Providing for Today and Planning for Tomorrow. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan4 1 | Introduction 1.1 | Community Vision Chanhassen is a Community for Life. Providing for Today and Planning for Tomorrow. The update to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan began with a visioning exercise in April of 2016. The visioning process was done with the City Council, and the Planning, Parks and Recreation, Environmental and Senior Commissions. The visioning exercise summary showed that people live in Chanhassen for many reasons. The small-town feel but being within an easy striking distance of big city amenities is important. The parks, lakes, and trails with open space and recreational opportunities are important to people. Chanhassen has community values that are family friendly, promote health, engaging, and close-knit neighbors. It is kid friendly with strong schools and beautiful parks. It is a safe, neighborly place to live with low crime rates. The downtown is attractive and walkable. There are many hous- ing choices and low taxes. Special attractions and community amenities such as the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, Chanhassen Library, Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Paisley Park Museum, fishing, the February Festival and the 4th of July Celebration are available. Chanhassen has been nationally recognized many times as a great place to live. Our reputation is the result of years of dedicated service by many in the community, including our school districts, churches, businesses, civic partners, resi- dents and public officials, all of whom have helped inspire and implement the values and vision that we enjoy today. It is our vision that Chanhassen is a community for life. By providing for today’s needs and planning for tomorrow, we ensure that Chanhassen’s high quality of life is sustainable for future generations. Residents have a strong sense of community built through longstanding traditions, active civic and business organizations, and friendly neighbor- hoods. Residents benefit from a thriving downtown, an extensive park and trail system, excellent schools, countless community events and the preservation and enhancement of our natural amenities. Chanhassen has so many things to offer: a wide range of housing stock to accommodate all budgets and stages of life; two high-performing school districts; a large commercial base so residents can live and work in the community; ample entertainment both in town and in neighboring communities; and, easy mobility in and around Chanhassen by almost any mode of transportation. Residents appreciate these things and take pride in the community. The city recognizes the relationship between employment, housing, and retail demand. Many families have lived here since before Chanhassen was incorporated as a city in 1967. They’ve seen the city grow by 20,000 people in the last thirty years but still manage to keep its small-town charm and appeal. Residents of Chanhassen are very engaged in their neighborhoods and with the city. National Night Out, an annual community-building campaign that encourages residents to hold block parties and get to know their neighbors, contin- ues to be a popular event. The city helps to coordinate efforts and schedules visits from city leaders and safety person- nel, which helps the community feel connected to local government. The fire department consists almost entirely of volunteers who give up their nights, weekends and family time to respond in emergencies. There are citizen commis- sions that work on a specific concern in the city: parks and recreation, planning, senior citizens and the environment. Each commission has between seven and ten members that serve for one to three-year terms and act in an advisory role to the City Council. There is almost always a waiting list to get on any of the commissions. There are also countless opportunities to volunteer for each of the city’s 12 annual community events, meals on wheels, coaching youth sports and many more. All of these help to further the overall sense of community and keep residents in Chanhassen. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan5 1.2 | Development The City of Chanhassen is defined by the Metropolitan Council as Emerging Suburban Edge which is expect- ed to plan for forecasted population growth at densities of at least 3-5 units per acre for new development and redevelopment. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan anticipated a faster rate of growth than what occurred. This was due to the downturn in the housing market in 2009. The city estimates that by 2040 the city will be built out with a population of 37,100. The Comprehensive Plan is designed to serve as a guide for the local decision-making process. The cornerstone of the Comprehensive Plan process is the development and adoption of goals and policies which identify the desired qualities and overall vision for the future of the community. These goals and policies are based on the needs of the city along with the unique characteristics and values of the community. The city recognizes the relationship between employment, housing and retail demand and has strived to balance these factions to make a community for life. 1.3 | Economic Competitiveness Since the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan in 2008, the city has: »Added 400,000 square feet of office industrial space »Added 300,000 square feet of commercial space. »Added 1,085 dwelling units FIGURE 1 | City of Chanhassen’s Largest Employers Source: Survey by City Administration and Finance Departments ( 1 ) The statistic for total city employment is not available, therefore the percentage represents the percentage of the top ten listed.

The city also works with the SouthWest Metro Chamber of Commerce hosting small business roundtables to learn about local business needs. In September of 2016, the city participated in a Carver County initiated/Greater MSP Broker event, an event marketing Carver County as a place to do business. The city and the Carver County CDA have worked together to add a new program to assist new and existing small businesses in the county. The program, called “Open to Business”, provides one on one business counseling to current and prospective entrepreneurs. Open to Business consultants work with entrepreneurs to develop a strong business plan, identify challenges and opportunities, and to tailor solutions to each business. The service is available free of charge to all county residents and any business located in Carver County. The city has secured grants to help businesses defray some of the costs of development. In the last 10 years working with MN Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) and Greater MSP, the city has attracted the following new business: »Federal Packaging relocated to Chanhassen to expand an existing business by building a new 140,800 square foot facility and adding 32 new jobs to the existing 15 jobs over a five year period. »The Bernard Group relocated to Chanhassen in order to expand the size of an existing business. They were able to remodel a vacant building of 156,000 square feet and provide for 581 employees »Emerson Automation Solutions, with the new investments in the oil industry, Emerson has invested $14 million in the converting 30,000 square feet of office space to factory space and added 80 new employees with the potential for more. 1.5 | Redevelopment With the maturing of the downtown core of the city, redevelopment is happening. Buildings older than 30 years are being redeveloped into new business. The city has pursued DEED contamination grants as well as Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCDA) grants to assist in redevelopment. The city is currently conducting an update to its Downtown Vision. The plan will examine current market conditions to strategically direct redevelopment as the maturing businesses and infrastructure redevelop. 1.6 | Pending Projects Avienda With the update of the 2030 Comprehensive plan, the city dual guided 100 acres to either Office or Regional Commercial District. This site has access off Highway 212 and two county roads. The city has been working on the approvals for the project the last two years. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan states: Definition/Vision A mixed commercial district with retail and entertainment uses of a scale and function that serves a regional market. The physical environment emphasizes an attractive, comfortable walking experience for shoppers and visitors and is designed to serve trail users and mass transit as well as automobile traffic. Centers of this type have at least two major retail anchors and are characterized by the diversity and mix of retail and service uses within their boundaries. Uses within this district should complement existing retail users in the other commercial districts. Development of these centers shall be planned as a group of organized uses and structures to accommodate a sensitive transition between commercial activities such as loading, parking of automobiles, lighting and trash collection and surrounding residential uses. Such centers shall be designed with one theme, with similar architectural style, similar exterior building materials and a coordinated landscaping theme. Vehicle and pedestrian access is coordinated and logically linked to provide a City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan7 comprehensive circulation system, building materials and a coordinated landscaping theme. Vehicle and pedestrian access is coordinated and logically linked to provide a comprehensive circulation system. This project includes 5 districts. The goal of this project is to be a walkable mixed-used development »Sub-District 1 - Workplace – provides a location for uses with high concentrations of employees, such as medical/technology related office, and other corporate or institutional uses »Sub-District 2 - The Village – provides the broadest variety, highest density and greatest intensity of development, encouraging both vertical and horizontal mixed use »Sub-District 3 - Commercial – provides a location for large-scale retail and other auto-oriented commercial uses »Sub-District 4 - Multi-Family – provides opportunities for high density senior or rental apartments »Sub-District 5 - Low-Density Residential – provides opportunities for small lot homes The total building square footage for this development will be 1,000,000 square feet of office, and retail with up to 600 dwelling units (including apartments, senior housing and townhomes). The Lifestyle Center was given prelimi-nary approval by the City Council in the spring of 2017. Grading is anticipated to begin in 2020. 1.7 | Goals and Policies 1.7.1 | Land Use Goal 1 Create a mixture of development capable of providing a high quality of life and a reliable tax base. Policies Create a land use plan that can be utilized as a fundamental tool for directing the community’s growth and development. Understand that not all uses generate revenue for the city, and strive for a mixture of development that will both meet the needs of residents and assure the city’s financial health. Encourage development within the MUSA, and support the planned and efficient expansion of urban services to increase the amount of developable land. Support low-density residential development in appropriate areas of the community in such a manner as to maintain the aesthetic of existing single-family areas, and to create new neighborhoods of similar character and quality. Designate sufficient land to provide for a wide spectrum of housing. Adequate land should be set-aside for medium and high-density land uses. The city will discourage the conversion of these areas to lower density uses in order to ensure that the city’s goals of providing a variety of housing options can be met. Chanhassen will continue to direct commercial uses to the central business district. Development outside of the central business district shall complement, rather than compete with the existing commercial core. The city will support the development of neighborhood and local service centers where appropriate. These uses may be developed as part of a mixed-use or Planned Unit Development (PUD); however, development of unplanned and strip commercial centers will be discouraged. Industrial and office developments will be supported as a means of strengthening and diversifying the city’s tax base. These developments should be planned in such a way as to minimize environmental, neighborhood and traffic impacts. Transitions should be created between different land uses. The more incompatible the land uses, the more important the transition zone. Whenever possible natural features should be used to create transitions between incompatible uses. When these natural features are absent, the Land Use Plan supports the creation of buffer yards with increased setbacks containing landscaping and berming to improve the separation of incompatible uses. Development should be commensurate with the ability of the city to provide services. Areas where services are available should be developed before services are extended to new areas. Development should be sought to provide adequate internal street linkages. Growth should be directed so as to make efficient use of the existing road system. Developments should be planned to avoid running high traffic volumes through residential neighborhoods. Areas outside the MUSA shall be preserved as agricultural zones or used to support very low-density development. This area should not be prematurely developed, and the city will discourage the creation and/or expansion of commercial and industrial facilities in this area. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan8 »City services shall not be extended to existing large lot subdivisions without city sewer or water even when they are in the MUSA until the majority of residents request that the city extend its service lines or public health issue arise. In these subdivisions, the smallest permitted lot is 2 1/2 acres. New lots meeting the 2 1/2 requirement may be created, assuming there is a suitable location for septic and well or the availability of city services. »A comprehensive and up-to-date set of ordinances shall be maintained to ensure high-quality developments consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Ordinances shall be reviewed and modified as necessary to improve the quality of new development and ensure they incorporate high-quality design, landscape, etc. »Chanhassen will work with other jurisdiction to combine resources. This includes coordinating and collaborating with cities, counties, Southwest Metro Transit, school districts, and the state on projects of mutual interest such as libraries, public works, collective waste management, arts, transit, recreation, etc. Goal 2 Promote the preservation and protection of valuable historic and cultural resources through community partnerships and collaborations with citizens, non-profits, state, federal, public and private entities.

Policies »Continue to enforce the City Code regarding property maintenance to maintain the existing housing stock. »As state and federal funding permits, efforts should be made to provide low and moderate housing where needed, to provide balance to the generally high cost of new housing. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan9 »The city should promote the use of state and federal programs to reduce land costs for developers of low and moderate-income housing. »The city will cooperate with other governmental units and public agencies to streamline, simplify, and coordinate the reviews required for residential development to avoid inflating the cost of housing due to unnecessary delays in the review process. »The city will continue to encourage the development of affordable housing; the city may increase the permitted net density of a project by 25 percent. The “bonus” units must meet affordable housing criteria as defined by the city. Developers shall be required to enter into an agreement ensuring the affordability of the units. »Subsidized housing should be given equal site and planning considerations to non-subsidized housing units and should not be placed in inferior locations or in areas that do not provide necessary urban services including transit and commercial services. »The city will continue to provide alternative types of homes including smaller lot homes, townhouses, etc. that will supplement the conventional single-family homes. »New residential development shall be discouraged from encroaching into natural resources or physical features. »Housing development methods such as PUDs, cluster development, and innovative site plans and building types, should be encouraged to help conserve energy and resources for housing. »Citizen participation in developing plans and implementing housing programs is encouraged in redevelopment, rehabilitation and in planning for the future. »The city shall require development within the density range given by the Comprehensive Plan. »The city will promote the mixing of housing densities within projects in order to provide a wide range of housing styles and types. Such mixed densities must provide appropriate transitions for existing development. »The city will continue to participate in the Livable Communities Act of 1995 as stated in the Housing Plan. »The city will promote the integration of life-cycle housing opportunities throughout the community. Affordable and subsidized housing shall not be overly concentrated in one area of the city. 1.7.3 | Natural Resources Goal 1 The city recognizes the importance of its natural environment to the quality of life for its citizens and the need to protect and enhance these resources.

The six goals represent the desired long-term outcomes of Chanhassen’s System Plan and were prepared as depictions of how the Parks and Recreation System will function when the guiding principles are achieved. To guide city decision-makers, the general characteristics of each goal are described by a series of policies. Goal 1 Provide a comprehensive system of the park, recreation and open space facilities to serve active and passive needs. Policies »Provide a system that includes neighborhood parks, community parks, preserves and special use parks based on the standards outlined in Table 5-1. »Ensure residents have convenient access to park and recreation facilities at the neighborhood and community park level by ensuring all residents are within a ½ mile of a neighborhood park and 2 miles of a community park. »Provide a mix of athletic complexes with user amenities to meet the needs of recreational, league and tournament play. »Provide user amenities as appropriate for the type of park: »To serve local users walking or biking to their neighborhood park, provide user amenities like benches, bike racks, shade trees, trash and recycling receptacles and seasonal restrooms. »To serve the community and regional users, provide at community parks amenities like benches, picnic tables, bike racks, information kiosks, shelters, permanent restrooms, trash and recycling receptacles and access to technology. »Balance the use of the park and recreational facilities for local needs with events, tournaments, gatherings and programming. »Support year-round recreation through a mixture of indoor and outdoor facilities »Explore opportunities to expand the number and quality of the community’s preserves to protect natural areas that are ecologically sensitive or representative of the city’s natural heritage. »Provide areas for small and large group community gathering through the distribution of shelters in neighborhood and community parks. »Seek opportunities to distribute separated, 2 to 5-year-old playgrounds throughout the community. Goal 2 Maintain a comprehensive and easily navigable trail and sidewalk system that connects neighborhoods to park and recreation facilities, schools, community destinations and other communities. Policies Prioritize the elimination of trail gaps based on safety, connectivity and cost. Create trails within preserves. Improve the trail user experience through improved maintenance, wayfinding and amenities (i.e. benches, trash cans, etc.). Establish trails and sidewalks as a key transportation network in new development. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan12 »Explore opportunities to expand the trail and sidewalk system through neighborhoods to enhance connections to surrounding amenities. »Prioritize the construction of grade-separated crossings of roads for trails based on safety, demand and need warrants. »Preserve vacated or abandoned right-of-way for trail purposes. »Collaborate with local and regional agencies on the establishment of regional trails. »Partner with surrounding communities to create inter-community trail connections that enable users to travel to surrounding communities and regional trails without having to ‘jump’ between different trails and sidewalks. Goal 3 Ensure all residents have the opportunity to participate in recreation, education, cultural and arts activities. Policies »Strive to offer a diversity of programs at a variety of times to serve all age groups. »Explore art, culture and nature-based programming and partnerships to serve non-athletic community needs. »Program and support partners’ events to draw residents to park and recreation facilities. »Encourage, partner with, and support existing associations, clubs and groups to fill programming gaps that the city cannot fill. »Expand partnerships with local schools to serve community needs. Goal 4 Be a leader in environmental sustainability. Policies »Preserve remaining natural areas as opportunities arise. »Support park users’ efforts by offering recycling and/or composting. »Manage the use of pesticides within parks. »Explore opportunities to convert existing turf areas to native plantings. »Reduce impacts on lakes, waterways and groundwater by incorporating stormwater best practices in park and facility design. »Use sustainable building practices when developing, expanding or renovating facilities. »Improve energy efficiency when renovating or constructing new facilities. »Use native trees/shrubs planted in appropriate locations to conserve energy. »Raise public awareness of the importance of sustainability and the city’s efforts through social media, interpretation and educational programming. Goal 5 Proactively plan for a high quality, efficient parks and recreation system that meets community needs. Policies »Encourage parks to be defining features of neighborhoods through the placement of parks in a visible location and the establishment of connecting trails and sidewalks. »Encourage participation by neighborhoods, community groups and local artists in the planning for and development of park and recreation facilities. Identify locations for unique features or improvements to avoid a system of “cookie cutter” parks. »Enhance users’ experiences through well-designed exterior environments/places that give consideration to how all members of the public can engage in these spaces in different ways (educational, cultural, performance, artistic, etc.), how places can be interconnected throughout the community and how lighting contributes to inviting spaces. As part of the design process, seek opportunities to use artist-created park features rather than standard catalog pieces. »Encourage the use of the park system for performance art, temporary art installations and public art. »Explore opportunities to reconfigure or improve efficiencies within existing parks to serve identified community needs. »Maintain and routinely review field management plan to ensure high-quality fields through rotational resting of fields based on a schedule/level of use and postponement of use during and after significant rain events. »Continue strong partnership and communication with local associations, clubs and other organizations to ensure facilities are meeting their needs. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan13 Integrate trails into the planning and design process for public improvements and land development. Design parks and facilities to address active and passive needs while giving consideration to the environmental context, surrounding land uses and future maintenance and operational needs. Establish and routinely update sustainable operations, maintenance and replacement schedule for all parks and facilities with particular attention on playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, Pickleball courts, shelters, etc. Collaborate with the Engineering Department on trail pavement management program. Explore partnership opportunities for capital improvement costs and life-cycle system costs. Continue to support the stated goal of parks in Chanhassen to reasonably meet city needs and promote a sense of community. Expand the capacity of the athletic facilities through improvements and efficiencies within existing community parks.

Policies General »Thoroughfares and major routes should be planned so as to reduce conflicts between external traffic and local traffic while facilitating development in the community. »Through the development review process, the City will strive to discourage development from occurring within the designated road way corridors as well as limiting access to collector streets, minor arterials, intermediate arterials and principal arterials. Access points to the regional roadway system should be adequately controlled in terms of driveway openings and side street intersections. »Promote safe and convenient access connections between the highway system and major commercial areas, industrial uses and residential neighborhoods. Roadways »Encourage multiple uses of right-of-way areas accommodating various modes of transportation. »New roadway facilities should be constructed in conjunction with new developments and designed according to the intended function. They should be planned and designed to be compatible with the surrounding environment. »Existing roadways should be upgraded when warranted by demonstrated volume, safety or functional needs. Roadways shall also be maintained and repaired to ensure the greatest possible useful life. »Residential street systems should be designed to discourage through traffic and to be compatible with other transportation modes including transit, bicycle and walking. »The city will implement roadway design standards and inspection practices which ensure proper construction. »Streets shall be designed and operated to enable safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan14 Transit »The city encourages all forms of ridesharing in order to reduce vehicle miles of travel, reduce petroleum consumption and improve air quality. »The city will review all major new developments in light of the potential for ridesharing including bus accessibility, preferential parking for carpools/vanpools and mixed-use development. »The city will support Federal, State, Metropolitan and local efforts directed toward the economic and effective provision of rail transit for the community, the region and the state. »The city encourages cooperation with the Metropolitan Council and Southwest Transit Commission in order to provide future transit service to and within the community. The city will support the development of a park and ride facilities that encourage transit use. Parking »The city will continue to review new developments for adequacy of parking based upon need and the potential for joint use of parking facilities. »Sufficient parking, transfer and bus stop facilities should be provided to meet the needs of mass transit in major employment and commercial areas and in higher density residential and mixed-use areas. Pedestrian/Bicycle »Major activity centers should provide accessibility to pedestrians and bicycles including necessary bicycle parking facilities. »The city will promote increased development of bikeways and trail facilities in order to conserve energy resources, enhance recreational opportunities, improve health and assist in the abatement of pollution and congestion. »Pedestrian and bicycle trails should be interconnected with major generators and have continuity across major roadways and other barriers. »Sidewalks and/or trails should be required in commercial, industrial and residential areas; adjacent to schools and other public buildings and along at least one side of collectors and other high volume roads. Other Mapped Road System The city will utilize the land use plan and transportation plan maps to illustrate planned road alignments and to facilitate their acquisition and construction as new developments are proposed. The plan maps will illustrate all collector and arterial street alignments. They will also be revised from time to time by the city during the subdivision review process. Subdivisions As a part of platting, each development should provide dedication and improvement of public streets consistent with the standards found in city ordinances. The city will promote the provision of street and pedestrian connections to maximize safety and ease of access. Buffer Sufficient setbacks and/or berming should be designed into all development projects adjacent to major public roadways. Capacity Coordinate existing and planned transportation facilities and their capacities with land use types and densities with particular emphasis on land development in the vicinity of interchanges and intersections. Maintenance The city will continue an ongoing maintenance program in order to maximize the community’s investment in transportation facilities. Circulation For proposed developments, the city will require detailed circulation and access plans which depict the impact of the proposed develop- ment on both the existing and future transportation systems. Arterial Deficiencies The city will support Federal, State, Metropolitan and local efforts directed toward the timely construction of a new Minnesota River cross- ing connecting Trunk Highways 169 and 212, upgrading of TH 5 west of TH 41, realignment and construction of TH 101 south of Pioneer Trail, upgrading of TH 101 north of TH 5, TH 41 and other facilities serving the area. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan15 Chanhassen will coordinate efforts with Eden Prairie, Victoria, and other appropriate jurisdictions to ensure that TH 5 and 101 continue to function effectively. Construction and Maintenance Chanhassen will coordinate the construction and maintenance of hard surfaced local streets, collectors and arterials. Interconnect Neighborhoods It is the city’s policy to require interconnections between neighborhoods through the construction of local streets to foster a sense of community, to improve safety, encourage health and to provide a convenient access for residents. 1.7.6 | Sewer Goals and Policies The timing of future trunk sanitary sewer improvements will be influenced by several parameters including development pressures in specific areas, failing on-site septic systems, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, etc. As a result, it is difficult to accurately pre- dict the time of future improvements especially those which may occur far into the future. Therefore, the Capital Improvement Program is intended to serve as a guide only for future fiscal planning and should be reviewed on a regular basis as more current planning and cost data becomes available. The city shall: 1.Adopt the Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan for the City of Chanhassen. 2.Review and update the CIP annually for trunk sanitary sewer facilities to reflect sewer improvement projects necessary for the next five-year period. 3.Proceed with future sanitary sewer improvements in accordance with the initial 5- year capital improvement program. 4.Continue to reduce I/I to the existing collection system and maintain provisions for preventing I/I from entering the sanitary sewer system with new construction. The following items are general policy guidelines to be considered when reviewing and/or revising the city’s fee structure: 1. System Expansion (Orderly Development) Development shall occur in an orderly fashion. Properties that abut parcels served by municipal utilities will be considered as the next feasible property for development. The city may limit development activities to selected areas. Petitions to expand in areas not already under development will be considered. Factors that will be considered include, but are not limited to: capacity in the MCES interceptor, capacity in the city’s collection system, economic factors including costs, number of developments under construction and the staff resources available to review the requested development. 2.Leapfrogging Leapfrogging refers to the circumstance where certain parties want to develop an area not currently adjacent to the limits of the City of Chanhassen’s existing sewer system. The applicant wants to “leapfrog” over areas located adjacent to the city’s existing services that would be the next logical area to be developed. In this circumstance, the City of Chanhassen could decide whether or not to approve such development. If approved, it is recommended that the interested property owner pays for the entire cost of installing services to their property and resulting system up- grades. The developer shall be offered no credit or reimbursement for these costs. If the development of the property that was “leapfrogged” is later initiated, payment of all trunk charges for the property will still be required regardless of the fact that the facilities were already installed before development occurred. 3. Overdepth and Oversizing The costs of additional depth shall be defined by differences in cost for the depth required by the development and the depth required for trunk facilities. Trunk oversizing as defined by the city and installed by the developer will be credited using the differential of pipe costs between the larger and the minimum pipe size required for the develop- ment. Bid pricing shall not be the sole determinate in defining a developer credit. The city shall determine if a credit will be given for a project. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan16 4. Lift Stations Trunk lift stations should be defined as those servicing more than one single development project. The trunk fees will pay for 100 percent of the cost of trunk lift stations. Lift stations that do not fit the definition for a trunk lift station are to be paid for by the developer. All lift stations shall be designed and constructed in accordance with city standards. The city will consider cost sharing for other lift stations if it is found that a particular lift station may be able to serve a greater area than the single development. The cost-sharing shall include the oversizing or over depth required to serve additional area and associated SCADA system costs to establish the lift station on the city’s SCAD A system. 5. Existing Developed Unserviced Properties There are a number of existing developed areas that do not receive sewer and water service within the city limits. The trunk system has been designed to handle all existing developed unserviced properties within the city, but it is not the policy of the city to initiate a sewer extension project. If an individual property owner or group of neighbor- ing property owners would like city sanitary sewer services where it is not yet available, the city will review whether or not it is economically viable. Existing developed, unserviced residential properties will be assessed or required to pay connection fees as required by the City Code. 6. Existing Non-Residential Unserviced Properties Existing unserviced commercial/industrial or other non-residential properties wishing to expand or hookup to mu- nicipal utilities shall be treated the same as new development and will be assessed or required to pay connection fees as required by the city. 1.7.7 | Water Goals and Policies The city shall provide potable water in an efficient and effective manner. 1. Supply Improvements Firm supply capacity (the supply capacity with the largest pump out of service) should be greater than maximum day demands. The city recently constructed the west water treatment plant, which is estimated to have a capacity equal to the existing east water treatment plant (6,000 gpm). In order to fully utilize these two plants, it is estimated that four new wells will be necessary during the life of this plan to meet projected water demands based on projected development in the city. 2. Distribution System Improvements Trunk main looping should be a priority in the expansion of the service area and in water main replacement projects. The proposed layout of trunk water mains in this report would provide water supply and fire protection capabilities to existing and projected service areas. In addition, recommended trunk mains will connect water supply and storage facilities with points of use on the system. The city can also work towards the eventual combination of the Lake Riley and Interbluff pressure zones, which may be the most ideal location for a new elevated storage tank. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan17 3. Storage Improvements The volume of water storage needed in Chanhassen is dictated by daily demands as well as fire protection. Currently, storage capacity is meeting system needs. Projected demands will create a need for one additional 1.0 MG elevated water storage tank over the life of this plan. A new concept, which places a new tank in the combined Lake Riley/Interbluff lower pressure zone which will help supply these pressure zones with water as well as stabilize system pressures. 4. Report and Model Update This report should be reviewed on an annual basis. Changes in development type or densities can have significant impacts on a water system’s performance, especially during drought conditions or emergencies such as fires. A re- port update should be planned for approximately 5 to 10 years dependent on development pressure. The water system model produced as part of this project is a valuable tool in assisting with the design and construc- tion of Chanhassen water system components. It can be easily updated on an annual basis and used to evaluate the impacts of proposed developments or project phasing. A copy of the computer model will be provided to the city. 1.7.8 | Surface Water The Local Water Management Plan (LWMP) was prepared in conformance with the Minnesota Statutes 103B.235 and Minnesota Rules 8410. This plan is intended to provide the City of Chanhassen with information and direction in the administration and implementation of water resource management activities within the city during the period 2018-2027. It serves as a guide to projects, provides for the effective allocation of resources and sets forth a funding plan for projects and programs over the next 5 to 10 years. The city will adopt by reference the local 2018 - 2027 surface water management plan (LWMP) and will incorporate the six water resource goals as specified in the LWMP. Goal 1 Promote abstraction through infiltration, reuse and other methods where practicable to do so to provide flood protection, groundwater recharge and improved water quality. Goal 2 Achieve water quality standards in lakes, streams and wetlands consistent with their designated uses and established classifications. Goal 3 Protect and rehabilitate wetlands to maintain or improve their function and value. Goal 4 Prevent contamination of the aquifers and promote groundwater recharge to maintain base flows in streams and wetlands. Goal 5 Maintain primary responsibility for managing water resources at the local level and continue coordination and cooperation with other agencies and organizations. Goal 6 Provide information and educational resources to improve knowledge and promote an active public role in the management of water resources. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan18 City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan19 Chapter 2LandUse City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan20 2 | Land Use 2.1 | Introduction The purpose of the land use plan is to ensure the community’s quality of life by identifying appropriate locations for all types of uses and provide for the orderly expansion of municipal services through the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) phasing plan. The land use plan creates the framework that guides zoning and subsequent land use decisions. This plan establishes the guidelines that the City Council, Planning Commission, and Parks and Recreation Commission use to make decisions on individual development requests, especially those that involve zoning and land use amendments. 2.2 | Development Influences Lakes, wetlands, and woods define Chanhassen. Natural resources such as the sensitive water resources contained within Assumption Creek, Seminary Fen, and the wetlands associated with the Minnesota River are especially im- portant. The city’s 350 wetlands occupy over 2,370 acres, nearly 15% of the city’s total area. Additionally, the city has 12 mapped lakes covering 1,526 acres, and storm water ponds account for another 78 acres of aquatic habitat. The city is also home to the headwaters several major streams including Bluff Creek, Riley Creek, and Purgatory Creek. Cumulatively, surface water features account for 4,269 acres of the city’s surface area. Many of the city’s parcels either take advantage of or are impacted by these water resources. The city is bordered by the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum to the west and the Minnesota River to the south. The community’s northern boundary is predominately low-density residential housing. Surrounding Chanhassen are the communities of Shorewood, Minnetonka, Victoria, Shakopee, Chaska, and Eden Prairie. To the east, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, and Shorewood are almost entirely developed, and Chanhassen expects to see continued growth in all land use sectors. One of the biggest factors influencing growth in the southern section of the city is the anticipated upgrades and re- alignment of Highways 101/61. In 2014, the City of Chanhassen commissioned a study to investigate the feasibility of extending city utilities to the County Road 61 corridor. This area encompasses 1,430 acres and includes numerous pro- tected areas including the Bluff Creek Primary Zone, the Seminary Fen Scientific and Natural Area, and the MN Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Once these areas are removed from consideration only 12% of this region is developable. Despite these constraints, the study determined that ex- tending utilities to the area was feasible, and the city has guided these properties for the uses and densities neces- sary to ensure that they achieve the highest and best use possible while being responsive to the area’s unique natu- ral setting. The city’s goal is to create an attractive south- ern gateway to the city along this corridor. Development within this area will be contingent upon the extension of city services into this area, which is itself contingent upon the realignment of Highway 101. Upon completion of the study the land use amendments were approved by the Metropolitan Council in February of 2015. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan21 FIGURE 2 - 1.

B | Highway 61 Corridor Revised Land Use Guiding City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan22 2.3 | Growth Forecast The purpose of the land use plan is to ensure the community’s quality of life by identifying appropriate locations for all types of uses and provide for the orderly expansion of municipal services through the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) phasing plan. The land use plan creates the framework that guides zoning and subsequent land use decisions. The Metropolitan Council forecasts that the city will add 4,000 households and 2,800 jobs between 2020 and 2040. The Metropolitan Council has designated the city as an Emerging Suburban Edge. The density requirements for this designation are overall average net densities of at least 3-5 dwelling units per acre in forecasted growth through 2040.

The minimum density for each land use category has been used to estimate the expected density for future developments. Using these numbers, staff believes that land guided for residential development will provide approximately 3,700 housing units with an average density of 3.05 units per acre. Some additional housing units will likely be created through infill and redevelopment within existing residential developments; however, the vast majority of new housing units between 2020 and 2040 are expected to be provided through new developments. It is expected that the areas to the west of Lakes Lucy and Ann will develop between 2020 and 2030, as will the areas with easy access to Highway 212. Development of the southern portion of the city, especially those along the CSAH 61 corridor and abutting the section of Highway 101 south of CSAH 14 is not expected to occur until after roadway improvements are complete and the extension of municipal services become feasible. The recently approved Avienda lifestyle center will facilitate a significant percentage of the projected job growth as its commercial and office subsectors build out between 2020 and 2030. The remainder of the land guided for commercial, office, or industrial uses will develop as market conditions allow, with areas readily serviced by existing municipal infrastructure expected to develop before those in the southern portion of the city.

Of this area, approximately 30 percent will incorporate a residential component. Between 2015 and 2020, four acres redeveloped with 134 dwelling units and 19,000 square feet of retail space. Between 2021 and 2030, approximately six acres will redevelop including housing. From 2031 to 2040, an additional six acres may redevelop including housing.

The previous numbers were carried forward from the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. 2.5 | Residential Land Uses Within the current MUSA, density ranges are those specified for the land use. Outside of the MUSA, the overall density limit is one unit per 10 acres. It is the city’s policy not to create additional lots that do not have access to municipal services. 2.5.1 | Residential – Large Lot Properties in this district are predominately large-lot estates or, more rarely, agriculturally oriented dwellings. These large-lot residential areas are generally clustered south of Pioneer Trail; however, other concentrations exist north of Trunk Highway 5, east of Galpin Boulevard along Lake Lucy Road, and south of Trunk Highway 5, east of Galpin Boulevard along Timberwood Drive. Large-lot residential developments are intended to have a rural character and are subject to 2.5-acre minimum lot size. The city saw a proliferation of large-lot residential subdivisions in 1987 as developers rushed to subdivide before the current one unit per ten-acre density limit went into effect. Given the one unit per-ten acre density limit, there are very few properties that could subdivide to create new large lot residential properties. It is unlikely that there will be a significant expansion of this land use category. For projecting land demand, an average of 0.4 net units per acre was used. The city anticipates that 0 acres of new development will occur at this density between 2021 and 2040. Large-lot residential is zoned as either A-2 (Agricultural Estate District) or RR (Rural Residential District). 2.5.2 | Residential – Low Density Most residential districts are comprised of low-density, single-family detached housing. Within this category, net densities range from 1.2 to 4 units per acres. For projecting land demand, an average density of two dwelling units per acre was used. The city anticipates that 817 acres of new development will occur at this density between 2021 and 2040. Low-density residential areas can be either zoned RSF (Residential Single Family), R-4 (Mixed Low Density), RLM (Residential Low and Medium Density), or PUD-R (Planned Unit Development Residential).

These developments can include duplexes, townhouses, and lower density apartments or condominiums. This category allows for a net density of 4 to 8 units per acre. For projecting land demand, an average density of six units per acre was used. The city anticipates that 186 acres of new development will occur at this density between 2021 and 2040. The following zoning districts can fall within the medium-density residential area: R-4 (Mixed Low Density), RLM (Residential Low and Medium Density), R-8 (Mixed Medium Density), or PUD-R (Planned Unit Development Residential). Medium density areas are used to create transitional zones between low-density residential and commercial, office, or high-density residential areas. 2.5.4 | Residential – High Density This category provides for developments with a net density range of 8 to 16 units per acre, and it is typically used for apartments and condominiums. For projecting land demand, an average density of 10 units per acre was used. The city anticipates that 151 acres of new development will occur at this density between 2021 and 2040. Areas guided high density residential can be zoned R-8 (Mixed Medium Density), R-12 and R-16 (High Density Residential), and PUD-R (Planned Unit Development-Residential). High-density residential areas are located on major transportation corridors, typically near transit, commercial centers, and employment centers. 2.6 | Office Industrial Land Use Most of the city’s existing office/industrial parks are fully built out. The city has guided areas near the intersection of Arboretum Boulevard and Audubon Road, the intersection of Galpin Boulevard and Lyman Boulevard and the inter- section of Audubon Road and Lyman Boulevard for future development as office/industrial parks in order to meet anticipated demand. The city also uses PUD zoning to create dedicated industrial parks. Since 2008, the city has added over 400,000 square feet of industrial uses. Industrial uses are facilitated by the IOP (Industrial Office Park) and PUD (Planned Unit Development-Office/Industrial) zoning districts. 2.7 | Commercial Land Use Traditionally, the city has focused on directing commercial development into the Central Business District. This poli- cy has helped Chanhassen create and maintain a strong business community. However, between the city’s growth and the realignment of Highway 212, the city has determined that there is a potential for significant commercial develop- ment outside of the downtown core. In order to take advantage of this opportunity, the city guided land for Regional Commercial use and is in the process of moving the Avienda regional lifestyle and mixed-use center through the approval process. This development will significantly increase the amount of commercial real estate in the city, and will create a second, complementary hub of commercial activity. Since 2008, the city has added over 300,000 square feet of commercial uses. Within the area guided for Commercial Land Use there a several distinct subcategories shown in Figure 2-11. The intent, characteristics, and potential zoning of these subcategories are described in Sections 2.7.1 to 2.7.4. 2.7.1 | Central Business District Definition/Vision: The Central Business District subcategory is a compact walkable area featuring a wide variety of business, commercial, office, and residential uses providing a comprehensive range of services at higher development densities than are present elsewhere in the city. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan33 The Central Business District is a dense concentration of jobs, services, housing, and civic uses. The city’s highest density developments are located in the Central Business District. The scale of these developments is supported by infrastructure such as the Chanhassen Transit Station. The proximity of numerous commercial and civic uses accessible by attractive walking paths draws shoppers, visi- tors, and residents to the area and promotes multiple trips between destinations. New developments in this area are encouraged to complement the existing mix of uses and to contribute to maintaining a vibrant and active district over the course of an extended day. Attention is also given to creating attractive and comfortable pedestrian links between varied uses within the area as well as promoting a sense of place. Goods and Services Examples: » Residential (High Density) » Office » Entertainment (Restaurants, Theaters, Music Venues) » Retail, Grocery, Household Goods and Services » Fitness Activities » Hotels » Health Services (Clinics) Land within City’s Central Business District subcategory is fully developed; however, as buildings approach the end of their design life, opportunities for redevelopment will emerge. Staff expects that 40 acres within this area will redevelop between 2021 and 2040, with 30 percent, 12 acres, of that redevelopment taking the form of residential uses. Residential uses within this area will develop with a minimum density of 16 units an acre. Maximum density is limited by performance standards; and, historically, residential uses within the Central Business District have developed with densities between 23 and 33 units an acre. For projecting land demand, an average density of 24 units an acre was used. Zoning districts within this land use are CBD (Central Business District), BH (Business Highway), or PUD (Planned Unit Development). Previously, the BG (General Business District) zoning district was used within the area; however, these areas were rezoned as CBD. The BG zoning classification is still the underlying zoning district for several PUDs within the Central Business District. 2.7.2 | Neighborhood/Convenience Commercial Definition/Vision: The Neighborhood/Convenience commercial subcategory is intended to host businesses that provide the daily goods and services needed by residents or nearby employees. These areas are oriented towards smaller sites with direct access to collector streets and are preferably located close to intersections of collector or arterial roads. These land uses are scaled to be compatible with surrounding land uses, which are typically residential. Neighborhood/conve- nience commercial uses should have a minimal impact on surrounding properties, as measured in terms of hours of operation, signage, and the noise, light, and odors generated. No single use in this district should exceed 10,000 square feet in gross built area. Goods and Services Examples: » Small to medium sized restaurants (no drive through windows) » Dry Cleaning » Neighborhood Scale Health/Fitness Services » Office » Day Care » Neighborhood Scale Convenience Store » Gas Stations » Personal Services The zoning application for this land use is BN (Neighborhood Business District) or PUD (Planned Unit Development). 2.7.3 | Community and General Commercial Definition/Vision: City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan34 The Community and General Commercial subcategory facilitates large-scale commercial and office developments requiring high visibility along arterial roads. This type of development has the capacity to generate enough light, noise, and traffic to have a moderate impact on the surrounding areas. These developments are located in areas with access to arterial streets, preferably at intersections with collector and arterial streets, have moderate to large-sized sites, are within the MUSA, and have environmental features, such as soils and topography, suitable for compact development. These projects must have adequate buffering by physical features or adjacent compatible uses to protect nearby residential developments. Goods and Services Examples: »Furniture and Home Furnishings »Electronic and Appliance Stores »Building Material and Garden Supplies »Auto Parts and Accessories »Sporting Goods Suitable areas will be zoned CC (Community Commercial) or PUD (Planned Unit Development) to facilitate this land use. 2.7.4 | Regional/Lifestyle Center Commercial Definition/Vision: The Regional/Lifestyle Center Commercial subcategory facilitates the creation of a regional destination featuring a highly walkable commercial core complemented by residential and office uses. A region center is a mixed commercial development with retail and entertainment uses of an appropriate scale to serve a regional market. The development should be designed to serve pedestrian and mass transit users along with automobile users. Its design should create an attractive and comfortable walking experience for visitors and residents establishing a sense of place or destination. The center’s retail component should be integrated with its office and residential components with mindful transitions between land uses. Goods and Services Examples: »Entertainment »Department Store »Comparison Shopping »Specialty Retail/Boutique »Restaurants »Hotels »Residential The city has dual guided 160 acres at the southwest corner of Powers and Lyman Boulevards as commercial and office to allow for a potential regional/lifestyle center. The city projects that 30 percent, 48 acres, of land developed within the Regional/Lifestyle Center Commercial subcategory will develop for residential uses with net densities between 10 and 16 units. For projecting land demand, an average density of 10 units per acre was used. The City of Chanhassen anticipates that 48 acres of new residential development within the Regional/Lifestyle Center Commerical subcategory will occur between 2021 and 2040. The zoning for this type of development is PUD-Regional Commercial. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan35 2.8 | Public Semi-Public Land Use These areas are intended to serve a communal or public purpose. Uses with this designation include the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Campfire Girls (Camp Tanadoona), public school buildings including Districts 112 and 276, city owned property, and the Eckankar campus. Zoning is either OI (Office and Institutional District, A-2 (Agricul- tural District), RR (Rural Residential District) or PUD (Planned Unit Development). 2.9 | Agricultural Land Use Consistent with the Thrive MSP 2040 regional development framework, no zoning district provides for purely agricultural land use. Some of the city’s larger properties are used for crop production, but as the city continues to urbanize these types of uses will become increasingly atypical. The city has reduced the development pressures on agricultural land though it’s MUSA phasing plan. It is the city’s policy to protect its rural regions from development until municipal services are available and requested. Some areas in the city are guided agricultural, but they are unlikely to be developed due to being located within flood plains or having extensive wetlands. 2.10 | Office Land Use The city is experiencing increased interest in office uses, and projects that over 150 acres of land will be developed for office use by 2040. In order to accommodate this demand, the area near the intersection of Highway 212 and Pioneer Trail is guided for office use. Additionally, the recently approved Avienda lifestyle center is expected to include 150,000 square feet of office space. Land intended for office use is zoned OI (Office Institutional District) or PUD (Planned Unit Development-Office/Institutional) zoning districts. 2.11 | Mixed Use Land Use The mixed-use land use allows for the blending of commercial and high-density residential developments. The city projects that 28 percent of vacant land guided for mixed-use will be developed as high density residential with den- sities between 8 and 20 units an acre. For projecting land demand, an average density of 14 units per acre was used. The City anticipates that 19 acres of new residential development within the mixed use category will occur at this density between 2021 and 2040.Village on the Ponds, located south of TH 5 and east of TH 101, and the Southwest Villages, located at the intersection of Lyman Boulevard and TH 101, are examples of more urban feeling mixed- use developments. Additional land near the intersection of TH 101 and Flying Cloud Drive is guided for mixed-use. These types of developments are facilitated by PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning. 2.12 | Parks and Open Space Land Use The amount of land guided for Parks and Open Spaces includes almost 140 acres of potential new park and open space. The Bluff Creek Overlay District is an important mechanism for preserving open space, and the city contin- ues to use the district to encourage the use of density transfers to preserve woodlands and bluffs adjacent to these areas. City parks and the Lake Minnewashta Regional Park fall into this land use designation. All zoning districts permit the creation of parks. 2.13 | Policy Issues 2.13.1 | Buffer Yard Concept City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan36 To the greatest extent possible, natural features should be used to create buffers between residential and non-residential uses. When these features are not present, the City Code requires the creation of additional setback or other forms of buffering, including landscaping. 2.13.2 | MUSA Impact on Existing Lots The city still has homes serviced by on-site sewage disposal systems. While these systems are an environmentally acceptable method of dealing with waste generated by large-lot subdivisions, they become more problematic when utilized to service smaller parcels. For this reasons, it is the city’s policy that these subdivisions remain large lot with a minimum lot size of 2 ½ acres. Requests for changes may be made incrementally (on a case-by-case basis), but it is city policy to review land use and zoning changes on an area wide basis. 2.13.3 | Comprehensive Plan Zoning Map Inconsistency Properties not served by urban services shall not be rezoned to a category consistent with their land use designation until urban services are available. Current zoning of a parcel at a less-intensive land use designation may remain until that time. Land use may only be intensified once the property has access to urban services. 2.13.4 | Maximum Use of Allowable Density Due to the city’s housing goals and participation in the Livable Communities Act, the city has the right to deny any project that does not meet the minimum density required by its land use designation. Valid reasons for denial include deviation from city requirements or offsetting the goals of the city. The city may provide developments with a density bonus to facilitate the provision of affordable housing. 2.13.5 | MUSA Staging The Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA) is defined as areas within the city that may be served with centralized infrastructure service and which may therefore develop at urban densities and intensities. The purpose of this boundary is to define the areas within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area that are eligible for “urban services”, specifically sewers, municipal water systems and particular types of transportation systems. The Metropolitan Council identifies the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) in partnership with communities in the region as urban services are needed and as part of the comprehensive planning process to assist in the orderly development of the metropolitan area. Assuming that current development patterns continue, the majority of the city will be developed by 2040. The pace of expansion of the MUSA will depend on availability of sufficient developable land to support the required infrastructure. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan37 FIGURE 2 - 12 | MUSA 2020 City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan38 2.14 | Historic Preservation 2.14.1 | Introduction The city introduced a historic preservation section in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. With the rural portion of the city ripe for development and the desire to preserve the city’s history, it is the appropriate time to formalize the city’s goals for historic preservation. 2.14.2 | Background “The history of Chanhassen begins in many places. It begins in Germany where social unrest moved some to travel across an ocean to find a new home. It begins in western Massachusetts in small towns in the Connecticut River Valley. It begins in the halls of Congress as the United States government decided how to distribute land. The area that we know as Chanhassen had its own history as well. Native American populations lived there for thousands of years. Research projects show evidence of habitation around Lake Susan, Minnewashta, and Lotus Lake as early as 6000 BC. For one hundred years, the Dakota were the primary native group, moving into the land and displacing the Iowa people sometime in the 1750’s. They had no major villages in Carver County. In 1851 the treaties of Transvers de Sioux and Mendota provided a cash payment to Native Americans in return for the land. Within weeks, settlers began staking claims.” Source: Chanhassen: A Centennial History. The Preemption Act of 1841, a statute passed by the U.S. Congress, permitted settlers to stake a claim of 160 acres and, after about 14 months of residency, to purchase it from the government for as little as $1.25 an acre before it was offered for public sale. Congress repealed the Preemption Act in 1891. The first wave of German immigration to America came when Minnesota lands opened for sale. A German colony gathered around a lake. Since all the families came from Bavaria, many began to refer to the lake by that name. The Northampton Colony migrated from several towns in the Connecticut River Valley and settled around Lake Minnewashta. In 1887, the Franciscan Brothers relinquished title to the property around St Hubert’s Church and the town of Saint Hubertus was platted. When the Village of Chanhassen was organized in 1896, St.Hubertus opted for the traditional name of Chanhassen. On April 21, 1896, Chanhassen was incorporated as a village government. “When the population of a township exceeds 2,000, the Minnesota Municipal Commission (MMC) is required to hold a hearing to determine its legal future. Chanhassen Township was the largest piece of unincorporated land in Carver County and became a target for the competing interests of local governments. Chaska made the first move, petitioning to annex 3800 acres of Chanhassen Township, including the new Hazeltine Golf Course and the proposed “New Town of Jonathan” annexation. In one legal maneuver, Chanhassen lost its southwest corner. The township board was outraged and fought the ruling all the way to the Minnesota Supreme Court where they lost. Victoria began consideration to annex the northwest corner. The township permanently lost sections to Chaska and Victoria. The MMC issued an order in December 1966 that the township and village would merge if there were no objections within the community.” On May 2, 1967, the merger was approved by a vote of two to one. Chanhassen Township was dissolved.” Source: Chanhassen: A Centennial History. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan39 City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan40 2.14.3 | Historic Preservation Historic Preservation is the act of maintaining and repairing existing historic materials and the retention of a prop- erty’s form as it has evolved over time. When considering the United States Department of Interior’s interpretation, “Preservation calls for the existing form, materials, features, and detailing of a property to be retained and preserved. This may include preliminary measures to protect and stabilize it prior to undertaking other work – or protection and stabilization may be an end in itself, for example, in an archaeological project.” Historic Preservation is a vital tool in the effort to save historic buildings and locales. It helps maintain a community’s historical roots and provides various educational opportunities. In the City of Chanhassen, the focus will be on buildings and places that are unique, time sensitive, culturally or socially important, or architecturally significant. Between December 3, 1997 and April 27, 1998, the city undertook a study of “Old Town” and attempted to create a historic overlay district. Property owners opposed restrictions on their properties that would impose limitations on exterior improvements and remodeling. They welcomed guidelines but not ordinances. The state and county play a role in historic preservation. The state is in charge of making recommendations of properties that are worthy of nominations as historic properties or sites. The recommendation is forwarded to the Keeper of the National Registrar of Historical Places. The Carver County Historical Society’s role and mission is to collect and preserve artifacts and objects. Carver County was awarded a grant and hired The 106 Group, Ltd. to identify historically significant sites. This process included sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places, sites eligible for National Register of Historic Places, and a photo of the property. The 106 Group, Ltd. phased their study into stages: Stage 1: Baseline Data Obtain data on the known historic, archaeological and cultural resources Stage 2: Develop Priorities Delve further into the identification of additional, previously unidentified historic resources Stage 3: Survey and Policy Development Identify and evaluate historic resources that are significant to the heritage and formulate policies with regard to the protection and preservation of those resources. Based on the available information, the city will establish a Recognition Program of historic properties and buildings, with owner’s consent, designed to encourage private property owners to use, maintain, and protect their historic properties. The City of Chanhassen will rely on Carver County to be the Historic Preservation Organization. Properties requesting a historic designation or funding will be directed to Carver County Historic Society. 2.14.4 | Historic Buildings and Structures The city contains a number of structures that embody its architectural and cultural heritage. The city will continue to encourage the preservation, interpretation and active reuse of privately-owned historic buildings and structures, and will work to protect such buildings and structures to the extent feasible during the development process. The city will also continue to preserve and restore the historic structures it owns. The city will not actively pursue the acquisition of historic sites or structures. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan41 2.14.5 | Land Whenever possible, landmarks should be preserved on the site where they are located. Failing that, they may be moved, if feasible. A demolished landmark may be commemorated in one or more of the following ways: 1.Naming the new structure in honor of the old. 2.Inclusion of some architectural features of the original structure in the new structure. 3.A display area in the new structure which may include photographs or other memorabilia of the old structure or site. 4.A plaque or marker of appropriate size describing the original structure and its significance.

