Executive Summary for Preliminary and Final Plat to Subdivide 1.56
Acres into 2 single family lots with a Variance to allow a double frontage
lot and Vacation of a portion of Santa Fe Trail, La Haye Addition
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The applicant is proposing to subdivide 1.56 acres into 2 single family lots. The property
is zoned RSF, Single Family Residential District. The site contained a single family home,
which has been demolished. Access to the site is gained via an existing private street off of
Great Plains Boulevard.
An abandoned right-of-way is located south of the subject site. The applicant is requesting
vacation of the right-of-way. Staff is recommending approval of the vacation with the
condition that a drainage and utility easement be maintained over the vacated. Approval of
the subdivision will be contingent upon approval of the vacation.
The variance in this application is to allow proposed Lot 2 to have two street frontages,
which is prohibited by ordinance. This variance will allow this parcel to gain access off of
Great Plains Boulevard rather than Frontier Trail. Staffis recommending approval of the
variance.
The average lot size is 34,145 square feet with a resulting density of 1.28 units per acre.
The site is located west of Frontier Trail and at the northeast comer of the intersection of
Great Plains Boulevard and Santa Fe Trail. Both lots meet the minimum area, width, and
depth requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The site contains a bluff along the northeast
comer. The required setbacks will be maintained from the edge of the bluff. The site has
mature trees which the applicant is making an effort to preserve.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Planning Commission are recommending approval of the subdivision. The
recommendation is located on page 11 of the attached staff report. The Planning
Commission minutes conceming this request are contained in item lb.

standards outlined in the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Ordinance, If it meets these
standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
The City's discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the
proposed project meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance. The City has a
relatively high level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation
from established standards. This is a quasi-judicial decision.

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is proposing to subdivide 1.56 acres into 2 single family lots. The property is zoned
RSF, Single Family Residential District. The site contained a single family home which has been
demolished. Access to the site is gained via an existing private street off of Great Plains Boulevard.
An abandoned right-of-way is located south of the subject site. The applicant is requesting vacation
of the right-of-way. Staff is recommending approval of the vacation with the condition that a
drainage and utility easement be maintained over the vacated portion (the vacation of the right-of-
way requires City Council action only). Approval of the subdivision will be contingent upon
approval of the vacation.
The variance in this application is to allow proposed Lot 2 to have two street frontages, which is
prohibited by ordinance. This variance will allow this parcel to gain access off of Great Plains
Boulevard rather than Frontier Trail. Staff is recommending approval of the variance. This issue is
discussed in detail later in the report.
The average lot size is 34,145 square feet with a resulting density of 1.28 units per acre. The site is
located west of Frontier Trail and at the northeast comer of the intersection of Great Plains

Boulevard and Santa Fe Trail. Both lots meet the minimum area, width, and depth requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance. The site contains a bluff along the northeast comer. The required setbacks
will be maintained from the edge of the bluff. The site has mature trees which the applicant is
making an effort to preserve.
In reviewing this plat, staff worked with the applicant to correct the street system in the area. The
current turnaround area, which the private street comes off of, is a convoluted mix of multiple
driveways and irregular shaped pavement. In an effort to correct this non-standard turnaround
area, the applicant is proposing to create a hammer head turn around.
In summary, staff believes that the proposed subdivision is well designed. Minor revisions will be
required. We are recommending that it be approved with a variance to allow a double frontage lot
with conditions outlined in the staff report.
BACKGROUND
On April 15, 2003, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved a preliminary plat with a
variance and a street vacation on the subject site for a two lot subdivision. The layout consisted of
two lots. Lot I faced the private street and Lot 2 faced Frontier Trail. After reexamining the
proposal and layout, the applicant withdrew the application.
Proposed new layout Original Layout approved April 15, 2003
La Haye Addition
September g22, 2003

PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT
The applicant is proposing to subdivide a 1.56 acre site into 2 single family lots. The density of the
proposed subdivision is 1.28 units per acre. Both lots exceed the minimum 15,000 square ft. of
area, with an average lot size of 34,154 square feet.
Both proposed lots meet the minimum width and depth requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. A
bluff occupies the east portion of proposed Lot 1. The ordinance requires all structures to maintain
a 30 foot setback from the top of the bluff. The plans indicate that this setback can be
accommodated and no grading is proposed within that area.
Staff notes that the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and generally consistent
with the Zoning Ordinance.
WETLANDS
There are no wetlands on this site.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP)
Based on the proposed developed area of 1.57 acres, the water quality fees associated with this
project are estimated at $1,490 and the water quantity fees associated with this project are
estimated at $3,686. The applicant will not be assessed for areas that are dedicated outlots. No
credit will be given for temporary pond areas. At this time, the estimated total SWMP fee, due and
payable to the City at the time of final plat recording, is $5,176.
There is no storm water infrastructure installed or proposed on the subject property or within the
Frontier Trail right-of-way. For this reason, this property and the properties downstream are not
capable of accommodating increased runoff rates and volumes. Storm water calculations should
be submitted to demonstrate that the proposed subdivision maintains existing runoff rates and
volumes.
Impervious surfaces should be minimized to the greatest extent possible due to the lack of storm
water infrastructure. This includes the construction of Alternate A (Hammerhead Turnaround)
instead of Alternate B (Complete Circle).
The applicant should dedicate a drainage and utility easement at least 10 feet wide on either side
of the southern property line so storm water infrastructure can be installed at a future date, if
necessary.
La Haye Addition
September g22, 2003

GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL
There is one house on the existing site which will be demolished as a part of the site grading.
Each of the proposed house pads are shown as walk-out type structures. The site lends itself
to these types of houses due to the natural slope of the site. As a result, minimal grading will
be required, outside of the housepad area, to prepare each of the lots for building.
If grading material will need to be imported or exported to construct the lots and streets, the
applicant and/or contractor must supply the City Engineer with a haul route for review and
approval prior to grading activities commencing. Also, the applicant should be aware that
any grading outside of the property limits or right-of-way will require a temporary easement.
Staff would like to see more detail concerning the proposed drainage in the turnaround area.
Specifically, how the applicant is planning on routing the stormwater from the turnaround to
the east. Staff is recommending that a catchbasin be installed at the low point in the
turnaround with a storm sewer that discharges just-east of the proposed driveway for Lot 2.
The stormwater from the cul de sac would then flow in the existing swale along the south lot
line of the plat to Frontier Trail.
Erosion control measures and site restoration must be developed in accordance with the City's
Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Silt fence is shown along the grading limits
of the site where storm water and sediment can run off. In addition, tree preservation fencing
needs to be added around any and all trees to be saved.
UTILITIES
The plans propose to connect the new house to "possible" sanitary and water mains along the
south property line of the plat. There is an existing sanitary main in this area; however, there
is no water main. As such, water service for Lot 2 will have to be obtained from the existing
main in Frontier Trail Great Plains Boulevard.
According to the City's Finance Department records, there are no assessments due for the
existing lot. The site will be subject to one sanitary sewer and water connection charge,
however, for the benefit of the lateral mains to the new lot. The 2003 connection charges for
both sanitary sewer and water are $4,513. The property is also subject to sanitary sewer and
water hook-up charges for the new lot. The 2003 trunk utility hook-up charges are $1,440
per unit for sanitary sewer and $1,876 per unit for water. The 2003 SAC charge is $1,275 per
unit. These charges are collected prior to the building permit issuance.

