DOWNTOWN VISION PLAN UPDATE
Additional considerations:
•More focus on creating identity and an
attractive high quality environment
downtown
•New development should add to the
quality of the downtown experience
Vision Statement 1:
The vision for the Chanhassen downtown is for it to be the focus for
commercial exchange, cultural expression, social interaction and

Additional considerations:
•Major commercial/retail brands are
reducing ‘small town’ atmosphere
•Improve walkability, small towns are
walkable.
•Clearly define what ‘small town’
atmosphere means to Chanhassen,
development should reflect that vision
Vision Statement 2:
It is a downtown which incorporates and maintains elements of the past,
such as it’s historical and natural features, “small town” atmosphere and its
entertainment focus, but is planned to be adaptable to change – changes
in technology, changes in service deliveries, and changes in retailing and
entertainment.

DOWNTOWN VISION PLAN UPDATE
Additional considerations:
•Confusing statement, clarify language
•Emphasis on serving local/near-by
residents should be the priority
•Development should only be ‘captured’ if
it fits the overall vision, enhances the
downtown atmosphere, and improves the

Guiding Principles:
1. Build community | Chanhassen’s downtown is the focus of the community’s
culture. Constructing a downtown provides opportunities to build a commitment
to Chanhassen as “the place,” to reinforce the traditions of the community and to
strengthen the ties between its citizens.

own and create their own individual
energy first before they can coalesce into a
collective ‘place’

Implementation Preview
DOWNTOWN VISION PLAN UPDATE
Implementation - Connections
–Enhance crosswalks and pedestrian landing areas along major
streets in the Downtown (Hwy 5, 78th Street, Market Blvd. Great
Plains Blvd, etc.).
–Implementing a “pedestrian priority phase” for signalized
intersections allowing a head start for people walking or bicycling
across the street. (already underway)
–Enhancement of sidewalks, plazas, and other connections
between particular developments in Downtown, to encourage
walking and biking from destination to destination.
–Enhanced private walkways to connect storefronts to the
walkways and trails located in the public right-of-way.
–Maintain lower traffic speeds in the Downtown area.
DOWNTOWN VISION PLAN UPDATE
Implementation – Public Realm
–Consider the creation of a City-led plan for public spaces
(including plans for new public streets and enhanced
streetscapes, and potential civic plazas or gathering places) that
includes conceptual plans, cost estimates, and schedules for
completion, as development in the Downtown area proceeds.
–Consider the creation of a formal future street and mobility plan
for Downtown, which would formally establish the future
alignments for internal roads (as well as sidewalks and
promenades) that would connect the different districts within
downtown.
–Encourage additional landscaping, boulevard trees, site
furnishings, seasonal decor, unique paving and pedestrian scaled
lighting to enhance the pedestrian experience.
DOWNTOWN VISION PLAN UPDATE
Implementation – Sub -Districts
–Further articulation of the sub -districts as identified in the
Downtown Vision Plan to help guide expectations for urban
design and development aesthetics within the Downtown area.
–Consider the refinement of the identified sub -districts to
determine desired locations for mixed use projects in the
Downtown area.
–Consider the creation of a formal incentives policy for Downtown,
including potentially a formal scoring system in which projects
that meet specific criteria tied to the Downtown Vision (in terms of
enhancing the aesthetic appeal of Downtown, walkability, and
other factors) would achieve better scores and therefore have a
better chance of gaining approval of incentives
DOWNTOWN VISION PLAN UPDATE
Implementation - Design
–Consider Design Guidelines on a sub-district basis that articulate the desired
height & relationship to the street for buildings, public realm features and
overall design aesthetic to help guide the quality and character expected within
the different sub-districts of Downtown.
–Consider changes in zoning requirements for various sub-districts within
Downtown, articulating the desired mix of uses, height and scale for buildings in
Downtown.
–Consider a reduction in parking requirements for mixed use and retail projects in
Downtown.
–Consider the facilitation of shared parking arrangements between different
property owners in Downtown, particularly with mixed use projects combining
retail, office and residential.
–Consider working with property owners across the downtown to create a “park
once” environment, in which visitors could park in one location and traverse
from business to business in Downtown Chanhassen without driving, in order to
minimize traffic congestion
DOWNTOWN VISION PLAN UPDATE
Implementation - Outreach
–Consider efforts for on-going recruit of entertainment-oriented
and unique specialty tenants (i.e. brewery/distillery or other
restaurants/entertainment) to locate downtown districts
•Work with prospective developers to integrate restaurant or
entertainment uses within their projects.
–Consider recruitment of developers experienced in mixed-use to
explore and pursue projects in Downtown Chanhassen.
–Ongoing networking with and recruitment of developers to
consider project opportunities in the Downtown Chanhassen area
•Ongoing interaction at regional development organizations such as
Urban Land Institute (ULI) and at national conferences such as the
International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC).

Subject Code Amendments Discussion: Brewery, Pervious Pavers, Bees, Business Fringe District, and
Adult Day Care
Section 5:00 P.M. WORK SESSION Item No: A.3.
Prepared By MacKenzie Walters, Assistant Planner File No:
BACKGROUND
Staff periodically reviews areas of the City Code that could potentially be amended to close loopholes, remove
obsolete provisions, improve clarity, or allow for increased flexibility. Our practice is to bring these issues and potential
solutions to the City Council’s attention. If the council upon reviewing these items directs staff to amend the City Code,
items requiring a Public Hearing will go before the Planning Commission on May 15, 2018 before returning to the City
Council on June 11, 2018 with the Planning Commission’s recommendation for a vote.
Staff has attached issued papers on the following topics to this report:
1. Craft Alcohol Production
2. Beekeeping
3. Fringe Business District Uses
4. Adult Daycare (accessory use in Office Industrial)
5. Pervious Pavers
A brief summary of each item and staff's recommendation can be found in the following section. An expanded issue
paper including proposed changes to the City Code is provided as an attachment for each item.
Staff is also working on an amendment to the city's sign ordinance to permit the installation of "pickup area" signage,
similar to the sign present in Target's parking lot. Staff wants to make sure that our sign ordinance allows brick and
mortar retailers to remain competitive in a market that is increasingly oriented towards online shopping.
DISCUSSION
Craft Alcohol Production
Issue Summary:
There has been significant interest within the city around attracting a brewery or microdistillery; however, the city’s
current ordinance limits these facilities to industrial areas and does not permit brewpubs, taprooms, or cocktail rooms.
In order to permit these types of uses the city would need to create zoning standards for these uses, establish what
zoning districts they are permitted in, and create the appropriate liquor licenses.

zoning districts they are permitted in, and create the appropriate liquor licenses.
Proposed Solution:
Staff is proposing allowing microdistilleries and smaller breweries, those producing less than 3,500 barrels a year, with
cocktail rooms/taprooms to locate in appropriate commercial and industrial districts as a permitted use, subject to
general performance standards. Breweries producing over 3,500 barrels a year would require a conditional use
permit. Staff is proposing the creation of cocktail room, taproom, and small brew offsale licenses along with an
amendment to the city’s temporary liquor license to allow for craft alcohol production.
Beekeeping
Issue Summary:
Multiple residents have contacted city staff requesting that the city reexamine is policy of classifying honey bees as
farm animals and restricting them to parcels of at least 10 acres in size. Staff conducted a review of how other cities in
the area regulate honey bees and found a roughly even split between cities that allow them on most singlefamily lots
and those that treat them as agricultural animals or ban them outright. Many cities that place heavy restrictions on bees
do so due to the potential for bees to create nuisances; however, staff feels that setbacks, limits on the number of hives
permitted, minimum lot sizes, and trained beekeepers can significantly mitigate these concerns.
Proposed Solution:
Permit bees on lots onehalf acre or larger and establish performance standards to minimize the risk of bees become a
nuisance for surrounding properties. The proposed performance standards will limit the number of hives based on lot
size (.51 acres =2 hives; 12.5 acres =4 hives; 2.510 acres = 8 hives; and 10+ acres = no limit) and require hives to
be setback at least 25 feet from developed properties.
Fringe Business District Uses
Issue Summary:
The current Fringe Business District (BF) does not align with the current land use map. The city’s 2040 land use plan
guides the parcels currently zoned BF for office industrial, mixed use, residential medium density, and residential high
density land uses. The Highway 101/61 study commissioned by the city in 2014 envisions many of these parcels as
being part of the city’s southern gateway (study is attached). Some uses allowed as permitted or conditional uses
within the BF district are not compatible with area's anticipated future zoning. Uses should be classified as interim
when they represent an activity that will become unsuitable as an area develops.
Proposed Solution:
Staff proposes amending Section 20322(4) to read “date or event,” and amend the BF zoning district to classify
wholesale nursery/green house/no retail, automotive dealer/rentals, commercial kennels, and commercial stables as
interim uses.
Adult Daycare in Office Institutional Districts
Issue Summary:
Churches have expressed interest in providing adult daycare services as an accessory use within the Office Industrial
(OI) district; however, the City Code prohibits adult daycares within the OI district.
Proposed Solution:
Staff proposes amending the City Code to allow adult daycares as a permitted accessory use for churches within OI
districts.

Pervious Pavements
Issue Summary:
A significant number of Chanhassen’s residents live on properties that are at or above the maximum amount of lot
coverage permitted for their zoning district. For the last year staff has been investigating the possibility of allowing
residents to utilize permeable pavements to exceed existing lot coverage caps and provide residents with an option
other than requesting a lot coverage variance. Since lot coverage is linked to both stormwater management and the
overall intensity of land use within the city, it is important to balance the benefits of allowing increased lot coverage with
its potential consequences. The city must also make sure that any proposed change to the ordinance will satisfactorily
address the issue of constrained properties.
Proposed Solution:
Staff believes that allowing homes located in Residential Single Family Districts outside of the Shoreland Management
District five percent additional lot coverage in the form of pervious pavement will provide flexibility for homeowners
looking to improve their properties while minimizing the potential for negative impacts. Staff recommends requiring
homeowners to design these systems in line with accepted professional standards, requiring contractors installing these
systems to be appropriately certified, and requiring homeowners to enter into a maintenance agreement to mitigate the
potential impact of these systems.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests City Council direction on how to address these issues.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM: MacKenzie Walters, Assistant Planner
Bob Generous, Senior Planner
DATE: April 23, 2018
SUBJ: Issue Paper – City Code for Craft Alcohol Production
Issue
Various entities have contacted the city to inquire about the possibility of opening a brewery or
distillery in Chanhassen; however, the City Code does not currently permit the licensing of
brewpubs, taprooms, or cocktail rooms.
Examples
Brewpub: Granite City Food & Brewery, 5500 Excelsior Boulevard, St. Louis Park
Taproom: Excelsior Brewing Company, 421 3rd St. Excelsior
Cocktail rooms: J. Carver Distillery, 1320 Mill Ln, Waconia
Background
In 2011 Minnesota passed the “Surely Bill” which allowed brewers to directly sell their own beer
on site, pending the appropriate municipal licenses. This law and its subsequent amendments
allow cities to create and issue cocktail room licenses, on- and off- sale licenses for brew pubs,
brewer taproom licenses, and small brewer off-sale licenses. Cities may also authorize Sunday
on-sale for holders of brewer taproom licenses, and Sunday off-sale for holders of small brewer
off-sale licenses. Cocktail room licenses are limited to distilleries producing less than 40,000
proof gallons a year. Brew pubs are restricted from selling more than 3,500 barrels a year.
Brewer taproom license are limited to breweries producing less than 250,000 barrels a year.
Small brewer off-sale licenses can only be issued to breweries producing less than 20,000 barrels
are year.
Cideries, facilities that produce hard cider, have also been gaining popularity; however,
Minnesota law currently classifies hard cider as a wine which means the above licenses cannot
be applied to cideries. A brief discussion on what steps the city would need to take to permit a
cidery is included in the analysis section. It is possible that as craft cideries gain in popularity
state law will be changed to treat them more similarly to craft breweries and distilleries.
Many communities have amended their ordinances to take advantage of these provisions and
allow taprooms, brew pubs, cocktail rooms, and other craft alcohol production and consumption
venues. The increased permissiveness and flexibility in state and local laws, along with a
growing market for craft alcohol, has led to a proliferation of craft alcohol producers.
2
With the rapid growth of the craft alcohol industry and Chanhassen’s strong demographics there
has been interest in opening one of these facilities in our community. The City Code does not
currently allow the city to license taprooms, cocktail rooms, or brew pubs, and any alcohol
production would be restricted to Industrial Office Park Districts (IOP). The city may wish to
preemptively consider if it wishes to allow craft alcohol production and under what terms.
Relevant State laws:
Minn. Stat. 340A.101-Definitions: Defines alcohol related terms like brewer, brewery, brewpub,
etc.
Minn. Stat. 340A.22-Microdistilleries: Specifies that microdistilleries can provide samples and
that municipalities may create a cocktail room license allowing the on-sale of their product along
with an off-sale license.
Minn. Stat. 340A.24-Brew Pubs: Grants municipalities the power to create and grant on-sale and
off-sale licenses to brew pubs and restricts what companies can open brew pubs and limits brew
pubs’ off-sale volume.
Minn. Stat. 340A.26-Brewer Taprooms: Lets cities grant a brewer taproom license to qualifying
breweries. It also allows for Sunday on-sale, if authorized by the city.
Minn. Stat. 340A.28-Small Brewer Off-Sale: States that municipalities may issue small brewer
off-sale licenses, and stipulates volume and product off-sale limits.
Minn. Stat. 340A.285-Growlers: Places limits on the packaging of malt liquor sold under
340A.24 and 340A.28.
Minn. Stat. 340A.301-Manufacturers, Brewers, and Wholesalers Licenses: Governs the state
level licensing of alcohol producers.
Minn. Stat. 340A.510-Samples: Allows for and places limits on alcohol producer’s providing
product samples.
Impacted City Code:
Chapter 1-General Provisions, Sec. 1-2. – Rules of construction and definitions: Need to add
definitions for various terms relating to alcohol production.
Chapter 4-License, Permit, and Administrative Fee, Article II. – License and other business and
public safety related fees, Sec. 4-15. – Fees set.: Need to set fees for new liquor licenses.
Chapter 10 – Licenses, Permits and Miscellaneous Business Regulations, Article II. – Alcoholic
Beverages, Division 2 – Retail licenses, Sec. 10-19. – Types of license.: Will need to create and
3
define licenses allowing for taprooms, brew pubs, cocktail rooms, and add breweries and
microdistillaries to temporary liquor license, etc.
Chapter 20 – Zoning, Article IV. – Conditional, Division 4. – Standards for business, office,
institutional and industrial districts: CUP criteria will have to be added for breweries with
taprooms producing over 3,500 barrels per year.
Chapter 20 – Zoning, Article XVII. – “BH” Highway and business services district. Will need to
add to uses and conditional uses.
Chapter 20 – Zoning, Article XVIII. – “CBD” Central Business district. Will need to add to uses
and conditional uses.
Chapter 20 – Zoning, Article XIX. – “BG” General business district. Will need to add to uses
and conditional uses.
Chapter 20 – Zoning, Article XXII. – “IOP” Industrial office park district. Will need to add to
uses and conditional uses.
Chapter 20- Zoning, Article XXIII. – General Supplemental Regulations, Division 2.-
Performance Standards: Will need to add standards for taprooms, brew pubs, and cocktail
rooms.
Chapter 20 – Zoning, Article XXIV. – Off-Street parking and loading, Division 2. – Parking and
loading, Sec. 20-1124. – Required number of on-site parking spaces: Will need to add parking
requirements.
Analysis
Issue 1: Size
Craft alcohol production can take a wide variety of forms and occur at vastly different intensities
ranging from 250,000 barrel a year operations to nano-breweries producing well under 500
barrels a year. From a legal stand point important distinctions are made for breweries at the
250,000 (maximum size for a taproom), 20,000 (maximum size for growler off-sale), and 3,500
barrel (maximum size for a brew pub) marks and for distilleries at the 40,000 proof gallon
(maximum size for a microdistillery) mark.
Due to concerns about the potential for breweries and distilleries to generate offensive odors and
large volumes of truck traffic, many municipalities choose to limit the size of breweries,
especially those located in commercial and business districts. The most common thresholds are
3,500, 5,000, or 20,000 barrels. Communities which selected a limit of 5,000 barrels did so
because it was the initial production limit for growler off-sale; however, as more and more
breweries have expanded the state raised the limit to 20,000 barrels. Some cities have
subsequently amended their ordinances to allow for an upward limit of 20,000 barrels, but most
have kept the initial limit of 5,000 barrels. To provide context, Fulton Brewery in Minneapolis
has an annual production of just over 20,000 barrels and is the 5th largest brewery in Minnesota.
4
In most communities the limits placed upon brewery size follows the statutory thresholds
because it is convenient for the purpose of licensing, and also because breweries of similar sizes
generate vastly different levels of traffic. Frequency of brewing and distribution methods all
factor into the frequency and size of a brewery’s shipments. Similarly, the presence or absence of
a taproom and its size contribute substantially to a brewery’s trip generation. Since each brewery
has a substantially different traffic impact there is no good data available for projecting the
traffic that will be generated by a typical brewery of a specified size. The same variables apply to
microdistilleries as well.
The other major size related concern is the potential for craft alcohol producers to generate
offensive odors. Typically, a brewery gives off a yeasty smell similar to that of a bakery on days
when brewing is occurring and microdistillaries can produce odors when aging their product.
Cities with experience with craft alcohol producers do not report receiving complaints about
odors generated by these uses in commercial and business districts, and anecdotally the scent
generated is reported to be in line with that of a similarly sized bakery or restaurant. Again, there
does not seem to be a clear correlation between size and odor generated, or an established
threshold for when the odor becomes offensive.
Limiting brewers to 5,000 barrels and distilleries to 40,000 proof gallons within commercial and
business districts would be consistent with most communities of our size and should not generate
either traffic or odor issues. It may be appropriate to allow distribution oriented brewers in
industrial districts to produce up to 20,000 barrels. Concerns about the impact of craft alcohol
producers on adjacent properties should be mitigated by classifying breweries producing over
3,500 barrels as conditional uses.
Issue 2: Type of facility
Craft alcohol producers often wish to have an onsite taproom or cocktail room, and some also
operate on-site restaurants. Craft alcohol producers with these types of associated on-sale
activities can take on the feel of bars or restaurants have a similar impact on surrounding
properties; however, due to the unique nature of their products and atmosphere they tend to draw
from a larger market area. These types of uses have the capacity to become significant
destinations within a community.
Breweries and distilleries that desire to provide food service have the ability to co-locate a
restaurant onsite with their cocktail room or taproom, if a city’s zoning code permits both alcohol
production and restaurants. Often times breweries and distilleries are located in industrial
districts where restaurants are not permitted. Some cities have placed prohibitions on the holders
of taproom and cocktail room licenses from operating on-site restaurants, but the state licensure
permits establishments to hold both a restaurant and taproom or cocktail room license.
Breweries interested in on-site food service also have the option of operating as brew pub. Brew
pubs are best understood as restaurants with alcohol production as an accessory use. In practice
they operate in a manner virtually indistinguishable from restaurants and have similar impacts.
5
Taprooms and cocktail rooms that do not serve food on site often engage food trucks or allow
patrons to carry in food from home or nearby restaurants. In instances where taprooms are
located adjacent to restaurants and other commercial uses this can help attract visitors and
generate revenue for surrounding businesses. Since Chanhassen does not allow food trucks,
except in conjunction with approved outdoor events, it is anticipated that a taproom or cocktail
room locating in the city would partner with local restaurants to provide food options for their
patrons.
There is not a strong rational for allowing craft alcohol producers but not permitting them to
have taprooms or cocktail rooms, and some communities require that craft alcohol producers
located in commercial districts have an associated taproom or cocktail room. Many communities
choose to regulate the size of these taprooms or cocktail rooms, either by percentage of floor
space or by setting an absolute cap on square footage. The rational for this is presumably to
prevent an intensive commercial use within industrial districts and to avoid the creation of spaces
that function as de facto bars. For most of the city’s industrial districts the limits imposed by the
city’s parking requirements and existing stipulation that no more than 20 percent of floor area
may be retail space would make large taprooms or cocktail rooms unworkable.
Encouraging or requiring craft alcohol producers to have a taproom or cocktail room helps them
to serve as local or regional destinations; however, brewpubs may not have a synergistic effect
with existing businesses as they are a self-contained restaurant. It is not apparent that explicitly
limiting the size of taprooms or cocktail rooms is necessary, although it is a somewhat common
practice.
Issue 3: Permitted versus Conditional Use
Cities that choose to allow taprooms and cocktail rooms have the choice of either allowing them
as a permitted or conditional use. The general trend is for cities to either classify all alcohol
production as a conditional use or to establish size or production volumes beyond which a CUP
is required. Typically, cities allow for higher volumes of production but less retail activity in
industrial districts and lower production limits but larger retail footprints in commercial districts.
Allowing craft alcohol production as a permitted use often makes sense in districts designed for
industrial activities where considerations such as odor, truck traffic, and the location/screening of
loading docks are easily addressed by general conditions or district standards. Other provisions
within City Code, such as parking requirements or a cap on the percentage of an industrial site
that can be used for retail purposes, limit the impact that the taproom or cocktail room can have
upon adjacent land uses. Similarly, allowing a brewpub, which is essentially a restaurant with a
small accessory production element, to locate as a permitted use within commercial districts
makes sense as the existing provisions governing restaurants are often sufficient to address the
brewpub’s impacts.
Since breweries of similar size tend to generate drastically different amounts and types of traffic
depending on their business plan, it can be difficult to account for their potential impacts through
general conditions. For example, a distribution oriented brewery with a small taproom would
have an impact very similar to a food processing plant; whereas, a brewery that sold the vast
majority of its product through its taproom would have an impact very similar to a bar or tavern.
6
A zoning provision allowing a small brewery with associated taproom as a permitted use would
allow for both of these business models without an ability to accommodate their disparate
impacts and needs.
Classifying taprooms and cocktail rooms as conditional uses allows for cities to better evaluate
the proposed use and site in the context of the surrounding sites and ensure that potential
negative impacts are mitigated. Staff believes that hybrid industrial/retail uses like taprooms and
cocktail rooms have unique needs and impacts that justify classifying them as conditional uses
when production volumes exceed 3,500 barrels per year.
Issue 4: Location
One of the reasons that municipalities have been so keen to embrace craft alcohol producers is
that they have the capacity to become destinations with a community. They can draw people to
downtowns or commercial districts and can even serve as catalysts for redevelopment when
located in vacant industrial properties. Some cities restrict all alcohol production, regardless of
scale, to industrial districts, but many allow smaller facilities with associated taprooms/cocktail
rooms to locate in commercial and business districts. Some cities restrict breweries and
distilleries from having an on-site restaurant; whereas, others limit brewpubs to commercial
districts.
The majority of Chanhassen’s commercial properties are located downtown; however, the
recently approved Avienda development will also create a new commercial hub near the
intersection of 212 and Lyman. Since the city does not have a significant inventory of industrial
properties in need of redevelopment, staff believes that commercial districts intended to serve the
entire community or have a regional draw are the most appropriate places to allow taprooms and
cocktail rooms, especially if they have associated restaurants. Some sites zoned for industrial use
may also be appropriate locations for breweries or distilleries with a more distribution oriented
business model where the taprooms or cocktail rooms have a more accessory function. The table
below shows staff’s recommended zoning for craft alcohol producers.
Proposed Craft Alcohol by Commercial and Industrial Districts

barrels)
Taproom/Cocktail

barrels)

