FROM:
Bob Generous, Senior Planner

SUBJ:
Hidden Creek Meadows
Planning Case #04-31
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The developer is requesting subdivision approval to create a 21-lot subdivision with
2 outlots containing wetland and creek as well as the proposed storm water pond and
right-of-way for the extension of Pipewood Lane and a small cul-de-sac, a variance
for a flag lot and a wetland alteration permit for the crossing of the creek and filling
of the adjacent wetlands for the extension of Pipewood Lane.
ACTION REQUIRED
City Council approval requires a majority of City Council present.
PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 15,2005 to review the
proposed development. The Planning Commission voted 5 to 0 to approve the
proposed project with the modification to conditions 48 and the addition of condition
56.
48. The applicant shall install landscaping at the end of the Pipewood Lane and
along the east boundary of Lot 12, Block 2 around the cul-de-sac.
Evergreens and ornamentals shall be installed so as to reduce headlight glare and
buffer views of the street from the existing homes. A minimum of 9 evergreens
and 3 ornamentals shall be planted along the cul-de-sac and along the east
side of the flag lot maintaining planting density of the cul-de-sac along the
east border.
56. The applicant will work with staff to resolve the access issues on Cartway
Lane.
After further review and consideration regarding the street connecting to Cartway
Lane, City staff will now be able to plow the existing gravel roadway of Cartway
Lane since trucks will now be able to continue traveling down the road without
having to turn around or back up Cartway Lane. Additionally, the use of this road
for a street connection is only on an interim basis until the property (Gary Carlson)
develops and a new street is extended to West 62nd Street.

The Planning Commission minutes for February 15,2005 are attached.
As part of the Planning Commission discussion of the project, the question of creating a double
fronting lot of the property to the east came up. By a strict interpretation of the Code, this lot is a
corner lot. However, because Pipewood Lane is not connecting to meadow Court, the design
creates two frontages. In order to avoid this, we are recommending that the cul-de-sac right-of-way
be shifted to the west 10 feet and that the neck for Lot 12 be extended along the east side of the cul-
de-sac to provide area outside of the right-of-way for the recommended landscaping. A public
easement for drainage, roadway, and utility purposes must be dedicated over the northern 43.5 feet
of Lot 12, Block 2.
RECOMMENDA TION
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend adoption of the motion, as modified, in the staff
report dated February 15,2005 (motion begins on page 11 of the staff report).

FW: Hidden Creek Meadows development
Hello Bob. Below is an e-mail from Jeff and Lisa Jewison regarding the referenced
development. I was present for the 1st but not the 2nd meeting but am pretty up-to-par on
this development. I think the Jewisons hit it right on the head.
I am a strong advocate of being very sensitive to existing homes that border proposed
developments. Yes, we as residents should expect development in Chanhassen when we border
un-developed land. However, reasonable development that follows City Ordinance is
necessary to protect our expectations. Sometimes variances are needed to get a better
development but not at the expense of negatively impacting our existing residents to only
maximize development to make a project more cost effective.
It is my strong opinion that if a variance is granted, there should be a trade off - this
might mean losing lot 11 and pushing the cul-de-sac further west as the Jewisons suggest.
Yes, the screening at the end of the cul-de-sac helps and I appreciate staff's efforts on
that- but, its just not good enough for a resident who still would have to deal with the
double frontage, which, in this case appears to be directly against City Code.
If pushing the cul-de-sac further to the west means the loss of a lot or two - that lS
what it is. The non-double frontage argument doesn't hold much water with me -
technicalities aside - its double frontage and its not on a collector or arterial. The
Jewison's spell it out very well below. It shouldn't be allowed. Same thing on the Yo-
Berry Farms development - the double frontage should absolutely not be allowed - there are
always other feasible options and maximizing the number of lots should not be the
governing factor. The prudent action to take is to mitigate the double frontage as
suggested by the Jewisons.
Bob, I appreciate your serious review of this issue and please forward this e-mail to the
City Council for consideration in approval of the development. Thanks.
Steve Lillehaug.

Subject: Hidden Creek Meadows development
Hi Steve,
This is a long email, but we feel a lot was missed in the review of this proposal,
specifically related to the cul-de-sac behind our house and the right-of-way to the North
of our house.
But first of all, we do sincerely appreciate you taking the time to listen to our concerns
over the past couple months. However, we strongly believe the Planning Commission, staff,
and developer overlooked very important items in Chanhassen's city code "Article III,
Section 18-60.G", which addresses design standards of new development lots - specifically,
double-frontage. Based on our research of city code and a discussion with an attorney,
there are issues.
Not sure why, but various items in the city code are completely being ignored, and we are
being taken advantage of unfairly.
"Article III, Section 18-60.G" states:
SCANNED
"Double frontage lots with frontage on two parallel streets or reverse frontage shall
not be permitted except where lots back on an arterial or collector street. Such lots
shall have an additional depth of at least ten feet to accommodate vegetative screening
along the back lot line. Wherever possible, structures on double frontage lots should face
the front of existing structures across the street. If this cannot be achieved, then such
lots shall have an additional depth of ten feet to accommodate vegetation screening along
the back lot line."
There is another case (# 03-3 SUB 03-1 VAC, originally from 9/2/03) involving double-
frontage issue, and there was a variance required in that one. It is interesting to note,
that it was only eligible for a variance request because it was deemed that Frontier Trail
(the original frontage road on the east) acts as a collector street.
Also, our case is MUCH more significant because we will now have cul-de-sacs bordering our
entire front AND back yards. The second frontage in the other case only involved a small
portion of the property touching Great plains Blvd, and in reality it was always that way
but is now a technically because of a right-of-way being removed.
In our situation, neither Pipewood nor Meadow CT can be considered an arterial or
collector street based on the definitions in the General Provisions of the city code.
Neither Pipewood or Meadow CT was "designed to carry large values of traffic between
various sectors of the city, county or beyond" and neither is a "street that carries
traffic from minor streets to arterial streets." They are not "through-streets". Also,
in Article III, Section 18-57, street minimums, the collector street requires an 80 ft
right-of-way while arterial streets have a 100 ft minimum. Pipewood is 60 ft and Meadow
Court is 50 ft.
Even if the proposal is eligible for a variance, which it clearly is not, to approve it,
ALL of the following conditions must exist ("Section 18-22")
we added our comments in CAPS:
1) The hardship is not a mere inconvenience - FAILED, IT IS A BIG INCONVENIENCE.
2) The hardship is caused by the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical
conditions of the land - FAILED, IT IS GREED TRYING TO FIT AS MANY LOTS ON THE LAND AS
POSSIBLE.
3) The condition or conditions upon which the request is based are unique and not
generally applicable to other property - FAILED, THERE IS NOTHING UNIQUE HERE, THE
DEVELOPER JUST WANTS TO SQUEEZE EXTRA LOTS IN THERE AND IS FORCED TO ADD A CUL-DE-SAC AS A
TERMINATOR FOR PIPEWOOD.
4) The granting of a variance will not be substantially detrimental to the public welfare
and is in accord with the purpose and intent of this chapter, the zoning ordinance and
comprehensive plan - MAYBE (GRANTING THE VARIANCE WOULD NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE PUBLIC
WELFARE, JUST OUR PROPERTY VALUE)
To sum up this issue:
The proposal is violating city code "Article III, Section 18-60.F, G" and is not eligible
for a variance. Plus, it only allows for a 14.5 ft right-of-way around the cul-de-sac
when at least an additional 20 ft (beyond the 14.5 ft) would be required for the
combination of the double-frontage and back-to-side lots.. .and that is only if the
adjacent streets qualify for the exception (which would then require a variance) .
We also wanted to bring this
meeting: "Cartway Lane" doès
not even touch our property.
brought up that the variance
is FALSE.
point up again since it became an invalid excuse at the last
not constitute an "existing double-frontage" since it does
It borders our neighbor's property, but not ours. It was
is not needed because there is already double-frontage - this
The next issue is the right-of-way to the North of our house to connect Pipewood to Meadow
CT. The developer was threatening to use that to connect to Meadow CT if the proposed
2
cul-de-sac was not acceptable. Our neighbor's house is right on the easement line and our
house is only 15 ft off the right-of-way. A 30 ft setback is required, and therefore,
both of our houses would have to be removed. This is not a valid argument, nor a
practical option.
Plus, it is not possible since the easement is a 50 foot right~of-way, which is below the
minimum requirement per "Article III, Section 18-57" which states 60 ft. A "Private
Street" has a minimum of 30-40 ft but Meadow Court is not a private street per the
definition in the General Provisions of the
code.
In light of this information, it appears that the alternatives are as
follows:
1. Remove Lot 11 and push the cul-de-sac even further west. This would eliminate the
double-frontage as well as eliminate the need for the variance on the flag lot. To keep a
buildable area for Lot 10, would somehow need to push the wetland setbacks further south
(possibly by extending the wetlands into some of the area previously occupied by lot 11)
2. Remove Lots 10 and 12 and push the cul-de-sac further west and re-draw the lines for
Lot 11. This also would eliminate the double-frontage and the flag lot.
To summarize:
The developer's proposal would:
- Require a variance for the flag lot, but would be in violation of city code regarding
the double-frontage.
- Cause significant negative impact to the value of our property (Article III, Section 18-
60.F)
o We would have two "front yards" as defined by the double-frontage.
o Our second front yard (formerly our back yard), would be bordered by a cul-de-sac,
driveway, and a SIDE yard of another property (also addressed in "Article III, Section 18-
60 .G") .
Our proposals would:
- Be in accordance with city code.
- NOT require any variances.
- Cause the least negative impact to the value of our home and neighbors' homes.
- Reduce drainage problems from the North by removing additional homes and grading, as
well as additional buffer for existing homes and drainage.
- Still provide the ability to connect Cartway Lane to the new cul-de-sac.
- Still provide a good connection to Pipewood from the North (W 62nd
St. )
with the next phase of development.
- STILL give the developer and the city a lot of money!
Not sure what you have found to this point, but we are still reading through the city code
and current and past cases to ensure things are treated appropriately. We will provide
more info when we have it. However, it is extremely clear that this proposal has
significant problems and should not have been approved. We would appreciate your feedback
on these issues and proposals.
Thanks again!

