Re: Paisley Park Museum
First of all, I want to express my most sincere appreciation to all the people that have reached out
to the Chanhassen City Council both before and after last night's decision.
I also want to say that I'm proud of the manner in which the people that were at the council
meeting last night conducted themselves. They were respectful of our governing process. They
also were understanding of the deliberate nature of the discussion that was afforded.
The council took the action to table the decision on granting the PUD for purposes of gaining
more information related to the plans and preparation by the city and the operator to
accommodate the property as a museum.
Some members of the council have concerns about readiness. I respect that view. I also have
uncertainty about what will happen when the doors open. I had this same uncertainty about what
would happen in the days immediately after Prince passed away.
In my view, however, city staff, businesses, and citizens have clearly demonstrated over the last
five and a half months that this community has the ability to respond as needed in special
situations for the public safety of both residents and visitors.
I remain confident that once questions are addressed, and if the PUD is granted, that the operator
will be committed to developing a balance between respecting the needs of the local citizens, and
serving the visitors that will come to Paisley Park, Chanhassen, and the Twin Cities area.

Official Statement Relating to the Paisley Park Rezoning Request
October 4, 2016
On Monday, October 3, 2016 the Chanhassen Mayor and City Council voted to
table the application for rezoning to establish a Planned Unit Development (PUD)
which would have allowed Paisley Park to operate as a museum. In doing so,
Chanhassen City Council acted within their authority as the city's legislative and
policy-making body. The application was submitted by Bremer Trust National
Association, the court-appointed special administrator of the estate of Prince
Rogers Nelson, who has formed PRN Music Corporation to operate the museum
and offer tours at Paisley Park. Council Members cited public safety and traffic
concerns, necessary site improvements, and the need for additional information on
impacts to the community as reasons for the 3-2 vote to table the issue.
The Chanhassen Mayor, City Council, and staff will continue to work with
representatives from Bremer Trust, N.A. and PRN Music Corporation to mitigate
concerns on the current application. The application, along with any changes, will
be brought to City Council for another vote on or before December 20, 2016.
PRN Music Corporation understood the risks of selling tickets prior to City
Council approval of the PUD. All questions regarding ticket sales should be
directed to PRN Music Corporation or Bremer Trust, N.A. The City of Chanhassen
has no authority on the sale or refund of tickets for Paisley Park tours.

