Attendance at City Council Meetings: A policy of having - Park and Recreation Commission members attend City Council meetings was developed mid-year 1992. This policy was adopted with the assumption that if an item pertaining to the commission was to be discussed at the Council level, that I would confIrm the attendance of the scheduled commissioner. I continue to advocate the attendance by Park and Recreation Commissioners to City Council meetings. .. e e -( e e z o ~ rI.l rI.l ~ ~ o u z o E= < ~ ~ u ~ ~ Q Z < ~ ~ < =- ~ ='" ='" ~ e Q ~ o u ~ ~ ~ u z < ~ ~ Eo- Eo- < ~ CI'l 0 t.:) ~ ~ ~ i s ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 0 V') 8 8 0 0 8 V') 0 00 0 00 00 - - - - - OtlJU ~ >< >< >< >< >< >< >< - I zo> \0 >< >< >< >< >< >< >< - I OUE-< \0 >< < >< >< >< >< >< N I rI:ltlJc..E-< 00 >< < >< >< >< >< >< N I <::JO ~ >< >< >< >< >< >< >< N I <::JO 0 >< >< >< >< >< >< >< - I -.::J...::l>- r-- >< >< >< >< >< >< >< N I -.::JZ N >< >< >< >< >< >< N I I ::E<>- V') >< >< >< >< >< >< < N I <c..~ r-- >< >< >< >< >< >< < N I ::E<~ C"l >< >< >< >< >< < >< N I u..tlJ/Xl C"l >< >< >< >< >< >< >< N I -.<Z \0 >< >< >< >< >< >< >< N I v.l ~ v.l v.l U ~ .g I-< 0 .c I-< 00 ~ l3 = Go) 00 u a g (.) 0 Go) ..c: c::: rI:l ~ ::E v.l /Xl < ::E ~ j ] ~ Go) E E c::: ;> Go) 0 .CO:S a a .... .... ~ ...::l 0 -. -. -. -. rJ5 00 'E ti ~ 00 ~ Go) ..s "0 ...... a 0 v.l ~ ~ V') r-- l3 ~ (.) v.l rI:l co:s ~ b <<S v.l ...... g 0 ~ ] ~ (.) ~ "0 Go) a (.) ::E a oil "0 c::: U ~ /Xl v.l fa u c::: v.l 0 .... .~ v.l v.l & .~ ~ 0 v.l U c::: 0 g .... v.l v.l ~ .~ = 0 0 0 00 U c::: ~ 0 '::2 ~ co:s ;>.

LOCATION: North of Kings Road and west of Minnewashta Parkway APPLICANT: Harstad Companies 2191 Silver Lake Road New Brighton, MN 55112 RLK Associates 922 Main Street Hopkins, MN 55343 Note: This proposal closely resembles a proposal put forth by Heritage Development in 1993 for the same property. PRESENT ZONING: RSF, Single Family Residential ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE: N - RSF S - RSF E - RSF W - RSF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The City's Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being centrally located in park deficient area No. 6 (see Attachme~ts A and B). The Park and Recreation Commission and City Council have focused their attention on this deficiency over the past five to eight years. The critical nature of the need for park acquisition in this area led to the commission's action of establishing a park fund reserve for land acquisition west of Lake Minnewashta. This reserve carries with it the criteria that the reserve be used d~ Harstad Development January 25, 1994 Page 2 e in conjunction with park dedication and that the park be at least ten acres in size. The public's desire for this park was reaffirmed throughout the public meetings held to review the upgrade of Minnewashta Parkway. On at least two separate occasions, residents took the opportunity of a public forum to inquire as to why a park had not been acquired to date. My response echoed the position of the Park and Recreation Commission. The city will acquire a park of at least ten acres in size through a joint park dedication/purchase arrangement at a time when any combination of the Ziegler, Wenzel, Headla and Hallgren properties were acquired and presented for development That time has arrived. As the commission is aware, during the period after this goal was established and concluding last February, the city explored an alternate land acquisition possibility-namely the acquisition of the Hallgren property. It was the city's desire to investigate the possibility of arranging a mutually beneficial "life estate" with Ms. Hallgren. This type of real estate transaction, if certain conditions are in place, can result in lower acquisition costs while at the same time benefitting the seller through the life estate and tax credits. My conversations and dealings with Ms. Hallgren in the area spanned approximately two years. Ms. Hallgren was cordial throughout these inquiries, but in our last meeting she respectfully declined the life estate concept. It was her position that if the use of her land is to change, it would be through an outright sale of the entire property. I informed Ms. Hallgren, through a ... follow-up thank you note, that the city did not wish to purchase her property outright without the · advantages of the life estate arrangement. By this time, other park plans for the area had matured and Park Study Area A had been identified for park purposes (see attached). Many conversations held over the years among commission members, council members, and staff have reflected the desire to locate the west Minnewashta Park "on" the parkway. To assist in defining options, the city retained Hoisington-Koegler Group to draft park studies for three defined areas. Two of these study areas included all or portions of the Hallgren property. Thus, the plan now being recommended, the plan which has been defmed and shaped by years of discussion, is Park Study Area A. Plan A was subsequently refined and is represented in your packet by the document dated June 17, 1993. The amenities depicted on this plan represent the items identified as desirable for this park in the City's Comprehensive Plan with the exclusion of the tennis court. Recent policy decisions of the commission recognize that neighborhood parks are not the optimum location for the construction of tennis courts and restrict such construction. AN ISSUE OF LAKE FRONTAGE The property being recommended for park purposes includes approximately 480.:t feet of lakeshore on Lake Minnewashta. This property is very narrow, being separated from the main proposed park site by Minnewashta Parkway. The area totals 19,439+ sq. ft. This property was not displayed on the applicant's concept plan as being included with the park. I am recommending that it be included as a part of the park, to be maintained as a small, low impact . e Harstad Development January 25, 1994 Page 3 swimming beach. City Code does not allow the applicant to utilize this area as a recreational beachlot (see underlined areas of attached Chanhassen City Code, Section -20-263, Recreational Beachlot). By taking public ownership, both the new development and existing neighbors benefit. COMPREHENSIVE TRAIL PLAN In regard to the Comprehensive Trail Plan, I am pleased to be able to report that the city's efforts to upgrade Minnewashta Parkway included the installation of an 8-ft. bituminous trail. This trail will parallel the entire parkway, switching from the east side of the parkway to the west side at Kings Road. This trail satisfies the Comprehensive Plan requirement of a trail along the parkway. The concept plan also includes an internal park trail with a connection to the proposed cul-de-sac to the north of the park. RECOMMENDATION Park It is recommended that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend the City Council approve the preliminary plat as presented with the inclusion of acquisition of the 10+ acre park depicted in Park Plan A including the lake shore property. The acquisition of the park to be accomplished through park dedication (1.72+ acres) and purchase (7.48+ acres). This acquisition shall be a condition of fmal plat approval. A Purchase Agreement shall be negotiated by the City Attorney, contingent upon City Council approval. Full park fee credit ($38,700 on 43 homes) is to be granted as a part of these negotiations. e Trail Acceptance of full trail dedication fees in force upon building permit application is recommended. Current trail fees are $300.00 per single family residential unit. ATTACHMENTS . 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

As you are aware, the city and the fonner applicant invested a great deal of time in reviewing the first application for this property. One item of discussion has been the acquisition of a to.:!: acre park along the parkway. I have attached four items which will be of interest to you in this regard: e 1. Staff report dated lune 22, 1993. 2. Letter from Rev. 10hn Ziegler dated luly 28, 1993; Response from Mayor Ouniel dated August 16, 1993. 3. Letters of support for the park. 4. Concept Park Plan.

