Park will, at the time of .
development, provide recreational _
opportunities for residents of
the proposed Lake Riley Hills plat.
However, only adults or children
accompanied by adults could
safely negotiate a pedestrian route
between this subdivision and the
Bandimere property.
BACKGROUND
The Commission initially reviewed this item at the August 21, 1990
meeting. Mark Koegler presented the item that evening. Upon
conclusion of commission discussion, a motion was made which
generally confirmed Mr. Koegler I s recommendation (see enclosed
minutes) .
Since that time, Engelhardt and Associates, Inc., the engineering
firm for this project, has been in contact with the city to express
concern over the recommended location of the proposed park. It is
their position that the area north of Outlot C contains some of the
most desirable lots in this plat in regards to sight lines to Lake
Riley, overall position within the sUbdivision, etc. They are also
concerned that the grade in this area would not be appropriate for
facilities proposed for this park. In reviewing this plat, it is
evident that these positions are valid to a certain degree and
staff is not opposed to investigating alternative sites for park
land.
e
Further conversations with representatives of Engelhardt and
Associates centered on finding a location for a park which met the
needs of all parties. Engelhardt and Associates proposed Lots 1,
2, 3 and 4, Block 3 and Outlots A and B be designated as park land.
This location did not offer much in the category of '''desirable
factors". It would not provide enough flat area for an open field,
it contains considerable slopes and drainageways, the configuration
of the lots is not conducive for park use, it is separated into two
segments by a very narrow strip of land, it lies next to Lyman
Boulevard and it is isolated from the main body of the subdivision.
Engelhardt Associates, Inc. agreed that an alternate location would
serve better as a park. It was at this time that the area around
Lots 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26, Block 3 were discussed. This area
offers numerous benefits over the others being considered. It is
situated on high ground with insignificant slopes, the area is in
the interior of the proposed subdivision and would provide a
pleasing sense of open space for the residents living there. The
site is also situated on North Road which will provide future
access to the east and west. Initial conversations with Engelhardt
and Associates, Inc. identified Lots 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26 as
potential park land. The site plan attached originally identified
these five lots as park land. In consultation with Mark Koegler,
it was determined that including Lot 21 would be beneficial to the
development of the park and allow for additional buffer area
between park facilities and adjoining Lots 20 and 27. Thus the
plan now shows Lot 21 to be included in the proposed park land

dedication. Mr. John Klingelhutz, the applicant, has also been in
contact with me concerning this subdivision. Mr. Klingelhutz
initially was somewhat opposed to the dedication of park land. In
concluding our conversation, he said he would like to review the
proposal, but seemed open to the issue of land dedication.
In conversations with both Mr. Klingelhutz and Engelhardt and
Associates, the topic of sidewalks along North Road and West Road
was discussed. It is apparent that pedestrian walkways in these
locations would prove beneficial. Mark Koegler also mentioned the
need for sidewalks along these routes when reviewing this new
location for the proposed park.
RECOMMENDATION
Progress in solidifying negotiations to meet the recreational needs
created by this development is significant. city Code allows for
a requirement of 2.76 acres of land be dedicated for park purposes
in the development of parcel II. Parcel I will be considered
separately in the event of future development. Lots 21, 22, 23,
24, 25 and 26 consist of 2.26 acres which represents 82% of the
requirement. Therefore, it is recommended that the Park and
Recreation Commission require Lots 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26, Block
3, Parcel II be dedicated as park land. As part of this
dedication, the applicant will prepare the site according to a
grading plan provided by the city. In return for this dedication,
the applicant will receive a $410.00 credit on park fees for each
lot. The remaining $90.00 per lot to be collected as part of the
building permit process. It is further recommended that the
applicant construct. a 5 ft. wide concrete sidewalk along North Road
and West Road in lieu of trail fees.

