LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: Permitted use. --.J L , I rTUfnl :J ~ l Lake Ann 1 KIMBERLY LANE 2 Kelly Court 3 Nicholas Way . W 78tl} A\- SHe"'''; Park Court Park Road Lake Ann Park Maintenance Building July 18,2000 Page 2 SUMMARY The Park and Recreation Department is proposing to build a new maintenance building at Lake Ann Park. This building will replace the existing building. The building, which is 10,080 square feet, includes an area for the Waconia Ridgeview Ambulatory services. The building is in the Highway 5 overlay district and meets all of design standards. The building is proposed to be constructed late this summer and be occupied by the first of the year. A color rendering and material samples will be available for the meeting. Staff is recommending approval of the site plan. BACKGROUND When the Highway 5 corridor study was prepared and the location of the frontage road was approved it was determined that the existing park maintenance buildings would have to be removed. The old buildings consisted of an old barn and a pole shed with outdoor storage. The total storage was 3,4000 square feet. The new building will be 10,080 square feet and includes ambulatory services for Waconia Ridgeview. This service is currently housed at Fire Station #2 at Hwy. 7 and Minnewashta Parkway. The site is zoned RR, Rural Residential and the 2020 Land Use is Park and Open Space. The building and use are consistent with the zoning district. Private Parks and Open Space is a permitted use and storage buildings are a permitted accessory uses. GENERAL SITE PLAN ARCHITECTURE The exterior of the building is made of mortar less brick system. There are three different colors; reddish brown, gray and light brown. The roof has green asphalt shingles. The height of the building is 27 feet to the top of the pitch of the roof. The roofis 126 feet over the park portion of the building and 20 feet for the ambulance portion. Additional interest to the roof could be achieved by adding copulas to give a rural look to the building. Because the building is primarily a storage building, glass block windows were added to provide the look of window while providing security and giving architectural interest. The entire hard surface area is approximately 25,000 square feet. Because the use is part of the larger park which is 102 acres, impervious surface was not calculated. All parking will be behind the building. There will be separate driveways for the ambulance and maintenance building and the parking via the park road. The fenced storage area is setback 170 feet from the frontage road and 65 feet from the trail on the north side of the frontage road. The building is setback 60 feet from the park road. All refuse will be stored in the fenced storage area. Lake Ann Park Maintenance Building July 18, 2000 Page 3 A lighting plan was not submitted with the site plan. Lighting should be limited to security lighting. A detailed lighting plan will reviewed by the staff and approved consistent with city ordinances. Landscaping requirements for the maintenance building include buffer yard plantings to the south of the building. This area abuts the proposed trail, frontage road and Highway 5. Requirements include the following: Reauired I ProDosed South buffer yard B 3 overstory trees I I 7 overstory trees 30' x 300' 6 understory trees II understory trees 6 shrubs 7 shrubs The applicant has proposed a chain link fence with vines around the maintenance yard. Staff recommends that this be changed to a wooden privacy fence to better screen the view of maintenance equipment from the trail, frontage road and Highway 5.. The vines can still be added to the fence. Staff proposes changes to the plant schedule due to questionable hardiness or adaptability to soil conditions. Autumn Purple white ash and Pin oak should be changed to American linden and Red oak respectively. Given the site, these choices will do better than the proposed species. GRADING The site is proposed to be graded to prepare the building pad and maintenance yard. The site will be lowered approximately three feet to conform to the existing topography and future Trunk Highway 5IWest 78th Street frontage road being constructed by MnDOT this August. There is a row of trees that will be removed as a result of grading activities. Erosion control fencing is proposed along the downstream side of the site as well as a rock construction entrance in accordance with the City's Best Management Practices. A watershed district and DNR permit will be required with this project. DRAINAGE The site sheet drains east and west. The proposed grading will maintain the pre-developed drainage pattern in the area for the most part. The plans propose to drain the runoff from the maintenance yard area into a storm sewer system that will convey the runoff down to the existing creek, which is a tributary of Bluff Creek. Due to the limited amount of runoff this site will generate it will not be necessary to