EXECUTIVE SUMMA_RY
The developer, Helsene Partners, T J12, and Steiner Development, Inc., is
requesting an amendment to the PUD design stan~ to permit Personal Services
on the support commercial lots within the development, site plan approval for a
10,366 square foot, one-story building, and a sign variance request to permit
signage on four sides of the building. The proposed development consists of a
one-story, brick building with asphalt shingled, pitched roof for multiple tenants.
The site is accessed via shared driveways off Corpomm Place and Centt~
Boulevard with cross access agreements with the other two lots in the subdivision.
Originally, the request including an amendment to tnmxfit a drive through window
for a fast food ~tatmmt, but the applicant has withdrawn that portion of their
request for this amendment. Both staff and the Planning Commi.~ion
recommended denial of the amendment for the drive though window.
Amhitectumlly, staff has noted that the developer must add windows to the east
and south elevations. Otherwise, the building complies with the appropriate
design standards. Staff will work with the developer to assure that the internal
sidewalk system will be aligned with the adjacent properties.
Staff is recommending approval of the amendment to the PUD to permit
personal services as a commexcial use within the development, approval of the
site plan subject to the conditions outlined below, and approval of the sign
variance permitting signage on the west side of the building which does not have
street frontage (this would allow signage on three sides of the building).
The Planning Commission concurred with the amendment permitting personal
services, approved the site plan with the odrlition of three conditions, two of
which staff has included in the recommendation, and failed to approve a motion
on the sign variance. Regarding the Planning Commission condition requiring
the closure of the median opening on Century Boulevard, staff cannot support
the condition since the median opening was approved as part of the subdivision
of the property and its closure or rem~ning open is a condition of the
development conwact, not subject to an individual property's site plan review.
The Planning Commission stre.&qed the importance of sidewalks. They requested
that City Council look at options for in~g connectivity between the different

properties and the possibility of a sidewalk along the west side of Centu~ Boulevard. Sidewalk and
trail improvements on Century Boulevard and ~ Place were approved as part of the
Arboretum Business Park 4"' Addition. At that time, trails on the north aide of Corporam Place and
the east side of Century Boulevard were approved. As part of the Highway 5/West 78m Street
project, trails were incorporated on the east side of Century Boulevard with a cross walk and
signalization for crossing Highway 5 at this location. A large storm water pond is located on the
west side of Century Boulevard, north of Hiqway 5. Pedes~an circulation was anticipated on the
east side of Century Boulevard from West 78 Street to 82~ Street. A trail is located in Coulter
Boulevard going to the east and a sidewalk is extended on the south side of Water Tower Place west
to the cul-de-sac. A trail system will circle the wetland complex on the east side of Centu~
Boulevard. Pedestrian ramps are located at Corpon~ Place crossing Centu~ Boulevard in an east-
west direction. An internal sidewalk system is being developed, connecting the lots in the 4m
Addition to the public trail systerm
The Planning Commission had four different opinions regarding the sign variance. One believed
the variance should be denied with signage permitted on street frontage only. One con~
with staff recommendation to permit signage on the west elevation. One wanted to approve the
sign variance provided that two wall signs from the same tenant were not visible at the same
time. One believed that wall signage should be permitted on all four sides of the building.

Blackowiak: Okay Bob, I'm just going to jun~ in before anybody else and ask, can you walk us
through. We've gotten several documents today from you. What changes do we need to be aware of? I
just want to make sure we're all on the same page before we start a discussion here.
Generous: The one document I sent, the last one was the Findings of Fact and I just expanded on that.
The city attorney wanted me to address both of the amendments and also the variance criteria and so I
tried to incorporate that as part of the Findings of Fact. The other thing was just the existing design
standards for the project. What they're proposing would change Section B of the development design
standards which talks about permitted uses. Specifically under the commew~ uses, we would odd a 6
category personal services. And that's what we're recommending approval of that. They also requested
an amendment under ancillary uses with fast food th~ we permit a drive thru f~qJity as part of the lot,
what is it? Lot 2, Block 1. And we're recommending denial of that portion of it.
Blackowiak: Okay. And then this sign variance. It would be just signage on the east and west fides
then?
Generous: Well it would be a variance to permit it on the west side. It's permitted on the east and south
by ordinance.
Blackowiak: East and south. So the variance, so two sides?
Generous: Well it would permit, you could, it's set up either way. If you want it on only two, the,~ direct
it instead of having it on the south side.
Blackowiak: I'm just thinking Giant Panda all over again so.
Generous: That was part of what I was thinking so the first two sides are permitted by ordinanc~ If you
permit it on the third side, that would be the variance. And that's what we had recommended.
Blackowiak: So we could do variance, we could either then have two options.
Generous: Right.
Blackowiak: Variance to permit on third side. In other words, have 3 si~, or variance to permit on
west side but only 2 sides excluding the south side.
Generous: South and north, correct.
Blackowiak: Got it. Okay. Now, questions. Uli, would you like to start?

Planning Commission Meeting - March 18, 2003
Sacchet: Yeah, I've got a couple of questions that should not be too painful thi.~ time. Actually my first
question, it looks like Steiner Development is always last on the agenda. Do they like to be up late at
night? You're talking about on top of page 2 when you talk about the personal services to be allowed on
vacant support comnxa~ial lots. Pltwal. And then actually in the proposed reconnnendation you're
talking about Lot 2, Block 1, 2"" Addition and Lot 2, Block 1 4~ Addition. Could you point out, it seems
to apply to two lots .... two lots, I'd like to know where the second one is.
