The site is located on Lot 5, Block I, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition and has an area of 14.5 acres. It is zoned lOP, Industrial Office Park, and is bordered by Upland Circle to the east and Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul & Pacific Railroad to the north. Access to the site is gained via a driveway off of Upland Circle. The building is designed as a two story office/warehouse facility. Loading docks are located along the north side of the building, facing the railroad tracks and hidden from views. The applicant is proposing to utilize a combination of pre-colored rockface block, smooth finish insulated precast concrete panels, and glass curtain walls as the main materials on the building. A dark brown rock face block is used along the base of the building and to frame entrances into the building. The entrances into the building are projecting, mainly glass, and are capped by 4 tiers of metal flashing. Each tear is proposed to project 1.5 inches. A canopy further defines each door. The design of the building provides variation in form through stepped back elevations along the south and east. The overall design provides variation and detail on the facade of the building. Parking surrounds the building along all sides with the exception of the southwest portion of the building. This area will be utilized by employees as an outdoor seating area and will contain a plaza and a gazebo. The site is surrounded by ponds and wetlands and does not lend itself to having meandering berms around the parking lot. The applicant is providing landscaping and the sile is located a distance of approximately 700 feet from Lake Drive West, which will minimize views of the parking 101 area. Site landscaping must be increased to meet minimum ordinance requirements. A parking lot light plan is required. The plan should incorporate the light style, height, and photo-metrics. Also, a detailed sign plan, which includes lighting method, has to be submitted. The applicant explained that trash dumpsters will be located inside the building. Rooftop equipment and mechanical equipment are not shown on the plans. All equipment must be screened from views. In summary, with the incorporation of staff recommendations the proposed site plan application would meet ordinance requirements, and staff is recommending approval with conditions outlined in the staff report. Lot 5, Block 1, CLBP 7th SPR July 18,2000 Page 2 GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The proposed office/warehouse building, with an area of 10,000 square feet, will be situated on the northwest comer of Upland Drive. The site is bordered by Upland Drive to the east and Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul & Pacific Railroad to the north. Access to the building is proposed from Upland Drive. Parking will be located around the building. Screening of the parking lot can be improved by incorporating additional landscaping. The building is designed as a two story office/warehouse facility. Loading docks are located along the north side of the building, facing the railroad tracks and hidden from views. The applicant is proposing to utilize a combination of pre-colored rockface block, smooth finish insulated precast concrete panels, and glass curtain walls as the main materials on the building. A dark brown rock face block is used along the base of the building and to frame entrances into the building. The entrances into the building are projecting, mainly glass, and are capped by 4 tiers of metal flashing. Each tear is proposed to project 1.5 inches. A canopy further defines each door. The design of the building provides variation in form through stepped back elevations along the south and east. The overall design provides variation and detail on the facade of the . building. The applicant explained that trash will be located inside the building. Current state statutes require that recycling space be provided for all new buildings. The area of the recycling space must be dedicated at the rate specified in Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) 1300.4700 Subp. 5. The applicant should demonstrate the required area will be provided in addition to the space required for other solid waste collection space. Recycling space and other solid waste collection space should be contained within the same enclosure. Rooftop equipment and mechanical equipment are not shown on the plans.

SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: (I) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides, including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may be adopted; Lot 5, Block I, CLBP 7th SPR July 18, 2000 Page 3 (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. (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 comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, and the site plan review requirements. The site design is - compatible with the surrounding development. The building is attractive and harmonious with the approved development for this area. Lot 5, Block 1, CLBP 7th SPR July 18, 2000 Page 4 GRADING In conjunction with the development of the plat improvements for Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition (CLBP 7th), the developer rough graded all the building sites in the development and installed the public utilities and street improvements in Upland Drive. Only minor grading is anticipated to prepare the building site. Grading does not impact the two wetlands on the site. Overall the plans propose to develop the site in accordance with the approved grading and drainage plan for Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7'h Addition. The grading and site plans shall be revised to provide data required by section 20-109 (5) of the city code, i.e. show the wetland boundaries as shown on the approved grading and drainage plans for CLBP 7th, actual remaining trees and/or tree canopy, correct drawing scale, building setbacks, property line dimensions, and existing storm sewer lines on the parcel. The trees shown on the westerly portion of the site have been designated to be removed in conjunction with previous wetland mitigation for CLBPK 7th and/or grading activities. The contractor and or developer shall perform an inspection of the existing utility lines on the site prior to construction activities commencing and notify the Chanhassen Engineering Department of any issues, i.e. dirt in lines, damage to manholes, etc. Once construction commences, the applicant shall be responsible for any or all damages to the city's utility system on the site as a result of development. Erosion control fencing is already installed on the site from previous site grading activities. Rock construction entrances are proposed at both access points. DRAINAGE Storm water runoff from the parking lots will be conveyed via storm sewers into the existing regional storm water pond south of the site for pretreatment. The storm sewer system on the site will be constructed and owned by the applicant upon completion, No