There is potential future expansion area of an ' additional 35,000 square feet on the east and west sides of the proposed structure. The applicant is proposing the use of rock face block. The PUD requires that all walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping. Four horizontal bands varying in width accentuate the building. The overall design is of a high quality providing variation and detail on the facade of the building. The preliminary plat for Chanhassen Business Center was approved on January 13, 1992. As part of this application, one of the outlots will be replatted into 4 lots. The subject building is proposed to be constructed on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition. This subdivision is consistent with the preliminary plat and staff is recommending approval of it. Approval of this site plan is contingent upon final plat approval of the Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition by the City Council. Staff believes that the proposed development meets the standards established as part of the PUD and is recommending approval of the site plan subject to the conditions contained in this report. BACKGROUND On January 13, 1992, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for the Chanhassen ' Business Center as shown on the attached site plan. The PUD was amended on February 8, 1993 to allow for a church as a permitted use and the final plat for phase I of the project was approved. On April 24, 1995, the Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition, subdividing Outlot C into 7 ' lots, was approved by the City. On September 25, 1995, the City Council will review the replat of Outlot A into Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition. The subject building is proposed to be constructed on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition. The Chanhassen Business Center is an industrial /office park on 93.7 acres. The original plat consisted of 12 lots and 2 outlots. The ultimate development for this proposal was to have a total ' of 700,000 square feet of building area with a mix of 20% office, 25% industrial and 55% warehouse. u F Control Products September 6, 1995 Page 3 GENERAL SITE PLAN /ARCHITECTURE OVFRVTF.W The proposed building is situated parallel to Lake Drive West. Access is gained off of Lake Drive West. Parking is located to the south of the proposed building. Direct views of the docks, which are located to the northwest of the building, will be screened by the building and evergreens. Additional landscaping will be required to screen the docks from views of the residential area located north of the subject site. The building height is 16.6 feet, located 600 feet from the north, 179 feet from the east, 120' from the south, and 230' from the west property line. Materials used on the structure will be rock face block accented by four horizontal bands varying in width. The entrance into the building has a pitched canopy. The applicant has not shown the trash enclosure location. The materials used to screen the trash enclosure shall be the same type of block used on the building. The overall design is of a high quality providing variation and detail on the facade of the building. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The development standards will remain the same as previously approved with the PUD. a. Intent The purpose of this zone is to create a PUD light industrial /office park. The use of the PUD zone is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive proposal. All utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for development shall proceed through site plan review based on the development standards outlined below. b. Permitted Uses The permitted uses in this zone should be limited to light industrial, warehousing, and office as defined below. The uses shall be limited to those as defined herein. If there is a question as to whether or not a use meets the definition, the City Council shall make that interpretation. Light Industrial The manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling, packaging, or testing of goods or equipment or research activities entirely within an enclosed Control Products September 6, 1995 Page 4 structure, with no outside storage. There shall be negligible impact upon the surrounding environment by noise, vibration, smoke, dust or pollutants. 2. Warehousing Means the commercial storage of merchandise and personal property. 3. Office Professional and business office, non - retail activity. FINDING: The proposed uses of light industrial and office are consistent with the parameters established as part of the PUD. c. Setbacks In the PUD standards, there is the requirement for landscape buffering in addition to building and parking setbacks. The landscape buffer on Audubon Road is 50 feet, south of Lake Drive and 100 feet along the southern property line. The PUD zone requires a building to be setback 50 feet from the required landscape buffer and public right -of -ways. There is no minimum requirement for setbacks on interior lot lines. The following setbacks shall apply from the right -of -way: Buildinv, Parking Required (interior road system) 25' 15' Provided Commerce Drive 110 20' FINDING: The proposed development meets or exceeds the minimum setbacks established as part of the PUD.

