PROPOSAL /SUMMARY
There are three actions being requested with this application, a subdivision, a conditional use
permit and site plan review for a day care facility. The site is zoned IOP, Industrial Office
' Park and bordered by McGlynn Road to the north, Coulter Boulevard to the south and
Audubon Road to the east. The lot area of the day care facility site is 1.15 acres. It is
located in an Industrial Office Park District. At the present time, the site is visible directly
from Highway 5 and has full access from McGlynn Road. A day care is a conditional use in
the IOP District.
' The subdivision request consists of replatting an 8.79 acre outlot into one lot of 1.15 acres.
The Children's World building is proposed on this lot. One outlot of 7.64 acres will be
reserved for future development. Staff is not aware of any pending developments for the
outlot. The subdivision request is a relatively straightforward action.
The site plan is for the Children's World Learning Center and is reasonably well developed.
The building is proposed to utilize face brick on all four sides accented by columns, a
synthetic plaster band, a canopy, and has a pitched roof.
Parking for vehicles is located on the north side of the building. Vehicles will be screened
from Highway 5 by berms and landscaping materials as well as future buildings which will be
constructed between McGlynn Road and Highway 5. The site landscaping is generally of
high quality, however, there are certain areas such as the south and west portion of the site
that are lacking in vegetation. A variety of trees and bushes must be used. A meandering
berm of 3 to 4 feet in height runs along the edge of the site.
' Staff regards the project as a reasonable use of the land. The overall design is sensitive to
S p J
the Highway 5 corridor's image. Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending approval
' of the site plan, without variances, a conditional use permit and subdivision requests for this
proposal.
1 BACKGROUND
On August 8, 1988, the City Council approved subdivision #88 -13 of 69.7 acres into one lot
' and two outlots. Lot 1 became the site for the McGlynn Bakeries building which was
approved as a permitted use in the IOP District concurrently with the subdivision. Outlots A
and B were reserved for future development. Outlot B is being proposed for subdivision into
one lot and one outlot with this application.

GENERAL SITE PLAN /ARCHITECTURE
The proposed Children's World building, with an area of 8,044 square feet, will be situated
parallel to and south of McGlynn Road. The site is bordered by McGlynn Road to the north
and Audubon Road to the east. Access to the building is proposed from McGlynn Road.
Parking will be located to the north between the building and McGlynn Road. A meandering
berm with landscaping, 3 to 4 feet in height, is proposed to be installed along the perimeter of
the site to provide screening.
The Children's World building is located 111 feet from the north, 30 feet from the east, 45.33
feet from the south, and 81.67 feet from the west property line.
Materials used on the building will consist of face brick on all four sides. The entry will
have a canopy with columns and a synthetic plaster band detailing. The building's
architecture is tastefully designed and meets the standards of the site plan ordinance
requirements.
This development falls within the Highway Corridor Overlay and must comply with the
district's design standards in addition to the Industrial Office Park Standards. The purpose of
the overlay district is to promote high - quality architectural and site design through improved
development standards with the corridor. The design standards should create a unified,
harmonious and high quality visual environment. The plan and design of the proposed
development meets the intent of the overlay district with the following features:
The building will be one story and the architectural style is unique to the Pillsbury
building but will fit in. The building will provide a variation in style through the use
of columns and a pitched roof as well as a pitched canopy. The building is utilizing
exterior materials that are durable and of high quality. The applicant must show the
colors proposed to be used on the building.
The site slopes easterly, and grading of the entire site is required. The existing site
grade ranges from 982 in the southwest corner to 966± on Audubon Road. The trees
on the site are a mixture of significant and insignificant trees in size and quality.
Developing the site will result in the loss of these trees. The landscaping plan
provides a variety of plant materials that are massed where possible, particularly along
McGlynn Road and Audubon Road. The berm and landscaping materials will be
continuous along the perimeter of the site. The plant materials are repetitious in some
locations and variable in others. Proposed plant materials are indigenous to
Minnesota. A curb is required along the perimeter of the green space area. All
planting areas are adequate in size to allow trees to grow. Additional plantings will be
required.

• A parking lot light plan is required. The plan should incorporate the light style and
height. Staff is also requiring a more detailed sign plan which should include lighting
method.
' The site plan shows the trash enclosure located west of the day care building screened
by a detached structure utilizing wood doors with siding and trim to match the
building. Current state statutes require that recycling space be provided for all new
buildings. The area of the recycling space must be dedicated at the rate specified in
Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) 1300.4700 Subp. 5. The applicant should
demonstrate the required area will be provided in addition to the space required for
' other solid waste collection space. Recycling space and other solid waste collection
space should be contained within the same enclosure.
' SITE PLAN FINDINGS
In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's
' compliance with the following:
(1) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides,
' including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that
may be adopted;
(2) Consistency with this division;
(3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by
'
minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping
with the general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing or
'
developing areas;
( 4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural
site features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship
'
to the development;
(5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features,
'
with special attention to the following:
t provision
a. An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and
of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general
community;
'
b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping;
Children's World Learning Center
August 2, 1995
Page 5
C. Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression
of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent
and neighboring structures and uses; and
d. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives
and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the
public streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior
circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and
arrangement and amount of parking.
(6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision
for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light
and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations
which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses.
