PUBLIC HEARING: LAKESIDE FOURTH ADDITION:
A. VACATION OF DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENTS.
B. FINAL PLAT APPROVAL.
C. APPROVE CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND
DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT.
Paul Oehme: Thank you Mayor, City Council members. The item before you, we’re asking that
a public hearing be opened for the vacation of the drainage and utility easements for the Lakeside
Third Addition. Planning Case #10-06. Lakeside Addition is shown on the drawing here. It’s
just north of Lake Riley. The easements, the developer is proposing to develop the parcels here
that are, I think they’re outlots and develop into homes and this area is proposed to be replatted
at this time to facilitate the redesign of the development. The easements in question are shown
here shaded along the perimeter of the two outlots. New drainage and utility easements will be
dedicated with the Lakeside Fourth Addition plat. There are existing private utilities within
some of these easements but the new plat will dedicate easements over those utilities. So at this
time after any questions I’d request that a public hearing be opened for this item.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you and the public hearing relates to the vacation of easements.
Paul Oehme: Vacation, right.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. And the motion in front of us would be that the new easements would be
placed contemporaneous with the vacation of easements is that correct?
Paul Oehme: That’s correct.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Any other questions for staff before we open up the public
hearing? If not we’ll go ahead and open the public hearing and invite all interested parties to
come forward and address the council on this matter. No? Seeing none, without objection then
we’ll close the public hearing and bring it back to staff for additional discussion. Do you want to
go forward with the others and take these all as a single?
Kate Aanenson: Yes.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Alright. Next item would be the final plat.

Chanhassen City Council - May 24, 2010
Paul Oehme: Final plat, yep. The council has approved the preliminary plat at this time.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah, sure I can. There’s 22 lots with the preliminary plat. At the final plat
then we’re executing the conditions that were imposed with that. Included with the final plat is
the, then the development contract and the construction plans so there was one issue that was
brought up at the time of the preliminary plat. That was regarding the retaining wall. We did
spend some additional time on that and that is pointed out in the staff report. We did speak to the
property owner that did have a concern about that so we believe that issue has been addressed so
with that we’re recommending approval.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Any questions for staff regarding the final plat? Or any
changes between the preliminary plat and this final plat. Okay. Seeing none, any questions
regarding the construction plans, specifications or the development contract for staff? Is there
any report that you want to make on that separately or? Okay. Alright, that was included in our
packet. Very good then. We’ll bring it to council. Any thoughts or discussions? I think it’s
fairly straight forward given the process. One of the primary reasons it’s on our agenda at this
time is because of the public hearing that was required for the vacation. Otherwise it likely
would have gone through our consent because of the lack or minor changes so if there’s no
discussion would somebody like to make a motion?
Councilman Litsey: Sure I’ll make a motion.
Mayor Furlong: Councilman Litsey.
Councilman Litsey: I can do all three of these together then?
Mayor Furlong: Yeah.
Councilman Litsey: Okay. Make a motion that the City Council vacate the drainage and utility
easements in Outlot B Lakeside and Outlot E Lakeside Third Addition as shown on the attached
survey prepared by Pioneer Engineering. That the City Council approves the final plat for
Lakeside Fourth Addition subject to the conditions in the staff dated May 24, 2010. And that,
recommend the approval to approve the development contract and construction plans and
specifications Lakeside Fourth Addition contingent upon the following. Number 1, the applicant
shall enter into the development contract and supply the City with a cash escrow or letter of
credit for $245,630 and pay a cash fee of $195,024.11. And the second one would be the
applicant’s engineer shall work with the City staff in revising the construction plans to meet city
standards.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Is there a second?
Councilwoman Ernst: Second.
Mayor Furlong: Made and seconded. Any discussion on those motions? Or that single motion,
excuse me. Hearing none we’ll proceed with the vote.
