PROPOSAL/SUMMARY '
(Note: additions to this report since the 9/26/94 City Council hearing are in bold and
underlined.) '
There are four actions being considered with this proposal; two subdivisions and site plan
approvals for a Perkins Restaurant and a Taco Bell Restaurant. '
The City will be platting Chanhassen Retail 2nd Addition. This subdivision is the replat of
Chanhassen Retail Addition Outlot B. Outlot B was created with the "Target" plat for future '
development. The city will be creating two oudots with the Chanhassen Retail 2nd
Addition. Outlot A will be retained by the City for landscaping and gateway features. Outlot
B will be sold to Ryan Companies. '
Ryan Companies are proposing to plat Outlot B, as part of Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition,
into 3 lots for a Perkins, Taco Bell, and future restaurant. The Perkins on Lot 1, Block 1 is r
1.37 acres and includes a 5,000 square foot building with 85 parking stalls and Taco Bell on
Lot 3, Block 1 is 0.84 and includes a 1,800 square foot building with 34 parking stalls. Both '
sites are in for site plan review concurrently with the subdivision review.
The design of the Taco Bell is proposed to be double Roman concrete roof tiles. The color '
will be terra cotta. The building will be stucco, manor white and sandalwood beige trim.
The roof is a mansard style. It is pitched but flat on top. The height of the building is
approximately 17 feet. The pitched roof element is 5 feet. '
The design of Perkins is stucco with a ceramic tile accent band. Columns are spaced 15
apart. The building is 17' 8" high with a 4 foot high standing seam side pitched roof '
element.
Both designs are consistent with the Highway 5 overlay district and the standards of the PUD. '
The City Council requested that this item be tabled and brought back so that the
applicant could provide building material samples and change the color tones for Taco '
Bell.
Staff is recommending preliminary and final plat approval for Chanhassen Retail Second '
Addition, preliminary and final plat approval for Chanhassen Retail Third Addition, and site
plan approval for Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition (Perkins) and Lot 3, Block
1, Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition, subject to the conditions contained in this staff report. '

' BACKGROUND
At the time of conceptual review for the Target PUD, Ryan Construction had proposed 3
alternatives for Outlot B. Version lA of Outlot B included 4 buildings and 26,000 square
feet. Outlot Version 1B included 5 buildings and 29,100 square feet of building. Outlot B
Version 1C includes 6 buildings and 25,000 square feet. Numerous negotiations were held
' between Ryan Companies and the city to review how Outlot B should be developed. The city
always intended to have some form of gateway on the property. In addition the impervious
' surface requirement was exceeded on the Target site and this would have to be balanced on
the remaining portion of outlot. The city has decided to retain a larger portion of Outlot B
and sell that portion that can be platted into three lots. Staff is pleased with the results
considering where development of this parcel started. At one time there was under
consideration six building sites on Outlot B. The three lots being proposed allows the city to
landscape the perimeter of the development, lessen the intensity of development and meet the
impervious surface requirements.
The HRA has had Hoisington Koegler Group working to develop gateway treatments for three
entrances areas in the city. The city council is currently reviewing some cost and
maintenance considerations. When developed these plans will be reviewed by the Planning
Commission.
Since the approval of the PUD for Chanhassen Retail Center, the city has adopted the
Highway 5 Overlay District. The standards of the overlay district include:
1. Parking and building orientation:
The building setback needs to be 50 feet from Highway 5. Both sites meet this
' standard. The parking setback needs to be consistent with the overlay district which is
a minimum of 20 feet. The site parking meets this requirement.
2. The architectural design is consistent with the overlay standards. Both buildings are
stucco. The Taco Bell has a Roman barrel (tile) roof. The Perkins has a mansard
style roof and standing seam siding. Staff's original concerns with roof top screening
from the high point on Hwy. 5 to the roof of Perkins and from West 78th to the roof
of Taco Bell have been allayed based on the cross section review provided.
' The materials and details of the buildings are consistent with the Hwy. 5 standards.
The Taco Bell is proposed to be manor white with sandlewood beige accents. The
of the -Def4das Wildiag is ufdmewn. The applicant has proposed a -yellow,
areen, and red accent awning approximately 1% feet in width that runs along the
entire building iust below the roofline. The City Council directed at the 9/26/94

hearing that the applicant tone down these colors with neutral earthen tone '
colors. Additionally, the Council requested that the applicant look at the
architectural detail of the building to determine if a unique design could be
prepared for the Chanhassen Retail Center site. The Perkins building consists of '

with the applicant's architect. The architect has stated that he will provide

completely, by deleting the awning, and the building's primary color would be
used.
3. Landscaping around the perimeter will be done by the city including the gateway. The ,
interior landscaping needs to be revised per staff recommendations.
SUBDIVISION '
Chanhassen Retail 2nd Addition I
The City will be platting Chanhassen Retail 2nd Addition. This subdivision is the replat of
Outlot B, Chanhassen Retail Addition. Outlot B was created with the "Target" plat for future
development. The city will be creating two outlots with the Chanhassen Retail 2nd
Addition. Outlot A will be retained by the City for landscaping and gateway features. Outlot
B will be sold to Ryan Companies. The platting of Outlot B establishes the development '
parameters for the site.
Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition ,
Ryan Companies is proposing to plat Outlot B, Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition, into 3 lots
for a Perkins, Taco Bell, and future restaurant. The Perkins on Lot 1, Block 1 is 1.37 acres '
and includes a 5,000 square foot building with 85 parking stalls and Taco Bell on Lot 3,
Block 1 is 0.84 acres and includes a 1,800 square foot building with 34 parking stalls. Both
sites are in for site plan review concurrently with the subdivision review. The HRA is also '
considering a gateway treatment on a portion of Outlot A, Chanhassen Retail Second
Addition. '

GRADING/DRAINAGE
The grading plan dated September 6, 1994 indicates that the entire parcel is proposed to be
' graded. However, there is no information provided as to whether there will be excess
material hauled off the site and/or borrow material brought in if soil correction is needed. If
there is excess material to leave the site, the developer shall indicate the quantity as such and
' define an appropriate haul route for approval. The plans do indicate locations for erosion
control. A gravel construction entrance shall also be required at the site entrance. Site access
shall be limited to Target Lane. A watershed permit will be required prior to commencing
' any site grading.
' In terms of drainage design for the entire site, it appears that the drainage areas have changed
to conform with the approved Target site plan. The original Target site plan indicated that
the southerly half of Outlot B would drain via storm sewer to the Target pond while the
' northerly half of the site would drain northeasterly, eventually discharging into the new pond
in the northwest quadrant of Trunk Highway 5 and County Road 17 (Powers Boulevard).
The existing storm sewer systems for the Target pond and the West 78th Street pond have
been sized consistent with the originally approved drainage plan for the Target site. The
developers shall provide drainage calculations and a drainage sub -area district map verifying
flow quantities and proper pipe capacities for the proposed internal storm sewer system which
will discharge into the existing Target site and West 78th Street systems. All storm sewer
within the site is considered private and shall be maintained as such. A low point is proposed
on Lot 2, Block 1 without storm drainage. The grades should be adjusted so it sheet drains
' off the site.
With respect to the specific drainage from Taco Bell site, the parking lot grade has been
' reconfigured to drain to the easterly lead of the two storm sewer leads provided to this site
from West 78th Street. The westerly storm sewer lead provided is intended to serve the
future restaurant site west of the proposed Taco Bell as shown.
' The Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) would not apply with this plat since the
Target site and the West 78th Street roadway improvements have provided the necessary
' downstream storm water treatment facilities. These parcels are being assessed for the West
78th Street improvements.
UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer and water is available to this overall development via existing public facilities.
All proposed internal sewer and water service facilities associated with this development are
considered private and shall be maintained as such. The developer shall denote on the utility
I

plans which lines are private and which lines are public. The developer shall be responsible '
for all costs associated with protecting all existing public facilities including, but not limited
to city sanitary sewer, water, phone cable and gas within the site as the proposed '
improvements are constructed. The developer should provide the city with a financial escrow
of $5,000 to guarantee boulevard restoration and protection of the city's infrastructures. The
financial guarantee shall be in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow which would be ,
released upon satisfactory completing site restoration.
EASEMENTS I
The old West 78th Street right -of -way alignment runs through the northerly portion of this ,
overall site. This right -of -way should be vacated in conjunction with this proposed
development. However, in conjunction with this right -of -way vacation, utility easements will
need to be obtained and/or maintained over the existing public utilities running through the ,
site as follows:
A 30 -foot drainage and utility easement centered on the existing sanitary sewer I
alignment through the site.
The existing drainage and utility easement obtained with the underlying plat of the ,
West Village Heights 2nd Addition shall be maintained in existence.
An additional 20 -foot wide drainage and utility easement shall be granted along the '
south line of the previously described West Village Heights 2nd Addition drainage and
utility easement.
From review of the site lan dated September 6, 1994, it is apparent that the proposed Taco '
P P PP P P
Bell building would encroach upon the proposed 20 foot drainage and utility easement and '
the northwest building corner would be approximately five feet from an existing phone cable.
If this is approved by the phone company, an encroachment agreement for this condition will
need to be executed. '
STREETS /ACCESS
This property is bordered by 3 major collectors; State Hwy. 5, County Road 17 (Powers '
Boulevard), and West 78th Street. West 78th Street has been realigned to the north as it
approaches Powers Boulevard. All access to the site will be gained off of Target Lane. The '
site plan has been reconfigured to meet staff's recommendation to align with the existing curb

