This application was initially scheduled to appear before the Planning Commission on April
19, 1995. After completing the staff report, we met with the applicant to address some
issues. These issues included the location of the storm pond, berms, sanitary sewer
connections, and the impact it will have on some units. To improve storm water treatment,
the storm pond should be moved to the east of the site and south of the wetland, centered
between the proposed development and the Lake Susan Hills West 2nd Addition subdivision.
This relocation of the pond will impact unit 4 of building 2. The applicant has been worming
on some designs that would break building 2 from a four -plex into 2 duplexes and shifting
them closer to building 3. Staff believes this will reduce the hard surface coverage on the
site to 35% and reduce grading and move the units further away from the existing homes.
The attached plans have not been revised to reflect these changes, however, staff feels the
changes will only improve the overall development. Staff's recommendations reflect the
required changes. The applicant will be providing plans reflecting these changes at the City
Council meeting. Staff has reviewed the revised grading plan and finds it acceptable with a
few minor modifications.
PROPOSAL /SUMMARY
The applicant, Jasper Development, is requesting preliminary plat and site plan approval to
construct a 34 unit townhome housing project on Outlot D. Outlot D was designated as a
medium density site as part of the Lake Susan Hills PUD approval. The townhomes are
proposed to be owner occupied and to be located on 34 zero lot line parcels. The housing
style and density generally falls under the townhome development type buildings. The 7.29
acre site is located south of Prairie Creek Townhomes and Lake Susan Hills Drive, north of
Prairie Knoll Park, west of Lake Susan Hills West 2nd Addition single family homes, and
east of Powers Boulevard. The gross density is 4.6 units per acre. Access will be provided
by three private streets located on community property ( Outlot A) owned and maintained by a
homeowners association. The site is currently zoned PUD -R8, Medium Density Residential
and utilities are available for the area.
The proposal is for 34 one -story townhomes, each with attached 2 car garages. The
townhomes in Blocks 1 through 5 are 1,590 square foot one story with a full walkout
basement. Each unit has a deck in the rear. Townhomes in Block 6 through 9 are 1,319
square foot one -story units with a full basement. Each unit has a deck or a patio at the rear.
The exterior siding materials on both units will be stucco and brick. Exterior trim will be
cedar. Each townhome has its own distinctive facade through the use of different
architectural features such as bay windows, shutters, porches, beams and brackets, and garage
door treatments. To further individualize each unit, the applicant proposes to use changing
color selections of stucco, brick and trim. The colors are proposed to be muted, earth tomes.
Staff is recommending that the applicant introduce similar variation among the buildings rear
elevations, through the shape of windows, adding louvers, adding dormers, or color. A
Lake Susan Hills Townhomes 1 st Addition
April 19,1995
Page 3
homeowners association will be established to maintain the site and units and enforce their
covenants and restrictions.
There are two regulations which influence the development of this site. A PUD contract and
R -8 zoning district regulations. The PUD contract has specific conditions which must be
followed with the development of each phase of the PUD. The PUD contract states that the
mixed medium density sites of the PUD, which the subject site is, must meet the regulations
of the R -8 zoning district, unless otherwise specified in the PUD contract. Within the PUD
contract there appears to be a conflict. The PUD contract states that the medium density sites
cannot exceed 9.3 units /acre and also states that the impervious surface coverage of Outlot D
cannot exceed 27 %. It would almost be impossible to reach 9.3 units /acre with an impervious
surface coverage of not more than 27 %, unless the units were built vertically. Throughout the
staff reports and Planning Commission /City Council minutes for the original approval, it was
stated that 9.3 was the maximum density allowed and the applicant was not guaranteed this
density.
