The subdivision resulted in dividing 5.59 acres into 2 lots with an area of 1.9 acres for Lot 1 and 3.0 acres for Lot 2. Lot 1 became the site for the Emission Control Testing Station which was approved as a conditional use permit concurrently with the subdivision. Lot 2 was reserved for future development and is being proposed for subdivision into three lots with this application. ' On February 8, 1993, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for the proposal with the following conditions: ' 1. Park and trail dedication fees to be assessed at the time building permits are requested. 2. Provide the following easements: a. A standard 5 -foot wide drainage and utility easement shall be dedicated along the common lot line between Lots 1 and 2, Block 1. This easement has been provided b. Drainage easement located over the drainage pond. This easement has been provided 1 PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 1 Don Ashworth April 21, 1993 ' Page 2 ' c. A drainage and utility easement along the easterly 20 feet of Lot 3, Block 1. This easement has been provided 3. Enter into a development agreement acceptable to the city. 4. A driveway or cross - access easement for use of the existing and proposed street shall be ' dedicated in favor of Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 1. The easement agreement shall be drafted and filed concurrently with a private maintenance agreement acceptable to the City. Both Agreements should be filed at the county concurrently with the Development ' Contract and Final Plat by the City. 5. The developer shall obtain and comply with all necessary permits from the Watershed District, Health Department, etc. 6. If construction of public improvements proceed beyond freeze -up, special modifications to construction practices shall be incorporated as directed by the City Engineer, i.e. full depth select granular material for trench backfill, etc. ' 7. The developer shall construct the sanitary sewer and watermain improvements in accordance with the latest edition of the City's Standard Specification and Detail Plates ' and submit final plans and specifications for formal City approval. The applicant has submitted final construction plans and specifications for city approval. Formal approval is subject to some minor plan revisions per staff ' recommendations. Therefore, this condition is technically still valid. 8. Outlot A shall be included with the replatting of Chan Haven Plaza 4th Addition. The outlot shall be replatted /combined with Lot 3, Block 1. This condition has been met. 9. The developer shall revise the detention pond to accommodate 0.95 acre /feet of runoff below the 927.0' contour line. This condition has been met. 10. Erosion control measures (silt fence - Type I) shall be shown on the grading plan. Type I silt fence shall be installed along the north, east and southeasterly perimeters of the plat. This condition has been met. 11. The applicant shall reimburse the city for all engineering consultant fees associated with the storm water study. This condition has been met. Don Ashworth April 21, 1993 Page 3 The subdivision proposal is a relatively simple request that will serve to divide the site (3.136 ' acres) into three lots, one of which will contain the Goodyear building (40.908 square feet), the second will contain the Abra building (33,919 square feet), and the third (76819 square feet) will be reserved for future development. Conditions proposed for review would result in dedication of all required easements. ACCESS 1 Access to the development is provided by an existing private street off Lake Drive East which services the Minnesota Vehicle Inspection Station (MVIS). Similarly, this development does not propose any public right -of -way for extension of the proposed street and therefore access to the lots will be private. A driveway or cross - access easement should be recorded in conjunction with the final plat recording to guarantee access to Lots 1 and 2, Block 1. There should also be a joint maintenance agreement, acceptable to the city, filed against each parcel. We do not wish to see the city petitioned to accept the street at some point in the future. 1 The existing private street was built in accordance to the City's typical commercial pavement design with the thought that someday it would be dedicated back to the City for ownership. Engineering staff feels with the concept proposed the City will not be taking ownership of the street and therefore the street pavement/parking lot designs may be designed accordingly. The final plat provides the necessary drainage and utility easement for the public improvements and ponding. GRADING AND DRAINAGE t The site is approximately six feet lower than the Minnesota Vehicle Inspection Station. The plan proposes to regrade a portion of the access drive to provide a smooth transition between , developments. Storm drainage from the proposed development will sheet flow across the driveways and parking lot areas and then conveyed via storm sewer system to a proposed detention pond located over the southerly portion of Lot 3, Block 1. Staff has reviewed the size of the detention pond and found it meets capacity requirements. The pond however, is not designed to meet NURP standards. To do so would require additional wet area which would severely compromise the utility of Lot 3. Staff believes that this problem can be addressed downstream at a city owned pond. The developer should be required to pay an equivalent fee ($7580.00) into the Surface Water Management Program fund to accomplish these improvements downstream. The fee was computed by the city's storm water consultant, Bonestroo. The applicant is proposing a series of catch basins and storm sewer to convey runoff to the ponding basin. From the city's standpoint, the catch basins and storm sewers located within the drainage basin and main street access should be owned by the city to maintain drainage. The 1 1 Don Ashworth April 21, 1993 1 Page 4 individual storm sewer line extended between Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 from the street should be maintained and owned by the individual property owners. Erosion control measures are incorporated onto the grading plan. Type I silt fence is proposed to be installed along the east and southeasterly sides of the development. 1 PUBLIC UTILITIES Both municipal sanitary sewer and watermain are available to the site. The plans propose on 1 extending the existing 6 -inch watermain and looping to the existing 10 -inch watermain located just east of the development. Sanitary sewer was extended previously in conjunction with development of the Minnesota Vehicle Inspection Station. The applicant is proposing to extend 1 sanitary sewer and water service to each lot. All utility construction should be in conformance with the latest edition of the city's standard specification and detailed plates. Utility construction plans and specifications have been submitted to the Engineering Department for review. Since the development will include construction of public improvements, it will be necessary for P P P the applicant to enter into a development contract and provide the financial security to guarantee installation of the public improvements. Upon completion of these public improvements, the city will formally accept for perpetual maintenance and ownership most of the utilities within the ' utility and drainage easements. The city will not be responsible for ownership and maintenance of the storm sewer extended between Lots 1 and 2, Block 1. This is considered a private storm sewer line. 1 All three lots will be served with municipal utilities. The appropriate hookup fees will be charged at the time of building permit issuance. 1 COMPLIANCE TABLE Ordinance Lot 1 Lot 2 Lot 3 Lot Area 20,000 s.f. 33,919 s.f. 40,908 s.f. 76.819 s.f. 1 Variances Required - none PARK AND TRAIL DEDICATION FEES ' The City is requiring that park and trail fees be submitted in lieu of park land. Fees are paid at the time building permits are requested. These fees are currently assessed at a rate of $2,500 per 1 Don Ashworth 1 April 21, 1993 Page 5 ' acre and $833 per acre for park and trail fees, respectively. As such, the Goodyear site will be charged $3,245 in park and trail fees, and the Abra site will be charged $2,614. RECOMMENDATION ' Staff recommends approval of the final plat for Subdivision #90 -17 for Chan Haven Plaza 4th Addition as shown on the plat dated April 19, 1993, with the following conditions: 1. Park and trail dedication fees to be assessed at the time building permits are requested. 2. Enter into a development agreement acceptable to the city. 3.

