MEMORANDUM
TO:
Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM:
Bob Generous, Senior Planner
SUBJ:
Villages on the Ponds - St. Hubert's Expansion
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The developer is requesting an amendment to the Villages on the Ponds PUD to
increase the maximum allowable institutional building area and site plan review for
a 41,522 sq. ft. expansion to the existing building, St. Hubert Catholic Community.
This expansion will bring the building to 133,574 square feet. Under the current
PUD, the church could expand to 127,000 square feet without an amendment to the
PUD. (The 27,000 square feet of institutional use equals 7,830 square feet of retail
use.) The proposed expansion requires an additional 6,574 square feet of building
area for institutional use. This equals 1,906 square feet of commercial space, which
represents the net change in the development building areas.
"
Staffhas had meetings with the representatives from Villages on the Ponds to
detennine if this proposed change will still pennit the type and quantity of
development that was originally approved. Based on the analysis of the potential
build out of the project, the reallocation to institutional uses would still allow the
remainder of the development to proceed as originally envisioned.
City Council action includes approval of two separate motions (highlighted at the
end of the staff report starting on page 8):
The City Council approves the amendment to the Planned Unit Development
Standards for Villages on the Ponds amending section d. Development Site
Coverage and Building Height.
And,
The City Council approves Site Plan #96-11 File 2 for a 41,522 sq. ft. expansion
to the existing building, plans prepared by Opus Architects & Engineers, Inc.,
dated 1/30/02, St. Hubert Catholic Community.

LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION·MAKlNG:
The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving rezonings, PUD's, and
amendments to PUD's because the City is acting in its legislative or policy making capacity. A
rezoning or PUD, and amendment thereto, must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
The City's discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the proposed
project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements. If it meets those standards, the City must
then approve the site plan. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the PUD standards which require that the standards be
amended if more than 127,000 square feet of institutional use is proposed within the development.
The applicant is requesting a total of 135,000 square feet of institutional use, an increase of 8,000
square feet. Staff has had meetings with the representatives from Villages on the Ponds to
detennine if this proposed change will still permit the type and quantity of development that was
originally approved. Based on the analysis of the potential build out of the project, the reallocation
to institutional uses would still allow the remainder of the development to proceed as originally
envisioned. Staff has prepared an amendment to section d. 5. of the design standards incorporating
these changes. The proposed institutional expansion will require the reallocation of 10,150 square
feet of commercial square footage to institutional use. The Villages developer, AUSMAR, has
requested that the reallocation to institutional be limited to the amount of the current site plan for
St. Hubert's expansion, 133,574 square feet. This reduces the amount of square footage reallocated
from commercial to 9,736 square feet.
The Planning Commission questioned the reallocation of this amount of space to institutional uses.
However, under the current PUD, 27,000 square feet of addition institutional space could be done
without an amendment. This equals 7,930 square feet of commercial space. The additional square
footage being requested for reallocation is 1,906 square feet of commercial, which represents only
one percent of the original square footage originally designated for commercial uses.
The applicant is also requesting site plan review for a 41, 522 square foot expansion that would
extend the school to the south as well as create a fellowship hall and miscellaneous space on the
north side of the church and gymnasium. The proposed expansion will bring the total building area
to 133,574 square feet.
The school expansion would be two stories, adding 18 additional classrooms. The exterior
elevation would continue the use of reddish brown brick as the primary color with sandy brick
accent bands, squares and window headers. The roof over the school would be flat with a parapet
wall surrounding the edge. The top of the parapet would be covered with copper colored metal
coping. Window frames would be grayish silver aluminum. The connection between the existing
school and the new wing would be a glass curtain wall atrium area. Outside of the expansion to the
east would be a small outdoor seating area.

The church expansion extends the building to the north as one story with a wood shake roof. The
expansion includes additional worship space, narthex, a small library, a fellowship halYdining
room expansion, toilet facilities, and additional storage space. An aluminum-framed canopy is
being extended over a car drop off area at the northerly entrance. The building material will use
reddish brown brick as the primary color with sandy brick accents pattems and window and door
headers. The roof will be sloped up to the existing gymnasium wall and a parapet extension to the
entrance area. The top of the parapet would be covered with copper colored metal coping.
Window frames would be grayish silver aluminum. Entrance accents will be provided at all
building entrances through the use of dormer extensions above the doors. A chinmey will be
located on the north end of the fellowship hall for the fireplace. The proposed expansion will
provide significant architectural detailing.
On the eastern elevation, a garage and receiving area is being extended out from the building. This
expansion will have a flat roof with the reddish brown brick as the building material. Two
overhead doors will be located on the east side and one overhead door on the north side. Staff
recommends that these doors be similar in color to surrounding bricks.
Staff is recommending approval of the site plan for the church and school expansion subject to the
recommended conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND
On November 26,2001, the Chanhassen City Council approved an amendment to the Villages on
the Ponds Design Standards, section d. Development Site Coverage and Building Height,
3. The maximum building height shall be Sector I - four stories (residential with street level
commercial or office/50 ft.), (retail and office buildings without residences above shall be
limited to three stories/40 ft.) except for the lot on the comer of Promenade Pond and
Great Plains Boulevard shall be limited to two stories and 30 feet, Sector IT - three
stories/40 ft., Sector ill - three stories/40 ft., and Sector N - four stories/50 feet. Building
height limitations are exclusive of steeples, towers, and other architectural and roof
accents.
And,
5. The following table shall govern the amount of building area for the different uses:
Commercial! Office/Service Institutional Dwelling TOTAL
Retail (sa. ft.) (sa. ft.) (sa. ft.) Units sa. ft.

