Special site visit 7:00 p.m., Herman Field Park
SUBJ:
e
In light of the remarkable transition this parkland has experienced
over the past two months, I believe a site visit by the commission
would be beneficial. In essence, what has occurred through the
recent construction is that is a 12 acre parcel of parkland owned
by the City for the past 13 years has been opened to the public.
A portion of the landscape has been altered, but the wishes of the
neighborhood and the commission to preserve the majority of the
park in an unaltered state has been achieved.
commission members can elect to provide their own transportation to
Herman Field Park (map enclosed). Those that wish to carpool
should notify me prior to the 22nd and meet in the lower level
parking lot at 6:45 p.m.

In gathering information by phone to prepare this item, I became
aware that a metro-wide survey .~t park and trail fees had been
distributed by a colleague fromiBlaine. In that the results of
this survey are not yet availabl~,>I would ask that the Commission
table this item until the Novemberv).9th meeting.

Mail Source, Planning Case 91-6 site Plan
As you have noted, the proposal to construct Mail Source on Lot 3,
Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 5th Addition is the third
time this lot has been considered for development. I will present
this item to the Park and Recreation Commission on October 22, 1991
for consideration. However, in keeping with the schedule of review
for this proposal, I am comfortable making the recommendation that
the City Council accept full park ($2,500jacre) and trail
($833.00jacre) fees from the developer of Mail Source. This
recommendation is consistent with previous recommendations.

Update Five Year Capital Improvement Program,
Neighborhood Parks
In response to the Commission's wishes to review the Five Year CIP
in blocks, the following informat:.ion has been prepared for the
ci ty' s sixteen neighborhood park,s. ......... As requested, documentation of
existing facilities and funds recently invested in these parks has
been packaged side-by-side withit:.heWorksheet for each neighborhood
park. It would be ideal if weiCouldyisit each park in developing
it's Five Year eIP; but re.cognizil'lg the constraints of this
activity, we rely on indiviqual memb~.r's knowledge of the city's
parks to guide this discuss.ion. It would be safe to assume that
the final product of this initial discussion will be in rough form
necessitating some refinem.e.nt prior to~ddition.
It will be necessary for both the Commission and staff to depart
from the year-to-year:.l'nind set in which 'tie typically operate. To
be successful in creating a reasonably accurate Five Year CIP, we
must broaden our views and envision the fut:.~re of neighborhoods and
their parks over the. ne.x.t: ~.!y"e .Ye.<3:P:;,

Development of a Space for Senior Activities at City Hall
The Chanhassen Senior commission has actively been pursuing a
number of proj ects of interest t~:) our senior residents. Among
these is the ultimate developmentpr. a senior center in the City of
Chanhassen. Since the development CI?'t a full senior service center
is, for many reasons, a number otyears in the future, the Senior
Commission has been pursuing securing a space where senior
activities can be located and operate Jrom in the near term. Along
these 1 ines , the Commiss ion has beeni working with staff on the
potential of finishing off undeveloped space in the lower level of
City Hall to serve senior needs. The purpose of this presentation
is to describe these effori;s to you and hopefully to gain your
support in this area.
Backqround
The City initially beCame involved in senior activities in 1989.
The Council used an appropriation from the CDBG block grant to
undertake a generCllized stu<lY.9f.~~nio:t"..P7eds. A working group of
interested seniors was assembled to. . work with staff and a
consultant on this>relattvelylowc()Stst1;l<iY~iiii'I:'h.e:t"~ were no
preconceived notions as to what needs seniors had in Cpanhassen or
even if there was a large enough senior populat~91'1.tb.warrant any
special consideration. Thesi;udy-. simply .gr~Yloutof the concern of
several people on the city Counc~l that there may be senior issues
going unresolved.
The study was completed (copy attached) which indicated a range of
needs and senior issues. It concluded that there were between 800
and 1000 seniors in the community (55 and over) and that these
numbers would grow considerably in the coming years. Furthermore,
existing programs served only a limited portion of the senior
population. These ranged from improved accessed information
regarding programs (social, medical, recreational, etc.) designed

for _ seniors, improved transportation, improved housing
opportunities and an ultimate need for a senior center. The Park
and Recreation Commission may be aware that the City currently
contributes towards the maintenance of the South Shore Senior
Center in Excelsior. A number of our residents use this facility
and there are other facilities located in Chaska and Eden Prairie;
however, there is at the present time no single place for senior
activities in Chanhassen. The City Council received this study and
acted favorably upon a proposal that a senior commission be created
to further investigate these and other matters of interest to
seniors. It was felt that a senior commission was necessary if
these issues were to stay in the public interest and were to be
actively pursue them. The Senior Commission was created in January
of 1991.
Need for Space for Senior Activities
As noted above, there is no senior center in the City of
Chanhassen. Those of our residents who wish to utilize these
facili ties must travel outside the community. The Chanhassen
Senior Club has met for a number years on a weekly basis to play
cards at the Chanhassen Elementary School. The Senior Club serves
approximately 50 people but their primary activity is playing
cards. This is certainly a valid use of the space and time but is
far from reaching the range of activities it is believed to be
necessary to satisfy the needs of our senior community. We have
learned through our efforts in investigating these matters that the
range of senior activities is extremely large since you are
basically catering for groups that range from the age of 55 on up
to 90, in various states of health, marital status, living
situations, etc.
e
The Senior Commission envisions the need for space where a variety
of activities can ~cur. At least on a part-time basis to start
there would be some sort of programming assistance provided for
seniors. We have spoken at length with the Recreation Department
who is interested in working these services into their programs as
well as to Senior Community Services. Senior Community Services is
a non-profit group that operates a number of centers including the
South Shore Senior Center. We believe we need a focal point in
terms of space for these activities to be widely disseminated and
to occur. Activities could include organization of trips, medical
screening, socializing, craft activities, recreational activities
and many other uses that such spaces are being put to. We have
also begun some preliminary discussions with the Chanhasseh Senior
Club. A number of their members have reported to us in the past
that they would like a space more adapted to their needs than the
elementary school. There are apparently scheduling conflicts for
the use of the Chanhassen Elementary cafeteria and this space is
relatively noisy. I am in the process of discussing this matter
e

