The preliminary plat was approved with the following conditions:
' 1. Provide the following easements:
a. Standard drainage and utility easements overall exterior
property lines.
b. Reconfirm the location of drainage and utility easements
' along the western and northern sides of the site to cover
in-place and proposed utilities.
c. Concurrently, provide a permanently recorded easement
' over Lot 4, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 5th
Addition, running in favor of the City for access and
parking of up to 63 parking stalls. The easement should
be worded so that it cannot be vacated without the
written approval of the City of Chanhassen.

The applicant has submitted an easement description for parking up
to 63 cars on Lot 4, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park as
required by Condition 1c. of preliminary plat approval. 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. The City Attorney is working on drafting up
a new easement description with the wordage preferred by the City.
Condition #3 of preliminary plat approval required the applicant to
enter into a development contract. The City Council is acting on
the development contract for PMT as the same meeting as the final
plat.
The site plan approval required several amendments and site plan
approval was contingent upon filing of the final plat. The
applicant is working on the amended site plan providing for the
conditions as part site plan approval including a new landscaping
plan, additional fire hydrants, etc. Once the City receives the
amended site plan meeting all of the conditions of site plan
approval, the signed development contract and the easement for
access to parking on Lot 4, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park
5th, the City will allow the final plat to be signed and recorded
at Carver County. The building permit will not be issued until
after filing of the plat and submission of the revised site plan.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending the City Council adopt the following motion:
"The City Council approves the Final Plat #90-6 for PMT Addition
with the following conditions:
1. Enter into a development contract with the City.
2 . Provide a permanently recorded easement over Lot 4, Block 1,

NIT CORPORATION! 1500 PARK ROAD: M
P CORPORATION,
A. 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. Standard drainage and utility easements overall exterior property lines.

Gary Warren: I'll give a brief overview Mr. Mayor. 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