I cut. The common driveway aisles are proposed to be 25' feet wide. Staff recommends they
be increased to 26' feet face to face.
' Strgar, Roscoe, Fausch has looked at the traffic generation for this area and traffic issues.
They have completed a future peak trip generation for the 78th and Powers area based on
complete development of this area (both sides of west 78th) as commercial development.
' Even with total development the traffic as proposed will not exceed the design capacity.
All internal streets within this development are considered private and shall be maintained as
' such. The main entrance to this development is approximately 250 feet south of the West
78th Street intersection. This access location was constructed as a part of the Target parking
lot. Access to these lots shall be limited to the proposed common driveway from Target
Lane.
' At the Planning Commission meeting, the commission requested staff and the applicant
explore placement of a sidewalk through the sites to promote pedestrian traffic. Staff has
recommended a meandering 5' wide concrete sidewalk along the easterly portion of Lots 1
and 3, Block 1

PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE '
The Planning Commission met on August 17, 1994 to hold the public hearing for Subdivision '
#94 -9 for Chanhassen Retail Center 2nd and 3rd Additions and voted for preliminary approval
subject to staff conditions by a vote of 5 to 0. The Commission also held the public hearing
for the site plan review of the Perkins and Taco Bell sites and voted for approval subject to
staff conditions and additional conditions added by Commissioners by a vote of 3 for and 2 '
against. The 2 votes against approval were due to the fact that the required revisions to the
site access would cause a change to the parking lot layout and traffic circulation that could
not be evaluated at that time. The majority of the Planning Commission felt that staff would

GRADING/DRAINAGE
AR
The grading plan dated July 18, 1994 indicates that the entire parcel is proposed to be graded.
However, there is no information provided as to whether there will be excess material hauled off
the site and /or borrow material brought in ", soil correction is needed. If there is excess material
to leave the site, the developer shall indt�ate the quantity"' s such and define an appropriate haul
route for approval. The plans also da =not indicate locates for erosion control. A watershed
permit will be required prior to comet- encing any site grading.
'C
In terms of drainage design for `the entire site, it appears thaf," a drainage subdistrict areas have
' changed from that which was shown with the approved Target", site plan. The original Target site
plan indicated that th i ouftj4y half storm sewer sewer to the Target pond
while the northerly half ,of lhe site ;would I ra n nor ea terly eventually discharging into the new
' pond in the northwest ,quadrant of Trunk Highway 5 and fs Boulevard).
The existing storm sewer °'systems for the Target pond and the West 78th Street pond have been
sized consistent with the originally'appred tiramageplan forea�rget site. The developers
shall provide drainage calculations and a drainoe su"b =area district map verifying flow quantities
and proper pipe capacities for the proposed intefnaistorm sewer system which will discharge into
the existing Target site and West 78th Stre All storm sewer within the site is
considered private and shall be maintained as such.
With respect to the specific drainage from the Taco Bell site, the parking lot shall be
reconfigured to drain to the easterly lead of the two storm sewer leads provided to this site from
Bob Generous i
August 10, 1994
Page 2 '
West 78th Street. The westerly storm sewer lead provided is intended to serve the future I
restaurant site west of the proposed Taco Bell.
The Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) would not apply with this plat since the Target
site and the West 78th Street roadway improvements have provided the necessary downstream
storm water treatment facilities. These parcels are being assessed for the West 78th Street
improvements. '
STREETS I
All internal streets within this development are considered private and shall be maintained as
such. The main entrance to this development is approximately 150 feet south of the West 78th ,
Street intersection. In fact, this access location was constructed as a part of the Target parking
lot! The previously approved Target site plan showed the access to this outlot lining up with the
access to the Target parking lot which is approximately 250 feet south of the West 78th Street ,
intersection. The currently proposed main access to the development is too close to West 78th
Street and presents difficulties for customers egressing the site during busy times of the day.
This primary access should be moved south as previously approved. In addition, access to the '
Taco Bell site and Perkins parking lot are proposed to be approximately 50 feet east of the Target
Lane. This would likely present a problem with vehicles egressing from the Taco Bell site. The
developer should consider limiting access out to only the drive - through traffic at this easterly '
access; however, relocating the main entrance to the site farther south may eliminate this Taco
Bell access issue. '
UTILITIES I
Sanitary sewer and water is available to this overall development via existing public facilities.
All proposed internal sewer and water service facilities associated with this development area '
considered- private and shall be maintained as such. The developer shall denote on the utility
plans which lines are private and which lines are public. The developer shall be responsible'for
all costs associated with protecting all existing public facilities including, but not limited to, city '
sanitary sewer, water, phone cable and gas within the site as the proposed improvements are
constructed.
EASEMENTS
The old West 78th Street right -of -way alignment runs through the northerly portion of this overall
site. This right -of -way should be vacated in conjunction with this proposed development.
F
l'
Bob Generous
August 10, 1994
Page 3
However, in conjunction with this right -of -way vacation, utility easements will need to be
obtained and /or maintained over the existing public utilities running through the site as follows:
A 30 -foot drainage and utility easement centered on the existing sanitary sewer alignment
' through the site.
- The existing drainage and utility easement obtained with the underlying plat of the West
Village Heights 2nd Addition shall be maintained in existence.
- An additional 20 -foot wide drainage and utility easement shall be granted along the south
line of the previously described West Village Heights 2nd Addition drainage and utility
easement.
' From review of the site plan dated July 18, 1994, it is apparent that the proposed Taco Bell
building would encroach upon the proposed 20 foot drainage and utility easement and the
northwest building corner would be approximately five feet from an existing phone cable. If this
is approved by the phone company, an encroachment agreement for this condition will need to
be executed.
' Target Lane is currently platted as public right -of -way. It may be more appropriate to vacate this
250 -foot segment and have cross - access easements between the Target site and the development
' of Outlot B.
1 RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR SITE PLAN
1. Developer shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary agency permits associated with
' the development of this site including but not limited to watershed district, PCA, MWCC,
Health Department.
I 2. All proposed storm sewer and sanitary sewer and water services within the site are
considered private and shall be maintained as such.
3. Developer shall submit to the City Engineer drainage calculations and a drainage map for
the entire site showing areas and quantity of flow to the Target pond and to the County
Road 17 pond that are consistent with capacities of the existing storm sewer system.
4. Stormwater drainage from the Taco Bell site to the West 78th Street storm sewer shall
be directed into the easterly storm sewer lead from West 78th Street immediately north
of the parking lot.

Bob Generous
August 10, 1994

t
5. Developer shall indicate any quantities of borrow material and/or material to be hauled I
off site including a proposed haul route.
6. The applicant shall develop an erosion control plan in accordance to the City's Best
Management Practice Handbook and the Surface Water Management Plan requirements
for development.
7. Developer shall be responsible for all costs associated with protection of the existing
public utility facilities within the overall site. Developer shall also differentiate on the
final site plans which lines are public and which are private.
8. All internal streets and drives within the overall development are considered private and
shall be maintained as such. The main entrance to the site shall be located farther south
to align with the existing curb cut across from the entrance to the Target parking lot.
9. Fire hydrants shall be incorporated as per the Fire Marshal's recommendation.
10. The developers shall enter into a site development contract with the City and provide the
necessary financial security to guarantee compliance with the terms of approval.
11. Construction access to the parcel shall be from the existing Target driveway and not West
78th Street or Powers Boulevard. The applicant and/or contractor shall install and
maintain a gravel construction entrance until the access driveway is paved with a
bituminous surface.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF PLAT APPROVAL
1. Developer shall petition the City to vacate the old West 78th Street right -of -way which
traverses the overall site.
2. The following easements shall be dedicated on the final plat.
I I
J
c
A 30 -foot drainage and utility easement centered on the existing sanitary sewer I
alignment through the site.
The existing drainage and utility easement obtained with the underlying plat of the
West Village Heights 2nd Addition shall be maintained. These easements cover
the City's existing watermain and one of the telephone cables.
Bob Generous
August 10, 1994
Page 5
An additional 20 -foot wide drainage and utility easement shall be granted along
the south line of the previously described West Village Heights 2nd Addition
drainage and utility easement.
3. It appears that the northwest corner of the Taco Bell building would encroach into the
proposed 20 -foot drainage and utility easement and be approximately 5 -feet south of the
existing buried phone cable. The developer shall obtain approval from the phone
company for this condition and if obtained, a subsequent encroachment agreement shall
be executed for this condition.

will be the same. The signage will be the same. They're actually using two tones and the
rest of the development—so they'll have the arches will be an accent band and then they have '
the other colors on the rest of the stucco.
Mancino: And is the band around it the corporate colors?
Scott: It looks like it, yeah. I