with the new president of the club and there would be no obligation
for them to move into the senior room, should one be developed, but
the offer would certainly be made. Lastly, the space for senior
activities would be the start of a program that would ultimately
culminate in a full service senior center. For example, we would
not envision this space to have full kitchen facilities and it
would not offer congregate dining. The space needs for a full
service center are also quite large and could not be accommodated
in City Hall at this time. The Senior commission believes that
once the senior room is up and running and being utilized by
growing numbers of people, that it will be in a better position to
actively solicit additional participation by seniors as well as
volunteer and financial support from area residents and businesses.
The Senior commission has established a non-profit status to assist
them in these endeavors.
Proposed Senior Space
Staff has held several discussions with the Senior commission to
pursue . their goal of obtaining the space as S00n as reasonably
possible. We have had Jack Anderson, who has worked with City Hall
in the past, develop two concepts for construction improvements to
this space for review and comment. Copies of Mr. Anderson's plans
are attached to this memo. Essentially, the space would be
developed so that it could accommodate up to 50 people sitting
around tables. This could accommodate the Chan Senior Club and the
tables could be folded to create space for other activities.
Additional space would be devoted to a small office that would be
used for programming and administration purposes and for a room
that could be closed off for meetings, craft activities and other
special activities. A small noncommercial kitchen area would be
provided. This is not intended to be for meal preparation as such
but would facilitate groups like the Chan Senior Club who would
offer coffee and cookies at their meetings.
One of the more expensive items to resolve is the fact that
bathrooms would need to be provided in an accessible manner.
Plumbing that has been designed into this space at this point in
\ time would result in the construction of bathrooms in a manner that
severely diminishes the size of the open room area that can be
provided. Therefore, it is necessary to consider reconfiguring the
plumbing so that the bathroom can be constructed inside a current
stairwell that exists there. The stair would be removed and faired
over since it is not needed to support City Hall activities at this
time. A further consideration is that a vestibule or air lock
needs to be provided. M+. Anderson has an alternative that shows
an external vestibule being constructed, which is probably the
ideal approach since it provides the air lock function and an area
to hang clothes. This vestibule is designed by Mr. Anderson to be
compatible with the ultimate expansion of city Hall. The vestibule
Park and Recreation Commission

e
would be identical to one which exists right now in front of the
current library and City Council Chamber space.
Costs for these improvements range from $140,000 to $172,000. This
includes some allocation for furnishings and, in my opinion, is
somewhat high and could be paired back. Mr. Anderson has indicated
that his initial estimates (outlined in an attached memo) are high
and could probably be refined. There are also other funding and
financial sources that need to be explored. For example, I believe
there is a very real possibility that between $20,000 to $40,000 of
CDBG block grant funding could be devoted towards the development
of this space. Additionally, the Mayor has expressed the desire to
see if costs could be cut through the use of volunteer
contributions in terms of labor and materials.
Center operations would be funded out of non-HRA sources. The Park
and Recreation Department is looking towards initiating a funding
allocation towards senior activities which could be used to provide
part-time support for these programs. In addition, we are looking
towards the possibility of using block grant funding to buy
professional services from Senior Community Services and this
organization has expressed an interest in participating with us in ~
this area. ..

Redevelopment Authority and has been amended for presentation to

RE:
Chanhassen Senior Center Study
(at City Hall Lower Level)
JEA Project No. 1004.1
Dear Sharmin:
e
During the past month of work on the project, we have developed two Schemes, A and B. As you know,
the existing lower level is quite limiting so we have concentrated on keeping the design efficient and
functional. Both schemes are quite similar, the major difference is that Scheme A has an exterior
vestibule added to the building, in keeping with the building master plan. From our design review
meeting, I have done further research on the project and in the following will review this with you.
First, I have reviewed the existing conditions and worked from Schemes A and B to pull together the
following costs:
Scheme A:
Construction cost
Architectural/Engineering fees
Furniture allowance
Subtotal
$145,000
17,000
10.000
172,000
Estimated Scheme A cost range = $160,000 - $185,000
Scheme B:
Construction cost
Architectural/Engineering fees
Furniture allowance
Subtotal
$118,000
14,000
9.500
141,500
Estimated Scheme B cost range = $130,000 - $155,000

The second item I would like to review is the building code, in particular, exiting. Note that both plans
require a second means of exiting due to occupant load. This will have to be separate from the Library /
Corridor exit and is -;.hown cn beth s-:hem€:.
Lastly, in reviewing parking requirements with the City Zoning Ordinance, I have determined a need
of 105 on site spaces. Based on my count, the existing spaces available on site are 80. We therefore have
a shor.tfal1 and should review the available options. The above estimates do not include anything for
additional parking.
If you have any questions, please cal1.

