Chanhassen Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting
June 18, 1981
Minutes
Called to Order: Horn, Bohn and Whitehill were present:
Chairman Gullickson and Russell. were absent. The
meeting was called to order at 8:30 p.m.
Approval of Minutes: Motion by Horn, seconded by Bohn to approve
the HRA minutes of June 11, 1981 as presented. Motion carried.
Review of Proposed Zoning Ordinance Revisions: Scott Martin
reviewed the background of the preparation of the Zoning Ordinance
revision report.
e
Paul Krause, BRW, explained the reasons why the overlay district
concept was discarded in favor of comprehensive zoning ordinance
amendments for all Commercial and Industrial Uses in the Down-
town Project Area. The general philosophy behind the report
was to provide different levels of commercial development around
the Downtown Core Area, and an industrial zone that would ac-
commodate a variety of light industrial and office uses sup-
portive of the city's population and overall employment needs.
Bohn and Horn preferred to extend the B-1 district along the
west side of the B-3 district, up to the Burdick Office Park.
Whitehill thought the B-3 District should be extended into this
area, rather than the B-1 District. This change would eliminate
the proposed Frontier Home Center from the Bloomberg Co. Site
just west of the ring road. The Board also felt that the B-
2 District should be extended to encompass the southerly half
of the R-4 District lying north of West 78th Street, just east
of Powers Boulevard.
Whitehill moved that the comments of the HRA be forwarded to
the Planning Commission along with the Draft Ordinance, and
that the other members of the HRA (Gullickson, Russell) be
invited to submit their comments along with the HRA's. Horn
seconded. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Sorenson Property Appraisal: Bohn moved, seconded by Horn,
to acquire the Sorenson property at the appraised value of
$22,000. Motion carried.
Resolution #81-4: Horn moved, Bohn seconded, approval of Re-
solution #81-4, revising the proposed Public Redevelopment
Cost budget, as provided in Resolution #81-3, by transferring
$300,000 from "Refinance of Temporary Improvement Bonds of 1978"
to "Option Cost for Land Acquisitions". All voted in favor
and the motion carried.

the flow chart for implementation of the Downtown Redevelopment