Acquisition of Handicapped Accessible Playground
Equipment
As a result of recent conversations with Planning Director Paul
Krauss and subsequent action by the City Council, the city has the
opportunity to purchase and install handicapped accessible
playground equipment in a Chanhassen park. The specific details
which created this opportunity ..are outlined in the attached report
from Paul Krauss. The City Council approved this item with the
stipulation that the Park and Recreation commission determine the
most appropriate location to install this equipment (see attached
City Council minutes). The original proposal called for the
installation of the equipment at Lake Susan Park. An alternative
site at Lake Ann Park was discussedl:>y the City Council. In
narrowing the field of choices to three,> the most logical sites for
this type of equipment would be: 1) near the picnic shelter and
existing play structure at Lake Susan Park; 2) near the ballfield
concession stand and existing play structure at Lake Ann Park; or
3) near the swimming beach and play equipment at Lake Ann Park.
It is anticipated thatadditiona.lfundsfor the expansion of this
play structure will be · available .... .infutur~years. In order to
accommodate an expansion, the issue of space limitations must be
addressed as well. The two locations at Lake Ann are somewhat
limited in space. Of the <two, the ballfield location contains
considerably more open area. Lake .... Susan. Park contains the most
open area of the three sites.
The proximity of accessible parking and restroom facilities and the
length and grade of any paved trails connecting these amenities
must also be considered. Currently only Lake Susan Park contains
modern restroom facilities.
Realizing that upon completion of Lake Susan Park the use of that
facility will be as intensive as that at Lake Ann Park and further
Park and Recreation Commission
september 17, 1990

recognizing that the picnic shelter and restrooms at Lake Susan
will draw a considerable amount of use from. large family and
company picnics , it is staff I s recommendation to install the
handicapped accessible equipment at Lake Susan Park.
Note:
The total amount available for this purchase is
$5,898.00. Mark Koegler is currently seeking bids for
this equipment.

SUBJ:
Resolution to CODsider the Reallocation of Community
Development Block Grant Funds.from Year XV
Early last spring, staff made the City Council aware of the fact
that $17,148 had been allocated in Year XV Block Grant Funds for
the rehabilitation of private property. This was a single family
rehab program designed to help low income homeowners make
improvements to their property such as those related to energy
efficiency and structural condition. Last spring staff indicated
that although the funds had been available for 1~ years, there had
been no applications for them. Block grant funds are only
allocated for a limited duration and if they are not used at the
end of that time they are lost. Staff discussed with City Council
the possibility of reallocation of those funds. The Council asked
staff to readvertise the program to ensure that every effort was
made to find eligible candidates. The program was readvertised in
both the Villager and Sailor Newspapers in May; however, ultimately
no new applications were received. In discussions with Hennepin
County Block Grant staff, we speculated that this is likely due to
the fact that virtually all Chanhassen property owners exceed the
income criteria which .is established for the use of block grant
funds.
Since it is now clear that the funds will- not be used for their
intended purpose, it is important that the City Council consider
reallocation of those funds so that the community does not lose
them. We have discussed this matter at a staff level to develop a
revised block grant program. The Council must be aware that the
number and range of programs that are fundable under block grant
guidelines is extremely limited. The program is targeted at low
income, elderly and handicapped programs and facilities and other
selected categories. ' Staff is proposing that the $17,148 be
reapportioned as follows:
e
Mr. Don Ashworth
September 6, 1990
e Page 2
1. Under a different block grant category, the city had
allocated $7,500 in block grant funds for handicapped
access at Lake Susan Park. The intent was that this be
used to provide a handicapped accessible fishing pier
similar to the one that was recently in?talled at Lake
Ann. We find that the actual cost of a suitable pier is
significantly more than the $7,500 that had been
allocated. An 84 ft. long fishing pier constructed by
Minnesota Correctional Industries will cost the city
$18,750. Therefore, staff is proposing that $11,250 of
the rehab funds be reallocated and combined with the
$7,500 funds already appropriated to allow for the
purchase of the fishing pier.
Staff is proPQsing that the remaining $9,648 be
reallocated to acquire handicapped accessible playground
equipment for Lake Susan Park. This equipment would be
utilizable by both handicapped and able-bodied children
and would compliment equipment already in place at the
park. A bituminous sidewalk and ramping will be provided
to this play area to provide access to it. Staff has
asked Mark Koegler to investigate a preliminary design
for the facility. At that time we believed we had a
balance of $6,000 to spend on the program but find that
the actual dollar amount is $9,648. Therefore, the plan
has been provided by Mr. Koegler can be expanded upon and
we anticipate that it would be to ensure that the city
gets full value out of the block grant funding.
2.
While both funding programs are targeted for handicapped
individuals, we note that they are fully utilizable by able-bodied
persons as well. Therefore, we believe that these programs are
somewhat unique in that they provide full value to the entire
community as well as allowing the community to offer innovative
facilities for individuals with specialized needs. Staff. is
recommending that the City Council approve the attached resolution
so that the funds may be reallocated and equipment acquired.