SENIOR NEEDS ASSESSMENT
SUMMARY REPORT
SEPTEMBER, 1990
I. BACKGROUND
In December of 1989, the City of Chanhassen's City Council commissioned a study
of the needs of retirement age adults for special services including, but not limited
to housing, transportation, information and referral, social and recreational services
and health services. The City appointed a special Task Force composed of
retirement age adults. The members of the Task Force were as follows:

One other person served to assist the Task Force, conferring with City Staff to help
select a Task Force member from St. Hubert's Catholic Church, the church in
Chanhassen with the largest proportion of senior parishioners. This was:
Father Barry Schneider
7707 Great Plains Boulevard
Chanhassen, MN 55317
The Task Force met seven times between January and September of 1990 and
worked with a consultant to conduct a study of the needs of area seniors. The e
study occurred in several stages. In the first stage, demographic data on
Chanhassen and surrounding communities were gathered. In addition, various
reports available from government bodies were used to identify the needs of area
residents as well as the resources available to meet these needs.
In the second stage of the study, the consultant interviewed ten experts in senior
services. Some of these experts were employees of social, government or private
agencies serving the elderly. Others were people who were retired and were
residents of the area. Using an open-ended interview guide, opinions and
information were gathered to help the Task Force gain some idea of current service
strengths and needs.
In the third stage of the study, residents of Chanhassen who were 55 years of age
or older were mailed a survey designed to gather their opinions on a variety of
issues. Results of the survey revealed that there were many adults who had retired
or were planning on retiring in the area and that they had very diverse service
needs.
Finally, in the last stage of the study, two discussion groups composed of retirement
age adults who resided in Chanhassen reacted to various issues posed by the
Task Force. These groups helped to prioritize the needs of senior adults and
verified some of the findings of the earlier research.

II. THE GROWING NEED FOR SENIOR SERVICES IN
CHANHASSEN
A major issue which served as the reason to initiate this study of area seniors in the
first place was the perceived growth in the number of retirement age adults in
Chanhassen. Demographic data, gathered from a national demographic company
which specializes in population projections between census collection years,
conclusively demonstrated rapid growth in the numbers of retirement age adults in
the area.
MAJOR FINDINGS:
1. Chanhassen currently has and is projected to have more adults over age 55
residing in it than any other area city with the exception of Eden Prairie.

4. The changes in the median income of this retirement age group of mature
adults reveals that they control considerable personal wealth and are
projected to be an affluent group. The median incomes of those in the 55-64
year old age group exceed state averages. These adults, when they retire,
will contribute to local trade and commerce in significant ways.

CHANHASSEN CITY SENIOR NEEDS ASSESSMENT
SUMMARY REPORT - SECOND DRAFT
e SEPTEMBER, 1990
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. The City of Chanhassen should develop a policy to provide guidance to its
development of services to mature adults over the next ten years. This
policy should articulate the City's appreciation for the contributions mature
adults make to the community both in terms of dollars spent in local
businesses and in terms of volunteer and community contribution efforts.
This policy should also address the service and support needs of this age
group and make a commitment to serve these citizens, many of whom are
long time residents of the City.
2. A permanent Senior Commission should be appointed to provide advocacy
for this age group, to provide guidance to funding efforts originating from the
City to serve this age group, to coordinate services with other government
and private agencies for this age group, to determine new and emerging
needs of this age group and to act in an advisory capacity to the City Council
in these matters.
III. SERVICE NEED:. TRANSPORTATION
e
As people age, certain public services increase in importance as supporting an
independent life style. Four different services are discussed in this report. This
section addresses the seniors' needs for transportation. As senior adults age, they
are either more reluctant to drive or become unable to drive. In order to remain
independent, they rely on various types of transportation services to convey them to
medical appointments, take them shopping or transport them to social and
recreational activities.
MAJOR FINDINGS:
1. There are many different types of transportation options offered to retirement
age adults in Chanhassen. They are sponsored both by public and private
organizations. Options include the following:
a. Carver Area Rural Transportation (C.A.R.T.), a county sponsored
service which uses a sliding fee scale and has as a priority
transportation of seniors and disabled adults to their medical
appointments.
MetroMobility, a Twin City wide service, partially funded by the United
Way and partially funded by the Regional Transit Board which
supplies lift vans to transport handicapped adults to destinations of
choice.

c. Southwest Metro Transit, a public service which offers both fixed route
buses from Cha'nhassen to Minneapolis and a portal to portal flexible
route system entitled Dial-A-Ride. Southwest Metro Transit is a transit
service funded by Chanhassen, Chaska and Eden Prairie.
d. Southshores Senior Center which offers a van which may be used to
support Center activities and a certain limited number of other uses,
such as trips to area shopping centers.
Although there are many options, in number, they all share some common
limitations. Many of these services are not offered in the evening or on week-
ends. Some of the services are very expensive (MetroMobility) and some
require a great deal 'of advance notice before they can be used.
Many area residents are not aware of any of these services and some are
aware of only a few. 50% of the respondents to a survey mailed to
Chanhassen residents over age 50 stated that they did not know which
transportation options were available to the residents of Chanhassen. Only
20% were aware of the Dial-A-Ride service while 35% knew about
Southwest Metro Transit. These were the two services of which residents
had the greatest knowledge. (NOTE: There were 256 respondents to the
survey, about 1/3 of the population to which the survey was mailed.)
e
R ECOMMEN DA TIONS:
1. The City of Chanhassen should play an active role in informino its residents
of the transportation options already available in the area. Since most
younger adults choose to use a private automobile for transportation, as
these adults age, they are less likely to have experienced a variety of
transportation options. Mature adults actually need to be taught how to use
public transportation and they also need to be informed of their choices.
This type of service could be planned cooperatively with some of the
transportation sponsors and also could be added to any information and
assistance function that the City may choose to create. For example, the City
could help sponsor a marketing campaign for the Dial-A-Ride service offered
by Southwest Metro Transit. It could also co-sponsor an information hotline
on transportation options.
The City of Chanhassen should decide what its role should be in
supplementing existing transportation services. Residents of the City would
like to see the service area for public transportation expanded, and would
also enjoy more evening and w~ekend options. The City could choose to.
purchase a van and work cooperatively with the other services to expand the
total transportation options available to its citizens.

