The site Fax: 952.227.1404 is located north of Lyman Boulevard, west of Highway 101, east of Crossroads Boulevard and southeast of Highway 212. Access to the site will be gained off of Planning & Crossroads Boulevard. The site is zoned Planned Unit Development -Mixed Use. Natural Resources Phone: 952.227.1130 Fax: 952.227.1110 PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY Public Works The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 5, 2013 to review the 7901 Park Place proposed development. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend Phone: 952.227.1300 approval of the project. The March 5, 2013 Planning Commission minutes are Item 1 a Fax: 952.227.1310 of the City Council packet. Center C Senior ent Phone: or ter A number of concerns were raised by neighbors who attended the Planning Commission Fax: 952.227.1110 meeting or through emails. Some of these concerns were as follows: Web site Concern: The 101 improvements to the south will bring more traffic to the area than www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us there is now. o Chanhassen is a Community for Life - Providing for Today and Planning for Tomorrow Todd Gerhardt Crossroads of Chanhassen Building 4B — Planning Case 2013 -06 March 25, 2013 Page 2 Response: MnDOT and Carver County both agreed with the scope of the traffic study (including projected volumes). The traffic study shows that Kwik Trip currently generates 3,060 average trips per day, the daycare generates 890 average trips per day, and the fast food restaurant is projected to generate an average of 1,510 trips per day. Concern: The existing intersection of Crossroads Boulevard at the daycare entrance currently backs up. The drive -thru would make it worse. Response: This was discussed during pre - submittal and the current width/striping on Crossroads Boulevard was deemed acceptable. Concern: The Reflections development has increased traffic on Lyman Boulevard. It's already difficult to make a left turn out of Summerfield, and the sight lines are poor. The drive -thru will make it worse. Response: A delay at an intersection does not necessarily mean that the road design is deficient. Staff will examine the intersection to explore solutions to improve sight lines. Concern: The speed limit changes from 50 mph west of Highway 101 to 35 mph east of Highway 101. How will we keep traffic from speeding? Response: Orange reflectors were added to the existing 35 mph speed limit sign to increase visibility. A sign will be installed east of the intersection telling drivers that the speed limit ahead is 35 mph. The sheriff's office has patrolled the area in the past and will periodically do so. Concern: Views of the drive - thru from the Springfield neighborhood. Response: Staff directed the applicant to prepare a sight line drawing showing the views from the neighborhood to the drive -thru area. The distance between the drive -thru and the homes is between 890 and 900 feet which can be equated to three football fields. The drive -thru will be screened by vegetation and a 4- foot berm.

PROPOSED MOTION: "The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends the City Council approve a Planned Unit Development Amendment to the existing standards; a Site Plan Amendment for construction of a one -story multi -tenant building; and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Recommendation." CITY OF CHANHASSEN SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a Planned Unit Development Amendment to existing standards, and Site Plan Amendment approval for the construction of a one -story multi -tenant building with a drive -thru serving a fast food restaurant. Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within the required 500 feet. Staff is recommending approval of the request with conditions. LOCATION: Northwest of the intersection of Lyman Boulevard and Highway 101 (Lot 2, Block 1, Crossroads of Chanhassen) APPLICANT: Kraus- Anderson, Inc. 4210 West Old Shakopee Road Bloomington, MN 55437 Mr. Jack Appert Phone: (952) 948 -9367 jappertkkarealtcom PRESENT ZONING: Planned Unit Development, Mixed Use — PUD, Mixed Use 2030 LAND USE PLAN: Mixed Use ACREAGE: 4.39 Acres DENSITY: N/A LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION - MAKING: The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving amendments to PUDs because the City is acting in its legislative or policy - making capacity. A PUD amendment must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City's discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the proposed project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements. If it meets these standards, the City must then approve the site plan. This is a quasi-judicial decision. Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 2 of 28 PROPOSAL /SUMMARY The request consists of two applications to facilitate the construction of a multi - tenant building with a drive -thru serving a fast food restaurant. The request includes a Planned Unit Development Amendment to existing standards and Site Plan Approval for a multi -tenant building with a drive -thru. The site is located northwest of the intersection of Lyman Boulevard and Highway 101 and southwest of Crossroads Boulevard. Access to the site will be gained off of Crossroads Boulevard. The site is zoned Planned Unit Development -Mixed Use. 1 _ / � \ o SUBJECT L, , PROPERTY - _7 The following is a summary of the requests: 1. Planned Unit Development Amendment: The first request is to amend the section prohibiting drive -thru windows for fast food restaurants. Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 3 of 28 2. Site Plan: The site plan request is for the construction of a 13,871 square -foot multi -tenant building with a drive -thru. Site coverage is averaged over the entire development. This is permitted under the PUD ordinance (Section 20 -505 (e)). The total permitted site coverage is 70 percent. The proposed development has a total hard coverage area of 48.1 %. The design of the building is attractive and is proposed to be constructed of high - quality materials which include brick and block. All elevations that can be viewed by the public have received equal attention. Parking is buffered from views by buildings and landscaping. Sidewalks and trails allow for connections between the subject site and the surrounding buildings and separates pedestrian from vehicular traffic. Access to the site is provided via an internal street (Crossroads Boulevard). There will not be direct access to Highway 212, Highway 101 or Lyman Boulevard. 4A 4E �o-1i--D� - 4 _ III D 4B 4F Q:ir.� ', . 'ik9 4C t C.S.A.H. NC. 18 (L. MAN 901 LEVARU) Staff regards the project as a well- designed development. The overall design is sensitive to the surrounding area. Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending approval of the site plan and planned unit development amendment with conditions as outlined in the staff report. Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 4 of 28 APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Chapter 20, Article Il, Division 2, Amendments Chapter 20, Article 11, Division 6, Site Plan Review Chapter 20, Article VII, Planned Unit Development District Chapter 20, Article XXIII, Division 7, Design Standards for Commercial, Industrial, and Office- Institutional Developments BACKGROUND The Land Use Plan designates areas around the TH 101/TH 212 interchange as mixed use. This category has been established to accommodate either commercial or high - density residential developments. The high- density category, which includes units with a maximum net density of 16.0 units per acre, accommodates apartments and higher density condominium units, but would also permit the development of townhome -type units. The commercial use is intended to support or complement high - density residential development. Commercial uses may include convenience grocery stores, daycare facilities, etc., or those uses that meet the daily needs of the residents. The underlying commercial district permits fast food restaurants with no drive - thru as part of a shopping center. The Planned Unit Development governing this development allows drive -thru for tenants whose primary use is the sale of coffee. Staff supports amending this section to incorporate fast food restaurants that are attached to a shopping center. This will be consistent with the neighborhood commercial type of use as it is located in a screened area and away from any residential area. Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 5 of 28 Concept Plan On January 4, 2005, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved the Concept PUD for the site (not to be confused with site plan approval). This plan was later approved by City Council on January 24, 2005. This final concept layout reflected a residential component within the areas located north and south of Lake Susan Drive with the highest density concentration facing Highway 101. q 7' ■ a `M y ttttttJ � ,�� Highway Plans w /Site Layout — ' North Site Location Realigned Highway 101 New Highway 212 Proposed Lighted Intersection Future Southwest rietro Transit Station South Site Location Lyman Boulevard & Highway 101 Interchange I The portion of the site located south of Highway 212 consisted of a mix of commercial and residential uses. In that instance, the residential part encompassed the western portion of the site while the commercial part occupied the remainder of the site, and faced Highways 101, 212, and Lyman Boulevard. South Site A * t a: 'A *'k% to �t Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 6 of 28 Development Plan On June 27, 2005, the City Council approved rezoning the property from Residential Single Family to Planned Unit Development -Mixed Use and adopted the Planned Unit Development ordinance that regulated and set standards for the development of this site including permitted uses, landscaping, setbacks, signage, building materials, architectural standards, parking, etc. On February 27, 2006, the Chanhassen City Council approved a site plan for the construction of a three -story multi - family building containing 48 units, and located northwest of the intersection of Highways 312/101 (north site). On January 24, 2008, the City requested the vacation of right -of -way along Old Trunk Highway 101. A portion of the old highway occupies the westerly portion of the site. Development of the westerly portion of the site is contingent upon Minnesota Department of Transportation vacating the right -of -way. Amended Development Plan On March 10, 2008, the Chanhassen City Council approved the following: • Planned Unit Development amendment clarifying setbacks, signage, and retail building size • Variance request to allow a 20 -foot setback from Lyman Boulevard and a 20 -foot setback from Highway 101 • Preliminary plat for Planning Case 2008 -01 for Crossroads of Chanhassen • Seven site plans consisting of a 5,300 square -foot convenience store with gas pumps and a 2,805 square -foot car wash (Buildings 4A), a multi -tenant building with an area of 11,000 square feet (Building 4B), a two -story multi -tenant building with a first floor area of 13,800 square feet and second floor area of 15,000 square feet (Building 4C), a one -story retail building with an area of 8,000 square feet (Building 4D), a 5,000 square -foot bank with drive -thru window (Building 4E), a 3,400 square -foot retail building (Building 4F), and a 10,000 square -foot Deli and Liquor Store (Building 4G). Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 7 of 28 On April 28, 2008, the City Council approved a final plat to subdivide 14.9 acres into three lots and one outlot — Crossroads of Chanhassen. On July 14, 2008, the Chanhassen City Council granted final plat approval for Crossroads of Chanhassen 2 " Addition creating two lots and one Outlot for the area of the development that is being reviewed as part of the development proposal for the daycare. That plat was never recorded. As part of the submittal, staff directed the applicant to conduct a traffic study to evaluate the trip generation and circulation of the site along with the impact to the intersection of Lyman Boulevard and Highway 101. A traffic study was performed by the applicant's engineer and reviewed by the City's traffic consultant. Internally the site has acceptable circulation. The only external site issue that was discovered is at the intersection of Lyman Boulevard and Crossroads Boulevard. Access spacing guidelines for Carver County do not allow a signal at this intersection. The possibility exists that the County could someday switch the access to Crossroads Boulevard to a right - in/right -out or block some of the turning movements. On March 26, 2012, the Chanhassen City Council approved a Planned Unit Development Amendment to the existing standards; Preliminary and Final Plat to subdivide 6.15 acres into one lot and one outlot (Crossroads of Chanhassen 2nd Addition); and Site Plan Approval for construction of a daycare facility (Primrose of Chanhassen). This request combined Buildings 4F and 4G into a single building. Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 8 of 28 SITE PLAN In order to provide a better understanding of the overall development, staff will first review the site plan component, which in turn leads to the PUD amendment. The building must comply with the Development Design Standards for Chanhassen Gateway. A PUD is required to be developed to a higher quality than other projects. Site coverage is averaged over the entire development. This is permitted under the PUD ordinance (Section 20 -505 (e)). The total permitted site coverage is 70 percent. The proposed development has a total hard coverage area of 48.1 %. The design of the building is attractive and is proposed to be constructed of high - quality materials. They include brick, rough -face block, awnings, and glass. All elevations that can be viewed by the public have received equal attention. Parking is proposed along the west portion of the site. It is buffered from views by a building and landscaping. Sidewalks and trails allow for connections between the building and surrounding area, which separate pedestrians from vehicular traffic. The applicant has done a commendable job on the sidewalks and pedestrian connections on this site. The trash enclosure for the building is located at the northeast corner of Lot 1, Block 1. The enclosure is proposed to be built of materials that match the building. The added landscaping and boulevard trees will provide a calming affect to a busy area. The site plan request is for a 13,871 square -foot multi -tenant building. The original site plan for Building 4B showed a 11,000 square -foot building. The applicant is proposing to adjust the square footage of all the buildings to stay consistent with the approved plans. These adjustments will result in minor changes to the overall design of the building. Staff intends to process these changes administratively since they are all a reduction in size. The following table reflects the approved and proposed adjusted building square footage.

The building has pronounced entrances, utilizes durable exterior materials, and exhibits articulation. Signs are proposed along the north, south, east and west elevations of the building. The ordinance regulating this development limits signage to two elevations per building. The signage along the north and south elevations must be eliminated. The size of the individual letters may not exceed 30 inches and the sign must comply with ordinance. Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 9 of 28 All buildings within the development of Crossroads of Chanhassen must maintain a 20 -foot setback from the right -of -way. To continue the vernacular perspective, the applicant will maintain this setback. View from the west portion of the site LIGHTING /SIGNAGE IL..IM��11."�,. � q The applicant prepared a lighting plan. The applicant included photometrics. Light levels for site lighting shall be no more than one -half foot candle at the project perimeter property line. This does not apply to street lighting.

