MEMORANDUM
TO:
Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM:
Bob Generous, Senior Planner
DATE:
September 22, 2003
SUB J:
Holiday Inn Express - Sub. #2003-13, SPR #2003-8
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The property owner is requesting preliminary plat approval to subdivide a 5.16 acre lot into
two lots and site plan review for a three-story, 89-unit hotel on 3.13 acres with variances
from the design standards (permitting 35% fenestration on the north elevation, rather than
the required 50% fenestration), and for signage (permitting a sign on the west wall of the
building which does not have street frontage).
The Planning Commission and staff are recommending approval of the preliminary plat, site
plan with variances for fenestration, and sign variance to permit signage on the western
building elevation based on the Findings of Fact and Recommendation attached as pages 16
through 19 of the staff report.
At the Aug. 19, 2003 Planning Commission (PC) meeting, the PC was concerned with the
existing median opening to the proposed development along Century Blvd. The PC
recommended that access to the site be limited to a right-in/right-out access which, in effect,
would require that the median opening be closed. Staff cannot support this condition since
the median opening was approved as a part of the Arboretum 4th Addition and its closure is
a condition of the development contract, not subject to an individual property's site plan
review. Staff believes the access should be permitted with the same restrictions as were
permitted for Arboretum Business Park 4th Addition (Century Blvd. Court, KinderCare and
U.S. Bank).
.PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 2, 2003, to review the proposed
development. The Planning Commission voted 7 to 0 to recommend approval of the
subdivision, site plan with variance, and sign variance as provided in the motions on pages i0
(preliminary plat), 13 (site plan) and 15 (sign variance) of the staff report. The summary and
verbatim minutes are item lb of the City Council packet for September, 22, 2003.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the motions on pages 10, 13 and 15 of the staff report with
modification of condition 12 (page 12) of the subdivision motion to incorporate staff' s
original condition regarding access.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval to subdivide a 5.16 acre lot in to two lots and site
plan review for a three-story, 89 unit hotel on 3.13 acres with variances for signage (permitting a sign
on the east wall of the building which does not have street frontage) and dbsign standards (permitting
35 percent fenestration on the north elevation, rather then the required 50 percent fenestration).
Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 1,000+ feet.
LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING:
The City's discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat~is limited to whether or not the
proposed plat meets the 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 site plan is limited to whether or not the proposed
project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements. If it meets those standards, the City must
then approve the site plan. 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 the subdivision of one lot into two lots, one lot 2.03 acres and the other
3.13 acres, and development of one of the lots with a 53,000 square foot, three-story, brick, 89 unit
hotel. The proposed subdivision complies with the requirements of the subdivision ordinance. The
property was previously prepared for development with the interim use permit for the initial site
grading. The applicant will be installing public water, sanitary sewer, and storm water
improvements as part of the development. The proposed site plan complies with the requirements
of the city code with the exception of the fenestration requirements on the northern elevation. The
applicant has increased the amount of windows by 12 percent, but cannot comply with the 50
percent requirement due to the guest rooms. Staff supports the 15 percent variance for windows on
the northern elevation. Staff is recommending approval of the subdivision and site plan.
Signage is permitted on the street frontage of buildings by city code. By code, the applicant
could provide wall signage on only the northern elevation of the hotel building. The applicant is
requesting a sign variance to permit wall signage on the easterly building elevation, which does
not have street frontage. Lot 1 will be permitted to have signage on two elevations, since it has
street frontage on both Highway 5 and Century Boulevard. Staff is recommending denial of the
sign variance.
BACKGROUND

Unit Development for Arboretum Business Park adding Personal Services as a permitted
commercial use and as the Third Amendment to the Arboretum Business Park Development
Contract/PUD Agreement.
On December 10, 2001, the city approved an amendment to the Planned Unit Development
(PUD #92-6) Development Contract/PUD Agreement for Arboretum Business Park
incorporating printing as a light industrial use; permitting indoor recreation/health clubs and
recording studios in the existing office-industrial buildings in the project; and prohibiting
vocational schools, public buildings (except in Outlots A and B), screened outdoor storage, and
food processing.

