SUBJ: A. Key Financial Strategy - Land Use Vision for County Road 61
B. TH 101 Minnesota River Crossing & CSAH 61 Improvements
Update
A. Key Financial Strategy — Land Use Vision for County Road 61
One of the priorities in the City Council's Key Financial Strategies was to review the
Planning for Infrastructure. The strategy is stated below:
Planning for the City Infrastructure: Create solutions for managing existing
infrastructure and future growth in our community while preserving a sustainable
quality of life and protecting the environment.
• Begin Development Planning for Area Surrounding the New River
Crossing/Develop a Shared Land Use Vision for County Road 61
Following is a discussion of the importance of studying and planning for the
development of this area.
BACKGROUND
With the scheduled upgrade of the Highway 101 River Crossing and County Road 61,
the city has an opportunity to plan for impending development pressures based on the
opportunities that these improved corridors create. This corridor is our southern
gateway and the city must be proactive in guiding the development in this area.
This corridor and the surrounding land form are challenging for development because
of the topography, natural and environmental features, and land ownership. These
features also create opportunities for unique development.
There are approximately 685 acres of property in the corridor study area. There is
Senior Center approximately 360 gross acres of developable or redevelopable land. Some of the
Phone: 952.227.1125 challenges include 325 acres of property in the Seminary Fen Scientific and Natural
Fax 952.227.1110 Area, Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge and the Raguet Wildlife Management Area.

Planning Issues
1. A portion of the property is zoned Business Fringe (BF)
The intent of the 'BF" district is to accommodate limited commercial uses temporary in nature
without urban services, while maintaining the integrity, minimizing impact to, and protecting the
natural environment. When urban services are available, land use may change to a higher and
improved use of the property.
Some of the uses on the BF district may be in conflict with higher and better uses in the future.
In addition, the BF district is not consistent with the future land use designation along the
corridor. It is guided for predominately Office to the west of Highway 101 and Office - Industrial
and High Density Residential to the east of Highway 101.
2.7.5 BUSINESS FRINGE DISTRICT
The City has a Business Fringe district that was created to accommodate limited commercial activity
without urban services. This land use district located at the intersection of Highway 101 and Flying
Cloud Drive will no longer be consistent with the City's land use once urban services arc available.

2.13.3 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ZONING MAP INCONSISTENCY
Regardless of a property's land use designation, properties not served by urban services shall not
be rezoned to a zoning category consistent with the land use designation until such time as urban
services arc available. Current zoning of a parcel with a Iess- intensive land use designation may
remain. Intensification of land uses may only happen with the provision of urban services.

2. Land Assembly.
Assembly and parcel access consideration should be determined by best practices rather than
having one development dictating the plan. Parcel site analysis and concept plans should be
developed.
3. Natural Features.
The impact of the natural features (slopes, bluff, creeks, floodplains, wetlands, etc.) and the
limitations to development should be studied to determine the maximum development potential
along the corridor. This data would provide the information needed to determine the cost
effectiveness of municipal services. Gedney Pickle and adjacent property have potential for
redevelopment but the cost to extend service past the Seminary Fen Scientific and Natural Area
needs to be studied.
Engineering Issues
1. Securing funding for the completion of the gap of Highway 101 between Pioneer Trail and
County Road 61.
With the improvement of the segment of Highway 101 north of Pioneer Trail and south of
County Road 61 there will be pressure to complete the gap. The gap will also limit development
due to the potential for municipal services because the current plan for utility extension is to
follow the alignment of Highway 101. The city has requested bonding in the 2014 state
legislative session. Staff also envisions applying for federal funding through the Metropolitan
Council 2014 solicitation. Staff is also working to advance turnback funds for this segment.

2. Time and Cost Effective Extension of Municipal Services.
Besides the gap in the highway there is a gap in municipal services. Sewer and water is currently
available at the south side of Powers Boulevard and Pioneer Trail intersection. A trunk lift
station still needs to be constructed to make the sewer line operational. Water will also be
available on the south side of the TH 101 and Pioneer Trail intersection in 2014. The study is
proposed to examine the timing and any impediments to providing sewer and water to the
County Road 61 (Flying Cloud Drive) area. The study will use the 2030 comprehensive plan as
the starting point and look to see if any changes need to be made to the plan based on recent
roadway improvement projects and developments.

Staff is recommending that the city initiate a County Road 61 Corridor Study similar to the
process and analysis that was done for the Highway 5 Corridor Study. Funding for this study is
currently being recommended for 2014 in the CIP.
B. TH 101 Minnesota River Crossing and CSAH 61 Improvements Update
The design for the TH 101 Minnesota River Crossing and CSAH 61 Improvements is moving
along and the project is on schedule to be bid in April. MnDOT is working on the final design of
the bridge and will give the plan set over to Carver County since the County will be bidding the
project. Street lighting is not planned on the bridge except at low points in the roadway and at
the curves at the bridge end points. The roundabout will have lighting and Flying Cloud Drive

Highway 101 and County Road 61
October 28, 2013

will have lighting at the signal for Highway 101 North and at the roundabout at Bluff Creek
Drive. The trail section for the Highway 101 Minnesota River Bridge will not have lighting.
MnDOT is working on two interpretative signs for the trail rest areas on the Highway 101
bridge. These signs will include information about the Minnesota River; how it flows through
the state, its settlement history and the natural resources to support human and natural life, as
wells as flooding history and present day use. Wildlife in the Minnesota Valley will also be
included. One sign may address the archeology findings unearthed by this project. A trail sign
with a trail map will be located at each end of the bridge.
At this time landscaping is not planned to be extensive in the project area due to right -of -way
constraints and future development potential. The center of the two roundabouts are planned to
be landscaped but not the corridor itself. The cost for landscaping is not turnback- funding
eligible, and Carver County does not participate in landscaping per their new cost participation
policy.
Two city entry monument concepts are attached to this background. Federal guidelines for
roundabout design discourage fixed objects from being constructed in roundabouts. MnDOT
also has adopted this guideline. MnDOT and Carver County have agreed the monument sign can
be constructed in the roundabout; however, the cost and maintenance would be the city's
responsibility. Also, the County wants to be held harmless from any claim related to the trees
and monument. Staff is looking for feedback from council if an entry monument should be
included in the project.

with low density uses and shall comply with chapter 20, article XXV, of the Chanhassen City
Code.
The buffer yard is not an additional setback requirement. The full obligation to provide the
buffer yard shall be placed on the parcel containing the higher intensity use.
The buffer yard is intended to provide physical separation and screening for the higher
intensity use. As such, they will be required to be provided with a combination of berming,
landscaping and/or tree preservation to maximize the buffering potential. To the extent
deemed feasible by the city, new plantings shall be designed to require the minimum of
maintenance, however, such maintenance as may be required to maintain consistency with
the approved plan, shall be the obligation of the property owner.
Sec. 20 -775. - Interim uses.
The following are interim uses in the 'BF" district:
