. Guide the 1.8 acres directly south of New Street for public use and relocated storm pond.
Planning Commission
October 17,2017
2040 Comprehensive Plan
Page 5 of20
Purpose of Second Request:
l. Amending the curuent plan and BCOD limits will allow the best use of the 12.7 acre area
site (titled Fox Office Campus). Its location and direct access to the TH# 212/Powers
Blvd interchange makes this area ideal.for ffice, industrial, or institutional use.
2. Convert the 3.2 acre area currently guided residential to ffice, industrial or institutional
use as tltis area can only be accessed through the area already guidedfor such use.
3. Retain the existing natural area (NM pond and north/south wooded hiQ which serves as
a buffer berween.future residential development to the east and the planned ffice park to
the west.
4. Maintain the existing (private) trail connection between a.future trail head at New Street
(see map) and Fox Woods Preserve. This trail runs through the center of the wooded
buffer area. Once development occurs this trail will be designated.for public use.
5. Provide spacefor communityfacilities including a trail head and trail head parking at
Powers Blvd directly south of New Street.
6. Allow space for the relocation of the existing storm pond to the south side of the New
Street (mop).
7. Provide space for a planned lift station intended to serve the area south of Pioneer Trial
8. Provide parking and service access to the lift station's stationary equipment.
Bluff Creek Overlay District
Knowing where to apply the development restriction of the Bluff Creek Overlay District
Ordinance (BCOD) to d property depends primarily on what is included in the Primary and
Secondary Zone and what is noL The ordinance is then applied to all areas of property which lie
within those zones. This specifically determines how the property within the BCOD can be used,
what areas are "undevelopable" vs. "developable", what value the property is to the current
owner and future users, and what tax generation capacity will result.for the city when developed.
Which such significant impact, it is critical that the boundary be laid down with great care and
thoughtfulness and witlt some sense of consistency based on other similar lands within the city.
Most importantly, there must be scientific analysis applied (inferued but not described in the
ordinance) to objectively determine the boundaries of the BCOD.
At the time the BCOD ordinance was adopted, the Primary Zone boundary was established
generally through the use of aerial photographs as no "on the ground" survey and/or data was
available.for scientifically determining the limits of the zone. The intent (Section 20-1555
Boundary delineation) was that as properties come up.for development the landowner was to
provide.field data to assist the city in making a determination of the line's.final location.
Wile this process seeflN to be well intended, the ordinance, while describing the kind qf data
requested, is basically silent on how to use the data to establish the actual location of the
delineating line (the one exception is sec 20-1551 which deals with slopes specifically stating
that area exceeding 25o% slope should be preserved). No additional guidance or process is given
that would allow one or more individuals, by applying the ordinance's guidelines, to make
Planning Commission
October 17,2017
2040 Comprehensive Plan
Page 6 of20
similar and consistent determinations of the boundary line's location. It is our view that it should
be inherent in any standard that two reasonably experienced people applying the same standard
would come up with essentially the same conclusion. This is hardly the case with the BCOD.
As a result, this lack of definition leaves it up to the sole discretion of the city staffas to where
the BCOD is established. This arbitrary process could lead to many substantial disagreement, as
I believe it has in the past.
We submit that there must be some "standard" established, which when applied results in a
consistent determination as to the location of the BCOD boundary lines. It is also our view that
the primary criteria for determining this boundary should be permanent features such as
topography and existing wetlands rather than plant cover, a.fence or the edge of afield. Nor
should it be based on an existing road or previous use such as agriculture or a building site.
These things are most often created by human activity and change over time. Moreover,
employing tree coverage is problemotic as it also changes over time and penalizes the landowner
who cultivates the property for agricultural production would be able to freely develop the
property as there would be no tree cover due to his actions (and subsequently no BCOD). I
believe this is unfair and contrary to the spirit of the ordinance. That said, where existing tree
cover combine with a specific typographic.feature forms q buffer between two conflicting land
uses, tree cover may be considered afactor in establishing the line's location. Trees simply by
themselves are not a reason to include land in the Bluff Creek Overlay District. Typography and
wetlands are much more permanent land features and better define what an appropriate use of
the land is for generations to come.
Use of topography and wetlands allow for more obvious and conclusive locations of such
boundaries. Areas where level or gently slope abruptly change to a steep and prolonged slope
are obvious points of separation and should be applied as logical boundary lines as city
ordinances are already established such definitions in code.

Wetland boundaries are established easily through surveying, something that is already required
of every development and should be used to establish boundary line locations as well.
We submit that these two criteria (extensive slopes and wetlands) should be the dominant factors
used to establish the boundary line locations Jbr this application of the BCOD. Neither the
original location of the primary line (generated by aerial photos) nor the adjusted line (Fairview

Clinic project) demonstrate any topographic or wetland features that would distinguish one side
.from the other. We therefore submit a proposed new location (described on the enclosed maps
and below) which demonstrates and obvious locationfor the Primary Zone boundary. This
location clearly exhibits a natural boundary condition where measureable difference exists
between what is "inside" tlte primary zone and what is "outside".
This proposed line is located where terrain changes abruptlyfrom a rolling terrain to a steep
extended slope.

Conclusion Regarding Request Number Two:
1. The area in question lies directly adjacent to the Interstate 212/Powers Blvd interchange
which includes excellent access to the intersection. The area also exhibits great view
.from the east bound trffic on TH 21. This makes the area ideally suitedfor ffice or
industrial or institutional use.
2. It provides a beautiful settingfor users as they are surrounded on three sides by park
land.
3. We believe the current BCOD boundary line shown on the current city mapping.for the
area is unscientific and arbitrary and should be revised to comply with some reasonable
standard or at least exhibit obviousness as to why it is located where it is.
Planning Commission

4. The 3.2 acre area now guided residential is adjacent to the 9.5 acres guided
ffice/industrial. The only access to the 3.2 acre area is through the 9.5 acre area and in
our view should be guidedfor ffice/industrial and/or institutional as well. Moreover, the
area is rather noisy due to trffic from TH# 212 making it undesirable for residential use.
5. The 3.2 acres identified on the enclosed map represents an ideal locationfor a multi-
story ffice building and its required parking area. It adjoins the 9.5 acre parcel guided
ffice/industrial and offers a unique site line from eastbound TH 212 traffic.
6. Allows the construction of o/fice space similar in size to Fairview but movedfurther to
the north and east. This provides for greater separation of uses between the large lot
residential area to the south. This movement also eliminates the requirement for removal
of part of the steep hill which would also then require tlte construction of a long I 2ft high
retaining wall (included in the Fairview plan). Lastly it also eliminates the need to build
a parking ramp as approved with the Fairview site as adequate spacefor surface parking
is made available with the addition of the 3.2 acres.
7. The t.8 acres south of the new street would be used for the trail head leading to Fox
Woods Preserve, trail head parking, the relocation of the existing storm pond and a
planned sewer lift station. The proposed trail head parking can also serve as access to
the lift station.
8. It appears that curuently the city intends to use this 3.2 acres as additional park land
rather than use the landfor its best suited purpose. Even without the 3.2 acres in
question, approximately 52.5%o of the 360 acres located in the vicinity is already
designated as open space and is intended to be used by the public as park or wetland.
Addition another 3.2 acres of highly developable and potentially tax generating property
to an already expansive natural area will add little noticeable value.
9. The plan shown includes a trail connection to Fox Preserve at two points, startingfrom
the trail head at New Street. This route is completely wooded and overlooks the.five acre
Rim pond to the east and is screened by threes from the proposed ffice and parking area
to the west. It also contains a smaller pond between the "Y" of the trail on the north end.
The development of the 3.2 acres as ffice/industrial will have no negative impact on this
trail connection and its amenities. Infact, such a development can easily include internal
connections to the Fox Preserve and area trail system. Including the 3.2 acres as park
does not in any way add to the already great experience that this trail provides.
10. Lastly the majority of the 3.2 acre area in question is currently usedfor agriculture as is
a majority of the 9.7 acres already guided ffice/industrial. This allows easy transition
.from the curuent use to o.fJice, industrial or institutional use.