Harding 530 West 79th Street II Tom Kotsonas 8001 Cheyenne Avenue Sharmin Al -Jaff: Approximately a month ago you reviewed the subdivision, site II plan and conditional use permit request for the development of a Goodyear auto service facility. Tabled action on the proposal as architectural and site design issues surfaced. Staff was directed to investigate the possibility of a moratorium along Highway 5. The applicant was directed to revise the plans by II providing additional landscaping along the south portion of Lot 1, and change the exterior finish from block concrete to brick. The applicant has not submitted the requested changes. However, staff changed the conditions of I approval for the site plan review to reflect your recommendations from last month in conditions 10, 11 and 12. The additional landscaping is reflected as well as changing the exterior materials to brick is also reflected. There were II some additional concerns such as noise level. We changed the conditions of the conditional use permit as you had requested and with that we are recommending II 23 II City Council Meeting - Febru. 8, 1993 approval of this application. Thank you. Mayor Chmiel: Thank you. Is the applicant here? Jim Larkin: I'm Jim Larkin and I'm representing the owner of the property, the Mason family and asking that the Council vote approval of the conditional use permit without requiring the two conditions which have been added since the last meeting. That is the brick and the additional landscaping. Mr. Beisner, the 1: developer who has spent over 10 months trying to work with the city and it's staff and has made significant and multiple designing changes over that period of time in order to meet the requests of a variety of constituencies, will speak to what he has done and show you what are the latest drawings and we ask you that you consider them for what they are and not for a particular type of material that is being used. I would note to you that if you look at the Target store which is presently under construction, the exterior material on the Beisner project, or excuse me, the Goodyear and Abra project are as good or better than that material. If you look at the buildings immediately to the north on Highway 5, which would be where a driver coming into the city would logically look first, they are of material that is no better than and probably less than that will be proposed. The result of continually changing the requirements is to impose what eventually becomes an uneconomic burden or such a strong economic burden on the development that it can no longer go forward because who pays for commercial developments ultimately are the members of the public whose prices are raised. These two developments between them will create some 10 to 20 jobs per unit, or at least based on the information that has been made available to me, 25 jobs at a time when the economy is not creating a great number of jobs. So given all of those factors, I would ask that you listen to Mr. Beisner as he goes through what he has done and shows to you the current views of the property as it would appear upon completion. Thank you for your attention. Al Beisner: I'm Al Beisner, the developer. I'm the one that caused all the commotion before and we are here basically again with probably not a change in our design from last time. Not a change in the placement from last time. But this time with some more answers to some of the questions that we may or may not have been aware of back when it was presented at the earlier meeting. Some of the considerations that I want you to know and what we've done in this process. Basically we start out, and we started this project about 10 months ago and we did go to the City. We located the site. We found that the original site that we wanted to build a Goodyear store on was not properly zoned. We went to staff. went to the City and they directed us to the location where we are currently proposing these developments. We submitted all of the information necessary to staff in September and at their request we did virtually everything that was in the requirements for a conditional use and a BH zone. In fact we went further. We put in twice the landscaping that was required and throughout the last 4 or 5, 6 months, we have made no less than 8 changes to the Abra store and 3 or 4 changes to the Goodyear store. When I talked earlier about levers that you have, you have some of those levers and we went above and beyond. We have spent almost 2 1/2 times as much on architecture to get to this point than we had originally proposed. Just making all the changes that were requested. We followed, so that this was not a rush job to get through here, we followed a very slow procedural process here. The first meeting that we were to attend was October 21st. That was a Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission meeting was cancelled because there was a lack of a quorum. The next Planning 24 II City Council Meeting - February 8, 1993 Commission meeting was November 4th. That meeting was cancelled because staff I failed to give proper legal notice to the residents. On November 18th we went to the next Planning Commission. That Planning Commission meeting was, or the item was tabled. At all three of those meetings the staff had recommended the I . plans we had. The fourth Planning Commission meeting occurred on December 2nd and the staff recommended our project and at that meeting it was approved unanimously. On December 14th we were to have the first City Council meeting. We showed up at the first City, or we were on the agenda for the first City I Council meeting and then staff pulled us off the agenda because staff didn't like the design at that time. We were rescheduled for the January llth meeting which was last month and that's when we decided we'd go through the moratorium I business. And so we're back here now in February and we have been patient and have done I think as much as we could within the requirements of the conditional use permit and the BH highway zone. A couple of things that you should be aware of that we go through. When I got into the process early on in the game, it's II important that I number one arrange financing. It's