CC Minutes 08-25-2014Chanhassen City Council – August 25, 2014
CONSENT AGENDA: 7. DAKOTA RETAIL, 7910 DAKOTA AVENUE: RESOLUTION
APPROVING FINAL PLAT TO REPLAT 1.7 ACRES INTO ONE LOT AND ONE OUTLOT;
APPLICANTS: CITY OF CHANHASSEN AND CENTER COMPANIES, LLC.
Mayor Furlong: We took that off the consent agenda earlier this evening. Let’s start with a staff report
please on material changes.
Kate Aanenson: Thank you Mayor. I think I’ll just speak from here and then you can follow along. So
what’s in your packet for tonight is the approval of this, the final plat. Back in April you approved the
preliminary plat so the plat that’s shown in here does not show the easements that are required with the
plat so that’s one of the changes so the revised plan would then look like, like this. We’re showing now
the easements are on the property and the easement for the stormwater pond so that should be the
corrected one. And then the other change would be the dates on this plat because we put in the conditions
of approval the dates of the mapping so this date would be for the date, plans dated and received for the
th
plat would be, for the findings would be August 25. Today’s date and then also a security amount of
$6,000 was also modified so those are the two substantive changes. Otherwise the staff report remains as
is.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any questions for staff on any of these changes? Appreciate that Ms.
Aanenson just for clarification on the changes. No? Mr. Gerhardt.
Todd Gerhardt: One item is closing should occur on this property, the City had some excess right-of-way
that they sold as a part of the Dakota Retail development and closing was scheduled for this week. There
is some additional legal work that needs to be done so closing should occur probably first week in
September.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Just a point of clarification for the record Ms. Aanenson. The developer is
in agreement with the changes that you mentioned this evening?
Kate Aanenson: That’s correct.
Mayor Furlong: To your knowledge.
Kate Aanenson: Submitted by the developer actually so yes.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Alright. Thank you. Okay. That was the reason it came off consent. I don’t
know if anybody else has any questions, discussion on this. If not, we can proceed with a motion. This
would be for item E(7).
Councilman Laufenburger: Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Furlong: Mr. Laufenburger.
Councilman Laufenburger: Yeah. I move that the Chanhassen City Council grants approval of the final
plat for Dakota Retail as shown in plans dated August 25, 2014 and subject to the conditions of approval
of the staff report.
Councilwoman Ernst: Second.
Kate Aanenson: And we can add the revised resolution.

for Dakota Retail would be $18,875.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
Mayor Furlong: That completes our items of business this evening. Let’s go to council presentations.
COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS.
None.
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS.
Todd Gerhardt: Just a couple of things. This week we do have the Southwest Chamber Membership
Appreciation Luncheon at Lake Ann and so any council members that haven’t already signed up that
would like to attend, let me know. And then on Thursday, Paul and I will be attending a meeting in the
City of Nicollet with St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman to talk about a grass roots initiative on trying to find
ways to fund our local roads and meet the needs of cities throughout the state of Minnesota so. And then
Paul do you want to give an update on Lyman, 101 and how progress is coming on the lower Wye?
Paul Oehme: Sure. Thank you Todd, Mayor, City Council members. So I’d like to maybe start out with
the Lyman project. That as you know is reconstruction of Lyman from approximately that goes north to
Powers Boulevard. That one they should have the section between Lyman to the west and Audubon to
the north, that should be open, if it’s not already opened already this week so that’s ready to go before
school starts. The main section of Lyman though however, Xcel Energy is still relocating some
transmission lines to the north side of the road, which has slowed the progress down a little bit at this