3. The Board of Southwest Metro Transit should be asked to broaden their
service area. in order to include those destinations most used by mature
adults such as Southshores Senior Center and the Minnetonka Senior
Center. The Chanhassen Senior Commission should be charged by the
City Council to make specific recommendations for service area changes.
IV. SERVICE NEED: INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE
Mature adults become heavier service users as they age. Until this time, many
have not used social or health services extensively, and they are unfamiliar with
the sponsors of these services and don't know how to access them. Information
and referral services are intended to be the bridge which links a prospective
service user with a service sponsor. These types of services have become more
popular over the past decade. Probably the best known service sponsor for
information and referral is the United Way, which funds First Call for Help in many
communities across the country.
FINDINGS:
e
1.
As is similar with transportation, there are many existing information and
referral services available to the residents of Chanhassen. These include:
2.
. First Call for Help, which is offered throughout the Twin
City metro area.
. The Chaska Senior Center is offering a brochure of services
available to senior adults.
. The Carver County Social Service Department has a brochure
listing services. Public Health Nursing does referral as well.
. The Community Action Agency does community relations to
inform citizens of its services.
. Southwest Metro refers people to other bus services, if needed,
in order to assure they get the desired service.
Please note, the words "Information and Referral" are different from
"Information and Assistance". Some of these agencies take a more pro-
active counseling role with their clients, helping to connect them with the
service. This is providing "assistance". Others take a less active role, giving
the client phone numbers and names to call on their own. This is "referral".
Although there are many services, none are comprehensive in that they refer
the caller to any and all kinds of services. Each of the service sponsors
tends to be more knowledgeable about selected services which are similar
to the services they offer, rather than the entire array of services. Senior
adults are confused about who to call for what.

e
3. Senior adults are not likely to plan in advance for services which they will
need as they age. These needs are usually generated by a crisis. Thus, it is
difficult to teach people which service options are available until they are
ready to learn, and often this readiness commences when they are in the
middle of a crisis. A crisis is not a good time to learn. People need more
than information at these times; they also need an advisor to help them
make the service connection.
4. The United Way is attempting to develop a more comprehensive information
and referral service for senior adults in selected areas throughout the Metro
area. Chanhassen possibly could be a test site for such a service.
5. Printed information, such as that included in directories and brochures,
tends to get outdated quickly and needs to be distributed in such a way to
permit constant updating.
6.
56% of the mature adults who responded to a mailed survey stated they
would be most likely to call Chanhassen City Hall or City Administration to
obtain information on services offered to retirement age adults if they wanted
to locate this type of information. Currently, the City does not have any
resources targeted to meet this need.
e
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. The City of Chanhassen should offer information and assistance services to
its residents, either cooperatively with other agencies or singly through the
City Hall. Options should be explored with other agencies to assure that
access to this service is simplified for all City residents and that the service
itself is comprehensive in scope.
The "information" function should be augmented with an "assistance"
function, so that those senior adults who need more help than a simple
referral to a phone number and agency name receive the service they need.
This assistance function may consist of simple counseling or more complex
care management, as the City determines is needed.

2. The City should explore the feasibility of working with other organizations,
such as the United Way, to maintain a computer database of services for
senior adults. Access to a centrally maintained database would assure
constant updating of the information yet would also offer local access for the
Chanhassen user. Working with other agencies would serve to reduce
costs, would avoid duplication and would trade on the expertise of the
organization who has developed the database.
Access to a database which is constantly updated would be a major help to
any City sponsored Information and Assistance service. The database could
also be used as a resource to permit the City to print brochures detailing
services available to mature adults in Chanhassen.
3.
The City should put together a distribution plan to assure that information
on services is circulated to mature adults through several vehicles. At a
minimum, the City should have a brochure listing locally available services
for senior adults. This booklet should be updated frequently and could be
offered both by the City and other local organizations, such as Welcome
Wagon.
The City could also offer an information hotline, to answer the questions of
its citizens who are interested in locating services. The hotline could be
staffed by mature adults residents of Chanhassen, along with paid staff.
Other services the City could sponsor could include offering a library of
video tapes and informational booklets to teach its residents about the
various types of services which can be made available to adults as they age.
e
V. SERVICE NEED: INDEPENDENCE IN THE HOME
As mature adults age, the same household chores and maintenance activities
which were previously performed with ease become increasingly onerous. One of
the main reasons that mature adults relocate housing is to reduce the amount of
outdoor work and maintenance that they are required to perform on their homes.
As the senior adult continues to age, they are more likely to be widowed.- Living
alone in a larger home can be taxing to physical strength, psychological well-being
and finances. In spite of these drawbacks, many senior prefer to remain in their
own homes as long as possible. Services which support a quality of life at home
are important to maintain this type of lifestyle.

SUMMARY REPORT . SECOND DRAFT
SEPTEMBER, 1990
e
MAJOR FINDINGS:
1. Although many agencies offer some of the various services which help
mature adults remain longer in their own homes, no one organization has
made a commitment to helping seniors remain independent in their own
homes as long as possible. This means that there are service gaps in home'
chore services and home maintenance services.
3.
According to the mailed survey, about 30% of mature adults over age 50
currently obtain help for chores such as yardwork and home repair from
either family/friends or by hiring the help. 17% obtain help with heavy
housework such as washing floors or windows.
2. Two groups of mature adults who are residents of Chanhassen discussed
this subject and agreed that it was difficult to locate quality help at affordable
prices. Currently, they locate this type of help by word of mouth or through
resources such as the Skills Bank Program offered by the Minnetonka
Community Services Department. Assistance with outdoor chores and
home repair is the help that is most needed.
Expanded transportation options become very important when a senior adult
can no longer drive. These options are essential to keeping seniors healthy
and in their own homes. Their homes may be located several miles from
shopping, church, health services, recreational opportunities and city
services. If these short commutes are not supported by local transportation
options, they have no choice except to relocate.
e
4. Some health services help keep seniors in their own homes by offering
assistance to one senior who might be caring for another senior, such as a
wife who is caring for a frail husband. Some examples of services which are
supportive to a homebound adult caregiver are meals delivered to the home,
adult day care and respite care. These are services to which many mature
adults have never been exposed. They need counseling and advice to help
them decide which services could best support their desire to remain at
home. .
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.
The City of Chanhassen should assure the adequate provision of services to .
its residents which help them maintain an independent life style in the home
of their choice. The adoption of this mission by the City provides a focus
around which it can organize its mature adults programming. Since there
are no other organizations with this mission in the area, the City can offer a
unique forum in which this issue can be discussed and other agencies
solicited for their cooperation.

