Chanhassen Business Center
March 1, 1995

PROPOSAL /SUMMARY
On January 13, 1992 the City Council approved the preliminary plat for the Chanhassen
Business Center as shown on the attached site plan. The PUD was amended in February of
1993 to allow for a church as a permitted use.
The Chanhassen Business Center is an industrial/office park 93.7 acres in size. The original
plat consisted of 12 lots and 2 outlots. The ultimate development for this proposal was to
have a total of 700,000 square feet of building area with a mix of 20% office, 25% industrial
and 55% warehouse.
The developers of the CBC are proposing to revise their plat to provide for a few more lots,
reduce the amount of grading and relocate the storm water pond. The second component of
the request is preliminary plat approval for 7 lots and one outlots. This will be the second
addition of the business center. The proposed mix of uses will remain the same - 20% office,
25% manufacturing and 55% warehouse. The new proposal will ultimately have 603,500
square feet of building with 60% impervious surface.
The revised PUD will be designed to follow the development and design guidelines established
in the original PUD. The installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Trunk Highway 5
and Audubon Road is expected to be necessary in the next few years. A condition in the
development contract for Chanhassen Business Center Phase I required the applicant to provide
the City with financial security to guarantee payment of the developer's share of the traffic signal
for the entire development with Phase II construction scheduled this will now be required.
Staff believes the revisions to the plat, the reduction of grading and relocation of the storm water
pond are well founded and staff is recommending approval of the revised PUD and the
preliminary plat for Chanhassen Business Center Second Addition.
BACKGROUND
The site is triangular in shape bounded on the north by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Pacific
Railroad, on the east by Audubon Road, and on the south is Bluff Creek Estates subdivision
which is zoned RSF. Lake Susan Hills 3rd Addition is located to the east of Audubon Road and
is zoned PUD -R, to the west Timberwood Estates Subdivision zoned RR, and to the north of the
subject site the property is zoned A -2.
The first phase of final plat approval included two lots. The National Weather Service (NWS)
was built on Lot 1, Block 2 and the Jehovah Witness Church was built on Lot 1, Block 1. One
of the original conditions of the PUD was that the perimeter landscaping was to be installed as
well as the trail. Due to the extensive costs of grading and utility extension, the developers
sought relief from this requirement. When the first two uses were approved, the perimeter
Chanhassen Business Center
March 1, 1995
Page 3
landscaping was required for these two uses only. The Jehovah Witness has completed their
perimeter landscaping. The NWS building has posted surety for the completion of perimeter
landscaping this spring. Staff will be adding a condition on this phase that all required perimeter
landscaping be completed with this phase. This landscaping will be consistent with the approved
landscaping plan for the original PUD.
The request for final plat includes 7 lots, with the remaining portion left as an outlot until a
future date when it will be platted. There are two lots being created where development will not
occur; Outlot A, which will be approximately 14.3 acres and Outlot B which will be
approximately 7.8 acres. A storm water retention pond is being proposed on a portion of Outlot
A. The balance of the parcel will be used to protect Bluff Creek, associated flood plain and the
only significant stand of trees found on the site. Outlot B, located farther to the west, is
physically separated from the main portion of the site by Outlot A. Outlot B is currently being
farmed. It is not feasible to access this parcel from Audubon Road without causing significant
environmental damage. There are no plans to develop Outlot B at this time. It is envisioned that
this would be combined with other parcels guided for industrial use and accessed from Galpin
Boulevard.
One of the major changes with this plat besides the grading is the relocation of the storm water
pond. It was originally proposed to be located adjacent to Outlot A where the city is buying the
lot. The pond has now been relocated to the north of the previous location, adjacent to the
railroad tracks. Relocating the pond will reduce the amount of grading required. The perimeter
landscaping and trail have been modified in this area to reflect the change in the plat. The intent
of the trail was to loop in the southern property limits and loop back to Lake Drive West and
extend up to the railroad tracks. The trail shown extending to the south needs to be relocated
so that it is adjacent to the Bluff Creek Estates subdivision. This portion of the trail will be built
at a later date.
The site plans reflect a required 50 foot landscaping buffer strip along Audubon Road and a 100
foot landscaping buffer along the southern property line. The higher profile, more office- oriented
buildings will be oriented toward Audubon Road. Near the central portions of the site and the
western edge, higher density development is shown. This would include Lot 6, Block 1 of the
Second Addition and future lots along Audubon Road.
