Call to Order
Vice - Chairman Horn called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m.
- Present were Commissioners Bohn, Horn, Robbins, and Swenson.
Whitehill arrived shortly after the meeting had begun. No one
was absent. Executive Director Martin was also present.

Commissioner.
Approval of Minutes
Bohn moved, seconded by Swenson, to approve the minutes of the
October 20, 1983 meeting as presented. All voted in favor and
the motion carried.
Proposed Sale of HRA Property (Parcel #8) located at 7901 Gres
Chairman Whitehill opened the Public Hearing for consideration of
the purchase offer made by Gary Brown for BRA Parcel #8. Mr.
- Brown's offer provided for purchase of the property at the HRA
appraised value, less an amount equal to 78 of the value of the
improvements he constructs on the property. His proposal is to
build and operate a three -bay self- service car wash on the site.
The City Council approved the project on December 5, 1983.
Martin recommended approval of the sale to Brown for a cash price
of $16,435, which includes the 78 development incentive. He
further recommended that a redevelopment agreement be entered
into between Brown and the HRA which spells out the specific .
terms of the sale.
Frank Kurvers, 7220 Chanhassen Road, was present and submitted a
purchase offer to the Board for purchase of the property for
$19,487. Mr. Kurvers' offer did not include a proposal for
development of the property.
Martin advised the Board that the Public Hearing notice provided
that no other bids or offers for the property would be considered
by the Board during the Public Hearing. Therefore, if the Board
wanted to consider the Kurvers offer, the HRA Attorney recommends
i^ that the Brown offer be rejected, and that the Board advertise
the property for sale and /or redevelopment, open to anyone
interested in the property. If the Board wishes to accept the
Brown offer, the Attorney advised that the Board may do so
without further public notice.
Swenson moved, seconded by Whitehill, to close the Public
Hearing. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Chanhassen HRA Minutes
December 15, 1983
Page 2
Whitehill moved, seconded by Swenson, to approve Resolution #83 -8
accepting the purchase offer of Gary Brown for HRA Parcel #8,
subject to the recommendations of the Executive Director dated
December9, 1983, and authorizing the Executive Director to execute
a Redevelopment Agreement to be prepared by the HRA Legal Counsel
on behalf of the ERA. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Downtown Project Market Study - Preliminary Report
Richard Sollie of James B. McComb & Associates presented a preli-
minary report to the Board concerning the retail and office
market study his firm is conducting for the Downtown Project
area. Mr. Sollie distributed several tables and maps to the
Board containing socio - economic data for the Downtown Chanhassen
Trade Area. His preliminary findings include market support for
20,000 - 25,000 square feet of new convenience oriented retail
space in Downtown Chanhassen by 1985, increasing to a total of
35,000 - 40,000 square feet by 1990. He also explained that a
60,000 - 70,000 square foot Specialty Center housing shops for
antiques and arts and crafts produced by Minnesota Artists /Artisans
could be developed by 1985. Office space needs appear to be in
the 20,000 - 30,000 square foot range by 1985, with an additional
50,000 - 75,000 square feet of new office space needed by 1990.
His study of the market potential for a downtown full- service
supermarket is still underway, so no conclusions have been
reached as yet.
The Board briefly discussed the consultant's preliminary findings
but took no action. The final study will be presented at the
January, 1984 meeting.
- Presentation by JLH Associates
s
Mr. Jack Henning and Mr. Bill Howard, representing JLH Associates
and Historical Development Corporation respectively, were present
to express their interest in developing the Downtown Project.
Their proposal provides for phased construction over a three to
five year period, with first phase construction including the
renovation of approximately 50,000 square feet of the old Instant
Web building, including a 24 lane Bowling Center and construction
of 20,000 square feet of new retail space on the Instant Web
site. They are also negotiating with a major supermarket tenant
and hotel owner interested in the project area.
The developers requested a 120 day period of exclusive negoti-
ation rights within the Downtown Core Area so that financing
and tenant committments could be arranged.
Their proposal would allow for the phasing of planned Downtown
public improvements and includes a tentative request for
Industrial Revenue Bond financing for the project.
Martin explained that the Board has received very limited infor-
mation from the prospective developers, and felt that approval of
exclusive negotiation rights at this time may be premature.
-Chanhassen HRA Minutes
February 22, 1984
Page 3
Whitehill asked the developers to submit more information con -
cerning their development experience and more specific plans for
their proposal.
The Board took no action on the developer's request for a special
meeting in early January and for exclusive negotiation rights
within the Downtown Project Area. The Board suggested that the
developers submit a comprehensive proposal for consideration by
the Board during the January 26, 1984 meeting.
Status Report on Community Recreational Facilities Committee Work
Program
Don Ashworth, City Manager, presented a brief status report on
the progress made to date by the Community Recreational
Facilities Committee in their study of the potential for public
reuse of the old Instant Web Building.
He explained that the Committee has been meeting regularly since
the end of August, and reviewed several options for reuse of the
building. The Committee has met with the parties interested in
developing the Bowling Center with JLH Associates, and generally
feel comfortable with such a use developed in conjunction with
public recreational facilities.
Ashworth said that the Committee will likely meet with the
prospective Downtown Project Developers in January and make their
recommendation to the Council as to whether the development of a
public recreation center should be pursued.
i
The Board thanked the City Manager for the status report and
asked that they be kept abreast of the Committee's future
progress.
Extension of Leases in old Instant Web Buildin
Horn moved, seconded by Swenson, to approve a four -month exten-
sion of leases with Animal Fair, Inc., Britt Corporation, and
Quality Temp, Inc. for rental of space in the old Instant Web
Building subject to continuation of the same terms and conditions
for each respective lease. All voted in favor and the motion
carried.
Amendment to Resolution #83 -5 - HRA Fund Transfers
Whitehill moved, seconded by Horn, to approve the Auditor's
recommended amendment to HRA Resolution #83 -5 clarifying the fund
transfers required for HRA bonded debt in accordance with Exhibit
3 of the recently adopted Tax Increment Financing Plan. All
voted in favor and the motion carried.

All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Bids for Snow Removal from Old Instant Web Building Roof
Bohn moved, seconded by Horn, to authorize the Executive Director
to obtain bids for the removal of snow and ice from the steel
roof section of the old Instant Web Building and to accept the
lowest qualified bid so that work could begin as soon as possible
in order to prevent potential structural damage to the building
and its contents. All voted in favor and the motion carried.

