The I site is located at the southeast corner of Peaceful Lane and Pleasant View Road. The purpose of the operation is to create two building pads on the northwest quarter of the site. Also intended in this proposal is the expansion of the existing retention pond located to the northeast of the site and on Troendle Subdivision. There has been some discussion in the past regarding the status of the pond on Lot 5, Vineland Addition. This pond has the characteristics of a poor wetland and is shown on the Fish and Wild Life Map, however, this pond is man made and was created by the owner. When the city installed sewer and water lines along Peaceful Lane this work apparently caused the drain tile from Lot 5, Vineland Addition to be crushed. The city did restore the system shortly after. The northeast portion of the site started retaining water and eventually the pond started taking on wetland characteristics (see Attachment #2). Several discussions have taken place between staff, City Council, and the owner of the property over a period of years. It has been determined that the pond is not a wetland. This proposal will allow Lot 5, Vineland Addition to become compatible with it's intended 1 residential use. The operation is proposed to take 45 to 50 working days with construction starting June 15, and ending August 15, 1992, weather permitting. The applicant is proposing hours of operation from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The proposed area for correcting soils and filling will primarily take place along the northwestern portions of the site which has minimal vegetation. The applicant is proposing to relocate 1 any trees that might be affected by this operation. The area containing mature trees is located along the southern portion of the site. Grading of the site will have no impact on those trees. It should also be noted that one of the primary reasons for proceeding with the I work at this time is due to the availability of fill material from Highway 5 construction. Thus, approval of this request will serve to facilitate the timely completion of the project this summer. 1 During the platting process of Vineland Forest, a concept street plan was adopted to service Vineland Forest and the adjoining future subdivisions. This plan has been upheld with the platting of Vineland Forest and Troendle Addition. The plan calls for connecting Nez Perce Drive with Pleasant View Road, via Peaceful Lane. On April 13, 1992, the City Council authorized preparation of a feasibility study for the extension of Nez Perce Drive through Lot 5, Vineland Addition. Work on the study is proposed to begin the week of May 3, 1992. Staff recommends the applicant coordinate work efforts with Engelhardt & Associates, as they are the firm that will be conducting the feasibility study. Any modifications in the site grading on storm sewer improvements as a result of the feasibility study, should be included 1 1 1 IUP for Vineland Addition May 6, 1992 I Page 3 in this proposal. The proposed earthwork does not appear to have any negative impact I upon the future completion of the street. The plan proposes erosion control along all areas proposed for grading. Street cleaning and I dust control is also proposed, which will minimize any impact of the excavation to the adjacent streets and properties. Part of the feasibility study will be addressing the realignment and reconstruction of Peaceful Lane. This realignment will take place I concurrently with the extension of Nez Perce Drive, which will bring Peaceful Lane to city standards and repair any damage that might have taken place during the earth work operation. Staff will also inspect the condition of Pleasant View Road before and after the I earthwork operation and will hold guarantees in the form of a letter of credit to insure restoration. Therefore, staff is comfortable that the excavation will not negatively impact existing uses of the surrounding properties and streets. I The truck haul route will enter the site at the west corner onto Peaceful Lane to Pleasant View Toad to County Road 17, to Highway 5, to West 78th, onto Quattro Drive, to Lot 7, 1 Block 1, Park One 3rd Addition, where some of the fill is being imported from. The trucks will return via the same route (see Attachment #1). The request for grading Lot 7, Block 1, Park One 3rd Addition, and the filling of Lot 5, Vineland Addition is being reviewed 1 concurrently. The drainage and erosion will be controlled with silt fences shown on the plan and as 1 required by the Engineering Department. Any dust problems will be controlled with water trucks and street sweepers. All disturbed area will have topsoil respread and seeded once I the earthwork has been completed. There are no wetland areas being disturbed. The site will be left in a condition that will facilitate its future development for residential I single family uses consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and existing zoning. The proposed interim use permit application is fairly straight forward. Staff is proposing I a zoning ordinance amendment to allow earthwork in all districts as an interim use. If this amendment is approved, the application will be in compliance with the Excavating, Mining, Filling and Grading Ordinance. With the conditions added by staff to ensure proper I restoration and minimize any traffic conflicts, staff is recommending approval of the interim use permit. I COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXCAVATING. MINING. FILLING AND GRADING ORDINANCE I Section 7 of the ordinance provides a series of standards which an interim use permit must be in compliance with. 1 1 1 IUP for Vineland Addition 1 May 6, 1992 Page 4 1 Section 7 -40 - Fees The ordinance allows the City to determine the fee schedule for each permit and that each 1 permit must be annually reviewed by the City Engineer. Section 7 -41 provides for an irrevocable letter of credit that will be required to ensure compliance with conditions of approval. Finding 1 Staff is proposing that a $7,000 letter of credit be required to ensure compliance with conditions outlined below (see Senior Engineering Technician Memo). The letter of credit will cover site restoration, preparing an as-built grading plan upon completion to verify work in compliance with plans, maintenance of adjoining roads including repair of damage directly as a result of the hauling and for maintenance 1 of erosion control and dust control measures and landscaping. In addition, a permit fee from the Uniform Building Code will be applied requiring a permit fee of $238.50 to be paid. In addition the applicant shall reimburse the city for staff all city r and city attorney time used to monitor and inspect the operation shall be paid at a rate of $30.00 per hour. Staff will document the time on a monthly basis and bill the applicant. I Section 7 -42 - Setbacks I The ordinance requires that a setback of 100 feet from existing street rights -of -way and 300 feet from adjoining property lines be required for mining activities. F This condition does not apply. It is intended for mining activities only. 1 Section 7-43 - Fencing 1 The ordinance requires fencing for areas which will be converted to steep grades or where on site ponding exists if the Council determines that a safety hazard exists. 