The industrial/office zoning standard for impervious surface is a maximum of 70 percent. The
plan has less intensity than the previous plan and meets the standards of the zoning district.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The development standards will remain the same as previously approved with the PUD.
a. Intent
Chanhassen Business Center
March 1, 1995
Page 4
The purpose of this zone is to create a PUD light industrial/office park. The use of the PUD
zone is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more
sensitive proposal. All utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for
development shall proceed through site plan review based on the development standards outlined
below.
b. Permitted Uses
The permitted uses in this zone should be limited to light industrial, warehousing, and office as
defined below. The uses shall be limited to those as defined herein. If there is a question as to
the whether or not a use meets the definition, the City Council shall make that interpretation.
1. Licht Industrial The manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling, packaging,
or testing of goods or equipment or research activities entirely within an enclosed
structure, with no outside storage. There shall be negligible impact upon the surrounding
environment by noise, vibration, smoke, dust or pollutants.
2. Warehousing Means the commercial storage of merchandise and personal property.
3. Office Professional and business office, non - retail activity.
c. Setbacks
In the PUD standards, there is the requirement for landscape buffering in addition to building and
parking setbacks. The landscape buffer on Audubon Road is 50 feet, south of Lake Drive and
100 feet along the southern property line. The PUD zone requires a building to be setback 50
feet from the required landscape buffer and public right -of -ways. There is no minimum
requirement for setbacks on interior lot lines.
The following setbacks shall apply:

where deemed appropriate.
g. Signage
1. All freestanding signs be limited to monument signs. The sign shall not exceed eighty
(80) square feet in sign display area nor be greater than eight (8) feet in height. The sign
treatment is an element of the architecture and thus should reflect with the quality of the
development. The signs should be consistent in color, size, and material throughout the
development. The applicant should submit a sign package for staff review.
2. Each property shall be allowed one monument sign located near the driveway into the
private site. All signs require a separate permit.

be introduced at the development's entrance monument and will be used throughout.
4. Consistency in signage shall relate to color, size, materials, and heights.
h. Lighting
1. Lighting for the interior of the business center should be consistent throughout the
development. The applicant's proposal is consistent with the lighting standards for the
PUD ordinance. The plans do not provide for street lighting. As with previous industrial
parks /roadways, the City has required the developer to install street lights throughout the
street system. The street lights should be designed consistent with the existing lighting
along Audubon Road.

2. A decorative, shoe box fixture (high pressure sodium vapor lamps) with a square
ornamental pole shall be used throughout the development area for area lighting.
3 Lighting equipment similar to what is mounted in the public street right -of -ways shall be
used in the private areas.
4. All light fixtures shall be shielded. Light level for site lighting shall be no more than 1/2
candle at the property line. This does not apply to street lighting.
Tree Preservation/Landscaping
The PUD landscape plan identifies plant material locations along the entire perimeter of the CBC,
the proposed Lake Drive roadway and two typical planting plans for the individual lots. Phase
I planting shall occur upon completion of the utility construction for Phase I. The landscaping
as required in the PUD ordinance shall act as a buffer screen to adjoining properties.
As currently planned, the City will take title to Outlot A and permanently protect and maintain
this area. There is a large stand of mature trees approximately 6 acres in size. The applicants
are planning to preserve the existing mature stand of trees which include oak, ash, basswood and
ironwood, ranging in size from new growth to 30' caliper. There are no other significant stands
of trees found on the property.
PARK AND RECREATION
A looped trail system is being proposed for the north side of Lake Drive. This trail system will
tie into the proposed trails for Heron Drive, Lake Drive West and access under the railroad
tracks. The applicant will be required to pay the park dedication fee and trail fees as per city
ordinance. No development shall occur on Outlot A and it shall be preserved as open space.
The trail should be modified in Outlot A to follow the eastern edge of Bluff Creek Estates. The
completion of the trail should be made when this portion of the site is platted. The trails,
however, are not proposed to be constructed at this time since all of the trails are located in a
future phase. Security to guarantee easements and future construction of trails should be included
in the development contract for the Second Addition.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
On June 14, 1993, the City Council approved a development contract for site grading of the first
phase of this development. The site was only partially graded due to the magnitude of
earthwork, uncertainties of the future phases and the financial burden of grading the entire site.
