PROPOSAL /SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting site plan approval for the construction of a 38,948 square foot office
warehouse building on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition.
The site is zoned PUD -IOP, Planned Unit Development- Industrial Office Park, and bordered by
Highland Development to the north, Lake Drive West and vacant land to the south, Paulstarr
Enterprises and Commerce Drive to the east and Control Products to the west. The lot area of
the office /warehouse site is 3.56 acres. The site has full access from Lake Drive West and
Commerce Drive.
The applicant is proposing the use of smooth face block on all four sides. The PUD requires that
all walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate
landscaping. Horizontal bands and geometrical shapes of rough face block, accentuate the
building. A pitched element, brick and glass adorn the entry ways into the building. The overall
design provides variation and detail on the facade of the building. Nowe er this des could be
further i mprov ed by stepping ou t sections of the walls. At the Planning Commission meeting,
the applicant explained that they intend to change the east elevation design by adding
windows. The enclosed plans (sheet 3 of 13 dated 4 -30 -1996) reflect these changes. Staff
believes the added windows provide the additional design variation and detail required by
the PUD.
The building will serve office /industrial tenants. Parking for vehicles is located along the
' northeast portion of the site and truck loading area along the southwest portion of the site. The
site landscaping in certain areas is lacking, such as the southwest portion of the site, where the
loading docks are located. The applicant could use a variety of trees and bushes for additional
' screening. A meandering berm of 3 to 4 feet in height runs along the entire edge of the site that
does provide screening some screening.
Staff regards the project as a reasonable use of the land. The overall design is sensitive to the
image of the industrial park and meets the standards established as part of the PUD. Based upon
the foregoing, staff is recommending approval of the site plan, without variances, with conditions
' outlined in the staff report.
BACKGROUND
' On January 13, 1992, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for the Chanhassen
Business Center as shown on the attached site plan. The PUD was amended on February 8, 1993
' to allow for a church as a permitted use and the final plat for phase I of the project was approved.
On April 24, 1995, the Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition, subdividing Outlot C into 7
lots, was approved by the City.
Technical Industrial Sales II
April 17, 1996 '
Page 3
The Chanhassen Business Center is an industrial /office park on 93.7 acres. The original plat '
consisted of 12 lots and 2 outlots. The ultimate development for this proposal was to have a total
of 700,000 square feet of building area with a mix of 20% office, 25% industrial and 55% '
warehouse. The first phase of final plat approval included two lots. The National Weather
Service (NWS) was built on Lot 1, Block 2 and the Jehovah Witness Church was built on Lot 1,
Block 1 of the 1st Addition. Highland was built on Lot 2, Block 1, Power Systems on Lot 4, '
Block 1 and Paulstarr Enterprises was built on Lot 7, Block 1 of the 2nd Addition. One of the
original conditions of the PUD was that the perimeter landscaping was to be installed as well as
the trail. This condition has been met and the landscaping is consistent with the approved '
landscaping plan for the original PUD.
On September 25, 1995, the City Council reviewed the replat of Outlot A into Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, '
Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition. Control Products is built on Lot 1, Block 1,
Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition.
GENERAL SITE PLAN /ARCHITECTURE '
OVERVIEW '
The proposed building is situated on a corner lot facing Commerce Drive and Lake Drive West. '
Access is gained off of both streets. Parking is located to the northeast of the proposed building.
Direct views of the docks, which are located to the Southwest of the building, will be visible
from the surrounding areas. Additional landscaping will be required to screen the docks from '
views. This issue is discussed in detail in the Landscaping Section of the staff report.
The building height is 16.8 feet, located 30 feet from the northwest, 95 feet from the northeast, I
86' from the southeast, and 116' from the southwest property line.
The applicant is proposing the use of smooth face block on all four sides. The PUD requires that '
all walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate
landscaping. Horizontal bands and geometrical shapes of rough face block, accentuate the
building. A pitched element, brick and glass adorn the entry ways into the building. The overall '
design provides variation and detail on the facade of the building H ow ev er, this design could be
further improv by stepping ou t sections of the . = ails . At the Planning Commission meeting,
the applicant explained that they intend to change the east elevation design by adding
windows. The enclosed plans (sheet 3 of 13 dated 4 -30 -1996) reflect these changes. Staff
believes the added windows provide the additional design variation and detail required by '
the PUD,

