. Comprehensive mapping effort launched.
The 18" x 24" city base map in your packet depicts in concept the ideas brought forth on the
11th of January. A key is attached to the map for your reference. This mapping tool was drafted
from memory and will require additional refinement at our next meeting. A trail map overlay
is also provided allowing commissions to envision potential linkages in our community. (This
document is also included in the updating process.) The time line for completing this effort
remains in tact from last year and will be utilized as work progresses. Next week's meeting is
again set aside for open minded discussion of the future of parks, trails, and recreation.
I am suggesting that the remaining work sessions/meetings be scheduled as follows:
Task 1:
Review goals and policies: Completed on April 13, 1993. See attached
"before" and "after" examples.
Task 2:
Facility Inventory: First draft of changes will be presented to the
commission at the March 8, 1994 work session.

I have also asked Ken Draa, Director of Parks and Recreation in Eagan,
if he would be willing to host a tour of Eagan's park and trail system on
this day. A picture is truly worth a thousand words. Visiting a
community approximately 6-8 years ahead of Chanhassen in general
development will prove beneficial. Ken is willing to discuss not only their
success stories, but also what he wishes they would have done morelless
of as the city developed. I think you would find the trip enlightening.

Using Minnewashta Heights Park for Soccer Practice
Chuck Rienstra, the Vice President of Operations for Tonka United Soccer Association will be
in attendance at your meeting next Tuesday. Mr. Rienstra would like to hold practice 4 days a
week at Minnewashta Heights Park. Tonka United acknowledges that maintenance will be
involved with the field and stated their club would paint and stripe the field as needed, leaving
only grass mowing to park maintenance.
Mr. Rienstra was informed of the Park and Recreation Commission's policy of not scheduling
organized activities and practices in neighborhood parks. However, Mr. Rienstra does live near
the park and feels the park is currently under utilized.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
This site lies within the neighborhood park service areas of Cathcart Park and Minnewashta Heights
Park. However, Highway 7 is a significant barrier to access of these parks by future residents. The
proposed "Kings Road" Park would provide a better option for neighborhood park services. The
Minnewashta Landings property has not been considered for park purposes by any commission, council,
or staff member that I am aware, primarily due to its extreme northerly location on the Parkway.

Page 2
COMPREHENSIVE TRAIL PLAN:
The Comprehensive Trail Plan identifies the Minnewashta Parkway trail which lies along the
westerly border of the site in this location. The trail is on the west side of the Parkway, opposite
the site. A trail corridor along Highway 7 has been identified as an addition to the trail plan and
can be accommodated within the future expanded right-of-way of the highway.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend the City Council accept
full park and trail dedication fees in lieu of parkland dedication or trail development. Said fees
to be collected per City Code, Chapter 18, Section l8-79(P):
One-third of the park and trail cash contribution shall be paid contemporaneously with
the city's approval of the subdivision. The balance, calculated as follows, shall be paid
at the time building permits are issued: rate in effect when a building permit is issued
minus the amount previously paid.

Resolution of Support; Hennepin County Golf Course
The attached letter of inquiry was received from Dick Wilson, Director of Hopkins-Minnetonka
Recreation Department on January 25, 1994. The letter explains the desire of the City of
Minnetonka to construct a golf course on the former Oak Terrace Nursing Home property. The
letter concludes by asking for your support of the Glen Lake Task Force recommendation to
construct a public golf course and other complementary facilities on the Glen Lake property.
ACTION
The Commission can either approve this resolution or choose not to.

