VISITOR PRESENTATIONS.
Mr. Steve Scharfenberg, formerly 1470 Lake Susan Hills Drive, is present on behalf of the
Chanhassen Red Birds town baseball team. This weekend, Chanhassen is hosting a round robin
tournament of some of the best Class B baseball teams in the State of Minnesota: The Moorhead
Brewers, the Cold Spring Springers, and the Eagan Bandits. Friday, July 16 is Chanhassen
Community Night and they invite all of the Council and Staff to come out to the ballpark that
evening. He hopes people can come out on Friday and Saturday for the games.
OLD BUSINESS.
1. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF FINAL PLAT AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT
FOR AVIENDA
Community Development Director Kate Aanenson gave a presentation, noting the project as it
looks today was approved by the City Council on July 13, 2020. She stated some things have
City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021

changed from the original approval, including the relocation of the retail which was pushed up
towards Lyman Boulevard. The residential has always been the western side, additional housing
was placed in the center of the site to support the commercial. The other major change is that
Bluff Creek was the main connector, which was a requirement of the environmental document,
as is the connection up to Sunset Trail at Lyman Boulevard. However, the ring road on the
eastern side was then eliminated. The plans changed last year so the Planned Unit Development
(PUD) also changed, they also looked at some of the sign ordinances, wayfinding, and made
some minor changes there which Staff thinks will enhance for the developer and the City. When
the PUD ordinance later on the agenda is adopted, it becomes effective when the plat gets
recorded but is part of the process.
Ms. Aanenson noted there are distinct districts within: the residential, two senior housing
projects, the village in the middle with apartments and specialty retail, large-scale retail, and the
mixed-use district which has the hotel, some drive-through, and the office which are all
identified on the plan. The Council also approved the grading plan on May 24 which is
underway. She showed the plat on screen which shows all of the outlots and rights-of-way.
Currently they are rough-grading the site which will take a few months, finalizing construction
plans in the next few weeks, reviewing sewer and water, submitting for the Transportation
Economic Development Infrastructure (TEDI) grant, and paving the streets next spring.
Ms. Aanenson noted every project that comes through is recorded in the PUD to go through site
plan review, which means they will come in and have a public hearing before the Planning
Commission, it would be measured up against the PUD design standards, give a
recommendation, and that would also appear to the City Council for final approval. Ms.
Aanenson reminded the City Council that this was one of the strategic initiatives. Staff
recommends approval for the final plat which creates the five outlots, the public right-of-way,
and a development contract for security.
City Engineer Howley noted one late add for the Development Contract which will be done
verbally and has been reviewed by the City Attorney and the Developer. He stated special
provision Section B-1 on page 4 of the agreement needs a sentence added: “In the event that the
Transportation Economic Development Infrastructure (TEDI) grant is approved, the parties agree
to amend the development contract to comply with any requirements of the TEDI grant
necessary for the City to receive the funds approved under the grant.”
Mayor Ryan asked to understand a bit more about the TEDI grant and what it will be used for.
Mr. Howley replied the TEDI grant comes about every couple years through the State and is
meant to spur development and creation of jobs. If there was some public infrastructure
struggling to get funded - once that infrastructure is constructed a big boom of development
would happen, which would create jobs. He clarified it is not creating the jobs to build the
infrastructure but the permanent jobs of the use. The State has real interest in that and bonds at
the State level and can dole out to projects; the City sent out a Request for Proposals (RFP) for
projects and there are usually not a lot of applications in the metro area so Mr. Howley thinks
City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021

they have a good shot. At the next Council meeting he will bring a Resolution to support the
submission of the application as the City Council must be okay with what is required of the
grant. This is a way to pay for the road extension on Bluff Creek Boulevard.
Mayor Ryan noted some questions that came in and clarified the website will be updated with
project plans for people to follow along. Many times, there are concerns with grading happening
and dust flying through the air, construction trucks. She asked who the best person to contact
would be.
Mr. Howley replied there is a project page on the website and has already been updated to
indicate the fact that the grading permit was issued and consideration of the plat tonight. The
contact person is Eric the project engineer and is also listed on the website. There was a pre-
construction meeting regarding grading, erosion control, and that access for trucks are all taken
care of and it was a packed room. He noted they have many eyes on the project and are
consulting with the Soil and Water Conservation District to do the inspections.
Mayor Ryan noted there is a button on the project page for residents to sign up and be notified of
progress. She noted another resident question is many in the adjacent neighborhoods are
wondering if there is an estimated timeline for when the public roads (primarily Bluff Creek to
Powers) will be accessible for public use.
Mr. Howley has not seen a targeted date; generally speaking, paving is in spring/summer and
that would be when the road would actually be open. It is a big undertaking so perhaps by next
4th of July they may be driving on it.
Mark Nordlund, representing Level 7 Development, stated their schedule currently shows a July
completion for paving on the road, but it could be as late as the fall depending on weather.
Mayor Ryan stated as progress continues, the adjacent neighborhoods would welcome another
town hall discussion from the Developer.
Councilman McDonald moved, Councilman Campion seconded, that the City Council
adopt a resolution as follows: The City Council approve the Final Plat creating five outlots
and dedication of public right-of-way for Bluff Creek Boulevard, Avienda Parkway, and
Sunset Trail, as shown in plans prepared by Landform, in the 7/12/2021 agenda and
approves the Development Contract, and adopts the City Engineer’s request for a verbal
amendment to the motion. Motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.

2. ADOPT SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE 657 FOR PUBLICATION PURPOSES -
AVIENDA REGIONAL/COMMERCIAL PUD REZONING
Ms. Aanenson noted this is approving the summary ordinance for the PUD.
Councilman McDonald moved, Councilman Campion seconded, that the City Council
adopts Summary Ordinance 657 rezoning the Avienda property from Agricultural Estate
District A-2 to PUD Regional Commercial. Motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to
0.
PUBLIC HEARING.
RESOLUTION 2021-36: CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A METES
AND BOUNDS SUBDIVISION OF 4.39 ACRES INTO TWO LOTS AT 8971
CROSSROADS BOULEVARD
Ms. Aanenson stated metes and bounds is another way to do a subdivision and the public hearing
comes directly to the City Council rather than the Planning Commission. The subject site is
located off of 101 just north of Lyman Boulevard, the area was developed under a PUD in 2008
with a Kwik Trip, carwash, multitenant building, Primrose, a potential future office building, and
Christian Brothers Automotive. My Salon Suites is what wants to go forward and most of the
properties have their own lots with cross-access parking agreements. With this project, the owner
wanted to split a lot and one challenge is that the two-story building meets the parking standards.
All buildings went through site plan review and this building would be consistent to the
architecture and would be issued a building permit. Staff recommends approval to adopt the
metes and bounds for a two-lot subdivision.
Jim LaValle, with My Salon Suites, stated they are excited to bring the concept into town. This
building will have 30 suites and is an incubator for people to run their own business, to set their
own hours and entrepreneurial business without investing in real estate. The suites are leased and
people customize their own business.
Councilwoman Schubert asked if there is concern about parking at this point.
Ms. Aanenson replied no, it is the next building that will come in; a building was proposed and
they are monitoring peak hours, and have informed Kraus Anderson about the uses mix because
the future building can be commercial/office and the City will need to look at the future use.
Mayor Ryan asked which way the building faces on the property.
Mr. LaValle noted the main entry would be to the east into the parking field.
Mayor Ryan opened the public hearing.

Balakrishna Chintaginjala, 8982 SouthWest Village Loop, approached the podium and lives just
on the other side of the road to this property. He asked whether any smart building technology
components will be used. He lives very close in a townhome complex and asked how much noise
or disturbance there will be as right now it is a very quiet neighborhood.
Mayor Ryan closed the public hearing.
Mayor Ryan reiterated the question regarding smart building technology.
Mr. LaValle noted smart building technology is a loose term and he does not know specifically
what that means. In regards to the HVAC systems they are doing very high-efficiency energy
systems, lighting systems, low-flow water, etcetera. The building envelope will meet the higher
standards for insulation quality. Regarding the noise, it will be the vehicles entering the site and
people interacting with their cars going up to the side of the building.
Mr. Chintaginjala clarified smart building technology is in high-efficiency buildings, the
temperature will adjust when the weather changes, so when it is not being used the temperature
automatically goes down. It also has to do with IT security if an attack should happen, and fire
resistance.
Mayor Ryan said in terms of the exterior of the building such as fire code, it is all current code.
Ms. Aanenson noted Kwik Trip has the highest rating for efficiency and in the City over the last
year-and-a-half most of the larger industrial buildings have all refitted their rooftop equipment
including the City of Chanhassen. Most owners working with developers are moving that
direction, so it is already implied in most things going in today.
Mayor Ryan noted an IT security attack would be private to the business and is not something
the City gets involved with.
Ms. Aanenson noted most of the private sector is leading the way on that right now.
Councilman McDonald commented that there is also a similar business of suites in Eden Prairie
he has been a couple of times, and the suites are big enough for a chair, sink, and supplies. Each
one has a door with a name above it, and as for traffic one would not even know it is there, it is a
great addition and a great opportunity for someone that wants to get into the salon business.
Resolution #2021-36: Councilman Campion moved, Councilwoman Schubert seconded,
that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a two-lot metes and bounds subdivision
of Crossroads of Chanhassen, subject to the conditions of the Staff report, and adopts the
Findings of Fact and Decision. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with
a vote of 5 to 0.
City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021

NEW BUSINESS.
APPROVE A REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE INTERIM USE PERMIT
(IUP) TO REMOVE THE CONDITION REQUIRING THE INSTALLATION OF
DRIVING RANGE NETS
Ms. Aanenson said this item is an appeal of a condition for an IUP. This required a public
hearing at the Planning Commission and the City Council must weigh in. Brian and Keri Colvin,
Applicants, are requesting that condition 8, requiring the installation of driving range nets be
removed from IUP 2021-02. The property is located on Flying Cloud Drive and is zoned
Agricultural Estate and is guided for 2040 Land Use as office, and is 97 acres. In July 1998 the
City approved a site plan, IUP, with wetland alteration permit to allow the driving range. In
September 1999 the City amended the site plan to allow a second story over the driving dens and
amended the City Code to allow 3.2% liquor. In October 2006 the City amended the site plan
and granted variances for an 11,000 square-foot addition. In 2018 the driving range was closed.
Per City Code, after six months of inactivity the IUP expired. In January 2021 the City Council
approved resumption of the driving range under the IUP with the condition that the nets be
installed by June 2021. In May, the Applicant requested that the condition of the nets be lifted,
stating that wetlands are 400 yards away and golfers cannot hit balls that far, they machine and
hand pick balls daily, and the driving range had not utilized nets for 10 years previous. At the
2020 site visit stray balls were not seen, and Ms. Aanenson noted the river rose quite a bit before
that, so if there were balls there, they may or may not have drifted off. The Applicant stated if the
balls were driven into the wetlands, they would voluntarily install the nets. Staff’s position was
that wetland boundaries are not always obvious; the most recent delineation (1998, expired)
showed the boundary 275 yards away. From the Applicant’s statements, balls can travel 275+
yards. Even if balls land short of that they could land within the wetland buffer area. As stated by
water resources, significant concern is equipment being operated in and out of the wetland
buffer, so Staff did not require a new delineation to reissue the IUP because the Applicant had
agreed to put the nets up. Now that they want to take the nets down, Staff would want that as a
consideration to where that wetland delineation is. The condition is designed to provide
maximum protection to the City’s environmental sensitivity, recognizing it is a financial burden
to put nets up. Driving ranges typically feature nets. The Planning Commission held a public
hearing on the topic and voted 4-2 to recommend denial of the request to remove the condition.
Commissioners recommended denial because they were aware of the condition regarding the
wetlands and maximum protection and expressed the concern that the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) had not weighed in, and still have not. No members of the public commented
on this request.
Ms. Aanenson noted some Councilmember questions, including whether vegetation could be put
towards the back, but there are wetlands there so putting pine trees or other types of trees
probably would not do very well and die; she confirmed this with the City Forester. Some
inspections were deferred while in the process of resolving this issue. Lower Minnesota River
Watershed District has jurisdiction and Ms. Aanenson noted their rules are perhaps not as
strident as the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District would be, although they have not
weighed in on the issue.
City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021

Councilman Campion asked who weighed in with concerns over the wetland.
Ms. Aanenson replied those were the original conditions of approval granted with the first
permit. Staff recommended sticking with those original conditions.
Councilman Campion clarified the original conditions were set by the watershed.
Ms. Aanenson replied the U.S. Department of Interior and DNR put those conditions of approval
on, and she noted it is a fly zone for birds and wildlife movement.
Councilwoman Schubert noted she is struggling with having a net that is 4.5 feet off the ground,
and asked how is that stopping balls from rolling.
Ms. Aanenson’s understanding is that the balls would hit the net and then drop down.
Councilman McDonald asked what they are trying to protect here? If one hits a ball out 300
yards during the season, can they take a ball retrieving machine out there to pick up balls or is
the ground too wet.
Ms. Aanenson replied they are trying to protect the existing wetland boundary as it was
designated in 1998, and the most impacted would be to the east and to the south.
Councilman McDonald asked what damage a golf ball does to the environment.
Ms. Aanenson replied if there were a lot of them out there it would impact.
Councilman McDonald noted if there were a lot out there, he could retrieve them as he would be
able to see them. He said if he hits a golf ball close to 300 yards, does that mean it is gone and no
one can retrieve it or can they go out and pick it up?
Ms. Aanenson noted either side is environmental with Raguet Wildlife Management Area and
National Wildlife Area, and this is part of a natural, environmental area. Those were the
standards that were put in place.
Councilwoman Rehm said upon reading the notes, it said that the net will not necessarily keep
the balls from going into that buffer zone beyond, but it would keep the machinery and the staff
from going beyond that area so it is a nice marker. She also had the question regarding a net 4.5
feet above the ground. She noted it does make sense to have something there as it is a very
environmentally sensitive area.
Ms. Aanenson noted the Water Resources Coordinator’s main concern was keeping equipment
out of the wetland buffer area. The other alternative was to put a fence in the southern portion.
City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021