On September 24, 2001, the Chanhassen City Council approved Interim Use Permit (IUP)
#2001-1 to grade a portion of the Arboretum Business Park development and Conditional Use
Permit (CLIP) #2001-8 to permit development within the Bluff Creek Overlay District. The IUP
and CUP included this property.
On July 28, 1997, the City Council approved the following: the ordinance for PUD #92-6
rezoning approximately 154 acres from Agricultural Estate, A2, to Planned Unit Development,
PUD, and the PUD #92-6 granting final plat approval for Arboretum Business Park.
On June 23, 1997, the City Council approved a Resolution that the AUAR be revised to
incorporate the summary of issues and mitigation plan contained in the staff report, that the
revisions to the Traffic Study prepared by SRF outlined in the staff report be incorporated into
the study, and that the revised AUAR be adopted by the City.
On May 27, 1997, the City Council approved the following:
· Approved the first reading for rezoning the property from Agricultural Estate, A2, to
Planned Unit Development, PUD.
Approved the preliminary PUD #92-6 for an office/industrial business park and
preliminary plat approval for 12 lots, two outlots and associated right-of-way subject to
the plans dated April 4, 1997, revised May 23, 1997,with conditions.
· The City Council approved Wetland Alteration Permit for Gateway Business Park subject
to the conditions of preliminary PUD #92-6 approval.
· The City Council approved Interim Use Permit #97-1 for Gateway West Planned Unit
Development site subject to conditions.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
· Chapter 18, Subdivisions
· Arboretum Business Park Development Standards
· Site Plan Review, Chapter 20, Article II, Division 6
· Design Standards for Commercial, Industrial and Office-Institutional Development,
Chapter 20, Article XXIII, Division 7
· Section 20-1303 (3) states that wall business signs shall be permitted on street
frontage for each business occupant within the building only.
SUBDIVISION REVIEW
The proposed subdivision creates two lots where one was previously proposed. The creation of an
additional lot beyond that one that received preliminary plat approval requires preliminary and final
Holiday Inn Express
September 2, 2003
Page 4
plat approval, rather than only final plat approval. Both lots exceed the minimum requirements of
the subdivision ordinance. The development of the individual lots must comply with the
Arboretum Business Park Development Design Standards.
STREETS
No public streets are proposed as part of this project. The applicant is proposing full access to
the site from Century Boulevard. As the access will service the two lots, cross-access easements
will need to be obtained and recorded against the lots.
The shared drive aisle through the site will be a private street since it serves multiple lots. As
such, the road must be a minimum of 26-feet wide, built to a 9-ton design, and enclosed within a
40-foot wide private easement.
An internal sidewalk system shall be developed to bring pedestrians from the public trails on the
west and (future) south sides into the site.
The full access driveway onto Century Boulevard will be allowed; however, should the driveway
cease to operate in a safe manner in the opinion of the property owner, or if any of the following
conditions are met, the property owner shall be assessed 100% of the costs incurred to correct the
conditions in a fashion acceptable to the City of Chanhassen:
a. Level of service "F" at the intersection during peak AM and PM times.
b. Level of service "D" or below at the intersection during non-peak times.
c. Significant accidents that are attributed to the configuration of the intersection occur that
indicate a mutually recognized safety concern at the intersection.
TRAILS
Steiner Development shall be responsible for planning, engineering, and constructing the
"wetland trail." This trail follows an alignment generally described as the western edge of
Outlots A & B. Connection points for this new trail construction shall be the terminus of the
Trotter's Ridge trail and Autumn Ridge trail. Portions of said construction will occur off-site of
the Arboretum plat within land owned by the City of Chanhassen. If the trail alignment is within
property not owned by the City, then the developer shall dedicate a 20 foot wide trail easement
centered on the trail alignment.
Trail construction shall be completed in two phases: one north of Coulter Boulevard and one
south of Coulter Boulevard. Each phase shall be completed contemporaneously with adjoining
improvements.
In consideration for this trail construction, the city shall compensate Steiner Development full
costs of trail construction plus a 10% design and construction management fee. Bid documents,
including plans and specifications, shall be approved by the Park & Recreation Director and City
Engineer prior to soliciting bids. Project bidding shall occur in a competitive environment with a
Holiday Inn Express
September 2, 2003
Page 5
minimum of three bids being received. The results of the bidding process shall be reviewed with
the Park & Recreation Director and City Engineer prior to award. Cash payment for trail
construction shall be made from the City of Chanhassen to Steiner Development upon
completion, inspection, and acceptance of the trail.
In lieu of crediting trail fees against said trail construction, full trail fees shall be collected per
city ordinance for all lots in the Arboretum Business Park. Said fees shall be deposited into the
city's trail dedication account--the same account that will fund the cash payment being made to
Steiner Development for trail construction.
The current submittal refers to the required trail as "future," does not depict the entire segment,
and fails to show a typical construction cross section for the trail. I plan on meeting with the
applicant's engineer on the property to review these issues. Please ensure that these conditions
are being met on future submittals from the applicant.

