The site is located on proposed Lot 3, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition and has an area of 3.99 acres. It is zoned IOP, Industrial Office Park, and is bordered by Lake Drive West to the south and east and vacant industrial sites to the north and west. Access to the site is gained via two driveways of off future Lake Drive West. The westerly driveway is also shared with lots 1 and 2, and is proposed to provide future access to the Stockdale property located north of lots I and 2. (Access to the site via Lake Drive West is subject to the project being ordered by the City Council. Building permits will not be issued until the road is completed.) The building is designed in a "U" shape to hide the loading docks from views. The docks are located in the center of the "U". The applicant is proposing to utilize pre-colored (light gray) rockface block as the main material on the building. Windows and accent ribbons of dark gray rap around all four sides of the building. The walls along the east and west side of the loading docks are not shown on the plans. Staff is assuming that the same materials and architectural treatment will be carried on through these walls. The design of the building provides variation in form through stepped back elevations along the south and east. The overall design provides variation and detail on the facade of the building. Parking will be scattered around the building. Screening of the parking lot can be improved by incorporating a meandering berm with landscaping, 3 to 4 feet in height along the perimeter of the site. Parking lot landscaping exceeds ordinance requirements, however, the buffer portion is deficient. Site landscaping must be increased to meet minimum ordinance requirements. -T-he · ,~,.,T;~.o-, ;o oh .... ;.,~..~ c,.^, ~T.; ....,~. ~.. ~ ~.~ ~.,~ xxr~ The ordinance requires a 30 foot ~1. ~ ~ ....... ~ ~ ..... ;o~ ,~ ~ev~t a ~ fo ............. v ............................. ct front yard parking setback. A parking lot light plan is required. The plan should incorporate the light style, height, and photo-metrics. Also, a detailed sign plan which include lighting method has to be submitted. The site plan fails to show the trash enclosure location. The dumpsters must be screened by a wing-wall and doors with siding and trim to match the building. Rooftop equipment and mechanical equipment are not shown on the plans. All equipment must be screened from views. In summary, with the incorporation of staff recommendations the proposed site plan application would meet ordinance requirements, and staff is recommending approval with conditions outlined in the staff report. Eden Trace Corporation Lot 3, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition June 14, 1999 Page 3 BACKGROUND On April 12, 1999, the City Council approved a Resolution Declaring No Need for an Environmental Impact Statement for the Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition Project, Subdivision 99-1 preliminary plat to replat Outlot D into 10 lots, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition, and wetland alteration permit to fill 1.23 acres, provide 1.62 acres of in kind mitigation and 1.89 public value credits, as shown on the plans dated received January 26, 1999, subject to conditions. The final plat is scheduled to appear before the City Council on May 24, 1999. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The proposed office/warehouse building, with an area of 48,565 square feet, will be situated parallel to and northwest of Future Lake Drive West. The site is bordered by Lake Drive West to the south and east, and vacant industrial sites to the north and west. The site located south of future Lake Drive West is zoned PUD-R and is occupied by a park. Access to the building is proposed from future Lake Drive West. Parking will be scattered around the building. Screening of the parking lot can be improved by incorporating a meandering berm with landscaping, 3 to 4 feet in height along the perimeter of the site. Materials used on the "U" shaped building, are pre-colored rock face block on all four elevations. Entrances into the building are projecting glass boxes framed in aluminum. Decorative pre- colored rockface block bands are integrated into the walls on all four elevations. The south and east elevation are stepped out combined with the different colors and materials give the building the desired visual appeal. The "U" shaped building is designed to screen the loading docks from views by locating the loading area in the center of the "U". The east and west walls on either side of the loading area are not shown on the "EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS" plan. The same architectural treatment is required on these walls. The site plan fails to show the trash enclosure location. The dumpsters must be screened by a wing-wall and doors with siding and trim to match the building. Current state statutes require that recycling space be provided for all new buildings. The area of the recycling space must be dedicated at the rate specified in Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) 1300.4700 Subp. 5. The applicant should demonstrate the required area will be provided in addition to the space required for other solid waste collection space. Recycling space and other solid waste collection space should be contained within the same enclosure. Rooftop equipment and mechanical equipment are not shown on the plans. All equipment must be screened from views. Eden Trace Corporation Lot3, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition June 14, 1999 Page 4 The building is located 73 feet from the north, 97 feet from the east and south, and 79 feet from the westerly property line. The ordinance