Mayor Ryan asked if there is a recommendation on the type of fence.
Ms. Aanenson replied no, it would be standard, not a net but a fence and she thinks it is
something they could get some input on to transition between the nets and a fence that would
identify that as a wetland.
Councilwoman Rehm thought in the 1998 document there was something specifically mentioned
about the type of net.
Ms. Aanenson replied yes, the net was the type that birds would not get hung up in but would be
repelled. However, that is different than the fence question.
Councilman McDonald noted that answered part of his question, what they are trying to protect
is to keep the equipment out of the wetlands. They could do that and mark the limits – they don’t
need a net or a fence – as it would be very easy to mark on the ground where ball retrieval
equipment can go and where it cannot. He is not sure a net accomplishes all of this and is still at
a loss as to why they need a net. He now understands what they are trying to protect and there
are other ways to protect that besides having to go to the expense of putting up a net. He stated it
seems like overkill.
Mayor Ryan’s thoughts are along the same lines as Councilwoman Schubert and Councilman
McDonald, she does not see the need for a net. She is curious more about the need for a fence or
how they could clearly mark the wetland and keep people and equipment off as she thinks that is
very important. She does not know what that looks like or where they would get
recommendations but she would be interested in having staff pursue this further. In reading
through things, it really is more about keeping people and equipment off the wetland than it is
anything else. She knows the DNR is concerned about wildlife migration and wildlife impact and
that is why the nets are 4.5 feet off the ground, but balls can still roll underneath that if one has
that sweet of a drive. She would like some investigation about the type of markings or fencing to
keep people and equipment out of the wetland versus an actual net.
Mayor Ryan asked Ms. Aanenson as part of the motion has to do with a wetland delineation,
what is involved with that.
Ms. Aanenson replied because the delineation goes back to 1998, if the recommendation was to
put some kind of fencing, they would want to be sure the fencing is on the right side of the
wetland rather than in the wetland.
Mayor Ryan asked if there was not going to be fencing but markers, would that still be part of it.
Mr. Howley replied a wetland delineation is done by someone who is certified by the State and
has the skills and training to identify what a wetland is. They go out to the site, spend a day and
mark where the wetland is by visual observation based on vegetation, take soil samples, and
decide where they as a professional feel that the wetland is. The report is then reviewed by a
City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021
10
panel which would be the City, Bureau of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), and various
organizations. A delineation is typically good between two to five years before it is old and
needs to be redone. Where the wetland was in 1998 versus where it is today could be materially
different.
Mayor Ryan noted once that is produced, they could make a determination on whether they need
netting, fencing, or markers based on whether the wetland has moved in or out.
Robert Fashingbauer, the area Wildlife Supervisor for the Minnesota DNR Fish and Wildlife
division is in charge of all wildlife management areas, public hunting, and fishing for Dakota,
Scott, Carver, and Hennepin County. He apologized on behalf of the DNR because had they
answered the request from the City Council or the Planning Commission earlier, they wouldn’t
even be here today. At the DNR, the last thing they want to see is any kind of netting, fencing, or
anything that will inhibit free passage of wildlife. Part of the reason they were not able to be
contacted is because they just closed their Shakopee office and the transition happened in
February/March which is why they did not get back to the City.
Mr. Fashingbauer stated he was contacted by the owners, he went out to the property the
previous Friday, and noted the area is a very important waterfowl and crane migration route, and
especially for raptors, hawks, owls, and eagles, they like to perch on netting and their claws are
so sharp they get between the interwoven fibers of the netting. He has had many calls to go and
pick out a dead eagle or hawk. The last thing he wants to see, especially in that area, is netting.
Fencing is even worse when it comes to free passage of reptiles and amphibians as there are a lot
of frogs and turtles in that area. Turtles come upland to lay eggs, and frogs come very far from
the wetland area in the grass to feed on insects. Most importantly, Mr. Fashingbauer has been in
contact with BWSR and the Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD); those two entities
and he himself would be in charge of verifying the wetlands and would be the Technical
Evaluation Panel. They are all in agreement that it does not matter where the wetland edge is, it
makes no difference because there is nothing in any state of law that says one cannot drive a golf
cart and a ball picker through a wetland.
Mr. Fashingbauer stated the owners right now, today, could go out there with a tractor and a
plow, and plow it up and plant corn right through the wetland area. The only thing one cannot do
in a wetland is fill or drain. There is nothing in the Wetland Conservation Act that would prevent
these owners to go out with a golf cart and a ball picker; he said “if you’re going to do that then
you better shut down every golf course in the State.” He noted people would walk out there on
site and ask where the wetland is, he noted it is obviously a dry year.
Mr. Fashingbauer stated he was a wetland delineator for 15 years before he came to work for the
State. Looking at soil, plants, hydrology, it is all moot and it does not matter where the wetland
edge is because they have every right – there is no State law that says one cannot drive – they
can drive a pick-up through or anything they want as long as it does not alter that hydrology. He
would rather have some golf balls in his wildlife management area than getting a call that
something is stuck in the fence or the netting.
City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021

Mr. Fashingbauer stated when he was out on Friday, he walked around and there were a pair of
cranes with a young crane, wild turkeys, many waterfowl flying back and forth. He said in the
mowed area, the last 40 yards being mowed is wetland area to catch the handful of balls that can
go beyond 300 yards, and that is a very important place for the cranes and critters to come out
and pick at the frogs and insects. He would even go so far (although it is not his business) to say
that the Applicant remove the existing cables and pulleys that are haphazardly hanging from the
poles as that is also an obstruction to the wildlife. He is steadfastly against any netting or
fencing.
Mr. Fashingbauer stated he has been listening and it is all good conversation, but setting a
precedent that one cannot drive a golf cart/ball picker in a wetland, they will have trouble with
every golf course in the State of Minnesota. He clarified there is a 400-foot de minimus so with
all the building projects coming in, they can fill 400 square feet of a wetland in a project without
any project from BWSR, SWCD, or the DNR. He said it would take golf balls a foot thick
covering 400 square feet and if that were to happen, they would have six months to remove. As
an adjacent landowner for the State, they are not concerned about golf balls and there is nothing
that says they are an environmental hazard. In reading past minutes, as far as golf balls migrating
during a flood stage into the Minnesota River, he would really be surprised and it is really not
that big of a concern if they did. He noted the current owners, as with the previous owners, have
the DNR’s permission to go out and pick up their golf balls.
Councilwoman Rehm asked if a City law is usually more strict than the DNR, because even with
the Avienda project they had to move the wetland.
Mr. Howley said the Avienda projects, like many projects, are filling wetlands and then there is a
permitting situation.
Mayor Ryan said there is a City process in talking about draining or filling wetlands and multiple
jurisdictions that have to approve it in order for any type of impeding on wetlands.
Councilman Campion moved, Councilman McDonald seconded, that the Chanhassen City
Council recommends relief of Condition 9 of the Interim Use Permit #2021-02. All voted in
favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS.
Councilwoman Rehm stated on Thursday, July 29, 2021 from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m., there will
be a Town Hall for All presented by the Crucial Conversations Group and Carver County
Sherriff Jason Kamerud. This group has been meeting with the Sherriff regarding various
policing issues and he will be answering a list of questions that have been submitted. People
need to register for the virtual Town Hall in advance and is for all of Carver County.
Councilman McDonald attended all three days of the 4th of July Celebration and he thinks they
pulled off a really great celebration. The weather also cooperated, and he was surprised at the
City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021

crowds as it was bigger than average and it was amazing to see that. The parade was delightful
and he took his family to Lake Ann Park and the fireworks were really nice. He said hats off to
the City and Staff, and to Jerry and the Rotary; they all did a really magnificent job and it all
came together in a very short period of time and they pulled off a really, really good 4th of July.
Councilman Campion agreed and said it is nice that they invested in the higher exploding
fireworks as they were more visible and it was a great show.
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS.
Ms. Hokkanen shared that some information was put out on social media as they saw a sharp
increase in vehicle thefts this weekend, the great majority from vehicles that are unlocked. She
wants to remind people that much of the crime in Chanhassen is a crime of opportunity, and
suggested putting a reminder on one’s phone at 10:00 p.m. to check car doors and garage door or
if one sees a neighbor’s garage door is open to remind each other. Ms. Hokkanen also let the City
Council know that Sergeant Tyler Stahn has received a new assignment as the liaison sergeant
for the City of Waconia.

PUBLIC HEARING:
CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR VARIANCES TO CONSTRUCT A DECK AND
RETAINING WALL WITHIN THE BLUFF SETBACK AND BLUFF IMPACT ZONE
ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6609 HORSESHOE CURVE (PLANNING CASE NO.
2021-07A)
Community Development Director Aanenson presented the staff report on this item, noting the
property is zoned Residential Single Family (RSF) and is in the shoreland and riparian, and there
is a bluff at the rear of the property. She noted the setbacks stated on the slide on screen. The
house is nonconforming to the bluff setback, and the porch and retaining wall are a
nonconforming encroachment into the bluff. The water-orientated accessory structure shown on
screen has a 3-foot bluff setback, 5-yard side yard setback, and a 7-foot shoreland setback, and
everything else meets Code. The proposed project is to install an at-grade deck and drainage
system within the bluff impact zone and replace the south retaining wall with a living wall,
replacing the west retaining wall with concrete, and reconfigure the existing non-conforming
water-orientated structure. Justifications for the project include failing boulder walls, property
damage, and erosion concerns. This was an existing home that the applicant is trying to improve
to make the house nicer, and also improve the bluff and slope. Staff is supporting these changes
and recommends that the Planning Commission approve subject to conditions of approval and
the Findings of Facts and Decision.
Brian and Elise Bruner, 6609 Horseshoe Curve, approached the podium. [inaudible microphone
for a few minutes.] Mr. Bruner said the big change from the previous variance is that they are
adding two feet on to the deck towards the bluff area, mainly to add more space for furniture and
walking from the staircase across the deck. They are also shifting their driveway west which is a
more gradual slope than originally planned and replacing the window well on the west side of the
property; this was previously poured cement around the window and they are now doing a living

wall with fescue. This will help stop erosion, absorb water, and there are planned drain systems
for water management.
Ms. Bruner clarified the highest point of their property is when one approaches the driveway and
it continues to go down and down from there. There is not a lot of flat space and they are looking
for the best ways to provide different areas for people to be on the property.
Chairman Weick asked if the two feet on the deck is in each direction.
Mr. Bruner replied it is simply two feet out.
Chairman Weick opened the public hearing at 7:15 p.m.
Chairman Weick closed the public hearing at 7:15 p.m.
Commissioner Alto moved, Commissioner Johnson seconded that the Board of Appeals
and Adjustments approve a 20-foot bluff impact zone and 30-foot bluff setback variance
and for the construction of a deck, a bluff impact zone, and bluff setback variance for the
construction of retaining walls, subject to the Conditions of Approval, and adopts the
attached Findings of Facts and Decision. All voted in favor and the motion carried
unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0.
PUBLIC HEARING:
CONSIDER A REQUEST TO AMEND CITY CODE CHAPTERS 1 AND 20 TO DEFINE
"AGRITAINMENT"/"AGRITOURISM"; CREATE STANDARDS AND CRITERIA
FOR AN AGRITAINMENT USE AS AN INTERIM USE; ALLOW AGRITAINMENT
USES AS AN INTERIM USE IN THE AGRICULTURAL ESTATE DISTRICT; AND
RECEIVE AN INTERIM USE PERMIT FOR AN AGRITAINMENT USE ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 9111 AUDUBON ROAD
Senior Planner Bob Generous noted this is a Code Amendment and interim use permit (IUP)
review. The applicant has prepared a definition for Agritainment, use standards, an IUP in the A2
District regulations, and is also requesting the interim use for the Agritainment use on his
property. 9111 Audubon Road is zoned Agricultural Estate District (A2), is almost 64 acres in
size, and is guided for Office Industrial use in the future. Mr. Generous stated the property is
surrounded on two sides by the Bluff Creek Primary Zone which is part of the consideration.
Section 20-42 permits Code amendments upon initiation by City Council, the Planning
Commission, or a petition of the property owner. Staff has taken the applicant’s proposed
language, done a strike-through, and bold format with any recommended changes. As part of the
Agritainment definition it was broader as an educational and entertaining opportunity for people
to learn about farming activities. The only issue staff had within the definition is how mountain
biking fits into Agritainment…while they may use farm fields to do it, as part of the plan it
showed going into the Bluff Creek Primary Zone and staff had concern that it may impact that
zone and prefer that use not be included. This was the only change to the definition. Staff asked
that parking be included as part of the applicant’s plan and that they maintain a 50-foot setback
from the right-of-way, including accessible parking. He noted the applicant wanted an exemption
Planning Commission Minutes July 6, 2021

for accessory agriculture buildings, however the Building and Fire Officials were adamant that if
the applicant wants to change the occupancy or use of the individual buildings, they must comply
with all the building code requirements for that occupancy. Staff has added that the applicant
must provide sediment and erosion measures as part of their plan, mostly for the change in the
parking area to be sure they do not have runoff into the corridor and Bluff Creek. They also want
to verify that the roadway system has sufficient capacity to handle the proposed use. Mr.
Generous received an email from Carver County and based on the number provided to them
there were no required improvements on the public roadway system. The only condition was that
the driveway width be determined to provide access for one car in and out side-by-side. Staff is
also requiring sanitary facilities for use by visitors to the site; this would allow either a
permanent facility or the use of a chemical toilet. Staff is recommending approval of the
revisions to the standards for the Agritainment use as part of the interim use, conditional use
criteria. Staff suggests the interim use period be five years which gives the applicant time to
evaluate the operation and allows a request for an extension of that timeframe and also allows the
City the opportunity to evaluate any negative impacts. Mr. Generous showed proposed plans on
screen.
Ms. Aanenson backtracked a bit and said this property is guided for Industrial, so at some point
in the future if sewer and water is available they could convert that. However, the applicants
want to continue to use the farming operation. The mechanism for that is to give it an interim use
and reevaluate. She noted staff is excited about this as it would be great for residents to go pick
pumpkins and do those activities and said they allowed the applicant to craft how they wanted
the operation to go and staff is trying to reconcile some of those things that would or would not
work.
Mr. Generous stated staff is recommending approval of the amendments to sections 1-2, 20-
251.5, and 20-576 regarding Agritainment; an Interim Use Permit (IUP) for Agritainment at
9111 Audubon Road subject to the conditions in the staff report and the Findings of Fact and
Recommendation.
Vice Chairman/Commissioner von Oven noted the applicant had suggested mountain biking and
the determination was made that is not an agricultural activity. By striking it, if a resident were to
complain in a year that mountain biking was happening on the site, there would be cause for a
statement that they could not do that. He asked if something is not in the definition, is it not
allowed and has it been written in such a way that amendments will need to continue in the
future? For example, pumpkin picking and apple picking are listed – would that include zucchini
picking?
Ms. Aanenson replied they could modify it to say “produce” that could be grown on the site.
Mr. von Oven was surprised at 25% of the land being used as agriculture, which is not
Agritainment.
Planning Commission Minutes July 6, 2021