The grading plans for this Second Addition proposes rough grading the remaining portions of
Phase I and replacing the temporary storm pond with a permanent ponding facility. Customized
Chanhassen Business Center
March 1, 1995
Page 10
grading may still be required in the future on individual sites as the parcels develop into their
specific uses. However, the bulk of the grading will be completed with this project. Staff
assumes the earthwork on the site balances and therefore no material will be exported from the
site. If there is excess material to be hauled off -site, staff recommends the applicant submit a
detailed haul route to the City for review and approval.
A storm drainage system has been designed to accommodate the entire site. Only portions of
the system (Lots 1 through 7 and A and B Streets) will be constructed at this time. Individual
storm sewer service leads are proposed for each lot to convey runoff to the proposed permanent
storm water pond on Outlot A of the Second Addition. The proposed storm water pond has been
designed in general accordance with the city's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) for both
water quality and quantity functions. Therefore, the water quality fees and the water quantity
fees will be reduced accordingly. Staff will review the storm water and ponding calculations to
determine the final SWMP water quantity fees. The applicant should provide the city with
updated storm sewer and ponding calculations for the entire site including Phase I. The overall
development should be designed for a 10 year storm event and ponding calculations for a 100
year storm event - 24 hour duration. The city's SWMP indicates a discharge rate of 2.5 cfs. from
the permanent pond. The final pond design appears to be fairly close to the city's design
requirements. However, the applicant should verify that the pond design will have 3:1 side
slopes with a 10:1 bench at the normal water level for the first one foot depth of water or 4:1
side slopes overall.
The existing storm sewers in Lake Drive West which discharge into the temporary pond will
need to be modified to convey the runoff to the new permanent pond on Outlot A (Second
Addition).
UTILITIES
Municipal utilities are available to the site. In conjunction with the city's Upper Bluff Creek
Trunk Sewer and Water Improvement Project, the city installed utilities along Lake Drive West.
The plans propose on extending utilities from Lake Drive West to service the new lots in the
Second Addition. Detailed street and utility construction plans and specifications in accordance
with the city's latest edition of Standards and Specifications Detailed Plates will be required for
review and formal approval by the City Council in conjunction with the final platting procedures.
In addition, the applicant will be required to enter into a development contract with the city and
provide the city with the necessary financial security and to guarantee installation of the site
improvements in compliance with the conditions of approval.
STREETS
Lake Drive West is partially constructed from Audubon Road to Lot 2, Block 1, Chanhassen
Business Center (National Weather Service site). A temporary cul -de -sac was constructed at the
' Chanhassen Business Center
March 1, 1995
Page 11
end of Lake Drive West to accommodate turning movements. The applicant is not proposing to
extend Lake Drive West at this time. The plans propose on extending a northerly street from
Lake Drive West into two cul -de -sacs to service the Second Addition. The street design is in
accordance with the city's commercial standards and the necessary right -of -way is being
' provided. Street grades will also fall within the city's guidelines. In conjunction with the first
phase, a condition was placed in the development contract requiring street lights be installed
throughout the development. At that time, staff was requested by the applicant to minimize the
number of street lights from an economic standpoint with the initial phase. A condition in the
development contract required that the remainder of the street lights be installed with the second
phase. The location of the street lights were to be approved by the city. Therefore, with this
phase additional street lights will be required along Lake Drive West and the new streets
proposed within the Second Addition. Street lights should be installed at 150 - 200 foot
intervals. The street lights shall be designed consistent with the existing lighting on Audubon
' Road (low - profile rectilinear - rectangular style lighting fixture with 250 -watt sodium pressure
lamps mounted on a 25 -foot high corten steel pole).
' The installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Trunk Highway 5 and Audubon Road is
expected to be necessary in the next few years. A condition in the development contract for
' Chanhassen Business Center Phase I required the applicant to provide the City with financial
security to guarantee payment of the developer's share of the traffic signal for the entire
development with Phase II construction. This proposal will now activate this condition. Staff
will have to estimate the developer's share of the local cost participation of the signal on a
percentage basis based upon traffic generation from full development of this site in relation to
the total traffic volume on Audubon Road. This estimate will be included in the development
contract security requirements.