Since Chanhassen became a city in 1967, the number of housing options has become more diverse. Housing choices have expanded from single-family detached homes to include apartments, condominiums, attached-single family, senior living facilities, and group homes. “Chanhassen is a Community for Life” and thus has provided land use and zoning supporting a variety of housing options for residents in all stages of life. The housing plan will examine existing conditions and provide an analysis of housing needs. The data comes from the June 2014 Maxfield Research Inc. “Comprehensive Needs Assessment for Carver County”, the US Census, the Metropolitan Council, the May 2017 Community Partners Research, Inc. “Carver County Affordable Housing Update”, the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors, and the City of Chanhassen. Whenever possible the city has attempted to use the most recent information available; however, some older sources, particularly the 2014 Maxfield study, provide unique data not found elsewhere. 3.0 | Overview of Existing Housing Since 2000 the city has grown from a Census estimated 6,299 owner occupied homes and 719 rental units to an estimated 7,497 owner occupied homes and 1,207 rental units in 2015.

Attached homes are different from apartment buildings in that they usually have fewer dwelling units, typically two to six, and are more likely to be owner occupied than rented. Examples include duplexes, townhomes, and row houses.

During 2003, the city issued 396 permits, compared to 66 permits in 2008. The extreme variation during this period is the result of it spanning both the height of the real estate boom and the subsequent economic recession. The five-year average of 125 permits a year represents typical post-recession permit volume for the city. As of 2018, projections for the city’s growth between 2017 and 2021 range from a low of 165 units a year to a high of 200 units a year. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan46 3.1.1 | Occupied Housing Units by Type and Tenure Approximately 83% of the city’s housing was owner occupied in 2015, down from 88% in 2000. Detached single-family housing continues to be the mainstay of the city’s housing stock; however, the city has added 1,026 attached single-family units since 2000. Many of these units are owner occupied townhomes, although some of these dwellings are being rented. The city has also approved projects featuring multifamily dwellings during this period. Multifamily dwellings are defined as buildings with more than five units. These units include larger townhouses, condominiums, and apartments. Multifamily developments are generally rental properties; however, townhouses and condominiums can be either owner or renter occupied. Since the year 2000, the city has added 647 apartment units.

While Chanhassen’s ratio of owner occupied housing built before and after 1990 is similar to Carver County as a whole, a significant portion of its housing stock is older than that of the other rapidly growing cities in the county. For example, 44% of Chanhassen’s ownership housing was built before 1990, compared to 25% in Victoria and 29% in Waconia. The above table lists the median sale price for all residential homes, including detached single-family, attached single-family, and condominium style homes. In 2017, Chanhassen’s median home sale price of $346,950 was the second highest in Carver County, $34,700 over the county’s median sales price. Only Victoria’s median home sale price of $439,900 was higher.

A 2014 survey of active subdivisions found that Chanhassen’s new single-family housing was typically priced between $325,000 and $525,000. The Maxfield study showed that Chanhassen and Victoria had the highest average “active” price of approximately $385,000. There were no active single-family developments under $325,000. *Good sales are fair, open market transactions. Once the data for detached homes, attached homes/townhomes, and condominiums is separated out, it is clear that the price of Chanhassen’s detached single-family housing stock is increasing significantly faster than the price for attached homes/townhomes or condominiums. This discrepancy may be due to the fact that only 24 new attached-single family units and no new condominiums were constructed in 2015 and 2016, meaning that most of these sales involved the resale of older units.

This discrepancy in rent rates is likely due to the fact that Chanhassen’s rental stock has a significantly higher percentage of newer units than other communities in Carver County. Community Partners Research, Inc. found that with an estimated 1,270 rental units Chanhassen has nearly 19% of Carver County’s rental stock. Only Chaska has a larger share of the County’s rental properties. A phone survey conducted by Community Partners Research reported a 1% or less vacancy rate in Chanhassen’s rental properties. Pervious work by Maxfield Research, Inc. in 2014 reported Chanhassen’s vacancy rate as 2.90%; however, they found that the city’s affordable housing had a vacancy rate of 0%. Vacancy rates below 5% are generally considered to indicate unmet need for rental housing. 3.1.4 | Housing Condition Seventy-five percent of the Chanhassen’s housing stock was constructed before 2000, and nearly two-thirds of the city’s housing was built between 1980 and 1999. Using the city’s property maintenance code, the city works with homeowners and property managers to ensure that this aging housing stock is safe and maintains its value. The property maintenance code establishes minimum requirements and standards for premises, structures, equip- ment, and facilities for light, ventilation, space, heating, sanitation, protection from the elements, life safety, safe- ty from fire and other hazards, and safe and sanitary conditions. The ordinance also provides for administration, enforcement, and, when necessary, penalties for non-compliance. Maintaining existing housing helps to provide residents with an increased diversity of housing options. 3.1.5 | Analysis of Existing Housing Needs The City of Chanhassen began as a farming and then a bedroom community and has continued to evolve over the last 30 years. While the largest land use is low density residential the city has become a full service community. As the population ages and the industrial and commercial uses attract younger people, the demand for a wide variety of housing has emerged. The city has identified preserving naturally-occurring affordable ownership and rental housing, ownership housing for seniors looking to downsize, ownership housing for first-time homebuyers, and rental housing for individual of all income levels as the highest priority existing housing needs. Preserving and expanding these five categories of housing is a vital component of ensuring that Chanhassen is a community where individuals in all stages of life can find safe and desirable housing.

Maintenance Requirements Staff will con�nue to enforce the city's maintenance ordinance to preserve the quality and value of exis�ng rental stock. Rental Licensing Program The city maintained a rental licensing program from 2002 to 2011. It was discon�nued because few viola�ons were uncovered and all of those were addressed by other sec�ons of the Code. It is unlikely the city will reinstate a rental licensing program.MN Housing Reduced Property Taxes The city would consider working with interested proper�es to apply for reduced property taxes as provided for in Minnesota Statute 273.128. Housing Bonds The city would not support the issuance of housing bonds; however, it will refer interested par�es to the Carver County CDA. Preserve exis�ng low- income housing tax credit proper�es The city will explore possibil�es for preserving exisitng low-income housing tax credit proper�es with MN Housing and Carver County CDA. Ownership housing for seniors looking to downsize PUDs The city will support the crea�on of small lot villas/condos/townhouse PUDs in appropriately zoned areas. Accessory Dwelling Units The city code allows for variances to accommodate ageing parents living in a separate dwelling unit within an exis�ng house. Staff will encourage residents to pursue this op�on where appropriate. Ownership housing for first �me homebuyers Code Op�miza�on The city will con�nue to evaluate development ordinance and its impact on development costs, especially the PUD ordinance and lot size/setback and design standards. PUDs The city will support the use of PUDs to create a variety of owner occupied housing types (ver�cal/horizontal townhouses, condominiums, detached villas/co�age style homes, etc.) Referrals The city will ensure staff is familiar with resources provided by the Carver County CDA and Minnesota Housing Finance Agency which can assist first �me homebuyers. Rental housing for individual's of all income levels.Referrals The city will ensure staff is familiar with resources provided by the Carver County CDA and Minnesota Housing Finance Agency which can assist perspec�ve renters in finding and affording housing. Accessory Dwelling Units The city would not support the use of accessory dwelling units to provide addi�onal rental housing. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan52 The Metropolitan Council has designated Chanhassen as an Emerging Suburban Edge. The density requirements for this designation are overall average net densities of at least 3-5 dwelling units per acre in forecasted growth through 2040. The city has also provided sufficient high-density land use to potentially meet the goal of accommodating 806 affordable housing units. 3.2 | Population and Income Over the last decade, the city of Chanhassen’s population increased just over 20 percent. The median age of the city increased 3.7 years and the household size has decreased by nearly 5 percent. 3.2.1 | Demographic Changes FIGURE 3 - 14 | Chanhassen Population by Age Chanhassen Population by Age 2000 2015 Change Number % of Total Number % of Total Number % ChangeAge Under 5 years 2,020 9.9%1,515 6.2%-505 -25.0% 5 to 9 years 2,227 11.0%1,931 7.9%-296 -13.3% 10 to 14 years 1,889 9.3%2,126 8.7%237 12.5% 15 to 19 years 1,197 5.9%2,102 8.6%905 75.6% 20 to 24 years 590 2.9%1,026 4.2%436 74.0% 25 to 34 years 2,608 12.8%2,370 9.7%-238 -9.1% 35 to 44 years 4,903 24.1%3,348 13.7%-1,555 -31.7% 45 to 54 years 2,816 13.9%4,839 19.8%2,023 71.8% 55 to 59 years 732 3.6%1,808 7.4%1,076 147.0% 60 to 64 years 419 2.1%1,173 4.8%754 179.9% 65 to 74 years 591 2.9%1,393 5.7%802 135.7% 75 to 84 years 270 1.3%464 1.9%194 72.0% 85 years and over 59 0.3%342 1.4%283 479.9% Total Population 20,321 100.0%24,437 100.0%4,116 20.3% Source: US Census In 2015 the largest segment of the population (19.8%) was 45 to 54 years old. The median age of the city’s residents was 39.2 years old, an increase of 3.7 years from the 2000 cen- sus’s average age of 35.5. The average age in the metropolitan statistical area was 36.6 years, roughly unchanged from its 2000 av- erage of 36.1 years. During this same period, the average age in Minnesota increased from 35.4 to 37.7 years, an increase of 2.3 years. These different rates of increase are likely the result of millennials’ preference for more urban environment, and Chanhassen’s hous- ing market being skewed towards executive/ move up housing rather than starter homes affordable to younger couples and families.

Many of these couples desire traditional detached single-family housing, and this demand has largely driven Chanhassen’s housing market. The city’s location in eastern Carver County and proximity to employment centers means that there will continue to be strong demand for single-family housing. Between 2000 and 2015 the US Census shows that the average persons per household in Chanhassen has dropped from 2.94 to 2.8, a decrease of 4.76%. This decrease is partially explained by young couples choosing to have fewer children, average family size decreased by 3% over this period, and millennials choosing to delay starting families until later in life. Another contributing factor is the increasing number of empty nesters and widows/ widowers. This trend of smaller households and families is expected to continue as the population ages; however, Chanhassen’s 2015 average household size of 2.8 is significantly higher than the metropolitan statistical area’s av- erage household size of 2.54. Due to Chanhassen’s location in Eastern Carver County and its amenities, it is likely that the city will continue to attract a disproportionately large share of the region’s young families with children.

The Metropolitan Council estimates that Chanhassen’s 2016 population was 25,448 people in 9,267 households, which works out to an average of 2.74 people per household.* City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan54 *The difference between these estimates and the numbers reported by the US Census is likely the result of the fact that the most recent census data available comes from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey 5-year estimates. This means that since data from 2011 to 2015 is averaged out to reduce the margin of error the census estimates likely underestimate the population and number of households actually present. The 2015 5-year estimates were used for the proceeding discussion because they provide more detailed data on age and household composition and allow for direct comparison with previous years’ census data. The U.S. Census estimates that Chanhassen’s 2015 median household income was $110,569. Caver County’s 2015 median household income is reported as $86,323, and the metropolitan statistical area is listed as $68,778. Chanhassen’s amenities, location, and housing stock is expected to continue to attract house- holds with median incomes above the regional average The Maxfield study examined the population’s demographic trends and believes that following will be true in Carver County: »Households will increase faster than population as the overall population ages, couples will have fewer children, and single-person households will become more common. By 2040, they predict an average household size of 2.39 people. Caver County’s household size decrease will likely be at a slower pace than other areas of the metropolitan statistical area. »Strong growth is expected across all age groups for the next 20 years with growth in the number of 25 to 39 year olds fueling demand for single-family housing, town homes, and rental options. After 2030, the older adult population, 55+, is expected to increase rapidly, prompting an increased need for senior oriented housing. »People between ages 55 and 74 will experience the most rapid growth rates this next decade. The younger portion of this group is still looking for move-up housing and are willing to consider alternatives to traditional single-family homes. »Western Carver County will likely have higher percentage of young families seeking affordable housing; where as, communities in eastern Carver County will likely see a mix of senior, young adults and older adults. These increases will be due to the aging of the existing population, young adults looking for rental housing near employment hubs, and older adults with greater means purchasing housing that is more expensive. »Post 2030, adults ages 60 to 79 are expected to become the second largest age cohort after adults 40 to 59 3.2.2 | Income FIGURE 3 - 18 | Chanhassen’s Median Household Income by Age 2015 Median Household Income By Age Under 25 $53,472 25 to 44 $119,778 45 to 64 $127,852 65 and over $43,894 All Households $110,569 Source: American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates 3.3 | Future Housing Demand FIGURE 3 - 19 | 2040 Regional Development Forecast Chanhassen Regional Development Forecast Category Census Revised Forecast 2010 2020 2030 2040 Population 22,952 26,700 31,700 37,100 Metro Sewered 20,576 25,660 30,660 36,060 Households 8,352 10,000 11,900 14,000 Metro Sewered 7,519 9,620 11,520 13,620 Employment 10,905 15,600 17,000 18,400 Metro Sewered 10,662 15,400 16,800 18,200 Source: Metropolitan Council The Metropolitan Council believes that Chanhassen’s population will grow by over 11,500 between 2017 and 2040. This population in- crease will take the form of over 4,700 new households. The size and composition of these new households will determine the composition of Chanhassen’s housing market. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan55 3.3.1 | Residential Lands The city has approximately 1,200 acres of land guided for residential uses. The city projects that the majority of this land will be developed by 2030. It anticipates that land guided for single-family homes will initially be the preferred dwelling type with an increasing share of multifamily housing developed as the city transitions from building out to in-fill/redevelopment. Most of the housing is expected to be market rate, though there is a strong demand for low- and moder- ate-income housing as well as senior oriented housing products. The Maxfield study had projected that the city would add 6,560 units of housing between 2014 and 2040. Since the study was commis- sioned, new information has caused the Metropolitan Council to re- vise its projections for the city’s growth to down to 4,733 households.

The city anticipates a high demand for rental housing based on the community’s proximity to Carver County’s job hubs, and the desire to locate housing in conjunction with transit or commercial centers. The Maxfield models shows between 2014 and 2030 the greatest demand for rental housing will be for general occupancy rather than senior oriented developments. Throughout the period be- tween 2014 and 2040, they indicate that while the majority of demand for rental housing will be for market rate units; there is also a need for afford- able general occupancy and senior oriented units.

As land available for constructing new detached single-family homes becomes scarcer, they expect the cost of these types of houses to increase. Their model shows that most of the demand for entry-level ownership housing will be met by multi-family developments, i.e. apartment condominiums and town houses.

This need is further broken up by income category with specific targets for level of need. The City of Chanhassen is committed to meeting all federal and state fair housing standards, and to protecting its residents from all forms of housing discrimination. Additionally, the Metropolitan Council plans to require participants in its Livable Community’s Act to adopt local fair housing policies. The City of Chanhassen, a current participant in the Liable Community’s Act, will investigate adopting a local fair housing policy to comply with these new requirements and maintain its eligibility in the program. The Metropolitan Council acknowledges that market conditions and development forces may mean that these units are not constructed; however, they require that cities demonstrate that they have sufficient land guided at high enough densities in order to accommodate these developments should the opportunity emerge. The Metropolitan Council states that communities can meet this requirement by having a sufficient amount of land guided at a minimum density of 8 units/acre to meet its affordable housing need allocation.

28 | 2015 Housing Cost Burdened Households Source: Department of Housing and Urban Development, Metropolitan Council The Metropolitan Council has found that in 2016 Chanhassen had 1,603 household who were cost burdened. Another important term to understand when discussing affordable housing is “cost burdened”. Federal guidelines state that a household spending more than 30% of its income on housing, including utilities, is cost burdened. Households spending more than 35% of their income on housing are considered severely cost burdened and may have trouble affording other essential goods like food and clothing due to the high proportion of their income going towards housing. Many subsidized housing projects either cap rents at rates that will not represent a cost burden to individuals making 80% AMI or limit the maximum rent tenants pay to 30% of their monthly income. Source: Department of Housing and Urban Development 3.4.2 | Affordable Housing Overview The actual income thresholds that determine if households are classified as extremely low income, very low income, or low income depend on both the household’s location and its size. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development establishes guidelines that determine if families qualify for subsidized affordable housing. FIGURE 3 - 27 | Department of Housing and Urban Development Income Thresholds 2017 HUD Twin Ci�es Affordability Levels Household Size Extremely Low Income (30% of AMI) Very Low Income (50% of AMI) Low Income (80% of AMI) One-person $19,000 $31,650 $47,600 Two-person $21,700 $36,200 $54,400 Three-person $24,400 $40,700 $61,200 Four-person $27,100 $45,200 $68,000 Five-person $29,300 $48,850 $73,450 Six-person $32,960 $52,450 $78,900 Seven-person $37,140 $56,050 $84,350 Eight-person $41,320 $59,700 $89,800 2016 Housing Cost Burdened Households 30% or less AMI 31% to 50% AMI 51% to 80% AMI 522 363 718 City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan60 FIGURE 3 - 29 | 2016 Affordability of Existing Housing FIGURE 3 - 30 2015 Affordable Ownership Housing Source: Metropolitan Council The Metropolitan Council equates this to a house priced at $243,500. Affordable ownership housing is defined as housing that is affordable to buyers earning 80% of the area median in- come. The Metropolitan Council equates this to a house priced at $243,500. The Community Partners Research, Inc. study looked at all Chanhassen home sales, new and resale, and found that the 2016 median sale price for detached single-family homes was $420,000. They found that the median price for townhomes was $228,250, and that con- dominiums had a median price of $166,500. The city’s inventory of condominiums, attached single-family homes, and older detached single-family homes means that there are opportunities for affordable homeownership; however, those opportunities become scarcer for individuals earning less than 50% of the medium income. The majority of the city’s existing affordable housing takes the form of ownership units. The map below shows the distribution of the city’s ownership housing. Affordable ownership units tend to be found in the city’s older subdivi- sions and attached housing developments. Source: Metropolitan Council The Metropolitan Council estimates that Chanhassen has 3,014 dwelling units which are affordable to families making less than 80% of the area’s median income. The Metropolitan Council evaluates cities based on the amount of affordable housing they create and preserve. Chanhassen has a housing performance score of 39 out of 100 (down from 45). This number is used to help prioritize the allocation of funding in the Livable Communities Demonstration Account and Tax Base Revitalization Account. The city’s score has gone down due to the fact that no new affordable units have been constructed in the last decade. A lower score hurts the city’s chance of being award- ed money from these accounts and also impacts the city’s score on requests for transportation funding. Low scores also give the city preference for the Housing Incentives Account, an account which helps cities create affordable housing projects. While the city has created a small lot residential zoning district and uses Planned Unit Developments to encourage the con- struction multifamily housing, the high cost of land and rising construction costs mean that the city cannot provide the amount of assistance required to build new affordable housing. 3.4.3 | Affordable Ownership Housing 2016 Exis�ng Housing Assessment Affordable Level Units % of Units 30% or less AMI 71 0.74% 31% to 50% of AMI 931 9.73% 51% to 80% of AMI 2,012 21.04% Above 80% AMI 6,551 68.49% Total 9,565 100.00% 2016 Affordable Ownership Housing 30% AMI 50% of AMI 80% of AMI $85,500 $153,500 $243,500 City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan61 FIGURE 3 - 31 | Owner-Occupied Housing by Estimated Market Value Source: Metropolitan Council Access to ownership housing is supported by Carver County CDA’s homebuyer and foreclosure prevention counselors which assisted 369 residents in purchasing or keeping their home between 2008 and 2016.

Community Partners Research, Inc. estimated the city’s 2017 median rents for one and two-bedroom units to be $1,387 and $1,516, respectively; however, a significant portion of Chanhassen’s older rent- al stock is priced at or below the Metro Housing and Redevelopment Authority’s guidelines. Despite the existence of lower cost rental units, Community Partners Research, Inc. estimates that approximately 59% of Chanhassen’s renters pay 30% or more of their income in rent with the figure increasing to 92% for senior households. When all renter households were examined, they discovered that median percentage of monthly house- hold income that went towards rent was 33%. By comparison, the county wide median was 27.8%. The city has one publicly subsidized housing development, the Gateway Place, a 46-unit development which was funded by housing tax credits. Gateway Place’s compliance period will end in 2021 and, unless relief is sought, its extended use period will last until 2036. The city’s other subsidized housing development, Heritage Park, transi- tioned to market rate housing in 2004 when its housing tax credits’ compliance period expired. The Centennial Hill development provides 65 units of affordable senior housing. These units are priced below market rate, and are subject to income limits of 100% of area median income. Community Partners Research, Inc. reported rental rates ranging from $798 to $919 for one-bedroom units and $1,878 for two-bedroom units. Additionally, while the Summerwood project primarily provides market rate senior housing, the city created a TIF housing district to provide 32 affordable senior housing units. Affordable rental housing is also supported by the Carver County CDA. They provide Chanhassen residents with 47 Metro HRA Housing Choice Vouchers, 65 CDA affordable rental units, 13 CDA subsidized rental units, and 3 project based voucher units. 2017 Affordable Apartment Rents Number of Bedrooms Affordable rent at 30% AMI Affordable rent at 50% AMI Affordable rent at 80% AMI Studio $474 $791 $1,265 1-BR $508 $848 $1,356 2-BR $610 $1,017 $1,627 3-BR $705 $1,175 $1,880 4-BR $786 $1,311 $2,097 2016 Publically Subsidized Units All publicly subsidized units Publicly subsidized senior units Publically subsidized units for people with disabili�es Publically subsidized units: All others 179 0 0 179 HOUSING | Oak Ponds City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan63 FIGURE 3 - 34 | Chanhassen Multifamily Rental Housing Inventory Source: Community Partners Research, Inc., Maxfield Research Inc.

City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan64 3.4.5 | Upcoming Projects Creating Lifecycle Housing Several projects which will further increase the diversity of Chanhassen’s housing stock have recently been approved, and others are working their way through the city’s approval process. While none of these projects includes publicly subsidized affordable housing, they will all provide alternatives to traditional single-family detached housing. Arbor Glen A 18 unit detached single-family development. The homes will be handicap adaptable, and the HOA will be respon- sible for all exterior maintenance. While not age restricted, this development is designed to provide housing options for older individuals looking to downsize and age in place. Mission Hill A senior oriented planned unit development with 8 independent living twin homes, 16 units, and a 136-assisted living unit senior housing apartment build- ing. A daycare has also been incorporated into this building. The City Council approved this development on May 8, 2017. Avienda A regional commercial/lifestyle center. This development will include up to 600 units of housing. The exact mix and number of housing units will be determined by the market; however, medium density single-family ownership housing and senior apartments with some level of service are the envisioned uses. This develop- ment was approved by the City Council on July 10, 2017. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan65 Venue A 134-unit market rate apartment in the heart of Chanhassen’s downtown. These units will provide a walkable downtown rental option. This development also includes a 19,000 square foot retail space which will be occupied by Aldi. This development was approved by the City Council on July 10, 2017. West Park A 82-unit townhouse development featuring a mix of four-, five-, and six-plexs. These units are expected to be priced between $300,000 and $400,000. Units on the lowest end of the price range will provide entry-level housing. This development was approved by the City Council on July 10, 2017. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan66 3.5 | Action Plan The city will continue to uphold the housing goals and policies of the comprehensive plan. FIGURE 3 - 36 | Affordable Housing Needs Action Plan Iden�fied Need Available Tools Circumstances and Sequence of Use Alloca�on of Affordable Housing Need at or below 30% AMI: 464 Units TIF The City would consider using TIF to support proposals for this type of housing in areas guided for high density residen�al use. Tax Abatement The City would be unlikely to use tax abatement to support new construc�on.

City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan67 City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan68 Chapter 4NaturalResources City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan69 4 | Natural Resources At a Glance »140 acres are currently managed for invasive species such as buckthorn, wild parsnip, garlic mustard and black locust. »The Chanhassen tree inventory has compiled over 6,000 open grown, individual trees on public property. »A single mature tree can retain as much as the first two to four inches of rainfall. »Home values can increase by as much as 12 percent if there are mature, healthy trees on the property. »There are 504 public trees along West 78th Street from downtown to west of Hwy 41. »Chanhassen has 50 different species of trees planted along its streets and in its parks. »Much of the soil within Chanhassen are loams and clay loams which have high water-holding capacity. »The emerald ash borer threatens 25 percent of the city’s public trees. Natural resources in the City of Chanhassen serve many purposes. They offer recreation on lakes, trails and parks, respite from busy lives, and remediation of development consequences. Collectively, the woods, wetlands, streams, rivers and prairies contribute to a high quality of life for Chanhassen residents and visitors. The City of Chanhassen recognizes this important value and works to protect and enhance these natural features for the benefit of all. This chapter of the Comprehensive Plan outlines accomplishments, challenges and future goals for the city’s natural resources. In conjunction with ongoing development, the city has continued to make preservation of natural resources a priority. While directly improving the quality of life for Chanhassen residents, the city’s natural resources also indirectly enhance this community by offering environmental benefits. Collectively, ‘green infrastructure’ such as trees, wetlands and open space provides significant economic value by offering stormwater management, heat island reduction, erosion control, carbon sequestration, energy savings and increased property values. Protecting and enhancing the city’s green infrastructure is an investment in the community’s well-being as well as its future sustainability. 4.1 | Introduction As time goes on and communities grow and change, so too do their goals and challenges. For natural resources in Chanhassen, the emphasis has shifted to resiliency and sustainability from acquisition and documentation. While there are still open spaces that could become public amenities, management of the existing public lands has taken center stage and requires not only current responses but also long term planning. As the few remaining large piec- es of private property are developed, the tapestry and function of the city’s natural resources becomes solidified. Management and protection strategies are being revised to reflect the need for high-functioning natural resources that not only provide aesthetics and recreation, but also stormwater management, energy conservation and diversi- ty. Valuable natural resources must also be functioning resources. Green infrastructure is now a necessary part of a well-managed community that brings tangible and intangible benefits to every facet of the community. The natural resources challenges over the next decade encompass a broad spectrum from localized invasive species control to regional stormwater management. It will take vision and commitment to protect and enhance the natural resources in Chanhassen. The city’s land use policies should recognize that natural areas and open space are long term uses in our community. The city’s ordinances should reflect best management practices for trees, water and soil. The city’s goals and policies should serve to protect and enhance our natural resources. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan70 4.2 | Urban Forests and Forestlands Chanhassen: meaning ‘tree of sweet sap’ in the Dakota language. The Minnesota Land Survey of 1830 document- ed that Chanhassen was located in the Big Woods, one of three major ecosystems in the state. The Big Woods was a massive area of forests dominated by sugar maple and basswood trees that stretched from the Minnesota River northwest to the Red River Valley. The trees were punctuated by wooded wetlands and open marshes around the many lakes. In time, the rich soil and plentiful timber gave rise to agriculture and development in the area. Much of Chanhassen, perhaps nearly all, was cleared of forests to create agricultural fields and homesteads. Along bluffs and in scattered remnants, the remains of the Big Woods existed. Today, pockets of mature woods with sugar maple and basswood trees allow visitors to envision the historical Big Woods. Ownership of these remnant woods today is a mix of private and public. Camp Tanadoona and private property to the west of Lake Ann comprise the ownership of large tracts of high quality woods. Park land belonging to the City of Chanhassen and Carver County encompass numerous acres of Big Woods and allow community members to be immersed in a wooded environment. 4.2.1 | Chanhassen’s Urban Forest While no one would consider Chanhassen to be ‘urban’, it does contain an ‘urban forest’ – the many trees that line our city streets, shade our playgrounds and parks and dot the yards of every neighborhood. These trees make up a significant portion of the overall tree cover in the city. They provide multiple and important benefits to the health and economic viability of Chanhassen. Trees increase home values, decrease energy costs, reduce stormwater runoff, provide clean air, sequester carbon, keep people healthy, provide wildlife habitat and enhance community aesthetics. These benefits rise along with the percentage of canopy cover in a community. Currently, the city averag- es about 30 percent tree cover. Optimal tree cover depends on the intersecting aspects of costs, community desires and services provided by trees. Chanhassen has many opportunities to increase canopy cover throughout the city. At a minimum, the city should maintain the overall 30 percent cover and strive to increase it in specific areas that fall short. The city benefits from city ordinances that require tree planting in new developments to assist in replacing lost canopy. Depending on the type of proposed development, tree preservation or replacement plantings in new con- struction must meet an overall canopy goal for the site. The percentages of cover range from 28 percent to 68 per- cent based on the existing conditions of the site and the Comprehensive Plan designation for the site. This ordinance is intended to maintain a minimum canopy coverage for the community. Other programs by which the city adds new trees to the community includes the annual tree planting program for Arbor Day and tree coupons given to residents. Programs such as these work to maintain tree cover, but more can be done. 4.2.2 | Diversity is Key Planting trees to increase canopy cover must be a well-intentioned and well thought-out process. “The right tree in the right place” is not only a catchy phrase, but advice that provides a long term return on the investment. Plant- ing with the intention of seeing that trees grow to maturity and beyond is a cost-effective process that places trees suited to the specific environment in the right places. There are several considerations to make when selecting trees and creating planting plans. Along with selections for height and size, the type of tree is also important. Species diversity will be the key to a sustainable urban forest. At a minimum, the city follows the 30-20-10 rule. No more than 30 percent of trees from any one family, no more than 20 percent of tree from any one genus and no more than 10 percent from any one species. In other words, no more than 30 percent of trees from the Betulaceae, or birch, family; no more than 20 percent of trees from the birch genus, and no more than 10 percent of trees should be paper birch species. A more conservative approach would be to reduce the quantity totals to 20-10-5. A diverse urban for- est is more resilient to pests and diseases. An analysis of the current public tree inventory revealed that the city has overplanted ash and maples. Spruce trees are also too common. Future plantings do not include ash trees at all and have very limited additions of maple trees as well. With the mainstay tree species selection out of the running, new City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan71 choices need to be added. Climate change is promising to expand the palette of tree selections by opening up lists of trees previously not cold hardy in Minnesota. These new selections will be necessary to maintain diversity for our city forest. 4.2.3 | Specifications Additionally, planting specifications are important to the long term sustainability of the city’s urban forest. If the tree is planted improperly, then all the time, money and resources are wasted. Planting specifications that are up-to-date with current research and industry innovations need to be included in all public and private landscaping projects. Chanhassen’s clay soils are unforgiving when it comes to planting depth. Planted too deep, a tree will struggle to thrive. Soil compaction exacerbates the problem so in new developments it can often be challenging to maintain a healthy landscape. Planting specifications included on landscape plans for developments should include the best practices for planting techniques and soil requirements.

The entire watershed of Bluff Creek lies within city boundary lines and because of this, the city had the opportunity to shape the development and protection of the creek. The creation of a green way along the creek has presented opportunities for valuable development and recreational activities. Trail users benefit greatly from the connected web of corridors following Bluff Creek and its tributaries. There remain opportunities to connect areas in the water- shed. These preserved pieces vary in quality but not in value. The city should maintain these greenways and natural areas for native plant and animal habitats. The city should also set a goal to limit fragmentation of natural areas and maintain green corridors that connect open space.

And yet, soil is treated at times as an easy thing to manipulate, replace or remove. Construction activities that prepare soil for the addition of a road, house or other non-living, artificial surfaces do significant damage to this resource. Then sod and trees are placed into these sites and expected to perform as though the activities never happened. Rarely, does this work out well. Visit most new neighborhoods and you’ll find struggling young trees and over-watered turf. The city has recognized this negative result and now requires the replacement of six inches of topsoil on every lot in each new development. With this quality soil, water retention improves, roots grow better, runoff takes longer and money is saved through reduced water use and landscape replacement. To gain even better results, soil reconstruction should be done in areas of heavy compaction. Breaking up the soil and rebuilding it with compost and tree planting will provide optimal ben- efits to any site. The city should reassess what measures could be taken during development to protect soils from compaction in the first place and rebuilding it when the protection isn’t enough. 4.5 | Biological Diversity and Invasive Species The significance of conservation areas to plants and animals cannot be understated. It’s critical for people, too, offer- ing valuable recreational and quality of life assets. Ideally, the City of Chanhassen should conduct a natural resource inventory. Currently, the Minnesota County Biological Survey Inventory done in 2000 is the only resources avail- able to assist in documenting what environmental assets may be present. The city should commit to protecting and managing any rare species and unique habitats noted in the survey. A current map, produced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, of habitat areas of high potential for the rusty patched bumble bee includes Chanhassen. Not only is this an endangered species but also a pollinator, a group of insects that provide vital services to our landscapes and food production. Chanhassen has the opportunity to address and commit to pollinator friendly practices. Most neighboring communities have already adopted city policies that benefit pollinators while incurring no additional costs or labor for the community. Chanhassen can help make an impact on protecting this crucial group of insects. All of our natural resources are under threat from invasive species. Whether aquatic or terrestrial, these invaders wreak havoc on local natural areas and community budgets. The City of Chanhassen should continue to work to manage terrestrial and aquatic invasive species to the best of its ability. Protecting our natural resources from these threats may come at a cost but the benefit of healthy, sustainable natural areas translates into higher real estate val- ues, reduced long term costs, greater quality of life and more valuable natural assets.

To help facilitate this goal, the city’s 7-member Environmental Commission is charged by the city council to promote and educate Chanhassen residents on the importance of natural resources. This volunteer commission works each year to provide opportunities for Chanhassen residents to learn more about the environment and become involved in the stewardship of it. City staff also endeavors to provide current, factual natural resources-related information to the public, utilizing various means of communication such as the Chanhassen Connection quarterly city newsletter and the city’s website and public events. The City of Chanhassen plans to maintain its current educational activities, as well as continue to expand its natural resources education program into the future. Future public education programs may focus on invasive species, water conservation, tree cover and diversity and wildlife habitat. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan79 4.7 | Resiliency As our weather continues to change and intense patterns are experienced more and more, the city is challenged to respond to extreme weather events that threaten public infrastructure, water and energy supplies and public health and safety. Making a community more resilient to these threats is a process of adaptation and planning. Resiliency is an approach focusing on how well a community can respond to, and ultimately emerge from, climate change effects. One way for a community to increase its resiliency is by joining the GreenStep Cities program. Minnesota GreenStep Cities is “a voluntary challenge, assistance and recognition program to help cities achieve their sustain- ability and quality-of-life goals.” The requirements for becoming a recognized city vary according to the recognition level. To start, a city only has to pass a resolution committing to pursuing a Green Step City status. From there, cities complete a certain number of action items to progress to a Step 2 or 3. The city of Chanhassen endeavors to become a GreenStep City and adopt best management practices throughout the organization that strive to plan for mitigation of and adaptation to climate change impacts. 4.8 | Solar Energy In Chanhassen, certain areas have high potential as solar generation sites as shown in the figure below. Areas that have low potential have inadequate access to sunlight. Factors such as tree cover and slope direction play a signifi- cant role in the solar potential of a site. The city has prioritized tree planting before solar production, therefore, future public investments will be limited. The city has provisions in City Code that accommodate private pursuit of solar energy on businesses and residences. The city is currently participating in two community solar garden contracts. These agreements account for 50 percent of the eligible electrical load from Xcel Energy. If desired, the city could purchase up to 110 percent of its energy from Community Solar Gardens.

The city has historically and will continue to place a strong emphasis on parks and recreation. In the 2016 National Citizen Survey, resi- dents indicated that they highly value Recreation and Wellness op- portunities in Chanhassen and ranked the city’s health and wellness, recreational and fitness opportunities, and preventive health services to be higher than other communities across the country. The survey also indicated that 9 out of 10 residents frequently make use of the city’s wide array of recreational opportunities. The Park and Recreation section of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan provides an overview and analysis of the city’s existing system, iden- tifies goals and policies that will guide park and recreation decision making over the next 20 years, and establishes key initiatives that will complete and enhance the current system. Chanhassen’s Parks and Recreation System Plan is a separate document that provides a more detailed overview of where the city’s park system currently stands and how it will evolve into the future. The System Plan can be accessed from the city’s website. By the Numbers »12 community events »250 park programs offered »1,373 watercraft rentals »5,123 ice rink visitors »More than 7,900 senior center participants »15,000 group picnic participants »24,400 swimmers at Lake Ann 5.1 | System History Chanhassen’s parks and recreation system is the result of almost 50 years of planning and city and citizen commitment. In addition to adding parks and trails to the system in conjunction with development, the community has supported major park improvement initiatives throughout the years. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan84 Three major bond referendums over the system’s history have allowed for major parks and recreation improvements. The first bond referendum for parks was passed in 1969, resulting in the acquisition of Lake Ann Park, the beginning of the neighborhood park system; and the preservation of community character that is enjoyed by residents to this day. 1988 saw the second bond referendum, which funded phase two of Lake Ann Park as well as the purchase of park land in the southern half of the city. Another referendum was passed in 1996, resulting in improvements in 18 parks system-wide; the construction of Bandimere Park; the reconstruction of City Center Park; preservation of over 40 acres of open space; and 7 miles of new community trails. 5.2 | System Components Today, the city’s park and recreation needs are met by a combination of city parks; city trails and sidewalks; school district facilities; private facilities; recreation programs; as well as non-city amenities including regional parks and trails and facilities in surrounding communities. Park Classification Park classifications are used to ensure that a park and recreation system has sufficient diversity and geographic distribution to serve various neighborhood and community needs. Chanhassen’s 30 parks comprise 888 acres of city land, providing 36 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. These parks fall into four classifications: community parks, neighborhood parks, special use parks, and preserves. Community Parks Community Parks provide opportunities for city-wide recreation and typically serve a 1-2 mile area. They emphasize active recreation by providing amenities like ball fields and soccer/football fields. Chanhassen’s six community parks are distributed throughout the city and most residents live within an easy drive or bike-ride. There is an anticipated shortfall in community park land after the year 2020. Since most of the new residential growth is anticipated to occur in two areas; south of Lyman Boulevard and on the west side of Lake Ann, it makes sense to look for new communi-ty parks in these areas. Chanhassen currently has six Community Parks, including Bandimere Park, City Center Park, Lake Ann Park, Lake Susan Park, South Lotus Lake Park, and the Chanhassen Recreation Center. Neighborhood Parks The goal of neighborhood parks is to provide informal recreational opportunities close to where people live. Chanhassen operates under the standard that all residents should be within walking distance, or a half mile, of a neighborhood park. The walking distance must also be free of major barriers like major roads or water bodies to count as adequate. Because community parks often act as neighborhood parks for the people living in close proximity, a half mile radius is applied to both neighborhood and community parks to identify any gaps in service. There are 23 Neighborhood Parks distributed throughout Chanhassen, 22 of which are city owned and operated. Cathcart Park is located within Shorewood, but acts as a neighborhood park for residents north of Lake Minnewashta. Preserves Preserves function to protect the city’s high-quality natural space, and usually involve minimal low-impact development at most. The city currently owns almost 800 acres of open space protected throughout Chanhassen’s fourteen preserves. These acres encompass a large portion of the Bluff Creek Corridor, as well as other treasured wetland and woodland areas.

These currently include crafts, dance, and sports for preschool aged children; crafts, sports, self-defense, ski and snowboards, and dance programs for youth; programs serving individuals with developmental disabilities and their families; fitness and sports programs for adults; community-wide events that occur annually; and educational programs, swimming, clubs, field trips, meal and driving programs for seniors. According to the Chanhassen Community Questionnaire, community events are the most popular type of programming offered by the city. Annual events hosted by the city and supported by area businesses include February Festival, Easter Egg / Candy Hunt, Arbor Day Celebration, July 4th Celebration, Fire Department Open House, Halloween Party, and Tree Lighting Ceremony. While these events are well-attended, there continues to be an interest for additional events throughout the year. The city has good working relationships with recreation groups and associations, who do a good job of providing a variety of programs. The city provides introductory level athletic programming for very young children (under 6) and team, league athletics (softball) for adults. There is a desire from some residents that the young athletic programming be improved in terms of structure and coaching. Additionally, interest has been expressed for more, older youth and adult programming in arts, fitness, and outdoor education. There is also desire from many residents for the city to provide programming, such as aquatics, to meet the needs of those who can’t afford private facilities, such as Lifetime Fitness. 5.4 | Trails Chanhassen’s 76 miles of city trails have been identified as the most popular facility provided in the community. This city-wide system helps connect neighborhoods to parks, schools, commercial and civic destinations, and adjacent communities. The city is committed to providing pedestrians and cyclists with safe crossings of major roadways, and today there is a pedestrian bridge over Highway 5 as well as several underpasses city-wide. Natural surface trails are present in Fox Woods Preserve, and desire has been expressed to expand this network to create more low-impact connections between residents and natural areas. Several regional trails connect Chanhassen to surrounding communities and destinations, including the Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail to the north and the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail to the south which has a parking area and trail head area off of Bluff Creek Drive. Both of these trail corridors are owned by the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority (HCRRA). A cooperative agreement between HCRRA and Three Rivers Park District allows the corridors to be used for recreational purposes. Figure 5.2 displays the city’s existing system of trails and sidewalks. Additionally, the Metropolitan Council has shown regional trail search corridors along Highway 101, Highway 41, Highway 5, CSAH 61, and the Twin City and Western Rail Corridor. Regional Bicycle Transportation Network As bicycle trips often cross municipal boundaries, the Metropolitan Council established a network of regional bicycle facilities for transportation called the Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN). The goal of the RBTN is to create an integrated network of off-street bikeways and off-road trails that effectively and efficiently improve conditions for bicycle transportation across the region. It is important to recognize that the RBTN is different than the regional trail system, which is composed of existing and planned regional trails and trail search corridors. The RBTN’s primary function is for transportation rather than the recreational and scenic values provided by the regional trail system. However, both networks may overlap in locations and can serve both purposes. The network is divided into two types with two tiers for regional planning and investment prioritization. They are described below and shown on Figure 5-3: City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan87 Pleasant View Preserve Chanhassen Nature Preserve Rice Marsh Lake Preserve Bluff Creek Preserve Fox Woods Preserve Hesse Farm Park Preserve Lake Susan Preserve Pine Hurst Preserve Bluff Creek Preserve North Lake Riley Preserve MN River Bluffs Preserve Hidden Creek Meadows Preserve Lake Susan Preserve North Pine Hurst at Lake Harrison Preserve Bluff Creek Headwaters Preserve CenturyBoulevardHazeltineBoulevardBluffCreek Drive West 78th S t reet Lyman Bou levard ChanhassenRoadCross t own B oulevard Pleas ant Vi e wRoad GreatPlai n s Boulev a r dBa varia R o a dSmithtownRoad P i o n e erT railW estL o n g a c resDriv eVictoriaDrive Arboretu m B o uleva r d Powe r sBoul evardKerberBoulevardLake Lucy Road MinnewashtaParkwayCounty Road 140 L ake DriveEast He ronDrive Engler Boulevard H un d ertm arkRoadEastGalpinBoulevardAudubonRoadPioneer Trail 82nd Street West F ly in g C l o u d D r iv e Chas k a B o u le v ardLakeDrive Pioneer Trail EastChestnutStreetNorthWest82ndStreet ")140 ")53 ¬«101 ¬«7 £¤212 ¬«5 ")61 ¬«101 ¬«101 L o t usL a k eL a k e S u s a n LakeRileyR iceL akeLakeMinnewashta LakeAn n L a keL ucyR i c e M a r shLake Eden Prairie Excelsior Greenwood MinnetonkaShorewood Tonka Bay Jackson Twp.

