PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The applicant is requesting site plan approval for the construction of a 35,000 square foot office warehouse building on Lot 6, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition. The site is zoned PUD-IOP, Planned Unit Development-Industrial Office Park, and bordered by Chuck's Grinding to the north, Lake Drive West and Quantum Control to the south, Paulstarr Enterprises to the west and Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition to the west. The lot area of the office/warehouse site is 2.74 acres. The site has full access from Lake Drive West and Commerce Drive. The applicant is proposing the use of exposed aggregate precast concrete panels on all four sides of the building. The PUD requires all walls be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping. This is a comer building that will announce the arrival to the industrial park The r~;, ...... ;~;^.~.~ ~ ~,;~. ...... ~;,., .~o;~. c^~ ~; ...... ~. ~ Th appli added an accent band over all three entrances. This band is continued across the entire building and is accented by medallions. All entrances have a metal panel above the recessed doors to give the building additional interest. The loading docks are located behind the building, facing Commerce Drive. They will be screened from views from Audubon Road and Lake Drive West. The ;;'est and no~h elevat':ons The building will serve office/industrial tenants. It is designed in an "L" shaped configuration. Parking for vehicles is located along the south portion (front yard) of the site and the truck loading area is located along the northwest portion of the site. To minimize views into the parking lot from Audubon Road, the applicant is proposing a 2-5 foot high retaining wall with a berm. The parking lot will not disappear from views but will be minimized in size since it will be screened by the retaining wall, berm, and landscaping. The overall landscape plan is of good quality. However, certain areas are lacking, such as the westerly portion of the site. The Boedecker Company July 21, 1999 Page 3 applicant could use a variety of trees and bushes for additional screening. A meandering berm of 3 to 4 feet in height runs along the south and east edge of the site to provide screening. Staff regards the project as a reasonable use of the land. ~v~. ....... ~ .~;.... ^c,h. ~...;~; ..... to be. mod;fled to ~+~'~* *~; ...... ,~+~.~ ;~n,,o,-~;n~ ~. ~.n .-..,~+ +~ o+,,,~.4~ ~,-~;oh,~n ,~,~ par~yf-t~;~I~. Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending approval of the site plan, without variances, with conditions outlined in the staff report, BACKGROUND On January 13, 1992, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for the Chanhassen Business Center as shown on the attached site plan. The PUD was amended on February 8, 1993, to allow for a church as a permitted use and the final plat for phase I of the project was approved. On April 24, 1995, the Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition, subdividing Outlot C into 7 lots, was approved by the City. The Chanhassen Business Center is an industrial/office park on 93.7 acres. The original plat consisted of 12 lots and 2 outlots. The ultimate development for this proposal was to have a total of 700,000 square feet of building area with a mix of 20% office, 25% industrial and 55% warehouse. The first phase of final plat approval included two lots. The National Weather Service (NWS) was built on Lot 1, Block 2 and the Jehovah Witness Church was built on Lot 1, Block 1 of the 1st Addition. Highland was built on Lot 2, Block 1, Power Systems on Lot 4, Block 1 and Paulstarr Enterprises was built on Lot 7, Block 1 of the 2nd Addition. One of the original conditions of the PUD was that the perimeter landscaping was to be installed as well as the trail. This condition has been met and the landscaping is consistent with the approved landscaping plan for the original PUD. On September 25, 1995, the City Council reviewed the replat of Outlot A into Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition. Control Products is built on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW The proposed building is situated on a comer lot facing Audubon Road, Lake Drive West, and Commerce Drive. Access is gained offofLake Drive West and Commerce Drive. Parking is located to the south of the proposed building. Direct views of the docks, which are located to the southwest of the building, will not be visible from Lake Drive West nor Audubon Road. Trucks will access the site from Commerce Drive. Boedecker Company July 21, 1999 Page 4 The building height is 30 feet, located 50 feet from the east, 60 feet from the north, 10 feet from the west, and 120 feet from the southern property line. The applicant is proposing the use of exposed aggregate precast concrete panels on all four sides of the building. The PUD requires all walls be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping.

