The easement provided by the applicant did not provide the exact wordage guaranteeing access to the parking with control by the City as requested by staff.

Condition #3 of preliminary plat approval required the applicant to enter into a development contract.

REPLAT OF LOTS 1 AND 2, BLOCK 1 CHANHASSEN LAKES BUSINESS PARK 5TH ADDITION INTO ONE LOT. B. SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR A 45,900 SQ. FT. EXPANSION TO THE EXISTING FACILITY. ' Paul Krauss: Mr. Mayor, hopefully this one's a little easier than the ones we've tackled so far. The applicants are requesting approval to construct a 48,000 square foot addition to the existing PMT structure. The firm manufactures medical appliances and the growth rate has outpaced their square footage and they need the expansion to continue to grow. The building is architecturally attractive. It blends into the original structure. In this picture the original structure starts over here. The new addition is a 2 story addition that matches architecturally the existing building. There's a very high quality office component at the southwest corner where really most appropriately it should be. That 's the most prominent point on the site where it's adjacent to other streets. Access was an issue for staff on the original proposal. Initially we were quite concerned with the proposal to gain access to Audubon Road fearing some traffic concerns. We've inputted data that we got from the Eastern Carver County Traffic study and concluded that that really isn't the significant concern that we thought it was. However, we did want some modifications to that curb cut and to the building to make that entrance as safe as possible. The applicant is working there to do that . We now have a 30 foot wide curb cut . There will be a sign because trucks can only move in from this curb cut because of the loading dock situation. The building was shaved a little bit in the corner over there to accommodate the turning movements and that driveway does align with the driveway across the street which is where we wanted the most safe location. Parking was also a bit of an issue. There is an existing parking shortage due to the growth rate of the company. They are providing considerable additional parking on site. However, what they're doing is using a provision in the newly adopted parking ordinance. Basically it 's called a proof of parking concept where what they're doing is they're telling us they don't need to construct all the stalls at this time to serve their needs. What we're doing is we're saying that's fine. We just want to know where you can construct them if we do determine that they're necessary in the future. In this case they'd be constructed on the adjacent property which is owned by PMT for expansion north of the current site and what we'd do to protect that is we'd require the filing of a permanent easement against that property so that if it sold at some point in the future, we can still get those stalls in there if we ' need it . Site grading and drainage are generally acceptable. There's a couple modifications we're looking at in terms of the west side of the property to protect some existing utilities in there. The Planning Commission reviewed the item on May 2nd and unanimously recommended approval. As I said, some modifications were incorporated since the Planning Commission review to resolve some of our concerns. We are recommending approval of the preliminary plat and the site plan. Councilwoman Dimler: I have a question Paul. The access to Audubon Road. I was over there today. There are some significantly sized trees. Are they going to be in any way jeopardized by that access? 47 City Council Meeting - June 4, 1990 Paul Krauss: Councilwoman Dimler, I've ve driven past there too and I see where thoCe trees are and I don't believe, I could be wrong but I don't believe ' they're where the entrance is going to occur. There's a couple of trees that really stand alone there that are not in very great shape that probably will be nicked by the grading activity. Now the significant stand of trees start north ' of that property as you're going up the hill to where Prince is. There's going to be an issue when they come in and develop that new site to the north but at this point in time they're really not getting into the heavy tree stands. ' Councilwoman Dimler: I noticed too that you're proposing the access across from the McGlynn, the southerly one of the McGlynn. Paul Krauss: Right. Councilwoman Dimler: And that is only a short distance from Park Drive. I ' don't really understand why they want that access. Why would it be necessary? Paul Krauss: Why's it necessary? In terms of a circulation standpoint , this ' site has some problems. Basically you've got truck loading docks back in here. To you get to them, you couldn't really back in. You'd have to almost back a truck down in here to manuever it back in there. Right now they come around the side of the building. That manuevering room is going to be cut off by the ' expansion so really they're limited to trucks coming down Audubon Road, turning in, and then Lacking into the truck stall. There are some ways to design the site around needing that but what they would have to do is significantly ' compromise the size of the addition. Councilwoman Dimler: So they can't take Park Drive and come in and access the back of the building? ' Paul Krauss: Well, you could but what you'd have to do is put a drive aisle around this side of the building where it would chew up square footage and ' wouldn't be particularly attractive and frankly Councilwoman Dimler, that was our original proposal and we only backed off of that when we found out that the traffic that we had been anticipating wasn't as bad as we thought . Mayor Chmiel: Any other discussion? Councilwoman Dimler: That was Willy. Councilman Boyt: I'd move approval of the replat of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park. Councilman Workman: Second. ' Councilman Boyt moved, Councilman Workman seconded to approve Preliminary Plat 090-6 subject to the following conditions: 1. Provide the following easements: a.

The easement should be worded so that it cannot be vacated without the written approval of the City of Chanhassen. d. Staff is further recommending that no building permits be issued until the plat and all required easements have been recorded. 2. Provide an acceptable final plat . 3.

As I know you're aware a number of residents here that are interested in the project. The project ' basically involves the portion of Audubon Road from the railroad tracks down to Lyman Blvd. . The northerly quarter of the project basically down to Lake Drive West area in here would call for. . .urban section which would be concrete ' curb and gutter similar to what currently exists north of the railroad tracks to the commercial area. The remainder of the project was basically a road overlay project for the most part with some minor corrections of the pavement where we know we have some sub-base problems and also in the area of the Barinsky ' property on the southerly end just before Sunridge Court, we have a very restrictive sight distance problem there where we need to shave the hill to get back to a reasonable safety standard for sight distance. The road section on ' the north portion of the project is such in the presence of the concrete curb 50 1