The proposed 34 units result in density of 4.6 units /acre. The impervious surface coverage is
37 %. Therefore, the density is not as high as it could be, but the impervious coverage
exceeds the PUD contract. The R -8 zoning district standards allows a maximum of 35%
impervious coverage. This proposal exceeds the maximum permitted in the R -8 zoning
district by 2 %. The applicant is aware of the situation mainly because the same situation
took place with the two prior developments, Prairie Creek Twinhomes and Powers Place. In
the case of Prairie Creek Twinhomes, the PUD allowed a 31% hard surface coverage, and the
applicant was permitted 24 units which required a 40% hard surface coverage. In the case of
Powers Place, the PUD allowed 30% hard surface coverage, and the applicant was permitted
48 units which required a 35% hard surface coverage. In the case of Lake Susan Hills
Townhomes 1st Addition, staff will be recommending the applicant be permitted a maximum
hard surface coverage of 35% as permitted in the R -8 district.
The property slopes for the most part to the east and south. There are no significant
topographic features on the site except the wetland. The plans propose on significantly
regrading the site to accommodate walkout -type dwellings on the easterly portion of the site.
The plans propose cutting 10 feet in the middle of the site and transferring the material to the
south and east sides of the development. This will result in a fairly level site as compared to
the original grades. Staff believes that the site grading can be reduced overall. The result of
the reduced grading will maintain the existing topography but reduce the number of walkout -
type dwellings.
The landscaping plan is well designed. Landscaping has been provided to screen the
development from Powers Boulevard and Lake Susan Hills Drive. Staff recommends the
applicant incorporate benns along Powers Boulevard and Lake Susan Hills Drive.

Staff is recommending approval of the application with conditions outlined in the report.
' BACKGROUND
In 1987, the city approved a concept PUD approval for Lake Susan Hills. The PUD
permitted up to 411 single family units, created 3 outlots for medium density units and one
outlot for high density units (Attachment #1). The single family lots have been platted in 9
additions continuously since PUD approval. One of the outlots ( Outlot C) designated for
medium density units was platted in April 1993 for 24 units. The second outlot ( Outlot B),
also designated for medium density units was platted on April 10, 1995 for 48 units. The
remaining medium and high density outlots have not been developed. A PUD contract,
adopted as part of the approval, listed the outlots and their proposed uses. Outlots B (9.7
acres), C (4.4 acres) and D (7.29 acres) were designated for medium density development.
The PUD contract states that the development shall provide a minimum of 23.6 acres of
mixed medium density residential units. The total number of dwelling units of mixed
medium density residential property shall not exceed 221, or a density greater than 9.3
units /acre. To date, only 71 units have been approved, leaving a total number of mixed
medium density residential dwelling units of 150. Except as modified by the PUD contract,
the development shall be in accordance with the standards and requirements of the R -8
Zoning District. The only regulations concerning medium density modified by the PUD
contract was the impervious surface coverage that it could not exceed certain amounts, Outlot
B - 30 %, Outlot C - 31% and Outlot D - 27 %, and that the density could not be greater than
9.3 units /acre. The R -8 zoning district permits up to 35% hard surface coverage and up to 8
units /acre density.
' SITE PLAN APPROVAL
General Site Plan /Architecture
The site is 7.29 acres with a gross density of 4.6 units per acre. The 4.6 units per acre is
under the allowed PUD density of 9.3 units per acre and the R -8 ordinance of 8 units /acre.
The applicant is proposing to develop this site with 34 owner occupied units. The units will
be one -story townhomes, each with attached 2 car garages. The townhomes in Blocks 1
through 5 are 1,590 square foot one story with a full walkout basement. Each unit has a deck
in the rear. Townhomes in Block 6 through 9 are 1,319 square foot one -story units with a
full basement. Each unit has a deck or a patio at the rear. The exterior siding materials on
both units will be stucco and brick. Exterior trim will be cedar. Each townhome has its own
distinctive facade through the use of different architectural features such as bay windows,
shutters, porches, beams and brackets, and garage door treatments. To further individualize
Lake Susan Hills Townhomes 1st Addition
April 19,1995
Page 5
each unit, the applicant proposes to use changing color selections of stucco, brick and trim.
The colors are proposed to be muted, earth tomes. Staff is recommending that the applicant
introduce similar variation among building's rear elevations, through the shape of windows,
adding louvers, adding dormers, or color.
