April 19, 1995 ' Updated May 2, 1995 Page 2 PROPOSAL /SUMMARY The applicant is proposing a 24,304 square foot office warehouse building on Lot 7, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition. The proposed structure is divided into two units, one for Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc., consisting of 16,795 square feet (5,585 square feet office and 11,210 square feet warehouse) and tenant space of 8,508 square feet. The proposed ' building is 18 feet in height. The main floor elevation is approximately three feet lower than Audubon Road to the east. The site slopes, generally, from southeast to northwest. The grade for the loading dock area is three feet lower than the main floor elevation. 1 i r r 0 The applicant has revised the architecture of the building since the originally submitted plans to improve the architectural details. The building is 18 feet tall and consists of concrete blocks: medium grey rockface concrete masonry units (CMU), sanabel white rockfaced or scored burnished CMU, and bands of midnight black face brick. Staff believes that this detail meets the requirements and intent of the city's site plan standards as well as the Chanhassen Business Center PUD. Staff is recommending that the entrances be revised to project out from the building in order to improve the entrance features and break up the monotony of the building expanse. The applicant has not provided details on the rooftop equipment details. The applicant, however, has discussed the use of a preapplied outside panel on the equipment that would act to blend the equipment into the building. At a minimum, the applicant would need to meet the conditions of the PUD. The applicant has prepared an extensive landscaping plan for the development. A minimum of 34 trees, 10 for the interior parking area and 24 for perimeter plantings are required for the site. The applicant does meet the requirements for landscape area. Six trees have been provided in the parking area. However, according to calculations, a minimum of 10 overstory trees are to be planted in or along the parking area. Staff is recommending an additional landscape peninsula in the northern parking lot area. Locations are to be shown on the landscape plan. Overstory trees chosen by the applicant are to be from the City's Approved Tree List with a Parking Location designation. Perimeter plantings meet calculation requirements, but additional screening will be required in the northeast section of the site to reduce visibility of the loading area from Audubon Road. The proposed development is consistent with the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, the design guidelines established as part of the Chanhassen Business Center PUD, and the site plan review requirements. The site has few existing natural amenities due to previous development in the area. The site design is compatible and harmonious with the approved buildings in industrial developments throughout the city. Staff is recommending approval of the site plan subject to the conditions contained in this staff report. 0 Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. April 19, 1995 Updated May 2, 1995 Page 3 BACKGROUND On January 13, 1992, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for the Chanhassen Business Center as shown on the attached site plan. The PUD was amended in February 1993 to allow for a church as a permitted use. The Chanhassen Business Center is an industrial/office park on 93.7 acres. The original plat consisted of 12 lots and 2 outlots. The ultimate development for this proposal was to have a total of 700,000 square feet of building area with a mix of 20% office, 25% industrial and 55% warehouse. The first phase of final plat approval included two lots. The National Weather Service (NWS) was built on Lot 1, Block 2 and the Jehovah Witness Church was built on Lot 1, Block 1. One of the original conditions of the PUD was that the perimeter landscaping was to be installed as well as the trail. Due to the extensive costs of grading and utility extension, the developers sought relief from this requirement. When the first two uses were approved, the perimeter landscaping was required for these two uses only. The Jehovah Witness has completed their perimeter landscaping. The NWS building has posted surety for the completion of perimeter landscaping this spring. Staff will be adding a condition on the 2nd Addition plat that all required perimeter landscaping be completed with this phase. This landscaping will be consistent with the approved landscaping plan for the original PUD. GENERAL SITE PLAN /ARCHITECTURE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The development standards will remain the same as previously approved with the PUD. a. Intent The purpose of this zone is to create a PUD light industrial/office park. The use of the PUD zone is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive proposal. All utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for development shall proceed through site plan review based on the development standards outlined below. b. Permitted Uses The permitted uses in this zone should be limited to light industrial, warehousing, and office as defined below. The uses shall be limited to those as defined herein. If there is a question as to the whether or not a use meets the definition, the City Council shall make that n fl 7 C 0 I ' Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. April 19, 1995 Updated May 2, 1995 Page 4 ' interpretation. 