The meeting will last for only forty-five minutes. The Commission may want to refine it's discussion list (attached). To better facilitate understanding of Council operations I propose the following change in procedm'e: · Attendance at City Council meetings by the assigned Commissioner become standard practice. Attendance would be necessary only if a Park and Recreation item(s) appears on the agenda. The meetings are held early, starting at 5:30 p.m. I would mail the assigned Commissioner a Council agenda, including Park and Recreation item(s) appearing on the agenda. I have scheduled this proposed change in procedure on your May 25 agenda for discussion. g:Xpark'qhkprc~RC&ccJointMtgMemo5_99 CITYOF C HASSEN 690 City Center Drive, PO Box 147 Chanhassen, Minnesota 55317 Phone 612.93Z 1900 General Fax 612937.5739 Engineering Far 612937.9152 Public Safe~ Fax 612.934.2524 Web wwu:ci, chanhassen, mn.us May 3, 1999 Mr. Jerrold Kreisler 764 Lake Point Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear Mr. Kreisler I received your email message this morning. On January 26, 1999, the Park and Recreation Commission voted to table action on a pedestrian trail connection between Fox Chase and Carver Beach. This issue was specifically tabled until such time that Greg and Barbara Hedlund determine the future use of their second lot. This afternoon, Barbara Hedlund informed me they are at least one year away from building a new home on their second lot. At that time they will be able to determine if they would consider swapping easements. Without further action by the Park and Recreation Commission and City Council, the existing trail easements encumbering both your lot and the Hedlund's lot remain intact. Unfortunately, I see no means by which this matter can be resolved within the next thirty days. It certainly appears that you will need to market your home with the trail easement intact. I will be forwarding your letter and my reply to the Park and Recreation Commission and City Council. You are welcome to speak to either of these groups regarding your concerns.

When I met with the Mayor, we seemed to both agree that we could not simply stall or otherwise avoid resolving the matter. I am concerned that we are not making any progress. Complicating the issue further is the fact that my wife and I have decided to sell our home. In fact, we have actually found property on which we will build. Unfortunately, I will not be able to sell my home and extract anything close to what we paid for it with a path consuming the entire side yard area and nearly half of the front lawn. I feel bound to make such disclosures to potential new buyers. Accordingly, under the current situation, I'll take a bath on the home and the second mortgage. As I'm sure you can understand, I cannot let that happen. I need to have this matter resolved ASAP within 30 days in order to move forward with our plans. This problem is now in the way of the other plans. What can we do to facilitate the matter and/or otherwise assist in the resolution? Please advise me, in writing, the status of the matter and of next steps. Take care and thanks for your continued assistance. Jerrold A.

I believe that I now clearly understand the City's position on the matter. It is most disappointing that the best the City can do for me is to wait until my neighobors decide whether or not to build on their property, how ever long that may take. There were other-options for the path that we had discussed that would make the path less a problem for us. Have they recieved additional consideration? We never asked to have the path eliminated, just changed a little so that we don't get hurt financially. It is clear Todd, that the City does not seem to be concerned enough about the problem to be more creative. You leave us with no option but to undertake legal and public action.

Maher 7101 Utica Lane Chanhassen, MN 55317 Re: Memorial Proposal Dear Mr. Maher: Todd Gerhardt, Chanhassen's Acting City Manager, had forwarded your message to me asking about the possibility of putting rocks in the lake to protect the proposed memorial site located off of Greenwood Shores Park. I have contacted Ceil Strauss at the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the DNR does not allow placement of rip rap or large rocks in the lakes for this purpose. When the DNR does allow rip rap or rock to be placed along the shoreline, it must be placed at a gradual slope and would not protect such a structure against ice floe damage. After talking to Todd, I reviewed the plan and have found other elements about this project which are not permitted City and DNR ordinances, most notably a 75 foot setback from the lake. I understand this is an important project for you, but please understand that part of my job is to see that the City is consistent in its protection of lakes and wetlands. I would like to set up a meeting between yourself and Mayor Nancy Mancino to discuss some alternate plans for this ecologically sensitive area. Please call me at 937-1900 ext. 105 to set up a meeting at your convenience so that we can discuss your project.

