APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Section 20-518 of the City Code requires the applicant to receive
development stage approval of the PUD following general concept
approval. The development stage is essentially the preliminary
plat of the site (Attachment #1) .
Section 20-421 requires a wetland alteration permit for the
creation of a pond within a Class A wetland and for any digging,
' dredging or filling in a Class A wetland.
Section 20-438 dredging will be allowed only when it will not
have a net adverse effect on the ecological or hydrological
' charactertics of the wetlands. Dredging when allowed shall be
limited as follows :
' 1. It shall be located as to minimize the impact on vegetation.
2 . It shall not adversely change water flow.
3 . The size of the dredged area shall be limited to the minimum
required for the proposed action.
' 4 . Disposal of the dredged material is prohibited within the
wetland district unless specifically authorized in the
wetland alteration permit.
5 . Disposal of any dredged material shall include proper erosion
control and nutrient retention measures .
6 . Dredging in any wetland areas is prohibited during waterfowl
breeding season or fish spawning season, unless it is deter-
mined by the city that the wetland is not used for waterfowl
breeding or fish spawning.

BACKGROUND
The City Council reviewed the PUD concept plan on June 29, 1987,
and approved the concept plan as a PUD with certain conditions.
The developer subsequently revised the concept plan to address
' the Council ' s conditions. The Planning Commission and City
Council held a joint meeting on July 27 , 1987, to review the
overall PUD philosophy and specifically, the Lake Susan Hills
West PUD proposal. The City Council recommended certain changes
' ( increase Outlot H to a five acre park) and again approved the
concept plan as a PUD.
The City Council felt that it was beneficial to have the 299 acre
site developed as a PUD rather than as a subdivision. As a PUD
r
a
Lake Susan Hills 3rd Addition
June 7, 1989
Page 3 -
the site will be reviewed as one coordinated development enabling
the city to require adequate park facilities and to require logi-
cal staging of road improvements and utilities . Since the PUD
will be developed in separate preliminary plats , the city and
developer negotiated a concept plan agreement to ensure that all
of the conditions will be provided for each phase.
On October 5 , 1987 , the City Council approved the land use plan
amendment, wetland alteration permit, rezoning and preliminary
plat for 76 single family lots for Lake Susan Hills West 1st
Addition. At that time, the City Council approved to rezone the
property from RSF, R-4 , R-8, and R-12 , to PUD-R and to amend the
land use plan to correspond to the different areas of density
approved as part of the PUD Concept Plan. The City Council also
approved a wetland alteration permit for the construction of a
holding pond within a Class B wetland and preliminary plat for
the First Addition of Lake Susan Hills West containing 76 single
family lots on the east and west side of Powers Boulevard.
On May 8, 1989, the City Council approved the preliminary plat
for 21 single family lots for Lake Susan Hills West 2nd Addition
PUD located on the east side of Powers Boulevard (Attachment #5) .
PRELIMINARY PLAT ,
The applicant is proposing 55 single family lots located on the
west side of Powers Boulevard west of the Lake Susan Hills 1st
Addition plat. The average lot size is 15 , 738 square feet.
Twenty-six ( 47% ) of the lots contain less than 15 , 000 square feet
and 29 ( 53%) of the proposed lots contain more than 15 , 000 square
feet. The lot sizes range from 12, 000 square feet to 70, 668
square feet. On the preliminary plat Lot 1 located in the south-
east corner of the proposed lots shows only 11, 974 square feet.
Once the final plat is provided Lot 1 will be adjusted to provide
the required 12, 000 square foot minimum. To ensure that Lot 1
will contain 12, 000 square feet, staff is recommending that the
applicant provide an amended preliminary plat showing all of the
lots with at least 12, 000 square feet. The PUD ordinance
requires that at least 50% of the single family lots contain
15, 000 square feet or more and that the average lot size shall
not be below 13 ,500 square feet. The PUD ordinance also requires
a minimum of 80 feet at the building setback line ( 30 ' ) and that
no lot shall be smaller than 12, 000 square feet. Once the lot
with the 11, 974 square feet has been adjusted to contain 12, 000
square feet, the preliminary plat will meet all of the PUD con-
ditions.
