Park and Recreation Commissioner Applicants

The attached request was forwarded to the<Chanhassen Villager on October 21, 1992.
Unfortunately, the news release was not included in the October 29 and November 5 editions of
the paper. The article did appear in the November 12 edition, and I requested that it appear
again in the November 19th edition. To accommodate this, I eXtended the application date to
November 20, 1992.
As of today, I have not received any inquiries in response to last week's article in the Villager.
In extending the application deadline to November 20th, only Saturday, Sunday and Monday the
21st, 22nd and 23rd of November are available to contact applicants and to schedule interviews
for next Tuesday. In light of this, and the minimum amount of press these vacancies have
received to date, I am recommending the interviews be postponed until the regularly scheduled
December 15, 1992, meeting. In addition, all Park and Recreation Department staff will be out
of the office on November 18, 19 and 20 attending the Minnesota Recreation and Parks
Association State Conference in Rochester. This change would necessitate that the City Council
conduct interviews and make appointments to the commission at their fIrst meeting in January.
This will still allow a full commission to be on-line for the first Park and Recreation Commission
meeting of the Ilewyc:ar. In regard to the four vacancies on the commission for terms starting
January 1, 1993, the following update is provided:
Andrews Seat: Jim has voiced his desire to be reappointed.
Lash Seat: Jan is not seeking reappointment.
Pemrick Seat: Wendy is not seeking reappointment.
e
Erickson Seat: Randy resigned from the commission on Friday, October 30, 1992
(Halloween night). As commissioners may recall, Randy did not get the job in

Michigan (I think it was Michigan), but he was subsequently offered a job at his

In checking into the details of the interview process, only those commissioners who are seeking
reappointment to their position are exempted from the interview process.

Land Development Proposal, Site Plan Review, Gateway West Business Park
This item was last formally reviewed by the commission on September 22, 1992 (see attached
staff report dated 9/22/92 and corresponding minutes). Action taken by the commission that
evening was put in the form of a motion by Commissioner Schroers and seconded by
Commissioner Berg "....to recommend that the Park and Recreation Commission request the
applicant provide as a part of their proposal, a community park site. The site to include
sufficient land of suitable character and topography to include natural vistas affording sufficient
area for viewing and picnicking; a designated 8-ft. wide bituminous trail loop with multiple
access points connecting the wooded and upland portions of the site with picnicking and viewing
areas and the street plan and sidewalks; sufficient area for the possible construction of two
ballfields with 300 ft. fences; a basketball court; a double tennis court; and a sufficient upland
area to buffer these amenities. This will require the designation of considerable more park
property than called out in the sketch plan. However, it is desirable for all parkland components
to be contiguous. This park shall also maintain considerable road frontage to afford visible
impact as well as allowing for sufficient ingress and egress, and we would like to see a concept
plan of this recommendation. All voted in favor and the motion carried."
On October 5, 1992, members of city staff met with Michelle Foster of Opus Corporation and
John Shardlow of Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban (DSU). As documented by the attached minutes
prepared by the applicant of that meeting, the requests of the Park and Recreation Commission
were again confmned. As mentioned in the minutes, DSU did present an alternative park plan
which depicted the vast majority of many park components on neighboring property. A proposal
which I labeled presumptuous, and for which the applicant was again chastised for at a meeting
with the Highway 5 Corridor Task Force as being misleading. The consensus of the October 5
discussion was:
1.
That the applicant was to slide the proposed Lot 14 to the west to allow for a larger
active park component on their property.
ft
~~ PRINTED ON RECVCLED PAPER

e
2. The active components of the park should reflect the requirements as outlined in the staff
report and recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission.
3. That the active components listed in the recommendation be accommodated within the
confmes of the applicant's property.
, In attempting to respond to these requirements, a new concept plan was developed by the
applicant The plan was presented to staff members for discussion last week. The moment I saw
the new concept plan, I could conclude that the applicant had not gone far enough to satisfy the
requirements being requested of them. My discussion that day with Ms. Foster of Opus
Corporation and Mr. Uban of DSU was very straightforward. I stated that if the easterly line of
Lot 14 was moved to the west to a point where it matched the easterly line of Lot 15, the
commission would consider accepting the newly created parcel for parkland requirements (see
attached plan for a visual description of this). As discussed with the applicant, the precise credit,
and if need be, financial compensation to be given for this dedication of parkland will be
negotiated at a later time. I would like to note that the applicant did allow for a very serviceable
trail connection south of Lot 11 to access the wetland preservation area as a part of the new
concept drawing.
RECOMMENDA nON
e
It is recommended that the Park and Recreation Commission require the applicant to dedicate
parkland as depicted on the attached diagram and as previously described in this memo, and that
all other borders of Lots 17 and 18 remain constant prior to approving the concept proposal for
Gateway West Business Park in regard to park and recreation related items, and making any
recommendations to the City Council.
Trails: In regard to trail construction and/or trail fee dedication, it is staff s current
recommendation to accept full trail fees as a part of this development As addressed in the
previous staff report, the Highway 5 trail will be developed initially on its north side. In regard
to the Highway 41 segment, numerous questions pertaining to future road improvements in this
area currently remain unanswered. The ideal time to construct a trail along any roadway would
be in conjunction with the improvement of Highway 41.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The City's Comprehensive Plan identifies this area of the.city as parkland deficient Specifically, the
plan labels the area which encompasses this proposed development as park deficiency zone 7. The
acquisition of a significant park area which incorporates as many of the natural features offered by this
site, i.e. tree cover, topographic diversity, developable land, vistas, and wetland areas is highly desirable.
The applicant, as a part of their narrative, has currently identified slightly less than 30 acres of property
as parkland. The vast majority of this land, however, is wetland. The area would also include a holding
pond which is necessary to mitigate the filling of wetlands on the site, and for storm water retention.
The open space areas identified on the current sketch plan are comprised of two separate parcels--Lot
Gatewav West Business Park
.
Septeml er 22, 1992
Page 2
17 and Lot 18 being 5.9 and 24 acres in size, respectively. It is uncontested that areas such as
those being identified as park are beneficial. However, labeling these areas as park is not
necessary to protect the wetlands found here. No credit of park fees are given for the dedication
of wetlands as public space areas as a part of a development proposal. The wooded and upland
areas of Lot 18 would earn the applicant partial credit of park fees. Excluding any park fee
credits, this proposal would generate a minimum of $350,000 is park fee revenues. The city's
standard for a community park calls for a site of 25 to 50 acres which affords natural features
'..of varied physiographic interest A community park is an area of natural and/or' ornamental
quality for outdoor recreation such as walking, viewing, sitting, picnicking, and may incorporate
areas for field and court games. A proximity to community facilities and resources is also
important. The concept plan submitted takes the first steps in creating an area offering these
qualities. Just as the city recognizes the need for well planned recreational park and open space
amenities, I believe the applicant does as well.
Recommendation
e
It is recommended that the Park and Recreation Commission request the applicant to provide, as
a part of their proposal, a community park site. This site is to include sufficient land of suitable
character and topography to include natural vistas, affording sufficient area for viewing and
picnicking, a designated 8 ft. wide bituminous trail loop with multiple access points connecting e
the wooded and upland portions of the site, with picnicking and viewing areas and the street plan
and sidewalks, sufficient area for the possible construction of two baUfields with 300 ft. fences,
a basketball court, a double tennis court, and sufficient upland areas to buffer these amenities.
This will require the designation of considerable more park property than called out on the sketch
plan. However, it is desirable that all parkland components be contiguous. This park shall also
maintain considerable road frontage to afford visible impact as well as allowing for sufficient
ingress/egress.
COMPREHENSIVE TRAIL PLAN
The Comprehensive Trail Plan calls for the location of 8 ft. wide bituminous off-street trails on
the north and west perimeters of the main site. The northern boundary being State Highway 5
and the western boundary being State Highway 41. We can anticipate that the section of trail
to the north will be completed in conjunction with the next phase of construction on Highway
S. This trail, when constructed, will lie on the north side of the highway. In regard to Highway
41, the applicant has not incorporated into their sketch plan the section of trail identified here in
the City's Comprehensive Trail Plan. A representative of the applicant has voiced their desire
to delay the planning of this trail until the state improves Highway 41. Dependant upon the
likelihood of the state doing so, and the proposed time frame, the city may concur with this
position. However, in the realm of highway improvement time tables, better safe than on the
back burner. This section will, at its south terminus, be an important link with Chaska's trail
system. Internal pedestrian traffic routes (sidewalks) are necessary as a pan of this plan and will e
; .

be addressed by the Planning Department and Commission. The minimum amount of revenue
this development would generate in trail fees upon completion, excluding any credits, is
$114,000.
Recommendation
It is reconunended that the Park and Recreation Commission request the applicant to incorporate
into their proposal and plan for the construction of an 8 ft. wide bituminous trail along the east
side of State Highway 41 beginning at State Highway S and extending south to West 82nd Street
This construction is to be completed by the applicant in accordance with the city's standard
specifications in regard to trails. In consideration for this construction, trail fees will be reduced
accordingly.
Upon the Commission's requests being incorporated into the Gateway West Business Park Plan,
the Park and Recreation Commission will be presented an amended plan.

Re: Gateway West Business Park
Dear Mr. Krauss:
e
On behalf of the Gateway Partners Limited Partnership, Opus Corporation is pleased to
submit the enclosed PUD Concept Plan for the Gateway West Business Park at the
intersection of Highways 5 &. 41 in the city of Chanhassen. The subject property covered by
the PUD Concept Plan is the property of approximately 150 acres loalted in the southeast
quadrant of Highways 5 &. 41 as well as the land located in the northwest quadrant of West
82nd Street and Highway 41, consisting of approximately 28 acres.
The property currently is utilized for agricultural purposes. It consists primarily of rolling
farmland with significant wetlands along the eastern boundary of the easterly parcel and
another wetland area on the westerly parcel.
e
Gateway West Business Park envisions the development of a quality mixed use business
center. It will contain approximately 960,000 square feet of total development including
approximately 937,000 square feet of office, warehouse and manufacturing space and 23,000
square feet of commercial development to support the businesses locating in the park. In
addition, 29 acres in the northwest part of the park has been reserved for a special miled use
development that will reflect the quality and standards consistent with the high vW"ility of
this site and the objectives of the city of Clanhassen. At this time, the tact nature of the
land use is not known but could include institutional, educational, office, industrial, or
commercial uses. We request that a mixed use land use designation be Jiven to the property
at this time so that the highest and best use for the property can be found Park covenants
will be developed to assure quality development.
The plan respects the natural features of the site to the utmost alent possible. The plan has
been developed in order to create I unique business park settina. which consolidates the
wetland areas into park areas for preservation and serve as foal! points for the development.
The important wooded areas to the south and east are also preserved.
The internal circulation for the park is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan by
providing a parkway like extension of the Highway 5 fron14ge road, connecting to the existing

West 82nd Street at the Chanhassen/Cbaska border. Only one major intersection is
provided with Hi&hway S and another with Hi&hway 41 in order to provide access into the
park. We are requesting that improvements be made to Hiahway 41 to lower the elevation
of the roadway which will allow for lifer inJress and ep-ess into the aite.
Utility service for the development is requested as part of Phase n of the Upper BI~ Creek
District sanitary sewer and water main improvements. It is anticipated that interim services
can be provided to the southerly portion of the site through a cooperative agreement with
the city of Chaska. A site for a future water tower has been incorporated into the plan to
be located along Highway 41.
We are requesting Planning Commission and City Councll approval of the Gateway West
Business Park PUO Concept Plan and rezoning as the first step in the governmental approval
process for this project. This approval will be followed by a request for preliminary plat,
approval of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet, Tax Increment Financing, and the
extension of utility service.
We request that you accept the enclosed application for sketch plan review and rezoning for
consideration on the October 7. 1992 Planning Commission meeting. Please caJl me if you
have any questions or require any additional information regarding our application. Thank e
you for consideration of our request.