Generous: ...I don't know if it's a registered trademark.
Mancino: Does this take ... at all with the Highway 5 design guidelines about using corporate
identity colors as an architectural element?
Scott: Or brick.
' Aanenson: I'm not sure. We'll get back on that. As far as the materials, we did look at
that ... The brick that you see on the photos there, we have met... Again, this is a PUD so
we're trying to make this part relate, not to the Byerly's but more to the Target PUD so
' we're trying to blend. We're trying to pick up elements of the same. You have this
green—which is also an element on the Target so we're trying to pick up all those things.
' Mancino: Okay. But I know that we had concern on the Highway 5 Task Force on the
design committee task force, part of that about on Highway 5, that commercial property and
the design and architecture of their buildings have to be comprised o£..corporate colors so I
would like to look into that.
Ledvina: Colors though?
Mancino: Well some of them have like ... big bands that actually have a great deal to do with
the architecture. That becomes a design element in the architecture and that we were
concerned about that. So I just wanted to make sure that this did not fall into that.
Ledvina: Well they have tile bands. You know bands of tile around—Does that represent a
negative thing?
Mancino: I think we felt that if it became a major part of the architecture it could. So I just
want to check it. I'm not saying no but I just would like to have staff review that and make
sure.
Scott: Any other questions for staff? Would the applicant like to make a presentation? If
yes, please give us your name and your address.
Tom Palmquist: My name is Tom Palmquist. I'm with Ryan Companies. Mr. Chairman,
members of the commission. Staff members. We are in concurrence with all the items of the
staff report and the items of staff that you have had this evening. Yes, we do acknowledge
that we do have an access issue as it relates to the site plan. However, we've met with
Charles Folch on numerous occasions and we've been unable to resolve the issue prior to this
meeting. We are confident that we can resolve the issue to the satisfaction of staff and I

guess we pledge to continue to work diligently with staff ..agreement with the city.
Redevelopment here on the same side. I guess we respectfully request that the commission '
recommend preliminary approval of the platting for the Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition as
well as the site plan approval for the Perkins Restaurant and Taco Bell subject to the
conditions of the staff report and the... conversations which we intend to have with staff to '
satisfactorily resolve those issues.
Scott: Any questions or comments for the applicant? No? Good. Thank you very much. I
Tom Palmquist: We do have a perspective from, that does show the view of the site from a
location on Powers Boulevard just south of Highway 5... I
Scott: Powers east with Target in the middle. So it's kind of. It's Highway 5 on the right
and then there's Target's pylon sign. ,
John Dietrich: Highway 5 is down. You're approximately halfway, maybe if you can.
Scott: There's the West 78th Street alignment and it bends to the north. '
Mancino: Where is West 78th?
Scott: West 78th Street.
Mancino: It looks like... '
Scott: Well this is distorted. You see it looking straight down 78th. '
John Dietrich: No, we have Taco Bell on the left. Perkins on the right. So that would be '
approximately at the elevation if you were along Powers Boulevard. We've anticipated some
landscape treatment would be occurring within the gateway elements yet to be defined.
We're interested and to continue working with the city on the development of that but we '
anticipate with the gateway and the greenery, that that will be—element. And the third
restaurant added would be back up in this area here and that has yet to be defined as a.
Mancino: So what's open space there behind the trees will be a restaurant? '
John Dietrich: Yes. The site plans do identify... where that third restaurant would go but I
again, that would require site plan approval and go through the process until...
Tom Palmquist: If I might correct one item on that third outlot. The contract for private I
40 1
i Planning Commission Meeting - August 17, 1994
' redevelopment that we have executed with the HRA provides that it could be something other
than a restaurant. It could be a...
Mancino: I have one question from the staff report. The drive thru should be buffered from
all public views. Where's the drive thru and how is that being addressed?
' John Dietrich: In terms of the drive thru, the drive thru with Taco Bell facing West 78th
Street is on the south side of the building and you would access it either into the lots or
' coming back up and around and then progressing out. So the buffer area or green space
between the drive thru and this central entry drive would be green and these trees that are
identified as ornamental would be going to canopy trees according to the staff report. That
' any trees we put in here should be, have like a canopy of tree versus an omamental. The
intent is that this green space and the trees would be the buffering to the Highway 5 to the
south.
' Mancino: It says from all public views. How is that buffered from Powers?
' John Dietrich: From Powers we have a row of shrubs that are coming within this band space
here and ... future building structure. We only have to go within this area. There are utility
lines and watermain, sanitary sewer and buried telephone cables that these sites have been
worked around so that those utility trunk line utilities do not have to be relocated so the
building location's pretty well set.
' Mancino: So you will have a buffer on that side?
John Dietrich: Yes.
Mancino: Would you go over the traffic flow? I mean like where are the stop points going
' to be into that drive thru on Taco Bell. If you're coming in one, from the south side or the
north side coming around. How do the two come together to go through the drive thru? Are
there stop signs? How does that work?
' John Dietrich: The intent would be as traffic would come in.
Aanenson: Let me just make a clarification before you respond. That's, there's an issue
there that that's ... just so they don't misunderstand that. That's where the issue lies is the
access to Target is further to the south and that was designed as a T access to service this
' property and that is an issue that we think we can work out internally. Staff and the
applicant. But it's the engineering department's feeling that that entrance is too close to West
78th and needs to be moved.
41
Planning Commission Meeting - August 17, 1994 1

Mancino: For stacking.
Aanenson: Exactly. Where it was originally shown, which cuts into the Perkins site ... they '
have a concern but we think we can work that out. Just so you're not misled when they
show you that because... ,
Scott: How would you propose to gain access to the third parcel? That is as an outlot. How
would that happen? Is that just drive straight through and in or? '
John Dietrich: At this time, yes. It would be driving straight through and then we would
anticipate some type of circulation into the center. '
Aanenson: Typically it'd be a common drive with cross access agreements is what we would
require. All parcels have easements across each other... ,
Scott: Okay, good.
Mancino: Can you go ahead with the internal? ,
John Dietrich: Certainly. The intent would be to allow the traffic flow to come in from the ,
Target lane and access the two sites. In terms of exiting the site, the drive thru would be
coming through on the south side and we would anticipate a stop sign so that the traffic flows
through the parking lot and would be able to move out and they would be just yielding. t
Mancino: But you have two lanes that go into the drive thru, right? '
John Dietrich: I would like to have Maleah Miller, who represents Taco Bell to respond to
the number of lanes. ,
Maleah Miller: Good evening Planning Commission. My name is Maleah Miller and I
represent Taco Bell tonight. Typically we only have one lane going through our drive thru. '
Mancino: There's two coming into it.
Maleah Miller: We have the one. One is coming in. Entering into the drive thru lane and '
it's 12 feet wide and it wraps around the south side of the building. This is our pick up
window at this point. They pick up their food and then they continue on and can exit out. '
Mancino: I'm sorry, I'm not being very clear.
42 1

Planning Commission Meeting - August 17, 1994
John Dietrich: I think I see your point now. In terms of you have the opportunity to access
coming from the west side and also an opportunity to access coming from the east side.
Mancino: Okay. So how do those two merge into one lane that goes through the drive thru
and how do they ... is my question.
John Dietrich: In terms of the traffic coming through, since this would be on the right hand
side, we would anticipate any traffic coming through this way would have the right -of -way.
Perhaps we need a sign that would say yield to traffic coming through.
Maleah Miller: There is quite a few stacks coming back to this point. Now in your drawing
it has 7?
John Dietrich: I believe 7.
Maleah Miller: 7 stacks.
Mancino: Can a car with a ... on the back get through there. Can I get your opinion? I've
never seen a drive thru having.
Hempel: The turning movement from that direction, the outside, may be somewhat tight for a
vehicle... opportunity to go the other way to more easily negotiate that turn.
Aanenson: I guess my understanding is it was always cued to go the other way. I mean if
you come in, you would go into the restaurant. You would exit that way, not through the
drive thru ... so in other words you can't go towards West 78th. We'd only be exiting on
there.
Mancino: How does the applicant feel about that? Just limiting it to access through the drive
thru one way?
Maleah Miller: We would probably just put our signs for the drive thru at this point hoping
they'll, encourage the people to come through. I think it's very important for the whole
circulation of the site that people, once they enter in here, they can exit out ... so there's still
the circulation of the site that people once they enter in here, they can exit out so there's still
the circulation.
Mancino: So there'd be a one way sign.
Scott: Could make it one way?
43
Planning Commission Meeting - August 17, 1994 1
Maleah Miller: Yes. So we'll put the sign here saying drive through this way so a majority
of the people will know to come in this way. This movement is hard to make... '
Scott: See a sign for one way, do not enter.
Mancino: Yeah, or something. '
Maleah Miller: Or even this, when they get to that point, just drive thru with arrows that '
way. So people know to get to the drive thru when they first enter the site, it is coming in
and going towards... encourage them to go this way. Tell them to go, this is the drive thru.
Mancino: Okay. Thank you. '
Mancino: It seems to make a lot of sense. I
Scott: Any other questions or comments?
Mancino: Bob, I know that you said that we're asking for a revised internal parking lot '
landscaping. What's being planted, and I'm sorry I haven't opened it up to the right page.
On the parking islands, one of the things that we've talked about conceptually as a Tree '
Board is asking for vegetation on the islands as far as something like daylillies, hosta, instead
of rock because the rock just carries the asphalt feeling more and what we were trying to do
was to have some green space inside of our internal parking lots. Not overstory trees but also ,
on the actual landscape islands. And is the applicant doing that?
John Dietrich: As part of the revision the code, landscape code requires that the landscape '
islands be a minimal of 8 feet in width. And this plan-for example, those islands would have
to be 8 foot in width where that is one of my... In terms of the ground planting, again a
variety of materials that could be utilized so that we could look at a lower plant material so '
we'd like to have something that would be hardy. That would take salt. That would take
snow loading so if it was not going to be a perennial like a dayMy that would die down—die
down completely. It would be something like spires that could be—grassier, softer type plant '
material versus a woody type plant material like a lilac. '
Mancino: Or a juniper. '
John Dietrich: Or a juniper. '
Mancino: Versus rock, yeah. Just putting in rock into a parking lot. Okay.

Nutting: I don't have much more to add. It sounds like the applicant is in agreement with
' staff's recommendations as in the discussion earlier. I think I'm ready to move forward with
this.
' Scott: Okay, Nancy.
Mancino: I feel pretty comfortable too. One of the things that I'd like to bring up is I'd like
' to make sure that Taco Bell and Perkins knows that when they do come in that they will, I
would ask that they follow the new sign ordinance that will be passed when we pass it and
that they abide by that and that for now obviously we follow the old one and when the new
' one comes into effect.
Aanenson: We do have PUD standards that were spelled out for this project. When we put it
' together we said there could be one free standing sign and each individual tenant's limited
to ... and that it be architecturally compatible. That was already spelled out in the PUD
agreement. I think that would be consistent with the sign. The one they showed you...
'
Nutting: Did I see a pylon sin for Perkins on that earlier drawing that you had put u ?
g PY g g Y P P
Generous: Those, I gave you a revised plan that I put on your desk tonight. That should
have a black and white picture and the pylon sign ... the 34 foot height would not be permitted.
They'd get a maximum of 20 feet on the pylon.
Aanenson: And that one again, that was spelled out in the PUD for the entire Target and
Outlot B. One pylon sign—for all three tenants. That was up to their choice and then'
45
fl
Planning Commission Meeting - August 17, 1994 1
each ... would just be given an extra monument sign. '
Nutting: How is that planned to be used? Is it just Perkins? '
Tom Palmquist: The intent at this point is that this pylon will be divided into three panels '
with each of the three users represented on some ... basis.
Conrad: Horizontal? Vertical panels?
Tom Palmquist: It will be horizontal.