Zone 4, is becoming fully developed with residential land uses. In the west side of this lone, residential areas exist with large lots (2.5 acres). Curry Farms Park was recently acquired in the eastern portion of Zone 4. Development of facilities in this area will adequately meet the recreation demand of residences in this area. Developments on the western end of Zone 4 are currently not served bya neighborhood park and "acquisition of such is recommerided. ZONE 5 The vast majority of land within Zone 5 is held in' public or semi-public ownership such as the holdings of Camp Tanadoona, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and the Minnewashta Regional ,Park. Additionally, the area is not likely to receive sanitary sewer service until after 2000. Because of these factors, no additional major municipal recreational development is recommended within the ne years. Prior to that time, however, Zone 5 may contain s part of the City's overall trail network. . ial areas within Zone 6 are effectively cut off from existing parks by major roadways on the north and south, Lake A Minnewashta on the east and by the Chanhassen city limits to. the ~ west. At the present time, there are no existing pUblic park facilities of any type within the southern portion of this area. In reviewing the needs of Zone 6, the most significant deficiency is the lack of neighborhood park facilities. Tennis courts, ball diamonds, open areas and picnic grounds are non-existent. Therefore, future acquisitions should accommodate such activities. A potential future park site is the area around Lake st. Joe. As future residential infi11 occurs, the City should be prepared through dedication and/or purchase, to acquire an appropriate parcel of land. Prior to that time, efforts should be focused on implementing the Chanhassen Trail plan in order to provide Zone 6 residents with safe, convenient access to existing park'facilities. ZONE 7 Chanhassen's 2000 Land Use Plan calls for Zone 7 to be developed in a mix of residential and office/industrial uses. As future development OcCU!S in this area, neighborhood park property will need to be acqu1red. Development proposals in this area should accommodate the trail corridors identified in the Trail Plan. 49 .

I am writing to voice my support of such a project I, like many of my neighbors, have small children who would greatly benefit from such a park. I understand that the Park and Recreation Committee has recommended that the proposed park be large enough to include sports fields, playground equipment, picnic, and beach areas. e As a lakeshore property owner, I pay a disproportionate share of the property taxes in my neighborhood. I accept this as part of the deal, but I do feel that we in the Minnewashta Parkway area deselVe appropriate and proportionate consideration by the City to accommodate the children of our neighborhood in return for our tax dollars. Please support the Planning Commission's recommendation to disapprove the Heritage Development Plan with a small park in a remote location and instead approve and direct our tax dollars toward a 10 acre park while underdeveloped, centrally located property is still available. Thank you for the opportunity to express my concern. Very truly yours. 3! ~gb cc: Todd Hoffman - Park and Rec Kate Aanenson - City Planning e RECE!VED d.

Please follow the Planning Commissions recommendation to not approve the Heritage Development Plan with a Park in a remote location which might invite late night activities. e I am against extending Stratford Lane to the west, feel it could have a detrimental property devaluation upon the properties affected. City Planner of Shorewood, Brad Nielson, recently publicly stated that regular family homes generate between 8 and 10 auto trips per day x 57 homes would equal about 500 cars and trucks per day. The access to Heritage Development should go into the center between Kings Road and Stratford Lane. Those property owners are selling the property to be developed and are experiencing the gain and should also shoulder the inconvenience. Sincerely, ~p~ Keith. F. Bedford e .....Q Susan E. Morgan & Linda Scott 4031 Kings Road Excelsior, Mn. 55331 e 7/15/93 Chanhassen Building Commission Chanhassen Park and Rec Commission Dear Commissioners, As owners of 8 acres of property facing the proposed park and development along Kings Road, -we believe our opinion con- cerning the proposal should be considered in your decision process. Eight years ago we purchased our 8 acres with the hope and dream of living a more secluded life. Since the house was completed, close to 3 years ago, developers have been threatening our "secluded" existence. The building had just begun when e developers were sending us offers to buy the property. We weren't interested, and still aren't. As we worked through the building process, the City of '""' Chanhassen impressed us with their thoroug~ess and dedication to preserving the building codes, the~by the environment around Kings Road and Lake St. Joe (a natural environment ~ake). The contractor was required to install a septic system twice the price of a normal septic system, and our house plans had to be modi~ied to meet set-back requirements. It is this presumed thoroughness and dedication we are relying on to support the park in this area, and to preserve e the environment. e The following are several reasons we, and- our neighbors on and around Kings Road have moved here: 1. To achieve greater privacy. 2. To enjoy the natural beauty and wildlife. - 3. To gain more space for their family and possessions. 4. To enjoy outdoor sports and activities. 5. To gain increased relaxation and to relieve stress. 6. To acheive increased personal security. It seems as though 57 homes squeezed into a pastural setting won't allow the existing residents, nor the future residents to satisfy their reasons for moving along Kings Road/Minnewashta Parkway. The developer would be destroying the essetice cf the area. We're not naive enough to believe development won't happen. It will happen. We would like to believe the developers would e put greed aside and concentrate on those people for-whom they're building the houses, and their neighbors. 57 houses squeezed into this area would greatly reduce privacy, destroy the natural beauty and wildlife. In addition, it would greatly increase stress ( on nature and people ), and increase the need for security (alarms, police, etc.) The developers are perceived as pillagers. Their reputation and support would be more positive if they sold the front 10 acres of the Zeigler property to the Park Commission. Their support of the park would show that they are interested in not only the rural dollar, but also show their interest in the rural environment. The City of Chanhassen has the reputation of supporting rural life and environment. We hope that our property taxes are e still well-founded. Following are our specific areas of concern. The following are areas of personal concern. We are e addressing them here hoping someone on the board will either address them, or see to it the developer follows through. Gssui:) ,- Concern: The Ziegler property, and its adjacent properties have been drain tiled to allow field drainage to flow into Lake St. Joe. Lake St. Joe is a Natural Environment Lake. Chemical fertilizer run-off from 57 homes would be death for the lake. In addition, the drainage runs across our property. There would have to be some kind of easement'established. The drainage would have ,to be ~ontained, not exposed as it is now. It would also have to be approved by the DNR, and tested periodically. ~~ The ownership of Kings Road has not been established. Concern: The development may have to purchase some of our land in order to develop the road. How will that effect our property lines? e How will development of the road effect our property taxes, special assessments? ~ssu~ The development will mean city water and sewer. Concern: We just invested in a $10,000 septic and well system. We do not feel the need, nor do we have the finances to hook up to city water and sewer. Would we be "Grandfathered" in? If so, for how long? C ISSUE::::> -- Concern: Environmental impact by the park and the development. Our concern, is that the effect of these proposed 57 homes has not been considered environmentally. Living on St. Joe, and being surrounded by wetlands, makes us sensitive to the natural balance" in this ' area. Many of Minnesota's wetlands are being destroyed by development. ,We will fight to preserve St. Joe. The development of Minnewashta roadway has lead to the demise of our resident Beaver. Herons are not seen as often, and who knows how the "holding ponds" for run-off will effect the lake. Eurasian mi1foi1 was spotted for the first time this year. Will 57 new homes increase traffic on -- a lake that can't support it? ---" e ~~~~. . c~#4aJ . ~~ ~,fJlt7l ~v1-/. . JULY 26, 1993 Dear Chanhassen City Council, This letter is from a resident of the Minnewashta Parkway area, and we wish to let you know that we strongly appose the construction of another park to house ball fields or any other form of an activity that would bring extra traffic, parking problems, noise and garbage to our soon to be finished, beautiful parkway. We also wish you to take note of all the ball parks close by, such as; Freeman Field, Cathcart, Tonka Bay, Excelsior, Lake Ann, etc. . We certaintly do not need ball fields on a residential street. Parents in favor of this should think about the traffic hazards this could cause for our children living on the parkway. Lets try to keep our parkway quiet, clean and traffic down to a minimum.

