The applicant previously received site plan approval for this project. However, the applicant
is proposing significant changes to the building elevations and roof treatment that warrant a
new site plan review.
The applicant is proposing a 4,500 square foot Perkins Restaurant on Lot 1, Block 1,
Chanhassen Retail Third Addition. The design of Perkins is an Exterior Insulation and Finish
System (E.I.F.S.), which is a nonload bearing exterior wall cladding system consisting of an
insulation board, an adhesive and /or mechanical attachment of the insulation board to the
substrate, an internally reinforced base coat on the face of the insulation board, a protective
finish applied to the surface of the base coat and applicable accessories that interact to form
an energy efficient exterior wall, with ceramic tile accent panels at the sign panels and on the
adjacent columns. The primary building color is a brownish tan (Stolit R color 04433) with
a sandy/beige accent (Stolit R color 04432). Columns are located at the sign panels, on
building corners, and the customer entrance area. The building is 19 feet high at the top of
the parapet with a 4 3/4 foot high standing seam pitched roof element. Multi - colored window
canopy awnings are provided over the windows on the southwest corner, west and north
elevations of the building. An accent band runs below the metal roof cap, above and below
the windows, and in the vertical reveals on the building columns. Neon tubing encircles the
building below the parapet crown and around the sign panels.
The applicant's previous plan was considerably different. The applicant proposed a 5,000
square foot Perkins Restaurant on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Retail Third Addition. The
design of Perkins was stucco with a ceramic tile accent band around the entire building.
Columns were spaced 15 apart. The building was 17' 8" high with a 4%2 foot high standing
seam mansard pitched roof element on all building elevations. Window canopy awnings were
provided on two sides of the building. An accent band ran above and below the ceramic tile
accent panels and approximately 2 1 /2 feet above ground around the entire building.
The development, as revised, meets the building materials and design criteria established as
part of the PUD. The Highway 5 standards require the use of a pitched roof as well as
screening for rooftop equipment from the roadways. The applicant has incorporated pitched
' roof elements on all elevations of the building topped with a parapet wall. Staff believes
these two elevations meet the intent of the ordinance. Trash enclosures shall be
architecturally compatible with and of the same materials as the principal structure. The
' applicant is proposing the painting of cinder block for the trash enclosure which is prohibited.
Trash enclosures shall also be vegetatively screened from all right -of -ways.

Staff believes that the plan complies with the Highway 5 standards and the PUD requirements
established for this site. Staff is recommending approval of the revised site plan 95 -2 subject
to the conditions of the staff report.
The City platted Chanhassen Retail 2nd Addition on October 10, 1994. That subdivision
was the replat of Chanhassen Retail Addition Outlot B. Outlot B was created with the
"Target" plat for future development. The city created two outlots with the Chanhassen
Retail 2nd Addition. Outlot A was retained by the City for landscaping and gateway features.
Outlot B was sold to Ryan Companies.
Ryan Companies replatted Outlot B, as part of Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition, into 3 lots for
Perkins, Taco Bell, and Boston Market restaurants. The Perkins on Lot 1, Block 1 is 1.37
acres and includes a 5,000 square foot building with 85 parking stalls and Taco Bell on Lot 3,
Block 1 is 0.84 and includes a 1,800 square foot building with 34 parking stalls. The
subdivision and site plan approval for Perkins and Taco Bell was given on October 10, 1994.
The Boston Market restaurant is a 3,100 square foot structure on Lot 2, Block 1, which is
0.95 acres. The site plan for Boston Market was approved on February 13, 1995.
The applicant is proposing a 4,500 square foot Perkins Restaurant on Lot 1, Block 1,
Chanhassen Retail Third Addition. The design of Perkins is an Exterior Insulation and Finish
System (E.I.F.S.), which is a nonload bearing exterior wall cladding system consisting of an
insulation board, an adhesive and /or mechanical attachment of the insulation board to the
substrate, an internally reinforced base coat on the face of the insulation board, a protective
finish applied to the surface of the base coat and applicable accessories that interact to form
an energy efficient exterior wall, with ceramic tile accent panels at the sign panels and on the
adjacent columns. Columns are located at the sign panels, building corners, and the
customer entrance area. The building is 19 feet high at the top of the parapet with a 4 3/4
foot high standing seam pitched roof element on all elevations. Window canopy awnings are
provided over the windows on the southwest corner, west and north elevations of the building.
An accent band runs below the metal roof cap, above and below the windows, and in vertical
reveals on the building columns.

e. Building Materials and Design
The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural
standards and site design. All mechanical equipment shall be screened with material
compatible to the building.
1. All materials shall be of high quality and durable. Masonry material shall be
used. Color shall be introduced through colored block or panels. Painted
surfaces shall be allowed on the Target store only.
2. Brick may be used and must be approved to assure uniformity.
3. Block shall have a weathered face or be polished, fluted, or broken face.
4. Concrete may be poured in place, tilt -up or pre -cast, and shall be finished in
stone, textured or coated.
5. Metal standing seam siding will not be approved except as support material to
one of the above materials or curtain wall on office components.
6. All accessory structures shall be designed to be compatible with the primary
structure.
7. All roof mounted equipment shall be screened by pitched roofs, except for the
Target store shall have a parapet wall for screening. Wood screen fences are
prohibited. Screening shall consist of compatible materials.
8. All outlots shall be designed with similar material and colors as Target.
(Target was the first store to build and they establish or set the theme.)
9. All buildings on Outlot B shall have a pitched roof line.
FINDING: The development meets the building materials and design criteria established as
part of the PUD. The Highway 5 standards require the use of a pitched roof as well as
screening for rooftop equipment from the roadways. The applicant has incorporated pitched
roof elements on all elevations of the building topped with a parapet wall. Staff believes
these elevations meet the intent of the ordinance. Trash enclosures shall be architecturally
compatible with and of the same materials as the principal structure. The applicant is
proposing the painting of cinder block for the trash enclosure which is prohibited. Trash