* Includes 47,200 square foot, 106-unit motel.
Building square footages may be reallocated between sectors and between uses subject to
approval by the Planning Director, with the intent not to increase the total traffic load. The
following factors shall be used in calculating the reallocation of building square footages
between uses:
1 Residential apartment unit = 3 congregate care (assisted living or dementia) unit.
1 Residential apartment unit = 2 elderly (independent) unit.
1 Residential apartment unit = 360 square feet of office/service.
1 Residential apartment unit = 90 square feet of retail.
1 Residential apartment unit = 440 square feet of institutional.
950 square feet of officelservice = 1,000 square feet of institutional.
300 square feet of retail = 1,000 square feet of office/service.
290 square feet of retail = 1,000 square feet of institutional.
In no instance shall more than 27,000 square feet of addition institutional building square footage
be reallocated without an amendment to the PUD.
6. Buildings adjacent to pedestrian sidewalks must have commercial/office on the majority of
the street frontage.
On August 13, 2001, the City Council approved an amendment to PUD 95-2, Villages on the
Ponds, to permit a drive through window on Lot 1, Block 1, Villages on the Ponds 2nd Addition,
as a conditional use.
On September 23, 1996, the City Council approved PUD 95-2, Villages on the Ponds, including
a Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment from Office/industrial, Institutional, Residential
Medium Density, Residential Low Density to Mixed Use-Commercial, High Density Residential,
Institutional and Office; Preliminary planned unit development for up to 291,000 sq. ft. of
commercial/office buildings, 100,000 sq. ft. of institutional buildings, and 322 dwelling units;
rezoning from lOP and RSF to PUD, Planned Unit Development (final reading); and final plat
dated "Received September 19, 1996" for two lots and ten outlots and public right-of-way.
On September 9, 1996, the City Council approved Site Plan 96-11 for a 96,288 square foot
school church facility for St. Hubert Catholic Community on Lot I, Block 2, Villages on the
Ponds.
On August 12, 1996, the City Council granted preliminary approval of PUD #92-1 including a
Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment from Office/industrial, Institutional, Residential
Medium Density, Residential Low Density to Mixed Use-Commercial, High Density Residential,
Institutional and Office; Preliminary planned unit development for up to 291,000 sq. ft. of
commercial/office buildings, 100,000 sq. ft. of institutional buildings, and 322 dwelling units;

The above table begins with the approved square footages for each type of use in the design standards.
The table then goes through all the approved and potential development within the project, subtracting
each building's square footage from the total square footage for that use. The bottom five building square
footages are based on estimates of the potential development for each remaining site based on parking,
market conditions and site area. The balance in each use is shown at the bottom of the table (negative
numbers show that the initial square footage has been exceeded). We then convert all the uses to a
common factor, in this case commercial. The converted office (11,043 sq. ft. of commercial) and
institutional (9,736 sq. ft. of commercial) are subtracted from the commercial balance,leaving a balance of
1,285 square feet of commercial.
St. Hubert Catholic Community
March 5, 2002
Page 6
Based on the analysis of the potential build out of the project, the reallocation to institutional uses
would still allow the remainder of the development to proceed as originally envisioned (a mixed
use project). Staff has prepared an amendment to section d. 5. of the design standards incorporating
these changes. The proposed institutional expansion will require the reallocation of 9,736 square
feet of commercial square footage to institutional use. The table will be amended to show this.
However, we are recommending that no additional institutional square footage be pennitted without
and amendment to the PUD.
The overall goal is to maintain the trip generation rates under those that were originally approved as
part of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet for the concept plan. The conversion factors
adopted at the previous PUD amendment would maintain these ratios even though the projected
total square footages may be larger.
GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCIDTECTURE
The exterior elevation would continue the use of reddish brown brick as the primary color with
sandy brick accent bands, squares, patterns and window headers. The roof over the school would
be flat with a parapet wall surrounding the edge. The top of the parapet would be covered with
copper colored metal coping. Window frames would be grayish silver aluminum. The roof over
the church expansion would be sloped, with cedar shake shingles. Entrance accents will be
provided at all building entrances through the use of dormer extensions above the doors. A
chimney will be located on the north end of the fellowship hall for the fireplace. The proposed
expansion will provide significant architectural detailing.
The following setbacks shall apply:
~ Buildingfparking Proposed
Market Blvd.: Buffer yard & Setback 50',20' 525',300'
Interior Side Lot Line: Buffer yard & setback 0',0' 12',0'
East Perimeter Side Lot Line (adjacent to 50',50' 60',20'
residential): Buffer yard & setback
The proposed expansion meets or exceeds the requirement for architectural detailing required in
both the Villages on the Ponds design standards as well as the city's overall design standards.
LANDSCAPING
The applicant meets required landscaping standards. Staff proposes that an additional overstory
tree be added to the northerly landscape boulevard island. The applicant shall guarantee the
survival of all transplanted material similar to the requirements for landscaping installation on
other projects, e.g., for one year past date of acceptance of landscaping.