1 Finding 1 The excavation and filling will actually create two building pads for future homes as well as remove some bad soils. Through some discussions with the applicant, it was 1 stated that the intent is to berm and landscape the northerly edge of the site, along 1 1 IUP for Vineland Addition May 6, 1992 ' Page 5 pleasant View Road, with mature trees. Resulting grades will not be adversely affected. Therefore, safety hazards should not exist and fencing is not recommended. Section 7 -44 - Appearance and Screening ' The ordinance requires that the visual impact of grading and mining operations be 9 P � g g Pe minimized and that where necessary, screening be provided. Finding r This is a temporary excavation process which will be leveling the area for future home sites and will immediately be restored with seeding. Therefore, the visual impact of the grading will be minimal and screening will not be necessary. Section 7 -45 - Operations, Noise, Hours, Explosives, Dust, Water, Pollution, Top Soil ' Preservation A. Maximum Noise Levels as measured at the perimeter of the site shall be within limits set by the MPCA and by the Federal EPA. Finding Staff does not feel that the earthwork on the site will be excessive beyond the activities being experienced in the area with improvements to Nez Perce Drive I through Troendle Addition and development of residential sites in the area. To ensure that the noise levels do not become excessive, a condition is being provided that noise levels not exceed MPCA and EPA limits. If noise testing is required by 1 the city, the cost shall be paid by the applicant. B. Earth work is permitted only during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday ' through Saturday and prohibited on national holidays. Finding The applicant has stated that hauling will take place between the hours of 8:00 PP g P a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. This is in compliance with the hours as stated in the ordinance. Staff is concerned with the truck traffic during rush hour and feels that condition should be imposed that would minimize the impact. We are particularly concerned due to Highway 5 construction activities that have already complicated traffic patterns. The haul route is on Highway 5 and is in fact part of the Highway 5 improvement project as some of the fill material for Lot 5, Vineland Addition will be imported for Highway 5 fill If the Planning Commission and 1 , IUP for Vineland Addition 1 May 6, 1992 Page 6 1 Council wish to restrict hauling during peak hours, they may condition approval upon no hauling during rush hour periods. Usually rush hour periods on Hwy. 5 is from I 7:00 -8:00 a.m. and 3:45 -5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The City Engineer shall make that determination. C. Operators are required to use all practical means to eliminate vibration on adjacent property from equipment operation. _ F 1 Staff does not feel there will be a problem with vibration on adjacent property since it is separated by public right -of -way. This condition was provided for mining activities. In this case, the operation is small and on temporary bases and would not cause vibration. 1 D. Operators shall comply with all applicable regulations for the protection of water quality. 1 Finding III The applicant is providing erosion control surrounding the expanded and to prevent PP P g g P pond P e t erosion into the pond. There are no wetlands in the near vicinity of the area and therefore, staff feels that there will be no water quality problems as a result of this activity. E. Operators shall comply with all regulations for the protection of wetlands. 1 Finding 1 There are no wetlands in the near vicinity of the activity which will be impacted by the excavation. F. Operators shall comply with all requirements of the Watershed District where the property is located. 1 Finding The applicant is providing erosion control around the pond to meet requirements of I the Watershed District. Watershed District approval is required. G. All top soil shall be retained at the site until complete restoration of the site has taken place according to the restoration plan. II 1 IUP for Vineland Addition May 6, 1992 1 Page 7 Finding 1 A stockpile will provided for the topsoil which will be respread on the site as soon as the excavation is completed. H. Operators shall use all practical means to reduce the amount of dust, smoke and fumes caused by the operations. When atmospheric or other conditions make it impossible to prevent dust from migrating off site, mining operations shall cease. Finding Staff does not anticipate a problem with these impacts with the site's location and precautions that the applicant is providing for the excavation. The applicant will be 1 providing water trucks for dust control and street sweepers. I. To control dust and minimize tracking of sand, gravel and dirt onto public streets, internal private roads to any public roadway shall be paved with asphalt or concrete for a distance of 300 feet to the intersection of the public roadway. Alternate means of controlling this problem may be accepted by the city. Finding 1 The streets that will be used for the hauling are paved with curb and gutter or substandard in width. The applicant is providing street clean -up on a daily basis or as needed. The proposed trucks are leaving the site via Peaceful Lane located west of the site then entering Pleasant View Road. Grading will be taking place next to Peaceful Lane. There will not be enough distance for the debris to fall of the trucks, 1 therefore, an improvement such as a sediment trap is necessary. J. All haul routes to and from the mine shall be approved by the City and shall only use streets that can safely accommodate the traffic. Finding 1 The trucks will be entering and exiting the site from the west via Peaceful Lane, then g g , going west on Pleasant View Road, south on County Road 17, east on Highway 5, 1 east on West 78th Street, onto Quattro Drive. (see Attachment #1). The trucks will then be going in the opposite direction, back to the site. Staff is concerned with the truck traffic during rush hour and feels that conditions should be imposed that would 1 minimize the impact. We are particularly concerned due to Highway 5 construction activities that have already complicated traffic patterns. The haul route is on Hwy. 5 and is in fact part of the Hwy. 5 improvement project as some of the fill material 1 IUP for Vineland Addition May 6, 1992 Page 8 1 for Lot 5, Vineland Addition will be imported from Highway 5 fill. Staff is recommending that if the City Engineer determines that traffic conflicts result due to rush hour traffic flows, the hours of operation be appropriately restricted. Section 7 -46 - Restoration Standards The ordinance provides a series of standards outlining site restoration. These are reviewed below. 