VISITOR PRESENTATIONS: Mike Ryan: My name is Mike Ryan. I live at 2595 Southern Court. Thank you for the opportunity to speak here tonight. I am here speaking on behalf of the residents between TH 41 and Galpin Road. I'm here tonight to speak a little bit on item number 4 on tonight's agenda. Just as constituents over in our neighborhood we are, we have been and we are actively watching the Council's activity on 4. Or may I say a lack of activity on behalf of the citizens. It gives the appearance.., that we see of the city government is more interested in developers and the objectives of staff...than your constituents. And there is a pattern of appearance that some members of the council and Mayor... want to interpret laws and rules in favor of all parties... My question to you is, looking at this project, I'm hoping that you have to resolve.., and do what's right for the citizens and do what's right for the citizens of Lake Susan and Chanhassen. I understand that the City does not want to get involved in a lawsuit but I think also there's.., not being naive that developers do not want to get into a lawsuit either. In many respects they have more to lose... They do not want to come across with any appearance as being adversarial and they know that other cities will watch their behavior. There comes a time as councilmembers you need to do the right thing on behalf of your residents. Again as residents between TH 41 and Galpin we are actively observing the narrow agenda of some of the council members and the mayor and staff who are, and we are not visibly impressed. We hope tonight in going forward you will represent the interests of the current taxpayers. We also hope tonight in going forward to expand your agenda and truly represent your constituents. We look forward to working with the Lake Susan neighborhood and representatives of our neighborhood to make our viewpoints be known and enlighten other neighborhoods of how city government's working. For the Mission Hills and Marsh Glen folks, I strongly recommend that you be vigilant and be cognizant of the city game plan and stay active... Mayor Mancino: Thank you. Let's go on next to public hearings. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF ANDREAS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY FOR CITY SUBSIDY ON LOT 1~ BLOCK 1~ CHANHASSEN LAKES BUSINESS PARK 8TM ADDITION.

Public hearing is open. Seeing none, bring it back to council members. Any comments from council members? Then may I please have a motion and a second? Councilman Senn moved, Councilman Labatt seconded to approve the Private Redevelopment Agreement with Andreas Development Company, LLC and their request for $53,169.00 in city assistance. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF EDEN TRACE CORPORATION FOR CITY SUBSIDY ON LOT 2~ BLOCK 1~ CHANHASSEN LAKES BUSINESS PARK 8TM ADDITION.

Mayor Mancino: Thank you. Just a quick question. So you're saying that the 31%, that has approval that you've written in there meets all the 1987 PUD agreements that's on the land... Any other questions? Councilwoman Jansen: I have one Mayor, and I'm not sure if it's for staff or the applicant but on the diagram that we have, it doesn't...the location of the berm. Can you explain.., shows the actual location of the berm. Chanhassen City Council Minutes - March 13, 2000 Mayor Mancino: Maybe the applicant can show that when you take some time. Do you have that? Okay, well why don't we, I don't know. Let's ask the applicant when they come up. Okay, any other questions for staff and then I'm going to ask the applicant to... Okay, would the applicant like to come up please and the last City Council meeting we had tabled it and asking you to come back and show us some revised plans for the buildings. How we can make the transition, etc. Larry Guthrie: Thank you. We're looking at... 6(a) says the developer shall provide buffer areas, acceptable to the City, between multiple family and single family areas to ensure adequate transition between uses including the use of berms, landscaping and setbacks from lot lines. We also looked at the PUD... provide that buffer yards be established.., buffer yards provide additional physical separation for.., required to provide, be provided with a combination of berming, landscaping and/or tree preservation to maximize the buffering. Buffer areas do not.., the developer has made some changes. They have split Building B into two buildings with.., separation to break up specifically... Building B used to have decks. They removed the decks and put in bays. They've lowered the pitch of the roof from a 6:12 to a 4:12 resulting in a 5 ½ foot reduction in the height of the project. These weren't required at all. These were concessions. In addition,.., buffer yards and we're already providing a maximum... We increased the previous setbacks from 100 feet to 137 minimum to over 180 feet. The only thing that the code talks about as far as what we can do with the buffering...putting in a berm, as much of the berm that we can do to deal with these slope conditions that are there.., to improve the water drainage to the site... In addition to this 5 to 6 foot berm.., visual impact with respect to neighbors... And with respect to the visual impact, I think it'd be better to have Jeff Shopek