CALL TO ORDER
Chairman Bill Gullickson called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m.
Present were Commissioners Horn, Whitehill, Gullickson, and Bohn..
Commissioner Russell arrived at 8:40 p.m.
Executive Director Martin and City Attorney Larson were also
present.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Whitehill moved, seconded by Bohn, to approve the minutes of the
May 20, 1982 meeting as presented. All voted in favor and the
motion carried.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS
Whitehill moved, seconded by Horn, the re- election of the same
officers for 1982 -83 as had served during 1981 -82: Chairman -
Bill Gullickson; Vice - Chairman - Cliff Whitehill; and Secretary -
Jim Bohn. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
HAVLIK PROPERTY PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT EXTENSION (Parcel #30)
John Havlik was present and questioned the method used by the
HRA's appraiser in determining the current fair market value of
his property. Larson explained that the use of hypothetical fac-
tors in the analysis of land value was not unusual, and that this
approach was only one of several used by certified appraisers in
determining the value of real property. Havlik said that he
would accept the new appraised value and live -up to his agreement
with the HRA if the option term was extended in accordance with
the agreement.
Whitehill moved, seconded by Bohn, to extend the purchase option
agreement for the Havlik Property for a three (3) month period
(September 1 - December 1, 1982) in accordance with Section
3.1(a), and to adjust the purchase price to a total of $250,105,
in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Agreement and with the
reappraised fair market value of the property. All voted in
favor and the motion carried.
RIVIERA PROPERTY PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT EXTENSION (PARCEL #31)
Bohn moved, seconded by Whitehill, to extend the purchase option
agreement for the Riviera Supper Club property for a three (3)
month period (September 1 - December 1, 1982) in accordance with
Section 3.1(a), and to adjust the purchase price to a total of
$405,606, in accordance with the Section 6.1 of the agreement and
with the reappraised fair market value of the property. All
voted in favor and the motion carried.

OFFER TO SELL CENEX SERVICE STATION (PARCEL #40)
Representatives of Minnesota- Victoria Oil Company were present to
discuss their offer to sell the Cenex Service Station property to
the HRA for $100,000.
Whitehill asked if Cenex would be interested in a lease -back
arrangement with the HRA if the property were purchased by the
HRA. He also asked if Cenex would be willing to guarantee the
lease as a condition of purchase by the HRA.
A representative from Cenex replied that Cenex is not interested
in operating the station, but the current tenant has expressed an
interest in either buying or leasing the business. The tenant
only leases the service bays presently, while Cenex operates the
fuel pumps. Cenex would agree to provide the necessary fuel
supply if the property were purchased by either the HRA or
current tenant.
Whitehill asked about the terms of the current lease and the
potential revenue for lease of the fuel pumps. The Cenex repre-
sentative said that the current lease is on an annual basis and
that it is due to expire on October 1, 1982. The tenant pays
$500 per month in rent, while Cenex pays utilities, taxes, and
insurance. He suggested that any future lease provide that all
expenses be the obligation of the tenant and that the fuel pumps
be leased at a rate of 7 1t per gallon of fuel pumped, payable on
a monthly basis. He added that approximately 20,000 gallons of
fuel is currently being sold each month.
The Cenex representative added that the property has been offered
to the current tenant for a price of $100,000, with terms of 20%
down payment and an 8 year Contract for Deed at 128 interest.
Whitehill expressed concern about the financial capacity of the
current tenant to meet lease payment obligations and restated his
feeling that Cenex should be required to guarantee any lease
arrangement if the HRA purchases the property. He added that any
purchase by the HRA without a guaranteed lease would be too great
a risk, and that the HRA could potentially end up with a vacant
business property.
Whitehill moved, seconded by Horn, to table the offer to sell the
Cenex property until the seller determines whether or not they
will guarantee the lease as a condition of any purchase by the
HRA. The seller must also provide the HRA with specific details
of any proposed leasing arrangement so that a financial analysis
of such a transaction can be made prior to any committment by the
HRA. All voted in favor and the motion carried.

APPROVAL OF 1983 OPERATING BUDGET (RESOLUTION #82 -8) ,
Martin presented the proposed 1983 HRA Operating Budget (Fund
#460), which also provides for the full prepayment of Dayco
Concrete and Fluoroware Special Assessment Reduction Agreement
Obligations in December, 1982.
Bohn moved, seconded by Horn, adoption of Resolution #82 -8
approving the 1983 HRA Operating Budget (Fund #460), as prepared
by the Executive Director and as presented to the HRA. All voted
in favor and the motion carried.
UNITED MAILING, INC. ASSESSMENT AGREEMENT (RESOLUTION #82 -9)

'ratifying the execution of the United Mailing, Inc. Assessment
Agreement during the absence of the Executive Director. All
voted in favor and. the motion carried.
APPOINTMENT OF BRA DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, (RESOLUTION #82 -10)
Horn moved, seconded by Bohn, adoption of Resolution #82 -10
appointing Don W. Ashworth as the Deputy Executive Director of
the HRA. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
APPROVAL OF BILLS
Whitehill moved, seconded by Horn, to approve the bills from
June, July, and August, 1982, as presented. All voted in favor
and the motion carried.
Commissioner Russell arrived at this point in the meeting. He
apologized for his late arrival, but said that the entrance door
had been inadvertently locked and that he couldn't get into City
Hall.
NEW BUSINESS
Martin informed the Commissioners that he and the City Engineer
had recently inspected the heating and ventilating systems in the
Instant Web building in anticipation of the upcoming heating
season. He expressed concern with certain operational charac-
teristics of the system and said that a mechanical engineer may
be brought in prior to the relocation of Instant Web in order to
better assess the system's operational needs if the building
stands vacant throughout this winter.
Martin also said that he was exploring possible short -term lease
arrangements for the Instant Web building with several parties.
Instant Web has informed him that they will complete the reloca-
tion to their new building around January 1, 1983.