1 A. The plan must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. 1 Finding The Comprehensive Plan illustrates this area as residential and the applicant's P PP proposal to level the site is in conformance with the intended use of it being a residential site. Therefore, staff believes that the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. B. Restoration shall be a continuing operation occurring as quickly as possible after 1 extraction operation has moved. Finding 1 Restoration will be completed immediately after the excavated material has been removed. Staff will be maintaining a letter of credit to cover the restoration costs in the case that the applicant does not or is unable to restore the site in a timely manner. 1 C. All banks and slopes shall be left in accordance with the restoration plans submitted with the permit application. 1 Finding Staff is recommending that an as -built grading plan be provided at the completion of the project so that staff can confirm the volume of material that has been imported and that the site is constructed as proposed. 1 D. Slopes, graded areas and backfill areas shall be surfaced with adequate top soil to secure and hold ground cover. Such ground cover shall be tended as necessary until it is self sustaining. r i 1 IUP for Vineland Addition May 6, 1992 1 Page 9 Finding The topsoil is being preserved on the site and will be respread after excavation of the clay material. The topsoil will then be seeded to ensure ground cover for 1 stabilization of the area. E. All water areas resulting from excavation shall be eliminated upon restoration of the ' site. Finding There will be no water areas, excluding the existing and which will be an g g p expanded, resulting from the excavation of the site, therefore, this condition is not applicable. F. No part of the restoration area which is planned for uses other than open space or ' agricultural shall be at an elevation lower than the minimum required for connection sanitary or storm sewer. 1 Finding The finished grade of the site is at an elevation that will allow for the connection of municipal water, sanitary and storm sewer. G. Provide a landscaping plan illustrating reforestation, ground cover, wetland restoration or other features. Finding The letter from the applicant states that the excavated areas will be restored with the topsoil and seeded immediately after excavation. No trees or other forms of 1 vegetation need to be replaced on the site. INTERIM USE PERMIT STANDARDS ' Mining operations will be allowed in the RSF District as an interim use permit if the g P p requested zoning ordinance amendment is approved. The ordinance provides that interim 1 use permits are reviewed under the general issuance standards established for conditional use permits, Section 20 -232, of the ordinance. The following constitutes a compilation of the general issuance standards and staffs findings for each. 1 1 IUP for Vineland Addition May 6, 1992 Page 10 ' 1. Will not be detrimental to or enhance the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. ' * The proposed earthwork is a temporary operation which will be completed on August 15, 1992. The importing of 18,000 cubic yards of fill will provide topography on the site which will be compatible with proposed residential uses and therefore it will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, comfort, or general welfare of the city. , 2. Will be consistent with the objectives of the city's Comprehensive Plan and this chapter. * The earthwork will be maintainin g the site in a form suitable for residential use which is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and this chapter. 3. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so to be compatible gn p co pa ble in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area. * The proposed earthwork and filling will be maintaining the site, compatible appearance with existing or intended character of the general vicinity. The slope will be leveled and the retention pond will be enlarged. This activity will not be changing the essential character of the area. The land will be restored to a natural state once excavation is completed and will remain as such until development of the site. The applicant has suggested through discussions with staff that the intent is to berm and landscape the northerly edge of the site along Pleasant View Road with mature trees. 4. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned neighboring uses. 1 * With the precautions being taken by the applicant and with the conditions of approval, the activity will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned neighboring uses, provided the applicant address the debris control. 5. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, , police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use. * The use is temporary which does not need to be served by public facilities and services. The finished elevation will allow the site to be served by sanitary sewer and water once it is developed in the future. 1 IUP for Vineland Addition May 6, 1992 Page 11 6. Will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. * The activity will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and will t not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. 7. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, rodents, or trash. * The proposed excavation could result in excessive traffic, noise and fumes. ' The conditions of the approval will provide standards by which the activities should be minimized. S. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which do not create traffic congestion or interfere with traffic or surrounding public thoroughfares. * The excavation operation does have the potential to conflict with traffic on Hwy. 5 especially during the rush hour periods. Staff is recommending that if it is felt that traffic during rush hour is potentially a hazardous situation, the city could limit the hours of hauling on weekdays to non -rush hour periods. With the this condition, staff feels the potential traffic conflicts will be minimized and will not be a potential hazard. ' 9. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of solar access, natural, scenic or historic features of major significance. ' The proposal will not result in any significant impact to natural or historic features. 10. Will be aesthetically compatible atible with the area. * The area proposed for excavation, once completed, will still be aesthetically compatible with the surrounding residential sites. The applicant intends to berm and landscape the north portion of the site along Pleasant View Road with mature trees and shrubs. 11.

