His presentation also covered the specific development plans of Bloomberg Companies and Kraus-Anderson. The presentation also included an explanation of the memo~andum of intent previously drafted by the HRA and the two developers. Next the Assistant City Attorney made a presentation concerning the pro- cedural steps which would have to be accomplished before the amendment became effective, specifically receipt of a formal recommmendation by the Chanhassen Planning Commission, followed by formal approval of the amendment plan by a majority of the members of the HRA, followed by a public hearing before the Chanhassen City Council, followed by the formal approval of the amendment by a majority of the members of the Chanhassen City Council. The Assistant City Attorney also explained that the plan amendment, if adopted,would call for the construction of a ring road and, for the acquisition of certain designated businesses and tracts of land in conflict with the ring road and the land usage plan shown in the draft booklet. Mr. Mertz further explained that if the plan were approved, the City would attempt to acquire targeted businesses and real estate by direct negotiation and purchase by contract. Mr. Mertz also explained the condemnation procedures which could be utilized to acquire those pieces of land or those businesses which could not be acquired by contract. Next a presentation was made by Bill Von Klug, the relocation benefits consultant retained by the HRA. Mr. Von Klug briefly explained the type of relocation assistance which would be available to property owners and tenants of properties and to business owners which would be acquired by the HRA if the plan amendment were approved. Brief presentations were also made by Bill McRostie of Bloomberg Companies and Dennis Spalla, of Kraus-Anderson, concerning the specific development proposals being sponsored by those two companies respectively.

Lue Ann Wallentine, expressed concern that the project would negatively affect the homes bordering the proposed loop road on the north. She asked the commissioners to specifically consider the installation of a chain-link fence on the border between the residential neighborhood and the ring road. At this potnt Mr. pal- kalns made a brief explanation of the types of buffering structures which were under consideration for usage along the northern segment of the loop road. John Havlik asked the commissioners to consider building the berm along the north loop road prior to commencing other construction; he also expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that the loop road plan as developed to date results in his home being fronted on three sides by streets. Don McCarville, of Country Clean, asked the commissioners whether his building would be acquired. Mr. palkalns explained that his building was on the aquisition list shown in the February 1980 draft booklet. Al H. Klingelhutz, of Klingelhutz-Cravens, realtors, and John Pryzmus, property owner, asked follow-up questions concerning the relocation benefits which would be available to affected land owners and business owners. e At this point, the Chairman closed the question and answer portion of the meeting and proceeded with the first business item. Kitchen Expansion: Bloomberg Companies: Bill McRostie and Mr. Davis, the Bloomberg Companies staff architect, made a presentation concerning the Bloomberg Companies proposal to expand its present kitchen facilities at the Dinner/Theatre. Mr. McRostie asked the HRA to recommend the approval of a variance to Chanhassen ordinance 47-K,so as to allow the issuance of a building permit for the kitchen expansion, notwithstanding the building permit moratorium. Commissioner Niemeyer moved the adoption of a resolution recommending the approval of the necessary variance to ordinace 47-K. Motion seconded by Commissioner Bohn. Ayes all. Motion carried. -- Mike Sorenson, Liquor Store: Arjis palkalns made a presentation concerning the development application currently pending for the Chanhassen Planning Commission whereby the Sorenson property, located at the south easterly corner of the intersection state Highway 101 and west 79th Street, would be developed as a retail store site, specifically a liquor store. Mr. palkalns explained his belief that the plans as submitted by Mr. Sorenson were in conflict with the proposed traffic circulation pattern for the proposed ring road and for Highway 101. Mr. palkalns recommended the relocation of west 79th Street from its present location on the north boundary of the Sorenson property to the south boundary of the Sorenson property. Commissioner Russell moved the adoption of a resolution recommending that the City Council deny a variance to Mike Sorenson under ordinance 47-K because his plans were found to be in conflict with the concept plan for the ring road. Motion seconded by Commissioner Niemeyer. Ayes all. Motion carried. -2- e e e Administrative Assistance: The Commissioners expressed dis- satisfaction with the delays involved in the preparation of their regular minutes. Commissioner Niemeyer moved that the HRA Executive Director, Don Ashworth, be directed to report to the HRA at its next regular meeting on the economic feasibility of hiring a permanent minutes secretary for the HRA rather than relying on Mr. Ashworth or on the Assistant City Attorney to prepare the necessary minutes. Motion seconded by Commissioner Bohn. Ayes all. Motion carried. Commissioner Whitehill moved that the HRA adjourn. Motion seconded by Commissioner Russell. Ayes all. Motion carried.