Ms. Aanenson replied that staff discussed if it is a living farm in Agritainment, then there should
be a farming operation.
Mr. Generous noted there are 19 parcels that could conceivably come in and request
Agritainment as an interim use, with a minimum of 20 acres, zoned agricultural. The Degler
Family wanted to be sure people understood that they were not just crafting this definition for
themselves.
Gayle Degler and his son, Todd Degler, applicants, approached the podium. Todd Degler gave a
presentation on screen, explaining what Agritainment is and why the Degler Family wants to
explore the opportunity. They are still a farm and grow corn, soybeans, wheat, and alfalfa grass.
He noted a typo and asked to add the words “Archery/Axe Throwing” as part of the
Agritainment activity. Regarding parking and setbacks, the Deglers would propose that parking
should be removed from Item 5 since they feel it more appropriately fits in Item 6 as part of the
parking plan because of the unique situation. They do not believe any screening is needed for
visual impacts and would request that the 50-foot requirement from the right-of-way be removed.
The applicant proposes to screen the parking with rows of corn which could add character and
provide adequate screening. Mr. Degler also asked for a change regarding the sanitary facilities
noting where it says it shall be serviced weekly, they propose it be serviced as the operational
plan dictates; the reason is that it may not even be used on a weekly basis. He clarified the
average time on the farm is about 45 minutes and they do not get requests for facilities very
often, and it is mostly for a diaper change. The family proposed changing the language of the
IUP to say the permit shall be approved until development of the property will no longer allow it
to meet ordinance code. Mr. Degler also spoke about suggested signage regarding the Bluff
Creek Overlay District on their property and their preference not to have that signage. He also
clarified the hayride route.
Commissioner Alto stated in talking about planting the row of corn on the street, it was noted
that sleigh rides may be part of the future. She asked if the applicant wants to start tracking
toward winter activities and what the parking situation would look like during the winter.
Mr. Degler replied they would park their cars away from that setback in the winter months which
are not as busy of a time. He clarified in the winter they would probably park within the main
yard area.
Mr. von Oven said it sounds like it will be a pretty successful business in addition to what the
Applicant is already doing. He asked why it is pre-determined that this property will be
developed on in the future?
Mr. Degler replied the Comprehensive Plan is what maps it out in the future; he does not think it
has to be developed in the future but he may be wrong.
Planning Commission Minutes July 6, 2021

Mr. Gayle Degler noted it is home for him and at this point he does not have a desire to develop
it.
Ms. Aanenson stated the City has a Comprehensive Plan but does not pick and choose when
development happens as that is up to the property owner. She noted the property is guided for
industrial and there is sewer and water to the property but if they want to continue to farm it is
the family’s choice.
Mr. von Oven asked regarding the 50 feet for parking, the reason may be to screen parking but as
a parent of young children when those minivan doors open the kids are gone. He does not know
enough about the right-of-way, but asked if Mr. Degler is personally comfortable parking within
15-20 feet of that right-of-way with his children piling out of the car.
Mr. Degler replied he is, absolutely.
Mr. Gayle Degler stated the kids are going to go toward the activity, towards the pumpkins,
towards the farm rather than the road.
Commissioner Johnson commented he has gone to the farm since they started the hayride, they
are doing a great job, and it is always fun to see what is new each year.
Ms. Alto asked staff with the proposed changes the applicant had in the presentation, is it
something that needs to go back for revisions before approval?
Ms. Aanenson stated the Commission can make a recommendation based on the applicant’s
updates up to the City Council. The City Council can then either add or subtract to it.
Mr. Weick opened the public hearing at 8:06 p.m.
Mr. Weick closed the public hearing at 8:06 p.m.
Mr. Weick appreciates the intent for the Degler Farm and does not doubt the intentions for safety
or fun; however, with the number of items included in what could happen...with all the activities
and parking, they overlap considerably. His concern is in rotating activities around the farm, it is
very packed. If they stick to the 50-foot setback for parking it basically wipes out the parking in
the front of the property. He is also concerned that there are 19 other properties that could
potentially do similar things and are their intentions the same. He noted the number of potentially
dangerous activities such as sledding, archery, axe throwing, zip lines happening on top of each
other and moving year after year is an issue to him.
Ms. Aanenson noted they tried to address this in the definition of Agritainment. The goal was
that there needed to be a farming operation rather than someone that has 20 acres, as 25% of it
Planning Commission Minutes July 6, 2021
6
must be agricultural use. The intent is that it is accessory to the principal use of agriculture.
Perhaps the percentages aren’t quite where the Commissioners would feel comfortable.
Mr. von Oven asked why the percentage was lowered to 25%?
Mr. Generous replied it was partially the Degler’s recommendation. He clarified they started out
with a 10-acre site and the City said that was way too small which is how they got to the 40
acres.
Mr. Degler clarified they did not want it to look like they made the rules for themselves; through
some back-and-forth, they landed at the final number.
Mr. von Oven asked how many acres the farm sits on.
Mr. Degler replied the farm is about 60 acres, they rent other land and farm about 250 tillable
acres.
Mr. von Oven noted they are well over 75% agriculture.
Mr. Weick replied not on this site.
Mr. Degler noted that is correct and depends on if they are talking about the farm or the site; the
farm they rent is not connected to the site.
Ms. Aanenson clarified the Degler’s property is 67 acres and that would be the basis.
Mr. Weick asked of the 67 acres, how much is farmed?
Mr. Degler replied about 40-45 acres.
Mr. von Oven said regarding the definition of Agritainment, he thinks they are putting so much
in there so something is not missed. There is some work to be done to make it more efficient and
not revisit this in the future. He noted this makes it feel that they are piling stuff on top of a piece
of property; if there were one place that tried to do all these things, there is no way he’d take his
kids there because it would be too dangerous. He feels as though all of the activities are for
definition as one literally cannot have all of them at the same time, for example winter and
summer activities.
Mr. Weick said he cannot help but envision driving by a carnival. He stated someone could do it
and turn it into a business - only interested in making a buck - much more than the Deglers who
are interested in the educational side.
Planning Commission Minutes July 6, 2021

Ms. Aanenson noted that is the reason they put the timeline on the IUP so the City can go back
and revisit it.
Mr. von Oven is a big fan of the idea and he has visited places like this a lot by driving a few
more miles west. All of the changes suggested make sense to him; however the one he feels
pretty strongly about is that it is being considered as an IUP for a reason. If there was a definite
end that was forcing the Deglers to develop that would change this and put a set deadline on it,
he would feel differently. He is a big fan that the City invests in projects they believe in, which is
why this is up for consideration. There may be some issues as to how they make it work, limiting
potential uses; perhaps a smaller list of uses is tested at first and if it is working, the City can let
it grow or change. Part of the way they would not drive by a carnival every day is on Section 20
Number 4. It feels like a site that is only farming on 25% of the property is not really a farm,
rather it is 75% or something else. Commissioner von Oven thinks they should keep with the
great idea of farmers first, educators second. This might get flipped on its head and that is when
it turns into a carnival if they only have to be farming on 25%. He does not know what the right
number is, but feels like that number should be a bit bigger. He also agrees that the Bluff signage
feels like an advertisement and should not be on private property.
Ms. Aanenson noted staff agrees with the porta-potty comment and also agrees in combining the
parking standards.
Mr. von Oven asked if there was anything on the list that staff was adamantly opposed to.
Mr. Generous replied there is some concern about archery and axe throwing.
Ms. Aanenson said regarding parking, they will let the Planning Commission decide what is
appropriate for screening, whether 50 feet is excessive or just a row of corn.
Mr. Generous said if there is concern regarding acreage, to go back to 40 acres at 25% there
would be 10 acres that are actually farmed and that is by definition, a farm. He noted that is part
of what they started out with. He stated there are other opportunities in the community that could
theoretically come in, but they do not think anyone else would have the same interests, visibility,
location, or passion.
Mr. von Oven is not a fan of the axe throwing, either. The interesting thing about the definition is
if they did not talk about it tonight, no one would know whether it is in or out of the definition.
Everyone who reviews these notes will know that mountain biking was crossed off and
potentially axe throwing was discussed and thrown out. He said “pick your next sport.” That is a
bit of the issue he has with the definition. He loves “uses including” but does not know that any
decision the Commissioners make will say yes or no to axe throwing so it does not affect his
decision. He clarified that if they do not change the definition to produce picking, then zucchini
picking is prohibited on the Agritainment property.
Planning Commission Minutes July 6, 2021

Ms. Aanenson thinks she heard Mr. von Oven say “like uses” which would be something that is
grown on the property, and Staff would clarify that.
Mr. Johnson asked if the strike-out for mountain biking would stay in the definition like this.
Ms. Aanenson replied it will come out. When it goes to City Council they will weigh in, as well.
Mr. von Oven would like City Council to hear that he thinks they will have problems with this
definition in the future and he wants to make it better although he is not exactly sure how. Some
of the wording could be more efficient or explicit, and he suggested something similar to “like-
use.” He loves the idea of the corn barrier between the right-of-way which allays his concerns
about children running from the car to the road. Servicing the facilities weekly does sound undue
as certain times during the winter they may not even be used. He believes it should remain as an
IUP to allow the City to test, learn, and revisit.
Commissioner von Oven moved, Commissioner Alto seconded that the Chanhassen
Planning Commission recommends City Council approve City Code amendments to
sections 1-2, 20-251.5, and 20-576 regarding Agritainment; an Interim Use Permit (IUP)
for Agritainment use at 9111 Audubon Road with amendments as proposed in the notes
from tonight and adopts the Findings of Fact and Recommendation. The motion carried
with a vote of 3 to 1. Chairman Weick voted nay.
Ms. Aanenson noted this item will go before the City Council on July 26, 2021.

ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS:
CITY COUNCIL ACTION UPDATE
Ms. Aanenson presented highlights of action taken by the City Council on Planning matters
including the food truck item, Octoberfest, a neighborhood meeting regarding the changes going
on for residents on West 96th Street, and noted they have had between 800-1,000 roofing permits,
a new Building Inspector, and Lake Place Apartments will begin construction soon. She stated
they will not have a Planning Commission meeting on August 3, 2021 due to National Night
Out.
DISCUSS FUTURE CODE AMENDMENTS
Ms. Aanenson updated the Commissioners on what is coming up including a sign code update,
fences (shoreland fences, above-ground pool requirements, height, CUP requirements, and

barbed wire/electric fence restrictions), and retaining walls. Finally, they are looking at goat
rentals, which is currently only in agricultural areas; however, the City has had many requests
recently as the goats are gone in three days and they would like to try to allow this. Ms.
Aanenson noted Hopkins has a really good sign ordinance model which the City will likely
recommend.
Mr. Weick noted it has been a couple of weeks since the City Council made their decision
regarding RV storage. He asked if calls to the City spiked because of it.
Ms. Aanenson replied yes, they have received complaints from neighbors but it has always been
a complaint-based system.