Designation:
As can be seen, this area contributes to Bluff Creek. At one time, this area drained overland to
Bluff Creek. With urban development, the drainage has been confined in certain areas to pipes
and culverts.
The drainage pattern on top of the bluff takes local drainage and directs it west towards Powers
Boulevard. It also serves as the EOF for the large water body immediately east of the wooded
area. Lastly, there is a mitigation area located northerly on the property.

Part of the discussion should be about the effects of urbanization on channel characteristics and
flow hydraulics. As the area tributary to Bluff Creek is converted from prairie and woodland
conditions to urbanized conditions, the following occurs:
t. Base flow is decreased which leads to a failure to support aquatic vertebrates.
2.The flashiness of the flows increase as water is directed to the creek faster than under natural
conditions.
3. The duration of the elevated flows is increased. Even with the installation of detention ponds,
it still leads to a longer duration of peak flows even if the peak flow is decreased from an
urbanized condition without ponds.
4. All of this leads to increased scouring, head cutting, escarpment formation and sediment
loading and deposition.
5. This increased sediment load falls out of suspension downstream and leads to an embedded
condition meaning there is a diminished fish habitat as the small riffles formed in the cobbled
substrate disappear. This also leads to an increase in water temperature and a decrease in
transitivity of light and reduced plant and plankton production.
It is for this reason that we look at the entire watershed and not just that which is immediately
adjacent to Bluff Creek.
To facilitate the preservation of the natural resources on this property, the city proposed the
dedication of a conservation easement over the primary zone north of the proposed access road
and east of the office building.

City code specifies how the primary zone boundary is determined:
Section 20-1555 O)
Boundaries; maps. The primary and secondary zones include land that is generally defined in
this ordinance and in the Bluff Creek Watershed Natural Resources Management Plan.
Boundaries as established by officially adopted city maps shall be prima facie evidence of the
location and type of watershed zone. The official maps shall be developed and maintained by the
planning department. The applicant shall provide appropriate technical information, including
but not limited to a topographical survey, flora and fauna survey and soil data deemed necessary
for the city to determine the exact watershed zone boundary. The community development
director shall make a determination to maintain the officially designated watershed zone
boundary or if the boundaries need to be corrected on city plans and maps based upon the data
that is supplied. Datafor watershed zone delineation shall be generated and provided by a
qualified professional specializing in watershed management, environmental science or other
related profession. The applicant may appeal the community development director's
determination of the watershed zone boundary and type to the city council.

NATURAL RESOURCES
The natural resources section identifies the important environmental amenities and attributes in
the city and their corresponding issues. The main goals encompass identifying and preserving
naturairesources, and increasing overall tree cover and maintaining the urban forest. Proper
management of public natural resources is the overarching issue and critical to the success of
Chanhassen retaining it's natural resources identity.
This chapter of the plan addresses natural communities including forestry and water resources.
The following issues are addressed:
o Creation of a management plan for lands that have been acquired by the city.
o Create an inventory of the natural resources.
o The commitment of the city to preserve the city's natural resources; woodlands, wetlands,
lakes, rivers and streams.
o Consider adoption of GreenStep Cities initiative.
PARK & RECREATION
At the September ll,2017 City Council meeting, the Parks and Recreation System Plan was
presented. The Park and Recreation chapter deals with the following issues:
o Current park system.
o Additional parks that will need to be acquired in still developing areas.
o Additional community ball field space that will need to be acquired to meet demands of
future growth.
o Our pedestrian trail and sidewalk

The park and Recreation chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan provides an overview and an
analysis of the city's existing system. It identifies objectives and policies that will guide park and
recreation decision making ttrough the year 2040 as well as identifying key initiatives that will
be completed to enhance the current park and trail systems.
Planning Commission
October 17,2017
2040 Comprehensive Plan
Page 17 of20
In our community, we have numerous non-city recreational facilities that play an integral role in
fulfilling residents' recreational needs. Minnewashta Regional Park, the Minnesota Landscape
Arboretum, the Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge, Raguet Wildlife Management Area, golf
courses and Camp Tanadoona are all important recreation destinations. Two regional trails
owned by the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority and managed primarily by Three
Rivers Park District can be found in both the southem and northern tiers of the city. In addition,
regional trails are located along State Highway l0l and State Highway 5.
TRANSPORTATION
The transportation chapter is based on the city's 2040 Land Use. Updates to these plans recognize
changes in land use, development patterns and other planning processes including: the Minnesota
Department of Transportation's "Transportation System Plan 2008 - 2030" (TSP), Carver
County's Transportation Plan 2017 Update, and the Metropolitan Council's Transportation
System Framework.
o The Plan shows how the city will achieve its goal of creating an integrated multi-modal
transportation system which permits safe, efficient and effective movement of people
and goods while supporting the city's development plans, and complementing the
county, metropolitan, and state transportation systems that are within its boundaries.o Addresses existing and projected system deficiencies in the city's roadway network.o Establishes a functional roadway classification system for the roads within the
community.
o Discusses existing and future improvements and funding mechanisms for the
construction of transportation improvements.o Includes a table allocating forecasted population, household, and employment growth by
TAZ for 2020,2030 and 2040.
o Includes a map of existing and forecasted2}4} traffic volumes.
o Identifies existing transit routes and services.
o Incorporate transportation goals, objectives, and strategies outlined in the 2040
Transportation Policy Plan.
SANITARY SEWER
The sanitary sewer plan presents the existing sanitary infrastructure and the general location and
size of future sanitary sewer infrastructure under fully-developed conditions. The Sanitary Sewer
Comprehensive plan covers the future extensions of municipal service to future development
areas. The plan deals with the following issues:
o Organized and cost-effective plan to extend sewer service to development areas of the
community.
o Plan is based on anticipated land use, population growth and anticipated growth
corridors.
Planning Commission
October ll,2017
2040 Comprehensive Plan
Page 18 of20
o Maintenance and upkeep of the existing sanitary sewer infrastructure.
o Reduction efforts for Inflow and lnfiltration.
o Capital lmprovements Plan.
The city has determined that all of Chanhassen will be included in our 2020 MUSA area. A list
of strategic infrastructure improvements and sequencing has been developed necessary to install
the infrastructure. There is a significant city investment required to extend urban services and
there is a need to expand the service area that may connect to the system in a timely manner.
Additionally, there are failing septic systems that should be replaced with a centralized sewer
system. A lift station on the Powers Boulevard south of Highway 212 and forcemain from this
lift station along the Highway 212 corridor are identified as the key infrastructure improvement
for all the land south of Highway 212.
WATER
The Comprehensive Water Plan identifies the existing trunk and lateral watermain and wells
within the city. The general alignment and size of future trunk watermain and the general
location of future well sites and future water towers is also shown. The Water Comprehensive
plan covers the existing and future extensions of municipal service to future development areas.
The plan deals with the following issues:
o Organized and cost-effective plan to extend water service to development areas of the
community.
o Plan is based on anticipated land use, population growth, anticipated growth corridors,
and estimated future water demand projections for 2020,2030,2040.
o Future needs for wells, storage and treatment facilities.
o Maintenance and upkeep of the existing water infrastructure.
o Capital Improvements Plan.
o Identifies issues and actions to address water conservation and reuse, protection ofsource and
sub-regional collaboration as part of the local comprehensive plan.
SURFACE WATER
The Local Water Management Plan (LWMP) was prepared in conformance with Minnesota
Statutes 1038.235 and Minnesota Rules 8410. This plan is intended to provide the City of
Chanhassen with information and direction in the administration and implementation of water
resource management activities within the city during the period 2018-2027. It serves as a guide
to projects, provides for effective allocation of resources, and sets forth a funding plan for
projects and programs over the next 5 to 10 years.
The City of Chanhassen realizes the importance of water resource management. In August of
2006 the city adopted the Second Generation Surface Water Management Plan. The LWMP is
currently in the process of being amended and updated and is anticipated to be sent out for
Planning Commission
October 17,2017
2040 Comprehensive Plan
Page l9 of20
review to appropriate jurisdiction by January 2018. The LWMP must follow a separate and
mandatory review process pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 1038.235 and Minnesota Rules 8410.
The city's Plan will adopt by reference the local 2018 - 2027 surface water management plan
(LWMP) and will incorporate the 6 water resource goals as specified in the LWMP.
Goal 1. Promote abstraction through infiltration, reuse and other methods where practicable to
do so to provide flood protection, ground water recharge and improved water quality.
Goal 2. Achieve water quality standards in lakes, streams, and wetlands consistent with their
designated uses and established classifi cations.
Goal3. Protect and rehabilitate wetlands to maintain or improve their function and value.
Goal4. Prevent contamination of the aquifers and promote groundwater recharge to maintain
base flows in streams and wetlands.
Goal5. Maintain primary responsibility for managing water resources at the local level where
efficient to do so but continue coordination and cooperation with other agencies and
organizations.
Goal6. Provide information and educational resources to improve knowledge and promote an
active public role in management of water resources.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS /IMPLEMENTATION
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Implementation Chapter provides a systematic
assessment of the timing and magnitude of improvements that will be required to implement the
comprehensive plan. Staff has included portions of the 2017-2021CIP. However, detailed
descriptions of the potential projects are not appropriate within the Comprehensive Plan since
they are dealt with in the city's five-year CIP.
The individual chapters describe the proposed improvements. The city annually prepares a five-
year CIP, which goes into great detail about a specific project. That document has greater
accuracy and more detail then is appropriate in a comprehensive plan.
The chapter also list required amendments, code revisions and initiatives that the city will need
to undertake to implement the Plan.

