PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
' The applicants are requesting approval to construct a new retail
addition to the Frontier Center complex. The center will encompass
16,116 gross square feet, of which 11,822 square feet is new
construction and 4,294 square feet is reuse of existing space. The
' existing space is currently occupied by the Animal Fair building.
The balance of this site was formerly occupied by a building that
most recently housed Hooked on Classics. That building was removed
' to facilitate construction of the adjacent Country Hospitality
Suites Hotel. In accordance with general concept plans for this
complex generated previously, the new retail will be provided with
' a covered pedestrian link to the Country Hospitality Suites Hotel.
Ultimately, conceptual plans envision the construction of a skyway
from the new shopping center into the existing Frontier Center
building which will allow 'weather controlled access from the hotel
through the retail complex to the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. The
retail center is designed around a central corridor for pedestrians
and will be provided with two entrances. Plans call for the
' construction of a 5, 000 square foot full service restaurant towards
the rear of the new addition where it will overlook the courtyard
that separates it from the hotel. Building architecture is
consistent with adjacent buildings that utilize wood siding with a
cedar shake shingle roof that would also be used to screen roof top
mounted equipment.
' Staff is supportive of the general concept being proposed. It has
long been envisioned that there would be a retail service center
connected by weather controlled pedestrian walkways linking the
hotel to the dinner theatre. There are obvious benefits to all
properties involved including the addition of substantial new
pedestrian traffic for retail tenants, provision of restaurant
services for the hotel and for the community and more effective
utilization of parking facilities through joint parking
arrangements. However, staff has a significant reservation with
parking adequacy for this proposal and over the applicants
' inability to produce an overall development scheme that effectively
ties together future development of all properties in their
control, including those oriented to the south of the existing
retail strip. At the City's request, Hoisington and Associates
undertook a parking analysis of the proposal which was designed to
build upon their previous work in this area. A copy of the full
report is attached to the staff report, however, the general
conclusion is that there is an overall shortfall of spaces in the
entire complex and more importantly, there is a short-fall of
spaces that is anticipated in the area that will directly serve the
' entire Frontier Center retail development. However, the report
goes on to note that a parking short-fall, when it occurs, is not
likely to materialize until existing retail tenants are replaced by
uses that capitalize on the traffic being drawn into the center and
I
II
Frontier Retail Center
August 15, 1990
Page 3
thereby generate higher traffic demand. The Zoning Ordinance
allows the City to consider joint parking arrangements such as the
one being proposed to satisfy City ordinances. Unfortunately,
parking studies of this nature are not an exact science but
represent educated guesses as to what will occur based upon studies
of similar situations elsewhere. Staff continues to have
significant reservations over parking suitability for this
addition. We in no way believe that current experience in the
shopping center will represent what will occur in the future and 111 are particularly concerned with the additional 5,000 square foot
restaurant space since this will generate large parking demands at
times the center is going to have the least amount of parking
available. However, based upon the recommendations of the City's
consultant, staff is recommending acceptance of the parking plan.
At the same time we strongly believe that if parking is to work on
this site, a series of conditions are required. These conditions
include:
1. Permanent cross access and parking easements shall be filed
over all properties that comprise of the Frontier
Center/Bloomberg/Dinner Theatre/Hotel complex. The easement
shall involve the City in the chain of title so that rights
cannot be unilaterally eliminated by property owners in the
future.
2. A parking area with room for 40 automobiles shall be paved at
the rear of the complex in the vicinity of the current
location of Hooked on Classics. The owner will be responsible
for ensuring that all retail tenants are required to have
employees park in this rear parking area to free up stalls in
the front. An appropriate requirement shall be placed in all
lease agreements. The owner should be held liable for
compliance. I
3. No new food establishments shall be considered over and above
the current restaurant, anywhere in the Frontier Center
complex, the hotel or in the dinner theatre. This condition
will be enforced until an acceptable overall development plan
described below has been prepared and accepted by the City.
4. At the time the new addition is granted a certificate of
occupancy, all rental equipment currently located in parking
stalls along West 78th Street be removed. The property owner
shall be held responsible for this requirement.
5. The owner will ensure that no snow will be stored in the
111
parking lot. As necessary, snow shall be removed from the
affected area.

I6. No new additions or modifications to buildings or uses of any
of the involved properties will be considered unless they are
I part of a coordinated development program that addresses the
design, access and parking needs of the entire complex.
I 7. No truck delivery parking will be allowed anywhere in the
north parking lot of the Frontier Center between 11:30 a.m.
and 1:30 p.m. on weekdays.
I 8. The driveway running between the north and south parking lots
shall be paved. At the present time, this is in very poor
condition.
IA replat of the property is required to support this proposal. At
the present time, a lot line is actually located so that it will
I pass through the middle of the restaurant. This is unacceptable to
staff from a zoning ordinance standpoint and also is unacceptable
to our Building Inspectors. The applicant has been informed of
this on several occasions but has failed to submit a subdivision
I request. Staff, however, has taken the opportunity to publish the
replat, therefore, we are recommending that preliminary plat
- approval be granted to relocate property lines become consistent
II with the redevelopment proposal and provided a condition that says
that no building permit shall be issued until final plat has been
approved and the plat filed with all the required easements with
the County.
IBACKGROUND
II As the Planning Commission is aware, development on this and
adjoining properties has been an ongoing process since the advent
of the Dinner Theatre. There have been numerous redevelopment
I proposals and actual development projects that have involved
developers, the City of Chanhassen and the Chanhassen Housing and
Redevelopment Authority. The most recent development has been the
construction of the Country Hospitality Suites Hotel which is due
I to open this month. The Frontier Center addition is consistent
with an overall plan designed to anchor retail with the hotel on
the west end and the Dinner Theatre on the east.
IIGENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
II Given the highly developed nature of this site and the desire to
construct a pedestrian linkage between adjacent buildings, there is
not a tremendous amount of design flexibility available on this
site. The building is oriented towards West 78th Street and will
I be served by access points and parking lots that are used in common
with the hotel on the west and the existing complex on the east.
Interior retail spaces will generally be oriented towards the
IIbuilding exterior along the parking lot while the restaurant space
I
•
II
Frontier Retail Center I
August 15, 1990
Page 5
will be located off an internal corridor with views out over a
landscaped courtyard that separates it from the adjacent hotel.
Staff can offer little in the way of design improvements to the
site plan; however, we do have reservations with it. Our primary
concerns are that this and adjoining buildings are oriented to the
north towards a parking area that is simply too small to
accommodate all of the demand. The second is that the applicant
has yet come to grips with the need to reorient the site to the
south so that development can occur in the future and that long
term parking situations can be adequately resolved. As an example
we note that the current proposal will leave a driveway from the
north parking lot the south intact, however, this driveway is not
sufficiently wide or attractive enough to induce customers to park
. on the lower level. Internally the way in which the development is
being laid out makes future connection to the south all the more
difficult. We believe that to address these matters in a
significant and effective way, will require a major rethinking of
the site layout and could involve the removal of all or a portion
of the existing Frontier Building or other structure to open up
access between the north and the south. In addition, there will
have to be an active design effort aimed at facilitating the
passage of people between the different elevations that occur from 11 the north to the south. How this will be done internally and or
externally remains an open question at this time.
Architecturally, the building is consistent with the architectural 1
styles that have been employed on the existing Frontier Center
complex/Dinner Theatre and with the new hotel. The exterior
incorporates 8 inch cedar lap siding that will be painted. No
color has been indicated for the building, however, staff believes
that it should be painted in earth tones similar to either the
existing Frontier Building or to the hotel and is accordingly
provided as a condition. Two entrances are provided, one being the
existing Animal Fair entrance and the other being a more prominent
canopy covered entrance oriented to the new parking lot. The roof
line incorporates the built up mansard roof sections that have
become common in the community and are effective in screening roof
top mounted HVAC equipment. Hand split cedar shakes will be
utilized as the roofing material. Face brick employed on the
existing Animal Fair building will be carried under the windows of
the new addition. Plans seem to indicate that the face brick will
end at the new entrance to the building. Staff is recommending
that this feature be carried along to the west up to the pedestrian
corridor to the hotel to promote uniformity and design.
Detailed information is not provided on truck access or trash '
storage. Based upon the design of the center, it appears as though
trucks could use a loading dock and exterior trash storage located
on the east side of the building off the driveway between the north 1
II
Frontier Retail Center
August 15, 1990
Page 6
and south parking lots. Staff believes that this may work in the
short run but in the long run this conflicts with the need to open
up access from the north to the south. We believe that internal
trash storage will likely be a requirement in the future and would
advocate that provisions be made. In the meantime, the exterior
' trash storage area should be provided with a masonry enclosure
comprised of materials compatible with the building exterior. At
the present time the dumpster is sitting outside without any
screening and we seriously doubt that a single trash dumpster will
' be sufficient to accommodate the trash disposal needs of a retail
addition and more importantly a restaurant. Details of the trash
enclosure should be provided for staff approval.
PARKING/INTERNAL CIRCULATION
Assessing parking demand and availability for this site is an
extremely difficult exercise. It is made complicated by the fact
that the most intensely used parking area, which will be shared by
the new retail addition, is also the smallest and least able to
supply additional stalls. We also note that there are multiple
ownership situations due to previous subdivision activity. The
complex that is bordered by West 78th Street, Market Boulevard,
' Hwy. 101 and the railroad tracks. When the parking situation is
reviewed, we find that many of the stalls are located no where near
the primary parking demand in front of the Frontier Building.
Additional complexity is added by the fact that the ordinance
establishes parking requirements based on specific square footages
which this proposal in no way complies with. However, it
encourages joint use parking plans to be considered as appropriate
' and if acceptable these can be utilized without variances being
required. The last complication has to do with peaking hours since
the dinner theatre, bowling alley, hotel and new restaurant uses
will have evening peak hours, while the retail and restaurant will
have daytime peak hours. There is also a concern that over time
retail hours will be extended into the evening to take advantage of
theatre and hotel traffic. Given the complexity of this issue, the
' Hoisington Group was retained to perform a parking analysis. Fred
Hoisington is uniquely qualified to undertake this study since his
organization has performed similar analysis in the past in the same
' development.
Based strictly on zoning ordinance requirements, the 11,116 square
feet of retail plus 5,000 square feet of restaurant being proposed
on this site generates a requirement of 156 parking stalls. There
will only be 43 new stalls on site constructed according to this
plan. Thus, for parking to be accommodated, it is required that a
joint parking program with adjoining properties be required.
Hoisington's analysis attempts to gain an understanding of how
joint parking on this site may work. •The report is printed in full
and accompanies this staff report. A summary of the conclusions
Frontier Retail Center f
August 15, 1990
Page 7
includes that a total of 957 spaces will be available with the
total requirement at peak use of 945 stalls. However, this is
misleading since the stalls are not located in the areas where they
have any utility for the new Frontier Center. More importantly,
parking demands for the old Frontier development plus the new
Frontier Center will peak during the noon hour and the 4:00 p.m. to
6:00 p.m. periods when approximately 150 parking stalls will be
required with a total of 143 being available. Weekday noon-time
peaks are also likely to become a concern due to restaurant use as
retail traffic increases. It is thought that the dinner theatre
will not compete significantly for parking during these periods.
The report concludes that the parking situation is not ideal
although in the short run it may work. As time goes on and retail
tenants are replaced by more active uses, there will clearly be a
parking short-fall. Until that occurs, parking demand will exceed
supply infrequently.
Staff is not entirely comfortable with the conclusions of the
report. We believe that parking short-falls in this area could
have serious on site and off site repercussion. On site traffic
movements could become difficult if not hazardous, resulting in
diminished satisfaction with shopping in the Chanhassen Central
Business District, traffic safety hazards and potentially fire
safety or emergency vehicle access problems. Off-site problems
could result with traffic stacking on public streets and spilling
over into other parking lots in the area that are already being
utilized by their property owner. However, in light of the
recommendations of the consultant's report, staff is willing to
recommend approval of this project but only in accordance with a
series of well defined and directed conditions that will be used to
address the problem and to mitigate it's effects. These include
the following:
1. Permanent cross access and parking easements shall be filed 1
over all properties that comprise of the Frontier
Center/Bloomberg/Dinner Theatre/Hotel complex. The easement
shall involve the City in the chain of title so that rights '
cannot be unilaterally eliminated by property owners in the
future.
2. The parking area with room for 40 automobiles shall be paved '
at the rear of the complex in the vicinity of the current
location of Hooked on Classics. The owner will be responsible
for ensuring that all retail tenants are required to have
employees park in this rear parking area to free up stalls in
the front. An appropriate requirement shall be placed in all
lease agreements. The owner should be held liable for
compliance.