Streets '
The 55 lots will be serviced by a 50 foot public right-of-way
which will be a continuation of Heron Drive from Powers Boulevard I
Lake Susan Hills 3rd Addition
June 7 , 1989
Page 4
' to Audubon Road. Therefore, the third addition is providing a
secondary access to the development. The existing right-of-way
' servicing the west side is 60 feet and the proposed right-of-way
should be increased to 60 feet to be consistent. The two streets
going south from Heron Drive must be provided with temporary
turnarounds which are paved with an all weather surface.
Drainage, Grading and Utilities
' See City Engineer memorandum.
Landscaping
' The ordinance requires one tree per lot to be provided by the
developer. As part of the PUD approval, the applicant proposed
increases in landscaping at entrances and along the boulevards .
In addition, the PUD was approved with the condition to preserve
existing vegetation as best possible. The preliminary plat
includes one tree per lot and additional landscaping along the
' intersections , along the trail to the park and along Audubon
Road. As part of the approval from the second addition, the
applicant provided an amended landscaping plan that reduced the
number of Pin Oaks as boulevard trees. The DNR forester recom-
mended different types of vegetation over Pin Oak. The amended
landscaping plan for Lake Susan Hills 2nd Addition provided
Hackberry instead of the proposed Pin Oak. To be consistent with
' the second addition, staff is recommending that the proposed Pin
Oak on the landscaping plan for the third addition also be
replaced with Hackberry.
Parks and Open Space
The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the preliminary plat
' at the March 21, 1989, meeting. The Commission action was based
on the PUD agreement with the Lake Susan Hills West developer
with the following conditions :
1 . Dedication of Outlot A for park purposes and to require the
grading of Outlot A at the same time streets are installed in
accordance with the grading plans provided by the city.
2 . The installation of five foot wide concrete sidewalks along
the through streets, specifically on the north side of Heron
Drive.
3 . Provide a 20 foot wide trail easement along the west side of
' Powers Boulevard as outlined in Sections 4 and 5 of the PUD
contract dated November 16 , 1987 .
4 . The developer shall receive 50% credit on park dedication
11 fees and 100% credit on trail dedication fees.

' MANAGER' S COMMENTS
Lake Drive will act as a collector for all properties in this
general area. Although this subdivision does not directly con-
nect to Lake Drive, it will act to serve the entire Lake Susan
development to the west of County 17. Generally, I would attempt
' to find a means by which all of the lots to the west of County 17
would pay a portion of Lake Drive' s construction costs - a con-
cept used in constructing Kerber Boulevard. In this instance, I
think the City will be able to rely on the developments in the
' third phase of the business park to carry out the construction of
this roadway.
Even though the overall development (Lake Susan Hills Partnership)
benefits from Lake Drive, you can be assured that individual pro-
perty owners purchasing lots adjacent to Lake Drive will protest
its construction. This fact will be true regardless of whether
they are asked to contribute to paying for the road or not - the
first scenario simply being more volatile than the second. To
insure that we have given these owners fair warning that Lake
Drive is in the City' s Comprehensive Plan and will be
constructed, this office would recommend that specific wordage
stating the City' s intent and, by their purchase of the lot,
their recognition and agreement that Lake Drive will and can be
built.
' WETLAND ALTERATION PERMIT
As part of the PUD concept plan approval, the wetland located
within the 3rd addition was determined to be a Class B wetland
' which could be altered to provide a retention basin for storm-
water runoff from the site. Page 3 of the preliminary plat shows
the edge of the existing wetland. The applicant must change the
' edge of the wetland to allow the lots (Lot 9 ) to maintain the 75
foot setback. The grading plan does not show any changes to the
wetland. The applicant will be providing an amended wetland
alteration plan. Therefore, staff is recommending the wetland
alteration permit be tabled until an amended plan is provided to
city staff.
' RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the
11 following motion:
"The Planning Commission recommends tabling Wetland Alteration
Permit #89-4 subject to an amended plan being submitted to city
staff for review. "
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission recommended tabling of the wetland
alteration permit as recommended by staff due to inadequate
information.

and Sediment Control Handbook and Technical Field Guide. If the city council determ;
that the required calculations in a particular instance are needlessly burdensome because of
the area and nature of a proposal, it may agree to a substitute analysis.
(Ord. No. 80, Art. V, § 24(5-24-8), 12-15-86)
Sec. 20-437. Filling.
A minimum amount of filling will be allowed when necessary for the use of property, but
Ionly when it will not have a net adverse effect upon the ecological and hydrological character-
istics of the wetland. In determining whether a proposed development will have a net adverse
effect on the ecological and hydrological characteristics of the wetland, the council shall
consider, but not limit its consideration to, the following factors: I
(1) Any filling shall not cause total natural flood storage capacity of the wetland to fall
below, or fall below further, the projected volume of run-off from the watershed I
generated by a 5.9-inch rainfall in twenty-four(24) hours. Since the total amount of
filling which can be permitted is limited,apportionment of fill opportunities for other
properties abutting the wetland shall be considered. I
r- (2) Any filling shall not cause total natural nutrient stripping capacity of the wetland to
k.....
be diminished to an extent that is deterimental to any area river, lake or stream.
(3) Only fill free of chemical pollutants and organic wastes may be used. I
(4) Filling shall be carried out so as to minimize the impact on vegetation.
(5) Filling in wetland areas will not be permitted during waterfowl breeding season I
fish spawning season, unless it is determined by the city that the wetland is not used
for waterfowl breeding or fish spawning. I

Dredging will be allowed only when it will not have a net adverse effect on the ecological
and hyrological characteristics of the wetlands. Dredging, when allowed, shall be limited as
follows:
(1) It shall be located as to minimize the impact on vegetation.
(2) It shall not adversely change water flow. I
(3) The size of the dredged area shall be limited to the minimum required for the
proposed action. I

' (a) A minimum increase in volume of stormwater runoff to a wetland from a development
over the natural volume of runoff may be allowed when necessary for use of property but only
' when it will not have a net adverse effect upon the ecological and hydrological characteristics
of the wetlands. In no case shall the restrictions on runoff set out below be exceeded. Since the
total increase in runoff which can be permitted is limited, the council when considering
' permit applications shall consider, in addition to the following, apportionment of increased
runoff opportunity to all wetland property within the surrounding wetland area.
' (b) Stormwater runoff from a development may be directed to the wetland only when free
of debris and substantially free of chemical pollutants and silt, and only at rates which do not
disturb vegetation or increase turbidity. Sheet flow and other overland drainage of runoff
' shall be encouraged.
(c) The proposed action shall not cause stormwater runoff on the wetlands to take place at
' a rate which would materially exceed the natural rate.
(d) The allowed total increased runoff, in combination with the total fill allowed,shall not
cause total natural flood storage capacity of the wetland to fall below, or fall below further,
' the projected volume of runoff in the whole developed wetland watershed generated by a
5.9-inch rainfall in twenty-four(24) hours.
(e) The allowed total increase in runoff, in combination with the total fill allowed, shall
not cause total natural nutrient stripping capacity of the wetland to fall below, or fall below
further, the projected nutrient production from the whole developed wetland watershed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jo Ann Olsen, Asst. City Planner
FROM: Gary Warren, City Engineer
DATE: May 31 , 1989
SUBJ: Preliminary Plat and Site Plan Review '
Lake Susan Hills West 3rd Addition
File No. 89-2 Land Use Review
Location
The site is located on the east side of Audubon Road approxi- '
mately three-quarters of a mile south of Trunk Highway 5 . This
36-acre site is comprised of rolling farmland.