enclosures shall also be vegetatively screened from all right -of -ways. The applicant must also
provide for a roof access stair complying with MSBC 1300.4500. This revision to the plans
must be made before issuing building permits.
The applicant has incorporated all of the important architectural features in their revised plans.
Because the column areas project out from the structure, staff believes that the use of recessed
areas for shading will not be necessary. Additionally, staff has agreed with the applicant that
incorporation of accent panels in all columns would make the architecture too "busy" which
would detract, rather than enhance the structure.
f. Site Landscaping and Screening
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.
1. All open spaces and non - parking lot surfaces (outlot) shall be landscaped, or
covered with plantings and /or lawn material.
2. Outdoor storage is prohibited.
3. The master landscape plan for the Target 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.
5. Loading areas shall be screened from public right -of -ways. Wing walls may be
required where deemed appropriate.
6. Outlot B shall be seeded and maintained in a weed free condition in all areas
proposed for future development.
FINDING: The applicant has prepared a landscaping plan for the development. The
landscape plan needs to be revised as follows: add three red oaks on the west side of the
parking lot, add one hackberry in the southwest corner of the parking lot, and add one black
hills spruce to screen dumpster area; revise plant schedule to specify 4 skyline honey locust, 3
sugar maple, 4 black hills spruce, and 12 clavey's dwarf honeysuckles; delete red splendor
crab (unless used for foundation planting), delete spring snow crab (unless used for foundation
planting), delete colorado green spruce, jackman potentilla (unless used for foundation
planting), and delete snowmound spirea (unless used for foundation planting); and provide

Page 8
foundation plantings per city code. The applicant shall install an aeration /irrigation tubing, see
figures 11 -2, in each peninsular or island type landscape area less than 10 feet in width.
g. Signage
One freestanding pole sign be permitted for Target and one for the other buildings in
Outlot B. All buildings in Outlot B should be limited to monument signs.
1. Each property shall be allowed one monument sign located near the driveway
into the private site. Monument signage shall be subject to the monument
standards in the sign ordinance.
2. Wall signs are permitted on no more that 2 street frontages. The total of all
wall mounted sign display areas shall not exceed fifteen (15) percent of the
total area of the building wall upon which the signs are mounted.
3. All signs require a separate permit.
4. The signage will have consistency throughout the development and shall tie the
building materials to be consistent with the signs. This includes the
freestanding wall and monument signs. Signs shall be an architecture feature,
they shall not be solely mounted on a pole of a foundation.
5. Consistency in signage shall relate to color, size, materials, and heights.
FINDING: The applicant has met the intent of the PUD standards for the site. The applicant
is permitted wall signs on only two walls per building up to a maximum of 15 percent of the
wall area. Only one pylon sign is permitted for the three lots. Each parcel may have an
individual monument sign on their lot. The applicant shall incorporate individual dimensioned
letters within the development. Monument and pylon signs shall be a minimum of 10 feet
from the property line. No backlit awnings shall be permitted. No brightly colored striping
or bands shall be permitted.
The applicant is also proposing the installation of a 70 foot high flag pole to be located on
the east side of the structure. Staff is recommending that the maximum size of the flag be
limited to 80 square feet consistent with a pylon sign in a commercial district.

h. Lighting
1. All light fixtures shall be shielded high pressure sodium fixtures. Light level
for site lighting shall be no more than lh candle at the property line. This does
not apply to street lighting.
2. Glare, whether direct or reflected, as differentiated from general illumination
shall not be visible beyond the limits of the site from which it originates.
3. Lights shall be on a photoelectric cell to turn them on and off automatically as
activated by yearly conditions.
4. Light poles shall be Cortex, shoe box light standards.
FINDING: The development complies with the lighting requirements established in the
PUD. Lights shall incorporate photoelectric cells for automatic activation.
Access to the site shall be provided via Target Lane and an internal private street system.
The Fire Marshal has noted that one additional "No Parking - Fire Lane" sign must be placed
on the north side of the building. In addition, where "No Parking Fire Lane" signs are
installed, curbing must be painted yellow. This should be indicated on the overall site plan.
Also, a 10 foot clear space must be maintained around all fire hydrants.
The Planning Commission was concerned about providing pedestrian access into the site.
Staff believes that the sidewalk along Target Lane provides adequate pedestrian access to the
site. If the city were to require an internal sidewalk, it would be necessary to sacrifice some
of the landscape area and tree plantings, another city goal, to accommodate this sidewalk.
Any additional pedestrian crosswalks, except at the entrance to the project, would not be
prudent or safely designed without additional stop signs. Inevitably, individuals will take the
most direct path into the site. Staff is recommending that a five foot concrete sidewalk be
provided from Powers Boulevard to the northwest corner of the parking lot. This sidewalk, in
conjunction with the other sidewalks being provided, will permit pedestrian access from all
directions into Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition.

LANDSCAPING
' The applicant has prepared a landscaping plan for the development. The landscape plan
needs to be revised as follows: add three red oaks on the west side of the parking lot, add
one hackberry in the southwest corner of the parking lot, and add one black hills spruce to

delete colorado green spruce, jackman potentilla (unless used for foundation planting), and
delete snowmound spirea (unless used for foundation planting); and provide foundation
' plantings per city code. The applicant shall install an aeration/irrigation tubing, see figures 11-
2, in each peninsular or island type landscape area less than 10 feet in width.
' ('TRADING /DRAINAGE
The site in general will be graded by the developer, Ryan Companies. It appears the site plan
' is compatible with the proposed site grades. The parking lot drainage also appears to be
compatible with the master site plan for Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition. The only change
' that staff sees on the plan would be the location of the sidewalk adjacent to Target Lane. The
sidewalk should be relocated to access the service drive where the stop sign is located to
provide safe crossing movements for pedestrians.
' Erosion control measures on the site have been installed by the developer with the initial site
grading. This applicant should be responsible for maintaining the erosion control on the site
' until the site has been fully revegetated.

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;
(3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by
minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping
with the general appearance of the neighboring developed 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;
(5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features,
with 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;
C. 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

Finding: The proposed development meets the intent and standards established as part
' of the Highway 5 and the PUD standards imposed on the project as well as site plan
requirements.
The Planning Commission met on June 7, 1995 to review the proposed site plan. The
' Commission tabled the item to permit the applicant to revise the plans based on staff
recommendations. In addition, the Commission requested that staff look at the pedestrian
access into the site.