SUBJ:
CDBG Update/Resolution for Recertification of Joint
Cooperation Agreement with Hennepin County
I have attached a copy of the 1990 Urban Hennepin County
Subrecipient Monitoring Report for the programs ongoing in the City
of Chanhassen, up to June 1990. The report is fairly straight
forward and simply reiterates the status of our ongoing projects.
As you are aware, work of the Senior Study is continuing at a rapid e
rate and we are proceeding towards our goal of reporting back to
the City Council late this summer. In addition, we have reserved
approximately $26,000 of Year XVI funding for as yet unspecified
senior activities. It is expected that proposals for expenditure
funds for senior related programs and capital expenditures will be
made along with the completed Senior Needs study.
We reported to the City Council in April that some $17,000 had been
allocated in previous years for the housing rehabilitation fund
have not been expended. Staff discussed this matter with Hennepin
County staff and concluded that although it appeared as. though
there was no demand for the funding, it had not been advertised
recently. Prior to requesting a reallocation of these funds we
wanted to give the program a fair shot and work with both
newspapers to get articles printed explaining it. The program does
have extraordinarily stiff qualification requirements. It may in
fact simply be irrelevant of virtually all housing in Chanhassen.
I recently contacted Hennepin County staff and they indicated that
although the articles generated a few phone calls, no one appeared
to be serious in pursuing grant funding that was available. If
there are no positive responses by July 1st, staff will ask the
Council to consider reallocation of the funding.
The last item pertaining to the CDBG program is that the annual
certification for Hennepin County to act on behalf of the City _
expires on September 30th. As the City Council may be aware, WI'
Chanhassen is a highly unusual case in that we are covered by the
.
e
e
Don Ashworth

Hennepin County program, although obviously only a very small
portion of our co~~unity is contained within it. This has proven
to have tremendous advantages for the City since we become eligible
for CDBG funding as an urban community with all of the paper work
handled by Hennepin County. In addition as an urban community,
Hennepin County has guaranteed funding under the program. Were we
to opt out, we would have to rely on our own devices to file
federal grant applications that would have to complete with other
communi ties in the state. The experience has been recently in
Minnesota that virtually all of the funding is directed towards
areas such as the iron range, thus it is likely if not probable
that we would receive diminished funding and possibly no funding at
all. Therefore, it is staff's recommendation that we continue the
arrangement that has served us well over the past twelve years.
Hennepin County has prepared a resolution supporting
recertification. It is attached with the associated Joint
cooperative Agreement for your review.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the city council approve a resolution
supporting the recertification of Hennepin County and authorize
staff to enter into the Joint Cooperative Agreement.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Paul Krauss
FROM:
Mark Koegler
~
DATE: September 5, 1990
SUBJECT: Lake Susan Park
As a follow-up to our recent discussion, I have reviewed the Lake
Susan Park play area to see if the CDBG money earmarked for
handicapped accessibility can be used to expand the play
opportunities for disabled children. In working with David Owen of
Earl F. Andersen, we have drafted a preliminary plan which
co~pliments the existing play area.
e The plan (copy attached) creates a handicapped accessible play
space in the northeast corner of the existing play area. The area
will De connected to the park shelter by a bituminous walkway which
leads to a redwood ramp which rises to a platform area. From the
platform, children in wheel chairs will have access to play
apparatus such as wheels, tic tac toe, and a slide. The slide will
terminate on a rubberized surface installed over a concrete base.
We have also shown a wheel chair accessible "Super Scoop" which
enables the user to dig in the pea rock surfacing that presently
exists.
Materials for the system as shown are estimated at $6,000 including
contracted labor. If the City's maintenance personnel can install
the s y s t em, a s a v i n g s 0 f a p pro xi mat e 1 y $ 1 , 200 can be rea 1 i zed.
This amount could be used to fund a wider walkway, a wider
rubberized surfacing at the base of the slide and the installation
of activities on the octagonal platform.
In summary, the $6,000 can be used in a meaningful way in Lake
Susan Park to create Chanhassen's first handicapped accessible play
area. The proposed system will compliment the existing play
structure and can be expanded in the future if funding permits.