GRADING, DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL
Minimal grading for the site is being proposed with a berm along the north side of Lot 2. The
applicant should be aware that maximum grading slope is 3:1 and any off site grading will
require a permit from the owner.
Storm Water Management
The proposed development is required to maintain existing runoff rates. Storm water
calculations should be submitted to ensure the downstream storm water infrastructure is sized
adequately for the proposed development. Drainage will be routed to an existing storm manhole
on the west side of Century Boulevard. The applicant will need to submit proposed storm sewer
sizing calculations showing that the existing storm sewer will accommodate the runoff.
Easements
Drainage and utility easements should be provided over all existing and proposed storm water
infrastructure.
Holiday Inn Express
September 2, 2003

Erosion Control
Erosion Control Note #4 should include straw mulch (MNDOT Type 1 mulch) application with
seed for stabilization. Currently, the note reads "All disturbed areas shall be stabilized with seed,
sod or rock base." Seed without mulch is not considered stabilization under the NPDES permit.
Category 3 (straw or wood fiber) blanket should be applied following seeding in the proposed
swale in the northeast corner of the site.
Sediment Control
The silt fence used should be heavy-duty machine sliced silt fence, metal T-posts with 4 to 6 foot
spacing. Existing vegetation should be conserved as much as practicable while installing and
during construction.
Erosion control measures and site restoration shall be developed in accordance with the City's
Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Staff recommends that the City's Type 1II
erosion control fence, which is a heavy-duty silt fence, be used for the area adjacent to the
existing wetland just south of the site. In addition, erosion control blankets will be required on
the steep slopes on the site.
The silt fence end in the southwest coruer of the site should be angled up slope to inhibit water
from flowing around the silt fence.
Inlet control is needed following installation of inlet structures. Inlet control methods will be
varied before and after pavement of the parking lots. Before pavement, inlet protection could
consist of heavy-duty mono-mono silt fence with 4 foot spacing of metal T-posts and 1" rock
around silt fence material. After paving of parking lots, mulch socks, sand bags or rock and wire
could be used as temporary inlet control.
Surface Water Management Fees
Based on the proposed developed area of 5.13 acres, the total SWMP fee, due payable to the City
at the time of final plat recording, is $51,772.
Other Agencies
Beginning March 10, 2003 all developments disturbing 1-acre or more or part of a contiguous
development which will disturb more than 1-acre require a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The
owner/operator of the proposed development must apply for and receive the NPDES permit prior to
beginning construction activities.
Any development disturbing more than 1-acre and creating more than 1-acre of impervious surface
must also have permanent storm water treatment. The Arboretum Business Park PUD addressed
permanent storm water treatment as a part of the overall review process.
Holiday Inn Express
September 2, 2003
Page 7
The applicant should apply for and obtain a permit from the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek
Watershed District and comply with their conditions of approval.
UTILITIES
The proposed sanitary sewer and water-mains in the main drive aisle will be considered public
utility lines since they will serve more than one lot. A minimum 35-foot wide public easement
will be required over the public sewer and water-main. The end of the public sewer and water-
main shall be at the property line between Lot 1 and Lot 2.
The underlying property has been previously assessed for sewer, water and street improvements.
The remaining assessment due payable to the City is $137,272.40. This remaining balance may
be re-spread against the newly platted lots on a per-area basis. In addition, the sanitary sewer and
water hookup charges will be applicable for each of the new lots. The 2003 trunk hookup charge
is $1,440 for sanitary sewer and $1,876 for water-main. Sanitary sewer and water-main hookup
fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of the building permit issuance.
Public utility improvements will be required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest
edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Detailed construction plans and
specifications will be required at the time of final platting. The applicant will also be required to
enter into a development contract with the City and supply the necessary financial security in the
form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee installation of the improvements and the
conditions of final plat approval. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies must be
obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA, Department of Health, Watershed District,
MnDOT, etc.
GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE
The developer is proposing a three-story, brick building with a pitched, asphalt shingled roof.
The total building area is approximately 53,000 square feet. The building is in an "L" shape with
the short leg of the "L" in a north south orientation.
ARCHITECTURAL COMPLIANCE
Size, Portion and Placement
The main entry to the building is located in the northwest comer of the building. The entrance to
the building faces Century Boulevard. A canopy, supported by columns is proposed over the drop
off entrance. The ground level of the building is visually distinct from the upper stories through
the use of the darker brick material.
Material, Color and Detail
The applicant is proposing a dark brown brick veneer on the ground elevation and on all three
levels on the gable ends of the building. A light sand colored brick veneer is proposed for the
Holiday Inn Express
September 2, 2003
Page 8
second and third floors. A white exterior insulation finishing system (EIFS) is proposed at the
gable ends where signage is being proposed. Soldier course cornices are proposed at the top of the
building. Three story windows are proposed in the public areas of the building.
Height and Roof Design
Building height is limited to 3 stories or 40 feet in the Overlay District otherwise they must be
consistent with the underlying district. The proposed hotel is 3 stories with a height of
approximately 35 feet. The building has asphalt shingled, 4/12 pitched roof which complies with
the ordinance requirements. The entrance canopy has a standing seam metal roof.
Facade transparency
Fifty percent of the first floor elevation that is viewed by the public, adjacent to public right-of-
way, shall include transparent windows and or doors. All other areas shall include landscaping
material and architectural detailing and articulation. The north elevation contains only 35 percent
window and door openings on the first floor. The developer has increased the amount of glass
from the normal Holiday Inn Express area of 23 percent to 35 percent by adding window area in
the public portions of the building including the great room, pantry and meeting rooms. The
balance of the wall area includes guest rooms which do not permit the increase in window area
without potentially impacting privacy and safety. To meet this threshold, sliding windows or
windows across the width of the room would be necessary. Such window treatments would be
out keeping with the rest of the building architecture.
Site Furnishing
The developer has not provided site furnishing as part of the project. Staff would suggest that the
developer provide a patio area outside of the pool including tables and chairs. Benches should be
located throughout the site to provide an opportunity for viewing of the natural area to the south.
A bicycle rack shall also be included as part of the project.
Loading areas, refuse area, etc.
The applicant is proposing a trash enclosure/maintenance building in the northeast comer of the
building constructed of material similar to the building.
Landscaping
Minimum requirements for landscaping on Lot 2 of the Holiday Inn Express development
include 3,237 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the parking lot, 13 trees for the parking lot, and
buffer yard plantings along the north and west property lines. The developer's proposed as
compared to the requirements for landscape area and parking lot trees is shown in the following
table.