GRADING DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL
Minimal grading will be required for this project to elevate the proposed building pad to 925.
The proposed grading will include filling on the southeast comer. A maximum slope of 3:1 is
allowed where it is applicable or a retaining wall must be used. The applicant should be aware
that any retaining walls over 4-feet need to be designed by a registered engineer. Retaining walls
are not allowed in public easements. The extent of the grading will be the digging and filling of
trenches for the sanitary sewer pipe. The plans do propose erosion control fencing around the
perimeter of the site. Type ill silt fence must be used and extended around the excavated area to
prevent any migration of the excavated material and an erosion control blanket should be
installed within two weeks of completion on the sloped area.
No drainage or storm sewer improvements are proposed with this project. The plan is not clear
as to if the proposed building's roof drain will be connected to the existing roof drain then
conveyed via the existing storm sewer system and finally discharge into the existing pond located
in the southwest corner of the lot or how the roof will drain. Design calculations will need to be
submitted for the additional site drainage. The applicant should be aware that any off-site
grading would require an easement from the appropriate property owner.
UTILITIES
The plans propose to abandon a portion of an existing public sewer line and reroute it around the
proposed building expansion area. A new sewer line will replace the existing line. The applicant
is also proposing that the end of the watermain be realigned. The proposed water and sanitary
sewer lines must be centered within a 20-foot wide utility easement. This easement will be
required to be signed and submitted to the City prior to beginning construction. The applicant
will also be required to provide the necessary financial security in the form of a cash escrow or
letter of credit to guarantee installation of the public utilities. Utility improvements will be
required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications
and Detail Plates.
STREETS
No major street improvements have been proposed with this project. Five parking spaces will be
eliminated, however, due to the building expansion.
LlGHTING/SIGNAGE
While no lighting is proposed on the plans, any lighting would have to follow the following
standards. Lighting for the interior of the villages should be consistent throughout the
development. A shoe box fixture (high pressure sodium vapor lamps) with decorative natural
colored pole shall be used throughout the development parking lot area for lighting. Decorative,
pedestrian scale lighting shall be used in plaza and sidewalk areas and may be used in parking lot
areas. The maximum height of light fixtures in the parking lot is 30 feet. All fixtures must be
shielded with a total cutoff angle of 90 degrees or less. Wall pack units, if used, shall be shielded
and directed downward so that no direct glare is visible off site.
St. Hubert Catholic Community
March 5, 2002
Page 8
No additional signage is proposed for the development. On-site traffic control signage may be
required.
MISCELLANEOUS
Detailed occupancy requirements have been reviewed with the applicant but cannot be completed
until complete plans are submitted. The owner and or their representative shall continue meeting
with the Inspections Division to discuss plan review and pennit procedures.
SITE PLAN FINDINGS
In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance
with the following:
(I) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides,
including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may
be adopted;
(2) Consistency with this division;
(3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing
tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the
general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing or developing
areas;
(4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site
features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the
development;
(5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with
special attention to the following:
a. An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and
provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general
community;
b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping;
c. Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of
the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and
neighboring structures and uses; and
d. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives
and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public
streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior
St. Hubert Catholic Community
March 5, 2002

circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement
and amount of parking.
(6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision
for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light
and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations
which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses.
Finding: Subject to the revisions contained in the staff report, the proposed site plan is
consistent with all plans and specifications and development design standards for the
Villages on the Ponds Planned Unit Development and meets site plan findings 1 through
6 enumerated above.

RE: PROPOSED EXPANSION
ST. HUBERT CATHOLIC COMMUNITY CHURCH & SCHOOL
Dear Bob:
On behalf of St. Hubert Catholic Community, we are pleased to submit the following applications
pertaining to the proposed additions to the existing St. Hubert Catholic Community facility:
· Site Plan Review application, including a check in the amount of $860 and all associated
plans and renderings, for the proposed additions to the existing facility.
· Vacation of Easement Application, including a check in the amount of $300 for the
proposed re-alignment of an existing sanitary sewer line on the south side of the existing
facility.
· Planned Unit Development Amendment application, including a check in the amount of
$300 for the proposed change to the maximum allowable institutional area included in the
P.U.D. for the Villages on the Ponds development.
We request the City of Chanhassen review these applications in order for consideration by the
Planning Commission at the public hearing on March 5, 2002 and by the City Council at the council
meeting on March 25, 2002.
St. Hubert Catholic Community has continued to grow since the existing facility was completed in
1997. The Parish leadership has determined that construction of a fellowship hall addition and the
construction of additional classrooms is necessary to continue to meet the needs of the parish.
The Parish is currently in the process of raising funds for the planned construction. It may be
decided to phase construction with up to eight class rooms being built at a later date. The length of
the classroom addition will be approximately 60 feet shorter than what is shown on the attached site
plan if the eight class rooms were delayed. The Parish leadership anticipates resolving this issue
prior to the March 5, 2002 Planning Commission hearing.

The fellowship hall and classroom additions shown on the attached site plan will increase the size of
the St. Hubert Catholic Community facility to approximately 133,000 square feet of floor area. The
previous agreement between St. Hubert Catholic Community and AUSMAR allowed for a
minimum expansion of 108,000 square feet of floor area. The Parish leadership has reached a
verbal agreement with Lotus Realty to allow up to a maximum of 135,000 square feet of floor area.
We understand that the maximum allowable institutional area included in the P.U.D. for the
Villages on the Ponds development is 127,000 square feet of floor area. We are requesting an
amendment to the P.U.D., increasing the allowable institutional area for the development to include
135,000 square feet of floor area for St. Hubert Catholic Community.
Thank you for your consideration in reviewing this project. If you have any questions or require
any additional infonnation, please call either Dave Bangasser at 952-656-4457 or Jeff Walker at
952-656-4524

OPUS NORTHWEST CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION

RE:
St. Hubert Church CommuDity request for AmeDdmeot to
the Villages 00 the Ponds PUD
Having reviewed the staff report for the above request by St. Hubert Church, we find that their
request is for a total building size of 133,574 squrae feet, not 135,000 square feet as we bad been
led to believe. Therefore, we respectfully request that you amend your report to allocate only
9,736 square feet of commercial use, not the 10,150 square feet as would have been required to
achieve 135,000 square feet of institutional use.
This reduction will not be of any disadvantage to St. Hubert's plans but will permit the balance of
the project a bit more flexibility should there be some variation in plans fi:om those which we
currently anticipate.
Although our negotiations are not yet completed, we anticipate that we will be in a position to
submit a letter confirming that Ausmar and VOP I both support the amendment of the POO. That
letter, should it be forthcoming, will be conditioned upon the staff report contRining a capacity
transference which reflects the 9,736 number.