We moved out here in 1962. At the time we moved, Carver 17 (Powers Blvd) ran right past our place (from what is now Lake Lucy Road north on what is now Peaceful Lane and then west on what is now Pleasant View Road).During the discussion on widening Carver 17 it was finally decided to reroute it cutting out what is now Peaceful Lane and the west end of Pleasant View Road, bringing in tons of fill because of that area being very low from the desired grade. During that rerouting we had a pond dug in the north end of our property which added a lot as far as beautification was concerned. We kept this mowed and fenced for the 13 horses we had at one time. 1 Subsequently, in time, the city contracted for sewer and water. Without our knowledge the drain tile draining our field was crushed under the road causing the field to become swampy. r We finally had to remove the horses and we then removed the fence. In talking this over with our neighbor after we had lost over $100 trying to clean out the tile he said we should have the city repair it because it was crushed during the laying of the sewer and water pipe. The city agreed once it was explained that our neighbor had witnessed the crushing. Unfortunately the back -hoe used for digging did not have a long enough reach so the tile replaced under the road was left too high. Although it helped some it still left the field wet for about half the summer. We were now at least able to again cut up to the pond. 1 When we started to talk about the city taking the southwest corner of our property for the water tower Bill Monk came out and we again discussed the mess left by the city due to the 1 crushing of the drain tile and the inadequate attempt at repair. He assured me this would be done to our satisfaction and passed this agreement on to Gary Warren. When Gary Warren and I met he told me the city would not only fix the drainage problem by 1 laying a tube from the road but they would bring in dirt from some surplus they had to cover the tube and even possibly plant some small trees on the west side. He was challenged on the ability of the tube to drain to pond because of the pitch, but he felt that would be no problem. It turns out it wa&s.46roblem because to bring the tube to water height they had to bring it back down from its proper drain pitch starting about 30 feet from the edge of the pond. Now for the water to flow out of the pond to maintain the previous acceptable level it 1 - 4 1 t---• • has to flow uphill. When this was brought to Gary's attention he agreed to have a back -hoe g ry gr brought in and pull dirt out from within the pond and raise the edge enough so it would be higher and keep the integrity of the kidney shape of the pond. What apparently was not known by Gary or the back -hoe operator is unless we can go down at least 4 feet at the edge of the water cattails and other water loving growth will proliferate. The back -hoe lefta shallow shelf all around the pond and consequently we now have what is called a "wetlands" with all the restrictions that are placed on the property owner to maintain it. Before realizing the ramifications of the result of the wetlands classification I had asked Gary to correct the problem. He said the city was through. They were not going to do any more. About this same time we were working on developing the property and we asked the land planner what we could do. They suggested we bring in fill if our neighbor agrees and raise the base on the whole north end of our two properties and then bring in a back -hoe with 1 enough reach or a dragline to reshape the pond. Since this sounded reasonable we let it be known we could use some fill. We now have about all the fill we think is needed but now we need somebody to grade and then we get your Certified Mail letter laying additional burdens on us to try to correct an injustice done by the city many years ago. It seems to me in all fairness the city is the one that should have completely restored the area to our original landscape before the sewer and water was installed. We have been advised we would have a good chance of winning a law suit if we were litigate prone, but we are not. We hope this was evident when the city condemned the property for the water tower. As you recall in our phone conversation you told me this would have to go before the council 1 to get a waiver. When asked if this could be accomplished before we left town you felt not and suggested this letter. As a result we are also sending a copy to the council members and hope the combined wisdom will favor us. 1 Sincerely, �� .' . �c edue 1 A W Owens 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1. . ci .