LAND USE (ChaPter 2)
The goal of the city is to create a mixture of land uses that provides a high quality of life and a
reliable tax base. we have a very successful downtown and there is additional opportunity for
retail with the development of Aviendaat Highw ay 212-and Powers Boulevard as well as part of
the mixed used development at Flying CtouObrivl and Highway l!1'.which was re-guided in
2015 as part of the csAH 61 corridor study. Based on.staff analysis' there is a sufficient
diversity of residential land uses to accommodate housing growth in the community' In response
to jurisdictlorrut co**ents, the city has re-guided some agricultural lands to Parks and Open

The Planning Commission reviewed two land requests for land use changes at their April 17,2017 as part of the Comprehensive Plan public hiaring. The Commission asked staff to meetwith Mr. Erhart to review his request. On June 7,2017 the Community Development Director,City Forester, Park, and Recreation Director meet on the subject site with Mr. irhart.The2040 Comprehensive Plan calls this area long-term for tle potential development time line.Even with the proposed reconstruction of Hwy 101 between County Road 6l and pioneer Trailthere continues to be sufficient development capacity.
Conclusion and Recommendation
Staffs response to requests
1. Erhart requests: is removal of an areafrom the BluffCreek Overlay District, approximately
3'2 acres that is currently gaided low density. The second request isfor a dual guiding o1ihepropertyfor High Density Residential and Office.
a. Taking 3.2 acte out of the overlay district is premature as with the recent Avienda
request. The Riley Purgatory Watershed District supported the presavation Overlay
District by making it a condition of approval for wetland impacts.b' The plan proposed by the Earhart's shows smaller building, li-itirrg the grading and
preserving trees. Once the land use is changed, it would be up to G developer to as
to how the site is used. It could be mass graded with significant tree loss and grading

Original request from Mr. Erhart:
Introduction
Thanks for taking the time to discuss our request to reexamine and update the Bluff Creek
Overlay District (BCOD) ordinance mapping as it applies to our property in south Chanhassen.
The specific area of concem is the approximate 20 acres adjacenitoihe south east quadrant of
the TH #212 andPowers Boulevard interchange.
To assist with the discussion, we have prepared several maps one of which shows the general
area bordered by Powers Blvd to the west, Lake Riley to the east, Lyman Blvd to the North andw 96th St. (extended) in the south. This area consists of approximatlty:OO acres. Two detailed
maps are also enclosed which focus on 20+ acre areawhere the BCOD applies.
First Request: Rernove Erhart Property from Bluff creek overlay District.
Purpose of First Request:
The lntroductory sentence of the BCOD refers to the BluffCreek Watershed Area. Starting with
the second sentence and all references thereafter the term Bluff Creek corridor is ernployea. lf i,
clear from a reading of the BCOD ordinance that the intent is to apply development restrictions
to "land areas abutting and in the vicinity of the (Bluff Creek) watercou.r" und its tributaries,,
(sec. 20-1552). To emphasize the focus on proximity, the word corridor is used four times in the
Purposes section of the ordinance. The Ordinance also purposed to "Foster the creation of a
greenway connecting Lake Minnewashta Regional park and the Minnesota River Valley',. In
addition, other sentences are included that clearly indicated that this ordinance was intended to
be applied to the corridor (and some cases a tributary) but not all lands in the BluffCreek
watershed or lands at a distance from BluffCreek.
The Bluff Creek watercourse lies nearly one quarter mile from the nearest point of our property,
which demonstrates that our property is not "in the vicinity of Bluff Creeki. Second, a
-foui
tane
highway (Powers Blvd) separates our property from the BiuffCreek Corridor. Third, there are no

tributaries of Bluff creek on our property. In fact, there are not tributaries east of Powers Blvd.
All water leaving the area east of Pow"rt glrd flows through pipes and road ditches' all man-
made devices.
Conclusion:
Having our land included in the BCOD is inconsistent with the stated purpose and intent of
BCOD and therefore is a misapplication of the ordinance. Therefore, we request that our land be
removed from the BCOD.
Second Request: If the city cannot agreeto remove our land from the BCOD then:
l. Adjust the primary Zone line to a position where one can clearly distinguish why the line
would be placed in such a location. In other words, there would be one or more features
of the land that differentiate one side of the line from the other side. This is in contrast to
the arbitrary location of the line as it is now and where no one can differentiate one side
from the other.
2.AdjusttheBCODboundarylinessuchthatonlythoseareaswithpermanentnatural
features such as bluffs, wetlands, and buffers between conflicting land uses are included
within the primary and secondary zotre'
3. Guide the entire iz.1 u"r""within the proposed BCOD limits illustrated on the maps to
office, industrial or institutional use'
4. Guide the 1.8 acres directly south of New Street for public use and relocated storm pond'
Purpose of Second Request
1. Amending tf* "*""t plan and BCOD limits will allow the best use of the l2'7 acre area
site (titled Fox office campus). Its location and direct access to the TH#zlzlPowers
Blvd interchange makes this area ideal for office, industrial, or institutional use'
2. Convert the 3.2 acre areacurrently guided residential to office, industrial or institutional
use as this area can only be accessed through the area already guided for such use'
3. Retain the existing natural area (RIM pond and north/south wooded hill) which seryes as
a buffer between future residential development to the east and the planned office park to
the west.
4. Maintain the existing (private) trail connection between a future trail head at New Street
(see map) and Fox Woods Preserve. This trail runs through the center of the wooded
buffer area. Once development occurs this trail will be designated for public use'
5. provide space for community facilities including a trail head and trail head parking at
Powers Blvd directly south of New Street'
6. Allow space for the relocation of the existing storm pond to the south side of the New
Street (maP).
7. provide space for a planned lift station intended to serve the area south of Pioneer Trial
8. Provide parking and service access to the lift station's stationary equipment'

