Subject Review of 2020 Utility Rate Study
Section 5:00 P.M. WORK SESSION Item No: A.1.
Prepared By Charlie Howley, Public Works
Director/City Engineer
File No: n/a
SUMMARY
Representatives from Ehlers and Associates will review the annual Utility Rate Study. Staff attempted to keep rates as
close as possible to last year’s rate study, but some adjustments will be discussed this evening as each utility fund has
its own unique circumstances.
DISCUSSION
Staff will be looking for direction from the Council this evening on setting the Utility Rates at the December 14 City
Council meeting.

Subject Annual Stormwater Pond Maintenance Program Update
Section 5:00 P.M. WORK SESSION Item No: A.2.
Prepared By Matt Unmacht, Water Resources
Coordinator
File No: CIP SWMP032
SUMMARY
Staff will present a summary of a Stormwater Pond Management Plan. The Plan outlines how the City intends to
track, inspect, prioritize, and maintain City owned stormwater ponds, along with a discussion of funding and budgeting
needs.
There has been a CIP project and budget for pond maintenance in previous years but a comprehensive plan was not
formally developed. The results show a need for more attention to our stormwater infrastructure, which is a common
issue brought up by staff and residents.
The Plan and the PowerPoint presentation is attached to this Staff Report.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN
Stormwater Pond Management Plan
October 2020
Page 1
Overview and Purpose
The City of Chanhassen (City) has approximately 250 publically owned stormwater ponds across
the City; a map of these ponds is included as Appendix A. A stormwater pond is a common
type of stormwater management Best Management Practice (BMP) that is used for rate control,
flood mitigation and Water Quality (WQ) treatment. Other types of common stormwater
management BMP’s include infiltration basins, filtration/biofiltration basins, rain gardens, sump
structures, underground storage chambers, pervious pavements, etc.
Stormwater ponds, sometimes referred to as “wet ponds” or “NURP” ponds, are designed to
remove pollutants from stormwater runoff, including sediment. These ponds became
commonplace in developments starting in the early 1980’s in response to the federal Clean Water
Act (CWA) and regulations put in place by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Since
the primary method of WQ treatment for these ponds is trapping sediments, over time they build
up, making the pond shallower and less effective at removing pollutants. Therefore, to
effectively manage stormwater runoff and to protect downstream waterbodies, these ponds need
to be routinely inspected and maintained. These inspections consist of depth measurements of
the pond itself (bathymetric surveys) along with visual inspections of the inlet/outlet pipes and
structures, and reviewing the integrity of the pond slopes and adjacent land surrounding the
pond.
Inspection and maintenance of the City’s stormwater management infrastructure also ensures
compliance with the City’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit, and takes steps toward achieving our
WQ goals as identified in the City’s adopted Local Surface Water Management Plan (LSWMP).
As with any management plan, prioritization of inspection and maintenance activities is crucial
to a successful and cost-effective stormwater management program. The City must annually
submit MS4 permit information to the State, including what the City has done that year
concerning inspection and maintenance of their ponds.
As part of the MS4 permit, the City is required to inspect a minimum of 20% of the stormwater
ponds each year; and all stormwater ponds within 5 years, in order to determine structural
integrity, proper function, and maintenance needs. As for the maintenance, the permit states
“Based on inspection findings, the permittee shall determine if repair, replacement, or
maintenance measures are necessary in order to ensure the structural integrity, proper function,
and treatment effectiveness of structural stormwater BMPs. Necessary maintenance shall be
completed as soon as possible to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to stormwater.” A
new MS4 permit will be issued in November 2020. The only change to any of the inspection and
maintenance requirements in the new permit is that it will require documentation if maintenance
cannot be performed within one year.
Stormwater Pond Management Plan
October 2020
Page 2
Related to the inspection and maintenance requirements of the MS4 permit, the City frequently
performs minor in-house stormwater infrastructure repairs related to ponds, usually involving
sediment deltas or vegetation maintenance. Deltas can form at the inlets as sediment is
transported from the unstabilized drainage areas to the pond. In addition, volunteer vegetation
that may impede the flow into or out of a pond is typically removed. Another stormwater
maintenance activity that is performed by Public Works staff is the cleaning of sump structures.
Sump structures are manholes or catch basins with deeper bottom sections that are located at the
last accessible point of the storm sewer network prior to discharge to the pond. In the sump, the
deepened bottom section allows the stormwater to pool and lets some of the larger sediment to
settle out. The settled sediment then can be cleaned out of the bottom of the sump by a vactor
truck, which is far easier and cost effective than cleaning sediment from a pond. For reference,
City staff cleaned out 57 of the City’s sumps in 2019 and 232 sumps in 2020. Sumps were not
historically used before the mid-1990’s and therefore many of the City’s older storm sewer
networks do not have them, which is evident by the older ponds having much more sediment
deposition than newer ponds. As a best practice, it is far more efficient and less impactful to
downstream water bodies to keep sediments from being dislodged from the ground surface in the
first place by utilizing proper erosion and sediment control practices; which is why permitting
and rules concerning land disturbance are of major importance to grading activities.
Other agencies such as Carver County and MnDOT are also MS4 permittees, and as such they
have similar reporting and maintenance requirements that the City has. The City does not
perform maintenance on stormwater infrastructure that are owned by another agency or private
party. For private BMP’s, the level of required inspection and maintenance may change
depending on the BMP type and what agreements were put in place at time of installation;
private parties are not subject to MS4 permitting requirements, however current practice is to
have privately BMP owners enter into O&M agreements that get recorded against the property to
ensure the obligations in perpetuity.
Stormwater basins typically have a 20- to 50-year lifespan before major maintenance is needed
(other than sediment dredging). The variability can be attributed to factors including, but not
limited to, drainage area characteristics, impervious cover percentage, and the amount of erosion
occurring both naturally and during construction projects. Older basins, having been designed
with smaller rainfall depths, may not be sized appropriately to meet today’s stormwater treatment
standards. Aging basins that have elevated chloride concentrations from road salts or
overabundant aquatic vegetation can become a source of nutrient loading to a watershed system.
This is the opposite intended effect of stormwater treatment BMPs, and if not managed properly,
these issues can offset intended water quality improvements. When a pond is green, that is a
symptom of an overabundance of phosphorous, which is the food for algea and duckweed. The
phosphorous is largely brought into the pond by the sediments in the stormwater.

The timing of stormwater inspections and maintenance is important to ensure the health of
downstream water bodies and adequate treatment of stormwater runoff. Prioritizing the cleanout
schedule for stormwater ponds ensures the dollars spent by the City on stormwater maintenance
are optimally allocated to ponds that require cleanout to return to original treatment levels. If a
filled basin is left unmaintained, its effectiveness at removing pollutants will continue to
decrease and it may reach the end of its life cycle prematurely.
The purpose of this Stormwater Pond Management Plan is to provide guidance concerning the
planning and execution of pond maintenance activities within the City. This includes:
1. Routine field verification and calibration of the City’s Storm Water Asset Management
Program (SWAMP),
2. Prioritizing ponds for inspection,
3. Prioritizing ponds for maintenance,
4. Conducting inspections and maintenance,
5. BMP retrofitting options, and
6. Cost estimates for these activities.
Stormwater Asset Management Program
The City utilizes a Stormwater Asset Management Program (SWAMP) to inventory, document,
and prioritize inspection and maintenance activities, and generate lifecycle estimates for
constructed ponds. SWAMP provides a standard rating system to help prioritize maintenance
activities. A score is calculated using user provided inputs including construction year, pond
area, drainage area, impervious percentage, estimated loading rate, and receiving water body.
The score is derived from comparing these variables against Nation Urban Runoff Program
(NURP) pond design standards.
Newly constructed ponds will have a SWAMP score of 100, while a pond that is at the end of its
life expectancy or have a large amount of sediment deposition will have a SWAMP score of 40
or less. A score between 40 and 80 is an indication that maintenance should be evaluated.
SWAMP also provides estimates for water quality performance for total suspended solids (TSS)
and total phosphorus (TP) removal efficiency.
To ensure the scores produced by SWAMP are accurate, annual updates should be incorporated
into the program to reflect changes to the stormwater basin, drainage areas, and structural BMP
data sets in areas that have been recently changed.

2020 Comprehensive Survey
In the summer of 2020, City field staff conducted comprehensive bathymetric surveys on nearly
all 250 of its City owned stormwater ponds. The purpose of these surveys was to ensure that
SWAMP had the most recent average depth data as it calculates the SWAMP score for each
pond.
Beyond just pond depth, the quality and condition of the infrastructure, and setting around the
pond also plays an important role in contributing to specific stormwater pond functionality. For
example, each pond has one or more inlets that bring stormwater runoff into the pond, an outlet
that discharges stormwater out of the pond, a buffer and surrounding area that filters out
nutrients, etc. These conditions are entered into Cartegraph (the City’s Asset Management
software) which calculates an Overall Condition Index (OCI) for the elements. The OCI
becomes important to evaluate, along with the SWAMP score, when considering which ponds
need maintenance. As such, the City worked with a consultant, along with City GIS staff, to
develop and implement a comprehensive stormwater pond inspection process. This involved the
creation of an inspection form to quantify these factors when looking at a pond. An example of
the inspection form can be found in Appendix B. Some of these factors include erosion around
inlets/outlet pipes, sediment buildup around the structures, width of vegetated buffer, etc. All of
this data was compiled and City staff gave certain conditions more or less weight in order to
determine the OCI.
It should be noted that SWAMP only calculates a score for wet ponds, and not other types of
stormwater BMPs that do not hold water, such as infiltration basins, check dams, raingardens,
iron enhanced sand filters, etc. These types of BMP’s are still inspected and given an OCI,
however they cannot be compared relative to its SWAMP score. As such, this maintenance plan
is only intended to address the wet ponds in the City.
The City had not ever undertaken a comprehensive survey such as this, and some basins had not
been inspected in several years. Since the City is required, per its MS4 permit, to survey 20% of
the ponds each year, the City will use that number as the minimum number each year when
planning for pond surveys, and not complete the comprehensive surveys of all of the ponds each
year. The process for selecting basins for surveying and inspection shall follow the general
guidance listed below:
1. Ponds with incomplete and/or unknown data such as avg. depth, construction dates, etc.
2. Ponds with low SWAMP scores.
3. Ponds which are adjacent to upcoming construction projects.
4. Ponds which treat stormwater tributary to a water body that has an approved Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirement and/or are impaired.
5. Ponds that show symptoms of WQ issues, such as the presence of algae/duckweed.

Pond Evaluation
The City will use both the SWAMP score and the OCI score, along with a number of other
factors, such as maintenance cost, receiving water body, etc. to prioritize which ponds will need
maintenance. The table below shows the 20 ponds that have the lowest Inspected OCI/SWAMP
score, along with an initial proposal about how that pond will be addressed. These 20 ponds can
also be seen on the map in Appendix C.
Using historical pond survey data, the City can identify inspection and maintenance needs based
on the following criteria:
If a basin has an Inspected OCI/SWAMP score of less than 40 or observed quality issues:

A pond feasibility memorandum should be completed. This memorandum should outline
maintenance and/or improvement options based on the identified deficiencies and
treatment goals for the basin. In addition, background information should be investigated
at this time to provide further detail on any potential maintenance. Material quantities
would be estimated at this time for construction and budget planning. These feasibility
memorandums are typically completed by consultants and generally can cost
approximately $10,000 each.
o Once the feasibility memorandum is completed, the City can budget and schedule
the maintenance and construction activities.
o This should include collection of sediment samples in accordance with MPCA
Guidance “Managing Stormwater Sediment Best Management Practices” to
identify material disposal requirements. Contaminated material can have a
significant impact on the project budget, so sampling should be completed as soon
as the basin is identified for dredge maintenance.
If a basin has an Inspected OCI/SWAMP score greater than 80:
The City will likely take no immediate action and continue to monitor the basin per the
MS4 permit requirements.
If a basin has an Inspected OCI/SWAMP score between 40 and 80:
The basin may need to be resurveyed the in the next few years to reevaluate maintenance
needs.
Pond feasibility memorandums are highly recommended before pursuing cleanout operations for
ponds identified for maintenance. These memorandums identify permitting requirements, access
issues or needs related to clean-out, and potential inlet and outlet improvements. Also included is
a review of historical data, a field inspection of the basin and bathymetric survey, and updating
the SWAMP application to reflect the survey.
Pond feasibility memorandums identify a tailored cleanout plan for each pond to restore optimal
treatment efficiency, rather than maximum efficiency. Significant cost reductions occur when a
pond is identified for a partial cleanout (i.e. inlet dredging) rather than a full pond cleanout. A
partial cleanout has been found to be effective in achieving stormwater treatment goals while
simultaneously reducing excavation costs. For example, a pond may be cleaned so that it returns
to 80% functionality for half the cost it would take to return to 85% functionality, saving the City
a significant amount of money.
Stormwater Pond Management Plan
October 2020
Page 7
If a pond’s overall functionality is adjusted during maintenance operations, SWAMP is also
updated so that the program calculations are adjusted according to these changes. SWAMP
recalculates the stormwater treatment capacity of the basin so that the program returns an
accurate SWAMP score.
Construction Methods
There are a number of construction methods to actually perform a pond cleanout. The most
common method is a winter cleanout. This involves waiting until the water in the pond and the
surrounding ground has frozen. The ice is broken into chunks and removed from the pond. The
sediment is then excavated out of the pond and disposed of. The ice is put back into the pond,
where it will melt in the spring. Another method involves pumping the liquid water from the
pond into a temporary holding area (usually a truck with a tank). The water is drained and
returned to the pond leaving behind the sediment for disposal. Another method is dredging
sediment directly out of the pond with limited or no dewatering at all. All of these methods have
inherent challenges and the same method is not always the best method based on the specific
pond. The pond feasibility memorandum will evaluate the most cost effective sediment removal
method. Note that disposal costs of dredged material can vary significantly if testing shows
contamination of the sediment.
BMP Retrofits
When ponds and other BMPs are no longer meeting their designed objectives, retrofits may be
considered as opposed to complete replacement of the BMP. Many retrofits are needed or
designed based on changing regulatory conditions. BMPs constructed before 2013 were typically
designed based on the TP-40 rainfall standards. In 2013, NOAA released the Atlas-14 rainfall
data for the state of Minnesota. The Atlas-14 data predicted over a 1.0-inch increase in
precipitation depth for the modeled 100-year event in many areas, therefore BMPs constructed
before 2013 may be undersized for flood prevention based on current rainfall modeling.
Retrofitting of a BMP may also be desired if the BMP cannot achieve adequate WQ treatment
performance based on updated thresholds, which in some cases have become more stringent
overtime. The following are three examples of common BMP retrofit options that are often
considered.
Outlet Control Structures (OCS)
o Outlet control structures are engineered devices that help to control water level
and outflow rate of water discharging from the BMP. Modifications to these
structures can many times improve treatment provided by the BMP. These
structures typically have openings of varying sizes that can be easily modified.
Outlet control structures can also contain skimmer designs for preventing floating
and settling debris from continuing downstream.
Stormwater Pond Management Plan
October 2020
Page 8
Pretreatment
o Pretreatment structures are BMPs designed to catch and settle stormwater
particulates and pollutants prior to discharge into the primary BMP. These
systems are often small and require frequent maintenance. They are intended to
extend the functional life of the downstream BMP and provide easier
maintenance. Examples of pretreatment include, but are not limited to, pond
forebays, sumps, a SAFL Baffle, and hydrodynamic separators.
Filtration/Biofiltration
o In areas where soils, ground water, contamination, or bedrock prohibit infiltration,
filtration or biofiltration BMPs should be considered. Filtration BMPs function
primarily as a rate control and water treatment structure and are not intended for
volume reduction. Stormwater is temporarily retained within the BMP, then
filtered through a filter media. It is then collected in perforated drain tile beneath
the media and discharged back into the storm sewer system. Many permitting
agencies consider this as treating less than 100 percent of the pollutants contained
within the filtered volume. Filtration benches or areas can be added to ponds if
conditions are appropriate to retrofit a pond. Iron Enhanced Sand Filtration
(IESF) is another tool that can be utilized if a higher level of WQ treatment is
desired or required.
Funding Sources and Estimated Costs
Currently, the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) has two different funding sources for
annual stormwater maintenance. The first is CIP Project # SWMP-032, Stormwater Pond
Improvements. This program has $300,000 budgeted per year and is intended to provide
inspection and cleaning of the City’s stormwater ponds. This work may include sediment
removal, placement of blanket, rip-rap, or other erosion control BMPs, vegetation management
and assessment, and repair and replacement of inlet and outlet structures.
The second funding source is CIP Project # SWMP-045, Storm Water Infrastructure
Maintenance/Replacement. This program has $50,000 budgeted per year and is an annual
maintenance budget intended to maintain or replace failing or deficient public storm water
infrastructure. In some instances public works staff can complete the work in house and pay for
materials out of this fund, in other instances a contractor may be needed to complete the work.
The SWAMP program allows for budgeting and cost estimation for pond cleanout projects.
Using a minimum excavation cost of $10,000 per pond, and an estimated excavation cost of $30
per cubic-yard, the current estimation of the most immediate needs (i.e the ponds that SWAMP
say should be cleaned out in 2020 or are past due for a cleanout) is $5,400,000. With the current
budget of $300,000 per year for pond clean out projects, it would take approximately 18 years to
clean these ponds. In addition to pond clean outs, more minor stormwater improvements
frequently need to be made to the infrastructure associated with the ponds. This includes, but is
Stormwater Pond Management Plan
October 2020
Page 9
not limited to, inlet/outlet repair, regrading of pond slopes and berms, rip-rap placement, etc.
Using $10,000 as an average cost of these improvements, and the assumption that any
infrastructure with an inspected OCI below 80 will require maintenance, an additional
$1,300,000 dollars is needed to complete these improvements. With the current budget of
$50,000 per year for these improvements, it would take approximately 26 years to complete
these improvements.
Another potential for increased costs is contaminated sediment. Before a pond cleanout is
performed, the sediment will be tested to see if certain factors exceed state standards for re-use.
If contaminants are detected, the sediment will have to be deposited into a landfill that is
designed to handle it. It often costs considerably more to deposit contaminated sediment at such
a landfill, however even more significant fines or penalties can be assessed to the City if the
materials are not deposited property.