During the review of the Vineland Forest plat in 1989, the City Council I adopted a concept that would provide a long term connection through adjoining properties to serve this need. The road was constructed up to the west property line of Vineland Forest, but ultimately must go across the adjacent Troendle property and Art Owens' parcel I to make the connection. Last year during the review of the proposed subdivision of the Troendle property, this road connection proposal was again reviewed and upheld, and appropriate right -of -way taken. During this review, area residents asked the Council to 1 make the connection to avoid local traffic impacts; however, this proved to not be possible at that point in time since the adjoining Owens' parcel was in bankruptcy and was not I proposed for subdivision at that time. Consequently, the developer of the Troendle Addition was required to place $10,000 on deposit with the city, which is the Troendle Addition's share of completing the street across the Owens' parcel. This money is being I held by the city to be used towards the ultimate connection. When the Troendle Addition was approved, the City Council asked that this item be brought I back up within 18 months and while this time period has not fully lapsed, recent events have caused us to reconsider this condition. We have held discussions with a representative of Frank Beddor, who is seeking to purchase a portion of the Owens' parcel. It is our I understanding that the Owens' parcel would be coming out of the bankruptcy protection. What is not clear at this point is when the city would be in a position to take the right -of- way through the subdivision process, in fact at the present time, it looks more and more like I we may have to go in and condemn the final piece of right -of -way. Based upon this, I think it would be useful for the city to take a portion of the $10,000 fund and undertake a feasibility study for the roadway extension. This would be highly useful in defining a /: -- PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 7 - l ( 1 Charles Folch 1 April 7, 1992 Page 2 1 centerline, which has never been done for this route, as well as engineering and construction requirements, and costs. At the very least, this would allow us to officially map the route 1 to protect it from development even if we do not proceed with construction immediately. Secondly, the cost of the study would not be wasted since it is necessary to do one before we could build the road however the right -of -way is acquired. I would urge the Engineering Department and the City Council to undertake this action as soon as possible so that we may be in a position to assure that the final link of this road is constructed in a timely manner. 1 CITY ENGINEER'S COMMENT 1 As Paul has expressed in his memo, it would be of great benefit for the City to define and officially map the alignment for this last segment of Nez Perce Drive through the Owens property connecting with Peaceful Lane and ultimately Pleasant View Road, particularly since there seems to be at least one party interested in purchasing this land. It would be appropriate to use the $10,000 dedicated from the Troendle Addition to perform this study. 1 I will be meeting with Bill Engelhardt later in the week to discuss a number of issues. It is my intention to also provide him with the necessary information to prepare a cost proposal for the sutdy which I can present to the City Council on Monday night. It is 1 therefore recommended that authorization be given to prepare a feasibility study for the extension of Nez Perce Drive through the Owens property to Pleasant View Road at a cost not to exceed $10,000 and that Engelhardt & Associates be assigned the project engineer.

As a resident of Chanhassen, I am writing this letter to express my concern with connecting Nez Pierce to Pleasant View Road. Connecting Nez Pierce to Pleasant View Road would significantly increase the amount of traffic on Pleasant View Road which is already extremely over traveled. Pleasant View Road has become a I "shortcut" for getting from one side to the other side of Lotus Lake /Christmas Lake. This "shortcut" mentality has caused many commuters to travel at speeds in excess of the posted speed limit and at I speeds which are clearly unsafe for this road. As you are aware, Pleasant View Road is the only passageway from County Road 17 to Highway 101 between Highway 5 and Highway 7. The road was II never designed to carry the amount of traffic that it is currently handling. The road is very narrow with numerous blind curves, steep drop -offs to Lotus Lake, and has no shoulder or walkway. In addition to 1 the limitations of this road, the road surface has deteriorated a great deal over past couple of years due to the amount of excess usage. A tremendous amount of residential development has taken place on both the east and west ends of Pleasant View Road over the past couple of years. As a result of increased traffic generated by new development, Pleasant View Road has become a very unsafe road to travel by vehicle 11 let alone trying to walk or bicycle on. In my opinion a four -lane freeway would be a safer place to walk or ride a bicycle. Development which is planned for the future will only generate more traffic on this II road if a plan is not developed which will reduce the usage of this road. II II- 1 • 1 Page 2 A plan for Pleasant View Road should be developed which would reduce the amount of usage and which would give people who jog, walk and bicycle an opportunity to enjoy this scenic drive and an opportunity for Chanhassen to retain its small town atmosphere. The commuters that currently use Pleasant View Road as a shortcut should be re- routed to Highway 5 and Highway 7 that are designed to handle commuting traffic at commuting speeds. I would appreciate if the Chanhassen City Council would take my concerns and suggestions under consideration before allowing additional access to Pleasant View Road and for future planning discussions. 1 Sincerely, Randy Bauernfeind 1 1 1 1 I/ • 1 1 1 .1 CITYOF i i 1 \ ,i CHANHASSEN 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O.

