Following the city council meeting, the at~ched letter dated September 14, 1995 was sent to the Mayor and City Council in care of City Manager Ashworth. Mr. Ashworth passed the letter on to me for a response. My response dated October 5 is also attached. Upon receipt of my letter, Mr. Don Jensen faxed the letter back with the note written in the lower right hand corner. Mr. Jensen and I had briefly discussed this issue in the lobby of city hall on October 6, 1995.

FAX (612) 937-5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Park & Recreation Commission FROM: Todd Hoffman, Park & Recreation Director DATE: October 18, 1995 SUBJ: Park and Trail Conditions of Approval, Forest Meadow, JMS Companies The final plat of Forest Meadow, JMS DeveloPl11elllwas approved by the City Council on October 9, 1995. The following motion was made by Councilman Senn and seconded by Councilman Mason: "Councilman Senn moved, Councilman Mason seconded to approve the final plat for 18 single family lots and the final reading of an ordinance rezoning the property from A2 to RSF for Forest Meadow, JMS Development; and to approve the Development Contract and Construction Plans & Specifications, Project 95-18 as set forth in the staff report amended to delete the items relating to the outlot which are yet to be resolved between staff and the applicant. All voted in favor and the motion carried." BACKGROUND Forest Meadow was reviewed by the Park& Recreation Commission on June 27, 1995. The report presented~g!he commission that evening and the resulting minutes are attached. Upon conclusion of the discussion that evening, the following motion was made: "Andrews moved, Meger seconded that the Park & Recreation Commission recommends that the city council approve the Forest Meadow plat with the following conditions: 1. The park be platted as an outlot in the general configuration shown on the proposed plat. Park & Recreation Commission October 18, 1995 Page 2 . 2. The city shall compensate JMS Companies $24,000 per acre for the outlot at the time of the sale. (The same compensation offered to Mr. Stockdale.) 3. The city would do the mass and finish grading for the outlot per the city's plan at unit cost rather than at developer cost with the option of having it be an in-house project, if it's to the city's advantage. 4. All park and trail fees shall be waived for Forest Meadows. (These fees total $20,400 at the current rates.) 5. JMS Companies shall administer all work relating to the construction of the park's trail loop, trail connection to Fawn Hill Road, entry road and parking lot. The city shall pay unit prices for the materials consumed in this construction. JMS Companies shall assume all "soft" costs associated with this work. JMS Companies shall secure a minimum of three competitive bids for this work. These bids shall be submitted to the city for review prior to selection of a contractor. 6. The trail between Lot 14 and 15 shall be shown as an easement and paved prior to construction of any buildings. . All voted in favor and the motion carried." As the project progressed, staff and the applicant continued to meet to negotiate the conditions of the proposed plat. A variety of issues were brought to staff's attention for resolution. One issue that I was not made aware of was the applicant's intentions of removing up to 15,000 cubic yards (approximately 1500 truck loads) of earth from the park site to be used in developing Forest Meadow. I was first informed of this intent on September 19, 1995. Upon being invited into a meeting to address another issue, I became aware of JMS' s intentions to remove significant fill material from the park site. This information initiated a chain of events based upon the following question: Does the city wish to pay $26,000 per acre for 5 acres of property after up to 15,000 cubic yards of earth are removed from it? The attached correspondence has been disseminated and received regarding this grading issue. · October 9, 1995 letter to David Sebold, JMS Companies from me. · October 11, 1995 letter to me from Bruce Chamberlain of Hoisington-Koegler Group. · October 11, 1995 letter to David Sebold from Dave Hempel, Assistant City Engineer. . . . . Park & Recreation Commission October 18, 1995 Page 3 · October 11,19955 fax received from David Sebold and JeffSchoenwetter of JMS Companies. · October 12, 1995 letter to David Sebold from Sharmin Al-Jaff, City Planner. · October 12, 1995 memo to Roger Knutson from me regarding the purchase agreement. · October 18, 1995 fax from Gary Eidson, JMS Attorney. · October 18, 1995 letter to me from David Siebold. The issue of concern upon reading all of this remains-Is the city interested in purchasing the property after 12,000-15,000 cubic yards of material is removed from the site? My conclusion is that it is not in the city's best interest to purchase this property after the removal of 12,000 to 15,000 cubic yards of material. In the next few days, I will present a purchase agreement to JMS Companies based on my correspondence to Roger Knutson of October 12, 1995. If JMS Companies does indeed reject this offer (as their fax of October 11, 1995 would lead you to believe), the following options can be considered: 1. Terminate negotiation efforts. 2. Proceed to condemn the property. 3. Alter the conditions of the purchase agreement. I hope to have a three dimensional depiction of the existing topography and the various proposed grading plans for presentation on Tuesday evening. ACTION REQUIRED I need to know the commission's desired action if JMS Companies rejects the city's purchase offer. A TT ACHMENTS 1. Staff report dated June 27, 1995. 2.

BACKGROUND As the commission is aware, a portion of the Stockdale property has been identified as a potential parkland acquisition site for nearly two years. This identification followed the city's approval of two "private" parks in Lundgren Brothers' developments to the north (The Woods at Longacres and The Meadows at Longacres). A purchase arrangement was close to being consummated with Mr. Stockdale in 1994. This "deal" would have seen the park located in the same location with Lundgren Brothers developing the remaining property. Time passed and Jeff Schoenwetter of JMS Companies has now optioned the entire parcel from Mr. Stockdale. JMS Companies is amenable to continuing in the footsteps of past negotiations. You will notice that the proposed Forest Meadows plat resembles closely plans of the past. Mr. Schoenwetter is eager to move forward with his plat and would like to work with the commission. Negotiations with Mr. Schoenwetter have resulted in the following proposal for the Park & Recreation Commission's consideration: 1. The park be platted as an outlot in the general configuration shown Qn the proposed plat. 2. The city shall compensate JMS Companies $24,000 per acre for the outlot at the time of sale. . (The same compensation offered to Mr. Stockdale.) 3. JMS Companies shall mass and finish grade the outlot per the city's plan at no cost to the city. 4. All park and trail fees shall be waived for Forest Meadow. (These fees total $20,400 at current rates.) 5. JMS Companies shall administer all work relating to the construction of the park's trail loop, trail connection to Fawn Hill Road, entry road and parking lot. The city shall pay unit prices for the materials consumed in this construction. JMS Companies shall assume all "soft" costs associated with this work. RECOMMEND A TION It is recommended that the Park & Recreation Commission recommend the City Council approve the proposed Forest Meadow plat with the following conditions of approval: 1.

CHANHASSEN PARK AND RECREA nON COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING JUNE 27, 1995 Chairman Andrews called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Jim Andrews, Jan Lash, Jane Meger, Ron Roeser, Jim Manders, and Fred Berg MEMBERS ABSENT: Dave Huffman STAFF PRESENT: Todd Hoffman, Park and Rec Director; Jerry Ruegemer, Recreation Supervisor; Dawn Lemme, Recreation Supervisor APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Minutes of the April 25, 1995, May 8, 1995 and May 23, 1995 Park and Recreation Commission meetings were approved. CONCEPTUAL REVIEW, DEVELOPMENT OF 'STOCKDALE' GALPIN BOULEVARD PROPERTI', JMS COMPANIES. Todd Hoffman presented the staff report on this item. (Taping of the meeting began at this point in the discussion.) Meger: I guess I would just ditto some of Todd's comments as far as, I really don't have a problem with the name. I mane I could see...JMS Park or something like that but I'd be much more interested in seeing the grading done and the naming of the park going right along with that. Lash: I don't really have too much of a problem with the name either. The only problem I picked up on is that I thought it could possibly be confused with Meadow Green Park. Andrews: My only comment is I'd like to see this park happen and I think we're on the brink of having it happen and I don't want to blow it. As far as the name goes, I guess it's not so much that I don't like the name but I don't like it to be a condition of the sale. I guess I like the developer to have faith that we'll be wise and do the right thing and be cooperative but not as a condition. I think that's just kind of posturing point more than anything but as far as paying to have the grading done. I don't know what that would cost but I wouldn't want to see this thing fail because we couldn't find way to agree on that point. Meger: Any idea what the cost would be? 1 Park and Rec Commission - June 27, 1995 . Hoffman: No idea but we would investigate that, and we now have on staff a heavy equipment operator and if we have the cost and it was $8,000.00, we would allow, most likely allow or recommend that that money be budgeted to allow that construction to happen. If it's significant more than that, we'd look aLso we have options to look to in the future in regards to grading. I hope to have answers for you as far as what the costs would be. Andrews: I have one other question for the developer and that is, Todd had mentioned that the degree of completeness for the park being rough graded, seeded, paved, maybe some open areas leveled for volleyball or whatever. If that was the level of completion that you were anticipating, or was it something more than that? Jeff Schoenwetter: That's exactly what we discussed. So that anyone looking at it could have a visual concept of the park. Andrews: Okay. I think that's as far as we would normally take it so. A misunderstanding of terms more than of actual end result. Can we have a motion on this? Manders: I just have one question, and maybe it's for Todd. In terms of access to the wetlands area, and I realize that this probably doesn't connect up with that, but is there any concept in terms of trail access through this park, or how does that fit in here? Is it just intended to link up to this road or what would happen? . Hoffman: Yeah, the interior trails is intended to hook up with the roads so we have access to the 17 lots. We did investigate the possibility of running the Meadows at Long Acres trail up and around and then connecting this southwest corner. There's a large wetland in this area and also we have the bottom of the hill at the back of these lots...before we hit the park. In lieu of that, the trails simply come out south of these properties to Galpin Boulevard and connect back up to the park. This is not a good option. Andrews: Okay. I wanted to make a comment about, I guess what I'd call item 6 which in your recommendation here you start out with an addition, a proposed trail easement located between Lots 14 and 15, shall be 20 feet in width and so forth. I guess I'd want to see point 6 being that that easement is actually paved prior to buildings be constructed. Again, what we've seen in the past is once people have their houses and then when we come back and say we'd like to pave that easement between your house and your neighbor's house, they come running in here and they don't want the riff raf and the berm peepers, as they've called them and the people that hide behind trees and all, you know whatever other terms but they don't want that trail there because it's changing the status quo. We'd like to see that easement paved so it's obvious and known to all that this is a linkage to the park and to our trail system. . 2 . . . Park and Rec Commission - June 27, 1995 Jeff Schoenwetter: We'd agree to that. Andrews: Somebody want to make this as a motion then? Can we summarize the points Todd, or do we have to read them all in for the Minutes? Hoffman: You can state them that they're as written or changed. Items 1 through 6. Andrews: Well I'll give it a shot. I move that we accept staff recommendation subject to the following changes. That we accept point 1 as written. Accept point 2 as written. That point 3 be that the City would do that at unit cost rather than at developer cost with the option of having it be an in-house project, if it's to the City's advantage. Lash: Could you clarify that for me? Andrews: What I mean by that is, that .the City would pay for the grading that the developer would incur, or that the developer would do. But if it was to our advantage to it in-house, that'd we have the option to do it ourselves. Lash: Why would it be to the City's advantage to do it? Andrews: We now have a heavy equipment operator on. Lash: I know. As opposed to them doing it at no cost to us. Andrews: Well it's not to our advantage to give that away. Lash: Right. Jeff Schoenwetter: We aren't willing to do it at the present... We're losing money that we're paying for that per acre, plus you've asked us to incur all the soft costs, management fees and operate that as a service to you. We feel that's a reasonable contribution but we can't, without even know what the city's grading plan looks like, this could be a $2,000.00 item or it could be $12,000.00 or I suppose it could be $100,000.00, depending on what the city's plan looks like. Andrews: My motion is that we. Lash: Okay, can I, I just want to clarify this because if you get it, then I'm not going to know what to do anyway if I don't know really what you're. Keep going and then I'll make my comments when you're done. 3 Park and Rec Commission - June 27, 1995 . Andrews: Okay, thank you. I have to ask Todd a question. Why are we waiving the fees? Lash: That's my question. Andrews: Is that a work off against the purchase price? Hoffman: Correct. Purchase price was higher than $24,000.00. ...to administer the engineering costs and that work. Andrews: Okay. Point 4 would be as written then. Point 5 would be as written. The additional point 6 would be that the trail between Lot 14 and 15 shall be shown as an easement and paved prior to construction of any buildings. And that's my motion. Meger: Second. Andrews: Motion has been made and seconded. Now, is there any disc.ussion? Lash: I guess what my question was, and it's been answered but with the fees waived, I was thinking that the opt of waiving the fees was that we were getting grading. In the original plan that we had, we were purchasing outright this parcel at $24,000.00 an acre and that we were incurring that cost. We're incurring that cost now plus we're waiving $20,000.00 in fees. What I was thinking is, I want to make sure that we're getting, that we're recouping the $20~000..00 in fees that we're waiving in some manner and my original thought, in the recommendation, was that the grading was the opposite of the $20,000.00 in fees that we're waIvmg. . Andrews: Your response to that was that the cost was actually more than $24,000.00 so we're. Hoffman: Yeah. $20,000.00 will offset a variety of things. The additional cost, the way we purchased the land. However, in my...did not consume the whole $20,400.00 but then you can split that cost between the grading or administration grading or the administration of the... which side of the line do you want to come down on and how do you want to negotiate that. Andrews: Well this $20,000.00, I tell you we don't have a good handle as where that's going and what it's doing I guess. Hoffman: About $10,000.00 of it is going to additional land costs.

Andrews moved, Megel" seconded that the Pmk and Recreation Commission recommends that the City Council approve the proposed Forest Meadow plat with the following conditions: 1. The park be platted as an outlot in the general configuration shown on the proposed plat. 2. The city shall compensate JMS Companies $24,000.00 per acre for the outlot at the time of the sale. (The same compensation offered to Mr. Stockdale.) 3.

This plan . is in response to our discussions oflate last week. The two alternatives prepared by Mr. Bruce Chamberlain of Hoisington-Koegler Group, Inc. are attached. As you can see, the city's preferred park plans result in a net cut of approximately 2,700 cubic yards of material. The city would be pleased to allow JMS Companies to make use of this material.

Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear Todd: Enclosed are two grading concept plans for the Stockdale property. The plans are the same as those I faxed to you on Monday but the grading calculations which I sent you were in error. When calculating the grading quantities I mistakenly based the majority of calculations on a one foot contour interval rather than a two foot interval which is what the plan shows. I sincerely apologize for this mistake and hope it did not cause you undo problems. . The grading quantities have been totally recalculated and are shown on the plans. I am confident that the quantity calculations are an accurate reflection of the grading plans. As we discussed before, it is my opinion that Alternative I is the preferred plan because it preserves the character of the site. Alternative 2 changes the character of site but still allows the retention of existing vegetation and drainage patterns. More extensive grading can be accomplished on the site but it will be a very different place than it is today. I hope this provides you with the information you need to proceed with property negotiations. Again, I apologize for the miscalculations. If there is anything I can do to further explain the grading concept plans, please let me know. Sincerely, t~l.~ Bruce L. Chamberlain, RLA Park Planner Ene. .

Dear Ms. AI-Joff: As you may know, we are counsel to ],M.S. Development Corporation ("JMS11). We are surprised at the contents of your correspondence to Mr. Sebold of October 12, 1995, which does not accurately ret1ect the action of the City Council taken on October 9, 1995. At the subject meeting of the City Council, four representatives of JMS, including myself and the proje.ct engineer, appeared and made short presentations. The essential purpose of those. presentations was to provide the Council background concerning the progress of negotiations regarding the potential sale of the proposed outlot and the developer's frustration at what it perceived to be a last-minute desire by the Park Department to prohibit the developer from removing essential fill material from the outlot. Representatives of JMS also expressed the.ir view that, while they remain interested in negotiating in good faith the terms of any purchase by the City of the outlot, it is critical to the success of the development that two model homes be started this Fall so that they are completed by the time of the Spring preview. Based on this showing, the City Council approved the proposed Forest Meadow plat without any conditions concerning the purchase and sale of the outlot and with the condition .