Call to Order
Vice- Chairman Horn called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. Present
were Commissioners Bohn, Swenson, Horn, and Robbins. Absent was
Commissioner Whitehill. Executive Director Martin was also present,
along with approximately forty (40) members of the general public.
Downtown Redevelopment Project Proposal: JLH Associates /Historical
Development Corporation
Jack Henning, Bill Howard, and Charles Adamson of JLH Associates pre-
sented their proposal for redevelopment of the old Instant Web pro -
perty in the Downtown Project Area. Frank Reese, project architect,
was also present to explain the concept plan prepared by his firm.
The developers proposed to renovate all but approximately 22,000
sq.ft.of the old Instant Web building and asked that the BRA deed them
the land and building necessary for their project. Their proposal
also included plans for 20,000 sq.ft. of new construction in the front
(north) side of the building for local retail /convenience shops, and
an optional supermarket containing 15,000 sq.ft. Total project cost
was estimated by the developer to be $2,750,000.
JLH Associates further asked that the HRA acquire land for and develop
parking facilities to the south and west of the building, and to par -
ticipate in financing the cost of public improvements required to
serve the project. Henning presented a plan for the overall Downtown
Core Area (dated Received 1/23/84) which included a large area within
which JLH Associates was requesting site control and exclusive nego-
tiation rights for the next 120 day period. He stated that site
control was critical if they were to be successful in arranging for
project financing.
Henning also pointed out that development of the proposed Bowling
Center hinged upon a firm commitment from the BRA by March 1, 1984.
This deadline is critical due to the requirement of the prospective
bowling center owners /operators that fall bowling leagues be announced
during March to assure a profitable operation next fall once the
center is open.
Commissioner Horn felt that the JLH plan was generally consistent with
A the adopted Downtown Redevelopment Plan, and that JLH Associates
should be given a 120 day period to negotiate a redevelopment
agreement with the BRA and to arrange financing, since there were no
other developers "beating down the door" to participate in the
Downtown Project.
Commissioner Swenson felt that the level of public financial
assistance being requested by the developer was too much.
Chanhassen HRA Minutes

Page 2
Bill Howard of JLH Associates reiterated the importance of site
control prior to their seeking firm financing and tenant commitments.
Robbins moved, seconded by Bohn, to grant exclusive negotiation rights
to JLH Associates for a period of 120 days (January 26, 1984 to May
25, 1984) for that portion of the Downtown Redevelopment Project Core
Area identified on the JLH Associates Downtown Redevelopment Project
Proposal Plan (dated "Received January 23, 1984) as the JLH Associates
"Site Control Area ". All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Downtown Project Market Stud - Final Report
Richard Sollie of James B. McComb & Associates presented their fin-
dings and conclusions from the retail and office market study con-
ducted by his firm for the Downtown Chanhassen trade area. The study
identified a market potential for an estimated 20,000 - 25,000 sq.ft. of
new convenience retail floor area by 1985, plus another 15,000- 20,000
sq.ft. by 1990. Potential also exists for a 60,000- 70,000 sq.ft.
Specialty Center by 1985 which has a theme centered around Minnesota
Artists and Artisans and Antique Shops. Finally, the study findings
concluded that 20,000- 30,000 sq.ft. of office space could be absorbed
in the trade area by 1985, with the potential for an additional
50,000- 75,000 sq.ft. of office space by 1990.
Mr. Sollie also pointed out their recommendation that a street connec-
tion be considered between West 79th Street and the western sector of
the Ringroad. This connection would strengthen the Central Business
District retailing function in their opinion.
The Board directed the Executive Director to pursue the idea of a new
roadway linking West 79th Street with the Ring Road.
The Board took no action on the Market Study, but thanked Mr. Sollie
for a well prepared study.
Approval of Bills
- Robbins moved, seconded by Bohn, to approve the bills for January,
1984, as submitted. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Adjournment
Bohn moved, seconded by Robbins, to adjourn the meeting at 9:30 p.m.
All voted in favor and the motion carried.

SUBJ: Status of Downtown Redevelopment Project Negotiations
Since no progress has been made in Downtown Project negotiations
with JLH Associates, I have invited Jack Henning and Bill Howard
of JLH Associates to Thursday night's meeting to give you a
first -hand progress report on their efforts and to answer any
questions you may have.
I have pursued the idea of a new roadway link -up between the
Ringroad and West 79th Street with BRW traffic engineers and have
further discussed our interest in a new railroad crossing with
Milwaukee Road representatives. Attached for your review is a
report on this proposal from BRW. I will brief you on my
discussions with the railroad at the meeting.
I will also update you during the meeting on my discussions with
our market consultant (Jim McComb) concerning the identification
of specialty center developers for the east end of the Downtown
Project.
Your questions or concerns regarding any of these issues would be
most welcome. -

RE: 79th Street / Ringroad Linkage
As per your request, following is our evaluation and recommendations regarding a
linkage between 79th Street and the core area ringroai west of State Highway 101.
The purpose of the linkage (Figure 1), as stated in the "Downtown Market
Study" by James B. McComb & Associates (January, 1984), would be to strengthen
the C8D retailing function 11 ... by providing direct access between the retail
facilities on West 79th Street and the recommended convenience and service
center" in the core area. The issues which you raised and which we are
responding to are: is such a linkage physically feasible, how will it impact
the traffic flow in the area, and where should the linkage be located?
1. Feasibility
— The feasibility of constructing this linkage depends on three factors:
acceptable grade elevations, availability of right -of -way, and the ability
to get an at -grade railroad crossing. ... _..
The grade elevations of the southwest corner of the proposed ringroad, as
Illustrated in Figure 11 of the "Preliminary Feasibility Study ,' and- Des ign
Report," are virtually the same as the grade elevations . of the railroad tracks
(approximately 956 feet) and therefore the construction aer�s;z -a
the railroad tracks in this location should present no major problems. i.
Right -of -way for locating the connection should be readily available since
I the four parcels between 79th Street and the southwest corner of the
I ringroad (shaded area in Figure 1) are undeveloped.
r
I
1
F
r
Y
t
The third factor, the need for an at -grade railroad crossing for the
linkage, may be somewhat more complicated because two at -grade railroad
crossings already exist in the core area at Highway 101 and at 78th.:ftt -reet.
Also, because the ringroad will be located right next to the railroaa tracks•.,..':.
there might be problems with safety, sight lines, and stacking disi3*! S.
These issues need to be resolved first prior to the commencement of;Shy
further planning or design of the linkage. "

2. Impact on Area Traffic Circulation
The key aspect, in terms of traffic circulation, is how the addition of the
linkage will impact the traffic on 79th Street and especially its intersec-
tion with Highway 101. Since 79th Street is expected to attract a lot of
highway traffic and since its intersection with Highway 101 is very close
(less than 250 feet) to the Highway 5 intersection, the danger exists of
overloading the 79th Street intersection - especially the left -turn movement
from northbound Highway 101 traffic into West 79th Street. To minimize
congestion at this intersection the following two steps should be taken.
First, a left -turn lane should be constructed at 79th Street as recommended
in the memorandum from BRW, Inc., dated March 14, 1980, regarding the
Highway 101 /S.E. Entrance (see attachment) and, second, all effort should be
made to discourage through traffic on 79th Street.
A linkage between 79th Street and the ringroad designed for smooth traffic
flow, such as when lined up with the westerly leg of the ringroad; could
provide a shortcut for people with destinations west of the core area and
thus could encourage through traffic on 79th Street. A linkage designed to
serve strictly as a connection between the two commercial areas and not
to facilitate through traffic would have no appreciable negative impact
on 79th Street traffic. A direct linkage between the two commercial areas
could in fact help to alleviate congestion at the 79th Street intersection
with Highway 101 by providing a second outlet from the 79th Street cul -de-
sac and thus help to minimize traffic on Highway 101.
In summary, the positive aspects of constructing a link between 79th Street
and the ringroad would include the following: increased convenience to
shoppers, reduced traffic on Highway 101, and potentially less congestion at
the 79th Street /Highway 101 intersection. The negative side would be that
some increase in traffic on 79th Street might occur due to a few people
trying to use it as a shortcut. The positive features, in our estimation,
would outweigh the negative one and therefore a linkage between 79th Street
and the ringroad would be a net benefit to the overall area circulation
system.
3. Location
As was discussed above, the linkage should be located and designed to pro-
vide a convenient interconnection between the two commercial areas but in a
way that does not encourage through traffic. Two ways to accomplish this
would be to make it discontinuous with the westerly leg of the ringroad and
to offset It from any entrances to parking lots in the core area.
Figure 2 illustrates the recommended corridor for locating the proposed
linkage. This alignment would provide the necessary connection between the
two commercial areas, it would permit an at -grade crossing at the railroad
tracks, and it would discourage through traffic on West 79th Street.

