I PROPOSAL /SUMMARY
' The applicant is requesting approval to subdivide a 0.862 acre site into 2 single family lots. Both
lots will be available for future construction. The site is located south of Hwy. 7 and north of
Orchard Lane. The site will be accessed via Orchard Lane.
' The proposed lots meet the minimum requirement of the Zoning Ordinance.
' The site generally slopes to the north.. The grading plan proposes grading on Lots 1 and 2 to
prepare this site for house pads. Staff recommends that a drainage Swale be designed and
constructed along the east line of Lot 2 to maintain drainage around the house to Highway 7 versus
' onto the adjacent parcel to the east.
The Park and Recreation Commission is recommending that park and trail fees be paid in lieu of
' park land.
Staff believes that this plat request is a reasonable one and consistent with guidelines established by
t the city Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. We find it to be well designed. We are
recommending that it be approved with conditions as outlined in the report.
BACKGROUND
On December 12, 1994, the City Council approved a metes and bounds subdivision of the subject
property, into two parcels. One parcel contained the single family lot and the second one was
reserved for further subdivision. The current subdivision application proposes to divide the second
' parcel into an additional two lots.
SUBDIVISION
' The applicant is proposing to subdivide a 0.862 acre site into 2 single family lots. The density of
the proposed subdivision is 2.3 units per acre. Both lots meet or exceed the minimum 15,000
' square foot of area.
Staff notes that the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and generally consistent
' with the Zoning Ordinance.
Park and Recreation
The Park and Recreation Commission recommended the City Council require full park and trail
' fees be paid as a condition of approval.

WETLANDS
There appears to be no wetlands on -site. There is a utilized pond near the northwest corner of Lot '
2 that is incorporated into the City's Surface Water Management Plan and is discussed below.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The City has adopted a Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP). The SWMP will serve as a tool '
to protect, preserve, and enhance the City's water resources, The plan identifies the stormwater
quantity and quality improvements from a regional perspective necessary to allow future
development to take place and minimize its impact to downstream water bodies. In general, the
water quantity portion of the plan uses a 100 -year design storm interval for ponding and a 10 -year
design storm interval for storm sewer piping. The water quality portion of the plan uses William '
Walker Jr.'s Pondnet model for predicting phosphorus concentrations in shallow water bodies. An
ultimate conditions model has been developed at each drainage area based on projected future land
use, and therefore, different sets of improvements under full development were analyzed to deter-
mine the optimum phosphorus reduction in priority water bodies.
A utilized pond exists on Trunk Highway 7 right -of -way and the City's SWMP indicates that this '
ponding is proposed to be increased in the future in order to serve as the water quantity pond for
11.9 acres of drainage area. Based on the SWMP, this pond will be designed to have a normal
water level of 961.7 and a high water level of 964.1. An existing 18 -inch discharge pipe is shown '
on the plan to carry the discharge from this pond north across Highway 7 to a pond in Shorewood.
Storm Water Quality '
The SWMP has established a connection charge for stormwater quality systems. The cash
dedication will be equal to the cost of land and pond volume needed for treatment of the I
Lin q uist Addition
April 3, 1996
Page 4
' phosphorus load leaving the site. The requirement for cash in lieu of land and pond construction
shall be based upon a schedule in accordance with the prescribed land use zoning. Values are
calculated using the market values of land in the City of Chanhassen plus a value of $2.50 per cubic
yard for excavation of the pond if the applicant constructs the pond or $4.00 per cubic yard for
excavation of the pond if the City constructs the pond.
The water quality charge has been calculated at $800 /acre for single - family residential property.
The proposed development (0.86 acre) would then be responsible for a water quality charge of
' $688. Fees are reduced based on the costs of the developer's contribution to the SWMP design
parameters. Since the applicant is dedicating an additional 15 feet of drainage and utility easement
across the back of the lots (0.09 acre), the applicant will receive a credit of $1,623.00 resulting in a
' net credit of $935.00.
Storm Water Quantity
' The SWMP has established an connection charge for different land uses based on an average, city-
wide rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes all proposed SWMP
' trunk systems, culverts, and open channels and stormwater ponding areas for temporary runoff
storage. The connection charge is based on the type of land use for the area. Fees will be based on
the total developable land. Undevelopable area (wetlands), public parks, and existing development
is exempt from the fees. The fees are negotiable based on the developer's contribution to the
SWMP design parameters.
