The requested addition will be utilized for placement of telecommunications equipment. The city owns the land on which the addition is proposed to take place. The applicant is 1 proposing to lease the site from the city. The addition will house equipment but no employees. The overall site plan is very simple. The building's architectural design consists of concrete block which will match the existing building material. As a part of the lease agreement, staff requested the applicant provide a pitched roof over the existing pump house building as well as ' the proposed addition. This will allow the building to fit better with its surroundings as it is located in a residential area. The landscaping plan must be revised. The Engineering Department is requesting that an access driveway loop be provided around the building. This will result in the elimination of some green space. The remaining area will be seeded. The applicant is proposing five trees along the 1 westerly portion of the site. Staff is recommending ten additional coniferous trees be added. Staff is recommending that the site plan be approved without variances subject to appropriate conditions. ' GENERAL SITE PLAN /ARCHITECTURE The site is located east of Chan View and W. 77th Street, and north of Hwy 101, and has an area ' of 60,000 square feet. The applicant is proposing an addition to an existing pump house building. This addition will house the telecommunications equipment for U.S. West, and will be located west of the pump house. Parking will be located to the east of the building and will ' probably be used once a month for maintenance purposes. The materials to be used on the addition consist mainly of rock face concrete block which will match the existing pump house building. The roof design has been revised since staff first met with the applicant. The current building has a flat roof. Staff requested a pitched roof be added to the addition as well as the existing pump house portion of the building. The applicant submitted two schemes. One scheme showing the building with a flat roof and the second with a pitched roof. Staff is recommending a pitched roof be used to allow the building to blend with the single family residences in the area. 1 PARKING/INTERIOR CIRCULATION /ACCESS The site is proposed to be accessed from the existing driveway to Pump House No. 6 from West 1 77th Street cul -de -sac. To provide better traffic movement throughout the site, the 1 1 1 U.S. West Site Plan May 19, 1993 Page 3 City's Water Superintendent, Mr. Jerry Boucher, recommended that a bituminous turnaround be I installed with the overall site improvements at the applicant's expense (see Attachment #1). Parking of vehicles will probably take place once a month for maintenance purposes. Vehicles can park east of the site. LANDSCAPING 1 The landscaping plan proposes five trees along the west side of the building. The most northerly tree will be impacted by the location of the proposed bituminous turnaround (see Attachment #1). Staff is recommending the tree be moved further west. Staff is also recommending ten additional coniferous trees be added. All disturbed areas on the site shall be reseeded or sodded. Staff is not requesting additional trees on the north, south, and east, because there is an intensive I � g , landscaping project proposed to take place, associated with the realignment of Highway 101 and I the future construction of two tennis courts. Staff is recommending the applicant consult with BRW while preparing their landscaping plan so that planting can be coordinated with the city's landscaping plan. 1 GRADING AND DRAINAGE Only minimal site disturbance is anticipated with the building construction. Site restoration 1 should include sod between the building and the driveway. The remaining disturbed area will be seeded and mulched in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook for I Erosion and Sediment Control. In addition, erosion control fence (Type I) should be installed along the south perimeter (downstream side) of the site improvements. Due to limited site expansion, no additional site drainage improvements will be necessary. UTILITIES 1 Municipal sanitary sewer and water intersects the parcel south of the building. It appears the proposed U.S. West building is requesting municipal sanitary sewer and water service. Individual 1 sewer and water service will have to be extended by the applicant from the existing mains on the property. As a result, the applicant will be responsible for a connection and hookup charge in the amount of $5,850 ($4,100 + $1,750) with the building permit. This fee does not include any I additional SAC fees. PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE 1 On May 19, 1993, the Planning Commission reviewed the application and approved it unanimously. Two issues of concern were addressed at the meeting. The first concerning seeding versus sodding the property. The applicant had proposed to seed all disturbed areas. 1 1 1 U.S. West Site Plan May 19, 1993 Page 4 ' The Planning Commission recommended all disturbed areas be sodded. Condition #1 has been amended to reflect this. The second concern was in regard to completion of improvements that will be started by U.S.West. Condition #6 was added to address this issue. Provisions could be in the form of a 1 Letter of Credit. ' RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council adopt the following motion: "The City Council approves Site Plan Review #93 -3 as shown on the site plan received April 19, 1993, subject to the following conditions: 1 1. Site restoration shall include sodding on all disturbed areas between-the-building-and 1 City's Best Management Practice Handbook. Ten coniferous trees shall be added to the west of the proposed addition. The most northerly proposed tree shall be moved further ' to the west. The applicant shall consult with BRW while preparing their landscaping plan so that planting can be coordinated with the city's landscaping plans. ' 2. Extension of sewer and water service to the proposed building will be the responsibility of the applicant. In addition, the applicant shall pay the appropriate utility hookup and connection fees ($5,850) at the time of issuance of building permit. 3. Erosion control fence (Type I) shall be installed along the south perimeter of the site improvements. 4. The applicant shall install a 12 -foot wide bituminous driveway turnaround per the attached detail in conjunction with the overall site improvements. 5. A itched roof shall be used as shown in Scheme B on the site plan dated April 19, 1993. P P P 6. The City Attorney shall ensure that provisions exist to guarantee that U.S. West will complete improvements on the site. The applicant shall be responsible for all City 1 Attorney fees."