II
Sanitary Sewer
Municipal sanitary sewer service is available to the site on the
east from Phase I construction. These existing sewer mains were
sized and installed to service the anticipated development for
the subject parcel . '
The sewer line in Heron Drive is planned to serve a larger area
along Audubon Road north of Heron Drive. Therefore, the sanitary
sewer line on Heron Drive needs to be lowered from the first cul-
de-sac
east of Audubon Road by using a minimum grade of 0 . 40% for
an 8-inch pipe along its entire length to Audubon Road. The pro-
posed plans show that the east two-thirds of Heron Drive meet
this requirement.
At the intersection of Audubon Road and Heron Drive the sanitary
sewer line shall be jack-bored under Audubon Road to the west
right-of-way line of Audubon road for accessibility for future
sewer connection .
Watermain
Municipal water is available to the site from Phase I
construction.
11 Jo Ann Olsen
May 31 , 1989
' Page 2
With this addition there will be approximately 7 , 000 lineal feet
of dead-end 10-inch watermain construction. In 1990 , the City is
hoping to upgrade Audubon Road from the railroad tracks south to
Lyman Boulevard. In the event that this roadway improvement does
' not occur, the City should, as a minimum, proceed with a public
utility improvement project for installation of a 12-inch water-
main along Audubon Road for looping of the watermain system from
the railroad tracks to Heron Drive.
In the interim, the applicant for this development will need to
verify and document sizing for the watermain with submittal of
' the plans and specifications .
Public Street
' The applicant has provided a 50-foot right-of-way for all
streets . Heron Drive should have a 60-foot right-of-way with a
32-foot wide street; all cul-de-sacs will have 28-foot wide
' streets with a 50-foot right-of-way. The access onto Audubon
Road will require a right turn lane to meet the anticipated traf-
fic demand for this type of development.
' Grading and Drainage
It appears that the majority of the site will experience shaping
' and/or grading to create the building pads.
All street grades conform to the maximum and minimum grade
' requirements of the City for site construction .
The storm sewer system needs to be modified to prevent conflicts
' with park improvements as shown in the PUD report.
The storm sewer network is proposed to drain the site. This
should be directed to the on-site wetland ponding area. The pond
I needs to be sized to hold surface runoff and provide adequate
storage for a 100-year storm event and have a controlled outlet
to maintain the predeveloped runoff rate for the area. Details
will be required with the plans and specifications submittal .
The pond should be shaped to conform to the DNR wetland require-
ments for fish and wildlife.
,
Erosion Control
I The plans should show the site wrapped with erosion control
fencing in accordance with the City' s Type III standard.
' All side slopes greater than 3:1 shall be stabilized using ero-
sion control blankets . Vegetative cover shall be established in
accordance with the conditions of the Watershed District permit.

' DATE: March 28 , 1989
SUBJ: Park and Recreation Commission Action on Lake Susan Hills
West Site Plan Review
The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the site plan for
' Lake Susan Hills West Third Addition at their last meeting. The
Commissioners ' action was based on the PUD agreement with the Lake
Susan Hills West developer. It is the recommendation of the Park
and Recreation Commission to request the dedication of Outlots A
and B for park purposes and to require the grading of those
outlots at the same time streets are installed in accordance with
grading plans provided by the City. Additionally, the Commission
' recommends to require the installation of 5 ft. wide concrete
sidewalks along the through streets within the development; 8 ft.
wide bituminous trails along the east side of Powers Blvd. and
' the east side of Audubo Road; and a 20 ft. wide trail easement
along the west side of i-r- er- Blvd. , as outlined in Sections 4
and 5 of the PUD contract dated November 16 , 1987. Additionally,
it was recommended that the developer receive 50% credit on park
dedication fees and 100% credit on trail dedication fees .
Attached please find the Park and Recreation Commission minutes .