EROSION CONTROL
' The grading plan proposes erosion control measures throughout the site. Staff recommends that
Type III erosion control fence be installed and maintained along the westerly perimeter of the
grading limits adjacent to the Bluff Creek corridor. The remaining erosion control measures may
be the city's Type I erosion control fence. Erosion control measures and site restoration shall
be in accordance with the city's Best Management Practices Handbook.
PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE
' On Wednesday, March 1, 1995 the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the revised
PUD and preliminary plat for the CBC 2nd Addition. The Planning Commision recommended
approval as recommended by staff.
Chanhassen Business Center

RE: Chanhassen Business Center Second Addition, City of
Chanhassen, Carver County (City #91 -4 PUD)
Dear Ms. Aanenson:
We have reviewed the site plans (received February 2, 1995) for the
above - referenced project (Section 15, T116N, R23W) and have the
following comments to offer:
1. The project site does not contain any Public Waters or Public
Waters Wetlands; therefore, no DNR permit is required.
2. The site does not appear to be within a shoreland or
floodplain district.
However, it appears there are wetlands on the site that are
not under DNR Public Waters Permit jurisdiction. You should
be aware that the project may be subject to federal and local
wetland regulations. The Department may provide additional
comments on the project through our review of applications
submitted under these other regulatory programs.
3. It appears that most of the stormwater is routed through
settling basins, which is good. We would object to having the
stormwater routed directly to a wetland or waterway.
4. There should be some type of easement, covenant or deed
restriction for the properties adjacent to the wetland areas.
This would help to ensure that property owners are aware that
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Chanhassen
may have jurisdiction over the areas and that the wetlands
cannot be altered without appropriate permits.
5. The following comments are general and apply to all proposed
developments:
a. Appropriate erosion control measures should be taken
during the construction period. The Minnesota
Construction Site Erosion and Sediment Control Planning
Handbook (Board of Water & Soil Resources and Association
of Metropolitan Soil and Water Conservation Districts)
guidelines, or their equivalent, should be followed.

b. If construction involves dewatering in excess of 10,000
gallons per day or 1 million gallons per year, the
contractor will need to obtain a DNR appropriations
permit. You are advised that it typically takes
approximately 60 days to process the permit application.
C. If construction activities disturb more than five acres
of land, the contractor must apply for a stormwater
permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (Dan
Sullivan at 296 - 7219).
d. The comments in this letter address DNR - Division of
Waters jurisdictional matters and concerns. These
comments should not be construed as DNR support or lack
thereof for a particular project.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please contact me at
772 -7910 should you have any questions regarding these comments.
Sincerely,

Planning Commission Meeting - March 1, 1995
28. Conservation easement shall be established beyond 30 feet of the rear of the buildings
along the north side of the development.
29. Fencing for screening is not allowed within the development.
30. The applicant shall provide additional landscaping to account for the expansion of the
footprint down the hill and to provide additional vegetation in areas acceptable to staff.
31. Preliminary plat shall be public noticed for the City Council meeting.
All voted in favor, except Mancino who opposed, and the motion carved with a vote of 4 to
1.
Scott: And Commissioner Mancino, your summary.
Mancino: My no has nothing to do with what the applicant has brought before us. It has to
do with looking at a preliminary plat, a revised one that came in 3 years after the first one
and it seems tonight that the neighbors in the area did not get notice of it. And that's why
I'm against it.
PUBLIC HEARING:
PUD AMENDMENT FOR CHANHASSEN BUSINESS CENTER TO SUBDIVIDE
OUTLOT C INTO 7 OFFICEIMANUFACTURING/WAREHOUSE LOTS, AND ONE
OUTLOT ON PROPERTY ZONED PUD AND LOCATED WEST OF AUDUBON ROAD
SOUTH OF THE TWIN CITIES & WESTERN RAILROAD, AND NORTH OF LAKE
DRIVE WEST, CHANHASSEN BUSINESS CENTER SECOND ADDITION.
ENGELHARDT AND ASSOCIATES.
Kate Aanenson presented the staff report on this item.
Scott: Okay, any questions or comments for staff? Dave, comments?
Hempel: No initial comments.
Scott: Okay. Would the applicant like to make a presentation please?
Bill Engelhardt: Mr. Chairman, members of the commission, I'm Bill Engelhardt. I'm
representing the owners of the project which is the Audubon 92 Partnership. I think I can
make this very brief, unless you have some direct questions then we can address those.
..