Generous: The 2~ Addition is down on 82~d Street. It's next to the Citgo site. That's guided for
conunerciai uses. This is the 4~' Addition, and actually they talk about the Outlot D which is part of their
original plat as in their letter. I just, I shortened it to just the commercial properties which are those, well
yeah there's more.
Sacchet: So what will it apply to?
Blackowiak: Can you put a little star on it for us or something? So that one, yeah.
Sacchet: The one that we're considering, plus the one across the...so it's actually 3. Lots, okay.
Blackowialc So that's just by doing commercial. By stating co~, is that
Generous: Right. Well technically the way, if you just put it under commewial uses, that would add 3
more lots then. The existing Citgo but they're existing developments.
Sacchet: And that would be the other 3 that, so it applies to 6 lots?
Generous: Yeah...
Sacchet: The one we're looking at plus 2 more. Okay. That answers that question. Thank you. The
access from Century Boulevard is, that says may be li~ted to right-in/fight-out. We went back and forth
on that several times over the past. Right now there may be means it's actually allowed?
Generous: Correct.
Sacchet: But that could potentially be cut out.
Generous: Right. It was under the subdivision they determined standards for if it was.
Sacchet: Similar to what's on page 6, staff reconvnends Type H silt fence. Recommends. Well are we
asking for it or not?
Lillehaug: It's conditioned.
Sacchet: It's a condition? It's under conditions? Alright That answers that The applicant, the way I
read the plans, I don't see a drive thru window. Has that already been withdrawn? That's being cut out,
thank you very much. That helps. I believe that's my questions. Thank you very much.
Blackowiak: Thanks. Rich.
Slagle: Quick question on sidewalls. As I drove through there today, I know we have the sidewalk
running north/south on the east side of Century Boulevard. And I remember when we had US Bank
proposal, the idea was to nm a sidewalk across. Well, it was a desire. Help me out how the sidewalks are
going to work here.
58
Planning Commission Meefng - March 18, 2003
Generous: Well for the US Bank it's approximm_oly in this location. We want to line up a connection
and they have pedestrian ramps on the US Bank site and so wherever that would line up we would have
another pedestrian ramp on this building.
Slagle: Pedeslrian ramp, define that.
Generous: That's where they slope the sidewalk down so it's at gra_de. So you can take a bicycle or a
stroller or something up it.
Slagle: Okay.
Generous: And then the other one we wanted to extend it to the west because as part of the Kinde~a~re
they have a peninsula that comes out with the sidewalk and it's providing connection to this site and the
US Bank site. And then on the Kindere, am site there's another one that goes down to Corporate Place.
And then right here they're proposing an additional one on the south side of building to Corporate Place
which has a sidewalk trail in there.
Slagle: Okay. So just so I'm clear on Corporate Way on the north side there will be a sidewalk going to
Century, correct?
Generous: Correct.
Slagle: And then on the north side of this property where US Bank is, are you saying that there is a
sidewalk on the north side of that road?
Generous: No. They're across this drive aisle and then take the sidewalk on the north side of this
building to the west.
Slagle: I'm just asking, you're one of the folks living at Pulte. You go down the east side of Century.
Where do you cross over and what sidewalk takes you into the.
Generous: Corporate Place.
Slagle: So you have to go south of this, cross over and then go up?
Generous: Correct.
$1agle: How do you feel about that?
Generous: It's better than nothing.
Slagle: What about a sidewalk, I mean let's get to the US Bank. You can't, so you're going to cross
them, you know you're crossing the road and you're walking into a parking lot without a sidewalk. How
do you get to the KinderCam? I mean if you're walking fi'om Century.
Generous: You would just follow it over.
Slagle: You just walk along the edge of the road?
Generous: There's a sidewalk there.
59
Planning Commission Meeting - March 18, 2003
Slagle: No, south. Well let me say it this way. To get to US Bank is maybe the best question. You can't
get in there with a sidewalk, is that safe to say.
Fred Richter: It isn't the shortest mute but you can get there through a sidewalk system. Basically, from
Pulte. Down Century. Across at the safest crosswalk.
Slagle: Which is Corporate Way south of US.
Fred Richter: Up here and around this building, which is a pedestrian scale building instead of a retail
type building, and then across and into the bank. Now it's not the most direct, but it definitely is a
sidewalk just as KinderCare's up on here...
Generous: And then there's an east/west internally.
Slagle: I mean all i'm asking is, as we go forward with more, I just think ['d love to see sidewalks be put
in each of these properties to make it so convenient to walk. I mean because you could argue that people
are going to be walking to go to US Bank and maybe whatever else you guys develop to the west. And
you would have to go down Century to get in there, and if ~ Way's the main entrance, then it is
yeah. That's all.
Blackowialc Okay, Steve.
Lillehaug: So you've indicated that the window is going to be gone. Or you haven't but they have. I
want to address that question to them. Let's just back up. You know I don't have any questiom for staff.
That's it.
Blackowialc Okay. I don't either. Would the applicant or their designee like to make a presentation?
Name and address please.