Re: Villages on the Ponds
Dear Ms. Aanenson:
Please make this letter a part of the Planning Commission record. We represent Ausmar Development
Company, LLC ("Ausmar"), which was the initial developer of the Villages on the Ponds development in
Chanhassen, and which continues to own the developable property within Villages on the Ponds. As you
may be aware, the VOP I, LLC and Ausmar entered into an option agreement by which VOP I would
have the option to acquire most (but not all) of the remaining developable property within Villages on the
Ponds.
It is my understanding that this evening's Planning Commission agenda includes a proposal to add
33,500 square feet of institutional development capacity to the St. Hubert's property. Adding that
capacity to the St. Hubert's site will diminish the remaining available capacity for the balance of the
project. While it may be represented that the adverse impact on development capacity to the balance of
the project is minimal, it may ultimately have a greater impact than currently contemplated. The exact
ultimate effect is simply unknown at this time. This may adversely affect the property that Ausmar has
retained that is not subject to the VOP I option agreement. This may also adversely affect Ausmar if
VOP I does not exercise its option rights (and there are certainly no assurances that VOP I will exercise
such option rights).

Having described the possible negative impact on Ausmar, Ausmar is nonetheless I!enerallv in favor of
the St. Hubert's proposal. However. Ausmar would like assurances that the final approval will be
conditioned upon (i) amending the existing POO to effectuate this change and (ii) expressly requiring
Ausmar's signature on the POO amendment for it to be effective. In other words, Ausmar would like to
see this happen; however, Ausmar, understandably, wants assurances that it will remain in the loop and
involved in the process so that it can better analyze the possible impact.
·
In summary, Ausmar supports the St. Hubert's proposal, Drovided that the Planning Commission's
approval includes an express condition that the change be implemented pursuant to an amendment to the
· existing POO agreement, which amendment must be approved and signed by Ausmar. Without that
express condition, Ausmar opposes the proposal because Ausmar has not yet had a reasonable opportunity
to analyze the potential adverse impact concerning parking and capacity.
Thank you for your attention to this.

Sincerely,

Blackowiak: Commissioners, any questions?
Slagle: Madam Chair. Bob, I'm trying to understand the whole numbers thing, as you might expect that
was going to come from me. Conceptually with the church's request, I'm fine with that. I get these
letters, or copies of these letters from a law firm asking for some, one might say additional say in what
happens. And then I get a copy of a letter from Lotus claiming that the numbers are different. If you're