requires a 30 foot parking setback along Lake Drive 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 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: 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; 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. Eden Trace Corporation Lot 3, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition June 14, 1999 Page 5 (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 City's comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, and the site plan review requirements. The site design is compatible with the surrounding development. It is functional and harmonious with the approved development for this area. WETLANDS There are no wetlands on this lot, however, the proposed stormwater pond is included in the overall drainage and wetland mitigation plan. the development of this site must be consistent with the approved Wetland Alteration Permit (WAP 99-1). GRADING The preliminary plat for Chanhassen Lakes Business Park (CLBP) 7th Addition was approved by the City Council on April 12, 1999. Final plat and construction plan approval is tentatively scheduled for the May 24, 1999 City Council meeting. In conjunction with the platting (CLBP 7th), the developer will rough grade all the building sites and streets in the development and install the public utilities and street improvements in Marshland Circle. The City will extend utility service from Lake Drive West to the property line and construct Lake Drive West. Only minor grading is anticipated on the lots after the project has been initially graded by the developer. Since the final construction plans have not been approved, there may be minor adjustments of the grades and/or utility connection points on this site. The preliminary grading plans for this plat proposed some berming along the north side of Lake Drive West adjacent to this lot. Due to parking lot and street grades, berming will be limited. The site plans should be revised to incorporate berms along Lake Drive West as shown on the preliminary plans to provide the required screening. The berming will not require modifications to the proposed parking or building improvements as shown on the plans. Erosion control fencing appears to be omitted on the plans. Erosion control fencing will be required proposed around the downstream side of the grading limits. Additional erosion control fence will be required along the north property line adjacent the pond. The plans shall incorporate erosion control measures prior to issuance of a building permit. Rock construction entrances are also proposed. Eden Trace Corporation Lot 3, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition June 14, 1999 Page 6 DRAINAGE Stormwater runoff from the parking lot will be conveyed via storm sewers into a regional stormwater pond north of the site for pretreatment. The storm sewer system on the site will be constructed by the developer and owned and maintained by the developer upon completion. Since the storm drainage system will be constructed to serve more than one lot a cross-access agreement should be prepared for the joint use of the system. Detailed storm drainage calculations will be required to determine if there are sufficient catch basins being provided to convey surface water runoff to the pond. The drainage calculations shall be for a 1 O-year, 24-hour storm event and be submitted to the City for review and approval at time of building permit application: UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water is not available to the site at this time. The developer has petitioned the city to construct the infrastructure and Lake Drive West (Project No. 98-16) later this summer. The developer will be responsible for extending the utility and street improvements on the site. The city's project will extend an 8-inch sewer line from Lake Drive West to the property line. Water service is proposed to be extended from Lake Drive West to provide service to Lots 1, 2 and 3. Since the water line will be serving more than one lot a cross-access agreement which addresses maintenance responsibility shall be prepared by the applicant and recorded against the benefited lots. Installation of the private utilities throughout the site (i.e. storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water) will require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. The location of the fire hydrants may change after review of the final construction plans for Lake Drive West. STREETS Lake Drive West is proposed to be constructed this year by the City. An 8-foot wide trail will be constructed along the north side of Lake Drive West adjacent this site. Lake Drive West and Audubon Road are classified as Class I collector streets in the City's Comprehensive Transportation Plan. They are both designated as Municipal State Aid Routes. Lake Drive West is being constructed to Municipal State Aid standards which prohibits parking along one side. Typically, with Class I collector routes, the City prohibits parking on both sides of the street. However, given the park location, staff/City Council may revisit the parking situation in the future. Parking is also prohibited along Audubon Road. The plans propose two driveway accesses from Lake Drive West. The westerly driveway access will be shared by Lots 1 and 2. Both driveway access points have a grade in excess of 4.0%. These grades will need to be reduced to a maximum of 4.0% to accommodate fire trucks. Lots 1 Eden Trace Corporation Lot 3, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition June 14, 1999 Page 7 and 2 will also have access to Lake Drive West through Lot 3. The drive aisle width and parking stalls appear to be designed in accordance with the City's ordinance. However, there are a