Staff is recommending that the lights be consistent View from northeast corner of the site View from the southeast corner of the site Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 10 of 28 with the approved fixtures in the development. Parking lot light fixtures may be 25 feet tall. All fixtures must be shielded. All the buildings in the development are permitted signs on two elevations only. The proposed signs on the north and south building elevations must be removed in order for signage to remain consistent with the Planned Unit Development design standards. Only individual letters are permitted. The size of individual letters may not exceed 30 inches. i 'rENAYr 7ENANr _ l iii wi nip � � z i ® ■ � � iii PARKING The ordinance requires one parking space per 200 square feet for the shopping center and one parking space per 250 square feet for the bank. The development uses shared parking. The development must provide 270 parking spaces. The applicant is showing 270 spaces. Cross Parking Agreements must be recorded against the property. Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 11 of 28 ARCHITECTURAL COMPLIANCE Size, Portion and Placement Entries: The building has pronounced entrances. Articulation: The building incorporates adequate detail and has been tastefully designed. The architectural style is unique to the building but will fit in with the surrounding area. The building will provide a variation in style through the use of brick and glass. The building utilizes exterior materials that are durable and of high quality. The amended design will utilize a white brick that will match the color of stucco used on the building, as well as the approved materials for the development. Signs: All signage must meet the sign criteria in the Planned Unit Development Design Standards for Chanhassen Gateway. Material and Detail High quality materials are being used on the building. Color The colors chosen for the building are earth tones. The selection is unique, but blends in with the surrounding buildings. Height and Roof Design The maximum building height in this Planned Unit Development varies based on the use. All buildings meet the minimum set in the ordinance. The roofline is staggered, adding articulation to the design of the buildings. All rooftop equipment must be screened from views. Facade Transparency All facades viewed by the public contain more than 50 percent windows and/or doors. Loading Areas, Refuse Areas, etc. The trash enclosure is located along the northeast corner of Lot 2, Block 1. The exterior material must be of the same exterior material as the building. Recycling space and other solid waste collection space should be contained within the same enclosure. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the City shall consider the development's compliance with the following: Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 12 of 28 (1) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides, including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may be adopted; (2) Consistency with this division; (3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing areas; (4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the development; (5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special attention to the following: a. An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general community; b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; c. Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and neighboring structures and uses; and d. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking. (6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. Findin : The proposed development is consistent with the City's design requirements, the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, the design standards, and the site plan review requirements with the exception of the area of the building which will require a PUD amendment. Staff is recommending approval of the request with conditions. The site design is compatible with the surrounding developments. It is functional and harmonious with the approved development for this area. Staff regards the project as a reasonable use of the land. The overall design is sensitive to the City's image. Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending approval of the site plan with conditions outlined in the staff report. Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 13 of 28 PUD AMENDMENT Allow fast food restaurants with a drive -thru: The language in the PUD currently permits small to medium -sized restaurant not -to- exceed 8,000 square feet per building. Drive -thru windows are prohibited except drive -thru windows are allowed for tenants whose primary use is the sale of coffee. The drive -thru lane is required to be screened and the exterior wall of the drive -thru must contain the same level of architectural detail as any other elevation visible by the public. Staff has been working with the applicant and has had numerous discussions to prepare a plan that is still consistent with the intent of the ordinance. Initially, the applicant proposed replacing the bank (Building 4E) with a stand -alone fast food restaurant with a drive -thru. Staff was strongly opposed to this request. Staff required the applicant to locate the drive -thru aisle and window to the far north of the building and screen the drive aisle. This is the most suitable location for the use on this site. Staff is proposing to limit the drive -thru for restaurants to Building 4B only. Should the City approve this amendment, staff recommends changing the language under permitted uses to read "Small to medium -sized restaurant not -to- exceed 8,000 square feet per building. Fast food restaurants with a drive -thru are limited along the north end of Building 4B. It must be part of and attached to the multi -use building. ( a,.:.,° th eeffee The drive -thru lane shall be screened and the exterior wall of the drive -thru shall contain the same level of architectural detail as any other elevation visible by the public." NOTE: The designation of Highway 312 has been changed to Highway 212. The ordinance governing this development has been modified accordingly. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT FINDINGS The Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider six (6) possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment. The six (6) effects and our findings regarding them are: a) The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan. Finding The site is guided mixed use (residential and neighborhood commercial). A drive - thru window for a restaurant will add a convenient purchasing method. It will be screened from views. b) The proposed use is or will be compatible with the present and future land uses of the area. Finding: The proposed use is and will be compatible with the present and future land uses of the area through the implementation of the design standards, landscaping, architecture, etc. Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 14 of 28 c) The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance. Finding The proposed use will conform with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance such as design standards, signage, durable materials, uses, etc. d) The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. Finding The proposed use is intended to meet the daily needs of the area. It could potentially add convenience to the homeowners in the area. e) The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the city's service capacity. Finding The site is located within the Municipal Urban Service Area. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the city's service capacity. f) Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property. Finding Based upon traffic studies conducted by the applicant's traffic engineer, traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property. MISCELLANEOUS The developer proposes to construct Building 4B in the southeast corner of the site. The phase line must be shown on all plans. Access to the building will extend from the existing two curb cuts on the southern end of Crossroads Boulevard. The applicant must work with the City to provide assurances that the edge of pavement and drainage patterns can be adequately maintained given the proposed phase line. A stop sign must be installed at the end of the drive -thru. Based on the site configuration, the applicant may want to install this stop sign on the corner of the building. The applicant has designated two "Parking" stalls for drive -thru customers waiting for their order. Site detail "21" in front of the retail building must be included in the site notes. Encroachment agreements are needed for any structure located in the drainage and utility easements. This includes but is not limited to the entrance monument, light poles, and fence located in drainage and utility easements. 4 Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 15 of 28 Upon completion, the applicant shall submit a set of "as- built' plans signed by a professional civil engineer. All of the maintenance for landscaping and irrigation within the right -of -way must be maintained by the developer. TRAFFIC The applicant has provided an updated traffic study since some of the uses within the development have changed subsequent to the preliminary plat approval. The updated study indicates that the average weekday trips increase by 16.4 %, the AM Peak Hour trips increase by 78.5% and the PM Peak Hour trips increase by 15.1 %. The increase in the AM Peak Hour is due to the existing daycare facility and the proposed drive -thru. The traffic study was sent to Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and Carver County for review due to the site proximity to Highway 212 and CSAH 18 (Lyman Boulevard), respectively. MnDOT requires that the traffic study must be updated to include an analysis of traffic volumes to the year 2023. Additional comments and /or conditions of approval may result from the updated traffic volumes. Final comments from Carver County have not been submitted at this time. The findings from a traffic study are generally used to evaluate the capacity of the adjacent roads and to evaluate delays to traffic flow (called Level of Service). In general, the existing capacity of the adjacent roads is sufficient. The study indicates that the Level of Service at the intersection of the Highway 212 Ramp /County Road 101 /Crossroads Boulevard will operate at an unacceptable Level of Service based on the 2018 full buildout conditions; however, this can be remedied by