I turn 70 this September and have a clearer perspective of the aging process. I'm also helping my mid-80's inlaws
navigate life.Transportation for shopping and medical appointments is a major issue for seniors, as is their myriad of
health issues. Social aspects of our senior population, especially with COVID, have resulted in greater depression
and anxiety.
Having spent over four decades in real estate, housing, or the lack of affordable housing, is another cause for
concern.
My desire is to apply my forty plus years in business with my experience volunteering in community service
activities to help enhance the quality of life for Chanhassen seniors.
I have served on the Board of Advisors for numerous civic organizations (see resume) and continue to contribute.
I have received additional training in working with seniors: SRES designation (Senior Real Estate Specialist)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYEXECUTIVE SUMMARYEXECUTIVE SUMMARYEXECUTIVE SUMMARY
From January 2021 through March 2021, the City of
Chanhassen engaged in a strategic planning process. The
process resulted in a strategic plan covering FY 2021-2024.
The plan consists of five strategic priorities—the issues of
greatest importance to the City of Chanhassen over the next
three years. Associated with each priority is a set of desired
outcomes, key outcome indicators, and performance targets,
describing expected results and how the results will be
measured. The plan also includes strategic initiatives that will
be undertaken to achieve the targeted outcomes.
The planning effort began with an examination of the
operating environment, followed by a SWOT analysis. On
February 19-20, 2021, the leadership team held strategic
planning sessions. They developed a set of priorities, key
outcomes and performance targets, and outlined draft
versions of the organization’s vision, mission and values.
Based upon those priorities, the City’s senior management
team met on March 9, 2021 to identify a set of strategic
initiatives and develop detailed action plans. The strategic
priorities, key outcome indicators, performance targets and
strategic initiatives are summarized here and on the following
page.

STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS
Strategic planning is a process that helps leaders examine the current state of the
organization, determine a desired future state, establish priorities, and define a set of
actions to achieve specific outcomes. The process followed by the City of Chanhassen was
designed to answer four key questions: (1) Where are we now? (2) Where are we going? (3)
How will we get there? (4) What will we do? The process is divided into a development
phase and an implementation phase. The full process is depicted below.
Initiating the Process –Setting Expectations, Reviewing Current
Situation
The strategic planning process began with a meeting of the consultant and the City’s senior
management team on January 26, 2021. The meeting included a review of strategic planning
principles, a discussion of the upcoming planning retreat, an examination of vision, mission
and value statements, past strategic planning efforts, and current challenges. The session
concluded with a set of recommended principles for the vision, mission and value
statements, and a process for conducting the planning retreat.

SETTING DIRECTION: MISSION, VISION, VALUE
PROPOSITION AND CULTURE
On February 19-29, 2021, the City held a retreat to develop the strategic plan. As they
addressed the question of “Where are we now?” the group was challenged to define the
current organizational culture and its value proposition—understanding that an
organization’s culture, and the value proposition it puts forth provide the foundation for the
way in which services are delivered and strategic direction is set. The three value
propositions and core cultures are summarized as follows:
Three Value Propositions
Operational Excellence (example: Wal-Mart, Southwest Airlines)
- Deliver quality, price and ease of purchase that no one else can match!
Product/Service Leadership (example: Apple, Google)
- The best product/service...period!
Customer Intimacy (example: Nordstrom, Ritz-Carlton)
- The best total solution! (acts as a partner with you)
Four Core Cultures
Control Culture (example: Military - command and control)
- Strengths: Systematic, clear, conservative
- Weaknesses: Inflexible, compliance more important than innovation
Competence Culture (example: Research Lab – best and brightest)
- Strengths: Results oriented, efficient, systematic
- Weaknesses: Values can be ignored, human element missing, over planning
Collaboration Culture (example: Family-teams)
- Strengths: Manages diversity well, versatile, talented
- Weaknesses: Decisions take longer, group think, short-term oriented
Cultivation Culture (example: Non-profit/religious group-mission/values)
- Strengths: Creative, socially responsible, consensus oriented
- Weaknesses: Lacks focus, judgmental, lack of control
City of Chanhassen Strategic Plan FY 2021-2024 | March 2021

The group engaged in an extended discussion regarding value proposition, its relationship to
organizational culture, and how the City actually operates. It was generally agreed that the
City desires to have a customer intimate approach, but that operational excellence has been
important and will continue to be important for financial stability. Based upon that
understanding, operational excellence was determined to be the primary value proposition,
with customer intimacy as a secondary focus.

The group then directed their attention to their mission, vision and values statements. They
examined a range of concepts and statements from other cities, spent time reflecting and
debating their purpose and their long-term aspirations for the community. A brainstorming
process ensued, resulting in the identification of key concepts the group favored for each
statement. These were then used by the consultant over the succeeding weeks to create
draft statements.
The proposed vision, mission and value statements are listed below.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to serve the public. We do this through the delivery of reliable,
cost-effective services designed to provide a safe, sustainable community.
Vision Statement
Chanhassen is a safe, welcoming community for all generations with engaged

REVIEWING THE ENVIRONMENT, SETTING
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Following the value proposition, vision, mission and value statement discussion, the
leadership team continued the process of assessing the operating environment. This was
done via a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis--a process
that examines the organization’s internal strengths and weaknesses, as well as the
opportunities and threats in the external environment. To facilitate this, a SWOT
questionnaire was distributed to the City Council and senior staff in advance of the planning
session. Using the SWOT data, a small group review process revealed the most frequently
mentioned characteristics in each area.
STRENGTHS
• Good financial stewards (AAA Bond Rating)
• Competent and dedicated employees (motivated)
• Flexible/adaptable/collaborative (open to change)
WEAKNESSES
• Lack of investment (On staff, facilities, infrastructure, technology and services)
• Planning (Financial, strategic, policies)
• Trust (Internal and external)
OPPORTUNITIES
• Develop/redevelopment focus
• Staff utilization/leverage
• Collaboration (Residents, Stakeholders, neighboring communities)
• Long-term visioning/planning
THREATS
• Lack of trust
• Long-term financial planning – infrastructure – budgets
• COVID has amplified anxiety and awareness to existing issues
• Security of assets
City of Chanhassen Strategic Plan FY 2021-2024 | March 2021

The group used this information to identify those opportunities that would be helped the
most by the organization’s inherent strengths and which external threats were most likely
to exacerbate their weaknesses.
STRENGTHS LEVERAGING OPPORTUNITIES
(Make good things happen)
• Development/Redevelopment
• Staff utilization
• Collaboration
• Long-Term planning/visioning
WEAKNESSES EXACERBATED BY THREATS
(Keep bad things from happening)
• Lack of long-term, integrated financial planning and investment
• Lack of trust (Council-staff, Community-city)
• Poor communication (Silos, internal, to community)
• Inadequate information (poor processes)
Following this exercise, the group examined the results, and engaged in additional
brainstorming to identify the strategic issues and challenges facing the organization:
STRATEGIC ISSUES/CHALLENGES
• Effective communication (external, two ways)
• Staff utilization / BDs and communication
• Building trust
• Clear vision/visioning (big picture)
• Unreasonable expectations – identifying/discussing reality
• Long term consolidated planning
• Defining LOS

• Technology (modernize, utilize – security, support)
• Infrastructure
• Buildings and facilities assets
• Reliable internet
• Economy
• Population Growth
• Climate impacts
• Staffing/workforce

• Pace of growth
• Citizen engagement/education (two-way)
• Aging population
• Changing demographics
• Performance reporting/metrics
• Operations
City of Chanhassen Strategic Plan FY 2021-2024 | March 2021

Based upon the challenges and issues identified, a facilitated discussion ensued to
determine the highest priorities for the strategic planning period. The following priorities
emerged as the most important over the next three years:

WEAKNESSESWEAKNESSESWEAKNESSESWEAKNESSES
• Trust issues
• City Buildings are outdated and inadequate to support a progressive workforce. No CIP
budgeting or long-term direction on facility upgrades and staff work areas.
• The city attempts to maintain a small town feel which has led to small town approaches to
growing city problems. We spend more time worrying about the levy amount than
understanding the direct distinction between service levels and general fund budgets. Staff are
left to feel irresponsible if reacting to the issues within the organization result in $$.
• Everything in the SW area cities costs more. Contractors, lot prices, restaurants, home prices,
market rate rental rates etc. Yet, we have some of the lowest paid employees. This also relates
back to budgeting and the focus on levy versus realistic general fund budgeting. Recruitment
and retention are a major factor, and we are continually losing people to neighboring cities who
are paying significantly more for the same job classification.
• Documentation, information tracking, lack of SOP’s
• Institutional knowledge transfer
• Understanding other department’s needs, who they are
• Level of Staff engagement/empowerment
• Trust from top down
• A clear understanding of Citywide goals
• Reaction to isolated resident complaints/wishes, thinking about the greater good and not
make decisions on emotional or uneducated claims
• A considerable lacking in general policy.
• Many facilities are outdated and inadequate.
• Until now, there was no long-term more robust financial planning leaving the City in a
delicate financial position and a lot of deferred costs "piling up."
• Confusion with employees during Covid Pandemic. Expectations
• Employee accountability
• Lack of employee loyalty to organization
• Not competitive with employee wages. We train and employees leave
• Lack of funding annually for equipment, park replacement projects, municipal buildings
• Lack of trust between employees
• No meaningful long-term planning
• Outdated facilities
• Resistance to investing in services
• Compensation not comparable to neighboring cities (Minnetonka, EP)
• Staff turnover
City of Chanhassen Strategic Plan FY 2021-2024 | March 2021
22
• Few policies
• Lack of investment in technology and the support of existing technology
• Deferred investment in replacing capital and infrastructure.
• Previous lack of financial long-term planning & comprehensive budgeting
• Intense focus on cost containment vs strategic investment in the community
• City Hall outdated, not customer oriented
• Understaffed in some areas
• City Budget lacks funding for long term, has been “underfunded” for years
• Lack of long-term vision and plan for the city
• Infrastructure is old and crumbling. Roads, parks and trails need repair and maintenance and
a long-term funding mechanism.
• Lack of centralized community center (in center of town).
• City is largely built out; not a lot more land available for further growth.
• Lack of accessible, affordable housing
• Challenging financial predicament
• Too many unknowns
• No long-term strategy for growth, financial stability
• Outdated facilities
• Dated policies - many haven’t been updated, reviewed or established to meet current
standards
• Deteriorating financial position with pavement management needs
• Slowing growth, not many big parcels of land left to be developed
• Lack of strategic plan
• Outdated facilities and lack of plan for redevelopment or replacement
• Lack of 5-to-10-year financial plan
• Lack of long-term financial plan
• Lack of processes in some departments
• Lack of clarity around building codes
• Older city hall building
• Old rec center
OPPORTUNITIESOPPORTUNITIESOPPORTUNITIESOPPORTUNITIES
• Trust issues
• We have an entire area of the city that I ready for growth. There are major retail and
development projects and the potential for another major employer. We should be working hard
on downtown redevelopment to continue to provide a hub where you can stay within the
community to live, work, shop and enjoy entertainment.
• Utilizing new technology to do the job better
• Collaboration with outside agencies/stakeholders
• Re-org of staff
• Seize momentum of staff turnover/excitement for change
• Thinking long term (both financially, and also managing growth and redevelopment based on
sound planning)
• Lake Ann land acquisition.
• A supportive community that is hungry for reinvestment.

• Opportunities to build a city that lives up to its slogan of being a “community for life” by

all.
• Demographics are changing; new energy coming into the city.

• Council not supporting staff
City of Chanhassen Strategic Plan FY 2021-2024 | March 2021

• Trying to control free market versus following some of the trends other cities are doing. We
have plenty of opportunity, let the market drive what the needs are and follow the market
research done by others. Again, we want people to continue support the local community and
trends drive what those needs are.
• I think that finding people to work in a financially robust city when the wages don't align to
the remainder of the city will continue to keep the workforce fluid. I believe the housing stock
impacts that as well as the main line blue collar worker can't afford a home within the
community they serve. We may have some affordable stock in entry level or starter homes but
the 2nd home for the established family is NOT affordable to people that work in the city.
• Staff turnover
• Security of assets
• Remaining stagnant, get out in front of new technology/needs
• Previous lack of long-term financial planning
• Deferred costs, especially in terms of road maintenance.
• The business community being impacted by COVID-19 (especially restaurant and hospitality
industries).
• Not having a permanent City Manager
• Taking too long to make key decisions
• Failing businesses due to Covid Pandemic
• Resistance to raising taxes
• Distrust of government
• Extended deferred maintenance and replacement
• Deteriorating infrastructure
• Uncertain economic future
• Effects of lingering COVID on staff and economy
• Loosing staff to other municipalities
• Network attacks such as ransomware
• Residents’ response to increased city budgets
• Roads are in poor shape. Need funding and residents are not happy with new assessments
for road repair.
• Covid19 affecting the health and wellbeing of our residents and staff (first responders,
especially?)
• Covid has caused schools and businesses to shut down, at least partially. Damage to long
standing points of interest like the
• Chanhassen Dinner Theater, Chan Cinema, etc
• Heavier rainfall and increasing storm damage causing flooding and more property damage.
Warmer weather affecting our lake water quality.
• Threats to our lakes: single use plastic, rising temperatures, wake surfing, pollution, salt, etc.
• Traffic concerns, pedestrian and bike safety.

VISITOR PRESENTATIONS.
KERI COLVIN CITIZEN ACTION REQUEST
Keri Colvin, owner of Golf Zone located at 825 Flying Cloud Dr, Chaska, asked the Council to
change City Code 20-259 to allow the golf driving range to hold a liquor license to serve beer
and wine. Currently, Golf Zone holds a 3.2 liquor license, however, few manufacturers make 3.2
beer which limits the options they can serve customers. Ms. Colvin stated she would like to offer
a larger selection including local beer.
Council was supportive of directing staff to research the request and bring it to a future meeting.
Councilman McDonald asked if the City Code should be changed to remove the limitation of 3.2
liquor licenses for golf driving ranges.
Community Development Director Kate Aanenson stated that the process would include a public
hearing before the Planning Commission and then would return to the Council for action.
Ms. Colvin clarified that Golf Zone is only looking for permission to serve beer and wine. They
have a Category 1 food license.
Councilwoman Schubert asked if there are other parts of the City Code that reference a 3.2 liquor
license.
Ms. Aanenson stated staff would review City Code for other references to 3.2 liquor.

Chanhassen Environmental Commission (EC)
Regular Meeting – Zoom Online Meeting

February 11, 2021
Members Present: Bill Chappell, Kristin Fulkerson, Jeff Harken, Greg Hawks, Don Vasatka, and
Markus Fischer.
Members Absent: None
Staff Present: Jill Sinclair, Environmental Resources Specialist
Minutes: January minutes were approved.
City updates:
• City staff had EAB training with the MN Dept of Agriculture (MDA) on site at the confirmed
infestation. Street and Park employees were shown the signs of EAB in the ash and
presented with life cycle and management information. City and MDA employees then
scouted throughout the city. Two more trees north of the confirmed site were found with
signs of EAB. Jill has contacted all of the affected property owners and sent information to
the neighborhoods closest to the infestation alerting them to the situation.
• Tree City USA and the Arbor Day Foundation is hosting a free virtual conference. Jill can
share the promo code with any commissioners who’d like to attend the sessions.
• Last month, Jill shared that Xcel plans on updating all their street lighting in Chanhassen to
LED. The commission asked how many lights is that and how many lights does the city
operate? Jill shared that Xcel owns and maintains 963 streetlights in town. Minnesota
Valley Electric Company has 289 light. The city has 305 street lights, of which 60 at last
count had been switch to LED. The switch is made when the light burns out and needs
replacement. Don suggested buying all of the need LED replacements to get a better cost
and help facilitate replacements. Jill will look into it.
• Adopt a highway. Don told the commission that the section of Hwy 5 without a name is
currently adopted and waiting for a new sign. The only other section available is on Hwy 41
south of Hwy 5 and is mostly in Chaska. The commission agreed that they’d still like ot
pursue a highway adoption within town. Don will check with Carver County on what’s
available. If something is adopted, then maybe other commissions could also be invited to
participate.
• Jill shared that the city is considering offering a Metro Blooms class on Resilient Lawns, Bee
Friendly Lawns or Creating Pollinator Habitat. She will let the commission know if one gets
scheduled.
2
• A UMN student contacted the city about bird-safety protocols and ordinances and whether
the city has any. It does not. The student has been invited to make a presentation to the city
council on the topic.
2021 Recycling education event: Greg contacted DemCon about their education trailer and shared via
email that the trailer is out of commission until Covid protocols are removed. In anticipation of less or
no restrictions by fall, Greg reserved the trailer for Sept. 8. He said the trailer education program only
runs M-F, 8a-5p. Don suggested maybe making it an after-school type of program and schedule it for 3
or 3:30p on a weekday. The commission decided Oct. 13 would be a better date. Greg will contact
DemCon and change the date. The event could be advertised through Park and Rec programming to
reach families as well as PeachJar for the schools. Greg also shared that DemCon has a variety of good
videos that the city is free to use on social media. It was suggested that posting them should be added to
the recycling communications calendar. Kristin offered to watch the videos and schedule them in the
calendar. Markus will add her as an editor. Don had an idea of creating a physical display to rotate
around the city parks. It would have recycling info and possible be interactive, include QR codes for
more info or quizzes or videos. Keeping it simple was the consensus. Perhaps have a side for each
recyclable material – paper, plastic, trash, metal. Include factoids like take a cap off glass and metal
bottles before recycling, what recycling gets turned into, etc. One idea for construction is to use
recycled material lumber for the display. Markus shared the Waste Wizard, a program that allows user
to type in any material and see if it’s recyclable or not and what the options are for disposal. The
program is run by ReCollect. Jill will look into the cost of hosting it on a city webpage and whether
Carver County would be interested in partnering on it. The discussion circled back the education event
and the display and it was decided to talk about it again next month after the Environmental Center tour.
Arbor Day 2021: Jill shared the write-up for the poster contest and virtual Arbor Day event that will be
published in the Connection. The commission suggested advertising the poster contest in more ways
like a banner on the website, posting on social media, and maybe most effective – sandwich boards
downtown. Jill will scan any posters submitted and send links to commission to a share file for viewing.
General Discussion:
• The commission decided to promote Earth Hour this year. It happens March 27, 8:30-9:30p.
Participants are asked to turn off exterior lights for 1 hour. Kristin will add the promotion to
the communications calendar. Jill will check to see if the city can participate with any city
lighting that can be programmed remotely for the shut off. Don will check with high school
about participation since they participated in 2019. Jeff will check with Rachel to get Paisley
Park contact info to see if they will participate again as well.
• Watershed update – The board approved a survey to be done for the Pioneer Tr/101 project.
A vegetation management plan was approved for Lotus Lake. It will include issues such as
wanted/not wanted vegetation present, shoreline restoration, etc. St. Hubert is requesting a
resue system to be included with the fix for the failed catch basin. The system would save
3
$150K in water costs. The project would cost $160K+ to implement the smart controller
system. It was tabled. A Bluff Creek stabilization project near the high school is being
explored.
Meeting adjourned at 7:45 pm