important number 2 that I have a lease signed. For prior to signing a lease with Goodyear we have to have the project costed out, as Goodyear will sign a lease based upon a multiple II of what the costs are and Goodyear does approve the costs and Goodyear, and a representative from Goodyear is here this evening, if you care to ask him any questions. But Goodyear has built many of these and they know what their costs I are. They are like many of the other large major retail corporations. They know the economics of the area by the demographics of the area. They know that they can afford to pay so much in rent in this location because they feel this is what the business will be. anything more than that might not be economically II viable for the operator and for Goodyear. A lot of the businesses that you see vacant back and forth on the strip here between here and 494 that are vacant, don't look very good when they're vacant. They went out of business because 1 they couldn't handle it. Their projections were wrong. In the Goodyear store, with the design that we had with the split faced block, the economics are so that we think the business can make it and we think that that is more important, I or I shouldn't say more important but that is a very, very important consideration when you go forth with any venture. The last thing I think you want is to have us build a building that looks good on the outside. Have Goodyear sign a lease. Have the operator come in and can't make the lease I payments because the business is not there. He folds up. Closes the door. It's vacant. Even though Goodyear's still paying the rent, it's a vacant building and so there's more that goes into the whole process and let's just have some II cost here and cost there. We may not have been here today if in fact back in July that brick on a building would have been a requirement. We would have said Neil, this is how much more cost for brick on the building. This is how much II more your rent is going to be, and he would have said, we probably can't afford it or would have cut down the size. He also went through his process to get this lease approved in Akron, Ohio and that was no small feat either because we've just recently received the final signed leases back, and that took about 4 II months. So it's all a very slow process. I guess I wanted to show you that so you don't think we come in here and can slap up a building here or there, whatever. A couple of things I wanted to address about uses and why I think II this building is good for this location. Number one, there's an emission control building there. Theoretically, x number of cars have to go through that emission control building every year, every month, whatever to be inspected. If there's something wrong with the emission control or with the car that goes to II the emission control building, they need to have it fixed. You can have them II 25 II City Council Meeting - February 8, 1993 drive right next door 50 feet and have it fixed, or you can have them drive 2 miles through town to the other end of town to have it fixed. What you're doing is just creating more traffic. I think when you talk about a land use that we had talked about previously, this is a good use for the property and we think that having a Goodyear there and hopefully having the Abra right next to it, will concentrate all of those uses together. I was also a little concerned about some of the comments that were made about the gateway and I'm still uncertain where the gateway is because from the west it's Target and from the east, I would have thought the gateway was down there, I think it's on Dell Road. I understand there's going to be a bus garage there or, that's not the gateway? People have told me there are different gateways and I wasn't sure and these buildings that we are proposing and the Goodyear building tonight, I think ' is as good a looking building as you will find on all of Highway 5. I'm not particularly pleased with the looks of the emission control building. To me it looks, and I know it's been well liked here I guess, I'm sorry, but it looks more like a smaller Menards to me than it does you know a good building. There are things wrong with the McDonald's. For one their parapets don't go up high enough to cover their rooftop HVAC units. I can see the green. That's not good. A couple things that we have done with that in the Goodyear building I'd like to walk you through. Is we first recessed the building, we've recessed the building. we moved the building further away from Highway 5 because we thought that Highway 5 was a sensitive area. We were told that and so we moved it as far away from Highway 5 as we possibly could. We've also on both buildings, to show you the detail we put into this. We staggered the buildings. We don't have a straight building. We don't have a straight face there. One building is staggered behind the other one. We do not have the doors facing, on the Goodyear building, there are 4 doors on each side. They aren't facing the freeway. They're facing Abra and they're facing the emission control. Something else that you can't see here but if you walk the property, you'll be able to see. This site is about 5 feet lower than the emission control site. I don't know why it was engineered as such but this is higher, our elevation is 5 feet lower. So virtually from the west we will be almost, I shouldn't say it in front of Neil, the Goodyear guy, but we might be invisible because of the emission control blocking the view of this building. We basically, as I mentioned, spent twice as much on landscaping in this location as your ordinance requires. We did that because we think it looks better and we did it because we have underground sprinklers in the green area and we think that will make for good looking green area all the way around. This is a bird's eye view from Highway 5, if you will. We have a 3 1/2 to 4 foot berm that surrounds, or is on the north border of the site. Over on this side we virtually have a 5 foot drop so we aren't visible. The parking lot will not be seen from Highway 5 in this design unlike the emission control and unlike the McDonald's and unlike many of the others. Those are