FAX (612) 937-5739 August 2, 1993 James and Frances Borchart 7331 Minnewashta Parkway Excelsior, MN 55331 Dear Mr. & Mrs. Borchart: Thank you for your letter of July 26, 1993, in regard to the possibility of the city acquiring and developing a neighborhood park at the intersection of Kings Road and Minnewashta Parkway. Your letter is being forwarded to the City Council. Additionally, however, it is my desire to clarify the Park and Recreation Commission's intentions for pursuing the acquisition. of a park west of Lake Minnewashta. The city has identified the west Minnewashta neighborhood as park e deficient since the inception of the City's Comprehensive Plan (please see attachments). This deficiency has received a great deal of attention over the years from city administrators as property has become increasingly scarce in this area of the city. The City Council also recognized this and approved a budget reserve to assist in the future acquisition of a park through a combined purchaselland dedication process (the dedication of parkland as a part of the platting process is routinely required). The desires of the Park and Recreation Commission in this pursuit are to create a neighborhood park/playground, to preserve open space, and to serve the recreational needs of those residents typically residing within one-half mile of the park. Neighborhood park amenities include: open space, neighborhood ballfields (the Park and Recreation Commission maintains a policy of not scheduling league activities in neighborhood parks), a soccer field, sand volleyball courts, play equipment, half-court basketball areas, and accommodations for vehicle parking. As depicted in the attaChed conceptual park plan, this site would also allow for swimming in Lake Minnewashta at a small beach separated from the main body of the park by Minnewashta Parkway. The City Council is deeply concerned about the safety of the city's residents. The installation of a trail along Minnewashta Parkway will provide for safer non-vehicular uses of the parkway corridor. The park location was selected in part because of its relationship to this new trail. The trail will cross from the east side of the parkway (coming from the south) to the west side of the parkway at Kings Road. This allows for two conditions to occur: 1) a crosswalk between the main body of the park and the beach can be constructed, 2) the park and trail will combine at this location allowing for convenient access to the park's amenities and the creation of an open- tit air atmosphere which will complement the parkway's current appeal. Furthermore, the park will ft t. J PRINTEO ON RECVCLED PAPER e e e Mr. & Mrs. Borchart August 2, 1993 Page 2 provide a safe play environment for residents of the area and will satisfy thfee primary functions. First, parks meet positive human needs, both physically and psychologically; secondly, parks and open space areas enhance and protect physical resources such as the air, water, and soils; and lastly, parks and open space have a positive impact on economic development and real estate values. The alternative if this !O;!: acre park is not acquired would be the eventual construction of 18;!: single family homes. Averaging 8-10 vehicle trips per day, this would result in 144 to 180 additional vehicle trips per day on the parkway. The park would also generate vehicle trips; however, at lower rates throughout all seasons with a significant reduction in fall through spring. Again, thank you for your correspondence. If you have additional comments or questions, please feel free to contact me.

Developments on the western end of Zone 4 are currently not served by a neighborhood' park and acquisition of such is recommended. z.otiU The vast majority of land within Zone 5 is held in public or semi-public ownership such as the holdings of Camp Tanadoona, the Minnesota landscape Arboretum and the Minnewashta Regional Park. Additionally, the area is not likely' to receive sanitary sewer service until after 2000; Because of these factors, no additional major municipal recreational development is recommended within the next ten years. Prior to that time, however, Zone 5 may contain trails as a part of the City's overall trail network. ill.U e Residential areas within Zone 6 are effectively cut off from existing parks by major roadways on the north and south, lake Minnewashta on the east and by the Chanhassen city limits to the west. At the present time, there are no existing public park facilities of any type within the southern portion of this area. In reviewing the needs of Zone 6, the most significant deficiency is the lack of neighborhood park facilities. Tennis courts, ball diamonds, open areas and picnic grounds are non-existent. Therefore, future acquisitions should accommodate such activities. A potential future park site is the area around lake St. Joe. As future resident i a 1 i nfi 11 occurs, the Ci ty shoul d be prepared through dedi cati on and/or purchase, to acqui re an appropri ate parcel of land. Prior to that time, efforts should be focused on implementing the Chanhassen Trail plan in order to provide Zone 6 residents with safe, convenient access t~ existing park facilities. Z01iLZ. Chanhassen's 2000 land Use Plan calls for Zone 7 to be developed in a mi x of resident i a 1 and offi ce/i ndustri a 1 uses. As future development occurs in this area, neighborhood park property will need to be acquired. Development proposals in this area should accommodate the trail corridors identified in the Trail Plan. e 73 L IJ o D II I I I , I I I I I I I I I , ",..., ./ ./ / ./ I l \ - '"' \ '] \.

The intent to preserve, protect, enhance and access the Bluff Creek Corridor with a trail system has been widely discussed over the past few years. Efforts in this area have intensified as of late with the submittal of the LCMR (Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources) Grant for the Bluff Creek project and three separate land acquisitions totalling over 35 acres. Development surrounding and affecting the Bluff Creek Corridor are asked to honor the expectations of the community in this regard. COMPREHENSIVE TRAIL PLAN: The Recreation Section of the Comprehensive Plan identifies a, trail following Bluff Creek from its beginning north of Highway 5 south to the Minnesota River valley. A second pedestrian route will be created along the west frontage road concurrent with its construction. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Park and Recreation Commission direct staff to work with the applicant to ensure that adequate land is set aside along Bluff Creek to achieve the goals of preserving, protecting, enhancing and providing trail access throughout the corridor. To accomplish this, full or partial credit of park dedication fees shall be granted for land dedicated to parks which lie outside the flood plain. e To date, staff has not had the opportunity to meet with the applicants.

The school district, in conjunction with HGA architects has commenced with the development of site related plans ,for the proposed school. "e GOALS OF THE PROJECT The primary goal of this development proposal is to create an urban design that allows for flexibility and diversity in land uses, is environmentally sensitive and meets the goals of the draft TH 5 corridor plan and other City ordinances. The Developer is proposing to achieve this through the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process. This PUD has the following objectives: 1. To create an urban development with diverse land uses that are compatible with adjacent properties and land uses; 2. To integrate the land uses with the proposed elementary school; 3. To protect Bluff Creek and its tributaries as open space and landscape corridors within the development; 1 e . Civil Engineering. Transportation.

' ',..':. ," ", ; , . .. .~. .. PROJECT DESCRIPTION .~ The CCC consists of a total of 121.2 .acres for development. (The proposed elementary school site'is not included as part of this proposal). Of this total, the general land uses are as follows: e * Office\warehouse * Multi-family * Single-family * Recreation\open space * Wetland mitigation * Road ROW 46.1 acres , 26.6 acres 37.0 acres 34.9 acres 5.7 acres 5.8 acres 121.2 acres TOTAL Office\warehouse land use The of~ice\warehouse land uses will allow for the development of approx1mately 485,000 square feet of building. The lot coverage ranges from 16 to 37 percent depending on the proposed land use and the nature of the lot design. 3 e e Residential The residential land uses consist of both single and multi~family. The single family development area consists of 59 lots on 29.3 acres for an average density of 1.6 uni ts per acre. Each lot meets the minimum lot requirements prescribed by the City of Chanhassen development ordinance., The multi-family development area (:onsists of :26.6 ~cresfor .174 units. The overall multifamily 'density is 6.5 units per acre. GENERAL SITE DESIGN .,., . ,,',:- 1 " "0""-."'- The PUD process offers an opportunity to design a site in 'a manner that achieves a more creative 'use of the~and~whileeasing the constraints~nd restrictions ,of:normalzoning ~ district.standards. " The result is that the -development plan maybe'more sensitive to- the specific 'features of the site and 'more . responsive to adjacent',:, ""'..:';: land uses. The 'following section ,des'cribes 'Borne of the more " ' important design features associated with the -.cCC and-how the ," \ ;...;'<~~;' proposed PUD is consistent with .the:Ci 1:1' 's ::-reyiew::crlteria.," ' ','.-~. . ". 1 . Preservation of desirable 8i te characteristics and .open. space and protection of sensitive environmental features, including steep slopes, mature trees, creek, wetlands, lakes and scenic views. -~ ",\.:. e. The site is currently used for agricultural purposes with an operati~9 farmstead. The site. is generally described by the presence of existing farm lands, overstory trees, the Bluff Creek and its tributaries, and rolling topography. , It is anticipated that grading will be completed to achieve an earthwork balance (cut and fill) arrangement on the site. There are some steep slopes, and mature trees along portions of the creek. These areas will be protected during the grading ,and development processes. The intent of the development is to incorporate the existing vegetation and open space corridors for the creeks and steep slopes into a high visibility and integral landscape component of the site design. The wetland areas, both the 100 year flood plain and National Wetland inventory map areas are identified. The City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan identifies the Bluff Creek Main Channel as protected open space. The proposed development plan identifies a 100 foot open space corridor on each side of Bluff Creek (total of 200 feet). This corridor will also include a public trail system> e "~:Q 4 2. More efficient and effective 'use of ~and,open space, and public facil~ ties through mixing of land uses and assembly and development of land in larger ~arcels. e ; The development proposal will allow for the more efficient use of the land and provide the City with a more logical and cost 'efficient approach for the timing and . phasing. of public improvements. For example, the development' site i~ sufficiently large to allow for the/planning , .of' a. ,single, eomprehe'nsive stormwater drainage system that'will'maximize the. effectiveness of nutrient removal -while.reducing thecitr~B.1on97:~~.~i~te~~nce costs. ., . .,' . .',. '.: '" ' The proposed development will also assist the City in the timing and phasing of trunk utilities and theeast\we~t collector roadway, system to serve the "proposed development. and the development proposalS of adjacent properties~".., For' ;example, i t-~is our understanding that the collector roadway will be ~xtending in two phases: phase I will be expanded east from Galpin Blvd. to the eastern fork of BluffCr.eekj:and :phase.

