Notice is hereby given that a suit will be filed with the District Court for redress
of refusal of the City to make accommodation in zoning in light of substantial
change of circumstances since the last zoning review and comprehensive plan
review, a process which has denied the construction of Highway 312, the
installation of sewer and water to the neighborhood, whose use has otherwise been
denied, and the City's preference of allowing illegal commercial businesses in a
residential zone.

Arild,
Lot 6 is over 150' away from the sewer stub on Powers Blvd. therefore they were not required
to hook up to City service. You or your neighbors may hook up to sewer service at any time.
Sewer service does not require a rezoning.

I refer again to the enclosed letter from Paul Oehme PE.
He claims that City Sewer is not available at Oakside Circle
This is in strong contrast to Greg Brown from URS ( URS did the Powers Blvd
Improvement )
Qoute :
"Arild and Mike,
I believe we had stubbed an 8" PVC @0.4% grade at Oakside Circle and near
your property driveway.
Greg"
Is his comment.
Full email sent forwarded separately
Paul further mention that one property on Hillside Oak had their septic system
replaced .
This was lot 6 facing Lyman Blvd but with deeded access to Oakside Circle between
Lot 5 and 7.
If lot 6 had been required to be hooked up to City Sewer ( as my lot would have been )
because of a failing
septic system, it would have triggered a hook up for lot 5 as well .
Lot 5 is owned by Council Member Craig Peterson. His tactics to avoid hook up to
City sewer is well documented.
I feel I and my lot is clearly discriminated against; The City invest $1/4 million in
utility improvements for Hillside Oak Block
1 and now tell me that if my Septic System fails I have to hook up to City Sever. My
property has the the same
sewer connection as Oakside Circle. This again would cause me financial hardship. I
have during the years
invested over $40.000.00 in applications fess, engineering cost and legal cost to access
City Sewer the way it
was designed for.
I find it hard to believe that the City made these improvements waiting for my septic or
my neighbor to the north
to fail..........
I will ask the City Council not to discriminate against me and Support my proposal for
3/14/2006
10 Page 4 of 5
rezoning so I can
feasible access these utilities as it was designed for. ( They have stood unused for ten
years at now a cost
to the City for over $700,000.00 and further denials could make these improvements
obsolete )
and the City can start recoup It's invest ment
I will also ask City Council Member Craig Peterson to recuse him self.

I understand that the Planning commission has recommend that Hillside Oak
Block one remain Large Lot
When one of the 7 owners of lot 1 through 7 septic systems fails , will the
affectd property owner be allowed to build a new septic system to replace the
failing one? ( one lot had a issue with a leaking drain field 8 years ago)
Or will the City enforce code 19-41 B or use any other means to have the
property owner hook
up to the adjacent City Sewer Connection.
(This again will bring any neighbor lot into 150 feet pr City interpretation of
City code 19-41B?)

When one of the 7 owners of lot 1 through 7 septic systems fails , will the affectd
property owner be allowed to build a new septic system to replace the failing
one? ( one lot had a issue with a leaking drain field 8 years ago)
Or will the City enforce code 19-41 B or use any other means to have the property
owner hook
up to the adjacent City Sewer Connection.
(This again will bring any neighbor lot into 150 feet pr City interpretation of City code

Zoning of Hillside Oak Block 1
I qoute from City Comprehensive plan:
( Land use )
Land use 2/ 91( Update 1998)
LAND USE
'The availability of an adequate sanitary sewer system is a primary consideration in the utilization of
land for urban purposes. The adequacy of sanitary sewer in a given area is,
For example, directly related to the intensity of land development possible for the area."
'Since on-site systems tend to fail at different times at different lots in a subdivision, residents should be
aware that utilities may need to be provided before a consensus is achieved from all impacted property
owners (2/91)
'Large —lot residential is presently found generally south of Lyman Boulevard.
Other areas of large -lot exist north of TH 5 along Lake Lucy Road and South of TH 5,
East of Galpin Boulevard.
Utilizing the concept of comprehensive utility planning and encouraging development to locate in areas
with available infrastructure will insure that private development will follow public investment ......
Hillside Oak was a part of Lake Susan Hill develpoment, but could not be served by gravity sewer.
So when the liftstataton was installed to serve Hillside Oak Block 1 exclusive ,we became truly a part of
Lake Susan Hills.

Lot 6 is over 150' away from the sewer stub on Powers Blvd. therefore they were not required to hook
up to City service. You or your neighbors may hook up to sewer service at any time. Sewer service
does not require a rezoning.

Zoning of Hillside Oak Block 1
The City clearly manipulated the Zoning for Hillside Oak Blockl after sewer was installed and after
I in June 1996 I presented the City with my first proposal which would had put 6 lots on my property.
They retro activated the change to Jan 1991 . There is no supporting documents to clearly
support such a major change to a comprehensive plan.
Keep in mind the area around Hillside Oak Block 1 , including Hillside Oak Block 2 are RLD
( Land use )

City Code 19-41B
The code names three reasons which each one by itself triggers mandatory sewer Connection
1 All buildings .. on premises adjacent to City Sewer system
OR
2 In a block through or to which the sanitary systems extends
J
3. Is within 150 feet of said sewer system
The City treats the Code as an AND function: That all reasons have to be in place to mandate sewer
connection The Code is clearly an OR function: Each one of the reasons by itself mandates sewer
connection
The City invested $1/4 million in 1993 exclusive in sewer for Hillside Oak Block 1 including a lift
station.
It cannot be extended or used for any thing else.
I has stood unused for ten years now a cost over $3/4 Mill of tax payers money

Also feasible sewer Hook up service requires rezoning.