Aanenson: I think we may want to see that again. We had some concerns with that as far '
as ... Maybe the signs can come back as a separate.
Nutting: It's laid out in the PUD in terms of the. '
Mancino: But that can come back separately. I
Aanenson: Certainly. That's something we haven't had a chance to review specifically
except for what you've seen there ... I guess we want to stay as uniform as far as if there's '
different logos on it... However, if they all their own corporate logos on it with unique colors
and all that ... we'd like an opportunity to review that. Again, it does tie in architecturally...
Mancino: I'd agree with that. Are you done? '
Nutting: Yeah. I
Mancino: One thing about one sign per street frontage. Where is that in our staff report? I
remember reading that. '
Generous: It's under the PUD standards. The development standards. They're only
permitted two wall signs. Two elevations per building to get a sign. '
Mancino: Is this the sign we're talking about? '
Generous: That's the Taco Bell.
Mancino: But don't I see four?
Generous: You see it on the drawing but they're only getting two.

.1 Planning Commission Meeting - August 17, 1994
Mancino: Oh! Is the applicant aware of that?
' Tom Palm uist: As we mentioned earlier, we are in concurrence with the recommendations
q e datlons
of staff in the staff report.
' Mancino: Thank ou. Thanks for in
y going over that...
' Aanenson: Can I just clarify ... as far as the banding. We did go through these conditions
when we wrote the report and what it says as far as, it says colors shall be harmonious and
bright or sharply contrasting colors may be used for accent purposes and that's how we
interpreted it ... as long as it's an accent. It doesn't address what it's supposed to provide and
that's how we interpreted this...
Mancino: Thanks. Well I appreciate your checking. I don't have anything else. I think if
we can work out the internal working and the flow of traffic. I'd leave it to staff to make
' sure that the interior parking lot landscaping is quality. Quality, quality, quality being this is
a PUD and that's it.
' Scott: Good, Matt.
Ledvina: I guess the only thing I would ask or maybe question relates to the landscaping and
' how it fits in with our proposed planting on this comer and you know essentially the Outlot
A is reserved for our.
Aanenson: The city retained ownership of that. The City Council and the HRA are working
to do, this is one area they looked at gateway treatments. They have Hoisington - Koegler
working on those gateway treatments. They may not go anywhere but we are keeping
' ownership and we are under obligation to landscape that...
Ledvina: Well I guess what I'm wondering is, is there a chance to coordinate the landscaping
of these buildings with what's ever done on the outlot or the gateway treatment if you will. I
mean does it
' Aanenson: You mean coordinating or signing?
1
0
Aanenson: Are you talking terracing?
Ledvina: Coordinating it.
47
Planning Commission Meeting - August 17, 1994 1
Ledvina: Well yeah. Whatever. I don't know what that means necessarily but other than
making it all kind of fit together. If you've got a row of shrubs and then something else that '
goes in in front of it that doesn't work on our chunk of land, you know. That we want to try
to avoid that situation obviously.
Mancino: Like compatibility of architecture. '
Ledvina: Right. '
Mancino: It's the compatibility of the landscape.
Ledvina: Right, so how can we do that? '
Aanenson: I think we can work that out. As we've indicated, they need to look at those
species and we can coordinate that with what Hoisington - Koegler is looking at as far as
that..., we can certainly look at that before it goes to City Council.
Ledvina: Okay.
Tom Palmquist: If I may add. The intent is to begin grading this fall. The landscaping
would not physically go in until next spring so there would be an opportunity to make
adjustments or modifications to the approved landscape plan is that Hoisington - Koegler plan
was not complete or you know to the exact level ... this time. ,
Aanenson: And you may want to make that a condition.
Ledvina: J Right, I was just thinking can we tack that on somewhere? Maybe condition
g g
number 20 I suppose. On the site plan?
Scott: Ladd. ,
Conrad: Impervious surface ratio has to be 70 or under? Is that what it is for impervious '
surface.
Aanenson: Over the entire site. What we did is started with over. f
Conrad: 76. '
Aanenson: And obviously we picked it up...
48 1
i Planning Commission Meeting - August 17, 1994
Conrad: And this site says 68. So 68 and 76, I don't know how it, I haven't been sold that
we have the final numbers here.
Generous: Well I think we're pretty close. I estimated that they were at 66% and with these
two developments they needed like .05 acres onto the third site and that will be easy to make
on that.
Conrad: Okay. It seems like if we change the access point, and I don't know how much
' we're changing it but you're saying we're changing it. It changes the whole plan quite a bit.
The access point, you know if you change it 2 feet, no big deal. If you line it up with the
Target, it is a big deal so I guess I'm not sure. How much is this going to change when you
' start negotiating with the folks.
Generous: Well that's—the Perkins parking lot doesn't change. I tried three different
' alignments for the eastern half. It's feasible. One of them you have an island that runs along
the east. It's like, almost a boulevard type that would parallel the Target and then basically
turning back up and then incorporate that middle boulevard area again for access to the third
site. It would be changing the orientation. There is one alignment that Charles Folch would
Eke that you'd sort of diagonally go through that property.
Conrad: Well, you know we've spent some time talking. I probably should have talked first.
Really if we change the road access we really don't have a site plan. Everything changes.
' I'm not, I guess I'm not saying I'm against what I see. Staff has some standards that they
want to implement. Given the staff standards that they want to implement, I don't think I see
a plan that is something I can react to. Second thing, when Target came in I really pushed
' for sidewalks and I don't think anybody, at least dividing the Target parking lot with a
sidewalk down the middle and Target persuaded us not to do it, or somebody else not to do
it. We don't, Vision 2002 talks about sidewalk access and we made Wendy's connect a
sidewalk. I'm curious staff, we don't have sidewalks coming into here. What's our posture
on that?
' Hempel: We do have sidewalks running along the south side of West 78th Street. Could
easily be adapted to connect into the site plan requiring Taco Bell to open as a train of traffic
there.
Conrad: I guess I'd be interested. I'm not sure what we want to do with it but if Brad
Johnson were here and said people don't walk, and that's kind of true. I really feel badly that
we didn't do something in the Target parking lot so like it's been compromised there and so
do I really care. But a lot of people are giving a lot of lip service to pedestrian traffic and
here's a case where we got a chance to do that. I don't know that people are really going to
49
Q
Planning Commission Meeting - August 17, 1994 1
walk but on the other hand, I don't think we considered sidewalks coming in or going out and
I don't know how I'd do it here but. '
Aanenson: I guess we've got the sidewalk on Powers too.
Conrad: But that doesn't get you in. '
Aanenson: No. But ... somehow get to the Perkins over there and up and around, I guess I
that's.
Conrad: It's not like I'm going to make a case. I'm not going to make a case for this. If '
somebody else wants to make a case or are concerned, then we should take a look and see if
we really do want pedestrian foot traffic coming in here. I always get uncomfortable when,
you know when we put out 3 restaurants together. It just looks like a lot of stuff. You know
it looks like we've got roads all over and no real pockets. You know if I, I wouldn't design
it this way. It looks, it doesn't look like what you get out of a PUD but I don't know how
I'd redesign it. Make it three restaurants. We have a lot of car traffic going in there. But '
it's, I guess my biggest concern is going back. We have an access to, we have an access
point that's not really where it is on this plan and I think it's going to change it quite a bit.
That's all my comments. '
Mancino: I want to respond to your sidewalk... Going to those Vision 2002 meetings, you're
right on that we certainly don't want to deter or say that we're against obviously car traffic
'
because everybody's going to drive to the center of the city but we also said we want to
balance it with pedestrian traffic. And maybe someone would come and say well people
aren't going to walk through here but we never created a space, a welcoming space for
people, for pedestrians to walk and maybe they actually would take advantage of that if we
do that.
'
Scott: Well think about the outlot and having that as a landscaped amenity. Benches and
stuff and I can see taking my fajitas over to the outlot. I mean something like that. I mean
this is an element that it should be tied in with this and if we're talking about pedestrian
'
walkways, I think topographically the outlot's pretty flat isn't it? Or will be. So that might
be conducive to, I mean although it's going to be on a major intersection or something like
that. And they're talking about some sort of a gateway treatment but from what I understand,
we're reluctant to be investing any significant sums in a sign that says we're Chanhassen,
you're not, or something like that, right? But yeah, I would have to agree with your
comments on the walkway area. And once again the whole idea about planning is that we're
talking decades here and 20 -30 years, maybe the automobile is not going to be the method of
getting around that it is today. I don't know but we can't forget that the idea of planning,
'
50 1
Planning Commission Meeting - August 17, 1994
we're thinking decades, not just years.
Mancino: So you'd like to see them investigate more of a pedestrian friendly walkway
between the restaurants?
Conrad: At least getting into them. I'd like to see the trade offs. If you put a sidewalk in,
you take out vegetation.
Ledvina: Yeah, and if it's just a couple of rows of sod.
Conrad: Yeah. If we're moving sod then it's not a big deal.
Scott: Is there a motion somewhere?
Mancino: I'd like to move that the Planning Commission approve...
Scott: Well there's two of them.
Tom Palmquist: Point of clarification?
Scott: Ah no.
Mancino: That we approve, or recommend approval of #92 -5 PUD for the preliminary plat
for Chanhassen Retail 2nd Addition and Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition as shown on the
plans dated July 25, 1994 and subject to the following conditions. Conditions number 1 as is.
Number 2 as is and number 3 as is. That's it.
Scott: Okay. Is there a second? So at least in my mind you're willing to move along the
PUD but not the site plan review.
Mancino: Yeah. Because I want to add conditions to the site plan.
Scott: Okay. Is there a second?
Ledvina: I'll second that.
Scott: It's been moved and seconded that we approve Case #92 -5 PUD. Is there any
discussion?

