CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coordinator' S DATE: February 7, 1989 SUBJ: Potential Parkland Sites The Park and Recreation Commission has been made aware that the Pheasant Hills/Lake Lucy Highlands area is park deficient. Upon reviewing che Carrico site plan proposal in late 1988, the Com- mission directed staff to research potential parkland in the area, including the Carrico piece. Attached please find a letter from Mark Koegler outlining a number of possibilities and the merits of each. As the area was . studied, it was determined that the Carrico property is the best suited for park facilities and uses. If the Commission agrees with these findings, the City Attorney and staff should be directed to negotiate with the Carrico's and, failing to do so, enter into condemnation procedings. Additionally, if this is the course of action the Commission should choose, this item should be sent to the Planning Commission so as to modify the Comprehen- sive Plan. . . . ~ Van Doren Hazard Stallings February 6, 1989 _eels. EnginNf$. Planner.; Ms. Lori Sietsema Park and Recreation Coordinator City of Chanhassen 690 Coulter Drive Chanhassen, Minnesota 55317 Dear Lori: The enclosed letter report is a review of alternate park location sites for a neighborhood park in the northern part of Chanhassen. In 1980, the Comprehensive Plan identified areas north of Lake Lucy Road as park deficient. The acquisition of Curry Farms Park on the eastern end of Lake Lucy Road provides service to a portion of the deficient area. Areas along the western portions of Lake Lucy Road, however, remain short of neighborhood park space (Exhibit 1). Neighborhoods affected by the existing park deficiency include Pheasant Hiil and the Lake Lucy Highlands area. Two criteria governed the search for neighborhood park land in the deficient area: 1) sites had to be located within one half mile of the potential users and 2) sites had to be large enough to accommodate typical neighborhood park facilities. Neighborhood parks in Chanhassen typically include a small ball diamond, tennis courts, play equipment, trails, picnic and open space and in many cas e s, a :. fl' e 11 p e. ~ kin g lot. F i v e acres i s genera 11 y con sid ere d to be the minimum desirable size for a neighborhood park facility. Exhibit 2 identifies six sites that have the potential to serve as a neighborhood park for the deficient area. Each of these sites is summarized as follows: PARK LOCATION STUDY - SITE COMPARISONS Site A Size: 12.5+ acres Site Description: Undulating topography generally sloping from south to north. Farmstead on west is elevated and a stand of tree cover bisects the site on the east end. 3030 Harbor Lane North Bldg.II, Suite 104 Minneapolis, MN. 55447-2175 612/553-1950 _ ~ I ~ ~I~ ~" i r-l ~ il ~ 1\ ~,~~ .j ~~ ~ ~a=1 -2 .~~~~~ ,1'- ~~/~L~ly .w "1~L ,LA~ :.:~ '::1''0 cs ~ ~ .A.

(\S a.. <C ~ '~ - '- Active Park Usage: Rolling. topography, the farmstead and tree . cover area complicate the usage of the site for active recreational purposes. Neighborhood park uses such as tennis, a small ball diamond, parking lot, play area, picnic area and a sliding hill are possible with substantial grading and pos$ible removal of the farmstead. Service Area: . The service area of Site A includes only about one half of the residential units lying north of Lake Lucy Road, east of Galpin Blvd., and west of Yosemite. Site B Size: 7.1+ acres Site Description: The site consists primarily of a low area connecting Lake Lucy Road and Lake Lucy. The northeast portion of the site is wetlands. Approximately 1.5 acres along the southwest side of the site is a dry area that has been cultivated in previous years. Active Park Usage: Due to the extensive amount of wetlands on Site B, neighborhood park uses can not be . accommodated. The parcel may be suitable for a future access to Lake Lucy. Service Area: Site B provides service to only about one half of the residences in the park deficient area. Site C Size: 11 .7+ acres Site Description: The site generally slopes from northeast to southwest. Areas of tree cover occur in the north central portion of the property. A wetland area (not designated by City) exists on the southern end of the site. Active Park Usage: The existence of slopes, tree cover and the wetland area complicate usage of the site for active purposes. With minor grading, it is possible to accommodate a 250' ball diamond, tennis courts, play area, parking area and picnic facilities on the site. . . . . Service Area: Site C provides 100% coverage of the park deficient areas north of Lake Lucy Road. Site D Size: 3.8+ acres Site Description: The site lies immediately north of Lake Lucy Road. The topography of the site is gently rolling with an area of tree cover on the north end. The property contains an occupied single family residence and outbuildings. Active Park Usage: The topography of the site is generally suitable for construction of a neighborhood park. The site, however, is somewhat undersized when compared to the City's adopted minimum of 5 acres for neighborhood parks. Service Area: Site D serves 100% of the park deficient area north of Lake Lucy Road. Site E Size: 5.0+ acres The site consists of a low area bordered by wooded hillsides on the east end. Scattered tree cover exists throughout the property. Active Park Usage: Low, apparently wet areas make the property questionable for use as an active park. With soil corrections, it is possible to construct neighborhood park facilities on the site. Site Description: Service Area: The site serves the park deficient zone but requires the crossing of Yosemite by a majority of the park users. Site F Size: 4.8+ acres Site Description: Site F is a lowland area which receives drainage from 63rd Street as well as the surrounding properties. The site contains scattered tree cover with concentrated understory tree cover along the south end. Active Park Usage: Use of the property for active park purposes will require the importation of fill material. . Substantial filling may have a detrimental impact on the surrounding watershed area. Service Area: Site F is suitably located to provide accessibility to the surrounding park deficient area. RECOMMENDATION Of the six sites considered. only "A" and "C" have serious potential for acquisition and development as a neighborhood park. Both sites will require grading to accommodate neighborhood park facilities. Of the two. Site "C" is expected to have lower development costs due to less required grading. In recommending a preferred site. locational criteria should also be considered. In the park deficient area. the vast majority of users live north of Lake Lucy Road which functions as a major collector street. Since Site "C" lies north of Lake Lucy Road. access to the park can be gained without crossing any major streets. Additionally. Site "A" is located within one half mile of only about one half of the potential users in the deficient area. Based upon site constraints and locational criteria. it is recommended that the Park and Recreation Commission pursue . acquisition of Site "C" as a neighborhood park to serve the existing deficient area in northern Chanhassen. If you have questions on any of this material. please contact me. I will be present at the Park and Recreation Commission meeting on February 14th to further review this issue. Sincerely.