All voted in favor and the motion carried. i Batzli: When does this go to City Council? 1 Aanenson: It will be on June 14th. Based on the conditions. They had wanted to get on the first one in June. The next one in May but based on the conditions, we need additional time. PUBLIC HEARING: U.S. WEST FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR A 16' X 19' ADDITION TO THE EXISTING 1 CITY OF CHANHASSEN PUMP HOUSE NO. 6 ON PROPERTY ZONED PUD, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND LOCATED JUST EAST OF CHAN VIEW AND WEST 77TH STREET AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 101. (Matt Ledvina did not take part in discussion or voting on this issue due to a conflict of interest.) Paul Krauss presented the staff report on this item. Batzli: But the City itself, I mean this is an addition to a city 1 structure but the city won't own it. It will be. Krauss: No, we do own the building. We own the property. It's being leased. Batzli: Okay. Does the applicant wish to address the Commission at all? You're fully invited to if you'd like to do so. (The applicant made a comment from the audience which was not heard on the tape.) ' Batzli: Have you taken a look at our staff report. There's several conditions. Now do these conditions, since we own the building, apply to us or does it apply to U.S. West as the applicant? ' Krauss: Well as I understand it, I believe U.S. West is going to be making the improvements. Hempel: I believe they're making the improvements. (The applicant made another comment which was not heard.) Batzli: We have in, as one of our conditions, a pitched roof shall be used as shown in Scheme B. Applicant: ...the existing building has a flat roof. In Scheme A, they're adding on to the existing building with a flat roof. B and C is adding onto the existing building and putting a pitched roof over the whole thing. 1 Planning Commission Meeting May 19, 1993 - Page 27 1 Batzli: Right, and that's the one we're looking at tonight, is the pitch roof. Okay. Is there any other public comment? Is there a motion to close the public hearing? Scott moved, Mancino seconded to close the public hearing. All voted in II favor and the motion carried. The public hearing was closed. Mancino: I agree 100% with the staff recommendations. 1 Scott: Let's see, has the annual lease payment amount been determined? Krauss: I don't believe it has. That's why it was left blank. , Applicant: We haven't determined the lease payment yet and we've been discussing... 1 Scott: Okay. No further comments. Batzli: So the lease was drawn up by our attorneys? ' Applicant: No. The least is a lease from U.S. West given to the City 11 Attorney for review... Batzli: Okay. Ladd. Conrad: Nothing. Batzli: My only question is, if they're doing improvements on a building owned by us, and somehow they default half way through. Not that U.S. We is going to but let's hypothetically say that they lose interest in the project and we have a half finished building. Then what do we do? Krauss: That's a question for our attorney to answer in the contractual arrangements we have with them. Probably require some posting of letter of credits to insure completion. Batzli: Yeah, see I would assume that since they're altering a building owned by the City, that something would be in there that guarantees that they finish it, one way or another. And I don't know how we do that but i' would seem to me that that would be a prudent thing to say somewhere in one of the conditions that either, I don't know if they post a bond or what they do. ' Applicant: One of the things we're doing is, the technology is changing so much right now...going from copper feeders to fiberoptics and what that's II going to do basically in servicing the Chanhassen area, is going to... Krauss: I'm certain we can have your concern addressed. Batzli: Yeah. The sodding is between the building and the driveway? Hempel: That's correct. 