The materials used to screen the trash enclosure shall be the same type of precast panel used on the building. All rooftop and ground mounted equipment must be screened from views. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The development standards will remain the same as previously approved with the PUD. a. Intent The purpose of this zone is to create a PUD light industrial/office park. The use of the PUD zone is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive proposal. All utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for development shall proceed through site plan review based on the development standards outlined below. Boedecker Company July 21, 1999 Page 5 b. Permitted Uses The permitted uses in this zone should be limited to light industrial, warehousing, and office as defined below. The uses shall be limited to those as defined herein. If there is a question as to whether or not a use meets the definition, the City Council shall make that interpretation. Light Industrial. The manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling, packaging, or testing of goods or equipment or research activities entirely within an enclosed structure, with no outside storage. There shall be negligible impact upon the surrounding environment by noise, vibration, smoke, dust or pollutants. 2. Warehousing. Means the commercial storage of merchandise and personal property. 3. Office. Professional and business office, non-retail activity. FINDING: The proposed uses of light industrial and office are consistent with the parameters established as part of the PUD. c. Setbacks In the PUD standards, there is the requirement for landscape buffering in addition to building and parking setbacks. The landscape buffer on Audubon Road is 50 feet, south of Lake Drive and 100 feet along the southern property line. The PUD zone requires a building to be setback 50 feet from the required landscape buffer and public right-of-ways. There is no minimum requirement for setbacks on interior lot lines. The following setbacks shall apply from the right-of-way: Buildin: Parkin Required (interior road system) 25' 15' Provided 120' 20' Required (Audubon Road) 50' 20' Provided 50' 20' FINDING: The proposed development meets or exceeds the minimum setbacks established as part of the PUD.

This lot can easily be accommodated within the allowable remaining developable square footage. e. Building Materials and Design The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural standards and site design. All mechanical equipment shall be screened with material compatible to the building. All materials shall be of high quality and durable. Masonry material shall be used. Color shall be introduced through colored block or panels and not painted block. 3. Brick may be used and must be approved to assure uniformity. 4. Block shall have a weathered face or be polished, fluted, or broken face. Concrete may be poured in place, tilt-up or pre-cast, and shall be finished in stone, textured or coated. Metal siding will not be approved except as support material to one of the above materials or curtain wall on office components or, as trim or as HVAC screen. 7. All accessory structures shall be designed to be compatible with the primary structure. All roof mounted equipment shall be screened by walls of compatible appearing material. Wood screen fences are prohibited. All exterior process machinery, tanks, etc., are to be fully screened by compatible materials. o The use of large unadorned, prestressed concrete panels and concrete block shall be prohibited. Acceptable materials will incorporate textured surfaces, exposed aggregate and/or other patterning. All walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping. 10. Space for recycling shall be provided in the interior of all principal structures for all developments in the Business Center. FINDING: The applicant is proposing the use of exposed aggregate precast concrete panels on all four sides of the building. The PUD requires all walls be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping. This is a comer building that will announce the arrival to the industrial park. The applicant added an accent band over all three entrances. This band is continued across the entire building and is accented by medallions. All entrances have a metal panel above the recessed doors to give the building additional Boedecker Company July 21, 1999 Page 9 area below the windows is accented by brick veneer. Site Landscaping and Screening All buffer landscaping, including boulevard landscaping, included in Phase I area to be installed when the grading of the phase is completed. This may well result in landscaping being required ahead of individual site plan approvals but we believe the buffer yard and plantings, in particular, need to be established immediately. In addition, to adhere to the higher quality of development as spelled out in the PUD zone, all loading areas shall be