' • ty Council Meeting - Ma 3, 1989 \\O II
There's a lot of different things. My first suggestion is that in the_RSF, R-4
district that buildings should not exceed 80% of the size of the primary
structure. I don't know if 80% is a good number or not. That's still pretty
big, and not to exceed a total of 1,000 square feet. I would take (a) and drop
it back to 140 square feet or a minimum setback of 5 feet. Then I'd say for a
house between 140 square feet and 400 square feet, have a 10 foot setback and
anything bigger than 400 square feet which is 20 foot by 20 foot, go to the
regular 30 foot setback. So theoretically your house can be 30 feet from your
back property line so you've only got a 30 foot backyard and somebody can then _
build a huge storage building just 40 foot away from you. Those are my
II
suggestions for that. Then we add that (c) there.
Mayor. Chmiel: Yes, I agree. I think we should pull this at this particular
time. My reasoning is that I would like to have this as a regular agenda item II
and open this for discussion because I'd like more input from the people in the
community if they have any.
Councilman Johnson: I don't think there was much input at the public hearing '
that was held. I do remember being there.
Mayor Chmiel: Yep. I was there also. I just want people to be aware of the II
fact that this is there and I want to make sure.
Councilman Johnson: A neighbor of ours built a large barnli.ke structure in 1
their backyard. They've got the 12,000 square foot lot and they actually put it
right on the property line right next to the guy's garden so his garden became a
shaded area. They spent a long time getting that garden going and they built - M
this structure right next to it so that's what I'm trying to prevent. Stuff
like that. I move to table it then.
Mayor Chmiel: Very good. I'll second that.
II
Councilman Johnson moved, Mayor Chmiel seconded to table the first reading of an I
Ordinance Amending the Zoning Ordinance regarding Accessory Structures. All
voted in favor and the motion carried.
D. PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL TO SUBDIVIDE 13.49 . II
ACRES INTO 9 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS,
EAST SIDE OF PG ERS BLVD. APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 5, LAKE SUSAN
HILLS WEST, ARGUS DEVELOPMENT. II
Councilman -Johnson: I actually didn' t have a whole lot of problems with the
preliminary plat itself but I've got a problem with the pond that with the ice
II
melt they had a pond get destroyed, a sediment pond and it's been what, a month
now and it hasn't been repaired and now we've got sediment running into Lake
Susan because there has been no repair. I don't see why we should continue.
This should have been repaired immediately. Do you know what the status of that I/
is Gary?
Gary Warren: We followed up and had contact with the developer, Argus I
Development and their engineer. They've changed engineers in the process of
going from the Second to Third Addition so I don't know i.f that slowed them up
but we've been in contact with them over 2 weeks ago to address it. You're

I Councilman Johnson: Yes, there's nice light brown water flowing out of there
tonight.
Mayor Chmiel: Have we received revised landscape plans on this as well as did
we also receive the Watershed and Carver County permit for this Gary?
II Jo Ann Olsen: We did receive the revised landscaping plan. Carver_ County, no
they have not received for the temporary access? They have not received that.
We have been in contact with them and they feel there will be no problem with
taking it. I don't even know if they've made the application yet.
II Mayor Chmi.el: But you've had discussions
with the County regarding this and
they don't have any problems? The pond to be repaired, that should also be part
Iof that basic approval. Jay are you going to make a motion on this? -
Councilman Johnson: Okay. I thought Ursula wanted to talk.
ICouncilwoman Dimler: I had something other than that. My point with it. I was
under the impression that we had a minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet. Is
that right Jo Ann?
IJo Ann Olsen: This is a PUD and so they were rmi.tted
1� smaller lot sizes.
Ii Councilwoman Dimler: Okay because I noticed there were quite a few of them that
i___ were smaller. Also, do we have a minimum width at the setback that the lot h
to be? has
IIJo Ann Olsen: It's 90 feet at the setback.
Councilwoman Dialler: It's 90 feet wide at the setback. Okay, do they all meet
Ithat requirement?
Jo Ann Olsen: Yes.
ICouncilwoman Dimler: Okay, thank you. That's all I wanted to know.