STREETS
The applicant is proposing to upgrade the private street to meet current City standards, ant to
remove one of thc existing driveway accesses on the private street. In order to save the two
existing Oak trees on each side of the private street near the proposed cul-de-sac, staff would
like the flexibility to narrow or keep the same street width in this area. The proposed private
street upgrades must also include a 30-foot wide private easement dedicated to the benefiting
property owners.
Following the upgrades to the private street off of Great Plains Blvd., there will be threc
homes accessing off of it. One of the existing lots (Manarin lot at 7552 Great Plains Blvd.)
off the private street has the potential to subdivide in the future. If this happened, there
would be a total of four homes served by the private street. The City Code allows a
maximum of four homes off a private street. Therefor-e, Lot 2 should not use the same
driveway access off of Great Plains Blvd. as the private street. Staff recommends that the
two driveway accesses be separated by a minimum of five feet.
While either of the proposed turnarounds (alternates A or B) will work, staff is
recommending that the applicant install alternate B. This would provide the City with the
same accessibility and maintenance benefits as a cul de sac with a median island in the
The City has an existing 60-foot area of right-of-way just south of the existing site's property.
The applicant is requesting that the City vacate the right-of-way which would allow the
abutting property owners along the north and south to each gain half (30-feet) of the vacated
land. A 30-foot wide area has been shown on the applicant's preliminary plat drawing. Staff
has no problem with this vacation since the existing topography within the right-of-way is
very steep and would require retaining walls to incorporate a public street.
Detailed street construction plans and specifications in accordance with the City's latest
edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates will be required have been submitted
for review and approval by the City Council at the time of final plat consideration. Since the
street improvements will become owned and maintained by the City, the applicant must enter
into a development contract with the City and provide financial security in the form of a letter
of credit or cash escrow to guarantee construction of the public improvements. Permits from
the appropriate regulatory agency will be required, including but not limited to: Watershed
District, MPCA, etc.

VACATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY
Staff received an application from property owners adjacent to the shaded area of Santa Fe Trail.
The applicants are requesting to vacate a portion of Santa Fe Trail. Currently, no street exists in
that area. The grades in the area are steep making a street connection unlikely. Staff is
recommending approval of the vacation since the right-of-way is not needed. The City will
retain a drainage and utility easement over the sanitary sewer line.

The developer does meet minimum canopy coverage allowed.
There are no buffer yard requirements for this subdivision. However, the applicant has proposed
planting between Lots 1 and 2, and Lot 2 and the lot to the south, as well as plantings on other
private properties in the neighborhood. A total of 10 deciduous trees and 30 evergreens are
proposed.
The construction of a hammerhead turnaround is preferred for tree preservation. Extending the
existing pavement to create a circular turnaround would have a detrimental effect on the existing
trees within the fight-of-way.

Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems.
Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support systems.
Finding: The proposed subdivision will have access to public utilities and streets.
VARIANCE
Section 18-60. Lots. (g) states "Double frontage lots with frontage on two (2)parallel streets or
reverse frontage shall not be permitted except where lots back on an arterial or collector street.
La Haye Addition
September g22, 2003
Page 10
Such lots shall have an additional depth of at least ten (lO)feet to accommodate vegetative
screening along the back lot line. Wherever possible, structures on double frontage lots should
face the front of existing structures across the street. If this cannot be achieved, then such lots
shall have an additional depth often (JO)feet to accommodate vegetation screening along the
back lot line."
Staff is recommending Lot 2 be permitted as a double frontage lot since Frontier Trail acts as a
collector street.
VARIANCE FINDINGS
Sec. 18-22. Variances.
The city council may grant a variance from the regulations contained in this chapter as part of the
plat approval process following a finding that all of the following conditions exist:
(2)
(3)
(4)
The hardship is not a mere inconvenience;
The hardship is caused by the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical
conditions of the land;
The condition or conditions upon which the request is based are unique and not generally
applicable to other property;
The granting of a variance will not be substantially detrimental to the public welfare and
is in accord with the purpose and intent of this chapter, the zoning ordinance and
comprehensive plan.
Finding: The applicant has demonstrated in previous proposals that it is possible to
create parcels that meet the letter of the ordinance. However, by doing so, site grading
and tree removal increases. The applicant's request is fairly reasonable. The ordinance
allows double frontage lots if one of the roads is a collector. Frontier Trail is not
classified is a collector street, however, it possesses many of the characteristics of one.
Based upon these findings, staff is recommending approval of this variance.
PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE
On September 2, 2003, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved this application
unanimously. The neighborhood favored the hammerhead configuration for the road rather than a
typical cul-de-sac.