- MEMORANDUM
TO: Chanhassen Housing and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Scott A. Martin, Executive Director
DATE: April 17, 1984
SUBJ: Request for Development Incentive Payment: Lots 1 and 2,
Zamor Addition - Lawrence Zamor, Developer
Mr, Lawrence Zamor, developer of the commercial property where
the Holiday Service Station, Chanhassen Inn, and new Prairie
House Restaurant (under construction) are located, has submitted
the attached request for payment of a $7,500 "Development
Incentive Payment" for construction of the aforementioned
restaurant.
This matter dates back to the period of August, 1978 - November,
1979 when plans were considered by the City and HRA for the
Holiday Service Station and a previously proposed "Happy Chef"
restaurant. In an effort to provide for a more suitable building
setback and landscaped green space along Great Plains Blvd., the
HRA negotiated a "Development Security Agreement" with Holiday
Stationstores, Inc. and acquired a "perpetual conservation ease-
ment" from Mr. Zamor.
For these considerations, the HRA authorized a development incen-
tive payment of $7,550 to Mr. Zamor on November 15, 1979. At
this same time, the HRA allocated an additional $7,450 for a
development incentive "if a substitute developer is found (for Lot
2) and approved by the Authority ". Mr. Zamor's current request
is for payment of the development incentive allocated in 1979 for
Lot 2 for a suitable "family style" restaurant. The Prairie
House restaurant under construction on Lot 2 is indeed a "family
style" restaurant according to Mr. Zamor.
However, since nearly 4} years have lapsed since the HRA allo-
cated monies towards a development incentive for a restaurant on
this site, the HRA must act upon Mr. Zamor's current request
before any public funds can -be paid to Mr. Zamor.
Given the circumstances surrounding this matter, I have had the
City Attorney review the file to determine whether or not the HRA
has a legal obligation to make a secondary payment to Mr. Zamor
at this time. A copy of his legal opinion, which states that no
_ legal obligation exists, is attached for your reference.

Also, since the written record of the Board's proceedings during
the consideration of this matter in 1978 -1979 does not
necessarily provide the Board with the full story, I have invited
Don Ashworth (who was the HRA Director during that period) to
attend Thursday night's meeting to answer your questions and pro-
vide his perspective into the deliberations of 41 years ago.
I have attached copies of pertinent materials concerning this
matter for your reference, and will have a copy of the project
plans available for your review during the meeting.

Dear Scott:
Through the efforts of Don Ashworth in the Fall of 1979, the members
of the HRA, City Council and I entered into a purchase and buy -back
agreement which created for the City a conservation easement providing
the City with a larger green area along the east side of 101 to
enhance the entrance to the City. At the conclusion of the buy -back
agreement the City owed me $15,000. When the construction of the
Holiday Stationstore was completed on Lot 1 the City deposited $7000
into my account at the State Bank of Chanhassen. The remaining
$7,500 was to be deposited into my account when a family -style
restaurant was developed on Lot 2, Block 1. As you know, a
Prairie House Restaurant is nearing completion on this lot. I
request at this time that the $7,500 be deposited into my account.
Sincerely,
Lawrence N. Zamor

Re: Development Incentive for Lot 2, Block 1, Zamor Addition.
Dear Larry:
^1 have reviewed the records of the Chanhassen Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA) as they pertain to your recent request for payment of a $7,500
Development Incentive for the Prairie House Restaurant presently under construc-
tion on Lot 2, Block 1, Zamor Addition. -
According to our records, the HRA allocated $7,450 as a future development
incentive for Lot 2 by resolution of the Board adopted on November 15, 1979.
However, the Board's action was subject to future Board approval of a
"substitute" developer for the restaurant. (As you know, Happy Chef Systems,
Inc. was the original developer for this site, and the site plan approved by the
HRA was for a Happy Chef Restaurant.)
Since the Prairie House Restaurant project has not been reviewed or approved by
the HRA, your request for payment of a development incentive must be considered
by the Board before any payment can be made to you.
Therefore, in order to proceed with your request, I must ask you to present a
formal written request to the Board (delivered to my attention) at least two
weeks prior to a regular Board meeting. Your request should include twelve (12)
copies of the city approved site development plan for the Prairie House
Restaurant project, including the landscaping plan.
You may also wish to submit copies of any documents you have in support of your
request.
The next HRA meeting is tentatively scheduled for March 1, 1984. Future
.,.meetings are likely to be held on March 29th and April 19th.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have questions concerning this
matter.

Re: Holiday Stationstore
Dear Scott:
I have reviewed the HRA file in the above matter to determine
if the HRA is obligated to "allocate" $7,450 to acquire a con-
servation easement. The decision made on November 15, 1979 by
the HRA to allocate funds did not create a contractual obli-

