SUBJECT: Preserve at Rice Lake, MnDOT Cooperative Construction Review
North side of US 212, East of MN 101
Chanhassen, Carver County
Control Section 1013
Dear Ms. AI-Jaff:
MnDOT has reviewed the detailed plans for the proposed noise wall for Preserve at Rice Lake
(#S 14-004). In addition to our comments from the February 6, 2014 review letter, MnDOT has the
following comments:
Structures.
1) Some content was distributed among the appendices, (C and D were not provided), making the
review somewhat challenging. Post numbers were referenced which were not present or
distinguishable on the provided boring plan. While the borings were designated "SB -I" and similar
on the logs, the Appendix A nomenclature was shown as T through '7: Further inconsistency is
present in the Foundation Analysis section when the borings are given a designation "B-5" (or
similar). Consistent nomenclature should be used among references; at present we are forced to
assume the included references are appropriate and correct.
2) The project definition describes that cut and fill sections may exist with changes of up to 4 feet (a
potentially significant amount with respect to the anticipated embedment of the noise wall posts). It
is unclear how this was addressed in the analysis, which appears to be based on native soils and
current ground elevation conditions.
3) It is unclear if the "methods described below" in the FROST HEAVE AND ADFREEZING
PROTECTION section are present or absent, as the CONCLUSIONS section immediately follows,
and some information there addresses other engineering considerations.
4) The paragraph below Table -B describes the noise wall post embedment in Appendix C. In the
Table of Contents, Appendix C is Laboratory Results, which is not a logical place to locate the noise
wall post embedment depths. This Appendix was not provided. It is suggested that a primary item of
interest (required minimum post embedment) be contained in the report or in its own appendix such
that it is clear and easy to find by the wall designers who require this information.
5) An improved presentation of the geotechnical site character with respect to the variable
embedment depths would be helpful. Table -B appears to show a uniform site. The analysis describes
that two different [generalized] soil types/profiles were studied- those shown in Table -B based on
borings B-1 to B-5 and B-7, and other properties seen at B-6. The properties for B-6 appear to be
described as representative of the rest of the small berm, although B-7 appears part of that berm.
What were the B-6 properties? Are these the friction values in the table -B? Are other borings (not T-
6) shown by the cohesive values (based on the pocket penetrometer readings) in the table? The table
is difficult to interpret- please identify which parameters were used for which designs.
*Generally both friction and cohesion values are not used together (unless high-end
drained/undrained triaxial tests and similar are conducted for combined c/phi parameters). Improved
descriptions of the methodology for application of values in the table as well as the use of better
labeling, or perhaps two tables would add more clarity for the review process. MnDOT is concerned
that if both [undrained] cohesive and frictional values were included in the same analysis, the results
may be non -conservative.
6) Comments on the water levels were notes. Likewise, comments on soil moisture (dry, damp,
moist, etc...) [or similar lab tests with % moisture] should also be part of the logging process.
7) As the noise wall post numbering plan was not available, some of the measures in the conclusions
section were difficult to evaluate (based on noise wall post numbering). The measures themselves
seem reasonable.
8) In the conclusions, the report recommends the removal of topsoil layers if encountered. A deep
topsoil lens was noted, which a post hole could intercept when installed. Does the report recommend
excavation and removal of that layer (or only surface topsoil deposits)?
9) MnDOT concurs that the designers should have the opportunity to review the final designs and
specifications for the project work to ensure they are consistent with the geotechnical design intent.
(As an example, the minimum embedment elevation of 901.1 feet for a portion of the wall may
require longer noise wall posts than other sections of the wall in order to maintain a uniform wall
height. The plans should be checked to reflect this aspect in plan notes, pay quantities, provisions,
and similar). Note also that an elevation of 90 1.0, as a requirement, may be a useful improvement for
detailing and field surveying simplicity.
10) Overall, the report appears to be an appropriate level of effort for the evaluation of the site for the
construction of the intended noise barrier.
For questions concerning these comments, please contact Derrick Dasenbrock in MnDOT's
Structures Section.
Bridges:
1) The yellow highlighted areas of the attached specifications need to be completed and
information filled in.
2) Since the noise wall is to be constructed in MnDOT right of way, the paint color of the wall
needs to be coordinated with MnDOT (Bridge Office or Landscape Architecture Unit). The
Bridge Office Contact is Melissa Schultz (651-366-4465).
Review Submittal Options:
MnDOT's goal is to complete the review of plans within 30 days. Submittals sent electronically can
usually be turned around faster. Submit one of the following:
1. One pdf version of the plans. MnDOT accepts plans at metrodevreviews.dotQstate.mn.us,
provided that each e-mail is less than 20 megabytes.
2. Three sets of full size plans. Submitting seven sets of full size plans will expedite the review
process. Send plans to:
MnDOT — Metro District Planning Section
Development Reviews Coordinator
1500 West County Road B-2
Roseville, MN 55113
3. One compact disk.
4. Plans can also be submitted to MnDOT's external FTP site. Send files to:
ftp://ftp2.dot.state.mn.us/nub/incominglMetroWatersEdge/Planning. Internet Explorer may not
work using ftp, using an FTP Client or your Windows Explorer (My Computer). Send a note to
metrodeweviews.dotAstate.mn.us indicating that the plans have been submitted on the FTP site.

requirements of ASTM D4444-92 (Reapproved 2003) [Standard Test Methods for Use and Calibration of
July 25, 2011
Hand -Held Moisture Meters], in particular Field Calibration (sections 5.2, 6.2, and 6.3) and Sampling Point
(location) (section 6.6.1).
(B) The specified sampling rate may be increased prior to installation at the discretion of the
Engineer (i.e., to test samples after a precipitation event).
(C) At the time of installation, the Contractor shall test and ensure the moisture content in the
planking wood shall not exceed thirteen (13) percent maximum moisture content per volume tested. The
moisture content for the battens shall not exceed fifteen (15) percent maximum moisture content per
volume tested. Wood planking and battens which do not meet these requirements will be rejected.
However, the rejected portion will be allowed to sun dry or be mechanically dried to meet moisture content
requirements and then be placed with the approval of the Engineer in the noise wall installation. BORATE
Treated Wood materials which fail to meet moisture content requirements shall be rejected by the Engineer
and removed from the Project at no cost to Mn/DOT.
S-1.10 INSTALLER AND MATERIALS STANDARDS
(A) Submittals and testing qualifications of the installer of the BORATE Treated Wood shall
comply with S-_.4 (REQUIREMENTS), and S-_.9 (MOISTURE CONTENT) of these Special Provisions.
These instructions must be provided to the Engineer, and approved by the Engineer prior to the Contractor
ordering materials.
(B) The Contractor shall dispose of BORATE treated wood scraps and cutoffs in a non-
hazardous municipal solid waste landfill in accordance with Mn/DOT 2104 and local regulations.
BORATE treated wood scraps shall not be burned.
5-1.11 CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
(A) Construction of wood noise barrier walls together with appurtenant concrete posts shall
be accomplished in accordance with the Plan details, the applicable Mn/DOT Standard Specifications, these
Special Provisions, or as otherwise approved by the Engineer.
BORATE Treated Wood materials that must meet definite Specification requirements
shall not be incorporated in the work until all preliminary inspections and tests necessary for moisture
retention and preservative levels have been completed and the material is found to comply with
requirements.
Structural Concrete shall be of Mix IA43 placed as directed by the Plans,
Specifications, these Special Provisions, and the Engineer.
(B) Concrete posts and vertical wood components, such as battens, shall be plumb after
installation. Horizontal wood components, such as planks and cap boards, shall be level after installation.
(C) Excavated material for noise wall construction shall not be used for backfilling the post
holes and shall be disposed of in accordance with Mn/DOT specifications.
(D) Nailing and fastening shall be accomplished in a manner that will avoid splitting boards.
When fill is retained by the wall, 6 -mil polyethylene sheeting shall be placed between planks and earth.
However, the placement of the sheeting shall be done in a manner which does NOT allow the infiltration or
retention of water next to the planking (i.e., the sheeting shall not be so tightly installed around the planking
that a watertight area is formed next to the planking which could retain water).
(E) Joints shall be constructed in a manner that will completely arrest the passage of light.
No daylight shall be visible through the joints 120 days after completion of the wall; this shall be construed
to be part of the Warranty as detailed in Section S- .7 of these Special Provisions. The Contractor is
advised to take whatever measures necessary to avoid excessive shrinkage or shifting which would cause
July 25, 2011
the passage of light. Where passage of light does occur, the Contractor shall take corrective action, by
applying caulking to the satisfaction of the Engineer, at his/her own expense.
(F) Planking shall be installed "groove side down" in all installations. When battens are to
be joined in the construction of the wall, they shall have a 45 degree down miter joint instead of the inplace
90 degree joint (to minimize water retention issues).

MEMORANDUM
TO: Sharmin Al-Jaff, Senior Planner X
FROM: Todd Hoffinan, Park & Recreation Director
DATE: July 1, 2013
SUBJ: Request for Land Use Map Amendment from Residential -Low Density to
Residential -Low and Medium Density; Rezoning from Single Family
Residential (RSF) and Mixed Low Density Residential (R4) to Planned
Unit Development -Residential (PUD -R); Subdivision of 13.22 acres into
16 lots and 2 outlots with Variances; Site Plan Review; and Wetland
Alteration Permit. Applicant: J & S Ventures 1, Inc.
COMPREHENSIVE PARK PLAN
The city's comprehensive park plan calls for a neighborhood park to be located
within one-half mile of every residence in the city. The proposed Preserve at Rice
Lake development would not meet this guideline. The nearest park is Rice Marsh
Lake Park which is located approximately one mile away if utilizing the city's
pedestrian trail network.
COMPREHENSIVE TRAIL PLAN
The city's comprehensive trail plan calls for the future completion of Rice Marsh
Lake trail to be constructed around the perimeter of the lake. This proposed
subdivision should provide for and construct a trail connection to this future trail
starting at the public street and extending to the southeast corner of the property. This
trail connection should be situated in a public outlot or trail easement.
RECOMMENDED PARK AND TRAIL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
It is recommended that the following condition of approval concerning parks and
trails be applied to the proposed Preserve at Rice Lake:
Fifty -percent (50%) of park fees shall be collected in consideration for the
dedication of Outlots A and B. The park fees shall be collected in full at the rate in
force upon final plat submission and approval. At today's rate these fees would total
$46,400 (16 lots x $5,800 per lot/2).

Chanhassen Planning Commission — January 15, 2013
PUBLIC HEARING:
PRESERVE AT RICE LAKE: REOUEST FOR A CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT
DEVELOPMENT (PUD) FOR A 15 LOT SINGLE FAMH.Y DEVELOPMENT ON 13.2 ACRES
OF PROPERTY CURRENTLY ZONED RSF-SINGLE FAMH.Y RESIDENTIAL AND R4-
KNOBLAUCH. OWNER: CHESTNUT GROUP, LLC, PLANNING CASE 2013-02.
Al -Jaffa Good evening Chairman Aller, members of the Planning Commission. Before you is a request
for a concept planned unit development. The site has an area of 13.2 acres. It is located southwest of the
intersection of Se Street. West 86" Street and Tigua Lane. Just briefly, this site was part of the parcel
located south of Highway 212 and with the construction of Highway 212 it was segmented into two
pieces. The 13 acres to the north and the remainder, I believe there were 60 acres to the south which were
developed by another developer as single family detached homes. So the remaining piece, the 13 acres
that is before you today, it is currently zoned, it's currently guided Residential Low Density which allows
for 1.2 to 4 units per acre. The westerly half of the site is currently zoned Single Family Residential
which permits attached as well as detached single family homes. The easterly portion is Mixed Low
Density which allows for townhomes. Some of the characteristics of this site include a complex of
different bodies of wetlands all along the northerly portion, the westerly portion, as well as a few along
the east side of the site. Highway 212, a four lane highway is located south of the subject site. The site
falls within the Shoreland Overlay District of Rice Marsh Lake. That entire area that is within 1,000 feet
of the ordinary high water mark of a lake is considered shoreland and it falls under specific regulations
that any development would have to adhere to. The buildable area on the site. What we attempted to do
was just look at the location of the wetlands and just highlight the buildable area on the site solely based
on the setback from the edge of the wetlands and what you see shaded in pink, that becomes the buildable
area of the site. What the applicant is proposing to do is build single family homes. If we look at, and
this plan was submitted by the applicant. The typical home that they intend to build will be 60 feet in
depth and will require 52 feet in width. When we have these homes on the proposed lots, some of the
house pads will encroach into required setbacks. Some of the homes don't meet width requirements for
the shoreland ordinance. So there are sections that will need to be addressed. They just don't meet the
regulations that are required in the wetland as well as the Shoreland Overlay District. To be able to
accommodate the type of product that the applicant is requesting, one of the things that the City could
entertain is re -guiding this site to medium density. It would be dual guiding it to low density as well as
medium density. When we guide it to medium density one of the things that the planned unit
development ordinance will allow us to do is really work with the site. There is no minimum lot area.
There is no minimum lot width. That will allow us to look at the features of the site and position homes
so that they are respectful and conscientious of how can we develop without impacting the natural
features of the site. We are recommending that the Planning Commission provide us with feedback. We
have raised some issues within the staff report that are still of concern. The current plan that the applicant
is, has submitted does not meet the intent of a planned unit development. We believe that it is doable. It
just requires some additional work by the applicant.
Aanenson: I'd like to just add a couple more comments. Can you go back to the slide? In looking at this
project and the shoreland district, we've gotten feedback from the DNR that it does not meet the intent of
the shoreland district so, because we believe that the single family housing product and meeting the goals
of the number of units that the applicant wanted, somewhere around 16, staying at that 4 units an acre,
which is low density by the City ordinance, we believe that it can fit on this site and meet the ordinance
requirements, not only for the City's ordinance but for the shoreland regs and not filling any wetlands and
avoidance and meeting all that. We do believe the PUD is the right tool for the fact that in order to get
access to this site coming off of West 86'" Street, to go through, to get that access you are going to impact
roads, no matter what product you were to put on that site. The only way to service that via sewer would
SCANNED
Chanhassen Planning Commission — January 15, 2013
have to come off that way so to narrow that road to less impact as we just talked about in the last
application, we believe that the PUD is the right tool. The problem with the low density is it doesn't fit
within the shoreland regs. That flexibility that we have in place so the reason we were recommending the
dual guiding is that if this application wasn't to go forward and the council wanted to revisit some other
application, that would give them the leeway. Again because this is concept we're just looking for
direction and what we're telling you is that we don't believe that under the low density that this
application could go forward under that. There's, it just doesn't fit under the current regs but we believe
getting to the 4 units an acre, keeping the 509/6 open space under the medium density would make some
sense so with that, with some of the conditions that we put in the staff report, we would recommend kind
of moving in that direction so with that, that's kind of our position and we're looking for some direction
from you and then also from the City Council on that so, I think Sharmcen did a good job kind of
explaining the issues that we have so, be happy to answer any questions you have on that.
Aller: Even if we were to do or look at moving toward the ... PUD with the medium density, we would
still have to meet the shoreland requirements, right?
Aanenson: Absolutely.
Aller: ... overlay that has to be met.
Aanenson: Absolutely. The difference is with, the way our shoreland ordinance is written, it's very
prescriptive as far as lot size under that low density. The medium density allows greater flexibility. It's
similar to what we did up on, up on the 2005 MUSA area. We have some of those lot sizes are different
so it would still accommodate the single family home. We'd keep the buffers and the setbacks in the
preservation area but allows for a smaller lot. It would meet the goals of trying to provide a single family
lot so it doesn't have to be a 15,000 lot. It might be a 11,000 or a 12,000 square foot lot. Similarto what
Ryland just did. Excuse me, what Lennar just did across the street and so.
Aller: Even at the medium density which allows for flexibility, it allows us to move the lot sizes and the
structure on the lot. But I don't see, based on the map that's in front of us where we would be getting 15
units.
Aanenson: What you're looking at now is you're looking at it as it's laid out meeting the larger lot. If
you were to go similar to what Lennar has across the street, which is the similar property, with also some
of those lots fell within the shoreland. That was the RLM which allowed you to go as small as.
AI -Jaffa 9,000 square feet.
Aanenson: Yeah.
AI-Jaff. And 63 or 64.
Aanenson: Yeah, 65. I don't think they were that small in that subdivision.
Al -Jaffa Correct.
Aanenson: But they were selling very well there so we believe that, based on the house plans that were
submitted, and reconfiguring that. Again that's up to the applicant to do that but we believe it can be met
based on that and without impacting, meeting the ordinance requirements.
Aller: And we're here for concept purposes.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — January 15, 2013
Aanenson: Correct.
Aller: We're not hereto make a decision or say that this plan is set in stone or even moving forward
because it's really up to the developer to take the comments...
Aanenson: That's correct but I guess what we're saying is under the, under the low density or the
application that came in, we don't believe that could advance solely on, the other path that could be taken
which we're asking your feedback on is to go towards the re -guiding of the property. Then again it would
have to come back through for a public hearing but just to get your read on that.
Aller: And then with some of the other issues that are in the staff report that I would see this coming
forward with the hardscape requirements at 50%. With driveways and garages or patios, are going to
need to meet that?
AI -Jaffa They will have to provide us with all of that information so the next step will be figuring out
exactly where that 50% open space is and then calculate the hard surface coverage on the site, and that
would be part of the planned unit development regulations that we would put together should this project
move forward.
Aller: Any other questions at this point? The applicant wish to come forward and make a presentation?
Welcome sir. Come forward, state your name and address for the record.
John Knoblauch: Chairman Aller, staff and the Planning Commission, my name is John Knoblauch. I
live at 1450 Knob Hill Lane, Excelsior, Minnesota. I'm the applicant for the Preserve at Rice Lake.
Couple comments. This property, the landowner has drawn somewhere in the neighborhood of 12
different drawings on this subject parcel here we're working on. Staff's done a great job trying to work
with myself in this challenging piece of property, but we have drawn about, I think we're on our eleventh
shot at this as far as working with staff and trying to make a project that makes sense. The new drawing
that we submitted on Monday is not shown here and that would fall closer to Kate's comments of the lots
are 10,000 square feet. There's 16 lots. They meet the 4 units per acre of developable land. We have a
total wetland impact I believe of point, on that new drawing I think it's .14 total and seems to be pretty
close to, pretty close to what I think is a very doable project for us. So yes, we would like to ask to switch
to that medium density situation so that we can proceed and work with staff to try to massage this to get it
to work. The wetland impacts, just the drawing up there obviously is a little exaggerated because of the
bigger lots. The V that you see coming with some red and orange, which are the buffers for the wetlands,
just to make you aware. That is a 23 foot buffer so the triangle is greatly exaggerated because from the
actual wetland it'd be 23 feet so those would be rounded off, just to let you know on that triangle there.
We have a new drawing now that has a similar setup there in that area but we actually only have about
300 square feet of wetland that would be affected, or actually not make your buffer setback from that
Type I wetland. I'm song, Type 3 wetland. So I'd like, I don't think we have that from Monday?
Aller: Are these wetlands delineated now?
Aanenson: No, I think at this, we didn't want to put the new plan in because I think it's kind of a moving
target. I think we're trying to look at some of the macro issues and it's defining the parameters of the
development. The shoreland district. The impact to the wetlands. Those were kind of the driving factors.
Can we get sewer to the site? How is that connection going to be made? There's still a few question
marks that need to be resolved on where that's going to be so really the goal here is before we went into
actually laying out the plat is, we believe based on the parameters that are set in place that you would
have to go to a smaller lot. And even if you changed the density to medium you still have to get to 4.
7
Chanhassen Planning Commission —January 15, 2013
You can't go below that. So we believe that you know if we get to the 4 buildable acres at 4 units.
Working through all the design, you know limitations we can make that work and the lot sizes, they're
not all going to be at 9. They'll probably be closer to 11 or 12 1 think is what we were looking at.
AI-Jaff: This one is 11.
Aanenson: Yeah, in area which is similar to what we just did across on 212 so. Yep, and meeting the
50% open space so it would have to meet all those regulations but we didn't want to show that plan now
because our whole staff report bases on this. Really the goal here tonight is to say, do you believe this is a
reasonable way to, to proceed for this application to go forward? That's really the goal here because I
think you know we're going to have to go through all that detail in the next iteration of the plan itself.
Aller: Right, and it sounds like you're well aware of the wetland issues, which are probably will be the
biggest ones that you have to face once, regardless of the zoning.
John Knoblauch: Right.
Aller: You'll have to deal with the other entities, the State entities with regard to how you're going to put
these and what impacts.
John Knoblauch: Yes, no doubt and I think you know the, as far as this design, what I think it brings a
couple nice things to the table I think. You know it fits well with the surrounding area. The path which
would finally get connected to the east, which would be a nice trail for the neighbors. We are proposing a
sound wall to continue from the townhomes to the west in similar fashion across the next to 212 which
would be, we're figuring right now, I mean we haven't completely had noise studies. We had preliminary
noise study done but somewhere in the 6 to 8 feet going across the berm, which is basically across the
lower part of the drawing up on the board there. And then we're planning on, if we can work out with
staff the 16 lots, we're planning on this parcel to the west, which actually turned out to be about an acre
and a half would end up, which is good, high ground, would end up being dedicated to the City, which
would be nice open space. To the, on the east side, I'm sorry. Yeah, it's a very challenging piece of
property but I think it's a really good site for my product because I build a really nice 2,800 to 3,000
square foot two story and I think, the pad area that I've got figured with patio, 3 car garage will fit well
underneath the 30% hard cover, including you know driveway, sidewalk and the pad sizes we drew on
that sketch. On the new sketch actually mirror this house and I actually made an attempt to oversize the
garage from what we normally do to make sure that staff felt comfortable that these homes that I'm
proposing will have no trouble down the road and we won't be back asking for situations that they don't
enjoy so. Any questions?
Aller: Anyone? Not at this time. Thank you very much sir.
Aanenson: Mr. Chair, can I just add one other point of clarification? We didn't discuss, there's a lot of
other things that need to be, we talked about the applicant just briefly talked about the noise wall that
needs to take place and we still haven't finalized where that sewer location tie is going to be. There's a
lot of other design issues. Again we're just kind of back talking about, is this the right way? You know
we've worked through a lot of different designs that didn't seem to fit so we're just trying to decide the
right path before we come back with all that detail. But there's quite a few things that still need to be
addressed.
Aller: Ultimately the question is if it goes forward, the best option for it may very well be the increase to
allow for a PUD at the medium density so that we don't pigeon hole whether this goes forward but we
don't stop another person from coming in and doing something different if this one does not go forward.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — January 15, 2013
Aanenson: That gives you the flexibility, that's right. You have another public hearing on that. As you
recall we changed the PUD ordinance so it can go down to the smallest is 11. It's the frontage
requirement that's hanging us up in the shoreland district of 90 feet of frontage. That's what's hanging us
up so.
Aller. And staff is comfortable with that potential modification based on the 2030 plan and it fits.
Aanenson: Correct. Again... ordinance requirements, correct.
Aller: Can it be done water wise?
Jeffery: Chairman Aller, I believe it can. Again it would be on the applicant to show that it can. You
know there have been, I don't what? 11 iterations now. Every one seems to get a little closer so I guess
time will tell but I think there's probably a way to make it happen.
Aller: And if not this one, the flexibility would allow for another applicant to come in. It would just he a
new look, a fresh look as far as you're concerned for purposes of the impact on the wetlands. That the
property.
Jeffery: That is correct. That is correct.
Aller: ... any additional work. Okay. Let's open up the public hearing portion. Anyone wishing to come
forward, please do so. State your name and address for the record. Lots of lookers, no talkers?
Welcome ma'am.
Mary Muirhead: Thank you. My name is Mary Muirhead and I live at 424 Monk Court so my
townhouse would directly face, it directly faces the marshland. Judging from your last comments I can't
quite tell whether development is a foregone conclusion. If I had my druthers the land would never be
developed. It's leaving an undeveloped helps my property value at a time when everyone has
experienced loss in property value. I moved here from Anoka County where I was on 4 acres on the Rum
River and one of the things that just astounded me was the fact that I moved down here and I actually had
a sense of being more in nature than I did at the spot that I had been living and it would make me very sad
to lose that. One of the, if construction is a foregone conclusion at some point in time in the future then I
think my biggest problem with this development is where the road is. I mean the road cuts as close to the
townhouse property line as possible and just the thought of having headlights in the evening and then
additional traffic as people are going into their homes, thatjust is a concern to me so respectfully
speaking if this didn't go forward I would not be at all sadden.
Aller: Thank you, and this is exactly what we're here for is the concept so that the developer and the
council can get impact statements from people with regard to what they feel should be done with the
property so construction is never a foregone conclusion. We have to see what happens. Things have been
approved and never move forward too so thank you for coming.
Mary Muirhead: So then let me be that much clearer, please leave it undeveloped.
Aller: Anyone else wishing to speak for or against, or commenting? Good evening.
LuAnn Markgraf. Good evening. My name is LUAnn Markgraf and I live at 401 Rice Court and I'm in
the townhouse development. I'm the very last building and the unit closest to 86" so I would be
definitely impacted by the entrance the way this roadway concept is designed now. I have lots of trees.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — January 15, 2013
It's not that far back to the wetland, to the pond. It's very narrow. I mean how you could even think of
even putting a narrower street in there to accommodate the wetland, plus put a sidewalk and then try to
make it more attractive by putting spruce trees up so we're not impacted by all the traffic that would be
going in and out because it would be coming in and out right out, out my deck. Right straight there and
there is not that much room back there. It is beautiful. I don't understand why the entrance needs to be
right there against the back of that last townhome building. I do believe from everything that I've read
since Saturday that there is a great impact on that roadway and all that wetland that's behind that area in
that little circular area that you see there. I have lived in that townhouse since the development was fust
built. I've been there since 1996. When I was, when I fust moved in there was not even one single family
house and none of those homes in Mission Hills Lane were built. There has to be, this is such a great
impact on the wetlands and the proximity to the townhouses and I think the association, I don't know if
they have been involved in this at all. They would need to be involved because that property line, which
you had said Saturday all those trees would go. I mean that, I've got some big old oak trees. I've got a
dense property on that comer right there and to have all that one and to have all that traffic in and out,
plus I also think it would also be problems with traffic on 86 and 101. There's already enough problems
with 86'" and 101 without it being a controlled intersection. Especially coming from 212 and going north
on 101. A lot of people go through the single family homes to bypass that intersection of 86'" and get
onto 101 from farther down. So there is a lot of issues with this concept and just because we're a
townhouse development should not bear anything that we get the bad end. Oh, you'll have the traffic in
and out. You'll have you know all this beautiful area, all these trees, the wetlands back there impacted. It
is absolutely horrible to even think of having that on that western edge of this development.
Aller. Alright, thank you. Anyone else wishing to speak for or against? Good evening sir.
Steve Lehto: Good evening. My name is Steve Lehto. I live at 8591 Tigua Lane so our, my wife and I
have the property that's in the upper right corner of the map, which abuts this property all the way to 86's
so we're going to have a lot of impact. And I'd like to echo the comments of the first person who spoke
tonight that when we bought our home in the summer of 2010, one of the main reasons we fell in love
with the property was the fact that it was indeed in nature and the impact of a development like this is
obviously going to be significant for us. Again in line with what the fust person stated, our view is that
you know it would be best for us selfishly if the property were never developed but if development is
truly an inevitability, we're looking for something that is obviously going to be as, the least amount of
impact obviously to our property and also to the neighborhood. I guess I don't know what different
options might exist out there. What the difference really is. We're going to obviously have to do some
research too but the difference between low and medium density, I'm not certain how that impacts
potential developments that another applicant might bring before the council but in some ways it seems
like this, the 11 drawings that were mentioned have gone some way to try to mitigate that impact so we're
certainly thankful for that but again if we had our druthers the property would remain a natural resource
like it is now so, thank you.
Aller. Alright, thank you sir. Anyone else?
Arturo Umrtia: Sure. My name is Arturo Urrutia. I'm at 408 Monk Court and I think I would like to
second what the previous homeowner said. One of the reasons that I purchased my townhouse was that it
afforded me a nice view of the wetlands in the back, and that's always been one of the things that I
Pointed out to the people that came to visit. The first time, or the first couple of months that I had guests
was, look at the nice view that I have on the other side of the house. And I don't know what the pro's and
con's tax wise and development wise for the City would be. From a selfish homeowner standpoint, also
with all due respect to the developers, I think it would be to our detriment to Mission Hills if something
like this gets developed. Hopefully if something does get developed it would try to minimize the impact
10
Chanhassen Planning Commission — January 15, 2013
traffic wise and tree wise and view wise for the current owners so I just wanted to second what other
People were saying and thank you for the opportunity to express our views.
Aller: Great, thank you. Anyone else? Okay, seeing no one come forward we'll close the public hearing
portion and open for comments from the commissioners. Anyone? It's a concept hearing so.
Colopoulos: Yeah, Chairman Aller you made an earlier comment about the roadway which I think is
apparently of concern here regardless of what other considerations are given to the zoning itself. You
know that is, off the top of my head that to me is the biggest concern. The roadway cutting across that
wetlands there. I mean obviously as this plan goes forward there's going to be several, several shall we
say conflicting perceptions here. You know the views expressed by the neighbors versus the property
rights of the owner of the property and their legal right to pursue application for developable plans.
Where do we think the roadway issue is going to weigh in? That's as much of a question I guess as that
of a comment. 1 mean how much of an influence is that going to be?
Aller. I think it's going to depend on the actual plan that's put forward.
Aanenson: We just need to stay for the, you know there's going, this property is developable and we've
looked at all the different iterations for the roadway. I think the least amount of impact to the wetlands is
in the configuration that it's shown the access to the property. You're coming across a larger portion of
the wetland the further you move to the, to the west. Excuse me, east. So we had to place it there.
Certainly I mean we haven't looked at all the impacts of the surrounding property. That's the first I've
heard all those trees are coming down on the property. What would be the property. It's on their property
if the trees would come down, on the developer's proposed property but we would look at that more
closely.
Colopoulos: So the concept drawing here just basically... across the wetlands and with minimum impact,
that was behind that drawing there.
Aanenson: I'll let Terry answer that question.
Jeffery: If I may. Terry Jeffery, Water Resources Coordinator. I'm not Krista Spreiter. It's a little tough
to hear, to see in this drawing and I intentionally overlaid the wetlands in a very transparent layer so that
you could see what was beneath it but if you look at where the two red impacts are, there is actually no,
there is a small bridge that exists right there. It's two separate wetlands. One over, one over to the, yeah.
Yep, there. One to the east. One to the west. Yep, yep, so to come through up here would actually result
in greater impact and then to come even further north would result in property he doesn't even have
control of. Again regardless of what comes through as a final product he's going to have to meet the
Wetland Conservation Act sequencing which always look at one, avoidance. Two, minimization and
three, replacement of those unavoidable impacts so, and the intent of the PUD would be that there would
be that trade-off where okay, we can, you get the lots but we need to provide protections that we would
not otherwise be afforded if we used standard zoning.
Aller: And that's why 1 don't think it would be a bad thing to comment and pass our comment along to
the council that they should potentially look at this for movement towards allowing for a PUD with
medium density to allow greater flexibility so that this project, or another project can come forward and
allow for greater opportunity to deal with the mitigation to those wetlands.
Aanenson: If I may, I think if you look at this map that's up on the screen right now, it's very illustrative
of the wetland impacts. What it's not showing is the over layer of the shoreland impacts and that's where
the, where the problem aligns. As we showed on the other, other drawing, part of the property is zoned
11
Chanhassen Planning Commission —January 15, 2013
for twinhomes so you know there are some different things. What we're trying to do is kind of take the
best of all that. Get that 501/o open space. Minimize those impacts and we don't have all that detail yet.
As the applicant said we've already worked through a number of drawings so we're saying we're really
not on the right path right now. Now we want to go to a different direction and try to even do a better job
of trying to reduce those impacts and move forward so that's what we're just trying to get a read on. On
that issue and just anything that we would do, whether the council would recommend would have to come
back through in their process so I want to make sure the residents understand that. There's plenty of time
to work through some of those issues.
Aller: Anything?
Tennyson: Well that was a good reminder that it would come forward again and there's no being stuck
with the path that could be taken.
Aanenson: Correct, and there's a lot of other agencies that have review. You know the DNR. Wetland
Conservation Act, all those agencies are going to have to weigh in on that so it's going to be a little bit
more work on that.
Tennyson: Okay.
Aller: Anything further?
Hokkanen: It seems to me that it's going to be difficult at some, I mean with all these agencies and the
wetlands, changing it to medium density might be the best and flexible way to do it but I mean a couple
of these lots here might not even be able to have, I mean a home based on what I see. So adding I don't
know, I mean you have to explore the options though. It's the property owner's right.
Aller: And I think that's, that's what we're here for is to comment to the council that if they're going to
redirect this and put it back and consideration could be had for the medium density allows for flexibility
which would hopefully leave those areas untouched perhaps but it will depend on what comes back
through.
Hokkanen: Right. Okay.
Aller. Okay.
Colopoulos: This will be a freestanding development? It's not going to be part of a nearby association?
AI-Jaff: Correct.
Colopoulos: Okay. It's a separate?
A]-Jaff: Correct.
Colopoulos: Development. Got it.
Aller: Okay, I'll entertain a motion to pass comments to the City Council.
Tennyson: I'll move. I'm reading two different things here. Staff recommends that the Chanhassen
Planning Commission provide the City Council with comments and feedback and direct the applicant to
address issues raised in the staff report dated January 15, 2013.
12
Chanhassen Planning Commission —January 15, 2013
Hokkanen: Second.
Aller: Have a motion and a second. Any further discussion?
Aanenson: Can I make clarification on the motion?
Tennyson: Adding the comment about staff report?
Aanenson: Did we get medium density in there?
Aller: We probably should because there were items in the staff report that we discussed that were not...
Aanenson: Okay, I guess just to make sure that we're clear on that we're looking at a land use, potential
land use amendment, just for clarification. It's in the staff report but I want to make sure that, I want to
make sure you and I understand what you're recommending, if that's what your recommendation is.
Tennyson: So staff report dated January 15, 2013 along with staff's proposed comments listed in the staff
report.
Hokkanen: Second.
Aller: And with that we have a motion and a second. Any further discussion?
Tennyson moved, Hokkanen seconded that the Chanhassen Planning Commission provide the City
Council with comments and feedback, and direct the applicant to address issues raised in the staff
report dated January 15, 2013 along with staffs proposed comments listed in the staff report dated
January 15, 2013. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0.
Aanenson: And if I may Mr. Chair, just for the residents that are here. This item is going to the City
Council on January 281h I believe.
AI -Jaffa January 28h.
Aanenson: 28h, yes so these comments will be forwarded to the City Council. Again they're going to
just make a recommendation too and then it's up to the applicant if he wants to pursue, based on whatever
direction that he also gets from the City Council.
Aller: So the City Council won't actually be doing anything as far as an up or down vote unless they
decide to...?
Aanenson: That's correct Correct.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Hokkanen noted the verbatim and summary Minutes
of the Planning Commission meeting dated December 4, 2012 as presented.