2. The City of Chanhassen should assure the adeQuate provision of home
chore and maintenance services to its residents. Lower cost programs, such
as the "HOME" Program in Bloomington could serve as a model. These
services not only assure a high quality of housing stock for area residents
but also provide a greatly needed service for seniors.
If these services do not currently exist, the City should act to attract or initiate
these services. The City might also offer a directory of businesses or
persons who offer chore and home repair help. It could also examine and
certify them to assure the quality of their work and the fairness of their fee
structure.
e
3. The City of Chanhassen should work with Carver County to assure that
Chanhassen residents have ample access to counseling and case
management services which can help them plan for their own aging and/or
the aging of a significant other such as a spouse. If Carver County cannot
meet the current demand for these types of services, the City should look at
ways in which expanded services could be offered to area residents.
Affordable and accessible goods and services help maintain seniors in their
own homes. The availability of a maior supermarket and a discount
department store in Chanhassen would support an improved quality of life
for those Chanhassen residents who are not able to shop outside of the
community. The City is encouraged to develop these types of retail
operations within Chanhassen.
4.
VI. SERVICE NEED~ SOCIAL AND RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS
The term "seniors" is somewhat misleading, as it appears to connote that all older
adults are alike in their needs and wants. Within the older adult group are many
subgroups. Older adults range in age from 55 to 105, a span of 50 years. While
most people would never assume that the needs and desires of people age 5 to 55
are similar, they do assume that the needs of older adults are similar.
Nowhere is this more apparent than when exploring the social and recreational
preferences of mature adults. While the persons who are age 55-74 are more
likely to name outdoor activities, trips, sports and fitness events as preferred
recreation, those that are over age 75 are more likely to list dinners, card playing
and other social gatherings as preferred activities.

e
MAJOR FIN DINGS:
1. The mature adult population in Chanhassen represents a wide range of
ages and interests. This population is not homogeneous in its expressed
needs for social and recreational opportunities. When the mature adult
population of Chanhassen was surveyed and asked to suggest two services
or activities they would like to see available to them in the City, they
responded as follows (only top ten answers are listed below):
Physical fitness, gymnastics, etc.
Crafts
Dining, Meals, Congregate Dining
Educational Programs
Tax, bookkeeping assistance
Social activities (various)
Card Games
Information and Referral
Swimming Pool
Travel Club, Trips

10.2%
8.6%
7.8%
5.9%
5.9%
5.5%
5.5%
5.1%
3.5%
The survey results, as well as the two discussion groups, reinforced the
finding that mature adults are lifelong learners, desiring intellectual and
physical stimulation in their recreational and social programs.
2. The Chanhassen Senior Club offers a very limited array of activities to
senior residents of Chanhassen. There is weekly card playing and an
occasional trip. Part of the limitation is due to the physical plant in which the
Club activities are located, the grade school, which is available only on a
limited basis.
e
3. There are two other Senior Centers located close to Chanhassen, one in
Excelsior and one in Chaska. Both sponsor activities for senior adults.
While the Chanhassen seniors attend activities sponsored by both
organizations, they state a preference for attending activities closer to home.
4. Volunteerism is an important social and recreational opportunity for mature
adults. 46% of the adults survey reported helping organizations by
volunteering during the past 12 months. On the average, those who
volunteer donate more than 10 hours per month to various community
organizations including churches, schools, membership organizations such
as Rotary, service organizations such as the Red Cross and senior clubs
and centers.
e
14
J. M. RESEARCH ,",~SOCIATES, INC.
CHANHASSEN CITY SENIOR NEEDS ASSESSMENT
SUMMARY REPORT . SECOND DRAFT
e SEPTEMBER, 1990
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. The City of Chanhassen should employ a skilled staff person who could
initiate programs to serve the senior adults of Chanhassen. A part of this
staff person's responsibility should be the recruitment and coordination of
volunteer efforts within the Chanhassen community.
2. The City staff person should initiate cooperative proQramminQ with other
government and private organizations who are dedicated to offering social
and recreational opportunities to mature adults. This could include Carver
County, the Southshores Senior Center located in Excelsior and the Chaska
Focal Senior Center located in Auburn Manor. Some of these activities
should be inter-generational in nature.
3.
Senior Club activities should be supported by the City. Although the current
Senior Club in Chanhassen offers a limited program, Le. cardplaying, which
is attractive to a limited number of seniors, it meets important socialization
needs of the older senior group. Other clubs and groups should be initiated
and supported as well. This means that some alternative space options are
needed if senior recreational and social activities are to be enlarged to :
better serve a variety of needs. The City should help these Clubs locate
alternative space and support recruitment and organizational activities.
e
VII. THE NEED FOR A SENIOR CENTER
Many communities have found that the number and variety of services offered to
their senior residents has created a need for a dedicated space in which to house
the services. Congregate dining, as an example, requires kitchen and dining
facilities. Crafts and fitness activities require special equipment and storage space.
Information and referral services require staff and computer support.
Transportation planning and coordination requires staff and office space. In
addition to the need for space, programs targeting mature adults appear to benefit
from sharing a common location since there is some synergy created by staff
sharing ideas, referrals and cooperating on meeting common needs. There are
also some efficiencies created by housing many programs on one site.
e
Some communities locate these senior activities, services and programs in a free-
standing building which is called a Senior Center. Oth,ers locate programs in
shared space, such as the Chaska Senior Center, which is in the lower level of a
Board and Care facility called Auburn Manor. Still others share space within a
community facility such as Minnetonka, where the Senior Center is located within
the new Civic Center. There are many ways to support a Senior Center within a
community.