Subject Ordinance No. XXX: Approve Code Amendments to Chapters 18 and 20
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: D.5.
Prepared By MacKenzie YoungWalters, Associate
Planner
File No:
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council approves the proposed amendments to Chapters 18 and 20 concerning Tree Surveys and
Landscaping Standards; Reconciling Intent Statements for RLM, R8 and R12 Zoning Districts; and Increasing the
Final Plat and Metes and Bounds Subdivision Recording Timeline, and adopts the attached summary ordinance for
publication."
Note: Approval of the proposed amendments requires a simple majority vote of members present; adoption of the
summary ordinance requires a 4/5 vote.
Approval requires a 4/5 Vote.
SUMMARY
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. Staff has identified sections of the Code
pertaining to Tree Surveys and Landscaping Standards, the Intent Statements for the RLM, R8, and R12 Zoning
Districts, and the recording timelines for Final Plats and Metes and Bounds Subdivisions as areas where the City Code
could be improved.
A brief discussion of each item is provided under the discussion section of this cover page. A full analysis can be found
in the attached staff reports.
BACKGROUND
Staff presented these items to the City Council during their August 24, 2020 work session and was instructed to bring
the proposed amendments before the Planning Commission for a public hearing. As staff researched the proposals the
following changes were made from what was initially discussed:
1. Tree inventory surveys required to be conducted or updated within two years of the application (five years was
discussed on August 24th).
2. R8's intent statement reconciled by removing reference to singlefamily, detached housing (reconciling by
adding to permitted uses was discussed on August 24th). Additionally, staff discovered issues with the intent

statements for the RLM and R12 districts and included them in the proposed amendment.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 2, 2021 to consider the proposed amendments.
No member of the public spoke for or against any of the items.
During the meeting, the Planning Commission made the following comments:
Commissioner McGonagill asked why staff was not proposing using a threeyear standard for tree inventories, similar
to what was established for wetlands. Staff explained that forests change more quickly than wetlands and that wetland
updates require a more significant external review than tree surveys. Additionally, staff noted that a new tree survey
was not required, only an updated one.
Commissioner McGonagill asked what a tree survey cost. Staff replied that it depended on the size of the parcel and
number of trees.
Commissioner McGonagill expressed concern that tree diversity standards would unduly restrict landowners from
planting what they wanted. Staff clarified that the standards applied to developments and site plans, not to a
homeowner’s landscaping efforts.
Commissioner von Oven asked if extension requests frequently went to City Council. Staff responded that they do
when extenuating circumstances were present and that the City Council typically granted the extension.
Commissioner von Oven asked if the Planning Commission rather than the City Council could approve these requests.
Staff explained that all extensions had to go before the City Council.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council approve of all three proposed
amendments.
DISCUSSION
Tree Diversity Standards
Goal six of the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan’s Natural Resources Section is to “maintain a healthy and diverse
urban forest”. One of the four policies enumerated to support this goal is “Continue to maintain a diversity of species in
all public tree planting projects. At a minimum, use the 302010 rule to select trees for projects.” The 302010 rule
is the principle that no more than 30 percent of trees should come from any one family, no more than 20 percent of
trees should come from any one genus, and no more than 10 percent of trees should come from any one species. This
minimum level of diversity helps to limit the amount of damage that a single disease, pest, or event can do to the city’s
urban forest. While the city’s subdivision ordinance was amended to incorporate this standard in 2019, the city’s
general landscaping standards were not amended to include a tree diversity requirement. Staff proposes amending the
City Code to extend this standard to the general landscaping requirements in order to ensure that site plans and other
projects align with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan’s goals and policies.
Tree Inventory Expiration
The city’s subdivision ordinance requires that applicants submit a tree survey in order to allow staff to evaluate the
development’s impact on the natural environment and ensure compliance with the city’s tree preservation and canopy
coverage requirements; however, unlike other environmental studies required by the city, there is no requirement that
the tree survey be current. In some cases, tree studies done many years prior to the subdivision application are
submitted to meet this requirement. Since natural features like trees and forests change over time, this can lead to
situations where the conditions represented by the submitted survey no longer reflect the conditions on the site. In
order to ensure that the city has accurate information from which to determine a project’s compliance with the city’s
tree preservation requirements, staff recommends amending the City Code to require that the submitted tree survey be
no more than two years old.
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORTMonday, March 22, 2021SubjectOrdinance No. XXX: Approve Code Amendments to Chapters 18 and 20SectionCONSENT AGENDA Item No: D.5.Prepared By MacKenzie YoungWalters, AssociatePlanner File No: PROPOSED MOTION“The City Council approves the proposed amendments to Chapters 18 and 20 concerning Tree Surveys andLandscaping Standards; Reconciling Intent Statements for RLM, R8 and R12 Zoning Districts; and Increasing theFinal Plat and Metes and Bounds Subdivision Recording Timeline, and adopts the attached summary ordinance forpublication."Note: Approval of the proposed amendments requires a simple majority vote of members present; adoption of thesummary ordinance requires a 4/5 vote.Approval requires a 4/5 Vote.SUMMARYStaff periodically reviews areas of the City Code that could potentially be amended to close loopholes, removeobsolete provisions, improve clarity, or allow for increased flexibility. Staff has identified sections of the Codepertaining to Tree Surveys and Landscaping Standards, the Intent Statements for the RLM, R8, and R12 ZoningDistricts, and the recording timelines for Final Plats and Metes and Bounds Subdivisions as areas where the City Codecould be improved. A brief discussion of each item is provided under the discussion section of this cover page. A full analysis can be foundin the attached staff reports.BACKGROUNDStaff presented these items to the City Council during their August 24, 2020 work session and was instructed to bringthe proposed amendments before the Planning Commission for a public hearing. As staff researched the proposals thefollowing changes were made from what was initially discussed:1. Tree inventory surveys required to be conducted or updated within two years of the application (five years wasdiscussed on August 24th).2. R8's intent statement reconciled by removing reference to singlefamily, detached housing (reconciling byadding to permitted uses was discussed on August 24th). Additionally, staff discovered issues with the intentstatements for the RLM and R12 districts and included them in the proposed amendment.The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 2, 2021 to consider the proposed amendments. No member of the public spoke for or against any of the items. During the meeting, the Planning Commission made the following comments:Commissioner McGonagill asked why staff was not proposing using a threeyear standard for tree inventories, similarto what was established for wetlands. Staff explained that forests change more quickly than wetlands and that wetlandupdates require a more significant external review than tree surveys. Additionally, staff noted that a new tree surveywas not required, only an updated one.Commissioner McGonagill asked what a tree survey cost. Staff replied that it depended on the size of the parcel andnumber of trees.Commissioner McGonagill expressed concern that tree diversity standards would unduly restrict landowners fromplanting what they wanted. Staff clarified that the standards applied to developments and site plans, not to ahomeowner’s landscaping efforts.Commissioner von Oven asked if extension requests frequently went to City Council. Staff responded that they dowhen extenuating circumstances were present and that the City Council typically granted the extension.Commissioner von Oven asked if the Planning Commission rather than the City Council could approve these requests.Staff explained that all extensions had to go before the City Council.The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council approve of all three proposedamendments.DISCUSSIONTree Diversity StandardsGoal six of the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan’s Natural Resources Section is to “maintain a healthy and diverseurban forest”. One of the four policies enumerated to support this goal is “Continue to maintain a diversity of species inall public tree planting projects. At a minimum, use the 302010 rule to select trees for projects.” The 302010 ruleis the principle that no more than 30 percent of trees should come from any one family, no more than 20 percent oftrees should come from any one genus, and no more than 10 percent of trees should come from any one species. Thisminimum level of diversity helps to limit the amount of damage that a single disease, pest, or event can do to the city’surban forest. While the city’s subdivision ordinance was amended to incorporate this standard in 2019, the city’sgeneral landscaping standards were not amended to include a tree diversity requirement. Staff proposes amending theCity Code to extend this standard to the general landscaping requirements in order to ensure that site plans and otherprojects align with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan’s goals and policies.Tree Inventory ExpirationThe city’s subdivision ordinance requires that applicants submit a tree survey in order to allow staff to evaluate thedevelopment’s impact on the natural environment and ensure compliance with the city’s tree preservation and canopycoverage requirements; however, unlike other environmental studies required by the city, there is no requirement thatthe tree survey be current. In some cases, tree studies done many years prior to the subdivision application aresubmitted to meet this requirement. Since natural features like trees and forests change over time, this can lead tosituations where the conditions represented by the submitted survey no longer reflect the conditions on the site. Inorder to ensure that the city has accurate information from which to determine a project’s compliance with the city’s
tree preservation requirements, staff recommends amending the City Code to require that the submitted tree survey be
no more than two years old.
RLM, R8, and R12 Intent Statements
Every zoning district is prefaced by an intent statement that outlines the purpose of the district. In residential districts,
this statement typically lists permitted types of housing and intended density. The subsequent list of uses and lot
requirements should be consistent with the initial intent statement. In both the R8 and R12 districts, the intent
statements do not match the list of permitted uses. In the R8 district, the intent statement lists detached, singlefamily
homes but this style of housing is not listed as a permitted residential use. In the R12 district, twin homes are listed as
a permitted use but are not mentioned in the intent statement.
Staff examined the typical lot sizes associated with singlefamily homes and twin homes and determined that neither
type of housing would facilitate the minimum density required for the respective zoning district. For this reason staff is
proposing reconciling the discrepancy by removing singlefamily housing from the R8 intent statement and removing
twin homes and their associated lot standards from the R12 district’s list of permitted uses.
Regarding the RLM district, its intent statement’s clause that the district’s maximum density is eight units per acre can
create confusion when developers attempt to apply the district to land guided low density residential, which the
Comprehensive Plan limits to a maximum density of four units per acre. Amending the intent statement to only
reference the applicable land use categories would clarify that the district’s densities are expected to fall within those
proscribed by the city’s land use plan.
Recording Timelines
The current language in the Subdivision Ordinance mandates that final plats and metes and bounds subdivisions be
recorded with the County Recorder Office within 30 days after receiving City Council approval. Failure of the
applicant to comply with this timeline is listed as cause for revoking the city's approval. Often, multiple issues arise that
are beyond the control of the applicant, property owner or city, and these issues make meeting the 30day deadline
impossible. In practice, the city does not act to revoke the approval when these issues arrive, due to the understanding
that extenuating circumstances happen. That being said, a timeline is required in order to prevent developers from
deliberately delaying recording an approved subdivision to artificially maintain a lower property tax valuation.
Staff proposes to balance these considerations by extending the timeline to record a plat from 30 days to 120 days,
which would make it consistent with the recording timelines established for other recorded documents under the City
Code. Failure to meet that deadline would void the approval unless a request for time extension is submitted in writing
and approved by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the proposed amendments to Chapters 18 and
20.

ISSUES
While the subdivision ordinance was amended in 2019 to reflect the 2040 Comprehensive Plan's
tree diversity standards, the portion of the ordinance that governs general landscaping standards
was not amended to incorporate these standards.
The city's subdivision ordinance requires that a tree survey be submitted as part of the
subdivision process, but does not require that the survey be current.
Goal six ofthe city's 2040 Comprehensive Plan's Natural Resources Section is to "maintarn a
healthy and diverse urban forest". One ofthe four policies enumerated to support this goal is
"Continue to maintain a diversity of species in all public tree planting projects. At a minimum,
use the 30-20-10 rule to select trees for projects." The 30-20-10 rule is the principle that no more
than 30 percent oftrees should come from any one family, no more than 20 percent of trees
should come from any one genus, and no more than 10 percent oftrees should come from any
one species. This minimum level of diversity helps to limit the amount of damage that a single
disease, pest, or event can do to the city's urban forest. While the city's subdivision ordinance
was amended to incorporate this standard in 2019, the city's general landscaping standards were

RELE VANT CITY CODE
Sec. l8-61 - This section outlines the subdivision ordinance's landscaping and tree preservation
requirements, including the 30-20-10 rule and tree survey requirement'
Sec. 20-l 183 - This section lists the landscaping requirements that are applied to site plan
reviews.
ANALYSIS
Issue 1: Landscape Standards
The city recently adopted the 2040 Comprehensive Plan which contains a new policy related to
the city's goal of maintaining a healthy and diverse urban forest. As part ofthe comprehensive
planning process, the city is required to update its code ofordinances to align with the policies of
the Comprehensive Plan. The city updated the subdivision ordinance to reflect these policies in
May of20l9; however, the city's landscaping requirements do not currently contain any tree
diversity requirement. These landscaping requirements come into play during site plan reviews,
and adding a diversity requirement will help ensure that a development's landscaping plans have
the mix oftrees needed to create a resilient urban forest.
The importance ofa diverse urban forest has been highlighted by the devastating effects of
Dutch elm disease and emerald ash borer. In these cases, a single disease or insect killed millions
of trees in cities, the effects worsened due to a lack of tree diversity. Diversity is key to a healthy
urban forest. To put it simply, different trees are susceptible to different pests, different kinds of
weather and different kinds of damage so by consciously choosing a variety oftrees, an urban
forest becomes less vulnerable to outbreaks, climate change and severe weather. When there is a
loss in a ciry's tree cover, it represents notjust the loss of money entailed in removing and
replacing the stricken trees, but also the loss of shade, water management, aesthetics, and air
quality improvements associated with community c,rnopy cover.
Having a high density ofa single type oftree makes it easier for pests and diseases to spread and
harder to manage an outbreak. It also means that a single pest or disease can have devastating
effects on neighborhoods with an overabundance of a single species. When a developer or a city
relies too heavily on a single species, genus or family, it creates a vulnerability within that
Tree Diversity Standards and Inventory Expiration
March2,2021
Page 3
neighborhood. Significant tree loss in any neighborhood is heavily felt, emotionally, socially
and financially by the neighborhood and city. Having a diversity oftree types provides
resiliency and cost savings to everyone in the community.
There will always be threats to the health and sustainability ofour city's canopy, but one of the
best ways to protect the city's urban forest is to ensure a measured diversity of trees. A wider
variety oftrees decreases the susceptibility ofour urban forest, reduces the speed at which an
outbreak can spread, and increases the feasibility ofeffectively and efficiently responding to
serious events, whether they be biological or weather-related.
In order to ensure that adequate tree diversity is present throughout the city, staff is proposing
adding a standard to the city's landscaping requirements stating that no more than ten percent of
the trees may be from any one tree species, no more than 20 percent ofthe trees may be from any
one genus, and no more than 30 percent oftrees from any one family.
Issue 2: Tree Sumey
The city's subdivision ordinance requires that developers submit various documents depicting
the properties'. Examples of these documents include wetland delineations, topographic surveys,
and tree surveys. The information provided by these items allows staff to assess the proposed
development's impact on the natural environment and compliance with City Code' While
topographic fearures tend to remain relatively static over time, both wetland delineations and tree
surveys describe living systems that can change significantly in a handful ofyears.
In recognition ofthis, the city requires wetland delineations be no older than three years;
however, tree surveys do not have a similar requirement. This has led to situations where the city
is asked to evaluate a subdivision's compliance with the city's tree preservation and canopy
coverage requirements based on tree surveys that no longer accurately reflect the conditions on
the property. Often times this happens when an initial tree survey is submitted as part ofa
subdivision that does not go forward, then many years later the proposal is resubmitted with the
applicant presenting the original tree survey.
Of particular concem is that fact that the city requires tree surveys to note damaged and diseased
trees as well as trees over a specified size. This information is used by city staff to help
determine which trees it is most important to preserve as well as which trees need to be removed.
In cases where many years have passed between the initial tree survey and the submitted
application trees that were previously damaged or diseased may have died, previously healthy
trees may have become damaged or diseased, and existing trees may have gown to a size where
the City Code would require their inclusion in a tree survey. All ofthese factors can potentially
change how the city's landscaping and tree preservation requirements apply to the site'
In order to address this concem and ensure that the city has accurate and up-to-date information,
staff is proposing amending the City Code to require that tree survey's be no older than two
years old. Within this time period, there will be changes to trees on a property as they grow
larger, but barring any catastrophic impact by weather or biologicals, the overall change will be
less significant. Beyond that time period, tree growth and health changes become more
noticeable. It would always be in the best interest ofthe developer and city to have the most
current inventory possible, but the two-year period allows for somewhat recent inventory work to
still be applicable.
2) Amend the City Code to adopt the 30-20-10 rule and establish a statute of limitations tbr
tree surveys.
MMENDATI
Staff recommends Altemative 2 which will bring the landscaping section of the City Code in line
with the tree diversity policy stated in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and ensure that accurate
tree surveys are submitted as part of the subdivision process.
The proposed amendments would read as follows:
Sec. I 8-61. - Landscaping and tree preservation requirements.
(d) The following standards shall be used in evaluating subdivisions and site plans:
( 1) It is a policy of the City of Chanhassen 10 protect the integrity of the natural
environment through the preservation, protection, and planting oftrees. The city finds
that fiees provide many benefits including: stabilization ofthe soil by the prevention of
erosion and sedimentation, reduction of stormwater runoff and the costs associated
therewith, improvement of air quality, reduction of noise pollution, control of urban
heat island effect, protection and increase of property values, protection ofprivacy,
energy conservation through natural insulation, control of drainage and restoration of
denuded soil subsequent to constuction and grading, protection from severe weather,
providing habitat for birds and other wildlife, conservation and enhancement of city's
physical and aesthetic environment, reforestation of open lands, and general protection
and enhancement ofthe quality of life and general welfare ofthe city. It is therefore the
purpose ofthis section to provide regulations related to the cutting, removal, or killing
of trees on construction and development sites and to ensure the protection and
preservation of the natural environment and beauty ofthe City of Chanhassen.
(2) Prior to the submittal of development plans, a tree survey of the site shall be prepared by
a registered landscape architect, licensed forester, or other professional approved by the
ciry. The tree survey shall reflect conditions on site at the time of submittal, or
shall have been reviewed and updated no more then two years prior to the
submittal date. This survey shall include the species, DBH size, condition, location of
all trees over ten inches in diameter and any damaged or diseased trees on site. All
significant special, damaged or diseased trees shall be tagged and identified by number

