Swings (Przymus) #2003-2 PUD and 2003-2 LUP
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The property owner is requesting a land use amendment for a portion of the site
from Residential - Low Density to Commercial on the 8 acres south of West
78th Street to permit development of a family activity center and Concept Planned
Unit Development (PUD) review for a mixed use development including a family
activity center and town homes.
While staff recommended denial of the land use map amendment and concept
PUD, the Planning Commission strongly believed that the commercial guiding
of the property was appropriate and recommended approval of the land use
amendment and concept plan for the commercial portion of the development.
PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 16, 2003, to review
the proposed development. The Planning Commission voted 5 to 0 to recommend
approval of the land use amendment from Residential - Low Density to
Commercial on the 8 acres south of West 78th Street to permit development of a
family activity center and Concept Planned Unit Development (PUD) review for a
family activity center as provided in the motion on page 11 of the staff report based
on the findings of fact and recommendation on pages 14- 16 of the staff report.
The summary and verbatim minutes are item la of the City Council packet for
October 13, 2003.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends adoption of the motions on page 11 of
the revised staff report. Since this is a legislative decision of the City Council,
staff will defer to the Commission's recommendation.
ACTION NEEDED
Concept approval requires a simple majority vote; however, at the development
stage, approval will require 4 affirmative votes of the City Council.

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
John Przymus is requesting a land use amendment from Residential - Low Density to commercial on the
eight acres south of West 78th Street to permit a family activity center development. At this stage of the
development review, the primary issue to be resolved is the land use designation of the property.
Staff is recommending denial of the land use amendment due to inconsistency with the comprehensive plan,
incompatibility with surrounding development, and noncompliance with the performance standards.
Without the land use amendment, the concept Planned Unit Development is inconsistent with the
comprehensive plan and must also be denied.
BACKGROUND
In 2000 and 2001, West 78th Street was constructed through the property, bisecting it into six and eight
acre parcels. Additionally, the city extended sanitary sewer for the BC-7 and BC-8 sanitary sewer
subdistricts across the northern portion of the property.
December 12, 1998, the Chanhassen City Council adopts the Bluff Creek Overlay District.
December 1996, Bluff Creek Watershed Natural Resources Management Plan is completed.
1996, City Council adopts the Land Uses for the North 1995 Study Area.
In August 1995, the Highway 5 Corridor Land Use Design Study was completed. The bulk of the area
was recommended for single-family residential. Multi-family residential was recommended as
appropriate for all Highway 5 frontage to the north access road. Retail/commercial was recommended
as inappropriate for the bulk of the site. A portion of the Mills property (Arboretum Village site) was
recommended for neighborhood convenience retail center, but only ancillary to office, institutional or
multi-family residential.
Highway 5 Corridor Design Standards adopted July 11, 1994.
As part of the 1991 Comprehensive Plan, this property was included as part of the 1995 study area for
determination of the land use of the property.
On February 12, 1990, the Chanhassen City Council approved a zoning ordinance amendment making
golf driving ranges interim uses in the A2 district.
On November 16, 1987, the Chanhassen City Council approved a zoning ordinance amendment to
permit golf driving ranges as a conditional use in the A2 zoning district and a conditional use permit for
John Przymus for a golf driving range and miniature golf course at the subject property.

On November 4, 1985, the Chanhassen City Council revoked the conditional use permit for a golf
driving range at the northwest comer of Highway 5 and Galpin Blvd. Due to non-compliance with the
conditions of the conditional use permit.
On December 19, 1983, the Chanhassen City Council approved a conditional use permit for a golf
driving range at the northwest comer of Highway 5 and Galpin Blvd.

From a traffic standpoint, the proposed concept PUD would increase the average daily trips by 162 percent
and the p.m. peak hour traffic by 209 percent.
Fiscal Analysis
Use Tax Capacity Taxes City's Share
Commercial $ 77,250 $ 92,515 $11,657
Town homes $ 45,000 $ 53,892 $11,317
Subtotal PUD $122,250 $146,407 $ 22,974
Twin homes $ 82,500 $ 98,803 $ 20,749
Staff has used the valuation of $200,000 per unit in calculating the residential taxes. Staff assumed $65
per square foot for the commercial building since it would be constructed similar to a warehouse
building. Based on this analysis, the proposed development would increase city tax revenues by $2,225
annually.