Subject: RE: CORRECTION - City of Chanhassen Referral Request for Preserve at Rice Lake
CONCEPT Planned Unit Development
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on this proposal. As part of the DNR review, we looked at the
City's shoreland ordinance. It came to our attention that although the city's shoreland ordinance has been approved by
the DNR, it does not include state standards for PUD's in the shoreland area. The city's PUD standards are not compliant
with state standards in the shoreland area. We researched the history of the city's shoreland ordinance and discovered
that PUD standards were not included in the ordinance at the time DNR approved the ordinance in 1994, despite our
urging that the city do so.
Unfortunately this means that the DNR must approve preliminary plans for PUDs in the shoreland area of Chanhassen.
We were not previously aware of this requirement but now that we are, we are obligated to inform you of this
requirement. State shoreland rules chapter 6120 part 3800 addresses planned unit developments. Here is a link to
Minnesota Rules 6120.3800: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/rules/?id=6120.3800
I have underlined the portion of subpart 1 (below) that indicates that DNR approval is necessary.
Subpart 1. Scope of planned unit development provisions
Local governments must consider incorporating, with approval of the commissioner, provisions into shoreland
management controls to allow planned unit developments. The provisions may allow planned unit
developments for new projects on undeveloped land, redevelopment of previously built sites, or conversions of
existing buildings and land. The provisions must be consistent with standards in this part. During the period
between adoption of parts 6120.2500 to 6120.3900 and adoption of local government official controls meeting
the planned unit development standards in part 6120.3800, preliminary plans for each planned unit
development must be reviewed for consistencv with part 6120.3800 and approved by the commissioner before
final local government approval
To approve the preliminary plans, we need the attached PUD checklist completed and returned. I suggest that you ask
the developer to fill it out.
Also, I recommend that the City consider adopting compliant PUD standards so you don't have to deal with us on these
matters in the future. I can assist you in this process — let us know if you would like to pursue this option.
Please feel free to contact me with questions or for further discussion.

essentially service-oriented. For example, hotel/motel accommodations, resorts,
recreational vehicle and camping parks, and other primarily service- oriented activities
are commercial planned unit developments.
NOTE: An expansion to an existing commercial PUD involving 6 or less
new dwelling units or sites since the date the community adopted land use
regulations compliant with the revised shorelandPUD standards in
Part 6120.3800 is permissible as a permitted use (under DNR's shoreland rules),
provided the total project density does not exceedthe density calculated in the
project density evaluation calculations which follows in Part 5.
A combined "residential and commercial" PUD? For the purposes of this checklist,
this is a development with a mixture of uses and a combination of residential/
commercial dwelling units or sites. The total project acreage must be divided
between the respective tables on page 6 for residential density analysis and page 8
for commercial density analysis. If a portion of the project area is set aside for a
strictly commercial activity not involving dwelling unitsor dwelling sites
(e.g., a proposed/existingmarina, restaurants, etc.), then a portion of the lot must
be excluded from the density evaluation noted in the preceding sentence - this would
be an area equal to creating a hypothetical lot for these facilities such that all
dimensional, sewage treatment and water supply, and performance standards could
be satisfied assuming this development was standing on its own.
Conversion of a resort or other land use to a residential PUD? Resorts and other land
uses may be converted to a residential PUD provided:
1) the proposed conversion has been initially evaluated in accordance with the criteria
in Parts 5 and 6 which follow; and 2) remedial measures have been taken to correct
project deficiencies as determined by the evaluation in Parts 5 and 6, all in accordance
with Part 6120.3800, Subpart 5. (D) (See Attachment A, Part A).
Yes _No
_Yes No
Yes No
_Yes _No If this is a resort/other land conversion, have items I and 2 in the preceding
paragraph been satisfied?
This checklist is designed so that an affirmative answer to the following questions will indicate that
the PUD proposal meets applicable DNR shoreland/wild and scenic rivers rules. If a question is
not applicable to a given PUD proposal, then an WIA"should be entered into the "Yes" column
(with an explanation, if necessary).
PA
Part 3. Land Use District Compatibility:
Is the proposed land use permissible in the applicable zoning district?
If this is a residential PUD in a Shoreland District, does the development have at
least 5 dwelling units or sites? If not, the proposal does not qualify as a residential PUD.
If this is a shoreland PUD, is the community requiring a Conditional Use application?
Part 4. Project Development Information:
Have the following project development documents been provided:
Documents that explain how the PUD will be designed and will function, as
approved by the DNR/local unit of government (specify which of the following
have been provided):
Yes No
Yes No
_Yes No
_ A master plan/drawing describing the project and the floor plan for all commercial
structures to be occupied.
Yes No
_ A property owners association agreement (for residential PUD's) with mandatory membership and
Al in accordance with the requirements of Part 6120.3800, subpart 5. (C) (See Attachment A, Part B); and
_ Deed restrictions, covenants, permanent easements or other instruments that: 1) properly address
future vegetative and topographic alterations, construction of additional buildings, (uncontrolled) beaching
of watercraft, and construction of commercial buildings in residential PUD'S; and 2) ensure the long-term
preservation and maintenance of open space (in accordance with the criteria and analysis specified in Part 6.
A. of this checklist).
A site plan and/or plat for the project showing locations of property boundaries, _Yes _No
surface water features, existing and proposed structures and other facilities, land
alterations, sewage treatment and water supply systems (where public systems will
not be provided), and topographic contours at ten -foot intervals or less. When a PUD
is a combined commercial and residential development, the site plan and/or plat
must indicate and distinguish which buildings and portions of the project are residential,
commercial or a combination of the two (see discussion on combined residential and
commercial PUD's ).
The PUD applicant has satisfied all the necessary environmental assessment worksheet _Yes No
(EAW) or environmental impact statement (EIS) requirements. The DNR/local unit of
government approval cannot occur until the environmental review process is complete.
If an EAW/EIS is required, do not answer this question "Yes" unless the required
environmental review process is complete.
In accordance with A. C. below, attach a map or drawing which shows:
- how the project has been divided into tiers, and
- those areas 'unsuitable" for inclusion in the density calculation.
A. In a shoreland district, divide the parcel into tiers by locating one or more lines approximately
parallel to a line that identifies the ordinary high water level at the following intervals,
proceeding landward:
SHORELAND TIER DIMENSIONS
Unsewered Sewered
(feet) (feet)
General development lakes -first tier 200 200
General development lakes -second and additional tiers 267 200
Recreational development lakes 267 267
Natural environment lakes 400 320
All river classes' 300 300
B. In a wild and scenic river district, determine the tier depth dimensions for all tiers by dividing
the minimum lot size by the minimum lot width requirement (NOTE: Certain urban reaches of
wild and scenic rivers are managed by use of shoreland provisions which will require
identifying tier depths as specified in A. above).
C. Calculate the "suitable area" for development within each tier, excluding all unsuitable areas
such as wetlands bluffs, land below the ordinary high water level of public waters, controlled
access lot type areas" , and the area set aside for commercial facilities not involving dwelling
units or sites. This suitable area is then subjected to either the residential (subpart D below) or
commercial (subpart E below) PUD density evaluation steps to arrive at an allowable number of
dwelling units or sites. Include this suitable area figure in column 2 of the Residential PUD
Table in subpart D or column 4 of the Commercial PUD Table in subpart E, as appropriate.
The total site acreage equals
Specify the total square feettacreage of the site which is unsuitable due to:
Wetlands
Bluffs
Land below the Ordinary High Water Level
Controlled Access Lot Area
The area set aside for strictly commercial facilities
*• See the discussion in Part 6. C (4) of this checklist if it is desired to provide over -water mooring spaces for nonriparian
residential lot owners. To do this, additional riparian open space area will have to be provided consistent with the controlled access
lot sizing calculations in the shoreland rules and as explained in Attachment A, Part C.
D. For Residential PUD's, determine the allowable density by tier in accordance with Steps 1-3 below:
1. In a Shoreland District, divide the suitable area within each tier by the single residential lot size
standard for lakes or, for rivers, the single residential lot width standard times the tier depth
(unless the local unit of government has specified an alternative minimum lot size for rivers
which shall then be used) to yield a base density of dwelling units or sites for each tier.
Complete columns 2 and 3 in the Residential PUD Table on the following page;
2. In a wild and scenic river district, divide the suitable area within each tier by the single
residential lot size. Complete columns 2 and 3 in the Residential PUD Table in subitem 3 which
follows; and
Complete the remainder of the table on the following page to the degree necessary to determine
final allowable project density.

Commercial PUD Analysis Table in item 2 on the next page. Complete the Commercial PUD table, if
necessary, concurrently with the more detailed explanation in item I below:
1. Density/base dwelling unit or dwelling site calculation:
a) Determine the average inside living area size (i.e., average unit floor area) of
dwelling units or sites within each tier, including both existing and proposed units
and sites. Computation of inside living area sizes need not include decks, patios,
stoops, steps, garages, or porches and basements, unless they are habitable space.
Fill in column 2 of the table on the next page.
b) Select the appropriate floor area ratio from the table included as Attachment B to
this checklist and complete column 3 of the table below.
C) Multiply the suitable area within each tier (in column 4) by the floor area ratio (in
column 3) to yield a total floor area for each tier allowed to be used for dwelling
units or sites and put the answer in column 5 of the table.
d) Divide the "total floor area" for each tier in column 5 by the average inside living
area size in column 2 to yield a base number of dwelling units or sites for each tier,
put the answer in column 6.

Part 6. Design and performance standards.
All PUD's must meet the following design and performance standards prior to final approval by the
DNR/responsible local unit of government:
A. Open Space Preservation and Management _Yes No
At least 50 percent of the total project area is preserved as open space and the following
additional standards are met:
a) Dwelling units or sites, road rights-of-way, or land covered by road surfaces, parking
areas, or structures, except water -oriented accessory structures or facilities, are
developed areas and are not included in the computation of minimum open space.
b) Open space does not include commercial facilities or uses (except open space may
contain water -oriented accessory structures or facilities consistent with Part 6120.3300,
Subpart 3, (H) (See Attachment A, Part D.) or recreational facilities for use by owners
or occupants of the dwelling units or sites, or the public).
c) Open space includes areas with physical characteristics unsuitable for development in
their natural state, and areas containing significant historic sites or unplatted cemeteries.
d) The appearance of open space areas, including topography, vegetation, and allowable
uses, is preserved by use of restrictive deed covenants, permanent easements, public
dedication and acceptance, or other equally effective and permanent means.
e) All required open space areas are clearly identified or described in all final project
drawings/plats and related project documents.
NOTE: Open space may include subsurface sewage treatment systems if the use of the space is restricted to avoid adverse
impacts on the systems.
2. The shore impact zone (SIZ), based on normal structure setbacks, is included as open space
subject to the following:
a) Determine SIZ depth by multiplying the normal minimum building setback of
feet by one-half to give a shore impact zone depth back from the
ordinary high water level of feet; and
b) reserve the SIZ as open space as follows:
- For new residential PUD'S, at least 70 percent of this SIZ area is preserved in its
natural state.
- For new commercial PUD'S, at least 50 percent of this SIZ area is preserved in
its existing or natural state.
- For existing developments/conversions, at least 50 percent of this SIZ area is
preserved in its natural or existing state.
B. Centralization of Utilities and Structures _Yes _No
1. The PUD is connected to a publicly -owned sewer or water supply system, if available.
2. If publicly -owned utility systems are not available, the on-site water supply and sewage
treatment systems are centralized and will meet the applicable requirements of the State
Department of Health or the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, respectively.
3. The PUD applicant has either: 1) received any required State Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA) permit for the sewage treatment system; or 2) the applicant has received a
written statement from the MPCA indicating that it is likely that there will be no anticipated
problems in issuing a permit.
4. Sufficient lawn area free of limiting factors has been set aside for a replacement soil treatment
system for each sewage treatment system that is constructed.
For residential PUD'S, all dwelling units or sites are clustered into one or more groups on
suitable sites and are designed and located to meet or exceed the following standards for the
relevant shoreland or wild and scenic river district classification:
(1)

**Divide column 2 by column I and multiply by 100.
C. Placement of Shore Recreation Facilities
1. All swimming areas, docks and watercraft mooring areas and launching ramps are centralized in
suitable locations.
2. The number of spaces provided for continuous over -water mooring, beaching or docking of
watercraft does not exceed one for each first tier residential or commercial dwelling unit or site
allowable in the applicable table in Part 5. D. or E. Commercial PUD'S can also include
mooring sites authorized under a DNR protected water's permit for a commercial marina.
Indicate the number of over -water spaces in this proposed development, and of this the number
authorized under DNR permit for a commercial marina
3. Access to the lake or river for non -first tier property owners or for occupants of non -first tier
commercial dwelling units or sites is provided only by a launching ramp. The launching ramp
may include a small dock for the loading and unloading of equipment.
4. As an alternative to item 3 immediately above and for residential PUD'S only, nonriparian
owners have been provided over -water mooring, beaching, or docking spaces in addition to
those allowed for riparian first tier owners in item 2 immediately above. This is accomplished
by providing additional "open space" in an amount (area) equal to the "controlled access lot"
sizing requirements in the shoreland rules in Part 6120.3300, Subp. 2. E. (1) for the number of
additional spaces proposed (complete the calculations in Attachment A, Part C). The additional
open space also meets the following:
a) A separate [controlled access] "lot of record" has not been created/subdivided, but: 1)
the riparian area used for the controlled access lot sizing calculation has been clearly
shown on the PUD drawings; and 2) the allowable project densities determined in Part
5. D. and E. have been redetermined to reflect the reduced riparian tier area now
available for dwelling unit or dwelling site density calculations;
b) This additional open space is treated consistent with the provisions of Part 6. A.1. a - e
of this checklist; and
C) If nonriparian dwelling units or sites are being provided with over -water mooring
spaces, then indicate the total number of mooring spaces, and of this total the number
for: 1) residential/commercial first tier dwelling units or sites ; 2) the number
authorized under DNR permit for a commercial marina; and 3) the number of spaces for
non first tier/nonriparian residential dwelling units or sites calculated on Attachment A,
Part C of this checklist.
All launching ramps and on -water mooring structures/facilities for residential uses, within the
meaning of Minnesota Rules, Parts 6115.0170, Subp. 20; 6115.0210; and 6115.0211, shall be
exempt from a DNR permit if: 1) approved as part of a PUD consistent with Parts 6120.2500-
6120.3900; and 2) designed and constructed in accordance with the criteria of the applicable
DNR agency rule cited in this subpart.
D. Visibility. Structures, parking areas and other facilities will be _Yes No
treated to reduce visibility as viewed from the public water and
adjacent shoreland. A specific plan/planning statement has been
submitted by the applicant showing how this is to be accomplished
by use of vegetation, topography, increased setbacks, color, or other
means acceptable to the local unit of government/DNR, assuming
summer, leaf -on conditions.
E. Erosion Control and Stormwater Management. To prevent erosion: _Yes _No
1) If necessary, time restrictions have been specified that limit the length of time bare ground
can be exposed.
2) Temporary ground covers, sediment entrapment facilities, vegetated buffer strips or other
appropriate techniques will be used to minimize erosion potential to surface waters.
3) If necessary because of special site conditions, an erosion control plan approved by the soil
and water conservation district was required.
4) The project has been designed to effectively manage the quantity and quality of runoff. The
project will not result in increased erosion, sedimentation or flood discharges or stages for
runoff events up to and including the 100 -year frequency event.
5) Impervious surface within any tier does not exceed 25 percent of the tier area (except that
35 percent impervious surface coverage may be allowed in the first tier of general
development lakes with approved storm water management and vegetative control plans).
Accessory Structures: _Yes No
1) All accessory structures and facilities, except those that are water -oriented, meet or exceed
the normal structure setback standards.
2) Water -oriented accessory structures allowed within the normal building setback area are
centralized and meet the standards in Parts 6120.3300, Subpart 3. B. (3) and 6120.3300,
Subpart 3. (H) (See Attachment A, Part D).

Proposed conversions must be initially evaluated using the same procedures and standards for developments
involving all new construction. Inconsistencies between existing features of the development and these
standards must be identified.
Deficiencies involving water supply and sewage treatment, structure color, impervious coverage open space,
and shore recreation facilities must be corrected as part of the conversion or as specified in the conditional
use permit.
Shore and bluff impact zone deficiencies must be evaluated and reasonable improvements made as part of
the conversion. These improvements must include, where applicable, the following:
_ Removal of extraneous buildings, docks, or other facilities that no longer need to be located in shore
or bluff impact zones.
Remedial measures to correct erosion sites and improve vegetative cover and screening of buildings
and other facilities as viewed from the water.
If existing dwelling units are located in shore or bluff impact zones, conditions are attached to
approvals of conversions that preclude exterior expansions in any dimension or substantial
alterations. The conditions must also provide for future relocation of dwelling units, where feasible,
to other locations, meeting all setback and elevation requirements when they are rebuilt or replaced.
Existing dwelling unit or dwelling site densities that exceed the standards in Part 5 of this checklist may be
allowed to continue but must not be allowed to be increased, either at the time of conversion or in the future.
Efforts must be made during the conversion to limit impacts of high densities by requiring seasonal use,
improving vegetative screening, centralizing shore recreation facilities, installing new sewage treatment
systems or other means.
B. Provisions for Properly Owners Association Agreement Documents
Open space preservation. Deed restrictions, covenants, permanent easements, public dedication and
acceptance, or other equally effective and permanent means must be provided to ensure long tern
reservation and maintenance of open space. The instruments must include all of the following protections:
10
Commercial uses are prohibited.
Vegetation and topographic alterations other than routine maintenance are prohibited.
Construction of additional buildings or storage of vehicles and other materials is prohibited.
Uncontrolled beaching of watercraft is prohibited.
Development, organization and functioning. Unless an equally effective alternative community framework
is established when applicable, all residential planned unit developments must use an owners association
with the following features:
Membership is mandatory for each dwelling unit or site purchaser and any successive purchases.
Each member must pay a pro rata share of the association's expenses, and unpaid assessments can
become liens on units or sites.
Assessments are adjustable to accommodate changing conditions.
The association are responsible for insurance, taxes, and maintenance of all commonly owned
property and facilities.
C. Controlled Access for Nonriparian Owners/Over-Water Mooring Spaces
Nonriparian/non-first tier owners in residential PUD'S can be provided over -water mooring or docking
spaces. Provisions of Part 6 C. of this checklist and the following provisions are satisfied.
Additional riparian open space equivalent to the width and size of a standard single residential lot is
provided for the first six additional watercraft allowed for nonriparian lots. For each additional watercraft
above six, the width of the above -noted standard residential lot (using the same depth must be increased by
the percentage from the following table and the calculations which follow:

D. Water -Oriented Accessory Structures
The structure or facility must not exceed ten feet in height, exclusive of safety rails, and detached decks
must not exceed eight feet above grade at any point.
The setback of the structure or facility from the ordinary high water level must be at least ten feet.
The structure or facility must be treated to reduce visibility as viewed from public waters and adjacent
shorelands by vegetation, topography, increased setbacks, color, or other means acceptable to the local unit
of government, assuming summer, leaf -on conditions.
The roof may be used as a deck with safety rails, but must not be enclosed or used as a storage area.
The structure or facility must not be designed or used for human habitation and must not contain water
supply or sewage treatment facilities.
The structure cannot occupy an area greater than 250 square feet. As an alternative for general development
and recreational development waterbodies, water -oriented accessory structures used solely for watercraft
storage, and including storage of related boating and water -oriented sporting equipment, may occupy an area
up to 400 square feet, provided the maximum width of the structure is 20 teet as measured parallel to the
configuration of the shoreline.
NOTE: Water -oriented accessory structures may have the lowest floor placed lower than the flood
protection elevation determined if the structure is constructed of flood -resistant materials to the elevation,
electrical and mechanical equipment is placed above the elevation and, if long duration flooding is
anticipated, the structure is built to withstand ice action and wind -driven waves and debris.

I REVISOR 6120.3800
6120.3800 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
Subpart 1. Scope of planned unit development provisions. Local governments
must consider incorporating, with approval of the commissioner, provisions into shoreland
management controls to allow planned unit developments. The provisions may allow
planned unit developments for new projects on undeveloped land, redevelopment of
previously built sites, or conversions of existing buildings and land. The provisions must
be consistent with standards in this part. During the period between adoption of parts
6120.2500 to 6120.3900 and adoption of local government official controls meeting the
planned unit development standards in part 6120.3800, preliminary plans for each planned
unit development must be reviewed for consistency with part 6120.3800 and approved by
the commissioner before final local government approval.
Subp. 2. Land use district designation. If local governments allow planned unit
developments, the land use districts in which they are an allowable conditional use must
be identified in their official controls and on a zoning map. Designation of the districts
must be based on consideration of the criteria in part 6120.3200 and the following criteria:
A. existing recreational use of the surface waters and likely increases in use
associated with planned unit developments;
B. physical and aesthetic impacts of increased density;
C. suitability of lands for the planned unit development approach;
D. level of current development in the area; and
E. amounts and types of ownership of undeveloped lands.
Expansions to existing commercial planned unit developments involving up to six
dwelling units or sites, unless the density determined under subpart 6, item A is exceeded,
may be allowed as permitted uses under standards developed by local units of government.
The date of effect of official controls adopted by each local government under this part
must be the base date for determination of expansions. Expansions exceeding these limits
must be processed as conditional uses and meet the standards in this part.
Subp. 3. Information requirements. Provisions for submission of adequate
information by project proponents must be included in official controls. The provisions
must include at least the following:
A. a site plan for the project showing property boundaries, surface water
features, existing and proposed structures, sewage treatment systems, topographic
contours at ten -foot intervals or less, and other facilities; and
B. documents that explain how the project is designed and will function. These
ordinarily include covenants that require membership in a property owners association,

2 REVISOR 6120.3800
various easements, a concept statement describing the project, floor plans for structures,
and various other drawings or plans.
Subp. 4. Dwelling unit or site density evaluation. Proposed new or expansions
to existing planned unit developments must be evaluated using the following procedures
and standards:
A. The project parcel must be divided into tiers by locating one or more
lines approximately parallel to a line that identifies the ordinary high water level at the
following intervals, proceeding landward:
Shoreland Tier Dimensions
Unsewered Sewered
(feet) (feet)
General development lakes - first tier 200 200
General development lakes - second and additional tiers ..267 200
Recreational development lakes 267 267
Natural environment lakes 400 320
All river classes 300 300
B. The area within each tier is next calculated, excluding all wetlands, bluffs,
or land below the ordinary high water level of public waters. This area is then subjected
to either the residential (subpart 5) or commercial (subpart 6) planned unit development
density evaluation steps to arrive at an allowable number of dwelling units or sites.
Subp. 5. Residential planned unit development density evaluation steps and
design criteria. The density evaluation steps and design criteria for residential planned
unit developments are contained in items A to D.
A. The area within each tier is divided by the single residential lot size standard
for lakes or, for rivers, the single residential lot width standard times the tier depth unless
the local unit of government has specified an alternative minimum lot size for rivers
which shall then be used to yield a base density of dwelling units or sites for each tier.
Proposed locations and numbers of dwelling units or sites for the residential planned
unit development are then compared with these data and map of the evaluation. Local
governments may allow some dwelling unit or site density increases for residential planned
unit developments above the densities determined in the evaluation if all dimensional
standards in part 6120.3300 are met or exceeded. Maximum density increases may only
be allowed if all design criteria in subpart 5, item B, are also met or exceeded. Increases
in dwelling unit or site densities must not exceed the maximums in the following table.

B. The design criteria are:
(1) All residential planned unit developments must contain at least five
dwelling units or sites.
(2) Residential planned unit developments must contain open space
meeting all of the following criteria:
(a) At least 50 percent of the total project area must be preserved
as open space.
(b) Dwelling units or sites, road rights-of-way, or land covered by
road surfaces, parking areas, or structures, except water -oriented accessory structures or
facilities, are developed areas and should not be included in the computation of minimum
open space.
(c) Open space must include areas with physical characteristics
unsuitable for development in their natural state, and areas containing significant historic
sites or unplatted cemeteries.
(d) Open space may include outdoor recreational facilities for use by
owners of the dwelling units or sites, or the public.
(e) The shore impact zone, based on normal structure setbacks, must
be included as open space. At least 50 percent of the shore impact zone area of existing
developments or at least 70 percent of the shore impact zone area of new developments
must be preserved in their natural or existing state.
Copyright 02009 by the Revisor of Statutes. State of Minnesota. All Rights Reserved.
4 REVISOR 6120.3800
(f) Open space must not include commercial facilities or uses, but may
contain water -oriented accessory structures or facilities.
(g) The appearance of open space areas, including topography,
vegetation, and allowable uses, must be preserved by use of restrictive deed covenants,
permanent easements, public dedication and acceptance, or other equally effective and
permanent means.
(h) Open space may include subsurface sewage treatment systems if
the use of the space is restricted to avoid adverse impacts on the systems.
(3) Centralization and design of facilities and structures must be done
according to the following standards:
(a) Residential planned unit developments must be connected to
publicly owned water supply and sewer systems, if available. On-site water supply and
sewage treatment systems must be centralized and designed and installed to meet or
exceed applicable standards or rules of the Minnesota Department of Health and the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. On-site sewage treatment systems must be located
on the most suitable areas of the development, and sufficient lawn area free of limiting
factors must be provided for a replacement soil treatment system for each sewage system.
(b) Dwelling units or sites must be clustered into one or more
groups and located on suitable areas of the development. They must be designed and
located to meet or exceed the following dimensional standards for the relevant shoreland
classification: setback from the ordinary high water level, elevation above the surface
water features, and maximum height. Setbacks from the ordinary high water level must
be increased for developments with density increases. Maximum density increases may
only be allowed if structure setbacks from the ordinary high water level are increased to
at least 50 percent greater than the minimum setback, or the impact on the waterbody is
reduced an equivalent amount through vegetative management, topography, or additional
means acceptable to the local unit of government and the setback is at least 25 percent
greater than the minimum setback.
(c) Shore recreation facilities, including but not limited to swimming
areas, docks, and watercraft mooring areas and launching ramps must be centralized and
located in areas suitable for them. Evaluation of suitability must include consideration
of land slope, water depth, vegetation, soils, depth to groundwater and bedrock, or other
relevant factors. The number of spaces provided for continuous beaching, mooring, or
docking of watercraft must not exceed one for each allowable dwelling unit or site in the
fust tier. Launching ramp facilities, including a small dock for loading and unloading
equipment, may be provided for use by occupants of dwelling units or sites located
in other tiers.
Copyright 02009 by the Revisor of Statutes. State of Minnesota. All Rights Reserved.
5 REVISOR 6120.3800
(d) Structures, parking areas, and other facilities must be treated to
reduce visibility as viewed from public waters and adjacent shorelands by vegetation,
topography, increased setbacks, color, or other means acceptable to the local unit of
government, assuming summer, leaf -on conditions.
(e) Water -oriented accessory structures and facilities may be allowed
if they meet or exceed design standards contained in part 6120.3300, subpart 3, item H,
and are centralized.
(f) Accessory structures and facilities may be allowed if they meet or
exceed standards in part 6120.3300, subpart 3, item H, and are centralized.
(4) Erosion control and storm water management for residential planned
unit developments must:
(a) Be designed, and their construction managed, to minimize the
likelihood of serious erosion occurring either during or after construction. This must
be accomplished by limiting the amount and length of time of bare ground exposure.
Temporary ground covers, sediment entrapment facilities, vegetated buffer strips, or
other appropriate techniques must be used to minimize erosion impacts on surface water
features. Erosion control plans approved by a soil and water conservation district may be
required if project size and site physical characteristics warrant.
(b) Be designed and constructed to effectively manage reasonably
expected quantities and qualities of storm water runoff.
C. Administration and maintenance requirements. Before final approval of all
residential planned unit developments, local governments must ensure adequate provisions
have been developed for preservation and maintenance in perpetuity of open spaces and
for the continued existence and functioning of the development as a community.
(1) Open space preservation. Deed restrictions, covenants, permanent
easements, public dedication and acceptance, or other equally effective and permanent
means must be provided to ensure long-term preservation and maintenance of open space.
The instruments must include all of the following protections:
(a) commercial uses prohibited;
(b) vegetation and topographic alterations other than routine
maintenance prohibited;
(c) construction of additional buildings or storage of vehicles and
other materials prohibited; and
(d) uncontrolled beaching prohibited.
Copyright I2009 by the Revisor of Statutes. State of Minnesota. All Rights Reserved.
6 REVISOR 6120.3800
(2) Development organization and functioning. Unless an equally effective
alternative community framework is established, when applicable, all residential planned
unit developments must use an owners association with the following features:
(a) Membership must be mandatory for each dwelling unit or site
purchaser and any successive purchasers.
(b) Each member must pay a pro rata share of the association's
expenses, and unpaid assessments can become liens on units or sites.
(c) Assessments must be adjustable to accommodate changing
conditions.
(d) The association must be responsible for insurance, taxes, and
maintenance of all commonly owned property and facilities.
D. Conversions. Local governments may allow existing resorts or other land
uses and facilities to be converted to residential planned unit developments if all of the
following standards are met:
(1) Proposed conversions must be initially evaluated using the same
procedures and standards presented in this part for developments involving all new
construction. Inconsistencies between existing features of the development and these
standards must be identified.
(2) Deficiencies involving water supply and sewage treatment, structure
color, impervious coverage, open space, and shore recreation facilities must be corrected
as part of the conversion or as specified in the conditional use permit.
(3) Shore and bluff impact zone deficiencies must be evaluated and
reasonable improvements made as part of the conversion. These improvements must
include, where applicable, the following:
(a) removal of extraneous buildings, docks, or other facilities that no
longer need to be located in shore or bluff impact zones;
(b) remedial measures to correct erosion sites and improve vegetative
cover and screening of buildings and other facilities as viewed from the water; and
(c) if existing dwelling units are located in shore or bluff impact zones,
conditions are attached to approvals of conversions that preclude exterior expansions in
any dimension or substantial alterations. The conditions must also provide for future
relocation of dwelling units, where feasible, to other locations, meeting all setback and
elevation requirements when they are rebuilt or replaced.
(4) Existing dwelling unit or dwelling site densities that exceed standards
in this part may be allowed to continue but must not be allowed to be increased, either at
Copyright 02009 by the Revisor of Statutes. State of Minnesota. All Rights Reserved.
7 REVISOR 6120.3800
the time of conversion or in the future. Efforts must be made during the conversion to
limit impacts of high densities by requiring seasonal use, improving vegetative screening,
centralizing shore recreation facilities, installing new sewage treatment systems, or other
means.
Subp. 6. Commercial planned unit development density evaluation steps and
design criteria. The density evaluation steps and design criteria for commercial planned
unit developments are contained in items A and B:
A. Density evaluation steps:
(1) Determine the average inside living area size of dwelling units or sites
within each tier, including both existing and proposed units and sites. Computation of
inside living area sizes need not include decks, patios, stoops, steps, garages, or porches
and basements, unless they are habitable space.

*For average unit floor areas less than shown, use the floor area ratios listed for 200
square feet. For areas greater than shown, use the ratios listed for 1,500 square feet. For
recreational camping areas, use the ratios listed at 400 square feet. Manufactured home
sites in recreational camping areas shall use a ratio equal to the size of the manufactured
home, or if unknown, the ratio listed for 1,000 square feet.
(3) Multiply the useable area within each tier by the floor area ratio to yield
total floor area for each tier allowed to be used for dwelling units or sites.
(4) Divide the area computed in subitem (3) by the average determined in
subitem (1). This yields a base number of dwelling units and sites for each tier.
(5) Determine whether the project is eligible for any additional density
increases. To be eligible, projects must meet all of the design standards in item B, and
exceed one or more of them. The local unit of government may decide how much, if any,
increase in density to allow for each tier, but must not exceed the maximum allowable
density increases listed in the following table:

development of area S of 86th st
Importance: High
Hi,
I live on Rice Court in Chanhassen which backs up to the proposed development area called Preserve at Rice Lake. I am
concerned about what will happen to the pond area and the tree line between my place and this area. There is a lot of
wildlife in this area and do not want this to be affected. Also this will decrease the value of my home. The reason I
bought this place was because it backed up to a natural area. We CAN NOT destroy these areas.
I will not be able to make the Jan 15 meeting due to being out of the state.
Please let me know the plans for this area.
Thanks,
Karen

were not included, and Mr. Oehme I guess at that point we would certainly look to your thoughts and
opinions as to best course of action and for the reasons that you see most appropriate so with that I am
comfortable moving forward, as we have discussed this evening and would certainly entertain a motion at
this time. Councilman Laufenburger.
Councilman Laufenburger: Mr. Mayor, I move that.
Mayor Furlong: Oh, you can second it if you want to.
Councilman McDonald: I'll second it.
Mayor Furlong: Why don't we have him make it first and then you can second it. It's a point of order
thing.
Councilman Laufenburger: Thank you Mr. Mayor. I move that the City Council orders preparation of
plans and specifications for the 2013 Street Improvement Project 13-10-2 Melody Hill area.
Councilman McDonald: I'll second.
Mayor Furlong: Mr. McDonald, thank you. Motion's been made and seconded. And I think that's with
the understanding of the additional information that we've requested. Any thoughts or comments or
discussion on the motion? I will have one comment because I forgot to say it, thank you to the residents
that came this evening and spoke to us. For those that sent the emails with their questions and thank you
to staff for getting us those comments as well. There were some others in the packet and for everybody
that came out to the open house, we appreciate you coming and getting involved and helping whatever
happens here or doesn't happen here, make sure that it's the right thing to do. So with that if there's no
other comments, we'll proceed with the vote.
Resolution #2013-05: Councilman Laufenburger moved, Councilman McDonald seconded that the
City Council orders the preparation of plans and specifications for the 2013 Street Improvement
Project 13-01-2, Melody Hill area. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a
vote of 5 to 0.