construct a storm pond for pretreatment before discharging into Bluff Creek. However, it will still be necessary to pretreat the runoff prior to discharging into the creek. Staff recommends that a sump catch basin with a skimming device be installed to collect sediment and prevent oils or other chemicals from being discharged off site. The Lake Ann Park Maintenance Building July 18, 2000 Page 4 location and design of the storm sewer should also be modified to discharge at the creek to minimize erosion at the end of the pipe. UTILITIES Municipal utility service is indirectly available to the site. Water service is proposed to be extended along the park road. The sewer line to service this site is located approximately 500 feet southwest of the site near Trunk Highway 5. The plans propose to extend the sewer line to the building underneath future West 78th Street. The utility improvements proposed to service the site shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the City's Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. STREETS Access to the project is and will be maintained from the park access road, which is accessed from West 78th Street. Access to the park will be maintained during construction. The maintenance yard and drive aisles will have concrete curb and gutter except for the driveway to the ambulance bay. This driveway will be a standard residential type 20 feet wide. HC-l OVERLAY DISTRICT The proposed development is located within the Highway 5 corridor and must comply with the design standards. The standards of the overlay district include: I. Parking and building orientation: \ · The site meets this standard. The parking setbacks in the HC-I district are those established by the underlying zoning. The site parking meets this requirement. The building is oriented toward Lake Ann Park Drive. The side and rear of the building face Highway 5 Frontage Road. The parking and storage will be completely screened with landscaping and a wood fence. 2. The architectural design standards: · The materials and details of the building are consistent with the Hwy. 5 standards. The project incorporates brick exterior with a well-designed landscaping plan. Building materials are of high quality. The roof is pitched. · The overall design and architectural theme is a mortar less brick system. · Building height is limited to 3 stories or 40 feet for accessory structures. The proposal is one story or 27 feet in height to the top of the pitch of the roof. The HC-I District would permit a 3 story or 40 foot structure. Lake Ann Park Maintenance Building July 18,2000 Page 5 · The project incorporates the use of high quality materials in both the building and landscaping. · The building components are proportional and relate well to one another. · Building colors are harmonious and create a pleasant aesthetic experience. 3. Landscape Design and Site Furnishings: The applicant's landscaping plan is well designed and incorporates the use of native tree species as well as extensive buffering materials and the adjacent trial along the frontage road. PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE On Tuesday, July 18, 2000, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval with the additional conditions. The main concern of the commission is the architecture. They felt because this building is the entrance to the park it should have more "character." Changes to the report are shown in bold.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN. Kate Aanenson presented the staff report on this item. Jeff Wyant: My name's Jeff Wyant. I'm with Engelhardt Associates and we worked on the civil portion of these plans. HTG Architects did the building design and Hoisington-Koegler did the landscape plans so if you have any questions on the engineering portion, , can surely answer it and' can try to answer anything on the building. Peterson: 'fyou were to speculate. If we said you had 20% more money to spend, would the architect still design a building, do you think these would substantially change? How much of the building design do you think was driven by just pure, this is the money we have to spend? Jeff Wyant: 'would say it was driven by just meeting the ordinances. 'don't think the money was an issue at all. Aanenson: Substantial change was made through the whole process from what originally came in so. believe the original estimate was closer to $400 or $500,000. It will be closer to $750-800,000 now. And again that was the fencing issues. The block. Adding the brick. All those were add on's. Peterson: 'guess the reason for my question, and part of this is maybe a speech. 'guess even today after those changes Kate, if this was a commercial building, you know' would request and not approve if architecturally it didn't have more interest. You know' think that this is an opportunity that we as a city to make a statement about who we are and how we want to be perceived by the community and if this building is evidence of how we want to be perceived, then my perspective is we're woefully lacking. So it just doesn't do it. 