tracking with me. I'mjust trying to paraphrase what I'm seeing here and help me out. I mean where are
we on this?
·
'.
Generous: Well Madam Chair. As a part of St. Hubert's submittal, they requested that the, an
institutional square footages go up 135,000. Their site plan is less than that and as, or Lotus doesn't want
to allocate that additional square footages if they don't have to. AUSMAR as the underlying owner
wants to have the final authority to sign off on that. However, they do have that because any amendment
to the PUD would be, first have to be approved by the City, and then secondly it would have to be
executed by the property owners before we could record it and before it takes effect. So in essence they
have thatauthority. If they decide not to sign it, then the expansion can only be up to 127,000 square
feet.
4
·
Slagle: Okay. So, in essence AUSMAR is certainly within their right to raise concems and request
something.
·
Generous: Yes.
·
Slagle: Lotus, for whatever reason, don't know if it's great, good or indifferent, is requesting some
limitation. My question to staff would be, we seem to have worked with Lotus on this development over
the last, at least my tenure. is that safe to say that we've been working with them to sort of change and
modify and what not?
·
Aanenson: Yes.
·
Slagle: Okay. Okay, thanks. That's it.
Blackowiak: Okay, any other questions?
·
·
Sidney: One question I guess, and I'll probably think of some more. The way I understand the basic
concept...1 guess one concern I have is that, and I understand is we're reducing in essence the number of
the square footage of commercial that will be available. How much are we actually losing in this
process? Is it 1,5, 10 percent of commercial that we're.
·
Generous: Percentage? Well it's 1.900 square feet out of 174 so 1,900 square feet out of 174,000.
Blackowiak: Like 1 Y, percent.
·
Sidney: Okay, so that is not a significant amount.
·
Blackowiak: Okay, any questions?
·
Kind: Yes Madam Chair. Mine dove tails off of Commissioner Sidney's. Conceptually I think it's a
good plan and I support the church, all that, but I want to have my cake and eat it too. I want to keep the
tax revenue we can get from the commercial site, and when I saw that we would be losing 10,000 square
feet I kind of though oooh, let's figure out a way to do both. But now I'm hearing you say it's 1,900
really because.
·
Generous: That's the net number.
51
Planning Commission Meeting - March 5, 2002
Kind: That's the net number because we would, the PUD agreement allows for 27,000 to be reallocated?
Aanenson: Correct.
Kind: So that gives me a new way to think about it I guess. Because it's really only 1,900.
Generous: And 6.
Kind: And 6. I guess we're being precise aren't we. So that was my initial concern so that helps me.
Thank you.
Blackowiak: Any questions VIi?
Sacchet: Yes I do. And just to expand on this topic we're on. I didn't catch it actually until it was
brought to my attention. We're saying that the remainder of the development will proceed as originally
planned. At first when I read this I was great, so it has no impact. Therefore it's no issue. But then I
started wondering. I mean the remainder of the development hasn't necessarily been planned out.
Aanenson: Let's talk about that for a second. When Lotus approached the city we spent a lot of time to
go through these sectors and look at what's been allocated. Where they are on the plan because
obviously we know that it's very important, and as Commissioner Kind has indicated, that one of the
implications ofthe decision. Certainly there's a lot of synergy that's derived from the traffic flow that
the church and the school, that's good. That's kind of the community base that we anticipated with this
development but to go back and say what was our original intent and what are the implications of those
decisions. And we went back and went through the entire PUD project. What's outstanding? What do
we know that's still in the works or in the development and say are we still got ourselves in the position
to make all those things happen and we're comfortable with that recommendation that we're still on track
with the other buildings that are you know going to come forward.
Sacchet: So we're not really limiting? We don't think this is going to become a limiting factor moving
forward there?
Generous: This can exceed that total but if they do, they'd have to go back and review the EA W.
Sacchet: They have to come back...
Generous: Because they'd exceed the overall threshold.
Sacchet: Yeah, considering it's 1,900 square feet, that's really more digestible. Now there is a letter
attached in the package that says that the church may possibly only go with 9 instead of 18 additional
classrooms. Do we know where they're at with that at this point?
Generous: You'd have to.
Sacchet: Ask the applicant? Okay. And if they would want to go 9, we don't know where they would
cut the building? That's an applicant question too? Alright. Then there's a little bit offill happening on
the southeast corner. And do we have any idea whether or to what extent that affects the trees below
there towards the trail? Actually the answer is no. I already talked to Jill. A rhetoric question just to be
on the record.
52
Planning Commission Meeting - March 5, 2002
·
B1ackowiak: Okay then let's not, that's a comment thing.
Sacchet: Yeah, it's a comment. Alright. One thing that's a math question. I looked at this plan and it
looked like the sewer stub was under the new fellowship hall. And that kind of just got, oh.
·
Saam: Oh, at the south end of the building?
Sacchet: Yeah, at the north end. Where they're making the fellowship. It kind of startled me because
there was a wording on it.
Saam: Right here?
Sacchet: No. no. On the fellowship hall. On the middle of the fellowship hall. It seems like, there is,
it's on one of the blueprints that we got a copy of. And Ijust wondered whetherthat's a concern or not.
I'd be happy to hear it's not a concern.
Saam: This roof drain?
Sacchet: No, it's not a roof drain.
;~
David Bangasser: Just a planned extension from the existing building...
Aanenson: Did you hear that? It's a planned extension of that sewer line.
·
Sacchet: Yeah, I'd be happy to leave the details with you guys. It·s just something that kind of startled
me.
·
Saam: Yeah, I don't see it as an issue.
·
Sacchet: Okay, thanks. In terms of, since they're losing 5 parking spaces, are they still meeting parking
requirements?
Generous: Yes.
Sacchet: And since they're increasing buildings. are they still within the impervious framework?
·
Generous: Yes.
Sacchet: They're showing a retaining wall on the southeast corner. It says 42 inch so that would not
need engineering, correct?
Generous: Correct.
·
Sacchet: Just under that. Oh, this is kind of a silly question. Forgive me. What's a sand pipe
connection?
·
Saam: I'm not too in tune with that but it's something with, this is a fire. It was Greg Hayes' conditions.
·
53
Planning Commission Meeting - March 5, 2002
Aanenson: It's stand pipe, isn't it?
Sacchet Oh stand pipe. Stand pipe.
Saam: That's where the water goes through the building so they can connect to it I think with hoses
inside the building.
Sacchet: Okay. Okay. I believe that's all my questions for right now, thank you.
Blackowiak: I only have one question. Trip generation. We're okay with any changes in.
Saam: I would assume so. This is planned, right Bob?
Generous: We're still under the thresholds that were established with the last...
Blackowiak: Okay. So institutional is less than retail?
Generous: Yes, less in generation. Also as far as the use goes, the school doesn't use hardly any of their
parking spaces. You know if you ever go down there, you can see most of the parking lot is empty. It's
mostly the church use that needs the common space that will be provided with Presbyterian Homes and a
future development to the north.
Blackowiak: Okay. Alright.
Feik: May I ask a question?
Blackowiak: Sure.
Feik: Dove tailing back to that. I agree the school itself doesn't need a lot of parking but if they cut back
the number of classrooms, ând they utilize those rooms in a different fashion, what would be the impact
on parking at that point? Have you looked at that at all? Parking's not...
Aanenson: Are you talking about a change in use of the building?
Feik: Well yeah.
Aanenson: Then we'd have to go back and examine that. Right now it's being permitted just as what it
is. As a school. Yep, they'd have to come back and we'd have to re-examine that.
Blackowiak: Okay. Okay, thank you. Would the applicant or their designee like to make a presentation?
If so, please come up to the podium and state your name and address for the record.
Dave Bangasser: I'm Dave Bangasser. I'm representing the St. Hubert's Building Committee. And we,
I think you've had a long enough evening that we don't need to keep you with a presentation. I think the
staff report and Bob's presentation probably is adequate but we do have other members of our building
committee here. Frank Sherwood and Ron Slominski, as well as two representatives from Opus. Our
Project Manager, Jeff Walker and our design architect Randy Kling, so we are here to answer any
questions that you might have. I did just have a couple of very quick comments. One, your question on
the number of classrooms. We do intend to build the 18 classrooms. At one point a couple months back