Chanhassen is a Community for Life -Providing forToday and Planning for Tomorrow
On behalf of the entire community of Chanhassen, I wish to express my sincere
appreciation to the family of Prince Rogers Nelson and Special Administrator Bremer
Trust for their recent announcement to make Paisley Park available to be visited by his
multitude of fans around the world.
Chanhassen leaders and employees have received comments from thousands of people
since Prince's death on April 21, a majority of which were in support of Paisley Park
being preserved as an historic museum that celebrates the life and genius of this
entertainment icon who made his home in our community.
Bremer Trust has made application through City Hall for development review to rezone
the property for use as a museum. As is our responsibility, we will give this application
consideration including hearing comments from the interested public parties at a
Planning Commission meeting on September 20, 2016. 1 have arranged for a special
meeting of the City Council on October 3, 2016 to give final consideration to the
application.
From the documents that I've seen and the conversations that I've had with family
members and close friends, I believe that the plans for Paisley Park are in full
accordance with Prince's wishes. Much of his vision and design activity for Paisley Park
as a museum is already in place. He knew exactly how to showcase his production
studio for his fans in preparation for this eventual outcome.
Chanhassen will be pleased to demonstrate to the thousands of visitors to Paisley Park
the same hospitality and respect that Prince enjoyed during his time in Chanhassen.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Prince's Iconic Paisley Park to Open for Public Tours this Fall
St. Paul, Minn., August 24, 2016 — Paisley Park, Prince's extraordinary private estate and production
complex in Chanhassen, Minnesota, will open for daily public tours starting October 6, 2016. The family
of Prince Rogers Nelson and Estate special administrator, Bremer Trust, are pleased to share this plan
to realize Prince's long-term vision for the property.
Millions of Pdnce fans worldwide will have the unprecedented opportunity to tour the legendary, 65,000 -
square -foot complex, which served as the production studio and creative oasis for one of the greatest
and most beloved music artists of all time.
"Opening Paisley Park is something that Prince always wanted to do and was actively working on,"
stated Tyka Nelson, Prince's sister. "Only a few hundred people have had the rare opportunity to tour the
estate during his lifetime. Now, fans from around the world will be able to experience Prince's world for
the first time as we open the doors to this incredible place."
An application for development review and business plan have been submitted to the City of
Chanhassen. The plan calls for tapping the operational expertise of an experienced property
management team, which will also provide initial funding for capital improvements. The Estate will
maintain ownership of the property.
"The Estate is working with the family to form an advisory council who will provide valuable input on the
entire experience," said Bremer Trust President Craig Ordal.
As outlined in the plan, guided tours will take visitors throughout the extensive main floor of Paisley Park,
including the recording and mixing studios where Prince recorded, produced and mixed most of his
biggest hits. Tours will also include Prince's video editing suites, rehearsal rooms, private NPG Music
Club, and a massive soundstage and concert hall where he rehearsed for tours and held exclusive
private events and concerts. Also featured will be thousands of artifacts from Prince's personal archives,
including iconic concert wardrobe, awards, musical instruments, artwork, rare music and video
recordings, concert memorabilia, automobiles and motorcycles.
This will be an unprecedented and extraordinary opportunity for fans to experience first-hand what it was
like for Prince to create, produce and perform inside this private sanctuary and remarkable production
complex, which is also considered one of the greatest landmarks in the entertainment industry.
"The new Paisley Park museum will offer fans a unique experience, an exhibition like no other, as Prince
would have wanted it,n according to the official statement by Prince's siblings. "Most important, the
museum will display Prince's genius, honor his legacy, and carry forward his strong sense of family and
community."
Museum tickets will go on sale on August 26, 2016 at 2 p.m. CT for tours starting October 6, 2016. Visit
Official Pa isleyPark. com for ticket information and future Paisley Park updates.
FINAL 1:15 p.m.8/23/16
In addition to the opening of the Paisley Park museum, Prince will be remembered and memorialized
with an official family tribute concert on October 13, 2016 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Additional details and information on concert ticket sales will be released soon.
Prince sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He
won seven GRAMMY@ Awards, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award(D for the film "Purple
Rain," all of which are displayed at Paisley Park. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in
2004, the first year of his eligibility.
Prince was born in Minneapolis and made Chanhassen his home. Throughout his life he was actively
engaged in his community and quietly supported local schools and nonprofits.
Paisley Park is located at 7801 Audubon Road, Chanhassen, Minnesota, approximately 30 minutes from
Minneapolis.
Paisley Park media inquiries should be directed to David Beckwith at David(a)thebeckwithcoml)any.

ffince heirs struggle with managing his estate
CY
The six disagree over payment of attorneys'
fees and banles role in distributing assets.
By EMMA NELSON
enozoa�nelson@staruibwe.com
It looks like determining
Prince's heirs mighthave been
the easy part.
The six people who stand
to inherit the multimillion
dollar estate are divided over
how to proceed, months after
they were identified as heirs
and nearly a year after the late
inegastar's body was found at
his Paisley Park complex.
Recent filings in Carver
County District Court show
disagreements between the
heirs about how to use money
from the estate — estimated
at $100 million to $300 million
before taxes and expenses —
and who should benefit.
Prince died April 21 of an
accidental overdose of the
painkiller fentanyl. His heirs
are his sister Tyka Nelson and
half -siblings Sharon, Norrine
andjohnNelson, Omarr Baker
and Alfred Jackson.
The heirs have filed attor-
ney's fees totaling more than
$4million,rangingfromabout
$340,000 to the firm represent -
Ing Sharon, Norrine and John
Nelson, to more than $1.6
million for the two lawyers
representing Alfred Jackson,
according to court documents.
Sharon, Norrine and John
Nelson filed memorandums
arguing against paying the
attorneys' fees of the other
three heirs, saying they include
unnecessary expenses.
Meanwhile, Tyka Nelson
and Baker have objected to
paying more than $700,000
in attorney's fees and costs to
Stinson Leonard Street, the
firm that represented Bremer
T'rust in its former role as spe-
cial administrator. Nelson and
Baker, through their attorneys,
argued that Stinson failed to
prove the fees — which rep-
resent just a month ofwork —
benefited the estate.
Additionally, Nelson and
Baker argued, "Stinson has
been less than forthcoming!'
with the heirs since Prince's
death, "and caused confusion
among various partim"
In late January, Carver
County judge Kevin Eide
appointed Comerica Bank and
Thist as personal representa-
tive fbrthe estate, and the bank
took overBremer's duties with
the heirs'unanimous support.
But court documents show
that's caused problems, too,
Ina swornstatement March
10, SharonNelsonsaid Comer-
icahasift made good onprom-
ises to work with the heirs to
ensure Prince's legacy and dis-
tribute the estate quickly.
At a Feb. 28 meeting with
five of the heirs, Nelson said,
Comerica representativessaid
the bank would be in charge
of the estate for 14 years, and
"there would be no voice for
the heirs and no votes for the
heirs." At one point, she said,
.representatives from Comer-
ica spoke very harshly to the
[heirs], with one of the bank
representatives actually stand-
ing up within inches from my
face and speaking very aggres-
sively and saying that the heirs
have no say in the affairs of my
brother, Prince."
What's more, Nelson con-
tinued, ComericaN represen-
tatives "know little if anything
about the entertainment indus-
try and even less about my
brother'sbusinessspecificany."
What the heirs want, Nel-
son said, is to appoint a com-
mittee to make decisions about
that estate. It's not yet clear if
the rest agree.
Attorneys for Comerica
could not be reached for com-
ment. A hearing in the case is
scheduled for April 7

