The building sign area is backed by white EIFS. Windows are proposed adjacent to the entrance and in the southeast corner of the building. Spandrel glass is proposed along the south building elevation. Above the windows and entrances, a red metal canopy will be incorporated. Though not specifically shown, staff believes that the building mechanical equipment is below the top of the parapet and will not be visible from the public right-of-way. PROPOSAL/SUMMARY This site serves as a gateway for people entering the central business district from the west. As such, its aesthetic and architectural features are an important component of the image the city wants to create for the downtown. This corner serves as one of four significant corners in the downtown area, and it is important that an anchor for the development be of a high quality, and have an exceptional design. The brick exterior is compatible with buildings within the immediate area, such as City Hall, the Fire Station, the Chanhassen Bank, Century Bank, and West Village Center (Byerly's). Additional emphasis should be undertaken to help create an entrance statement for the downtown. The applicant originally submitted plans with building elevations for Building A that were less articulated on the south elevation (see large plan sets). In response to staff comments, they have since submitted revisions adding a window and canopy in the southeast corner of the building and two spandrel glass coverings and canopies on the western portion of the building elevation (see attached elevation reduction). In addition, the roofline has been lowered in the southeast corner of the building to create addition facade variation. While these revisions improve the appearance, staff is still concerned about this elevation as well as that on the west. Staffhas also attempted to relocate building B to the south. However, due to site constraints, we were unable to make this relocation work and still provide the parking required. The design of the site, in conjunction with TCF Bank and Kinkos, does create a U-shaped area for parking that helps to lessen the perception of a "sea of asphalt." The applicant should further investigate relocating the buildings to the south, closer to West78th Street and providing most or all parking between or behind the buildings. Adjacent zoning and land use are N - PUD-RI2, Oak Pond/Oak Hills townhouses; S - PUD, Target, Taco Bell, Lee Ann Chin's, Perkins, W. 78th St.; E - BG, TCF Bank; and W - R12, Eckankar property, Powers Blvd. The site is currently used for the storage of soil excavation material from the previous development of West Village Heights 2nd addition. A significant elevation change will be maintained between Oak Ponds and this development. The site is serviced with municipal sanitary sewer and water service in West 78th Street. Fire hydrant locations should be coordinated with the City's Fire Marshal. The sewer and water lines will also be privately owned and maintained by the property owner. The site is proposed to be accessed from a relocated curb cut on West 78th Street. The access point is restricted to a right-in/right-out from West 78th Street. A second access point will also utilize the West Village Heights Phase II March 1,2000 Page 3 existing driveway entrance in the southeast corner of the site adjacent to the bank property. The development is proposing a total of 157 parking spaces as required by city code. Staff is recommending approval of Site Plan #96-7 (File 2) subject to the conditions of approval.

BACKGROUND On March 10,1997, the City Council approved the preliminary and final plat for West Village Heights 3rd Addition replatting the Second Addition. At the same meeting, the Council also approved Site Plan #96-7 for 26,786 square feet of commercial development for three buildings and Conditional Use Permit # 96-2 to permit more than one building on a lot for West Village Center Phase II. The site plan was not built. The applicant received an interim use permit, IUP #93-2, in November 1993 to allow site grading to begin on West Village Heights 2nd Addition prior to obtaining final site plan approvals for West Village Center. Approximately 100,000 yards of excavation were to be involved as part of the overall grading operation. Of this amount, approximately 40,000 cubic yards of excess material was removed from the site. The excess was to be stored on-site. Grading was completed during 1994. West Village Heights Phase II March 1,2000 Page 4 The site contained a small depression that is not a protected wetland. While it had wetland characteristics, available information indicated that it was created for storm water purposes and was therefore exempt. A review of the history of the pond indicates that it was created when West 78th Street was constructed for stormwater holding purposes. The records show that this was not a mitigation site for other wetlands filling in the area, but was created for the specific purpose of stormwater retention. The basin was approximately 0.5 acre. The City of Chanhassen, after reviewing the proposed project to ensure compliance with the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) of 1991, processed and administered a WCA exemption report. In this case under the WCA exemptions, this wetland did not require mitigation. The WCA states that a replacement plan for wetlands is not required for impoundments or excavations constructed in non- wetlands solely for the purpose of effluent treatment, stormwater retention, soil and water conservation practices, and water retention, soil and water conservation practices, and water quality improvements, and not as part of a compensatory wetland mitigation process that may, over time, take on wetland characteristics (WCA; Exemption 10). In November 1986, this property was approved for a mixed use subdivision (West Village Heights 2nd) including five commercial lots, one multi-family lot, and the realigned right-of-way for West 78th Street. In addition, this property was rezoned from R-Ia, Agricultural Residence, to C-3, Service Commercial, and R-4, High Density Residential. In 1987, the southern five lots were rezoned to BG, General Business District, as part of the revisions to the Zoning Ordinance. Prior to the redevelopment of the downtown and the finalization of the West 78th alignment, the western portion of the site was rough graded in anticipation of a PDQ center. This center and other commercial uses were never built, although all of the residential acreage has either been developed or is currently being built out. The West 78th Street alignment was modified and a revised road section employed concurrent with the approval of Target. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE Both building's primary material will consist of brick matching the previous buildings in West Village Center. The larger building has a maximum height at the top of the parapet wall of 28 feet 4 inches. The waIl area at the entrance and the faux entrance on the south elevation project out from the body of the building I foot 4 inches. These areas also step up the roofline 6 feet 2 inches. Red decorative metal borders the sign area and is used as canopy material over the entrance and windows. Decorative stone, matching the stone on the shopping center, is inset in the brick fields. A soldier course band at the height of the canopy runs completely around the building. A brick comice and metal coping matching the shopping center is at the top of the wall. The building sign area is backed by white EIFS. Windows are proposed adjacent to the entrance and in the southeast corner of the building. Spandrel glass is proposed along the south building elevation. Staff's primary concern with the building A's architecture is that there is insufficient articulation around the building and the two inch reveals proposed in the brick facade will not be sufficient to provide variation in the west side of the building. Therefore, staff is recommending that windows be West Village Heights Phase II March I, 2000 Page 5 added at the employee lounge area in the southwest corner of the building, that a canopy be provided over the doorway and windows, and that a patio be provided to permit employees to sit outside in this area. Also, the west and north elevations should be modified in one or more of the following ways: add windows or more articulation in the waIls (perhaps through the use of columns, larger recesses). In addition, the increase in the landscaping along the western and northern sides of the building as well as the use of larger caliper trees should help soften the long expanses of relatively blank wall areas. The fake entrance on the south should be further defined by continuing the I foot 4 inch projection of the brick out from the building between the columns, creating a canopy. This will provide additional shading and highlight the south side. Additionally, staff would support and recommend showing the western portion of the south parking lot for Office Max as proof of parking and instead create an artistic feature in a small green area including sculptures, fountains, benches, gazebo, etc. LANDSCAPING Minimum landscaping requirements for the proposed development include parking lot landscaping, boulevard trees along W. 78th St. and Powers Blvd., and bufferyard plantings. Ordinance requirements for the proposed development are shown in the following table.

