Powers Boulevard Office Building May-+, 28, 2002 Page 2 BACKGROUND On April 5, 1981, the City Council approved the final plat to Park Two. PROPOSALfflUMMARY The applicant is requesting site plan approval for the construction of a 28,980 square foot office building to be constructed in two phases. Phase I, which is a one story building, is proposed to have an area of 20,525 square feet. Phase IT is proposed to be constructed as a second story and will have an area of 8,455 square feet. The site is zoned lOP, Industrial Office Park and bordered by Highway 5 to the north, Powers Boulevard to the west, and industrial sites to the east and west. The lot area is 2.8 acres. The Hwy. 5 Overlay District applies to the site. The site is visible directly from Highway 5. It has full access from a private street to the south off of Powers Boulevard. The site plan is for an office building situated on the northwest comer of the site. The exterior materials are comprised of face brick and stucco, E.F.LS., precast stone, and prefinished metal. A stucco canopy supported by two columns adorns the main entrance into the building. The roofline is staggered providing architectural relief to the building. Windows are proposed on all four elevations. The building height (for Phase 1) is 22 feet to the top of the parapet on the east and south elevations and 19 feet on the west and north elevations. Phase IT will bring up the total height of the building to 32.4 feet. One issue raised at the Planning Conunission meeting dealt with the Phase II elevator shaft. The walls lack detail and articulation. The applicant proposed scoring the wall, which will provide a grid pattern. Parking for vehicles is located south and west of the building. The building hides the majority of the parking lot and the portion that abuts Highway 5 is screened by a combination of elevation changes and landscaping. The elevation of Highway 5 is approximately 10 feet higher than the proposed parking lot. The difference in elevation, combined with landscaping will provide adequate screening and will meet the Highway 5 overlay district screening requirements. The plans reflect future parking, which is proposed to be constructed with phase two. The expanded parking lot is located along the southwest comer of the site. '4' The proposed development will have a total impervious area of 57.6% for Phase I and 67% coverage when Phase IT is completed. The maximum impervious area permitted by ordinance is 70%. ~: , ".".' ;" An existing stormwater pond is located in the southern portion of the site on the one low area. The applicant has proposed to relocate this pond to the south, on the Lake Susan Park Site. Staff regards the project as a reasonable use of the land. Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending approval of the site plan, with conditions outlined in the staff report. .~ ~ ~~ Powers Boulevard Office Building May-+, 28, 2002 Page 3 GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The proposed office building, with an area of 28,980 square feet, will be situated on the northwest comer of the property. The site is bordered by Highway 5 to the north, and Powers Boulevard to the west. Instant Web occupies the property to the east, and Teleplan is located to the west across Powers Boulevard. Both are industrial users. Access to the building is proposed from a private street south of the site. The Private Street is shared with Instant Web and leads to Powers Boulevard. Parking will be located along the east and south portion of the building. The building is located 30 feet from the north, 117 feet from the east, 265 feet from the south, and 30 feet from the west property line. The proposed Phase I building will utilize a combination of face brick and stucco as the main materials. Accents are introduced through the use of EF.LS. columns projecting out I inch accompanied by a soldier course base. Each column contains a medallion and recessed brick treatments in the center. A combination of EF.LS. and prefinished metal canopies with a staggered roof line provide architectural relief to the building. Windows are proposed on all four elevations. The entrance to the building utilizes a projecting canopy supported by two columns. The comer facing the intersection of Hwy. 5 and Powers Boulevard has three sets of double row windows. Phase II will utilize identical materials as Phase I, continue the architectural design of staggered roofline, windows, etc. The applicant has provided relief of the continuous walls through the use of different colors and material (samples will be provided at the meeting). This development falls within the Highway Corridor Overlay and must comply with the district's design standards in addition to the Industrial Office Park Standards and the city's new design standards. The purpose of the overlay district is to promote high-quality architectural and site design through improved development standards with the corridor. The design standards should create a unified, harmonious and high quality visual environment. The building meets all the requirements of the design standards, which include: 1. A defined entrance accentuated by a projecting canopy. 2. The building provides articulation through the use of staggered parapets on the roof, different materials, landscaping, windows, and columns. 3. All materials used on the building are durable and permitted. 4. E.LF.S is used as an accent and occupies a range of 10% to 12% of each elevation as permitted by ordinance. 5. The colors on the building are harmonious. 6. All elevations that can be viewed by the public have been designed to include windows and/or doors to minimize expanses of blank walls. 7. A bench is proposed along the east side of the entrance into the building (Sheet LI.O). 8. Trash enclosure is screened from views. Powers Boulevard Office Building May-+, 28, 2002 Page 4 9. No more than 50% of the parking lot faces Highway 5. This parking area is screened by existing topography and landscaping. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: (1) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides, including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may be adopted; (2) Consistency with this division; (3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing areas; (4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the development; (5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special attention to the following: a. An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors, and general community; b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; c. Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and neighboring structures and uses; and d. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking. Powers Boulevard Office Building May-+, 28, 2002 Page 5 (6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. Finding: The proposed development is consistent with the City's Highway 5 corridor design requirements, the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, and the site plan review requirements with the incorporation of staff's conditions. The site design is compatible with the surrounding development. It is functional and harmonious with the approved development for this area. WETLANDS There is one low area on-site. According to the Preliminary Plat for the Park Two Addition, no wetlands existed on this site prior to development. At the time of the preliminary plat, there was a small "wet area" just south of the existing storrnwater pond. This was impacted in 1981-1982 with the construction of the Instant Web building and parking lot. Because the existing basin was created for a purpose other than wetland creation, it qualifies for an incidental wetland exemption under the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (Minnesota Rule 8420). The applicant received an exemption application, but has not yet submitted the completed application. A complete exemption application should be submitted and an exemption should be issued prior to impact to the basin on-site. GRADING. DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL Existing site elevations for the property range from a high of 952 to 923 at the southerly pond. Highway 5, which borders the site to the north, is at an elevation of approximately 955±. The applicant is proposing to grade down from the northern slope to the proposed building elevation of 946.3. Staff is recommending that the slope off the northeasterly and southeasterly comer of the parking lot be revised to meet the maximum allowable slope grade of 3: 1 or that a retaining wall be constructed. The north half of the site will be cut down for construction of the building and parking lot, while the south half of the site will need to be filled for the parking lot. The existing site drains from north to south. There is an existing public pond in the southwesterly comer of the site. This pond receives existing site drainage in addition to partial site runoff from the Instant Web property to the east. The applicant is proposing to fill in the existing pond and transport the site's storrnwater to an off-site regional pond located within Lake Susan Park. The applicant will increase the storage capacity of the regional pond to accommodate the additional drainage that is being routed there. The enlarged pond must be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards, with maximum side slopes of 3: 1 and a 10: I slope bench at the normal water level. Powers Boulevard Office Building May-+, 28, 2002 Page 6 The applicant is also proposing an approximate 1O-foot tall berm just south ofthe pond expansion area. Staff is recommending that this berm be eliminated and the excess dirt be disposed of off-site. The City's Park and Recreation Director has indicated that the proposed berm is in the area of a future trail extension and is, therefore, not wanted. Stormwater calculations have been submitted for the site. Staff has reviewed the calculations and found that only minor revisions remain. The construction of the public pond will require a financial security to be obtained from the applicant. The security must be in the form of a cash escrow or letter of credit and will cover the installation of the public improvement, i.e. pond. The security is required to be in place prior to any construction occurring on site. Erosion control measures and site restoration shall be developed in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). The current plan shows silt fence around the entire perimeter of the site and a rock construction entrance at the main access drive. UTILITIES Municipal sanitary sewer and water is available to the site from Powers Boulevard. The applicant is proposing to connect to existing sewer and water lines off the southwesterly comer of the site and extend private services for the proposed office building. According to the City's Finance Department records, the site was previously assessed for utilities. As such, only sanitary sewer and water hook-up charges, along with the Met Council's SAC fee, will be due at the time of building permit issuance. The 2002 trunk utility hook-up charge is $1,383 per unit for sanitary sewer and $1,802 per unit for water. The 2002 SAC fee is $1,275 per unit. The applicant is responsible for obtaining permits from the appropriate regulatory agency including Carver County and the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District. STREETS/ACCESSIPARKING No public streets are proposed with this project. Full site access will be gained off of the existing Instant Web driveway just south of the site. Since the Instant Web driveway will now be a shared access, it falls under the private street ordinance. As such, a 40-foot wide cross- access easement must be recorded across the shared portion of the driveway of the Instant Web site. Private streets are permitted in this district if the following conditions exist: Powers Boulevard Office Building May-+, 28, 2002 Page 7 1. The prevailing development pattern makes it unfeasible or inappropriate to construct a public street. In making this determination the city may consider the location of existing property lines and homes, local or geographic conditions and the existence of wetlands. 2. After reviewing the surrounding area, it is concluded that an extension of the public street system is not required to serve other parcels in the area, improve access, or to provide a street system consistent with the comprehensive plan. 3. The use of a private street will permit enhanced protection of the city's natural resources including wetlands and forested areas. A public street is not required to serve this parcel. It was intended to share the existing access off of Powers Boulevard with Instant Web. A sidewalk is shown at the entrance of the building (southeast comer). This sidewalk must be extended to the west to connect with the existing trail on Powers Boulevard. The parking ordinance for medical office buildings requires one (1) parking space for each 150 square feet of gross floor area. The total spaces required for the building is 129 spaces. The applicant is providing 130 spaces. With the addition of Phase IT, the total parking spaces required will be 169. The plans reflect 169 parking spaces. Landscaping is proposed along the north side, adjacent to Highway 5, on the west side adjacent to Powers Boulevard as well as throughout the parking area. This will provide screening of cars parked in the lot. A berm is proposed between the parking lot and Powers Boulevard to provide additional screening. LANDSCAPING Minimum requirements for landscaping, based on 49,640 sq. ft. of parking lot area, include 3.971 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the parking lot, 18 trees for the parking lot, and buffer yard plantings along all property lines. The applicant's proposed as compared to the requirements for landscape area, parking lot trees and buffer yard plantings is shown in the following table.