One of the Tier 1 Alignments is the existing MN River Bluffs Regional Trail. The other alignments, Highway 5 and Highway 101 south of the Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail, have portions of a trail in place but there are still gaps to address. Similarly, the Tier 2 Alignments on Hazeltine Boulevard and the rest of Highway 101 follow existing city trails, though there are still gaps to be addressed. Corridors – Tier 1 and Tier 2 corridors are intended to allow flexibility among local government agencies to tailor specific alignments for bikeway facilities through the local planning process. When specific alignments are desig- nated through the local planning process, the regional corridor will be replaced on the RBTN map with the preferred alignment. Chanhassen has no Tier 1 or Tier 2 corridors in the community. There is a Tier 2 corridor shown extend- ing across the City of Shorewood that connects to Hazeltine Boulevard. 5.5 | Notable Facilities RECREATION CENTER The Chanhassen Recreation Center provides the community with year-round indoor and outdoor recreational facil- ities. The Recreation Center is a focal point for many of the city’s community events and recreation activities and programs. The staff at the Recreation Center takes pride in providing a fun and friendly atmosphere for people of all ages at an affordable price. Facilities at the Recreation Center include a gymnasium, fitness room, aerobics/dance studios, five meeting rooms, and outdoor ball fields, tennis and pickleball courts, and hockey/inline skating rinks. Due to the popularity of the programs (especially dance) and the lack of meeting space throughout the community, the Recreation Center is often completely rented out. Senior Center Chanhassen’s Senior Center is a popular and highly utilized amenity for retirees, and is centrally located within the City Hall. The Senior Center provides senior programming including woodcarving, field trips, art and education classes, health and wellness programs, and card playing. Nutrition The CAP Agency Senior Nutrition Program provides nutrition options to Chanhassen seniors age 60+. Through congregate dining, seniors enjoy hot, nutritious meals Monday through Friday at 11:30 am at the Senior Center. Home delivery of meals is also provided. Friendly volunteers will deliver hot, nutritious meals right to resident’s door. This service is available Monday-Friday to seniors who are considered homebound, those recovering from surgery, or for long-term purposes. Menus include gluten-free, low-sodium, or reduced-calorie dessert options. Act on Alzheimer’s In 2015, Chanhassen began the initiative to become an ACT on Alzheimer’s community. There are more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease. These numbers are set to soar as the baby boomers continue to enter the age of greatest risk for Alzheimer’s disease. The projected growth of Alzheimer’s has created a public health crisis and Minnesota is taking action. In 2009, the Alzheimer’s Association and our advocates led legislation to create a State Government Alzheimer’s Disease Plan for Minnesota, which launched the formation of Act on Alzheimer’s. With over 60 nonprofit, governmental, and private sector organizations, Act on Alzheimer’s serves as a volunteer-driven, statewide collaboration who are preparing Minnesota for the impacts of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. We have come together – community members, health care providers, government officials, caregivers, people with Alzheimer’s, academics, and businesses – to better support individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and their families. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan89 NON-CITY FACILITIES There are several non-city recreation facilities located in Chanhassen. The locations of these facilities are highlighted in purple in Figure 5-1. Schools (ISD 276 & 112) The public schools in Chanhassen partner with the city to offer facilities for public use outside of school hours. The city has agreements for shared use at Chanhassen High School for school athletic fields. Bluff Creek Elementary School shares facilities with Chanhassen Recreation Center, while Chanhassen Elementary School shares facilities with City Center Park. While there is not a specific shared use agreement, Minnetonka Middle School West’s facilities assist in addressing needs for surrounding residential neighborhoods. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park This 340 acre Regional Park on the east side of Lake Minnewashta is owned and operated by Carver County with support from the Metropolitan Council. Facilities include lake access, a fishing pier, picnicking, sand volleyball, a swimming beach, and trails. A new off-leash dog area was established in partnership with Carver County, the City of Chanhassen, and the City of Shorewood Parks Foundation. A vehicle entry fee is required; however, the park is free for those who arrive on foot or by bike. Camp Tanadoona Camp Tanadoona was started by the Minneapolis Camp Fire Girls in 1924 and consists of 63 acres of land on Lake Minnewashta, south of Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. Today the camp serves both boys and girls and offers overnight and day camps. MN DNR Lands The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources protects several areas of land within Chanhassen. An eight acre parcel on the east side of Lotus Lake is preserved as open space. The DNR also owns 106 acres of the 600-acre Seminary Fen wetlands complex in southern Chanhassen, which contains a Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) that encompasses 73 acres and protects a rare calcareous fen and threatened plant species. The remaining 33 acres were allotted to the adjacent Raguet WMA. Finally, the DNR owns public land surrounding Lake St. Joe, which is just south of Roundhouse Park in northwest Chanhassen. Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge There are approximately 60 acres of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge within the city. The refuge was established in 1976 to provide habitat for migratory waterfowl, fish, and other wildlife species. Today the refuge is comprised of 14,000 acres stretching 45 miles from Fort Snelling State Park to Belle Plain, Minnesota. While some areas of the refuge have trails and interpretive signs, there are no public recreation facilities in Chanhassen. Raguet Wildlife Management Area (WMA) The Raguet Wildlife Management Area encompasses 270 acres, 190 of which are located in Chanhassen. The WMA is entirely within the floodplain of the Minnesota River. Natural communities include floodplain forest, wetland areas, and grassland. The management emphasis is maintaining and improving habitat for wetland species. The only public recreation access is for hunting. The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is a 1,000 acre facility, 675 acres of which are located in western Chanhassen. The Arboretum is a unit of the University of Minnesota and is a public botanical garden and an education and research institution.

By building flexibility into the city’s recreation and park facilities by considering the implications of trends, Chanhassen will be able to adapt quickly and efficiently in order to meet these new demands. The following trends are relevant to the future of Chanhassen’s parks and recreation: »Desire to create more memorable experiences » Increased importance of ‘place’ » Desire for conservation & natural connections »Demand for green alternatives »More transient »Pinched government budgets City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan92 »Increased interest in aging actively »Engaging new generations »Increased interest in weight loss & active living »Rise in informal adult recreation versus league participation »Popularity of new & nontraditional sports »Demand for group fitness events & races »Need for convenience »Increasingly anxious about safety 5.7 | Needs Assessment Key Findings To understand the state of Chanhassen’s Park and Recreation System, the system planning process involved con- ducting a critical evaluation of the city’s existing conditions, peer communities, national standards and trends, best practices, and community input. These analyses identified current and future needs and desires, which subsequently guided the development of guiding principles and goals, policies, and initiatives that work together to guide the future of the system. The evaluation process included: »Meetings with the City Staff, Advisory Committee, Park Board, and the City Council »Two phases of community input to gather feedback on existing conditions and future desires – Seven Community Pop-Up Events – Athletic Association Stakeholder Meeting – Senior Stakeholder Meeting – Three Online Community Questionnaires – Two Online Social PinPoint Maps – Community Open House »Evaluation of the entire system of parks, trails, natural resources, connectivity, programs, and facilities including an update of the Park System Inventory »Demographic analysis »Evaluation of current park classification system and standards »Evaluation of service areas, future growth, and development needs »Identification of issues and opportunities at a system-wide level »Comparison of existing supply, quality, and distribution of features and facilities to national standards and to peer communities »Evaluation of emerging trends influencing future needs of the system The following are key findings that summarize what was learned throughout the needs assessment process. Parks »Chanhassen’s 30 parks provide about 36 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents, which exceeds the national standards as well as that of surrounding communities. With the expected population growth of over 10,000 new residents in the next 10 to 20 years, the city should continue to look into expanding the number and distribution of parks as opportunities arise. Emphasis should be placed on currently underserved areas, as well as future areas anticipated to be developed with medium and high density housing. »Partnerships with school district have contributed positively to availability of facilities and efficiency of operations. »At existing parks, user amenities like lighting, benches, grills, wifi, and permanent restrooms were suggested as potential improvements Facilities »Chanhassen currently provides a diverse, well-distributed range of park and recreation facilities. »The amount of playgrounds in Chanhassen is consistent with that of surrounding communities, and is within an acceptable range for anticipated population growth. »A desire of the community identified in the engagement process was for the inclusion of natural playscapes, which are play areas either made with natural materials or made to look like nature. The incorporation of natural playscapes can be addressed through replacements, upgrades, and when new construction occurs. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan93 »The city has sufficient traditional athletic facilities, like diamond fields (baseball, softball) and rectangular fields (soccer, football, lacrosse), for both current and projected population figures. However, an analysis of field sizes finds that many of the existing diamond and rectangular fields are not large enough for adult games so ensuring a mix of field sizes is an important consideration moving forward. Future development should consider how to serve areas in the north, south, and west not otherwise served by non-city facilities. »During the community engagement process, residents expressed a desire for amenities that improve the quality of their playing and viewing experience. This includes lighting, permanent restrooms, and seating. »Informal sport facilities, like tennis, basketball, sand volleyball, pickleball, and open fields, are well-distributed throughout the community. »While the amount of aquatic facilities is on par with those of surrounding communities, all of the facilities are beaches. The community has expressed a strong desire for additional aquatic facilities like an outdoor pool, an indoor pool, and splash pads. »The Recreation Center and Senior Center provide year-round, indoor recreation opportunities. Community input has indicated that the current facilities are not sufficient. Residents desire a signature recreation facility that provides indoor facilities like a running/walking track, a larger fitness center, an indoor/outdoor pool, meeting spaces, family activities, and additional fitness classes. Additionally, interest was expressed in improving the Senior Center by expanding awareness and adding more active recreation offerings, fitness facilities and meeting spaces. »A key focus over the next 20 years should be the maintenance and replacement of aging facilities. Preserves and Open Space »Most residents are happy with the amount of perceived natural open space throughout the city and many would support additional preservation. »While the vistas created by open space are valued, desire was also expressed for increased access so users could better experience natural areas, particularly around Lake Ann and within the Bluff Creek Corridor. Trails »Chanhassen’s 76 miles of trails have been identified as the most popular facility provided in the community. »Safe crossings were a topic discussed throughout the system planning process. Currently the city has a pedestrian bridge over Highway 5 as well as more than ten underpasses city-wide. »In addition to safe crossings, trail users requested additional amenities to improve their trail riding experience. These requests include benches, wayfinding, and lighting to enhance safety and extend year-round use. »Currently there are natural surface trails in Fox Woods Preserve, Carver Beach Park, Lake Ann Park, Carver Pond Park, and Stone Creek Park. Community members expressed a desire for additional natural surface trails, particularly as a way to further explore natural areas, whether in preserves or parks. Programming »The City of Chanhassen offers a range of recreation and social programs for all ages. There is a desire from some residents that the young athletic programming be improved in terms of structure and coaching. Additionally, interest has been expressed for more older youth and adult programming in arts, fitness, and outdoor education. There is also desire from many residents for the city to provide more programming, such as aquatics, to meet the needs of those who prefer public recreation programs. »According to the online system-wide questionnaire performed in Fall of 2016, community events are the most popular type of programming offered by the city. While these events are well-attended, there continues to be an interest for additional events throughout the year. »The city has good working relationships with recreation groups and associations, who do a good job of providing a variety of programs City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan94 »Improved amenities that support events, like picnic shelters with amenities to support food preparation, would help encourage existing and future programming. Management and Operations »There are concerns about deferred maintenance issues, especially in small neighborhood parks (playgrounds, basketball courts, hockey rinks). »Concerns also existing surrounding the maintenance of natural resources and lake water quality. »Ongoing investments will be required to maintain the quality of the existing system into the future. 5.8 | System Plan The system plan recommendations were drafted based on the findings from the needs assessment, peer community and national standards analysis, community input, review of the previous Comprehensive Plan, Advisory Commit- tee discussions, and meetings with city staff. The recommendations are organized into goals, policies, and strategies. Goals are broad statements that describe the desired long-term outcomes needed for the system’s guiding principles to be achieved. The next level, policies, are statements that will guide city decision-making to achieve the goals. Policies are followed by initiatives, which describe the specific actions or steps that need to be taken. To support and further clarify the initiatives, maps have also been attached to illustrate recommendations relative to parks, facilities, preserves, and trails. A set of precedent imagery has also been prepared to help illustrate what some of the proposed new facilities may look like. Vision & Guiding Principles As the City of Chanhassen develops and changes over the course of the next 20 years, its Parks and Recreation System must likewise evolve. New opportunities will present themselves, as will new challenges. Sustaining a desirable park and recreation system through this evolution will require a set of guiding principles based on the community’s shared vision. These guiding principles provide an over-arching framework that informs the development of specific goals, policies, and initiatives. They are also a tool for future decision-making, serving as a yardstick to measure the results of this plan and the appropriateness of future initiatives. Stewardship Stewardship is one of the hallmarks of Chanhassen’s Parks and Recreation System. An extensive network of preserves gives residents the opportunity to explore and learn about Chanhassen’s rich web of natural resources. Greater awareness of Chanhassen’s prairies, wetlands, lakes, rivers, forests, and wildlife has led to a greater understanding of the role those resources play in making the community a great place. Chanhassen’s citizens have embraced their role as stewards of their city’s natural resources. They understand the need to conserve Chanhassen’s natural resources so they will continue to enrich future generations, and they advocate continuing to incorporate sustainability practices such as sustainable design, native plant diversity, and ecological maintenance into the system’s planning and daily operations. Connectivity Connectedness is at the heart of Chanhassen’s Parks and Recreation System. The system itself is connected; its parks, preserves, and trails knitted together to create a network of recreation and open spaces that reaches every corner of the community. This network connects residents, neighborhoods, and destinations to one another, strength- ening the community and enabling all to enjoy safe, easy, and convenient travel throughout the community and to neighboring cities. Likewise the system’s facilities and programs not only connect residents to one another, but they also connect residents to the outdoors and to Chanhassen’s wealth of natural resources. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan95 Engagement Chanhassen’s Parks and Recreation system welcomes residents of all ages and all abilities, enabling them to lead active, healthy lives in which they engage with the outdoors, with art and culture, and with one another. Partnerships with private entities, neighborhood and community organizations, athletic associations, user groups, businesses and schools have created a sense of shared ownership and pride across segments of the community, leading to active participation in system planning, operation, and maintenance. The system’s high quality facilities and programs are a source of community pride that inspire life-long discovery, learning and socializing. Adaptable As Chanhassen has evolved, becoming a larger, more economically and culturally diverse community, its Parks and Recreation System remains adaptable in the way it responds to new needs and challenges and dynamic in its ability to deliver high-quality programs, facilities and services. Increased partnerships with groups, organizations, and business- es representing all segments of the community have resulted in new and diverse sources of funding and an infusion of new ideas, energy and enthusiasm. These partnerships have increased the system’s versatility, enabling staff and volunteers to adjust to lifestyle changes, respond to new trends, and enhance the system’s quality and efficiency. Goals & Policies The System Plan’s goals and policies are high-level statements intended to guide city decision-making over the next 20 years. The six goals represent the desired long-term outcomes of Chanhassen’s System Plan, and were prepared as depictions of how the Parks and Recreation System will function when the guiding principles are achieved. To guide city decision-makers, the general characteristics of each goal are described by a series of policies. In the System Plan hierarchy, goals are the highest level and are numbered 1-6, while policies are number red 1.1, 1.2., etc. so it is clear to which goal a specific policy relates. Goal 1. Provide a comprehensive system of park, recreation and open space facilities to serve active and passive needs. 1.1. Provide a system that includes neighborhood parks, community parks, preserves and special use parks based on the standards outlined in Table 6-1. 1.2.

City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan96 2040 Regional Trail Search Corridors The Metropolitan Council has estab- lished general search corridors for new regional trails or extensions of existing regional trails. These cor- ridors were designated in order to create connections between regional parks and trails. The map below displays regional trail search corri- dors that intersect with the City of Chanhassen. While corridors have been identified, the specific align- ment of the regional trails will still need to be determined through a planning process led by the regional park implementing agency.

It is classified as an emerging suburban edge of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Region, and is anticipated to be fully developed by the year 2040. FIGURE 6.1 | Location Map Several regional highways provide Chanhassen with accessibility to the metropolitan area and to out state Minnesota. These include Minnesota Trunk Highway (TH) 5 which runs east/west and interchanges with I-494 east of Chanhassen in the City of Eden Prairie, TH 7 which runs east-west along the northern border of Chanhassen, TH 41 which runs north-south through the western portion of the city, TH 101 which runs north-south bisecting the southern portion of the city and defining the northeastern border of Chanhassen with Eden Prairie and U.S. Highway 212 which traverses the southern third of the city. The Chanhassen Transportation Plan is based on the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan update and incorporates the Land Use Plan to evaluate and direct the local transportation system. Updates to these plans have been under- taken by the city to recognize changes in land use, development patterns and other planning processes including: the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s “The 20-Year Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan” City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan107 (MnSHIP), which directs capital investment for Minnesota’s state highway system. The plan must identify invest- ment priorities given current and expected funding. It is updated every four years, as required by the Minnesota Statute. This MnSHIP update spans the 20-year planning period from 2018 to 2037. The Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan describes statewide objectives and strategies that help MnDOT and its partners make progress toward the Minnesota GO 50-Year Vision, Carver County’s Transportation Plan 2014 update and the Metropolitan Council’s 2040 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP) and Thrive 2040 MSP. The TPP was adopted on January 14, 2015 and outlines major transportation investments for the transportation system in the seven county metropolitan area. The TPP identified $84 Billion (2015-2040) in the Current Revenue Scenario for transportation needs in the region. As a result of this funding level, many needs throughout the metropolitan area will go unmet over the next 20 years. The TPP identified current Level of Service (LOS) problems on regional routes such as TH 5, TH 7, TH 41, TH 101 and U.S. Highway 212. Given these limited capacity improvements to regional facilities, operational (congestion), and safety problems on these facilities will continue to increase. Since the regional facilities are anticipated to function poorly, additional traffic is anticipated to divert to the local system. Carver County is in the process of updating their Comprehensive Plan including the transportation element. System changes and traffic forecasts included in this plan are based on county facilities and forecasts. Study Goals and Objectives The Transportation Plan shows how the City of Chanhassen will achieve its goal of creating an integrated, multi-modal transportation system, which permits safe, efficient and effective movement of people and goods while supporting the city’s development plans and complementing the metropolitan transportation system that lays within its boundaries. To accomplish this goal, the Transportation Plan: 1.Identifies the density and distribution of future land uses and their relationship to the proposed local transportation system and the anticipated metropolitan transportation system. 2.Develops a functional hierarchy of streets and roads and defines their access to the regional system to ensure that they support the existing and anticipated development of the area; serve both short trips and trips to adjacent communities; and complement and support the metropolitan highway system. 3.Establishes a system improvement and completion program that ensures that higher priority projects are constructed first; maintains a consistent and coherent roadway system during the roadway system development process; and provides for adequate funding for all needed improvements. 4.Identifies what transit services and travel demand management strategies are appropriate for implementation in Chanhassen in order to increase the number and proportion of people who use transit or share rides, and reduce the peak level of demand on the entire transportation system. 5.Identifies the strategies and policies that need to be implemented to properly integrate the trail system (pedestrian, bicycle, etc.) with the proposed roadway system, to ensure the provision of trails in a sequence consistent with the development of the roadway system, and to create a rational network of sidewalks. Because this analysis deals not only with streets and highways, but also with land use, trails, transit, traffic management and other topics, the results will constitute a Transportation Plan. 6.2 | Land Use Existing Land Use Existing development within the city is influenced by several factors including the relative location of the Minneap- olis Central Business District, the location of metropolitan highways and the location of several lakes within the city. Residential development, which previously has occurred primarily in the northern portion of the city, with some large lot developments in other areas, has begun to spread out throughout the city. Commercial areas in City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan108 Chanhassen have developed along the major highway corridors of TH 5 and TH 41. Additionally, a lifestyle center is under development at the intersection of U.S. Highway 212 and CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard). The city is also planning for a mixed use development in the CSAH 61 corridor in southern Chanhassen with the extension of urban services. For more information on land use with in the city see the land use section of the comprehensive plan. Metropolitan Urban Services Area The Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA) is defined as areas within the city that may be served with cen- tralized infrastructure service and which may therefore develop at urban densities and intensities. The purpose of this boundary is to define the areas within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area that are eligible for “urban services”, specifically sewers, municipal water systems and particular types of transportation systems. This boundary line is defined and maintained by the Metropolitan Council to assist in the orderly development of the metropolitan area. The city has identified the key infrastructure, lift stations, wells and streets needed to expand into the 2020 MUSA area. It is the city’s desire to direct development to those properties that have municipal services. Assuming that cur- rent development patterns continue, the majority of the city will be developed by 2040. The pace of expansion of the MUSA will depend on the availability of sufficient developable land to support the required infrastructure. The location of the MUSA line is, therefore, a valuable guide in determining the priority of roadway improvements. The roadway system within the MUSA area is going to be in demand much sooner than the roadway system outside. This is one of the reasons for having such a boundary. It allows municipalities to focus limited resources on partic- ular parts of their territory. All of Chanhassen is expected to be within the MUSA by the year 2020. However, the actual extension of urban services will be dependent on the orderly construction of key infrastructure. Land Use Plan The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan defines areas where the city will encourage specific types of land uses to be developed. The general categories of land uses defined by the city are residential, commercial, mixed use, industrial, office, public and parks. The Land Use Plan is a tool that the city uses to “guide” future development so that it is consistent with current and future land uses in the city. From these land uses, the socioeconomic projections are estimated. Socioeconomic Characteristics The analysis and projection of regional traffic conditions is conducted utilizing a technique known as traffic analysis zones. Traffic analysis zones (TAZ) are defined geographical areas within which data such as population, employ- ment and household information is collected. This data is analyzed through computer modeling techniques which results in forecasts of traffic movement between zones. Utilizing this technique, it is possible to project travel and demand such as person trip productions, person trip attractions, intrazonal person trips and motor vehicle data such as average daily trips and peak hour trips. This data is valuable in both local and regional transportation planning. Table 6.1 shows the past census population, households, and employment as well as 2020 - 2040 forecasts for the City of Chanhassen. From 2010 to 2040, the population and the number of households in Chanhassen are project- ed to increase 62 and 68 percent respectively. By 2040, Chanhassen’s employment is projected to grow 69 percent more than the 2010 figure. City forecasts are based on the location of existing development and an understanding of the kind of development that occurs as well as the rate at which development is occurring both within Chanhassen and throughout the region.

City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan110 FIGURE 6.2 | TAZ Map City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan111 6.3 | Analysis of Existing and Future Roadway Needs Determining future roadway needs is based on both an analysis of the existing roadway network needs and an understanding of how traffic demand will grow in the future. A good indicator of existing need is traffic congestion. However, maintaining system continuity as new land develops is also important. Identifying future need requires an understanding of how the city is expected to grow. The preceding section outlined the expected distribution of housing, population and employment. Traffic forecasts were made for the existing roadway system including im- provements that are already programmed. This traffic analysis allows the detection of problems that would develop if no further system improvements were made. Existing Roadway System As with all municipalities, jurisdiction over the roadway system is shared among three levels of government: the state, the county and the city. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) maintains the interstate and trunk highway system on behalf of the state. Carver County maintains the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) and County Road systems. The remaining streets and roadways are the responsibility of the city. The existing street network includes approximately 153 miles of road. This represents double the road system of 75 miles in 1990.

Existing Traffic Volumes Traffic volumes for the different highway segments within Chanhassen were collected from MnDOT traffic maps, Carver County Transportation Plan and City of Chanhassen traffic counts in the summer of 2017. These volumes represent average daily traffic volumes and are shown on the Traffic Volumes Map. There are no intermodal freight terminals within the city. There are two areas of office-industrial development. The eastern development in Hennepin County are on either side of Highway 5 from Dell Road west to approximately Highway 101. The other office industrial area is south of Highway 5 from Market Boulevard (CR 101) to Audubon Road and as far south as the TC&W Railroad.

Frequently, existing problems are closely related to future needs. As a result, a specific action in a given area can remedy existing deficiencies while providing for future needs. Issues and system deficiencies were categorized into three areas: 1) intersections, 2) roadway capacity/alignment/ connection and 3) jurisdictional continuity.

TH 7/Minnewashta Parkway The major problem with this intersection is the angle with which northbound Minnewashta Parkway joins TH 7. As a result, it is difficult to see eastbound traffic on TH 7. Also, turning movements from eastbound TH 7 to southbound Minnewashta Parkway are cumbersome. Due to heavy traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. Installation of a traffic signal or other intersection improvement, e.g. round-about, at this location may be warranted in the future. 2. TH 5/Minnewashta Parkway The City of Chanhassen completed improvements to Minnewashta Parkway in 1993. A pedestrian underpass was constructed to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in 2012. Due to heavy traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. Installation of a traffic signal and turn lanes at this location are anticipated in the future. 3. TH 5/Crimson Bay Road/Minnesota Landscape Arboretum entrance Due to heavy traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours, left turning movements in this area are difficult. Elimination of left turns may improve this intersection. 4. TH 41/Lake Lucy Road Due to heavy traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours on TH 41, turning movements in this area are difficult. Installation of a traffic signal at this location may be warranted in the future. 5. TH 41 and Minnetonka Middle School Beehive Homes of Excelsior entrances. Due to heavy traffic volumes, particularly during school pick-up and drop-off hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. Installation of a traffic signal or a round-about at this location may be warranted in the future. 6. TH 41/W. 78th Street Due to heavy traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. Installation of a traffic signal at this location may be warranted in the future. 7. TH 5/TH41 Intersection geometrics were evaluated. Additional turn lanes and through lanes are necessary on TH 41. The south approach to the intersection contains a significant slope that must be lowered. 8. TH 41/Water Tower Place A future right-in/right-out has been planned for this intersection. Installation of this intersection is not possible until the roadway geometrics are improved south of TH 5. Improvements to TH 41 are not in the 20 year MnDOT improvement plan. 9. Galpin Boulevard/Lyman Boulevard With the development of the property south of Lyman, a fourth traffic leg will be added to the intersection. 10. TH 5/Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) Traffic congestion occurs at this intersection during peak hours. Additional turn lane improvements are required on westbound left turn movements. This intersection experiences an extraordinary number of traffic accidents. 11. TH 5/Market Boulevard Traffic congestion occurs at this intersection during peak hours. Traffic backs up through the intersection of W. 78th St. There are a significant number of crashes at this intersection. 12. Market Boulevard/Market Street Due to heavy traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. This intersection will need to be monitored to determine if improvements are warranted. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan117 13.TH 5/ Great Plains Boulevard Traffic congestion occurs at this intersection during peak hours. Traffic backs up through the intersection of W. 78th St. Due to heavy traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. 14.Great Plains Boulevard/W. 79th Street This intersection includes failing level of service levels for left turning movements. This intersection will need to be monitored to determine if improvements are warranted. 15.TH 101/Pleasant View Road Due to heavy traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. Installation of a traffic signal at this location may be warranted in the future. Turn lanes were added to this intersection and a pedestrian warning light (rectangular rapid flashing beacons) was installed in 2015. 16.TH 101/Kurvers Point Road/Valley View Road Due to heavy traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. A southbound by-pass/left turn lane is provided at this intersection. This intersection will need to be monitored to determine if improvements are warranted. Pedestrian and bike crossing at this intersection are challenging and should be evaluated as part of any improvements. 17.TH 5/TH 101/Dakota Ave. Due to heavy traffic volumes, this intersection experiences an extraordinary number of traffic accidents. 18.TH 101/Flying Cloud Drive The city, in conjunction with Carver County and MnDOT, will undertake a study to determine the appropriate access controls necessary to serve the properties and maintain the capacity of Flying Cloud Drive. In 2016, a roundabout was constructed at the intersection of Flying Cloud Drive and the CSAH 101 river crossing. In the future, the north leg of the intersection realigning TH 101 will connect to the roundabout. Road Capacity/Alignment/Connections Deficiencies in this category are mainly caused due to capacity problems created by increased traffic volumes, alignment or geometric deficiencies or poor regional or local connections. Examples of such circumstances include the following: TH 5 Users of TH 5 are aware that excessive congestion on this route occurs at various times of the day with concentrations during peak hours. Portions of TH 5 are overloaded for up to 8 hours per day. In 2015, TH 5 carried 39,000 vehicles per day at Chanhassen’s eastern border, down from the 55,000 vehicle trips per day in 2005. Relief from the congestion of TH 5 was due to the construction of U.S. Highway 212 through Chanhassen. TH 5 east of Powers Boulevard and west of TH 41 continues to be a traffic-congestion problem and with continued growth in western Carver County, congestion along this corridor is expected to increase. With U.S. Highway 212 opening in 2007, some of this congestion has decreased with 26,000 vehicle trips per day in 2015. The City of Chanhassen should continue to partner with Carver County, the City of Eden Prairie, the City of Victoria, MNDOT and other communities along the corridor to plan for future improvements and identify funding. TH 7 TH 7 experiences congestion during peak hours of traffic. Daily traffic volumes exceed the design capacity for a two-lane highway. TH 41 Existing sight distances at various areas along the corridor are potentially inadequate. Additionally with 14,600 vehicle trips per day north of TH 5 and 13,200 vehicle trips per day south of TH 5 in 2015, the capacity of this roadway is being stressed. TH 101 North of TH 5 This corridor should be widened and turn lanes installed at intersections to improve function. Also, geometric improvements should be made. Since a substantial portion of TH 101 is in Carver County, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie and Hennepin County, jurisdictional and functional continuity are significant concerns that could have major consequences for the city. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan118 TH 101 South of Pioneer Trail to CSAH 61 The highway has significant alignment and geometric problems. TH 101 from TH 5 to Pioneer Trail was improved by MnDOT, Carver County and Chanhassen and will jurisdictionally be transferred to Carver County for future maintenance. The intersection of TH 101 and Pioneer Trail (CSAH 14) has been widened and signalized (2005). The purpose of the project is to improve traffic safety, capacity and connectivity issues on TH 101 between Pioneer Trail and Flying Cloud Drive, which involves realigning and reconstructing 1.2 miles of TH 101 from a two-lane undivided roadway to a four-lane divided roadway with turn lanes at key intersections. A paved multi-use trail is proposed along both sides of TH 101 from Pioneer Trail to Creekwood Drive and along the east side only from Creekwood Drive to Flying Cloud Drive. Carver County currently performs maintenance on this segment of roadway. The City of Chanhassen, in cooperation with MnDOT and Carver County, completed the preliminary design and environmental review (Environmental Assessment Worksheet) for Highway 101 from Pioneer Trail (CSAH 14) to Flying Cloud Drive (CSAH 61). On November 23, 2015, the City of Chanhassen officially mapped the preferred alignment. Preliminary Design: http://www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/DocumentCenter/View/2730 Official Map: http://www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/DocumentCenter/View/2729 FIGURE 6.6 | 101 Realignment Map As of August 2018, nine million dollars have been allocated by the State of Minnesota for this improvement. Addi- tional funding will need to be secured for the future improvements to the corridor. It is expected that state and local funds will be needed to help finance the improvements. Pleasant View Road The existing roadway alignment is inadequate in several areas. Sharp curves, private building structures located at the right of way line, hidden driveways and frequent vistas of Lotus Lake, which serve as a distraction, all combine to create a poor functioning corridor. Due to the need for more right-of-way, previous efforts to improve Pleasant View Road have been unsuccessful. As a result, the inadequacies of this route will continue to intensify in the future as traffic volumes increase. Bluff Creek Boulevard The city constructed a portion of Bluff Creek Boulevard east from Audubon Road (CSAH 15) as part of the 2005 MUSA project. However, the final segment, approximately half a mile, of the roadway to Powers Boulevard was not included in the project. This roadway must be constructed with the development of the properties west of Powers Boulevard. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan119 Galpin Boulevard (CSAH 117) This roadway provides a connection through Chanhassen to the City of Shorewood and Hennepin County ending at TH 7. In Chanhassen, the roadway is a rural design standard and should be upgraded to an urban design with safety and geometric improvements. In Shorewood, the roadway narrows to a rural section road. Sunset Trail, North Collector Street Connection Local collector roadways were identified in the 2005 MUSA project to properly provide service for the development of this area and con- nect to the County roadway system. This collector road will connect to Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18). The connection will be constructed with the development of the properties in the area. Eagle Ridge Road, East/West Connection A connection from TH 101 with a touch down in the vicinity of Bandimere Park to Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) with a touch down between Highway 212 and Homestead Lane. These connections will be constructed with the development of the properties in the area. Additionally, this road will make connections with West 96th Street as well as Homestead Lane and/or Flintlock Trail. Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) Chanhassen, Chaska and Carver County are currently working on planning for the future improvements to Lyman Boulevard from Galpin Boulevard to the west. Bluff Creek Golf Course A connection from Pioneer Trail and Powers Boulevard to TH 101 will be required as part of any redevelopment of the golf course. The existing Creekwood Drive is not designed or constructed to accommodate redevelopment traffic. These connections will be constructed with the development of the properties in the area. Flying Cloud Boulevard (CSAH 61) A continuation of the improvement to CSAH 61 west of Bluff Creek Drive to Engler Boulevard is being reviewed by Carver County, Chanhassen and Chaska. These improvements are intended to improve traffic capacity. This project is part of the highway turn-back roadway projects. Other Local Street Improvements: Dogwood Road/Crimson Bay Road At the present time, Crimson Bay Road does not connect to Dogwood Road. Correspondingly, the Crimson Bay neighborhood has only one means of egress/ingress. A future street connection in this area is needed to alleviate existing access problems. Additionally, it is anticipated that once this connection is made, access to TH 5 shall be made into a right-in/right-out only. Fox Hollow Drive The right-of-way is dedicated for the roadway connection. However, the public street does not connect to the two ends of the road. Cur- rently, through traffic must go through a driveway on the North Lotus Lake Park property to continue on Fox Hollow Drive. A public street should be constructed within the right-of-way to complete this roadway as part of any street maintenance or reconstruction project. Nez Perce/Pleasant View Road Connection During review of the Vineland Forest plat, it was evident that a connection between Nez Perce/Lake Lucy Road and Pleasant View Road was warranted since there was no north-south connection between Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) and Lotus Lake. Improved access is needed for local trips and to ensure the adequate provision of emergency services. At the same time, there were concerns voiced regarding the introduction of additional trips onto Pleasant View Road since the street already suffers from capacity and design constraints. Therefore, it was determined that the Pleasant View Road intersection should be located as far west as possible at the Peaceful Lane intersection. Pipewood Lane and W. 62nd Street A secondary access to this area was discussed as part of the plat for Hidden Creek Meadows. Cathcart Lane is a substandard gravel roadway that provides emergency access to the area. With the future development of the farmstead, a public street will connect these roadways. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan120 Timberwood Drive/Stone Creek Court The neighborhoods of Timberwood Estates and Stone Creek are separated by approximately 30 feet of unfinished road. This connection would permit the residents of Timberwood Estates to access the Bluff Creek trail system. In addition, this connection could provide a secondary access to Timberwood Estates for residents and emergency vehicles. 6.4 | Future Traffic Forecasts The city has relied on the 2040 baseline traffic forecasts incorporated within the Carver County Transportation Plan to determine the adequacy and appropriateness of the street and highway system to accommodate the development that is expected to be in place by the year 2040. The forecasts were prepared based upon projected population, households and employment data developed by the City of Chanhassen and Carver County in conjunction with the Metropolitan Council. 2040 Baseline – Development assumptions are consistent with the Metropolitan Council’s Thrive MSP 2040. The population, household and employment information was distributed throughout the city to a refined network of Traffic Assignment Zones (TAZ). The analysis assumed improvements to regional facilities only if they were programmed. Other local improvements were assumed if they have been included in previous transpor- tation plans and were part of the arterial system. These system improvements are listed as follows: »TH 41:Four lanes from Highway 5 to the south Carver County boundary. »TH 101:Four lanes from Pioneer Trail (CSAH 14) to Flying Cloud Drive (CSAH 61) »Lyman Blvd: Four lanes from Galpin Boulevard (CSAH 15) to TH 41. The resulting traffic projections are shown in the 2040 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) map. The forecasts are based on a capacity restrained network. The level of congestion of the future highway system depends in large measure on both the capacity improvements undertaken and the availability of a local arterial system to complement and relieve the regional system. The 2040 forecasts suggest the following: Regional Facilities (TH 7, TH 5, TH 41 and U.S. Highway 212) currently are congested. With little or no capacity improvements to these facilities, congestion will increase on these facilities. In addition, more trips will divert to local routes such as CSAH 14 (Pioneer Trail), CSAH 18 (Lyman Boulevard), County Road 117 (Galpin), CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard) and to other collector routes within the city. Regional River Crossing Bridges (TH 41 and TH 101) are congested currently and will become more congested as the region expands. The development of U.S. Highway 212 is anticipated to attract more trips from Scott County and U.S. Highway 169. A connection from Highways 212 to 169 will provide relief to this congestion. Agencies should continue to investigate and preserve this corridor or identify how existing corridors could be expanded to address river crossing needs. While CSAH 101 was raised above the flood elevation and widened to four lanes in 2016, additional cross river traffic is anticipated. Improvements proposed for municipal roadways are under direct control of the city and will receive highest priority in the city’s Transportation Improvement Program. For roadways on the county system, the city will cooperate with Carver County and encourage the improvement of county roads in accordance with this plan. 6.5 | System Plan The proposed roadway system should be consistent with the anticipated density and distribution of land uses in the city in the year 2040. The purpose of this section is to review the existing functional classification system and identify po- tential functional classification and other system changes that should be made to accommodate the anticipated growth. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan121 Guiding Planning Principles The City of Chanhassen Transportation Plan has been developed using the following guidelines and planning principles: 1.The functional classification of the roadway system in Chanhassen should conform to the following criteria and characteristics: »The trip length characteristics of the route as indicated by length of route, type and size of traffic generators served, and route continuity. »The ability of the route to serve regional population centers, regional activity centers and major traffic generators. »The spacing of the route to serve different functions (need to provide access and mobility functions for entire area). »The ability of the route to provide continuity through individual travelsheds and between travelsheds. »The role of the route in providing mobility or land access (number of accesses, access spacing, speed, parking and traffic control). »The relationship of the route to adjacent land uses (location of growth areas, industrial areas and neighborhoods). »The spacing guidelines for the specific road classification. The functional classification system is broken down into four categories – principal arterials, minor arterials (‘A’ and ‘Other’), collectors (major and minor) and local roadways. 2.The plan should reflect vehicular travel demand at full development. 3.The full development level, as defined by the proposed Land Use Guide Plan, should incorporate the limiting effects that the identified physical constraints have on the attainment of the anticipated level of development. 4.Compatibility and connectivity should be maintained between the roadway system in Chanhassen and county and regional roadway systems. 5.In developing the plan, roadway segments and intersections that cannot accommodate the anticipated vehicular travel demand should be identified. Functional Classification System The functional classification criteria were closely followed during the preparation of this plan. The intent of a functional classification system is the creation of a hierarchy of roads that collects and distributes traffic from neighborhoods to the metropolitan highway system in the most efficient manner possible given the topography and other physical constraints of the area. Places of high demand, employment or commercial centers, should be served by roadways higher in the hierarchy such as arterial roads. Neighborhoods and places of low demand should have roadways of lower classification such as collectors and local streets. It is in this way that the land use plan is inte- grated into the transportation plan. An important consideration in developing a functional classification system is adherence to the spacing criteria estab- lished by the Metropolitan Council (Table 6.4). The City of Chanhassen is currently considered part of the emerging suburban edge area. As a result, the city has a mixture of urban, suburban and rural areas. It is anticipated, however, that the city will be fully developed by 2040. The ultimate roadway system assumes full development, but the cur- rent distinction between developing and rural is important in the establishment of implementation priorities. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan122 TABLE 6.4 | Summary of Spacing Criteria Spacing (Miles) Metro Centers/ Regional Fully Functional Business Developed Developing Rural Classification Concentrations Areas Areas Areas Principal Arterial --2-3 3 -6 6-12 Minor Arterial 1/4 -¾1/2 -1 1 -2 As needed Collector 1/8 -½1/4 -3/4 1/2 -1 As needed Source: Metropolitan Council. The City of Chanhassen functional classification system is shown in below. The classification system is consistent with the preliminary changes that are being proposed by Carver County in the update of their transportation plan. Since the plan is still under development, there may be some further modification of the functional classification system. The functional classification plan includes the following categories: 1.Principal Arterials 2.Minor Arterials »“A” Minor Arterials »“Other” Minor Arterials 3.Major Collector Streets 4.Minor Collector Streets 5.Local Streets City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan123 FIGURE 6.7 | Functional Classification Map City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan124 Principal arterials are the highest roadway classification and are considered part of the metropolitan highway sys- tem. These roads are intended to connect the central business districts of the two central cities with each other and with other regional business concentrations in the metropolitan area. These roads also connect the Twin Cities with important locations outside the metropolitan area. Principal arterials are generally constructed as limited access freeways in the developed area, but may also be con- structed as multiple lane divided highways. The following facilities are designated as principal arterials within the City of Chanhassen: Trunk Highway 7 TH 7 serves as a key east-west route through the south central portion of Minnesota. It connects the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area with cities such as Hutchinson, and Montivideo to the west. It is located in the northern portion of Chanhassen and provides regional access and mobility to primarily residential areas. In Chanhassen, vehicle movements are generally uninhibited by signals or major street intersections. To the east, however, Highway 7 passes through Minnetonka and northern Hopkins where there are more frequent signalized intersections and com- mercial development. The roadway carries substantial vehicular traffic and is considered congested (LOS F) during peak travel periods. East of TH 41, TH 7 is a four lane divided highway. West of TH 41, it is a two lane highway. Eventually, TH 7 should be upgraded to four lanes. U.S. Highway 212 The U.S. Highway 212 is a principal arterial and connects small rural communities to the Twin Cities Metropolitan area. In Chanhassen, U.S. Highway 212 travels diagonally across the southern third of the city. This facility was planned for many years and became operational in 2007. The route is a four lane divided facility with controlled access at two interchanges in Chanhassen, one at CR 101 and the other at CSAH 17. New Principal Arterial River Crossing Currently there is a lack of a principal north-south arterial route in the region. This is due to physical constraints such as Lake Minnetonka and Minnesota River bluff area as well as past travel patterns favoring east-west travel. However, as the urban area continues to grow, north-south travel demand is anticipated to increase. The spacing from the Bloomington Ferry Bridge (U.S. Highway 169) to CR 101 is approximately 7 miles. This is inconsistent with the functional classification guidelines. A north-south regional river crossing has been shown previously on the Metropolitan Council’s functional classification system. This route is intended to accommodate regional trips between new Highways 212 and 169. This route was designated a principal arterial route in lieu of designating the current alignment of TH 41 a principal arterial route. This was primarily done because TH 41 goes through downtown Chaska and has numerous access points and limited ability for capacity improvements. The existing river crossings on TH 41, CR 101 and U.S. High- way 169 are shown to be at capacity based on traffic forecasting work done for the Carver County Transportation Plan. Therefore, expansion of existing river crossings or an additional regional river crossing appears to be needed to address regional growth. As part of the review process for the river crossing, MnDOT had prepared a Tier I Environmental Impact State- ment (DEIS), TH 41 Minnesota River Crossing. The study process began in 2002. The scoping decisions for the environmental reviews were made in February 2005 and revised in February 2006. The DEIS review and comment period ended on August 10, 2007. The end result of the DEIS was to identify a preferred alignment for the new river crossing. The preferred alignment should be both a cost effective solution and minimize social, economic and environmental impacts. Once the preferred alignment is chosen, local governments will need to officially map the alignment in order to preserve it for the river crossing. The preferred alignment begins near the boundary of Carver City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan125 and Chaska, goes south of the Chaska Athletic Fields and then parallels TH 41 across the Minnesota River to U.S. Highway 169. A Tier I Environmental Impact Statement review was completed for the river crossing in 2015. This study was done so that a corridor could be selected for preservation for the future Minnesota River Crossing. The crossing will connect Highways 169 and 212, near Highway 41. MnDOT worked with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), local governmental units, the Metropolitan Council, state and federal resource agencies and other interest- ed parties to study the need for and potential impacts of this project. A Record of Decision was signed by the FHWA on March 16, 2015. Design details will be studied during a Tier II Environmental Impact Statement process that will occur closer to construction, which is not anticipated for several years. It is anticipated that this route will be a four lane divided highway with interchange access only. Minor Arterials Minor arterials are designed to emphasize mobility over land access, serving to connect cities with adjacent commu- nities and the metropolitan highway system. Major business concentrations and other important traffic generators are often located on minor arterials. In the metropolitan area, minor arterials are divided into two classes “A” Minor Arterials and “Other” Minor Arterials. The number of lanes on arterial routes should be based on the projected vol- umes. Routes are likely to be constructed either as four-lane undivided roads or as three-lane roadways where there is insufficient right-of-way when the system is complete. »Relievers – Minor arterials that provide direct relief for metropolitan highway traffic. »Expanders – Routes that provide a way to make connections between developing areas outside the I-494, I-694 interstate ring. »Connectors – Roads that would provide good, safe connections to and among town centers in the transitional and rural areas in the area. »Augmenters – Roadways that augment principal arterials within the interstate ring or beltway. To the extent possible, “A” minor arterials are the most continuous and form a grid network over the entire city; however, topographic constraints and the location of existing highways and existing land uses can result in devia- tions from the spacing guidelines. Nevertheless, continuity and connectivity among the “A” minor arterials and the principal arterials allows the arterial network to provide important mobility functions throughout the city. In Chanhassen, the current spacing of “A” Minor arterials is approximately every one mile (spacing between TH 101, CSAH 17 and TH 41). The desirable spacing for “A” minor arterials is considered to be one half to 1 mile for fully developed areas. Because Chanhassen is anticipated to be fully developed by the year 2040, additional “A” minor arterials should be designated to maintain mobility throughout the city. The Minor Arterials that are recom- mended in Chanhassen include the following: 1.“A” Minor Arterials Trunk Highway 5 is important roadway in Chanhassen functioning as the city’s transportation backbone. In the early 1970’s, TH 5 was considered a principal arterial route. This designation has changed over time because of the close proximity of TH 7 and lack of continuity west of Carver County. Currently, TH 5 serves as the major link for Chanhassen to the metropolitan area. In addition, TH 5 provides regional access to a large number of businesses and industrial properties in the area. The concentration of these large employers results in some “reverse commuting” patterns as well as destinations for many trips coming in to Chanhassen from the west. Even though this route is designated as a minor arterial, it provides many functions similar to TH 7 and U.S. Highway 212 which are principal arterial routes. As a result, it is recommended that the city continue to support improvement and access management strategies that would maintain the mobility of this route. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan126 Within Chanhassen, the flow of traffic along Highway 5 is interrupted by traffic signals at TH 41, Century Boule- vard, CSAH 19 (Galpin Boulevard), Audubon Road, CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard), CR 101 (Market Boulevard), Great Plains Boulevard, Dakota Avenue and Dell Road. There are no significant commercial or residential uses accessing directly onto Highway 5. Eastbound traffic on TH 5 typically connects with either I-494, U.S. Highway 169 and TH 62. From the Chanhassen border to I-494, TH 5 contains signalized intersections at Eden Prairie Road and Fuller Street. These signalized inter- sections combined with higher traffic volumes in Eden Prairie contribute to significant traffic delays during peak hours. TH5 is a four lane highway east of TH 41 and two lane west of TH 41. Eventually, TH 5 should be a four lane facility. Trunk Highway 41 – Hazeltine Boulevard Another “A” minor arterial that has many principal arterial characteristics is TH 41. This route is located in western Chanhassen and is a major north-south river crossing west of the Bloomington Ferry Bridge (nine miles to the east) that connects U.S. Highway 169, U.S. Highway 212, TH 5 and TH 7. As a result, this route will continue to be an important link serving Carver County and the City of Chanhassen. Chanhassen and Chaska have done a good job in protecting the mobility of this corridor by providing limited access and proper development setbacks. With other north-south corridors being limited, the volumes on this corridor are anticipated to increase as additional development occurs. Currently, TH 41 is a two lane highway through Chanhassen. Eventually, it should be a four lane facility. TH 101/CR 101 This designation is consistent with the Metropolitan Council’s Functional Classification Plan and Hennepin Coun- ty’s designation. This designation is consistent with the spacing guidelines for developing areas. The projected year 2040 daily volumes are at the upper limit or exceed the recommended guidelines for volumes. The roadway con- nects principal and other minor arterial routes thereby providing an important mobility function for the region. The city has historically limited direct access to Highway 101 and will continue to do so. North of TH 5, TH 101 is a two lane facility. South of TH 5 to CSAH 14 (Pioneer Trail), CR 101 is a four lane facility. CSAH 61 – Flying Cloud Drive After the construction of new U.S. Highway 212, old TH 212 (CSAH 61) was downgraded from a principal arterial route to an “A” minor arterial. Flying Cloud Drive is a two lane undivided highway with limited access control on the segment within Chanhassen; however, the river bluff substantially restricts the ability to access this route. The route continues to link Chaska and CR 101 river crossing with Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The route fits the spacing guidelines for “A” minor arterial routes and provides east-west traffic flow below the bluff. In conjunction with the construction of the CR 101 river crossing, Carver County reconstructed CSAH 61 from Highway 101 to Bluff Creek Drive. A continuation of the improvements to CSAH 61 west of Bluff Creek Drive to Engler Boulevard is being reviewed by Carver County, Chanhassen and Chaska. However, this project is part of the county’s unfunded high priority roadway projects. Reconstruction of Flying Cloud Drive (CSAH 61) from Highway 101 in Chanhassen to Charlson Road in Eden Prairie (3.7 Miles) is programmed to begin in 2018. Hennepin County is leading this reconstruction project. The reconstruction includes: »Two-lane roadway with shoulders »Continuous Shared Center left-turn lane »Right-turn lanes at key intersections »Multi-use trail on north side of roadway »Raise road out of 100 year flood plain »Retaining Walls »Bridges »Intersection Improvements City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan127 CSAH 14 – Pioneer Trail County State Aid Highway 14 is currently classified as an “A” minor arterial based on the spacing with other similar east west routes and the connections that it provides to other arterial facilities: TH 41, CSAH 15, CSAH 17 and CR/TH 101. CSAH 15 – Audubon Road (Lyman Boulevard to south boundary)and Galpin Boulevard (TH 5 to Lyman Boulevard) Together these routes form a north-south connection between CSAH 61 and TH 5. This route meets the spacing with other similar north-south routes and the connections that it provides to other arterial facilities. It connects facilities such as CSAH 61, CSAH 14 (Pioneer Trail), CSAH 18 (Lyman Boulevard) and TH 5. North of CSAH 18 (Lyman Boulevard) the spacing of this roadway with CSAH 17 to the east is approximately one mile and the spacing of this route with TH 41 to the west is approximately one mile. However, there are physical barriers (Bluff Creek) that limit the connections between these routes. North of CSAH 18 (Lyman Boulevard) the spacing of this route with TH 41 to the west is approximately two miles and the spacing of this roadway with Powers Boulevard to the east is approximately one and one-half miles. As the City of Chanhassen develops, this facility will provide mobility for north-south traffic flow to important destinations within the city as well as the regional transportation system. CSAH 17 – Powers Boulevard County State Aid Highway 17 is classified as an “A” minor arterial based on the spacing with other similar north- south routes and the connections that it provides to other arterial facilities. It connects facilities such as CSAH 14 (Pioneer Trail), U.S. Highway 212 (interchange), CSAH 18 (Lyman Boulevard), TH 5 and TH 7. The spacing of this roadway with TH 101 to the east is approximately one mile; however, there are physical barriers (lakes and wet- lands) that limit the connections between these routes. The spacing of this route with TH 41 to the west is approx- imately two miles. As the City of Chanhassen develops, this facility will provide mobility for north-south traffic flow to important destinations within the city as well as the regional transportation system. It is recognized that the character of CSAH 17 does change as it extends north into Hennepin County (CR 82). The roadway becomes nar- rower and setbacks are limited. 2. “Other” Minor Arterials The Metropolitan Council defines all minor arterials other than “A” minor arterials as “Other” minor arterials. These roadways also serve a citywide function. Medium to long distance trips use the “Other” minor arterial system. When combined with the “A” minor arterial system, most places in the city are within a mile of such a roadway. There is one route in the City of Chanhassen that is proposed as “Other” minor arterial. This route is described as follows: CSAH 18 – Lyman Boulevard Lyman Boulevard is designated as “Other” minor arterial. It is an east-west route that parallels TH 5 one to one and one-half miles to the south. It currently connects TH 41, CSAH 15, CSAH 17 and CR101; however, an extension is planned to the west of TH 41. The spacing guidelines are consistent with designation of an “A” minor arterial for this route. However, we have chosen to leave the designation of Lyman Boulevard as an “Other” minor arterial because it lacks of continuity east of TH 101. It is in close proximity to the arboretum and there are limited setbacks in the City of Victoria. Major Collectors Major collectors are designed to serve shorter trips that occur entirely within the city and to provide access from neighborhoods to the arterial system. These roads supplement the arterial system in the sense that they emphasize mobility over land access, but they are expected, because of their locations, to carry less traffic than arterial roads. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan128 The following roadways are recommended as Major Collectors in Chanhassen. Minnewashta Parkway – This street serves as the only north/south route between TH 5 and TH 7 west of Lake Minnewashta. It is also located such that it likely serves some through trips from outside the city along TH 5, traveling to the north to TH 7, as well as locally generated traffic along its route. Galpin Boulevard (CR 117) north of TH 5 – This route connects TH 5 to Shorewood and Highway 7 and is approximately midway be- tween TH 41 and CSAH 17. Lake Drive – Lake Drive serves two functions: local access south of TH 5 and a parallel collector to TH 5. This route is capable of carrying off loaded local trips of short to medium length. The city undertook a joint project with MnDOT and the City of Eden Prairie to extend Lake Drive East to the city line where it merges with the signalized intersection at TH 5 and Dell Road. Pleasant View Road – Pleasant View Road serves as the only east-west connection between CSAH 17 and TH 101 in northern Chanhassen. Lake Lucy Road – Lake Lucy Road serves as the only east-west connection between TH 41 and CSAH 17 in northern Chanhassen. Coulter Boulevard – Coulter Boulevard serves two functions. These include local access south of TH 5 and a parallel collector to TH 5 capable of carrying off loaded local trips of short to medium length. West 78th Street – This east-west route connects TH 41 to TH 101. It parallels TH 5 and provides local access to the properties adjacent to TH 5. Minor Collectors Great Plains Boulevard – This route connects West 78th Street to Lake Drive East. Kerber Boulevard – This route connects West 78th Street in downtown Chanhassen to Powers Boulevard and is parallel to Powers Boulevard. Market Boulevard – This route provides a link between TH 5 and downtown Chanhassen. Century Boulevard – This route provides a north south link between West 78th Street, TH 5 and 82nd Street West. Bluff Creek Drive – This route provides a north-south connection from Bluff Creek Boulevard and Pioneer Trail (CSAH 14) to Flying Cloud Drive. Bluff Creek Boulevard – This route provides an east-west connection from CSAH 15 to CSAH 17 and U. S. Highway 212 interchange. The eastern portion of this roadway will be constructed with the development of the adjacent property. Dakota Avenue (TH 5 to Lake Drive East) – This route completes the connection of TH 101. Yosemite – Lake Lucy Road to city boundary provides a valuable link between Chanhassen and Excelsior. (This route has been added to the collector system since the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.) The ultimate roadway system is based upon the functional classification presented above. It reflects full development of the city according to the land use plan and socioeconomic forecasts presented earlier. The roadway cross-section identified for each classification would be expected to be in place at the time full development is achieved. 6.6 | Planned and Programmed Improvements Roadway Plan Traffic on Chanhassen’s roadway system will continue to increase due to new commercial, residential and industrial development and changes in socio-economic conditions. The impact of added traffic will be more evident on the arterial and collector routes. However, failure to address capacity issues on major routes will result in more traffic diverting to local streets. This can result in safety, speed and other undesirable impacts to collector routes. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan129 In order to ensure that traffic concerns are addressed thoroughly and comprehensively, the transportation chapter of the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan contains a planned and recommended roadway system for the year 2040. This system is the result of both current and past planning efforts. The following major improvements are components of the recommendedand planned transportation system: TH 5 – The city will continue to work to get TH 5 improved west of TH 41. The current Carver County Transportation Plan indicates a need for a four-lane TH 5 west toward Waconia to accommodate traffic flows. TH 101 – Planning efforts since 1980 have consistently identified the need for improvements to TH 101. Planned improvements north of TH 5 consist primarily of reconstruction and realignment of the route north of the intersection of TH101 and West 78th Street to effectuate better traffic flow. Based on traffic projections, a four-lane roadway may be required. CR 101 has been widened to 4-lanes and the alignment improved from TH 5 to Pioneer Trail (CSAH 14) On January 9, 2006, the city approved a Joint Powers Agreement with Carver County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation to fund the corridor study from Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) to Scott County. The purpose of this study was to identify deficiencies and improvements necessary for a two-lane, 3.3 mile segment of TH 101 Corridor in Chanhassen between Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) on the north and the Scott County Line on the south. The city proposed that construction of this project be split in to at least two phases. Phase I would be from Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) to Pioneer Trail (CSAH 14), which has been completed. Improvements south of Pioneer Trail (CSAH 14) depend on MnDOT turn-back program funding or other funding sources. The road includes a four-lane design. The CR 101 river crossing completed in 2016 expanded the bridge to four-lanes to accommodate traffic with a pe- destrian trail on one side. In addition, the bridge was raised above the 100 year flood elevation. TH 41 – TH 41 needs to be upgraded to a four-lane cross section from TH 7 south to the County line. In addition, the ver- tical alignment of the south approach to TH 5 must be reduced to improve the safety of this heavily used intersection. New Regional River Crossing – U.S. Highway 212 to U. S. Highway 169 – Currently, TH 41 and CR 101 bridges serve the river crossing needs for the region. TH 41 is significantly over capacity. The expansion of CR 101 river crossing has improved traffic crossing the river. The city will work with adjacent communities, MnDOT, and the Metropolitan Council to determine potential alternatives to address capacity needs in the region. The regional river crossing will be a four-lane facility with limited interchange access. It is not currently in any funding plan. CSAH 18 (Lyman Boulevard) – Chanhassen, Chaska and Carver County are currently working for the future improve- ment to Lyman Boulevard west of Galpin Boulevard. This roadway will require a four-lane design. CSAH 14 (Pioneer Trail) – This roadway provides a vital transportation connection from Hennepin County to western Carver County. Based on projected traffic volumes, a four-lane roadway design is required. Recommended Local Street Improvements As Chanhassen continues to develop, transportation conflicts and inconsistencies will become evident. These situ- ations, unlike planning for major routes, are not predictable since they result from the merging of existing and new land use patterns. The Comprehensive Plan can be a useful tool in assisting the city in resolving these local access situations. It is the city’s policy to require interconnections between neighborhoods to foster a sense of community, to improve safety and to provide convenient access for residents. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan130 Often during the subdivision review process, the need for future extension of local streets becomes apparent. As a result, access concepts are developed to assist in creating an acceptable configuration for the plat and as a guide for the future development of adjoining parcels. It is the city’s intent that the Comprehensive Plan serve as an imple- mentation tool by providing a means by which to record these access plans, legitimizing them by the nature of the fact that they are approved by the City Council prior to recording. It also will provide a useful means of providing information to residents and developers seeking information of future development potential. These concept plans are illustrated below. Additional concept plans will be added to this document over time as they are developed. These concept plans are illustrated below. Additional concept plans will be added to this document over time as they are developed. Bluff Creek Boulevard – The final connection from Powers Boulevard to the westerly terminus of the roadway will be constructed with the development of the underlying properties. North and South 2005 MUSA Collectors – The connection from Bluff Creek Boulevard to Lyman Boulevard will be constructed in conjunction with the development of the underlying properties. The south connection was construct- ed in conjunction with the Pioneer Pass development (Bluff Creek Drive). Eagle Ridge Drive east-west connection – This roadway will connect CSAH 17 to CR 101. The first section of this roadway was installed in the Foxwood development. The remainder of the connections will be constructed with the development of the properties in the area. It should be noted that this connection will likely provide additional connections to West 96th Street and Homestead Lane. Dogwood Road/Crimson Bay Road – Crimson Bay Road does not connect to Dogwood Road. Correspondingly, the Crimson Bay neighborhood has only one means of egress/ingress. A future street connection in this area is needed to alleviate existing access problems. Carver Beach Road Conditions – Chanhassen’s Carver Beach neighborhood was one of the first residential develop- ments on Lotus Lake. This area consists of smaller lots and narrow rights of way. Drainage problems occur due to topography and a lack of storm sewer facilities in some portions of the area. Improvement of existing conditions can only occur in a comprehensive manner involving the reconstruction of both streets and utility systems. Because of development constraints, typical street standards will not be applicable in this area. Nez Perce/Pleasant View Road Connection – During review of the Vineland Forest plat, it was evident that a connec- tion between Nez Perce/Lake Lucy Road and Pleasant View Road was warranted since there was no north/south connection between County Road 17 and Lotus Lake. Improved access is needed for local trips and to ensure the adequate provision of emergency services. At the same time, there were concerns voiced regarding the introduction of additional trips onto Pleasant View Road since the street already suffers from capacity and design constraints. Therefore, it was determined that the Pleasant View Road intersection should be located as far west as possible at the Peaceful Lane intersection. Timberwood Drive/Stone Creek Court – The neighborhoods of Timberwood Estates and Stone Creek are separated by approximately 30 feet of unfinished roads. This connection would permit the residents of Timberwood Estates to ac- cess the Bluff Creek trail system. In addition, this connection could provide a secondary access for Timberwood Es- tates for residents and emergency vehicles. It would also facilitate improved school bus access to the neighborhood. Pipewood Lane and West 62nd Street – A secondary access to this area was discussed as part of the plat for Hidden Creek Meadows. Cathcart Lane is a substandard gravel roadway that provides emergency access to the area. With the future development of the farmstead, a public street will connect these roadways. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan131 The City of Chanhassen lies within the Metropolitan Council’s Transit Market Areas III and IV, which represents areas with generally lower concentrations of activity, housing and jobs, with intermittent pockets of moderate con- centrations. Market Area III is located generally around the Central Business District and includes the areas around the two park and ride facilities in Chanhassen. Market Area IV encompasses the majority of the City of Chanhassen. Transit Market Area III has moderate density but tends to have a less traditional street grid that can limit the effectiveness of transit. It is typically urban with large portions of Suburban and Suburban Edge communities. Transit service in this area is primarily commuter express bus service with some fixed-route local service providing basic coverage. However in Chanhassen, there is currently no fixed route circulator service. General public dial-a-ride services are available where fixed-route service is not viable. Transit Market Area IV has lower concentrations of population and employment and a higher rate of auto ownership. It is primarily composed of Suburban Edge and Emerging Suburban Edge communities. This market can support peak-period express bus services if a sufficient concentration of commuters likely to use transit service is located along a corridor. The low-density development and suburban form of development presents challenges to fixed-route transit. General public dial-a-ride services are appropriate in Market Area IV. Metropolitan Council service options for this area include peak-only express, small vehicle dial-a-ride, mid-day circulators, special needs para-transit (ADA, seniors) and ride-sharing services which are, generally, tied to park-and-ride lots and hubs. Two forms of mass transit, buses and light rail/commuter rail, are specific components of this plan. Plans for these services are outlined as follows: Buses In late 1986, Chanhassen joined the cities of Eden Prairie and Chaska in the creation of the Southwest Metro Transit Commission, operated under a joint powers agreement between the communities, to provide transit service known as the Southwest Transit (SWT). SWT is governed by a seven-person Commission. Each of the three cities has an appointed member as well as an elected official. 6.7 | Alternative Modes Transit Although private cars are the most commonly used mode of transpor- tation for Chanhassen residents, mass transit serves as an important alternative to automobile uses and serves as one leg of a multi-mod- al transportation strategy for the community. Southwest Transit Park and Ride Locations and Transit Routes https://www.swtransit.org/schedules/ FIGURE 6.8 | Southwest Transit Park and Ride Locations and Transit Routes LEGEND https://www.swtransit.org/schedules/ Park & Ride Routes Park & Ride Stations Route 699 Route 600 Route 602 City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan132 The seventh member is a representative of the riding public. The city will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the Southwest Transit program in providing cost effective transit service to the City of Chanhassen. Public transit service is provided for Chaska, Chanhassen and Eden Prairie, as well as Carver and Victoria. SWT currently offers service to and from Downtown Minneapolis, the University of Minnesota, Normandale Community College, Best Buy Headquarters and Southdale Transit Center. In 2018, routes include 602, 690, 691, 692, 695, 698, and 699. Park and Ride SWT has two park and ride parking ramps within Chanhassen. These ramps are located in the downtown area off Great Plains Boulevard and Market Street (Chanhassen Transit Station) served by routes 690, 692, 698, and 699, and at U.S. Highway 212 and CR 101 (Southwest Village) served by routes 602, 690, 691, 695, 698, and 699. In addition, SWT has parking facilities in Eden Prairie at U.S. Highway 212 and Prairie Center Drive (Southwest Sta- tion) in Chaska at U.S. Highway 212 and TH 41(East Creek Station) and in Carver at Jonathan Carver Parkway and Ironwood Drive (Carver Station). There are several services provided by Southwest Transit: Express Service – This service provides express service for passengers working in downtown Minneapolis. Riders are picked up at any of the park and ride lots servicing Chanhassen and driven to downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota without stopping. At the end of the workday, the service is reversed taking passengers back to Chanhassen. Southwest Flex Commute – These routes start in Minneapolis and bring passengers to job sites in Chanhassen, Chaska and Eden Prairie. The city’s rapid growth as an employment concentration warrants service to facilitate work trips. SW Flex services provided over 65,000 trips in 2017. Regional Routes – SWT has 80 buses and offers service to Downtown Minneapolis, the University of Minnesota, Southdale Shopping Mall and regional employment centers. Special seasonal routes are also provided to the Minne- sota State Fair, US Bank Stadium and Target Field. Bus shoulder use is permitted on Highways 5 and 212. SW Prime – An on demand ride service to help transit users bridge the gap between transit stations and final desti- nations. This service typically has between 350 and 400 daily users. SW Prime is a transit service for Eden Prairie, Chaska, Chanhassen, Carver and Victoria. To transfer between zones, riders are dropped off and picked up at SW Chanhassen Village station on Hwy. 212 and Hwy. 101. As a modern local service, riders may request a ride through smartphone app, website or phone, indicate the location from which they want to be picked up and where they want to go. SWT vehicles are ADA compliant. Other Services – Because the agency’s mission is to meet the transit needs of the community, Southwest Transit provides a variety of other transit opportunities. For example, group rides are available for a variety of businesses, schools, organizations and others. Whenever possible, Southwest Transit provides buses for little or no charge for community purposes in Chanhassen and other service communities. SWT has also begun (2014) a seasonal and daily bike rental opportunity (SW Rides) from several of its transit sta- tions. This program is run from April through October. SWT offers travel training services to seniors and other community organizations to promote existing services and help people understand who to use the transit services provided by SWT. SWT provides business out-reach service to Chanhassen businesses in order to help tailor transit services that will meet the transportation needs of local businesses. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan133 Light Rail Transit Light rail transit is a mode of transportation that is being constructed in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. In 1987, Hennepin County received authorization from the State Legislature to prepare a Comprehensive LRT System Plan for Hennepin County. Toward that end, the county estab- lished the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority to administer the system. Hennepin County owns rail- road right of way from downtown Minneapolis to Victoria and Chaska. Other counties in the metropolitan area have followed Hennepin County’s lead and have also established railroad authorities. FIGURE 6.10 | Green Line LRT Map 36 FIGURE 6.9 | Blue Line LRT Map Non-SWT Services Metro Mobility Is a shared public transportation service for certified riders, who are unable to use regular fixed-route buses due to a disability or health condition. Rides are provided for any purpose. SmartLink Transit (Formerly known as Carver County Transit), provides services to transit dependent residents of Carver and Scott counties. It includes Dial-A-Ride, Medical Assistance and Volunteer Drivers for both Scott and Carver counties. Pri- ority will be given to elderly, disabled and economically disadvantaged residents. Transitlink is a small bus, curb to curb, reservation only, regional dial-a-ride. Smartlink averages over 400 passenger trips per day in Carver and Scott Counties utilizing 23 buses. WeCAB (Community Area Busing) Provides safe, affordable and flexible supplemental transportation to those who are unable to drive to medical appointments, grocery store or food shelf, church, volunteering or social events. Rail Service Twin Cities and Western Railroad (TC&W) runs through the city entering just north of Highway 5 at Dell Road and cuts diagonally to Lyman Boulevard at Galpin Boulevard. TC&W is a regional railroad operating over 229 miles of track serving some of the most productive agricultural counties in Minnesota and South Dakota. In- terchanging with all the Class 1 railroads in the Twin Cities, TC&W provides a connection for the surrounding areas. Operating as far east as St. Paul, Minnesota and as far west as Milbank, South Dakota, the TC&W is the largest shortline in Minnesota. Depending on freight requirements, there are between 1 and 10 daily trains through the community.