on the survey. A delineation of the existing canopy coverage area(s) which outlines all
aleas covered by ree canopy shall be included as part of the survey. Additionally, all
damaged and diseased trees shall be cataloged with the nanue and extent ofany damage
or disease specified.
a, Based on this survey and either site observation and measurement or a current
aerial photograph (taken within one year ofthe date ofplan submittal)
interpretation, the following shall be calculated:
l. Base line canopy coverage.
2. Minimum canopy coverage requirements.
b. The following table shall be used to determine the minimum amount of canopy
coverage that must be maintained or provided on-sire as part ofthe development. It
shall represent the minimum canopy coverage, consisting of existing tree canopy
and/or additional trees required for the site. Existing wetland areas, bluff areas, and
dedicated park land located on site shall be excluded from the calculation of site
area in the determination of site coverage. If a forested area is to be dedicated to the
city for park land, then this area shall not be included in the base line canopy
coverage area calculation nor shall it count towards the minimum canopy coverage
for the site.

more than ten percent of the canopy retention requirement may be met by an
individual tree that is not included within a designated woodland area.
d. For developments that do not meet the minimum canopy coverage, the developer
shall be required to develop a forestation plan to bring the total canopy coverage up
to the minimum requirement. Where existing woodlands are removed or there is a
loss of trees that would otherwise be used to meet the canopy coverage retention
requirement, the developer shall develop a woodland replacement plan. The
replacement plan must designate an area at least one and two-tenths (l '2) times the
removed canopy coverage area that shall be planted with replacement trees for
those removed. These plans shall locate additional trees either as a continuation of
existing stands of trees that are to be preserved or create new stands oftrees in
desirable locations such as along roadway corridors, on the north and west
perimeters ofthe development, in common open areas, or adjacent to park
facilities.
e. The following criteria shall be followed in establishing minimum canopy coverage:
l. When planting trees, one tree shall be deemed to provide 1,089 square feet of
required canopy coverage;
2. Trees must be from the approved list ofdesirable species (preference given for
trees designated as native);
3. No more than ten percent ofthe trees may be from any one tree species, no
more than 20 percent ofthe trees may be from any one genus, and no more
than 30 percent oftrees from any one family;
4. Over-story trees shall be at least 2%-inch caliper and understory trees shall be a
minimum of I %-inch caliper;
5. Conifer trees shall be a minimum of six feet in height;
6. Plant materials used for the reforestation shall be of a similar species as
vegetation found on-site;
7. Trees shall be used that are appropriate to the soil conditions found on site;
8. Trees shall be from certified nursery stock as defined and controlled by M.S' $$
I 8.,14 through I 8.61 , the Plant Pest Act; and
Sec. 20-1183. - Landscaping materials.
(a) The landscaping materials shall consist ofthe following:
(l) Ilalls and fences. Walls shall be constructed of natual stone, brick or other appropriate
materials. Fences shall be constructed of wood. Chain link fencing will be permitted
only ifcovered with plant material or otherwise screened.
(2) Earth Derzs. Earth berms shall be physical barriers which block or screen the view
similar to a hedge, fence or wall. Mounds shall be constnrcted with proper and adequate
plant material to prevent erosion. A difference in elevation between areas requiring

screening does not constitute an existing earth mound, and shall not be considered as
fulfilling any screening requirement.
(3) Plants. All plant materials shall be living plants; artificial plants are prohibited. Plant
materials shall meet the following requirements:
a. Deciduous trees. Shall be species having an average crown spread of greater than
l5 feet and having trunk(s) which can be maintained with over five feet of clear
wood in areas which have visibility requirements, except at vehicular use area
intersections where an eight-foot clear wood requirement will control. Trees having
an average mature spread of crown less than 15 feet may be substituted by
grouping ofthe same so as to create the equivalent ofa lS-foot crown spread- A
minimum of ten feet overall height or minimum caliper (trunk diameter, measwed
six inches above ground for fiees up to four inches caliper) ofat least two and one-
half inches immediately after planting shall be required. Trees of species whose
roots are known to cause damage to public roadways or other public works shall
not be placed closer than l5 feet to such public works, unless the tree root system is
completely contained within a barrier for which the minimum interior conuining
dimensions shall be five feet square and five feet deep and for which the
construction requirements shall be four inches thick, reinforced concrete'
b. Evergteen trees. Evergreen trees shall be a minimum of six feet high with a
minimum caliper ofone and one-half inches when planted when counted as an
understory tree. Over-story evergreens shall be a minimum of eight feet high'

species, no more than 20 percent of the trees may be from any one genus, and
no more than 30 percent of trees from any one family.
d. Shrubs and hedges. Deciduous shrubs shall be at least two feet in average height
when planted, and shall conform to the opacity and other requirements within four
years after planting. Evergreen shrubs shall be at least two feet in average height
and two feet in diameter.
e. Vines. Vines shall be at least 12 inches high at planting, and are generally used in
conjunction with walls or fences.
f. Grass or ground cover. Grass shall be planted in species normally grown as
pennanent lawns, and may be sodded, plugged, sprigged, or seeded; except in
swales or other areas subject to erosion, where solid sod, erosion reducing net, or
suitable mulch shall be used, nurse-grass seed shall be sown for immediate
protection until complete coverage otherwise is achieved. Grass sod shall be clean
and free of weeds and noxious pests or diseases. Ground cover such as organic
material shall be planted in such a manner as to present a finished appearance and
75 percent of complete coverage after two complete growing seasons, with a
maximum of 15 inches on center. In certain cases, gtound cover also may consist of

PROPOSED MOTION:
"The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the
proposed ordinance amending Chapter 20 conceming the RLM, R-8, and R-12 districts."
ISSUES
The intent statement for the city's R-8 district lists providing single-family detached housing as a
function of the district, but single-family detached housing is not listed as a permitted use. Similarly,
the city's R-12 district lists two-family dwellings as a permitted use, but its intent statement only
lists townhomes and multifamily residential structures. These discrepancies should be reconciled.
Additionally, the intent statement for the city's RLM district states the maximum density is eight
units per acre; however, the district is intended to be used on land guided for either low or medium
density, and the stated density would only be permitted on land guided medium density.
Every zoning district is prefaced by an intent statement that outlines the purpose of the district. ln
residential districts, this statement typically lists permitted types of housing and intended density. The
subsequent list ofuses and lot requirements should be consistent with the initial intent statement. In
both the R-8 and R-l2 districts, the intent statements do not match the list of permitted uses. In the R-8
district, the intent statement lists detached single-family homes but this style of housing is not listed as a
permitted residential use. In the R-l2 district, twin homes are listed as a permitted use but are not
mentioned in the intent statement.
Stafl examined the typical lot sizes associated with single-family homes and twin homes and
determined that neither t1,pe of housing would facilitate the minimum density required for the respective
zoning district. For this reason stalf is proposing reconciling the discrepancy by removing single-family
housing from the R-8 intent statement and removing twin homes and their associated lot standards from
the R-12 district's list of permitted uses.

Regarding the RLM distric! its intent statement's clause that the district's maximum density is eight
units per acre can create confusion whan developers attempt to apply the district to land guided low
density residential, which the Comprehensive Plan limits to a maximum density of four units per acre.
Amending the intent statement to only reference the applicable land use categories would clarifu that
the disrict's densities are expected to fall within those proscribed by the city's land use plan.
RELEVANT C
Chapter l, Section l-2, Rules ofconstruction and definitions: defines single-family dwelling as a
detached building containing one dwelling unit, two-farnily dwelling as a detached building
containing two dwelling units and notes that it is low density, town house dwellings as a row ofat
least three single-family attached dwellings where no unit is located over another unit, and multi-
family dwelling as a detached building containing three or more dwelling units.

AI\IALYSIS
When determining what zoning is appropriate for a site, the city looks to the Comprehensive Plan's
land use plan. This land use plan guides various parcels for different broad categories ofuses like
industrial or residential. Within the residential category parcels are guided for large lot, low density,
medium density, and high density uses. Each ofthese uses has a required density range, for example
areas guided low density must develop with a density of between 1.2 and four units per acre. The
city's Comprehensive Plan liss what zoning districts are permissible for what land use designations
and this designation is reinforced by the each districts' opening intent statement which outlines what
types of housing it is intended to accommodate.
In the case ofthe city's R-8 and R-I2 districts,
they are respectively guided for MediurilHigh and
High density development. Areas guided medium
density must develop at densities of between four
and eight units per acre and areas guided high
density must develop at densities of between eight
and 1 6 units per acre, though the R- 12 district is
intended to have a maximum density of 12 units
per acre. In order to achieve the required densities,

a 15,000 square foot minimum lot size for single-family homes which corresponds to 2.9 units per
acre (i.e. low density), and a 10,000 square foot minimum per unit lot size for two-family homes
which corresponds to 4.35 units per acre (i.e. medium density).
In the example above, the R-4 district's intent statement lists single-family detached and attached
residential development, it's permitted uses list single-family and two-family dwellings, and its
minimum lot sizes facilitate the proscribed densities. However, both the R-8 and R-12 districts have
discrepancies between their intent statements, permitted uses, and minimum lot sizes. For the R-8
district, facilitating single-family detached residential development is listed as an intent of the
district, but is not listed as a permitted use. This discrepancy could be resolved either by adding
single-family dwelling to the list of permitted uses and adopting appropriate standards or by
removing it Aom the intent statement. In order to evaluate which approach makes the most sense,
staff put together a table listing housing types permitted in the R-4, RLM, R-8, and R-12 districts
along with the relevant lot standards.

To make the minimum density requirement of four units per acre, single-family homes within the R-
8 district would need to have a minimum lot size of 10,890 square feet. Staff is concemed that this
lot size would undermine the intent of the RLM district, which allows smaller single-family lot sizes
within areas guided lodmedium density in exchange for the dedication of permanent open spaces. It
is difficult to see why a developer would pursue RLM zoning if R-8 was amended to allow
comparably sized lots without the dedication requirement. Similarly, it would allow R-8 districts to
have single-family lot sizes smaller than what is permitted in the PUD-R district for detached single-
family homes, without the expectation of a higher quality development which is required of
developers requesting PUD-R zoning.
Ultimately, the R-8 zone is intended to be a true medium density zone characterized by attached
housing, rather than a hybrid loilmedium density zone like the RLM district where either small lot
single-family or attached housing is appropriate. In order to maintain the existing distinctions within
the City Code and encourage developers looking for higher density single-family options to dedicate
land or meet PUD-R standards, staff recommends that the R-8 discrepancy be resolved by removing
detached single-family residential developments from the intent statement. This change would also
be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's description ofland guided for medium density as being
characterized by duplexes, townhouses, and lower density apartrnents or condominiums.
The R-12 district has the opposite problem of the R-8 district. In the R-l2 district, the uses listed in
the intent statement correspond to the district's intended function as a high density residential
district. The 3,600 square foot minimum lot size for both townhouses and multifamily developments
corresponds to a maximum density of 12.1 units per acre, which aligns closely the district's intended
12 unit per acre maximum density; however, the district lists two-family dwellings as a permitted
use. Since the district establishes a 7,500 per dwelling unit minimum lot size for twin-homes, this
use would equate to a development with a maximum density of 5.8 units per acre, significantly
below the eight unit per acre minimum required for land guided as high density residential.
Staff believes the best way to clarifr the permitted density within the RLM district is to remove the
language referencing the eight unit per acre maximum and have the opening sentence simply note
that it is intended to be provided for single-family attached and detached residential development on
Given that the Comprehensive Plan states that land guided high density should provide for
aparfinents and condominiums, staff believes the discrepancy within the R-12 district should be
resolved by removing two-family dwellings and their associated standards from the list of permitted
uses. This change would be consistent with the city's intent for areas guided high density residential
to provide for multifamily housing.
In the RLM district, the listed housing types, permitted uses, and lot sizes all align, but the intent
statement references a maximum density of eight units per acre. While that is the correct maximum
density when the RLM district is applied to a property guided for medium density residential, the
RLM district can also be applied to property guided for low density residential which has a
maximum density of four units per acre. Since the RLM's intent statement only references the eight
unit per acre maximum, it creates the impression that the RLM zoning always permits development
at up to that density, regardless of land use guidance.

land guided residentialJow or medium density in the city's Comprehensive Plan. In all cases, the
density limits specified by the Comprehensive Plan take precedence and this change would be a
clarification of rather than a change to the city's existing policy.
l) Amend the City Code to remove the mention of detached single-family residential
developments from the R-8 district's intent statement, remove twin homes and their
associated standards from the R-l2 district's list of permitted uses, and clariff the RLM
district's intent statement.
2) Amend the City Code to add single-family home and their associated standards to the R-8

Plat Recording Timeline
FROM:
DATE:
SUBJ:
PROPOSED MOTION:
"The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the
proposed ordinance amending Chapters 18 conceming plat recording."
ISSUE
The city's subdivision ordinance requires that final plats and metes and bounds subdivisions be
recorded within 30 days ofapproval; however, due to circumstances beyond the applicant's
control this is not always possible.
The current language in the Subdivision Ordinance mandates that final plats and metes and bounds
subdivisions be recorded with the Comty Recorder Office within 30 days after receiving City
Council approval. Failure of the applicant to comply with this timeline is listed as cause for
revoking the city's approval. Often, multiple issues arise that are beyond the control of the
applicant, property owner or city, and these issues make meeting the 30{ay deadline impossible.
In practice, the city does not act to revoke the approval when these issues arrive, due to the
understanding that extenuating circumstances happen. That being said, a timeline is required in
order to prevent developers from deliberately delaying recording an approved suMivision to
artificially maintain a lower property tax valuation.
Staff proposes to balance these considerations by extending the timeline to record a plat from 30
days to 120 days, which would make it consistent with the recording timelines established for
other recorded documents under the City Code. Failure to meet that deadline would void the
approval unless a request for time extension is submitted in writing and approved by the City
Council.