I The proposed work consists of soil corrections, filling, storm sewer construction and reshaping the existing pond on the site. Troendle Addition, which lies immediately east of the proposed site, has a retention pond which is also impacted by this work. The applicant I is proposing to combine these two ponds and fill around the pond to create two building pads on the west side of the pond adjacent to Peaceful Lane. I The existing pond elevation on the site is controlled by an existing 8 -inch PVC drain tile located in the southwest corner of the site. The drain tile crosses Peaceful Lane and outlets immediately into a ditch and continues via overland flowage to the west towards Powers I Boulevard. The applicant is proposing to extend and modify the outlet pipe by constructing two manholes /catch basins and extending the pipe to the new pond location. The existing pond outlet pipe is proposed to be removed. 1 The applicant is also the developer of Troendle Addition. City Ordinance required the developer to construct a retention pond to retain storm runoff from a 100 -year storm event. I This retention pond is proposed to be connected to the new pond on Lot 5. Staff recommends the applicant provide the City with storm runoff calculations for pond storage and pipe hydraulics. The calculations as well as the construction plans for the storm sewer t will need to be prepared by a professional engineer. Based on field inspections, it appears the drain tile is actually 8" PVC, not 6" PVC as indicated on the plans. The proposed storm sewer system is designated to be constructed partially in Peaceful Lane right -of -way which 1 l 1 t ist PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER Sharmin Al -Jaff 1 May 1, 1992 Page 2 1 typically would deem maintenance responsibilities onto the City. Staff also envisions when I this parcel subdivides the remaining section of storm sewer would also be dedicated by easement to the City for ownership. Staff considers the proposed storm sewer improvements as an interim or temporary system until the feasibility report and /or site plan approval is achieved. At that time, a more permanent drainage system will be designed in accordance to City design standards. Construction of the permanent storm sewer system would be included with Nez Perce street extension. 1 The City is currently in the process of preparing a feasibility report to extend Nez Perce Drive from Troendle Addition to Peaceful Lane. It appears the proposed grading will not I adversely affect the future street extension. However, depending on the results of the feasibility study currently undertaken by the City, the extension of Nez Perce Road to Peaceful Lane and ultimately Pleasant View Road may require modifications to the I applicant's site grading and storm sewer alignment. The applicant shall be responsible for any modifications to the site grading and storm sewer system as a result of the approved I feasibility study. The erosion control detail proposes installing silt fence around the perimeter of the pond. All disturbed areas are proposed to be restored with topsoil & seed. Staff also recommends placement of mulch due to the slopes adjacent the pond. Staff finds the overall intent of this project acceptable subject to the conditions listed below. 1 1. The applicant shall provide storm runoff calculations for the ordinary high water I level, 100 -year flood elevation and pipe hydraulics prepared by a professional engineer. 2. An emergency overflow swale should be constructed over the southwesterly portion I of the site to drain across Peaceful Lane. The swale should be the approximate location of where the existing drain tile is located. 1 3. The applicant shall be responsible for incorporating any modifications to the site grading and storm sewer improvements as a result of the approved feasibility report. 1 4. The applicant shall provide the City with a letter of credit in the amount of $5,000 to guarantee compliance with the terms of the Interim Use /Earthwork Permit. 1 5. The applicant shall obtain and comply with all permit requirements of the Watershed District. 1 1 1 1 1 Sharmin Al -Jaff May 1, 1992 1 Page 3 1 6. The applicant shall be responsible for adjustment, if necessary, of all sanitary sewer and water service stubs along Pleasant View Road and Peaceful Lane. 7. Upon completion, the applicant shall provide the City with as-built plans of the grading as well as the storm sewer system. The as- builts should be in a mylar reproducible format. 8. The applicant shall be responsible for reimbursing the City all inspection and attorney's fees involved in processing the permit and inspecting the project. ' 9. The applicant shall be responsible for any and all road damage sustained from the truck hauling and construction activities. 10. The applicant shall construct and maintain a gravel construction access to the site. Access to the site shall be restricted to this access point only. 11. The applicant shall convey to the City, a drainage easement over the proposed pond. PP Y tY g P P P The easement limits shall be confined to the 100 -year flood elevation. 12.

Mr. Beddor currently owns the Troendle property and has an accepted 1 purchase agreement for Lot 5, Vineland from Mr. Owens. As the purchase agreement for Lot 5 cannot be executed prior to Mr. Owens filing his homestead exemption, this work has been reviewed and found II desireable by Mr. Owens. Frank's attorney will forward a letter approving this work by Mr. Owens. Common ownership or interests in this property enable ponding and 1 grading improvements which will greatly enhance this property as well as the surrounding area and city in general. The raising of grades in the low lying area will promote and support high quality II residential development. The integration of the ponds will improve filtration of pollutants and land use, and correct the outflow problems which currently exist. 1 Only two significant trees will be affected by this work...and they will both be relocated on site. While that satisfies the ordinance, please be advised that additional landscaping is being proposed and I/ will be forwarded shortly for your information. We have reviewed this design with the watershed engineers on a 1 preliminary basis and have followed their recommendations. Copies of our application to the watershed shall also be forwarded. We expect approval in May. Soils information has not been undertaken for the II Owens portion of the site. We expect the soils to be similar to those at the Troendle site, attached. G.M.E. will be employed as soils consultants to observe construction and test for compaction results. II Should you have any question, please do not hesitate to call. Y.

Public Present: Name Address 1 • Daryl Fortier 408 Turnpike Road, Golden Valley Jim & Mary Stassen Peaceful Lane and Pleasant View Road 1 Sharmin Al -Jaff presented the staff report on this item. Chairman Batzli called the public hearing to order. 1 Daryl Fortier: First, I'm Daryl Fortier representing Frank Beddor, Jr. He is purchasing the property from Mr. Owens. We're in agreement, I'm in agreement with the staff report. All 16 conditions of 17. The only one III would like to discuss is point number 10 which says there shall be an emergency overflow swale constructed to the southwesterly portion of the site to drain across Peaceful Lane. This would, for a swale to work as yowl all understand. This allows water to pass over the surface of the ground. ti The surface of the ground at that point is controlled by the elevation of Peaceful Lane which is about 1005. Our 100 year storm is at about 995.5. II For us to get a swale to go up another 5 feet would require us to have eight 100 year floods. Eight 100 year rains in a row. That is concurrently before the water would get that high. Emmings: What's your point? Daryl Fortier: My point is we don't think that's a viable idea. We think II that it's a good idea for lots that work but it won't apply to this lot. I think a more reasonable way of controlling an overflow situation here is to provide a second pipe which would be normally set at the 100 year elevation!' such as if the first pipe to outlet the pond ever did become obstructed, that as the water rose to the 100 year elevation, it would then flood into this other overflow pipe and allow us a secondary means of draining the lot. It's just a detail to work out with engineering. Emmings: The engineer is nodding. You've already won. Daryl Fortier: Okay. That's the sole issue. , Batzli: This is a public hearing. Would anyone else like to make a comment on this issue? Mary Stassen: My name is Mary Stassen and Jim and I live at the corner of Peaceful Lane and Pleasant View Road right across from the construction I work that they'll be doing. Back in last year's meetings when this whole IF - Planning Commission Meeting May 6, 1992 - Page 45 thing came up, before any construction activity was going to begin over on that development, the road was to be straighten out and I guess that's what my concern is. That I haven't heard anything about that and right now, because that used to be where all the traffic, where Powers Blvd. went 1 through, it's 125 feet across that entrance right there. Emmings: My recollection of that, and maybe I'm wrong. My recollection is that before, is it Nez Perce, got connected to Peaceful Lane, that's when I/ that intersection was supposed to be straighten out. Remember? Batzli: Dave, let's. 1 Hempel: If I could clarify. Yes. Partially correct there. What the City was really partaking and which actually they have ordered a feasibility report to be prepared for the actual extension of Nez Perce through the Peaceful Hills Drive I guess it's called onto Pleasant View Road. At that time we would address the proper intersection at Peaceful Hills. Batzli: What kind of timeframe? Hempel: City Council approved authorization of the feasibility study for the extension of Nez Perce Drive on March 13, 1992. We have a consultant working on it and we have a tentative date of I believe June 22nd. Well that's a City Council date but one of the Planning Commission meetings in I June. Probably the later one in June. Emmings: And is the consultant looking at fixing that corner that they live on? Hempel: That's correct. Emmings: So that's part of the project. Hempel: It will be a total package. Actually there may be two options... 1 Batzli: Okay. Do you have any more questions? Mary Stassen: Well we're just concerned about, having that 125 feet, you can pull in a dump truck and turn a complete circle in that amount of space. We're basically like 35 feet from Peaceful Lane and that corner cuts at such an angle that we can hardly get out of our driveway and people can come around at a pretty fast speed so we're really very concerned about this and I don't know where the construction traffic is going to be accessing into the land but it also would be nice if that traffic could be moved perhaps down Peaceful Lane or maybe even access in off of Pleasant View Road instead of right across from our driveway. Or right across from our house. Emmings: How will they be getting in and out to the construction site? Hempel: I'll defer that question maybe to Mr. Fortier to address. The actual access point. 