DEVELOPMENT NARRATIVE
GATEWAY WEST BUSINESS PARK
CHANHASSEN , MINNESOTA.
PUD CONCEPT PLAN
Property Description
The total property consists of approximately 178 acres, of which 150 acres are south of Highway 5
and east of State Highway 41. The westerly parcel is 28 acres located directly west of Highway 41
and north of 82nd Street. The property is under cultivation with one farm homestead along
Highway 5. Approximately 22 acres of the land has been mapped IS wetlands by the City of
Chanhassen. Ten acres of upland woods consisting of maple, basswood, and oak are located in the
southeast corner of the ISO-acre parcel. The property has about 1/2 Dille of fronta&e along Highway
S, 3/4 mile of frontage along Highway 41, and approximately 1/2 Dille of frontage along 82nd
Street.
Wetlands
Twenty-two acres of wetlands have been mapped on the property and are shown on the Existing
Conditions map. The wetlands are as follows:
e
a-16-4(2)
a-16-7(1 )
a-16-7(2)
a-16-7(3)
a-16-7(4)
a-16-6(1)
a-16-1 (2)
a-16-2(1)
4.7 acres
7.2 acres
.2 acres
2.S acres
.4 acres
.2 acres
6.S acres
.4 acres
e
The wetlands are found primarily on the eastern edge of the property, adjacent to the larger wetland
and drainage system that continues to the east. The area to the east is also covered with vegetation
consisting of primarily boxelder, willow and green ISh. These wetlands are proposed to be
preserved with the preservation of the adjacent upland hardwoods. The unique character of this area
forms a natural preserve suitable for public park pwposes. .
A portion of A-l6-4(2) wetland in the DOrtheast comer of the aite needs to be filled for roadway
purposes. The road is the proposed east-west collector frontage road that needs to traVerse the
wetland area to the east to complete the City's comprehensive transportation plan. Approximately,
an acre would be filled depending on final plans. Also,' small wetland A-I6-6(l) on the southern
edge of the property also needs to be filled for the alignment of the collector.
To mitigate the filling of these wetlands, we are proposing I wetland and pond to be established
directly adjacent to A-16-7(1) wetland and to be part of the proposed park system along the eastern
edge of the property. The mitigation is proposed to be at least 2:1.
Wetland A-16-2(1), which is located at the southeast comer of the intersection of Highways 41 and
S, is proposed to remain the same. It is quite possible that the Highway Department may need to
amend this wetland as future highway improvements are made.

Wetlan: A-I6-1(2) runs north and south through the property west of Highway 41. This has been e
described by the City's wetland specialists as very marginal and would need enhancement to bring it
back to a wetland condition. We propose to fill the southern portion of the wetland and create an
enhanced wetland on the remaihder. A portion of this wetland was filled in the past with the
construction of 82nd Street in preparation for development to the south.
The design of the eventual storm sewer system will include ponding for the purposes of catching
water before it enters the wetland systems. Specific wetland mitigation details will accompany the
preliminary grading plan and the preliminary plat.
Existin~ Land Use
All of the property is presently used for agricultural purposes - the residential home lite on
Highway 41 is an exception. The Gateway Partners are presently negotiating with the owner to
include this property in the overall development.
The University of Minnesota's Landscape Arboretum is located to the west of the property. To the
south is the City of Chaska and primarily Industrial land uses. The boundary between the two cities
is 82nd Street.
A large wetland complex running north-south from Highway 5 and drained by a rural drainage ditch
is located to the east. County Road 117 is located east of that wetland. Undeveloped Agricultural
land is located to the north of the property across Highway 5. Our concept plan shows that the
proposed intersection with Highway S would serve the property to the north. The entrance to the
north considers the location of the existing woods.
The City of Chanhassen's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Industrial. The
land use designation is consistent with the surrounding land uses and road system.
The business park is located in a prominent area, important to both the City of Chanbassen and the
City of Chaska. At the intersection of Highway 41 and S, the City of Chanhassen has expressed
concern about community image as a gateway to the City. We qree that careful consideration
should be made as to the overall image of the proposed business park.
e
Transportation Plan
The City's Comprehensive Plan proposes an east-west collector road connecting 82nd Street east
from Highway 41 to County Road 117 south of HiJbway S. 1be plan also shows a DOrth-south
connector between 82nd Street and Highway S. Our road circulation plan includes all of those
connections and routes as indicated in the City's plan. Eighty-Second Street serves development in
Chanhassen as well as Chasb and curves to the lOuth servingldditional iDdustrialland within the
City of Chaska. It will directly serve the southern border of the proposed business park.
Access to the interior road system includes one access onto HiJbway S and ODe access Onto
Highway 41. We have worked with MnDOT to confirm poipts of access. 1be access points have
been determined to be appropriate distances from the intersection of Highways S and 41 to handle
future traffic concerns.
We are also anticipating a future safety improvement project on HiJbway 41 that would help
eliminate the steep grade coming off of the Highways 5 and 41 intersection. MnDOT indicated that
the steep grade slows truck traffic through the intersection, and a lowering of that grade would also
improve overall capacity. 1be lowering of Highway 41 throuJb the area would improve overall e

work c:ln be done in conjunction with the City's future watermain and water tower project that are
planned along the Highway 41 corridor.
Proposed Land Use
The Concept Plan illustrates the road system contemplated in the City's Comprehensive Plan
facilitating the development of industrial lots alona the collector road while preserving the eastern
edge for park and natural area. The road system is developed to create T-intersections, which form
safe intersections for traffic. The T-intersections also focus business park visitors toward the
amenities and the entrance to the park area. This entrance experience is an important part of the
image of the park and is incorporated in the design of the circulation system. Part of the road
entrance design includes landscape islands to define traffic movements and create an enhanced image
. for the park at critical points. Primary entrance points will be off of Highway S and 41 with a
secondary entrance off 82nd Street.
The plan has developed into 22 lots, including Lots 17 and 18 for public park purposes. The park
area is proposed to be approximately 30 acres in size. Lots 8, 20, and 21 are proposed to be the
initial phase of support-commercial for the industrial area. These uses may include a bank, service
station, restaurant, etc.
e
Approximately 29 acres are in Lot 1, which is proposed as mixed use to be determined at I time in
the future when the business park matures. This location is very prominent in the City of
Chanhassen and should be held for the best use possible. Often the temptation is to develop the best
sites first, however, we believe that it is to both the developer's and the City's advantage to hold
onto this site for a mixed use development that could include office, I hospital or specialized
medical clinic, research center, educational facility, commercial and other uses complementary to
the business park and the City of Chanhassen.
Along Highway 41, Lot 4 is proposed to be the site for the City of Chanhassen's water tower. We
have located the water tower next to our western entrance in anticipation that its desip will be of
high quality and a recognizable landmark.
Overall, we anticipate the develop will consist of approximately. 960,000 square feet of industrial
and associated uses. A majority of the site will develop within the next 10 years, with the first
phase of development beginning along 82nd Street on the southern edge of the property. The road
system will be built as development moves northerly and to the east. The phasing works in unison
with the installation of utilities. It is anticipated that the southern portions of the site can be served
through the City of Chaska, with the remainder of the site being served with a future extension of
sewer from the southeast.
Amenities
Amenities and the standards for development are critical tD the quality of the business park. Opus
has developed many such parks in the past and proposes tD use similar standards and development
techniques for the Gateway West Business Park.
In order to integrate the business park into the natural surroundinp aDd adjacent land uses tD the
east, the development plan indicates I 3o-acre public park tD include wetland aDd wooded areas for
the purpose of public enjoyment and long-term preservation. The park area would extend from the
wetlands and woods along Highway S to 82nd Street. As land is developed to the east, the City can
add additional land to this park preserve system.
e

The business park will be idt;ntified at its major entrances with monuments and enhanced
landscal-ing. These areas will be designed in conjunction with the traffic islands to create a .
prominent entrance and identifiable image for the area. Details of the amenity designs will
accompany the preliminary plat for each phase of development.
In addition to the entrances on Highway S, Highway 41, and 8200 Street, special attention will be
given to the perimeter along the highways. The perimeter plan will include groupings of plantings
in recognizable blocks rather than stretched out in a linear fashion, which is the typical street
treatment. The use of tree groups will enhance the road character and still provide visibility to the
attractive buildings within the park area. Also, care wnJ be liven to the development of parking and
loading areas so that ample screening is provided to minimi7,e the visual expanse of larae parking
areas lots. The perimeter plans will be completed as each area develops and based on the eventual
design and reconstruction of adjacent highways.
Each individual industrial site will develop accordinl to specific aite development atandards that will
be included in the development controls for the business part. These atandards will include the
design and location of entry drives and parking, buildinas, sigDlle, Ii&hting, and site Jrlding. The
landscape treatment of each site will include boulevard plantings in public streets 6 feet from the
curb, with emphasis on winter attractiveness, spring blooming, and fall colors around the building
and parking lots. Perennial plantings will be encouraged in highly visible locations to add more
summer beauty throughout the park. Where appropriate, native grasses may be used as part of the
landscape treatment. .
Architectural standards for buildings will be developed to cover building materials, utilities,
screening, lighting, architectural design, loading and si&nale. These standards wnJ discourage the
use of outside storage, metal buildings, and other less desirable components of industrial
development.

