' FINAL PLAT REQUEST
' Lundgren Brothers is requesting final plat approval for the 2nd and 3rd Additions of the
Meadows at Longacres. The preliminary plat approval was given in October of 1992 and an
extension of the PUD was given a year later. The preliminary plat has been revised to
' accommodate the acquisition of the Song property and the subsequent plat. The first phase of
this plat included 38 lots and accessed from Highway 41. The 2nd Addition is the extension of
Meadows at Longacres 2nd & 3rd Additions
Final Plat
Page 6
Bent Bow Trail and part of Moccasin Trail. This addition includes 26 lots. The 3rd Addition
is the further extension of Bent Bow Trail and includes 7 lots.
This subdivision was given numerous conditions of approval with the preliminary plat, based on
the scale of the development, sensitive of the natural features and the use of the PUD zone. Staff
has reviewed these conditions to determine which ones apply to this phase, which ones have been
met and which ones still need to be carried forward with this phase of the final plat.
The applicant is proposing to final plat a total of 33 lots with 2 outlots. Following is a list of
the proposed outlots:
Outlot A Future development phases
Outlot B Future development phases
One of the purposes of applying the PUD zone was to give flexibility to the development
standards in order to provide for the preservation of natural features. Two cul -de -sacs in the 3rd
Addition were combined to create a through street (Bent Bow Trail). As a part of the preliminary
plat, front yard variances were given to reduce tree removal or increase setbacks from wetlands.
There are two natural wetlands on the final plats. All wetland lots will have a buffer strip and
will be posted with a buffer monumentation sign.

LANDSCAPING
One of the conditions of the preliminary plat approval was a landscaping /streetscape plan. Gene
Ernst of Ernst and Associates had prepared a landscaping plan. This plan proposed landscaped
entry monuments on either side of the entrance off of Highway 41 as well as a planter island.
Landscaping in these areas include existing deciduous with the addition of 52 Austrian Pines.
Seventeen of the pines will be located between Highway 41 and the private drive to screen the
lots adjacent to Highway 41 in Block 1. Streetscape along Longacres Drive include substantial
stands of existing and deciduous trees with the additional planting of 8 sugar maples and 9 ash
trees. The collector street, Longacres Drive, shall have landscaping consistent with city
ordinances for streetscape.
Tree conservation easements will be developed after site grading and the property corners are
staked. The applicant shall work with the city forester to establish the area for easements.

PARK AND RECREATION
This plat proposes a private neighborhood park, a trail along Highway 41 and adjacent to the
wetland located on the southern edge of the plat. The park will include an informal play area
and a play structure. The Park and Recreation Director has reached an agreement with Lundgren
Brothers Construction that they will act as a general contractor for the city in regard to the
construction of the trail (which has been specified as an asphalt trail to be constructed per
standard city specifications). Lundgren Brothers will solicit a minimum of three bids for the
construction of the trail for presentation to the Chanhassen City Council. The council may elect
to accept a qualifying bid or reject all bids in favor of constructing the trail under a separate
contract. In the event that Lundgren Brothers coordinates this work, the city, upon completion
and acceptance of the trail, will pay Lundgren Brothers Construction the full contract amount.
This payment would be made from the city's trail acquisition and development fund. Under this
arrangement, the city would collect full trail fees in addition to park fees for both the Meadows
at Longacres and the Song property plats.
An additional trail segment needs to be added to the eastern side of Lot 12, Block 2, 2nd
Addition. The complete conditions of approval regarding parks and trails for the Meadows at
Longacres shall read:
1. Full park and trail fees shall be paid per city ordinance.
' 2. Lundgren Brothers Construction will act as the city's general contractor, soliciting bids
for construction of an 8 ft. wide asphalt trail as depicted on the applicant's grading and
drainage plan dated March 1994. The trail segment north of Longacres Drive at Highway
' 41 shall be the only exclusion. Final alignment of this trail shall be staked by the
applicant and approved by the Park and Recreation Director and City Engineer. This trail
' shall be constructed per standard city specifications and must maintain a minimum
separation of 10 ft. from the wetland delineation. A portion of this trail was completed
as a part of the 1st Addition. A minimum of three bids for the construction of this trail
shall be presented to the city for consideration by the Chanhassen City Council. The
council will elect to accept a qualifying bid or reject all bids in favor of rebidding the
work under city contract. In the event that a bid is accepted, Lundgren Brothers
' Construction will coordinate this work as a part of the first phase of public improvements.
Upon completion and acceptance of the trail construction, the city will pay Lundgren
Brothers Construction the full amount for said construction.
3. All easements for trail purposes necessitated by this construction shall be granted to the
city for recording. The minimum width of said easements shall be 20 feet.
' UTILITIES
Meadows at Longacres 2nd & 3rd Additions