Stormwater Pond
Management Plan
Matt Unmacht, Water Resources Coordinator
Charlie Howley, City Engineer/Public Works Director
What is a stormwater pond?
•Stormwater ponds, often called “wet ponds” are designed to remove
pollutants from runoff…..this is referred to as Water Quality (WQ)
treatment
•The primary method of WQ treatment for ponds is trapping sediment
•After time, this sediment builds up and the ponds ability to provide
treatment decreases
•Therefore, to effectively manage stormwater runoff and to protect
downstream waterbodies, ponds need to be routinely inspected and
eventually cleaned out
•The inspections consist of depth measurements and visual inspections of
the inlets and outlet pipe and the pond surroundings
•There are over 250 “wet ponds” in the City
Regulatory obligation
•The City must also inspect and maintain its stormwater ponds in
order to stay in compliance with the City’s National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) permit.
•The City must annually submit MS4 permit information to the MPCA .
•Additionally, inspection and maintenance help achieve its WQ goals
identified in the City’s Local Surface Water Management Plan
(LSWMP).
MS4 compliance
•In order to stay compliant with the City’s MS4 permit, 20% of the
stormwater ponds in the City each year must be inspected, and all
stormwater ponds within 5 years.
•The permit states:
•“Based on inspection findings, the permittee shall determine if repair,
replacement, or maintenance measures are necessary in order to ensure the
structural integrity, proper function, and treatment effectiveness of structural
stormwater BMPs. Necessary maintenance shall be completed as soon as
possible to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to stormwater”
In-house work
•Some of the maintenance activities that are necessary on a pond or
around a structure can be done by our PW staff
•These include activities such as sediment delta cleanout and
vegetation management around an inlet or outlet
In-house work cont.
•In addition, sump structures are a common way that sediment is caught
before entering a pond, referred to as Pre-Treatment
•A sump is a manhole or catch basin deeper bottom sections that are located at the
last accessible point of the storm sewer network prior to discharge to the pond.
•In the sump, the deepened bottom section allows the stormwater to pool and lets
some of the larger sediment to settle out. The settled sediment then needs to be
cleaned out of the bottom of the sump.
•PW staff cleaned out 57 sumps in 2019 and 232 sumps in 2020.
•It is far more efficient and less impactful to downstream water bodies to
keep sediments from being dislodged in the first place by utilizing proper
erosion and sediment control practices.
•If a pond needs maintenance that exceeds the capabilities of City staff, a
larger project would need to be created to address that ponds needs.
Stormwater basins
•Stormwater basins typically have a 20-50 year lifespan before major
maintenance is needed.
•The variability can be attributed to factors including, but not limited to
•Drainage area characteristics
•Impervious cover percentage
•Natural and construction related erosion draining to the pond
•The year of construction also factors into pond life.
•Regulations have changed a lot in the past 50 years, and older basins may not meet the
standards required today.
•The timing of the inspection and maintenance of the ponds is important to
ensure the health of downstream water bodies and adequate WQ of
stormwater runoff.
•That’s why properly prioritizing the cleanout schedule for stormwater
ponds ensures the dollars spent by the City are optimally allocated.
Stormwater Pond Management Plan
•Staff has developed this Stormwater Pond Management Plan. This
includes several parts:
1.Routine field verification and calibration of the City’s Storm Water Asset
Management Program (SWAMP),
2.Prioritizing ponds for inspection,
3.Prioritizing ponds for maintenance,
4.Conducting inspections and maintenance,
5.BMP retrofitting options, and
6.Cost estimates for these activities
Stormwater Pond Asset Management
Program (SWAMP)
•The City utilizes a Stormwater Asset Management Program (SWAMP)
•SWAMP can inventory, document, and prioritize inspection and maintenance activities, and
•Generate lifecycle estimates for constructed ponds.
•SWAMP provides a standard rating system to help prioritize maintenance
activities
•A score is calculated using user provided inputs, such as
•Construction year
•Pond area
•Drainage area
•Impervious percentage
•Estimated loading rate
•Receiving water body.
•The score is derived from comparing these variables against Nation Urban Runoff
Program (NURP) pond design standards.
SWAMP scoring
•SWAMP provides a standard rating system to help prioritize maintenance
activities.
•A score is calculated using a number of user provided inputs, including
construction year, pond area, drainage area, impervious percentage,
estimated loading rate, and receiving water body. The score is derived from
comparing these variables against Nation Urban Runoff Program (NURP)
pond design standards.
•Newly constructed ponds will have a SWAMP score of 100, while a pond
that is at the end of its life expectancy or have a large amount of sediment
deposition will have a SWAMP score of 40 or less. A score between 40 and
80 is an indication that maintenance should be evaluated.
2020 Comprehensive Survey
•In the summer of 2020, City field staff conducted comprehensive
bathymetric (depth) surveys on nearly all of the City owned
stormwater ponds.
•The purpose of these surveys was to ensure that SWAMP had the
most accurate and recent average depth data as it calculates its
SWAMP score.
•In addition to the bathymetric surveys, the quality and condition of
the infrastructure and setting around the pond plays an important
role in stormwater pond functionality and water quality treatment.
•As such, it was important to evaluate these factors as well.
2020 Comprehensive Survey cont.
•Because of this, the City worked to create a pond infrastructure
inspection form, one that would evaluate a number of factors around
a structure, including erosion, debris, physical damage, sediment
buildup, and many other factors.
•This inspection data was then used to create an Inspection OCI score
for basin. OCI stands for Overall Condition Index.
•The Inspected OCI should be used in conjunction to the SWAMP score
when considering and prioritizing ponds for maintenance.
20 Lowest
Scoring Ponds
Next steps
•So, what’s next?
•If a basin has an Inspected OCI/SWAMP score greater than 80
•The City will take no immediate action and continue to monitor the basin per
the MS4 requirements
•If a basin has an Inspected OCI/SWAMP score between 40 and 80
•The basin may need to be resurveyed in the next few years to re-evaulate
maintenance needs.
•If a basin has an Inspected OCI/SWAMP score below 40
•A pond feasibility memorandum should be completed (see next slide).
Pond Feasibility Memorandum
•A pond feasibility memorandum outlines maintenance and/or
improvement options based on identified deficiencies and treatment
goals for each basin.
•This includes collecting sediment samples in accordance with MPCA
guidance of material disposal. Contaminated material can have
significant impact on the project budget.
•These memorandums are typically completed by a consultant and
generally cost around $10,000.
Current Estimated Costs
•The SWAMP program allows for budgeting and cost estimation for
pond cleanout projects. Using a minimum excavation cost of $10,000
per pond, and an estimated excavation cost of $30 per cubic-yard,
SWAMP currently estimates that it would cost $5,400,000 to clean
out all basins that currently need maintenance.
•In addition, using inspected OCI scores, staff estimates that it would
cost $1,300,000 to perform maintenance and improvements around
the inlet and outlet structures that currently need maintenance.
Funding Sources
•Currently, the City’s CIP has two different funding sources for annual
stormwater maintenance.
•CIP Project #SWMP-032 –Stormwater Pond Improvements -$300,000/year
•This work may include sediment removal, placement of blanket, rip-rap, or other erosion
control BMPs, vegetation management, etc.
•With this budget, it would take approximately 18 years to clean out the ponds that need
to be cleaned out immediately.
•CIP Project #SWMP-045 –Stormwater Infrastructure
Maintenance/Replacement -$50,000/year
•This work involves maintaining or repairing failing or deficient public stormwater
infrastructure. This work can be done either in-house or contracted out.
•With this budget, it would take approximately 26 years to complete these improvements.
Results
•So, staff was able to
combine Inspected
OCI and the SWAMP
score of the pond to
create a ranking of
each pond in the City.
•The list to the right
shows the 20 lowest
scoring ponds in the
City, along with an
initial plan about how
that pond will be
addressed.

Subject Consideration of Livable Communities Act
Section 5:00 P.M. WORK SESSION Item No: A.3.
Prepared By Kate Aanenson, Community
Development Director
File No:
SUMMARY
Every ten years, the City must determine if it wishes to participate in the Metropolitan Council Livable Communities
Act. Participation in the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act Local Housing Incentives Account (LCA LHIA) is
voluntary. However, participation in the program provides the City with the opportunity to compete for grants and
loans to support projects that meet the City’s housing goals, clean up polluted sites and support projects linking jobs,
housing and transit.
As part of the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, which was approved on February 10, 2020, the City reiterated its
Livable Communities Act goals and outlined action activities it could use to provide affordable housing.
The City must approve a resolution to participate in the Livable Communities Act by November 13, 2020 in order to
be eligible for any program funding for 2021. Applicants that receive a Livable Communities Act (LCA) grant must
have adopted a Fair Housing Policy prior to the disbursement of LCA funds.
BACKGROUND
On November 13, 1995, the Chanhassen City Council passed Resolution 1995122 electing to participate in the local
housing incentives account program under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act.
In 1996, the City received a $500,500 Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCDA) grant to assist with the
development of the Village on the Ponds. The grant was supported and approved because of the City’s use of mixed
used development.
In 1997, the City received a $190,000 Transit Assistance Capital Grant for improvements with Village on the Ponds.
Two transit shelters were located on Lake Drive.
In 1999, $200,000 was awarded for Chanhassen Family Housing in conjunction with 34 townhouse units within the
Arboretum Village. However, the award was declined by the City.
On November 13, 2000, the Chanhassen City Council passed Resolution 200084 electing to participate in the local
housing incentives account program under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act.
In 2005, $300,000 was provided for the 48unit Gateway Place Development, located at Highway 101 and Lake
Susan Drive (the Livable Communities Act moneys’ as well as MHFA (Minnesota Housing Finance Agency)). Tax

In 2005, $300,000 was provided for the 48unit Gateway Place Development, located at Highway 101 and Lake
Susan Drive (the Livable Communities Act moneys’ as well as MHFA (Minnesota Housing Finance Agency)). Tax
credit was also used. The affordable project was supported by the City to replace the loss of affordable units at
Lakeview apartments which was being redeveloped.
In 2006, the City applied for $200,000 for cleanup of the Moon Valley rifle pit through the polluted sites cleanup
fund. However, no funding was awarded because redevelopment was not imminent.
In 2009, the City applied for an LCDA grant for the Chanhassen downtown parking ramp project. No funding was
awarded because housing was not a component of the project.
In 2010, the City Council choose to no longer participate in the Livable Communities Act.
On November 10, 2014, the City passed a resolution electing to participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account
Program under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act for calendar years 20112020. The City received
$206,000 for soil contamination remediation at the Dakota Retail project from DEED partially due to the City’s
participation in the Livable Communities Act.
In March 2017, the City requested funding for improvements relating to the construction of the Venue/Aldi project
facility in the amount of $715,000 for stormwater improvements, pedestrian and bicycle connections, and renewable
energy features. No funding was awarded.
Additional information on the Livable Communities Act grant programs can be found at
https://metrocouncil.org/Communities/Services/LivableCommunitiesGrants.aspx.
DISCUSSION
Participating in the Livable Communities Act makes the City eligible for funding through the Livable Communities
Demonstration Account, Local Housing Incentive Account, Tax Base Revitalization Account, TransitOriented
Development, as well as, increasing scoring for the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED)
environmental funding and Minnesota Department of Transportation funding.
As determined by the Metropolitan Council, the region’s total need for affordable housing for 20212030 is 37,900
units. Chanhassen's 20212030 allocation of need is 806 units.
Affordable Housing Need Allocation:
Number
At or below 30% AMI 464
From 31 to 50% AMI 197
From 51 to 80% AMI 145
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council direct staff to prepare a resolution for participating in the Livable Communities Act
for the period 20212030.