CHANHASSEN ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
6:00 PM
JUNE 9, 2021
Members Present: Markus Fischer, Kristin Fulkerson, Jeff Harken, Greg Hawks, Scot Lacek, Leslie
Elhadi.
Members Absent: Bill Chappell
Staff Present: Jill Sinclair, Environmental Resources Specialist
Guests Present: Laurie Hokkanen, City Manager; Elise Ryan, Chanhassen Mayor
Minutes: May minutes were approved.
Guest Presentation: Elise and Laurie shared the new strategic plan for the city with the commission.
They have been visiting with all of the commissions to present the plan which is the first strategic plan
completed for the city in many years. The reason the city did it was to get the Council, commissions and
staff all on the same page and confirm long-term goals for the city. The council did a SWOT (strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis with a consultant firm during a two-day workshop in
February. The consultant worked with the council and department heads to develop the plan. The plan
can be found on the city’s website. There were two things that Laurie wanted to highlight for the
commission – the Vision, Mission and Values section and the Strategic Priorities section. Within the
Vision section it was important to the council and staff to include that Chanhassen is a ‘community for
life’, meaning that residents of all ages and stages should be able to call Chanhassen home. Part of the
Mission is to make sure all staff knows the ‘why’ of what we do to serve the community and that
sustainability is critical to all aspects of the city’s work and responsibilities. For Values, the council is
excited about encouraging innovation and incorporating ‘test and learn’ to more aspects of city code.
Engagement is also a part of the Values and being sure that all members of the community can feel
engaged. The city will be using ‘FlashVote’ more to gauge community values on different subjects.
There are five strategic priorities with the council and staff taking part in bringing them to fruition. The
city will be implementing Envisio software to provide benchmark and progress information. Where
does the Environmental Commission fit in the plan? The mayor said that there’s space in every priority
for the commission to provide feedback and serve as a resource.
July 3 Business Expo: Kristin made a SignUpGenius list of items wanted for the recycling display.
Greg and Scot brought items to the meeting. Jill will store them in her office for the event. She will
also get trash, recycling and compost bins for the game. Greg had a couple of information sheets about
plastics. The commission agreed that they would be good to have displayed at the event. Jill will get
them ready. The commission decided to have 20 common items and create four boxes of five items
each for players to sort. There will be a compostable item, easy recycling item, a tricky recycling item,
Environmental Commission Minutes – June 9, 2021

a plastic bag and a take-out container or yogurt cup or other common plastic. Commissioners can drop
off items at city hall for Jill. The commission will label and sort the items by June 25.
2021 Recycling Education Ideas: Kristin shared a photo of a display board from a national park that
showed different items with the length of time it takes for them to decompose. The commission thought
it was very simple and impactful. They think it would be a good display for the parks. If anyone else
has display ideas, they should send them to Jill.
Fall/Winter Connection Article: Jeff agreed to write the article focusing on what plastics are
recyclable. Greg offered to help. The article is due to Jill by July 12.
City Updates:
• The Commission discussed the youth member term and suggested that it run with the school
year – October-July, one-year term. The by-laws will need to be changed to add the member.
The city should start advertising soon. Jill will share this with the city staff.
• The city was awarded additional recycling grant funds from Carver County for recycling at
the July 4th event and the fall yard waste collection.
General Discussion:
• Scot shared that his neighbor is a Master Water Steward and would like to work with the
commission on promoting water quality projects. Kristin suggested that he come to a fall
meeting and give a presentation. Jeff said that would be a good focus topic for 2022.
• Greg had an update on watershed news: there are two upcoming openings on the board, one
of which is for a Chanhassen representative. The St Hubert project has evolved over time
and now has a Met Council grant funding for the project. The Pioneer wetland project is
looking for approval from the board. The project got a grant from Met Council water quality
board and is going out for bids.

Member Sanford made a note on page 6, and clarified a point he was trying to make. He asked to
amend the minutes as he was talking about striking not only parking stalls, but also the paved
surfaces.
Member Sanford moved, Member Ebeling seconded, to approve the Minutes of the
Economic Development Commission meeting dated May 11, 2021 as amended. All voted in
favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0.
City Manager Hokkanen requested that Chairman Anderson take item D1) Presentation of
Strategic Plan prior to C1) Business Feedback Survey Discussion this evening.
Chairman Anderson agreed and welcomed Mayor Ryan.
NEW BUSINESS:
PRESENTATION OF CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLAN
Mayor Elise Ryan noted she and Ms. Hokkanen have been going around to the Commissions to
present the strategic plan. Many times Councilmembers and Staff receive questions about the
direction of the City and at the beginning of the year a consultant was hired and brought the City
through an extensive strategic planning process. They did a SWOT analysis, independently
answered questions, attended a two-day seminar with City Council and department heads, and
came up with the strategic plan which consists of Mission, Vision, Values, and Strategic
Priorities. They laid out a roadmap for everyone to follow going forward and Mayor Ryan noted
they have gone through many changes in the past two years and it was very important for this
next leadership group to get on the same page to move the City forward. She said the strategic
Economic Development Commission – June 8, 2021

plan is a living document and does not just get put on a shelf but is something the Council will be
reviewing on an annual basis and is what City Staff operates against when they are putting
department plans together.
City Manager Hokkanen noted there is a webpage where one can download the Strategic Plan
and walked the Commissioners through the Mission, Vision, and Values. She noted going
forward, innovation will be a big part of what they do. As it relates to the work of the EDC –
Ms. Hokkanen said “if you have an idea, talk to us about it.” She noted it may not work out, the
rules in place may be good rules that they want to adhere to, but they want to be known as a
place that is happy to have a conversation, do brainstorming, and take on something that has
potential. For example in the food truck ordinance, historically Chanhassen had a pretty pat
stance on food trucks and had not looked at it in a long time. Going through the EDC and the
Planning Commission gave a lot of good feedback for changing that. It was noted at the Planning
Commission that it is a great opportunity to test and learn. Ms. Hokkanen shared that is the
philosophy they are all trying to live now, that it is okay to try things. She also highlighted
engagement, noting they want to provide opportunities for residents to connect to the
community, each other, and the natural environment. She showed the strategic plan summary on
screen and explained the five strategic priorities: Financial Sustainability, Asset Management,
Development and Redevelopment, Operational Excellence, and Communications. She shared
some desired outcomes in Development and Redevelopment, which includes diversity in new
development, for example multiple types of development and at least three types each year. The
second desired outcome relates to the fact that Chanhassen is running out of green space to
develop and in order to stay vibrant, keep the tax base up, keep the amenities, they will need to
do redevelopment that is consistent with the City’s vision. Ms. Hokkanen stated they want to
revisit the Downtown Vision Plan, recommit, make tweaks, and identify roadblocks to
redevelopment. Finally, she noted they want new, innovative places and spaces. Again, if
someone has an idea, talk to them and they will see if they can make it happen or if it makes
sense for the City.
Chairman Anderson asked Ms. Hokkanen and Mayor Ryan where they want the EDC focusing
their time.
Ms. Hokkanen replied the ways that the EDC will add value will be in the Development and
Redevelopment. A couple of other areas may be in Operational Excellence as they want to
develop Customer Service standards and practices, conduct efficiency improvement projects, and
how the City can be more friendly to businesses and developers. The next step for the City is to
take these Strategic Initiatives and build out a plan for how they will execute each of them with
timelines and a work plan. She noted they have purchased software called Envisio which is built
specifically for governments to track strategic planning and comes with built-in scorecards,
dashboards, and automated reporting capabilities. If there are things that the EDC really wants to
track, they can let Mr. Generous or Mr. Foster know and they can build some of those reports to
come to the Commission quarterly.
Economic Development Commission – June 8, 2021

Member Sanford said regarding accountability, are there projects assigned to specific Staff
members?
Ms. Hokkanen replied yes. The Envisio system is color-coded and people will be able to follow
and see if they are on track, experiencing disruption, or if they have failed to meet deadlines.
Member Sanford said when they say “redevelopment consistent with our vision” and he looks
back to the vision it references vibrant businesses. He asked if that is the focus of the vision for
redevelopment and the EDC.
Ms. Hokkanen noted in this context it refers more to some of the plans they have such as the
Comprehensive Plan, the Downtown Master Plan, and a less specific use of the term “vision.”
Member Sanford clarified the EDC should be looking at the Comprehensive Plan and the
Downtown Master Plan and that is the vision they should be talking about.
Ms. Hokkanen replied yes, and they have not mapped that timeline out but is something she
envisions the Commissions and City Council will be doing.
Member Ebeling noted the Downtown Master Plan is very broadly written as there are not a lot
of targeted things to measure. Perhaps they will have to talk about more targeted, measurable
objectives as they go through it.
Mayor Ryan thinks looking at it again will be very valuable with new priorities, new Members,
new Council, new Staff, and as they are focusing on innovation a lot has changed so it may be a
good time to look at the Downtown Vision Study again.
Member Sanford asked if the goal for walkability will remain a big piece.
Mayor Ryan replied yes, the walkability in the City is a huge priority.
Chairman Anderson noted it might be helpful with the Downtown Vision Plan to have a separate
session coinciding with other Commissions to talk through those common objectives they may
want to look for.
Ms. Hokkanen agreed and noted they have an Urban Land Institute (ULI) joint session on their
calendar in August as they want to be grounded in reality. ULI will come in with a panel and
give the City some of that grounding; then there will be an opportunity for all three Commissions
(Planning Commission, EDC, and City Council) to dialogue so everyone is moving in the same
direction.
Member Sanford is curious about reconciling ordinances with the Comprehensive Plan goals; he
asked if they are looking at zoning or what they are looking at there.
Economic Development Commission – June 8, 2021

Senior Planner Generous said it is reconciling, it is asking do the ordinances permit the City to
implement the Comprehensive Plan or does it provide obstacles.
Mayor Ryan added they want people to know they are open for business and are open to
considering ideas. As Mr. Generous said in reconciling ordinances, there are certain restrictions
or zoning regulations where someone may look and say it is zoned one way so they cannot do
anything, or there is an ordinance so they cannot do anything. She clarified what they are saying
is that they want to make sure everything has been reviewed so that that it is open and available
for consideration.
Member Sanford said if they want to encourage certain types of development, are they looking at
the zoning as incentivizing some people in certain types of developments?
Ms. Hokkanen is not sure they will use zoning as a way to encourage types of businesses to
come, but they will be looking at what tools the City has and which ones the Council is
interested in using, such as Tax Increment Financing (TIF), or a bank of sewer and water credits.
Member Kressler thinks it is a really important point that Council is willing to look at ordinances
and is a direction they can make a lot of progress on.
Member Sanford asked about the discussion on the SWOT analysis and noted trust is listed as a
big issue, both internal and external.
Mayor Ryan replied there is a general mistrust of government and how things are decided, so
they know they must continue to gain trust with residents through engagement and
communication. Trust in terms of Staff and Council was a conversation about some of the
challenges previously and that at this point they are all here to support each other and grow
together. She thanked the Commission and said if they have any questions or comments to reach
out.
OLD BUSINESS:
BUSINESS FEEDBACK SURVEY DISCUSSION
Senior Planner Bob Generous noted from a Staff position they give the survey to people that
come in and work at City Hall asking how the interaction went, what went well, what did not go
well, and how can it be improved.
Chairman Anderson stated there are people who may do business that are staying away or they
are not hearing from them, and then there are existing businesses. He asked how they can
nurture those who are in the City and make sure they are happy and don’t leave.
Member Ebeling agrees and thinks they tailor the survey or feedback separately for those. He
thinks the City may know who some of the potential businesses are and need to figure out what
they need to ask them.
Economic Development Commission – June 8, 2021

Chairman Anderson asked if they use the Chamber of Commerce to help identify current
businesses.
Mr. Foster thinks a way of potentially attracting or retaining businesses is building a reputation
as a City that they are good to work with and easy to work with. The way to do that may be
reaching out to people who have gone through this development process to find out how they can
improve.
Member Sanford thinks it would be interesting to get some feedback from businesses regarding
the Downtown Plan about what they may like to see. He sees it as not just reactive but proactive
in asking what the businesses want and need from the City to help their business grow.
Chairman Anderson suggested asking the top 10 businesses how they think the City is doing and
if there are things they should do differently, whether the businesses want to expand, stay in the
City, etcetera. Then there are the groups of smaller businesses, the incubators, job-creators.
Mr. Foster asked the Commission how they would like to administer these surveys.
Member Kressler noted there would be two different viewpoints, one from a business that creates
jobs and another from a business that creates jobs and provides a service. He thinks they may get
different answers from those and wondered if there is a way to tailor questions to each.
Mr. Foster noted they can create forms on their website so perhaps they could ask questions and
provide a blank for open feedback. They could share the link to the form via email.
Member Ebeling wondered about the feedback Ms. Aanenson receives organically from
developers and whether they could track some of that.
Chairman Anderson asked if they have talked to any other cities that have done this with their
businesses to find out what has been effective and what has not.
Mr. Foster replied last fall he spoke with someone in Chaska as they were doing roundtable
discussions. They could explore something like that and he can reach out to other cities, as well.
Member Ebeling thinks the face-to-face dialogue is way better than any survey. He noted the
Open House they hosted was not a failure, but only five businesses came through.
Member Sanford thinks they may need to have a topic of interest but the roundtable is an
interesting idea. He said it might be interesting to hear from residents about what services and
businesses they want to see in the community as it would be worth understanding, as well,
although that may be a Planning Commission area.
Mr. Foster said if they are looking for feedback from residents and business owners, FlashVote,
which the City is implementing, would be a great tool when they get there.
Economic Development Commission – June 8, 2021

The Commissioners discussed utilizing the Chamber of Commerce or the Rotary Club to assist in
reaching out to business owners for the survey.
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATION: None.
CORRESPONDENCE DISCUSSION:
CDA COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT UPDATES MAY 14, 2021
Mr. Generous noted there is a one-page document to let them know what the Community
Development Agency (CDA) has out there to assist businesses. He noted they are a great agency,
which is part of Carver County Community Development. He stated they do housing and
redevelopment.
Chairman Anderson asked when they were referencing the Strategic Plan doing a CDA project,
would they partner with the CDA on that?
Mr. Generous stated for the Lake Place Development they received a grant for the project to
assist with storm water improvements because the underground systems are very expensive. He
believes they received $75,000 to assist that.
Mr. Foster noted it seems like the biggest function of the CDA is the grant making, helping,
processing, and identifying piece.
Mr. Generous just received the housing performance score survey from the Met Council for
2020. He noted there is an “ALOHA amount” that each community needs to spend on affordable
housing and Chanhassen exceeds that because the CDA has taxing authority in Chanhassen and
gets about $600,000 a year to help towards the housing programs.
Member Sanford asked regarding the Carver County Youth Employment program, who is being
recruited, employees or businesses?
Mr. Generous would think it is the agency trying to get businesses that have employment
opportunities. He asked if the Commission would like to finish their strategic plan review since
the City is working on its strategic plan. He noted they have the strategies, objectives, and
timelines and they could tie it more closely to the Council’s strategic plan.
Chairman Anderson suggested at the July meeting, they talk through what is important to the
EDC and what they want to bring up when they meet with the Planning Commission and City
Council.
Member Sanford thinks the place that really affects the EDC is the Development and
Redevelopment. He does not think they should make a plan until after hearing what the Planning
Economic Development Commission – June 8, 2021

Commission and Council have to say. He suggested looking at what they would like to see and
stated the Downtown plan would take a tremendous investment.
The Commission decided to put it on the agenda for the next meeting.