Planning Commission Meeting - March 1, 1995
Initially the area you see outlined in orange was platted as Outlot C in the 1st Addition. It's
now a replat of Outlot C. It's been replatted into 6 lots with two cul -de -sacs up in this
particular area and the remainder of the property will be now Outlot A for the 2nd Addition.
Outlot D stays as Outlot D of the 1st Addition. Lot 1, Block 2 and Lot 1, Block stay as part
of the 1st Addition and Outlot A and Outlot B to the west stay as part of the 1st Addition.
Part of your requirements is to show an overall development plan. This is the master plan for
the development so you can see that in the future Outlot A could be subdivided into 5
additional lots. Outlot B could be subdivided into two additional lots. Lot 1 in both areas
will stay the same. Outlot A would stay the same and Outlot B would stay the same. There's
no additional work with those in those areas. We did list all of the, the building covers, the
building square footages and we're a little bit below I think what the average was under the
first part of the approval for this property. The main reason for coming back through the
Planning Commission and through City Council with a revised plan and basically a revised
PUD, are two issues. One was that they're now proposing smaller lots. The market is being
driven, in fact there's 2 or 3 of these lots that have are real close to being sold so they've got
more of a market for that type of lot. The other main thrust for redoing some of the work
here was to reduce the amount of grading. This is a mass grading job and originally there
was a pond proposed down in this area with realignment of the flood plain area and there was
a cut for taking material out to compensate for the flood plain filling. There will be no work
now in this area, in the flood plain or in these slopes or in the wooded areas other than the
trail. We're going to leave that alone. We're generating... off of this site and we're utilizing
the natural low areas as our ponding area, and we're backing up our buildings to this pond.
That's really the main... We felt that looking at the cost, that there was a substantial amount
of money to be saved by not... Landscaping buffer on the south, would remain the same as
originally proposed. There's a stand of trees out there. Not a real good stand of trees but
they're staying ... The landscaping will be done on this cul- de- sac ... We propose to build the
pond at this time and we may be doing some of the landscaping... Right now the street, it's
got a temporary cul -de -sac to this point. In the future you would probably come in with a
plat for Outlot A, the 2nd Addition. We could then construct this street and do any additional
work. That's, in a nutshell, that's pretty much it. If you have questions.
Scott: Questions or comments?
Bill Engelhardt: We do agree with the conditions that you set forth. The 12 conditions. The
park fee issue was clarified.
Aanenson: Yeah, I think it's the trail fee.
Bill Engelhardt: Or the trail fee. The trail fee was clarified... Item number 9, the installation
of traffic signals and surety for that. We don't necessarily disagree with it but, and maybe we
67
' Planning Commission Meeting - March 1, 1995
work with staff a little bit. We're not quite sure how to arrive at what share this piece of
' property would be contributing to a traffic signal ... so again, I think that's an issue that we can
work with the staff on. Item number 15. We don't have a problem with it and I heard
tonight that we're talking about the perimeter landscaping for this area.
' Aanenson: Correct.
' Bill Engelhardt: And I don't see a problem with that because again ... by next month or the
month after, you're going to have 2 or 3 site plans.
Aanenson: I guess just for clarification. That perimeter would include the streetscape on
Lake Drive and then you're internal streetscape and then adjacent to the railroad tracks.
Bill Engelhardt: Okay, that's fine.
' Scott: Any questions or comments from commissioners for the applicant? Okay. Hearing
none. This is a public hearing. Can I have a motion and a second to open the public
hearing?
' Mancino moved, Nutting seconded to open the public healing. All voted in favor and the
motion carried. The public healing was opened.
Scott: Let the record show that we do not have any members of the general public who wish
to speak, so can I have a motion and second to close the public hearing.
Mancino moved, Nutting seconded to close the public healing. All voted in favor and the
motion carried. The public hearing was closed.
Scott: Comments please, Matt.
Ledvina: I would agree. I think the proposal is an improvement. I remember when the
National Weather Service built their site and I was wondering, where was all the dirt going.
And it was part of the grand scheme here and all I knew that this happened before my time
and all I knew that there was all kinds of dirt going everywhere and I didn't understand it.
And if we can reduce that, I'm very happy about that so. Other than that, I don't have any
other comments.
Scott: Okay, Nancy.
68
Planning Commission Meeting - March 1, 1995
Mancino: Just a couple questions, and again this goes back to history. Why was this PUD
approved with such a long cul -de -sac? Any particular reason?