1 Planning Commission Meeting May 6, 1992 - Page 46 i Daryl Fortier: We haven't selected an access point but it occurs to me that it would seem reasonable as part of the traffic management plan to putt up a barricade so that you see the barricade on Pleasant View Road that would preclude traffic from hugging the road next to the Stassen's driveway. Instead of sweeping a close curve, this would preclude them from going there and it would force them to take more of a 90 degree turn so it ' would temporarily close down the throat of Peaceful Lane. Since there's only 4 residents who use that, it seems to me to be a reasonable interim solution. 1 Emmings: Do you put up the barricade or does the City? Daryl Fortier: We can have that put up as part of the project. Emmings: So we could make it a condition here that you put up a barricade 11 to keep traffic on the south end of that away from the Stassen's property and that would be alright? Daryl Fortier: That's acceptable. 1 Mary Stassen: Do you know Daryl where they would go on...? At what point? Daryl Fortier: I have a good feeling that they're going to go onto the land just about straight across from your driveway. That's where it doesn't have any rise to it and it's pretty flat. There's a couple trees 11 they have to move there. So they're going to relocate two trees and because that's flat and that's where they have to scrape out organics. They'll come in with some backhoes first at that location and once they get the backhoes in there, since that's where they have to do the work, that II soil will be messed up and I expect that's where we'll be coming in. There is a requirement that we construct a 50 foot long gravel patch so that the mud will be taken off the equipment as it goes in and out of the site. Especially the trucks that are hauling dirt. So we'll try to keep the streets as clean as we can. Jim Stassen: ...dirt in there, you were coming in off of Pleasant... A II little bit further down. Is that possible that exit could be used? Daryl Fortier: If I could have the overhead projecter back on I can show II you what the difficulty is there. Mr. Owens had brought fill in right about this location. Brought it across the Troendle property and put it down here. We have to scrape out organics up in this area... (There was a tape change at this point in the discussion.) Batzli: Any other comments? , Emmings moved, Erhart seconded to close the public hearing. All voted in favor and the motion carried. The public hearing was closed. 1 Ahrens: My questions have been answered. I don't have anything else on this. I would go along with the staff report. Farmakes: Go along with the staff recommendation. 11 Planning Commission Meeting May 6, 1992 - Page 47 11 Emmings: Same. Ledvina: The condition number 4 indicates that the applicant shall provide storm water runoff calculations for ordinary high water. I'm sorry, yes. That's right. Ordinary high water level, 100 year flood elevation and pipe hydraulics prepared and signed by a professional engineer. I'd like the additional text added, registered in the State of Minnesota. Professional Engineer registered in the State of Minnesota. Emmings: What's the point of that because I don't understand it? ' Ledvina: Well, generally you want individuals that are working, professional engineers that are working on projects here to be registered in this state as opposed to Alabama or. It's standard terminology when you're speaking of signatures of professional engineers. Batzli: Anything else Matt? Ledvina; No, that's it. Batzli: Okay, Ladd. Tim. ' Batzli: I think it looks good. I would like to see an addition, if possible about the barrier being put up to make them go wide and avoid their property so they don't hug that corner. Would anyone like to make a 1 motion? Emmings: I'll move the Planning Commission recommend approval of Interim Use Permit #92 -3 with the conditions in the staff report. 3 will be modified according to what Sharmin told us before. Saying Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. 4 will have the change language, professional engineer be registered in the Minnesota. Number 10 will be changed. I don't know what went on there between our engineer and Daryl but 10 will be changed to conform to what they agreed to here. 11, there was an addition. If the feasibility study for the extension of Nez Perce Drive. 18, there be a new 18. Yeah, there'd be a new condition 18 that would say that during the construction period, the applicant shall locate and maintain a barricade on the west side of Peaceful Lane at it's intersection with Pleasant View. 1 The purpose of the barricade shall be to keep construction vehicles from interfering with the Stassen's use of their driveway. I have a note from our leader. Give me one minute to read it. What? ' Batzli: In accordance with the plans. Emmings: In accordance with the plans dated April 6, 1992. Stamped Received April 6, 1992. Batzli: I'll second it. j Emmings moved, Batzli seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Interim Use Permit *92 -3 in accordance with the plans stamped "Received April 6, 1992" and with the following conditions: Planning Commission Meeting May 6, 1992 - Page 48 11 1.

PUBLIC HEARING: ' INTERIM USE PERMIT FOR GRADING /EXCAVATION LOCATED AT LOT 7, PARK ONE 3RD ADDITION, FORTIER AND ASSOCIATES. Sharmin Al -Jaff presented the staff report on this item. Chairman Batzli called the public hearing to order. Daryl Fortier: I'll keep this one very short. I'm Daryl Fortier representing Frank Beddor. We're in agreement with the conditions and the addendums or amendments that Sharmin is recommending. The only point I would clarify for those who like to use professional engineers registered in Minnesota is that the person who prepares a survey is a licensed surveyor. Not an engineer. Erhart: Licensed in the State of Minnesota though. Daryl Fortier: But he is a surveyor. Emmings: But the last one was a different thing altogether. That was hydraulics. Hempel: We were talking about storm sewer. Batzli: Thank God we got that cleared up. Okay. This is a public hearing. Does anyone have any comments in regards to this application?