SUBJECT: 94 -5 SPR (Perkins Family Restaurant, Guy Payne)
I was asked to review the site plan proposal stamped "CITY OF CHANHASSEN, RECEIVED,
MAY 0 8 19 9 5, CHANHASSEN PLANNING DEPT. ° for the above referenced project.
Analysis:
Due to winter conditions the Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) has provisions for access
to rooftop equipment. MSBC 1300.4500 states in part, "A stairway complying with UBC
Chapter 10 or a Stair leading to a scuttle or bulkhead in the roof..." must be installed. This
requirement precludes the use of a ladder to access rooftop equipment.
An exterior stairway to access rooftop equipment must comply with UBC Chapter 10. An
interior stairway may comply with UBC Chapter 10 or the specific requirements listed in MSBC
1300.4500 for a roof 'access stair.
Recommendation:
1. Provide for a roof access stair complying with MSBC 1300.4500. This revision to the
plans must be made before issuing building permits.

Hardware cloth (coarse metal screening) under the covers has been used to keep rats
out; but the wire must be inspected frequently to prevent girdling.
Perforated PVC pipe (100- to 125 -mm, 4- to 5 -in. diameter and 0.6- to 1 -m,
2- to 3 -ft long) is commonly put in two or four corners of a planter opening for
aeration and irrigation. As the people in Europe learned, dead -end aeration holes
in the soil are seldom adequate. Connecting the bottoms of two or more of the
vertical aeration pipes, however, allows air flow through the tubes, greatly increas-
ing the oxygen concentration and aeration effectiveness (Kopinga 1985) (Fig. 11 -2).
Figure 11 -2 Aeration in pavement plantings can be increased by joining
two vertical aeration pipes across the bottom of the planting hole, one pair
each near opposite sides of the planting hole. ,Oxygen concentration in
the pipes will be ten times greater than in vertical pipes alone (Kopinga
1985). Aeration could be further increased by having aeration risers as
shown in Fig. 11 -3 also serve as protective stanchions for the tree.
If the soil is compacted around the planter opening and under the pavement:
aeration may also be increased and roots directed downward by drilling or water
jetting sloping irrigation and aeration holes under and out from the root ball an
under the pavement. Within a year or two the holes are filled with roots. s

GUY PAYNE.
Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item.
Mancino: Bob, have you had time to make a thorough review of this new plan? When did
you receive it?
Generous: Well he had tried to fax it today but I just got it when the applicant showed up
for the public hearing.
Mancino: Okay. So you have not gone through and done a thorough review?
Generous: Right.
Mancino: So that you could tell us whether it meets all the Highway 5.
Generous: Well it appears to. There's some other architectural features that I spelled out in
the Alternate 2 recommendation that I wasn't able to ascertain whether or not those had been
incorporated also. But maybe the applicant would be able to answer some of those questions.
Thank you.
Mancino: Thank you. Did the commissioners have any questions of staff at this point?
Okay, thank you. Would the applicant like to make a presentation please?
Guy Payne: Sure. My name's Guy Payne. I'm the Manager of Architectural Services with
Perkins. To start off I'll just show you a photograph of this architectural building, what we're

doing with that before we add the metal roof. That gives you really the two views of which
we're pretty much ... I guess you're going to ... tell you where, how this evolved. We started out
with that older building. It took us some, over 2 years ago. It's taken that long to ever get
the project going. A lot has to do with the acquisition of the DOT property which is part of
our's and all of that to get the project off the ground. In that meantime, that building we
originally submitted, we're not building any longer and we've gone to what we felt a more
exciting, particularly interior and exterior. A little more exciting and more intimate dining
experience. So we went ahead and bid it out with the older building. The price came in
quite a bit over budget so that's why we re- submitted with a different building since the other
one was approved. So in order to make, just a little bit about this building. Some of the
exterior, it's kind of obvious but something we've really worked on is to come one of our
phototypical elements is this arched opening appears the same as on this. It's become a new
standard for us, and we're even doing it all over Minneapolis in exterior remodels.
Incorporating this same element so that's become a vital part of our exterior design that we're
using. The interior of this building is also, that was one thing that, particularly our Chairman
of the Board really wanted to get away from, the interior of our, the first building we
presented was just, you came in and you had one large dining room where this, with the
corner entry, you come in and it provides two different views. A lot of separate dining
spaces and a lot more intimate dining space instead of just a big cafeteria type space. This is
has not it exactly but it's similar interior that would go into that. A new interior scheme that
we've come up with. I mean it's not that exact building but it will be all the same type decor.
Same finishes. Going back to, but we felt this building, obviously those two sides are the
most important views and the other two could be a little lax so in order to, if I had gotten the
information sooner I probably would have had the information back to you all sooner but I
was trying to redesign the building to incorporate as much of the changes as I could and still
keep it somewhat within the budget. So I've got a handout I'll... and you can see it and
hopefully it will clarify some questions. I've got... copies. In each it has a roof plan which
you can see some new roof areas that we've added and then the elevations, revised elevations.
So I'll give you each a copy. And the reason I'm showing this building is just for the, we've
gone to this to replace, just to acquaint you all, we're using this stripe in it. ...which is what
we've gone...
Mancino: Thank you. Mr. Payne, can you explain again what we're looking at here.
Guy Payne: Okay. This is basically the same. It's the typical, we call it 9048 Prototype is
the building we're proposing and those two sides are more aesthetically pleasing.
Mancino: Architecturally pleasing?
2
Planning Commission Meeting - June 7, 1995
Guy Payne: Yeah. So and you really can't see the other two sides in this photograph. We
can't ever get everything in there so on the elevations, you can see what we've added. I guess
you can kind of compare what...We've come back and added a metal roof all the way around.
You also have.
Mancino: And what's this for?
Guy Payne: That's just for the awnings. That's what the color of the stripes would be. So
you'd have an idea.
Nutting: Are they all in green or are some blue up here?
Guy Payne: It's all green. Green. Green and white. Red and white stripes...
Nutting: Are you going to put these awnings on this building?
Guy Payne: Not, except the corners. That will go all over except for the two corners. The
yellow...
Nutting: The rest of them would be these?
Guy Payne: Yeah. And I understand they say no back lit awnings and that's okay. We at
least want to keep that awning... The reduction of the flag is okay. Last time we didn't even
get a flag so I guess that's some improvement that we get an 80 square foot flag, because
that's sort of important to us. His other comments concerning landscaping... incorporate that
into the landscape plan ... It'd be basically the same stucco as the other building so. I guess
another comment, it's just a matter of evaluating the elevation we're proposing. All the other
comments are pretty much acceptable as far as the other conditions site wise. This is the
exactly same size that we took the diskette, the ... diskette of the other building. Took it off
and plopped this other one so we didn't change the site plan layout whatsoever. It has all the
same features that were approved when it was first submitted. Any questions?
Mancino: Any questions from the commissioners? Can you show me on the, on your ... there,
where the neon tubular lighting is?
Guy Payne: Right there. Which would go all the way around the building.
Mancino: So it would go along the top of the building.