Sec. 18-37(c) - This section establishes a 30-day timeline for recording metes and bounds
suMivisions.
Sec. l84l(e) - This section establishes a 30-day timeline for recording final plats.
Sec. 20-30 - This section establishes a 120-day timeline for recording variances, conditional use
permits, interim use permits, site plans, wetland alteration permits, and mining permits. It also
allows the City Council to approve extensions to the 120day timeline.
ANALYSI
Many items approved by the City Council and Planning Commission need to be recorded with
the county. Examples of these documents are variances, conditional and interim use permits, site
plans, wetland alteration permits, mining permits, and plats. All of these items alter how a piece
of property can be used or, in the case ofplats, create new parcels. In order to ensure that
projects move forward in a timely manner and that time sensitive conditions of approval can be
met, the city requires that most of these items be recorded within 120 days ofbeing approved;
however, suMivision approvals, i.e. final plats and metes and bounds, are subject to a 30-day
timeline.
The rationale behind a shorter timeline for suMivision approvals is that dividing one parcel into
multiple parcels can have sigrrificant property tax implications. Typically the total values of the
divided lots is higher than the value of the original undivided lot. ffis can create an incentive for
develop€rs to delay recording until the last possible moment in order to minimize their property
taxes. Since it is in the city's interest to ensure that property is taxed at its actual value and that
subdivisions with their associated infrastructure and public improvements move forward in a
timely manner, a 30day timeline was established.
While the rationale behind wanting to require prompt filing makes sense, experience has shown
that there are often circumstances that arise beyond anyone's control that render the 30-day
timeline untenable. Many different entities are involved in the recording process including the
city, the city's attomey, the applicant's attomey, county recorder, banks, and, in some instances,
neighbhoring property owners. Any ofthese organizations can discover issues that delay the
recording ofa plat. For example, a bank or title company may express concem over issues with
documentation from a previous mortgage recorded against the property. In some cases,
individuals have passed during the subdivision process and delays associated with probates
oftice have created difficulties. Any ofthese or other unforeseen complications can cause
significant delays and prevent the applicant from meeting the 30-day requirement.
In practice, the city does not typically choose to revoke approval after the 30-day period passes;
however, the City Code does not establish a process for extending the deadline. Given the
frequency with which applicant's exceed the 30-day period, staff believes it would make sense to
extend the deadline to 120 days and allow for the applicant to request an extension from the City

Council in cases where the 120-day period is untenable. This timeline and extension policy
would be consistent with how other approvals are treated, and would still accomplish the city's
goal of ensuring the prompt recording of approved suMivisions.
ALTERNATIVES
I ) No action. The city can choose not to revoke the approval in cases where there is good
reason for the delay, and the 30-day rule encourages a prompt filing.
2) Amend the City Code to allow applicants 120 days to record and allow for applicants to
request an extension in extenuating circumstances.
Staff recommends Alternative 2 which will establish the same timeline and extension procedures
for all recorded documents.
The proposed amendments would read as follows:
Sec. 18-37. - Exemption.
(c) Upon approval ofan administrative or metes and bounds subdivision, the city shall notifr
the applicant of the approval and within 30 120 days thereafter the applicant or the city
attomey shall file the documents with the county recorder and fumish the city evidence of
such recording. Failure to comply shall be cause for revoking the city's approval, unless a
request for an extension is submitted in writing and approved by the City Council,
Sec. 18-41. - Final plat-Generally.
(e) Upon approval of the final plat by the city council, the city shall notiff the applicant of the
approval and within 30 120 days thereafter, the applicant or the city attomey shall file the final
plat with the county recorder and fumish the city evidence of such recording. Failure of the
applicant to comply shall be cause for revoking the city's approval, unless a request for an

Subject Resolution No. 2021XX: Accept Bids and Award Contract for the 2021 Sealcoat Project
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: D.6.
Prepared By Erik Henricksen, Project Engineer File No: Project No. 202104
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council adopts a resolution accepting bids and awarding a contract for the 2021 Sealcoat Project to
Allied Blacktop Company for roadway sealcoating in the amount of $49,670.00.”
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
Annually, the city has completed a sealcoat project to extend the life of its streets. The Pavement Management
Program identified the streets in the project for maintenance this year. Staff visited each street to visually review the
pavement condition and confirm sealcoating is required.
DISCUSSION
A sealcoat program is a costeffective tool to protect the capital asset of a street and extend the life of the street
system. Sealcoating is the application of asphalt emulsion (oil) followed immediately with an aggregate cover (rock).
Sealcoating of streets is beneficial because it:
Can delay or eliminate further aging of pavement due to water and sun
Seals the surface to provide a moisture barrier
Fills in raveled pavement areas
Seals smaller cracks temporarily or permanently
Performs minor leveling
Restores surface friction to improve wheel grip
Economically prolongs the life of existing pavements
It is estimated that a sealcoat application extends the life of pavement from three to six years at a fraction of the cost of
street rehabilitations or reconstructions. As such, it is more cost effective to sealcoat roadways when fewer pavement
distresses are present versus letting the pavement deteriorate until major, costly rehabilitation or reconstruction
projects are required.
BIDS RECIEVED
City staff solicited bids by advertising in the local newspaper and QuestCDN three weeks prior to the bid opening.

*Indicates low grand total bidder
Allied Blacktop Company has completed previous projects in the City of Chanhassen. Their past work has been
acceptable. Sealcoating activities will tentatively start this summer for streets. City staff will send out notifications to all
affected property owners prior to work commencing.
This project was budgeted for 2021 in the CIP Pavement Management Program (ST018). Beyond sealcoating, the
funds in this budget item are used for many pavement related items such as pothole patching, trails and parking lots, in
house pavement maintenance, pavement markings, bridges and ADA improvements. Due to the competing needs of
this fund, our annual appropriation for sealcoating was reduced in 2021 to a budget of $70,000.

Subject Award Contract for Pothole Patching
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: D.7.
Prepared By Charlie Howley, Public Works
Director/City Engineer
File No: CIP ST018
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council approves a NotToExceed Contract of $50,000 to Northwest Asphalt, Inc. for 2021 pothole
patching.”
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
SUMMARY
Every year, the City must perform pothole patching on our bituminous streets as a maintenance activity in order to
provide a level of service expected by our citizens and other traveling public. The amount of patching work is directly
proportional to the Overall Condition Index (OCI) of our street network.
BACKGROUND
The Streets Division of the Public Works Department solicited quotes for a daily rate for performing pothole patching
based on completing repairs on the streets as shown on the attached map. Two (2) quotes were returned, as
summarized below. Northwest Asphalt was the low quote.
Contractor Quote
Northwest Asphalt $ 5,480/Day + $100/Ton of Mix
Bituminous Roadways $ 6,280/Day + $150/Ton of Mix
DISCUSSION
The use of a contractor to supplement the City's selfperformed pothole patching work was begun last year, with great
cost effectiveness and timeliness of completion. Last year, we had a goal of completing all pothole patching work by
August 15, and by utilizing contractor services for some of the high profile areas, along with favorable weather, we

Subject Recreation Center Capital Improvement Wall Replacement
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: D.8.
Prepared By Jodi Sarles, Recreation Center Manager File No:
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council approves the attached proposal from Hufcor in the amount of $67,600 to replace Recreation
Center meeting room walls."
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
SUMMARY
Replacement of the Recreation Center moveable meeting room walls is included in the 2021 Capital Improvement
Program. Staff sent out three requests and has received two proposals to review.
BACKGROUND
The Recreation Center moveable walls in the four community meeting rooms are original to the facility. These walls
allow the Rec Center to be multipurpose, providing functional community space for small or large gatherings
depending on event needs. The current Modernfold Wall System was installed in 1995 when the Recreation Center
opened.
Over the course of 26 years, the walls have been moved daily. The seals, tracks, wallcovering, and inner mechanisms
are failing, causing the soundproofing to fail as well. This creates a hardship to both customers and staff. Multiple
service calls are required annually to maintain current operations.
The CIP Budget of $80,000 has been allocated for the Recreation Center Wall replacement. Staff contacted three
companies to submit proposals; Acoustic Associates, Hufcor, and W.L. Hall Company. W.L. Hall and Hufcor
submitted the attached quotes; Acoustic Associates elected not to submit a quote.
The scope of the project includes removal and disposal of existing walls and replacement of the three walls with a
minimum of 50 STC (Sound Transmission Class rating) soundproofing, replacement of tracks, and reconstruction of
the soffits.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends accepting the proposal from Hufcor in the amount of $67,600 to fully replace the current walls with
a Hufcor 600 series system (STC rating of 52) and soffit repair.

Project Breakdown with Concrete Timeline Dates
McGrath Human Resources Group takes pride in meeting its time commitments. We acknowledge the
City’s goal to have this project completed by May 1, 2021 and we do our best to meet the timeframe
needs of our clients. The timeliness of the market data collection is heavily dependent upon the
workload and staffing of the comparable organizations we are asking to participate, and COVID has
caused noticeable delays in survey participation/timely responses this past year.
With all those factors in mind, there are defined milestones throughout the process where we will be
sharing information about where the City stands in relation to the comparable market and can give
preliminary budget numbers before the entire project is complete and presented.
The consulting team is prepared to start the project immediately. Therefore, we recommend the
following:

impact this schedule that may be out of the control of the consultants. The proposed time frame is
contingent upon timely receipt of data from the City, timely participation from external comparable
organizations; and timely receipt of information and/or feedback from the City. This is monitored by
the consulting team and communicated with the City on an ongoing basis.
COVID-19 Modifications to Our Site Visit Plans
We understand the concern and uncertainty, as well as resource re-allocation challenges you may be
experiencing around the evolving situation, and we are committed to being responsive and flexible to
meet our customers' needs. We are adhering to CDC recommendations as well as national and state
orders regarding social distancing, travel recommendations, protective gear, etc. We can accommodate
onsite or remote site visits, with fluid scheduling as conditions change.

development, training, policy development, operational studies, and staffing studies. Our Human
Resources team is also involved in organizational studies related to public safety. This is important
because we have found that having professional expertise in public safety is beneficial in public sector
compensation studies to better address the unique laws and best practices these professions add to
most public-sector compensation systems.

offer practical and sustainable options for a compensation system that addresses your needs

work with your stakeholders to make a sound investment that w ill benefit the City.
❖ Our consulting team is comprised of individuals with previous local government experience.

knowledge of climates where those approaches usually succeed to help us tailor the best system

compensation system that makes sense philosophically and fiscally for your organization.

Support and Communications
❖ Provide a cost estimate and implementation options based on the City’s fiscal abilities.
❖ Review and recommend compensation policy and procedure changes that will assure
consistent implementation and application of comp ensation.
❖ Provide a plan for the City to provide on-going maintenance of the system

❖ Support implementation of approved compensation system.
Methods and Procedures
After reviewing your request, we propose utilizing our McGrath 360Comp™ process. Our
methodology and approach are characterized by a systematic, logical series of tasks aimed at
assuring thoroughness, consistency, and objectivity. The proposal steps can be discussed and
adjusted to meet the projects needs for the City of Chanhassen.
1. Project Orientation
Immediately upon completion of the services contract, the consultants will communicate with
the City’s project designee to provide a list of documents and data needed to begin the project
and schedule the project kickoff site visit (virtual or in person). During the first visit, the
consultants meet with the project oversight team and all Department Directors to:
❖ Explore your organization’s current compensation system and compensation philosophy.
❖ Gain an understanding of the goals, values and structure of the overall organization.
❖ Gather information for each individual department including any unique responsibilities
associated with positions, strengths and weaknesses of the current system, or issues with
recruitment/retention.
❖ Identify comparable organizations and benchmark positions for the compensation survey.
❖ Review provided documents and data.
❖ Determine project communication expectations and strategies, project timeline, and
identifiable milestones.
❖ (Optional) Conduct introductory employee meeting to explain the process of a
compensation study, introduce the consulting team, expected process, describe the
general outcome of the Study, and other related topics as desired by the City.
2. Compensation Analysis Phase
External Market Survey. McGrath consultants will prepare and conduct a tailored compensation
special pay, and benefits survey specifically for this project. Data will be solicited for
benchmarked positions and analyzed to determine the organization’s relative position in the
comparable market both on the whole as well as by job classifications.
City of Chanhassen, Minnesota – Classification and Compensation System Study
17 | P a g e
Establishing Comparable Organizations. A list of public sectors comparable organizations will be
developed cooperatively between the City and the consulting team. Criteria for comparable
organizations include entities within the region, organizations of similar size, popul ation,
services, etc. For a few positions, comparables may be more far-reaching due to specialized skills
or department director level positions. The goal is to establish a comprehensive list of
organizations that are similar in scope and/or in job responsibilities with whom the organization
is competing to attract and retain employees. The City will have input into the list and must
approve the list of comparables prior to starting the external market survey.
Benchmarking. We do not desire to restrict the number of benchmarked positions, but at the
same time, do not want the survey to be so burdensome as to prohibit it s completion by the
participants. We will attempt to obtain data on as many of the City’s classifications as possible.
Salary Data Analysis. When data is received through the market survey, the consultants will
analyze the salary data and identify any trends or areas of concern regarding the City’s current
salary as compared to the Market. The market survey collects minimum, midpoint, ma ximum,
and incumbent salary information for each benchmark position; and other data points as needed.
A statistical analysis is conducted on each dataset to ensure consistent and objective analysis.
The outcome is then calculated into a ratio between the market and the City to measure the
City’s alignment against the market.
Current Salary Schedule Analysis/Pay/Compression Analysis. We will examine the status of your
current compensation system. We analyze the structures, special pays, and conduct a
compression analysis and incumbent pay analysis. Not only will this analysis give guidance to the
consultants for compensation and implementation recommendations, but it will also provide
information to the City regarding overtime, promotional and retention opportunities, and
internal equity.
Compensation-Related Policy Review. The consultants will review your compensation-related
policies for compliance and best practices. We will make recommendations for policy updates or
considerations that impact the City.
3. Classification Analysis (Job Evaluation) Phase
Position Questionnaire. Shortly after the first site visit, the McGrath 360Comp™ Position
Questionnaire (PQ) will be provided to the City for distribution. This is a standardized tool used
to analyze each position on identified factors. A sample PQ has been provided.
This job analysis process is critical not only for internal equity, but also the establishment of a
standardized process to establish pay equity between positions . The McGrath 360Comp™
Position Questionnaire (PQ) is a standardized tool used to analyze each position on identified
factors. We have designed our PQ specifically for use in public sector organizations. This
Questionnaire will be completed on all job titles for purposes of:
City of Chanhassen, Minnesota – Classification and Compensation System Study
18 | P a g e
❖ Expounding upon information provided in job descriptions to accommodate factors
included in a formal job evaluation plan.
❖ Evaluating position responsibilities regarding necessary competencies, experience,
education, finances, judgement, decision-making and other expectations which provide
value to the City.
❖ Clarifying instances where statements in the existing job descriptions are vague or absent.
❖ Updating job descriptions.
❖ Reviewing FLSA exemption status.
Job Analysis. We use the point factor system to complete the position classification analysis for
each City position. We go beyond the typical “Knowledge, Skills and Abilities” (KSA’s) and explore
factors that are unique to public sector positions including the following aspects of a job:
❖ Records, Reports and Programs ❖ Complexity and Judgment
❖ Impact of Decisions and Consequents of Errors ❖ Confidential Data
❖ Contact with Others (both inside and outside the
organization)
❖ Stress (degree of mental or emotional fatigue or
stress inherent to the job)
❖ Equipment, Machines and Tools ❖ Technology
❖ Budget, Financial, and Cash Handling ❖ Leadership and Supervisory Responsibilities
❖ Education, Experience, Licensure/Certifications ❖ Work Environment and Physical Requirements
From this process, the current classification system can be updated, as needed.
The point factor system for job analysis is teachable, so our clients can continue to use this
methodology on their own should they choose. Compensation systems are more likely to be kept
up-to-date and relevant which extends the lifecycle of a plan with this tool.
4. McGrath 360Comp™ Integration
Findings and Recommendations. Upon completion of the market survey analysis and the job
analysis, the consultants will make a site visit (virtual or in person) to:
❖ Confirm the recommended compensation philosophy.
❖ Discuss the data obtained and share the findings and trends found in the analysis as it
compares to the current Compensation System.
❖ Discuss the future compensation and classification system.
❖ Discuss the tie between the compensation system and performance.
The consultants will make recommendations based on our observations and experience with
input from the City regarding previous experiences with a specific system, unique positions that
might lend themselves better to one system over another, and City administration’s professional
opinions on which system is more sustainable for the organization moving forward. After this
meeting, the direction for the future Classification and Compensation System will be finalized .
City of Chanhassen, Minnesota – Classification and Compensation System Study
19 | P a g e
5. Compensation Systems Update/Development
City Input. Once the System is updated or redeveloped, the consultants will meet with
appropriate City personnel to review the draft Compensation System. This third site visit will
include meetings with a representative of Human Resources and each Department Director to
review placements within the Compensation System to identify any concerns prior to finalization.
This provides an opportunity to discuss any changes in placement in the current system and/or
ensure proper placement if the Systems are redesigned.
Fiscal Impact/Implementation Strategy. The consultants will have developed the initial detailed
fiscal impact of the Compensation Systems for this meeting. The consultants will present
implementation strategy options that fit the fiscal needs, culture, and compensation philosophy
of the City. While some entities can fully implement the compensation system immediately,
some clients have utilized a phased approach. We will work with the City to assure that any
phased approach fits with best practices and your fiscal realities.
Compliance. The Compensation Systems will then be tested for compliance with the State of
Minnesota’s pay equity law.
6. Finalization
Content of Work Product. Upon finalization of the project, the City will receive the
Compensation System and fiscal impact documents in Excel format for the City to
maintain/integrate going forward. The City will also receive final reports, described below. A
sample report has also been provided. Keep in mind, the recommendations in the report may
not be indicative of recommendations for the City of Chanhassen.
Draft and Final Report Preparation. McGrath Human Resources typically develops the following

