PROPOSAUSUMMARY
The request is for the subdivision of Outlot C into 2 lots and 1 outlot. Lot 1 is proposed to
have an area of 23, 915 square feet and will contain a future single family residence. Lot 2 is
proposed to have an area of 31,589 square feet and is proposed to house the city's well house.
Outlot A contains the majority of natural wetland, hence it is unbuildable. The outlot has an
area of 105,795 square feet. The property is zoned RSF, Residential Single Family.
The site is located north of Hwy. 5, east of Hwy. 41, and south of Lake Lucy Road. Access
to Lots 1 and 2 will be provided via driveways off of Lake Lucy Road.
Both proposed lots meet the minimum area, width, and depth requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance. Lot 1 will require a side yard setback variance along the northeast edge of the
property to maximize the buildable area on the site.
The site has a dense concentration of mature trees along the northerly edge of the wetland.
The majority of these trees were proposed to be removed as part of the Brenden Pond 1st
Addition due to the construction of Lake Lucy Road. The replacement canopy was accounted
for as part of the 1st addition. Hence, no additional replacement is required.
In summary, staff believes that the proposed subdivision is well designed. Minor revisions
will be required. We are recommending that it be approved with conditions outlined in the
staff report.
BACKGROUND
On November 14, 1994, the City Council approved the final reading for property zoned RR to
RSF for Brenden Pond subject to conditions. The Council also approved the final plat for
Subdivision #94 -10 for Brenden Pond for 19 single family lots and 4 outlots with a variance
to the street grade (10 %) on Pondview Court subject to conditions.
' The City needed a site for a well /pump house. As part of the negotiation to purchase the site,
the city agreed to process the platting of Outlot C.
PRELIMINARY PLATNARIANCE
' The city is proposing to subdivide Outlot C into 2 lots and 1 outlot. Lot 1 is proposed to
have an area of 23, 915 square feet and will contain a future single family residence. Lot 2 is
' proposed to have an area of 31,589 square feet and is proposed to house the city's well house.
Outlot A contains the majority of natural wetland, hence it is unbuildable. The outlot has an
area of 105,795 square feet. The property is zoned RSF, Residential Single Family.

The site is located north of Hwy. 5, east of Hwy. 41, and south of Lake Lucy Road. Access
to Lots 1 and 2 will be provided via driveways off of Lake Lucy Road.
Both proposed lots meet the minimum area, width, and depth requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance.
As a requirement of the Health Department, the well must be located in a position that would
require a 50 foot setback from any property line. In order to achieve this, buildable area was
taken from Lot 1, Block 1, which resulted in reducing the size of the building pad for the
proposed single family residence. The zoning ordinance requires a 10 foot side yard setback
on all single family homes. The separation between the proposed home and the well is 55
feet. Allowing the variance will not have a negative impact on adjoining properties. The
house will not encroach onto any easements. Staff is recommending approval of the variance
Staff notes that the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and generally
consistent with the Zoning Ordinance.
WETLANDS
According to the wetland delineation performed by Westwood for the Lake Lucy Road
extension project and the Brenden Pond development, there is one wetland associated with
this plat. The wetland is part of a large natural wetland located in the south and southeastern
corner of the property. It does not appear that the wetland will be impacted as a result of
construction of the house or the well house, however, it is very important that type III erosion
control be constructed around the wetland and well maintained during construction. There
will be some fairly steep side slopes (3:1) adjacent to the wetland. A potential erosion
problem exists; therefore, the side slope should be revegetated as soon as possible after site
grading with erosion control blanket.
The City also requires a buffer strip and buffer strip monumentation around the wetlands.
The buffer strip width required for natural wetlands is 10 to 30 feet with a minimum average
width of 20 feet and the buffer strip width required for an ag /urban wetland is 0 to 20 feet
with a minimum average width of 10 feet. The principal structure setback for these wetlands
is 40 feet measured from the outside edge of the buffer strip.
Surface Water Management Plan
The City has adopted a Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) that serves as a tool to
protect, preserve and enhance water resources. The plan identifies, from a regional
perspective, the storm water quantity and quality improvements necessary to allow future
development to take place and minimize its impact to downstream water bodies.