BACKGROUND
(-LWJ
�e L)l euj
On October 24, 2016, the City Council approved the PUD and Site Improvement Performance
Agreement for Paisley Park. As a part of that approval, staff was to report back on the how
museum operations are working.
ANALYSIS
Site Improvement Performance Agreement Required Improvements. The Developer shall
construct the following improvements by the dates indicated:
A. Re -stripe Audubon Road to include left turn lanes at the intersection of McGlynn
Drive/the southem access to the site by October 5, 2016.
This condition has been met.
B. Stripe the parking stalls by October 5, 2016.
This condition has been met.
C. Allow the Paisley Park North Access to remain in the current location, while restricting
access to "Bus Only" and "Right -Out Only" for passenger vehicles through signage. This
restriction would limit the potential for motorists traveling south along Audubon Road.
A permanent barrier island should be placed in the access to control the right-in/right-out.
This condition has been met.
D. A traffic study shall be completed at 6 and 12 months, as directed by the Public Works
Director, and shall include a level of service analysis of the intersections of Audubon
Road at: the northem access, McGlynn Drive, Coulter Boulevard, and Park Road. 'Me

study shall also analyze the pedestrian movements across Audubon Road at Highway 5
and McGlynn Drive. If the level of service at any number of the intersections fails,
and/or if the study identifies a pedestrian safety issue, the applicant shall install and pay
for the recommended improvements such as a rapid flash crosswalk to the roadway
system and/or the site.

MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES
Law Enforcement
In the last eight months (since October, 2016) there have been a total of 20 Calls For Service
(CFS) to Paisley Park. All of the CFS can be codified as MiscellaneousNon-Criminal and do
not fit in as Group A or B. The majority of the calls were false alarms, a couple of stalled
vehicles, and several medicals. There were four calls for suspicious persons and one complaint
of someone who stated they didn't receive their tickets online. This is a minimal number of CFS
for this location and has a negligible impact on our overall public safety mission in the city.
In summary, Paisley Park Studios LLC museum operations does not have a negative impact on
law enforcement services. They are a good community partner and have been responsive the few
times we have requested they add services; i.e. they contracted with off-duty deputies to assist
with traffic control during the memorial celebration week.
For comparison purposes, the Chanhassen Dinner Theater generated 27 CFS during the same
review period and the majority of those CFS are MisccllaneousNon-Criminal as well.
Building and Fire Department Comments
The museum uses a temporary tent for merchandise sales. A tent is a temporary structure and
has a permitting time of 180 days. Building inspections gave a 180 -day extension. The permit
for a temporary tent expires on September 19,2017 and cannot be extended. Apermitmustbe
applied for and all building and fire codes met.
Sewer Access Charge (SAC) determination and payment of all related fees have been paid.
Electrical, HVAC and electrical system have been approved. The sprinkling alarm system, egress
devices have been updated and approved.