Pryzmus. Assistant City Attorney, Craig Mertz, was also present.
Absent was Clifford Whitehill.
Mr. Mertz made a presentation reviewing the history of
the Holiday Stationstores, Inc. development proposal including
the Authority's actions of May 10 and 22, 1979, approving the
Holiday /Happy Chef project, including approval of $15,000
development discount to be recouped by means of tax increment
financing, and including the acquisition of a conservation
easement on a portion of the subject property.
Mr. Mertz informed the Commissioners of.correspondence
received from Happy Chef Systems, Inc. electing to drop out of
the project. Mr. Mertz further explained that Holiday Station-
stores, Inc. had advised the City Council of Holiday's desire to
proceed with its portion of the project notwithstanding Happy
Chef's action. Mr. Mertz explained that Holiday must obtain
approval from the Authority if it wishes to proceed with the
project alone and that this approval would be in the nature of
an alteration of the Authority's redevelopment plan for downtown
Chanhassen.
Commissioner Bohn moved the adoption of the following
resolution.
Whereas, the Authority hereby finds that there is a "necessity ",
within the meaning of that term as set forth in §462.525 (6)
of Minnesota Statutes, to alter the Authority's Chanhassen
Downtown Redevelopment Project plan as originally approved on
November 29, 1977; said necessity being occasioned by the Authority's
continuing desire to create a park -like gateway area at the
intersection of Highways 5 and 101, and by the declination of
Happy Chef Systems, Inc. to participate in said project;
Now Therefore Be It Resolved, that said Chanhassen Downtown
Redevelopment Project plan is hereby amended as follows:
a.� $7,550.00 of the $15,000.00 development
�•� incentive shall be allocated to Lawrence Zamor
and Holiday Stationstores, Inc., as the developers
of Lot 1, Block 1, Zamor Addition, Carver
County, Minnesota
b. That said development incentive shall be paid
to said developers in the form of a partial
purchase of said Lot 1 from said Mr. Zamor
and a resale of said portion of Lot 1 to
Mr. Zamor at a discount of $7,550; provided
that said portion of Lot 1, upon resale,shall
be subject to a conservation easement running
in favor of either the Authority or the City
of Chanhassen,or both.
C. That the Executive Director and Chairman are
hereby directed to proceed with attempting to
locate a substitute "family style" restaurant
developer for .Lot 2, Block 1, in said Zamor
Addition, who would be willing to participate
in the project on substantially the same terms
as had been offered to Happy Chef Systens, Inc.
40V d.
try
That $7,450.00 of the $15,000.00 development
incentive is hereby allocated to said Lot 2
if a substitute developer is found and appro
e. That the Authority hereby finds that the foregoing
changes do not have the effect of altering the
exterior boundaries of said Downtown Redevelopment
Project area, nor do they substantially alter
the general land uses in said plan.
Motion seconded by Pryzmus, ayes all.
The Commission members then reviewed final drafts of the
following documents:
1. Development Contract between the City of Chanhassen
and Holiday Stationstores, Inc. (hereinafter Holiday),
2. Security Agreement between the Authority and Holiday,
3. Warranty Deed conveying the aforementioned portion
of said Lot 1 to the Authority,
4. Quit Claim Deed reconveying said portion of Lot 1
to Mr. Zamor,
5. Conservation Easement Deed running from Mr. Zamor
to the City of Chanhassen, and
6. Proposed promissory note running from the Authority,
as debtor, to the City of Chanhassen, as creditor.
Mr. Mertz indicated that the Developers were in agreement
with the terms of the proposed security agreement,however, they
wanted Section 5 reworded to clarify that their landscaping
4 1
obligation was limited to the landscaping described in the
developers' Development_ Contract with the City.
A Motion was made by Commissioner Bohn authorizing the
Chairman and the Executive Director to execute said Security
Agreement on behalf of the Authority, after Section 5 has
been reworded as requested by Holiday. Motion seconded by
r Commissioner Pryzmus, ayes .all.
I Commissioner Bohn moved the adoption of the following
resolution:

C aforementioned Quit Claim deed to be $9,950 based on the
appraisals received into the Authority's record on May 22, 1979.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF
7610 LAREDO DRIVE*P.O. BOX 1470CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317
(612) 474 -8885
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Manager, Don Ashworth
DATE: September 17, 1979
SUBJ: Development Plan Amendment, Holiday /Happy Chef, Highways 5
and 101
To date, all approvals given by the City Council, i.e. rezoning, sub -
division, tax increment incentives, etc. have been conditioned upon
an "all or nothing concept ". Additionally, the approvals
given to the developer have been specific in nature, i.e. Holiday
and Happy Chef building in accordance with approvals given to each
of them jointly and exclusively.
As noted in Mr. Lee's letter, it now appears as though Happy Chef
does not wish to proceed with their portion of the project (see
tt attached letters). Mr. Lee is requesting three potential solutions
which may benefit his client, Mr. Zamor, in developing the property:
1). Allowing the development contract to be amended showing
Mr. Zamor as the developer for the Happy Chef building,
This option would then bind Mr. Zamor to meeting all
!� conditions of the development contract. The amendment
would also -show that Happy Chef would become owner and
bound to all operational conditions once an occupancy
permit has been given. This option, ihn'Mr..Zamor's
opinion, may pacify Happy Chef's belief that the City
will change conditions during the construction (for which
they would then become responsible for) and they would then
proceed with the project.
2). In the alternative that Happy Chef would not proceed
if the above amendment were agreed to by the City,
Mr. Zamor is also requesting that the City conceptually
approve another restaurant use if all other requirements
are met. 'If the City Council were to agree to this
request, such would have to be on the basis of conceptual
use only as it is very doubtful that another restaurant
_ use would have exactly the same setbacks, parking demands,
architectural styles, signage, etc. These points should
be noted in any, conceptual approval, if such were to be
authorized by the Council.
!T
Mayor and Council -2- September 17, 1975
3). To allow the Holiday Station to proceed, Mr. Zamor is
requesting that the City authorize City staff to sign
necessary papers allowing for such. This office assumes,
that if the council were to approve this request, that _
the Mayor and staff would be authorized to sign and allow

Re: Zamor - Holiday /Happy Chef Projects
Our File 31 8- b -L
Larry Zamor has been notified by letters from Richard L. Rice,
Architect, dated 8/15/79 and Tom Frederick dated 9/4/79 that
Happy Chef Systems, Inc. has abandoned their plan to operate
a restaurant in Chanhassen pursuant to a lease agreement with
Zamor. They stated that they were ready to proceed on 6/12/79
following HRA approval of the final landscaping plans. Since
that time they reviewed a number of amendments for the terms of
a Conditional Use Permit. They anticipated a short document
incorporating the standards shown in the plans and specifications
on file with the City. They object to the lengthy documents
submitted which, to them, seem to contain indefinite guidelines
and is open -ended in favor of the City. They particularly object
to the requirement that Happy Chef must sign the permit and that
the permit will contain provisions that they will be required
to pay all permit related enforcement charges (legal fees) incurred
by the City. They feel the latter provision does not encourage
thoughtful consideration -- that they would be responsible for
costs even if the City is wrong in bringing a petition before the
City Council or a court action to cancel their operational permit- -
that there are normal legal ways to enforce City regulations.
It may be that Happy Chef will reconsider their decision if they
are not required to sign the Conditional Use Permit - Security
Agreement. Zamor's lease with Happy Chef provides that Zamor
will build the restaurant and Happy Chef will take possession
and operate the facility following completion of the construction
project. Zamor is willing to sign the documents as developer
with the understanding that Happy Chef will be issued an operat-
tional permit following issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
If this solution is still unsatisfactory to Happy Chef, then Zamor,
the owner of the land, will have to look for and substitute another
firm as the user of the land in place"of Happy Chef. Larry would
like to avoid future lengthy proceedings before the City's commission:
and council when a new owner /operator is found. He does not intend
to apply for new of different uses for the property. Zamor needs

Zamor met with Brad Steinman of Holiday yesterday. Holiday is
ready to complete the sale /purchase of Lot 1. Brad states that
Holiday intends to build their facility as soon as they receive
approval of their request from the Federal Department of Energy
in Washington. They need to complete the purchase and have the
signed agreements with the City in their possession at the time
they make application. At the time of application, they must own
the property and literally have the building permits in their hand:
We cannot complete the sale /purchase of the property to Holiday
until the plat of Zamor Addition is approved, signed by the City,
and filed.
Therefore, Larry Zamor requests that this matter be placed on the
Council's agenda for action by the Chanhassen City Council on