Storm Water Quality Fees
The SWMP has established a water quality connection charge for each new plat based on land
use. Dedication shall be equal to the cost of land and pond volume needed for treatment of
the 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 market values of land in the City of Chanhassen plus a
value of $2.50 per cubic yard for excavation of the pond. Since the water quality basin for
this site is already in place these fees will be charged according to the volume of ponding
needed for the site. The proposed SWMP quality charge for single - family residential
developments is $800 /acre. Therefore, the applicant is responsible for $440 for the 0.55 acre
house lot (lot 1). The City's well house (lot 2) does not require fees.
Storm Water Quantity Fees
The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an
average city -wide rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land
acquisition, proposed SWMP culverts, open channels and storm water ponding areas for
runoff storage. Single family residential developments will have a connection charge of
$1,980 per developable acre. The area of the plat required to pay this fee is 0.55 acres (lot 2
is waived from these fees). Since a very small corner of the lot is wetland, the proposed
development would then be responsible for 0.5 acres resulting in a water quantity connection
charge of $980.
I DRAINAGE
r
The lots on this plat drain to the south /southeast into the natural wetland. The driveways for
both lots will slope down toward the buildings. It is preferable that they slope away from the
buildings, however the natural grade of the land does not allow for this. Careful
consideration should be given to the street frontage grades to divert the water off the
driveways and around the building. Downspouts should be directed out to the side lots to
allow for natural water quality treatment through the yard and wetland buffer area. The
applicant will have to show that the garage will not be a collection point for stormwater
before final plat approval.
Lot 1 is proposed as a walkout house requiring 10 feet of additional fill. The walkout
elevation is 998 and the existing elevation is approximately 988. Staff thinks this is excessive
and that the lot is better suited for a rambler. There is also excessive grading on the south
end of the lots. Very little grading should have to be done between the building pads and the
Brenden Pond 2nd Addition
June 21, 1995
Page 5
wetland. The slopes level off quite a bit on the south side of the proposed building pads and
should not be steeper than existing conditions.
EROSION CONTROL
The applicant will need to develop a sediment and erosion control plan in accordance with the
City's Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Type III erosion control fencing will
be required around the natural wetland. The plan shall be submitted to the City for review
and formal approval in conjunction with final plat approval.
UTILITIES
With the construction of Lake Lucy Road, sanitary sewer and water lines will be extended to
serve the house lot and well site. The existing construction plans for Brenden Pond or Lake
Lucy Road did not include sanitary and water main connections to lot 1. Sanitary and water
main connections will be added as a change order during the construction of Lake Lucy Road
The plat shows the Lake Ann Sanitary Sewer interceptor and existing 20 -foot wide easement.
The interceptor runs through lot 1 at a depth of approximately 30 feet. This easement should
be expanded to a 30 -foot wide easement on centerline of pipe.
STREETS
Access to both lots will be from Lake Lucy Road. The road is currently under construction
under the City's Improvement Project No. 92 -12. Lake Lucy Road is considered a collector
street based on the City's Comprehensive Guide Use Plan. It is also part of the City's
Municipal State -Aid Route. According to the City's subdivision ordinance, direct driveway
access onto a collector street should be restricted or controlled whenever feasible. Due to
topographic constraints, staff believe there is no other feasible access points available to Lots
1 and 2. Staff is comfortable with Lots 1 and 2 having driveway access onto Lake Lucy
Road.
PARK AND TRAIL FEES
The Park and Recreation Director recommended full park and trail fees be collected per city
ordinance in lieu of land acquisition and /or trail construction.

* The 50 foot setback includes a 10 foot wetland buffer in addition to a 40 foot structure
setback.
** The side yard setback variance along the east side of Lot 1 is a result of a technicality
from the Health department requiring wells to be located 50 feet from any property
line.
TREE PRESERVATION/LANDSCAPING
The tree preservation and landscaping of this site was addressed in the Brenden Pond 1st
Addition. The plan has not changed and no additional canopy replacement is required.
VARIANCE
As part of this plat approval, a variance to allow a 5 foot side yard setback along the easterly
edge of Lot 1, Block 1 is requested. The City Council may grant a variance from the
regulations contained in the subdivision chapter as part of a plat approval process following a
finding that all of the following conditions exist:
1. The hardship is not a mere inconvenience.
2. The hardship is caused by the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical
conditions of the land.
Brenden Pond 2nd Addition
June 21, 1995
Page 7
3. The condition of conditions upon which the request is based are unique and not
generally applicable to other property.
4. The granting of a variance will not be substantially detrimental to the public welfare
and is in accord with the purpose and intent of this chapter, the zoning ordinance and
comprehensive plan.
Finding: Staff recommends the variances be approved for reasons described in the staff
report. The variance is a result of the Health Department requirements, not a
mere inconvenience or a self created hardship.
PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE
On June 21, 1995, the Planning Commission reviewed this application and unanimously
approved it. The one change to the conditions of approval that was made was in relation to
the landscaping buffer separating the proposed house on Lot 1 and Lake Lucy Road. The
Planning Commission directed staff to review the existing landscaping plan for Brenden Pond
to insure that there is adequate screening for the proposed house. The approved landscaping
plan for Brenden Pond will provide the required screening which will consist of six Spruce
trees, one Maple, two Birch trees, three Flowering Plums, and five Red Twig Dogwood.
Therefore, condition number 2 need not change.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommended the City Council adopt the following motion:
"The City Council approves the preliminary and final plat for Subdivision #94 -10 for Brenden
Pond 2nd Addition for 2 lots and 1 outlot with a variance to the side yard setback along the
easterly lot line of Lot 1, Block 1, as shown on the plans received June 13, 1995, subject to
the following conditions:
1. All areas disturbed during site grading shall be immediately restored with seed and
disc - mulched or wood fiber blanket within two weeks of completing site grading unless
the city's (BMPH) planting dates dictate otherwise. All areas disturbed with side slopes
of 3:1 or greater shall be restored with sod or seed and wood fiber blanket.
2. The plat approval is still subject to the approved landscaping plan for Brenden Pond 1st
Addition.
3. Building Department condition - The footings of structures proposed on Lots 1 and 2
shall be engineered.

15
Planning Commission Meeting - June 21, 1995
Aanenson: Correct.
Mancino: Later in the report on page 4, under grading it says that Lot 2 is proposed as a
walkout house. So is Lot 2 the well house or.
Aanenson: No. You were right the first time. Lot 1 is the building lot. Lot 2, next to the
wetland is the well house. If you look on the plat, which is on the overhead.
Mancino: This is where the house is going to be?
Aanenson: Correct. The one, if you look on the plat, it shows the 20 foot interceptor
easement on it. That's the lot with the house on it.
Mancino: Okay, the western most one.
Aanenson: Correct.
Mancino: Thank you.
Aanenson: Sorry about that ambiguity.
Mancino: I wanted to make sure. And is Lot 1 the house that's going to need 10 feet of fill?
Or is Lot 2 for the well house the one that's going to be graded so excessively?
Hempel: Lot 1 will require the additional fill material for the house pad.
Mancino: Unless we recommend that it be a rambler.
Hempel: Restrict the dwelling type to a rambler or rambler lookout versus..
Mancino: Or lookout, okay. If, excuse me Dave. If we do, as a condition, instead of putting
so much fill in over the wetland, etc, suggest or make a recommendation that it be a lookout
or a rambler, how much less fill will there be? How much will we be messing with the
topography?
Hempel: Approximately about 4 feet of fill less. So you still would require up to 6 feet of
fill.
Mancino: 6 feet of fill, okay.
16
Planning Commission Meeting - June 21, 1995
' Hempel: It will also require filling for the well site. As you continue to the east there, the
slopes are even steeper so there will be some filling involved with the well site as well.
' Mancino: But the well site isn't a walkout or.
Hempel: No, right.
' Mancino: I mean we won't get into as much. So we would be at 6 feet of fill instead of 10,
okay. Thank you. Any other questions? This is a public hearing. We don't have another
' applicant do we? It's the City of Chanhassen.
Aanenson: Yes. We're working with Gestach and Paulson on this. But because the city is
' initiating it for the well site, we're really the applicant because we're the one that's requesting
the plat go in at this time so we're taking the lead position on this. But it's the Gestach-
Paulson property.