the details that we have gone to on the site plan. On our building plan. This is a colored rendering. The ones that you have, we have two more gables in here to break up even further that roof line. We've introduced this blue element to break up the one color sameness of the entire building. Keep in mind too that this building is only 5,200 square feet where Target's 118,000 square feet. I mean this building is probably maybe smaller than many of your homes and the end facing the freeway is only 52 feet across. People are rich out in Chanhassen aren't they? There's the two gables here. And this we changed again because staff wanted to break up that roof line but you're only looking at 100 feet along here and you're only looking at 52 feet along here and that's not a very big building. It's not significant. If we 26 , 1 City Council Meeting - February 8, 1993 were 3 or 4 stories, or 6 stories, or in the middle of an intersection, there'd be something. i brought along samples. This is a split faced block that we've used and there are probably 30, 40 different kinds of architectural block that you can use. This is one of the architectural blocks that we plan on using. ' Something else, and i was going to run a quiz. This is what we all think is brick, and this is brick. But, and it's a gamble that I was going to take but I decided not to. The block on the bottom, that's brick. Believe it or not, that's brick. They've come out now with what they call an atlas brick. It's ' the same size as a concrete block and they're using that, the contractor Ox, down the road distributes this and sells this. There are only 3 or 4 choices of that but we in the architectural group thought that a solid faced of that kind of brick is just one flat solid sheet wall that doesn't have any interest to it and really is not in good architectural taste. I wanted to, I have a comment here. I have a quote here that I have to get in and it's basically, this is what Frank Lloyd Wright, who we all know was a wonderful architect, says about architecture and building materials. I quote, "It's not what the basic material is as to whether or not it's good or bad, it's how you use it." And we can build a brick building that looks bad and we can build an architectural scored ' block building that looks great. We plan on doing that. We hope to do that and I think it will be a building you'll be proud of. I don't know if many of you are familiar with Summit Avenue area and Crocus Hill, but I've done some work in that area and Crocus Hill, Summit Avenue area in St. Paul has the largest concentration of Victorian homes in the United States and they are architecturally sensitive to everything that goes on over in the Crocus Hill area. Several years ago they got together, there were some homes being built in ' the area when the old ones were torn down. The new ones were put up, that didn't adhere to their "Victorian standards ". They have about a 28 page standard book that if you are going to build a home in that area again, you have ' to adhere to all 28 pages of directives and they get down to material type. They get down to arches and peaks and whatever. They do the whole thing. About 5th and Summit Avenue, an architect and a public relations person built a duplex. ' They met with the architectural control committee and they did everything that there was in that 28 page ordinance, and then what they did is they painted it purple and it's still there and you can go see it. It met everything architectural there is to do and I was aghast by it and I go by it about once a ' year to show you that you can impose some things. If it's not done in good taste...from the beginning, it's not ever going to be done right. There is nothing that the Summit Hill and Crocus Hill area people and architectural control committee could do. We aren't planning on painting this purple. We want it to be in good taste. Good quality...show you that we all aren't as bad of developers as some people think. We're trying to do some business in South ' St. Paul and I wrote and asked for some information and this was an unsolicited letter back from the City Administrator. So in talking about us doing a quality development and quality building, we mean it... Sorry we weren't aware of brick before. We weren't aware of a lot of things that we found out later and we've been patient and I think that staff will tell you that we've worked as hard as we could and be as nice each of us could to each other under the circumstance. I'm here for questions. Councilman Mason: Al, one real quick one. Now this color that we see now is an accurate reflection of what you have? 1 Al Beisner: Yes. It's sort of like that with the Goodyear... ' 27 City Council Meeting - Feb .ry 8, 1993 Mayor Chmiel: Any other questions? Thank you. Is there anyone else wishing to address this? Please come forward and state your name and your address please. Tom Kotsonas: Tom Kotsonas, Chanhassen Estates. Very quickly. The building may be architecturally fantastic but I think it's very important to keep in mind that if Goodyear goes in, Abra goes in, there's another lot that could be Champion Auto. It could be Rossi Auto. It could be whatever. I mean how do you say no to the last one that goes in there? We have an emission station. We have McDonald's that, excuse me. I'm a little emotional but was shoved down our throat and as he said, architecturally is an eyesore on that corner. It's got a wall that's falling in. We have a Sinclair gas station next to it. You go up the highway. We have an auto something with boats stored outside that you look 11 at from going along the highway. You have the Rapid Oil we've talked about. We've got the Brown Standard. Go around the metro area and you find me a site in the metro area that has this many, this concentrated type of activity and look at the neighborhood around it. The neighborhood that's there now is a fine neighborhood. It's an older neighborhood. I'm also a 20 year plus taxpayer in Chanhassen and I have, and so do my neighbors, have as much right to our protection as a developer who doesn't live here. None of these people live here. They're going to develop and they're going to be gone. Thank you. Mayor