1.
That, contingent upon Happy Chef's refusal to join

be further amended by a provision that Lots 2 and 3,

That the City Council approve and authorize the

Minneapolis, Minnesota 55426 Re: Chanhassen Happy Chef
Dear Mr. Zamor:
In our original program to construct a restaurant in Chanhassen
1 we were proceeding on the basis of a C -3 zoning for the property
under consideration,which was quite acceptable to us and the
requirements therein were compatible with our operation.
i
After we had developed a plot plan for this site, we were informed
the whole city was in the process of re- zoning under a master
plan developed by the Housing Redevelopment Authority. Under
this plan the site was designated as city "park."
After many meetings a plot plan was developed to provide a land -
scaped approach to the city in conjunction with our building site
and compatible with this "park" concept. Our assumption during
this process was that the zoning would remain as C -3. At the very
end of these meeting sessions the city informed us that the
zoning would also be changed from C -3 to C.B.D_ with a "conditional
use permit" requirement.
luSince then the city has written a Conditional Use Permit and
Development Security Agreement outlining the requirements we
would have to abide by and the costs inherent in this type of per -
mit. We have looked these documents over and find they are much
too restrictive and expensive for us to consider building in
Chanhassen. As a result we must reluctantly abandon this project
after incurring more in -house expense than we have ever experienced
in over 50 separate building projects in seven different states_
Sincerely,
Richard L. Rice

MAY 22, 1979
A special meeting of the Housing and Redevelopment

Mike Niemeyer, and John Pry:zmus. Also present was Assistant City
Attorney Craig Mertz.
PUBLIC HEARING
DISPOSAL OF HRA PROPERTY
HAPPY CHEF /HOLIDAY DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
Chairman Gullickson called the public hearing to order at
7:40 P.M. with the following interested persons present:
Larry Zamor,
Jerry Jenson, Representing Holidy Station -
stores, Inc.
The Assistant City Attorney explained that the proposal
in question consisted of the construction of a restaurant
building and a retail store building on Lots 1 and 2, Block 2,
Frontier Development Park (which Lots are to be replatted as
Lots 1, 2, 3, Block 1, Zamor Addition). State law allows an
HRA to offer incentives for the purpose of channeling develop-
ment activities into those areas of the city identified for
redevelopment. As a part of the subject proposal, the Authority
would acquire a portion of the subject property and resell it
to the developer at a discount of $15,000. The Authority would
also obtain a perr"ual open space tion or conservation
easement over the easterly and southerly margin of the site.
Commissioner Whitehill entered the meeting at 7:50 P.M.
The Chairman received into the hearing record a copy of
the published notice of public hearing, an appraisal report
dated April 26, 1979, prepared by Dixon and Associates,
appraisers, of Ale>andria, Minnesota; an appraisal report dated
May 1, 1979, prepared by Klinglehutz - Kravens, Inc., realtors,
o Midis, and a copy of the proposed option agreement
between the Authority and Larry Zamor, owner of the subject
property.
The Assistant City Attorney stated that the option agreement
would allow the Authority, upon exercise of the option agreement,
to gain control of the project site, and then resell the
property to a developer at a $15,000 discount.
The Assistant City Attorney then explained that after the
close of the public hearing, the Commissioners should take
action as follows:
a. to place an estimated market value on
subject property; and
b. to approve or disapprove the partial public
acquisition of the subject property; and
C. to approve or disapprove the resale of the
subject property to a developer at a $15,000
discount.
Thereupon, the Chairman opened the public hearing to
comment from the floor. Mr. Zamor and Mr. Jensen expressed their
interest in executing the project. At 9:00 P.M., Chairman made
a final call for additional public comment;.and hearing none, a
motion was made by Commissioner Pryzmus to close the public
hearing. Motion seconded by Commissioner Niemeyer, ayes all.
Resolution No. Commissioner Whitehill moved the
adoption of formal resolution amending the Housing and Redevelo-
-ment Plan for Downtown Chanhassen, so as to provide for the
public acquisition of a conservation easement area consisting
of approximately 012,000 square feet of Lots 1 and 2, Block 2,
Frontier Development Park, Carver County,Minnesota, consisting
of said lots for the purpose of creating a landscaped and
aesthetically pleasing open space gateway to the downtown
district. Resolution se=cbd by Commissioner Niemeyer. The
following voted in favor: Commissioners Gullickson, Pryzmus,
i Whitehill and Niemeyer.
Resolution No. Commissioner Pryzmus moved the
adoption of a resolution that the Authority finds the estimated
fair market value of said conservation easement area to be not
less than $19,900, and directing the Chairman to take all
steps necessary to acquire said conservation easement area at
a price of not to exceed $19,900 or$9,950 per lot. Resolution
seconded by Commissioner Whitehill. The following voted in
favor: Commissioners Gullickson, Pryzmus, Whitehill, and Niemeyer.
Motion carried.
i Commissioner Whitehill moved to direct the Chairman and
the Executive Director to investigate possible sources of
borrowing of the $15,000 development discount for the Holiday/
Happy Chef project, and to report back to the full commission
on the best available terms. Motion seconded by Commissioner
Niemeyer, ayes all.
~ Then the Commissioners proceeded to review the landscaping
plan for the Holiday proposal. Mr. Jensen stated that his
company wanted to delete any tall trees or bushes as described
in the landscaping plan reviewed by the Authority at its May 10,
1979 meeting. Mr. Jensen stated that his company was interested
y in limiting plantings to Hughes or Andorra junipers.
-2-
r
After discussion the consensus of-the Commissioners was
that they were unwilling to amend the landscaping plan as
approved on May 10, 1979, however Mr. Jensen was invited to
submit a specific landscaping amendment proposal for presentation
at the next meeting of the Authority; however, any such proposal
must be in writing, must be detailed, and must be substantially
similar to the previously approved landscaping plan.
Commissioner Niemeyer moved that the Authority would not
entertain any such amendment request unless it was a joint
submission of both Mr. Zamor and Holiday Stationstores, Inc.
Motion seconded by Commissioner Pryzmus, ayes all.
Commissioner Niemeyer moved that the Authority schedule
a special meeting for June 6, 1979 for purpose of further
reviewing the Holiday landscaping matter and the financing
alternatives as to funding the $15,000 development discount.
Seconded by Commissioner Pryzmus, ayes all.
The Commissioners then directed the Assistant City Attorney
to write to John Lee, attorney for Mr. Zamor, reminding Mr. Zamor
that any development agreement between the Authority and Mr. Zamor
would contain the provision for the posting of cash, or other
securities, sufficient to guarantee full execution of the
Holiday development proposal, and completion of the retail building,
and completion of the landscaping.
a The Commissioners then proceeded to interview Mr. T. Schoenekr
and Mr. T. Droegemueller for appointment to the vacancy created
by the resignation of Commissioner Klinglehutz. No decision on
the vacancy was reached,however, it was the consensus of opinion
that further interviews should be held on June 6, 1979.