Councilman Johnson: I'll move approval of item 1(d) with the staff's 10
I conditions. Adding a condition 11 that the sedimentation basin along CR 17 be
repaired as soon as it dries out enough to repair it. You can't get in there
and work on it now but in a timely fashion.
IICouncilman Workman: I'll second it.
ICouncilman Johnson moved, Councilman Workman seconded to approve the
Preliminary Plat to subdivide 13.49 acres into 9 single family lots on the east
liside of Powers Blvd. approximately 1 mile south of Highway 5, Lake Susan Hilts
IF West, Argue Development with the 10 conditions listed b

Conrad : So the City got the boat launch is what it got out of this land .
The neighbors didn' t want the boat launch but it got something .
Emmings moved, Batzli seconded to close the public hearing . All voted in
Ifavor and the motion carried . The public hearing was closed .
il Emmings : My only question is why there ' s a condition on this . What
happens to the land, don' t we want to amend the Comprehensive Plan anyway?
Olsen : The only reason I can think that it wasn ' t done originally was that
II in case they did come back and go through the amendment and then use it as
single family or low density.
I Emmings : Right now we know that this piece is going to be some form of
higher density. We' re not going to give them low density on this so why
wouldn' t we amend our plan anyway?
IIBatzli : They could come back in and redo their PUD if they decided not to
build the townhomes there.
II Olsen : That ' s the only reason I put that condition is just to , it ' s not
that necessary of a condition. We know that they' re going to go through
but once they do plat it into those 14 individual lots , townhome lots , then
k. we know that it is going to pretty much go through.
Emmings : It' s not worth anymore . I ' ll go along with it . I don ' t feel
strongly about it.
IBatzli : Well he asked by question so it ' s okay.
I Headla: I asked the question before on the previous thing and I lost so
I ' ll go along with this one.
IConrad: I have no comments .

Public Present :
Don Patton, Applicant
Ray Brandt, Applicant
Jo Ann Olsen presented the staff report.
Conrad : Jo Ann, you mentioned that there would be grading of Outlot A but II
I don' t see that in the recommendations. Is that bundled in someplace?
Olsen : That should have been under the park.
Don Patton: I think it' s on the PUD concept.
Olsen : It ' s already in the contract that they have to do that . We could
add that though.
Conrad : Whatever you think.
Olsen : It is on number 1. I 'm sorry, I 'm reading the Park and Rec one ' s.
Yes, we should probably add that to be consistent because I 've added. . .
Chairman Conrad called the public hearing to order .
Ray Brandt: I 'm Ray Brandt. I don' t know how I did this. The right-of- II way for Heron Blvd . is platted 60 feet wide and way back 2-3 months ago
when I was putting in the dimensions, I put in 25 feet. . . One of my
earlier preliminary plats I erased it but I didn' t erase it on my computer
so it' s drafted at 60 feet so the lot areas and that are correct. Then
that one lot that I have 12, 900 and some, that ' s just an oversight also . I
don' t think there were any others. Oh yes , I guess what I was thinking on
that wetland , what we' re going to do is encroach , our setback is going to
encroach but now that I read the report I ' ve got to put a ponding area in
there so that will have to come back and change that .
Conrad: Okay. Any other comments?
Batzli moved , Erhart seconded to close the public hearing . All voted in
favor and the motion carried. The public hearing was closed.
Headla : I 'm glad to see them putting in hackberry. I don ' t know if you '
read the Minnesota Volunteer but they talk about the pine bark beetle that
hit Woodbury last year . Part of their conifers are taking quite a beating .
Stay away from all conifers. Use deciduous and I 'm very glad to see you do
that. Will you explain to me again the rationale for a 90 foot frontage
that we just insist that all the builders have?
Olsen : With the PUD you can go down to 80 feet and that ' s one of the
( benefits of the PUD. Why we have 90 feet though?
•
Planning Commission Meeting
June 7, 1989 - Page 15
I
IrHeadla : We' re so unforgiveable with that 90 feet with all our builders and
now we come in and there are several 80 feet. This doesn ' t seem to be
consistent at all .