Public Present:
Name
Address
Michele Foster, Opus Corporation, P.O. Box 150, Minneapolis 55440
Tom Kordonowy, Steiner Development, 3610 So. Hwy 101, Wayzata 55391
Howard Dahlgren, Dahlgren, Shardlow, Uban, 300 1st Avenue No, Mpls
e
Hoffman: Thank you Chairman Schroers and Park Commissioners. Before we
begin I believe it would be appropriate to introduce the folks that we
have here in the audience. Michele Foster in the second row is the
Director of Land Development at Opus Corporation. The other gentlemen,
I'll let them introduce themselves to the Commission and let them address
with you what their connection with this project is.
Howard Dahlgren: My name is Howard Dahlgren. I'm the past President of
Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban, Land Planning Consultants...Tom Kordonowy
who is the President of Steiner Development...partners.
Tom Kordonowy: ...resident of Chanhassen. I have four Chanhassen and I
enjoy the City very much.
e
Hoffman: Thank you. The concept review which you have before you is for
an office/industrial planned unit development on 178 acres of property
currently zoned agricultural estate. The location, as you can see by
your location map, is the southeast quadrant of Highway 5 and 41. In the
northwest quadrant of West 78th Street and Highway 41. We reviewed this
map throughout the meeting but I believe it would be appropriate...
significance in size. Again, the proposal is in that southeast quadrant
of Highway 5 and 41. The boundaries to the west would be Highway 41.
State Highway and the Arboretum... This also runs directly into the City
of Chaska... Back to the east you have a vacant parcel of property
slated for high density residential to the north and lower density or
single family residential to be developed immediately east of that where
we run into Timberwood... As you can see, it's a significant... To go
through the adjacent, the current zoning again to the north is
agricultural estates. To the south, the City of Chaska and their
Park and Rec Commission Meeting
September 22, 1992 - Page 23
industrial park. East, agricultural and then west again, agricultural
and the U of M Landscape Arboretum. In regard to the City's
Comprehensive Plan, it identifies this area of the city as park
deficient. Specifically the plan labels the area which encompasses this
proposed development as Park Deficiency Zone No.7. The acquisition of a
significant park area which incorporates as many of the natural features
offered by this site referring to the tree cover, topographic diversity,
developable land, vistas, wetland areas, is highly desireable. The
applicant as a part of their narrative, as you have read, has currently
identified slightly.less than 30 acres of property as parkland. The vast
majority or so be it, the majority of that property however is wetland
and currently is in that state. The area which would also include a
holding pond which is necessary to mitigate the filling of wetlands on
this site, and for storm water retention. The open space identified on
the current sketch plans are comprised of two separate parcels. Lot 17
and Lot 18 being 5.9 and 24 acres in size respectively. Nobody contests
that area such as those being identified as parks are beneficial.
However, labeling these areas as park is not necessary to protect them as
wetlands. As you know, no park credit fees, no credit to park fees are
given for the dedication of wetlands as public space areas as a part of a
development proposal. The wooded and upland areas of Lot 18 would earn
the applicant partial credit of park fees. Excluding any park fee
credits, this proposal would generate in the area of $350,000.00 in park
fees revenue. The City standards for a community parks call for a site
totally in it's entirety, 25 to 50 acres. Community park affords natur~
features of varied physiographic interests as we discussed earlier. A'"
community park is an area of natural or ornamental quality for outdoor
recreation such as walking, viewing, sitting, picnicing and may
incorporate areas for field and court games. Proximity to community
facilities and resources obviously is also important. The concept plan
submitted to date, which you have before you, takes the first few steps
in creating an area offering these qualifies. Again, just as the city
recognizes the importance of these areas, I believe the applicant does as
well. We just need to work through the process of coming to an agreement
of what that all exactly means. In addition to your packet you have
before you an aerial topographic view which shows you in better clarity
how this site lays out. The large blue line which you have laying before
you, that will show you a little bit better exactly the areas which are
currently identified as parks and open space and how they actually look
in the field. So please feel free to refer to that as we go through
this. As far as the recommendation in regards to the City Comprehensive
Plan, it is recommended that the Park and Recreation Commission request
the applicant provide, as a part of their proposal, a community park
site. This site to include sufficient land of suitable character and
topography to include natural vistas, affording sufficient area for
viewing and picnicing, a designated 8 foot wide bituminous trail with
multiple access points connecting the wooded and upland portions of the
site with picnicing and viewing areas and the street plan and sidewalks.
Sufficient area for the possible construction of two ballfields, a
basketball court, a double tennis court, and sufficient upland areas to~
buffer these amenities, very similar to what you see at Lake Susan park..,
in the community at present. This will require the designation of
considerable more property than called out on the sketch plan. However,
it is desireable that all parkland conformance be contiguous or lie next
.

to each other, meaning both the active components and then the wetland
components as part of this proposal. This park shall also maintain
considerable road frontage to afford visible impact as well as allowing
for sufficient egress and ingress and parking areas. Conversations today
with some of the representatives we have here is that, this may certainly
be possible that it needs to make economic sense and we don't dispute
that. Any property the City would be desiring to acquire, the applicant
would certainly be compensated for. Which 'fund that comes out of may, is
still not answered. As you discussed tonight, the applicant will come in
for a financing plan under TIF, Tax Increment Financing. A portion of
the park or the facility which eventually is realized here, could be
financed as it was at Lake Susan with those TIF dollars. A portion of it
could be financed with park fees as eluded to that this development would
eventually maintain at $350,000.00 or better in park fees. So I'll be
interested to hear what the commission, what your thoughts are in regards
to the comprehensive plan and what that means to this area, as I'm sure
the applicant will as well. Comprehensive trail plan is somewhat
simpler. More simple. The comprehensive trail plan calls for a location
of an 8 foot wide bituminous off street trail on the north and west
perimeters of the site, being Highway 5 and Highway 41. We can
anticipate that the section of trails to the north will be completed in
conjunction with the next phase of construction of Highway 5 as we
discussed this evening. This trail when constructed, will lie on the
north side of the highway. In regards to Highway 41, the applicant has
not incorporated into their sketch plan the section of trail identified
in the City comprehensive plan. There may be good reason for that in
that the applicant has had conversations and the City would certainly be
interested in entering into those as well with MnDot so that the desire
of lowering the road level there at Highway 41, when you turn south off
of Highway 5 and you directly begin to ascend that steep hill. It would
be to everyone's benefit to bring that down. At the time that that road
project would be undertaken, that would be a very reasonable time to go
ahead and put that trail system in. But again with the timeframes and
the forecasts of MnDot, I'm not sure that we want to hang our hat on
that, Those roadway projects can drag out for 5, 10, 15 years depending
on funding sources, etc. Dependent upon the likelihood of the State
doing so, at the proposed time we may concur with that position. It's up
to the Commission and City Council to decide. This section will at
itself terminous the one going south on Highway 41. It will be an
important link with Chaska's trail system. In regards to interal
pedestrian traffic routes or sidewalks, they are necessary as a part of
this plan and will be addressed by the Planning Department and
Commission. The minimum amount of revenue this development could
generate in trail fees upon it's completion, excluding any credit, is
$114,000.00. The recommendation in regard to trails is that the Park
Commission request the applicant to incorporate into their proposal and
site plan the construction of an a foot wide bituminous trail along the
east side of State Highway 41, beginning at State Highway 5, extending
south to the existing West 82nd Street. This construction is to be
completed by the applicant in accordance with the city standards,
specifications in regard to trails. In consideration for that
construction, trail fees will be reduced accordingly. That
recommendation can be amended as a part of my previous comments in regard
to the lowering of the road and that type of thing. If you would like to
Park and Rec Commission Meeting