Dear Todd:
The City of Minnetonka is asking for your support, and that of your Park and Recreation
Board, on behalf of a possible golf course to be constructed on Hennepin County owned land
in the City of Minnetonka. Specifically, the land is located east of Eden Prairie Road
and north of County Road 62 (Crosstown).
The property is the area formerly occupied by the Oak Terrace Nursing Home. The majority
of the buildings on the property have been demolished. It also abuts the Hennepin County
Home School, a correctional facility for juvenile criminals.
A Glen Lake Task Force was created by the Hennepin County Board in Fall, 1991 to review
the long term utilization of this County Glen Lake Property. The future use of the
property was seen as an issue since it was learned that the State would no longer be
leasing the Oak Terrace Nursing Home as a State facility.
The Glen Lake Task Force has looked at a variety of information pertaining to future needs~
that could be accommodated on the property. These have included various alternative golf ~
course designs that would provide public recreational benefits. Additionally, the Task
Force has reviewed a housing study for the Hennepin County Home School which has examined
future space and program needs of that facility.
The Task Force reviewed three golf course concepts. These included a nine hole golf
course on the western portion of the property, an 18 hole course utilizing the east and
west portions of the property, and an 18 hole course utilizing the east and west sides of
the property in addition to 10.8 acres of county Home School "designated" property. The
Task Force agreed that the western and southern (Eden Prairie) portions of the property
should be utilized for golf course purposes, however, not all felt that utilization of the
eastern portion of the property was appropriate.
The Minnetonka City Council has adopted the attached resolution which endorses the basic
Task Force recommendation. This resolution has been forwarded to the County Board for
their deliberation of the Task Force recommendation. If the County Board adopts the
recommendation, significant work will need to be done in examining design, administration,
and financial aspects of a golf course. All of this information will need to be reviewed
before further recommendations and decisions are made by the appropriate bodies. The
adoption of this resolution does not bind cities to owning or operating a golf course. It
may be that Hennepin Parks would be the appropriate operating agency.
The Hennepin County Ways and Means Committee will consider this proposal at their February
10, 1994 meeting. Their recommendation will be referred to the Hennepin County Board.
May we have your help by a resolution of support from your Park and Recreation Board? A
sample is attached. Our Hennepin County residents will truly benefit by having this
public recreation facility.
Sincerely,
RECEIVED

RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION PERTAINING TO THE FUTURE USE OF THE GLEN LAKE HENNEPIN COUNTY PROPERTY
BE IT RESOLVED by the Park and Recreation Board of the City of
Minnesota, as follows:
1.01
Section 1. Backaround
1.02
1. 03
1.04
1.05
1.06
1.07
1.08
On July 22, 1991, the Minnetonka City Council adopted a resolution
requesting that the Hennepin County Board appoint a Task Force to
make recommendations to the County Budgeting Task Force and County
Board regarding the long term utilization of the County Glen Lake
property.
In August, 1991, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners adopted
a resolution establishing the Glen Lake Task Force and appointed
the following members: two County Commissioners, elected officials
from the cities of Minnetonka and Eden Prairie, appropriate
Hennepin County staff members, and two members of the Gatewood-Glen
Lake Homeowners Association.
The Task Force established two sub-committees to examine the reuse
of the buildings and grounds of the Oak Terrace Nursing Home and
to review the possibility for a golf course.
The Hennepin County Home School Land Use Master Plan was completed
in Spring, 1993 and concluded that some expansion of the Home
School building and programs would be needed in the future and that
a buffer be established around the Home School portion of the
property.
On July 2, 1993, the Task Force concluded that a golf course should
be considered for a portion of the Glen Lake property and directed
staff to explore alternative golf course concepts.
On December 20, 1993, the Glen Lake Task Force discussed various
golf course options and supported the idea of a golf course on all
or part of the Glen Lake property not utilized by the Hennepin
County Home School which respected the rights of the Home School
clients.
On January 10, 1994 the Minnetonka City Council endorsed the Glen
Lake Task Force recommendation that the concept of a public golf
course and other complementary uses such as a driving range are
appropriate and compatible uses around and adjacent to the Hennepin
Ccunty Home School on the Glen Lake property.
On January 13, 1994, the Hopkins-Minnetonka Recreation Board voted
to add its support to the Glen Lake Task Force's recommendation.
If the concept of a golf course is studied further, additional information
including design, financial aspects, and administration should be prepared
for review by the Task Force, cities of Minnetonka and Eden Prairie,
Hennepin County Budgeting task Force, and the Hennepin County Board.
Section 2. Board Action
The Park and Recreation Board endorses
the Glen Lake Task Force recommendation that the concept of a
public golf course and other complementary uses such as a driving
range are appropriate and compatible uses around and adjacent to
the Hennepin County Home School on the Glen Lake property.
Adopted by the Park and Recreation Board of the City of
Minnesota, on this day of , 1994.