couple of curb radii that need to be increased to accommodate turning movements of fire trucks. Staff will work with the applicant to revise them before issuance of a building permit. An industrial driveway apron with pedestrian ramps will be required with construction of driveway access points along Lake Drive West. Staff reviewed the access needs for the Stockdale parcel which is located north of the site on Audubon Road. In conjunction with platting CLBP 7th the developer is required to provide an ingress/egress easement over Lots 2 and 3, Block 1 as a secondary access for the Stockdale parcel out to Lake Drive West to eliminate the need for additional access points along Audubon Road. A cross-access easement will need to be prepared and recorded by the applicant in favor of the property owner to the north (Stockdale). MISCELLANEOUS Site plan approval should include provisions for staffto administratively approve minor changes to the site plan resulting from the final plat approval for Chanhassen Lake Business Park 7th Addition and the City's Lake Drive West Public Improvement No. 98-16. Changes may include elevations, landscaping, and utility connection points. Issuance of building permits within the plat should be a topic for discussion. The City requires that each site have a paved street access (7-ton design) prior to issuance of a building permit. In addition, the utility improvements designated to service the site will need to be installed, tested, and accepted by the City prior to issuance of a building permit. The City in the past has typically issued one building permit adjacent to a hard surfaced street to each subdivision. There have also been situations in the past where the City issued up to four residential building permits as long as they were easily accessed from a paved street (within 150 feet) and the City's fire marshal's concerns were addressed. Given the timetable of this development (CLBP 7th Addition) and the City's improvement project for Lake Drive West, it is doubtful that the required utility and street improvements will be completed prior to mid-November of 1999. Therefore, building permits other than one off Audubon Road will not be issued until sometime in November, 1999. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP) The Chanhassen Lakes Business Parks 7th Addition development was required to construct water quality ponds and pay fees associated with the management of storm water in accordance with the City's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP). These fees are determined when the final grading and utility plans are submitted with each phase of the project. The fees are due at the time of final platting. Eden Trace Corporation Lot 3, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition June 14, 1999 Page 8 LANDSCAPING Minimum requirements for landscaping include 5,730 sq. fi. of landscaped area around the parking lot, 23 trees for the parking lot, and buffer yard plantings along Lake Drive, as well as neighboring property lines.

The applicant is short plantings for the buffer yard areas. Staff recommends the applicant increase plantings in order to meet ordinance requirements. LIGHTING Lighting locations have not been illustrated on the plans. Only shielded fixtures are allowed as required by ordinance. A detailed lighting plan should be submitted. Street lights consistent with Lake Drive East and West will be at 200 feet intervals, staggered from one side to the other. SIGNAGE The applicant has not submitted a signage plan. One ground Iow profile business sign is permitted per lot. The area of the sign may not exceed 80 square feet and a height of 8 feet. Also, one wall mounted sign per business shall be permitted per street frontage. The total display area shall not exceed 15% of the total area of the building wall upon which the signs are Eden Trace Corporation Lot 3, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition June 14, 1999 Page 9 mounted. No sign may exceed 90 square feet. Staff is recommending the following criteria be adopted: All businesses shall share one monument sign per lot. Monument signage shall be subject to the monument standards in the sign ordinance. 2. Wall signs are permitted on no more that 2 street frontages. 3. All signs require a separate permit. The signage will have consistency throughout the development and add an architectural accent to the building. 5. ConsiStency in signage shall relate to color, size, materials, and heights. No illuminated signs within the development may be viewed from the residential section south of the site. 7. Back-lit individual letter signs are permitted. o Only the name and logo of the business occupying the unit will be permitted on the sign. The applicant must obtain a sign permit prior to erecting the signs on site. One stop sign must be posted on the driveway at the exit point of both sites. A detailed sign plan incorporating the method of lighting, acceptable to staff should be provided prior to requesting a building permit. PARKING The city's parking ordinance requires 4.5 parking stalls per 1,000 square feet of office (54 stalls) and one stall per square feet of warehouse area (37 stalls). The total parking spaces required by ordinance are 91. The applicant is providing 124 spaces. The applicant is also showing 34 future parking spaces. The applicant need to be aware that the hard surface coverage of the site is at 69%. The ordinance allows a maximum of 70% coverage. Adding these spaces will cause the site to exceed the minimum hard surface coverage requirements of the ordinance which will require a variance. Staff will recommend against such variance since we do not perceive a hardship. The future parking spaces must be eliminated from the plan.