Subject: February 1S, 200S Planning Commission meeting
Good afternoon all. I will not be able to attend tonight's meeting.... Below are comments I received. Please
consider them as part of your review and recommendation.
Also, it is my strong opinion that the developer should definitely go the extra steps to mitigate the negative
impacts as Jeff and Lisa describe. I trust that staff will work with the developer to ensure the specifics are
designed properly as well as constructed as approved to meet all requirements.
Thanks. Steve
Steve,
Thank you for your email referring to the Hidden Creek Meadows
development on the February 1Sth agenda. After reviewing the materials
on the website, here are our questions and concerns.
Planting of Trees:
We appreciate the staff recommending that trees be planted around the
cul-de-sac. However, we still have these questions and concerns.
1. What is the minimum height of the trees that will be planted? How
will that height compare to the height of our house? We are concerned
that we will still have headlights shining in the windows of the top
level of our house.
2. How far apart will the trees be planted? Will the headlights still
shine between the trees? Would seem that, even with the number of trees
noted, it will still result in a loss of privacy in our backyard. With
a hot tub in our backyard, privacy is a key driver to our home's value -
both when we purchased it as well as sales value. We would appreciate
it if more trees could be designated along the entire eastern border of
the development to minimize the loss of privacy of the existing
development to the east, specifically a thicker border between our lot
and the cul-de-sac as well as the flag lot driveway that will run behind
our backyard.
3. When will the trees be planted...when the development is done? or
could they be planted sooner to provide some privacy during the
development process?
4. Who determines the location that the trees are planted to promote the
most privacy? "Around the cul-de-sac" as written in the materials is
somewhat vague.
S. There is a discrepancy in the number of trees proposed by the
developer and the number proposed by the staff (141 vs. 193 trees). Who
monitors this afterwards to ensure that the developer met the
requirements of the city?
Drainage:
Based on the materials, it appears that the drainage issue has been set
aside and disregarded by the developer. Someone should be responsible
and that responsibility should be designated upfront, before approval,
to ensure that the wetland alteration will not affect the existing
homeowners surrounding the area in question. Once the area is developed
and water issues arise, then it's too late. Some areas just are not
meant to be altered.
1. Does the "S-year wetland maintenance and monitoring plan for new
SCANNED
2/17/2005
Page 2 of 2
wetland construction" apply to drainage problems or just the areas where
wetlands have been moved?
2. The materials state "applicant should develop detailed plans for the
installation of the culvert at Pipewood Lane." Shouldn't this be done
before approval?
3. Although the minimum is 36", is the proposed 42" culvert enough to
handle the drainage from the existing homes to the North and East, the
park to the North and the new houses planned for development? Even with
the warm day on Saturday and rain on Sunday, ours and the neighbor's
backyards are saturated and have water standing in them - it is bad
enough already and it could get much worse.
Flag Lot:
The materials reference the variance requirements for the flag lot. It
is a little unclear in the document, but if the variance is to encourage
the natural features, then a flag lot shouldn't be approved. By adding
a house on the flag lot, it only discourages the natural features from
the adjacent existing homes and prevents them from enjoying the
wetlands. The flag lot takes away from the natural features of the
land.
Both the flag lot and lot 11 encroach on the privacy of the existing
homeowners by having a side lot to back lot design. Lots 11 and 12
shouldn't be approved and the other lots should be made wider to protect
the privacy of the existing homes. However, at a minimum, the side lot
setbacks on lots 11 and 12 should be increased to equal the setbacks of
the front of a house given the side lot to back lot design. As
mentioned above, more trees should be designated along the entire
eastern border.
Gate at Cartway Lane:
1. Don't believe there was a reference in the materials to having a
break-away gate where Cartway Lane connects to the cul-de-sac on the
east end. This was proposed by the public at the last meeting. We are
concerned about the additional traffic that may occur without that gate.
Many residential roads in our area already are used as shortcuts between
Highway 7 and Smithtown Road to the North (and to and from the
elementary school). Without a gate, the gravel road, Cartway Lane, also
will become a shortcut and take on more traffic than originally was
intended.
With so much being proposed with these wetlands (seems like the
developer is trying to force a square peg into a round hole), will the
new houses be built on soft ground? I know there are ways to build up
the land and grading, but how effective is that? I've heard many harrow
stories of houses built on former wetlands.
We appreciate the willingness of the Planning Commission to answer our
questions, to hear our concerns and to make an informed decision.

Bob Generous and Matt Saam presented the staff report on this item.
Sacchet: Questions of staff? Any questions from staff?
Papke: I'll start. Yeah, question on the drainage from the wetland there. The lines you showed
on your drawing on the north side, that will be the 948 lane. 948 line I believe you said. The
948 elevation. Was that the number you were using there?
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15, 2005
Saam: On the north side, yes. I had shown the 948 which would be the flood elevation for the
houses on the south side.
Papke: Right.
Saam: I just wanted to show what the amount of area that we have to store water in before it
could even flood these houses. Essentially we have a large amount of area.
Papke: And that's with the grading as proposed right now, pot the alternative grading or the
existing conditions?
Saam: No. This line is showing the proposed grading. What this site would be like if it's
approved basically as is and graded as proposed.
Keefe: Just for clarification on that, sorry. The 948, I mean the blue line is your 100 year mark
right?
Saam: Yeah. The blue line is the 100 year high water level.
Papke: This 948 one is if it's lapping at the doors of the buildings on the south side, that's how
far it will come up on the north side.
Saam: In the 100 year case I gave you both elevations. They're both approximately 943.
They're 4 to 5 feet below the houses. There's really no issue at the 100 year.
Papke: Okay. Kind of a related question on page 6 of the staff report you're asking that the
applicant demonstrate that the installation of the 42 inch proposed culvert will not cause water to
back up, etc, etc. I'm a little curious here, given the background letter from Ryan. Given your
analysis, what's the deliverable there? I mean what is the developer going to have to provide
that will satisfy that request?
Saam: Yeah this, the recommendation you're referring to came from our Water Resources
Coordinator. Not myself. I guess I would say that they're basically at where we need, they've
given us what we need to see, other than tweaking some storm calculations, which I think is a
condition in here. We're basically, I'm satisfied that the 42 inch is going to be sufficient.
Papke: Okay. So in your opinion that's a done deal.
Saam: Yes.
Papke: Okay. Next question on the tree coverage discrepancy between what the developer
submitted and what city staff is recommending. First question is there's a difference in the
percentage of the minimum canopy coverage allowed. The applicant's analysis requires a 25%
minimum of, or 142,000 acres which would probably be square feet by the way, and your
2
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
recommendation is 35% minimum or 200,000 square feet minimum canopy coverage. How did
we arrive at, is that just as a percentage of the total canopy area that you feel is there?
Generous: Yes. Based on the existing conditions, our assumption is that there's more canopy
coverage than they stated in their tree survey because we count lower story trees and he was
saying that these are just the big trees. And so if you have a different starting point, there's
different target preservation.
Papke: Okay. And that was my next question was how could we be so far off between the
developer and what we recommended so the basic difference is the inclusion of the understory
trees in the calculation.
Generous: Correct.
Papke: Okay. Those are my primary questions, thank you.
Sacchet: Any questions Debra?
Larson: He stole my questions.
Sacchet: That does happen.
McDonald: Okay, I've got a couple questions for you. To the west, just so I understand this, on
Piperwood Court, the culvert that is currently there, that is a 42 inch so that's the same size we're
talking about going in on the other road, right?
Saam: Correct.
McDonald: Okay. And also just so I'm clear, because I guess I'm a little confused about this
flooding. Water does flow from Lake Minnewashta into Lake Victoria, is that right? It's
flowing. Or Virginia, I'm sorry. It is flowing in a northerly direction.
Saam: Yes, northwest.
McDonald: Okay. So that the, well okay. Then on the Cathcart Lane, you have a list of
questions about that and some have been answered but currently what the plan would be is that
that will remain just basically the path that it is, and at some point in the future as the other land
is developed, a new access off of, is it 62 or 92nd.
Generous: West 62nd.
McDonald: 62nd Street. A new access will then be developed down from that and Cathcart Lane
just kind of goes away.
Saam: Yes. We vacate that at that time.

