PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Presentation of Maple Leaf Award to Dorina Tipton
Mayor Ryan invited Ms. Tipton to the front and read the following:
Dorina Tipton was appointed to the Senior Commission in April 2012. Although she volunteered
her time at numerous City events to serve the public, her most prominent accomplishment was
educating the community on the topic of dementia, a disease that does not discriminate. She
worked relentlessly with City staff, Carver County staff and the Senior Commission members to
establish an “ACT on Alzheimer’s” task force which included City residents, faith communities,
police officers, business owners and social services organizations. Today, Chanhassen is

recognized as a member of the “Dementia Friendly Community.” Dorina’s efforts were
instrumental in putting Chanhassen on the Dementia Friendly Communities map. She attended
training sessions and became a Dementia Friend Technician. She began training City Staff,
business and community members, volunteered to publicly speak on the topic, joined caregiver
support groups, and advocated to establish the Maple Café to host a monthly gathering of people
with Dementia and their caregivers. Dorina was always present as a volunteer to support this
group. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dorina made personal calls to the caregivers that
attended the Maple Café monthly events to check on them and ask if they needed anything. She
delivered Memory Kits to homes as well. November is “Alzheimer’s Awareness Month” and
each November, Dorina set up a table at the library with brochures. She also left her personal
name card for people to contact her with questions in case she wasn’t there in person and she
received multiple calls. Dorina’s other accomplishments include: Volunteering at numerous City
functions such as the 3rd of July Business Expo, Memorial Day fundraising for veterans, and
many other social and service programs. Volunteering at the 4th of July Bingo event sponsored
by the Senior Commission to benefit veterans. Volunteering her time at numerous City events to
serve as a greeter, server, or in any way she might be needed. Educated herself on topics to
better serve seniors by attending Older Adult Mental Health workshops. Walked the trails and
sidewalks of the City to make sure the elderly had enough time to cross streets where there were
traffic signals. Dorina, your support to the Senior Center and the community at large is evident
and these are just a few things that you did that made life better and more comfortable for our
community. You’ve been an instrumental and invaluable member of the Senior Commission. The
seniors in Chanhassen are very fortunate and honored to have had you on their team. We love
you. Thank you, Dorina.
2. Presentation honoring Councilman McDonald
Mayor Ryan noted one more presentation that is not on the Agenda. As many know, Councilman
McDonald was the 18th Annual Chanhassen Rotary’s Distinguished Award Recipient for 2022.
Beyond getting the unique opportunity to be the Grand Marshall in the 4th of July parade, this
award is given to a resident who has gone above and beyond in their service to others. Service
has always been a part of Councilman McDonald’s life from his service to our nation in the U.S.
Navy, extensive volunteerism with organizations in and around Chanhassen, and his tenure as a
City Councilman. He has given much of himself to improve the lives of those around him.
Thoughtful, intuitive, willing to challenge and ask the tough questions, Councilman McDonald is
known for working behind the scenes for those in need as he puts action behind his words. He is
a friend, a colleague, and an excellent Councilman. Mayor Ryan said on behalf of the rest of the
City Council, congratulations, Jerry, on this much-deserved award.
CONSENT AGENDA: Councilman McDonald moved, Councilman Campion seconded
that the City Council approve the following consent agenda items pursuant to the City
Manager’s recommendations:

PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Resolutions 2022-61 and 2022-62: Adopt a Resolution Vacating a Portion of Public
Drainage & Utility Easements within the Edwards Vogel Addition Plat; and Adopt a
Resolution Approving Preliminary and Final Plat for Goodman Homestead
Engineer Henricksen gave a presentation on the item noting the existing site is zoned single-
family and is serviced adequately by public sewer and water. The subdivision is the combination
of Outlot A with Lot 1. The Applicant consulted with Staff to construct a storage shed and the
location would have been over the property line without outlot A and Lot 1, both of which the
Applicant owns. To construct in a more usable location and save tree loss, the Applicant would
like to combine the lots to file for the building permit. The vacation is the six-foot drainage and
utility easement on the eastern property line which will be re-recorded when the lots are
combined. Staff has not received any comments from the public regarding the vacation or the
utilities and Staff supports the vacation. The Planning Commission reviewed the case on June 21,
2022 and voted 7-0 in favor.