e
MAJOR FINDINGS:
1. There currently is no Senior Center in Chanhassen. There is a Senior Club
which meets 3 hours a week on Thursdays at the local grade school to play
cards. There is a Senior Center in nearby Chaska and Excelsior. Both of
these Centers report serving Chanhassen residents.
2. City Planning Staff have been unable to locate alternative, affordable space
for the expansion of senior activities in Chanhassen. The space and times
offered by the grade school are extremely limited and likely to grow more
limited in the future.
3. It is not clear whether the City will build a Civic Center or not. This issue is
apparently controversial and support for the Center is mixed.
4. When mature adults in Chanhassen were surveyed about their support for a
Civic Center, and their support for a Senior Center within it, they responded
as follows:
Are community centers a useful addition
to a City?
Would you support including a Senior
Center within it?
Yes -78.1%
e
Yes - 75.4%
5. Mature adults were asked about the governance structure for any new
Senior Center, both in the mailed survey and in the two discussion groups.
They responded by suggesting that professional staff should be used, along
with senior volunteers, to create and manage the programming but that the
staff should operate under the direction of a Senior Center Council. The
persons appointed to the Council should be mature adults who are residents
of Chanhassen.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. The City of Chanhassen should create a Senior Center to serve as a central
location for the services offered to its mature adult residents. There are two
space options to consider for this Center. The Center could be a free-
standing space, in a building devoted exclusively to serving the needs of
senior adults. The Center could also be coordinated with Civic Center
development, "if the City should choose to fund such a Center.

SUMMARY REPORT - SECOND DRAFT
SEPTEMBER, 1990
In the latter case, if a Civic Center were built, the Senior Center planning
and design should be developed in tandem with the Civic Center. This
would include attention to architectural design which recognizes the
physical limitations of older adults, transportation planning with the needs of
older adults kept in mind and space planning which would provide adequate
facilities to support senior services and programs.
2. The present need for a Center is so great that the City should act
immediately to arrange interim Center services for its residents. The
Southshores Senior Center has expressed interest in meeting Chanhassen
residents' needs either through its current location or through some type of
branch offige. These measures, however, are only stopgap measures and at
no time should this type of arrangement be viewed as a long term
arrangement.
3.
The City of Chanhassen should ask the Senior Commission of Chanhassen
to devise a governance structure for the Senior Center. This should include
recommending the composition and number on a Senior Center Advisory
Council. The Council should report to the Commission, which would be
advised by it. The Council should be composed of retirement age adults,
continuing the laudable practice initiated by this research project of
appointing mature adults to recommend services for mature adults.
4. The Senior Center should be centrally located offering easy access by
public transportation to all the citizens of Chanhassen. It should have a
kitchen so that activities which require food facilities could be offered. It
should be modern and attractive in decor, so it would be appealing to those
mature adults who are pre-retirement age. It should include expansion
space, as the mature adult population is expected to continue to grow.
.e
VIII. FUTURE NEED: SENIOR HOUSING
Housing which is devoted solely to mature adults is a relatively recent
phenomenon. As the senior population across the country has continued to grow.
and as this population controls more discretionary income than any other age
group, a variety of new services have emerged to meet the needs of an expanding
market. Senior housing is a generic term which is used to label many differing
types of architectural designs and many different types of financing arrangements.
In general, senior housing targets mature adults over age 55 and offers some
services which are commonly needed and used by seniors on premises.

MAJOR FINDINGS:
1. There is no housing in Chanhassen that is devoted to serving mature adults
over the age of 55. Some senior housing is available in the adjacent
suburbs of Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins and Chaska.
2. Almost 2/3 of the mailed survey respondents had lived in Chanhassen over
20 years. 55% were retired and planning to continue to live in Chanhassen
and 31 % were not yet retired but planning on staying in Chanhassen after
retirement. As the number of retired mature adults increases in .
Chanhassen, so will the need for housing options to permit the retiree to
relocate from their larger, more expensive homes into smaller, more
affordable housing.
3. Mature adults who were invited to the two group discussions expressed
strong concerns about increases in property taxes for people living on fixed
incomes, stating that these increases were forcing them to sell property and
to relocate. Since there are no affordable options in Chanhassen, some
were shopping outside the City even though they would prefer to remain in
it.
4.
tit
Seniors are unable to find many living options within Chanhassen in which
the housing is on a single level (no stairs) and in which there is access to the
housing from an outside entrance. These are the most appealing options to
the participants in the group discussions. Cost of housing was also an issue
for these groups.
5. A new program called Share-A-Home is offered in the County. This program
matches a single older homeowner with a younger adult tenant who
provides services to the older person in exchange for a room. These
services usually consist of chore and maintenance services. Lutheran
Social Services does the matching of program participants. The program
serves a very limited number of senior adults.
R ECOMMEN DA TIONS:
1.
\
The City of Chanhassen should sponsor a comprehensive needs analysis of
the housing needs of its retirement age residents. This would permit the City
to plan housing options which would meet the future needs of its citizens.
The needs analysis should include activities to identify possible funding
sources for the housing as well as possible housing developers. This
information would permit a comprehensive plan for the future to be
developed.