In addition, we have attached a detailed Engineers Estimate for the project. .he total project cost is estimated to be $82,950 including engineering, esting, inspection and contingencies. We will be available to discuss these matters at the February 14, 1989, Commission Meeting. Laredo Drive 1. Final design to proceed as proposed at the December 13, 1988, meeting. Carver Beach Road 1. Eliminate the proposed crosswalk at the west end of the park and extend the 5 foot sidewalk to the Nez Perce intersection. 2. Implementation of Item No.1 will result in the following: a. A crosswalk can be established at an existing intersection with 4- way stop sign traffic control. b. A new park entrance must be provided at this location. c. The mailboxes for the two residences on Carver Beach Road at Nez Perce will be relocated across the street. Minor landscape restoration is also anticipated by the two residences. Extend the cyclone fence westerly and northerly at the west end of the park to discourage the public from accessing the park across private property and to encourage the public to cross at a safe location. 3 . . 3030 Harbor Lane North Bldg.II, Suite 104 Minneapolis, MN. 55447-2175 612/553-1950 CITY OF CHANHASSEN Walkways along Laredo Drive and Carver Beach Road Improvement Project No. 88-21 ENGINEERS ESTIHATE FEBRUARY, 1989 ESTIMATED UNIT ITEM QUANTITY PRICE 4" Concrete Sidewalk 15,700 SF @ $ 2.00/SF 6" Concrete Sidewalk 3,750 SF @ $ 2.50/SF Excavated and Dispose 750 CY @ $ 3.50/CY Pedestrian Pipe Railing 420 LF @ $ 18.00/LF Timber Retaining Wall 70 SF @ $ 10.00/SF Relocate CB 1 EA @ $800.00/EA Install New CB 1 EA @ $800.00/EA Rebuild Existing CB 1 EA @ $800.00/EA Sodding 2,850 SY @ $ 3.00/SY Relocate Existing Split Rail Fence 55 LF @ $ 5.00/LF Driveway Repair 120 SY @ $ 9.00/SY Remodel Fence at Park - - LUMP SUM - - Chain Link Fence 120 LF @ $ 10.00/LF Standard Signs 9 EA @ $150.00/EA TOTAL ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COST Engineering, Testing, Inspection & Contingency TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST .

As you can see, the average speed of all vehicles recorded during the timeframes that radar was run was less than 30 MPH. At no point were vehicles recorded going at a speed greater than 40 MPH. . I have asked the Carver County Sheriff's Department through Captain Bob Pagelkopf to concentrate radar enforcement efforts on Carver Beach Road. We have also discussed this problem at the last Public Safety Commission meeting and it was a concensus at that time that Scott Harr or Jim Chaffee would meet with the Park and Recreation COlnmission at their meeting in February to address these concerns.

CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coordinator ~ DATE: February 10, 1989 RE: Softball Eligibility Rule . John Seamans has had a team in the Over 35 League that will not qualify under the new eligibility rule. John has had his team in the league for a number of years and is not able to find a new place to play softball within reasonable driving distance for the 1989 season. His feeling is that the league should be open to people within the school districts as Chanhassen youth teams use Minnetonka Intermediate School fields. I indicated to John that although it is a Chanhassen team using those fields, we have youth within the Minnetonka School District on those teams. Additionally, we have not applied this rule to the youth to date. Hopefully, with the new fields at Lake Ann next year, and the complex planned in the south, we will not have to do so. I explained to John that this was not an easy decision for the Park and Recreation Commission and that it was understood that it would not be easy. The bottom line is that the City of Chanhassen has an obligation to the taxpaying residents and their youth to provide recreational services and opportunities. Our population has grown so that we no longer have the facilities to accommodate all of the teams that want to play in Chanhassen. Therefore, it was necessary to limit the number of outside players. John will be attending Tuesday's meeting to discuss in detail the problems that the new rule will cause his team. . ~ CITY 0 F CBAHBASSEH 7 . 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 . CHANHASSEN.

CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation coordinator~ February 6, 1989 DATE: SUBJ: Park Dedication Fees At the last meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission reviewed a new formula by which to determine park dedication fees. The Commission felt the new formula would be difficult to administer and directed staff to check into having three separate fees; one for the rural area, one for the urban area, and one for commercial/industrial developments. Basing these numbers on the estimated raw land values from the County Assessor, the figures . work out as below: Rural Urban Commercial/Industrial (3,500/acre) (lO,500/acre) (18,OOO/acre) $133/unit $373/unit $1,800/acre These figures are considerably lower for the residential areas than the existing fee structure. Such does not accomplish the intention of the Commission to raise the fee. Staff feels that the formula outlined at the last meeting (see attached) remains a reasonable means by which a higher fee can be charged, while insuring a minimum fee at the current level. . CITY OF CHANHASSEN 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 . CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coordinator/~ January 18, 1989 ~ DATE: SUBJ: Park and Trail Dedication Fees . The Park and Recreation Commission and members of the City Coun- cil have expressed a desire to increase park dedication fees. It is felt that the County Assessor's average raw land value estima- tation of $10,500 per acre is low and that park property cannot be purchased for that price. As was discussed at our last meeting, one way to increase the park fee would be to change our standard parkland requirement from one acre per 75 people to one acre per 50 people. Staff was directed to work up the figures as they relate to the rural, urban and commercial/industrial areas (please see attached). This illustrates one way to increase the fee, however, this becomes a requirement of 15%-19%. The standard, which has been upheld as "reasonable" when challenged, is 10%. It is questionable whether 15%-19% will be considered "reasonable" should it be challenged. Therefore, staff has looked into other alternatives. State statutes allow the City to require parkland dedication or fees in lieu of parkland through the subdivision process. Staff is proposing a formula that would be based on average raw land values or real raw land values, whichever is greater. In other words, park fees would be $425 per unit until the raw land value was determined to be higher than $10,500. At that point the park charge would be 11% for urban single-family residential, 9% for rural residential, and 13% - 20% on multi-family residential (depending on density). Commercial/industrial would be done in a similar fashion - $1,050/acre or 10% of the raw land value, again, whichever is greater. Therefore, raw land values of more than $10,500/acre would create a fee of more than $1,050/acre (see illustration on next page). . ( Park and Recreation Commission January 19, 1989 Page 2 . Urban Sinqle Family Developments {Density 2-4 units/acre}: Land Values per Acre: 11% Fee per Acre: Per Unit Fee: $ 5,000 $ 550 $ 200 7,000 770 275 9,000 990 353 11,000 1,210 432 15,000 1,650 589 20,000 2,200 785 If land is required, the same process is used as has been in the past. If cash is required, the developer would be required to pay $425 per unit, or 11% of the raw land value; whichever is greater. As is illustrated using the table above, $425 per unit is the greater amount until land values are higher than $11,000 per acre. r Staff feels that this is an equitable way to deal with the Park Dedication Fee and helps to allieviate the problems that have occurred when the land being developed is unsuitable for parkland and such must be acquired outside of the subdivision. . Trail fees are difficult to determine. The Park and Recreation Commission must decide if we want to fund sidewalks in residen- tial areas or connecting trail systems. To expect a trail fee to cover both is unrealistic. At best we can require new develop- ments to make a contribution as the trail fee would have to be exorbitant to cover the cost of sidewalks within developments and connecting trail segments. Staff feels that the Park and Recreation Commission should pass the responsibility of sidewalks on to the Planning and Engineering Departments, asking them to consider whether it should be made a requirement of the subdivision. The trail dedi- cation fee would then be put into a fund to construct an inter- connecting system. Again, it is difficult to determine how much to charge a new development for a trail system. A fee equalling 1/3 of the trail dedication fee seems reasonable and staff would continue to recommend such. ( . CITY OF CHAHHASSEH 7' 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 .