The applicant has not shown the trash enclosure location. The materials used to screen the trash
enclosure shall be the same type of block used on the building.
The development standards will remain the same as previously approved with the PUD.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
1 a. Intent
C
L
The purpose of this zone is to create a 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
proposal. All utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for development
shall proceed through site plan review based on the development standards outlined below.
b. Permitted Uses
The permitted uses in this zone should be limited to light industrial, warehousing, and office as
defined below. The uses shall be limited to those as defined herein. If there is a question as to
whether or not a use meets the definition, the City Council shall make that interpretation.
1. Light Industrial The manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling, packaging,
or testing of goods or equipment or research activities entirely within an enclosed
structure, with no outside storage. There shall be negligible impact upon the surrounding
environment by noise, vibration, smoke, dust or pollutants.
2. Warehousing Means the commercial storage of merchandise and personal property.
3. Office Professional and business office, non - retail activity.
FINDING: The proposed uses of light industrial and office are consistent with the parameters
established as part of the PUD.
I c. Setbacks
In the PUD standards, there is the requirement for landscape buffering in addition to building and
parking setbacks. The landscape buffer on Audubon Road is 50 feet, south of Lake Drive and
100 feet along the southern property line. The PUD zone requires a building to be setback 50
feet from the required landscape buffer and public right -of -ways. There is no minimum
requirement for setbacks on interior lot lines.
The following setbacks shall apply from the right -of -way:

walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate
landscaping. The plans include horizontal accent bands and geometrical shapes surrounding the
'
building. The building design in general meets the intent of the PUD design requirements.
H th design could be f r h improved . At the