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Goals and Policies
"The city's highest land use goal is to achieve a mixture of development which will assure a high quality
of life and a reliable tax base." (2020 Comprehensive Plan p. 11) In doing so, we need to assure that
land is provided for various land uses.
The property is guided in the city's comprehensive plan for Residential - Low Density uses which
permit a net density of 1.2 to 4.0 units per acre. Net density is calculated after subtraction of public
parks, streets, and wetlands. This land use was determined after completion of the Highway 5 Corridor
and Design Study. Staff estimates that the site could support 33 residential units, total. The applicant is
proposing 18 units and 60,000 square feet commercial building. This is a reduction in potential
residential units by 15 units.
"The city encourages low density residential development in appropriate areas of the community in a
manner that reinforces the character and integrity of existing single family neighborhoods while
promoting the establishment of new neighborhoods of similar quality." (2020 Comprehensive Plan p.
12) As part of the Highway 5 Corridor and Design Study, it was concluded that this area would be
appropriate for single family homes.
The property could be developed for twin homes, which would provide for a transition from Highway 5
to the single-family residential to the north and west. Twin homes would be consistent with the housing
Swings Conceptual PUD
September 16, 2003
Page 5
development in the southeast comer of the Vasserman Ridge development, immediately west of the site.
Appropriate zoning for twin home development is Mixed Low Density Residential District, R4, which
would be consistent with the comprehensive plan. The minimum standards for R4 developments require
a minimum lot area of 10,000 square feet per unit, a minimum frontage on a street of 50 feet per unit,
and a minimum lot depth of 125 feet.
The development would be required to maintain a minimum building setback of 30 feet from Galpin
Boulevard, 50 feet from West 78th Street and 70 feet from Highway 5. A minimum 40 foot building
setback is required from the Bluff Creek primary zone and a 50 foot setback is required from wetlands.
This will limit the buildable area on both the northern and southern portions of the site. The northerly
portion of the site is particularly constrained due to setback requirements and may result in the loss of
buildings.
The city will "encourage the development of neighborhood service centers where appropriate. These
will be developed as part of a mixed uses development or a PUD. Development of unplanned or strip
commercial centers shall be discouraged." (2020 Comprehensive Plan p. 12) Neighborhood service
centers are currently provided or proposed at the northeast comers of Highway 5 and Galpin Boulevard
and at Highway 5 and Century Boulevard. Additionally, the proposed development would not perform
as a neighborhood service center, but as a community wide attraction.
The city's highest housing goal is "to provide housing opportunities for all residents consistent with the
identified community development goal." (2020 Comprehensive Plan p. 30) In meeting this goal, the
city shall determine that "plans and ordinances of the City of Chanhassen should ensure that adequate
amounts of land are designed to accommodate projected housing growth." (2020 Comprehensive Plan
p. 30) The proposed development would reduce the potential number of dwelling units in the city.
Additionally, "new residential development shall be discouraged from encroaching upon vital natural
resources or physical features that perform essential protection functions in their natural state." (2020
Comprehensive Plan p. 30) This policy requires that the development scenario proposed for the
property strive to preserve and enhance the Bluff Creek Corridor. The current proposal does not
adequately protect the Bluff Creek Corridor.
CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW
The applicant is proposing a mixed use development consisting of a family activity center and 18 town
house units.
GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE
The development would need to comply with the Design Standards for Commercial, Industrial & Office
Institutional Developments. Additional detail would need to be provided to ascertain the quality of the
proposed development. Planned Unit Developments require that development design standards be
developed for the project. If this process proceeds further, these standards will need to be developed.
Swings Conceptual PUD
September 16, 2003

Staff believes that outdoor commercial uses are incompatible with the residential development existing
and to be developed to the north and west of the site. Additionally, should the project not be successful,
the city would need to address other potential re-uses of the site. Staff recommends that a limited
number of neighborhood support uses be included, such as institutional uses and offices. However, staff
does not support retail type uses.
WETLANDS
There are three wetland areas on the property. All three basins were delineated by Schoell & Madson,
Inc. in 2003. Two of the basins (adjacent to West 78th Street) are a result of the concentration of water
in conjunction with the construction of West 78th Street. These basins are therefore exempt from
wetland mitigation requirements under the incidental wetland provision of the Minnesota Wetland
Conservation Act. A wetland exemption has been issued.
The remaining wetland is an ag/urban wetland adjacent to Bluff Creek. A wetland buffer 0 to 20 feet in
width (with a minimum average width of 10 feet) must be maintained around the wetland basin.