The developer does not meet minimum requirements for parking lot plantings. Staff
recommends that the developer add groupings of overstory trees on the south and east sides of
the parking lot. The grouping will provide shade to the parking lot, but not intrude on the scenic
views in those directions. Two landscape peninsulas will also need to be added, one in the
northern parking lot and one in the southern park lot. Staff recommends that the open area to the
south and east be left natural and only a minimum amount of mowing be done along the south
curb line. The developer is also short on shrub plantings along Hwy. 5, but with the large
number of over- and understory trees combined with the rise in elevation from the highway, staff
recommends that the proposed plantings for the Highway 5 buffer yard be accepted. A revised
landscape plan must be submitted to the city for final approval.
Lot Frontage and Parking location

parking is provided to the south and east of the building.

Variances Required - Requesting sign variance to permit signage on the eastern building
elevation and a variance to permit fenestration of 35%, rather than 50%.
Parking Standards: Hotels: one per room plus one per two employees. The applicant has
provided 99 spaces.
ACCESS
The applicant is proposing full access to the site from Century Boulevard. As the access will
service the two lots, cross-access easements will need to be obtained and recorded against the
lots. An internal sidewalk system shall be developed to bring pedestrians from the public trails
on the west and (future) south sides into the site.
LIGHTING/SIGNAGE
Signage is permitted on the street frontage of buildings by city code. By code, the applicant
could provide wall signage on only the northern elevation of the building. The applicant is
requesting a sign variance to permit wall signage on the easterly building elevation, which does
not have street frontage. Staff is recommending denial of the sign variance.
The applicant could install a monument sign on the Highway 5 frontage if additional signage is
required. Each property shall be allowed one monument sign per street frontage. The sign shall
not exceed eighty (80) square feet in sign display area nor be greater than eight (8) feet in height.
(Note that the monument sign shown on the site plan is located within the public right-of-way
and may not be located there.) All signs shall require a separate sign permit.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff The Planning Commission recommends that the Planning Commission City Council
adopt the following three motions:
A. "The Planning Commission recommends approval of Chanhassen City Council approves
the preliminary plat Subdivision #2003-13, shown on plans prepared by Schoell & Madson, Inc.