Fred Richter: Fred Richter with Steiner Development and I am representing the building owners, Gene
and Chris Helsene. The Helsene Parmers own a hair salon at several locations. They're currently in Eden
Prain'e .... this building will occupy approximately 2,500 square feet of it as their office space and hair
salon. In addition to that, they have a leasing company who has been negotiating with various potential
tenants. The building is designed to be a 10,000 approximately square foot kind of support sexvice
building for the Arboretum Business Park, and consequently that's why we wanted to broaden that
service definition. The typical tenant could be a sit down Subway restatwam. Small medical building. A
small office building and so on. While when we started the project they wanted to maximize their
potential, leasing agents had a deal with Subway driven with a drive thru window. Working with slaff,
back and forth with the tenant it became quite obvious they could meet the market, and everybody happy
and we abandoned the drive thru window. The other change was the rotation, and that was a kind of
response to the traffic engineers. City engineer wanting to rninimiTe the back up into the comrrrm area.
These would be driveway. And that was satisfactory to the building owners. Their concern was the
exposure to Century. Exposure to Highway 5 and ~ Place and they felt the rotation was adequate
and the plan works quite well. it kept our parking ratio. There is one thing Bob, i'll just state that we will
get on the drawing. We will have trash enclosmes, and that was my fault that we forgot to put it on there.
We've got revised plan that showed it than the earlier one.
Lillehaug: Could you point to that again please?
Planning Commission Meeting - March 18, 2003
Fred Richter. We'll put a trash enclosure...comer, which would be a per code, you know building
material, so on and so on. I think other than that, we haven't talked about mst_,~ials. I will put down, I
think given what got a copy, this is still accurate. The building's just rotated. This would be viewed out
from the southwest versus the original rendering from the so~. The building is basically the same
materials, features and design elements of the bank building. And which is real close to the KindeaCare
building. So we really have tried to take in the office industrial park and create this small retail area of
red brick, sloped roofs and some drivit gables and all to try and keep a consistency. Landscaping will
follow code. There's examples which I think you've all seen saying basically this kind of change. It's
the exact same thing as was done on US Bank. The KindelCare is just a touch different on the shingles
and the brick. I think unless there's questions.
Slagle: I've got a question. Fred I just have to ask. As I look at page 2 of this, and FI1 make just an
assumption that somehow I could convince you or we could convince you to put a sidewalk on the west
side of Century and the US Bank. Okay. Let's assume for a second. As 1 look at here, I mean if you had
a sidewalk up there you could put a sidewalk on this ~. I mean tell me why you wouldn't other
than cost.
Fred Richter: Well Rich this, and I think I'm partners with the staff on this. This whole sidewalk issue
was something that was assessed on our street i ,mprovemen~ and was planned out in the big picture. You
know moving traffic across Century. Sidewalks going back to the east on Coulter. And then distributing
it into basically an office industrial, large building environment And I think that infrastructure was kind
of laid in place and a lot of people looked at it and the best investment was on the east side because it was
near the wetlands. It hooked up to the potential park. There was a bunch of reasons that that went over
there, and that was a pretty costly investment. We're sitting here today connecting to that and I think in
the context of the pedestrian scale, and I think ~ scale in a development lilm this is you know,
kind of a frontier. I mean we all are trying to encourage it with bike racks and everything. I really feel
we've got a good solution and if we start to get some complaints or that in the future, but I think fight
now we've addressed pedestrians probably as well as any development of this scale. And it's, I mean a
big deal to come back and put the sidewalk in them. It's basically a city i ,ml~'ovement because it would
be back in the right-of-way and.
Slagle: Well let me just throw this last thought out is, as I see the development going on to the west in
your remaining, primarily to the west. I think you're going to end up with some major tenant, which
we've talked about. Which to me will probably mean people. Cars. And I just think it's going to be one
of those things where people at lunchtime are going to go, you know.
Fred Richten. To the west, the sidewalk goes back them.
Slagle: No, I'm talking to the east. I'm talking to the east. Your development to the west Fred, the
people will be going to the east and I know you'll have the sidewalk on Corpomm Way. What I'm trying
to just say, and I'm probably doing a terrible job is, is I just am asking you to be very cognizant as we
move forward to the west. Lot 5. The big one. I mean I'm just saying you're going to have people
hope~ly wanting to walk to go down by those ponds, and what not.
Fred Richter: Well Rich I think we've., you realize this, and if I we~ to give a dark pen or something.
Our sidewalk comes here. Connects along here and then there's a lot of fima-e potential trail that can be
developed as park district i .mprovements around the wetlands. This is...
Slagle: I'm with you Fred but when you described to me earlier that you would walk down the east side
of Century, cross over, go to this building. Cross over their parking lot. Walk along the edge of their
building to get to US Bank: I'm specifically saying US Bank. We mi~xl that oppommity in my opinion
to place.
61
Planning Commission Meeting - March 18, 2003
Fred Richtel~. Rich I don't dispute that because in the plan this was one large lot but I think we've really
accommodated through a very, well we took what might have been as a negative as you're walking
around a retail building, almost like a downtown stomf:ro~
Slagle: But with drive thru.
Fred Richter: No, no drive thru.
Slagle: No, no, US Bank I'm suggesting. You've got 4 lanes of cars.
Fred Richter: Okay. Well.
