V1SFrOR PRESENTATIONS: EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT, INSTALLATION OF A COMMUNTFY ORCHARD AT OLSON COMMUNITY GARDENS, AARON NOWAIC Mayor Furlong: If you'd like to come forward tonight under visitor presentations I'd invite you at this time. Tonight we are going to receive a presentation from Aaron Nowak who is a Life Scout working on his Eagle Scout project and good evening Aaron. Thanks again for helping us earlier tonight with the Pledge of Allegiance. Aaron Nowak: Yep, thank you. I'm Aaron Nowak from Troop 345 in Deephaven, Minnesota but I do live in Chanhassen and my project will be working at the Olson Community Garden in Chanhassen and we'll be planting dwarf apple and cherry trees and also raspberry and blueberry patches. The key goals for this project is to give the community a place to go and pick fruit for their families and also there will be self sufficient plants and the wall will have a 30 year life span and trees even longer. Here is the work site that I'll be working in. It's at, it's along Santa Vera Drive and it's the long stretch from the entrance down to the end. And the project details is there will be a retaining wall with berry patches over it. There will be 16 berry plants. There will be 8 blueberry and 8 raspberry and then there will also be 3 dwarf apple trees along the long stretch and right next to that there will be 3 dwarf cherry trees. Here's a blueprint of the orchard. Sorry if it's hard to see but the retaining wall will be 38 feet by 12 feet long and it's a 20 foot slope and then there, on the left there will be the 8 blueberry plants. On the right there will be 8 raspberry plants and then right next to that there is 3 cherry trees and 3 apple trees. Here's the budget for this project. The retaining wall will be from Timber Masonry and it's 38 feet and that will be $1,705.00. Then the trees and plants, there's 3 Montmorency Cherry, 3 Honeycrisp Apple, 4 Chippewa Blueberry, 4 North Country Blueberry, 4 Heritage Raspberry and 4 Ann Yellow Raspberry and that would total $1,0 17.80 and the total for the whole entire budget will be like around $2,700. Here's some more details on the wall but we won't get into that tonight. And the labor cost, if we were to pay them $7.25 an hour minimum wage it would total 240 hours times $7.25 is $1,740 but it will be provided five by the Troop 345. Here's a timeline for the project. We plan on working, starting work September 20'h and we'll be building the retaining wall. We'll be amending the soil for the berry patch which we will have to make sulfur and sand and then we'll also plant the berries an edge for them that day. And then the next, or the next week, September 271 we will dig the holes for the apple and cherry trees and they'll plant the trees and also mulch and water. Any additional work will be on October 111 and I will water them for the first year to make sure they get established. And for tonight's actions I want, I was wondering if there was any questions for the project. I also want approval of the project and the budget. Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you Aaron. Appreciate the presentation. Questions for Aaron? Councilwoman Tjornhom. Councilwoman Tjornhom: Aaron, we've seen a lot of boy scouts come up, or Eagle scouts, boy scouts and give presentations about ideas and tell me how you thought about this idea. 0 CITY OF CWNSEN 7700 Market Boulevard PO Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 Administration Phone: 952.22T1100 Fax: 952.227.1110 Building Inspections Phone: 952.227.1180 Fax: 952.227.1190 Engineering Phone: 952.227.1160 Fax: 952.227.1170 Finance Phone: 952.227.1140 Fax: 952.227.1110 Park & Recreatio " Phone: 952.227.1120 Fax: 952.227.1110 Recreation Center 2310 Coulter Boulevard Phone: 952.227.1400 Fax: 952.227.1404 Planning & Natural Resources Phone: 952.227.1130 Fax 952.227.1110 Public Works 7901 Park Place Phone: 952.227.1300 Fax: 952.227.1310 Senior Center Phone: 952.227.1125 Fax: 952.227.1110 Web Site www.ci.chanhassen.mfl.us MEMORANDUM TO: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager FROM: Laurie Hokkanen, Assistant City Manager JL DATE: August 20, 2014 0 il RE- Resolution of Support for a private business (nicknamed Project Polly) application to State of Minnesota Job Creation Fund The City of Chanhassen has been approached by Greater MSP and a private business (identified as Project Polly) that is interesting in locating in a commercial industrial property that is currently under construction in Chanhassen.

Rosemount Emerson is an integral part of the Chanhassen community. As both our largest employer and an active corporate citizen, we would be pleased to see that expansion occur right here in Chanhassen. Over the years, we developed an excellent working relationship with Rosemount Emerson. When the company most recently expanded their Chanhassen operations in 2006, we processed the approvals and permits administratively and expeditiously. Last summer, when parking needs exceeded supply, our partner agency, SouthWest Transit, stepped forward to solve the problem by providing shuttle service from the downtown parking ramp, Chanhassen Station. In short, we have demonstrated that we are willing and able to partner with Rosemount Emerson. As an additional incentive, should Rosemount Emerson select the "SuperValu" site for their expansion, the City would be willing to waive any building permit fees for non-structural remodeling within the building. Additionally, should the acquisition also entail remodeling at their existing facility, the City will -waive building permit fQc&farlhe reconfiguration of production and testing equipment� excluding HVAC and Fire Suppression. The SuperValu site, located at 19011 Lake Drive East, is well suited for this project. In addition to the existing 156,330 square feet, there is ample room for expansion, with the possibility of an additional 75,000 square feet. Attached please find a detailed analysis of the expansion potential. Infrastructure in the area is already sized to handle the traffic, and no improvements would be required on the part of Emerson Rosemount. The site is ideally located just off of Highway 5. MnDOT continues to make improvements to Highway 5 in Chanhassen, including plans for acceleration lanes at the intersection (Dakota) closest to this site. Mr. Jim Gromberg November 16, 2012 Page 2 If there is any other information that would be helpful to Rosemount Emerson as they contemplate the best course of action to grow their company, we would be happy to assist. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Todd Gerhardt City Manager Laurie Hokkanen Assistant City Manager Kate Aanenson Community Development Director