We would require Mr. Rossavik to hook up if his septic system fails. Also the property north of
Rossavik would be required to hook up if their septic system fails. Both properties meet the city
ordinance requirement. The other properties that access off of Oak Side Ct. would not be
required to hook up if their septic systems fail. Sewer is not available on Oak Side Ct. at this
time. Last year an owner on Oak Side Ct. put in a new septic system because no sewer was
available.
Let me know if what any additional information.

I understand that the Planning commission has recommend that Hillside Oak Block one
remain Large Lot
When one of the 7 owners of lot 1 through 7 septic systems fails , will the affectd
property owner be allowed to build a new septic system to replace the failing
one? ( one lot had a issue with a leaking drain field 8 years ago)
Or will the City enforce code 19-41 B or use any other means to have the property
owner hook
up to the adjacent City Sewer Connection.
(This again will bring any neighbor lot into 150 feet pr City interpretation of City code
19-41B?)

I believe we had stubbed an 8" PVC @0.4% grade at Oakside Circle and near

When URS ( when BRW) did the Powers Blvd improvement, they stubbed sever
across Powers Blvd
from the lift station to 8750 and 8800 ( my) driveway
In addition they stubbed the same to Hillside Oak Circle.
Greg Brown with URS should be able to confirm this.

I refer again to the enclosed letter from Paul Oehme PE.
He claims that City Sewer is not available at Oakside Circle
This is in strong contrast to Greg Brown from URS ( URS did the Powers Blvd Improvement)
Qoute :
"Arild and Mike,

Greg"
Is his comment.
Full email sent forwarded separately
Paul further mention that one property on Hillside Oak had their septic system replaced.
This was lot 6 facing Lyman Blvd but with deeded access to Oakside Circle between Lot 5 and 7.
If lot 6 had been required to be hooked up to City Sewer ( as my lot would have been ) because of a
failing
septic system, it would have triggered a hook up for lot 5 as well .
Lot 5 is owned by Council Member Craig Peterson .His tactics to avoid hook up to City sewer is
well documented.
I feel I and my lot is clearly discriminated against ;The City invest $1/4 million inutility improvements
for Hillside Oak Block
1 and now tell me that if my Septic System fails I have to hook up to City Sever. My property has the

sewer connection as Oakside Circle. This again would cause me financial hardship. I have during the
years
invested over $40.000.00 in applications fess, engineering cost and legal cost to access City Sewer the
way it
was designed for.
I find it hard to believe that the City made these improvements waiting for my septic or my neighbor to
the north
to fail..........
I will ask the City Council not to discriminate against me and Support my proposal for rezoning so I
can
feasible access these utilities as it was designed for. ( They have stood unused for ten years at now a

Dear Planning Commission Members
Ref Rezoning Request , Rossavik Addition
In 1990 Land use for Hillside Oak Block 1 and 2 was RLD ( Residential Low Density Response: See history in
staff report.
10 years ago City sewer and water including a lift station was extended to exclusive serve Hillside Oaks Block
One Response: Done as part of the Powers Blvd upgrade so the road would not have to be torn up later to add
sewer if it were needed.
But Since Land use is claimed to be changed, in Feb 1991 to A2 Large Lot 2.5 Acre, for Hillside Oak block 1 only,
in contrast to City Project1993- 29, assessment roll B, implementing City Code 19-41 B ,( Mandatory Sewer
Connection ) which Designates Block 1 to be RLD, my three previous request to feasible hook up to these
improvements and abandon my septic system has been denied. Response: see history in staff report.
Last Fall the City changed the area South of Hillside Oaks from Large Lot to Medium Density (Town houses) and
the largest housing development in Chanhassen history is now undergoing there in addition to the extension of
Powers Blvd down to new 212 . Response: Town and Country Homes had a 444 unit townhouse project
approved in the 2005 MUSA. The property is guided for residential - medium density and office/industrial uses.
The proposed development is consistent with the land use. It also provided a transition from the single-family
homes in Chaska.
Further more The City this year Rezoned the area west of Hillside Oak from (A2) large Lot to RLD Response:
Stonefield addition isguided for residential - low density uses. The development is consistent with the land use.
The staff report recommends denial of my rezoning request to RLD , but would support if the owner of lot 1 also
would rezone. Response : changing one lot would be changing the character of the neighborhood. If two or
more contiguous lots were to change, we would not be creating an enclave of surburban density housing in estate
type lots.
This would leave Lot 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 with a large lot designation, and no feasible access to City Sewer and
water. Response: Sewer and water in Powers Blvd.
City Council Member Craig Peterson is the owner of Lot 5 and this serves his interest, he is known to be A Real

Lyman Blvd is being extended into 4 lanes to accommodate the increased traffic. The intersection Lyman
and Powers Blvd will soon be the most trafficked intersection in town, and leaving the southwest corner of this

I ask you therefore to support my Request to rezone to RLD This also would open for my other neighbors to
rezone and hook up to City Sewer and water in their own time

all the
way to City Council May 27th 2003.

To city hall council chamber members,
In the upcoming meeting for Arild Rossavik on development of his property, George and Jackie Bizek
would like to state we are opposed. Unfortunately, we are out of town at this time to appear personally at
meeting on February 21'. Our properties are adjoined and we actually share a driveway with him. We have
no interest in dealing with Mr Rossavik in his project to rezone properties. We have stated this several
times in the past and our view has not changed on this proposal.
Respectfully,