Staff: Ashworth, Martin
CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Hamilton called the meeting to order at
7:30 p.m. and explained that the purpose of this special meeting
was to determine the current status of the Downtown Redevelopment
Project. He also acknowledged the presence of Don Ringrose of
BRW, Inc., the City's Planning and Engineering Consultant on the
project.
KRAUS- ANDERSON STATUS REPORT: Dennis Spalla of Kraus - Anderson
was present to update local officials on the status of their
development plans. He said that recent improvements in interest
rates improved the financial outlook for their portion of the
project, but added that only a smaller Phase I development would
be feasible in light of local retail market conditions.
He introduced Ron Krank of Korsunsky, Krank, & Erickson
Architects, Inc., who presented two proposed concept plans for
Kraus - Anderson's development. Both concepts provided for a first
phase of approximately 46,000 square feet of leasable retail
space, including a 10,000 - 15,000 square foot grocery store and
an 8,000 square foot drug store. A planned second phase would
add another 50,000 square feet of retail space in front of Phase
One. The project would be constructed to the north of the
concrete portion of the Instant Web Building, and would require
demolition of the wood -frame portion of this structure. Phase
one public improvements would be minimal under either alternative
plan. Spalla indicated that a Spring, 1983 construction start
might be considered if plans are approved in a timely manner.
Geving said that he supported the idea of keeping Phase One
public improvement costs to a minimum, as would be possible under
either Phase One alternative.
Swenson urged the Council to strongly consider the option of con-
verting the Instant Web building to a Community Recreational
Center, especially since Kraus - Anderson has presented no specific
plans for use of the back portion of the building.
Cliff Whitehill felt that special attention should be directed
towards reuse of the Instant Web building during Phase One nego-
tiations, since the City made a substantial investment in the
property for the purpose of converting it into a use which is
compatible with the downtown business district. He suggested
that part of the building be utilized for the grocery store.

BLOOMBERG COMPANIES STATUS REPORT: Herb Bloomberg presented a
brief update on the status of his Company's financial condition
and reitereated his support of'the adopted Downtown Redevelopment
Project Plan. He said that he still believes that there is a
need for an 80 -120 room Hotel in downtown Chanhassen, and that
Bloomberg Companies is still interested in participating in the
future development of the downtown. He stressed the importance of
the southern portion of the planned ring road, especially insofar
as improving the design image of downtown.
Bill McRostie of Bloomberg Companies said that they could live
with either of the two alternatives presented by Kraus - Anderson.
He added that some advantageous use must be made of the back por-
tion of the Instant Web building in a very early phase of redevel-
opment if the overall plan is to succeed. He said that
Bloomberg Companies would have no problem "in principle" with a
Kraus - Anderson development on the site of the Frontier Building.
Tim Russell suggested complete demolition of the Instant Web
building as a viable alternative which should be considered when
options are developed in the near future.

CHANHASSEN DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
POSITION PAPER ON STATUS OF PROJECT AND TID #1
Prepared by Downtown Project Steering Committee
Thomas Hamilton, Mayor
Cliff Whitehill, HRA Vice - Chairman
Ladd Conrad, Planning Commission Chairman
The Downtown Redevelopment Project Steering Committee was
established by the Chanhassen City Council on October 7, 1982,
and was given the following duties and responsibilities:
1). To evaluate the current status of the Project and Tax
Increment District #1;
2). To formulate specific options and alternatives available
to the City in regards to Project implementation;
3). To review and comment on specific redevelopment plans
submitted to the City by the Project Redevelopers, and
to determine the consistency of such Plans with the
goals and objectives of the Redevelopment Project; and,
4). To report the findings and recommendations of the
Committee to the City Council, Housing and Redevelopment
Authority, and Planning Commission.
The Steering Committee met on October 14, 1982 and reviewed the
goals and objectives of the adopted Redevelopment Project Plan as
well as the historical background of the project. The Committee
also reviewed a preliminary report on the financial condition of
Tax Increment District #1 and discussed possible options
available to the City in light of the District's financial con-
dition. Finally, the Committee reviewed the two alternative
redevelopment plans submitted to the City on October 7, 1982 by
Kraus - Anderson Development Corporation.