7. Communication

well as administration, department leadership and bargaining units as coordinated by the City.
Introduction to Employees. As shared throughout the project steps, there are many
opportunities to engage all levels of staff in the study’s processes, which is discussed at the onset
of the project. Each client has different requests for employee communication during the proje ct
and implementation. We are prepared to develop and delive r information to the depth, and in
the manner, you prefer and offer guidance and recommendations. We prepare correspondence
and notices tailored to our client, whether for written, verbal or electronic presentation.
8. Ongoing Support

with the tools to be able to manage their Compensation System as independently as our clients’
desire. In addition to policy recommendations, we provide to manage the Compensation System,
we offer to teach you the tools needed to maintain the Compensation Plan in -house going
forward, if desired.
Some clients prefer that McGrath Human Resources continue as the source to resolve current
and future pay grade placements rather than in-house. This can be done for a nominal fee
depending upon the time involved in the placement. Whether it is done by McGrath Human
Resources or the City will be at the discretion of the City.
9. Performance Evaluation
At the onset of the project, the current performance evaluation forms and process will be
reviewed to provide recommendations for updates. If the City desires a redevelopment of the
performance management process, we recommend a process to offer elected official, supervisor,
City of Chanhassen, Minnesota – Classification and Compensation System Study
21 | P a g e
and employee feedback to have a stronger buy-in to a revised performance appraisal process and
can work with designees from the City to develop a new process.
Training for supervisors on updates processes and performance management best practices is
crucial to successful performance management. McGrath can also develop a training module
developed based on the individual needs of the organization. Employee training on the
performance evaluation process is also recommended for success.
10. Job Descriptions
Although the classification updates will be determined during the Study, a fter approval of the
compensation plan, position titles and pay ranges will be confirmed and available for the revising
and rewriting of job descriptions. The Firm can either update the current job descriptions in their
current format, or the Firm can completely rewrite all job descriptions with a tailored yet
standardized and compliant format to meet the needs and desires of your organization.

Typically, travel is included in the total cost; however, since in-person site visits may not be
feasible due to COVID, travel expenses will be billed separately – if incurred. This would be
limited to airfare, mileage/car rental, hotel and dinner for a maximum of two (2) consultants. We

agreed upon price and will address these areas. In the event the work is so beyond the scope of
the original project, the Consultant will work with the City to either bill the service at an hourly
rate, plus travel fees; or determine a fixed price. However, no work will begin until an agreement
with the City has been approved.

Wanted to revisit or get more educated on the chicken ordinance and if it would be open to review in the future.
My name is Kelly Davidson and I moved to Chanhassen in 2019 with my family. We previously lived in Duluth and South
Carolina.
I wanted to reach out to you regarding the Chanhassen Chicken ordinance. I see the ordinance was put in place in 2019 and
that it doesn't allow chickens on property less than 1 acre.
When we lived in Duluth we had chickens. We did live on a larger plot of land but the city did allow them with a permit on
smaller properties. I feel there were a lot of great benefits to keeping them and in Duluth it was very neighbor friendly.
Knowing that the ordinance is very new I am wondering if there would be an opportunity to talk more on the subject or what
would be the process to talk more about this.
I don't want to say challenge the ordinance because that is not what I am suggesting. But I am looking at a more robust
ordinance that would allow more people to allow small chickens flocks in the future.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Subject Resolution No. 2021XX: Modification to the Development Program for the Downtown
Chanhassen Redevelopment Project Area and Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District
No. 12
Section PUBLIC HEARINGS Item No: H.1.
Prepared By Kate Aanenson, AICP, Community
Development Director
File No:
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council approves the attached resolution adopting a modification to the Redevelopment Plan for the
Downtown Chanhassen Redevelopment Project area and approves a Tax Increment Finance Plan for Tax Increment
Financing District No. 12."
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
SUMMARY
The City Council will hold a public hearing on the modification to the Development Program for the Downtown
Chanhassen Redevelopment Project Area and Establishment of Tax Increment Financing, and will consider a
resolution approving the TIF Plan documents and establishing TIF District No.12.
BACKGROUND
Todd Simning proposed an apartment building on the last lot of the Powers Ridge Development. The developer
requested additional units as a density bonus. Approval of these units is contingent upon providing 50 affordable units
at 60% of the area's medium income. On January 25, 2021, the City Council approved a site plan for the Lakes at
Chanhassen subject to providing 50 units of affordable housing.
On March 8, 2021, the city’s EDA reviewed the TIF Plan documents. The developer is requesting approval of the TIF
District to provide the affordability requirement. There were questions raised by the EDA that were requested to
be addressed at the public hearing. These questions included affordable housings needs, rental and income limits.
DISCUSSION
The Housing Chapter of the city's 2040 Comprehensive Plan demonstrates the need for affordable senior housing. There
had been no affordable senior housing built in the city since 2002 when the Presbyterian Homes TIF District included 35
of the 90 independent units affordable. That project also included 71 assistedliving units.
The Comprehensive Plan includes the need for 580 adult rental units and 285 affordable units. The Lakes of
Unit sq. ft.Number of Units Number of Bedrooms Rent

These questions included affordable housings needs, rental and income limits.DISCUSSIONThe Housing Chapter of the city's 2040 Comprehensive Plan demonstrates the need for affordable senior housing. Therehad been no affordable senior housing built in the city since 2002 when the Presbyterian Homes TIF District included 35of the 90 independent units affordable. That project also included 71 assistedliving units.
The Comprehensive Plan includes the need for 580 adult rental units and 285 affordable units. The Lakes of
Chanhassen will create 50 affordable units.
The developer's proforma demonstrates that the project meets the rental income limits by bedroom size. Household
income levels will very by the developers as part the rental agreement. An annual report by the developer is required
to ensure they are complying with income limits for Carver County.

MOTION: SECONDED BY:
RESOLUTION ADOPTING A MODIFICATION TO THE EDEVELOPMENT PLAN
FOR THE DOWNTOWN CHANHASSEN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
AND APPROVING A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 12
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Chanhassen,
Minnesota (the “City”), as follows:
Section 1. Recitals
1.01. The Board of Commissioners of the Chanhassen Economic Development Authority
(the “EDA”) has heretofore established the Downtown Chanhassen Redevelopment Project Area
(the “Project Area”) and adopted the Redevelopment Plan therefor. It has been proposed by the EDA
that the City approve and the EDA adopt a Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for the Project
Area (the “Redevelopment Plan Modification”) and a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the “TIF
Plan”) for the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 12 (the “District”) therein (the
Redevelopment Plan Modification and the TIF Plan are referred to collectively herein as the
“Plans”); all pursuant to and in conformity with applicable law, including Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 469.090 to 469.1082 and Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, all inclusive, as amended, (the
“Act”) all as reflected in the Plans, and presented for the Council’s consideration.
1.02. The EDA and City have investigated the facts relating to the Plans and have caused
the Plans to be prepared.
1.03. The EDA and City have performed all actions required by law to be performed prior
to the establishment of the District and the adoption and approval of the proposed Plans, including,
but not limited to, notification of Carver County and Independent School District No. 112 having
taxing jurisdiction over the property to be included in the District, a review of and written comment
on the Plans by the City Planning Commission, adoption of the Plans by the EDA on March 8,
2021, and the holding of a public hearing upon published notice as required by law.
1.04. Certain written reports (the ‘‘Reports”) relating to the Plans and the activities
contemplated therein have heretofore been prepared by staff and consultants and submitted to the
Council and/or made a part of the City files and proceedings on the Plans. The Reports include data,
information and/or substantiation constituting or relating to the basis for the other findings and
determinations made in this resolution. The Council hereby confirms, ratifies and adopts the
Reports, which are hereby incorporated into and made as fully a part of this resolution to the same
extent as if set forth in full herein.
2
CH135\62\708438.v2
1.05 The City is not modifying the boundaries of the Project Area, but is, however,
modifying the Redevelopment Plan to include activities related to the District.
Section 2. Findings for the Adoption and Approval of the Plans.
2.01. The Council hereby finds that the Plans are intended and, in the judgment of this
Council, the effect of such actions will be, to provide an impetus for development in the public
interest and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Plans, which are hereby incorporated
herein.
Section 3. Findings for the Establishment of the District
3.01. The Council hereby finds that the District is in the public interest and is a “housing
district” under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 11 of the Act.
3.02. The Council further finds that the proposed redevelopment would not occur solely
through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future, that the TIF Plan conforms to
the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole; and that the TIF Plan
will afford maximum opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the
development or redevelopment of the District by private enterprise.
3.03. The Council further finds, declares and determines that the City made the above
findings stated in this Section and has set forth the reasons and supporting facts for each
determination in writing, attached hereto as Exhibit A.
3.04. The EDA elects to calculate fiscal disparities for the District in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b, which means any fiscal disparities
contribution would be taken from inside the District.
Section 4. Public Purpose
4.01. The approval of the Plans conforms in all respects to the requirements of the Act and
will help fulfill a need to develop an area of the City which is already built up, to provide housing
opportunities, to improve the tax base and to improve the general economy of the State and thereby
serves a public purpose. For the reasons described in Exhibit A, the City believes these benefits
directly derive from the tax increment assistance provided under the TIF Plan. A private developer
will receive only the assistance needed to make this development financially feasible. As such, any
private benefits received by a developer are incidental and do not outweigh the primary public
benefits.
Section 5. Approval and Adoption of the Plans
5.01. The Plans, as presented to the Council on this date, including without limitation the
findings and statements of objectives contained therein, are hereby approved, ratified, established,
and adopted and shall be placed on file in the office of the Community Development Director.
3
CH135\62\708438.v2
5.02. The staff of the City, the City’s advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed
to proceed with the implementation of the Plans and to negotiate, draft, prepare and present to this
Council for its consideration all further plans, resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for
this purpose.
5.03 The Auditor of Carver County is requested to certify the original net tax capacity of
the District, as described in the Plans, and to certify in each year thereafter the amount by which the
original net tax capacity has increased or decreased; and the EDA is authorized and directed to
forthwith transmit this request to the County Auditor in such form and content as the Auditor may
specify, together with a list of all properties within the District, for which building permits have been
issued during the 18 months immediately preceding the adoption of this resolution.
5.04. The EDA Executive Director is further authorized and directed to file a copy of the
Plans with the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Revenue and the Office of the State
Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 469.175, Subd. 4a.
Passed and adopted by the Chanhassen City Council this 22nd day of March, 2021.

EXHIBIT A
RESOLUTION NO. 2021-XX
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the approval of the Tax Increment Financing
Plan (TIF Plan) for Tax Increment Financing District No. 12, as required pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 are as follows:
1. Finding that Tax Increment Financing District No. 12 is a housing district as defined in
M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 11.
Tax Increment Financing District No. 12 consists of one (1) parcel and its internal and adjacent
rights-of-way. The development will consist of a new 110-unit mixed-income senior housing
apartment facility in the city, all or a portion of which will receive tax increment assistance and
will meet income restrictions described in M.S. 469.1761. At least 40 percent of the units receiving
assistance will have incomes at or below 60 percent of area median income.
2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not
reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably
foreseeable future.
This finding is supported by the fact that the development proposed in this plan is a housing district
that meets the City’s objectives for development and redevelopment and is intended for occupancy,
in part, by low and moderate-income persons. At least 40% of the assisted housing units are
intended to be income restricted. Due to decreased rental income from affordable units, there is
insufficient cash flow to provide a sufficient rate of return, pay operating expenses, and service the
debt necessary to develop the housing. This leaves a gap in the funding for the project and makes
this housing development feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax increment financing.
The necessity of public assistance is true for most affordable housing development in Minnesota.
The developer was asked for and provided a letter and a proforma outlining project source and
uses as well as projected rent, vacancy and financing assumptions. City staff and the City’s
advisors reviewed the information and have determined the project is not feasible without the
proposed assistance due anticipated rent levels and market returns not supporting the development
costs for the site. Based on the review, the City does not expect that a development of this type
would occur in the reasonably foreseeable future but-for the use of tax increment assistance.
3. Finding that the TIF Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 12 conforms to the
general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Planning Commission reviewed the TIF Plan on March 2, 2021 and approved a
recommendation to the City Council that the TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for
development or redevelopment of the City.
4. Finding that the TIF Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 12 will afford
maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development
A-2
CH135\62\708438.v2
or redevelopment of the Downtown Chanhassen Redevelopment Project Area by private
enterprise.
Through the implementation of the TIF Plan, the City will provide an impetus for
residential development, which is desirable and necessary for providing for an increased
population and increased need for life-cycle housing within the City.

more fully implement the goals and objectives thereof, all pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections

Section 3.5. No Business Subsidy. The Public Assistance offered to the Developer under
this Agreement and the Note is related to the construction of housing and therefore is not a