Community Commercial (CC) No No No No
General Business District (BG) No Yes CUP Yes
Fringe Business District (BF) No No No No
Office and Institutional District (OI) No No No No
Industrial Office Park (IOP) CUP* CUP CUP No
Note: Production only facilities are currently allowed within the city’s IOP districts as a
conditional use under the “food processing” category.
7
In addition to the above general zoning districts the city also has the ability to create or amend
Planned Unit Development (PUD) Districts. Existing PUDs can be amended to allow craft
alcohol production when their underlying zoning district would otherwise permit it and/or when
the proposed use is a good fit for the district. The inclusion of craft alcohol production in future
PUDs would be established by the Planning Commission and City Council as part of the creation
of those districts; however, staff anticipates that PUDs in areas guided for mixed commercial and
residential uses could be we suited for craft alcohol production.
Issue 5: Parking
Craft alcohol producers with associated retail features have both production and retail
characteristics. This can create difficulties in determining how much parking is appropriate. Most
municipalities have solved this dilemma by requiring the facility’s production area to meet
manufacturing parking requirements and its retail area to meet bar or restaurant parking
requirements. In Chanhassen this would mean one space for each 1,000 square feet of gross
production area and one space for each 50 square feet of gross retail area.
Issue 6: Craft Cider
The City Code allows for the production of craft cider within any area zone IOP, but the
manufacturer would be unable to sell their product on premise. If the manufacturer operated a
restaurant at the location of manufacture the city could issue either a wine license or on-sale
liquor license to the facility. To accommodate this arrangement, the city would need to amend
the zoning code to allow restaurants as an accessory use at a production facility, production as an
accessory use at a restaurant, or create cideries as a permitted use in one or more districts. The
city could also remove the provision from Chapter 10 that prohibits the issuance of on-sale
intoxicating liquor licenses to exclusive liquor stores, but that would decouple alcohol service
from food service and potentially allow for the proliferation of bars.
Since there are currently no state level licenses designed to accommodate cideries and there is
significantly lower interest in craft cider than either craft breweries or distilleries, staff
recommends waiting for state action. If the city were to receive a request to open a cidery under
the current regulatory scheme, the city could examine what ordinance amendments it feels are
appropriate to accommodate the proposed use.
Note: Sociable Cider Werks, a cidery in Minneapolis, does operate a taproom under a brewery
license. This is due to the fact that they use grains and hops as bittering agents rather than spitters
(bitter apples). This means their product is technically graft rather than cider. Graft is classified
as a malt liquor and, thus, its production can be governed by brewery provisions.
Alternatives
1) Wait until the city is approached by a party interested in opening a craft alcohol
production facility and limit any ordinance changes to those specifically required to
accommodate the proposed use.
8
2) Amend the City Code to allow breweries with taprooms and microdistilleries with
cocktail rooms as conditional uses in specific districts.
3) Amend the City Code to allow breweries with taprooms, microdistilleries with cocktail
rooms, and brew pubs as conditional uses in specific districts.
4) Amend the City Code to allow breweries with taprooms and microdistilleries with
cocktail rooms specific districts
5) Amend the City Code to allow breweries with taprooms, microdistilleries with cocktail
rooms, and brew pubs in specific districts.
6) Amend the City Code to allow breweries with taprooms, microdistilleries with cocktail
rooms, and brew pubs in specific districts, with breweries with taprooms producing over
3,500 barrels per year being classified as conditional uses.
Recommendation
Staff believes that a craft alcohol producer with an associated taproom, cocktail room, or
restaurant could be an assent to downtown and recommends alternative 6.
Staff seeks guidance in determining what type of craft alcohol producers and associated retail, if
any, should be allowed and under what conditions.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM: MacKenzie Walters, Assistant Planner
Jill Sinclair, Environmental Resources Specialist
DATE: April 23, 2018
SUBJ: Issue Paper – City Code for Beekeeping
Issue
City staff has received numerous requests from residents asking that the city reexamine its policy
of classifying honey bees as farm animals and limiting them to parcels of at least 10 acres in size.
Summary
The city defines honey bees as farm animals and restricts them to parcels in the rural residential
and agricultural estate districts with a minimum lot size of 10 acres. Staff has received numerous
requests from residents interested in backyard beekeeping to reexamine this policy. The recent
interest in backyard beekeeping is due to increasing awareness of the ecological importance of
pollinators, as well as interest in locally sourced foods.
Staff conducted a review of how other cities in the area regulate honey bees and found a roughly
even split between cities that allow them on most single family lots and those that treat them as
agricultural animals or ban them outright. Many cities that place heavy restrictions on bees do so
due to the potential for bees to create nuisances; however, staff feels that setbacks, limits on the
number of hives permitted, minimum lot sizes, and trained beekeepers can significantly mitigate
these concerns.
Relevant City Code
Sec. 1-2-Rules of construction and definitions: Includes bees under definition of “Farm animals”.
Sec. 20-1001-Keeping: States that farm animals are allowed on farm property zoned A-2 or RR
with a minimum area of 10 acres.
Analysis
Issue 1: Benefits of Beekeeping
Pollinators are an important part of the ecosystem, with numerous plants relying on insects to
transfer pollen between plants to facilitate reproduction. While many different types of insects
and bees serve as pollinators, honey bees are arguably the most well-known pollinators and more
than one third of agricultural crops rely on honey bees for pollination services. In suburban and
2
urban areas, honey bees pollinate the fruit trees and vegetable gardens which provide home
gardeners with apples, blackberries, cauliflower, and other locally grown produce.
The abnormally high die-offs of honey bee colonies in North America since 2007, dubbed
colony collapse disorder, has raised awareness about the importance of the insect and has
contributed to increasing interest in backyard beekeeping. News reports and environmental
organizations have actively promoted backyard beekeeping as a way to help bolster the honey
bee population and as fun hobby.
In addition to their ecological functions, honey bees also produce several products useful to
humans. The most well-known of these products is honey, though beeswax, propolis, and royal
jelly also have commercial value, and many beekeepers express a desire to feel connected to the
source of their food and a preference for consuming locally sourced foods as reasons for getting
involved in beekeeping. The amount of honey produced by a hive can vary wildly from year to
year depending on environmental factors, but many sources indicate that an average harvest of
20-30 pounds of honey per hive per year is typical. Most beekeepers maintain multiple hives and
end up producing more honey than they can consume. Some beekeepers give away the extra
honey while others sell it as a home occupation. The relatively small amount of money, typically
a couple hundred dollars per hive, that can be made from backyard beekeeping means that most
individuals do it as a hobby, rather than as a significant source of income.
In addition to its nutritional value, honey is prized for its antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and
anti-inflammatory properties. Individuals who favor natural remedies use it to treat a variety of
conditions. Other products such as bee pollen and propolis are also used medicinally, with the
latter being used to alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy.
Beekeeping can also serve an education function with community centers and schools choosing
to keep beehives as way to educate children and community members about the natural world.
Honey bees’ role as pollinators and food producers mean that they provide a good starting point
for learning about many aspects of nature and this, coupled with their complicated social
structure and interesting life cycle, provides numerous education opportunities.
Issue 2: Concerns with Beekeeping
A significant number of municipalities restrict beekeeping due to concerns that bees can become
a nuisance or even pose a health risk to surrounding property owners. The potential for bees to
pose a health risk comes from the fact that honey bees have the ability to sting people and some
people can have a significant, even life threatening, allergic reaction to bee stings. Honey bees
are not typically aggressive, but they will sting if they feel their hive is threatened or if they feel
threatened. Many species of honey bee will become defensive if people or animals approach
within 10 to 20 feet of their hive.
Honey bees are fairly peaceful, but other stinging insects can be significantly more aggressive.
This can become an issue if the beekeeper leaves wax combs or other material with trace
amounts of honey out in the open. These items can attract other more aggressive types of bees,
3
wasps, and hornets to the area, increasing the risk that the beekeeper or their neighbors will be
stung.
The tendency of honey bees to take the most direct route to nectar can also cause problems when
hives are located near a neighbor’s property as the bees will fly in a straight line from the hive to
the food source, say a neighbor’s flower garden. Since a healthy hive during midsummer may
have a population as high as 40,000 and 80,000 individuals this can lead to a large number of
bees flying at low altitudes between the hive and nearby destinations. This concern can typically
be mitigated by requiring beehives to be setback from property lines since bees traveling longer
distances will typically fly above tree canopy height, or by installing 6-foot-high flyaway barriers
near the hives to force the bees to gain height upon leaving their home.
Since bees tend to utilize the same route to food sources and defecate in flight there can also be
nuisance issues created if they repeatedly fly over neighboring properties. The cumulative effect
of large numbers of bees flying over patio furniture or parked cars can lead to stains and property
damage. This can be especially problematic in situations where there is a large concentration of
hives utilizing the same flight path.
Bees also need a reliable source of water for honey production. This can create nuisance issues if
the beekeeper does not provide their hives with adequate water. The bees may end up
overwhelming a neighbor’s birdbath or swimming pool area, especially since they are attracted
to smell of chlorine.
There is also the potential for swarming. This occurs when bees go looking for new home.
Swarms do not typically pose a danger to people as the bees are full of honey and have no hive to
protect, hence the bees are at their most docile; however, the appearance of several thousand
bees is understandably alarming. Swarming can typically be avoided by ensuring that the bees
have suitably large hives or that an empty hive is present on your property for the bees to move
into. Beekeepers can also install barriers on the hive’s entrances that allow workers to enter and
exit but block the queen from leaving. Some varieties of bees are also less prone to swarming,
and bee swarms can also be safely collected and relocated by a professional beekeeper.
Issue 3: Survey of Minnesota Cities
The University of Minnesota’s Bee Lab has a list the beekeeping ordinances for 89 Minnesota
cities. Staff went through this list and did supplementary research to determine how cities
permit/license beekeeping and what restrictions are typically placed on it. Staff divided the
cities’ regulatory approaches into three categories, minimal, moderate, and heavy restriction.
Cities that either placed no limit on beekeeping, required a simple permit/registration, or which
placed setback and lot areas limits that most lots zoned single family residential could meet were
classified as minimal restriction. Cities that either outright banned beekeeping or restricted it to
lots over 4 acres in size were categorized as heavy restriction. Cities whose limits fell somewhere
in between are listed as moderate restriction. Staff found that most Cities either had very few
restrictions on beekeeping, 39%, or restrict it to agricultural/rural portions of the city, 46%.
4
A full breakdown of the University of Minnesota’s list and staff’s supplementary research can be
found bellow. Chanhassen’s current approach of classifying bees as farm animals and restricting
them to parcels 10 acres or more in size falls roughly in the middle of the heavy restriction
category.
Issue 4: Typical Conditions/Limitations
Many cities only allow beekeeping on lots meeting a minimum size threshold. Typically, the
minimum size for beekeeping corresponds to the minimum size of the city’s rural or agricultural
district and is coupled with beekeeping being defined as an agricultural/rural use. Of the 68 cities
that allow beekeeping, 28 restricted bees to parcels between 1 and 50 acres in size; however, 38
cities do not specify a minimum lot size for beekeeping and two with area restrictions allow
beekeeping on lots as small as .5 acres. Three of the cities that do not specify a minimum lot size
require setbacks of 100’ or more, effectively limiting beekeeping to larger lots.
Almost every city that allows beekeeping has found it necessary to either require 25’ setbacks for
beehives or the installation of 6’ high flyaway barriers to mitigate the impact of the honey bees
on neighboring properties. The rationale behind the distance and the flyaway barriers is that both
cause the bees to gain altitude as they travel in search of food which reduces the number of bees
flying at human height and the chances of bee/person conflict.
In order to further reduce the impact of bees on surrounding properties, many cities require hives
to be placed in rear yards and to be oriented so that their entrance/exit does not face a neighbor’s
residence. The later provision is only common in cities where hives are not subject to special

setbacks, as good beekeeping practice encourages hives’ entrances to be oriented towards the
rising sun and a 25’ setback is generally sufficient to buffer the neighbors from the impact of
bees entering and exiting the hive.
Virtually every city also regulates hive density. The Minnesota Hobby Beekeepers Association
has created a model ordinance that recommends the following density limit for colonies:
Lot Size
# of
colonies
< .5
acre
.5 - 3/4
acre
3/4 - 1
acre
1 acre - 5
acres
> 5
acres
2 4 6 8 no limit
Most cities have modified the density limits and ranges to coincide with minimum lot sizes
within their zoning districts, but a general trend is for the smaller lots to be limited to 2-4 hives
and larger lots to be allowed between 6-8, with agricultural properties exempted from any limits.
The reasoning behind limiting the number of hives involves minimizing the impact on
neighboring properties, ensuring that beekeeping in residential districts remains an accessory
use, and reducing the likelihood that there are more bees in an area than the ecosystem can
support.
Cities also require that beekeepers have a ready source of water available for bees in order to
reduce the likelihood of bees invading neighbor’s birdbaths and pools in search of a drink. A
typical requirement is that beekeepers place a ready source of water within 10’ of the hives
during all periods when the bees are active.
Beekeeping ordinances typically have provisions requiring the proper maintenance and storage
of beekeeping hives, equipment, and by products. These provisions exist to reduce the likelihood
of hives attracting wild bees and the likelihood that the colony will engage in swarming. Cities
that are especially concerned about swarming will also place restrictions in ordinance requiring
beekeepers to keep European honey bee strains bred for gentleness and reduced swarming
behavior.
Since beekeeping can produce a commercial product, many cities also enact provisions
regulating the sale of honey, wax, and honey bees within residential districts. These provisions
tend to treat beekeeping as a home occupation and subject it to the same guidelines as other
home occupations.
Many cities, especially those that require beekeeping licenses/registration, require that
beekeepers have a minimum amount of training. Often they require 16 hours of documented
training or a certificate stating the beekeeper has completed the University of Minnesota’s
beekeeping course or an equivalent program. Some cities require annual inspections as part of
the licensure process, and a few cities require that surrounding properties be notified and, in
several cases, the consent of the neighbors.
6
Alternatives
1) Do nothing. Many cities consider honey bees to be farm animals and limit them to
agricultural areas.
2) Allow honey bees in areas zoned RR and A2, and for educational purposes.
3) Allow honey bees in areas zoned RR and A2 and for educational purposes, and adopt
general performance standards to mitigate impact.
4) Allow honey bees in areas zoned RR and A2 and for educational purposes, and require a
city issued license.
5) Allow honey bees on parcels one-half acre or larger and adopt general performance
standards to mitigate impact.
6) Allow honey bees on parcels one-half acre or larger, and require a city issued license.
Recommendation
Staff recommends alternative five. Staff believes that parcels one-half acre or larger can
accommodate honey bees without creating a nuisance for surrounding properties, and adopting
general performance standards will provide a mechanism staff can use to address any hives that
do become nuisances.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM: MacKenzie Walters, Assistant Planner
DATE: April 23, 2018
SUBJ: Issue Paper – City Code for Fringe Business District-Uses
Issue
The current Fringe Business District (BF) does not align with the current land use map. As part
of the 61 corridor study areas currently zoned BF are envisioned as being rezoned in this area.
Once Highway 101 is realigned it will facilitate the extension of city services to the County Road
61 Corridor. With city services will come opportunities for rezoning and redevelopment. To
facilitate the highest and best use of this region the city may wish to reclassify certain permitted
and conditional uses as interim uses.
Background
The city’s Fringe Business District (BF) was initially created 1986 with the stated intent to
“accommodate limited commercial uses without urban services” with all potential uses being
listed as either conditional or accessory uses. In 1990 the city created interim use permits and
began classifying uses that it desired to be temporary in nature as interim uses. In 1994 the city
amended the BF district’s intent statement to state:
“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.”
Most business uses, with the exception of wholesale nursery/green houses with no retail which is
a permitted use, are classified as conditional uses within the district; however, some uses, such as
churches and outdoor storage, are classified as interim uses.
The city’s 2040 land use plan guides the parcels currently zoned BF for office industrial, mixed
use, residential medium density, and residential high density land uses. The Highway 101/61
study commissioned by the city in 2014 envisions many of these parcels as being part of the
city’s southern gateway (study is attached).
As the reconstruction of Fly Cloud Drive nears completion, the city has begun receiving inquires
about the possibility of reactivating, expanding, and/or repurposing existing businesses along
Flying Could Drive. While any business may continue to operate under the terms of existing
conditional use permit in perpetuity, the city is concerned that applications for new or expanded
conditional use permits may come in. Since the express intent of the district is to accommodate
temporary commercial uses until urban services are extended, it may be appropriate to classify
the area’s allowed commercial uses as interim rather than conditional uses.
Doing so will help to convey the city’s expectation that these uses are will be discontinued and
the parcels redeveloped once municipal services are extended, and will also provide the city with
an additional tool help insure that the area develops at the highest and best use.
Relevant City Code
Chapter 20- Zoning, Article IV.- Conditional Uses: This article details general criteria,
conditions, and procedures for granting and revoking CUPs and IUPs. Other divisions address
specific criteria for various conditional uses by district.
Chapter 20 – Zoning, Article XX. – “BF” Fringe Business District, Sec. 20-771, -773, and -
775: These sections respectively list the districts permitted, conditional, and interim uses.
Analysis
Issue 1: Conditional v. Interim Use Permits
Conditional use permits govern uses which are generally not allowed in a district, but may be
suitable in specific circumstances. The city classifies uses that have a high potential to
substantially impact adjacent parcels as conditional uses. Applicants wishing to receive a
conditional use permit must demonstrate that the use will not unduly impact adjacent parcels or
the community and that it will be consistent with the intent of the comprehensive plan and
zoning ordinance. The city’s zoning code lists general and specific requirements for most
conditional uses. If an applicant can demonstrate that they meet all of the conditional uses
requirements the city must issue a conditional use permit; however, the city can place reasonable
and justifiable conditions on the permit in order to mitigate anticipated adverse impacts
associated with proposed use. This permit is recorded against property and allows that use to
continue in perpetuity so long as the conditions of approval are not violated, the property is not
subdivided, and the use is not discontinued for a period of six months or longer.
Interim uses permits are very similar to conditional use permits, with the applicant needing to
demonstrate that they meet the zoning ordinances requirement for the use and the city having the
authority to impose conditions necessary to mitigate the anticipated impact of the use. The key
difference is that interim uses are uses that they city believes are currently appropriate for an
area, but will not suitable in future. In order to ensure that these use are temporary the City Code
requires that an interim use permit has an identified date or event that will terminate the use and
also stipulates that the use will terminate upon any change in the city’s zoning regulations which
renders the use nonconforming. Interim use permits can also be terminated for the same reasons
as conditional use permits.
Uses should be classified as conditional when they represent an activity that will remain suitable
as an area develops. For example, drive-through facilities are conditional uses due to their
potential traffic impacts and presence of an onsite speaker/intercom system; however, once it is
demonstrated that these concerns have been mitigated, it is not envisioned that changes to the
surrounding parcels will make the drive-through an unsuitable use. Uses should be classified as
interim when they represent an activity that will become unsuitable as an area develops. For
example, commercial kennels and stables are classified as interim uses in Agricultural Estate
(A2) districts because while their impacts can be mitigated within the context of multi-acre
residential lots, these impacts are much less mitigatable within the context of a residential
subdivision with 15,000 square foot lots.
Issue 2: Proposed Changes
Wholesale nursery/green house/no retail: Reclassify from permitted use to interim use. Currently
no parcel zoned BF is being used as wholesale nursery/green house. While this use is suitable
within the area’s current context, it would not be desirable in the context of mixed residential and
commercial uses and high density residential districts. This use is already listed an interim use in
the nearby A2 districts.
Automotive dealer/rentals: Reclassify from conditional use to interim use. There is a valid
conditional use permit for this use within this district. While this use is suitable within the area’s
current context, it would not be desirable in the context of mixed residential and commercial uses
and high density residential districts.
Commercial Kennels: Reclassify from conditional use to interim use. There is a valid conditional
use permit for this use within this district. While this use is suitable within the area’s current
context, it would not be desirable in the context of mixed residential and commercial uses and
high density residential districts.
Commercial Stables: Reclassify from conditional use to interim use. Reclassify from conditional
use to interim use. There is a valid conditional use permit for this use within this district. While
this use is suitable within the area’s current context, it would not be desirable in the context of
mixed residential and commercial uses and high density residential districts.
Issue 3: Minor Correction to Interim Use Statute
While preparing this report staff noticed that under the general issuance standards for interim use
permits section 20-322(4) reads “The date of event that will terminate the use can be identified
with certainty.” This section should read “date or event”. Staff believes there was a typing error
when this section was codified and proposes correcting it. Staff reviewed the termination
conditions placed on existing interim use permits and they are consistent with section 20-322(4)
reading “date or event” rather than “date of event”.
Alternatives
1) Do nothing except correct the codification error. Most parcels are operating under an
existing conditional use permit, and market forces will likely be sufficient to ensure the
voluntary redevelopment of those properties once utilities are extended.
2) Reclassify commercial uses within the BF district as Interim Uses and correct the
codification error. This will better convey the city’s intent that these uses are temporary
in nature, and will allow the city to terminate IUPs upon rezoning.
Recommendation
Staff recommends alternative number 2.
The proposed Code Amendments would read as follows:
Sec. 20-322. - General issuance standards.
The planning commission shall recommend an interim use permit and the council shall issue
interim permits only if it finds, based on the proposed location, that:
(1) The use meets the standards of a conditional use permit set forth in section 20-232 of
the City Code.
(2) The use conforms to the zoning regulations.
(3) The use is allowed as an interim use in the zoning district.
(4) The date of or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty.
(5) The use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to
take the property in the future.
(6) The user agrees to any conditions that the city council deems appropriate for permission
of the use.

Sec. 20-774. - Lot requirements and setbacks.
The following minimum requirements shall be observed in a "BF" district subject to additional
requirements, exceptions and modifications set forth in this chapter:
(1) The minimum lot area is 20,000 square feet.
(2) The minimum lot frontage is 100 feet, except that lots fronting on a cul-de-sac shall
have a minimum front footage of 60 feet in all districts.
(3) The minimum lot depth is 150 feet.
(4) The maximum lot coverage is 40 percent.
(5) Off-street parking shall comply with district setback requirements except:
a. There is no minimum setback when it abuts a railroad right-of-way, except as
provided in chapter 20, article XXV, division 3, pertaining to landscaping
requirements.
b. There is no minimum setback when it abuts, without being separated by a street,
another off-street parking area.
c. The minimum setback is 50 feet when it abuts a residential district without being
separated from the residential district by a street or railroad right-of-way.
d. The minimum setback is 25 feet for side street side yards.
e. Parking setbacks along public rights-of-way may be reduced to a minimum of ten
feet if the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the city that 100-percent
screening is provided at least five feet above the adjacent parking lot. The intent of
this section is that the city is willing to trade a reduced setback for additional
landscaping that is both an effective screen and of high quality aesthetically.
Acceptable screening is to be comprised of berming and landscaping. Screening
through the use of fencing is not permitted.
(6) The maximum height is as follows:
a. For the principal structure, one story.
b. For accessory structures, one story.
(7) Minimum setback requirements:
a. For front yards, 25 feet.
b. For rear yards, 20 feet.
c. For side yards, ten feet.
d. The minimum setback is 50 feet when it abuts a residential district without being
separated from the residential district by a street or railroad right-of-way.
e. Buffer yards. The city comprehensive plan establishes a requirement for buffer
yards. Buffer yards are to be established in areas indicated on the plan where higher
intensity uses interface with low density uses and shall comply with chapter 20,
article XXV, of the Chanhassen City Code.
7
The buffer yard is not an additional setback requirement. The full obligation to
provide the buffer yard shall be placed on the parcel containing the higher intensity
use.
The buffer yard is intended to provide physical separation and screening for the
higher intensity use. As such, they will be required to be provided with a combination
of berming, landscaping and/or tree preservation to maximize the buffering potential.
To the extent deemed feasible by the city, new plantings shall be designed to require
the minimum of maintenance, however, such maintenance as may be required to
maintain consistency with the approved plan, shall be the obligation of the property
owner.