JOHN KNOBLAUCH: REQUEST FOR CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD)
FOR A 15 LOT SINGLE FAMH.Y DEVELOPMENT ON 13.2 ACRES OF PROPERTY
CURRENTLY ZONED RSF-SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND R4 -MIXED LOW
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
Kate Aanenson: Thank you Mayor, members of the City Council. The application, as you mentioned is
from Mr. Knoblauch. Preserve at Rice Marsh. This item, the applicant did hold a neighborhood meeting
back in January 12'h and then on Tuesday, January 15"' the Planning Commission held a public hearing.
This is our second experience in our new revised PUD process. As we go through it we did a detailed
report as we do to again to set the course of action not only for what the staff will be reviewing but also to
put the applicant on notice of the regulatory things that they must follow to go through that. Again the
PUD concept has no legal standing but again in good faith we're trying to give the direction to the
applicant to the right course of action. As his application was submitted has gone through several
iterations and I think we finally arrived at what we believe, the staff believes is the right course. At the
Planning Commission hearing on January 15'h they also concurred that they think the direction that we're
going to recommend, had recommended is also the right course and while there's a lot of details in the
staff report, I'll go through the power point I think to kind of explain kind of the history of this property.

Chanhassen City Council — January 28, 2013
So again this property gets access off of West 86th Street. This property here. The Mission Hills piece
was actually guided for mixed use and this property here is still vacant but the access then would come
through the Mission Hills, which is a medium density.
Mayor Furlong: Excuse me Ms. Aanenson, are you looking at something on your screen?
Kate Aanenson: Oh I'm sorry. Paul turned it off. I'm song, Paul turned it off. Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Now it'll be easier for us to follow.
Kate Aanenson: That's right, I'm looking at something.
Mayor Furlong: Yeah, and I'm sure it was exactly what you were talking about.
Kate Aanenson: Paul and 1 need to work out our buddy system. So anyway so yeah, we get so this
property is vacant and then coming off of West 86th Street getting access to the property so this piece is
actually surrounded by a couple different land uses. We've got large lot coming off of Tigua Lane and
then also the Marsh Glen neighborhood that comes, has direct access with a right out onto 101. So this
area was able to develop before we did the realignment of 101 so all access was gained there and some of
it's changed now with the 212, and I'll go through that in a minute. Existing land use is actually guided
for low density and the low density allows for I to 4 units an acre. And the zoning on the site is actually
dual guided. Dual zones. Actually it's low density, so that would allow twinhomes and then single family
residential for single family development. The complexity comes in on this piece of property, this site
looking at it in 2005 prior to 212 being built. You can see the Mission Hills was put in place. The large
lots on Tigua were in place and then the Marsh Glen neighborhood. This was all one piece with the
original farmstead here and then you see with the development of the 212 it actually moved that property
and cut it in half. So you ended up with the parcel split as such so now you have this piece. The pedimus
to this piece are that the existing conditions are that the parcel, you know the 212 segment. What you
could have balanced on the site was less, with less flexibility. It's within the shoreland district of Rice
Marsh Lake which is 1,000 feet. While it's not riparian lots it does still fall within the shoreland district.
There are wetlands on the site, which you can see here. And then just to point out again the DNR has
jurisdiction over the, for doing a PUD and our ordinance just for the PUD section of the shoreland regs
would go through the DNR so whatever approval we would give is still subject to their jurisdictional
review. This is a buildable parcel. Access would be gained via West 86h Street. There was residents at
the Planning Commission meeting and we did attach some of their emails that came through that were
concerned about this and the layout as proposed, we didn't spend a lot of time reviewing the layout, and
I'll go through that in a minute but really the goal here is to decide what the appropriate course of action
would be. The closest home, proposed home on this proposed plat would be within 250 feet of the closest
home here or the existing home here. So this is all a buildable area. Access would come through this
wetland. Some of the neighbors at the Planning Commission asked that the road be moved over but that
impacts the wetland more. We're actually kind of going through the existing part of the property that
there's a conveyance. The issue with the low density zoning district, as our ordinance moved forward,
it's more prescriptive in the minimum lot size and the minimum lot width so because the applicant is
desiring to do a low density development, as you can see here. So with the shoreland district, low density
is prescriptive in the lot width requirements and so in order to accommodate the single family detached,
what we do believe is, what the applicant wants to do and we do believe is a desirable use for this site as
opposed to the twinhomes, that we would have to actually upzone the property. Go to a medium density
to allow the flexibility of the minimum lot size and still stay within that range. And having said that, you
have to meet the minimum 4 units an acre in order to qualify for that so that would mean to get to the 16
homes, which we believe can be accomplished.

Chanhassen City Council — January 28, 2013
Mayor Furlong: Ms. Aanenson?
Kate Aanenson: Yes.
Mayor Furlong: Question for you on the, if you go back to the last slide. What's that shaded area?
Kate Aanenson: I'm sorry, I'm going the other way.
Mayor Furlong: Other way.
Kate Aanenson: Can you move it back? One more. Go the other way.
Mayor Furlong: Yeah, the shaded area there, you said that's the.
Kate Aanenson: That's the shoreland district.
Mayor Furlong: Shoreline district. And what's the distance, is that the distance from the shore of the
lake?
Kate Aanenson: 1,000 feet from the ordinary high water mark
Mayor Furlong: 1,000 feet, so that's quite a distance.
Kate Aanenson: Yep. Yeah, there's actually tiers within the, the first tier within the shoreland district
doesn't fall on this property. The first tier would be somewhere in this area here. The way the DNR has
the shoreland regs set up under that is their goal is to try to transfer that density. Our ordinance under the
low density can't accommodate that.
Mayor Furlong: Can or cannot?
Kate Aanenson: Cannot. We don't have that tool put in place the way our ordinance, the rules that we
have in place in our low density single family which is why we're recommending going to the medium
density zoning district. Did I answer that question?
Mayor Furlong: Nope and that's fine. Let's keep going. I'll have other questions after.
Kate Aanenson: So again when we're looking at the zoning district and what would be appropriate
application we always ask the developer what's their desire for housing on the site to make sure it can
accommodate because our goal is always to make sure, when we have a resident on a piece of property
that the lot size is big enough to accommodate needs in the future, whether it be a patio. Some additional
things that they may want to put out in their yard. A storage barn or the like, we want to make sure the
lots are big enough. In this circumstance the applicant is a little bit challenged on some of those and
that's where we want to make sure, we didn't give a lot of review to the proposed site plan because we
believe that moderations or modifications can be made going to lower density which allow a little bit
smaller lot size. For example in the PUD would allow for the 50 foot right-of-way. As such so this area
here would be, this right-of-way would be 50 feet. It also allows for the 5 and the 10 foot side yard
setbacks, which we have used in other medium density, and then allowing the lots to go smaller. There is
no minimum lot size but would be dictated by the home size that the applicant has demonstrated so while
we haven't actually done through the details on all of these lots, we do believe that these 16 lots can be
accommodated with modifications. Again this isn't showing you the wetland buffer. We do allow
averaging for the buffering. There is some anomalies on the site. And while you showed this colored
32
Chanhassen City Council — January 28, 2013
drawing, 1 just want to show it for the illustrative showing the wetland and the buffering. These can be
averaged to make sure that we do have enough lot area but that's the goal we want to make sure a future
resident has a big enough lot area to accommodate future needs for expansion and livability of their site.
Mayor Furlong: Could you expound upon that a little bit?
Kate Aanenson: Sure. You have a building envelope on every lot. The PUD allows you to take, to
accommodate some of this other open space to, for your green space area. But having said that you still
need to have a building envelope that allows some expansion, whether it be a deck, a yard barn, a swing
set, a dog run, those sort of things that you're outside of the buffer wetland requirement setbacks. Again
that would be under the DNR's jurisdiction to find where those are but based on our ordinance we can
average some of this buffering to make that work. Again the goal, trying to match both goals, what we
believe for the land use, which we said before, low density. It meets that but because our PUD ordinance
doesn't match the DNR regulations we need to change it to a medium density. Still allowing for that
single family and the low end of the medium density, as I mentioned before, is 4 units an acre and that
would accomplish this and we have to stay within that 4, which also under the low density the highest you
would go is 4 so we're still at that 4 units an acre. Again 50% of the site pretty much would be left in
open space and would accommodate that. We did put in the staff report other things that would need to
be accomplished with this project would also include a sound wall along Highway 5.
Councilman Laufenburger: 212.
Kate Aanenson: Excuse me, 212. Thank you. And then the trail connection. Yeah, that'd be a long
ways away. Yeah. So again trying to match the developer's goals and what the City had originally
envisioned on this which was a lower density single family, taking into account the separation of this
property by 212 and to allow for that so we would, we had recommended going to the medium density.
The concern that I think we talked about and shoreland staff, what if this project went away. Would you
want townhouses on there if you went with the medium density so we could always go back and go with
dual guiding which would say low or medium if this project did go away for whatever reasons. If another
project came back that would give you discretion of what land use you would want to pick so again we
believe under that PUD, you know the goal of the developer was you know trying to do a single family
detached. The City's goal is to save as many natural features on the site and following regulations with
the DNR. Again we have the discretion, the City has the discretion to amend the Comprehensive Plan.
We're still within that 4 units an acre, following with that single family detached we believe that meets
that what we're doing is trying to find the mechanism, the tool, the right track to allow this project to
proceed. So with that I'd be happy to answer any questions you have but we are recommending that the
process would be then if you give some direction the developer would then come back through. It does
require a land use amendment. Would have to come back through another public hearing. Meeting all
the requirements of the City's zoning ordinance, the DNR regulations, etc.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Questions for staff. Mr. McDonald.
Councilman McDonald: Okay I have a really dumb question but I've got to ask it. Can you put that map
back up there that shows the development again? Yeah, 1 think it's back. Yep, that one. Okay you said
that the DNR has some control over this because of shoreline and everything but yet where that's located
there's already houses above it. Why would, what's the problem because?
Kate Aanenson: Can you go back to the shoreland, go back one more. It's this one right here. Yeah, the
shoreland district itself when you're doing a PUD, they have jurisdiction. We have a shoreland ordinance
in our code. We do it for the PUD within the shoreland district they felt that we didn't address it so
they're within 1,000 feet of Rice Marsh, which is where this line here is. There's jurisdiction by the DNR
33
A
Chanhassen City Council — January 28, 2013
with what happens in there and really their goal under that is really to transfer things out and so if it was
their goal it would be more of a multi -family potential project and outside that first tier, which they're
outside of but they would cluster that.
Mayor Furlong: When you say, they would like development outside of the shaded area?
Kate Aanenson: Every tier you go outside of you can transfer density, which is what we're doing. We're
keeping it at a lower scale so we're meeting those criteria by making the smaller lots, and that's their goal
is to have more in preservation.
Councilman McDonald: Okay so we're putting more units per acre.
Kate Aanenson: We're really not. We're actually doing the same project the developer had, we just have
to up zone it because our ordinance under the low density is prescriptive as far as 90 foot of frontage,
15,000 square feet. In the medium density our ordinance allows you to go to, there's the freedom to
decide what lot size you need so what we ask the applicant to say is, what house size were you doing?
We want to make sure the lot matches the desired house size and that we have a reasonable lot size to
match the house and what a resident's expectations would be.
Councilman McDonald: Okay, and that would come in with the 25% impervious surface to make sure.
Kate Aanenson: Yep, it's actually would be 30% but you can account for that with all of the other, that's
the other thing with the PUD, what's being preserved in the upland area. Anything else that would be in
the upland area which there is some areas that are left out would be counted towards that.
Councilman McDonald: Okay, and then because this is within 1,000 feet and the other developments
also, what problems did we have with those developments? Was there anything special that happened
there with the?
Kate Aanenson: It only comes into place when you're doing this, in this circumstance, the PUD.
Councilman McDonald: Oh okay. So it didn't come into effect in the other developments.
Kate Aanenson: Yes, if we go back and look what we did on the south side of the Lennar project on Lake
Riley, those first lots that were adjacent to Lake Riley actually fell within the shoreland district there.
They did an RLM zoning district. What the RLM says you also have to preserve something so they
created a park and they also preserved some additional property in order to accommodate or to secure the
RLM zoning district? They met the intent of our ordinance which is what this property is trying to do.
Councilman McDonald: Okay, and then.
Kate Aanenson: So what they did then is those lots that fell within the shoreland district, by that zoning
district had to meet the 90 foot of frontage and 15,000 square feet. Then the rest of the lots could go
smaller under the RLM zoning district. In this circumstance, because the street right-of-way, we want to
try to pinch that through the wetlands and some of those other things under the PUD ordinance which this
allows us to do, to get the 50 foot of right-of-way, our ordinance allows you to go to a 5 and 10 foot
setback on the sides and also a 25 foot front yard setbacks so it's built in the flexibility, which we've
applied in other zoning districts to make it buildable so what we've done is created a zoning district to
still get the same product that the applicant wanted. A 16 lot subdivision.
Councilman McDonald: Okay
34
Chanhassen City Council —January 28, 2013
Todd Gerhardt: Mayor, council, as you look at this slide, don't look at it as wherever it's shaded light
green you can't develop in that area. What the shading is telling you, anything within that area has to
follow the shoreland district regulations so you can still develop. You can put homes in there. You just
need to meet the setbacks that were established in that shoreland district. It's not that you can't develop
in that area, you just need to meet those requirements and that's where Kate will show you the slide with
the multi -colors shows you those different setbacks.
Kate Aanenson: Right. So those are the buffer areas around the wetlands and so you can see, again this
isn't the project that's going. We've seen numerous iterations so I don't want anybody to be hung up on
any particular project. It's going to meet our ordinance but this is just for illustrative purposes to show
you that some of these lots have bigger rear yards. Some of them have less so you can average some of
the buffering which our ordinance allows but what we're recommending and challenging is that we want
to make sure those lots work and provide adequate rear yards for somebody into the future, which we
believe through the tweaking of the development, oops. As shown here on this one. This one has 16 with
some minor tweaks to this one we believe that project will meet the original intent to get 16 lots. We just
needed to change the, the zoning on it. In order to change the zoning we needed to change the land use
designation.
Councilman McDonald: Okay so impervious surface then, because it's a PUD, we can average that
across the entire development.
Kate Aanenson: Exactly.
Todd Gerhardt: And Mayor, council, that would allow each of the lots to put a deck in the back yard. If
somebody wanted to put an accessory building in the back yard. A pool, we'd have to work with. That's
going to be a little tough.
Councilman McDonald: It'd fill itself
Todd Gerhardt: Yeah, and but from staff's perspective you could do this under a single family
development. If you went with a twin home development, more than likely you probably wouldn't see
the accessory buildings in the back yard. You don't see the variety in decks or play structures usually
with a twin home development and your setbacks are a little different with twin homes. You probably see
more density here than what's being proposed with the twin home so staff is asking for direction from
council if they prefer to see single family development versus more of a twin home, townhouse type.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Councilman McDonald: Thank you for answering the question. At least that explained that part of it so
thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any other questions for staff at this time? Mr. Laufenburger.
Councilman Laufenburger: Thank you Mr. Mayor. Kate, could you talk a little bit about why the road is
in this, or why the access point off 8e is here versus what appears to be a shorter distance.
Mayor Furlong: Off the curve?
Councilman Laufenburger: Yeah, off the curve where the red car is.
Chanhassen City Council — January 28, 2013
Kate Aanenson: Sure,
Councilman Laufenburger: Can you just speak to that a little bit.
Kate Aanenson: Yes, in reviewing that, you're coming through a larger segment of the wetland. All this
area here is actual, is wetland. Coming through here you're actually coming through an area that's not a
wetland so less impacts to the wetland.
Councilman Laufenburger: So it would impact the wetland less?
Kate Aanenson: That's correct.
Councilman Laufenburger: So there would still be wetland adjustments that would have to be made, is
that correct?
Kate Aanenson: Yes, right. And what we're recommending and the feedback we've got from the DNR is
the only impacts to this site for wetlands would be for the road itself and that would be one place and then
maybe up in here would be the only other place would be impacts to wetlands for roads. A cul-de-sac.
Councilman Laufenburger: Okay. The second question relates to the DNR. The way you explained it
earlier on you said that the DNR kind of has trumping authority over this. Can you just explain that a
little bit. What jurisdiction, if the council says yep, this looks like a pretty good plan with this concept
PUD. Let's go to the next step. What role does the DNR play and what could, how might they act?
Kate Aanenson: Good question. As with any other project we always send it out for jurisdictional
review. Whether it would be, under this circumstance MnDOT because it's adjacent to 212. And then
because our PUD ordinance is, doesn't address some of these issues with the single family part of it, the
DNR does have jurisdiction on that and under the shoreland regulations so when we get a project that,
meets our city ordinance then we'll send it out. When it comes in for an application for jurisdictional
review. At the same time we would send it up to the Met Council for, get their comments on a land use
amendment.
Councilman Laufenburger: Okay, and do we have any history of what happens when we submit these for
other jurisdictional review?
Kate Aanenson: Yes, we've actually sat down, well actually we've had numerous phone conversations to
make sure that we're in alignment. We don't want to go down a course of action that we believe is not
going to go anywhere so we believe that we're meeting the intent of what the DNR is trying to do and we
also believe that the land use amendment is keeping with the spirit of the underlying zoning district that
we had before which is single family detached housing.
Councilman Laufenburger: Okay, thank you Kate. Thank you Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any other questions? If not, Mr. Knoblauch, the applicant is here this
evening. Good evening Mr. Knoblauch.
John Knoblauch: Good evening Mayor, council. I'm John Knoblauch, 1450 Knob Hill Lane,
Chanhassen, Minnesota. Proposing a 16 lot development on the Klingelhutz parcel north of 212. This,
can we go back to the other drawing there with the, this is the most recent sketch if you will that we've
come up with. My engineer, this is the actually the eleventh drawing that he's made. We've actually
been, had 6 different small, short meetings with Terry from engineering staff to try to address these
36
Chanhassen City Council — January 28, 2013
wetlands and buffers as best as possible to present a plan that will meet or exceed any ordinances or DNR
issues. We think this recent drawing is a very nice drawing for single family for this parcel. It addresses,
the lot sizes in this drawing are all over 10,000 square feet. Right now in Shakopee I've been building on
8,900 to 9,400 with this same house plan. This drawing also does show 8 foot setbacks on the garage side
instead of 5. I'm really not a big fan of 5 foot garage side yard setbacks. Just for getting your mower into
the back yard. If you have any edging or anything like that. I don't foresee this property, I definitely
would develop some pretty serious covenants for these neighbors and address issues like possible pools. 1
don't see problems with these homes, I don't this price range probably not going to see a lot of pool
issues I don't think but as far as decks, we have drawn some decks on these proposed house pads. We are
definitely seeing smaller decks in the marketplace right now. Basically a grilling deck, some chairs and
so forth. We're not seeing the monster decks of the 80's and 70's on the back of homes. A lot of decks
people prefer them actually now not blocking windows in the back of the homes. We're doing a lot of
decks behind the garage which has become very popular so people have better view out the back. I do
plan to, I know that there'll be a landscaping plan in the event that this concept plan came forward down
the line in front of your desks but I am proposing a tree plan that will be very extensive. There's a
number of cedar trees east of the tree line in the middle of the property that I would propose to hopefully
be able to be moved. 1 think there's about 30 or 40 of them. We'd like to heavily tree the perimeter.
This whole property. And obviously along MnDOT's or the property line that abuts MnDOT's line. Alsc
leave the open space to the east, which would be a nice setting in the back of the homes to the end of the
cul-de-sac. And as far as the buffers go, yeah we would definitely be looking at some kind of wildflower
plantings in all the buffer areas and feel that we can address that with the homeowners to make sure
there's obviously signage restrictions and to keep people out of those areas. So we're asking for you to
look hard at this medium density proposal. This property's 13.2 acres. We're only proposing 4, is it 4?
Kate Aanenson: Yeah, less than half
John Knoblauch: Yeah, less than half to go into development for these lots and feel it's the best use for
this parcel. Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Questions for Mr. Knoblauch. Mr. McDonald.
Councilman McDonald: Ms. Aanenson mentioned something way back when about a sound wall. What
are you proposing to put up? Similar to what MnDOT put up you know for the rest of the development or
something else?
John Knoblauch: Yeah, right now to the southwest comer of this parcel the townhome sound wall ends
right at the property line. It's a, and it's about a 7 foot tall for maybe 20-30 feet at that point. We're
proposing from, to connect to that and have an 8 foot sound wall on top of the berms. There's two berms.
Very, very large berm that's on the south side and then those, the treed berm to the southeast. We're
propose an 8 foot sound wall across both those berms. Unfortunately we've got a pretty deep hole where
that one wetland area touches. It doesn't actually a wetland area. It doesn't go into MnDOT property
very much. Unfortunately there would be about a 20 foot sound wall to patch that hole and connect the
two berms. And we are proposing that that would be straight across hopefully as long as MnDOT would
allow that. I've been told by one of the MnDOT staff they would allow up to 20 feet there.
Councilman McDonald: Okay, so the wall would be 20 feet high at that one spot.
John Knoblauch: It's about 60 feet, 20 feet wide. Or 20 feet high and then it's 1,150 foot wall from tip to
tip. And there's about 60 feet of it only that would be the high wall. Most of it would be that 8 foot.
Now we haven't done a formal, well there was a preliminary noise study done by a previous, well actually
I don't think they went to, they didn't get an, they actually did some previous studies last year on this and
37
Chanhassen City Council —January 28, 2013
they were proposing a 6 foot wall which put the top of the walls at about 3 feet below soffit heights of
those homes. We've actually checked a lot of elevations out there to make sure because I developed, I
built some homes in Shakopee and to my dismay the developer did not put in a sound wall and it was
incredibly disappointing and so we had a lot of sound problems. We were on the south side of the road,
which is even worst when you got the wind direction, our dominant winds coming from the northwest.
This parcel being on the north side will help but the 8 foot wall will definitely work well. The berm and
the 8 foot wall, we'll have a 921, I'm sorry 923 elevation and the pond, the bottom of that pond to the
right is at 896 so we feel that we give a lot of noise protection to the whole area, not just these homes.
Councilman McDonald: So you'll have a consistent height then tying in with the sound wall that's by the
townhomes and everything going across. And will that be at the same height as that other wall or will it
be a couple feet below it?
John Knoblauch: The existing townhome wall right now where we have connected is at 7 foot for maybe
20 feet. Then it goes to 8 and then it gets higher but they're not on quite as much a berm as this berm that
was built here so.
Kate Aanenson: If I may, they're going to do a noise study. We've got one kind of and so we'll look at
that. Whether or not it needs to be a certain height in certain areas. We'll look at that. There's ways to
modify it. We had to do it on the other side of the with the Lennar project on Reflections. There was
some modification made there so we'll look at that to see what needs to be done to make it work and there
might be some flexibility in certain parts but again the goal is to provide the noise mitigation, which is
what Mr. Knoblauch wants to do so.
John Knoblauch: Yeah I would mention that Lennar cut their wall short and only has chain link and
they've got direct sound coming right from 101 intersection and northwest wind blows right into that
neighborhood. This would be much more protection than what they've got.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, other questions for Mr. Knoblauch? Councilwoman Ernst.
Councilwoman Ernst: Couple questions. Can you, so these homes are going to be 1,500 square feet, is
that correct? On an average.
John Knoblauch: The home that's been sketched on about over half the lots actually is a two story home
and it's about 1,400 square foot per level there so that's a 2,800 square foot two story. 1 believe originally
I told staff that we would be hoping in that 2,500 to 3,000 square foot, two story home range. The garage,
actually the drawings that you have are actually over sized by 2 feet from what I normally do. Those are
30 foot garage drawings. Just in case someone wanted a 9 foot, third stall door so I've drawn them 2 feet
bigger than in this sketch here than 1 normally have built before on a 28 foot wide garage. We built a
garage like this a lot where there's a little bit of room for storage in the back, either work bench and so
forth so that's why the bump back area there 4 feet in the back, but no these would be two story homes
mostly because you know we're proposing a 52 to 54 foot pad and as a result ramblers a little tougher to
work with. Not a lot of curb appeal unfortunately in a 54 foot rambler but we wouldn't say that we
wouldn't build any ramblers but chances are it'd be mostly two stories.
Councilwoman Ernst: Okay and you mentioned the price range. Can you give me an idea of what the
price range would, is going to be? It may have been in your report Kate but I didn't get through the
whole thing so.
38
Chanhassen City Council — January 28, 2013
John Knoblauch: Total of the home and lot package that would go in this neighborhood for instance
would be probably similar to across the street at Lennar or your other projects, Pioneer Pass and LDK's
project. Be very similar. $400,000 to $500,000 I would say total package.
Councilwoman Ernst: Okay. And Kate, I have a question for you. So when we originally talked about
PUD's 1 thought that the requirement was that they had to have a 30 foot setback but it sounds like.
Kate Aanenson: Nope, our PUD ordinance, it's in the findings, our PUD ordinance does allow the
flexibility to go to do the narrower side yards and then it also allows you, under the PUD, to do a 25 foot
front yard setback.
Councilwoman Ernst: Okay. So this one is intended to be a 25?
Kate Aanenson: Correct.
John Knoblauch: That's correct. The new drawing, the last drawing that was up there shows 25 the front
yard setback and by the way just to mention patios and decks again, we are again seeing very small decks.
We're seeing a lot of patio, free standing patios. Fire pits. We're not seeing the old style patios as much
in the last 5 to 10 years so we presume that will be, follow through in this development if this went
forward.
Councilwoman Ernst: Okay, thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Mr. Laufenburger, questions.
Councilman Laufenburger: Yeah thank you Mr. Mayor. Mr. Knoblauch, nice to have you here tonight.
We always like to consider developments in the community. What's the length of the road from 86th to
the end of the cul-de-sac, do you know?
John Knoblauch: You know I don't. I know that.
Councilman Laufenburger: Maybe Kate knows.
Kate Aanenson: It's over 800 feet which is our normal.
Councilman Laufenburger: It's over 800 feet.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah.
John Knoblauch: It's going to be over the, yeah I think it's 1,300.
Councilman Laufenburger: Okay. Okay.
John Knoblauch: And this path, as you can see, the dark line on the bottom is a sidewalk proposal. 5 foot
sidewalk and I believe the park, Todd might be able to, they're looking for a I think an 8 foot blacktop
path from, coming off the cul-de-sac to service into the Rice Lake trail connection.
Councilman Laufenburger: I noticed that too and that was my next comment so the plan would be, you
would provide, you would build that trail connection to the Rice Lake Marsh trail, is that correct?
39
Chanhassen City Council — January 28, 2013
John Knoblauch: Yeah, my understanding with Todd was that 1 was providing the concrete sidewalk but
there was budget allowed in the Rice Marsh trail to pay for the blacktopping as long as I think we prepped
it to pay for the blacktopping to get to the MnDOT parcel.
Councilman Laufenburger: Okay, well I'm sure you can work that out but I'm pleased to see that there's
a connection there. Do you have any room for any kind of a, any kind of an outlot like a central park
area. I noticed that this, the closest park would be a mile away which exceeds our Comprehensive Plan so
do you have any thoughts or any plans for any kind of an outlot?
John Knoblauch: Not on this parcel. You know unfortunately with, there's just not a lot of high ground
with the 5 or 6 wetlands and so you know staff has said you know we really need to be very restrictive
and.
Councilman Laufenburger: So this is part of the covenants that you're planning to have in place for the
homeowners?
John Knoblauch: No, not necessarily. I'm just saying that the wetlands are very restrictive as far as
having some other open. There is an open area outlot.
Kate Aanenson: Outlot A, yeah.
John Knoblauch: To the east. That was at least my impression from the parks department %N as that was
going to be open space left open.
Kate Aanenson: So that's all this area here.
John Knoblauch: And as far as parks go, I really see these folks heavily using this 3 mile Rice Lake trail.
You know I understand that there's a distance from over, is it a mile? From the nearest park but I see this
being very desirable for a walker or a hiker that would want to go around that whole marsh which is going
to be a very neat trail for the city.
Councilman Laufenburger: Sure, okay. Thank you Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. I guess to follow up Mr. Hoffman too, parks or access for the other homes
in the neighbor, in the adjoining neighborhoods. Typically what parks they use with the trail system I
guess, they can get over to Lake Susan or up to Rice Marsh.
Todd Hoffman: Yeah the closest city parks are Lake Susan Park and then Rice Marsh Lake Park.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Todd Hoffman: But as the crow flies it's about a half mile so this neighborhood would fit within that
neighborhood park service area but once you get on the city trail system to get there it's just about a mile.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. With this connection for these homes and we're actually looking at the Rice
Marsh trail connection which is I think further north of here, that's going to provide better access for all
these, for everyone that lives in these areas.
Todd Hoffman: It will.
Mayor Furlong: Either one