Staff has estimated the required parking at 84 spaces. The applicant has provided 148 spaces. Building Square Footage Breakdown for entire development Office 20% 120,700 sq. ft. Manufacturing 25% 150,875 sq. ft. Warehouse 54.09% 326,425 sq. ft. Church 0.91% 5,500 sq. ft. Total 100% 603,500 sq. ft. FINDING: The proposed development meets the development standards established as part of the PUD. The city has previously approved the following square footage within the Chanhassen Business Center: church - 5,500 square feet; office - 34,021.5 square feet (National Weather ' Service, Power Systems, Paulstarr Enterprises and Highland); and warehouse - 45,692.5 square feet (Power Systems, Paulstarr Enterprises and Highland). e. Building Materials and Design 1. 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. 2. All materials shall be of high quality and durable. Masonry material shall be used. Color shall be introduced through colored block or panels and not painted block. 3. Brick may be used and must be approved to assure uniformity. 4. Block shall have a weathered face or be polished, fluted, or broken face. 5. Concrete may be poured in place, tilt -up or pre -cast, and shall be finished in stone, textured or coated. 6. Metal siding will not be approved except as support material to one of the above materials or curtain wall on office components or, as trim or as HVAC screen. Control Products September 6, 1995 Page 7 7. All accessory structures shall be designed to be compatible with the primary structure. 8. All roof mounted equipment shall be screened by walls of compatible appearing material. Wood screen fences are prohibited. All exterior process machinery, tanks, etc., are to be fully screened by compatible materials. 9. The use of large unadorned, prestressed concrete panels and concrete block shall be prohibited. Acceptable materials will incorporate textured surfaces, exposed aggregate and/or other patterning. All walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping. 10. Space for recycling shall be provided in the interior of all principal structures for all developments in the Business Center. FINDING: The applicant is proposing the use of rock face block. The PUD requires that all walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping: The plans include four horizontal accent bands (Elast Omaric Coating System) surrounding the building. The building design is of a high quality and meets the intent of the PUD design requirements. L Site Landscaping and Screening All buffer landscaping, including boulevard landscaping, included in Phase I area to be installed when the grading of the phase is completed. This may well result in landscaping being required ahead of individual site plan approvals but we believe the buffer yard and plantings, in particular, need to be established immediately. In addition, to adhere to the higher quality of development as spelled out in the PUD zone, all loading areas shall be screened. Each lot for development shall submit a separate landscaping plan as a part of the site plan review process. 2. All open spaces and non - parking lot surfaces shall be landscaped, rockscaped, or covered with plantings and /or lawn material. 3. Storage of material outdoors is prohibited unless it has been approved under site plan review. All approved outdoor storage must be screened with masonry fences and /or landscaping. 3. The master landscape plan for the CBC PUD shall be the design guide for all of the specific site landscape developments. Each lot must present a landscape plan for approval with the site plan review process. Control Products September 6, 1995 Page 8 ' 4. Undulating or angular berms 3' to 4' in height, south of Lake Drive along Audubon Road shall be sodded or seeded at the conclusion of Phase I grading and utility construction. The required buffer landscaping may be installed in phases, but it shall be required where ' it is deemed necessary to screen any proposed development. All required boulevard landscaping shall be sodded. ' 5. Loading areas shall be screened from public right -of -ways. Wing walls may be required where deemed appropriate. FINDING: The landscaping ordinance requires 27 boulevard trees (9 provided) and 31 vehicular use area (18 provided). The ordinance also requires all docking areas be screened from views. The development north of the railroad tracks (Creekside Addition) will have unobstructed views of the rear of the subject building. Trees must be provided around the pond. The landscape plan must be revised to provide required changes. g. Signage 1. All freestanding signs be limited to monument signs. The sign shall not exceed eighty (80) square feet in sign display area nor be greater than eight (8) feet in height. The sign treatment is an element of the architecture and thus should reflect with the quality of the development. The signs should be consistent in color, size, and material throughout the development. The applicant should submit a sign package for staff review. 2. Each property shall be allowed one monument sign located near the driveway into the private site. All signs require a separate permit. 3. The signage will have consistency throughout the development. A common theme will be introduced at the development's entrance monument and will be used throughout. 