Slagle: Fred. Fred, I just want to, we don't have to, it's so late but I just want you to know that I'm
asking for everything you can do to be cognizant of my request
Fred Richter. And I think that the staff keeps our attention on that, but I really think given the paxll/neters
and all, we're really in pretty good shape on this one.
Slagle: Okay, I will trust you on thaC
Fred Richter: This is not the exact diagram This building has changed but basically we're, this is the
sidewalk. We're coming up, around the building and then connecting into US Bank.
Slagle: Okay, and I'm just saying that as a citizen I would think gosh, you would just go out the bank.
Hit the sidewalk going to Century on the, you know right them. Exactly, and then cross over. Or go up.
You know. And it might be a total of 30 yards of concrete, I don't know.
Fred Richter: But then we're putting people in the middle of traffic movements. I'm not the one to make
these. These are you know en~neering and safety.
Slagle: Well what you could have done is you could have gone the sidewalk~, to Century and then down
on the side of this property versus having to walk: I'm just thinking it's crazy to have someone walk
through, across a parking lot. Walk along this side of the building and then cross that parking lot again on
the north side to get to another building.
Fred Richter. Okay. Do you have any thoughts on that?
Generous: Well I would bring it back to the front. I might pull it over so it's more a straight shot so
they're not doing the jog but.
Slagle: Whatever, it's.
Fred Richter: Let me just, get me going, I'm going to keep going. Laying out these sidewallm, and I
learned something. Our civil engineer, you know we really, I mean it's really, that being 5 pemem. If we
go over 5 percent and you go onto private land and they say well you have liability issues. It's not as
easy, especially with the topography in the Arboretum Business Park. We have to bring it up from the
comer because there's a grade change at the comer, and all I' m saying Rich is I'm just trying to educam
you that there's just a whole bunch of parame~ to make these sidewalks work that you know, have to
please good intentions, and then good engineering standards and you know the private property owner on
liability issues. And we just try to do our best.
Planning Commission Meeting - March 18, 2003
Blackowialc Rich was in Fargo today, you have to understand. They have sidewalks everywhere so.
Slagle: It's unbelievable how many sidewalks they have, and it's quite amazing.
Fred Richter: I respect your objectives are perfectly, you know proper. It's just the irr~. lementafion is
sometimes more complicated.
Sacchct: One really quick one. I fully support the ~rr?ortant of sidewalks in consi~on, but ~ on
the other hand I would also want to caution us to consider a crossing of the street whe~ we have a may be
full turning or not. I mean that doesn't sound to me like th~'s necessarily the safest place to put a
crosswalk.
$1agle: I'm not suggesting crossing Cenun'y.
Sacchet: Oh you're not, okay.
Slagle: I'm saying go...north/so~ on the west side of Century.
Nred Richter: Hopefully in a few years ~cre's enough denmnd to say that we can do that.
Sacchex: Th~'s all for that.
Blackowiak: Any other questions? No? Okay. Any questions Steve?
Lillehaug: Yes. So the drive aisle has moved to the south of thc bulldog.
Nred Richter: No.
Lillehaug: I said drive aisle.
Nred Richter:. Yeah, tha~ is a one way to acco~~t~- so there's no dead end park~g.
Lillehaug: It's not for a future drive thru?
Nred Richten It's not for a future dr~ve thru.
Lillehaug: But it is necessary to maint~ there.
Nred Richter: Yes.
Lillehaug: Okay. That's all my questions.
Nred Richter:. And I tM~k one of the biggest issues was the signage, aud I know because of the
uniqueness of this building being a building with 4 sides, and a building with the gables, I mean they're
really kind of designed into the architecun'e. I know the owner would ~ke as much consi~on as
possible to get signage in all the ~bles if possible, and staff h~s been a~,~mx~da~g, I know the
ordinance talks about the two street frontages, but in this parti~ building it's kind of you know not
really in the spirit of how the project's designed so. I think the way it sits now, staff's allowing or
mcomn~nding signage on ~ sides, the south, the east and we, s~ The owner would like to h~ve siguage on
4 sides. The logic being that with tbi~ small building, potential tenants at each of these gabled entrances.
63
Planning Commission Meeting - March 18, 2003
And the signage you know that is sized and everything so it fits in ~ and certain dimensions. Right
Bob?
Generous: Well comply with the ordinance.
Blackowiak: Okay. That was actually my only question was regarding what the applicant wanted for
signs and I don't know if he wants to speak but.
Gene Helsene: Gene Helsene and my son Chris, and what we're looking at is on the south side of the
building, which is the end because we flip flop the building is that is up against the street. The ncgth side
is up against Highway 5 to be seen for more exposure so we're looking at that to be helping us with the
leasing and people. That's the reason we're looking at those two ends.
Chris Helsene: And hopefully avoid the Panda situation where if somebody doesn't have signage on that
end gable, they won't be plastering the window.
Gene Helsene: Try to keep it as clean as we cam. We want to, that's one way of doing it. Keeping thc
signage in the gables and not putting signage in the windows. We don't want that as owners. Tenants or
the city doesn't want it either.
Blackowialc Okay, thank you. Any other questions here? Okay, thank you. This item is open for a
public hearing. I know there's no public left. I still have to say it though- Public hearing is closed.
Commissioners, time for comments.