optimizing the signal timing. GRADING AND DRAINAGE The site drains to the existing MnDOT stormwater pond north of the daycare. The total impervious surface of the site has increased since the preliminary design and may be subject to additional requirements by MnDOT. The applicant must obtain a MnDOT drainage permit. The majority of Lot 2, Block 1 will drain to a low point in the middle of the parking area. The area on the north side including the drive -thru will drain to the existing storm sewer along the north lot line. Spot elevations must be shown on the grading plan to confirm that the site meets the following minimum grade requirements: 0.5% along curb lines, 1% on pavement, and 2% on turf. Emergency overflow locations and elevations must be shown on the plans. The finished floor elevation of each building must be minimum one foot above the emergency overflow. Crossroads PUD Amendment and SPR Planning Case 2013 -06 March 5, 2013 Page 16 of 28 UTILITIES The proposed sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer shall be privately owned and maintained. All utilities must be installed and tested in accordance with City standards. The rim and invert elevations of manholes must be shown on the utility plan. Provide a detail of each utility crossing to ensure that there are no conflicts. The applicant has submitted storm sewer design calculations. The storm sewer design must be modified to provide sufficient inlet capacity for drainage area 20. Add the storm sewer schedule to the utility plan. The power to the Crossroads Boulevard irrigation system must be removed from the City supply and connected to the development's system. Identify the utility line between the entry monument at Lyman Boulevard and the southern retail building. This utility shall be relocated within the right -of -way and/or drainage and utility easements. The plan set must include a detail sheet. City of Chanhassen Detail Plate 5215, Pedestrian Ramps, must be included on the detail sheet. LANDSCAPING Minimum requirements for landscaping on Lot 2, Block 1 include 7,915 square feet of landscaped area around the parking lot, 16 landscape islands or peninsulas, 31 trees for the parking lot, and bufferyard plantings along the property lines. The applicant's proposed as compared to the requirements for landscape area and parking lot trees is shown in the following table: The applicant meets minimum requirements for trees and landscaping in the parking lot area. Buffervard requirements: Required Proposed Vehicular use landscape area 7,915 square feet 10,000 square feet Trees/ parking lot 31 trees 38 trees Islands or peninsulas/ parking lot 16 islands/ peninsulas 17 islands/ peninsulas The applicant meets minimum requirements for trees and landscaping in the parking lot area.

This proposal is generally consistent with the 2008 approved PUD — in terms of commercial use, building square footage, parking requirements, etc. — however, we are requesting that the City amend the PUD to allow for a quick service food drive -thru. The originally approved Crossroads of Chanhassen did not progress in the last 5 years, due mainly to market forces and the poor economy. Present day, with the economy on an upswing, we have the opportunity to proceed with the development. Crossroads of Chanhassen currently consists of a Kwik Trip Convenience Store and Primrose Daycare, both of which have experienced success beyond what was expected. With the approval of the City, we plan to begin the next phase of development —which includes a retail strip building with signed leases from Vintage Liquor, Subway, Chic Salon, & McDonald's. All of these tenants are extremely excited to serve the City of Chanhassen, and expect to experience the same levels of success as Kwik Trip and Primrose. The architecture features the same level of details as the original proposal — with a varying skyline, tower elements at corners with upper windows and cornices, and a warm mix of natural brick tones that complement the established material pallet of the existing buildings. The proposed site plan features pedestrian friendly amenities such as outdoor seating areas, sidewalk connections to the public trail system, and bike racks. In addition, this project includes a high - quality planting plan with a variety of overstory trees, ornamental trees, and foundation plantings that will complement the site and buildings very well. The proposed project will be constructed in at least two phases. The next phase will be comprised of a 13,000 + /- SF retail strip building, parking required to accommodate the building, and the infrastructure for all of Lot 2, Block 1. Construction of this phase is slated to begin May 1, 2013, with store openings scheduled for October 1, 2013. Future phases will include a 2- story retail /office building as well as a smaller retail strip building, both on Lot 2, Block 1, and another smaller commercial building on Lot 3. With this submittal, we request to be in front of the Planning Commission on February 19, 2013. We will be having a neighborhood meeting to ensure the citizens of this area are informed within the next few weeks. In order to stay on this tight schedule, it is very important that this proposal be approved without delay. Thank you very much for your consideration of this proposal and we look forward to hearing any questions or comments you may have.