The 1989 Capital Improvement Program includes $6,000 for new tot10t equipment at Lake Ann Park to replace the existing, out- dated equipment. It also includes $10,000 for new tot10t equip- ment at South Lotus Lake Park. Staff would like Commission direction to order the equipment now so that it is here when our summer help arrives. Additionally, staff needs to know what type of equipment is desirable. Would you like to see what has tra- ditionally gone into the parks, such as Meadow Green and North Lotus, or should we look at something new? Also, there is $5,000 worth of new equipment that was purchased last year for Greenwood Shores Park~ Upon Council direction it was not placed there as no off-street parking is available. This equipment was not placed elsewhere. The Commission should decide if the equipment should go elsewhere, or appeal to the Council to allow it to go to Greenwood Shores Park regardless of parking. As Greenwood Shores Park is heavily used, staff feels that it would be an enjoyed amenity; t~:the park. ~'" :. ... ~., -"l..:>-,..'.:,' '."H" ~ . ~ . "'0 '".c'O" ,.~.. ,,- .~. ;,.. ". . _. .1 ~ .

I apologize for the lateness of this reply to your letter of December 13, 1988. I could not, however, respond until our field reservation policies were reviewed by our Park and Recreation Commission for the 1989 season. Upon that review, it has been confirmed that your reuqest for use of a field in Chanhassen can- not be granted. It has been and continues to be the policy of the Chanhassen Park and Recreation Department not to schedule any reservations of fields on weekends. The Park and Recreation Commission took further action by reducing the number of non- residents eligible to participate in Chanhassen Leagues. This was done due to the field shortage which Chanhassen is experiencing at this time. Again, I apologize for the lateness of this reply.

CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Jim Chaffee, Public Safety Director FROM: Scott Harr, Assistant Public Safety Director DATE: January 26, 1989 SUBJ: Eurasian Water Milfoil This memo is to respond to your request for additional infor- mation on the topic of Eruasian Water Milfoil, which has again received media coverage. The concensus certainly is that this continues to be a potentially serious threat to our lakes in Chanhassen. I am attaching a copy of my August 1, 1988 memo to you regarding the topic. The information I obtained at that time from Mr. Howard Krosch, the Department of Natural Resources' Aquatic Biologi3t in charge of lake monitoring and control, is exactly that set forth in the January 23, 1989 Sailor articles on this weed. I took advantage of the newspaper article to contact Mr. Kevin Kretsch, President of Lake Restoration, Inc., 620 Hamel Road, Hamel, MN 55340, 478-9421, who is very concerned about this problem and is a member of the task force seeking to deal with this problem. He echoed the information cited in the article, and that which I obtained from the DNR last year, re-emphasizing the following items as the best way of responding to this threat: 1. To keep Eurasian Water Milfoil from entering our lakes by encouraging that plant fragments be cleaned off of boats and trailers before going into the water; 2. Increase public awareness on the topic; 3. If the weed is spotted, to immediately use a systemic herbicide. Mr. Kretsch agreed to provide any presentations that may be requested on this topic to the City Council. CITY OF CHANHASSEN . 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 .

I have talked with Mr. Howard Krosch, an Aquatic Biologist who manages the Department of Natural Resources lake monitoring and control unit. He was able to provide some suggestions on how we might respond to this potential problem. He explained to me that it is the transfer of the plant itself that will cause the plant to grow in a lake. Therefore, the best . preventative measure would be to request that people remove any plant fragments from their boats before launching. Eventually, the DNR will be placing signs to thid effect at boat access points on Lake Minnetonka. I did inquire as to whether DNR might assist us by installing such signs, and was advised that this could be an extreJnely lengthy project, as they have not even made up signs for Minnetonka yet. He did recommend that the City consider placing such signs at access points reading something to the effect of: "Help prevent Eurasian Watermilfoil from getting into this lake. Remove plant fragments from propeller, boat bottom, and trailer." He did feel that it would be particularly beneficial to require that boats, motors, and trailers be washed off prior to launching, because actual plant fragments are what cause the problem, rather than something that cannot be seen or could be easily washed off, these weeds generally get themselves attached to the prop or the rollers on the trailers, etc. ( If it is decided that such signs would be beneficial, I would recommend that Lori Sietsema pursue this by having such signs made and placed at boat access points. Mr. Krosch was extremely helpful, and I am sure would be happy to provide additional information if necessary (Phone: 296-0778). cc: Jim Chaffee, Public Safety Director Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coordinator Cindy Gilman, Lotus Lake Homeowners Assn, 6613 Horseshoe Cu.

That reproductive capability causes the plant to fonn in large colonies, which contributes to the large, thick mats on the sur. face of the water. These large mats are the root of the probiems caused by the weed. The mats can become so thick that they crowd out other weeds by blocking the sunlight necessary for plant growth, ac- cording to Terry Sardinis, aquatic biologist for the Army Corps of Engineers. By crowding out the other plants the weed also crowds out the production of zootplankton, the main food source for lake fish, thus stunting fish growth. In tenns of recreation, the mats can staU boat motors, make the lake unsuitable for swimming and take over prime fIShing areas.