1. Light Industrial The manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling, packaging, ' or testing of goods or equipment or research activities entirely within an enclosed structure, with no outside storage. There shall be negligible impact upon the surrounding environment by noise, vibration, smoke, dust or pollutants. ' 2. Warehousing Means the commercial storage of merchandise and personal property. ' 3. Office Professional and business office, non - retail activity. FINDING: The proposed uses are consistent with the parameters established as part of the ' PUD. c. Setbacks r L 0 In the PUD standards, there is the requirement for landscape buffering in addition to building and parking setbacks. The landscape buffer on Audubon Road is 50 feet, south of Lake Drive and 100 feet along the southern property line. The PUD zone requires a building to be setback 50 feet from the required landscape buffer and public right -of -ways. There is no minimum requirement for setbacks on interior lot lines. The following setbacks shall apply from the right -of -way: Building Parking Required (Lake Drive West 25' 15' Required (interior road system) 25 15' Provided (Lake Drive) 85 15' Provided (Street A) to west 56.5' 18' Provided (Street B) to north 72' 15' FINDING: The proposed development meets or exceeds the minimum setbacks established as part of the PUD.

' FINDING: The applicant has revised the architecture of the building since the originally submitted plans to improve the architectural details. The building is 18 feet tall and consists ' of concrete blocks: medium grey rockface concrete masonry units (CMU), sanabel white rockfaced or scored burnished CMU, and bands of midnight black face brick. Staff believes that this detail meets the requirements and intent of the city's site plan as well as the ' Chanhassen Business Center PUD. Staff is recommending that the entrances be revised to project out from the building in order to improve the entrance features and break up the monotony of the building expanse. The applicant has not provided details on the rooftop � I 0 Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. April 19, 1995 Updated May 2, 1995 Page 7 equipment details. The applicant, however, has discussed the use of a preapplied outside panel on the equipment that would act to blend the equipment into the building. At a minimum, the applicant would need to meet the conditions of the PUD. L Site Landscaping and Screening 1. All buffer landscaping, including boulevard landscaping, included in Phase I area to be installed when the grading of the phase is completed. This may well result in landscaping being required ahead of individual site plan approvals but we believe the buffer yard and plantings, in particular, need to be established immediately. In addition, to adhere to the higher quality of development as spelled out in the PUD zone, all loading areas shall be screened. Each lot for development shall submit a separate landscaping plan as a part of the site plan review process. 2. All open spaces and non - parking lot surfaces shall be landscaped, rockscaped, or covered with plantings and/or lawn material. 3. Storage of material outdoors is prohibited unless it has been approved under site plan review. All approved outdoor storage must be screened with masonry fences and /or landscaping. 3. The master landscape plan for the CBC PUD shall be the design guide for all of the specific site landscape developments. Each lot must present a landscape plan for approval with the site plan review process. 4. Undulating or angular berms 3' to 4' in height, south of Lake Drive along Audubon Road shall be sodded or seeded at the conclusion of Phase I grading and utility construction. The required buffer landscaping may be installed incrementally, but it shall be required where it is deemed necessary to screen any proposed development. All required boulevard landscaping shall be sodded. 5. Loading areas shall be screened from public right -of -ways. Wing walls may be required where deemed appropriate. FINDING: The applicant has prepared an extensive landscaping plan for the development. A minimum of 34 trees, 10 for the interior parking area and 24 for perimeter plantings are required for the site. The applicant does meet the requirements for landscape area. Six trees have been provided in the parking area. However according to calculations, a minimum of 10 overstory trees are to be planted in or along the parking area. Staff is recommending an additional landscape peninsula in the northern parking lot area. Locations are to be shown by the City on the landscape plan. Overstory trees chosen by the applicant are to be from the 0 1 0 C I I I I Ll 0 ' Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc.