1 i 1 Planning Commission Meeting 11 May 19, 1993 - Page 28 ' Batzli: But you're going to bring in a cable into the building. Is that going to be a regular trencher that's bringing that in with or is it going to be one where. ' Applicant: It will be conduit in the ground. It will be down 15 inches into the ground. It will be a 4 inch conduit. ' Batzli: Are you going to be laying it, slit laying it or is there where you dig it up and you lay it in and then you backfill over it? Applicant: I'm not certain but normally when we put conduit down, we have to dig...but I'm not a cable expert. Normally if you bury...Is your concern? ' Batzli: Just the resodding of that area rather than reseeding. Krauss: Yeah, you should include restoration of any disturbed area. ' Batzli: But the condition here that it's just reseeded rather than sodded. And if they're going to be digging up a yard wide trench, I'd rather see them resod it. Those were the two items I had. Does someone have a motion, unless there's other discussion? Scott: I move that the Planning Commission approve Site Plan Review #93 -3 ' as shown on the site plan received April 19, 1993 subject to the existing conditions numbered 1 thru 5. Batzli: Is there a second? Mancino: Second. Batzli: Okay. Any discussion? Conrad: Were your comments incorporated in Joe's motion? ' Batzli: No, they really weren't. I think if you added after the word, Best Management Practice Handbook, kind of a comma. Except that any trenching performed shall be resodded. That would take care of one of them. Krauss: I had written in for myself, if I could suggest a condition 6. That the City Attorney insure that provisions exist to guarantee U.S. West will complete the improvements. Batzli: Okay. That takes care of my other one. Scott: I agree. ' Batzli: Who seconded the motion? Mancino: I did. I second that. 1 1 1 Planning Commission Meeting May 19, 1993 - Page 29 Scott moved, Mancino seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Site Plan Review #93 -3 as shown on the site plan received Apra. 19, 1993, subject to the following conditions: 1. Site restoration shall include sodding between the building and driveway and one roll of sod adjacent to the outside edge of the new II driveway surface. The remaining disturbed areas may be reseeded and mulched in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook, except for any trenching performed shall be sodded. Ten coniferous trees shall be added to the west of the proposed addition. The most northerly proposed tree shall be moved further to the west. The applicant shall consult with BRW while preparing their landscpainil plan so that planting can be coordinated with the city's landscaping plans. 2. Extension of sewer and water service to the proposed building will be 1 the responsibility of the applicant. In addition, the applicant shall pay the appropriate utility hook - up and connection fees ($5,850.00) all the time of issuance of building permit. 3. Erosion control fence (Type I) shall be installed along the south perimeter of the site improvements. 1 4. The applicant shall install a 12 foot wide bituminous driveway turn around per the attached detail in conjunction with the overall site 1 improvements. 5. A pitched roof shall be used as shown in Scheme B on the site plan dated April 19, 1993. 6_ That the City Attorney insure provisions exist to guarantee that U_5. West will complete the improvements. 1 All voted in favor, except for Matt Ledvina who did not vote, and the motion carried. 1 Batzli: And this goes to City Council when? Krauss: The same date. 14th of June. 1 Batzli: Very good. Thank you for coming in. 1 1 1 1 1 \ 1 PROPERTY LINE (TN \ • UGE - ,SIE N PUMP H USE \ \ 1 EXIST.

We are submitting along with the site plan, two architectural elevation schemes, Scheme A and Scheme B, for the City's review. Scheme A shows the addition with a flat roof to match the existing ' structure and Scheme 13 as requested by the City, shows the addition and the existing structure covered with a shingled gable roof. ' The purpose of the building is to house electronic telecommunications equipment to serve the downtown Chanhassen area with voice and data services both now and into the future. The proposed addition will have its own electrical service and meter. The addition will have electric ' heat and an air conditioner unit. No roof mounted equipment, sewer and water will be required. The proposed ten feet utility easement from the proposed addition to Highway 101 shall be used for telephone conduit and cable. ' It is anticipated that once the facility is in operation, the building will be unmanned with the Y p g exception of bi- monthly maintenance and repair requirements to the electronic 1 telecommunications equipment.