Abutting property owners may plant the remaining 25% on their property. Boulevard trees - West 78th Street Boulevard trees - Powers Blvd. Buffer yard B* - West 78th Street (380') Buffer yard B* - Powers Blvd. (260') Buffer yard D* - North property line (460') Parking lot 13 overstory trees 7 overstory trees 9 overstory trees o overstory trees The applicant does not meet minimum landscape requirements for boulevard trees and buffer yard plantings along the north property line and Powers Boulevard. These areas will need to be revised in order to meet the minimum requirements. Staff recommends that the applicant revise the landscape plan to reflect these requirements. West Village Heights Phase II March I, 2000 Page 6 Of concern are the parking lot landscape islands. The space planned for the proposed Marshall's Ash trees is as narrow as 4' wide in some islands. This is unacceptable even with aeration tubes. The applicant shall work with staff to revise island configurations to meet acceptable standards. LIGHTING/SIGNAGE The proposed lighting will be consistent with the lighting used at West Village Center, dark bronze anodized with square heads. Lighting shall use shielded fixtures and be directed away from public right-of-way and adjacent residential property. Sufficient lighting shall be provided to illuminate all areas of the parking lot to provide adequate levels of safety. To minimize off-site impacts, light levels as measured at the property line, shall not exceed one-half foot candle. The plans propose that wall mounted lighting unit be provided on the south, west and north sides of the building. This wall unit must be shielded from direct off site view. The development shall comply with City Code (section 20-1303) in the installation of development signage. The proposed development has two street frontages. One ground sign may be permitted per street frontage. Such signage must be separate from other ground low profile signs by at least 300 feet. It appears the developer is proposing a monument sign in the southwest corner of the site. The two faces of the sign may not be separated by more than 45 degrees or they will be considered two signs or the total area of both faces added together does not exceed the maximum allowable sign area for the district (64 square feet). Wall business signage is permitted per street frontage. Wall signs may be located on the south and west elevations of Building A and the south elevation of Building B. Wall signs shall not exceed five percent of the total area of the east .and south elevations of Building A and five percent of the south elevation of Building B. Staff has calculated the sign area for building A as follows: east elevation based on 3,735 square feet permitted sign area of 187 square feet; and south elevation based on 4,351 square feet permitted sign area 217 square feet. A separate sign permit application shall be required for all signage. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN lSWMP) This development is not responsible for storm water management fees since they are not subdividing. In addition, the properties have been specially assessed for storm water drainage improvements in conjunction with the West 78th Street upgrade. GRADING The entire site is proposed to be graded for the parking lots and building pads. Currently there is a grade difference on the site of over 30 feet north to south. The slopes on the northerly portion of the site, behind the buildings, are proposed with 2.5: I side slopes which is the maximum slope staff would recommend from an erosion control and maintenance stand point. For comparison, the existing slopes on the parcel to the east have similar slope conditions. A segment of retaining wall is I West Village Heights Phase II March I, 2000 Page 7 proposed at the base of the slope adjacent to the trash enclosure and truck loading areas. The retaining walls range in height from 1- 6 feet high. All retaining walls in excess of 4 feet will need to engineered and separate building permits obtained. The fIrst floor elevation of buildin~ "A" will be approximately the same elevation as the intersection of Powers Boulevard and West 78 Street. Both first floor elevations of the buildings will be 4-6 feet above West 78th Street. The top of building "A" will be approximately 9.5 feet higher than the north property line and building "B" will be approximately the same elevation of the north property line. The grade difference is due to the site's topographic constraints. Overall, staff believes the applicant has done a good job of blending the buildings into the site. The applicant has indicated that the site grading will generate approximately 40,000 cubic yards of excess material that will need to be removed from the site. Staff is concerned about haul routes and recommends that the haul route be restricted to West 78th Street to Powers Boulevard and not through the downtown area east of the site. The applicant should also be aware that if any of the material is to be hauled to property within the City, the individual property owner must obtain a grading permit through the Engineering Department prior to earthwork activities commencing. The existing boulevard trees along West 78th Street may need to be temporarily relocated or graded around in conjunction with site improvements. These boulevard trees were planted in conjunction with the City's West 78th Street Downtown Improvement Project. The applicant shall be responsible for replacement of any or all damaged boulevard trees as a result of construction activities. The City has existing utility lines and streetlights adjacent to this parcel that may be impacted by site development. The applicant shall be responsible for all adjustments of the City utility lines, streets and street lights impacted by development of the site. A financial security shall be included in the site plan agreement to guarantee restoration and lor replacement of the city's infrastructure impacted by this development. EROSION CONTROL Type I erosion control is already employed from previous earthwork activities on the site. The plans propose Type I silt erosion control fence along the southerly grading limits. A rock construction entrance is also proposed at the main entrance on West 78th Street. Staff recommends additional erosion control fencing be installed along the westerly grading limits on the site as well. The applicant should also consider incorporating additional erosion control measures such as temporary sediment ponds during construction to prevent erosion from leaving the site. DRAINAGE Storm drainage will be conveyed through a series of proposed storm sewer pipes in the parking lots which will be connect into the City's storm sewer system along W. 78th St.. The City's storm sewer system discharges into the downtown regional storm water quality and quantity pond located west of Powers Boulevard and north of Highway 5. Therefore, no on-site ponding will be necessary with this West Village Heights Phase II March I, 2000 Page 8 proposal. Staff recommends the applicant's engineer submit drainage calculations for a 10-year, 24- hour storm event for staff review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. The proposed storm sewer system on the site will be privately owned and maintained by the property owners. The applicant will be responsible for obtaining the proper permits through the City's Building Department. UTILITIES The site is serviced with municipal sanitary sewer and water service in West 78th Street. The plans propose to extend the utilities to the buildings along with a water line connecting the two lots. Minnesota plumbing codes require individual service lines for each building; therefore, the interconnecting water line will need to be deleted. Fire hydrant locations should be coordinated with the City's Fire Marshal. The sewer and water lines will also be privately owned and maintained by the property owner. The appropriate utility permits and inspections will be required by the Public Safety Department. STREETS Both lots are proposed to be accessed from a shared access point along west 78th St. The existing curb cut from West 78th Street will be relocated approximately 60 feet west. This access point is restricted to a right-in/right-out from West 78th Street. The existing curb cut will be removed and restored with sidewalk and landscaping. A second access point will also utilize the existing driveway entrance in the southeast corner of the site (next to TCF). This will allow traffic to access West 78th Street across from Target Lane. Staff has reviewed the overall parking lot layout and is comfortable with the configurations. Staff recommends that a traffic signage plan be submitted for staff review and approval prior to building permit issuance. Internal sidewalks are proposed throughout the site. A sidewalk will extend from West 78th Street to and in front of Building "A", across to Building "B" and reconnect to the existing sidewalk by TCF. MISCELLANEOUS The building owner and or their representative should meet with the Inspections Division as early as possible to discuss plan review and permit procedures. Detailed Building Code review items will be discussed at that time. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: West Village Heights Phase II March I, 2000 Page 9 (I) 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: a. 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 d. 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 overall design and architectural theme for the development is established by West Village Center and consists of brick exterior walls with "classical" uses of arches, recessed areas, and varied building facades. Subject to the recommended conditions of approval, the development embodies many of the design elements specified in the Highway 5 Corridor Study including a well designed and varied building facade, appropriate building scale and proportion, harmonious colors and building accents, appropriate screening, and the use of high quality building materials. Pedestrian access will be provided from West 78th West Village Heights Phase II March I, 2000 Page 10 ¡ , I' r 1-- t ~' Street and TCF Bank. The proposed development is consistent with the City's Highway 5 Corridor design requirements, the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, and the site plan review requirements. The site has few existing natural amenities due to previous development in the area. The site design is functional and harmonious with the approved development for this area. ,:; PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 1,2000, to review the proposed site plan for West Village Center Phase II. The Planning Commission voted five for and none against a motion recommending approval of Site Plan #97-6, file 2, subject to the conditions contained in the staff report with the following modifications: deleting condition 6; directing staff to review the proposed changes to tree species to be placed in the parking lot (condition 9); directing staff to review the joint watermain connection (condition 14); and adding a condition: "Staff determines the way the City can build a monument or welcoming clock tower on the southwest corner of the site and make sure that the applicant has this diagrammed in the site plan that is presented to the City Council." Staff has contacted the applicant's engineer regarding the watermain connection. They will revise the plans prior to issuance of the building permit. Following the Planning Commission meeting, staff has worked with the applicant to create additional articulation on the west elevation. The applicant has agreed to add a spandrel window and canopy in the location of the employee lounge which will continue this element around three sides of the building. Due to security concerns of the tenant, vision windows and an employee patio are not included. The applicant has also been working with staff to improve the landscaping on the site, especially on the western and northern sides of the building. Based on these discussions and revisions, staff is recommending that conditions 4, 5, and 6 be deleted. Staff continues to work with the applicant regarding the signage, and public space improvements in the southwest corner of the site. However, we have not completed a final design for this area prior to updating the report for City Council. Staff recommends that the City Council add a condition that the applicant work with city staff to create the entrance design for this location, which may include the granting of an easement to locate a city monument on the site. The proposed design must be submitted to City Council for approval. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following motion: "The City Council approves Site Plan #97-6, plans prepared by James R. Hill, Inc., dated 1/28/00, subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall enter into a site plan agreement with the City and provide the necessary security to guarantee erosion control, site restoration and landscaping.

PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR TWO RETAIL BUILDINGS. BUILDING A HAVING 23.607 SQ. FT. AND BUILDING B, 7.800~. FT. TO BE LOCATED ON LOTS 1 AND 2. BLOCK 1. WEST VILLAGE HEIGHTS 3 ADDITION ON PROPERTY ZONED BG. GENERAL BUSINESS AND LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF WEST 78TH STREET AND POWERS BOULEVARD INTERSECTION. T.F. JAMES COMPANY. Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item. Peterson: Questions of Bob. Sidney: Yes Mr. Chair. I'm wondering if we could comment about discussions with the applicant about moving the, well relocating Building B more towards the south. Where do we stand tonight? Generous: Their position is that they don't want to move the building further to the south. Sidney: Okay. Kind: And I'm interested in discussions on that south elevation. It looks light years better than it does in the blueprint plan. This color plan looks a lot better having that additional articulation and that spandrow of windows. I'm assuming spandrow means big windows? Generous: Yes. Kind: Okay. And were there any discussions about having those be functional windows or maybe even perhaps display windows so you could see some light? Generous: That was specifically in our original response to the applicant. That we believe that display windows could add some light to that area would be an improvement on the elevation and they went back and talked with their client and this is what they came back with. Kind: Okay. That's all for now. Peterson: Other questions of Bob? Burton: Yes Mr. Chairman. This might be kind of an ignorant question but the first condition talks, that the applicant shall enter into a site plan agreement, and I don't remember seeing that condition before. Is that because there usually is one already or does that always come after this process? 21 Planning Commission Meeting - March 1,2000 Generous: It's required of all site plans. We've just been adding it into the conditions so that everyone's aware up front. Aanenson: What that is, they're agreeing to the terms and then if there's escrow for landscaping, that would be paid at that time. Generous: Or boulevard restoration, whatever. Peterson: Bob, in looking at the north elevation I'm assuming that the significant berm or hill back there is of no issue for the residents above. I mean we aren't concerned at all about the north elevations fÌ"om that perspective because of that? Generous: Well that was part ofit. We are concerned about that elevation but there is some articulation in the wall. It does drop halfway and one of the conditions that they looked at additional articulation on that north wall and additional landscaping. One of the reasons the landscaping is up at the top of the hill and closer to the property line is to help the buffering for the... Aanenson; You're right though, you're going to see the roof of the building. But I guess our concern is too we want to see a perspective as you're coming down, heading south on Powers. You're going to see part of that building. That's what we address the landscaping issue. Peterson: Okay, thanks. Would the applicant or their designee wish to address the commission? If so, please come forward and state your name and address please. Charlie James: Good evening. My name