Paisley Park Museum Update

The physical building plan currently meets fire code to function for the permitted use as a
museum. Recently, Paisley has improved their fire alarm system and notification systems to
include voice annunciation that would meet the requirements of an approved concert, in
accordance with plans submitted, for seating 1,375. In consultation with Building Official Jerry
Mohn, all exiting is in place, properly marked, and functioning to support both the museum and
an occasional concert if the conditions of the PUD are satisfied.
The definition of a conceit is: ANY live performance, which would include amplified music,
live artists, theatre lighting, etc. Whether the performance has anything to do with a tour is not a
consideration to these requirements. Any concert will require an on-site inspection of the
building arrangement prior to the city -approved event taking place. This will include a visual
inspection of the seating and stage arrangement to ensure adherence to the submitted plans and
applicable fire code requirements are met. Additionally, performers will be required to use the
sound board and speakers provided on site to ensure the alarm notification system works
properly as demonstrated during final acceptance testing. On-site inspections may include
observation of the actual event during operation.
The ordinance also allows for private events. Paisley should utilize the special event permit
process to ensure full approval from all city departments prior to the event. This would allow the
fire department to review applicable fire codes as they relate to whatever type of event is being
held beyond the perinitted use, i.e. clearing the main sound stage area of museum displays to add
a full stage and seating for a concert or major gathering of people other than a concert.
lim"Ery WIA
The operation of the museum continues to evolve as the owner refines their business model. Staff
has a good relationship with the operators and they are responsive to any concerns the staff has.

Subjeft Paisley Park Traffic Operations Review
Introduction
As part of the Paisley Park Museum approval in the fall of 2016, City staff was directed to assess traffic
operations approximately six (6) months after the museum opening. Since the previous 7801 Amdvbon
Road Traffic and Parking Stm,#, da ted Sep tember 15, -1016 and the 7801 A mAwbon Road Traffic and Parking
Sfaq� Smpkment, dated October 19, 2016 were based on a series of assumptions, the purpose of this
review is to determine how the transportation system is operating relative to the study expectations.
Therefore, the primary objectives of this review are to identify/compare area traffic volumes/patterns,
site trip generation, intersection capacity, and pedestrian compliance. The following information
provides a summary of the review findings.
Traffic Volumes
Intersection tuming movement counts were collected along Audubon Road at the following locations
between Thursday, May 18 and Saturday, May 20,2017. The traffic volumes were collected between
9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. at the Paislev Park site access locations to determine die daily traffic volume
profiles for the site, which are illustrated in Figure 1. A detailed trip generation comparison is provided
later in this review.
1) MN Highway 5
2) North Paisley Park Access
4) Coulter Boulevard
5) Park Road
3) McGlynn Drive/South Paisley Park Access
At the non -site access study intersections, only the weekday p.m. peak and Saturday midday peak
hours were counted. A summary of the weekday p.m. and Saturday midday peak hour conditions are
shown in Figure 2.
To illustrate how traffic volumes have changed since the Paisley Park Muscurn opening, a comparison
was completed between the recently collected data with the previous data collected in 2016. Based on
this comparison shown in Figure 3, trgffic volumes along Audubon Road (north of McGlynn Drive)
have generally increased by approximately 500 vehicles per day. The change is a result of a combination
of newly generated traffic from the museum, as well as general daily variations in traffic. During the
Saturday midday peak hour, minimal changes in volumes were observed. It should be noted that the
Saturday morning car events at the AutoMotorPlex have moved to Canterbury Park.