Generally the people calling are dog owners who have chosen to obey our ordinance. Their irritation stems from the fact that so many others choose to ignore the ordinance and bring their pets to the parks. The hot spots for complaints are the ball fields in our community parks. Later in the season we receive calls on dogs at the Lake Ann Beach. Generally when I approach clog owners about the ordinance I allow them to complete their time in the park, reminding them not to bring their dog back on their next visit. I would be willing to prepare a supply of dog biscuits with a note attached explaining our ordinance if officers and CSO's would be willing to hand them out. Please let me know if this is an approach they would like to take.

Representative Workman forwarded your letter to my office. The south side ditch of Highway 7 has traditionally been marked as a snowmobile route by the local snowmobile club. The construction of the paved trail created conflict between the snowmobilers and walkers. Recognizing this, the club will most likely abandon the south ditch traiI opting to sign the north ditch instead. By city ordinance, all motorized vehicles are prohibited from traveling on paved pedestrian trails. The city plows these trails for two reasons; to facilitate winter pedestrian use and to deter snowmobile travel. Adam, the city has worked with the Chanhassen Snowmobile Club for many years to maintain snowmobile trails. Unfortunately, as urban development of our area continues, activities such as snowmobiling will suffer.

We look forward to a wonderful physical education area to be in place for classes next fall. It's another example of the great cooperation between Chanhassen Elementary and the City and we are really lucky to benefiit from this relationship in this way. But now, the "bad news." The improvements being made make it impossible for us to hold our traditional Track and Field Day this year. This is a disappointment to both students and staff. Track and Field Day is a great tradition and it's one we want to keep. We will be doing a few of the events in our regular PiE classes, but due to unpredictable weather, we can't say exactly when they will take place. We will still award ribbons in those ew~nts. We promise that Track and Field Day will be back next school year! It will be even better with improved fields and playground areas to support it. Thank you for your support and please know that all of us share your child's disappointment that Track and Field Day had to, be canceled this year.

The program received a total of 42 nominations, requesting funding in excess of $15 million. Enclosed is a copy of the projects which were submitted. Greenways and DNR staff then visited each one of the sites. Using these visits and aerial photographs, an overall ecological rating of high, medium or low was determined for each site. The Metro Greenways Work Group went through an extensive review process using slides, aerial photos, maps and the nomination form to evaluate and rank each of the sites on the basis of the established criteria. A preliminary package of recommended sites were then forwarded to the Advisory Committee for their review and recommendations. The Advisory Committee met in mid-April and developed a final funding recommendation. I am sorry to inform you that the Dungey, Peterson and HCRRA sites were not selected by the Committee. We recognized at the outset that each and every one of the projects were important for a variety of reasons. We also recognized that we would not be able to fund the majority of projects. Our task was to select those projects which effectively addressed as many of the criteria as possible and demonstrated a credible rationale for why this program should continue and grow in the future. I believe the collective work of both the Work Group and the Advisory Committee has resulted in an impressive group of sites. Enclosed is their list of recommendations which have been forwarded to the Commissioner of Natural Resources for his approval. Once approved, the list will be forwarded to the Legislative Commission of Minnesota Resources for final approval. As mentioned previously, we believe that the sites you submitted are important. To that end, Bill Penning, Metro Greenway's new Outreach Coordinator will be contacting you to see how we can assist you not only for these project but others. It is our earnest hope that this program is merely the beginning of a long-term program to protect, connect and restore a system of natural areas in the metro region. Your involvement and support for this initiative is critical if we are to achieve this exciting regional vision.

The program received a total of 42 nominations, requesting funding in excess of $15 million. Enclosed is a copy of the projects which were submitted. Greenways and DNR staff then visited each one of the sites. Using these visits and aerial photographs, an overall ecological rating of high, medium or low was determined for each site. The Metro Greenways Work Group went through an extensive review process using slides, aerial photos, maps and the nomination form to evaluate and rank each of the sites on the basis of the established criteria. A preliminary package of recommended sites were then forwarded to the Advisory Committee for their review and recommendations. The Advisory Committee met in mid-April and developed a final funding recommendation. I am sorry to inform you that the Dungey, Peterson and HCRRA sites were not selected by the Committee. We recognized at the outset that each and every one of the projects were important for a variety of reasons. We also recognized that we would not be able to fired the majority of projects. Our task was to select those projects which effectively addressed as many of the criteria as possible and demonstrated a credible rationale for why this program should continue and grow in the future. I believe the collective work of both the Work Group and the Advisory Committee has resulted in an impressive group of sites. Enclosed is their list of recommendations which have been forwarded to the Commissioner of Natural Resources for his approval. Once approved, the list will be forwarded to the Legislative Commission of Minnesota Resources for final approval. As mentioned previously, we believe that the sites you submitted are important. To that end, Bill Penning, Metro Greenway's new Outreach Coordinator will be contacting you to see how we can assist you not only for these project but others. It is our earnest hope that this program is merely the beginning of a long-term program to protect, connect and restore a system of natural areas in the metro region. Your involvement and support for this initiative is critical if we are to achieve this exciting regional vision.