This approach permits the. development to remain on sche,dule while still providing time for JMS and the City to continue their negotiations concerning the terms of the potential sale and purchase of the outlot JMS remains committed to working in good faith with City staff towards an agreement on the City's purchase of the outlot, but any such agreement must address the need of JMS for additional fill and the present availability of that fill on the outlot. In the meantime, we expect that City staff will act in accordance. with the directions of the Council. In this regard, the following conditions should be deleted from your correspondence of October 12, 1995 to David Sebold and the, proposed Development Agreement should be revised accordingly: 4a., 4b., 4c., and 17. ll1ank you for your anticipated cooperation. .

I am very concerned about the course that you have been determined to take regarding the grading of the outlot. If I . understood you correctly your consultant erred in the two plans for the park area by assuming that the grades on our plan were at one foot intervals. This would effectively double his estimates of material to be removed from the site. At the city council meeting both plans were acceptable layouts for the park. The layout with the least grading was the design of your preference. At the council meeting this plan would have generated less then 3000 cubic yards of fill material for our development. A secondary plan is a grading plan that would have generated approximately 6000 cubic yards of material. Both plans seemed to satisfy the council. The issue of concern to the council as brought up by you and your consultant was the accuracy of our grading plan which has approximately 12,000 to about 13000 cubic yards of material being removed from the park. This material is required on our development. In your memo to council it was inferred that our grading plan would remove trees and that the grading would create a site that would be substantially lower then Galpin Blvd. We represented to the council a conservative number of 15,000 cubic yards of material required to be removed from the outlot. Our plan in reality is between 12,000 and 13,000 cubic yard of material removed. I represented to the council that we would grade to our elevations plus or minus one foot. I provided the council a cross section of the grading plan that indicated that the elevations were at least level with Galpin Road or higher. Your consultants error places his secondary plan in excess of 12,000 cubic yards of . JMS Equities, Inc. I JMS Homes I JMS Realty JMS Development Corporation I 4725, Limited . material to be removed from the site. This confirms that our grading plan does not leave the site too low and we will not be removing trees within the outlot area. The course that you appear to be taking the city is the condemnation process of outlot A. The resolution that we offer to the city is to allow us to grade outlot A to our approved grading plan. Your own consultant confirms that there is an adequate amount of material to be removed from the site and have property that is usable for a park. It is my opinion that you have made this a personal issue and have disregarded any attempts at compromise or failed to see the impact of your consultants error. I have tried to deal fairly with the city on the sale of this land for a park. Your sudden insistence of a single concept for this area will cost the city substantially more money. .

This is a standard condition and it still applies. 16. The proposed stormwater pond must have side slopes of 10: 1 for the first ten feet at the normal water level and no more than 3:1 thereafter or 4:1 throughout for safety purposes. A landscape plan providing upland and wetland plants to naturally blend the pond into the surroundings is recommended. This condition has been met. The need for landscaping around the pond has been eliminated since the pond is temporary and will be filled in and replaced with parkland once the property located south of the subject site develops. 17. The house at 7210 Galpin Boulevard shall be connected to City sanitary sewer within 12 months after the final plat has been recorded. The well may continue to be used until it fails, at which time the property shall connect to City water. This condition has been modified to be in conformance with city ordinance. . 18. The proposed single-family residential development of 13.18 developable acres is responsible for a water quantity connection charge of $26,334 and a water quality connection charge of $1 0,640. These fees will be fine tuned during the time of final plat since credits may be given if the applicant proposes to assist with the trunk system. The fees are payable to the City prior to the City filing the final plat. This condition has been modified based on construction plan review. The revised connection charges for water quality and quantity are $10,548 and $26,173, respectively. 19. The applicant shall report to the City Engineer the location of any drain tiles found during construction and shall re-locate or abandon the drain tile as directed by the City Engineer. A drain tile system will need to be incorporated into the construction plans for those lots which are unable to discharge directly into either a storm sewer system or pond/wetland. This condition still applies. 20. The applicant shall extend street and utility service to the properties south of this development. A condition shall be placed in the development contract that the southerly street will be extended in the future. The applicant shall meet and resolve with the property owners to the south and City staff the placement of storm sewer facilities and extension of a street prior to final platting. This condition has been modified to read "The applicant shall extend street and utility service to the properties south of this development. A condition shall be placed in the development contract that the southerly street will be extended in the future." . . . . Don Ashworth October 3, 1995 Forest Meadow Final Plat Page 6 21. Lots 16 and 17, Block 1 shall be custom graded at time of building permit issuance. Individual tree removal, tree protection, fencing, grading, drainage and erosion control plans will be required for review and approval by the City prior to issuance of a building permit. This condition is no longer applicable. Due to grade changes within the development, staff agrees that Lots 16 and 17 should be graded with the initial site grading. ANAL YSIS The applicant is requesting final plat approval to subdivide 20.25 acres into 19 single family lots and 1 outlot. The property is zoned A-2, Agricultural Estate District and the proposal calls for rezoning it to RSF, Residential Single Family. The differences between the preliminary and final plat is as follow: * Fawn Hill Road has been extended to the south to provide future access and utilities to the property south of the subject site. * The number of lots has been increased from 18 to 19. The layout of the lots to the west of the cul-de-sac has been changed. In the preliminary plat stage, all lots had direct street frontage. In.the final plat, Lot 7, Block 1, will gain access via a private driveway shared with Lot 8, Block 1. The private driveway must meet all private driveway ordinance requirements. A cross access easement will be required. The average lot size is 31,546 square feet with a resulting gross density of 0.8 units per acre. The site is located west of Galpin Boulevard and approximately 2,500 feet north of Highway 5. Access to the subdivision will be provided from the north via an extension of Fawn Hill Road which will connect this subdivision with Galpin Boulevard to the east (through The Woods at Longacres/Lundgren Bros. property). The proposal shows Fawn Hill Road ending in a stub to the south, servicing all lots with the exception of Lot 6, Block 2 (existing house) which currently gains access off of Galpin Boulevard. All of the proposed lots meet the minimum area, width, and depth requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Outlot A, as shown on the plat, will serve as a future park for the area. The site has a dense concentration of mature trees along the northwesterly comer and the center of the site. The majority of these trees will be saved. Trees within the northwesterly comer of the site are located on top of a bluff. None of these trees will be lost. A tree preservation easement over the wooded areas within Lots 7 and 8, Block 1, is required. This easement will prevent any construction from taking place and subsequently preserving the trees. Don Ashworth October 3, 1995 Forest Meadow Final Plat Page 7 . The Park and Recreation Commission is recommending a 5 acre park (Outlot A). The plat reflects a park slightly less than that in size. The applicant has agreed to modify the size of the park accordingly. In reviewing this plat, staff also had to look at access to the property to the south. While these property owners are not ready to develop or subdivide at this time, staff wanted to ensure that they have adequate access and utility services. Staff met with the property owners to the south and the applicant. A future street and utility access to the property located south of the subject site will be provided. In summary, staff believes that the proposed rezoning and subdivision is well designed. We are recommending that it be approved with conditions outlined in the staff report. REZONING The applicant is proposing to rezone the property from A-2, Agricultural Estate District, to RSF, . Residential Single Family. The area to the north and west is zoned Planned Unit Development Residential. The area to the south is zoned A-2, Agricultural Estate District and is guided for Residential Low Density. The area to the east of the site is zoned Residential Single Family. The 2000 Land Use Plan shows this area designated for development as Low Density Residential, 1.2 - 4.0 units per acre. The applicant's proposal has a gross density of 0.8 units per acre and 1.3 units per acre net after the streets and park land are taken out. This area is in the MUSA area. Staff is recommending that this area be rezoned to RSF and the rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

Fawn Hill Road/Court 1.49 acres TREE PRESERVATION/LANDSCAPING Within the proposed development, wooded areas are concentrated in two locations along the northern boundary. Species present include oaks, elms, ash, basswoods, and box elders with occasional cedars, ironwoods, pines, and plums. Many oaks are large and the woods are generally healthy. Baseline canopy coverage for the site is 16.6% (95,311 s.f.). Required minimum canopy coverage after development is 25% (143,870 s.f.). Impact on the wooded areas due to construction is minimal. Canopy removal is limited to Lots 4 and 5, Block 2. A total of9,150 s.f. will be removed on those lots leaving 86,161 s.f. of canopy coverage on site. Since existing coverage is below the required minimum, removals will be replaced at a rate of 1.2 times the 9,150 s.f. Also, 57,709 s.f. must be reforested to meet the 25% minimum canopy coverage. This equates to 53 trees for reforestation and 10 for replacement plantings. The 63 trees required by ordinance shall be planted on Lots 1-17. Through negotiations with the applicant regarding the park land purchase, it was agreed that the applicant will plant 2 trees per lot and 10 additional trees within the development. The city will install 19 trees on the future park land. . . Don Ashworth October 3, 1995 Forest Meadow Final Plat Page 10 GRADING AND DRAINAGE A grading and drainage plan has been prepared, for the most part, in accordance with staff s recommendations. Grading has also been proposed on Outlot A (parkland). Staff was not able to agree with the applicant on grading Outlot A (parkland); therefore, staff has directed the applicant's engineer to delete any and all grading on the outlot with the exception of the temporary storm pond located in the southwest comer of Outlot A. Staff will be preparing a grading plan for the parkland and will proceed with development of the parcel at a future date. . Storm drainage and ponding calculations have been submitted to City staff for review and approval. Staff finds the development to be in accordance with the City's Surface Water Management Plan. Since this parcel is at the headwaters of the Watershed District, it will be necessary in the future to construct a trunk storm sewer line and storm water quality and quantity pond downstream of this development. Therefore, at this time the applicant is being required to pay the City water quality and quantity connection charges in accordance with City ordinance. Based on the final plat staff has calculated a total area of the development at 13.18 acres, not including Outlot A. The stormwater quantity connection charge has been calculated at $26,173 based on 13.18 acres of developable land. The stormwater quality connection charge has been calculated at $10,548. These fees are payable to the City prior to the City signing the final plat. The applicant's engineer has developed a sediment and erosion control plan in general accordance to the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. Staff will be working with the downstream property owners in the future to acquire temporary drainage easements and consider installation of a temporary storm drainage system and permanent ponding facilities downstream to accommodate this development and future development to the south. These improvements are not necessary in order for this project to proceed at this time. UTILITIES Detailed street and utility construction plans and specifications have been submitted to the City for review and approval. Staff has reviewed the construction plans and specifications and finds them in general accordance with the City's standard specifications and detail plates. The construction plans, however, require some minor plan modifications which will be revised shortly. Overall, the plans are fairly well laid out. Staff requests that the City Council grant staff the flexibility to administratively approve the revised construction plans as they are completed in accordance with City standards. Final construction plans will be available for review in the Engineering Department by October 9, 1995. . The existing property owner on Lot 6, Block 2 (Mr. Stockdale), has requested the City to defer sewer hookup to the existing residence on Lot 6, Block 2. Staff believes that this property should be connected to City sanitary sewer within 12 months after the final plat has been recorded. Don Ashworth October 3, 1995 Forest Meadow Final Plat Page 11 . The applicant should dedicate on the final plat a 20-foot wide drainage and utility easement centered on the common lot line between Lots 1 and 8, Block 1 for utility extension to Lot 7, Block 1. STREETS Street construction plans and specifications have been submitted to the City for review and approval. Staff has found the plans in general conformance with the City's standard specifications and detail plates. Overall, the construction plans are generally complete; however, staff found some minor modifications which will be revised shortly. All of the lots with the exception of Lot 7 will be serviced via public streets. Access to Lot 7 will be through a private driveway. The private driveway will need to be in compliance with City ordinance. The driveway shall be built 20 feet wide to a 7-ton pavement design. A 30-foot wide driveway easement will also be needed to provide access to Lot 7 through Lots 6 and 8, . Block 1. MISCELLANEOUS The City's policy for issuance of building permits other than a model home requires that the streets required for access be paved with the first lift of asphalt and the utilities tested and approved by the City. A building permit may be issued for one model home adjacent to a paved street once the final plat is recorded. The certificate of occupancy will not be issued until the streets are paved and utilities tested and approved by the City. This condition is listed in the development contract. The trail as shown on the preliminary plat has been relocated to the south end of Farm Hill Road. Staff and the applicant believe this is a better location and will have less impact on the adjacent parcels. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council adopt the following motion: "The City Council approves second reading to rezone (#95-4 REZ) 20.25 acres of property zoned A-2 to RSF for Forest Meadow as shown on the plans received October 2, 1995 and subject to the following conditions: . . . .