.
see the trail go in at that time, I would 'amend that recommendation to
elude to that. Upon the Commission's request to being incorporated, into
the Gateway West Business Park plan, the Park and Recreation Commission
will have a second chance to look at this and review their proposal.
Schroers: Thanks a lot Todd. I think that staff laid this out very
well. This is a familiar format that we've seen before. It's
understandable that unuseable area such as wetlands would make good parks
and good natural areas. However, we need property that will also support
active use as we are park deficient in that area so a balance of both
natural area and active use area I think is what we're going to be
striving for here and that was put down ~uite well in the recommendation
I believe. I'm looking for input or discussion from other commissioners.
Lash: I have two quick questions for Todd and the applicant I guess.
The first one would be, is there any timeframe that anyone knows of for
TH 41? Do you have inside information?
Michele Foster: We have had conversations with MnDot, with Evan Green at
MnDot as far as road improvements for Highway 5...and our re~uest to
include the access on Highway 41. There's no definitive time table,
although he has indicated that they are looking at the 1996 timeframe but
feel if there is significant interest on the part of both the cities of
Chaska and Chanhassen, that there may be some pressure that can be
brought to bear to find funds in order to move that up on the schedule.~
We are certainly very interested in having that happen because we feel
it's very important to the development of this property to improve that
access and I think from conversations with both the Planning Department
of Chanhassen and with the City of Chaska, that there would be
significant support for seeing that, those improvements made. But until
we get further along in this process and the City has taken some more
definitive approvals for the concept that we're talking about, we haven't
been able to bring that pressure to bear at this point but we are
prepared to do that...
Lash: But the farthest down the road would be 1996?
Michele Foster: That's what they say today.
Berg: Is that tied in at all with the completion of 212?
Michele Foster: No...it's a separate issue. There may be some
improvements there now. I think they...to be more improvements there and
it's a ~uestion of I think...to make that priority for the State, as they
are open to that discussion.
Berg: Because I was under the impression they were going to be looking
at redoing TH 41 when 212 connected. Have you heard anything about that?
I'm wondering if the way that 212 is being.
Michele Foster: To the best of my knowledge, no. But again, that issu~
still needs to be addressed in terms of timing, both from our interest
and I think the same for the City as well.
Park and Rec Commission Meeting
September 22, 1992 - Page 26
.
Koubsky: Michele, for this development would you wait for that
improvement before you developed or would you develop and then
incorporate MnDot's plan?
Michele Foster: Well I think we need to understand what their timing is
going to be for those improvements. It really is our goal to see those
improvements made sooner rather than later. But no, this project is not
going to wait for the Highway 41 improvements but it is our goal to get
those done....as we can and that's why it's our position that we would
~ike that portion of trail not have to be installed immediately. When
'from a planning purpose it makes sense to understand that but I'm not
sure that it makes sense to require the installation... It may also be
possible then to use State or Federal funds to install that portion of
trail as part of the improvements. It would be nice...
Koubsky: That looks like a pretty small issue on this whole thing.
Michele Foster: In the whole scheme of things, it is but.
Lash: Then Todd my question for you is, in your recommendation regarding
the trail it said, in consideration for this construction, trail fees
will be reduced accordingly. Do you have any idea what it would be?
e
Hoffman: Again, in regard to the construction of the trail, upon
finishing my report the discussions came out about lowering Highway 41. I
would not be an advocate of pursuing development of the trail with park
development fees by the applicant in light of recent information being
brought forward. Chairman Schroers, I believe it would be valuable at
this time if the applicants do have any prepared statements, that the
Commission could take those.
Schroers: Yes. Okay, thanks. If there is anything that any of the
applicants or the representatives of this project wish to share with us,
we'd be happy to hear it at this time.
Michele Foster: Well I'd like to defer to Howard Dahlgren at this point.
His firm has been the planning consultant firm for the project and we'd
like to give a brief presentation on what our rationale was in developing
the concept and then I can just make a few brief comments after that
really about, clarifying our position on the staff recommendation. So
with that I guess I'd like Howard...
e
Howard Dahlgren: Thank you very much. We've put together a few
transparencies that I thought might be helpful for the Commission to
understand our proposal... By the way,' I want you to know that it is our
objective here to do this park pretty well. It's a great piece of land.
It's important to the city of Chanhassen and Chaska in the sense that
it's the gateway to Chaska from the north and gateway to Chanhassen from
the west. That's why we're...we want to do the right thing in the right
way at the right time. There are some things we can.do and there are
some things that we cannot do. But working together, we want to have the
best results here. That's why...
--Park and Rec Commission Meeting
September 22, 1992 - Page 27
e
(Mr. Dahlgren's presentation was not being picked up on the tape as he
was standing away from a microphone.)
Schroers: Okay, could I ask for a little interpretation on that. When
you say that the 15.9 of useable land, are you talking about the high
ground and treed area? It's the forested area?
Howard Dahlgren: Some of it, as you can see from the photo, some of it
has, much of it has trees. Some of it does not. As you can see here, I
.think the land that showed trees... Here you can see, the wetlands are
shown on here in the dotted line. The trees are shown on here in the
lighter green. That shows the relationship of the trees and the overall
park site... So the answer is, there's high ground with trees. There's
high ground without trees.
Schroers: Is there high ground without trees sufficient enough to have
playing fields, in your opinion?
Howard Dahlgren: Well I think if we leave.this as it is, if you move
this pond somewhere else, maybe in here or somewhere, there would
probably be enough room to put one ball diamond in here. This we can do
without your acquiring any land. Now if you're going to extend...then
you'd have to acquire it. We don't really want to sell more land since
this is the only industrial land that's out here on the west side. we.
feel that it's in the city's interest to develop this tax base...for it
best useage which we think is for industrial purposes... If you want
additional parkland, perhaps it ought to be...residential areas or a
pasture area...east and to the north. I'm not trying to plan your park
system. What I'm saying is, our intention here is to develop a fine~
high quality industrial park. And because of the economic...it's
difficult for us to not...we'd like to be able to develop this over a
period of time...so it winds up to be in the interest of everyone, the
City and over time... The bottom line is though, we want to do a fine
job here. We cannot, we weren't even aware of the fact that you wanted
to have us provide a 25 to 50 acre park. We simply can't do that. We
could do this. Maybe there could be some adjustments...but we cannot
provide a 25 acre park here... I would suggest that perhaps land that is
designated for residential might be acquired cheaper than land that's
well located for high quality industrial...
Schroers: Okay. Is anyone, have you done any kind of concept in regards
to what type of park you think that's 90ing to be? I mean for me sitting
here looking at what you're proposing, basically what we have there is
what we would have to call a passive use park. A natural area. It
wouldn't be a real high active use type park. It would be a natural area
and our mission is to kind of look at our comprehensive plan and to
acquire areas that are needed in park deficient areas and assign those
parks a purpose and I think that when staff is asking for a community
park here in the recommendation, that what we're looking for is a park
that offers a balance of amenities where we have some nice natural area~
like you're talking. The oak forest but we also, for it to be a
community park it has to be something that the residents of the city are
90ing to want to come out and enjoy so there's 90ing to have to be some
attractant there other just trees. Not that trees are not important.
.
Park and Rec Commission Meeting
September 22, 1992 - Page 28
They're becoming increasingly more important every day and we wish that
we could afford to have just natural areas set aside just to be left as
that but I think our need indicates that we are going to have to provide
some form of recreational opportunities in this area of the city.
Howard Dahlgren: Yes, I think you're right in that all the ingredients
...However. it may be that a park like this perhaps in conjunction with
some...it may be that your playfields are in another location. They may
be contiguous to the school site. In Mendota Heights, they just bought
new parkland contiguous to the school site on purpose and they use the
facilities together and it's working extremely well. Everyone is saving
money...and it's a concept that has a lot of merit... But you are right.
This site is not...but there's a lot of land out there yet on the west
end of Chanhassen. Perhaps there's a site...that doesn't infringe on
high value...
Schroers: We have been looking in that area for quite some time and
there is still some space available but whether or not and when it can be
acquired is I guess something that we don't know at this point. Are
there any questions?
e
Lash: I have a question. First I'd just like to make a comment on your
presentation in that it's one of the best presentations I've seen. The
visuals were excellent for me to see where the wetlands and the tree
coverage are. I've never seen one this good so I thank you for that. I
have a couple of questions about the development itself. What type of
buildings are these? Are these similar to what we already have in our
industrial park over here? Sort of a one story type building or are they
more office building type things or what's it 90ing to look like?
e
Michele Foster: As you may know, Opus Corporation has developed a number
of mixed use business parks in the Twin Cities. Opus II in Minnetonka.
Eagandale Center in Eagan. We're developing a new park in Plymouth
called Bass Creek Business Park. We were involved in the development of
Chanhassen Lakes Business Park, although we were not the initial
developer of that park. We consider this to be really an extension of
that. Of all of that experience. But it is primarily going to be an
office and industrial park. We envision most of the buildings being more
low rise kinds of buildings. The office market is really not in a very
healthy state and not likely to return to a healthy state for a long
time. But we view it as a quality business park. I think we envision it
as probably a step above the Chanhassen Lakes Business Park that we have
been involved in. But it is going to be a mixture of building types and
building materials but we consider the design standards in the covenants
that are going to be implemented for the park are going to emphasize
quality design. They're going to emphasize open space. Landscaping. It
is our intent that we will be designing and building most of the
buildings within the park and so we will have the kind of architectural
and design control that will help ensure that that level of quality is
maintained throughout the history of the park. So that's basically what
we envision at this point.
Lash: Okay, thank you. And then Mr. Dahlgren, you said you were
talking, thinking of doing this in stages or phases. Do you have any
Park and Rec Commission Meeting
September 22, 1992 - Page 29
e
idea over how many years?
Howard Dahlgren: Well,' it will probably take a total of 10 years to do
the total project.. Generally we'd start it in.the south. We want to get
this road up through here as quickly as we can... Depending on the
timing of the utilities, how much of this would be...
Lash: Okay. And then looking at how this is divided up into lots I
guess. what would you say the average size is of just, they all look like
they're somewhat close in size there. I'm not very good at judging that.
Howard Dahlgren: Michele...! haven't done that. Have you done that
Michele?
Michele Foster: No I haven't...I'd say around 5 acres it looks like from
just the listing of the separate parcels. !t's probably around the
average of 5 acres.
Lash: Okay Todd, then I have a couple of questions for you too. On the
east side of where this stand of oaks are, down in that southeast corner,
you said that was zoned low density?
Hoffman: Residential?
Lash: Yeah.
e
Hoffman: Correct.
Lash: And then just to the north of that is high density? And have you
seen anything come across for any developments in that area at this time?
Hoffman: Not to my knowledge at this point but again, if you refer to
the aerial which you have you'll see, as Mr. Dahlgren has mentioned, the
extreme difficulty which is going to be met when that area comes in for
development. The entire, let's just look to the plan. You can see the
fence line which is...and the wetland area which we are currently
discussing. This wetland goes over the property line down into the
O'Shaughnessy property.
Lash: 50 okay. I mean you're reading into what I'm saying here which is
fine, because that's just what !'m saying. We wouldn't be able to just
collect the park fees here and use the money to buy property on the east
side of the wooded area, because it wouldn't be developable?
Hoffman: ...acquire as part of future development this knoll to continue
with the preservation of the open space but contiguous to this site,
which identifies park property there would not be, in my opinion, ground
which is suitable for an active park.
5chroers: And that is what you're, excuse me. That is what you have ie
your recommendation is that a parcel that will accommodate both. Active
use and.
Hoffman: Correct?
Park and Rec Commission Meeting
September 22, 1992 - Page 30
.
Lash: My thought here is pretty obvious of course was, could we just
split it and have the park be on the residential side of this development
with the oaks as the background to the west of it? Are you following me?
But we couldn't do that?
Hoffman: It doesn't work, no.
Lash: Okay. Then how far is this from the slated school site that's on
TH 5?
Hoffman: It's relatively close. Again, if we refer back to the... The
current property line is that line right there. This is the
O'Shaughnessy piece and then the school property.
Lash: So it's right on the other side of...?
Hoffman: Correct.
Lash: Thank you. That's all my questions.
Howard Dahlgren: ...this is the O'Shaughnessy parcel...I'm not sure that
that that knoll would be undevelopable for a ballfield. We did not
investigate that...
~ Schroers: Okay. thank you. Any other questions?
Erickson: ! have a question for that yet mapped out corner of that right
at Highway 5 and 41. Right in the corner there. which is obviously a
very prime site. What kind of things did you envision? How many acres
is that empty space? Just roughly.
Michele Foster: It's about, a little less than 30 acres...
Erickson: What kind of, what range of things would you envisio~? I mean
that seems like a very prime site. A Radisson hotel. Kentucky Fried
Chicken or what?
Howard Dahlgren: No Kentuckey Fried Chicken. A Radisson hotel possibly.
Maybe a use that we don't even know.
Erickson: Fleet Farm has what corner?
Hoffman: Directly to the north.
Erickson: To the north of that.
e
Howard Dahlgren: So we just don't know but we wanted to keep it
accessible. Maybe it's industrial. Maybe by the time we get here,' the
office park is packed and we can put a first class office building here
surrounded by industrial. What we're sayjng is whatever it is, it's
something that...
Park and Rec Commission Meeting