4. Consistency in signage shall relate to color, size, materials, and heights. FINDING: The applicant has not provided details regarding signage for the site. All signs must receive a permit prior to installation. ' h. Lighting 1. Lighting for the interior of the business center should be consistent throughout the ' development. Control Products September 6, 1995 Page 9 2. A decorative, shoe box fixture (high pressure sodium vapor lamps) with a square ornamental pole shall be used throughout the development area for area lighting. Lighting equipment similar to what is mounted in the public street right -of -ways shall be used in the private areas. 4. All light fixtures shall be shielded. Light level for site lighting shall be no more than 1/2 foot candle at the property line. This does not apply to street lighting. FINDING: The applicant has not provided lighting details or calculations for this development. However, city ordinance and the PUD standards provide sufficient control to assure compliance to an established standard. GRADING & DRAINAGE The site has been rough graded in conjunction with public improvements installed by the developer as part of Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition. Only minor site grading is anticipated for the parking lots. The drainage plan is in general accordance with the overall master stormwater drainage plan approved with the Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition. However, the internal storm sewer system will need to be further reviewed after receipt of storm sewer calculations to see if sufficient catch basins are being provided. Staff recommends that the applicant's engineer supply the City with detailed storm drainage calculations for a 10 -year storm event to verify pipe capacities and catch basin locations on the site. Staff is also concerned with the two proposed storm sewer discharge points from the parking lot area. Staff believes that these two discharge points can be combined into one storm sewer system and connected with the existing storm sewer along the west property line of the development. These items will be further reviewed after staff receives detailed stormwater drainage calculations. It is unclear with the site drawings, but staff is assuming that the roof drainage from building will be tied into the site storm sewer system. Rock construction entrances will be required at all access points during construction. Additional erosion control fence (Type I) needs to be installed along the property line adjacent to Lake Drive West. The catch basins should be protected with hay bales or silt fence until the parking lot has been paved. The landscaping plan proposes to reseed a large area of the site. Staff believes some of the seeded areas should be sodded. These areas are as follows: Sod a minimum of a 10 -foot wide strip around the parking lots as well as the east side of the building. Control Products ' September 6, 1995 Page 10 - Sod the easterly hillside in a line from the face of the building to the east property line out ' towards Lake Drive West. The remaining hillside may be reseeded. Erosion control blanket may be needed in this area to minimize erosion on the site. ' - Sod the City's boulevard along Lake Drive West. The landscaping plan also proposes numerous landscape plantings along the westerly property line. A very large storm sewer line is or will be installed along the west property line. Landscaping in this area (drainage and utility easement) should be minimal to maintain access to the storm sewer. The applicant should be required to enter into an encroachment agreement with the City which spells out the City's maintenance responsibility and restoration policy with regards to storm sewer maintenance. ACCESS The final plat of Chanhassen Business Center has dedicated sufficient road right -of -way for the extension of Lake Drive West. Currently, the street deadends at the easterly property line of this site. In conjunction with the site improvements for Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition, Lake Drive West will be extended as shown on the site plan as well as the storm sewer improvements. The site is being developed in accordance with the overall plat improvements. Access to the site is proposed from Lake Drive West. Staff is concerned with the size of the complex being limited to one access /curb cut on to Lake Drive West. Staff strongly recommends at least one additional curb cut somewhere in the middle of the site. The site plan should also include driveway aprons, to be constructed in accordance with the City's industrial driveway detail plate no. 5207. Where truck traffic is anticipated, the pavement sections (loading dock area) should be increased. The pavement design is usually based on a soils engineer's recommendation. In conjunction with the Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition improvements, a 6 -foot wide concrete sidewalk will be extended along the north side of Lake Drive West. This sidewalk will connect into a trail system which will lead westerly towards the Bluff Creek corridor. The site plan does not promote pedestrian -type access from the site to the sidewalk. A simple sidewalk connection may be a benefit to the applicant to consider. UTILITIES In conjunction with the platting of Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition, utility and street improvements will be extended along Lake Drive West to service this site. Currently, sanitary sewer and water lines have been installed