Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. Staff is recommending approval of the request. LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: The City's discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the proposed project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements. If it meets these standards, the City must then approve the site plan. This is a quasi-judicial decision. Century Plaza Building "C" Planning Case No. 04-25 August 3, 2004 Page 2 PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The applicant is requesting site plan approval for the construction of a 15,000 square foot building housing three office spaces and retail. The site, with an area of 1.9 acres, is located north of Highway 5, east of Century Boulevard and south of West 78th Street. Access to the site is via a full access curb cut off of West 78th Street and a right in/out off of Century Boulevard. The site is zoned Planned Unit Development- Neighborhood Commercial. :ri Subject Property Hwy 5 Arboretum Boulevard Street Coulter BQCeVaf~ The building is well designed. The main exterior material is brick. Accents are provided through the use of Cement Board Panel, a staggered roofline, recessed walls, windows, and a pronounced canopy at the entrance of the building. The main entry doors into the building will be used as service doors. Parking for vehicles is mainly located north of the building and is hidden from views from Highway 5. Staff has been working with the applicant for several months. They have been very cooperative and have implemented staff's recommendations into the plans. Topics of discussion included Century Plaza Building "C" Planning Case No. 04-25 August 3, 2004 Page 3 parking, materials, design standards, standards associated with this specific development, and protecting the residential neighborhoods to the north. A pedestrian trail runs on the north side of West 78th Street and east side of Century Boulevard. Sidewalks are introduced to this site and connect with the existing sidewalk system on neighboring properties and onto the City's trail system. The current hard surface coverage is 57.7%. The PUD allows up to 70% hard surface coverage. One trash enclosure is shown for the building, located along the west side of the parking lot. The enclosure shall be built of materials matching the buildings. Staff is also recommending the applicant provide additional detail on the trash enclosure for Building "C". The Planning Commission directed the applicant to add additional landscaping along the west property line. The applicant complied with this request by revising the landscape plan and increasing the landscaping. This addition separates the patio area from the carwash and provides a more pleasant atmosphere. Offices and restaurants are permitted in this PUD. The only limitation is that no single user may occupy more than 5,000 square feet. In this case, three branches will occupy this building (mortgage, realty and title) for a total of 12,000 square feet while the retail portion occupies 3,000 square feet. Staff regards the project as a well designed development. The overall design is sensitive to the Highway 5 corridor's image. Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending approval of the site plan with conditions outlined in the staff report. BACKGROUND On August 26, 2002, the Chanhassen City Council approved the final plat for Vasserman Ridge (Phase I), a portion of the site creating 22 lots including 20 twin-home lots and 2 single-family lots. The plat included ten lots in Block 1, twelve lots in Block 2, one lot in Block 3 (association park), one lot in Block 4 (commercial site) and three outlots. Outlots A through C were for entrance monuments and Outlot D was the remainder of the development to be platted at a future date. On July 28, 2003, the Chanhassen City Council approved a Planned Unit Development Amendment to expand standards for the commercial portion of Vasserman Ridge. The City Council also approved a site plan for the construction of a multi-tenant building with an area of 7,200 square feet. The building was never built and the applicant submitted a new building design and layout for the site. The current proposal is the commercial portion (Lot 1, Block 4, Vasserman Ridge) of the Planned Unit Development. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE Building "C" is proposed to house multi tenants with a total area of 15,000 square feet. The main material on the building is brick. Windows, doors and design articulation are shown on all four sides of the building. Century Plaza Building "C" Planning Case No. 04-25 August 3, 2004 Page 4 The site is visible directly from Highway 5 and has full access from West 78th Street. The site plan is reasonably well developed. The building is proposed to utilize two shades of brick as the main material. Accents are provided through the use of cement board panel, a staggered roofline, recessed walls, awnings, windows, and pronounced canopy at the entrance of the building (samples of the materials will be provided at the meeting). Parking for vehicles is located within the north portion of the site. The parking is screened by the building and the use of landscaping. COMPLIANCE TABLE Setback Required Minimum Proposed From Collector Street 50 feet 52.2 feet From Exterior Lot Lines 30 feet 38.7 feet Interior Public Right-of-Way 30 feet N/A Hard Surface Commercial 70% 57.7% Parking Setback if screening is 10 