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has reviewed the site plans and has the following comments: Water Resources: A drainage permit is required with final drainage plans that include construction modifications associated with latest MnDOT comments and current on -site construction. Please include existing and proposed drainage area maps with computations where drainage areas are clearly delineated and labeled corresponding to the model results. Design storms of 10 and 100 year duration with pond freeboard of 1 foot for ponds along MnDOT right of way. Drainage rates must not increase to MnDOT right of way and drainage patterns must be perpetuated. Please direct questions regarding these issues to Martin Kors (651- 234 -7537 or martin.korskstate.mn.us) Traffic: The report did not look at any future forecast for the area; it only looked at the 2018 full build. MnDOT typically uses a 20 year forecast. The added traffic from the 2018 full build option has a negative effect on the TH 212 South Ramp intersection operation. The development is adding an additional 30 vehicles for the westbound through movement, and roughly 100 vehicles to the eastbound left movement. Looking at the SimTraffic output in the appendix, it shows the 95% queue for the westbound through/right has increased from 434' in the existing AM option to 650' in the 2018 full build optimized AM option. The development is attracting more westbound through traffic which is blocking the heavy westbound right (475 vph), not allowing them to move in a permissive manner. This could create an unsafe condition on the eastbound exit loop, especially as traffic volumes continue to grow into the future. The ramp would operate better with the exclusive westbound right turn lane, thereby allowing right turning vehicles to move permissively without creating a large queue. Without the exclusive right turn lane, the exit loop could experience a 600' queue and create a safety concern for the high speed exit. An access across from a ramp terminal is atypical and should connect to a minor arterial or supporting road network; the Crossroads Blvd access does not meet these criteria. Signalized intersections are required to have three lanes of approach (left, thru, and right turn lanes). In order to prevent vehicles queuing down the ramp and turning traffic from interfering with other traffic, the signal and east leg of the south ramp terminal need to be modified to provide three lanes of approach. Please direct any questions regarding these comments to David Sheen, South Area Traffic and Tort Claims (651- 234 -7824 or david.sheengstate.mn.us Design/Right - -of -Way: The project identification sign and associated landscaping are not allowed on MnDOT right -of -way. The proposed project will require a MnDOT Layout due to the required changes to the US 212 ramp. MnDOT recommends that the design work be completed by a consultant that is experienced working with MnDOT standards and has performed Trunk Highway design. The following web sites provide layout design guidance and identify layout requirements: • http : / /www.dot.state.mn.us /design /geometric /index.html • On the right side of the above page under "Quick Links ", the third bullet (HPDP Geometric Design Resources) directs you to the following page: http: / /dotapp7. dot. state.mn.us /edms /download ?docld = 636152 For questions concerning the layout process and timing, please contact Nancy Jacobson, MnDOT Metro Design Section at nancy.l jacobson(cr�,state.mn.us or 651- 234 -7647. Permits: A permit is required for the new pedestrian connections. The maintenance responsibility for these new connections will need to be defined. A drainage permit will be required. The drainage permit application form can be found at http: / /www. dot. state .mn.us /utility /forms /index.html Any work at the intersections of TH 101 and Crossroads Blvd will require a permit. Please direct any questions regarding . permit requirements to Buck Craig, MnDOT's Metro Permits Section, at 651- 234 -7911 or buck.craignstate.mn.us I I Review Submittal Options: MnDOT's goal is to complete the review of plans within 30 days. Submittals sent in electronically can usually be turned around faster. There are four submittal options. Please submit either: 1. One (1) electronic pdf. version of the plans. MnDOT can accept the plans via e -mail at metrodevreviews.dot cgstate.mn.us provided that each separate e- mail is under 20 megabytes. 2. Three (3) sets of full size plans.

In this letter we stated that "In order to prevent vehicles queuing down the ramp and turning traffic from interfering with other traffic, the signal and east leg of the south ramp terminal (will) need to be modified to provide three lanes of approach." While MnDOT finds these needs important for the successful operation of the intersection, the proposed ramp improvements are suggestions and not requirements. Also, to ensure the safety and operations of the intersection, the traffic impact study should include an operations analysis for forecast volumes projected out 20 years. All other elements of the February 8 th review letter remain valid. Thank you for the opportunity to review the Crossroads of Chanhassen Planned Unit Development Site Plan.