Mayor Ryan: Again good evening everyone and welcome to our council meeting. To those of
you that are watching at home or livestreaming from the Chanhassen website, thank you for
joining us. For the record we have 4 of the 5 council members present tonight. Councilwoman
Tjornhom is absent with an excused absence. Our first action is our agenda approval. Council
members are there any modifications to the agenda as printed? Alright if not we will proceed
with the published agenda.
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT:
Mayor Ryan: We have one public announcement tonight that’s not listed but we have a long
time retiree who’s in the room with us now. We have two. And Mr. Knutson I know you
weren’t looking for a big farewell ceremony but we wanted to recognize you and share with you
our appreciation for your long standing service to the City of Chanhassen so I’d like to read a
letter on behalf of council to you. Dear Roger, Mr. Knutson, back in 1983 the City hired you as
it’s city attorney. On behalf of the City Council I want to thank you for 37 years of service to the
City of Chanhassen. People who have worked with Roger over the years will tell you that his
commitment to high quality and timely work is rivaled only by his dedication to the work and the
clients he served. Unusual for many lawyers Roger’s known for his reserved nature and concise
responses. His letters were two sentences and the second sentence was quote, call me with any
questions. This is because Roger wanted to give broad guidance to help cities make decisions
and arrive at the opinion that was best for their circumstances. You have spent countless hours
sitting through meetings with city businesses, property owners, residents, city staff and city
council meetings listening to discussion, debate, dissent, emotion, dissemination and decision.
His responsiveness was legendary. Whenever you called him he always picked up his phone.
When asked for your advice and recommendation you used your years of experience, knowledge
of city code, administrative laws and regulations, legal precedence, state statute and Constitution
and stated quote, council may do what it wants. Roger was the go to person to keeping us out of
trouble while helping the council understand the flexibility allowed under the law. He
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020

encouraged city councils to make the decisions they needed to make. In addition to guiding the
city through countless development deals Roger helped the City clean up it’s ordinances, getting
rid of outdated ones or redundant state law. He also helped change land use regulations to ensure
compliance with the state regulations. No small task. We’ve mentioned some of how his
extraordinary work on specific development or a case but there are so many that this letter you
would need a ream of paper to print. We didn’t want it rolling all the way out. Roger has never
been one to seek credit for his accomplishments. A win was the City’s win. No matter how
crazy the environment is Roger could always be counted for his strong, steady manner. You’ve
always been available to provide advice and direction promptly responding to city requests for
information, process requirements, legal standards, ordinances and agreements and contracts.
We will miss your wisdom, your kindness and quiet confidence. Thank you for your service and
enjoy your well earned retirement. Sincerely all of us at the City Council so thank you.
Congratulations. And we will present you with this Maple Leaf Award and council would you
join me with your masks on out front with Mr. Knutson please. Mr. Gerhardt, welcome back.
Please state your full name and address for the record.
Todd Gerhardt: For those people that don’t remember me I’m Todd Gerhardt, 1330 Stratton
Court. Previous city manager for the past 20 years here for the City of Chanhassen and I’ve had
the pleasure to work with Roger for 34 years and Roger was kind of a mentor to me as I started
out in this field and coaching me along, along with Don Ashworth and I got to say Roger is very
quick to get to the point and he wouldn’t keep you on the phone long so he wasn’t looking to get
billable hours up and for those people that haven’t been to his office, and if you’ve been in my
office, there would be paper all over my desk and at Roger’s desk there would be absolutely
nothing on his desk. The only thing Roger had was a file cabinet behind him and city code
books for each city he represented. And in most cases he didn’t even pull out the code books
because he had them memorized pretty much. But the bit story that I always remember is that
prior to Roger working for the City it got to the point where councils wouldn’t make the tough
decisions like you guys make today and what they would do is leave it up to applicants or
developers to end up taking us to court and that is not something the court process is set up for.
And what Roger did is he came in and established strong land use regulations and something that
staff and administration could enforce and to the glee of many judges that did not have to sit
there and try to make a decision if McDonald’s should go ahead or not. And so Roger thank you
for your strong leadership, your wisdom, and your short letters. They’re very appreciated and
your calmness. You kept us all calm when dealing with personnel issues and development issues
so I wish you the best. It’s not about you Roger. It’s about us talking about you and giving us
the opportunity to share our thoughts and appreciation for everything that you’ve done for us
over the years and we wish you the best. I can tell for the last 3 months you’ve got to get into a
routine. You don’t know what that routine is but you don’t have to get up at 7:00 or anything
like that but, and don’t interfere with your wife’s routine. I found that out early. And but I wish
you the best and thank you for your outstanding service. It’s very much appreciated by the entire
city here and your fingerprints are all over Chanhassen so thank you.
Roger Knutson: Thank you.

Mayor Ryan: Thanks Todd. Any other comments? Okay, go ahead Councilman McDonald.
Councilman McDonald: Well as a fellow attorney I wish you the best. I look forward to that
day myself but being an attorney it’s always kind of tough because you’ve always got that one
more client and it’s just like you want to see them through this and so it’s very difficult to decide
on this day I’m walking away so I appreciate you thinking about us and trying to get us to a place
where we could move on and we weren’t left in a lurch without you so thank you very much for
that. And just for the record I want to say that I requested cake because a retirement is not a
retirement without cake but I was overridden so I’m sorry about that Roger but yeah, I wanted to
make sure this was something you will always remember but again thanks for your many years
of service.
Mayor Ryan: I didn’t override. I know I don’t usually eat the cake but I didn’t override.
Heather Johnston: That was my compromise. Roger not wanting us to…
Mayor Ryan: Thank you Councilman McDonald I appreciate it.
CONSENT AGENDA:
Mayor Ryan: Okay next we have the consent agenda. Tonight we have consent agenda items
number 1 through 8. All items listed under the consent agenda are considered to be routine by
the City Council and will be considered as a single motion based on staff recommendation.
There’ll be no separate discussion of these items. If a discussion is desired by anyone on council
or here in the chambers you may request to have the items removed and have it considered
separately on our agenda this evening. Are there any items that the council would like to
consider separately?
Councilman Campion: Yes Madam Mayor. I would like to remove item D-4 to be discussed
separately.
Mayor Ryan: Alright. Item D-4. The zoning permit, okay. And I would like to remove D-7 and
that is the grading permit and development for the Bluffs. Are there any other items to be
removed from the consent agenda? Alright. With that could I get a motion to approve consent
agenda items 1 through 3, 5 and 6 and 8.
Councilman McDonald moved, Councilman Campion seconded to approve the following
consent agenda items pursuant to the Interim City Manager’s recommendations:
1. Approve City Council Minutes dated September 28, 2020
2. Receive Planning Commission Minutes dated September 15, 2020
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020

Holiday Party
7. Item removed for separate discussion by Mayor Ryan
8. Pervious Paver Operations and Maintenance Agreement with 2061 Pinehurst Drive
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0.
Mayor Ryan: That motion carries 4-0. And we will start under, well we’ll move that to old
business so F-1 will be your’s Councilman Campion. D-4 will move to F-1 and D-7 will be
moved to F-2.
VISITOR PRESENTATIONS. None.
CONSENT AGENDA: 4. APPROVE CODE AMENDMENTS REQUIRING ZONING
PERMITS FOR ALL STRUCTURES THAT DO NOT REQUIRE BUILDING PERMITS.
Mayor Ryan: Let’s move to F-1. So old business here which is the consent agenda item number
D-4. And that is the approval code amendment requiring zoning permits for all structures that do
not request a building permit. Ms. Aanenson.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah I can answer if there’s a specific question I could answer that but the
intent of this is, we have a lot of people that put up structures that don’t require permits. They
could be an outdoor fire pit. Fence. A smaller fence. A dog run. Those sort of things. And so
instead of trying to inform them of potential setbacks, encroachments into easements, being a
good neighbor it saves us a lot of time on the front end as opposed to on the other side when it
goes up and we have an unhappy neighbor and we spend a lot of time trying to resolve the issue.
There’s no fee involved in this but somehow the Planning Commission got off on that but there
is no fee involved with this. It’s really just informational. We do have a number of residents
that do call in and ask whether or not they need, if they need a permit so we always try to use it
as an educational opportunity so again just it formalizes that process. We always say to people
so the intent then again is to not charge a fee but to inform people and try to be a good neighbor
and just try to be proactive.
Mayor Ryan: Councilman Campion.
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020

Councilman Campion: That, so I did call last week and I spoke to MacKenzie about this and you
know in detail and it sounded like a permit was required.
Kate Aanenson: It’s a zoning permit. So what it does like if you’re going to put in a for example
you’re going to put in a large outdoor kitchen, then you may not think you need a permit and you
put it up and your neighbor’s concerned about it so what we do is we just ask that you draw it on
a piece of paper. Show us where you’re going to put it. We make sure that it sits within the
setbacks and then you’re on your way. So it’s really just informational so we would advertise
that you just need to check in. It’s kind of formalizing that process so when we say permit it’s
not a fee permit. It’s just checking, it’s a process, the mechanism that we use that we attach it to
your building permit or your site plan so when someone comes in that they know that that meets
the requirements. So the neighbors, we could tell the neighbors yes they checked with us. It
meets the standards.
Councilman Campion: Okay so if tree houses were called out in the write up that I saw.
Kate Aanenson: Well most tree houses aren’t built in trees so if it’s you know so again if they’re
close to the property line or something like that, we had litigation on one that was a swing set
that went in and somebody graded it to make it level and they actually caused a lot drainage in
the Lake Susan Hills area so lots of time people also grade to put something so we just ask a
couple of questions you know to try to figure out what they’re doing so just again it solves
problems down the road because this is what we get on the back end. The neighbor calls hey, the
person next door to me is grading a lot. I’m not sure what they’re putting in. We don’t know
either so we’re trying to do an educational component of that to explain to the residents when
they should call and find out information so then we’re informed and we don’t have to stop and
go back and try to solve these problems on the back end.
Councilman Campion: So what guides whether a tree house or you know the outdoor kitchen
does require the building permit?
Kate Aanenson: For structurally for height. Those sort of things. If there’s gas running to it.
Those sort of things.
Councilman Campion: So I guess I’m not following exactly. So if someone comes in and they
are putting in a tree house for example, what would define if they do or do not require a permit?
A building permit with inspections.
Kate Aanenson: I would guess the size. You know we don’t require a building permit for a
swing set either. You know we just like to know that they’re not in an easement.
Councilman Campion: Right, yeah I mean my concern is just that, I did build a tree house
recently myself and I looked into it and you know I couldn’t find anything that defined you know
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020
6
what size of a tree house. There wasn’t any reference that I could find to tree houses and
therefore what then guides based on this size you do then need a building permit?
Kate Aanenson: Okay I’m going to stay away from the building permit. That’s really not the
issue. The issue is are you in a drainage easement? Are you too close to the neighbor’s
property? Are you over your hard cover? Those are the sort of things we check with on. You
know most of the time it’s building in easement. Grading where you shouldn’t be or proximity
to your setbacks because we do have setbacks for accessory structures so I’m leaving the
building permit. It’s mostly just checking where you’re putting it on the property and are you
grading, those sort of things.
Councilman Campion: Okay so the Planning Commission reviewed this and they were.
Kate Aanenson: Their concern was they thought there was a fee attached and when, you know
there was just two of them so, I mean it was 2-2 so it was.
Councilman Campion: Yeah my concern is just it doesn’t sound like that was really settled or
agreed to you know if it was 2-2.
Kate Aanenson: Correct.
Councilman Campion: So I would prefer that it be.
Kate Aanenson: Remanded back?
Councilman Campion: Yeah, in the Planning Commission and have a more conclusive
recommendation because otherwise I fear that this will just potentially open a can of worms and
pushing a lot of things toward staff that.
Kate Aanenson: That’s fine. I understand what you’re saying. I’m just saying that we’re
managing a lot of ends on the other side of trying to get in the middle of two neighbors and this
is trying to prevent those sort of things but we can take it back if that’s what the council’s desire.
Councilman Campion: I’m interested to hear you know the thoughts of the rest of the council.
That’s just how I felt about it.
Mayor Ryan: Well I’ll jump in here real quickly while the rest of council, we can just kind of
work our way down. Kind of similar comments. You know when I was reading through the
Minutes you know it got a little bit off track in terms of the requiring a permit and I think it was
alluded to that we were considering it as a council a $50 permit fee and then all of a sudden that
caught my attention of you know when it’s used as you’ve stated Ms. Aanenson that this is really
an educational tool. That then all of a sudden it’s going to morph because the thought is if
you’re now requiring these permits then there has to be inspection to follow up on these permits
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020
7
which then will take more staff time and then all of a sudden we’re in a situation where we’re
charging residents to draw on a piece of paper and come into City Council or come into city hall
to get approval of it so it ends up being a bigger deal than it is. You know and also it was 2-2
because some of the commission thought it was a little broad at this point and so while I agree
with the intent behind it Ms. Aanenson as well as what Mr. Walters has expressed to avoid more
issues on the back end for you, if I’m looking at it I would rather have more clarification or
identification as what Mr. Walters said in his report, that there’s really just a handful of things
that are pretty common place that are repeated issues with neighbors. If those are identified in
this policy or in this, you know for a zoning permit then that’s easier for a resident to understand
and follow through and I just get worried about the slipper slope with now going with more staff
time and now it needs to have a $50 fee or whatever it is.
Kate Aanenson: We’re still spending a lot of staff time. We’re just trying to do it on the other
end and I think we just need to work through that to explain it better.
Mayor Ryan: Okay.
Kate Aanenson: If you want us to go back and you know we’d be happy to do that.
Mayor Ryan: Okay. Council other thoughts?
Councilwoman Coleman: Yeah I agree with your concerns. At first blush this kind of comes
across like a burden for our residents if they’re just trying to do something relatively small so I
would like to get a more concise decision from the Planning Commission.
Mayor Ryan: Okay, thank you Councilwoman. Councilman McDonald.
Councilman McDonald: Well yeah I guess I’ve been around both Planning Commission and
council long enough to know that I can understand the frustration about the back end problems.
I’ve seen enough of them so I guess I’m a little bit torn on this. I understand that this would be
something that’s good to have so that at that point someone isn’t building in an easement or
they’re not you know taking care of their permeability requirements. So that’s always been
something I’ve kind of wrestled with is the fact that somehow the City does need to get some of
this information out there. This would apply to like retaining walls that I’ve seen people build
that take up you know permeability and those things. Sport courts where we’ve actually had to
go in and tell people they got to do something with their Sport Court. That’s a lot of money.
That’s a big investment. So I can support what everybody’s wanting is to go back to the
Planning Commission and try to get a little bit more definitive on where this is at so I’m okay
with it. Overall I support the need for it but at the same time I can understand yeah we should
define it a little bit better too.
Mayor Ryan: Thank you councilman. So any other questions or comments for Ms. Aanenson?
If not then the motion would just change to have it return to Planning Commission for review.
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020