Perimeter plantings meet calculation requirements, but additional screening will be required in the northeast section of the site to reduce visibility of loading area from Audubon Road. ' g. Signage 1. All freestanding signs be limited to monument signs. The sign shall not exceed eighty (80) square feet in sign display area nor be greater than eight (8) feet in height. The sign treatment is an element of the architecture and thus should reflect with the quality of the development. The signs should be consistent in color, size, and material throughout the development. The applicant should submit a sign package for staff review. ' 2. Each property shall be allowed one monument sign located near the driveway into the private site. All signs require a separate permit. ' 3. The signage will have consistency throughout the development. A common theme will be introduced at the development's entrance monument and will be used ' throughout. 4. Consistency in signage shall relate to color, size, materials, and heights. ' FINDING: The applicant has provided a monument sin detail which shows a six foot high PP P g g ' by eight foot wide sign which will use the same materials as the business. The sign complies with the requirements of the PUD. However, the site plan must be revised to maintain a 10 foot setback from the property line for the monument sign. The applicant is showing a schematic of the wall sign. It appears to comply with code requirements. Additional details will be required at the time of permitting for the sign. ' h. Lighting 1. Lighting for the interior of the business center should be consistent throughout the ' development. 2. A decorative, shoe box fixture (high pressure sodium vapor lamps) with a'square ' ornamental pole shall be used throughout the development area for area lighting. 3 Lighting equipment similar to what is mounted in the public street right -of -ways shall ' be used in the private areas. Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. April 19, 1995 Updated May 2, 1995 Page 9 0 4. All light fixtures shall be shielded. Light level for site lighting shall be no more than I 1/2 foot candle at the property line. This does not apply to street lighting. FINDING: The applicant has not provided lighting details or calculations for this development. However, city ordinance and the PUD standards provide sufficient control to assure compliance to an established standard. ACCESS The preliminary plat of Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition recently received final plat approval. This site is being developed in conjunction with the overall plat improvements. Access to this site is from proposed Commerce Drive ( "A" Street) and Lake Drive West. Lake Drive West is currently built adjacent the parcel. All driveway curb cuts shall be constructed in accordance with the City's Industrial Driveway Detail Plate No. 5207 (Attachment 1). The pavement sections proposed in the parking and loading dock areas are to be based on a soils engineer's recommendations. GRADING & DRAINAGE This site is proposed to be rough graded in conjunction with the other public improvements by the developer as part of Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition. Only minor site grading is anticipated for the parking lots. The drainage plan is in accordance with the overall master storm water drainage plan to be approved with the Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition construction plans. The storm water will be conveyed via a storm sewer drainage system at the regional pretreatment pond located within the development. Staff will require that the applicant's engineer supply the City with storm drainage calculations for a 10- year storm event to verify pipe capacities and catch basin locations on the site. UTILITIES In conjunction with the platting of Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition, utility improvements will be extended along Commerce Drive ( "A" Street) to service the site. EROSION CONTROL The grading plan indicates erosion control measures being incorporated around the perimeter of the site. Staff also recommends that a rock construction entrance be utilized at all access 1 L 1 i 0 1 J 1 Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. April 19, 1995 Updated May 2, 1995 Page 10 points to the site. In addition, catch basins should be protected with silt fence and /or hay bales prior to paving the parking lots. MISCELLANEOUS The applicant should be aware that no construction activities may commence on the site until the final plat has been recorded and the development contract executed by the developer of Chanhassen Business Center. Interim access to the site may be from existing Lake Drive West. The driveway must meet the City Fire Marshal's recommendation for ingress and egress at all times. LANDSCAPING The applicant has submitted a landscape plan for the Paulstarr Building. Based on staff calculations of vehicular use area, the applicant is required to provide 2,434.9 square feet of parking lot landscape area. A minimum of 34 trees, 10 for the interior parking area and 24 for perimeter plantings are required for the site. ' The applicant does meet the requirements for landscape area. Six trees have been provided in the parking area. However according to calculations, a minimum of 10 overstory trees are to be planted in or along the parking area. Staff is recommending an additional landscape ' peninsula in the northern parking lot area. Locations