On lots with fill material that have been mass graded as part of a multi-lot grading project, a satisfactory soils report from a qualified soils engineer shall be provided before the City issues a building permit for the lot. On lots with fil~ material that have been custom graded, a satisfactory soils 'report from a qualified soils engineer shall be provided before the City inspects the foundation for a building on the lot. . . GC-ll City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 FOREST MEADOW. JMS DEVELOPMENT. FINAL PLAT APPROVAL OF 18 SINGLE FAl\1ll,Y LOTS AND FINAL READING OF AN ORDINANCE REZONING TIlE PROPERTY FROM A2 TO RSF; AND APPROVE DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT AND CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. PROJECT 95-18. Mayor Chmiel: Kate. Kate Aanenson: I have nothing to say. We recommend approval of the plat as per the conditions in the staff report. The applicants requested to pull it. Mayor Chmiel: Very good. Okay, you're on. Jeff Schoenwetter: Good evening. My name is Jeff Schoenwetter and I'm with JMS Development Group. I'm here tonight because I'm disappointed. I didn't plan to be here tonight and I had hoped that our approval as stated could have been accomplished on the consent agenda. However, here in the eleventh hour there's some business issues that remain unresolved, or certainly not resolved to our satisfaction. There needs to be an understanding formalized between JMS and this Council. The deal that we contemplated is made up of several components here. This is a multi-faceted plat...outlot and the park. These components were not...priced but more importantly terms. Some of those terms, we were to retain our fill for our residential lots. We were anticipating a much earlier approval than this date in time and yet we were able through this deal that we had discussed with staff, anticipated being able to keep our models and therefore keep our absorption budget. Three, we were to maintain significant input to the park design, including things such as name, amenity levels and most importantly the timing of the completion of that park. I'm here tonight in the hope that we can maintain forward progress. Forward progress saves all of us money. Delays cost us all money. Please understand that at the city staffs request, we went down the park path. The goal in doing so was to facilitate an expeditious approval so that we could commence development this fall. That goal would have equated to a presence in the Spring Preview of Homes. If that goal is absent, our motivation to continue this path will cease, and the reason for that is that our delay in costs will continue to increase. The basic business deal has changed. That has forced us off the consent agenda and to be here tonight to formalize an understanding and hopefully yet seek an approval. You as a Council control my costs very directly. If my costs go up, my revenue for my wholesale pricing of a sale also has to go up. I brought along three partners with me tonight that will make brief, 5 minute presentations. At any point during their presentations I invite you to ask them any questions you want and I'll come back with a brief summary and we appreciate you hearing us tonight because we can't go forward per the staff report. Dave Sebold, our Development Director will speak first talking as to exactly what has changed. What is different than his expectation. Roger Anderson, our engineer with the firm, his understandings reached with staff. And Gary Edson our legal counsel for some IO years will summarize three options that will be your choice as to how we can reach resolution hopefully to proceed. Councilwoman Dockendorf: Mr. Mayor? Mayor Chmiel: Yes. Councilwoman Dockendorf: May I ask a question first? Jeff, if I understand you, I've got two of your items. The amount of the fill and the design of the park. What was your first item that you take issue with? 23 . . . . . . City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 Jeff Schoenwetter: Model homes. If we had been in there, we originally anticipated approval on this the second week around the 9th of August, which would have facilitated grading and fairly rationally anticipated blacktopping by Halloween. Thank you. Councilwoman Dockendorf: Thank you. Mayor Chmiel: Maybe you could put those up next on each side of the podium so the camera can also pick that up. Dave Sebold: My name is Dave Sebold. I'm the Development Director with JMS Homes. Just to expand on Jeft's issues as it relates to the city's staff report. Our original plan, and the current plan you see before you, contemplated grading the park area with limited grading with this dotted line. We need to grade that area because we need additional fill for our lots up in these areas and the amount of 13,000 to 15,000 cubic yards. When you're negotiating with the city staff, the concept plan that's presently before you, was constantly talked about and having an open playfield area. A flat area for pick-up football games and soccer or whatever, to be in this area right here. We have always, in our concept felt that we would take the fill as part of the outlot and balance our site. As of this week, I believe Wednesday when we heard from the Park Department and today got the staff report, the recommendation was to delete that area out of our plat approval and grading plan. That will eliminate 13,000 yards of fill that we need on our site. We looked at the overall grading and our site is really controlled by sewer access from the Lundgren property to the north. The depth of that sewer is a set depth that we cannot change and that controls the depth of the cul-de-sac. So there's no way that we can adjust the grading on the site down. We need to either get the fill out of that park area, which was always contemplated in the plan, or we have to acquire it on site then if possible. If we can... The additional model, which really has to do from the sense of time that we were planning on having two models at the entry of the development. One across from the other. We were clear in our staff negotiations that because of our delays in timing we are going to bring on an additional builder in the development. We just feel that the absorption rate and the timing have to be increased because of...so we require two models to increase sales. We'll provide, and we agreed with staff that we'll provide any temporary Class V material for emergency vehicle access to the models, and there would not be any homeowner occupancy until the utilities were hooked up and the street was blacktopped. Those two issues were just unilaterally deleted in the staff report. What I had over here is today we received a report from a consultant to the city, by the way who appears to have prepared the original concept plan. What we've done with this drawing is really just taking a cross section through the park and the development, in two areas. The lower cross section runs from Galpin pretty much straight across the knoll area where we're getting most of the fill. As you can see that this is Galpin Road here, that elevation. That's basically this property line right here. The outlot and our lot property line is approximately right here. So it'd be this line right in here. And then this would be the basement floor elevations pads and then the upper pads for the lot. The blue area is the cut area. The orange area is the fill area. The grade for the park will not be down in a hole at all. It's constantly rising our proposed grade from Galpin up to our property line in that location. This is a cut on the other side of the run right through here. And it shows that our cut area up in this area is a little shallower. Again, the grade from Galpin to our property line is a constant upgrade. There's no, the park will not be in a hole. We are not removing any trees from the park area. The outlot area. We feel we presented a good...that works and will be a good park. If the city chooses to grade that area further or add some fill, that's fine. We'll work it in. If we lose that fill, it's going to make our project economically unfeasible. Now we have three other minor issues and I think that we can handle at staffs level. And those are we will be wanting to adjust the width of this lot... there's plenty of room on a lot further down in the development to take it out of there. So there will have to be some adjustments to David Stockdale's entrance to accommodate his driveway and the park and we'll need to provide a sewer easement through the parkland to Dave's sewer to his house. Those things can be handled at 24 City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 . the staff level... In general the engineering and the planning staff has been very helpful on the development. Where we've gotten hung up here is really with the Park Department so... Mayor Chmiel: Steve. Councilman Berquist: I'm just curious as to when this discrepancy came to the floor. In reading over the documents that were provided with the preliminary plat, Park and Rec conditions item A is that it be platted as an outlot A and the general configuration shown on the proposed plat. Now the proposed plat, and I haven't studied this terribly much but it appears to read very little grading. Am I correct here? Dave Sebold: No. We always contemplated that this area would be graded. I think our engineer can speak to that too probably better than 1. We were always contemplating that we needed fill from that area. Councilman Berquist: Uncut, what's the elevation of the top of this knoll? Dave Sebold: The elevation is 998 I believe. Yes, 998. Councilman Berquist: This concept plan that you just handed out, the top elevation there is 990. Dave Sebold: I cannot, just looking at it, they show a grade there of 990. I don't know jf that's the existing, what they show on the existing grade there. Councilman Berquist: Yeah, it comes across on the other side of the berm though. Does it come all the way across there? . Dave Sebold: This was a concept plan that was done for the city and I can refer the Project No. 9255, October, 1993. This was provided to us by city stafLand we were told to use it as a guide for the development of that park area... This is a 6 acre, appears to me...6 acre park. During all of our negotiations we were told that that play area was going to be incorporated into the development of the park. Councilman Berquist: Okay. So initially you were told to pay attention to this, if I'm hearing you correctly, which obviously would include pay attention to elevations but. Dave Sebold: Create a flat area for soccer and pick-up games. I think we've pretty much shown that... The knoll was an issue that came up in my review of this... Councilman Berquist: Okay. Was that addressed anywhere? Was the 15,000 yards of fill addressed anywhere within the development agreement. Dave Sebold: There is no development agreement. Councilman Berquist: Or within the preliminary plat. Is there any mention at all that we're going to bring in or we're going to. Kate Aanenson: There's a development agreement. Councilman Senn: Let me understand now. When you say knoll, are you talking about the berms? . 25 . . . City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 Dave Sebold: No. I don't know if you can really read, or pick it up here with the site in general climbs from Galpin and then up. In this area right here there's a little knoll. It climbs up about 5-6 feet at a time. And that's what we're looking at. The majority of fill coming off of that, correct? Councilman Senn: You're talking about the we leave most of the grade where it is and just removing that one little hill out there? Dave Sebold: Taking that knoll out of here and yeah, that's where most of the fill is coming out of. Our limits of grading are right pretty much here and we don't go into the trees. Councilman Senn: Well if your limits of grading are going way up there, that's way beyond where you're talking about this knoll. I'm trying to understand, what are you talking about in terms of the area you're going to grade? Roger Anderson: Mayor and City Council, I'm Roger Anderson: I'm the Civil Engineer on the project and we've done quite a bit of the background. I can answer specific questions about the area that would be proposed to be graded. There is a knoll, as Dave mentioned here but the area approximately 200 x 300 feet would be graded to a configuration that would allow the grading to take place at approximately I % grade across the open field area. A swale is proposed to direct that water to the temporary storm water management plan that we have shown on the drawings. In this area, long range draining for this particular site is going to be handled by one of the regional ponding facilities that will be constructed at a future date. When that happens that pond will no longer be necessal}'. Councilman Senn: Let's go beyond the word grading. Now let's talk cutting. How much cutting are you going to do? Roger Anderson: I believe the largest cut there would be about 8 feet. 7 feet on the highest part of that knoll. Councilman Senn: Okay, so other than that you're not going to be really changing the elevation other than the top part of that knoll? Roger Anderson: Correct. When we do grading there, we'll leave the site in a configuration that would be suitable for the sizing... Councilman Senn: ...elevation, you're leaving the elevations pretty much as they are now with the you know. Roger Anderson: Close to what they are now. The earth work process is a cut and fill one. Not just I cut one. Councilman Senn: So it will be perfectly level out there? Roger Anderson: Right. And the intent there is to, well that knob would be taken down. We'd also be reworking some of the earth work in the immediate vicinity to prepare that area as a reasonably flat play field area to be utilized for the field games that were anticipated. Councilman Senn: See that's what I'm trying to really get a handle on because I'm hearing two different things. From staff I'm hearing that you're going to effectively change the grades of that entire area and bring it down, and that's not what I'm hearing you say here. I'm hearing you say you're simply going to cut off the top of the 26 City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 . knoll and keep the rest of the elevations basically where they are, except granted, they'd be some infilling because everything's not perfectly level. Now I'm trying to establish, so which is it? Roger Anderson: Right now there's a berm here created by the preparation of the Stockdale farm. This entire area would require some grading. Because that area is approximately well 250 x 300 feet. In some areas that could be fill. In some areas it could be cut but when our project is completed, it will be the equivalent of approximately a football field in size and it would be suitable for field games. And that largest cut is approximately 7 feet which would be the top of the knob taken down to the finished grade. But in other areas the difference in elevation is going to be a matter of a foot or two. Councilman Senn: I'm confused. Councilman Mason: Me too. Councilman Senn: ...talked to Todd and Todd made it sound like the level of this whole thing was going down so much that it was not usable for park purposes. Now if this is in effect what's being done, I don't see a problem. I mean the knoll has to come down to make it into the level area we want it. I'm sorry, I'm real confused if this is the major issue. Roger Anderson: That would be our position. Our intent all along was to utilize that material but leave behind a suitable area that could be incorporated directly into the park. Mayor Chmiel: Okay, Kate? . Kate Aanenson: Can I give some background. Let's back up a little bit further here. If you recall when they came back for final plat they said that they were, had unanticipated fees that made this project unfeasible based on what Todd had recommended at that time. If you recall that discussion? Council directed staff to work with the applicants to see if there was a way we could get closer, because they said that the project was undoable at that time. Okay. Staff worked with them to see what we could do as far as park and Dave Hempel spent a lot of time. Actually redesigned the plat and came up with an additional lot, which we felt added some value to, to try to get those numbers closer. Again Todd's been negotiating trying to figure out what the fees were. Through that process they wanted a further refinement on what the park should be. Unfortunately we don't have an engineer here to counter a lot of these discussions. Again it's, that's their representation. I'm not going to comment. I'm not qualified to comment on that but I think you have to keep in mind that Todd and Dave did look at it and it was, even though they got the staff report on the park design, it is in Dave's report that there is not concurrence on the grading. That has been known for a while. That didn't happen at the eleventh hour. Those have been part of the negotiations since the plat. What didn't happen until the end is that Todd did not get from the consultant a further refinement of the design. There's two options in here that were presented to you. And those were, based on actually walking the site. Again what they felt would be appropriate. Part of the negotiations with the park fees were they're recouping some of their costs to spread the dirt and then we're stuck with a different site as part of the price. So we're saying if we have to go back in and bring in fill, that's a cost to us so that's something that I think Todd felt should be considered in the price of land. I'm uncomfortable at this point, when there's not an engineer or Todd's not here, to try to resolve a lot of these issues when again you're just hearing that representation. Unfortunately we can't duplicate what Todd's intent were on a lot of that but my understanding is that this is what the staff's recommendation and Todd's comments to me, if there's something different, he'd like to bring those back to the Park and Recreation Commission but that was, this is what they proposed for that site. Yes, there still is a play area on there. And the intent is to . 27 . . . City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 have the same components and a little bit different configuration. But it's his opinion that changing the grade we believe is more significant than is being represented here affects their park plan. Roger Anderson: Might I interject that these are our red line drawings from the city's engineering staff, and we submitted these I believe on the 28th and we got real prompt turn around time. Dave Hempel got these back to us very quickly so we could take a look at the changes. We've made the changes recommended in this plan and they'll be submitted to the city tomorrow. This will be our final construction document. The grades in here, even as marked up by the engineering department, are exactly what is represented in this drawing. This we got back the first of October essentially. That's two weeks ago. We've been in this process since May I believe and we've gone through several generations of changes to make our plat work as well as we can with the park and up until 2 weeks ago, our expectations, or at least based on the project review has been that we would grade the site and utilize the dirt and we'd move ahead. And now, just within the last few days a brand new scenario has been presented to us that turns all the things, many of the things we've done before around completely so. We're a little bit at a loss as to just how these changes have come to play. Councilman Berquist: Are you saying that the red lines from the engineering staff contradict what the Park Department is telling you? Are you telling me that the red line drawings that you have from engineering fly in the face of what you're hearing as far as grading from Park and Rec? Roger Anderson: I'm saying that the, we just received that today and I haven't compared it to this one. But as of two weeks ago we were proceeding with the understanding that we were going to grade the site. We presented grades to show how that would work. The engineering staff commended on those and with very minor changes gave them back to us and said, make these changes. This is the way the grading should proceed. And this has been a very recent turn around in that scenario on that. Quite frankly we're a little bit at a loss. We can't incorporate them in these plans. We've had many, many meetings with the city. The city has in fact asked us to incorporate the concept plan that was dated October '93 into our plans and that is shown. This is a very late addition to that situation. Councilman Senn: I want to stick with the engineer for a minute. Have you seen this? This is what, a concept? Roger Anderson: ...came today...copy that we got late today it was faxed. Councilman Senn: Between Alternate #2 here, the grades seem to be much more severe than what they're even proposmg. Kate Aanenson: Well I don't think, I think we need to have somebody from the engineering staff here. Again, you have to realize that there's a negotiations... Councilman Berquist: He's also saying he wants 15,000 yards and this worse case is only 6,200. Councilman Senn: Well but that's what I'm saying. Nothing's jiving. I mean I'm hearing you say you want 15,000 but I look at their own plan and they're not going to get 15,000. I look at this and this is even more severe than what they're telling me and it's only, according to this, 6,000. You know I mean, like I say nothing's coming together. 28 City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 . Jeff Schoenwetter: If I can answer two points that were incorrectly stated so that there's no misunderstanding and then I would ask that Roger be allowed to complete his presentation of the plan because he hasn't been able to make the points that he planned to make. Then we'll finish our presentation. We'd appreciate that. Two things. The grading issue wasn't at all how the grading plan should be built. That wasn't the issue. The grading plan was who should pay for the grading of the park. That item in the staff report has been deleted. That was the issue. It wasn't a question of quantities or cut and fill. The grading plan that Roger had that was red lined and returned by city stafLto make those changes, we're perfectly happy if that's the plan that's approved. What we're completely unhappy about is in the last 4, in the last 3 business days being told we can't do any grading on our outlot. That's total news and the grading plan that is red lined, yields us the fill off that site that we need and that was our understanding that that was the approved plan, red lined and given back to us so we assumed we were in great shape until Wednesday of last week when suddenly we were told don't touch the outlot. So the grading issue again wasn't a question of cut and fill or highs and lows. It was who's going to pay to grade the park. And I feel Roger should be able to finish his presentation and it's my opinion that the parks department is the one that came into this and changed the agenda at the eleventh hour. Not engineering and not planning who have been super cooperative and helped us when they decided to extend the street to the south. That yielded us a lot loss. They're the ones that came back to us with the idea of how to have no lot loss so that's been a positive experience. Mayor Chmiel: Okay, thank you Jeff. Michael. Councilman Mason: You know go ahead. I guess my comment is, you know go ahead and give whatever presentations you want but I can't imagine we're going to be voting on anything tonight without talking with Park and Rec and Engineering. . Councilman Senn: We'll have to sit through it again because we're going to need both. Councilman Mason: Yeah, I just yeah. I think anything you say tonight you're going to have to say again anyway. I mean I think that's kind of bottom line here because I'm certainly, there's too much out here that needs clearing up. I mean I'd move to table it but. I'm certainly not opposed to listening tonight but it's all going to need to get repeated again. Councilman Senn: Our staffs going to need to hear what you're saying and we want to hear both parts of it together. Todd Gerhardt: ...Todd comment and he was concerned, last Wednesday when they had the meeting he came in and expressed concern and JMS came in and stated that we're going to take dirt off your site that we need on our site and oh yeah, by the way, we're going to charge you for taking that...and grading your site for a park. And Todd said, wait a minute here. You know I'm not aware of any of this so that's where Todd's position was on this. Kate Aanenson: It's new information to us too so. Todd Gerhardt: That's where the two need to get together and come to terms. And Todd was working on a plan and tl}'ing to come up with an estimate of how much it would cost for him to grade it and what the benefits...his site going over to the JMS site would be and... Mayor Chmiel: Okay. I guess that's probably where this is all at. Is there something you'd like to say? . 29 . . . City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 Gary Edson: If I could Mr. Mayor, members of the Council. I'm Gary Edson. I'm an attorney with... representing JMS and I'd like to, if I could just have a few minutes, summarize what I think are the issues here and propose a couple alternatives and that would get us all where I think we need to be. You know we're here essentially to confirm what we understand to be the original agreement and there are three central features to that agreement. One was the developer would have the right to remove up to 15,000 cubic yards of fill from the outlot. Second...the developer is entitled to put two model homes up at a fall start. And the third is that the developer would sell the outlot for $26,000.00 per acre to the city. Now I've heard engineer...on those residential lots. It's essential. And city staff expressed to us their interest in having a flat play area in the location of the outlot where the house is removed so it was a win/win and that was the essential basis for the agreement we thought existed all along. We would not have reached agreement to sell the outlot for $26,000.00 an acre without the right to remove that fill. We're here to get an approval in a manner that is consistent with that agreement that will leave us in the same position that we would have been in if that original agreement was being performed. It seems to me that there are three alternatives that we can look at to get us there tonight, and we'd ask that you consider it and choose one... One would be to approve this plat with the condition that would permit the developer to remove up to 13,000 cubic yards of fill and...developers sell the outlot to the city at a price equal to $26,000.00 per acre. That is in essence what we thought our agreement was. The second alternative is to approve the plat with the condition that would prohibit the developer from removing any fill from the outlot and require the developer to sell the outlot to the city at a purchase price equal to the sum of $26,000.00 per acre plus the cost oLfill from off site. That would put the developer in a position he would have been in if he had been...and give the city the existing topography on the site, on the outlot. Their alternative is to approve the plat with the direction that the outlot be condemned and let the value of that outlot be determined by a condemnation commission. You know frankly you can ask Mr. Knutson but any condition that requires a development to sell property to the city under terms and conditions that the developer doesn't agree to is a condemnation. And I have a couple observations on condemnations. One is primarily in a condemnation the city's going to have uncertainty on valuation. This parcel's 5 acres and the price of $26,000.00 per acre is a total price of $130,000.00. You can accommodate about IO lots, maybe 11 so that price is $13,000.00 a lot, maybe less. We think that's an exceedingly good price. This is a bargain for the city and I mean reasonable people can differ on value but for example one of the comparables is the plat that we were recently involved with and you guys probably have some familiarity with. The To\ver Heights plat, that's comparable property. Comparable size. That actually was sold for 3 times this amount. This is a very favorable price and tonight we're at least... The other observation about condemnation is, the developer will be entitled to compensation not only for the market value of the property but also for the value of the fill... I guess so those are the three alternatives we have outlined and I think you're in a position to make that decision tonight. If we delay it further, if you table it, put it off for several weeks, the park alternative is one that's no longer attractive. There's an opportunity here to buy a park at an exceedingly cheap price but we need to make progress... The condemnation of the outlot is fine too. We're very comfortable with that... The three points I just want to highlight in closing is the original agreement would...the city to acquire that park in a very reasonable price. The City's park department now wants to change the deal and not allow us to remove fill. That's a substantial economic detriment. It changes the deal from our discussions significantly. We're willing to go forward but we want to be in the same position we would have been if the original agreement... There's a couple of side points I just want to mention in closing regardless of which alternative we come across tonight. We understand...sale of the parkland and understand that there will be a closing within several days of final plat approval... That there will be no...and that the development of the park will be completed sometime in mid- 1996. With that I'd turn it over to Jeff for a few closing remarks. Councilman Mason: Well no, you know now wait a minute. Well this is going to get tabled one way or another tonight anyway. I believe I stated that a few minutes ago. I mean even with Todd here, I've got to hear 30 City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 . from our City Engineer and I understand the predicament you're in but we have so much mixed information in front of us, I can't believe you would actually want us to make a decision based on this myriad of stuff that's going on right now. I mean we have a responsibility to do what's right for everybody here and we're hearing your side of it and I understand that but we don't, our City Engineer isn't here to comment on what you folks are saying or anything. That's my call but if I'm in the minority, so be it. Mayor Chmiel: Colleen. Councilwoman Dockendorf: Well I find it really frustrating. You were here 2 or 4 weeks ago and we haven't gotten anywhere or, I don't know what's going on with negotiations with staff but it seems that the two are either not communicating or you're coming out with completely different conclusions. What's going on, I guess is my question? You know. I don't want to debate this in a public forum. I mean this is stuff that needs to be worked out at the staffJevel and I guess I'm real frustrated with it. Mayor Chmiel: Yeah, I concur basically with that position. In fact that was going to be the recommendation I was going to make as well because I don't think this is decision making time frame right now without having staffs basic background information and we hear hearsay as to one to the other and I just am not comfortable with it. Mark? Councilman Senn: I had a few questions on your presentation. Approximately ten times. you referenced the original agreement. What original agreement are we talking about? To me that clears up a lot if somebody can. put an agreement in front of us. An agreement or memorandums going back and forth saying here's what . agreed. Gary Edson: There is no agreement. There's no purchase agreement. The city has no right... Councilman Senn: There's no memorandum? There's no progress? There's no nothing? Gary Edson: No. There's a grading plan, a concept' plan. There's been submittals that we've had as late as September 28th...grading plan... Councilman Senn: I understand. I'm just asking. Gary Edson: No, no. There's no written agreement. Our understanding was those...development. Councilman Senn: Okay... The other thing you said was, it's not an issue of who's going to pay for the fill, it's whether the fill's going to be removed or not. I want to make sure that's clear because I've heard a couple different things out of your side tonight. The issue is whether the fill is going to be removed or not. Not the quantity. Who's going to pay for it. Gary Edson: Well, if I said that maybe I misspoke. I mean the cost of the fill is the essential issue. Councilman Senn: But the cost of moving the fill is not at issue? Gary Edson: No. No, no. That's not. Councilman Senn: Who's going to pay for moving the fill is not at issue. . 31 . . . City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 Gary Edson: No. Our understanding is was, we would be able to take it and move it at our cost. Councilman Senn: Okay. Gary Edson: That was our cost. Kate Aanenson: I don't think that was completely answered by Todd though. I think you have to listen. Councilman Berquist: That flies exactly in opposite of what you said. Kate Aanenson: Right, that's what I'm saying. Councilman Senn: I understand. That's why... Mayor Chmiel: Okay. Councilman Berquist: Let's try and figure that out... Mayor Chmiel: If you feel there's some specifics that are entailed in here that are not correct and yet we don't have all the basic information back and Todd is here. Maybe we can go back to Mr. Hoffman before we get to that particular point. Do you have any additional feed that you can put in from what the memorandum has done to the discussions that we've had here this evening in relationship to the removal of those 15,000 cubic yards. Can you add anything more to that? Todd Hoffman: Additional information based on my memo that I sent this afternoon? Mayor Chmiel: Yes. Todd Hoffman: Well I can respond to questions but. Mayor Chmiel: Some of the discussions that have been had here, it appears from what they're saying that there's not going to be a depressed site and not be like a bowl once they even remove the 15,000 cubic yards. Todd Hoffman: And that's simply not the information that we concluded. If you take a site which is, has the physical limitations, it's only so hard to...based on number one, an optimum plan for a city park... And then a more aggressive cut where we have to try to get closer to what the applicants desire with the 6,200 cubic yards of cut. But again, that's not optimal for the city's interest. We're simply here to represent you. Why would the city purchase a piece of ground and then damage it's interest, part of it's interest on a piece of property? A conversation to...this afternoon from...those sketch plans was that the 15,000 cubic yards of material is taken out of there, that's approximately 1,500 loads of material removed from that small site. We will be in a depression. There's no doubt about that. Mayor Chmiel: Okay. Councilman Senn: Could we ask Gary to come back up here? What I'm trying to get at is you showed us a grading plan. The grading plan you have showed us shows less severe grading than his Option #2 which brings out 6,000 yards of fill. Now will somebody please tell me how his Option #2 can show 6,000 yards of fill and 32 City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 . you want 15,000 off the site and you're showing me finished elevations that are about what he is showing me taking out 6,000. Where are we going wrong? Roger Anderson: We just received this drawing today and I really didn't receive it so I haven't made the comparison between the two drawings. Earth work is not a precise process and there are many factors that come into play. There needs to be room for a little bit of adjustment on this but generally we can say we need 13,000 yards. It's available here and we can leave that site in a good usable condition. Councilman Senn: I want finished elevations and if what you're showing me on finished elevations is true, that's where my confusion's coming in. Roger Anderson: I can take a look at the red line. The one we got back from the engineer. He's looking at a 92 and a 93 elevation through there. The top of that knob was at 986 so that's approximately 5 feet difference but you have to remember the site is not smooth and graded right now. It's a rolling, there's some topography there on that site. So \vhen we come in the amount of cut areas throughout the site, the amount of top soil varies throughout the site and to quantify that takes a good deal of calculations on it...necessary that we sit down and calculate it out. That's what we do on the entire thing. So for me to capsulize an answer is tough. We feel that what we've shown there will generate the approximate fill that we need. And apparently the park plans differ from that. Councilwoman Dockendorf: But to be 9,000 yards off. I just don't understand. Roger Anderson: That's a substantial amount and... . Jeff Schoenwetter: The city reviewed our plan that they red lined and sent us back and we're okay with that. Councilman Senn: No, I understand that. The problem is...What are, I'm just curious, what...what's important to you? Trying to get model homes built. Jeff Schoenwetter: I'm going to close with Dave Stockdale. Councilman Senn: No, no, just tell me what's important please. Jeff Schoenwetter: And I'm not going to go on paying Roger to redraw plans. What's important to me is to get a plat approval tonight so I can get two model foundations in the ground before the frost comes. And that's all that's ever been important here. Councilman Senn: And you need to move the fill to do that? Jeff Schoenwetter: No. No, I can move the fill next week or next month or next year. But I need an approval to get the two permits to get in the ground so I can have a house done in February, two homes to have in the Spring Preview and it's the end of October. I can't come back in November and still expect your staff to review a building permit and issue it by the end of November, or the 15th. I won't have a house done in February. We anticipated approval on this in early August and I feel to hear about this 2 to 3 business days ago, I don't know what agenda Todd Hoffman's working on but we've got a red lined grading plan back from the engineering staff that we anticipated was a green light to go. I paid Roger Anderson to redraw the plan to . 33 . . . City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 conform with it. And now I hear no, that isn't what we want to do. Well I don't want to do it either. I'm here tonight. Mayor Chmiel: Jeff, Jeff, let me just. Settle down a little bit. You're getting just a little bit excited and I can understand that. But I think really where we're going with this whole thing, what we really should come up with a conclusion is one, get those elevations. Number one. Number two, how many trees are going to be removed from the site to see, and you're saying none. Then I'd like to also see what the mass grading would be of the entirety. Councilman Senn: But it seems to me Don that the only issues of mass grading as it relates to the park site. Okay. And I'm just, I'm trying to think through something here. I mean again, I appreciate a little bit the position they're in with the time of the year. Mayor Chmiel: Oh yeah, and I understand that too. Councilman Senn: It seems to me we could go ahead and approve the plat but carve out the section relating to the park as an issue that still needs to be resolved because if they don't need the fill from there to go ahead with the rest and do the models, it seems to me that gives staff and them time to get back and work out that issue and it seems to me nobody is handicapping each other one way or another because ultimately staff can simply move to condemnation if that's what we've got to do. Mayor Chmiel: Yeah. My only concern there of course is the alternative is the condemnation is the $26,000.00 that we're paying and then if in the event that that doesn't move, and they're saying we have to bring in dirt to provide them so they can do what they need to do on site, bring it back up to their grade. Councilman Senn: Well I'm not as confident as they are that they'd win on that issue of the fill but I've seen a lot of condemnations that went exactly the opposite way too. Mayor Chmiel: Well sure. I don't feel uncomfortable... Councilman Senn: I'm just saying that's an issue that I think can be resolved independently but we could still let them get started and go ahead without hurting ourselves. Or I don't think handicapping ourselves in any way, unless Roger wants to... Mayor Chmiel: Well I don't know where our leverage would be. Roger. Roger Knutson: Maybe I can ask a question. If the grades on your grading plan don't yield 15,000 cubic yards, are you going to change the elevations on your grading plan? Ignore them so to speak to get 15,000 cubic yards? Are you going to go until you've got 15,000 cubic yards or are you going to stop when the elevations are on the grading? Roger Anderson: Based on the earth work involved, we could take less than that or in that range. Because of soil behavior we can't predict that number precisely so it could well be 12,000 yards or whatever but we would like the site to balance because that is the best we can do with it. Roger Knutson: Are you going, to make myself clear. When you hit the elevations on your grading plan, are you going to stop grading if you don't have the dirt you need? 34 City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 . Roger Anderson: We'll grade to these elevations that we've shown. Roger Knutson: That's on the grading plan that Dave Hempel has approved? Roger Anderson: Yes. And that's what we've tried to... Roger Knutson: So if you don't get 15,000 cubic yards, you're done? Gary Edson: We'll have to find it someplace else. We're trying to move this forward. That's been our agenda all along. Councilman Senn: They have an approved grading plan by Hempel. Kate Aanenson: No. You're approving the grading plan tonight. That was the revisions. Again you're missing some. Dave sent it back but Todd still was negotiating trying to resolve some of these issues. There's another issue too about the two permits, if you look in the staff report, the model homes. There was a recommendation for one so if you go with two, that would be a change from what was in there. Because we normally only recommend one permit and they wanted the two. Councilwoman Dockendorf: I go back to what Mark said. Is there somehow that we can move ahead with the preliminary or whatever we've got here, final and still keep the issue of the outlot undecided or open? I meim is there any way we can do that? . Mayor Chmiel: Somehow we're still going to make commitments. Roger Knutson: I don't see why not. Councilman Mason: You don't see why we can't separate the two? Councilman Senn: No. He can't remove any fill from this thing in the meantime. I mean that's what we're saying. We're going to leave that alone until it's resolved. Roger Knutson: Unless that's the first thing he has to do. Councilman Senn: Well but he just told me he doesn't need to do that. He said a year from now he said so that's what I'm saying. Let him get going on the model homes or whatever so they can at least somewhat come closer to a time line for spring. I don't think we're trying to cause financial harm and turn around and make it even tougher to negotiate. It seems to me reasonableness here can carry it forward but leave the park issue to be resolved. Roger Knutson: There's also a fourth option of not acquiring it if you don't like the price. Councilman Senn: That's right but, all those options still exist under what I'm suggesting. It just means we have to look closely at the options relating solely to the park and either work them out or go after them or forget it. Councilman Mason: I think that makes a certain amount of sense. . 35 . . . City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 Mayor Chmiel: Sure it does. Councilman Senn: Well, I'll move that then. Mayor Chmiel: Put it into words again. Councilman Senn: Okay. I would move that we, I would move approval of the final plat and the development contract on the basis that the park, or the outlot. How should we refer to it? The outlot property. Okay, so the outlot property is left alone and left an unresolved issue to be worked out in the next 4 weeks let's say with the staff and back to Council within that time frame, and in the meantime though it would ultimately go ahead with their plans accepting or leaving the outlot alone. Roger Knutson: Otherwise the conditions set forth in the planning report are the conditions you're adopting, is that correct? Councilman Senn: Yes, correct. I don't have a problem, I mean inherent in that I don't have a problem with the two model homes myself. I mean to me that's a non-issue. That's fine. Mayor Chmiel: Yeah. As long as they have the tar in and they're set for that so it can accommodate an emergency vehicle. Okay. Councilman Mason: Second. Mayor Chmiel: Any other discussion? Councilman Berquist: I've got a question for Kate. Kate, is there a trust issue involved here with what's gone down? What's happened amongst the participants. Kate Aanenson: I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. Have they negotiated in good faith? Has the city negotiated in good faith? Is that what you're asking? Councilman Berquist: Yeah, I think that's what I'm asking. Kate Aanenson: I certainly think we are trying. Again as you remember, when this plat came in their first response was, they had unforeseen costs and that's been the issue all the way through for them and we've been trying to work with them to resolve that and we're protecting we believe the city's best interest. That's the position we've taken just like they're trying to do what they need to do to make this project happen and that's looking at their financial considerations. Councilman Berquist: But from our point of view, if in fact it's a bad deal financially the city can't be expected to provide 15,000 yards of fill and have it be brought to our attention as part of the original agreement, which is almost what I'm sensing is taking place. Councilman Senn: Part of Steve what I'm sensing too though is, and correct me if I'm wrong, it sounds to me like there really hasn't been a point in time where you and Hempel and them and everybody were together in one room talking about the same thing. 36 City Council Meeting - October 9, 1995 . Kate Aanenson: That's not true. Mayor Chmiel: No that, and from my understanding they have. Todd Hoffman: We have had meetings but the issue of the 15,000 cubic yards. Councilman Senn: I'm coming down to the fill issue. Todd Hoffman: The fill issue was a new issue to me, which was brought up as I walked into a meeting which I was not participating at and then it was brought up in subsequent conversation and so I classified it as an assumption made by JMS that they would help themselves to 15,000 cubic yards of fill and I said well wait a minute, How's that going to affect the park and that's where it became an issue. Councilman Mason: I'll admit ",.hen I heard the sentence, we need to grade the area because we need the fill, my antenna went up as to there was some kind of problem but hopefully that's something that's going to be worked out. I think the motion Mark made and I seconded is a good compromise at this point. Mayor Chmiel: Okay. Any other? If not, I'll call the question. Councilman Senn moved, Councilman Mason seconded to aplJrove the final plat for 18 single famil~' lots and the final reading of an onIimmce rezoning the pro pe rt)' from A2 to RSF for Forest Meadow, JMS Development; and to approve the Development Contract and Construction Plans & Specifications, Project 95-18 as set forth in . the staff report amended to delete the items relating to the outlot which are ~'et to be resolved between staff and the applicant All voted in favor and the motion canied unanimously. CONSENT AGENDA: D. APPROVAL OF BILLS. Mayor Chmiel: We didn't move that one so if you want to. Councilman Senn: Do you ,vant me to move, what is it then, 2(g) with the one exception. So Charles can get back and answer the question. Councilman Mason: Second. Councilman Senn: Michael seconded it. Mayor Chmiel: Did you second it? Councilman Mason: Yes I did. Mayor Chmiel: Okay. Councilman Senn moved, Councilman Mason seconded to adopt the approval of bills with the one item deleted b~' Councilm,m Senn to be answered by the CiQ' Engineer.

