Nyberg by Fax Jan. 18, 1998; 644-9446 Re: Chanhassen 1998 Trail Project Property Owner: David and Sharon Gatto 9631 F oxford Road Chanhassen MN 55317 January 18, 1998 Da\~d; The purpose of this correspondence is to respond to various letters and notices recently sent out by your organization and the City of Chanhassen. As you are aware our property is included in the future plans for the new "Trail Project". Since the first correspondence your firm bas represented in \\'ritten form and verbally in the informational meeting on December 3, 1996, that the property owners would be contacted for compensation on land encroachment of the trail and new easements required Additionally, at the infoTInational meeting it was indicated that Carver Cowrty was contacted regarding placement of the trail closer to the Cowrty road to mitigate all of the problems pertaining to property compensation and tree destruction. The latest correspondence indicates that "Individual On-site Meetings" have been completed. TIus is false. To date your firm has not contacted Sharon, myself or any of our neighbors, nor have the survey stakes been moved to indicate placement of the trail has changed. We are in favor of the new trail, but will not tolerate encroachment on our propeny, the destruction of trees as indicated in your plans and as indicated on the physical survey of the future trail, or false representation in both \\'ritten and verbal fOIDI. Your fiml has chosen to totally ignore all of the comments from the landowners pertaining to the preservation of the existing trees in our neighborhood and especially on our property. The trees were planted and/or moved to provide a barrier from the busy streets arOlDld our neighborhood at substantial cost. Your plan provided \'vith the January 14, 1998 notice (which is barely readable) details complete "dear and grub" areas and makes no mention of preservation of our assets, let alone compensation of your encroachment on our property. We request you contact us before the end ofthe day Monday, January 19, 1998 or we will contact legal COlll1Sel to participate ill negotiations and/or assist in stopping this project. Vld J.

The city has approved projects that have non-traditional housing types and these should keep building pennit activity at around the 200 permits a year. With the opening of the senior dining later this year, there may be a need for future senior dining space. The current senior center has seating for 40 persons. Senior programming has continued to grow as does the senior population. The Senior Commission will be looking at ultimate needs as a part of the yearly goals. Because Bandimere Park will be developed this year, the city has lost its compost site. Recycling and composting is still available in Chaska, although staff is concerned that illegal dumping will occur. Carver County Environmental Services wiIl assist the city in providing a match grant to create a recycling center. Staff would like to explore partnering with the Park and Recreation Department or Public Works Department to find a pennanent location. Services Lenl Issues/Unmer Needs The work of the department involves a lot of public contact, especiaIly when there is a controversial planning item. With the ability to use interns, the department is able to meet the greatest demand on our resources during the spring and summer months. Community Development Mission and Current Services Community Development includes the activities associated with Planning, Environmental Services and Water Resources Management. These activities provide staff support to the City Council, Planning Commission, Board of Adjustments and Appeals, Environmental Commission, Senior Commission, and Southwest Metro Transit. Services include administration of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan, forestry services, lake management, Storm Water Management Plan, Community Development Block Grant, and environmental services including compo sting, recycling, and hazardous waste. Budget Highlights The proposed budget has no increase except for cost of living. Water Resources will have an intem for the summer, but the Planning Department will not have one this year. \ 'isio nlAc hicvements Achievements for 1997 include: . Bluff Creek Overlay District . Start of the Comprehensive Plan Update . Senior Dinning . BWSR wetland banking project . Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan (wetland management is not subject to review by BWSR) . RALF for Lakeview Hills . Participation in the Chaska IChanhassen Chamber Business and Retention Program Proposed projects for 1998 include: . Completion of Comprehensive Plan . Update Zoning Ordinances to reflect changes in Comprehensive Plan . Lake Ann Park Water quality improvement (parking lot improvements, ponds) . Lake Susan Restoration (improve water quality for fishing, swimming) . Green Star A ward Program from the Environmental Commission given to programs or individuals that have a positive impact on the environment Futurc Trcnds As the city continues to grow, complaints and code enforcement increases. Staff is spending an increasing amount of time on this issue. The increase of enforcement and the unwillingness to get compliance may increase the demand on legal services. 1998 W orksessions City Council's Mission Statement: To define and communicate a vision for the city.