elevation design by adding windows. The enclosed plans (sheet 3 of 13 dated 4 -30 -1996)
' reflect these changes. Staff believes the added windows provide the additional design
variation and detail required by the PUD.
L
L
f. Site Landscaping and Screening
1. All buffer landscaping, including boulevard landscaping, included in Phase I area to be
installed when the grading of the phase is completed. This may well result in landscaping
being required ahead of individual site plan approvals but we believe the buffer yard and
plantings, in particular, need to be established immediately. In addition, to adhere to the
higher quality of development as spelled out in the PUD zone, all loading areas shall be
screened. Each lot for development shall submit a separate landscaping plan as a part of
the site plan review process.
2. All open spaces and non - parking lot surfaces shall be landscaped, rockscaped, or covered
with plantings and /or lawn material.
3. Storage of material outdoors is prohibited unless it has been approved under site plan
review. All approved outdoor storage must be screened with masonry fences and /or
landscaping.
3. The master landscape plan for the CBC PUD shall be the design guide for all of the
specific site landscape developments. Each lot must present a landscape plan for
approval with the site plan review process.
4. Undulating or angular berms 3' to 4' in height, south of Lake Drive along Audubon Road
shall be sodded or seeded at the conclusion of Phase I grading and utility construction.
The required buffer landscaping may be installed in phases, but it shall be required where
it is deemed necessary to screen any proposed development. All required boulevard
landscaping shall be sodded.
5. Loading areas shall be screened from public right -of -ways. Wing walls may be required
where deemed appropriate.
FINDING: The landscaping requirements for the proposed development include 3,760 sq. ft. of
landscaped area, 15 trees for the parking lots, 34 trees for the perimeter area, and screening of the
loading area. The applicant meets the required landscaped area with over 3,500 sq. ft. of
landscaped and open area. Of the 49 trees required for parking lot and perimeter plantings, 17
trees currently exist on site. The applicant proposed another 21 trees to be planted along the
boulevards of the parking area and around the building. Still, another 11 trees are required. Staff
Technical Industrial Sales II ,
April 17, 1996 '
Page 9
recommends these trees be placed on the north and south side berms to provide enhanced '
landscaping and further screening of the loading area on the west side.
Additional screening of the loading area located on the west side will be required in excess of the
required landscaping for parking lot and perimeter plantings. According to city ordinance,
'
"undesirable visual impacts must be screened ... including truck loading areas." The proposed
landscaping plan makes no effort to screen the area from the road or neighboring buildings. The
'
loading area will be able to be viewed from both the road and buildings. The north and south
sides each have 4 to 5 foot berms and west of the loading area is a 3 foot berm. Staff believes
landscaping is necessary in addition to these berms.
'
g. Signage
'
1. All freestanding signs be limited to monument signs. The sign shall not exceed eighty
(80) square feet in sign display area nor be greater than eight (8) feet in height. The sign
treatment is an element of the architecture and thus should reflect with the quality of the
'
development. The signs should be consistent in color, size, and material throughout the
development. The applicant should submit a sign package for staff review.
'
2. Each property shall be allowed one monument sign located near the driveway into the
private site. All signs require a separate permit.
3. The signage will have consistency throughout the development. A common theme will
be introduced at the development's entrance monument and will be used throughout.
'
4. Consistency in signage shall relate to color, size, materials, and heights.
'
FINDING: The applicant has not provided details regarding signage for the site. All signs must
receive a permit prior to installation.
h. Lighting
1. Lighting for the interior of the business center should be consistent throughout the
'
development.
2. A decorative, shoe box fixture (high pressure sodium vapor lamps) with a square
ornamental pole shall be used throughout the development area for area lighting.
3 Lighting equipment similar to what is mounted in the public street right-of-ways shall be
used in the private areas.
' Technical Industrial Sales II
' April 17, 1996
Page 10
4. All light fixtures shall be shielded. Light level for site lighting shall be no more than 1/2
'
foot candle at the property line. This does not apply to street lighting.
' FINDING: The applicant has not provided lighting details or calculations for this development.
However, city ordinance and the PUD standards provide sufficient control to assure compliance
to an established standard.
' GRADING & DRAINAGE
' The proposed site grading is in general conformance with the overall grading plan for
Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition with a few modifications. The westerly parking lot
grade needs to be adjusted to drain half of the parking lot north and a catch basin extended from
' the cul -de -sac to convey this runoff. A master drainage plan was prepared for the overall
development. The site must conform to this drainage plan to avoid exceeding capacity of the
storm drainage system. Detailed storm drainage calculations will also be required prior to
' issuance of the building permit to ensure the master drainage plan is being followed. Roof
drainage also needs to be addressed.
r
The plans also need to adjust the grading limits to end at the property line to avoid impacting the
existing 6 -foot concrete sidewalk, boulevard trees, and street lights along Lake Drive West.
These modifications are relatively minor and can be resolved prior to issuance of the building
permit. Erosion control measures such as rock construction entrances, protection around catch
basins, and silt fence need to be shown on the final construction plans prior to issuance of the
building permit.
UTILITIES
Municipal water and sewer service is available from Commerce Drive. Utility stubs have been
extended from the main to the property line. The plans propose on extending a separate water
line from Lake Drive West to service the site. This involves unnecessarily relocating a fire
hydrant. Staff recommends that the applicant use the existing water and sewer service provided
from Commerce Drive and not Lake Drive West.
I STREETS
The site is proposed to access from both Lake Drive West and Commerce Drive. The truck
loading /dock facility at the west end of the building will access only Lake Drive West. Staff has
reviewed the access locations and finds them generally acceptable with the following
modifications:
All access drives need to be increased from 24 feet wide to 26 feet wide face -to -face per
city ordinance.
Technical Industrial Sales II
April 17, 1996 '
Page 11
2. The radiuses of the drive aisles at both Lake Drive West and Commerce Drive for the
'
easterly parking lot need to be increased from 10 feet to 15 feet to accommodate fire
truck turning movements.
'
3. The easterly curb cut on Lake Drive West also needs to be moved easterly approximately
8 to 10 feet to avoid impacting the existing fire hydrant. All driveway curbcuts along
'
Lake Drive West need to incorporate pedestrian ramps to accommodate pedestrian traffic
using the sidewalk.
,
4. All access points should be constructed per the City's Industrial Driveway Detail Plate
No. 5207.
SITE PLAN FINDINGS
In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance
,
with the following:
(1) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides,
,
including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may
be adopted;
,
(2) Consistency with this division;
by
(3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable minimizing
tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the
general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing or developing
'
areas;
(4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site '
features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the
development;
Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with '
( ) g
special attention to the following: ,
a. An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and
provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general ,
community;
b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; I

Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of
the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and
neighboring structures and uses; and
d. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives
and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public
streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior
circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement
and amount of parking.
(6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision
for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light
and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations
which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses.
' Finding: The proposed development is consistent with the comprehensive plan, the
zoning ordinance, the design guidelines established as part of the Chanhassen Business
' Center PUD with the modifications outlined in the staff report, and the site plan review
requirements. The site design is compatible and harmonious with the approved industrial
developments throughout the city.
' PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE
On April 17, 1996, the Planning Commission reviewed and unanimously approved this
application. One of the issues raised at the meeting dealt with the site landscaping and screening
of the loading dock area. The Planning Commission recommended the applicant provide year
round screening of the loading dock area. A second issue was the overall design of the building.
Staff was concerned that there were large spans of wall along the northeast elevation that needed
additional detail. The applicant explained that they intend to add windows along that elevation.
The current plans have been revised to reflect that change.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends the City Council adopt the following motion:
"The City Council approves Site Plan 96 -2 for a 38,948 square foot industrial office building,
located on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center Second Addition as shown on the plans

Review of Site Plan for Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition '
1480 Park Road, Ray Collings - Land Use Review File No. 96 -10
Upon review of the site plan prepared by John Oliver & Associates dated February 29, 1996,
revised March 10, 1996, I offer the following comments and recommendations:
GRADING & DRAINAGE
The proposed site grading is in general conformance with the overall grading plan for Chanhassen
Business Center 2nd Addition with a few modifications. The westerly parking lot grade needs to
be adjusted to drain half of the parking lot north and a catch basin extended from the cul -de -sac to
convey this runoff. A master drainage plan was prepared for the overall development. The site
must conform to this drainage plan to avoid exceeding capacity of the storm drainage system.
Detailed storm drainage calculations will also be required prior to issuance of the building permit
to ensure the master drainage plan is being followed. Roof drainage also needs to be addressed.
The plans also need to adjust the grading limits to end at the property line to avoid impacting the
existing 6 -foot concrete sidewalk, Boulevard trees, and street lights along Lake Drive West.
These modifications are relatively minor and can be resolved prior to issuance of the building
permit. Erosion control measures such as rock construction entrances, protection around catch
basins, and silt fence need to be shown on the final construction plans prior to issuance of the
building permit.
UTILITIES
Municipal water and sewer service is available from Commerce Drive. Utility stubs have been
extended from the main to the property line. The plans propose on extending a separate water
line from Lake Drive West to service the site. This involves unnecessarily relocating a fire
hydrant. Staff recommends that the applicant use the existing water and sewer service provided
from Commerce Drive and not Lake Drive West.