FAX (612) 937-5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Park & Recreation Commission , Todd Hoffman, Park & Recreation Director-;:f7( FROM: DATE: October 18, 1995 SUBJ: Annual Review of Lake Ann Park Parking Permits, Section 14-59 ofChanhassen City Code On Monday, September 25, 1995, the city council received the attached report regarding the aforementioned issue. The council had previously reached an impasse on this issue on September 11,1995. Upon completing their discussion: "Councilman Berquist moved, Councilman Mason seconded to direct the Park & Recreation Commission to review the Lake Ann Park parking permit fees within a 60 day time period looking for an equitable resident/non-resident method of raising revenues from Lake Ann and/or therest of the parks within the community. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously." ST AFF COMMENTS Equity strikes me as the key concept in Councilman Berquist's motion. On average, approximately $10,000 in. net revenues have been earned through the gate program for the past five years. Applying 1995 revenue figures, the city could have closed down the gate house, collected parking fees from softball players ($4,725), and company picnickers (approximately $6,000) and surpassed the five year average in revenues. Fiscally, this approach would make a great deal of sense, but charging two select groups over all others is far from equitable. To accomplish equity, I believe the city has one choice, charge all groups (at various levels based on policy). Another choice is to treat all groups equal and charge no fee. Park & Recreation Commission October 18, 1995 Page 2 The parking policy at Lake Ann Community Park is fairly unique among local government facilities. Many cities charge admissions at beaches or pools. A few others, such as Excelsior, maintain parking meters on their waterfront parks. The presence of a gate house and parking attendants, however, are normally associated with county, state or federal facilities. RECOMMENDATION If the commission concurs with my analysis, I believe you have one choice-continue to charge parking fees at the gate based upon a policy of what user groups are charged, what user groups are not charged, and who is charged at what rate. This assumes that you concur with a majority of the council and City Manager Ashworth that this user fee must be retained. Therefore, it is recommended that the Lake Ann Park parking fee ordinance be retained and that the 1996 parking fees be established at the following rates: Daily Parking Pass $ 2 Seasonal Parking Pass - Resident $ 5 Seasonal Parking Pass - Non-Resident $15 All vehicles with the exception of those transporting participants and/or spectators of sanctioned/organized youth events, 17 years of age or under, shall be charged a parking fee. , . . . , " . City Council Meeting - September 25, 1995 T odd Gerhardt: The detailed information of specific dollar amounts are under the control of the architect and the construction manager. . It's one of the frustrations with the project as being a second party to the contractor. They don't share all the detailed information, We ask and continue to ask. Mayor Chmiel: Okay, let's move to unfinished business. ANNUAL REVIEW OF LAKE ANN PARK PARKING PERMITS. SECTION 14-59 OF CITY CODE. Mayor Chmiel: I think there was discussion at the last specific meeting and you weren't at the last meeting and I'm sure you've had. Councilman Berquist: Believe me I was thinking of you. Mayor Chmiel: I bet you were. Driving back. But with the review that you've had with it. Rather than go through the whole combined discussion, do you have any specific questions? . Councilman Berquist: Well I have some specific comments. I wish Todd were here. What I'd like to do, rather than simply approve what we have done in the past, which is I think what would happen if I had to make a motion right now, it would be a 3 to 2 vote. I would really like to challenge the Park and Rec Commission to come up with some other method by which to collect fees that's more equitable and more easily managed. There's got to be a way besides just saying well we're going to do this or we're not going to do this. That seems kind of bogus to me. We need to have user fees for areas or for services that are provided within the city and I believe that Lake Ann is a premiere park and that there should be user fees attached to it. If in fact the majority of the user fees can be garnered from non-residents, baseball teams, softball teams, that sort of thing, and we can conceivable do away with resident fees, great. On the other hand, if the revenue stream cannot be maintained by doing that, then I'm in favor of leaving it in a similar fashion but I believe that there's another method by which to charge the, to make the revenue stream come out. And I just don't think the Park and Rec Commission has given it any thought. They haven't been charged with giving it any thought and I would charge them with trying. Councilman Mason: Make a motion. Mayor Chmiel: Why don't you do that. Councilman Berquist: I will move to ask the Park and Rec Commission to give it some thought and come back to us within a 60 day time period with a equitable resident/non-resident method of raising revenues from Lake Ann and/or the rest of the parks within the community. Councilman Mason: It's a good motion. I'll second it. Mayor Chmiel: There's a motion on the floor with a second. Any discussion? And I think I agree with that part of it because of the fact, as I mentioned the last time. The amount of dollars that are available, or will be available in the years to come will be pulled away from it as we continually go through. Each community that I see, just alone in having swimming pools and swimming beaches, are being charged. Just to go in and go swimming. Maintenance for the upkeep of that beach as well as lifeguards and everything else as well. So 1 guess that's one of my reasons for more or less sticking to looking at a way of deriving those funds. Once those funds arc gone, they're gone. No way you're going to pick it up and I think it's a good motion that you made. . 28 1 ., City Council Meeting - September 25. 1995 . Councilwoman Dockendorf: Could I make one comment? Just to give some direction to the Park and Rec Commission. My issue with the fees at all is the annoyance of pulling up to the gate and not realizing that there is a fee. So if we can do away with the expense of the gate attendant. Do away with that unexpectedness of the fee. somehow maybe get those revenues with user fees. Maybe just through the teams utilizing the fields. I think we're spending too much money on the gate attendant and creating an annoyance at the same time that it's not work it. So I guess the charge is to find out a different method of collecting those fees, Councilman Berquist: To that issue. the gate attendant provides some small modicum of security and the security issue is going to do nothing but escalate and the costs associated with that are going to do nothing but escalate so you've got to maintain some presence, Councilwoman Dockendorf: Right, you've got a 16 year old kid out there at the gate who is so far removed from what's going on further in the park, a modicum of security is exactly what it is, Mayor Chmiel: Well. I've even seen that happen Colleen where people will come up to the gate attendant and told them a given problem. All he does is use the phone and dial 911 and we have our officer there to take care of the situation. Councilman Mason: Well I think a couple of issues have been raised. I mean we do, and we talked about it two weeks ago. I think we need to look at the security angle and I think Steve raises some vel)' good points as well. Mayor Chmiel: Okay. There's a motion on the noor with a second. . Councilman Be"luist moved, Councilman Mason seconded to direct the Parle and Recreation Commission to review the Lake Ann Parle parldng permit fees within a 60 dn)' time period looldng for an equitable resident/non-resident method of mising revenues from Lllke Ann and/or the rest of the parles within the co mmunit)'.

