Changes have been by the applicant to address these issues. This staff report has been edited to reflect those changes. New information will appear in bold and impertinent information is struck out. PROPOSAL SUMMARY The applicant is requesting preliminary plat and site plan approval to construct a senior housing building which is proposed to include �9 63 units. The total square footage of the building will amount to 94 ,145 79,800 square feet. The units are proposed to be rental units and will include 49 41 one bedroom, 19 one bedroom and a den, and 3 two bedroom units. Parking for the apartments will be accommodated in an underground structure. Due to the life style of the residents, staff does not anticipate more than one parking space per unit will be necessary. In researching this project, staff and the Senior Commission visited numerous Senior Housing complexes and learned that no more than one parking space per unit is used. The zoning ordinance requires one enclosed parking space per unit. However, it specifically states that in the case of senior housing, the city may apply a decreased parking requirement. Staff will recommend that the proposed parking layout be adopted. The housing project is proposed to be constructed on Outlot B and Blocks 5, 6, and 7 of Oak Ponds 2nd Addition. Outlot B and Blocks 5, 6, and 7 of Oak Ponds 2nd Addition were designated as high density sites as part of the Oak Ponds PUD approval. On April 10, 1995, the City Council approved a transfer of density to allow a maximum of 70 units to be built on the subject site. This transfer resulted in less units located within the westerly portion of the site and additional units placed on the northeast corner of the site. The building and the grounds surrounding the building are proposed to be maintained by a management company. The overall density for the entire Planned Unit Development, including the townhouses located to the west and south of the subject property, is 9.6 units per acre. The PUD ordinance allows clustering of units as long as the overall density remains below that which is permitted on the site. The underlying zoning permits 12 units per acre. t The 2.2 acre site is located north of Santa Vera Drive, west of Kerber Boulevard and east of Powers Boulevard. Access will be provided via a driveway off of Santa Vera Drive which will lead to the main lobby area, and a second access off of Kerber Boulevard will direct cars y Oak Ponds 4th Addition April 19, 1995 Page 3 to the underground parking. The site is currently zoned PUD -R12, High Density Residential and utilities are available for the area. As mentioned earlier, this proposal includes 48 63 units. The building was designed in three two and four story stepped, wood frame structures, with an underground parking garage. Exterior materials will be a combination of brick and vinyl no maintenance siding and an asphalt shingle roof. Louvers on gable ends, s#iffmeys, overhangs with columns to define the entrance, arched windows and decks will be provided. There are two regulations which influence the development of this site. A PUD contract and R -12 zoning district regulations. The PUD contract has specific conditions which must be followed with the development of each phase of the PUD. The development is also subject to the R -12 zoning district, unless otherwise specified in the PUD contract. The proposed 78 63 units result in a density of 34-4 28.6 units /acre. However, as mentioned earlier, the overall density of the Oak Ponds Planned Unit Development is 9.6 units /acre. The impervious surface coverage is 44- 40 %, however, this number does not include Outlot G, which was dedicated to the City as part of the Oak Ponds First Addition. Therefore, the hard surface coverage is not as high as shown. The PUD R -12 zoning district standards permits a maximum of 50 %. The site is devoid of vegetation. The proposed landscaping plan is well within planting requirements. Staff will Y-eeen mead some ehanges to the landsea p The Planning Commission directed the applicant to increase the tree canopy coverage from 15% as required by ordinance to 30 %. The applicant was also asked to provide an average height of 9 feet tall coniferous trees and 3Y2 inch caliper deciduous trees. The revised plan incorporated all of those changes with the exception of 10 Bur Oak trees which will have a 2 inch caliper. Oak trees are generally available only in the smaller caliper size since they are more successfully transplanted and tend to establish themselves better than larger size oak transplants. Staff believes this is acceptable. Staff is recommending park and trail, site plan and subdivision application, building permit, and sewer and water connection fees be waived as this is a public project. Staff is recommending approval of the application with conditions outlined in the report. BACKGROUND The City Council gave preliminary PUD and Site Plan approval to the "Oaks" development on December 14, 1992. The final plat included 7 outlots and the entire right -of -way for the extension of Santa Vera Drive and Powers Boulevard. The total number of units approved 7 1 Oak Ponds 4th Addition April 19, 1995 Page 4 on the site was 209. Outlot A was the first phase of this development. It included 8 buildings, with each building having 8 units. Outlots B and D were replatted into Oak Ponds 2nd Addition. It included 7 buildings for a total of 57 units. This phase included a mixture of 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 12 plexes. Outlots E and F were replatted into Oak Ponds 3rd Addition. It included 13 buildings for a total of 51 units. This phase include a mixture of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 plexes. BACKGROUND Approximately five years ago, the City undertook an open -ended Senior Housing study with no preconceived ideas. The results indicated a definite need for Senior Housing. The City then took this a step further and conducted a Senior Housing feasibility study to ensure the need exists. The results showed a deficiency in senior housing in the Chanhassen area. It also indicated that most elderly are being forced to move out of the City if they can no longer maintain their current homes. The city investigated 13 possible locations. After two years of investigation, the list was narrowed to three sites which were selected (the parcel occupied by Byerly's, the parcel east of Americana Community Bank, and the subject site). The Byerly's site is no longer available, and the parcel adjacent to Americana Community Bank is adjacent to the Twin Cities Western Railroad. There are a minimum of five train trips per day on this line, at different hours of the day and night. The site would be unsuitable for senior housing. The subject site is ideal for senior housing. It is within walking distance from all the amenities within downtown, such as Byerly's, Festival, Target, Senior Center, Post Office, City Center Park, clinics, etc. This site was also selected by the Vision 2002 Committee after an in -depth study which took approximately one year. The Vision 2002 process included several public meetings where this issue was discussed. In addition, a survey of Chanhassen residents was taken to review elements of the vision plan. Through the past five years, this project appeared before the City Council in the form of work sessions, a joint session with the Senior Commission, and presentation to the City Council after the study was completed. Staff kept the community updated through newsletter articles and local newspapers. The city is working with Carver County HRA to develop the current proposal before you today. SITE PLAN APPROVAL General Site Plan /Architecture The site is 2.2 acres with a gross density of 38 28.6 units /acre. However, as mentioned earlier, the overall density of the Oak Ponds Planned Unit Development is 9.6 units /acre. The 9.6 units per acre is under the allowed PUD density of 12 units per acre and the R -12 ordinance of 12 units /acre. Oak Ponds 4th Addition April 19, 1995 Page 5 The applicant is proposing to develop this site with 7$ 63 units. The total square footage of the building will amount to 84,14 5 79,800 square feet. The units are proposed to be rental units and will include 49 41 one bedroom, 19 one bedroom and a den, and 3 two bedroom units. Parking for the apartments will be accommodated in an underground structure. Due to the age of the residents, staff does not anticipate more than one parking space per unit will be necessary. In researching this project, staff and the Senior Commission visited numerous Senior Housing complexes and learned that no more than one parking space per unit is needed. The zoning ordinance requires one enclosed parking space per unit. However, it specifically states that in the case of senior housing, the city may apply a decreased parking requirement. Staff will recommend that the proposed parking layout be approved. Fourteen visitor parking spaces are provided at ground level. The current plan reflects 44 14 visitor parking spaces; h8WOVeF, . The housing project is proposed to be constructed on Outlot B and Blocks 5, 6, and 7 of Oak Ponds 2nd Addition. Outlot B and Blocks 5, 6, and 7 of Oak Ponds 2nd Addition were designated as high density sites as part of the Oak Ponds PUD approval. The building and the grounds surrounding the building are proposed to be maintained by a management company. The 2.2 acre site is located north of Santa Vera Drive, west of Kerber Boulevard and east of Powers Boulevard. Access will be provided via a driveway off of Santa Vera Drive which will lead to the main lobby area and visitor parking area, and a second access off of Kerber Boulevard will direct cars to the underground parking. The site is currently zoned PUD -R12, High Density Residential and utilities are available for the area. As mentioned earlier, this proposal includes 78 63 units. The building was designed in three, and four story stepped, wood frame structure, with an underground parking garage. Exterior materials will be a combination of brick and vinyl no maintenance siding and an asphalt shingle roof. Louvers on gable ends, elms, overhangs with columns to define the entrance, arched windows on all top floor units, and decks will be provided.