Local governments, particularly counties and regional railroad authorities, play a lead role in the planning of transitway corridors and recommending locally preferred alternatives. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), Metropolitan Council and Metro Transit, Counties Transit Improvement Boar (CTIB), counties and cities are in- volved in the funding, design and construction of transitway facilities and services. Currently, the Blue Line connecting downtown Minneapolis to Bloomington and the Mall of America and the Green Line Connecting the downtowns of Minneapolis and St. Paul are in operation. Southwest Light Rail Transit (Green Line Extension) The Southwest Light Rail Transit (LRT) project (METRO Green Line Extension) will operate on a route from downtown Minneapolis through the communities of St. Louis Park, Hopkins, Minnetonka and Eden Prairie, passing in close proximity to Edina. The 14.5 mile line will include 16 new stations and will be part of an integrated system of transitways, including connections to the METRO Blue Line, the Northstar Commuter Rail line, many bus routes and proposed future transitways. The total estimated project cost of $1.858 billion will be funded by the Metropol- itan Council and project partners through a mix of federal, state and local sources, with federal funds making up approximately half the total. At Target Field Station in Minneapolis, Green Line Extension trains will continue along the METRO Green Line, providing on-seat rides to the University of Minnesota, State Capitol area and downtown St. Paul. The Southwest LRT line is anticipated to begin construction in 2019. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan135 FIGURE 6.12 | Blue Line Extension Bottineau LRT Line (Blue Line Extension) An approximately 13-mile route will serve downtown Minneapolis, north Minneapolis, Golden Valley, Robbinsdale, Crystal and Brooklyn Park. Eleven new stations will be built, in addition to Target Field Station. The total project cost is estimated at $1.536 billion, funded by a combination of federal, state and local sources. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2020. Commuter Rail Commuter rail is a passenger train service that connects an urban region over moderate distances; which typically operates on ex- isting freight tracks; and whose primary clientele travels between home and work. These trip-to-work services usually offer concentrated frequencies primarily during rush hour with suburban station spacing typically every five miles. Com- muter rail typically serves longer trips than most light and heavy rail transit lines. Commuter rail trains are normally made up of a locomo- tive and several passenger coaches. Commuter rail vehicles have an on-board operator, who adjusts vehicle speed in response to traffic conditions and railway signaling requirements. MAPLE GROVE BNSF CORR IDOR OLSON MEM.

The Northstar Commuter Rail line opened in 2009. The Northstar Expansion proposes to extend service to St. Cloud. Regular weekday service is designed for commuters and is available during the morning and afternoon peak-travel periods. The morning commute period features five inbound trains and one outbound train; the late-afternoon and early-evening commute features five outbound trains and one inbound train. There are three roundtrips each week- end day with special event service available throughout the year. Metro Transit schedules additional trips to provide Northstar service to all Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Vikings games and other large downtown events. The city supports the continuing investigation of commuter rail as a transportation alternative for the community, the region and the state. The Twin Cities & Western Line, which runs through the heart of Chanhassen, is a possi- ble route. The city has advised the Metropolitan Council that any commuter rail station located within Chanhassen would need to be located between Market Boulevard and Great Plains Boulevard in downtown Chanhassen. The downtown location meets the standards of the transit-oriented development (TOD). The core area of the TOD is a relatively dense mixed-use development and constitutes from one-tenth to one-half the total TOD area. The main characteristics include: »Residential (20 to 30 percent of the TOD area), »Employment uses (20 to 30 percent of the TOD area), and »Civic uses (about 10 percent of the TOD area). In 1997, the Minnesota Legislature instructed the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to conduct a feasibility study to determine if the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area could support commuter rail service. Out of 19 rail corridors studied, six proved to be feasible of supporting commuter rail. Those six lines were divided into two tiers. Tier I included the Northstar Corridor between Minneapolis and St. Cloud, the Red Rock Corridor between Minneapolis and Hastings and the Dan Patch Corridor between Minneapolis and Lakeville. Tier II included the Bethel Corridor, the Rush Line Corridor and the Norwood-Young America Corridor. The city supports the classifi- cation of the Norwood-Young America Corridor as a Tier II commuter rail corridor. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan137 In January 1999, MnDOT presented the results of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Commuter Rail Feasibility Study to the Minnesota Legislature. After hearing those results the legislature passed M.S. 174.80 to 174.90 which gave the Commissioner of MnDOT the authority to plan, design, construct and operate commuter rail in the State of Minne- sota. Further, the Commissioner was charged with the responsibility of developing a commuter rail system plan that would ensure that, if built, commuter rail would be part of an integrated transportation system that would interface with all other forms of transportation including LRT, buses, park and ride, bicycles and pedestrians. In developing the Commuter Rail System Plan, MnDOT has built on the results from the Twin Cities Metropolitan Commuter Rail Feasibility Study and in particular the implementation strategy presented in the final report. FIGURE 6.14 | Commuter Rail System Travel Demand Management Travel Demand Management (TDM) programs will also provide an opportunity to reduce travel demand on the regional highway system. The employment concentrations anticipated for the area, particularly in the office complexes, provide the city with a tremendous opportunity to implement TDM programs. As part of its standard approval process, the city will work with new employers locating in the study area to ensure that employers will: »promote carpooling by providing information on carpooling and vanpooling to employees on a regular basis, providing preferential parking and guaranteed-ride home; »encourage employees to participate in Minnesota Rideshare’s ride-matching program; »Rail Corridors offer employees flexible work hours and set a goal to reduce peak hour trips by 10 percent; and »participate in a Travel Demand Management Organization specifically set up for major employers. This group will consider TDM measures that require cooperation among several employers such as, but not limited to: »staggered start times »van-pools »trip reduction goals »transit subsidies City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan138 In addition, every employer, regardless of size, will be required to provide a convenient carpool/vanpool drop-off site that does not interfere with other traffic. This drop-off site will be consistent with applicable Americans with Disability Act requirements. The city may allow a group of employers to provide a shared drop-off site as long as the site is accessible to all participating employers. It will be the goal of the city to reduce peak hour trip generation to and from the study area by 10 percent through the use of a combination of transit service and TDM programs. The city supports investigation of TDM strategies to reduce trip levels on area roads. The city will be advocating the development of a multi-community, multi-county partnership with the business community to promote these strategies. Airports There are no existing or planned airports within the City of Chanhassen. Commercial air service is available at Twin Cities International Airport and general aviation is available at Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie. Flying Cloud Airport is approximately 4 miles east of the City of Chanhassen. A small portion of the City, located in the southeast portion of the city, is within the Flying Cloud Airport (FCM) Air Space Zone height limits. The FCM Airspace zoning limits are located around Lake Riley and are not within a land use limitation district but are restricted by height. This area is guided low, medium density and is mostly developed, except for the area of the old mining site along County Road 61. The mining site is guided for high density. Munici- pal services are not available is this area, but it is anticipated that they will be when TH 101 is reconstructed. Despite the lack of airports in Chanhassen, the city has two primary aviation concerns: first - physical obstructions are controlled, and second - seaplane operations. At the present, the tallest manmade structures within Chanhassen are the city’s water towers, which average 135 feet. Structures under 200 feet are not considered obstructions under state rules. Radio towers are the only potential structures that may exceed the 200 foot threshold. If proposals for towers occur, the city will require that they comply with all State, Federal and local requirements. The highest structures permitted in the city are cell towers. They limited in height to 200 feet in the city code. The Code further states: The applicant is responsible for receiving approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and any appropriate state review authority, stating that the proposed tower complies with regulations administered by that agency or that the tower is exempt from those regulations.” Lakes Minnewashta and Riley are used by seaplanes. To date, there have been few conflicts between boat traffic and seaplane usage. Contin- ued usage in these areas is not viewed as a major issue due to the small number of aircraft and off peak hour operation by their owners. If in the future the numbers of aircraft increases or the potential for serious usage conflicts occurs, the city may work with the State and regional authorities to limit or ban seaplane usage. Pursuant to Minnesota Administrative Rules 8800.2800, planes may land on any lake that is frozen. Autonomous Vehicles An autonomous car (also known as a driverless car, auto, self-driving car, robotic car) and Unmanned Ground Vehicle is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input. Many such systems are evolving, but as of 2017 no cars permitted on public roads were fully autonomous. They all require a human at the wheel who must be ready to take control at any time. FIGURE 6.15 | Airspace Zones City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan139 Autonomous cars use a variety of techniques to detect their surroundings, such as radar, laser light, GPS, odometry and computer vision. Advanced control systems interpret sensory information to identify appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage. Autonomous cars must have control systems that are capable of analyzing sensory data to distinguish between different cars on the road. The potential benefits of autonomous cars include reduced mobility and infrastructure costs, increased safety, increased mobility, increased customer satisfaction and reduced crime. Specifically, it could lead to a significant reduction in traffic collisions, the resulting injuries and related costs, including less need for insurance. Autonomous cars are predicted to increase traffic flow, provide enhanced mobility for children, the elderly, disabled and the poor, relieve travelers from driving and navigation chores, lower fuel consumption, significantly reduce needs for parking space, reduce crime and facilitate business models for mobility as a service, especially via the sharing economy. Among the main obstacles to widespread adoption are technological challenges, disputes concerning liability, the time period needed to replace the existing stock of vehicles, resistance by individuals to forfeiting control, consumer safety concerns, implementation of a workable legal framework and establishment of government regulations, risk of loss of privacy and security concerns, such as hackers or terrorism, concerns about the resulting loss of driving-related jobs in the road transport industry and risk of increased suburbanization as travel becomes less costly and time-consuming. Many of these issues are due to the fact that autonomous objects, for the first time, allow computers to roam freely, with many related safety and security concerns. (Wikipedia September 19, 2017) As autonomous vehicle technology continues to evolve and gain acceptance and use, the city will follow and evaluate the potential of such vehicles and its implications to city regulations and design requirements. Trails and Sidewalks The sidewalk and trail system is discussed and mapped primarily as part of the recreation and trail chapter (chapter 5) in the Comprehensive Plan. The city desires to be pedestrian friendly. To accomplish this, the city must assure that city improvements and private developments provide pedestrian and bicycle linkages. An integral component of the transportation system is the pedestrian and bicycle sidewalks and trails. Trails also provide a health benefit to residents and visitors to the city. The city continues to plan for an extensive trail system throughout the community. These trails will provide linkages between individual neighborhoods as well as connecting these neighborhoods to the rest of the community. As new development is proposed and reviewed, the city will continue to require that these pedestrian linkages be included as part of the project. The city has established policies to require sidewalks and trails to provide access to schools, parks and other destination points as well as extending existing sidewalks and trails. The city continues to plan and implement interconnections with trails of regional and inter-local character. We collaborate with adjacent units of government, Carver and Hennepin Counties and the Minnesota Department of Transportation to provide a comprehensive and efficient pedestrian and bicycle network. We have implemented portions of the Regional Bicycle Transportation Network including on Highway 101 north and south of Highway 5, portions of Highway 41 and along West 78th Street, which parallels Highway 5. As new development is proposed and reviewed, the city will continue to require that these pedestrian linkages be included as part of the project. »Total Number of Trails: 95.3 miles »Total Number of Sidewalks: 32.1 miles 6.8 | Relationship of the Transportation Plan to the Metropolitan System In 2015, the Metropolitan Council issued a Systems Information Statement to the City of Chanhassen. The city was encouraged to address issues identified in the Statement and to ensure that planning in Chanhassen was consistent with the Metropolitan Council’s newly revised Transportation Policy Plan. This section is intended to identify how the revisions to the city’s Transportation Plan support the Metropolitan Council’s Plan. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan140 As the region continues to grow, utilization of the metropolitan highway system is expected to increase. In some cases, these facilities will become congested. Due to the regional function that these facilities perform, many of the factors affecting segments that are in the City of Chanhassen are beyond the city’s control. Nevertheless, the city supports the desire to resolve transportation issues by coordinating its own efforts with those of adjacent communities, Carver County, MnDOT and the Metropolitan Council. To this effect, the city has undertaken a comprehensive approach for dealing with these transportation issues. This approach considers the following methods for dealing with current and future problems: (1) an updated roadway plan, (2) support of regional programs and activities; and (3) initiation of a TDM program. The city’s approach to each of these is described below: 1.The city has adopted a Transportation Plan that recognizes the need to support the metropolitan highway system. The major elements of the new plan are: »An arterial and collector system spaced in accordance with Metropolitan Council guidelines contained in the Transportation Policy Plan. »An arterial system that provides both east-west and north-south continuity between the City of Chanhassen and adjacent communities, thus providing alternatives to the metropolitan system for medium- and long-distance inter-community trips. »Arterial and collector roadways that are parallel to the metropolitan system, thus providing alternate routes for short and medium length trips and eliminate them from the metropolitan system. 2.The City of Chanhassen supports Metropolitan Council and MnDOT plans to improve the metropolitan transportation system in the following areas: »The city will coordinate site-specific installations with MnDOT in order to develop geometric designs at access streets that will accommodate the resulting queues and reduce the traffic impacts on the local street system. »The city supports the efforts of MnDOT to construct a new Minnesota River Crossing. 6.9 | Plan Implementation Previous sections have examined future travel demand, have suggested guidelines for developing a Transportation Plan, and have recommended a Plan that is responsive to these considerations. This section concentrates on examin- ing the steps necessary to implement the Transportation Plan. It discusses a general strategy for moving from 2017 to the future in accomplishing the plan. Transportation Plan Adoption By adopting the Transportation Plan, the City Council will establish the guidelines by which decisions regarding transportation facilities will be made in Chanhassen. It should be revised as necessary to respond to changing condi- tions and needs. The city should periodically review the assumptions under which the plan was developed, including estimates of future development, population trends, changing financial resources, energy considerations, and citizen and governmental input, and update the plan accordingly. The plan should be circulated widely so that residents and the business community are aware of the opportunities and limitations that the plan provides, thus enabling all interested parties to plan with full knowledge. Jurisdictional Realignment Process In general, it is good policy that Carver County and the State (MnDOT) assume responsibility for the arterial sys- tem, and that the city assume responsibility for the collector and local street systems. This is, to a large extent, the situation in Chanhassen. Currently, Carver County has not accepted the turnback of TH 101 south of CSAH 18. Other roadways that are under consideration for jurisdiction change include: City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan141 »County Road 117 (Galpin Boulevard) from TH 5 to the north city limit (turnback from county to city). This roadway is designated as a local collector street and does not function to serve regional or inter-county type traffic. However, this roadway meets a rural design standard and should be upgraded to an urban design with capacity improvements prior to the city accepting jurisdiction. »TH 5 and TH 41 – The TSP developed by MnDOT indicated that all non-principal arterial routes in the metropolitan area should be con- sidered for turnback. This included both TH 5 and TH 41. These routes currently play a critical role in the region. A jurisdictional change should not be considered unless a new river crossing is made linking U.S. Highway 212 and U.S. Highway 169. Access Management The City of Chanhassen, through its ordinances, has authority to approve developments contiguous to city streets. As part of this process, the city will work with MnDOT and Carver County on managing access to all arterial and important collector routes within the city. Access management will help maintain mobility and provide increased safety for route users. Access guidelines will be developed as part of the Carver County Transportation Plan. The city will assist in this process by carefully considering any parcel splits along arterial corridors, promoting frontage roadways to serve developments rather than direct access. In addition, the city will make available any access guidelines to developers so that they are aware of limitations prior to beginning preliminary platting of property. Establish Improvement Programs An overall strategy of improvement, tempered by fiscal constraints, begins with an analysis of key intersection capacity improvement projects, safety improvements and the protection of access by establishing strict standards and by designating necessary right-of-way. Identifying future needs for facility rights-of-way followed by timely “set-aside” programs will, in the long run, save the community much in the way of financial resources. Roadway improvements should also be geared toward providing for transit needs, particularly in the area of meeting turning radii, traffic signals and adequate roadway structure. It should be pointed out that non-motorized travel needs must also be carefully considered. Chanhassen will continue its policy of designating sufficient right-of-way to provide for sidewalk and bikeway needs. 6.10 | Sources of Funding Roadways under city jurisdiction are maintained, preserved, constructed and re-constructed by the city’s Department of Public Works. Rehabilitation and reconstruction projects are typically performed by a contractor under supervision of the city’s Engineering Department. Funding for these activities, including the administrative costs of operating the department, are obtained from a variety of sources including ad valorem taxes, special assessments, development fees, Municipal State Aid, state and federal project funding and tax increment financing. A major concern of the city is the availability of sufficient funds for maintenance and construction activities. If funds are unavailable, needed projects may be delayed or terminated and maintenance of existing facilities may fall short of acceptable standards. The following discussion explains the existing sources of funding and potential new sources of revenue. State Aid An extremely important source of revenue to the city is state-aid. A network of city streets called Municipal State-Aid Streets is eligible for funding assistance with revenue from the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund. This fund acts as a distribution or tax clearance fund, and tax income received into the fund is transferred to various transportation related funds for expenditure. The fund receives revenue from two principal sources: 1) gasoline taxes, and 2) vehicle registration taxes. These two sources are permanently dedicated to this fund. Ninety-five percent of the net proceeds of the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund are distributed annually according to a constitutionally mandated formula: 62 percent to the Trunk Highway Fund, 29 percent to the County State-Aid Highway Fund, and 9 percent to the Municipal State-Aid Street Fund. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan142 Assessments Property that benefits from a roadway scheduled for improvement may be assessed for a portion of the cost of construction. In order to assess a property owner, it must be demonstrated that the property will benefit from the improvement. For this reason, it is a limited source of revenue. It is also limited by the almost certain requirement that the property must have access to the roadway. Since 1989, the city has generally been following the following assessment practices. This assessment practice is intended to provide direction to city staff in preparation of assessment rolls to ensure fair and consistent treatment of all properties within the City of Chanhassen. Maintenance (Pothole filling, patching, crack sealing seal coat.) Maintenance costs are not assessed to abutting property owners. Maintenance is financed through the city’s Annual Budget process. Rehabilitation (Repair of problem areas to full depth, milling of edge or full width of existing pavement, repair to existing catch basins and/or curb and gutter, pavement overlay.) Total Project Cost = 60% paid by city + 40% assessed to abutting (city share may be MSA, General property owners TIF, Federal or State grants, etc.) Residential properties abutting collector or commercial streets shall be assessed using the same formula; however, the assessments shall be reduced to be equivalent to a typical 31-foot residential street section. Reconstruction Removal of existing street and construction of new street. May include sanitary sewer or water main and stormwater improvements. May recycle the existing asphalt as gravel base. Reconstruction cost are assessed using the same formula as Rehabilitation. New Construction Construction of new streets or utilities or a significant upgrade from the previous facilities, e.g., a 4-lane street replaces and existing 2-lane. New construction will be assessed 100% to the benefiting properties. Note: If a feature (sanitary sewer, water curb and gutter, etc.) that did not previously exist is added during a rehabilitation or reconstruction project, that cost of that item is treated as new construction with the remaining project costs being treated as rehabilitation or reconstruction. Work done by city crews may be maintenance, rehabilitation or new construction. This work is not typicall assessed. Exceptions would include work associated with an assessment agreement signed by the property owner and approved by City Council and work specifically authorized by the City Council to be done by city crews and assessed to the abutting properties. Ad Valorem Taxes If 20 percent of the cost of a city project can be assessed to the adjacent property owners, the remaining cost of the project can be added to the ad valorem or property taxes of the remaining property owners in the city. Ad valorem taxes for street improvements are excluded from the state mandated levy limits. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan143 Property Tax Funding The seven metropolitan counties – through their regional railroad authorities – are authorized by State Statute to impose levies on real estate of up to a maximum of 0.04835% of market valuation to pay for capital and/or operating costs of passenger rail service. Tax Increment Financing Establishing a tax increment financing (TIF) district is a method of funding infrastructure improvements that are needed immediately using the additional tax revenue to be generated in future years by a specific development. Municipal bonds are issued against this future revenue which is dedicated for a period of years to the repayment of the bonds or to other improvements within the TIF project area. When used appropriately, a TIF can accelerate economic development in an area by insuring that the needed infrastructure is in place without requiring support from the usual funding. This method of financing has already been used successfully in the City of Chanhassen and is expected to be used again in selected areas in the future. Potential Source of Revenue Revenues available from current sources of funding are not always sufficient to meet highway maintenance and construction needs. In order to reduce the potential shortfall of revenue, other sources of funding need to be considered. Franchise Fee – Every city has a franchise agreement with each utility company (gas, electric, etc.) for their use/rent of city owned right-of-way for their business purposes. »Right-of-way is city property devoted for roadway purposes but is also used for utilities, trails and sidewalks and snow storage. »By law, cities may charge utilities a fee for use of city right-of-way. Utility providers will likely pass this fee onto their customers. The franchise fees could be set aside in a dedicated fund to be used solely for expenditures related to pavement management program projects such as street overlays and reconstruction, and trail improvement projects. Impact Fees – Impact fees are assessed to individual developers as property is improved. An attempt is made to deter- mine what impact the additional traffic will have on roadways both near the development and away from it. The cost associated with improving the roadway system sufficiently to handle the additional traffic is assessed to the developer. Road Access Charge – Impact fees are assessed after an attempt is made to determine the specific impacts of a specific development. A road access charge would be assessed all new development based on the trip generation rate of the new development but without documenting specific impacts. Revenues from this funding source would be used to construct or improve arterial and collector streets in the jurisdiction collecting the tax. New legislation would be required for this type of funding mechanism to be implemented. Cities are in a position to assess these fees because of their zoning and development authority. Transportation Utility Billing – Under the concept of a municipal transportation utility, all properties would be subject to a periodic fee (i.e., monthly, quarterly), based upon the number of vehicle-trips generated by the type of property. This revenue would then be used for transportation improvements that produce community-wide benefits including the reconstruction of existing roads and preventive maintenance to reduce deterioration. Such a fund would be es- pecially useful for the maintenance of collector streets which are under the city’s jurisdiction, particularly when it is difficult to show enough direct benefit to adjacent property owners to be able to charge an assessment. The periodic nature of the utility billing would also provide a stable source of income to support a regular maintenance program for the entire street system. Such a utility would be administered by individual cities, with each city deciding on their own fee structure. At the present time, this sort of revenue source is not permitted by the state, but efforts are underway to persuade the State Legislature to pass legislation allowing the cities to obtain revenue in this way. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan144 Wheelage Tax – Any city (Minnesota Statutes Section 426.05) or metropolitan county board of commissioners (Minnesota Statutes Section 163.051) may impose an annual wheelage tax upon motor vehicles using the public streets or highways. Carver County currently imposes a wheelage tax for roadway improvements in the County. Local Planning Policies Chanhassen has different policies pertaining to construction standards for urban versus rural local streets. Urban road- ways are required to dedicate 60 feet of right of way for local streets and 31-foot wide pavement width. Rural roadways are also required to have a bituminous surfacing 24 feet wide contained within a 60 foot right of way. Right-of-way widths may be reduced to 50 feet if there is extenuating environmental or physical constraints on a property. Current city policy also allows the construction of private streets. Up to four single-family residences may be served via a private street if it is demonstrated to be unfeasible or unnecessary to construct a public street. In such cases, 30 feet of easement is required with the roadway consisting of a 20-foot wide paved surface. Multi-family private streets require 24 feet of paved surface in a 40-foot easement. Commercial, industrial, and office development may be served by 26-foot wide paved private streets within a 40-foot wide access easement. 6.11 | Pavement Management Historically, the emphasis for growing communities has been building roads and implementing preventive main- tenance due to the relatively new network system. But as street networks age, the new focus is on maintaining and preserving existing pavement surfaces. A pavement management program is a systematic approach to using a series of pavement treatment options over time. One treatment at the right time will improve the quality of the pavement surface and extend the pavement life, but the true benefits of the pavement management program are realized when there is a consistent schedule. An effective pavement management program integrates many preventive maintenance strategies, rehabilitation and reconstruction treatments. The goal of such a program is to extend pavement life and enhance system-wide perfor- mance in a cost-effective and efficient way. Studies show that preventative maintenance is six to ten times more cost effective than a minimal maintenance program with only some rehabilitation and reconstruction maintenance strategies used. The City of Chanhassen recognizes that the street infrastructure is an asset to the community that needs to be maintained. In 2004, the city began a pavement management program to identify long-term needs of the city street network. The objective of the program is to have a long-term pavement management plan that can realistically be funded and does not have significant peaks and valleys in the annual budgets. Also, the program will help identi- fy projects long term that will give residents some idea when their street will be proposed for improvements. The program is structured to propose projects when projects are warranted and to have a consistent methodology for proposing street improvement projects. Over the past years, staff has used this information to ascertain which streets require improvements and what type of improvement is required. There are three main types of pavement treatment options: 1.Preventive Maintenance: This item includes filling potholes, patching, crack sealing and seal coating. 2.Rehabilitation:Performed to correct deficiencies that occur in pavements such as extensive cracking and potholing. This type of maintenance includes mill and overlays. 3.Reconstruction: This item is performed when corrective maintenance is no longer appropriate. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan145 Studies conducted by a number of agencies indicate that as pavement conditions decrease, the cost for the appropriate improvements significantly increases. A typical graph of a pavement degradation curve taken from the American Public Works Association is shown above. This graph shows that it is more cost effective to have pavement repaired with preventative maintenance than it is to wait until the pavement needs reconstruction. FIGURE 6.16 | Pavement Degradation Curve Bridges Bridges meeting the State of Minnesota definition are inspected according to the National Bridge Inspection Standard and are typically inspected every one to two years depending on their condition. Capital Improvements Capital improvements will be included in the implementation chapter. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan146 City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan147 Chapter 7Sewer City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan148 7.1 | Executive Summary The City of Chanhassen’s Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer System Plan (plan) is intended to be an update to the city’s previous Comprehensive Sewer Plan dated 2008 and to assist the City of Chanhassen in meeting its short-term and long-term sanitary sewer needs. The plan is also intended to serve as an inventory of the city’s existing sanitary sewer facilities and an updated guide for completing the future sanitary sewer trunk system improvements. The city is divided into eight major sanitary sewer service areas or districts as shown in Figure 3.2 in Appendix A. For the purpose of sanitary sewer planning, these major districts are further divided into sub-districts based on both lift station and gravity sewer service areas as shown in Figure 3.3 in Appendix A. Each sub-district contributes wastewater flow to the sanitary sewer collection system dependent upon a variety of parameters. These parameters include but are not limited to land use, population density, wastewater generation rates, development restrictions, wetlands and dedicated green space. Approximate future trunk facility locations were determined based on the topography of undeveloped areas. An objective to planning the trunk sanitary sewer system is to minimize the number of trunk lift stations, while keeping the maximum depth of gravity sewers to realistic depths. The existing and proposed system layout is also shown on Figure 3.4 in Appendix A. The system layout is general in nature and exact pipe alignments and lift station locations will be deter-mined by the actual conditions at the time of final design. It is important that the general overall concept and sizing plan is utilized to assure an economical and adequate future system. A 22-year capital improvement plan (CIP) was developed for the completion of the trunk system. These trunk fa- cilities include all gravity sewer mains for each sub-district, lift stations and force mains. The CIP includes costs for each trunk improvement project; however, the approximate trunk costs do not include the cost of installing lateral sewers for development. The cost for lateral improvements would be funded directly through assessments to the development or redevelopment. The following table summarizes the proposed 22-year CIP and associated costs: 7 | Sewer City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan149 FIGURE 7.1 | Capital Improvement Plan Summary Improvement Description Extended Cost 2018 Inflow and Infiltration Abatement $200,000 Sanitary Sewer Replacement $150,000 Lift Station #18,26 $90,000 Subtotal $440,000 2019 Inflow and Infiltration Abatement $200,000 2010 MUSA Lift Station $1,900,000 Sanitary Sewer Replacement $50,000 Lift Station #16 $45,000 Subtotal $2,195,000 2020 Inflow and Infiltration Abatement $200,000 Sanitary Sewer Replacement $250,000 Lift Station #22 $55,000 Subtotal $505,000 2021 Inflow and Infiltration Abatement $200,000 Sanitary Sewer Replacement $50,000 Lift Station #2,17 $90,000 Subtotal $340,000 2022 Lower Bluff Creek Trunk Sanitary Sewer $14,720,200 Inflow and Infiltration Abatement $200,000 Sanitary Sewer Replacement $250,000 Lift Station #13 $45,000 Subtotal $15,215,200 2023 Inflow and Infiltration Abatement $200,000 Sanitary Sewer Replacement $50,000 Lift Station #1,20 $120,000 Subtotal $370,000 2024 Inflow and Infiltration Abatement $200,000 Sanitary Sewer Replacement $150,000 Lift Station #7 $50,000 Subtotal $400,000 2025 -2030 2026-2030 Sanitary Sewer I/I Rehabilitation $1,000,000 2026-2030 Sanitary Sewer Reconstruction Program $850,000 Lift Station No. Improvements $455,000 Subtotal $2,305,000 2031 -2035 2031-2035 Sanitary Sewer I/I Rehabilitation $1,000,000 2031-2035 Sanitary Reconstruction Program $650,000 Lift Station No. Improvements $330,000 Subtotal $1,980,000 2036 -2040 2036-2040 Sanitary Sewer I/I Rehabilitation $1,000,000 2036-2040 Sanitary Reconstruction Program $850,000 Lift Station No. Improvements $800,000 Subtotal $2,650,000 Total Capital Improvements Plan Costs $26,400,200 »Costs are for budgeting purposes only, and are subject to change as projects are studied, designed and constructed. »Project Costs include 10% for construction contingency and 25% indirect costs where applicable. »Costs are estimated based on 2017 construction costs. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan150 7.2 | Introduction Purpose The purpose of this study is to provide the city with an updated plan to serve future development and to identify existing system facilities and deficiencies. Scope The scope of this study includes population and sanitary sewer flow projections for the City of Chanhassen through the year 2040. The potential 2040 service area was defined as areas that can be feasibly served by sanitary sewer in the future and was based on the current land use plan prepared for the city’s comprehensive plan. The 2040 ser- vice area for the city is considered to be the full build-out of the current city limits. Based on the 2040 service area, sanitary sewer districts and sub-districts were defined. Existing and future sanitary sewer flow rates were calculated for each sub-district based on the respective land uses. Projected sanitary sewer flow rates were used to analyze the existing trunk system capacity and size future trunk system facilities. Future trunk improvements were defined with the intention that the trunk system would serve the 2040 service area. An approximate layout of potential trunk system improvements along with an opinion of probable cost is provided. Future improvements were prioritized and incorporated into a capital improvement program (CIP) based on an approximate phasing plan provided by the city staff. Data Available In preparing this report, the following sources of information were utilized: »Existing Sanitary Sewer GIS Information »Sanitary Sewer As-builts »City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan, dated November 2008, prepared by WSB & Associates »City of Chanhassen Infiltration and Inflow Reduction Plan, dated June 12, 2006, prepared by WSB & Associates »County Road 61 Corridor Plan, dated December 2, 2014, prepared by SRF Group in association with Hoisington Koegler Group »2040 Thrive MSP Water Resources Policy Plan Existing City Sanitary Sewer System Overall Sanitary Sewer Service Area Typically, sanitary sewer systems consist of two elements: collection and treatment. Collection systems include sewer services, trunk sewer pipes, manholes, lift stations and forcemains which collect the sewer flows from private resident, commercial and industrial properties within a city. There are various locations throughout the city where Chanhassen’s collection system connects to another city’s system. These interconnections are addressed through service agreements. No such agreements have been entered into since 2008. Treatment systems include the biologi- cal or chemical treatment in order to remove targeted contaminants from the wastewater. The City of Chanhassen’s existing sanitary sewer system is a collection system only. The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) provides treatment for Chanhassen’s entire sanitary sewer flows. MCES is also re- sponsible for major trunk facilities conveying wastewater across city boundaries to regional treatment facilities. All wastewater flows from the City of Chanhassen enter the MCES interceptor system and is conveyed to the MCES Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located in the City of Shakopee, just north of Highway 101. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan151 The sanitary sewer service area is defined as the area from which wastewater flows are collected by the city’s regional system. The existing serviced area within the City of Chanhassen is comprised of approximately 10,600 gross acres which includes the lakes, open park land and road right-of-ways. This service area is shown in Figure 3.2. (Appendix A). Sanitary sewer service districts were developed within the city boundaries based on gravity service and lift station service areas. The existing serviced area has been developed within several districts, many of which are not fully developed. Gravity Sanitary Sewer The City of Chanhassen gravity sanitary sewer system consists of 6- to 36-inch diameter vitrified clay pipe (VCP), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), ductile iron pipe (DIP) and polyvinyl chlo- ride (PVC) plastic sewer pipe. The original sanitary sewer system for the area southwest of Lotus Lake was con- structed in the 1950s and consisted of two lift stations. Following the initial construction, a majority of the system was constructed in the 1970s. The existing gravity sanitary sewer system appears to be in good overall condition; however, limited televising inspections have found root penetrations at joints, cracked pipe, leaking manholes and castings, as well as mineral deposits. In recent years, the City of Chanhassen has been identified as having excessive infiltration and inflow (I/I) by MCES. The city is currently included on the MCES “List of Communities with Observed Excess I/I, June 30, 2006.” The city was also assessed a surcharge by MCES according to the adopted MCES 2007 Surcharge Policy. The City of Chanhassen developed an Infiltration and Inflow Reduction Plan dated June 12, 2006 which identified a number of gravity sanitary sewer improvements to reduce the amount of I/I entering the city’s system. The gravity sanitary sewers are directed to several MCES interceptors described in Section 4 that convey wastewa- ter to the Blue Lake WWTP. The existing gravity sanitary sewer trunk mains (8-inch diameter and larger) and the MCES interceptor are shown on Figure 3.0. (Appendix A) Lift Stations The City of Chanhassen sanitary sewer system consists of 31 lift stations ranging from a small 16 gallons per minute (gpm) grinder station to a large 1,448 gpm lift station. The lift station capacities vary depending on size of service area.