' Guy Payne: Right. And then you have this accent band that wraps all the way around the
building and then you have the two different colors so you can get a little punch out of that,
similar to on the back elevation you also have a band that goes all the way around. So it did
' have some features beyond just a blank wall. And I think with the addition of the metal roof,
it makes it pretty comparable to the front two views.
' Mancino: And is that on 24 hours a day?
Guy Payne: You mean the neon one?
I Mancino: Yes.
Guy Payne: No. I mean it's only the night hours.
Mancino: Okay. Secondly, do you have any pieces of the sprayed...
' Guy Payne: All the same color materials that we proposed before.
Mancino: Now is that a, is it a sprayed insulation which adheres to the structure?
Guy Payne: No. Basically what it is, you put your stud wall up. You put the plywood
1 backing. You come down, you attach st board like an inch and a half, an inch of
Styrofoam and then you come and put a plastic mesh over the styrofoam and then there's
a couple of-and then you come back with a color finish and trawl so it's like stucco but a
' true stucco, you put over the styrofoam basically is the difference.
' Mancino: Okay, thank you.
Conrad: I think Americana Community Bank has the same system.
' Mancino: The same, okay. Are there Perkins of this architectural style already in the Twin
Cities?
' Guy Payne: We built a new one in Eagan and Lake Street and they're a little different. They
have the same materials. I think probably the most comparable things you could see were the
' exterior remodels around town that have, as I mentioned, have the same exact stucco and
artist detail and awnings. I think that probably would be the most similar about anything we
really have going.
4
Planning Commission Meeting - June 7, 1995
Nutting: Do you have a color representation of the old design with you at all? That was
approved.
Guy Payne: No, not with me. As I said, we're really not building it any longer. A lot of, it
had the exact same colors in it. It had the same metal roof. The same green ceramic tile in
it. So really there's no change at all with the coloring scheme. It's just the arrangements,
configuration on the building itself.
Nutting: But that was the style, the style that was proposed you said was a style that was in
existence for a while and you were phasing out?
Guy Payne: Yeah. Basically we're doing it more for interior purposes than anything. The
interior just was one big open dining room and we tried to take it and incorporate more of a
broken up dining spaces so you're not just one big dining area. Cafeteria type space. We
wanted more intimate dining spaces so that's how these, how this and another prototype we're
building evolved. The corner entry with broke up dining spaces so you get more interesting
interior space out of it. The bakery is a big strong point as you come in. You have a real
strong bakery area with signage and stuff, so I think overall it's just a lot more exciting
building.
Nutting: I'm just trying to visualize what you're saying. So without the corner entrance
you're not able to create some of those interior enhancements?
Guy Payne: Right. Interesting spaces.
Nutting: But I'm not disagreeing with him. Just trying to clarify what he's saying. So it's
that issue plus you said we're building that for a prototype that has been used before, it came
in way over budget.
Guy Payne: Right. If we had built it when we first started working on the project two years
ago, we probably could have, it probably would have been in the budget. But in those two
years the price of construction has gone up so much, that's why we had to go to a smaller
building. And that's why we had to look at our smaller prototype to put in there.
Nutting: So this is a smaller overall footprint?
Guy Payne: Yeah.
Nutting: What was the first footprint?
5
Planning Commission Meeting - June 7, 1995
Nutting: So we're at 5,000.
Guy Payne: ...over 6,000.
Guy Payne: Just under 4,500.
Mancino: Oh! We're not at 5,000 anymore?
Nutting: It says 5,000 in the staff report.
Guy Payne: Yeah. It was actually 6,000.
Nutting: No, but the revised plan that is 5,000 or 4,500?
Guy Payne: It's really about under 4,500. I think on one of our site plans ... and somebody
had put ... which is not accurate. It may affect... That one space...
Mancino: Any other questions for Mr. Payne? Thank you very much.
Guy Payne: Okay.
Mancino: Appreciate it.
Guy Payne: I guess just to finalize, we've been working with it for so long, we'd certainly
like to move forward so. I know, I don't know the status of Taco Bell and the Boston
Chicken, or whatever they're calling themselves now, but we'd like to make progress so we'd
like to get a decision tonight if possible. See if we could negotiate something.
Mancino: Okay, thank you. May I have a motion to open for public hearing?
Meyer moved, Conrad seconded to open the public hewing. All voted in favor and the
motion carried. The public hewing was opened.
Mancino: Does anyone wish to address the Planning Commission? The public hearing is
open. Seeing that no one does, can I have a motion to close the public hearing?
Conrad moved, Meyer seconded to close the public hewing. All voted in favor and the
motion carried. The public hewing was closed.
Mancino: Discussion from commission members. Ron.
n.
Planning Commission Meeting - June 7, 1995
Nutting: I liked the first one better. I guess what I've, we're not going through the interior of
the building to pick it apart and to come up with how to design the space layout to create
some of those pockets for more intimate settings but I'm not, I don't know that I care for the
neon along the top and the awning. Just to clarify, the original awnings on the first site were
proposed to be the solid yellow? Okay. I think I prefer that better than the green, white, red
and yellow stripe combination that I have here in front of me. Staff, the revisions you've
made do, according to staff, seem to be moving in the direction of suggestions that they're
looking for in terms of a proposal to make it acceptable but I'm not, I'm kind of hearing Bob
saying that but I'm also hearing we didn't fully have enough time to address everything and so
I'm more inclined to want to see and or hear staffs full assessment of these revisions they just
got before changing it. I need to feel real comfortable with that before I can move this one
along because I think the changes that are, I think it's a much different project with the
changes that are made. And so I guess I would be of the opinion to table it until next
meeting and get staffs full report.
Mancino: Bob.
Skubic: I agree with Ron. And with those 14 recommendations where Alternate 2 ... proposed
here... information here and staff hasn't had time to review it. I agree.
Mancino: Thank you. Mike.
Meyer: I'm going with the status quo here. I am in agreement to that. I'd like to see the
full, the plans. Have them have a chance to review it and get their comments and everything
before we go ahead.
Mancino: Okay, thank you. Ladd.
Conrad: I think I'm okay with the direction. We don't have the old prototype to put in.
We're going to put in a new product. They don't build the old one. What was given to me in
the staff report was not acceptable and I think the recommendation and the alterations that
were presented tonight are getting close. We have a key piece of property in Chanhassen
that's visible from four sides. It's probably one of the few that's visible from four sides so we
care about that. And I think we have to, we should in this in case make a good product. So
I'm in agreement. I think it's going the right direction. I think staff needs time to review it.
I'd like to see some of their recommendations incorporated into the applicant's proposal so we
can forward on something that they've had time to review and is more complete.
Mancino: Thank you. I also agree with the four other commissioners. I'll be a little more
specific in some of my comments and that is that I think directionally what we see tonight is
7
J
Planning Commission Meeting - June 7, 1995
going in the right direction. I do want to say that on the approved plan in some of the
exterior elevations the back, which is really facing Highway 5, not only has the roof but has
some columns or something architecturally there breaking up the back of it. And I think that
we also need that on the east side too because people coming in from the west part of
Chanhassen on Highway 5, that's what they're going to see. I have two other comments. I
guess more or less questions for Bob and that is, if we are within the ordinance, there are no
Highway 5 guidelines. One has to do with the pedestrian accessibility to this Perkins and as I
look on page, Sheet No. C -1. One of the intent statements, purpose statements in the HC -1
District under the Highway 5 corridor. It says that ample consideration shall be given to the
width of the interior drives. Interior traffic movement and flow. Separation of pedestrian,
cycling, automobile and delivery traffic. How are we getting people, whether it's cyclists or
pedestrians, to walk from Target or from into Perkins without going through a parking lot?
Without going through a lot of automobile traffic. I don't see that.
Generous: Well not into the interior specifically.
Mancino: Well up to the front door so you can enter the restaurant so that people can
actually walk from one place to another.
Generous: There's nothing specifically on this plan that will, except for walking on the
landscaping. We have that sidewalk that comes from Target Lane and that connects to West
78th Street which is another sidewalk.
Mancino: I would like to see more consideration given to that then. How they're going to,
' how people will walk from Target Lane and be able to walk into the Perkins restaurant
without going through automobile traffic. And whether that's on the north side of the parking
' lot, and you come around. Or just again, ample consideration because I don't think much has
been given to that. It doesn't look like it.