is Charlie James with T.F. James Company. Our office has been in Eden Prairie but most recently we just moved it up here on Highway 7 and Christmas Lake Road. Those two new buildings that are on the corner there are something that we just recently completed. We're in the brown building there. I guess I'd just like to, I see so many new faces here tonight so I guess I'd just, if you don't mind I'd like to maybe just take a little bit of time here and tell you about us and what we do and the history of the company and what we've done in your community in the past here. Basically we're a mostly held family business. We've been in business for over... I think one of the defining characteristics of our firm is that we're long term owners of the property. We're not general contractors. That's not a profit scenario for us. We're not syndicators. We're not people that sell these things off to institutions. We build these projects for our own portfolio and we're in it for the long run. We have many times situations where as this one where we have a 20 year lease with the prime tenant and we have many situations where we're into the first 5 or second 5 or third 5 year renewal of these same leases so we have very much of a vested interest and the building is high quality a project as we can. When we did the Byerly's project, I feel that there was a lot of input from everybody here at the city. All the staff members. I think we got a real nice project out of that. I was very pleased that although I'm not a member of either of these groups, that when the project was completed we received an award from, there was a banquet by the National Association of Business, Minnesota Shopping Center Association and the National Association of Office and 22 Planning Commission Meeting - March I, 2000 Industrial Park. Basically commercial property people. And there was a competition involving a large number of projects and we were given the award for the best community shopping center. So we're proud of that. We feel that this project is sort of the continuation of that. We would like to use the same brick that's on that project. And incorporate many of the same design features. This is not a prototypical Office Max. The prototypical Office Max is a tan block building with a lightweight steel skin canopy on the front of it and what you, the work product that you're seeing here before you this evening is really the tip of an iceberg. We've been at this for what, at least 18 months now and it's been a constant process of these people. The floor plan is atypical. The building size is atypical: The brick all the way around is atypical. It's taken a long time to get to this point and there's been a lot of consideration that's been given to building placements. We have a lot of constraints to work with here. We have an existing grade here where there's a driveway at Twin City Federal and we have a slope graded back here. We have the grades of Powers at the low dip and the street here so everything has to kind of fit on this and one of the problems with relocating this building is that given the size of the floor area, it's very difficult for instance to take that building and put it here because you have to hold the elevation all the way across the side of that floor. You can't have a sloping floor in it and as a result for this driveway would enter into it, you'd be faced with just a huge drop off or a retaining wall situation so there's nothing really arbitrary or capricious about the placement of these buildings. There's a considerable amount of study that went into this. Tonight I have with me Jack Amdahl. Jack is a principle in an architectural firm KKE. I'd like Jack to have an opportunity to maybe explain the project characteristics in greater detail. I also have with me Tony Oxboro. Tony Oxboro is an associate at our firm and Tony will be the project manager and basically the point man on this project. While there are some things that I would like an opportunity to comment on later in the staff report, I will skip that for now save to correct one thing. With regard to the windows on the south elevation. Two of the windows down here are spandable glass and what that means is that it has every appearance of being regular glass. As a matter of fact there's spandable glass in the front of the Byerly's in those arches in many places. It reads as ¡fit's vision glass but there's something behind that so that the light doesn't penetrate it but only two of these windows on this elevation are spandal and the other one is vision glass and that will be, you'll be able to see into the copy center. And one of the constraints that we had there was, in this type of store they stack the merchandise all the way to the ceiling and they have wall shelving all along these walls and there was only one place where we really had an opportunity to vision glass and staff had the idea that they thought a copy center where people are coming in and having things stapled, that is activity and people would see that sort of thing happening through the window so that will a vision window there. I guess at this point I can answer some questions or else I can just introduce Jack and let him maybe tell you a little bit about the building. Peterson: Any questions? Jack Amdahl: Jack Amdahl with KKE Architects. We are the architects for Building B and are working closely with the Hirshman firm in Ohio which are the architects of record for the Office Max building and we work concurrently in this proposal and along with Tony. Can you pick this up on the mic in reach over a little bit? I'm sure you're all familiar with this site. ...north being up here. Just a pedestrian walkways along 78th Street here and up along Powers do exist to date here and we are connecting to those pedestrian walkways right up here which would connect 23 Planning Commission Meeting - March I, 2000 across here and across the front of the proposed Office Max building, which would also provide for a link across here and across the front of Building B. There is a connection across from the Target here and up along the east property line that exists now and has a connection into the bank parcel here. We would continue that here so in essence we'd have a loop through the project here off 78th all through the project across the front of both buildings. ... building does allow for our truck movements to be back behind the building here and screened from the public. The loading dock for this building, and then that grade loading pad area here for Building B which are tucked on the back of this site. Not visible from the west or the southeast, or southwest excuse me from the intersection. And sort of tucked into the hill. It does require a small retaining waIl here because it is a depressed loading dock, but that's all screened behind the building. At this time we're not asking for approval but in the southwest corner here it was noted in the plan that we are looking at a ground mounted monument sign and we feel that sort of anchors the corner of the site. Our buildings do parallel 78th Street and Powers. We feel sort of reinforces the corner of the site there. We're not some building that's skewed to the city streets. We're sort of following the grid and so forth, and carrying that over to the main field here. We have setback requirements for the parking and to get the most efficient use of the parking we've marched that up the hill here to Building B so we can make use of the grade that's there. And as was noted in the staff report, this siting and setting of the buildings here fit into this site. We haven't plowed a huge pad into the site and required retaining walls or forced it to the front of the site where we would have to actually take the buildings and have them up off 78th Street so we'd have a level pad or have a lot of steps that would require ramps and something that wouldn't seem so natural in the site. In fact take a look at Building B here, this would be the south elevation. As you can see it mirrors a lot of the detail that's on Phase I of the project with the towers, the arched windows and so forth. We have lightened up the façade of the building