Zoning of Hillside Oak Block 1
Safety
Lot 1 and 2 of Hillside Oak have a joint driveway with no turn around for Fire Truck.
( They would have to back out and up on Powers Blvd under the current condition)
Any other trucks would have the same issue.
My proposal include a Cull De Sac( Paid by me) which resolve this critical safety issue
for both my self and my neighbor to the north

Arild,
Lot 6 is over 150' away from the sewer stub on Powers Blvd. therefore they were not required
to hook up to City service. You or your neighbors may hook up to sewer service at any time.
Sewer service does not require a rezoning.

I refer again to the enclosed letter from Paul Oehme PE.
He claims that City Sewer is not available at Oakside Circle
This is in strong contrast to Greg Brown from URS ( URS did the Powers Blvd
Improvement)
Qoute :
"Arild and Mike,
I believe we had stubbed an 8" PVC @0.4% grade at Oakside Circle and near
your property driveway.
Greg"
Is his comment.
Full email sent forwarded separately
Paul further mention that one property on Hillside Oak had their septic system
replaced.
This was lot 6 facing Lyman Blvd but with deeded access to Oakside Circle between
Lot 5 and 7.
If lot 6 had been required to be hooked up to City Sewer ( as my lot would have been)
because of a failing
septic system, it would have triggered a hook up for lot 5 as well .
Lot 5 is owned by Council Member Craig Peterson. His tactics to avoid hook up to
City sewer is well documented.
I feel I and my lot is clearly discriminated against; The City invest $114 million in
utility improvements for Hillside Oak Block
1 and now tell me that if my Septic System fails I have to hook up to City Sever. My
property has the the same
sewer connection as Oakside Circle. This again would cause me financial hardship. I
have during the years
invested over $40.000.00 in applications fess, engineering cost and legal cost to access
City Sewer the way it
was designed for.
I find it hard to believe that the City made these improvements waiting for my septic or
my neighbor to the north
to fail..........
I will ask the City Council not to discriminate against me and Support my proposal for

Page 3 of 5
rezoning so I can
feasible access these utilities as it was designed for. ( They have stood unused for ten
years at now a cost
to the City for over $700,000.00 and further denials could make these improvements
obsolete)
and the City can start recoup It's invest ment
I will also ask City Council Member Craig Peterson to recuse him self.

We would require Mr. Rossavik to hook up if his septic system fails. Also the property
north of Rossavik would be required to hook up if their septic system fails. Both
properties meet the city ordinance requirement. The other properties that access off
of Oak Side Ct. would not be required to hook up if their septic systems fail. Sewer is
not available on Oak Side Ct. at this time. Last year an owner on Oak Side Ct. put in
a new septic system because no sewer was available.

Zoning of Hillside Oak Block 1
I qoute from City Comprehensive plan:
( Land use)
Land use 2/ 91( Update 1998)
LAND USE
'The availability of an adequate sanitary sewer system is a primary consideration in the utilization of
land for urban purposes. The adequacy of sanitary sewer in a given area is,
For example, directly related to the intensity of land development possible for the area."
'Since on-site systems tend to fail at different times at different lots in a subdivision, residents should be
aware that utilities may need to be provided before a consensus is achieved from all impacted property
owners (2/91)
'Large -lot residential is presently found generally south of Lyman Boulevard.
Other areas of large-lot exist north of TH 5 along Lake Lucy Road and South of TH 5,
East of Galpin Boulevard.
'Utilizing the concept of comprehensive utility planning and encouraging development to locate in areas
with available infrastructure will insure that private development will follow public investment......
Hillside Oak was a part of Lake Susan Hill develpoment, but could not be served by gravity sewer.
So when the liftstataton was installed to serve Hillside Oak Block 1 exclusive ,we became truly a part of
Lake Susan Hills.