Preliminary and Final Plat Review of Lahaye Addition
Land Use Review File No. 03-04 and Project No. 03-07
Upon review of the plans prepared by Gronberg & Associates, dated September
11, 2003, I offer the following comments and recommendations:
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL
There is one house on the existing site which will be demolished as a part of
the site grading. Each of the proposed house pads are shown as walk-out type
structures. The site lends itself to these types of houses due to the natural
slope of the site. As a result, minimal grading will be required, outside of the
housepad area, to prepare each of the lots for building.
If grading material will need to be imported or exported to construct the lots
and streets, the applicant and/or contractor must supply the City Engineer with
a haul route for review and approval prior to grading activities commencing.
Also, the applicant should be aware that any grading outside of the property
limits or right-of-way will require a temporary easement.
Erosion control measures and site restoration must be developed in accordance
with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Silt fence is
shown along the grading limits of the site where stormwater and sediment can
run off. In addition, tree preservation fencing needs to be added around any
and all trees to be saved.
UTILITIES
The plans propose to connect the new house to "possible" sanitary and water
mains along the south property line of the plat. There is an existing sanitary
main in this area; however, there is no water main. As such, water service for
Lot 2 will have to be obtained from the existing main in Great Plains
Boulevard.
· According to the City's Finance Department records, there are no assessments
due for the existing lot. The site will be subject to one sanitary sewer and
water connection charge for the benefit of the lateral mains to the new lot.
The 2003 connection charges for both sanitary sewer and water are $4,513.
The City of Chanhassen. A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, windiog trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.
Sharmeen~-Jaff
September 15, 2003
Page 2
The property is also subject to sanitary sewer and water hook-up charges for
the new lot. The 2003 trunk utility hook-up charges are $1,440 per unit for
sanitary sewer and $1,876 per unit for water. The 2003 SAC charge is $1,275
per unit. These charges are collected prior to the building permit issuance.
STREETS
The applicant is proposing to upgrade the private street to meet current City
standards. In order to save the two existing Oak trees on each side of the
private street near the proposed cul-de-sac, staff would like the flexibility to
narrow or keep the same street width in this area. The proposed private street
upgrades must also include a 30-foot wide private easement dedicated to the
benefiting property owners.
The City has an existing 60-foot area of right-of-way just south of the existing
site's property. The applicant is requesting that the City vacate the right-of-
way which would allow the abutting property owners along the north and
south to each gain half (30-feet) of the vacated land. A 30-foot wide area has
been shown on the applicant's preliminary plat drawing. Staffhas no problem
with this vacation since the existing topography within the right-of-way is very
steep and would require retaining walls to incorporate a public street.
Detailed street construction plans and specifications in accordance with the
City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates have been
submitted for review and approval by the City Council. Since the street
improvements will become owned and maintained by the City, the applicant
must enter into a development contract with the City and provide financial
security in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee
construction of the public improvements. Permits form the appropriate
regulatory agency will be required, including but not limited to: Watershed
District, MPCA, etc.