Planning Comnússion Meeting - March 5, 2002
we were looking at the possibility of taking the middle school and doing something on a more regional
basis. A decision has been made that."okay with AUSMAR's request to limit the PUD amendment to
what we're actually building. Just go around. We were rounding it up a little bit just to give us a little
bit of cushion and so we don't have a problem with that. We are in agreement with the staff's report and
the staff conditions. Particularly the part recommending approval.
Blackowiak: A little levity is good at this time of the evening.
Dave Bangasser: I was also happy to see that the silt fence is going to be removed. I don't know if that
was going to be a concern here.
Sacchet: Thank you.
Dave Bangasser: Seriously, I do only have one condition that I would like to ask the comnússion to
consider waiving and that is, I think it's item number 12 relative to the 3 to I slope. I think that is in that
area on the southeast corner of the property that you were referring to that some grading is taking place
because of the sanitary sewer. We are extending that south. We always master planned this site for
pretty much all of this development. Although there is a little bit more development and we are going a
little bit further south than we had planned 5-6 years ago. As a result of that we need to relocate that
sanitary sewer line and that's the reason for the grading on that slope. When we did bring our original
development plans before the Planning Comnússion and City Council, we discussed 3 to 1 versus 2 to 1,
and that slope was approved as a 2 to 1 slope. In fact that slope all the way along our south property line
near the ballfield is all constructed at 2 to 1. And so we would like to request that we be allowed to
rebuild that space once we disturb it for the sanitary sewer, that we be allowed to rebuild it in the present
condition of2 to 1. We think that it's a very safe condition. We don't intend to mow it. 'That area was
left to go natural. It's not something that gets a lot of drainage. In fact with our building addition there,
with interior roof drains we really aren't going to have any storm water to speak of. It's running over that
slope so, we would like to ask your consideration in allowing us to do the 2 to 1 slope. If we went 3 to 1,
we'd have 1 of2 things. One, either we'd extend that slope further south which would eliminate some
trees, which nobody wants to do. Or we'd have to add an expensive retaining wall which we really don't
want to do. So again, it was something that was considered in our original site plan submittal and was
approved at 2 to I and we'd like your consideration on that.
Sidney: I guess one comment about that. It's included isn't it in this".that we have 3 to 1 max.
Dave Bangasser: That's the condition that's on here now. What I'm asking for is.
Sidney: 2 to I is okay?
Dave Bangasser: No.
Blackowiak: 2 to 1 is steeper.
Sidney: Oh.
Sacchet: Was that part of, do you recall?
Generous: Yes, as part of the original development they did permit a 2 to 1 slope. We did have them put
fencing at the top of it.
55
Planning Commission Meeting - March 5, 2002
Dave Bangasser: We actually didn't put the fencing there immediately. We put it there afterwards
because that area that was nice and flat for this building addition turned out to be a real nice playground
area so the balls were going, were rolling down there and so we did come back and put a fence at the top
to prevent that. Our building addition is going to remove that playground area and kind of shift that over,
but that is something that we could do as well if need be.
Blackowiak: I'm sorry, can you clarify or I guess I'm, I missed there. So will there be a fence? Right,
will there be a fence there? You're saying that you're going to move some of the playground area. Will
fence be put back there if you're at 2 to 1 still?
Dave Bangasser: Our plan would not have put a fence there and the reason is because the playground
will no longer be there and there's really no activity that will be at that end of the building. You know
the building's going to come up pretty much to the top of the slope and there's not a lot ofarea there for
kids to play in and so forth. So we hadn't contemplated reconstructing that fence. It certainly is
something that we'd consider rather than the expensive retaining wall, if that was something we felt was
important.
Blackowiak: Okay. I don't know that it is but, if there's no playground, but there still may be kids.
Sacchet: Are we on questions yet?
Blackowiak: Pardon?
Sacchet: I have a question.
Blackowiak: Okay.
Sacchet: If you would do that 2 to I. would you then not need that retaining wall that's currently on the
blueprint?
Dave Bangasser: Correct.
Sacchel: .. .at least on the landscaping version of it, you have that retaining wall in that corner showing.
Dave Bangasser: Oh, I think we were referring to the grading plan. I think.
Sacchet: Yeah, on the grading plan it's not on it. That's why I wanted to ask you about is it on or not?
Dave Bangasser: Right. We had actually only intended, and I'm not sure if that was a
miscommunication with our landscape architect that we talked about some retaining walls at that kind of
outdoor classroom area and I don't know exactly what happened with the retaining wall being shown on
the landscaping plan. But the grading plan is what we had intended, which is not to install a retaining
wall in that area. It was basically to rebuild it in the present form.
Sacchet: Okay.
Blackowiak: Any other questions of the applicant?