Chanhassen City Council — January 28, 2013
Todd Hoffman: To have connection to that 3 mile trail loop, like Mr. Knoblauch said is going to be a
tremendous valuable connection. Recreational amenity to these neighbors.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Mr. Knoblauch, just a couple questions. I think we clarified here with
Councilwoman Ernst that you're looking at probably 2,800 square feet on average for the homes, the two
story homes. The 10,000 foot lots. Is it your sense that with the current guiding or zoning of low density,
Kate's saying, Ms. Aanenson's saying let's use the PUD. Let's move it to medium density to give us the
flexibility. Is that, are you in agreement with that? Is that something that you think makes sense for what
you're trying to accomplish here?
John Knoblauch: Well the neat thing that that does, it brings the lot size down but it definitely gives more
protection to the wetlands which you know I'm a big duck hunter so obviously wetlands are important in
my book but I think that's the important thing is it pulls those lots, I mean we could make 12,000 square
foot lots and have these people out dabbling in these areas but it wouldn't meet the, the medium density
drives us to bring those lot lines back so that we keep those people out of those areas in my opinion and
they enjoy the view. They don't, out there not mowing around and it also gives the city a lot of flexibility
in my opinion, because of the drainage on the north side of the property, in the springtime you get some
drainage through there and that will keep people from disrupting that possibility too.
Mayor Furlong: So with, and maybe back and forth between Mr. Knoblauch and Ms. Aanenson, so with
the suggestion of going to a medium density with the PUD, is that going to accomplish what you were
asking for in terms of the use of the lots or the expected use of the lots for these sized homes and these
size lots?
Kate Aanenson: Correct. So we're meeting the desire of the developer to do single family.
Mayor Furlong: Yep.
Kate Aanenson: It gives the right tool to allow for the smaller lot by up zoning so I think we, and
preservation so it really is kind of a.
Mayor Furlong: So it meets everybody's objective.
Kate Aanenson: Exactly, everybody's objectives.
Mayor Furlong: And goals. Okay. Alright. Okay, very good. Thank you. Any other questions for Mr.
Knoblauch? Very good, thanks.
John Knoblauch: Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: 1 know there was a public hearing at the Planning Commission. 1 don't know if there's
anyone here that would like to provide public comments but if there's anyone, we have read the Minutes
of the Planning Commission meeting but if you'd like to provide some comments, we'd be happy to
listen. Good evening.
Carol Lahto: Hi. My name's Carol Lahto. I live at 8591 Tigua Lane, so we are the green roofed house
there at the end.
Kate Aanenson: This one?
41
Chanhassen City Council—January 28, 2013
Carol Lahto: Yep. That's us.
Kate Aanenson: Okay.
Carol Lahto: As far as the development, l understand that this property will be developed by somebody.
With that said I would suggest doing single family homes. I think at the meeting two weeks ago other
people who lived in the townhouse development were here and some of their concerns were traffic. You
know when and if you have a bunch of twin homes, sorry. I'm nervous, can you tell?
Mayor Furlong: That's okay. You're doing fine. You're doing fine.
Carol Lahto: There'll be more you know cars, more people in that area. One concern I do have is that by
our driveway, 2 years ago we had a lot of rain and we actually had water coming up from that wetland.
Enough that I thought we need flood insurance because it was creeping up so it's just one of the concerns
I have with development, to make sure that you think about drainage and take that into consideration.
Mayor Furlong: And could you just clarify. Maybe the driveway goes under the trees there. Do you
share a driveway with the house to the west there?
Carol Lahto: Yeah. It goes out and then it goes into the corner. Kind of that open spot.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Carol Lahto: So that would be one of my concerns.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, Okay. And I guess then the question would be.
Kate Aanenson: We'll check that but there is a storm water pond being proposed in that area so we'll
make sure we include that in the calculations to accommodate.
Mayor Furlong: Can you show where that is?
Kate Aanenson: Yeah. There's a proposed storm water pond right here. So right now it'sjust sheet
flowing that way so we would look at that and make sure that, in the analysis of this project that we make
sure we look at what's coming this way to your property and they have to maintain that on their property.
Carol Lahto: Okay.
Mayor Furlong: And the water flows towards the lake here so it flows to the northwest?
Kate Aanenson: Yes, exactly. So we'd make sure that this pond is, proposed pond is sized appropriately
so it's not going towards their property.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. I'm sorry.
Councilman Laufenburger: Carol, that's your own private driveway, is that correct? So you maintain
from 86"', the road that goes past the home to your house, that's a private road, is that correct?
Carol Lahto: Yes.
Councilman Laufenburger: Okay. Thank you.
42
Chanhassen City Council — January 28, 2013
Kate Aanenson: And I would say too, just to remind everybody that's listening to this that this project
would come back for another complete public hearing so we'll make sure that, you know if we haven't
answered that, please make sure that you ask that again and all those questions are addressed as far as we
would with any other subdivision.
Carol Lahto: Okay, thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Alright, thank you.
Steve Lahto: I'm Steve Lahto and I happen to live with Carol at 8591 Tigua. One question I had Mr.
Mayor and council, is the proposed change from low to medium density, would that mean if this
particular plan were to fall through that two plots of land which are now zoned differently would now
share the same zoning and therefore be able to have townhomes or twin homes on both of those properties
where now it's just zoned for single family?
Mayor Furlong: Ms. Aanenson.
Kate Aanenson: That's a good question. I had to train the city attorney, Mr. Knutson on this issue but I
think I was the first one to kind of recommend dual guiding and that's what we were suggesting on this
one. That we'd actually still dual guide it. Keep it low density so if this project was to go away, this
could would have the discretion, let's say we rezoned it or re -guided it and then the developer chose
sometime down the future not to execute, then that project went away, another project would have to
come back through the process and at that time this council would have the discretion to say you know
what, we still want to keep it low density or change their mind and not have to go with 8 units per acre
project.
Steve Lahto: Excellent, thank you.
Mayor Furlong: So provides flexibility and we're not making any decision for guiding tonight, correct?
Kate Aanenson: Well you're going to give them a recommendation.
Mayor Furlong: We're going to provide comments and recommendations on whether it's something we
would consider or not.
Kate Aanenson: Correct. At the next go around.
Mayor Furlong: At the next go around, correct. Okay. Alright, thank you. Appreciate those comments
and questions. Let's bring it back to council for thoughts and discussion.
Councilman Laufenburger. I'll start.
Mayor Furlong: Councilman Laufenburger.
Councilman Laufenburger: Mr. Mayor, I can and I would support this project.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Other thoughts and comments.
Councilwoman Tjomhom: I think ditto.

Chanhassen City Council — January 28, 2013
Mayor Furlong: Okay
Councilwoman Tjomhom: You know there's not much, I think this has been a really good process.
There were discussions in work session and now just having a relaxed, informal conversation about the
vision for this parcel, right?
Kate Aanenson: Yes.
Councilwoman Tjomhom: And how things could work or what some of the potential hazards could be.
You know a lot of times, 5 years ago we'd have a development come through and no deck was planned
and all of a sudden we had lots of problems with everyone wanting a deck or patio and it wasn't going to
work and so I think we've learned a lot from history and I think this has been a very positive experience I
think for council and hopefully the residents and the developer, just to see if it's something that really is
workable and so I too would support it coming back and seeing what they have in mind for the next
phase.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Great, thank you. Other thoughts? Councilwoman Ernst.
Councilwoman Ernst: Yeah, and I really want to compliment Kate on all the challenges and you spent a
lot of time on this project in working through many different challenges and scenarios. I would support
this project. I think it's a good project and I want to make sure we do address the storm water issue, the
drainage issue and with that yeah, I would support the project.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Mr. McDonald, thoughts.
Councilman McDonald: I too would support the project. I'm just trying to be brief.
Mayor Furlong: And everybody is. It must be getting late because you all are never this brief but, so I'll
take up your time. Thanks for yielding as they say on the Senate. No I think there's been a lot of
challenges and Mr. Knoblauch thank you for your efforts and I think you said this was iteration number
11 which says there's been a lot of work on everybody's side. Maybe too much work but this is a
challenging parcel and I think you know there were questions raised at the Planning Commission as far as
the location of the road. We talked about that tonight. Clearly this design makes the most sense as well.
I think working with a PUD makes a lot of sense so thank you for coming forward with that idea.
Looking at the dual guiding for medium provides the flexibility and really that's ultimately what I think to
summarize what makes it easy for all of us to support this continuing forward is what's happening here is
we're trying to seek the best way to accommodate the developer's goals and objectives. Staying within
the rules. Staying within the guidelines but where's that flexibility that meets their objectives while
meeting all the other requirements and so Mr. Knoblauch thank you for your efforts there working with
staff. Kate and others, thank you for all your efforts as well. I mean this is a challenging parcel to say the
least, but clearly it can support some development and it's fair to seek to, while keeping in mind the
natural features of the property, do it right and that's what 1 hear happening here so thank you everybody
for your efforts but I certainly would support this moving forward with the plan to look at the dual
guiding, the PUD and all the other tools that we have to try to get this done so thank you. Any other
questions or comments or questions from staff or Mr. Knoblauch for clarification? No?
Todd Gerhardt: Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Furlong: Mr. Gerhardt
hB
Chanhassen City Council —January 28, 2013
Todd Gerhardt: I thought Mr. Knoblauch was one of our planners or engineers as much time as he spent
at City Hall so I was surprised that he was the builder so, but Kate, Sharmeen, Terry, it would have been
really easy just to say there's just too many hurdles on this project and to walk away from it so you know
Kate and her staff just did a fantastic job of trying to figure out how to make this a successful project and
they did that so look forward to getting down and getting the details out there now and appreciate
everybody's efforts in making this work.
Mayor Furlong: No, I hear Mr. Knoblauch's a pretty good builder of homes so if we can get through the
development process I'm sure these will be 16 wonderful homes here as well so, very good. Thank you.
Thank you all for your comments. For those that spoke at the Planning Commission and we look forward
to seeing this back just as soon as it's ready. If there's nothing else we'll complete that item then and
move onto the next item.
TH 101 (LYMAN BOULEVARD TO PIONEER TRAH.) IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 12-06:
RESOLUTION APPROVING PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZING
ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS; APPROVE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH CARVER
COUNTY; AND APPROVE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH MNDOT.
Paul Oehme: Thank you Mayor, City Council members. I'd like to just briefly review, what we'd like to
talk about tonight. We're giving you a quick overview of the project itself. We'll talk about a little bit of
the construction and phasing and staging plans. Where we're at with right-of-way acquisitions on the
project. Estimated costs and financing, we'll run through that. And then project schedule and if there's
any questions at the end we'll be more than happy to try to answer that, those with, for you. Tonight Jon
Horn from Kimley-Horn and Associates is here. He was the engineer on the project and he can answer
some questions as well. So the purpose of the project, again the project is from reconstruction of
Highway 101 from Lyman Boulevard down to Pioneer Trail. It's about three-quarters of a mile roadway.
It's currently two lane, rural section roadway. We do have some documented traffic safety issues.
Running off the road type of crashes. Those type of things. Capacity issues are an issue right now and
currently moving forward with development, growth in the area that will increase and become a challenge
for this corridor. So with that, again the issues associated with 10 L Steep grades. Sharp curves.
Inadequate sight distances and blind intersections and then poor shoulders as well. With that, staff and
the City did receive federal funding for this project back in 2009. With that funding we were able to
partner with Carver County and MnDOT and plan for the future improvements of the roadway. The
proposed improvements are to reconstruct this section of roadway to 4 lane design, urban section,
including curb and gutter. Adjacent Lyman flatten out the curves and grades, basically making it to a
county roadway, current county roadway design standards. 40 miles an hour design. Adding turn lanes at
the intersections for public streets, at public streets. Stormwater drainage improvements are included in
the project. We have 3 that are proposed. Pedestrian and bike trail and underpass by Bandimere Park.
There's some Bandimere Park improvements that are associated with these improvements. I'll run
through that a little later and trunk watermain is also improved, proposed along the corridor on the west
side of 101. This is to facilitate future growth in the area. And then we'll also have some sanitary sewer
improvements, specifically on 96'h Street. The lift station and the force main that discharges out of that
area will be improved and reconstructed and then also a future stub for sanitary sewer to the Foxford
Road area as well. This is a drawing of what the proposed improvements are. To the right of your screen
is Lyman Boulevard. Currently that section of roadway just south of Lyman is 4 lane so the project limits
are about 400 feet south of there. Moving south, the intersection at Bandimere Park would be proposed to
be moved approximately 400 feet north to accommodate better sight lines, turn lanes and future park
improvements as well. Moving south from there, still a 4 lane design urban section, divided roadway.
There'd be a proposed underpass of 101 at this location and trail along the west side of 101 along the
corridor as well. The existing trail on the east side will be realigned through Bandimere Park and then
slightly as we move farther to the south as well. At Kiowa Trail intersection would have tum lanes, left