CCC are~. .'-" . ".;.~ .~--: -":~. .:-. i:...., '. f. , '~'~'\;.~f.iIT , . High quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned . 5i te planning, landscaping and'building architecture should reflect higher quality' design than, is found elsewhere' in the communi ty . Prior to City approval, a final set of PUD documents will be submi t ted to the Ci ty . As they are developed, each lot and subarea of the PUD will be submitted to the city of Chanhassen for formal review of building plans, landscaping, signage, and lighting in order to be in compliance wi th the PUD development guidelines. The City will utilize its normal site plan review procedures for each lot and sub area. The approved PUDdocuments will establish firm guidelines to ensure that the site is developed in a consistent and well planned manner. 3. .~ ~.e The CCC site design is meant to complement the characteristics of the existing property. The design will be commensurate with a first class office\industrial park and residential development. Impervious surface coverage and building densities are below the minimum standards established as part of the City's development code. The open space corridors and landscape areas exceed typical zoning regulations and standards.' . . The residential areas will be planned and developed to match the existing topography, complement adjacent land uses and provide a natural progression from one land use to the next. The single- family residential area will be designed to complement the 5 e e Timberwood Addition and enhance the Bluff Creek area. The multi- family area will be designed to serve asa natural progression from the office\industrial land uses to the north and those that may eventually be proposed to the east and south. It is the developers intent to have an overall multi-family density of eight units per acre designed in a fashion that complements the existing. site terrain. ' . The PUD site plan provides a consistent edge buffer.on its western and southern property line.' "The setbacks proposed along T.H. 5 for parking and building have been expanded in width for a landscape buffer yard. These areas will be denseJ,.Y~ilndscaped.tocomplement and expand, the vegetationmassings along the creek beds.. .' :..' - ..", A trail is proposed to run 'from'south to north along Bluff Creek' through the site. o' The : City' ;~t 'Chanhassen ,: is proposing a . recreational trail to run the entire length of Bluff Creek from T.H. 5 to Lyman .Blvd~' :The trail..would.be a combination of bituminous and\or concrete. Schematically;' ,the trail is.shown paralleling the main channel of .Bluff Creek up to 1!'.H.5, achieving' an internal trail loop. . -The City of Cbanhassen will be reviewing' this plan so that the 'routes will be reserved for implementation. '0' J- .." .'. . . . 4. Sensitive development in transitional areaS located between different land uses and along significant corridors within the City. e, The major transitional . areas for<the 'CCC development is to the south, soutwest and southeast. The proposed. single-family residential development has been designed to complement the existing Timberwood Estates, and other potential single-family development may be proposed to the south. The proposed multi- family is designed in a manner that allows for a natural progression from the proposed office\industrial land uses to the north and the industrial land uses that may be proposed to the south. Bluff Creek is being treated as a protected water course on both the main channel and its tributary. In order to protect the stream banks and promote water quality, grading activities are anticipated to be restricted. In several instances, roadway, parking lots and buildings are designed to be further from the creek in order to enhance the open space corridor. . 5. Development which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The comprehensive Plan has guided this site for office\industrial and residential development. The proposed land uses include office\warehouse, and single-family and medium density multi-family land uses. The proposed land uses are generally consistent with the City's comprehensive plan. e 6 Also of importance is the consistency of the proposed plan with the draft T. H. 5 Corridor development plan. This plan generally allows _ for office\industrial, and high density residential land uses for ' ~ the CCC area. Again, the proposed CCC PUD is consistent with the draft T.H. 5 Corridor development plan. 6. Parks and open space. The concept PUD plan shows a trail system along the Bluff Creek area . The creation of additional public open 'Space 'will be consistent with the park ~ftd open, and trail plans. .~ _'~ - : ..- ~ ... ~-. provision of housing 'affordable' to" al1"income' 'groups if appropriate within ~e POD. " It is, anticipated that the Diul ti-family development will generally meet this requirement. As mentioned earlier in this narrative, the developer of this property will commit to 'showing a site .design and building pattern that meets an overall development density of eight units per acre. The specific site design and building.type will be created to serve as a natural progression between land uses and to fit the existing topography ,and vegetation. Given these development parameters, .it .is believed that the .multi-family. development area should include a building product that may be affordable to most income groups. ' 7. , -~ 8. Energy conservation through the use of more efficient building designs and sightings and the clustering of buildings and ,land uses. e Energy conservation for the building areas will occur in at least two manners. First, earth mounding will help shield the buildings from the rigors of the seasonal weather extremes. ' Secondly, architectural treatment of the building will attempt to capture the most efficient and effective design related to' energy conservation. Each building will be evaluated for energy efficiently with a cost \benefi t analysis regarding insulation techniques and R-values. The residential areas will primarily use landscaping and existing vegetation to promote energy efficiency. 9. Use of traffic management and design techniques to reduce the potential for traffic conflicts. Improvements to area roads and intersections may be required as appropriate. The use of traffic management strategies will be encouraged by the office\industrial park developer as tenants are sought for individual parcels. The objective will be to encourage the use of ride share\car pool types of programs which are a low cost traffic management tool. other items such as staggered work hours, flexible hours will alleviate peak hour traffic congestion. 7 e e e e The proposed land uses are also viewed by the development team as a way to minimize traffic congestion.- The CCC PUD is essentially a mixed use development that integrates employment and residential land uses. This form of land use integration has been demonstrated to reduce the number of trips using arterial roadways. . ...;: . .' . .....' "'. ~... - - " ': .~. ~ .-.. . '. / ". f" .' ~ ,'''., .....;.

It is the opinion of their office that such a sale would be perfectly legal. In discussing the issue of the language of the referendum question, "Land in southern Chanhassen," it was felt that it would be appropriate to replace the land being sold with other property in the same vicinity. However,this is not absolutely essential. The sale of Bandimere Park and a subsequent repurchase of other parkland would be a complex process. Staff recognizes that if the margins are adequate, a sale could allow parkland in excess of the acreage of Bandimere to be acquired. I urge the commission to be comprehensive in your thoughts about this issue. It seems ironic that on many ocC.asions we curse the shortcomings of others for not buying parkland inside the MUSA Line years ago when it was "inexpensive"; but we find ourselves tempted to barter with a piece of property Which was purchased economically and has increased in value.

Very little has changed since that time with the exception that the road has been included in a tax increment district. This may be cause for optimism, but is certainly nota guarantee that a trail will be constructed. The list of projects already in line for the downtown district far exceed the cumulative increment which will become available. The actual road upgrade is also a high priority of many governing units, but will require sources of funds from all to be realized (increment may also be dedicated to the road project). Tax increment financing has been a golden egg for parks and recreation over the years. This egg, however, comes with strings. . C ITV OF CHANHASSEN /a~ 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147.

The program we will offer is called Kreative Kids Workshops, which basically consists of two sessions: Session I - Drama and Session II - Art Forms. ( These workshops will be offered to children entering grades 1st - 6th in the fall and will be conducted approximately from June 13 - August 5 at the Chanhassen Elementary School. The $1,000.00 grant will go towards the funding for instructors and supplies, so that fees for the program may be kept to a minimum.