issuance, permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies must be obtained, including
but not limited to the MPCA, Department of Health, Watershed District, MNDOT, etc.
7. A private storm sewer easement against Lot 1 must be obtained from the owners and
recorded before the building permit issuance.
o
The underlying property has been previously assessed for sewer, water and street
improvements. The remaining assessment due payable to the City is $137,272.40. This
remaining balance may be re-spread against the newly platted lots on a per-area basis. In
addition, the sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will be applicable for each of the
new lots. The 2003 trunk hookup charges are $1440 for sanitary sewer and $1876 for
water-main. Sanitary sewer and water-main hookup fees may be specially assessed
against the parcel at the time of the building permit issuance.
o

public utility lines since they will serve more than one lot. A minimum 35-feet wide
public utility easement will be required over the public sewer and water-main. The end
of the public sewer and water-main shall be at the property line between Lot 1 and Lot 2.
10.
Erosion control measures and site restoration shall be developed in accordance with the
City's Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Staff recommends that the City's
Type III erosion control fence, which is a heavy-duty silt fence, be used for the area
adjacent to the existing wetland just south of the site. In addition, erosion control
blankets will be required on the steep slopes on the site.
11.
The main drive aisle through the site will be a private street since it serves multiple lots.
As such, the road must be a minimum of 26-feet wide, built to a 9-ton design, and
enclosed within a 40-feet wide private easement. A cross-access easement must be

infrastructure is sized adequately for the proposed development.
15. Drainage and utility easements shall be provided over all existing and proposed storm
water infrastructure.
16. Private easement for the shared storm sewer must be obtained and recorded against the
lots before building permit issuance.
17. Erosion Control Note #4 should include straw mulch (MNDOT Type 1 mulch)
application with seed for stabilization.
18. Category 3 (straw or wood fiber) blanket should be applied following seeding in the
proposed swale in the northeast comer of the site.
19.
The silt fence used should be heavy-duty machine sliced silt fence, metal T-posts with 4
to 6 foot spacing. Existing vegetation should be conserved as much as practicable while
installing and during construction.