Wetland buffer areas shall be preserved, surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland
ordinance. The applicant must install wetland buffer edge signs, under the direction of City staff, before
construction begins and must pay the City $20 per sign. All structures shall maintain a 40-foot setback
from the edge of the wetland buffer. The grading and erosion control plan should show the actual
wetland buffer widths proposed to meet the minimum average buffer width requirements as well as the
40-foot wetland buffer setback.
BLUFF CREEK NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN
The site is partially within the Uplands Region of the Bluff Creek Overlay District. This region of the
overlay district is characterized by impaired ecosystems and includes the headwaters for Bluff Creek.
The goals set forth in the Bluff Creek Watershed Natural Resources Management Plan (BCWNRMP) for
the Uplands Region are to:
1. Improve and connect the natural systems that currently exist. Preserve high-quality wetland systems,
riparian areas and remaining forests;
2. Regenerate impaired ecosystems, especially wetlands, to the extent practical under the present land
use constraints;
3. Re-create natural links between major natural features within the Bluff Creek corridor and major
natural features outside the Creek's watershed
4. Develop environmental educational opportunities within the corridor.
The applicant should keep these goals in mind as a plan is developed for the site and should work with staff
to achieve these goals for this property.
Swings Conceptual PUD
September 16, 2003

The purpose of the Primary Corridor is to delineate a conservancy zone where undisturbed conditions are
desired, since any type of human activity in this area may directly impact Bluff Creek. The Secondary
Corridor is a management zone where development and/or urban activities directly affect Bluff Creek's
ecosystem.
The mapped boundaries of the primary and secondary corridors of the Bluff Creek Overlay District vary
between those shown in the Plan and those included on City maps. The applicant shall arrange for the
boundaries to be field-verified by staff prior to the development of a more detailed plan for this site. In
determining the boundaries, wetland adjacent to Bluff Creek have, historically, been included within the
primary zone. Accurate location of the corridors is essential for proper planning of the site. There are a
number of items that are directly influenced by the corridor, for instance, minimum structure setbacks of 40
feet from the primary comdor, preservation of all natural features within the primary COlTidor, a detailed
plan identifying the resources located within the corridors, etc.
No development is allowed within the Primary Corridor or within 40 feet of it. In addition, no grading
is allowed within 20 feet of the Primary Corridor. Conditions of any approvals can be expected to
include the restoration of native vegetation within the Overlay District.
Development would require a conditional use permit for development within the Bluff Creek Overlay
District.
BLUFF CREEK
The proposed project is adjacent to Bluff Creek, which is a DNR Protected Water. A 50-foot structure
setback is required. The creek and the required setback should be indicated on the grading plan.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL
Any future development proposal must include a grading, drainage, & erosion control plan for review
and approval.
The applicant must provide storm water calculations for any proposed subdivision. The development
will need to provide storm water ponding on site for treatment prior to discharge in to the wetlands or
creek. The development must meet pre-development runoff rates for the 10-year and 100-year storm.
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
The applicant has not incorporated storm water management into the proposed project. Storm water
quality and quantity control must be provided for the proposed project. Storm water calculations should
be submitted for review. The last storm sewer catch basin prior to discharge into any surface water
feature (e.g., storm water pond) should be a sump catch basin. This will facilitate maintenance of the
surface water features.
Swings Conceptual PUD
September 16, 2003
Page 8
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT FEES
The proposed project is subject to Surface Water Management Fees.
UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer is available to the north and south halves of the site. Watermain is also available to serve
the site from Galpin Blvd. and West 78th St.
A minimum 20-foot wide public drainage and utility easement will be required on all public utilities
outside of the public right-of-way. All buildings must be outside any existing or proposed easements.
STREETS
Access points to West 78th St., a designated collector route, shall be limited to one access on both the
north and south side of the street. The access location must be offset a minimum of 600-feet from
Galpin Blvd. and the north/south access shall be aligned in the same location.
A Mn/DOT and Carver County permit will be required for access to the site.
The proposed access onto Galpin Blvd. will not be allowed in its current location. The access would
need to be offset a minimum of 300-feet fi'om the intersection of W. 78th St. City approval of the access
location would still be contingent upon Mn/DOT and Carver County approval of the proposed access.
OTHER AGENCIES
The applicant must apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies (e.g., Riley-
Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency) and comply with their
conditions of approval.