2. The City should serve as a catalyst to assure that affordable and accessible
housinQ options are developed, as needed, to meet the demand for senior
housing.
3. Housing options should keep in mind that seniors desire an independent life
style. Thus, housing should be located close to services. shopping and
transportation. This will need to be kept in mind as the City selects sites for
development.

Okteberfest Evaluatien
SUBJ:
Chanhassen's annual Okteberfest has cencluded fer anether year.
The weather ceuldn't have been '1,Q.ere ideal with the temperature
reaching the mid-60's.
The feed and beer cencessiens provided by the Chanhassen Liens was
steady, but net everly busy. Tbe fOpd served censisted ef brats,
hamburgers, sauerkraut, German .and regular petate salad . with this
variety, nebedy walked away frem the line hungry. Beer sales were
up frem last year, which canibe attributed to. the nice weather.
Last year the temperature wasiquite a bit ceeler than the pleasant
autumn night ef this year. The Liens.' needed electricity fer 4
reasters, 1 ceffee pet and the beer t;railer. . Their electrical
needs were accemmedated bxebtaining thEfelectrical layeut ef City
Hall and staggering the pewer input frelll..the reasters, ceffee pet
and beer trailer. By using eutlets that were en different circuit
breakers, eur chances fer having electrid~l preblems was lessened
dramatically. The enly suggestien to. impreve the Liens'
cencessiens is to. offe.r caf~.ein~. ~:r.~~.pep~nd nen-alcehelic beer.
Residents were asking abeut>thetwe, so. we knew there is a demand.
Retary Binge had participants ready to. play

The games fer the kids spensered by the Chanhassen Snewmebile Club
were well received and had lets ef participants. The games started
at 4:00 p.m. and ended areund 8:30 p.m. The game area was really

their luck at winning a prize. In talking with the snowmobile
club, it sounded like their sales increased over the previous year.
Adventure Balloons entertained hundreds of people as they displayed
the various steps of inflating a hot air balloon. The weather was
ideal, which allowed steve Cobb with Adventure Balloons the
opportunity to give rides to the eager watchers. The balloon was
anchored to various objects which allowed it to go up and down
without floating away. People waited in line for over an hour in
the hopes of receiving a free balloon ride. The hot air balloon
display added excitement and a sense of fascination as everyone
gathered around. steve is more than happy to provide his hot air
balloon for display. The City of Chanhassen is very fortunate to
have such a great contact in our own backyard.
The different special interest groups answered any questions
pertaining to their upcoming events and promotions. The Chanhassen
Senior Commission passed out literature from area services and
informed interested citizens about the new senior center in City
Hall. The ChanjChaska Soccer Club operated the Jacob's ladder
which entertained one and all. The soccer club also sold pumpkin
insurance which could be purchased to protect your pumpkin(s) from
theft or vandalism. If your pumpkin(s) should disappear before ..
October 30, 1991, you can receive a replacement at no additional ~
charge. The ChanjChaska Soccer Club is raising funds to take a
trip to Europe next summer. .
Information for the Chanhassen Arts Organization was distributed to
people stopping by their booth. The Arts organization is being
formed to promote to the community the different art opportunities
in Chanhassen. The overall goal of the organization is to form a
festival which will include an arts and crafts show, performances
by different music groups and much, much more.
Caramel apple sales by the Chanhassen city staff went well for
their first year. Once everyone went through the Lions' food line,
they saved room for caramel apples for dessert. The busiest time
was between 5: 00 p. m. and 7: 30 p. m. After these times, sales
dropped slightly. All employees that helped out with the caramel
apples did a great jOb.
The street dance featured. Chuck Thiel and the Jolly Ramblers.
Their variety of music kept the crowd dancing all night. The
band's electrical needs were satisfied by running electrical cords
for their equipment and lights from an outlet by the main upper
doors of City Hall. Next year a bigger stage and dance area is
desired. Once the tables and chairs were set up, it made the dance
area somewhat cramped. A different arrangement and layout would ..
help the situation and will be looked at. ~

A new addition to this year's Oktoberfest was a face painter. Pat
Maund, a face painter from Chaska,set up her own table and painted
the children's faces. The children were not charged for the
service because of the arrangement that was worked out ahead of
time. The City of Chanhassen paid Pat and her assistant a flat fee
for their services, which, in return, the face painting was free of
charge. The response was tremendous to the face painting. The
lines were very busy during the two hours for which they were
hired.
The Oktoberfest celebration was fortunate this year to have local
residents donate a good portion of the decorations. Oimler Farms
donated 30 nice pumpkins and Mike Klingelhutz donated a pickup
truck full of cornstocks, which added a nice autumn touch to ,the
celebration. The generosity of these individuals is very much
appreciated and added a nice touch of community involvement to this
special event.
e
Looking at the electrical needs of all the groups ahead of time was
really important. Planning ahead surely mitigated any serious
electrical problems. As always, there was a shortage of electrical
cords. More should be obtained by requiring all groups to provide
a good portion of the cords for their needs. There was a shortage
of tables, but everything worked out ok. Next year additional
banquet tables will be needed to satisfy the needs of Oktoberfest.
If possible, it would be nice to get a bigger tent to cover a
larger area of the lower parking lot. Perhaps a 60 x 100 foot tent
could be looked at and priced to see what the advantages are.
The overall crowd attending Oktoberfest was down from the previous
year. In 1990, the Oktoberfest celebration was on Friday night
from 5:00 p.m. to midnight. The Friday night Oktoberfest would be
more convenient and would attract more residents and non-residents
passing through town on their way home from work. The local
industries and other people working in Chanhassen that do not live
in Chanhassen are more apt to stay for the celebration Friday night
than come back Saturday night. Having the celebration on Friday
would be wiser in regard to setting up the event. with Oktoberfest
on Saturday, there is only so much you can do the day before. The
table and chairs, decorations, etc. cannot be set up overnight with
the fear that something may happen to the equipment and supplies.
Time would be used more efficiently if all the set up work could be
done all at once instead of spreading it out over two days. The
Oktoberfest celebration would have more community involvement if it
were to be held on Friday night instead of Saturday.
e
The annual Oktoberfest celebration ran very smoothly. The success
can be credited to the organization and cooperation of all groups
that were involved.