Lillehaug: I can go first. I can't support the sign variance. Based on the c~linances I don't think, I just
don't think I can support it, especially with what was presented to us earlier tonight. I think that needs to
go to the City Council. I'll be adding a condition for access, and this would be, I think it's a liability issue
for the City of Chanhassen and that's that right-in/right-out them. I'm going to add a condition indicating
that that median needs to be closed. A one way sign added. And it's not an LOS standard. Level of
Service standard at that intersection, so that would be my comment there. My other comment is, I'm very
appreciative of these plans. They're very complete compared to what we previously have seen tonight,
and I comnmnd the applicants on preparation of the plans. Thank you.
Blackowialc Okay, thank you. Uli.
Sacchet: I want to thank you for hanging in so late, and not for the first time. I don't have too many
conunents. I do believe, we don't have a silt fence condition, at least not that I've found it. I'd like to
add that with the situation also that it will come down when completion is, construction complete.., tn
terms of the sign variance. I'm inclined to support the sign variance for a building like that, that's a
multi-tenant. That building in a similar framework as it was originally laid out in the...building because
you have a long building where you possibly end up with some tenants that are sandwiched between the
ends, so you have the issue of what you see from the street. What you see from the parking lot side. I
would however want to put a condition on it that no one tenant could have 'sign~ that are visible at the
same time. That's what ~ally urked me the most with the Panda situation~ You Illin'ally see two signs at
the same time. So I would want to put that limitation on the...
Blackowiak: Okay. Can you look at that, so that would not be acceptable is what you're telling me.
Sacchet: That would not be, right no. ff they have a sign here.
Blackowiak: What if they have half the building, and they have two entrances.
Planning Commission Meeting - March 18, 2003
Sacchet: If they have two entrances then I would consider it.
Blackowiak: I'm sorry, I have to play devil's advocate. No...
Slagle: Couldn't you just limit it to the number of entrances?
Sacchet: A sign per entrance. Well.
Slagle: Because I mean you're not going to have, I would hope you wouldn't have a company's logo
above a gable that someone else.
Sacchet: That they're not in there, right. Right. But we're already restricting the signage on the north
side.
Blackowiak: But that north would probably have two I would guess.
Slagle: One or two gables on the north?
Fred Richter. One.
Sacchec One on the not~ side, so I go along with the recommendation to deny that because even though
you may argue that's visible fi'om Highway 5, it's also screened from the back. And drivin~ by you
actually end up seeing the side I would expect People are not, it's tricky because, I rather would, I do
think I'd like a condition to not see double signage for the same owner. And if there is a real issue or
somebody ends up with half the building, I would rather have them come back and ask for a variance
rather than leave it open at this point. That's my position.
Blackowialc Okay, let's hear from Rich. What do you, any thoughts on that?
Slagle: You know, actually I'm in favor of granting the variance for signage on all 4 sides because of the
construction of the building. My only question is, is how to do, how to limit a like company with
multiple entrances, h~ other words you know, can they have 2 signs or 3 sins. I mean it's similar to that,
what we looked at earlier today with each individual business having a sign.
Sacchet: May I?
Blackowiak: C~o ahead.
Sacchet: The way I see the condition that no multiple signage is visible at the same time is because if one
tenant ends up with that building, they could have a sign on the Century Boulevard and on the paricing lot
side. They could have multiple sins, but they couldn't have then kitty comer so you see them at the
same time. So ! think that would keep the balance. ~t would be in my opinion consistent with what's
being applied in some of the other cases amun&
Blackowialc ! guess I don't understand you. So if I stood at thi~ corner, out here in the parlcin~ lot !
could see both of these at the same time.
Sacchet: Right. But if the other sign would be on the other opposite, that'd be alright but thig would not
be.
65
Planning Commission Meeting - March 18, 2003
Blackowiak: But you told me you couldn;t see any two sims at the same time.
Sacchet: I don't want to see two for the same tenant at the same time.
Blackowialc But I can.
Sacchet: But you do see, that's why I'm saying. That does apply. But if it's on the opposite side of the
building, not here but on the gable on the other side, that'd be cool Because if it's opposite side of, like
we looked at Buffalo Wings, there's no way you see both signs at the same.
Blackowialc No, I understand that.
Sacchet: Santo idea hem.
Blackowiak: But I mean in that kind of drive it's going to kind of direct their layout of the building.
Slagle: Uli, what if you were looking at a east elevation and you had a tenant that was taking up 2/3 of
the building. They would have the logo above one of these gables which are, divides the building in
thirds, and one of them just wouldn't have anything? Is that what you're saying?
Sacchet: Potentially. Because we said we want, wouldn't necessarily want to...
Blackowialc Well I don't agree with you on that one. I would support a variance for 3 sides. Not the
north side, and let the sign~ whatever. Because if they use let's say, if they have a third of the building,
let's say that a tenant uses 2 sides for office, and a third side for storage and they don't want a sign over
there. What if they want to use these two and you can see them at the same time7
Lillehaug: I think if we knew who the tenants were, or where they occupied the building it'd be more
clear.
Blackowiak: Yeah and we don't know that. Nobody knows that yet.
Lillehaug: Right, and so it's legitimate to deny the vaxiance and allow them to come back and request it
when they do know the more specifics on the sign.
Blackowiak: But then every time a new tenant comes in we have to look at a sign variance7 I don't want
to see them that often. I mean I like you guys but.
Fred Richter. I don't want to be here.