I Olsen : That was one of the benefits of a PUD. Smaller lot sizes.
Narrower lots .
I Headla : Aren ' t you saying that' s the way it is period if that ' s the case .
I take a look at a 90 foot frontage as not being a rigid rule but certainly
can be negotiated in the future. It ' s hard to believe that it' s got to be
this for one place and another place, ah, we can lose 10 feet. It won' t
I
make any difference .
Conrad : Well we do have a minimum.
Headla : It' s 90 feet but they allowed 80 feet here.
IBatzli : That's in a PUD.
Headla : But it' s still in a development. You' ve got homes here , you 've
got homes here, what' s the difference? I 'm not going to be that hard nosed
I on 90 feet when I can see it used so often here and I 'm not saying 90 is
the magic number over 80. I 'm looking at more consistency in our reasoning
as we say yea or nay on more people in the future. ..
Ilt, Batzli : Isn ' t that just part of the whole PUD plan though that we' re
getting something in return so we' re being more flexible.
IConrad: Is there a minimum Jo Ann for our frontage?
Olsen : In a PUD?
IConrad : Yes .
IOlsen : It ' s 80.
Conrad : It is 80. So normally without a PUD, what' s the minimum?
II Olsen: 90.
Erhart : But remember if it ' s not PUD , in RSF it' s 15 , 000 square foot
Iminimum. In a PUD, it' s 12, 500 square foot minimum.
Headla : That part I can buy. I think there ' s some pretty good rationale
I for that because they compensate in other areas but when I see so many 80
foot wides , I don ' t think that our 90 foot has that much substance to it .
It ' s a good guideline but to hold to it, I think we should look at it a
little bit different . That ' s over a 10o change. On recommendation 1, you
11 refer to having a minimum of 12, 000 square feet and provide block numbers .
What ' s a block number?
IOlsen : It ' s when you have Lots 1-3 , Block 1. Lots 1-10 , Block 2. It' s
just another little technicality.

Headla : Oh okay. That' s all I had .
Batzli : Dave got me thinking on this 80 feet . Lot 3, which is 2 to the
east from the lot that' s below 12,000 square feet. You see where I 'm at?
We have a frontage at 79. 96 . Not to be picky or something but.
Olsen: I was picky on the 11,900 so yes, that' s just, when the final plats II
come in, the lot lines always adjust a little bit and we check those .
Batzli : Just curious. I think this is an interesting plan in that we have
several lots which are enormous compared to lots on the southern end here. 11
I 'd be personally kind of interested in, and I don't know that I was really
here for the entire PUD concept plan for this . I 'd be really interested to
know why we have several lots that are so big. '
Erhart : That ' s where that pond is going .
Batzli : All the way around there? ,
Erhart : That ' s a low area .
Olsen: It's wetland, yes .
Batzli : So that ' s going to be back, well we don ' t have block numbers , 1. II
okay. One other just idle curiousity note here before I get to my one real
question. Is this 20 foot strip out to Outlot A from Heron Drive, did I
miss something? Why is that in there?
Olsen : That ' s access to the park.
Batzli : Is that down into the park or is that going to be. . . 1
Olsen : It will be part of the outlot . I believe dedicated to the City
isn' t it?
Batzli : Is the outlot dedicated to the City? Is the City going to be
maintaining that?
Conrad : Was that your real question?
Batzli : No. This is my real question. In item 11, the right hand turn,
will that affect any lot sizes over in that corner? Are you going to be
moving the road over actually?
Ray Brandt: It ' s all within the right-of-way. '
Batzli : It' s all going to be in the right-of-way? Okay. That was my only
real question .
Emmings : I have a couple of questions . I don ' t know if they' re real or
not but I ' ll ask them anyway. Over on the left hand edge of this thing ,
there ' s Lots 4, 5 and 6 on that one cul-de-sac that looks like they' re
I

I
1(7 double frontage . They front on Audubon and that street . Do they?
Ray Brandt: Are they double frontage?