from the Chanhassen Business Center, Phase I, which are able to service the site immediately. Control Products September 6, 1995 Page 11 MISCELLANEOUS The applicant should be aware that no construction activities may commence on the site until the final plat and development contract has been approved and recorded. Interim access to the site may be obtained from existing Lake Drive West. The interim driveway must meet the City fire marshal's recommendation for ingress and egress at all times. According to the plat of Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition, a drainage and utility easement intersects the middle of this parcel. This drainage and utility easement will need to be vacated in order for this site to be built upon. The applicant should petition the City to proceed with this vacation. LANDSCAPING The landscaping ordinance requires 27 boulevard trees (9 provided) and 31 vehicular use area (18 provided). The ordinance also requires all docking areas be screened from views. The development north of the railroad tracks (Creekside Addition) will have unobstructed views of the rear of the subject building. Trees must be provided around the pond. The landscape plan must be revised to provide required changes. A landscape screen consisting of a mix of evergreens and deciduous trees shall be incorporated. LIGHTING /SIGNAGE The applicant has not provided lighting details or calculations for this development. However, city ordinance and the PUD standards provide sufficient control to assure compliance to an established standard. The - applicant -has- -not- provlded-sig d e4ails -for the project.. - The applicant has submitted a plan for a monument sign. The sign area is approximately 41 square feet and 6 feet high. The Sign Covenants for Chanhassen Business Center permits up to 80 square feet in area and 8 feet in height. SITE PLAN FINDIN In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: (1) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides, including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may be adopted; (2) Consistency with this division; ' Control Products September 6, 1995 ' Page 12 (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 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 and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. Finding: The proposed development is consistent with the comprehensive plan, the ' zoning ordinance, the design guidelines established as part of the Chanhassen Business Center PUD with the modifications outlined in the staff report, and the site plan review requirements. The site has few existing natural amenities due to previous development in the area. The site design is compatible and harmonious with the approved industrial developments throughout the city. Control Products September 6, 1995 Page 13 FINAL PLAT FOR CHANHASSEN BUSINESS CENTER THIRD ADDITION The preliminary plat for Chanhassen Business Center was approved on January 13, 1992. As part of this application, Outlot A will be replatted into 4 lots. The subject building is proposed to be constructed on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition. This subdivision is consistent with the preliminary plat and staff is recommending approval with conditions. Approval of the site plan is contingent upon final plat approval of the Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition by the City Council. Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition Compliance Table: Lot # Lot Size - Acres 1 12.1 2 6.14 3 5.47 4 5.39 Road 2.82 Subtotal 31.90 GRADING & DRAINAGE Final grading, drainage and erosion control plans have been submitted to the City for review. Staff has reviewed the grading plans and finds them compatible in conjunction with the overall development. The overall site has been graded with the previous phases. No additional grading will be required with this phase. The storm drainage system has been designed to accommodate the entire site including this phase. A permanent ponding facility has been constructed on Lots 1 and 2. A new storm sewer system will be constructed to serve Lots 1 through 4, Block 1 and existing Lake Drive West. The storm sewers will convey runoff from the development to the pond on Lots 1 and 2. The stormwater pond on Lots I and 2 has been designed in general accordance with the City's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) for both water quality and water quantity functions. Therefore, the surface water quality connection fees have been waived. Staff has reviewed the stormwater ponding calculations and finds them in general accordance with the City's SWMP requirements. Staff has applied credits to the applicant's surface water quantity connection fees based on the construction plans. The applicant will be responsible for a water quantity connection fee of $65,604 based on 24.1 acres of developable property. Upon review of the existing grading plan, the screening was omitted. Staff is Control Products September 6, 1995 Page 14 recommending that a 6 -8' high berm be constructed along hte south side of Lots 3 and 4 to provide screening between Bluff Creek Estates and Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition. UTILITIES Municipal utilities are available to the site. The applicant's engineer has supplied detailed construction plans and specifications to the City for review and approval. Staff has reviewed the construction plans