additional storm water ponding is necessary with this proposal. Staff recommends that the storm sewer outlet pipe into the pond be relocated further away from the pond outlet control structure to provide more time for settlement of suspended solids. Detailed storm drainage calculations will be required to determine if there are sufficient catch basins being provided to convey surface water runoff to the pond. The drainage calculations shall be for aID-year, 24-hour storm event and be submitted to the City for review and approval at time of building permit application. Lot 5, Block I, CLBP 7th SPR July 18, 2000 Page 5 UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water is available to the site from Upland Circle. The developer will be responsible for extending the utility improvements from Upland Circle to serve this parcel. Installation of the private utilities throughout the site (i.e. storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water) will require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. STREETS/P ARKING The plans propose to utilize the two existing access points from Upland Circle. The parking lot drive aisle widths and turning radii appear to be designed in accordance with the City's ordinance. Industrial driveway aprons with pedestrian ramps have been constructed with Upland Circle. A concrete sidewalk is proposed from the building to the existing 6-foot wide sidewalk in Upland Circle. The parking lot appears to be fairly well laid out. The city's parking ordinance requires 4 parking stalls per 1,000 square feet of office (320 stalls) and one stall per 1000 square feet of warehouse area for the first 10,000 square feet of gross floor area and one space for each additional 2,000 square feet (15 stalls). The total parking spaces required by ordinance are 335. The applicant is providing 335 spaces. WETLANDS AglUrban Wetlands There are two ag/urban wetlands located on the site. The first is an elongated basin that lies to the northeast of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad. This emergent, seasonally flooded wetland is dominated by reed canary grass, with stinging nettle, alder, ash and box elder. The second ag/urban wetland is located in the southern portion of the property. This wetland is designated as a "pond" on both the preliminary plans and the architectural drawings. The designation should be changed to "wetland" to reflect the basin's regulatory standing. The wetland is an emergent marsh dominated by reed canary grass and cattails, with duckweed and water plantain. The applicant is not proposing wetland impact. The applicant will be required to re-seed any disturbed wetland areas with MnDOT seed mix 25 A, or a similar seed mix which is approved for wetland soil conditions. A wetland buffer area should be surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. In addition, the applicant will be required to provide a vegetative barrier to define the buffer edge. The applicant will install wetland buffer edge signs Lot 5, Block 1, CLBP 7th SPR July 18,2000 Page 6 (one buffer sign per 300 feet of wetland edge) under the direction of City staff prior to construction and will pay the City $20 per sign.

Only minor grading is anticipated to prepare the building site. Grading does not impact the two wetlands on the site. Overall the plans propose to develop the site in accordance with the approved grading and drainage plan for Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th Addition. The grading and site plans shall be revised to provide data required by section 20-109 (5) of the city code, i.e. show the wetland boundaries as shown on the approved grading and drainage plans for CLBP 7th, actual remaining trees and/or tree canopy, correct drawing scale, building setbacks, property line dimensions, and existing storm sewer lines on the parcel. The trees shown on the westerly portion ofthe site have been designated to be removed in conjunction with previous wetland mitigation for CLBPK 7th and/or grading activities. The contractor and or developer shall perform an inspection of the existing utility lines on the site prior to construction activities commencing and notify the Chanhassen Engineering Department of any issues, i.e. dirt in lines, damage to manholes, etc. Once construction commences, the applicant shall be responsible for any or all damages to the city's utility system on the site as a result of development. Erosion control fencing is already installed on the site from previous site grading activities. Rock construction entrances are proposed at both access points. DRAINAGE Storm water runoff from the parking lots will be conveyed via storm sewers into the existing regional storm water pond south of the site for pretreatment. The storm sewer system on the site will be constructed and owned by the applicant -:iry o{Chanhassen, A 'lI'OWil¡f commul/if'! with cleall lakes, allalitv schoob, a cliamzinf downtowlI, thrivinf businesses, and beauti/ù! pal'S. A freat place to liI'f, ,,'ork, alld plav Sharmin AI-Jaff CLBP 7th Addition July 12,2000 Page 2 upon completion. No additional storm water ponding is necessary with this proposal. Staff recommends that the storm sewer outlet pipe into the pond be relocated further away from the pond outlet control structure to provide more time for settlement of suspended solids. Detailed storm drainage calculations will be required to determine if there are sufficient catch basins being provided to convey surface water runoff to the pond. The drainage calculations shall be for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event and be submitted to the City for review and approval at time of building permit application. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water is available to the site from Upland Circle. The developer will be responsible for extending the utility improvements from Upland Circle to serve this parcel. Installation of the private utilities throughout the site (i.e. storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water) will require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. STREETS The plans propose to utilize the two existing access points from Upland Circle. The parking lot drive aisle widths and turning radii appear to be designed in accordance with the City's ordinance. Industrial driveway aprons with pedestrian ramps have been constructed with Upland Circle. A concrete sidewalk is proposed from the building to the existing 6-foot wide sidewalk in Upland Circle. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL I. The grading and site plans shall be revised to provide data required by section 20-109 (5) of the city code, i.e. show the wetland boundaries as shown on the approved grading and drainage plans for CLBP 7th, actual remaining trees and/or tree canopy, correct drawing scale, building setbacks, property line dimensions, and existing storm sewer lines on the parcel. 2. Construction activities adjacent to wetlands shall be protected with Type III erosion control fence. 3.