The program received a total of 42 nominations, requesting funding in excess of $15 million. Enclosed is a copy of the projects which were submitted. Greenways and DNR staff then visited each one of the sites. Using these visits and aerial photographs, an overall ecological rating of high, medium or low was determined for each site. The Metro Greenways Work Group went through an extensive review process using slides, aerial photos, maps and the nomination form to evaluate and rank each of the sites on the basis of the established criteria. A preliminary package of recommended sites were then forwarded to the Advisory Committee for their review and recommendations. The Advisory Committee met in mid-April and developed a final funding recommendation. I am sorry to inform you that the Dungey, Peterson and HCRRA sites were not selected by the Committee. We recognized at the outset that each and every one of the projects were important for a variety of reasons. We also recognized that we would not be able to fund the majority of projects. Our task was to select those projects which effectively addressed as many of the criteria as possible and demonstrated a credible rationale for why this program should continue and grow in the future. I believe the collective work of both the Work Group and the Advisory Committee has resulted in an impressive group of sites. Enclosed is their list of recommendations which have been forwarded to the Commissioner of Natural Resources for his approval. Once approved, the list will be forwarded to the Legislative Commission of Minnesota Resources for final approval. As mentioned previously, we believe that the sites you submitted are important. To that end, Bill Penning, Metro Greenway's new Outreach Coordinator will be contacting you to see how we can assist you not only for these project but others. It is our earnest hope that this program is merely the beginning of a long-term program to protect, connect and restore a system of natural areas in the metro region. Your involvement and support for this initiative is critical if we are to achieve this exciting regional vision. Metro Greenways Nominated Sites March 20,1999 Site Name l. Eagle Creek Corridor 2.

Eox 5477 Hopkins, MN 55343 RE: 1998 CHANHASSEN TRAIL PROJECT !TEMS REQUIRING IMMEDIATE A-I-FENTION Dear Mr. Timmers: We wod:d like to take this opportunity to call your attention to some issues that require your immediate attention on the above referenced project. It is in your best interest to respord to these issues as soon as possible as you will most likely prevent additional erosion and deterioration that would only create more work for you and your work crews later in the year. LAKE R~LEY TRAIL Erosio~; is occurring in the ditch and down the inslope embankment near the corner of Pioneer Trail and Foxford Road. This erosion could plug the new drain tile system that has been installed. GALPIN BOULEVARD TRAIL A washout is again occurring at the retaining wall near station 2+50. We will be addressing this problem by directing you to pave the final lift of asphalt on the trail to move the Iow point at this location to the north and thereby avoid the condition of ponded water and washout behind the wall. A swale will be graded and sodded near this locatio? to direct stormwater runoff from the new tow point around the north end of the wall. Ur~til this work is done, however, it is your responsibility to insure that the integrity of the retaining wall is not jeopardized by erosion that is occurring at this location and that th~ work site is safe for pedestrians to use the trail system. Another location of settlement and erosion has also occurred near the intersection of Lake Lt;cy Road and Galpin Boulevard, at the northwest quadrant of this intersection. Erosion and settlement of the pavement is likely to increase in this area during spring storms until a more permanent repair is made. Please take appropriate action here to fix this prob!em and reduce this area as a potential hazard to pedestrians. o./proj.18(; ~ 380J/0071/380-0414, 2a pri199 1326 [-nergy Park Ddve · St. Paul, MN 55108 · 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 tell free 888FJ68-4389 APR-15-1999 14:29 HR GREEN CO. 651 644 2349 P.06/06 Mr. Matthew Timmers April 15, 1999 Page Two BORROW SITE - 78TM AND POWERS BOULEVARD Midwest Asphalt Corporation used this site for borrow material during construction of the 1998 Chanhassen Trail project.