CITY VISION
With the last update of the comprehensive plan, there was a great
deal of consideration of the opportunity Chanhassen has as a
regional draw. This appeal includes cultural, retail and
employment opportunities. We learned through the “Retail Market
Analysis” that the city has a strong north -south connection. In
the past the perception was the east -west was predominant
economic connection.
The completion of the 101 Bridge will further enhance this north –
south connection. In addition the upgrade of the County Road 61
will provide opportunities to further capitalize on the regional draw.
The city has the opportunity to assess their vision by
reviewing land use recommendations and evaluating the
development opportunities and constraints.

SUBJ: Issue Paper – City Code for Adult Daycare in Institutional District
Issue
Churches have expressed interest in opening adult daycare facilities within the Office
Institutional District; however, adult daycares are not currently a permitted use within the
district.
Analysis
The current ordinance allows churches in the Office Institutional District – OI, however, Adult
Daycare is not a use permitted within the district. Churches are a complementary space for
Adult daycares since they have opposite peak times and the space will be utilized efficiently.
Staff is recommending Adult Daycare be permitted as an accessory use within a Church.
Alternatives:
1) Do nothing. This will prevent churches from operating adult daycares within the OI
district.
2) Amend the City Code to allow churches to operate adult daycares within the OI district as
an accessory use.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends alterative two. The proposed code amendment is provided below:
Sec. 20-793. - Permitted accessory uses.
The following are permitted accessory uses in the "OI" district:
(1) Parking lots.
(2) Signs.
(3) Temporary outdoor sales and events (subject to the requirements of section 20-964).
(4) Adult Day Care as part of a church (subject to the requirements of Sec. 20-966).

SUBJ: Issue Paper – City Code for Permeable Pavers
SUMMARY
A significant number of Chanhassen’s residents live on properties that are at or above the
maximum amount of lot coverage permitted for their zoning district. When these homeowners
contact the city to inquire about the possibility of adding on or installing a new patio, they find
that their project cannot move forward or would require a variance due to the city’s lot coverage
restrictions. For the last year staff has been investigating the possibility of allowing residents to
utilize permeable pavements to exceed exiting lot coverage caps and provide residents with an
option other than requesting a lot coverage variance.
Since lot coverage is linked to both stormwater management and the overall intensity of land use
within the city, it is important to balance the benefits of allowing increased lot coverage with its
potential consequences. The city must also make sure that any proposed change to the ordinance
will satisfactorily address the issue of constrained properties.
Staff believes that allowing homes located in Residential Single Family Districts outside of the
Shoreland Management District five percent additional lot coverage in the form of pervious
pavement will provide flexibility for homeowners looking to improve their properties while
minimizing the potential for negative impacts. This fairly conservative approach will allow the
city to better understand how residents will utilize these systems, what their actual impacts will
be, and the long term performance of pervious pavements within Chanhassen. If these systems
successfully accomplish the city’s goals and do not create significant issues, a similar ordinance
could be enacted for other zoning districts.
BACKGROUND
The Chanhassen City Council selected a review and potential update of the city’s policy on
pervious pavements in residential districts as a Key Fiscal Strategy for 2017. Staff contracted
with Wenck Associates, Inc. to assist in determining the potential ramifications of modifying the
city’s existing policy.
During the June 26, 2017 City Council Work Session staff presented the results of the
consultant’s study and internal research to the City Council. Staff was directed draft an ordinance
allowing for the use of permeable pavers located in low-density residential districts outside of the
Shoreland Overlay District.
During the September 25, 2017 City Council Work Session staff discussed the proposed
ordinance, and the City Council instructed staff to bring the proposal before the Planning
Commission.
During the October 17, 2017 Public Hearing, the Planning Commission expressed concerns
about the long term impact of increasing residential lot coverage. They expressed concerns about
both the long-term efficacy of these systems and the city’s capacity to identify, inspect, and
enforce maintenance agreements. The Planning Commission indicated that additional research
and public input should be gathered before altering the existing policy. The Planning
Commission tabled the proposed code revisions and instructed staff to bring back an ordinance
that resolved the issues identified with the terms lot coverage, impervious surface, and
hardcover, but which did not increase the amount of lot coverage currently allowed in residential
districts.
During the November 21, 2017 Public Hearing the staff presented the requested definitions only
amendment to resolve the issues identified with the terms lot coverage, impervious surface, and
hardcover. The Planning Commission expressed some concern that the definition of pervious
pavement be made more specific to ensure that systems are adequately designed. Staff clarified
that design standards would be specifically addressed when/if the city allowed pervious pavers
their own category of lot coverage. The Planning Commission recommended that the City
Council approve the revised definitions.
During the December 11, 2017 City Council meeting staff presented on the proposed definition
changes. The City Council asked if staff was still investigating potentially permitting an increase
in pervious lot coverage for residential districts. Staff clarified that they were waiting for the
surface water management plan to be completed and also wanted to work with residents and
contractors to ensure a smooth implementation of any changes. The City Council unanimously
voted to adopt the revised definitions.
On February 26, 2018 the City Council adopted a review and potential update of the city’s policy
on permeable pavers as a Key Financial Strategy for 2018.
DISCUSSION
Issue 1: Constrained lots
The most common constraint that residents encounter when they are looking into improving their
property is the city’s lot coverage limit. Properties tend to be at or above their lot coverage limit
for one of two reasons: the lot, house, and lot cover were all created before current standards
were enacted; or the builder or previous homeowner chose to maximize the property and
improved it up to or in excess of the current limits.
In the first instance, the city considers the property to be a non-conforming use and allows the
homeowner to rearrange the existing lot cover to improve the property so long as the resulting lot
coverage is less than the existing lot coverage, i.e. removing 200 square feet of driveway and
installing 150 square feet of patio. In situations where small lot size prevents reasonable use of
the property, staff will recommend approval of a lot coverage variance to allow for needed
improvements, i.e. adding a two car garage to a property that does not have one.
In the second case, the city encourages homeowners to plan their projects within the bounds
established by the zoning ordinance. Property owners always have the right to request a
variance; however, staff’s general policy is to recommended denial of lot coverage variances for
properties that meet their districts’ general standards unless extenuating circumstances are
present.
Allowing property owners an additional five percent lot coverage in the form of pervious
pavements is a potential option for allowing the owners of some of these properties options for
improving their properties without utilizing the variance process; however, it may be of limited
use to homes on lots that do not meet current minimum lot area standards. Any parcel that
already exceeded its lot coverage by more than five percent would not be able to take advantage
of this provision to make additional improvements, and smaller parcels would be entitled to
proportionally smaller amounts of increased lot coverage. In both of these situations the property
owner would still likely require a variance.
It is also important to note that allowing additional lot coverage is unlikely to represent a lasting
solution to the issue of constrained lots. The cost of land is very high and builders tend to build
the largest house possible on any given piece of property in order to increase the return on their
investment. It is not uncommon for as built surveys for new houses to show lot coverage totals
within a few tenths of a percentage point of the property’s maximum limit. Staff believes that it
is likely that builders will utilize an increased lot coverage allotment to construct larger houses
with pervious paver driveways, and that new homeowners will still find themselves in a position
of having a limited ability to add patios, screen porches, and sheds due the house having been
built up to the property’s lot coverage limit.
Similarly, homeowners who are at the current lot coverage limit may take advantage of the
increased lot coverage limit to make improvements until they reach the new lot coverage limit.
Once they have sold their homes, subsequent homeowners will be unable to improve their
property due to the fact that previous homeowner utilized the property’s allowed lot coverage.
This will result in the next generation of homeowners facing the same issues with lot constraints
as the current generation, albeit with a higher lot coverage limit.
Staff believes the issue of constrained lots should be approached through the lens of what limits
are reasonable and justifiable. The current housing market may make a higher lot coverage
percentage desirable and changes in stormwater management practices and technologies may
allow the city to justify increasing its permitted lot coverage; however, increasing lot coverage
limits should not be expected to resolve the issue of constrained lots.
Issue 2: Where to allow
The city has several zoning districts which allow for detached single-family dwelling units and
each district has different minimum lot sizes and maximum lot coverage limits. Staff has created
a table of these districts and has listed their current standards as well as the amount of additional
lot coverage they would be entitled to if they were permitted an additional five percent lot
coverage in the form of pervious pavement. Districts in green are those that staff believe would
be good candidates for an initial increase in permitted lot coverage, districts in yellow are those
where it may be appropriate to allow expanded lot coverage at a later date, and districts in red are
those where increasing lot coverage is not recommended.

5% additional lot coverage (sq. ft.) 5,445 5,445 750 550 750 450
Total with +5% lot coverage 27,225 27,225 4,500 3,850 5,250 3,600
*Minimum lot size is for single-family detached PUDRs, single-family attached/cluster home
PUDRs have no minimum lot size.
**Minimum lot size is for single-family units, twin and attached homes have different minimum
lot sizes.
A district by district discussion is present below, but staff is recommending that if this proposal
is adopted only properties zoned residential single-family (RSF) and located outside of the
shoreland management district be granted the additional five percent lot coverage. The map
below shows which properties would benefit from this amendment.
Agricultural Estate (A-2) and Rural Residential (RR) Districts:
Approximately one-third of the city’s acreage is located in these districts, though many
properties zoned A-2 and RR are either permanent park and open space or guided for future
development and rezoning. These districts are intended to be rural/agrarian in character with
large amounts of green space and are limited to 20 percent lot coverage. Allowing a higher
percentage of lot cover would not be in line with the districts’ intent and character.
The A-2 and RR parcels used for residential purposes have a minimum 2.5-acre lot size, which
means that parcels meeting their district’s minimum standards are entitled to 21,780 square feet
of lot cover. It is unlikely that many property owners are unable to make reasonable
improvements to their property within that limit. In the event that a property has extenuating
circumstances requiring additional lot coverage, the variance process seems better suited to
addressing that need than a blanket five percent increase in permitted lot coverage.
Residential Single Family (RSF) Districts:
About sixteen percent of the city is zoned RSF and the district has a minimum lot size of 15,000
square feet. Prior to 1986 it was possible to create lots zoned R-1, reclassified as RSF in 1986,
that were as small as 11,700 square feet and before 1967 the city did not have a zoning or
subdivision ordinance with which to establish a minimum lot size. This means that some of the
most severely constrained parcels in the city are zoned RSF. RSF parcels are also limited to a
maximum lot coverage of twenty-five percent, five percent less than can be allowed in PUDR
and ten percent less than is permitted within RLM.
The lot coverage constraints faced by RSF properties can be exacerbated by the fact up until
2007 the city did not require zoning permits for patios and driveway expansions. This means that
many properties ended up unknowingly exceeding their lot coverage limits when they added a
patio or expanded their driveway. In some cases, this is beneficial to property owners as the city
treats this additional lot coverage as a non-conforming use; however, it does prevent the owner
from further improving their property unless they remove at least some of the excess lot
coverage.
RSF lots meeting their district’s minimum lot standards are restricted to 3,750 square feet of lot
cover, and with the modern trend towards large houses and three car garages this does not always
allow for large patios, screened porches, sheds, sport courts, swimming pools, and other
accessory uses. Allowing an extra five percent lot coverage would allow current homeowners a
significant amount of additional flexibility. It could also improve the situation for substandard
lots which are currently between twenty-five and thirty percent lot coverage, though many
severely constrained lots will likely still need to go through the variance process.
Planned Unit Development Residential (PUDR)
Around twelve percent of the city is zoned PUDR and PUDRs can have wildly different
minimum lot areas and permitted lot coverage depending on their individual planned unit
development ordinance. Current standards for detached single-family PUDRs establish 11,000
square feet as the minimum lot area and allow up to thirty percent lot coverage; however, there
are numerous historic PUDRs that with smaller lot sizes or which limit properties to twenty-five
percent lot coverage. The table below provides a breakdown of the city’s detached single-family
PUDRs’ minimum lot sizes and permitted lot coverage.

*The phrase “total site” means that development as a whole was limited to that percent lot
coverage and in most cases unused lot coverage generated by open spaces was credited to the
individual parcels; the phrase “shore” refers to a different limit within the shoreland
management district; and, the phrase “as amended” means that the standard will change if the
referenced zoning district’s standard is altered.
As the table above shows most PUDRs either already have a five percent increase in lot coverage
over their RSF counterparts or utilize “total site” provisions to allow individual lots to exceed the
twenty-five percent lot coverage. Those that are limited to a flat twenty-five percent lot coverage
are older subdivisions where many of the constrained lots can be expected to be non-conforming
due to the installation of patios and other impervious surface before the 2007 zoning permit
requirement, and this means that a five percent increase in lot coverage is unlikely to provide
significant relief. Additionally, many PUDRs’ zoning ordinances specify smaller setbacks,
provide for HOA owned lots with public amenities, or otherwise attempt to compensate for the
smaller lot sizes. These factors combined with the fact that individuals living in these
neighborhoods have self-selected a community designed around smaller lot sizes means that it is
appropriate to limit PUDRs to their existing standards. In cases where extenuating circumstances
necessitate increased lot coverage, the variance process can be utilized to grant relief.
Mixed Low Density Residential District (R-4)
Less than half of a percent of the city falls within this zoning district which allows for both
detached single-family and two-family dwellings. Single-family homes within these districts are
have a minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet and are allowed up to thirty percent lot coverage.
Since the lot size is the same as the RSF districts and the permitted lot coverage is already five
percent higher than the RSF districts, it is unlikely that there are many constrained lots within
this zoning category. In cases where extenuating circumstances necessitate increased lot
coverage, the variance process can be utilized to grant relief.
Residential Low and Medium Density Residential Districts (RLM)
Just over seven-tenths of a percent of the city is zoned RLM. The RLM district was created in
2006 to allow for smaller lot subdivisions with a higher ratio of lot coverage in exchange for
developers dedicating permanent open space to the city. Single-family dwellings within this
district have a minimum lot size of 9,000 square feet and are allowed up to thirty-five percent lot
coverage. Residents choose to buy houses in this district because they are interested in smaller
lots and denser neighborhoods; however, even with increased lot coverage percentage there is
less space for accessory structures. Since these are all newer subdivisions and very few homes
were built before the existing zoning permit requirements were enacted, these districts should not
have constrained or non-conforming lots. In cases where extenuating circumstances necessitate
increased lot coverage, the variance process can be utilized to grant relief rather than allowing all
of these properties forty percent lot coverage.
Shoreland Management Districts
All areas within 1,000 feet of the ordinary high water level of a lake or within 300 feet of a river
or stream are regulated by the city’s Shoreland Management District ordinance. The city
administers the Shoreland Management District on behalf of the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR), and the DNR’s policies limit the city’s ability to modify its Shoreland
Management District Ordinance. The DNR considers pervious pavers and similar technologies to
constitute impervious surface/lot cover, and the city cannot increase the Shoreland Management
District’s residential lot coverage allowance beyond twenty-five percent. This means that all
detached single-family properties within the Shoreland Management District will continue to be
limited to twenty-five percent lot coverage even if their undying zoning district’s lot coverage
limit is increased.
Bluff Creek Overlay District (BCOD):
Due to the importance and ecological sensitivity of the Bluff Creek Corridor, the existing
provisions limiting lot coverage to twenty-five percent on slopes with a grade between twenty-
five and ten percent should be left intact. Since development within the primary and secondary
zone is very heavily restricted there are only a few detached single-family properties that could
potentially be constrained by these provisions. The unique and non-conforming nature of all
these properties means that the variance process is the best way to address any potential lot
coverage increases within this area.
Issue 3: Cumulative Impact
Changing the city’s policy regarding pervious pavements has the potential to significantly impact
the city, especially if these systems encounter issues and do not work as intended. To provide
context for a discussion on the potential cumulative impact of these systems staff has created the
following table. Districts in green are those that staff believe would be good candidates for an
initial increase in permitted lot coverage, districts in yellow are those where it may be
appropriate to allow expanded lot coverage at a later date, and districts in red are those were
increasing lot coverage is not recommended. It should be noted that due to the restriction within
the Shoreland Management District over 40 percent of the city’s residential properties would not
be able to take advantage of the proposed pervious pavement amendment.
If the city allows RSF properties outside of the Shoreland Management District to add five
percent lot coverage in the form of pervious pavement it would allow up to 2.3 million square
feet of new lot coverage. This is roughly equivalent to 600 new houses with 3,750 square feet of
lot cover or a 180-acre subdivision with thirty percent development wide lot coverage.
Of course, not every property will take advantage of the proposed ordinance and homeowners
that do add pervious pavers will not all reach their lot coverage limit; however, the proposed
amendment could lead to a very significant amount of green space being converted into lot
coverage. That additional lot coverage, even if it is the form of pervious pavements, has the
potential to impact stormwater management on a citywide scale.
Issue 4: Stormwater Implications
PICP are typically used in areas with light traffic at commercial and residential sites such as low-
speed roads, parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, plazas, and patios
PICP has become the preferred permeable pavement option over pervious concrete and asphalt
applications in recent years due in part to the use in smaller residential or retrofit applications,
and lower material and installation costs and maintenance. Research has demonstrated that PICP
is an effective method for reducing stormwater runoff and pollutants from urbanized areas.
Properly designed, installed, and maintained PICP can have design life surface infiltration rates
exceeding 100 in./hour in type A soils according to industry literature.
Stringent design, installation and maintenance is imperative to ensure proper performance. Staff
must ensure that in residential areas, the systems be designed and installed properly, and be
maintained as needed to prevent creating additional stormwater issues in existing neighborhoods
with insufficient stormwater treatment capacity. It is essential that these systems are designed in
line with industry-accepted guidelines, installed by certified installers, and a maintenance
agreement be recorded against the property. The stormwater utility fee, which is based upon lot
coverage, will be updated in 2019 to adjust for the increase in lot coverage.

Issue 5: Implementation
Design, installation, and maintenance standards would be at the discretion of appropriate city
staff. The MPCA Stormwater Manual suggests using the design, installation, and maintenance
guidance for PICP as referenced by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI). The
ICPI’s website is www.icpi.org. It includes information for design professionals and installers
regarding industry standards and specifications, installation guidelines and maintenance. Many
certified installers are available in the metro area. Staff will reference ICPI for design,
installation, and maintenance guidance. Pervious pavers are not effective at infiltration in C and
D soils. These soils are common in the city. To achieve the long-term effectiveness of these
systems and significantly reduce the chance of erosion issues being generated by PICP the city
will require underdrains and underground cisterns for the catchment area be installed as part of
the PICP system.
Maintenance agreements: Staff recommends that applicants receiving a permit to use PICP be
required to execute a recordable Maintenance Agreement setting forth maintenance requirements
consistent with the ICPI recommendations. The maintenance agreement will also include
enforcement procedures. It is not cost effective, nor does the city have sufficient staffing to
annual inspect or track maintenance of small Best Management Practices. Proper design,
installation, and review is the best method available to ensure long-term effectiveness.
Alternatives:
1) Do nothing. Maintain current policy and continue to treat pervious pavements as
impervious surface. Use variance process to grant relief as appropriate.
2) Amend Chapters 1, 7, and 20 to allow five percent additional lot coverage in the form
of pervious pavements within the Single Family Residential District (RSF) outside of
the Shoreland Management District.
3) Amend Chapters 1, 7, and 20 to allow five percent additional lot coverage in the form
of pervious pavements Management District.
Recommendation:
Staff believes that alternative two will provide relief to some of the most constrained properties
in the city while minimizing the potential for negative impacts. The city can expand the use of
pervious pavements as appropriate once it has had a chance to evaluate the impact of this policy
change on a smaller section of the city.
Staff proposes the following changes be made to the City Code:
Sec. 7-19. - Plans and specifications.
The building official may require that plans and specifications, required by the Minnesota
State Building Code, include a survey of the lot upon which the proposed building or
construction is to be done, prepared and attested by a registered surveyor. An original signature
is required on the certificate of survey. The survey shall provide the following information
unless otherwise approved by the administrative authority:

and shall be filed 30 days in advance of the planning commission meeting, at which it is to be
considered. Prior to filing an application for site plan review, the applicant shall attend a
conference with city staff. The primary purpose of the conference shall be to provide the
applicant with an opportunity to gather information and obtain guidance on the general merits of
the proposal and its conformity to the provisions of the comprehensive plan and the City Code
before incurring substantial expense. Incomplete or deficient applications shall not be scheduled
for a meeting unless the community development director has determined that official action is
warranted. The application shall also include:

manufacturing, office, retail, showroom, warehouse, etc.
Sec. 20-615. - Lot requirements and setbacks.
The following minimum requirements shall be observed in an "RSF" District subject to
additional requirements, exceptions and modifications set forth in this chapter and chapter 18:
(1) The minimum lot area is 15,000 square feet. For neck or flag lots, the lot area
requirements shall be met after the area contained within the "neck" has been excluded
from consideration.
(2) The minimum lot frontage is 90 feet, except that lots fronting on a cul-de-sac "bubble"
shall be 90 feet in width at the building setback line. The location of this lot is
conceptually illustrated below.
Frontage Measured at Setback Line
(3) The minimum lot depth is 125 feet.
(4) Lot width on neck or flag lots and lots accessed by private streets shall be 100 feet as
measured at the front building setback line. The location of these lots is conceptually
illustrated below.
Neck/Flag Lots
(5) The maximum lot coverage for all structures and paved surfaces is 25 30 percent, of
which no more than 25 percent can be impervious surfaces.
For flag/neck lots neither the area within the neck, nor the impervious surface lot coverage
of the driveway within the neck shall be included within the calculation of the lot area
or lot coverage of the lot.
(6) The setbacks are as follows:
a. For front yards, 30 feet.
b. For rear yards, 30 feet.
c. For side yards, ten feet.
(7) The setbacks for lots served by private streets and/or neck lots are as follows:
a. For front yard, 30 feet. The front yard shall be the lot line nearest the public right-
of-way that provides access to the parcel. The rear yard lot line is to be located
opposite from the front lot line with the remaining exposures treated as side lot
lines. On neck lots the front yard setback shall be measured at the point nearest the
front lot line where the lot achieves a 100-foot minimum width.
b. For rear yards, 30 feet.
c. For side yards, ten feet.
(8) The maximum height is as follows:
a. For the principal structure, three stories/35 feet.
b. For accessory structures, 20 feet.
(Ord. No. 80, Art. V, § 5(5-5-5), 12-15-86; Ord. No. 90, § 1, 3-14-88; Ord. No. 127, § 3, 3-26-
90; Ord. No. 145, § 2, 4-8-91; Ord. No. 240, § 18, 7-24-95; Ord. No. 324, § 23, 7-9-01; Ord. No.
377, § 81, 5-24-04; Ord. No. 409, § 4, 1-9-06; Ord. No. 619, § 7, 2-27-17)
Editor's note— Section 2 of Ord. No. 145 purported to amend § 20-615(6)b. pertaining to
accessory structures; such provision were contained in § 20-615(7)b., subsequent to amendment
of the section by Ord. No. 127. Hence, the provisions of Ord. No. 145, § 2, were included as
amending § 20-615(7)b.
Sec. 20-921 –Pervious Pavement
Properly designed, installed, and maintained pervious pavements have the capacity to
allow for stormwater detention and/or infiltration. When not properly designed, installed,
and maintained pervious pavements fail to facilitate the detention and/or infiltration of
stormwater. Additionally, pervious pavements contribute to the creation of heat islands
and do not provide the same surface water management benefits as native vegetative cover.
For these reasons, it is necessary to regulate the lot coverage, design, installation, and
maintenance of these systems.
1) Lot Coverage: Pervious pavements are considered to constitute lot coverage;
however, when built to the standards espoused in this section they do not constitute
impervious surfaces. Systems not built to the standards espoused in this section are
considered to constitute impervious surfaces.
2) Location Restrictions:
a. Pervious Pavements may not be installed in areas where trash or garbage
receptacles will be stored.
3) Installation:
a. To meet the city’s definition of pervious pavement the system must be
designed in compliance with standards established by the Interlocking
Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) and installed by an ICPI certified
installer.
b. The City Engineer may permit pervious pavement technologies other than
permeable interlocking concrete pavers, so long as the City Engineer
determines they are functionally equivalent or better, and the system is
designed in compliance with accepted guidelines and is installed by an
appropriately certified installer.
4) Maintenance:
a. The owner of a pervious paver system must enter into a maintenance
agreement with the city to ensure the system performs as designed in
perpetuity. This agreement must conform to the manufactures guidelines,
and stipulate the frequency and type of maintenance to be performed.
5) District restrictions:
a. Planned Unit Developments Residential Districts (PUDR) are limited to the
lot coverage specified by their ordinance and/or compliance table. For
PUDRs created before [insert date] the terms hardcover, hard surface,
impervious surface, and similar phrases shall be understood to mean lot
cover inclusive of both pervious pavements and impervious surfaces, and in
no circumstance shall the failure of the ordinance or compliance table to
mention pervious pavements be understood to mean that pervious pavers are
not subject to the lot cover, hardcover, hardscape, or similarly identified
limits that govern the PUDR.
b. Shoreland Management District restricts properties zoned Single Family
Residential District (RSF) to 25 percent lot coverage.