Attached you will find a memo from Sharmin AI-Jaff, Planner II, to Don Ashworth, which explains in detail the origin of the Carver County Linkage Line, who is paying for it, and what purpose it serves. There is a defmite advantage for the City of Chanhassen by having the Linkage Line located within our Senior Center; we have easy access to information right at our fingertips. For instance, when I was looking to have some type of free legal assistance available to our Senior Center, Kitty Sitter researched other centers that offer such a service and a referral was made. Currently the focus of the Carver County Linkage Line is on trying to reach the western part of our county and to market this free service to not just seniors, but to anyone who may need information on senior issues.

FAX (612) 937-5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager FROM: Sharmin AI-Jaff, Planner I DATE: September 27, 1993 SUBJ: Update on Senior Linkage Line Two weeks ago we discussed the Senior Linkagel..-ine and its functions. As you requested, the following is a background and an update on ~~tJew service. In 1989, the City of Chanhassen conducted a Senior Needs Assessment Study. One of the needs identified in the study was information and referral t()i serve the community. Staff worked with _ the Senior Commission and prepared a Senior Servic~s Directory. Unfortunately, some of the ., phone numbers were outdated as soon as the directory was published. This prompted tPe commission to think of other means to.provide the seI)'ice and staff was directed to research alternatives. In January 1992, the Senior ComnUssion had their goals$ession and the implementation of an information and referral service was identified as one of their highest priorities. On March 17, 1992, staff began working with Ms. Julie Bentz, Senior Linkage Line Coordinator. The Senior Linkage Line is an infonnation and referral operation, organized by Senior Resources and authorized by the Metropolitan Council Program onAging~The Senior Linkage Line Network is a network of ~teS offering infonnatiop. ~d~~ferril1 seryices for..sepi()rs in .the .vvest metro area. Facts on how to provide an information and referral service in Chanhassen were discussed. Ms. Bentz, with her Advisory Council, were supportive of the idea; however, staff was informed that Senior Linkage Line provides services county wide only rather than to individual cities. The Senior Commission and staff began working on gaining support for this program community wide. Numerous meetings took place with sepiors, city planners, administrators, senior citizen center presidents, church pastors, and community leaders of cities in Carver County to demonstrate the need for this service to the county. The following agreement was reached which was approved by the Carver County Commission on May 25, 1993. e f e e Ie Don Ashworth September 21, 1993 Page 2 Senior Linkage Line provides the following: * Installation of the program which will be updated every two months at no cost to the city. * Training of volunteers on how to use the system. The City will provide the following: * ** ** * Local Promotion of the program through city newsletter, local paper, flyers, etc. A computer to install the information on, which is part of the Senior Center. Telephone equipment, which is part of the Senior Center. StaffNolunteer Time. The city committed to staffing the phone from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Monday through Friday by using volunteers through the Senior Center. Office space, which is available in the Senior Center. ** ** Note: All these facilities and equipment are dual purpose and are otherwise available to support Senior Center functions. The County committed to provide the following: * * * * * Salary for Carver County Senior Linkage Line Site Coordinator. Pay installation and monthly phone bill for a Toll Free 1-800 number. Reimbursement for mileage, 30 miles round trip per week at $0.28 per mile. Pay postage for mailing to each senior in Carver County through the first year. Provide volunteers and staff coverage of Senior Linkage Line phones from 12:00 - 4:00 p.m. five days per week. Participate in county wide publicity for the Senior Linkage Line. * The program has been operating since June 1, 1993. It is a successful example of a joint project that required cooperation between the city, county, and the state. Kitty Sitter, Carver County Senior Linkage Line Coordinator, was hired as an employee of the city, with a salary paid by the county. Kitty was hired in May of 1993. She has proven to be a great addition to the City's staff. I requested that Dawn Lemme act as Kitty's supervisor because she spent more time and had more contact with the Senior Center, and she accepted. Both Dawn and myself have met with Kitty on several occasions to discuss responsibilities, goals, and objectives for Senior Linkage Line. These goals and objectives are attached to this memo (see Attachment #2) The county has hired Helen Neilson-Eckstein through a Title 5 Program, 20 hours per week, to work on the Senior Linkage Line. Helen is a Chanhassen senior citizen who has learned to operate the computer and became familiar with many of the services available from the county. , Don Ashworth September 21, 1993 Page 3 e She answers the telephone and helps callers obtain the information they need. There are other seniors working with the Senior Linkage Line, however, the rest are volunteers. Everyone seem to be very dedicated to see the program succeed. Two of the volunteers are former senior commission members who wanted to remain involved in senior activities. The main office of Senior Linkage Line which serves the entire metro area, hired an intern to help with the program. Staff was contacted by Julie Bentz to confIrm that the new intern will be touring Carver County to publicize the program. The program is still new. During the month of June, over a two week time period, Senior Linkage Line received 17 inquiry calls and 19 requests. In July we received 17 calls, 23 requests and we made 20 referrals. During the month of August, we received 16 calls, 19 requests, and 24 referrals were made. During the month of September, we received 26 calls, 28 requests, and we made 33 referrals (see Attachment #2). As you can see, the program is continuing to grow and is doing well at a very low cost to the city. We are basically using existing equipment through the Senior Center as well as volunteers. Staff is available to provide guidance. We will continue to provide an update on this program as we progress. e e I o .

FAX (612) 937-5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Todd Hoffman, Park and Recreation Director FROM: Jerry Ruegemer, Recreation Supervisor DATE: January 20, 1994 jR SUBJ: 1994 Picnic Fees e Conversations dating back to the December Park and Recreation Commission meeting stated tliat the 1994 park reservation fees need to be ameJided. The Park and Recreation Commission indicated that they would like different rates for gt'oups versus businesses. Staff recommends that the resident/non-resident group rates for all four picnic sites remain at the same rate as 1993, i.e. $27.00 and $80.00 for LakesidelParkview, $80.00 and $185.00 for Picnic Pavilion/Recreation Shelter, and $55.00 and $160.00 for Lake Susan. Staff is also recommending the establishment of a Chanhassen/non-Chanhassen business rate. I have illustrated several options on the attached sheet showing increases ranging from 10% to 40% higher than 1993 business rates for the commission's consideration. In the event that the new picnic fee did not calculate to an even dollar amount, it was rounded to the next dollar. As discussed at the December Park and Recreation Commission meeting, the 50% rule to receive a resident group rate will be abolished as a result of the new fee structure. I've had five to ten picnic requests to date. Finalization of the 1994 picnic fees would greatly assist in processing. picnic reservations. Last year, our department received <acommentfromalocaL~hurchgroup that felt it was unnecessary for them to pay the $200.00 refundable damage deposit required of all groups making reservations. They.reasoned that if damage occurred at the picnic site, they weren't going anywhere and would pay for damages...They also noted the high cost of issuing a check that would eventually be voided. A policy should be established on whether or not all church groups should be required to pay a refundable dalllage deposit. e 1994 PICNIC RESERVATION FEES ~ LAKE ANN PARK.