Sacchet: Especially since we're always putting you last.
Lillehaug: I withdraw that then. Scratch that.
Blackowiak: Okay. Well a little discussion. But I would support a sign variance on 3 sides, but not on
the north side. That's where I'm at. So it's 11:00.
Slagle: I'm on 4 sides.
Blackowiak: You're on 4 sides.
Planning Commission Meeting - March 18, 2003
Sacchet: 3 sides. 4 sides. 3 sides with restrictions. 2 sides. So...
Blackowiak: Well then you know what, we'll just make the motiom We'll go through and forward it to
council and they can hash it out.
Slagle: Absolutely.
Sacchet: That's fine. Perfectly fine. Then we'll get out of here.
Blackowiak: So let's start, we need several motions here.
Sacchet: Then I make the motion number A. The Planning Commigsion recommends approval of the
amendment to the Arboretum Business Park Development Design Standards, PUD ~Y2-6, Permitted Uses
to permit Personal Services on Outlot D, Arboretum Business Park, Lot 2, Block 1, Arboretum Business
Park 2~ Addition and Lot 2, Block 1, Arboretum Business Park 4~ Addition.
Slagle: Second.
Sacehet moved, Slagle seconded that tile Planning Commi~ion recommends approval of the
amendment to the Arboretum Business Park Developme~ Design Standards, PUD ~
Permitmi Uses to permit Personal Services on Outiot D, Arboretum Business Park, Lot 2, Block 1,
Arboretum Business Park 2~a Addition and Lot 2, Block 1, Arboretum Business Park 4"' Addition-
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0.
Blackowiak: Next motion please.
Slagle: Is B just wiped out?
Generous: I believe they're withdrawing that portiorr
Blackowiak: You know what, I think we should just then make a comment.
Saccbet: We'll make it just to be clear. The Planning Commi.~sion recommends denial of the amendment
to Arboretum Business Park Development Design Standards, PUD g92-6, Ancillary Uses to permit a
drive through for a fast food restaurant on Lot 2, Block 1, Arboretum Business Park 4a Addition.
Blackowiak: Second.
Sacehet moved, Blackowiak seconded that the Planning Commi~ion re~mmmmls denial of the
amendment to Arboretum Business Park Development Design Standards, PUD #92-6, Ancillary
Uses to permit a drive through for a fast food restaurant on Lot 2, Block 1, Arboretum Business
Park 4a Addition- All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0.
Blackowialc Motion carries 4 to 0 and I'll just note that that amendment, or that amendment to the
business park design standards was withdrawn by the applicant but we're just voting on it anyway.
Because we're here and we stayed so long. Okay. Next please.
Saccbet: Alright, I make a motion that the Planning Commission recommends approval for site plan

Lillehaug: 30. To get an approved pavement section from engineering staff. I don't think I saw one in
there. So I'd like to add that one. And I would like to add number 31. And that would be requiting the
applicant to close the median opening on Centu~ Boulevard at the access between the bank and the
applicant's property.
Sacchet: Yeah, I accept it and I then the council can make the decision. I mean this is for council to
decide, not for us.
Blackowiak: Right. Okay, there's been a motion.
Fred Richter: I think I would like to at least, you know we sat here.
Blackowiak: You know actually, I think you should, let's just let us make our motions tonight and
council will see this and you can make your case.
Sacchet: It's my recollection that that was actually consistent with what the Planning Commission looked
at before and council said it's okay so they can do that again.
Fred Richter: Is that what you recall?
Sacchet: Is that accurate? That's my recollection. I may not be acmxrate but.
Fred Richter. I thought we worked thi.q out with the Planning Commission.
Generous: The City En~neer worked out that language. They've ahe~y...it should be closed down.
Blackowialc Right, and you know what, we can say what we say. What happens at council will happem
I mean we'll just, we'll be consistent.

Planning Commission Meeting - March 18, 2003
Sacchet: Alright, the Planning Commi.~sion reconmaends approval of sign variance to permit wall signage
on the west side of the building, which does not have to be fromage, and denial of the sign variance for
sides on the north side of the building with an added condition that no double signage of the same owner
shall be visible at the same time.
Blackowiak: Okay, there's been a motion. Is there a second? Sorry, I didn't think that was going to fly.
Will you withdraw your motion?
Sac. chex: I withdraw the motion.
Blackowiak: Okay. Somebody else please. Rich.
Slagle: Planning Commi.~sion recommends approval of the sign variance to lXm~t wall signage on all
four sides of the building period.
Blaekowialc Is there a second?
Sac. chex: Can we second it and then vote nay?
Blackowiak: Yes you may. You can second it and vote any way you would like.
Lillehaug: I second that.
Blackowiak: Okay, there's been a motion and a second.
Shgle moved, IAllehug seconded tlmt the Planning Commi~on ree~mmen~ approval of the sign
variance to permit wall signa~ on all four sides of the building. ShOe voted in favor and the rest
opposed. The motion failed with a vote of 1 to 3.
Blackowiak: The motion fails. The vote is 3 to 1 against.
Slagle: Then it goes to council.
Blackowiak: Yep, this all goes to City Council on April 14~.
Sacchex: And you are going to summarize on thi.~ one.
Blackowiak: Yes, thank you very much for coming and to summarize our Planning Commission notes.