Aanenson: What you're looking at is the subdivision for Chanhassen Retail 2nd Addition
which creates Outlot A, the city is going to maintain and then the Chanhassen Retail 3rd
splits Oudot B into 3 parcels.
'
Ledvina: Okay. Alright, just to make sure.
,
Mancino moved, Ledvina seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval
of #92 -5 PUD for the preliminary plat for Chanhassen Retail 2nd Addition and
Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition as shown on the plans dated July 25, 1994 and subject
'
to the following conditions:
1. Developer shall petition the city to vacate the old West 78th Street right -of -way which
'
traverses the overall site.
2. The following easements shall be dedicated on the final plat:
'
a. A 30 foot drainage and utility easement centered on the existing sanitary sewer
alignment through the site.
'
b. The existing drainage and utility easement obtained with the underlying plat of the
West Village Heights 2nd Addition shall be maintained. These easements cover the
'
City's existing watermain and one of the telephone cables.
c. An additional 20 foot wide drainage and utility easement shall be granted along the
'
south line of the previously described West Village Heights 2nd Addition drainage and
utility easement.
'
3. It appears that the northwest corner of the Taco Bell building would encroach into the
proposed 20 foot drainage and utility easement and be approximately 5 feet south of the
'
existing buried phone cable. The developer shall obtain approval from the phone
company for this condition and if obtained, a subsequent encroachment agreement shall be
executed for this condition.
All voted in favor and the motion carried.

to add number 20. That the landscaping plan for the Taco Bell site, the Perkins site and

Mancino: Okay. And if there are big differences. If the sites become.
I Aanenson: Significant changes.

staff and the applicant work through the internal traffic flow of the Taco Bell parking lot in
regards to one way in and one way exit. Especially a one way entrance into the drive thru.
' And number 23. That the applicant investigate a pedestrian friendly walkway that would tie
the restaurants together. Or that would access the restaurants.
I I
Scott: Maybe just have the staff and then the applicant develop a pedestrian walkway system
connecting the Perkins and Taco Bell?
Mancino: And the future restaurant.
Scott: With the existing what? West 78th sidewalk on the south side of West 78th? That
was rough but is that.
Mancino: ...my words. And the last one, I think it's number 24 and I guess I don't have to
say anything about the new sign ordinance, do I?
Mancino: Oh yeah. 24. We would like to see.
Aanenson: Well I think what we would like is to bring the signs back. The sign package.
Aanenson: We haven't seen what's going on it yet. If they're putting 3 logos on it or 3
name plates.
53
Planning Commission Meeting - August 17, 1994 1
Mancino: Okay. So we would like to see the sign, all the signs for this property. And
approve them. '
Scott: Okay. Is there a second?
Ledvina: I'll second that. '
Scott: It's been moved and seconded that we approve 94 -6. Site Plan review subject to the I
additional conditions. Is there discussion?
Conrad: So that means you don't want to see it back? ,
Aanenson: Unless there's significant change.
Mancino: Unless there's significant changes when they do the parking lot realignment. '
Conrad: And the drive will swing how many feet south? I
Generous: About 100 maybe.
I
Mancino: Now if you'd like to do a friendly amendment as to what constitutes significant
Y
changes, I'd be open to that.
,
Ge n I don't know.
Generous: No ,
Ledvina: Well perhaps if the staff feels that they can't come to resolution with it, considering '
the optimum traffic circulation, you know then maybe bring it back to us and say, what do
you think? Whatever. We can't keep... '
Conrad: They'll be able to handle it.
Ledvina: I think so too but in the event. '
Generous: And there will be significant changes. I
Conrad: But the rest will go to City Council. It may come back.
Aanenson: ...there is some design constraints on the two northerly pieces as far as the '
footprints and maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong but we've got a lot of utilities running
through there and there isn't a lot of movement for the Taco Bell and the other use. The

only flexibility is the location of Perkins and obviously they want to put it on that corner but
not the parking, which we also want for Highway 5. We prefer to have the Perkins there as
far as the visibility giving that a nicer look. And it screens the parking so, obviously ... so
we've been giving them some options that they're not happy with but you have to realize too
that they need to split this property to make it easier for cross easements. The less crossing
you do makes it easier for them so they're trying to make it as clean as possible to sell off
the three lots...
Conrad: Just out of curiosity, why didn't we push the Perkins and the future restaurant
footprint to the outside of the property so the parking's internal?
Aanenson: We can go way back when we originally looked at the Target. When they came
in, we did the design charette when we had Barton- Aschman sit down when we learned
Target was looking at coming into Chanhassen. So we did some designs as far as the Target
in there. What would be the configuration of the remaining portion and that was one of the
options that you looked at. A row of buildings screened and as you recall, originally we
looked at this whole package. There was probably 6 outlots on the development and I think
we threw 6 out right away when we were looking at it and then we came down to 5 or 4 and
through negotiations with the city—But then you really start getting in again to some of those
design things that we talked about with the utilities that run through there. There's some
fiber optic cable and some of the issues that makes it really tough to try to locate some of
those... and obviously Target has agreements as far as making sure them maximize views to
their building and some of those issues all came into play as far as how they're laying this
out. But that was a consideration as far as lining those up as far as visibility. That was
originally looked at.
Mancino: Because you could pull the Perkins building closer to Highway 5.
Generous: 20 feet.
Aanenson: As far as the Highway 5 setback was 50 feet.
Conrad: So you accomplish splitting up the parking.
Aanenson: Again, you have three separate tenants and that's what it comes down to. That
market force of having 3 separate tenants having their own property ownership.
Conrad: What's the potential. So we've got an exit from Taco Bell on the west. Or an
entrance. And then the future restaurant is, is that roadway going to be a common roadway?
55
Planning Commission Meeting - August 17, 1994 1
Aanenson: Yes.
Conrad: So we won't have an island and another roadway there. '
Aanenson: It will more than likely be a continuation of the... I
Mancino: What do you mean...
Conrad: Well we have entrance /exit for Taco Bell on the left hand side and then we have
another restaurant. But potentially they should be using the same street to come out or enter.
I just don't want two side by side roadways there. Not logical to do. '
Aanenson: Ladd, maybe this will make it clearer. This is a...
Mancino: It will go back. It will go west and go into that future restaurant so there will be '
one common driveway.
Aanenson: Yes. But we're saying it needs to be down here where the curb cut was shown '
and it needs to curve up and then go over.
vina: Is that curb cut actually there for a new Tar '
Led y et site? g
Aanenson: Yes. '
Generous: Yes. It shows up on your subdivision plan. ,
Conrad: The outlots always worry me because when they come in, we sort of dictated how
they're, based on what we just saw, we dictated how they're going to develop and that's too '
bad because there will be no leverage to make the road. You know the opportunity here is to
minimize the number of roadways and cross traffic and again, I'm not a designer but I'd sure
like to cut off some of the, if I were designing three restaurants in a group, I'd have one '
entrance to each one of them rather than multi entrances coming in and it makes it clear and
less pedestrian, fewer pedestrian problems. So I guess I'm going to stop talking but you '
know, that's probably not my design that I'd want if I had three restaurants sitting on a semi '
circle or a square. I think there's a lot of benefits. There's a lot of good things. They're
both good tenants that we're looking at and I think but it's, I don't think we've improved,
other than space. I think we've got some green space down there but I don't know that ,
we've really done anything in terms of sinking them together. There's a road coming in and
we've got accesses off the road but anyway, those are my comments. The comment section
was before. This is discussion. It's not coming back more than likely. '

Mancino: ...the question and try to see some sketch plans along that ...and see how it would
work.
Conrad: I wouldn't bring it back for that.
Scott: And you wouldn't bring it back for the change in the entrance?
Conrad: Yeah.
Scott: You would?
Conrad: Oh yeah. I think it's major. I don't, you've got stuff flinging around and I don't
know how they're going to do it so.
Mancino: So you would like to see if there is a change, it back?
Conrad: Again, I think your motion is valid. If it's a major change it should come back but
it's all, in my perspective, it's got to be a major change. It's going in a road down here.
You're changing some, I don't know how the traffic patterns go through Perkins lot and gets
you up to Taco Bell and then swings out to the future restaurant. I don't get that.
Mancino: Is staff comfortable enough with that so we get it back if there are major changes?
Generous: Yes.
Scott: Should we vote on the motion and see how it goes and then.
Ledvina: Yes.
Mancino moved, Ledvina seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval

aeration and irrigation. As the people in Europe learned, dead -end aeration holes
in the soil are seldom adequate. Connecting the bottoms of two or more of the
vertical aeration pipes, however, allows air flow through the tubes, greatly increas=

OAKS (Quercus)
Oaks are widely distributed in North America. Of about 60 spe-
cies native to the area covered by this book (p. 3), 41 are
described. (Varieties, hybrids, shrubs, and rare or localized
species are omitted.) Some oaks are deciduous, others evergreen;
some are either, depending on local conditions. Monoecious —the
staminate flowers in pendant, clustered aments near ends of twigs
pistillate, solitary or in several- flowered spikes in new -leaf axils.
Fruit an acorn. Buds clustered at tips of twigs. leaves alternate.
North American oaks are divided into two groups: white oaks
and red oaks. Most white oaks have leaves with rounded lobes or
' marginal teeth not tipped with bristles. Their acorns mature in one
season, and the shells are hairless inside. Their meat is not bitter.
Red oaks have pointed bristle - tipped lobes; bristle- tipped or spiny
marginal teeth; or smooth margins, often with a spiny or bristle -
tipped apex. Usually their acorns mature in two years, the shells
are hairy inside, and the meat is bitter. Chestnut oaks form a
subsection of the white oak group; the willow oaks and live oaks
are subsections of the red oak group.