who prepared the site plan...to explain the impact that the berm had on with respect to buffer impacts... Jeff Shopek: Good evening. My name is Jeff Shopek. I'm with Loucks and Associates. I'm the civil engineer. One of the previous questions was where is the berm and how is that located in the plan. The berm...top of the berm is 946... In addition what we've done is several line of sights cross sections from Lot 5 to the building and we did a couple of... Again this is the berm. The top of the berm is here. This actually... Now draw a simple line out here... The green line I drew on there is about where the... Then what we did in addition to that is show a line of sight.., shows a 12 foot tree on top of the berm that we are intending to plant as part of the construction. So that will be the height of the tree when planted, and then a 20 foot tree after it grows to a 20 foot height. Directing those lines to what you would see to the various building elevations. You can see just at the ground elevation the top of the berm, you're only about a foot and a half below the second floor of the building... Then as you go to the 12 foot high tree, and at the tip of the tree.., we are into almost the third, middle part of the third floor... And then that 20 foot high tree, actually the top of the tree... So that's the heights... Similarly we did another one saying what happens if someone's standing on a deck... In that scenario it dropped it, the top of the trees leave about 4 feet.., but it's still screening... Also looked at, and just as a scenario is if we were to put a single family home on that same lot.., and built a two story walkout with a normal roof... Mayor Mancino: Jeff I've got a quick question for you. I'm looking at the landscaping plan.., that's dated 1-31-2000. And my question to you is, the staggered row of 12 foot white spruce, is that's what's going to sit on top of the berm? There is a staggered row of white spruce that is the closest to the apartment and then there's another staggered row that are 7 foot white spruce. Jeff Shopek: 12 foot pines... We submitted kind of a modified plan except it's the same trees shifted so they're on top of the berm. Chanhassen City Council Minutes - March 13, 2000 Mayor Mancino: And then the 7, then I'm assuming from what you're saying, then the 7 footers are in front here? Jeff Shopek: ... The 12 high trees are on the top of the berm. There would be a flat area on top of the berm. Mayor Mancino: And how far apart are they? Jeff Shopek: ... Mayor Mancino: That's when they're fully grown. Councilman Labatt: Is the height when you're going to plant it or is this the full growth... ? Jeff Shopek: Those are the 12 foot high trees that are planted... Mayor Mancino: And that's how it will look? That the bases will be touching so that again you'll have almost a hedge there? Or is that when they're 20 feet tall? Jeff Shopek: Well I mean... 12 foot high tree probably has, it probably has an 8 foot wide base or so. 8 to 10 foot wide base. So I don't think they'll be touching when they plant them because that wouldn't give them room to grow to 20 feet high. Mayor Mancino: Any other questions that anyone would have? Councilwoman Jansen: Only if we could get a copy of the plan that has the berm that's actually shown on it. Mayor Mancino: I think, do you have this? Councilwoman Jansen: Not that, but where it's actually diagramed as to where it is behind the building. Mayor Mancino: We've got a lot of new plans so. Jeff Shopek: ... grading plan.., it doesn't stand out as well. Councilwoman Jansen: Thank you. Mayor Mancino: Okay, thank you. Okay, anything else from the applicant? One of the other questions that was asked I think by council members was looking at repositioning the southeasterly building, the B building. And what iterations and what have you gone through to get that... There was a concern about lowering that building, etc. And that was one of the reasons why we tabled it. Link Wilson: My name's Link Wilson... There were two issues that there discussed... One of them was creating.., still be a three story building. The effect was to imagine to lower the building. The problem with that particular concept is that in order to maintain the 1.5 stalls per unit you need to... We would need to create the hard surface plaza out in front of the buildings very similar to... so what that would do is create on the north side of the building there is... have planters out in front, it's almost impossible to keep evergreens alive in some sort of green space.., plant materials dies on the plaza surface. So you're creating Chanhassen City Council Minutes - March 13, 2000 hard surface, but you're also creating.., when you drive something into the plaza, some type of sculpture out on the plaza. You get something out there to brighten up the hard surface... So that was one issue that was discussed. Do a walkout... The other issue presented was a mansard roof. Mayor Mancino: Excuse me, may I say that again. So you could do the walkout but...you wouldn't have any underground parking in place? Link Wilson: Yes. Mayor Mancino: So if we didn't have any underground parking for the building we could have up top parking and just increase impervious surface? Link Wilson: Right, but you also have a code requirement for