3. No new food establishments shall be considered over and above
the current restaurant, anywhere in the Frontier Center
complex, the hotel and dinner theatre. This condition wil be
' enforced until an overall development plan described beiwo has
been prepared and accepted by the City.
' 4. At the time the new addition is granted a certificate of
occupancy, all rental equipment currently located in parking
stalls along West 78th Street shall be removed. The property
owner shall be held responsible for this requirement.
' 5. The owner will ensure that no snow will be stored in the
parking lot. As necessary, snow shall be removed from the
' effected area.
6. No new additions or modifications to buildings or uses of any
' of the involved properties will be considered unless they are
part of a coordinated development program that addresses the
design, access and parking needs of the entire complex.
' 7. No truck delivery parking will be allowed anywhere in the
north parking lot of the Frontier Center between 11: 30 a.m.
and 1:30 p.m. on weekdays.
8. The driveway running between the north and south parking lots
shall be paved. At the present time, this is in very poor
condition.
Internal circulation and access to the Center is satisfactory so
long as movements are not affected by the aforementioned parking
problems. Staff has also devoted some discussion to the long term
needs and short term requirements for improving access between the
north and south parking lots. The parking lot layout is consistent
with new parking lots serving the existing Frontier Building and
with the Country Suites Hotel that border the site. There is an
unusual and potentially dangerous design of parking stalls located
immediately in front of the existing Animal Fair building. The
proposal calls for parking around the radius of a curve. We
believe that this has the potential for creating traffic movement
conflicts since cars will be backing out at unusual angles into 3
oncoming streams of traffic. We are recommending that the radius
be eliminated and that parking be provided in a continuous band
parallel to existing aisles in the parking lot. Revised detail of
this area as suggested by staff is provided. We are also are
proposing the concrete sidewalk be carried to the eastern property
line so that it will facilitate pedestrian cross traffic throughout
the Center. Staff's proposal results in the creation of one
additional parking stall.

LANDSCAPING
The landscaping plan is unusually modest and represents little in
the way of new plant material. There is very limited room for
landscaping on this site and extensive landscaping has already been
provided along the street right-of-way and surrounding the hotel.
Existing plant material in front of the existing Animal Fair
building will also be preserved. Staff wishes there was some
effective way to get additional landscaping installed but there
simply is not.
DRAINAGE AND UTILITIES
There are few issues pertaining to drainage and utilities since the '
site has already been intensively developed and is already
serviced. The Engineering Department is recommending that a
separately metered, privately owned and maintained water service
shall be installed and connected to the existing 8 inch watermain
under the proposed parking lot. A detail of this improvement has
been provided in a report from the Assistant City Engineer. They
are also recommending that the proposed building disconnect and
remain permanently disconnected from the existing water service
extending from the building to the east. No revisions are proposed
or requested to drainage or sanitary sewer improvements.
FIRE AND BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS
The City Fire Marshal has recommended 3 conditions for approval as
follows:
1. Install "No Parking and Fire Lane" signs as per Fire
Department requirements.
2. Indicate the location of Fire Department sprinkler connection
for approval.
3. Radius cuts in the parking areas must be approved by the City '
Engineering Department to ensure unrestricted access of fire
vehicles.
The building will be fully sprinklered and will meet all current
fire codes. The City Building Official has provided an attached
memorandum outlining requirements for final plans.
SIGNAGE/LIGHTING
Staff has requested the applicant's architect provide some detail '
of proposed signage which is illustrated only on the transparency
reductions accompanying this report. Apparently, they wish to
retain the existing pylon sign located on West 78th Street and
I
Frontier Retail Center
August 15, 1990
Page 10
' supplement this with 9 mansard mounted tenant signs and 1 shopping
center identification sign located over the main building entrance.
' It is indicated that the signage will be approximately 24 feet high
with "particular design to be determined per tenant". Staff finds
this signage proposal to be unacceptable and inconsistent with the
retail complex being proposed. We note that the number of signs
appears to be excessive since there are 9 mansard signs for what is
apparently only 5 tenant spaces and that there is really no detail
provided as to total sign area or acceptable sign style. The
' ordinance allows one wall business sign per street frontage for
each business occupant within a building with total wall mounted
signage not to exceed 15% of the total wall area. The ordinance
further requires that under Section 20-1267 that multi tenant and
' commercial and industrial buildings shall have uniform signage.
Staff is recommending that a set of sign covenants acceptable to
the City be developed. These covenants should provide for unified
' signage such that all tenants, for example would use mansard
mounted back-lit letters of similar size and that sign areas
appropriate to the tenant be established. Staff would also prefer
' that the existing pylon sign which is inappropriately located and
poorly designed be replaced. However, we are willing to accept it
so long as the reader board aspect of it is eliminated. The pylon
sign should be used solely to advertise the Frontier Center itself
and one or two major tenants. A revised sign package should be
prepared for Planning Commission approval.
SITE LIGHTING
No details have been provided on site lighting. It is assumed that
existing parking lot lighting will generally suffice. Plans for
any new lighting should be submitted for staff for approval. All
lighting sources must be fully screened.
' PLATTING
The current proposal will result in the building being bisected by
an existing property line. The line will actually cross through
the area designated for the restaurant. Staff has indicated on
several occasions that this is unacceptable based on zoning code
and building code requirements and has requested a preliminary plat
' for the area be prepared. To date, the applicant has not provided
this platting information, however, staff has taken the liberty of
advertising the subdivision. Since we believe that this is a
rather simple request that will result in the relocation of the
property line in a manner consistent with the exterior building
wall, we are recommending that preliminary plat be approved but
1 that no building permits be issued until final plat has been
approved by the City Council and the plat and all required
easements have been filed. The easements in question refer to .
cross parking and access easements that will be filed against this

PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE
The Planning Commission discussed this item at their August 15th
meeting. In keeping with the staff report, the discussion at the
meeting was lengthy and focused on the parking issues. The
Planning Commission ultimately voted to recommend approval with
most of the conditions recommended by staff, although there were
several modifications and deletions. Since the meeting several
actions have taken place which serve to further modify the
conditions. For example, we note that the driveway between the
upper and lower parking lot is currently in the process of being
repaved as part of the City improvement project. Therefore,
condition #2h in the Planning Commission minutes can be deleted. '
A few days after the Planning Commission meeting, staff contacted
Clayton Johnson requesting copies of cross parking and access 11• easements he claims to have in his possession so that we may have
them reviewed by the City Attorney. Mr. Johnson indicated that he
would supply them to us but to date, we have not seen them.
Therefore, we are recommending that Condition #2a remain as
drafted. Condition #2a requires that the developer present the
City with verifiable and acceptable easements to allow cross
parking on adjacent properties since this is a requirement if this
' Frontier Retail Center
August 15, 1990
Page 14
shopping center is to function adequately as there is no where near
enough parking to meet the demands generated on site.
' In the staff report, staff indicated that a replat of the property
was required to meet zoning ordinances and building code. This is
a condition that we have informed the applicant of since the start
of negotiations of this project but have yet to receive any
' , cooperation in this matter. At the Planning Commission meeting,
, the applicant's attorney indicated that they are willing to
undertake a metes and bounds division which staff agreed we would
1 run past the City Attorney to see if this was in fact acceptable.
To date, no such metes and bounds division has been submitted and
Condition #8 is designed to accommodate this need.
Staff remains concerned with two of the conditions that have been
deleted by the Planning Commission. The first pertains to the
parking of rental equipment in the parking lot. Staff had
recommended that at the time the new shopping center addition is
granted a certificate of occupancy, all rental equipment currently
located in the parking stalls along West 78th Street be removed.
' Staff notes that this material is placed in the parking lot in
violation of current ordinances but since it has traditionally been
there, staff has not yet taken any action. We further note that as
of September 6 at least two vehicles with "for sale" signs are also
located in the lot in violation of ordinances. We strongly believe
that these spaces will be required to satisfy parking demand of the
' shopping center and therefore, recommended that this action be
taken. In corroborating our concerns, we note that on Tuesday,
August 21st, during a visit to the Frontier Center at noon, that
entire Dinner Theatre parking lot was full as was the entire
Frontier Center parking lot. Approximately 10 to 15 cars parked in
the newer parking lot towards the hotel, simply because there was
no room to accommodate them. Tuesday is not a traditionally busy
I day since the matinees are at the Dinner Theatre on Wednesdays. We
note that this parking shortfall occurred before the new shopping
center addition, with it's high demand restaurant, was open. The
Planning Commission believed that staff should take action to
remove the rental equipment based on current ordinances and that
this should be done independent of this site plan approval. Staff
is not unwilling to do this, however, we view this situation as
' relatively short term since the hardware store is intended to '
relocate into Market Square. We are recommending that this
condition be reinstated and that it be an obligation of the
' developer to enforce.
The second condition that was deleted by the Planning Commission
pertained to a staff proposal that parking for up to 40 automobiles
be paved at the rear of the complex at the vicinity of the current
location of Hooked on Classics. Staff believed that this was
important since it is recommended and agreed to by the applicant
I
Frontier Retail Center
August 15, 1990
Page 15 '
that employees be asked to park at the rear of the building,
however, there is no suitable place for them to park. The Planning
Commission deleted this condition, I believe in large part, due to
the developer's assertions that employee parking would be available
on the south side of the hotel adjacent to the bowling alley
entrance. Staff has had an opportunity to further investigate this
and we note the following:
1. The applicant has not indicated that they have any legal
right to use these parking spaces.
2 . These parking spaces are in high demand use by the
bowling alley are the first to be occupied since they are
located adjacent to the entrance of that facility.
3. Access to the shopping center addition is fairly
convoluted since it requires entering the new Country
Hospitality Suites through a back door which may be
locked in the evening or by going around the building on
a sidewalk that would run in between the hotel and the
new shopping center.
Staff finds this situation to be less than optimal. Therefore, we
are recommending that either the separate employee parking
requirement be reinstated or the applicant verify that they have
the right to use parking stalls in the bowling alley parking lot
and that in any case that employees of operations leasing space in
the shopping center would be required to park in these areas as a
condition of the lease. Staff is not certain as to whether 40
stalls is sufficient or is overkill. It was an estimate based upon
a projection of how many employees might be working in the shopping
center. We would be willing to accept a lower number if one is
verified by the developer. '

I Paul Krauss presented the staff report . Chairman Conrad called the public
hearing to order .
' Fred Hoisington : Don , it is I believe .
Conrad: You can call me Don or anything you want to Fred .
I Fred Hoisington: At least you didn 't leave tonight like you did the last
time I was here .
I Conrad: Well I was going to make the comment , it 's after 10:30 . It must
be time for Fred .
Fred Hoisington: That 's about right . I think it 's always 10:30 or after .
II Let me just say that we would very much liked to have had an overall plan
before we were to render an opinion on how the parking would work here .
We 're confident however that a plan can be developed that will in fact work
11 but what it 's going to require is that we not face everything onto West
78th Street and that we have to begin to internalize that block . The
difficulty right now though , as most of you know , is that the parameters
' are very well established for this project . You can't change it . I mean
you can cut little pieces of it off and reduce it 's size and so forth but
this is the kind of thing that as long as I 've been involved here we wanted
to see happen here . A restaurant , shops and those kinds of things so it 's
important we think that it occur and I guess the bottom line is that you
have time to work out or have them work out a plan over time that will in
fact work . We 're confident that that can happen . Now , if a number of
I things happen simultaneously on this site , or in this area , there is a real
potential for a parking problem . That can happen anyplace in downtown
Chanhassen but here I think maybe the risks are ever a little higher . The
II
. Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 50 1
Dinner Theatre is only operating at about 900 seat capacity today but
there 's more capacity in the Dinner Theatre than that . Now there are some '
divisions here that would suggest that we perhaps ought not consider the
Dinner Theatre but we can 't avoid that because if it is full , and the
potential exists for that to happen in November and December , then it will
use literally all of the parking that's in front of the old Frontier Cente
which means that the 43 parking spaces that are available to this
development alone can 't begin to satisfy it 's own parking demands . Now , i
the short term , and the short term could really be a lot longer than I can
visualize at this point . The centerpiece or the old Frontier Center over
to the furniture store doesn't operate during that peak 6:00 to 9:00
period . Only the hardware and the rental store do and they close at 7 : 30 . 1
The others close at 6:00 . What that means is that even if the Dinner
Theatre is operating at something approaching capacity , and the new
Frontier Center is operating at something approaching capacity , you 're
probably in pretty good shape for quite a long period into the future . Nov
what we hope will happen here is that this center will be so successful
that it will bring a lot more people into this area than we can ever
imagine and when we were out there counting cars for the Dinner Theatre , Ill
think it was 2 weeks ago , it was depressing because there were no cars
there at all . But what you see today is not what you 're going to see in
the future and if this has any chance of being successful , which I think it�
has , I think we 're going to see some things next door that will also be
successful and the synergy of this whole thing will or does have the
potential to create a parking problem but I don 't think you 're risking I
anything in the short term in that case . Regarding the report itself , I
guess if you 'd like to ask questions about any of the specifics there , I 'd
be happy to answer them but I 'm not sure unless you want me to , to go into I
all those percentages and so forth in detail .
Conrad: I 'm just curious Fred , what the parking solution is .
Fred Hoisington: Well Ladd , the parking solution is one that is an
evolving one . It 's not one where you can necessarily solve it all right
now because this whole piece is going to remain as it is . It 's not going J1
to change . Paul and I have been exploring or thinking about all the thing
that could happen here and we 've been looking at this whole center area for
a long time and trying to figure out ways to make that work . Short of
tearing down this building and then internalizing things so that you in
fact have parking on the back side . You have plenty of room for parking
out here . The only problem is you have a grade change here and somehow yo
have to be able to step down that hill so that you can make this parking
work for that center and we think it can be designed to do that but the
immediacy of doing that isn 't here because there isn't development yet for
this center . And it functions at less than what we would expect it to
generate in the way of parking because it's not a real strong but the
solution Ladd will come . . .and the short term , I don't think you 'll have a
problem . The short term is until something begins to happen here .
Conrad: Until they move out.
Fred Hoisington: Well , first of all the rental folks here are going to moll
out and that 's going to leave a rather peculiar space here that has to be
used for something but no . Until something changes here in the interim use .
II
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 51
Erhart: In a different structure?
Fred Hoisington: Possibly a different structure . I don 't think that
structure 's going to lend itself particularly a high generator of traffic .
I just don 't see it . For example ; that rental store , you 've got 6 ,000
square feet of what they term retail . It has 3 ,400. square feet I think of
storage and yet just the dimensions and the way it works , I don 't know that
' the whole 6 ,000 can be occupied for a retail use . It just doesn 't lend
itself to that so I think Tim you 're right . When the building changes ,
then I think we have some real serious problems .
' Erhart: Or opportunities .
Fred Hoisington : Or opportunities , exactly .
' Erhart : The real problem today is that there 's no convenient , there 's no
way to get from the rear parking lot to the front where the retail is
' without walking around some things . There 's no thru way to walk in .
Fred Hoisington : We 've thought about escalators , elevators , all those
things back here to get people easily out of the corner of this building
' and down into the back side but you know we can talk that all we want to .
We still have some space that needs to be used for something other than
warehouses , what this can be used for now , and this use we 're treating this
is as a warehouse . The Hooked on Classics portion of it because it really
isn 't a big generator except when they have shows . When they have shows of
course they don 't conduct them there , they conduct them someplace else .
' Conrad: Okay , thanks Fred . Clayton , do you want to talk to us?
Clayton Johnson: Clayton Johnson representing the Bloomberg Companies .
' I 've got a couple other gentlemen with me here tonight . I 've got John
Rice , our legal counsel and Herb Bloomberg our President and owner and I 'd
like to invite them to participate with me in this and maybe if you want to
' speak up a little bit , Herb might have a hard time hearing you . While you
guys were dealing with all these other weighty issues , we walked over to
the hotel tonight and we 're ready to open tomorrow night . We 've got two
floors ready to occupy and Friday and Saturday night we 're going to be sold
out . So that 's kind of a fun problem and it 's kind of exciting to go over
there and be a part of that . I thought that maybe a better use of our time
would be to adjourn and go over there because if you went over there you 'd
' understand a lot better a lot of the things that we 're going to talk about
tonight . Paul , you fooled me . I 'd never know that you recommended
approval of this thing by reading your report . The conclusions , the facts
underlying the recommendations don't lead me to believe that you support
it . I want to first of all deal with the parking issue . Parking is a
concern that 's been expressed by Paul and by Fred and obviously as owners
of this property we 're concerned about it . We certainly wouldn 't want .to
build a building that we couldn't rent to anybody because there wasn 't a
place to park . I do disagree though with some of the conclusions . Fred's
report basically to me supports the program and supports the project . I
I don 't know where Paul drew the conclusion that parking was a problem from
Fred's report . When I read Fred 's report and he says it isn't a problem .
The long term concerns , somebody made the comment tonight that when
II
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 52 1
hardware vacates we 're going to have a more intense use there . I don't
agree with that . The hardware is a very intense use . I don 't believe
you 're going to find tenants that will generate more visits than Kent does
in that location . It happens that that building is not 6 ,000 feet of
retail facing the front , it 's 4 ,000. It 's approximately 5-20 foot bays 60 '
feet deep . The way we look at this project is as follows . We think that
over the years there 's been all this discussion about how we 're going to
connect the hotel to the Dinner Theatre and how we 're going to have people '
going back and supporting that retail . That 's a lovely thought but it 's
not a fact . We have not been successful with retail that lives off of the
theatre trade . What you have from the hotel to the furniture store is a
convenience center that is a mirror image of what you have on the other
side of the street in Retail West . And I did an analysis of that and the
parking stalls in that area are 164 . You have 153 on Retail West right
across the street . Now the comparisons are as follows . We will have , whell
this new building is completed, we will have 18,000 square feet of retail .
We will have 6 ,000 square feet of restaurant . We 'll have the new 5 ,000
square foot restaurant and Paul 's Deli of 1 ,000 . We will have 5 ,000 squaril
• feet of office which Retail West does not have and we 'll have 164 parking II
stalls to serve that area . So I mean parking is a concern of us before we
would ever . The other thing is this whole thing got started on the wrong I
foot . I mean we see this as the final piece in a big puzzle that we 've
been working on for 4 1/2 years which is called the redevelopment of
downtown Chanhassen . Sure we 're involved in working on the new retail
shopping center but that 's out in a raw piece of ground . That 's not
redevelopment . This is the final piece in the redevelopment puzzle . When !!
we agreed to have our building demolished and we demolished 30 ,000 feet by
the way of building to make way for the hotel , we didn 't ever consider tha
it would be a problem to rebuild 12 . We looked at these parking situation
long before we ever agreed to the demolition of our building . The other
thing and some of the comments that were made that were not contained in I
the report but were made tonight , the Dinner Theatre parking has changed .
I think it 's a mistake to judge the Dinner Theatre parking by what you
remember . The Dinner Theatre parking as you remember it was before we had
the new road in front of the Dinner Theatre . Before we created all the neil
parking over there and you probably recall as I do , when we had vehicles
parked all the way down in front of Frontier Center . I challenge that .
That 's changed . There 's been provision for bus parking and there 's a
substantial number of additional parking stalls up there on the theatre
parking lot so that's a new situation . I think it's going to be difficult
for us to come to some sort of a resolution tonight and I think that as
I 've been a part of these things in the past , the process shouldn 't be
where the staff report comes in and we sit here and disagree with every
single recommendation . I mean it puts you in a position where these things
should be worked out ahead of time but I guess in fairness to everybody, w�
had our submission ready on July 2nd . We were on the August 6th agenda .
We were pulled off the August 6th agenda because the staff report wasn 't
done . I got the staff report on Tuesday morning . Yesterday . I called I
Paul today to try to work some of these things out . We haven't been able
to so I mean I would be happy to go through the laundry list and give you
our feelings on each and every one but I think it 's going to be very
difficult and it 's a great inconvenience to us . Our financing on this
project unlike the shopping center , the financing is there . The
$375 ,000 .00 to build the building's in the bank . The hotel people are
•
Planning Commission Meeting
' August 15 , 1990 - Page 53
obviously very anxious for us to get that ugly sprinkler pipe covered up
before wintertime and get this building in place so time is of the essence
but I think it 's going to be very difficult . So Ladd if you want me to , I
will go through starting on page 2 and give you my comments .
' Conrad: Might as well .
Clayton Johnson: We go to page 3 in regard to the provisions in granting
this . Permanent cross access and parking easements .
Conrad: Just a second Clayton .
Emmings: He should go to page 11 and 12 .
Clayton Johnson: Okay , they cover them all? I just want to make sure that
I haven 't missed any other comments on their comments but I can do that .
Emmings: If you go through the conditions , I think it would be easier for
us to keep straight what you 're saying .
Clayton Johnson: Okay . I 've got them all marked up . Alright . Number 1 ,
' Herb 's designed , built everything in downtown Chanhassen . He doesn 't feel
he needs any architectural help . Revising the architectural plans to put
brick on , I think that 's over reaching . Trash storage facilities , we don 't
t have any problem with that and designing exterior trash storage with
masonry , that 's not an issue . On item number 2 . Permanent cross access
and parking easements shall be filed over properties that comprise the
Frontier Center/Bloomberg/Dinner Theatre/Hotel complex . The easement shall
involve the City in chain of title so that rights cannot be unilaterally
eliminated by property owners in the area . I 've got John Rice with me .
He 'd be happy to comment on that . That 's not acceptable . There are cross
' parking easements that currently exist between the hotel and our property .
There are currently cross parking existing between this center and the
Dinner Theatre but we are not going to be giving cross parking easements
' between this and the Dinner Theatre parcel . And the issue to accomplish it
in the chain of title . The financing 's already in place on the hotel . I
can 't go over . We don 't own the hotel . We have an interest in it . I
can 't go over and dictate to the hotel owners that they will grant an
' easement and that it will be recorded and that their lender will permit it .
I mean that 's outside of my control . The same thing is true on the Dinner
Theatre . The people that are operating the Dinner Theatre have an option
and in that option it's very specific that cross parking easements do occur
but I cannot go over there and dictate and their lenders that these will be
recorded and be in the chain of title . It's outside of our control .
' Parking for 40 automobiles. We own the city building to the rear . There 's
parking currently in place , hard surface parking to accommodate 300 and
some cars that we have the right to park on . If there 's a concern that we
provide parking for our employees , we would be more than happy to have them
' instruct them to park in that area but we don 't see any reason to construct
40 new paved parking spots on an area next to Hooked on Classics which is
currently under lease and they have the right to park there . We can 't go
' in and tell Hooked on Classics we 're going to take 40 parking stalls in
front of their door . Their lease currently protects them from that . No
new food establishments shall be considered . Here again , we don't have a
II
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 54
problem with restricting any new food establishments in our center . I
cannot sit here and guarantee you that the hotel will not have any food
establishments . I don 't own the hotel . We can 't tell you that the Dinner
Theatre can or cannot come in . To say in this development and to define
the development as the Frontier Center , everything that goes from the hote ll
to the Dinner Theatre , that 's very reasonable . We don 't have a problem
with that . At the time the new addition is granted , a certificate of
occupancy or Kent 's got to get his rental equipment out of there . Well , w
don 't want the building so bad we 're going to put Kent out of business . I
it 's a problem and if it becomes an issue at some point in time , but to say
that Kent cannot operate his rental business there . Number one , he
currently has a lease . We fully intend that he's going to be the new
shopping center but I don 't know if he 's going to be there or not and if h
isn 't , he 's going to want a stay . Kent 's been in this town for a number of
years . Been very successful in business . I don 't believe he wants to I
leave and I 'm not going to tell him that he has to leave . If the parking
at the rental is causing some sort of a problem , if there 's a parking issue
over there , that 's not objectionable . The snow storage is not an issue .
The next item 's very , no new additions or modifications to the building or
uses of any of the involved properties . Well here again , that 's a very
broad statement . We fully support the concept of a PUD and .we want to come
with a PUD for the balance of the property . All the property that faces ji
south . That is exactly what we want to do , however not in the current tim
frame . As you 've been aware of some of the other PUD processes goes on for
months and very honestly that rear of our property is not ready to be I
developed . The current use where we 've got Fragrance Marketing in there
and the warehouse function , that 's the current use today . I can 't rent it
for anything else . Hooked on Classics in the Frontier Building , that 's a
good use right now . At some point in time we would love to come with a nea'
plan and to do that in the form of a PUD is , at that time is not an issue
but that is currently very restrictive . And again , you have to understand
that we do not own the hotel property . You can 't give the broad brush on
all of these parcels . Truck deliveries , I don't know where that came from
That 's certainly nothing to argue about . The driveway running between the
north and south parking lot shall be paved . It was paved . It 's currently
been torn up as a part of a city project . The sewer and water project . I '
think there what you should do is get your engineering staff and ask them
to restore the premises in the condition in which they were prior to the
time construction took place . I 'm sure it 's the responsibility of the
contractor . There 's one issue that wasn 't covered in the staff report . I '
surprised that Public Safety didn't make an issue of it. We 're concerned
about it . There 's currently a sprinkler system that serves the bowling
alley and our property and that sprinkler system does not currently have a
shut off under the control of the bowling center . And somewhere the fire
marshall is going to have to work with us and with the bowling center and
tell us what the provisions for that should be . I don't believe that we
want , I don't think any of the old property owners want to have a situation
where their sprinkler system , the shut off for their sprinkler system is
outside of their control . That 's an issue that I think has to be resolved '
for our benefit as well as the bowling center . I do have to go back just
on a couple of things Steve because one of the issues here is , an
assumption has been made that we want to replat the property and we did no
�
intend to replat the property . John Rice is here and he 's happy to addres.
that but we don 't feel that the current city ordinance would require that .
II
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 55
We think it 's unnecessary at this point in time . We would have the
property all under common ownership but we feel that there aren 't any other
lenders involved . We feel that can be accomplished without going through
the replatting process . You know there's a comment in here in the staff
report about tearing down the Frontier Building . I don 't know where that
comes from . I mean the Frontier Building is a building of some 30 ,000 to
40 ,000 square feet . I can 't imagine . It 's never been our plans to tear it
down . It 's very valuable . It produces a significant amount of rental
income . I don 't know why we would consider tearing it down . I don 't know
where that came from . It certainly is , it 's a steel and concrete
' structure . It can be revised . What 'd I miss? Anything? Oh , yeah 3 .
Parking plans . That parking lot 's already in . That 's a city project
that 's been under construction . I hope we don 't have to tear it out . The
comment there is that it be reviewed but they 're just blacktopping that
' right now . There was a comment in the engineer 's report about the water
service . That 's item 4 . That 's all been done . That 's completed so that 's
okay . Sign plan . Signage is a problem . In our submittal what we did is
we took the current , there is a current , what do you call one of those big
tall signs? Pylon . Well , there 's an existing pylon sign and what we
propose to do in our submission is to move the pylon sign to the middle of
our property . The pylon sign currently sits right here and it was just
' relocated there and we plan on moving it here to define Frontier Center .
Frontier Center being here to here . The pylon sign in our submission was
to be relocated with entry monuments on either end . I don't know , Paul do
you have an issue with that or do you want to leave it where it is?
Krauss: Well , I guess I 'd really like to review it . I mean that wasn 't
clear from the plans I had that there 's entrance monuments as well . I 'm
11 - concerned about what 's on the signs so we 'd like to review that .
Clayton Johnson: Okay . Yeah, the entry monuments at both driveways and
' the pylon sign would announce the center and then a message board on there
for the tenants . You know on the landscaping , gee I thought the
landscaping is very elaborate . You know we 're taking advantage of all the
1 green space there that exists between the hotel and the building and that
we 're planning on the restaurant overlooking that area and the landscaping ,
if you 've got a set of our plans , we thought that we made the best possible
' use that we could of that . We stayed off the property line even more than
we were required to create that green space out there . One of the things
you should understand is we do not have a tenant to occupy that restaurant .
We will be building the shell but we want to make sure in this submission
and approval that we have the permission to go in with a 5 ,000 square foot
restaurant and it would be intended that the restaurant would be on the
area overlooking the green space there between the hotel and the shopping
center .
Conrad: How many parking stalls Clayton do you need for that restaurant?
Clayton Johnson: We figured , Paul what 's the City ordinance on a
restaurant?
Krauss: I think it 's 1 per 50 .
Clayton Johnson: 1 per 50 square feet?
r