I STREETS
' The site is proposed to access from both Lake Drive West and Commerce Drive. The truck
loading /dock facility at the west end of the building will access only Lake Drive West. Staff has
reviewed the access locations and finds them generally acceptable with the following
' modifications:
1. All access drives need to be increased from 24 feet wide to 26 feet wide face -to -face per
city ordinance.
2. The radiuses of the drive aisles at both Lake Drive West and Commerce Drive for the
' easterly parking lot need to be increased from 10 feet to 1.5 feet to accommodate fire truck
turning movements.
' 3. The easterly curb cut on Lake Drive West also needs to be moved easterly approximately
8 to 10 feet to avoid impacting the existing fire hydrant. All driveway curbcuts along
' Lake Drive West need to incorporate pedestrian ramps to accommodate pedestrian traffic
using the sidewalk.
1 4. All access points should be constructed per the City's Industrial Driveway Detail Plate No.
5207.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. The grading plan needs to be modified as follows:
a. The westerly parking lot grade needs to be adjusted to drain half of the parking lot
north and a catch basin extended from the cul -de -sac to convey stormwater runoff
from the site.
b. The overall site must conform to the master drainage plan. Detailed storm
drainage calculations will be required prior to issuance of a building permit.
Drainage calculations shall be for a 10 -year, 24 -hour storm event.
C. Grading limits shall be adjusted to end at the property line to avoid impacting
existing boulevard improvements.
2. Erosion control measures such as rock construction entrances, protection around catch
basins, and silt fence around the perimeter of the site need to be shown on the final
construction plans prior to issuance of the building permit.
3. The applicant shall use the existing sewer and water service provided from Commerce
' Drive. Utility extension from Lake Drive West shall be prohibited.

4. All access driveways need to be 26 -feet wide face -to -face and the turning radius on the
drive aisles from the easterly parking lot on to Lake Drive West and Commerce Drive

5. The easterly curbcut on Lake Drive West needs to be moved easterly 8 to 10 feet to avoid
impacting the existing fire hydrant.
6. All driveway curbcuts along Lake Drive West need to incorporate pedestrian ramps.
7. All driveway access points shall be constructed with industrial driveway aprons per City
Detail Plate No. 5207.

been very articulate in all of their reasons and have done a good job of presenting it. I also
think that staff has done a good job in their report of presenting why they think the road
should go through, and they're supposed to. They're looking out for our best interests and
they are supposed to show us and to give us information to make those decisions. I don't feel
that the Hoben, so I would not be in favor of connecting Melody Hill. On the other hand I
don't feel that the Hoben subdivision, as I see it right now, should have a private drive. I
don't see that it is fulfilling any of the conditions that should have to be a private drive. It
certainly isn't doing anything environmentally to save trees or grading. I am concerned, so I
would like to also turn it down. Have that come back as a public street into that development
and I want to make sure that there is a way for the Burkholder property in the future to be
developed. I want to make sure that we address that. May I have a motion?
Conrad: Yeah Madam Chairman, I would make a motion that the Planning Commission
recommends disapproval of the preliminary plat to subdivide, Subdivision #94 -15 under the
rationale that the access does not meet the current city standards.
Mancino: Is there a second?
Peterson: Second.
Conrad moved, Peterson seconded that the Planning Commission recommends that the City
Council deny the preliminary plat for Subdivision 495 -15 for Hobens Wild Wood Farms
Second Addition under the rationale that the access does not meet the current city standards.
All voted in favor and the motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARING:
SITE PLAN REVIEW OF A 38,948 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE WAREHOUSE FACILITY
ON PROPERTY ZONED IOP, INDUSTRIAL OFFICE PARK, AND LOCATED ON LOT 1,
BLOCK 1, CHANHASSEN BUSINESS CENTER SECOND ADDITION, LOCATED ON
LAKE DRIVE WEST, TECHNICAL INDUSTRIAL SALES H, RAY COLLINGS.
Sharmin AI -3aff presented the staff report on this item.
Mancino: Does the applicant wish to address the Planning Commission please.
Rick Wesling: Yes I do. My name is Rick Wesling. I am with TSP/EOS Architects. We
have been working with the owner of the property to coordinate all the... Very briefly I will
walk through the design rationale that we had used to put this package together. This is a
rather low bay... warehouse building. In other words, it's got... therefore the exterior wall
r
15 ,
J