PRELIMINARY PLAT /SITE PLAN APPROVAL
Lots /Density
The applicant is proposing to subdivide 7.29 acres of property zoned PUD -R into 34 zero lot
line parcels for townhome units. The property is designated by the Comprehensive Plan as
Medium Density (4 -8 Units /Acre). The subject site is Outlot D from the Lake Susan Hills
PUD and was created as a mixed medium density site. The PUD contract for Lake Susan
Hills PUD stated that the mixed medium density sites (this is the last mixed medium density
outlots left) could not exceed an overall density of 9.3 units /acre, and specifically, Outlot D
(subject site) could not exceed 27% impervious surface coverage. The proposed 34 lots are
located in a cluster south of the site.
The lot sizes for Block 1 through 5, exterior lots are 2,909.7 square feet. The interior lots are
2,713.8 square feet. The lot sizes for Block 6 through 9, exterior lots are 2,552.5 square feet
and the interior lots are 2,376.5 square feet.
The townhome lots are located within a larger community owned parcel, shown as Outlot A
on the preliminary plat. Outlot A contains the private streets and open space.
The density of the site is 4.6 units /acre (gross). Since it is a townhome development with
private streets and mutual open space, the density calculated was gross density rather than the
typical net density. The impervious surface coverage of the site is at 37 %. The PUD
contract stated that the density could not exceed 9.3 units /acre and that the impervious could
not exceed 27 %. As stated previously, the density is not as high as it could be, but the
impervious coverage exceeds the PUD contract. The R -8 zoning district standards permits a
maximum hard surface coverage of 35 %. Staff will be recommending the applicant be
permitted a maximum hard surface coverage of 35% as permitted in the R -8 ordinance. If the
percentage of impervious surface coverage is permitted to be increased, the PUD contract
shall have to be amended to allow the impervious surface coverage of Outlot D to be 35 %.
The applicant will have to amend the plans to reduce the hard surface coverage by 2 %.
The townhome units are maintaining a 25' setback form Powers Boulevard, Lake Susan Hills
Drive and the existing single family lots to the east (which are part of the Lake Susan Hills
PUD). The 25' setback is from the R -8 zoning regulations which the PUD contract states to
follow unless otherwise amended. There are no internal setbacks since the site is serviced
internally by a private street. All 34 units will be served via private street.

Landscaping and Tree Preservation
The applicant has submitted a landscaping plan. The current site is devoid of vegetation.
The Landscaping and Tree Preservation requirements state that a landscape buffer is required
when a subdivision plat is contiguous with a collector street. Required buffering shall consist
of berms and landscape materials consisting of a mix of trees and shrubs and /or a tree
preservation area. The landscaping plan meets all those requirements, however, staff is
recommending the applicant incorporate the use of berms along Powers Boulevard and Lake
Susan Hill Drive. Appropriate financial security will be required.
' The landscaping ordinance requires a minimum of 20% canopy coverage. The following
constitutes our calculation of the required forestation:
' The required post development canopy coverage is 20% or a total of 1.45 acres of tree
canopy. To meet the minimum canopy coverage requirements, the developer would need to
develop a forestation plan for the site which would require the planting of 58 trees.
The PUD agreement states that the developer shall provide buffer areas, acceptable to the
City, between multiple family and single family areas to assure adequate transition between
uses, including use of berms, landscaping, and setbacks from lot lines. The proposed
landscaping plan provides an adequate landscaping buffer along the east edge of the property.
I
Lake Susan Hills Townhomes 1 st Addition

Page 7
The PUD agreement also states that the applicant shall provide $500.00 of landscaping per
multiple family unit. The applicant shall provide the city with a cost estimate for the required
landscaping. The proposed landscaping plan meets all ordinance and PUD requirements.
Street lighting for the interior private streets is not shown on the site plan. Staff is
recommending that before this item goes to the City Council, that a street lighting plan be
prepared for staff review. Street lights will be required in accordance to City standards along
the private streets. The applicant has stated in his narrative that street lighting is proposed to
be residential type electric post lights in each front yard, operated by photocell.
Street Names
In order to avoid conflicts and confusion, street names, public and private, must be reviewed
by the Public Safety Department. Proposed street names are not included with the submitted
documents.
