buildings were. They may not be there today but at least that placard will show that maybe they
were next to Axel's or the Dinner Theater or whatever, so we can keep that history and, for our
kids and family members to see.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any thoughts or discussion on this matter? If not, is there a
motion?
Councilwoman Tjomhom: I make a motion that the Chanhassen City Council approves
renaming of the Chanhassen Community Gardens to the Olson Community Gardens.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Is there a second?
Councilman Labatt: Second.
Mayor Furlong: Made and seconded. Any discussion on that motion?
Councilman Peterson: Just for the only comment that I'll make, because I'm going to vote nay
on this. Not as any relationship to a negative towards Al Olson. I'm going to vote nay because I
think, I think we should review the policy and really determine how we're going to move ahead
long term before we vote on this, so I'm going to vote nay because of that.
Mayor Furlong: Any other discussion? Hearing none we'll proceed with the vote.
Councilwoman Tjornhom moved, Councilman Labatt seconded that the City Council
approves renaming of the Chanhassen Community Gardens to the Olson Community
Gardens. All voted in favor, except Councilman Peterson who opposed, and the motion
carried with a vote of 4 to 1.
Todd Gerhardt: To follow up on that Mayor, City Council members, we'll take a look at that
policy and put it on a future work session.
Mayor Furlong: Absolutely, thank you.
PUBLIC HEARING ON VACATION OF EASEMENTS AND RIGHT-OF-WAY IN
CRESTVIEW. PROJECT 05-11.
Paul Oehme: Thank you Mayor, City Council members. Staff has received a request from Lecy
Brothers, the property owner of Crestview Addition to vacate the existing public drainage and
utility easement within the lot area of the previous plat and a portion of the existing right-of-way
on Crestview Lane that lies within the approved plat of Crestview Addition. The drawing here is
kind of showing the area in question. Crestview Lane is just north of Lake Lucy Road and just
west of Galpin Boulevard and the area here is highlighted easement and proposed to be vacated
and the area hatched is the area of right-of-way proposed to be vacated as well. The existing
public drainage and utility easements were dedicated to the city as part of the Shivley Addition in
1990. On May 9,2005 the City Council approved the final plat for Crestview Addition creating
5 lots and associated right-of-way for public streets. A condition of approval was to vacate the

existing right-of-way and drainage and utility easements. Staff has no issues with the proposed
vacations and I stand for questions and I would request that the public hearing be open at this
time.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any questions for staff? This deals just with the schedule you put
up there. Nothing additional along existing Crestview?
Paul Oehme: Correct. It just entails the plat that was approved and again it's just the area that's
highlighted here for vacation of easements within the development area plus the right-of-way as
attached, as shown in this drawing.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any other questions for staff?
Councilman Lundquist: We have the new easements dedicated as part of that final plat on that
one already, correct?
Paul Oehme: That's correct.
Mayor Furlong: The replacement easements? Yeah, okay. Thank you. Additional questions?
No? Okay. If not then I would open up the public hearing and invite all interested parties to
come forward and speak on this matter. If there is no one, then we'll close the public hearing
without objection and bring it back to council for discussion. Is there any discussion on this?
Seeing none, is there a motion to approve?
Councilman Lundquist: Motion to approve.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Is there a second?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Second.
Mayor Furlong: Made and seconded. Any discussion on the motion? Hearing none we'll
proceed with the vote.
Resolution#200S-61: Councilman Lundquist moved, Councilwoman Tjornhom seconded
that the City Council approves the attached resolution vacating a portion of the existing
public right-of-way and drainage and utility easement as defined on the attached vacation
description. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to O.