Low density developments will have a connection charge of $1,980 per developable acre. The
proposed development of 0.86 acre low density would then be responsible for a water quantity
connection charge of $1,703.00. By applying the water quality credit of $935.00, the net resulting
balance would be $768.00 owed to the City at final plat recording.
' DRAINAGE
The property drains to the north toward Trunk Highway 7. A proposed regional stormwater pond is
' shown in the SWMP to take runoff from approximately 11.9 acres of land. (See SWMP discussion
above.) No additional storm drainage improvements are required at this time as a result of this
subdivision.
' GRADING
The lots slope northerly toward Trunk Highway 7. The grading plan proposes grading on Lots 1
and 2 to prepare this site for house pads. Staff recommends that a drainage swale be designed and
' constructed along the east line of Lot 2 to maintain drainage around the house to Highway 7 versus
1
Linquist Addition
April 3, 1996
Page 5
onto the adjacent parcel to the east. This grading work should be completed in conjunction with
the utility construction process in order to minimize disruption and erosion in the area. Additional
erosion control fence should be installed along the front of Lots 1 and 2 to ;prevent erosion into the
street. A rock construction entrance shall be employed during hauling operations to minimize
tracking into the street.
STREETS
Orchard Lane is not currently constructed to full city urban standards. The street is paved with a
bituminous mat approximately 24 feet wide with minimal storm drainage improvements. Staff
believes the current street system is adequate to support this development.
UTILITIES
Lots 1 and 2 currently do not have sewer service available. The existing sewer line ends at the west
line of the parcel located west of the subject property. Therefore, it is necessary for the applicant to
extend the city's sanitary sewer line along Orchard Lane approximately 160 feet to the east in order
to provide service to Lots 1 and 2. The sewer line shall be constructed in accordance to the City's
latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Detailed construction plans and
specifications will be required for staff review and City Council approval. If the applicant extends
the sanitary sewer line the connection charges will be waived; however, Lots 1 and 2 will be subject
to hookup charges at time of building permit issuance. The hookup charge for 1996 is currently
$1,050 for sanitary sewer. The site has two water services available. An additional water service
will need to be extended across Orchard Lane. Since the parcel was assessed for one water
services, Lot 2 will be subject to a $1,375 water hookup charge and a $3,500 connection charge at
time of building permit issuance. In turn, the City will be responsible for extending this water
service to Lot 2,
LANDSCAPING/TREE PRESERVATION
Canopy coverage for the site is approximately 15% and consists of various sized maples and
pines. The locations of the house pads utilizes an open area of the site and fits well for tree
preservation. Tree removal is minimal. According to plans only four trees appear necessary to
remove and realistically could be transplanted elsewhere on site due to their relatively small
sizes. A twenty inch maple is close to the grading limits, but is easily preserved using city
approved preservation techniques.
The existing coverage of the site is below the minimum coverage required for low density
residential (25% coverage required). The applicant, therefore, will be required to increase
coverage by .19 acres to meet the minimum. This is a total of eight trees.

' The plans propose landscaping materials within the future ponding area in the backyard of Lot 1.
These plantings need to be relocated outside the proposed drainage and utility easements to avoid
having to relocate /remove them in the future.
' PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE
' On April 3, 1996, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved this application unanimously.
An issue that concerned one of the neighbors (Mr. Dick Brown, 2630 Orchard Lane) dealt with site
drainage and the impact it will have on the existing neighborhood drainage pattern. Staff explained
that currently, all storm water surface drains to the north, towards Highway 7. A culvert runs
underneath Highway 7, which conveys runoff into a retention pond located north of the highway.
This development would be required to maintain the neighborhood drainage plan. Topographic
' maps indicate that Mr. Brown's property is approximately 6 feet higher than the subject site along
Highway 7. The proposed development will not exacerbate any existing problem.
' RECOMMENDATION
n
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the following motion:
"The City Council approves the preliminary plat for Linquist Addition, Subdivision 494 -19, as
shown on the plans dated March 1, 1996, subject to the following conditions:
The applicant shall be responsible for extending sanitary sewer service to Lots 1 and 2. The
City shall be responsible for extending water service to Lot 2. Detailed construction plans
and specifications in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and
Detail Plates shall be submitted to the city engineer for review and City Council approval
with final plat consideration. The applicant shall also enter into a development contract
with the City and provide the City with a financial escrow to guarantee installation of the
sewer line and street restoration.