underground parking... So that was one option that was asked of us. Also it was asked that even if we maintained the 3 story building, if we could create a mansard roof... Currently our roof is only.., so we could possibly remove 3 feet. There again it's... Those were the two options. It seemed the most...there's the berm. We planted spruce... Mayor Mancino: Any questions for staff? If council has any other questions .... how many parking spaces.., underground. Kate Aanenson: 129 have to be underground... Mayor Mancino: Another question. It was Mr. Ryan who came up during visitor presentation and said that he was watching this as it related to other projects. Is there any other area in our city where we have high density in a PUD that the adjacent properties... I mean is this going to happen anywhere else? Well let's just say zoning. I mean does this translate into another area in the city where the concern here is, you know high density next to single family low density. Is there any other place where we have that next to each other? Kate Aanenson: Yep. Mayor Mancino: No, that is not developed. That will be coming in for development. Kate Aanenson went through the various sites in the city that had similar zoning situations. Mayor Mancino: Now that abuts our city park and that abuts, and some twin homes .... 3 or 4 acres. So any other place? ... The only other high density that I know of is on Highway 5 and.., medium density. I was just trying to understand... Any other questions for staff? Councilwoman Jansen: I have one. And actually Dave you had responded in an e-mail as we were looking at the berm, one of the issues was where it ends after the B building. And my question is then whether or not it could be continued any farther to the west.., could speak to that a little bit. Dave Hempel responded to the question. Councilwoman Jansen: And extending it, would that be extending then that 5 foot height for that 25 to 30 feet or... ? Kate Aanenson: It slopes off. Chanhassen City Council Minutes - March 13, 2000 Councilwoman Jansen: The berm is a great improvement. Thank you. Appreciate that. I did have a couple questions, if only to follow-up and maybe clarify a little bit of what we have heard from Mr. Knutson as far as our alternatives or not. IfI might be able to just address a couple of those, and it's amazing when you go back and you read Minutes that you realize how specifically you were laying out this very complicated issue for us and much appreciate it but in a follow-up conversation it became even clearer as to where we are. In our February 14th meeting you had said that from 1987 to 1992 the City had no ability to unilaterally.., amend the PUD. But after that 5 year period the City then could apply any updates to our ordinances as it occurred, which we have done... Further to that, in my conversation you did address the ability of the City to really do...of the PUD. You haven't really gone into that in any length. After that 5 year period is up, could you maybe go into a little bit of the legality of the City's ability to go in and review the PUD... Roger Knutson: First I should point out the 5 year period... Councilwoman Jansen: So it was really after that 1992 date, or thereafter.., where we are right now, where we could have gone in and looked at it and maybe made an amendment to it to do a step density as we talked about with the proper transition or if in an extreme we wanted to affect the density, not that they would ever want to do that, but we then could have tweaked this a little bit to gain more... Roger Knutson responded to Councilwoman Jansen's question. Councilwoman Jansen: And really in doing a PUD review, your direction to me as a council person was that it is a legal process that we can go through but certainly we would want to then review that document prior to a development proposal coming into the city because we certainly wouldn't be looking to say burden or penalize the developer on their entering into the process... Because after speaking with you and again.., as far as establishing more of a... Roger Knutson: ... many ordinances.., to amend your, just like when you amend... Councilwoman Jansen: So does any simple amendment onto our ordinances then would affect the outstanding ... Roger Knutson: Not necessary. Depending on... This PUD specifically addresses... Mayor Mancino: Well and generally, just to add to that... Planning Commission did go into the PUD ordinance and amend buffer yards.., and they also went into buffer yard ordinance in and of itself in 1996 and addressed that at that time. Again, very generally we have.., so that when there are transitions.., it accounts for single family and.., so that has been updated... Councilwoman Jansen: ...transition... Mayor Mancino: Yeah, because each one of the new PUD's that come in and where we've done some rezoning to PUD, the neighbors have, and the applicants have all really worked together because everybody wants something different. Not everybody wants single family. For instance you know in Walnut Grove, those people really wanted a single family row of homes contiguous to their home and they were okay with just one row of single family homes.., so it seems as if the last big PUD that we've done, because of the type of the.., and how the contiguous