In general, the building will have a pleasant appearance. The building will have a maximum height of 44.75 44.2 feet. There are two regulations which influence the development of this site. A PUD contract and R -12 zoning district regulations. The PUD contract has specific conditions which must be followed with the development of each phase of the PUD. The development is also subject to the R -12 zoning district, unless otherwise specified in the PUD contract. The proposed 7-G 63 units result in density of -34-.-8- 28.6 units /acre. However, as mentioned earlier, the overall density of the Oak Ponds Planned Unit Development is 9.6 units /acre. The ' Oak Ponds 4th Addition April 19, 1995 Page 6 impervious surface coverage is 4440 %, however, this number does not include Outlot G, ' which was dedicated to the City as part of the Oak Ponds First Addition. Therefore, the hard surface coverage is not as high as shown. The PUD R -12 zoning district standards permits a maximum of 50 %. ' PRELIMINARY PLAT /SITE PLAN APPROVAL ' Lot/Density The applicant is proposing to replat 2.2 acres of property zoned PUD -R12 into one parcel to ' house a senior housing complex. The property is designated by the Comprehensive Plan as High Density (8 -16 Units /Acre). The subject sites are Outlot B and Block 5, 6, and 7 of Oak Ponds 2nd Addition from the Oak Ponds PUD and was created as a high density site. This ' portion was proposed to house rental housing. Through negotiations between the City and the applicant, staff proposed locating Senior Housing on Outlot B. The applicant was agreeable to this proposal and was willing to revise the plans accordingly. ' Original plans showed 121 units to be located within Outlots D, E, and F. The current proposal maintains the same number of units, however, it transfers densities within the site. This is permitted under the PUD ordinance. The density of the site is -344 28.6 units /acre (gross). The impervious surface coverage of ' the site is at 4-1-4 40 %. The PUD contract stated that the density could not exceed 12 units /acre and that the impervious could not exceed 50 %. As stated previously, this is consistent with the PUD requirements. The building is maintaining a 20' 30' setback form Santa Vera Drive. Th PUP D 12 zo r-egelations requ setback f em Santa Ver a Drive. There are no internal setbacks.

The site is void of any existing trees or vegetation. According to ordinance, a 15% canopy coverage is required for such sites. The applicant's coverage surpasses the required percent and also meets minimum landscape standards for open vehicular use and parking lot areas. The landscape plan includes a respectable diversity of plant materials and sizes. An increase in canopy on the west side of the site, however, would conserve energy by providing the greatest amount of shade in the summer. It would also benefit the residents by attractively screening the rear of neighboring apartments. Canopy e . efage eo ld also b ' d on the east side of the site by the pafk4ag let to r-edtiee heat and glafe in the summer- and seften u u uiu the - ppeaFanee ef the pafk4 g let. Revegetation of ground cover on the site will be especially important for the reduction and elimination of erosion and run -off on the steep slope of the north side of the site. The City recommends utilizing seed blankets on the hill to assist in establishing vegetation as quickly as possible and stabilizing the hillside. Native vegetation is preferred by the City on the northern slope. A mix of native grasses and shrubs, such as sumac, will help slow runoff considerably and benefit the site aesthetically. The Planning Commission directed the applicant to increase the tree canopy coverage from 15% as required by ordinance to 30 %. The applicant was also asked to provide an average height of 9 feet tall coniferous trees and 3Y2 inch caliper deciduous trees. The revised plan incorporated all of those changes with the exception of 10 Bur Oak trees which will have a 2 inch caliper. Oak trees are generally available only in the smaller caliper size since they are more successfully transplanted and tend to establish themselves better than larger size oak transplants. Staff believes this is acceptable. WETLANDS An ag -urban wetland exists just northwesterly of the site. The City has utilized this ponding area in the past for stormwater retention and stormwater quality purposes. During construction of the Oak Ponds development, the developer has employed the use of a temporary sediment basin to pretreat stormwater runoff prior to discharging into the ag -urban ' Oak Ponds 4th Addition April 19, 1995 ' Page 8 wetland. According to the City's Wetland Inventory, this pond is considered an ag -urban ' wetland and therefore a buffer strip of 0 -20 with an average of 10 feet must be maintained. Upon review of the grading plan, site grading will not be any closer than 75 feet from the edge of the wetland. ' ACCESS ' Access to the site is proposed from Santa Vera Drive and Kerber Boulevard. Driveway access from Kerber Boulevard is proposed to access the underground garage facility while the driveway access point from Santa Vera is used to access the upper parking area assumed to ' be for visitors and a drop off or loading zone. Both access points should be "'er eased to are proposed to have 26 -foot wide driveways with 20 -foot wide radiuses to accommodate turning movements. We also recommend adding street lighting in the vicinity of the curb ' access points to improve visibility for turning movements into the site. The curb access on Santa Vera Drive and Kerber Boulevard will intersect existing concrete sidewalks. Both driveway accesses will need to incorporate pedestrian ramps to facility the sidewalk. The ' proposed driveway access from Kerber Boulevard will also be in conflict with an existing street light. The street light will need to be relocated by the applicant to one side or the other of the driveway access. This street light will also accommodate the illumination of the access 1 point as well. GRADING & DRAINAGE ' The entire site has been previously graded in conjunction with the Oak Ponds 2nd and 3rd phases. Additional grading is proposed to facilitate the building, parking areas and berming. ' The applicant is proposing to grade into the City's right -of -way along Kerber Boulevard. The applicant should be aware of an existing watermain located in the west boulevard of Kerber Boulevard which needs to maintain 7 feet of cover. In addition, street lights are randomly placed along Kerber Boulevard which will need to be avoided or relocated as a part of site grading. S The plans incorporate the use of retaining walls on the site over the northwesterly corner of the building and the easterly portion of the upper parking lot area. The retaining walls range from two to eleven eight feet in height. The 44- 8 foot retaining wall proposed in the northwest corner of the building. All retaining walls in excess of four feet in height will need to be engineered per building codes. As a result of the site grading, the existing landscaping previously planted by the Oak Ponds developer will need to be transplanted accordingly. Erosion control measures are *4 shown on the plans and need to . The applicant has ' provided a note indicating "erosion control fencing already exists around most of the site. Modifications and additions will be installed as needed." The plans should incorporate a perimeter of erosion control fence (Type I) along the west, east and south, and the northerly Oak Ponds 4th Addition April 19, 1995 Page 9 portion of the slope should be protected with the Type III erosion control which may or may not be already installed. During construction, rock construction entrances should be employed at the access point to the site. Staff recommends that the access points be limited to the actual curb cuts as proposed. It is