are to be shown by the City on the landscape plan. Overstory trees chosen by the applicant are to be from the City's Approved Tree List with a Parking Location designation. Perimeter plantings meet calculation ' requirements, but additional screening will be required in the northeast section of the site to reduce visibility of loading area from Audubon Road. 7 Plant material quantities on the Landscape Schedule and the Landscape Plan differ significantly. Applicant must provide City with revised schedule that correctly reflects quantities on Landscape Plan. The applicant shall provide aeration/irrigation tubing in each peninsular or island type landscape area containing a tree that is less than 10 feet in width. The applicant shall install automatic irrigation in all site landscape areas. A financial security (letter of credit or cash escrow) is required in the amount of $17,700.00 to guarantee landscaping for the project. LIGHTING /SIGNAGE The applicant has not provided lighting details or calculations for this development. However, city ordinance and the PUD standards provide sufficient control to assure compliance to an established standard. 1 Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. April 19, 1995 Updated May 2, 1995 Page 11 The applicant has provided a monument sign detail which shows an six foot high by eight foot wide sign which will use the same materials as the business. The sign complies with the requirements of the PUD. However, the site plan must be revised to maintain a 10 foot setback from the property line for the monument sign. The applicant is shown a schematic of the wall sign. It appears to comply with the PUD and code requirements. Additional details will be required at the time of permitting for the sign. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: (1) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides, including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may be adopted; (2) Consistency with this division; (3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing or developing areas; (4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the development; 1 f 1 L 0 C (5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, , with special attention to the following: a. An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general community; b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; C. Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and neighboring structures and uses; and C ' Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. April 19, 1995 ' Updated May 2, 1995 Page 12 ' d. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior ' circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking. ' (6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations ' which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. Finding: The proposed development is consistent with the comprehensive plan, the ' zoning ordinance, the design guidelines established as part of the Chanhassen Business Center PUD, and the site plan review requirements. The site has few existing natural amenities due to previous development in the area. The site design is compatible and ' harmonious with the approved buildings in industrial developments throughout the city. PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE The Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 17, 1995 to review the proposed site plan. The Planning Commission voted 6 for and 0 against recommending that City Council approve the site plan with modification to staff's condition 7. and the addition of condition 20. ' Condition number 20 is in regards to additional architectural detailing for the entrance features at both the owner's and the future tenant's entrances. The applicant had responded to ' staff's condition number 16, which relates to the new condition 20 by projecting the entry feature approximately four inches out from the building using the midnight black brickface material. Staff felt that this treatment adequately addressed our concerns about providing an ' entryway treatment for the structure. This entryway treatment, with the use of a recessed entry further refined by placing the midnight black brick as vertical and horizontal banding ' elements, is consistent with surrounding development and similar to the entry treatment recently approved for the Power Systems building, directly north of this site, that incorporated a recessed entry with a grey stucco archway treatment. However, the Planning Commission felt that a more "sophisticated" entrance treatment consistent with surrounding development be provided. ' The applicant's architect, Frederick Richter, has responded to the Planning Commission's concern in his letter dated May 1, 1995. He felt that the simplicity of the design, the modem/contemporary exterior, the use of sharply contrasting colors (white, black, and grey) Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. April 19, 1995 Updated May 2, 1995 Page 13 and vertical and horizontal lines, and the proposed entry treatments provide a distinctive architectural image and maintains building integrity. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following motion: "The City Council approves Site Plan 95 -6 shown on plans prepared by AKRW dated 3/20/95 and Schoell & Madsen, Inc. dated 3/20/95 for a 25,304 square foot office /warehouse building on Lot 7, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition, subject to the following conditions: 1.