neighbors are that are already there, each one of them differs... Here's how we're going to transition, we'd be doing this all the time. We've be back to the drawing board Chanhassen City Council Minutes - March 13, 2000 every time because everybody has different ideas about what transition is... unless a good part of that conversation that happens around the PUD, bringing everybody together and say what works for this site, and therefore we really do get everybody's input on the PUD. Councilwoman Jansen: And I guess to that point that my interest is peaked with the idea of going back to them on... and taking a look and updating to bring it into line with.., when the public hearings were held the abutting neighbors to the project so it would be helpful if in fact we were to make sure everyone's.., and really address those concerns. I guess the other thing tonight as far as distinguishing between the two steps, where we're not processing an amendment. Is it a timing issue because we didn't process before the development came.., development proposal came forward. But there is an amendment before us so that of course was started with the project as it came up through the process and the Planning Commission was addressing that amendment at their January 5th and their January 19th meetings. So the amendment comes through the public hearing process.., and just out of curiosity and I failed to ask you this question earlier. The Planning Commission at the time of those two meetings they were going for the same thing that... effective transition and what opportunities... Would it have been inappropriate at that time for them to have addressed any sort of an amendment? Roger Knutson responded to Councilwoman Jansen's question. Councilwoman Jansen: The main part is that... Mayor Mancino: I think it goes back to the applicant.., make the PUD process more rigid. There's no question.., we certainly have worked out... Councilwoman Jansen: It's not to say making it too rigid, but at least if we're aware of some of these that are out there and just doing those updates, and again maybe not having to amend the PUD but it also then brings to the forefront that we might maybe... Not having to then affect the PUD but the ordinance is in line... Mayor Mancino: There's no question.., differently, or I mean that's the time when we have the control. Are there any PUD's that we have on the books right now that, because I already asked about the transitions from high density to single family... Do we have, I mean this is kind of the oldest standing PUD that's finishing up? I mean I guess there's still a few office industrial pieces. Kate Aanenson responded to Mayor Mancino's question. Councilwoman Jansen: I think the difference would be that we can always be more lenient. I mean and obviously we... developer which is fine. So we can be more lenient. We can't be stricter. Mayor Mancino: Well we can be stricter because our ordinance is stricter... Councilwoman Jansen: But this project.., we would have liked to have applied here... Mayor Mancino: Any other questions? Okay, who would like to start? Who would like to start on this one? Do you want to start? Councilwoman Jansen: Since I haven't said much tonight. Well, I guess first by thanking our developers for doing what you could in light of the pressure that we have been putting on you since your very first Planning Commission meeting. You will walk out of Chanhassen knowing that we are big on this Chanhassen City Council Minutes - March 13, 2000 transition issue but not maybe so good at describing it within our rules and regulations for you to be able to follow. But I do appreciate the, especially the latest addition of the berm. You have done a good job in providing that visual buffer that we were trying to accomplish so that we do appreciate... It went a long way with me. And I guess the one thing that I would still like to see happen is that extension of the berm... With that said and my thanks to the neighbors. This has been a very long, drawn out process. You've certainly been very patient. Very cooperative and very involved. We do appreciate that. Councilman Labatt gave his comments on the project. Councilwoman Jansen: I guess maybe to tag onto that, you partially answered the question earlier... I know nothing about the storm water ponds and the way they should be laid out, but it seems like it's of course on an east/west. Is there any way, keeping it's elongated shape, it could be turned more south/north... ? Dave Hempel replied that it was not possible to do that on this site and provided the reasons. Councilwoman Jansen: Thank you. Mayor Mancino: Any other questions? Councilwoman Jansen: I guess my biggest disappointment is probably finding out that there were things that we could have done had we done them in a more timely fashion as far as being able to amend the PUD or update our ordinances. I do think that it's a significant responsibility that we need to make sure that we're applying ourselves to that, to have that foresight and vision if we would as we're looking at...these projects are going to have. This is the most stringent review on an application that we've done in the last year of our residential ordinances. We've been so occupied with office industrial. Existing PUD's. This is really