with the sign band which would be an EFIS material which is exterior insulation finish system. Synthetic stucco. And that would be across the front here. We are book ending on either side here with the tower features which do stick out from the building. This red band here is a metal awning that would be hung off the building and it tucks into both of the towers at either side so from the end of the building you can't see it but it's book ended between the two towers here. The materials we're looking at the identical brick to Phase I here. As you know it's a field of brick. It's not one color. There's three or four colors of brick in there. We're looking at the accent brick here which is typically at the top of the building and some banding through the arches of the building. This EFIS material here we're looking at two shades. The general sign band would be this shade and this would be sort of a cornice at the top. Kind of artificial shading and shadow with different color. The pre- finished metal would be complimentary to the brick which is at the top of the building and also this color. We are looking at a different store front system. We're looking at clear anodized which is basically looks like brushed aluminum for the store front system from the previous project feeling that's a little lighter. Little more inviting to the building. And then of course the red color here and that carries over from the Office Max building. We go to the Office Max building. We go to the Office Max building. This would be the easterly elevation facing the parking lot field and Charlie described the change of this from a prototype building but we are looking at the same brick here on Phase I of Building B with the accents at the top. Similar color EFIS material for their sign band. There is a projecting metal canopy at their front entrance here and have some accents at the top of that in red and also on either side with these projecting pylasters off of the building. So it's a very strong entrance to the building. Similar on the south 24 Planning Commission Meeting - March 1,2000 side that feature is carried to the south side. The upper portion of it with the sign band, the pylasters on either side, and then the spandrow windows that were discussed on the westerly edge. Westerly end of the south elevation and then the vision window here at the copy center. If there's any other questions I'll be able to answer later on. Peterson: One of the questions that was noted in the conditions was adding the entrance or potentially an entrance in the employee lounge area. Could you speak to that at all? Or have you guys thought about it further? Tony Oxsboro: My name is Tony Oxsboro. As Charlie said I'm with the T.F. James Company and that's something that was brought up by the staff and we would certainly be happy to explore that and try to work with staff to accommodate a vision glass on that side of the lounge area and I think he also indicated an interest in exploring an outside patio type area and that's something that we would certainly be willing to look into. I think I'd have to gather some input from the occupant of the building and I haven't done that yet. I thought we'd see how the meeting went here tonight but I think we'd be open to exploring that. Peterson: Other questions of the applicant? Kind: Yes Mr. Chairman. Did you consider using a lighter color brick and not keep it the same as the Byerly's complex? Tony Oxsboro: No, we never did. We thought we were, as Charlie said and I attest to that, pretty proud of, we like what we did on the fIrst phase and we wanted to continue the look all the way through the West Village Center Phase II so it appeared to be one entire master plan development. And so that came up. Kind: I think Byerly's center is one of the nicest shopping centers we have in town. The nicest one. I think it's lovely. I'm a little concerned that more of that same brick is going to be a little monotonous and I guess I would like to encourage you to consider maybe using, treating these two buildings as kind of a separate thing and consider a lighter color brick or different or whatever. Just an idea. And then I'm going to get back to my fake windows thing. I'm really concerned for you guys that it's going to look like the store's closed with those windows being dark. So I'm trying to figure out a way to get some light in there. It's possible, I'm thinking that you could access them from the outside. You know have them be . locked and have them be display windows only where you don't need to, you can still stack this stuff inside up to the ceiling but on the outside you could access these display windows. I'd like you to think about that. Jack Amdahl: Certainly. I'm not sure how we could work that out, and I think we did have some discussions about having that possibility with some lighting inside those things perhaps and then it gets into an entirely different design because you have to accommodate maintenance and access issues and so you have to have hinges and a whole different window system. So I'm not sure what the answer is. 25 Planning Commission Meeting - March 1,2000 Kind: Thank you. Jack Amdahl: You're welcome. Peterson: Thank you. Kind: I do have a couple more questions actually. Peterson: Of staff or? Kind: Staff. Peterson: Go ahead. Kind: Go ahead? Bob, I noticed on the site plan that there's some bolts for banners being integrated into the building. Is that common that we have that and are banners allowed? Aanenson: Yes. We do allow it. Generous: ... banners are permitted. Kind: Okay. Generous: It's probably good on their part that they accommodate then now than trying to gerry rig it later. Kind: This will be the most pleasing way to have a banner. Aanenson: Byerly's has them. They have the wine sale up there. Target does when they're looking employees. Our ordinance accommodates that. Kind: And do you need a permit to have the banner up? Generous: Yes. Aanenson: It's a nominal fee but we do. Just to make sure we regulate how many days they're up. Kind: And oh, the applicant, how do you feel about the proof of parking, green space area? Nobody spoke to that. Charlie James: I've been around here long enough that I remember when other monuments or decorative features went into the other end of Chanhassen. As a matter of fact I believe we were assessed just for those as part of the overall downtown improvements that went in. We have some ideas, as we got that staff report we had some ideas of some things that could be done. One 26 Planning Commission Meeting - March I, 2000 of them was that with this sign area here, one thing that could be done with that would be to maybe add some wrought iron fences at either end of it and then bring that down to maybe some sort of brick pillar with some, I don't know the architectural do dad on top. Do dad's but you know you could dress that thing up and put, I don't know if you've seen these things before but where the wrought fence is kind of an anchor either side of that and they're kind of come down and then be tied into other elements. Something like that's a possibility that we could go back and add something like this to the sign. The other thing that I'd be willing to work with staff on is if the city wants an easement and they want to build another one of these Chanhassen towers like you've got at the other end of the village, you know if there's an area here that could accommodate that, we'd be willing to grant an easement or whatever to the city if they'd like to do that. The problem that we get into with reducing the parking as we've got a lease with Office Max that says 5 cars per 1,000. And so in trying to hold the lot coverage down, let me back up here a little bit. When we did the first phase with Byerly's I think it was unique at that time because correct me if I'm wrong Bob and Kate, but I think it was the first time a commercial project had done in the City ofChanhassen that came in under straight zoning and we didn't come in with a PUD and say well we don't want to meet the setback or we don't want to have this many parking and so we just looked at the ordinance and says what do we have to do and we built