STAFF PRESENT: Todd Gerhardt, Paul Oehme, Kate Aanenson, Greg Sticha, and Roger
Knutson
Mayor Laufenburger: Council members we have an agenda in front of us printed. Is there any
modifications to the agenda at this time? Okay. There being no modifications we will proceed
with the agenda as it is stated.
APPROVAL OF EDA MINUTES DATED JANUARY 11, 2016. McDonald moved,
Tjornhom seconded to approve the Minutes of the EDA meeting dated January 11, 2016 as
presented. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING MODIFICATION TO REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
FOR THE DOWNTOWN CHANHASSEN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA AND
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN NO. 11.
Mayor Laufenburger: Is there a staff report?
Todd Gerhardt: Mayor, I’m not going to go through the presentation I just did several hours ago
but staff is asking you to adopt a resolution approving the modifications to the Redevelopment
Plan for the downtown Chanhassen Redevelopment Project Area and Tax Increment Financing
Plan No. 11. And also included in that motion should be approval of the Private Redevelopment
Agreement between the EDA and Chanhassen, what is it? Frontier.
Mayor Laufenburger: Chanhassen Frontier, LLC.
Todd Gerhardt: Chanhassen Frontier, LLC.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay. EDA members we have that motion in front of us in the staff
report. Any questions for staff on the information presented in the packet? Alright. I just have
one question. Mr. Knutson this may be for you. Can you in laymen terms can you speak to why
there is council action and there is also Economic Development Authority action? What is the
statutory distinction between these two bodies? Can you speak to that?
Chanhassen Economic Development Authority – September 11, 2017
2
Roger Knutson: The statute breaks it down and requires action by both bodies. That’s the
simplest answer.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, we don’t often meet as an EDA. We meet regularly as a council.
Roger Knutson: Correct.
Mayor Laufenburger: So is there statutory description as to what is needed for EDA and what is
not needed for EDA?
Roger Knutson: Yes.
Mayor Laufenburger: And this is one of those items that the EDA must act on?
Roger Knutson: Yes.
Mayor Laufenburger: But they’re also acting on, based on the resolution that was adopted by the
City Council, is that correct?
Roger Knutson: Takes action by both.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, action by both. Okay. Is this a final action on this particular item?
Is the EDA the final action or is there some jurisdiction to which we have to present this?
Roger Knutson: No, this is the final action.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay and this final action, obviously there are elements of this action
where the contract that are governed by State statute, is that correct?
Roger Knutson: That’s correct.
Mayor Laufenburger: Such as the assignment of a TIF District and whether or not the property
qualifies for redevelopment.
Roger Knutson: That’s all statutory.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, alright. So do we have any latitude on this Mr. Knutson?
Roger Knutson: Well you have consideration discretion on whether you want to establish or
modify a TIF District, yes.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay but that would have been exercised in the City Council meeting, is
that correct?
Chanhassen Economic Development Authority – September 11, 2017

Roger Knutson: Yes and.
Mayor Laufenburger: It can be exercised here as well?
Roger Knutson: Yes.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, alright.
Todd Gerhardt: Or if in the future they would have to come back to both bodies.
Roger Knutson: Yes.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, so any modification to anything that’s given approval to tonight
would have to come back to both bodies?
Roger Knutson: That’s correct.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, alright. Thank you for that clarification. Any question, comment
or motion?
Councilman Campion: Mr. Mayor I have a few questions.
Mayor Laufenburger: Go ahead, please.
Councilman Campion: One of those questions is on the boundary of the TIF project area.
What’s the rationale for why that couldn’t be the entirety of Chanhassen and instead just the area
within the dashed lines? Is it a ratio of the project area to the TIF district?
Todd Gerhardt: It’s.
Mayor Laufenburger: Let’s make sure, just a second. Let’s get our terminology. You’re
referring to the Redevelopment Project Area?
Councilman Campion: Yes correct.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, alright. The TIF district is that 3 parcel item in the middle of it.
Councilman Campion: Understood.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, so you’re referring to the.
Councilman Campion: The left handed quarterback.

Mayor Laufenburger: Okay. Mr. Gerhardt go ahead.
Todd Gerhardt: When that was created again as I spelled out certain dollars could have been
spent within that area and you know we just kept the same boundaries. There’s no pros and cons
to the way it looks today. We just kept the same district.
Councilman Campion: So there’s no benefit for it not being the entire Chanhassen area?
Todd Gerhardt: I don’t think so.
Roger Knutson: Nothing comes to my mind.
Todd Gerhardt: Yeah, I know.
Roger Knutson: You can change it if you want.
Councilman Campion: It just seems arbitrary.
Mayor Laufenburger: Mr. Campion I understand your question.
Councilman Campion: Yeah.
Mayor Laufenburger: I think I do. Is there something that you would like to offer instead of
what we have here?
Councilman Campion: I’d like to offer I guess that the project area be the entire city of
Chanhassen.
Mayor Laufenburger: So what you’re suggesting is that any TIF district that may be established
in the future, that TIF district guidelines including the 25 percent outside the TIF district, you’d
like to see that applied, potentially applied to all of Chanhassen.
Councilman Campion: Unless there’s a compelling argument for why it should be contained
within this area.
Todd Gerhardt: Well this is the area that we showed the school district and the county when we
provided notice to them. Also this is the area that we showed as the public hearing of what the
project area would be. Both Roger and I are, you know to modify it now I don’t know if we
have legal authority to do that after we’ve already sent notice to those areas. I mean if you want
to modify it, you know I can go back and check the statute and we can bring it back and go
through the process again.

Councilman Campion: That just jumps out at me more as an EDA member than a City
Councilman I guess.
Todd Gerhardt: Well if you’re planning on doing anything outside of what we talk about tonight
and you want to spend 25 percent someplace in the community and we can modify it, that’s the
time to do it.
Mayor Laufenburger: So what you’re saying Mr. Gerhardt is that let’s look into the future a little
bit.
Todd Gerhardt: Correct.
Mayor Laufenburger: And if we were to establish a TIF district, let’s pick an area that’s not
currently in development.
Councilman Campion: Around Lake Ann.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay.
Councilman Campion: There’s a trail around Lake Ann for example.
Mayor Laufenburger: Well that wouldn’t be for commercial or retail or industrial use I don’t
think. Let’s think about another open area for example.
Councilman Campion: Is that a requirement?
Todd Gerhardt: No.
Mayor Laufenburger: How about this? We have, is it possible for us to establish a TIF district
to encourage a developer to develop residential homes on the west side of Lake Ann?
Councilman Campion: That’s not the question.
Todd Gerhardt: I think what Dan is asking, he wants to take 25 percent of the increment and
spend it someplace else within that boundary.
Mayor Laufenburger: Outside this redevelopment area.
Todd Gerhardt: And he wants to expand the boundary to use that 25 percent, correct?
Councilman Campion: Yeah. I just, unless there’s a compelling reason for containing it within
that area I don’t understand why just because that’s the way it was before.
Chanhassen Economic Development Authority – September 11, 2017

Todd Gerhardt: And what I’m saying if you want to build a trail around Lake Ann, we can bring
it back at a later time but we have to change the language in the plan saying that we’re going to
use, and we’ve got to show a budget of 25 percent of whatever that dollar amount is to put a trail
around Lake Ann. Does that make sense?
Councilman Campion: Yes.
Todd Gerhardt: Okay. So they go in concert with each other. So right now everything that we
can use the money for, even if you want to speak 25 percent to put around, put the trail all the
way around Lake Susan I’d have to modify the plan to do that. So and if I can change the
boundary then if the council wants to do that then I’ll change the boundary when we say we’re
going to use it to build it around Lake Ann. Does that make sense?
Councilman Campion: It does.
Mayor Laufenburger: So I think what we’re saying Mr. Campion is that at some point in the
future if the council would like to modify the project area, something outside of this particular
TIF district, we can do that.
Todd Gerhardt: Yeah.
Mayor Laufenburger: Outside of this TIF district.
Todd Gerhardt: It’s really the project area. The redevelopment project area. The TIF district is
the 3 parcels that are generating the increment and the increment from those 3 parcels, 25 percent
of that can be used outside of the Tax Increment Financing District No. 11, somewhere with
inside that boundary and if you want to go outside that boundary and say you want to put a trail
around Lake Ann, then I would have Roger research to see if we can modify the redevelopment
project area and include in a tax increment and modify the tax increment plan to build a trail
around Lake Ann. Does that make sense?
Councilman Campion: Yes.
Todd Gerhardt: Because right now it doesn’t talk about building a trail around Lake Ann.
Councilman Campion: Got it.
Todd Gerhardt: Just I know it’s just an example but anything outside of that district, then we
have to come through the modifications. Have the hearings and modify the budget to include
whatever that cost of that trail is.
Councilman Campion: Okay.
Chanhassen Economic Development Authority – September 11, 2017

Todd Gerhardt: I don’t make the rules. I try to remember them.
Mayor Laufenburger: Any other question or comment?
Councilman Campion: One other question. So we did get a lot of emails and a lot of phone calls
leading up to this and there was a question I didn’t ask earlier because I was pushing to delay this
but, was there, is it possible for there to have been some partnership between the Carver County
CDA and EDA to somehow be the ones to manage or put in this apartment development?
Todd Gerhardt: I heard that question today and we have tried to partner with the CDA. They
look for free land as their equity share into the development so they use that land as leverage to
sell bonds and determine a value on that. Centennial Apartments is a perfect example of where
we didn’t just give them free land. We had to put money into an escrow account of a couple
hundred thousand dollars for them to be able to sell bonds to finance Centennial Hills
apartments. It took about 15 years but we did get our money back but they have title to the land
and we’re not looking to be compensated for that land. That was the deal but we did receive our
escrow money back and, oh what was the other part of it? Oh and we gave our GO obligation so
if for any reason they default on those bonds it comes back to the obligation of the City of
Chanhassen.
Councilman Campion: Was that something we considered in this area or it just didn’t fit from
what you’re saying because there was not free land?
Todd Gerhardt: They’d want it to be affordable, not market rate.
Councilman Campion: Okay. Alright.
Councilman McDonald: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor Laufenburger: Mr. McDonald.
Councilman McDonald: If everybody’s done I’d like to make a motion. The Economic
Development Authority adopts Resolution approving Modification in the Redevelopment Plan
for the Downtown Chanhassen Redevelopment Project Area and Tax Increment Financing Plan
No. 11; and the contract for Private Redevelopment by and between Chanhassen Economic
Development Authority and Chanhassen Frontier, LLC.
Mayor Laufenburger: So your motion is to approve those two things, is that correct?
Councilman McDonald: Yep, that’s correct.
Mayor Laufenburger: Is there anything, Mr. Knutson is there anything we need to add to that?
Chanhassen Economic Development Authority – September 11, 2017
8
Roger Knutson: Did you mention the construct for Private Redevelopment?
Mayor Laufenburger: Private Redevelopment, yes he did.
Todd Gerhardt: Resolution, TIF plan and Private Redevelopment Agreement. So three things.
Mayor Laufenburger: Is there a second?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Second.
Mayor Laufenburger: Thank you Councilmember Tjornhom. We have a motion and a second.
Is there any discussion?
Councilwoman Ryan: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor Laufenburger: Councilmember Ryan.
Councilwoman Ryan: I just have a couple comments. Basically why I’m going to vote no to
this. Words matter and in reading the resolution that we’re voting on right now, three things I
am, I don’t believe to be true for me. It says that the plans are intended and in the judgment of
this council that it will be an impetus for development in the public interest. I disagree with that
statement. It says in 3.01 that by establishing this district is in the public interest. I disagree with
that. And in 3.02 it says that, or it reads that the plans will afford maximum opportunity
consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole for the development or redevelopment of
the district, and I disagree with that so for those three reasons, along with the many others I
mentioned earlier tonight I will be voting against this.
Mayor Laufenburger: Alright, thank you Councilmember Ryan. Any other questions or any
other discussion on the motion? There being none.
Tom Devine: Point of just information quickly. As I understand this is a public hearing right
now.
Mayor Laufenburger: No it’s not. The public hearing was conducted during the City Council
meeting. This is not a public hearing.
Tom Devine: So you don’t have to have a public hearing for this section on a vote?
Mayor Laufenburger: That’s correct.
Tom Devine: You don’t have to take public testimony for this meeting here.
Mayor Laufenburger: You are correct.

Tom Devine: Is that what I understand?
Mayor Laufenburger: You are correct.

Subject Invitation to Arbor Day Celebration May 5
Section PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS Item No: D.1.
Prepared By Jill Sinclair, Environmental Resource
Specialist
File No:
DISCUSSION
In 1876, Minnesota became the fourth state to adopt Arbor Day as an annual celebration. Today, Chanhassen
celebrates Arbor Day each year in order set aside a time to consider what trees do for us and our community.
Planting trees adds beauty and character to our neighborhoods, reduces energy costs, increases property values,
reduces pollution, and replaces trees we’ve lost in our community. Perhaps Elton Trueblood said it best when he
wrote, “A man has finally begun to discover the meaning of human life when he plants a tree under which he knows full
well he will never sit.” Let us plant today, the trees of tomorrow.
I invite all area residents, their families and friends to Chanhassen’s Arbor Day event on Saturday, May 5 at Power
Hill Park. We will gather at 9 am at the parking lot for a welcome and planting demonstration. Volunteers will plant
20 trees around the park. Refreshments and treerelated information will be available before and after the plantings.
The event will be held rain or shine so be sure to dress for the weather and the work. Please bring a shovel if you
can. I encourage everyone to come to this free event and help plant a tree on Arbor Day.

Commissioners stated they were looking for guidance on how to fund a park replacement
schedule, completion of Bandimere Park, and Lake Ann Park expansion given the depletion of
park funds. Mayor Laufenburger asked for a list of priorities and schedule to complete the park
replacement plan, a history of what’s been done at each park and from what funding sources.
Councilwoman Ryan asked for clarification of what park equipment replacement entails.
Councilwoman Tjornhom asked what is considered Chanhassen’s downtown park. City Center
Park was noted as being the downtown park. Chairman Scharfenberg asked if it would be helpful
to know what other communities have done regarding equipment replacement before discussion
of how to fund completion of Bandimere Park. Mayor Laufenburger asked for clarification on
what is included with completion of Bandimere Park before stating he did not feel the council is
prepared to comment on that item at this time because the council has not discussed funding
sources. Chairman Scharfenberg stated the commission will discuss Bandimere Park and
expansion of Lake Ann Park at future meetings. Mayor Laufenburger stated his desire to walk
the property where a trail will be located around Lake Ann. Todd Hoffman explained that the
plans for expansion around Lake Ann are documented in the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
Councilwoman Ryan stated she would be interested in reviewing options for possible materials
to be used for the Lake Ann trail. Mayor Laufenburger suggested incorporating scenic overlooks
and the possible use of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts for park projects. Todd Hoffman discussed
money that’s been allocated for completion of the Arboretum trail underpass from Century
Boulevard through the Arboretum.
Mayor Laufenburger adjourned the work session at 6:35 p.m.

Mayor Laufenburger: First of all I want to begin this evening with a public announcement. This
is an invitation specifically for students in the 4th and 5th grade that live or attend school in
Chanhassen. I’d like to invite those 4th and 5th graders to participate in Chanhassen’s annual
Mayor for a Day contest. Participants are encouraged to get creative in showing off their
knowledge of local government and their civic engagement while answering the following
question. Residents can be engaged in their city’s government in many different ways including
voting in local elections, running for City Council, applying for a city commission, volunteering
to help at events and much more. Now here’s the question. If you were mayor of Chanhassen
for a day what would you do to encourage residents to become more involved in the city’s
government. So I ask that any 4th or 5th graders or any of their teachers would like to get
involved submissions are due by this Friday, April 13th and then the winner will be announced on
April 23rd here at the City Council meeting. All participants will be invited to attend the May
14th City Council meeting where the winner will act as mayor for the day. Entry forms and
additional information can be found on our city’s website. I know we did this last year did we

VISITOR PRESENTATIONS.
Mayor Laufenburger: Anyone wishing to address the council on a matter that is not on the
agenda for the evening they may step to the podium stating their name and address for the
record. And we have two scheduled presentations this evening. First of all I’d like to invite
Heidi Hoks and Patrick Jones to the podium to bring us up to date on the Chanhassen Library.
This is an annual event. Just state your name for the record.
Heidi Hoks: My name is Heidi Hoks. I’m with the Carver County Library System and I’m so
happy to be here because I love my job. Best job in the world. I get to work for Carver County
Library System and one of the libraries in our Carver County Library System of course is our
Chanhassen Library. Our largest library. Our intra-library headquarters and the hub through
which all materials flow in our county. Chanhassen library is a joint effort with the City and the
County. The City provides the building and everything that goes along with the building.
Carpeting, lighting, etcetera whereas the County provides the service including the materials,
databases, DVD’s, books, as well as the staff that makes the best use of those services. Make
sure you have the best use of those services. We at Carver County are a grouping of 6 full
Chanhassen City Council – April 9, 2018
3
service libraries and 4 express libraries and we work together in a consolidated way so that we
give you the best savings and the most service for your dollar but we are also a part of a regional
library system called MLSA. Metropolitan Library Services Agency which includes 7 counties
and one city of libraries that work together and lend between each other. Establish base levels of
electronic materials and so on many other things and as a result of being a part of MLSA we’re
able to borrow materials from all across the state and well beyond so it’s a wonderful way to do
things. This year we started out with a strategic plan. A 5 year strategic planning process in
which we gathered a lot of information from a great number of people and then had a small staff
group get together and decide what we were going to do over the next 5 years and we decided to
use the county pattern for the strategic plan but when we got to the value statements, values are
really more about what we feel as individuals. The staff decided no they didn’t want to do that.
They wanted to focus on the public. On our customers and so they decided to create promises so
we at Carver County promise all these things to our public and you’ll see on our annual report
that’s before you the promises are listed at the front and if you turn to the inside each promise is
taken separately and a little bit is talked about as far as in 2017 what we accomplished towards
those promises. Now for those of you who are bottom line kind of people there is the back and if
you look at the back there’s lots of different statistics for you including the number of library
visitors that came into our physical libraries. 505,807 but there were even more visitors and if
you go down to website visits you see 189,822. People use the library even more than they used
to but they’re using it in different ways and we are trying to stay on top of that so we can make
sure we get the best use for our customers that’s humanly possible. We promise to do the best
we can for everyone but of course behind those statistics there are stories and I’d like to share a
few of those with you tonight. For example the story of the young teen from Somalia who had
been in the U.S. 2 months still did not know a lick of English and decided to use our transparent
library database that we get from MLSA. He now comes up each week to our staff with the new
words he’s learned and he does so with a smile on his face. He’s so proud of himself. Or the
homebound user who was really having a difficult time because she couldn’t, she could hardly
move and she just sat in her bed in the nursing home where she lived until we had a library
volunteer that came in and asked what she wanted to read. Well she didn’t want to read anything
but she did like to listen to country western and she hadn’t listened to country western in the
longest time so that library volunteer went out and checked out some country western CD’s.
Brought them in and the woman started listening and in her bed she started moving a little bit
and then after a few visits the volunteer found out that she was getting up on her walker and she
was moving a little bit more to the music and then after a while later she was moving on her
own. Dancing on her own in her room and she said that it made her so happy to the volunteer
and the other thing she told the volunteer, she had lost 5 pounds. Or the mother and daughter
with the school assignment and the daughter needed to have 3 print resources and I don’t know if
you’ve been through this. I went through this with my sons. You know they left their paper until
the day before it was due and so she had 2 resources but she needed a third one. She came into
the library. The mother was desperate and the librarian said well you know you can go online
and we have a database that will, is actually an electronic book so they got on the database and
they were able to get another source for this girl. She was able to go off and write her paper.
Her mother just wiped the sweat from her brow just about because she really was more
Chanhassen City Council – April 9, 2018