ANNUAL REVIEW OF LAKE ANN PARK PARKING PERMITS. SECfION 14-59 OF CITY CODE. Todd Hoffman: Thank you Mr. Mayor; members ~f the City Council. By resolution each year the City Council is, by city ordinance, asked to establish Lake Ann Park parking fees. It's an annual debate therefore which has been picking up some steam over the past fe\v years, specifically members of the Park and Rec Commission have heard from their constituency and as from residents of the city that if anything should be free, getting into Lake Ann Park which is the city's premiere and most widely public park, should be free. In addition, the fees are somewhat arbitral)'. Over the years since that ordinance was established, numerous user groups have lobbied the city successfully to receive free entl)' into Lake Ann Park. Such groups as youth athletic association groups, both those participating from in town and out of town. Simply inform the gate attendant that they are there to participate or watch a youth oriented event and they're allowed in free. The same goes for those who participate in swimming lessons sponsored by Minnetonka Schools, which are contracted by the city through Minnetonka Schools. Other instances of free entl)'. I believe that covers those. But on an annual basis we have a report prepared for the city. The Park and Recreation Commission and City Council which talks about gross receipts and why the fee was established in the first place and I've heard a variety of stories on that. And then there's the issue of the park was established in part with Federal monies and we have a public access on Lake Ann and therefore charging unequal fees based upon resident and non-resident may not be possible at Lake Ann Park either, due to Federal regulations governing that money being put into Lake Ann Park for it's establishment and it's furnishings. A variety of issues but what it comes down to is that the Park Commission again, for a second year has recommended that the City Council eliminate all Lake Ann parking fees. Allow the park to be free of charge to any park user, resident or non-resident. But in addition to that, that a park ranger position be included in the 1996 budget to assist guests, enforce park rules and provide general visibility and security. That motion passed unanimously by the Park and Recreation Commission. The reasoning behind the park ranger is that they've often thought that the gate attendant provides some sort of security or a gate guard against activity which is unwanted in Lake Ann Park. But they're beginning to realize that that is not the case. And both the commission and residents are beginning to see increased levels of unwanted activities taking place at Lake Ann Park, both in the parking lot areas and beach areas. The picnic grounds is really where the action is taking place, nota quarter of a mile away at the gate house where that person cannot provide much control for the park. So with that you have my comments, which go over gross receipts. Interesting enough, you have $16,000.00 in gross receipts really to date and if you look at that, the softball players or the softball teams are . . 36 ,I '~ 't :~ '.1 . . City Council Meeting - September 11, 1995 ,,~:j ~ each nicked another $5.00 per player for an annual parking permit. That generates about $4,700.00 in revenues of that $16,000.00. In addition, many company picnics are sponsored at Lake Ann Park and again they're nicked for either more often a $2.00 daily permit for each of their guests. But they either pay that in a couple of ways. They present a business card or a pass at the gate. Those are collected by the gate attendant and then our staff bills the company for the individual receipts. Or they ask their guest to pay that as they come in through the park, and that collects again in 1995 approximately $6,000.00 of that $16,000.00. So we have a total of close to $11,000.00 of this $16,000.00 which is just really being collected through other means or other avenues than actual just cars coming in to park to go to the swimming beach or use other areas. At least one of the original reasonings behind the fee program, which I find most plausible is that, at the time that the lifeguards were furnished at Lake Ann, they figured you know we need to pay those costs. That lifeguard contract was up to about $18,000.00 a year through Minnetonka Community Services and here we have net revenues of approximately $6,000.00-$5,500.00 so we're not recouping. We're about a third of the way there to recoup those costs so if that was the reason the job isn't getting done, but nevertheless you will have net revenues of about $6,000.00 at Lake Ann Park this year through this program. Interestingly, net revenues per day are about $5,800.00 and if you break that out per hour that the gate guard sits at that gate shack, you earn about $6.00 per hour. You have a manager's comment as well, which I also heard from City Council members in this regard that during the audit process, with the reduction in federal and state aids, city's are encouraged to keep their user fees up. User fee levels up, both in dollar revenues and in the amount of user fees. User fee programs, so this recommendation comes perhaps in an untimely moment. Nevertheless, 1 bring you the recommendation of the Park Commission to abandon Lake Ann parking permits. . Mayor Chmiel: Thank you. Any discussion? Councilwoman Dockendorf: Sure. Councilman Senn: Sure. Mayor Chmiel: You bet. Councilwoman Dockendorf: I hate this annual discussion, but nevertheless I'm standing with what I've said in prior years. This is more hassle than it's worth, You know. What I hear from people, or not so much that, well first of all they're annoyed with, and I think it's unfair but it's the, they don't anticipate it. I mean they drive up and they don't expect to pay a fee and that's what really annoys them. They don't have the extra cash or whatever but anyway I guess in a nutshell it's just not worth the hassle, I'm not certain that a roving park ranger expense will make it through the budget process but for $5,500.00, let's find it somewhere else. And now for an opposing point of view. Councilman Mason: You've got it. I personally, well no. I don't think we should change it. I understand all the reasons for letting people in free, and I think that's all fine and well. We're talking, you know I look at the manager's comment and I happen to agree with it. I remember when I first started cross country skiing at county parks which was back in the mid 70's, and I think a park sticker was a buck and you didn't have to have a license to ski. Well, I certainly hit the roof when I had to get a cross country ski license but by god, I buy one every year, you know to use the trails. The trails are maintained and it may be only recouping a small part of what it costs to run that park but I think that's a revenue stream, albeit small. I have not had one person, and that includes my wife when she took the kids to swimming. I didn't even know we could get in free if we had kids taking swimming lessons. We paid the permit anyway. No one's ever said one thing good or bad to me about it. I'm in favor of maintaining the fees. . 37 City Council Meeting - September 11, 1995 Mayor Chmiel: Okay, Mark. Councilman Senn: I haven't changed my idea either, or I guess my mind from last year and that is I think we ought to ash can the parking fees. I think what we really need to do, in my mind, is modify or redefine the situation and let's quit, you know let's quit calling them parking fees. I don't think we should be charging residents a parking fee to enter a city park. No more than we charge them a parking fee to enter anyone of the other city parks. I think there's a good case to be made in the case of Lake Ann to recognize that that park services some broader purposes other than most of the other parks in Chanhassen. But to me the way to accommodate that is to do something a little differently than we are. Well, it's not really different. I think again it's just really more a definitional or redefining the process. I think we should keep the gate attendant. I think we should keep $16,000.00 or more in revenue a year and I think we can do that. And I think we simply redefine the $4,725.00 that we collect from the softball teams as a user fee. I suggest we continue to charge the user fees to the sponsors and guest company picnics. Okay. At the same time, I think we should institute a user fee to non-residents of Chanhassen and I think that's going to make up the difference and I think what we're going to be doing is sitting here a year from now and saying okay, we've got another $16,000.00 in revenue. $6,000.00 in staff cost and we haven't lost a blasted thing, except what we've lost is charging our residents for parking in their city park. And it seems to me that that's the idyllic, idyllic? I don't know if that's the right word or not but idyllic solution? To the dilemma. You know at the same time I think there's been' a number of complaints lately about behavior activities at the park. I don't know, that's something I think we're going to have to deal with as a separate issue when it comes in in relationship to the budget. I don't think we should probably get that mixed in here at -this time so I guess I'm saying I agr~e with the manager. I agree with the auditor. I guess I'm agreeing with everybody but it seems to me that's the solution. Let's look at it-that way' . rather than simply do we have a parking fee or don't we have a parking fee. Mayor Chmiel: Okay. I guess I'm in the same position as I was the last time, not relinquishing the fees but staying with what we have only because Lake Ann Park is a park that is, far exceeds a lot of parks around this particular metro area. I think it's something we'd be proud of and continue that kind of maintenance and upkeep. And the cost, because of all the cutbacks that are coming, I don't think it would even be a thing to do this year at all. So my suggestion, recommendation is to keep it as we have and to continue with it rather than, and to review it to see if there's ways that it would also benefit the city in years to come but no longer taking it and reviewing the parking permit aspects. Councilwoman Dockendorf: I have a question. Todd, have we ever looked at the breakout between resident and non-resident? Todd Hoffman: Some of those are in your packet. 1994 it's non-resident revenues of $3,700.00 out of a total of $19,000.00 that year. Daily passes are far and away just over $10,000.00 that year, out of $19,000.00 so approximately half. Councilwoman Dockendorf: Where are you reading these numbers from? Todd Hoffman: It's further back in the report. Each 1994 gross revenues figure for Lake Ann. $24,000.00. It's labeled 4C on the lower right hand comer. It lists 1994, $24,000.00 and in the back side as revenues collected, it lists daily passes, seasonal and resident seasonal, non-resident. It should go back each year in a similar fashion. 1993, $20,000.00 gross revenues. 1992, $18,000.00. And $18,000.00 in '91. Some of the biggest years are the drought years. We had $3,000.00 on single weekends in the month of May and June. 38 \:1 'OJ \. j IJ ~ . . t'ii;t .;;;ll . City Council Meeting - September 11, 1995 Councilwoman Dockendorf: But we don't break it out for the daily pass, whether that's resident or non-resident? Do you have a feel for that? Todd Hoffman: No I don't. Mayor Chmiel: Okay. Any other questions? If not I'll call the question. All those in favor. Councilman Senn: No. We don't' even have a motion on the table yet. Do we? Councilwoman Dockendorf: No. Mayor Chmiel: Oh I thought, I'm sorry. I thought you made a motion. Councilman Mason: No, but I'd be happy to. I'll make the motion that we retain the Lake Ann entrance fees and I'd suggest that we continue to search new ways to obtain revenue from Lake Ann Park. Mayor Chmiel: Is there a second? If not, I'll second it. Councilman Mason moved, Ma)"or Chmiel seconded to retain the Lal{e Ann Park entrance. fees for 1996. Councilman Mason and Ma)'or Chmiel voted in favor. Councilman Senn and Councilwoman Dockendorf voted in opposition. The motion was tied with a 2 to 2 vote. . Mayor Chmiel: That mean it's going to go back to Council.at the next meeting on the 25th. RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING CERTAIN FEE POLICIES. CHANHASSEN RECREATION CENTER. Todd Hoffman: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council. The Chanhassen Recreation Center officially opened, along with Bluff Creek Elementary School on Tuesday, September 5th of this month. The center is experiencing a trial opening if you will. An open house effective through the 24th of this month. We took ownership of the building 2 months late...contracts so all furnishings are not available. All the equipment isn't there and so we couldn't offer the complete product at the posted price until we had the building fully outfitted. But in the meantime we're still working through policies of operation and one which has certainly received a lot of attention on the administrative level is who's going to be charged what to use the particular components of the building. The City Council has authorized policies relating to the rental of the meeting spaces within the community center, or the recreation center. However, in regard to user fees for what is called the punch card system, exercise with options program, there are still some outstanding questions which we would like the City Council to answer for us. Specifically, how would you like to charge resident, excuse me. How would you like to charge employees of the city of Chanhassen. Those people who work within the city of Chanhassen and how would you like to handle employees of the City of Chanhassen itself, Obviously one of the main inquiries comes from school teachers who happen to be teaching at that particular building. They think it's very convenient but we also have how many employees within this city that work here, 10,000-12,000 jobs. However many jobs we have within the community. Those folks are wondering what basis they're going to be charged for using the building so we have a very functional center, from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. on nearly 7 days per week so we can cater to those alternate shift people, When they get off work in the morning from any one of our industrial buildings. They can come over and participate in recreation. But are they going to be charged, if they live outside the community, at a non-resident rate or are they going to be charged as a resident of Chanhassen, since they do work here? And then the other question is, how would you like to handle the . 39 ~ 14-58 CHANHASSEN CITY CODE (e) A permittee shall be bound by all park rules and regulations and all applicable ordinances fully as though the same :were inserted in the permit. .

