SUB J:
Final Plat Approval for Ashling Meadows 2"d Addition, Located East
of Sapphire Lane and South of Lake Iamy Road, Lundgren Bros.
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
This is the second phase of Ashling Meadows subdivision. The site was proposed to be
developed in two phases with a total of 53 single family lots. The first phase was
approved in March of 2001 (see attachment 1 for original conditions of approval and
how they have been modified for the second addition).
The applicant is requesting final plat approval to subdivide 16.48 acres into 22 single
family lots and one ouflot. The property is zoned RSF, Residential Single Family.
The average lot size is 21,137 square feet with a resulting net density of 2.06 units per
acre. The site is located south of Lake Lucy Road and east of Sapphire Lane. Access to
the subdivision will be provided via internal streets off of Galpin Boulevard. All lots are
proposed to be served via these internal residential streets.
All of the proposed lots meet the mi~imm area, width, and depth requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance. There is one outlot shown on the plat. Outlot A contains wetlands.

In smmnary, staff believes that the proposed subdivision is well designed. Minor revisions will be
required. We are recommending that the subdivision be approved with conditions outlined in the staff
report.
BACKGROUND
On March 12, 2001, the Chanhassen City Council approved the following:
Rezoning ~00-5 to rezone 40 acres of property zoned RR, Rural Residential, to
RSF, Residential Single Family, for Ashling Meadows as shown on the plans
dated received December 15, 2000.
H.
The preliminary plat for Subdivision g00-15 for Ashling Meadows for 52 lots
and four ouflots as shown on the plans, dated December 12, 2000, stamped
received March 12, 2001, subject to conditions (see Attachment 1 for original
conditions of approval and how they have been modified for the second
addition).
m.
Wetland Alteration Permit g00-5 for Ashling Meadows as shown on the plans
dated received December 15, 2000 and subject to conditions.
On April 9, 2001, the City Council approved the final plat for Subdivision//00-15 for the first phase of
Ashling Meadows for the creation of 30 single family lots, one private amenity lot, and three outlots as
shown on the plans, dated April 4, 2001, and subject to conditions.
At this point, the applicant is requesting final plat approval for the second and final phase of the
development. Staff is recommending approval of this application with conditions.
FINAL PLAT
The applicant is proposing to subdivide a 16.48 acre site into 22 single family lots and one outlot. The
density of the proposed subdivision is 1.3 units per acre gross, and 2.06 units per acre net, after removing
the roads and wetlands. All the lots exceed the minimum 15,000 square feet of area, with an average lot
size of 21,137 square feet.
All of the proposed lots meet the minimum width and depth requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
There is one outlot shown on the plat. Ouflot A contains wetlands.
All wetlands on the site are contained within an outlot and are not counted as part of the overall area of
the individual lots. The ordinance requires all structures to maintain a 30 foot setback from the edge of a
wetland. The ordinance also requires a buffer zone (0-20 feet wide) with an average of 10 feet. The
plans reflect a 10 foot buffer continued around the wetlands.
Staff notes that the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance.

WETLANDS
Two ag/urban wetlands are located within Outlot A. The first wetland occupies the southeauagrly
portion of Outlot A. It is dominated by reed canary grass and giant goldenrod. It receives runoff
from surrounding hillsides and discharge from the wetland located west of Outlot A. No wetland
impact is proposed in this basin.
The second wetland is a small wetland basin in the northwest corner of the site (at the intersection of
Galpin Boulevard and Lake Lucy Road). The wetland is dominated by willow, reed canary grass and
silver maple. No wetland impact is proposed in this basin.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLANT (SWMP)
Water quality and quantity fees were collected with phase I for the entire project.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL
The entire site was graded with the first phase of this development. All that is left is the fine grading
needed to prepare the streets for pavement.
All of the ponding for the site was constructed with the first addition. The north half of the second
addition will drain to the existing pond along Lake Lucy Road. The south half of the site will drain
to the existing pond in the southwest corner of the site. These ponds are sized to accommodate the
runoff. Storm sewer design calculations need to be submitted for staff review and approval.
It is unclear from the plans which site access will be used during construction. Staff recommends
that a rock construction entrance be added to the plans at whichever access will be utilized during
construction. Silt fence must be added to the south end of Ruby lane and the east end of Topaz
Drive to prevent soil from migrating off site. In addition, catch basin filter barriers must be placed
around the existing catch basins at the ends of the street on Topaz Drive and Ruby Lane.
UTILITIES
The plans propose to connect to the existing utility mains at the end of the first phase streets. Water
will be looped through the site and connect with the watennain from the Lake Lucy Ridge
subdivision to the east. Sanitary sewer will be extended to serve the site and will connect with the
forcemain from lift station #30 in Lake Lucy Ridge.
The property has not been previously assessed for sewer and water hookup and connection charges.
As per city ordinance, each newly created lot will be required to pay a sewer and water hookup
charge of $1,440 and $1,876, respectively. In addition, since the property is within the Lake Ann
sewer district, a sewer interceptor charge of $1,100 and a sub-think charge of $902 will be due on
each lot. The sewer and water lateral connection charges will be waived contingent on the developer
installing the internal lateral utility lines. All of the above fees are due at the time of building permit
issuance.

Utility improvements will be required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of
Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Detailed construction plans and specifications have been
submitted for staff review. The applicant will also be required to enter into a development contract
with the City and to supply the necess~ financial security in the form of a letter of credit or cash
escrow to guarantee installation of the improvements and the conditions of final plat approval.
STREETS
The plans propose on extending both Topaz Drive and Ruby Lane from their current terminus at the
end of the first addition. The plans also propose to connect Emerald Lane from this development
with the lake Lucy Ridge development to the east.
The entire street system is shown within a 60-foot wide public right-of-way with 31-foot wide paved
streets in accordance with City design criteria. Two stub streets are shown as future connections for
the development of the properties to the south and southeast of the site. A temporary cul-de-sac
turnaround is proposed on one of the stub streets. Staff is recommending that a similar turnaround be
shown on the plans for the other stub street to the south (Ruby Lane). Both temporary mmarounds
will require temporary easements for any area outside of the right-of-way that is used for the
turnaround. Sidewalk will be extended on one side of each of the proposed streets.
TREE PRESERVATION/LANDSCAPING
Calculations for the entire site were submitted with the preliminary plat. The applicant has met all
landscaping requirements based on plans dated February 28, 2001 and signed March 12, 2001.
PARK DEDICATION
COMPREHENSIVE PARK PLAN: The City's Comprehensive Park Plan identifies Pheasant Hill
Park as the neighborhood park facility that will serve Ashling Meadows. Sugarbush Park, although
slightly further away' than Pheasant Hill Park, will also be accessed by residents of Ashling Meadows.
COMPRENHENSIVE TRAIL PLAN: Ashling Meadows is served by the existing Galpin Boulevard
off-street trail and the Lake Lucy Road on-street access to both these trails. A "connector trail" from the
entrance to Ashling Meadows (Topaz Drive) north to the intersection of Lake Lucy Road and Galpin
Boulevard is shown on the plans.
The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed this item and recommended the following:
1. Full park fees be collected in lieu of land dedication.
2~
The applicant provide the necessary trail easement or ouflot and construct an 8 ft. wide
bituminous trail connector from Topaz Drive north to the intersection of Lake Lucy Road
and Galpin Boulevard. Trail fee credit shall be granted in consideration for this condition.
,
The City Engineer's office shall ensure that the 8 ft. wide bituminous trail connector is
located far enough away from Galpin Boulevard to ensure that a future mm-lane or
widening of the road can be accommodated.