Additionally, according to city ordinance the parking lot views from Highway 5 and Powers Blvd. must be obscured with either landscaping and/or berms. Staff recommends that the applicant meet all minimum quantities for parking lot and buffer yard landscaping requirements. The applicant should submit a revised landscape plan to the city for approval. LIGHTING Lighting locations have been illustrated on the plans. Only shielded fixtures are allowed with a maximum height of 30 feet. The ordinance requires no more than Y2 foot candles of light at the property line. The Photometric Plan shows that the proposed lighting complies with this requirement with the exception of the south and southwest portions of the site. These are driveway accesses. The southem access will be shared with the property located to the south of the subject site, and should be illuminated for safety reasons. Detailed lighting plan should be submitted when building permits are requested. SIGNAGE In the lOP-Industrial Office Park District the following signs are permitted: · Ground low profile business sign defined as "A business sign affIXed directly to the ground. " One ground low profile sign is permitted per site for each street frontage (Hwy. 5 & Powers Boulevard). The area of the sign may not exceed 64 square feet and 8 feet in height. The sign must maintain a 10 foot setback from property lines. · Wall mounted sign defined as: "A sign attached to or erected against the wall of a building or structure with the exposed face of the sign in a plane approximately parallel to the face of the wall, and which does not project more than twelve (12) inches from such building or structure. Powers Boulevard Office Building May-+, 28, 2002 Page 9 Wall signs shall not include product advertising. Wall signs shall include tenant identification, tenant logo, center name, or any combination of the three." Only one (1) wall-mounted sign is permitted on the street frontage for each building occupant. The applicant has two street frontages.

"7 DATE: April 26, 2002 SUBJ: Site Plan Review of Powers Office Building Land Use Review File No. 02-04 Upon review of the plans dated April 16, 2002 prepared by Alliant Engineering, I offer the following comments and recommendations: GRADING, DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL Existing site elevations for the property range rrom a high of952 to 923 at the southerly pond. Highway 5, which borders the site to the north, is at an elevation of approximately 955±. The applicant is proposing to grade down rrom the northern slope to the proposed building elevation of946.3. Staff is recommending that the slope off the northeasterly and southeasterly comer of the parking lot be revised to meet the maximum allowable slope grade of3: 1 or that a retaining wall be constructed. The north half of the site will be cut down for construction of the building and parking lot, while the south half of the site will need to be filled for the parking lot. The existing site drains rrom north to south. There is an existing public pond in the southwesterly comer of the site. This pond receives existing site drainage in addition to partial site runoff rrom the Instant Web property to the east. The applicant is proposing to fill in the existing pond and transport the site's stormwater to an off-site regional pond located within Lake Susan Park. The applicant will increase the storage capacity ofthe regional pond to accommodate the additional drainage that is being routed there. The enlarged pond must be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards with maximum side slopes of3:1 and a 10:1 slope bench atthe normal waterlevel. The applicant is also proposing an approximate IO-foot tall berm just south of the pond expansion area. Staff is recommending that this berm be eliminated and the excess dirt be disposed of off-site. The City's Park and Recreation Director has indicated that the proposed berm is in the area of a future trail extension and is, therefore, not wanted. Stormwater calculations have been submitted for the site. Staff has reviewed the calculations and found that only minor revisions remain. The construction ofthe public pond will require a financial security to be obtained rrom the applicant. The security must be in the form of a cash escrow or letter of credit and will cover the installation of the public improvement, i.e. pond. The security is required to be in place prior to any construction occurring on site. The City of Chanhassen . A growing community with clean lakes.