MEMBERS PRESENT: Ron Nutting, Ladd Conrad, Nancy Mancino, Mike Meyer, Bob Skubic, and Jeff Farmakes STAFF PRESENT: Kate Aanenson, Planning Director; Sharmin Al -Jaff, Planner II; Bob Generous, Planner II; and Dave Hempel, Asst. City Engineer PUBLIC HEARING: SITE PLAN REVIEW OF A 25,304 SQUARE FOOT OFFICEIWAREHOUSE FACILITY ON 2.16 ACRE LOT, PROPERTY ZONED PUD, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRIAL AND LOCATED ON LOT 7, BLOCK 1, CHANHASSEN BUSINESS CENTER 2ND ADDITION, PAULSTARR ENTERPRISES INC., STEIN ER DEVELOPMENT, INC. Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item. Mancino: Do any commissioners have any questions of staff? Bob, I just have one. Does the entryway, is this for the tenants entryway also? Generous: Yes, it would be both entryways. Mancino: Thank you. Does the applicant or their designee wish to address the Planning Commission? David Kordonowy: I'm David Kordonowy from Steiner Development. I'm representing Paulstarr tonight. We looked at the staff report and we think it has reasonable comments and we concur with it and we'll comply with the recommendations. I really don't have anything else ... thank you. Mancino: Thank you. May I have a motion to open the public hearing? Nutting moved, Conrad seconded to open the public hearing. All voted in favor and the motion carried. The public hearing was opened. Mancino: We're open for public hearing. If you would like to come up to the podium and state your name and address and any comments. Hearing none, may I have a motion to close the public hearing? 1 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 Nutting moved, Conrad seconded to close the public healing. All voted in favor and the motion carried. The public healing was closed. Mancino: Comments from the commissioners. Mr. Nutting. Nutting: I don't really have any comments. It looks like staff and the developer have come up with a good development. I appreciate the ability to work through some of the architectural details and to come up with something that was an enhancement from the start so I have no further comments. Mancino: Thank you. Jeff. Farmakes: The report eludes to treating the entrances differently. Can you elaborate on that at all? Generous: To the entrance? Farmakes: This extension that comes out here. Generous: Yes. Farmakes: Do you feel that those reflect the guidelines that we talked about as far as design? I realize this is a warehouse building but we've seen these in here before. I'm wondering if something along the lines that was done with those. Kate, you remember the storage building - that I'm talking about that's very typical to this that they redid the front. I think Sharmin maybe worked on it. I believe it's also over in the Lake Susan industrial area. Aanenson: I'm sorry, I don't remember. Farmakes: It's basically a rectangle and we dealt with the entrances. I believe we modified them. It was a small amount but at least it did more than just create a box. Aanenson: Right. Those would be the most similar examples that we have would be on Park Drive. Mail Source and then another one next door to that. It's rectangular in size and they did a little bit different material. Tried to vary the material and also added architectural relief by using, as Bob had them do, requested that they do some sort of entrance feature to try to break up that long line. That's what we were trying to... Farmakes: Which was just adding another brick? 2 I Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 David Kordonowy: What you might not be able to quite follow, there is a relief to the ' entryway. Actually the relief is in about 3 feet so we highlight the entryway with a little bit of brick but also the entryway is set into the building so if you're pushing the building to have a real positive image, of how people will be coming into the building. It's a pretty stark entryway because we're using the colors of gray, almost black and white so it will really stand out and break up, it's really a pretty short building but it will break up the length. Farmakes: We've talked about these buildings before. We've talked about them on the task force on the Highway 5 issue. This is a little different animal. It's inside the industrial park. You have a storage building obviously, and I can't see a developer wanting to put much money in a building. If we look at, on Highway 41, the Mammoth building. I believe that's in Chaska I believe. I was driving by there the other day, I have a 15 year old son and he'd be the last person I'd expect to hear the comment that he made. As we drove by he said gee dad, what an ugly building. And I got to think, yeah, it's a box. And so much I guess of visual relief could be added just by adding something. Depth or extending the front out I believe is what they did on the other building. We still just have a box. It seems that the entrance feature that we're talking about or that we talk about in these guidelines is extending it out, raising it up or creating something, some visual relief. It's not an extensive use. Most buildings you can use just, what was used in Target. Something to break up the box. Two courses of black brick I'm not sure what it's called but. As far as