City Council Meeting - September 10, 1"0
anything new that the storm wate.r system for this area was going to include
being run to Lake Susan through this'series of systems. You can't build just
the north half of the sewer and not build the south half and say we're through
building the sewer. So in this case I believe everybody within the watershed
need pay their fair share on that. As far as the Ward's property, it does
concern .e when you go 3 times. I think we've answered the Church pretty well.
But 3 times the feasibility study is a lot but we do need to point out at this
point like we did earlier that it was not assessed for the 100 foot wide
right-of-way but a standard 36 foot wide right-of-way was what was actually
assessed against the Ward property. So in comparison to what that big street
was, you're only paying for one lane of it. So those are my only coa.ents. I
think tabling would be a good idea at this time.
1
Mayor Chmiel: I do too. Rather than having other dIscussions, is there a
.otion to table?
Council.an Work.an .oved, Council.an Johnson seconded to table adoption of the
assess.ent roll for Project No. 88-22A, lake Drive, TH 101 to CSAH 17 until the
next City Council .eeting. All voted in favor and the .otion carried
unani.ously.
Mayor Chmiel: This will be back before us on the 24th so you'll have at least
another opportunity to come in and enjoy our company here.
PUBLIC HEARING; AMENDMENT TO THE YEAR XV STATEMENT OF PROJECTED USE OF fUNDS
FOR THE URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM.
]
Paul Krauss: As you're aware, our Year XV Block Grant allocation had provided
$17,000.00 and some odd dollars for housing rehabilitation. I reported to you
last spring early on that nobody had sought those funds. We speculated-at the
time that it was probably because the income cut off is so low that Chanhassen
residents didn't qualify for it. I still believe that's the case but based upon
your request, we republished that in both newspapers. The newspapers cooperated
with us. Ran stories about the availability of funds just to .ake sure that
everybody had a last shot at it. We had no takers which tells us that it's
encumbant upon the City Council to reallocate those funds because with Block
Grant dollars you either use it or lose it. I think you're all aware that
there's very limited categories that are fundable under Block Grant funding.
It's for low inco.e projects, projects for elderly and projects for handicapped.
What we've proposed to do for you is to reallocate that funding into two
separate projects in the same park, Lake Susan Park. Under a different Slock
Grant category we've already allocated $7,500.00 in funds to construct a fishing
pier. A handicapped accessible fishing pier in Lake Susan Park. This would be
similar to the one that's recently been completed in Lake Ann which I believe is
quite successful. We've since found that the actual cost to build the pier
that's desired for Lake Susan is something on the order of $18,750.00. Now
that's a pier that's approved or designed by the DNR and it's built at
relatively low cost through Minnesota, and I forget what 1t is but 1t's the
prison industries over In Stillwater. They build it as"a rehabilitation
project. So what we'd like to propose doing is taking a portion, $11,250.00 of
that $17,000.00 and change. Allocate that in combination with the $7,500.00
we've already appropriated would be used to get the 84 foot fishing pier. which