to it. And I think the only variance that was required there is to have one, two buildings on one lot. And so there was a request there to detach the Kinko' s from the strip and put it out as a free standing building and that required a variance and then that request came from staff and the idea was to kind of, not just have a long strip but to have more things happening this way as you went along the street. And so similarly on this project here, again where this is not a PUD request. What we're trying to do is come in. Look at your zoning ordinance and meet the letter of the law to a T. And the lot coverage ratio is I believe 70%. We're only proposing to cover 65% of that to have more green area. So we're right at where we need to be on the parking so any, for instance Office Max has in their lease, they have a specific criteria that says, what is it? 100 cars within how many feet of the front door? Jack Amdahl: 200 feet. Charlie James: That is very specific criteria and then they have criteria that say we need 5 cars per 1,000 and basically if there's ever any kind of condemnation or diminishment of that parking they have a right to terminate their lease. So it would be disastrous for us at this point to come in and propose to eliminate some of this parking. We'd be jeopardizing our lease with these folks right now, but to the extent that there's land down here available, you know we could work with the city and create an easement or we could certainly buff up that sign and do some increased plantings around that and put some kind of wrought iron fences there or something, we'd be willing to look at that. As long as I'm up here there were a couple other things I wanted to mention in passing here. It was noted in the staff report here that apparently there's some discrepancy in the required proposed landscaping. And as a matter offact when we went through it we came up with a different count than staff came up with but in any event I guess we'd stipulate to the fact that you know, whatever you want or you know we want this to look nice too. So we'll take care of that. Peterson: Is that whatever you want relate back to the Kinko building too? 27 Planning Commission Meeting - March I, 2000 Charlie James: Well, every time I come in this office you know, I always have to look over my shoulder because Bob and Kate are usually waiting to button hole me going when are you going to put some trees and shrubs behind that, so we're going to do that as a part of this because they'll never leave me alone if we don't. Kind: Way to go guys. Charlie James: And the other thing is that they were talking in the report here, it mentions Marshal Ash and one of the real challenges in that project over there is, Chanhassen I think was unique at the time in saying that they wanted overstory trees in a parking lot. And I think that came from Dick Wing and he was, I remember him talking about, he's an airline pilot and he used to fly over Los Angeles and he's say, I'd look down and I'd see all these trees and they can have them there, why can't we have them here. The problem is, is that blacktop gets hotter than heck and overstory trees have huge root systems and at some point as they grow, the heat kills them and they don't get enough nutrients and water and everything because, so this was really an experiment down there. We talked to people at the Arboretum, at the University of Minnesota and we came up with this, those weird pipes. I don't like it but that's what you have to do to aerate the thing to keep it from getting too hot and all those things. If we were just putting crab apples in there or something, it wouldn't be an issue but in any event, and this, I don't know if this came :ITom our engineers but they talked about Marshals Ash and what we'd like to do is put Locust in there because that's what was recommended to us as having the best chance of survival and that's what we did over there. So on page 7 I believe it is of the report, it's in the landscaping section there's a reference to that Marshal Ash. We'd have that to be Locust and then as far as any discrepancy between what's required or proposed, we'll just get together with Bob and Kate and get that figured out. One of the things is is that we're proposing to pull all this landscaping up the hill because that's where it will do the most good. The wall of this building back here, even though, I mean we're going to cost $7.00 a square foot just to hang brick on the outside of this building. The block is $7.00 a square foot. Then it costs another 7 to hang brick on that and we're putting brick along here but even though this wall might be about what is it Jack, about 20 feet tall or something? I mean this whole is such that these people won't really see that much of the back wall itself and so what we're proposing to do here is to pull all the trees up the slope because no one will see them back there at the base of this thing anyway. And that way it will be more of an effective screen and more beneficial to be at the top of the hill than at the toe of the hill. So that was the rationale there. I guess the other thing, if I could, I'd just like to address a couple of things in the recommendation. We'll start with item number 6 on the recommendations. In working with people at Office Max, this curved line under here is no accident. Typically what they have is a rectangular background here and then they have what they call a smoosh. It's kind ofIike the Nike thing, and so that was very important to them to have that curved element. And when it was discovered that we could have another sign on this side of the building, one of the things that we did was to work with them. Their standard sign or lease specifications call for 6 foot letters here. We negotiated that down to 5 foot letters but they were very insistent on this type of background for their sign and so basically that left us with the option or just putting some, you know just hanging these letters on the side of the building and so we wanted to do something and I guess I, this was not intended here as a fake entrance and our 28 Planning Commission Meeting - March I, 2000 concern was that if this windows for instance would have been in this area, even in the span of, well first of all they all have to be spandrow but this might get confusing to people when they pull in there and they might thing well this is the entrance when in fact the entrance is on this side with the metal canopy over it. But we felt that this, having this feature and then we insisted that this sign panel which, in their prototype sent sticks up like the old Western... We wanted that anchored with this kind of power element that's a direct reference to the clock tower, to Byerly's entrance on the other building there and so I think what we ended up with here was a nice balance with the windows down here and the window without making this really read as another entrance. So it wasn't intended to be a fake entrance. What we were trying to do is make the best of their demand for signage on this side of the building. And then for this curved element here. So we have a lot of things kind of...on this building. On the front, and on this side we have a lot of things kind of going in and out but if you look between Powers Boulevard and is it Kerber? That's on this. Okay. If you look between Powers and Kerber, really there's a lot of things going on with those buildings and as you pull into Byerly's, you look down the driveway and you see the Twin City Federal tower and so these buildings are pushed back and pulled forward and so it's not just a monotonous band of buildings all along your main street there. And that was a very deliberate thing. I do have some concern about your request for windows and things on this side of the building. As far as the north elevation goes, I mean we've got a lot of detailing going in here. We're putting the same materials on the back of the building that no one's ever going to see that we have in front. But we have very subtle design going on here with soldier courses and these contrasting colored bricks and some stone accents and this sort of thing and we have these shadow