Preliminary Plat Review of Lahaye Addition
Land Use Review File No. 03-04
Upon review of the plans prepared by Gronberg & Associates, dated February 11,
2003, I offer the following comments and recommendations:
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL
The existing 1.5 acre site contains, approximately, 62-feet of elevation change.
From a low point of 922 in the northeast comer of the site to a high point of 984
along the westerly lot line, the site rises sharply from east to west. Significant site
features include a bluff in the northeast part of the site along with, just over, an
acre of tree canopy coverage. Every effort should be made to protect these
significant features.
There is one house on the existing site which will be demolished as a part of the
site grading. Each of the proposed house pads are shown as walk-out type
structures. The site lends itself to these type of houses due to the natural slope of
the site. As a result, minimal grading will be required, outside of the housepad
area, to prepare each of the lots for building.
If grading material will need to be imported or exported to construct the lots and
streets. The applicant and/or contractor must supply the City Engineer with a haul
route for review and approval prior to grading activities commencing. Also, the
applicant should be aware that any grading outside of the property limits or right-
of-way will require a temporary easement.
The existing site drains from west to east. Currently stormwater from Great
Plains Boulevard flows overland, through the site, to Frontier Trail. The proposed
grading plan will maintain the existing drainage pattern. Staff would like to see
more detail concerning the proposed drainage in the cul-de-sac area. Specifically,
how the applicant is planning on routing the stormwater from the cul-de-sac to the
east. Staff is recommending that a catchbasin be installed at the low point in the
cul-de-sac with a storm sewer that discharges just east of the proposed driveway
for Lot 2. The stormwater from the cul-de-sac would then flow in the proposed
swale along the south lot line of the plat to Frontier Trail.
The City of Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.

Erosion control measures and site restoration must be developed in accordance
with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Silt fence is
shown along the grading limits of the site where stormwater and sediment can run
off. In addition, tree preservation fencing needs to be added around any and all
trees to be saved.
UTILITIES
No public utilities are proposed with this lot split. The existing house is already
connected to municipal sewer and water. The plans propose to connect the new
house to "possible" sanitary and water mains along the south property line of the
~plat. There is and existing sanitary main in this area, however, there is no water
main. As such, water service for Lot 2 will have to be obtained from the existing
main in Frontier Trail.
According to the City's Finance Department records, there are no assessments due
for the existing lot. The site will be subject to one sanitary sewer and water
connection charge; however, for the benefit of the lateral mains to the new lot.
The 2003 connection charges for both sanitary sewer and water are $4,513. The
property is also subject to sanitary sewer and water hook-up charges for the new
lot. The 2003 trunk utility hook-up charges are $1,440 per unit for sanitary sewer
and $1,876 per unit for water. The 2003 SAC charge is $1,275 per unit. These
charges are collected prior to the building permit issuance.
STREETS
Currently, access to the existing house on Lot 1 is via a private street off of Great
Plains Blvd. This private street does not meet the current standards for such
streets, i.e. 7-ton per axle design and 20-foot wide pavement. As a part of the site
development, the applicant is proposing to upgrade the private street to meet the
above-mentioned standards and to remove one of the existing driveway accesses
on the private street. In order to save the two existing Oak trees on each side of
the private street near the proposed cul-de-sac, staff would like the flexibility to
narrow or keep the same street width in this area. The proposed private street
upgrades should also include a vehicle turnaround area, acceptable to the City's
Fire Marshall, and a 30-foot wide private easement dedicated to the benefiting
property owners.
The current turnaround area which the private street comes off of is a convoluted
mix of multiple driveways and irregular shaped pavement. In an effort to correct
this non-standard turnaround area, the applicant is proposing to dedicate
additional right-of-way and to install a cul-de-sac. The proposed cul-de-sac right-
Sharmeen Al-~ff
April 7, 2003
Page 3
of-way is shown as a standard 60-foot radius; however, the pavement radius must
be increased from 42- to 45-feet in accordance with City standards.
The applicant has shown two possible options for access to Lot 2. One option is
to install a driveway from the east off of Frontier Trail (grading plan alternate 2).
While Frontier Trail is the street that Lot 2 will have the most frontage on, the
steep driveway grades that would be required and collector route designation of
Frontier Trail make this option unappealing. In addition, access from Frontier
Trail may require the removal of significant trees that could otherwise be saved.
The second option is for Lot 2 to gain access from the west off of the proposed
cul-de-sac on Great Plains Boulevard (grading plan alternate 1). Following the
upgrades to the private street off of Great Plains Blvd., there will be three homes
accessing off of it. One of the existing lots (Manarin lot at 7552 Great Plains
Blvd.) off the private street has the potential to subdivide in the future. If this
happened, there would be a total of four homes served by the private street. The
City Code allows a maximum of four homes off a private street. Therefore, Lot 2
should not use the same driveway access off of Great Plains Blvd. as the private
street. Staff recommends that the two driveway accesses be separated by a
minimum of five feet. Staff is in support of the Lot 2 access coming from the
west and the variances associated with it.
The City has an existing 60-foot area of right-of-way just south of the existing
site's property. As a condition of the subdivision, the applicant is requesting that
the City vacate the north half of the right-of-way and deed the land back to the
applicant. This 30-foot wide area has been included in the applicant's preliminary
plat drawing. Staff has no problem with this vacation since the existing
topography within the right-of-way is very steep and would require retaining walls
to incorporate a public street.
Detailed street construction plans and specifications in accordance with the City's
latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates will be required for
review and approval by the City Council at the time of final plat consideration.
Since the street improvements will become owned and maintained by the City, the
applicant must enter into a development contract with the City and provide
financial security in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee
construction of the public improvements. Permits form the appropriate regulatory
agency will be required, including but not limited to: Watershed District, MPCA,
etc.