Krauss : Yeah , gross . 1
Clayton Johnson: So 25 .
Conrad: See this is your business and you 've got to encourage somebody toll
come in there . If you 're going to put up a shell and encourage them in
there and you feel that a restaurant would come in and not feel . If they '
need 50 stalls , right there that would worry me and I 'm not getting into
your business but seeing what I see there for a restaurant , you don 't want
people walking . If you 've got to walk more than 300 feet , they 're not
going to do that . '
Clayton Johnson: There 's 43 right in front . For instance at the Riveria
there 's 53 to the east . The Riv 's 5 ,000 feet and they have 53 to the east "
Now they haven 't had the use of that for the last year and a half but
that 's what you have . We have 5 ,000 feet and we have 43 right in front .
Conrad: And you don 't think any prospect is going to be concerned with not,
having themselves right at the doorstep? That seems like a real negative . ■
Clayton Johnson: But one of the uses , you know I do pooh pooh the value oll
the Dinner Theatre/hotel in regard to the retail but in regard to the
restaurant , that 's a definite plus . A good share , I mean a significant
portin of the restaurant 's traffic is going to come from the hotel guests .
No doubt about it . And from people that are at either the theatre or the '
hotel . Sure we 're concerned . We don 't know how we can create any more
land though . I do that mirror image . I say here 's Retail West right
across the street . Same number of stalls . Same amount of square footage .
We have 5 ,000 square foot of office . I don't think the office is going to
conflict with the restaurant in terms of parking and we mirror that right
across the street . We 've operated Retail West , I mean we haven 't operated '
it but you 've seen it operate now . Retail West 's been in existence for a
year a half and they 've operated without the 53 stalls. Retail West and
the Riveria have been operating with whatever they 've got there . I don 't •
know what they 've got there . I don 't know what they 've got .
Ahrens: But their restaurant in there only has about 2 occupied tables at
any given time. '
Clayton Johnson: The Riveria?
Ahrens: No , the other restaurant . The Chinese one . I
Clayton Johnson: Well it'd be similar to Millie's Deli . Millie 's Deli
isn 't even open in the evenings . They're closed at 4:00 and they 'll be
occupying approximately the same amount of footage .
Ahrens: That 's not similar to the restaurant you 're proposing?
Clayton Johnson: No , but the Riveria would •be. The Riveria would be
similar . Our restaurant will mirror the Riveria in size and I would think !'
less parking demand because it 's next to the hotel .

Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 57
' Krauss: If I could clarify a couple things . These are arguments or
discussions that we 've batted around periodically on a number of meetings .
I think Fred can possibly shed some light on this comparison between the
two shopping centers and also we 've had several meetings to try to
' rationalize the sets of numbers that we 're starting with . But the
restaurant alone generates a parking requirement for 100 stalls .
Clayton Johnson: At 5 ,000 , yeah .
Krauss: And there 's 43 stalls on this property .
Clayton Johnson: Well the Riveria generates the same need . They 're
exactly the same square footage .
' Wildermuth: 100 stalls instead of 50?
Clayton Johnson: And they have 53 .
Krauss: At 50 square foot per stall gross , yes .
Clayton Johnson: But Paul isn 't it true that the CBD , the whole purpose of
the CBD is to accommodate . I mean what did we envision? What did we
envision when we started this whole process and tore down that 30 ,000
square foot building? I 'd like you to walk over there . I think it looks a
hell of a lot better today than it did last October .
Krauss: Much of this 30 ,000 square foot building is now containing the
hotel . I mean there 's not a- full trade off here . There 's a lot of history
here . I depend on the City Manager for the history . I asked him to review
this report . He has . He's comfortable with it . Fred can expand on some
of the details in terms of comparison . We're pretty comfortable with what
we 're saying . It 's really up to you to decide . I think it's clear that
this is not something that we 're going to be able to work out . I mean
Clayton called me up this morning and said well what can we do to work this
out and I said well Clayton , you 've got the report in your hand. That 's
our recommendation . That 's what we think it's going to take to make this
thing work .
Clayton Johnson: It puts the commission in a tough position . I mean you
know .
Emmings: Not really because I have to go home .
Clayton Johnson: Well we would have liked to have worked this out starting
July 2nd . I mean we're here now .
Krauss : If I could clarify that too . July 2nd , we met . We asked for and
received assurances that we would receive an overall development plan which
we never got . We got some of the materials and there were a few materials
missing . The item was delayed once . I will take part blame for that . I
think Clayton was on vacation too the same time I was and didn 't return my
I call when I got back into town so there 's a fair amount of discussion as to
how the delay occurred . But be that as it may , here's where it sits today
and do with it what you will .