Planning Commission Meeting - April 17, 1996
material in an 8 inch, 10 inch, 12 inch kind of block arrangement you know ... unit works just
fine for this use. We have chosen a concrete block where color is integral all the way
through the block. This is the block that has an applied finish on it. In addition to a block
' with colors integral... construction will really be sealing this block with a water resistant
sealing. So the colors will change slightly. It's not significant. You probably wouldn't notice
if I hadn't told you but we will be sealing the block. That's a water proofing issue for the...
' building. As staff has said, the feel of the building if you will, will be a smooth face block
of this beige color, with darker accents. The very lowest portion of the building as it meets
the ground basically will be this tobacco color with the dark accent bands, the chevrons if you
' will, the squares, being this dark coffee color. To carry that color scheme through at the
entries we're proposing two colors of brick. This red brown brick for the body of the
columns. I apologize for the reproduction here. The photograph. The colors didn't quite fit
' and then the darker band to carry the darkest band... The standing seam metal roof on the
sloped portion would be this color. This deep, deep red with the roof coating being a dark
brown color here, which will be darker than what we've shown it here. That was a fine
' tuning of our own design process. We have received and reviewed the staff report. In fact
this drawing, this civil engineering drawing addresses some of engineer's concerns already in
regards to moving the drive to avoid this existing fire hydrant. Widening the entrances from
' 24 to 26 feet I believe is their recommendation. We've done all that stuff. The water service
and sanitary service will be off the existing stub in to the property. In regards to the
' landscaping, that's staffs recommendation and I can't say I can... disagree with that one.
Obviously there's a balance in any development process of dollars expended versus the
landscaping but if that is their recommendation, and that's what it requires to receive plan
' approval, we will certainly screen. And the recommendation on I believe it's 11 additional
trees, we will use those trees to buffer the...
' Mancino: I was going to ask, if you don't mind just off the top of your head. What will,
what kind of landscaping will buffer that dock area? Because that's tall. That's high. You
can see it from miles around. I went out there and stood and you're going to see that whole
' west side of that dock area.
Rick Wesling: That is a tough nut to crack. I'll be very honest with you.
I Mancino: Can you increase the berm from 3 feet to 4 feet?
I Rick Wesling: Along this edge of the property?
Mancino: On the west edge.
' hick Wesling: Unfortunately the land drops off there...
16

Planning Commission Meeting - April 17, 1996
Mancino: Can you lower the building?
Rick Wesling: No... No, I have no place to put the dirt that we have now. We are already in
a situation with the present building elevation that we're exporting a significant amount of
dirt. There's two things that are driving that. One is the soils that are out there ... and the
amount of undercutting put underneath the parking... We've got to move a lot of dirt off site
so lowering the building is... Along this side, that's a tough one. We can perhaps increase
berms here and here without impacting drainage, sight lines and such too dramatically... I'm
going to have to rely on my landscape architect to help me out on that one. I don't have the
answer.
Mancino: Thank you.
Rick Wesling: We have taken a look at the ... of this building. 5 feet by however long ... 5 feet
tall. We made the decision that this is the appearance of the building. Particularly in a single
wide masonry wall building could be a problem. We've moved them almost to the center of
the building and we have taken the opportunity to ... cut three sections through the site from
locations where vehicles will be driving on Commerce, on Lake Drive West. Section A at the
top, the mechanicals, let me back up a moment. The mechanical units are set almost in the
middle of the building. They sit 100 feet back from this face and the closest one on this face
sits 50 feet in so there's a mechanical unit right about right here. As best we can we've
represented a section cutting through the ... to the height of the building. These units are
clearly screened. From Lake Drive West, for their view, again the units are screened and the
one area of concern, but the distance is greater and there's some lower portions of the
building. Section C it does, to the best of our ability to predict. We've screened the units by
moving them back and that was ... we're buying more duct work inside the building versus...
That's again a measure of economics versus long term. Now I'll answer any questions. If
not, I'll let the commission deliberate.
Mancino: Commissioners have any questions at this time? Thank you.
Peterson: Couple of questions... The size of the brick that you're ... I assume they're not going
to be that size.
Rick Wesling: No, this is simply for the purpose of our board. The CNU units would be
the standard 8 inch tall, 15 inch long. The brick here, as we've designed it right now would
be a modular size brick. 8 inch long, 2 1/3 inches tall. Exactly the same size as the brick
that's behind you right there.
Peterson: And the majority of the walls are going to be that smoother style?
17 1