WETLANDS
There is one wetland on -site that is characterized as an ag -urban wetland by the City's
inventory. The wetland is approximately 1.7 acres, however, 1.5 acres of the wetland is on
the property. There will not be any alterations to this wetland as a result of the development.
A sediment trap will be constructed on the west side of the wetland to reduce the nutrient
loading to the wetland.
A buffer strip is required around all wetlands in the City. 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 is 40 feet measured from the outside edge of the buffer strip.
Wetland buffer areas shall be surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland
ordinance. The City will install wetland buffer edge signs before building construction begins
and will charge the applicant $20 per sign.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP)
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. In general,
the water quantity portion of the plan uses a 100 -year design storm interval for ponding and a
10 -year design storm interval for storm sewer piping. The water quality portion of the plan
uses William Walker, Jr.'s Pondnet model for predicting phosphorus concentrations in shallow
water bodies. An ultimate conditions model has been developed at each drainage area based
Lake Susan Hills Townhomes 1 st Addition
April 19,1995
Page 8
on the projected future land use, and therefore, different sets of improvements under full
development were analyzed to determine the optimum phosphorus reduction in priority water
bodies.
Storm Water Qualily Fees
The SWMP has established a water quality connection charge for each new subdivision 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
requirements will be constructed by the applicant, the SWMP water quality fees will be
waived.
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
$2,975 per developable acre. The area of the property subject to these fees is 7.3 acres,
therefore, the proposed development would result in a water quantity connection charge of
$21,718.
DRAINAGE
Most of the site will continue to drain to the wetland. Much of the original drainage areas to
this wetland (approximately 24.9 acres) has been diverted from this wetland due to
development, and therefore, it is important to maintain drainage from this site to the wetland
in order to sustain some of its hydrology. The southern 130 feet of the site will continue to
drain south and the far western 130 feet will drain to the County Road 17 ditch. The City
has advised the applicant to obtain the plans for the County Road 17 reconstruction to make
sure that the drainage patterns and grades are compatible. The wetland also receives
' stormwater runoff from the Lake Susan Hills development to the north, south and east. None
of the storm sewers pretreat the runoff prior to discharging into the wetlands. The City has
an opportunity here to pretreat the southerly storm sewer system from Lake Susan Hills 2nd
Addition by relocating the sediment pond to the east side of the development just south of the
wetland. In addition, staff believes that this is a better location for the storm pond due to
safety concerns. We believe the proposed stormwater pond is too close to Lake Susan Hills
Drive. By relocating the storm sewer pond, the unit on Lot 4, Block 2 will have to be
relocated or lost. Staff still recommends the proposed sediment pond should be relocated to
L
Lake Susan Hills Townhomes I st Addition
April 19,1995
Page 9
the south of the wetland and oversized to accommodate and pretreat storm water runoff from
the adjacent Lake Susan Hills West 2nd Addition. The applicant will be given credit against
their SWMP fees for the oversizing of the stormwater pond.
The proposed sediment trap appears to be large enough to trap up to 54% of phosphorus from
the 6.25 acres draining to the wetland. Along with the hydrologic calculations, the City
requires the computations for the water quality ponding from Walker's pondnet as part of the
final plat. In addition, detailed storm calculations for the individual catch basins will need to
be supplied to the city to verify pipe sizing and catch basin spacing.
GRADING
The site has been employed in agricultural practices in the past. The property slopes for the
most part to the east and south. There are no significant topographic features on the site
except the wetland. The plans propose on significantly regrading the site to accommodate
walkout -type dwellings on the easterly portion of the site. The plans propose cutting 10 feet
in the middle of the site and transferring the material to the south and east sides of the
development. This will result in a fairly level site as compared to the original grades. Staff
believes that the site grading can be reduced overall. The result of the reduced grading will
maintain the existing topography but reduce the number of walkout -type dwellings. Grading
is also proposed within the wetland buffer strip. The plans should be modified to prohibit
grading within the buffer strip.