POSITION
STATEMENT
Based on
our review and assessment of the above issues, the
Steering
Committee supports the following positions concerning
the Downtown Redevelopment Project:
1).
The City continues to support the overall Downtown
Redevelopment Project, and reaffirms the City's desire
—
to implement the adopted Core Area Concept Plan,
including:
A. Establishing a local retail shopping area which
compliments our new industrial growth and protects
existing housing values by providing local shopping
convenience; and
B. Establishing a definable downtown area whichfprovides
sufficient land area to support short and long
—
range local retail needs; and -
C. Relocating inappropriate land uses so as to provide a
—
better aesthetic appearance for existing property
owners as well as attracting new businesses; and
D. Upgrading municipal infrastructure (storm sanitary
—
sewers, water, etc.) including a road system which
better utilizes commercial properties and protects
residential land uses; and
E. Developing a compact commercial core which provides local
retail and service opportunities to the residents
of Chanhassen, including a full -line supermarket;; and
F. Supporting the concept of the ring road as a means
to accomplish stated goals and as a means to provide
local identity, i.e. open courtyard concept.
2).
The City will not renew or extend the existing
Redeveloper Agreements with Kraus - Anderson Development
Corporation and Bloomberg Companies when both agreements
expire in November, 1982. The City is not prepared at
this time to grant exclusive development rights within
the Downtown Core Area to any developer. The City
desires to retain the maximum degree of flexibility in
the redevelopment program and to keep our redevelopment
7
options open in order to accommodate proposals and input
from a wider range of developers. The City recognizes
the fact that extension of the existing redeveloper
r
!
agreements would not guarantee completion of the private
Steering Committee
Position Statement
Page 3
improvements outlined in the agreements. Consequently,
the agreement expiration date is not a critical deadline
date from the City's perspective.
3). The City intends to assume a much stronger leadership
role in the redevelopment process in order to stimulate
development consistent with the Redevelopment Plan.
Towards this end, the City is re- evaluating its ability
to provide additional development incentives which may
be successful in attracting desired redevelopment propo-
sals, such as a full -line supermarket. The City also
intends to evaluate the potential for the HRA to assume
the role of developer, in an effort to stimulate devel-
opment. Finally, the City will attempt to accelerate
the redevelopment process by completing first phase
public improvements (to the extent such is economically
feasible) consisting of utility relocations and
construction -of the north half of the ring roadrF
4). The City intends to renew the Purchase Option Agreements
for the Havlik and Riviera properties prior to their
expiration on December 1, 1982, and intends to exercise
both options before August 31, 1983. Acquisition of
both properties is critical to the successful implemen-
tation of the Downtown Redevelopment Project.
5). The City intends to evaluate options for both short -term
and long -term reuse of the Instant Web building during
the next 60 days. The City will evaluate the feasi-
bility of converting the IW building to uses consistent
with the Downtown Plan, including retail, office, enter-
tainment, and recreational uses. This feasibility study
is intended to determine if the building is an impedi-
ment to Downtown Redevelopment or if it is a marketable
asset.
CONCLUSION
The Downtown Redevelopment Project Steering Committee is opti-
mistic about the future of Downtown Chanhassen. We are espe-
cially encouraged by the financial health of the tax increment
district. We believe that the City should assume a much stronger
leadership position than was possible during the first few years
of the Redevelopment Program. Time is on our side. We should
seek only the highest quality project for Chanhassen and not
settle for anything less. We believe that the positions outlined
above will provide us with an opportunity to have the best
possible project.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPT.
Evaluation of the Revised Kraus- Anderson Development Proposal
— You have requested that we review the latest redevelopment plan for the CBD area
as proposed by Kraus - Anderson Development Company.
— The plans under discussion consist of four boards, dated 9/27/82 and 9/29/82,
and illustrate a basic scheme for Phase One and Phase Two as well as an alter-
nate scheme for Phase One and Phase Two development. Our comments do not repre-
sent a general design critique but rather are directed at assessing how well
- these plans relate to the adopted project plan as described in the Preliminary
Feasibility Study and Design Report.
- Since the two plans (the basic plan and the alternate) represent essentially
the same concept, we will deal with them as one scheme, except where indicated
otherwise. We will evaluate the plan in terms of development program, layout,
relationship to other developments, and implementation.
1. Development Program
The first phase of the Kraus - Anderson proposal will consist of approxi-
mately 50,000 S.F. of retail (leasable and service area) plus 8,000 S.F.
of enclosed sidewalk area. This is far below the originally proposed
- 158,000 S.F. of retail /office (84,000 S.F. of new retail and 74,000 S.F.
of office, retail and /or recreation) for Phase One development. Also,
the current proposal Indicates a 12,000 S.F. food store whereas the ori-
ginal plan included a 35,000 S.F. full -line supermarket.
2. Layout
The current proposal shows a linear development parallel to and south of
W. 78th Street with all parking located between the structure and 78th
Street. This essentially represents a "strip center" and is in marked
contrast to the compact mall and courtyard combination approach of the
- MINNEAPOLIS DENVER CHEYENNE
PHOENIX
October 28, 1982
Scott Martin
Kraus - Anderson Development Proposal
Page 2
original plan. Because of the linear layout, the walking distances
within the enclosed sidewalk become excessive (over 1,000 feet from one
end to the other); and, the visual and spatial experiences would not
approach the potential of the original plan. The basic plan, in addi-
tion, relocates the ringroad further to the west thus requiring more land
acquisition and reduction in the size of the adjoining parcels.
3. Relationship to Other Developments
The linear plan would weaken the linkage and interrelationship to the
other uses, such as the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre and the commercial or
hotel uses in the northeast corner. Furthermore, by elongating the deve-
lopment as proposed in either of the alternatives, many tennants would
not relate to the courtyard at all. They are simply too far west. In
this plan there appears to be little relationship between the center and
the Instant Web building.
4. Implementation
In terms of implementation there are two major concerns. First, if the
initial phase is developed totally as a strip center with all access and
parking "out front," it is improbable that phase two could be developed
"in frontf' of the existing stores. Leases may preclude blockage from the
street and /or adjacent parking; tennants in the initial phase might find
difficulty in conducting business during the construction period of the
second phase; tennant types in a total linear Phase I might be quite dif-
ferent from the tennant mix found in at least a partially enclosed or
open mall concept. Second, if the first phase is developed as a rela-
tively small strip center with a small grocery store, this will preempt,
for a long time, the development of a full -line supermarket.
In summary, while the adopted CBD Plan and the revised submittal by Kraus -
Anderson may appear on the surface to be quite similar, in fact there are
substantive differences which cannot be ignored. For reasons of scale, building
organization, the ultimate implications for Phase II, and the size of the super-
market, we recommend that the City withhold its approval of the proposed revised
Phase I development as presently configured.

RE: Proposal for Professional Services to Conduct a
Feasibility Study for Adaptive -Reuse of the Instant Web
_ Building
The Downtown Project Steering Committee asked BRW, Inc. to submit
the attached proposal to the Committee for preparation of a
feasibility study which would explore the potential for adaptive -
reuse of the Instant Web building. The Committee reviewed this
proposal with representatives of BRW, Inc. on November 2nd, and
unanimously agreed to accept the proposal and to request funding
for the study from the BRA.
Also attached for your information is a preliminary report from
BRW concerning the potential for community recreational use of
the Instant Web Building. The proposed study would be much more
detailed than this report, and would also explore other possible
uses which would be compatible with the Downtown Project.
I have also attached a copy of the legal opinion prepared by
Holmes & Graven which pertains to the Instant Web Building.
I will be prepared to discuss this issue with you in more detail
at next Thursday's meeting, if you so deisre.
Approval of the Steering Committee's funding request for the
feasibility study is recommended from the Downtown Project Bond
Fund.