ARTICLE IV
Construction of Minimum Improvements
Section 4.1. Construction of Minimum Improvements. The Developer agrees that it will
construct the Minimum Improvements on the Development Property in accordance with the
Preliminary Plans and the Construction Plans. The Developer acknowledges that, in addition to
the requirements of this Agreement, construction of the Minimum Improvements will necessitate
compliance with the City Approvals and possibly approvals by other governmental agencies. To
the extent such approvals have not already been obtained, the Developer agrees to submit in a
timely manner all applications for and pursue to their conclusion all other approvals needed prior
to constructing the Minimum Improvements.
Section 4.2. Preliminary Plans and Construction Plans. (a) The Developer has submitted
and the EDA has approved the Preliminary Plans listed in Exhibit B attached hereto. Prior to
beginning construction on the Minimum Improvements, the Developer shall submit dated
Construction Plans to the EDA. The Construction Plans shall provide for the construction of the
Minimum Improvements and shall be in substantial conformity with the Preliminary Plans and this
Agreement. The EDA will approve the Construction Plans if they (1) are consistent with the
Preliminary Plans; (2) conform to all applicable federal, State and local laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations; (3) are adequate to provide for the construction of the Minimum Improvements; (4)
conform to the State building code; and (5) if there has occurred no uncured Event of Default on
the part of the Developer. Except as otherwise set forth herein, no approval by the EDA shall
relieve the Developer of the obligation to comply with the terms of this Agreement and the terms
of all applicable federal, State and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations in the construction
9
CH135\62\706685.v3
of the Minimum Improvements. Except as otherwise set forth herein, no approval by the EDA
shall constitute a waiver of an Event of Default. The EDA shall use good faith efforts to review
the Construction Plans and either approve or reject them in writing within 15 business days after
receipt. Any rejection, in whole or in part, shall set forth in detail the reasons for rejection.
(b) No more than 20 percent of the square footage of the Minimum Improvements shall
consist of commercial, retail or other non-residential uses.
(c) If the Developer desires to make any Material Change in the Construction Plans
after approval, the Developer shall submit the proposed change to the EDA for its approval. If the
proposed change is consistent with the Preliminary Plans or is otherwise acceptable to the EDA
and meets all other requirements of section 4.2(a) above, the EDA shall approve the proposed
change. Such change in the Construction Plans shall be deemed approved by the EDA unless
rejected within the required 10 business day period, in whole or in part, by written notice by the
EDA to the Developer, setting forth in detail the reasons for rejection. Such rejection shall be
made within 15 business days after receipt by the EDA of the written notice of such change from
the Developer.
Section 4.3. Commencement and Completion of Construction. Subject to Unavoidable
Delays, the Developer shall commence construction of the Minimum Improvements by no later
than September 1, 2021. All work with respect to the Minimum Improvements to be constructed
or provided by the Developer on the Development Property shall be in conformity with the
Construction Plans. The Developer shall make such reports to the EDA regarding construction of
the Minimum Improvements as the EDA deems necessary or helpful in order to monitor progress
on construction of the Minimum Improvements. The Developer shall have achieved Substantial
Completion of the Minimum Improvements by no later than December 31, 2022.
Section 4.4. Certificate of Completion. (a) After Substantial Completion of the Minimum
Improvements in accordance with the Construction Plans and at the written request of the
Developer, the EDA will, within 20 days thereafter, furnish the Developer with an appropriate
Certificate of Completion so certifying in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto. Such Certificate
of Completion by the EDA shall be a conclusive determination of satisfaction and termination of
the agreements and covenants in this Agreement with respect to the obligations of the Developer
to construct the Minimum Improvements and the dates for the beginning and completion thereof.
(b) The Certificate of Completion shall be in such form set forth in Exhibit C and as
will enable it to be recorded in the proper County office for the recordation of deeds and other
instruments pertaining to the Development Property. If the EDA shall refuse to provide a
Certificate of Completion in accordance with the provisions of this section 4.4, the EDA shall
promptly notify Developer within the same 20 day period following receipt of request by the
Developer for the Certificate of Completion, and such notification from the EDA shall include a
written statement, indicating in adequate detail in what respects the Developer has failed to
complete the relevant portion of the Minimum Improvements in accordance with the Construction
Plans and what measures or acts will be necessary, in the opinion of the EDA, for the Developer
to take or perform in order to obtain such certification. If the EDA fails to issue such a written
statement within such 20-day period, the EDA shall be deemed to have waived its right to do so
10
CH135\62\706685.v3
and shall be deemed to have issued a Certificate of Completion to the Developer. The Developer
shall have 60 days following receipt of the EDA’s written response to cure or agree to terms with
the EDA regarding issues to be resolved prior to the Developer obtaining a Certification of
Completion from the EDA.
Section 4.5. Declaration Regarding Income Restrictions; Qualification of the TIF District.
The Developer agrees that the Minimum Improvements will be subject to the following tenant
income restrictions:
(a) The Developer will cause 50 (44%) or more of the Rental Housing Units in the
Minimum Improvements to be occupied by Qualifying Tenants whose household income is 60
percent or less of the area median gross income, all as further described in the Declaration attached
hereto as Exhibit F. Prior to any payment under the Note, the Developer will deliver the executed
Declaration to the EDA in recordable form.
(b) As a condition to initial and continuing occupancy, each person who is intended to
be a Qualifying Tenant will be required annually to sign and deliver to the Developer a certification
in which the prospective Qualifying Tenant certifies as to his or her income. In addition, the person
will be required to provide whatever other information, documents, or certifications are reasonably
deemed necessary by the Executive Director of the EDA to substantiate his or her income, on an
ongoing annual basis, and to verify that the tenant continues to be a Qualifying Tenant.
Certifications will be maintained on file by the Developer with respect to each Qualifying Tenant
who resides in a Rental Housing Unit or resided therein during the immediately preceding calendar
year.
(c) The form of lease to be utilized by the Developer in renting any Rental Housing
Unit to any person who is intended to be a Qualifying Tenant will provide for termination of the
lease and consent by the person to immediate eviction for failure to qualify as a Qualifying Tenant
as a result of any material misrepresentation made by the person with respect to income.
(d) On or before April 15 of each year during the term of the Declaration, commencing
on the first April 15 after issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the Developer must submit
evidence of tenant incomes, showing that at least 50 (44%) of the Rental Housing Units meet the
income restrictions set forth in the Declaration. The EDA will review the submitted evidence
related to the income restrictions required by Section 469.1761 of the TIF Act to determine that
the TIF District remains qualified as a housing district under the TIF Act.
(e) While the covenants in this Section 4.5 are in effect, the EDA and its representatives
will have the right at all reasonable times, and after reasonable notice, to inspect and to examine
and copy all books and records of the Developer and its successors and assigns relating to the
covenants described in this Section 4.5 and in the Declaration.
(f) The Developer acknowledges that the primary purpose for requiring compliance by
the Developer with the rental restrictions provided in this Agreement and the Declaration is to
ensure compliance of the Minimum Improvements with the income covenants set forth herein and
the continued eligibility of TIF District No. 12 as a housing tax increment financing district under
11
CH135\62\706685.v3
the TIF Act. If prior to the Termination Date the EDA reasonably determines, based on the reports
submitted by the Developer or, if the EDA receives notice from the State Department of Revenue,
the State Auditor any Tax Official or any court of competent jurisdiction that the TIF District does
not qualify or no longer qualifies as a housing district due to action or inaction of the Developer,
such event will be deemed an Event of Default by the Developer under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the EDA may not terminate this Agreement so long as the determination is being
contested in good faith and has not been finally adjudicated. In addition to any remedies available
to the EDA under Article VIII hereof, the Developer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
EDA for any damages or costs resulting therefrom, including any Tax Increment the EDA may be
required or agrees to repay as a result of any action taken under section 469.1771 of the TIF Act
for violation of said Act relating to disqualification of the TIF District.
(g) The Developer covenants and agrees that the Developer will cause or require as a
condition precedent to any conveyance, transfer, assignment, or any other disposition of the
Minimum Improvements prior to the Termination Date that the transferee assume in writing, in a
form acceptable to the EDA, all duties and obligations of the Developer under this section 4.5
regarding income restrictions and verification of Qualified Tenants by means of an assumption
agreement acceptable to the EDA. The Developer will deliver an executed copy of the assumption
agreement to the EDA prior to the transfer.
Section 4.6. Senior Housing. The Developer agrees the one hundred percent of the Rental
Housing Units must be occupied by at least one person who is at least 55 years of age of the time
of initial occupancy. This restriction shall terminate no earlier than the Termination Date.
ARTICLE V
Insurance
Section 5.1. Insurance. The Developer or its general contractor will provide and maintain
at all times during the process of constructing the Minimum Improvements a Special Form Basis
Insurance Policy and, from time to time during that period, at the request of the EDA no more
frequently than once annually, furnish the EDA with proof of payment of premiums on policies
covering the following:
(1) Builder’s risk insurance, written on the so-called “Builder’s Risk –
Completed Value Basis,” in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the
insurable value of the applicable portion of the Minimum Improvements at the date of
completion, and with coverage available in reporting form on the so-called “special” form
of policy;
(2) Commercial general liability insurance (including operations, contingent
liability, operations of subcontractors, completed operations and contractual liability
insurance) with limits against bodily injury and property damage of not less than
$2,000,000 for each occurrence (to accomplish the above-required limits, an umbrella
excess liability policy may be used); and
(3) Workers’ compensation insurance, with statutory coverage.
12
CH135\62\706685.v3
Section 5.2. Evidence of Insurance. All insurance required in this Article V of this
Agreement must be taken out and maintained in responsible insurance companies selected by the
Developer which are authorized under the laws of Minnesota to assume the risks covered thereby.
In lieu of separate policies, the Developer may maintain a single policy, blanket or umbrella
policies, or a combination thereof, having the coverage required herein. Upon written request by
the EDA, the Developer agrees to deposit with the EDA a certificate or certificates or binders of
the respective insurers stating that such insurance is in force and effect.
ARTICLE VI
Payment of Taxes; Use of Tax Increment
Section 6.1. Taxes. The Developer agrees that prior to the Termination Date: (i) it will
not seek administrative or judicial review of the applicability of any tax statute determined by any
Tax Official to be applicable to the Minimum Improvements or the Development Property or raise
the inapplicability of any such tax statute as a defense in any proceedings, including delinquent
tax proceedings; (ii) it will not seek administrative or judicial review of the constitutionality of any
tax statute determined by any Tax Official to be applicable to the Minimum Improvements or the
Development Property or raise the unconstitutionality of any such tax statute as a defense in any
proceedings, including delinquent tax proceedings; and (iii) it will not cause a reduction in the
assessed value of the Minimum Improvements or the Development Property through:
(a) willful destruction of the Minimum Improvements or any part thereof;
(b) an application to the commissioner of revenue of the State or to any local taxing
jurisdiction requesting an abatement or deferral of real estate taxes on the Minimum Improvements
or the Development Property;
(c) a transfer of the Minimum Improvements or the Development Property, or any part
thereof, to an entity exempt from the payment of real estate taxes under State law and that entity
applies for tax exemption; or
(d) any other proceedings, whether administrative, legal or equitable, with any
administrative body within the County or the State or with any court of the State or the federal
government.
Section 6.2. Right to Collect Delinquent Taxes and Special Assessments. The Developer
acknowledges that at all times prior to the Termination Date the EDA shall have the right to sue
the Developer or its successors and assigns to collect delinquent real estate taxes and any penalty
or interest thereon and special assessments due on the Development Property or the Minimum
Improvements and to pay over the same as a tax payment to the County auditor. In any such suit
in which the EDA prevails, the EDA shall also be entitled to recover its reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses, including attorney fees.
13
CH135\62\706685.v3
Section 6.3. Housing District; Use of Tax Increment. TIF District No. 12 is a housing tax
increment financing district within the meaning of section 469.174, subd. 11 of the TIF Act.
Except for payments to the Developer as provided for in this Agreement and the Note, the EDA
shall be free to use any Tax Increment it receives from the County with respect to TIF District No.
12 for any purpose for which such increment may lawfully be used under the TIF Act and the EDA
shall have no obligations to the Developer with respect to the use of such Tax Increment.
ARTICLE VII
Restrictions on Sale of Minimum Improvements; Termination of Agreement
Section 7.1. Prohibition Against Sale of Minimum Improvements.
(a) The Developer represents and agrees that its use of the Development Property and
its other undertakings pursuant to the Agreement, are, and will be, used for the purpose of
construction of the Minimum Improvements on the Development Property and not for speculation
in land holding. The Developer represents and agrees that, prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Completion regarding the Minimum Improvements, there shall be no Sale of the Development
Property or the Minimum Improvements constructed thereon nor shall the Developer suffer any
such Sale to be made, without the prior written approval of the EDA; provided however,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer shall be entitled to lease Rental Housing Units of
the Development Property to third parties without the prior written approval of the EDA. As a
condition of approval of any such sale, the EDA shall require, at a minimum, that the proposed
transferee shall have entered into an agreement whereby the transferee expressly assumes all of
the Developer’s obligations under this Agreement. Any such agreement shall include the EDA as
a party and otherwise be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the EDA. No approval
of the EDA shall be needed for any Sale after the issuance of a Certificate of Completion regarding
the Minimum Improvements.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Developer is
authorized, without the approval of EDA, to obtain construction and permanent financing for the
Minimum Improvements and to mortgage the Development Property to provide security for the
construction and permanent financing, and the EDA is authorized to subordinate this Agreement
to such mortgage. In the event of foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other transfer of the
Minimum Improvements or the Development Property as a result of default under such mortgage,
the acquiring party shall not need the approval of the EDA for the transfer and shall not be subject
to the obligations of this Agreement.
(c) After a Certificate of Completion has been issued, Developer or other transferor
may freely, without the approval of EDA, sell or transfer all or any portion of the Minimum
Improvements or the Development Property to any person at any time. In the event that the
Developer or other transferor sells or transfers the Minimum Improvements or the Development
Property or any portion to any person, then, within 15 days after request, the EDA shall
acknowledge and certify certain facts in connection with this Agreement and the status of
obligations of Developer/transferor under this Agreement. The EDA shall provide this
certification to Developer/transferor and any potential buyer or transferee of the Minimum
14
CH135\62\706685.v3
Improvements or the Development Property or any portion. The certification shall reference the
following: (1) that the Developer/transferor and transferee may rely on the representations and
agreements made by the EDA in the certification; (2) the status of the completion of the
construction obligations of the Minimum Improvements; (3) the amount of payments made under
the Note and the outstanding principal balance of the Note, if any, and that any amounts owed
under the Note will be paid to Developer and not the transferee unless the rights under the Note
are specifically assigned to the transferee; (4) that the Developer and not the transferee remains
responsible for construction obligations under this Agreement, and that transferee and any
subsequent owners of the Minimum Improvements or the Development Property are released from
all construction obligations under this Agreement; (5) that the transferee and not the
Developer/transferor shall be responsible for all non-construction obligations under this
Agreement arising subsequent to the sale or transfer of the Minimum Improvements or the
Development Property for the portion of the Development Property owned by the transferee so
long as the transferee has assumed such obligations by written instrument, and that the
Developer/transferor is released from all such non-construction obligations under this Agreement;
and (6) whether or not there exists any defaults, events of default, or conditions which with the
passage of time or giving of notice would constitute a default under this Agreement.
Section 7.2. Termination of Agreement. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date,
the parties agree to execute and record a document terminating this Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII
Events of Default
Section 8.1. Events of Default Defined. Each and every one of the following shall be an
Event of Default under this Agreement:
(a) Failure by the Developer to seek approval from the EDA, the City and other entities

that if a Certificate of Completion is issued by the EDA, such failure shall no longer be an Event
of Default;
(b) Failure of the Developer to pay real estate taxes or special assessments on the
Minimum Improvements or the Development Property as they become due;
(c) Failure by the Developer to commence and completion construction of the
Minimum Improvements pursuant to the terms, conditions and limitations of Article IV of this
Agreement, including the timing thereof, unless such failure is caused by an Unavoidable Delay

(e) If the Developer shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall make an assignment for
the benefit of its creditors or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver;

income or age limitations or if the Developer fails to deliver the annual rent and income reports

thereof, by the Developer in violation of Article VII of this Agreement;

obligation or agreement on its part to be observed or performed under this Agreement, including
but not limited to any action necessary for the establishment of the TIF District.
Section 8.2. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default referred to in
section 8.1 of this Agreement occurs, the non-defaulting party may take any one or more of the
following actions after providing 30 days written notice to the defaulting party of the Event of
Default, but only if the Event of Default has not been cured within said 30 days from the receipt
of Notice or, if the Event of Default is by its nature incurable within 30 days, the defaulting party
does not provide assurances to the non-defaulting party reasonably satisfactory to the non-
defaulting party that the Event of Default will be cured and will be cured as soon as reasonably
possible:
(a) Suspend its performance under this Agreement until it receives assurances from the
defaulting party, deemed adequate by the non-defaulting party, that the defaulting party will cure
its default and continue its performance under this Agreement;
(b) Prior to issuance of the Certificate of Completion, cancel and rescind or terminate
this Agreement;
(c) If the default occurs after issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the EDA may
suspend payments under the Note, subject to the provisions of section 8.3 of this Agreement;
(d) Suspend payments under the Note upon the Developer’s failure to provide annual
rental and income reports required under the Declaration within 30 days of the date they are due
or terminate the Note if the reports are not provided within six months of the date they are due,
subject to the right to contest matters in good faith as provided in section 4.5(f) of this Agreement;
and
(e) Take whatever action, including legal or administrative action, which may appear
necessary or desirable to the non-defaulting party to collect any payments due under this
Agreement, including reimbursement of the Redevelopment Assistance previously granted, or to
enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement, or covenant of the defaulting
party under this Agreement.

under Section 8.2(c) only for the following Events of Default:
(1) the Developer fails to pay real estate taxes or special assessments on the Minimum
Improvements or the Development Property or any part thereof when due and the taxes or special
assessments have not been paid, or provision satisfactory to the EDA made for their payment,
within 45 days after written demand by the EDA to do so; or
(2) the Developer takes or permits an action prohibited by section 6.1 of this
Agreement; or
(3) the Developer takes an action or fails to take an action which disqualifies the TIF
District as a housing district under the TIF Act prior to the Termination Date; or
(4) the Developer transfers the Minimum Improvements or the Development Property,
or any part thereof, to an entity exempt from the payment of real estate taxes under State law.
Section 8.4. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy conferred herein or reserved to the parties
is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver
thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be
deemed expedient. In order to entitle the EDA or the Developer to exercise any remedy reserved
to it, it shall not be necessary to give notice, other than such notice as may be required under this
Agreement.
Section 8.5. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any covenant or
agreement contained in this Agreement should be breached by either party and thereafter waived
by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be
deemed to waive any other concurrent, previous or subsequent breach hereunder.
ARTICLE IX

extent set forth herein.
1. Payments. Principal (“Payments”) will be paid on August 1, 2023, and each
February 1 and August 1 thereafter until the earlier of payment in full or February 1, 2042