As the commission is aware, the dedication celebration for the new
playground was held on wednesday afternoon, October 16th. The park
maintenance crew worked on completing the north playground for the
past three and one-half weeks: They did a terrific job; but
unfortunately, having to complete this project kept them from
performing other fall work. It has been communicated to Mr. Carl
Mattson, head custodian for the school, that daily maintenance of
the playground will be the responsibility of the school.

the shelter. This re-biddin.I;J..,procesEi ,1iJ<.elYito take place in
February of 1992, would result ~n a/fall completion date.
If this scenario occurs, it will be recommended that the City
Council award the utilities contract on October 28th. This would
allow for excavation to occur this fall, instead of next spring
amidst all the ball players and spectators.

Ref: Bid Opening
Lake Ann Park utilities
City Project No. RA-II0
VHS Project NO. 91-319
Dear Todd:
Bids were opened for the project of Tuesday October 8, 1991 at 9:00
AM. Eight bids were received ranging from a low bid of $108,057.44
to a high bid of $231,357.00. The Engineers estimate for the
project is $133,480.00. There were a cluster of four bids between
$113,395.16 and $117,956.00 indicating a very competitive bidding
climate. This represents a good bid for the City.
The low bid was by B & D Underground, Inc. of Maple Plain,
Minnesota. B & D Underground has been in business for 15 years and ~
reports a construction volume of approximately one million dollars
annually for the past 3 years. Their main business practice is the
installation of sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water main systems
and facilities. The subcontractors to be used on the project have
yet to be determined by B & D, but would be needed for roadway and
trail paving and restoration (seeding and sodding).
B & D Underground has satisfactorily completed projects of at least
this size in the City of Chanhassen in the past. The projects
involved utilities and streets in the South Shore Drive area at the
South Lotus Lake boat access and the Minnewashta Meadows
subdivision. Our reference checking has also verified they have
completed projects to the satisfaction of representatives of
Medina, New Hope and Orono, to name a few.
We recommend award of bid to B & D Underground, Inc. in the amount
of $108,057.44 for the Lake Ann Park Utilities, City Project No.
RA-110. The Contractor is prepared to begin work immediately upon
authorization.
Sincerely,
VAN DOREN-HAZARD-STALLINGS, INC.

Dear Tony:
Needless to say, I was pleasantly shocked upon receiving your
donation to the Chanhassen Park and Recreation Department. It is
practically unheard of to receive back a contribution of this
magnitude from a former seasonal employee. My first thought was
that simply having the opportunity to work directly and indirectly ~
with you over the past five summers was pleasure enough. I have ,.,
always considered you an exemplary employee, having great
confidence in your ability and intuition. . Your action of giving
back in this manner only furthers my respect for you.
Good luck with your work at Franciscan University and thank you
again.
Sincerely,
~~
Todd Hoffman
Park and'Recreation Coordinator

Facts:
A woman was injured when she drove
her snowmobile over the side of a
railroad tresde owned by a railroad
company. The woman claimed she had
never been on the trail before, and did
not realize she was on a railroad tresde.
The tresde was not barricaded and
contained neither warnings nor' 'no
trespassing" signs.
The woman claimed the railroad
company was negligent in failing to
warn of hidden or known dangers,
maintain its property, and warn tres-
passers about dangerous conditions on
its property. The trial court granted the
railroad. company's motion for sum-
mary judgment, and found the com-
pany owed no duty of care to the
woman.
Decision and analysis:
The court of appeals reversed the trial
court's decision. Restatement of Torts
335 states, in effect, that a landowner is
subject to liability for bodily harm
caused to trespassers' if the condition is
one the possessor has created, it is
. likely to cauSe death or serious bodily
harm, it is of such a nature that the
possessor has reason to believe trespass-
ers will not discover it, and the posses-
sor has failed to exercise reasonable
care in warning trespassers of the con-
dition involved.
The court found that a plaintiff
doesn't need to show the landowner
actually knew about the dangerous con-
dition, but only that the landowner
should have realized the potential dan-
ger. Here, the woman raised a genuine
issue of fact about whether the railroad
company failed to exercise reasonable
care to warn trespassers about the tres-
de. The court sent the case back for a
trial on the merits. (Nokmd v. Soo Line
Ro.ilroad Company, Finance and Com-
merce, Court of Appeals Opinions,
August 2, 1991).
Indiana's public indecency
law does not violate the
First Amendment
Facts:
Two Indiana establishments, the Kitty
Kat Lounge, Inc. and Glen Theatre,
Inc., wished to provide both totally
nude dancing and live entertainment.
The live entertainment would consist of
nude and seminude performances and
showings of the female body through
glass panels. Indiana has a statute regu-
lating public nudity, by requiring that the
dancers wear "pasties" and a "G-string"
when they dance.
The two establishments brought suit,
claiming that the prohibition against
complete nudity in public places vio-
lated the First Amendrrient. The court
held that the nude dancing involved
here was not expressive conduct. The
court of appeals reversed, ruling that