unclear whether or not excess material will be generated from the site grading. The applicant should be aware that they will need to submit a haul route for all materials being imported or exported from the site for review and approval by the City. The utility plan proposes -a catch basins to convey stormwater runoff from the lower driveway off Kerber Boulevard. The plans do not pr-epese any ethef ster-m sewer- system to e8fivey the u Y „b re inf eFmatien rvi how the upper- level par-14ag lot will drain The upper parking lot also proposes a catch basin to convey storm runoff to the existing storm sewer in Santa Vera Drive. As a part of the overall site development of the Oak Ponds development (Phases I, II, and III), a comprehensive storm drainage plan was designed and implemented to convey stormwater runoff to pretreatment basins located adjacent to the wetlands on the north side of the parcel. It appears part of the site will now drain easterly to Kerber Boulevard connecting to the existing storm sewer system. The Kerber Boulevard storm sewer system drains easterly underneath Kerber Boulevard into the Chanhassen Pond Park directly east of Kerber Boulevard. Detailed storm water calculations have been submitted to staff for review and approval. Staff believes that +his the drainage plans are alter-native may be feasible with the impl °m enta " cleaning uxc� of the stormwater quality basin located downstream in the park property. The city's Public Works crews will re- excavate in front of the storm sewer discharge point in the park to improve water quality prior to seeding Chanhassen Park Pond.

UTILITIES The site is serviced by municipal sewer and water from Santa Vera and Kerber Boulevard. The plans propose to utilize the existing sanitary sewer service stub from Santa Vera and water stubouts for hydrant placements on the site from both Kerber Boulevard and Santa Vera Drive. Oak Ponds 4th Addition April 19, 1995 ' Page 10 PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE On April 19, 1995, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved this application. The proposal was reviewed in detail and the following constitutes a summary of issues raised at the meeting: * Increase landscaping on the site: The Planning Commission directed the ' applicant to increase the tree canopy coverage from 15% as required by ordinance to 30 %. The applicant was also asked to provide an average height of 9 feet tall coniferous trees and 3 1 / inch caliper deciduous trees. The revised plan ' incorporated all of those changes with the exception of 10 Bur Oak trees which will have a 2 inch caliper. Oak trees are generally available only in the smaller caliper size since they are more successfully transplanted and tend to establish ' themselves better than larger sized oak transplants. Staff believes this is acceptable. * Re- examine the height of the building and investigate solutions: The applicant has reduced the pitch of the roof as well as increased the grading of the site which resulted in reducing the overall height of the building. The applicant has ' also taken vertical elements from the design of the building and replaced them with horizontal features, giving the building a lower profile appearance. ' * Use natural materials for the retaining wall and change the roof color to reduce the mass of the roof line: The applicant has reduced the height of the retaining wall from 11 feet to 8 feet. Furthermore, the applicant's landscape architect ' informed staff that a form of climbing ivy will be planted around the retaining wall. Bur Oak and Sumac will be planted along the northerly portion of the site which should screen the retaining wall from views from the single family homes to the north. The applicant has prepared three color scheme alternatives which will be shown at the City Council meeting. The applicant met with the Senior ' Commission to discuss the proposed changes. The most desirable color scheme shows natural tones and resemble the darker shade of brick used on the City Hall building. Exterior building samples will be provided at the City Council meeting. ' RECOMMENDATION ' Staff recommends the City Council adopt the following motion: "The City Council approves the preliminary and final plat to replat 2.2 acres from Outlot B and Block 5, 6, and 7 of Oak Ponds 2nd Addition into Lot 1, Block 1, Oak Ponds 4th Addition and Site Plan Review #95 -3 for a 78 63 Unit Senior Housing Building as shown on the plans dated " , May 1, 1995 and subject to the following conditions: Oak Ponds 4th Addition April 19, 1995 Page 11 1.

We have lived in Chanhassen for some 26 years, and as many of you know, we have been very active in community affairs. ' Because of our desire to continue our community involvement and the fact that many of our friends and family live in and around Chanhassen. we ' hope to sta in Chanhassen for many years to come. Some day in the not so distant future we may reach a point where we no longer want to remain in our home. At that time, without a senior housing option in ' Chanhassen. we may well be forced to leave this community. We know that many others in town feel the same way. What a tremendous loss for the City of Chanhassen if its senior citizens, who have so much to give to this City, are forced to leave because of a lack of housing alternatives. This tragedy can be avoided. We urge you to vote in favor of building senior housing, and vote in favor of making Chanhassen a city that welcomes all of its citizens.

That study showed many needs such as Information and Referral, a Senior Center, Congregate dining, Home help, Senior housing, etc. In 1991, the Senior Commission was appointed to work on these issues. Information and Referral grew into the County Linkage Line at our Center. A Senior Center Thanks to the City we have a beautiful ' facility which we are fast outgrowing. Congregate dining is on hold. However, the center does have once a month catered dinners, some lunch programs, etc. Home help The County chore program covers that. Senior housing We are now to the final processes of that. We have put in many hours touring other facilities, having presenters at Commission ' meetings and Council meetings to explain planning and allowing for future needs. ' As the years go by we seniors find ourselves unable to do many things and become more dependent on others - families. It is not easy for us to give up our homes, belongings and life style to live in a senior residence. However, there comes a time when it is not ' safe or sensible for seniors to live alone especially "senior seniors ". Senior housing is needed. Many Chanhassen seniors have had to find such housing in other places. They want to come back ' to their "home base" where family and friends are. Then there are those Chanhassen residents with aging parents that live some distance away who want to have their parents nearby. ' For these reasons, I urge you to vote in favor of senior housing. Sincerely, Jane Kubitz� Senior Commission 7492 Saratoga Drive ' Chanhassen, MN 55317 May 2, 1995 Chanhassen City Council Members 690 Coulter Drive Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear City Council Members: Having lived my entire life in the Lake Minnetonka area and since 1955 in Chanhassen, I have seen the area change from country to suburban. Progress and growth demand many changes some welcome - some not. i.e. when a household has a new well and septic system, it does not welcome a $6,000 - $7,500 expense for city sewage and water, but now after some 20 years, the change has been proven to be the right decision in the growth of our city. Studies have shown a need for senior housing in our city of 15,000 people . I believe this step is necessary and I strongly urge all of you to vote in favor. Senior housing will come to Chanhassen - now - or later when more seniors have left and building costs are higher.