Aanenson: Well I guess we felt like we lost that argument when Target came in. Remember
there was a lot of discussion and the Planning Commission felt strongly about putting a
walkway through the middle of Target. As I recall, the Planning Commission was adamant
about that. And as it went through the process the Council felt like, because there was a
sidewalk on West 78th, that that accomplished that and Target was reluctant to do that
because of the shopping cart issue. So I agree. I think the staff agrees. I think the Planning
Commission felt strongly. It would have been nice to have a walkway through the parking
lot so we didn't have that conflict. Unfortunately, you have to go either north, or as Bob
indicated, south along the front. To try to, so the linkage, the only opportunity we have now,
once you get west of the Target Lane to try to connect. We can certainly look at that.

Planning Commission Meeting - June 7, 1995
Mancino: Okay.
Aanenson: I understand the issue and it's important, sure. And we felt bad when we didn't
accomplish it with the Target site plan because that is a large parking lot.
Conrad: You ought to see what the K -Marts in Naples, Florida are doing. Exactly what we
wanted to do with Target. Exactly. Now they don't have snow removal problems.
Aanenson: Right, and that was the big issue I think with Target.
Conrad: But you know, it's just real fascinating to see what other communities are doing and
we should have done it. We really blew that issue for no good reason, and that's too bad.
That doesn't reflect. That's gone so we can't.
Mancino: So let's not keep blowing it.
Conrad: Well, because that's not there, then we don't have, I don't know what we can
accomplish. But I think your connectivity is still a valid issue. I think we've got a sidewalk
that probably doesn't lead anyplace other than to, well I'm not sure where it leads to but
anyway, I think staff should look at that.
Mancino: Well and even if there's a designated crosswalk, you know pavers or
Aanenson: Right. Which we did by Target. There's a stopping zone where you have to
watch for pedestrians coming out of the store. I think we have the same situation at Byerly's
where you've got that striped area and maybe that's a way to accomplish it. So people are
more cognizant of watching for the conflicting movements.
Mancino: We have cyclists all over on weekends, stopping and getting their cappucino from
Perkins, etc. My other concern, having to do with this chapter on the Highway 5 corridor, is
that it says that parking areas shall not be located within the required minimum front yard
setback of any lot. And then there is a diagram that shows that there should be no parking in
front yards. Now according to this document Perkins has two front yards. It has Highway 5
and the West 78th, is that correct?
Generous: Or Target Lane.
Mancino: Or Target Lane. Are we, Bob tell me. How come we have parking between
Highway 5 and the actual building? I got the impression from reading this that there is to be
no parking in the front yard area...