Housing and Redevelopment Authority
May 10, 1979 - Chanhassen City Hall
A special meeting of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority was held
at City Hall on May 10, 1979, at 7:30 p.m. The following members were
present: Chairman Bill Gullickson, John Pryzmus, and Mike Niemeyer.
Guests present included Larry Zamor, Jim Burdick, and Don Ashworth,
City Manager. Absent was Clifford Whitehill.
1). Interview Candidates - The Commission interviewed Mr. James Bond.
Two other candidates were noted as desiring to meet with the HRA but
had a conflict in schedule. No decision was made,with interviews to
reoccur at the next meeting - May 22, 1979.
2). Approval of minutes - Commissioner Niemeyer moved to approve the
April 5th minutes as presented. Commissioner Pryzmus seconded.
Commissioner Gullickson abstained. Motion carried.
3). HRA Plan Amendment, Final Approval, Holiday /Happy Chef Proposal -
The Manager reviewed documents previously considered by the HRA.
Additional documents reviewed included the appraisals received for
the purchase of the easterly 50 feet of Lot 1 (adjacent to Great Plains
Blvd. and Highway 5). Manager noted that the terms of the purchase,
i.e. exercise of option agreement including price, specific terms of
the resale, etc. could not be considered until after City Council approva
.` of the plan amendment. These items were presented for information
purposes. Also presented were actions of the Planning Commission
wherein the Planning Commission had acted to recommend to the BRA that
the proposed plan amendment not be approved and that such purchase /resale
not occur through tax increment financing. Additionally, the Manager
noted that copies of the staff report in regards to site plan review,
signage, and landscaping were included together with actions of appro-
priate commissions. After discussion, the HRA generally agreed that
the order of business should be to act on the proposed plan amendment
and to subsequently follow that with recommendations to the City
Council regarding site plan review, landscaping, signage, etc.
General discussion occurred in regards to the Planning Commission
- recommendation. HRA members believed that a joint meeting with the
Planning Commission may be helpful to reaffirm the purpose of the tax
increment district and overall goals and objectives originally set by the
HRA. In addition to those sections of state law relating to findings
C of the City in establishment of a tax increment district, additional
local goals included: 1) establishing a means by which the commercial
and industrial tax base of the community could be expanded to ensure that
these elements, together with the existing residential element could
create a true city where people could live, work, and shop; 2) establish-
ing a means by which businesses could be encouraged to develop in areas
which were more conducive to City /HRA planning efforts; 3) establishing
a means to ensure that public indebtedness in municipal facilities
r ++. could be provided and paid for; 4) establishing a means to carryout a
4
1111.! rl1lluL - rlay 1u,
major redevelopment of the downtown area including establishment of-
retail business for the community, attractive municipal facilities -
including park and public improvement systems and associated uses;
and 5) establishing means to ensure that the industrial area could be
developed in accordance with plans for that area (anticipated in 1970,
but no public means available to assure construction of necessary roads,
sewers, water, etc. systems crossing numerous properties).
After further discussion, Commissioner Pryzmus moved that the HRA
approve the plan amendment to acquire an additional 50 feet along
the easterly side of Lot 1 (adjacent to Great Plains Blvd.) and that
such plan amendment would be accomplished through a) public acquisition
of the tract, b) resale of the property at a discount, and c) by recouping.
discount costs through tax increment proceeds associated with the
proposed Happy Chef /Holiday development. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Niemeyer. Ayes all.
Site Plan Review - The Commission acted to recommend to the City Council
that each of the following sections of the site plan be considered by
the City Council in any positive action on the proposed development
plan. The Commission reaffirmed that, as the HRA was recommending City
participation in the purchase /resale of the easterly 50 feet of the
property, that the development that is proposed adjacent to this green
area could significantly enhance the soft entrance concept or seriously
detract from the soft entrance. As such, the Commission generally believes
that the following site plan comments were critical to the HRA purchase/
resale concept of the westerly 50 feet.
1). Planting and Landscaping Plan - After review, Commissioner
Gullickson moved that the following amendments to the planting and
landscaping plan (as prepared by Natural Green and as noted by Mr. Zamor
as being the developer's proposed planting plan) be considered by the
City Council and final consideration of such planting and landscaping
plan;
ea). that the theme of the planting plan (general intensity and
types of material) be continued along the westerly property line of the
Happy Chef property;
b). that the plan be amended to include the boulevard trees
(no specific species recommended but such should be in accordance with
the overall plan including size, i.e. lindens, hard maple, etc.;
8-c). that plantings between the two buildings (Happy Chef/Holiday)-
be continued southward;
d). that the berming in the back portion of the Holiday building
be extended so that the two berms would meet and continue.to the building
line. The purpose of such would be to reduce the overall visibility
impact of the back portion of the Holiday Station and amenity of the
green area. General extension of contour lines was shown on the planting
plan presented to the HRA and as on file in the HRA files.
The above motion was seconded by Commissioner Pryzmus, ayes all.
's
2). Signage - After general discussion two motions were presented,
both dying for a lack of a second. General discussion occurred during
'._ which time Commissioners noted that affects of a freestanding sign both
from an intensity of lighting standpoint as well as _ aesthetic consider-
ations, could significantly detract from the soft entrance theme desired.
However, the HRA also noted that this was a business and if a building
mounted sign would not be legible on Highway 5 that a freestanding sign
should be considered. Additionally, members noted that prior to any final
decision on this item representatives of Holiday
should be present to state their views on any proposed signage.
Commissioner Gullickson moved to recommend that the City Council
not act on the sign request, either supporting the staff recommendation
or the Sign Committee recommendation, but that, instead, that the City
Council refer this issue to the HRA for final decision at their May 22nd
meeting. This action only affecting the signage for the Holiday Station.
Motion seconded by Commission Niemeyer, ayes all.
9- Commissioner Niemeyer moved to accept the recommendation of the Sign
Committee in regards to the Happy Chef signage. Seconded Commissioner
Pryzmus. Ayes all.
3). Architecture - After general discussion; Commissioner Niemeyer
moved that the elevation plan submitted in regards to the Holiday Station
r be amended to require that the mansard roof, as proposed by the applicant,
be continued on all four sides of the structure. Commissioner Pryzmus
seconded, ayes all.
4). Review Solicitation for Proposals - Downtown Redevelopment Plan - The
j City Manager presented the proposed letter which will request developers
to present proposals for completing the downtown plan in accordance with
the concept plan adopted by the HRA. Such letter includes responsibilities
of the developer as well HRA and reflects potential methods of selection
of bidders. The Manager noted that, as the HRA had not had significant
time to review the proposed letter for solicitation of proposals, that
amendments could be called into City Hall this next week. Additionally,
that the proposed format requests one bid for the entire project. After
further review, it is recommended that this portion of the proposal be
modified to identify development sections. In doing such, potential
bidders could bid one or more of the proposed development areas.
After further review, it was moved by Commissioner Niemeyer that the
above letter of solicitation, as proposed to be amended, be approved
and that the Manager be authorized to prepare color photos of both the
sectional development plan as well as color photos of the painting
r prepared by Bloomberg Companies (assumes their agreement to use such).
Motion seconded by Commission Pryzmus. Ayes all.
Commissioner Niemeyer moved that the Manager determine the feasibility
of the HRA hiring a shared (circuit rider) planner to be shared by other
communities and that such feasibility be completed within the next two
weeks. General discussion occurred in regards to the motion noting that
additional staff support (consultive support, etc.) will be required in
the future but that the HRA was not in a position to specify the exact
amount of such support at this time. Motion died for lack of second.