and specifications and finds them in general accordance with City standards. In conjunction with final plat approval, the final construction plans and specifications are also being considered for approval. Staff is recommending approval of the construction plans and specifications. Staff has also drafted a PUD Agreement /Development Contract which incorporates the conditions from final plat approval and lists the necessary security to guarantee installation of the public improvements. The applicant will be required to enter into this PUD Agreement /Development Contract with the city and provide the financial security prior to the city signing the final plat documents. STREETS The applicant has submitted detailed street construction plans and specifications for the extension of Lake Drive West. The applicant is proposing to complete the extension of Lake Drive West at this time. Currently, Lake Drive West dead -ends in a temporary cul -de -sac at the east end of the plat. Staff has reviewed the final construction plans and finds them in general accordance with the City's standards. Street lights are also being proposed along Lake Drive West in accordance with preliminary plat approval. As conditioned in Phase I and II approval, the applicant is being required to provide the City with security to guarantee the development's prorated cost share for the installation of future traffic signals in the intersection of Trunk Highway 5 and Audubon Road. Staff has estimated the developer's share for the local cost participation of the signal for both Phase I and this 2nd Addition at $5,000. With platting of the 3rd and final phase of the development, staff has estimated the applicant's prorated share of the traffic signals at $2,500. The applicant's final share will be determined once the lots are developed. Staff will determine the number of trips being generated from the overall development compared to the number of trips on northbound Audubon Road. ' In conjunction with Phase II of Chanhassen Business Center a drainage and utility easement was dedicated through proposed Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center Third Addition for a storm sewer line which has been removed and relocated. Therefore, the drainage and utility easement may be vacated. The applicant will have to petition the City to vacate the easement. Control Products September 6, 1995 Page 15 PLANNING COMMISSION UDATE On September 6, 1995, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved this proposal with conditions outlined in the staff report.

BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937 -1900 • FAX (612) 937 -5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Sharmin Al -Jaff, Planner II % r- FROM: Dave Hempel, Assistant City Engineer DATE: August 30, 1995 SUBJ: Site Plan Review for Eden Trace - Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition - Land Use Review File No. 95- Upon review of the site plan documents prepared by RSP Architects Ltd., dated August 18, 1995, 1 offer the following comments and recommendations: GRADING & DRAINAGE The site has been rough graded in conjunction with public improvements installed by the developer as part of Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition. Only minor site grading is anticipated for the parking lots. The drainage plan is in general accordance with the overall master stormwater drainage plan approved with the Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition. However, the internal storm sewer system will need to be further reviewed after receipt of storm sewer calculations to see if sufficient catch basins are being provided. Staff recommends that the applicant's engineer supply the City with detailed storm drainage calculations for a 10 -year storm event to verify pipe capacities and catch basin locations on the site. Staff is also concerned with the two proposed storm sewer discharge points from the parking lot area. Staff believes that these two discharge points can be combined into one storm sewer system and connected with the existing storm sewer along the west property line of the development. These items will be further reviewed after staff receives detailed stormwater drainage calculations. It is unclear with the site drawings, but staff is assuming that the roof drainage from building will be tied into the site storm sewer system. Rock construction entrances will be required at all access points during construction. Additional erosion control fence (Type I) needs to be installed along the property line adjacent to Lake Drive West. The catch basins should be protected with hay bales or silt fence until the parking lot has been paved. Sharmin Al -Jaff August 30, 1995 Page 2 The landscaping plan proposes to reseed a large area of the site. Staff believes some of the seeded areas should be sodded. These areas are as follows: - Sod a minimum of a 10 -foot wide strip around the parking lots as well as the east side of the building.. Sod the easterly hillside in a line from the face of the building to the east property line out towards Lake Drive West. The remaining hillside may be reseeded. Erosion control blanket may be needed in this area to minimize erosion on the site. Sod the City's boulevard along Lake Drive West. The landscaping plan also proposes numerous landscape plantings along the westerly property line. A very large storm sewer line is or will be installed