2. Access to all lots shall be limited to Orchard Lane.
3. The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the MWCC, Health Department, and
PCA for extension of the sanitary sewer line.
4. The applicant shall be responsible for a storm water quality /quantity charge of $768.00.

Aanenson: Fill?
Craig Peterson: Yeah.
Aanenson: Do you want to answer that Dave?
' Hempel: The property slopes off northerly from Orchard Lane towards Highway 7. It
appears that approximately 6 to 8 feet of fill will be needed adjacent to the homesites once
the homes are built. The lots actually are pretty conducive to walkout type lots.
' Mancino: I think that 8, 6 or 8 feet is from the northern side of the road. It needs to go just
straight north, right?
Hempel: That's correct.

Mancino: So it will be much like the house that's already there. That's on the western lot. '
Where it looks like they've added fill to the yellow home. The existing home. Is that correct
Dave?
Hempel: Yes. '
Peterson: Thanks. I
Mancino: Any other questions at this point? Okay, having no questions. Does the applicant
or their designee wish to address the Planning Commission tonight? No?
Applicant: No.
Mancino: Okay. May I have a motion to open for a public hearing then? '
Fa►makes moved, Mehl seconded to open the public hearing. The public hewing was opened. I
Mancino: This is open for a public hearing. Any of those wishing to come up and address
the Planning Commission at this time, please do so. Please come up to the podium. ,
Dick Brown: My name's Dick Brown. I live at 2630 Orchard Lane, and I'm the first house
west of the existing home on Orchard Lane. And I guess I have a question as to what impact
cost wise to the neighbors this project will have. Will there be street work done? It would
cost the neighbors one way or the other and I think there's people here that live across the
street too. Will any street work be done or any cost be incurred which we have to share? '
Mancino: Dave, will there be any infrastructure cost that the residents in the area will have '
to bear?
Hempel: Madam Chair, not to the adjacent property owners. The applicant is the one that's
going to be responsible for the extension of sanitary sewer to service these lots. As a result,
part of the road may be disturbed and have to be replaced and that cost would be born by the
applicant. Not the adjacent property owners. ,
Mancino: What will that do, the disruption of the street? How long will that last? I mean is
there a period that they have to tear up the street so that those in the area will know how long ,
that will go on?
Planning Commission Meeting - April 3, 1996
Hempel: This is a very small project. I would imagine that it would be completed in a
couple of days and the street restored probably within a week to two weeks after the initial
utility installation.
' Mancino: Okay. Will the neighbors be, will they be notified when this is going to happen?
Hempel: We do require traffic signage on the road. Utility road work ahead. That type of
notification. We don't typically notify individual homeowners unless we do have to shut the
water off. Then we do require at least a 48 hour notice to the homeowners that are affected
by the turn off. We don't anticipate any of that in this situation. We will maintain traffic on
Orchard Lane, or that will be the responsibility of the applicant at all times. There may be a
period where you have a flat person or they have to direct traffic and periodically stop it but
for the most part it will remain open.
Mancino: Mr. Brown, do you have any other questions?
Dick Brown: I have a question. Will the City require those lots as they're developed to trees
or shrubs or anything of that nature?
Aanenson: Sure, I'll be happy to answer that question. As a part of the landscaping tree
ordinance, canopy coverage. It is deficient in trees and we are requiring that 8 additional
trees be placed on the site.
Dick Brown: Thank you.
Mancino: You're welcome. Would anyone else like to address the Planning Commission? If
you have any questions whatsoever, now's the time to ask. So please come forward. Seeing
none, may I have a motion to close the public hearing.
Mehl moved, Joyce seconded to close the public healing. The public healing was closed.
Mancino: Comments from commissioners. Don.
Mehl: I think it looks pretty straight forward. I think the city probably will ... I support it.
Mancino: Thank you. Bob.
Skubic: It looks like a straight forward subdivision. I don't have any further comments.
Mancino: Jeff.

Planning Commission Meeting m April 3, 1996
Farmakes: Nothing additional to add.
Mancino: Kevin.
Joyce: Ditto.
Mancino: Craig.
Peterson: Nothing additional.
Mancino: Thank you. I just have a couple questions. Dave. We are asking that we create,
is it swales on the west side of Lot 1, and a swale on the east side of Lot 2. So that any of
the runoff will go down the Swale, into the northern part where there's going to be a retention
pond?
