VISITOR PRESENTATIONS:
Debbie Lloyd: Good evening. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. That was a slam dunk. That
hasn't happened before but that's alright because I didn't have time to hang around tonight
anyway.
Mayor Furlong: I'm sorry, what are you?
Debbie Lloyd: My visitor presentation. I just had some questions for you.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Debbie Lloyd: Were you aware that if Eden Prairie didn't approve grading on the Eden Prairie
side of Lakeside, that the final plat wouldn't fit as proposed? Do you know if Eden Prairie
approved the grading? Were you aware that a condition of approval for the Lakeside final plat
was to meet the wetland setback ordinance? Were you aware that the new wetland setback
ordinance that you approved was the only nay vote being from Councilman Litsey were lower
standards for that particular wetland? Did you ever see a list of wetlands when reviewing the
ordinance changes? Do other land owners know how the changes affected them? Did you sent
out notification to all landowners with wetlands and advise them about the changes? Are you
aware that these lower standards, along with the amendment, which you just approved, the
change in the building side yard setback, were needed to make the Lakeside development meet
the wetland setback? Ironic don't you think that we need to lower standards and ease up on the
superior design of a PUD in order for the original condition of approval to be met.
Mayor Furlong: Anyone else from a visitor presentation standpoint? Okay. We'll move on
then.
LAW ENFORCEMENT/FIRE DEPARTMENT UPDATE.
Sgt. Peter Anderley: Good evening Mayor, councilmen. You should have in your packet the
numbers and stats for last month. If there's any questions I'd be happy to answer those. Couple
of things that I want to remind the public about, one reminder is the winter parking is in effect
stst
from November 1 to April 1. No vehicles can be parked on the street between 1:00 a.m. and
7:00 a.m. or during the day when we have 2 or more inches of snowfall and those streets have
been plowed. Just to remind everybody again. So far it's been pretty good. We get a lot of
cooperation and the guys out working the road are not running into a lot of problems with the on
street parking. Second thing is Chanhassen has a number of lakes in the city. It's starting to get
cold. We're starting to get some ice forming on there. Remind parents and everyone to you
know watch their kids. Make sure they're being safe on the ice. You know you need at least
probably, at least 4 inches before you even think about walking out there and every year you
know it seems like we hear somebody falls through and we'd like to try to avoid that if we can.
Second thing going along with the winter months, the driving. Remember when the roads start