Ni
WHITE OAK GROUP
WHITE OAK (Quercus albs) leaves are deciduous, 5
to 9 inches long and 2 to 4 inches wide, with 7 to 9
rounded lobes divided by narrow, variable sinuses
often extending nearly to the midrib. The oblong
acorns, 0.5 to 0.8 of an inch long, are- set in a bowl -
like cup covered with warty scales. The gray bark is
in narrow, vertical blocks of scaly plates. Grows 80 to
100 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet in diameter, with a wide
BUR OAK (Quercus mocrocarpa) has deciduous
leaves, 6 to 12 inches long and 3 to 6 inches wide,
with 5 to 9 rounded lobes; only central sinuses extend
nearly to midrib. The broadly ovoid acorn, 0.8 to 1.5
inches long, has a fringed cup covering lower half.
Twigs often have corky "wings." Bark resembles
White Oak's. Bur Oak prefers bottomland soils.
Grows 70 to 80 feet tall, 2 to 3 feet in diameter.
OVERCUP OAK (Quercus tyrata) has deciduous
leaves, 6 to 10 inches long and 1 to 4 inches wide,
with 5 to 9 rounded lobes separated by broad, irreg-
ular sinuses. The broad, nearly round acorn, 0.5 to 1
inch long, is covered almost completely with a scaly
cup. The bark is similar to White Oak's. Typical of
wet bottomlands, Overcup Oak may grow 60 to 100
feet tall and 3 to 4 feet in diameter, usually smaller.

NORTHERN RED OAK (Quercus rubra) has decidu-
ous leaves, 5 to 8 inches long and 4 to 5 inches wide,
with 7 to 1 1 pointed, toothed lobes separated by regu-
lar sinuses that extend halfway to the midrib. The leaves
> turn red in the fall. The oblong -ovoid acorns are 0.8
to 1 inch long, with a flat, saucer -like cup at their base.
The dark -brown to black bark is ridged and furrowed.
Grows 50 to 70 feet tall and 1 to 3 feet in diameter,
with a rounded crown.
_ BLACK OAK (Quercus velutina) leaves resemble those
of Northern Red Oak but have 5 to 7 lobes separated
I by variable sinuses and are coppery with axillary tufts
of hair below. Ovoid acorns, 0.5 to 0.8 of an inch
' long, have deep, bowl -like, scaly cups. Bark is black, 1

SCARLET OAK (Quercus coccinea) has deciduous
leaves about the same size as those of Northern Red
�., z Oak, but the 5 to 9 narrow, toothed, and pointed lobes
(S 'f e are separated by deep, rounded sinuses that extend
nearly to the midrib. In fall, the leaves turn red or
scarlet. The oval acorns, 0.5 to 1 inch long, have a
deep, bowl -like, scaly cup, and the apex is often
marked with circular lines. Grows 50 to 75 feet tall
and 1 to 3 feet in diameter, with an irregular, spread-
ing crown.
PIN OAK (Quercus polustris) leaves are deciduous, 3
to 5 inches long and 2 to 5 inches wide. The 5 (occa-
sionally 7 to 9) lobes are toothed and pointed, with
deep, irregular sinuses extending nearly to the midrib.
The leaves turn red in fall. The nearly round, brownish,
and hairless acorns are 0.5 of an inch long, have a
thin, scaly, shallow cup; the branches have short,
stubby twigs. Prefers bottomland soils. Grows 50 to
75 feet tall and 1 to 3 feet in diameter, with smooth
to ridged, gray -brown bark.
NO PIN OAK (Quercus ellipsoidalis) is simi-

ASHES (Fraxinus)
Approximately 65 species of trees and shrubs belong to the genus
Fraxinus in the olive family. Largely confined to temperate regions
of Northern Hemisphere, but a few occur in the tropics. In addition
to trees described here, four small trees, usually shrubby, grow in
southwestern U.S. southward into Mexico — Berlandier Ash (F.
berlandieriano), Two -petal Ash (F. dipetala), Goodding Ash (F.
gooddingii), and Chihuahua Ash (F. papillosa).
Ashes are easily recognized as a group, but species are difficult
to distinguish. Leaves are deciduous, opposite, and, with few excep•
tions, odd- pinnately compound. Some species are dioecious; others
have polygamous or perfect flowers in clusters (panicles), appear-
ing before or with the leaves. Flowers of most North American
species lack petals; one has flowers with showy white petals. Fruit
is a samara, with single terminal wing. In winter, naked twigs have
blunt buds (terminal larger than lateral) with 1 to 3 pairs of exposed
scales. In most species, the leaf scars are notched and half- round,
with an elliptical line of tiny, vascular bundle scars.
WHITE ASH (Fraxinus americans) leaves are 8 to 12
inches long, usually with 7 (sometimes 5 to 13) oval to
oblong - lanceolate leaflets, 3 to 5 inches long and 1.5 to 3
inches wide; margins smooth or finely toothed, essentially
glabrous below. Stems of leaflets are very long and
slender. Dioecious, flowers appearing before leaves.
Samaras 1 to 2 inches long, with wing extending only
part way along seed. Twigs round, usually not hairy, with
half- round, notched leaf scars. White Ash has gray bark,
with diamond - shaped ridges appearing on the trunks of
older trees. To 80 feet tall, 3 feet in diameter.
.J \
y , GREEN ASH (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) resembles White
i'.,,5,• ^ Ash but has slightly smaller leaves, 6 to 9 inches long,
'R> with leaflets 3 to 4 inches long and 1 to 1.5 inches wide.
Margins of the leaflets are toothed above the middle.
The underside of the leaflets may be smooth to hairy. In

MAPLE FAMILY (Aceraceae)
Maples (Ater) are among the most distinctive trees and shrubs in
North America. Their winged seeds are in pairs (rarely in 3's) and
their deciduous leaves are opposite on the branches. In most species
the leaves are simple and palmately lobed. An exception is the
Boxelder (Ater negundo), which has odd - pinnately compound fo-
liage. Boxelder also differs from other native maples in having
staminate and pistillate flowers on separate trees.
Maples, with nearly 150 species, are most abundant in eastern
Asia. About a dozen species are native to the United States and
Canada, but a number of foreign species have been introduced as
ornamentals. The maple family has one other genus (Dipteronia),
native to China.
SUGAW er s c rum) leaves are i ro a
inches in diameter and usually 5- lobed, their margins
with several large, pointed teeth and the sides of the
center lobe roughly parallel. Clusters of yellow, long-
stemmed polygamous flowers develop with leaves.
%Z Inch -long, U- shaped pair of winged seeds ripen in fall.
• On young trees the bark is smooth and gray- brown,
becoming scaly and furrowed with maturity. Sugar
,( Maple grows 75 to 100 feet tall and 2 to 4 feet in
V diameter. In crowded woods, it has a long, branchless
trunk; in the open a shorter trunk and a large, rounded
crown. Its hard wood is used for furniture, in cabinet
work, for interior trim, and flooring. The sap is the
source of maple sugar and syrup. Sugar Maples are
popular for shade and ornamental plantings because
of their colorful red -and- yellow fall foliage.

Maple, but the leaves are usually 3- lobed. In addition,
the sides of the leaves tend to bend downward, and
the underside, especially along the yellow veins, is
somewhat hairy. Like the Sugar Maple, it is tapped in
early spring for its sugary sap, and its hard wood is
commercially valued.
FLORIDA MAPLE (Ater barbatum) resembles Sugar
Maple but is smaller, growing to 60 feet tall and 3
feet in-diameter. Its blue - green, 3- to 5 -lobed leaves
are 1.5 to 3 inches in diameter and usually hairy
below. The lobes have wavy margins and rounded
rather than pointed tips. In Florida Maple, the base
of the leaf stem is noticeably enlarged.

Bob Generous: Actually there's 3 parts in this. The City is requesting preliminary and final plat approval for '
Chanhassen Retail 2nd Addition. To plat Outlot B of the 1st Addition into Outiots A and B of the 2nd Addition
to provide the development framework for the Ryans. As part of the Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition, the Ryan
Companies are dedicating Outiot B of the 2nd Addition and platting them into 3 lots. The second, or first part '
of this hearing is to have a site plan review for a Taco Bell and Perkins. The Taco Bell is on Lot 3, Block 1 of
Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition. It's .84 acres and is approximately, the building ... 34 parking sites which is the
northern lot in Outlot B, or Block 1. On the southern lot, the Perkins is a 5,000 square foot building with '
approximately 5,000 square feet..And 85 parking spaces. The site plan meets the code requirements as far as
landscaping, parking, lot coverage. This is all being developed within a planned unit development that was
approved as a part of the Target project. The applicant is meeting the guidelines established as part of the PUD
for this site, including setback, total lot coverage, the use of building materials, slope elements, pitched roof '
elements... There were just a couple changes that staff was proposing for the site plan and I talked to the
applicant and they agree to make those changes. We are requesting that the applicant put in a sidewalk system
which will meander along the eastern edge of the property to provide access from West 78th Street into the ,