Chmiel: Thank you. Is there anyone else? If seeing none, I'll bring it back to Council. Councilman Wing: Could I just ask that we start, I asked Sharmin to draw up a sketch of a possible option here that I'd just like to show the Council just for information. And I guess this was prompted by Bill Morrish stating that maybe it's desireable to kind of keep parking off the road and keep the greenway spaces as wide as we can and I just suggested that if we moved the building north, kept the greenway and kept the parking off of Highway 5, and moved the trash bins to elsewhere on the property, and I don't know how this turned out or what Council thinks about this but this is just a suggestion I had. And by the way, I want to just, Mr. Beisner's been a very, a real quality gentleman and I told him. I called him to comment on my suggestion here that I wanted to bring this up tonight but I wanted to point out that we don't get to see this until now and then it's dumped on us and it's really awkward. You know last time we were really stunned by it and the neighborhood's concern about land use and you know it's kind of done and so then all of a sudden you get confronted by the Council that is really looking at this for the first time and I can't apologize for that. It's the system but at any rate, Sharmin can you go on with what we had talked about. gust for Council's information. Sharmin Al -Jaff: With this design the building is pushed to the north. You get ' a 50 foot depth of green space versus the 35 that was there before. The parking was moved to the south. They're losing one parking space but still exceeds the ordinance requirements. Again, it pushes the parking away from Highway 5 to the south and we get additional green space. Councilwoman Dockendorf: With the berms that are currently proposed in front on Highway 5. Will we really see the parking? Driving along or is the berm going to be high enough where if it stays where it currently is platted? 28 City Council Meeting - February 8, 1993 1 Sharmin Al -Jaff: It should be high enough to where you won't be able to. ' Councilwoman Dockendorf: So we're pushing the building further back and. Sharmin Al - Jaff: We're bringing the building closer. Councilwoman Dockendorf: Right. My concern is if we can keep the building back off the highway and not see the parking. 1 Al Beisner: One of the other concerns too, and these are all sorts of great suggestions and some of the suggestions...so there's three sides I think to ' everything in here that we looked at. You will not be able to see the parking lot. If you look closely, these little things here are cars...and that's what you should...you can see the tops of them. If they are small foreign cars, you won't see the tops of them and that's from the freeway...The berm is 3 1/2 to 4 feet. Mayor Chmiel: We know what the topography is on the highway as opposed to the ' proposed construction site? Paul Krauss: well we do know what the elevation of the highway is. We've got the as -built drawings. Mayor Chmiel: Looking at a sight line is what I'm saying. Sitting in a Position of a vehicle. 1 Paul Krauss: We have not verified it from that standpoint. What you'd want to do is pick a point on the highway and then go 4 feet above it because that's where the driver's eyes typically are. Al Beisner: The freeway is 935 according to this drawing. 1 Mayor Chmiel: 935? What's your contour on the site? Councilman Senn: 935. It drops down to the drainage ditch. Councilman Mason: How would moving the building effect the neighborhood behind it? 1 Paul Krauss: I understand it's a sensitive issue for the neighborhood but I really don't think it effects it one iota. I mean you've still got an intervening site that's going to have a building on it at some point. ' Mayor Chmiel: Some type of building is going to be located on the vacant lot. Councilman Wing: What are you going to do with that one, just out of curiosity? That could be another automotive center under the present ordinance right? Paul Krauss: It's very likely. That is one of the allowed uses there. Not to play devil's advocate but also one of the allowed uses is another fast food restaurant. Now I think this is really casting the die where they don't have enough parking to do anything like that so you're talking about a lower intensity type of use. It doesn't, I understand it doesn't make the neighbors 1 29 City Council Meeting - February 8, 1993 feel any better to know that it could be worst if that's the perspective. But r I'm hoping that enough is gleaned from the direction of the Council here that before they come in with that third building, we will have more information to tell them that do it this way and we can give you better assurance of it's smooth passage through the Planning Commission and Council. Councilman Wing: How about to the east? Same situation. ' Paul Krauss: Well east is the Abra building. Councilman Wing: Okay, after Abra. ' Paul Krauss: There is nothing left. Then you go over to the IOP property. The DataSery property. Councilman Wing: So this is the specific area the neighborhood's going to be effected with? Paul Krauss: This is the end of that commercial use, yes. Al Beisner: One other thing that I found out in doing a Goodyear store as opposed to others. Goodyear, because they are basically very, very full service, will probably eliminate from use the competition of a Midas Muffler, Meinke this or those kinds of uses because Goodyear does do all of those. And once you have Goodyear in a situation, the others probably won't come in. There are a couple that are complimentary but there will be less of an option for any servicing going on in a third site is Goodyear is there because they are so full service. If we don't do a Goodyear there and do a Meinke Muffler, then there's a be' '- chance that there would be another servicing kind of thing being there. Right • we have no plans for anything on the other site, and as I mentioned last time. At one point in time, yes. Rossi Big Wheel, we were in contact. We've also had a contact as of late with a dentist in town who's thinking about maybe building a little clinic there. We also had a conversation that Sharmin sent out way from the Dance