PROPOSAL /SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting approval to subdivide a 6.875 acre site into 2 single family lots. One
of the lots will be occupied by an existing home (currently under construction - Parcel A). The
1 second parcel (Parcel B) will be available for future construction. The site is located south of
Bluff Creek Estates and east of Bluff Creek. The site will be accessed via Sunridge Court.
I The proposed lots meet or exceed the minimum requirement of the Zoning Ordinance. Current
ordinances allow 2.5 acre lots int his area. Sunridge Court is zoned RR and was platted prior
to 1987 under rural guidelines. The area has since been brought within the MUSA line but as
I a pre -1987 RR parcel, the 2.5 acre minimum lot size still is required. Parcel A contains 4.4 acres
while Parcel B is 2.5 acres.
1 Municipal sanitary sewer is available to the site. However, municipal water will not be available
until June, 1994. A watermain is proposed to be extended to just north of the site in connection
I with the Bluff Creek Estates 4th addition. The work is proposed to be completed in June of
1994. The applicant will then be able to extend water service through their parcels.
I The site generally slopes to the west towards Bluff Creek. Staff is recommending that erosion
control measures be maintained throughout the construction process and until vegetation has been
reestablished. Erosion control measures and revegetation shall be in accordance with the City's
I Best Management Practice Handbook for Erosion and Sediment Control.
The Park and Recreation Commission is recommending that park fees be paid in lieu of park
1 land.
Staff believes that this plat request is a reasonable one and consistent with guidelines established
I by the city Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. We find it to be rather straight forward.
We are recommending that it be approved with conditions as outlined in the report.
1 BACKGROUND
On October 19, 1987, the City Council recommended approval of Sun Ridge Subdivision. The
1 subdivision contained 6 lots. The area was brought within the MUSA line in 1991.
SUBDIVISION
i The applicant is proposing to subdivide a 6.875 acre site into 2 single family lots. The density
I PP P P g g Y
of the proposed subdivision is 0.29 units per acre. Both lots meet or exceed the minimum 2.5
acres of area as permitted in the rural residential district. Neither Parcel A or B can be
subdivided further without an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.

Staff notes that the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning
Ordinance.
Streets /Access
Currently there is one driveway access to the lot. A second driveway access could be built off
of Sunridge Court. An ingress and egress easement is shown along the west and east of Parcel
A. It must be pointed out that at the present time, the parcel cannot be further subdivided due
to site area restrictions.
Utilities
Two options exist for sanitary and water service to the subdivision. The options are either well
and septic systems or extension of municipal sewer and water into the subdivision. If the
applicant elects to have Parcel B on a well and septic system, a grading plan with two designated
septic sites will be required for review and approval by City staff.
If the applicant elects to extend City sewer and water to service Parcel B, then formal detailed
construction plans and specifications for utility extension will be required by City staff for formal
review and approval. In addition, this will require the applicant to enter into a development
contract with the City and provide the financial security to guarantee compliance of the
development contract. The applicant's house, which is currently under construction on Parcel
A, is to be connected to City sanitary sewer from the existing line located in the northwest corner
of the property. The applicant, in conjunction with the building permit, has paid the appropriate
sewer and water hook -up fees for Parcel A. On September 16, 1993, the Engineering Department
sent the applicant a letter of understanding with regards to sewer and water service to the parcel.
The letter basically outlined connection and hook -up charges for the parcel and also future sewer
and water service impact when the parcel subdivides. The letter also states that if the parcel
subdivides and does not extend sewer and water through the development, at some future point
when the sewer and water is extended past the property the current property owner will be
responsible for their fair share of the assessment even though the property is already connected
1
to City sewer and water. Another point in the letter indicates that if the property is to subdivide,
the City would be requiring them to extend sanitary sewer and water lines to the south property
line for future extension. The cost of the extension of theses utilities would be at the applicant's
expense in lieu of a lateral or connection charge. In summary, basically the applicant has two
options for sewer and water service as previously described; either a well and septic site which
would require the applicant to submit a grading plan and to include septic locations. The other
option would be for the applicant to extend sanitary sewer and water service lines through the
property in accordance with the City's standard specifications and detail plates. This would
involve the applicant entering into a development contract with the City and providing the
financial security to guarantee compliance of the development contract.