Most aquatic plants are an Important part of the ecology Of our lakes and streams. They provide foOd and habitat for many organisms. They also help to stabilize the bottom and aerate the water. But when weeds-are too abundant, they can upset the natural ecology and Interfere with our aesthetic and recreational enjoyment. This usually happens when the weeds are over- fertilized by nutrients provided naturally or by human activities In the watershed. Sometimes, however, weed problems result from Attie introduction of an "outsider," a plant for WWhiCh there are no established natural controls. Eurasian water milfoills such a plant. First observed in North America In the early 194Os, Eurasian water mllfoll has spread rapidly across the continent. In Minnesota, It was officially Identified in Lake Mlnnetonka In 1987 and Its spread to other Minnesota lakes has already begun. HOw does it grow and spread? Eurasian water mllfoll Is a perennial herb, growing on the bottom Of lakes and streams from a fibrous root system. During the spring and summer months, rapid growth from the root crown area produces reddIsh shoots that may reach the surface and flower In water from the shoreline out to a depth Of about 10 to 15 feet. Dense popUlatIons may occur on a variety of bottom types, IncludIng slit, sand and even gravels and broken rock, making most Minnesota lakes susceptible to nuisance growth Of this plant. Waves and human disturbances SUCh as boats, boating equipment and water skiing prOduce plant fragments which are spread rapidly by water currents, making the plant difficult to contain. New plants grow when the fragments form roots. Though It roots best In protected areas the weed can also thrive In river channels. weed fragments can hitchhike on boats, trailers, weed harvesting equipment and other vehiCles and be transported from one lake to another. Thorough cleaning of all aquatic equipment is the best way to help control the spread of Eurasian water mllfoll. Eurasian water mil foil causes many problems: . SWimming, boating, water skIIng and fishing are all adversely affected by dense growths. . existing colonies of more desirable plants are Invaded and replaced. . Plant fragments which wash up on shore make beach areas unappealing. . Luxuriant growth can affect flood control, Irrigation, drainage, water treatment facilities and fish spawning areas. . Eurasian water milfollls costly, particularly In areas reliant on recreation and tourism. · Mats Of vegetation formed by the weed are Ideal breeding areas for mosquitoes.

No, not by little green men from outer space. but by a green aquatic plant. Eurasian Water Milfoil is a foreign water weed that has grown explosively in several Minnesota lakes. You should learn to recognize it and help prevent its spread. Most water plants are a vital part of a healthy lake: the foundation of the food chain that supports our game fishery. But problems sometimes result when a new plant is introduced to a lake. A plant for which there are no natural controls. Eurasian Water Milfoil is that kind of plant. To make matters worse, nutrients entering the lake make all weed growth more abundant. . \ , Eurasian Water Milfoil weed mats on the surface are unsightly and: .

BOX 147 . CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM FROM: Park and Recreation Commission Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coordinator Todd Hoffman, Recreation Supervisor ~ TO: DATE: January 27, 1989 SOBJ: Adult Softball Eligibility Rules . As you are aware, the Park and Recreation Commission approved a new policy regarding adult softball eligibility rules at their January 24th meeting. During this discussion, it was clear that the Commission understood that opposition to this new policy would be certain. However, the Commission felt that it was in the best interest of all residents to enact and enforce this policy. By allowing other local organizations greater use of the fields at Lake Ann, the new rule will help ease the ballfield shortage which we currently face in Chanhassen. The addition of three fields at Lake Ann, the planned development of a youth ath- letic park in southern Chanhassen, and the addition of more neighborhood ballfields will help in the future. However, periods of unbalance are likely to occur throughout the growth cycle Chanhassen is now experiencing. I am in the process of notifying all league managers through written correspondence of this new policy. Calls expressing opposition have already been received. Please be forewarned that even though this policy is based on fairness for all, the rumble of those concerned will soon be heard. I have attached a copy of the new policy as approved by the Park and Recreation Commission. Note from Park and Recreation Coordinator to Mayor, Council and City Manager (1-27-89): As Todd has stated above, a policy change was needed to help alleviate field scheduling problems. A less than favorable reac- tion by affected teams is expected and, therefore, I wanted to get this information to you as soon as possible. Please contact either Todd or myself if you have any questions regarding this issue. . Lori Sietsema ~ ADULT SOFTBALL LEAGUES . NEW PLAYER ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS 1. Effective immediately, players participating in a Chanhassen adult softball league must live or work within the physical boundaries of Chanhassen. Each team has the option of allowing a maximum of four (4) non-residents to participate on their team. The non-resident players must be listed in the indicated area of the team roster. If eligibility is claimed by employment, the participant must be employed full-time (34 to 40 hours per week) within the boundaries of the Chanhassen. The full-time employment must be the individual's main livelihood and the individual must be compensated accordingly. . If eligibility is claimed by residence, the participant must physically reside full-time within the boundaries of Chanhassen. Residence or work must be established prior to March 1 of the current year and must be maintained through the team roster deadline. 2. A $100 eligibility/conduct deposit is required in the form of a check separate from the league registration payment. VIOLATION OF ELIGIBILITY RULES will result in the automatic disqualification of the player(s) involved, and/or the team . from Chanhassen adult softball leagues, play-offs and forfeit of the $100 eligibility/conduct deposit. The inappropriate . . . conduct of individual playerCs) and/or the team will also result in forfeit of the $100 eligibility/conduct deposit. Proof of eligibility must be documented in the form of a copy of a current picture 1.0. or a copy of a recent paycheck stub for each player to be submitted with the team roster. ~- "- / , -A-Il'Mi'" #i ~ t. t 1- I- i ~ , ... i '" " t ' ~'i- t t, ( ,,/ 'f' , t ~. ..;. f . , ~i+ r" .. - I ". . .:",-.' -~- .