the first project that I know I can get in and wrestle with the existing ordinance... I guess I know I've voiced this already to the rest of the council but one of my high priorities at this point, on this project is to just make sure that we have buttoned up our ordinances so that our residents know that we've looked at, addressed at least as much of them as we possibly can. We already have a building materials review that's going on right now that started while it was going through the process. To sort of guarantee that we're looking at quality building materials and again I guess I keep coming back to the position of... but when you go into a negotiation and you don't have the right part in your hand, you're hard pressed to really be able to stay in the game. So I'm regretting or disappointed that we weren't able to really address the.., and have a process...because I know that I for one would have... I can appreciate the project. It's an excellent project .... the development team's done a wonderful job. We need apartments. There's no doubt that.., apartment complex absent in the community.., addressing our housing goals and looking at this as a product that we need in the community. We also then have to blend with our existing community and I guess...the City should be in the business of building.., and as we build it we're doing that neighborhood by neighborhood and to bring a brand new neighborhood in we haven't in my mind made more of a gentle transition between the existing single family homes... I would have done that differently but I don't feel that I can blame the 1987 decision makers realizing that we've had at least 6 years where we could have done some diligence and maybe planned ahead and had some foresight on this one. We didn't have the time to react to maybe cover some of the things that they didn't foresee at the time. Mayor Mancino: Okay, Councilman Senn. Councilman Senn gave his comments on this project. Chanhassen City Council Minutes - March 13, 2000 Councilman Engel: ... and I didn't come here to do that. And when you're sitting in one of these chairs you've got to put away the emotions. It's harder because it's not very popular... You stick around a while and you'll see what I mean. Wait about another hour and.., you've got realize I live there .... with all that said, this is not a new development. It's a contract... That building B that split could be one building. It's be ugly. They removed the decks. They reduced the pitch of the roof. They added a berm. They've increased the height of the berm. They've doubled the trees required in the berm area. Setback has been extended to 137 feet at the closest point... There could be 375 units per the contract. There's only 344. Still doesn't mean I don't want you to... The rental prices on some of those units is $1,300... Mayor Mancino: I don't really have anything more to... under the conditions of approval and that is that I would like the applicant to dedicate a conservation easement over the southerly 137 feet and so that we are sure that in the future someone cannot come in and destroy the urban forest that we've created there. That there can be no... Secondly I would also like as another condition of approval and that's the trees, the southerly trees behind both B 1 and B2 that are coniferous be planted with both 10 and 12 foot heights. No 7 footers. So I would like to increase the height of those trees. And also that would be increased also on the berm that will be extended 25 feet to the west and... May I have a motion and then may I have a couple friendly amendments. We have two motions. One on page 4 and one on page. The one on page 4 is for the impervious surface at 35 %. The one on page 9 is 31%. On page 4 it says staff recommends the City Council adopt the following motion, and that would include the hard surface coverage going from 32% to 35 % to allow the ring road. Roger Knutson asked for clarification on the intent of the conservation easement request. Mayor Mancino: Well in our, don't cut down the trees. Roger Knutson: Because in a strict conservation easement.., so all you're saying is don't cut down the trees? Mayor Mancino: Yes. Thank you. Councilman Senn made a comment at this point. Roger Knutson: What counts is what's underneath the label... That's what this would be, a tree conservation easement. Mayor Mancino: Yeah, because in our buffer ordinance, buffer yard ordinance it talks about under PUD. ... well I'm going to have to add to it. Councilman Labatt made a motion on this item. Councilwoman Jansen: Would you accept a friendly amendment that the complex will operate under the Minnesota Crime Free... ? Councilman Labatt accepted the friendly amendment. Roger Knutson: Did you intend to deal with the PUD question as a separate issue?... Councilman Labatt moved, Councilman Engel seconded to approve the preliminary plat of 21.34 acres into 4 lots (SUB 99-14) and Site Plan Review #99-19, approval of Phase I (Building A), 100 10 Chanhassen City Council Minutes - March 13, 2000 units as shown on the plans dated received December 3, 1999, revised February 2, 2000, and subject to the following conditions: Approval of this application is contingent upon the City Council approving a PUD amendment to allow a 35% hard surface coverage of the site. 2.