screened. Each lot for development shall submit a separate landscaping plan as a part of the Site plan review process. All open spaces and non-parking lot surfaces shall be landscaped, rockscaped, or covered with plantings and/or lawn material. Storage of material outdoors is prohibited unless it has been approved under site plan review. All approved outdoor storage must be screened with masonry fences and/or landscaping. The master landscape plan for the CBC PUD shall be the design guide for all of the specific site landscape developments. Each lot must present a landscape plan for approval with the site plan review process. Undulating or angular berms 3' to 4' in height, south of Lake Drive along Audubon Road shall be sodded or seeded at the conclusion of Phase I grading and utility construction. The required buffer landscaping may be installed in phases, but it shall be required where it is deemed necessary to screen any proposed development. All required boulevard landscaping shall be sodded. o Loading areas shall be screened from public right-of-ways. Wing walls may be required where deemed appropriate. Boedecker Company July 21, 1999 Page 10 FINDING: g. Signage All freestanding signs be limited to monument signs. The sign shall not exceed eighty (80) square feet in sign display area nor be greater than eight (8) feet in height. The sign treatment is an element of the architecture and thus should reflect with the quality ofthe development. The signs should be consistent in color, size, and material throughout the development. The applicant should submit a sign package for staff review. Each property shall be allowed one monument sign located near the driveway into the private site. All signs require a separate permit. The signage will have consistency throughout the development. A common theme will be introduced at the development's entrance monument and will be used throughout. 4. Consistency in signage shall relate to color, size, materials, and heights. FINDING: The applicant has not provided details regarding signage for the site. All signs must receive a permit prior to installation. h. Lighting Lighting for the interior of the business center'should be consistent throughout the development. A decorative, shoe box fixture (high pressure sodium vapor lamps) with a square ornamental pole shall be used throughout the development area for area lighting. Lighting equipment similar to what is mounted in the public street right-of-ways shall be used in the private areas. All light fixtures shall be shielded. Light level for site lighting shall be no' more than 1/2 foot candle at the property line. This does not apply to street lighting. FINDING: The applicant has not provided lighting details or calculations for this development. However, city ordinance and the PUD standards provide sufficient control to assure compliance to an established standard. GRADING AND DRAINAGE The proposed site grading for the most part complies with the grading plan for Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition. The first floor elevation will be approximately the same elevation Boedecker Company July 21, 1999 Page 11 as Audubon Road and Lake Drive West. The existing earth berm along Audubon Road will remain. The plans propose to construct a two to five foot high retaining wall along a portion of the berm for the south parking lot and building. Retaining walls in excess of 4 feet in height requires to be engineered. The top of the existing berm is approximately two to five feet higher than the first floor elevation of the building. Additional berming should be required in the southeast comer of the south parking lot to help screen the parking area in front of the building from Lake Drive West and Audubon Road. Currently, no berms exist nor are any proposed. A storm sewer system is proposed to convey storrnwater runoff from the site into an existing storm drainage system in Commerce Drive. The proposed storm sewer system is also assumed to address the roof runoff from the building. The comprehensive drainage plan/system for this subdivision was designed to accommodate drainage from this lot. The runoff is conveyed via storm sewer to a downstream regional stormwater pond for pretreatment prior to discharging off site. No additional storm water ponding improvements are necessary with this project. Detailed storm drainage calculations using the rational method shall be submitted for city review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. The drainage calculations shall verify adequate catch basins are being proposed to accommodate parking lot and building runoff. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water service is available to the site from Commerce Drive. A sewer service is also available from Lake Drive West, however no water service. The plans propose to extend a water service from Lake Drive West by open cutting the street. This will not be permitted. The plans shall be revised to extend water service around the building from Commerce Drive. All the utilities are proposed to be installed privately. Upon completion, the utility and street improvements will be owned and maintained by the property owner and not the city. The appropriate building permits and inspections will be required for extension of the utilities into the site from the City's Building Department. All utility improvements shall be installed in accordance with the City's latest edition of standard specifications and detail plates and/or state of Minnesota plumbing codes. PARKING LOT & CIRCULATION Drive aisles range between 24 and 26 feet wide which are in accordance with city codes. The driveway access to the south parking lot shall be 26 feet wide to accommodate two-way traffic and mm radiuses expanded to 20 feet for emergency vehicles. In addition, the grade of the driveway off Lake Drive West shall be reduced to 4.00% to accommodate fire tracks. The driveway access into the northerly parking from Commerce Drive is proposed at 26 feet wide. Given the fact that mostly track traffic will be using this access, staff recommends increasing the driveway opening to 28-30 feet wide. Boedecker Company July 21, 1999 Page 12 The northerly parking lot is a massive parking lot/truck turn around/loading area. Staff believes that more green space could be added along both sides of the loading docks to break up the sea of asphalt assuming that 3-4 parking stalls can sacrificed in the westerly row of parking. Access to both parking lots will involve removal of existing curb and/or sidewalk for the new driveways. The city also has buried conduit for the street lights. The applicant will be responsible for relocation of any street lights in conflict with the driveway accesses. Both driveway accesses will need to install industrial driveway aprons in accordance with the City's Industrial Driveway Detail Plate No. 5207. The applicant shall provide a security escrow to the city in the amount of $6,000.00 to guarantee street and boulevard restoration and driveway apron construction. EROSION CONTROL Rock construction entrances are proposed at both driveway access points. Erosion control fencing is proposed around the site in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. Additional silt fencing maybe required adjacent to any new berming on Lake Drive West/Audubon Road. LANDSCAPING Current vegetation on the site includes Alth~ugh ................... v ..... , city boulevard trees ~ along Audubon Road and along Lake Drive West and Commerce Drive planted by the developer. These trees are to remain on site, be incorporated into the applicant's proposed landscape plan, and replaced by the developer if they are damaged by construction. By ordinance, the applicant is required to provide parking lot landscaping and trees and buffer yard plantings along Audubon Rd., north property line and west property line. Specific quantities are listed in the table below. Vehicular use landscape area Trees/parking lot Lake Drive West boulevard trees (1 per 30 feet) Audubon Rd. buffer yard C - 30' width (*75% of total) North prop. line buffer yard B - 10' width (75% of total shown) Required 3,819 sq. ft. 15 overstory + 2 landscape islands 2 overstory 10 overstory trees 20 understory trees 20 shrubs 7 overstory trees 11 understory trees 18 shrubs Proposed >3,819 sq. fi. -14- 15 overstory + 2 landscape islands 0 2 overstory S 16 overstory trees 20 understory trees ;1¢¢ 41 shrubs 3 overstory trees -1-¢ 9 understory trees 6-7- 0 shrubs Boedecker Company July 21, 1999 Page 13 20' width 10 understory trees 4-0 5 understory trees (*75% of total shown) 16 shrubs 0 shrubs *According to city buffer yard ordinance, the project developer is responsible for only 75% of the required plantings. Abutting property owners may plant the remaining 25% on their property. According to the submitted landscape plan, the applicant does not meet minimum requirements for Lake r~;~,~ u~ ,.~,~ ..... ~ ~ ....... ~';~ ~ ~ .... north or west or buffer yard plantings. However, given the limited size of landscape area in those locations, the developer has made screening the loading area a priority and staff feels the proposed plan is satisfactory. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: (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 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: ao 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; Boedecker Company July 21, 1999 Page 14 Co 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 do 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. Finding: The proposed development is consistent with the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, howe-v~, does ,not meet the design guidelines established as part of the Chanhassen Business Center PUD. ~"~*: ........... ;~ PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE On July 21, 1999, the Planning Commission reviewed and tabled action on this application.