'think that the City should have higher standards of architectural design and quality than the commercia1 side because it is a statement of who we are and how we want to be perceived. As I go over now and I've been traveling a lot the last couple years and obviously I take notice of what the cities are doing and there's a lot of neat buildings that are being designed across the country that have character to them that speak to who their state. And this statement' don't want to repeat this statement. So that was my speech so anyway. Sorry to take up your quality time. Questions of the applicant? Sacchet: Yeah Mr. Chair. I have a question. It speaks a little bit of the same thing. Just express, how far is it away from Lake Ann Park Road or Drive, whatever it is? Aanenson: It's in the report. I think it's 50 feet. Sacchet: 50 feet from the drive. Blackowiak: I thought it was 60. Sacchet: .. . right around 60. The reason why I ask is, do we need all that maintenance yard space behind it? Aanenson: Yes. Sacchet: Because when I went out there I realized it was a significant setback from the road, but then also felt it was close to the road because this is a park. And I felt that if we want to maintain the character of the park and get it further away, which apparently you can't. Aanenson: In the site plans you can see where the existing building was and where it sits in proximity. ... plan shows the existing building. Sacchet: There are some stakes outthere...one of the front ones. Aanenson: ...frontage road but it's in that approximate. But it is increasing in size significantly. Sacchet: Right. It's going to be much bigger than the shed that's currently there. And it's quite a bit closer to the road. So that use is... for basically the trees? Because the trees are all on the maps we got and the trees are obviously there and they're pretty easily identifiable. So basically my concern is, is that the statement you want to make to have like the building so prominent I mean in the park setting? Aanenson: Two points. It is the access issue. Getting in and out. To get the equipment to plow the sidewalks. A lot of that is housed out of this building. For proximity. To get it close to the entrance. Do they want to go into the park for all that? Security reasons. Again with the ambulatory service, you want it closer to the perimeter of the park, and it's in the approximate location it was before without tree loss or greater intrusion into the park. In that approximate area. Working with the trail and the structure going on underneath. There isn't a lot of flexibility. We looked at a couple different orientations. Trying to preserve a tennis court. Looking at taking the tennis courts out. All those options were explored and meeting with all the staff, departments. Building, engineering, we felt that this was probably the best location as far as minimizing impact to the area. And again, all the parking for the employees, everything else will be behind the building. Even the people using the ambulance service. Their parking will be behind the building so when they come in, you shouldn't see...which doesn't show up on the building. We're trying to give a nice look to the front of the building and have all the other activity coming to the rear in the parking. Sacchet: I do believe that that concern can be mitigated to a large extent through the plantings but I wanted to hear what you had to say. Kind: Kate, will you speak to the ambulance service and how that works. Is there a person that's there that responds to calls? Aanenson: Yes. Kind: So this facility will basically have personnel. I can't even construct a sentence anymore. Aanenson: I don't know if they're there 24 hours a day. I thought they were. There's someone that's housed there for dispatch. Kind: So that might address some of the security issues with the glass block. I have kind ofan issue with how that looks. I think real glass would look better. Aanenson: We talked about the spandrow. The thing is is that they're in there lifting things back and forth. Kind: And they're not real careful? Yeah, it's more durable than security maybe. 2 Aanenson: Yeah. And there's kids up there. Activity. It is isolated. Even though the ambulance is next door. I'm not sure if they're in the back part of the building, which they will be because the ambulance is up front. They're in the back part of the building. Kind: Now how does that work? This is probably not related to this proceedings but does Ridgeview pay us for use ofa certain amount of square footage? Oh sorry, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I was just curious. Sacchet: There is another concem Mr. Chair. Are we going to have ambulances speeding out of our Lake Ann Park then? Aanenson: Yes. Sacchet: With lights flashing. Aanenson: Yes. Sacchet: Is that not a security issue? Peterson: Or safety. Sacchet: Safety issue, I mean