Planning Commission Meeting - June 7, 1995
Aanenson: ...the existing one, we went with the underlying.
Mancino: Yes. It starts at Powers and the other districts starts once you get west of Powers.
Generous: Actually the only frontage this has is Target Lane. Because the city's outlot
surrounds it. Then Lot 2.
Mancino: Okay, so it doesn't sit on Highway 5.
' Aanenson: Yeah, the rest of the Highway 5 corridor starts when you get west of Powers.
Generous: Yes, and the parking is a layout of staff criteria and what was established as a part
' of the PUD. Because they had to provide what would be, because of public safety issues,
they had to revise the radius of the entryway that serves all three properties. And so they lost
some parking on the east side of the project. And they made it up, they could make some of
' it up on the west side of the project. For that very reason that they're not actually fronting on
public right -of -way on those other sides. They meet the setbacks.
' Aanenson: Yeah, what you're not seeing there is the landscaped area that the city will be
doing between their property line, yeah the outlot.
' Mancino: And we will be landscaping that eastern end of the parking lot quite well?
' Generous: You mean the southeast corner? Oh yeah.
Mancino: Thank you. Those are my concerns. Questions I wanted you to look at and
' otherwise, I would like to see this come back again and to have staff do a review of it for us.
So with that, may I have a motion?
' Nutting: I'll make a motion that the Planning Commission table Site Plan #94 -6 prepared by
RLK Associates and John P. Shaw, dated May 8, 1995 pending staff review and analysis for
the Commission of the recent changes submitted by the applicant. That's it.
' Mancino: Do I have a second?

Mancino: It's been moved and seconded. Is there any discussions?

Mancino: So it will be tabled and we'll see it again when?
Aanenson: Our preference would be on the 26th because we don't have a meeting the first
one in July because we decided we probably wouldn't have a quorum on July 5th. So if we
can get it on in 2 weeks.
Mancino: Okay, so Mr. Payne, in 2 weeks. June 26th it will come back.
Aanenson: Sorry, it's the 21st.
Mancino: 21st. June 21st. And I encourage you and staff to work out everything so it's

Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item.
Mancino: Thank you Bob. Do any of the commissioners have questions for Bob? Or staff
at this point. Would the applicant like to approach the Planning Commission please.
Guy Payne: I'm Guy Payne with Perkins Family Restaurant... and after the last meeting we,
and in meeting with Bob also after the meeting, we incorporated the recommended details...
and columns that were provided ... and hopefully that meets everything requested. That's pretty
much it. If you want to ask questions. Comments.
Mancino: Thank you. Does anyone have a question for Mr. Payne?
Farmakes: I maybe do. Do we have, are those from last time?
Mancino: This was from last time. These were the same. We should use these as visual
references Mr. Payne for what we see?
Guy Payne: Yes.
Mancino: This is, Jeff I'm not sure you were here but this is what we received last time.
Guy Payne: That's just ... the striped awning. The other one is the, that actual prototype, that
second photo. And that's a photograph up to the elevations of that same building that we're
1
Planning Commission Meeting - June 21, 1995
planning to provide. That doesn't have the view of the, the back two views ... so we have to
look at those building elevations and try to see how that's going to incorporate.
Mancino: Excuse me, I have a couple questions.
Peterson: Can I ask a question please?
Mancino: Sure. I am looking at your A -3. I don't know if you have one, do you have one
in front of you?
Guy Payne: No.
Mancino: Okay. Which says right side elevation. Bob, is that right side elevation facing
south or Highway 5? Am I understanding that right side elevation?
Generous: That would be the Highway 5 elevation.
Mancino: Okay. My question on that elevation is, as I look at the new drawings that we
have and I see where the columns are going to go. I am assuming that those columns will,
excuse me Jeff, have the detail in them that are on this photo and that means that there's some
recess in the middle of the column.
Guy Payne: Right, that's correct.
Mancino: That's correct? They will still have those.
Guy Payne: Right. Now they have two different colors in it so it will break up the...
Mancino: Okay. So they won't be plain, thank you. My other question is, that around this
particular prototype building there is a sidewalk so that when there is a parking lot around the
building everyone, when they get out of their car, goes to the sidewalk and then goes to the
entrance. Will this Perkins have a sidewalk around the building much like there is on, the
only reference that I know that's around here is the Sydney's on Highway 7. It has parking
all around it. When you get out of your car, you go to the sidewalk. It surrounds the
building and it makes it.
Guy Payne: This basically has sidewalk around two sides, which is where the majority of the
parking is.
!7
L
L
Planning Commission Meeting - June 21, 1995
' Mancino: Don't we have parking on all sides of the building? Surrounding the building on
this.
' Generous: Yes.
Mancino: So when people get out of their cars on the two sides that don't have parking, can
' you show me Bob how that works? One of my issues was being pedestrian friendly and
getting people into the building safely.
' Generous: The primary customer entrances are I believe in the northwest corner of this site
so they do have access from the northwest and east on the sidewalk system. I'd anticipate,
since the south elevation has a service entrance, that that's primarily where they'd have their
' employee parking. And they do have the short sidewalks right into the building at those
points. But people would generally have to walk across the parking lot to get to the sidewalk
on the north.
' Mancino: But there is a sidewalk there to collect people and I know ... to that sidewalk on the
north side from what I'm seeing here. That is correct?
Aanenson: Right.
' Mancino: And I also, I think what I see is an apron or a sidewalk also on that east side
where there is so much parking that faces Target.
' Generous: There is just the end of the sidewalk. It wouldn't be on the side of the building I
don't believe.
' Mancino: This is from last week's plan that weren't included.
' Generous: You mean the perimeter one? Or the one down Target Lane?
Mancino: As you come here and park and you walk up here, you're on a sidewalk that takes
you to the entrance of the building.
Generous: No. I don't believe there's anything proposed on the east elevation.
' Guy Payne: No. We're really trying to do some landscaping since on the north and south
we're sort of high. On the south there's virtually no room to even put a sidewalk. Then the
' east we were really trying to put the landscaping along the side and then people would walk
along, up until they get up to the north sidewalk and tie in there.
Planning Commission Meeting s June 21, 1995
Mancino: So people again are going to walk kind of kitty corner through the parking lot to
the front entrance versus coming up here to the sidewalk and.
Guy Payne: Yes.
Mancino: Can you drop people off in this area? Is there enough of an apron area?
Guy Payne: Sure.
Mancino: For people to be let off.
Guy Payne: Sure.
Mancino: Okay. And are there places for bikes, etc to park?
Guy Payne: There could be on that east side.
Peterson: How many feet of landscaping is there? What's the scale? Quarter inch. As far as
the landscaping around the building on the east side. Is there room for a sidewalk and
landscaping or not?
Guy Payne: On that side?
Mancino: On the east side, where the main entrance is?
Guy Payne: That'd be very ... put a sidewalk. That would take up almost to the end of that
building there. Since we're so tight on the north because normally we would have more in
the north and the south where we could scoot it down with the landscaping on the north side
but then the configuration of the lot as is, we really could ... And there really will be more
landscaping than what's shown on the east side. That's not totally complete. Right now it's
showing...
Mancino: Thank you. Any other questions of Mr. Payne at this time?
Farmakes: I have... again what the primary reason is to come back before the Planning
Commission versus the previous?
Guy Payne: It was a recommendation to increase metal roofs and other ornaments to the
building on the ... side so that's why we come back and resubmit it because it was suggested
there wasn't enough architectural treatment.
4
Planning Commission Meeting - June 21, 1995
Farmakes: If by that, the previous building as I understand was stucco?
Guy Payne: Same materials. All the same color materials...
Farmakes: Am I, I have the older plans and I'm seeing different materials drawn on the
outside of the building. Is that?
Guy Payne: Different material?
Farmakes: Well, it's showing stucco and so on.
Guy Payne: Same thing on the building.
Farmakes: Same thing.
Generous: The primary difference was that had the massive roof on the top and it was a
slightly bigger building. Actually 500 square feet larger I believe.
Guy Payne: It was 1,500 square foot larger building.
Farmakes: In going to the awning situation. On the awnings that we approved before.
Mancino: Were not striped.
Farmakes: Were not striped, but they were not all yellow either. They were green and
yellow, were they not?
Guy Payne: No. They were all yellow.
Farmakes: They were all yellow?
Aanenson: But they were not to be back lit though.
Farmakes: Did we discuss the issue, and it's been a while since we approved this so I'm
trying kind of ... memory to go through this. There was a question in the previous one about
neon and what we discussed about how that fit into what the PUD covenants were.
Aanenson: Well the first one didn't have neon on it.
Generous: No, it didn't have neon on it.
5
Planning Commission Meeting - June 21, 1995
Aanenson: Well the back lighting we said we couldn't allow. The awnings.
Farmakes: Okay, we have neon striping on the plans that I see in front of me.
Aanenson: Yes.
Farmakes: And how does that relate to the covenants of the rest of the building in the
general area? I don't believe we have any other buildings in Chanhassen with neon striping
on it.
Generous: Not that I'm aware of
Mancino: No, we don't.
Farmakes: Does that single it out within the covenants of the Target and the outlot?
Generous: Not within the PUD it wasn't addressed either way.
Farmakes: So that wouldn't be substantially different than from the surrounding building?
Generous: I don't know. Not substantially I don't believe. You have the other buildings in
the downtown that have their large sign areas that are back lit and that acts the same way. It
gives off that blue or green or red glow.
Mancino: Bob, that's only the signage area, isn't it though?
Generous: Yes,
Mancino: It's not surrounding. It doesn't run the perimeter of the entire building so this
would set a precedent.
Farmakes: The reason I'm bringing it up, and since I believe in your report it talks about
bright bands or, and we never did address the issue. I was talking about colors versus neon
and that's ... in the report. So I'm trying to establish, because I couldn't recall whether we had
discussed it on the previous page or not.
Generous: I don't remember discussing it.
Farmakes: Because I understood it wasn't an issue. It wasn't submitted as such. This is
different.
9
1
Planning Commission Meeting - June 21, 1995
Generous: Well it wasn't submitted. They did have the neon banding around and it was
mentioned in the report but I didn't, you know, feel that that was a big issue.
Guy Payne: And we had basically the same neon wrapping all the way around the building
on the previous submission.
Farmakes: I noticed that, since this is back and forth, I've noticed in looking at the Perkins in
Hopkins, which I drove by today, all the awnings on the building are green except for the
yellow one that's in front of the entrance and I'm just wondering what consistency Perkins has
in regards to it's awning maker.
Guy Payne: This stripe is the standard. 3M's our... company and we worked it with 3M in
developing this new awning and as a matter of fact, I talked to the 3M rep yesterday and they
already produced 100 of those stripes for us and we've already used them all up so that's our
standard. We've tried it in probably 4 or 5 locations of the different awning. The yellow and
green. That's a test basis and basically this yellow with the stripe in it is our standard. So
there's quite a few being, either done or being done in the Minneapolis area right now to our
existing restaurants.
Farmakes: So you're familiar with the Perkins I'm talking about?
Guy Payne: I am, however I'm not sure. We had one other scheme that was being done.
That may be the same one. It had.
Farmakes: This has arched windows.
Guy Payne: Right. And it had a green awning with a yellow stripe in it and then the others
were yellow with a green stripe. That's probably what you saw.
Farmakes: No. I saw, all the arched windows had green awnings. Solid green, and the color
scheme of yellow was in front of the entrance.
Guy Payne: That's probably that same one. It should have a little yellow stripe around it.
It's only a small, you may not even notice it.
Farmakes: The reason I'm asking you this is that we've had this discussion before. I think
with Taco Bell and some others who came in with color schemes that they're supplying and
the obvious question we have is how consistent is this and so on with what we're seeing
because they change. They seemingly change from store to store.
7
Planning Commission Meeting - June 21, 1995
Guy Payne: Yeah, but that's not true in this case even though out of 200 awnings or so put
up, about 3 or 4 have that yellow and green one whereas all the others are doing striped.
Farmakes: The garbage collection area is leaning towards the most predominant junction. CR
17 and TH 5. Will there be any banners placed on?
Guy Payne: Banners?
Farmakes: Banners. We've had some other.
Guy Payne: Banners on the dumpster?
Farmakes: Yeah. No, on the shield. We've had some retail operations here in town that
have been doing that.
Guy Payne: No. We want to de- accentuate it. Not call attention to it. And that will be
done in the same stucco to match the building so it will blend in as well as possible.
Farmakes: The coverage on that. What would you determine on the landscape that we're
looking at there? What type of real coverage would we have?
Generous: Percentage of site?
Farmakes: Well, the sizing of the trees and so on. I'm just.
Generous: ...not showing the ones on the west elevation. I thought we had pretty good.
Farmakes: The three I think indicated on the plans? Towards the southwest.
Generous: Right. And what you don't see is the city also has their planting scheme.
Farmakes: I saw some of those, yeah.
Generous: They blend in.
Farmakes: There's a row of evergreens and so on. However the elevation is such that you're
sort of looking over that currently.
Generous: Well currently and as these mature, the southeast corner will eventually disappear
from view as you're driving down Highway 5.
Planning Commission Meeting - June 21, 1995
' Farmakes: So you feel that within say 5 years or something, we're going to get some real
coverage there?
' Generous: I believe so. Especially we're doing in depth planting in Outlot A as part of the
city's plan. I don't know if the applicant's would like it but we're going to screen the whole
site.
' Farmakes: I have no further questions at this time.