McDonald: Okay. And an issue was also raised about a break away gate. Now I take it that
that's something that you would not be in favor of.
Saam: Yeah. We talked about that today. We kind of, the city's kind of gotten away from
doing that. I know there was a time in the recent past where barricades and that sort of thing
were put up. More in a general nature. But we don't feel that's necessary. It's a public road
now while it's not improved, it's a gravel type road. You know it can still be used and I guess we
want that for basically emergency access. We don't see a lot of traffic from this development
unless they're going to that park maybe and they could even walk there. Using that road. They
could, to go to Highway 7 they're more than likely going to take the paved road to the south.
McDonald: Okay, the city maintains that road then at this time?
Saam: I don't believe so but I'm not certain. I was told last time by a neighbor that we don't so
I'll take his word.
McDonald: Okay. I guess at this time, that's all the questions I have right now. Thank you.
Sacchet: Dan.
Keefe: Just a quick follow-up on my question. The Cartway Lane or is it Cathcart, which comes
north/south? Cartway Lane right? And that's going to remain gravel, is that correct? And then
cul-de-sac is going to be paved right to where the terminus, the north/south terminus at the
southern end of, where it takes a 90 degree there? Just so.
Saam: Yeah, basically. Where it starts to turn, the plans show the.. .so you will be able to drive
over the curb to get to the basically the gravel road like a driveway.
Keefe: Okay, but it's really not going to act like a regular street.
Saam: No.
Keefe: So it isn't going to feel like oh well here's a great way to go.
Saam: No. And yeah, that kind of leads to why we don't think it's going to be used as a major
access. At least to get to Highway 7, the main you know road to this development into the metro
so.
Keefe: Sure. Question, sidewalks. Is there a sidewalk in this? It's on the north side? And does
that go all the way to the cul-de-sac then so that people would, if they were going to walk to the
park...
Saam: Yes. We would terminate it basically at the road.
Keefe: Okay. And that goes all the way from really where the bridge is, correct? And does that
connect up to the existing?
4
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
Saam: Existing side line, yes.
Keefe: Yeah, okay. You know when I was out there I was looking at the wetland, and maybe
you can just speak a little bit to this. It seemed like there was a lot of stuff in the wetland and
really on the property out there and I know as a part of the re-grading, they're going to be
cleaning up a lot. What happens to the wetland because I know it's going to be more, we're
doing some mitigation of wetlands. Taking out some wetland and then we're mitigating some of
the wetland. In terms of any clean-up and I don't know, I wasn't actually in the wetland so I
don't know but it sure seemed like along the shoreline of it, you know, can you speak to that at
all? .. .of it and what would we do if anything.
Saam: Yeah, during construction we have inspection. If we, the same thing happened in the first
phase., There was a lot of trash. It was used by some as a dumping area. Appliances, that sort of
thing. We'll expect that to be cleaned up and taken away and we'll make sure it happens through
inspection. So basically the finish product will be cleaned up. That's our intent.
Keefe: And is that for the entire wetland or is that just kind of along the shoreline or how does
that work?
Saam: Well I guess whatever we can see we'll make them do, if that's what you're getting at.
Keefe: You know just curious to know.
Saam: ...if we can see trash related, we'll make sure that gets cleaned up prior to full
acceptance.
Keefe: Yeah, okay good. And then let me see. I'm just going to, let me re-visit the high water.
I mean this, when I was reading through this I thought, okay you're going to put in a culvert, 42
inch culvert. There's potential that the water could back up stream from maybe even like
Virginia. I'm not sure if that's true or not but potentially back up there. You're going to add a
lot of homes, some potential hard space that you're going to have runoff coming from the north
down into this wetland. You may not have anywhere else to go. You're comfortable that the
945, which is the 100 year high water?
Dean Carlson: 942.
Keefe: 942?
Saam: Yeah, it's more around 943.
Keefe: Okay, so with the addition of putting in the, both putting in the culvert. Putting in these
additional homes with the additional runoff that may be created that would go into that wetland,
the alterations of the wetland as we're proposing, that pond on that north side or that wetland on
the north side, it will have the capacity...
5
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
Saam: Yes, definitely. Yep.
Keefe: Okay.
Saam: I mean from the development area, most of that water will be treated and stored in the
pond and released at a slower rate than what the water under the existing condition goes into the
wetland at, if you follow me. They have to meet that existing rate. Typically they hold it back
even more. Plus with the filling of the wetland, they're mitigating so they're creating additional
wetland. Basically additional storage area.
Keefe: There's like 2,000 square feet or something, right.
Saam: Yeah, I'm not sure of the exact square footage but basically more than what was filled, so
with those two items and the over sizing of the culvert, again our SWMP plan which basically
modeled the whole city for a 100 year storm, said the minimum pipe size there required would be
a 36 inch. They're proposing 42 inch which is a little more conservative. It gives us additional
capacity. That sort of thing so water won't be backed up so I think with all of that, all of those
items, we're not going to have a problem.
Keefe: Okay. Yeah I guess, my concern is, I don't know exactly what happened on the south
side as to why the water is where it is. I just would not like us to go forward and have the same
situation on this side. That we're well planned for that.
Saam: We don't want to either. Most of the problems we encountered in the first phase of this
development was more related to construction procedures. At least in my opinion, versus like
pipe sizing and that sort of thing. And we've tried to address that with a number of conditions
here. The ones Bob gave you tonight so, we're going to be watching this one closed based on
the mistakes that happened in the first one so.
Keefe: Yeah, okay. That's it.
Sacchet: Okay, I've got a few questions also. Little more about trees. So you feel you've pretty
exhaustively looked at that with changing some house styles we couldn't save any of the
significant trees because I find it very disappointing. There's really basically no tree saving
except at the very edges.
Generous: We ran, had Matt run the numbers.
Saam: And we sat down with Jill, the City Forester.
Sacchet: And I agree that the place that you showed you there is no significant trees in there, I
mean.
Saam: That was her thoughts exactly so.
Sacchet: Okay.
6
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15, 2005
Saam: And she shared your disappointment too so yeah, we have looked at it.
Sacchet: Okay. Little more about trees. In the conditions, condition number 42. Actually lists
trees pretty specifically for lot, however by my math it adds up to 156 when in the condition
number 41 we say they're asking for 193 trees so how much, how does that get reconciled?
Generous: Well we have some will go with the end of the.
Sacchet: Some are not in lots basically.
Generous: Right.
Sacchet: So that's not.
Generous: They may be in the outlots too.
Sacchet: Okay, so that's understood. And then another tree thing, condition 46 talks about one
tree that's being saved on Lot, which is really the only tree in the whole development that's
getting saved per se. On Lot 6, Block 2. That's that tree next to the street.
Generous: Yes.
Sacchet: Is that, okay. The grading plan shows another couple of trees circled as if they would
be saved but they're outside of the grading limits, like on the western edge.
Generous: It'd be Outlot B I think it is.
Sacchet: I hope they're going to save more than just those out there. Yeah, I find it very
disappointing that one tree is being saved and that one is questionable, not that we have to have a
condition in it. Then the wetland. Yeah, we talk about proposed wetland grading can be avoided
in Lots 10 through 12, Block 2. How much grading is actually in the wetland? With the
proposal that's in front of us.
Generous: If you can zoom in, it's this little corner.
Sacchet: Can you slide it a little more Bob please. There, okay.
Generous: So it's this area right in here. They can just pull that contour over.
Sacchet: Okay. That's it?
Generous: That was it.
Sacchet: Oh boy.
7
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
Generous: That's all that they intruded into it.
Sacchet: Okay, well that's trivial. That's easy to fix. Lot 7, Block 1. I'm still struggling with
that. It seems kind of sandwiched in there to put it mildly. We put in, there's a condition that
there must be 20 feet between the building pad and the retaining wall. Is there currently that
much?
Saam: No, it's slightly under that. It's in the 15ish area.
Sacchet: Well 5 feet is not insignificant in this type of squeeze.
Saam: No, we think it can be done. It may require a taller retaining wall though to do that.
Sacchet: Okay. Yeah, because that's an area where we're wiping out the whole buffer tree
cover there in order to squeeze in that retaining wall, right? One more specific thing. We had a
couple questions about Cartway Lane and I'm still not clear. Is Cartway Lane going to, what is
Cartway Lane now? When it goes away, when there's another access from the north side, from
62nd or what it is, is that going to connect to this, whatever this road is called, the cul-de-sac? Or
is there not going to be connection anymore? I don't think we clarified if there's going to be a
connection or not. Do we know?
Saam: Yeah, in the. Yeah again hard to see on this plan. What we've envisioned right here, it '
says possible future right-of-way. I'm on the site and utility plan. So what we're envisioning is
a street connection. It doesn't have to be exactly right here.
Sacchet: Okay, so it would connect to the road.
Saam: .. . somewhere in there lots could come off each side. It would come up and eventually tie
into.
Sacchet: So there will be a connection in other words?
Saam: Yes. Yes.
Sacchet: The answer is yes. Okay.
Generous: And then they vacate the Cartway right-of-way that exists. And those will become
rear yards.
Sacchet: Excellent. Clear answer. I like clear answers, thank you. That's all the questions I
have.
Keefe: Is there a tie in directly to the regional trail off of this phase or is it off, just off the other
one?
Generous: Not off of this phase, no.
8
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
Keefe: Okay. So residents in order to get to the Hennepin County Regional Trail would, I don't
know what it's called. It's the main trail which goes sort of northeast to southwest, yeah. They
would go through the development to the other stub in or...
Generous: Well there's two ways. They could walk up Cartway and then get on it from the
north, or they can go to the south and come in it through Hidden Creek, there's a trail connection
and a sidewalk system that connects into that.
Keefe: And that was, the sidewalk will tie into.
Generous: Yeah, the sidewalks all tie together. It's up that little cul-de-sac just to the west of
Pipewood Lane.
Keefe: Okay, thank you.
Sacchet: Is that all the questions? Alright, with that I'd like to invite the applicant to come
forward. If you want to add anything to what we're looking at here, and maybe we'll have some
questions as well for you. It's your turn. Do you want to state your name for the record and you
can pull the microphone your way so we can hear you better.
Dean Carlson: Good evening. My name's Dean Carlson with D&G of Chanhassen. I wasn't
able to be here in November. I missed all the fun of that first meeting, but I think everybody
handled it as gracefully as possible with some of the original issues we were dealing with.
Planning and ourselves felt that we had put together a pretty comprehensive package at that time
and as with any first presentation you run into a few items. For addressing just some quick
topics from the conversations that you've had this evening, and I'll go back to one that just is
fresh in mind. The Lot 7, Block 1. Setback in the back. We've designed all the pad sites on the
property at a 60 foot depth. The predominant home depth, and even with a triple car garage is
around 40 feet. We would assume a buyer and/or the builder for this particular site will you
know weigh the location on the limits of the site, so currently on the current design, if you look
at your P-llayout, it would show you that on Lot 7 we reduced it from 60 to 50 depth. And
we're pretty sure our engineering is on the 20 foot setback from the rear and it should actually
give that lot about a 30 foot rear yard space.
Sacchet: So you reduced the pad a little bit to balance it as well.
Dean Carlson: Based on the design we showed a 50 foot reduction down to 50 feet on that site
because of it's, pinning it down into that property line. But I will point out too, on that lot in
particular and 6 and 5 where some of the trees will be cleared to the lot line, the rear lot line,
we're not going into the tree line thatis part of the railway bike trail. There is still a substantial
contingency of trees in that corridor that run along the old railway bed which will still keep that
property buffered from the trail and I think give it a nice seclusion. There's a lot of pines that
run through there that we didn't do a calc on but there are a lot of trees in that area. The other
thing in the staff recommendations with regards to the comments on trees. In our November
proposal we had less salvage of trees on the site based on our canopy coverage and calculations
9
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
but in the revision from 23 lots to 21 we created basically, by eliminating one lot in Block 1, the
outlot B which is the majority of the forestation in that section. That's where a majority of the
trees are so we do not have any recommendation a zero salvage of trees. We've got a substantial
amount oftrees being saved in Outlot B, the back of Lot 8, Block 1 and the attempt to salvage
with proper grading in Lot 1, Block 2. So to say that we have a zero tree salvage in our plan is
incorrect I think if you look at.
Sacchet: Yeah, I should have said except on the periphery.
Dean Carlson: Well I think the Planning Commission statements actually infer it's a zero and
it's actually not so that maybe was misleading. So just a correction there. I think that covers 7.
It's my understanding that the connection to Cartway is in fact for emergency vehicles only. I'm
not sure what the planning department and finish design plans will entail but I'm assuming we'll
just continue the gravel type environment that's somewhat ridged to eliminate just immediate
runoff or run through to the cul-de-sac. Hopefully we'll probably have to put some signs up
there that just say emergency vehicles only to eliminate residents from trying to do short cuts
through that location. And I think a break away fence would be disappointing to plug into the
equation. I'm not sure in the recommendations and the tree canopy of course after this evening
with an approval we can sit down with Jill St. Clair and try to attest to our numbers but I mean
the original canopy coverage was estimated based on aerial photography. We've done a tree
count to attempt to identify the highest, best growth of trees to salvage those and we think that
the Outlot B and potentially the salvage of those trees in the back of Lot 1 and 2 in Block 2
addresses at least some of the trees that are of a quality type that really warrant being attentive to.
Did we not salvage a tree between, I don't know if we could...
Sacchet: There's some behind 3 also.
Dean Carlson: I don't see it in here so maybe it's. It is in there? So is that between 6 and 7?
Perry Ryan: On the grading plan.
Dean Carlson: Yeah, that's the one tree that has a condition actually. On Block 2 right?
Generous; Yes.
Dean Carlson: We're hoping to position that in an offset front yard location so that we can keep
it intact.
Sacchet: Yeah, that was the one tree I was referring to. The one tree that is within the
development. So we speak the same language.
Dean Carlson: Well within the developed lots, yes. The outlots still would give us additional
coverage. I would raise one question for the Planning Commission and the City this evening
with regards to a condition that was talked about and that's under utilities. Some time ago, and
I'm not sure when, I have not researched the history of this site back to the dates of this
assessment of utilities went into place but on the McPherson property there is an existing
10
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15, 2005
$25,477 utility assessment that is being recommended for payment at final plat. I'm not sure
really what that came from. Most of the people in this room weren't in city hall at the time it
was issued. To me it seems like an unwarranted expense given the extent of what we're doing.
If there is an old sewer main or an old water pipe in this location it was never utilized over the
last 20 plus years that it might have been in existence. It would be under sized and really not
useful to the existing subdivision. The only connection charge that I think we're having a waiver
of in lieu of a $25,000 payment is the connection at that location at Cartway then to the
watermain that comes from Hidden Creek Meadows. I think that's right. Not Hidden Creek
Meadows but.
Generous; Hidden Creek Estates.
Dean Carlson: Meadow Court. So I would like to have at least the option to look at that
potentially as a waived item in the future if we can. I mean I'm not sure what it's for. I don't
know if anybody in the room is aware of what it's for. It seems to have been put in place when
Cartway Lane was just made into a gravel road extension.
Sacchet: Are you talking about the thing in condition 26?
Dean Carlson: No, if you go back to page 9 under utilities.
Keefe: I think it's the same thing.
Saam: Same thing, yeah.
Sacchet: Oh, same amount yeah.
Dean Carlson: In this parcel the $25,000, I mean that parcel that that assessment is against has
about I think 5 lots total being created out of it's reed development. The hook-up charges would
be still being charged. They're recommending for still charging for hook-up charges to the water
and sewer mains which occurs each time a house is built on one of those new lots. But I guess
I'm looking for relief of an old assessment that seems unwarranted at this stage.
Sacchet: Do we know, is it an old assessment?
Saam: Yeah, yeah. It's an, I believe it's an old utility assessment for the sewer that serves the
whole area. It's basically an area charge because there's a lift station right there which serves
the, so we typically when these areas or parcels are platted then, that have existing assessments,
we want them paid in full at time of final plat. Now to what the developer said, if there are any
lots or houses, buildings that are currently connected to sewer, then those, the hook-up charges,
which you referred to that every new house pays, could be waived for the same amount of houses
that are currently on the site. For example, if there's 5 lots or 5 homes say that are hooked up to
sewer, then he could get a credit for say his first 5 lots in this property. They wouldn't have to
pay a hook-up charge.
Sacchet: Is that the type of thing you're asking for?
11
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
Dean Carlson: Well I mean to my knowledge the 4 parcels that we're acquiring to make this
development possible, none of the 4 existing structures are connected to any sewer utilities of
any sort so, and to my knowledge there's no line or watennain coming from the end of the
existing Cartway Lane to even the house that's part of this primary parcel that the assessment's
against which is, I'm sorry I don't have the address. But it is the Cartway Lane address. 6501 I
think is the house number.
Sacchet: Yeah, we normally don't go to the nitty gritty of these charges because they're usually
pretty standard so it's probably something that.
Saam: Yeah, we can review it before this goes to council. I'll get in contact with the developer
but I believe the large, the $25,000 number is for an area assessment. There's a benefit for
having sewer in your area that you can connect to. Whether you're connected to it or not doesn't
matter. You still have that benefit. That's what the 25 is for. In addition there's hook-up
charges if you are connected and that's what I'm saying you get a credit for. But we can meet
with them and discuss it before council.
Sacchet: Okay, we heard you.
Dean Carlson: Just wanted to touch on that topic. No other comments at this point unless you
have any questions of me.
Sacchet: Questions from the applicant. Kurt, you're grabbing a mic.
Papke: Yeah, on the city recommendation for 193 trees to be planted, do you have any issue
with adhering to that recommendation?
Dean Carlson: We have concerns on the basis of the original submission in November and
between then and today we were, it was a request of the city to obtain a tree surveyor a complete
count. That our calc's for the canopy coverage could still be utilized and we just have not since
received the recommendations of the Planning Commission tonight been able to go back and re-
do the calc. So we're not necessarily in agreement with the new number but we would hope to
meet with Jill St. Clair and reconfirm what that number should be. The over story trees is of
question. If you read this it says 190 I think 3 trees now. But does that also include the trees
being requested at the end of the new cul-de-sac at PiPewood Lane and Cartway? Or not include
those or are those in addition to the 193.
Papke: Do we know?
Generous: Yes. It would, any tree you provide on site would go towards meeting the total, even
those buffer trees at the end of the street. Condition 41 says we want to work with you and
confirm these numbers.
12
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
Dean Carlson: Yes, and we're in agreement there. The only other question would be on the
over story trees and if those were also in that count, and we assume that that would be the case.
It's just finding what that real number should be at the end of the day.
Larson: I just have a brief question regarding the species or the type of trees that... there was no
specification at the top of page 4. .. Is there going to be a variety of I mean hardwoods or pine
or?
Dean Carlson: We haven't compiled that list. Of course we would look to the City Forester
before we go to final plat and planning to make sure that we're creating a replacement schedule
that is acceptable to the city. It's what's there is a mix. There are some beautiful trees on the
property which we're trying to address but a lot of this location also is very old growth trees.
The assessment was done in the middle of winter and having been on the property during the
summer months I know that there's a lot of dead fall that hasn't been taken into account. We just
calculated what was standing.
Larson: Sort of weedy type trees and scrubby trees and stuff in old farmland type?
Dean Carlson: It's very old farmland. A lot of box elders and the example that was proposed on
re-changing the grades behind the walkout proposed lots in Block 2, the Forester went out and
identified that that section of potential salvage was in fact a lot of the scrubby stuff that really is
tired and basically half dead anyway. So I think when we're done with the tree canopy
replacement cales that we will have reforested you know a very nice new subdivision for 21
residents.
Larson: Alright, that's all I have.
Sacchet: Thanks. Jerry, any questions? Dan?
Keefe: I just want to place a similar question of you that I placed on Matt. Are you comfortable
that you know with the placement of the culvert and with the runoff that's going to be coming
into the development from the hardscape that you'll be putting in place, and you know the
creation of the new wetland and the movement of the wetland that the placement of these homes
will be unaffected by the height of the water in that area.
Dean Carlson: Well first let me ask, I'm not sure if my documentation of my summary of this
concerns was forwarded to you members. It's a letter, kind of an essay of the history of that site
that addresses, yes it was attached to your packages. If I start from the top to the bottom, and I
don't claim to be an engineer. Perry's my guy. We have city engineers, Matt and his
supervisors to look at this. You also have the city outsourcing wetland estimates for water from
SHW I think or I'm not sure who the city's engineering consultant is but that's been also looked
at. They gave us calculations for the flow under 7. But if you look at the 948 being this massive
threshold that we would have to meet in order to flood these homes, the 100 year water mark for
Minnewashta is 944, which is shown on the example. That would mean Minnewashta would
have to be a massive lake to be at 948 feet, a 4 feet higher elevation. Minnewashta Parkway
would be overrun with water and impassible in my estimation based on that elevation. What is
13
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15, 2005
in existence today sets the stage for a 943.5 in the southerly wetlands and a 942 in the south for
the high water marks at 110 year flood event. So I think we've met those criteria as best we can.
God forbid we all run into a massive 100 year flood event sometime after this is developed, but I
think we've taken those estimates into account. The 42 inch culvert at the recommendation of
the engineer, who was a participant also, my engineer, Perry Ryan, in the Hidden Creek Estates
development. The placement of both culverts and the up sizing in the original development of
Hidden Creek Estates to Hidden Creek Meadows, went from 36 inches which was recommended
to a 42 inch. We put it at the same elevation from this subdivision and location as it is in Hidden
Creek. And the change in grade is obviously minimal. From one site to the next. It's a very
slow flow through to Lake Virginia, so equally I'm concerned but I think the engineers have
addressed it as best that it can be. So I feel confident in the experts. If that's a response.
Keefe: That is. That's all I have.
Sacchet: Well you heard a little bit some of my concerns and you addressed them to some
extent. My main concern is the amount of grading and that really there's, and I want to thank
you for having made the tree survey right away. That helps a lot. In looking at the tree survey, I
mean there are some significant trees sprinkled around, more in the central part of this property
and a little bit on the western side. And I was hoping that it would be possible to save a couple
more except just those on the very periphery. You feel you've exhausted all possibilities because
I mean it's in your interest in the end too. I mean people like having trees and yes you plan on
planting a lot but they'll be little trees. At least for a while.
Dean Carlson: And I would agree. I'd love to save them all if I could, but I mean with the
requirements for pad site creation, with the 60 foot design pad width, depth, the reality of a 60
foot road right-of-way. If we could minimize that to 50 feet we might be able to save a few more
trees but I don't think that will happen. So given the extensive amount of work that it takes to
put this new road in, I don't think that there's a way that we can focus on trees centrally located
through the subdivision in order to facilitate putting in the right-of-way and getting the right
widths to allow for emergency vehicles and everything else. And believe me, I've walked the
site. I know there's a lot of beautiful trees yet on it that aren't dead fall, as we've talked about
earlier.
Sacchet: Right. You have to distinguish between them.
Dean Carlson: Yeah. But I think we've attempted, as best we can to salvage everything that's
salvageable.
Sacchet: And then my other concern was the Lot 7 in Block 2. Block 1. So same thing. You, I
would think you've probably tried all kinds of alternatives trying to.
Dean Carlson: Well, if you can recall, if you were here in November the original site plan there
had 10 lots. By reducing it to 9 on Block 1 we, you know reconfigured the lots to create Outlot
B to expand that tree preservation.
Sacchet: Right, the main difference is that Outlot B got created, right?
14
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
Dean Carlson: Yes. Outlot B being created, but also you know to not allow 8 to be some
monster parcel, the bubble cul-de-sac made sense. Made sense to the planning and so that's the
way we stuck with our design since November until today. So 7 being a little shallow, I
understand your concern but at the same time I don't think we're eliminating any trees in that
location.
Sacchet: Yeah, and as you pointed out you have a nice buffer beyond you.
Dean Carlson: Well beyond it, yes. The railway authority has set aside, I'm not sure the
distance from our back lines to the center of the park, or the trail, but I know there's still
probably I would assume a 30 foot. Perry, what is our right-of-way setback? I think it's 50 feet
actually. So there should be a strip of trees remaining in that corridor of 30 to 50 feet. Behind
these lots along Block 1. All to the north up against the trail.
Sacchet: Closer to 30 feet in looking at it. I would like to invite the residents, if you have
something to add beyond what was mentioned last time and what's new in front of us here, if
you want to comment, this is your opportunity to do so. If anybody wants to speak up, please
come forward. Seeing yes, I see somebody standing up. Please state your name and address for
the record.
Janet Paulsen: My name is Janet Paulsen and I live at 7305 Laredo Drive. I have a main
question about this cul-de-sac.
Sacchet: The easterly cul-de-sac. .
Janet Paulsen: Yes. According to my reading of the code, this creates double frontage lots here