PARK AND TRAIL The Comprehensive Park Plan identifies this site as lying within the park service areas of Lake Susan Park and Sunset Ridge Park. Sunset Ridge Park is situated across the street frOm this site. The Comprehensive Trail Plan identifies an east/west connecting link along Lake Drive. On other sections of Lake Drive, this walkway/trail is constructed as a concrete sidewalk. This section of walkway will be developed as a component of the new section of Lake Drive. The Park & Recreation Commission recommended the city require payment of full park and trail dedication fees for Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition.

Final plat and construction plan approval is tentatively scheduled for the May 24, 1999 City Council meeting. In conjunction with the platting (CLBP 7th), the developer will rough grade all the building sites and streets in the development and install the public utilities and street improvements in Marshland Circle. The City will extend utility service from Lake Drive West to the property line and construct Lake Drive West. Only minor grading is anticipated on the lots after the project has been initially graded by the developer. Since the final construction plans have not been 'approved, there may be minor adjustments of the grades and/or utility connection points on this site.. The preliminary grading plans for this plat proposed some berming along the north side of Lake Drive West adjacent to this lot. Due to parking lot and street grades, berming will be limited. The site plans should be revised to incorporate berms along Lake Drive West as shown on the preliminary plans to provide, the required screening. The berming will not require modifications to the proposed parking or building improvements as shown on the plans. Erosion control fencing appears to be omitted on the plans. Erosion control fencing will be required proposed around the downstream side of the grading limits. Additional erosion control fence will be required along the north property line adjacent the pond. The plans shall incorporate erosion control measures prior to issuance of a building permit. Rock construction entrances are also proposed. DRAINAGE Stormwater runoff from the parking lot will be conveyed via storm sewers into a regional stormwater pond north of the site for pretreatment. The storm sewer system on the site will be constructed by the developer and owned and maintained by the developer upon completion. Since the storm drainage system will be constructed to serve more than one lot a cross-access agreement should be prepared for the joint use of the system. Sharmin A1-Jaff Lot 3, Block 1, CLBP 7t~ May 11, 1999 Page 2 Detailed storm drainage calculations will be required to determine if there are sufficient catch basins being provided to convey surface water runoff to the pond. The drainage calculations shall be for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event and be submitted to the City for review and approval at time of building permit application. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water is not available to the site at this time. The developer has petitioned the City to construct the infrastructure and Lake Drive West (Project No. 98-16) later this summer. The developer will be responsible for extending the utility and street improvements on the site. The City's project will extend an 8-inch sewer line from Lake Drive West to the property line. Water service is proposed to be extended from Lake Drive West to provide service to Lots 1, 2 and 3. Since the water line will be serving more than one lot a cross- access agreement which addresses maintenance responsibility shall be prepared by the applicant and recorded against the benefited lots. Installation of the private utilities throughout the site (i.e. storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water) will require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. The location of the fire hydrants may change after review of the final construction plans for Lake Drive West. STREETS Lake Drive West is proposed to be constructed this year by the City. An 8-fool[:.~ wide trail will be constructed along the north side of Lake Drive West adjacent~this site. Lake Drive West and Audubon Road are classified as Class I collector streets in the City's Comprehensive Transportation Plan. They are both designated as Municipal State Aid Routes. Lake Drive West is being constructed to Municipal State Aid standards which prohibits parking along one side. Typically, with Class I collector routes, the City prohibits parking on both sides of the street. However, given the park location, staff/City Council may revisit the parking situation in the future. Parking is also prohibited along Audubon Road. The plans propose two driveway accessexs from~ Lake Drive West. The westerly driveway access will be shared by Lots~l~and,~' Both driveway access points have a grade in excess of 4.0%. These grades will need to be reduced to a maximum of 4.0% to accommodate fire trucks. Lots 1 and 2 will also have access to Lake Drive West through Lot 3. The drive aisle width and parking stalls appear to be designed in accordance with the City's ordinance. However, there are a couple of curb radii that need to be increased to accommodate turning movements of fire Sharmin A1-Jaff Lot 3, Block 1, CLBP 7th May 11, 1999 Page 3 tracks. Staff will work with the applicant to revise them before issuance of a building permit. An industrial driveway apron with pedestrian ramps will be required with construction of driveway access points along Lake Drive West. Staff reviewed the access needs for the Stockdale parcel which is located north of the site on Audubon Road. In conjuction with platting CLBP 7th the developer is required to provide an ingress/egress easement over Lots 2 and 3, Block 1 as a secondary access for the Stockdale parcel out to Lake Drive West to eliminate the need for additional access points along Audubon Road. 