I very much favor affordable housing for some of these units. ' My mother, Marion Stultz is an active and high contributor for the seniors in Chanhassen. Because there was no affordable ' housing, she moved to Waybury in Jonathan 10 years ago. She would very much like to move back to Chanhassen, as she doesn't drive much anymore and does all her shopping and as stated above, many activities here. , I realize my mother is not the only one in need of affordable housing, therefore, I ask that you listen to their needs.

Mancino: Any questions for staff? I have one. Sharmin, one of the recommendations or one of your suggestions was to add some overstory trees on the western side. Al -Jaff: Correct. Mancino: Will that be shown tonight by the applicant? That revision or could you show me where you mean. Al -Jaff: It would be along this area. Mancino: Okay. And the purpose that it serves is for sheltering in the summer, etc. Was there another area also that you had suggested more canopy coverage? Or was that it? 18 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 Al -Jaff: It would be the southern area of the building in general. Mancino: Okay, thank you. Does the applicant wish to make a presentation at this time? Julie Frick: Madam Chairman, members of the commission, my name is Julie Frick and I'm in the Director of the Carver County Housing and Redevelopment Authority. We've been working with the city on this project for quite some time and we've brought along some of the renderings to try to comply with all of the requirements and still provide some ... for the seniors in the city of Chanhassen. At this time I'll turn it over to Carol Crow from Dunbar Development who I'm working with. And also working... Mancino: Thank you. Carol Crow: Good evening. I'm Carol Crow with Dunbar Development. We've been working closely with ... Carver County and Chanhassen, both the redevelopment authorities on this development. I have some renderings that show some of the changes that we have been working on as requested by the staff. One thing I would like to start out with, there is some, the layout of the building can be somewhat confusing so I'd just like to walk through that with you so you can see how the four stories of the building lay out. This is a site plan of the building. If you enter, the garage entrance to the underground parking area is off of Kerber Boulevard, which is shown here. The north side of the underground park would be the first level. Above that you have three more levels. This would be the north side here. On the west side of the building there is no housing on the first, on the parking level. On the first level that steps up to street level and then up to four levels and then down to three at the very end. We have complied with the setback requirements from Kerber Boulevard. We have pulled it back to 50 feet farther. To do that we have eliminated 7 units of housing to bring the building 10 feet back so we do have the 30 foot setback from Santa Vera Drive. Mancino: So there are a total of 63 units? Carol Crow: 63 units. We also have several computer generated drawings of what the building will look like from the neighbor's perspective. This is kind of an older photo so it doesn't show all the homes that have been developed along here but this would be Canyon Curve—our development. These various photos represent the front to side... There is approximately 400 feet distance between our property and the neighboring... Mancino: I'm sorry, what's the point of those? What are those showing me? I mean I see the overhead. Carol Crow: We're just showing you the neighbor's and perspective to our building... 19 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 Farmakes: When you said 400 feet, from building to building or from property line to property line? Carol Crow: From our building to the neighbors. Farmakes: From structure to structure? Carol Crow: From structure to structure. Farmakes: Okay. Carol Crow: This would be more or less an aerial view of the building. These two would be aerial views. These would be views if you were standing in one of these, this house for example would be ... Also the rendering in this one ... this would be a perspective looking at the back of the building. This is a photograph from down the hill at Kerber Boulevard. This is another development right across the street from our site that is currently under construction. This represents or shows our building on the side in relation to the building across the street. Mancino: So we are on Kerber, where are we right now? We are on Saddlewood and Kerber? Mike Sepena: We're north of the site. At the first road that goes in ... I believe it's Saddlewood... Farmakes: What is the retaining wall material again? Carol Crow: Pardon me? Farmakes: What is that material again? I don't remember, Carol Crow: I think we're looking at something like a Keystone type of block. Farmakes: So it's not flat surface. It's textured. Mancino: I'm sorry Carol, I have a question about that. Now I am to presume that on that lower left view, okay. That I am in my car, which I did this afternoon on Canyon Curve, and that's a perspective I'm going to see? Carol Crow: Actually if you were in the house. 20 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 ' Mancino: I don't know what to say. Only that when I sat in my car, it was a much closer feel, the land mass was, without the building on it. The land mass was much, felt much closer to me than the perspective that you're showing there. So it's just, I don't know if ' anyone else did that. Went to where the houses were on Canyon Curve but I felt that the perspective, it was very different than what I'm seeing. ' Conrad: I can relate. Skubic: I agree ... seems to be much closer... illustration. ' Carol Crow: Excuse me, could I ask Mike Sepena with ... He worked on these and he might be able to provide. Mancino: Oh, thank you. ' Mike Sepena: I'm not sure how much more information I can provide other than basically what we did is we plugged the whole building into the machine so we could go all the way around it and have a bunch of different views since we don't have a model here at the ' meeting. The view that you were asking about was this one... This view is taken, this is the pond that shows right down here. So this view is taken from over here looking in that direction. Carol Crow: So it's farther... Mike Sepena: Right. Looking across the pond at the building. That was here. This one here is taken from the road. From Kerber Boulevard looking in this direction. Then these both are similar views except with eye level up in the air... Mancino: Any commissioners have any questions, comments for Mike at this point? Farmakes: What is red is berming, is that correct? Or terra cotta color. Mancino: Julie and Carol, are you done? Carol Crow: Oh, yes. Unless... Mancino: Okay, thank you. Any other questions. Do you happen to have material samples? As to brick, the siding, etc. 21 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 Carol Crow: I'm sorry, I didn't bring those with me. The exterior would be a vinyl siding and the brick would be... Mancino: What color vinyl siding? Carol Crow: We haven't decided on final colors but what we're showing on the scheme is. sort of a taupe. Mancino: Okay. And the brick, what? Carol Crow: A reddish brown brick. Mancino: Thank you. Any other questions? On materials or detailing. Thank you very much. May I have a motion to open it to a public hearing. Nutting moved, Farmakes seconded to open the public healing. All voted in favor and the motion cmiied. The public healing was opened. Mancino: Thank you. This is open the public hearing. Anyone who would like to come up and have comments, please do. State your name and address. Tim Anderson: Hi. My name's Tim Anderson. I live at 7550 Canyon Curve. I guess there's two items I'd like to bring up. One is one that's been brought up, is the size of the building. It is a big building. We had asked city staff and at a previous Council meeting I had asked for renderings to be made and these renderings that were made are fine except that it would have been nice if they were on a photographic type rendering... I think I agree with what Nancy was saying that, because the site is up high and it juts out from the rest of this hill, the slope, which kind of juts to the north, the filling should actually be in front or farther north than like the townhomes will be that will be constructed west of it. It really gives the appearance that it's closer than even like