"A motion was made by Commissioner Manders and seconded by Commissioner Meger that the Park & Recreation Commission recommends that . . the City Council eliminate the entrance fee to Lake Ann Park and the gate attendant program. It is also recommended that a Park Ranger position be included in the 1996 budget to assist guests, enforce park rules, and to provide general visibility and security. Motion unanimously approved." Director's Comments: The Lake Ann Park parking permit program has been teetering on a fine wire the past few years. The question at hand-is it worth the bother to collect $2 per car from selected individuals as they enter Lake Ann Park? In my attached memorandum dated January 4, 1995, I discussed the impacts of eliminating the "gate" program. At the time my comments were based upon 1994 financial figures. An assessment of the 1995 figures reveals the following: Revenue 1995 Gross Gate Receipts* (*Note: This includes $4,725 collected from softball team sponsors at a rate of $5 per player to pay for an annual pass; and $6,000 collected from the sponsors and guests of company picnics to pay for their parking permits.) $16,012.55 . Expenses Seasonal staff (gate attendants*) $ 6,000.00 (*Includes the cost of limited staffing at the South Lotus Lake Gate House.) Full time staff (Administration, Park & Recreation & Finance) $ 3,200.00 Printing of Passes $ 1.275.00 Net Revenue $ 5,537.55 Approximate net revenue per day of operation Approximate net revenue per hour of operation $ $ 58.29 6.00 The minutes of the August 22, 1995 Park & Recreation Commission meeting are not available for your review. However, members of the commission will be present at Monday's meeting to discuss the issue. TH (9-7-9~ . '. Lake Ann Entrance Fees Page 3 Manager's Comments: I have always been a supporter of public parks being free. I am sure someone could find various memorandums written by myself advocating that position over the years. However, I would be derelict in my duties if I did not remind the city council of the advice from our city auditors, i.e. "User fees are the only means by which cities will be able to survive with continuing reductions in federal/state aids." Additionally, I am anticipating that this budget year is going to be more difficult than previous. Specifically, many of the special revenue funds used to pay a portion of our operating costs will have fewer dollars available. Accordingly, many of these costs/programs will either be cut or shifted to the general fund. Approval of keeping the existing parking permit program in place is recommended. DWA (9-7-95) . .

FAX (612) 937-5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager -1'/1 Todd Hoffman, Park and Recreation Director "/i'! FROM: DATE: January 4, 1995 SUBJ: Review Lake Ann Park Parking Fees . Section 14-59. Parking Permits of Chapter 14,~ar~s and Recreation, of the Chanhassen City Code requires that Lake Ann Park parking fees)e t'€~.tablished by resolution each year. This annual review process has resulted insome spirited discussions at the Park and Recreation Commission debating the pros and cons of the fee pr()gram, In the interest of brevity, the major points of discussion on an annual basis in each category are: PRO CON Revenue source Anoth'er user fee Creates jobs "We have already paid taxes for these services." , "Gate keeper" security. "Our parks are free, why do we have to pay to getintoyours." In addition, by policy, the parking fees are not uniformly charged acrossihe board, i.e. participants/spectators of youth sporting activities ,are allowed to enter the park free of charge, whereas participants in adult sporting activiti~s are charged. . An annual report of gate activity and parking permit revenues is prepared each fall. This report was presented to the Park and Recreation Commission this past November. At their December 15 meeting, the commission took up the issue of establishing a recommendation for the 1995 fee schedule (see attached report from Jerry Ruegemer dated December 7, 1994). For your information, I have also attached the 1993, 1992 and 1991 reports. Upon conclusion , . Don Ashworth January 4, 1995 Page 2 . of their discussion on the 15th, Chairperson Andrew moved and Commissioner Manders seconded to strike the entrance fees in their entirety and retain the gate attendant program modifying it into a park patrol. The motion passed unanimously. At first glance, this action may seem severe, however, the debate over being "hit up" to enter Lake Ann Park has been raging from some time. The commission does not take their recommendation lightly and recognizes the loss in revenue this change in policy would bring. Likewise, they recognize that the retention of a gate attendant/park patrol program will consume similar resources while cutting all revenues. However, they believe the presence of a "gate keeper" at Lake Ann Park greatly reduces the likelihood of vandalism at the park. The commission's bottom line is they believe the public deserves the opportunity to utilize the services offered at Lake Ann Community Park without being charged an entrance fee. Entrance fees are common in county, state and national park systems but are used less frequently on the local level. The financial impacts of endorsing the commission's recommendations are: 1. The loss of approximately $20,000 to $25,000 in revenue. 2. A savings of approximately $1,500 in printing costs (entrance passes). - 3. The retention of approximately $-7,200 in personnel costs. . In other words, under current policy, the program operates approximately $16,000 to the good, whereas, under the new recommendation the gate program would operate $7,000 to $10,000 in the red. The benefit would come in an unmeasurable amount of good public relations. For your information, a copy of the Lake Ann Park Operations Budget totaling $63,250 for 1995 is attached. This function includes the gate attendant program, concession and equipment rental employees, shelter cleaning and the provision of lifeguards and swimming lessons. General maintenance of the park is not included in this function. Revenues from food and beverage concessions, equipment rental, swimming lessons, and the entrance fees offset a percentage of the expenditures required to provide these services. All revenue, however, is deposited in the city's general fund. RECOMMENDATION The Park and Recreation Commission recommends the City Council strike the entrance fees in their entirety and retain the gate attendant program modifying it into a park patrol. Manager's Comments (1-4-95): The adopted 1995 budget includes gate receipts. Should the council wish to change, something would have to be cut This item should really have been included in the 1995 budget request process and considered with other budget items. DWA . ..

Through the years, the annual gate attendant report has enabled our department to use the data collected to show revenues, total hours, wages and South Lotus Lake access activity. With the new additions to Lake Ann Park (picnic Pavilion/Recreation Shelter), activity has increased during the 1993 summer season. Picnic activity has risen, which is reflected in the parking fees. If we see a warm summer again revenues will increase over the last two years. In continuing Eurasian Water Milfoil education, a new program was installed at the South Lotus Lake boat access. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources sponsored an Exotic Species Monitoring Program. The program was established to educate the public of species relative to our area, such as Eurasian Water Milfoil and Zebra Mussel. The gate attendants at the boat access were responsible for inspecting all portions of the watercraft going in and out the access. The information collected during the inspection was recorded and mailed to the DNR for compiling. The prOgram has proved to be a plus for Chanhassen, and I will work to organize it again next summer. Illustrated on the attached sheet is the watercraft totals, gate attendant hours/wages, and revenues collected from Lake Ann parking passes. . /973 /1/9, 9) 7tzG(lt)J(/~ (p~()15 September 22, 1993 Page 2 1993 Water Craft Totals: .

It is hard to believe our summer has breezed by. us. The annual gate attendant report has helped our department track information from the sale of Lake Ann parking stickers, revenue from sticker sales, gate attendant total hours and wages, and South Lotus Lake Access activity. The summer of 1992 was full of surprises. The cool and rainy weather pattern limited the operating hours of the Lake Ann and South Lotus Lake gate houses. Although the gate houses were not open as often as 1991, the revenue collected was slightly greater. The increase can partially be credited to the addition of 3 new softball teams and additional picnics which generated revenue toward the grand total. Whenever there was a nice weekend, both gate houses were very active. The South Lotus Lak~ BoatAccess experienced an increase in watercraft usage over the previous year. Even though thissuIluner was cool and rainy, the boataccess saw plenty of activity. The number of boats llsiIig the access was recorded on a. shift report while the gate attendants were on duty. The shift report allows the attendant on duty to markdown what type of watercraft is using the access,' the time they are entering, number of occupants, and vehicle license number in case there is a problem. With the increase of watercraft on South Lotus, looking into revising the boating rules and regulations would benefit and would mitigate any future problems. Eurasian Water Milfoil is still a very important problem in our area lakes. During the summer of 1992, Lake Restoration, Inc. treated milfoil twice in South Lotus Lake. The milfoil . information will continue to be distributed to educate the public who are using the boat access.

The annual gate attendant report is used to gather information about South Lotus Lake boat access, gate attendants total hours and wages: and information about annual sales in terms of the number of daily and seasonal passes-sold, and . the total revenue from these sales. The summer of 1991 saw an 11.2% increase in watercraft population from the year before. with the increased activity it is very important to continue to look for new ways to educate the gate attendants and the public about Eurasian water Milfoil. During the gate attendant meeting in May, specific milfoil information was distributed to the gate attendants to become familiar with what the mil foil plant looks like and what to do if milfoil is discovered. A new addition to the gate attendant meeting was having the president of the Lotus Lake Homeowners Association, Steve Decatur, --speak to the gate attendants about specific information regarding Lotus Lake and the milfoil problem associated with the lake. steve's information was very helpful in terms of relating the gate attendants responsibilities and duties into the overall goal of Chanhassen which is to educate and inform the public about Eurasian Water Milfoil. Next year the gate attendants will continue to pass out literature about milfoil and the Lotus Lake boat rules and regulations. Addit~onal information will be sought to increase the knowledge and understanding of the gate attendants regarding Eurasian Water Milfoil. Part of the duties and responsibilities of the gate attendants is to track people using the South Lotus boat access and to record types of watercraft.