'A cross-access easement will need to be prepared and recorded by the applicant in favor of the property owner to the north (Stockdale). MISCELLANEOUS Site plan approval should include provisions for staff to administratively approve minor changes to the site plan resulting from the final plat approval for Chanhassen Lake Business Park 7t~ Addition and the City's Lake Drive West Public Improvement No. 98-16. Changes may include elevations, landscaping, and utility connection points. Issuance of building permits within the plat should be a topic for discussion. The City requires that each site have a paved street access (7-ton design) prior to issuance of a building permit. In addition, the utility improvements designated to service the site will need to be installed, tested, and accepted by the City prior to issuance of a building permit. The City in the past has typically issued one building permit adjacent to a hard surfaced street to each subdivision. There have also been situations in the past where the City issued up to four residential building permits as long as they were easily accessed from a paved street (within 150 feet) and the City's f'ne marshal's concerns were addressed. Given the timetable of this development (CLBP 7th Addition) and the City's improvement project for Lake Drive West, it is doubtful that the required utility and street improvements will be completed prior to mid-November of 1999. Therefore, building permits other than one off Audubon Road will not be issued until sometime in November, 1999. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Final grading shall incorporate berming along Lake Drive West outside of the City's right-of-way. No berming is permitted within the City's right-of-way. Landscaping improvements may be permitted subject to staff review and approval. Sharmin A1-Jaff Lot 3, Block 1, CLBP 7t~ May 11, 1999 Page 4 2. The applicant shall work with staff in revising curb radii on the plans to accommodate fire apparatus vehicles. o A cross-access agreement for parking and utilities purposes which also addresses maintenance responsibilities and scheduling shall be prepared by the applicant and recorded against the benefited lots (1, 2 and 3, Block 1). In addition, a cross-access agreement for driveway purposes shall be granted to the parcel north of the site (Stockdale) over Lots 2 and 3, Block 1 to gain access to Lake Drive West. o Detailed storm drainage calculations for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. 5. Installation of the public utilities throughout the site will require building permits through the City's Building Department. o All driveway access points along Lake Drive West shall incorporate an industrial driveway apron and pedestrian ramps in accordance with the City details and pedestrian ramps. The applicant will need to provide financial security in the amount of $2,500 to guarantee installation of the driveway aprons, boulevard restoration, and erosion control measures. Security may be in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow which will be returned upon satisfactorily completing the project. All areas disturbed as a result of construction activities shall be immediately restored with seed and disc mulch or wood fiber blanket or sod in accordance with the approved plans within two weeks the completion of each activity in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. All utility street improvements shall be construction in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. The plans shall be revised to provide individual sewer services to each lot from the property line and lower driveway grade at entrance off Lake Drive West to 4.0% or less. 10. All private streets/driveways shall be constructed to support a minimum of 7- ton per axle design weight in accordance with City Code 20-1118. 11. The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agency, i.e. Watershed District. Sharmin A1-Jaff Lot 3, Block 1, CLBP 7t~ May 11, 1999 Page 5 12. The final grading plan shall incorporate erosion control measures around the downstream side of the grading limits and adjacent the pond. 13. Site plan approval shall be contingent upon final platting of Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition. 14. The lowest floor or opening elevation of the building shall be a minimum of two feet above the flood elevation, the adjacent wetland or stormwater ponding area. c: Anita Benson, City Engineer g:~ng"davc'xpcqot 3 clbp 7th.doc CITYOF CHAN EN 690 City Center Drive, PO Box 147 Chanhassen, Minnesota 55317 Phone 612.937.1900 Oe,eral Fax 612.937.5739 Engineering l ax 612.93Z9152 Public Safety Fax 612.934.2524 Web www. ci. chanhassen, mn. us MEMORANDUM TO: Sharmin Al-Jaff, Senior Planner FROM: Mark Littfin, Fire Marshal DATE: May I0, 1999 SUBJECT: Site plan review for a 48,565 square foot office/warehouse building to be located on Lot 3, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition on property zone IOP, Industrial Office Park, and east of Audubon Road, east of County Road 17, south of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Pacific Railroad tracks on Lake Drive West, Chan Lakes LLP, Eden Trace Corporation.