Kate Aanenson: Planning Commission yep.
Mayor Ryan: So Councilman Campion if you want to, since you had pulled it off if you want to
make that motion.
Councilman Campion: Yeah so I move that the item be remanded to the Planning Commission
for additional discussion and recommendation.
Mayor Ryan: We have a valid motion. Is there a second?
Councilwoman Coleman: So moved. Seconded.
Mayor Ryan: Thank you Councilwoman.
Councilman Campion moved, Councilwoman Coleman seconded that the code amendment
requiring zoning permits be remanded to the Planning Commission for additional
discussion and recommendation. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously
with a vote of 4 to 0.
Mayor Ryan: That motion carries 4-0. Thank you.
CONSENT AGENDA: 7. APPROVE DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT FOR GRADING
PERMIT FOR THE BLUFFS AT LAKE LUCY.
Mayor Ryan: Next up is for you Ms. Aanenson as well and it’s a grading permit for The Bluffs
at Lake Lucy.
Kate Aanenson: You have a question for me? Do you want me to just explain what they’re
doing?
Mayor Ryan: No thank you, whoever just pulled up the map. I appreciate it. Two questions.
I’ll get to the grading piece but a quick comment about the development contract. On, oh I have
it my notes here, it’s on I think it’s on page 8. It talks about the construction hours and you
know the 7:00 to 6:00 Monday through Friday and then additionally on Saturday and I would
like to you know of the lower portion of the bluffs, I think Saturday work is acceptable and
understandable. I think with that small area on top of, where you’re building right into, right
next to residential to have construction traffic. That is a narrow street. There is nowhere to go
and to have that on a Saturday I think is going to be extremely frustrating to residents so I don’t
know if there’s any flexibility in.
Kate Aanenson: They wanted the cul-de-sacs but they don’t want any noise on Saturdays is that
what you’re saying no noise on Saturday?
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020
9
Mayor Ryan: No so I’m saying that the cul-de-sac to the south, you know the lower one.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah.
Mayor Ryan: You know if construction was happening on a Saturday down there I think is
understandable but to have construction traffic and building going on Monday through Saturday
in that small space seems excessive to me.
Kate Aanenson: I’ll let Charlie, that’s our general practice. Yeah.
Charlie Howley: Madam Mayor, council I would say two questions. One I guess I would ask
the City Attorney if we have city code allowed construction hours can we, with a development
contract just change that? I presume the answer is yes.
Roger Knutson: Your presumption is correct.
Charlie Howley: Okay, alright. So you guys could direct us to change that in the contract. Now
the way contractors are going to build stuff it would be very difficult for them to kind of only
work in one area and not in others so it’s either don’t work on Saturday or work on Saturday. I
really think from a constructability aspect I mean we could ask for it but they would probably
end up not working anyways.
Mayor Ryan: I mean those are two pretty different sites. I mean in terms of access. I mean one
is coming off of Galpin where there is, other than one resident right there, there isn’t anyone
around just like the rest of the whole project. When you come off Lake Lucy and you drive
through that neighborhood it’s, I mean there’s nowhere, there’s just not a lot of space up there.
It’s really tight and I think it would be extremely disruptive on a Saturday and I know that there’s
other developments but most of those developments are more in open space. This is a really
tight space and I just, I think offering them the courtesy to not have round the clock construction
on a Saturday is warranted. I don’t know how the rest of council feels or Ms. Aanenson if you
have any.
Kate Aanenson: Well I would say I’d give them the choice on the bottom half. My only point is
that I’d say sometimes when you have an open area because that’s the area they want to work
first in is my understanding to get open so.
Mayor Ryan: Is which one?
Kate Aanenson: The top piece so yeah.
Charlie Howley: The preconstruction meeting is tomorrow I believe where all those types of
details get talked about.
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020
10
Kate Aanenson: Yeah.
Charlie Howley: We as a staff really we’ve got some maybe some off the cuff ideas of how
they’re approaching it but who’s to say that they need to balance dirt and they have to go from
one area to the other like continually.
Mayor Ryan: Right.
Charlie Howley: So that’s why I say if the council chooses not to do it all, maybe give them the
option on the south area but I doubt they’d be able to do much in one area that they wouldn’t be
working on in both areas. Again we’ll know a lot more tomorrow that’s for sure.
Mayor Ryan: Right. Right. Did Gonyea buy the whole thing?
Kate Aanenson: Correct. Yep, yeah. So one of the things that they had talked about is moving
stuff back and forth and we told them they’d have to come back out and around because we
didn’t want them, that was the residents were adamant about that. That was one that they talked
about when they were going to start the tree clearing. We said no. You can’t work between the
two. You have to go out and around but to Charlie’s point if they’re doing some balancing up on
the top half they’re know more of the details on that but yeah.
Mayor Ryan: Well any thoughts on Saturday construction?
Kate Aanenson: If I can just add one other thing. I know they were trying to get that open. It
just extends the timeline is the other thing so just to think about. So you’re extending that, you
know what I mean? So those days you can’t work you push it further so it’s a longer project, if
that makes sense. I mean I understand the Saturday thing completely I mean that’s a quiet time.
Mayor Ryan: And I get inside. I mean once they make it inside and they’re going the structure
on the inside. I just you know it was painful, very painful for the residents on the south side for
the construction. The time. You know they tend to work a little bit longer. A little bit later. It
is literally in these people’s back yard. You know I just was hoping for some consideration for
Monday through Friday to have a lot of work going on you know however many houses, and
house up top is a lot and then to have it continued on a Saturday so obviously that’s my ask.
Council can mill it over a little.
Councilman Campion: What is the schedule? When is the estimated completion? With working
Saturdays.
Kate Aanenson: I’m not sure but I’d just saying it would extend it for sure if you lose a day.
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020
11
Charlie Howley: Yeah I’m not sure, we’re going to learn that tomorrow at the pre-con. But
without question they were planning on working 6 days and only can work 5. Whatever they
wanted to get done this fall they’re going to be delayed.
Councilman Campion: Right it’s another 20 percent.
Charlie Howley: A trade off might be extending the work hours on Monday through Friday.
Kate Aanenson: That’s what I was going to say or go later on Saturdays or extend the hours. I
mean it’s dark out by, or start later on Saturdays or something.
Councilman McDonald: Is there also a time limit on this? I mean in the contract it talks about
November 15th for the wear course on public streets. Is that part of what they’re trying to get
done?
Charlie Howley: Again we’ll learn tomorrow what they’re trying to get done by this fall. It’s
my understanding that this is just to get going on tree clearing and grading and you know they’re
a temporary mat is what the project engineer is telling me. We’re just trying to get some
temporary roads built for the winter time. Nothing kind of in the permanent condition.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah November 15th if I may, I believe is you have to have, if you’re going to
put asphalt down that’s typically our standard time you have to have it down. Typically that’s
our standard time. You have to have it down. Typically that’s when the asphalt plants usually
close somewhere around there so.
Charlie Howley: Yeah that’s a good guiding deadline because even if the plants were still open
the temperatures just don’t cooperate with compaction on asphalt so even if a plant was open
later than that we wouldn’t allow that but you know sometimes the plants close on Halloween
too so.
Mayor Ryan: And I guess I mean and I understand that. I’m not even talking about putting in
roads or trees clearing. People have blowers and chainsaws going at all hours of the day and
night every day of the week. I get that. I’m talking not even just the noise issue but when you
have I mean we all know what’s going on right now just with all the hail damage in the city and
you have trucks and tractors and cars and everything and there’s just up on that top part there’s
just, there’s nowhere to go up there and now all of a sudden not only 5 days a week when maybe
you’re working but on the weekend you have random people walking around when you’re home
with your family and I just feel like that on a Saturday is extremely intrusive so, and but that’s
just my opinion so. Noodle on it. We’ll go to the grading. I can’t think of another way. Think
about it. It’s obviously part of the entire motion. Is the development contract and the grading so
you can come back to that. You know give it some thought. I just before coming in I got an
email about the grading. I was just focused really in pulling it off was about the development
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020
12
contract but this has to do with the lower portion. A resident along I think that’s Topaz.
Anyway his question was that they’re marked for trees already. I know you walked the property.
Kate Aanenson: Yes. Jill did yes.
Mayor Ryan: And, or Jill did. And that he was very surprised at how far into the bluff area that
they’re cutting and tree removal is going to take place and so the question is, and I answered him
and explained that you know real quickly that that’s just the cut of the road and there’s reasons
for it but, and that there’s going to be reforestation and all of that so I mean I understand but is
there anyway to move that cut back at all or is that what the engineers have decided and then
that’s what it has to be?
Charlie Howley: Madam Mayor can I maybe have you tell me is it in this area right there?
Mayor Ryan: Yes, yes. Yes I think it’s.
Charlie Howley: Okay because these are houses are going in.
Mayor Ryan: Correct it’s where no home are and it’s where that cut is and it’s into the bluff.
Charlie Howley: So here’s why it’s shown the way it is per my engineering opinion. Not having
talked to their engineer about why things are laid out. Right here is about a 28 foot cut. 28 feet
down so how do you, there’s a couple ways which you could tie into existing conditions with a
28 foot cut. One would be build a 30 foot retaining wall right here and not go up that slope. The
economics probably just do not work nor would we, you know 30 foot retaining wall and a little
residential street so what they did is they went on a 2 to 1 cut slope which is even more
aggressive than normal cut slopes which are 3 to 1 or 4 to 1, so this is even tighter than a normal
cut slope. 2 to 1 and then they build a wall. I think this wall is like 8 feet tall maybe at it’s
highest point right up there. So it was the developers and their engineers kind of most cost
effective way of cutting that road in as opposed to building again a 30 foot tall retaining wall
right there so is the question is there another way to do it? The answer is yes. But they have no
proposed to do it that way for I presume economic reasons.
Kate Aanenson: Let me back up on that. We spent a lot of time on that with the preliminary
plat. I know the City Forester did too to get the road design on that. To get the capacity for that
road to come through and not to have the slope too close to the road so there was a lot of
different iterations under preliminary plat. I can’t comment to the tree staking because I wasn’t
out there. I know Jill did recommend and I talked to the City Engineer about it too, between the
two cul-de-sacs there’s some significant trees that we’re going to alter some of that trail to save
of those large oaks that are in that area so we can kind of more field work that when she walked
it with the developer. We’re going to work on that to just alter that a little bit to save more trees.
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020
13
Mayor Ryan: Yeah and I think the, and I understand all this. I just wanted to ask publicly you
know this was a concern of mine when we first talked about because you know this is part of the
Big Woods that is special in this area and part of their back yards and so the concern is that you
know even with the tight grade or the 2 to 1 grade that they’re proposing you know for their
benefit is now there is just significant tree loss in that area and it goes right up to the property
line and it’s just a disappointing feature so I just didn’t know if there was anything that could be
altered at this point knowing that the likely answer was no but just wanted to bring it forward
because it’s just, it’s a challenge and disappointing so, but thank you for the clarification and the
explanation. Especially with the way that it’s cut will help me articulate it when I speak to them.
So back to the.
Councilman McDonald: Development contract.
Kate Aanenson: Work hours.
Mayor Ryan: Thank you. Any further thoughts.
Councilman McDonald: We can table it because it sounds like you all would like to talk to.
Kate Aanenson: If you table it you’re pretty much knocking them out for 2 weeks. They’re
pretty much, they can’t move forward with the project. The County’s been holding them up for
5 weeks to get it recorded so we broke the grading out separate from the plat so.
Mayor Ryan: So no.
Kate Aanenson: But I mean it’s kind of punitive. I think they’ll take the, you know if you
restrict and then they could come back ask later for different hours if things are going well that’s
their prerogative too. I’m guessing the City Attorney said they could come back and amend that
so you know if you wanted to restrict it now and then they could work through that and come
back and ask if it’s working well with the neighbors or maybe some Saturday hours if it’s going
well.
Councilwoman Coleman: I like the option of restricting it right now and seeing, but leaving the
option if they want to do Saturdays on the lower end.
Mayor Ryan: Thoughts council.
Councilman Campion: That sounds reasonable. I mean removing it altogether, if I was living
next to it I don’t know which one I’d rather have. You know a project that last an extra 2 weeks
or you know one that consumes a couple Saturdays.
Mayor Ryan: I think it will be more than a couple Saturdays.
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020
14
Councilman Campion: Well then it would be more than a couple weeks. I mean there’s some
trade off there right so. So whatever you’re saving in your Saturdays it’s going to last so many
more weeks right and the other thing is if you consider COVID and potential more staying at
home, you know you’re equally as likely potentially to be impacted during the week as you are
on the weekends.
Mayor Ryan: Fair enough.
Kate Aanenson: So having said that we’ll have a construction meeting tomorrow so we’ll know
more so whatever you give them they can always come back but not giving them anything is a
lot harder yeah.
Mayor Ryan: Right, and yeah and maybe they have ideas or options or one or the other but I’d
rather you know personally set that restriction. Have them think it over. Think of ways to be
creative with it. Again it’s not the tree cutting. It’s not making the roads. Let’s get those started
and moving forward. I understand all that. It’s more of when really the construction of all the,
you know the happenings going on with the overall construction of that it would be nice but.
Heather Johnston: Madam Mayor just for clarification you just mentioned you know not the tree
cutting…and it’s a challenge because it sounds like we’re trying to tell them what they can do on
Saturdays which and I turned to Charlie. He’s done a lot of project management. I mean I don’t
know…
Mayor Ryan: I’m not suggesting. I’m not telling them, I’m saying let them decide. I’m just
throwing out different pieces of it so they can come back with, if they don’t like not working on
a Saturday and they come back and say well this is what we would like to do on a Saturday and
this is what we won’t do on a Saturday and they come back with us that’s, I mean obviously we
have to have a pretty straight forward recommendation of either you’re working or not on
Saturday and then they have the ability to come back before council if they don’t like it, correct?
Kate Aanenson: Yeah.
Charlie Howley: Yeah we don’t want to get into managing the types of work they can do. It’s
either in that north portion they’re just working on Saturday.
Kate Aanenson: Right.
Charlie Howley: And if we are, if you are going to split it to the south portion you okay on
Saturdays and the north portion on Saturday, we want to be very clear about where that
demarcation line is so it would either be this kind of blue property line right there or kind of right
there. Like this portion of the trail. Is that considered the north part or the south part? We
would need to give them that kind of line of demarcation.
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020
15
Kate Aanenson: That was getting more detailed than me.
Charlie Howley: So they’re going to ask, they’re going to say well can I go down that trail and if
we go ahhh.
Councilman McDonald: Well I just the thing is to the Mayor’s point, we probably do not have
enough of an idea of what they want to do and to just give them a blank check is not what we
want to do either so if restricting them with the ability to come back and explain to us why it’s
important then we can make a decision so I would go with your motion that you’ve outlined.
Councilwoman Coleman: Did someone write it down?
Mayor Ryan: I think you just have to, well I’ll ask Mr. Knutson but you just have to amend the
development contract?
Roger Knutson: Right. It hasn’t been adopted yet so you could say for example if you wanted to
you approve the development contract agreement for The Bluffs at Lake Lucy as presented one
change, the hours for construction are limited to 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekends period.
Kate Aanenson: On the north part.
Mayor Ryan: Do you want to just do the north part?
Councilman McDonald: I thought you wanted to do both.
Mayor Ryan: Do everything and then they can come back.
Councilman McDonald: Yeah because they may be linked together right? That’s why we
wanted them to come back.
Mayor Ryan: I’m flexible with the lower portion being able to work on a Saturday because it’s
not such a tight configuration so, but you suggested that that would be too challenging.
Charlie Howley: I’m saying it might be based on how they stake their work. They may say well
we can’t really do much on the south part anyways if we can’t work simultaneously with the
north part.
Mayor Ryan: Right.
Charlie Howley: I don’t know that. I’m speculating that.
Kate Aanenson: Well wouldn’t we just leave it in then?
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020