feet 5 feet* provided * The parking lot does not meet the required setback along the northeast comer. Staff attached a condition that the applicant revises the plans to maintain a minimum of 10 feet parking setback along the northeast comer. ARCHITECTURAL COMPLIANCE Size, Portion and Placement Entries: The building has a pronounced entrance. Articulation: The building incorporates adequate detail and has been designed very tastefully. The architectural style is unique to the building but will fit in with the surrounding area. The building will provide a variation in style through the use of brick, cement board panel, glass, and canopies. Glass is used for service doors giving the building an elegant look. None of the elevations appear as a service area. The building utilizes exterior materials that are durable and of high quality. Samples of the materials as well as a rendering will be available at the meeting. Lighting: A parking lot light plan is required. The plan should incorporate the light style and height. Signs: A detailed sign plan which includes the lighting method will also be required. Individual channeled letters with the option of back lighting are permitted. Century Plaza Building "C" Planning Case No. 04-25 August 3, 2004 Page 5 Material and detail High quality materials - accent material may occupy up to 15 percent of the buildings faqade. The building will utilize brick as the main material. Cement board panel is an accent material although it is permitted as a main building material. Rock face block is used along the lower portion of the buildings. Color The colors chosen for the building are earth tones. The selection is unique but blends in with the surrounding buildings. Height and Roof Design The building falls within the Highway 5 Corridor District which limits the height of the buildings to 3 stories or 40 feet. The building is proposed not to exceed 33.4 feet at the top of the pitched roof element. The roofline is staggered adding articulation to the design of the building. All roof top equipment must be screened from views. The ordinance requires a pitched element on buildings. This can be achieved through roof design or awnings. The building complies with this requirement. Facade Transparency All facades viewed by the public contain more than 50 percent windows and/or doors. Site Furnishing The applicant has provided an outdoor seating area for the retail space as well as benches and a planter for the office space. Loading Areas~ Refuse Areas~ etc. The applicant is proposing to utilize the main entry doors for service purposes. The trash enclosure is located along the west portion of the parking lot. Recycling space and other solid waste collection space should be contained within the same enclosure. Landscaping The site is fairly level. The landscaping plan will provide a variety of plant materials that are massed where possible. The berms and landscaping materials will be continuous along the north and south perimeters of the site. The plant materials are repetitious in some locations and Century Plaza Building "C" Planning Case No. 04-25 August 3, 2004 Page 6 variable in others. A curb is required along the perimeter of the green space area. All planting areas are adequate in size to allow trees to grow. Lot Frontage and Parking Location The site is located within the Highway 5 Corridor District. The ordinance allows one row of parking within the required front yard. The plans show all parking located north of the building and as far as possible from Highway 5. The applicant has made an effort to screen the parking from West 78th Street. RESTRICTION ON MATERIALS Another issue associated with this site is a restriction on type of materials used on the buildings. They are as follows: Building Materials and Design COMMERCIAL 1. All materials shall be of high quality and durable. Brick shall be used as the principal material and must be approved to assure uniformity with the residential uses. 2. Metal standing seam siding will not be approved except as support material to one of the above materials. 3. All accessory structures shall be designed to be compatible with the primary structure. 4. All roof-mounted equipment shall be screened by pitched roofs. Wood screen fences are prohibited. Screening shall consist of compatible materials. 5. All buildings on the commercial site shall have a pitched roof line. 6. All mechanical equipment shall be screened with material compatible to the building. The applicant is utilizing brick as the main material on the building. A rock face sill band appears below the windows. This is in keeping with the intent of the PUD agreement. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: 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; Century Plaza Building "C" Planning Case No. 04-25 August 3, 2004 Page 7 (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; C° Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and neighboring structures and uses; and 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 City's Highway 5 corridor design requirements, the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, the design standards, and the site plan review requirements. The site design is compatible with the surrounding developments. It is functional and harmonious with the approved development for this area. Staff regards the project as a reasonable use of the land. The overall design is sensitive to the Highway 5 corridor's image. Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending approval of the site plan with conditions outlined in the staff report. GRADING, DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL The site was previously rough graded as part of the Vasserman Ridge and Arboretum Shopping Center developments. The current plans show a building with a proposed finished floor elevation of 979.5. The site is designed to drain away from the building to proposed catch basins. These catch basins will connect to an existing storm sewer system which drains to an existing regional pond just east of the parcel. The regional pond has been previously sized to Century Plaza Building "C" Planning Case No. 04-25 August 3, 2004 Page 8 accommodate drainage from this site. No additional ponding improvements are necessary. Storm sewer sizing calculations have been submitted for staff review and only minor changes are needed prior to building permit approval. Berms are proposed on the north side of the site along West 78th Street. Staff is recommending that a 15-foot wide clear zone be maintained in back of the curb along West 78th Street for snow storage and sight distance. The slope within the clear zone will be limited to a maximum of 2%. Likewise, on the east comer of the private driveway's intersection with West 78th Street, the proposed berm's slope must not exceed 2% within the 60-foot sight triangle of the intersection. The sight triangle can be found by measuring back 60-feet on each curb line from the intersected street. A retaining wall, ranging in height from 1- to 8-feet, is proposed along the east side of the site. Due to its height, this wall must be designed by a registered structural engineer and a permit from the Building Department must be obtained for its construction. An approved safety fence will also be required along the top of the wall. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property owner Erosion control measures and site restoration must be developed in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Silt fence and a rock construction entrance have been shown on the plans. Erosion control blanket must be installed on all slopes greater than or equal to 3:1. All exposed soil areas must have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover year round, according to the following table of slopes and time frames: Type of Slope Time Steeper than 3:1 7 days 10:1 to 3:1 14 days Flatter than 10:1 21 days (Maximum time an area can remain open when the area is not actively being worked.) These areas include constructed storm water management pond side slopes, and any exposed soil areas with a positive slope to a storm water conveyance system, such as a curb and gutter system, storm sewer inlet, temporary or permanent drainage ditch or other natural or man made systems that discharge to a surface water. Street cleaning of soil tracked onto public streets shall include daily street scraping and street sweeping as-needed. Other Agencies The applicant should apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies (e.g., Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (for dewatering)) and comply with their conditions of approval. Century Pla~a Building "C" Planning Case No. 04-25 August 3, 2004 Page 9 UTILITIES Municipal sanitary sewer and water is available to the site from the existing private drive on the northwesterly side. The applicant is proposing to connect to existing sewer and water stubs and extend private services to the proposed building. The underlying property has been previously assessed for sewer, water and street improvements and those assessments have been paid. However, the sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will be applicable for the lot. The 2004 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 for sanitary sewer and $2,814 for water-main. Sanitary sewer and water-main hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance and are based on the number of SAC units for the new building addition. The applicant is responsible for obtaining permits from the appropriate regulatory agency including, but not limited to the: Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District, MnDOT, and the MPCA. STREETS/ACCESS No public streets are proposed with this project. Full site access will be gained through the existing private driveway on the northwesterly side of the site. The private drive then connects with West 78th Street on the north side of the parcel. The applicant should be aware that the required width of parking stalls per City Code is 9-feet. The plans must be revised to comply with the parking stall width. Pedestrian access is provided via a sidewalk connecting this site to the property to the west which connects to the trail system on Century Boulevard. Additionally, a pedestrian is proposed across West 78th Street at the entrance to the site. PARKING TABULATIONS The city's parking ordinance requires: · 4.5 parking space for each 1,000 square feet of office space. · One parking space for each 200 square feet of retail space. Based upon the above listed requirements, the office portion will require 54 spaces while the retail will require 15 spaces for a total of 69 parking spaces. The applicant is provided 71 spaces. LANDSCAPING Minimum requirements for landscaping include 2,651 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the parking lot, 11 trees for the parking lot, and bufferyard plantings along Highway 5 and W. 78th Street.