Planning Commission Meeting - April 17, 1996
Rick Wesling: The feel of the building will be the smooth block. Now I will also address
the issue of staffs desire to step out portions of the building. In conversations with the owner
of the property, and the way the building looks like it's going to lease up, the owner has
expressed a desire to put some windows on that side and we are in the process of working
through some scenarios to put some windows on this facade that will meet the tenants needs
in terms of office space. We've estimated this office space is going to rent out between 20%
and 22% office space and we've sized the parking...
Peterson: Just for my edification ... I can make the safe assumption because of the interior of
' the building but it's fairly... you've got two entrances on the left that makes the building look
lopsided, for lack of a better adjective.
' Rick Wesling: We can put a more positive spin on it. We call it asymmetrical.
J
L
L
Peterson: I mean I assume that that is the design that's most logically
Rick Wesling: There was a desire to take advantage of the fact that we've got Lake Drive
West and Commerce here and then this cul -de -sac kind of T's up here... The primary exposure
for tenants would be on this corner and recognizing the fact that we can't have everybody's
lobby in one place. The building has to work with both corners of the site. And that's what
drove that as we were planning.
Peterson: And lastly the trash site is going to be where? ...to the docks.
Rick Wesling: If the owner decides to have tenant leases that allow trash outside, there will
have to be a trash enclosure and it will have to be out of these materials. I would presume
this plan is in error. We've eliminated this connection to the cul -de -sac as per engineering's
request. That's fine with us. It is now a hammerhead here. I think that probably shows up
more clearly on the civil engineering drawings, and I would recommend if they do it, that any
trash enclosure occur back here. You want them to be out of sight. Tenants may feel
differently. They may want a trash enclosure here. But at any rate, it will have to follow
your guidelines in terms of trash enclosures being consistent with building materials.
Mancino: Thank you. Sharmin, I have a quick question for you to go along with that.
Because it is so high up and it says no materials are allowed to be stored outside. Now in the
back does that mean that there can be trailers? Truck trailers back there.
Al -Jaffa Typically what will happen is they will stop in, either unload or load and then they
would move on.
18
Planning Commission Meeting - April 17, 1996
Mancino: And they can't stay overnight.
Al -Jaff: Not typically.
Mancino: Thank you. May I have a motion to open this for a public hearing please, and a
second.
Faimakes moved, Mehl seconded to open the public hearing. The public hewing was opened.
Mancino: This is open for a public hearing. Anyone wishing to address the Planning
Commission on this issue, please come forward. Seeing none, may I have a motion to close
the public hearing.
Faimakes moved, Joyce seconded to close the public heating. The public hearing was closed.
Mancino: Comments, questions from the Planning Commissioners. Craig.
Peterson: I think my earlier question, I guess I've ... I think everything seems to fit and Madam
Chair, as you offered earlier, I'd like to raise the berm or lower the building but that not being
the case, then...
Mancino: Thank you. Ladd.
Conrad: Only one point of clarification. In the staff report it eludes to each property shall be
allowed certain signage. We're talking about one property here. One building, right?
Al -Jaff: Correct.
Conrad: One pylon sign.
Al -Jaff: Correct.
Conrad: Okay. So whoever makes, I guess my concern is in the motion, point number 11.
It says all free standing signs shall be limited. I think the applicant, I believe they're only
asking for one pylon sign and there aren't more than one properties here so that is something
that should be clarified. Again, it's says that each property shall be, that's sort of our, that's
being taken out of our ordinance but I think it should be applied specifically. One pylon sign
is allowed for this project. That's my only comment.
Mancino: Kevin.