Hempel: That's correct.
Mancino: Am I explaining that correctly?
Hempel: Very well, yes. We just want to maintain the neighborhood drainage patter on the
site. That we're not forcing any of the drainage as a result of the building onto the adjacent
property owners so typically the drainage swales are on the common property lines to
maintain that drainage through the property so it can get back towards Highway 7 where it
continues underneath Highway 7.
Mancino: And there is enough room between the house pad and the property line to do that?
Hempel: There will be as a result of the building. There's a minimum of 10 foot side yard
setback. It should give sufficient.
Dick Brown: I have a question in that regard too.
Mancino: Can you hold on just one second please Mr. Brown. So within that 10 feet, you
should have enough room to do that?
Hempel: That's correct. Any house plans that come in to the city for review, that's one thing
that we will look at and require as a part of the building permit. That they show the drainage
swale on the certificate of survey so they know up front that's the way it has to be graded.

Planning Commission Meeting - April 3, 1996
Mancino: Okay, thank you. Kate, one other question that I have. I'm assuming that the
Colorado Blue Spruces that are on the eastern side of the property that abut the property line
are going to stay there? They will not be.
' Aanenson: Correct. Those are on the adjacent property. They shouldn't be destroyed.
Mancino: Okay. And the ones that are on Lot 2 are going to stay? Or will be moved.
Aanenson: You can see the limits of the radin . These are the limits f h grading g g o the g ad ng nght
' here so they shouldn't be.
Mancino: They should be okay. Okay, thank you. Those are all the questions I have. Mr.
Brown, the public hearing is closed but please come up if you do have a question.
Dick Brown: What good would it do me now?
Mancino: Pardon?
' Dick Brown: What good would it do me to talk if it's closed?
Mancino: If you have a question, I will open it for you to come up and ask a question.
' Dick Brown: Oh okay. I do have an objection I think. If I understand, you're talking about
putting 6 foot of fill roughly... property behind here. You're also talking about draining the
' water to the north or towards Highway 7. I think that's probably going to impact my property
because my property was about the same level as the current property. It does get wet in the
spring and when it rains and I can just see that water draining off to the north, coming over
' to my property. How would you prevent that?
Hempel: Madam Chair, the amount of drainage from the site will not significantly increase
' with this development. Right now the water does drain north to Highway 7, towards that
ditch. There's a culvert underneath Highway 7 at that location on the property.
' Dick Brown: Where's that location?
Hempel: I'll show you on the overhead. The low point in the area is at this location here
where there's a culvert underneath Highway 7. It takes the drainage from both Highway 7
and these back yard areas underneath Highway 7 to a pond on this side of the street. With
' the homes here, all we're saying is the drainage from the front of the house will drain this
Planning Commission Meeting - April 3, 1996
way, around the houses and continue on in back to where it drains today. Just to maintain
that. We don't want to push the water off onto the adjacent property owners.
Dick Brown: I'm not trying to tell you where to drain the water. What I'm telling you is, I'm
here to tell you that there is more water back here and more water that goes to the west than
you're indicating. We live there and I see that all summer long. So I can see the drainage as
being a problem for our property. If the water comes over, we have a tree grove between the
existing property and our home now.
Mancino: Yes, I've seen it. 1
Dick Brown: What I'm trying to do is to develop some kind of a walking part in there. To
keep it natural and during the summers I work out there. There is, or there are lots of water I
problems already. I can see it being worse now.
Hempel: Mr. Brown, your residence is over here? '
Dick Brown: Yeah. I didn't see where you pointed.
Hempel: In this area to the west of the existing home here.
Dick Brown: Yeah, right. I
Hempel: The back yards all drain north towards Highway 7. There is a break here. I'm
assuming there is a drainage ditch along Highway 7 that takes the water either to the west or '
back to the east to this low point. And that's all, it could be maintained that way.
Mancino: It won't be any better than what it is now but it won't be any worse. '
Dick Brown: I hope you're right.
Mancino: I hope so too. We will do what needs to be done to make sure it isn't.
Dick Brown: Well, I don't agree with it but ... I'll be down to see the city if it doesn't work. I
Mancino: Thank you. Thank you Dave. May I have a motion please.
Mehl: I'll make a motion that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Subdivision
494 -19 as shown on the plans dated March 1, 1996, subject to the following conditions as '
outlined in the staff report.