concerned than the daughter was about this deadline. Or the woman, the story of the woman
who had just lost her job. She didn’t know what she was going to do. She heard that there was a
class that was being offered at the library on budgeting so she came to the class. It was taught by
an extension educator and the woman thought oh, this makes lots of sense and after the class she
went up to the educator and she asked if she could take a little time and she explained what was
happening in her life and the educator gave her lots of phone numbers. Followed up with her in
a couple days to see if she had made her appointments with people and sure enough she had and
the woman said thank you to the educator because she felt like she could handle things, that
things would be okay for her. Or the gentleman who had just received a diagnose of brain cancer
and what did his doctor recommend for him? He recommended that the man play games. Well
this guy didn’t have any games at home and he was kind of crimundgeonly and he came into the
library and he said to the librarian, I suppose you don’t have any games for me. That’s all I want
and the librarian said you know what, we have our brain fitness kits and sure enough it’s a basket
full of 4 different educational games. Games that have been proven to stimulate the synopses so
that they make connections again and she gave him one of the binds and he kind of grrrrrr as he
walked about the door. Well in about a week he came back and he said I suppose you don’t have
another one. Well she did so he checked that one out. He went out the door grrrrrr and this kind
of kept going on only there got to be less and less grumbling the more the time went on and
suddenly he was happy taking out his brain fitness kit and his wife told us after he had died that
she was so thankful to the library for those brain fitness kits. His grandchildren had stopped
coming to see grandpa because grandpa was so grouchy you know and they just didn’t want to
think about having a grandpa that was that grouchy and suddenly grandpa wasn’t as grouchy
anymore. Grandma encouraged them to come and grandpa was even wanting to play games with
them so they, as she said her husband had a much better time, a much better sense of himself
when he left this world but most importantly to her, her grandchildren would remember a loving
grandpa who would laugh and play games with them rather than growl at them. But I, and I
could go on all night. There are so many stories. That’s what makes my job so great. So
wonderful but I’m going to let your new branch manager tell you some of the things, the stories
and the events and activities that have been happening at the Chanhassen branch library this last
year and so I’m going to turn it over to Patrick.
Patrick Jones: Hi. I’m Patrick Jones, the new manager of the Chanhassen and Victoria Libraries
and I just want to share a few things with you today. Number one is that we measure library use
in lots of ways and one is circulation and our total circulation of 315,000 is actually one-third of
the circulation of all of Carver County Library. I’m most disappointed, we got to 1,999 library
cards, that we couldn’t find one other person to get a library card so try to find that person for us.
And also impressive is the number of volunteer hours. We do things for adults. I’m going to
briefly highlight those. We have an adult reading program called Winter Reads. We use adults
as volunteers. We use adults who art displays in the library. Professional artists and we do
programming. Coming in April 18th is another program about Prince and we also do a program
called Great Decisions and all of these programs are aimed at our adult users. We also have
huge author visits. Those normally pack in the Wilder meeting room and we had PJ Tracy and
Lorna Lanvick most recently and next year’s presentation, you hear about William Krueger

which I think you’ll be very impressed by. But a lot of what people think of when they think of
public libraries correctly are storytimes and actually there’s 4 storytimes per week and there’s
one I forgot, that’s our Toddler Tim which is actually done with babies which I had to do the
other day which was quite the fun time for me. We do lots of children’s programs. Every season
we do a special storytime which as you can see from the picture is packs the room. We do our
summer reading program. This is probably where the main thing that we do that people
associate with public libraries and I’m glad they do because it’s one of the funnest things we do.
Children read books and can earn incentives but then we also have, as you can see from the
pictures lots of interesting performers and programs that come to the library. And this is all done
because of the people who work there. It’s the people who book the programs. It’s the people
who sign up people for library cards. We have a very creative, helpful library staff and I hope
that everyone will come visit us so we can prove that promise every single day. Thank you for
your time.
Mayor Laufenburger: Patrick and Heidi, thank you very much for coming here and Patrick I
would just say that we’re delighted to have you here. Welcome to Chanhassen and Victoria.
Your predecessor Kathy left quite a mark in this community. She was well loved and she
worked very, very hard and I can see based on what you’re doing already that you’re going to
continue that tradition. I just, a couple questions. We have people in the community that likely
have spare time. What can they do if they’re interested in volunteering for the library? Can you
speak to that Patrick?
Patrick Jones: Sure. We have our volunteers do a whole range of things from shelving library
materials to, we have one volunteer who cleans CD’s that come back so all they need to do is
come in. Fill out a library volunteer application and we will put them to work.
Mayor Laufenburger: Good. So all they need to do is just show up and say I’d like to volunteer?
Patrick Jones: Well they have to fill out an application and be vetted.
Mayor Laufenburger: Okay.
Patrick Jones: And then they can volunteer. We also, the Friends of the Library, they can join
the Friends of the Chanhassen Library and they will really put them to work during the book sale
which is coming up actually on, beginning on April 26th.
Mayor Laufenburger: Good, well I just, for those that are watching at home or on the website
livestream, the library provides a wonderful service as you both have talked about and I know
that you’re always in need of more people to help out and engaging with the library means you
engage with active and vital minds and that’s always a good thing from my standpoint so, any
questions or comments from the council? Well I wish you both great success in the coming year.
I like that you have made promises that you want to keep. I think that our community and our
county needs to know that they can count on the library to, not only to be there but to be an

inspiration and a motivation as you indicated in some of your stories Heidi so thanks to both of
you and continued good success.
Heidi Hoks: Thank you.
Mayor Laufenburger: And I hope you find that one more member.
Patrick Jones: I have to go back in time and get them.
Heidi Hoks: Thank you.
Mayor Laufenburger: Thank you very much. Alright we next have a presentation from Tonka
Cares. Would you step to the podium here. State your name please.
Kim Oelhafen: Hi, I’m Kim Oelhafen.
Mayor Laufenburger: Kim, welcome.
Kim Oelhafen: Thank you.
Mayor Laufenburger: And just for a little background would you mind just telling us a little bit
about what Tonka CARES is and it’s intersection with the Chanhassen community.
Kim Oelhafen: Absolutely. So Tonka CARES is actually a federally funded community
coalition. It’s based on healthy youth development, substance use prevention and early
intervention strategies. They’ve been around for about 13 years actually. I however just took
over a role as director back in September so just about 6 months ago. They are federally funded
by a drug free communities grant. These grants are foundation wide. There’s roughly 719
community coalitions nationwide now. Tonka CARES however was one of the actual first. Not
only in the state of Minnesota but nationwide and was also responsible in partnering with other
local community groups here in Minnesota and providing an organization called the Minnesota
Prevention Alliance so they’ve done a lot in trying to improve youth wellness in our
communities.
Mayor Laufenburger: And it’s called Tonka CARES because it’s affiliated with the Minnetonka
School District #276, is that correct?
Kim Oelhafen: That is correct. So though independent from the school district itself we are
fiscally housed there presently so that’s where we are homed right now. This is our last of 10
years of the grant so that may be changing very well in the near future so September of 2018 will
be our last month officially affiliated with the school district.

Mayor Laufenburger: And just for those people that are watching at home or via the website,
Chanhassen is a community of 26,000 people but roughly the northern one-third of the
community is served by the Minnetonka School District and the southern two-thirds is served by
Eastern Carver County Schools so welcome Kim. Nice to have you with us.
Kim Oelhafen: Thank you. Yeah I’d like to add to that, we’re very honored that many of our
coalition members are actually residents of Chanhassen. Not only members but also
organizations that we partner with and a number of students obviously reside in Chanhassen. I
myself am an alumni from the area. I grew up going to the skateboard park right across the street
from here my entire life. I was on the US Snowboard Team so my summers were spent here at
Chanhassen so.
Mayor Laufenburger: So you’re training for the US Snowboard Team.
Kim Oelhafen: I was.
Mayor Laufenburger: Took place right here in Chanhassen.
Kim Oelhafen: That’s right, exactly. Yep. There was a couple of us actually so.
Mayor Laufenburger: Welcome home.
Kim Oelhafen: Thank you. Actually after being gone for 17 years I came back this last winter
and that’s why I took this position so I am formerly trained as a medical physician. I have a
medical doctorate, a masters degree in public health. I decided to transition my work into public
health because I had a brother that passed away from an opioid use disorder. Also working in
general surgery I saw just how inadequate our prevention services are and how poorly we’re
really giving resources to prevention strategies so rather than treating at a tertiary care level I’ve
decided to go a few steps up the stream and primary prevention is now what I’m focused on so
honored to be here but as I said I’m the Director of Tonka CARES. We’re a community
coalition. We provide direct services but also partner with community organizations and serve
as a hub for resources, both for Chanhassen, Shorewood, Excelsior, really all the boundaries
within the Minnetonka Public School District area. So I ask for a few moments of your time
tonight. In regard to recent data that came out for the Minnesota Youth Tobacco Survey. So the
Minnetonka Youth Tobacco Survey has been conducted in Minnesota by the Department of
Health since 2000. In 2017 the data reflected an increase in tobacco use amongst our youth in
Minnesota. This is the first time since it’s origin in 2000 that they actually saw an increase in
use and this actually represented almost a 50 percent increase since it’s previous study in 2014.
This showed an increased use amongst both middle school and high school students and was
largely attributed to the rising popularity of E-cigarettes, vaping and flavored tobacco products.
In 2017 over 16 percent of middle school students and 47 percent of high school students in the
state of Minnesota had tried at least one tobacco product already at this point in their lives.
Current rates in Carver County, as you can see in the second handout, represented 23.3 percent
Chanhassen City Council – April 9, 2018
8
use of tobacco amongst 11th grade students. This is in comparison to Hennepin County’s 19.3
percent and the statewide average of 21.8. This does mark a statistically significant higher
percentage of use in Carver County students. Tobacco remains a leading cause of preventable
death and disease in our state and the Minnesota Department of Health reports that 102,100
youth are projected to die from smoking related illness. It is well recognized and accepted that
nicotine is a highly addictive and particular harmful substance. This is increasingly true of the
adolescent brain where individuals can have significant long term effects and cognitive
development, mental health as well as adversely higher rates of future substance use and
addiction disorders. Presently 90 percent of current smokers began smoking tobacco products
before the age of 18 with 95 percent of current tobacco smokers starting before the age of 21.
Several localities and states nationwide have begun to develop what are called Tobacco 21 laws
or city ordinances. This includes both vaping products and traditional tobacco products and
when it’s a sale of these products to individuals 21 years of age and older. These changes
resulted in decreased access to harmful products within the students age 15 to 18, namely those
still in high school. Local communities including Edina, St. Louis Park, Bloomington and most
recently Plymouth have adopted similar ordinances to these seen nationwide. Similarly
neighboring communities like Minnetonka and Minneapolis are having similar discussions. A
Minnesota state specific study revealed that changing laws to reflect a purchase age of 21 would
result in an estimated 30,000 fewer young people becoming addicted over the next 15 years to
any tobacco product. Moreover in 2015 the Institute of Medicine found that raising the purchase
age to 21 would decrease smoking initiation among 15 to 17 year olds by 25 percent which is
just a remarkable number. National consensus is growing. Here within the suburbs of the
Minneapolis-St. Paul area as well as nationwide to commit to protecting our youth and people
from a lifetime of health problems and adverse effects including addiction disease and disorders.
Several surveys have been carried out and reflect that even upwards of 75 percent of adults,
including 70 percent of current tobacco users would favor changing tobacco ordinances to 21. In
conclusion I came here tonight to speak to you about the growing concern and trends which
reveal increased tobacco use amongst youth in our community. Utilizing evidence based
strategies is of paramount importance to address the issue of use initiation. Ordinances such as
Tobacco 21 provide opportunities for municipalities such as Chanhassen to be at the forefront of
improving youth wellness by significantly reducing and numerous years of life lost to tobacco
and vapor related illness. I so thank you for your time and consideration.
Mayor Laufenburger: Thank you. Any comments or questions for the presentation? For the
visitor. Alright, thank you Ms. Oelhafen. Best of luck to you.
Kim Oelhafen: Thank you very much.
Mayor Laufenburger: And welcome back.
Kim Oelhafen: Thank you. I appreciate it.

APPROVE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH ISD 112 AND RILEY-
PURGATORY-BLUFF CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT FOR CHANHASSEN HIGH
SCHOOL STORMWATER CAPTURE AND REUSE PROJECT.
Mayor Laufenburger: Mr. Oehme is this your’s?
Paul Oehme: Yes it is.
Mayor Laufenburger: Alright.
Paul Oehme: Thank you Mayor, City Council members. So this project essentially will use the
runoff, the stormwater runoff from the high school’s roofs, buildings, parking lots captured in a
pond on campus and reuse it for irrigation across the campus. So a little background about the
project. One of the former Environmental Commissioners, Matthew Myers spearheaded this
project through the Environmental Commission. His passion was water, conservation of water
and the aquifer sustainability and this project really fit both of those high points in his philosophy
so this project has been talked about in some sort of design and designed over the last 3 years
and up to this point so it’s been a long process since the Environmental Commission first started
looking at this project. The overall the project will again it will retrofit the City’s, or the
Chanhassen High School’s existing irrigation system to capture, store, reuse stormwater and use
that water for the ballfields, open spaces and the landscape features on the campus. The water,
the stormwater from the east pond, and I’ll show you on the next slide is a site where all that
water will be captured and be pumped out. There is also a UV system to disinfect the water prior
to it being discharged onto the campus and the school district has committed to maintain and
operate the system into the future. The high school does have the ability to still use the city
water for irrigation if necessary so there’s a dual capacity there. This is just an exhibit of the
school campus. North parking lot is here. The high school is right here. The ballfields are to the
north so basically this is the pond out in the back just south of the tennis courts. That’s the pond
that’s proposed to be used to capture the water and to treat it just in a pump station and
disinfection station just south of the tennis courts and then pump it back into the irrigation lines.
Existing irrigation lines and irrigation boxes. There’s an extensive electrical power need for this
type of equipment so there is a lot of new wire and electrical improvements associated with this
system from the high school and then also distribution, electrical lines to the irrigation box as
well so that is a big component cost for this project. Here’s just a real brief schematic of the
system itself. Diagram so pump the water out from the pond. The surface water pond into, from
the pump. Treatment system and then into the irrigation system. There’s some backflow
preventers and other check valves just to make sure that that water doesn’t get back into the
potable water system and then the treatment plant’s shown here. This is kind of a blow up of
that. There’s a filtration system within that treatment building to take out some of the
particulates of the water and then send that through the UV system to treat the water for
Chanhassen City Council – April 9, 2018

disinfection again. So some of the benefits associated with this project. The City, or the high
school is the biggest irrigation user within our community. They can use upwards of 1.9 million
gallons per year so we hope to offset a lot of that usage by reusing the water from the campus for
irrigation. The project will also improve water quality of Bluff Creek. It’s estimated in, the
watershed district has estimated that about 433 pounds of total solids will not be discharged into
the Bluff Creek creek by this project. There’d be a reduction of about 6.7 pounds of phosphorus
associated with this project into Bluff Creek and then also a reduction of the volume of about
10.7 acre feet of water going into the Bluff Creek will be decreased by implementation of this
project. This project will also help the City fulfill it’s MS4 permit. That’s the stormwater
improvement permit that we have with the PCA. It goes a long way to addressing some of those
issues. It also, whether it will be a public education process, awareness for this project. Just
letting people, residents, school, students know about the importance of reusing water. The
importance of conserving ground water and then maintaining good hydrology. Hydrology in our
wetlands as well and then from a city’s perspective you know anytime we can reduce the amount
of irrigation use within our community that helps offset some of the peak needs. Summer peak
demands for water and irrigation so hopefully we, by this project and other projects down the
road we can potentially delay new wells. So the watershed district, Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek
watershed district did take the lead on the project. They have put the engineering documents
together and solicited bids back in March. Bids were received and we did have two bidders. Put
in some bids. Peterson Companies was the lowest responsible bidder at $275,736. Peterson
Companies is well known within the metro area for water use projects and they’ve been a lot of
projects for communities here in the upper Midwest and their work has been acceptable. So
financing for this project if it were to move forward. The watershed district did receive $200,000
state grant through the Legacy Dollars for this project. The watershed district also has
committed $118,000 of their resources to go towards this project. The high school, the school
district and watershed district are asking the City contribute upwards of $100,000 for this project
and this project was budgeted within our capital improvement plan for 2018 and funds would
come out of the stormwater and water utility funds. And with that if there’s any questions that
the council may have I’ll be more than happy to try to answer them.
Mayor Laufenburger: Alright, thank you Mr. Oehme. Any questions from council?
Councilmember Ryan, go ahead.
Councilwoman Ryan: Thank you. Mr. Oehme just right now there’s no water reuse program at
all by the school?
Paul Oehme: No, there is not. Not at the high school.
Councilwoman Ryan: Okay. And so when you talk about, just so I understand. When you talk
about retrofitting, is it using their current irrigation system and then putting that whole, that new
system in the ground there?
Paul Oehme: Yep correct. So basically.
Chanhassen City Council – April 9, 2018

Councilwoman Ryan: The process flow, that diagram that you had on the process flow chart, is
that would be installed?
Paul Oehme: That’s the main guts of the system. The pumps and the UV system and the
electrical components associated with the system. The existing irrigation heads that are on the
campus today, those aren’t going to be removed or, those still would be used in the future so it’s
just basically taking off line the City’s water supply and using this system and the surface water
that’s, the water that’s coming, from the pond, using that water instead of the City’s water to
irrigate the high school campus.
Councilwoman Ryan: And so then when you talk about the, because the demand is less, I think
you said 1.9 million, that’s why the wells would be, the need for a new well?
Paul Oehme: Right. Anytime we can shave off peak demand during the summer months and
you know there’s anytime we can decrease the amount of irrigation use within our community
that would help offset the, and decrease the need for potentially for more wells for the
community as we grow in the future. Obviously we’re going to have more demand, water
demand in the future so if we can offset some of the peak demand during the summer months
that would potentially defer a new well down the road because our system is basically designed
for peak summertime irrigation demands so to decrease that amount of water from our summer
usage that would really go a long way to improving and delaying, potentially delaying new
wells.
Councilwoman Ryan: Okay, thank you.
Mayor Laufenburger: So just to clarify. You said take the current source offline. It sounds like
this will be their first choice of source for irrigation water. But if there isn’t enough of this water
they could still tap into the city water.
Paul Oehme: Absolutely.
Mayor Laufenburger: We’re not preventing them from doing that.
Paul Oehme: That’s correct.
Mayor Laufenburger: We’re just, we’re helping enable them to use primarily storm water reuse.
Paul Oehme: Right, exactly. If we can reuse, or have them use the surface water 75 percent of
the year, during the summer months, you know that helps offset costs for them for water and it
also decreases the overall demand for the city.
Mayor Laufenburger: Sure. Council any other questions? Mr. McDonald.
Chanhassen City Council – April 9, 2018
12
Councilman McDonald: On this project, I see where the City’s contribution is $100,000. We’re
not managing this project are we? Is this something the school district would do?
Paul Oehme: Yep so the watershed district actually is managing the project. They solicited the
bids. They put the engineering documents together. The plans and the specifications so they’ll
be managing it. Inspecting the project and making sure the as-builts and the system’s
functioning before it goes online.
Councilman McDonald: Okay so our role is strictly as a contributor.
Paul Oehme: Correct.
Councilman McDonald: Thank you.
Mayor Laufenburger: And Mr. Oehme what the council is approving tonight is, we’re
essentially approving the cooperative agreement which stipulates that our contribution is
$100,000.
Paul Oehme: That’s correct.
Mayor Laufenburger: Is that a one time or will there be an ongoing contribution from the City of
Chanhassen?
Paul Oehme: No this is a one time contribution for this project.
Mayor Laufenburger: To build the.
Paul Oehme: The infrastructure.
Mayor Laufenburger: The infrastructure in order to recapture the storm water.
Paul Oehme: Exactly. The school district will own and operate the system in perpetuity in the
future.
Mayor Laufenburger: Great, great. Any other questions or comments? Well before I ask the
council to make a motion I just think that, I know this was a passion of Mr. Myers and I know he
continues to be involved with athletics at the high school and I just, I applaud not only him but
the Environmental Commission and the work that they did to support this and this will be a
really good thing. There’s a lot of water that, whether it’s on the parking lot or on the athletic
field that is, the turf field. There’s a lot of water that is just not being used right now so this is a
great use. So I would look for any comment or action from the council at this time.
Chanhassen City Council – April 9, 2018

Councilwoman Ryan: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor Laufenburger: Councilmember Ryan, go ahead.
Councilwoman Ryan: I’d like to make the motion that the City Council approves a cooperative
agreement with the Easter Carver County School District 112 and the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff
Creek Watershed District for a Chanhassen High School storm water capture and reuse project.
Mayor Laufenburger: Alright, thank you. Is there a second?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Second.
Mayor Laufenburger: Thank you Councilmember Tjornhom. So just again we’re approving the
agreement which stipulates that Chanhassen’s financial participation is $100,000 and is noted in
the report, this is part of the CIP so it’s planned for. Any further discussion?
Councilwoman Ryan moved, Councilwoman Tjornhom seconded that the City Council
approves a cooperative agreement with the Easter Carver County School District 112 and
the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District for a Chanhassen High School storm
water capture and reuse project. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously
with a vote of 4 to 0.
COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS.
Mayor Laufenburger: Are there any council presentations this evening? I would just like to
make one and this is part of the correspondence packet. There is a, on April 17th the Carver
County Sheriff’s Office will be providing a recognition evening for recognizing years of service
pins. Recognition of retirees, etcetera and this is on Tuesday, April 17th so it’d be next Tuesday.
It’s at 7:00 p.m. in the lower level of the Justice Center at the Carver County Government
Center. This is an opportunity if anybody in the public would like to attend please do so. The
Carver County Sheriff’s Office is the organization with whom the City of Chanhassen contracts
for our law enforcement. They do a wonderful job for us in my estimation and periodically they
have years of service awards or retirement and I would anticipate there may be something about
Sheriff Jim Olson’s retirement at that meeting as well so just wanted to make that as part of my
council presentation. Any other council presentation?
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS.
Mayor Laufenburger: Anything administratively Assistant City Manager Petersen?
Chelsea Petersen: Yes just one. We have our second franchise fee public meeting tomorrow
night from 6:00 to 7:30 in the library. We had a great turnout, great engagement at the first
meeting so anticipating the same at the second.
Chanhassen City Council – April 9, 2018

Mayor Laufenburger: Good, and this would be a great opportunity for citizens who are
interested in learning about and commenting on the City Council has directed city staff to receive
community comment on using franchise fees as a funding source for our pavement management
program. And by the way I just received an electronic text from City Manager Gerhardt and he
says he can even get the City Council meeting in the Grand Caymans. He must be not searching
for sharks or something right now.
Chelsea Petersen: Must be a rain storm down there.
Mayor Laufenburger: Mr. Oehme you did a nice job summarizing the reuse program. Alright,
anything else?
Chelsea Petersen: Nope, that’s it thank you.
Mayor Laufenburger: Alright, there being nothing else any comments, any other comments on
the correspondence packet? May I have a motion to adjourn?
Councilman McDonald moved, Councilwoman Tjornhom seconded to adjourn the
meeting. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0. The

Hoffman: Other than, depending on which version of the agenda you have, there is a correction
to the approval of Minutes. The correct date is you’re approving the February 27, 2018 Minutes.
Scharfenberg: Thank you Todd. I’d also add under reports an I(5), discussion points of the
council meeting coming up on April the 9th. We can add that item.
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS.
Scharfenberg: With that any public announcements Todd?
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018