Pelerson: Any questions of staff? Conrad: Just one Shannin. On your recommendation number 6, Ihe sign display area shall not exceed 3%. AI-Jaff: 11 depends on the size of the building and based upon this building. Aanenson: II's supposed to be proportional 10 Ihe building size. Pelerson: Sharmin refresh my memory. Help me refresh my memory on Ihe parking ratio for office induslrial, I see you've got warehouse and office. Is it? AI-Jaff: If iI's under 49,000 square feellhen iI's 4 y, per 1,000. Pelerson: Per 1,000 of? AI-Jaff: Per 1,000 square feel gross floor area of office. Ifil goes above Ihe 49, Ihen it's 4 spaces. And then it goes down again, and then it's I per 20,000. Anything above. Aanenson: So iI's related to a proportion related to Ihe size oflhe building. The bigger the building, the less parking. Pelerson: But Ihe warehouse office ratio is really whal I'm asking, or isn't thai relevanl? II has to be. So you've got 100,000 square foot warehouse with 10,000. AI-Jaff: II's 80,000 office, 20,000 warehouse. Peterson: Okay. So that's 412 10 I of the 80,000. Or is it Ihe 400,000? AI-Jaff: Repeat your question one more lime please. Peterson: I'm just curious as 10 what the ralio is based upon. Is it based upon the total square foolage of the building or is il jusl the square footage of the office and not Ihe warehouse? AI-Jaff: It's square footage of office and then warehouse separalely. Aanenson: Two differenl formulas. Based on the use. Pelerson: Okay. Got it. Other questions? Blackowiak: Mr Chair, can we go through thai again? Then what's your office formula? 4 per I,OOO? AI-Jaff: It's 4 per 1,000. Blackowiak: So that's 320. And then your warehouse is? AI-Jaff: Warehouse is 1. Aanenson: Are we checking our math? Peterson: No, I was just curious. I was just checking my curiosity. AI-Jaff: 1 space for each 1,000 square foot of gross floor area up to 10,000 and then I additional space for each additional 2,000 square feet. Blackowiak: 5. Okay, so you have 335. They're right on. Peterson: I'd like Ihe record 10 show that I wasn't asking 10 check the malh. Aanenson: I wanl the record 10 show we were right. Peterson: So noled. Any olher queslions of slaff outside the parking? Blackowiak: Mr. Chair I do have one question. The liers, Ihe entrance liers. Each lier, 1.5 inches, four of them makes 6 inches. Is Ihat enough? I mean is it going to make a difference when you're standing on Ihe slreet? Are you going to see any varialion or do Ihey need to be bigger? Aanenson: I'm just Irying 10 give you a similar building Ihat you can look at that. AI-Jaff: Some of the existing buildings out Ihere show each tier projecls Y. of an inch. These are going 10 be double. So I believe you will have some... B lackowiak: Some inlerest. AI-Jaff: You will be able to see them. Blackowiak: Okay. It jus I didn't sound like a 101 on such a big building so. Pelerson: Thanks. Would the applicanllike to make a presenlalion? If so, please come forward and state your name and address please.

I drove out by there and this will be Ihe firsl building thai has the windows on the second floor and I think that's really going to be nice. ThaI's all. Pelerson: Mark, knowing Ihat I guess, part of the reason why I brought up the parking is, when you start getting inlo Ihis large ofa building. Two story, you know call center parking, ifthat building does lurn into a call center, 4 \'2 is edging on not being enough. I don't know what the tenanl is going 10 have in there but. Mark Undestad: We also have Lol 6 in this, they own Lol 6 too so. They boughl Lot 6 just in case. What they may do is build another 20,000 foot office building or somelhing over on Lot 6 if they need overflow. Right now they can bring in about 135 employees with the 300 and some parking stalls.