Beth Andrews and Steve Kroiss went over the changes that had been made on the plan per direction from the City Council and residents at the last meeting. 16 Chanhassen City Council Minutes - March 13, 2000 Mayor Mancino: We'll open this up for comments from the neighborhood. As you recall at the last City Council meeting the residents that were here.., the applicant is asking for rezoning. They would like to change the existing zoning that.., from RSF to Medium Density PUD. So with that we as a council.., we do not like to change the zoning once we have it in place. We feel that it's important to keep it that way and... our zoning maps. When people buy, whether it's residential or business property, they make an investment in our city. They do know what will be next to them and what it's zoned and so for us to just change... That doesn't mean that someone can't come in and apply and ask for a zoning to be changed.., but for us to consider it, we just feel that... See how they feel about it. So with that we asked for the neighbors that were here a month ago to go back and look at this proposed rezoning. Think about it hard. Meet with the applicant and then kind of come back and.., tell us how you feel about it so that's where we are tonight and I will open it up for residents to speak to this. So please state your name and your address please. Bernie Gaytko: Good evening Madam Mayor, Council members. My name is Bernie Gaytko. I live at 521 Mission Hills Drive. I'm here tonight as President of the Mission Hills Garden Homes. The townhouses... We did exactly what Your Honor suggested and as a result of that a petition was passed through our development. I have tonight, and will present to Your Honor, a petition signed by 53 of the residents within the Mission Hills townhouse complex. They are in support of the project. They are in support of the proposed changes of zoning, so we have 56 units there. 53 people who signed that petition. The petition represents 42 homes out of the 56. The remaining 14 homes, 13 are on vacation at the time this was passed around and 1... So there's an overwhelming support on the part of the residents within our neighborhood for this project and we would encourage the council to take the action necessary. So on behalf of the 42 homeowners, 53 signees of the petition, I'd like to present the original petition to the Mayor. Thank you. Mayor Mancino: Thank you. Anyone else wishing to address the council? Vern Lindemann who resides at 552 Mission Hills Drive made a comment in support of the rezoning. Mayor Mancino: Cindy or Kate, a question that the Lindemann's brought up... If the Council were to go ahead with the rezoning, would the rezoning only include these plans? ...the plans that we have in front of us or let's say that we rezone and Mr. Kroiss lets another builder come in. Let's say the same product but at a different quality level. Kate Aanenson stated that the plans that were being presented were the plans that would go along with the rezoning. Mayor Mancino: And can we say at a certain price level? Kate Aanenson provided the answer to the Mayor's question. Mayor Mancino: Anyone else? Larry Stein who resides at 8541 Mission Hills presented the neighborhood's position that after meeting with the developer, meeting together as a neighborhood, and after much thought and deliberation on their part, the neighborhood was still not in favor of rezoning the property. Mayor Mancino: Anyone else? 17 Chanhassen City Council Minutes - March 13, 2000 Tracy Scheid: Good evening. My name is Tracy Scheid and I live at 451 Mission Hills Court. I'm speaking this evening along with Larry on behalf of the residents of Mission Hills Lane and Mission Hills Court regarding the rezoning proposed tonight. And I would like to first say that it's a pleasure to address the Council before 11:00. First I want to emphasize that we really did, the residents that were present at the last meeting really did take to heart the advice that was given to us about going back and discussing this item. Not just amongst ourselves but also with the builders. Many talked with staff. Many talked with Council. We did take very seriously the.., it from a bigger perspective. And what you urged us to do is weigh the advantages and disadvantages of this proposal and to consider the unknown element of future proposals for this land and to really think about it. And we really kept on that path. After a great deal of time and consideration the residents of Mission Hills Lane and Mission Hills Court would like to reiterate our opposition to this rezoning. We'd like to restate that we made the investment in our homes with the understanding that this properly would one day be an extension of our single family residential neighborhood. We depended on the City's long term land use plan to provide us with the covenants from the City regarding the use of the land and we respectfully request that the council members support that commitment by voting to keep the current RSF zoning in place. We have taken Mr. Kroiss' most recent revisions and with the temporary construction access from West 86th Street into consideration. I think our biggest fear with that is that it is actually going to be built on Outlot D and Outlot D is slated to be land that will be condemned for Trunk Highway 101 at some point in the future. Now obviously we don't know when that will be. That could be, and we laugh when you say this. It could be next week. But I mean seriously the timing is unknown and we're just not comfortable with taking that risk. We think the risk of the unknown is less of a risk for us to take. In addition to that I just want to say that we do have other concerns about the subdivision itself going in as proposed. Objections kind of with the layout. With the lack of buffer or transition from the single family into the townhomes at time of buildout, as well as the number of units. So all of those things really came into play as we thought about the project. We also would request that the council would vote on this issue tonight. As you recognize that