Sharmeen AI-Jaff and Kate Aanenson presented the staff report on this item. The applicant, John
Knoblauch, 1450 Knob Hill Lane, Excelsior addressed the challenges associated with working with this
parcel of land and asked that the Planning Commission change the zoning to medium density. Chairman
Aller opened the public hearing. Mary Muirhead, 424 Monk Court stated if she had her druthers the land
would never be developed and leaving it undeveloped helps her property value. If development is a
foregone conclusion then her biggest concern would be the location of the road. LuAnn Markgraf, 401
Rice Court, which is the last building and the closest townhouse to West 96h Street, commented on the
impact of the road entrance, wetlands, proximity to the townhouses, and traffic issues on 86th Street and
TH 101. Steve Lehto, 8591 Tigua Lane explained the impact this development will have on his property
which abuts the proposed project all the way to 86'h Street. Selfishly he would like to seethe property
never developed but if development is inevitable, then he would prefer to see the least amount of impact
as possible. Arturo Urrutia, 408 Monk Court stated he would like to second the comments by the
previous speaker. Chairman Aller closed the public hearing. After comments from commission
members, the following motion was made.
Tennyson moved, Hokkanen seconded that the Chanhassen Planning Commission provide the City
Council with comments and feedback, and direct the applicant to address issues raised in the staff
report dated January 15, 2013 along with staff's proposed comments listed in the staff report dated
January 15, 2013. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Hokkanen noted the verbatim and summary Minutes
of the Planning Commission meeting dated December 4, 2012 as presented.
COMMISSION PRESENTATIONS. None.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION UPDATE. Kate Aanenson provided updates on action taken by the City
Council at their January 14, 2013 meeting, reviewed the schedule of future Planning Commission
meetings, and informed the commission that Commissioner Kathleen Thomas will be resigning the end of
April.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — January 15, 2013
PUBLIC HEARING:
PRESERVE AT RICE LAKE: REQUEST FOR A CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT
DEVELOPMENT (PUD) FOR A 15 LOT SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT ON 13.2 ACRES
OF PROPERTY CURRENTLY ZONED RSF-SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND R4-
KNOBLAUCH. OWNER: CHESTNUT GROUP, LLC. PLANNING CASE 2013-02.
AI -Jaffa Good evening Chairman Aller, members of the Planning Commission. Before you is a request
for a concept planned unit development. The site has an area of 13.2 acres. It is located southwest of the
intersection of 869' Street. West 80h Street and Tigua Lane. Just briefly, this site was part of the parcel
located south of Highway 212 and with the construction of Highway 212 it was segmented into two
pieces. The 13 acres to the north and the remainder, I believe there were 60 acres to the south which were
developed by another developer as single family detached homes. So the remaining piece, the 13 acres
that is before you today, it is currently zoned, it's currently guided Residential Low Density which allows
for 1.2 to 4 units per acre. The westerly half of the site is currently zoned Single Family Residential
which permits attached as well as detached single family homes. The easterly portion is Mixed Low
Density which allows for townhomes. Some of the characteristics of this site include a complex of
different bodies of wetlands all along the northerly portion, the westerly portion, as well as a few along
the east side of the site. Highway 212, a four lane highway is located south of the subject site. The site
falls within the Shoreland Overlay District of Rice Marsh Lake. That entire area that is within 1,000 feet
of the ordinary high water mark of a lake is considered shoreland and it falls under specific regulations
that any development would have to adhere to. The buildable area on the site. What we attempted to do
wasjust look at the location of the wetlands and just highlight the buildable area on the site solely based
on the setback from the edge of the wetlands and what you see shaded in pink, that becomes the buildable
area of the site. What the applicant is proposing to do is build single family homes. If we look at, and
this plan was submitted by the applicant. The typical home that they intend to build will be 60 feet in
depth and will require 52 feet in width. When we have these homes on the proposed lots, some of the
house pads will encroach into required setbacks. Some of the homes don't meet width requirements for
the shoreland ordinance. So there are sections that will need to be addressed. They just don't meet the
regulations that are required in the wetland as well as the Shoreland Overlay District. To be able to
accommodate the type of product that the applicant is requesting, one of the things that the City could
entertain is re -guiding this site to medium density. It would be dual guiding it to low density as well as
medium density. When we guide it to medium density one of the things that the planned unit
development ordinance will allow us to do is really work with the site. There is no minimum lot area.
There is no minimum lot width. That will allow us to look at the features of the site and position homes
so that they are respectful and conscientious of how can we develop without impacting the natural
features of the site. We are recommending that the Planning Commission provide us with feedback. We
have raised some issues within the staff report that are still of concern. The current plan that the applicant
is, has submitted does not meet the intent of a planned unit development. We believe that it is doable. It
just requires some additional work by the applicant.
Aanenson: I'd like tojust add a couple more comments. Can you go back to the slide? In looking at this
project and the shoreland district, we've gotten feedback from the DNR that it does not meet the intent of
the shoreland district so, because we believe that the single family housing product and meeting the goals
of the number of units that the applicant wanted, somewhere around 16, staying at that 4 units an acre,
which is low density by the City ordinance, we believe that it can fit on this site and meet the ordinance
requirements, not only for the City's ordinance but for the shoreland regs and not filling any wetlands and
avoidance and meeting all that. We do believe the PUD is the right tool for the fact that in order to get
access to this site coming off of West 86'h Street, to go through, to get that access you are going to impact
roads, no matter what product you were to put on that site. The only way to service that via sewer would
Chanhassen Planning Commission — January 15, 2013
have to come off that way so to narrow that road to less impact as we just talked about in the last
application, we believe that the PUD is the right tool. The problem with the low density is it doesn't fit
within the shoreland regs. That flexibility that we have in place so the reason we were recommending the
dual guiding is that if this application wasn't to go forward and the council wanted to revisit some other
application, that would give them the leeway. Again because this is concept we'rejust looking for
direction and what we're telling you is that we don't believe that under the low density that this
application could go forward under that. There's, it just doesn't fit under the current regs but we believe
getting to the 4 units an acre, keeping the 50% open space under the medium density would make some
sense so with that, with some of the conditions that we put in the staff report, we would recommend kind
of moving in that direction so with that, that's kind of our position and we're looking for some direction
from you and then also from the City Council on that so, I think Sharmeen did a good job kind of
explaining the issues that we have so, be happy to answer any questions you have on that.
Aller: Even if we were to do or look at moving toward the... PUD with the medium density, we would
still have to meet the shoreland requirements, right?
Aanenson: Absolutely.
Aller: ... overlay that has to be met
Aanenson: Absolutely. The difference is with, the way our shoreland ordinance is written, it's very
prescriptive as far as lot size under that low density. The medium density allows greater flexibility. It's
similar to what we did up on, up on the 2005 MUSA area. We have some of those lot sizes are different
so it would still accommodate the single family home. We'd keep the buffers and the setbacks in the
preservation area but allows for a smaller lot. It would meet the goals of trying to provide a single family
lot so it doesn't have to be a 15,000 lot. It might be a 11,000 or a 12,000 square foot lot. Similar to what
Ryland just did. Excuse me, what Lennar just did across the street and so.
Aller: Even at the medium density which allows for flexibility, it allows us to move the lot sizes and the
structure on the lot. But I don't see, based on the map that's in front of us where we would be getting 15
units.
Aanenson: What you're looking at now is you're looking at it as it's laid out meeting the larger lot. If
you were to go similar to what Lennar has across the street, which is the similar property, with also some
of those lots fell within the shoreland. That was the RLM which allowed you to go as small as.
AI-Jaff: 9,000 square feet
Aanenson: Yeah.
AI-Jaff: And 63 or 64.
Aanenson: Yeah, 65. 1 don't think they were that small in that subdivision.
AI-Jaff: Correct.
Aanenson: But they were selling very well there so we believe that, based on the house plans that were
submitted, and reconfiguring that. Again that's up to the applicant to do that but we believe it can be met
based on that and without impacting, meeting the ordinance requirements.
Aller: And we're here for concept purposes.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — January 15, 2013
Aanenson: Correct
Aller: We're not here to make a decision or say that this plan is set in stone or even moving forward
because it's really up to the developer to take the comments...
Aanenson: That's correct but 1 guess what we're saying is under the, under the low density or the
application that came in, we don't believe that could advance solely on, the other path that could be taken
which we're asking your feedback on is to go towards the re -guiding of the property. Then again it would
have to come back through for a public hearing but just to get your read on that.
Aller: And then with some of the other issues that are in the staff report that I would see this coming
forward with the hardscape requirements at 50%. With driveways and garages or patios, are going to
need to meet that?
AI -Jaffa They will have to provide us with all of that information so the next step will be figuring out
exactly where that 50% open space is and then calculate the hard surface coverage on the site, and that
would be part of the planned unit development regulations that we would put together should this project
move forward.
Aller: Any other questions at this point? The applicant wish to come forward and make a presentation?
Welcome sir. Come forward, state your name and address for the record.
John Knoblauch: Chairman Aller, staff and the Planning Commission, my name is John Knoblauch. I
live at 1450 Knob Hill Lane, Excelsior, Minnesota. I'm the applicant for the Preserve at Rice Lake.
Couple comments. This property, the landowner has drawn somewhere in the neighborhood of 12
different drawings on this subject parcel here we're working on. Staffs done a great job trying to work
with myself in this challenging piece of property, but we have drawn about, I think we're on our eleventh
shot at this as far as working with staff and trying to make a project that makes sense. The new drawing
that we submitted on Monday is not shown here and that would fall closer to Kate's comments of the lots
are 10,000 square feet. There's 16 lots. They meet the 4 units per acre of developable land. We have a
total wetland impact I believe of point, on that new drawing I think it's .14 total and seems to be pretty
close to, pretty close to what I think is a very doable project for us. So yes, we would like to ask to switch
to that medium density situation so that we can proceed and work with staff to try to massage this to get it
to work. The wetland impacts, just the drawing up there obviously is a little exaggerated because of the
bigger lots. The V that you see coming with some red and orange, which are the buffers for the wetlands,
just to make you aware. That is a 23 foot buffer so the triangle is greatly exaggerated because from the
actual wetland it'd be 23 feet so those would be rounded off, just to let you know on that triangle there.
We have a new drawing now that has a similar setup there in that area but we actually only have about
300 square feet of wetland that would be affected, or actually not make your buffer setback from that
Type I wetland. I'm sorry, Type 3 wetland. So I'd like, I don't think we have that from Monday?
Aller: Are these wetlands delineated now?
Aanenson: No, I think at this, we didn't want to put the new plan in because I think it's kind of a moving
target. I think we're trying to look at some of the macro issues and it's defining the parameters of the
development. The shoreland district. The impact to the wetlands. Those were kind of the driving factors.
Can we get sewer to the site? How is that connection going to be made? There's still a few question
marks that need to be resolved on where that's going to be so really the goal here is before we went into
actually laying out the plat is, we believe based on the parameters that are set in place that you would
have to go to a smaller lot. And even if you changed the density to medium you still have to get to 4.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — January 15, 2013
You can't go below that. So we believe that you know if we get to the 4 buildable acres at 4 units.
Working through all the design, you know limitations we can make that work and the lot sizes, they're
not all going to be at 9. They'll probably be closer to 11 or 12 I think is what we were looking at.
AI -Jaffa This one is 11.
Aanenson: Yeah, in area which is similar to what we just did across on 212 so. Yep, and meeting the
50% open space so it would have to meet all those regulations but we didn't want to show that plan now
because our whole staff report bases on this. Really the goal here tonight is to say, do you believe this is a
reasonable way to, to proceed for this application to go forward? That's really the goal here because I
think you know we're going to have to go through all that detail in the next iteration of the plan itself.
Aller: Right, and it sounds like you're well aware of the wetland issues, which are probably will be the
biggest ones that you have to face once, regardless of the zoning.
John Knoblauch: Right,
Aller: You'll have to deal with the other entities, the State entities with regard to how you're going to put
these and what impacts.
John Knoblauch: Yes, no doubt and I think you know the, as far as this design, what I think it brings a
couple nice things to the table I think. You know it fits well with the surrounding area. The path which
would finally get connected to the east, which would be a nice trail for the neighbors. We are proposing a
sound wall to continue from the townhomes to the west in similar fashion across the next to 212 which
would be, we're figuring right now, I mean we haven't completely had noise studies. We had preliminary
noise study done but somewhere in the 6 to 8 feet going across the berm, which is basically across the
lower part of the drawing up on the board there. And then we're planning on, if we can work out with
staff the 16 lots, we're planning on this parcel to the west, which actually turned out to be about an acre
and a half would end up, which is good, high ground, would end up being dedicated to the City, which
would be nice open space. To the, on the east side, I'm sorry. Yeah, it's a very challenging piece of
property but I think it's a really good site for my product because I build a really nice 2,800 to 3,000
Square foot two story and I think, the pad area that I've got figured with patio, 3 car garage will fit well
underneath the 30% hard cover, including you know driveway, sidewalk and the pad sizes we drew on
that sketch. On the new sketch actually mirror this house and I actually made an attempt to oversize the
garage from what we normally do to make sure that staff felt comfortable that these homes that I'm
proposing will have no trouble down the road and we won't be back asking for situations that they don't
enjoy so. Any questions?
Aller: Anyone? Not at this time. Thank you very much sir.
Aanenson: Mr. Chair, can I just add one other point of clarification? We didn't discuss, there's a lot of
other things that need to be, we talked about the applicant just briefly talked about the noise wall that
needs to take place and we still haven't finalized where that sewer location tie is going to be. There's a
lot of other design issues. Again we're just kind of back talking about, is this the right way? You know
we've worked through a lot of different designs that didn't seem to fit so we're just trying to decide the
right path before we come back with all that detail. But there's quite a few things that still need to be
addressed.
Aller: Ultimately the question is if it goes forward, the best option for it may very well be the increase to
allow for a PUD at the medium density so that we don't pigeon hole whether this goes forward but we
don't stop another person from coming in and doing something different if this one does not go forward.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — January 15, 2013
Aanenson: That gives you the flexibility, that's right. You have another public hearing on that. As you
recall we changed the PUD ordinance so it can go down to the smallest is 11. It's the frontage
requirement that's hanging us up in the shoreland district of 90 feet of frontage. That's what's hanging us
up so.
Aller. And staff is comfortable with that potential modification based on the 2030 plan and it fits.
Aanenson: Correct. Again... ordinance requirements, correct.
Aller: Can it be done water wise?
Jeffery: Chairman Aller, I believe it can. Again it would be on the applicant to show that it can. You
know there have been, I don't what? 11 iterations now. Every one seems to get a little closer so I guess
time will tell but I think there's probably a way to make it happen.
Aller: And if not this one, the flexibility would allow for another applicant to come in. It would just be a
new look, a fresh look as far as you're concerned for purposes of the impact on the wetlands. That the
property.
Jeffery: That is correct. That is correct.
Aller: ...any additional work. Okay. Let's open up the public hearing portion. Anyone wishing to come
forward, please do so. State your name and address for the record. Lots of lookers, no talkers?
Welcome ma'am.
Mary Muirhead: Thank you. My name is Mary Muirhead and I live at 424 Monk Court so my
townhouse would directly face, it directly faces the marshland. Judging from your last comments I can't
quite tell whether development is a foregone conclusion. If I had my druthers the land would never be
developed. It's leaving an undeveloped helps my property value at a time when everyone has
experienced loss in property value. I moved here from Anoka County where I was on 4 acres on the Rum
River and one of the things that just astounded me was the fact that I moved down here and I actually had
a sense of being more in nature than I did at the spot that I had been living and it would make me very sad
to lose that. One of the, if construction is a foregone conclusion at some point in time in the future then 1
think my biggest problem with this development is where the road is. I mean the road cuts as close to the
townhouse property line as possible and just the thought of having headlights in the evening and then
additional traffic as people are going into their homes, that just is a concern to me so respectfully
speaking if this didn't go forward I would not be at all sadden.
Aller: Thank you, and this is exactly what we're here for is the concept so that the developer and the
council can get impact statements from people with regard to what they feel should be done with the
property so construction is never a foregone conclusion. We have to see what happens. Things have been
approved and never move forward too so thank you for coming.
Mary Muirhead: So then let me be that much clearer, please leave it undeveloped.
Aller: Anyone else wishing to speak for or against, or commenting? Good evening.
LuAnn Markgraf: Good evening. My name is LuAnn Markgraf and I live at 401 Rice Court and I'm in
the townhouse development. I'm the very last building and the unit closest to 86th so I would be
definitely impacted by the entrance the way this roadway concept is designed now. I have lots of trees.
Chanhassen Planning Commission —January 15, 2013
It's not that far back to the wetland, to the pond. It's very narrow. I mean how you could even think of
even putting a narrower street in there to accommodate the wetland, plus put a sidewalk and then try to
make it more attractive by putting spruce trees up so we're not impacted by all the traffic that would be
going in and out because it would be coming in and out right out, out my deck. Right straight there and
there is not that much room back there. It is beautiful. 1 don't understand why the entrance needs to be
right there against the back of that last townhome building. I do believe from everything that I've read
since Saturday that there is a great impact on that roadway and all that wetland that's behind that area in
that little circular area that you see there. I have lived in that townhouse since the development was first
built. I've been there since 1996. When I was, when I first moved in there was not even one single family
house and none of those homes in Mission Hills Lane were built. There has to be, this is such a great
impact on the wetlands and the proximity to the townhouses and I think the association, I don't know if
they have been involved in this at all. They would need to be involved because that property line, which
you had said Saturday all those trees would go. I mean that, I've got some big old oak trees. I've got a
dense property on that corner right there and to have all that one and to have all that traffic in and out,
plus I also think it would also be problems with traffic on 86` and 101. There's already enough problems
with 86'h and 101 without it being a controlled intersection. Especially coming from 212 and going north
on 101. A lot of people go through the single family homes to bypass that intersection of 80h and get
onto 101 from farther down. So there is a lot of issues with this concept and just because we're a
townhouse development should not bear anything that we get the bad end. Oh, you'll have the traffic in
and out. You'll have you know all this beautiful area, all these trees, the wetlands back there impacted. It
is absolutely horrible to even think of having that on that western edge of this development.
Aller: Alright, thank you. Anyone else wishing to speak for or against? Good evening sir.
Steve Lehto: Good evening. My name is Steve Lehto. I live at 8591 Tigua Lane so our, my wife and I
have the property that's in the upper right corner of the map, which abuts this property all the way to 80h
so we're going to have a lot of impact. And I'd like to echo the comments of the first person who spoke
tonight that when we bought our home in the summer of 2010, one of the main reasons we fell in love
with the property was the fact that it was indeed in nature and the impact of a development like this is
obviously going to be significant for us. Again in line with what the first person stated, our view is that
you know it would be best for us selfishly if the property were never developed but if development is
truly an inevitability, we're looking for something that is obviously going to be as, the least amount of
impact obviously to our property and also to the neighborhood. I guess I don't know what different
options might exist out there. What the difference really is. We're going to obviously have to do some
research too but the difference between low and medium density, I'm not certain how that impacts
potential developments that another applicant might bring before the council but in some ways it seems
like this, the 11 drawings that were mentioned have gone some way to try to mitigate that impact so we're
certainly thankful for that but again if we had our druthers the property would remain a natural resource
like it is now so, thank you.
Aller: Alright, thank you sir. Anyone else?
Arturo Urrutia: Sure. My name is Arturo Urrutia. I'm at 408 Monk Court and I think I would like to
second what the previous homeowner said. One of the reasons that I purchased my townhouse was that it
afforded me a nice view of the wetlands in the back, and that's always been one of the things that I
pointed out to the people that came to visit. The first time, or the first couple of months that I had guests
was, look at the nice view that I have on the other side of the house. And I don't know what the pro's and
con's tax wise and development wise for the City would be. From a selfish homeowner standpoint, also
with all due respect to the developers, 1 think it would be to our detriment to Mission Hills if something
like this gets developed. Hopefully if something does get developed it would try to minimize the impact
10
Chanhassen Planning Commission —January 15, 2013
traffic wise and tree wise and view wise for the current owners so I just wanted to second what other
people were saying and thank you for the opportunity to express our views.
Aller: Great, thank you. Anyone else? Okay, seeing no one come forward we'll close the public hearing
portion and open for comments from the commissioners. Anyone? It's a concept hearing so.
Colopoulos: Yeah, Chairman Aller you made an earlier comment about the roadway which I think is
apparently of concern here regardless of what other considerations are given to the zoning itself. You
know that is, off the top of my head that to me is the biggest concern. The roadway cutting across that
wetlands there. I mean obviously as this plan goes forward there's going to be several, several shall we
say conflicting perceptions here. You know the views expressed by the neighbors versus the property
rights of the owner of the property and their legal right to pursue application for developable plans.
Where do we think the roadway issue is going to weigh in? That's as much of a question I guess as that
of a comment. I mean how much of an influence is that going to be?
Aller: I think it's going to depend on the actual plan that's put forward.
Aanenson: We just need to stay for the, you know there's going, this property is developable and we've
looked at all the different iterations for the roadway. I think the least amount of impact to the wetlands is
in the configuration that it's shown the access to the property. You're coming across a larger portion of
the wetland the further you move to the, to'the west. Excuse me, east. So we had to place it there.
Certainly I mean we haven't looked at all the impacts of the surrounding property. That's the first I've
heard all those trees are coming down on the property. What would be the property. It's on their property
if the trees would come down, on the developer's proposed property but we would look at that more
closely.
Colopoulos: So the concept drawing here just basically... across the wetlands and with minimum impact,
that was behind that drawing there.
Aanenson: I'll let Terry answer that question
Jeffery: If 1 may. Terry Jeffery, Water Resources Coordinator. I'm not Krista Spreiter. It's a little tough
to hear, to see in this drawing and I intentionally overlaid the wetlands in a very transparent layer so that
you could see what was beneath it but if you look at where the two red impacts are, there is actually no,
there is a small bridge that exists right there. It's two separate wetlands. One over, one over to the, yeah.
Yep, there. One to the east. One to the west. Yep, yep, so to come through up here would actually result
in greater impact and then to come even further north would result in property he doesn't even have
control of. Again regardless of what comes through as a final product he's going to have to meet the
Wetland Conservation Act sequencing which always look at one, avoidance. Two, minimization and
three, replacement of those unavoidable impacts so, and the intent of the PUD would be that there would
be that trade-off where okay, we can, you get the lots but we need to provide protections that we would
not otherwise be afforded if we used standard zoning.
Aller: And that's why 1 don't think it would be a bad thing to comment and pass our comment along to
the council that they should potentially look at this for movement towards allowing for a PUD with
medium density to allow greater flexibility so that this project, or another project can come forward and
allow for greater opportunity to deal with the mitigation to those wetlands.
Aanenson: If I may, I think if you look at this map that's up on the screen right now, it's very illustrative
of the wetland impacts. What it's not showing is the over layer of the shoreland impacts and that's where
the, where the problem aligns. As we showed on the other, other drawing, part of the property is zoned
Chanhassen Planning Commission —January 15, 2013
for twinhomes so you know there are some different things. What we're trying to do is kind of take the
best of all that. Get that 50% open space. Minimize those impacts and we don't have all that detail yet.
As the applicant said we've already worked through a number of drawings so we're saying we're really
not on the right path right now. Now we want to go to a different direction and try to even do a better job
of trying to reduce those impacts and move forward so that's what we're just trying to get a read on. On
that issue and just anything that we would do, whether the council would recommend would have to come
back through in their process so I want to make sure the residents understand that. There's plenty of time
to work through some of those issues.
Aller: Anything?
Tennyson: Well that was a good reminder that it would come forward again and there's no being stuck
with the path that could be taken.
Aanenson: Correct, and there's a lot of other agencies that have review. You know the DNR. Wetland
Conservation Act, all those agencies are going to have to weigh in on that so it's going to be a little bit
more work on that.
Tennyson: Okay.
Allcr: Anything further?
Hokkanen: It seems to me that it's going to be difficult at some, I mean with all these agencies and the
wetlands, changing it to medium density might be the best and flexible way to do it but I mean a couple
of these lots here might not even be able to have, I mean a home based on what I see. So adding 1 don't
know, 1 mean you have to explore the options though. It's the property owner's right.
Aller: And 1 think that's, that's what we're here for is to comment to the council that if they're going to
redirect this and put it back and consideration could be had for the medium density allows for flexibility
which would hopefully leave those areas untouched perhaps but it will depend on what comes back
through.
Hokkanen: Right. Okay.
Aller: Okay.
Colopoulos: This will be a free standing development? It's not going to be part of a nearby association?
AI-Jaff: Correct.
Colopoulos: Okay. It's a separate?
AI-Jaff: Correct.
Colopoulos: Development. Got it.
Aller: Okay, I'll entertain a motion to pass comments to the City Council.
Tennyson: I'll move. I'm reading two different things here. Staff recommends that the Chanhassen
Planning Commission provide the City Council with comments and feedback and direct the applicant to
address issues raised in the staff report dated January 15, 2013.
12
Chanhassen Planning Commission — January 15, 2013
Hokkanen: Second.
Aller: Have a motion and a second. Any further discussion?
Aanenson: Can I make clarification on the motion?
Tennyson: Adding the comment about staff report?
Aanenson: Did we get medium density in there?
Aller: We probably should because there were items in the staff report that we discussed that were not...
Aanenson: Okay, I guessjust to make sure that we're clear on that we're looking at a land use, potential
land use amendment, just for clarification. It's in the staff report but I want to make sure that, l want to
make sure you and I understand what you're recommending, if that's what your recommendation is.
Tennyson: So staff report dated January 15, 2013 along with staffs proposed comments listed in the staff
report.
Hokkanen: Second.
Aller: And with that we have a motion and a second. Any further discussion?
Tennyson moved, Hokkanen seconded that the Chanhassen Planning Commission provide the City
Council with comments and feedback, and direct the applicant to address issues raised in the staff
report dated January 15, 2013 along with staffs proposed comments listed in the staff report dated
January 15, 2013. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0.
Aanenson: And if I may Mr. Chair, just for the residents that are here. This item is going to the City
Council on January 28i' I believe.
AI -Jaffa January 28'".
Aanenson: 28'h, yes so these comments will be forwarded to the City Council. Again they're going to
just make a recommendation too and then it's up to the applicant if he wants to pursue, based on whatever
direction that he also gets from the City Council.
Aller: So the City Council won't actually be doing anything as far as an up or down vote unless they
decide to...?
Aanenson: That's correct. Correct.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Hokkanen noted the verbatim and summary Minutes
of the Planning Commission meeting dated December 4, 2012 as presented.
None.

ZONING: RSF — Single Family Residential District and R4 — Mixed Low Density
Residential District.
2030 LAND USE PLAN: Residential Low Density (Net Density 1.2-4 Units per Acre)
ACREAGE: 13.2 acres
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting approval for a general concept plan for a PUD for 15 single-family
lots. If the project is to proceed for preliminary or development plan approval, the application
would include a land use amendment from Residential Low Density to Residential Low or
Medium Density, a rezoning from Single Family Residential District and Mixed Low Density
Residential District to Planned Unit Development — Residential, and a site plan review.
LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION MAKING:
The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving or denying a rezoning because the
City is acting in its legislative or policy-making capacity. A PUD must be consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan.

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting a general concept plan for a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The
site is located north of Highway 212 and southeast of the intersection of West 86"' Street and
Tigua Lane.
It is currently zoned RSF — Single Family Residential District and Mixed Low Density
Residential District. With the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan in 2008, the City
Council guided the site Residential Low Density. The request for a Planned Unit Development
concept plan allows the applicant to seek relief from the standards of the conventional zoning
districts by creating a unique zoning district rather than asking for variances.
Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of
most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater
variety of uses, internal transfer of density, construction phasing and a potential for lower
development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the city has the expectation that the
development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than
would have been the case with the other, more standard zoning districts. It will be the applicant's
responsibility to demonstrate that the City's expectations are to be realized as evaluated against
nine criteria.
The property will need a land use amendment to a mix of Residential Low Density and
Residential Medium Density, rezoning to PUD -R (allowing 4 units per acre), a variance for the
length of a cul-de-sac, and site plan approval to proceed.