Roger Knutson: Then you could, if they, if you approve something and you discuss and they say
that won’t work, then they can come in and ask for it to be amended.
Councilman McDonald: Right. That would be the point of it is that, if that’s not feasible then
fine. Tell us why. That’s all we’re asking.
Charlie Howley: Well I think what would happen is say, they wouldn’t have to come back and
say anything. They’d just say we’re not going to work on Saturdays on either portion which is
fine right? They wouldn’t come back and say change it to say no work on Saturday. If you give
them half.
Roger Knutson: They wouldn’t have to use it just because you gave them the flexibility.
Charlie Howley: Correct, correct, correct. So that gives them the flexibility, the option to
continue to work on Saturdays just on the south half.
Councilman McDonald: I guess I would expect them to come back and tell us why they need to
do it but if you think that that will work and they’ll say ah just to hell with you guys. We’re not
going to work on Saturday. Okay fine, so be it. I just want to make sure everybody’s got the
options available and we’ve made it clear that okay if this isn’t going to work tell the council
why and we’ll debate it and vote on it from that standpoint but the way it’s currently written it’s
too much of a free card and that’s not what we want to do. Blank check. Yeah we don’t want to
do that.
Heather Johnston: Madam Mayor, Councilman McDonald, I think…and their whole entire
schedule is built on our current ordinance and so even if you, so you currently give them that and
they will just come back and say we’re being delayed. And what you’re hearing from Charlie is
that they often work on the construction site as a whole and so it maybe isn’t practical for them
and so even it might be good to give him the permission to do…but practically you’re still going
to be delaying them…and again I’m speculating but they have built an entire construction
schedule on being able to work according to what is currently in the ordinance so that’s I think
what they’re expecting and I think it would be…
Mayor Ryan: And I will say that I am not practically concerned about Lennar’s construction
schedule as I am about the residents that are living there and the interference of their weekend
you know on their Saturday so this has been a thorn in a lot of residents side for a lot of reasons
and I just, if you go up to that neighborhood which I know you all have it is an extremely tight
space and it is literally in people’s back yards and so I just think that giving them Saturday where
they don’t have people wandering around in their back yard would be a benefit. And if they
can’t do it and it delays them and they come back and say it’s going to take us an extra 6 months,
well then I think all of us on council would say that seems ridiculous and you know we’ll
consider something else but at this point let’s see if they can manage the project with one less

day for the top and not the bottom and go from there so Julia, or Councilwoman Coleman if you
are ready for a motion.
Councilwoman Coleman: I am. I just had one more question to Mr. Howley’s point. Do I need
to mention anything about the specific line of anything?
Charlie Howley: I think as staff we can point them in the right direction without it being in the
motion. I just want to feel comfortable are we talking about this line that I’m hovering over or
are we talking about that line that we’re hovering over?
Roger Knutson: You could attach a map to the permit.
Charlie Howley: Yeah.
Mayor Ryan: I don’t have a preference on that line. I mean I would defer to your judgment on
that of what you know what you talk about with them. You know to help with their efficiencies.
I think that.
Charlie Howley: Then I would pick this spot over here because at least it gives them that amount
on a Saturday to maybe start working on.
Mayor Ryan: Okay.
Councilwoman Coleman: Sure.
Charlie Howley: So you don’t have to include it in the motion.
Councilwoman Coleman: Okay. So the City Council approves a grading development contract
and the updated overall development contract for The Bluffs at Lake Lucy with an amendment
restricting construction hours on the north portion of the development to 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Monday through Friday.
Roger Knutson: And allowing construction on the south part on Saturday.
Councilwoman Coleman: Allowing construction on the southern portion of the development on
Saturdays from, was it the same timeframe?
Roger Knutson: As depicted on the attached map.
Kate Aanenson: I think if she just amends the one part isn’t that?
Mayor Ryan: Yeah because it’s Saturday still… So just start again and just do the northern part
because the rest of it…
Chanhassen City Council – October 12, 2020

Councilwoman Coleman: Alright, the City Council approves a grading development contract
and the updated overall development contract for The Bluffs at Lake Lucy amending the
construction hours on the northern portion of the development from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Monday through Friday.
Mayor Ryan: We have a valid motion. Is there a second?
Councilman Campion: Second.
Councilwoman Coleman moved, Councilman Campion seconded that the City Council
approves a grading development contract and the updated overall development contract
for The Bluffs at Lake Lucy amending the construction hours on the northern portion of
the development from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. All voted in favor
and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0.
Mayor Ryan: That motion carries 4 to 0. Thank you Ms. Aanenson.
Kate Aanenson: Yep thank you.
Mayor Ryan: And Mr. Howley. And that’s it for old business. No public hearings. No new
business and so we’re moving to council presentations.
COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS.
Mayor Ryan: And I have a council presentation tonight as we are, even though he’s not done
with us after this meeting because he has to stay a little bit longer after the meeting and then a
little bit more work but we are wishing Greg, Mr. Sticha our Finance Director farewell and good
luck so I’d like to read a little letter for you. Since this is your last official meeting. Dear Greg,
on behalf of the City Council I would like to thank you for your 15 years of service to the City of
Chanhassen as it’s Finance Director. You have played a significant role in the financial health
and stability of the City and we are indebted to you for sharing your professionalism and
expertise in helping maintain the City’s AAA bonds rating. You have managed to keep budgets
balanced and insured transparent financial reporting all while keeping your sense of humor and
commitment to providing the best information for all of us council members to make financial
decisions. Your colleagues will remember you, your stage advice with some of these following
statements. Quote, this council will never go for that. The second one, if it were up to me. I
think we might have heard that tonight as a matter of fact at our work session. Personally I want
to thank you for your leadership of the Economic Development Commission. Your willingness
to take on this new assignment to help with the long term economic growth of the City is much
appreciated. We will miss you here at the City of Chanhassen and wish you the very best in
your future. So thank you for all of your hard work and we wish you the best of luck in the
future so thank you Mr. Sticha.

Greg Sticha: It’s been a pleasure working with all of you. Appreciate it.
Mayor Ryan: Council any other comments for Mr. Sticha? Councilman McDonald.
Councilman McDonald: Yean as I said earlier I really appreciated you know working with you
and you being here and I did rely upon you quite a bit for the financial history and what was
going on and the details and all of those things so I didn’t have to get it that deep into the minutia
so I really appreciate all the help you gave to me and all the council members throughout the
years I’ve been here. Wish you the best of luck going forward. Hate to lose you but I
understand why but good luck and thank you for all the years you’ve been here.
Councilman Campion: Greg good luck in your new endeavors. I appreciate you putting up with
my poorly worded questions over the years and doing your best to get me what I was really after
but not saying properly so I appreciate that. And yeah best of luck in what comes next for you.
Councilwoman Coleman: Thanks Greg. I had only managed you know a family budget coming
into council and you took hours after work to sit down and pour over the budget and the funding
mechanisms and I remember saying explain it to me like I’m 5 and you were able to do that and
help me to have a good grasp on this sense so I really appreciate your time and going above and
beyond consistency so good luck.
Mayor Ryan: You’ll be missed so best of luck to you Greg. Any other council presentations
tonight? No?
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS. None.
CORRESPONDENCE DISCUSSION. None.
Mayor Ryan: And council we have a few more items left to talk about from our work session so
we will have a little bit longer this but for now we will, I’d look for a motion to adjourn the
meeting.
Councilman McDonald moved, Councilwoman Coleman seconded to adjourn the meeting.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0. The City

REVIEW OF 2021-2025 CIP.
Greg Sticha presented the staff report for this item. In discussing the park dedication fund
Mayor Ryan struggled with the items listed in 2025 because there is no funding source available.
Heather Johnston explained that items need to be listed on the CIP for when grant opportunities
become available. Greg Sticha continued discussing the park replacement fund which will run
out of it’s funding source in 2021 and that a new permanent funding source needs to be found for
2022. Councilman McDonald asked for clarification of the funding source for this program and
explained his concern with having no identified funding source except for increasing the levy.
Councilman Campion asked if items listed on the CIP could be flagged with an asterisk as being
a need but with no funding source available. Greg Sticha stated staff could create a column of
unfunded projects category in the park dedication fund. Mayor Ryan reiterated her concern with
moving forward with approving the CIP having no identified funding sources for projects in the
park replacement fund and park dedication fund. Councilman McDonald expressed his concern
with moving forward with new staff leadership and new council that this CIP document reflects
an inaccurate picture. Heather Johnston explained that staff can have additional conversations on
reworking this document. Greg Sticha continued with his presentation regarding street and
utility projects.
Mayor Ryan recessed the work session at 6:55 p.m. The work session was reconvened at

outlining spending, projected reserves in that fund and the need to increase the levy in 2022.
Councilwoman Coleman asked for clarification on the Maple Room kitchen update. Mayor
Ryan commented on her frustration concerning bubbles occurring and the need to increase the
levy in multiple funds which shows the importance for a long term financial planning document.
Councilman Campion asked for clarification on the software purchases. Councilman McDonald
commented on his disappointment that he feels like the council has come to the edge of the cliff
and the need to either jump or face the charging buffalo. Greg Sticha explained that the City of
Chanhassen has the lowest tax rate in the Twin Cities so there is room to address some of the
CIP needs with incremental increases in the future. Mayor Ryan reiterated the commitment to
long term financial planning in 2021.

Weick: So for the record we do have a quorum for tonight’s meeting. Just briefly I would like
to review the guidelines for this evening’s meeting. We are getting good at this but it is a Zoom
meeting so please be patient. I would ask all of our commission members not to hold any chats,
discussions or text messages on the side. Everything needs to be public and through the Zoom
application. All of our discussions need to be public and for the record. As I mentioned we have
one hearing on tonight’s agenda and we will present it as follows. Staff will present the item. It
will then be opened for commission questions and comments of staff. Then the applicant may
make a presentation if they would like and at that time we would also, they would be available
for questions from the Planning Commission as well. We’ll also have a public hearing portion of
tonight’s item. Anyone present may come forward and speak regarding this item. We will also
and have also summarized the emails and we did receive at least one email that will be in the
record and we will publish a phone number and you may call in at the appropriate time if you are
listening and would like to provide your comment. When everybody has had a chance to be
heard we’ll close the public hearing. There’ll be another opportunity for comments from the
Planning Commission members and we can have a motion and a vote as appropriate.
PUBLIC HEARING:
CONSIDER REQUEST FOR BLUFF, SHORELAND, ACCESSORY STRUCTURE SIZE,
AND OTHER VARIANCES TO CONSTRUCT A NEW HOME AND DETACHED
ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6915 HIGHOVER LANE.
Weick: With that I will turn it over to MacKenzie. Thank you MacKenzie.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020

Walters: Thank you Chair. So this is a variance request for bluff setback variance, bluff impact
zone variance, shoreland setback and accessory structure side variance to construct a home,
driveway and accessory structures on the property at 6915 Highover Lane. If this is approved or
denied by a three-fourths majority vote that decision is final unless appealed. Anyone aggrieved
of the decision has four business days to appeal the decision in writing to the City. If it is
appealed it would appear on the City Council agenda on October 26th. Were the motion to be
carried by less than a three-fourths vote it would automatically go to the City Council so with
that out of the way I will get into it. The property is located at 6915 Highover Lane. This
property is zoned residential single family district. It is riparian lot. That means it has a 4,000
square foot lot area minimum. Requires 30 foot front and rear setbacks. 10 foot side yard
setbacks. The property is encumbered by a bluff which has a 30 foot bluff setback, 20 foot bluff
impact zone, 150 foot shoreland setback. The City has a global 1,000 square foot accessory
structure size limit. That’s a cumulative limit for all detached accessory structures on a property.
The property has a 30 foot utility easement for the benefit of I believe Xcel Energy and their
power lines that run across the west lot line and there is a Manage 2 wetland on the east side of
the property. Although that wetland is well clear of any proposed construction activities and I
mention it just for completeness. Little bit of history on this subdivision. 6915 Highover Lane is
part of the Lake Harrison subdivision. This was created in 2005. At that time the City’s current
bluff ordinance was in full effect. The setbacks and definition of a bluff have no changed since
1991 when they were first created. When this lot was originally proposed during the subdivision
process the developer had requested a 20 foot bluff setback and 20 foot bluff impact zone
variance for this lot to allow for a larger home. The Planning Commission and City Council
denied that requested variance due to concern about sensitive environmental features, namely the
bluff, the trees and wetland complex that would be downstream of that. The Planning
Commission had recommended at the time that the lot not be created unless the developer
showed it could be built without a variance. The developer provided this exhibit here showing
that a house could be placed on the lot without requiring a variance. Because that was shown the
City Council approved the lot with the stipulation that the bluff and trees not be disturbed and
here I put in red and blue the sewer and water stubs approximate location that were extended into
the lot. Some abbreviated background on this site. Starting in November 17th staff was made
aware that grading and vegetative removal had occurred on this property within the bluff impact
zone and that the property was being used to store equipment associated with a contractor’s yard.
Over the next year staff worked with the applicant to address these issues. Remove the items
being stored. Restore portions of the bluff. At this time staff explained the site constraints of the
property owner and recommended that any future construction occur in the approved building
pad. August of 2020 we received a pre-submittal showing the home located within the bluff.
Staff sent the approved home site to the applicant and recommended that the house be designed
to utilize the approved building pad. On September, 2020 we received a complete application
showing the home, driveway, and accessory structure within the bluff that is before you today.
On September of 2020 staff was informed that grading and vegetation removal had again
occurred and that the property was again being used to store equipment and materials. What the
applicant is requesting is that they be allowed to construct a house, driveway and accessory
structures within the required bluff setback and bluff impact zone. The accessory structures are
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
3
also located partially within the 150 shoreland setback from Lake Harrison and the cumulative
size of the accessory structures is 1,418 square feet. The application has provided justifications
for this request in noting that most of the lot is encumbered by bluff setbacks. They feel there is
inadequate buildable area to accommodate a modern home. That the property lacks a private
yard area due to the walking trail that is along the west lot line and the presence of the 30 foot
electrical easement along the west lot line also constrains the building area. Just to explain this
graphic, the red line represents the top of the bluff. The yellow line the 20 foot bluff impact
zone. And the blue line is the 30 foot bluff setback. As you can see the vast majority of the
proposed impervious surface, lot cover and structures are located entirely within the bluff
setback. Staff did receive one email. This was attached to the staff report. The individual
submitting the email stated concern that the property would be used as a contractor’s yard and
that proposed attached buildings likely violate the subdivision’s neighborhood covenants. Staff
does not enforce neighborhood covenants but we also don’t like to put ourselves in a position
where we are approving stuff that is forbidden by them either. Staff looked at this primarily
through the lens of the potential impact to the bluff. Existing vegetation and it’s root structure
play a critical role in protecting and reinforcing slopes and soils on bluffs. That’s why the city
code strictly regulates and in most cases prohibits the removal of vegetation within 20 feet of the
top of the bluff and within the bluff itself. That’s the bluff impact zone as defined by city code.
Removing that vegetation and it’s root structure increases erodability of slopes which has the
potential to increase sediment load in wetlands and lakes. Right here you can see the area that
was cut out of the slope of the bluff to create a driveway. You can see a little bit of under cutting
already occurring here where the root structure’s been disturbed as well as soil that looks like it’s
been transported. This right here is the area that was approved by the City Council for tree
removal to accommodate a building pad. For reference the applicant’s proposed house would be
approximately here and the driveway is that this picture is from is approximately here. The other
major lens staff looked at is the impact on the wetlands and lakes. Risk of negatively impacting
wetlands and lake significantly increases when an adjacent development is proposed on steep,
erodible slopes. The setbacks are designed to minimize the disturbance of soil and vegetation
near lakes and prevent the creation of lot cover. Engineering and water resources departments
believe that the proposal would likely cause significant sediment runoff into the wetland.
Increased sediment load has the potential to degrade wetland and water quality. The DNR
submitted a letter that is included in your packet where they have recommended denial of this
variance request due to the potential to impact the water quality. So staff’s assessment of the
variance request is that due to environmental concerns the City has historically acted to preserve
steep slopes especially those near lakes and wetlands. One of the policies in our comprehensive
plan is actually to protect steep slopes whenever possible as well as to protect wooded areas
whenever possible. Variances should always be granted in harmony with the Comprehensive
Plan. We believe this proposal has significant risk of creating erosive conditions. The DNR has
recommended denial due to their concerns about the environmental impact of the proposed
variance. Staff believes a usable building area for both houses and a detached accessory
structure exists on the lot. This right here is a very rough footprint staff drew and measured out
that meets all of the bluff setbacks indicated by the applicant’s surveyor. It provides a 3,600
square foot footprint that would accommodate a 3 car garage as well as quite a bit of living space
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020