.
Schroers: Are there any more questions or comments from Commission
members?
Koubsky: Todd, could you outline on there where exactly, you mentioned
Lots 17 and 18 in your recommendation there. Can you kind of show us on
one of these maps how that fits in. These are kind of filled with half
copies and stuff.
Hoffman: Lots 17 and 18...two locations which they outlined as open
space. ..all the areas that we've been talking about the open preservation
areas...
Koubsky: Okay now, for something that's 178.3 acres, what's the
dedication requirement for that as far as land?
Hoffman: It can be based on a premise of 10% of land value. Of land
which is there. Or you can reverse the calculation and take a look at
what type of revenues you're going to be receiving off of this and then
go back into negotiations to purchase parkland at the land value which
was paid here prior to improvements. That is why the Commission has the
chance to review development prior to it being developed because once
it's industrial park, you certainly wouldn't want to pay $1.50 a square
foot to buy property out there in an industrial park for park purposes.
Koubsky: So basically the volume of area of land we're looking at as
potential dedication is 17.8 acres.
e
Hoffman: Sure, potentially. Again, this 15.9 acres which is pointed out
here has not been verified by the city. It does include the ponding area
which is currently included in there and would bring that figure down
somewhat. Comments based on the information you've heard this evening is
that, I would agree that those areas set aside, the best uses for
parkland but from the eye of a developer it's certainly the only use that
that land could be used for so keep that in mind. As well the impact.
The idea that this land is very valuable in the sense of industrial
ground. Again, I will not dispute that but if that is our premise. why
do we have Lake Susan Park? Community Park. Why do we have the Lake Ann
Park, which is some of the most desireable land that we have on the
Highway 5 corridor. We have those simply because of action which we
discussed in our previous meeting. That somebody had the foresight and
the thought to go ahead and acquire those properties. If it was the
desire of the Commission simply to accept the park dedication in this
regard and take the $350,000.00 and pocket it and spend it, 10 or 15
years from now we're all going to forget what that money was spent for
and we're going to have some open ground and ponding areas but we would
not have a ballfield which can be utilized by our community for the next,
or in perpetuity if it's an open park property. Those are some of the
things that, as Commissioners you need to mull over. It certainly is not
to the advantage of the applicant to sell that property. The additional
property, whether it be a 5, 10, 15 acres of additional land, back to t~
City prior to developing it as industrial park because they're going to~
get paid less money for it as park property as part of your requirement
and your review of this site than if they develop it as industrial
property and sold it at $1.50 a square foot for instance. We have not

Park and Rec Commission Meeting

talked about ~t. It's unfortunate but as we go through and we talk about
open space and industrial sites and how nice they are, it seems we never
talk about the actual employees. The people who will be working here.
I'm not sure what we have on site. Some 14 odd buildings with 200 to 300
to 1,000 employees per building. Those are the people we're addressing
this evening. It's not the industrial site. It's not the land use.
Those type of things. It's the people that will be moving here who will
have an interest, not only if they work here but those people who will
choose to move to this community since they have jobs in this industrial
site. So those are some of the issues that, as Commissioners we have to
'keep in mind as well as we move forward with the concept review of this
proposal.
Koubsky: It seems to me, I guess the point we're trying to get across in
this development, addressing the developer, we do have a system at Lake.
Ann that there's quite a bit of industry around that area. The
industries do utilize that property for recreation. Their own ballteams,
picnicing and luncheons and what not. There are quite a few employees
down at that end of town. We don't have something similar up at Lake, is
it Lake Susan? Or Lake Ann?
Hoffman: Lake Lucy to the north?
Koubsky: Yeah, I'm thinking just right out here on CR 17. Anyway, what
we're trying to incorporate here is, I'm not quite buying this wetland
park or passive park. We do appreciate passive parks. We have just
actually moved on one southeast of here but with this many people moving
in, I think we need to provide some sort of recreation facility for them
and their families coming in here. I think it would also improve the
development and possibility sellability down the line for this if there's
some area in this development and adjacent developments for people to
recreate. For people to take lunches and practice with their ball teams.
Softball teams. These guys are going to sponsor softball teams. They're
going to play somewhere. They're going to also have a demand on our
current park system which is being stressed now for ballfields and
recreational facilities. I guess we're looking at this development
potentially to help us out in that regard. To give back to the community
a little bit which I think they're going to expect when they do move out
here to reside and work. So I guess my feeling is, and I'm not in a
position where I can say which are of this development I like best. I do
understand your sewer. Your utility requirements. However, I think we
need something a little more active in this area. It is a park poor or
park deficient area. Granted we are going to have a school but that may
turn out to be an elementary school. And how we're going to utilize that
land really isn't up on the table at this point. So I guess personally
I'd like, now that you know the recommendations of the staff, kind of
follow along that line. We do have an option to ask for 17.8 acres and
not accept any of the wetland as those acreages. It looks like we're
possibly looking at 25 to 50 acres. We may be willing to purchase some
properties. I'd kind of like to throw it back and have you digest these
recommendations and thoughts and maybe let you strategise on how that
would fit your development and come back. That's how I feel. I'm not
willing to accept this proposal. But I'd like to work with you.
Park and Rec Commission Meeting
September 22, 1992 - Page 33
e
Schroers: I think that that is pretty much getting to be the general
conception of the commission here. It would be nice if we could just put
away, put aside natural area and say this is nice. This is beautiful but
the people who currently live here. The people who are coming here. The
people who are going to be your clients and customers who are going to be
working in your development are going to ask for something I think more
than just woods and lowland. In our other community parks, two of our
premiere community parks we have lakes, a beautiful beach, boat landings,
that sort of thing and I think that we would be definitely lacking to
accept an area like this as a community park and basically what we're
pffering, what we have to offer as a park here is forested area and
l~wlands, which are nice natural amenities but offer very little active
recreation use to the people in the area.
Howard Dahlgren: Mr. ChaiTman?
Schroers: Yes sir.
Howard Dahlgren: Could I just comment on two points?
Schroers: Sure.
Howard Dahlgren: First of all, in terms of the calculations...that if
you disallow wetlands for park dedication, you also take the wetland out
of the total acreage because the intent is to provide park area to serv~
the developable area. Whether it's residential or industrial. You ,.,
cannot develop a wetland... That's why these calculations, we've taken
out the 22 acres... You see it's kind of unfair to have us dedicate 10%
of wetlands when we can't use them. Then if you don't count wetlands...
Koubsky: Well that was an oversight on my part. I mean I'm certainly
not here to.
Howard Dahlgren: The other point is that not every developable park...
necessarily provides active recreational space. I understand that
Ryan...here in Chanhassen has no parks at all... If you want the money
here, we can give you the money too.
Schroers: See what it would have to do is fit into our overall
comprehensive plan for the city park system and we have that laid out and
it is defined where we need parks and whether they need to be active or
passive or a combination of both and we are following a format here and
trying to stay and remain consistent. If we accepted an area that was
basically unuseable and we're not able to offer recreational activities
in the area, the people who are living and working in the area I'm sure
would find that an unacceptable. They would be standing here in front of
us asking us to explain our actions why we did that. That has happened
before.
Lash: The Ryan development was in an area that was not park deficient.
This area is park deficient so that's the difference between these two ~
developments.
Howard Dahlgren: Maybe we're the first in the area to develop...
Park and Rec Commission Meeting
September 22, 1992 - Page 34
.
Schroers: To put things a little bit into perspective, how many acres
Todd do we have at Lake Susan? Just to give us a general idea of what
kind of space we're talking about.
Hoffman: Total acreage, including the fringe woodland areas, the pond
and then the active components is approximately 35 acres.
Schroers: 35 acres at Lake Susan.
Lash: Okay and my question is, to provide the active part that you have
in your recommendation, what would we be looking for just to provide the
active area?
Hoffman: Again, as I've commented in my narrative there, it depends on
how it lays out with buffer areas and that type of thing and topography
but better than 10 acres in addition to the 30 acres which is there is
probably a starting point.
e
Schroers: I hope that Mr. Dahlgren and the other representatives of the
developer here understand our position. A lot of the information that
you're providing us is what you're going to have to sell to the City
Council. We deal only with the park and recreation issue and that is the
point that we have to look at. Our goal is to best serve the park and
recreation needs of the city of Chanhassen and that's the criteria that
we're going to follow. So whatever our recommendation is, it is
certainly not to create difficulty but is remain consistent with our
program and to try to develop the best park system for the City that we
can as you are trying to develop the best industrial park that you can.
Is there any further discussion?
Erickson: I have a question Todd. And I think I know the answer but I
want to hear it. Can you say with any kind of certainty what we can do
with the new school site? Assuming that it would be elementary. Can you
make any predictions? Any educated guesses as to what we'll have
available there to make an active park?
Hoffman: I can say with certainty that something will happen. What that
incorporates as far as outdoor recreational activities, ballfields,
soccer fields, football, soccer, is unclear at this point. It really
depends on the design of the school and how much of the site it does
consume. And then as far as indoor recreation, we need an additional
gymnasiums. Those types of things. In conversations with the School
District and the long range facilities task force, we certainly all agree
that the city of Chanhassen is in a position of being able to assist in
the funding of those type of components. So something will be there. It
will be more than you would typically see at an elementary school site.
But it might not be very dissimilar to what you find at City Center Park.
Lash: But we're talking youth facilities, more than an adult ballfield.
Softball field.
e
Hoffman: Correct.
Park and Rec Commission Meeting
September 22, 1992 - Page 35
e
Lash: I mean my suggestion would be, I can tell the direction that we're
going here and I'm certainly in favor of preserving the oak stand and the
wetland and stuff but it would make a nice area for trails and that kind
of stuff if we can acquire enough acreage abutting that to facilitate our
active fields and then your wetlands the trees behind it would be sort of
your backstop to the whole thing. You know it probably could turn out to
be something very nice and would not require 35 acres of prime property
right in the middle of your whole development but could be all
incorporated together. That's just a suggestion if you guys go back to
your drawing board of trying to figure out how to put it all together. I
mean I would certainly want to see it incorporated somehow.to preserve
the oak area there.
Hoffman: Just to back up a few comments again which came up which I
jotted down. In reference to the Ryan site, which you reviewed. The
City did acquire slightly less than 10 acres of open space or park
property as a part of that development. That's in addition to the park
and recreation trail fees and park fees. If you recall, that is the site
which is part of the Bluff Creek preservatlon zone. The purchase of that
property is being coordinated through tax increment financing dollars.
As TIF was used in that scenario, tax increment financing is the
enticement for this development to occur. Without that financing
package, the folks here this evening and the Gateway Partnership would
not be before you. So the City certainly has more resources in addition
to park and trail fees in the 10% calculation. If you would wish to ~
purchase an additional 10 or 15 acres up and beyond what we can receive'"
through the dedication process, tax increment financing money will be
there to purchase it. But if you're in the applicant's shoes and you
have a parcel of land sitting out here and you could make even money or
slightly better selling it to the city, or you can double your money
selling it to a perspective buyer, again which one would you choose.
That is what I see is the stumbling block that we face here tonight.
Lash: What Ryan development are we talking about? I don't think I'm
talking about the same one as you are.
Koubsky: It's the one off Audubon.
Hoffman: Chan Business Center. The triangular piece.
Lash: Oh, okay. Okay. I thought you were talking about Target. That's
Ryan too isn't it?
Hoffman: Correct. This one is just off Audubon.
Koubsky: South of Timberwood.
Hoffman: Kind of this area. The piece of property we just acquired is
right in this location.
Schroers: Okay. Well we are not going to accomplish anything unless w~
do make a recommendation and pass it onto Council and you know we're at a
very preliminary stage here. At this point, if there's no further
discussion, I would ask if anyone is ready to entertain a recommendation
.
e