D-3
CH135\62\706685.v3
The EDA will have no obligation to pay principal on this Note on each Payment Date from
any source other than Available Tax Increment, and the failure of the EDA to pay the entire amount
of principal on this Note on any Payment Date will not constitute a default hereunder as long as
the EDA pays principal to the extent of Available Tax Increment. The EDA will have no obligation
to pay unpaid balance of principal that may remain after the final Payment on February 1, 2042.
4. Optional Prepayment. The principal sum payable under this Note is pre-payable in
whole or in part at any time by the EDA without premium or penalty. No partial prepayment will
affect the amount or timing of any other regular payment otherwise required to be made under this
Note.
5. Suspension of Payment for Default. At the EDA’s option, the EDA’s obligation to
make any payments under this Note will be suspended upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
on the part of the Developer as defined in Section 8.1 of the Agreement, but only if the Event of
Default has not been cured in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Agreement.
6. Nature of Obligation. This Note is a single note in the total principal amount of
$3,065,000 issued to aid in financing certain public costs of a Redevelopment Project undertaken
by the EDA pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 through 469.047, as amended, and
is issued pursuant to an authorizing resolution (the “Resolution”) duly adopted by the EDA on
______________, 201__, pursuant to and in full conformity with the Constitution and laws of the
State of Minnesota, including Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.179, as amended. This
Note is a limited obligation of the EDA which is payable solely from Available Tax Increment
pledged to the payment hereof under the Resolution. This Note will not be deemed to constitute a
general obligation of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof, including, without
limitation, the EDA or the city of Chanhassen. Neither the State of Minnesota, nor any political
subdivision thereof will be obligated to pay the principal of this Note or other costs incident hereto
except out of Available Tax Increment, and neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power
of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the
principal of this Note or other costs incident hereto.
7. Estimated Tax Increment Payments. Any estimates of Tax Increment prepared by
the EDA or its financial advisors in connection with the TIF District or the Agreement are for the
benefit of the EDA, and are not intended as representations on which the Owner may rely.
THE EDA MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE
AVAILABLE TAX INCREMENT WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL OF
THIS NOTE.
8. Registration and Transfer. As provided in the Resolution, and subject to certain
limitations set forth herein, this Note is issuable only as a fully registered note without coupons.
This Note is transferable upon the books of the EDA kept for that purpose at the principal office

exchange and the payment by the Owner of any tax, fee, or governmental charge required to be
paid by the EDA with respect to the transfer or exchange, there will be issued in the name of the
transferee a new Note of the same aggregate principal amount and maturing on the same dates.
This Note may be transferred, assigned or pledged without the approval of the EDA;
provided that this Note will not be transferred to any person other than an affiliate, or other related
entity, of the Owner unless the EDA has been provided with an investment letter in a form
substantially similar to the investment letter submitted by the Owner or a certificate of the
transferor, in a form satisfactory to the EDA, that the transfer is exempt from registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of federal and applicable state securities laws. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Note, in no event will a lender providing funds to the Developer
and taking an assignment of the Note as security for such funds be required to sign an investment
letter at either the time of execution of an assignment or transfer of the Note as a result of the
assignment.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that all acts, conditions, and things required
by the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, to exist, to happen, and to be
performed in order to make this Note a valid and binding limited obligation of the EDA according
to its terms, have been done, do exist, have happened, and have been performed in due form, time

3.03. Registration. The EDA hereby appoints the Executive Director to perform the
functions of registrar, transfer agent and paying agent (the “Registrar”). The effect of registration
and the rights and duties of the EDA and the Registrar with respect thereto will be as follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar will keep at her office a bond register in which the Registrar
will provide for the registration of ownership of the Note and the registration of transfers and
exchanges of the Note.
(b) Transfer of Note. Upon surrender for transfer of the Note duly endorsed by the
registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly
authorized by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in the

D-6
CH135\62\706685.v3
applicable state securities laws. The Registrar may close the books for registration of any transfer
after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each Payment Date and until the Payment Date.
(c) Cancellation. The Note surrendered upon any transfer will be promptly cancelled
by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the EDA.
(d) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When the Note is presented to the Registrar
for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the same until she is satisfied that the endorsement
on the Note or separate instrument of transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no
liability for her refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which she, in her judgment, deems
improper or unauthorized.
(e) Persons Deemed Owners. The EDA and the Registrar may treat the person in
whose name the Note is at any time registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the
Note, whether the Note is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account
of, the principal of the Note and for all other purposes, and all the payments so made to any
registered owner or upon the owner’s order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability of the EDA upon the Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(f) Taxes, Fees and Charges. For every transfer or exchange of the Note, the Registrar
may impose a charge upon the owner thereof sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee,
or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.
(g) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Note. In case the Note becomes mutilated or
is lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Registrar will deliver a new Note of like amount, maturity dates
and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Note or in lieu
of and in substitution for the Note lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the payment of the reasonable
expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case the Note lost, stolen,

EDA and the Registrar will be named as obligees. The Note so surrendered to the Registrar will
be cancelled by her and evidence of the cancellation will be given to the EDA. If the mutilated,
lost, stolen, or destroyed Note has already matured or been called for redemption in accordance
with its terms, it will not be necessary to issue a new Note prior to payment.
3.04. Preparation and Delivery. The Note will be prepared under the direction of the
Executive Director and will be executed on behalf of the EDA by the signatures of its President
and Executive Director. In case any officer whose signature appears on the Note ceases to be the
officer before the delivery of the Note, the signature will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for
all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery. When the Note has
been so executed, it will be delivered by the EDA to the Owner following the delivery of the
necessary items delineated in Section 3.3 of the Agreement.

FORM OF DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
THIS DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS, dated this ___ day of
_____________, 2021 (the “Declaration”), by Lakes at Chanhassen, LLC, a Minnesota limited
liability company (the “Developer”), is given for the benefit of the Chanhassen Economic
Development Authority, a public body corporate and politic under the laws of Minnesota (the
“EDA”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the EDA and the Developer entered into that certain Contract for Private
Development, dated __________, 2021, (the “Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, the Developer is obligated to cause construction of

Property”), and to cause compliance with certain affordability covenants described in Section 4.5 of
the Agreement; and

an instrument in recordable form substantially reflecting the covenants set forth in that section of the
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Developer intends, declares, and covenants that the restrictive covenants set

WHEREAS, capitalized terms in this Declaration have the meaning provided in the
Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants hereinafter set forth,
and of other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Developer agrees as follows:
1. Term of Restrictions.
(a) Occupancy and Rental Restrictions. The term of the Occupancy Restrictions set forth

the City for all Rental Housing Units on the Development Property and continue through the
Declaration Termination Date defined below (the “Qualified Project Period”).
F-2
CH135\62\706685.v3
(b) Termination of Declaration. This Declaration shall terminate upon the earlier of (i)
the date the TIF District is terminated in accordance with the TIF Act or (ii) the date (A) the Note is
paid in full or the EDA cancels the Note upon a written request for termination by the Developer and
(B) the EDA determines, in its sole discretion, that such termination will not limit or interfere with
the EDA’s ability to pool Tax Increment generated within the TIF District for affordable housing in
accordance with the TIF Act.
In addition, in the event of foreclosure or transfer of title by deed in lieu of foreclosure, upon
completion of the foreclosure and expiration of the applicable mortgagee redemption period, or
recording of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, any mortgagee (or any assignee of the mortgagee) or any
purchasers at or after foreclosure thereof, by the successful bidder at the sale, to the title to the
Development Property, may terminate this Declaration, by providing written notice to the EDA and
by filing a termination document in the applicable real property records in Carver County, and
thereafter this Declaration shall be of no further force and effect; provided, however, that the
preceding provisions of this sentence shall cease to apply and the restrictions contained herein shall
be reinstated if, at any time subsequent to the termination of this Declaration as the result of the
foreclosure, or the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or a similar event, the Developer or any
related person (within the meaning of Section 1.103-10(e) of the Treasury Regulations) obtains an
ownership interest in the Project for federal income tax purposes.
Each of the events set forth in the first two paragraphs of this Section 1(b) are referred to
individually and collectively herein as the “Declaration Termination Date.” The Developer
acknowledges, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns that, upon any termination of this
Declaration prior to the payment in full of the Note, the EDA will terminate the Note.
(c) Removal from Real Estate Records. After the Declaration Termination Date of this
Declaration, the EDA will, upon request by the Developer or its assigns, file any document
appropriate to remove this Declaration from the real estate records of Carver County, Minnesota.
2. Project Restrictions.
(a) The Developer represents, warrants, and covenants that:
(i) All leases of Rental Housing Units to Qualifying Tenants (as defined in
Section 3(a) hereof) will contain clauses, among others, wherein each individual lessee:
(1) Certifies the accuracy of the statements made in its application and
Eligibility Certification (as defined in Section 3(b) hereof); and
(2) Agrees that the family income at the time the lease is executed will be
deemed a substantial and material obligation of the lessee’s tenancy; that the lessee
will comply promptly with all requests for income and other information relevant to
determining low or moderate income status from the Developer or the EDA, and that
the lessee’s failure or refusal to comply with a request for information with respect
thereto will be deemed a violation of a substantial obligation of the lessee’s tenancy.
F-3
CH135\62\706685.v3
(b) The Developer will permit any duly authorized representative of the EDA to inspect
the books and records of the Developer pertaining to the income of Qualifying Tenants residing in
the Project.
3. Occupancy Restrictions. The Developer represents, warrants, and covenants that:
(a) Qualifying Tenants. Throughout the Qualified Project Period, (i) all of the Rental
Housing Units shall be occupied by at least one person who is at least 55 years of age at the time
of initial occupancy and shall be otherwise administered in accordance with 42 USC Section
3607(b) and Minnesota Statutes, Section 363A.21, subdivision 2; and (ii) at least 50 (44%)% of the
Rental Housing Units shall be occupied (or treated as occupied as provided herein) or held vacant and
available for occupancy by Qualifying Tenants. “Qualifying Tenants” means those persons and
families who are determined from time to time by the Developer to have combined adjusted income
that does not exceed 60% of the median income for the standard metropolitan statistical area which
includes Chanhassen, Minnesota, as that figure is determined and announced from time to time by
HUD, as adjusted for family size (the “Median Income”) for the applicable calendar year. For
purposes of this definition, the occupants of a Rental Housing Unit will not be deemed to be
Qualifying Tenants if all the occupants of such Rental Housing Unit at any time are “students,” as
defined in Section 152(f)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), not
entitled to an exemption under the Code. The determination of whether an individual or family is of
low or moderate income will be made at the time the tenancy commences and on an ongoing basis
thereafter, determined at least annually. If during their tenancy a Qualifying Tenant’s income exceeds
140% of the Median Income, the next available Rental Housing Unit (determined in accordance with
the Code and applicable regulations) (the “Next Available Unit Rule”) must be leased to a Qualifying
Tenant or held vacant and available for occupancy by a Qualifying Tenant. If the Next Available
Unit Rule is violated, the Rental Housing Unit will not continue to be treated as a Qualifying Unit.
(b) Certification of Tenant Eligibility. As a condition to initial and continuing occupancy,
each person who is intended to be a Qualifying Tenant will be required annually to sign and deliver
to the Developer a Certification of Tenant Eligibility substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B
hereto, or in any other form as may be approved by the EDA (the “Eligibility Certification”), in which
the prospective Qualifying Tenant certifies as to having a qualifying low or moderate income. In
addition, at least one person in each Rental Housing Unit shall certify as to being 55 years of age or
older. The Qualifying Tenant will be required to provide whatever other information, documents, or
certifications are deemed necessary by the EDA to substantiate the Eligibility Certification, on an
ongoing annual basis, and to verify that the tenant continues to be a Qualifying Tenant within the
meaning of Section 3(a) hereof. Eligibility Certifications will be maintained for the duration of the
Qualified Project Period on file by the Developer with respect to each Qualifying Tenant who resides
in a Rental Housing Unit or resided therein during the Qualified Project Period.
(c) Lease. The form of lease to be utilized by the Developer in renting any Rental
Housing Units in the Project to any person who is intended to be a Qualifying Tenant will provide for
termination of the lease and consent by the person to immediate eviction for failure to qualify as a
Qualifying Tenant as a result of any material misrepresentation made by the person with respect to
the Eligibility Certification. The Developer covenants and agrees that during the Qualified Project
F-4
CH135\62\706685.v3
Period it will not increase the rent charged to any tenant of a Rental Housing Unit within the Project
during such tenant’s lease term and, at any rate, will not increase the rent charged to any tenant more
than once in any 6-month period.
(d) Annual Report. The Developer covenants and agrees that during the term of this
Declaration, it will prepare and submit to the EDA on or before July 1 of each year, a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, executed by the Developer, (a) identifying the
tenancies and the dates of occupancy (or vacancy) for all Qualifying Tenants in the Project, including
the number and percentage of the Rental Housing Units of the Project which were occupied by
Qualifying Tenants (or held vacant and available for occupancy by Qualifying Tenants) at all times
during the year preceding the date of the certificate; (b) describing all transfers or other changes in
ownership of the Project or any interest therein; and (c) stating, that to the best knowledge of the
person executing the certificate after due inquiry, all the Rental Housing Units were rented or
available for rental on a continuous basis during the year to members of the general public and that
the Developer was not otherwise in default under this Declaration during the year.
(e) Notice of Non-Compliance. The Developer will immediately notify the EDA if at any
time during the term of this Declaration fewer than 50 (44%)% of the Rental Housing Units in the
Project are occupied or available for occupancy as required by the terms of this Declaration.
4. Transfer Restrictions. The Developer covenants and agrees that the Developer will
cause or require as a condition precedent to any conveyance, transfer, assignment, or any other
disposition of the Project prior to the termination of the Occupancy Restrictions provided herein (the
“Transfer”) that the transferee of the Project pursuant to the Transfer assume in writing, in a form
acceptable to the EDA, all duties and obligations of the Developer under this Declaration, including
this Section 4, in the event of a subsequent Transfer by the transferee prior to expiration of the Rental
Restrictions and Occupancy Restrictions provided herein (the “Assumption Agreement”). The
Developer will deliver the Assumption Agreement to the EDA prior to the Transfer.
5. Enforcement.
(a) The Developer will permit, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice,
any duly authorized representative of the EDA to inspect any books and records of the Developer
regarding the Project with respect to the incomes of Qualifying Tenants.
(b) The Developer will submit any other information, documents or certifications
requested by the EDA which the EDA deems reasonably necessary to substantiate the Developer’s
continuing compliance with the provisions specified in this Declaration.
(c) The Developer acknowledges that the primary purpose for requiring compliance by
the Developer with the restrictions provided in this Declaration is to ensure compliance of the property
with the housing affordability covenants set forth in Section 4.5 of the Agreement, and by reason
thereof, the Developer, in consideration for assistance provided by the EDA under the Agreement that

RE: Initial Demand Assessment for Senior Rental Housing in Chanhassen, Minnesota
Introduction
This memorandum provides an initial assessment of the demand for senior housing in
Chanhassen, Minnesota. The purpose of this initial assessment is to broadly assess the depth of
demand for senior rental housing, including market rate and affordable units, in the local area
to determine if potential exists to support a new development. As we understand, the location
for the proposed development is a parcel at 1361 Lake Drive.
Included in this initial assessment is a demand calculation for affordable (at 60% AMI) and
market rate rental housing that is age restricted to age 55+ households. Potential demand is
calculated based on analysis of the income/asset-qualified target market for senior housing and
the supply of competitive senior housing units serving the primary market area. The ability of
the subject development to capture unmet market area demand is discussed in this assessment
and recommendations on monthly achievable rents are provided.
A full market feasibility study, which examines in greater detail the desirability of the subject
site and competitive properties and would also provide detailed reco mmendations on a project
concept and absorption projections, could be conducted at a later date.

Viewpoint Consulting Group, Inc. Page 2

Primary Market Area Definition
The subject site (“Site”) for the proposed senior housing development is in Chanhas sen, on a
parcel at 1361 Lake Drive. This location is just off Powers Boulevard, between Highway 5 and
Highway 212. Chanhassen is a suburban community of 26,557 people (2020 estimate). It is
located in Carver County, just west of Eden Prairie (pop. 64,893) and just east of Chaska (pop.
26,989). Highways 5 and 212 are the primary arteries connecting Chanhassen to the remainder
of the Twin Cities Metro Area.
Chanhassen is an appealing community in which a new housing development will draw many
residents currently living outside the community. Based on the characteristics of Chanhassen,
community orientation, proximity to other senior housing properties in the surrounding area,
and our knowledge of senior housing draw areas, it is estimated that a market rate senior rental
housing development on the Site in Chanhassen would attract approximately 75% of its
residents from a draw area (Primary Market Area, or “PMA”) that includes the census tracts
listed below. Because of a greater shortage of affordable housing metrowide, affordable
housing would likely attract a higher proportion of residents from outside the PMA (two -thirds
from within the PMA and one-third from outside the PMA).

906.01 260.22
906.02
907.01 Chaska
907.02 909
The PMA comprises an area that extends approximately a three-mile radius of the Site. The
remaining portion of senior housing demand (25% for market rate and 33% for affordable)
would come from outside the PMA, particularly parents of adult children living in the PMA as
well as seniors living in nearby suburbs.
A map of the PMA is shown on the following page.