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
The city does not anticipate the need for land dedication for parks and trail. The applicant would be
required to pay park donation fees pursuant to city ordinance. The applicant should provide sidewalk
connections from the interior of the development to the city's trails on Galpin Boulevard and West 78th
Street.
LANDSCAPING AND TREE PRESERVATION
The development will require a landscaping plan. Of particular importance is the need for buffer yards
from West 78th Street, Galpin Boulevard and Highway 5. Staff recommends that significant landscape
screening and berming be incorporated along Highway 5 as well as West 78th Street. The development
will be required to develop a reforestation plan. The developer will be directed to the Bluff Creek
Watershed Natural Resources Management Plan for a list of appropriate species for planting.
Swings Conceptual PUD
September 16, 2003
Page 9
The developer would need to locate all significant trees on the site and provide a calculation of existing
canopy coverage as well as proposed tree removal. The tree removal will be determined based on the
grading plan. Staff estimates that a minimum 20 percent canopy coverage will be required of the
development.
REZONING
Justification for Rezoning to PUD
The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 14 acres from A-2, Agricultural Estate, to PUD,
Planned Unit Development. There are two components to the PUD: commercial for a family activity
center and town houses. The following review constitutes our evaluation of the PUD request. The
review criteria is taken from the intent section of the PUD Ordinance.
Section 20-501. Intent
Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of most
normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater variety of uses,
internal transfer of density, construction phasing, and a potential for lower development costs. In
exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the City has the expectation that the development plan will result
in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with the
other more standard zoning districts.
It will be the developer's responsibility to demonstrate that the City's expectations are to be realized as
evaluated against the following criteria:
Preservation of desirable site characteristics and open space and protection of sensitive
environmental features, including steep slopes, mature trees, creeks, wetlands, lakes and scenic
views.
Finding. Development must consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed development
is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan designation of the property for low density residential
uses. The proposed development does not conform to all performance standards contained in the
Zoning Ordinance for development of Commercial projects. The development of the site for
residential townhouses does not preserve the bluff area as required by the bluff protection
ordinance, nor adequately preserve the Bluff Creek Corridor.
More efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities through mixing of land
uses and assembly and development of land in larger parcels.
Findinl~. This property is highly visible and in a unique area within the community. It is in an area
of transition from the busy Highway 5 corridor on its south, commercial development to the east
Swings Conceptual PUD
September 16, 2003
Page 10
across Galpin Boulevard, Btuff Creek on its north, and the residential development that expands
from the area to the north and west.
High quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing
and planned. Site planning, landscaping and building architecture should reflect higher quality
design than is found elsewhere in the community.
Finding. The developers are proposing to submit individual building plans. The city will utilize its
normal site plan review procedure for each. The PUD will establish development standards to
ensure that the site is developed in a consistent and well-planned manner so that a higher quality of
development will result.
Sensitive development in transitional areas located between different land uses and along
significant corridors within the city will be encouraged.
Finding. The development is in an area of transition from the busy Highway 5 corridor on its south,
and the residential development that expands from the area to the north and west.
5. Development that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Finding. The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for residential - low density use. The proposed
development is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan.
Parks and open space. The creation of public open space may be required by the city. Such park
and open space shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Park Plan and overall trail plan.
Finding. The proposed development would be required to preserve the Bluff Creek primary
zone.
7. Provision of housing affordable to all income groups if appropriate with the PUD.
Finding. It is not anticipated that this project, as proposed, would develop with affordable
housing.
Energy conservation through the use of more efficient building designs and sitings and the
clustering of buildings and land uses.
Finding. It is not anticipated that energy conservation would be incorporated in the
development.
Use of traffic management and design techniques to reduce the potential for traffic conflicts.
Improvements to area roads and intersections may be required as appropriate.
Swings Conceptual PUD
September 16, 2003
Page 11
Findinz. The use of traffic demand management techniques for the developer and site users will be
a condition of approval.