Mayor Ryan opened the public hearing.
John Goodman thanked Mr. Henricksen and Mr. Generous for their help on the process. He
noted everything they are doing is within the existing fence and will allow them to build the shed
closer to the property line and allow them to keep a mature maple tree and oak tree.
Mayor Ryan closed the public hearing.
Councilman Campion moved, Councilman McDonald seconded that the City Council
adopt the Resolution approving the Goodman Homestead plat subject to the conditions of
approval; adopt the resolution approving the vacation of a portion of public drainage and
utility easements within the Edwards Vogel Addition as shown on the attached Exhibit A;
and adopt the Findings of Fact. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously
with a vote of 5 to 0.

2. Approve On-Sale Beer & Wine Liquor License for Tono Dakota, LLC doing business
as Tono Pizzeria & Cheesesteaks located at 190 Lake Drive East, Suite 110
Assistant City Manager Matt Unmacht gave a presentation on the item, noting the City received
a request from the Applicant for a new restaurant which will occupy approximately 2,700 square
feet. Tono Dakota, LLC consists of five partners (found in the Staff report) and have submitted a
certificate of insurance showing liquor liability and worker’s compensation which is required
prior to issuance of the liquor license. The public hearing notice was published on June 30 and
mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the site. Staff has not received any comments
from the public.
Councilman McDonald noted the owner of the property came to the City Council and was asked
to provide additional parking spaces; however, he has not seen a plan for that.
Ms. Aanenson replied the Applicant is waiting for approval from the Watershed District for the
stormwater management plan. She does not anticipate any problems with the Watershed District.
Mayor Ryan opened the public hearing.
Antonio Gambino, Applicant, noted it is pretty basic as they sell pizza and cheese steaks, and
beer and wine are a complement to the food and are a small portion of sales.
Mayor Ryan closed the public hearing.
Councilman McDonald moved, Councilman Campion seconded that the City Council
approves an On-Sale Beer and Wine Liquor License for Tono Dakota, LLC doing business
as Tono Pizzeria and Cheesesteaks located at 190 Lake Drive East, Suite 100. All voted in
favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
GENERAL BUSINESS
1. Ordinance 693: Approve the Hackamore Brewing Code Amendment Request
Ms. Aanenson noted this item appeared before the Planning Commission on June 21, 2022 and is
a request for a brewery and taproom with a limited menu. Currently taprooms are permitted but
the restaurant portion is not. The requested change would be to allow a commercial kitchen
accessory to a taproom. She walked through the Staff Assessment including concern over
conversion of industrial to commercial, older buildings not always desirable for modern uses,
and she noted Staff does not believe it would be negatively impacting the surrounding area. Ms.
Aanenson clarified the difference between a brewery (selling their own beer) and a brew pub
(selling all types of beer and/or cocktails). Staff recommends approval of the change and feels
based on the plans it fits in the scale of the building and location.
City Council Minutes – July 11, 2022

Zac Gleason, founder of Hackamore Brewing, stated it is a dream of his to have an upscale,
elevated brewery. The plan is to have fun amenities including a full-sized golf simulator, a stage
for music and night-life, and a full merchandise shop. He noted this will be a unique product and
the food is a large piece of the business plan with a smaller menu of food including elevated pub
fare such as burgers, chicken wings, chicken sandwiches, as he does not want people to leave the
establishment when they get hungry.
Ms. Aanenson noted the Applicant had a very nice business plan and she was happy when they
chose this location as they had looked in a number of different communities.