studio. They wanted to put a dance studio there. It's hard to project right now. We have nothing that we're thinking about beyond these two sites. Mayor Chmiel: Any other discussion? ' Councilman Mason: So real quickly, what's the benefit to the city to moving the building? ' Paul Krauss: Well, if I could touch on that. One of the proposals in the Morrish program is that highways, frontage roads, parking lots, when they're done in the typical sense, it will take you about a quarter mile wide blacktop strip. And Bill wasn't the first guy to come up with this. There's been articles, a famous one, Jonathan Barnett. And one of the things that he proposed is that you seek to do the opposite. That you focus development on , roads such as Lake Drive, you know that run parallel to Highway with a remote location. And that you seek to put as much unencumbered green space, ideally landscaped green space between the highway and the use and that you put the building up close and bury the most obnoxious, the more high intensity aspects of the site away from the frontage. So that's basically what you're striving to 1: 30 City Council Meeting - February 8, 1993 do if you push the building up closer and it's a trade -off. The building is closer and assuming it's not an unattractive building, it's not a very big building, it's still going to be set back 50 feet from the property line and it's more than that from the traveled right -of -way because it has a ditch section through there. But the green space, the area of green space is widened out by an additional 15 feet. ' Al Beisner: To move the Goodyear building forward, and had we done that 8 months ago, it would not have been a problem. Not too big a problem. Right now we've engineered the site for where it is right now. We've taken soil tests for ' the site for where it is right now. We've done all the architecture for the site for where it is right now. We find out two things. Number one, if we do move the building, we have to pay more for re- architecture. Re- engineer and new soil tests, and that's only another $15,000.00 - 417,000.00 that we can add to the cost. I mean it doesn't seem like it, plus the front of the freeway, as you go further north on the site, our soil tests are worse, which we didn't know until we actually took them but it will substantially, you know cost more. Mayor Chmiel: Do we have soil borings on this site Paul? Paul Krauss: No. Mr. Beisner I'm sure could provide us with it. We haven't seen it. Al Beisner: The worst spot that we have is right here. And it gets, as it goes this way it gets better and that was just dumb luck because...so that's an extra cost for soil correction there... ' Mayor Chmiel: Any other discussion? Hearing none, I would entertain a motion. Councilman Mason: I think we've got to move on it. It seems to me with this ' being a conditional use permit, they've done everything they need to do. I understand the concern about raising the cost. However, I certainly think the city would gain quite a bit by moving the location of the building. So with, boy I'm going to need some help getting through this one I think. I would move ' approval of the conditional use permit with the caveat, or I guess it would be • number 9, and it sounds like it would probably entail some further discussions with the city about moving the location of the building to create more green space. Manor Chmiel: Could I just back up one? Could we go back up to item (a), ' replat Lot 2, Block 1 and get that. Councilman Mason: Oh, I'm sorry. Mayor Chmiel: Then move into the conditional use. Councilman Mason: Alright, yeah. I'm sorry. I'd like to cross whatever I said ' and move to replat Lot 2, Block 1 of Chan Haven Plaza 3rd Addition into 3 lots. Roger Knutson: Is that subject to the conditions set forth in the report that you have? Councilman Mason: Yes. ' 31 City Council Meeting - Febr-lry 8, 1993 1 Mayor Chmiel: Thank you for clarification. Is there a second? 1 Councilwoman Dockendorf: Which? But what conditions? Roger Knutson: You have them in your packet, under Subdivision. The list of / conditions. Councilwoman Dockendorf: Okay. 1 Mayor Chmiel: They aren't in sequence. They're a little out of sequence but the subdivision is with the approval of Subdivision $90 -17. 1 Councilman Wing: I'll second that. Mayor Chmiel: Any other discussion? 1 Councilman Mason moved, Councilman Wing seconded to approve the preliminary plat for Subdivision #90 -17 for Chan Haven Plaza 4th Addition as shown on the plat dated September 21, 1992, with the following conditions: 1. Park and trail dedication fees to be assessed at the time building permits are requested. 2. Provide the following easements: a.

Mayor Chmiel: Second item would be conditional use permit to locate an auto service related use in the BH, Business Highway district. Councilman Wing: I guess we've decided that. I'll so move. ' Mayor Chmiel: It's been moved and seconded. With conditions as indicated within staff report? Councilman Wing: Mr. Mayor, would we want to, there was concern about banners. Temporary signage. Flags. Exterior tire displays and I believe this would go under the conditional use permit. I would add an addition here that there be no banner, exterior banners, temporary signage, flags, or exterior tire displays. ' And a second one of, I think this is the recommendation of Council, of hours of not earlier than 7:00 and not later than 7:00. Hours of 7:00 to 7:00. Mayor Chmiel: 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Councilman Wing: 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ' Councilman Mason: Do we have a second on that yet? Mayor Chmiel: No, not yet. Councilman Mason: I'll second it. ' 33 City Council Meeting - F uary 8, 1993 Councilman Wing moved, Councilman Mason seconded to approve Conditional Use Permit 192 -2 as follows: 1. Permit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the City of , Chanhassen hereby grants a conditional use permit for the following use: Auto Service Facility. 2. Property. The permit is for the following described property ( "subject property ") in the City of Chanhassen, Carver County, Minnesota: Lot 1, Block 1, Chan Haven Plaza 3rd Addition. ' 3. Conditions.

