VISITOR PRESENTATIONS:
Debbie Lloyd: Good evening. Debbie Lloyd, 7302 Laredo Drive. I'm going to keep this short
but I need to say this now to make it a matter of public record. As you are aware for over 6 years
I've watched what's happening with developments within Chanhassen. After shoreland code
wasn't properly applied in a subdivision within my neighborhood. It's sad to say that despite
bringing information to the attention of the city staff and council that their application of city
ordinance to all residents and developers doesn't exist within our borders. It does appear that
certain developers are set to higher standards than others. It is the ordinance, it is the city code
which puts each one of us on a level playing ground, and I didn't plan that. Thank you. Tonight
nd
you have before you the final plat for 2 phase of the Preserve for approval. As you are aware I
did raise questions about this development in an email correspondence.
Mayor Furlong: Excuse me Ms. Lloyd. Is this the reason why you pulled that item from the
consent agenda?
Debbie Lloyd: No. Not in and of itself solely. This relates to something else as well.
Mayor Furlong: Alright.
Debbie Lloyd: Condition 13 for Addition 1 of the Preserve specifically mentions the
construction of Bluff Creek Boulevard improvements to serve the development, and that the
development is assessed for this project, but there's no mention of setback. The ordinance
requires 50 feet. The setback of 3 homes from Bluff Creek Boulevard is less than what
ordinance requires along a collector street and less than what was required of Town & Country,
also a PUD established along the very same collector street. When the Preserve was approved
the developer claimed no variances were required. The only mention of any setback condition in
the report was a 40 foot setback for the primary corridor. That is the Bluff Creek corridor. The
exception for the street setback was not stated again. Therefore implied that they were meeting
all city standards. The Preserve is a multi-phased development and as such may have violated