Existing system as-built information was used to develop the model and determine system capacity. Average day and peak flows were calculated by determining the existing developed area in each district, area of each existing land use, number of existing units and assuming a flow generat- ed for each land use. The model was calibrated by reducing the flow generated for each land use until the total system flow matched sewer flows metered by MCES. The existing system model includes the following parameters: »Existing sewer mains – 10-inch diameter and larger »Existing trunk lift stations »Existing trunk main flows (MCES) Figure 7.3 illustrates the remaining pipe capacity resulting from the 2006 analysis trunk mains. Modeling results in- dicated two sections (of 23 sections) of the 36-inch trunk main parallel to the MCES interceptor flowing east along the north side of Lake Susan near Highway 101 exceeded capacity as shown on Figure 7.3. The model indicated a slight surcharge at the manholes in the two sections where existing flows exceeded capacity; however, the capacity of the overall trunk system is adequate. The MCES Lake Ann interceptor exhibited a few sections exceeding capacity; however, MCES is responsible for monitoring flows and determining deficiencies for this main. Figure 7.3 shows all trunk lift stations (with influence lines greater than 10-inches diameter) with the exception of Lift Station No. 7 exhibit adequate capacity. The figure below shows existing lift station pump capacity and existing peak inflow information. FIGURE 7.3 | Existing Trunk Lift Station Analysis On-site Disposal Systems There are several areas within the City of Chanhassen that are currently on septic systems. Some of these areas are developed with one or two acre lots that could be developed or subdivided with sanitary sewer service.

The remaining existing septic systems are scattered throughout the remainder of the city in areas with larger lots. There are currently 378 Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems (SSTS) in the community with 370 serving residential and eight serving commercial/industrial uses. Chapter 19, Article IV of the Chanhassen City Code addresses SSTS, which provides regulation for the design and maintenance of SSTS. The city adopts by reference and incorporates Carver County’s “Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems Purpose, Intent, and Authority” subject to the amendments set forth in our code. These regulations implement and enforce MPCA 7080 standards. Link to Chapter 19 Article IV of the Chanhassen City Code is: https://library.municode.com/mn/chanhassen/codes/ code_of_ordinances?nodeId=CICO_CH19WASESEDI_ARTIVSUSETRSY SSTS are required to be pumped every three years. A compliance report must be completed upon the sale of a home that is served by SSTS, unless one has been completed within the last three years. MCES SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM The majority of the wastewater generated from the City of Chanhassen is conveyed to one of two MCES interceptor sewers, identified as the Shorewood Interceptor (7017) and the Lake Ann Interceptor (7138). Shorewood Interceptor The Shorewood Interceptor is a combination forcemain and gravity sewer interceptor, which begins at the MCES L21 Lift Station near Lake Virginia and flows eastward through Shorewood, Excelsior, Greenwood and Tonka Bay. There are four extensions of the Shorewood Interceptor, which extend southward to the north boundary of Chanhassen (information obtained from the 2006 Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan). »Shorewood interceptor extension 7017-1 is a 15-inch diameter RCP gravity flow sewer extending northeasterly from the Chanhassen boundary at Washta Bay Road along Pleasant Avenue to the northwest side of Mary Lake in Shorewood to the major interceptor. »Shorewood interceptor extension 7017-2 is a 9-inch diameter PVC forcemain that extends from the Chanhassen boundary at Chaska Road to the west shore of Galpin Lake in Shorewood to the major interceptor. »Shorewood interceptor extension 7017-3 is a combined gravity and forcemain facility that flows north from the Chanhassen boundary along Christmas Lake Road through a 15-inch diameter RCP to a lift station, then through a 9-inch diameter PVC pipe and an 8-inch diameter DIP to the major interceptor. »Shorewood interceptor extension 7017-4 is a 12-inch diameter RCP gravity flow sewer extends between Christmas Lake and Silver Lake from the Chanhassen boundary to the Shorewood Interceptor. Wastewater generated from the northern area, the area on the north side of Lake Lucy, and the area around the north and west sides of the Lake Minnewashta area flow north to the Shorewood Interceptor and is ultimately treated at the Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Facility in Shakopee. Lake Ann Interceptor The Lake Ann Interceptor (7138) is an MCES sewer that serves Chanhassen in the Bluff Creek, Rice Marsh Lake, Lake Susan, Lake Ann, Lotus Lake, Lake Lucy and Lake Riley vicinity. The Lake Ann Interceptor sewer system was constructed in three phases and was completed in 1988. The interceptor extends southeast, beginning at Trunk Highway 41 near the north City limits and approximately 4.5 miles to the Red Rock Interceptor at the Chanhassen/ Eden Prairie border. The city’s Lake Ann trunk sewer is parallel to the MCES trunk sewer between the Red Rock Interceptor and Highway 5. The Red Rock Interceptor starts at the termination of the Lake Ann Interceptor and continues southeasterly through Eden Prairie where it discharges into the Purgatory Creek Interceptor and eventually to the Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Facility in Shakopee.

This plan was developed by the city and separates the planning area into eleven (11) different land use categories. Land use is a critical factor in determining future sanitary sewers alignments and sizes due to the fact that different land uses generate different wastewater flow rates. The following table presents the current city land use breakdown and the associated abbreviations: FIGURE 7.4 | Land Use Summary Existing Developed and Developable Areas The area within the City of Chanhassen’s planning area is approximately 21 square miles or 13,700 acres. The exist- ing area within Chanhassen with sewer service is approximately 16.6 square miles or 10,600 gross acres. For sewer planning purposes, land that is not served by sanitary sewer is considered not developed and not all of this acreage is considered developable. Undevelopable land use categories include open space and water. Existing developed and undevelopable areas were subtracted to obtain developable acreage. Developable acres are shown on Figure 3.1, (Appendix A) along with the existing sewer service area. This is identified as “Gross” Devel- opable Acreage because it includes roads and common or public/park areas potentially included in developments. Roads, common areas and parks typically consume 25% to 30% of the gross area within a development. GROWTH PROJECTIONS Projected Residential Growth Historical growth data for the study area from the Minnesota State Demographer’s office is included on Figure 7.5. The City of Chanhassen exhibited stable growth between 1900 and 1960; however, it grew exponentially between 1960 and 2000 with approximately 73% growth between 1990 and 2000. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan156 FIGURE 7.5 | Historical Census Data Figure 7.6 below shows the assumed residential population growth and sewered population through the year 2040 from the 2040 Thrive MSP Water Resources Policy Plan. Based on the data provided below, there would be an approximately 16% to 19% growth in population every 10 years. It is assumed that as development occurs, sanitary sewer service will be extended to the new development. Sanitary sewer service will also be extended to current large lot developments based on need such as failing septic systems. Sanitary sewer service would only be extended to new developments and existing large lot developments that have been incorporated into the MUSA area.

These properties are included in the sewered household category. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan157 Projected Non-Residential Growth Non-residential customers are located in the following land use areas: Commercial, Office, Office/Industrial, Industrial, Mixed Use, Parks/Open Land and Public/Semi Public. Tracking the exact acreage developed each year for the preceding land uses is difficult; however, it is possible to track the number of total non-residential connections based on water use records. Typically, the above land use categories are grouped into two water use types, commercial and industrial. Since it is not possible to relate land use categories to water use records, the previously listed land use categories have been grouped together as non-residential for determining growth rates. To project future non-residential growth, some trends over the past few years can be analyzed. Figure 7.7 illustrates the growth in non-residential water connections over the past ten years, and the percentage of non-residential connections relative to residential connections for the City of Chanhassen water system.

The ratio has averaged 4.05% over the last five years. Based on a ratio of non-residential to residential connections of 4.05%, Fig- ure 7.8 was developed to project future non-residential connection growth in a similar fashion to Figure 7.6 projecting future population. Existing Wastewater Flows Future sanitary sewer flows, in conjunction with available slope, govern the capacity of sanitary sewers. To deter- mine future sanitary flows, existing water demand and MCES recommendations were considered. MCES typically estimates 274 gpd/connection or 75 gallons per capita per day (gpcd) for residential estimates and 800 gallons per acre per day (gpad) for non-residential developments. Total existing city wastewater flows are not measured for individual users; the total flows are only measured by MCES at the city flow meter for the entire City of Chanhassen. Wastewater flows are therefore not categorized by land use type. However, the City of Chanhassen does collect water demand data. Water demand data by customer type for 2010-2016 is shown below in Figure 7.9. The actual annual wastewater generated is also shown in the fol- lowing table, along with the percent of wastewater generated per actual gallons of water used. From the information provided, the wastewater generated during the years 2010 to 2016 ranged from 58% to 83% of the actual water usage.

The industry standard design for water consumption is 100 gallons per person per day and for sewer it’s 75 gallons per person per day which accounts for losses occurring largely due to lawn watering; therefore for communities that do not have excessive I/I, the average wastewater flow is approximately 75% of the water demand. Figure 7.10 sum-marizes the wastewater to water consumption since 2000. As the City of Chanhassen continues to implement the I/I reduction plan, it is expected that the percent of wastewater flow to water demand will decrease and will become consistent with other communities that currently do not have excessive I/I.

Based on the residential water use from Figure 7.9 and the actual percentages of wastewater to water usage, Figure 7.12 indicates that the average Chanhassen residential wastewater flow is below 75 gpcd.

Assumes unsewered population is approximately 795. Non-Residential Flow Rates Non-residential wastewater generators consist of Commercial, Office, Office/Industrial, Industrial, Mixed Use and Public/Semi Public land uses. As discussed previously, it is not possible to separate land use areas based on water use records. Therefore, existing wastewater flows were developed based on the water usage records and allocating the remaining water demand flows to each non-residential acre. Water demand was used because it can be sepa- rated by non-residential and residential use based on provided data. Verifying water usage records and applying the MCES assumption for non-residential users of 800 gpd is a reasonable assumptions for overall planning. It is possible a large user could develop within the system; therefore, some laterals may need to be increased in size at the time of construction. The cost to install larger laterals has not been accounted for as a part of this plan. These developments would need to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as the development occurs. This table presents a number of assumptions utilized during the development of this report to calculate existing wastewater flows by actual developed units and future flows by number of units per acre and/or gallons per day per acre: City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan160 Peak Flow Factors The sanitary sewer collection system must be capable of handling not only average flows, but also the anticipated peak flows. These peak flows can be expressed as a variable ratio applied to average flow rates. This variable ratio, called the peak flow factor, has been found to decrease as the average flow increases. The peak flow factors applied in this study were based on typical MCES supplied peaking factors. They are generally considered conservative, and are widely used for planning in municipalities throughout the twin cities metropolitan area. Appendix B lists the peaking factors used for this study. Infiltration and Inflow (I/I) Infiltration is clear water that enters the sanitary sewer system through defects in the sewer pipes, joints, manholes and service laterals. Water that enters the sewer system from cross connections with storm sewer, sump pumps, roof drains or manhole covers is considered inflow. The city defines certain inflow as a form of illicit discharge, defined by City Code of Ordinances Sec. 19-44. Section 19-44 does not allow for certain types of cross connections by prohibiting direct or indirect discharges from roof drains, sump pumps, unauthorized swimming pool discharges, cistern overflow pipes or other surface drain connections to the sanitary sewer system. Any such connection found contributing to this inflow shall be disconnected and the piping removed in accordance with the ordinance. The quantity of I/I entering a wastewater collection system can be estimated utilizing flow data obtained from meters, such as the meters MCES has in place to monitor the city’s sanitary flows. By taking the city’s base flows, calculated as daily flows during winter months, and comparing them to the city’s average daily flows, the amount of I/I collected in the city’s system can be estimated. Based on available MCES flow data, the contribution of I/I to Chanhassen’s overall wastewater flow is approximately 13% from 2000-2017, as seen from Figure 7-13, with a peak of approximately 35%. Water from inflow and infiltration can consume available capacity in the wastewater collection system and increase the hydraulic load on the treatment facility. In extreme cases, the added hydraulic load can cause bypasses or overflows of raw wastewater. This extra hydraulic load also necessitates larger capacity collection and treatment components, which results in increased capital, operation and maintenance, and replacement costs. As sewer systems age and deteriorate, I/I can become an increasing problem. Therefore, it is important that I/I be reduced whenever it is cost effective to do so. The MCES has established wastewater flow goals for each community discharging wastewater into the Metropoli- tan Disposal System (MDS) based on average day flows and allowable peaking factors. These enforced wastewater flow goals are aimed at reducing excessive I/I within the city’s sanitary sewer system and also the MCES interceptor system. In February 2006, MCES adopted an I/I Surcharge Program which requires communities within the MCES service area to reduce or minimize excessive I/I over a period of five years. In the case that communities exceed the wastewater flow goals set by MCES during the five-year surcharge period, the community will be assessed a sur- charge for flows above the goal. The City of Chanhassen was identified by the MCES as having excessive I/I during the development of the I/I Surcharge Program. As part of the MCES surcharge program, the City of Chanhassen has the ability to recover the imposed surcharges by investing in the repair and maintenance of the city sanitary sewer system rather than paying surcharge amount directly to MCES. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan161 This is done by taking official steps to reduce excess I/I through planned city (or private) fund expenditures that meet MCES requirements. The investments into the sanitary sewer system are added up over a 5 year work plan period, and at the end of the 5 year work plan if the total amount invested into the system are equal to the surcharge amount, then the surcharge is considered paid. Between 2009 and 2018 the City of Chanhassen spent over $994,000 on I&I reduction on efforts such as sani- tary sewer lining, installation of I&I barriers, replacement of sanitary sewer and sanitary sewer televising. In the summer of 2006, the city completed an I/I study to assess the city’s sanitary sewer I/I and implemented the I/I reduction program in response to the MCES program. Previous to the 2006 study, the city conducted a sump pump inspection program in the late 1990s in an effort to eliminate illicit discharges, which focused primarily on homes built prior to 1970 (24% of homes in Chanhassen) and conducted a feasibility report for a sewage flow monitoring program in 2002 aimed at achieving fair and equitable allocations of the wastewater treatment costs provided by MCES. Since 2006, the city has completed inspections, repairs and upgrades to the public sanitary sewer system with the goal of reducing I/I. The city on average has invested approximately $200,000 a year into I/I abatement programs, and will continue to do so as seen from the 2019-2023 CIP in Figure 7-1. While many improvements have been installed in the city’s public sanitary sewer system, MCES metering and city lift station run time data shows that certain areas of the sanitary sewer system are still experiencing I/I issues. This is why it is important for the city to continue investing in I/I abatement. Also, MCES has stated that up to 80% of I/I can originate from private property connections (illicit discharge, unmaintained systems, etc.). Thus, the city is conducting a similar study to that performed in 2006 which focuses more heavily on the impact private property connections have on the city’s overall I/I issue, and evaluates mitigation options if a private I/I issue exists. Consultant engineering services have been contracted for this study which will include: performing sewershed data review and providing a means for the collection of flow data (i.e. metering); preparation of a report that summarizes the findings of the sewershed review and flow data collected, including identifying critical areas contributing to I/I; and providing recommendations to remediate infiltration and inflow issues for both private side and public contributions. The final report will be completed in November 2019. The city will adjust its I/I abatement efforts and future planning based on the report’s findings, along with continuing public education and outreach on the importance of the issue and ways the public can help address I/I. FIGURE 7.14 | Historic Wastewater to Water Consumption Percentages The City of Chanhassen has completed inspections, repairs, and upgrades to the public sanitary system.

Every year, a portion of public sanitary sewer infrastructure, manholes and laterals is inspected and the necessary repairs are made. Section 19-44 of the City Code, is used to enforce the city’s I/I policies with regards to private sewer infrastructure and can be found in Appendix C. Public Sanitary Sewer and Manholes Annually, the city reviews the condition of a portion of the public infrastructure, televising the sewer pipe and inspecting manholes. The sections chosen include pipe and manholes within the next year’s street improvement project and areas that have been identified as high potential for I/I, such as pipe located next to a surface water feature. Issues identified are repaired or replaced. Examples of repair work includes installing I/I barriers and gasketed manhole covers, chemical grout and short lining. Typically, the city reconstructs approximately one mile of streets in even-numbered years based on the condition of the street, water main and sanitary sewer. In odd-numbered years, the city rehabilitates between three and six miles of streets. It is the city’s policy to install drain tile throughout street reconstruction projects and in select areas in rehabilitation projects. Drain tile desaturates the street subgrade, reducing the groundwater available for infiltration into the sanitary sewer system. The drain tile also provides homeowners an option to connect their sump pump discharge which reduces inflow into the sanitary sewer system. Private Sewer Services Public sewer televising includes a visual of the service wye. As of 2014, the city offers residents within street project areas the opportunity to have their sanitary sewer service from the home to the public sewer televised. Participation is voluntary and is intended to identify services that are a source of I/I or are in need of other repairs. This service will continue to be offered to residents within street improvement project areas. Private Sump Pump and Drain Tile Illicit Connections According to information provided by the Metropolitan Council, prior to 1969 the Plumbing Code allowed sump pumps to discharge into the sanitary sewer and perimeter drain tile was permitted to be directly connected to the sanitary sewer service. According to the 2016 records, there were 733 buildings within the city that were built in or before 1969; the remaining 8,097 homes within Chanhassen were built after 1969. Of the homes built before 1969, 62% of the service wyes and 1% of the service laterals have been televised. Figure 3.7 in Appendix A shows the properties which contain buildings constructed in or before 1969. In an effort to reduce the number of illicit discharges (inflow) to the sanitary system, the city inspected 924 homes as part of the Sump Pump Inspection Program in 1996: 84% of homes were in compliance, meaning their sump pump was not connected to the sanitary sewer. Throughout the next seven years, the city reinspected the non-compliant properties to ensure that the sump pump discharge was disconnected from the sanitary sewer. More detailed information including specific projects and associated costs are included in the prepared I/I reduction plan. Total annual costs for I/I reduction efforts are included in the overall sanitary sewer Capital Improvements Plan prepared with this comprehensive study. A copy of the detailed I/I Capital Improvements Plan from the I/I reduction plan is included in Appendix C. The clearwater flow from residential uses is estimated using the data presented in Figure 7.12. Design assumptions for sewer discharge is 75 gallons per person per day and 100 gallons per person per day for water consumption, or sewer discharge is 75% of water consumption. Using this rationale wastewater flow in excess of 75% is an estimation of clearwater flow and is summarized in Figure 7.15.

Generally the selection of these areas is governed by existing topography and/or other existing features such as roadways. The ultimate potential service area for Chanhassen is divided into eight major sanitary sewer districts: Minnewashta (MW), Bluff Creek (BC), Lake Ann (LA), Lake Lucy (LC), North (NO), Lotus Lake (LL), Lake Riley (LR) and Lower Bluff Creek (LB). Figures 7.16 and Figures 3.2 and 3.3 in Appendix A show the major sanitary sewer districts and the sub-districts. The existing and projected flows for each sanitary sewer district is presented in Figure 7.21. The existing flows not- ed in Figure 7.21 are higher than the sewer flow rates provided by the Metropolitan Council. The difference between calculated and realized sewer flows can be attributed to the fact that properties within each land type can contain undevelopable acreage such as wetland, storm water features or steep slopes which cannot be readily deleted from the property area. Minnewashta District (MW) The Minnewashta (MW) Sewer District includes the area around the south, west and north sides of Lake Minnewashta. There are approximately 1,200 acres of developed land consisting of low density residential and commercial uses, including approximately 40 acres of single family residential land within the City of Victoria. The district also includes park/open space and significant acreage of public/semi-public land within the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum property. Approximately 20 acres of low density residential developable land remains within the MW Sewer District. The MW Sewer District is subdivided into seven sub-districts. The flows from the MW district are collected by several sewer lines ranging in size from 8-inch to 10-inch pipe. There are six lift stations that service the MW Sewer District as summarized in Figure 7.17. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan164 FIGURE 7.16 | Sanitary Sewer Districts City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan165 FIGURE 7.17 | Summary of Lift Stations within the Minnewashta Subdistricts Subdistrict Serviced by Discharges to MW 1 Lift Station 3 MCES Shorewood Interceptor Sewer (7017) MW 2 Lift Station 28 MW 3 MW 3 Lift Station 7 MW 1 MW 4 Lift Station 6 MW 3 MW 5 n/a*n/a MW 6 Lift Station 8 MW 7 MW 7 Lift Station 4 MCES Shorewood Interceptor Sewer (7017) Bluff Creek District (BC) The Bluff Creek (BC) Sewer District includes the area from the east side of Lake Minnewashta and extends southeasterly along the Chanhassen/Chaska border to the Highway 212 corridor. There are approximately 1,250 acres of developed land and 400 acres of developable land within the BC Sewer District. The BC District is partially developed with a combination of low and medium density residential, large lot residential, parks/open space, public/semi-public and office/industrial properties. The BC Sewer District is subdivided into 11 sub-districts. The wastewater generated is collected by gravity sewers ranging from 8-inches to 21-inches diameter. There are three lift stations within the BC Sewer District: Lift Stations 19, 24 and 26. Lift Station No. 19 serves the BC-2 sub-district and Lift Station No. 26 serves the BC-3 sub-district. All of the wastewater from the BC sub-districts flows to Lift Station 24, where it is then pumped north to an 18-inch trunk sewer in the Lake Ann Sewer District Lake Ann District (LA) The Lake Ann District (LA) Sewer District includes the area that runs through the central part of Chanhassen. There are approximately 1,656 acres of existing developed land and 295 acres of developable land within the LA Sewer District. The LA District is sub-divided into 11 sub-districts. The majority of the sub-districts have been developed but there will still be need for lateral sewer lines as LA-4, -5 and -6 are sub-districts that are not fully developed. The LA District consists of low, medium and high density residential properties as well as large lots, park/open space, public/semi-public and office industrial areas. The wastewater generated in the LA District is collected by gravity sewers ranging from 8-inches to 36 inches in diameter. There are five existing lift stations within the LA Sewer District: Lift Stations 23, 27, 29, 30 and 31. Lift Station No 23 is a small station within the LA-4 sub-district that serves Lake Ann Park and discharges to Lake Susan Sub District 11. Lift Station No. 27 serves the LA-7 sub-district and discharges to LA-6. Lift Station No. 29 was constructed to serve approximately nine large lots in the southern part of LA-3 sub-district; however, its use has been very minimal, as it only services one home at this time. Lift Station 30 serves the LA-9 sub-district and dis- charges to LA-8. Lift Station 31 serves approximately 28 single family lots in the southern part of LA-3 sub-district. The MCES Lake Ann Interceptor runs southeast through the center of the LA Sewer District. The city’s major trunk line, which ranges in size from 21-inches in diameter to 36-inches in diameter, parallels the MCES Lake Ann Inter- ceptor from State Highway 5 to near Market Boulevard, where it discharges into the Lake Ann Interceptor. *There is currently no collection system that serves sub-district MW-5, which contains the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum research fields and natural areas. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan166 Lake Lucy District (LC) The Lake Lucy (LC) Sanitary Sewer District is located around the north side of Lake Lucy. The LC District is not subdivided in to sub-districts due to its size. There is approximately 91 acres of existing developed land within the LC District, which is all low density residential. A 10 acre parcel in the southwest corner of the LC District may further subdivide in the future. Sanitary sewers 8-inches in diameter collect the wastewater and direct it to Lift Station No. 25. Lift Station No. 25 is the only lift station within the LC District, which collects the entirety of wastewater generated and pumps the wastewater to the North District North District (NO) The North District (NO) is located along the north border of the city and extends east from the Minnewashta District to the eastern border of the city. The NO District also includes the area along the northeast side of Lotus Lake and is fully developed. There is approximately 725 acres of existing developed land within the NO Sewer District. The existing de- velopment within the NO District consists of low density residential, park/open space and public/semi-public uses. This district also includes approximately 17 acres of low density residential within the City of Shorewood. The only properties that may be developed in the future are low density residential lots that lie within sub-districts NO-7 and NO-8. The NO District is subdivided into 12 sub-districts. The wastewater generated is collected by gravity sewers ranging in size from 8-inches to 15-inches in diameter. There are six lift stations within the NO District and include Lift Stations 5, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 21. Lotus Lake District (LL) The Lotus Lake District (LL) is located along the western and southern sides of Lotus Lake and is divided into 10 sub-districts. Most of the area within the LL District is developed and is composed of low and high density residential, parks/open space, public/semi-public, office/industrial and commercial properties. There is approximately 925 acres of developed land within the LL Sewer District. Sub-district LL-3 has approximately eight acres of developable low density residential land. LL-7 has one 1.2 acre commercial property that is possible for redevelopment. The wastewater generated is collected by gravity sewers ranging in size from 8-inches to 21-inches in diameter. There are seven lift stations within the LL District and include Lift Stations 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 22. Lake Riley District (LR) The Lake Riley District (LR) is located around the north, west and south sides of Lake Riley. There are approximately 485 acres of developed land and 40 acres of developable land within the LR Sewer District. The potential future devel- opment within the LR District is around the US Highway 212 corridor and Great Plains Boulevard. The developed ar- eas consist of low and high density residential, large lots, park/open space and mixed use properties. Sub-districts LR-3 and LR-4 have areas of potential low and medium density residential as well as mixed use developable properties. The LR District is subdivided into five sub-districts. The wastewater is collected by gravity sewers ranging in size from 8-inches to 36-inches in diameter. There are two lift stations within the LR District and include Lift Station 17 and 18. Lower Bluff Creek District (LB) The LB District is located south of Lyman Boulevard between Powers Boulevard and Great Plains Boulevard, and between Pioneer Trail and the southern city limits. This area within the district is partially developed with very little city sewer service. There is a strong possibility for redevelopment, namely along the Highway 212 corridor, as well as the Bluff Creek Golf Course. There are approximately 610 acres of developed land and 1,000 acres of developable land within the LB Sewer District. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan167 The LB District is subdivided into five sub-districts. An 8-inch sanitary extends along 96th Street to Lift Station No. 20 and serves the existing developed lots within LB - 4. Lift Station No. 20 pumps wastewater through a forcemain that runs north along Great Plains Boulevard that discharges to the Lake Riley District. There is also an existing 15-inch and 18-inch trunk sewer line that was constructed along Pioneer Trail and Powers Boulevard; however, this existing trunk sewer does not serve any development at this time. Development of the land within this sewer district and future densities is contingent upon the installation of a lift station and forcemain to bring the sewage to the 21- inch sewer main at Great Plains Boulevard and Lyman Boulevard. The lots within sub-district LB-2 are served by an existing 8-inch diameter sewer that discharges to the Eden Prairie sewer system. Sub-district LB-1 is proposed to have low, large lot and high density residential and office, parks/open space and office industrial properties. The area encompassed in sub-district LB-3 is currently large lot development with area for future residential low density development. Sub-district LB-5 is primarily undeveloped. There are large lots located on Homestead Lane and Flintlock Trail but there is no sewer service. Eight-inch sanitary sewer would be required to convey the flows from these existing lots and potentially from the proposed lift station in LB-4. The northern portion of LB-5 is proposed for low density and large lot residential, office and parks/open space. 7.5 | Future Sanitary Sewer System Wastewater Flow Projections Wastewater flow projections were generated for each sanitary sewer district and corresponding sub-districts based on the gross developable acreage available, anticipated land uses and wastewater flow generation rates. The waste- water flow generation rates for the various land uses found in Figure 7.11 of this report were used to project the future wastewater flows for the service area. The total district existing average and peak flows and also the ultimate 2040 average and peak flows were calculated using the actual development for existing flows and the projected land use for ultimate flows. Estimated peak hour flows are not totaled as the peaking factor is dependent upon the average day flow rate. Summing the projected peak hour flow rates would produce a flow rate higher than the peak hour flow rate for the entire city; therefore, the peak hour flows are calculated by multiplying the total average flows by the MCES peaking factor. Figure 7.21 presents the existing and projected 2040 flows for each sanitary sewer district.

Future Trunk Sanitary Sewer System Analysis The 2007 SewerCAD model developed for the analysis of the existing sanitary system flows was utilized to determine the ability of the existing trunk sanitary system to convey future wastewater flows. Future trunk mains and lift stations will be extended to accommodate future development, which in turn will increase the flows conveyed to the existing trunk system. The trunk sewer system has not been extended since 2007, therefore an updated analyses was not done. Proposed flows were entered into the model and results indicated a reduction in remaining capacity throughout the system, primarily in the Lower Bluff Creek District. Figure 7.3 presents the remaining sewer capacity taking into account proposed future flows. The two sections of the 36-inch trunk main parallel to the MCES interceptor flowing east along the north side of Lake Susan near Highway 101 that exceeded capacity in the existing flow model re- mained the only two sections exceeding capacity in the future system model. Similar to the existing system model, the MCES interceptor exhibited a few sections exceeding capacity; however, MCES is responsible for monitoring flows and determining deficiencies for this main. The City of Victoria future flows conveyed through the MCES interceptor were not included in the model to analyze future capacities in the MCES Lake Ann interceptor. All existing trunk lift stations with the exception of Lift Station Nos. 7 exhibit adequate pumping capacity to serve future development. Figure 7.23 below shows existing lift station pump capacity and existing peak inflow.

A feasibility report would need to be completed to determine the sewer impacts to the existing lift stations. Typically if development impacts from up-zoning are identified, upgrades to existing infrastructure are paid for by the developer or land owner(s). Future Trunk Sanitary Sewer System Minnewashta District (MW) Additional trunk sanitary sewer main improvements will not be necessary to serve the identified future development within the Minnewashta Sewer District. The properties remaining for development are located near trunk and lateral facilities and remaining capacity within the existing facilities is sufficient for estimat- ed peak flows at full build-out. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan addressed the possibility of serving the northeast portion of Victoria through the Minnewashta District. Subsequently, the City of Victoria further examined this service connection and opted to service this area via a future lift station and force main that connect to the Met Council interceptor. Lift Station No. 7 may need to be increased in capacity in the future. Currently, Lift Station No. 28 has a capacity of 100 gpm, with an estimated 25 gpm of existing peak flow. Both of these lift stations would need to have the capacity increased if undeveloped property in Victoria to the west of these lift stations where to development and sanitary sewer service connected to the City of Chanhassen sewer system. The estimated future peak flow from the Victoria development area totals 160 gpm (0.2302 MGD). Bluff Creek District (BC) Improvements to the existing lateral and trunk sanitary sewer system will be required to provide service to currently undeveloped properties as well as existing properties that do not have city service. Several of the sub-districts will require improvements to service the developable areas. Sub-district BC-1: Requires an 8-inch trunk line to service a public/semi-public piece of land with the addition of a lift station to pump the wastewater to BC-4. Sub-district BC-2: Contains a nine acre parcel that can be redeveloped into low density residential with the future installation of an eight inch lateral. Sub-district BC-3: This area is fully developed, however several large lots in the Timberwood development are within this district and on a septic system. Future installation of eight inch lateral sanitary sewer will service these properties. Sub-district BC-4: Potential development of low density residential and public/semi-public land with the future installation of an eight inch lateral. Sub-district BC-5: Fully developed and will not require additional sewer installation. Sub-district BC-6: An 11 acre parcel was redeveloped to residential low density in 2017. The extension of an eight inch lateral from the existing stub within the southern portion of Fawn Hill Road served this parcel. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan171 Sub-district BC-7: This area is fully developed. However, several large lots in the Timberwood development are within this district and on a septic system. Future installation of eight inch lateral sanitary sewer will service these properties. Sub-district BC-8: There is one undeveloped office industrial property within sub-district BC-8 that will require an 8-inch sanitary sewer line to tie into Chaska’s system or a new lift station to convey flow to Lift Station No. 24 Sub-district BC-9: Future installation of eight inch lateral sanitary sewer will service the properties on Sunridge Court, Audubon Road and Sunset Trail that are currently serviced by septic systems. The vacant land southwest of Lyman Boulevard and Powers Boulevard is guided for medium and high density residential, office and dual guided for commercial as part of the Avienda development pending the extension of eight or ten inch sanitary sewer that flows to Lift Station No. 24. Sub-district BC-10: This area is fully developed as large lot residential. All properties are currently on septic systems. Future improvements include installation of eight inch lateral sanitary sewer and a lift station that connects to the BC-2 system. Lake Ann (LA) Sub-districts LA-1, LA-2, LA-7, LA-8, LA-10 and LA-11 have developed to their full potential and are sufficiently serviced by the existing sewer systems. Subdistrict LA-3. The 19 acre property east of Audubon Road and south of Alisa Lane can be redeveloped into low density residential and serviced by the extension of eight inch lateral sanitary sewer that connects to the system within Alisa Lane and/or Stonefield Lane. Sub-district LA-4 also will require an 8-inch line to be extended from Coulter Boulevard to the north to service the future office-industrial property located west of McGlynn Drive. Sub-districts LA-5 and LA-6 are proposed to have large areas of development consisting of low, medium, and high density residential properties. Eight-inch sewer laterals will be needed to convey the wastewater from these sub-districts to the existing MCES Interceptor. LA-9 is fully developed, but there are some low density and large lot properties without sewer service. Eight-inch sanitary sewer would be used to connect to the existing sewer system should future connection be asked for by the residents. Lake Lucy (LC) Most of the LC District has sewer service, with the exception of approximately a 10 acre parcel south of Lake Lucy Road at Yosemite Avenue. Eight-inch laterals were stubbed to the property line when the area to the east developed. North District (NO) The only properties that may be developed in the future are low density residential lots and lie within sub-districts NO-7, NO-8 and NO-9. Additional sanitary sewer trunk lines would not be needed to serve these lots as there are sufficient facilities adjacent to the properties. Lotus Lake (LL) The majority of this district is fully developed. The potential future developments within sub-district LL-3 and extension of sanitary sewer to existing lots within LL-10 would be served by the existing trunk sanitary sewer system facilities. Eight inch laterals would be needed to accommodate these properties. Lake Riley (LR) Sub-district LR-1 is fully developed with large lots that will require a future eight-inch sanitary sewer and a lift station to pump the wastewater to sub-district LR-2. The proposed sewer would be needed if the residents requested City service, if the area redevelops, or if septic system failures lead to health or safety issues requiring centralized sanitary sewer service. Sub-districts LR-2 and LR-5 are fully developed are sufficiently serviced by the existing sewer systems. Sub-districts LR-3 and LR-4 are mostly developed and contain future low and medium density residential as well as mixed use properties. To serve future development within these sub-districts, eight inch laterals are proposed. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan172 Lower Bluff District (LB) Sub-district LB-1 contains low density residential and large lot properties that will be serviced by eight-inch gravity sanitary sewer. In 2014, the “County Road 61 Corridor Plan” by SRF Consulting Group and Hoisington Koegler Group was finalized and included the trunk sanitary layout and estimated costs. The properties west of the Seminary Fen Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) will require eight-inch sanitary sewer to convey flow to a future lift station at the west- ern edge of the SNA. The remainder of Sub-District LB-1 will be serviced by eight-inch lateral. A future lift station at High- way 101 and County Road 61 will take all of the flow of LB-1 and pump it north along Highway 101 to LB-5. Sub-district LB-2 is fully developed and is serviced by eight inch sanitary sewer that connects to the City of Eden Prairie. Sub-district LB-3 consists of existing large lot development and future low density residential development. To service this area, eight-inch sanitary sewer and lift station just west of Deerbrook Drive will be required. Flow from this area will be discharged to LB-5. Sub-district LB-4 is fully developed as residential homes connected to the sanitary sewer via a “201 System”. The “201 Program” instituted by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) based on Section 201 of the Fed- eral Water Pollution Control Act of 1972. The 201 Facilities Planning identified facilities that were required in order to achieve water quality requirements. As a result, Carver County led a project in the 1980s to install sanitary sewer along 96th Street to service the existing properties. The project was to correct the existing problems without providing sani- tary sewer facilities to accommodate additional growth in the area. The project was paid using federal and local funds; also, benefiting property owners were assessed. When this sewer was installed, the services were connected directly to the existing septic tanks instead of abandoning the septic tanks. The old septic tanks are a suspected source on infiltration into the sanitary sewer system. With the proposed sewer layout it may be feasible to abandon Lift Station No. 20 and route the flow west to the new lift station located along Powers Boulevard in LB-5. To reduce the amount of infiltration entering the city’s sanitary sewer system, when the new sewer is constructed, services should be installed directly to the homes and all septic tanks should be abandoned. Sub-district LB-5 is primarily undeveloped. There are large lots located on Homestead Lane and Flintlock Trail but there is no sewer service. To convey the flows from these existing lots and potentially from the proposed lift station in LB-4, eight-inch sanitary sewer would be required. The northern portion of LB-5 is proposed for low and medium density residential and office properties. These properties will require 8-inch trunk mains to carry the wastewater flow. A portion of LB-5 south of Highway 212 and east of Powers Boulevard may be rezoned from low density residential to office. The comprehensive plan assumes the land use will be low density residential as the sewer generation per acre is higher than that of office (822 versus 800 gpad). The Bluff Creek Golf Course may potentially be redeveloped into low density residential properties. Redevelopment of the Bluff Creek Golf Course may be required to convey the gravity sewer flows from the southern and eastern portions of the LB District. To service the existing properties on Delphinium Lane, Raspberry Hill, and Halla Nursery Drive West, eight-inch sanitary sewer will be needed. To convey the flow from the LB-1 -3 and -5 a 15-inch line will be need- ed. All of the LB-5 wastewater flows would be taken by gravity sewer to a proposed lift station north of Pioneer Trail and south east of the Highway 212/Powers Boulevard intersection. This proposed lift station would pump flows to the northeast along the Highway 212 and tie into an existing 21-inch sewer stub in LR-4 of the Lake Riley District. This lift station is critical in pumping all sewer south of Hwy. 212 to the MCES interceptor system. Alternative sewer alignments have been considered to service sub-district LB-3 and the portion of LB-5 south of Pioneer Trail. The alternative alignments, estimated cost (2016 dollars) and design considerations are included in Appendix D. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan173 7.6 | Capital Improvement Program Analysis of Area South of Pioneer Boulevard The MUSA expansion area generally lies south of Pioneer Trail. Over the past 10 years, two studies have been performed to analyze utility extension to the area: the December, 2014 County Road 61 Corridor Plan by SRF Consulting Group, and the 2016 Kimley Horn Lower Bluff Creek District Sanitary Sewer Study. These studies are intended to serve as guiding documents; actual alignments will be established as development proposals are submitted. These studies are included in Appendix D. The Kimley Horn study included Option 2A, the trunk sewer alignment through the Bluff Creek Golf Course property, and four alternate alignments. Figure 3.4, Appendix A, depicts Option 2A as the future sewer align- ment, which is consistent with the previous comprehensive plan. Figure 7.24 includes a summary of only the estimated oversizing cost for trunk sewer and lift station costs to serve the sewer sub-districts south of Pioneer Boulevard. Figure 3.1 in Appendix A, details the existing MUSA area and the proposed MUSA expansion area.

Alternative alignments for the LB-3 -4 and -5 subdistricts and the associated estimated costs are included in Appendix D. Lift Station Improvements As discussed in previous sections, the city owns and operates 31 lift stations, which require routine maintenance and upgrades. The expected service life of the controls and equipment in these lift stations is 20 years. Pumps and motors should be replaced at approximately 33,000 hours of use on an intermittent duty pump station. The city has routinely replaced and upgraded outdated pumping equipment and controls in many lift stations over the past several years. It is recommended that this program continue to prevent failure of older and outdated lift station equipment. This replacement program will need to continue over the next 20 years and beyond to keep all the lift stations run- ning efficiently with minimal maintenance and breakdowns. Replacement of outdated pumps and controls in the lift station should be scheduled as part of the city’s capital improvements program. Figure 7.26 presents a detailed capital improvement program in 5-year increments as a pro- posed schedule for upgrades to the city’s lift stations. These tables also include the recommended improvements to be made to each of the lift stations listed. This list of improvements is based on information obtained from city staff and from a site investigation of each lift station. New lift stations that are constructed will need to be incorporated into the lift station capital improvements schedule in the appropriate time period. Most costs include construction costs only and do not include administration, legal or engineering fees as the work would be completed in-house by city staff; however, larger projects may need to be outsourced for design.