Hours of operation shall be between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Chmiel: Item (c), the Site Plan Review for 5,397 square foot Goodyear Tire building. And that would be Site Plan Review *92-3 and conditions 1 thru 13 and there's been some objections about item 12. Councilman Wing: 12 I support. I like the store in Eden Prairie and I don't think we should step below that with the brick so, and as far as moving the store, I'd like to see that left to Council. I don't want to be impulsive on that. It didn't go through the Planning Commission process and suddenly here we are tonight making a major change. I want to make sure that's fair and in the right order and I don't want to see that passed over too rapidly. It's my only opportunity to bring that forth and it's somewhat impulsive to both the 1: 34 City Council Meeting - February 8, 1993 developer and us I think. I think it's a good idea. It seems to have met with ' staff's approval. There's some advantages to the setback. There's some advantages to having it up front and I want to make sure that's clarified. ' Councilman Senn: Did the Planning Commission consider that? Mayor Chmiel: I don't believe that was a part of their recommendation. Councilman Wing: No, and that's my frustration because unless I address them, which I choose not to do normally, it doesn't get brought up until it gets here and then it's, the process gets difficult. ' Councilman Senn: Should they? Should it go back to them? Councilman Wing: I'm not going to send Mr. Beisner back. Councilman Senn: I'm just asking you. You're the one raising the question. Councilman Wing: I suggested that based on Mr. Morrish's comments, that he has been working with the city on, that there was some credibility to expanding the green space. Doing away with the trash bins on that north side, which by moving it up the trash bins would have to be moved to the side. Getting that element off of Highway 5. That's all. I mean this is a start in the right direction. Mayor Chmiel: I would probably support that. The question that I have in compliance with that requirement, as their counsel indicated, is that can we substantiate that portion of it. ' Roger Knutson: It seems like a, it's within your discretion to impose that sort of condition on a conditional use permit. You design the site to a better, more compatible with the area and is more aesthetically pleasing. But if you want to impose that, you should impose that as part of the conditional use permit and I don't think you should leave it to staff to decide whether it's further out. That's something you really have to decide. ' Mayor Chmiel: Right. Strictly up to Council. Bring it back to the Conditional Use Permit, that would make that item 12 into item number 9? Is that correct? ' Roger Knutson: You have 10 conditions down now? Mayor Chmiel: On the conditional use you have 8 requirements. ' Roger Knutson: But conditions were added. Hours of 7:00 to 7:00 and no exterior flags, tires, etc. Mayor Chmiel: No banners, temporary signage, flags or tire displays, and operation from 7:00 to 7:00. ' Roger Knutson: Right. And this would be number 11. Mayor Chmiel: 10 and 11. 9, 10 and 11. Okay. Alright, but that should fall back under the conditional use which we already had voted upon. 1 1 35 City Council Meeting - FeF ary 8, 1993 Roger Knutson: You can put it in the site plan I guess because you've adopted ' the conditional use permit. Mayor Chmiel: Well that's where it's at is under the site plan review. Okay. That was my question. Councilman Mason: The question I just asked here is would we see more or less if we pushed it back further because of the angle of the berm and all that. I mean if we're going to see more of it I don't. Mayor Chmiel: The building in itself? , Councilman Mason: Yeah. Councilman Senn: You're creating, in effect what his suggestion does is create ' more green space, which allows you to still address the berm just as adequately. And all you're doing is shoving the building forward. Councilman Mason: Right. Right. Councilman Senn: So you won't see any more or less. I mean I think what Dick's suggestion is more of a consideration of what do you consider more important. The highway side or the neighborhood side. Councilman Wing: Well the neighborhood side's going to be blocked and that's ' going to. Mayor Chmiel: It's going to be blocked by another building once that comes in. Councilwoman Dockendorf: I would just as soon keep it as far off the highway but definitely move the trash. One thing I don't like when I'm driving on Highway 5 is I see Festival Food's trash. Councilman Wing: Tell you what, being that the brick is a new condition and it's fairly costly, I'll go along with the present position with the brick and item number 14 I think goes under this would be that the trash receptacles be moved to an off highway side. Mayor Chmiel: As item number 14? Councilman Wing: Yeah. The northern trash receptacles would have to be moved to preferably a west, the west side of that building. Or at least off the Highway 5. Councilwoman Dockendorf: East wouldn't you think? ' Mayor Chmiel: Well, if you're not going to see a car facing Highway 5, you're not going to see the trash containers facing to the north. 1 Councilwoman Dockendorf: I'm not so sure about that though. I mean that's further back than where the cars would be parked. The cars would be parked right up to the berm. The trash would be. ! 36 City Council Meeting - rebruary 8, 1993 Councilman Wing: It won't be a straight facade. It will be the north side with the trash receptacles what, up to 5 feet or 6 feet? I don't have that. Mayor Chmiel Depending on your sight line as to what you're looking at. Councilman Mason: Along with trash what, I don't remember and I'm sure it was in the report. What's the trash receptable? Are there going to be doors? Councilwoman Dockendorf: It's going to be covered with. ' Councilman Mason: That's right. Yeah, it's covered. It's totally enclosed isn't it, as I recall. ' Paul Krauss: It's going to be made out of the same materials as the building. Councilman Mason: Yeah, right. Councilwoman Dockendorf: Chainlink door though. Paul Krauss: But that faces to the side. 1 Mayor Chmiel: That's covered. That's taken care of. So that would mean that item 14 would not be on. Leave it up to 13. Okay, call for a motion. ' Councilman Mason: So the motion is, to accept the site plan review #92 -3, items 1 thru 13? ' Mayor Chmiel: Very good. Councilman Mason: Is that correct? 1 M: >'or Chmiel: Yes. Councilman Mason: I will move approval of Site Plan Review #92 -3 with the conditions as stated in the staff report. Councilwoman Dockendorf: I will second it. 1 Mayor Chmiel: It's been moved and seconded. Any other discussions? 1 - ouncilaan Mason moved, Councilwoman Dockendorf seconded to approve Site Plan •eview #92 -3 as shown on the site plan dated November 30, 1992, subject to the tollowing conditions: ' 1. A 4 foot variance to achieve a 12 foot high monument sign. This sign which will face Highway 5 shall contain only the names of the occupants of Lots ' 1, 2 and 3.

