Narrative Attachment
Up until recently, four properties including the property described in this proposal was served by
a public road emanating from Pioneer Trail located on approximately the same alignment as new
Powers Boulevard. One of the properties included a farm and home site occupied by the Wallace
Krause family. The street ran one half mile north from Pioneer Trail and terminated in a cul-de-
sac. The farm site was approximately 100 yards north of the cul-de-sac and had as its primary
access from there. The road was maintained by the city of Chanhassen.
The farm site and home were abandoned in the late 1970's at which time the city ceased
maintaining the road. While no gravel was added, since then the culverts and drainage of the
road had been in good condition (to where the Laurent and Erhart access was located) up until the
construction of new Powers Boulevard. The road continued to be used by Gil Laurent and Bruce
Jueressen for farming. Frank Fox, who purchased the Krause farm site, used it as it was the only
access to their property. The Erhart's used it as their only commercial suitable access to the
western part of his property where they operate one of two tree growing ranges on their property.
The Erhart's have no practical alternative access to this growing range other than that from the
old road or now what is Powers Boulevard.
The construction of Powers Boulevard overlaid and destroyed the existing road and therefore
whatever access the road provided to the four land owners. All four owners used the road and
considered the right of way a public asset allowing them use oftheir property.
MnDot did ultimately provide a curb cut to the Erhart property when constructing new Powers
Boulevard. However, the access is unusable in its present form in that it immediately leads down
to a steep bank and into a pond.
This proposal would allow the construction of a driveway from the access provided off of Powers
Boulevard to the western part of the Erhart Property. This approximate 10 acres ofland is
separated from the eastern part of the property by a heavily wooded ridge line and large wetland.
The acres will allow the continued use of the existing tree growing range. Eventually this access
will be used to serve some type of commercial or industrial facility lying directly to the north of
the proposed driveway. It will also serve as an access to a future site for a lift station planned for
the area immediately to the south of the proposed driveway. The entire area is scheduled for
inclusion in 2010 MUSA.