FINDINGS OF FACT
AND RECOMMENDATION
IN RE:
Application of Steiner Construction Services, Inc. and Steve Slowey, WYLS, LLC for
Subdivision approval to create two lots and Site Plan Review approval for a three-story, 89 unit
hotel with variances for signage and fenestration.
On September 2, 2003, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly
schedule meeting to consider the application of Steiner Construction Services, Inc. and Steve
Slowey for subdivision approval and site plan approval with variances for signage and
fenestration for the property located at the southeast comer of Highway 5 and Century Boulevard.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed site plan which was
preceded by published and mailed notice. The Planning Commission heard testimony from all
interested persons wishing to speak and now makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
The property is currently zoned Planned Unit Development - Office Industrial
Park.
2. The property is guided by the Land Use Plan for office/industrial.
o
The legal description of the property is: Lots I and 2, Block 1, Arboretum
Business Park 6th Addition (formerly Outlot D, Arboretum Business Park); and site
plan for Lot 2, Block 1, Arboretum Business Park 6th Addition.
Holiday Inn Express
September 2, 2003
Page 17
4. The Subdivision Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider seven
possible adverse affects of the proposed subdivision. The seven (7) affects and our
findings regarding them are:
(1) The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning ordinance;
(2) The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable city, county and
regional plans including but not limited to the city's comprehensive plan;
(3) The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topography,
soils, vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding,
and storm water drainage are suitable for the proposed development;
(4) The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm
drainage, sewage disposal, streets, erosion control and all other improvements
required by this chapter;
(5) The proposed subdivision will not cause significant environmental damage;
(6) The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record; and
(7) The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if any
of the following exists:
Lack of adequate storm water drainage.
Lack of adequate roads.
Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems.
Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support systems.
5. Site Plan Section 20-110:
(1) The proposed development is consistent 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) The proposed development is consistent with the site plan review
requirements;
(3) The site plan preserves the site in its natural state to the extent practicable
by minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping
Holiday Inn Express
September 2, 2003
Page 18
with the general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing or
developing areas;
(4) The site plan creates 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) The site plan creates a functional and harmonious design for structures and
site features, with special attention to the following:
a. An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and
provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general
community;
b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping;
c. Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an
expression of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with
adjacent and neighboring structures and uses; and
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) The site plan protects 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.
6. Signage: The city council, upon the recommendation of the planning commission,
may grant a variance from the requirements of this article where it is shown that by
reason of topography or other conditions, strict compliance with the requirements of this
article would cause a hardship; provided that a variance may be granted only if the
variance does not adversely affect the spirit or intent of this article. The proposed hotel is
the tallest building in the area and has sufficient visibility. Signage on the north elevation
of the building is clearly visible to the general public. Signage on the western building
elevation is consistent with other hotels in the city and because it's more tasteful in
Holiday Inn Express
September 2, 2003
Page 19
the fact that it's not a cupola or an aperture onto the building but is incorporated
into the building.
7. Fenestration: The applicant has increased the amount of glass from the normal
Holiday Inn Express amount of 23 percent to 35 percent by adding window area in the
public areas of the building including the great room, pantry and meeting rooms.
However, without increasing the amount of windows in each guest room, which may lead
to privacy and security issues, the applicant is unable to meet the 50 percent fenestration
requirement.
The planning report #Sub #2003-13 and SPR #2003-8 dated September 2, 2003,
prepared by Robert Generous, et al, is incorporated herein.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the
preliminary plat, site plan review with a variance for fenestration and denial of the variance for
signage on the eastern western building elevation.
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 2nd day of September, 2003.

PROPOSALFOR
HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS (& RESTAURANT PAD)
CENTURY AVENUE & HIGHWAY 5
Chanhassen, Minnesota
We are proposing an 86 room-Holiday Inn Express and a pad for future development.
We are asking approval of the plan as presented. When a tenant for the pad has been
determined, documents will be submitted for approval of that structure.
The hotel will be 3 stories in height. We are requesting two variances to your
ordinances;
1. We are requesting an additional sign on the building. One sign is on the gable
end on the east elevation and the other is above the large window facing the
highway (north elevation).
2. We are requesting a variance in the amount of glass on the elevation facing the
highway.
These variances will be discussed in the section relating to the building.
SITE PLAN / LANDSCAPE PLAN
The attached documents show a site development that meets setback, parking,
landscape and screening requirements of the City of Chanhassen. The site will be
subdivided into two separate sites (see tabulation on drawings for areas) with cross
easements for parking as shown on the drawings. Parking requirements are met for
each portion of the site.
We are connecting the hotel site to the existing trail along Century Avenue and the trail
to be constructed at the base of the hotel site adjacent to the wetlands. The Site Plan
shows this connection.
The landscape plan shows the distribution, size and species of the plantings.
UTILITY / GRADING PLAN
The attached drawings show the utilities and grading. They are sized to the
requirements of the lot division. Storm sewer design will accommodate the run off from
our site without affecting other sites in any way.
Steiner
Construction Services, LLC
THE HOTEL BUILIDING
The building is of three story wood construction. The materials are labeled on the
drawings. The exterior materials are of two different color brick with an accent of EIFS
at gable ends (as shown on the attached drawings). The first floor of the building has
been treated differently by using a different color brick from the brick used for the upper
two floors. The total building will be sprinkled to meet '13 R standards as is normal.
In treating the first floor we have increased the amount of glass from the normal Holiday
Inn Express amount to 35%. We have increased the glass in all the public areas. It is
impossible to increase the glass in the rooms. We have therefore increased the glass
from a normal 23% to the 35% and are asking for a variance from the 50% standard.
We are also asking for a variance by adding one standard sign on the building facing
east (see sheet A-5). The standard sign is on north elevation of building facing Hwy 5.
See the colored elevations and perspective sketch for details.