Finding: The proposed development is consistent with the City's Highway 5 corridor
design requirements, the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, and the site plan
review requirements. The site design is compatible with the surrounding development.
It is functional and harmonious with the approved development for this area.
WETLANDS
There do not appear to be wetlands on the parcel, however, staff does need verification from
the applicant on this issue.
GRADING
The entire site is proposed to be graded and leveled off for the building and parking lot. The
site ranges from 983.0 in the southwest corner of the lot to 968.0 in the northeast corner.
The building is proposed to be approximately 7 feet higher than Audubon Road. The
proposed grading will require removal of the existing trees on the site. McGlynn Road as
proposed is a paper street. The right -of -way was platted with the first phase of McGlynn
Park. The street (McGlynn Road) will need to be upgraded to full City standards in
conjunction with this development proposal.
DRAINAGE
The site drains naturally to the easterly side of the property out to Audubon Road. The
grading proposes maintaining the existing drainage pattern. The front parking lot will drain
to proposed catch basins in the parking lot. Storm sewer will need to be extended from
Audubon Road along McGlynn Drive to service this site. The plans propose a low area and a
catch basin to convey runoff from the west side of the building south of the parking lot. This
I Children's World Learning Center
August 2, 1995
' Page 6
could be a potential problem for the children playing in the area. Staff recommends creating
' a drainage swale outside of the children's play area along the westerly property line which
will require grading into the outlot. This will provide a safe and dry area for the children's
tot lot. Storm sewer calculations for a 10 -year and 100 -year storm event of 24 -hour duration
' shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to final plat approval.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP)
' The City has adopted a Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) that serves as a tool to
protect, preserve and enhance water resources. The plan identifies, from a regional
' perspective, the storm water quantity and quality improvements necessary to allow future
development to take place and minimize its impact to downstream water bodies. In general,
the water quantity portion of the plan uses a 100 -year design storm interval for ponding and a
' 10 -year design storm interval for storm sewer piping. The water quality portion of the plan
uses William Walker, Jr.'s Pondnet model for predicting phosphorus concentrations in shallow
water bodies. An ultimate conditions model has been developed at each drainage area based
on the projected future land use, and therefore, different sets of improvements under full
development were analyzed to determine the optimum phosphorus reduction in priority water
bodies.
' Storm Water Quality and Associated Fees
' The SWMP has established a water quality connection charge for each new subdivision based
on land use. Dedication shall be equal to the cost of land and pond volume needed for
treatment of the phosphorus load leaving the site. The requirement for cash in lieu of land
' and pond construction shall be based upon a schedule in accordance with the prescribed land
use zoning. Values are calculated using market values of land in the City of Chanhassen plus
a value of $2.50 per cubic yard for excavation of the pond.
' A regional stormwater quality pond is located south of the Pillsbury facility just north of the
railroad tracks which pretreats stormwater runoff from the Pillsbury site and Audubon Road.
' The proposed SWMP water quality charge for industrial development such as this is $2,507
per acre. Since this parcel will be served by the storm sewer from Audubon Road the City's
surface water quality connection fees should be waived if the applicant extends the storm
' sewer through the site to the westerly property line along McGlynn Road.
I Storm Water Quantity and Associated Fees
The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an
' average city -wide rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land
acquisition, proposed SWMP culverts, open channels and storm water ponding areas for
runoff storage. Industrial developments will have a storm water quantity connection charge
Children's World Learning Center
August 2, 1995
Page 7
of $4,360 per developable acre. The total developable area of the property is 1.15 acres;
therefore, the proposed development would then be responsible for a water quantity
connection charge of $5,014. This parcel may have previously been assessed for Audubon
Road improvements such as storm sewer. Therefore, the connection charge should be re-
evaluated and reduced accordingly based on previous storm sewer assessments. Staff will
review the water quality connection fees based on the final construction plans and the
previous assessments for this parcel from Audubon Road.
EROSION CONTROL
An erosion control plan has been incorporated into the grading and drainage plan. Staff finds
the plan in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook for erosion
control measures.
All disturbed areas shall be seeded and mulched or sodded immediately after grading to
prevent erosion and sedimentation. Protection around catch basins such as hay bales or silt
fence is also required until the pavement is installed.
UTILITIES
Back in 1988, Phase I of Audubon Road (McGlynn Park) was constructed. Phase II of the
development which was never constructed included McGlynn Road (looped street). In
conjunction with Audubon Road construction, utility stubouts were extended in the direction
of McGlynn Road for future extension. In order to service this development, utilities will
need to be extended along McGlynn Road to the west property line (approximately 200 feet).
Extension of the utility improvements is typically done by the applicant /developer. The
applicant may petition the City to install the utilities and construct the street; however, the
City's bonding capacity is limited as well as the number of projects that are in front of this
will not allow construction until at least 1997 or later. In addition, the project would have to
be expanded to include additional properties. The City cannot legally order a public
improvement project for the sole interest of one property owner.
If the applicant installs the utility improvements they will receive credit from the City for the
oversizing costs of the utility lines. The credit could be applied to existing assessments
against the parcel. Credit would be given for the cost difference between an 8 -inch
watermain and the proposed 10 -inch watermain. The applicant will be required to enter into a
development contract for construction of the public street and utility improvements and to
guarantee compliance with the conditions of approval. Detailed construction plans and
specifications in accordance with City standards will be required for staff review and formal
City Council approval in conjunction with final plat consideration.