we think is warranted for Lake Susan Park. That leaves us with a balance close
to $6,000.00. If you read the report, .y .ath was wrong. I had thought I had
found an extra $3,000.00 that we could spend and I listed 9. I was wrong. We
have $5,890.00 in the balance. What we've proposed to do and we talked to our
parks people about this, is in Lake Susan Park there is a recreational facility
in there and Hark Koegler, of course who works with us on our park design,has
suggested that we use it to begin work on a handicapped accessible play
structure. Now with $6,000.00 we can't build the ulti.ate one but we can build
a useable one and these things are .odular and if we get sOle block grant loney
in the future years, we .ay be able to add to that. With that, both projects we
think are kind of unique. They're targeted for handicapped people but both the
fishing pier and the play structure are equally utilizable by able body children
and adults. We think it will provide a unique amenity and a unique facility in
our park systeM. One that's going to be useable for .any of our residents who
right now cannot access the equip_ent that we have. Therefore we're
recommending to adopt a resolution reallocating those funds to those projects.
e
Hayor Chmiel: I like the idea'of both. Accessibility of the fishing pier but I
also like the part about for the handicapped. I think that's a neat idea.
There's only one question that I have. Is it legal?
Paul Krauss: You .ean will they allow us to transfer the funds? Yes, they
will.
Hayor Chmiel: Alright. I was just 90ing to throw it open for discussion.
That's all I was 90ing to do and if you had sOlething to say, go ahead TOI.
I
'.
Council.an Workman: Yeah. I don't think like a handicapped person so It's very
difficult to i~a9ine what's needed. Are we running out of ideas a little bit?
e
Paul Krauss: Well to be honest, you know they keep coming up with lore and lore
guidelines under the Block Grant progra. that are used to restrict com.unities
from being real flagrant about this. In the early 70's there were cities that
built golf courses with these funds. It gets tougher and tougher to find
fundable programs for them particularly since we're not talking about a
tremendously large allocation of dollars. We only get, I think last year we got
$35,000.00. Of that we spent $7,000.00 for the South Shore Senior Center. We
undertook a seniors need study. I guess that's funded out of our previous year
and we've got something on the order of $26,000.00 sitting for as yet unnaled
senior activities and hopefully the senior group has been working on the study
is going to have some ideas as to how that .oney should be allocated. In the
past we've tried to be creative and cOle up with ideas. I recall Councillan
Boyt was interested in a book mobile. I found out'that was not fundable and at
different times some of this stuff, so.e of this .oney Nas funneled into
planning efforts. One section of the comprehensive plan was funded under
allocations several years ago but that is now not allowed any longer so yes.
The long and the short of it is, it's getting tougher and tougher to find
fundable projects.
Hayor Chmiel: Let Ie just interject sOlethlng. As you're talking I was
thinking a little bit more of that fishing pier as we're proposing. Will that
be handicapped accessible?
3S
e
City Council Heeting - September 10, 1'90
Paul Krauss: Yes sir it will. It ~ill be just like the one we have in the park
right now which is, when you go out there it's over wide so that you can
wheelchair access out there. The fishing positions have cut down bollards so
~ somebody sitting down and unable to stand can still cast.
Hayor Chmiel: The second question I had is, should it be within the big park at
Lake Ann Park for the handicapped accessible for some playground equip.ent or
should it be at Lake Susan? I'. trying to determine as to why would we be
looking just to Lake Susan being that we have aore numbers going to Lake Ann
Park and accessibility there would be pretty .uch the same.
Councilman Workman: We can charge them a fee at lake Ann.
Paul Krauss: That is a point. One is a fee for service. I don't know the
answer to that honestly. This was done in consultation with our parks people
and I'd defer to their recommendation on that.
Councilman Johnson: Can we aake this non-specific that the funds would be used
either at Lake Ann or at Lake Susan because I had the exact same question. Lake
Ann is used by so .any more people, it aakes aore sense to ae to put a
handicapped accessible at Lake Ann which is'used by .ore people than Lake Susan
which you know. It's like saying okay, let's take our handicaps and send them
over to Lake Susan here and everyone else can go over to Lake Ann. As long as
our primary focus is developing Lake Ann and then Susan and these other parks
are secondary, I'd like to see handicap accessible at City Center Park. At Lake
Ann Park. At all the parks eventually. City Center I'd like to see aore.

Paul Krauss: Well at this point I don't believe that you'd be hamstrung by the
Block Grant regulations. I mean it's a fundable activity. I don't think they
care which park we put it in as long as it's a public facility.
Councilwoman Oimler: Okay but that brings up the point that lake Ann already
has the pier.
Councilman Johnson: I'. not talking the pier. The play structure.
Councilwoman Dialer: Oh, the play structure? Okay.
Councilman Johnson: Any pier we put in should be handicap accessible on any
pier on any lake, in ay opinion.
Councilwoman Oimler: Alright so you're leaving number 1 as is? You're just
talking about 2?
Councilman Johnson: Exactly. Giving us a little aore option in where we put
it. Has Park and Rec seen this or just park staff?
Paul Krauss: I believe just their staff. We can ask the. to resolve this for
us at their _eeting on the 24th I believe. - -

MEMORANDUM
TO: Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission
FROM: Mark Koegler ~
DATE: September 20, 1990
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan - Park in the Lake st. Joe Area
e
At a public meeting on the land use section of the Comprehensive
Plan, a resident in the Lake St. Joe area questioned the Plan's
designation of park land. Mr. Mark Malinowski owns approximately
6.5 acres on the past side of the lake as shown on Exhibit 1. His
property which contains an existing single-family residence is
shown in the area designated as Park/Open Space. He is seeking
clarification of the City's desire for a neighborhood park in this
area and specifically, whether or not his property will be acquired
in the future.
e The current land use plan identifies an area around Lake st. Joe as
Park/Open Space (Exhibit 2). This land use designation is
consistent with the uses shown in the plan originally adopted in
1981. The Park/Open Space category, as the name implies, includes
areas envisioned as active community parks as well as areas likely
to remain in perpetual open space regardless of ownership. In
general, the 1981 plan did not designate specific sites for future
neighborhood parks but rel ied on the text to identify deficient
areas where future park sites should be located.
The area around Lake St. Joe contains extensive wetlands as shown
on Exhibit 3 . In this case, the in ten to f the 19 81 plan was
twofold: first, the designation was intended to convey the idea
that the area contained expansive wetlands and would be perpetual
open space. Secondly, the designation was indicative of a desire
to maintain a public trail around and through the wetlands
encompassing Lake st. Joe.
The Malinowski property has been reviewed to assess its potential
as a site for a future neighborhood park. The site consists of
wetlands along extensive portions of the lakeshore and a ridge
along the eastern portion of the property which contains mature
tree cover including various oak species. Use of the parcel for an
active neighborhood park would require removal of the vegetation
and cutting down the ridge area to create appropriate "flat" spaces
for active uses. Use of the site for a park would also obviously
include acquisition of the property and demolition of the existing
buildings.