development and potentially long term the city would continue that bikeway /walkway system up to the bike trail
on Highway 5. Additionally they'll provide an access into the ... Staff is recommending approval of the
preliminary and final plat for Chanhassen Retail 2nd Addition and for Chanhassen Retail 3rd Addition with the
conditions contained in the staff report. Staff is also recommending site plan approval for the Taco Bell and
Perkins site. If you have any questions...
Mayor Chmiel: Were there any questions by Council? Hearing none, I'll have the applicant provide the
information for the project.
Tom Palmquist: ...I'm Tom Palmquist. I'm with Ryan Construction Company. We're pleased to be before you
tonight seeking final approval to two subdivisions and also site plan approvals for both Perkins and Taco Bell.
As many of you and staff certainly know, we have had interest in developing these parcels for some time and
we're pleased to see the process nearing it's final conclusion. I guess..John Dietrich from RLK Associates
and...
Mayor Chmiel: Gentlemen, let me just say this. That normally we knock off at 11:00 with Council and decided
we would go through the process and you could give us the information that's really pertinent, we would like to
hear that right now.
John Dietrich: Very fine. I'll try to make it as brief as possible. Thank you. I've got my running shoes on.
As Tom had mentioned, conclusion is nearing the end here on... The intent of this process is to have subdivision
approval for the Outlots B, which is really the central portion of this entire 4.6 acre lot and then the remaining
area which is classified as Outlot A, would remain in city control. So essentially we're looking at 3 developable
lots within Outlot B and the city maintaining control of this crescent shaped area around the 3 lots. That would
allow the city to then control the green space around it and also have space for the entry monument and
landscaping that this area of Powers Boulevard and Highway 5 has been identified as one of the critical
intersections on the Highway 5 corridor. The intent of the development was to work with the overall utilities
that are in place. We have major utilities running east and west through the site so the location of the buildings
are fairly well set. It's a matter of how to place the buildings in there. The overall density, or excuse me,
impervious density proposed for these 3 lots will be 68%. The PUD allows up to a 70% impervious density. If
we take in Outlot A, we would have an impervious density of 22% for this entire lot. The intent is to have the 2
lots looked at for site plan approval tonight with a third lot coming before you at a future date and that would
again have to run through the site plan approval process. I'd like to briefly go through the boards that we have
to provide a perspective drawing that identifies the locations of the three buildings. The future one here, Taco
Bell and Perkins down to the south. It's essentially drawn halfway, let's say if we were looking on Powers
Boulevard about halfway between the buildings looking directly to the east. With the location of the utilities that
are within this site, it identifies really where this building's going to have to be placed so there will always be a
visual corridor looking between the buildings and towards the Target parcel. That would allow the entire facade
of the building to be landscaped and we're also showing some proposed landscaping within the city's control of
Outlot A and that is ... so we will be compatible with that landscape version. I believe we have identified some
cross sections so that the rooftop equipment will be screened within parapet roofs. Each of the developments,
the Taco Bell and the Perkins have about a 4 foot parapet roof so that the rooftop equipment can be screened.
We've taken cross section of CC from Highway 5 to Perkins and D to DD from the high point on West 78th
Street and with those cross sections we identify the rooftop equipment to be screened. We are also taking cross
sections from Highway 5 directly north to identify Section B to BB with the rooftop equipment screened and
then Section A, AA would also be screened directly south of the Taco Bell. In terms of the architecture, I'll
play architect here. We have the Taco Bell facility and the materials of a pitched roof and a russet color

concrete shingle along the roof on all 4 sides. The soffit would be a color band running on all 4 sides of the '
building also. An accent banding around each of the arches, windows and arch over the door would be—on the
stucco masonry of the exterior of the door. Lastly, these elevations show 4 signs. There will only be 2 signs on '
the exterior of the building. They will be on the east and on the northeast side. These two elevations do not
have any signage on them... Lastly the Perkins building, in terms of the... architecture, will also have a pitched
roof. We will have a standing seam metal roof and building... This elevation which is colored is actually the ,
east elevation which would be looking towards the Target building itself. They're a combination of ceramic
tiles, forest green in color, running on all four sides. Canopies will be on just the north and south sides of the
building and a combination of stucco material in two colors, both in cream to accent the ceramic tiles and
windows in a more desert brown color to be the primary color of the building itself. As Bob had mentioned, '
this site plan has been revised. There will be an added boardwalk to the eastern side—and access to the Taco
Bell and we are excited that it has reached this conclusion of going through a number of alternatives in terms of
access and compatibility with the PUD standards and feel that it is...PUD that was developed 3 years ago when '
Target was before you at that time. Sorry I took longer.
Councilman Mason: Not bad though. '
Mayor Chmiel: Track shoes did well.
John Dietrich: Thank you. '
Mayor Chmiel: Alright, are there any questions of Council? Richard?
Councilman Wing: Well I just wish that Jeff had been at the Planning Commission meeting. I think he would '
have made some of the same comments about this one as he made about Wendy's. But specifically, good
project. I don't have a lot of comments, with the exception of, I don't think we need to sell Taco Bell and to
me when we get into these multi- colored bands, it just cheapens it up and then all of a sudden, well let me back '
up. I just came back from a week and a half out in San Francisco and in every case, without exception, every
fast food blended to the existing structures and if it was Spanish, it was a Spanish McDonald's. If it was early
American, it was an early American Wendy's. That's all there was to it and the signs were all restricted. All '
the building materials were compatible and I'd like to reach that point here except we don't have any standard to
go by. I mean it's a little of this, a little of that and so this is basically, the Two Bell I had no trouble with.
The only thing I would ask is that the colored you know, first of all, here's all we've got to work on. So this is ,
difficult. I wish we had some more detail that we could see before we get up here and know what's going on
and I failed to look at this today. Were these available for us today? Yeah. I wish I had caught these.
Mayor Chmiel: Do we have any pieces of? '
Kate Aanenson: Can I make a clarification on that color band because that came up during the sign discussion
too. It was addressed on the Highway S overlay standards. Talking about color bands as accents and what it
does ... it can't be painted I recall specifically... They need to be some other type of material other than painted.
Councilman Wing: No, I understand That doesn't matter. If you put them in solid Kate, I think that unlike '
Wendy's, we need to reduce. I realize these are going to be a permanent type of material and they're going to be
a tile. But I think like Wendy's, because of this location and it's central draw, we don't have to have this, this
is file lighting up the building and I think this should be reduced to a neutral earthen tone, whatever they want
to do with it. '

Kate Aanenson: The color band?
Councilman Wing: The Taco Bell and their advertising on the front door here, that can stay but the color bands.
I really feel strongly should be deleted. I don't think this is appropriate. I think it orally cheapens up the
building. I think it cheapens up the area It advertises in an area, in a way that's not appropriate or necessary
here. I don't think we're affecting them one bit to say let's remove those and go with neutral colors.
Mayor Chmiel: Let me ask a question that Richard brought up. What was the intent of having those colors?
And I guess I thought of it from the same standpoint. I thought of those as racing stripes more or less. Give me
some of your input as to why.
Maleah Miller. Good evening Mayor, members of the Council. My name is Maleah Miller and I work for
the—and I am representing Taco Bell and I do do the site plan, got involved quite a bit with the whole Taco Bell
process. I am not the architect but I'll try to answer your questions as best I can. This is a standard prototype
building. This is what Taco Bell puts up. This is, it says Taco Bell and they put these up all over the nation
and I have never come into a Taco Bell myself where we've taken the banding off. I don't know, personally
it's, I can't imagine it without the color banding. It'd be very plain. Just would be a stucco building so I don't
know. That's just my own personal opinion. It'd be pretty plain.
' Mayor Chmiel: Right, we're a pretty plain town. No, I guess what my position would be is that we're looking
for something that's sort of a unique design that's coming into our community. Every perspective tenant coming
into the community has come up with a different design of buildings from their norm. This is what we're
looking for. We're unique in ourselves as a community. We have an opportunity to build this community one
1 time. We want to see it come in right. We're looking for something a We bit different than what their run of
the mill is throughout the United States. And I understand that they like to keep that and I know why, because
of uniformity. Wherever you see a Taco Bell, you know a Taco Bell.
' Maleah Miller. Now I can't say what I can do to change it because I'm not the architect but I can bring back
your comments and have the architect work with the city. City staff and maybe coming up with some sort of
compromise. Maybe toning those colors down or working within, if the city has certain standards or the PUD
has a certain standard that says this is what we want. What we desire. I'm sure they'd be flexible working with
them. All I can say is this is what the standard is and I don't know how, what we can do to change it.
' Mayor Chmiel: Yeah, and if they were to come back in with something different maybe in design, I would like
to see samples of what they're talking about. I made one mistake and I don't want to make it again with the
building that we have in town. We didn't ask for anything. After that we have and luckily it was probably the
' fast one that came in but much to our chagrin, we probably wish that it probably had not come in as it did. So
I guess what we're really looking at is to see what can be provided to us and being maybe a little more unique,
as I had said.
' Maleah Miller. I don't know how you want it, you know if we can get somehow approval for tonight and then
work with staff or how we're willing to work with this issue. Is that okay? If we work with the staff as.
t Mayor Chmiel: Well that will depend upon the rest of the Council's positioning.
Maleah Miller. Okay, and then I can have the architect then contact them and make arrangements with them.
�

City Council Meeting - September 26, 1994 1
Mayor Chmiel: Sure. And I can understand the position you're in. ,
Maleah Millar I can't say what I can do because, song.
'
Councilman Wing: Don, I'd just like to finish on that and we can move on. I think the standard is a poor
choice of words because we have been stung repeatedly by that standard and we don't have to accept it and I
don't want to accept it so the tile's got to go. The color band's got to go, otherwise I don't want to be part of it.
'
So that's simple. I don't want to compromise. I just want it out of there. Also, no posters in the windows. I
think we've talked about that before. I want to make sum that that's a condition. That there's no advertising or
posters in the windows. Other than that your building's intact. And by the way, I was in one and ate in one in
the Napa Valley area and it didn't look nothing. It wasn't even a remote resemblance of a standard Taco Bell as
'
I know it. It was 100% matching the existing shopping center in every way, including the sign, which is just a
remote little red thing that said Taco Bell. So you've got your standards but California's got their's and you're
still putting them in so that's really, that's not to say you can't, I know you can. You don't want to but I'm
'
asking you to.
Councilman Senn: Dick, I'm curious. Was that in line or free standing? You referenced a shopping center.
'
Councilman Wing: One of the McDonald's was free standing. The Taco Bell was in line.
Maleah Millar That makes a difference.
'
Councilman Wing: Yeah, I appreciate that.
Councilman Senn: That makes a big difference.
Maleah Millar In certain communities which they have certain architectural standards like A, B. C, D, and E,
then they have more direction about development...
'
Councilman Wing: I agree. I agree with that. And this does not have that, I agree.
'
Mayor Chmiel: Okay. Colleen.
Councilwoman Dockendorf: Yeah, I don't think we need to eliminate the banding but I would like to see earth
'
tones and a little more neutral tones. I must admit I haven't looked at this very deeply. I am assuming that
there are no concerns around traffic circulation. Let me see if I wrote anything. Any plans for the other piece
of land?