Hoffman: We have one. Katie’s going to give a public announcement on Saturday’s Easter Egg
Candy Hunt.
Matthews: Hello everyone. I’d just like to announce that the 35th Annual Easter Egg and Candy
Hunt will be held this Saturday at City Center Park right out in the open space between City Hall
and Chanhassen Elementary and it starts at 9:00 a.m. It is $5 per child and then they would
come and they get a gift, a little basket. A chance to win a door prize and we will have an Easter
Bunny there so you’ll have a photo op with the Easter Bunny. If you have any questions feel
free to let me know.
Scharfenberg: Do you need any volunteers for that Katie?
Matthews: If anybody is willing to volunteer yes, we are always, we could always use more
hands so let me know if you’re interested.
Scharfenberg: Thanks Katie.
Matthews: Thank you.
Scharfenberg: I would add one other announcement because I think this happens before our next
meeting. On April 21st, Saturday, April the 21st the Chanhassen Red Birds are having their
annual silent auction and kind of kick off event at the Legion. That runs I think from 6:00 p.m.
to 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults and children are free so last year the Red Birds took
second place in the Minnesota Baseball Association League and we’re expecting to have a good
team again this year so if you’re interested in getting a season ticket and meeting some Red Birds
come out to that event on April 21st.
Boettcher: Where’s that at?
Scharfenberg: At the Legion.
VISITOR PRESENTATIONS.
Scharfenberg: I believe we have a visitor presentation tonight from a representative from the
mountain bike group and so I would call their representative forward at this time. Please state
your name and your address for us.
Russ Raschke: Hello I’m Russ Raschke. I’m a Chanhassen resident, 7402 Frontier Trail,
Chanhassen, Minnesota, 55317. I’ve been a resident for roughly 20 years now and I am here to
talk about multiple use trails and a proposed trail system we’re looking to try to get sponsored so
just quickly like we said, want to talk more about you know what they are. Who we are and
jumping into that. I am representing a lot of the high school mountain bike team. I’m also
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018

helping to represent our coaching staff as well as many of our other riders in the area that are
looking to try to get some trails in this place, as well as parents of students that are riders on the
team so that’s what we’re asking. Mountain biking, I just want to talk briefly about it, is
growing in popularity. I think most of you are probably are familiar with mountain biking but
really what we are starting to see is this is the growth of bicycling. Most road biking and type
things have diminished in the latest years but if you look at bike sales and different things of that
nature in the bicycling industry mountain biking is the one that’s growing in that part. Local and
youth mountain bike clubs have grown from 5 to 65 riders in the last 6 years. There’s more adult
riders taking off the road in more multi-use trails just to try to get away from some of the cars
and traffic and some of the texting that’s going on in that as well. Minnesota Youth Mountain
Biking, your high school cycling increased over 1,200 riders now so there’s tremendous growth
in this from the last 6 years. Winter fat biking has obviously grown in popularity. Everybody’s
seen the crazy big fat bike tires rolling down the road in the wintertime and you just starting to
see it more and more. Mountain biking is soon to be offered in local physical education classes.
I believe Chris could speak more to that but District 112 Community Education is actually
looking at purchasing bicycles and then leading them out to the schools for different community
education courses in different parts of it as well. Mostly middle school if I’m not mistaken, is
that correct?
Chris Przybylski: Yes.
Russ Raschke: Yes okay. So basically this is not a fad. This is a growing sport. We’re seeing it
growing in other cities as well so Edina and Minnetonka are looking at adding trails. Local trail
systems. Other areas that have put in trails recently, south down there. Lakeville they put in a 5
mile trail system as well as, where were we saying?
Audience: Oak Park Heights.
Russ Raschke: Oak Park Heights also so there’s local community growth we’re starting to put in
where you see two of eleven trail system so I know everybody’s kind of familiar with Eleven
Hills or those types of parks where you get 20-30 miles of trails and it’s this massive thing where
you have a big trail head and lots of other things and we all love those but the reality is it’s not
necessarily always easy to get high school teams or actually in middle school riders that we often
are training and coaching because we coach 8th grade on through 12th grade to those events in a
timely fashion and try to get everybody moved there because obviously bike racks. People work.
Everything else and it’s, it’s managed by adults mostly or that have to have jobs unfortunately.
So these local places to ride are really beneficial for us to be able to take the kids out to and get
them started and it’s great for the local neighborhoods to be able to use these things and get their
kids outside and running around so this is one of the things I found with my daughter and other
people would say as well is you know there’s such an attraction now to the games and the phones
and this and that and it’s so easy to do that and there’s just not enough draw to get outside and
walk around but we find getting out on the bikes and trails and riding around and going through
things and up and down and being out there with their friends, it’s a draw. We can get kids out
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018

and active again so we really find this to be fun and we run it as much more open sport so it’s not
like you have to be an elite level athlete to be part of our group. We break up into groups and let
everybody participate so it’s a very open sport as far as that part goes. What mountain bike trails
are? We just briefly got 1, 2 farther, well actually looks like I went right to it. We’re going to
give a brief shot at what mountain bike trails are the fast way. We’ll give a little video of what
mountain bike trails are. This is a course up in Cuyuna Lakes, Minnesota so Ironton-Crosby area
and they built many miles of multi-bike trails up there with some big grants to do this but this
gives you an idea of some of the trail systems that are out there and you can see that it’s
bicycling but it’s not bicycling fast and it’s not necessarily crazy things where we’re going down
massive hills or big drops…but it’s fun enough to get outside and get into trees and work on
skills… Anybody in here a mountain biker? No. You are? Wonderful, alright. So I don’t think
we need to run this thing all the way to ground but I think you’ve got an idea of what the trails
are right? So a little bit more definition of what we consider trails and what we’d be looking at
building as trails that are less than 2 feet wide. We try to build them one way or one direction so
you don’t have people coming at opposite directions and meeting each other at speeds. Closed
during wet conditions to limit damage or runoff or erosion and those types of things that people
are always concerned about. Keeping them winding with elevation changes but controlled to
keep speeds low enough to where they’re not dangerous so we don’t really want to build
anything with articulated berms or anything where you can get people hurt. Using a natural
condition surfaces so no paved trails and that type of stuff. It’s going to be dirt and mason gravel
section, different things like that depending on what the conditions are and we would propose
multi-use shared trails that could also be used like cross country running team and those types of
things from the high school that could basically run the tracks or run their trails around there as
well to get some actual use out of them so that’s what we call them. There’s obviously great
demand for these in the area. Several track teams, or sorry, cross country running teams would
love to use them. You go out and you see people going ahead and snowshoeing and hiking and
obviously lots of people riding the fat bikes now so there’s definitely more demand for this. I
think you’re starting to see it on your website and I know that we have lots of people that would
love to give you a barrage of different requests for more trails and we’re trying to coordinate you
know how to put that effort out there so people understand how many people actually ride bikes.
It’s just a, you know maybe send them to your website and get that feel out there for how many
people there are so we might be working on that a little bit to kind of help you understand what
the demand is for that. Really we’d love to have more here so when we talk about mountain bike
trails, like we said there are some that are around but we seem to find a void in our, we just say
southwestern region so if you were to look northern of the cities there’s a lot bigger trail sections
up there. If you cross the river south and you can get down towards Burnsville there’s sections
down there but where we’re at you’re probably a half mile, 40 minutes from a decent bike trail at
5:00 which is difficult for where we’re at. What we end up doing now, cyclists you know we
make use of some of the local snowmobile trails in the river bottoms down in Carver and
Chaska. Problem with that is it’s been highly dependent and as you know the last 3 years, 2 of
the 3 years we’ve been wet down there the entire cycling season. It’s just mud so there’s been
little riding around there. Of course we have to watch out for flooding and hunting so we end up
traveling and riding on gravel roads. Paved trails which is good but a lot of the paved trails have
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018

a lot of road crossings and different things and it’s really hard to manage 40 plus kids. 40 plus
kids in a group out there crossing roads and dealing with cars so a little bit more off road riding
trail systems would be great for us plus it’d be great for more practicing the skills. We have a
good team. We have very good experience with our team and we’d like to keep them
encouraged and doing well with that as well so it’s been fun to this part. So right now riders
must drive to other cities, counties to find trails and you know keeping it here you’re going to
have more people here as well so it’s an opportunity for us and for the city and I think it’s an
opportunity for your citizens to use as well. Again distracted drivers are a concern for us as well
so trying to avoid that is part of what we’re doing. So what are we proposing? Well we’re here
to propose some single track trails through woods, around trees and up and down hills. Trails
would be one way. I already talked about that. We have people that have already attended the
INVA training, or sorry trails manufacturing skills. Designed to use them so that we control the
speeds of bike and environmental impacts. Set them up on the sides of hills with the drainage set
properly so you don’t have gullies running down where often times you see where people just
start walking trails and they just run them straight up and down the hill or straight across the top
and you end up with standing water or things like that so, you know we have people trained in
that. We would propose that bicyclists would yield to walkers on the trails that we’d be building
at this point. We don’t think there’s going to be a ton of traffic where we’re going to be at
anyway. And then we would also include signage and safety so that you have basically
trailheads, directions and that type of thing so it’s more clear. Again talked about ecologically
friendly trails to prevent erosion. Try not to damage trees or cutting down on that nature so try to
work around it naturally for us. A little more way around things is actually better. It makes it
more entertaining so up and around and across things and you know safe sustainable trails. So
our goal would be to build things that don’t take as much to manage. You can see a picture of a
trail here that shows how it’s cut in the edge of a hill and it’s a good example of how it would be
done. Some of the areas we’re looking at won’t have quite as much vegetation as this or trees as
this but that’s what we’re looking at. So what we were looking around and talking to Todd in
years past one of the things that’s always been discussed is why we would like to have some
mountain bike trails and they want to do it but where can you do it. A lot of times it comes down
to who’s got land is what we’ve been told and where can you do that and what can you get that
land to build those places, right? And we understand that people don’t, you get land. You
purchase land underneath an agreement. You have it built in an area and then to try to repurpose
it or to change it is not necessarily so easily so we started looking around at what options there
were and we noticed that this area on the side of 212 and Pioneer Trail is actually really good for
multiple reasons. It’s actually currently owned by MnDOT and it’s under utilized. Basically it’s
weeds and it’s actually in a fairly good location relative to Pioneer Ridge Middle School where a
lot of Chanhassen kids go to middle school and around. It connects to many local bicycle trails
that run along those areas. And it has an intersection that was recently updated for safe crossing.
And MnDOT who owns the land, we’ve already discussed with and they are willing to go ahead
and set up a limited use permit for 10 years for use of that land so, and they’ve also done this
with other property owners or sorry, other cities in the past so Mankato has one of these set up. I
think you guys have lots of limited use permits for putting paved bike trails and other sections
where you have parts of parks through them already so it’s not something you’re not familiar

with. Just a quick snapshot of where we’re looking. The area in the orange, if you look right in
the middle of there and then to the up side we’re looking at Pioneer Ridge Middle School and
then the Chaska High School just to left of it. The area that we’d be primarily concerned about is
in the upper right corner where we’re looking at this big swath between Pioneer Ridge and 212
would be where we would want to start with and I think if I jump a little bit ahead, thank you.
That helps dramatically. Yes. So right now that is a nice big hill that MnDOT left a bunch of
dirt there and nothing else on. And let’s see jump to our next section. We’d be looking at
building possibly a trailhead at this point. Talk about the different areas that there are. There’s
parking and restrooms at one of the little local parks there and there’s also a public restroom park
right inbetween the Chaska High School and the Pioneer Ridge Middle School there so there is
restrooms that are by it. There’s lots of trails that go to this area so if you look at the blue paths
that are coming up there you can see that there’s trails that come down through all the
neighborhoods down to it. Actually a little bit more off to the right you know that you have a
nice paved trail that comes back past the Chanhassen High School that ends just a little bit north
of where this is as well so I wouldn’t doubt that that’s far off the path of where you guys are
looking at connecting trails through in the not too distant future. What we’re looking at is purely
a series of different trails wrapped into these areas so you can see that we have one section that
we’re talking about in the first in the upper right and I’m going to jump 2 ahead here before we
get to it to lay that out and this is basically some line in trails that you can imagine cover up and
down this land and these are proposed trails laid out using elevation, topographical maps and
Google Earth. I don’t have the overlays on here right now but if you’re interested I’d be
certainly happy to share them with you. We’ve walked this land a couple times just out of
curiosity to see how it would look and it looks quite promising. The only downside is there’s not
so much trees on it but actually for middle school and starting cycling it’s actually a really good
place to start. Some nice hills and it wraps up around and it’s got some good views and you’re
not in anybody’s back yard to complain about someone making noise or having lights on in the
middle of the night. This section we believe can be a little over 3 miles of trails right into, off
the get go. This section here which is behind the middle school and high school is, would
probably be our second section that we’d be trying to build in. Also on the MnDOT land and it
would add another 3 or so miles to this section if we played around with this as well so we can
get roughly 7 miles of trails into these areas which would be nice for a community sized park but
certainly not an Eleven Hills or something else so I don’t think we’d end up with large amounts
of traffic in this type of environment. You know currently if you pay somebody to build trails
it’s $30 to $50K per mile. We have a lot of volunteers. We think you can build almost all of this
based on trails that have been done before and training the people that have seen with really
pretty much manual labor. Yard equipment. Lawn mowers to mow down some of the weeds
that we have. Maybe some tillers to level off or cut off the edges of some banks that we have to
come around but nothing major where we’re talking about major excavation. We have a lot of
volunteers that are really, really gung ho and ready to work on this as well as some students that
we would give hand tools to work on. No power tools. And we would propose helping to
manage and build those trails as the team and group or club to help manage those so the City
wouldn’t have this thing where they’d now have something else that they weren’t familiar with
managing. So what we’re here to talk to you about is what we need from, to get this started is
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
7
somebody to work with MnDOT to sponsor us. To talk to them and get a limited use permit or
conditional use permit to go ahead and kick this off and give us the ability to get into that and
work with it. We’ve also discussed with Chaska as well as Carver County a little bit about this
and we don’t have anything nailed down at this point but we do know that we’ve talked to you in
the past Todd and I know that’s an interest for Chanhassen and we really would love to work
with the City of Chanhassen and do what we could to try to get something like this going for our
kids and try to make this happen so, that’s why we’re here today. Do you have any questions
about what we talked about?
Scharfenberg: Anybody have any questions for Russ?
Hougham: Yeah, hi Russ. Do you have any meetings set up with the other groups? The City of
Chaska or the School yet?
Russ Raschke: Yeah so actually I’m going to bring up a couple of our other coaches along with
because they’ve actually discussed with Chaska a little bit already and they’re already looking
into this in some regard and we’ve also discussed a little bit with Carver County if I’m not
mistaken Tim so there’s been some discussions with them as well, and nothing is formalized.
It’s, we’ve had a discussion, I guess you’d have to elaborate on what we’ve, where that’s gone.
Hougham: And as a reminder when you come up please state your name and address please.
Tim Vossberg: Okay I’m Tim Vossberg and I live in Chaska. 3380 Lakeshore Drive, Chaska.
Hougham: Thanks.
Tim Vossberg: So as Russ said we had a meeting, myself and our other head coach Steve and
his wife Chris. The three of us met with Matt Podhradsky, City Administrator. Marshall
Grange, the new Park and Rec Director and Brian Jung, the Public Works Director and so the 6
of us talked about this opportunity with MnDOT and so they sounded positive to us in terms of
potentially partnering with us and I gave them some paperwork on the LUP that Mankato has
and then also when we were at MnDOT, it was myself and another gentleman met with MnDOT
roughly a month ago now and so we, they drew up an LUP for us for this situation. Just
basically blank to start with and you know put a number on it but, and I have that paperwork as
well but.
Russ Raschke: They being MnDOT.
Tim Vossberg: Yes. And so a couple of those folks are going to be on vacation this week,
spring break and so we haven’t set up you know a definite time for some other meetings in the
future but I needed, they wanted some information from the Mankato situation so I’m working
on getting them some information on the Mankato situation. And then also myself and another
gentleman in our project group, we talked with the Chaska athletic director roughly 5-6 weeks
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
8
ago about trying to partner with them. That was before we had our meeting with MnDOT so it
wasn’t focused on this MnDOT option if you want to call it that but we’re trying to line up
another meeting with the Chaska and Chan athletic directors as soon as possible. Nothing is set
in stone yet at this time so.
Hougham: Okay, thank you.
Tim Vossberg: Does that answer your question?
Russ Raschke: And when you say Mankato situation, they actually have trails there. It’s not a
situation, it’s just who the contacts were that set it up so they would be able to look at it as a
reference point.
Tim Vossberg: Right, right. Yeah they have.
Russ Raschke: Situation sounded negative. No, they’ve already built trails.
Tim Vossberg: Down there.
Russ Raschke: Yes.
Tim Vossberg: On MnDOT land so.
Scharfenberg: Any other questions for Russ? Russ the land that you’re talking about on the two
different slides, it appears that most of that land falls within Chaska. Is that a fair?
Russ Raschke: That’s a fair assessment, yeah. I would say if we jump back a little bit we can I
think we might actually even put a border on here that shows where it is. It might not be in this
slide, sorry. So you’re correct. The majority of it actually falls on Chaska but not all of it. So if
we looked at the upright hand corner, yeah. Todd if you, yeah just a little bit to the left. That’s
Chanhassen. Exactly so you’re two-thirds, one-third yes. Which is what makes it kind of, we
don’t want to leave everybody out of the loop. Anybody out of the loop. We would like to
obviously we would like to get sponsorship from either city and we certainly think that you know
they could work together as well just to discuss how it works out as best possible but yeah it does
definitely fall, split between them. Again the first section that we’re looking at is that section
that split between the two of them and the reason we’re looking at that first is because it’s really,
it’s a nice section for starting the trails out on.
Scharfenberg: And what is the County’s response been to date?
Russ Raschke: Tim did you have?
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018