Attached you will find BRWts report on the Instant Web property. The report
includes the following:
o Conclusions
o Existing condition
o Potential community recreational uses
It is our conclusion that the facility can accommodate a wide variety of com-
munity recreational activities. This conclusion, in itself, is not reason
enough for the City to authorize a feasibility study. Several other issues must
be addressed by the City before the determination of whether or not a feasibl-
lity study should be undertaken can be made. Some of these issues are iden-
tified in the conclusions.
If the City decides to proceed with a feasibility study, BRW would be very
7 interested in performing the work. I know that David Bennett is looking forward
to presenting BRWts capabilities and experience to you on October 7, 1982.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call me.

INSTANT WEB BUILDING
POTENTIAL FOR COMMUNITY RECREATION ADAPTIVE REUSE
IONS
1. The Instant Web facility can very easily accommodate most community
recreation activities including:
• Racquetball /squash
• Medium -sized swimming pool
• Running track
• Volleyball gym
• Bowling
• Sauna /whirlpool /lockers
• Lounges /meeting rooms /crafts /etc.
It cannot accommodate the following:
o Indoor tennis
• Large swimming pool
• Indoor hockey
• Regulation basketball court
2. The precast high -bay area on the south (21,000 sq.ft.) is in very good con-
dition and offers the most potential and flexibility due to the large struc-
tural bays. The flat concrete roof is supported by steel beams and columns.
The concrete block high -bay area (35,000 sq.ft. In the middle) is less
attractive on the exterior, is not in excellent condition, has smaller bays,
but could accommodate most recreational uses.
The wood frame area to the north (21,000 sq.ft.) is the least attractive
area for adaptive reuse. its use is limited to meeting rooms and support
spaces. Upgrading to meet life safety requirements would be more elaborate,
while the building life expectancy would be the shortest of the three areas.
Furthermore, the wood frame area may not be needed since the two high -bay
areas total 56,000 sq.ft.
3. The following additional questions should be addressed by the City in deter-
mining if a feasibility study is of value:
• Does the City want to take on the financial and management respon-
sibility for providing community recreational services?
• Is there any public support for a community recreational facility?
• Are there any practical options for financing the project?
• Assuming Kraus Anderson does not exercise its option, and the City does
not want an industrial user on the property, are there any other uses
for the building besides a community recreation center?
4. The purpose of a feasibility study should be to answer the following
questions:
o What type and number of community activity spaces can be economically
supported by Chanhassen and the surrounding market area?
o How could the facility be physically developed to support the space
program?
0
I
0
I
How much would the project cost?
Based on projected income, financing of the capital improvements, and
the City's cash flow objectives, is the project financially feasible?
The study will require a recreational facility market consultant, an
architecture /engineering /planning consultant (such as BRW), and substantial
input from the City staff and City Council.
EXISTING CONDIT
There are three basic sections of the Instant Web facility:
o the southern two bays with precast wails
o the remaining high -bay area in the middle
o the wood frame area on the north side
1._ The southern high -bay area is more than 20 feet high. It is approximately
21,000 sq.ft., not including the loading dock area to the west. This area
is in very good condition. The large 421 x 27.51 structural bays provide
the most flexibility for conversion to recreational uses. The exterior pre-
- cast expression is reasonably attractive.
2. The remaining high -bay area in the middle is also more than 20 feet high and
includes about 35,000 sq.ft. of floor area. The approximately 27.51 x 26.5'
bays somewhat limit the flexibility for laying out recreational spaces. The
walls are concrete block with a folded plate roof deck supported by steel
beams and columns. Upgrading the insulation to meet the state energy code
may pose some problems since the metal decking is curved and does not appear
to be able to support much additional loading. The concrete block walls are
not in excellent condition (in terms of appearance, cracking, etc.), and the
- exterior appearance is both different from the precast section and not very
attractive.
3. The wood frame area to the north includes 36,000 sq.ft. of conventional
office height space. The floor of this area is about 10 feet higher than
the other areas. The structure is wood frame and wood joist. The west
10,000 sq.ft. is open warehouse space, and the remainder is sub - divided into
many small offices. The height precludes nearly all active recreational
uses. Also, fire protection requirements may require substantial additional
cost to accommodate community recreational uses within wood frame construction.
POTENTIAL COMMUNITY RECREATIONAL USES
The following analysis is based on the ability of the existing high -bay space to
physically accommodate various candidate program activities.
CAN IT BE
USE ACCOMMODATED? COMMENTS
Racquetball Yes
Squash Yes Placement somewhat limited by
additional required length and
width.
Indoor Tennis
No
Swdmming Pool
Yes
Medium -sized Pool (about 40' x
801) only. Pool would likely
be built down below the slab.
if so, the excavatlgn around
columns and footings is
somewhat complicated.
Running Track
Yes
1/8 mile track could easily
fit around the perimeter on
three sides.
Basketball Gym
No
Must remove a row of columns
and lower floor which probably
makes costs prohibitive.
Volleyball Gym Yes
Bowling Yes
Indoor Hockey No
In addition, sauna /whirlpool, lockers, showers /toilets, lounges, craft and
meeting rooms, kitchens, etc. can be accommodated in any part of the building.
Any new plumbing needed will necessitate cutting through the concrete floor
which is messy but not particularly complicated.