It appears that the site is to be graded with the initial phase of development. It is unclear
whether or not material will need to be exported from or imported to the site. If material is
needed to be imported or exported from the site, haul routes will need to be submitted for
review and approval by the City. Rock construction entrances should be incorporated into the
plans at both access points onto Lake Susan Hills Drive. The applicant should be aware that
no access will be permitted onto Powers Boulevard (County Road 17).
EROSION CONTROL
An erosion control plan has been incorporated on the grading and drainage plan and
submitted to the city for review and approval. Staff recommends that the applicant use the
city's Best Management Practices Handbook for erosion control measures. All disturbed
areas, as a result of construction, shall be seeded and mulched or sodded immediately after
grading to prevent erosion. The catch basins prior to the first lift of asphalt shall be protected
by means of hay bales or silt fence. The erosion control fence adjacent the wetlands should
be modified to the City's Type III. Additional erosion control fencing may be required
behind the curbs during construction of the buildings. All erosion control fencing shall be
installed outside the wetland buffer zone to prohibit disruption of the wetland buffer strip.
Lake Susan Hills Townhomes 1 st Addition

UTILITIES
' Municipal sanitary sewer and water service is available from Lake Susan Hills Drive. The
plans propose on extending the sewer and water lines from two locations in Lake Susan Hills
Drive. Staff believes the westerly connection to the sanitary sewer system in Lake Susan
Hills Drive can and should be deleted. There is adequate grade to service the site from the
easterly connection point. Water extension is proposed from both locations on Lake Susan
Hills Drive as well. Staff believes the connection at both location points is warranted in
order to provide looping of the water system. The proposed utility improvements within the
development will be private and not be maintained by the City. However, the utility
improvements are fairly substantial and will impact the City's existing infrastructures in Lake
Susan Hills Drive. Therefore, the proposed utility improvements should be designed and
constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail
Plates. Detailed construction plans and specifications should be required and submitted to the
City for review and formal approval by the City Council, in conjunction with the final plat
' approval.
The City is also concerned about proper maintenance and care of the proposed utility
improvements. The City may be contacted to perform annual maintenance functions to the
private utilities for a fee. If the applicant wishes to pursue this option he should contact the
City Engineer to put together a cooperative agreement for maintenance purposes. Upon
completion of the utility improvements, as -built construction plans should be supplied to the
City for record purposes.
Since the applicant has proposed utility and street improvements are to be private, a
development contract will not be necessary. However, staff recommends that the applicant
enter into a site plan agreement with the City and provide security to guarantee street and
' boulevard restoration and compliance to the conditions of approval.
STREETS
The site is proposed to be accessed from Lake Susan Hills Drive via a private street system.
Street access from Lake Susan Hills Drive is proposed in two locations to provide a looped
street. The applicant will need to incorporate cross - access and maintenance agreements in the
homeowners covenants to provide access to all the parcels.
The streets are proposed to be 25 feet wide from back -of -curb to back -of -curb. This results
in a drive aisle of less than 24 feet which is the City's minimum private street width. The
street will need to be widened at least by one foot. The width of the proposed street is too
' narrow to pen parking. Therefore, the street shall be posted for no parking in accordance
with the City's Fire Marshal. Additional traffic signage and a street lighting plan will need to
Lake Susan Hills Townhomes 1 st Addition
April 19,1995
Page 11
be incorporated into the overall development plan. The City will install the necessary traffic
signs and bill the developer for the sign materials.
The street grades appear to meet the City's private street ordinance. The radii at all street
intersections should be 20 feet wide to provide adequate turning movements. The plans
propose a street pavement design which staff believes may be too light of a street section for
a 7 -ton street design. Staff suggests the final pavement design be reviewed and redesigned if
necessary by a professional soils engineer after the street subgrade has been constructed.
Written documentation from the soils engineer attesting that the street section will meet or
exceed a 7 -ton roadway design will be required prior to paving of the streets.
EASEMENTS
The final plat should provide the appropriate utility and drainage easements for access and
maintenance of the storm sewer lines as well as storm water ponding areas. Specific review
of these types of improvements and concerns will be conducted with the final plat and
construction plan and specification review process.