STREETS
The site borders Audubon Road on the east and McGlynn Road on the north. Access to the
site is proposed from McGlynn Road. The street does not exist at this time but there is
public right -of -way dedicated to the City. The street was proposed to be constructed under
the Phase II development plan of the McGlynn Park proposal. Construction plans and
specifications were prepared but never executed. Without upgrading McGlynn Road to full
City industrial standards (36 feet wide face -to- face), the site does not have access due to
grade differences along Audubon Road and therefore, should be considered premature in
development.
An 8 -foot wide concrete sidewalk exists along the west side of Audubon Road adjacent to the
site as well as boulevard trees. The applicant shall be responsible for replacing any sidewalk
or boulevard trees damaged during construction of the site improvements. The applicant
should post security escrow (letter of credit or cash escrow) to guarantee boulevard
restoration. This will be added in the development contract.
PARKIN G /INTERIOR CIRCULATION
The City's parking ordinance for day care centers requires a design capacity of one stall for
each six children. The applicant is providing 26 parking spaces. The total number of
children enrolled at the day care may not exceed 146.
Access to the site is proposed through one curb cut on McGlynn Road. Staff is concerned
with the lack of parking area and proper circulation through the site based on the land use.
The plans indicate 16 employees and up to 146 children occupying the area. The parking lot
is providing 26 spaces which meets the ordinance but that leaves approximately only 10
spaces for drop -off and pick -up which seems low given the proposed land use.
Another concern staff has is with the circulation in the parking lot. With only one access
buses will not be able to turn around and cars coming and going will be limited to one
ingress /egress point. Staff believes another access point should be added on the east end of
the parking lot on McGlynn Road approximately 90 feet west of the intersection of Audubon
Road and McGlynn Road.
The Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) requires that handicapped parking spaces be
provided at the rate of one handicapped space per every 50 spaces in the lot(s). This
calculates out to 1 space. The submitted site plan shows three handicapped parking spaces.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has specific requirements for van spaces which
currently are not part of the MSBC. These requirements are not enforced by the Inspections
Division, but should be incorporated into the site plan. Site approaches are regulated by the
Children's World Learning Center
August 2, 1995
Page 9
MSBC, and are not detailed on the site plan. Curb cuts, width, texture and slope are details
that must be included on the site plans.
Landscaping is proposed along the north and west side, adjacent to McGlynn Road and
Audubon Road, to screen the parking area. A meandering landscaped berm, 3 to 4 feet in
height, is proposed to be installed along the perimeter of the site. Staff is recommending
additional landscaping materials be added to screen the site along the south and west portions
of the site to provide additional screening.
LANDSCAPING
The landscaping plan is well conceived. The applicant is providing a variety of plantings
throughout the parking lot and especially along the perimeters of the sites. The plant
materials include ornamental conifer, deciduous trees, and shrubs. Plantings, as well as the
design and material used on the building, have been done tastefully. Staff is recommending
some modification to the landscaping plan. The incorporation of a meandering berm with
landscaping along the perimeter of the site. The parking area is setback 30 feet from the
property line, which is in compliance with the ordinance requirements.
The site has an existing woods covering 0.67 acres (58 %) of the 1.15 acre lot. The woods
are a mix of native species including elm, ash, cottonwood, and box elder. Generally, it is a
young woods with 2 special trees, a 28 inch elm and a 24 inch box elder, within it.
Considering the proposed plans, it would not be possible to preserve those trees.
The applicant is required to preserve a minimum canopy area of 20% or 0.23 acres. The
applicant has proposed to remove all existing vegetation. Code requires a replacement
planting of 1.2 times the amount of required canopy being removed. The applicant must
provide 11 trees of replacement plantings as well as 9 trees to meet the 20% minimum
canopy area. The parking lot also requires a total of 3 trees to meet minimum code
requirement. At a minimum, 23 trees would be required for this development.
The landscape plan lists 27 trees to be planted on site. However, staff recommends 5 more
trees be planted along the west portion of the site and 6 trees along the southern edge from
the city's approved primary or secondary deciduous. Increased plantings along the western
edge would not only screen future neighboring developments, but also provide increased
shade for the play area in the summer and protection from westerly winds and sun.
LIGHTING
Lighting locations have not been illustrated on the plans. Only shielded fixtures are allowed
and the applicant shall demonstrate that there is no more than %z foot candles of light at the
property line as required by ordinance. A detailed lighting plan should be submitted when
Children's World Learning Center
August 2, 1995
Page 10
building permits are requested. Street lights consistent with Audubon Road will be required
along McGlynn Road at 200 feet intervals, staggered from one side to the other.
SIGNAGE
The applicant has submitted a signage plan. One ground low profile business sign is
permitted per lot. The area of the sign may not exceed 80 square feet and a height of 8 feet.
The applicant is showing a 6 foot tall sign with an area of 24 square feet.
Also, one wall mounted sign shall be permitted per street frontage. The total display area
shall not exceed 15% of the total area of the building wall upon which the signs are mounted.
No sign may exceed 90 square feet. The applicant is showing a wall mounted sign of 12.5
square feet.
The applicant must obtain a sign permit prior to erecting the signs on site. One stop sign
must be posted on the driveway at the exit point of both sites. A detailed sign plan
incorporating the method of lighting, acceptable to staff should be provided prior to
requesting a building permit.