3 Chanhassen City Hall
A special meeting of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority was
held at City Hall on the 5th day of April, 1979, at 9:00 p.m. The
following members were present: Clifford Whitehill, John Przymus
and Mike Niemeyer. Guests present included Larry Zamor, John Lee
and Don Ashworth, City Manager. Absent was Bill Gullickson.
1. Approval of March 9, 1979, minutes:
Commissioner Whitehill moved to consider approval of minutes following
the discussion regarding the Happy Chef /Holiday Station (Item 2).
Motion seconded by Commissioner Niemeyer. Ayes - All.
Concept Discussion, HRA Participation - Open Space Purchase/
Sale Option, Highway 5 and 101 - Happy Chef /Holiday Station:
The City Manager reviewed city council action in denial of this item.
-Primary discussion from city council members was in reference to the
plan's concept in regards to open space for a soft entrance into the
city, the lack of space between the two proposed developments, the
lack of space between the Happy Chef proposal and the vacant lot to
the west, driveway entrances in close proximity to Great Plains Blvd.,
parking spaces within the green area, overall intensity of the develop-
ment, and the necessity for the city to allow for re- subdivision of
property to allow for the developments as proposed.
Larry Zamor and John Lee, representing the Happy Chef /Holiday Station
interests, presented the prior plans submitted to the city council
(which had been denied) in comparison to a proposal reflecting an
additional 40 feet of green area in the overall development. The plan
was being presented per the HRA previous discussion as to whether
the HRA could participate in the purchase of the green area adjacent
to Highway 5 and Great Plains Blvd. and thus assure such was a
green area. The city manager noted that he has discussed this
concept with Mr. Lee and Mr. Zamor and that it was imperative for
them to look at any means by which their proposal could be acceptable
to the city. Given city council comments, that the concept of the
city purchasing additional land adjacent to Great Plains Blvd., for
the green area, would allow the applicants to purchase additional
land to the west. Initial cost estimates reflected that the cost to
.the city, following the same participation formula as approved for
the Roos professional building, would equal approximately $15,000.
Costs to the applicant would be approximately $5, .
The City Manager noted that in discussions with Mr. Lee and Mr. Zamor
that additional benefits could be gained from city involvement, i.e.
that through IiRA participation in preserving the green area that i-hI?
HRA wouia set a It—Lan—a— —conditions in regards to architectural
style, signing on the property and lighting. Under the C -3 zoning,
w Lc exL ns suc as sLgnLng are specLfic
within the ordinance. However, as a inducement to development in
accordance with overall HRA plans, the HRA could establish additional
i
conditions on the property which would - insure the soft entrance
concept. _
After discussion Commissioner Whitehill moved that a public hearing
date of May 14, 1979, be established to consider a potential purchase
resale of this property in line with the above comments. Further,
that the city attorney's office be requested to draft the necessary
public hearing notice as well as placing the HRA motion in a legal
form. The proposal should include purchase of the westerly 40 to
60 feet of the Holiday /Happy Chef property, abutting Great Plains
Blvd. Motion seconded by Commissioner Niemeyer. Ayes - All.
1. Approval of Minutes (Tabled from earlier):
Commissioner Niemeyer moved to approve the December 19th minutes
r as amended. Commissioner Whitehill abstained. Motion carried.
i
Commission Niemeyer moved to approve the February .lst minutes as
presented. Commission Przymus seconded the motion. Ayes - All.
Commissioner Niemeyer moved to approve the February 15, 1979, minutes
as presented. Commission Przymus seconded the motion. Ayes - All.
l3. Review Candidate Applications- HRA:
After discussion the Commissioners determined that all planning
commission candidates should be contacted;.to see if they desire
to serve on the HRA. Additionally, previous candidates should be
contacted. Commission members will additionally attempt to discuss
(L the open seat with existing business people to determine if this
seat could be filled by a businessman in Chanhassen.
4. Downtown Redevelopment Project, Current Status Report and Future
ideeting Schedule:
r Commissioners reviewed the proposal subinitted by Bloomberg Companies
for .carrying out a major reconstruction project within the downtown
area and requesting that the HRA, as a part of such proposal, carry
out other necessary improvements as developed within the concept
7 plan. Commissioners generally discussed the proposal and expressed
their appreciation to the Bloomberg Companies for submitting a
proposal meeting the overall concepts of the downtown plan. General
concern arose in the area of the inability of the HRA to proceed
with necessary public actions based solely on this one proposal.
Commissioners generally agreed that if the HRA plan is to become
a reality that additional proposals will be required. The HRA requested
that the city manager prepare a draft of a potential solicitation
to bidders for carrying out the entire concept plan. This draft is
to be presented to the HRA at their next meeting. Additionally, the
r Manager should contact the Bloomberg Companies notifying them of
,I the potential action of the HRA and to express, again, the appreciation
of the HRA in the Bloomberg Companies proposal.

Don Ashworth, City Manager
Housing and Redevelopment Authority '
August 24, 1978
Chanhassen City Hall
Tom Klingelhutz was appointed Temporary Chairman.
A regular meeting of the Chanhassen Housing and Redevelopment Authority
was called to order by Temporary Chairman, Tom Klingelhutz at 8:00 p.m.
on August 24, 1978. The following members were present: Tom Klingelhutz,
John Pryzmus, and Mike Niemeyer. Absent was Bill Gullickson.
- The minutes of the August 10th meeting were not available.
The first item on the agenda was the continuation of the discussion
regarding development at the northwest corner of Highways 101 and 5.
Jerry Jensen representing Holiday Stations and Dick Rice, Architect
I for Happy Chef individually described their developments. Both
presented a desire to work with the city in arriving at an attractive
gateway to Chanhassen.
The following motion was made by Commissioner Niemeyer and seconded
by Commissioner Pryzmus and unanimously approved:
1. It is the intent of the HRA that Chanhassen have soft
or green entrances reflecting our agricultural environment and
base. This can be accomplished either with a large (200 feet)
sparsely landscaped area or a smaller (40 to 100 feet) intensly
developed landscaped area.
2. The HRA recommends to the city council that they approve
a waiver from the moratorium to these developers providing they
prepare a joint document describing in detail; size, shape, material
of all signs, buildings, paving areas, trash storage areas, property
lines, highway edges, proposed contouring and landscaping.
3. The HRA further recommends that the Planning Commission and
�^ city council reduce the required parking for these developments
down to 13 stalls off the pumps for Holiday and a 4 or more reduction
for Happy Chef - the intent of this is to provide more landscape
space at the edges without going below the parking the developers
claim they need.
4. In order to save time, the HRA recommends that the developers
present to the next group in the process, but that the HRA be represen
at that meeting to assume conformity with the intent.
5. If these conditions cannot be met, then the moratorium not
be waived until a satisfactory course of action can be found.
The second item on the agenda was to accept unanimously Clifford
Whitehill's application to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority
dependent upon city council action. The city should thank Jerry
Oltman for his application and strongly request he maintain it on file
for the next opening.
Craig Mertz's letter of August 23, 1978,.suggesting that the commission
hold a formal organizational meeting was discussed. This was
taken under advisement. _
Craig Mertz's letter of August 23, 1978, clarifying the issue of
conflict of interest was discussed. The recommended disclosure
forms were taken under advisement and the board members will process
these at the next meeting.
Meeting Adjourned at 10:30 p.m.