Mancino: Okay, thank you very much.
Guy Payne: Thank you.
Mancino: Can we have a motion to open the public hearing?
Meyer moved, Fwmakes seconded to open the public hearing. All voted in favor and the
motion caiiied. The public hewing was opened.
Mancino: This is a public hearing. Would anyone wish to address the Planning Commission
on this issue? Seeing none, may I have a motion to close the public hearing.
Meyer moved, Fwmakes seconded to close the public hewing. All voted in favor and the
motion cwiied. The public healing was closed.
Mancino: Commissioners. Jeff.
Farmakes: Well, I'll continue talking. I don't have any serious concerns about this building.
I'm not wild about this striped awning. I'd rather see them green. I can understand why they
want them yellow. It's a lot of yellow for me but fairly nice materials for a retail restaurant
and the signage is not osentacious elsewhere. I think it's a reasonable nice building. I don't
feel, the drama that you're seeing there, the skyline I think is a combination of some... I don't
feel it's going to have as much drama on the entrance as is showing there. My preference of
course would have been to have seen that maybe a little higher ... angle of the building.
Mancino: How do you feel about the neon?
Farmakes: Essentially there aren't going to be that many more restaurants going into the area.
I'm concerned I guess about the precedent that we're going to be looking at lit up buildings
that essentially become a sign and I've talked about that before. Where they've said it's not
how the building looks but whether or not people are going to see it from 10 miles away.
9
Planning Commission Meeting - June 21, 1995
We're really a low impact area. I mean as far as, you're driving fairly slow and you're in
town. You're not competing with a lot of buildings so the question is, these buildings need to
be seen well but they're not playing in the same field as they are at Southdale or Mall of
America and so on. You don't have those kind of sight lines. It's just using some common
sense in this area. I don't feel as a matter of practicality that if we allow that, that we're
going to see a lot more of if. There aren't that many lots left so my preference is, would not
to be seeing it. I don't feel though that it's probably justified in citing the real case that is
going to cause a lot of destruction at this point.
Mancino: Do you think other buildings will want it...?
Farmakes: I don't envision Target or Byerly's or anything like that, if that's what your
question is. My real concern with the building is that this is another building that's probably
in the most predominant area of town. It's open 24 hours a day. They're going to see it. It's
going to stay lit up and the neon actually, you know pin striping neon actually can be
attractive but the point is that once the cat's out of the bag, you never know what's going to
happen. But like I said, we've only got what, one other lot available in this property and
unless we invent more commercial property.
Mancino: We don't have any more lots.
Aanenson: This is the last one.
Mancino: This is Perkins, Taco Bell and Boston Market.
Farmakes: I thought there was one more.
Mancino: That's it.
Farmakes: Alright. Well all the more reason then. Unless things really change on the Ward
property, I don't see that happening. I thought perhaps when I was talking about the issue of
the covenants. We were talking, there's an overriding covenant I believe in the downtown
development that talks about how... significantly different and the comment about the brightly
colored bands is referring to the general bright striping. Orange ... book stop retail outlets that
you see. I don't feel probably that this falls in that place. So I'm not going to make a big
issue out of it.
Mancino: Okay. Craig.
10
Planning Commission Meeting - June 21, 1995
' Peterson: I guess I really concur with Jeffs comments regarding the neon and the yellow. I
think it's overkill in many ways. Again I don't feel strongly enough to advise... The only
thing that I would add that I would like to take the developer's word that the east area be
' landscaped more than it is now with just grass as it's shown. With shrubs, etc, etc. If you
can't put a sidewalk there, I think it'd be very conducive from a landscaped standpoint to put
some significant bushes and stuff in there so.
' Mancino: Mike. Any comments?
' Meyer: I think we've pretty well covered it. No additions.
Mancino: Good. I don't think I have any other new ones to add. My concern before was
' that I think the applicant addressed with the new plans was the side that faces Highway 5 and
also the sidewalk and I see that as a condition, number 13. So I'm just very comfortable with
it. Do I have a motion?
' Meyer: I'll make a motion.
' Mancino: Okay.
Meyer: I make a motion that the City Council approves Site Plan 994 -6 prepared by RLK
' Associates and John P. Shaw, dated May 8, 1995 subject to the following conditions, 1
through 13.
' Mancino: Do I have a second?
Peterson: Second.
Meyer moved, Peterson seconded that the Planning Commission recommends that the City
Council approve Site Plan 1194 -6 prepared by RLK Associates and John P. Shaw, dated May
8, 1995, and subject to the following conditions:

evening. I put in my 6 years. I just want to say that we've lived here 14 years and we're not
leaving the area. We're going to buy a house on Lake Riley so we're staying in Chanhassen.
That means I'm still eligible to be on the Planning Commission again. Other than that, I
think it's in line with it I think. I've always been concerned about the property, that whatever
we do with the property, in 14 years, we do it consistent with the future plan and so the ghost
plat really fits with what we've been thinking all along. I think it's logical...