The Chanhassen Senior Center has almost completed winter with monthly visits as follows:
December - 373; January - 452; and February (so far) - 257.
A wide variety of activities have occurred since the ftrst of the year and we have enjoyed some
new programs and senior center trips. Over 35 people participated in the Defensive Driving
Course, a cribbage tournament was held, Mens and Womens Clubs continue to grow, and trips
were taken to Bali Hi and Bell Museum.
Other activities that took place were movie day, canning class, legal aid, tax assistance, crafts,
a Scandinavian Night with supper and entertainment.
The Senior Center is also being used by a Girl Scout Troop, the Quilt-a-Month Club, Knights
of Columbus, and Park and Recreation Department youth craft classes, and Birthday Bonanzas.

CA~TALIMPROVEMENT
PROJECT (CIP) INFORMATION
The Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission prepared recommendations for
the 1994 Park Acquisition and Development CIP in August of 1993. The CIP was
then presented to the city council for approval as a part of the 1994 Budget. The
1994 CIP contains $120,600 to fund the park improvements listed below.
Reserves are maintained in the following categories: General ($100,000), land
purchase west of Lake Minnewashta ($150,000), Chanhassen Elementary
School/City Center Park play equipment ($8,000), Highway 101 trail ($15,000),
and site furnishing for the new elementary school ($15,000).
All monies accumulated in this fund are derived from park and trail dedication
fees assessed against new construction. At present, no general tax dollars are
invested in "hard" capital for improving the city's park and trail systems.
SCHOOL DISTRICT
The City of Chanhassen is unique in that it has two school districts within its city
boundaries. Having Chaska School District 112 and Minnetonka School District
276 located in Chanhassen creates unique opportunities for social programming
and also for bringing residents together from both school districts.

THE PRACTICUM PROGRAM
It is the belief of the staff of the Chanhassen Park and Recreation Department that
the practicum experience for each student should be comprehensive, including all
aspects of parks and recreation, and to gear to each individual student's needs and
areas of interest, Le. programming, park maintenance, administration. We believe
this type of approach will not only benefit the student in terms of practical
education, but also aid our department by continuing to provide the necessary
services to the community.

Thanks for your recent letter regarding Deputy Koehler's idea of establishing a bicycle patrol

I am anxious to review this with Deputy Koehler. Thanks for your note.

Dear Scott,
e
Soon, Deputy Koehler will be presenting you with information regarding a bicycle
patrol concept. I have reviewed the information he has gathered thus far, and I
am impressed with it. I praise Deputy Koehler for the thought and research he has
done in this matter.
Clearly, the bicycle patrol idea is yet another representative of the innovative
ideas that Chanhassen Public Safety has historically sought and utilized. I think
the most salient benefits will be that of the interaction with citizens, and time
spent in neighborhoods. Deputy Koehler and I have discussed education v. enforce-
ment issues specific to bicycle patrol, and the effects on children v. adults.
Deputy Koehler has also shared many of his educational ideas with me.
I think the program, run in conjunction with Deputy Koehler and Chanhassen Community
Service Officers, can be an effective and feasible public relations tool to use
in the community.

Dear Ms. Wick:
e
,This narrative is being prepared in response to your inquiry regarding the replacement for
LAWCON funded park land in Chanhassen's Lake Ann Park.
The acquisition of approximately 4.1 acres of the park is necessitated by the need to construct
an east/west frontage road and ultimately a portion of the upgrade to Hwy. 5, across the property.
The extent of the action is described in the Environmental Assessment document that has been
prepared. I am attaching Chapter 8 of the study, which details the 4f/6f evaluation, for your
review. The 4.1 acre loss is the worst case scenario. At the time of writing, the City Council
has yet to take fmal action on the EA. The land taking in the southwest comer of the park is
increased due to the need to off-set the adjacent intersection with Audubon Road to maintain
traffic safety. The Council may delete the intersection which would decrease the taking
somewhat.
The road in question has been a part of Chanhassen. s adopted Comprehensive Plan for many
years. The ultimate intent is to provide a local street extension of our main strp.et so that many
trips to our downtown, parks, schools and community facilities can be completed without having
to use a four-lane highway. The road is designed as a parkway with low design speeds,
environmental protection, and landscaping. It will also contain a major east/west, grade-separated
trail link that will serve the community.
e
.
Ms. Linda Wick
January 21, 1994