Park and Recreation Commission Memorandum
September 20, 1990
Page Two
e
Because of the extensive amount of grading involved and the
destruction of the existing vegetation, the site appears to be
largely unsuitable for a future neighborhood park. Additionally,
it would be more cost effective for the City to acquire a future
park near the south or northwest ends of the lake as development
occurs rather than to have to acquire or condemn an existing
residential property. Therefore, it is recommended that the
Malinowski property be designated as Single-family Residential
rather than Park/Open Space on the new land use map. It is further
recommended that the remainder of the Lake St. Joe area now shown
as Park/Open Space remain as Park/Open Space. The new land use map
designates a number of other major wetland areas in this manner.
There is one other aspect of this issue that deserves some
additional comment. The draft trail plan identifies a nature trail
around portions of Lake st. Joe. It would not be necessary for
this trail to pass through the Malinowski property. Such a trail
could tie into the proposed sidewalk/trail along Minnewashta
Parkway for north/south continuity along the east side of the lake.

SUBJ:
Rice Marsh Lake Park Playground Improvements
e
This improvement project was initiated due to the inquiry from a
resi~ent interested in donating a basketball hoop for installation
at the park. This hoop and post became available as a result of
the city's request that basketball. hoops located on city streets
and cul-de-sacs be removed in an effort to avoid possible injury to
children and adults using them. Upon receiving several petitions
directly relating to this issue, the position of the city remains
that we encourage people to use their neighborhood park facilities
for this type of recreation.
Herein lies the problem - Rice Marsh Lake Park does not have a
basketball court. However, it does have an outdated play area
containing equipment which is considered dangerous by current
safety standards. Thus a perfect match - remove the unsafe
equipment and play surface to make room for a new basketball court.
The creative play area has already been replaced through the
installation of an updated play structure similar to systems we are
currently installing. There is one catch, however, the backboard
and post which the neighborhood resident originally wanted to
donate would not hold up in a public ....park . setting . Park grade
poles and hoops will be purchased and installed later this fall
upon commencement of this proj ect. This item is being presented to
the commission as an update, therefore, no action is necessary.
A park map is not on file for Rice Marsh Lake Park, but I have
attached a sketch to aid you in visualizing what is being improved
at the park.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. The City of Chanhassen ~hould 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
10,ng 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:
b.
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 h~ndicapped adults to destinations of
choice.

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 ~ervice 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:
1. As is similar with transportation. there are many existing infprmation and
referral services available to the residents of Chanhassen. These include:
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 welf.
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 tllnformation and Referral" are different from
"Information and Assistancetl. Some of these agencies take a more pro-
active counseling role with their clients. helping to connect them with the
service. This is providing tlassistance". Others take a less active role, giving
the client phone numbers and names to call on their own. This is tlreferral".
.
.
~
.
.
2. Although there are many services, none are comprehensive in that they refer
the ~"er 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.

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.
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.
3.
e
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 av.ailable to adults as they age.
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. Uving
alone 'ina 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.

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 Chanhassenshould work with Carver County to assure that
Chanhassen residents have ample access to counseling and case
management services which can help th~m 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 melior 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.

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 ~dultsare 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.

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 programming with other
government and private organizations who are dedicated to offering social
and recreational opportunities to matur~ 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 activitie~ should be supported by the City. Although the current
Senior Club in Chanhassen offers a limited program, i.e. 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.
Some communities locate these senior activities, services and programs In a free-
standing building which is called a Senior Center. Others 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.

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
Sout~shores Senior Center has expre~~ed interest in meeting Chanhassen
residents' needs eitherthrough its current location or through some type of
branch office. These measures, however, are only stopgap measures and at
no time should this type of arrangement be viewed as a long term
arrangement.
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 practiqe Initiated by this research project of .
appointing mature adults to recommend services for mature adults.
, J
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 10 those
mature adults who are pre~retirement age. It should incluQe expansion
space, as the mature adult population is expected to continue to grow.

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 m~ny 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.

2. The City should serve as a catalyst to assure that affordable and accessible
housing 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.