Bluff Creek Overlay District
Knowing where to apply the development restriction of the Bluff Creek Overlay District
Ordinance (BCOD) to a property depends primarily on what is included in the primary and
Secondary Zone and what is not. The ordinance is then applied to all areas of property which liewithin those zones. This specifically determines how the property within tne 3COD can be used,
what areas are "undevelopable" vs. "developable", what value the property is to the current
owner and future users, and what tax geleration capacity will result for the city when developed.
Which such significant impact, it is critical that the boundary be laid down wiih great care and
thoughtfulness and with some sense of consistency based on other similar tands wittrin the city.
Most importantly, there must be scientific analysis applied (inferred but not described in the
ordinance) to objectively determine the boundaries of the BCOD.
At the time the BCOD ordinance was adopted, the Primary Zone boundary was established
generally through the use of aerial photographs as no "on the ground" survey and/or data was
available for scientifically determining the limits of the zone. The intent (Section 20-1555
Boundary delineation) was that as properties come up for development the landowner was to
provide field data to assist the city in making a determination of the line's final location.
While this process seems to be well intended, the ordinance, while describing the kind of data
requested, is basically silent on how to use the data to establish the actual location of the
delineating line (the one exception is sec 20-1551 which deals with slopes specifically stating
that atea exceeding 25oh slope should be preserved). No additional guidance or process is given
that would allow one or more individuals, by applying the ordinanci's guidelines, to make
similar and consistent determinations of the boundary line's location. It is our view that it should
be inherent in any standard that two reasonably experienced people applyng the same standard
would come up with essentially the same conclusion. This is hardly thi case with the BCOD.
As a result, this lack of definition leaves it up to the sole discretion of the city staff as to where
the BCOD is established. This arbitrary process could lead to many substantial disagreanent, as I
believe it has in the past.
We submit that there must be some "standard" established, which when applied results in a
consistent determination as to the location of the BCOD boundary lines. Itis also our view that
the primary criteria for determining this boundary should be permanent features such as
topography and existing wetlands rather than plant cover, a fence or the edge of a field. Nor
should it be based on an existing road or previous use such as agricultur" oi u building site.
These things are most often created by human activity and change over time. Moreover,
ernploying tree coverage is problematic as it also changes over time and penalizes the landowner
who cultivates the property for agricultural production would be able to freely develop the
propefiy as there would be no tree cover due to his actions (and subsequentlyno BCOD). I
believe this is unfair and contrary to the spirit of the ordinance.
That said, where existing tree cover combine with a specific typographic feature forms a buffer
between two conflicting land uses, tree cover may be considered u f*to, in establishing the
line's location. Trees simply by themselves are not a reason to include land in the Bluff Creek

overlay District. Typography and wetlands are much more pelmanent land features and better
define what an appropriate use of the land is for generations to come'
Use of topogaphy and wetlands allow for more ob,io"t and conclusive locations of such
boundaries. Areas where level or gently slope abruptly change to a steep.and prolonged slope are
obvious points "f ..p"r"tl"n and Jt orti be appliedas logical boundary lines as city ordinances

a- Sr4cercotGr$on2sf
wetland boundaries are established easily through surveying, something that is already required
of every development and should be usei to esta-blish boundary line locations as well'
we submit that these two criteria (extensive slopes and wetlands) should b:9" dominant factors
used to establish theboundary line locations forthis application of the BCOD'

Conclusion Regarding Request Number Two
1. The area in question lies directly adjacent to the Interstate 2l}lPowers Blvd interchange
which includes excellent access to the intersection. The area also exhibits great view from
the east bound traffic on TH 21. This makes the area ideally suited for office or industrial
or institutional use.
2. It provides a beautiful setting for users as they are surrounded on three sides by park land.3. We believe the current BCOD boundary line shown on the current city mapping for the
area is unscientific and arbitrary and should be revised to comply with some reasonable
standard or at least exhibit obviousness as to why it is located where it is.4. The3.2 acre areanow guided residential is adjacent to the 9.5 acres guided
office/industrial. The only access to the 3.2 acre area is through the 9.5 acre area and in
our view should be guided for office/industrial and/or institutional as well. Moreover, the
area is rather noisy due to traffic from TH# 212 making it undesirable for residential use.5. The 3.2 acres identified on the enclosed map represents an ideal location for a multi-story
office building and its required parking area. It adjoins the 9.5 acre parcel guided
offrce/industrial and offers a unique site line from eastbound TH 212 traffic.
6. Allows the construction of office space similar in size to Fairview but moved further to
the north and east. This provides for greater separation of uses between the large lot
residential area to the south. This movement also eliminates the requirement for removal
of part of the steep hill which would also then require the construction of a long 12ft high

retaining wall (included in the Fairview plan). Lastly it also eliminates the need to build a
parking.u-p u, approved with the Fairview site as adequate space for surface parking is
made available with the addition of the 3'2 acres'
7 . The 1.8 acres south of the new street would be used for the trail head leading to Fox
Woods Preserve, trail head parking, the relocation of the existing storm pond and a
planned sewer lift station. The proposed trail head parking can also serve as access to the
lift station.
g. It appears that cunently the city intends to use this 3.2 acres as additional park land rather
than use the land for its best suited purpose. Even without the 3.2 acres in question,
approximat ely 52.5o/oof the 360 acres located in the vicinity is already designated as
open space and is intended to be used by the public as park or wetland' Addition another
3.2 acresof highly developable and potentially tax generating property to an already
expansive natural area will add little noticeable value.
g. The plan shown includes a trail connection to Fox Preserve at two points, starting from
the trail head at New Street. This route is completely wooded and overlooks the five acre
Rimpondtotheeastandisscreenedbythreesfromtheproposedofficeandparkingarea
to the west. It also contains a smaller pond between the.Y,, of the trail on the north end.
The development of the 3.2 acresas office/industrial will have no negative impact on this
trail connection and its amenities. [n fact, such a development can easily include internal
connections to the Fox preserve and area trail systern. Including the 3 -2 acres as park
does not in any way add to the already great experience that this trail provides'
10. Lastly the majority of the 3.2 acreu."ui, question is currently used for agriculture as is a
majority of the 9.i acres already guided office/industrial. This allows easy transition from

As can be seen, this area contributes to BluffCreek. At one time, this area drained overland toBluffCreek. With urban development, the drainage has been confined in certain areas to pipes
and culverts.
The drainage pattern on top of the blufftakes local drainage and directs it west towards powers
Boulevard. It also serves as the EOF for the large water boAy immediately east of the wooded
area. Lastly, there is a mitigation area located northerly on the
property.
Part of the discussion should be about the effects of
urbanization on channel characteristics and flow hydraulics.
As the area tributary to Bluffcreek is converted from prairie
and woodland conditions to urbanized conditions, the
following occurs:
1. Base flow is decreased which leads to a failure to support
aquatic vertebrates.
2.Tlte flashiness of the flows increase as water is directed to the creek faster than under natural
conditions.
3. The duration of the elevated flows is increased. Even with the installation of detention ponds,it still leads to a longer duration of peak flows even if the peak flow is decreased from an
urbanized condition without ponds.
4. All of this leads to increased scouring, head cutting, escarpment formation and sediment
loading and deposition.
5. This increased sediment load falls out of suspension downstream and leads to an embedded
condition meaning there is a diminished fish habitat as the small riffles formed in the cobbled
substrate disappear. This also leads to an increase in water temperature and a decrease in
transitivity of light and reduced plant and plankton production.
It is for this reason that we look at the entire watershed and not just that which is immediately
adjacent to BluffCreek.
To facilitate the preservation of the natural resources on this property, the city proposed the
dedication of a conservation easernent over the primaryonr ,rorth of tn" proposeO access road
and east of the office building.