Attendance was taken using the new form. Those present included Phyllis Lindstrand, Carly Sorscher, Farrah Merchant, LeeAnn Olinger, Mike Fahey, Susan Hurm, and Danyelle Mannix. Natalie Rossini arrived a little later. Not present included Charles Lawler, Louise Lehner, Molly DeBower, and Rich Lambert. The agenda was approved with the addition of three items.. Old Business. 1) City Council Updates. Natalie Rossini, Susan Hurm, Phyllis Lindstrand, Nicole Lindstrand, Danyelle Mannix, and Jeanne Straus attended a Chanhassen Park & Recreation Commission meeting on Nov. 16, 1993. Park & Rec members asked what youth in our area need, specifically related to teen social and recreational needs. District 112 teens and Minnetonka teens responded to the question. Both groups agreed to meet and brainstorm the question and return to the Commission with their responses. Lee Ann will visit with the high school student council. Danyelle will ask the high school leadership group for their input and Jeanne will get information from Middle School students. ~ 2. Loaves & Fishes. The trip into the three churches on Nov. 11 was considered a big success by those who attended. In fact, by word of mouth, many others want to become involved. Lori Wellens will look into making arrangements after the first of the year. 3. Volunteer Service Directory. It is at the printers. There are 3000 copies being made to be distributed to high school and middle school youth. There are 49 different sponsoring agencies of volunteer opportunities. Discussion took place as to how the directories should be distributed this year. Lee Ann agreed to meet with CHS social studies teachers about a distribution process. At CMS, perhaps thru Advisor/Advisee or AA groups. (Jeanne will ask Mrs. Bomer.) Phyllis is willing to help with this. e 4. YC Meeting Notice in local newspapers & in high school paper. Natalie will work with the three local newspapers. Farrah will work with the school paper. Danyelle & Jeanne worked on an announcement. Reads as follows: The Youth Commission will meet on Saturday, January 8 at J's Restaurant for a noon luncheon at J's Restaurant. Discussion items will include: 1) Sharing new ideas for youth & teen programming. These ideas will be passed on to the Chanhassen Park & Recreation Commission who are exploring the possibility of making community recreation space available for teen programming. It is proposed that a community recreation space be included in the new elementary school in Chanhassen. This is a follow-up to the discussion which took place between area youth and the Commission on Nov. 16. 2) Review results of the Chaska High School Holiday Clothes/Gift Drive. 3) Plan attendnce VED. RECEI uEe 161993 CllY OF CHANHASSEN .~ for February Leadership Conference. All Youth Commission meetings are open to the public. For additional information contact Natalie at 474-1740 or Jeanne at 368-3686. e- 5. Tree Donation from Target (Chanhassen store) to District 112. It was thought that the tree could be used for the Holiday Gifts Project sponsored by YC and student council. The tree must be picked up at 10:00 am at Target on Saturday, December 18. Natalie will talk to the Herald and ask if they plan to cover the event. Due to scheduling difficulties with the Target tree, we looked for another tree. A live tree has been donated'by Chaska Farm & Garden (owner Tom Hayden) and will be used for this project. The tree will be given to CAP agency to be distributed to a family who needs one. 6. The need for sub-committee work was discussed. We seem to have a need for a photographer and a writer in order to get newspaper coverage ofYC events. Farrah will ask Louise if she will help with the public relations responsibilities. Another task is to reserve the meeting space for Youth Commission meetings. Phyllis has been making those reservations and has agreed to continue doing that. 7. YC and Key Club provided 7 high school chaperones for the Dec. 3, 1993 Middle School Teen Night. The high school youth enjoyed the experience and volunteered to help again at the January Teen Night. 8. It was suggested that YC members have t-shirts or sweatshirts in order to provide more "press" and to be used in photo opportunities such as the Dee 18 Target "Communitree Project". Jeanne wiIl have a computer banner "Youth Commission" made for December 18 and for future use.. Lee Ann, Danyelle and Natalie will work on a sketch for YC t'shirts. (Update: In a brunch meeting with youth members on December 9 at Jeanne's house, youth brainstormed ideas for t'shirts. City, county, and school logo's will be displayed in a "rainbow" pattern with Youth Commission in bold print on a navy shirt. Will bring sketches to the next meeting.) ee 9. Lee Ann & Natalie still plan to go to the Underground at Shepherd of the Hills Church. They wiIl report back on the current activities of the teen center. 10. Include in newspapers: Info on YC meetings, need for community role model nominations, and need for new YC member in Carver County vacancy. Lori & Jeanne? 11. Recruitment of new member for Carver County. Suggestion: Mark Litfin. Carly Sorscher & Mike Fahey will check with Deb Wagner about current status of vacancy. Jeanne will check with senior citizen group in Chanhassen via Dawn Lemme. 12. Lee Ann attended the "Learn t6 Lead" conference on November 6 & 7th. Her 4-H group actually planned a project. She will share info on Learning Styles at our next mtg. 13. Carly Sorscher submitted a description of the Youth Commission to be used in the City of Chaska Community Calendar. Write-up will be reviewed at the next meeting. ee _.........___. .~~~_~d.~~_. ..... ~ ,e 14. "Hero" articles. Brief article should be written up for the newspapers asking community people to identify individuals who demonstrate the eight community values. Lori Wellens and Jeanne will initiate that. Farrah & Jeanne will talk with the English teachers about working with this as a "composition" assignment. 15. Natalie agreed to get picture of students who attended the November Loaves & Fishes enlarged. Will make a "Community Service" poster for the high school office window. 16. Lee Ann and six other high school students attended the Parent Involvement Forum facilitated by Dick Menzel at the high schoollibrary on Monday, November 22, 1993. Topic: What parents/guardians expect of their teenage children. What teenagers expect of their parents/guardians. Lots of questions and answers. Good job by the students. Dick mentioned that he would like to offer the forum again next year but will include students in the planning process. One ideas was to offer a forum around prom time asking this same question related to prom issues. Natalie & Lee Ann will look into it. e 17. Since the "Show & Tell" is coming up so fast, a brunch meeting will be held at Jeanne's house at 7 AM on Thursday, Dec 9 for planning. All pictures, slides, video tapes are to be delivered to Danyelle ASAP. She will serve as the "technology" expert in putting the video presentation together. Volunteers are needed to make a display poster and gather handouts to be used on January 13 at the St. Paul Civic Center for the MN School Board Assn. Conference. 18. There are two different grants which YC can apply to for the purpose of writing & producing "skits" which address the youth issue offemale self-esteem One is the MN Arts Council. The other is MN Women's Fund. Jeanne needs volunteers to help write the grants. 19. Susan Burm is interested in pursuing the December Mindworks topic.