Our issues were stressing the i?ortance of sidewalkg. We'd like City Council to look at options far
increasing connectivity between the different properties and the possibility of a sidewalk along the west
side of Century Boulevard. Number two, we agree with staff on motions A, B and C. Personal services.
Denial of fast food restaurant, which the applicant has since withdra~ and C, approval of site plan. We
disagree with staff on the sign variance, but couldn't come to an agreement on where that should go. And
our work with staff item is the trash onclosure and we hope that that will get taken care of before City
Council. Steve, anything to add?
Lillehaug: Just on sign variance. I think in sticking with the ordinance that it should be withheld.
Blackowiak: Okay. Uli.
71
Planning Commission Meeting - March 18, 2003
Sacchet: Yeah, the sign variance. My position is based on...of what we discussed in the earlier cases is I
believe that signage on opposite sides of the building for the same owner is alright. In a ~ case or
somewhere it seems to be in order but since it's not clear enough I don't want to just leave it undefined in
this case.
Blackowialc Okay Rich, anything?
Slagle: One last thing. Can we ask in that summary for staff to give input to council and us on traffic
patterns, plans and, we're getting a sense that there may be a little disconnect on Century, Corporate Way,
you know US Bank. I'd like to just.
Blackowialc Okay and in that vein I'll also add Steve's condition talking about closing the access and
fight-in/right-out and the council will decide, you know that kind of dove tails with what you just said.
So we made it.

The City's discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the proposed
project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements. If it me~ those standards, the City must then
approve the site plan. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
PROPOSAL/SIJMMARY
The developer is requesting an amendment to the Arboretum Business Park Development Deign
Standards, PUD g92-6, Permitted Uses to allow Personal Services on Outlot D, Arboretum
Business Park, Lot 2, Block 1, Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition, and Lot 2, Block 1,
Arboretum Business Park 4t~ Addition. Staff believes personal services are consistent with the
support commercial uses contemplated with the development of the project. Personal Services
include laundry, cleaning and garment services, photographic and portrait studies, beauty and
barber shops, shoe repair and miscellaneous personal services such as clothing or costume rental,
dating services, diet workshops, genealogical investigation services, shopping services, etc. For
example, within the Villages on the Ponds Development, the city has classified office and
services uses together as a separate use from other commercial uses.
Staff opposes the amendment to the design standards permitting a drive through facility with fast
food restaurants within the Arboretum Business Park. Specifically on this parcel, the site design
does not accommodate sufficient area for stacking of drive through traffic without negatively
impacting traffic circulation on the site and adjacent properties.
The site was previously prepared for development with the interim use permit for the initial site
grading, with the final platting of the 4th Addition the public infxastructure was completed, and
with the site plans for U.S. Bank and KinderCare the shared driveway entrances and building
location was established.
Since the initial plan submittal, staff has worked with the applicant to revise the plans to address
concerns with the site layout. Staff had suggested that the applicant change building orientation 90
degrees to a north-south axis with primary enlxances on the east and west sides of the building
eliminating the traffic backing into the drive aisle north of the building. The applicant has prepared
an architectural site plan drawing, dated March 12, 2003, showing these changes. They have also
increased the building by two feet in length, to 142 feet, for a total building area of 9,940 square
feet. Staff su~ the revised site plan and will work with the developer to assure that the civil
plans are revised to correspond with the revised site plan.
Signage is permitted on the street frontage of buildings by city code. The applicant's building
design shows entrances on all four elevations of the building. By code, the applicant could
provide wall signage on only the south and east elevations of the building. The applicant is
requesting a sign variance to permit wall signage on all four building elevations. Due to the
parking and entrances on the west side of the building, staff supports a variance to permit wall
signage on the west elevation of the building.
Helsene Partners
March 18, 2003

Staff is recommending approval of the amendment to the design standards to allow pemonal
services on the vacant support co~al lots, denial of the amendment to permit drive through
facilities with integral fast food resmumats, approval of the site plan with the building oriented on a
north-south axis, and approval of a wall sign variance to permit wall signage on the western
elevation of the building which does not have stxeet frontage.

The developer needs to add parking facilities for bicycles. If a restaurant use is
included on the site, benches or tables should be added.
Loading areas, refuse area, etc.
There are no "back sides" to the building. However, a trash enclosure will be added
to the site. The trash enclosure shall be made of the same material as the building and
may not use a chain link fence.
Landscaping
The site has been previously fanned and more recently used as a dirt stockpile area.
Site landscaping will enhance the a~ce of the property. Landscaping shall
comply with the city's landscaping ordinance.
Lot Frontage and Parking location
The building is being oriented to Century Boulevard. There are no "back sides" to the
building. There are two parking areas proposed for the development, half on the east
side of the building and haft on the west side of the building.
ACCKSS
Access to the property is provided from joint access on Century Boulevard and Corporate Place.
The access from Century Boulevard may be limited to a right-in/right-out if level of service
standards for the access becomes unacceptable or if excessive accidents occur. As part of the
subdivision of the Arboretum Business Park 4th Addition, the city created a condition that
I-Ielsene Partners

Page 5
governs access to Century Boulevard. This condition applies to the three lots of the ~
Business Park 4t~ Addition.