Relative to Lake Ann Park specifically, the road and trail are essential to providing safe access.
The only street entrance to the park is via a curb-cut directly onto Highway 5. Hwy. 5 is a major
route for suburban commuting and outstate trips. Traffic volumes are high and growing rapidly
as Chanhassen and surrounding commpnities develop. Vehicles are moving at high speeds and
visibility/reaction time is not adequate. There have been a number of close calls and the city
strongly believes this road is essential for safe and efficient utilization of what has been
developed as our most important recreational facility. At this time there is no pedestrian or bike
trail access to the park from most of the city, and walking or biking on Hwy. 5 itself is not a
prudent option. The proposed road will remedy both situations.
You asked for an analysis of alternatives to the proposed action. Short of the "do nothing"
option, there are none. Lake Ann itself, the surrounding land ownership and development pattern
make it impossible to provide access by any other means. Even if it was possible, relocating the
park's entrance would cause major disruption to its recreational facilities. The road alignment
is designed to minimize disruption to the park by its placement near Hwy. 5. More northerly
alignments would take additional property.
e
The city is proposing to substitute approximately 20 acres of land we have recently acquired.
The site is located approximately 4500 feet west of Lake Ann at the southeast comer. of the
intersection of Hwy. 5 and Galpin Boulevard. It is part of a 40 acre parcel we acquired to
facilitate the construction of a new elementary school. .
At your request, I am including a copy of the appraisal we had completed for the school site.
I also want to make it very clear that the school only needed 20 acres to accommodate their
facilities. However, the city has entered into a cooperative arrangement with the school district
to maximize the cross-utilization of recreational facilities at the site. For example, the school
only needs one ball field and play area for their programs. The city will be building three
additional basebalVsoccer fields, four tennis courts and a hockey rink to meet the recreational
needs of our residents. Weare also building a second gymnasium, locker rooms and meeting
rooms to meet our needs. The cooperative arrangement allows for tremendous efficiency for this
public investment I am attaching a set of plans for your review.
In summary, I believe we have demonstrated that the substitution is being done in good faith and
far exceeds your requirements in terms of acreage value. In trade off for the loss of a few acres,
Lake Ann Park becomes much safer to use for people arriving by car, foot or bike. The city and
school district have also created another major recreational facility in a cost effective manner.
We apologize if there was some failure in following procedural guidelines relative to the

Mr. Ed Battani

Chanhassen. MN 55317
Dear Mr. Battani:
Thank you for your inquiry into the possibility of installing a fishing pier at North Lotus Lake.
I received your letter on the 25th of January. !nUs enabled me to present it to the Park and
Recreation Conunission on the evening of the 25th as an administrative presentation. The
conunission was disturbed by the news that snowmobiles were traversing the park and in doing
so. destroying natural vegetation. The city take action to deter this travel with signage and
barricades.
In regard to the fishing pier. unfortunately the conunission is unable to provide a pier. In
discussing the request, the number one barrier is the remoteness of the site and the inability to
provide equal access for all. Access through backyards or from the current parking lot which lies
over 800 feet to the north is not acceptable. Furthermore. to gain access to open water it would
be necessary to negotiate 190 feet of wetland vegetation with one of a variety of floating
boardwalks. The remoteness of the recreational facility which would result under this
circumstances further precludes the pier from consideration.
I am sorry the news about a fishing pier is not more cheery. Please do not hesitate to contact
me if you have questions in this regard or if you have any other ideas for North Lotus Lake Park.
Sincerely,
---;:/;/ /9~

YOUTH COMMISSION
CALLING TREE
.
1994
There will be occasions during the year when we have to cancel or call a meeting or
special event. Those are the times the Calling Tree will be in effect. This is how it's done.
You must call the person who is listed below your name on the Calling Tree. You must
somehow get word to them by talking to them directly on the phone or by leaving a
message on an answering machine. This is expected of Youth Commission members.
If you are unable to talk directly to the designated individual on the phone, you must leave
a message for them but then also call the next person on the list. Continue to call until you
find someone home.
If your name is at the bottom of the list, you must call the name at the top of the list to
inform them that the Calling Tree has been completed.