Sharmin AI-Jaff presented the staff report on this item. Peterson: Questions of staff. Blackowiak: Mr. Chairman, I have one question. Dave, you noted in the last report that the Lake Drive West extension probably wouldn't be done until November. So then are these buildings, Lot 3, Block 1 and one we'll be seeing here, Lot 4, are they going to be not started until after November then? Am I correct with that? Hempel: Mr. Chairman, commissioners. I've had conversations with the developer. That jumped out at his attention as well. What we discussed was interim access, separate road is you will that they're willing to build to gain access while Lake Drive West is being constructed. The major concern is from public safety to access the building and in this situation it's not a stick built, if you will like residential homes. It's more metal and bricks so the risk of fire is much' lower. So the main concern is the Fire Marshals and that will be addressed with interim access road from Audubon Road. Either paralleling or somewhere through the parking lots to gain construction access to these building sites. Blackowiak: So they will begin as soon as. Hempel.' Final plat has been recorded and the project authorized for Lake Drive West. Blackowiak: Okay, and you're comfortable with an interim road and? Hempel: I am engineering wise. It seemed like public safety was too. 24 Planning Commission Meeting - May 19, 1999 Blackowiak: Okay, thanks. Peterson: Other questions? Kind: I have one. This is the one that does get closer to the park, if I've got my bearings right. I'm curious, which side of Lake Drive is the sidewalk on? Is it going to be on the north or south side? North side? And so the business people will be able to use this sidewalk and if they want to access the park, will there be a crosswalk at that point or intersection with the parking lot or? Hempel: Correct. A crosswalk at about I believe where the access for the parking lot for the park is. On the radius of Lake Drive West there. Kind: And do you know if there's a speed limit set for this new Lake Drive? Hempel: The road is being designed for a 35 mph speed limit. Fairly typical for a collector road. Kind: That's all. Peterson: Other questions? Seeing none, would the applicant like to make a presentation? If so, please come forward. Mark Undestad: Again, the access is going to... Peterson: How many businesses do you foresee in this unit, just out of curiosity? Mark Undestad: In this building... Peterson: Thanks. Any questions of the applicant? Mark Undestad: ...pictures... Peterson: Other questions of the applicant before he sits down. Sidney: Mr. Chairman I guess, well Sharmin has the materials but could you describe the colors and the materials again. Mark Undestad: We're using, again we're trying to... These will be gray... Somewhat difficult with the colored blocks with the painted building... Peterson: May I have a motion and a second to open this for a public hearing. Blackowiak moved, Sidney seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened. 25 Planning Commission Meeting - May 19, 1999 Peterson: This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to address the commission, please come forward and state your name and address please. Kind of feel obligated, don't you? Stuart Brown: Stuart Brown, 1420 Heron Drive in Chanhassen. I'm just curious of all these trees, and I don't know which map I'm on now but. Aanenson: You're on a different project. Stuart Brown: ...many, many trees or little proposed trees. Is that part of the project or is this an city envisioned plan? I guess this is what provides the barrier. You know the park's over here. And the ballpark's over here. This is our barrier to the road I guess. So this is not part of their plan. Is that part of a City plan for these trees? Aanenson: Correct. Peterson: Dave, could you respond to that? Hempel: Certainly Mr. Chairman. That landscaping along the south of the road adjacent to the park is going to be installed with the city's street project, Lake Drive West. Stuart Brown: The things shown here, these are real... Aanenson: The other side is pretty representative: It's 1 tree-for every 30 feet so it's probably pretty representative. He's just calling and showing what he's responsible for: Stuart Brown: Gotch ya. And that's part of the Lake Drive, post November completion project. Okay. Just curious with that one. Thank you. Peterson.' A motion and a second to close the public hearing. Burton moved, Sidney seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Peterson: Comments from commissioners. Okay. Hearing no other comments, is there? Kind: I have one quick one. Peterson: Certainly. Kind: I just want to make sure that I'm clear on my architectural question. I was not inferring that I wanted more color or more wildness. I like the plainness of that. I think when some of the buildings get a little too carried away with color we're going to be able to tell that that was built in 1994 or whatever. Neutral is probably better in this case so I just wanted to make sure that you understood where I was going. Peterson.' Okay.