which according to Chapter 18 isn't allowed by code. And so it would require a very strict
variance. It's one thing to have a development have a double frontage lot within it and the
person who's buying the lot knows what they're getting into but for someone who's already been
living on a single frontage lot and suddenly be faced with a double frontage lot, this is hardly
fair. Not what I want our code to ignore. So that's my main point. Thanks.
Sacchet: Thanks Janet. I like that point because I'm in the same boat with my own lot right now
but that's a different story. Actually I'm going to be triple fronted. Okay. Is that something
staff can address? I mean are we, I mean this cul-de-sac does touch the other property line so is
this.
Generous: We could pull it away. The alternative was to run the road through there. I don't
think they'd be pleased with having a comer lot there. Yeah, we can shift it so that they're
technically not touching. We can revise that so that the right-of-way meets at the right-of-way.
Sacchet: So basically, you're saying that one alternative is to actually pull it through there. I
don't know whether that's realistic. I mean it would basically touch the corner of the house there
to the north, wouldn't it?
15
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
Generous: And that house is built on next to the right-of-way.
McDonald: Yeah, currently isn't there already a double frontage there? The house at 3828.
Dean Carlson: Touches Cartway Lane.
McDonald: Right. There's already a double frontage there, and there is a right-of-way
supposedly that was put in at one time and I agree with you, you can't put a street in there.
Because at that point the distance between the houses, that's unacceptable. But I think all this
was in the plans. It's nothing different than what's currently there. Am I wrong on this?
Generous: Except for we're creating a bigger bubble in that back yard, and yes we could pull the
right-of-way to the west slightly so that the property lines sides up. If that is a design issue that
we want to resolve.
Sacchet: So are you saying we're not really creating a new double frontage. It already was
double frontage.
Generous: Well it's already, we're creating a bulb behind that one lot. It's already a corner lot.
We're connecting the right-of-way basically that's there. But instead of.
Sacchet: So technically we'd say, based on the planning in place, this was actually a corner lot
and it's kind of being shifted more into a double frontage type of situation through this.
Generous: Well it has a little bit of frontage on that corner.
Sacchet: Right.
Dean Carlson: There's also an existing structure there that I mean we abandoned going through
between those residents and doing a bubble cul-de-sac to eliminate a lot of.
Sacchet: Do you want to come up to the microphone?
Dean Carlson: When we, my name's Dean again. When we originally designed or expected to
design this plan, the Pipewood Lane would come through to Meadow Court and be a direct
access/exit to Church and to Highway 7. At staff's recommendation we terminated that
expectation of the original city planner in lieu of the positioning of these existing structures on an
old right-of-way that was only 50 feet. We're touching here the back of one lot that, I don't
know what our distance there is. Maybe 6 feet but I'm not sure what the legal right-of-way
would have to be to even put a driveway would I'm sure exceed.that so I'm not so sure we're
creating a double frontage that gives legal access for another driveway. Plus the grade change
here just for purposes of calculation. The cul-de-sac that we're building is almost 15 feet below
Meadow Court, so the reality of someone reversing the layout from that lot instead of from
Meadow Court to our new cul-de-sac would mean demo'ing a lot and building it into an uphill
environment.
16
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
McDonald: At that point it's not going to work because of the elevation. The garage up on the
court above is, as you say, it's about 15 feet above the back yard.
Dean Carlson: Yeah, it's between 10 and 15 feet to the next cul-de-sac elevation. Cartway Lane
was in existence long before I came tonight and I think we've eliminated any concerns and hap
hazards for the neighbors, the residents of Meadow Court and I'm not sure Bob, if you feel we
need to pull it off 6 inches, we can always do that but it seems that a double frontage here, in my
opinion, doesn't exist because what's the driveway width requirements just to put a driveway for
access to a street?
Generous: Well minimum's 10 feet.
Dean Carlson: But don't you have to have so many feet of frontage on that right-of-way in order
to create a street or an access?
Generous: Not as long as it touches but they already have a driveway. They would need a
variance for a second driveway.
Sacchet: So it wouldn't be straight forward definitely. And I guess you could also argue that,
having asked, being asked by staff to make a cul-de-sac you're actually have to use more space
to make a cul-de-sac in terms of grading.
Dean Carlson: It does create a larger radius and moving it at this point would create a lot of
changes in our calculations at this end of the street.
Sacchet: Yeah, I mean we're just exploring and doing justice to the comments we're getting.
We're not asking you to change this.
Keefe: Can I just ask a question in regards to the cul-de-sac? If we're going to have access up
the road going north, and I'm sorry it's Cartway or Cathcart, whatever that north/south one is,
what is the sort of functionality of that cul-de-sac? Is that there for emergency reasons or
because I'm thinking if somebody's actually going to drive up there to turn around and they see
this road there, are they just going to continue up that road?
Generous: That road would look like someone's driveway. It's not...
Keefe: Okay. Are we going to have any signage?
Saam: Yeah, I agree with the earlier comments. We can sign that. Emergency vehicles only,
yeah.
McDonald: Okay, I have a question about that because you've got residents living on that road.
You're going to have car traffic on there that is not emergency vehicle. You're going to create a
situation that becomes confusing as to who needs to get on there or not because I'd suggest do
not put the sign up. If the whole point is that that's going to go away and then become a trail,
17
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
leave it the way it is because it's not much of a road right now. It looks as though it's
somebody's driveway.
Saam: Yeah, those are good points and something we'll have to look at. I know currently the
residents they access, the only way they can to the north so I guess with this potentially yeah,
they may want to come from the south, I don't know but it's a good point that we'll have to look
into.
Keefe: And the question is why cul-de-sac versus just making it a road?
Saam: Turn around. We require a turn around.
Sacchet: At this point you need a turn around.
McDonald: For the plows?
Saam: Exactly.
Dean Carlson: Cartway Lane too is not, as spoken earlier, is not being maintained by the city
because of it's width. It's a 30 foot gravel, almost a private street, which would bring back
another topic for me is to, if it isn't maintained by the city and it isn't a public right-of-way, how
that $25,000 assessment would still be applicable but I just thought I'd touch on that.
Sacchet: We'll leave that one alone for now.
Dean Carlson: Was that good?
Sacchet: That was good.
Dean Carlson: Anyway, have we addressed the frontage? Double frontage.
Sacchet: Yes. Yes, thank you for your comment. Anybody else want to make a comment at this
point? Please state your name and address for the record.
Lisa Jewison: I'm Lisa Jewison and I live in the house that's going to be bound by the two cul-
de-sacs so we've heard of these concerns before that we're not happy with that layout. I guess
the question that I have, if we don't pull the cul-de-sac further west, and there's going to be trees
around this cul-de-sac, where are the trees going to be planted?
Sacchet: That's a good question. I wondered about that too. Can you address that? In the right-
of-way.
Generous: In the boulevard. They'd have to go in the boulevard. . .
Sacchet: In the boulevard. In the right-of-way. I mean the cul-de-sac doesn't come to the
property line. It's the right-of-way that comes to the property, so how much space is between?
18
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
Lisa Jewison: Because it doesn't really look like there's, it doesn't look like there's trees
necessarily planted within that boulevard anywhere else in that property so I guess I'm a little
confused about that.
Sacchet: Do you have a picture?
Dean Carlson: This graphic might be able to be zoomed in on. Right here if you see in a color
format there is quite a green space that would be within that boulevard between the actual hard
surface and the end of the lot line. Is that visible?
Sacchet: Yeah. Do you want to zoom in a little more Nann please.
Lisa Jewison: So it would be right in this...
Sacchet: Yeah, in that little strip.
Lisa Jewison: Alright. And the plan is to plant 9 trees in that little area? Is that, plus 3
ornamental. 9 evergreens and 3 ornamental right inbetween here and here?
Generous: Well along that edge, yes. We would work out the exact location in the field when
they get to that stage.
Lisa Jewison: Okay. Then the other question I have is, supposedly there's a right-of-way that
goes into the flat lot from there so where do the trees fall in relation to where the driveway's
going to be built along with the small little area here for about 12 trees to be planted. I'm
confused by that. Because it looks like...
Sacchet: Do we actually have plantings along the flag lot driveway? Do we get involved with
that?
Generous: You can if you want to add a condition.
Sacchet: At this point we don't have something but we could add something.
Generous: We could add something if that was something that you wanted to approve the
variance for the flag. It's a reasonable condition. I know for Hidden Creek we did on the private
street that served two lots, we provided landscaping between the paved surface and the edge of
the property. Remember this is only a driveway for a single home so it's a minimum 10 feet and
a maximum, what is it? 30 feet wide but it has to maintain some setbacks from the side so there
is area to do it.
Sacchet: So there is room to plant and we could potentially ask for it as part of the flag lot
vanance.
Generous: Right.
19
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15, 2005
Sacchet: Okay. That's a good answer.
Lisa Jewison: And then I guess the last point is on the gravel road here.
Sacchet: Cartway.
Lisa Jewison: Yeah, Cartway. That is not going to be looked as a driveway to somebody's
home. I mean it's a through street. You can see straight down that street. You can see it
connects to the park and people are going to be using that so if there's any opening there, you
know you talked about the break away gate and how you didn't want to go that route, but people
will be using it to get to the north side. We see a lot of shortcuts going through our residential
streets already so I just wanted to make that point.
Sacchet: Okay. Question of staff. I mean it could be signed not through or not a through way or
what are our options?
Saam: It's going to be tough with the local traffic there, which Commissioner McDonald
brought up. We'll have to think about that one.
Sacchet: Okay, so something to work with staff basically.
Saam: Yeah.
Larson: I mean could they come up with some sort of a break away post or something that just
discourages people that like if they were walking or something, they could cut through there. I
mean do you have a problem with pedestrian type traffic or it's more the cars?
Lisa Jewison: No, more the cars yeah.
Sacchet: We have a family gathering. Did you want to add something too?
Jeff Jewison: Yeah, Ijust wanted to add my two cents on the one point. I'm glad Mrs. Paulson
brought that up because I brought it up a number of times and it didn't seem to go anywhere so I
thought maybe I was wrong but yeah, with the cul-de-sac being on, or our property then being on
two cul-de-sacs, it just kind of you end up with two front yards. Just kind of seemed weird. You
lose that privacy or the feel of a back yard.
Larson: How long have you been there?
Jeff Jewison: Just about 2 years.
Lisa Jewison: Yeah, not even.
Jeff Jewison: Not even. Year and a half.
20
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
Lisa Jewison: Little bit over a year. We moved in November, 2003.
Jeff Jewison: Yeah, we were told that that land back there could not get developed ever. We
were obviously lied to but.
Larson: You might want to talk to that person.
Jeff Jewison: Yeah I know but yeah, it's my only two cents. But we would rather, obviously
have that than the road connecting the two cul-de-sacs but if that cul-de-sac can get moved back
or obviously anything would be better than having two front yards.
Sacchet: Thank you.
Lisa Jewison: Thank you.
Sacchet: Question. I mean is it possible to pull that cul-de-sac back a little bit? I mean be a
relatively small tweak or would that be a big deal?
Saam: It could be done. We'd have to look at the issues.
Sacchet: I mean we're not talking about.
Saam: You have the existing right-of-way there so, and to keep the uniform radius we'll have to
look.
Sacchet: And it could be pulled back and still give adequate connection to the flag lot on
Cartway?
Saam: Yeah.
Sacchet: That seems to be possible. You want to add something to this? Go ahead.
Dean Carlson: I appreciate the couple's concerns. Mrs. Jewison, I'm sorry? If we looked at the
tree canopy coverage. I'm not sure which one that is. I would focus again up in this corner
where the existing cul-de-sac is being proposed. Where the new cul-de-sac is being proposed. I
mean the alternative here is, again reminding everyone present that the city's design was for this
road to connect to Meadow Court. And staff and myself and Perry of Ryan Engineering looked
at this quite extensively. We're dealing with a 50 foot right-of-way which will now be
abandoned to the benefit of both property owners that are affected. We're not proposing going
through to Meadow Court which would be the ultimate alternative for the city. If you look at the
tree coverage in this area, currently there are no trees in èxistence for several hundred feet and so
I'm not in disagreement that when we get to replanting the 193 trees, or whatever the count is,
that we consider reforesting this portion of the site with some of that tree count. I'd hate to be
held to a higher standard where we're increasing that to create a buffer that doesn't currently
exist or to replace something that doesn't exist.
21
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
Sacchet: Well yeah we could argue that right now it's not a street so you're not buffering
because you see...
Dean Carlson: Well there is a street here currently. Don't forget the Cartway Lane does come
through it, only it does service the one property, which has had minimal use for many years with
it's existing owners and residents.
Sacchet: Okay, I see your point.
Dean Carlson: The artery has always been in place. What we're doing is redirecting traffic.
We're creating a dead end rather than a through street that is part of the original city's plan.
Sacchet: And you are adding significant buffer plantings, I hear you.
Dean Carlson: And our grade elevation is well below the elevation of street at Meadow Court so
headlights and things hitting that cul-de-sac for 2 or 3 residents that are at the end should be
minimized just based on the elevation. It's not that we're at the same plane or where those will
be coming in to windows and that kind of environment.
Sacchet: Okay. Thank you. Anybody else want to address this from the resident side?
Dale Keehl: My name is Dale Keehl. I live at 3841 West 62nd Street which is right up here on
the corner of Cartway and 62nd. And I guess my concern is traffic again. That people will try
and use it but if this is going to be used for emergency, the city doesn't maintain it or plow it and
this last lot here, the driveway is about here so there's going to be 60-70 feet that won't be
plowed. So if we have a lot of snow, how is an emergency vehicle going to get to that cul-de-sac
if it isn't plowed? Right now we have people that live on there that plow it, but like I say, it's the
city sewer runs under the street but they don't maintain it and it's, I don't know what the width
it's supposed to be but it's, two cars can't meet on it.
Sacchet: So are you suggesting it'd be better if the city would maintain?
Dale Keehl: Well I'mjust saying if they're going to want it for emergency use, it's going to
have to be so a truck can, a fire truck can get through it. Or a police or an ambulance.
Sacchet: It's hard enough to drive with a small car when I tried it.
Dale Keehl: So they're going to have to connect somehow so they can get through there. And if
it's connected for an emergency vehicle to get through, people are going to use it to go out that
north end because that, to get onto Highway 7 sometimes is ridiculous and if you were going to
go towards Yellowstone Trail or to the elementary school or whatever, they're going to use that
road because it's easier than going out on Highway 7. So that's my main concern is I have 3
families that live, that pass by my house and now there's going to be a lot more traffic. Plus the
people come down to use the park. They come down that road and park on the grass. They
don't park up in the parking lot when they're going to use the tennis courts and stuff but, or the
basketball courts and that. They always park along the street on the grass, which it's park land I
22
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
guess. Nothing we can say but our road already gets used for that. So it's just a concern that
there is going to be more usage on that road, whether you think so or not.
Sacchet: Okay, thank you. You want to address that please?
Dean Carlson: I guess I would go back to, it would appear that all the neighbors in the area
would agree that Cartway Lane has been the abandoned street in this part of Chanhassen. Part of
that is maybe that from 62nd Street I believe the city transitions to another city, so it is a dead end
street that is in Chanhassen but isn't serviced by streets in Chanhassen, am I correct?
Dale Keehl: Right.
Dean Carlson: The 62nd line Chanhassen or is that Victoria?
Dale Keehl: 62nd is Hennepin County's road.
Keefe: Shorewood.
Dean Carlson: It's the transition between two cities. I guess in just a brief conversation and
maybe the simplest thing to do here is to create a termination. I think most people generally who
drive on asphalt streets wouldn't bypass emergency vehicle signs posted at either side ofthis
bridge type gravel event that would take you from the cul-de-sac to Cartway Lane but if need be
we could design two 6 by 6 posts with a break away plastic chain. Creates a buffer on something
that the city then would have to maintain but it was also pointed out to me very recently, the fire
department that would service this location is just on the south side of 7 and the corner of
Minnewashta Parkway and when an emergency vehicle goes into Highway 7 they have the right-
of-way and they will probably take the asphalt road in if there were a fire in this subdivision, so
they're going to take a left on 7 and enter on Pipewood Lane off of 7 logically. The only time
this might be used is if an emergency vehicle, ambulance or other you know got lost. Realized
that there was a point of access maybe coming down Cartway Lane and feeling the need to get to
Pipewood in the reverse fashion rather than as an exit. So it's of interest. I think this is
something that we can address with the Planning Commission after this evening and design
something that is a, not maybe a break away gate that would be obstruction ominous kind of
looking and not appealing.
Sacchet: Something a little more.
Dean Carlson: But something that's going to keep a pedestrian vehicle from trying to migrate
over that location. Okay?
Sacchet: Okay. Thank you. Alright, anybody else want to address that before we move on?
Seeing nobody I'll bring it back tp the commission. Discussion. Comments. Kurt, you want to
start?
Papke: You seem to be going left to right tonight so what the heck.
23
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
Sacchet: Might as well keep that pattern here one more time.
Papke: In general I'm very supportive of this. I think the developer has made a very good effort
with the elimination of the 2 lots. The change in the drainage situation. The way the lots been
laid out so I think this is a much improved plan. I'm very happy to see, when we saw this for the
first time, this was just ripe with issues and I think we've addressed most the issues so. I'd be in
support of this as long as we address some of the screening and, you know landscape screening
on the east side. I'm good to go.
Sacchet: Thanks Kurt. Anything you want to add Debra?
Larson: No. Basically it does look like this developer has really gone to a lot of trouble to make
this very nice neighborhood. As far as the flood issues, I think those have been addressed to my
satisfaction. You know as far as Cartway Road goes, the bit that I did read about I guess from
your previous meeting, the minutes, the gentleman that owns the property adjacent to that, I think
it's over here.
Sacchet: On the north, yeah.
Larson: You know he's willing to work with the city as well to try and work out whatever will
be best for that road in the future so I guess, you know I think that I'm basically.
Sacchet: You're fine with it?
Larson: Thank you. Been a long day.
Sacchet: I know how that goes. Thanks Debra. Jerry.
McDonald: Well I actually went out to the site on this one and I went from the east to the west,
north to the south. I walked up and down the trail. Did go back on Cartway. Looked at that area
back there. Went up on the circle above. You know did the look through all that. I'm in favor
of the plan as is. A lot of what's come up today about Cartway I w()uld not want to see in there
as a condition but I do think it needs to be addressed. The developer has expressed a willingness
to address it with us but the thing is right now I'm afraid that we're looking at too quick of a fix
to a problem that mayor may not be there and there may be a better solution that with time we
can come up with. I also believe that in looking through all this, that's not going to be a problem
much longer. It is going to go away. The gentleman did bring up a good point about if that's
going to be an emergency egress, what about snow plows. Again that's why I think it needs to
be looked at separately. We're not going to solve that today but I think the plan that's in there is
very good. And I did go back and look at Outlot B and I wasn't here in November but I don't
see how you could have put a house back there because it looks like all the water funnels in that
area back there and anybody that would have been living back there would have been very, very
wet. Because I followed the creek all the way back through there and it was kind of wet this
weekend so, that was a good solution to do what you ended up doing there. Other than that, the
issues to the south I think some of that may lie with the state about the culvert under Highway 7.
I'm not sure who's responsible for that. If that were to get clogged up. It does become a dam
24
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
and at that point you could probably reach the high water mark rather quickly. You wouldn't
need a 100 year flood so I'm not sure who's responsible but that is a concern but I don't think
it's the developer's. And then looking at the rest of this, again the flow of the water through the
development. The 42 inch culvert. I did look at that. You've got grates over it right now. That
does seem to be adequate as far as letting water through there. The size of the culverts
themselves were fairly large and you've got the metal grates to protect against debris coming in
there. Unless trees start falling down, we start you know damming it up that way but I don't
think that's going to happen. So the possibility of that becoming stuck I think isn't going to
happen. I'd like to see the same culvert as you put into the development. Same design and I
think it will solve the problem. And with going with 42 inch, I believe you're probably going to
do that. Some of the other comments about the closeness to the road. I actually went out there
and 3891, whatever that road is right there. That backs up right onto 7. So that the houses in the
development to the east are a lot closer to 7 than the development here. I mean otherwise I think
they put together a gooq plan that addressed all the issues from November and I would be in
favor of it as is. That's all I have.
Sacchet: Thanks Jerry. Dan.
Keefe: Brief comments. I'm in support of this plan. I would like to see the, I think the
developer's done a great job in working through the issues. I would have liked to see him or
them work with the residents in regards to buffering and to make sure the buffering, particularly
on that east side works out to their satisfaction. It seems like we've got some pretty good
discussion going on here and I'd like to see that continued so that they get comfortable. And I'm
nervous about the wetlands and all the changes which are going on there and the potential for
you know it seems like you know we're getting greater and greater swings in regards to the
amount of water which affects areas and I'm concerned about that but I have to go with the
professionals who really looked at this and the developer who's also you know stated his case in
regards to that. But overall I'm in support of this.
Sacchet: Thanks Dan. I don't have too much more to add... to my questions and concerns
earlier. It's a little bit bittersweet. I do want to thank you for having some certainly due
diligence. We gave up 2 lots to accommodate our concerns that we mentioned in November
when you were here. And at that time I went out there and looked at it and I have to agree that a
lot of these trees are probably better taken out. And at the same time I do regret that it isn't
possible to save a few more and it looks like staff made an additional effort today to look at
whether something could be changed with the type of houses, and it turned out that's not the case
which I find disappointing. But I would think that it would help to have like a planting schedule
or a landscape plan before this goes to council, like we had the question that came up about what
kind of species. I think Debra you asked about that. To have a little bit an idea where those goes
also in the context of the buffering to the east side. The east neighbors. I really can feel the
concern of those east neighbors being sort of sandwiched between two cul-de-sacs, which is far
better though I would think than having the road go through and getting good accommodation
with buffering I think will help the issue. I would suggest for us as a Planning Commission to
put in a condition that the developer work with staff to add some additional buffering also along
the driveway to the flag lots, since the flag lot is a concession that we're making from the city
side, so I think it's balanced to ask for something extra in that context to help mitigate that
25
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15, 2005
aspect. It's a bit of a give and take there. I think that's not more than fair, which again will
benefit the immediate neighbors there to the east. Which we want to do what we can to keep
everybody happy obviously. And the same thing with Cartway Lane. I don't see that we should
be specific as you expressed Jerry, in terms of making of conditions. Basically ask that the
applicant work with staff to further look at the situation with Cartway Lane in terms of the
maintenance issue. In terms of the traffic concern that was mentioned by some of the residents
there. And also in terms of the width. I mean I drove it in November and I mean it's, you have
bushes scratching your car even if it's not a truck so it's something that needs to be looked at. I
mean that doesn't quite add up right yet and it may not have to add up totally again because it's a
temporary solution so don't think it's something that we have to go too far with but it needs to be
looked at a little bit further. So that's my comments and I support it in that framework so I'd like
to ask whether somebody wants to venture a motion here please.
Papke: Mr. Chair, I make a motion that the Planning Commission recommends preliminary plat
approval for a subdivision with a variance for a flag lot, plans prepared by Ryan Engineering
dated August 20,2004, revised October 14,2004, and January 14, 2005, subject to conditions 1
through 55 as amended by staff, with one change to condition number 48. I'd like condition
number 48 changed, after the words Pipewood Lane, and along the east boundary of Lot 12,
Block 2. And at the end of this condition I would like to add, along the cul-de-sac and along the
east side of the flag lot maintaining planting density of the cul-de-sac along the east border.
Sacchet: Excellent. Any second for this?
Keefe: Second.
Sacchet: Do we have any friendly amendments? So you covered the plantings. Do we say
something that asks for a landscaping plan before this goes to council?
Generous: Yes.
Sacchet: Is that in there?
Generous: Well not before council. It says before final plat approval.
Keefe: That's number 43.
Sacchet: 43. A landscape plan.
Generous: On page 15.
Sacchet: Yeah, I guess that covers that concern. Do you want to say something about work with
staff on Cartway Lane? Something to the effect, developer will work with staff to further
establish the functionality of Cartway Lane. Is that acceptable?
Papke: That's pretty fuzzy.
26
Planning Commission Meeting - February 15,2005
Sacchet: Well I'm not trying to be very specific on purpose here.
Papke: Okay, to resolve access.
Sacchet: Resolve access to Cartway Lane.
Papke: Yeah. Yes, that's acceptable.
Sacchet: Issues in the context of access to Cartway Lane. Okay. Alright. That would take care
of that one as far as I'm concerned. We have a motion, we have a second.
Papke moved, Keefe seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of

LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING:
The City's discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat is limited to whether or not the
proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning
Ordinance. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. This is a
quasi judicial decision.
The City's discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the
proposed project meets the standards in the Subdivision Ordinance for a variance. The City
has a relatively high level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a
deviation from established standards. This is a quasi judicial decision.

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The developer is requesting subdivision approval to create a 21-lot subdivision with two outlots
containing wetland and creek as well as the proposed storm water pond and right-of-way for the
extension of Pipewood Lane and a small cul-de-sac. One lot, located on the eastern edge of the
development, is proposed as a flag lot for which a variance is being requested. Previously, the
developer submitted a 23-10t subdivision for review, which was tabled by the Planning Commission
on November 16, 2004 for revisions to the plat.
The property is located in an area that is zoned Single-Family Residential, RSF District. The
property to the east was developed with single-family homes as part of the Minnewashta Meadows
subdivision. The property to the south is being developed with single-family homes as part of the
Hidden Creek of Chanhassen development. In the future, the land in the northeast corner of the
development has subdivision potential and would provide a public street connection to West 62nd
Street.
A large wetland complex is located in the southern portion of the property, which is located within
proposed Outlot A. A creek from Lake Minnewashta to Lake Virginia traverses the southern
portion of the property. The site has scattered areas of woodlands with canopy coverage of only
nine percent. The site slopes from the north to the south with a high elevation of 970 in the north-
central portion of the project, adjacent to the regional trail, and a low point of 938 at the creek.
Sewer and water service is available at the end of Pipewood Lane. The watermain is being looped
to Meadow Court.
The proposed development complies with all the requirements of the RSF district regulations and is
consistent with the comprehensive plan. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed
development subject to the conditions of the staff report.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Chapter 18, Article III, Design Standards
Chapter 20, Article VI, Wetland Protection
Chapter 20, Article XII, "RSF" Single-Family Residential District
BACKGROUND
These properties were originally platted as part of Schmid's Acre Tracts in 1914 at which time the
right-of-way for Cartway Lane was dedicated. There are four existing homes with outbuildings on
the site. Three of the homes are currently accessed via Astor Trail in Victoria. The other home is
accessed via Cartway Lane. The property to the east of the site, Minnewashta Meadows, was
platted in 1988. The property to the southwest of the site, Hidden Creek of Chanhassen, was platted
in 2003.
On November 16,2004, this project was tabled for revisions to the plat in response to staff and
Planning Commission comments.

PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
Comprehensive Park Plan
The proposed Hidden Creek Meadows is located very near Cathcart Park. Cathcart Park is a
neighborhood park owned by the City of Shorewood, but located within the corporate boundaries
of Chanhassen. Convenient access to the park is provided by the proposed sidewalk connection
along Pipewood Lane connecting with Cartway Lane. No parkland dedication is recommended
as a condition of this plat. Full park fees shall be collected at the rate in force at the time of final
plat. Park fees for 2005 are $4,000.00 per single-family lot. Since there are currently four
single-family homes within the development site, park fees will be required for 17 of the 21 lots.
Comprehensive Trail Plan
This property abuts the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority Light Rail Transit
Corridor. Currently this corridor is managed by Three Rivers Park District as a regional trail
with an aggregate surface. Access to the trail from Hidden Creek Meadows is provided by the
proposed sidewalk connections to Pipewood Court and Cartway Lane. No additional trail
construction is recommended as a condition of this plat.
LANDSCAPING AND TREE PRESERVATION
The applicant has submitted tree canopy coverage and preservation calculations for the Hidden
Creek Estates development. They are as follows:
Total upland area (excluding wetlands)
Total canopy area (excluding wetlands)
Baseline canopy coverage
Minimum canopy coverage allowed
Proposed tree preservation
13.12 ac or 571,866 SF
1.18 ac or 51,726 SF
9%
25% or 142,967 ac.
0% or 0 ac.
Developer does not meet minimum canopy coverage allowed and is proposing to remove all
trees on site, excluding those located within a wetland or wetland buffer and setback area. The
removal of the existing 9% canopy coverage will be penalized by requiring replacement
plantings at a rate of 1.2 times the existing coverage.
Difference in canopy coverage
Multiplier
Total replacement
Total number of trees to be planted
51,726 SF
1.2
62,071 SF
57 trees
Additionally the developer must bring the total canopy coverage for the site from 9% up to the
required 25%. The calculations are as follows.
Difference between existing and required coverage 16% or 2.1 acres
Number of trees required for 25% coverage 84 trees
Planning Commission
Hidden Creek Meadows-Planning Case No. 04-31
February 15, 2005
Page 4
A total of 141 trees are required for this development. The applicant's landscape plan proposes
141 trees, but fails to specify the quantity of each species proposed. The landscape plan plant
schedule shall be revised to reflect this.
After reviewing the tree inventory and a site visit, staff recommends the following tree canopy
coverage and preservation calculations:
Total upland area (excluding wetlands)
Total canopy area (excluding wetlands)
Baseline canopy coverage
Minimum canopy coverage allowed
Estimated tree preservation
13.12 ac or 571,866 SF
5.9 ac or 258,631 SF
45%
35 % or 200,153 SF
4 % or 25,000 SF
Developer does not meet minimum canopy coverage allowed and is required to calculate
replacement plantings at a rate of 1.2 times the existing coverage.
Difference in canopy coverage
Multiplier
Total replacement
Total number of trees to be planted
175,153 SF
1.2
210,184 SF
193 trees
This total differs from the applicant's total by 52 trees. Staff recommends that the applicant
confirm the tree canopy coverage and preservation calculations.
Bufferyard requirements are as shown in the table:
Landsca in Item
Bufferyard B* - South
property line, 260'
Re uired
3 overs tory trees
5 understory trees
5 shrubs
Pro osed
6 overs tory trees
13 understory trees
existing vegetation
The applicant meets the minimum requirements for the bufferyard. No existing vegetation shall
be removed for the planting of the bufferyard. Any existing trees removed shall be replaced at a
rate of 2: 1 diameter inches.
Tree preservation within the development, with the exception of Outlot B, is minimal. Lots 2-8,
Block 2 require extensive grading to produce walk-out style homes. All of these lots are wooded
and within this area are many significant oaks and maples. After reviewing the grading plans,
staff has determined that the grading limits on Lot 2, block 2 are incorrect. To match grades the
limits would need to expand into the middle of Lot 1. As it is, however, a small group of maples
12" and larger are being saved by the proposed grading plan. Staff recommends that these
grading limits remain as is and the developer adapt to the existing plan as necessary.
Regarding the proposed landscape plan, staff recommends that any plantings occurring on
Outlots A or B be field located and that no existing vegetation be removed or compromised for
the planting of new trees. Staff also recommends that landscaping be installed at the end of the
Planning Commission