Zoning of Hillside Oak Block 1
The City clearly manipulated the Zoning for Hillside Oak Block1 after sewer was installed and after
I in June 1996 I presented the City with my first proposal which would had put 6 lots on my property.
They retro activated the change to Jan 1991 . There is no supporting documents to clearly
support such a major change to a comprehensive plan.
Keep in mind the area around Hillside Oak Block 1 , including Hillside Oak Block 2 are RLD

Bob,

We would require Mr. Rossavik to hook up if his septic system fails. Also the property north of
Rossavik would be required to hook up if their septic system fails. Both properties meet the city
ordinance requirement. The other properties that access off of Oak Side Ct. would not be
required to hook up if their septic systems fail. Sewer is not available on Oak Side Ct. at this
time. Last year an owner on Oak Side Ct. put in a new septic system because no sewer was
available.
Let me know if what any additional information.

I understand that the Planning commission has recommend that Hillside Oak Block one
remain Large Lot
When one of the 7 owners of lot 1 through 7 septic systems fails, will the affectd
property owner be allowed to build a new septic system to replace the failing
one? (one lot had a issue with ~ leaking drain field 8 years ago)
Or will the City enforce code 19-41 B or use any other means to have the property

City Code 19-41B
The code names three reasons which each one by itself triggers mandatory sewer Connection
1 All buildings.. on premises adjacent to City Sewer system
OR
2 In a block through or to which the sanitary systems extends
OR
3. Is within 150 feet of said sewer system
The City treats the Code as an AND function: That all reasons have to be in place to mandate sewer
connection The Code is clearly an OR function: Each one of the reasons by itself mandates sewer
connection
The City invested $114 million in 1993 exclusive in sewer for Hillside Oak Block 1 including a lift
station.
It cannot be extended or used for any thing else.
I has stood unused for ten years now a cost over $3/4 Mill of tax payers money

Arild,
Lot 6 is over 150' away from the sewer stub on Powers Blvd. therefore they were not required to hook
up to City service. You or your neighbors may hook up to sewer service at any time. Sewer service
does not require a rezoning.

Also feasible sewer Hook up service requires rezoning.

Dear Planning Commission Members
Ref Rezoning Request, Rossavik Addition
In 1990 Land use for Hillside Oak Block 1 and 2 was RLD ( Residential Low Density Response: See history in
staff report.
10 years ago City sewer and water including a lift station was extended to exclusive serve Hillside Oaks Block
One Response: Done as part of the Powers Blvd upgrade so the road would not have to be torn up later to add
sewer if it were needed.
But Since Land use is claimed to be changed, in Feb 1991 to A2 Large Lot 2.5 Acre, for Hillside Oak block 1 only,
in contrast to City Project1993- 29, assessment roll B, implementing City Code 19-41 B ,( Mandatory Sewer
Connection) which Designates Block 1 to be RLD, my three previous request to feasible hook up to these
improvements and abandon my septic system has been denied. Response: see history in staff report.
Last Fall the City changed the area South of Hillside Oaks from Large Lot to Medium Density (Town houses) and
the largest housing development in Chanhassen history is now undergoing there in addition to the extension of
Powers Blvd down to new 212. Response: Town and Country Homes had a 444 unit townhouse project
approved in the 2005 MUSA. The property is guided for residential - medium density and office/industrial uses.
The proposed development is consistent with the land use. It also provided a transition from the single-family
homes in Chaska.
Further more The City this year Rezoned the area west of Hillside Oak from (A2) large Lot to RLD Response:
Stonefield addition isguided for residential - low density uses. The development is consistent with the land use.
The staff report recommends denial of my rezoning request to RLD , but would support if the owner of lot 1 also
would rezone. Response: changing one lot would be changing the character of the neighborhood. If two or
more contiguous lots were to change, we would not be creating an enclave of surburban density housing in estate
type lots.
This would leave Lot 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 with a large lot designation, and no feasible access to City Sewer and
water. Response: Sewer and water in Powers Blvd.
City Council Member Craig Peterson is the owner of Lot 5 and this serves his interest, he is known to be A Real

Lyman Blvd is being extended into 4 lanes to accommodate the increased traffic. The intersection Lyman
and Powers Blvd will soon be the most trafficked intersection in town, and leaving the southwest corner of this
intersection
with a Large Lot designation an abnormality Response: Or as an appropriate buffer.
I ask you therefore to support my Request to rezone to RLD This also would open for my other neighbors to
rezone and hook up to City Sewer and water in their own time
