II SUBJ: Authorize Interim Sewer and Water Service, Beddor Property
West 184th Street and Trunk Highway 5
File No. PW156

Attached is a letter from Mr. Daryl Fortier on behalf of Mr.
I Frank Beddor requesting that the City of Chanhassen confirm in
writing that the City, on an interim basis, would be willing to
provide utility services to the 42 acres of land located on the
northeast corner of 184th Street and Trunk Highway 5 (see map) .
I As the Council may or may not be aware, the City of Eden Prairie
is in the feasibility phase for completing the northerly connec-
tion of 184th Street to their adjoining roadway (Dell Road) .
1 Eden Prairie officials have indicated to me that the City is not
anticipating providing water service to this location until such
time as the Trunk Highway 5 roadway improvements are constructed.
I Of course, what with the accelerated schedule now in place for
this portion of Trunk Highway 5 , this could be in place as early
as 1990 . Mr. Fortier is correct in stating that the City does
have sanitary sewer and watermain stubs at the intersection of
I 184th Street and West 77th Street. These were installed with the
Park One project.
ISanitary Sewer Service
I reviewed this matter with the City' s consultant (RCM) for the
Park One Project. This review indicates to me that the
1 wastewater pump station for the Park One project was designed to
service 22 acres within the City of Chanhassen , or a peak flow
rate of 120 gallons per minute. No allowance was provided in __. .
1 this station for servicing the Beddor or other property outside
of the City. Modifications could be made to the pump station
such as installation of larger motors and impellers at con-
siderable expense which would increase the capacity of this sta-
tion to accommodate perhaps an additional 20 acres , but certainly
not the 42 acres mentioned in Mr. Fortier' s letter. We also have
some capacity restrictions in the gravity sewers where this force-

main discharges in that it is a 8-inch sanitary sewer line '
which at minimum grade has a capacity of approximately 300
gallons per minute. I therefore believe it would be difficult if
not impossible for the City to commit to servicing the Beddor
property without significantly impacting the developability of
the existing vacant properties within this service area. Other
options may exist for Mr. Beddor such as constructing his own
pumping station , however, he still needs to find a gravity sewer
line with sufficient capacity to accommodate his flow rate.
Water Service
At times such as this when we are encountering watering bans and
restrictions , it is hard to imagine adding an additional wet
industry into our system. As Council is aware, we are taxed at
present to accommodate even our existing users. This is
obviously impacted by any further improvements in capacity which
the Council may consider for the water system such as the comple-
tion of the Lake Lucy Road trunk watermain improvement project
and/or the construction of an additional well. Staff is
currently in the process of updating our existing consumption
projections to get a better handle on where we stand with the
need for future water system expansion. This should be complete
in the near future and will give us a better idea as to the abi- II lity to accommodate this additional request . At this point in
time, unless the developer was willing to agree to allow the City
to shut water off to their business under a crisis situation as
determined by the City (which I believe would be a very unmanage-
able situation for them) , it is difficult to say with certainty
that we could guarantee their connection into our system.
At this point in time I would have to advise the Council that a ,
waste water connection for this property would be impractical
without impacting our ability to service other vacant property in
the Park One service area. From the standpoint of the water con-
nection, it is impossible to make a commitment until the results
of our usage update is completed. It may turn out that without
the City ' s installation of any additional well capacity, that we
would be hard pressed to accommodate any additional wet industry
at this time. I therefore have to recommend that at this time
the City cannot commit to servicing this property with sewer and
water. Concerning water services , this can be reviewed once the
system update has been completed, however, it appears from a . .
wastewater standpoint we are very restricted in our ability to
serve.

Dear Gary: ,i 1;,'
As you know from our recent discussions, Mr. Frank Beddor, Jr.
presently owns the 42 acres of land in Eden Prairie immediately east ,N-� r
of The Press, Inc. Although this property was originally purchased i;;'';'''
' with the intent of expanding his graphic arts facilities, those plans ,
have been altered and it appears that the land will be sold for
development by others.
IIWe are asking for' confirmation in writing that the City of
Chanhassen, on an interim basis, would be willing to provide utility
IIservices to this development.
Although it is early in the development process, it appears that the
new facility will be approximately 200,000 to 250,000 S.F. in size
' and will be similar in operations to The Press, Inc. After my review
with Roger Janzec of the Metropolitan Waste Commission, the proposed
facility would be assessed 42 SAC units. That would equate to water
I , consumption of approximately 1 million gallons per three months.
However, it should be noted that such an assessment is a rather high
average. The Press, Inc. in Chanhassen, by the same formulas, would
generate 37 SAC units and would result in a water consumption of
I 915,000 gallons of water per three months. In checking with The
''''.`:, Press, Inc. , we have learned that their water consumption is 605,000
-,., _rgallons of water per three months. We have found the same
infrmati true at Instant Web, Inc. ; United Mailing, Inc. ; and
I ' oon
', ,, Victory Envelope, Inc. It appears that the Metropolitan Waste '
"' Commission assessments are uniformly high by about 50% over actual
ILusage when addressing large, single users buildings of an
office/industrial nature. The disparity between assessment and i' `';i,ra I.
actual usage becomes even �,
9 greater when you consider that The Press, ,�: ,,.
Inc. operates a 24-hour shift and often 7 days a week.
I .
The request for temporary service from Chanhassen is, of course, not , '7�,
new. This issue has been discussed numerous times with your ° i7PI

I predecessor and has been before our Cit Council as .;,'.>:;:1-'

We are seeking this confirmation only to provide reasonable
assurances to this development that utility services can be made
available. This does not mean that the development will indeed
require a hook-up to the Chanhassen utilities. Rather, it is quite
' possible that utility services will be made available through Eden ; ,
Prairie. Should the utilities at Eden Prairie not be available; then ' '1,
the developer would probably seek utilities from Chanhassen on an ' s
interim basis until permanent facilities are available through Eden
Pr faire.
If you have any questions regarding this request, or if I can be of
further assistance, please do not hesitate to call. 1
Yours truly,