Pedestrian ms has been provided connecting the U.S. Bank building and l~inderCare to this
site. Sidewalk connections and pedestrian ramps should be included from this site to the other
two properties. Additionally, pedestrian access needs to be provided from the building to the
trail on Corporate Place. Bicycle parking facilities need to be provided.
GENERAL
This ~ is zoned PUD light industrial/office park. The use of the PUD zone is to allow for
more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive ~. The
development must comply with the Development Design Standards for Arboretum Business
Park. The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural
standards and site design.
The developer is proposing a one story, brick building with a block base, an grFS mt band,
asphalt shingles, and a drive through area on the western elevation. The building incorporates
porticos on all elevations with entrances on all sides of the building.
The proposed site plan, subject to the modifications contained in the staff report, appears to meet
or exceed the development design standards for Arboretum Business Park.

Variances Required - Requesting sign variance to permit signage on all four sides of the
building.
Parking Standards: Commercial 1 per 200 sq. ft. 50 parking spaces. (If this were an office, the
requirement is 4.5 per 1,000 sq. ft. or 45 spaces.) The applicant has provided 60 spaces.
GRADING, DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL
The site was previously filled and rough graded last fall under the US Bank project. The
applicant is now proposing to fine-grade the site south of the US Bank building to an
approximate elevation of 968.7 for the proposed parking and building pad on Lot 2. At this
elevation, stormwater from the building and parking lot will drain toward the proposed and
existing catch basins and be conveyed via storm sewer to the existing Century Boulevard storm
sewer. Storm sewer design data for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event will need to be submitted for
staff review.
Staff recommends that Type II silt fence be used adjacent to the grading areas. The applicant
should be aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property
owner.
Municipal sewer and water service is available to the site from stubs on the east side of the lot.
The applicant is proposing to connect to the existing utility stubs and extend them to the
proposed lot to serve the site. Private utility easements have previously been recorded for the
sanitary sewer and storm sewer that serve Lot 1 but go through Lot 2.
The underlying property has been previously assessed for sewer, water and street improvements.
However, the sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will be applicable for the new lot. The
2003 trunk hookup charge is $1,440 for sanitary sewer and $1,876 for watermain. Sanitary sewer
and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building
permit issuance and are based on the number of SAC units for the new building addition.
All of the utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest
edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Permits from the appropriate regulatory
agencies will have to be obtained, including but not limited to the Watershed District.
STREETS
No public streets are proposed as part of this project. The applicant is propo~ng to utiliT~ the
existing full access to the site from the north off of Century Boulevard and another full ~s
from the southwest comer of the lot off of Corporate Place.
Helsene Partners
March 18, 2003
Page 7
The applicant is proposing a drive-thru window along the west side of the building and parking
stalls along the other three sides of the building. Staff recommends that the drive-thru be
eliminated. The north side parking lot needs to be relocated to the east side of the building
similar to what was originally proposed when the site was platted to avoid conflicts caused by
backing into traffic in the main drive aisle. Stacking distance for the drive-thru is inadequa~ and
would interfere with access road operation.
The applicant is proposing four street lights along the east and south parking lots. Two more
street lights are needed along the west side of the building at the southwest and drive-thru
a~esses.
Due to the failure and cracks in the new pavement surface of the US Bank parking lot, it is
recommended that the applicant obtain soil data before designing the pavement section to avoid
future problems. Also, staff is recommending that the pavement slope be increasexi to 0.7%
minimum.
LANDSCAPING
Minimum requirements for landscaping include 1,300 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the
parking lot, 31 Ixees for the parking lot, and buffer yard plantings along the north, south and east
property lines. The applicant's proposed as compared to the requirements for landscape area and
parking lot trees is shown in the following table.

PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
Arboretum Business Park dedicated sufficient park land to meet the park land dedication
requirement. However, the developer is responsible for trail fees. As required by ordinance, the
developer shall pay trail fees pursuant to city ordinance at the time of building permit approval.

LIGHTING/SIGNAGE
The developer is proposing 18 foot tall, 400 watt, metal halide, shoebox style light fixtures. Such
lighting is consistent with the development design standards for the project. Engineering is
recommending that additional lighting be included on the western side of the site.
The developer is proposing monument signage on the south and east street frontages. Signage in
these areas are permitted by the design standards. Monument signage may not exceed eight feet
in height nor have a sign area greater than 80 square feet in sign area. Monuments must be set
back a minimum of ~h the required building setback (15 feet) from Century Boulevard and 10
feet from Corporate Place.
Wall signage shall be pennitt~l per city ordinance for industrial office park site. The building
elevations show wall signage on four sides. However, the sign ordinance permits signage on
only sides of the building with street frontage. Thc applicant is requesting a variance to permit
wall signage on all four building elevations. Primary business entrances were initially proposed
on the north, east and south sides of the building and revised to be on the east and west sides of
the building. A drive through facility was initially proposed on the west side of the building, and
has been dropped in the revised plans. Since customer parking is located on the east and west
sides of the buildings and since building entrances are proposed on these sides also, staff
supports wall signage on the east and a variance for wall signage on the west side of the building.
The north side of the building has an entrance, but no parking, and the south side of the building
has street frontage, which would normally receive wall signage. Since no parking is permitted on
the north side of the building, granting of a variance for wall signage on this elevation is not
warranted.
All signs shall require a separate sign permit.
SITE PLAN FINDINGS
In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance
with the following:
(1)