Planning Commission Meeting 11 August 15 , 1990 - Page 58
Conrad: Fred, are there other things that you can respond to based on II hearing? I 'm sure you 've heard both sides or know where everybody 's at .
Fred Hoisington: . . . .Ladd that I never agree with Clayton 's numbers . His "
comparisons and so forth . I think there are differences between the two
sides of the street but on the other hand I don't think that 's worthy of
arguing over . We 've already done that between us . I think the more
pertinent question at this point is whether these conditions that Paul is II
recommending are necessary and we 've talked about that and we think they
are pretty necessary . I can appreciate that Clayton does have some problem
or might have some problems with a couple of them . I think he 's disagreeinil
on everything there but a couple might be difficult to do but I think most
of them are pretty doable if we could just agree .
Clayton Johnson: Do you want Kent to move out? '
Fred Hoisington : No .
Clayton Johnson: Well , why 'd you put it in?
Krauss: It 's getting late and people tend to get testy and I really don 't "
want to do that at this point . Nobody 's asking , the rental equipment you
know you can continue to rent rental equipment . You just don 't have to put
it on main street for everybody to see and I think it 's a ridiculous
argument to say that somebody 's trying to throw anybody out because that 'll
certainly not the case here .
Conrad: Okay . Well , this is a public hearing .
John Rice: I promise to be brief . Mr . Chairman , my name is John Rice .
I 'm counsel for Bloomberg Companies . I just want to respond to a couple o
things . The tear down of the building . There was two parts . There 's the
10 ,000 square foot part and then there's the other part that stuck out .
There was a study that the City commissioned by BRW as to whether or not
that second part of the building should be torn down completely or whether
only the outer northern facade and wall and somewhat back into the east an
west wall should be torn down . And then the rebuilding of that building .
Go on from there to have the retail purposes adjacent to the hotel . Now
we had the east and west walls standing , would we be having this
converstaion? BRW recommended that the whole thing come down because
you 'll end up with a better end product but we wouldn't be having this
discussion if we had an east and west wall standing there . Would we?
Would you say , gee you 've got to leave it because you don 't have enough
parking to do what you want to do and throughout all of this , the plan has
been exactly the plan that's proposed here . A complimentary retail/arcade"
mall area that compliments and provides an access and transition to and
from the hotel . I want to speak just to matters of title.. Mr . Johnson has
covered all the other things and so I won't reiterate what he said . That
doesn 't mean I don 't agree with him but just as far as title . Bloomberg
doesn 't control the hotel partnership . I can assure you of that . I was
involved in that transaction . Bloomberg does not control International
Theatre Corporation . Mr . Scalon. I was involved in that transaction . I '
can assure you that we don't control him . We cannot control what these
other entities do and have for legal rights to operate their business in
I
II
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 59
space that they either lease or own . We don't control those mortagees . We
don 't control our own mortagees . We are more controlled by them and we
can 't dictate cross easements . Easements that they consent to this . That
' they consent to an additional encumbrance on land . Just can 't be done .
Another thing . Even if there is a cross easement , despite the
recommendation that the City be in the chain of title so that the things
cannot be unilaterally changed , that is not acceptable to have the City be
' in the position where all of that is controlled by the City and that no
change can be made or for each and every change in the transfer , change or
transfer in the ownership or mortgaging of the property , that the
' accommodations of the City must be sought and obtained . And that applies
to each and every one of the places where something is going to come in in
the chain of title . Cross easements . There is a cross easement with the
' hotel property . Between the hotel and this piece of property so there is
access to the hotel parking spaces for this property as does the hotel have
access to this property for overflow parking . Each case it 's for overflow
parking . Finally , in regards to the question of platting . Mr . Krauss and
I disagree about whether or not platting is required . I have read the
ordinance and I think I have all of it . The subdivision ordinance .
There 's not a requirement that the property be replatted . It may be
' inconvenient to have two separate parcels in some circumstance forming one
parcel that is the property that we 're acting on but what we 're talking
about taking is 21 feet in depth off of what is Lot 3 of the Chanhassen
Mall and it 's basically in the cantilevered area north of the Fragrance
Marketing section . .21 feet by approximately , I don 't know, 50 feet . Not a
very large piece . If you 're going to replat , what then has to be replatted
is Lot 2 , Block 1 , Bloomberg Addition with it 's related easements onto the
' other property and all of , not just the 21 feet down into Lot 3 ,
Chanhassen Mall but the entirety of Chanhassen Mall and there are so many
encumbrances on Chanhassen Mall by reason of the party walls . That means
' that the City will have to sign the plat . That means that Mr . Dorrick over
in the Bowling Alley 's going to have to sign the plat and you 're talking
about a , you 're just talking about a tremendous additional burden . If
I may quote the Chairman in good will , we heard before that you do not want
to interject the government unnecessarily into the affairs of the
management of property and this is a case to require replatting where it 's
not legally required by the ordinance even though under some circumstances
' it might be beneficial . It is an unnecessary and unduly expensive
intrusion into how the property is handled and platted and described . All
it takes is a simple variance approval by the Council of a metes and bounds
description that is less than the required 5 acres or 2 1/2 acres under the
ordinance . That 's all it takes and you attach it to the existing Lot 2 ,
Block 1 , Bloomberg Addition and you 've got your property and you 've got
your lot . Thank you .
Krauss: Could I address at least two of those things. In terms of the
.platting . Frankly , I mean I don't know if Mr . Rice wants to go into metes
and bounds division , if we 'll find that acceptable or not but at the
present time you 're being asked- to accept , I mean the CBD has a 0 setback .
This building has a negative 21 foot setback . That 's not permissible . Mr .
Rice not only disagrees with me , he also disagrees with the City Attorney
who 's opinion I. sought on the need to require platting for this . He also
disagrees with the City Building official who says that the situation here
is in violation of building code . As to the possibility of having
1
II
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 60 11.
easements that have the City in the chain of title that encumber property , '
Mr . Rice should be fully aware that that 's fully legal . In fact he was a
party to us doing that in the corridor area that separates this site from
the hotel .
Clayton Johnson: Nobody said it was illegal Paul , it 's just can you do
it?
Krauss: Yes . '
Clayton Johnson: . . .there 's an opportunity to do it . There 's not a I
negative 21 foot setback . When we get all done , the property underlying
the building is going to be one owner and it 's all going to be on the
property . To describe it as a negative 21 foot setback is intentionally
misleading . It 's not the case .
Krauss : I mean we can argue this in front of you . I don 't know what else
I can offer . You know it 's sort of like a Twilight Zone episode here
because our realities are so different and I don 't know what else to offer "
you tonight .
Conrad: Okay . Still a public hearing . Any other comments? '
Clayton Johnson: Well we started on July 2nd and we have to have a format .
I mean I 'm willing to stay here tonight until we get it resolved . I don 't
know what 's going to happen if we table it and go back . We ' ll do whatever
we can do but we can 't do what we can 't do . If we can 't accomplish the
terms and conditions , we simply don't do the project . We just bury the
. pipe . That 's it . But I don 't know what 's going to be gained by postponing
it .
Conrad: Any other comments? Is there a motion to close the public '
hearing?
Emmings moved, Ellson seconded to close the public hearing. All voted in II
favor and the motion carried. The public hearing was closed.
Conrad: It 's 11 : 15 . Joan , we 'll start with you . •
Ahrens: Well I don 't know what we 're going to do on this tonight . I mean
are we going to attempt to vote on this?
Conrad: We sure could. We can send it off . You know we 've got 3 choices "
We can table it and see if they can work it out . Obviously the key issue
is this parking . Reasons for the parking problem goes back in history andll
the applicant has some valid concerns in terms of some historic reasons foil
that and surprising justification for wanting to go ahead right now . On
the other hand, staff has some standards that we apply to everybody .
Ahrens: Is this something that staff can work out with the applicant?
Krauss: No . I think that we 've had a series of meetings over this . What"
we 're basically confronted with is a situation where we say we have an
issue and the answer is , well there 's nothing we can do about that so we
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 61
won 't . What you have before you is the way it sits and I 'm afraid , I would
like to think that there would be some progress but I wouldn 't count on it .
Ahrens: Well , in that event . I guess it 's up to us to go through this and
make a decision .
Conrad: I think so . I don't think the applicant wants it . It doesn 't
' look like there 's something we can send back for more information so that
it can be worked out . I think whether it goes ahead pro or con, we should
get it out of here .
' Ahrens: I think the parking is a problem . I don 't know how it can be
resolved . We 're dealing with a limited land space there and it 's just
going to be a problem . A lot of small downtown areas are problems like
' that . I think that the report that was sent out , I agree with it . I mean
the parking situation isn 't , how it 's attempting to be resolved is not
ideal but it may work . I don 't think that I totally disagree with Clayton
that the parking situation on the west side shopping area is similar to the
retail area in the Frontier Shopping Mall . I think it's completely
different . The types of stores . As I understand it the type of restaurant
that you 're proposing would be very different from the Riveria . It would
' be more of an all day kind of restaurant with breakfast and lunch and that
kind of a situation which would bring a lot more people in . Draw a lot
more people from the community . I think it 's very different . I don 't know
' what to do about the parking problem . I think that we may have to live with
it the way it is temporarily . Get as many stalls as possible from wherever
we can . It is a problem .
' Brad Johnson: Excuse me . I kind of represent the restaurant .
Conrad: Why did 't you speak during the public hearing Brad?
' Brad Johnson: Can I just point out something about parking and why the
restaurant people are not concerned?
Conrad: I 'd really be interested because I think . . .
Ahrens: Which restaurant is it by the way?
Brad Johnson: It 's like an Applebee 's . It 's that food line . There is ,
and this is why I 've never , Fred and I a long time ago we talked about
' parking. If you look over in here . 99% of the time this is pretty near
vacant . There 's certain peak times that this is used. Filly's is active
after 9:00. The bowling alley is going all day long but all day long they
' have a tremendous amount of parking in there and what Fred is saying and
what all of you have said, is somehow we 've got to get people to be able to
enter through here . That will take time because who knows if the bowling
alley 's going to be there forever . That type of thing and who knows if
this is going to be there forever but in our grand plan. we even had a
parking ramp here because we knew someday we might have a problem but
currently in downtown Chanhassen there is no parking problem and that 's
what Fred 's saying . Fred is saying that we can work it out because you 've
got to work it out or these guys will die but today there 's an easement
where we plan on having the entrance of the courtyard that runs from here
I
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 62 1
to here and a new stairway to go over to the hotel coming out this door . '
Clayton Johnson: It would be helpful if you could do that .
Brad Johnson: There 's just a nice stairway that leads to all this parking '
and there 's how many parking spots there? Probably 120 at any one time so
we perceive that anybody knows or lives in Chanhassen is going to go to
that restaurant and knows they can 't park here , other than in January when
nobody goes to the restaurant , you just drive over here . Walk up this nic
little thing to the courtyard and park there and that 's all in . We have
tremendous amount of parking down here and it just turns out , I didn 't knoll
it was going to be there , there 's a nice stairway which also allows the
water to run out of that area , right out the backdoor . There can be , when
that restaurant 's designed , there will be a door. put right here . There
could also be another door put right here so it 's even closer and they can '
just go into here . You 've got parking . There's plenty of parking in that
area to handle it .
Conrad: I think that 's your problem and not ours but I guess I just don 't "
if I were running a restaurant and I worked for several of them , I 'd be
real nervous about . The visibilty is on 78th and that 's where people go .
Brad Johnson: But it 's no different than in Calhoun Square .
Ahrens: Well a little different than Calhoun Square . '
Brad Johnson: The parking ramp that , I 've gone down there and access is
about that far away . People just learn that you go in the back instead of '
the front . You can 't get in off Lake Street .
Ahrens: That 's different .
Conrad: Well Brad , it 's not our business . That 's your business and we 're
not going to tell you how to do it but .
Brad Johnson: I 'm just saying as a temporary solution until somebody
figures this all out , okay? Long term . You've got parking that 's within .
75 feet of the back door of the restaurant .
Ahrens : I think that 's what we talked about and that's what the report
said that we had , the parking was sufficient short term and that 's what we '
agreed in the very beginning.
Conrad: Can I jump in or would you rather for me to be quiet?
Ahrens: Go ahead Don . '
Conrad: Who 's problem is it to figure this out? Who's going to pay to
figure this out is my question .
Krauss: There 's a fundamental issue here though with whether or not cities
have the right to regulate parking standards to keep people so that , make
sure that people park on their own property or whether or not we have the
right to regulate anything quite frankly . I mean I 've heard every issue
1
I , .
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15, 1990 - Page 63
contested tonight . Clearly I mean the ordinance establishes parking
' standards for the well being of the community . Now if we wanted to take a
laise affaire approach , then tell us to change the ordinance and throw out
those standards because right now this proposal is not consistent with what
' the ordinance says . I mean specifically the ordinance says that parking
has to be within 400 feet of a building entrance . Well not we 're talking
about coming through a back door of a hotel , through a corridor . I mean
' Fred did take a look at where parking was available on this property and it
was concluded that there 's a whole lot of stalls inside the ring road . The
problem is they 're not where people are going to readily use them and we 've
always conceeded that . I mean everybody knows they 're there and the issue
' is how do you get them there and I don 't think that 's been answered . The
ordinance also requires that parking that you 're utilizing parking either
be under the same ownership and merge into a single tax parcel as the site
' served under public ownership where the use of parking facilities shall be
protected by a recorded instrument acceptable to the City . You 're being
asked to vary that standard as well .
Clayton Johnson : We wanted to change all the tax parcels Paul but to do
that , you wouldn 't let us without going through the City . I mean we don 't
object to this whole PUD process . We don 't think the world should stop
' while that happens . This parcel will be under one ownership. Everything
that we have considered in our parking lot .
Conrad: So there 's not enough parking long term . Who 's going to solve
that? Is the City going to underwrite solving that problem or is that
Bloomberg Companies ' to solve the long term problem?
' Herb Bloomberg : That 's Bloomberg Companies ' problem . The front is already
done . We 've got all the curbs all poured . There isn 't one inch of that
whole 78th Street that isn 't developed today . We hope it 's blacktopped by
' Friday . Okay . I don 't think we have any problems . I just wish we would
stop grape hanging on this whole subject and if you 'll bear with me for a
minute . Of course I 've only been involved in this for 30-35 years . About
' 20 years ago someone came to the City to apply to build a concrete block
building next to the Hanus building . They were right across in the feed
mill property and here we sat with a rather new theatre and I thought my
goodness , that 's going to be a heck of a thing to look at and so I bought
that piece of property . The feed mill property in self defense . We held
it all these years . Paid taxes . No income on it . We cut the grass . We
tried to put a split rail fence . Even looking half decent and now what
today , we 've got a beautiful development along that whole north side of
78th Street . John Rice and Clayton Johnson have worked on every piece of
that north side of the street . There perhaps isn't a law pertaining to
' property on the books that haven 't been explored in all these different
parcels but believe it . It 's all done . We 've now got a beautiful clinic
across the street . There 's a lot of parking spaces in there but the best
part is , and we certainly agree with what Fred is saying that there 's no
short term problem . The long term problems to me are very optimistic .
We 've got one plat there behind the Frontier Building and I can show you a
300 foot square . 90 ,000 square feet of space and we could use it all for
I parking . At one time here a couple years ago we voted down a civic center .
The civic center was going to take advantage of the passageway and use the
property , double decking maybe and put a parking ramp behind Filly 's on the
• II
Planning Commission Meeting