The current plan shows silt fence around the entire perimeter of the site and a rock construction entrance at the main access drive. UTILITIES Municipal sanitary sewer and water is available to the site from Powers Boulevard. The applicant is proposing to connect to existing sewer and water lines off the southwesterly comer of the site and extend private services for the proposed office building. According to the City's Finance Department records, the site was previously assessed for utilities. As such, only sanitary sewer and water hook-up charges along with the Met Council's SAC fee will be due at the time of building permit issuance. The 2002 trunk utility hook-up charge is $1,383 per unit for sanitary sewer and $1,802 per unit for water. The 2002 SAC fee is $1,275 per unit. The applicant is responsible for obtaining permits from the appropriate regulatory agency including Carver County and the Riley-Purgatory-BluffCreek Watershed District. STREETS/ACCESS No public streets are proposed with this project. Full site access will be gained off of the existing Instant Web driveway just south ofthe site. Since the Instant Web driveway will now be a shared access, it falls under the private street ordinance. As such, a 40-foot wide cross-access easement must be recorded across the shared portion of the driveway of the Instant Web site. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL I. Revise the slope off the northeasterly and southeasterly comer of the parking lot to meet the maximum allowable slope grade of 3: I or construct a retaining wall. 2. Eliminate the proposed berm just south of the regional pond expansion and dispose ofthe excess dirt off site. 3. The enlarged portion of the regional pond must be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards with maximum side slopes of3:1 and a 10:1 slope bench at the normal water level. 4. Construction ofthe public pond will require a financial security to be obtained from the applicant. Security must be in the form of a cash escrow or letter of Sharmeen Al-Jaff April 26, 2002 Page 3 credit and will cover the installation of the public improvement, i.e. pond.

" CHANHASSEN PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MAY 7,2002 Chairwoman Blackowiak called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and gave an introduction of the duties of the Planning Commission. MEMBERS PRESENT: Alison Blackowiak, Uli Sacchet, Bruce Feik, LuAnn Sidney, Craig Claybaugh, and Steven Lillehaug MEMBERS ABSENT: Rich Slagle STAFF PRESENT: Kate Aanenson, Conununity Development Director: Sharmin AI-Jaff, Senior Planner; and Mahmoud Sweidan, Project Engineer PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER THE REOUEST OF MOUNT PROPERTIES FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR A TWO-PHASE 28.980 SOUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDING. LOCATED SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 5. EAST OF POWERS BOULEVARD. ON LOT 2. BLOCK 3. PARK TWO. POWERS BOULEVARD OFFICE BUILDING. Public Present: Name Address Rob M. Olson Pete Karlis 7700 Crimson Bay Road 7910 County Road 26 Sharmin AI-Jaff presented the staff report on this item. Blackowiak: Thank you Sharmin. Commissioners, any questions of staff at this time? Uli, go ahead. Sacchet: Yeah, Madam Chair. I do have a few quick questions. One thing that I found interesting is how the pond would be relocated and so my question there was, where it's going to . be relocated south of that pond, there in the Lake Susan Park area, is that already wetland or is that dry land? Is there a wetland aspect involved basically? Al-Jaff: That actually is a pond. And just to orient you, we're looking at this piece off of Powers Boulevard. This is the existing pond, and this is the expansion. Sacchet: Now where the expansion is being put, that's not currently wetland? AI-Jaff: No. No it's not. Sacchet: Okay. So there is no wetland consideration off of that? That answers my question. Okay, thank you. When we look at this, are we just looking at Phase I or the. Al-Jaff: No. Planning Commission Meeting - May 7, 2002 Sacchet: We're looking at both phases. AI-Jaff: You're looking at both phases. Sacchet: So it would be appropriate to ask the applicant some questions about the Phase II part as well, okay. I noticed on the grading it seems like the borders of the grading, and actually the silt fence go beyond just the property itself. Is that something that needs any special consideration? Like I remember on other applications we used to say, some sort of an agreement needs to be in place from where it's going beyond the property itself. I wonder if I read that correctly. It seemed like the silt fence went actually beyond the property line. On the southeast for instance it seems to be quite a bit out from what I think is the property line. Is that because it's in a POO, it's no big deal or? Al-Jaff: No. It basically is, this is the portion that we're talking about correct? Sacchet: Right. Right down there, yeah. That's where it seems to go quite a bit off. Al-Jaff: It is to prevent erosion onto the neighboring site and you really have to have it in this area. Sacchet: And actually also towards Powers I think there's a similar. You start