Re: Chanhassen Downtown Redevelopment Project
HOLMES & GRAVEN
CHARTERED
470 Pillsbury Center, Minneapolis. Minnesota 55402
Telephone 612/ 338 -1177
You have indicated that the Chanhassen Downtown Redevelopment Project (the
"Project ") was created as a redevelopment project pursuant to Section 462.521 and
a tax increment district (the "District ") pursuant to Section 462.585 of the
Municipal Housing and Redevelopment Act (the "HRA Act ") by action of the
Chanhassen Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the "HRA ") and the City of
Chanhassen (the "City ") in 1977 and 1978. I am assuming that no subsequent action
was taken by the HRA or City that would bring this District within the coverage of
Sections 273.01 through 273.08 of the Minnesota Tax Increment Financing Act (the
"Tax Increment Act")
Certain property owned by Instant Web (the 'Instant Web Property ") in 1977 and
1978 was included within the Project and was designated by the Chanhassen
Downtown Redevelopment Plan (the "Redevelopment Plan ") for acquisition by the
HRA and subsequent resale to the private sector for rehabilitation and commercial
retail use.
The HRA acquired the Instant Web Property in September, 1981 in contemplation
of resale to and rennovation by a specific developer. The developer was
subsequently unable to perform and the HRA and City are now contemplating other
uses for the Instant Web Property, including a transfer from the HRA to the City
for rehabilitation and use as a public recreation center.
You first ask whether the HRA is empowered to convey the Instant Web Property
to the City for a nominal price. There is ample authority in the HRA Act to
support a conveyance of redevelopment property by the HRA to the City. See,
Section 462.445, Subd. 1(5) and Section 462.445, Subd. 4(2). Normally, conveyances
must be made pursuant to Section 462.525, Subd. 1 and Section 462.541, which
require taking into account the fair market value of the property conveyed.
However, Section 462.525, Subd. 3 provides that an authority shall have
"the power to transfer by deed to local public bodies those pieces of
property which, in accordance with the redevelopment plan, are to be
devoted to public uses, ... Except for such property as may be
pay to the authority such sums as may be agreed upon."

Chanhassen Housing and Redevelopment
Authority
Larson & Mertz

This language seems to support the view that consideration for such an
intergrovernmental transfer could be nominal. In addition, cities are given broad
power with respect to redevelopment projects by Section 462.581, including the
authority to "do any and all things necessary or convenient to aid and cooperate in
the planning, undertaking, construction or operation of such project." We also find
nothing in the bond sales resolution or pledge agreement impeding the ability of the
RA to convey so as to render properties within the District tax exempt.
co it is our opinion that a conveyance for nominal consideration in t
case would be authorized. However, in order to do so, it is further our opini his on that
the Redevelopment Plan must first be amended pursuant to Section 462.525, Subd.
6 and that, since the amendment would "substantially alter or affect the general
land uses established in such plan," a public hearing and City Council approval
would be required.
In response to your second question, we can find nothing to support a contention
that an amendment of the Redevelopment Plan and a conveyance of the Instant
Web Property to the City for community recreation purposes would give rise to an
obligation on the part of the HRA to return previously collected tax increment.
Pursuant to Section 462.585 of the HRA Act, tax increment collections are based
upon the taxable status of property within the District as of each January 2nd. The
fact that as of Jaunary 2, 1983 the Instant Web Property may be tax exempt by
reason of public ownership will reduce both the original assessed value and the
current assessed value for 1983, but the statutes make no provision for retroactive
tax increment adjustments.
You then ask whether tax increment generated within the District can be used by
the City or HRA to remodel the Instant Web Property for use as a recreation
center. Section 462.585, Subd. 3 authorizes the use of tax increment to pay the
"public redevelopment costs" of a "redevelopment project." "Public redevelopment
costs" are defined in Section 462.545, Subd. 1 to include all costs authorized to be
incurred by the HRA Act in connection with a "redevelopment project." A
"redevelopment project" is defined in Section 462.421, Subd. 13 to include
"acquisition of real property and ... rehabilitation of buildings and improvements
thereon to ... eliminate obsolete or other uses detrimental to the public welfare
... or to provide land for needed public facilities." In addition, a "redevelopment
project" includes "installation, construction, or reconstruction of streets, utilities,
parks, playgrounds and other improvements necessary for carrying out the
objectives of the ... project." These definitions of "redevelopment project,"
together with the power granted HRA's in Section 462.445, Subd. 1(4) to "provide
for the construction, reconstruction, improvement, extension, alteration, or repair
of any project or part thereof" provides sufficient authority, in our opinion, to
utilize tax increment for the remodeling of the Instant Web Property, so long as
accomplished by the HRA while owned by it. Although not dispositive, it is

interesting to note that Section 273.75, Subd. 4 of the Tax Increment Act
specifically authorizes the use of tax increment to provide "a facility used for ...
recreational . purposes and not primarily for conducting the business of the
municipality."
Our conclusion that tax increment can be used by the HRA to remodel the property
before conveyance to the City for recreational purposes, does not alter our opinion
that the conveyance can be made for nominal consideration.
Your final question related to the need to hold public hearings and formally amend
the Redevelopment Plan, which we indicated above would be necessary.
We will be happy to discuss the conclusions of this letter with you at your

RE: Market Analysis Study to Determine Market Potential for a
Full -Line Supermarket in Downtown Chanhassen
The Downtown Project Steering Committee met on November 10, 1982
with representatives of Kraus - Anderson, BRW, Retail Systel{1s,
Inc., and staff to discuss means by which the City might success-
_ fully interest a full -line supermarket operator to locate in the
Downtown Project.
Mr. Elliot Olson, President of Retail Systems, Inc., provided the
Committee with a great deal of information concerning trade areas
and corporate philosophies for various types and sizes of
supermarkets.
Mr. Olson's firm specializes in retail market studies designed to
identify appropriate site locations for supermarkets and other
large retailers.
The Steering Committee has asked Mr. Olson to submit a written
proposal for professional services to the HRA which would provide
.the City with information concerning the market potential for a
full -line supermarket in the Downtown Project Area. His written
proposal will be forwarded to you as soon as it is available, .
which will hopefully be in advance of next Thursday's meeting. A
preliminary figure of $6,600 to conduct a 3 -4 week study was
quoted by Mr. Olson at the Committee meeting. Mr. Olson has been
asked to attend your meeting on November 18th in order to present

PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF CHANHASSEN FOR A STUDY OF THE POTENTIAL
FOR A SUPERMARKET IN THE DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
BY RETAIL SYSTEMS, INC.
Retail Systems, Inc. is a national company providing, research and
planning services to the retail industry. Headquartered in Plymouth,
Minnesota, it has branch offices in Atlanta, Georgia, and Portland,
Oregon. RSI specializes in programs to improve use of existing
retail facilities and planning for new ventures. RSI has developed
and uses the most modern and efficient retail business model. RSI
has worked with private developers in providing sales forecasts
which have been used to assess site costs and rental capabilities.
Our clients span the continent and the retailing field. Retail
Systems' experienced employees have a varied background from many
areas of retailing.
Background
The Chanhassen Downtown Regional Development Project is the result
of concern for the long -term viability of the existing commercial
area of Chanhassen. The preliminary feasibility study and design
report prepared by B.R.W. was preceded by initial planning efforts
that date back to 1969 and 1972. The study area is the existing
downtown Chanhassen, located north of the railroad tracks and west
of Trunk Highway 101.
Objective
The objective of the study is to assess the current and future
potential for a supermarket within the study area.
Methodology
Retail Systems' approach consists of the following sequential steps:
Step 1
Two to three hundred interviews with respondents scientif-
ically selected within the potential trading area to give a
representative sample of the customer base. This study,
conducted by telephone, will establish the existing shopping
patterns. It will also help in delineating the trade area,
and identify the competitors for a supermarket in Chanhassen.
Step 2
RSI will delineate the
town Chanhassen. This
mentioned phone survey
RSI will establish the
area and assess the fu
trade area for a supermarket in down -
delineation will be based on the above
and on established traffic patterns.
existing potential within the trade
-ure growth in this potential.
Step 3
RSI will construct a computer model of the Chanhassen food
marketing area. This model will include the existing and
future customer base and the competitive stores that are now
serving the Chanhassen area. The model will enable Retail
Systems to project sales for a supermarket or warehouse -type
supermarket in downtown Chanhassen if it was built today and
at different times in the future. The flexibility of the,
computer model allows projections for the specific performance
characteristics of different retailers and for different store
sizes and site plans. If it appears that a supermarket is not
presently viable, we will project the timing that it would be,
and the criteria needed.
Step 4
RSI will provide eight reports on the findings, including
our recommendations. We will make an oral presentation of
the study at your offices. .1

MEMORANDUM
TO: Chanhassen Housing and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Scott A. Martin, Executive Director
DATE: November 12, 1982
RE: Request by Chamber of Commerce for HRA Acquisition of Guy
Petersen Property at Intersection of Highway 5 and Dakota Avenue
Attached for your consideration is a request from the Chanhassen
Chamber of Commerce for HRA acquisition of property owned by Guy
Petersen and developed as a "Quick -Stop Grocery Store ". You
should note that this request was made by the Chamber during the
transition period between the operation of "Guy's Drive -In" and
the "Quick -Stop Grocery ", businesses on this site.
The acquisition of this property for the development of a
"gateway park" is consistent with both the Adopted Redevelopment
Plan and the City's Comprehensive Plan. However, the
Redevelopment Plan identifies the property for acquisition during
the second phase of the Downtown Redevelopment program. Earlier
acquisition will require the transfer of limited Phase One
resources to a lower priority project (according to the adopted
plan).
Recommendation
Although this acquisition request is generally consistent with
adopted City Plans for the area, I believe that acquisition is
premature at this time. Limited redevelopment funds should not
be allocated towards second phase activities to the detriment of
Phase One priorities. The owner has substantially improved.this
business property during the last two months, which will add to
future redevelopment program income. Consequently, I recommend
that no action be taken towards acquisition of this property at
this time. (If the HRA elects to pursue this acquisition,
however, an appraisal of the property should be ordered before
any acquisition negotiations commence.)

Chanhassen, Minnesota 55317
Dear Mayor Hamilton:
The Chanhassen Chamber of Commerce is interested in the visual appearance
of the Chanhassen community, community pride, and the protection and
enhancement of property values in the City.
We would like to have the City of Chanhassen examine the feasibility
of two special projects that have been discussed in Chamber of Commerce
Executive Committee meetings. The community improvements outlined have
been submitted and approved as Chamber of Commerce objectives by the
V general membership of the Chamber.
d First, we would like to have the City examine the possibility of acquiring
the triangle property owned by Guy Peterson at the entrance to the City
of Chanhassen for a "gateway park ".
A part, or all of this property, could be attractively landscaped in
cooperation with the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and would provide
an attractive entrance to our future commercial and retail district.
We have discussed the idea with Dr. Francis DeVos, Director of the
University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. He has indicated interest
in cooperating with the City of Chanhassen but has cautioned that
financial limitations and academic considerations may prevent active
participation. They will, however, act as advisors and consultants
to an acceptable community entrance project. They will discuss their
community involvement with the Board of Directors.
Burt Haglund, architect and designer, has agreed to prepare architectural
and landscape concepts for review by the Arboretum designers and officials
of the City of Chanhassen. Burt is a partner in Design Two, Inc. and a
member of the Chanhassen Chamber of Commerce. He has met with City

officials and is in the early planning stages in the preparation of
conceptual ideas for a "gateway park ".
The Chamber of Commerce Executive Committee would like to have the City,
together with the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, study the possi-
bility of acquiring the Guy Peterson property. The Chamber, however,
has agreed that they feel the property owners must be "fairly" compensated
for the land if the City agrees to the "gateway park" program.
,_.• The Chamber of Commerce Executive Committee feels that the delays in
the downtown redevelopment project should not impact progress and
planning and believe that a "gateway park" would become an attractive
landscaped pylon for the entire community. It would increase commercial
and retail property values and would provide residents with increased
community pride.
A second project discussed by the Chamber of Commerce is a continuing
reforestation project for the entire City. The Chamber of Commerce
would like to have the City consider offering maple trees (at cost)
r--
to residents of the City for yard plantings and boulevards.
Chanhassen means Sugar Maple in Dakota "Sioux" Indian language. The
Minnesota Landscape Arboretum has offered their cooperation in the
preparation of a guide to the proper planting and care of Sugar Maple
trees.
We feel, if the City provides direction, leadership and enthusiasm for
the suggested community improvement projects, we can enhance the already
existing beauty of the community and provide everyone with more reasons
for everyone to be proud of our City.
We have copied Don Ashworth, City Manager; Scott Martin, City Planner;
Ladd Conrad, Chairman City Planning Commission and Bill Gullickson,
Chairman of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
We hope you and other city officials will actively support our suggestions
and we look forward to meeting and working with you in developing the
suggested creative ideas into attractive realities.