December 22, 1993 Todd Hoffman Park Board 690 Coulter DR Chanhassen, MN 55317 Todd Hoffman, Park Board, To Whom It may Concern, After living in our new residence for just over one year we continue to be enthusiastic about our new home, Chanhassen, and the "possibilities" of our neighborhood parks. We live just across from the Power Hill Park. This was a key ingredient in our decision to move to Chanhassen and to this location. One concern we have is that, to our knowledge, there is nothing planned for kids as they mature. At least from my perspective, a basketball court is desperately needed. e I have 4 boys aged 6 to 11 and there are numerous other kids in the neighborhood, both boys and girls, who would take advantage of basketball facilities. These are also facilities which, I'm sure, would be shared with the adult population base. We have to have a vision in our planning such that the necessary facilities will be available when the age base demands it. I.E. by the time the budget permits a toddler play area, many of the kids will have outgrown the need. The toddler age bracket is one which is also easier to satisfy right in ones own back yard more readily. Our neighborhood has a more difficult challenge in satisfying basketball facilities than normal. Being on a large hill with mostly sloping driveways prevents safe use of personal basketball facilities (balls in street). I have been approached by several neighbors who suggested donating a portion of neighborhood adjoining property and sharing the cost of installing a basketball court. While initially this seemed like a good solution I have three primary objections. 1) Liability. In today's "suit happy environment" it would place an unacceptable burden on the property owners. From my perspective, this alone eliminates this as an option for consideration. e 2) Cost. Plans for park facilities were a major selling point when we purchased our new home. It would be unfair to have RECEl YED DEe 2? 1993 err'( OF CHN1HASSEi\j to incur the additional cost burden when these facilities should already be in the plans and are represented in the property tax base. . 3) Space. The size of lots are becoming more and more limited. To help control this as a society, we need to be more dependent on community facilities. This was planned into our neighborhood, now we need appropriate actions taken to make it happen. The Power Hill park has a perfect area for basketball facilities. This is where we need the Park Board to take action in a leadership role. If cost is a concern in the short term, I'd suggest installing poles and baskets on the existing parking lot as an interim solution. We need basketball facilities much more than we need a parking lot at the current time i.e. the hill has been blocked for sliding purposes (WhiCh is another cause of disappointment). I'd personally even be willing to lead a neighborhood effort to install them if that will help reduce labor costs. If we are to give our kids a fair chance, keep them occupied, and therefore productive and out of trouble we must provide facilities such as this. It is a much preferred solution to incurring significant cost of controlling crime and rehabilitation type programs. I speak from experience, we moved from Brooklyn Park and this type of environment. e Please confirm receipt of this letter, inform us of planned directions, and let us know how we can participate to insure badly needed basketball facilities are installed at Power Hill Park. Sincerely, Ed & Mary Kraft 8711 Flamingo DR Chanhassen, MN 55317 Phone: Home (612) 368-3375 Work (612) 828-7841 PS: We are disappointed that the Power Hill Park planning process seems to have been placed on hold. After attending a Park Board meeting on it last winter and participating in a neighborhood survey, we have heard nothing. e e..:;overnment Edition # ASpen'S e Members For Board Dear Government Board or Council Member, Here's a resolution I know you can keep in 1994: Build a better relationship with your administrator. I'll let Govern- ment Board Member Joe Good tell you how to get the ball rolling... 1) Don't keep the administrator in the dark about your expectations. "If the administrator knows what you want him or her to do, the relationship will succeed," says Good (Boca Raton, FL). "If the administrator needs to improve commu- nity relations or follow up with board members on the impact of a decision, be sure to tell him or her." 2) Communicate board mem- bers' problems or concerns to the administrator. "Doing this in advance of a meeting lets us decide whether the matter in question is a management or policy January 1994 issue," he says. "If the issue is one of day- to-day management, we can stay out of the administrator's way." 3) Be an extra pair of eyes and ears for the adminis- trator. "Commu- nication is a two- way street," says Good. "While I expect the admin- istrator to keep me informed on issues, I also tell him things I hear about our govern- ment body on the street and at public meetings. Suggestions and ideas from community members can help any organi- zation improve its services or programs." Board Member Joe Good A board member asks: "Can I disagree with my administrator?" e Board Member Question: <<My administrator and I often don't see eye to eye," says a New York board member. "She'll recommend action on an issue, but I'll want to go in a very different direction. "I've voted against her recommen- dations many times, but have kept my comments to myself. I still feel the tension between us in the board room. Should I tell the administrator how I feel?" My Answer: Yes! If you're aware of a strain in your relationship with the administrator, the ch,H1nces are that he or she feels it too. Public Board Advising administrators and boards in the US and Canada Member Dennis Hoffbuhr tells me that not bringing things out in the open only com- pounds the problem... "When the trust between a board member and the administrator breaks down--and they don't address it--watch out," says Hoffbuhr (Medford, OR). From my experience as a board member, I know that many board members make mental lists of the ways the administrator annoys them. Then they nurse these until they boil over in the board room. "Administrators aren't hired on the basis of their ability to read minds," adds Hoffbuhr. "So board members should express their feelings and tell the adminis- trator when they find an issue especially upsetting. After all, it's our duty to get problems out in tbe open rather than hold grudges simply because we disagree." e Follow these tips to become an outstanding board president! Auention: Aspiring board presi- dents, or board presidents wbo want to improve, this one's for you! I spoke recently to the president of a government board in the Southeast who shared his secrets on how to excel in the jol? Here's what he has to say... 1) Know tbe board president's role. "As I see it, these responsibilities are to understand each issue the board faces, manage meetings and act as a conduit between the board and administrator," he says. "Once these responsibilities become second nature to you-by watching other astute board presidents and brushing up on the skills yourself-you're ready to lead the organization. " 2) Keep your finger on the pulse o/the community. "Before being elected board president, I learned every- thing I could about the public we setve. For example, since we're a parks and recreation district, I. attended the local nature center and homeowner's association meetings to find out what their recreational needs were. These meetings-plus long talks with our administrator-educated me about what we had to do to provide the programs and setvices the community wanted. " 3) Take advantage o/training opportunities. "Even the board president can't know it all," he tells me. "This is why it's essential for all incoming and current presidents to attend workshops and train- ing sessions. These have been a big help to me. I've learned a wealth of information about board leadership techniques, like consensus building and working with others. Workshops also let you network with other board or council presidents who face many of the same problems you do." e A word about serving as a committee chairperson I just finished my term as a commit- tee chairperson on a board I setve. Here arefive must-foUow steps I'd "ke every commiUee leader to consider... . Decide if you work better in a group or on your own.

The ~tt -Nature' conservancy MINNESOTA CHAPTER December 20, 1993 City of Chllnhll!lSen Attn: Todd Hoffman Parks and Recreation Director P.O. Box 690 Coulter Drive Cbanhassen, MN 55317 Dear Mr. Hoffman: I received a call from Mr. Larry Scbroers regarding approximately 200 acres of river bluff land. He mentioned that several area residents are interested in preserving the land and was inquiring about conservation options for the land. e The Nature Conservancy is a nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to preserving biological diversity. In the past the Conservancy has purchased small tracts of land which protect rare plants or animals or important natural communities. Currently we are in the process of developing strategies for landscape-scale conservation so that we can better preserve whole habitats of plant and animal species and communities. While the bluffland in Cbanhassen is definitely worthy of preservation, it does not fall within the scope of the land protection projects that the Conservancy is currently undertaking. I can recommend several other individuals and groups for you to contact that I think will be helpful. First Scott Wallace is an individual in Eden Prairie who has formed a citizens group interested in preserving local lands. His phone number is 942-9404. The Eden Prairie Land Trust is a second organization to contact. This land trust is a citizen-based group dedicated to preservation of loca1lands. The phone number is 934-9094. A third option is to contact Friends of the Minnesota Valley (p.O. Box 20244; Bloomington, MN 55420), a citizens group devoted to conserving the natural and cultural resources of the Minnesota Valley. We most often recommend working through local governments, but you could also contact the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources or the United States Fish and Wildlife Service at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge (3815 East 80th Street; Bloomington, MN 55425-16(0). If you have any questions, please feel free to call. I sincerely hope that these other contacts will be helpful in your attempts to preserve lands in Cbanhassen.

I know this is a bittersweet time for you. You have gained the respect of many, including me, during your tenure as a commissioner. Hopefully the fond memories of all your accomplishments and contributions will suppress the pain of leaving behind a job you enjoyed. You provided an even-keel for the commission .during e a time of transition and growth and for that you deserve the recognition bestowed upon you by the mayor and city council.

In the same motion, the Park and Open Space Commission was ordered to recom- mend six to eight sites. of which council will select two or three for designation. A Nature Conservation Area (NCA) is defined by the commission as "city owned and/or controlled lands which are. or could be. essentially natural and would conserve flora and fauna. Such areas are to be established in recognition of the benefits of preserving natural open space for present and future generations." ~ According to the plan, a survey com- pleted in March of 1992 identified 255 parcels as potential NCA sites. The list includes 67 wetlands. 64 park and open space areas. 94 city-controlled parcels- including public buildings-and 30 tax- forfeit properties. Council member Andrea Ahrens and Mayor Skip Johnson explained that most of the 255 sites are not even being consid- ered for NCA status. but could not say exactly how many were. City Attorney Curt Pearson added an NCA is for passive use and anything now under active use is probably unsuitable. The plan states that the City of Mound will be responsible for the administration and maintenance of NCAs. and also sug- gests> other options for preserving open spaces. These options include: adoption of parcels by neighborhood groups; estab- lishing conservation easements on parcels sold to abutting property owners; and deeding various sites to organizations such as the Nature Conservancy. Teal Pointe housing development was back on council's agenda. The comment period for the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) expired last week and council now has to decide what to do next. Teal Pointe is a In south oun tween Cook's Bay and Phelp's Bay. An EAW was ordered by the city council in February as a condition for pre- liminary plat approvals for a new single- family home project proposed by Teal pointe Development Company. City Planner Mark Koegler first explained council could make one of three decisions. They could order an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). require modification of project plans. or allow the development to continue as planned. He then read a summary of the comments received along with responses prepared by staff. Comments were received from the Metropolitan Council. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the Department of Natural Resources, Thomas E. Casey and John c. Edewaard. Lots I, 2 and 3 in the 9.10t development are considered to be the most sensitive. Council has been split on whether to allow these three houses to be built. Before council could make a decision, Casey explained he had submitted 37 pages of comments and council hadn't even S>een them. He asked council to post- pone its decision.until members had thor- oughly reviewed the comments. pearson acknowledged that Casey had a case and council tabled the decision until the next meeting. Staff was ordered to prepare a package of documents for each councilmember. In other action. a public hearing was set for Tuesday, SepL 14 to consider the pre- limirUuy and final plat request for Dakota Rail 2nd Addition; and council approved the final draft and summary of the rental housing ordinance approved for prepara- tion at the last meeting. Councilmember. Ahrens, who was absent from that meet- ing, voted against the ordinance: that we need to provide less than 700 c. trailer spaces," said Carlson, urging COUi, cil to get behind the effort. - Carlson said that any proposals for changing the LMCD's operations or its funding weren't likely to be considered seriously by the State Legislature until the Victoria hires publ to replace striking By DIaDe DuBay The resignation of one of Victoria's twO striking public works employees early this summer has led to some restructuring of the city's tiny public works department. Rather than replace Keith McKinley, who resigned in June. the Victoria City Council decided at its Aug. 5 meeting to hire an additional public works.supervisor. The new supervisor and the current one will supervise two public works employ- ees and any independent contractors hired by the city. Though he voted in favor of the hiring. Councilmember Dale Lindgren had some reservations about it. "I wish the timing was better," he said. Councilmember Tom Walsh cast the single dissenting vote, but acknowledged the efforts of the personnel committee in considering the matter. Though he said be agreed that the current public works supervisor needed additional laborers, "..J cannot justify the expense of the salaries," he said. The city's public works employees went on strike last March over wage issues. Council also took action on another Personnel matter, voting ~o include the administrator's position in the city's pay equity plan. at a salary range of $45,203 to $57,692. "This action is simply complying with the law,' said Mayor Dale Palmatier. "This is the way these cities must act. If we take some other course of action, we're gonna get our knuckles rapped." Councilmember John Bigalke said the job classifications and job descriptions in the plan were extremely good ways of communicating to employees what is expected of them, and he also expressed confidence in the personnel committee.