Right to Proceed. Within the plat or land to be platted, the Developer may not grade or otherwise disturb the earth, remove trees, construct sewer lines, water lines, streets, utilities, ' public or private improvements, or any buildings until all the following conditions have been satisfied: 1) this agreement has been fully executed by both parties and filed with the City Clerk, 2) the necessary security and fees have been received by the City, 3) the plat has been recorded with the County Recorder's Office of the County where the plat is located, and 4) the City Engineer has issued a letter that the foregoing conditions have been satisfied 1 and then the Developer may proceed. 2. Phased Development. If the plat is a phase of a multi- phased preliminary plat, the City may refuse to approve final plats of subsequent phases if the Developer has breached this Contract and the breach has not been remedied. Development of subsequent phases may not proceed until Development Contracts for such phases are approved by the City. 3. Effect of Subdivision Approval. For two (2) years from the date of this Contract, no amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan, except an amendment placing the plat in the current urban service area, or official controls shall apply to or affect the use, development density, lot size, lot layout or dedications of the approved plat unless required by state or federal law or agreed to in writing by the City and the Developer. Thereafter, notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, to the full extent permitted by state law the City may require compliance with any amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan, official controls, platting or dedication requirements ' enacted after the date of this Contract. 4. Improvements. The improvements specified in the Special Provisions of this Contract shall be installed in accordance with City standards, ordinances, and plans and specifications which have been prepared and signed by a competent registered professional engineer furnished to the City and approved by the City Engineer. The Developer shall obtain all necessary permits from the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission and other agencies before proceeding with construction. The City will, at the Developer's ' expense, have one or more construction inspectors and a soil engineer inspect the work on a full or part -time basis. The Developer shall instruct its engineer to respond to questions from the City Inspector(s) and to make periodic site visits to satisfy ' that the construction is being performed to an acceptable level of quality in accordance with the engineer's design. The Developer or GC -1 1 his engineer shall schedule a preconstruction meeting at a mutually agreeable time at the City Council chambers with all parties concerned, including the City staff, to review the program for the construction work. Within sixty (60) days after the completion of the improvements and before the security is released, the Developer shall supply the City with the following: (1) a complete set of reproducible Mylar as -built plans, (2) two complete sets of blue line as -built plans, (3) two complete sets of utility tie sheets, (4) location of buried fabric used for soil stabilization, (5) location stationing and swing ties of all utility stubs, (6) bench mark network, and (7) a 200 scale and a 500 scale reproducible Mylar copy of the plat. 5. Iron Monuments. Before the security for the completion of utilities is released, all monuments must be correctly placed in the ground in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 505.02, Subd. 1. The Developer's surveyor shall submit a written notice to the City certifying that the monuments have been installed. 6. License. The Developer hereby grants the City, its agents, employees, officers and contractors a license to enter the plat to perform all work and inspections deemed appropriate by the City in conjunction with plat development. ' 7. Site Erosion Control. Before the site is rough graded, and before any utility construction is commenced or building permits are issued, the erosion control plan, Plan B, shall be implemented, inspected, and approved by the City. The City may impose additional erosion control requirements if they would be beneficial. All areas disturbed by the excavation and backfilling operations shall be reseeded forthwith after the completion of the work in that area. Except as otherwise provided in the erosion control plan, seed shall be certified seed to provide a temporary ground cover as rapidly as possible. All seeded areas shall be fertilized, mulched, and disc anchored as necessary for seed retention. The parties recognize that time is of the essence in controlling erosion. If the Developer does not comply with the erosion control plan and schedule of supplementary instructions received from the City, the City may take such action as it deems appropriate to control erosion at the Developer's expense. The City will endeavor to notify the Developer in advance of any proposed action, but failure of the City to do so will not affect the Developer's and City's rights or obligations hereunder. No development will be allowed and no building permits will be issued unless the plat is in full compliance with the erosion control requirements. Erosion control needs to be maintained until vegetative cover has been restored, even if construction has been completed and accepted. After the site has been stabilized to where, in the opinion of the City, there is no longer a need for erosion control, the City will authorize the removal of the erosion ' control, i.e. hay bales and silt fence. The Developer shall remove and dispose of the erosion control measures. 8. Clean up. The Developer shall maintain a neat and 1 orderly work site and shall daily clean, on and off site, dirt and GC -2 ' 1 1 debris, including blowables, from streets and the surrounding area that has resulted from construction work by the Developer, its ' agents or assigns. 9.

Before the City accepts the improvements, the City Engineer shall be satisfied that all work is satisfactorily completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and the Developer and his engineer shall submit a written statement attesting to same with appropriate contractor waivers. Final acceptance of the public 1 improvements shall be by City Council resolution. 10. Claims. In the event that the City receives claims from ' laborers, materialmen, or others that work required by this Contract has been performed, the sums due them have not been paid, and the laborers, materialmen, or others are seeking payment out of the financial guarantees posted with the City, and if the claims are not resolved at least ninety (90) days before the security required by this Contract will expire, the Developer hereby authorizes the City to commence an Interpleader action pursuant to ' Rule 22, Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure for the District Courts, to draw upon the letters of credit in an amount up to 125% of the claim(s) and deposit the funds in compliance with the Rule, and upon such deposit, the Developer shall release, discharge, and dismiss the City from any further proceedings as it pertains to the letters of credit deposited with the District Court, except that the Court shall retain jurisdiction to determine attorneys' fees. 11.

Seed or sod shall also be placed on all disturbed areas of the lot. If these improvements are not in place at the time a certificate of occupancy is requested, a financial guarantee in the form of cash or letter of credit shall be provided to the City. Improvements are to be completed during the first growing season after issuance of the certificate of occupancy. After satisfactory inspection, the financial guarantee shall be returned. The City has established the financial guarantee at $1,000.00; however, this may be increased annually based upon cost. These requirements supplement, but do not replace, specific landscaping conditions that may have been required by the City Council for project approval. 13. Warranty. The Developer warrants all work required to be performed by it against poor material and faulty workmanship for a period of two (2) years after its completion and acceptance by the City. All trees, grass, and sod shall be warranted to be alive, of good quality, and disease free at the time of planting. All trees shall be warranted for twelve (12) months from the time of planting.