all citizens of Chanhassen, in general.
Current active members on the task force include the following: John
Neveaux, Clark Horn, Jerome Carlson, Rod Hardy, Tom Heiberg, and Al
Klingelhutz.
^ I have been providing staff support to the task force since last
February, so I felt it appropriate to update you on recent efforts of
the task force to have Highway 5 upgraded in the immediate future.
Since a wide variety of efforts are currently underway, 'I` will not
attempt to summarize them here. Rather, I would like to review this
with you briefly at your next meeting and answer any questions you
may have at that time.
Attached are recently adopted City Council and Chamber of
Commerce Resolutions and a Chamber of Commerce mailing which per-
tains to a proposed revised Metropolitan Council Transportation
Policy Plan. I will also brief you on this and related issues
next Thursday.
Mayor Hamilton has requested that $500 in HRA funds be contri-
buted to the Task Force to assist them in their efforts to gain
Regional, State and Federal funding approval for upgrading
Highway 5. Since the need for major improvements to Highway 5 is
identified in the Adopted Redevelopment Plan and since this need
was further verified by the Traffic Analysis Report prepared for .
the HRA last spring by BRW, Inc., approval of this funding
request is recommended.

RESOLUTION
DATE: October 7, 1982 RESOLUTION NO. 82 -62
MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER: Neveaux SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER: Horn
RESOLUTION PERTAINING TO CITY REVIEW OF THE "REVISED TRANSPORTATION
DEVELOPMENT GUIDE /POLICY PLAN FOR THE YEAR 2000" PREPARED BY
METROPOLITAN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council has prepared a revised
Transportation Development Guide /Policy Plan for the Year 2000
(hereinafter referred to as the "Transportation Plan ") which is a state-
ment of the direction that major transportation investments are to take
between now and the Year 2000 in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area; and
WHEREAS, said Transportation Plan designates certain highways
which are planned to comprise the Metropolitan Highway System in the
Year 2000; and
WHEREAS, said Metropolitan Highway System Plan includes the
Construction of a new TH 212 from Chaska to Eden Prairie as a
Metropolitan Transportation priority; and
WHEREAS, said Plan does not include TH 5 in the Year 2000
Metropolitan Highway System, and therefore, does not recognize the need
for substantial upgrading of TH 5 as a Metropolitan Transportation
priority; and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council has requested comments con-
cerning said Transportation Plan from the City of Chanhassen prior to
November 15, 1982; and
WHEREAS, the Transportation Subcommittee of the Metropolitan
Council has scheduled a Public Hearing for October 12, 1982 in order to
take testimony concerning the revised Transportation Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Chanhassen has
reviewed said 'Transportation Plan, especially insofar as it impacts the
Citizens of Chanhassen.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Chanhassen offers the following comments for consideration by
the Metropolitan Council during their deliberations on the proposed
Revised Transportation Plan:
1. The Plan for Right -of -Way acquisition and construction of new
TH 212 is supported by the City of Chanhassen, with the need for
new TH 212 identified in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan.
Resolution #82 -62
2. The City of Chanhassen believes that TH 5 serves as a Regional
Transportation route, not as a local road. Highway 5 provides
the primary regional access to Downtown Chanhassen, therefore,
we recommend that TH 5 also be included in the year 2000
Metropolitan Highway System Plan.
3. According to a Traffic Analysis Report prepared for the City of
Chanhassen in March, 1982, TH 5 is in need of immediate upgra-
ding to four -lane divided arterial standards from I -494 west to
Carver County Road 17. Such improvements will relieve the
severe congestion and very long traffic delays presently
experienced during peak hours along this segment of TH 5. This
traffic study also recommends that TH 5 be upgraded to four-
lanes west of Carver County Road 17 to TH 41 by 1985 in order
to adequately handle forecasted traffic volumes.
P 4. Due primarily to capacity limitations and traffic operations
problems which exist at uncontrolled intersections on TH 5, the
average accident rate along TH 5 within the City of Chanhassen
_ was 15 percent higher than the average rate for similar roads
in the Western Suburban Area during the period of 1976 -1980.
5. Redevelopment activities designed to induce development in the
City of Chahassen are presently underway. These activities are
consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and with the
goals and policies of the Metropolitan Council. However, in
order to be successful in promoting the orderly economic deve-
lopment of the City and the Region, adequate Regional
Transportation facilities must be developed. In keeping with
the goals contained in the revised Transportation Plan, the
City of Chanhassen believes that upgrading TH 5 will "produce
positive impacts upon the social, economic and physical
environment, and conserve the supply of Metropolitan energy
resources ".
6. The Transportation Plan emphasizes the need to make maximum use
of existing Transportation facilities before resources are com-
mitted to major new investments, and that all Transportation
investments, should be made on the basis of need. The City of
Chanhassen supports this general policy. We believe that the
most cost - effective approach towards improving the regional
transportation system which serves Transportation Subregion 3
would be to upgrade TH 5 to four -lane arterial standards.
Under this policy, improvements to TH 5 should receive a higher
priority than the construction of new TH 212. Right -of -Way
acquisition and grading costs will be substantially higher for
a new TH 212 corridor than they would be to upgrade the
existing TH 5 corridor. The upgrading of existing transpor-
tation systems makes more sense than does the construction of
new systems, expecially when highway construction funds are
scarce.
-2-
Resolution #82 -62
C
7. The City of Chanhassen urges the Metropolitan Council to re-
evaluate the Regional significance of the TH 5 corridor in light
of these comments, and pledges the full support and cooperation
of the City in any efforts to provide the residents of
Chanhassen (and of the Metropolitan area in general; with good
accessibility to subregional and regional opportunities.
Passed and Adopted by the City Council of the City of
Chanhassen this 7th day of October, 1982.