RE: Minnewashta Parkway Rehabilitation
City of Chanhassen, Minnesota
Watermain Over-Depth Change – Rev. 1
Mr. Larson,
As previously described in Serial Letter 07 (attached), Lametti & Sons, Inc., experienced a significant
change in watermain depth conditions at all locations on the City of Chanhassen’s Minnewashta
Parkway Rehabilitation Project during 2020. We originally presented you with our justification for
additional cost reimbursement in a percentage format. In this revision, we are presenting you the same
justification for reimbursing additional costs by describing our increased equipment requirements and
rates (see Tables 1 and 2). It is critical to note that in every instance the watermain was 2 – 4 feet
deeper than depicted on the plans. The increased depth necessitated the use of larger trench boxes (one
of which we had to rent), and the larger boxes in turn necessitated larger excavators.
In July of last year, Lametti expanded the work week to include Saturdays and applied additional
resources to overcome delays caused by the watermain being deeper than anticipated. We have every
reason to expect that this over-depth condition will apply to our work in 2021 as well, and we have
similarly planned additional resources to maintain our schedule going forward.
Given that the over-depth condition added 40 days of work to our critical path tasks in 2020 (see Table
2), Lametti’s position is that there is no way for the City of Chanhassen to justify imposing liquidated
damages. The original project timeline—made in good faith—was rendered unachievable by the
increased scope of work associated with the entire watermain being deeper than depicted on the project
plans.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
Lametti & Sons

Subject Resolution 2021XX: Supporting Changes to FCC Regulations
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: D.10.
Prepared By Laurie Hokkanen, City Manager File No:
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council adopts a resolution encouraging federal officials to pursue changes to the "retransmission consent
language."
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
SUMMARY
Residents who are Mediacom cable subscribers have been without local NBC/KARE11 programming since January
1, 2021, due to an impasse in Mediacom's contract negotiations with TENGA (the station's owner).
BACKGROUND
The city has received numerous inquiries and complaints on this issue. The regulations governing retransmission
consent were created nearly 20 years ago and are outdated. Blackouts like this are increasingly more common as a
negotiation tactic during contract renewals. Consumers are caught in the middle and left without service. This year,
Chanhassen residents will be particularly impacted, without cable access to the Olympic games on NBC.
Retransmission consent is a provision of the 1992 United States Cable Television Consumer Protection and
Competition Act that requires cable operators and other multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) to
obtain permission from commercial broadcasters before carrying their programming.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adopting the attached Resolution and directing staff to send the Resolution to our federal elected
representatives.

“retransmission consent” language to protect the consumer better.

Prepared By Jill Sinclair, Environmental Resource
Specialist
File No:
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council adopts the Dedicate Proof of Local Funding for Chanhassen Ash Tree Removal and Replanting
MN DNR Grant Resolution shown as Exhibit A.”
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
DISCUSSION
The city received notice on April 7, 2021 that it had been selected as one of the communities to receive grant funding
for emerald ash borer (EAB) preparedness.The grant monies in the amount of $30,715 were awarded to assist with
ash tree removal and replanting within the city.As part of the grant award process, the Minnesota Management and
Business office is requiring the city to prove that it has the dedicated funds of $17,395 that the city proposed as
matching funding for the grant.
The ash tree removal and replanting project will take place over the next two years and involve the removal of ash
trees in parks and along streets that have not been chemically protected from EAB.These trees do not meet the
treatment criteria for reasons such as too small, poor health or poor location.With grant funding, these trees will be
removed and the locations then replanted.In sites where poor location was the reason for nontreatment, the planting
site will be relocated to an appropriate spot.The funding will allow for about 50 ash trees to be removed and
replanted.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Dedicate Proof of Local Funding for Chanhassen Ash Tree
Removal and Replanting MN DNR Grant Resolution shown as Exhibit A.

Re: West Park – 1st and 2nd Addition Utility Installation
Dear Mr. Onsgard
As requested, Alliant Engineering, Inc. has reviewed the West Park utility record/as-built drawings and
compared to the civil engineering design plans produced by Alliant Engineering and have found the measured
utility as-built information to be consistent and within design specification tolerance. Alliant does understand
that the City of Chanhassen did hire an outside consultant, Kimley Horn, to provide construction inspection on
behalf of the City of Chanhassen, for much of the project’s utility installations. The City’s hired inspector has
deemed the utility installation work they witnessed to have been consistent with the design plans and
specifications. Pulte Homes did also provide occasional observation of utility installations and witnessed work
being completed per design plans and specifications as well.
Based on the information available from as-built records and with knowledge that construction inspection and
observation did occur, Alliant Engineering, Inc. does certify that the West Park 1st and 2nd Addition were
installed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
Please contact me directly at 612-767-9339 should you require any additional information or have any questions.

Subject Resolution 2021XX: Approve Scanning Services Contract
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: D.13.
Prepared By Rick Rice, IT Manager File No:
PROPOSED MOTION
"The City Council approves the purchase of document scanning services from Scanning America to convert existing
city paperbased backfile documents located at City Hall to digital formats with a total cost of $152,932.06."
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
The City maintains a library of city records in paper form in multiple locations throughout City Hall. These records are
housed in rolling files, file cabinets and in other bulk storage areas. Accessing and maintaining these paper documents
has proved to be highly inefficient due to their locations and the increasing need for city staff and to access documents
at the same time. Having these records in a centralized electronic format also makes them easier to manage in regards
to the city records retention policy.
Document Management System
In 2002 the City purchased Laserfiche, a digital document management system, and began migrating the paper
documents to this system. There are currently about 3.5 million images, electronic and text files stored in this system.
Documents stored in Laserfiche can also be shared and or integrated with other city software applications making this
an effective central city records repository. All documents being scanned as part of this project will be imported into
this system.
Backfile Scanning
Though new city documents created or received are being imported into the Laserfiche system, there is limited staff
time to process the old backfile documents. This work had been done sporadically by city employees who were on
shortterm disability from their regular jobs, or recently with available time due to the COVID event.
Reclaimed Floor Space
As the City has added new employees, there is now a need for additional office space. Once the documents located in
the rolling files have been converted to electronic files, the paper copies will be destroyed and the space they occupied
will be available to be reutilized for this purpose.

Once the documents located inthe rolling files have been converted to electronic files, the paper copies will be destroyed and the space they occupied

Funding
Staff identified $400,000 of high priority technology improvements which improve the operational efficiency and
effectiveness across the organization.The City had hoped to use ARP grant funding as a revenue sources; however,
funding for this category is limited to the amount of the City’s lost revenue.As discussed at the June 28 Council work
session these items continue to be of highest priority and are part of the City’s strategic plan initiatives.Also, a large
part of the scanning is in the area of building inspections.Therefore, it is proposed that the City use the available fund
balance from 2020 CARES funding of General Fund activities and excess permit revenue to fund these activities.
Vendors
The Laserfiche vendor for the City, OPG3, was contacted for recommendations for scanning services providers that
were already working with Laserfiche customers. OPG3 will be contracted to provide import services for the
scanned files. Indigital and Scanning America were the two vendors who were recommended and were contacted to
provide quotes. Both vendors had experience with government agencies and had good city references. There was no
difference in cost for importing the electronic documents between the two vendors. Scanning America was selected for
the project based on the single fixed price for both color and bitonal scans, and the ability to deliver documents in
Laserfiche formats for the review and testing processes.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the purchase of document scanning services from Scanning America to
convert existing city paperbased backfile documents located at City Hall to digital formats with a total cost of
$152,932.06.

Thank you for this opportunity to provide you with information about our scanning services.
I have written this proposal based on the metric information that you provided for the different
document types that you would like to have digitized. If the scope of your project changes, I will be
happy revise this quote accordingly.
Scanning America Overview
Scanning America, Inc. was founded in 1989 as a national document scanning company. Since that time,
we have converted billions of images for clients in the US and abroad. Throughout our course, we have
maintained our focus on only providing scanning and indexing services. By doing so, we believe provide
our clients with the greatest value.
We have the ability to scan and index most every type of document that can be found within an
organization, including: paper, maps/drawings, microfilm, microfiche, aperture cards, slides/photos, x-
rays and more. We are constantly seeking to upgrade our capabilities and equipment to ensure that we
remain on the cutting edge of technology and also remain as competitive as possible.
Scanning America, OPG-3 and Laserfiche Content Management Software
Scanning America partners very closely with OPG-3, Inc. which is recognized as one of the nation's most
successful Laserfiche VARS. We are proud to have such a professional and knowledgeable ally to help
support our mutual clients.
Scanning America specializes in formatting the converted files and metadata into either Laserfiche
Attachable Volumes or Laserfiche Briefcases. This allows the client to simply attach the volumes to their
Laserfiche repository. The metadata automatically populates the Laserfiche template fields within the
repository and contains pointers to the corresponding file images.
Scanning America owns and operates a Laserfiche system within our production facility. The only way
that a scanning provider can create the Attachable Volumes and Briefcases is by utilizing the Laserfiche
server software along with the LF client licenses.
Scanning America has performed these services on literally hundreds of millions of images.

that all our customers' information is strictly secured and protected. The policies and procedures that
we have in place allow us to remain HIPAA and FERPA compliant.
Scanning America is also an SSAE 18, SOC 2, Type II, Certified Vendor. The SSAE 18 standard is the
benchmark compliance report for organizations whose products and services are impacted by
compliance with regulatory and industry standards such as privacy and security regulations. Scanning
America has successfully completed these audits with no exceptions detected, which is the best result
possible. This provides independent third-party verification of Scanning America, Inc. managemenYs
assertion that its policies and procedures are both correctly designed and operating effectively to
achieve the control objectives throughout the specified audit period.
All SAI employees have undergone pre-hire criminal background checks and must sign
confidentiality/non-disclosure agreements.
Physical security includes but is not limited to:
All exterior doors require electronic card keys for access
Professionally monitored alarm system
20+ security cameras in-side and out-side of building (video generated from these cameras is saved
for a minimum of 6-months)

We feel that this additional coverage brings significant value to our customers, as well as to our
organization.
Disaster Recovery / Hot Site
To ensure seamless disaster recovery and business continuity, Scanning America operates a remote Hot
Site. Scanning America's Hot Site is a disaster recovery location that is set up and ready to go if ever
needed. Scanning America staff can arrive and continue to work immediately. Scanning America's
Hot Site has scanning equipment set up, with current data always available, and all primary data center
functions copied and maintained off site. In addition to scanning equipment, Scanning America's Hot
Site also hosts QC and Data Entry/Indexing workstations.
While having a Disaster Recovery site actively working, in addition to a primary data center, is costly,
those additional costs pay off in providing redundancy should disaster strike, ensuring we can keep our
clients' projects on-schedule.
Overview of Scanning America's Project Approach and Production Methodology
Initial Implementation Meeting
Within 10 days of acceptance of our proposal, Scanning America will schedule a meeting with the
City's primary staff members along with the OPG-3 team. Talking points for the meeting will be
project specifications, pick-up scheduling, establishing a starting timeline as well as expectations on
milestone reporting, project completion goals, etc.
Document Transportation and Entry into Production
SAI will pick up files at the City's various locations for transportation to our centralized production
center located in Lawrence, Kansas.
If desired, SAI staff can provide boxes and labor to pack the files into boxes.
All physical transportation of client documents will be handled by Scanning America Staff Members.
All SAI staff members and drivers have undergone comprehensive background checks and have
signed nondisclosure agreements.
SAI is insured for transportation of valuable documents.
SAI drivers follow Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration guidelines in terms of number of
hours spent driving per day/per week, etc.
Documents and media shall be transported in locked containers. For the purposes of document
transportation, a properly provisioned transporting vehicle shall qualify as the locked container.
SAI will not transfer client containers or documents from one vehicle to another while in route.
Any time an SAI employee is not physically loading, unloading or operating an SAI vehicle containing
client media, the vehicle will be locked and secured.
SAI staff will attach a bar-coded label to each box/container of client documents prior to loading
into the transport vehicle. Each label will be sequentially numbered and state the client name and
project number.