on this and I guess my oplnlon would be consistent with that of staff in
regards to their recommendation.
Lash: Are you moving that?
Schroers: No, I'm asking if anyone else will. If no one else wants to,
I will.
Erickson: So you want the trails separate from the...
Schroers: Yes. There needs to be a separate recommendation for the park
and trails.
Lash: Now this is going to City Councilor are we going to make a
recommendation that the applicant comes back with a different, what are
we looking for?
Schroers: Yeah, I think we're going to ask to see a concept of what we
are recommending. So, does anyone want to make a recommendation? If
not, I will. I recommend that the Park and Rec Commission request the
. applicant to provide as a part of their proposal a community park site.
The site is to include sufficient land of suitable character and
topography to include natural vistas affording sufficient area for
viewing and picnicking. A designated a foot wide bituminous trail loop
with multiple access points connecting the wooded and upland portions of
the site with picnicking and viewing areas and the street plan and
sidewalks. sufficient area for the possible construction of two
ballfields with 300 foot fences, a basketball court, a double tennis
court, a sufficient upland areas to buffer these amenities. This will
require the designation of considerable more park property than called
out on the sketch plan. However, it is desireable for all parkland
components to be contiguous. This park shall also maintain considerable
road frontage to afford visible impact as well as allowing for sufficient
ingress and egress and we would like to see a concept plan of this
recommendation. Is there a second?
Berg: Second.
Schroers moved. Berg seconded to recommend that the Park and Recreation
Commission request the applicant to provide as a part of their proposal a
community park site. The site is to include sufficient land of suitable
character and topography. to include natural vistas affording sufficient
area for viewing and picnicking. a designated 8 foot wide bituminous
trail loop with multiple access points connecting the wooded and upland
portions of the site with picnicking and viewing areas and the street
plan and sidewalks. sufficient area for the possible construction of two
ballfields with 300 foot fences. a basketball court. a double tennis
court. a sufficient upland areas to buffer these amenities. This will
require the designation of considerable more park property than called
out on the sketch plan. However. it is desireable for all parkland
components to be contiguous. This park shall also maintain considerable
road frontage to afford visible impact aa well as allowing for sufficient
ingress and egress and we would like to see a concept plan of this
recommendation. All voted in favor and the motion carried.

The meeting was called to discuss a number of issues relating to the development of Gateway West
Business Park. A summary of our discussion on each of these issues is summarized as follows:
1)
Utilities: The Joint Powers Agreement with the city of Chaska is in large part agreed to and
is expected to be resolved and approved by both cities within the next 30-60 days. Upon
approval of that agreement, the city council will be asked to authorize the city of
Chanhassen's consulting engineer to study the feasibility of providing utilities to the Gateway
West Business Park including the option of servicing part of the property through existing
utilities in Chaska.This study will determine how much of the Gateway West property, if
any, can be serviced through Chaska. The determination can then be made as to the timing
of the trunk utility improvements planned for in the second phase of the Upper Bluff Creek
project.
e
One of the city's key concerns will be the city's bonding limitations. At this time it is
anticipated that the city's $5 million maximum will be reached in 1993 by projects that are
currently planned and do nQ1 include the second phase of the Upper Bluff Creek project.
One alternative would be to issue taxable bonds instead of tax exempt bonds.
Another consideration will be the expected timing of development for the O'Shaughnessy
property to the east. If development is not yet ready to occur on that property, there could
be difficulties in getting utilities installed across that property to get to Gateway West
Business Park.
2) Hi~way 5 Task Force: The Planning Department plans to refer the development plan for
Gateway West Business Park to the Highway 5 Task Force for comments in probably late
October or early November, after the City Council has reviewed the plan. There was a
great deal of discussion regarding the appropriate role for the Task Force. They will be
looking at a variety of issues including set-backs, building orientation, building materials, the
roadway alignment for the proposed frontage road, and the proposed park plan. The
possibility of a moratorium was discussed. The opinion was given that a moratorium would
be unlikely.
3)
Park Dedication: A lengthy discussion was held regarding alternative layouts for the
proposed park. The plan prepared by DSU was presented and discussed as well. It was
agreed that a modified park plan should be looked at which incorporates both Gateway
.
.
e
e
Minutes
Page 2
West Business Park and the property to the east. It was requested that DSU look at a plan
which slides our proposed Lot 14 to the west to consolidate the park area. The active
component of the park should reflect the requirements as outlined in the staff report, and
an attempt should be made to include some active components on the Gateway West
Business Park area.
4)
Wetland Issues: Kate Aanenson provided us with a letter from the DNR which is attached.
City planning staff and DNR staff walked the site which resulted in the attached
correspondence.
" .
5)
29 Acre Mixed Use Parcel: The Planning Department would like the owner to present
potential alternative layouts and uses for the property. A commercial center would not be
considered an acceptable use.
6)
Arboretum: The planning staff would like to see an acknowledgement of the Arboretum
reflected in the proposed plan. This includes buffering along the common property line,
landscaping elements, and possible entrance features.
7)
Buildini Materials: The planning staff indicated that the language in the staff report which
would require precast "finished in stone textured or coated" material is not accurate and will
be changed to permit standard textured precast wall panels. The Highway 5 Task Force will
look at the building material and building orientation issues with respect to the sites along
Highway S.
8) Environmental Impact Statement: An Environmental Impact Statement will be required for
the project. It will focus on wetland, traffic and water quality issues. It was agreed that the
scoping EA W will define the issues as narrowly as possible. Paul Kraus asked DSU to
prepare a proposed EIS process for the project. We have requested that the city advise us
as to the process and schedule the project can be expected to take after the City Council
meeting on October 26, 1992. We are to let Paul know the status of our consulting work
on the EA W which has already been undertaken.

Tree Preservation Board
t
It has been some time since the commission has addressed the issue of the formation of a Tree
Preservation Board. In that interim, seven applications for this newly forming commission have
been received. To more forward in this area,. I am asking that the Park and Recreation
Commission elect a member of the commission to serve on this board. I will also be addressing
the nomination of a City Council member and Planning Commission member to this board with
both the City Council and Planning Commission. Upon confrrming these three board members,
the "at-large" applicants will be interviewed to select four additional members to the board. Once
all members have been selected, an inaugural meeting of the board to establish an agenda and
to take care of general housekeeping items, i.e. selecting meeting times, dates, chairpersons, etc.,
will be set.
Update (11-17-92): With the resignation of Randy Erickson from the commission, he is no
longer able to serve on the Tree Preservation Board. Therefore, I am again asking the
commission to elect a member of the commission to serve on the board. This person may be an
outgoing member. As can be seen from the attached materials, the process to get this board up
and moving has been initiated. I would like to have the P~k Board member identified prior to
the December 3rd interview date.

time of your interview. If you are no longer able to be considered for a position on the board,

convenience.
The interviews will be held under comfortable discussion format conditions. Mr. Richard Wing,
Council member; Mr. Tim Erhart, Planning Commission member; and a member of the Park and
Recreation Commission will be conducting the interviews and have previously been named to

I hope you look forward to the prospect of working on behalf of trees in the City of Chanhassen.
This board is being established out of a sincere belief on the part of the City Council and the
commissions that they individually cannot devote enough time to issues relating to trees, their
protection, and promotion.

City Trail Rules--Are Dogs Allowed?
The attached excerpt from the Chanhassen City Code Section 14-65, Animals--that one line, is
the extent of the language in the City Code which addresses animals in parks. Only that simple
explanation is needed since the issue is very clear--if you are in a park, you are not permitted
to have with you a dog or other animal.
e The question of whether or not dogs should be permitted on trails, and for that matter sidewalks,
is not addressed by this section. In answering inquiries to date, my response has been if the trail
is not in a city park, you may walk your dog; if the trail is within the borders of a park, you may
not. The completion of the asphalt trail linking Rice Marsh Lake Park and Lake Susan
Cormnunity Park has increased the awareness of this issue. Since this trail is contiguous to two
parks, is it considered part of those parks? Can you assume if a person is walking a pet on the
trail they will most likely pass through one or both of these parks? If pets are permitted on the
trail, does the city need to adopf a "pooper scooper" ordinance? Would it do any good?
The Park and Recreation Commission has reviewed this issue in the past as it pertains to parks.
Rules specific to trails and pets now need to be discussed. · Pets are important to many people.
However, one noticeable difference separating pets from the human population utilizing city trails
is that they use little discretion in choosing a location to relieve themselves.. .... ~ addition, some
pet owners are prone to walktbeir dog's unleashed or "at-large," wQichst times can lead to
additional problems.
Conclusion: It is my recormnendation to clarify any action taken on this item by addressing
concrete sidewalks separately from asphalt trails. Beyond this, the question of whether or not
pets should be allowed on trails is an individual issue, one which the commission needs to
resolve as a group.

Halloween Evaluation
e
The 1992 Halloween party was one of the biggest .our department has seen. The overwhelming
response to the party was a pleasant surprise. A total of 389 children attended the party, and
with their parents the total was 600-700 people attending.
The registration procedure worked out well with registrations being taken until 12:00 noon the
day before the party. Next year the registration will stay open until 4:30 p.m. the day before the
party. The new computerized registration on the City network was efficient with the ladies at
the front desk entering registrations on a daily basis. It was helpful, to assist in planning, to have
current registration numbers available at any given moment.
One problem experienced at the yearly party is getting costumed characters and other volunteers
to the party on time. There isn't anything more frightening than to have the party starting with
people missing. This problem Will be reviewed again next year.
The newly formed Chanhassen Jaycees helped with this Jaycees were in charge
of coordinating and decorating the Friendly Hallway, in which they did a good job. Being their
first year, I know they learned about what it takes to <:ievelop this event. Next year with their
knowledge, I am sure planning will be much easier.
e
The Scary Hallway added a few new decorations and props this year, and with these new
additions, the Scary Hallway really seemed to "fill in" and look complete. A great addition to
the Scary Hallway was the fog machine from the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres. The fog rolled
down the hallway as children and their parents entered the Scary Hallway. I would like to build
more props next year for both hallways.