PARK AND TRAIL DEDICATION FEES
The City is requiring that park and trails fees be submitted in lieu of park land. Fees are to
be paid in accordance to city ordinance. One third of the fees will be required at the time of
final plat recording.
SUBDIVISION
The subdivision proposal will replat an 8.79 acre outlot into one lot of 1.15 acres, which will
contain the Children's World building, and one outlot of 7.64 acres, which will be reserved
for future development. Staff is not aware of any pending developments for the outlot. The
subdivision request is a relatively straightforward action. The following easements are either
illustrated on the plat or should be acquired:
1. Standard drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of all lots.
2. Dedication of public right -of -way.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Day care centers are permitted in the IOP District as a conditional use. The following
constitutes staffs review of this proposal against conditional use permit standards.

Architectural standards required by the Highway 5 corridor study and
the site plan requirements are being adhered to.
4. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned neighboring uses.
FINDING - There will be no measurable impacts to the existing or planned
neighboring uses. This use will have traffic patterns that should
' combine trips with existing businesses.
5. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets,
' police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer
systems and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and services
provided by the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed

FINDING - Full city services are available to be extended to this site. Roads
' serving the site, which will include McGlynn Road, are fully capable of
handling the access needs of this proposal.
' 6. Will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and services and will not be
detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
' FINDING - Staff is not aware of any excessive requirements for public facilities.
However, we do believe that there is always a need for a day care
center within any office industrial park. The day care use is a good
' auxiliary use for the industrial park.
7. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of
' operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare
because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, rodents,

FINDING - There are no adjoining residential areas.
' C. Each center shall obtain all applicable state, county, and city licenses.
' FINDING - Staff will ensure compliance with this condition prior to issuing a
Certificate of Occupancy.
Based upon the foregoing findings, staff is recommending that the conditional use permit be
approved with appropriate conditions.
I PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE
On August 2, 1995, the Planning Commission reviewed and unanimously approved this
' application. The following issues were raised and discussed:
Issue: The Planning Commission was concerned that as the outlot surrounding the
' proposed day care develops, driveways and parking lots do not surround the
perimeter of the day care lot, especially the playground area.
'
Finding:
This will be accomplished through negotiations with future developers. At this
point, it is difficult to predict the type of design and layout of future buildings
adjacent to the subject site.
'
Issue:
The number of trips on Audubon Road and turning onto Highway 5 was a
concern raised at the Planning Commission meeting.
'
Finding:
Some time in the future, a traffic light will be required along the intersection of
Highway 5 and Audubon Road. As in past practices, the city will require that
'
any parcel which develops, based upon their traffic generation, will have to
contribute to the cost of the light.
'
Issue:
The applicant pointed out that the elevation along the easterly edge of the
property drops fast towards Audubon Road making it difficult to put in a berm.
'
Finding:
Currently, the proposed trees consist of Crab Apple only along the east portion
of the site. Staff is recommending a mixture of deciduous as well as
'
coniferous trees to compensate for the berm.
Issue:
The monument sign is proposed to have a metal base. This design is not
'
compatible with the building.
Children's World Learning Center
August 2, 1995
Page 15
Finding: One of the conditions of approval has been amended to require the applicant to
use materials compatible with the architecture of the building. In this case,
brick is the main element on the exterior of the structure, hence, the base of the
site will have to be constructed from brick.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following motion:
I. SITE PLAN REVIEW
"The City Council approves Site Plan Review #95 -14 as shown on the site plan received July
5, 1995, subject to the following conditions:

SUBJ: Children's World Learning Center 95 -14 SUB, 95 -14 Site Plan, and 95 -2 CUP
Land Use File No. 95 -26
Upon review of the revised preliminary plat drawings prepared by Schoell and Madson, Inc. and
date June 29, 1995 we offer the following comments and recommendations:
WETLANDS
There do not appear to be wetlands on the parcel, however, staff does need verification from the
applicant on this issue.
GRADING
The entire site is proposed to be graded and leveled off for the building and parking lot. The site
ranges from 983.0 in the southwest corner of the lot to 968.0 in the northeast corner. The
building is proposed to be approximately 7 feet higher than Audubon Road. The proposed
grading will require removal of the existing trees on the site. McGlynn Road as proposed is a
paper street. The right-of-way was platted with the first phase of McGlynn" Park. The street
(McGlynn Road) will need to be upgraded to full City standards in conjunction with this
development proposal.
DRAINAGE
The site drains naturally to the easterly side of the property out to Audubon Road. The grading
proposes maintaining the existing drainage pattern. The front parking lot will drain to proposed
catch basins in the parking lot. Storm sewer will need to be extended from Audubon Road along
McGlynn Drive to service this site. The plans propose a low area and a catch basin to convey
�I
' Robert Generous

' Page 2
' runoff from the west side of the building south of the parking lot. This could be a potential
problem for the children playing in the area. Staff recommends creating a drainage swale outside
of the children's play area along the westerly property line which will require grading into the
outlot. This will provide a safe and dry area for the children's tot lot. Storm sewer calculations
for a 10 -year and 100 -year storm event of 24 -hour duration shall be submitted to the City for
review and approval prior to final plat approval.
' SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP)
' The City has adopted a Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) that serves as a tool to protect,
preserve and enhance water resources. The plan identifies, from a regional perspective, the storm
water quantity and quality improvements necessary to allow future development to take place and
minimize its impact to downstream water bodies. In general, the water quantity portion of the
plan uses a 100 -year design storm interval for pondmg and a 10 -year design storm interval for
' storm sewer piping. The water quality portion of the plan uses William Walker, Jr.'s Pondnet
model for predicting phosphorus concentrations in shallow water bodies. An ultimate conditions
model has been developed at each drainage area based on the projected future land use, and
' therefore, different sets of improvements under full development were analyzed to determine the
optimum phosphorus reduction in priority water bodies.
' Storm Water Quality and Associated Fees
The SWMP has established a water quality connection charge for each new subdivision based
' on land use. Dedication shall be equal to the cost of land and pond volume needed for treatment
of the phosphorus load leaving the site. The requirement for cash in lieu of land and pond
construction shall be based upon a schedule in accordance with the prescribed land use zoning.
Values are calculated using market values of land in the City of Chanhassen plus a value of
$2.50 per cubic yard for excavation of the pond.
r
C�
I �
A regional stormwater quality pond is located south of the Pillsbury facility just north of the
railroad tracks which pretreats stormwater runoff from the Pillsbury site and Audubon Road. The
proposed SWMP water quality charge for industrial development such as this is $2,507 per acre.
Since this parcel will be served by the storm sewer from Audubon Road the City's surface water
quality connection fees should be waived if the applicant extends the storm sewer through the
site to the westerly property line along McGlynn Road.
Storm Water Quantity and Associated Fees
The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average
city -wide rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land acquisition,
proposed SWMP culverts, open channels and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage.
Robert Generous
July 26, 1995
Page 3
Industrial developments will have a storm water quantity connection charge of $4,360 per
developable acre. The total developable area of the property is 1.15 acres; therefore, the
proposed development would then be responsible for a water quantity connection charge of
$5,014. This parcel may have previously been assessed for Audubon Road improvements such
as storm sewer. Therefore, the connection charge should be re- evaluated and reduced accordingly
based on previous storm sewer assessments. Staff will review the water quality connection fees
based on the final construction plans and the previous assessments for this parcel from Audubon
Road.
EROSION CONTROL
An erosion control plan has been incorporated into the grading and drainage plan. Staff finds
the plan in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook for erosion control
measures.
All disturbed areas shall be seeded and mulched or sodded immediately after grading to prevent
erosion and sedimentation. Protection around catch basins such as hay bales or silt fence is also
required until the pavement is installed.
UTILITIES
Back in 1988, Phase I of Audubon Road (McGlynn Park) was constructed. Phase II of the
development which was never constructed included McGlynn Road (looped street). In
conjunction with Audubon Road construction, utility stubouts were extended in the direction of
McGlynn Road for future extension. In order to service this development, utilities will need to
be extended along McGlynn Road to the west property line (approximately 200 feet). Extension
of the utility improvements is typically done by the applicant/developer. The applicant may
petition the City to install the utilities and construct the street; however, the City's bonding
capacity is limited as well as the number of projects that are in front of this will not allow
construction until at least 1997 or later. In addition, the project would have to be expanded to
include additional properties. The City cannot legally order a public improvement project for the
sole interest of one property owner.
If the applicant installs the utility improvements they will receive credit from the City for the
oversizing costs of the utility lines. The credit could be applied to existing assessments against
the parcel. Credit would be given for the cost difference between an 8 -inch watermain and the
proposed 10 -inch watermain. The applicant will be required to enter into a development contract
for construction of the public street and utility improvements and to guarantee compliance with
the conditions of approval. Detailed construction plans and specifications in accordance with
City standards will be required for staff review and formal City Council approval in conjunction
with final plat consideration.

' STREETS
The site borders Audubon Road on the east and McGlynn Road on the north. Access to the site
is proposed from McGlynn Road. The street does not exist at this time but there is public right -
of -way dedicated to the City. The street was proposed to be constructed under the Phase II
development plan of the McGlynn Park proposal. Construction plans and specifications were
' prepared but never executed. Without upgrading McGlynn Road to full City industrial standards
(36 feet wide face -to- face), the site does not have access due to grade differences along Audubon
' Road and therefore, should be considered premature in development.
Access to the site is proposed through one curb cut on McGlynn Road. Staff is concerned with
' the lack of parking area and proper circulation through the site based on the land use. The plans
indicate 16 employees and up to 146 children occupying the area. The parking lot is providing
26 spaces which meets the ordinance but that leaves approximately only 10± spaces for drop -off
and pick -up which seems low given the proposed land use.
Another concern staff has is with the circulation in the parking lot. With only one access buses
' will not be able to turn around and cars coming and going will be limited to one ingress /egress
point. Staff believes another access point should be added on the east end of the parking lot on
McGlynn Road approximately 90 feet west of the intersection of Audubon Road and McGlynn
' Road.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS
1. All areas disturbed as a result of construction activities shall be immediately restored with
seed and disc - mulched or wood -fiber blanket or sod within two weeks of completion of
' each activity in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. All
catch basins shall be protected with silt fence or hay bales until the parking lot is paved.
' 2. The applicant shall construct McGlynn Road and install public utilities along McGlynn
Road to the west property line of the site. All utility and street improvements shall be
constructed in accordance with the latest edition of the City's Standard Specifications and

Recycling Space. Current state statutes require that recycling space be provided for all new buildings.