SURFACE WATER (Chapter 9)
The Local Water Management Plan (LWMP) was prepared in conforrnance with Minnesota
Statutes 1038.235 and Minnesota Rules 8410. This plan is intended to provide the City of
Chanhassen with information and direction in the administration and implernentation of water
resource management activities within the city during the period 2018-2027. It serves as a guide
to projects, provides for effective allocation of resources, and sets forth a funding plan for
projects and programs over the next 5 to l0 years.
The City of Chanhassen recognizes the importance of water resource management. In August of
2006 the city adopted the Second Generation Surface Water Management p-lan. The LWMp is
currently in the process of being amended and updated and is anticipated to be sent out for
review to appropriate jurisdiction by January 2018. The LWMP -ust follo* a separate and
mandatory review process pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 103P..235 and Minnesota Rules g410.
The city's LWMP has been reviewed by all the watershed districts. Their comments were
received by May 3d. The final plan is based on their comments. The city will adopt the local
2018 - 2027 surtace water management plan (LWMP) and will incorporate the six water resource
goals as specified in the LWMP.
Goal 1. Promoteabstraction through infiltration, reuse and other methods where practicable
to do so to provide flood protection, ground water recharge and improved water quality.
Goal2, Achieve water quality standards in lakes, streams, and wetlands consistent with their

Mayor Laufenburger called the work session to order at 5:30 p.m.
COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Laufenburger, Councilwoman Tjornhom,
Councilman McDonald, Councilwoman Ryan, and Councilman Campion

FOLLOW UP DISCUSSION OF FRANCHISE FEE PROCESS.
Greg Sticha introduced Jim Strommen who walked the council through the process of setting up
franchise fees, how utility companies will determine the amount of the franchise fee needed to
raise the income the City is looking for, public hearing requirements and how that will play into
this process. Mayor Laufenburger asked for clarification on how staff will proceed in meeting
with utility companies. Jim Strommen explained how other communities have proceeded with
implementing franchise fees. Councilwoman Ryan asked Mr. Strommen to clarify what he
means by using the term “fixed fees” from the utility companies. Mayor Laufenburger asked for
clarification on what Mr. Strommen means by saying 50 percent residential, 50 percent
commercial can be considered fair. Greg Sticha explained how staff worked with Ehlers and
Associates to establish a fixed based franchise fee with the utility companies using different
residential/commercial splits of 50/50, 60/40 and 70/30. Councilman McDonald asked how
other communities use franchise fees and what utility companies are looking for with the
pavement management program and not the percentage of split between residential and
commercial. Jim Strommen re-emphasized that the negotiation process is at the beginning with
the utility companies. Mayor Laufenburger asked for clarification on how to set up what the
council requests of utility companies to meet the do llar amount needed by the City and how
many scenarios the City can request. Jim Strommen explained that it depends on timing when
the city wants to begin the franchise fee. Councilwoman Ryan explained that she would like to
see elimination of the levy amount and the use of just franchise fees. Councilwoman Tjornhom
stated that she would favor pushing this item back to make sure the process is done right rather
than fast. Councilman Campion agreed that it feels like the council is b eing rushed to make a

$2,284,000 as the full pavement management program split 50/50. Two , leave $384,000 levy in
place and $1,900,000 from 50/50 residential/commercial split. And three, 60 percent from
residential and 40 percent commercial to fund the $1,900,000. Jim Strommen suggested a fourth
scenario asking the utilities how they would fund $1,900,000 and $2,284,000. Mayor
Laufenburger reviewed the process moving forward and asked what the next step will be. Mr.
Strommen suggested that the council pick one scenario to move forward to a public hearing.
Mayor Laufenburger reiterated the five steps that the council will follow in moving forward.
DISCUSSION OF 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
Kate Aanenson and Bob Generous presented an overview of where staff is in the Comprehensive
Plan process and text revisions that have been made per public comments. Bob Generous
reviewed the proposed text revisions each individually. Councilwoman Ryan expressed concern
that the wording was confusing rega rding infill development and would work with staff to clean
up the wording. Kate Aanenson explained that all the watershed districts have given their
approval to the plan before reviewing the 2020-2040 land use comparison chart, especially
no ting the high density numbers that have increased and anticipated development sequencing
chart. Paul Oehme reviewed the future sewer development scenarios to provide service on
Highway 101 explaining the best scenario is extending service through Bluff Creek Golf Cour se
to connect to Highway 101. Kate Aanenson continued with land use change impacts associated
with development of the Bluff Creek Golf Course and property owned by the Halla family.
Roger Knutson suggested how to proceed with receiving information from the Halla family
regarding their development proposals. Mark Halla explained that his family supports the
realignment of 101 which will likely put his business , The Mustard Seed, will go out of business.
Therefore they are requesting a higher density zoning change in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Mayor Laufenburger discussed drawings being shown for Halla Greens and Mustard Seed
property and if they have looked at low density residential use for the property. Councilman
Campion asked for clarification on the Halla requests regarding sewer and water in relation to
development. Kate Aanenson clarified that currently the property is guided low density and their
request is to guide the property for high density. Mayor Laufenburger asked when council will
adopt the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Kate Aanenson stated it is tentatively scheduled for
October 10th. Tim Erhart asked for clarification on his request for the 3.2 acre change and
Planning Commission action voting to deny his request. Councilwoman Ryan asked if further
discussion is warranted for the requests by the Halla family and Tim Erhart.
Mayor Laufenburger adjourned the work session at 7:05 p.m.

regarding a tobacco use policy. Tim Erhart discussed issues related to a request for land use
changes to protect and create a greenway along the Bluff Creek corridor as it relates to his vision
for development of a high end office project on his property. Councilwoman Ryan asked for

REVIEW OF SECOND QUARTER REVENUE ACTIVITY TO DATE AND
INVESTMENTS.
Greg Sticha explained that revenue numbers for the second quarter are greater than budgeted
numbers before introducing Reed Christenson, the investment consultant with Wells Fargo who
reviewed results of the investment portfolio. Mayor Laufenburger asked for clarification on how
the investment portfolio compares to debt. Councilman Campion asked if the numbers being
presented can be compared to key financial strategy cities.
PRELIMINARY BUDGET AND LEVY DISCUSSION.
Greg Sticha discussed assumptions used in setting up the preliminary budget as related to new
growth, wage adjustments, health care, elimination of the crime prevention specialist position,
and police contract numbers which result s in a levy that is $76,000 above the new growth
number. He explained that reduction of the $76,000 is represented in scenario 2. Mayor
Laufenburger discussed the three scenarios and asked how the budget and levy schedule will
proceed. Councilman Campion stated there seemed to be barely no difference between the 3
scenarios being presented and asked staff to look at presenting more differences in the 3
scenario s. Todd Gerhardt explained how service cuts have been addressed in the past. Mayor
Laufenburger asked that Jill Sinclair come back at a future work session to discuss yard waste
collection options.
Mayor Laufenburger adjourned the work session meeting at 6:57 p.m.

BACKGROUND
Over the past several months the city council has taken input on adopting a franchise fee on gas and electric utilities for
the purpose of funding the city's pavement management program. The city and both electric utility companies (Xcel

drafted for each utility.
Staff is asking the city council to first hold a public hearing on the proposed franchise agreements and the proposed
franchise fee ordinances. During the public hearing, staff will review the need and the purpose for the franchise fee and
show the impact to each billing classification of the franchise fee. Staff is requesting that after receiving public input,
the city council consider adoption of the proposed agreements and ordinances.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the city council hold a public hearing on the adoption and approval of franchise agreement
ordinances and franchise fee ordinances, and then consider adoption of the attached Franchise Agreement Ordinances

Agenda
•Explain the purpose and the need for additional funding
for Pavement Management
•Discuss what a Franchise Fee is
•Review the proposed franchise fee by rate class
•Consider adoption of Franchise Fee Agreement &
Ordinance
Proposed Franchise Fee
Pavement Management Program (PMP)
“Our Goal is to implement changes in the funding of the Pavement
Management Program (PMP) by maintaining a sustainable and
consistent funding source for PMP Street and Trail projects.”
3
City Streets
•112 Miles of Streets to Maintain
•Total Estimated Replacement Value
➢Largest Capital Asset $183,000,000
4
Pedestrian Trail Miles
•60 Miles of Asphalt Trails
−37 miles within Street Right-of-way
−23 miles in Parks and open spaces
−$9,100,000 Replacement Value
5
The Right Action
at the Right Time……
✓Prolongs pavement life
✓Keeps City’s infrastructure in good condition
✓Maintain or increases property values
✓Have a cost effective program
6
Pavement
Management Program
•PMP Started in 1991
•Every Street and Trail is surveyed once every 3 years
o Document distresses –Potholes, Cracks, rutting etc.
•Data is entered into program to generate a Pavement Condition
Index (PCI)
o Rating 100 = new street, 0 =gravel street
•For Past 10 Years, City’s average PCI has been around 70
o Generally considered in overall good condition
7
Street Maintenance Needs
•Most streets where constructed in the 1980’s and 1990’s (≈60%)
•These streets are now coming due for maintenance
•PMP estimates PCI will be 44 in 20 years with current funding levels