Recognizing the impor- tance of this trunk watermain construction to the City's water supply system, Council authorized that preparation of plans and specifications commence immediately following the December 12, 1988 meeting. Sufficient time was not available then to deal with the service policy for abutting properties along Lake Lucy Road. Therefore, staff was directed to prepare this addendum report which specifically lays out the funding scenario for the project and a connection policy for those properties which abut Lake Lucy Road. In addition, a public information workshop meeting was also held on January 24, 1989 which was well attended by the majority of the abutting residents. The addendum report goes into detail in explaining the proposed connection and fee policy; however, I think it would be benefi- cial if I attempt to summarize in outline form the key policy elements. 1. The project is proposed to be funded from the surplus pro- ceeds which are available from the general obligation bonds of 1986. This totals to approximately $550,000. The esti- mated construction cost for the watermain, including booster station improvements, is $472,481. 2. Existing dwellings will not be required to connect to the trunk watermain. 3. No assessments are proposed for the project unless a property owner chooses to connect to the watermain and wishes the con- nection fees and hookup charges to be assessed against his property. Don Ashworth February 8, 1989 Page 2 . 4. In order to recognize the residential benefit provided by this trunk watermain to the abutting properties, the connec- tion charge of $3,035.43 per unit is proposed in accordance with Section 19-20 of the City Code. This fee will accrue at a discounted interest rate of 4i% interest commencing with the "in-service" date (July, 1989) of the trunk watermain until the service connection date. 5. A hookup charge (currently $650/unit) will be charged per connection in accordance with Section 19-21 of the City Code. This fee can be periodically updated at the discretion of the City Council. 6. The connection and hookup charges can be paid fully at the time of connection or assessed against the properties at the request of the property owner at the following rates: Hookup charge at 8% for a four (4) year term Connection charge at 9% for a six (6) year term 7. Individual property owners will be responsible for their respective cost to bring the water service from the City's stub into their property and connection to their internal piping. . 8. In accordance with Section 19-19 of the City Code, any new dwellings and any existing dwellings whose private well system fails will be required to connect to the public water supply system. 9. A fire safety availability charge (currently $8/quarter) shall be billed against all existing dwellings that choose not to connect to the watermain system to recognize the fire safety benefit the trunk main provides to these properties. That concludes the summary of the proposed service policy for the Lake Lucy Road trunk watermain. I believe that it is a flexible arrangement which recognizes the disparity of the larger proper- ties which are not able to subdivide at this time and also provides a vehicle for the City to recapture the residential benefit of this trunk main at such time as development progresses in this area. BIKE TRAIL OPTION within this addendum report we have also included a brief discussion concerning the Lake Lucy Road trail/No-Parking issue. While the search for an interim, "quick-fix" solution to the . removal of No-Parking restrictions on one side of Lake Lucy Road does not appear imminent, I have had our consultants take a look at the feasibility of constructing a 6-foot wide bituminous trail . . . Don Ashworth February 8, 1989 Page 3 on top of the trunk watermain alignment as a part of this pro- ject. If MnDOT approves, this would allow us to eliminate one of the on-street existing bike trails and place it on the new path over the watermain. We should not underestimate, however, the difficulties and expense to accomplish this. There are some construction challenges, the most significant being the existing retaining wall in front of the Glaccum property at Yosemite which might need to be rebuilt. If so, we would need to protect the lOa-year old maple tree on the Glaccum property. In addition, even if one trail were removed from the road, it is unclear at this time if the road section is wide enough to accommodate on-street parking. This would have to be reviewed with MnDOT and may result in a variance appeal. Further, if parking is allowed it would still be restricted during snow emergencies (see Section 12-16 of the City Code, attached). The feasibility study has estimated the construction cost including engineering and contingencies for this trail to range from $47,500 to $63,800 depending on whether the retaining wall needs to be moved. It is therefore my recommendation that the City Council accept the attached Addendum No. 1 to the Lake Lucy Road trunk watermain feasibility study and adopt the connection and fee policy as laid out in the staff report and addendum. The City Attorney has advised the City that a public hearing for the watermain construction is not required. However, as questions may exist as to the connection pOlicy, effects of construction on property owners, the bike trail proposal, etc. it is recommended that a hearing be set for March 13, 1989 to address these issues. In addition, it is recommended that staff be directed to investi- gate the off-street trail option and meet with MnDOT to determine the possiblity of implementing this option. Attachments 1.