The area of the recycling space must be dedicated at the rate specified in Minnesota State Building Code
(MSBC) 1300.4700 Subp. 5. The applicant should demonstrate the required area will be provided in
addition to the space required for other solid waste collection space. Recycling space and other solid
waste collection space should be contained within the same enclosure.
Existing Foundation. The existing foundation must be disposed of off site at an approved landfill
Recommendations:
1. Provide recycling space as required by Minnesota State Building Code 1300.4700. Demonstration
of compliance may be provided on construction documents.

SUBJ: Tree Preservation/Removal, Children's World Learning Centers
Applicant's site has an existing woods covering .67 acres (58 %) of the 1.15 acre lot. The
woods are a mix of native species including elm,'' ash, cottonwood, and boxelder. Generally,
it is a young woods with 2 special trees, a 28 inch elm and a 24 inch boxelder, within it.
Considering the proposed plans, it would be not be possible to preserve those trees.
Applicant is required to preserve a minimum canopy area of 20% or .23 acres. The applicant
' has proposed to remove all existing vegetation. Code requires a replacement plantings of 1.2
times the amount of require canopy being removed. The applicant must provide 11 trees of
replacement plantings as well as 9 trees to meet the 20% minimum canopy area. The parking
' lot also requires a total of 3 trees to meet minimum code requirement. At a minimum, 23
trees would be required for this development.
' The applicant's landscape plan lists 27 trees to be planted on site. However, staff
recommends more trees be planted in play area of the development. Increased plantings along
the western edge would not only screen future _neighboring developments, but also provide
' increased shade for the play area in the summer and protection from westerly winds and sun.
Recommendations
1. Increase tree plantings along southern half of western edge of site.

Sharmin Al -Jaff presented the staff report on this item.
Mancino: Thank you very much. Any questions for staff at this point?
Skubic: The second access that ... close to the intersection. Was that... properly?
Hempel: Madam Chair, members of the commission. That was a slight concern to us but
being that it's going to be a looped street back down south into the future Coulter Boulevard,
the amount of traffic generated, depending on the user that comes in, shouldn't be too
excessive. If we give them another opportunity to go south to get to another road out to
Audubon Road as well. What we proposed in there I believe was an access point like 90 feet
back from the center line of the intersection that would give enough room for turning vehicles
and turning movements in and out of the site so we're fairly comfortable with the second
access point at that location.
Peterson: I had a difficult time physically finding this spot, as a couple of us already
discussed. On your original map, if you go back to it, with the overall, Arboretum and
Audubon. Where is it in relation to Pillsbury?
Al -Jaff: North of Pillsbury.
Peterson: On the same road that Pillsbury is on, correct?
41
Plannin g Commission Meeting - August 2, 1995
Al -Jaff: Approximately I want to say 300 feet north of Coulter Boulevard. Have the signs
' been changed from Coulter?
Peterson: Pillsbury's on McGlynn as it is now. So Pillsbury would be where on that map?
' Al -Jaff: Pillsbury ould be right here.
rY g
' Peterson: Okay. Got it.
' Mancino: On the south side of Coulter, which is now McGlynn. Any other questions?
Thank you. Does the applicant or their designee wish to approach the Planning Commission?
' Doug Stahl: Good evening, I'm Doug Stahl with Schoell & Madson. We're the engineers on
the project, and also I believe Regional Director, is that correct?
Mary Terrass: Yes, that's correct.
Doug Stahl: From Children's World if you have any questions on the operation of the
' facility. I guess ... if I could just go down through the recommendations.
Mancino: Every single one of them?
' Doug Stahl: Well.
' Nutting: Just the ones you disagree with.
Mancino: Before I say yes, how many recommendations are there?
' Doug Stahl: There's 11 on the site plan. The only one I guess I would like to address is
probably number 3 with the trees. We certainly don't have any problem planting additional
' trees. The one that's probably on the landscape, if I could have the overhead turned back on.
I need to point out one thing that was missing on that. Is the, along Audubon there is the 2
' inch maple trees in there.
Mancino: I'm glad you're bringing that up because I was going to ask.
Doug Stahl: I just realized that looking at that tonight so I guess that is, even though it is not
on the site, it's going to get an additional feature to it on the south and on the west side with
' additional trees and we wouldn't have any problem putting them in. Maybe if we could
possibly do some that are along the west side, put them along the south and the west. The
' 42
Planning Commission Meeting - August 2, 1995
line up I believe there is crab trees along the east side of the building. I'm kind of doubling
up with the maple trees. We can certainly leave them. We can certainly add more trees. I
don't see a problem with that. We had a concern, we added some berms in the front. We
may potentially have a problem trying to get berms along the east side between Audubon and
the building just because of the grade different has got, I believe a 25 foot setback. Parking...
on a building, I think we're about 5 feet above Audubon for elevation. And that 25 feet,
coming up at 5:1, we just try to get a 4 to 5 foot berm in there, there wouldn't be room to get
it in there.
Mancino: So that maybe instead of the berming, the additional crab apples would help with
buffering.