these rendering provide and that's because obviously you're missing, it's a computer rendering, not a photographic rendering and it's very difficult, I feel to really get a feel for what this thing's going to look like, even with what they provided tonight. I wanted to mention one other thing. A previous plan for this site, done 3 years ago, was originally planned to put about 40 apartment units up on the hill. My neighbors and I had made a video. Actually about 3 years ago in a snowstorm with 30 foot poles showing how big even a 30 foot apartment building would be on the hill and because of this and some other comments from the Council... staff, the developer decided to put townhomes on the hill. Now they're planning, this project puts 70, or excuse me, 63 units where 40 was too much before. Second item is the garage entrance onto Kerber. Myself and a lot of my neighbors have children who attend school at Chanhassen Elementary who often walk or ride their 22 r Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 ' bicycles to school and we worry about having a driveway entrance from the building onto Kerber and if at all possible, could this entrance be put off of, the underground parking entrance be placed off of Santa Vera. There are no other driveway entrances north of the ' school along the entire stretch of Kerber Boulevard. I have, I guess that's my only comments to make so thank you. ' Mancino: Thank you. Anyone else? Jack Thien: My name is Jack Thien. I live at 7570 Canyon Curve. My house, if you haven't been by there, is the sort of blue gray house. My house faces, the back of it faces directly to that hill and I do have a concern about the size of the building also because the building, I don't know, what is the height of the building itself? Mancino: Sharmin? Al -Jaff: An average of 44.75 feet. There is one side of 42 feet and another side of 46 feet so when you average those you come up with 44 feet. ' Mancino: So the highest is 46? Al -Jaff: Correct. ' Conrad: As measured from where to where? I Al -Jaff: As measured from. ' Aanenson: Average grade. Conrad: So not the north side or not the south side, but someplace inbetween? Aanenson: Correct. ' Mancino: So on the north side it would be. Al -Jaff: The north side is 46 feet. It is 46 feet. ' Mancino: I'm sorry, go ahead Jack. Jack Thien: And I wonder ... my concern is the size of the building and I thought about another concern too possibly is, how many stories is this? Four stories? Four IPVels. 1 23 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 Al -Jaff: Correct. Jack Thien: And my concern is, I know myself I'm getting in my 40's and I don't get around as quickly as I used to and one of the concerns that I thought about was, you know somebody being on the fourth level, you know if an emergency does come up of some sort, how quickly are they going to be able to evacuate so that was a concern too. So it's just my hopes that we can work something out. I think we had talked one time, is there a possibility of going with the grade at all and lowering... what it is now. Al -Jaff: We looked at that. The only problem with it becomes the underground parking. Right now you need to match the grade to allow for the parking with Kerber Boulevard. And if you lower it any further, Dave can you answer that question? Hempel: I think you've addressed it pretty well Sharmin. The road does eventually... continue to bring the driveway down further. You'll have a steeper slope into the basement garage... unit down further, you push the grading closer to the pond. Mancino: What is the steepness of that right now from the lower garage level to Kerber? Hempel: I believe it's about 2% to 3 %... Mancino: Okay, thank you. Jack Thien: I can't think of anything else. Oh, there was one thing. If you haven't actually viewed that hill from Canyon Curve, I certainly would hope that you would do that ... because it is a different view than what the rendering is. It's -up here you know as opposed to more eye level and I just hope that... Mancino: Thank you for your comments. Anyone else like to address the Planning Commission? Kevin Crystal: My name is Kevin Crystal. I live at 940 Saddlebrook Curve. I'd just like to repeat my opposition to the height, or their opposition to the height. It being up on a hill, that certainly would dominant the skyline for quite an area around there. Mancino: Thank you. John Linforth: Good evening. My name is John Linforth. I live at 7471 Canyon Curve and to first say that I think most of the neighbors in our neighborhood would like to have senior housing on that hillside... None of us have, that I have heard, have voiced any opposition to 24 n r Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 having any type of senior housing development put on that hill. The major opposition that I'd like to voice is the height of this building. It's opening up an interesting... This project could not be done yesterday without 70 units. Today it can be done with 63 units. So what makes sense today is fairly random... that I'd like to ask the staff, where do they measure the 42 feet from the northern exposure ... If I understand, the mid -point of the eaves are the measuring points on the northern exposure. From my rough estimates, the actual height of that building is over 60 feet tall. This will be a monolithic sized building, from a hillside that has no vegetation at all on it. I think if you lower this building so that it conforms with the established houses that the Planning Commission and the City of Chanhassen works with, it would fit in with the neighborhood. But as it is right now, it's a huge building. Mancino: Thank you. Sharmin, can you take a minute to clarify exactly where the 46 is by going to the drawing on the northern elevation. Al -Jaff: Okay we're looking from this point up to the middle of Mancino: So from the ground level to the middle is 46? Al -Jaff: Correct. Mancino: Okay. And in some of those peak areas, you're going to have an additional 20 feet? Al -Jaff: With the peak areas it would come up to 50 feet. I mean if you measure up to the peak, then you are at 50 feet. Mancino: Okay, thank you. Anyone else wish to address the Planning Commission tonight? Sherrell McCoskey: I'm Sherrell McCoskey. I live at 7481 Canyon Curve and my concerns are too in the height of the building. Also the driveway going directly out onto Kerber Boulevard. That seems to be a dangerous proposition with all the children around. I'm concerned about the lack of landscaping. It sounded like they were just going to have sumac or something and there are some oak trees near -by and some kind of covering, even in the winter time would be kind of a nice thing. Judging from that hill, it will probably take me 25 years to grow a tree tall enough to cover up this building but maybe there's something they can do on their part in the meantime. I'm also concerned about how tall the retaining wall is. If that, do you know how tall that is? Al -Jaff: Total of 11 feet but it's going to be stepped. 25 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 Sherrell McCoskey: And I guess I'd like to encourage anyone that's wondering what this is going to look like, to go see a large red apartment building by ... Creek Golf Course on Valley View Road in Eden Prairie. It is just a huge, ugly building and maybe if we went with a color that was a little lighter or something, it wouldn't be such a monster sitting up on that hill. Mancino: Thank you. Greg Hromatka: My name is Greg Hromatka. I live at 7580 Canyon Curve and just obviously the height is a concern. My property is directly along the one side which you have here and the ... from the corner of the street, which would be Saddlebrook Curve and Kerber, it really doesn't do justice to the leveling off the hill down to the neighborhood that's directly in my back yard and all around. Another issue would be, cars are traveling away from downtown Chan on Kerber Boulevard ... I feel and it's basically a blind intersection for where these cars would be pulling out. That's a real concern. That's for the kids as well as traffic... Mancino: Thank you. Anyone else? Cindy Schallock: I'm Cindy Schallock and I live at 7501 Canyon Curve, and just two concerns. To reiterate that the size of the building, and also the driveway. You know, for someone to start at that point, I thought well we could cross the street but there isn't really any crosswalk along there. That's south of where that driveway would be and then if you have the townhomes there, that's the only