with south. Basically it's southern part there towards Powers it seems to go beyond. They don't need special agreements? That's just a given? AI-Jaff: No. When vegetation is re-established they do remove this. Sacchet: Just want to make sure. In some other proposals we usually put a condition that if there's hauling, that they need to get, submit a haul route. Where they have to, for the trucks and all that. I don't think there's one in this. AI-Jaff: Correct, and I believe that the dirt will balance on site. Sacchet: So they wouldn't need hauling, okay. AI-Jaff: Correct. Currently there is a depression in this area and the dirt will be moved into this depression. Sacchet: Yeah. I guess where they definitely will have dirt is to make the pond bigger. That's where the issue might come into play. Okay. Since this is going to be a shared driveway, technically it's going to be a private street. Al-J aff: Correct. Sacchet: We don't need to do anything? AI-Jaff: This is industrial office park and in that district it's a permitted use. Sacchet: Okay, so it's a straight forward thing. AI-Jaff: They don't need to go through the variance process. 2 Planning Commission Meeting - May 7, 2002 Sacchet: Okay. Not to get lost in minutia, they are spading trees. Al-Jaff: Yes they are. Sacchet: Redistributing trees. And I also noticed on the tree inventory, or the landscape plan, there is Colorado Spruce in there. Are we still, was our Forester still suggest to use different kinds of spruce? Just in order to be consistent with how we dealt with that in the past. Al-Jaff: Sure. Sacchet: Okay. I believe that's my questions, thank you. Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. Bruce, questions? Feik: Yeah, I have a quick one. Sorry about that. Okay I have a quick one regarding Phase I and Phase II on the approval process here. We'll be discussing both the Phase II portion with this. Is there a time limit regarding how long the approval of Phase II, how long the applicant would have to commence or complete Phase II? Al-Jaff: There is no expiration on site plan reviews. Aanenson: I guess it was the staffs opinion when they disclosed to us they may want to go 2 stories, it's always our intent to do full disclosure so you can review the impacts of the second story instead of coming back later with the intent and then we're stuck with maybe we didn't or didn't like it so the 2 stories is approved at this point. When they want to come back and do it, that's why all the parking and everything is set up ultimately for the two story. Feik: I guess my concern was really regarding codes. The design criteria. Other things that might change from now until the time that the second phase is added. It would not be subject to whatever changes council or the city has made? Aanenson: No. No. Feik: Is it appropriate in your mind to add a sunset clause on Phase II at all, even if it's a number of years versus whatever? Aanenson: Well, for them, if they're going to go to 2 stories, it affects their construction type in Phase I. They've got to size it so they can support the. Feik: Understood. Aanenson: Correct, so I think if they're going to size it such so they can add a second story on, I think in good faith, just like a subdivision, you kind of work with them on that. If it meets their design criteria today, and it's a nice looking building I'm not sure, you know. Feik: Okay, thank you. Blackowiak: Question LuAnn. 3 Planning Commission Meeting - May 7, 2002 Sidney: I guess I have a question for staff about the slope on the northeasterly and southeasterly comer of the parking lot. Are we close to a 3 to I grade or I guess the retaining wall is advisable in this case. AI-Jaff: I'm sorry, I didn't hearthe beginning of the question. Sidney: Oh I'm sorry. Wondering about the slope on the northeasterly and southeasterly comer. You say in the report that the grade, the slope should be revised to meet the maximum allowable slope grade. Are we close or is that a precipitous drop that we're talking about and retaining walls may be more advised. Sweidan: What we meant with the side slope 3 to I, not of course to carve out of that... It's actually what's the remaining of the existing grades. Now in this situation we always ask for 3 to I slope. If it happened that he needs a retaining wall, he has to put or install retaining wall. Otherwise we don't want to be like no sharperthan 3 to I dropping on the... Sidney: Okay. And I had one more question about, on page 7 Sharmin you talk about a sidewalk that's shown at the entrance to the building. Could you show how that would work and, is there a condition for that? AI-Jaff: Yes there is. Sidney: Is there? Blackowiak: I didn't see one. Sidney: I didn't see one. Blackowiak: I added 27. AI-Jaff: Okay. I thought I had it but it's very possible. So here is our, there is an existing sidewalk here and you have another existing sidewalk in this area. We believe that you should have some form of connection from this site to this sidewalk. Sidney: Okay. We'll add a condition for that. Al-Jaff: Okay. Blackowiak: Unless you find one that we missed. We both missed it so. Is that it for you? Any other questions of staff? Claybaugh: Yeah, I have a few questions. Some of the questions that I had have been addressed, but on page 5 under grading, drainage and erosion control. Staff highlighted the proposed IO foot tall berm. Was that resolved t9 your satisfaction? It was on page 5 of the report. Al-J aff: Under grading. Claybaugh: Bottom paragraph on page 5 under grading, drainage and erosion control. The applicant was proposing approximately a 10 foot tall berm just to the south of the pond expansion. Staff is recommending that that berm be eliminated. 