west side . And so that 's still a possibility. I think legally that could '
be done but mainly , right behind our properties there , see we operated a
lumber company right there , lumber operation for 25 years and it was a
wonderful place because it was shielded from the northwest winds . The wal
out space and you could bring in trucks you could load and you could , this
was very convenient place . Now that 's the back end where the Classic Cars
now comes out but my feeling is that the really , this certainly is going to
come on the south side and it 's been brought up a few comments here , eithe
elevators or escalators in some of this property . I would much rather com
to a restaurant and say I 'm going to park in there behind . In the lot
behind and walk in and take the elevator up and then I 'm on 78th Street .
This is the way , there's just no question that that 's the way that 's going 11
to be developed . But as far as 78th Street today is concerend , it 's done .
It 's completed . It 's finished and I don't think we have any problems
unless we just imagine them but we do have to , we can 't . . . We 're not
building a new town out in the prairie where we can go by all the rules
that Paul likes to speak of and you can have all the ordinances but if
somebody wants to go out here at TH 41 and take 160 acres , you can do all I
the rules . Do exactly according to the book but we 're in a downtown
development . We 're working with the old town and I think we 've done a
beautiful job . We 're the envy of every community in Minnesota with our II HRA performance . Our tax base is beautiful and it 's getting better every
day so we don 't want to pass the word that Chanhassen's hard to do business
with because I don 't think Chanhassen is . I think that we have so many
beautiful places around here that are adding to our tax structure and we 'r
going to do substantially more things here in downtown Chanhassen but we 'r
right on the ragged end right now in that we 'd like to wind this thing up .
And like I 've been saying , we 've got almost a half a mile of frontage from '
the railroad tracks to the end of the shopping center area . We 're now
talking about the development of 95 feet against about 2 ,600 feet and still
we make a big problem out of it . I just hope that somehow we can cut II through the red tape here and simply let's try to do business . I 've been
working here , I haven 't had an argument with a single person in Chanhassen
in living here 32 years and I 'm not going to start now but sometimes your
patience gets kind of worn thin . I appreciate all the problems that you I
people are facing and living with every day and it 's tough. It 's a great
public service that people are willing to sit like you are every night here
without pay and try to do a good civic job but I think that sometimes we
need to count our blessings . We 've had a lot of things to be thankful for
and it 's , I think we have a town we can be proud of and I think it 's
getting better every day . Thanks.
Fred Hoisington: Ladd , I think this staff report puts the burden to solve
that longer term problem on them so I think Herb is exactly right . My
concern is , when I say there's no short term problem , it 's because this
development depends on this parking next door . It does not , it cannot
survive on this parking alone . It has to have this parking to make it work
and so at minimum we 've got to have some assurance that that can use this
area as this can use this area .'
Clayton Johnson: That 's a given . That 's not an issue .
Fred Hoisington: Well is it a given? That I don 't .
I
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 65
' Clayton Johnson: It 's never been an issue but when you try to tell us that
we 've got to go and record cross parking easements with a property owner
next door that 's not us , we can 't do that . That 's not a problem on
Frontier 's side .
' Fred Hoisington: What if that owner isn't you anymore?
' Clayton Johnson: We are the owners of that parcel .
Fred Hoisington: Well I know you are now .
' Clayton Johnson: That 's why we 're willing to give it and we are able to
give it but I can 't give something I don't have .
' Fred Hoisington: You 're saying you can 't give the hotel and you can 't give
the Dinner Theatre?
' Clayton Johnson: No . We already have it with the hotel between this
parcel that we 're talking about and the hotel but to record it in the
fashion that Paul is recommending in the staff report , I can 't deliver
'
that .
Ahrens: Have you asked the Dinner Theatre?
' Clayton Johnson: The Dinner Theatre 's not an issue , it 's the hotel . Why
is a lender in Washington D .C . going to agree to record a new easement?
' Ahrens: I do that kind of stuff everyday . It 's not a problem . Believe
me . Mortagees don 't put up a fight with that . I mean most of the time
people are perfectly willing to give those kinds of easements . It 's not a
big deal for mortagees to grant cross parking .
' Clayton Johnson: I wish you 'd had my experience on the bus depot then .
I 'll never sign another easement as long as I live . I mean we are more
' than happy to try and accomplish those things but to say that we will
accomplish them , we cannot do that .
Ahrens: Well you know , I think as far as the conditions go in the staff
report , the staff recommendation , the face brick , I don't . That 's not an
issue for me . If you think there's a reason why you have to have that in
there , then I 'll go along with that . I don't know why that 's in there but
the parking easements , there is a problem as far as I 'm concerned requiring
them to have that done . You have to have that done . You have to have
consent by the parties to an easement and if they can get it, great .
Krauss: I 'll just throw in my 2 cents .
' Ellson: You 're saying you just want the attempt .
Ahrens: Either that or we have to require them up front . We can't require
somebody else to give them an easement but are we requiring them to go
through the process to?

Krauss: On the one hand Clayton is saying that he has rights to utilize
spaces . On the other hand he 's saying he can 't insure that he does have
the right to utilize those spaces . I can show you a supermarket , a former
Red Owl supermarket on the corner of Hopkins Crossroad and Excelsior Blvd . "
The supermarket building was owned by Red Owl . The fellow who owned the
Red Owl . The Red Owl chain bought some additional parking for this guy
when he expanded the building . They were in two separate ownerships . Whall
you had was when Red Owl went out of business , or shut down their stores ,
the party that owned the parking sold the parking lot off to a McDonald's .
They were then left with a building that had no parking . I think if you g
past there today there 's a sporting goods store and you 'll see that that 's
kind of left with one little strip of parking on the side of the building
and there 's a McDonald 's sitting next door . That 's the situation that the
ordinance is designed to avoid . '
Ahrens: I think we realize what can happen when parking isn 't , when there
isn 't an easement . I mean anything . They can change ownership and all of '
a sudden you 're stuck with somebody that 's saying you can 't park in our
lot . I mean that 's what can happen . I think an easement is a smart thing
to do . I think it 's important . I think that those negotiations should
start with the theatre . '
Clayton Johnson: We have the easements . It 's just that we cannot assure
you that they will be in the chain of title . We can 't assure you that the ,
City will be in the chain of title because they are currently not in that
form .
Ahrens: Well , I think your lawyer can work on that . The next , let me see '
here . Again , the no new food establishments . I don't know how you 're
going to do that . How are you going to tell them . I mean they have no
control again over businesses that they don 't own . How can you tell them? '
Krauss: Well again as property owners I think they could be held subject
to a condition that 's applied to them relative to . '
Ahrens: But you 're telling them that the Theatre can't open a restaurant .
Krauss: Well , at that point we have some , there's probably some difficult"
with that . I should tell you too that the Theatre 's talked to us about
expanding their restaurant .
Ahrens: Well , there is a condition in here that says that no new food '
establishment shall be considered over and above the current restaurant
anywhere in the Frontier Center complex . Maybe you want to reword that
somehow because they don't have control over the entire Frontier Center
complex correct?
Krauss: Well actually , the Frontier Center in capitals , I believe they doll
The other , the hotel and Dinner Theatre they don 't .
Ahrens: Okay , so do we just want to eliminate the hotel and Dinner
Theatre?
Krauss: Sure . ,

' Clayton Johnson: Okay make sure , we already have a restaurant in there you
know . Millie 's Deli .
Krauss: No, acknowledging . This is just saying anything over and above .
' Ahrens: It says no additional . The driveway , do you want to leave that in
here? Is that the City 's responsibility to fix that?
Krauss: I told Clayton this morning , I don't care who builds it . If he
can convince Don that the City 's liable to build it , that 's fine . It just
' has to be built .
Ahrens: Should that be left in as a condition?
Krauss: I believe so .
Ahrens: I have no other comments .
Conrad: Okay . Jim?
Wildermuth: I guess my feeling is that the issue should be tabled and I
think a number of these differences should be worked out . Based on what
we 're looking at here tonight and the disagreement that is clearly evident
tonight , I think we 're just too far apart to be able to make , the applicant
' and city staff are too far apart for the commission to make an intelligent
recommendation .
' Conrad: Anything else? Annette?
Elison : I tend to go against tabling it or whatever . I think you do get
to a point sometimes where you 've got to be honest and say that they 're not
going to solve them . That 's what' we 're here for is to break the tie , if
there is such a thing , and there 's also City Council beyond us that 's going
to be overseeing it as well . So I agree that I 'd like them to at least
make attempts to get it into the chain of title . The cross easements . If
they 've already got it , whether it 's verbal or whatever now , then all we 're
asking is to be all the more official and maybe they 're already ready to do
something like that since they already seem to have some sort of easements
right now .
John Rice: Excuse me , could I speak and put that issue to rest? I know
the public hearing's closed .
Conrad: Yeah , the hearing 's closed . I don 't know that we 're going to come
' a conclusion on that cross easement deal . Let us continue to go through
here . Go ahead Annette .
Ellson: . . .remain the same . I agree with the rental equipment thing . I
don 't think we 're putting them out of business . We 're just trying to get
back the parking stalls and stuff like that . It was an interesting point
about parking in the back . Is there going to be any signage that will tell
somebody from the back how you can get to the restaurant from the rear?
I

Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 68
Krauss: Well I don 't know . In fact I thought that that was a door that
was going to be locked and just be an emergency entrance or the key to the
hotel .
Brad Johnson: It 's a full open sidewalk . There is no door . It 's just a
corridor . It was always planned to be there .
Ellson: If you 're parking in the back is it going to say , "To the '
Restaurant"?
Brad Johnson: It 's no different than if that was a public parking lot and ll
you just walk up the stairs and you go up into the restaurant . You don 't
go into the hotel .
Krauss: On the plans for the hotel , that was shown as , it wasn 't shown as'
a sidewalk . It was shown as an emergency exit .
Brad Johnson: For the hotel . '
Krauss: If it 's going to function as something else too , we can take a
look at it but that was not the original intent or if it was , it wasn 't
clear .
Clayton Johnson: I think we 'd better take a walk .
Conrad: I don 't think I 'd go Paul .
Krauss: Not on a dark night . ,
Ellson: No , I think we should go ahead with it as is with the
recommendations and move it along . Go ahead Tim . Take it away . '
Erhart: Well it 's obvious that the two parties are not working together on
this thing . I don 't know how you resolve it . It 's not here . I think we I
can , I 'd be happy to maybe make some comments on some of these things .
Somehow you guys have worked yourself into corners and either through
additional parties or more time , all these things are , on the face of
everything , there 's logical solutions to every item on here . They
certainly aren 't being discussed in a format . If I had this meeting going
on at my company , I 'd stop the meeting right there and come back another
day because it's obvious a lot of emotion in it . I think also a lot of
insensitivity to the point where I think some of the behavior is I think all
little unprofessional . Oespite frustration , I don't think it 's necessary
to say the kinds of things that give the kind of expressions that I think
I 've seen here tonight . I think you 've got to go back and work on it . If 11
it 's gotten emotional , bring some other people into it on both sides who
can look at it with a little fresher point of view and you know it 's
something we 're going to do . This project we 're going to do and it 's goin
to be approved . It 's got to be done and we 've just got to bring reason to
this thing and get rid of the emotions of it . Comments on some of the
items are , I 'll just say again on the architectural . I don 't know how muc
we 've been involved historically in the architectural review of the whole
thing . If it 's something we haven't done much in , this is probably a
little bit late to get into at this time , although one of the things that
I .
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 69
bothered me about the whole thing is that the whole hotel came in with what
' we saw was a cedar shake roof and all of a sudden we 're not getting a cedar
shake roof . I thought that was a pretty important part of that project
when I looked at it . Well now they 're talking about a cedar shake roof and
I 'll tell you what I believe , we 're not going to see a cedar shake roof on
this building . I 'm not looking for an answer but it seems like they 're
again a lot of , you wonder a lot . Cross easements , I can 't make a judgment
on that . You know you 've got to look at what's reality . You 've got to get
Roger involved in it and go for it . It 's certainly nice . There 's a great-
concern about parking but we 've got to live with the existing situation . It
may not be possible to get those easements . It may not ever be possible to
' assure 100% that we 're not going to end up with a parking problem . I think
most , I think this is a project that 's got to be done . 40 automobiles for
parking in the rear for employees . Are you going to have employees that
are going to want to park in the rear who leave work at night or come into
work at night? I don 't know about that one . If there 's an access out
through the side through those doors , maybe that will work with adequate
lighting . Maybe a security camera or something and make employees use the
bowling alley lot and mount a camera and monitored by somebody in the hotel
or something . There 's a security issue involved . The food establishment ,
I guess everyone 's agreeing to that one . Again , the rental equipment , I
' really don 't know what to say on that one . I don 't know if you can go over
and , as much as I agree entirely with Paul 's intent there , I think we ought
to forget those parking spots . I 'm not sure that we can really draw the
' line there and say we 're going to do that . I don 't know if you want to say
that okay you can 't do this building or this project because you can 't do
that . It 's a very , very hard line that you 're trying to draw and again I
' think we 've got to get this hotel and Dinner Theatre out of the one
provision where it says no food establishment shall be considered . The
driveway I think we 've got to find , we should find out what is the deal
with the driveway . Is it the City 's responsibility and if we 're going to
' make an emotional issue out of it , let's get the facts before we draw the
lines . That 's my comments . I think it 's , I don 't think this is the place
to resolve these , what has become emotional issues .
' Conrad: What do you want to do?
Erhart: I think we ought to table it . There 's a number of issues that
we 're not qualified to . We don't have the data and we 're not qualified to
make a recommendation.
Fred Hoisington: I guess my feeling is that it 's urgent to keep this thing
moving along . I would be a little concerned about tabling it. I guess
what you might want to do is approve it with conditions with a couple
' exceptions . One , just leave a question mark as far as the chain of title
question . I don't know if any of us can answer that . Paul and John
obviously have different opinions . . . But let those things be worked out
between now and Council by staff and the proponents and see if they can 't
' come back with . . .something that will be workable . I 'm afraid if we delay
it for 2 more weeks we may , I won 't say we 'll lose the project but we 're
really pushing up against bad weather conditions to get it done .
• II
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 70
Conrad: Okay . Well , I like this project . All we 've said is negative I
stuff but I like it . There are some problems obviously and I 'm not sure
that I agree with you Clayton on everything you 've said. In fact 50-50 .
Disagree with half of what you said but I like the project . I think it 's ,
neat . I think it 's neat to see West 78th almost complete and as you went
through the list Clayton , I didn't find , you know I think you said in most
cases you didn 't have disagreement . I think parking is the issue and
I don 't have a clue on some of these and typically when I don't have a clue"
I have to go with staff report . Yet in some of these cases , I guess I 've
got to question some things . On the cross easements, I don 't know and to
be honest , when you don 't know on a technical issue , you almost have to go I
along with staff but I 'm not comfortable yet on the cross easement issue .
The only thing I want to do is assure that we have parking in the front for
the restaurant that 's connected with the Frontier Center . That 's what I
want . I think that 's easy . Paul wants some more things and those are the I
things that I don 't understand so I think what Clayton 's saying is , for
sure there 's the cross easement with the Frontier Center . That 's a piece
of cake . Can 't guarantee some other things but those are the things that II
if we felt it was important to guarantee , they 've got to do it . Otherwise
the project doesn 't fly and I guess on one hand Clayton's saying maybe they
may not be able to get those guarantees or those cross easements from the
other owners . I don 't know . The parking in the rear for 40 automobiles ,
that one doesn 't bother me . That 's one that I guess , Paul is that an
important one? That one doesn 't make much sense to me in terms of being
critical at this juncture .
Krauss: Is it as critical as the others? No , it probably isn 't and the
information tonight on that corridor in front of Filly 's may resolve some II
of that . We 'll look into that further . That 's probably something .
Conrad: Yeah , I had a feeling that that was probably the case . I think
that that requirement sure is debateable based on where Brad said people , II
his restaurant wants to park people . I think the others , going down the
row . Clayton has said they 're okay . I guess staff has a comment in here
that 's saying hey , we want to see where this whole complex is going and you
know , I guess I would leave that in here simply because we don't want this
to happen again where we come up and butt heads and I think that that
section should stay . In terms of the responsibility on reparing the
driveway , if it 's the City job then it should be the City 's . That 's
another one that again we need some review on so again, I guess I don 't
want to see us sit here . I 'd like to move it on . I think it 's a neat ,
I like it in general . There are 3 or 4 areas , and as long as, and I 'm
convinced that it 's not the City's problem to solve the parking . That is
Bloomberg Companies ' to solve the parking long term and as long as the City
doesn 't have any financial liability and as long as they don't affect how II
the City operates , I 'm comfortable sending this , when I say the City
operates . As long as there 's not a spill over to West 78th Street or
across the street or whatever , then boy I tell you , that 's their job to
figure that out . Brad 's job to figure out how restaurant patrons are going,
to park x number of feet away from the front door of the restaurant .
That 's not our job but I 'd like to see this go through with maybe a bulk of
it , the way the staff talked about but in my mind I 'd like to see some
added review of , I wish they were numbered . The easement issue . The
parking for the 40 automobiles and the driveway between the north and south
I
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 71
' parking lots . Those issues seem to be debateable in terms of the staff
report . Whether we send them through as needing more review , I guess
whoever makes the motion has to clarify what you want done but I think we
should get this out of here . I think staff can do some additional work
with Clayton in the next couple of weeks . Maybe not come to resolution but
they can get to City Council and they can deal with some of these . I don 't
know that some of these are resolvable . I think it 's going to be , it 's not
' whether they 're going to come back in agreement . I really don 't believe
that that 's the case here . It 's a case where do you want a project or do
you want to table or kill it and we 've been told by our consultants that
' short term , we 're probably not going to have a problem . The biggest
problem that we see is parking . We 're not going to have a problem short
term . So whoever makes the motion can consider my comments and make the
motion before 12:00 because I 'm not sticking around past then .
Ahrens: We 've got a whole lot left on the agenda .
' Conrad : Clayton?
Clayton Johnson: Would it be proper for me to just run through all the . . .
and clarify some of the things . I mean I think we 're in agreement on 90%
although there are some very key items that I would like to make sure get
in the motion otherwise there 's no point in moving along tonight . Can I
just go through them real quick?
' Conrad: Okay . I ' ll stop you if I , yeah . Go ahead . I 'm not sure what
you 're going to tell us that we don't already know .
Clayton Johnson: Well for instance on the no new food establishments .
That 's not an issue if you confine it to Frontier Center .
Ellson: Right . Take out hotel and Dinner Theatre . We 've got that .
Wildermuth: Can you start with number 1 and just go down the whole list .
' Clayton Johnson: Number 1 is the brick issue . We don 't like it . I guess
if you 're going to start redesigning our building , that 's not the end of
the world but I don't like it . The cross easements , we will give you cross
easements on the Bloomberg parcel and we already have cross parking
easements existing on the hotel but I cannot guarantee you that they 're
going to be in the chain of title as Paul has laid out here . You will get
everything we 've got and everything we can give . The 40 automobiles ,
because we 've already got it in another 300 spots back there , I don't know
why we should build 40 more and we think it's in conflict with our lease
' with Hooked on Classics . The food establishments we talked about . As
long as you confine it to Frontier Center , that's okay . The occupancy on
West 78th Street . On the rental equipment , I have a hard time with that . I
' mean I am going to have a very difficult time going over and telling Kent
that he can 't use that property the way he 's used it and I don 't know ,
you 're kind of reaching . You 're going over and you 're dealing with this
issue but I don 't know . I mean if you want to say that , you 've taken the
' burden off of me . No snow is no problem . The additions or modifications .
I mean there again it 'd be nice if we knew what we were talking about . I
don 't think we can infringe on the rights of other property owners like the
II
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 72
hotel and the Dinner Theatre . I think you 'd have to confine that to the
Bloomberg parcel . Truck parking 's not a problem . The driveway is going t
be resolved . It 's going to either be , I mean we had it all paved before
and it got tore up . Either us or them do it . Adequate turn radii , I
would like to see that . Is that a condition Paul?
Krauss: Yes .
Clayton Johnson: Well , you guys just engineered and built the parking lot .
Don 't make me go in and tear it up . Do you really mean that?
Krauss: That was a concern raised by the Fire Marshall .
Conrad: Where 's that?
Ellson: Number 3 .
Clayton Johnson: Number 3 . They 're just pouring the curbs now on it . ,
Herb Bloomberg: They 're done .
Clayton Johnson: They 're done and I mean I don 't like to think that we 're '
going to have to go back and tear them out . If they didn 't look at them
before , I don 't know . 4 is done . 5 is done . 6 , I told in our submission
Paul in his report speaks . . .in our submission on the signage , we just plan '
on moving the pylon to the middle and put two entrance signs . If you want
more detail , that 's something we may have to come back with .
Ellson: For the Council 's approval?
Krauss: Yeah , I would prefer that . Otherwise the sign plan 's not going 11
come back to you .
Clayton Johnson: We 'll come back with signing on the whole Frontier 11 Center .
Krauss: Sharmin has indicated that monument signs are not permitted in th
CBD district .
Clayton Johnson: They 're already there . We already have them . We 're just
talking about moving them .
'
Krauss: No, monument signs Clayton . Not the pylon .
Clayton Johnson: The pylon we have . '
Krauss: Right . I acknowledge that but new monument signs. Monument signs
are not permitted . '
Clayton Johnson: Entrance , monuments? We 've got that right now.
Ellson: Okay , can we move on?
Conrad: Yeah.

' Wildermuth: What about number 8?
Clayton Johnson: Well we think that that 's something that Rice and Knutson
can work out . We don 't like to go through the platting process . We think
it 's unnecessary . We think we will have a piece of property under one
ownership . The building will be totally on that piece of property . It
won 't have a negative setback . We just don 't think it 's necessary to go
' through the whole platting process .
Erhart: A lot of people think that but everybody does it . You 're talking
' about a variance otherwise .
Krauss: Unless this is something that can be brought under a metes and
bounds division . And again frankly , I don 't care how we move the lot lines
' as long as it 's done in a legitimate way . We do have authority to review
metes and bounds at the City Council . It's a simplier procedure . If the
City Attorney 's comfortable with it , that would satisfy that .
Clayton Johnson: It 's just a matter of time and expense , that 's all . I
don 't think the platting will accomplish it . That 's it .
' Conrad: Yeah , I wish we recorded what you said Clayton because I don 't
disagree with all the things you said . In fact , that 's a negative way of
saying that . I agree with a lot of what you just said . We could make a
motion and I don 't know if anybody 's getting prepared to make a motion
here . It 's almost to the point where I 'd like to reword almost every one
of the conditions .
Ellson: Or you could say review and clarify before you get there or
something .
' Conrad: So somebody could make the motion that , do you know?
Erhart: I ' ll give it a try .
Conrad: Let me give you an alternative that might help . We could make a
motion to basically accept the staff report as drafted but to have the
staff review these points because the Planning Commission doesn 't agree in
it 's entirety with the staff report .
Erhart: I 'm pretty much doing that .
Ellson: Rather than reword them all .
Conrad: Well yeah . I think rewording this , we can 't do and I 'm looking
for an easy way of getting us out of here .
Erhart: Let me summarize what I 'm going to do and unless somebody objects ,
I 'll make the motion . What I was going to do was to essentially do that
for everything except for the items relating to the 40 automobiles for
employees . The one on the equipment rental area , I was just going to leave
' out with the parking area for employees . The 40 parking spots for
employees . The one on the rental agreement . To eliminate the rental
equipment thing .
• i

Conrad: So you don 't mind it being out there?
Erhart: I just don 't think that should be in here . I think it 's something
we ought to work with as a City with the rental company . '
Clayton Johnson: I think you 've already got ordinances .
Conrad: See there 's an outside display ordinance and see I don 't know howl
they can do what they 're doing right now and I think as long as we 're a
nice little community , we can let that happen but I don 't believe it 's
legal and I haven 't wanted to say anything but I don 't know that we need ill
in here because I think it's under our control already and as long as no
harm and nobody complaining , I 'm comfortable but it 's real tacky .
Ahrens: I like it . '
Conrad: Do you? But that 's not , boy if that 's how they want to do it ,
that 's okay . 1
Erhart : The other one I was going to leave out here was the new additions
or modifications to buildings . Leave out the new additions or
modifications of building or uses because , if they want to do that , they
have to come in for a permit anyway don't they?
Krauss: Yes they do except that this thing keeps coming in incrementally
and there 's never a line drawn that says okay , figure out how it all works
together and I guess that 's what that was trying to get at .
Conrad: It 's whether Tim you want , basically they can come back with
another problem just like this and they won 't but they potentially could
and what Paul is saying is hey , I don 't want , at least under their control '
right now , Paul doesn 't want to , Paul would like to have a bigger plan
drawn up so he has an easier job which makes sense . But that 's up to you .
You 're making the motion .
Erhart: I can change it to what he 's saying , involve Bloomberg properties .
Clayton Johnson: Right . '
John Rice: . . .The use is going to change because the Hardware store 's
going to move out so what are we supposed to do?
Erhart: Well we're going to change it to Bloomberg properties .
John Rice: That is Bloomberg's property . '
Herb Bloomberg: It 's still retail .
Clayton Johnson: It 's still retail though . As long as we come back with I
new retail , the only time we have a problem is if we come back with a
restaurant .
Erhart: What you 're looking for is a motion to go to Council . That 's wha
I 'm trying to get to so the Council can go back and add it back in or
I .
Planning Commission Meeting
August 15 , 1990 - Page 75
' change it but with that , I 'm going to leave pretty much everything else the
same except for 8 . I 'll add in the contingency that if they can discover a
metes and bounds method for approving . Otherwise I 'm going to leave in the
title of chain . Again , we aren 't making a decision here . This is a
' recommendation.
Ellson: Or just something that we want to have reviewed .
' Erhart: . . .if the City Council says no, then you 've got it .
Krauss: We would sit down and ask Mr . Rice to give copies of the easements
to our City Attorney and see what he feels .
Conrad: So have you done it? Have you made a motion?
' Erhart : I 'm going to make a motion .
Conrad: You 're going to do it right now? Okay .
Erhart : Is there anything else Ladd? You wanted to get out of here by
midnight .
Conrad: We don 't have much time .
Erhart : Unless somebody else wants to .
Conrad: No , no . Go ahead. Please go ahead.
Erhart : Okay , I move that the Planning Commission recommend to Council
approval of Site Plan Review #90-7 and Preliminary Plat #90-14 subject to
the following conditions . Before I got this far I was going to ask one
more question . What was the argument for this architectural control?
Krauss: Oh well , is it imperative? Well , your ordinances give you the
right to review building architecture and you 've done it in the past .
You 've been doing it more and more as time goes on . The idea is not to be
manipulative or to require changes . On the plan I noticed that there was .a
' line of brick underneath the windows that ended at one of the doors and
it 's just like that 's part of the building and it just didn't finish it and
aesthetically it didn 't seem appropriate to me and that 's where that , it 's
subjective .
' Erhart: Okay , continuing with the motion. Leave item 1 as is . Item 2 as
• is with the following changes . The first paragraph as is . The second
paragraph beginning with the parking area with room for 40, delete that
paragraph . Next paragraph starting with no new food establishments , delete
in the first sentence the words , the hotel and Dinner Theatre. The
following paragraph beginning at the time the new addition , delete that
paragraph . The following paragraph beginning with the owner will , leave as
is . The paragraph starting with no new additions or modifications should
include the word Bloomberg after the word involved . The following
II paragraph no change . The last paragraph , change that something to the
effect that staff will review that one and determine who's responsibility
it is to do that . Item number 3 . Leave as is . 4 , 5 , 6 and 7 as is . 8 as
II