especially is a second story or basement were constructed. Staff feels this does represents a
reasonable use of the lot. A detached accessory structure could be built in the northwest corner
here. Staff sketched it out at about 800 square feet again without requiring any variances. When
looking at the surrounding neighborhoods there are no comparably sized accessory structures
present. The design of the detached garage is not what staff typically sees on residential single
family lots. Staff would also note that in 2005 significantly less extensive variances were denied
for this lot due to environmental concerns. Staff searched all variances issued by the City and
cannot find any comparable that have been granted. We’re very concerned with the precedent of
allowing new construction to occur directly within the bluff. Staff believes alternative designs
are possible that would allow comparable use of the property without the issuance of a variance
and for these reasons staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the requested
variances. If you have any questions I’d happily answer them at this time.
Weick: Thank you MacKenzie and with that I will open to commission members for questions
of MacKenzie. You can just go ahead and chime in. Hearing nothing from our commissioners I
would invite the applicant to come forward and either onto MacKenzie’s presentation or make
your own presentation. I would ask that you speak nice and loud. The microphone up there is
covered by plastic so it is hard for the folks on the TV to hear you. And welcome, thank you for
coming.
Peter Eskuche: Thank you. Thank you MacKenzie for presenting that well. Can everyone hear
me okay? I know you can but.
Weick: Can you guys hear okay on the phone?
McGonagill: Yes.
Weick: Okay. Thanks.
Peter Eskuche: My name’s Peter Eskuche. My office is in Deephaven. I’m a local architect and
I was hired by Todd and Kari Carstensen, the property owners who are here tonight and I believe
they may want to just say something super brief. I believe it wouldn’t be a bad time to just say
something quick right now. Because there’s nothing about detail. It’s more about what their
intent is.
Weick: That’d be great. I think that’d be useful presentation. Thank you and welcome.
Kari Carstensen: Hi there.
Todd Carstensen: Yes my name’s Todd Carstensen. I guess the history of this is, when this
came on the market I actually bought it that day which was about 7 years ago because we were
so in love with all the trees and how it looks and how private it really is and I didn’t realize about
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020

this bluff issue when I bought it. But the privacy of it was what we really liked. We’ve lived in
this town since we’ve been married.
Kari Carstensen: 2004 we bought the house.
Todd Carstensen: Yeah quite a few years ago and we’ve raised two kids and we want to keep it
as our forever house really so we like the town and we certainly hope we can build something
there so thank you.
Weick: Okay thanks.
Peter Eskuche: So they hired me to do a design for the home. I think the first thing that I did
was just I pulled out a book of about 170 different homes that we’ve done in the last on really in
only the last like 12 years. I haven’t really documented all of them in 27 years but, and I found
only one home that actually fit in that footprint of the allowable area but it’s like a 1,200 square
foot house that doesn’t really have, it has about a 3 car garage. I see strange stares so I’ll just
prove it.
Weick: We may be able to show the overhead.
Peter Eskuche: Sure so what I did.
Walters: Can you push the document cam please?
Weick: Just give us one second.
Peter Eskuche: Yeah sure. Perfect. So you can see this has a garage. 3 car garage but I would
say a pretty tight 3 car garage. Foyer, stairway, really small. This powder room, family, kitchen
and kind of a dinette. So it’s a really a little butter muffin rush so it actually fits but it’s I don’t
think it even meets the development minimums. So the first thing they started doing was
expanding on how we would build in this area but it became pretty quickly evident that it was
going to be descending quite a bit of hill, meaning that they wouldn’t really have much of any
yard. The only yard potentially would be the trail system which I’m sure you’ve been on the
trails lately. There’s quite a bit of people throwing dog poop including in their yard so they
didn’t necessarily think that was a suitable area safe for kids. And so we pretty quickly, you
know the whole point that they bought the property was so they could build a tree within the
woods and really just have a tree in the house so you can see the contours are very minimal for
the extent of house. This whole wing of the house is actually doesn’t have any foundation other
than piles so we tried to minimize again the impact on the site and try to preserve as many trees
as possible. Keep it a very natural environment. That being said you know we can move the
house around it’s just, it’s really not, you can see that this house really just wouldn’t fit in this
area so I think the main point of the application is that there’s certainly things that we could do to
make erosion better. You could in the front yard put a filtration area that could potentially carry
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020

all of the roof water and put it in the filtration area. If you look at how the grading is impacting
the site it’s almost not impacting the site very, it’s very little impact on the site. If you look at
the tree, there’s a tree inventory site as well. There’s really about 4 or 5 trees impacted here and
about 2 here. And because it’s minimal foundation we thought that that would do a pretty good
job of just staying within the trees. Preserving what they love about the site. You know of
course they don’t want any erosion either. That house then feeds out into this kind of open area
where they talked about doing a detached garage.
McGonagill: Can you speak in the microphone please sir. As you move around we can’t hear
you.
Peter Eskuche: Sorry about that. And so the house would basically kind of open up to what’s
still kind a bit of grade drop too but the area that’s open. This is that open kind of grassy area
and they propose to put this garage there. The site plan that we had didn’t show 150 setback. I
think that’s an adjustment that could be made in the locating of that. We talked about that today.
What we basically are trying to do is minimal impacting as possible while creating a safe
environment for their family to enjoy and really finding that this area is just really not large
enough. I know you show a 3,600 foot footprint. You know it’s just two rectangles basically but
when you try to apply all the rooms and garage doors and access and circulation you know that’s
when the problems started to arise so, and we’re trying to be as compliant in every other aspect.
Obviously we weren’t aware of the 150 foot setback which we could adjust but I’m here to
answer any other questions you might have and thank you for your consideration.
Weick: Yeah thank you. While maybe some of the commission members gather their thoughts
or if they do have questions I guess I would ask if, and you know I’m going to expose myself as
really not knowing anything about building houses right but if that house shifted over exactly
like it was onto the area so it just shifted onto the area that was identified as buildable.
Peter Eskuche: Yep.
Weick: Are we getting into a steep grade there that makes it difficult to do that?
Peter Eskuche: It would be slightly less steep actually.
Weick: It’d be less steep…if you just shifted that over.
Peter Eskuche: Yeah. In all honesty if you move this, this way say.
Weick: Yeah.
Peter Eskuche: So like this basically rectangle corner would be like here.
Weick: Right.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020

Peter Eskuche: You could do that so I think the main reason we didn’t do that was because these
are all really significant maples.
Weick: So it’s the tree cover.
Peter Eskuche: Yeah and these are kind of wispy, a lot of basswoods. Some, a few maples.
Some elm that were kind of light and airy and it was a little easier to put the house in these trees
where these are pretty significant maples so we’re just trying to be a little less impactful on trees.
However of course you know as we know with elm, ash, oak wilt, you know it doesn’t seem to
really matter what kind of tree they are anymore. They seem to all get some sort of disease now
but unfortunately, but there’s a little bit of a struggle there with erosion versus trees.
Weick: Okay.
Peter Eskuche: But we could make a move. I think to some degree it gets very close to, and I
don’t know if any of the commissioners have been to the site.
Weick: I’ve seen it. I won’t speak for everybody but yeah.
Peter Eskuche: But you know you have the high power line tower as you’re getting closer this
way. You’re closer to the tower. You’re closer to the open area. You know right now there’s
just tons of people on the trail so it’s just a little bit more desirable to be more private there and
safe for their family. For their kids. And right under the power tower.
Weick: Okay.
Peter Eskuche: But good question, thank you.
Weick: Okay. That’s all I have. If there are other questions please speak up from the
commission. Commissioner Noyes.
Noyes: Is there a garage…
McGonagill: Commissioner Noyes could you speak up please? We can’t hear you sir.
Noyes: Can you hear me now?
McGonagill: Yes.
Noyes: Okay. The secondary garage that you’re planning, what are the dimensions of that and
what is the primary use of that building?
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
8
Peter Eskuche: So the primary use of that building was just to store extra vehicles. They do
have a lot of miscellaneous shaped size vehicles so I don’t have my drawings handy. I don’t
know if MacKenzie can help me at all. I’ll grab my scale and see if I can just scale it off of this
drawing.
Walters: It’s 1,188 square foot structure. It has a lower level of vehicle storage and then an
upper level of vehicle storage and then the third level I believe has two rooms and a closet would
be off the top of my head but it’s more of a kind of open use area than store area I would
characterize it as.
Peter Eskuche: Yeah I guess the drawings are in the packet. There’s a lower garage, a main
garage, and then they just threw some storage above the garage. So there’s like I guess you
could call it a second, if this is called a walkout structure that would be like the second floor. If
the lowest level be at main level then you call it the third floor. You know it really depends.
Walters: Page 12 of your packet has the footprint.
Peter Eskuche: Basically is 45 by 26.
Noyes: Just a quick follow up question. Is the use of that building 100 percent residential use or
will it be used at all for any kind of commercial contracting related type of usage.
Todd Carstensen: I had a skid loader that I use.
Weick: Can you come up to the microphone I’m sorry. It’s just so the folks on the phone can
hear you.
Todd Carstensen: I have a skid loader and some attachments that I use just like to plow my
driveway and stuff because, especially this one that’s quite a long driveway and I couldn’t wait
for maybe a plow guy to come to get out you know so I’ve always had one. I have snowmobiles
and four wheelers and boats and plan on getting a camper so.
Noyes: Okay thank you.
Aanenson: Can I just clarify that too. I think that was one of the concerns that was raised by the
staff so I did do this subdivision so I have some history with this and we had a lot of interest in it
over the years but one of the concerns we have with a space this size was why we recommend
against this is they often turn into contractor’s yards. I’m not saying they’re going to do that but
that’s what happens and then there’s a lot of extra traffic on the road that’s unanticipated in a
residential street and then it becomes a staff’s problem to try to resolve that so we just want to be
transparent and say you cannot run a business in an accessory structure. Even if it’s
construction, snowplowing, gardening, landscaping, that sort of thing.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
9
Weick: Okay thank you.
McGonagill: Kate I do have a follow up question for you if I may. This is Commissioner
McGonagill. When this subdivision was platted before the applicant purchased it would it not
show this lot size and building site?
Aanenson: Anybody that inquired about it they were given that information. The buildable area
and the lot size.
McGonagill: So the developer or someone had to do that. Second question, Lake Harrison. I’m
real familiar with this area. Around here and around that trail quite a bit. I’ve walked it quite a
bit. In fact I was down, went down it this week again. Lake Harrison if I remember right is a
really closed lake. In other words there’s not a whole of outlet for it. It’s not like it can, it flows
well. I know when the Harrison subdivision was built particularly those houses off of Galpin
there was an awful lot of sensitivity to filtration into the, filtration into Lake Harrison, is that
correct?
Walters: I’ll defer to our Water Resources Coordinator for that question.
Unmacht: Thank you. Can you repeat that one more time?
McGonagill: I can’t hear you.
Unmacht: I’m sorry can you repeat that question commissioner.
McGonagill: Okay in the Lake Harrison I believe is a closed lake. What I mean by that it
doesn’t have a really good outlet. It’s not like it’s flowing like you would see in some other
places. It does have a sensitivity I know to sedimentation as well as just plant growth. I mean I
see a lot because I go by it a lot and when the Harrison subdivision was built and the houses were
around it I know there was a lot of sensitivity to that. You know the setbacks and putting them
back particularly on Harrison Hill which is on the other side of the power lines to that to keep
those people out of, you know to keep construction out of the zones and I know there were stakes
and everything through there to keep it looking at those. You know keep out the bluff. Is that
not correct?
Unmacht: Yeah I do believe that’s correct and that’s one of the other kind of concerns that I had
myself is that Harrison Lake is considered a natural environmental lake in this city. Not a
recreational development lake and what kind of ends up getting defined as can be kind of unclear
at times but it’s kind of more or less our code more or less goes by the DNR’s definitions but
Harrison Lake is not listed on the MPCA’s website for any impairments meaning sediment,
nutrient loads, mercury in fish tissue, etcetera but one of the concerns with a site like this is that
excessive erosion into the wetland which is immediately adjacent to the lake would potentially
down the road cause an impairment and it could be listed by the MPCA.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020