To respond to growing needs, the Metropolitan Council proposes to reinvigorate the area's park system by Investing about $29 million during the , 994-95 biennium. The funds are drawn from two sources: state appropriations and regional bonds. State funds, the primary source of capital funding, have fallen sharply since 1988. State bonds and grants fell from an average of $10 milUon annually from 1977 to 1987 to about $3 million since 1988 (see chart). Yet demand continues to rise. Visits have tripled in the last 13 years, according to estimates (see chart). The parks had 16.4 million visitors in 1992, twice the visits to Minnesota state parks that year (see chart). This rapid increase reflects the importance of parks in an urban setting, and the overall quality of life. New funds are proposed for develop- ing two new facilities:.Lake Minnetonka Regional Park (Hennepin County) and Burlington Northern Regional Trail ;';', ".,':, ".,m fsti'mated ~ ":C.," :"<<" .... .. . , ,,;,,"""'''',-'''-- -- (Ramsey County); a new picnic paVl1ion at Como Park; repairs to Coon Rapids Dam; replacing a beach house at Bush Lake; replacing worn-out facilities in Minnehaha Park and Lake Harriet; and buying land from owners within several parks. In February the Council will present the legislature with a biennium request of $14.8 million in state bond authority to continue acquisition and development. (The request recognizes that park users also come from outside the metro area.) The Council will supplement that by issuing a total of $13.4 million in regional bonds for 1994-95. To address wear and tear on older parks, 55 percent of the funds Wl11 go for redevelopment. About 29 percent will go to develop acquired sites and 16 percent is for new acquisitions. 'The Council can issue the bonds because it will reduce its park bonding debt from $40 million (the maximum allowed by state law) to $15 million by paying off $25 million in March. To make full use of its parks bonding capacity, the Council plans to issue about $6.7 million in regional bonds each year. These short-term, five-year bonds will provide a steady source of funding for future improvements. The Council estimate~ that an investment ofe about $29 million in regional parks in 1994-95 would produce an economic impact of $56 million and would create 734 jobs. The Council will hold a public hearing Feb. 1 0 on improvements proposed for regional parks. (See "Fuwre parks projects," page 3).

FAX (612) 937-5739 January 20, 1994 Mr. Conrad Fiskness Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District c/o Barr Engineering Suite 300 8300 Norman Center Drive Minneapolis, MN 55437 Dear Conrad: e I have had several conversations with Bob Obenneyer and Ray Haik concerning acquisition of a 5 acre parcel of land owned by Steve Rowland, located at the south end of Bluff Creek in Chanhassen. Todd Hoffman, our Director of Parks and Recreation, and I have expressed an interest in the city acquiring the land outright or preferably in cooperation with the district. I believe' our goals in this area are similar. The land contains a portion of the creek that has a unique. pristine ecosystem that warrants public protection in its own right It is also part of the planned Bluff Creek Corridor project that we anticipate working on with the district and other agencies. When I first spoke to Bob. I had assumed that we would negotiate for the land in partnership with the District, but Ray informed me that you already have a purchase agreement in place. Pending action by the Chanhassen City Council, I believe it is likely that the city would participate financially in the acquisition. Based upon my conversation with Bob, we had anticipated a 25% Districtl75% City cost share.;< e It is clear that some sOrt of joint action on this parcel would further our common goal of protecting this resource. It is my understanding that the district is willing to consider assuming the full cost in the expectation that you and the city would ultimately undertake a cooperative Bluff Creek project I am proposing that this cooperation start immediately by supporting a joint acquisition strategy. The land in question i!,adjacent to a city park and has some current drainage and erosion issues. We would like to start addressing these matters as soon as time and funding permit I am proposing two alternatives to the City Council, but you may think of others. The flIst is based upon the purchase agreement Ray negotiated which, as I understand it, would pay $25,000 down and the balance over the following two years. We would consider being responsible for the remaining $50,000 payments and interest. In this case, since we would -;1) t:1) Mr. Conrad Fiskness January 20, 1994 Page 2 e be paying most of the acquisition cost, I would assume that we would hold fee title to the land with the district retaining some sort of easement or covenant to assure that it is put to proper use. The second would be a 50/50 split with the land held jointly in some sort of partnership arrangement We would anticipate taking the city's share of the funding from our Surface Water Utility and Park Acquisition funds. I am asking that the Board consider these proposals and am asking the Oty Council to do the same. The Council will review this proposal at their January 24 meeting. I fully expect that whatever option is selected, our joint efforts to preserve this land will be one of the first steps to implementing a comprehensive plan to protect the entire creek corridor.

Recreatiun Supervisor ~/J....- January 21, 1994 TO: FROM: SUBJ: Blockbuster Bowling Party The Blockbuster Bowling Party has been one of our department's more consistently growing programs over the past couple of years. The proglfBm was fIrst offered in December of 1990, and registered 28 children. This year 77 children registered. e Our maximum number to offer this program was 40, and this number was reached at least two weeks before the party. This prompted the maximum number to be increased to 60. The popularity was overwhelming and eventually?7 kids registered. The increased registrations put a bit of a strain on food :preparation. Having that many kids, the kitchen staff couldn't keep up. Discussion with Rick Sipprell, manager of Chanhassen Bowl, brought forward suggestions for next year. Suggestions were made to have a meal like sloppy joes and chips which would cut preparation time down. Alternative menu items will be explored. A change will be made with the bowling portion of the party. Instead of offering 3 games of bowling, it will be switched to a time limit. For example; a person registered can bowl as many games as possible in the time allowed. This change waS prompted because some of the bowling groups were luq.kY to get two games cOIl1pl~~. 'fhisqJ:1ange .will allow the program to be completed on time. Having an adult chaperon with evetygtoup is the only way to go. The chaperon kept score, pushed the reset button to clear the pins, and kept the kids moving when it was their turn to bowl. The program can max at 80 again next year, but changes will be made in regard to food preparation. The Blockbuster Bowling Party has become quite popular and will continue again next year. e PROGRAM NAME: B j/)c/)'bu51e r BowhYlj Ar~_ su F - @) SP e QUARTERS PROGRAM IS OFFERED: 77 Participants in each class Length of class (in weeks) Length of class (minutes) & . :50 Class fee/session Meetings/W eek REVENUE 77 # of participants x ~.so fee/class x I # of classes/yr. = seo I S-O EXPENSES A.