Tim Vossberg: So what I didn’t mention previously there is, after we had the meeting with
MnDOT then I met with Marty Walsh who’s park and rec for Carver County and they are
interested in potentially partnering with us but nothing’s really been decided yet. I think he
wanted to see you know about Chaska and Chan and what kind of reaction and response we got
first before potentially deciding to partner with us.
Scharfenberg: Okay. Alright, any other questions for Russ? Well I.
Hougham: I had, oops. I have a question. I’m just trying to decide who it’s for. It may be for
Todd. When the property proposed as shared in such a way between two cities, how does that
work from a responsibility perspective? You know who’s responsible for the maintenance?
Who’s responsible for the LUP? Any liability associated with the property. It just seems a little.
Hoffman: So all the property is owned by MnDOT. Minnesota Department of Transportation
and whoever signs the LUP with them would be the responsible party for all the things you
listed.
Tim Vossberg: Excuse me, can I add in there that.
Scharfenberg: Tim you might want to come up just so we got you on the record.
Tim Vossberg: Sorry, sure.
Scharfenberg: Because we are recorded.
Tim Vossberg: Okay. So I just want to point out that, realize that we would take responsibility
for the maintenance of the trails. Our group would maintain the trails. Just like, so on the other
mountain bike trails that generally that are in the Twin Cities area a group that’s called MORC,
Minnesota Off Road Cyclists, their group maintains most of the mountain bike trails in the Twin
Cities area even though there are several different land owners with those pieces.
Russ Raschke: But it wouldn’t necessarily have to be through MORC. It could be a club that
does it.
Tim Vossberg: Right. Right and I’m very familiar with MORC. I was on the MORC board for
a while and, but we would propose doing it with our group and MORC would not be involved.
Russ Raschke: And that’s been a format that’s been used by a couple of the other communities
that have recently put parks in as well.
Tim Vossberg: Yes, Oak Park Heights and Lakeville are the two best examples where they’ve
recently built trails without a MORC affiliation.
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
10
Russ Raschke: Seen the local people that you’re working with.
Hougham: And are those verbal agreements or are they formalized contractual agreements
between?
Tim Vossberg: Most of them have memorandums of understanding with legal documentation
and I’m very familiar with that process as well and those documents.
Scharfenberg: So I want to say thank you to the group and Russ and Tim for coming out tonight
for your presentation. Very informative. I think I probably speak for the commission, maybe
not everybody but I think we all agree that this is something that we would like to see happen but
I think on some level since the majority of this falls within Chaska I think we want to maybe
wait and see what their, how you get a response from them first so I would say probably continue
to work with Chaska on this and follow up with staff in keeping us apprised of kind of what your
situation is with the City of Chaska. I think that’s probably the best situation going forward.
Russ Raschke: Sure, and Todd you’re familiar with the Chaska parks director right? Any
discussions with them or anything from your side to help motivate that would obviously be
greatly appreciated from our group as well.
Hoffman: You bet. Marshall is brand new to Chaska and we’ve met him as a Southwest
professional group and so when you met with him he brought in Mr. Podhradsky, the City
Manager and then the gentleman from public works just for some more background and so the
LUP needs to be signed by a government agency. That’s probably going to be the City of
Chaska or the City of Chanhassen. In this case the park where the bathrooms would be is the
City of Chaska facility. The school is in Chaska where the parking would be and you know at
least two-thirds of the trails would be in Chaska so the likely candidate to sign that and to usher
into that agreement would be Chaska and so you have this portion that’s in Chanhassen right up
in this area. If Chaska’s comfortable managing that as a part of their agreement with this group
through a Memorandum of Understanding then they’re comfortable with it. The City of
Chanhassen would not have to get involved. In some instances the State of Minnesota may say
hey, we want a limited use permit authorization from all cities. In this case apparently that’s not
the circumstance. They’re comfortable with either entity signing it and so if Chaska’s
comfortable moving forward, you know it gets a little bit complex. If this was a much larger
plan where there was lots of land in both cities then obviously everybody would have to be
involved but to involve two cities and then a volunteer organization or association would just
actually make it more complex. If there’s funding that comes to bear and Chaska says you know
what, that’s going to cost $15,000 or $25,000 to build those trails. We want some money from
you. Then that’s a question for the future.
Tim Vossberg: Can I just add in too that, so realize this piece of land that we have showed trails
on, okay as Russ kind of pointed this is just you know two of the pieces of land okay that we’re
interested in and Russ was very good to point out that that central piece, thank you Russ. There
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
11
is probably the best piece in a lot of way and like Russ said because of no neighbors. It’s
surrounded by roads. Realize that there’s other pieces right in this very area you know on all
directions that are potentially exclusively in Chanhassen or exclusively in Chaska too just so.
Scharfenberg: Yeah, continue the good efforts. Hopefully this is something that will go
forward. Thanks.
Tim Vossberg: Thanks.
Russ Raschke: Again anything that you can do from your side to help expedite it would be
appreciated.
Scharfenberg: Okay, thank you.
Russ Raschke: Thank you guys.
Hougham: Thank you.
Russ Raschke: Have a good night, yep.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Boettcher moved, Petouvis seconded to approve the Minutes
of the Park and Recreation Commission meeting dated February 27, 2018 as presented. All
voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
RECOMMEND AWARD OF LOW QUOTES, PICNIC SHELTER CONCRETE AND
MANCHESTER PARK CONCRETE.
Beers: Thank you Chair Scharfenberg and commissioners. We’re well on our way to moving
into spring and kind of taking the next steps with our park shelter initiative and Manchester Park
so earlier on February 26th you guys approved, or it was approved from the council that we could
move ahead with the purchase of the shelters so this is just the associated costs that are going to
go with the project to approve the concrete work at Manchester and the two park locations,
Prairie Knoll and Sunset Ridge for the shelter concrete.
Scharfenberg: Okay, any questions for Adam? If not can I get a motion?
Petouvis: I will give you the motion. The Park and Rec Commission recommends the City
Council award the low quote to Theis Construction in the amount of $61,392 for concrete work
at Prairie Knoll Park, Sunset Ridge Park and Manchester Park.
Scharfenberg: We have a motion from Commissioner Petouvis. Do we have a second?
Boettcher: Second.
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
12
Scharfenberg: Second from Commissioner Boettcher.
Petouvis moved, Boettcher seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission
recommends the City Council award the low quote to Theis Construction in the amount of
$61,392 for concrete work at Prairie Knoll Park, Sunset Ridge Park and Manchester Park.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
RECOMMEND MANCHESTER PARK PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT SELECTION.
Scharfenberg: I think Jerry’s on this one, right?
Beers: I think I’m on this one as well.
Scharfenberg: Adam’s on that one as well, sorry.
Beers: No problem. So earlier tonight we had a selection committee and the commissioners
were able to look at all 3 different design options from 3 different manufacturers and an
anonymous vote was taken. If you guys would like to make a motion based on what was decided
earlier that would be great.
Scharfenberg: Okay. Yeah we did, 4 of the commissioners were present tonight to review the 3
different proposals for Manchester Park. There was a wide ranging, 3 different unique kind of
setups and we voted in favor of one of them and I think Commissioner Hougham is going to
make a motion.
Hougham: Yep I make a motion that the Park and Rec Commission recommends the City
Council award the Manchester Park playground structure to Northland Recreation.
Scharfenberg: Alright, we have a motion. Do we have a second?
Petouvis: Second.
Scharfenberg: We have a second from Commissioner Petouvis.
Hougham moved, Petouvis seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission
recommends the City Council award the Manchester Park playground structure to
Northland Recreation. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote
of 5 to 0.
Scharfenberg: That motion passes so Adam I’m assuming you’ll let Northland Rec know and it
will get commenced on that I believe after the water plan is finished right? Then they’ll start in
on that phase.
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
13
Beers: Correct. Well so we’ll take this to the council.
Scharfenberg: Right.
Beers: And get final approval and then I think we just got a construction update for sometime in
mid-June so we’ll probably get on site around then too.
Scharfenberg: Okay.
Hoffman: So the park site looks exactly, you saw it last fall I believe you were out there. It
hasn’t changed at all until they get completed with the water treatment plant then they’ll start
finishing up the exterior improvements.
Scharfenberg: Okay, thank you Adam.
Beers: Yep.
RECEIVE 2017 PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT.
Scharfenberg: That is Jerry.
Ruegemer: Thank you Chair Scharfenberg. Good evening Chair Scharfenberg and the rest of
the Commissioners. It’s an exciting time here as our staff recently completed the 2017 Park and
Recreation Annual Report. A lot of work goes into that exercise with participation from all
divisions within our department with that so everybody received one of the copies here tonight.
We’re not going to go page for page but just hit on some highlights of that. So just some of the
highlights from 2017. The Senior Center, you can see how many people over 5,500 people
attended weekly and monthly activities and clubs. Sue does a great job down in the lower level
of the Senior Center down here. Very popular programs. There’s always waiting lists for people
and she does a great job with that. Lots of trips and special events. Sue’s Passport to the World
program has been extremely popular since 2009 so up to looks like over 22 countries now with
over 1,100 people attending those programs so it’s been a great program that Sue developed. The
Chan Rec Center, we can kind of see how many hours of non-billable hours. That is School
District recreation programs. Community meetings. Those sorts of things. How many hours per
year that we have out there. You can see the total number of rec sports participants of over 1,100
that participate in our programs. The Dance for Fun program is our largest program out at the
Rec Center with over 800 people participating in that. You know not new, not so anymore but
the Chanhassen Recreation Center sports program has been a program that’s been around for a
while and we’ve offered 65 sessions last year with over 1,100 kids participating. More to the
youth programs now. We have over 250 programs that we sponsor and organize annually with
over 3,000 participants ranging anywhere from birth to age 17 for our programs. The Summer
Discovery Playground Program is really one of our most popular programs that Katie organizes
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
14
and supervises with that so we’re 30 sessions with 503 participants in 2017 so. The Teen
Volunteer program, Katie and our summer intern supervise that program. It’s in it’s fifth year so
we really kind of the thought behind that programs is really to give teenagers kind of that maybe
they’re too young to work. We actually try to give them some work skills to come out and
volunteer and maybe clean up graffiti. They may be doing service programs. Helping out with
our programs. Senior activities. Community events, that sort of thing here too so we really try
to get them involved. Give them a sense of community. Their parents are extremely pleased.
Gets them out of the house and give them some practical experience and work on their kind of
social skills as well so it’s been a very popular program with that so. Adam and his crew work
with Katie on developing programs and projects for that so it’s been a great program over 200
hours, 280 hours of volunteerism last year.
Scharfenberg: Can I interrupt you for a moment?
Ruegemer: Sure.
Scharfenberg: So I don’t know if that’s the first that I guess I’ve ever heard of that program and
do we do enough to advertise that? I mean how do we advertise it?
Ruegemer: Well obviously we don’t but yeah.
Scharfenberg: So 14 people, I mean that’s a number but I’m assuming maybe you’d like to grow
that number.
Ruegemer: Absolutely.
Scharfenberg: But I guess that’s the first that I knew about that.
Ruegemer: Yeah it’s the annual Connection, website, those sorts of things here too but
obviously we can ramp up that effort to get the word out more.
Scharfenberg: Okay.
Ruegemer: Thank you. Adaptive recreation. Last year we had 37 participants. As you know
we do contract that service out there. Reach for Resources. They’re really our go to people to
help out our residents that with disabilities really to be involved in our programs on all levels so
we welcome and really think it’s a great relationship and a great contract situation with them so
you can see we served over 37 participants last year with a total of over 206 hours of time. Adult
athletics. We had over 30 softball teams last year with 450 individuals participating and that was
for the summer and fall programs with that. Community events, that certainly is really one of
our major areas of I think expertise. Our community certainly enjoys the effort that we put forth
really as a sense of community bringing people together with that. People, we hear many
comments on that, with that so we estimate well over 70,000 people participate in some form of
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
15
you know the 4th of July parade, the street dance, Easter Egg Candy Hunt, Halloween parties,
those sorts of things here too so we’re very proud of our tradition. Katie mentioned this year that
we’re in our 35th annual Easter Egg candy hunt so a lot of our community events are in that you
know 30-35 plus year range with that so it’s been really a multi-generational event now for
people so we’re very proud of that and really always look for new ways to improve and give
everybody a great experience for that. Facilities. We have really great outdoor facilities I would
say with the mountain biker who appeared tonight. You know that’s another facet of an area that
we certainly have a lot of natural beauty around here. People want to get outdoors. We do that a
lot with our swimming beaches, skating rinks, picnic areas with that so we estimated over 51,000
people we served last year in those capacities at the skate park. Skating rinks, picnics, that sort
of thing here too so we certainly are blessed with natural amenities that people really take full
advantage of within our community. Park maintenance. Adam and his crew do a great job with
maintaining all of our areas, you know from downtown area to Lake Ann Park. Our community
parks. Our nature preserves so we maintain over 500 acres of natural preserve land and 400
acres of developed parkland so there’s a lot that goes into that on a daily basis and we thank
Adam and crew for all their hard work with that. Park improvements is always great on an
annual basis. We really seem to be keeping up and trying to keep up with our neighborhood
shelters. That initiative was really to get a shelter in every park and we’re just about there with
that so we added neighborhood shelters in Greenwood Shores Park last year and Carver Beach
Playground. With the help of CAA and the Dugout Club dugouts were added at Lake Susan
baseball field and Lake Susan Park. We certainly added then the pickleball courts and a tennis
court out at Roundhouse Park last year as well so those areas are busy with our residents and
people having fun. Partnerships. It certainly is important for us to have partnerships. Really our
community members and community organizations bring a lot to our events and programs with
that so last year we had over 83 partnerships across all of our divisions from park maintenance to
senior center, Rec Center, recreation programs, so we have really a lot of buy in with our
community members who are very proud of that and we continue to foster and grow that as the
partnership as much as we can with that so. Capital projects. You guys are very in tune with
that on an annual basis. There’s a lot of thought that goes into prioritizing the capital
improvement program so last year we had 6 projects and items ranging from $10,000 to
$600,000 with over a million dollars total in that so. Our staff is very proud of the annual report.
There’s a lot of work that goes into that. I think our community is really I guess excited about
the annual report as well so we have referenced it as a staff all the time. It’s certainly on our web
page for all to see so at this point I would entertain any questions or comments.
Scharfenberg: Any questions for Jerry?
Boettcher: This isn’t really that much but I just see this under the park improvements, on aquatic
vegetation about treatments at Lake Minnewashta. Do we do anything as a City there with that
being a County park? Because in the County park commission we always talk about treatment. I
didn’t know if that was just an add because it’s in the city limits.
Hoffman: That’s at the Roundhouse beach.
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
16
Boettcher: Oh that’s Roundhouse, okay.
Hoffman: Yep, aquatic vegetation treatment to Lake Ann Park, Lotus Lake and Lake
Minnewashta were treated at the swimming areas so that’s at the Roundhouse location.
Boettcher: Okay.
Scharfenberg: Anything else for Jerry? Jerry again a very nicely done summary of all of that
you guys do on a regular basis and I like the numbers. I think that’s easy to really see when you
put numbers and how many people we’re reaching on a regular basis through our programs so do
we need a motion to submit this to the council?
Hoffman: So the mechanics of this is by the City Code it’s the commission’s job to create and
deliver this document to the City Council. So you would approve it and make a recommendation
that it be delivered to the Chanhassen City Council for 2017.
Scharfenberg: Okay, can we get a motion?
Boettcher: I’d like to make a motion that we approve the report as written to present to City
Council.
Scharfenberg: Do we have a second?
Petouvis: Second.
Scharfenberg: We have a motion from Commissioner Boettcher and a second from
Commissioner Petouvis to approve and send this annual report to council.
Boettcher moved, Petouvis seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission approve
the 2017 Park and Recreation Department Annual Report and send it to City Council. All
voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
Scharfenberg: Thank you Jerry.
Ruegemer: Thank you.
REPORTS:
2017/18 ICE RINK SEASON EVALUATION.
Matthews: Thank you Chair Scharfenberg and commission. This year’s ice skating season ran
from December 22, 2017 to March 1, 2018. During the season the warming houses were open
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
17
for 61 days and closed 9 due to either high temperatures that made the ice soft and unskateable or
low temperatures where it was too cold to send warming house attendants out there. Like
negative 15 below zero. Roughly around 6,000 participants were recorded during the supervised
hours. Warming houses were available at City Center Park, North Lotus Park, Chanhassen Rec
Center, Roundhouse Park and Bandimere Park. The warming house at Roundhouse Park is
staffed on reduced hours to only weekends and select holidays. Warming house trailers were
rented from On Space for North Lotus, City Center Park, and Bandimere Park. Inside these
trailers there’s a big open area and then a smaller office area and we keep the office area open.
A lot of times we use that area for hockey bags. If we get teams that come in there we like to try
to put their bags in there because then they’re just out of the way in case there’s other people
who want to come in and maybe use the open skating rink. So there was a total of 23 rink
attendants hired on a part time seasonal basis to staff the warming houses. The skating rink
wages were $17,000 with a total of 1,741 hours worked so we were open quite a lot and that’s
good. As you can see the Rec Center seems to be the most popular one. They have the double
hockey rinks and the open rink so that’s really nice because you can have a hockey team skating
there and then still have pick up games going on on the other rink. We do allocate time to the
surrounding areas. I think it’s just Chan/Chaska hockey association and then the Minnetonka
hockey association. They come in during the week Monday through Thursday. I believe I want
to say 5:00 to 7:00. 5:30-7:00. 5:30-7:30 so that gives people time before to skate and after to
skate when the hockey teams are there. Does anybody have any questions?
Scharfenberg: Any questions for Katie?
Boettcher: This is just for curiosity. You said 16 below is when you close it or?
Matthews: Negative 15 yeah. With the wind chill.
Boettcher: No wonder I don’t do that anymore. Thank you.
Matthews: No problem.
Petouvis: Not a question just a comment or a thank you from my little corner of Chanhassen that
the City continues to flood and maintain the Roundhouse rink. I know it’s got piddley little
numbers compared to everybody else but pretty much every time I drive by, unless it’s crazy
cold like that there’s somebody. You know somebody with their 2 year old skating around so it
is a lightly used but much appreciated rink so thank you.
Scharfenberg: Yep and thanks to Adam and his staff for all the flooding that they did those
nights and getting everything prepped so good. Thank you Katie. You’re up next on the Easter
Egg.
Hoffman: Really great to note that Bandimere, so it was a brand new facility that you invested
cash in recently. That it came in with the second highest or at least very equivalent to City
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018

Center Park and North Lotus so it was a new facility. They took to that location and they’re
using it.
Tsuchiya: Yeah I’ll speak to that. I mean I live over there and I’m in there a couple of times
with my kids so it was a really great place. Nice to walk to. Haul a sled. It was pretty good.
Yeah. Pulled a sled with the kids. We were tired on the way over and I’m really tired on the
way back so.
Hoffman: Thank you.
2018 EASTER EGG CANDY HUNT PREVIEW.
Matthews: Sounds good. I will touch base on the Easter Egg hunt again. It is the 35th Annual
Easter Egg Candy Hunt that’s going to be held on this Saturday, March 31st. Rain, snow, wind
or shine, however the weather is we will be there. This is our second community event of the
year and it is open for ages, children 12 and under. We also, in addition to the Easter Egg Candy
Hunt each participant will receive a special bag with a few small goodies and a place to store all
their eggs and candy and a door prize enters them in a door prize drawing. The drawings include
several prizes provided by local businesses in the community event sponsorship program. So
this year there’s Chick-fil-A, Papa Johns, Pizzaioli and the Chanhassen Dinner Theaters. We
also have a coloring contest that will continue to be a part of this event. This is a huge, people
love this and it’s really great getting all the entries and seeing all the kids hard work. Those
prizes are donated by ABC Toy Zone and people can bring their coloring sheet either to the
event so they can drop it off either at the Rec Center or City Hall. And then there was just a flyer
in the March 22nd edition of the Chanhassen Villager and there’s also flyers available on the City
website and at the Chan Rec Center.
Scharfenberg: Any questions for Katie? I was going to say maybe you should have kept the
warming houses there.
Matthews: I know.
Tsuchiya: I haven’t looked. What’s the hunting area conditions right now?
Matthews: Hunting area? Oh good. Good.
Tsuchiya: Good. However?
Matthews: Yeah they’re going to be up on top.
Hoffman: Firm, dry and icy.
Matthews: Welcome to Minnesota right.

Tsuchiya: How many changes of clothes should I bring for my kids?
Matthews: Yeah, swap out your rain boots for your winter boots and we’ll be good.
Tsuchiya: Daddy I can’t move.
Hoffman: It will slow down the time that it takes to accumulate they’ll be so bundled up.
Scharfenberg: Thanks Katie.
Matthews: Thank you guys.
REC CENTER QUARTERLY UPDATE.
Scharfenberg: Jodi, you’re up next.
Sarles: Thank you Commissioners, Chair Scharfenberg. We’ve been as usual busy out at the
Rec Center. A few tidbits we put down here. Facility usage. This year our gym hours are being
used by the West Metro Warriors which is a Special Olympics basketball group. Typically their
season has run January through March. This year their state tournament isn’t until June and
that’s why you see a significant increase of those hours on Friday nights. It’s a great group that
comes out. They do a good job and so we just worked with them this year and said you know
next year we’ll have to probably figure out your season a little bit earlier once you’re out of,
once it’s started here. Little bit of news here on the Rec Center. The gym is going to be closed
this summer from July 23rd through September 3rd. A full sanding of the floor so we’re going to
go through all the lines that are in there right now. Then re-line and re-finish it again and that’s
going to take that entire time. The new, kind of the school district kind of put into place a new
policy and they would like to see the gym floors redone every 12 years and our’s has never been
refinished since we opened so, other than the annual just working on the topcoat so not really
excited about that but good, it will be nice because they’ll be able to update the lines for the
things that we use like pickleball. We won’t have to have everybody out there with the tape
every fall so, so that will be nice. A few, one new program we kind of started this year was
called the Super Hero Party. We did that with Victoria Rec Center. We partner with the
Barnyard Boogie now with Victoria and so then we set up one to be at their Rec Center and one
to be at our’s. It worked out. It was really successful. It was very fun. All sorts of little kids in
their Super Hero costumes out at the Victoria Rec Center. We had a bounce house. Snacks.
Crafts and a dance so that was fun. I think we had 140 people that attended so it was great for
our first event together out there. Let’s see Dance for Fun is still rolling along here. We’re now
coming up on their second competition of the season. They did very well in their first one. A
few of the groups got high marks. They use different kind of scoring systems in dance so that’s
good to see. We have May 12th will be our spring recital at the Chan High School. If anybody
would like to come feel free. Let me know. I’ll get you in. I know somebody. Fit for Life,
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
20
that’s a fun fitness class that we have for our seniors there. It’s very popular and so right now
you see we only have, I think we have 12 registered for this session. That’s our snowbird
session so it goes down a little bit but our daily or drop in’s pick up during the winter so they
come and go as they can so it’s fun and it’s a real supportive group of people too so that’s neat to
see. And today this made it in the report but the Grandparent and Me Eggstravaganza. Sue and I
have been doing this for 9 years now so we did it today. We had 11 little ones there with their
grandparents. We dyed Easter Eggs. We frosted cookies. We made a bunny mask today so it
was very fun. Good day for the kids and the grandparents together. Rec Center Sports is another
good program over there at the Rec Center. Small Fry Sports is our youngest group that we
have. Right now we’ve held 8 sessions with 85 participants. Our upcoming kind of the fun one
that our staff really likes now is called Super Heroes in Training so they do little like crossfit
type stations and do a little bit of tumbling and then jumping and running and all the fun things
that make them a Super Hero so that’s coming up here. Lil’ Star Sports is for a little bit older, 4
to 6 and right we just finished basketball with 58 kids and we’re now working on spring soccer
and summer T-ball so already thinking about T-ball again. I feel like we’re always thinking
about T-ball. And then After School Sports, we’ve had 2 sessions of volleyball and one Workout
Warriors. We kind of tweaked it a little bit this year and we’ve had some more success getting
the kids out there after school so very positive. And then up here, a few upcoming events. So
invite, you’re invited and your neighbors or whoever you know here to come to try a free trial
class of the Fit for Life. We also have one for Zumba and then of course like we said the Dance
for Fun spring recital here is coming up. With that if anybody has any questions.
Scharfenberg: Anybody have any questions for Jodi?
Sarles: And additional Tot Time. We’ll work on that too.
Scharfenberg: Thank you Jodi.
Hougham: Oh sorry. I do have a question. How do you pick the date for the grandparent and
child? Like do you try to do it over like spring break?
Sarles: We try to do it on a day that possibly more grandparents would be the kids so it’s usually
a day where they’re out of school or have a break. We do, we try to do one around Halloween
that we do one and then another here in the spring so.
Hougham: Thanks.
Sarles: Yeah.
Hougham: And I have a Queen Elza who is looking to sign up for Super Hero Training.
Sarles: Excellent. Alright.
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
21
Hougham: We’ll get in touch.
Sarles: We’ll get her trained well.
Scharfenberg: Thanks Jodi.
SENIOR CENTER QUARTERLY UPDATE.
Scharfenberg: Alright Susan.
Bill: Thank you commissioners. As always life is busy in the Senior Center. We’re starting to
get a few more snowbirds coming back. I don’t know why they’re coming back so early. I think
they thought the outcome would have been a little better. But I’m just going to focus on a couple
things. BMO Bank, it will be the second year they’ll be sponsoring some of our Lifelong
Learning programs and this year I set up a theme, 3 Minnesota History programs. First one will
be, there’s a gentlemen who teaches at Concordia College who wrote a book on the fascinating
history of Lake Minnetonka so he’ll speak on that and that will be in May. Then we have a
program in June about a, someone from the National Minnesota Registry will be doing a
program on the State Capitol from the groundbreaking to the, whatever million dollar renovation.
That will be in June and then we also have another program in that series on Minnesota bridges
and so there’ll be involved in every one of those programs and send a representative and we’ll be
talking about some of their services and then in the fall they will offer a financial seminar so
we’re excited to have BMO Bank for the second year. First couple months of the year, I don’t
know if you heard that, I think it was in November-December Powers Ridge opened their new
senior building. I’ve had a slew of people new, people moving into the area from that building
as well as the last couple weeks really. People are moving into not only the condos but the
apartments there. I bet I’ve gotten 10 plus couples that have come in to hear about activities at
the Senior Center. I was going to go over and talk to the new building but they’re in a transition
with their coordinator so when the new coordinator comes back I’ll go over and bring some
information to them. As Jodi mentioned we have a partnership with Victoria as well. In 2017 I
started a partnership with them for some of our day trips that I knew would be more popular that
we’d be taking 2 buses for. That worked out really well last year and we’ll be continuing with
that partnership again in 2018. Act on Alzheimers, I’ve talked about it before. There’s quite a
momentum with the community wanting to hear about more Alzheimers related programs and
I’ve got 3 programs, or the team has 3 programs planned for next couple months. In April we’ve
got one called Understanding and Responding to Dementia Related Behaviors. Then we’ve got a
dietician from Ridgeview coming to our next Lunch and Learn program called Mind Diet. They
worked with another place. Ridgeview, I can’t remember where, developing a mind diet which
is a Mediterranean based diet which promotes healthy eating to increase brain activity to
hopefully slow down the signs of dementia. We also have a dementia friends training coming up
and starting, it started in, February of 2018. We are now hosting a caregivers support group the
first Tuesday of the month. Then the only other thing I want to mention, in one of the
attachments we are going to be a pilot for a new program called Smart Driver TEK sponsored by
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
22
AARP and we’re going to pilot 3 of them that will be offered for free. Smart Driver TEK is
basically talking about all the features. The smart features coming out on new cars to help
drivers, the driver experience more safe so I think we’ll have one of those in June, July and
August so those will be free so if you’re thinking of buying a new car and want to know what all
the new equipment is you might to come and hear about it. So thank you.
Scharfenberg: Jim wanted me to ask if you’re taking pie orders when you go to Norski Nook.
Bill: We do worry about that. Jim here’s a question for you. You know I lived in LaCrosse
before I lived here. Gone in that direction. Do you know what the most popular pie that they
serve at the Norski Nook is?
Boettcher: I’m German, I don’t know what those Norwegians eat.
Bill: Oh, sour cream raisin. Anyway we probably could bring a slice or two back.
Scharfenberg: Some cranberries for Warren. Yeah. Okay, thank you Susan.
PARK MAINTENANCE QUARTERLY UPDATE.
Scharfenberg: Adam.
Beers: Again thank you Chair Scharfenberg and commissioners. Just a quick update for what
park maintenance has been working on. Obviously we’re preparing for spring so staff has been
pretty busy going through pickleball nets and tennis nets and batting cage nets and kind of just
getting ready to hit the ground running with baseball. I think am I right, we have something
scheduled on the 3rd.
Ruegemer: Yeah, they won’t be there though.
Beers: It will be rescheduled. So a lot going on. Each spring we work with STS. They come
out and help us do some mulching and just kind of prepping the City Hall and Library area so big
thanks to those guys. All of our plant material’s been ordered for our 78th landscape beds so
we’ll be taking delivery here in a few weeks. Closer to a month. Katie kind of touched on the
skating rinks. We talked about picnic shelters and I guess the big thing that’s been going on this
last week is the LED light installation at Lake Susan Park. Obviously I wrote this report a little
while ago but we were able to take delivery much sooner than we anticipated so work is already
started. The holes have been augered. The footings have been installed and I’m crossing my
fingers everything goes well with the weather. We’re going to be standing up the poles this
Thursday so a lot going on at Lake Susan. A lot going on in park maintenance as we prepare for
the spring so that’s kind of where we’ll be and what we’ll be working on.
Scharfenberg: Alright, any questions for Adam?
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
23
Hougham: I have a question for Jerry, sorry. But it’s just related to the lighting. With the light
installations are we seeing that get filled up for evening times when the lights would be in use?
Ruegemer: We definitely are seeing that. I’m having daily conversations with all the field
schedulers on that so both the Minnetonka and the CAA will be scheduling multiple games on
their assigned nights. We’re going to be playing at least 5 Chanhassen Junior Legion baseball
games out there this year that will utilize the lights. When we had conflicts at the baseball
stadium at Chan High so yes, we are, they would like to get going in 2 weeks with double header
games but we’re going to kind of let the project kind of play out and get it finished here before
we get people out there so yes we are scheduling for that.
Hougham: Great. Great to hear it.
Tsuchiya: Jerry how late would they go?
Ruegemer: No later than 10:00.
Tsuchiya: Finished at 10:00.
Ruegemer: You’ve got to be done, out the door so probably 9:30ish is when they’re going to be
finishing up. Quarter to 10:00.
Tsuchiya: How are, are the lights on a timer? Is there a switch or how does that operate out
there?
Ruegemer: They’ll be on a timer.
Tsuchiya: Okay.
Scharfenberg: And have we heard anything from the people in the neighborhood who live
behind there who obviously came forward with an archery range. Have they said anything in
regards to the lights then?
Hoffman: No.
Scharfenberg: Okay.
Hoffman: And with the, yeah the project has been well publicized. We haven’t heard a thing.
Once they’re in place they’re not going to have any spillover lights. You’ll be able to look out
your patio window and see them but you’re not going to have any illumination at your house.
Scharfenberg: Alright, okay. Thank you Adam.
Park and Recreation Commission – March 27, 2018
24
Beers: Yes.
DISCUSSION POINTS FOR JOINT MEETING WITH CITY COUNCIL.
Scharfenberg: Next was the item I added. Discussion points with our upcoming meeting again.
We’ll be meeting with the council on April the 9th. As Todd pointed out the Senior Commission
and Environmental Commission are ahead of this that evening. So I’m assuming that we’ll go
on potentially at like 6:30 or 6:40 or somewhere in that neighborhood but.
Hoffman: It could be as early as 6:00 if they’re on time. It could be.
Scharfenberg: So anybody have anything that they would, and again we don’t need to, if you
just want to take this and look at it and we can, if you have any other comments after tonight but
these were the items I think we raised at the February meeting for discussion. If not we’ll just
move forward with our meeting on the 9th and hopefully a good discussion with them about these
topics.
Boettcher: We won’t have any kind of a pre-meeting that evening? 15 minutes or not. Just get
everybody’s ducks in a row. Is that necessary or just?
Scharfenberg: I don’t know that it’s necessary but if we’re there ahead of time we can certainly
talk.
Hoffman: Sit in the Senior Center.
Scharfenberg: Yeah, okay.
COMMISSION MEMBER COMMITTEE REPORTS. None.
COMMISSION MEMBER PRESENTATIONS.
Scharfenberg: Any other discussions anyone wants to talk about? I would just like to say a
thank you to Jennifer. It’s her last meeting tonight and all of the excellent work that she did as a
commissioner. I hope that you continue to be involved with the community. I know that you
will and I thank you for all of the work and getting to know you and your friendship and that and
also would like to thank Lauren. It’s her last night as well and Lauren’s not here tonight but
thank you to Lauren Dale for her work as well. Anybody else have anything to say?
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS. None.