A RESOLUTION REQUESTING MODIFICATION OF THE "REVISED TRANSPORTATION
DEVELOPMENT GUIDE /POLICY PLAN FOR THE YEAR 2000" PREPARED BY THE
METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council has prepared a revised
Transportation Development Guide /Policy Plan for the Year 2000
(hereinafter referred to as the "Transportation Plan ") which is a
statement of the direction that major transportation investments
are to take between now and the Year 2000 in the Twin Cities
Metropolitan Area; and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council has formally r,erquested
review and comments concerning said Transportation Plan from
Metropolitan Area citizens prior to November 15, 1982; and
WHEREAS, the Chanhassen Chamber of Commerce has reviewed
said Transportation Plan, especially insofar as it impacts
Business and Citizens of Chanhassen; and
WHEREAS, said Plan does not include TH 5 in the Year
2000 Metropolitan Highway System, and therefore, does not
recognize the need for substantial upgrading of TH 5 as a
Metropolitan Transportation priority; and
WHEREAS, TH 5 is over capacity and deficient at the
current time; and
WHEREAS, new Highway 212 through Chanhassen, from Eden
Prairie to Chaska, does not currently exist and is not scheduled
for construction before the year 2000; and
WHEREAS, improvement of TH 5 would provide the greatest
cost benefit for the limited public dollar in serving the south-
western Metropolitan Area; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Chanhassen has
already gone on record in support of this resolution;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED By the Board of Directors
of the Chanhassen Chamber of Commerce of the City of Chanhassen,
Minnesota:
1. T.H. 5 should be included in the Revised
Transportation Development Guide /Policy Plan as part of the
Metropolitan Highway System.
Page 2
2. The Metropolitan Council should direct the
appropriate implementing agencies to incorporate improvements to
T.H. 5 in their current Capital Improvement Programs as a top
priority project.
3. TH 5 should be upgraded immediately to four -lane
divided arterial standards from I -494 west to TH 41.
Adopted by the Board of Directors of the Chanhassen
Chamber of Commerce on this day of November, 1982.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN
WE NEED YOUR HELP!! OCT 2 8''
The Chanhassen Chamber of Commerce Transportation rTaskuNForaeVELOPMENT DEPT,
is organizing a "write -in and call -in" campaign aimed at con -
vincing the Metropolitan Council and State Legislators that
Highway 5 is in need of immediate upgrading, and we need your
help!
The Metropolitan Council has prepared a revised Transportation
Plan for the year 2000 that does not include Highway 5 in the
Metropolitan Highway System. If this Plan is adopted in its pre-
sent draft form, State and Federal funding for Highway 5 improve-
ments will be extremely difficult to obtain, since the
Metropolitan Council has considerable influence over transpor-
tation improvement programming and funding in the Seven County -
Metro Area.
Therefore, our initial goal is to convince the Metropolitan
Council that Highway 5 serves as a regional transportation corri-
dor, and should therefore be included in the Metropolitan Highway
System.
A Public Hearing on the Revised Metropolitan Transportation
Plan was conducted on October 12, 1982. Mayor Hamilton presented
a City Council Resolution at this hearing which urges the
Metropolitan Council to include Highway 5 in the Plan and empha-
sizes the need for immediate upgrading of Highway 5 to four -lane
divided arterial standards from I -494 to Highway 41.
However, it is still not too late for you to express your
opinion to the Metro Council concerning Highway 5. The official
Public Hearing record will remain open for public comment until
November 15, 1982.
Your support in the form of direct personal contact or
correspondence with State Legislators, Metropolitan Council
representatives, and community leaders would be most effective in
convincing transportation decision - makers of the urgent need for
Highway 5 improvements.
Regardless of wlc_her you choose to call or( write concerning `
the future of Highway 5, the Transportation Task Force recommends
that the following points be addressed:
- Highway 5 serves as a Regional transportation route, not as
a•local route, and therefore should be included in the
Metropolitan Highway System.
- Upgrading Highway 5 to a four -lane highway seems more cost
effective and realistic than does the construction of a new
TH 212 prior to the Year 2000. Transportation Policy #3 in
the proposed plan says that Transportation Systems should
be developed and managed to utilize existing investments
more efficiently and effectively." The upgrading of
existing transportation systems makes more sense, espe-
cially when highway funds are scarce. Highway 5 right -of -way
acquisition costs would be minimal compared to costs for
acquisition of TH 212 right -of -way.
- Highway 5 serves as Chanhassen's principal transportation
link to the freeway system, so travel time to I -494 is cri-
tical to your business. (Information on the average number
of existing and projected future daily trips generated by
your business, the origin /destination of those trips,
average travel time to I -494 during your peak traffic
hours, and the cost in terms of man -hours due to traffic
delays, etc. could demonstrate the impact of Highway 5
capacity problems on your business operations.)
- Any information you may have concerning traffic accidents
on Highway 5 involving your employees in their personal
automobiles or in company vehicles.
- General comments on the relationship between transportation
facilities and the operation of your business.
- The Traffic Analysis Study prepared for the City of
Chanhassen in March, 1982 projects average daily traffic to
increase by more than 458 from 1980 to 1985 on that segment
of Highway 5 adjacent to downtown Chanhassen, and by another
64% during the period of 1985 to the year 2000. In .
terms of actual volumes, traffic is projected to increase
from 16,000 vehicles per day in 1980 to 23,500 in 1985, and
to 38,600 vehicles per day in the year 2000. Moreover, the
capacity analysis for Highway 5 indicates that by 1985,
without upgrading, Highway 5 segments in Chanhassen will be
operating near or over capacity during peak periods,
resulting in "severe congestion and long delays along
Highway 5 ". The Traffic Study concludes that "the
upgrading of Highway 5 to four -lane divided arterial stan-
dards between New County Road 17 and I -494 is needed
immediately ", and that "current traffic volumes justify
this improvement ". By 1985, Highway 5 should be upgraded
all the way to Highway 41 according to the traffic study.
Any additional comments you may wish to add to the above
ideas would certainly be helpful in presenting Chanhassen's case
7 to the Metropolitan Council and State Legislators.