4 Planning Commission Meeting - May 7, 2002 Al-Jaff: Yes. There was a conversation between Alliant Engineering and our engineering department and we believe that they have reached a resolution. They're just going to spread the dirt over a larger area, which is acceptable. Claybaugh: Okay. I may have overlooked it but on Sheet C-I, there's two bituminous pavement details. As I could see it didn't identify which detail applied to the drive in the parking lot here. Or whether a split was going to come into play. One's a light duty, the other's a heavy duty detail. Sweidan: Actually we asked them to use the city detail plates. We are not necessarily following these cross sections. Yeah. Blackowiak: So are you. Claybaugh: So it will come out in the wash? Sweidan: Yes. Blackowiak: Yeah, so you're happy with what they're going to be doing based on the city detail plates? Sweidan: Yes. Blackowiak: Okay. Sweidan: If it doesn't show exactly the same as it is, but it should be applied as the city plate. Blackowiak: Okay, thanks. Claybaugh: That's aliI have. Blackowiak: Okay, questions? Lillehaug: Yes, I do have one question. I spoke with you earlier this week and I failed to ask this question. In that pond expansion area, I realize that it's not currently a wetland area, but would that be considered an upper buffer area? AI-Jaff: An upper buffer area? Lillehaug: Right, a buffer to the wetland area. Aanenson: No. It's being treated as storm water is taking water from quite a, several locations so it's being maintained as a storm water pond. And managed as a storm water pond. Lillehaug: Okay but what. Aanenson: What I'm saying is it's mowed. It's manicured the same as a city's park. Lillehaug: Okay. 5 Planning Commission Meeting - May 7, 2002 Blackowiak: Okay. And I don't have any questions at this time. So at this point would the applicant or their designee like to make a presentation? If so, please come to the podium and state your name and address for the record. Bob Sofeldt: Good evening. My name is Bob Sofeldt. I'm the President of Mount Properties. I'm here with my partner, Steve Michaels and we are in agreement with the staff report and what we believe to be a nice addition to the city of Chanhassen at the comer of Powers and Highway 5. And we are available for any questions that you might have but we seek approval for a two phased project as submitted. Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. Commissioners, any questions of the applicant? Mr. Sofeldt, could I get you to come back up to the microphone? We have a couple questions for you. Claybaugh: If I could get you to comment just on the east elevation of the building there for the, along the property line there. There's been some discussion about the 3 to I grade. Possibility for a retaining wall. Could you comment on that? Bob Sofeldt: Yeah. This is a picture of the existing site. And in fact the site arrow is really on that east elevation. Weare not changing the grade on the east elevation at all, so what you see there currently, which is not only natural grasses now but is planted with trees. Several trees. We will be leaving that intact. We are just simply lowering the current elevation for the building pad and parking lot. Claybaugh: Can I re-address staff with respect. Blackowiak: Sure, go ahead. Claybaugh; Did I understand you correctly Mak that you wanted to achieve a 3 to 1 grade in that area as part of this project or did I misinterpret your comment? Sweidan: Yes, another part 3 to I. The shoulders. Out of the curb. Claybaugh; Right. If I understand the applicant correctly, the existing grade out there is how they intend to leave it. And if I understood the report correctly it's greaterthan a 3 to 1. Sweidan: Yes. Claybaugh: Okay. Is the City's position that they want that changed or is that acceptable to leave it as is undisturbed? Sweidan; According to our, you know side the slope, we usually ask for like 3 to 1. Now I know what you meant by keeping it, it will be more than 3 to I but he has to comply with the 3 to I slope. Aanenson: Right, or put a retaining wall in. That was our recommendation. It says or retaining wall. Claybaugh: Okay. So unless I'm misunderstanding something, I guess I'd readdress. .. if I understand the City's position, or staffs position correctly, they're asking that that shoulder be corrected and comply with city standards of the 3 to 1. 