Aanenson: Well we looked at that. There's a natural feature, maybe it's easier to talk off of
this. There's a significant stand of trees... there's no way really to save the tree ... this piece
needs to be accessed another way.
Mancino: Yeah, I thought of more coming around.
Aanenson: A loop? We looked at that and we based on the fact that the type of traffic that's
generated is really determining the type of probably more truck type traffic so we felt that
that makes sense. It is a long cul -de -sac. We did do an EAW with the original application
that came in to kind of review those issues. We felt that probably the best way to serve it is
to leave it at a cul -de -sac. We tried it down to the south.
Mancino: ...residential ones.
Aanenson: Right, you've got residential south. You've got the railroad tracks to the north so
really, and then the degregation that you do going across, we just felt that it really didn't
warrant that.
Mancino: Okay. I have another question for you Kate. I went over to the neighborhood that
abuts the Weather Station and from the back of those homes, it's not an ugly site but it's not a
pretty site. It was different than what I thought we had approved on the parapet walls
covering the HVAC units, etc and you can clearly see that.
Aanenson: You'll be able to see the tops of all those buildings.
Mancino: Because you're down so low?
Aanenson: Yes. And that was an issue that we raised. Originally it came in with just a
fence and we thought that was pretty contrite because no matter what, you're still going to see
over the fence. So we said, basically all we can do with this plan is try to do something
architecturally to make it, you're going to see on the top of all those. Eventually as we get
more landscaping in, the Weather Service has not completed all the, we do have surety in
place for the completion of their landscaping. That should be additional and with this trail
hopefully, and more landscaping, we can try to mitigate some of this but same with on, I hear
that same complaint on Audubon. You are looking down on top of this and it is a hard thing
to do. Unless you can put a complete dog house, and we felt that was even adding to it. The
best that we can do, and we've talked to the other people that are coming in on this site, is try
W e
Planning Commission Meeting March 1 1995
g ,
to blend the rooftop. It's going to be an issue on all these site plans when you see them, is
try to blend some of this, the heating and ventilating equipment to match the roof line.
Because I'm not sure if putting something around there is always going to be the best solution
either, because you're still going to see on top.
Mancino: Can we...
Aanenson: Well that's an issue for a lot of the builders too is the maintenance of when paint
peels off and then that can become unsightly too. So it's something we're going to have to
struggle with as these come in.
Mancino: Because it's really, I mean I don't think you'll have a problem with the lot west of
' it because of the existing tree line.
Aanenson: Yes. And the lots just north of that, maybe will screen some more of it too. I
' don't know. From Audubon anyways but it's an issue. We've talked to the people who are
looking at those lots and try to see what they, leave it to the creative architect to see if they
can come up with some other solutions. But it's a tough issue.
' Mancino: That's my concern. The other thing is, how do you know what the building
coverage is going to be on these lots?
Aanenson: What we asked them to do is provide a typical building. Based on that they
generate parking standards. They came up with a typical user would require this much square
' foot. Therefore, this much parking is required and that's how we came up with those
numbers. This is a similar exercise we went through when the first one came in and we did
the EAW. We needed to know how much building space and how much traffic would be
generated and do the environmental. So they went through the same exercise because we
wanted to get an idea if this, by making the lots smaller, if that increases the amount of
impervious surface because we told them they had to stay within that same framework and as
it turns out, it looks like we're actually underneath that so I think it's going to be pretty good.
Bill Engelhardt: We had the same problem. Basically the same question. How do you
determine it so ... and I have a sketch here but I don't even want to show it to you because it's
not real clean but we did go through the exercise of laying out the buildings and the parking
lot and meeting all the setbacks to see what could be done.
Mancino: So is this the biggest building that 1
gg g at cou d be on that lot.
' Bill Engelhardt: Basically.
1 70
11
Planning Commission Meeting - March 1, 1995
Aanenson: Yeah, it's maximum. Yeah, because again they have to stay within the 60 %.
Mancino: And Outlot, tell me about Outlot B. Where is it being accessed from and how is
that all fitting into the scheme of things?
Bill Engelhardt: Outlot B eventually is going to do one of two things. It could be tied in to
Outlot A as one big park area or it would be tied in with the property immediately to the
south.
Aanenson: And what happens is, there's a big wetland that runs through this portion here.