This year a different vendor was used for the hayride around City Center Park. We were very
happy with his services and will use him again in the future.
Suggestions for next year:
- Have more volunteers to help set up.
Show a movie/cartoon in the cafeteria of the school.
- Serve refreshments/donuts in the cafeteria of the school.
- Figure two donut holes/cookies per person.
- Purchase enough candy for each child to receive 20-25 pieces.
- More drawings for parents, i.e. night at Country Suites, gift certificate to Festival.
- Separate decorations for both hallways ahead of time.

On 11-2-92 at 0005 hours I was dispatched to North Lotus Park in Chanhassen on report
that a car had been driving in the park and appeared to be stuck.
I arrived in the area at about 0015 hours. There:was'a snsw storm going on at the time
and the streets were covered with about six inches of snow and slush. I drove into the
area westbound on Fox Hollow Drive. Fox Hollow Drive runs along the north edge of the
park. I noted vehicle tracks in the snow westbound along Fox Hollow Drive that veered
off the road into the park and then back on to Pleasant View Road. I drove onto
Pleasant View Road along the west side of the park. I found more tracks leading from
Pleasant View into the park. I got out of my squad and walked into the park following
the vehicle tracks. The tracks went into the park at what I thought was a parking area.
However, due to the amount of snow it just looked like part of the park. The tracks
led through a parking area. At the edge of the parking area is an embankment. The
tracks went over the embankment, then turned and led east across the park. The ground
was'sDft and wet from all the rain and snow. In the center of the park was a low
drainage area. The tracks continued east to the east edge of the park where the vehicle,
a small passenger car had gotten stuck after making a loop at the east edge of the park.
There were two males working around the car as I approached. They apparently did not
see me. As I reached them I could see that the front wheels of the car were sunk down
into the lawn from spinning. The two males were using a jack and a steel wheel in an
attempt to get the car free. The engine was off, the lights were off and the hood was
up. The keys were in the ignition.
I asked the males what they were doing. They told me they were trying to get the car
freed up. I asked what they were doing in the park. One of them replied that they were
looking for a road. I asked who had been driving the car. One of the males stated he
was the driver and that the car was his. That male was later identified verbally as
Christopher Moreau Thompson, 12-15-72, 6300 Cardinal Av., Excelsior, 474-5024. I asked
Thompson if the car was registered in his name. He told me it was not.
The second male had his driver license which identified him as William John Tews, 1-28-74,
6300 Cardinal Av., Excelsior.
I brought both males out to my squad where we were met by Deputy Koehler.
~(~A
In running a computer check of Thompsons car it came back registered to Dennis and David
Shafer of Excelsior. The registration showed an expiration of November 1991. I asked
dispatch to try to contact the registered owner. Dispatch located the mother of David
Shafer by phone. She advised that the car had been given to Chris Thompson back in
August and at that time it did not run.
1""1 y ~r..r ,,~
I had noted the tabs on the car~re for 1992. I asked Thompson about the 92 tabs. He
stated those were the tabs on the car when he got it from Shafer. The tab number came
back later on a computer check belonging on a retired plate of a Ford, owned by Tews.
I asked Thompson why he had not transferred the car title into his own name. He told
me he got the car in August, but it did not run at that time. He also mentioned
something about a problem with the title. I asked Thompson about insurance for the
car. He told me he did not have any insurance. USJlIIm

Anderson Towing, Greg Anderson, responded to my location. As the ground
was too soft and attempts to remove Thompsons car may not be successful
and would definitely damage the park lawn further, it was decided to
wait until the city could coordinate the cars removal. The car was
about 100 yards from any road.
92-13892
The day shift deputy working on 11-3-92 will coordinate with the city of Chanhassen and
tow agency their attempts to remove Thompsons car from the park. Further follow up
with damage estimate will be pending successful removal of the car. Follow up report
will be submitted for requesting restitution.
On 11-2-92 at about 1720 hours I arrived at Thompson and Tews residence. They were not
home at the time. ~ spoke briefly with a mature male and female. I gave them envelopes
containing citations for Tews and Thompson. I asked that the envelopes be given to
Tews and Thompson. I was advised that would be done.
Citation # 058234 was issued for Tews charging him with trespass in a city park after hours.
~.
e
Citations # 058233, 056556, and 056557 were issued for Thompson for the following:
Trespass in city park after hours, Drive offpark road, Damage to property,
Expired registration, Fail to transfer vheicle title, No proof auto insurance,
No auto insurance.
I will be removlng the 92 tabs from Thompsons car and keeping them until this case is
cleared.
Thompsons car will be impounded until he can show proof of ownership, insurance, and
current registration.
No further information.

Lake Susan and Lake Susan Community Park
As you are aware, the existence of Lake Susan Community Park in its present state is due largely
to the efforts of the HRA. The Lake Drive East road improvement project provided access to
the park, and additionally resulted in a large amount of fill which was utilized in creating the
ballfield and other recreational areas. In 1989 the city received a $110,925 Land and Water
ConservatioI1 Grant (LA WCON) administered through the Minnesota Department of Trade and
Economic Development for the development of Lake Susan Park. It was at this time that the
HRA gave the Lake Susan Park project an additional boost by providing the necessary funds to
match the federal and state grant. The finishing touches of this park development project have
recently been completed, leaving the city with a 33-acre community park which would be the
envy of any community. Recently, additional funding through a Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) was secured to purchase a handicapped accessible fishing pier. Total amenities
in the park now include the only regulation baseball field in the city, a full-sized basketball court,
two tennis courts, two sand volleyball courts, a covered picnic shelter and reservation picnic site,
an extensive children's play area, a boat access, an archery range, trails, lighted entrance road
and parking areas, the fishing pier,. and other standard park amenities.
The involvement of the HRA in this cause has been invaluable. Your willingness to invest tax
increment in a park which happens to lie within a TIF district bolsters the buying power of the
general Park Development and Acquisition Fund. One gap does exist, however, in the Lake
Susan Project. A gap, until now, the city was confident that the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) would fill.
As recently as 1990, Lake Susan sustained a partial winter fish kill. History documents winter
kills of the lake in 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, and 1990. Last
winter representatives of the DNR attended a Park and Recreation Commission meeting to
discuss the situation at Lake Susan. Gerald Johnson, Project Engineer for the DNR section of
Fisheries confirmed our knowledge that a lake aerator was needed for Lake Susan and indicated
n

e
that the likelihood of receiving grant monies through the Cooperative Opportunities for Resource
Enhancement (CORE) program to purchase such an aerator was very high. Subsequently, the
city made plans for the eventual installation of an aeration system by amending the Lake Susan
Park construction contract to include the electrical components needed for the aerator. In late
1991, the application for the lake aeration system was submitted to the DNR. A petition from
area lake residents was included as a part of this application (see attachments). What I have not
, explained to this point, which to do so I will have to break the fishermen's code, is that Lake
'Susan is full of catchable walleyes. Without the aid of a lake aerator, this very improved fishery
is in jeopardy.
As Authority members may know, the DNR will not perform fish stocking in lakes without
permanent public access. However, upon the initiation of the Lake Susan Park improvement
project, the Fisheries section of the DNR made plans to stock Lake Susan. Bending the rules in
1990 (the access was not completed thus technically no stocking is to occur), the DNR released
80,000 walleye fry and 5,300 bass fry into Lake Susan. Fry are fish stocked in lakes shortly after
hatching and are approximately one-half inch in length. The following season, 85,000 walleye
fry were stocked, bringing the total count of walleye fry stocked over the two years to 165,000.
Not surprisingly, the fish took to the lake very well, benefitting from the winter kills of 1988,
1989, and 1990 which significantly reduced the number of predator fish in the lake. (When
you're only one-half inch in length and nearly transparent, almost anything is a predator.)
Fishing reports and visits to the fishing pier this summer verify that the walleyes are abundant
and growing rapidly. The 1990 year class are now 12 to 14-inches in length with the 1991 fish
measuring approximately lO-inches in length. During each of my visits to the pier this summer,
the people fishing had either caught and released one or more walleyes or had included them on
their stringer.
e
We are all aware of the state's budget situation, and reports from all DNR staffers indicate that
a 1993 application for CORE funding for an aeration system would fall into empty pockets. The
city has invested over $300,000 in Lake Susan Park to date. The park has been very well
received and we now have a lake full of thousands of catchable walleyes and other species of
fish. This water resource walks a tight rope, however, as the oxygen levels in Lake Susan are
easily depleted and the lake faces winter kill each season. My appeal to the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority is to guarantee that a complete winter kill will never again occur in
Lake Susan. This can be done through the authorization to expend funds not to exceed $25,000
to purchase a lake aeration system for Lake Susan. You will find the support for such an
investment in the community to be high and far reaching.

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your meeting tonight I believe we can use this time
e
to further develop a growing relationship between your organization and the city. It was in June
.
of this year when I met Roberta and Ken for the first time sitting down to discuss how the new
Jaycees could be of benefit to the community. Before going further, I would like to express that
to date you have done remarkably well as a service organization. Your involvement in both the
, Oktoberfest and the Children's Halloween Party was invaluable and you can be proud of the job
the Jaycees performed during both of those community events.
I was asked to join you this evening to discuss how the Jaycees can help the City of Chanhassen.
In a year filled with politics rather than to provide you with endless talk and fluff, I have elected
to provide you with a list of hard choices. How can the Chanhassen Jaycees benefit the City of
Chanhassen? Here are some ideas.
e
1. Continue to be involved with the Oktoberfest, renamed for 1993, Septemberfest And the
annual Halloween celebration.
2. Be the driving force behind a winter celebration in Chanhassen.
3. Become involved in the Toys for Tots campaign over the holidays.
4. Volunteer to deliver meals through the Meals on Wheels program.
S. Donate food to the Carver County Food Shelf.
6. Help the city with the annual Easter Egg Hunt
7. Adopt a park as a part of the Adopt a Park Program scheduled to kick-off in Arbor month
of 1993.
8.
Volunteer to distribute trees on Arbor Day in 1993.
e
9. Provide the labor to plant trees on city park property.
e
10. Raise money for the purchase of a playground to be placed in a Chanhassen park.
11. Coordinate the Family Games during the 4th of July's Community Picnic.
12. Sponsor an event during the 4th of July Family Day.
13. Become involved in next year's Chanhassen Arts Festival.

I hope this list provides you with some ideas of how to get involved in helping the community.
The city needs your power as a group to get things done. We are often able to provide planning
e
and the funding for a variety of community events, however, we need you to make them happen.
Thank you for your time this evening. I look forward to your continued involvement in the
community.