McGonagill: Okay thank you. Mr. Chairman I do have a question for the applicant. Can I ask
that?
Weick: Yes please.
McGonagill: Okay Mr. Carstensen, this is Commissioner McGonagill. The question I have for
you, I understand looking at your website you’re a contractor. You build houses. You do that.
You do roofing. When you bought the lot being that kind of experience you had, I mean I agree
it’s a beautiful lot by the way. Beautiful trees. It’s really gorgeous now with all the colors
changing.
Todd Carstensen: Yes.
McGonagill: I would agree with you. So did you just think you could get a house in there or
what was your thought process…knowing your background in construction.
Todd Carstensen: Yeah I thought I could put a house in there. I mean I’ve been all over the state
not to mention the city and I’ve seen a lot of houses that are I guess considered by right by the
bluff. I mean I’m kind of surprised about this actually so.
McGonagill: Okay so you, and to your, you bought it from the developer but you didn’t really,
what I hear you say you didn’t go through and look at the City what you could do or not do. You
just assumed what you could do.
Todd Carstensen: Correct.
McGonagill: Okay. And on the, I guess another question I have, knowing your background as a
developer and knowing what it takes for permits I’m a little curious why you cut a road through
there knowing that stuff.
Todd Carstensen: I didn’t really. I didn’t understand about the bluff thing initially. I haven’t
built a house for over 30 years so I’m not, I wouldn’t be considered a builder really.
McGonagill: Okay, so because I know that I’ve seen your skid’s still there for a couple years
honestly.
Todd Carstensen: Yeah.
McGonagill: I walk by it a lot. Your roofing material is piled there. The other stuff’s there.
The only aspect of that being the logic of using that as a storage facility or not facility, as a
storage spot, did they talk to you about that. Again the logic, tell me your logic of doing that.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
11
Todd Carstensen: I’ve just been super swamped. I just haven’t had, I’ve just been trying to
make money.
McGonagill: Okay.
Todd Carstensen: I don’t have another spot for that stuff right now and I usually bring it back…
McGonagill: So if you would build this house you don’t have another spot where would you
propose to put that stuff?
Todd Carstensen: I’m not planning on working much longer actually.
McGonagill: Okay. Alright thank you sir.
Todd Carstensen: Yep.
Weick: Thank you Commissioner McGonagill. Did you want to circle back or you okay?
Kari Carstensen: No I think it was talked about.
Weick: Okay. Anything else, I didn’t mean to cut you off Commissioner McGonagill if you had
more questions. I’m sorry.
McGonagill: No I don’t think I do. I thought staff’s report was pretty complete and like you
Chairman I went and actually walked that site down both the private drive as well as the power
line. MacKenzie one thing you could, there’s one question I have for you. It’s a little bit
different situation but could you put up the overhead picture of where the private drive comes
through showing the lot size. Okay. Yeah now it shows, it’s the one that shows the private, yeah
that private drive coming through. There is a, when you look at the way that lot is laid out, if I
go off to the left, off this lot. You had it in the packet where it showed all the lots layout. Let
me see if I can find it here for you MacKenzie. It’s on page.
Walters: I may not have it in the power point I’m afraid.
McGonagill: It’s on page 7. I would direct the commissioners to that page 7 of the packet. In
that there is a, if you go down the private drive or go down the power line there is a house there
located right down from that house on Lot 11 I guess it’s called which it’s orientation and it’s
sensitivity to the bluff I would say is a fairly similar situation. Would you agree with that
MacKenzie?
Walters: Yeah both Lot 11 and Lot 12 were, if memory serves me right, subject to variance
requests by the builder and the exhibit you’re showing, you’re referring to the Lot 11 and 12
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
12
detail were the proof of concept the developer gave showing that homes could be sited on these
lots without negatively impacting the bluff.
McGonagill: Right. And on Lot 12 that house, or Lot 11 that house is there.
Walters: Yes it is and it was built in accordance with the city code.
McGonagill: And what was the, the question I have now that they’re looking at it, to the left of
the house on Lot 11 there’s another little stub driveway in there. Do you know what they
originally intended to do with that?
Walters: I believe that is a turn around Commissioner McGonagill.
McGonagill: That was a turn around?
Walters: Yeah.
McGonagill: Because I was like okay I was…street going to go through there. So ideally when
the developer laid it out he did have similar lots on 11 and 12 that were shown to be buildable. Is
that correct?
Walters: Correct.
McGonagill: Okay. And I do understand that the house on Lot 12 is closer to the front, i.e.
closer to the trail and to the power line but that’s just the way it lays in there so I just thought
that was interesting. I just wanted to be sure I, that the other commissioners were aware of that.
That there is a house right down from it that kind of meets the code. Thank you,
Walters: Just so the folks at home can see if you can switch to the document cam of, zoom in.
Sorry about that. Unfortunately I think the colors are going to be a little dark on the document
cam.
McGonagill: That’s pretty close. You can point it out and just kind of, you can see it. It’s fuzzy
but you can see it MacKenzie. So that point out what I’m talking about here. The house down
the way and then where the proposed house would be if you would with a pencil MacKenzie.
Walters: Yeah so this would be the house on Lot 11 that Commissioner McGonagill was talking
about. This is the driveway turn around.
McGonagill: That’s existing.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
13
Walters: That’s the existing house correct and then this was the Lot 12 is the lot that the
variances in question for and this footprint was the developer’s proposed home site and
configuration.
McGonagill: Thank you MacKenzie. Thank you Mr. Chairman.
Weick: Okay. Other questions from the commissioners for the applicant or the architect?
Hearing none thank you very much. It’s useful information and it’s nice to hear your perspective
on how, what your hopes are anyway for, you know for building a home and living there so that
is useful information and thank you for coming and presenting that. With that I will open the
public hearing portion of tonight’s item. The phone number is on the screen. If you’re listening
952-227-1630. While we give it a few minutes for that we did receive as MacKenzie mentioned
we received one email and they specifically requested that it be part of the record and again we
will confirm that that email is part of the record and has been recorded. If anyone is present and
wants to come forward to speak about this item may do so at this time. And we do not have
anyone here. I can ramble for a few more minutes and I don’t think the phone’s ringing is it?
No. Okay with that I will close the public hearing portion of tonight’s item and open this for
commissioner discussion. And a motion as appropriate if desired. Beautiful piece of property.
Would love to putting myself in the homeowner’s or the landowner’s shoes, it would be
wonderful to see a home built there. It’s a nice property. But obviously has a lot of challenges.
Yeah go ahead please.
McGonagill: This is Commissioner McGonagill Mr. Chairman. Yeah it is a beautiful piece of
property and it’s a piece of property that I don’t blame him at all for the family wanting to enjoy
and they should be allowed to enjoy it. For sure. And the, because they own it and I do believe
you know in property rights to some degree. However that being said we do have a
responsibility to protect the environment both of Lake Harrison and the neighbor’s properties
around there. I guess I would say a home and garage can be built. I think there’s a couple of
different ways to go at it. I think it can be built on the pads that are there. As you’ve suggested
Mr. Chairman taking that house down, maybe switching it. Spinning it a little bit. Maybe
reducing the footprint maybe is a way to work that in. I don’t like that all the garage cutting in
through the bluff and going all the way down because I just think that goes against everything we
try to uphold environmentally with our water quality in the city. And similarly with the house
itself so I guess…what this is, there’s a way to build a house. Maybe not the dream house that
the applicant would want. There is a way to build a house there. There’s a way to build a garage
there and there’s a way to build a house and live there and enjoy the property. And at the end of
the day that is the objective. The other point is that the developer, etcetera they had the plats. It
was there. I don’t know the history of whether the applicant got that from the developer or not
but still it’s a known fact that’s there so I’m, I look at it and say the existing site can be built on
as is therefore there’s no need for a variance. And I would agree with staff’s position on denying
the setback. Denying the request for shoreland variance and the structure variance as well. And
the applicant it may not be the dream home but they can still enjoy the lot. Does that, do you
follow me Mr. Chairman?
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
14
Weick: I do. Question for you. Do you have if, and I’m not proposing a solution in any way.
I’m just asking a question. If we weren’t discussing the accessory structure garage type
accessory structure that sort of sticks out into the bluff there more significantly, you know if we
were just talking about the home, does that change anything or is it?
McGonagill: Not really. I understand they’re putting the road element with pilings but they’re
still going to have to work through that bluff quite a bit and that’s just something that as a
commission and as City Council and environmentally we never really allow because we’re so
rigorous about maintaining the bluffs and the structures. What really makes me nervous too is
the water quality of Lake Harrison itself. It is, it’s fragile. I mean they were successfully built
all the homes around it but they were extremely careful with them and the setbacks. I can go
over and over because I saw them all go in. You follow me Mr. Chairman?
Weick: I am yeah.
McGonagill: So I would, I would say perhaps closer to your idea of move the house over on the
site that was approved. Maybe you could put some variances in there a little bit to make it a little
bit more workable but not so onerous but not all the way down the bluff into the flat area. I just
think that’s just, that’s just not according to our code. It’s not according to the philosophy we’ve
been rigorously trying to maintain.
Kari Carstensen: Can I ask a question?
Weick: Not really. Sorry.
Kari Carstensen: Okay Commissioner McGonagill.
McGonagill: Well that’s you know thank you for your question.
Weick: You look like you want to say something.
Randall: Yeah I do.
Weick: I want to hear it.
Randall: The home design is amazing. It’s creative for that location. You came up with some
really great ideas. Unfortunately I just think it’s going to be, it has to be closer to that set
location and I think you’re already doing a lot of creative work. I think you could probably get it
closer to that hopefully. I love the home design. I understand the garage thing. I’ve got a 6 car
garage and you can ask my wife they’re already full now and she’s upset about that so you can
never replace garage space but that being said I, it’s too much of a variance in my opinion and I
think that’s where we’re kind of alluding to before. If the variance was closer to that original
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
15
pad area I think we can work with it. That outside garage down in the bluff area I don’t see how
that’s going to go through at all but the home design being able to utilize the bluff and I’m just
picturing looking over that in the morning how great that would be and the amount of light
you’re going to get coming in from in the morning and that type of thing.
Kari Carstensen: Is there any way when…because I really don’t like the idea of building near
power lines. I mean that’s never been talked that that was okay…so I just wonder if there’s
something you can do to change that.
McGonagill: Mr. Chairman we can’t hear her.
Weick: I’ll repeat it. I’ll repeat it for you.
McGonagill: Thank you very much.
Weick: Are you finished? Yeah and I’ll just summarize what was asked. I guess and it was
stated earlier but the big issue with the proposed, the City proposed building lot is the presence
of the overhead power lines and there’s some concern and I would, I can’t speak to that certainly
but that might be something that could be, I just, I’m not even going to guess.
Randall: No and I wouldn’t know how to go about that too but I understand her concern.
Weick: Yeah.
Randall: And we deal with this a lot. People might get a lake lot and it’s limited on setbacks and
what they need to get in their lot space and we try to work with them to try to come up with a
creative solution on it. I think you’ve guys have already worked a lot on that for just this
property alone but it needs to be closer to that existing print. Maybe figure out what to do with
the power lines. I don’t know how that’s going to work but that’s my two cents.
Weick: Thank you.
Kari Carstensen: Then I have a question then…or how do we go further on that?
Weick: Yeah Kate thanks.
Aanenson: So there’s two options that you can do right now.
Weick: Thank you.
Aanenson: If you want to give them some direction then that would be to table it. They’d have
to agree to a tabling and a certain timeframe. Waive their 60 days but I think it’s good that you
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
16
set clear expectations of what the tabling is to give them direction. We do have power lines that
run along the backs of all those lots so the power line’s not going to move.
McGonagill: And those power lines go all the way through Longacres. They go through
Highover. They go through all those houses.
Aanenson: Correct, that’s correct.
McGonagill: They’re in close proximity to many houses.
Aanenson: Yeah but if the applicant wants to table it the Planning Commission could table it. If
it’s agreeable with them and a certain timeframe and then they, and again set clear expectations
of kind of what you’re going to be looking at so we don’t go through the same proposal again if
that makes sense.
McGonagill: No that’s very valuable Kate.
Aanenson: Otherwise the other choice would be to take the recommendation, whatever that is.
It could be appealed or forwarded onto City Council so but certainly willing to work with them
and see if we can, if that’s your desire.
Weick: Okay.
Kari Carstensen: Can I get clarification on that?
Weick: If so can you come up to the microphone, yeah.
Kari Carstensen: The clarification for me would just be that that still for us too working with an
architect because it’s expensive for us to go through these things. The clarification if we table it
will it be that you as a city are coming to us and giving us an option to help us not get you know
the same kind of result like giving us parameters and such.
Aanenson: It’s my understanding that MacKenzie did try to give you some parameters and you
had your first choice. That’s fine but what we’re saying now is that you know if we can try to
work together to get closer to what the objectives, whatever the council directs here and that’s
what we’re saying is we’ll work with their direction is.
Kari Carstensen: Gotch ya.
McGonagill: And if I may offer something to the applicant ma’am. I have found city staff to be
very workable to try to work with you to, they understand what you’re trying to do.
Kari Carstensen: Yeah.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
17
McGonagill: They gave you good advice. They know at least my personal opinion and others
that we want to protect the wetlands and protect the bluffs. I don’t speak for the rest of the
commission but I know how we feel about that. Then they can tell you from their own
experience, Kate and MacKenzie are very well versed on what they think is doable. The
problem may be that it may not be what you want to hear but that it will be the truth and they’ve
gone through this enough and I would trust them. I would encourage you to trust them to say
yeah this is workable or if it’s not jump the gun another way. Does that make sense ma’am?
Kari Carstensen: I understand.
McGonagill: They’re very good. We trust them so.
Noyes: You know the one thing that I would add, you know your request is, the variances are
extensive and per Commissioner Randall’s commentary, yeah I kind of agree with what he has
said. I always look at these and I think past what we’re talking about today. Whatever we do
today sets a precedent right and so one of my biggest concerns is that we’re issuing variances
related to bluffs. Related to wetlands. The minute we do that we have a lot more people in here
presenting variances that say hey, look at Case Number 2020-20 and they were granted
something so we also have to look further beyond kind of what we’re talking about today and
that like I said per Commissioner Randall’s thing I think the more we move it towards the
original approved site the better opportunity you’re going to have to achieve what you’re
wanting to do.
Weick: And that said I also in, as much as we can to Kate’s point and also to the request of the
applicant if we have opinions and beliefs about what is acceptable and is not acceptable it would
be, I mean there is money involved right with talking with architects so I guess I would ask, and
this might be not conventional but you know, I know I mentioned earlier moving the house over.
If we pretend that that wasn’t going to be a problem with the power lines or whatever it would
still stick over the, not only over the setbacks but it would still stick into the bluff right and I
guess my question to the commissioners would be, if you sat that would you be okay? Because I
think we want to give some direction both to city staff as well as the applicant that you know we
do not, you know we’re okay with encroaching on what’s the yellow line on slide.
Walters: The yellow line is the bluff setback.
Weick: Right.
Walters: And the blue line is the, and I’ll go to the slide in question.
Weick: Yeah that’s what I was looking at.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020