Capital Improvements Summary A Capital Improvement Plan based on estimated phasing of trunk sewer construction is presented in Figure 7.1. This figure includes trunk system improvements for service areas added, list station improvements and improvements for I/I reduction efforts. The projected 2040 sanitary sewer trunk system was broken down into improvements based on flow districts. The overall cost associated with these improvements over the next 22 years is approximately $22.5 million. These costs are based upon 2017 dollars. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan176 Funding The city’s current sewer fee structure is provided in Appendix E. Fees consist of sewer user fees, trunk sewer fees and sewer access charges (SAC). Utility usage fees are charged to both residential and non-residential users based on the actual water usage metered during the winter months. The purpose of the user charges is to fund the operation, maintenance and replacement costs of existing collection systems. User charges are primarily based on the actual costs of operations, maintenance and replacement of all wastewater system facilities. Trunk and SAC fees provide a funding mechanism for construction of the major infrastructure improvements needed to serve growth. The City of Chanhassen has established that growth should be funded and paid for by those who are in need of the facilities. The development creating the need for additional sanitary sewer system improvements are expected to pay for new trunk facilities and expansion of existing facilities through trunk and SAC fees. Currently, the trunk sewer fees are a per unit cost at the time of development and the SAC fees are calculated based upon the Metro- politan Council’s SAC Procedure Manual, which assigns non-residential properties a SAC unit for office or industrial/ commercial buildings. Developments and redevelopments that currently are not serviced by the city’s sanitary sewer system must construct lateral sanitary service to the parcel. The design and installation costs of the lateral sanitary sewer shall be bore by the project developer. Goals and Policies The timing of future trunk sanitary sewer improvements will be influenced by several parameters including develop- ment pressures in specific areas, failing on-site septic systems, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, etc. As a result it is difficult to accurately predict the timing of future improvements especially those which may occur far into the future. Therefore, the Capital Improvement Program is intended to serve as a guide only for future fiscal planning and should be reviewed on a regular basis as more current planning and cost data becomes available. The following items are general policy guidelines to be considered when reviewing and/or revising the city’s fee structure: System Expansion (Orderly Development) Development shall occur in an orderly fashion. Properties that abut parcels served by municipal utilities will be consid- ered as the next feasible property for development. The city may limit development activities to selected areas. Petitions to expand in areas not already under development will be considered. Factors that will be considered include but are not limited to capacity in the MCES interceptor, capacity in the city’s collection system, economic factors including costs, number of developments under construction and the staff resources available to review the requested development. Leapfrogging Leapfrogging refers to the circumstance where certain parties want to develop an area not currently adjacent to the limits of the City of Chanhassen’s existing sewer system. The applicant wants to “leapfrog” over areas located adja- cent to the city’s existing services that would be the next logical area to be developed. In this circumstance, the City of Chanhassen could decide whether or not to approve such development. If approved, it is recommended that the inter- ested property owner pay for the entire cost of installing services to their property and resulting system upgrades. The developer shall be offered no credit or reimbursement for these costs. If development of the property that was “leap- frogged” is later initiated, payment of all trunk charges for the property will still be required regardless of the fact that the facilities were already installed before development occurred. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan177 Overdepth and Oversizing The costs of additional depth shall be defined by differences in cost for the depth required by the development and the depth required for trunk facilities. Trunk oversizing as defined by the city and installed by the developer will be credited using the differential of pipe costs between the larger and the minimum pipe size required for the develop- ment. Bid pricing shall not be the sole determinate in defining a developer credit. The city shall determine if a credit will be given for a project. Lift Stations Trunk lift stations should be defined as those servicing more than one single development project. The trunk fees will pay for 100 percent of the cost of trunk lift stations. Lift stations that do not fit the definition for a trunk lift station are to be paid for by the developer. All lift stations shall be designed and constructed in accordance with city standards. The city will consider cost sharing for other lift stations if it is found that a particular lift station may be able to serve a greater area than the single development. The cost sharing shall include the oversizing or overdepth required to serve additional area and associated Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system costs to establish the lift station on the city’s SCADA system. Existing Developed Unserviced Properties There are a number of existing developed areas that do not receive sewer and water service within the city limits. The trunk system has been designed to handle all existing developed unserviced properties within the city, but it is not the policy of the city to initiate a sewer extension project. If an individual property owner or group of neighbor- ing property owners would like city sanitary sewer services where it is not yet available, the city will review whether or not it is economically viable. Existing developed, unserviced residential properties will be assessed or required to pay connection fees as required by the City Code. Existing Non-Residential Unserviced Properties Existing unserviced commercial/industrial or other non-residential properties wishing to expand or hookup to municipal utilities shall be treated the same as new development and will be assessed or required to pay connection fees as required by the city. Interconnections As Chanhassen and its neighboring cities have grown, interconnections (inter-community service areas) and subsequent municipal wastewater charge agreements for receiving adjacent municipal wastewater flows have developed. The majority of Chanhassen’s municipal wastewater inter-community service areas with neighboring cities are to the north, as seen from Figure 7.27, with Shorewood and Eden Prairie. The City also has agreements with Victoria and Chaska. The communities reimburse each other for the municipal wastewater charges that each will incur by receiving flow from the adjacent community. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan178 7.7 | Recommendations Based on the results and analysis of this study, it is recommended that the City of Chanhassen and the City Council, where applicable: »Adopt this report as the Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan for the City of Chanhassen. »Review and update the CIP for trunk sanitary sewer facilities every year to reflect sewer improvement projects necessary for the next five year period. »Proceed with future sanitary sewer improvements in accordance with the initial 5-year capital improvement program. »Continue to reduce I/I to the existing collection system and maintain provisions for preventing I/I from entering the sanitary sewer system with new construction.

The water distribution system has been expanded and improved in the decade since the last comprehensive water plan was completed. Now, the water system can be re-evaluated in light of recent improvements and the need for water system improvements can be re-evaluated. The updated water system model can be used to analyze demands, available supply capacity and storage, and available flow rates and pressures throughout the distribution system. For this purpose, SEH has updated the city’s existing water system plan with water main, PRV, treatment and storage improve-ments that have occurred since the last model update. Additionally, we have processed updated demand data to geo-located water demands in the system so that they are modeled in the area of occurrence. Furthermore, regions of future development expected to create additional system demands were identified with the help of city staff, along with potential water system improvements that will allow the system to meet these expected demands. The computer model was updated using WaterGEMS v8i. The resulting product is a tool that can be used for hy- draulic analysis of the water system and scenario planning. The model can also be built-upon in the future if so desired to analyze water chemistry/water quality throughout the distribution system. In recent years, the city has utilized the model as a valuable tool for:»Identification of future locations of critical supply and storage facilities so land can be purchased and/or set aside before development begins in the designated area. »Provide a long range plan for water system upgrades/expansion so that proposed construction projects include properly sized water mains to allow for future development needs. »Identify deficiencies in the water system and corresponding improvements to reduce or eliminate these deficiencies. 8.2 | Existing Facilities The Chanhassen water system is composed of storage, supply, treatment and distribution components as described in the following paragraphs. Storage, supply and treatment facilities are listed in the tables below. Storage Storage facilities on a water system allow a more constant supply during variable demand conditions. During high demands when water customers are using a greater volume of water, part of that demand can be met by storage reserves in addition to direct pumping from wells. During low demand conditions, the well pumps can continue to operate with excess supply going to fill storage for later withdrawal. In addition to this operational function, storage tanks can serve as an emergency water source in the case of a supply failure (i.e. power outage, well maintenance, etc.); they also increase the amount of water available during a fire; and they stabilize water system pressures. 8 | ComprehensiveWater System Plan City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan205 Facility Pressure Zone Volume (MG) Useable Volume (MG) Overflow Elevation (ft) Style Arboretum Low 1.50 1.50 1120 Fluted Column - Elevated Lake Lucy Low 3.50 1.75 1120 Steel-Ground Storage Tank Minnetonka Middle School -West High 0.75 0.75 1200 Composite - Elevated East WTP Clearwell Low 0.20 0.20 NA Concrete - Below Grade Storage Capacity 5.95 4.20 Table 8.1 | Existing Water Storage Facilities Source: City Records Supply and Treatment Raw (untreated) water is currently supplied to Chanhassen by means of 12 wells as listed in Table 8.2. These wells utilize the Prairie Du Chien – Jordan aquifer with the exception of wells 5, 6 and 11, which draw water from the glacial drift aquifer. Of these 12 wells, seven pump into the east water treatment plant with the remainder pumping groundwater directly into the distribution system. The treatment plant uses a gravity filtration process to remove iron and manganese from the groundwater. Of the wells pumping directly into the distribution system, wells 3, 15 and 9 pump into the main pressure zone, while wells 7 and 8 pump into the high zone. These wells will eventually feed the new west water treatment plant. Due to a reduction in capacity, wells 5 and 6 were deactivated in 2008 and are not included in the well summary. The firm well pumping capacity is that which can be supplied reliably even during maintenance activities or an emergency situation where the largest well pump might be out of service. This figure is often used for design and planning purposes, since it represents a worst-case scenario. The total operational supply capacity for Chanhassen is currently 10,600 gpm assuming the well capacities shown in Table 8.2 while the “firm” supply capacity is 9,350 gpm. The east water treatment plant has a filtration capacity of 6,000 gpm as is noted in Table 8.3. There are four high service pumps that draw from the clearwell at the treatment plant, each with a capacity of 2,000 gpm. Therefore, the firm pumping capacity of the plant is 6,000 gpm.

The system has been designed with larger trunk main loops with smaller branch mains. The system serves an elevation range of approximately 850 feet to 1080 feet. Pressures in the distribution system are correlated with elevations with properties at higher elevations receiving lower pressure and vice-versa. Because services at relatively high elevations have unacceptably low pressures when served by the low pressure zone, a high pressure zone has been created in the northwestern part of the city, east of Lake Minnewashta. This pressure zone is served by separate wells and a storage tank as discussed in the preceding sections. Water from the high zone can also serve demand on the low zone by passing through pressure reducing valves (PRVs) on the distribution system. These PRVs are shown in Appendix A - Figure 1. Under normal conditions, the PRVs between the high and low pressure zone remain closed. Additional PRVs are located throughout the system and maintain system pressure to the other low pressure zones. As noted earlier, areas of low land elevation have higher pressures in relation to the existing water storage tanks. When pressures exceed 80-90 psi, it is recommended to reduce these pressures to more usable levels. The Lake Riley, Inter Bluff and Lower bluff pressure zones are all service areas with lower land elevations. These areas have PRVs regulating pressure within the zone. Some of the pressure zones identified for future service have in ground vaults ready for installation of PRVs when additional development requires. Table 8.4 below provides a list of existing system PRVs and their operational status.

They are representative of temporal variation in water demands. A maximum day peaking factor for a water system is the ratio of the MD demand rate to the AD demand rate. It normally indicates the magnitude of seasonal differences in water demands. For example, if demands on a system increase substantially during the summer due to lawn irrigation, the peaking factors will also be large. Typical MD peaking factors range from 2.0 to 3.0. Larger systems generally have lower maximum day peaking factors. However, predominantly residential municipal- ities, especially in metropolitan areas, generally have higher peaking factors due to lawn irrigation demands. Recent MD peaking factors for Chanhassen are shown in Table 8.6. From the peak demand information that was available, it can be seen that the seasonal demand pattern in Chanhassen is within the typical range. This historical information is useful, not only to assess the capacity of existing water system facilities, but also to an- ticipate future needs. For future demand projections, a MD peaking factor of 3.1 was assumed in this report, which was the highest of the previous fifteen years.Population City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan210 Table 8.6 | Recent Historical Max Day Water Use and Peak Factors Year Average Day (MGD) Maximum Day (MGD) Maximum Day (gpm) Maximum Day to Average Day Ratio (Peak Factor) 2002 2.4 5.1 3,527 2.2 2003 3.0 8.9 6,169 3.0 2004 2.6 5.9 4,093 2.2 2005 2.7 7.8 5,396 2.9 2006 3.2 9.8 6,803 3.1 2007 3.1 9.2 6,392 3.0 2008 3.2 8.5 5,926 2.7 2009 3.6 8.3 5,771 2.3 2010 2.7 6.4 4,410 2.4 2011 2.8 6.7 4,618 2.3 2012 3.3 7.9 5,503 2.4 2013 2.9 7.4 5,146 2.6 2014 2.6 7.2 4,979 2.7 2015 2.5 6.3 4,391 2.5 2016 2.6 6.2 4,328 2.4 15 Yr.

Water demands also vary over the course of a given day. Figure 8.2 represents the results of typical hourly demand distribution graph for total water use in the City of Chanhassen. This was calculated for a typical average day as well as a maximum day. For comparison purposes, a typical curve developed by the America Water Works Association (AWWA) for residential water use is also included on the graph as a reference. In general, commercial and industrial water uses are typically more constrained and predictable. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan212 All three curves depict low water demand during the early morning periods. It shows increasing demand during the day with a slight decrease in the late morning periods. By late afternoon, demands level off then increase again during the evening hours, likely when residents are home and utilizing more water. As can be seen in the figure, for the peak day data, the peak hour occurs earlier in the morning, this is likely due to automated irrigation within the city for both commercial and residential customers. As discussed briefly in Section 8.2, storage reservoirs are used to supplement the supply of treated water during the peak usage hours within each day. During the early morning periods when demand is low, the system is able to produce water in excess of the demand. This excess is used to fill the storage reservoirs. When the demand rate exceeds the production rate, stored water in the reservoirs is used to make up for the deficit. The storage reservoirs will start to fill when the demand decreases below the total supply capacity. 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 110% 120% 130% 140% 150% 160% 170% 180% 190% 200% 210% 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25Demand %Hour Typical Average Water Use Day - Chanhassen, MN Typical Water Peak Use Day - Chanhassen, MN AWWA 8.6 | Analysis of the Existing Water System All utility-owned pipes 4 inches in diameter and larger were included in the computer model of the distribution sys- tem. Water pumping records from 2016 were used to represent current demands on the system. Storage and supply facilities were modeled based on specifications supplied by city staff. Additional calibration can be conducted in the future, after construction of short-term water system improvements, to improve its accuracy for future use. Figure 8.2 | Typical Hourly Demand City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan213 System Pressure Calculations Pressures in the future system under average day demands were calculated by the computer model. Due to the elevation changes in Chanhassen and the creation of separate pressure zones, the pressures in the system are highly variable. The model calculates pressures in the range of 40 – 110 psi throughout the existing water system. Higher pressures exist on the southern and eastern parts of the distribution system, where elevations are relatively low, with the exception of the reduced pressure zone around Lake Riley. In this zone, the pressure is maintained at a lower level through the use of pressure reduction valves. Industry standard recommends that the normal working pressure in water distribution systems be approximately in the range of 50 to 80 psi and not less than 35 psi. In addition, pressures in excess of 100 psi in the distribution sys- tem should be reuced by pressure reducing valves. The Minnesota Plumbing Code requires that building plumbing systems not exceed 80 psi. Many of the areas with pressures greater than 100 psi are localized on the system (they are limited to the fringes of the existing distribution system). Expansion of the distribution system to the south will require the use of pressure reducing valves as discussed later in this report. Where pressures exceed 80 psi, individual homes or businesses should install pressure reducing valves on the service line near the entrance to the building, as recommended by the Minnesota Plumbing Code. Lake Lucy Road and Powers Boulevard – Analysis of Low Pressures During High Demand Conditions As reported by city staff and mentioned in the previous comprehensive water plan, pressures in the area around the Lake Lucy Reservoir are low during peak demands. This effect is also observed in the computer model. Areas of relatively high elevations are present in the area. Elevations range from about 960 feet in the vicinity of the inter- section of Lake Lucy Road and Powers Boulevard to approximately 1040 feet in certain locations. Most of the high elevations are found on the south and east side of the intersection. It appears from the computer modeling results that there are about 50 homes that may drop below 35 psi during high demands when levels in the Lake Lucy Reservoir are low. If levels in the reservoir drop to 50% of capacity, that cor-responds to a water elevation of 1105 feet (15 feet below overflow). At this level, any water service above an eleva-tion of about 1024 feet would drop below 35 psi. As stated previously, industry standard recommends that pressures remain about 35 psi under normal operating conditions, which includes periods of relatively high demand. Since this is primarily an elevation issue, distribution system replacements or upgrades are not expected to have a significant effect in improving pressures in the area. The following three options are presented here for dealing with this pressure issue: »Do nothing. The pressures do not appear to be critically low, and residents have adapted to conditions as they are. »Install individual booster pumps on homes that require higher pressure. »Create a small boosted pressure zone. A small booster station operating on a closed system is possible in the area. The city would need to conduct a detailed study of the issue to determine the optimal way to create such a system while maintaining circulation in the water system to prevent stagnation and the creation of dead ends that would limit fire protection capabilities. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan214 Pressure Zone Analysis As part of the comprehensive water plan update, the establishment of the pressure zone boundaries was revisited. Since the last comprehensive water plan was completed, pressure reducing valves/vaults have been installed as the system has expanded, which in turn define the boundaries of the pressure zones. As the system evolves, it is gener- ally a good idea to revisit the pressure zone development, identify potential changes and review improvements so the ultimate system provided is optimized. For example, the previous plan identified potential options for definition of the pressure zones. Now that a new water main has been installed and pressure reducing valve vaults have been placed, this boundary had changed slightly. As part of this update, a system wide contour map was updated to show parcels of land that can be served by the various pressure zones (see Appendix A - Figure A1). The high and low pressure zones are defined by the elevated water storage tanks that exist in these zones, with HGL’s of 1200 feet and 1120 feet respectively, these tanks maintain pressures of 40-80 psi to the majority of the service areas. The boundary of the high pressure zone has been clearly defined and does not have a very high potential to be changed or modified in the future. The low/main pressure zone, which is essentially the default pressure zone for the majority of the system, serves the remaining areas with the exception of the Lake Riley Pressure zone which is essentially a reduced pressure zone, served by PRVs from the main zone. In the past, this type of pressure zone had issues with large changes in flow. For example, when hydrants are flowed in this zone and shut off, pressure tends to bounce and transients are not very easily dissipated. This had resulted in water main breaks and water heater failure in some homes. In general, closed water pressure zones (without elevated storage or a standpipe) can experience difficulty with ma- jor flow changes as water is not compressible. When a valve is suddenly shut off (or a PRV throttled back), the wa- ter flowing in a corresponding pipe is suddenly forced to stop. Because of this, high pressure builds up immediately behind the shut off valve and low pressure forms in front of it. The momentum of the water is suddenly transferred into the physical system piping. As a result, a high-pressure region of water “piles up” in the pipe. This high pressure region then travels back along the pipe in the form of a wave. The border of the high-pressure zone is referred to as a pressure wave or transient. Such a pressure wave only exists for a short period of time, but can cause damage to piping and fittings. Transients are not very well understood and are not always accounted for in the design of a water distribution system. A previous comprehensive water plan identified five potential alternate water pressure zones, with two of the zones (Lake Riley and Interbluff) having similar hydraulic grade lines. In light of recent development and construction of new PRV facilities, a new pressure zone configuration was developed. The primary goal of the pressures zone restructuring was to sustain ideal pressures at all service elevations, simplify zone configurations and reduce the number of PRVs required to sustain pressure. Available Fire Flow Available fire flows were calculated using the computer model with a residual pressure of 20 psi. According to the American Water Works Association (AWWA), the minimum fire flow available at any given point in a system should not be less than 500 gpm at a residual pressure of 20 psi. This minimum criterion represents the amount of water required to provide for two standard hose streams on a fire in a typical residential area for residential dwell- ings with spacing greater than 100 feet. The distance between buildings and the corresponding recommended fire flow for residential areas is summarized in Table 8.8. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan215 Table 8.8 | Typical Fire Flow Requirements Land Use Building Separation (feet) Available fire flow @ 20 psi (gpm) Single & Two Family Residential >100 500 Single & Two Family Residential 30-100 750 Single & Two Family Residential 11-30 1,000 Single & Two Family Residential <10 1,500 Multiple Family Residential Complexes -2,000 to 3,000+ Average Density Commercial -1,500 to 2,500+ High Value Commercial -2,500 to 3,500+ Light Industrial -2,000 to 3,500 Heavy Industrial -2,500 to 3,500+ Source: Insurance Services Office For commercial and industrial buildings, the needed fire flow rate varies considerably and is based on several characteristics of individual buildings such as: »Type of construction »Type of business that is using the property (occupancy) »Proximity and characteristics of nearby properties »Presence or absence of a fire sprinkling system While the fire flow requirements of commercial and industrial properties should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, a general rule of thumb is that a municipal water system should aim to provide 3,500 gpm to this type of land use. The Insurance Services Office (ISO), in determining a City’s fire insurance classification, only considers flow rates up to 3,500 gpm. Available fire flows throughout the Chanhassen water system are highly variable due primarily to topographical changes. Available flow rates in the model range from about 500 gpm in some locations to greater than 5,000 gpm in others. Areas of potential concern include commercial, industrial or high-density residential land uses where the available flow rate at the water main is less than 3,500 gpm. The previous comprehensive water plan identified three distinct locations that had less than desirable available fire flow, as calculated by the water model. Since the previ- ous evaluation, improvements to the water system, including a new water tower have strengthened the water system. Subsequently, the areas of concern in relation to limited fire flow have been remedied. In short, major fire flow deficiencies were not identified as part of this analysis. However, this evaluation is not intended as a comprehensive building by building fire flow analysis, rather a comparison of computer modeling results with land uses across the existing water distribution system. 8.7 | Analysis of the Existing Water System Future sales and pumpage projections can be based on assumptions of water demands that can be expected accord- ing to future land use or population data. Two different means for water use demand projections are documented and compared below. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan216 Projected Water Demands - By Projected Population Previously in this report, per capita average day water use was calculated. The maximum for this figure for the past 5 years was found to be 139 gallons per day per person. This figure was then multiplied by projected population data. The resulting projected water average and max day demand data is shown below in Table 8.9.

This map provides for an assumption of future land uses for planning purposes. This projected map also provides for an opportunity to compare the change in land use acreage from exiting uses to projected uses. This information can then be utilized to estimate future water usage based on associated land use changes. Table 8.10 below documents land use changes estimated in the city’s most recent comprehensive plan and equated existing average day water use to existing land use. The estimate of average day water use per acre developed from historical data is then applied to future land use estimates.

In addition to normal water uses, system facilities are often sized for fire protection needs, including addi-tional storage facilities, water tanks and supply. Facilities (wells and a future west water treatment plant) and water mains are planned to expand and improve water delivery. The following sections of this report discuss the estimated need for future water system facilities, based on the demand projections presented in Table 8.11. Future Distribution System In Appendix A - Figure 7, a proposed trunk water main layout has been drawn as part of the future water sys- tem vision. The future mains include 12-inch loops helping to balance the future water system by allowing large volumes of water to flow between supply, storage and points of use. These trunk main loops will be required to effectively transport water to the extremities of the proposed expansion areas. Looping is recommended wherev- er possible to minimize dead-ends in the water system. Dead-ends or branched water systems are less reliable since water must come from one direction. This forces the utility to shut off water to some customers during repairs or maintenance. In addition, larger head losses (or pressure losses) are experienced on dead-ends than on looped systems. This can limit available flow rates during fire protec- tion activities. In addition to future system improvements, the existing system could be improved by eliminating dead ends that are relatively long or less than 8 inches in diameter. This work should be coordinated with future street replacement projects to reduce costs where possible. Due to the fact that much of the future service area on the south end of the city already contains residential devel- opment, it is difficult to provide trunk main looping to serve the proposed developments on the far south end of the future service area, such as those proposed between the Hennepin County Regional Trail Corridor and Flying Cloud Drive. The proposed distribution system serves these developments using long dead end mains for this reason. If possible, the city should consider looping these segments to improve system hydraulics. A connection may be possible on the eastern extent of the future main shown on Flying Cloud Drive to the proposed 12-inch main on Deerbrook Drive. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan219 Pressure Zones The Chanhassen water distribution system serves a range of elevations that prevents the entire system from being served on a single pressure zone. In order to keep pressures at acceptable levels throughout the system, there are currently three separate pressure zones in the system. The pressure zones are defined by different hydraulic grade, which allows pressures to remain in a more acceptable range. The pressure zone boundaries are shown on Appendix A - Figure 2. As part of the water comprehensive plan update, a review of the pressure zone boundaries was completed by ana- lyzing citywide land elevations with resulting reasonable pressures within each defined pressure zone. The result of this analysis is shown in Appendix A. In short, the current pressure zone plan could be optimized to simplify oper- ations. The map shown in Appendix A, Figure 8 is defined to show which pressure zone would be best suited to serve varying land elevations. In those areas that may have standard operating pressures that fall out of tolerance, individual PRVs could be installed if the water pressure in the street exceeds 80 psi. The largest zone is the low pressure zone, which is currently served by the east water treatment plant; wells 3, 4 and 9; and the Lake Lucy and Arboretum storage tanks. The hydraulic grade of this zone is determined by an overflow elevation of 1120 feet for the storage tanks. The high pressure zone is located roughly between Hazeltine Blvd. and Galpin Blvd., north of Arboretum Blvd. This zone is currently served by wells 7 and 8 and an elevated storage tank, Melody Hill, which has an overflow eleva- tion of 1200 feet. Future developments on the south end of town are at relatively low elevation compared with the rest of the city. As the distribution system expands into this area, the water pressure in the mains will need to be reduced through the use of pressure reducing valves, similar to the way in which the Lake Riley Pressure Zone is currently served. In light of recent development and construction of new PRV facilities, a new pressure zone configuration was de- veloped. The primary goal of the pressures zone restructuring was to sustain ideal pressures at all service elevations, simplify zone configurations and reduce the number of PRVs required. In the future, it appears that the existing Lake Riley Pressure Zone could be merged with the Interbluff Pressure Zone and served by a single elevated storage tank. Not only would this simplify system operations and reduce the reliance on PRV stations, but pressures in these zones would be sustained by a storage vessel which would ease pressure transients and better serve major changes in flow, reducing the possibility of pressure spikes. Appendix A - Figure 7, represents a potential location for an elevated storage tank for the new combined Interbluff/Lake Riley Pressure Zone. Future Supply Facilities Firm supply capacity, which is the amount of water that can be reliably supplied with the largest well out of service, should be greater than or equal to the maximum day demand. When projected maximum day demands reach firm capacity, it is an indication that additional water supply capacity is needed. The projected 2040 maximum day demand for Chanhassen is approximately 11,120 (16.0 MGD) gpm. As men- tioned in previous studies, the city should plan to serve the maximum day demand with firm capacity, defined here as the supply capacity with the largest distribution system well out of service and the largest well supplying the east water treatment plant out of service. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan220 The total system capacity with wells 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 14 will be 8,850 gpm. The firm capacity will be 7,450 gpm. To meet ultimate demand projections, there will be a well capacity need of approximately 3,700 (11,120 gpm – 7,450). Based on previous well capacities, that will equate to four additional wells to meet projected maxi- mum day demands. It is suggested that three additional wells serve the future west water plant while one additional well should be constructed to serve the east water treatment plant.

For many communities, fire protection needs tend to be the controlling factor when calculating needed storage volume. Table 8.13 shows the calculations used to determine future water storage volume requirements for the total system in Chanhassen. These calculations consider ultimate development of the proposed expansion areas. Water storage facilities should be able to supply the desired rate of fire flow for the required length of time during peak demands, when the water system is already impacted by other uses and with the largest pump out of service. The calculations in Table 8.13 assume that 75% of storage volume is available for firefighting, maximum day de- mands are occurring on the system and the well with the greatest capacity is out of service. It appears, based on the demand projections used here, that Chanhassen will need about 1.0 million gallons of future additional storage for the system as a whole. There is a trade-off between storage volume for fire protection and water quality. If the storage volume becomes too much greater than average day demands, it can result in longer tank residence times and increased water age. With age, water can lose its chlorine residual and develop taste and odor problems as well as a potential for bacterial contamination. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan221 Previously, 750,000 gallons of elevated storage was recommended for the high zone. Since this recommendation was made, the new 750,000 gallon tank has been constructed. With this tank in place, the projected additional storage need for the water system as a whole is around 1.0MG, which could be constructed in the main zone or as discussed later, in the proposed combine Interbluff Zone. Proposed locations for the future 1.0 MG tank is shown in Appendix A - Figure 7.

Much of the new development is expected to the south of the existing water system, where elevations decrease as discussed in previously sections. When PRVs are set in the model to correspond to the recommended hydraulic grades and are located as shown in Appendix A - Figure 7, pressures and available flows for fire protection appear to be adequate to support the proposed land uses, based on the criteria presented in Section 8.4. Extended Period Simulation As part of the previous comprehensive plan, an extended period simulation (EPS) was conducted using the model to analyze system operations during several days of maximum day demands. The primary purpose of this simulation was to check for cumulative system imbalances that are not evident in standard simulations and to verify if system operations can be maintained under high demand conditions. The locations of supply and storage facilities and the sizes of distribution system pipes contribute to imbalances. Considerable distances between supply and storage locations and inadequately sized water mains can contribute to a reduced storage-replenishment rate and the inability to refill the towers at night during low demand periods. Once again, we have conducted a 72-hour water model simulation to review the possible water tower site A loca- tion. We have simulated a 72-hour period with three consecutive maximum day (MD) demand conditions. This time period was chosen since most supply and distribution system deficiencies will be exposed in three days of operations with MD demands. For example, if tanks are unable to refill daily under high demand conditions, a City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan222 trend will emerge in tank level data produced by the EPS. The model was simulated with a new tank located at site A, feeding the combined Interbluff/Lake Riley zone. The simulation found that it is feasible to sustain water system pressures with this type of configuration. The existing main pressure zone tanks operate and float at similar water levels/water elevations while the proposed tank sustains more consistent pressures in the lower pressure zone. 8.9 | Conclusions and Recommendations Supply Environments Firm supply capacity (the supply capacity with the largest pump out of service) should be greater than maximum day demands. The city is currently in the midst of constructing the west water treatment plant, which is estimated to have a capacity equal to the recently constructed east water treatment plant (6,000 gpm). In order to fully utilize these two plants, it is estimated that four new wells will be necessary during the life of this plan to meet projected water demands based on projected development in the city. Distribution System Improvements Trunk main looping should be a priority in the expansion of the service area and in water main replacement projects. The proposed layout of trunk water mains in this report would provide water supply and fire protection capabilities to existing and projected service areas. In addition, recommended trunk mains will connect water supply and storage facilities with points of use on the system. The city can also work towards the eventual combination of the Lake Riley and Interbluff pressure zones, which may be the most ideal location for a new elevated storage tank. Storage Improvements The volume of water storage needed in Chanhassen is dictated by daily demands as well as fire protection. Current- ly, storage capacity is meeting system needs. Projected demands will create a need for one additional 1.0 MG elevated water storage tank over the life of this plan. A new concept, which places a new tank in the combined Lake Riley/Interbluff lower pressure zone which will help supply these pressure zones with water as well as stabilize system pressures. Report and Model Update This report should be reviewed on an annual basis. Changes in development type or densities can have significant impacts on a water system’s performance, especially during drought conditions or emergencies such as fires. A re- port update should be planned for approximately 5 to 10 years dependent on development pressure. The water system model produced as part of this project is a valuable tool in assisting with design and construction of Chanhassen water system components. It can be easily updated on an annual basis and used to evaluate the im- pacts of proposed developments or project phasing. A copy of the computer model will be provided to the city.

The goal of the WSP is to help water suppliers: 1) implement long term water sustainability and conservation measures; and 2) develop critical emergency preparedness measures. Your community needs to know what measures will be implemented in case of a water crisis. A lot of emergencies can be avoided or mitigated if long term sustainability measures are implemented. Groundwater Management Areas (GWMA) The DNR has designated three areas of the state as Groundwater Management Areas (GWMA) to focus groundwater management efforts in specific geographies where there is an added risk of overuse or water quality degradation. A plan directing the DNR’s actions within each GWMA has been prepared. Although there are no specific additional requirements with respect to the water supply planning for communities within designated GWMA, communities should be aware of the issues and actions planned if they are within the boundary of one of the GWMA. The three GWMA are the North and East Metro GWMA (Twin Cities Metro), the Bonanza Valley GWMA and the Straight River GWMA (near Park Rapids). Additional information and maps are included in the DNR webpage at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/gwmp/areas.html Benefits of completing a WSP Completing a WSP using this template, fulfills a water supplier’s statutory obligations under M.S. M.S.103G.291 to complete a water supply plan. For water suppliers in the metropolitan area, the WSP will help local governmental units to fulfill their requirements under M.S. 473.859 to complete a local comprehensive plan. Additional benefits of completing WSP template: •The standardized format allows for quicker and easier review and approval. •Help water suppliers prepare for droughts and water emergencies. •Create eligibility for funding requests to the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) for the Drinking Water Revolving Fund. •Allow water suppliers to submit requests for new wells or expanded capacity of existing wells. •Simplify the development of county comprehensive water plans and watershed plans. •Fulfill the contingency plan provisions required in the MDH wellhead protection and surface water protection plans. •Fulfill the demand reduction requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Section 103G.291 Subd. 3 and 4. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan241 Local Water Supply Plan 7 \\cfs5\cfs5\shared_data\eng\water supply plan (formerly water emergency conservation plan)\wsp chanhassen1981-5089 111816.docx •Upon implementation, contribute to maintaining aquifer levels, reducing potential well interference and water use conflicts, and reducing the need to drill new wells or expand system capacity. •Enable DNR to compile and analyze water use and conservation data to help guide decisions. •Conserve Minnesota’s water resources. If your community needs assistance completing the Water Supply Plan, assistance is available from your area hydrologist or groundwater specialist, the MN Rural Waters Association circuit rider program, or in the metropolitan area from Metropolitan Council staff. Many private consultants are also available. WSP Approval Process 10 Basic Steps for completing a 10-Year Water Supply Plan 1.Download the DNR/Metropolitan Council Water Supply Plan Template www.mndnr.gov/watersupplyplans 2.Save the document with a file name with this naming convention: WSP_cityname_permitnumber_date.doc. 3.The template is a form that should be completed electronically. 4.Compile the required water use data (Part 1) and emergency procedures information (Part 2). 5.The Water Conservation section (Part 3) may need discussion with the water department, council, or planning commission, if your community does not already have an active water conservation program. 6.Communities in the seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area should complete all the information discussed in Part 4. The Metropolitan Council has additional guidance information on their webpage http://www.metrocouncil.org/Handbook/Plan-Elements/Water- Resources/Water-Supply.aspx. All out-state water suppliers do not need to complete the content addressed in Part 4. 7.Use the Plan instructions and Checklist document to insure all data is complete and attachments are included. This will allow for a quicker approval process. www.mndnr.gov/watersupplyplans 8.Plans should be submitted electronically – no paper documents are required. https://webapps11.dnr.state.mn.us/mpars/public/authentication/login 9.DNR hydrologist will review plans (in cooperation with Metropolitan Council in Metro area) and approve the plan or make recommendations. 10.Once approved, communities should complete a Certification of Adoption form, and send a copy to the DNR.

D.Future Demand Projections – Key Metropolitan Council Benchmark Water Use Trends Use the data in Table 2 to describe trends in 1) population served; 2) total per capita water demand; 3) average daily demand; 4) maximum daily demand. Then explain the causes for upward or downward trends. For example, over the ten years has the average daily demand trended up or down? Why is this occurring? City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan249 Local Water Supply Plan 15 \\cfs5\cfs5\shared_data\eng\water supply plan (formerly water emergency conservation plan)\wsp chanhassen1981-5089 111816.docx From 2005 to 2015, the City of Chanhassen has seen about a 12.5% increase in population. Over this same period, the average daily demand has been relatively flat with a slight decrease over the past 3 years. The maximum daily demand has seen a slight decrease over the last 10 years. Over the past 5 years, the summer months has seen above average precipitation. Water use, especially maximum daily demand, is highly dependent on summer climate conditions. Along with water conservation initiatives and more efficiencies to the system, the water use trend has been flat and is projected to remain flat unless precipitation amounts during the summer months dramatically decrease. Use the water use trend information discussed above to complete Table 7 with projected annual demand for the next ten years. Communities in the seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area must also include projections for 2030 and 2040 as part of their local comprehensive planning. Projected demand should be consistent with trends evident in the historical data in Table 2, as discussed above. Projected demand should also reflect state demographer population projections and/or other planning projections. Table 7.

The City anticipates the average water use per capita projections to remain relatively flat. Business use should increase slightly but remain relatively flat due to greater efficiencies. The City is anticipating water reuse irrigation systems will be used more in the future which should help reduce peak demands.

If known, provide the name of specific resources that may be impacted. Identify what the greatest risks to the resource are and how the risks are being assessed. Identify any resource protection thresholds – formal or informal – that have been established to identify when actions should be taken to mitigate impacts. Provide information about the potential mitigation actions that may be taken, if a resource protection threshold is crossed. Add additional rows to the table as needed. See the glossary at the end of the template for definitions. Some of this baseline data should have been in your earlier water supply plans or county comprehensive water plans. When filling out this table, think of what are the water supply risks, identify the resources, determine the threshold and then determine what your community will do to mitigate the impacts. Your DNR area hydrologist is available to assist with this table.

Emergency Preparedness Procedures The emergency preparedness procedures outlined in this plan are intended to comply with the contingency plan provisions required by MDH in the WHP and SWP. Water emergencies can occur as a result of vandalism, sabotage, accidental contamination, mechanical problems, power failings, drought, flooding, and other natural disasters. The purpose of emergency planning is to develop emergency response procedures and to identify actions needed to improve emergency preparedness. In the case of a municipality, these procedures should be in support of, and part of, an all-hazard emergency operations plan. Municipalities that already have written procedures dealing with water emergencies should review the following information and update existing procedures to address these water supply protection measures. A.Federal Emergency Response Plan Section 1433(b) of the Safe Drinking Water Act, (Public Law 107-188, Title IV- Drinking Water Security and Safety) requires community water suppliers serving over 3,300 people to prepare an Emergency Response Plan. Do you have a federal emergency response plan? ☐ Yes ☒ No If yes, what was the date it was certified? ____________________ Complete Table 15 by inserting the noted information regarding your completed Federal Emergency Response Plan.

Do you have a written operational contingency plan? ☐ Yes ☒ No At a minimum, a water supplier should prepare and maintain an emergency contact list of contractors and suppliers. C.Emergency Response Procedures Water suppliers must meet the requirements of MN Rules 4720.5280. Accordingly, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) requires public water suppliers serving more than 1,000 people to submit Emergency and Conservation Plans. Water emergency and conservation plans that have been approved by the DNR, under provisions of Minnesota Statute 186 and Minnesota Rules, Part 6115.0770, will be considered equivalent to an approved WHP contingency plan.

A template is available at www.mndnr.gov/watersupplyplans The list should include key utility and community personnel, contacts in adjacent water suppliers, and appropriate local, state and federal emergency contacts. Please be sure to verify and update the contacts on the emergency telephone list and date it. Thereafter, update on a regular basis (once a year is recommended). In the case of a municipality, this information should be contained in a notification and warning standard operating procedure maintained by the Emergency Manager for that community. Responsibilities and services for each contact should be defined. Current Water Sources and Service Area Quick access to concise and detailed information on water sources, water treatment, and the distribution system may be needed in an emergency. System operation and maintenance records should be maintained in secured central and back-up locations so that the records are accessible for emergency purposes. A detailed map of the system showing the treatment plants, water sources, storage facilities, supply lines, interconnections, and other information that would be useful in an emergency should also be readily available. It is critical that public water supplier representatives and emergency response personnel communicate about the response procedures and be able to easily obtain this kind of information both in electronic and hard copy formats (in case of a power outage). Do records and maps exist? ☒ Yes  No Can staff access records and maps from a central secured location in the event of an emergency? ☒Yes  No Does the appropriate staff know where the materials are located? ☒Yes  No Procedure for Augmenting Water Supplies Complete Tables 16 – 17 by listing all available sources of water that can be used to augment or replace existing sources in an emergency. Add rows to the tables as needed. In the case of a municipality, this information should be contained in a notification and warning standard operating procedure maintained by the warning point for that community. Municipalities are encouraged to execute cooperative agreements for potential emergency water services and copies should be included in Appendix 6. Outstate communities may consider using nearby high capacity wells (industry, golf course) as emergency water sources. WSP should include information on any physical or chemical problems that may limit interconnections to other sources of water. Approvals from the MDH are required for interconnections or the reuse of water.

For longer term water disruptions, bulk water distribution sites would need to be set up. Local forces would take the lead on this effort. For a regional long-term water disruption, the National Guard would need to be utilized. Use of the National Guard would be requested through the Governor. Allocation and Demand Reduction Procedures Complete Table 18 by adding information about how decisions will be made to allocate water and reduce demand during an emergency. Provide information for each customer category, including its priority ranking, average day demand, and demand reduction potential for each customer category. Modify the customer categories as needed, and add additional lines if necessary. Water use categories should be prioritized in a way that is consistent with Minnesota Statutes 103G.261 (#1 is highest priority) as follows: 1.Water use for human needs such as cooking, cleaning, drinking, washing and waste disposal; use for on-farm livestock watering; and use for power production that meets contingency requirements. 2.Water use involving consumption of less than 10,000 gallons per day (usually from private wells or surface water intakes).

Lower priority uses will need to address water used for human needs at other types of facilities such as hotels, office buildings, and manufacturing plants. The volume of water and other types of water uses at these facilities must be carefully considered. After reviewing the data, common sense should dictate local allocation priorities to protect domestic requirements over certain types of economic needs. Water use for lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf courses, and recreation are legislatively considered non-essential. Table 18. Water use priorities Customer Category Allocation Priority Average Daily Demand (GPD) Short-Term Emergency Demand Reduction Potential (GPD) Residential 1 1,948,651 1,550,000 Institutional 2 26,987 24,000 Commercial 3 298,121 252,000 Industrial 4 187,876 161,000 Irrigation 6 390,031 0 Wholesale 5 11,396 6,000 Non-Essential 7 16,938 7,000 TOTAL NA 2,880,000 2,000,000 GPD – Gallons Per Day Tip: Calculating Emergency Demand Reduction Potential The emergency demand reduction potential for all uses will typically equal the difference between maximum use (summer demand) and base use (winter demand). In extreme emergency situations, lower priority water uses must be restricted or eliminated to protect priority domestic water requirements. Emergency demand reduction potential should be based on average day demands for customer categories within each priority class.

WATER CONSERVATION PLAN Minnesotans have historically benefited from the state’s abundant water supplies, reducing the need for conservation. There are however, limits to the available supplies of water and increasing threats to the quality of our drinking water. Causes of water supply limitation may include: population increases, economic trends, uneven statewide availability of groundwater, climatic changes, and degraded water quality. Examples of threats to drinking water quality include: the presence of contaminant plumes from past land use activities, exceedances of water quality standards from natural and human sources, contaminants of emerging concern, and increasing pollutant trends from nonpoint sources. There are many incentives for conserving water; conservation: •reduces the potential for pumping-induced transfer of contaminants into the deeper aquifers, which can add treatment costs •reduces the need for capital projects to expand system capacity •reduces the likelihood of water use conflicts, like well interference, aquatic habitat loss, and declining lake levels •conserves energy, because less energy is needed to extract, treat and distribute water (and less energy production also conserves water since water is use to produce energy) •maintains water supplies that can then be available during times of drought It is therefore imperative that water suppliers implement water conservation plans. The first step in water conservation is identifying opportunities for behavioral or engineering changes that could be made to reduce water use by conducting a thorough analysis of: •Water use by customer •Extraction, treatment, distribution and irrigation system efficiencies •Industrial processing system efficiencies •Regulatory and barriers to conservation •Cultural barriers to conservation •Water reuse opportunities Once accurate data is compiled, water suppliers can set achievable goals for reducing water use. A successful water conservation plan follows a logical sequence of events. The plan should address both conservation on the supply side (leak detection and repairs, metering), as well as on the demand side (reductions in usage). Implementation should be conducted in phases, starting with the most obvious and lowest-cost options. In some cases one of the early steps will be reviewing regulatory constraints to water conservation, such as lawn irrigation requirements. Outside funding and grants may be available for implementation of projects. Engage water system operators and maintenance staff and customers in brainstorming opportunities to reduce water use. Ask the question: “How can I help save water?” Progress since 2006 Is this your community’s first Water Supply Plan?  Yes ☒ No Priority 1: Significant water reduction; low cost Priority 2: Slight water reduction, low costs (low hanging fruit) Priority 2: Significant water reduction; significant costs Priority 3: Slight water reduction, significant costs (do only if necessary) City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan272 Local Water Supply Plan 38 \\cfs5\cfs5\shared_data\eng\water supply plan (formerly water emergency conservation plan)\wsp chanhassen1981-5089 111816.docx If yes, describe conservation practices that you are already implementing, such as: pricing, system improvements, education, regulation, appliance retrofitting, enforcement, etc. If no, complete Table 21 to summarize conservation actions taken since the adoption of the 2006 water supply plan.

The City has had a conservation water rate structure in place for over 10 years. The City has been progressively increasing the top tears of the water rates over the past 5 years. The City has also been aggressive in finding leaks in the public distribution system. This year with the help of a Met. Council grant, the City has started a rebate program for high efficiency appliances and smart irrigation systems. Since 2007, the City has also had an active education program to promote the smart use of water. Also since 2007, the City has offered a no-charge irrigation audit to residents, homeowners associations and businesses. It has been somewhat difficult to quantify the effectiveness of these programs since precipitation over the last past 5 years summers have been above average. The City has seen a flat usage during the City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan273 Local Water Supply Plan 39 \\cfs5\cfs5\shared_data\eng\water supply plan (formerly water emergency conservation plan)\wsp chanhassen1981-5089 111816.docx winter months even with the community growth.

Conservation Objectives and Strategies – Key Benchmark For DNR This section establishes water conservation objectives and strategies for eight major areas of water use. Objective 1: Reduce Unaccounted (Non-Revenue) Water Loss to Less Than 10% The Minnesota Rural Waters Association, the Metropolitan Council and the Department of Natural Resources recommend that all water uses be metered. Metering can help identify high use locations and times, along with leaks within buildings that have multiple meters. It is difficult to quantify specific unmetered water use such as that associated with firefighting and system flushing or system leaks. Typically, water suppliers subtract metered water use from total water pumped to calculate unaccounted or non-revenue water loss. Is your ten-year average (2005-2014) unaccounted Water Use in Table 2 higher than 10%? ☒ Yes  No What is your leak detection monitoring schedule? (e.g. monitor 1/2 of the city lines per year) The City hires a leak detection service to bi-annually monitor about 1/2 of the cities distribution system. Water Audits - Are intended to identify, quantify and verify water and revenue losses. The volume of unaccounted-for water should be evaluated each billing cycle. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) recommends that ten percent or less of pumped water is unaccounted-for water. Water audit procedures are available from the AWWA and MN Rural Water Association www.mrwa.com. Drinking Water Revolving Loan Funds are available for purchase of new meters when new plants are built. What is the date of your most recent water audit? The City annual reviews unaccounted for water with the DNR annual report. Frequency of water audits: ☒ yearly ☐ other (specify frequency) Newer meters are installed at all large water consumers locations. The City is actively replacing older water meters as radios fail or their utility services are required. Leak detection and survey: ☒ every year  every other year periodic as needed Year last leak detection survey completed: 2014 If Table 2 shows annual water losses over 10% or an increasing trend over time, describe what actions will be taken to reach the <10% loss objective and within what timeframe. Metering - AWWA recommends that every water supplier install meters to account for all water taken into its system, along with all water distributed from its system at each customer’s point of service. An effective metering program relies upon periodic performance testing, repair, maintenance or City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan275 Local Water Supply Plan 41 \\cfs5\cfs5\shared_data\eng\water supply plan (formerly water emergency conservation plan)\wsp chanhassen1981-5089 111816.docx replacement of all meters. AWWA also recommends that water suppliers conduct regular water audits to ensure accountability. Some cities install separate meters for interior and exterior water use, but some research suggests that this may not result in water conservation.