Housing and Redevelopment Authority
August 10, 1978
City Hall
A meeting of the Chanhassen Housing and Redevelopment Authority
was called to order on August 10, 1978 at 8:00 p.m. Present
commission members were Tom Klingelhutz, John Pryzmus and Mike
- Niemeyer. Also present Don Ashworth and representatives of Holiday
and Happy Chef, Jerry Altman and Clifford Whitehill.
Variance Request, Building of Moratorium, Holiday and Happy Chef
Proposal - Representatives of Holiday and Happy Chef were present
requesting that the Housing and Redevelopment Authority approve a
variance to the building moratorium allowing them to build on the
— northwest intersection of State Highway 5 and 101.
Commission members discussed at some length the concept of protecting
the major entrance to Chanhassen (Highway 5 and 101) from intensive
land development. The proposal as presented does represent an
intensive land use. The Commission could not define specifically the
amount of green area required to soften or visually protect this
intersection location. The City Manager noted, that it was the
responsibility of the applicant to demonstrate that their proposal
was consistent with the overall goals and objectives of the HRA. If
-- the HRA is in a position to explicitly define the area to be landscaped
or nature of such, they could set these as minimum standards at this
point in time. However, this is the purpose of the moratorium to allow
_.' the HRA to develop these types of standards and to determine whether the
City will have the ability, both financially and legally, to enforce
such standards.
Commissioner Niemeyer stated that as the proposal stands that he would
recommend that the applicant be denied a variance to the moratorium
ordinance. However, rather than placing such in motion form he would move
to table action on this item for a two -week period to allow the
developer to re- present a proposal to the HRA. Basically, it would be
the responsibility of the developer to "sell" the HRA on a plan which
generally met the concepts presented tonight. Seconded by John Pryzmus
-- ayes all.
Interviews -- Potential HRA Candidates - The Commission interviewed
both Jerry Altman and Clifford Whitehill for the vacant seat on the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority. In addition, the Commission reviewed
the previous application of John Force. After discussion, Commissioner
Niemeyer moved to table action on recommending appointment of a
Commission member to the next meeting. Seconded by Tom Klingelhutz, ayes
all.
— The Commissioners acted to set their next meeting for August 24.
Adjournment 12:00 p.m.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Chanhassen Housing and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Scott A. Martin, Executive Director
DATE April 17, 1984
SUBJ: Extension of Tenant Leases in Old Instant Web Building
As of March 31, 1984, all leases for space in the old Instant Web
Building expired. However, the following six (6) tenants con-
tinue to occupy this building on a month -to -month basis:
Tenant Floor Area
Monthly Rent
1. Animal Fair 2,000 sq. ft.
$750.00
2. Halverson Supplies, Inc. 4,000 sq. ft.
$666.66
3. Britt Corporation 400 sq. ft.
$150.00
4. Quality Temp, Inc. 200 sq. ft.
$100.00
5. Austad Construction Co. 500 sq. ft.
$ 72.92
6. Coffee Talk, Inc.* 3,000 sq. ft.

*New tenant effective April 1, 1984
A floor plan showing the location of each tenant
in the building
is attached for your reference.
Previous leases had been approved with terms of
six months to one
year. However, given the necessity to retain our
ability to sell
or demolish this building on short notice for redevelopment
pur-
poses, I recommend that each of the above tenants
be offered
leases with a 30 day notice provision subject to
all of the same
terms and conditions contained in our standard form lease.
I have discussed this approach with each tenant,
and have
received positive responses from each one.
A motion by the Board to approve these leases in
block is
recommended.

People Are Buying
Larger New Homes,
According to Study
Recovery, Interest Rate Drop
Cited for Reversing Trend
Toward Smaller Units
By Roam Gurrimiot
Staff Reporter OJ'r11r. WM,L STkkk.T JOUµNA1-
Americans are buying larger new home:
_ .once again, despite widespread prediction;
that new homes would continue to shrink it
size because of high costs.
An analysis of new -home sales data b}
the Joint Center for Urban Studies of Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology and Har
vard University has found that the economic
recovery, coupled with a drop in interest
rates, is encouraging buyers to purchase the
largest homes they can afford.
From the 1982 fourth quarter through the
�i 1983 third quarter, the median finished area
in new single - family detached homes rose to
1,559 square feet from 1,445 square feet, ac.
cording to the MIT- Harvard study. Similar
increases in size occurred in townhouses and
low -rise condominium units for the period.
Home size peaked in 1978, when the median
new single- family home contained 1,655
square feet.
This move toward slightly larger homes
should continue, especially in the South and
West, where much of the future demand for
new housing will occur, according to Wil-
liam Apgar Jr., director of the MIT - Harvard
study.
In addition to economic factors, demo-
graphics and consumer attitudes also are
playing a role in the growth of home size.
The "Baby Boom" generation, born between
1946 and 1964, is becoming more affluent and
also needs space for its offspring.
Moreover, a survey conducted last Octo-
ber by the Joint Center showed consumers'
greatest dissatisfaction in their living quar-
ters was with the amount of space. One in
five consumers was described as somewhat
or very dissatisfied with the amount of liv-
ing space in a unit.
,---. A number of builders also report that
home size is growing again. Robert Strudler,
senior vice president of U.S. Home Corp.,
said buyers' interest in larger homes is typi-
cal of an economic recovery.
Though home size does shrink and grow
with economic cycles, it shrank less in size
during the last recession than it did during
the prior two recessions, according to Mr.
Apgar. And despite the severity of the last
recession, the percentage of large new
homes (those with 2,400 or more square
feet) remained a constant 15 %.
One device that has enabled people to af-
ford larger homes has been builders' prac-
tice of lowering a buyer's monthly payment
by paying the lender a sum to reduce the in-
itial interest rate. Mr. Strudler said, "You'
r can have a greater effect on buyers'
monthly payments by 'buying down' the in-
terest rate than by lowering the price of the
t There 1i some disagreement on whether
L home size will continue to grow, Michael Su-
'-�tnfrhraef rrior emn.vniet for tho Natinw,atf
Association' of Home Builders, said, "For
this housing cycle, I think 1,500 square feet
is about where we're going to stay."
But Michael Carliner, director of housing
forecasts for Chase Econometrics, said, "I
think it will continue for another year at
least." Median finished area in new homes
should grow 30 to 50 square feet for 1984, he
said. As a long -term trend, Mr. Carliner
said, growth in home size should abate be-
cause housing has lost much of its allure as
a speculative investment.