(b) Unless covered by subsection (aX1) or (aX2), the applicant shall pay a connection fee equal to the proportionate cost of construction of the main. The cost is to be determined by the city using the same formulas as was used for assessments previously levied against other property for the main and shall include equivalency charges as required to arrive at the present day worth of the water service.

CITY OF CHAHHASSEH . 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 . CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation coordinato~J_ February 6, 1989 7 DAI'E: SUBJ: Eckankar Church For your information, attached please find the proposal for the Eckankar Church. This is not being presented in the typical site plan review format, as this is not a subdivision; therefore no park dedication i3 required. The Eckankar property is located at the corner of Highway 5 and Powers Boulevard. The site is 175 acres, adjacent to the eastern . boundary of Lake Ann Park. This property is zoned RSF, R-4 and R-12, Residential Low to High Density and will require a con- ditional use permit. The plan includes an 800 seat church with roughly 250 parking spaces. The church is to be located in the center of the 175 acre tract. Again, the state only allows the collection of park dedication fees through the subdivision process. However, the attorneys representing Eckankar have indicated that they would be willing to sell a portion of the property to the City if it was needed for a community center site. Staff is currently looking into what the price would be for such a purchase. Additionally, the Community Center Task Force is pursuing public input as to the best location for a community center. Details of this proposal are attached.

This letter and attachments are submitted on behalf of our client Eckankar, in support of the enclosed application for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a church (the Church) on their property located at Highway 5 and County Road 17. Enclosed please find the following application materials: Completed and executed land development application; o o $150.00 filing fee; o Complete site plans, including: .'

" . LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY & LINDGREN, LTD. Mr. Steve Hansen, Planner January 23, 1989 Page 2 We have prepared the following additional materials to assist you in reviewing and analyzing the application for a Conditional Use Permit: o Environmental Assessment Worksheet. An EAW is not required for the Church because construction does not approach any mandatory threshold for the preparation of an EAW and has no potential for significant environmental effects. However, we have prepared the enclosed EAW to assist you in evaluating public utilities, drainage, transportation and related issues. o Application Requirements for a Conditional Use Permit. This summary provides information required to be submitted and refers you to the appropriate plan or document which complies with each application requirement. o Standards for the Issuance of a Conditional Use Permit for a Church. This summary sets forth in detail compliance of the Church with the specific and general standards set forth in the City Zoning Ordinance for the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit for a church. The Church meets all the performance standards of the Zoning Ordinance and the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. A list of the owners of all properties situated wholly or partially within 500' of the Eckankar property is being prepared by Carver County Abstract and Title Company and will be submitted as soon as it is available. City and County records show that Eckankar is the owner of record of the property and has paid real estate taxes and assessments. Eckankar is a tax exempt religious organization under Section S01(c)(3) and a church under Section 170(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Federal Internal Revenue Code and Section 1.511-2(a)(3)(ii) of the Income Tax Regulations. Eckankar's priests are authorized under the laws of the state of Minnesota to solemnize marriages. Confirmation of this authorization for Priest peterSkelskey is attached. Eckankar purchased its property at the intersection of Highway 5 and County Road 17 in the City of Chanhassen in 1985 for the purpose of locating its international headquarters thereon and establishing an international administrative campus. A concept plan for the first phase of the campus, including an administrative office buildin design, graphic, audio visual and publishing facility, w approve the Planning Commission and City Council of the City of C a sen 1985. 7 " -. LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY & LINDGREN, LTD. Mr. Steve Hansen, Planner January 23, 1989 Page 3 Eckankar subsequently withdrew its request to rezone the property to allow the international administrative campus and located its international headquarters in the city of New Hope, Minnesota, instead. The city of Chanhassen subsequently rezoned Eckankar's property from Planned Residential to RSF, R-4 and R-12. It is our understanding that following this rezoning the City commenced the process of amending the Comprehensive Plan land use designations to be consistent with the zoning, but we do not know the status of this amendment. We are therefore showing existing land use designations as low, medium and high density, consistent with the intent of the City Council in rezoning the property. . Churches are allowed as a conditional use in all three zoning districts which encompass the Eckankar property. The Church will be a building consecrated to religious worship, where people will join together in public worship under the aegis and direction of a person authorized under the laws of the state of Minnesota to solemnize marriages. The Church will include an 800 seat sanctuary, caretaker's residence, classroom facilities and other areas as detailed on the floor plans submitted, all as permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. Office space will be provided to serve the administrative staff of the Church only. The international headquarters of Eckankar will continue . in New Hope. The plans submitted and the Environmental Assessment Worksheet set forth in greater detail the specifics with respect to the Church building, site plan, landscaping, etc. We have designed the Church to be entirely consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance, including the specific and general standards of the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit for a church in a residential district. The Church complies in all respects with the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan, as detailed in the attachments to this letter and the submission materials. We submit this application for consideration by the Planning Commission at its February 15, 1989, meeting. The entire development team would be more than happy to meet with you at any time between now and then to answer any questions or provide any additional information you may require or find desirable. ~/ Robert L.