Re: Proposed Holiday Express Development
Mr. Generous:
Thank you for sending a copy of the 2003-8 Site Plan, Holiday Express development to the SWCD office. Please
review the following storm water, erosion, and sediment control comments and recommendations,
Storm Water
Beginning March 10, 2003 all developments disturbing 1-acre or mom or part of a contiguous development which
will disturb mom than 1-acre require a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the
Pollution Control Agency (PCA). The owner / operator of the proposed development must apply for and receive the
NPDES permit prior to beginning construction activities.
Any development disturbing more than 1-acm and creating mom than 1-acm of impervious surface must also have
permanent storm water treatment. It appears this is being done as the Holiday Express preliminary plan shows the
storm water nmoff being managed by existing storm water infrastmctum.
Erosion Control
Erosion Control Note #4 should include straw mulch (MNDOT Type 1 mulch) application with seed for
stabilization. Currently, the note roads "All disturbed areas shall be stabilized with seed, sod or rock base". Seed
without mulch is not considered stabilization under the NPDES permit.
Category 3 (straw or wood fiber) blanket should be applied following seeding in the proposed swale in the NE
comer of the site.
Sediment Control
The silt fence used should be heavy-duty machine sliced silt fence, metal T-posts with 4 to 6 foot spacing. Existing
vegetation should be conserved as much as practicable while installing and during construction.
The silt fence end in the SW comer of the site should be angled up slope to inhibit water from flowing around the
silt fence.
Inlet control is needed following installation of inlet structures. Inlet control methods will be varied before and after
pavement of the parking lots. Before pavement, inlet protection could consist of heavy-duty mono-mono silt fence
with 4 foot spacing of metal T-posts and 1" rock around silt fence material. After paving of parking lots, mulch
socks, sand bags or rock and wire could be used as tempormy inlet control.
If them are any questions regarding this review please contact the SWCD office.

SUBJECT:
Holiday Inn Express and Suites Chanhassen, Mn/DOT Review #P03-089
SE Quad of TH 5 and Century Blvd.
Chanhassen, Carver Co.
Control Section 1002
Dear Ms. A1-Jaff:
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has reviewed the above
referenced plat in compliance with Minnesota Statute 505.03, subdivision 2, Plats. Before
any further development, please address the following issues:
Mn/DOT is very concerned with the proposed full access entrance onto Century
Boulevard and its close proximity to the signalized intersection of TH 5 and Century
Boulevard. This entrance will have a negative affect on the intersection creating a
bottleneck that will affect its safety and operation. Southbound traffic turning left at
the median opening will be forced to cross queuing traffic for the signal. This is an
undesirable traffic proposal.
Mn/DOT strongly recommends to the city that the median be closed and a right in
right out entrance be allowed. At a minimum, if the median is to remain open a left
turn lane should be provided on southbound Century Boulevard immediately prior to
the median opening. Preventing these types of traffic problems prior to development
is much easier than fixing them after the development is established. Please contact
Lynn Clarkowski, Mn/DOT Area Engineer, at (651) 634-2103 regarding this issue.
The proposed monument sign within Mn/DOT's right of way must be relocated off of
Mn/DOT right of way. Please direct questions regarding this issue to Keith
VanWagner (651-582-1443) of Mn/DOT's Permits section.
All of the drainage is running away from TH 5. At this time there is no drainage
permit required. If there are changes to the proposal and the drainage patterns are
changed Mn/DOT will need to review those changes.
The plat needs to show Mn/DOT's access control along TH 5 and identify inplace
monuments. Please make these changes and send a copy of the final plat for
Mn/DOT review to the following address:
David Torfin
Mn/DOT - Metro West Surveys
2055 N. Lilac Drive
Golden Valley, MN 55422
Phone: (763) 797-3113
As a reminder, please address all initial future correspondence for development activity
such as plats and site plans to:
Paul Czech
Mn/DOT - Metro Division
Waters Edge
1500 West County Road B-2
Roseville, Minnesota 55113
Mn/DOT document submittal guidelines require three (3) complete copies of plats and
two (2) copies of other review documents including site plans. Failure to provide three
(3) copies of a plat and/or two (2) copies of other review documents will make a
submittal incomplete and delay Mn/DOT's review and response to development
proposals. We appreciate your anticipated cooperation in providing the necessary
number of copies, as this will prevent us from having to delay and/or return incomplete
submittals.
If you have any questions concerning this review please feel free to contact me at (651)