Pipewood Lane around the cul-de-sac. Evergreens, shrubs and ornamentals shall be installed so
as to reduce headlight glare and buffer views of the street from the existing homes. The
applicant shall remove Colorado blue spruce from the plant schedule and replace it with white fir
or a species of pine.
WETLANDS
Existing Wetlands
One wetland basin was delineated on December 8,2003 by Wetland and Wildlife Consulting,
Inc. The delineated wetland located along the southern portion of the property has been
classified as a Type 3 wetland with Type 1 characteristics around the wetland perimeter.
Vegetation within the wetland boundary included reed canary grass and river bulrush.
Proposed Wetland Impacts and Mitigation
Proposed impacts to the wetland include the filling of 5,756 square feet of wetland to
accommodate a connection to Pipewood Lane and the installation of a 42" culvert within Hidden
Creek, a DNR protected creek. There is grading proposed within the wetland on Lot 10, Block
2. This wetland impact is avoidable and should be eliminated. The grading on Lots 10-12,
Block 2 should be revised to avoid grading within the wetland.
Mitigation of filling activities is planned by creating 7,420 square feet of created wetland area
(New Wetland Credit) and 4,317 square feet of credit for on-site storm water ponding (Public
Value Credit).
The applicant should create a five-year maintenance and monitoring plan for new wetland
construction to ensure proposed wetland functions and values are obtained and non-native
vegetation does not encroach into the mitigation area. The monitoring plan should include the
preparation of annual reports as required by the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act.
Wetland Buffers
Wetland buffer widths of 16.5 feet to 20.0 feet must be maintained around all wetlands on-site.
All structures must maintain a 40-foot setback from wetland buffer edge. Wetland buffers and
wetland buffer setbacks should be shown on the grading plan. Wetland buffer areas should be
preserved, surveyed and signed in accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. The applicant
should install wetland buffer edge signs, under the direction of City staff, before construction begins
and will pay the City $20 per sign.
CREEK
The DNR protected creek running from Lake Minnewashta to Lake Virginia runs through the
site. This creek was heavily impacted during the course of the Hidden Creek Estates subdivision.
The applicant should develop detailed plans (including an erosion and sediment control plan) for
the installation of the culvert at Pipewood Lane. A winter installation of this culvert is
preferable. A professionally engineered temporary diversion of the stream through a stable
Planning Commission
Hidden Creek Meadows-Planning Case No. 04-31
February 15, 2005
Page 6
channel during culvert installation is an acceptable alternative. The applicant should
demonstrate that the installation of the 42" proposed culvert at Pipewood Lane will not cause
water to back up through the existing 4' by 6' culvert under Highway 7 to the south side of
Highway 7 in 10 and 100-year storms. All structures should maintain a minimum 50-foot
setback from the ordinary high water level of the creek.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT
Storm Water Ponding
The plan proposes the construction of a storm water pond in the south-central portion of the
project. The applicant should submit calculations to ensure that the pond is sufficient to provide
water quality treatment to NURP standards for storm water from the development.
The City's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) cites regional treatment areas of more than
20 acres and less than 60 acres as the most efficient and cost effective way to keep pollutants and
nutrient loading to undeveloped levels. The SWMP shows a portion of a regional pond on this
property. The proposed storm water pond should be designed to accommodate storm water from
the upstream areas of the MC-A2.6 subwatershed. Credit for ponding and oversizing will be
provided as outlined in the "Surface Water Management Credit" section of this report.
Easements
Drainage and utility easements should be provided over all existing wetlands, wetland mitigation
areas, and storm water infrastructure. Easements must be at least 20 feet in width to allow access
for inspection and maintenance.
Erosion Control
Erosion control blanket should be installed on all slopes greater than or equal to 3: 1. All exposed
soil areas shall have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover year-round, according to
the following table of slopes and time frames:
Time
Type of Slope (maximum time an area can remain unvegetated
when area is not actively bein!; worked)
Steeper than 3: 1 7 Days
10:1 to 3:1 14 Days
Flatter than 10: 1 21 Days
These areas include constructed storm water management pond side slopes, 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 man made systems that
discharge to a surface water.
Daily scraping and sweeping of public streets should be completed anytime construction site soil,
mud, silt or rock is tracked or washed onto paved surfaces or streets that would allow tracked
materials or residuals of that material to enter the storm water conveyance system.