Article II, Subsection 1 of The City Zoning Ordinance defines a "church" as: A building or edifice consecrated to religious worship, where people join together in some form of public worship under the aegis and direction of a person who is authorized under the laws of the state of Minnesota to solemnize marriages. A church may iuclude living quarters for persons employed on the premises and classroom facilities. The following are not considered as churches: camp meeting grounds, mikvahs, coffee houses, recreational complexes, retreat houses, sleeping quarters for retreatants during spiritual retreats extending for periods of more than one day, bible camps with live-in quarters, publishing establishments, ritual slaughterhouses, radio or television towers and transmission facilities, theological seminaries, day care centers, hospitals, and drug treatment centers are not churches.

Michaud The City of Lakeville has implemented innovative techniques and policies to fund trail development throughout its com- munity, during a period of tremendous development, by combining trail installation with the construction of new roadways. Realizing that Lakeville was in the midst of a major building boom, city staff, working together with citizens and elected officials, devised a unique means of planning, funding and implementing a community wide multi- purpose trailway. Lakeville, a community of 20,000 citizens, located approximately 25 miles south of Minneapolis, has been experiencing tremendous growth for several years. With this growth came the need to reevaluate the roadway system. Roadways being constructed throughout Lakeville included neighborhood roads, minor collectors! major collectors, and major arterials. As the new Transportation System Plan was being developed, another major study was initiated to develop a comprehensive Trail System Plan. City staff working with the engineering department developed both documents. This resulted in two significant plans: Lakeville's Transportation System Plan, which provided a network of new roadways designed to best serve existing and future citizens, and a Trail System Plan designed to be directly integrated into the road system. Both documents were carefully designed to ensure that both the roadway and trail systems would coexist harmoniously with other aspects of the community, such as school sites, parks, conserva- tion areas, and population areas. Upon completion of the Trail System Plan, the task remained to create a funding source for it that would keep pace with development of roadways and new residential homes. Existing policy already provided for all designated major and minor collectors to have five foot concrete sidewalks installed as part of the development. Any associated costs were also borne by either the developer or the adjacent landowners through existing assessment policies. City staff began to develop ideas on how to provide funding for the projected trail construction. The first recommendation was to create a trail dedica- tion fee, similar to the existing park dedication fees. (The City of Lakeville's park dedication ordinance requires developers to pay a set fee per dwelling unit for all dwelling units in their development. This ordinance has been in existence for several years and has been the main source of funding for the Lakeville Park Department.) In order to set the amount of the trail dedication fee, staff conducted several studies including five year trail and residential development esti- mates and a review of the five year road construction plan. It became evident from these studies that a fee to construct trails at the current development costs would range between $400 and $550 per dwelling unit. Staff realized that a dedication fee of that magnitude would be politically unsound and prohibitive to residential developers. 13 After much thought and consideration, a new idea emerged. The existing policy requiring developers and adjacent landowners to bear the costs of five foot concrete sidewalks on both sides of major and minor collectors was being enforced with no real problems. City staff suggested that the policy applying to major collectors be amended to require eight foot bituminous multipurpose trailways be constructed instead of the previously required five foot concrete sidewalks on both sides of the street. Policy governing sidewalk installation on minor collectors would remain the same. The developers would only be required to pay for the first five feet of trail, the remaining three feet would be financed by the City's trail dedication fee. The proposal for an additional trail dedication fee was received with open minds and little resistance. Early in 1987 the City Council approved the trail dedication fee at a rate of $150 per dwelling unit. This amount, from both the City's and the developer's standpoint, was much more manageable and realistic than the previous $400-$550 per dwelling unit estimate. The trail dedication fund also provides for trail maintenance, and the acquisi- tion and development of other trails throughout the City of Lakeville that have significance in relation to the overall trail system plan. In summary, the City's policy today states that eight foot multipurpose trailways be constructed on all major collector roadways, with the first five feet to be funded by the developer and the remaining three feet subsidized by the City's trail dedication fee. To date this policy has been upheld as it represents a savings for developers that they regard favorably. At present, Lakeville has installed approximately 25 miles of multipurpose trailways along new major collectors. through major parkways and along existing residential roads, and we look forward to an even brighter future for Lakeville residents. In conclusion, Lakeville is a typical third ring suburb. It is atypical, however. in respect to its progressive leadership and citizens. Their foresightedness and encouragement of the policies we have discussed have a~lowed Lakeville to begin development of a progressive trail system. Our ultimate goal is to construct a well designed and carefully thought out multipurpose trail system as the community grows and to avoid spending millions of dollars trying to retrofit a trail system into a community that has been fully developed. By all indications, we are well on our way, as this is a success story that continues to benefit all Lakevi11e citizens. Steve Michaud is the Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Lakeville and has worked in that capacity for the past fifteen years! 14 . . . . Ad rv1 ; ~1 -:;:1.