The Dceumern Irt agog Professianals
Each box/container will be marked with the beginning and ending document range that is contained
within it.
There will be a delivery/transmittal sheet signed between the City and SAI for each grouping of files
picked up at each City location. This will establish a direct chain of custody for the documents. A
copy of each receipt will be left at each location and a second copy of all receipts will be sent to the
City's project manager.
Once the boxes arrive at Scanning America's facility, they will be immediately offloaded into SAI's
climate-controlled warehouse. The documents will be received into SAI's project management
system, eProject. eProject is an internally developed software tool that SAI utilizes to manage all
aspects of scanning projects.
Scanning America, Inc. has been providing nationwide transportation of our clients' documents for
over 30 years.
Scan on Demand Record Retrievals
Scanning America provides clients with ready access to their files throughout the back-file scanning
process. Scanning America has a constantly monitored email address,
filerequest@scannin america.com, where clients can initiate on-demand requests for files in Scanning
America's possession. Upon receipt of an on-demand file request, the authenticity of the request is
verified and then the file is located, prepped, scanned, encrypted and transferred electronically to the
requesting party. This is normally accomplished within 2-4 hours of the request. We understand that
our clients' access to their files is critical to their operations.
eProject
eProject is an internally developed software tool that we use to manage all aspects of scanning projects,
from receiving boxes thru shipping deliverables, and everything in between. eProject is our single
repository for project specifications. Having a single repository for project specifications allows our staff
to always have access to the most up to date information.
eProject is also where we monitor the progress of our projects. We can tell which boxes have been
prepped, scanned, indexed, post-processed, QC'ed, delivered, etc. We also track which of our
employees performed each of these functions and what scanning equipment they used. This gives us
the advantage of being able to look at the work of particular individuals and to analyze the performance
of particular pieces of equipment.
Document Preparation
Document preparation is the first step in the scanning process. This step involves many tasks
that get the paper ready for high-speed scanning, including staple removal, relocation of post-it
notes obscuring information, un-folding oversize sheets, etc. Scanning America also inserts bar
coded file separation sheets during this process to delineate between the beginning and end of
each individual file.
Document Scanning
As the documents are prepped, they are placed into queue for scanning. Scanning America uses
IBML Open Track scanners. IBML scanners lead the industry in quality and performance. We
have chosen to use these scanners because they have several key features which make them
1440 N 3rd Street Lawrence, Kansas 66044
800.732.7226 www.scanningamerica.com
S '
Ameri • -
The Document Imagi g Professianals -
excellent scanners for back file scanning. They have very effective paper feeding systems that
reliably feed individual pages of various sizes and thicknesses.
We scan the front and back of every piece of paper. We then view large thumbnails of the images on-
screen to look for blank images. Blank images are deleted and clients are not charged for them. Also,
during this on-screen review; our staff is looking for images which are not accurate representations of
the source documents. If any are found, the corresponding paper is located, and the page is rescanned
into an accurate likeness of the paper document.
All our scanners have ultrasonic double-feed detection that prevents pages from being missed
during the scanning process. This process passes a beam of ultrasound through paper as it feeds
into the scanner. The sensors can detect even the slightest amount of airspace that exists
between any two sheets of paper. It then stops the scanner, and the operator clears the double
feed. All of our scanners are regularly maintained by manufacturer-certified technicians and are
cleaned and calibrated multiple times per shift by our own staff.
Ensuring that all Documents are Scanned
Making sure that all documents are scanned is one of the most important parts of any scanning project.
Scanning America has gone to great lengths to ensure that no documents are missed. This process
starts by breaking documents into batches then numbering and bar-code labeling the batches. Each
sticker contains project-specific information, including: Client Name, Project Name, Project Number and
Batch number. This ensures that batches are always identifiable and associated with a specific project.
These batch numbers are then entered into Scanning America's eProject tool. Within eProject, every
batch must be logged into and completed by a scanner technician. This ensures that every batch is
scanned.
Image Quality
Image quality is of utmost importance in any scanning project. Scanning America has invested in the
equipment we have deemed as the best available. Rather than buying all equipment from a single
manufacturer, Scanning America has identified and acquired the best equipment, regardless of the
manufacturer. Great equipment alone will not ensure excellent quality images. Well trained employees
are required to get the most from the equipment. All Scanning America employees that operate
scanners have been required to undergo training on the scanners and demonstrate core competency in
operating their equipment. Scanner operators must also be capable of cleaning and calibrating their
equipment.
As the documents are scanned, the scanned images are placed into queue for Image QC and Indexing.
During this process, each scanned image is viewed on-screen by Scanning America employees. Any
images which are determined to be illegible are flagged and in a later process compared to the original
paper to ensure that the image capture is an accurate representation of the source document.
Indexing
SAI utilizes a double key method for indexing. Any field that needs to be manually keyed will be
done by two different operators keying the same information from two different workstations
while viewing the digitized images on their computer screens. Then, a computer check of the

indexed fields locates any two corresponding fields that do not match. We then have a third
operator verify the correct information and re-key the unmatched indices. These extra steps,
while costing more to provide, allows us to maintain the highest level of accuracy.
SAI will utilize a data extract provided by the City to automatically link the additional metadata
fields required. This helps to streamline the indexing process while making it as cost efficient as
possible. Utilizing the data extract also provides another validation procedure and further
enhances accuracy.
Optical Character Recognition
If desired by the City, Scanning America will perform Optical Character Recognition on all images
containing electronically generated or typed text. OCR will allow the staff to do text searches
for specific words, phrases or numbers. OCR will give the staff the ability to find specific
information within the files without having to visually go through each page. OCR works on type
written or electronically generated text, but not on handwriting. (The Laserfiche ECM system
that the Client has implemented has OCR as one of its core software features. The Client may
prefer to use that feature to selectively perform OCR on only certain ranges of documents once
they have been attached to the repository.)
Image and Metadata Delivery Formatted for Attachment to the City's Laserfiche Content
Management System
SAI will send rolling deliveries of the City's digitized files in batches as we finish them. The
images and .LST or .XML data files will be formatted so that the deliverables can be attached
directly into the City's Laserfiche content management application. The images, data and
import files will be delivered via securely encrypted U56 drives or SFTP transfer.
Post-Production Storage of Documents
Scanning America offers free 90-day storage of all source documents that are converted at our
production facility. This gives our clients the time to look at and work with the digitized files before
deciding on final disposition of original paper files. If clients would like to continue having their
documents stored, we can provide pricing for long term storage. The 90-day storage period begins and
Laserfiche deliverables are provided to the Client.
AAA NAID Certified Document Destruction
SAI can provide AAA NAID certified document destruction after all the conversion services have been
completed. An authorization form, outlining the specific documents to be destroyed is sent to the
client. Once the client has signed the destruction order, the documents are destroyed and the NAID
certification is forwarded to the client.
Schedule
Scanning America will work with the City to determine the optimum schedule to fit their needs for each
department.

Project Overview for the City of Chanhassen, Minnesota
The City has an estimated total 1,530,138 pages of documents that they would like to have digitized,
indexed and attached to their Laserfiche content management system. Approximately 1,495,500 of
these documents are letter/legal and smaller and it is estimated that 34,638 are large format
drawings.
The files are from the Building, Engineering, Finance and Planning Departments.
The documents will be prepped by removing all fasteners, unfolding pages/corners, repairing tears,
moving sticky notes so they do not conceal information and any other processes necessary to get
the documents ready for high-speed scanning.
All documents will be scanned at settings to produce high quality images and all images will be
inspected to assure that they are accurate representations of the original pages.
All documents will be maintained in their original order.
Each department's documents will be scanned in their choice of either color or bi-tonal images
based on their needs and preferences. There is no cost difference to provide either format and
determination will be made at the department and document grouping level.
SAI will perform Optical Character Recognition on all images if desired by the City.
SAI will work with each department to determine the specific indexing requirements that are
needed for each document grouping. When possible, SAI will manually key 1 unique field per file
and utilize City provided data reports to automatically include any other required fields at no
additional cost.
The digitized and indexed documents will be formatted as either Laserfiche Attachable Volumes or
Laserfiche Briefcases.
Rolling deliveries will be sent as batches are completed so that City staff members can be utilizing
portions of the digitized documents during the conversion processes.
SAI will provide the City with scan on demand file retrieval services during conversion. This will
allow the City to have constant access to their files. The files that are requested will be delivered via
SFTP or other secure transfer method based on the City's preference.
Documents will be stored for 90 days post-production at no cost. Upon written authorization, SAI
will provide AAA NAID certified destruction of the original documents. Certification will be
forwarded to the City.

Subject Ordinance XXX: Amend Chapter 4, Fees, Correcting Top Tier Commercial Water Utility Rates
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: D.16.
Prepared By Kelly Strey, Finance Director File No:
PROPOSED MOTION
"The Chanhassen City Council adopts an ordinance amending City Code Section 445, Water and Sewage Rates."
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
SUMMARY
This is a technical correction to top tier rate for commercial utility customers.
BACKGROUND
The rates were developed in the City's annual rate study during the budget process for 2021. In previous years, the
City's rate structure was the same for both residential and commercial properties with the exception of the top tier
which only applied to residential to encourage water conservation. The 2021 utility rate study created separate rate
structure tiers for residential and commercial water utility rates and rates were adjusted with the goal to increase total
revenues to the water fund by 5% on average.
The 2021 rate structure unintentionally included the conservation top tier for commercial. Because this rate was not
previously charged to commercial customers, this created an unintended disproportionately large increase in revenues
from the City's largest commercial users. The total revenue projection did not anticipate this increase so removal of the
rate does not negatively impact budgeted revenues.
This revision removes the top tier from the commercial rate table and retroactively applies the rates to water usage for
the year 2021.
Water:
Residential/Irrigation
Fixed charge (minimum water charge per quarter)$15.06 per quarter
0 to 15,000 gallons per quarter $2.20 per 1,000 gallons

File No: n/a
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council authorizes entering into a contact with Snow Kreilich Architects for a Not to Exceed Fee of

Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
SUMMARY
Supported Strategic Priorities:
Financial Sustainability
Asset Management
Operational Excellence
On 5/10/21 the City Council authorized staff to move ahead with a Facilities Planning Study. The study was included
in the fiveyear CIP for completion in 2022 (CIP Project # MB038), but was accelerated in an effort to support the
Financial Sustainability Strategic Priority.
On 6/14/21 City staff released a Request for Proposals (RFP) and sent it out to qualified Architectural/Planning firms.
The RFP was also posted on the City's Request For Proposals webpage.
On 7/2/21 the City received nine proposals.
On 7/14/21 the City shortlisted four firms and held interviews.
The Goal of the Facilities Planning Study is to develop options, and the associated costs of those options, to
effectively operate its facilities both in the short and long term to support its vision, mission and goals.
DISCUSSION
The City assembled an evaluation team made up with staff from Administration, Public Works, Fire and Park/Rec.
The team scored and ranked the nine proposals in order to short list firms to interview.

The team scored and ranked the nine proposals in order to short list firms to interview.
The proposals were evaluated based on experience, qualifications, work plan and fee. Once the short list was
determined, score and rank were put aside and the evaluation team based their recommendation on the results of the
interviews.
Upon performing the interviews, the evaluation team came to the consensus that the Snow Kreilich Architects team
was best suited to complete the Study. The Snow Kreilich team and work plan includes utilizing the services of the
contractor Kraus Anderson, which will do a thorough existing analysis of the existing facilities, to a unique level not
proposed by the other proposers. The evaluation team felt strongly that this approach was a separating factor and the
information provided to the City will be immensely useful in decision making and longterm financial planning.
The City will use it's standard Contract for Professional Services (attached). The schedule will be finalized at the kick
off meeting, but it can be assumed that the Study will take approximately four months to complete.
The Council will be asked for input at various check points along the way, which likely will be in a workshop setting.
Ultimately the Council will be asked to consider accepting the Study after a formal presentation as part of a future
regular meeting agenda item.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council authorize entering into a contract with Snow Kreilich Architects for the Facilities
Planning Study.

needs, etc.

compared to investment in existing facilities. The feasibility of these options shall include, but not
be limited to:

RE: PROPOSAL FOR FACILITIES PLANNING STUDY (NO. 21-12)
Dear Mr. Howley and Members of the Selection Committee,
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your Request For Proposal for completion of a facilities planning study.
We are impressed with the City’s investment of time, research, and detailed analysis in your City of Chanhassen
2040 comprehensive plan. Your key values of innovation, respect, stewardship, and engagement are impressive
and appropriate in your goal to create a community for life. The FY 2021-2024 strategic plan is well thought out
and we see a great opportunity for our team to work together with you as a strategic partner to help accomplish
your goals outlined in your RFP and inform a long term facilities master plan.
Our Snow Kreilich Architects and Kraus-Anderson Construction team has experience working with Cities, State
Agencies, the Federal Government and private clients to re-evaluate, assess, and consider how their property
and structures can be reimagined to better serve their needs. We seek out partnerships with mission driven
organizations like the City of Chanhassen who share our own values to provide design services that are thoughtful,
sustainable, practical and create inspiring environments to live, work, or play in. Our process always is grounded
with a realistic, pragmatic understanding of how ideas can become real construction projects. Kraus-Anderson
Construction Company is a trusted partner to provide input on facilities assessment, construction logistics,
sequencing and probable costs of ideas we test with you. Kraus-Anderson’s facilities assessment team is
currently working with ISD 112 and already has familiarity with the Recreation Center as a part of their ongoing
work with the school district. Our team offers the opportunity to take advantage of this work in process to better
inform the outcome for the City of Chanhassen and help strengthen strategic decision making between the school
district and the City.
We appreciate the opportunity to learn more about the City of Chanhassen and appreciate your consideration.
Your involvement and success in Minnesota’s Green Step Cities program shows your commitment to sustainability
and being a leading City in our state. We also recognize that this request for proposal is another step forward in
ensuring your continued success and growth. We hope to convey our passion and commitment to your current

WORKPLAN
a. Preparation of summary report of five existing facilities
The facility assessment process will use in-person, visual evaluation of the five facilities identified; the City Hall, fire station 1, fire station 2, the recreation center, and the Historic Old Village Hall building. In addition other City public works and library facilities will be evaluated to understand all existing property managed by the City. This initial step during our phase one work will focus on taking inventory of what exists on the City’s properties now. This evaluation will focus on site features and building structures and their equipment systems. There are two primary objectives outlined in our proposed process.
1. Evaluation of physical condition
• Understand the history of each site and structure and prior improvements completed over their timelines• Confirming age of materials, systems and equipment• Understanding life cycle expectations for current conditions• Identify damage or areas in need of maintenance
2. Evaluation of system performance
• Understand if active equipment is operating correctly and at its highest efficiency »Review operable assemblies such as doors, windows, etc. »Verify performance of mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems (if present)• Understand performance of static assemblies »Verify performance of wall / roof insulation »Verify performance of building envelope to resist water and moisture transmission• Evaluate operational performance based on current use and space requirements
Tasks included in this process- Physical site and building tours- Interviews and discussions with staff- Photographic and video recording of existing conditions- Creation of architectural drawings for use in evaluating each property and/or structure
Deliverables- Summary report of all documentation and facility analysis- Programmatic summary of current operational space use- Presentation of evaluation information to the Public Works Committee- Interactive workshop with City Council
The process will be one of discovery, exploration and implementation; investigating existing conditions and engaging staff to best assess the future of these facilities for the next 5, 10 and 20 years. With the recent impact of COVID-19 across our country and within our communities, we will fold into the design process considerations for both the physical space designs but also your engagement process with the public.