Minutes Youth Commission Meeting
December 6, 1993, Jonathan Elementary
.
The meeting was brought to order at 7: 15 pm by Vice-Chairperson Phyllis Lindstrand.
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 DeB ower, 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 eMS, perhaps thru Advisor/Advisee
or AA groups. (Jeanne will ask Mrs. Borner.) Phyllis is willing to help with this.
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
"
-:r
.
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.
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
Fann & 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 Dec 18 Target
"Communitree Project". Jeanne will 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 brainstonned 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.)
9. Lee Ann & Natalie still plan to go to the Underground at Shepherd of the Hills
Church. They will 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 to 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.
14. "Hero" articles. Briefarticle should be written up for the newspapers asking
community people to identify individuals who demonstrate the eight community values.
Lori \\'ellens 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 school library 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.
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
1v1N 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 1v1N Arts
Council. The other is MN Women's Fund. Jeanne needs volunteers to help write the
grants.
19. Susan Hurm is interested in pursuing the December Mindworks topic. "'What's the
best thing about your neighborhood or community? Do you think your neighborhood or
community serves young people well? How could your neighborhood or community
improve life for children & teens? How shall we proceed? 'When?
20. The Minnesota Father of the Year Essay Contest discussion was tabled.
Carly Sorscher made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Susan Hurm seconded the motion.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 pm.
Special thanks to Phyllis for the holiday treats. They were great!

City of Chaska
Department of Parks, Recreation and Art
February 14, 1994
Mr. Todd Hoffman
Chanhassen Park & Recreation Department
690 Coulter Drive
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Todd,
In our meeting with School District #112 and city
representatives and mayors an issue was raised by school
administration as to an appropriate process for scheduling
school space outside of school hours and needs.
It was a City of Chaska offer to the School District
to allow the school use of Pioneer Park for our ability to
schedule new high school space during non-school times.
Much of the programming on the school space would be
for middle age baseball and soccer which is currently offered
on a school wide basis. We are a~reeable to working with
the City of Chanhassen in schedul1ng these components in
addition to the two smaller softball fields in a manner
which is convenient to all parties.
I feel that the existing arrangement of each City
providing leisure services has served the total area quite
well.
I agree with your comment at this meeting that
the process is working but that future demands by our
residents may necessitate change. It is our hope that we
deal with any necessary change at the appropriate time
rather than trying to envision -or deal with "possible"
problems now.
The City of Chaska has received a request from
School District #112 to accommodate co-curricular programs on
City of Chaska space that serve youth from throughout the
district boundaries including Carver and victoria.

1661 PARK RIDGE DRIVE, CHASKA, MINNESOTA 55318 / 612-448-5633
e
Their spring 1994 request includes:
1. Varsity baseball at Athletic Park
2. J.V. baseball at Lion's Park
3. 9th 9rade baseball at Lion's Park
4. Tenn~s at Lion's Park
There are also good possibilities of softball and
soccer school programs using municipal parks - in addition
to possible intramural program expansion. The Chaska Par
30 Golf Course is also made available at a reduced rate for
all Middle Scheel studen~s.
The point of this letter is to demonstrate that our
past actions in school areas and others such as youth
g~nastics and adult volleyball have benefited both of our
c~ties and all of our residents. Your programs have
likewise benefited many outside of your city's boundaries.
It is this philosophy of asking how we can best serve
our residents that has benefited all School District #112
residents.
It is our hope in the City of Chaska that we can
continue this approach with the City of Chanhassen. The
alterative seems to be a hodge podge of agreements which
City Council and Commissions will interpret as to who is
getting the better deal.
I'd be interested in your response regarding the
intent of this letter especially as it relates to the new
high school outdoor athletic area.
Thanks.