Label the existing size and type of pipe for both the sanitary and
watermains.
Add a catchbasin at the low point in the cul-de-sac with a storm sewer line
that discharges just east of the proposed driveway for Lot 2.
The water service for Lot 2 will have to be obtained from the existing
main in Frontier Trail.
The proposed private street upgrades should include a vehicle turnaround
area, acceptable to the City's Fire Marshall, and a 30-foot wide private
easement dedicated to the benefiting property owners. In order to save the
two existing Oak trees on each side of the private street, the existing street
width may be maintained in this area.
Lot 2 cannot use the same driveway access off of Great Plains Blvd. as the
private street. The two driveway accesses shall be separated by a
minimum of five feet.
Detailed street construction plans and specifications in accordance with
the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates will
be required for review and approval by the City Council at the time of final
plat consideration. Since the street improvements will become owned and
maintained by the City, the applicant must enter into a development
contract with the City and provide financial security in the form of a letter
of credit or cash escrow to guarantee construction of the public
improvements. Permits form the appropriate regulatory agency will be
required, including but not limited to: Watershed District, MPCA, etc.
The site will be subject to one sanitary sewer and water connection charge
for the new lot. The 2003 connection charges for both sanitary sewer and
water are $4,513. The property is also subject to sanitary sewer and water
hook-up charges for the new lot. The 2003 trunk utility hook-up charges
are $1,440 per unit for sanitary sewer and $1,876 per unit for water. The
2003 SAC charge is $1,275 per unit. These charges are collected prior to
the building permit issuance.

Request for subdivision of 1.56 acres into 2 single family lots with
variances and vacation of a portion of Sante Fe Trail, Ernest Pivec.
Planning case no: 2003-3 SUB/2003-1 VAC.
I have reviewed the request for subdivision for the above project. In order for
it to comply with the Chanhassen Fire Department/Fire Prevention Division, I
have the following Fire Code or City Ordinance/Policy requirements. The
plan review is based on the available information submitted at this time. If
additional plans or changes are submitted, the appropriate quote or code
policy items will be addressed.
Because of the setbacks of the proposed new house, additional address
numbers will be required at the driveway entrance. Address numbers
must comply with Chanhassen Fire Department Policy regarding
premise identification pursuant to Policy no. 29-1992 (copy enclosed).
Submit new proposed driveway dimensions to City Engineer and
Chanhassen Fire Marshal. This is to ensure that Fire Apparatus can
safely negotiate the driveway to the new proposed single family
dwelling.