Grading and Drainage
1 Due to the large lot sizes, only minimal site grading is anticipated with new home construction.
The terrain is most likely conducive to walkout -type dwellings. A full -scale grading plan is not
necessary unless the applicant elects to have septic sites on Parcel B.
Driveway access to the parcel may require the installation of culverts underneath the driveways
' to maintain drainage from Sunridge Court. This can be determined at the time of building permit
issuance as well as the culvert sizing.
1 Erosion Control
Erosion control measures shall be used along the westerly drainage easement line to protect Bluff
1 Creek. It is recommended that the proposed erosion control fence be the city's Type I along the
perimeter of the building site. Erosion control fence should be installed as required by the
Engineering Department when the applicant applies for building permit. The side slopes along
111 the rear of lots is steep. It is recommended that an erosion control blanket be used on slopes 3:1
or greater and that all disturbed areas be seeded within two weeks after grading unless MNDOT's
planting season dictates otherwise.
Easements
The plat shall indicate the following easements:
1 1. Standard drainage and utility easements along each lot line.
2. If applicable, drainage and utility easements for the extension of municipal utilities shall
' be dedicated across Parcels A and B.
Wetland Protection
1 Wetlands occupy the western edge of the site, along Bluff Creek. This area is protected by a
drainage easement. Staff is recommending that no alteration be permitted within the drainage
' easement. Erosion control measures must be used along the easement. These measures must be
in place and inspected prior to the start of grading activity.
Park and Recreation
Trails which are identified by the Comprehensive Trail plan in the area of Bluff Creek were
1 conveyed to the city when Sun Ridge was platted in 1987.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Sharmin Al -Jaff, Planner I
FROM: Steve A. Kirchman, Building Official ",,:Y
DATE: October 4, 1993
SUBJ: 93 -21 SUB (Edmunds, 1861 Sunridge Ct.) '
I was asked to review the proposed subdivision of Lot 5, Block 1,
Sun Ridge.
The development is not currently served by City sewer and water,
and as such two approved onsite sewage treatment areas are required
to be identified and protected for each lot. The proposed
subdivision will leave parcel B with only have one previously
approved treatment area. Due to the narrow front footage of parcel
B the previously approved site will cut off access to the lot. A
number of lots in this subdivision have been able to connect to
City sewer, but I'm unaware if parcel B will be able to do so.
Based on the above staff recommends the following condition be
included with the conditions of approval.
1. Two onsite sewage treatment areas must be identified and
protected in accordance with Chanhassen City Code 18 -40
(2)g. The site evaluator must be licensed as such by
Carver County. Treatment areas should be determined by
the owner's evaluator and reviewed and approved by
Inspection Division staff before preliminary subdivision
approval.

Re: Letter of Understanding with Regards to Sewer and Water Service to Lot 5, Block 1, Sun
Ridge 2nd Addition - File No. PW -285 , yam- 1
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Edmunds:
This letter is a follow -up to my conversation to Mrs. Edmunds regarding the sanitary sewer and 1
water hook -up to the above - referenced property. As we discussed, the City will allow for the
proposed house on Lot 5, Block 1, Sun Ridge 2nd Addition to be connected to City sewer from 1
the existing sanitary sewer line which is located in the northwest corner of the property. In
addition, when City water is available from the Bluff Creek Estates 4th Addition, the City will
also permit connection to the watermain. Connection to the municipal utilities (sewer and water) 1
shall be paid for at the time of building permit issuance. At this time you will only be charged
a hook -up charge which is $1,275 for the water and $970 for the sewer. The City is deferring
the typical connection charge until the property is subdivided or when sanitary sewer and water
I
is extended along/past your property. At that time you will be assessed for the lateral benefit.
If you proceed with subdividing the property prior to the City extending sewer and water past
I
your lot, you will be required to extend the sanitary sewer and water lines through the property
to the south property line for future extension. The cost of the extension of these utilities will
be at your expense in lieu of the lateral assessment typically charged (connection charge) by the
City.

If I have misstated any of our conversations, please contact me immediately. I wish for there
to be no misunderstanding with regards to the fees associated with connecting to City sewer and
water, therefore, please acknowledge by signing in the space provided below. This understanding
will run with the parcel so if in the future you sell the property the future owners will also be
bound by this agreement.
Sincerely,
CITY OF CHANHASSEN