Councilwoman Schubert moved, Councilman McDonald seconded that the City Council
adopts the attached ordinance amending Chapter 20 of the City Code, concerning
permitted accessory uses in the Industrial Office Park District (IOP). All voted in favor and
the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
2. Santa Vera Residential Development Concept Planned Unit Development (PUD)
Amendment
Ms. Aanenson noted this item appeared before the Planning Commission on June 21, 2022 and
the request is to amend a Concept PUD for a mixed-use development. The site currently has an
apartment building and the Applicant is looking at expanding. The site is guided to allow up to
16 units/acre but has a PUD that restricts that number. Currently there is an 18-unit apartment on
site with a detached garage which is served by City sewer and water. Ms. Aanenson shared about
the PUD noting in 1999 they subdivided the parcel to provide additional park space to the City
which is now a ballfield and was rezoned at that time from R-12 to PUD-R. In the PUD it stated
another 30-unit apartment building would be allowed for a total of 48 units. In 2012 City Staff
went through all the downtown PUDs and all had different standards so Staff tried to codify
those. The Applicant came before the Planning Commission with a schematic looking at 30-35
apartment units in a three-story building, five single-family homes, six town homes, and eight
units added onto the existing unit on site. She noted it went over the density maximum and there
were many concerns from neighbors regarding height of buildings, mix of different types of
product, and visual impacts.
Mr. Henricksen shared this was a conceptual PUD and it is clear that the site would enact many
Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed rules and City rules regarding storm water management
practices. Because of the minimal or deficient stormwater treatment in the area, Staff feels in
order to offset the intensification of the site use it would be a reasonable request to have more
than what is standard stormwater treatment which has been relayed to the Applicant. It could
mean a potential 50% increase over what they would have to do by the letter of rules for the
Watershed and City Ordinances. There are City records that show two small wetlands on the
south side of the site and the delineation will have to be updated. Mr. Henricksen spoke about
site access, residents’ traffic concerns and traffic safety, a required traffic study, and on-site
circulation with adequate turnaround for emergency services.
City Council Minutes – July 11, 2022

Ms. Aanenson noted the Applicant has said they are not sure 30 units is a viable option, noting
they have brought a number of projects to the City which were not sustainable. In order for the
Applicant to receive feedback they need to go through the concept process. The goal tonight is
non-binding feedback for the Applicant. Ms. Aanenson noted the Planning Commission voted 4
to 3 and had some questions. She clarified that there is a revised plan since the Applicant came
before the Planning Commission. Currently it shows a reduction in units to a 30-34 unit
apartment three-story building with four single-family homes, four town homes, and they would
keep the existing building without adding additional units but re-facing the building to update it.
She showed the initial and revised concepts on screen, noting they are asking for an additional 12
units and to allow some single-family homes and town homes which Ms. Aanenson feels is a
nice transition into the neighborhood.
Mayor Ryan noted the City Council has received and read through the minutes from the Planning
Commission as well as from the Applicant. While this is not a public hearing, she welcomes any
new information.
Councilman McDonald has not seen a mix like this within this size of an area and asked what
price points they are looking at, noting the current apartments are affordable.
Ms. Aanenson replied the City did not ask the Applicants to make anything affordable or
subsidized and deferred to the Applicant.
Mayor Ryan noted the traffic concerns and asked about the determination of public and private
streets when looking at Del Rio and Laredo Drives.
Mr. Henricksen replied Staff would support a proposed private street. If the Applicant proposed a
public street it does not necessarily meet some of the requirements they would typically want to
see. One benefit of a private street is that it should also enhance or protect some of the natural
resources. While the concept plan looks fairly built out, the Applicant has expressed a desire to
save some of the trees in the area to allow a more “built-in” or established feel.
Mayor Ryan asked about trail improvements and keeping a park feel to the site.
Ms. Aanenson clarified in the PUD those standards would be put in, and the form will first come
out where the wetlands are that would shape preservation of trees, and after that the City would
look at the type of product, rooflines, sightlines, and how they would be viewed from the exterior
of the site.
Mayor Ryan acknowledged traffic, Chanhassen Elementary, and the challenge in living in those
neighborhoods for drop off and pick up times, as well as entrances and exits in the area.

Mr. Henricksen noted many things will be flushed out within the traffic study, and there are
certain guidelines that will come forth. He said many of the resident comments were noted at the
Planning Commission and would be directed to the third-party traffic study firm.