Trip Generation Comparison
A trip generation comparison was completed to identify how the museum currently generates traffic
(based on the data recently collected) in comparison to the previous study assumptions. The previous
study assurned die museum would generate approximately 150 peak hour trips and 1,850 daily trips,
which assumed 2 sold -out condition. Based on the recent traffic data collected, the museum generated
approximately 37 weekday p.m. peak hour, 85 Saturday midday peak hour, and between 550 and 800
daily trips, depending on die day of the week. Specific visitor or employee data was not currently
available to determine the ratio of vehicle trips to the number of visitors. A summary of the previous
study assumptions and the recently collected site trip generation are shown in Table I �
Table I Trip Generation Estimate
(1) Based on data provided by pplect Staff.
(2) Represents the maximum number of trips expected to be generated (assumes Sold -out tOum throughout the day) for both a weekday
and Saturday.
(3) 550 represents the % eekday daily traffic volumes, while the 800 represents the Saturday daily traffic Volumes.
Intersection Capacity Analysis Comparison
An intersection capacity analysis comparison was completed for the weekday p.m. and Saturday
midday peak hours to determine how area trsiffic: operations have changed since the museum opening.
Intersections were analyzed using Synchro/SimTraffic (Version 9) and compared to the intersection
level of service data provided in the previous study. A summary of the previous and current level of
service results from the intersection capacity analysis for the weekday p.m. peak hour and Saturday
midday peak hours are shown in Table 2 and Table 3, respectively.
Results of the May 2017 weekday p.m. peak hour intersection capacity analysis indicate that the study
intersections currently operate at an acceptable overall LOS C or better with the existing geometric
layout, traffic controls, and museum in operation. All side-strcets along Audubon Road also operate
at acceptable levels of service. However, it should be noted that the northbound left -turn queues
ficarn the MN Highway 5/Audubon Road intersection extend beyond the existing Paisley Park North
Access approximately 25 percent of the weekday p.m. peak hour. Furthermore, the wcstbound left -
turn 95th percentile queue at the MN Highway 5/Audubon Road intersection extend approximately
235 feet during the weekday p.m. peak hour, which is less than half of the available storage.

Comparing the October 2016 (i.e. n6n-museum) condition and die previously assumed event
conditions (i.e. PP Event (2k Guests) Car Only), the Paisley Park driveways, Coulter Boulevard, and
Park Road intersections operate at similar levels of service. The MN Highway 5/Audubon Road
intersection operates at an acceptable LOS C, with delays increasing more than previously expected.
However, the increase is this location is primarily a result in the change in traffic volumes unrelated
to the Paisley Park Museum and since the intersection still operates well within the acceptable range,
no mitigation is necessary.
Results of the May 2017 Saturday midday peak hour intersection capacity analysis indicate that the
study intersections currently operate at an acceptable overall LOS B or better with the existing
geometric layout, traffic control, and museum in operation. Comparing the October 2016 (i.e. non -
museum) condition with the May 2017 data, the operations are similar. At the Paisley Park South
Access, the maximum observed southbound left -turn queue into the site was approximately 50 feet
(i.e. two vehicles). This queue was a result of the security checkpoint location, which was immediately
beyond the gate. If queues on Audubon Road become an issue, the checkpoint could be moved fin-ther
into the parking lot.

Paisley Park Traffic: Operations Review Page 7
Pedestrian and Parking Compliance
Observations were completed to assess the number of pedestrians crossing Audubon Road to access
the Paisley Park area. This included crossings at MN Highway 5 and both site driveways. It should be
noted that there are no pedestrian facilities on the east side of Audubon Road and pedestrians are
discouraged from walking along the grassy area immediately adjacent to Paisley Park.
During the weekday p.m. peak hour, there were three (3) pedestrians that crossed Audubon Road at
both MN Highway 5 and the South Site Access. The pedestrians that crossed at MN Highway 5 were
using the adjacent trail and did not access Paisley Park. The pedestrians that crossed Audubon Road
at the South Site Access entered the museum parking lot. Throughout the day, there was a total of
approximately 12 pedestrians that were observed crossing Audubon Road at the South Site Access.
Pedestrian crossings in this location should continue to be discouraged, although no further mitigation
is currently necessary.
No pedestrian activity was observed over the course of the day on Saturday, although rainy conditions
were present which likely impacted pedestrian activity. It should be noted that pedestrian activity has
decreased since the museum opening. To provide some perspective, observations completed in
October 2016 during the museum opening weekend indicated approximately 59 pedestrians crossing
Audubon Road during the Saturday midday period. The reduction in pedestrian activity is likely due
to a combination of the restricted parking on McGlynn Road, additional area signage directing
pedestrians, and a general decrease in demand.
From a parking perspective, visitors to the museum are directed to park within the site and not along
McGlynn Road or Audubon Road, which prohibit parking. However, vehicles were observed turning
onto McGlynn Road, parking for a short duration, and making a U-turn in the cul-de-sac to access
Audubon Road. There were some vehicles observed going into Paisley Park from McGlynn Road,
with others making turns onto Audubon Road. While parking is not allowed along McGlynn Road,
the majority of the vehicles made an immediate U -tum and continued on.