the landscaping goes, I think it's fine. The recommendations that you've made. I have no further comments. Mancino: Bob, would you like to show the materials. Generous: Yes, sorry. The applicant did provide building materials. This is the black brick material that runs, or the accent color that they'll be using. The top part of the building is in the Sanibel rock face and then the lower part of the building would be in this medium gray color. And then I believe on the side and the rear, the predominant color then changes to the gray. That's the window area on the east and west elevations. David Kordonowy: ...colors will be used for ... on both sides and then the main part of the side and back building... Mancino: Thank you. Mike, do you have any comments? Questions? Meyer: No. Mancino: Bob? 3 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 Skubic: Ah yes I do ... street designated on the site plan, eventually will be the front of another office... loading dock area here... Generous: I don't know if there will ever be sufficient coverage to block all of it. I suppose they could be in halves. We are recommending that they provide an additional 4 trees. Two overstory and two evergreens. Unless you want to make a wall out there, or do some berming in there, I suppose that would help to help screen that area also. Skubic: Being that there's streets on two sides, one side has to be the back of the building. Generous: Right. And the east side is really the most important elevation than the south one. The east because that's the view from Audubon, and the south because that is their entryway. Skubic: Thank you. Mancino: Ladd. Conrad: One for staff. One for the applicant. Staff, in your recommendations number 10. It says each property shall be allowed one monument sign. Now is that for the PUD in total? Generous: Yes. Conrad: But this property is one lot. Generous: Gets one monument. Correct. It's one per the site. Conrad: This property gets one. And for the applicant, well and for staff. Roof mounted equipment. Screened by walls. Point number 17 in the staff report. We're not looking at it. I don't know what it is. I don't really know what our standards are so what we do we expect the applicant to bring back? Do we have a standard for screening? Generous: Not specifically. They can use metal sided materials. The applicant had been discussing the use of ordering right from the manufacturer a panel that's applied right to the equipment itself. That would be less metallic and I wonder if Dave could provide a little more detail on that. I know the architect was discussing it with me and it was a material that would blend in with the building, but be attached right to the equipment. Mancino: It has a roof surface? Generous: Yeah. 4 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 David Kordonowy: It's a metallic. It's a standing seam metal that would have pre - coloring. They would have some color matched to the existing building. We haven't explored it fully because we're not sure, we haven't designed the office layout so we're not sure if in fact we're putting in one unit... We really haven't gotten to that detail but we have heard that there's a nice pre - finished. We don't know if the project can support it. If it can, great. If not, we'll go back to a metal type fence curved into the roof which we've used in other applications before. But it certainly won't be a wood fence. I think that's precluded from this ... so it will be a pre - finished metal. Either on the unit itself or a fence. Conrad: So our report says all roof mounted equipment shall be screened by walls of compatible appearing material. Okay. Mancino: Actually the color will be compatible. Conrad: Yeah. I'm okay with that. Jeff, your comment on, you're not satisfied with the staff report? In terms of their recommendations to break up the front of the building. Farmakes: No, I think it should be done. Mancino: You want it to go further? Farmakes: Or relief around the door. Conrad: And you'd want some treatment to the entrance itself? Farmakes: I think, I can't remember the name of the, it was storage unit also in a very similar location. I can't remember the name of it. It was a while back but it was the same issue. They built out the entrance a little bit, moved it back or something and it enhanced the building. I mean it wasn't a major expense but it gave it some relief. Conrad: Okay, no more comments. Mancino: My comments are with Bob's. I would like to see the landscaping that is at the northern side of the property where it abuts B street and becomes the front view for Lot 4. Just to be bermed. To include some berming here for screening and I would like to see some of the deciduous vegetation replaced with coniferous so there can be some year round screening. And I think that I'd also like to change any of the recommendations when we do talk about screening, to include the adjective year round. I also agree with Jeff on the entrances. The two entrances. I looked at the other two buildings that are up in that area, the church and the National Weather Service, and I think that the quality of their architecture 5 Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 kind of sets