lines that are built in here. I guess I would argue that on this west side of the building you're coming down the hill from Powers Boulevard and I'm a little hesitant to do a lot of things that call a lot of attention to this side of the building. I think by doing some really nice landscaping there, the affect as you're coming down this hill and as you turn the corner, you're entering the town. And then you're seeing this south elevation but I'm a little concerned about the request for some further what I'll call decoration or something on that side. I think this is a very subtle and very tailored look on this side. The drawings I don't think do as good a job as they could of showing that. We have different bed brick or some brick that's like 3 inches deep and some that's 4 inches, standard 4 inches so we're creating shadow lines there and some other things. I think those could be pulled out a little bit more. I don't think the brick people on the first phase maybe did as good a job as pulling those out as far as they could be pulled out from the wall to get an even stronger shadow but I guess in my opinion I think that if we, particularly if there's some sort of monument or we did something with the sign with wrought iron or something, I think this might look a lot nicer here. If we just used this wall with this very sort of subtle and tailored motif on the back. There's kind of a back drop. Some really nice landscaping and you come down the hill and turn and then you're in town and everything's kind of oriented towards the street here. So that was a concern of mine. The comments in item 5 and I guess I addressed item 6. And as far as item 7 goes, about the proof of parking, I think we've explained the constraint that we have there with the lease and also trying to maximize the green area on the space and again we can either buff up the existing sign there and really make a feature or we could work with the city to do another one of your entrance monuments. One other thing, item 14. They say the proposed water main connection between the lots shall be deleted and again that was intentional and the whole idea of that is, there's two water lines that come in to serve the buildings and the idea is that you try to loop things because whenever you loop two 29 Planning Commission Meeting - March I, 2000 systems you get a higher pressure than if you're just trying to push water. And similarly if one of the valves should fail or freeze or something, then you've got water that can travel an alternate route so that's not a big point but I really didn't understand why someone was objecting to looping when in fact when we built Phase I we were required to loop all the way around the whole project. And item 18 they talk about a traffic control plan and I'm wondering if that, I guess that's a question for Bob and Kate. What we're talking about there is that like we had to do in the first phase where we come in and show where stop signs are going to go and Where the fire lanes and cross, okay. Alright, I understand that then. And item 19, I've been told that our engineers are reworking some of these retaining walls to keep them all at about, what was it 3 to 4 feet? 3 to 4 feet. And I guess that's the extent of my Comments. I guess we're happy to continue to work with staff on these things and I just wanted you to know that there are some very real reasons for why things are the way they are. And sometimes it's not as easy as you mightthink. If you'd have any other questions I'd be happy to respond. Peterson: Okay, thank you. Motion for a public hearing. Kind moved, Sidney seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened. Peterson: Motion to close public hearing. Burton moved, Blackowiak seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Peterson: Commissioners. Anyone have any additional comments that they care to make? Kind: Mr. Chair I'd like Dave to address the water main question and also the Carver County . Engineer letter about stacking. At that corner. Hempel: Mr. Chairman, commissioners. To address the water main connection. Mr. James is right. Most the time we do like to see a looped water system from fire flow protection and water quality standpoint. However I'm told through our Buildings Division that due to the two separate lots, separate buildings, plumbing codes require they have individual water services, not interconnected. There may be something where we could put a valve on each end of it to isolate it so they're not connected and should one of the lines break at one time or something for emergency or fire sprinkler purposes, they can open that valve so I will research that one further with our building department. Kind: And then the stacking traffic. Hempel: The staff and the applicant did have an initial conversations regarding that because the existing access that's out there today will actually be removed and moved westerly approximately 60 feet to accommodate the site drive aisles and alignments of the building and so forth so we did have some discussion and some concern and it's mainly going to be affected during the peak rush hour, during the afternoon. That seems when there's the most traffic westbound on West 78th Street to go southbound on Powers to get onto Highway 5. One thing 30 Planning Commission Meeting - March 1,2000 that may help the situation in the future is with the upgrade of Trunk Highway 5 we will extend that West 78th Street or north frontage road west of Powers that will carry more thru traffic instead of having to get back out onto Highway 5. It gives the people an option.. .so that may reduce some of the stacking problems that currently occur out there. What it's going to do is require the customer to evaluate whether they want to go out that access or go further to the east back through TCF and come out at Target Lane where the traffic signal is. Kind: I agree. It's going to be. . . Conrad: Just a comment Mr. Chair. Staff, on condition 5 in your report. You talked, the second sentence you talked about the north and west elevations. And I'm kind of, I'm not sure what you want to do on the north. It's pretty much a buried side. If we have our druthers it's the west that's of concern. Aanenson: Right. I think that the applicant has pointed out the concern that we have is what you see driving when you come down future extension of West 78th this is going to be your perspective of the downtown. So what we talked to the applicant, we met again on Friday and Bob had indicated the employee lounge which Tony said they haven't spoken to Kinko's but what we're trying to do is make this corner, where we talked about kind of, to encourage the pedestrian, the kind of street furniture or something so we've asked them to look at that. And Charlie has indicated too ofIooking at a further defined sign or something like that but we would see something, in front of Byerly's you can sit outside. We're trying to encourage something, in front of Richfield Bank's the fountain. While this might not be the appropriate place for a fountain but something else. If you're waiting for someone to pick you up. Something besides a bus shelter but something else that you've arrived and that's what we're kind of talking about. It doesn't have to be formalized as a bench. It could be some other landscaping but what we're thinking too is, Bob had talked about the employee lounge came out that side and something else to warm it up so it's not just a cold wall. Conrad: Where is the? I thought the employee lounge was on the southwest corner. Okay. Aanenson: Approximately here where you can have people sitting out on tables. Generous: Just north of that drawing. Conrad: Okay. But the north side is not a problem, is it? That's what I'm trying to. Aanenson: Probably not. You're not going to see it from above and by the time you come down the hill, you're going to be past most of it. You're right. I think this elevation is probably the stronger one when you're coming into downtown, correct. Conrad: Okay, I just wanted to be clear on that. I listened to Charlie, and Charlie it's fun to hear you talk. You're mellowing in the years and I'm the only one that knows