Proposed 5 year Collect Road Improvement Plan
Funding Need
•The City has been spending about $2.0M annually on road projects
▪Average 2.6 miles of streets improved annually
•To maintain a PCI of 70, funding will need to be increased
•PMP estimates funding levels should increase to $3.3M to maintain
the current pavement condition
▪Average yearly street project length would increase to 4.1 miles
14
How have we paid for improvements to date?
A: Revolving Assessment Construction Fund
•Started in 2006 with $6.7M in transfers from funds with
surpluses (mostly from decertified TIF districts)
•Has been used to pay for all local street improvements that
are assessed to benefiting property owners (40%)
•Total expenses per year on average have been about $2.0M
•The city assessment practice is to assess 40% to benefitting
property owners, which would account for roughly $800,000
of the $2.0M per year, leaving 1.2M in city costs to all property
owners per year
15
16
•Interest earned on repaid assessment
•Occasional surplus transfers from the city’s general fund and
other surpluses from other funds have been used
•Interest earned on the fund balance reserves maintained in the
fund since inception
•In 2015, an opportunity was available to use a decreased debt
levy to help fund PMP. That reduced levy was about $400,000
and has been in place since (currently $384,000).
How has the City paid for the remaining
$1.2M of its share of the costs?
The Real Need…… $3.3M not $2.0M

•The amount of streets needing significant improvements
that were built in the 80’s & 90’s (see slide 7) is and will
continue to increase
•If the city goal is to maintain the current PCI at or near 70,
$3.3M per year needs to be spent on annual
improvements not the current amount of $2.0M, based on
our PCI system projections
•Increasing the spending to $3.3M without increasing the
funding will cause the revolving assessment construction
fund to be in a deficit by 2020
What is a Franchise Fee?
•Cities have statutory authority to have franchise
agreements with each utility company (gas and electric)
for maintaining city-owned right-of-way
•Within those agreements cities may charge the utility
companies a fee for use of city right-of-way
•Currently, the City of Chanhassen does not impose a
Franchise Fee associated with those agreements

Why a Franchise Fee vs. a Property Tax Levy?
20
Property Tax Levy
Residential Commericial/Others
Franchise Fee
Residential Commericial/Others
•A Franchise Fee offers more flexibility than a property tax which charges 83
cents of every dollar to residential properties. A Franchise Fee could be set
to meet a funding goal.
•Under the proposed franchise fee rate schedule, the franchise fee itself
would be collected on a 63/37 basis, rather than 83/17 which is what a
property tax levy would achieve.
Why a Franchise Fee?
•Collects from all users of streets; Tax-exempt properties who currently do not pay for PMP
would now be contributing to PMP
•If city levied for all of PMP, the average home ($360,000) would see an increase in their city
portion of their property tax bill of between $170-$180. A Franchise Fee based on the
proposed rate structure would amount to $120/year on a residential property and $588/year
on a Medium sized Commercial Meter (Current Bill of $3,000/month).

not prejudiced by lack of such notice. If Company is required to indemnify and defend, it will
thereafter have control of such litigation, but Company may not settle such litigation without the
consent of the City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This section is not, as to third
parties, a waiver of any defense or immunity otherwise available to the City; and Company, in defending
any action on behalf of the City shall be entitled to assert in any action every defense or immunity that

waiver by the City of any of its defenses of immunity or limitations on liability under Minnesota
Statutes, Chapter 466.

Ordinance. Any governmental unit succeeding the City shall, without the consent of Company,
succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the City provided in this Ordinance.
SECTION 10. FRANCHISE FEE.
10.1. Form. During the term of the franchise hereby granted, and in addition to permit
fees being imposed or that the City has a right to impose, the City may charge the Company a
franchise fee. The fee may be (i) a percentage of gross revenues received by the Company for its
operations within the City, or (ii) a flat fee per customer based on metered service to retail
customers within the City or on some other similar basis, or (iii) a fee based on units of energy
delivered to any class of retail customers within the corporate limits of the City. The formula for a
franchise fee based on units of energy delivered may incorporate both commodity and demand
units. The method of imposing the franchise fee, the percentage of revenue rate, or the flat rate
based on metered service may differ for each customer class or combine the methods described in
(i) - (iii) above in assessing the fee. The City shall seek to use a formula that provides a stable and
predictable amount of fees, without placing the Company at a competitive disadvantage. If the
Company claims that the City-required fee formula is discriminatory or otherwise places the
Company at a competitive disadvantage, the Company shall provide a formula that will produce a
6
substantially similar fee amount to the City and reimburse the City’s reasonable fees and costs in
reviewing the formula. The City will attempt to accommodate the Company but is under no
franchise obligation to adopt the Company-proposed franchise fee formula and such review will not
delay the implementation of the City-imposed fee.
10.2. Separate Ordinance. The franchise fee shall be imposed by separate ordinance
duly adopted by the City Council, which ordinance shall not be adopted until at least thirty (30) days
after written notice enclosing such proposed ordinance has been served upon the Company. The
fee shall become effective ten (10) days after written notice enclosing such adopted ordinance has
been served upon the Company by certified mail.
10.3. Condition of Fee. The separate ordinance imposing the fee shall not be effective
against the Company unless it lawfully imposes a fee of the same or substantially similar amount on
the sale of electric energy within the City by any other electric energy supplier, provided that, as to
such supplier, the City has the authority to require a franchise fee.
10.4. Collection of Fee. The franchise fee shall be payable not less than quarterly during
complete billing months of the period for which payment is to be made. The franchise fee formula
may be changed from time to time; however, the change shall meet the same notice requirements
and the fee may not be changed more often than annually. Such fee shall not exceed any amount
that the Company may legally charge to its customers prior to payment to the City. Such fee is
subject to subsequent reductions to account for uncollectibles and customer refunds incurred by the
Company. The Company agrees to make available for inspection by the City at reasonable times all
records necessary to audit the Company’s determination of the franchise fee payments.
10.5. Continuation of Franchise Fee. If this franchise expires and the City and the
Company are unable to agree upon terms of a new franchise, the franchise fee, if any being imposed by

SECTION 11. SERVICE RELIABILITY, INFRASTRUCTURE REPORTING.
The Company and the City shall meet annually at a mutually convenient time to discuss items
of concern or interest relating to the Company’s service reliability in the previous year, compared to

Company. Upon request, the Company shall produce reports comparing its service record in the City
to other service areas and provide, among other reasonably required data, System Average Interruption

SECTION 12. PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE.
12.1. Severability. Every section, provision, or part of this Ordinance is declared separate
from every other section, provision, or part; and if any section, provision, or part shall be held

12.2. Limitation on Applicability. This Ordinance constitutes a franchise agreement
between the City and Company as the only parties and no provision of this franchise shall in any
way inure to the benefit of any third person (including the public at large) so as to constitute any

or otherwise give rise to any cause of action in any person not a party hereto.
SECTION 13. AMENDMENT PROCEDURE.
Either party to this franchise agreement may at any time propose that the agreement be
amended. This Ordinance may be amended at any time by the City passing a subsequent ordinance
declaring the provisions of the amendment, which amendatory ordinance shall become effective

NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY, A MINNESOTA CORPORATION, ITS
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, FOR PROVIDING ELECTRIC SERVICE WITHIN THE
CITY OF CHANHASSEN
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHANHASSEN, CARVER AND HENNEPIN
COUNTY, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS:
SECTION 1. The City of Chanhassen Municipal Code is hereby amended to include reference to
the following Special Ordinance.
Subd. 1. Purpose. The Chanhassen City Council has determined that it is in the best
interest of the City to impose a franchise fee on those public utility companies that provide electric
services within the City of Chanhassen.
(a) Pursuant to City Ordinance ______, a Franchise Agreement between the City of
Chanhassen and Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation, its
successors and assigns, the City has the right to impose a franchise fee on Northern
States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation, its successors and assigns, in an
amount and fee design as allowed in Section 9 of the Northern States Power Company
Franchise and in the fee schedule attached hereto as Schedule A.
Subd. 2. Franchise Fee Statement. A franchise fee is hereby imposed on Northern States
Power Company, a Minnesota Corporation, its successors and assigns, under its electric franchise in
accordance with the schedule attached here to and made a part of this Ordinance, commencing with
the NSPM March 2019billing month.
Subd. 3. Account-Based Fee. This fee is an account-based fee on each premise and not a
meter-based fee. In the event that an entity covered by this ordinance has more than one meter at a
single premise, but only one account, only one fee shall be assessed to that account. If a premise has
two or more meters being billed at different rates, the Company may have an account for each rate
classification, which will result in more than one franchise fee assessment for electric service to that
premise. If the Company combines the rate classifications into a single account, the franchise fee
assessed to the account will be the largest franchise fee applicable to a single rate classification for
energy delivered to that premise. In the event any entities covered by this ordinance have more than
one premise, each premise (address) shall be subject to the appropriate fee. In the event a question
arises as to the proper fee amount for any premise, the Company’s manner of billing for energy used
at all similar premises in the city will control.
Subd. 4. Payment. The said franchise fee shall be payable to the City in accordance with
the terms set forth in Section 9 of the Franchise.
Subd. 5. Surcharge. The City recognizes that the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission
may allow Company to add a surcharge to customer rates of city residents to reimburse Company
for the cost of the fee.
2
Subd. 6. Enforcement. Any dispute, including enforcement of a default regarding this
ordinance will be resolved in accordance with Section 2.5 of the Franchise Agreement.
Subd. 7. Effective Date of Franchise Fee. The effective date of this Ordinance shall be
after its publication and ninety (90) days after the sending of written notice enclosing a copy of this
adopted Ordinance to NSPM by certified mail. Collection of the fee shall commence as provided
above.

SECTION 3. LOCATION, OTHER REGULATIONS.
3.1. Location of Facilities. Electric Facilities shall be located, constructed, and maintained
so as not to interfere with the safety and convenience of ordinary travel along and over Public Ways and
so as not to disrupt or interfere with the normal operation of any City Utility System. Electric Facilities
may be located on Public Grounds as determined by the City. Company’s construction, reconstruction,
operation, repair, maintenance, location and relocation of Electric Facilities shall be subject to other
reasonable regulations of the City consistent with authority granted the City to manage its Public Ways
and Public Grounds under state law, to the extent not inconsistent with a specific term of this franchise
agreement. Company may abandon underground Electric Facilities in place, provided, that at the City’s
request, Company will remove all abandoned Electric Facilities interfering with a City improvement
project, but only to the extent the Facilities are uncovered or will be uncovered by excavation as part of
the City improvement project.
3.2. Street Openings. Company shall not open or disturb the surface of any Public Way or
Public Ground for any purpose without first having obtained a permit from the City, if required by a
separate ordinance for which the City may impose a reasonable fee subject to the provisions of Section
9. Permit conditions imposed on Company shall not be more burdensome than those imposed on
other utilities for similar facilities or work. Company may, however, open and disturb the surface of any
Public Way or Public Ground without a permit if (i) an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair
of Electric Facilities and (ii) Company gives telephone notice to the City before, if reasonably possible,
commencement of the emergency repair. Within two business days after commencing the repair,
Company shall apply for any required permits and pay any required fees.

Company shall restore the Public Way in accordance with Minnesota Rules, part 7819.1100 and
applicable City ordinances consistent with law. Company shall restore Public Ground to as good a
condition as formerly existed, and shall maintain the surface in good condition for six (6) months
thereafter. All work shall be completed as promptly as weather permits, and if Company shall not
promptly perform and complete the work, remove all dirt, rubbish, equipment and material, and put the
Public Ground in the said condition, the City shall have the right, after demand to Company to cure
and the passage of a reasonable period of time following the demand, but not to exceed five days, to
make the restoration of the Public Ground at the expense of Company. Company shall pay to the City
the cost of such work done for or performed by the City. This remedy shall be in addition to any other
remedy available to the City for noncompliance with this Section 3.3. The City conditionally waives any
requirement for Company to post a construction performance bond, certificate of insurance, letter of
credit or any other form of security or assurance that may be required, under a separate existing or
future ordinance of the City, of a person or entity obtaining the City’s permission to install, replace or
maintain facilities in a Public Way or the Public Ground. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City
reserves the right to require a performance bond acceptable to the City and Company for new
installation, replacement or repairs when the Company’s completion of its work is required in order for
the City to proceed with its work for constructing a public improvement to the Public Way, or if
Company has failed to properly or timely restore its work under a permit issued within two years of the
Company’s project permit application.

including Company, from liability arising out of the failure to exercise reasonable care to avoid
damaging Electric Facilities or other persons or property while performing any activity.
4

Notice of plans for improvements to Public Grounds or Public Ways where the City has reason to
believe that Electric Facilities may affect or be affected by the improvement. The notice must contain:

the improvements are to be made, (iii) the extent of the improvements, (iv) the time when the City will
start the work, and (v) if more than one Public Ground or Public Way is involved, the order in which
the work is to proceed. The notice must be given to Company a sufficient length of time, considering
seasonal working conditions, in advance of the actual commencement of the work to permit Company
to make any additions, alterations or repairs to its Electric Facilities the Company deems necessary.
3.6. Mapping Information. The Company must promptly provide mapping information
for any of it underground Electric Facilities in accordance with Minnesota Rules parts 7819.4000 and
7819.4100.
3.7 Shared Use of Poles. Company shall make space available on its poles or towers for
City fire, water utility, police or other City facilities upon terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to
Company whenever such use will not interfere with the use of such poles or towers by Company, by
another electric utility, by a telephone utility, or by any cable television company or other form of
communication company. In addition, the City shall pay for any added cost incurred by Company
because of such use by City.
SECTION 4. FACILITIES RELOCATION.