crosswalk for Kerber Boulevard. Painted crosswalk on the street. So that corner is a big concern as far as traffic goes. I'm thrilled that a senior community is going in there and I hope it does go through. I'd much rather see that go through than rental townhomes... I've worked with seniors the last 12 years and, in a community quite like this, in senior housing in Minnetonka, and I'm really excited. Mancino: Appreciate your comments. Anyone else? I see more people. Do I have a motion to close the public hearing? Nutting moved, Comad seconded to close the public hewing. All voted in favor and the motion cwiied. The public hewing was closed. Mancino: Discussion from commissioners. Jeff. Farmakes: It's an interesting problem, but I haven't been working on it for several months like city staff and the County. I'm very familiar with the area. I've lived here for a long time, close by this area and have been on the commission here when we dealt with the townhomes developed adjacent on the top of the hill here. First of all I'd like to discuss the 26 P-1 n 7 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 building or the general impressions of the building, irregardless of the height. I think city staff did a wonderful job breaking up the facades. Creating textures in this building. Considering some of the problems that they had, the size of the acreage, putting up many units and trying to create something that would fit in to the residential area was a difficult assignment. They did a nice job. The materials I think are for the most part done in such a way not to be institutional but to create a residential feeling to the building. It actually looks like kind of an Italian hillside town. Mancino: Villas. Farmakes: Yeah. I would much rather live here than in the townhouses adjacent to the top of the hill. And the view from there is quite nice. One of the things that I've always been concerned about in working with that particular area. We were talking about the other development farther up the hill. There's a considerable distance that separates Saddlebrook with the top of this hill and as difficult as that may be, when communities and cities look for transition or what is the transition from one to the other, one of those criterias is distance that you use and what separates that usage. In reality, we're a block from mainstreet here. I mean it's not that far away. We're not out in the hinterlands. There's been elaborate studies done and distance and what works for this type of housing and what the major criteria is that it's within quick access to the necessities of life and the service areas. Grocery stores and shopping and so on that don't require large distances to go. Now anybody who's had kids in this city knows that you spend a tremendous time driving back and forth picking up things, dropping people off. So I think that the need for this type of thing and where it's location is, is pretty finite. That there are very few places that this can go to meet those criteria. And again, I think that they've done a very good job and it isn't often that I get into this. There's a couple of things that I would add as general comments that I would like to see. The area that it overlooks is sort of a man made or excuse me, a human made wetland area that was put together. It used to be an old cow slew that cows used to walk through. And there's a couple of ponds down there but basically it's sort of been left to go to natural grasses and so on. If some of the continuations of those natural materials, I know that the city has used boulder walls rather than Keystoning say for the water tower and where the natural glacier boulders are used. Something like that might be helpful. Also the color on the roof wasn't a big mass of black. A comment was made, maybe a gray and maybe still asphalt but maybe kind of a fake shaking creates, breaks up the light so you don't have this big mass of long similar color going through it. But the rest of it, the brick, this is far nicer than anything I've seen in Minneapolis and we're talking 20 some stories there, many of them, and in your residential areas. So just because I say Minneapolis, it doesn't mean big city. We're.talking in South Minneapolis or even in the 40th Street areas you see these two bedroom ramblers going up and then you see a 23 story tower going up. I really think you've done a good job 27 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 here. On the parking lot area where the entrance is off of Kerber, is that going to be some sort of gravel roof or what? Mike Sepena: The top of the deck over the underground parking? Farmakes: Right. Mike Sepena: That would be, what we're thinking of is it would just be a concrete patterning, concrete color ... so it's more like. Farmakes: So it's not for use. Mike Sepena: People can walk up there. And that garage entrance is 50 feet set back from the property line. So any cars driving out of there are going to be visible from 50 feet before they get to the property line and then of course there's a little more distance between the property line and Kerber Boulevard. Farmakes: So you then would take the railing that you have going on on the back and place that then around that. I don't see that in the drawing here. Mike Sepena: Yeah, we didn't show a railing but there would be something around there because people will be up there. Farmakes: It would be nice if that were continued throughout the building. What you have going on in the back. The landscaping is nice. I think that the neighbors' concerns about the traffic, I'd defer to the City Engineer and Public Safety on that issue. I walk several times a day up and down this road. I know going through Saddlebrook and going through New Horizon that I cross several streets going up towards downtown so I know in this particular area there really isn't any streets for a better part of a block and a half. There is the two before you get to, well Byerly's also has a skip out there in the apartment buildings but I doubt whether that's going to be a higher or envisioned as a high traffic area at all. In fact there's, they want to have fewer parking spots than what the city requires in the parking lot, and this is based on car usage. For instance the staff report on car usage that's been in a like facility. They have reduced the unit structure by a pretty significant amount. Almost 10 %. I've talked enough on this so I'd like to hear what other people... Mancino: Dave, do you have any public safety issues with the driveway access onto Kerber? I mean are there things that we should look out for? I know in the initial drawings there was a, on the south side, a retaining wall. Will that still be there when we go in 50 feet instead of the 30? 28 I I Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 Hempel: It will be there proportionally but it will taper down to meeting the existing ground ...to the street. The trips generated from this type of development is far less than a rental unit or a townhome development... There's good sight visibility along Kerber Boulevard there. If ' there is a downfall, it's the northbound traffic... Kerber, is a down grading but it's not a very sever down grading. Less than 5 %... I don't foresee it being a problem from a traffic safety standpoint. Pedestrian traffic... Mancino: And there will be stop signs coming out or prior to this sidewalk? Hempel: That's true in any case. Mancino: And that is also the access for all trash pick -up and any sort of work that's going to be done to the building? Hempel: I'll have to defer that to the architect. Mancino: Sharmin? Al -Jaff: Would you kindly repeat the question? Mancino: Sure. Is the trash pick -up done underneath again on the ground level? Al -Jaff: Yes. The building will be provided with garbage chutes. Each level will have it's own and then the dumpsters will be inside. The garbage truck will go inside the building and pick it up. Mancino: And what about other maintenance crews that come to the building? Will they also have access to the lower level or will that be? Al -Jaff: For example? Mancino: Fixing heating or electric. Aanenson: I would think they would probably come in the front door and check in. Mancino: Okay. So they will use one of those 14 spaces. Carol Crow: Can I just ... with regards to the trash... Mancino: Ron, do you have any questions? al Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 Nutting: Jeffs comments I think fairly summarize my thoughts also. The height issue is the issue of substance that I'm hearing. You've