A couple of us from the association board will be meeting with Jack Appert in the next day or two. It would be great to have a copy of the landscape plans that were done a few years ago as one of the agenda items for our meeting is adding landscape screening. We plan to talk about the intersection as a whole and how to help it evolve into the "gateway" concept. I'm sure it is beyond what KA wants to take on, but maybe if their corner and our corner start it off, other development projects will follow suit. A long shot, but we'll give it a try. If nothing else, we need to work on getting some additional screening for the homes that back -up to the intersection/development. If you have a minute and can email the design plan, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks again, Tim Vicchiollo AI -Jaff, Sharmeen From: Tim Vicchiollo [tvicchiollo @gmail.com] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2013 8:27 AM To: AI -Jaff, Sharmeen Subject: Crossroads / Lyman Blvd / Hwy 101 development plans Sharmeen: My name is Tim Vicchiollo and I am resident of the Springfield neighborhood at Hwy 101 x Lyman Blvd, near the Crossroads development. I also serve on the Springfield HOA board of directors. I attended the informational meeting Wednesday evening hosted by Kraus- Anderson pertaining to the Crossroads development project and I am very please to see some development activity on these vacant lots. There were several residents in attendance and I think the overall reaction was mostly positive - particularly with the design elements that clearly take into consideration the fact that a residential neighborhood would be directly across from the new commercial development. We really appreciate that consideration. With the development of highway 212, 101, and the new commercial businesses within the Crossroad lots and the Park & Ride, our immediate neighborhood environment has changed significantly over the last few years. The association is eager to be at the table and partner with the City and other entities to create a great neighborhood environment for all parties. There seemed to be two primary concerns of the residents from the Springfield neighborhood that were in attendance: the fast food restaurant and the lack of landscape screening around the homes that directly boarder 101 and Lyman Blvd. The residents seem to acknowledge that some type of restaurant was expected to be included in the development, but they were a bit surprised that a fast food option with a drive through was being considered. However, I think with some planning and partnering around the issue of landscape screening and more information about how the design of the fast food restaurant is different and more suitable to the environment, we will be able to relieve some of the concerns of the residents. If possible, I would appreciate a few minutes of your time to talk through plans and concerns so that we can assure our residents that both the developer and the City personnel are aware of the concerns and that we are at the table to help make this a win -win development for all parties. Please let me know if a meeting is possible and, if so, what dates /times work best for you. I would really appreciate the opportunity.

My main concerns are the drive -thru since there are so many children in the area and the smell. I really don't want to step out of my house and smell French fries every day! If it is build will you be requiring scrubbing equipment? I am also concerned about the amount of trash blowing around the neighborhood. I thought the plan was for community centered business and not freeway commuters? Thank you, Scott Paulson AI -Jaff, Sharmeen From: Jen gaargraves @aol.com] Sent: Friday, February 22, 2013 1:48 PM To: AI -Jaff, Sharmeen Subject: 101 cross roads Hello, Thank you for going through the effort of having the open public meetings for the 101 /cross roads development. My Association updated me on the project. I am excited that the builder is finally progressing with it. Currently I have my Chiropractic practice in Kline Bank and I have been waiting to see how this development progresses in hopes of opening a Health Spa. I have concerns with a drive through in that location. It is half that the traffic flow is not encouraging for people to stop at other businesses in that location. The supplement shope in chan. by the Wendy's has not seen any increase in business. The other half of me doesn't like the fact that it is a Mc Donald's, for two reasons. One just because of the type of food but the other is that we have been having "teen" problems in our neighborhood. Personally we have had one drug related incident and a theft. I feel that having that type of drive through this far from the city would only encourage more of those behaviors. I will email my concerns to the builder also since they are the ones potentially renting to "Drive through" businesses. I leave it up to your skills regarding traffic patterns, safety with the school there and the increased foot traffic that will no doubt increase. Again, I appreciate the effort that goes into these projects. Keep up the great work!

It is too residential of a location. There is all the fast food locations in downtown Chanhassen, this is close enough. Crossroads development should take into consideration the existing businesses in downtown Chan.if not we will soon have no reason to come to downtown Chan. which will inevitably hurt the existing businesses. Please consider this.

We attended the meeting, the development looks well planned and is visually appealing. Our biggest concerns are the noise, smell, trash and increased traffic. If you are to approve the plan I would like to see it include screening, trees etc, that would reduce the glare of the lights and the noise to our home. I am also wondering if the area that is currently proposed with outside seating is a smoking area and will music be played over an outdoor speaker? I am confident that you will work hard to address the concerns of all the parties while maintaining the integrity of the established areas and developing another quality project for the city. We would be happy to meet with you to discuss the project.

As I recall we were assured that this type of business would not be allowed as it didn't fit the plan. Typically this type of establishment would be open late into the evening. The traffic level and noise associated with the long hours would negatively impact our neighborhood. The smell of the fast food would overpower our neighborhood. I have yet to see an area with a fast food establishment that didn't have increased amount of trash in the surrounding areas.