I know there's a lot of, everybody has been weighing the pros and cons since our November 15th meeting so this should be a topic of discussion that we can breeze through tonight. We've had a lot of discussions last year just about security of the building if we do disband that program and... Those type of issues we can discuss tonight if you choose to do so. The gate attendant program report was included from the last meeting just for your information to review if you have any questions on that. And then also if, after the discussions on the Lake Ann and South Lotus Lake gate programs. . 26 .. Park and Rec Commission Meeting - December 13, 1994 If the Park and Rec Commission so chooses to adopt a 1995 Lake Ann entrance fee, it is staff's recommendation to keep the following prices. The daily park pass of $2.00. Seasonal pass for residents at $5.00 and seasonal pass for non-residents at $10.00. Andrews: Well I've come full circle on this I think finally after years. I was one that wanted to charge these fees and I would like to see the city provide every Chanhassen residence with a season pass for Lake Ann. I don't think, I no longer think we should be charging our own citizens fees for the park. That's an opinion but it's too good of a park to be denying anybody that's a Chanhassen resident a chance to go to. Meger: I would agree. I guess I would feel a lot more comfortable waiving the fees if we knew that we had a referendum that passed that was going to give us some additional... Manders: I guess I agree with that and to carry the question or the comment one step further. That gray line of enforcing who's not a resident. I mean if you come in with somebody that you know or you're, it's that whole maze of, and I know it's the same thing as it is today. . Trying to define who's a resident and who isn't. . . Andrews: I guess my concept is that in one of the regular mailings that would go out to all households in the city, that they would get a pass. A sticker for a car and then it would be a simple process. When you come to the gate, if you don't have a sticker, you either can buy a daily or a season. Lash: Well why bother having one? Andrews: For non-residents. Lash: I think that, I don't know. Do we ever have a breakdown of the money that comes in resident. Huffman: Right here. Revenues collected at Lake Ann. Lash: I mean it's not even worth it to have somebody stand around...for the number of non- residents that... Manders: That's kind of what I was getting at. Lash: I mean we pay more passes than we would collect. . Hoffman: $372.00. 27 Park and Rec Commission Meeting - December 13, 1994 . Huffman: The only place it does make sense to me is at the Lotus Lake where you have a problem with boats. People actually needing some direction and guidance. I know where the ballfields are. If I'm going to the beach, I walk past people who can help me. I'm going to defer to smarter heads here but somebody sitting at that gate, I know how to drive to the parking area. If I need help I get help from people who are in areas, I need help. Lash: I think the past the discussion has been not so much money that we make or, it had more to do with, Larry was a strong supporter and I know he's gone but it has to do with that there's someone there that people feel is making them a little more accountable for their actions and their behavior within the park. That there are rules and that there's someone there who can, whether they help enforce the rules or not. It's just the mindset that there's someone at the gate. That the money thing is, what do we end up clearing on the whole deal? $11,000.00 is fairly insignificant in the overall city budget. I feel for Lotus Lake, I think because that's so close to neighborhoods and with boats going in and out all day and milfoil and all that, I guess the weekend, I think we adjusted the hours this year didn't we? Just evenings and then all day on the weekends. That seemed to make sense to me. I guess I'm: going to be open for once on the attendant at Lake Ann. If we want to just can the whole idea for a year and try to see what happens, let's just do that and see what happens. If we don't want to, if we feel that the gate attendant sends a message to people who are coming in, . then we have to, we either need to just pay someone to be a gate attendant and forget the fee, or hire someone as more of a park service type person. Hoffman: Park police. Lash: Yeah, park ranger. Someone who kind of distributes rules and tries to enforce rules. That kind of a thing maybe we can do. Manders: I guess one comment I'd like to make is kind of pulling a reverse here but. Andrews: Somebody's got to do it. Manders: I'll volunteer to do that. Just recently I just read in the paper about Minneapolis' plight and what their plan is to charge attendance at six of their parks. Now I don't know what that means here necessarily but it's just an observation. Lash: One of the down things that I picked up over the last year or so since the shelter's been open is the irritation by people coming in who are paying to reserve the shelter and then getting milked for another $2.00 to get in and that's an irritation and I was thinking if that's the biggest problem, one solution would be automatically if there's a reservation for the Smith family, you pull up to the gate. You don't have a pass. You say I'm with the Smith family. . 28 .. Park and Rec Commission Meeting - December 13, 1994 The guy at the gate has got the list of who's got the reservation. You get in without having to buy a permit. I don't know that that's the only problem we have. There's a public perception problem there and I think in a year also where we're going to be asking for a referendum, it's hard to say to people that you're going to be paying taxes for all these improvements and all these parks but you're also going to have to pay to get into it. Andrews: Personally I'd like to see the attendant stay and I would see us quit the fees. One advantage would be, that the attendants don't have to man the gates, is they can walk the park. At Lake Ann in particular that could be valuable. Give somebody a. Manders: Just be a more visible member. Andrews: A walkie talkie or a cell phone and say, your job is to watch over this piece of property. You know walk up to the ballfields. Walk over to the park pavilions. Make sure people are where they're supposed to be and. . Lash: And that can be the method to motivate gate attendants. Andrews: Yeah, it's better use of their time. Lash: ...much more motivation and if we have...brochure up of the different facilities at Lake Ann and if the person's carrying around a little bundle of those, he can come up and say, where are the... But then what we're faced with then is where are we going to be coming up with the $7,000.00 to the park attendants. Huffman: The golf course. Andrews: We'd have to make a budget amendment in order to come up with that to plan money because that wasn't part of our original budget proposal. Hoffman: No, you would not. It's under Lake Ann. Lake Ann Park. Lash: I still have a concern with Lotus. Andrews: I want an attendant there too. Lash: Right. I want an attendant at Lotus. There's no parking fee over there is there? . Hoffman: No there is not. 29 Park and Rec Commission Meeting - December 13, 1994 . Lash: I think we need to finance an attendant there. Andrews: We need control and I think the weekends, what we did there was fine. That solved the problem. To waste the money during the day. Hoffman: The employees are all budgeted in the Lake Ann operations and the revenue is not shown to offset that. So the money is available to hire the employees, at least at a gate attendant status. If we're, you know we're not going to have a full force park ranger but we're going to have a person there of a different caliber than a gate attendant and who would most likely work with our public safety department to go ahead and staff these locations more than. Andrews: Right. I don't think you can have a 16 year old. Hoffman: Right, or the roving park patrol. There would be a minor loss in revenues which is very easy to recoup as far as the city's revenue. Lash: Considering this is a yearly revenue and we've been slowly over the years progressing to this spot, maybe we need to just go -with it one year and face our fears. Andrews: Once you do it, it's permanent. . Hoffman: Once you do it, yeah. You're not going to flip flop this thing around. Huffman: An idea, help me walk through this. Scouts, Explorers. There are law enforcement posts. There are medical posts. There are other posts. Part of their activities, training, what they prepare to do, it's young boys and girls in career type settings and situations. Can we find out if there are any out in this area? Can we tie into those kind of, I mean they are trained in medical, you know minor medical emergencies. They are trained in helping people. I mean that is their orientation and I don't know, you know you don't want a quasi military running around. We have to identify that we have to find them. Roeser: Which group? Huffman: Explorers. Through scouting. But it's a boys and girls senior high school, post high school career oriented organization and they form in clusters of whatever the current broadcasting accounting whatever. Maybe we could identify, tie in and that's what they do in their summer and they come prepared in health and I don't know. We'd have to walk through that a lot deeper but that's a way of maybe finding some people who have a little more training than maybe what you would have...A thought. . 30 . . . Park and Rec Commission Meeting - December 13, 1994 Lash: My fear with public safety is that we're going to have to be paying through the nose to have a public safety officer... Andrews: $10.00-$12.00 an hour. Hoffman: Yeah, I don't know that we'd necessarily go with a full fledged community service officer. Ruegemer: A good area might be to look for students in training that are going to law enforcement school. This might be an opportunity for them to gain some of that valuable expenence. Andrews: Maybe they'll hire them for less than what we're paying the gate attendant. Huffman: Yeah, I don't want to put, like I say, a quasi military person out there either walking around in a little uniform and stuff. Well I'm saying, an 18 year old)n a uniform is going to give me all the confident of what? I'd feel more comfortable. Andrews: All he needs is a walkie talkie to the city here. That's all he's got to have. We need to make a motion on this. Hoffman: You bet. This will go right up to Council. Andrews: Well I'm going to do this because this is a complete reversal for me. I can't believe it but I move that we strike the Lake Ann fees entirely and that we do retain gate attendants, or park attendants I'll call them, at Lake Ann and Lotus Lake as, either following the same hours that we did last year. Lash: No. South Lotus we adjusted. Andrews: For the amended hours at South Lotus. Ruegemer: I can put those. Huffman: For out of city fees? Andrews: I just waived the whole thing. It isn't worth monkeying with it. It was $350.00 and it isn't worth. Lash: Actually that should say $3,000.00. 31 Park and Rec Commission Meeting - December 13, 1994 . Andrews: $3,OOO.00? Still. Lash: It's not worth trying to print up passes. If you want to have a daily fee or something but still I think, unless you're going to have someone sitting there all the time, there's no point in having it. Manders: I second that motion. Andrews: Okay. Any more discussion? Andrews moved, Mandel'S seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend to waive entrance fees at Lake Ann Park and to retain park attendants at both Lake Ann Park and South Lotus Lake Park. All voted in favor and the motion carlied unanimously. Lash: Did you ever think we'd live to see the day Todd? Hoffman: I haven't seen the day yet. ~ Andrews: You're looking at the guy who was the most motivated collect the fee: Nail them. Make them pay to use. . Huffman: No kidding. And you made this amendment? Andrews: Yes I did. Huffman: Wow! Roeser: How long ago was that? Andrews: The last 4 or 5 years. Hoffman: We're going to have to draw straws for that first meeting, first Council meeting in January. Lash: Do you think there will be that much? Hoffman: Sure. Huffman: Why? . 32 .. . .