Even though ... so it could be tied into that. Bluff Creek flattens out quite a bit there and
there's a wide spans of, if you look on the zoning map. Well I'm not sure, it shows on the
comprehensive plan. Bluff Creek is fairly wide through there.
Mancino: So when you say it goes south, okay.
Aanenson: Right straight south.
Mancino: And this is industrial?
Aanenson: Yes.
Mancino: And what about this? Is this...
Aanenson: Correct. You have an electrical substation down there and that area is guided for
industrial.
Mancino: And where does it stop, here?
Aanenson: Yes. Right at Lyman. But actually you have a large buffer there that's naturally
there because Bluff Creek through that area is about 300 feet wide. Or even wider. It
flattens out right through there so that's kind of the natural transition through there.
Mancino: And how are these people going to get access? I mean that's another time I guess
Aanenson: It would come off of Lyman as it goes north. That's the way to access that. Tie
that together.
Mancino: I don't have any other questions.

Planning Commission Meeting - March 1, 1995
Scott: Okay, Ron.
Nutting: I have nothing further to add. I think it makes a lot of sense.
Scott: Sounds good to me.
Mancino: Oh, I just have one other thing, I'm sorry. Can we add to this PUD, since now
we're changing it a little bit.
Scott: Senior housing.
Mancino: Yeah, senior housing. We would like to put senior housing on Outlot B ... anyway.
Throughout the language here and I know that we have updated it during the Highway 5 task
force, etc. When we talk about outdoor storage and screening of everything. Instead of just
putting landscaping, we put now year round landscaping. Can some of this be updated in the
current language without it being a hassle to either the applicant or the city?
Aanenson: It's interesting you bring that up because that dialogue came up meeting with
some potential users on the site. Now, having said that, this is a bowl. It sits down quite a
bit, which is one of the nice reasons it makes a good industrial park. It's topographically,
you're seeing less sight lines of the building so in effect it's screening right there. I
personally would like to leave some flexibility to the people that are looking at these lots to
be creative and see how they're going to screen it. In some instances I think we're going to
have site lines based on positioning of buildings. But the intent is that we don't have outdoor
storage. And if they are, then they have to be screened and I'd like to leave that flexibility up
to individual developers to see how that's accomplished because like I say, I think some of
them will be, depending on buildings on sited, that will screen. Maybe in some instances
they will have to do landscaping. Maybe some of them will have to be materials that block
or tilt up panels that match the building that's going to be screened. But I'm not sure we can
cover every, based on the types of users that may be out there, that we can cover all that.
Scott: Well and you know, it's a PUD and we'll be getting site plans on all the many
buildings.
Mancino: Well I know but...PUD contract and the...
Aanenson: Well right. Well yeah we can. I'm taking this same framework, and if we want
to modify this, we're redoing the framework. I think if it's something you want to revisit. I
guess what I'm saying is, the intent is that we screen it and we could list some ways to
' accomplish that but if you want to do that. I guess I'd say, I'd like to see, and we've already
72
Planning Commission Meeting - March 1, 1995
just had this dialogue with people that are looking at lots. I've said if you can demonstrate to
our satisfaction, the Planning Commission, the City Council, that you won't be able to see it,
do perspectives from here. If I'm standing at this position and this position, that you won't be
able to see it. Then that may be effectually screened.
Mancino: If you feel that people will be receptive enough and there's enough teeth in that
intent, fine with me.
Aanenson: Yeah. It always was our intent that it be screened. Again, I think a lot of this is
going to be accomplished based on the fact of the topography. But you do want to make sure
from Highway 5 and that internal road that it is screened.
Mancino: And from Audubon. I mean heavy screening.
Aanenson: And that was always the intent that we have the higher type uses along Audubon
that the more office component be facing that and those that have the more, the heavier trip
generators or more outdoor storage, the more internal type uses.
Mancino: You convinced me.
Scott: Can I have a motion please?
Nutting: I would make the motion that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the
PUD amendment and preliminary plat of 7 lots and one outlot for Chanhassen Business
Center, 2nd Addition as shown on the plans dated February 21, 1995 and subject to the
conditions as outlined in the staff report dated March 1, 1995.
Mancino: Second.
Scott: Thank you. It's been moved and seconded that we pass the staffs recommendations
along as stated in the staff report. Is there any discussion?