got an average of 44 or 46 on the peak. We're at 42 on the other side. If this was not a PUD, it would be at a 40 foot height requirement. Where on a PUD you have the flexibility. I'm presuming that staff looked at that in terms of the development of this site. Evaluated it. Did you come up with any options that made sense? This is what makes sense in terms of that site to mitigate the height any more in terms of the architecture? Al -Jaff: We looked at grading the site and again, we're going to have a problem with the underground parking if we grade it... One of the options is to go with a flat roof and if you look at all of Chanhassen, you have some type of architectural element to the roof and that has been one of the requirements of each building that has come to Chanhassen. So other than that, no there wasn't. Nutting: Okay. I guess my thoughts on it, the difference for me is not substantial enough to, you know I wouldn't want to see a flat roof. I need to see the architectural break -up that we have and going from 40 to 44 or 46, given what we get here, which I think is, this is a nice looking project. The landscaping I guess is one issue I'm a little, looking at the maps and the renderings that we have. Did we not have a presentation just a little while back talking about the additional landscaping that was going to be incorporated into this site? Am I mixing two different? It wasn't today. Al -Jaff: I believe the additional landscaping was on the project to the west. Those were Oak Pond Addition. Nutting: Okay. I guess the only thing that I would add from the landscaping side is to the extent that staff can work with the applicant in terms of putting something in that's not 3 feet today and will take 30 years to mature but to do something to get more of an initial screening right off the bat but we're certainly not going to cover 40 feet of building but something to break up the building from the north side. I guess I don't have a problem with the driveway issue, as I listened to Dave's comments and what we have there. And the other issue, the other big issue for me is the transition issue and distance. Being a transition. It's different if you're on a level site and if you're looking up and distance seems to disappear but we do have the distance but then we also have what's allowed by ordinance and then we have the PUD and so I think it's unfortunate but I'm not convinced that I have enough information here to suggest that I can scrunch the building down to deal with the view from down below so. In general I'm in support of staffs recommendations. That's my comments. Mancino: Bob. 30 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 Skubic: Yes, I have several comments. I agree with what Jeff and Ron have said and I think the idea of changing the color scheme of the roof, that that perceived height would benefit. And also perhaps more landscaping on that back side might also act to create a perceived horizon which might also lower the building so I think it might be beneficial to put some trees in the back. Some taller trees. The Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan suggests transition zones between areas of high density and low density. As has been pointed out, there's not a real good transition zone here. The Comprehensive Plan also suggests that the City provide sufficient senior housing, and there appears to have been a great deal of effort put into looking for a site for senior housing and that some of those have already been lost and if we don't move forward with this, perhaps this will pass also. Mancino: Thank you. Mike. Meyer: Just maybe a question for staff. Dave. What would it do to the angle of the underground entrance if you lowered the building? How steep is it right now and how steep would it become? Hempel: This entrance is approximately about a 2% grade of the driveway. If you lower the ' unit ... might be increased another half a percent... That type of direction, east exposure, the type of conditions we have here, I don't recommend exceeding the 2 %. ' Meyer: Okay. So we're right about the limit that you recommend then. We could maybe drop it a couple. Okay. And then my other comments are the landscaping too. I'd like to see if we could maybe add something to help break it up a little bit more and get some ' coverage in the wintertime also. Other than that, it is a nice looking building. I would have liked to have seen the materials that are used for the siding. An example, and I understand ' you don't have those here tonight. It would have been nice to see that and it would also have been nice to see an elevation from the houses that are closest. I know the road takes a big dip but then comes back up elevation that you have the overlay on it. That's from a lot ' higher spot than I think than the neighbors that are closest to the building. I would have liked to have seen it from that angle but, I guess that's just a comment. Maybe something that the Council could have a chance to see before they make their decision. ' Mancino: Sharmin. ' Al -Jaffa The applicant did provide the materials at the neighborhood meeting and I believe it was an oversight on their part not to bring it today. The color was very similar to what you see at the fire station. The color of the brick. It's definitely a shade darker than what you see behind you. 1 31 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 Meyer: Did I miss anything with the different elevations? Was there one from Canyon Curve? From the low point of Canyon Curve at the closest point. Was there? Okay. Mancino: Ladd. Conrad: I think this is a great place for senior housing and I always knew we'd have some multiple units here that when you zone something R -12, you're going to get multi - floors. There's just no doubt so I think Planning Commission, at least I have always known there's going to be some height to anything that goes on this property. A couple questions, and some of it is hard for me to understand the underground parking visually. But I'd ask staff and Kate a question. Have we applied the same landscaping standards here? Have we asked them to do the same type of landscaping as we asked for the neighbors to the west? Aanenson: Yes. Conrad: Same? Because we kept piling on more trees and more trees. So what kind of standards have we. I don't think the renditions, the renderings, anything that I've been given today really speaks very well of a landscape plan that tries to deal with the height, to be very honest. What I've seen. Maybe that's not what's in print but what I've seen is, doesn't seem to effectively deal with the height. Aanenson: Well, that's the issue right there. Based on the grades, no matter what you do, because of the height, planting something now and to get it to grow, as the neighbors all attested to, it's going to be hard to get something to grow that fast. Conrad: And so our standard for a new planting would be a 6 foot tree in height? Al -Jaff: Unless you ask for. Conrad: Unless we ask for something more. Al -Jaff: Something more. Aanenson: And the other issue Ladd on that is what we looked at with the Oak Ponds, is that the neighbors didn't want a manicured lawn all the way down, as Sharmin indicated... We thought we'd put, recommend something like sumac. Something natural. Again going back to what Jeffs comment with the boulder wall. Try to keep it a more natural feeling. Again, to kind of increase the sense of separation between the two. 32 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 ' Conrad: And I buy that. But I also buy transition in height too. I don't buy a bush going to a 46 foot rise. ' Aanenson: No, no. That's what Sharmin indicated. There was additional trees in the back but what we're talking about is that other area that might be disturbed and go back and put some. Conrad: I like that. But again personally I don't, I'm just not convinced of the landscape plan on the north side, and maybe Nancy you can help me with that. You know more on our standards. And again when I'm applying our standards and precedence versus just, standards and precedence of what guide us here. The underground garage, I probably should have asked this earlier. Is there parking on top of that garage? There is no parking on top of the ' garage. Where, I'm just having a tough time relating to the underground and then what's. Carol Crow: This is the surface parking here. None of this is over the underground and this ' again relates to an issue. We have reviewed this with the Fire Marshal and this does meet his