Surface Water Mana2ement Fees
Water Quality Fees
Because of the impervious surface associated with this development, the water quality fees for
this proposed development are based on single-family residential development rates of
$1,093/acre. Based on the proposed developed area of approximately 11.94 acres, the water
quality fees associated with this project are $13,050.
Water Quantity Fees
The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average
citywide rate for the installation of water quality systems. This cost includes land acquisition,
proposed SWMP culverts, open channels, and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage.
Single-family residential developments have a connection charge of $2,705 per developable acre.
This results in a water quantity fee of approximately $32,298 for the proposed development.
Surface Water Management Credit
The subdivision will be given a credit for on-site storm water quality improvements that are
designed to treat runoff from the subdivision to NURP standards. The credit will be calculated
using the following formula: The per acre water quality connection charge will be multiplied by
the on-site drainage area for water quality treatment facilities. This value will then be multiplied
by 50%. The subdivision will also be given a credit for on-site storm water quality
improvements that are oversized to treat runoff from property outside the subdivision to NURP
standards. The credit will be calculated using the following formula: The per acre water quality
connection charge will be multiplied by the off-site drainage area for water quality treatment
facilities. This value will then be multiplied by 50%. Credit will not be granted if the storm
water from contributing off-site areas is already treated to NURP standards. The water quality
connection charges that correspond to the land uses that contribute to the storm water ponds will
be used to calculate credits. Credit will also be given for the installation of outlet control
structures.
At this time, the estimated total SWMP fee, due payable to the City at the time of final plat
recording is $45,348.
Other Agencies
The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies (e.g.,
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, United States Army
Corps of Engineers) and comply with their conditions of approval.
GRADING. DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL
The plans propose to grade about 75% of the site for the 21 new house pads, proposed street
ending with a cul-de-sac, and a storm water pond. The proposed grading will prepare the site for
Planning Commission
Hidden Creek Meadows-Planning Case No. 04-31
February 15,2005
Page 8
full basement, lookout, and walkout-type dwellings. The plan proposes a retaining wall in the
back yard of Lot 7, Block 1. It appears the wall will be approximately six feet in height. The
applicant should be aware that any retaining wall over 4 feet will require a building permit and
must be designed by a Minnesota Registered Professional Structural Engineer. Also, the
retaining wall must be 20 feet off the back of the building pad to provide adequate area for a
backyard and deck.
The existing site drains to a wetland along the south side of the parcel. Under developed
conditions, the street, front yards and most of the house roofs and rear yard drainage will be
conveyed via storm sewer to a proposed storm water pond for treatment prior to discharging to
the existing wetland. The proposed development will be required to meet the existing
stormwater runoff rates for the 10- and 100-year, 24-hour storm events. The applicant has done
a good job of attempting to preserve the existing drainage pattern of the wetland on the site
through the use of a storm sewer culvert. Where the proposed street has bisected the wetland,
the culvert will act as a conduit and allow the water to flow as it would under existing conditions.
According to the City's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP), the proposed culvert must be
a minimum size of 36-inches in diameter to facilitate proper drainage through the site. The
developer is proposing a 42-inch diameter culvert under the road, which exceeds the minimum
size requirement. By oversizing the culvert, the developer is being conservative and helping to
ensure that the drainage will flow freely through the site.
There is an area in the rear yard of Lot 9, Block 1 that will need to be revised to prevent trapping
water behind the curb. Either a catch basin will need to be added or the area will have to be re-
graded with a minimum slope of 2% to drain from the rearyard to the street. Also, staff
recommends that the existing culvert across the street from Lot 9, Block 2 be incorporated into
the storm sewer for Pipewood Lane.
Staff has received drainage calculations for the development and only minor revisions are
necessary. The proposed pond is required to be designed to National Urban Runoff Program
(NURP) standards. The storm sewer will have to be designed for a lO-year, 24-hour storm
event. Drainage and utility easements will need to be dedicated on the final plat over the public
storm drainage system including the pond, drainage swales, and wetlands up to the 100-year
flood level. The minimum utility easement width must be 20 feet wide.
To help address concerns raised at the initial Public Hearing for this development, the applicant
has submitted a drainage exhibit for the area in and around the development. This exhibit shows
topography and critical HWL (high water level) elevations for the ponds and wetlands on the
development site and upstream/downstream of the site. The HWL of the wetlands on the exhibit
are from the City's SWMP plan. Most importantly, the exhibit shows the HWL of the wetland
on the south side of TH 7. This wetland is upstream of the development site and was one of the
areas of concern raised by the public at the last Public Hearing. The exhibit lists the HWL of the
wetland as 943.4 which, based on the topography on the exhibit, is 4+ feet lower than any of the
adjacent homes. In order for any of these homes to flood, the stormwater in the wetland would
have to rise up past elevation 948 which would also begin to flood Minnewashta Parkway.
The applicant has included silt fence around the grading perimeter. Adjacent to the pond and
wetlands, silt fence type II must be used. A 75-foot minimum rock construction entrance has
Planning Cornmission

Page 9
been shown at the street entrance to the site. In addition, an erosion control blanket will be
required for the steep slopes along the north property line of the site. The applicant should be
aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property owner.
All disturbed areas must be sodded or seeded and mulched within two weeks of grading
completion.
UTILITIES
Municipal sewer and water service is available to the site from existing mains, which run along
the eastern property line and from Pipewood Lane on the southwest corner of the parcel. The
applicant is proposing to extend sewer and water lines along the proposed streets to service the
proposed lots. The watermain will be looped through the site to avoid stagnant water issues.
According to the City's Finance Department records, there is a remaining assessment balance of
$25,477.05 on the parcel. This balance is required to be paid at the time of final plat recording.
Since the developer will be responsible for extending lateral sewer and water mains, the sanitary
sewer and water connection charges will be waived. However, the sanitary sewer and water
hookup charges will still be applicable for each lot. The 2005 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 for
sanitary sewer and $2,955 for watermain. Each of these charges is based on the number of SAC
units calculated by the Metropolitan Council. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be
specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance.
Public utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest
edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Detailed construction plans and
specifications must be submitted at the time of final plat for staff review. The applicant is
required to finance all of the proposed improvements. The applicant will also be required to
enter into a development contract with the City and to supply the necessary financial security in
the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee installation of the improvements and the
conditions of final plat approval. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies must be
obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA, Department of Health, MnDOT, etc.
STREETS
The plans propose to extend Pipewood Lane, as the main road, approximately 1300 feet within
the site. The public streets are shown within a 60-foot right-of-way, as per City ordinance along
with street pavement widths of 31-feet back-to-back and a 45.5-foot radius on the cul-de-sac.
Due to the long length of the proposed cul-de-sac and the practice of having two connections
int%ut of developments, staff is recommending that the existing gravel road known as Cartway
Lane be connected to the proposed cul-de-sac at the eastern border of the site. This will be an
interim connection until the properties to the north develop and Cartway Lane is vacated.

Flag lots are appropriate when the configuration of the property, natural features and abutting
development make it unfeasible or inappropriate to construct a public street. The subdivision
regulations, section 18-60 (a) states that "all lots shall abut for their full required minimum frontage
on a public street as required by the zoning ordinance; or by a private street; or a flag lot which shall
have a minimum of thirty (30) feet of frontage on a public street". Had this property and the
property to the east developed concurrently, a public street could have been extended south from
Cartway Lane with lots on both the east and west sides of the street. However, the property to the
east was developed previously with access from Meadow Lane. The use of the flag lots creates a
large lot which can be developed without encroaching in to the wetland area.

In order to more easily preserve wetlands, the City has required that wetlands be included within
Outlots. The plat has been revised to include most of the wetland within Outlot A. This reduces the
potential for residents to inadvertently impact the wetlands due to alterations to their property. Lot
1, Block 1, has been revised to exclude the creek and adjacent wetland. The wetland that protrudes
in to Lots 9 and 10, Block 2, had previously be included in the rear yard of one lot. By splitting the
wetland along the side lot line, the building envelop will now permit construction of accessory
structures that many residents want including decks, storage sheds, play equipment and pools
without encroaching in to the wetland setback.
In order to remove individual lot frontage on Highway 7, the southerly portion of Lot 12, Block 2,
has been included as part of Outlot A.

Application of D & G of Chanhassen, LLC, for subdivision approval for a 23 lot and one
outlot residential development with a variance for a flag lot and a wetland alteration
permit for the crossing of a wetland with a public street.
On November 16,2004, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly
schedule meeting to consider the application of D & G of Chanhassen, LLC for
preliminary plat approval of property. The Planning Commission conducted a public
hearing on the proposed subdivision preceded by published and mailed notice. The
Planning Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak and
now makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The property is currently zoned Single-Family Residential, RSF, District.
2. The property is guided in the Land Use Plan for Residential - Low Density.
3. The legal description of the property is: see attached Exhibit A
4. The Subdivision Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider seven
possible adverse affects of the proposed subdivision. The seven (7) affects and our
findings regarding them are:
a. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning ordinance and meets all the
requirements of the RSF, Residential Single Family District;
b. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable city, county and regional
plans including but not limited to the city's comprehensive plan;
c. The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topography,
soils, vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding,
1
and storm water drainage are suitable for the proposed development subject to the
conditions specified in this report.;
d. The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm
drainage, sewage disposal, streets, erosion control and all other improvements
required by this chapter;
e. The proposed subdivision will not cause significant environmental damage;
f. The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record, but will
provide all necessary and required easements; and
g. The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if any of the
following exists:
1.) Lack of adequate storm water drainage.
2.) Lack of adequate roads.
3.) Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems.
4.) Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support systems.
5. In order to permit flag lots, the city must find that the following conditions exist:
a. The prevailing development pattern makes it unfeasible or inappropriate to construct
a public street. In making this determination, the city may consider the location of
existing property lines and homes, local or geographic conditions and the existence
of wetlands. Ideally, a roadway would have been extended straight south from
Cartway Lane with half the right-of-way contributed by each property. However,
the property to the east was developed previously with access off Meadow Lane.
b. After reviewing the surrounding area, it is concluded that an extension of the public
street system is not required to serve other parcels in the area, improve access, or to
provide a street system consistent with the comprehensive plan. Additional public
street access is not required for the property to the east which is already developed.
c. The use of the flag lot will permit enhanced protection of the city's natural resources
including wetlands and forested areas since the flag lot is sufficiently sized such that
any proposed structures can comply with all required wetland setbacks.
6. V ARIANCE FINDINGS - Flag Lot
a. The hardship is not a mere inconvenience, but provides a means for preserving
natural features on site.
2
b. The hardship is caused by the particular physical sUlToundings, shape or
typographical conditions of the land.
c. The conditions upon which the request is based are unique and not generally
applicable to other property.
d. The granting of the variance will not be substantially detrimental to the public
welfare and is in accord with the purpose and intent of the subdivision ordinance, the
zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan.
7. The planning report #04-31 dated November 16,2004, prepared by Robert Generous,
et ai, is incorporated herein.
RECOMMENDA TION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the
Preliminary Plat with a variance for the use of a flag lot.
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 16th day of November,
2004.

Subdivision application for: Hidden Creek Meadows
This proposal for Hidden Creek Meadows has a long history of anticipation and
preparation by these four property owners and the developers. With the recent completion
and development of Hidden Creek Estates, they have joined together cooperatively to
facilitate the city of Chanhassen' s plans for its further expansion.
The city's vision for Pipewood Lane to someday reach Cartway Lane or 6211d Street West
will with this projects approval be one step closer to reality. The redevelopment of this
approx. 19.24 acres ofland is in keeping with the city and county's vision to eliminate
the ecological damage caused by the active wells, septic systems and hobby farm runoff.
These parcels are located on one of the county and cities most important water shed's.
Effecting the lakes of Minnewashta, Virginia, Minnetonka and hence thc Minnehaha
Creek water shed. With the approval of this subdivision plan the benefits can only
enhance the areas quality of living for mother-nature and its current and future residents.
The plans provide for improved storm water run òff collection pöndswith natural
purification before it contaminates the creek running from Lake Minnewashta to Virginia.
While creating 23 affordable residential building sites for residents ofthcse adjoining
communities Chanhassen, Victoria, Shorewood and even Excelsior.
Our application contains only one request for a variance which meets with District
Regulations and is compliant with ordinance standards. Variance to create Lot 13 Block 2
via a 30 ft. curb flag lot extension providing access a viable 54,700 SF parcel (over 3.5
times the minimum lot size) with 136 feet of right of way on highway seven. The
approval of this lot via the flag/neck provides for a quality llse of this large parcel
eliminating the need for any access from Hwy 7, while creating an attractive westerly
oriented walkout building site.
We respectfully thank you in advance for your time and thoughtful consideration for
approval for this subdivision plan.