CITY RESPONSIBILITIES
This proposal assumes that the City and its staff will be available to participate in the design process and make decisions and approvals that may be necessary in a timely manner in order to maintain the overall project schedule.
The City of Chanhassen Facilities Planning Study is
proposed to be organized into two, four week long phases.
The first phase, defined as “inventory and assess needs”
is all about gathering information, analyzing it, meeting
with users to understand their experiences, and finally
concluding with a realistic, data driven assessment of
existing conditions, needs, and opportunities to maximize
the potential of change.
The second phase, defined as “synthesis and schematics”
will react to the information gathered and results of
analysis. The goal of this effort is to test possiblities, not
only for how the sites and buildings could be physically
changed, but also how those changes effect the experience
of everyone who uses them. These conceptual tests /
schematic studies will be evaluated against their critical
metrics such as; efficiency, budget, sustainability, and
feasibility to ensure they are aligned with the City’s goals
and expectations.

Any approval by the City for development of the property must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The
applicant has submitted the proposed changes to City Code. Staff prepared a strikethrough and bold format to show
recommended changes and has highlighted in yellow, changes as a result of the Planning Commission meeting.
Chapter 1
Section 12 Rules of Construction
Agritainment Agricultural, horticultural, or agribusiness activity that allows for recreation, education,
entertainment, and tourism in conjunction with agriculture support and services directly associated with on
going agricultural activities on site.organizations or members of the general public, for the purpose of recreation,
education or active involvement to view, enjoy, or participate in rural activities of a farm or farmrelated operation .
Uses Events and activities include the following: hayrides, corn mazes, hay mazes, petting zoos (farm
animals only), produce picking, active, historical farms, tours and demonstrations.including corn mazes,
hayrides, pumpkin picking, corn pits, hill slides, pumpkin throwers, lookout towers, zip lines, straw bale mazes, apple
picking, play structures, antique tractor displays, sawmill demonstrations, hay stacks, kiddie trains, animal rides, sleigh
rides, snowshoeing, maple syrup harvesting, cross country skiing, mountain biking, sledding hills, archery/ax
throwing, are exhibited regardless of compensation.
Staff’s intent was to create a more generalized definition of Agritainment and to highlight that the use is in
support of and in conjunction with an ongoing agricultural use of the property.
Chapter 20, Zoning
Article IV, Division 3, Standards for Agricultural and Residential Districts
Sec. 20251.5 Agritainment.
The following conditions will apply to Agritainment activities:
1) The site must be zoned Agriculture “A2”.Plans shall be required showing the location of all
improvements, structures or proposed activity areas.
2) The site must be on and have access to a collector or minor arterial.
3) The minimum lot size shall be 20 acres.
4) The site must have 25 50% of its land being used as “agriculture” as defined in Sec. 12. “Rules of
construction and definitions”.
Staff proposed this change to note that the site is to be used as an ongoing agricultural use of the property.
By definition, a farm must have a minimum of ten acres. Fifty percent of 20 acres is ten acres.
5) All structures, parking,and storage areas must be set back 50 feet from public or private rightsof
way, and 300 feet from any adjacent singlefamily residences or a minimum of 50 feet from a side lot line,
whichever is greater.
6) Parking plan shall be supplied with permit detailing size, capacity, and location. Parking areas shall be
limited to onsite parking. Parking areas shall be set back 50 feet from public rightofway unless
screened.Accessible parking shall be shown on the plans and must be on an accessible surface.
The number of accessible spaces shall be based on the maximum parking capacity.
The applicant suggested that the parking should be grouped under one heading. They proposed that parking
should be permitted closer to the rightofway than 50 feet. The planting of rows of corn adjacent to the
parking area could provide the screening required and allows for parking setbacks less than 50 feet.

parking area could provide the screening required and allows for parking setbacks less than 50 feet.
7) The maximum number of persons to be using the facility at any one time needs to be tied in the
application permit or tied to 80% parking capacity as outlined in the permit plan. This allows variations of
seasonal activities layouts.

and birdhouses.Retail items promoting the establishment with its name are permitted .
Staff wanted to be sure that retail items would be directly related to the farm use of the property. Retail items
promoting the establishment could lead to allowing any commercial activity that include the Degler name. It
is not the intent of the District to permit the retail sale of “Degler” shirts and pants, calendars and nick
knacks, farm implements, sporting goods, etc. The proposed use of the property should be related to and
ancillary to the farming use of the site. Retail businesses are not appropriate in the Agricultural District.

justification for why erosion and sediment control may not be necessary. In addition, if City staff
identifies that erosion and sediment control issues are created or persist during the duration of the

these issues. All appropriate temporary erosion and sediment control measures shall be maintained
by the owner until the permit is closed out.

LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-
MAKING:
The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving zoning code amendments
because the City is acting in its legislative or policy-making capacity. A zoning code
amendment must be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
The City has limited discretion in approving or denying interim use permits, based on whether or
not the proposal meets the use standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. If the City finds that all
the applicable use standards are met, the permit must be approved. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet.
PROPOSED MOTION:
“The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends City Council approve City Code
amendments to section 1-2, 20-251.5, and 20-576 regarding Agritainment; An Interim Use Permit
(IUP) for Agritainment Use at 9111 Audubon Road;
And
Adopt of the Findings of Fact and Recommendation.”

ANALYSIS
The Engineering Department has reviewed the IUP and Ordinance amendment submittal for 9111
Audubon Road (Degler Farm Center). These comments are divided into two categories: general
comments and proposed conditions. General comments are informational points to guide the
applicant in the proper planning of public works infrastructure for this proposal, to inform the
applicant of possible extraordinary issues and/or to provide the basis for findings. Proposed
conditions are requirements that Engineering and Public Works recommend to be formally imposed
on the submittal in the final order. Note that references to the “City Standards” herein refer to the
City of Chanhassen Standard Specifications and Detail Plates.
General Comments/Findings
1. Any and all plans submitted with this application have been reviewed only for the purpose of
determining their feasibility and providing utility and transportation facilities for the IUP in
accordance with City Standards. A recommendation of IUP approval does not constitute
final approval of details, including but not limited to alignments, materials and points of
access, connection or discharge, that are depicted or suggested in the application. The
applicant is required to submit updated plans for the project, as applicable. The City of
Chanhassen Engineering and Public Works Departments will review plans, in detail, when
they are submitted and approve, reject or require modifications to the plans or drawings
based upon conformance with City Standards, the Chanhassen Code of Ordinances and the
professional engineering judgment of the City Engineer.
2. It is the opinion of the Engineering Department that the proposed IUP can be developed in
accordance with the requirements of the Chanhassen Code of Ordinances (as it pertains to
Engineering and Public Works requirements) and City Standards, provided it fully addresses
the comments and conditions contained herein, and can be approved.
3. The applicant is proposing; (a) to amend Ordinance to define “Agritainment”/”Agritourism”;
(b) create standards and criteria for an Agritainment use as an Interim Use; (c) allow
Degler Farm Code Amendments and IUP
July 6, 2021
Page 7
Agritainment uses as an Interim Use in the Agricultural Estate District; and (d) receive an
Interim Use Permit (IUP) for an Agritainment Use on Property Located at 9111 Audubon
Road (Degler Farm Center).
a. The applicant has provided proposed language for the definition of Agritainment.
The definition has no direct impact on public infrastructure (sanitary sewer, storm
sewer, water, transportation, etc.) and as such, Engineering and Public Works have no
comments or associated conditions.
b. The applicant has provided proposed criteria for an Agritainment Interim Use. None
of the criteria proposed addresses the potential impact Agritainment activities may
have on the abutting and surrounding road networks in which ingress/egress to the
site is had from. It is the judgement of the Engineering and Public Works
departments that an Agritainment Interim Use site would increase traffic volumes to
and from the site as the activities differ from that of typical agricultural sites. Based
on the proposed definition, any proposed Agritainment Interim Use site could offer
recreational activities and amenities that generate larger volumes of traffic throughout
the year such as zip line courses, hay rides, and outdoor recreational activities, than
are commonly associated with typical agricultural uses. In order for staff to evaluate
the traffic impacts of any potential Agritainment Interim Use site, an initial
assessment of expected traffic volumes must be provided in order for staff to assess if
the abutting and surrounding road network can facilitate the expected increase in
traffic. See proposed condition 1.
c. The applicant has proposed that Agritainment be authorized through an Interim Use
in the Agricultural Estate District. Engineering and Public Works departments agree
that the Interim Use is the correct mechanism for Agritainment, and have no
additional comments or associated conditions.
d. The applicant has proposed that an Agritainment Interim Use be approved for 9111
Audubon Road (Degler Farm Center). Degler Farm abuts Carver County right-of-
way. See proposed condition 2. It is the opinion of the Engineering and Public Works
departments that the proposed IUP for Degler Farm Center can be approved provided
it fully addresses the comments and conditions provided by the Engineering and
Public Works departments. As the proposed Ordinance has yet to be adopted, see
proposed condition 3.
e. Parking capacity shall be based on the city standard parking lot layout. (18-foot deep
x 9-foot stall width with a 26-foot, two-way drive aisle.)
The Water Resources Department has reviewed the IUP and Ordinance amendment submittal for
9111 Audubon Road (Degler Farm Center). These comments are divided into two categories:
general comments and proposed conditions. General comments are informational points to guide the
applicant in the proper planning of public works infrastructure for this proposal, to inform the
applicant of possible extraordinary issues and/or to provide the basis for findings. Proposed
conditions are requirements that Water Resources recommends to be formally imposed on the
submittal in the final order.
General Comments/Findings
Degler Farm Code Amendments and IUP
July 6, 2021
Page 8
1. Any and all plans submitted with this application have been reviewed only for the purpose of
determining their feasibility and their impact on water resources issues for the IUP in
accordance with City Standards. A recommendation of IUP approval does not constitute
final approval of details. The applicant is required to submit updated plans for the project, as
applicable. The City of Chanhassen Water Resources department will review plans, in detail,
when they are submitted and approve, reject or require modifications to the plans or drawings
based upon conformance with City Standards, the Chanhassen Code of Ordinances and the
professional judgment of City Staff.
2. It is the opinion of the Water Resources department that the proposed IUP can be developed
in accordance with the requirements of the Chanhassen Code of Ordinances (as it pertains to
Water Resources requirements) and City Standards, provided it fully addresses the comments
and conditions contained herein, and can be approved.
3. The applicant is proposing; (a) to amend Ordinance to define “Agritainment”/”Agritourism”;
(b) create standards and criteria for an Agritainment use as an Interim Use; (c) allow
Agritainment uses as an Interim Use in the Agricultural Estate District; and (d) receive an
Interim Use Permit for an Agritainment Use on Property Located at 9111 Audubon Road
(Degler Farm Center).
a. The applicant has provided proposed language for the definition of Agritainment.
The definition has no direct impact on water resources (wetlands, storm sewer,
shoreland, etc.) and as such Water Resources has no comments or associated
conditions.
b. The applicant has provided proposed criteria for an Agritainment Interim Use. There
does not appear to be any language in this criteria related to erosion and sediment
control. With the interim use of Agritainment, there is an increased risk of erosion
and sediment leaving a site due increased car/traffic on exposed soils/bare ground,
increased dust creation, etc. The Water Resources department proposes that language
be added to require the applicant to include erosion and sediment controls on the
permit submittal, or for the applicant to provide justification for why erosion and
sediment control may not be necessary. In addition, the City should maintain the right
to require erosion and sediment control if issues are identified after permit has been
approved and the IUP is underway. Language to include can be found in condition 1
below.
c. The applicant has proposed that Agritainment be authorized through an Interim Use
in the Agricultural Estate District. Water Resources agrees that the Interim Use is the
correct mechanism for Agritainment, and has no additional comments or associated
conditions.
d. The applicant has proposed that an Agritainment Interim Use be approved for 9111
Audubon Road (Degler Farm Center). In general, the proposed IUP and its
subsequent uses will not greatly affect water resources issues. However, the southern
half of the Degler Farm property exists within the Bluff Creek Overlay District. The
Bluff Creek Overlay District (BCOD) exists to protect the Bluff Creek corridor,
wetlands, bluffs, and significant stands of mature trees through the use of careful site
design, protective covenants, sensitive alignment and design of roadways and
utilities, incorporation of natural features, landscaping, techniques outlined in the
city’s surface water management plan, and the practices delineated in the city’s
surface water management plan. As part of the development of the District, City staff
Degler Farm Code Amendments and IUP
July 6, 2021
Page 9
have created a signpost that reads “BCOD Conservation Area.” This signpost serves
to educate the public about where the District exists and delineates the boundary of
the District. While the applicant is not proposing any development or increased hard
cover within the District, the applicant is proposing to incorporate a hayride that
would be partially within the BCOD. City staff feels that this is an ideal scenario to
incorporate the BCOD Conservation Area sign posts. See condition 2 below. In
addition, the applicant is proposing a hayride route that appears to cut through an
agricultural wetland on the eastern side of the route. While this is not considered a
wetland impact, the applicant should consider moving the eastern side of the route
even further east, in order to avoid driving equipment/tractors through the wetland.
See condition 3 below. Lastly, temporary erosion and sediment control measures
should be included with the permit submittal. These measures include, but are not
limited to, perimeter controls to protect Bluff Creek, dust control, restoration after the
event ends, etc. The applicant will need to include these erosion and sediment control
measures on their permit submittal or provide justification for why erosion and
sediment control is not necessary on this site. See condition 4 below.
MISCELLANEOUS
The IUP shall be approved for a period of five (5) years from the date of City Council approval. The
applicant will need to request a formal extension 60 days prior to the expiration date of the IUP.
This timeframe shall allow for the use to get established on the site and the City to evaluate the
impact of the use on the community.
Section 20-323. – Termination.
An interim use permit (IUP) shall terminate on the happening of any of the following events,
whichever first occurs:
(1) The date stated in the permit;
(2) Upon violation of conditions under which the permit was issued;
(3) Upon change in the city’s zoning regulations which renders the use nonconforming;
(4) Upon the subdivision of the property or the alteration of the lot lines of the property.
Any change in use of the current buildings on site, including the barn, will require it to come up to
full Code. This will invoke MN Statute 1306, which will require the buildings to be fitted with a Fire
Suppression System and Fire Alarm System to monitor the Suppression System. We would also
need to address egress, exit and emergency lighting, door hardware, fire-rated construction, and
many other fire code-related items when it comes to change in use and access to the general public.
This includes bringing people through and any access or use of an observation tower. Tower will
need to be built to current Code.
Safety concerns with the items on site such as: pumpkin canons, pumpkin catapult, zip lines, swings,
etc. Who will be verifying that these items are built to Code for use by the general public and any
resulting dangers for use? Department of Labor and Industry may be responsible for overseeing
licensing for these items.