All ,'oted in favor and the motion carned unanimousl)'. REVIEW OF LA KE ANN PARKING FEES. Todd Hoffman: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council. Thank you. Section 14-59, Parking Permits of your city code requires that Lake Ann Park fees be established by resolution each year. So following each summer season an annual report of gate attendant activities, gate receipt activity is prepared. That's presented to the Park and Recreation Commission in the fall and is then reviewed by the commission in order to make a determination or to at least initiate the discussion for the subsequent establishment of...fees. Those items took place at the November and December meetings by the Park and Recreation Commission during 1994. As you may be aware, the debate over the Lake Ann gate program is spirited and lively on an annual basis simply because the number of public comments which are received both by commissioners, Council members, staff members and 39 City Council Meeting - January 9, 1995 . then obviously the first source of attack, the gate attendants or the employees that work the gate. So we receive a number of comments throughout the year. Specifically, the negative comments which we hear are, this is just another user fee. We've already paid taxes' for these services so why are you charging us again. And when we have out of town visitors, our parks are free. Speaking specifically to most municipal parks, why do we have to pay to get into yours? On the other hand, it is a positive, it has a positive impact on the city because it is a revenue source. It grosses about $25,000.00 a year, netting approxim~tely $15,OOO.00:!: on an annual basis. It creates some employment for the city of Chanhassen, specifically our youth. However, now with Target and Byerly's and Festival, we're not quite as worried about that as we were 6 or 7 years ago. We can't find. employees any longer. And then it does provide, and the one which is most intangible but most discussed is that it does provide a gate keeper type security to the entrance of Lake Ann Park. So the Park Commission, to cut right to the chase, finally took the dive and would like to make a recommendation that the fees be struck in their entirety but then to attempt to retain this gate keeper effect, they would like to see some sort of park patrol maintained within the city of Chanhassen. That does not have to be exclusively for Lake Ann Park but could be for the park system in it's entirety. That motion passed unanimously. At first glance this may seem severe. This action. But again as my prelude pointed out, they've been debating it year in and year out since I've been here. Really what it comes down to is the financial impacts. If the City Council endorses would be that you'd lose approximately $20,000.00 to $25,000.00 in revenue from the revenue stream for '95. We'd save about Sl,500.00 in printing costs for the entrance passes and then by their recommendation, keeping a gate attendants or this park patrol if you will, you woulci still need to retain some expenditure of approximately S7,200.00. So in other words, we operate to the good now about $15,000.00 and they want to put you in the red about S7,000.00 to SI0,OOO.00. For your information I did attach an annual budget,.which is part 01 the general fund budget for Lake Ann Park which totals $63,000.00 so you can see the $15,000.00 in revenue offsets that by a percentage, but nearly enough to pay for the entire operation of Lake Ann Park. So again the recommendation from the Park Commission is to strike the entrance fees in their entirety and retain the gate attendant program modifying it to a park patrol. You will note the manager's comments, which I accept and which I knew this issue would come up. In that the adopted 1995 budget includes those gate receipts so that revenue is included in our budget. Should the Council wish to change something, we would have to cut an item so the item should have really been included in the 1995 budget request but the process just on an annual basis does not work that way so we either have to amend our budget or set ourselves up for the 1996 budget. . Mayor Chmiel: Okay, thank you. Colleen. Councilwoman Dockendorf: I don't even go to my husband's softball games anymore. I get such an earful on this isstje. I would agree with the Park and Recfs recommendation. However, I know that we are used as regional park. There are a lot of non-residents and did the commission discuss just a non-resident fee? Todd Hoffman: No, they did not. Councilwoman Dockendorf: Is there anyway it could be worked into softball fees or any other league fees? To somehow offset our costs for the gate keeper. Todd Hoffman: Sure. At present we charge the softball players $2.00 per person on top of their regularly charge to go into the parking fee so we already charge the adult softball. By policy we do not charge youth or youth participants or youth spectators so anybody coming into the park involved in a youth swimming lesson or a youth ballgame or spectator, drives in free anyway. . Councilwoman Dockendorf: So it would just be the spectators of the adult softball? , I . 40 '. City Council Meeting - January 9, 1995 Todd Hoffman: Correct. Councilwoman Dockendorf: That I hear from basically. Councilman Senn: Clarification. You said the softball players also have to have a parking permit though. So if they're a non-resident, there is a separation. Or there could be a separation, to answer her question. Todd Hoffman: Yeah, for another $2.00 they each receive, each roster player receives a sticker. there's a minority of our softball players who are non-residents. Only up to 4 players per team can be a non-resident so there's a minority there but yes, they are. Councilman Berquist: But they still get the sticker? Todd Hoffman: Correct. Excuse me, it is $5.00 because they pay for an annual permit. Councilwoman Dockendorf: I don't think we can do it for this year, for '95 but I would say let's, well. In the greater scheme of things this is probably the worth the lack of headache" not collecting them and not having them. The printing costs, etc. However I do like the idea of keeping someone at the front gate, just to direct traffic if nothing else and changing into a roving security element so I guess I'd support the recommendation but not for '95. . - . . Mayor Chmiel: Okay, Michael. Councilman Mason: Well, I've paid the Lake Ann Park fee every year I've lived here and I figure it's just, I mean it's a nice park. It comes with the territory. I think Colleen's comments about it being used as a regional park are well put. I know an awful lot of people from Eden Prairie that camp out there in the summer. Having said that, if Park and Rec doesn't want it, I certainly understand. I agree with the Manager's and Colleen's comments. I think if they don't want it for next year, I think they've got to find the money because, and I know that's kind of hardball and all that but I mean that is mine, yeah and we've got kind of tight budget the way it is so. I guess I'll defer to that judgment but I don't think it's that big a deal. Paying a $5.00 fee to use that park as many times as I've go to it in a year. Mayor Chmiel: Okay, thanks. Mark. Councilman Senn: Well I guess my position hasn't I guess really changed from last year. I would really like to see us get rid of the charge for residents. I'd like to see us get rid of it this year because last year when it came up, we said we'll look at it and maybe get rid of it next year and it seems like every year we just put it off another year. I however would like a different approach than what the Park Commission is recommending because I would like to see a charge for non-residents to maintain some of that revenue and some of that cost. guess I'm used to paying for that wherever else I go to use park systems. Directly or indirectly. A wonderful example of that is Excelsior. I mean you go up to the Commons Park, whether you know it or not you're paying for it because you're putting the quarters in the meter. Ever)' resident of Excelsior has a sticker on their car which means they can park at those meters without putting quarters in those meters. Okay. And you can cal1 that reverse stickering or whatever but it is reverse stickering, whatever but. . Councilman Mason: A phrase has been coined here folks. 41 City Council Meeting - January 9, 1995 . Councilman Senn: It does work and I buy my permits to Hennepin County parks every year and I buy my permits to several other parks and I even, I suppose some of them that don't charge me, I make donations to anyway. I mean I think from a standpoint of our residents, they pay their taxes. Something that ought to be included in that. I donit think we ought to be charging them to go in and use their park system. As far as non- residents go, I have absolutely no qualms about charging them to use it and I could care less even if you raise the fee a little bit higher to help offset some of those costs and Todd, I somehow think you could probably be ingenious enough to find a way to take care of that revenue this year. And he's shaking his head yes. And we could get this thing implemented and get on with it. I think it's a silly issue to come up every year. I think the only way we're going to get rid of the issue is to do what we should do and that is get rid of the fee. Mayor Chmiel: Okay, Steve. Councilman Berquist: Well I wasn't aware that it's been such a thorn in everyone's side as it appears to have been. My thought is that $15,000.00 is $15,000.00. Where else can you make $15,000.00 and $25,000.00 worth of revenue? How much time is actually spent policing this thing? That's question one. Question two, how much money is made off of concessions? I mean there's certain things that are done at that park to generate income.' I've never, I'm not privy to all these complaints that you folks apparently have been. I'm sure because of the positions that you've been in for much" much longer than I have. Councilman Mason: I quite honestly have never heard a complaint. Councilwoman Dockendorf: Oh really? . Councilman Senn: You haven't? Mayor Chmiel: In my 6 years I've not heard one complaint about the cost of parking. Councilman Berquist: I mean if you look at Lake Ann Park and you compare that to some of the other city parks that are here and in other cities, Lake Ann Park is, I mean there's no comparison. It's silly to even say let's compare it because it's far and away a superior facility. I understand your concern Todd. You say it would make your job that much easier. I believe it. But that's not our problem. One thing that I've got a question about. How many times has that gate keeper perceive a threat or get an implied threat and is there any of that that comes up as this security aspect of it? Todd Hoffman: There certainly is. In fact when I was first employed, that person was responsible for taking the money and then transporting it to City Hall. That has since been discontinued. The deputies now pick it up from that person. It is a very difficult position. We work with those people on their public relation skills when people enter the park and they're confronted to pay an entry fee to get into the park because obviously there are a number of folks who would just as soon drive right in. A comment on which way you go, I would say please don't separate the thing and just charge non-residents and not charge residents simply based on, we don't get rid of any of the administrative issues and we drop our revenues, at least based on the last 5 years, season non- residents made up S3,700.00 last year. Daily passes were SIO,OOO.OO. If you split that in half and give non- residents S5,OOO.00, you've got about S9,OOO.00 in non-resident fees coming in. Your softball teams were S5,100.00 so that's a pretty big chunk that is tacked on as a surcharge on your softball teams. So if we only charge non-residents, we will recoup all our costs but not much more than that. To answer your question, the first couple of years of concessions we averaged S5,OOO.00 to $7,000.00 in re\'enue at the concession and that does not designate profits. I can't quote you on the profits. . 42 .. . . City Council Meeting - January 9, 1995 Councilman Berquist: And who mans the concessions? An employee? Todd Hoffman: Concession employees, yes. Councilman Berquist: Much the same as these people that run the gate? Todd Hoffman: Correct. Councilman Berquist: And if the gate keeper system is abandoned, you're looking at paying $5.50-$5.25 an hour for a gate keeper. What are your costs per hour? How much is that going to go up if you have a traveling, a roving security person? Todd Hoffman: At least $2.00 an hour. $8.00 an hour. You're going to be looking for a different caliber person so a gate attendant is going to be an enforcer of some type and that's going to be a different caliber person. Mayor Chmiel: Yeah but we have our, some of the security within the park in itself. We have our CSO's going through there. They're driving through on a constant basis. And Sheriff Deputies are driving through there as well as well as our own. Councilman Senn: In fact they go through a great deal because they usually have to clean up the accidents out at the entry first. Mayor Chmiel: Yeah, that's the next thing we've got to take care of. Todd Hoffman: That's what the gate attendants do, they dial 911 a lot. Mayor Chmiel: Do you have anything else? Councilman Berquist: No, I don't... Mayor Chmiel: I guess you know, parks really are an amenity within the city and as beautiful as Lake Ann Park basically is, and maintained, even with the upkeep of the fields and everything else that we have, there are some additional costs incurred with that, just as it is with any park. But that one I think is just a little bit more. I think with the Park and Rec Commission coming back and asking to drop these fees probably should have been brought to us much earlier in 1994 for the budgeting purposes. I'm of the same opinion that Colleen is. Not for this year. I don't see that, and maybe I don't even see it for next year. But to be able to pick up additional dollars as such is one less way for us putting things into our budget and increasing our budget and raising taxes to a certain point as well. And I just feel that the way we have it, I think we should just keep it as is and continue in that particular vein. I guess I would be, and Don and I did have discussions on this as well, regarding what we should do with it and I think he expressed my position rather well here as well. So I would ask for a motion. In fact I'd even make the motion to keep and retain our daily park passes and seasonal pass for residents as well as seasonal passes for non-residents at the existing fees that we have and is there a second? Councilman Mason: Second. Mayor Chmiel: Moved and seconded. Any other discussion? 43 " City Council Meeting - January 9, 1995 . Ma)'or Chmiel moved, Councilman Mason seconded to keep the Parking Fees for 1995 at the same rate as the 1994 fees: S2.00, Dail)' Park Pass; S5.00, Seasonal Pass for Residents; and S10.00, Seasonal Pass for Non- Residents. All ,'oted i~ favor, except Councilman Senn and Councilwoman Dockendorf who opposed, and the motion canied with a vote of 3 to 2. Mayor Chmiel: Would you like to clarify as to why, other than what you've probably already had said. Councilwoman Dockendorf: Well you know in listening to Mark I think, I liked his solution. Just charging non-residents because the complaints you get are from residents who think they're being double taxed. Mayor Chmiel: $5.00. Councilwoman Dockendorf: Plus the daily. I mean if you're not expecting it and you drive up and you just want to use the lake and you're hit for $2.00, you won't go back because that's a negative experience. However, for non-residents, you know as I said, it's viewed as a regional park system and I wouldn't have a problem charging non-residents. Mayor Chmiel: Okay, Mark. Councilman Senn: Maybe it's the area I live in but the f~vorite comment I get fr~m that area is, and I get it every year because we raise their taxes every year but, you know they raise my taxes but they still charge. me to get into my park and I tell you, talk about a negative PR for this city, I think that's right up there as the number one and I spoke strongly about this last year. I'm going to speak strongly about it every year until we do something about it. If not, I see no problem... i. Mayor Chmiel: Well as I said, let them come in a little sooner and present it. Councilman Senn: Well I'm sorry. I'm going to take issue with that because I brought this up last year. We were going to study it. We were going to look at it and it was going to come back to us. And this year it was supposed to be gotten rid of and there's absolutely nothing that's happened except I talked with Todd and Todd tells me that we can pull this off and it's not going to hurt the budget. Mayor Chmiel: Did you follow through with it? Councilman Senn: Yeah. Mayor Chmiel: To make sure that it came to us in time for the budget... Councilman Senn: Brought it up again at budget time. That was in September-October. I mean I don't know what more follow-up I can do other than keep bringing it up. Okay. Mayor Chmiel: Okay, Mike. Councilman Mason: You know what, I can ride my bike over there on the trails and I don't have to pay anything to get into the park. Councilman Senn: Well you're lucky you have trails too. . 44 '. . . City Council Meeting - January 9, 1995 Councilman Mason: Yeah, I have in the 8 years that I have lived here, I mean just a little counter point here, I have never heard anyone complain about paying, a city resident, I've never heard a city resident complain about having to pay to go to Lake Ann. Like I said, I've paid my bucks every year I've lived here and if it's a...tax, so be it. I think it's worth it, ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS: SET DATE TO INTERVIEW COMMISSION CANDIDATES. CITY MANAGER. Don Ashworth: Yes, the City Council asked that this item not appear until after the first of the year, It's after the first of the year so I'm bringing it back to you. In hopes we can arrive at a date. Unfortunately we only have one off Monday in January because the other is Martin Luther King Day, The city is prohibited from conducting business on that day. Once we select a date, you had raised various questions the last time this item had come up and kind of wanted to know what your thoughts were on some of these. The issue about term limits for example we don't need to tackle tonight but do you wish to take and interview incumbents. Councilman Senn: Well Don these are the issues I thought we wanted to discuss at the work session. I mean that's why I was surprised to kind of see the questions posed for'tonight because these are the questions we outlined but we said these are what we really want ,to sit down and discuss and figure out which route we want to go on them. Don Ashworth: I didn't interpret it that way so. Councilman Senn: Am I wrong? Councilwoman Dockendorf: Well, to respond to Mark's question. I don't want to have a "'hole \\'ork session deciding how we select commission members. Councilman Senn: Well I'm not saying it has to be the whole work session but I mean, I feel strongly that we should have the work session and get it set one way or the other. Don Ashworth: Well you did say you wanted to look at the financial policies. I mentioned two other items that could be a part of the next work session so if you wanted to follow Mark's suggestion. Answer these questions as a part of the work session then move on to the financial thing and the construction...we could do that. The other problem with the commission, let's assume we don't meet until January to figure out answers to these questions and then we pick out some time in February to actually do it. That means we're going to have commission members starting 2 to 3 months after they could have started. Councilman Senn: We have commissioners in place don't we? Don Ashworth: Right but they're, and they will continue to, the policy is they continue to serve until they're replaced but I mean, you're taking away x number of months from a potential commissioner going on. Councilman Senn: Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see this as a multiple work session item. I mean I think we'll have a discussion and reach some conclusions at the work session and then it's a matter of putting it on the next Council agenda, up or down or whatever. I think most of these questions will be answered at the work session, 45 " City Council Meeting - January 9, 1995 1- Mayor Chmiel: Okay, what's Council's position? Councilman Berquist: I'm not that familiar with procedures but I mean I read the questions and answered them. Councilman Senn: Yeah, I did too but I mean we've got to get together and do that. Don Ashworth: If you all did that and just passed them in, I'd know the answer. Councilman Senn: Yeah, but we'll have different answers I'm afraid. Councilwoman Dockendorf: Yes, 10 minutes, yes, no, February. Councilman Mason: Number one is a yes. Councilwoman Dockendorf: Number two is 10 minutes. Councilman Mason: Well, 10 is kind of short. 15. Councilman Senn: I had 20 down. Mayor Chmiel: I think you can get things accomplished within 10 minutes myself. . Councilman Senn: The next one I had no. Councilman Mason: The subcommittee, no. Councilwoman Dockendorf: I put yes but that just means I won't show so. Mayor Chmiel: What month would you like terms to take effect? Councilwoman Dockendorf: February. Mayor Chmiel: Of this' coming year. Councilman Senn: Well I had first quarter down because I'd like to get away from this bit where we're trying to do it in the rush, that we're trying to rush everything else through up through December. Mayor Chmiel: I think first quarter would be good. Councilman Berquist: That they fill the position at the end of the first quarter. Councilman Senn: Yeah, like March 31st or April 1 or something like that and then we're on a cycle where we're not so hurried. Mayor Chmiel: And then we stagger those anyway with the times that they're eiected and when they go. Councilman Mason: Janua!)' 30th. . 46 . . . CITY OF CHANHASSEN 7~ - 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O.

The format will include trick-or-treating, face painting, a juggler/magician, cartoon movies, a game room sponsored by the Chanhassen Jaycees, hayride, and refreshments. All scheduled activities will be separate and placed in different rooms in the Recreation Center. Volunteers are being sought. I have contacted Jeanne Strauss of District 112 Community Education who works directly with various youth groups to see what groups may be available to help. I have also contacted the National Honor Societies from both Minnetonka and Chaska High Schools about volunteering. . Halloween letters were sent to all 1995 participating sponsors to explain the party and to request volunteers. This week I will take an inventory of our Halloween supplies and props to prepare for the party. The party is approaching quickly and I will be devoting more time to this event in order to create a fun party for . CITY OF CHANHASSEN ](!, -- 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147.

The leagues are operating close to maximum. A few teams still may be added . to various nights with the exception of Thursda)'s. Corporate League The Corporate League reduced its number of teams to 13. I received one evaluation out of 13, so I assume all teams are happy. Women's League The Women's League stayed the same this year with 7 teams. The league doesn't seem to grow. I would think that with all the new businesses in town the league would increase. The CAA and other groups have beellutilizing the open fields on Tuesdays for games and practices. An effort will still be number of teams. Over 35 Before the start of the season, the Over 35 Lea9Ue ~anted to split and sanction 4 teams to an Over 40 League and then keep the rest of the teil1Jls in the Over 35 League. That plan fell through because of a lack of interest. They stiUfavor sanctioning the league to Over 40 so it will be attempted again next season. The league had 12 teams this summer. . Mr. Todd Hoffman October 18, 1995 Page 2 . Men's Open The Men's Open Leagues were at full capacity with 16 teams. The leagues were split with 6 teams playing in Class C and 10 teams playing in Class D. More teams wanted to play in the lower division and this league format worked out well. Co-Rec The Co-Rec Leagues were down one team to 15 this summer. Some of the teams that played in the upper division would like to move down to the lower division next year. This would be a good idea to better match teams' playing abilities. General Comments 1. Both teams supply a new ball for each game (Penalty: 3 runs). 2. Home team determined by coin toss. 3. Continue to play make-up games during 4th of July week and one Saturday. . 4. Start games at 6:00 and 7: 10 p.m. due to darkness in the early season. 5. Change games from 8 to 7 innings, but keep same time limit (70 minutes) because games are squeezing in the 8th inning and then running over the time limit. This creates a delayed second game and is difficult when darkness is a factor. 6. Move to t-shirts instead of plaques. 7. Ifteams want playoffs, end the regular season sooner and then schedule playoffs on their regularly scheduled game night. 8. Add a profanity rule. 9. Keep an eye on the alcohol consumption. There seems to be a direct correlation between alcohol and the increased levels of verbal abuse toward the umpires. . . I .

Septemberfest has traditi()J1ally been a celebration of relatively low attendance. Is this because of people's busy schedules, i.e. closing up cabins, kids going back to school, coaching fall soccer, or other fall activities? It appears that the success of the celebration is not totally weather dependent. The weather has ranged from very warm and sunny to cold and rainy, resulting in similar numbers for attendance. The City invested $10,369.66 in the Septemberfest Celebration. A variety of community groups including the Lions and Senior Men's and Women's Clubs also commit significant time and money to this event. A total of $51 0.85 was collected from the petting zoo, pony rides, prize board and Rodeo Roper. Are we, as a city, spending tax dollars wisely for a celebration that has struggled? It will be helpful to get feedback from the Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission to improve Septemberfest or to cancel it altogether. The 1996 annual sponsorship program letter will be sent in November, and the status of Septemberfest needs to be included with the annual . . . CITY OF CHANHASSEN t~ 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147.

My understanding is that ~t the time of your commitment of $17,000, the Chanhassen Athletic Association was to receive $6,000 and the . remaining $11,000 was to be invested at the Chanhassen Recreation Center. As you know, the Athletic Association used your donation to help finance a new 3 bay permanent batting cage at Lake Ann Park. With encouragement from Lions member Bob Siegal, the city would like to commit to the construction of a Chanhassen Lions playground at the city's new Recreation Center. This project would require a multi-year investment and will need additional dollars to be initiated in the spring of 1996. To assist in the programming of this project, please let me know if the Lions would contemplate pledging additional dollars to this project. A complete playground, including surfacing, border material and installation, costs $30,000 to $50,000. Upon hearing from you, I will instruct the Park & Recreation Department to solicit design work on this project. ~g.t..ChanhassenLions exemplify what a service organization is all about. Please accept my sincere recognition of your investments in our community. ) cI~~ . c: Park & Recreation Department Don Ashworth, City Manager Chanhassen Villager Scott Molencamp, President, CAA, 8137 Dakota Lane, Chanhassen, MN 55317 CHANHASSEN SEPTEMBER FEST 1995 REPORT ON THE F AR~'lERS' ~'lARKET SALES i NCOf'1E F ROIl SALES, Sale of bvo ttirClt,OllSeS (9 $ 20,00 S,5 j e (If f artn proouce $ 40. {) 0 267.90 Total lncorn8 iron, GiSle; 327..9() EXPEr\jSES f f\JC:LIRRED: Di rn 1 er F arrns pt-oduce Gedney's I tiC, (pl ck:l es) L. klei n (purnpki ns) $ 60,00 13,66 6.25 Total e:~penses qQ 01 _' _' . _. r Net I ncorne"".""",."..,...,. $ ";')7 oq , .,'.... ..,....&..6.