Summary of Rezoning to PUD
Rezoning the property to PUD provides the applicant with flexibility, but allows the city to request
additional improvements and the site's unique features can be better protected. The flexibility in
standards allows the disturbed areas to be further removed from the unique features of the site. In return
for the flexibility, the city is receiving:
Consistency with Comprehensive Plan;
Corridor sensitivity on Highways 5;
Preservation of desirable site characteristics (wetlands, the Bluff Creek corridor and trees);
Improved architectural standards including, uniform signs and architecture;
Traffic management and design techniques to reduce potential for traffic conflicts;
The existing PUD ordinance does not permit town home projects on property guided Residential - Low
Density. Instead, it permits minimum lot sizes of 11,000 square feet with an average lot area of 15,000
square feet. Lot area is calculated on a net basis. The proposed development is inconsistent with the
comprehensive plan. At this stage of the development review, the applicant does not provide sufficient
detail to determine compliance with commercial standards. If the project were to progress, more
detailed design standards would be created.

with the City's wetland ordinance. The applicant must install wetland buffer edge signs, under the
direction of City staff, before construction begins and must pay the City $20 per sign. All structures
shall maintain a 40-foot setback from the edge of the wetland buffer. The grading and erosion control
plan should show the actual wetland buffer widths proposed to meet the minimum average buffer width
requirements as well as the 40-foot wetland buffer setback.
17. The creek and the required setback should be indicated on the grading plan.
18. The development will require a landscaping plan. Staff recommends that significant landscape
screening and berming be incorporated along Highway 5 as well as West 78th Street.
19. The developer would need to locate all significant trees on the site and provide a calculation of existing
canopy coverage as well as proposed tree removal.
20. Development would require a conditional use permit for development within the Bluff Creek
Overlay District.
21. The applicant shall incorporate stepped back roof lines as presented in the renderings."

FINDINGS OF FACT
AND RECOMMENDATION
IN RE:
Application of John Przymus for a land use amendment for a portion of the site from Residential
- Low Density to Commercial on the 8 acres south of West 78th Street to permit development of a family
activity center and Concept Planned Unit Development (PUD) review for a mixed use development
including a family activity center and town homes
On September 16, 2003, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly schedule
meeting to consider the application of John Przymus for a land use amendment for a portion of the site
from Residential - Low Density to Commercial on the 8 acres south of West 78th Street to permit
development of a family activity center and Concept Planned Unit Development (PUD) review for a mixed
use development including a family activity center and town homes. The Planned Unit Development
would rezone the property from Agricultural Estate District, A2, to PUD south of West 78th Street and
PUD-R north of West 78th Street. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the
proposed Planned Unit Development preceded by published and mailed notice. The Planning
Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak and now makes the following:

and Design Study, which included the West 78m Street roadway alignment, it was
concluded that this site would be appropriate for single family homes. The designation
of the subject property for Residential - Low Density use was nat a mistake, nor have
there been any changes in circumstances which would lead to and the re-guiding of the
property to commercial is appropriate.
It is consistent with the uses along the West 78th Street corridor. Neighborhood
service centers are currently provided or proposed at the northeast comers of Highway 5

SWINGS NARRATIVE
Applicant
Johrl Pryzmus is the owner and applicant. Mr. Pryzmus has owned the land since 1981 and had
previously operated the Swings miniature golf course and driving range. The business had ceased
in 2000 due to the condenmation by the state for the construction of West 78th Street.
Project Description
The project consists of creating a 14-acre Planned Unit Development (PUD) that will include a
family activity center and townhomes. The site was divided by the newly constructed West 78th
Street, thus creating two separate lots. The family activity center will be on the south lot and the
townhomes on the north lot.

Concept Plan Introduction
The proposed plan is harmonious with the surrounding land uses and will meet the criteria of the
related city zoning ordinances. With a family activity center, the site would be utilized similar to
its use for the last 20 years. However, improvements would be made to the site by the addition of
landscaping and a building that meets the architectural standards of the Highway Corridor
Overlay District. This type of commercial use is appropriate for the site due to its location and
the services it will provide to the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The family activity
center will cater to families, young adults, birthday parties and other events. The facility would
compliment the outdoor/indoor activities at the Chanhassan Recreation Center across Highway 5.
The residential component of the plan is also compatible to the surrounding land uses, which
include the Vasserman Ridge development to the west, Bluff Creek to the north and the
surrounding townhome developments to the south and east.
Reguiding Request (South Lot)
The current guiding of low density residential does not seem to be appropriate for the south lot.
The 8-acre site is at the comer of a signalized intersection bounded by high volume roads on all
sides. There is a state highway on the south, County Road 117/Galpin Boulevard (collector) to
the east and West 78th Street (collector) to the north. The land uses adjacent the site are also at a
higher intensity. To the east there is the Kwik Trip gas station and car wash plus another vacant
commercial lot. West of the site is a MNDoT pond with a parcel guided for commercial just to
west of it that is at a similar size as the Pryzmus site. To the south there is medium density
housing and the Bluff Creek Elemantary School and Chanhassan Recreation Center.