had passed on March 30, 2018. The next deadline is April 13 for a May 15th Planning
Commission meeting.
John Tietz asked for status of Avienda project.
Vanessa Strong responded that they were working on stromwater plan and that watershed had
significant concerns with the submitted materials. Explained that they would need to meet both
City and Watershed requirements.
John Tietz expressed concern that evolving plan may lead to something very different than
initially envisioned. Bob Generous clarified that those concerns can be addressed when they
come in for a PUD amendment and right not they are just working on getting a grading permit.
Nancy Madsen asked for confirmation that the city had found a potential project for Avienda’s
stormwater dedication.
Vanessa Strong indicated that City was looking to use those funds along with several other
funding sources to acquire properties along pioneer trail and restore the function of wetland near
the intersection of Pioneer Trail and Great Plains.

over a 2 to 3-year period.

brewery/distillery in the City, but the current ordinance does not allow them to locate in

could negotiate with the watershed districts for approval.
The commissioners asked her to expand upon the City’s efforts to create a uniform regulatory
scheme for all properties in the City. She discussed the need to adopt the most restrictive
standard and how variances could potentially work in that situation.

management system. She highlighted ongoing maintenance and non-conforming treatment
systems as significant concerns, and engaged and knowledgeable staff and residents as a
significant asset.

Subject Resolution 201830: Proclaiming May 5 as Arbor Day
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: E.4.
Prepared By Jill Sinclair, Environmental Resource
Specialist
File No:
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council adopts a resolution proclaiming Chanhassen Arbor Day as May 5, 2018, and the month of May
as Arbor Month."
Council approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
Chanhassen’s Arbor Day celebration will be held on Saturday, May 5 this year at Power Hill Park. In honor of the
day, 20 trees will be planted in the park. These plantings will help create more canopy cover in the park and diversify
the tree species present. Many of the park trees are in fair condition. Planting a mix of species in the park will help to
alleviate the eventual change to the park trees.
Arbor Day plantings will be done by community volunteers from neighborhoods, families, scout troops, local churches,
and businesses. The event will begin at 9:00 am with a welcome gathering of volunteers at the parking lot and
progress into the tree planting work. There will be refreshments, free seedlings, and tree coupons for the volunteers.
The event will be held rain or shine and we are asking that groups dress for the work and weather and bring a shovel
or two to help.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution proclaiming Chanhassen Arbor Day as May 5,
2018 and May as Arbor Month.

Subject Approve Agreement with Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District for Water Reuse at
Lake Susan Park Ball Field
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: E.6.
Prepared By Paul Oehme, Director of Public
Works/City Engineer
File No: SWMP33C
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council approves a Cooperative Agreement with the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District
(RPBCWD) for Lake Susan Park Pond Watershed Treatment and Stormwater Reuse Project."
Council approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
As part of the city's stormwater management plan, the city has been working with the RPBCWD to improve the water
quality of Lake Susan. Excessive nutrient loading has been identified as an ongoing problem. In 2010, the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency designated Lake Susan as impaired for aquatic recreation because of excessive nutrients in
the lake.
The RPBCWD prepared a feasibility report in March 2017 to assess options to further reduce phosphorus loading to
and improve water quality in Lake Susan. This report determined the construction of an ironenhanced sand filter
bench at the pond at the corner of Powers Boulevard and Lake Drive, and a reuse system from the same pond to
irrigate the Lake Susan ball field would reduce loading of total phosphorus to Lake Susan by 32 pounds per year. This
reduction will go a long way to meeting the city's Minnesota Pollution Control Agency MS4 permit requirements. The
Lake Susan ball field can use 500,000 gallons of water annually for irrigation. The pond is very large and is estimated
to function adequately for a reuse system. The system will be equipped with an ultra violet (UV) system for
disinfection. The system will still have the option to convert back to city water if necessary.
The project will increase public awareness of stormwater reuse and groundwater conservation and will decrease the
draw on the underlying aquifer for irrigation.
The city would be responsible for the operations and maintenance of the water reuse system for the Lake Susan ball
field. The iron filter bench is estimated to have a life expectancy of 15 years. The Watershed District would be
responsible for the purchase of the filter media. City forces would be responsible for labor to replace the material.
The RPBCWD solicited bids for the project. Three bids were received:
1. G.F. Jedlicki, Inc. $652,667

The Watershed District would beresponsible for the purchase of the filter media. City forces would be responsible for labor to replace the material. The RPBCWD solicited bids for the project. Three bids were received:
1. G.F. Jedlicki, Inc. $652,667
2. Urban Companies $579,355
3. Peterson Companies $467,491
The bids did come in over the Engineer' Estimate. Peterson Companies has installed many water reuse systems in the
metro area. Their work has been acceptable. They are currently working on the Chanhassen High School water reuse
project.
The RPBCWD has secured a $233,400 Clean Water, Land and Legacy grant from the State of Minnesota.
Financing for the project is proposed as follows:
State Grant Funds $233,400
RPBCWD Funds $135,000
City Funds $ 99,091
City funding was budgeted in the 2018 CIP, SWMP052 and split Surface Water and Water Utility funds. The
Surface Water Utility fund is proposed to fund $30,000 and the Water Utility Fund is proposed to fund $64,091.
RPBCWD is paying for the engineering and indirect cost of the project.
Grant funds are only available in 2018.
The city attorney has reviewed the cooperative agreement.

PROPOSED MOTION
“The Chanhassen City Council approves the final plat to replat Outlot E, Mission Hills into Lot 1, Block 1, Mission
Hills 3rd Addition, replatting 8.64 Acres into one lot as shown in plans received April 10, 2018, subject to the
conditions of approval in the staff report; and
The Chanhassen City Council grants approval of the development contract for Mission Hills 3rd Addition."
Council approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
On February 12, 2018, the Chanhassen City Council adopted the following motion:
“The Chanhassen City Council grants approval of the final plat for Mission Hills 3rd Addition as shown in plans dated
December 22, 2017 subject to the conditions of approval in the staff report; and
The Chanhassen City Council grants approval of the development contract for Mission Hills 3rd Addition; and
The Chanhassen City Council grants approval of the construction plans for Mission Hills 3 rd Addition.”
DISCUSSION
The final plat of Mission Hills 3rd Addition approved on February 12, 2018 contained public drainage and utility
easements over the proposed private stormwater systems. Staff is concerned that the public drainage and utility
easements cloud the issue of ownership and maintenance concerning the proposed stormwater system for this
development. The proposed system is extensive, including five biofiltration basins across the property. It is important
to clarify that the city does not have ownership or maintenance responsibilities over these private stormwater features.
The applicant has submitted a revised final plat for Mission Hills 3rd Addition, removing the public drainage and utility
easements located over the proposed stormwater system. The removal of these easements is anticipated to clear up
future questions about ownership of the proposed stormwater system.
The city will have rights to enter the property and inspect these stormwater systems, similar to the drainage and utility

3. Preliminary Plat Status. If the plat is a phase of a multi-phased preliminary plat, the
preliminary plat approval for all phases not final platted shall lapse and be void unless final platted
into lots and blocks, not outlots, within two (2) years after preliminary plat approval.
4. Changes in Official Controls. For two (2) years from the date of this Contract, no
amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan, except an amendment placing the plat in the current
urban service area, or official controls shall apply to or affect the use, development density, lot size,
lot layout or dedications of the approved plat unless required by state or federal law or agreed to in
writing by the City and the Developer. Thereafter, notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the
contrary, to the full extent permitted by state law the City may require compliance with any
amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan, official controls, platting or dedication requirements
enacted after the date of this Contract.
5. Improvements. The improvements specified in the Special Provisions of this
Contract shall be installed in accordance with City standards, ordinances, and plans and specifications
which have been prepared and signed by a competent registered professional engineer furnished to
the City and approved by the City Engineer. The Developer shall obtain all necessary permits from
the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services and other pertinent agencies before proceeding
with construction. The City will, at the Developer's expense, have one or more construction inspectors
and a soil engineer inspect the work on a full or part-time basis. The Developer shall also provide a
qualified inspector to perform site inspections on a daily basis. Inspector qualifications shall be
submitted in writing to the City Engineer. The Developer shall instruct its project engineer/inspector
196731v2 B-2
to respond to questions from the City Inspector(s) and to make periodic site visits to satisfy that the
construction is being performed to an acceptable level of quality in accordance with the engineer's
design. The Developer or his engineer shall schedule a preconstruction meeting at a mutually
agreeable time at the City Council chambers with all parties concerned, including the City staff, to
review the program for the construction work.
6. Iron Monuments. Before the security for the completion of utilities is released, all
monuments must be correctly placed in the ground in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 505.02, Subd. 1.
The Developer's surveyor shall submit a written notice to the City certifying that the monuments have
been installed.
7. License. The Developer hereby grants the City, its agents, employees, officers and
contractors a license to enter the plat to perform all work and inspections deemed appropriate by the
City in conjunction with plat development.
8. Site Erosion and Sediment Control. Before the site is rough graded, and before any
utility construction is commenced or building permits are issued, the erosion and sediment control
plan, Plan B, shall be implemented, inspected, and approved by the City. The City may impose
additional erosion and sediment control requirements if they would be beneficial. All areas disturbed
by the excavation and backfilling operations shall be reseeded forthwith after the completion of the
work in that area. Except as otherwise provided in the erosion and sediment control plan, seed shall
be certified seed to provide a temporary ground cover as rapidly as possible. All seeded areas shall
be fertilized, mulched, and disc anchored as necessary for seed retention. The parties recognize that
time is of the essence in controlling erosion and sediment transport. If the Developer does not comply
with the erosion and sediment control plan and schedule of supplementary instructions received from
the City, the City may take such action as it deems appropriate to control erosion and sediment
transport at the Developer's expense. The City will endeavor to notify the Developer in advance of
any proposed action, but failure of the City to do so will not affect the Developer's and City's rights
or obligations hereunder. No development will be allowed and no building permits will be issued
unless the plat is in full compliance with the erosion and sediment control requirements. Erosion and
sediment control needs to be maintained until vegetative cover has been restored to 90%, even if
construction has been completed and accepted. After the site has been stabilized to where, in the
opinion of the City, there is no longer a need for erosion and sediment control, the City will authorize
the removal of the erosion and sediment control, i.e. hay bales and silt fence. The Developer shall
remove and dispose of the erosion and sediment control measures.
8a. Erosion Control During Construction of a Dwelling or Other Building. Before a
building permit is issued for construction of a dwelling or other building on a lot, a $500.00 cash
escrow or letter of credit per lot shall also be furnished to the City to guarantee compliance with City
Code § 7-22.
9. Clean up. The Developer shall maintain a neat and orderly work site and shall daily
clean, on and off site, dirt and debris, including blowables, from streets and the surrounding area that
has resulted from construction work by the Developer, its agents or assigns.
196731v2 B-3
10. Acceptance and Ownership of Improvements. Upon completion and acceptance
by the City of the work and construction required by this Contract, the improvements lying within
public easements shall become City property. After completion of the improvements, a representative
of the contractor, and a representative of the Developer's engineer will make a final inspection of the
work with the City Engineer. Before the City accepts the improvements, the City Engineer shall be
satisfied that all work is satisfactorily completed in accordance with the approved plans and
specifications and the Developer and his engineer shall submit a written statement to the City
Engineer certifying that the project has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and
specifications. The appropriate contractor waivers shall also be provided. Final acceptance of the
public improvements shall be by City Council resolution.
11. Claims. In the event that the City receives claims from laborers, materialmen, or
others that work required by this Contract has been performed, the sums due them have not been paid,
and the laborers, materialmen, or others are seeking payment out of the financial guarantees posted
with the City, and if the claims are not resolved at least ninety (90) days before the security required
by this Contract will expire, the Developer hereby authorizes the City to commence an Interpleader
action pursuant to Rule 22, Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure for the District Courts, to draw upon
the letters of credit in an amount up to 125% of the claim(s) and deposit the funds in compliance with
the Rule, and upon such deposit, the Developer shall release, discharge, and dismiss the City from
any further proceedings as it pertains to the letters of credit deposited with the District Court, except
that the Court shall retain jurisdiction to determine attorneys' fees.
12. Park Dedication. The Developer shall pay full park dedication fees in conjunction
with the installation of the plat improvements. The park dedication fees shall be the current amount
in force at the time of final platting pursuant to Chanhassen City Ordinances and City Council
resolutions.
13. Landscaping. Landscaping shall be installed in accordance with Plan D. Unless
otherwise approved by the City, trees not listed in the City’s approved tree list are prohibited. The
minimum tree size shall be two and one-half (2½) inches caliper, balled and burlapped. The trees
may not be planted in the boulevard (area between curb and property line) along public streets. In
addition to any sod required as a part of the erosion and sediment control plan, Plan B, the Developer
or lot purchaser shall sod the boulevard area and all drainage ways utilizing a minimum of six (6)
inches of topsoil as a base. Seed or sod shall also be placed on all disturbed areas of the development
utilizing a minimum of six (6) inches of topsoil as base.
A landscape security equal to the value of the landscape plus 10% will be held by the city until city
acceptance of the landscape installation. After satisfactory inspection by City staff, the landscaping
may be accepted. Upon acceptance, 10% of the landscape value will be help for one full growing
season. When final approval is given after the growing season, the remaining security will be
released.
If the requirements are not satisfied, the City may use the security to satisfy the requirements. The
City may also use the escrowed funds for maintenance of erosion control pursuant to City Code
196731v2 B-4
Section 7-22 or to satisfy any other requirements of this Contract or of City ordinances. These
requirements supplement, but do not replace, specific landscaping conditions that may have been
required by the City Council for project approval.
14. Warranty. The Developer warrants all improvements required to be constructed by
it pursuant to this Contract against poor material and faulty workmanship. The Developer shall submit
either 1) a warranty/maintenance bond for 100% of the cost of the improvement, or 2) a letter of credit
for twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the original cost of the improvements.

years from the date of final written acceptance.
C. The required warranty period for sod, trees, and landscaping is one full growing
season following acceptance by the City.
15. Lot Plans. Prior to the issuance of building permits, an acceptable Grading, Drainage,
Erosion Control including silt fences, and Tree Removal Plan shall be submitted for each lot for
review and approval by the City Engineer. Each plan shall assure that drainage is maintained away
from buildings and that tree removal is consistent with development plans and City Ordinance.
16. Existing Assessments. Any existing assessments against the plat will be re-spread
against the plat in accordance with City standards.
17. Hook-up Charges. At the time of final plat approval the Developer shall pay
30% of the City Sewer Hook-up charge and 30% of the City Water hook up charge for each lot
in the plat in the amount specified in Special Provision, Paragraph 8, of this Development
Contract. The balance of the hook-up charges is collected at the time building permits are issued
are based on 70% of the rates then in effect, unless a written request is made to assess the costs
over a four year term at the rates in effect at time of application.
18. Public Street Lighting. The Developer shall have installed and pay for public street
lights in accordance with City standards. The public street lights shall be accepted for City ownership
and maintenance at the same time that the public street is accepted for ownership and maintenance.
A plan shall be submitted for the City Engineer's approval prior to the installation. Before the City

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

Subject Resolution 201832: Approving Quote for Lake Lucy Lane Storm Sewer Improvement
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: E.9.
Prepared By Paul Oehme, Director of Public
Works/City Engineer
File No: PW437
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council approves a quote for Lake Lucy Lane Storm Sewer Improvements to Minger Construction in the
amount of $64,982.75, City Project No. PW437."
Council approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
In the fall of 2017, an old 8inch field tile failed under Lake Lucy Lane just south of Pheasant Hill Park. This tile was
the primary means of discharging surface water from the wetland on the north side of Lake Lucy Lane to the south
side. Due to failure (collapse) of this field drain tile after large rain events, Lake Lucy Road floods and has to be
pumped down. The only means of discharge currently is through infiltration and evaporation.
Staff has studied the problem and worked with the neighbors on a solution. The city also needed to work with the
Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District to obtain a permit since wetlands are adjacent to the project area. The
city enlisted the services of Wenck and Associates to work through the permit process as soon as the problem was
identified.
Staff originally envisioned just replacing the old field tile with a culvert pipe. Due to the potential wetland impacts and
hydraulic considerations, this plan was soon dismissed. After many meetings, discussions, and plan revisions, the city
was able to obtain a Watershed District permit on April 4th. The plan calls for constructing a storm sewer system with
storm sewer manholes. The design also includes many more feet of pipe than was originally planned. After receiving
the Watershed District permit, the city was able to solicit construction quotes.
On April 13th at 2:00 PM, the City received quotes as follows:
G.F. Jedlicki $98,263.50
GM Contracting $94,867.09
Minger Construction $64,982.75
Minger Construction was the low bidder. Minger Construction has worked on other city projects and their work has
been acceptable.

DISCUSSION
Fire Department Staffing
Staffing is at 39 of 45 paid oncall firefighters. One firefighter has been placed on medical leave for a nonworkplace
injury.
The current hiring process is underway with 7 applicants in attendance at the informational meeting on Tuesday, April
10th. The candidates took part in the department interviews and preplacement physical agility this past Saturday.
Successful candidates will be given conditional offers and must complete a medical physical, psychological assessment,
and criminal background check. Tentative start date will be June 4, 2018.
The probationary firefighters from last year’s group are just completing the final phases of training this month. We are
excited to get them on the line and participating with station training.
Fire Department Response
The fire department responded to 66 calls for service in March. Yeartodate calls are up 11% over last year at this
time. Duty crews responded to 11 calls in March and yeartodate a total of 31 duty crew. Significant calls included:
33 EMS calls with 4 Motor Vehicle Accidents
(3) Fire Responses
(1) Auto Aid Request to Eden Prairie (Chief 1, Engine 11)
(2) Responses to the dilapidated barn on Highway 5. The condition of the barn makes it extremely
difficult to extinguish deepseated fire within the floor spaces. We are currently working with the
property owner to take down the barn prior to grass fire season.

Fire Prevention
We were finally able to start teaching our Hand’sOnly CPR/AED class and it was a big success. We instructed two
classes at The Bernard Group. The classes were well attended and well received. Several of our firefighters attended
to assist in the training with hopes of getting them trained to instruct the course itself in the near future to be able to
expand our offering of this type of training to our community. The Bernard Group called the next day to schedule two
more training sessions for April and asked if this was something we could offer on an annual basis. We will be looking
to continue to expand this further into the community in the near future.
A Kidde Smoke Detector recall notice was issued for residential smoke alarms. A public education piece was
developed by Chanhassen Fire and released via social media to our community.
I was able to attend an advanced course on Youth Firesetting Prevention in St. Cloud in March where we discussed
improvements and changes to fire prevention programs for fire departments state and nationwide. We will be
expanding our fire prevention message to include older children and teenagers this year.
Fire Investigations
We had a small fire in an abandoned old barn off of Hihway 5 near Paisley Park that had several rekindles this month.
A short investigation in conjuncture with the Carver County Sheriff’s Office took place. It was concluded the fire was
most likely arson but with minimal damage and no injuries and, considering the nature of the structure, the cause and
origin could not be determined due to the hazards of entering the dilapidated structure. Chanhassen Fire is working
with the land owner to have the structures on the lot torn down to avoid future issues.
I attended the MN International Association of Arson Investigators Conference in St. Cloud in March. Great training
and networking with other fire investigators.
Fire Inspections
Starting to see a large influx of plans coming in for construction projects and remodels this spring. Some of the more
notable projects are listed below:
1. Mission Hills Senior Living – fire sprinkler plans were quite large and extensive. They were reviewed and
approved with some revisions.
2. Aldi store plans were reviewed and approved.
3. Panera store plans were reviewed and approved.
4. Westpark II sales center was finalled and approved.
5. Emerson – inspections were completed and a plan approved for temporary use of part of the facility for
interviews.
Chief Johnson and I finished up all annual fire inspections for the businesses who renew or apply for liquor licensing.
We are now working through reinspections of the violations noted in each of the buildings. This is the first year
Chanhassen has required these inspections for this type of business. It was a good start to this program to be able to

Chanhassen has required these inspections for this type of business. It was a good start to this program to be able to
work with the business and building owners to strategize how to deal with fire code issues for the future and develop
that working relationship. Although several businesses had many violations that were noted, we were able to educate
them on how to make the businesses safer for their employees and the customers.
Other Items of Note
March is also traditionally a busy training month for firefighters. I attended several classes in order to meet the national
standards for my EMT certification. We also developed and instructed two large auto extrication trainings for our
department.