BACKGROUND
Staff has been working with the property owner representative for more than a year and has
reviewed numerous iterations of layouts for the development of this site to find an alternative
that would minimize impacts to the natural features. The site falls within the shoreland overlay
district of Rice Marsh Lake and contains several wetlands.
APPLICABLE REGUATIONS
Chapter 20: Article VIII, Planned Unit Development District,
Article VI, Wetland Protection,
Article VII, Shoreland Management district,
Concept PUD - What is required?
The intent of the concept plan is to get direction from the Planning Commission and City
Council without incurring a lot of expense. The following are the requirements for conceptual
PUD approval.
Chanhassen City Code, Section 20-517 General concept plan
(a) The general concept plan for a PUD provides an opportunity for the applicant to submit a
plan to the city showing the basic intent and the general nature of the entire development
without incurring substantial cost. The plan shall include the following:
(1) Overall gross and net density.
(2) Identification of each lot size and lot width.
(3) General location of major streets and pedestrian ways.
(4) General location and extent of public and common open space.
(5) General location and type of land uses and intensities of development.
(6) Staging and time schedule for development.
(b) The tentative written consent of all property owners within the proposed PUD shall be
filed with the city before the staff commences review. Approval of the concept statement
shall not obligate the city to approve the final plan or any part thereof or to rezone the
property to a planned unit development district.
(c) The final acceptance of land uses is subject to the following procedures:
(1) The developer meets with the city staff to discuss the proposed developments.
(2) The applicant shall file the concept stage application and concept plan, together
with all supporting data.
(3) The planning commission shall conduct a hearing and make recommendations to
the city council. Notice of the hearing shall consist of a legal property
description, description of request, and be published in the official newspaper at
least ten (10) days prior to the hearing, written notification of the hearing shall be
mailed at least ten (10) days prior thereto to owners of land within five hundred

(500) feet of the boundary of the property and an on-site notification sign
erected.
(4) Following the receipt of the report and recommendations from the planning
commission, the city council shall consider the proposal. The council may
comment on the concept plan.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The subject site is located north of Highway 212 and southeast of the intersection of West 86h
Street and Tigua Lane. The site has an area of 13.2 acres. It contains multiple wetlands and is
within the Rice Marsh Lake Shoreland Overlay District. Access is gained via West 86th Street.
The property to the west is zoned PUD and guided
Mission Hills Development, a mix of low and medium density residential development. The
property to the north is zoned Single Family Residential and is guided Residential Low Density.
Planning Commission

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan classifies the subject property as Residential Low Density, which requires a
minimum density of 1.2 units per acre and a maximum density of 4 units per acre.
As mentioned earlier, staff has reviewed several iterations of how to best develop this site. The goal
is to allow the development with minimum impact to the natural features of the site. Staff found that
in this situation the application of standard Single Family Residential regulations would be
impractical due to 1) the applicant desires to build single-family detached homes on the site, 2) the
presence of the 15,000 square -foot minimum lot size for non -riparian lots and 90 -foot frontage, and
3) wetlands. Staff finds that the applicant has proposed a plan that meets other important City
requirements to protect natural environmental features; however, a preferred alternative to achieve
this goal would be to guide the site Residential Medium Density. This category allows the clustering
of homes with no minimum lot size or frontage. In this case, the homes will be placed in locations
that will have the least impact on the natural features and will allow the applicant the opportunity to
enhance the wetlands and surrounding buffer. At the same time, the applicant will be able to build
the single-family detached homes.
The city has discretion in
amending the
comprehensive plan.
The site currently has a
low-density residential
designation. It is the
applicant's intention to
build single-family
detached homes. In
order to accommodate
the applicant's request
and minimize impact on
the natural features of
the site, staff is
proposing guiding the
site to a mix of
Residential Low and
Medium Density. This
type of land use permits
Planned Unit
Developments with clustered homes and no minimum lot size. This will allow staff to work with
the applicant to maximize preservation and enhancement of natural features. It also allows the
city to determine the best type of housing development (attached vs. detached housing).
The following elements of the comprehensive plan discuss land use policies that should be
evaluated in changing the land use.

Chapter 2 Land Use Element
2.53 Residential — Medium density
The medium density designation is intended to accommodate multiple units including duplexes,
townhouses and lower density apartments, or condominiums. A net density range of 4.0 — 8.0
units per acre is covered by this category with an expected density of 6.0 units per acre. The
zoning options in the medium density land use include R4 (Mixed Low Density), RLM
(Residential Low and Medium density), (Mixed Medium Density Residential) and PUD -R
(Planned United Development -Residential). Medium density is viewed as transitional use
between low density and Commercial, office or high density areas.
Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies
4.6 Housing Goals and Policies
Goals: Provide housing opportunities for all residents, consistent with the identified community
goals:
• A variety of housing types for all people in all stages of the life cycle.
• A community of well-maintained housing and neighborhoods, including ownership and
rental housing.
• Housing development that respects the natural environment of the community while
striving to accommodate the need for a variety of housing types and costs.
• The availability of a full range of services and facilities for its residents, and the
improvement of access to a linkage between housing and employment.
• Housing development methods such as PUD's, cluster development, and innovative site
plans and building types, should be encouraged to help conserve energy and resources for
housing.
• While density is given by a range in the comprehensive plan, the City shall encourage
development at the upper end of the density range.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT INTENT
See. 20-501. Intent.
Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of
most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater
variety of uses, internal transfer of density, construction phasing and a potential for lower
development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the city has the expectation that the
development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than
would have been the case with the other, more standard zoning districts. It will be the applicant's
responsibility to demonstrate that the City's expectations are to be realized as evaluated against
the following criteria. Planned unit developments are to encourage the following:
Planning Commission
Preserve at Rice Lake Concept Planned Unit Development
January 15, 2013
Page 8 of 21
1. Preservation of desirable site characteristics and open space and protection of sensitive
environmental features, including steep slopes, mature trees, creeks, wetlands, lakes and
scenic views.
Analysis: The site has multiple wetlands that will be protected with no development.
2. More efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities through mixing of
land uses and assembly and development of land in larger parcels.
Analysis: Staff is recommending the units be clustered to maximize the surrounding open
space.
3. High quality design and design compatibility with surrounding land uses, including both
existing and planned. Site planning, landscaping and building architecture should reflect
higher quality design than is found elsewhere in the community.
Analysis: Staff will insure that all materials comply with the design standards specified in
the zoning ordinance. The landscaping of the site will also be treated in a similar fashion.
4. Sensitive development in transitional areas located between different land uses and along
significant corridors within the city will be encouraged.
Analysis: The single-family detached homes will be an ideal transition between the single-
family homes to the north and the townhouses to the west.
5. Development which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Analysis: Currently, a portion of the site is guided Low Density. A land use amendment to
Medium Density Residential would be required to allow the site to develop in an
environmentally -sensitive manner. It will also become consistent with the Shoreland
Ordinance. Municipal services are available to the site.
6. Parks and open space. The creation of public open space may be required by the city. Such
park and open space shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Park Plan and overall trail
plan.
Analysis: The city's comprehensive park plan calls for a neighborhood park to be located
within one-half mile of every residence in the city. The proposed Preserve at Rice Lake
development would not meet this guideline. The nearest park is Rice Marsh Lake Park
which is located approximately one mile away if utilizing the city's pedestrian trail network.
There is no ideal place to locate a park within this site. The city's comprehensive trail plan
calls for the future completion of a Rice Marsh Lake Trail to be constructed around the
perimeter of the lake. This proposed subdivision should provide for and construct a trail
connection to this future trail starting at the public street and extending to the southeast
comer of the property. This trail connection should be situated in a public outlot or trail
easement.
Planning Commission
Preserve at Rice Lake Concept Planned Unit Development
January 15, 2013
Page 9 of 21
7. Provision of housing affordable to all income groups if appropriate with the PUD.
Analysis: Not applicable with this application. This project will be market rate.
8. Energy conservation through the use of more efficient building designs and siting and the
clustering of buildings and land uses.
Analysis: The development will provide a noise wall along Highway 212. This will benefit
the current homeowners as well as the future ones.
9. Use of traffic management and design techniques to reduce the potential for traffic conflicts.
Improvements to area roads and intersections may be required as appropriate.
Analysis: The site will be served via a cul-de-sac off of West 86s Street.
Sec. 20-502. - Allowed uses.
Specific uses and performance standards for each PUD shall be delineated in a development
plan.
(1) Each PUD shall only be used for the use or uses for which the site is designated in the
comprehensive plan. Specific uses and performance standards for each PUD shall be
delineated in a PUD development plan.
Finding. If the project moves beyond conceptual approval, preliminary PUD design standards
will be created that will control the development of the project.
Sec. 20-503. - District size and location.
Each PUD shall have a minimum area of five acres except the regional/lifestyle center
commercial PUD, which must be a minimum of 30 acres, unless the applicant can demonstrate
the existence of one of the following:
(1) Unusual physical features of the property itself or of the surrounding neighborhood such
that development as a PUD will conserve a physical or topographic feature of importance
to the neighborhood or community.
(2) The property is directly adjacent to or across a right-of-way from property which has
been developed previously as a PUD or planned unit residential development and will be
perceived as and will function as an extension of that previously approved development.
(3) The property is located in a transitional area between different land use categories or on a
collector, minor or principal arterial as defined in the comprehensive plan.
Finding. The entire site is 13.2 acres and is located in a transitional area between a low and a
medium -density residential area. Fifty percent of the site must be preserved as open space as
required in the Shoreland ordinance.
Planning Commission

Sec. 20-504. - Coordination with other zoning regulations.
The development must comply with Article II, Division 6 of Chapter 20 addressing Site Plan
Review as well as Articles V, VI and VII (Floodplain, Wetland and Shoreland District and the
Bluff Creek Overlay District).
Finding. The project will be required to meet these standards as described in the staff report.
The development must receive a land use amendment, rezoning and site plan review approvals.
Chapter 20 Article XXIH
Sec. 20-505. - Required general standards.
Standards and purposes of the comprehensive land use plan to coordinate between the proposed
development and the surrounding use.
(a) The city shall consider the proposed PUD from the point of view of all standards and
purposes of the comprehensive land use plan to coordinate between the proposed
development and the surrounding use. The city shall consider the location of buildings,
compatibility, parking areas and other features with response to the topography of the
area and existing natural features; the efficiency, adequacy and safety of the proposed
layout of streets; the adequacy and location of green areas; the adequacy, location and
screening of non -compatible land uses and parking areas.
Finding. The project meets elements of the city's comprehensive plan if amended
including housing and transportation. The plans provide for preservation of the natural
features and will serve as a transition piece.
(b) The applicant shall demonstrate that the PUD plan offers the city higher quality
architectural and site design, landscaping, protection of wetlands, creeks and mature trees
and buffering for adjoining properties that represent improvements over normal
ordinance standards.
Finding. With the application of clustering the units, the natural features of the site will
be preserved And with some modifications, they could be enhanced. The applicant will
preserve the wetlands, buffers, add landscaping that exceeds ordinance requirements and
add a sound wall along Highway 212. The development will meet the higher standards
established for medium density residential development by the city.
(c) Density. An increase/transfer for density may be allowed at the sole discretion of the city
utilizing the following factors:
(1) Density within a PUD shall be calculated on net acreage located within the
property lines of the site in accordance with the land use plan.
(2) The area where the density is transferred must be within the project area and
owned by the proponent.
Planning Commission
Preserve at Rice Lake Concept Planned Unit Development
January 15, 2013
Page 11 of 21
(3) Density transfer in single-family detached area will be evaluated using the items
listed in sections 20-506 or 20-508. Density transfer eligible for multiple -family
areas are not permitted to be applied to single-family areas.
(4) In no case shall the overall density of the development exceed the net density
ranges identified in the comprehensive plan except as specified in policies
supporting the city's affordable housing goals.
Finding. The developer must calculate the net developable acres of the site and wetland
acreage. The project proposes using the area located in the center of the site to cluster
the development The density will be 4 units per acre.
(d) The city may utilize incentives to encourage the construction of projects which are
consistent with the city's housing goals. Incentives may include modification of density
and other standards for developments providing low and moderate cost housing.
Incentives may be approved by the city contingent upon the developer and the city
entering into an agreement ensuring that the housing will be available to low and
moderate income persons for a specific period of time.
Finding: Not applicable with this request. The project will be market rate.
(e) Hard surface coverage.
Finding: The development must be under 30 percent hardcover. The developer shall
provide the hard surface coverage calculation to confirm. The shoreland regulations are
greater than the PUD. The applicant will meet the shoreland regulations.
(f) Building and parking setbacks from public streets shall be determined by the city based
on characteristics of the specific PUD. Parking lots and driving lanes shall be set back at
least 20 feet from all exterior lot lines of a PUD.
Where industrial uses abut developed platted or planned single-family lots outside the
PUD, greater exterior building and parking setbacks, between 50 and 100 feet, shall be
required in order to provide effective screening. The city council shall make a
determination regarding the adequacy of screening proposed by the applicant. Screening
may include the use of natural topography or earth berming, existing and proposed
plantings and other features such as roadways and wetlands which provide separation of
uses. PUD's must be developed in compliance with buffer yard requirements established
by the comprehensive plan and chapter 20, article XXV, of the Chanhassen City Code.
Finding: The project will provide buffering along Highway 212 and between the subject
site and low density development to the north. The development will be held to standards
set in the city code.
(g) More than one building may be placed on one platted or recorded lot in a PUD.
Finding: This does not apply to this request since each home will be located on a
separate lot.
Planning Commission
Preserve at Rice Lake Concept Planned Unit Development
January 15, 2013
Page 12 of 21
(h) At the time PUD approval is sought from the city, all property to be included within a
PUD shall be under unified ownership or control or subject to such legal restrictions or
covenants as may be necessary to ensure compliance with the approved master
development plan and final site and building plan. After approval, parcels may be sold to
other parties without restriction; however, all parcels will remain subject to the PUD
development contract that will be recorded in each chain -of -title.
Finding: The project will be developed under singular ownership.
(i) Signs shall be restricted to those which are permitted in the sign plan approved by the city
and shall be regulated by permanent covenants or design standards established in the
PUD development contract.
Finding: Signage will be consistent with the city's sign ordinance for residential
development (Area identification/entrance signs. Only one monument sign may be
erected at the entrance(s). Total sign area shall not exceed 24 square feet of sign display
area, nor be more than 5 feet high. More than one sign per entrance may be erected,
provided that the total sign area does not exceed 24 square feet. Any such sign or
monument shall be designed with low -maintenance, high-quality materials. The adjacent
property owner or a homeowners association shall be responsible for maintenance of the
identification/entrance sign and surrounding grounds and landscaped areas. Such sign
shall be located so as not to conflict with traffic visibility or street maintenance
operation, and shall be securely anchored to the ground.)
(j) The requirements contained in articles XXIII and XXV of this chapter may be applied by
the city as it deems appropriate.
Finding: The project will follow the city's design standards and landscaping, tree
removal and buffering requirements.
(k) The uniqueness of each PUD required that specifications and standards for streets,
utilities, public facilities and subdivisions may be subject to modification from the city
ordinances ordinarily governing them. The city council may therefore approve streets,
utilities, public facilities and land subdivisions which are not in compliance with usual
specifications or ordinance requirements if it finds that strict adherence to such standards
or requirements is not required to meet the intent of this [article] or to protect the health,
safety or welfare of the residents of the PUD, the surrounding area or the city as a whole.
Finding: Staff is recommending the width of the right-of-way be limited to 50 feet and the
front yard setback be reduced to 25 feet. This will allow a greater preservation of the
wetlands and surrounding buffer. In addition, staff is recommending a side yard setback
of 5 feet along the garage side and JO feet along the opposite side.
(1) No building or other permit shall be issued for any work on property included within a
proposed or approved PUD, nor shall any work occur unless such work is in compliance
with the proposed or approved PUD.
Planning Commission
Preserve at Rice Lake Concept Planned Unit Development

Finding. Not applicable at this time.
(m) Buffer yards.
(1) The city comprehensive plan establishes a requirement for buffer yards. ...in
areas indicated on the plan where higher intensity uses interface with low density
uses and shall comply with chapter 20, article XXV, of the Chanhassen City
Code.
(2) The buffer yard is not an additional setback requirement. The full obligation to
provide the buffer yard shall be placed on the parcel containing the higher
intensity use.
(3) The buffer yard is intended to provide physical separation and screening for the
higher intensity use. As such, they will be required to be provided with a
combination of berming, landscaping and/or tree preservation to maximize the
buffering potential. To the extent deemed feasible by the city, new plantings shall
be designed to require the minimum of maintenance, however, such maintenance
as may be required to maintain consistency with the approved plan, shall be the
obligation of the property owner.
Finding. There is a buffer yard requirement between medium and low density
developments. Buffer plantings will also be required along Highway 212. A minimum of
one tree is required within the front yard of each lot.
See. 20-508. - Standards and guidelines for single-family attached or cluster -home PUDs.
(a) Generally. Single-family attached, cluster, zero lot line, townhouses and similar type
dwelling types may be allowed on sites designed for low, medium or high density
residential uses by the City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan.
(b) Minimum lot sizes. There shall be no minimum lot size; however, in no case shall net
density exceed guidelines established by the city comprehensive plan.
(c) Setback standards/structures and parking:
(1) PUD exterior: 50 feet.
(2) Interior public right-of-way: 30 feet.*
*The 30 foot front yard setback may be waived by the city council when it is
demonstrated that environmental protection will be enhanced. In these instances, a
minimum front yard setback of 20 feet shall be maintained.
(3) Other setbacks: Established by PUD agreement.
Finding. With a land use amendment to medium density residential and the rezoning of
the property, the standard would be met. Additional design standards will be generated
as apart of the PUD review.
(d) Protection and preservation of natural features. The applicant must demonstrate that the
flexibility provided by the PUD is used to protect and preserve natural features such as
Planning Commission
Preserve at Rice Lake Concept Planned Unit Development
January 15, 2013
Page 14 of 21
tree stands, wetlands, ponds and scenic views. These areas are to be permanently
protected as public or private tracts or protected by permanently recorded easements.
Finding: The wetlands would be preserved with this PUD request. Without the
application ofa PUD and clustering of homes, the wetlands could potentially be
impacted.
(e) Landscaping plan. An overall landscaping plan is required. The plan shall contain the
following:
(1) Boulevard plantings. Located in front yards shall require a mix of over -story trees
and other plantings consistent with the site. Landscaped berms shall be provided
to screen the site from major roadways, railroads and more intensive land uses. In
place of mass grading for building pads and roads, stone or decorative blocks
retaining walls shall be employed as required to preserve mature trees and the
site's natural topography.
(2) Exterior landscaping and double fronted lots. Landscaped berms shall be
provided to buffer the site and lots from major roadways, railroads, and more
intensive uses. Similar measures shall be provided for double -fronted lots. Where
necessary to accommodate this landscaping, additional lot depth may be required.
(3) Foundation and yard plantings. A minimum budget for foundation plants shall be
established and approved by the city. As each parcel is developed in the PUD, the
builder shall be required to install plant materials meeting or exceeding the
required budget prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy or provide financial
guarantees acceptable to the city.
(4) Tree preservation. Tree preservation is a primary goal of the PUD. A detailed tree
survey should be prepared during the design of the PUD and the plans should be
developed to maximize tree preservation.
Finding: The following landscaping requirements make the proposal consistent with the
requirements:
• There is a buffer yard requirement between medium and low density
developments. Buffer plantings will also be required along Highway 212. A
minimum of one tree is required within the front yard of each lot.
• City boulevard trees must be protected during construction and replaced if
damaged. Trees must be shown on plans. Plantings along the roads must comply
with the bufferyard B standards of the city code.
• Canopy coverage for site should be around 25%.
(f) Architectural standards. The applicant should demonstrate that the PUD will provide for
a high level of architectural design and building materials. While this requirement is not
intended to minimize design flexibility, a set of architectural standards should be
prepared for city approval. The primary purpose of this section is to assure the city that
high quality design will be employed and that home construction can take place without
variances or impact to adjoining lots. The PUD agreement should include the following:
Planning Commission
Preserve at Rice Lake Concept Planned Unit Development
January 15, 2013
Page 15 of 21
(1) Standards for exterior architectural treatments...
Findings: The building will be reviewed under the city's design standards for multifamily
development, Chapter 20, Article MR, Division 9, including archictural style,
materials, lighting, etc. as MnDOT requires that the building be designed for noise
attenuation. The district permits a height of three stories or 35 feet.
ROADWAYS
The property lies north of Highway 212, east of County Road 101 and south of 86th Street. The
proposed access on 86th Street is located so as to minimize wetland impacts. To further reduce
wetland impacts staff supports a reduced right-of-way width (50 feet, with a 15 -foot front yard
drainage and utility easement) and a reduced street width (28 feet) for the portion of the road that
does not have any lots adjacent to it (approximately 400 feet). The remainder of the street and
right-of-way shall meet the City's minimum requirements. The proposed street curves do not
meet a 30 mph design speed; advanced warning and speed advisory signs would be required.
The proposed cul-de-sac is approximately 1,400 feet long, which exceeds the 800 -foot maximum
length stipulated in the City Code. Based on the lot configuration and wetland conditions on the
site, staff supports the proposed variance.
GRADING
The concept plan does not include proposed grading. The anticipated wetland impacts shown on
the concept plan are for the most part based on lot lines and right-of-way lines. The site grading
has the potential to increase the wetland impacts.
The locations of the ponds appear suitable for drainage patterns. The applicant's engineer feels
the sizes shown are adequate. The applicant will need to provide calculations with a preliminary
plat submittal in the event one is made.
A soils report for the site was completed in 2012 after three months of below average
precipitation. The report indicated that the groundwater elevation is likely to be similar to the
water levels in the wetlands. Updated soils and groundwater information will be required should
the applicant proceed with the proposal
A 12 -inch trunk watermain extends from the townhome development to the west to the
Reflections development south of Highway 212. The developer proposes to extend lateral
watermain from this trunk line to service the development. Once a grading plan is developed the
estimated operating water pressure and fire flow will be calculated. Some homes may require a
privately -owned and maintained booster to provide a desirable water pressure since the
watermain will not be looped.
Planning Commission
Preserve at Rice Lake Concept Planned Unit Development
January 15, 2013
Page 16 of 21
The developer proposes to extend lateral sanitary sewer from the 12 -inch trunk sanitary sewer
northeast of the site, through MnDOT property. The developer shall obtain the necessary
permits and easements from MnDOT to complete this work. The lateral sanitary sewer
alignment shall minimize tree loss and provide vehicular access to the manholes.
The portion of the sanitary sewer that the developer proposes to connect to is currently not in
service. The developer shall televise and air test the existing pipe to ensure that it meets current
standards.
WETLAND PROTECTION
Graham Environmental Services performed an on-site wetland identification and boundary
determination in June of 2011. The Notice of Decision approving the delineated boundary was
issued on July 19, 2011 with minor changes. Six wetlands were delineated on the site — wetlands
C and D were later determined to be parts of the same wetland resulting in five discrete wetland
basins. The city has received no evidence that the United States Army Corps of Engineers has
issued a Jurisdictional Determination for the wetlands as required under section 303 of the Clean
Water Act.
Wetlands are placed into one of five management classes based upon the results of a Minnesota
Routine Assessment Methodology (MNRAM). Only two wetlands have had a MNRAM
performed. Wetland A and Wetland F are both in Management Classification 2. Staff will
prepare a MNRAM for the remaining wetlands. A preliminary investigation indicates that
Wetland C is likely to be in Management Classification 3 and Wetland B in Management
Classification 1. The following table shows the required buffer width and setback from said
buffer.