' Mayor Chmiel: Okay, Michael.
Councilman Mason: I don't have quite as strong a concern but I certainly know that the original Target plan
looked a whole lot different than the Target that's in town now so I do know that changes can be made and you
know, I think Target's happy to be here and I suspect that and hope that Perkins and Taco Bell will be happy to
be here too.
' Mayor Chmiel: Okay. Mark.
Councilman Wing: I sure hope they can work it out.
' Councilman Mason We'll all work it out, everyone will I'm sure.
' Councilman Senn: Please don't take this as preaching because it's not intended that way. I just find it a little
funny but I think I was the only person on the Council or the HRA to even pose these uses called out in the
contract on this. And you know, we put it in the contract and they have a right to put fast food down there.

' more you can disguise fast food. I mean I hate to say that but I mean that's a reality. You can't disguise fast
food. I mean it's standard, national building operations. It's drive thru's. It's that. I mean I agree with
Richard 100 %, you know keep the goofy banners out of the windows. I mean we've tried that on every one.
I'm not sure we've been successful on any yet but we've got it in all the conditions. But you know, I mean I
hate to say it but I mean I look at the Taco Bell building and it seems kind of soothing to me compared to the
fun and games I see down at the other end of town. I mean if I could even see the Goodyear -Abra buildings
' through all their signage, I might know what the buildings even look like. At least the signage is under control
on these puppies, or at least it appears to be. And stuff, and I just don't know where you go with it. I think
you know, let's just go on with it and get the fast food there. It's going to be there. We can fine tune it a little
bit but I don't know what we're going to do beyond fine tuning it. I mean you're not going to, and maybe I'm
' just being too practical but you're not going to get national franchises to come in and change their national
designs for a free standing store. Now Richard, if it's in line, I agree it's a whole different story because their;
rules are substantially looser but you get into free standing buildings and.
' Mayor Chmiel: I saw some rather unique free standing buildings and fast food in Phoenix over into a new area
that they're developing towards Peoria, which are rather unique in comparison to the norm of the mill. So it can
be done.
Councilman Senn: I'd love to see pictures of it Don. I mean we take pictures of these all the time all over the
country and I hate to say it, the basic elements always remain the same.

City Council Meeting - September 26, 1994 1
Maya Chmiel: But those things are there in some of the other kinds of stations that are just as we had '
Valvoline here. Some of the other companies who come into that same type of service that they're providing
has even changed some of their appearances in comparison to what we have right now. But softer. But those
things are being done. They're being done all over. So I guess when it comes, what I'm trying to say, I'm
going to have a Taco Bell, yes. I think we can have a Taco Bell but I think we also have a chance to be
selective in saying what we would really like to see. And let them come in with some other than what we're '
looking at. Okay. Any other discussion? And too, I was just looking at some of the specific one on Taco
Bell. It makes references to some of the things on here. See Sheet A -13 which we don't have. Awning it or
framed soffit details...know exactly what it's going to look like. And I don't have any idea. I would like to also
see, once this is going to be here, what it really looks like. Having pieces of whatever, samples to show what it '
is. You can visualize it, you can put it down there and yet colors don't come back in as what they normally
would be.
Councilman Wing: I've held off saying this and I, brick ain't the end of the world I mean but why are we '
bricking these up? I mean here they are right at the entry to the city, why aren't we saying, yeah. Come on in
but why are we going stucco? Why aren't we bricking these up? Why aren't we doing them classy? Why are
we doing an Eden Prairie Perkins? ,
Kate Aanenson: Well we've got pictures of that one...
Councilman Wing: Okay. So brick don't have it. '
Kate Aanenson: You can ask them to... '
Councilman Wing: Well unless we're going to totally redesign this, I think Mark's right. Fast food's fast food.
You can't cover it up. 1 guess what it boils down to is I give up but either earthen tones or no band, one or the
other. And earthen tones is a good compromise for me. '
Kate Aanenson: We think it's a compromise we can work out. I mean ... on all four sides.
Mayor Chmiel: Bob, it looks like you wanted to say something.
Bob Generous: I might have but I've forgotten. '
Mayor Chmiel: Alright. What's Council's.
Councilwoman Dockendorf: I would move that we table this until we can get the revision back looking to what ,
the building materials will be and some changes to the color tones for the Taco Bell. And I just want to
comment that I really do appreciate those sight lines, wherever it went. That helps very much and that's what
we were looking for when we, whatever thing we passed a few months ago. ,
Councilman Wing: I second that.
Maya Chmiel: Okay, it's been moved and seconded to table. Going to come back with some of those things '
that we're looking fa.
Councilman Wing: Could that include the awnings material? I

I City Council Meeting - September 26, 1994
Mayor Chmiel: Let me ask one other question. What's the time line on this for construction?
Y
' Tom Palmquist: Pursuant to the agreement with the HRA, we're to have substantial completion of certain
improvements ... by January 1 of '95.
'
Mayor Chmiel:
Or start construction. Or start of construction?
Tom Palmquist:
No, completion of.
'
Councilman Senn: Substantial completion, that means over 80% complete.
Mayor Chmiel:
HRA can also make some changes in that as well, can they not?
Todd Gerhardt:
...going to have to come back to the HRA at the next meeting and make a formal request to
modify that agreement.
Mayor Chmiel:
Yeah, I don't see any problem as far as that being considered.
Councilwoman Dockendorf. Excuse me, they have to modify the agreement because of colors?
'
Mayor Chmiel:
No. Time frame.
' Councilwoman Dockendorf. I thought, the HRA's got more power than we thought.
Councilman Senn: Silly suggestion. If I'm hearing everybody right, the only concerns I'm really hearing relate
' to exterior material so why don't we simply approve it contingent upon a review of the exterior materials and
they can buzz back in here next meeting with the exterior materials and be off and running with everything else?
Mayor Chmiel: And also maybe a little different appearance as far as structure that is concerned.
' Councilman Senn: Structural?
' Mayor Chmiel: Not structural but as such, making a design change to be a little different than the norm. Even
though you said, fast foods are fast foods, I still don't agree with it. Targets are Targets but look what we got.
We still got something much different than their norm.
Councilman Wing: I wish I could tell you what we could have gotten. I'll get pictures of that one.
Mayor Chmiel: Little late.
' Councilwoman Dockendorf: With all due respect Mr. Mayor, I'm not looking for any structural changes.
' Mayor Chmiel: Well I'm saying, with all due respect, that I do look to see something being just a little bit
different than the norm of a Taco.
Councilman Wing: Meaning a Taco Bell?

City Council Meeting - September 26, 1994 1
Mayor Chmiel: Yeah. 1
Councilman Wing: I would agree. I'd like to see that one. Well it's a cookie cutter as it is. I think it could be '
less cookie cutter. Which would be not approving on a contingency.
Mayor Chmiel: No. But anyway I guess that's at least where I'm coming from.
Tom Palmquist: Point of clarification?
Mayor Chmiel: Sure. '
Tom Palmquist: There's been comment made about the color banding. Earth tones ... if there's some rather
limited guidelines within which ... is there any additional guidance or direction to give us as we go back to Taco
Bell and try to work through this issue? I mean I'm afraid right now I don't have a firm grip on what it is that '
you might be looking for as an acceptable solution to this.
Councilman Wing: My preference is to delete the color band.
Tom Palmquist: I'm sorry.
Councilman Wing: My position is to delete the color band. Because I find that unacceptable. '
Tom Palmquist: So the preference in your mind then would be more of a separate material, perhaps...
Councilman Wing: The only other suggestion would be very, very subtle earthen tones. Very subtle.
Kate Aanenson: I think we need to see that. t
Councilman Wing: That band is, I don't know what material it is. It could be any material to match the
building, match the roof. We still have a Taco Bell and if that color band is a deal breaker, there's something
wrong with the system. This city's got too much to offer. I'm not afraid of that. Subtle tones, I'm real happy '
with. On Wendy's we went down to earthen tones, or bright colors and there wasn't a question and that's
another franchise. They didn't even balk at that. So earthen tones Kate, if you can define that and I mean, Kate
I don't know what you're thinking but when I say earthen tones I mean really subdued They would be indian '
reds and really getting down to the earth colors, although they might still be the greenish - brownish, they would
be very. very subdued Very subdued. I would accept that.
Mayor Chmiel: In other words you're saying not as loud. Okay. We have a motion on the floor with a second '
to table this. Any other discussion? it
Councilwoman Dockendorf moved, Councilman Wing seconded to table the preliminary and final plat and '
site plan review for Chanhassen Retail Center 3rd Addition so the applicant can bring back some
additional information. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously.
I(F). APPROVAL OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH T.F. JAMES COMPANY. '