6 Planning Commission Meeting - May 7, 2002 Sweidan: We are in agreement. Aanenson: No, let me clarify that. No, we said if you can't make the 3 to I, then you have to put a retaining wall in. We're not saying he has to blend the slope. We're saying if you can't make it, then you have to put the retaining wall in. Claybaugh: When it's all said and done and they're done with their site grading and the rest of it, that slope on that easterly side you want to be 3 to I or less, is that correct? Aanenson: No. If you can't make it through the parking lot blending, a retaining wall could mitigate that. Claybaugh: Right. Okay. Is it your intention to put in a retaining wall if you can't achieve the 3 to I or blending? Bob Sofeldt Yes. We are in agreement with the staff report. Blackowiak: Yeah, that's condition I so, either or. Aanenson: Yes, correct. Blackowiak: Any questions? Claybaugh: That's all the questions I had. Blackowiak: Questions? No? Sacchet I have a question. Blackowiak: Vii, go ahead. Sacchet I have a question about the second phase elevation. The upper story that's kind of offset a little bit. Bob Sofeldt Yes. Sacchet The wall that is further on the roof, is basically just a wall. There's no windows. There's no decoration on them. I'm talking about this part. And then that's actually on the outside as well, and I wondered since the surrounding roadways were somewhat up, it's not like since it's a second story will not be all that visible. Actually it will be fairly visible I would think, and I wonder if you've given any thought to, or whether there's a reason why there's no windows or maybe some accents like little squares or what have you to break up the flatness of that wall. Is that a consideration or was that all in the picture at any time? Bob Sofeldt: It's difficult to catch the architectural design of this second phase with a flat picture like this, but this is really quite a dramatic addition and it will be a really architectural element to the building itself. There is a reason why those walls are blank. When you take a second story you have to create an elevator core, and you have to have 2 stairway cores. So there will be a stairway core and an elevator core by the main entrance, which is that wall, and there will be a stairway element on the north side as well. 7 Planning Commission Meeting - May 7, 2002 Sacchet: That eliminates the window possibility pretty much? Bob Sofeldt: Well, it doesn't eliminate the opportunity for a window, but architecturally those elements really blend in together. That sits quite a ways off the edge of the building and creates a certain massing that we wanted to create. There is a floorplan that you have in your plans that shows, it looks a little bit like a Z on the top of the roof there and creates some architectural interest, which is something that we really tried to achieve rather than just putting a cube over half of the building on the north side or the south side or the east side or the west side, we tried to create some architectural interest and that massing on the comers is what creates that element. Sacchet: So your intent was actually to put that in as an element? Bob Sofeldt: Absolutely. Sacchet: Not just that it happened to be a blank wall. Bob Sofeldt: Yeah. Sacchet: Well that answers it reasonably well. Blackowiak: Okay. Any other questions? LuAnn? Sidney: One question. Well two questions maybe. I guess about lighting on the building. Do you intend to have any wall lighting at all? Bob Sofeldt: Yes. On the north west elevations we do plan to up light the signage on the building. We think that that's going to be a really nice architectural element at that comer. And then there will be some, of course the standard lighting within the parking lot on the south and east sides. Sidney: Okay. And I'd maybe refer you to staff for guidance about types of lighting that would be allowed. And then EFIS, did you catch that? AI-Jaff: Yes. Sidney: Okay. Al-Jaff: It is used as an accent in very limited areas, and it's under the, what's permitted by ordinance. Sidney: Okay. And then EFIS. You said EFIS on the building. Is it only the comice strip that is EFIS? Okay. So that's less than 10 percent... Al-Jaff: Correct. Sidney: Very good. Al-Jaff: 15 is the maximum they can use and they are substantially below that. Blackowiak: Thanks. I just have one question. Do you have any kind of a time line on this Phase II? 8 Planning Commission Meeting - May 7, 2002 Bob Sofeldt: No. One of the things that happens in our buildings is we develop them, we want to create as much flexibility in them as possible and there's always, typically in, when you get a good client into a building and they want to grow their organization within a building, we wanted to create the opportunity for that to happen and so we are seeking that approval so that if per chance they do that, there is the opportunity to do it. We really do need approval for that because it is quite substantially a big deal to do, what to do. Blackowiak: Well yeah, structurally I'm sure. Bob Sofeldt: It really is and it adds a lot of expense to the building so they need to know that they're going to put the expense in that they have the right to do that in the future. Blackowiak: Sure. Okay, thank you. Alright. This item is open for a public hearing so if anybody would like to speak on this issue, please come to the microphone and state your name and address for the record. Seeing no one I will close the public hearing, and I'll open it up for commissioner's comments. Vii, would you like to start? Any comments from