Final Revisions to the Tree Preservation Ordinance
At the January 31, 1994, Tree Board meeting, we performed a fmal review of the proposed
tree ordinance. Following are the changes and corrections that were made as a result of the
meeting. Please note that I have removed all the strikeouts and underlines from the version
dated 1/21/94.
p.1, (1)
added: damaged and diseased trees to survey requirement. This should reduce
the chances for developers coming to the City after the fact claiming that a tree
was dead or dying and therefore needed to be removed.
p.2, 1st para. added language that the intent of the canopy coverage is to provide this
coverage at complete development of the site.
p.3, example corrected typo. The minimum canopy coverage would be 46 percent.
p.3, added
(9) trees shall be from certified nursery stock as defmed and controlled by
Minnesota Statutes sections 18.44 through 18.61. the Plant Pest Act.
p.4, (3)
deleted last sentence: "To the extent possible. the pad and deck sites shall be
positioned to avoid impacting substantial trees unless there is no feasible
alternative. " This sentence was vague and did not provide additional guidance.
p.5, (4)h.
added "within PUDs" and "The setback variations shall be established and
recorded as part of the plat approval." This requires that the developer make
determinations of setbacks as part of the development. The City will not have
to record these deviations as building permits come in for approval and
setbacks will not be established on a fust come first serve basis.
Tree Board

Page 3
Undesirable species means aspen, box elder, cottonwood, elm, and willow.
I believe that this ordinance is now ready to continue through to the Planning Commission
and City Council. However, I wanted to provide the board members with one last
opportunity to comment on the ordinance and these final changes. Please provide me with
any comments on the ordinance by Tuesday, February 22, 1994. Unless there are significant
changes proposed to the ordinance, I do not believe that we will need to meet again on this
ordinance.
Thank you for your time and dedication in working on this ordinance. The City owes much
for your effort and patience. I believe that this ordinance is something that will bode well
for the future of the city.

area(s) which outlines all areas covered by tree canopy shall be included as
part of the survey. Additionally, all damaged and diseased trees shall be
cataloged with tbe nature and extend of any damage or disease specified.
(a) Based on this survey and either site observation and measurement
or aerial pbotograpb interpretation, tbe following sball be
calculated:
1) Base line Canopy coverage (i.e. percent of site covered by
tree canopy)
2) Canopy Retention Requirements, calculated as follows:
The following table shall be used to determine the minimum amount of woodland
canop~" coverage that must be maintained or provided on-site as part of tbe
development. It shall represent tbe minimum canopy coverage, consisting of existing
tree canopy and/or tbe specified reforestation or replacement trees required for tbe site,
at the time of complete development of tbe site. Existing wetland areas located on site
shall be excluded from the calculation of site area in tbe determination of required site
coverage. If a forested area is to be dedicated to the City for park land, tben tbis area
shall not be included in the base line canopy coverage area calculation nor shall it count
towards the minimum canopy coverage for the site.

To the extent practical, site design shall preserve significant woodland areas and special
trees. Special priority for tree preservation shall be given to areas within flood
plains, wetlands, stream corridors, wooded slopes, and along collector and arterial
roadway corridors. To facilitate this, a woodland management plan, which may
include preservation, reforestation, and replacement elements, shall be formulated
by the developer as one component of the development proposal. The woodland
management plan shall be prepared and signed by a registered landscape architect,
licensed forester, or other professional approved by the city. This plan shall
include the following information:
a. Tree survey
b. Designated woodland areas
c. Location and size of replacement/reforestation tree planting areas
d. List of all replacement trees including species, caliper, and planting
method
e. Methods of tree protection
f. Location of all protective fencing
g. Special construction methods to be utilized
h. Location of all retaining walls
i. Statement explaining why replacement trees are necessary e
j. Rationale for selection of replacement/reforestation trees
(3) The applicant must demonstrate that suitable home sites exist on each lot by
describing a 60' x 60' building pad (WhiCh includes deck area) without intruding
into required setbacks and easements.