Planning Commission Meeting April 17, 1996
Joyce: The only comment I have, I believe I missed it was the applicant proposed using
' water off of Lake Drive West and it will be used off the regular line's been extended, is that
correct?
' Rick Wesling: We have, well I'll let engineering address that.
Hempel: Madam Chair, commissioners. That has been addressed to date. They relocated
that driveway entrance from on Lake Drive West slightly not to impact that and they will be
utilizing the existing sewer and water service off...
' Joyce: Looks like it's fine to me.
Mancino: Bob.
Skubic: It looks like a nice plan and appreciate that it's a very visual area of Lake Drive
' there. People will be seeing it. We have one concern about the roof mounted equipment that
I'd appreciate that the applicant moved it towards the center where it's out of the sight line
from the adjacent streets. My concern is what about some of the streets that may be a little
' further away and higher elevations, that they still might be in your sight lines so I would like
to leave condition number 10, or the equipment, the mechanicals must be screened. That
would be my preference. Staff, do you feel comfortable with the mechanics being in the
' center where they're proposed?
Al -Jaff. We drove along Valley Ridge Road and as well as Audubon. Both those streets sit
' at a much higher elevation. Other than either painting the equipment with a color that
somehow matches the building so that it kind of fades away into the background, or actually
' putting a fence around each unit, there really isn't any other alternative. Will it be seen from
Audubon Road? The answer is yes.
' Skubic: I'd like to see something further be done to screen.
Al -Jaffa Okay.
' Mancino: Thank you. Jeff.
Farmakes: Nothing further to add.
Mehl: Yeah, I have nothing further either.

Planning Commission Meeting - April 17, 1996
Mancino: I don't really either. The only thing that Rick brought up was, instead of the
stepping out to provide variation and detail, of doing the window ... that sounds fine to me. I
mean I would want the applicant and staff to work out those variations. If you would see the
little... windows in instead of providing that setback. The only other thing that I would really
want to address is, as I said before, the truck loading area. Since we can't take all that dirt
and create a berm with it and put the building down, the screening I think needs to be year
round screening. Not just seasonal and from what I see out there right now, and I look at
Power Systems which has two docks which are very, very visible from Audubon. And they're
not as high as this building will be. I would like to see a denser sort of planting than what is
out there. And I don't know if staff, I don't think I need to be more specific. If you could
work with the landscape architect on that, I would feel very comfortable. But I would just
add the year round screening adjectives to that. Otherwise just fine. May I have a motion.
Skubic: I make a motion that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Site Plan
#96 -2 for a 38,948 square foot industrial office building, located on Lot 1, Block 1,
Chanhassen Business Center Second Addition as shown on the plans dated Received April 2,
1996, and subject to the conditions provided by staff 1 through 17.
Mancino: Any discussion?
Peterson: One point. Going back to the screening aspect of it. I vacillate back and forth on
the aspect of whether it's better to try and screen something and maintain that screening. I
guess I turn the question back to staff. What are we using... what are the other alternatives
that have a longer life value?
Al -Jaff: There's been metal. Parapet walls.
Peterson: Parapet walls in this case aren't viable.
Al -Jaff: No, they're not an option really. Painting the units, but it has to be done in a
manner that it's either going to work or it's going to turn into something that will scream at
you. We will work with the architect and investigate that option of either painting the unit.
Peterson: Bob, were you thinking of that as an alternative? I sense that you weren't.
Skubic: No, I'm comfortable letting staff deal with that to their satisfaction.
Peterson: I have no more questions.

an emergency or something where you needed to get a big fire truck back there, is that easy '