When overlaid on the concept plat the building pads for Lots 1 through 3 and Lots 9 through 14
all are intersected by the wetland setback line. in no instance does it appear that the setback line
is depicted accurately on the concept plat.
Figure 1 shows the wetland boundaries, the wetland buffers and the setback from these buffers.
That area to the upland side of the purple lines is, generally speaking, that portion which is
"buildable" although grading may occur within the setback areas.

Figure 1: Buildable area based solely upon wetland setbacks. (Note: this aces not consider gnding and other udlitics.)
The applicant has proposed four wetland impacts. Two of these impacts result from the road
designed to access the site. This applicant has made efforts to minimize the wetland impacts
associated with the road to, in the opinion of staff, the greatest extent practicable. The remaining
two impacts are proposed for the purpose of creating two additional lots. The Minnesota Wetland
Conservation Act (MN Rules Chapter 8420) makes it clear that avoidance of wetland impacts is
always the first option that must be considered.

ensure that the applicant has exhausted all possibilities to avoid and minimize wetland impacts
according to sequencing in part 8420.0520.
Further, the local government unit must evaluate "whether any proposed feasible and prudent

4. It is an environmentally -preferred alternative based on a review of social, economic, and
environmental impacts; and
5. It would create no truly unusual problems.
Paragraph 3 goes on to list what the local government unit must consider when evaluating the
applicability of avoidance alternatives.
(3) The local government unit must consider the following in evaluating avoidance
alternatives as applicable:
(a) whether the basic project purpose can be reasonably accomplished using one or
more other sites in the same general area that would avoid wetland impacts. An
alternate site must not be excluded from consideration only because it includes or
requires an area not owned by the applicant that could reasonably be obtained,
used, expanded, or managed to fulfill the basic purpose of the proposed project;
(b) the general suitability of the project site and alternate sites considered by the
applicant to achieve the purpose of the project;
(c) whether reasonable modification of the size, scope, configuration, or density of
the project would avoid impacts to wetlands;
(d) efforts by the applicant to accommodate or remove constraints on alternatives
imposed by zoning standards or infrastructure, including requests for conditional
use permits, variances, or planned unit developments;
(e) the physical, economic, and demographic requirements of the project. Economic
considerations alone do not make an alternative not feasible and prudent; and
(f) the amount, distribution, condition, and public value of wetlands and associated
resources to be affected by the project and the potential for direct and indirect
effects over time.
(4) If the local government unit determines that a feasible and prudent alternative exists that
would avoid impacts to wetlands, it must deny the replacement plan. If no feasible and
prudent alternative is available that would avoid impacts to wetlands, the local
government unit must evaluate the replacement plan for compliance with subparts 4 to 8.
Previous iterations have been presented to city staff from this applicant and others which have
avoided impacts exclusive of the road. Because economic considerations alone cannot be used
to justify wetland impacts and it is known that the "basic project purpose" can be accomplished
without impacts at Lot 3 and Lot 14, staff cannot support this concept plan as it is not in
compliance with Chapter 8420 of the MN Rules or Section 20-403 of Chanhassen City Code.
As this is a conceptual plan only, no grading plan or hydrologic/hydraulic calculations have been
provided. Grading for the ponds, and possibly the house pads will extend beyond the areas
shown. This could potentially lead to additional wetland impacts which will need to meet the
same standards of review as the impacts indicated on this plan.
There is a certain expectation by a private homeowner that they have a usable yard to enjoy as
they see fit and as such, staff strongly encourages the placement of wetland buffers within
outlots. Figure 2 shows the various limitations that would encumber each lot with this layout.
The area in green would be fully buildable based solely upon wetland buffers and setbacks. This
does not account for easements, lot setbacks, etc. The area in yellow represents the area where
secondary structures would be allowed. The homeowner could place a patio, gazebo, deck,
swing set, etc. in this area. The area highlighted in orange could be maintained as lawn but could

not have any structure placed or constructed within it. The area in red must be maintained as a
naturalized buffer and could not be used for lawn or landscaping.
Figure 2. Wetland Buffer and Resulting Setbacks per Section 20-411
The wetland impact proposed for prospective Lots 3 and 12 are intended to provide adequate
space to create the buffer and setback. Under Section 20-412, this practice is not allowed.
(c) Additional wetland impacts shall not be allowed for the creation of buffer strips.
Staff, as the LGU for the Wetland Conservation Act and when considering the City of
Chanhassen's Wetland Protection ordinance, could not support the impacts proposed at Lots 3
and 12.

SHORELAND
Most of the parcel and all of the proposed improvements are within the shoreland overlay
district. Because the applicant is requesting a PUD, there are specific requirements which must
be met by state law. Further, the Department of Natural Resources must review and approve any
PUD submittal. Among other criteria, the plan must:
1. Have at least five dwelling units.
2. Must contain open space meeting specific criteria including at least 50% of the total
project area must be preserved in open space. It appears that the site is at approximately
48% with the pond area yet to be deducted from the open space.
3. Specific standards are set forth for the "centralization and design of facilities and
structures". This includes, among other items, that the dwelling units or sites are
clustered into one or more suitable areas.
4. Specific administration and maintenance requirements to preserve the open space must be
met. Most importantly, an organization must exist that will provide for the maintenance
of the preserved open space.
PARK AND RECREATION
COMPREHENSIVE PARK PLAN
The city's comprehensive park plan calls for a neighborhood park to be located within one-half
mile of every residence in the city. The proposed Preserve at Rice Lake development would not
Planning Commission
Preserve at Rice Lake Concept Planned Unit Development
January 15, 2013
Page 21 of 21
meet this guideline. The nearest park is Rice Marsh Lake Park which is located approximately
one mile away if utilizing the city's pedestrian trail network.
COMPREHENSIVE TRAIL PLAN
The city's comprehensive trail plan calls for the future completion of a Rice Marsh Lake Trail to
be constructed around the perimeter of the lake. This proposed subdivision should provide for
and construct a trail connection to this future trail starting at the public street and extending to
the southeast corner of the property. This trail connection should be situated in a public outlot or
trail easement.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Chanhassen Planning Commission provide the City Council with
comments and feedback along with the following comments:
1. Full park fees in lieu of parkland dedication and/or trail construction shall be collected in full at
the rate in force upon final plat submission and approval. At today's rate these fees would total
$87,000 (15 lots X $5,800 per lot).
2. Dedication of a public outlot or easement to accommodate the construction of a neighborhood
trail connection to the future Rice Marsh Lake Trail.
3. Construction of the 8 -foot wide neighborhood trail connection from the public street to the
southeast comer of the property.
4. A PUD Ordinance shall be created to govern the site and design standards.
5. Buildings must meet the 50 -foot perimeter setback requirements.
6. The location of all existing utilities shall be field verified.
7. Address all issues raised in the staff report.

SUBJECT: Preserve at Rice Lake (Formerly Knoblauch Building)
MnDOT Review # S 12-058
North side of US 212, east of TH 101
Chanhassen, Carver County
Control Section 1013
Dear Ms. Sharmeen Al -Jaffa
Thank you for the opportunity to review the Preserve at Rice Lake (Formerly Knoblauch
Building) plans. Since the current plans remain quite similar to the previous plans, our
comments remain the same. They are as follows:
Design:
The proposed walk and street are very close to MnDOT right of way and will require a
grading plan to determine if there are highway impacts.
For questions concerning this subject, please contact Nancy Jacobson, (651-234-7647 or
nancYjacobson(&state.mn.us) in the Metro Design Section.
Water Resources:
A MnDOT drainage permit will be required. The drainage permit application form can
be found at htti)://www.dot.state.mn.us/utility/forms/index.html.
The following information is required with the drainage permit application:
• Final drainage plan showing storm sewer plan, storm sewer and culvert profiles
and pond contours
• Existing and proposed drainage area maps with flow arrows
• Existing and proposed drainage/pond computations for the 2, 10, and 100 year
rainfall events
Addition information may be required once a drainage permit is submitted and after a
detailed review. MnDOT will not allow an increase in discharge to MnDOT right-of-way.
Please direct any questions regarding these issues to Hailu Shekur (651-234-7521 or
hailu.shekur(&state.mn.us ) of MnDOT's Water Resources Engineering section.
Permits and Right -of -Way:
In addition to the drainage permit, a Limited Use Permit would be needed if any
sidewalk/trail is within MnDOT right-of-way.
The applicant will need to go through the Limited Use Permit process. Please contact
Dan Phelps (651-234-7585 or dan.phelps(astate.mn.us).
The proposed development must not extend into MnDOT right-of-way. Also, any use of
or work affecting MnDOT Right-of-way and/or utilities requires a permit. Permit forms
are available from MnDOT's permit website at httn://www.dot.state.mn.us/pennits/.
Please include one 11 x 17 plan set and one full size plan set with each permit
application. Please direct any questions regarding permit requirements to Buck Craig
(651-234-7911 or buck.craig(astate.mn.usl of MnDOT's Metro Permits Section.
Noise:
MnDOT's policy is to assist local governments in promoting compatibility between land
use and highways. Residential uses located adjacent to highways often result in
complaints about traffic noise. Traffic noise from this highway could exceed noise
standards established by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Department of
Transportation. Minnesota Rule 7030.0030 states that municipalities are responsible for
taking all reasonable measures to prevent land use activities listed in the MPCA's Noise
Area Classification (NAC) where the establishment of the land use would result in
violations of established noise standards.
MnDOT policy regarding development adjacent to existing highways prohibits the
expenditure of highway funds for noise mitigation measures in such areas. The project
proposer should assess the noise situation and take the action deemed necessary to
minimize the impact of any highway noise. If you have any questions regarding
MnDOT's noise policy please contact Peter Wasko in our Design section at (651) 234-
7681.
Review Submittal Options:
MnDOT's goal is to complete the review of plans within 30 days. Submittals sent in
electronically can usually be turned around faster. There are four submittal options.
Please submit either:
1. One (1) electronic pdf. version of the plans. MnDOT can accept the plans via
e-mail at metrodevreviews.dol@state.mn.us provided that each separate e-
mail is under 20 megabytes.
2. Three (3) sets of full size plans. Although submitting seven sets of full size
plans will expedite the review process. Plans can be sent to:
MnDOT — Metro District Planning Section
Development Reviews Coordinator
1500 West County Road B-2
Roseville, MN 55113
3. One (1) compact disc.
4. Plans can also be submitted to MnDOT's External FTP Site. Please send files
to: ftn:/ft2.dot.state.mn.us/pub/incoming/MetroWatersEdge/Plannine
Internet Explorer doesn't work using ftp so please use an FTP Client or your
Windows Explorer (My Computer). Also, please send a note to
metrodevreviews.dotAastate.mn.us indicating that the plans have been
submitted on the FTP site.
If you have any questions concerning this review, please feel free to contact me at
(651) 234-7794.

Tod Sherman

RE: development of area S of 86th st
The developer will be required to install a sound wall along Highway 212. Access to the site is limited but we will do
everything we can to minimize wetland impacts. The developer will be required to add landscaping to the site. As I
mentioned before, this is a concept and I will attach your comments to the staff report.

Subject: RE: development of area S of 86th st
Hi, I looked at the plans. Why destroy part of the wetland area by putting a road thru it, what if that pond flooded, there
is no other way out. Wouldn't a better plan be to put the road across from from lot 6 and 7, shorter road to development
it doesn't destroy a good piece of the wetland. It doesn't impact our neighborhood, although traffic would increase along
86th st plus it would then cost less. Leave the wetland area alone.
Another point to make would be the noise from 212. I hear traffic from my place, there is no noise reduction wall along
this section, there's only a fence, that would have to be built. I would never buy anything in that area because of that.
When I purchased my townhouse, I paid at least $5-6,000 more for the exact layout as another in this area because of
the wooded area behind it. Like I said this will decrease the value of our property along Rice Court. Plus I like the privacy
here as do my neighbors. We enjoy watching the wildlife. I have lived here since these townhomes have been built
because of this, almost 17 yrs.
There have been too many areas in Chanhassen that have been clear cut , beautiful old trees cut down. This needs to
stop, We need to protect these areas.
Thank you for considering this.

Importance: High
Hi,
I live on Rice Court in Chanhassen which backs up to the proposed development area called Preserve at Rice Lake. I am
concerned about what will happen to the pond area and the tree line between my place and this area. There is a lot of
wildlife in this area and do not want this to be affected. Also this will decrease the value of my home. The reason I
taught this place was because it backed up to a natural area. We CAN NOT destroy these areas.
I will not be able to make the Jan 15 meeting due to being out of the state
Please let me know the plans for this area
Thanks,
Karen

Wetland Delineation Report

Looking West Across the Site From Wetland C
Wetland Delineation Report
Chanhassen Site
Chanhassen, Minnesota
May 24, 2011
Background
Graham Environmental Services, Inc. (GES) "a retained to complete a
site evaluation for jurisdictional wetlands on a parcel located in part of the
NW'/. NE % and part of the NE % NSW %of Section 24, Tl 16N, R23W,
Carver County. The site lies immediately north of Highway 212 and south
of W. 86" Street in the City of Chanhassen (Figure 1). As shown on the
U.S.G.S. Quadrangle map (Figure 2), the topography on the site is rolling.
On April 28 and May 4, 2011, GES conducted an evaluation of the site
and delineated five wetlands within the project vicinity as shown on a
recent aerial photograph in Figure 3.
Methodologies
The site was assessed for wetlands using the on-site methods contained
in the 'Routine Determinations" section of the U.S. Any Corps of
Engineers' Wetlands Delineation Manuar (Technical Report V-87-1,
1987), as well as "Intenm Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers
Wetlands Delineation Manual: Midwest Region' (U.S, Army Corps of Engineers,
2010). This is the methodology currently used to determine wetlands by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers for implementation of Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act and by Local Government Units under the Wetland Conservation Ad.
GES classified the wetlands under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
TM) Cowardin system, Circular 39 and Eggers and Reed
methodologies. Soil colors described herein follow Munsell Soil Color
Charts. Hydric soil properties described follow Field Indicators of Hydric
Soils in the United States (Untied States Department of Agriculture,
Natural Resources Conservation Service. 2010. Field Indicators of Hydric
Soils in the United States, Version 7.0. L.M. Vasiliss, G.W. Hurt and C.V.
Noble (eds.). USDA, NRCS, in cooperation with the National Technical
Committee for Hydric Soils).

Results
GES identified five wetlands within the property boundaries as discussed
below.
Welland A
Wetland A is located across much o1 the northern portion of the site. The
wetland is bounded by relatively gradual grades on all sides except the
west which is defined by a constructed berm. The uplandhvetland
boundary, was investigated along a single transect on the southern
boundary. A drainage ditch drains the wetland and flows to the east.
Dominant vegetation in the wegand includes read canary grass (Phalaris
arundinacea) and sandbar willow (Salix interior). Upland vegetation is
dominated by Kentucky bluegrass (Poe pratensis) and Canada goldenrod
(Solidago canadensis).
Soils were evaluated by digging soil pits along a transect perpendicular to
the wetland/upland boundary and examining the profile's texture, color,
and redoximorphic characteristics. Soils in the wetland in Transect 1 are
described as 10 YR 3/2 loam over 1 OYR 5/1 silt loam with 1 OYR 4/6
mottles over 10YR 3/1 silt loam with 10YR 4/6 mottes over N 2/0 silt loam.
Surface water measured approximately three inches in depth. Upland
soils at Transact 1 are described as 1 OYR 3/2 sandy loam over 1 OYR 4/3
sandy loam. No free water or saturation was observed in the upland soil
pit.
The jurisdictional boundary was established where the soil profile in the
upland soils demonstrates a lighter matrix tone, there is a change in plant
Communities, hydrology indicators are absent in the upland and a change
in topography occurs.
The National Wetlands Inventory map (Figure 4) is generally consistent
with our wetland delineation. Like the NWI, we would classify the wetland
as seasonally flooded palustrine emergent drained (FEMCd) under the
Cowardin system which would equate to Type 3 inland shallow fresh
marsh under the Circular 39 system and Shallow Marsh If 313) under the
Eggers and Read system.
The Carver County Soil Survey (Figure 5) shows the soils in the vicinity of
Wetland A to be Glencoe clay loam and Hamel loam. The Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources Protected Waters Inventory (Figure 6)
does not map Wetland A as a protected water or wetland.

Wetland B
Wetland B is in the eastern portion of the site and was examined along a
single transect in its "stem boundary. Dominant vegetation in the
wetland includes box elder (Acernegundo), green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica), common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) and lake sedge
(Carex lacusMs). Dominant upland vegetation includes green ash and
Kentucky bluegrass.
Soils were evaluated by digging soil pits along a transect perpendicular to
the wetland/upland boundary and examining the profile's texture, Color,
and redoximorphic characteristics. Soils in the wetland are described as
10YR 2/1 silt loam over 10YR 5/1 Gay loam. Surface water was estimated
to be approximately two inches in depth. Upland soils at Transect 1 are
described as 1 OYR 3/2 silt loam. No free water or saturation was
observed in the upland soil pit.
The jurisdictional boundary was established where the soil profile in the
upland soils demonstrates a lighter matrix tone, there is a change in plant
communities, hydrology indicators are absent in the upland and a
relatively abrupt change in topography occurs.
The National Wetlands Inventory map (Figure 4) is generally consistent
with our wetland delineation. Like the NWI, we would classify the wetland
as seasonally flooded palustrine emergent (PEMC) under the Cowardin
system which would equate to Type 3 inland shallow fresh marsh under
the Circular 39 system and Shallow Marsh (1313) under the Eggers and
Reed system.
The Carver County Soil Sunray (Figure 5) shows the soils in the vicinity of
Wetland B Transect 1 to be Hamel loam. The Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources Protected Waters Inventory (Figure 6) does not map
Wetland B.
Wetland C
Wetland C is a small wetland in the southeastern part of the site.
Dominant vegetation in the wetland includes reed canary grass. Upland
vegetation is dominated by green ash, smooth brume (Bromus inemiis)
and Canada goldenrod.
Soils were evaluated by digging soil pits along a transect perpendicular to
the wetland/upland boundary and examining the profile's texture, color,
and redoximorphic characteristics. Soils in the wetland are described as
tOYR 2/1 silt loam with 10YR 4/6 mottles over N 2/0 silt loam over tOYR
411 clay loam with 1 OYR 416 mottles. Surface water was estimated to be

SUBJECT: Preserve at Rice Lake (Formerly Knoblauch Building)
MnDOT Review # S 12-058
North side of US 212, east of TH 101
Chanhassen, Carver County
Control Section 1013
Dear Ms. Sharmeen Al -Jaffa
Thank you for the opportunity to review the Preserve at Rice Lake (Formerly Knoblauch
Building) plans. Since the current plans remain quite similar to the previous plans, our
comments remain the same. They are as follows:
Design:
The proposed walk and street are very close to MnDOT right of way and will require a
grading plan to determine if there are highway impacts.
For questions concerning this subject, please contact Nancy Jacobson, (651-234-7647 or
nancyjacobson@,gate.tnn.us) in the Metro Design Section.
Water Resources:
A MnDOT drainage permit will be required. The drainage permit application form can
be found at http://vmkv.dot.state.mn.us/utility/forms/index.htnil.
The following information is required with the drainage permit application:
• Final drainage plan showing storm sewer plan, storm sewer and culvert profiles
and pond contours
• Existing and proposed drainage area maps with flow arrows
• Existing and proposed drainagelpond computations for the 2, 10, and 100 year
rainfall events
Addition information may be required once a drainage permit is submitted and after a
detailed review. MnDOT will not allow an increase in discharge to MnDOT right-of-way.
Please direct any questions regarding these issues to Hailu Shekur (651-234-7521 or
hailu.sheku cr state.mn.us ) of MnDOT's Water Resources Engineering section.
Permits and Right -of -Way:
In addition to the drainage permit, a Limited Use Permit would be needed if any
sidewalk/trail is within MnDOT right-of-way.
The applicant will need to go through the Limited Use Permit process. Please contact
Dan Phelps (651-234-7585 or dan.phel s a,state.mn.us).
The proposed development must not extend into MnDOT right-of-way. Also, any use of
or work affecting MnDOT Right-of-way and/or utilities requires a permit. Permit forms
are available from MnDOT's permit website at ham://www.dot.state.mn.us/permits/.
Please include one 1 I x 17 plan set and one full size plan set with each permit
application. Please direct any questions regarding permit requirements to Buck Craig
(651-234-7911 or buck.craigna state.mn.us) of MnDOT's Metro Permits Section.
Noise:
MnDOT's policy is to assist local governments in promoting compatibility between land
use and highways. Residential uses located adjacent to highways often result in
complaints about traffic noise. Traffic noise from this highway could exceed noise
standards established by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Department of
Transportation. Minnesota Rule 7030.0030 states that municipalities are responsible for
taking all reasonable measures to prevent land use activities listed in the MPCA's Noise
Area Classification (NAC) where the establishment of the land use would result in
violations of established noise standards.
MnDOT policy regarding development adjacent to existing highways prohibits the
expenditure of highway funds for noise mitigation measures in such areas. The project
proposer should assess the noise situation and take the action deemed necessary to
minimize the impact of any highway noise. If you have any questions regarding
MnDOTS noise policy please contact Peter Wasko in our Design section at (651) 234-
7681.
Review Submittal Options:
MnDOT's goal is to complete the review of plans within 30 days. Submittals sent in
electronically can usually be turned around faster. There are four submittal options.
Please submit either:
1. One (1) electronic pdf. version of the plans. MnDOT can accept the plans via
e-mail at metrodevreviews.dot@,,state.mn.us provided that each separate e-
mail is under 20 megabytes.
2. Three (3) sets of full size plans. Although submitting seven sets of full size
plans will expedite the review process. Plans can be sent to:

Subject: RE: development of area S of 86th st
Hi, I looked at the plans. Why destroy part of the wetland area by putting a road thru it, what if that pond flooded, there
is no other way out. Wouldn't a better plan be to put the road across from from lot 6 and 7, shorter road to development
it doesn't destroy a good piece of the wetland. It doesn't impact our neighborhood, although traffic would increase along
86th st plus it would then cost less. Leave the wetland area alone.
Another point to make would be the noise from 212. I hear traffic from my place, there is no noise reduction wall along
this section, there's only a fence, that would have to be built. I would never buy anything in that area because of that.
When I purchased my townhouse, I paid at least $5-6,000 more for the exact layout as another in this area because of
the wooded area behind it. Like I said this will decrease the value of our property along Rice Court. Plus I like the privacy
here as do my neighbors. We enjoy watching the wildlife. I have lived here since these townhomes have been built
because of this, almost 17 yrs.
There have been too many areas in Chanhassen that have been clear cut , beautiful old trees cut down. This needs to
stop, We need to protect these areas.
Thank you for considering this
Karen

Importance: High
Hi,
I live on Rice Court in Chanhassen which backs up to the proposed development area called Preserve at Rice Lake. I am
concerned about what will happen to the pond area and the tree line between my place and this area. There is a lot of
wildlife in this area and do not want this to be affected. Also this will decrease the value of my home. The reason I
bought this place was because it backed up to a natural area. We CAN NOT destroy these areas.
I will not be able to make the Jan 15 meeting due to being out of the state
Please let me know the plans for this area
Thanks,
Karen