safety issue. We have kids going in and out of the park... Aanenson: I'm not sure it's any different than the fire trucks here by the school. Sacchet: That's true. Peterson: Other questions of the applicant? Blackowiak: Mr. Chair I have a couple quick questions here. The first, is there going to be any outdoor non fenced storage like there is now? Aanenson: No. That was a condition that they, the planning staff said that would be large enough to accommodate all outdoor storage and it be, the original plans called for chain link and we said it had to be wood. Opaque. Blackowiak: Okay. And then secondly, I didn't see any condition about cleaning up what's there. There's a lot of stuff. Aanenson: Outdoors right now? Blackowiak: Well actually the, last time I really walked down there I think the boats were still up but just junk. Aanenson: Right, and that's the stuff that's stored outdoors... Blackowiak: Yeah. 3 Aanenson: And that's all going to be moved in there. That building is down. They sold the building. And that building is removed so it's the pole barn is not there. So everything is outdoors right now. Blackowiak: Right, so we won't see anything outdoors? Aanenson: It will all be in storage. Blackowiak: Because as you go to the west of the building I guess it is a little bit right now, you know in the back where they store all the stuff. As you go down the hill and, there's just a bunch of stuff. I mean like old concrete blocks and parking curb things you know with the yellow paint. Aanenson: I guess I would ask that you make an additional recommendation to insure that. Blackowiak: That it's all cleaned up. Aanenson: Yep. Blackowiak: And it may well have been, I didn't really trapse down there too far but I did last year. Aanenson: Again, let me go back to one of the plans... Again some of this is being driven by the frontage road and the grading. Some of that's already being set in place. Some of that impact for the frontage road and the trail. So this is kind of following that same, I mean setting in place some other motions of what that elevation will be and the siting so again that's kind of how we.. . should it be, remove the tennis courts. Should it be going here? How does that work with the existing grades? Peterson: Any other questions? Okay. Thanks for sticking around. Jeff Wyant: No problem. Peterson: For all those questions you ,got answered right. \ Jeff Wyant: I knew that's how it would be but that's the way it goes. Peterson: Motion and a second for a public hearing. Blackowiak moved, Kind seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened. BIackowiak moved, Sacchet seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Peterson: Any volunteers for this quick summary? Kind: Mr. Chair I'll take a stab at it. I agree with your comments that I think the city should be setting the example of the kind of architecture that we want to see. Especially, I consider this the Highway 5 corridor and we're talking about coming up with some material standards and, I just don't see this as being a fine example of what we want other people to do so I'd really like to improve the look of the building. Otherwise I'm fine with the conditions. I like Alison's idea of adding a clean-up. I don't know what we do. Do we table it and look at it again? Aanenson: I believe the council ultimately will make a decision on this so I would recommend that you, if you want to talk about the architecture, that it be improved, you just put that condition. 4 Peterson: Other comments? Sacchet: Yes Mr. Chair. So we have the clean-up and we have the more architectural interest like cupola and all that stuff. And should we add something about that little more front planting? Or do we think there is enough there to mitigate that it's. Peterson: I think it depends upon the architecture. If your architecture is more. Sacchet: Then you want to see the building. Okay. I would agree with that, okay. Peterson: Other comments? Conrad: I agree with your's. It's a boring building and it's sort of welcoming to the park. The entrance which you find in any kind of development. It's the entrance that counts. And this entrance doesn't count. Kind: This should be as nice as the Snyder building. Conrad: I think, it is a maintenance and so it's hard to put a lot of money into something that's just holding stuff. But it's not, we shouldn't do it. Peterson: Ifthat's the case, then you take it out of the public eye. Conrad: Yeah. Totally agree. Totally agree. Peterson: I just, with as much emotion as I can generate I will be extremely sadden if this goes through because it's just totally inappropriate I think for the image that I have heard passionately council members articulate on who we want to be and more importantly what we are. So if this goes through it will change my view of really how we want as a city to develop. Sacchet: It's light years beyond what's currently there. But that doesn't mean that it's sufficient. Peterson: So, a motion and a second please.