Mayor Ryan invited the Applicant forward.
Charlie, Doug, and Jerry Hansen, Hansen Hometech, approached the podium and spoke about
the project. Doug Hansen noted the original plot had 8-10 other apartments in 1978 and the
family donated the Hansen field (ball field).
Charlie Hansen stated he lives in the community and has a 5 and 8-year-old that play in those
woods. He understands the traffic issues, he loves Chanhassen, and is the President of the
farmer’s market. He noted they are neighbors and are here to build something that fits the
community and they believe the town houses fit and provide some buffer to the apartment
building which will help the community. Mr. Hansen shared they revised the plan and he has
gone to some barbeques with neighbors and has been in direct contact with them to make sure
the plan fits the community.
Councilman McDonald noted this is an unusual layout for a lot. He asked if the current
apartments are affordable housing and whether the new apartments would also be affordable.
Mr. Hansen replied the new apartments would be market rate and in looking at traffic studies
they are looking at two of the three floors potentially being 55 or older. This would be part of the
strategy to have a little less density with traffic, especially in the morning, noting moving the
demographic may ease some of the morning bus and school traffic. Mr. Hansen said they want to
avoid the cookie cutter development and make it feel organic while keeping the tree cover to
keep a buffer with the school and park.
Mayor Ryan again noted the Council read comments from the Planning Commission meeting but
if anyone made the effort to come this evening she welcomes them to come forward.
David Miller thinks this is one of the greatest con jobs he has ever seen. He spoke about a
previous street project where they wanted to put flower beds in the circles and finally the City
Council got rid of the idiot that was trying to do that, and the Fire Chief said how can they do it?
Mr. Miller thinks this is the same thing happening here and is absolutely unbelievable. His
children walked to school and they cannot tell him with all those people there will not be traffic
problems. That is overdoing a lot that size, period. He is shocked that the City Council will
consider this as it is unbelievable. He said perhaps four-, five-, or six-family homes in there but a
three-story building? He is sorry but this is not right and it is time for people to say enough is
enough. He asked is there another 2-3 story building in this area? No. He asked the City Council
to look into their minds and hearts, and say enough is enough and change it. He would agree with
it if it was single-family homes but not this.
City Council Minutes – July 11, 2022

Mayor Ryan asked if anyone else wanted to come forward with comments. There were no
additional comments. Mayor Ryan asked Ms. Aanenson if this were to go forward, what is the
level of discretion the City Council has, and what can and cannot be changed.
Ms. Aanenson said the Hansen family owned the property over here (noted on screen) and had
entitlements to do 300 apartment units. She stated they still have approval to do a 30-unit
apartment building as that is what the PUD currently states. She said the Hansens are looking for
permission to add the additional townhomes and single-family homes.
Mayor Ryan clarified without any changes to the PUD as it is today the Hansens could move
forward with an additional 30-unit apartment building on the site.
Ms. Aanenson replied that is correct, and they would have to come through site plan approval.
The Hansens are asking for an additional 12 units and for single-family homes. She noted the
City could have them do a PUD and modify that when there are controls over the traffic,
architectures, whether they want senior housing, and those are things the City Council could
incorporate.
Ms. Hokkanen shared the Hansens are asking for up to four additional apartment units (between
30-34 units); they have approval for the 30 or they have the entitlement for the four single-family
homes and four townhomes. The 12 units are made up of all three product types.
Mayor Ryan noted entitlement is a legal definition. She asked at what stage does this come back
for further comment, question, or clarification.
Ms. Aanenson said the concept PUD is not legally binding to any party but in good-faith the City
is trying to give the Applicant direction. Staff has put a laundry list of things they would need to
move forward, the Applicant has heard from the Planning Commission and have already
modified their plans. Now they are waiting to hear from the City Council and will determine how
to move forward based on those comments. It would go back to the Planning Commission for a
public hearing and the City Council would have final say at the next approval process.