along the west property line. Landscaping in this area (drainage and utility easement) should be minimal. to maintain access to the storm sewer. The applicant should be required to enter into an encroachment agreement with the City which spells out the City's maintenance responsibility and restoration policy with regards to storm sewer maintenance. ACCESS The final plat of Chanhassen Business Center has dedicated sufficient road right -of -way for the extension of Lake Drive West. Currently, the street deadends at the easterly property line of this site. In conjunction with the site improvements for Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition, Lake Drive West will be extended as shown on the site plan as well as the storm sewer improvements. The site is being developed in accordance with the overall plat improvements. Access to the site is proposed from Lake Drive West. Staff is concerned with the size of the complex being limited to one access /curb cut on to Lake Drive West. Staff strongly recommends at least one additional curb cut somewhere in the middle of the site. The site plan also should include driveway aprons be constructed in accordance with the City's industrial driveway detail plate no. 5207. Where truck traffic is anticipated the pavement sections (loading dock area) should be increased. The pavement design is usually based on a soils engineer's recommendation. In conjunction with the Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition improvements, a 6 -foot wide concrete sidewalk will be extended along the north side of Lake Drive West. This sidewalk will connect into a trail system which will lead westerly towards the Bluff Creek corridor. The site plan does not promote pedestrian -type access from the site to the sidewalk. A simple sidewalk connection may be a benefit to the applicant to consider. Sharmin Al -Jaff August 30, 1995 Page 3 UTILITIES In conjunction with the platting of Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition, utility and street improvements will be extended along Lake Drive West to service this site. Currently, sanitary sewer and water lines have been installed from the Chanhassen Business Center, Phase I, which are able to service the site immediately. MISCELLANEOUS The applicant should be aware that no construction activities may commence on the site until the final plat and development contract has been approved and recorded. Interim access to the site may be obtained from existing Lake Drive West. The interim driveway must meet the City's fire marshal's recommendation for ingress and egress at all times. According to the plat of Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition, a drainage and utility easement intersects the middle of this parcel. This drainage and utility easement will need to be vacated in order for this site to be built upon. The applicant should petition the City to proceed with this vacation. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL The pavement sections in the parking and loading dock area should be designed and constructed in accordance with recommendations from a professional soils engineer. I' 2. The applicant shall add at least one curb cut midway through the parcel to improve traffic circulation. All driveway access points shall incorporate the City's industrial driveway detail (standard plate no. 5207). 3. No building permits shall be issued or site grading commence until after the development contract and final plat of Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition has been approved and recorded. 4. Temporary access to the site prior to the street being constructed (Lake Drive West) may be permitted as long as the City's fire marshal's concerns and conditions are fully met. 5. The applicant's engineer shall submit detailed storm drainage calculations for a 10 -year storm event to the City for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. The storm sewer discharge points shall be revised and redesigned to convey runoff westerly to the existing storm sewer system along the west property line. No additional discharge points will be permitted into the storm ponding area. Sharmin AI -Jaff August 30, 1995 Page 4 6. Erosion control measures such as rock construction entrances and protection around all catch basins shall be employed in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook until the parking lots are paved. 7. The applicant should also consider a sidewalk access and street lighting in the parking areas. 8. Sod shall be placed in the following areas instead of seed: The area labeled "Seed Area" just west of the building shall be sodded between the two parking lots. The future parking lot area in the northwest corner of the site may be seeded with the exception of a 10 -foot wide area immediately adjacent to the curb of the proposed parking area. - A 10 -foot wide strip of sod shall be placed along the easterly side of the building. - The area labeled "seed area" on the easterly side of the property shall be sodded from the face of the building to the east property line out towards Lake Drive West. The City's boulevard along Lake Drive West shall be sodded. 9. Landscaping along the west property line within the City's drainage and utility easement shall be minimal. The applicant shall enter into an encroachment agreement with the City for placement of landscaping plantings within the City's easement. 10.