the standard in this area and I think that they do have a little, what do I want to say, more sophisticated architecture in their entrances so I'd like to see some adjustments. That's it. Do I have a motion? Do we have any further discussions before we entertain a motion? Any other comments? Nutting: What are we, from the discussions regarding the entryway and treatment, are we looking to direct staff? Are we looking to have staff provide some recommendations or. Mancino: We can certainly ask to see it again with staff and the applicant reviewing and I . think giving them a little clearer direction with the entrances. Or we can go ahead and make a recommendation that they are to, with staffs approval, go ahead and work on the entrances. David Kordonowy: Up to this time we have brought all the preliminary views to staff. They've given us direction as to how the city wants the site to be designed and built out. We've accommodated just about every comment that they've had. Just in the last couple of days they brought up the point that they wanted to maybe see a little bit better definition of the entryway. We came up with an idea. If there's any way that we could proceed with this process and give us the flexibility working with staff, we don't see any problem with working with the staff. I think we've had good cooperation to this point so if we can continue to move the process along, we'd appreciate it. ...design in some additional features. I don't know what they are yet but we'll try to work with you on that. But I just don't want to have this thing move to another month and then lose the ability to start construction in early May. Mancino: Thank you. We appreciate your comments and the public hearing is closed so we will go ahead with our comments now. Thank you. Do I have a motion? Nutting: I'll make a motion that the Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve Site Plan #95 -6 on plans prepared by AKRW dated 3/20/95 and Schoell & Madsen, Inc. on plans dated 3/20/95 for a 25,304 square foot office /warehouse building on Lot 7, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition, subject to the following, or subject to the conditions outlined in the staff report and with the following modifications. All references to, and help me out Nancy in terms of the landscaping to include the words year round. Added to those references. To add condition number 20. Recommending that staff work with the applicant to provide some berming on the north face to provide additional screening back there for the loading dock area. And I think that's it. Mancino: Can I make a friendly amendment to that? Nutting: Sure. 31 F� Planning Commission Meeting - April 19, 1995 Mancino: And just, instead of doing number 20, add to number 7. Just add onto that, the ' landscaping plan for the northern strip of property that is adjacent to Street B shall be revised to include berming and additional coniferous vegetation. Nutting: Okay. And I guess I would add one additional recommendation. I would accept Nancy's revisions and then recommendation 20 that staff and the applicant work together on the treatment for the entrance to provide, if you will break up to the detail consistent with the t surrounding development. Conrad: I'd second that. ' Nutting moved, Conrad seconded that the Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve Site Plan #95 -6 on plans prepared by AlKRW dated 3/20/95 and Schoell & Madsen, ' Inc. on plans dated 3/20/95 for a 25,304 square foot office /warehouse building on Lot 7, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition, subject to the following conditions: ' 1.

Box 147 Chanhassen, Minnesota 55317 Dear Bob, ' As a follow up to our recent meeting, please find enclosed a color perspective sketch and updated south elevation drawing of the office /warehouse project for Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. We have reviewed the exterior entry options ranging form projecting brick forms to metal canopy ' configurations and feel the design simplicity of the recessed entry to be the most valid architectural solution. The relatively small building at 25,304 s.f and the moderr/contemporary exterior that is fenestrated with a brick banding establishes a recessed entry as a means of articulating the building entry points. These entrances are further refined by placing the dark brick as vertical and horizontal banding elements around the entrances. Further reinforcement of the entry is the placement of the building's signage directly over the entrance. This signage solution is reinforced as part of the brick banding that frames the Paulstar ' logo. The signage placement over the entrance would be de- emphasized by a canopy or more massive projection of an entrance form. We feel your comments of April 19, further refining and defining the entrance, were justified and that ' the solution that has subsequently been developed provides the proper architectural image and integrity while meeting the owner's requirements of a cost effective contemporary looking building. Please contact me if you have further questions regarding this matter. Sincerely, I ANKENY, KELL R ICHTER, WALSH ARCHITECTS, P.A. Frederick C. Richter, AIA 1 1