Doug Hansen noted the first house he built was 7601 and they sold it for just under $20,000 as a
three-bedroom rambler with a double garage and brick veneer. He noted times have changed and
they are trying to do something to finish the land that he owns, and to make it look good and fit
with the neighborhood which is why they had a few single-family homes in there. He stated they
are open to getting something done and finishing what they can do with the land. He noted it
originally allowed for ten 8-unit buildings (80 units) before they donated or sold the land for the
ball park. He noted they want to do something that is good for the City and would not do
anything that is bad for the City.
City Council Minutes – July 11, 2022

Councilman McDonald would be interested in seeing more detail and how the Applicant would
address some of the issues the PUD would bring up. With more detail he could render better
judgment as to whether they could proceed. He does not think building an apartment building
would be good; he thinks it would be better to have more of a home structure and he appreciates
trying to keep the trees and keep it as a livable lot with a home people could be proud of. Mr.
McDonald thinks what they are looking at building would improve the value of the
neighborhood, and he is concerned with the traffic surrounding the school. He would like more
detail on how the Applicants would make it a community, how it would all play together, and
how it will affect the neighborhoods around them.
Councilwoman Rehm agrees with Councilman McDonald and while it needs to be flushed out
more, she is in favor of adding housing. The idea of building something more people could enjoy
makes sense and she is interested in hearing about the neighborhood park. She is concerned
about traffic but noted that is a concern throughout the City and hopefully that could be
addressed in the next iteration. She is in favor of moving forward in looking at the next step.
Councilman Campion agrees with the Councilmembers and would like to see more detail before
approving anything concrete. The concept is interesting and he is not ruling it out at this point.
Councilwoman Schubert is interested in learning more, especially if the Council does not have a
say over the 30 units. Traffic will be an issue one way or another and she is glad to hear traffic
studies will be done and wants to make sure the City does what they can to mitigate traffic. In
reading through the Planning Commission minutes she appreciated people who live locally,
wanting to design and make sure it fits the neighborhood versus another developer coming in and
saying they will build what they want to build because they can. She appreciates the Hansens’
willingness to work with the City and go back to the drawing board and their willingness to find
creative solutions to problems. She would like to hear more details.
Mayor Ryan agrees with the City Council on moving forward and shares the concerns regarding
traffic, tree preservation, the landscape, and transition from the existing neighborhoods. She
recognizes height as a concern and does not know if a two-story apartment building is an option
and then to change up some of the mixing. She understands the financial component and asked to
explore whether three stories on a hill works in that location. The revitalization of that corner is
exciting and Mayor Ryan thinks it helps the continued growth and reinvestment in that area of
Chanhassen. Overall she supports it but would like to see the next stage and design elements that
go with it. She agrees it is nice to have someone local and that benefits the community.
Councilman McDonald moved, Councilman Campion seconded that the City Council
approves the direction of mixed housing types, issues and concerns in the Planning
Commission Staff Report for the concept Planned Unit Development, and comments made
by the City Council this evening. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously
with a vote of 5 to 0.

1. Request for Agreement for the Issuance of Building Permit Before Demolition of
Existing House - 2961 Washta Bay Court
Ms. Aanenson noted this is not a formal application but was requested by the property owners.
They are requesting to keep the existing house as they are building the new house. The City does
not allow two houses on one lot; the existing house will be demolished when the new house is
finished and the owners are willing to offer escrow to ensure. Staff understands the owner’s
desire and shared the City has entered into this agreement three times previously and in one
instance the dwelling was not removed. The City Attorney has noted that due to issues with non-
compliance another city no longer enters into these agreements. If the City moves forward, Staff
recommendations include the building permit will not be issued unless the new home complies
with all zoning and building requirements; the certificate of occupancy for the new home will not
be issued until a demolition permit has been issued for the old home; the owners will have 30
days to move into the new home and demolish the existing house upon issuance of the certificate
of occupancy; the owners will provide the City with an escrow for 110% of the estimated cost of
demolishing the home to be held until the demolition is complete.
Councilwoman Rehm asked if a timeline is established.