there was further consideration that was due it last time and we recognize that as well. And we have been really.., possible alternatives since that last meeting. It wasn't until really last Thursday that we met with the developer and that's cutting it pretty close but the plan that he came to the table with there, I think that we had hoped that there might be maybe some good will effort shown on the plan greater than what was. Possibly a reduction in the units or some greater transition from the townhome into the single family neighborhood and we really didn't see that. We're just hoping that this doesn't drag on for a great deal longer. That if you please take I guess into consideration the time that the neighbors, the staff and yourselves spend on considering the project and if we are going to look at an alternative project to this one, that that would be significantly different enough to warrant that time. We also do feel very strongly that the property is a really desirable piece of property. It's in a prime Chanhassen location. We think that it can attract a good quality single family residential builder. We think that it can be developed to meet the current zoning regulations and I know that there are some challenges with the Trunk Highway 101 coming in and that part of the land could pose some problems for a potential developer but conversely to that, on the east side of that parcel of land there really is some very nice lots that back up right to the wetland. And on the other side of Marsh Lake, I mean they're building some wonderful, well not building but have built already some wonderful single family homes that are very, that property values in the ranges from $500,000 to $800,000 so I just believe that there are some positive things about this piece of land. Where it's located that could attract a good single family residential project as well. In closing we'd just like to see the zoning on this land remain RSF as it was initially designated and we feel that there really hasn't been any compelling reasons to justify a change. Mayor Mancino: Thank you. And of course we won't make a decision tonight because we do want you to come back again. I mean who would be here? What would we have to do? We're on a first name basis with everyone now. 18 Chanhassen City Council Minutes - March 13, 2000 Bruce Hanson spoke as legal counsel on behalf of the property owners, Andrew and Linda Freseth. Mayor Mancino: Thank you. Before we go back to council I got a letter from David Nickolay who is... adjacent to the property. He asked me to read, he is unable to attend tonight's meeting. Dear Nancy. This is a follow up to our telephone conversation concerning the proposed Marsh Glen development. I will be unable to attend tonight's meeting so I ask that you read this letter when public input is allowed. As I have repeatedly stated to city staff, Planning Commission, the Council and developer, the lots next to my property should be a single family, one home site. Not two homes on this lot. This allows for a transition from the home site in my Mission Hills Lane development. The developer has not responded to the Planning Commission and the City Council's direction to work out a plan with me. He has also not responded to my letter to him. Please change the proposed plan so that Block 1, Lots 9 and 10 are combined into one single family homesite and direct that the house pad site will align with the Mission Hills home to the south. Not the minimum 15 foot setback that is proposed. Respectfully, David Nickolay on March 13th. With that, public comments is closed. We'll bring this back to council and I would like to say on behalf of all the council, thank you, all of you for coming tonight... For doing a good job. For the different homeowners that are adjacent to the property. Being so clear in letting us know how you feel and taking the time to get organized and for speaking so articulately tonight. So thank you. With that I know that Councilmember Engel... last time so if he would lead off this time. It isn't your neighborhood so. Councilman Engel gave his comments on this item that he would support the neighborhood's request for not rezoning the property, even though he felt after looking at the site and driving through it that this proposal would be a good development for this site. Mayor Mancino: Okay, so just to clarify your position. You would not vote to rezone? ... Councilman Engel: Yes. And this is... Councilman Labatt gave his comments that he was not in favor of rezoning this property. Councilman Senn gave his comments that although he likes the project being proposed by this developer, he would uphold the neighborhood's wishes to not rezone the property. The Council discussed the possibility of the development consisting of a combination of the twin home product that was being proposed and single family homes to serve as a transition from the current single family neighborhood. Penny White, a resident from the adjoining neighborhood, asked a question regarding the proposal. Mayor Mancino: So you get to come back here again if there was another request for a rezoning. Okay? ... Okay, coming back to council. Councilwoman Jansen. Do you have anything more to add or are you done? Councilwoman Jansen gave her comments that she would like to see a compromise between the number of homes being proposed in this development and the number of single family lots that was being thrown out by the neighborhood. Councilwoman Jansen also asked if this item should go back to the Planning Commission for their input on a solution to this item. 19 Chanhassen City Council Minutes - March 13, 2000 Bruce Hanson asked if the neighborhood and the developer could take a few minutes to discuss a compromise solution. Mayor Mancino stated that the City Council would continue on with the agenda while they discussed the item and then come back later in the agenda for a decision. APPROVAL OF LIQUOR ORDINANCE. Scott Botcher presented the staff report on this item. Roger Knutson clarified some items that the City Council members had questions on.