The fin'st floor elevation will be approximately the same elevation as Audubon Road and Lake Drive West. The existing earth berm along Audubon Road will remain. The plans propose to construct a two to five foot high retaining wall along a portion of the berm for the south parking lot and building. Retaining walls in excess of 4 feet in height requires to be engineered. The top of the existing berm is approximately two to five feet higher than the first floor elevation of the building. Additional berming should be required in the southeast corner of the south parking lot to help screen the parking area in front of the building from Lake Drive West and Audubon Road. Currently, no berms exist nor are any proposed. A storm sewer system is proposed to convey stormwater runoff from the site into an existing storm drainage system in Commerce Drive. The proposed storm sewer system is also assumed to address the roof runoff from the building. The comprehensive drainage plan/system for this subdivision was designed to accommodate drainage from this lot. The runoff is conveyed via storm sewer to a downstream regional stormwater pond for pretreatment prior to discharging off site. No additional storm water ponding improvements are necessary with this project. Detailed storm drainage calculations using the rational method shall be submitted for city review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. The drainage calculations shall verify adequate catch basins are being proposed to accommodate parking lot and building runoff. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water service is available to the site from Commerce Drive. A sewer service is also available from Lake Drive West, however no water service. The e City ofChanhassen. A growh~$( community, with clean lakes, quality, schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, and beautifulparks. A great place to live, work, and play. Sharmin A1-Jaff July 14, 1999 Page 2 plans propose to extend a water service from Lake Drive West by open cutting the street. This will not be permitted. The plans shall be revised to extend water service around the building from Commerce Drive. All the utilities are proposed to be installed privately. Upon completion the utility and street improvements they will be owned and maintained by the property owner and not the city. The appropriate building permits and inspections will be required for extension of the utilities into the site from the City's Building Department. All utility improvements shall be installed in accordance with the City's latest edition of standard specifications and detail plates and/or state of Minnesota plumbing codes. PARKING LOT & CIRCULATION Drive aisles range between 24 and 26 feet wide which are in accordance with city codes. The driveway access to the south parking lot shall be 26 feet wide to accommodate two-way traffic and turn radiuses expanded to 20 feet for emergency vehicles. In addition the grade of the driveway off Lake Drive West shall be reduced to 4.00% to accommodate fire trucks. The driveway access into the northerly parking from Commerce Drive is proposed at 26 feet wide. Given that the fact that mostly truck traffic will be using this access staff recommends increasing the driveway opening to 28-30 feet wide.. The northerly parking lot is a massive parking lot/truck turn around/loading area. Staff believes that more green space could be added along both sides of the loading docks to break up the sea of asphalt assuming that 3-4 parking stalls can sacrificed in the westerly row of parking. Access to both parking lots will involve removal of existing curb and/or sidewalk for the new driveways. The city also has buried conduit for the street lights. The applicant will be responsible for relocation of any street lights in conflict with the driveway accesses. Both driveway accesses will need to install industrial driveway aprons in accordance with the City's Industrial Driveway Detail Plate No. 5207. The applicant shall provide a security escrow to the city in the amount of $6,000.00 to guarantee street and boulevard restoration and driveway apron construction. EROSION CONTROL Rock construction entrances are proposed at both driveway access points. Erosion control fencing is proposed around the site in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. Additional silt fencing maybe required adjacent to any new berming on Lake Drive West/Audubon Road. Sharmin A1-Jaff July 14, 1999 Page 3 RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. Rock construction entrances shah be installed and maintained at all access points until the Class 5 gravel has been installed. Drive aisles in the southerly parking lot shah be increased to 26 feet, face-m-face wide. The drive aisle access from Commerce Drive shall be reduced from 36 feet wide to 30 feet wide, face-to-face. The applicant shall construct an industrial driveway apron at the Commerce Drive access point in accordance with City Detail Plate No. 5207. The applicant shall supply the City with detailed stormwater calculations for a 10- year, 24-hour storm event using the rational method for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. 4. The applicant shall incorporate more green space in the northerly parking lot adjacent the building between loading docks. 5. Additional berming shall be constructed in the southeast comer of the south parking lot to screen the parking from Lake Drive West and Audubon Road. Upon completion the utility and street improvements, they will be owned and maintained by the property owner and not the city. The appropriate building permits and inspections will be required for extension of the utilities into the site from the City's Building Department. All utility improvements shall be installed in accordance with the City's latest edition of standard specifications and detail plates and/or state of Minnesota plumbing codes. The driveway access to the south parking lot from Lake Drive West shall be a minimum of 26 feet wide to accommodate two-way traffic and the radiuses expanded to 20 feet for emergency vehicles. In addition, the grade of the driveway at Lake Drive West shall be reduced to 4.00% to accommodate fire tracks. The driveway access width at Commerce Drive shall be increased to 28-30 feet wide. Both driveway accesses will need to install industrial driveway aprons in accordance with the City's Industrial Driveway Detail Plate No. 5207.