We recognize the city's desire to use the site as a transitional area between the highway and the
residential uses that are to the northwest of the site, across West 78th Street. However, in review
of the site, it is apparent that low density residential is not feasible with the surrounding land
uses. This also became evident with Lundgren Brothers refusal to include the Pryzmus site with
their Vasserman Ridge development. In addition to not wanting the site, Lundgren Bros.
constructed a berm as a barrier from Highway 5 for their residents, who are a lot further away
than the residents would be on the Pryzmus site.
The proposed family activity center creates a nice transition/buffer for the residential areas. The
use would provide a low-intensity recreational service to the surrounding neighborhoods. The
activities on the site are all enclosed except for the miniature golf courses, with the potential of
outdoor batting cages and skate park. This will compliment the outdoor activities at the
Recreational Center across Highway 5, which include; 4 softball fields with bleachers, a soccer
field, 4 tennis courts and 2 hockey rinks. The tennis courts, hockey rink and a softball field have
lights. Because the two facilities provide different activities, they are able to meet a wider range
of the community's recreational needs. With the long-standing operation of the previous mini-
golf course and driving range, it is apparent that the community supports this type of use. The
proposed use also falls in line with other uses permitted in the neighborhood and highway
commercial zoning districts. Both districts allow community centers and the Highway Business
District specifically allows miniature golf courses.
Rezoning from Rural Residential to PUD
A PUD is proposed to ensure that an appropriate use is developed that meets the transitional
needs envisioned by the city. Reguiding the site to commercial with a PUD zoning does not tie
the city to the permitted uses, which may not be an appropriate use, or the standards established
within a specific zoning district. The PUD enables the city's policy makers to consider all future
application requests and to establish specific site criteria for any potential future uses. The PUD
request is not used to include uses that are not already allowed in related zoning districts or used
to create a higher density than allowed under the current guide plan. In general, the PUD would
benefit the project by allowing outdoor activities as part of the family activity center and to
incorporate 4-unit townhomes within a low-density district.
As a PUD it is understood that the project will be held up to higher development standards. The
proposed concept plan has incorporated the nine criteria that are encouraged for all PUD
projects. In designing the concept plan attention was focused on creating a development that is
harmonious with the surrounding uses, specifically xvhen transitioning from commercial to
residential and along the environmentally sensitive areas. The proposed plan embraces the
natural amenities and includes large open areas as natural buffers. The plan incorporates a
mixture of uses that provide housing choices and recreational services to the surrounding
neighborhoods and the community.
Wetlands/Bluff Creek
Three wetlands have been identified on the site. The northwest basin is classified as an Ag/Urban
wetland and requires a 40-foot setback and a buffer of 0-20 feet with an average of 10 feet. The
two wetlands located on the western edge of the site on both sides of West 78th Street were
incidentally created with the construction of West 78th Street and are exempt from the State
Wetland Rules. The exemption forms have been submitted to city staff.
The natural significance of the site is limited to the northwest wetland, Bluff Creek and the
mature trees adjacent Bluff Creek along the north property line. The other mature trees on the
site are along Highway 5 and Galpin Boulevard and were used as a buffer for Swings miniature
golf and driving range. In discussion with city staff, the concept plan was designed with the Bluff
Creek primary zone following the edge of the northwest wetland and along the north property
line. With the sanitary easement, there is an 80-foot setback from the north lot line to the
townhomes. This 80 foot green space serves well as the setback for the Bluff Creek primary and
secondary zone.
SPECIFIC CONCEPT PLAN INFORMATION
South Lot (community recreational facility)
The south lot is an 8-acre parcel bounded by Highway 5 to the south, Galpin Boulevard and a gas
station to the east and a MNDoT stormwater pond to the west. The site contains a small
building, parking lot and the golf greens from the previous use. Access is from Galpin
Boulevard, which has been changed to a fight in/right out by the recent road improvements.
The proposed use is a 60,000 square-foot enclosed family activity center catering to families,
young adults, birthday parties and other events. The site will have 2 outdoor miniature golf
courses. The golf courses will be located in the southeast comer of the site, the same area as the
previous course. One golf course would be a mountain course and the second being a traditional
course. Batting cages and a skate park may also be included as part of the outdoor activities.
Inside the facility would be a miniature golf course, golf reality, batting cages, skate park, BMX
bicycling, go-carting, swimming pool, and other activities. The building would be multi-purpose
;vith the potential of moving walls to accommodate group parties and other events.
The site will have access from Galpin Boulevard and from West 78th Street. Parking will be
located in the northeastern portion of the site. The site was designed to have the developed area
pushed to the eastern portion of the lot ;vhere it abuts Highway 5 and Galpin Boulevard. The
commercial use would be consistent with the gas station across Galpin Boulevard and the
commercially guided site just west on Highway 5. The western portion would be left open and
used for stormwater ponding and landscaping. This area would become a transitional buffer
between the recreational facility and the residential development to the northeast. The building
itself would also provide a physical buffer from the outdoor activities and the residential areas.
The building will be designed to meet the architectural standards of the Highway Corridor
Overlay District. A 50-foot buffer yard will be maintained along West 78th street as the land
uses transition from commercial to residential across the street.
Zoning/Parking standards
The project will meet the PUD, Highway Corridor, Buffer Yard and parking standards. In the
effort to preserve as much of the western portion of the site, the outdoor miniature golf greens
are proposed at the same setbacks required for parking. It appears reasonable that the golf greens
are seen as having a similar, if not less, of an impact as a parking lot.
North Lot (Townhomes)
The north lot is a triangular 6-acre parcel that is bounded by West 78th Street to the south, Bluff
Creek to the north and the Vasserman Ridge development to the west. A wetland basin exists in
the northwest comer of the site. With 2 acres of buildable area and the amenities of the wetland
and Bluff Creek the site is well suited for a residential setting. Because of the development
constraints, such as; the configuration of the lot being narrow on the east end; the environmental
setbacks from the wetland and Bluff Creek, the sanitary easement dissecting the north half of the
site and the heavier traffic and commercial uses to the east, it is appropriate to have a mixture of
townhome styles.
The proposed use for the site is a combination of two townhome styles. The east (narrower) side
of the lot is proposed with three, 4-unit townhomes while the western end will consist of twin
homes. The twin homes would be similar in size as the Vasserman Ridge twin homes and would
act as a nice transition between the two sites. Both types of townhomes would have their own
private access off of West 78th Street.
The 4-unit townhomes are proposed in order to provide a reasonable use that is sensitive to the
environmental and lot configuration constraints. These type of units fit nicely with the overall
plan as the site transitions from commercial and heavier traffic from the east and south to the
more residential neighborhoods to the northwest. They would also compliment the townhouse
development across Galpin Boulevard that consists of 4 to 6 unit townhome buildings. Other
conceptual plans had included twin homes within the entire parcel. However, it became
infeasible under the city's R-4 zoning standards.
Zoning Standards
The project will meet the PUD, Highway Corridor, Bluff Creek and Wetland buffer standards.
The proposed density of 18 units (3.3 units per acre) is within the 1.2-4 units an acre density
allowed for Iow-density guided lands.

SUBJECT:
Swings, Mn/DOT Review #S03-044
NW Quad of TH 5 and Galpin Boulevard
Chanhassen, Carver County
Control Section: 1002
Dear Ms. AI-Jaff.'
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has reviewed the above referenced site
plan. Please address the following issues before any further development:
The site plan shows an access onto Gaplin Boulevard that crosses Mn/DOT right of way.
This access is too close to TH 5 for safe signal operation at the intersection. Mn/DOT does
not support an access at this location. The property should have sufficient access at 78®
Street. We strongly encourage the city to require the developer to modify the development
plan and remove the access onto Gaplin Boulevard which is within Mn/DOT's right of way.
· A Mn/DOT Drainage permit will be required. The following additional information must be
submitted:
· Detailed drawing of the development including proposed contours and storm
drainage features.
· Site map showing the existing condition of the site.
· Before/after hydraulic computations for both 10 and 100 year rainfall events.
The proposed development will need to maintain existing drainage rates (i.e., the rate at
which storm water is discharged from the site must not increase). Please direct questions
concerning these issues to Chris Horsemann (65 ! ) 634-2408 of Mn/DOT's Water Resources
section.
As a reminder, please address all initial future correspondence tbr development activity such as
plats and site plans to:
Paul Czech
Mn/DOT - Metro Division

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
An equal opportunity employer
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) 582-
1378.