you? Sacchet: Yeah. Really the only thing that I was a little tom is those, what seemed relatively substantial blank walls but I hear that they're there for a reason. Not just functionally but also aesthetically so I feel that's their space. I am satisfied with.. .so generally I think this is a great project. I don't have any problems with it. Blackowiak: Okay, Bruce. Feik: I very much like the project. Typically drive by it twice, 3 times a day so, I think it'd be a good addition to that comer so I support the way it is. Blackowiak: Okay. Sidney: It's a very good looking building. I'm a little surprised it fits on that lot. Obviously it does. I never thought anything would build on that comer but it's very nice. I guess the only concem would be the slope off the parking lot so those are taken care of but certainly you'll be able to do that. Blackowiak: Okay, any other comments? Any comments Craig? Claybaugh: Yeah, I think it looks like a very nice project. I guess I share Uli's limited concem with respect to the blank wall on the second phase. I guess I would at least make the statement that I'd like staff to take a look. There's no elevator cores and stair shafts indicated on these drawings so we don't have any way to dial in if there is any opportunity in fact as part of that second phase to incorporate a window or two up there or something else additional to break up that outline but overall it looks like a nice project. I'd like them to take a look at that detail when those drawings come in. Come available but I'm prepared to move it forward. Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. Comments? Lillehaug: I also like the site plan. I do have a comment on the pond expansion though. One thing I think would be very necessary is to install floating silt curtain on the, adjacent to the expansion of the pond in the existing pond. I think that'd be very necessary. And then I'd also like to comment, just generally on this pond expansion. I realize that there's other parcels out 9 Planning Commission Meeting - May 7, 2002 here that are undeveloped, and that this is the regional pond for that area. And there's a potential to expand on this pond again in the future with possible dredging. It would be good to try to coordinate this all at once so we're not in this pond consecutively for the next few years. I realize that's hard but I would just like to comment that it would be a good goal of the city to try to coordinate this, the expansion of this pond for future development. Other than that I like the site plan. Blackowiak: I don't have much else to add. With the addition of a few conditions, specifically the sidewalk, trash enclosure, blue spruce substitution, and maybe the pond expansion, I think we're good to go on this. It looks good and I also think we should look into the elevator shaft and stairway and make sure that those are placed properly. And look into the possibility, like Craig suggested, of windows or something on the second floor. That's kind of a future thing but with that I would like a motion. Sacchet: Madam Chair, I make the motion that the Planning Commission recommends City Council approves site plan review number 02-3 as shown on the site plan dated April 16, 2002, subject to the following conditions, I through 26 with the following additions. 27. The same exterior materials will be used on the trash enclosure as on the building. That's 27. 28. Just to be consistent, if there is a need for hauling dirt off, that the hauling route needs to be, or whatever the standard language is that they use for that. 29. Applicant shall work with staff about the selection of tree species in the context of the Colorado Spruce question. Number 30. What was the sidewalk thing? Blackowiak: To extend the sidewalk to the west. Sacchet: Connect the sidewalk from the building to the sidewalk next to Powers Boulevard. Number 31. I like Steven's point that there should be, I know how he called these things a floating fence? Lillehaug: Floating silt fence. Sacchet: Floating silt fence between the existing pond and the expansion. And then on 32, applicant will work with staff to explore possibilities of possibly putting accents or windows in those large walls. I mean I don't want to put a condition in to say that they have to do it but I think it deserves possibly more consideration. Blackowiak: Good, with Phase II? Sacchet: With Phase II. That's specific with Phase II. Blackowiak: Okay, there's been a motion. Is there a second? Claybaugh: Second. Sacchet moved, Claybaugh seconded that the Planning Commission recommends the City Council approves Site Plan Review #02-3 as shown on the site plan dated April 16, 2002, subject to the following conditions: I. Revise the slope off the northeasterly and southeasterly comer of the parking lot to meet the maximum allowable slope grade of 3: I or construct a retaining wall. 10 Planning Commission Meeting - May 7, 2002 2. Eliminate the proposed berm just south of the regional pond expansion and dispose of the excess dirt off site. 3. The enlarged portion of the regional pond must be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards with maximum side slopes of 3: I and a 10: I slope bench at the normal water level. 4.