Walters: The blue line here is the 30 foot structure setback. The yellow line is the 20 foot bluff
impact zone setback where the regulations because much more stringent to protect the top of the
bluff. And then the red line is the top line of the bluff itself.
Weick: Okay. And so you know for instance the house on Lot 11, I mean hugs that yellow line.
I believe.
Walters: The house on Lot 11, if I had drawn the same line would hug the blue line. It does not
encroach into the 30 foot bluff setback.
Weick: Okay. So I guess as I say that you know if we could give some opinion on the level of
encroachment and I’m not holding anyone to anything. I’m just asking for opinions here. And
also then on the accessory structure as well. You know to me I, Commissioner Randall said it
really well. The accessory structure I’m speaking of is the large garage I would call it. You
know being out in the flatter area I think poses, to me I don’t have an issue with the use. I don’t
think it’s for us to you know make a decision based on what a projected use may or may not be
of that but I think we absolutely have the right to talk about the size of the structure and location
on the property and I think we should speak to that as well. So any thoughts? I guess I’ll start.
Maybe that will help. I would say if there’s going to be a reworking of this I’m not comfortable
with that accessory garage being located out where it is. And I would, I’d be comfortable in my
opinion going to the yellow line. So over that blue line but to the yellow line. I would have, I’d
have to think more about if something extended past that yellow line. That’s just my opinion.
Would love some other thoughts.
Noyes: I would put myself in the same camp you’re in. I think the accessory structure is a really
difficult thing for me to process right now just because of the level of variance required for it. I
do think there’s ability to relocate that house and like I said I think the closer you get to the blue
and yellow line the more likely I think I would be to say yeah they’re doing whatever they can to
make sure they’re protecting the environment. They’re following the regulations and if we’ve
got to give a variance for you know a small change I think I’d be up for that.
Weick: I appreciate that, thank you.
Randall: And I would concur that also.
Weick: That was Commissioner Randall speaking. Anyone on the phone or on the Zoom,
Commissioner Reeder or Commissioner McGonagill? And as you’re maybe thinking or maybe
not I would, I’m not discouraging a motion either if anyone feels strongly to also propose a
motion as presented by city staff. We absolutely can entertain that as well.
McGonagill: I guess Mr. Chairman I, when I look at it and I’m more of the opinion of keeping
to the blue line if at all possible. If they want to encroach a little bit out of that, okay what does
that look like but it should be minor. I mean the accessory structure is not even a starter. I’m not
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
19
even going to talk about that because it is what the other commissioners talked about it, it takes
so many variances. So my, I’ll reserve the right to vote when I see it and what the DNR says and
what our water quality people say. What our engineers say and I, that always is important to me
to see what the experts are telling us but I agree with you. It’s got to stay within the, to me the
blue line. If it exceeded over a little bit to the yellow line okay but those exceeds and variances
should not, should be minor. It shouldn’t take for example okay they said we go out to the
yellow line. But their neighbor will push it a little bit beyond the yellow line to the red line. No.
That’d be a non-starter for me. I mean I’m really nervous about as Commissioner, one of the
commissioners said starting down the slipper slope quite literally here giving a variance to lots
and wetlands and stuff like that with bluffs and what it can mean for water quality effect on
others. That being said I’d love to see a house in there because it’s a beautiful setting and so I
don’t know if I’m making myself clear on that but.
Weick: I think so and you know there certainly is enough, to me there’s enough disagreement.
You know I, maybe it’s better just to.
McGonagill: I’ll be more direct. I think if they’re across the red line it’d be a non-starter to me.
Weick: For sure.
McGonagill: Going across the yellow line’s almost a non-starter, would be a non-starter to me.
Playing around with it in there perhaps because we know how those lines are but I’d want to see
those to be minor excursions. I mean that’s just the way I look at them because I’m trying to
protect Lake Harrison.
Aanenson: So Mr. Chair I think.
McGonagill: I think that’s enough said.
Aanenson: I think we’ve gathered quite a bit of your feelings. I don’t think you want to pre-
judge but I think you’ve given them direction of what you’d like to see if that makes sense so
you can either like I say make a motion to table if they’re willing to accept that and I’m not sure
we’ve got for the.
Walters: The motion I have is a motion for denial.
Aanenson: No I’m asking about the 120 days.
Walters: Oh apologies. I believe the 60 day ticks in just after the October 26th date so we’d need
that waived or we could take our executive 60 day extension.
Aanenson: Yeah or we could just have them write something out right now which would be my
preference if I can grab a piece of paper. If they wanted to do that that’s one option. And then I
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
20
think what you could say, based on the input that was given tonight as part of the testimony, if
you were to table. I’m not trying to, I’m just, if you were to recommend tabling it then that
would be kind of the information that you provided tonight because we do have verbatim
Minutes then we would use that as the direction to work with the applicant. And you know
where it falls on that line you can judge that but I think you’ve given them direction on what
you’re thinking.
Weick: And then the other option is obviously to vote on, or to have a motion.
Aanenson: That’s correct. You can ask for that too.
Weick: And then, and depending on how that came out then the applicant could, they could
certainly refile?
Aanenson: Yeah but.
Walters: Yes they could reapply…
Weick: What’s the difference between that and a tabling?
Aanenson: Because then they have to reapply.
Weick: And that costs. There’s fees associated.
Aanenson: Correct, correct and so if you feel like there’s room to move on both sides then it
probably would be you know, it would be okay to table it. Again if that’s what you’re thinking.
McGonagill: Well Kate I think it’s, if the applicant’s willing to do it I think it’s a good idea
because I think we have enough of a voted understanding among us that we would probably deny
the variances just the way they’re written by staff. At least I think that’s the, I don’t want to
speak for the rest of the commissioners but it seems to be strongly to that, particularly on the
accessory structure and some of the other stuff. And I think that if they were to table it and work
very closely with staff to come up with a solution so they could use that property and come back
to us I think it would be, that would be welcomed by the commission. Would you agree Mr.
Chairman?
Weick: I think so and I just want to, just be clear that to me it didn’t feel like we had, when we
talk about where the house could be in relationship to the setbacks I don’t think there was a
unanimous opinion about you know how, what type of encroachment if any is acceptable on
behalf of the, even the commissioners so I just wanted to be clear on that, that we aren’t…
McGonagill: That is a good point Mr. Chairman.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
21
Aanenson: That’s why I was trying to say not to prejudge it too far because I think they’re going
go through it and working with us to say you know it may have to go here but for the following
reasons so we want to give that opportunity to evaluate that.
Weick: Just to be very blunt there were some commissioners who felt okay with some
encroachment and there were some commissioners who did not feel okay with encroachment.
Aanenson: Correct.
Weick: And so I don’t want to give you the impression that you know, if you build it to a certain
point it’s, yeah because I don’t feel like, and that’s why I’m struggling with this because there
wasn’t agreement amongst us on that.
Aanenson: Right. That’s why I’m, I think they alluded to the possibility of tabling it so I’m
saying that is an option so that’s why I’m saying it’s up to them if they wanted to take the
motion. Whatever you choose tonight and go forward or if they want to take their time and table
it, I’m just saying that’s an option you could offer up.
Weick: And I mean have you had a moment to think about it?
Peter Eskuche: Yeah I think speaking for the applicant we would prefer to certainly be working
with the City and if we could be tabled I think you know in good faith we really do want to
protect the property so.
Weick: Okay.
McGonagill: And Mr. Chairman I think you summarize it being…
Weick: So we do need a motion then and I don’t know if we want to get, do we need something
in writing? Okay. And it will just, oh for sure.
McGonagill: So should we go on with the rest of the business and then…
Walters: This item needs to be resolved.
Weick: Yeah we need to resolve it before we go forward. And so what’s happening right now, I
know you can’t see or hear, there you go. We’re just talking about the conditions of the length
of days to table the item before it needs to be brought back in front of the commission. So
they’re going to sign that and then we’ll have that in writing and then I think we will need a
motion.
Walters: You will need a, yeah you would move to table Planning Case 2020-20 to be resumed
within and then I think Kate will have the timeline for you to use in one second.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020
22
Aanenson: It would be 90 days.
Walters: Yep so the motion the motion would be moving to table Planning Case 2020-20 to be
heard again within 90 days.
McGonagill: Does that give the applicant enough time to do what they need to do MacKenzie?
Walters: They have consented to the 90 days so.
McGonagill: Sounds good.
Weick: We do have that in writing Commissioner McGonagill. It’s signed. So I would accept a
motion.
Noyes: I will propose the motion that we table Case 2020-20 for 90 days.
Aanenson: I would also say and direct the applicant to work with the staff based on the
comments that was given. Friendly amendment.
Noyes: And direct the applicant to work with the staff based on the comments that have been
provided.
Weick: Thank you Commissioner Noyes. We have a valid motion. Do we have a second?
Randall: Second.
Weick: We have a second from Commissioner Randall. I will pause. Anyone who would like
to make final comment on this item. Again I think a special thank you to MacKenzie and to Kate
for helping us through this one. We will take a vote now. We’ll do a roll call vote I’m sorry. I
was, I’ve been away for a little bit. So we do a roll call vote.
Noyes moved, Randall seconded that the Planning Commission table Planning Case 2020-
20 for 90 days and direct the applicant to work with city staff based on the comments
provided. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
Weick: So the motion to table this item for 90 days passes unanimously 5 to 0. Thank you.
Thank you.

Weick: And do we have any City Council updates?
Aanenson: Yes we do Chairman. Yes so on Monday, September 14th the Bluff s at Lake Lucy,
the final plat was approved. So you see the preliminary plat so just to kind of refresh everybody.
The first three phases of The Park were being developed by Lennar. They had the option on the
upper portion and that property was bought by Gonyea Homes from the development. More than
likely it will be their homes but it could be some others too so those were the 15,000 square foot
lots and there is I want to say 32 just off my head. And those, working right now to get the
grading going on those lots and…were out staking for the tree preservation area and I know Jill
be walking it this week and they’ll have a precon maybe next working to get watershed approval.
They’ve been to watershed 3 times and the County land records had their plat permit but they’re
ready to go. And then there was, I think we talked about the Highover one was tabled. The
other Highover one with the grading so they have…with MacKenzie on that. They do have a
permit in.
Walters: It is currently being reviewed for the engineers. By the engineering department to
determine whether or not it would address the drainage issues or not.
Aanenson: And then the Bluff Creek Overlay District boundary line was approved by the City
Council. And then on September 28th they did the code amendments that you saw or had the
public hearings for. The mylar requirement, the IOP codification and then there was a partial
release of Development Contract for Chan East Business Park. I also would note to go through
the next, we had two items that were, one was tabled so that was, and one was withdrawn
completely so the one on Dakota will not go forward. The one on, it was an amendment to the
zoning district to allow for auto repair. Sharmeen worked really hard on that. It’s a very busy
intersection. People coming through so we had some concerns. I really kind of recommended
tabling. The applicant also agreed to table that too. We just want to work through some issues
so everybody puts their best foot forward on that project so you may see that. I’m not sure how
quickly they’ll turn it around but we do have some other things in the on deck circle and we do
have a 3 lot subdivision that will be on your, on Frontier Trail and that will be on your agenda
for the 20th. So if the Crossroads Auto comes back, and I’m not sure this one can turn around
that quickly either to put this back on, that we just saw tonight so we do have a couple other
things that are kind of floating out there. We just have, there’s no meeting on the 3rd so we really
just have two more meetings. Or excuse me, three more meetings left so I know Matt has got a
couple code amendments. I’d say significant ones for proposed storm water management in
Chapters 18 and 20 that are, those are the ones that go before the Planning Commission. Those
are the subdivision and zoning ordinance. We do have a subdivision potentially for Yosemite.
That is Mr. Ashfeld who was here before so I think he will be submitting an application for that
too. There’s a couple other things that are floating out there but are not always coming together.
And then just on a side note we are busy doing roofing permits so we think we’ve roofed, I think
MacKenzie’s giving decks and fences to everybody else that didn’t get a roof so we’ve seen a lot
of permits this year. So we’ve also had a couple people that came through that did lot splits that
Chanhassen Planning Commission – October 6, 2020

you may have seen and some of those people have chosen not to go forward. There’s a huge
lumber issue right now so prices are kind of jumping up and kind of hard to get supplies and so
some people are just kind of going to wait it out maybe so. So that is all I had Chair. If you had
anything else for staff?
Weick: You know what anyone on the commission? Hearing none I would accept a motion to
adjourn.
Randall moved, McGonagill seconded to adjourn the meeting. All voted in favor and the
motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. The Planning Commission meeting was

Subject Pervious Paver Operations and Maintenance Agreement with 1430 Knob Hill Lane
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: D.8.
Prepared By Matt Unmacht, Water Resources
Coordinator
File No:
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council authorizes execution of an Operations and Maintenance Agreement with the Subject Property
Owner at 1430 Knob Hill Lane for the purposes of perpetual obligation by the Subject Property Owner to maintain
a pervious paver system on the property.”
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
The subject property owner is proposing a pervious paver system as an extension to their existing driveway to allow
for additional impervious surface on the property over the amount allowed by City Code. Pervious pavers differ from
typical paved surfaces and other paver systems in that they allow for stormwater to pass through the oversized paver
joints into a granular soil medium system underneath rather than as direct runoff. The stormwater that filters through the
granular media either infiltrates into the ground below the entire system or is collected into a drain tile and outlets away
from the system, depending on underlying soil type.
Properly designed, installed, and maintained pervious paver systems have the capacity to allow for stormwater
detention and/or infiltration. When not properly designed, installed, and/or maintained, these systems could fail to
facilitate the required detention and/or infiltration of stormwater as designed. As such, it is important to ensure that an
operations and maintenance agreement is in place with the subject property owner. Said agreement shall require the
paver design and installation to conform to manufacturer guidelines and stipulate the frequency and type of
maintenance to be performed.
DISCUSSION
In accordance with the City Code, Sec. 20921(4)a, the owner of a pervious paver system must enter into an
operation and maintenance (O&M) agreement with the City to ensure the system performs as designed in perpetuity.
The attached O&M was developed by City Staff and Attorney as part of this specific pervious paver permit. The
subject property owners at 1430 Knob Hill Lane have agreed to the attached agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approving the execution of the O&M agreement with the Subject Property Owner.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Monday, October 26, 2020
Subject Resolution 2020XX: Certification of Delinquent Sewer and Water Accounts to the County
Auditor
Section PUBLIC HEARINGS Item No: H.1.
Prepared By Heather Johnston, Interim City Manager File No: ADM244
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council adopts a resolution certifying delinquent utility accounts to the County Auditor.”
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
Chanhassen city ordinances provide two methods for collection of delinquent water and sewer accounts. The ordinance
states, “In the event any water service is not paid within three (3) months after the time it is rendered, the city council may
recover said amount in an action brought in any court of competent jurisdiction, or in the alternative, may certify the amoun
due together with penalties to the county auditor to be collected with other real estate taxes levied against the premises
served.”
The procedure for collecting the water and sewer bills is that a bill is generated once a quarter for each account. If not pai
we then send a letter in the fall (August through October, depending on which district the account is in) notifying the
property owner of the delinquency and the consequences of nonpayment. They are allowed to attend a public hearing to
dispute the certification. The list is then sent to the county by December 1. The list of delinquent properties is available in
the Finance Department.
There were no accounts who notified us wishing to dispute these delinquent charges as of October 20, 2020.
Current practice is to certify the amount due to the property taxes, as allowed by state statute 444. There are 183 accoun
with a total value of $99,897.83 to be collected this year. This compares to 196 accounts with a total dollar amount of
$121,771.98 last year. We believe that at least several accounts will be paid in full by the time that the final list is
established in December. The other accounts will be certified to the county for collection with a fee of 10% added for the
administrative costs incurred plus an additional $5.00 Carver County Certification Fee (for properties within Carver
County). Approval of this item requires a simple majority vote of those city council members present.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the opening of a public hearing for Delinquent Utility Bills. After the public hearing is closed staff
recommends adoption of the attached resolution certifying delinquent utility bills to the Carver County tax rolls for 2021.