Dear Mike:
On behalf of the Chanhassen City Council, I would like to thank you for your generous donation
of trees to the city. The number of opportunities to obtain mature trees at no cost other than
moving charges are limited. The city was able to transplant approximately 45 trees from your
nursery prior to being shut down by the recent snowfall. These trees were planted in parks
throughout the city which formerly were void of trees. The outcome of your graciousness has
not gone unnoticed in the city. Many residents, staff members, and Council and commission e
members have made favorable comments upon seeing the new trees. Prior to the snow, the city
had completed a planting plan for boulevard trees along Kerber Boulevard and Audubon Road.
Pending your consideration and approval, the city would like to continue moving trees in the
spring of 1993. I will contact you after the (lIst of the year to discuss these plans further.
Again, thank you for the trees. Your contribution will truly grow and prosper in our community.
Sincerely,

Asphalt Work in City Parks
A variety of park projects involving the installation of asphalt surfacing have been slated for
completion in both the 1991 and 1992 Park Acquisition and Development Capital Improvement
Programs (CIPs). These include the trail loop in Curry Farms Park (1991 CIP), the trail
connection from Lake Susan Community Park to Chanhassen Hills (1992 CIP), and the park
access road and parking lot at Power Hill Park (1992 CIP). Other asphalt work has also been
identified which, when completed, will assist many park users through better accessibility, and
will demonstrate that the city is encouraging the use of public park facilities by those in need of
improved accessibility. These include the continuation of the existing asphalt trail at the Lake
Ann Park beach, widening the road to the ballfield concession building at Lake Ann Park and
enlarging the parking area at the same, installing a trail between the parking lot and west entrance
to the tennis courts at Lake Susan Community Park, and the surfacing of the parking lot ~t the
Carver Beach Park south beach. The following descriptions explain each of these projects in
general with the attached maps corresponding with each description. Charles, at your
convenience, please schedule a time when Mike, Dale Gregory, you and me can discuss these
plans.
Thank you for your anention in this matter.
1. Trail Looo in CUrry Farms Park: Originally slated for installation in 1991, this project
has been delayed for a number of reasons. Crews have recently completed a filling and
grading operation at the park, and it is now imperative that the trail be installed and
restoration work be completed.
2.
Trail Connection from Lake Susan Community Park to Chanhassen Hills: This trail will
connect Lake Susan Community Park with the Chanhassen Hills Subdivision at Barbara

the future, a oncession/restroom building cted on this site and the
this new parking facility shall be planned accordingly.
6. Installation of a Trail Between the Parkin Lot and West Entrance to nis
Lake Susan Park: To conform with accessibility requirements mandated by fi la,
the aforementioned improvement needs to be completed. Lake Susan Park. a
constructed in part with federal funds, representatives of the Minnesota Department
Trade and Economic Development, the state agency administering these funds has mad
a formal request in this regard.
7. of the Parkin Lot at the Carver Beach Park South Beach: This par' area
is currently s with gravel. Upon applying asphalt, the lot sha triped and
signed for one (1) handicapp . e area immediately
forward of the steps being striped no parking. The issue of water sheet drainage shall be
addressed as a part of this project
Update (8-28-92)

Dear Mr. Pflaum:
As discussed in previous c9n~~ Lundgren Brothers Construction agreed to make a cash
donation in the amou~6f $4,OOO~;l the City of Chanhassen to facilitate the purchase of
additional playground uipmen!.Jor installation at North Lotus Lake Park. This arrangement
was reached as a part 0 Lhe' approval for the Summit at Near Mountain development. The
attached letter dated March 12, 1992, references both this project and your donation. As you are
aware, the city has ordered this equipment and will be installing it upon its arrival. A copy of
the invoice is attached documenting this purchase. At your convenience, please forward
Lundgren Brothers' donation to the City of Chanhassen.
As I am sure you agree, we believe both North Lotus Lake Neighborhood Park and the Near

Dear Mr. Pflaum:
This letter is to confirm our agreements of last week. As part of the approval process of the Near Mountain
Seventh Addition final plat, the following conditions will be included. These items pertain only to the areas
of park and recreation.
1.
Lundgren Brothers Construction will provide park property totalling 4.5 acres, including Lots 8 and
9, Block 2, in addition to the two utility outlots. In exchange for this action, the city will provide full
park fee credit to the Seventh Addition ($500.00 per unit). This is consistent with conditions
approved as part of the preliminary plat.
e
2. Payment of full trail fees ($167.00 per unit) will be made at the time of the building permit
applications.
The land use restrictions which Lundgren Brothers Construction wishes to impose upon the park property
will be acknowledged by the city. These restrictions are consistent with how the city wishes to see this
property used. However, final acceptance of these conditions will be contingent upon City Council
approval. .
The City of Chanhassen would also like to thank you for your contribution of $4,000 for the purchase of
a second phase of play equipment at North Lotus Lake Park. This neighborhood park provides recreational

your continued Involvement in the community of Chanhassen.
Sincerely,
Todd Hoffman

1992 SURFACE TRANSPORTATION PROJECT SUBMITTAL
POWERS BOULEVARD (CO. RD. 17) BIKEWAY
,
e
Protect Description
The Powers Boulevard Bikeway will be constructed adjacent to Powers Boulevard from
Trunk Highway 5 on the south to Lake Lucy Road on the north. The project will involve
a new 2,300 foot trail from TH 5 northward to the southern terminus of an existing trail.
The second portion of the new construction will start at the northern terminus of the
existing trail and extend 5,200 feet to Lake Lucy Road. The east/west trail connection
to downtown Chanhassen at the southern terminus of the project will be constructed in
the spring of 1993 in conjunction with a separate road improvement project.
The new trail will be constructed consistent with AASHTO standards and the MnDOT
Bikeway Design Manual where feasible. The trail will have bituminous surfacing and have
a total width of 8 feet. A typical section for construction of the trail can be found on the
last page of this application.
Qualltvlna Criteria
The construction of the Powers Boulevard Bikeway in the City of Chanhassen qualifies
as a Traditional Bikeway Project as demonstrated by the following: ./ e
1. The proposed bikeway project is consistent with the bikeway and trail plans of the
surrounding municipalities. In this context, the Powers Boulevard Bikeway is
consistent with plans to serve the overall region.
2. In 1991, Chanhassen updated its comprehensive plan which was subsequently
approved by the Metropolitan Council. The transportation and recreation sections
of the plan address the location and implementation of a trail plan to provide a
network of off-street trails to serve the entire community. The Powers Boulevard
Bikeway is one of the primary north/south linkages identified in the plan.
3. The intent of Chanhassen's trail plan is to provide safe travel opportunities for
pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles. An overall goal of the system is to
facilitate the movement of people in transportation modes other than those
requiring the consumption of fossil fuels.
4. The Powers Boulevard Bikeway does not cross any significant barriers. The
proposed bikeway will run parallel to an existing busy roadway.
1
e
,
.
e
e
Existing sidewalks exist within the City of Chanhassen. The Powers Boulevard
project is a bikeway facility, it is not part of the sidewalk system.
6. The Powers Boulevard Bikeway will be located within public right-of-way and will
be available to all members of the public.
5.
7. The proposed project does not involve the construction of skyways.
B. Powers Boulevard is a roadway that was constructed and is maintained by Carver
County. The construction of a bikeway within the County right-of-way is being
coordinated with Carver County. As was mentioned previously, the proposed
bikeway is consistent with Chanhassen's Trail Plan which was coordinated with the
cities of Eden Prairie, Shorewood, Chaska, and Victoria.
Priority Criteria
The following information responds to the Priority Criteria identified in the Interim
Solicitation Process.
1 a. The proposed Powers Boulevard Bikeway is needed as a transportation link
connecting a variety of existing and developing land uses. In general, this trail
segment links Chanhassen's residential neighborhoods in the north central and
western portions of the community with Chanhassen's downtown which offers
many retail opportunities as well as public uses such as the Senior Center, Post
Office, Library, City Hall, and Chanhassen Elementary School. The proposed
bikeway provides a meaningful connection to the newly constructed park and ride
transit facility in downtown Chanhassen.
1 b. Chanhassen's 1991 Comprehensive Plan includes a trail plan that incorporates
both pedestrian and bikeway facilities. The transportation section of the plan
contains two goals that directly relate to the proposed Powers Boulevard Bikeway.
They are:
. "Promote increased development of bikeways and trail facilities in order to
conserve energy resources, enhance recreational opportunities and assist
in the abatement of pollution and congestion."
. "Chanhassen should require sidewalks andlortrails in commercial, industrial
and medium and high density residential areas; adjacent to schools and
other public buildings; and along one side of collectors and other high
volume roads."
Construction of the Powers Boulevard Bikeway is supported by both of these
adopted goals.
2
Implementation of the adopted Trail Plan is a high priority in Chanhassen. Recent ·
community surveys have indicated a high degree of resident interest in trail e
construction. In order to support trail construction, the City has adopted a trail fee
as part of its park dedication requirements. Currently, newly platted properties are
required to provide trail fees consistent with the following schedule: .
Single-Family Residential
Multi-Family Residential
Commercial/Industrial
$167.00 per unit
$147.00 per unit
$833.00 per acre
Implementation of the trail system requires financial resources above and beyond
revenues collected from local trail fees. Correspondingly, the STP/ISTEA program
matches federal resources with existing local efforts.
1 c. Powers Boulevard is a major north/south roadway in Chanhassen. It is classified
as a Collector - Class II by both Carver County and the City of Chanhassen. The
width of the existing roadway is inadequate to accommodate non-motorized vehicle
traffic.
1 d. The Powers Boulevard Bikeway provides an important link between Chanhassen's
residential areas and a newly constructed park and ride transit facility on the east
side of Market Boulevard. The location of the park and ride facility is shown on
Attachment A.
2.
e
The proposed Powers Boulevard Bikeway will be constructed within existing
roadway right-of-way. Additional land purchases will not be required to
accommodate the trail. The only capital investment involved in the project is the
actual completion of the trail including grading, base preparation and paving.
3. The Powers Boulevard Bikeway is a primary "spine" of Chanhassen's Trail Plan
(see Attachment A). It is an essential component of the continuous trail system
that provides linkages to adjacent municipalities as well as to a new trail recently
completed along Trunk Highway 5 by the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
4. The pavement width along Powers Boulevard is insufficient to safely accommodate
motorized vehicles and bicycles. Therefore, the existing road is a barrier to safe
biking. The proposed project will remove this barrier by supplying a separate
facility for bicycle use.
5. The Powers Boulevard Bikeway provides a bicycle route that runs parallel to the
existing roadway. Congestion along Powers Boulevard is an existing concern and
one that will increase in the future without the proposed trail construction.
According to the City's Transportation Plan, average daily traffic along Powers
Boulevard may approach 15,000 vehicles per day by 2010.