Demographic Analysis
Tables 1 through 5 on Pages 6 through 8 show key economic and demographic variables related
to the demand for senior housing in the PMA (age distribution of the senior population and
household base, senior household income, senior homeownership rates, and estimated home
values). This demographic and home value data is from ESRI, a national demographics firm.
The key demographic and economic findings are summarized on the following pages.
Senior Population and Household Trends
The total population in the PMA was estimated at 54,749 in 2020. The population increased
by 10.6% from 2000 to 2010. The growth stemmed from new housing construction that
resulted in the addition of 1,819 households during the decade.
While the overall population in the PMA increased by 10.6% last decade, the senior
population (age 65+) grew by 90.6%, increasing from 3,355 in 2010 to 6,396 seniors in 2020.
Seniors ages 75+ are a primary target market for senior rental housing. This group increased
by 47.4% in the PMA last decade (to 1,885 in 2020).
Between 2020 and 2025, the age 65+ senior population is projected to grow by another
2,746 persons (+42.9%). The age group 75 and over is projected to grow at an even greater
growth rate over the next five years. It is projected to grow by 47.6%, resulting in the
addition of 897 older seniors.
Senior Household Incomes
Incomes in the PMA are above average compared to the Twin Cities Metro Area, meaning
an above average proportion of seniors should be able to afford market rate housing. The
estimated median income of age-65-to-74-households in the PMA in 2020 is $91,470,
compared to the Twin Cities Metro Area’s median of $69,060 for this age group. The
estimated median income of age 75+ households in the PMA in 2020 is $54,498, compared
to the Metro Area’s median of $42,332 for this age group.
The target market for market rate senior rental housing is generally senior households age
65 and older with incomes of at least $50,000 (plus some lower-income senior
homeowners). By allocating 40% of their income toward rent, seniors with this income
could afford gross rents beginning at approximately $1,600. Seniors can allocate a higher
proportion of their income toward rent since they generally have fewer expenses than
younger households. In 2020, an estimated 2,783 households age 65 and older have
incomes of at least $50,000. This is about three-quarters of all age-65+ households.
Senior Housing Demand Assessment: Chanhassen, MN
Viewpoint Consulting Group, Inc. Page 5
July 9, 2020
One-person senior households with incomes below about $43,000 would income-qualify for
rental housing affordable at 60% of area median income (and couples with incomes below
about $50,000). Income-limits (2020 limits for projects placed in service after 4/1/20) for
the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program (LIHTC) from the Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency are shown below.
2020 LIHTC Income Limits
1 Person 2 Person
30% $21,720 $26,840
50% $36,200 $41,400
60% $43,440 $49,680
2020 LIHTC Maximum Gross Rents at 60% AMI
Studio $1,086
1BR $1,164
2BR $1,396
3BR $1,613
Senior Household Tenure
Seniors who own their homes have an additional source of income through the sale of their
home that can be utilized for alternative housing. Seniors in the PMA have a slightly higher
homeownership rate compared to the Twin Cities Metro Area (78.3% for 65+ households
compared to 75.8% metrowide).
Home Value Trends
Seniors can use the proceeds from the sale of their home to offset the cost of senior
housing. The median home value in the PMA is above average compared to the Twin Cities
Metro Area (estimated at $398,471 in 2020, compared to $280,679 metrowide).
A senior selling their home for $398,000 could receive an investment return of
approximately $920 monthly from the sale (sale price minus 7% sales agent fees, and a 3%
annual return on their investment).

Senior Housing Supply
Senior Housing Defined
Senior housing encompasses a wide variety of product types. The properties that include the
lowest level of services are adult properties, which offer virtually no support services or health
care, but restrict tenancy to those age 55 and over. Adult properties can be rental or owner -
occupied (attached or detached townhomes, condominiums and cooperatives). Congregate
properties, better known as independent living, offer support services such as meals and
housekeeping. These services are either included in the rent or offered a-la-carte so that
residents can choose whether or not to pay for them. Independent living projects attract an
older and frailer senior population than adult properties (generally seniors age 75 and over).
The most service-intensive housing types are assisted living, memory care, and enhanced care
suites as they offer the highest level of services short of a nursing home. Some of the typical
services they provide are meals, housekeeping, linen changes, personal laundry, 24-hour
emergency response and a wide range of personal-care and therapeutic services. The meals
and services are built into the monthly fee, charged through a tiered service package or offered
a-la-carte.
Competitive Senior Housing Properties
Table 6 shows the inventory of senior housing properties that would provide competition to a
new rental development on the Site in Chanhassen. For each competitive property, Table 6
provides information on location, year built, total number of units, wheth er or not it is located
in the PMA, its distance from the Site, its estimated competitiveness and its total competitive
units. The competitive percentage is a measure of draw area overlap and is estimated based on
a property’s distance from the Site, its location within or near the PMA, its community
orientation (i.e., its estimated primary draw area), and unique characteristics of the property.
The following are key highlights about the competitive supply.
A total of six competitive properties were identified in and near the PMA. One is affordable
and the other five are market rate. Combined, the properties have a total of 358 units.
However, only two of the properties are located in the PMA (Centennial Hill and Powers
Ridge) and accounting for draw area overlap, the properties in Table 6 supply the PMA with
65 competitive affordable units and 106 competitive market rate units.
Powers Ridge Senior Living is the closest competitive property. It is adjacent to the subject
Site. It was built in 2017 and consists of 76 market rate units in a three-story building.
Because of its proximity to the Site, it is fully competitive. Powers Ridge is the only market
rate property in the PMA. The next closest competitive property is Sterling Ponds in Eden
Prairie. Sterling Ponds consists of two 26-year-old buildings – one being general-occupancy
and the other senior. While there are three properties in Shakopee, they are south of the
Minnesota River in Scott County, and would only be marginally competitive. Altogether, the
Senior Housing Demand Assessment: Chanhassen, MN
Viewpoint Consulting Group, Inc. Page 10
July 9, 2020
properties in Table 6 supply the Site with 106 competitive units, not including some
competitive overlap with Centennial Hill, a property affordable at 100% AMI.
Table 6
Competitive Senior Housing Supply
Primary Market Area
July 2020
Centennial Hill is the only competitive affordable property located in the PMA. Centennial
Hill is a 65-unit building by the Carver County CDA that has income-limits set at 100% of
AMI. Because of the high income-limit, Centennial Hill would have some market overlap
with a market rate property. Thus, later in this assessment, half the units are subtracted
from affordable demand calculations and half from market rate demand calculations.
There are other senior housing properties in and near the PMA. However , they are either
congregate/assisted living (e.g., Mission Hill and Summerwood of Chanhassen) or subsidized
(e.g., The Landings, Talheim and Waybury in Chaska). These subsidized (income-qualified
residents pay 30% of their income for rent) and congregate/assisted living properties would
not be competitive with market rate age 55+ rental housing that does not offer services.

Monthly Rents at Selected Competitive and Comparable Senior Rental Properties
Monthly rents at Powers Ridge, the only competitive property in the PMA, and two other
nearby properties are shown in Table 7. Monthly rents are shown by unit type, with unit
sizes also being presented. Powers Ridge has rents of $1,475 to $1,970 for one-bedroom
units and $1,985 to $2,200 for two-bedroom units. These rents include all utilities. Rents at
Powers Ridge are higher than at Sterling Ponds and The Henderson, the closest market rate
senior rental properties to the Site. At Sterling Ponds, which is a 1990 building, rents are
$1,040 to $1,290 for one-bedroom units and $1,160 to $1,560 for two-bedroom units. The
Henderson is a property by the Scott County CDA. It opened in 2016 and has rents of $1,049
to $1,065 for one-bedroom units and $1,374 to $1,391 for two-bedroom units.
Table 7 includes three market rate, 55+ rental properties that are scheduled to open in the
Twin Cities Metro Area in 2020. They are The Elmwood in St. Louis Park, The Hendrickson in
Falcon Heights, and The Heights in Mendota Heights. They are similar in size, ranging from
63 units at The Heights to 70 units at The Elmwood. Rents at these three properties average
$1,525 for one-bedroom units and $2,215 for two-bedroom units. Their rents include heat,
water/sewer, trash, and recycling.
Centennial Hill has income-limits at 100% of AMI, which is $70,000 for one-person and
$80,000 for two-person households. Rents are $934 to $937 for one-bedroom units and
$1,246 for two-bedroom units. Rents include water/sewer, trash, and heat.
The most recently developed senior rental properties affordable at 60% AMI in the Twin
Cities Metro Area have been by Dominium. Two of these properties, Grainwood in Prior
Lake and The Legends of Apple Valley, are shown in Table 7. Grainwood has 168 units that
opened in 2017. Rents are $1,097 for one-bedroom units, $1,313 for two-bedroom units,
and $1,532 for three-bedroom units. Legends of Apple Valley has 163 units that opened in
2018. Rents are $1,109 for one-bedroom units, $1,328 for two-bedroom units, and $1,530
for three-bedroom units. Rents at both these properties are the maximum allowable for
LIHTC properties at 60% AMI. Common areas at the property are numerous; they include a
community room, fitness center, craft/card room, underground parking , outdoor dog run,
theater room, and outdoor patio.

Monthly Rents at Newer General-Occupancy Apartments
Seniors seeking rental housing as an alternative to their existing owner-occupied homes
(generally a single-family home) have choices of age-restricted properties, such as those listed
in Table 7, as well as general-occupancy apartments. Because some seniors may cross-shop the
two product types, rents were collected at newer general-occupancy apartments in and near
the PMA. Information on these general-occupancy apartments is presented in Table 8. The
following are key highlights.
The most recent general-occupancy apartment in Chanhassen is Venue, which opened in
2019 at 525 West 78th Street (about two miles from the subject Site). It is a six-story
building with 134 units and ground-floor retail. Venue has rents of $1,325 to $1,794 for one-
bedroom units and $1,710 to $1,850 for two-bedroom units. With Venue’s smaller unit
sizes, these rents equate to averages of $1.92 per square foot for one-bedroom units and
$1.87 for two-bedroom units.
Before Venue, two of the more recent apartments in Chanhassen are Lake Susan
Apartments and Powers Ridge, both of which opened in 2001. Powers Ridge is a
condominium development adjacent to the Site that has units that are leased. Lake Susan
has 162 units in three three-story buildings. Rents range from $1,261 to $1,487 for one-
bedroom units to $1,608 to $1,627 for two-bedroom units. These rents equate to averages
of $1.48 per square foot for one-bedroom units and $1.42 for two-bedroom units.
Lake Jonathan Flats opened in Chaska in 2019 with 117 units. Units in the four-story building
have rents of $1,585 to $1,600 for one-bedroom units and $1,725 to $2,669 for two-
bedroom units. Overall, these rents average $2.02 per square foot for one-bedroom units
and $1.98 per square foot for two-bedroom units.
Victoria Flats is just west of Chaska, in Victoria. It opened in in 2018 with 81 units in a four-
story building. Rents are $1,427 to $1,513 for one-bedroom units and $2,182 to $2,616 for
two-bedroom units. Overall, these rents average $1.97 per square foot for one-bedroom
units and $2.07 per square foot for two-bedroom units.
Overall, the rents at these four general-occupancy rental buildings average $1,500 for one-
bedroom units and $2,000 for two-bedroom units. These are similar to rents at the three
comparable 55+ rental properties in Table 7, which averaged $1,525 for one-bedroom units
and $2,215 for two-bedroom units.
Planned and Proposed Senior Housing Developments
No new planned or proposed senior rental housing developments that may increase the future
competitive supply in the PMA were identified. Thus, future demand calculations presented
later in this assessment account for just the existing competitive supply identified in Table 6.

Senior (Age 55+) Rental Demand Calculations
Tables 9 and 10 provide demand calculations for the number of senior rental housing units that
can be supported in the PMA in 2020 and 2025, along with an estimate on the number of units
that can be captured the Site. Table 9 shows demand for affordable senior rental housing while
Table 10 shows demand for market rate housing.
Affordable Demand (at 60% AMI)
Table 9 provides an initial demand calculation of the number of affordable senior rental units
that can be supported on the Site in Chanhassen in 2020 and 2025. As shown in Table 9, unmet
demand for affordable senior rental housing on a site is calculated for 98 units in 2020. Demand
is projected to increase to 135 units in 2025 as the overall 65+ population is projected to grow
by 42.9% over the five-year period. The following points summarize the demand methodology.
The target market for affordable senior rental housing is senior households age 55+ with
incomes that would qualify them for the LIHTC program at 60% AMI. These are about incomes
of $32,000 to $49,000, plus homeowners with incomes between $20,000 and $3 2,000. Very
low-income seniors (<$20,000) are excluded as they generally would not be able to afford
contract rents at affordable properties. Very low-income seniors are a market for deep
subsidized housing where they pay 30% of their income for rent. Seniors in the qualifying band
would be under the maximum income limit yet could afford gross rents allowable at 60% AMI
($1,164 for one-bedroom units and $1,396 for two-bedroom units).
A capture rate – or “penetration rate” – is applied to the income-qualified base of older adults
and younger and older seniors. The penetration rates are based on those being achieved in
other markets within the Twin Cities Metro Area. The estimated achievable penetration rates of
affordable senior rental housing among income-qualified households are 1.5% for 55-to 64-
year-olds, 15.0% for 65-to-74-year-olds, and 30.0% for seniors ages 75 and over. Applying the
income-qualifying and capture rate percentages to the households in each age group equates
to total potential demand for 130 units from seniors living in the PMA in 2020. It is estimated
that seniors currently residing outside the PMA will generate 33% of the total demand for
affordable senior rental housing. This demand from outside the PMA increases total demand to
194 units in 2020, increasing to 256 units in 2025.
The number of existing competitive units is subtracted from the total demand. There is one
affordable property in the PMA – Centennial Hill. However, it is affordable at 100% AMI, and
thus has market overlap with market rate housing. Half of Centennial Hill’s 65 units, minus a 5%
vacancy factor, are subtracted from the affordable demand calculations in Table 9 (the other
half are subtracted from the market rate calculations in Table 10). Subtracting these units
results in unmet demand for 163 units in the PMA in 2020. No planned or proposed affordable
senior rental developments that would increase the PMA supply were identified. Subtracting
existing units from 2025 demand results in unmet demand potential for 226 units in 2025.

Table 9
Affordable Senior Rental Housing Demand Calculation (<60% of AMI)
Primary Market Area
2020 and 2025
No single location or development can capture all the demand in a draw area. Based on the
geographic size of the PMA and the Site’s location within the PMA, plus the overall limited
choices of affordable housing, it is estimated that the Site can capture 60% of the unmet
demand potential. This results in unmet demand on a site for 98 affordable senior rental units
in 2020 increasing to 135 units in 2025.

Market Rate Demand
Table 10 provides a demand calculation of the number of market rate senior rental units that
can be supported on the Site in Chanhassen in 2020 and 2025. As shown in Table 10, demand is
calculated for 93 units on the Site in 2025. The following points summarize the demand
methodology.
The target market for new market rate adult rental housing is senior households age 55+ with
incomes above $50,000, plus homeowners with incomes between $35,000 and $50,000. By
allocating 40% of their gross monthly income for rent, s enior households with incomes of
$50,000 could afford units with rents of about $1,600. A capture rate – or “penetration rate” –
is applied to the income-qualified base of older adults and younger and older seniors. The
penetration rates are based on the current capture rates being achieved in other markets of the
Twin Cities Metro Area. The estimated penetration rates of market rate senior rental housing
that can be achieved in the PMA are 0.5% for 55-to-64-year-olds, 4.0% for 65-to-74-year-olds,
and 10.0% for seniors ages 75 and over.
Applying the income-qualifying and capture rate percentages to the households in each age
group equates to total potential demand for 184 units from seniors living in the PMA in 2020.
Based on the characteristics of the PMA, it is estimated that seniors currently residing outside
the PMA will generate 25% of the total demand. This demand from outside the PMA increases
total demand to 245 units in 2020, increasing to 318 units in 2025.
The number of existing market rate units (minus a 5% vacancy factor) is subtracted from the
total demand. There is one existing market rate property in the PMA (Powers Ridge Senior
Living), and four outside the PMA that would be partially competitive. In addition, as discussed
in the demand calculation for affordable senior rental housing, one property affordable at 100%
AMI would be partially competitive due to market overlap (Centennial Hill). Half its units are
subtracted from the demand calculations in Table 10. After subtracting existing competitive
units (minus a 5% vacancy factor) from total demand, unmet demand is calculated for 113 units
in the PMA in 2020. No pending developments were identified that would increase the PMA
competitive supply. Subtracting existing units from 2025 demand results in unmet demand
potential for 186 units.
Again, no single site or development can capture all the demand in a draw area. Based on the
geographic size of the PMA and the level of market rate senior rental options, it is estimated
that the Site can capture 50% of the unmet market rate demand potential. This results in
demand on a site for 57 market rate senior rental units in 2020, increasing to 93 units in 2025.

Senior (Age 55+) Rental Recommendation
Based on the demographic analysis and supply of competitive properties, there is demand for
up to 135 affordable units and 93 market rate units on the Site by 2025. Combined, this is 199
units, which equates to 4.5% of the projected total of 5,121 age 65+ households in the PMA in
2025, and 55% of the unmet demand in the PMA (412 affordable and market rate units).
A new senior rental development should contain large sized units with high -end finishes along
with common area amenities such as a community room, activity room, fitness room, and
underground parking. Unit features should include washer/dryers, walk-in closets, kitchen
islands, balconies, and contemporary finishes. A new development with these features and the
rents as recommended in Table 11 would be positioned as the market leader in the Chanhassen
area.
As shown in Table 11, we recommend market rate rents ranging from $1,500 to $1,850 for one-
bedroom units to $2,400 to $2,500 for three-bedroom units. With the recommended unit sizes,
these rents equate to a building with an average rent of approximately $1.95 per square foot,
depending on the exact unit mix. If affordable at 60% AMI, we recommend maximum allowable
gross rents. Since residents would pay electricity, the recommended affordable rents in Table
11 are adjusted for a utility allowance.
Table 11
Rent and Unit Size Recommendations
Proposed Chanhassen Senior (55+) Rental Development
July 2020
As noted in the introduction of this report, the purpose of this initial assessment is to broadly
assess the depth of demand for senior housing in the local area to determine if potential exists
to support a new development. Thus, the findings are preliminary and should be viewed in that
light. A full market feasibility study would more closely examine factors such as the desirability
of the subject site and the performance of competitive buildin gs, both of which may impact
demand.