Corn/Straw Mazes – any and all ignition sources will need to be a great distance away, including
open flame (recreational fire pits). Corn/straw mazes are highly combustible and can trap people
inside if a fire develops. Some research into history of corn maze fires states all vehicle parking and
any sources of ignition, such as campfires and smoking, to be at least 75 feet away at all times.
Emergency Responder access – will need to maintain emergency vehicle access to all areas on site
and entrance and egress. Will require proper road surface for emergency and fire vehicles. Possible
vehicle turnaround area depending on distances.
Will require a fire hydrant to be placed on site.
Language stating use of Agricultural Buildings Sec 20 #8 Stating “Accessory Agriculture buildings
used for Agritainment Events must meet existing Building Code, or be approved by the City’s
Engineering department prior to use. Intent is to allow provision for use of existing agricultural
buildings where special building use is requested.” This language would not be sufficient to address
buildings on site for use for events. Existing buildings will more than likely change in occupancy
type for this type of business, which will require both the Fire Marshal and Building Official to
confirm use, occupancy type, and applicable codes for public use. A full architectural analysis would
be required into items such as: fire safety, egress, structural integrity, use and occupancy type, as
well as many other applicable codes. Special permission will not be given to leave existing buildings
“as is” for use in Agritainment activities.
PERMITS
Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies must be obtained; including but not limited to the
Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, Minnesota Agricultural Department, Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency, Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District and Carver County.
Carver County Public Works staff requested the applicant submit general traffic information about
the proposed use including the expected average daily traffic using the site and the peak hour or at a
minimum the peak daily traffic expected.
This information will be a starting point for Carver County’s review in order to make any
determinations regarding related event traffic control measures and/or access improvement needs.
UTILITIES
City utilities are available to the property. Water is located in Audubon Road. Sewer is located in
Lyman Boulevard and at the northeast corner of the property. However, none have been extended
into the interior of the site.
Sanitary facilities shall be provided for use of the visitors to the site. Such use shall comply with
Building Code or meet the requirements for chemical toilets spelled out in the Agritainment
Standards.
RECOMMENDATION
Degler Farm Code Amendments and IUP
July 6, 2021
Page 11
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the amendments to
Chapters 1 and 20 regarding Agritainment uses and the Interim Use Permit to permit the
Agritainment use on the property subject to the following conditions:
Code Amendments:
Revise per staff recommendations.
Interim Use Permit
Building:
1. Accessible parking shall be located on an improved, centralized, permanent surface and shall
be based on the maximum parking provided based on the rotational parking plan.
2. The use of structure shall comply with Building and Fire Code occupancy requirements.
Engineering:
1. All conditions set forth by Carver County shall be addressed by the applicant, and all permits
required shall be obtained prior to the commencement of Agritainment operations.
2. The applicant shall provide an initial analysis of the “before” and “after” operational traffic
impacts to the abutting and surrounding road system resulting from proposed plans
associated with the interim use and associated traffic movements and volumes in order to
identify capacity deficiencies at affected intersections and to help identify feasible solutions
to the deficiencies prior to the commencement of any Agritainment operations.
3. Parking capacity shall be based on city standard parking lot layout.
Fire:
1. Any change in use of the current buildings on site, including the barn, will require them to be
brought up to full Code.
2. Corn/Straw Maze – any and all ignition sources will need to be a great distance away,
including open flame (recreational fire pits).
3. All vehicle parking and any sources of ignition, such as campfires and smoking, shall be at
least 75 feet away at all times.
4. Emergency Responder access – will need to maintain emergency vehicle access to all areas
on site and entrance and egress. Will require proper road surface for emergency and fire
vehicles.
5. Will require a fire hydrant to be placed on site.
Planning:
1. The applicant must obtain all required state licensure and permits.
2. The Interim Use Permit shall be approved for a period of five (5) years from the date of City

Page 12
3. Buildings and use areas shall be as shown on the approved “site plan”. Additional use areas
or buildings shall require an amendment to the Interim Use Permit.
4. Sanitary facilities shall be provided for site visitors.
5. Site shall be open for inspections by City staff with advanced notice.
Water Resources:
1. The applicant shall incorporate Bluff Creek Overlay District (BCOD) Conservation Area
signage within the BCOD portion of the site. These signposts would not impede the
applicant’s ability to use the site for agriculture. Precise number and location of signage can
be determined when further plans are submitted and must be approved by the City’s Water
Resources Coordinator.
2. The applicant shall move the eastern hayride route even further east, in order to avoid driving
through an agricultural wetland. The applicant can work with the City’s Water Resources
Coordinator to determine a more appropriate location.
3. The applicant shall show erosion and sediment controls on their permit submittal, or provide
justification for why erosion and sediment control measures are not necessary. However, City
staff believes that, due to the applicant’s proposed use of the site, in particular parking on
agricultural fields, this site is at risk of increased dust control issues. Staff feels that an
erosion and sediment control plan be submitted which shows dust control measures. Some
other potential erosion and control measures the applicant should consider includes perimeter
controls to protect Bluff Creek and a restoration plan for after the event ends, etc. Erosion
and sediment controls will need to be approved by City staff before the permit can be issued.
The City retains the right to require further erosion and sediment control measures if issues
are identified after the IUP has been approved and is underway.
4. No grading or vegetative alterations shall be permitted in the BCOD Primary Zone.
And
Adopt the Findings of Fact and Recommendation.

Degler Farm Narrative & site plan
Brief Background:
Degler Farm has an extensive background in farming and educational teaching. Family founded by
multi- generational elementary and high school educators; Degler Farm has a passion for educating
youth. Our mission is to educate local youth on the operation, economics, and future of agriculture. In
this spirit, Degler Farm would like to be more community facing through the growing area of
Agritainment. We want to bring our passion for education and combine it with farm friendly activities.
This “outside the classroom” learning on the farm is not only instructive, but fun. We see it as another
yet another way to reach our neighbors and local community.
Activity: Description: Education component:
Hay rides -Give participants a ride on a
tractor pulled wagon.
Local farm history in Chanhassen
Tree identification
Corn Maze -Participants walk through a
corn cut maze
How corn is grown
Corn Pit -Area of shelled Corn for play What shelled corn looks like –
differences between sweet corn and
field corn.
Straw Bale Maze -Smaller kid size maze What is straw?
Pumpkin Picking -Pick your own Crop rotation and plant care
Antique Tractor
Displays
-Outdoor tractor displays Evolution of the farm tractor.
Snowshoeing -Snowshoeing Outdoor fitness & nature etiquette,
animal tracking
Other activities:
Hill slides, pumpkin throwers, lookout towers, zip lines, apple picking, saw mill demonstrations,

Parking Size/Capacity:
A one acre parking lot with
only lanes and spaces could fit
approximately 150 cars.
Assuming we are going with
box (90 degree) parking, the
dimensions of the space
required to park two cars is

+ 21 foot travel lane + 17.5 foot
space) square feet. Shown on
map are approximate parking
car capacities
Parking Location:
The 3 lots are options shown
as rotational placements of
parking. We will still farm the
acres and plant a permeable
tough alfalfa grass mix which
has deeper root base, tough
enough for driving over.
Entrances/exits are from
Audubon Road and marked
with dotted lines.
Expected Use:
In 2020 the most cars we had on
the premise was 25 cars parked at
1 time. (40 on a Saturday)

DRAFT June 2021
Questions/concerns about the Degler Agritainment Proposal adjoining our property at 9231
Audubon Road:
1 Office/industrial and parks/open space was the old plan. What is the nmr plan for the zoning
of our property?
2 ls the old plan for a road running from the Lyman lift station through Degler's property at
9211 Audubon Rd to take Drive now dead?
3 Water ls available along our Audubon boulevard. Saler is pending. What doesthat mean?
4 What is the county/city going to do about the extra traffic along Audubon Road from the
Lyman stoplight to the Autumn Woods/Butternut stoplight? lt's already bumper to bumper
due to Chanhassen High and the business parks, not to mention the coming Lennar and
Avienda Developments proposed. ls a round-about at Degler's driveway the answer?
5 The number of cars in the three proposed parking lots on Deghrs property is shocking when
filled tocapacity. Howwill cars be funneled in and out of Degler's driveway efficiently? This
gives us visions of the Renaissance Fair backup.
6 What are thelirnits.sn nsise levels? ln t?re past, rre've been abh to hear the Deglers yelling
from inside their bam over the sound of their milking roachines. What will rit be like when
there will be groups of extra people yelling, screaming and cheering?
7 The Degler Agritainment hours proposed are too long also. Families in the neighborhood are
trying to put their young kids to bed when it gets dark out and they don't need the extra noise.
8 Then there is the problern of Degler's guests spilling oy€r onto our property. We expect
there will be "exploring/trespassing'like a free'for-all. (We've already had kids from the new
housing/apartments around us coming into our yardn/buildings. So we now have to put locks
on our barn/streds for safety reasons.)
9 Because of the above concerns, we feel that it is time to market our property. What would
the City of Chanhassen like to see at 9231 Audubon Road? From start to fin'rsh, how long is
Degler's Agritainment Development going to take?
Sincerely,
George and Connie 5t. Martin 952-MS-6219
Degler Farm
May 2021
Why are we here?
Covid made people find local fall activities.
•We saw an increase in our fall activities.
•We want add to our activity list, but discovered these activities are not addressed by current city code.
•Create a new definition in the city code -“Agritainment” / “Agritourism”
•Create criteria for what defines and is allowed in an Agritainment permit.
•Amend city code to include Agritainment as a New Interim Use for the “A-2” district.

Local, family-owned, and family-friendly! This place is a hidden gem and our group of 4 20-somethings had a BLAST! The farm has so many fun
attractions -we did them all over the span of about 2 hours and highly recommend that you try them all as well to get the most out of your
experience! The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, and so fun to chat with. See you again next year -Abbi
Today I went with my boyfriend, my friend, and my sister to visit on our shared day off, and boy was it a treat. The place wa s great, the owners
very friendly, and the weather worked out (as it is, of course, something they control). I like laying siege to a hillside using a cannon and trebuchet
(the superior weapon). Unfortunately, I could not launch my friend Cameron into the abyss below. Overall great time, and I go t a free pumpkin for
stopping by, which made the day better. Will stop back next year they are open, thanks, Degler (times like, 8 of them)! -Dominic
We had a fantastic experience! The space is smaller and intimate, run by a family. You can feel the love that went into creat ing this place.
Would definitely go back! -Malana
We had a great time here today. The hay ride was excellent. Such a
beautiful property. -Jason
Wonderful place! Most fun I’ve had with my kids! They loved it there! 100%
Recommendation! -Jesse
I launched a pumpkin really, really far (like really far), it was really fun. I'll make sure to visit every
year, and the wife was a fan too! -Dom

Brief Background:
Degler Farm has an extensive background in farming and educational teaching. Family founded
by multi-generational elementary and high school educators; Degler Farm has a passion for
educating youth. It’s in our DNA. Our mission is to educate local youth on the operation,
economics, and future of agriculture. In this spirit, Degler Farm would like to be more
community facing through the growing area of Agritainment. We want to bring our passion for
education and combine it with farm friendly activities. This “outside the classroom” learning on
the farm is not only instructive, but fun. We see it as another yet another way to reach our
neighbors and local community.

Dear water suppliers in areas with severe drought conditions,
With more than 50 percent of Minnesota experiencing severe drought and some areas experiencing extreme
drought, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has determined that the state is now in the
drought warning phase. With this designation, the DNR and others are taking additional steps such as restricting
some water uses.
Water Supplier Actions Needed
The State Drought Plan specifies actions that water suppliers must implement once the state is elevated to
drought warning phase.
1. Population over 1,000 - Public water suppliers implement appropriate water use restrictions contained
in their Water Supply Plan.
a. Your plan can be found in your MPARS account, under the Attachments tab.
b. Begin implementing your Water Supply demand reduction measures in Plan Part 2 (Tables 18,
19). These actions can be supported by measures that are identified in the Water Supply Plan,
Part 3 Water Conservation.
2. All Water Suppliers - Public water suppliers will implement water use reduction actions with a goal of
reducing water use to 50% above January levels.
a. For example: A city uses 4 million gallons of water in January, and normally uses 6.8 million in
August. During the drought warning phase, they should only use 6 million gallons in August.
b. Websites with water conservation messages: DNR Water Conservation webpage and
https://www.ready.gov/drought.
Significant demand reduction is achievable by restricting or banning non-essential outdoor water use, especially
lawn irrigation, power washing buildings, car washing and swimming pool filling. Encourage customers to fix
leaks, install water saving devices and water-efficient appliances. Have conversations with your biggest water
users and ask them how they might reduce water use, especially during peak times.
Use a variety of communication methods: Large exterior signs around the community, mailing/emailing all
customers, radio station announcements, Facebook posts or other social media, and a news release to any local
media. Explain the critical situation and that you need everyone’s help. Ask customers to conserve water as
much as possible.
Other Suggestions:
• During times of severe drought, monitor your water levels closely. Keep in mind that water quality may
be impacted by increased concentrations of contaminants.
• Please alert your local DNR hydrologist to any water supply concerns or issues during the summer.
• Sign up to receive GovDelivery updates about drought in Minnesota, drought preparations and
response, and important ways to conserve water.