relocate or remove its Electric Facilities from Public Ground upon a finding by City that the Electric
Facilities have become or will become a substantial impairment to the existing or proposed public use
of the Public Ground. Such relocation shall comply with applicable ordinances consistent with law.
4.3. Projects with Federal Funding. Relocation, removal, or rearrangement of any
Electric Facilities made necessary because of the extension into or through City of a federally-aided
highway project shall be governed by the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 161.46. The City is
obligated to pay Company only for those portions of its relocation costs for which City has received
federal funding specifically allocated for relocation costs in the amount requested by Company. The
City shall reimburse Company pursuant to this Section and the Government Prompt Payment Act,
Minn. Stat. § 471.425, after relocation costs are determined.
5
SECTION 5. TREE TRIMMING.
Unless otherwise provided in any permit or other reasonable regulation required by the City
under separate ordinance, Company may trim all trees and shrubs in the Public Grounds and Public
Ways of City to the extent Company finds necessary to avoid interference with the proper construction,
operation, repair and maintenance of any Electric Facilities installed hereunder, provided that Company
shall hold the City harmless from any liability arising therefrom.
SECTION 6. INDEMNIFICATION.
6.1. Indemnity of City. Company shall indemnify and hold the City harmless from any
and all liability, on account of injury to persons or damage to property occasioned by the construction,
maintenance, repair, inspection, the issuance of permits, or the operation of the Electric Facilities
located in the Public Grounds and Public Ways. The City shall not be indemnified for losses or claims
occasioned through its own negligence except for losses or claims arising out of or alleging the City’s
negligence as to the issuance of permits for, or inspection of, Company’s plans or work.
6.2. Defense of City. In the event a suit is brought against the City under circumstances
where this agreement to indemnify applies, Company at its sole cost and expense shall defend the City
in such suit if written notice thereof is promptly given to Company within a period wherein Company is
not prejudiced by lack of such notice. If Company is required to indemnify and defend, it will
thereafter have control of such litigation, but Company may not settle such litigation without the
consent of the City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This section is not, as to third
parties, a waiver of any defense or immunity otherwise available to the City; and Company, in defending
any action on behalf of the City shall be entitled to assert in any action every defense or immunity that
the City could assert in its own behalf. This franchise agreement shall not be interpreted to constitute a
waiver by the City of any of its defenses of immunity or limitations on liability under Minnesota
Statutes, Chapter 466.
SECTION 7. VACATION OF PUBLIC WAYS.
The City shall give Company at least two weeks prior written notice of a proposed vacation of a
Public Way. Except where required for a City improvement project, the vacation of any Public Way,
after the installation of Electric Facilities, shall not operate to deprive Company of its rights to operate
and maintain such Electric Facilities until the reasonable cost of relocating the same are first paid to
Company. The City and Company shall comply with Minnesota Rules, subpart 7819.3200 and
applicable ordinances consistent with law.
SECTION 8. CHANGE IN FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
Any change in the form of government of the City shall not affect the validity of this
Ordinance. Any governmental unit succeeding the City shall, without the consent of Company,
succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the City provided in this Ordinance.
SECTION 9. FRANCHISE FEE.
9.1 Fee Schedule. During the term of the franchise hereby granted, and in lieu of any permit
or other fees being imposed on Company, the City may impose on Company a franchise fee by
6
collecting the amounts indicated in a Fee Schedule set forth in a separate ordinance from each customer
in the designated Company Customer Class. The parties have agreed that the initial franchise fee
collected by the Company and paid to the City in accordance with this Section 9 shall be a fixed
monthly fee in accordance with the following customer classes and in amounts as set forth pursuant to
section 9.2 below. The City reserves its right to modify these fees from time to time, upward or
downward, subject to the amendatory procedure stated in Section 12 below.
Class Fee Per Premise Per Month
Residential $ 5.00
Sm C & I – Non-Dem $ 14.00
Sm C & I – Demand $ 40.00
Large C & I $ 290.00
Public Street Ltg $ 0
Muni Pumping – N/D $ 0
Muni Pumping – Dem $ 0
9.2 Separate Ordinance. The franchise fee shall be imposed by a separate ordinance duly
adopted by the City Council, which ordinance shall not be adopted until at least 90 days after written
notice of the City’s intent to impose a fee has been served upon Company. The fee shall not become
effective until the beginning of a Company billing month at least 90 days after written notice enclosing
such adopted ordinance has been served upon Company by certified mail. Section 2.5 shall constitute
the sole remedy for solving disputes between Company and the City in regard to the interpretation of,
or enforcement of, the separate ordinance.
9.3 Terms Defined. For the purpose of this Section 9, the following definitions apply:
9.3.1 “Customer Class” shall refer to the classes listed on the Fee Schedule and as
defined or determined in Company’s electric tariffs on file with the Commission.
9.3.2 “Fee Schedule” refers to the schedule in Section 9.1 setting forth the various
customer classes from which a franchise fee would be collected if a separate ordinance were
implemented immediately after the effective date of this franchise agreement. The Fee Schedule in the
separate ordinance may include new Customer Class added by Company to its electric tariffs after the
effective date of this franchise.
9.4 Collection of the Fee. The franchise fee shall be payable quarterly and shall be based
on the amount collected by Company during complete billing months during the period for which
payment is to be made by imposing a surcharge equal to the designated franchise fee for the applicable
customer classification in all customer billings for electric service in each class. The payment shall be
due the last business day of the month following the period for which the payment is made. The
franchise fee may be changed by ordinance from time to time; however, each change shall meet the
same notice requirements and not occur more often than annually and no change shall require a
collection from any customer for electric service in excess of the amounts specifically permitted by this
Section 9. The parties acknowledge that certain elements of collecting the franchise fee are subject to
the approval of the Commission. No franchise fee shall be payable by Company if Company is legally
unable to first collect an amount equal to the franchise fee from its customers in each applicable class of
customers by imposing a surcharge in Company’s applicable rates for electric service. Company may
7
pay the City the fee based upon the surcharge billed subject to subsequent reductions to account for
uncollectibles, refunds and correction of erroneous billings. Company agrees to make its records
available for inspection and audit by the City at reasonable times provided that the City and its
designated representative agree in writing, subject to requirements of law otherwise, not to disclose any
information which would indicate the amount paid by any identifiable customer or customers or any
other information regarding identified customers. If any error in collection of franchise fees is
discovered by either party, the City and Company shall meet as soon as reasonably practical to negotiate
the means, methods and timing in which the fee payment shall be made to the City. In no event shall
fees the Company cannot collect from customers be included in the amount payable to the City.
9.5 Equivalent Fee Requirement. The separate ordinance imposing the fee shall not be
effective against Company unless it lawfully imposes and the City quarterly or more often collects a fee
or tax of the same or greater equivalent amount on the receipts from sales of energy within the City by
any other energy supplier, provided that, as to such a supplier, the City has the authority to require a
franchise fee or to impose a tax. The “same or greater equivalent amount” shall be measured, if
practicable, by comparing amounts collected as a franchise fee from each similar customer class, or by
comparing, as to similar customer classes the percentage of the annual bill represented by the amount
collected for franchise fee purposes. The franchise fee or tax shall be applicable to energy sales for any
energy use related to heating, cooling or lighting, or to run machinery and appliances, but shall not apply
to energy sales for the purpose of providing fuel for vehicles. The Company may waive the foregoing
of this Section 9.5, to the extent of such written consent.
SECTION 10. SERVICE RELIABILITY, INFRASTRUCTURE REPORTING.
The Company and the City shall meet annually at a mutually convenient time to discuss items
of concern or interest relating to this Franchise, including, but not limited to, collaborative
infrastructure planning, vegetation management and reliability performance. Upon request, the
Company shall provide to City reporting information on service reliability, including System Average
Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) and other measures as may be beneficial and mutually agreeable,
such as Customers Experiencing Multiple interruptions (CEMI) or other outage data, the exact form
and content of which shall all be mutually agreed to by City and Company.
SECTION 11. PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE.
11.1. Severability. Every section, provision, or part of this Ordinance is declared separate
from every other section, provision, or part; and if any section, provision, or part shall be held
invalid, it shall not affect any other section, provision, or part; provided, however, if any provision is
held invalid, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to substitute, to the extent reasonably
possible, amended provisions that validly carry out the primary purpose of the invalid provisions.
Where a provision of any other City ordinance conflicts with the provisions of this Ordinance, the
provisions of this Ordinance shall prevail.
11.2. Limitation on Applicability. This Ordinance constitutes a franchise agreement
between the City and Company as the only parties and no provision of this franchise shall in any
way inure to the benefit of any third person (including the public at large) so as to constitute any
such person as a third party beneficiary of the agreement or of any one or more of the terms hereof,
or otherwise give rise to any cause of action in any person not a party hereto.
8
SECTION 12. AMENDMENT PROCEDURE.
Either party to this franchise agreement may at any time propose that the agreement be
amended. This Ordinance may be amended at any time by the City passing a subsequent ordinance
declaring the provisions of the amendment, which amendatory ordinance shall become effective
upon the filing of Company’s written consent thereto with the City Clerk after City council
adoption of the amendatory ordinance. This amendatory procedure, however, is not a waiver of
Company’s or the City’s rights or arguments, whether under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 216B.36
and 301B.01 or other applicable law or otherwise.