Ms. Aanenson noted it could take nine months to a year.
Councilman McDonald asked how far the City went to enforce the agreement with the house that
was not demolished previously.
Ms. Aanenson is not sure they put escrow on it and thinks the City was reluctant to hire someone
to go pull down a structure on someone else’s property.
Councilman McDonald’s concern is the follow-through as someone may give up the escrow to
keep both houses. He is somewhat in favor of doing this but also wants to make sure the City has
all the assurances and legal pieces in place so there is a method going forward. He wants to see
legal fees built in and while he wants the Applicant to be able to do it he also wants to make it as
painful as possible if they do not comply. In other communities it always comes down to
enforcement.
Councilman Campion asked if the homeowner wanted to subdivide into two lots, is there
anything stopping them.
Ms. Aanenson noted it is a very narrow lot so to subdivide they would need a variance.
Dan Phillips, on behalf of the home owner, said initially the home owner looked at subdividing
but at this point they are just looking to stay in the existing house while building the other house.
If they need to sign something regarding attorney fees he is willing and has given the City
Attorney a signed contract with the demolition company, he can write a binding contract with the
City Council Minutes – July 11, 2022
11
demolition company, or pull the permit ahead of time. Mr. Phillips said it is going to cost
$60,000-80,000 to move out of their house and build another house on a property they already
own and pay taxes on which seems little ridiculous because of an enforcement issue once in the
past. He shared they will knock the house down when they are finished.
The Council discussed adding language about paying the City’s attorney fees.
Ms. Hokkanen wants to make the record clear: if the City gives this approval and the home
owner chooses not to demolish the home on their own within 30 days of being issued the
Certificate of Occupancy, the City would then go out, hire a demolition contractor, and pursue
demolishing a private home on private property. She wants to say it that clearly because it would
be very unusual. For future Councilmembers, she wants it to be clear that this City Council
understood that was a course the City would be willing to take and wrote the agreement to ensure
that the City had that right and protection in terms of costs. If the City ended up in that position,
they indeed intend to act on it.
Councilman McDonald noted a step in between: that the City would go to court to get a
judgment based on the contract that was signed. It is not that the City has decided it will enter
private property and tear down a house, they will enter into property they are allowed to enter
and tear down a house. That is why he wants to make it painful enough so the City can take that
action. They are granting a waiver and he wants to have assurances that the waiver is upheld.
Mayor Ryan noted this is a big ask of City Council and it would have been great if the home
owners had attended tonight and make the ask themselves. It is putting the City in a challenging
situation as they want to allow property owners to live in their house but long term it poses a
potentially difficult situation. While the Council wants to support the resident they also want to
protect the overall City and noted other residents will look at this and look at what they think
they can do on their property. She clarified that is why they must be careful and if approved she
hopes the homeowners understand the seriousness of the issue and that the City Council is
putting faith in their commitment to demolish the house.
Councilman McDonald moved, Councilwoman Schubert seconded that the City Council
approves the agreement allowing owners to stay in the current home while a new home is
being constructed at 2961 Washta Bay Court; and with the addition of comments
concerning restrictions and guarantees discussed at the City Council meeting. All voted in
favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS.
Mayor Ryan thanked Mr. Ruegemer for his staff’s amazing execution of the 4th of July
celebration. Everyone had extraordinarily positive feedback, with great numbers and fun events.
She understands the time involved in planning and thanked the Rotary Club and the many
business partners who support the event.

ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS.
1. Response from Republic Services
Ms. Hokkanen noted a response in the packet from Republic Services. She spoke with the
municipal sales manager who was able to provide good data about what is going on in
Chanhassen. From Republic’s perspective any service issues experienced have to do with yard
waste and in the letter it talks about the approach they are taking. The manager has committed to
share service updates with the City. Ms. Hokkanen said if residents are experiencing trash or
recycling issues they need to follow up directly with Republic so they have that data.
CORRESPONDENCE DISCUSSION. None.
Councilman Campion moved, Councilwoman Schubert seconded to adjourn the meeting.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. The City
Council meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m.