Planning Commission Meeting - March 5, 2002
Sacchet I have a few more.
Blackowiak: Do you? Okay.
Sacchet Yeah I do. In tenns of the building has these square accent bricks, or blocks between the two
stories. I don't think the plan shows them to be on the south side. I think would they be carried around?
And the same with the little sprinkle on top by the roof line, it has that accent stuff.
Dave Bangasser: On the classroom addition?
Sacchet: Yes. On the south side.
Dave Bangasser: The intention would be to match what's on the existing...
Sacchet: To carry it all around, okay. Just want to be real clear about that. And so your intent is to not
impact the trees on that southeast corner?
Dave Bangasser: That's correct.
Sacchet: I believe that's all my questions for you, thank you.
Blackowiak: Okay. Okay, thank you. Would anybody else from your group like to make a presentation?
No? Okay. I will open this item up for a public hearing. Would anybody like to speak on this item,
please come up to the microphone and state your name and address for the record. Seeing no one, I will
close the public hearing. Commissioners, comments please.
Sacchet: Want me to start?
Blackowiak: Go ahead.
Sacchet: Alright. I'm glad to hear that we're not limiting what we don't know yet what it's going to be.
That was a definite concern that threw me a little bit. I would like to ensure that we don't impact those
trees on that southeast corner because that's relatively sensitive, because it's on the bottom of that really
steep slope and it's buffering that trail. I think there are some significant trees down there. Not right at
the slope but depending what happens, they could be get impacted. I would like to ask that these accent
things get carried consistently all around the building. Because currently the south end does not have
those accents and on the drawings, they're not necessarily there and I'm talking about the square blocks
between the first and second story, as well as these sprinkle things on top by the roof. Is that clear?
Kind: Sprinkle things?
Sacchet: Sprinkle things. Yeah, you know like these couple of bricks that are lighter, okay. Sprinkle
things. Let's see what else I have. Generally I think it's a good thing. I don't have a problem allowing
them the 2 to 1 slope because apparently that's something that was approved previously and plus in
addition we have a good reason because it's not going to impact the trees as much so I think it makes
good sense to allow them that. And maybe then we would want to ask for no retaining wall. I don't
know if we want to go that far and be specific about that. I would like to be consistently asking for the
silt fence to be removed. One place it is, one place it isn't. Condition 22 needs an edit. It's an additional
overstory, not an addition overstory tree. And I would like to put conditions in for these accents to go in
57
Planning Commission Meeting - March 5, 2002
and to have them work with staff to minimize the impact on those trees below on the southeast comer.
That's where I'm at. That's my comment.
B1ackowiak: Okay, thank you. Go ahead.
Kind: Madam Chair, I can go. I tlúnk this is a great plan. I think it's really exciting that the school's so
successful that you need to add on. It's certainly a nice part of our community, and I know people who
have been on that waiting list for a long time who will appreciate having more classroom space, so I think
that's good. Initially I was concerned at the loss of tax revenue generating retail space when I thought it
was 10,000 square feet. That was a big concern to me but now when I realize that it's more than 700. Or
700. 7,000 would have been allowed and it's more like 1,900, that's much more in keeping with what I
could accept. Initially I was going to try and figure out a way to give both but I think the 1,900 is okay.
So yeah. the site plan looks good. I really like, especially the appearance on the north side. Hiding the
big box of the gym. Kind of softening that a bit. I think that's a nice improvement. I would like to see a
fence at the top ofthat slope, even though the playground is going away. There's still lots of kids that
just are going to be around because it's a school and there's going to be messing around going on so I
think it probably is a good idea to put a fence at the top. but I'm okay with the 2 to I slope. That's all.
Looks good.
Blackowiak: Okay. Any other comments?
Feik: I like the plan. I agree with Deb. I would like to see a fence at the top of the hill as well. I'm not
too particular about the kind of fence. Personally I don't think it needs to be a chainlink or anything but I
think something to keep the kids from pushing each other down the hill. Having small kids, it happens.
Other than that, the project looks nice.
Blackowiak: Okay.
Sidney: I feel comfortable with the plan. The reallocation. I think this is going to cause minimal
impact... I guess I would, that's what I was leading up to, tax base loss...but I think the enhancements to
the St. Hubert's will be really, really great and will help that whole complex of buildings. I guess I'm
fine with the 2 to I slope. I think it might...
Blackowiak: It's late. You can't expect to do geometry at this hour.
Sidney: So, and I guess the fence sounds like a very good idea because.. .small children. Other than that,
the site plan looks really fabulous. It will only enhance that place.
Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. Rich, anything?
Slagle: No.
Blackowiak: That's fine.
Slagle: I was going to throw out, you know as an attendee at Westwood, I was trying to think of
something funny and in the spirit but I'll just leave it.
Blackowiak: Okay. Probably a wise idea. And I really don't have much more to add. I think it looks
like a good plan, and I too had a concern about allocation of retail to institutional but I guess I'm much

more comfortable now after hearing the revised figures so that makes me feel a little bit better. With that
I'll need two motions please.

Sacchet Madam Chair. I move that the Planning Conunission recommends site approve, approval of site
plan #96-11. File 2, plans prepared by Opus Architects & Engineers. Incorporated dated 1/30/02 subject
to the following conditions I through 23.
Kind: Madam Chair, can I interrupt? Should we be doing the different motion first?
,
Blackowiak: I don't know that order makes a difference.
·
Sacchet: Oh Ijumped one.
Blackowiak: That's okay. Why don't you just continue on and then Deb, we'll let you do the other one.
·
Sacchet: Oh I'm sorry...
·
Kind: We probably should because we can't.
Sacchet: Yeah, why don't you do the other one.
·
·
Kind: Okay. Madam Chair, I move that the Planning Conunission recommends approval of the
amendment to the Planned Unit Development standards for Villages on the Ponds, amending Section D
as follows. with Bob's new numbers. Specifically the Sector I, CommerciallRetail. Should be 104,764
and that Sector III should be, Institutional should be 133,574 and then new totals, which I don't know
what they are.
·
Blackowiak: There's been a motion. I think the numbers are different. I think it's actually 105 on that
first number. I re-added. Can you just double check?
·
Generous: 104.760. Or 764. Because it's 414 square feet is added back in..
Blackowiak: Okay, so why the difference between, if you're taking off 14.
·
Kind: Because we would have allowed 27,000 to be reallocated which is about 7,000.
·
Generous: 7320 I believe.
Blackowiak: Okay you know what, I'mjust not going to quibble tonight. Let's just.

Kind moved, Feik seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the
amendment to the Planned Unit Development Standards for Villages on the Ponds, amending
section (d) as follows:
1. Development Site Coverage and Building Height
1. The following table shall govem the amount of building area for the different uses:
Commercial! Office/Service Institutional Dwelline TOTAL
Retail (SQ ft) !m..ID !m..ID Units Square Feet
Sector I 104,764 83,500 0 160 188.264
Sector IT 60,000 14,000 0 0 74,000
Sector ill 0 0 133,574 0 133,574
Sector IV 0 0 0 162 0
TOTAL 164,764 97,500 133,574 322 395,838
Building square footages may be reallocated between sectors and between uses subject to approval by the
Planning Director. with the intent not to increase the total traffic load. The following factors shall be
used in calculating the reallocation of building square footages between uses:
1 Residential apartment unit = 3 congregate care (assisted living or dementia) units.
1 Residential apartment unit = 2 elderly (independent) units.
1 Residential apartment unit = 360 square feet of office/service.
I Residential apartment unit = 90 square feet of retail.
1 Residential apartment unit = 440 square feet of institutional.
950 square feet of office/service = 1,000 square feet of institutional.
300 square feet of retail = 1,000 square feet of office/service
290 square feet of retail = 1,000 square feet of institutional.
In no instance shall additional institutional building square footage be reallocated without an amendment
to the POD.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously 6 to O.
Blackowiak: Vii, why don't you jump right in.
Sacchet: Alright, I move that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan #96-11, File
2, plans prepared by Opus Architects and Engineers, Incorporated dated 1/30/02 subject to the following
conditions. It surely goes faster when you say it the second time. And that's conditions I through 23
with the following fixes. 1 I. The silt fence will be removed after completion, as well as put there.
Number 12. The slope will be a maximum of2 to 1 with a fence on the top. I guess that's specific
enough. Number 22. An additional overstory tree. Number 24. Square accents between the floors and
top edge contrasting elements will be carried all around. Is that clear enough? All around the additions.
Feik: The school addition.