Does the applicant or their designee wish to present for the commission? 1 17 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Applicant: ...just want to point out is ... away from the typical rectangle and squares around here to get this thing, to break it up and give it a little more character... Everything we worked at and gone through... Nutting: Good. Conrad: What does your company do? Applicant: This is it. Commercial development... Skubic: Are you the tenant? Applicant: No. Skubic: What does your company do? Conrad: What does your company do? Control Products Representative: Our company, we design and manufacture electronic controls. Electronic temperature indicators. We ship internationally. We ... Burger King, McDonalds, if you look at their... fryers, the freezers, refrigerators, chances are our company has manufactured that temperature indicator. Either the indicator or the control. It's a very high tech business. We have a lot of designers. It's a very clean business. We use a lot of robots or robotics equipment or what's referred to as circuit... technology. I'll say it's the latest and greatest technology to use for electronic assembly. So that's kind of what we do. It's a very clean, high tech business. Conrad: Where are you located today? Control Products Representative: Right now we're located on Cahill in Edina, Minnesota. Right by Bush Lake and 494. Conrad: What directed you out here? Control Products Representative: Well, a long process. You know most of our employees live in Hopkins, South Minneapolis area. Some of them live out here in Chaska, Chanhassen We certainly do not want to get too far away from Edina because of the fear of losing some key employees. And myself and my brother and his partner, we're the two principal owners of the business. The three of us live somewhere around here so it looks just like a fantastic community. We're real excited about the business center. It's a good business park and we V. Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 do a lot of business locally with a lot of the contracts, companies here in town so we need to be visible. We need to the building itself needs to be a good looking, I'll say a high tech looking building and we have customers visiting from out of the country. We have visitors from out of state. We want to be close to the International Airport. This should just be a good location. We've been located for the last several years in Edina. Most of our locations have been in Edina. Once we were in downtown Minneapolis. But for the most part we've always been in the southwest suburbs. Nutting: Thank you. This is a public hearing. May I have a motion to open the public hearing? Meyer moved, Conrad seconded to open the public hewing. The public hewing was opened. Nutting: Does anybody wish to address the commission? Seeing none, may I have a motion to close the public hearing. Conrad moved, Meyer seconded to close the public hewing. The public hewing was closed. Nutting: Discussion from commissioners. Mike. Meyer: I don't have any additional comments. It looks like what staff has put forward is... Nutting: Ladd. Conrad: Yeah, I have no comments. Looks fine to me. ' Nutting: Bob. Skubic: No comments. ' Nutting: Jeff. Farmakes: It's nice to see a warehouse building coming in with detailings and shape to it other than just a flat box. These are really things that don't add tremendous to the cost of the building but what will do percentage wise, but do really kind of reflect I think. I don't think warehouses are any different than any other place. You get nice buildings around which perpetuates more nice buildings. And I'm glad to see that. Actually tonight I'm glad to see that some of the things that we've been working on, some of the things are going pretty smoothly when we have applicants who are applying under those conditions. And when they apply in good spirit, it seems to work out well.

' PUBLIC HEARING: AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CODE REGARDING LIMITED PAWNBROKERS AS A PERMITTED USE IN THE BF BUSINESS FRINGE BG GENERAL BUSINESS AND ' THE BH HIGHWAY BUSINESS DISTRICTS. Kate Aanenson presented the staff report on this item. ' Nutting: Any questions for staff? ' Conrad: And the reason you recommended those districts was because it had highway exposure. Well, what is your rationale Kate? ' Aanenson: Well actually they all do. If you look at the industrial office park, a lot of that also has highway exposure. There cannot be outdoor storage. I guess we looked at commercial districts. We looked at where cars would be permitted right now in the business t fringe district. You can do boat sales. So these are consistent with what districts are permitted right now. It's like, we want kind of to use that as a rationale. We did consider the office institutional district and also the industrial office park. But really this is something that just needs a small space and we felt that because they're already listed as, they have to go through the permitting process, which the City Council would review as a part of this ordinance. I felt that that was pretty stringent. If you made a conditional use of some of ' those districts, then we're back reviewing all those things that really aren't pertinent to land use issues. If it's an office, if it's something we need to review every time. There's no architectural sort of things. I don't think we want to be burdened with that sort of thing so leaving it permitted in this district is consistent with what's kind of in place right now.