that. Charlie James: We're getting old. 31 Planning Commission Meeting - March 1,2000 Conrad: Yeah I know.. . this is your last project here. I like to hear your rationale. It's fun. I know it' sreal stuff. Yet on the other hand, seriously the, that corner is real important. It's like an entrance and you've got your back to the entrance. In any development you don't like to do that. In anything that I'm aware of you're welcoming so I think I really want you to pay attention to that. I heard what you said and there's some logic to it but on the other hand, a window there might be friendly. Even a fake window, which I hate, but something that warms up that corner. And staff and I'm not sure I'm making a motion here. Somebody else can do that but I think Charlie brought up a real significant feature. We have the clock tower at the other end of the city. I think this is an opportunity that you don't pass by. Ifwe care you know. The City can do something there. Maybe there aren't monies right now but I think we should take a real serious look at what we can do to be welcoming. It doesn't necessarily have to be the applicant that does the welcoming. He's got a business function to do but I think it's real clear we should have something there that says you know, Welcome to Chanhassen comparable to the other end of the city. That's an opportunity we shouldn't lose and if we have to pay for it, that's fine. We should and just so we get the property or we get the easement right now. I think that's real important. Peterson: Okay. Other comments? Burton: Mr. Chairman, I agree with Ladd. I think this is a really good opportunity to protect that corner and the only thing I would really add to what Ladd said is, if we have to look at getting creative to keep, find them some additional parking or make room so that we can do that, then I think that we should. And get creative here to make this work. Otherwise I think that with the staff recommendations it's a nice project and I like it. Peterson: Yeah and I agree too. I could not recommend it going on to Council without doing something to that west elevation. That something has yet to be determined but I'm not at all comfortable letting it go as it is. It's not dissimilar to the Kinko building. It's certainly not as much traffic as close but, and Charlie I told you this before too. The last time you were here, every time I drive by that Kinko building I just, I cringe. And I don't want to cringe every time I drive by this one so I'm pretty passionate about that. Motion? I haven't had breakfast yet. Conrad: Okay, I'll make the motion. Unless somebody really wants to. Kind: No, go for it. I might have some amendments. Conrad: That's okay. I'd make the motion the Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan #97-6, plans prepared by James R. Hill, Incorporated dated 1/28/00, subject to the conditions of the staff report. All 31 of them with the following changes. On condition 5, I want to take the word north out of the sentence. Just so everybody knows. I'll sacrifice the north side if we get the west side taken care of. Peterson: I agree. 32 Planning Commission Meeting - March I, 2000 Conrad: Okay. Condition 14. Staff reviews that issue before it gets to the City Council. In one of these conditions there a landscaping plan recommendation that is talking about trees. Wherever it is. Kind: Number 9. Conrad: Thank you very much. And that's probably a good motion but I'd like staff to review the specific trees that are planted in the parking lot with the applicant and consider his request for a change. Condition 32. Staff determines the way the City can build a monument or welcoming clock tower on the southwest corner of the site and make sure that the applicant has this diagramed in the site plan that is presented to the City Council. Those are the only things I have right now. Peterson: Is there a second? Burton: I'll second the motion. Peterson: Any discussion? Burton: Mr. Chairman I'm just wondering if we want to take a look at number 6 based on the applicant's comments. About the fake entrance. Or if we should just leave it the way it is and let that get hashed out. . Conrad: I didn't know how to handle that one. Peterson: Any previous suggestions Kate? Aanenson: Well obviously they don't want to send the mixed signal where the front door is. Our preference would be to have the door facing the other way. We've heard from them that that's not acceptable from them. I guess what we would like them to do is go back one more time based on the conversation tonight with Office Max to make sure that some of these suggestions can be accommodated. If not, then we review that at the time of the City Council meeting. I guess our concern was that enough to make it look like you're not looking at a side or just the signage. Does it need something else to make it look, spandrow windows on one side and the open window I think helps a lot. It's moved a long way from when we first saw it. Conrad: See I didn't know if your report really reflected. Aanenson: It does. It's the canopy issue still. If you look at. Peterson: Because I haven't got a problem with the way it is now. Aanenson: Well I guess that's the issue. I guess if this is enough on that side. Conrad: It looked okay to me. 33 Planning Commission Meeting - March 1,2000 Peterson: Yeah, I didn't see an issue. Aanenson: You might want to modify 6. You may just want to delete that entire condition. Conrad: Okay, I think I would do that. Again I really want the focus on the west side. I tell you, you've got to do something there. Our ordinance, well. You've got to do something there. You just can't put a back to the traffic coming in and that's what you've got right now so if taking 6 off, I would make that motion. Part of my motion that 6 be deleted from the staff report. Peterson: Okay. It's been moved and seconded. We had some discussion. Conrad moved, Burton seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan #97-6, plans prepared by James R. Hill, Inc. dated 1/28/00, subject to the following conditions: I.

All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS AND MINUTES: Aanenson: I'll kind of combine new business and minutes. Next week or the next regular meeting which will be the 15th we have several things scheduled, plus we will have Planning Commission interviews. There's a Met Council Liquor Waste Disposal Site we've been trying to land for a couple of years. So that's a Met Council proposal and the City co-applicants. We do have a one lot subdivision. Interpretation of the sign ordinance on.. . Bikes over on Villages on the Ponds. A small variance and code amendment for... There might be some issues on that. Blackowiak: On what? I'm sorry. Aanenson: Agricultural zone amending the zoning district to allow for a petting zoo. Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. I didn't quite hear. Aanenson: I'm not sure we've identified all the issues yet. We've been working on this for quite a while. It ended up being a little bit bigger than we anticipated so that, and then we'll have time for interviews. To date we have one applicant so we'll try to block off time. I may give you a call Craig and I was wondering, depending on how we do this, if you wanted to start earlier. Do the interviews first. So you're not tired. I don't know that works. Again I'll try to gauge that so I may be giving you a call. Just so a heads up. LuAnn's going to be gone that week. That meeting too. Peterson: As we discussed before, my preference is to have people sit through a meeting so there may be, whether it's that meeting or, it'd probably be easiest to do it that meeting. Aanenson: Yes, great. Good suggestion. And if they hang around the interview, well there you go. Peterson: Exactly. First hurdle. Aanenson: The first hurdle. Okay, and then just other ongoing issues. We did receive an environmental assessment and the complete application for Eckankar's master plan. We hadn't 37 , m , , , "~ ¡¡¡r~r :~m_ OfficeMax i ¡ .:. ¡' ¡¡¡:pôj,' ~ ;¡"í:¡'P ~ ~~... tI!I.1ID , I Z ,:II¡'I"I » Î H-~~" :£¡<;.. ~ jllf U: ..,. ~~i WEST VILLAGE CENTER I I . f" H;¡"~r .~ CHANHASSEN.MN ~ fi!:I~H u,.,~...