Doug Stahl: Exactly, and we would certainly leave them there for that. For that purpose. I
guess unfortunately we do not have any materials with me. Our architect is in Chicago ... but
as stated, we're looking at a brick face on that and a darker brown roof material. I assume
this was done by the architect and I think the color would be fairly close to what he's looking
at. It looks like that is very similar to what you have behind you. Apart from that, the
McGlynn Road utilities and street, that is still one thing that Children's World is addressing
with the seller to see what the arrangements will be in getting that built because it will
obviously need to get built before final plat or the agreement would have to be in the works
before final plat would be entered in... If the seller is not done with their agreement in getting
those in, it will probably jeopardize this project. It would be a tremendous cost to be carried
strictly by the Children's World... Again, we're still working with that with the seller of the
project, of the parcel. Again, we would have to ... The subdivision is fairly straight forward.
Dividing up a I acre parcel and leaving the remainder as an outlot ... they would sell it for. I
guess apart from that, any of the staff recommendations there as far as calculations or seeding
and mulch, that's certainly all incorporated into the plan.
Mancino: Thank you. Any questions for Mr. Stahl? I would just like to make a
recommendation that we do ask for materials to be presented at Planning Commission, and
that's part of your requirement to bring those so we can see them. So I strongly advise you to
bring them to City Council.
Doug Stahl: I certainly can.
Aanenson: They won't approve it without.
Mancino: Well, usually we don't approve it without either.
Aanenson: They were told to bring it tonight so.
43
Planning Commission Meeting - August 2, 1995
Doug Stahl: I guess we can, if you'd like to see them on the 16th, I can certainly bring that
' then. If you'd like to put me on.
Mancino: Okay. I mean what, everyone will talk to that but a suggestion that I have is that
' you bring them over to City Hall in the next few days and commissioners can stop and see
them and if they have any questions or any comments, they can make them to staff prior to
the City Council meeting. That's just a suggestion that's out there and we'll wait to hear how
' the other commissioners feel. Thank you. Does anyone else want to participate in the
presentation that's here from Children's World?
' Doug Stahl: I'm sorry, I didn't address the driveway I guess and we have no, we can
certainly work out putting another access in there. To give the loop wouldn't be a problem.
' Mancino: Great, thank you. Can I have a motion to open this to a public hearing?
' Nutting moved, Peterson seconded to open the public healing. All voted in favor and the
motion canied. The public hearing was opened.
' Mancino: This is a public hearing. Anyone who would wish to come up and address the
Planning Commission on this site review plan, please do so now. Seeing none, may I have a
motion to close the public hearing.
Peterson moved, Nutting seconded to close the public hearing. All voted in favor and the
motion carried. The public hearing was closed.
' Mancino: Comments from commissioners. Jeff.
G
n
Farmakes: I'd like to see their signage be incorporated into the architecture of their building
better rather than just a pylon. I realize the materials in the roof..
Doug Stahl: Excuse me, can I address that?
Farmakes: Address your comments to the Chair.
Mancino: Can you wait until we all have had comments and if there are any other questions,
I will certainly tell you to come up. Thank you.
Farmakes: I have no problem with the rest of the signage or the size of your sign. I just
think that in the past we have asked that the signage be incorporated into the architecture of
the building. My expertise is not landscaping but it seems to me, except for the front face of
44
Planning Commission Meeting - August 2, 1995
the building, the entrance, there's very little shrubbery around the building itself. From
Audubon. There are large trees but they're not going to be large for quite some time. I'm
just wondering, concentration of shrubbery to the north, seems to be substantial and the rest
of the building seems to be pretty open. So I'll leave it to the other members who spend more
time with the landscaping. ...to that building looks like an appropriate building and the
signage looks fine and I have no further comments.
Mancino: Thank you. Mike.
Meyer: No additional comments from me.
Mancino: Ron.
Nutting: I don't have anything to add other than it appears to me that under the site plan
review, recommendation number 3, from what I'm hearing, that should be revised given the
topography of the site. That the berm not so much be the necessity but that the applicant
work with staff to ensure that adequate screening is provided through additional trees along
that side of the building. That can be handled quite easily in the motion. That's all.
Peterson: No comments.
Mancino: Bob.
Skubic: No comments.
Mancino: Okay. I had a couple questions. I was concerned, from a planning point of view
earlier and talked it over in my own head and other people actually asked about having a, I
know that it is a permitted conditional use in an IOP, having a daycare and my concern was
that it's on Audubon and I don't know what else is going in that outlot and so I had some
concerns about, is this the right place for a daycare. I know that Early Beginnings, that
buffers Highway 5 is at the end of a cul -de -sac so that it doesn't have trucks running to the
north or all around the building. And my only concern, and I'm looking at staff to help me,
is to make sure that as the rest of the outlot is developed, that we don't have driveways
surrounding the perimeter of the daycare lot. That what abuts the daycare is, or else we get
more setback or ask for more buffering because kids are going to be out playing on the south
side of the daycare and on the west side and I know that there is a vinyl fence that's going to
be up and 6 feet tall and knuckle to knuckle something. But anyway. So I don't know if
that's part of the recommendation. I'm not sure how to handle it so I'm asking some direction
from staff.