Page 10
Trunk sanitary sewer and watermain have been made available to the area via City project No.
92 -5. Assessments for the trunk sanitary sewer and water improvements (trunk and lateral) to
serve the area of the 2nd and 3rd Addition plats, associated with City Project No. 92 -5, have
already been levied. Lateral sanitary sewer and watermain to serve the 2nd and 3rd Additions
will be extended by the developer from the Meadows at Longacres 1st Addition.
The applicant has supplied the City with detailed utility and street construction plans and
specifications which are also being considered for approval at this time. Staff has reviewed the
plans and specifications and finds them in general conformance with City standards and detail
plates. Some minor revisions are still pending on the construction plans. However, staff feels
that they can be worked out fairly easily with the developer's engineer.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
The applicant has submitted a final grading, drainage and erosion control plan for approval. The
revised plans have incorporated staffs recommendations. There are still some minor adjustments
necessary on the grading and drainage plan such as emergency overflow swales, adjusting a house
pad elevation, etc.
The applicant is proposing to fill approximately 2.8 acres of isolated wetlands at nine locations
in the overall development. The applicant has received the necessary permits from the Army
Corps of Engineers back in October of 1993. Therefore, their mitigation measures are 1:1.
However, the developer is actually creating or expanding four wetlands at four separate locations
having a total acreage of approximately 3 acres. This phase includes two natural wetlands. One
of the previous conditions of the preliminary plat was for the applicant to show the setbacks and
wetland buffer edges on the grading plan. The applicant has shown the setbacks as drainage and
utility easements on the final plat. This will be easier for the individual homeowners to obtain
a copy of to determine their actual setback requirements. In addition, the City, under the new
ordinance, will be requiring that wetland monumentation signage be installed on every other lot
line at the buffer edge. The applicant will be charged a fee of $20 per sign accordingly.
Conservation easements and tree preservation easements will be provided over the applicable
areas. These easements will be recorded with the final plat. Staff would still like to have
wetland buffer setbacks shown on the grading plan.
There are two natural wetlands in the 2nd and 3rd Additions. These wetlands require a setback
of 40' plus a 10 -30' (20' average buffer strip). The applicant has proposed a plan demonstrating
compliance with these requirements. Conservation easements shall be placed around all wetlands.
Wetland 4 is proposed to be filled. Wetland 7, 7A and 1C are being modified to add mitigation
to increase their size. Storm water runoff is being conveyed to the NURP basins. The basins
overflow into the wetland areas. The wetland water level is controlled by a storm sewer outlet
pipe. Staff is concerned that the predeveloped flood bounce in these wetlands be maintained.
The applicant will have to submit to the City for review and approval the predeveloped runoff
Meadows at Longacres 2nd & 3rd Additions
Final Plat
' Page 11
conditions to each one of the wetlands on this site and adjust the storm sewer outlets to maintain
' the predeveloped flood levels in each wetland. Staff still has not received detailed storm sewer
calculations for the individual segments of storm sewer or overflow swales on the site. These
calculations must be submitted to staff for review and approval prior to the City formally
' approving the construction plans. The detailed storm water calculations shall be designed to
handle a 10 -year storm event based on the rational method. The drainage overflow swales
provided around Lots 20, 21, 22, 23, Block 2, between Lots 4 and 5, Block 2 and through Lot
' 1, Block 1 shall be a 100 -year design.
The project will be complying with the City's water quality standards and therefore no surface
water management plan (SWMP) fees for water quality will be required. However, depending
on the storm ponding calculations, if the development is not meeting the City SWMP for water
quantity, then the applicant will be required to contribute into the City's SWMP program. The
proposed rate per acre for single family is $1,980 /acre.
Upon review of the construction plans and final plat it appears an additional 15 -foot wide
' drainage and utility easement should be provided on the final plat along the common lot line
between Lots 4 and 5, Block 2 to cover the drainage overflow swale.
STREETS
Access to the 2nd and 3rd Addition is via the extension of Moccasin Trail and construction of
' Bent Bow Trail. These streets will be constructed to the City's standard local urban section (31
feet). Staff has been working with the applicant to develop an island design that works from a
snow plowing and public safety standpoint. Upon review of the island design with the City's Fire
Marshal, based on actual field tests a fire truck will not be able to maneuver in the cul -de -sac
with the islands without jockeying back and forth. If a car is parked either on the outside curb
line or adjacent to the island the truck would not be able to accomplish that movement.
Therefore, the Public Safety Department has recommended that these cul -de -sac islands, as well
as the cul -de -sac, be posted for no parking. Two landscaped islands are proposed, one at the
' southern end of Bent Bow Trail and at the eastern end of Moccasin Trail. The islands will be
maintained by the homeowners association through the means of declaration of covenants.