requirements. So this would be on ground. Conrad: Okay. So the pink is. Carol Crow: This is just the surface that we were discussing. This is the part, the surface ' parking here. Then the underground parking is this, there are no units on this side that are over parking. The units on this side, these are actually over the parking and then the parking ' comes out. Farmakes: And what is shaded? ' Conrad: So what's shaded? ' Farmakes: What's shaded brown there is the upper part. Carol Crow: This would be over, yeah. Over the parking area. ' Farmakes: Where they would walk and where the railing question appears. ' Conrad: So does that mean, so there's an elevation to that. Or is that flat? Is that the same elevation as the top parking? In other words where you can. I Mancino: That brown. ' 33 u Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 Conrad: The brown, is that the same elevation? Carol Crow: Yes. Conrad: It just so happens that there is underground parking below that but it is the same. Okay. My two issues, I think the setbacks, I probably could have compromised on the setbacks except, or at least one of them. Maybe not out to Kerber but I think the height is a bother to me. The height, we have a standard and you've got to rationalize and justify the standard if you want to change it. And the standard is 40 feet. It's a case where, you know here's a case where we do have a standard in place, and you can slip it if you find real good rationale. Now if this is project is going to go away, I'll slip that standard. In other words, if we won't get the senior center, I will slip that standard. But in this case, the 40 foot is our standard. It is on a hill. It is probably a good reason to maintain that standard. I don't know if I'm buying much by that 4 feet difference, or 6 feet. Whatever. That's my biggest problem right now. I really don't know what I'm buying, but I do know that I don't buy slipping this standard because of the situation that this is in. I feel real comfortable adhering to this zone standard. So again, I'm sort of in, I'm caught by maybe somebody who can be very persuasive or by staff or by the applicant that can say this project doesn't work any other way. Jeff, I think it is a nicely designed project and I think there's so many nice parts to it. It's just that, I really have a problem with slipping a standard that makes sense, especially where this project is. So my two problems are, I have a problem dropping that standard and I do not quite understand our landscaping to cover up the north side very well in terms of trying to solve a problem where we've spent a lot of time with previous applicants trying to screen a two story building and we probably haven't spent much time trying to screen a four story building. Mancino: Well two things that I'm hearing about size that I'm concerned with too, and a real easy solution for the City Council and the HRA to think about is buy a little more land. Conrad: Where? Mancino: Next to it. I mean that issue is gone. Al -Jaffa We don't have any additional land out there. Mancino: But from the very beginning to lower the height, you can buy more land to put it on, and that may be gone now but secondly, about the landscaping. I think because this is a PUD, that we may, the landscaping ordinance right now calls for 20% coniferous trees in this area and we could up that to 30 %. And instead of a 7 foot average height, we could go for a 9 foot average height. And for the deciduous overstory trees, instead of a 2 1/2 inch caliper 34 ' Planning ommission Meeting - April 19 1995 g g P , ' average, go to a 3 1/2 average caliper and therefore you will get bigger trees. Taller trees to begin with in proportion to the building. That would help. What happens with overflow parking Sharmin? We have 14 spaces for guests. What about holiday times when, whether ' it's Christmas, someone's birthday, family reunion, where can people park in this area? Can they park on Kerber? Can they park on Santa Vera? Where can extra people go to park? ' Al -Jaff: Dave. Hempel: Well on Kerber Boulevard we have limited parking I believe on north, I believe ' south side... One side I know has parking. Mancino: So either the east or the west side on Kerber? ' Hempel: Either north or south. Oh, I'm sorry. Santa Vera. Santa Vera... Mancino: So they could on the south side. And what about Kerber? Is there any parking on Kerber? ' Hempel: No, there's no parking on Kerber. Mancino: Do you feel that that will take care of the overflow parking? I mean because there's bound to be times when there are going to be more than 14 people. Al -Jaff: I believe that if it was a problem, they could also park underground. ' Mancino: Because some of the residents may not have cars. They could also park in the Byerly's. Aanenson: Ci ty Hall. ' Mancino: Or City Hall and come across if they want. I just wanted to make sure of that. ' Jane Kubitz: Can I say something about that Sharmin? Seniors are more apt to be going to their families rather than having their families... Mancino: Can you please come up and state your name. Jane Kubitz: My name's Jane Kubitz. I'm on the commission. I said seniors are more apt to t be going to their families than having their families come to them so there shouldn't be a parking problem. 35 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 1 Mancino: Well, I just know in my family that we have, as a family have gone to visit. Jane Kubitz: But you're not... 1 Mancino: No, but I certainly have grandmothers and mothers that are so I'm sure that will ' happen. Any other discussion? Do I have a motion? Any motions? We can made friendly amendments. Farmakes: I'll make a motion that the Planning Commission recommend approval for the , preliminary plat to replat 2.2 acres from Outlot B and Block 5, 6, and 7 of Oak Ponds 2nd Addition into Lot 1, Block 1, Oak Ponds 4th Addition, and Site Plan Review #95 -3 for a 70 ' unit senior housing building as shown on plans dated March 20, 1995, and subject to the following conditions. 1 through 14. I'd like to add 15. That the applicant work with city staff to come up with natural retaining wall materials and roof surface material to reduce the , mass of the roof line, i.e. lighter color.

Mancino: Oh on 16 I'll make a friendly mendment that staff work with the applicant to y PP revise a landscaping plan per my comments earlier about conifer trees. The average height being 9 feet and that deciduous trees being 3 1/2 inch caliper. ' Al -Jaff: Increase the canopy coverage to 30 %, you also mentioned. Mancino: What is it right now? Al -Jaff: 21. , Mancino: 21? Yeah, I'd like to see it to 30. Thank you. Farmakes: And 17. The railing on the, what are we going to call that? What is that surface. The raised surface.

The utilities including the storm drainage facilities for this townhome project were under construction at the time this property was purchased for the senior housing project. Therefore, the existing utilities will be utilized with minor adjustments to serve the senior housing project. The senior housing project is virtually identical to the townhome project in regards to impervious surface coverage of the site (approximately 0.95 acres). The storm water runoff characteristics and projections are therefore the same as the ' criginal townhome project which was approved for construction last year. A sediment basin is located to the northwest of the site which handles the stoma water outletting from the storm sewer on the west side of the property. Due to the steep terrain and development plans, this location presented the best opportunity for the sediment basin and storm water ponding_ ' The increased storm water runoff from the site for the 10 year and 100 year 24 hour rainfall events based upon Technical Release No. 55, Soil Conservation Service, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture is summarized below: 1) 10 Year, 24 Hour Rainfall Event, 4.20" Type B Soil ' Curve Number 69 (Existing Conditions) Curve Number 77 (Proposed Conditions) ' Additional Storm Water Runoff = 0.57" = 4,550 cubic feet I CENTRAL 91.00K B ALDINO 405 DIVISION STREET NOPTHFTRLD, MN 55057 -2019 ' FAX (507) 645.6037 (307) 645 -6044 Page two 2) 100 Year, 24 Hour Rainfall Event, 6.00" Type B Soil Curve Number 69 (Existing Conditions) Curve Number 77 (Proposed Conditions) Additional Storm Water Runoff = 0.77" = 6,150 cubic feet The senior housing project will utilize these existing storm drainage facilities including the sediment basin and storm water pond constructed last year.