45
' Planning Commission Meeting - August 2, 1995
Aanenson: Dave Hempel and I had this conversation. This is a little bit different when we're
' looking at this parcel because we're looking at an unknown. Normally when you look at
something this big, we come in with a subdivision plat. This one's kind of coming in piece
by piece, which obviously is a concern to the Children's World, as they've indicated, because
' it's onerous on them now to put the road in. Normally you have a development that it kind of
goes in and it's an assessed project or something like that, so they kind of have to carry the
freight so I think until something else happens, maybe this project is, may have to wait until
something else come along. If there's something else better to help carry that cost of the
road. On the other issue we raised that didn't get in the staff report is the light. I mean that's
' a dangerous intersection right now on Audubon and certainly similar to Galpin. But it's a
dangerous location and when we did the EA for the other industrial park to the south, which
we dust looked at a project on earlier tonight, we did require that they participate in funding
' towards that light. At Audubon, similar, I think we should put in a condition in here that any
parcels in this development, based on their traffic generation, should also contribute towards
the light at Audubon because it will be a safety issue getting in and out of this park. Not on
' Audubon but getting back out onto TH 5, which there will be significant traffic movement.
As Dave indicated too, this movement, probably a lot of this is going to the school or users
will have the opportunity to get down to Coulter, which will be a collector street, east /west
when that's developed but if this goes ahead of that, it will be a short term problem getting in
and out of the plat until that light's in place. So I think one thing we should do is amend the
development contract to include that. But I share your concern about what the rest of this,
' this is something. We're not doing, and normally we see the whole subdivision with kind of
an understanding of doing a PUD. Right now it's zoned industrial so we don't have to rezone.
The other ones that we've done, we require rezoning so we were, we had the flexibility to say
' let's do a PUD and have an understanding of what's going in there. This we're kind of doing
piecemeal and I share your concern with that. We want to make sure that there are
compatible uses so I think we understand what the issue is, and to make sure that we don't
' just dump all the parking adjacent to this and that there be building or landscaping so those
people using the playground have the most of their playground area, as far as amenities. Is
that what your concern is?
' Mancino: Yeah. That's what the concern is, or you know.
' Aanenson: And I think maybe we can accomplish that by communicating that to the
developer of the property too.
' Mancino: Okay, terrific. Thank you. That takes care of it. Around the perimeter of the
daycare center is a sidewalk. Is that correct? Is that what I'm seeing?
' Al -Jaff: Correct.
1 46
Planning Commission Meeting - August 2, 1995
Mancino: This whole thing is a sidewalk so that there are no foundation landscaping
plantings around the building? Just in front?
Al -Jaff: It actually runs around the building, yes. And what you see in red is the parameter
of the building itself.
Mancino: Okay. And you had suggested some more landscaping on that west side and on
that south side.
Al -Jaff: Correct.
Mancino: Six trees on I think the west and 5 additional on the south side to give again, a
little more buffering between their play area and what develops in that outlot.
Al -Jaff: Correct.
Mancino: Thank you. I have no other comments. May I hear a motion?
Nutting: I'll make the motion that, I guess three. Well, one at a time.
Mancino: Yes, you're right. Three motions.
Nutting: Handle it one at a time. First motion, Planning Commission recommends approval
of Site Plan Review #95 -14 as shown on the site plan received July 5, 1995 subject to the
conditions as stated in the staff report with the following modifications. That under condition
number 3, that the applicant work with staff in determining the, I'll say it first, the correct
amount of landscaping /trees that are necessary to achieve what staff was looking to achieve
with the berm effect. If the berm is in fact not possible given the existing topography. And
for that motion, I believe that's all that I have.
Mancino: Is there a second?
Farmakes: Would you entertain an amendment?
Nutting: Yes.
Farmakes: Friendly amendment. Ask that the applicant be, comply with their signage with
their architecture.
Nutting: Yes. I'll accept that.

' Mancino: August 28th. And I am very sorry Mr. Stahl. I said that you could, you had a
comment that you wanted to make about the sign. Would you like to make that at this point?
'
Doug tahl: Yeah are doing the Children's World u in Woodbury and around the
g g p rY
bottom of the sign was the brick. You know almost like a brick planter around the sign and
that's very possible can be done here.
' Aanenson: That's the objective is to have it match the architecture of the building.
Doug Stahl: So they would, what I was going to say is that they have one up in Woodbury
' that may be very similar to this.
Mancino: Good. That would be well advised to put that, have that revision for City Council.
' Thank you.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Farmakes moved, Meyer seconded to note the Minutes of the
' Planning Commission meeting dated July 19, 1995. All voted in favor and the motion
carried.
' CITV COUNCIL UPDATE:
Aanenson: The Council approved the second reading of what we call the glitch amendment,
' which is the overall code updates. They approved the final plat for the 45 lots at Oaks at
Minnewashta. And they have had a pre- construction meeting so I believe they'll be up there
grading shortly. They also approved the extension for the Olivewood Addition, which is 9
' lots on Minnewashta. That one's having, they're having a little bit hard time getting good
prices on that since it's a small subdivision. They also approved the Perkins site plan. They
tabled action on the buffer ordinance. There was pretty good discussion. Members of the
' Builders Association and a number of builders were at the meeting to discuss the concerns
they have. The Council directed staff to re -work some of the issues based on cost. I think
they still felt strongly about the streetscape and the transition between industrial but maybe
' not between residential. So actually the Builders Association is going to come up with a draft
of their own and we'll come up with our draft and we'll see what happens between the two.
' Farmakes: Any citizens showing up to round off this...? No?
' Aanenson: I think that's something that we can certainly incorporate. I think that issue was
raised too. The citizens aren't involved in that.