is with the additional , if an acceptable means for approving this ,
approving the objectives stated here can be done with the metes and bounds
method , that that would be acceptable to the Planning Commission.
Conrad: Good job .
Krauss: Clarify one point on the sign plan . There was some desire to seeil
do you want that to be resolved at the City Council or do you want that to
come back here? Because the way that 's worded right now , it will come back
to you .
Wildermuth: All they 're going to do is move the sign . What I was going o
propose there was provide a revised sign plan for staff approval just like
item 7 . '
Conrad: Yeah . I see no reason that they have to come back here unless
they 're asking for variances . They wouldn't come on a variance . 1
Krauss: Except that this gets into an area where the ordinance says that
multiple tenant buildings should have a sign plan and it 's not terribly
explicit . '
Ellson: Fine . We don 't have a problem bringing it back to us , so let 's
bring it back to us . '
Ahrens: Yeah .
Krauss: You might want to exercise some judgment on this one . '
Conrad: Okay .
Ahrens: I 'll second it .
Conrad: Any discussion?
Erhart moved, Ahrens seconded that the Planning Commission recommend
approval of Site Plan Review #90-7 and Preliminary Plat #90-14 subject to 1
the following conditions:
1 . Revise architectural plans to carry face brick below the window line to
the west end of the building . Demonstrate to staff that adequate trash
storage facilities are being provided in an acceptable location.
Exterior trash storage facilities shall be screened by a masonry wall
designed to be compatible with the new construction. ,
2 . Parking requirements:
a . Permanent cross access and parking easements shall be filed over II
all properties that comprise of the Frontier Center/Bloomberg/
Dinner Theatre/Hotel complex . The easement shall involve the City
in the chain of title so that rights cannot be unilaterally
eliminated by property owners in the future .
b. Deleted .

' Retail Development
We have submitted plans for a 12, 000 square foot retail
building. This building is to be constructed next to the
hotel and connected to the current "Animal Fair" structure.
This building will house a restaurant of approximately
5, 000 square foot to serve the general public and hotel guests.
This building replaces a 16, 000 square foot structure that
we demolished to improve access to our site and the hotel site
and to accommodate the overall parking plan for the south side
of West 78th Street.
this building will be owned by the Bloomberg Companies and
will be operated as Frontier Center. Frontier Center will
include the following retail structures:
New Building 11, 628 sq. ft.
' Existing Animal Fair
Retail 3, 000
Frontier Building
Current Hardware Store 4, 800
Current Deli 1, 000
Current Office 5, 000
1 Current Drug Store
And Hair Salon 3, 600
29, 028
'
•
RECAP: Restaurant 5, 000
Retail 18, 028
Office 5, 000
This center will serve to connect the properties at either
end the Dinner Theatre to the east and the Hotel to the west.
It is very similar in size and use to the North side of 78th St.
jwhich currently includes Retail West and the Riveria.
These properties also connect to properties facing south and
11 this portion we would expect to be a part of future development.
This future development would connect the existing FMG warehouse
and Hooked on Classics Frontier building to retail uses that
would be consistent with a plan for that area.

From: Fred Hoisington, Planning Consultant
Subject: Parking Supply and Demand Analysis -
South Side West 78th Street
I
Date.: 8-6-90

pROPOSAI.
The proposal by Bloomberg Company Inc. is to construct a retail I
development between the new Country Suites Hotel and the existing
Animal Fair structure on the south side of West 78th Street. The size of
I
the Animal Fair/Frontier Center complex is proposed to be 16,116 gross
square feet, with 11,822 square feet of new construction and 4,294 square
feet already existing. The Frontier Center is proposed to have a
I
restaurant/lounge comprising approximately 5,000 square feet. The
Center is designed to focus on an internal pedestrian corridor. i
EXISTING CONDITIONS/PARKING SUPPLY
According rdin to the Frontier Center plan plus spot checks in the field, there
are at least 957 parking _spaces existing in the Study Area lying east of
Market Boulevard, south of West 78th Street, west of Great Plains
Boulevard and north of the Soo Line Railroad tracks. The following is a
summary of available parking. I

•
I
ASSUMPTIONS
The calculation of P arking demand is based on, among other things, the
111 following:
1 . The warehouse adjacent to Chanhassen Bowl is fully occupied as a
warehouse.
2. Because of the nature of Hooked On Classics and a very low retail
I patron generation rate, it is also categorized as warehouse space for
purposes of calculating parking.
1 3. The Hogarth Lounge located in the dinner theater complex functions as
a restaurant during the lunch hour when parking demands are not
critical. It functions only as a lounge during theater operations.
4. While considerable unsurfaced parking is available in the dinner
theater's lower parking lot, only about 40 spaces are utilized for
theater operations and those are used by employees.
' 5. For purposes of establishing parking demand, the restaurant and
lounge element of the proposed Frontier Center is treated as if it were
an integral part of the hotel complex.
6. While most of the old Frontier building retail establishments currently
close at 6:00 p.m. on weekdays (two remain open until 7:30), this may
not always be the case. An increase in the mass of retail will create
synergy and may cause retailers to extend their hours of operation.
PARKING SURVEY
1 On Friday, August 3, 1990, a count was made of vehicles parked in the
Dinner Theater and old Frontier building parking lots between 7:00 and
8:30 p.m. At 8:30 p.m., parking accumulation in the upper lots reached
196 cars. A total of 18 presumed employee cars were parked behind the
Dinner Theater in the lower lot.
Accord in g to Dinner Theater Management, 501 guests were present at the
I three performances during the survey period. There were no groups
present who would have accessed the theater by bus. This translates to a
parking demand of one auto for each 2.34 patrons. Based on an assumed
20% group attendance during peak patronage periods, it is reasonable to
ti assume a parking requirement of one space for each 2.9 seats.
•
1
It is important to note that only three theaters, having a total of 900 seats,
are operating during most of the year. Use of the fourth theater during ,
November and December is possible though not certain. When all four are
operating, capacity is 1,148. At full occupancy, then, the Dinner Theater
would require 396 parking spaces. It currently provides 328 spaces.
CONCLUSIONS/PARKING DEMAND, 111
1 . The Study Area as a whole will provide sufficient parking to
accommodate the existing development plus the Country Suites Hotel
and the proposed Frontier Center. At least 957 spaces will be
available and a total of approximately 945 spaces will be required
upon completion of the Hotel/Frontier Center development. 1
2. The peak parking demand period will occur between 6:00 and 9:00
p.m. on a Friday evening. Distribution problems aside, during the peak
demand period, parking will only occasionally exceed the available
supply of parking spaces for the Study Area as a whole. I
3. The proposed Frontier Center will also peak during the 6:00 to 9:00
p.m. period at approximately 78 spaces. Only 43 parking spaces are
proposed to be constructed.
4. Parking demands for the old Frontier development (extending from '
the Furniture Store to the Rental Center/Hardware) plus the new
Frontier Center will actually peak during the noon hour and the 4:00
to 6:00 p.m. periods when approximately 150 parking spaces will be
required with 143 available. The Dinner Theater will not compete
significantly for parking during these periods.• '
5. The critical period is from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. when the Dinner Theater
does compete for parking with retail uses. In the short-term, there
will be no problem with parking if the old Frontier complex retailers
maintain their present operating hours. If that should change,
however, a future parking problem will arise. Attributable in large
part to distribution problems, there will not be adequate parking for
all users when all stores remain open during the 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
period and the Dinner Theater is nearing its seating capacity.

Parking
Memo Page 3 I

6. When future capacity is reached, the hotel parking lot will not be
' useable by non-hotel patrons whose destination is the restaurant and
retail center because most hotel parking is w distant.
11 very That
likely be
' closest to the proposed new Frontier
protected by the hotel for short-term parkers. Cross easements are
not proposed as part of the Frontier Center plan.
' BECOMMENDATIONS
The use that is proposed is very c retail shops and with the downtown restaurants to be
' redevelopment concept which calls for eta
part of the hotel/dinner theater complex. Furthermore, a restaurant will
be a very important part of the hotel complex but the parameters within
' which the retail project must occur are unbending.
It is our opinion that a parking problem will exist if and when the existing
retail development (Hardware/Rental Center, etc.) is upgraded
hours are extended and the Dinner Theater is competing for the same
parking spaces during the 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. period. Until that occurs,
parking demand will exceed supply only very infrequently and perhaps
not at all.
While the situation is not ideal and a problem will evolve over time, there
is time to develop a solution without holding e following current conditions:proposal. We
' recommend approval of the plan subject to t $
1 . That cross easements be provided to assure the sharing of parking.
2. That an overall plan be prepared for the Study Area before any future
approval is granted by the City for ow total additional development/
redevelopment. This plan should illustrate h parking
can and will be satisfied.
3. PIans should be prepared before any further land sales are transacted
' and further platting is requested of the City.

DATE: July 24 , 1990
' SUBJ: Site Plan Review for a Retail Mall Building on
Lot 2 , Block 1 , Bloomberg Addition - Frontier Center
File No. 90-19 Land Use Review
The site plan proposes an 11 ,822 square foot retail mall building
' on property zoned CBD and located on Lot 2, Block 1, Bloomberg
Addition Frontier Center.
' A search of previous history of the property reveals that is was
until recently the site of a larger building. This previous
building was removed in conjunction with the construction of the
' Country Hospitality Suites improvement project.
The parking lot facility to serve this building has been
previously approved and is being constructed under the Country
' Hospitality Suites public improvement contract. The majority of
the site has been and will continue to be impervious surface.
The roof drainage system is proposed to tie directly into a storm
' sewer system (to be constructed under the Country Hospitality
Suites contract) .
An existing sanitary sewer line is available for service in the
northeast corner of the site. A multiple connection water
service is also available from the existing building to the east.
However, an individual water service should be acquired from the
existing 8-inch watermain under the proposed parking lot (Country
Hospitality Suites project) .
' Due to the timing of the parking lot construction under the
Country Hospitality Suites contract, it is recommended that these
utility improvements be installed as soon as possible to avoid
disturbance of the new parking lot.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1 . A separately metered, privately owned and maintained water '
service shall be installed and connected to the existing
8-inch watermain under the proposed parking lot (see
attachment) .
2 . The proposed building facility' shall disconnect and remain
permanently disconnected from the existing water service
extending from the building to the east.
3 . In the interest of time, if the new water service is
constructed by the City to protect the integrity of the new
parking lot pavement, the owner agrees to reimburse the City
for the cost of said work.