Objective 3: Achieve at least a 1.5% per year water reduction for Institutional, Industrial, Commercial, and Agricultural GPCD over the next 10 years or a 15% reduction in ten years. Complete Table 26 by checking which strategies you will used to continue reducing non-residential customer use demand and project a likely timeframe for completing each checked strategy (add rows for additional strategies). Where possible, substitute recycled water used in one process for reuse in another. (For example, spent rinse water can often be reused in a cooling tower.) Keep in mind the true cost of water is the amount on the water bill PLUS the expenses to heat, cool, treat, pump, and dispose of/discharge the water. Don’t just calculate the initial investment. Many conservation retrofits that appear to be prohibitively expensive are actually very cost-effective when amortized over the life of the equipment. Often reducing water use also saves electrical and other utility costs. Note: As of 2015, water reuse, and is not allowed by the state plumbing code, M.R. 4715 (a variance is needed). However several state agencies are addressing this issue. Table 26.

This infrastructure includes new wells, new water towers which can be costly items. Objective 6: Implement a Conservation Water Rate Structure and/or a Uniform Rate Structure with a Water Conservation Program City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan280 Local Water Supply Plan 46 \\cfs5\cfs5\shared_data\eng\water supply plan (formerly water emergency conservation plan)\wsp chanhassen1981-5089 111816.docx Water Conservation Program Municipal water suppliers serving over 1,000 people are required to adopt demand reduction measures that include a conservation rate structure, or a uniform rate structure with a conservation program that achieves demand reduction. These measures must achieve demand reduction in ways that reduce water demand, water losses, peak water demands, and nonessential water uses. These measures must be approved before a community may request well construction approval from the Department of Health or before requesting an increase in water appropriations permit volume (Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.291, Subd. 3 and 4). Rates should be adjusted on a regular basis to ensure that revenue of the system is adequate under reduced demand scenarios. If a municipal water supplier intends to use a Uniform Rate Structure, a community-wide Water Conservation Program that will achieve demand reduction must be provided. Current Water Rates Include a copy of the actual rate structure in Appendix 9 or list current water rates including base/service fees and volume charges below.

This rate should be set to cover the full cost of service. o The third tier should be above the average annual use and should be priced high enough to encourage conservation, as should any higher tiers. For this to be effective, the difference in block rates should be significant. •Seasonal rate: higher rates in summer to reduce peak demands. •Time of Use rates: lower rates for off peak water use. •Bill water use in gallons: this allows customers to compare their use to average rates. •Individualized goal rates: typically used for industry, business or other large water users to promote water conservation if they keep within agreed upon goals. Excess Use rates: if water use goes above an agreed upon amount this higher rate is charged. •Drought surcharge: an extra fee is charged for guaranteed water use during drought. •Use water bill to provide comparisons: simple graphics comparing individual use over time or compare individual use to others. •Service charge or base fee that does not include a water volume – a base charge or fee to cover universal city expenses that are not customer dependent and/or to provide minimal water at a lower rate (e.g., an amount less than the average residential per capita demand for the water supplier for the last 5 years). •Emergency rates -A community may have a separate conservation rate that only goes into effect when the community or governor declares a drought emergency. These higher rates can help to protect the city budgets during times of significantly less water usage. **Conservation Neutral** •Uniform rate: rate per unit used is the same regardless of the volume used. •Odd/even day watering –This approach reduces peak demand on a daily basis for system operation, but it does not reduce overall water use. *** Non-Conserving *** •Service charge or base fee with water volume: an amount of water larger than the average residential per capita demand for the water supplier for the last 5 years. •Declining block rate: the rate per unit used decreases as water use increases. •Flat rate: one fee regardless of how much water is used (usually unmetered).

If intending to adopt a conservation rate structure, include the timeframe to do so: N/A Objective 7: Additional strategies to Reduce Water Use and Support Wellhead Protection Planning Development and redevelopment projects can provide additional water conservation opportunities, such as the actions listed below. If a Uniform Rate Structure is in place, the water supplier must provide a Water Conservation Program that includes at least two of the actions listed below. Check those actions that you intent to implement within the next 10 years. Table 28. Additional Strategies to Reduce Water Use & Support Wellhead Protection  Participate in the GreenStep Cities Program, including implementation of at least one of the 20 “Best Practices” for water  Prepare a Master Plan for Smart Growth (compact urban growth that avoids sprawl) Prepare a Comprehensive Open Space Plan (areas for parks, green spaces, natural areas)  Adopt a Water Use Restriction Ordinance (lawn irrigation, car washing, pools, etc.)  Adopt an Outdoor Lawn Irrigation Ordinance  Adopt a Private well Ordinance (private wells in a city must comply with water restrictions) Implement a Stormwater Management Program Adopt Non-Zoning Wetlands Ordinance (can further protect wetlands beyond state/federal laws-for vernal pools, buffer areas, restrictions on filling or alterations)  Adopt a Water Offset Program (primarily for new development or expansion) Implement a Water Conservation Outreach Program  Hire a Water Conservation Coordinator (part-time) Implement a Rebate program for water efficient appliances, fixtures, or outdoor water management Other: In 2016 the City will be replacing traditional irrigation controllers with a central, weather-based controller, WaterSense certified by the EPA for all city-irrigated parks and greenspace. The City is also conducting studies on areas within the City where stormwater re- use projects can be implemented, both public and private. The City has adopted an ordinance to require 6” of topsoil for new developments. This ordinance also include requiring the builder to deposit cash escrow with the City and have the City inspect the yard before sod is installed. Objective 8: Tracking Success: How will you track or measure success through the next ten years? The City will continue to track per capita water use as well as trends in high-user consumption and commercial/industrial use, taking annual precipitation data and trends into account. Trends are then to be studied, and conservation programs and efforts that should be adjusted accordingly. Discussions with the District Hydrologist will also be incorporated as needed. Recommendations will then be made to City Council for implementation.

The Water Supply Plan, Part 3 tables and responses will guide the discussion. For example, they will discuss efforts to reduce unaccounted for water loss if that is a problem, or go through Tables 33, 34 and 35 to discuss new initiatives. c)The city representative and the hydrologist will discuss total per capita water use, residential per capita water use, and business/industry use. They will note trends. d)They will also discuss options for improvement and/or collect case studies of success stories to share with other communities. One option may be to change the rate structure, but there are many other paths to successful water conservation. e)If appropriate, they will cooperatively develop a simple work plan for the next few years, targeting a couple areas where the city might focus efforts.

B.Retrofitting Programs Education and incentive programs aimed at replacing inefficient plumbing fixtures and appliances can help reduce per capita water use, as well as energy costs. It is recommended that municipal water suppliers develop a long-term plan to retrofit public buildings with water efficient plumbing fixtures and appliances. Some water suppliers have developed partnerships with organizations having similar conservation goals, such as electric or gas suppliers, to develop cooperative rebate and retrofit programs. A study by the AWWA Research Foundation (Residential End Uses of Water, 1999) found that the average indoor water use for a non-conserving home is 69.3 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). The average indoor water use in a conserving home is 45.2 gpcd and most of the decrease in water use is related to water efficient plumbing fixtures and appliances that can reduce water, sewer and energy costs. In Minnesota, certain electric and gas providers are required (Minnesota Statute 216B.241) to fund programs that will conserve energy resources and some utilities have distributed water efficient showerheads to customers to help reduce energy demands required to supply hot water. Retrofitting Programs Complete Table 30 by checking which water uses are targeted, the outreach methods used, the measures used to identify success, and any participating partners. Table 30.

ITEMS FOR METROPOLITAN AREA COMMUNITIES Minnesota Statute 473.859 requires WSPs to be completed for all local units of government in the seven-county Metropolitan Area as part of the local comprehensive planning process. Much of the information in Parts 1-3 addresses water demand for the next 10 years. However, additional information is needed to address water demand through 2040, which will make the WSP consistent with the Metropolitan Land Use Planning Act, upon which the local comprehensive plans are based. This Part 4 provides guidance to complete the WSP in a way that addresses plans for water supply through 2040. A.Water Demand Projections through 2040 Complete Table 7 in Part 1D by filling in information about long-term water demand projections through 2040. Total Community Population projections should be consistent with the community’s system statement, which can be found on the Metropolitan Council’s website and which was sent to the community in September 2015. Projected Average Day, Maximum Day, and Annual Water Demands may either be calculated using the method outlined in Appendix 2 of the 2015 Master Water Supply Plan or by a method developed by the individual water supplier. B.Potential Water Supply Issues Complete Table 10 in Part 1E by providing information about the potential water supply issues in your community, including those that might occur due to 2040 projected water use. The Master Water Supply Plan provides information about potential issues for your community in Appendix 1 (Water Supply Profiles). This resource may be useful in completing Table 10. You may document results of local work done to evaluate impact of planned uses by attaching a feasibility assessment or providing a citation and link to where the plan is available electronically. C.Proposed Alternative Approaches to Meet Extended Water Demand Projections Complete Table 12 in Part 1F with information about potential water supply infrastructure impacts (such as replacements, expansions or additions to wells/intakes, water storage and treatment capacity, distribution systems, and emergency interconnections) of extended plans for development and redevelopment, in 10-year increments through 2040. It may be useful to refer to information in the community’s local Land Use Plan, if available. Complete Table 14 in Part 1F by checking each approach your community is considering to meet future demand. For each approach your community is considering, provide information about the amount of City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan290 Local Water Supply Plan 56 \\cfs5\cfs5\shared_data\eng\water supply plan (formerly water emergency conservation plan)\wsp chanhassen1981-5089 111816.docx future water demand to be met using that approach, the timeframe to implement the approach, potential partners, and current understanding of the key benefits and challenges of the approach. As challenges are being discussed, consider the need for: evaluation of geologic conditions (mapping, aquifer tests, modeling), identification of areas where domestic wells could be impacted, measurement and analysis of water levels & pumping rates, triggers & associated actions to protect water levels, etc. D.Value-Added Water Supply Planning Efforts (Optional) The following information is not required to be completed as part of the local water supply plan, but completing this can help strengthen source water protection throughout the region and help Metropolitan Council and partners in the region to better support local efforts.

Average Daily Demand - The total water pumped during the year divided by 365 days. Calcareous Fen - Calcareous fens are rare and distinctive wetlands dependent on a constant supply of cold groundwater. Because they are dependent on groundwater and are one of the rarest natural communities in the United States, they are a protected resource in MN. Approximately 200 have been located in Minnesota. They may not be filled, drained or otherwise degraded. Commercial/Institutional Water Use - Water used by motels, hotels, restaurants, office buildings, commercial facilities and institutions (both civilian and military). Consider maintaining separate institutional water use records for emergency planning and allocation purposes. Water used by multi- family dwellings, apartment buildings, senior housing complexes, and mobile home parks should be reported as Residential Water Use. Commercial/Institutional/Industrial (C/I/I) Water Sold - The sum of water delivered for commercial/ institutional or industrial purposes. Conservation Rate Structure - A rate structure that encourages conservation and may include increasing block rates, seasonal rates, time of use rates, individualized goal rates, or excess use rates. If a conservation rate is applied to multifamily dwellings, the rate structure must consider each residential unit as an individual user. A community may have a separate conservation rate that only goes into effect when the community or governor declares a drought emergency. These higher rates can help to protect the city budgets during times of significantly less water usage. Date of Maximum Daily Demand - The date of the maximum (highest) water demand. Typically this is a day in July or August. Declining Rate Structure - Under a declining block rate structure, a consumer pays less per additional unit of water as usage increases. This rate structure does not promote water conservation. Distribution System - Water distribution systems consist of an interconnected series of pipes, valves, storage facilities (water tanks, water towers, reservoirs), water purification facilities, pumping stations, flushing hydrants, and components that convey drinking water and meeting fire protection needs for cities, homes, schools, hospitals, businesses, industries and other facilities. Flat Rate Structure - Flat fee rates do not vary by customer characteristics or water usage. This rate structure does not promote water conservation. Industrial Water Use - Water used for thermonuclear power (electric utility generation) and other industrial use such as steel, chemical and allied products, paper and allied products, mining, and petroleum refining.

These fixtures and appliances use just enough water to be effective, saving excess, clean drinking water that usually goes down the drain. Maximum Daily Demand - The maximum (highest) amount of water used in one day. Metered Residential Connections - The number of residential connections to the water system that have meters. For multifamily dwellings, report each residential unit as an individual user. Percent Unmetered/Unaccounted For - Unaccounted for water use is the volume of water withdrawn from all sources minus the volume of water delivered. This value represents water “lost” by miscalculated water use due to inaccurate meters, water lost through leaks, or water that is used but unmetered or otherwise undocumented. Water used for public services such as hydrant flushing, ice skating rinks, and public swimming pools should be reported under the category “Water Supplier Services”. Population Served - The number of people who are served by the community’s public water supply system. This includes the number of people in the community who are connected to the public water supply system, as well as people in neighboring communities who use water supplied by the community’s public water supply system. It should not include residents in the community who have private wells or get their water from neighboring water supply. Residential Connections - The total number of residential connections to the water system. For multifamily dwellings, report each residential unit as an individual user. Residential Per Capita Demand - The total residential water delivered during the year divided by the population served divided by 365 days. Residential Water Use - Water used for normal household purposes such as drinking, food preparation, bathing, washing clothes and dishes, flushing toilets, and watering lawns and gardens. Should include all water delivered to single family private residences, multi-family dwellings, apartment buildings, senior housing complexes, mobile home parks, etc. Smart Meter - Smart meters can be used by municipalities or by individual homeowners. Smart metering generally indicates the presence of one or more of the following: •Smart irrigation water meters are controllers that look at factors such as weather, soil, slope, etc. and adjust watering time up or down based on data. Smart controllers in a typical summer will reduce water use by 30%-50%. Just changing the spray nozzle to new efficient models can reduce water use by 40%. •Smart Meters on customer premises that measure consumption during specific time periods and communicate it to the utility, often on a daily basis. •A communication channel that permits the utility, at a minimum, to obtain meter reads on demand, to ascertain whether water has recently been flowing through the meter and onto the City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan293 Local Water Supply Plan 59 \\cfs5\cfs5\shared_data\eng\water supply plan (formerly water emergency conservation plan)\wsp chanhassen1981-5089 111816.docx premises, and to issue commands to the meter to perform specific tasks such as disconnecting or restricting water flow. Total Connections - The number of connections to the public water supply system. Total Per Capita Demand - The total amount of water withdrawn from all water supply sources during the year divided by the population served divided by 365 days. Total Water Pumped - The cumulative amount of water withdrawn from all water supply sources during the year. Total Water Delivered - The sum of residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, water supplier services, wholesale and other water delivered. Ultimate (Full Build-Out) - Time period representing the community’s estimated total amount and location of potential development, or when the community is fully built out at the final planned density. Unaccounted (Non-revenue) Loss - See definitions for “percent unmetered/unaccounted for loss”. Uniform Rate Structure - A uniform rate structure charges the same price-per-unit for water usage beyond the fixed customer charge, which covers some fixed costs. The rate sends a price signal to the customer because the water bill will vary by usage. Uniform rates by class charge the same price-per- unit for all customers within a customer class (e.g. residential or non-residential). This price structure is generally considered less effective in encouraging water conservation. Water Supplier Services - Water used for public services such as hydrant flushing, ice skating rinks, public swimming pools, city park irrigation, back-flushing at water treatment facilities, and/or other uses. Water Used for Nonessential Purposes - Water used for lawn irrigation, golf course and park irrigation, car washes, ornamental fountains, and other non-essential uses. Wholesale Deliveries - The amount of water delivered in bulk to other public water suppliers.

In 2014 the City upgraded all meter radios to “smart” meter technology which is a fixed based system. This system allows the City to notify consumers if a possible leak is detected. The City is in the process of replacing older domestic meters. The City has also installed several new well mag meters. The City annually inspects sections of town for leaks which has proven effective. Conservation and public education also continues to be fostered by WaterWise rebate programs and in unique ways like irrigation audits and expanded water re-use in new construction. The City has partnered with the watershed district on installing a water reuse irrigation system at Chanhassen High School which will be constructed in 20017. The City planning to install a water reuse system for the Lake Susan baseball field in 2018. The City is also looking at water reuse system for the downtown which would be installed with a street reconstruction project in 2012. Chanhassen will move forward using all available methods and best practices toward water sustainability into the future.

It is bordered on the east by the City of Eden Prairie; on the north by Shorewood; and on the west by Victoria and Chaska. Its southern border is the Minnesota River. The City has land in four watersheds: the Carver WMO, Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek, Minnehaha Creek, and the Lower Minnesota River Watershed Districts. This Local Water Management Plan (LWMP) was prepared in conformance with Minnesota Statutes 103B.235 and Minnesota Rules 8410. This plan is intended to provide the City of Chanhassen with information and direction in the administration and implementation of water resource management activities within the City during the period 2018-2027. It serves as a guide to projects, provides for effective allocation of resources, and sets forth a funding plan for projects and programs over the next 5 to 10 years. A number of water resources-related problems, issues and requirements were identified in this planning process. These include: •The reissue of the State of Minnesota’s NPDES General Stormwater Permit in 2013 requires local governments such as Chanhassen to adopt and enforce standards and ordinances for development and redevelopment which limits stormwater runoff from sites over one acre in size. •New or expanded maintenance and administrative responsibilities are required in the NPDES permit to control runoff and protect and improve water quality from City owned or maintained land. •All 4 WMO’s are updating their 10 year Comprehensive Plans. The City is required to amend their LWMP to be consistent with each WMO •In order to maintain and/or obtain primary responsibility for managing local water resources additional ordinance revisions are required. The alternative is to defer the authority to the local WMO •Some of the lakes and streams in the City do not meet the state’s water quality standards for recreation and aquatic life. •Stream gullies and escarpments are contributing excess sediment into Bluff Creek and the Minnesota River. The LWMP updates the City’s goals and related policies to address the problems and issues that were evaluated for the updated LWMP. The goals are as follows: City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan320 Executive Summary Page | v Implementation This LWMP includes an Implementation Plan to help achieve those goals through capital projects, management programs, and operations and maintenance activities. Capital Projects. The Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek WD has completed Use Attainability Assessments (UAAs) and/or Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) studies for some of the waterbodies in the City. These studies have identified potential actions that could help protect or improve water quality. The City evaluates partnership opportunities with the Districts to undertake priority projects as project plans develop. In addition, the City has been systematically surveying the condition of storm drainage system features. These condition assessments have identified a number of potential improvement projects, and priority actions are included in the Implementation Plan. The Implementation Plan also includes projects to install water quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) with street or other construction projects. Management Programs. The City operates several programs that directly or indirectly affect water resources, including a Public Education and Outreach program. A variety of social and traditional media are also used to inform and educate citizens. City and partnership events, workshops and festivals provide additional opportunities for education. The City of Chanhassen collaborates with the Metropolitan Council to participate in its Citizen Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP). Volunteer residents take samples from the following lakes: Lake Lucy, Lake Minnewashta, Lake Riley, Lake St. Joe, Lake Susan, and Lotus Lake. Aquatic Invasive Species management is implemented through a partnership with Carver County WMO, Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District, and local Lake Associations. Operations and Maintenance Activities. The City undertakes a variety of operations and maintenance actions, including actions required by its NPDES MS4 Permit. These include ongoing water body inventory and condition assessments, erosion control monitoring, street sweeping, stormwater system inspection, maintenance and repairs, road salt management, and a general education and outreach program. Goal 1.Promote abstraction through infiltration, reuse and other methods where practicable to do so to provide flood protection, ground water recharge and improved water quality. Goal 2. Achieve water quality standards in lakes, streams, and wetlands consistent with their designated uses and established classifications. Goal 3. Protect and rehabilitate wetlands to maintain or improve their function and value. Goal 4. Prevent contamination of the aquifers and promote groundwater recharge to maintain base flows in streams and wetlands. Goal 5. Maintain primary responsibility for managing water resources at the local level and continue coordination and cooperation with other agencies and organizations. Goal 6. Cultivate an environmentally literate public to promote an active community role in sustainable management of water resources. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan321 Executive Summary Page | vi Plan Updates Section 6 of this Plan sets forth a process to update the LWMP in response to city operations, budget planning, work requirements or WMO plan revisions. The Implementation Plan and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) will be reviewed and updated periodically by the City as needed based on new information or as new opportunities and requirements arise. At a minimum, the CIP will be updated biannually. Major issues that result in potential significant revisions to the LWMP will be forwarded to the Watershed Districts and WMO for discussion and review to determine if the LWMP will require a formal update. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan322 Page | vii Figure 1.1. City of Chanhassen in located in the Twin Cities Metro Area, Minnesota. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan323 Page | 1-1 1.0 Introduction and Purpose 1.1 PURPOSE OF PLAN The City of Chanhassen is located in Carver County within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area (Figure 1.1). This Local Water Management Plan (LWMP) describes how the City of Chanhassen will fulfill the requirements of Minnesota Statutes 103B.235 and Minnesota Rules 8410 in the management of the water resources within the city during the period 2018-2027. It is a summary of the city’s management goals and policies, and strategies, including a capital improvement program and review of local policies and ordinances. Minnesota Statutes 103B.231 establishes the purposes of water management planning in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area as to: 1.Protect, preserve, and use natural surface and groundwater storage and retention systems 2.Minimize public capital expenditures needed to correct flooding and water quality problems 3.Identify and plan for means to effectively protect and improve surface and groundwater quality 4.Establish more uniform local policies and official controls for surface and groundwater management 5.Prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems 6.Promote groundwater recharge 7.Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities 8.Secure the other benefits associated with the proper management of surface and ground water Minnesota statutes and administrative rules also require that city management of its water resources be consistent with the requirements of the four watershed districts having land within its borders: Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District; Minnehaha Creek Watershed District; Carver County WMO; and the Lower Minnesota River Watershed Management District. 1.2 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER CITY PLANS This LWMP is intended to address surface water management; ground water supply and wellhead protection planning are separate from this Plan except as surface water management influences groundwater. 1.2.1 Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan is a blueprint for how the city manages its land use. The Metropolitan Council in accordance with the Metropolitan Land Planning Act develops and updates regional planning policies and requires that all cities periodically update their Comprehensive Plans to be consistent with those policy plans. Thrive MSP 2040 and the 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan identify certain required elements of local water resources planning. This Local Water Management Plan Update meets those requirements. 1.2.2 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program Chanhassen is regulated by the State of Minnesota’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Stormwater Permit as a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). In accordance City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan324 Page | 1-2 with that permit, the city developed a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) comprised of a series of Best Management Practices (BMPs) in six Minimum Control Measure (MCM) areas to prevent pollution and to manage and treat runoff discharged from the city into state waters. An annual report documents the specific actions taken in the previous year, which is presented to the public for review, approved by the City Council, and submitted to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for approval. In 2006, the city was one of 30 cities statewide selected by the MPCA to undertake a special Nondegradation Assessment as part of its NPDES permit. The purpose of the study was to assess changes in stormwater runoff volume, total suspended solids (TSS) and total phosphorus (TP) loading since 1988, and to predict how land change expected to 2020 would impact those parameters. The study found that while runoff volumes had increased, pollutant loading had decreased as a result of city and watershed district water quality treatment requirements. A new General Permit became effective August 1, 2013, and the city and other MS4s were required to prepare a new SWPPP and submit obtain renewal of coverage under the permit. Many of those BMPs are incorporated into this LWMP. 1.2.3 Wellhead Protection Plan Minnesota state statutes require the owners and operators of public drinking water systems to prevent contamination of public water supply wells by effectively managing potential contaminant sources in the area which contributes water to those wells. They must prepare a wellhead protection plan which includes: a map showing the boundaries of the delineated wellhead protection area, a vulnerability assessment of the well and the wellhead protection area, an inventory of potential sources of contamination within the wellhead protection area, a plan to manage and monitor existing and proposed potential sources of contamination, and a contingency strategy for an alternate water supply should the water supply be disrupted by contamination or mechanical failure. The city’s Wellhead Protection Plan (WHPP) addresses the ten municipal supply wells used by the city. Initially completed in 2002, it was updated in 2011 to include new wells and additional analysis. The WHPP includes an identification of a Wellhead Protection Area and an assessment of the vulnerability of the wells to contamination. One well, an emergency backup well, was identified as vulnerable to surface contamination, while the other wells were classified as not vulnerable. The uppermost source water aquifer within the Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) was identified as having mostly low vulnerability to surface contamination. Infiltration of stormwater is not desirable where the DWSMA indicates the aquifer is vulnerable to contamination from the surface, and other stormwater BMPs are recommended. DWSMA vulnerability is further described at the subwatershed level in Appendix A of this Plan. 1.2.4 Bluff Creek Natural Resources Management Plan The Bluff Creek Natural Resources Management Plan was completed in 1996. The Management Plan identified high-quality natural features for preservation as well as potential restoration projects. To protect this area, several zoning and land use recommendations were intended to minimize new impervious surface, control and limit stormwater runoff and pollutant loading, and protect or enhance wildlife corridors and connectivity. Many of these recommendations were incorporated into the Bluff Creek Overlay District zoning ordinance enacted in 1998. Maintaining and enforcing stormwater City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan325 Page | 1-3 management requirements through this Plan and the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District are integral to achieving the goals of the Bluff Creek Plan. 1.3 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS Several agencies manage programs or regulate activities for local stormwater or water resource management. The following sections summarize those relevant to local water management planning. 1.3.1 Metropolitan Council Water Resources Policy Plan The Metropolitan Council’s Water Resources Management Policy Plan is a framework to integrate water resources management and protection with planning for the Metro region’s growth. In 1995, the Metropolitan Land Planning Act was amended to require that each city and township's comprehensive plan include a local water management plan. These local plans need to be consistent with Minnesota Statutes 103B and Metropolitan Land Planning Act requirements. Local water management plans are reviewed by the Met Council as part of the local comprehensive planning process prior to their approval by the WMO and adoption by the city or township. In addition to the local stormwater plan elements required in statute and administrative rule, the Policy Plan expects communities to show that they are committed to the Met Council’s goal of no adverse impact (nondegradation) for area water resources. Local plans should include actions such as ordinances requiring runoff water quality treatment and limiting the rates and volumes of runoff; adopting Best Management Practices for development and redevelopment; and wetland management planning. The Policy Plan places a special emphasis on nondegradation of lakes identified as Priority Lakes. The Met Council defines Priority Lakes as lakes of high regional recreational value that are at least 100 acres in size; supply drinking water; have very good water quality; or have exceptional significance for wildlife habitat. Lakes in Chanhassen that have been designated as Metro Priority Lakes are: Minnewashta, Ann, Lotus, and Riley. 1.3.2 Minnesota River Basin Plan The Minnesota River flows southeast from its source at Big Stone Lake on the South Dakota border to Mankato then northeast to join the Mississippi River at Fort Snelling (about 335 total miles). It covers approximately 16,770 square miles, roughly 10 million acres. Thirteen major watersheds in Minnesota drain into the basin, which touches 37 counties. Most of Chanhassen is located in the Lower Minnesota River subbasin. The 2001 Minnesota River Basin Plan (MPCA 2001) lays out a broad framework for directing environmental programs toward improving water quality in the Minnesota River, its tributaries and other water bodies. Priority actions include reducing nutrient, sediment, and bacteria inputs to the river and improving the health of biologic communities. 1.4 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER REGULATORY AGENCIES The LWMP is intended to meet requirements outlined in Minnesota Rules 8410 and Minnesota Statutes 103B as well as provide a user-friendly tool for day-to-day management of the city’s water resources. The LWMP provides the following information, as required in the Minn. Statutes 103B.235. •Existing and proposed physical environment and land use within the city •Drainage areas and the volumes, rates, and paths of stormwater runoff •Identification of stormwater storage areas City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan326 Page | 1-4 •Performance standards for water quality and water quantity protection •Implementation program •Capital improvement program The Plan was also written with consideration of the needs, requirements and direction outlined in the following: •Local Water Management Rules – Minn.

The LWMP is intended to satisfy the rules set forth in the current watershed management plans. The city will participate in upcoming revisions, evaluate any future watershed management plan amendments in relation to the LWMP and incorporate items as needed. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan327 Page | 2-1 2.0 Regulatory Framework 2.1 CHANHASSEN ORDINANCES AND POLICIES The city has enacted several ordinances to protect and manage its water resources. Chapter 19 of Chanhassen City Code addresses design standards and requirements for water and sewers. Article V addresses illicit discharge detection and elimination within Chanhassen storm sewer systems. Article VII spells out development standards and design elements intended to implement the standards and achieve the goals set forth in this plan in order to preserve, protect and improve the city’s surface water resources. Specific elements within Article VII include erosion prevention and sediment control requirements, hydrologic and hydraulic design elements, water quality, rate control and volume reduction requirements. Those design standards include more stringent requirements for developments that discharge into Assumption Creek. That Article also establishes a Surface Water Management Utility and associated fees for operation of this utility. Chapter 20 is the city’s Zoning Code. Article VI establishes wetland management classifications and standards for managing and protecting wetlands in the city. The City of Chanhassen is the responsible Local Government Unit (LGU) for the administration of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) in all areas of the city. This article includes standards for setbacks and for establishing and maintaining buffer strips adjacent to wetlands, and policies and procedures for altering wetlands and mitigating impacts to wetland functions and values. Article V establishes the city’s Floodplain Overlay District and floodplain management standards. The ordinance establishes the regulatory flood protection elevation as no lower than two feet above the elevation of the regional flood. The ordinance also establishes what land uses may occur within the Overlay District under what conditions. Article VII sets forth the city’s Shoreland Management District ordinances. The lakes and streams within the city that are regulated under this ordinance are established by management classification. The article includes minimum lot size and width requirements, structure and onsite sewage system setbacks, and limitations on altering and clearing vegetation and adding impervious surface. Article XXVIII establishes bluff protection standards in general. Article XXXI establishes the Bluff Creek Overlay District and standards for protecting the quality and extent of the natural features within the District, which is centered on Bluff Creek. The Overlay District defines a Primary Zone, which is intended to be open space, and a Secondary Zone, in which regulated development may occur. Within this Secondary Zone, the ordinance requires a more stringent bluff setback; limits the amount of impervious surface allowed based on bluff slope; encourages terrain- adaptive architecture and density clustering; and requires preservation of natural habitat or, within the Secondary Zone, mitigation of any unavoidable impacts. 2.2 STATE AGENCY REGULATORY FRAMEWORK Many agencies manage programs or regulate activities for local stormwater or water resource management. The following sections summarize those of primary relevance to urban local water management planning. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan328 Page | 2-2 2.2.1 Metropolitan Council The Metropolitan Council’s Water Resources Management Policy Plan includes a range of programs administered by various governmental and private agencies for management of water resources in the Metro area. Several of Met Council’s programs of interest to cities include the following: •Development of targeted watershed pollutant loads •Review of watershed and local water plans and comprehensive plans for consistency with metropolitan goals and objectives •Watershed Outlet Monitoring Program (WOMP) •Citizens’ Assisted Lake Monitoring Program (CAMP) •Environmental Information Management System •Regional Water Supply Plan for the Metropolitan Area 2.2.2 Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) The MPCA administers several programs applicable to local storm water management planning. The MPCA monitors water quality, sets standards, and implements various controls. Following are two programs related to water quality. •The MPCA manages the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II permitting for small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) and construction and industrial discharge permitting •The MPCA implements the Clean Water Act, which requires that states adopt water quality standards to protect waters of the state. The EPA and MPCA require preparation of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) studies to identify the source of pollutants and plans for bringing the water resources into compliance. Lake Susan, Riley Lake, and Lotus Lake are impaired by excess nutrients; Bluff Creek is impaired by excess turbidity and does not meet state fish biology standards; and the Minnesota River does not meet turbidity standards. Several lakes and the Minnesota River do not meet mercury or PCB standards and have been listed on the MPCA’s 303(d) list of impaired waters. Section 3.2 discusses impaired waters in more detail. 2.2.3 Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) The DNR manages and protects the state’s natural resources and operates numerous programs. The department provides technical assistance and information regarding best management practices, natural resource management, incorporating natural resource conservation in land use planning, and lakescaping. The Fisheries Division monitors and improves fisheries within the state. It also promotes fishing opportunities and provides grants to assist in the construction of fishing piers. The Ecological and Water Resources (EWR) Division focuses on an overarching vision of “Healthy Watersheds throughout Minnesota.” The EWR Division also provides the following services: •Maintains an inventory of public waters and operates permit programs for working in public waters or for appropriating public waters; •Oversees the state’s floodplain management program; •Provides local stewardship by coordinating the Mississippi River Critical Area and MNRAA programs and the Shoreland Management program; City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan329 Page | 2-3 •Collects, analyzes, and provides ecological information, including: Location and management of rare resources (endangered and threatened species, critical habitats, high quality natural communities); Management of harmful exotic species, fish and wildlife diseases, and negative environmental impacts of human development; Management and restoration of important ecological processes in river systems and key natural areas; and Development of information about Minnesota's ecosystems and their significance to a sustainable quality of life. The DNR’s webpage at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lakefind/index.html is LakeFinder, a DNR supported tool that combines information from various DNR Divisions, as well as other state agencies, such as Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (water quality) and Minnesota Department of Health (fish consumption). This tool contains data for more than 4,500 lakes and rivers throughout Minnesota. The DNR also provides a variety of specialized programs oriented to property owners or neighborhood groups, such as the Aquatic Plant Management, Urban Fisheries and Fishing in the Neighborhood, Neighborhood Wilds, and Metro Greenways programs. 2.2.4 Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) The Environmental Health Division of the MDH administers numerous programs of interest to local water management planning, including the following. •Drinking water protection •Wellhead protection •Lake and fish monitoring (in partnership with DNR/MPCA) •Environmental Health Services •Health risk assessment, site assessment, and consultation •Well management The city worked with the MDH to develop a Wellhead Protection Plan (WHPP). 2.2.5 Carver County and Carver SWCD Carver County provides a variety of programs throughout the county that relate to water resources management. County staff manage feedlot and septic system programs, and undertake lake and stream monitoring for water quality where that is not undertaken by a Water Management Organization (WMO). The county also provides Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) monitoring and works to stop their spread. Common carp, curlyleaf pondweed, Eurasian water milfoil, and zebra mussels have been found in some of the lakes in Chanhassen. The county has in place an approved groundwater plan, and offers financial assistance to property owners to properly seal unused or abandoned wells. The Carver Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) provides outreach and assistance to both urban and agricultural land owners to help them protect and improve lakes, streams, and wetlands in the county. The SWCD promotes environmentally-friendly landscaping, offers financial assistance for shoreline restorations and other Best Management Practices (BMPs), and sponsors student and adult education programming. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan330 Page | 2-4 2.2.6 Watershed Districts and WMOs Watershed Management Organizations (WMOs) in the metro area are required by statute to prepare and administer water management plans that establish watershed-wide goals, policies, and regulations. Local governments are also required by statute to prepare and administer local water management plans that establish local goals, policies, and regulations regarding those water resources management areas that are consistent with the watershed plans. Chanhassen has land within the boundaries of three watershed districts and one county WMO (see Figure 2.1): •Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District •Minnehaha Creek Watershed District •Lower Minnesota River Watershed District •Carver County WMO Minnehaha Creek WD Local Plan Requirements. The MCWD updated its Watershed Management Plan in 2017. The City of Chanhassen has land in the Lake Virginia, Christmas Lake and Lake Minnetonka subwatersheds. In addition to the general requirements for Local Management Plans set forth in Minnesota Rules 8410, additional items must be addressed in the city’s Local Plan. One focus of the MCWD plan is fostering collaboration between the District and the cities to achieve mutual water and natural resource management goals. To that end the local plan should include: •Locations of publicly-owned lands such as parkland, right of way, or public facilities that may provide opportunities for collaborative stormwater management BMPs. •Lands that may potentially develop or redevelop within the planning timeframe. •Planned Infrastructure improvements or parks or open space acquisitions. •Potential to use development and redevelopment regulation to create incentives to protect water and other natural resources, including controls on removing mature trees. •Ways in which the city’s development review process encourages low impact development, and how the city ensures BMPs are adequately maintained post-construction. •A description of how the city will proactively and at least annually communicate and coordinate with the District on implementation efforts and opportunities for collaboration. A second focus is the MCWD Local Governmental Unit (LGU) Coordination Plan. Through the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) 2018 Water Management Plan, LGU coordination is identified as an integral component of the Local Water Management Plan. A coordination plan is requested to define a set of protocols that supports ongoing communication and promotes value-added collaboration between the District and LGU. Through these communications, the District and LGU will coordinate programs and resource deployment and be best suited to identify areas of collaboration and partnership. The goal of the coordination plan is to create a framework to maintain awareness of needs and opportunities to co-plan water and land use early in the planning process, while also identifying LGU services and expectations of MCWD. Through the Local Water Plan, the District invites a partnership framework that fosters increased early coordination of land use and water resource management to achieve its water quality goals.

The Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Water Management Plan requires Local Water Plans (LWP) to meet the standards set forth in Minnesota Rules 8410. In addition, cities must submit an annual compliance report describing its annual achievements and progress towards meeting its goals. The LWP should also describe the self-evaluation process the city will use to assess whether those goals and actions should be revised. Lower Minnesota River WD Requirements. The Lower Minnesota River Third Water Management Plan requires Local Water Plans (LWP) to meet the standards set forth in Minnesota Rules 8410. The District will spot-check projects and programs for continued compliance with the approved LWP. Carver County WMO Requirements. The Carver County WMO Comprehensive Water Management Plan requires Local Water Plans (LWP) to meet the standards set forth in Minnesota Rules 8410. In addition, if the city desires to take on regulatory responsibility, the Plan should state so, and describe the local controls, policies, and procedures it will use to administer the permitting program, and demonstrate it has the technical capacity to do so.

City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan334 Page | 2-8 2.3 WETLAND CONSERVATION ACT The adminitrative responsibilities for the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA) will continue to rest with the city. Wetland LGU responsibilities include: •Review and approve wetland delineations and determinations •Review and approve wetland exemption / no-loss applications •Review and approve wetland replacement plan applications •Coordinate Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) meetings •Send Notices of Application and Decision to the TEP •Enforce wetland replacement monitoring requirements, review monitoring reports and certify replacement wetlands •Work with DNR and Carver County to enforce WCA violations 2.4 RELATIONSHIP TO NPDES STORMWATER PERMIT The city holds a permit from the MPCA to discharge stormwater into waters of the state through the MPCA’s NPDES General Stormwater Permit. The permit specifies that the city must develop, receive MPCA approval of, and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that addresses a series of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the following six minimum control measures established by the EPA: 1.Public education and outreach 2.Public participation/involvement 3.Illicit discharge detection and elimination 4.Construction site runoff control 5.Post-construction runoff control 6.Pollution prevention/good housekeeping during municipal operations The city’s previous SWPPP was approved in 2003 and amended in 2006. The State of Minnesota adopted a new NPDES General Stormwater Permit effective August 1, 2013, and the city submitted a permit reapplication in December 2013. Approval of the new permit and SWPPP was received in 2014. Activities and policies to be included in the SWPPP are prescribed in the General Permit, and include many of the actions and policies set forth in this LWMP. 2.5 WATER RESOURCE RELATED AGREEMENTS Water resource-related agreements, including Joint Powers Agreements, are typically struck between agencies or entities with overlapping regulatory interests or geographic similarities. The city has the following agreements: •Cooperative agreements with RPBCWD providing for property use, construction, maintenance and credit-sharing for Susan Park Pond project and Chanhassen High School stormwater reuse projects (2018); Cooperative agreement for the Lake Susan spent-lime water-quality improvement project (2015); Pursuing a cooperative agreement with RPBCWD for efficient joint administration of financial assurances secured for regulatory purposes (2018) City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan335 Page | 2-9 •Memorandum of Agreement Between Carver County Land and Water Services and the City of Chanhassen Regarding Water Quality Education (MS4 Requirements), AIS and Targeted Monitoring Within City Boundaries. •Agreement Between the Carver Soil and Water Conservation District and the City of Chanhassen Relating to Urban Development Review and Site Inspection Services; Wetland Conservation Act; Individual Homeowner Natural Resource Issues. •1996 was the last executed cooperative agreement with MCWD. The city and MCWD are working on an interim agreement for regulatory responsibility during the current Plan and ordinance process City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan336 Page | 3-1 3.0 Assessment of Problems 3.1 HYDROLOGIC MODELING As part of this Plan, the HydroCAD hydrologic and hydraulic models for the city were updated to include the most recent watershed and basin information. There are fifteen individual HydroCAD models for the city. Issues raised by these models are discussed in Appendix A in the Subwatershed Summaries. The purpose of performing this modeling is for planning level assessments. The models were not calibrated to actual runoff and flows, and are not intended to be flood studies. The models were executed for the 100-year Atlas 14 precipitation event. Model output is quite lengthy and is available electronically. The output files are incorporated into this Plan as Appendix B. In, addition in 2003, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) completed a multi-year Hydrologic, Hydraulic, and Pollutant Loading Study (HHPLS) to document the physical and biological characteristics of the watershed which includes projected runoff rates and volumes. 3.1.1 Areas of Known Flooding On June 19, 2014, 4.98 inches of rain fell in less than 24 hours at the National Weather Service monitoring site in Chanhassen, a nearly 25-year return interval event. Almost 4.5 inches of rain had fallen in the weeks preceding this storm event, and the ground was saturated and ponds and wetlands were still full. Localized flooding occurred at a number of locations. These included both ongoing problem areas as well as locations where no or minimal flooding had been observed before: •Market Boulevard north of MN T.H. 5 •Pipewood Curve •Kerber Boulevard between Saddlebrook Curve and Sierra Trail •Lake Riley Boulevard at Lyman Boulevard •Old 212 near Moon Valley Gravel Pit 3.2 IMPAIRED WATERS Waters that do not meet state water quality standards are listed as “Impaired” by the State of Minnesota will require additional analysis in the form of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study. A TMDL is the maximum amount of a pollutant a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards. The TMDL study identifies the sources and magnitude of pollutant loading and establishes a numeric load reduction that must be made for each source. Table 3.1. Impaired Waters in Chanhassen.