' Mancino: Okay. And they're not here to make a presentation?

Aanenson: No.
Mancino: Thank you. May I have a motion to open this for a public hearing please?
Meyer moved, Peterson seconded to open the public hewing. All voted in favor and the
motion carried. The public hewing was opened.
Mancino: This is open for a public hearing. Anyone that would like to come up and talk on
this issue may. Seeing none, may I have a motion to close the public hearing.
Famakes moved, Meyer seconded to close the public herring. All voted in favor and the
motion carried. The public herring was closed.
Mancino: Commissioners. Jeff.
Farmakes: I have no comments on this. I will vote for it.
Mancino: Okay. Craig.
Peterson: No comments.
Mancino: Mike.
17
Planning Commission Meeting - June 21, 1995
Meyer: Dave, do you see any problems with the 10 foot of fill that ... It seems like sometimes
logical from an engineering standpoint, should it be something we're concerned about?
Hempel: It's always desirable from a builders standpoint to have a walkout type homesite
It's the most desirable. It appears the filling in there meets the wetland setbacks. It's not
imposing in the setback and so forth. I guess we could go either way.
Meyer: Okay.
Mancino: Kate, I have just one comment and that would be. It's peculiar to me that on this
particular, the whole Brenden Pond, how many lots do we have on the collector? We have
quite a few lots.
Aanenson: Actually on the north side, I think we have, I think there's just 2 or 3 on the other
side.
Mancino: Okay. So we're going to have 5, a total of 5 driveways on Lake Lucy Road.
Aanenson: Right, right. Except the well.
Hempel: If I could clarify. The lots to the north side do have shared driveway access points
so we have eliminated one or two on the north side. And the south side will have two
though.
Aanenson: And the well, I'm not sure much activity will be at the well.
Mancino: Will go on, okay. My other question is, I've never seen this done but just asking
As the property to the south of this land develops, is there potential for this particular Lot 1
to get access if it develops to the south? I mean that's hard to put in as a condition but it
makes a lot of sense for one house here.
Aanenson: It could except that just off the top of my head looking at this, to get another road
there, to get another lot, you'd almost have a lot that would be double fronted. Unless you
did a cul -de -sac but that wetland is kind of big right there. Unless you came in from the
other direction, I think it would be, it's a tough call. I think you'd almost make it a double
fronted lot in order to do that, even if you brought a cul -de -sac in. It could possibly but we
usually try to look at that but that piece is so big, the property to the south, I think they have
a lot more options. I think that'd be a really good point if this was a narrow piece and didn't
have as much design flexibility but I think that piece is large enough that we've got quite a
few options.

t Mancino: Okay. And is there some way to word it so that you can just look at that and
obviously.
Aanenson: You mean a private drive or something?
Mancino: Yes. Or something. To see when the southern property does develop, if there's
some way that the access could be off that. If it can't, it can't.
Hempel: I think the topography to the west and south of the proposed house pad is severe
enough that you need additional filling to put that driveway in to the street so.
Mancino: Well I just, yeah just look at that. I'd appreciate that. Those are my comments.
Do I have a motion?
Farmakes: I'll make a motion that the Planning Commission approve preliminary plat for
Subdivision 994 -10 dated June 21, 1995 for Brenden Pond 2nd Addition for 2 lots and one
outlot with a variance for a side yard setback along the easterly lot line of Lot 1, Block 1 as
shown on the plans received June 13, 1995, subject to the following conditions 1 thru 14.
Mancino: May I have a friendly amendment?
Farmakes: You sure can.
Mancino: And that is that, and I'm sorry I didn't bring it up before. That number 2. That
the plat approval still subject to the approved landscaping plan for Brenden Pond 1st
Addition. I would just like to make sure that that landscaping is revised so that there is
landscaping on the collector. Buffering that single family home which we did not think
would be there.
Farmakes: Do you have a particular way you'd like to word that?
Mancino: That staff and, the staff as being the applicant, review the existing landscaping
plan on the collector and add buffering landscaping as they see fit.
Farmakes: That'd be fine.
Mancino: And is compatible with the existing plan. Can I have a second?
Meyer: Second.