MISCELLANEOUS
Many of the proposed lot lines encroach upon the building setback line. The lot lines should
be modified to avoid encroaching into the building setback areas.
PARK AND RECREATION
As part of the whole Lake Susan Hills PUD, a significant amount of park land was dedicated
to the city and trails were to be developed by the applicant. Therefore, the PUD contract
requires no trail fees and '/z park fees. No park land will be required with this proposal.
PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE
On May 3, 1995, the Planning Commission reviewed and unanimously approved this
application. The applicant presented alternatives to address the location of the storm pond,
berms, sanitary sewer connections, and the impact it will have on some units. To improve
storm water treatment, the storm pond will be located to the east of the site and south of the
wetland, centered between the proposed development and the Lake Susan Hills West 2nd
Addition subdivision. This relocation of the pond will impact unit 4 of building 2. The
applicant has been working on some designs that would break building 2 from a four -plex
into 2 duplexes and shifting them closer to building 3. This will also result in reducing the
hard surface coverage on the site to 35% and reduce grading and move the units further away
from the existing homes. Staff feels the changes will only improve the overall development.
Staffs recommendations reflect the required changes. The applicant agrees with staff and will
Lake Susan Hills Townhomes 1 st Addition
' April 19,1995
Page 12
make the necessary changes. The Planning Commission agreed that the changes are simple
' and can be reviewed by staff.
An issue of concern among the neighbors was the construction debris blowing into their
yards. The applicant is required to keep the site in a clean manner.

LAKE SUSAN HILLS TOWNHOMES
NARRATIVE
The proposed development contains 34 one -story townhouses, each with attached 2 -car
garages. The townhouses in Blocks 1 through 5 are 1590 sT one -story units with a full- walkout
basement. Each has a small deck at the rear. The townhouses in Blocks 6 through 9 are 1319 s.f
one -story units with a full basement. Each has a deck or patio at the rear. Driveways on all units
are large enough to accommodate 2 cars. Additionally there are 12 off - street parking stalls
planned.
The architecture of Lake Susan Hills Townhomes will be traditional with a decidedly
European Country character. Exterior siding materials will be stucco and brick. Exterior trim
will be cedar. Every effort is made to give each townhouse its own distinctive facade by the use
of appropriate architectural features such as bay windows, shutters, porches, beams and brackets,
garage door treatments, etc. To further individualize each unit, color selection of stucco, brick
and trim will change from unit to unit. Colors will be muted, earth tones.
The estimated price range of the units is $150,000 to $220,000. Marketing time is
expected to be 24 months.
The common area and building exteriors will be maintained by the homeowners
association, including lawn and shrub care, snow removal, driveway and street maintenance, roof
replacement, exterior painting, etc. There is proposed a lawn sprinkler system.
Mailboxes will be clustered at 3 locations within the site, garbage service will be
contracted with 1 hauler using light - weight trucks. Pickup will be at each individual unit.
The project is proposed to be phased as follows:
Phase 1 (11 units) -
Phase 2 (11 units) -
Phase 3 (12 units) -
Blocks 1, 2, 7
Blocks 3, 4, 8
Blocks 5, 6, 9
The sanitary sewer serves the site from 2 existing manholes in Lake Susan Hills Drive
through an 8" PVC pipe. Individual services are 4" PVC pipe.
Water service is provided by connection to the 10" main in Lake Susan Hills Drive
through a 6" line, which will be looped. Individual services are V copper pipe with standard curb
box. Two fire hydrants are proposed in the project
Storm water is proposed to be collected at catch basins at each entrance to Lake Susan
Hills Drive and then run underground to a sediment pond to be constructed adjacent to the
existing pond.
The entire site will require grading to attain the proposed drainage pattern. Erosion
control is to be placed prior to grading. Seeding and mulching is to be placed promptly after
grading is completed.
The interior streets are proposed to be bituminous mat on compacted granular base. Curb
shall be surmountable concrete.
Street lighting is proposed to be residential type electric postlights in each front yard,
operated by photocell.
No wetlands mitigation is anticipated.