A measure of the quantity and quality of aquatic life. Source: MPCA 2018 draft 303(d) list of impaired waters. 3.3 TMDLS AND UAAS A TMDL was completed and approved in 2013 for the Bluff Creek biotic integrity and turbidity impairments. A statewide TMDL has been completed for the mercury impairments. The Riley-Purgatory- Bluff Creek Watershed District has completed Use Attainability Analyses (UAAs) for Lake Susan, Lake Lucy, and Lake Ann. The UAAs are scientific assessments of a water body’s physical, chemical, and biological condition. The studies include water quality assessments and recommendations for protective and/or remedial measures for the studied lakes and their directly tributary watersheds. The results of these UAAs provide the city guidelines for water resource improvement projects for these water bodies. Although the UAAs provide some background data that may be used towards preparation of a TMDL they do not meet MPCA criteria for a TMDL document. 3.3.1 Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Studies Bluff Creek Turbidity and Fish Biota TMDL. Bluff Creek is listed by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) as impaired for aquatic life use due to excess turbidity levels and low fish biota scores. The Turbidity and Fish Biota TMDL was approved in 2013. The Bluff Creek TMDL Biological Stressor Identification Report identified sediment, metals, habitat fragmentation, and flow as stressors to fish biota. Although the TMDL Report discusses all of these stressors, Wasteload Allocations (WLAs) were made only for total suspended solids (TSS), which represents a surrogate for both turbidity and fish biota. Chanhassen’s TSS Wasteload Allocation requires an 88 percent reduction in TSS contributed to the stream. Primary sources of sediment are stream bank and bluff erosion, as well as poorly vegetated ravines and gullies. An inventory and assessment of the Bluff Creek lower valley was completed to identify sites contributing excessive amounts of sediment to Bluff Creek and to determine feasible options for addressing sources of excess sediment delivery to the stream. Five sites were classified as severe and are highest priority for stabilization and restoration, as was the stream just below the Hennepin County Regional Trail Corridor culvert crossing. The stream channel has downcut significantly below that culvert, and the culvert is being undermined, which could lead to future failure. This large drop also disrupts the connectivity of the creek, fragmenting habitat. Fish and other aquatic organisms are not able to migrate upstream of the culvert. Correction of the severe erosion and addition of a fish passage to reconnect the creek above and below the culvert were identified as priority implementation projects. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan338 Page | 3-3 South Metro Mississippi Total Suspended Solids TMDL. The South Metro Mississippi TSS TMDL was approved in 2016. This TMDL would require a 25 percent reduction in TSS load from MS4 communities such as Chanhassen. MS4s can demonstrate they meet this reduction by implementing a suite of BMPs that the MPCA will develop, or by showing that pollutant loads from their community meet or are less than the target load of 154 lbs/acre/year. This proof can be accomplished through water quality monitoring or modeling. Twin Cities Metropolitan Chloride TMDL. This study includes TMDLs for 37 of the 39 lakes and streams in the Metro Area that are impaired by excess chloride levels. The report also identifies high-risk waterbodies where monitoring data indicates that resource is approaching the impairment threshold. There are no chloride-impaired waters in Chanhassen, but the city is located within the tributary area of Minnehaha Creek, which is impaired by excess chloride. In addition, Bluff Creek has been classified as a high-risk waterbody. No specific load reductions were identified for Bluff Creek or any other waterbody in Chanhassen, but the TMDL suggests that all cities where high-risk resources are located consider developing a chloride management plan for those lakes and streams. In general, the TMDL suggests that regardless of whether or not runoff drains to an impaired or high-risk waterbody road authorities and other regulated entities take proactive steps to reduce the application of road salt for winter ice control as much as possible without compromising public safety. 3.3.2 UAAs and Other Studies RPBCWD has conducted several excellent UAAs and valuable studies for several water resources in the city. Three UAAs were updated in 2013. Short descriptions of findings are provided below. In addition A UAA for Rice Marsh Lake and Lake Riley was completed in 2016. Furthermore, the District implemented the Creek Restoration Action Strategy study which includes both Bluff and Riley Creeks. The Upper Riley Creek Sediment Source Assessment was also performed February 2017. The District also conducted a beyond Atlas 14 floodplain evaluation. More detail for each study and assessment is available from the Watershed District (http://www.rpbcwd.org/resources/). Lake Susan. Lake Susan is a shallow, 88 acre lake. Nearly all the surface area is less than 15 feet deep, shallow enough to be almost entirely dominated by rooted aquatic vegetation. Water quality is variable, some years approaching state water quality standards for shallow lakes and some years worse, but on average, the lake does not meet those standards. The Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Management Plan classified Lake Susan as a deep lake, and water quality falls short of deep lake goals. Invasive aquatic vegetation has been an issue in Lake Susan for many years. Curly-leaf pondweed and Eurasian watermilfoil present the greatest threat to the lake. The University of Minnesota has been working to manage the rough fish population in the lake while also trying to reestablish native aquatic vegetation. Modeling completed for the UAA update estimated the amount of nutrient loading from the watershed and from internal and other sources. The north subwatershed, where there are developed areas with little or no water quality treatment, is the largest source of load to the lake. In the south subwatershed, a large wetland in Lake Susan Hills West Park is a likely exporter of phosphorus. Lake Susan also experiences high sediment loading. Total Phosphorus (TP) load to Lake Susan needs to be reduced by 182 pounds per year, or about 25 percent, to meet the shallow lake standard. The UAA identified some pond enhancements and a City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan339 Page | 3-4 restoration of the identified wetland in Lake Susan Hills Park followed by a lake alum treatment to seal bottom sediments as potential actions to achieve that goal. Lake Lucy and Lake Ann. Water quality in Lake Lucy and Lake Ann has been fairly stable—neither degrading nor improving—in recent years. Lake Lucy currently meets the MPCA shallow lake water quality standards; however, excess phosphorus results in algal blooms and reduced water clarity that does not meet the RPBCWD’s goals. The annual phosphorus loading to Lake Lucy, based on the 2012 water year, indicates nearly half of the phosphorus load to the lake is from watershed runoff. Since the watershed to Lake Lucy has many ponds and wetlands that settle out particulates, much of the phosphorus that reaches Lake Lucy is in the soluble, or non-settleable, form that is readily available for algal uptake. The other primary contributions of phosphorus are internal sources, including release from the bottom sediments and from the dieback of Curlyleaf pondweed. While Lake Ann is currently meeting both the RPBCWD and MPCA water quality goals, the release of phosphorus from the lake sediments appears to lead to periodic blue-green algal blooms suspended below the water surface. During the 2012 water year, more than half of the phosphorus load to Lake Ann came from internal sources, primarily the release from the bottom sediments. Approximately 30 percent of the phosphorus load was from the Lake Ann watershed and discharge from Lake Lucy. Because the lakes currently meet state water quality standards, no specific phosphorus load reductions have been identified. However, to meet Watershed District goals, improve water clarity, and reduce the incidence and severity of algal blooming, the UAA identified a number of management actions. These include: implementing stormwater volume abstraction rules as portions of the watershed develop or redevelop; maximizing the treatment of watershed runoff such as iron-enhanced sand filter pond benches or the use of spent lime treatments to remove soluble phosphorus; curly-leaf pondweed treatment in Lake Lucy; and a whole-lake alum treatment in Lake Ann to help control internal phosphorus load. 3.4 PROBLEMS AND ISSUES Local water management problems, issues, and opportunities were identified by reviewing: •Statutory requirements for Local Water Management Plans •Lake inventory data •Lake UAAs and stream TMDLs •Input solicited from the public, the Environmental Commission, city staff, and state and local agency staff Once the problems and issues were identified staff identified and prioritized potential solutions to help the City of Chanhassen accomplish the goals of this Plan. This section presents those items evaluated to develop the proposed improvements and management studies summarized in the Implementation Plan. Table 3.2. Problems, issues, and opportunities. Water Quality Conditions •Lakes and streams are listed on the Clean Water Act Section 303(d) TMDL List of Impaired Waters. •Nonpoint source pollution reduction is necessary through maintenance practices such as street sweeping, sump manhole cleaning, and pond inspections. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan340 Page | 3-5 Drainage and Flooding •Near stream gullies and escarpments should be addressed to control sediment deposition into surface waters and to protect property and infrastructure. There are ongoing opportunities to work with the WMOs to address gully erosion •Subsurface drainage causing icing on public streets and pedestrian pathways. Regulatory Requirements and Operational Policies •Atlas 14 updated precipitation frequency data is available for adoption. •Approaches such as Minimal Impact Development and Integrated Management Practices are available to reduce the public expenditures necessary to control runoff and protect and improve water quality. •The city’s approved NPDES permit and SWPPP requires ordinance revisions and operating program enhancements. •City goals, policies and ordinances to help protect natural resources may need review and refinement. Water-Based Recreation Needs •Water quality should be protected and improved to protect and enhance recreational opportunities. •Control of aquatic invasive species (AIS) is of growing concern. Maintenance Requirements •BMP maintenance and repair requirements have been identified during NPDES inspections, including restoration of storage capacity, repair of erosion, and prevention of future problems. •Street sweeping, sump manhole cleaning, and BMP inspections are necessary on an ongoing basis to help reduce nonpoint source pollutant loads. Education and Outreach •Education and outreach efforts could be expanded with a focus on targeted groups with new and expanded educational opportunities. Continuing to build and grow education opportunities with CCWMO to improve efficiency and reduce duplication of efforts Financial Resources •Financial resources are limited, requiring that projects be prioritized. Groundwater Protection •The LWMP should be coordinated with the Wellhead Protection Program so that policies that encourage infiltration and groundwater recharge are consistent with the policies to protect sensitive areas and groundwater supply recharge areas. •Seminary Fen is a rare calcareous fen and Assumption Creek is a trout stream, both of which are dependent on groundwater. Collaboration Opportunities •There are opportunities for collaboration with other agencies such as the WMOs, the county, and state agencies to leverage expertise and resources to finance and construct improvements. 3.4.1 2006 SWMP Priority Issues The city’s 2006 Surface Water Management Plan identified a number of potential projects and activities to address the then-current problems and issues and to help achieve that Plan’s goals. The highest priority were set forth in Table 45 of that Plan. These included seven structural practices, two ordinance updates, and some inspection and record keeping updates. Most of these high priority actions have been completed. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan341 Page | 4-1 4.0 Goals and Policies This section of the Plan outlines goals and policies guiding surface water management in the City of Chanhassen. A goal is a desired end toward which surface water management efforts are directed. Each goal has several corresponding policies that form the governing principals that will be followed to achieve the goals. Table 4.1 summarizes the six water resources management goals. The six goals and the corresponding policies are presented and discussed in more detail in the following pages. Table 4.1. Water resources management goals. Goal Number Goal Area Goal Statement 1 Water Quantity Promote abstraction through infiltration, reuse and other methods where practicable to do so to provide flood protection, ground water recharge and improved water quality. 2 Water Quality Achieve water quality standards in lakes, streams, and wetlands consistent with their designated uses and established classifications. 3 Wetlands Protect and rehabilitate wetlands to maintain or improve their function and value. 4 Groundwater Prevent contamination of the aquifers and promote groundwater recharge to maintain base flows in streams and wetlands. 5 Regulatory Responsibility Maintain primary responsibility for managing water resources at the local level and continue coordination and cooperation with other agencies and organizations. 6 Public Education and Participation Cultivate an environmentally literate public to promote an active community role in sustainable management of water resources. 4.1 GOALS AND POLICIES Water Quantity Development and changes in land use that result in additional impervious surface will result in a corresponding increase in stormwater runoff rates and volumes. This increase can cause flooding and erosion issues in the downstream system. It is important to control these increased runoff rates and volumes in order to ensure reduction of flooding in the downstream system and to control the potential effects of erosive flows on streams and waterways. Storm sewer design within the City of Chanhassen has been largely based upon the precipitation frequency estimates published in the Weather Bureau’s Technical Paper Number 40 (“TP 40”), Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States for Durations from 30 Minutes to 24 Hours and Return Periods from 1 to 100 years (Hershfield 1961). In April 2013, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) published Atlas 14, Precipitation – Frequency Atlas of the United States, Volume 8 Version 2.0 to replace TP 40. Atlas 14 used a much more robust data set over a much longer time span then was used for TP 40. While the 2-year average return interval and the 10-year average return interval remained relatively unchanged, the 100-year amount increased by 1.38 inches or 23% over the previous estimate City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan342 Page | 4-2 (Table 4.2). The longer period of record used in developing Atlas 14 allowed for a more statistically accurate estimate of the less frequent events. Table 4.2. Comparison of TP 40 to Atlas 14 event depths. Publication 2-Year, 24 Hour 10-Year, 24 Hour 100-Year, 24 Hour TP 40 2.8” 4.2” 6.0” Atlas 14 2.87” 4.27” 7.38” Even though we now know to design to greater depths for certain events, the city’s infrastructure has generally performed very well. However, there have been a few instances where the existing infrastructure was inadequate to accommodate the runoff volumes and/or rates. The city experienced large storm events in 2005, 2009, and 2014. The first 2005 large event occurred on September 3 and 4 and totaled approximately 5.55 inches of rainfall. The second occurred on October 4 and 5, 2005, and totaled approximately 4.61 inches of rainfall. From June 19 through June 20, 2014, the Chanhassen area received approximately 6.23 inches of rainfall. That June Chanhassen received 12.79 inches of rainfall after a wetter than average April and May. While significant damages did not occur from these events, a few areas were subject to high water levels and short-term flooding of streets. Lotus Lake, Lake Riley and Lake Minnewashta all experienced extended high water levels. Residents on these lakes experienced submerged docks and some shoreline erosion damage. Users were subject to the city’s emergency slow/no-wake restrictions for a period of about 15 days. Looking at opportunities to reduce the extent and/or duration of these high water levels is one of the key water quantity issues for the city. Because the lake discharges to Purgatory Creek, the solution is not a simple one. Coordination with RPBCWD, Lotus Lake area residents and the potentially impacted property owners downstream will be a critical step in developing a long term solution that does not push the problem downstream. Another issue that was discovered during the large event of 2005 is the lack of emergency overflows and flow paths in some areas of the city. Ultimately, the city’s focus is to operate and maintain the system so that it continues to function in the way it is intended, and provides flood protection for adjacent properties. During review of storm water management plans, it is important for city staff to review the location of emergency overflow paths for storm water infrastructure in new developments. In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in water quantity management. The strategy today is to where possible manage stormwater where it falls, as exemplified by the State of Minnesota’s Minimal Impact Design Standards (MIDS). The emphasis is on reducing the volume of runoff discharged to downstream resources through abstraction, or the permanent retention of runoff on a site through structures and practices such as infiltration, evapotranspiration and capture and reuse. This abstraction can help mitigate the effects of larger storm events. Abstraction has other benefits as well, including minimizing and reducing the amount of pollution reaching our lakes, rivers and streams and recharging groundwater resources. A Flood Hazard Boundary Map dated January 1979 was completed for the City of Chanhassen, which identifies the entire city as a No Special Flood Hazard Area or Zone C. The Flood Insurance Study for Carver County is being updated as part of the FEMA Map Modernization Program. Updated maps are expected to be published in December 2018. Maps are available from the FEMA website, www.fema.gov, available at City Hall or from the respective WMO. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan343 Page | 4-3 Goal 1.Promote abstraction through infiltration, reuse and other methods where practicable to do so to provide flood protection, ground water recharge and improved water quality. Policy 1.1.Require all developments to construct stormwater best management practices, improve existing practices, and/or contribute to the construction or improvement of a regional facility for the purpose of reducing peak flows and runoff volume generated by the subject development. Policy 1.2.Require all development and redevelopment projects to demonstrate no net increase in the annual runoff water volume discharged from the site compared to pre-development conditions. Policy 1.3.Creative and innovative green site design and Best Management Practices, including infiltration systems and stormwater reuse, will be the preferred practice unless site limitations such as soil conditions, depth to groundwater, and safety preclude the use of these practices. Policy 1.4.Continue to stringently enforce lot coverage requirements set forth in City Code and development contracts. Policy 1.5.Establish and maintain overflow routes for ponds and low areas to provide relief during storm conditions that exceed design conditions. Policy 1.6.Where volume reduction is infeasible and detention ponds are necessary, regional ponding areas, as opposed to individual on-site ponds, should be used to reduce flooding, to control discharge rates, and to provide necessary storage volumes as indicated in this Plan. Policy 1.7. When areas are developed, redeveloped, and as infrastructure is replaced, stormwater facilities should be built and/or upgraded to provide or improve flood management and water quality. Policy 1.8. Encourage the development of new and improvement of existing ponds located upstream of priority water bodies. Policy 1.9. Permanently protect surface water impoundments and drainage systems by requiring the dedication of land and/or protective easements as required. Policy 1.10. Design, operate and maintain newly constructed storm water facilities in accordance with this Plan and NPDES MS4 permit requirements. Policy 1.11. Manage floodplain activities in accordance with all city, state, and federal regulations. Policy 1.12. Require building elevations to provide at least 3 feet of freeboard adjacent to ponding areas and floodplains for all development and redevelopment or when drainage facilities are constructed for an area. Policy 1.13. Preserve existing water storage below 100-year flood elevations. Policy 1.14. Continue management and development of public and private stormwater infrastructure as separate systems. Policy 1.15. The Water Resources Department manages public surface water resources identified in the LWMP and NPDES MS4 permit. Drainage, seeps, and springs on or between single family private parcels is not managed unless specifically identified in the LWMP, NPDES permit, or city ordinance. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan344 Page | 4-4 Policy 1.16.Require development and redevelopment stormwater management incorporate the protection of existing and native plant and forest communities. Policy 1.17.Develop a tree preservation and native habitat protection credit consistent with the MCWD credit Policy 1.18.Require development and redevelopment projects and plans incorporate wildlife connectivity opportunities Water Quality The City of Chanhassen seeks to maintain and improve the water quality in its lakes, streams and wetlands to meet or better the State of Minnesota surface water quality standards for lakes and streams. There are many potential sources of water pollution that can negatively impact public safety and the enjoyment of these resources. Stormwater runoff can convey phosphorus, chloride, sediment, oils, debris, and bacteria to downstream waters, increasing algal blooms, reducing water clarity, and impacting fish and other aquatic communities. Excessive volumes and rates of stormwater runoff discharged into channels and streams can erode streambanks, causing additional water quality impacts. One of the city’s chief strategies for achieving its water quality goals is to require development and redevelopment to provide stormwater quality treatment through abstraction of 1.1 inch of runoff from impervious surfaces, or if that is infeasible, to provide treatment by some other means. Other strategies include better management of construction site erosion control measures, disconnecting and reducing the level of impervious cover, reducing the extent of managed lawn areas and replacing them with native vegetation, reducing stream bank erosion, and practicing good housekeeping practices, such as removing leaves from streets and storm drains and limiting the use of phosphorus fertilizers. Goal 2.Achieve water quality standards in lakes, streams, and wetlands consistent with their designated uses and established classifications. Policy 2.1. Manage each water body in the city’s surface water system to meet state, local, and federal water quality standards. Policy 2.2. Require that development and redevelopment projects demonstrate no net increase in the annual mass of total suspended solids (TSS), total phosphorous (TP) from the site compared to pre-development conditions. Policy 2.3. Require owners of development or redevelopment projects to provide on-site volume reduction or treatment or, where volume reduction is infeasible, contribute to the construction or improvement of a regional facility. Policy 2.4.Establish and implement on-going programs for property owners, local leaders, and those who live, work and play in the city designed to promote active stewardship of water resources. Develop and maintain a public education program to promote reduction of nutrient and sediment loading to water bodies. Policy 2.5. Continue to monitor long-term water quality trends on prioritized water bodies. Policy 2.6. Develop and implement a priority ranking scheme to focus management activities and capital improvements. Update priorities annually with a 5-year horizon. Policy 2.7. Evaluate the progress of the surface water management program on an annual basis in conjunction with the NPDES MS4 annual report. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan345 Page | 4-5 Policy 2.8. The city may require higher water quality standards in areas draining to an Impaired or Special Water. Policy 2.9. The city will lead by example by following the standards of this Plan and implementing BMPs to provide pollution prevention and water quality treatment on city-initiated projects. Policy 2.10. All vegetative surfaces must utilize native vegetative cover, deep rooted low mow/no mow/turf alternatives, or approved landscape plantings. Landscape plantings include woody vegetation, annual and perennial forbs, ornamental grasses, fruit/vegetable gardens, and mulch Policy 2.11. Prohibit the discharge of foreign material into the storm water system. Such material should include, but not be limited to, waste oil, paint, grass clippings, leaves, commercial fertilizers, trash, construction debris, and miscellaneous chemicals. Policy 2.12. Continue implementing a spill response program for the city personnel to prevent discharge of spilled materials into the storm sewer system. Policy 2.13. Continue to implement the erosion and sediment control policies and the construction site inspection program to ensure reduction of water quality impacts from lack of erosion and sediment control. Policy 2.14. Protect shorelands and water resources. All properties are required to have native vegetated buffer adjacent to wetlands, storm ponds, and water resources. Non- conforming properties, and lots of record shall be brought into compliance when applying for permits or variances to improve the property. Non-conforming buffers should attempt to meet regulatory requirements whenever possible. The minimum non- conforming buffer width shall be 10’. Policy 2.15.Maintain a shoreland ordinance consistent with DNR requirements and recommendations to promote and encourage shoreland protection. Policy 2.16.Develop a Vegetation Management Plan. Ordinances and policies will be updated based on the goals and recommendations of the plan. Wetlands The City of Chanhassen serves as the Local Government Unit (LGU) for the purposes of administering the State of Minnesota’s Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). The city’s Wetland Protection Ordinance sets forth standards for the protection of wetlands, including wetland buffers, setbacks, and mitigation of unavoidable impacts. The policies and strategies set forth in this Plan will apply to all property within the city. Any wetland habitat will be subject to these management policies, as well as the rules and requirements of the Wetland Conservation Act. Goal 3.Protect and rehabilitate wetlands to maintain or improve their function and value. Policy 3.1. Continue to act as the responsible Local Government Unit (LGU) for administration of the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) for wetland impacts in the city. Policy 3.2. Maintain an official wetlands map that classifies wetlands by function and value and periodically update the wetland inventory data and the wetland management classifications. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan346 Page | 4-6 Policy 3.3. Update the city’s Wetland Protection Ordinance as necessary to maintain consistency with state and watershed district requirements. Policy 3.4. Promote stewardship of wetlands on private property. Policy 3.5. Ensure administrative costs are reasonable and sufficient to cover administration of WCA. Administrative fee will be an average of neighboring LGUs that administer the WCA. Policy 3.6. Improve historic wetlands through pre-treatment and restoration activates when practical to do so, and in conjunction with street improvement and redevelopment projects. Policy 3.7. Prioritize the protection the Seminary Fen and, unique natural resources during development and redevelopment. Policy 3.8. Allow natural wetland systems to function within their existing and historic boundaries without interference or removal of non-invasive plant and wildlife species. Policy 3.9. Impacts to, or created by, existing, non-invasive, vegetation and wildlife caused by local climate impact, natural behavior, or approved development are considered natural wetland functions. Groundwater The city’s role in managing groundwater resources is limited in scope. There are actions the city can take to prevent or minimize impacts to groundwater quality. Groundwater and surface waters interact, and streams and wetlands and, to a lesser extent, lakes are reliant on groundwater contributions to maintain stream baseflow and wetland hydrology. The city’s primary strategies in groundwater management are to encourage infiltration of stormwater to help recharge surficial groundwater and to encourage water reuse and conservation to reduce consumption and protect the water supply. Goal 4.Prevent contamination of the aquifers and promote groundwater recharge to maintain base flows in streams and wetlands. Policy 4.1. Continue implementation of the City of Chanhassen Wellhead Protection Plan and implement Carver County Groundwater Plan 2016. Policy 4.2. Cooperate with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), Carver County, the Department of Natural Resources, and other agencies to periodically assess the vulnerability of groundwater used for drinking water supplies. Policy 4.3. Promote infiltration of stormwater and resulting groundwater recharge where it is feasible and does not pose a threat to groundwater quality, in accordance with the Minnesota Department of Health’s Evaluating Proposed Storm Water Infiltration Projects in Vulnerable Wellhead Protection Areas. Policy 4.4.Promote proper well abandonment. Regulatory Responsibility City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan347 Page | 4-7 The city assumes the role of permitting all land alteration activities summarized in table 4.3 and enforcing the standards and policies set forth by the Plan. Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District (RPBCWD) also reviews and permits on any proposed land alteration under their rules within the RPBCWD. Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) permits for projects that include land alteration, floodplain alteration, dredging, shoreline and streambank improvement, and stream and lake crossings. Lower Minnesota River Watershed District reviews alterations to land within the Minnesota River valley. Carver County Water Management Organization reviews and permits land altering projects in the WMO. The city is the LGU for the Wetland Conservation Act, and assumes the role of permitting all wetland impacts. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has authority over issues relating to water and wetlands designated as State Protected Wetlands and Waters. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has authority relating to all wetlands identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Wetland Inventory. The Minnesota Department of Health has regulatory authority over groundwater issues within the city. Carver County has adopted a Groundwater Plan (2016). Erosion control falls under several jurisdictions including the city, the watershed districts, and the MPCA. The MPCA also has regulatory authority over individual septic systems within the city limits. Table 4.3. Agencies with regulatory authority.

Coordinate projects and information with government agencies; i.e. MnDOT, Carver and Hennepin Counties, Department of Natural Resources, Watershed Districts, and Water Management Organizations. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan348 Page | 4-8 Public Education and Participation The public education and participation goals and policies recognize that people want to be involved in decisions that affect the water resources in their community. The city seeks to create opportunities for the public to participate in information gathering and decision-making. Public education and participation activities are also requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. Goal 6.Cultivate an environmentally literate public to promote an active community role in sustainable management of water resources. Policy 6.1. The city will continue to provide opportunities for public involvement (e.g., neighborhood meetings, public hearings, mailed notices, etc.) for significant water resource decisions or projects. Policy 6.2. The city will coordinate and consult with appropriate city commissions and committees on surface water issues. Policy 6.3. The city will communicate with lake associations and other appropriate civic and citizen groups. Policy 6.4. The city will develop an Education and Outreach Plan, actively implement the current educational programs, and work to develop and implement new education programs and activities related to water resources. Policy 6.5. The city will cooperate with other agencies and encourage establishment of model interpretative sites for public education like the stormwater practices at the Landscape Arboretum. Policy 6.6. Continue to remain in compliance with the NPDES Phase II MS4 permit with respect to public education and involvement. Policy 6.7. Promote the installation of low mow/no mow turf, turf alternatives, and restoration of native vegetation on all public and private property within the city. Update ordinances as needed to reflect policy. Policy 6.8. Promote safety education in an effort to promote the co-existence of commercial and recreational navigation on the Lower Minnesota River. Policy 6.9. Prioritize partnership opportunities with CCWMO to improve and expand education and outreach programs and goals. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan349 Page | 5-1 5.0 Implementation Plan The City of Chanhassen will implement both management programs and capital projects to achieve the goals and policies set forth in this Plan. These actions address the problems and issues identified here as well as NPDES and TMDL requirements and agency and watershed expectations. The following sections describe those actions, which as summarized in Tables 5.2 and 5.3. Each year, the city will review progress and resources, and these implementation actions may be reviewed and updated based on changing conditions or requirements. If necessary, this Plan may be amended in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 6.0. 5.1 PERMITTING AND ENFORCEMENT Numerous local, state, and federal agencies regulate water resources. However, the primary regulators are the City of Chanhassen, the four watershed management organizations within Chanhassen; the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MDNR); and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). These regulations are discussed in Section 2.0 Regulatory Framework. 5.1.1 Current Ordinances and Potential Revisions The City of Chanhassen has enacted numerous policies and ordinances regulating and managing water resources. These are described in Section 2.1 above. In its NPDES stormwater permit application, the city agreed to within one year of permit approval adopt ordinance revisions as necessary to meet permit requirements. It is the city’s desire to reduce administrative and regulatory burden while staying protective of our water and natural resources. The city intends to exercise sole regulatory authority over development and redevelopment projects requiring stormwater, wetland, floodplain, or erosion control review and approval, and will work with the WMOs to adopt Memoranda of Understanding (MOU). The city will continue to ensure submission of applications for permits under those WMO rules, and all variances, for which the city does not have authority, are submitted to the WMOs for review and approval. This process will be assured through the implementation of a new water resource permit process developed in collaboration with the WMOs. In addition to amending its official controls, the city will follow the framework and scope for each WMO required to adopt an MOU. Specifically, RPBCWD requires the MOU details the scope of each entity’s exercise of regulatory authority (i.e., who will regulate what) for presentation to the City Council and Board of Managers for approval. The MOU also will establish a process and schedule for exchanging progress reports, the city’s submission of permitting information to the District and regular meeting to ensure water-resources management concerns and projects are pursued via the most effective and cost- efficient route possible. The MOU also will provide procedures and a timeline for the District’s reengagement of all of its regulatory authority if the city is found not to have adopted the necessary official controls or implemented a complete and effective regulatory program. Additional regulatory revisions are necessary to bring the ordinances into conformance with the requirements of the watershed districts in the city (Table 5.1). The city will undertake these ordinance revisions within six months after adoption of this Plan. It is expected that where the requirements of the City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan350 Page | 5-2 individual watershed districts differ, the city will adopt the most stringent of the requirements for application citywide. The most stringent requirements the city will adopt are highlighted in Table 5.1. The city will work with the WMOs as it considers regulatory revisions and permit review processes and procedures to ensure that they are consistent with WMO requirements. The city commits to updating its ordinances as necessary and required within one year after receiving notification that a WMO has significantly revised its rules and standards.

City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan355 Page | 5-7 5.1.2 NPDES Permit Implementation Requirements Under the requirements of NPDES Phase II, the city has implemented a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP). Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the MPCA-approved SWPPP are implemented on an ongoing basis. Annual activities are detailed in the city’s Annual Report and reviewed at an annual public meeting prior to submittal of the annual report to the MPCA. More information about the SWPPP can be found in the Surface Water Resources Section of the city’s website (http://www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/index.aspx?nid=1085.) The city’s Engineering/GIS Department maintains databases and GIS mapping of stormwater and wetland information for both public and private systems. These sources summarize pertinent management information about BMPs, wetlands, and other water resources in the city including BMP location, type, and responsible party. The information provided for stormwater ponding systems includes physical condition, maintenance histories, pond elevations, watershed acreages, basin sizes, and other as-built information where available. The city utilizes a Stormwater Asset Management Program from WSB to rank basins based on cost/benefit, pollutant removal efficiency, and annual inspect data. All information is being collected, updated, and integrated into the city’s general asset management software on an ongoing basis as part of the NPDES Phase II permit requirements and provides data and direction to prioritize maintenance. The city will work with state, federal, and local entities to determine additional data needs and the best approach to manage the data. An Inventory of real property owned by the city, and maps of public and private stormwater systems are included in Appendix A. The city is committed to complete the MCWD conveyance map and inventory discussion within 2 years of Plan adoption. The State’s General Permit was reissued effective August 1, 2013, and the city has been issued a reauthorized permit. The city’s SWPPP application identified a number of BMPs that the city needs to initiate or update, such as developing certain programs, expanding record keeping, and establishing new or modified policies. The new permit also requires revisions to the city’s ordinances requiring stormwater management, namely adopting more stringent standards to reduce phosphorus and total suspended sediment in stormwater runoff, limiting new volumes of stormwater runoff, public education and staff training, illicit discharge, BMP inspection and maintenance for both public and private stormwater BMPs. 5.2 IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS 5.2.1 Education and Outreach Program The city recognizes that a critical element in reaching the long-term goals developed for this LWMP is public education. An education and outreach plan will be developed to achieve these goals and meet requirements of the NPDES permit. This plan will incorporate opportunities to collaborate with the four WMOs and other organizations to maximize existing local education resources and expertise. The city also uses various media outlets such as local news articles, city newsletters, Facebook, and the City of Chanhassen website to educate citizens on the basics of our stormwater system, provide updates on current actions the city is taking to monitor or improve stormwater systems, and inform residents about opportunities to improve local water bodies through workshops, volunteer opportunities, or rebates. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan356 Page | 5-8 City events and festivals provide additional opportunities for education. High priority topics are periodically identified for emphasis, including topics such as: •Water resource management •Pollinators and Wildlife habitat •Groundwater protection •Low impact and green design such as pervious pavers •Wetlands •Pet waste control •Native plant establishment •Leaf and grass clipping management •Wetland, lake and pond buffers •Lawn chemical and phosphorus fertilizer usage Adults and youth can also participate in outreach activities such as: the storm drain labelling program; Wetland Health Evaluation Program (WHEP); park cleanup events; Citizen Assisted Lake Monitoring program (CAMP). The City Council relies on a Planning Commission and Environmental Commission to provide recommendations and direction on water resource topics. The city recognizes the important value of coordination and collaboration with other agencies, and will continue to find opportunities to improve these relationships and will utilize collaborative resources such as WaterShed Partners, Blue Thumb, Let’s Keep it Clean, the Minnesota Stormwater Coalition, and the CCWMO to maximize resources and message impacts. LMRWD offers a Cost Share Incentive Program and Water Quality Restoration Program that the city will promote. Education programming includes training for city staff, local leaders and decision makers on various water resources management topics. 5.2.2 Monitoring Program The city will meet with each WMO staff annually to review opportunities to coordinate data collection and assessment to improve informed decision making. In addition the city continues to operate the following monitoring programs: Citizen Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP). The City of Chanhassen partners with the Metropolitan Council to participate in its Citizen Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP). Volunteers collect surface water samples from Chanhassen lakes. The samples are then sent to the Metropolitan Council to be analyzed for the following: •Total phosphorus (TP) •Total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) •Chlorophyll-a (CLA) Volunteers also gather the following information: •Measure surface water transparency using a Secchi disc •Record water temperature •Record perceptions such as weather conditions Samples are taken bi-weekly from April through October (14 sampling dates) and are sampled at the lake's deepest open-water location. The CAMP currently monitors the following lakes: •Lake Lucy City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan357 Page | 5-9 •Lake Minnewashta •Lake Riley •Lake St. Joe •Lake Susan •Lotus Lake Stream Health Evaluation Program (SHEP). This program gives citizens professional training on how to evaluate a stream health based on physical assessments and bio-monitoring. Citizens evaluate physical characteristics of stream sites, collect and identify macro-invertebrates. Citizens get hands on opportunities to learn about stream ecosystems and assist Carver County in water quality monitoring. Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS). AIS monitoring is coordinated through a partnership program with CCWMO, RPBCWD, and local lake associations 5.2.3 Operations and Maintenance The City of Chanhassen follows Best Management Practices (BMPs) in operating and maintaining its infrastructure and facilities, consistent with its NPDES permit and this Plan. The city’s approach to ensuring maintenance of private stormwater infrastructure for development and redevelopment includes: •Stormwater BMPs are required to be placed into permanent easements recorded against the property. •Public BMPs are required to be placed in drainage and utility easements recorded on the plat. •All BMPs are required to have Operation and Maintenance Plans detailing maintenance responsibilities, and recorded against the property. •All BMPs are required to have Inspection Forms detailing inspection activities and including identification of responsible party performing the maintenance and submitting annual inspection reports. •Authorization for the city to access BMPs for inspection and to perform maintenance if property owner fails to meet requirements. Property owner is responsible for all maintenance costs incurred by the city. •Wetlands and water resources are to be placed into outlots during development or redevelopment. •Recommends BMPs receiving public or community stormwater not be placed on single family residential lots during development or redevelopment. •The city does not have the capacity to take on private stormwater BMP maintenance, therefore, it is the responsibility of the property owner to operate, maintain, and inspect. City staff and projects serve as a model for good housekeeping practices. Some specific Best Management Practices integrated into daily activities include: Street Sweeping. The city sweeps all streets at least annually, and sweeps more frequently in certain key areas. Staff continuously reviews street sweeping practices to assure they are consistent with the latest management recommendations. Some TMDLs and UAAs have identified key areas where enhanced sweeping can provide additional nutrient and sediment removal to protect or improve lake and stream water quality. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan358 Page | 5-10 Snow and Ice Control. Street maintenance staff use the recently-developed Winter Maintenance Assessment Tool from the MPCA to evaluate and enhance snow and ice control practices optimizing the application of road salt - sodium chloride – to limit chloride loading to surface waters. BMP Inspections and Maintenance. In accordance with its NPDES permit, stormwater ponds are inspected at least every five years for sediment accumulation and maintenance needs. The city’s BMP Inspection and Maintenance Program ensures public and private stormwater infrastructure is inspected and maintained to meet regulatory requirements. Private stormwater BMPs on sites over an acre that discharge into the city’s system submit annual inspection reports, and are inspected by city staff once every three years. The city utilizes design standard details setting forth the city’s BMP and infrastructure design and maintenance requirements. The city is developing its Stormwater Inventory Inspection and Maintenance Plan. This Plan includes both activities necessary to meet NPDES Phase II permit obligations as well as general operations and maintenance activities. These include: •BMP operation and maintenance plans •Vegetation Management Plan •Facilities Maintenance Plans •Street and parking lot sweeping •Chloride management •Catch basin and sump inspection, cleaning, and repair. •Sump catch basin inspection, cleaning, and repair. •Sediment removal schedules. •Televising, jetting, and repair of storm sewers and culverts. •Treatment effectiveness evaluation. •Illicit discharge detection and elimination plan As a requirement of its NPDES permit, the city must establish Enforcement Response Procedures and Plan Review Checklists which will be added as Appendix D and E within 6 months of Plan adoption. The City of Chanhassen also maintains up to date GIS shapefiles containing information about water bodies, stormwater facilities, and stormwater infrastructure. Opportunistic BMPs. Where possible, Chanhassen will incorporate BMPs into its street and utility infrastructure to protect and preserve its water and natural resources. 5.2.4 Capital Improvement Program The Implementation Plan in Tables 5.2 and 5.3 details a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) of projects. The Use Attainability Analyses (UAAs) and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) studies have identified potential actions that could help protect and improve the water quality in and enjoyment of studied waterbodies, and some of those actions are included. In addition, every year the city considers updates to the city’s CIP not only for improvements to the storm drainage system but also the transportation system, water and sanitary sewer utilities, and park facilities. Drainage system maintenance and condition assessments have identified a number of pond maintenance and other projects such as dredging to restore or enhance the effectiveness of those features, and priority actions have been included in the CIP. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan359 Page | 5-11 Road, utility, and park projects are also an opportunity to incorporate water quality and quantity BMPs. These projects are intended to maximize the amount of nutrient and sediment removal from stormwater prior to being discharged into the lakes, streams, and wetlands in the community. Concept- level planning estimates the cost of potential BMPs for inclusion in the CIP. Specific BMP selection and design are undertaken during project design. The CIP also includes collaborative projects with the watershed districts. The city is open to working together with the districts to identify additional projects or opportunities to integrate water resource and conservation protection, including working with the Minnehaha Creek district in advancing its Balanced Urban Ecology policy. The city also intends to prepare a Natural Resource Management Plan to identify, prioritize, and recommend restoration and management strategies for all public natural areas, and will consult with the various WMOs to obtain their input and feedback. This CIP is reviewed and updated annually, and additional projects may be added as more or better information is available or as opportunities arise. 5.3 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FUNDING The city will fund the Implementation Program (IP) through a combination of sources. The primary source of funds will be Stormwater Utility Fees. The types of activities included in the IP can be categorized as operations and maintenance; programs and special studies; and capital projects. Operations and maintenance and most of the proposed programs and special studies would be funded by the Stormwater Utility, the General Fund, or the Water Surcharge Fund. For capital projects, other sources of funding may be available to supplement Stormwater Utility Funds: matching funds from the watershed districts, contributions from other agencies for cooperative projects, or grant funds.

City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan363 Page | 5-15 5.4 ADDRESSING IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS AND ISSUES As noted earlier in Table 3.2 of this Plan, the planning process revealed a number of problems and issues. Table 5.4 repeats those by category, and describes how each was addressed in this Plan. Table 5.4. Implementation actions addressing identified problems and issues. Category Identified Problems and Issues Identified Solutions Water Quality Conditions Lakes and streams are listed on the Clean Water Act Section 303(d) TMDL List of Impaired Waters. The CIP includes, and will periodically be updated to include projects to achieve pollutant load and runoff volume reductions to address listed impairments and NPDES permit requirements. Nonpoint source pollution reduction is necessary through maintenance practices such as street sweeping, sump manhole cleaning, and BMP inspections. The city has an ongoing program of routine and targeted street sweeping and sump manhole cleaning. Public BMPs will continue to be systematically inspected. Maintenance activities and projects programmed into the CIP. Drainage and Flooding Near stream gullies and escarpments should be addressed to control sediment deposition into surface waters and to protect property and infrastructure. The city will continue to work with WMOs to protect existing and improve flood storage capacity through targeted BMPs and increased street sweeping. The city will prioritize BMPs that protect or repair highly erodible and sensitive soil areas in the Bluff Creek Overlay District. Regulatory Requirements and Operational Policies Atlas 14 updated precipitation frequency data is available for adoption. The city will require stormwater modeling work to use Atlas 14 precipitation depths and nested distributions. Approaches such as Minimal Impact Development and Integrated Management Practices are available to reduce the public expenditures necessary to control runoff and protect and improve water quality. The city will continue to work with developers to incorporate standards into new development and redevelopment. The City’s approved NPDES permit and SWPPP requires ordinance revisions and operating program enhancements. City Code will be revised within 12 months to incorporate volume management and water quality requirements. City goals, policies and ordinances to help protect natural resources may need review and refinement. The city currently has ordinances in place protecting steep slopes and bluffs, shorelands, wetlands, and the Bluff Creek Overlay District Water-Based Recreation Needs Water quality should be protected and improved to protect and enhance recreational opportunities. This Plan includes a number of capital projects and maintenance programs intended to improve water quality to better support fishing, swimming and boating. Control of aquatic invasive species (AIS) continues to be an important concern The city will continue to work with CCWMO, watershed districts, lake associations, and DNR to undertake AIS program activities such as watercraft inspections, biocontrol, fish restocking, or other similar activities. Maintenance Requirements BMP maintenance and repair requirements have been identified during NPDES The city will continue to systematically assess the condition of public BMPs. The CIP includes City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan364 Page | 5-16 Category Identified Problems and Issues Identified Solutions inspections, including restoration of storage capacity, repair of erosion, and prevention of future problems. and will periodically be updated to include projects identified in the pond inventory and inspections. Street sweeping, sump manhole cleaning, and BMP inspections are necessary on an ongoing basis to help reduce nonpoint source pollutant loads. The maintenance program includes provisions for regular and special street sweeping; inspection and maintenance of sump manholes and catch basins; basin inspections and repairs; illicit discharge detection; and erosion control. Education and Outreach Education and outreach efforts could be expanded with a focus on targeted groups with new and expanded educational opportunities. Opportunities exist with CCWMO and other organizations to improve efficiency and reduce duplication of efforts. Education and outreach efforts will be continued including written and electronic communications, and opportunities for participation by citizen volunteers such as the Wetland Health Evaluation Program (WHEP) and the Citizen Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP) for lakes. Increase collaboration and coordination with CCWMO and other organizations. Financial Resources Financial resources are limited, requiring that projects be prioritized. The budget in this Plan prioritizes operating programs and projects to address both regulatory and operational needs and water resource improvements. The city will continue to leverage available funding by collaborating with partners and seeking grant funding. Groundwater Protection The LWMP should be coordinated with the Wellhead Protection Program and Carver County Groundwater Plan (2016) so that policies that encourage infiltration and groundwater recharge are consistent with the policies to protect sensitive groundwater recharge areas. Infiltration requirements are integrated with Wellhead Protection requirements and Carver County Groundwater Plan (2016) to protect groundwater quality. Seminary Fen is a rare calcareous fen and Assumption Creek is a trout stream, both of which are dependent on groundwater. The city participates in the Met Council’s Seminary Fen Work Group to study the effects of groundwater pumping on Seminary Fen. City ordinance imposes stringent standards on development and redevelopment in the Assumption Creek drainage area. Collaboration Opportunities There are opportunities for collaboration with other agencies such as the watershed districts, the Three Rivers Regional Park District, and state agencies to leverage expertise and resources to finance and construct improvements. The city will continue to collaborate with the watershed districts to identify and complete capital projects and pursue opportunities with development and redevelopment projects.

It provides the specific uses and site requirements that are allowed on an individual proper- ty consistent with the general framework established by the Land Use Plan. The following zoning districts are for reference, and are in effect as of July 1, 2019, and the current version of the Zoning Code is available online https:// library.municode.com/mn/chanhassen/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=CICO_CH20ZO. Future changes to this information in the appendix would not require a Plan amendment. The city is divided into the following zoning districts: Agricultural districts: “A-2” Agricultural estate district The intent of the “A-2” District is preservation of rural character while respecting development patterns by allowing single-family residential development. Residential districts: “RR” Rural residential district The intent of the “RR” District is to provide for single-family residential subdivisions intended for large lot developments. “RSF” Single-family residential district The intent of the “RSF” District is to provide for single-family residential subdivisions. “R-4” Mixed low density residential district The intent of the “R-4” District is to provide for single-family detached and attached residential development at a maximum net density of four dwelling units per acre. “RLM” Residential Low and Medium Density district The intent of the “RLM” District is to provide for single-family attached or detached residential development on land guided residential-low or medium density in the city’s comprehensive plan with a maximum net density of eight units per acre. The “RLM” District is intended to be used where large areas of upland will be preserved or created as permanent open space to balance the higher lot coverage permitted on individual lots. “R-8” Mixed medium density residential district The intent of the “R-8” District is to provide for single-family detached or attached residential development at a maximum net density of eight dwelling units per acre. “R-12” High density residential district The intent of the “R-12” District is to provide for townhouses and multifamily residential structures at a maximum density of 12 dwelling units per acre. “R-16” High density residential district The intent of the “R-16” District is to provide for multifamily residential structures at a maximum net density of 16 dwelling units per acre on land guided for high density residential uses by the city comprehensive plan. Business districts: “BN” Neighborhood business district The intent of the “BN” District is to provide for limited low intensity neighborhood retail and service establishments to meet daily needs of residents. City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan376 “BH” Highway and business services district The intent of the “BH” District is to provide for highway oriented commercial development restricted to a low building profile. “CBD” Central business district The intent of the “CBD” District is to provide for downtown business development supporting a strong central busi- ness district while enhancing the overall character of the community in conformance with downtown redevelopment plan, goals and objectives. “CC” Community commercial district (a) The intent of the Community Commercial District is to provide for moderate to large-sized commercial devel- opment. These large-scale commercial and office users need high visibility along arterial roads. While smaller scale ancillary commercial uses may be permitted integral to the principal use, the primary use of a building shall be me- dium to large-type users with a minimum tenant space of 15,000 square feet. The intent of the district is to accom- modate larger uses. The creation of multi-tenant, small user, strip centers is prohibited. (b) Location criteria for community commercial uses are: Access to arterial and collector streets, preferably at in- tersections with collector and arterial streets; moderate to large-sized sites; public water and sewer service; environ- mental features such as soils and topography suitable for compact development; and adequate buffering by physical features or adjacent uses to protect nearby residential development. (c) The total building area on a single level or floor for an individual use shall be no more than 65,000 square feet. “BG” General business district The intent of the “BG” District is to provide for downtown fringe commercial development identified as the least restricted business district. “BF” Fringe business district The intent of the “BF” District is to accommodate limited commercial uses temporary in nature without urban services, while maintaining the integrity, minimizing impact, and protecting the natural environment. When urban services are available, land use may change to a higher and improved use of the property. Institutional and industrial districts: “OI” Office and institutional district The intent of the “OI” District is to provide for public or quasi-public nonprofit uses and professional business and administrative offices. “IOP” Industrial office park district The intent of the “IOP” District is to provide an area identified for large-scale light industrial and commercial planned development. Special districts: “PUD” Planned unit development Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater variety of uses, internal transfers of density, construction phasing and a potential for lower development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the city has the expectation that the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive propos- al than would have been the case with the use of other, more standard zoning districts. It will be the applicant’s City of Chanhassen 2040 Comprehensive Plan377 responsibility to demonstrate that the city’s expectation is to be realized as evaluated against the following criteria. Planned unit developments are to encourage the following: (1) Preservation of desirable site characteristics and open space and protection of sensitive environmental features, including steep slopes, mature trees, creeks, wetlands, lakes and scenic views. (2) More efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities through mixing of land uses and assem- bly and development of land in larger parcels. (3) High quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned. Site planning, landscaping and building architecture should reflect higher quality design than is found elsewhere in the community. (4) Sensitive development in transitional areas located between different land uses and along significant corridors within the city. (5) Development which is consistent with the comprehensive plan. (6) Parks and open space. The creation of public open space may be required by the city. Such park and open space shall be consistent with the comprehensive park plan and overall trail plan. (7) Provision of housing affordable to all income groups if appropriate within the PUD. (8) Energy conservation through the use of more efficient building designs and sightings and the clustering of build- ings and land uses. (9) Use of traffic management and design techniques including the provision of transit and pedestrian linkages to re- duce the potential for traffic conflicts. Improvements to area roads and intersections may be required as appropriate. Where appropriate, the use of transportation demand management strategies may be required within a project. “FW” Floodway district, “FF” Flood fringe district and “GFP” General floodplain district Purpose: (1) This article regulates development in the flood hazard areas of the City of Chanhassen. These flood hazard areas are subject to periodic inundation, which may result in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disrup- tion of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base. It is the purpose of this article to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare by minimizing these losses and disruptions. (2) National Flood Insurance Program compliance. This article is adopted to comply with the rules and regulations of the National Flood Insurance Program codified as 44 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 59 - 78, as amended, so as to maintain the community’s eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program. (3) This article is also intended to preserve the natural characteristics and functions of watercourses and floodplains in order to moderate flood and stormwater impacts, improve water quality, reduce soil erosion, protect aquatic and riparian habitat, provide recreational opportunities, provide aesthetic benefits and enhance community and economic development. “S” Shoreland district Policy: The uncontrolled use of shorelands of Chanhassen affects the public health, safety and general welfare not only by contributing to pollution of public waters, but also by impairing the local tax base. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the public health, safety and welfare to provide for the wise subdivision, use and development of shore- lands of public waters. The legislature of Minnesota has delegated responsibility to local governments of the state to regulate the subdivision, use and development of the shorelands of public waters and thus preserve and enhance the quality of surfacewaters, conserve the economic and natural environmental values of shorelands, and provide for the wise use of waters and related land resources. This responsibility is hereby recognized by Chanhassen.

The maximum building setback from the highway right-of-way for all build- ings except single-family residences shall be 150 feet. No maximum building setback shall apply to single-family residences. (b) On building lots within the HC-2 district that abut either of the access boulevards parallel to Highway 5, the minimum building setback from the boulevard right-of-way shall be 50 feet. The maximum building setback from the boulevard right-of-way shall be 100 feet. “BCO” Bluff Creek Overlay District The city intends that all development within the district including commercial, industrial and residential uses should blend into the natural environment while protecting Bluff Creek and sensitive land areas abutting and in the vicinity of the watercourse and its tributaries. The criteria by which new development in the district shall be judged are as follows: (a) Consistency with all provisions of the Comprehensive Plan which includes the Bluff Creek Watershed Natural Resources Management Plan, as amended from time to time; the surface water management plan; all provisions of the zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance not specifically overridden by the provisions of this district; and all other applicable land use regulations. (b) Preservation of the natural conditions found in the primary zone and to the greatest extent possible, preserving significant resources and minimizing impacts in the secondary zone through cluster development and other practices which minimize the removal of vegetation, minimize site grading, and application of practices found in the city’s surface water management plan. (c) Creation of a suitable balance between the amount and arrangement of open space, landscaping, view protection, bluff protection, and vegetation protection and the design and function of manmade features. (d) Creation of an interconnected open space network that preserves migratory patterns for wildlife. (e) Creation of an interconnected open space network that provides recreational and educational opportunities for people.