VOP I, LLC
Request ÍÌ'om St. Huberts for Site Plan Approval of Certain Modifications
to their Improvements and Amendment to the Villages on the Ponds
POOlDevelopment Agreement
..
We would appreciate your including this letter in your packet regarding the above-referenced
requests. As you may know, VOP I has an option to purchase all but one of the remaining
undeveloped parcels within the Villages on the Ponds project. As such optionee, we have the
right to approve any changes in the POOlDevelopment Agreement.
·
·
From the information we currently have, we believe that we are in general support of St. Huberts
requests; however there remain some outstanding issues to be resolved between St. Huberts,
Ausmar and VOP 1. We understand that any City approvals ofSt. Huberts' requests will be
conditioned upon an amendment to the POOlDevelopment Contract and will not be effective
uuIess and until any amendment to the POO is executed by both Ausmar and VOP I.
·
.
Further, as to the Site Plan proposed, VOP I understands that, as was required under the
POOlDevelopment Agreement, an architectural review committee has been established for the
purpose of reviewing and approving all development and building plans, but that although this
approval is usually sought prior to submission of plans for approval by the City, no plans have
been presented to the Villages on the Ponds Landscape and Architectural Review Committee.
Thus, VOP l's approval will in all likelihood not be forthcoming until the Architectural Review
Committee has approved the landscaping and building modifications.

Re: Villages on the Ponds-St. Hubert's Proposal
·
Dear Ms. Aanenson:
This letter is further to my March 5, 2002 letter to you. Please make this letter a part of the City Council
record, along with our March 5, 2002 letter, a copy of which is enclosed. As stated in the March 5, 2002
letter, we represent Ausmar Development Company, LLC (UAusmar"). Although Ausmar generally
supports St. Hubert's proposal to add 33,500 square feet of institutional development capacity to the St.
Hubert's property, Ausmar continues to have some reservations regarding that proposal, pending further
analysis by Ausmar and consultation with St. Hubert's and VOP I, LLC. Ausmar remains optimistic that
the issues will be favorably worked-out among St. Hubert's, VOP I and Ausmar.
,
·
·
Therefore, Ausmar supports City Council approval of St. Hubert's proposal, provided that the City
Council approval requires an amendment to the existing POO Agreement to effectuate the change and
provided that the amendment to the POO Agreement requires Ausmar's signature to be effective. It is our
understanding that this is, in fact, the proposal.
·
In summary, Ausmar opposes any such proposal that is not implemented pursuant to an amendment to the
existing POO Agreement that requires execution by Ausmar. Ausmar supports City Council approval of
St_ Hubert's proposal, provided that it is implemented pursuant to an amendment to the existing POO
Agreement that requires Ausmar's signature to be effective.

Re: Villages on the Ponds
Dear Ms. Aanenson:
Please make this letter a part of the Planning Commission record. We represent Ausmar Development
Company, LLC ("Ausmar"), which was the initial developer of the Villages on the Ponds development in
Chanhassen, and which continues to own the developable property within Villages on the Ponds. As you
may be aware, the VOP I, LLC and Ausmar entered into an option agreement by which VOP I would
have the option to acquire most (but not all) of the remaining developable property within Villages on the
Ponds.
It is my understanding that this evening's Planning Commission agenda includes a proposal to add
33,500 square feet of institutional development capacity to the St. Hubert's property. Adding that
capacity to the St. Hubert's site will diminish the remaining available capacity for the balance of the
project Wbile it may be represented that the adverse impact on development capacity to the balance of
the project is minimal, it may ultimately have a greater impact than currently contemplated. The exact
ultimate effect is simply unknown at this time. This may adversely affect the property that Ausmar has
retained that is not subject to the VOP I option agreement. This may also adversely affect Ausmar if
VOP I does not exercise its option rights (and there are certainly no assurances that VOP I will exercise
such option rights).

Having descn'bed the possible negative impact on Ausmar, Ausmar is nonetheless generallv in favor of
the Sl Hubert's proposal. However. Ausmar would like assurances that the final approval will be
conditioned upon (i) amending the existing PUD to effectuatc this change and (ii) expressly requiring
A~;s signature on the POO amendment for it to be effective. In other words, Ausmar would like to
see this happen; however, Ausmar, understandably, wants assurances that it will remain in the loop and
involved in the process so that it can better analyze the possible impact.
In summary, Ausmar supports the St. Hubert's proposal, provided that the Planning Commission's
approval includes an express condition that the change be implemented pursuant to an amendment to the
cxisting POO agreement, which amendment must be approved and signed by Ausmar. Without that
express condition, Ausmar opposes the proposal because Ausmar has not yet had a reasonable opportunity
to analyze the potential adverse impact concerning parking and capacity.
Thank you for your attention to this.
Sincerely,
L2z~~