IEmmings : Yes .
Ray Brandt : Yes . Actually 7 is too . They really front both ways but I
Iwould imagine that there won' t be any access on Audubon.
Emmings : I assume that' s what you' re doing there but I know that in the
I past when we've had this situation, just to make it crystal clear , I don' t
think that the County would let you do it anyway.
Olsen: It' s a city road .
IEmmings : It ' s a city road , but I think maybe we ought to just put that
down that all access for those lots will be on the interior streets.
I That' s what you plan to do anyway but just so it ' s spelled out. Then the
other thing I have on those double frontage lots is I have a recollection
and I 've been feverishly searching through the ordinance here and maybe
it's not in there or I just couldn ' t find it but it seems to me that we
Ialways do some things with. . .
Olsen: You always have to have an additional depth .
Emmings : Where is that in the ordinance?
Olsen: In this new codified ordinance, I can' t find it .
I
Emmings : Yes , I couldn ' t find it but there are things that apply to double
frontage lots and I don' t know if these double frontage lots were evaluated
Iin terms of whatever those provisions are .
Erhart: There' s an extra 10 foot setback .
IOlsen : Yes , and they definitely have the depth. There ' s also additional
landscaping. I can ' t remember right off hand where exactly it is but I
know when we were looking at the PUD concept , we were looking at the
Iadditional depth for that.
Emmings : I guess I ' d just ask that between now and the City Council that
I that be checked just to make sure that all of the provisions are being met
and if there ' s any problem, that it be brought up to the City Council .
Then the only other thing I wonder about is , right now there' s nothing
Ideveloped to the south of this property correct? Yes , that ' s correct?
Olsen: Yes, there ' s nothing .
IEmmings : And how about to the east? Is that the first subdivision?
lirOlsen: First phase.

Emmings : And how are these lots on the east edge matching up with lots
that have already been platted to the east?
Olsen : They' ve all been consistent with the concept plan .
Emmings: That's all I ' ve got .
Erhart : Jo Ann , why do we request a developer to pave sidewalks but yet
not the trails? What' s the thinking behind that?
Olsen : The trail easement?
Erhart: Yes .
Olsen : I 'm not exactly sure if that was a condition between the Park and
Rec and the PUD contract . Maybe Don can fill you in on exactly why?
Erhart: I was just wondering what the rationale was?
Olsen : I think it' s along Powers it' s going to be improved and it depends
on when all of the improvements for the road will take place. The
developer might not. . . ,
Erhart : Powers , what 4 lane all the way? When?
Olsen: In the next 2 years. 4 years. They' re planning on it now. ' I
Erhart : That ' s right . Going down to the railroad bridge it is 4 lane and
it looks like it' s a temporary jog there. Okay. The thing I might suggest
when you' re doing a wetland thing , in order to react to Brian ' s concern
about those large lots , they' re putting a conservation easement on a
significant portion of those lots so we should try to keep them wild if you I
think that fits. After studying that in detail , if you think that fits .
Olsen : We usually put a conservation easement along the 75 foot setback. ,
Erhart: In that sense making it a pseudo public area because it' s a lot
of. . .maybe you could help me Dave but what ' s wrong with pin oaks?
Headla: I looked at that and couldn' t figure out why they changed?
Olsen : The DNR forester said the pin oaks grow real fast and get brittle .
They' re fast and the mature tree really sooner but it wasn ' t as long .
lasting .
Erhart : I don ' t know why they don' t just use red oaks instead of pin oaks . II
The PUD ordinance requires , is the 1 tree per lot on just the PUD ordinance
or is that in. . .
Olsen : That ' s in all our ordinance .
Erhart: That's in all our ordinances?
, .
Planning Commission Meeting
June 7 , 1989 - Page 19
Olsen : It ' s always a condition of any development contract .
IErhart: On Audubon Road there where we have those nice evergreens that
we' re putting in , is that going to be also bermed or is that just going to
Ibe level with existing?
Olsen : It showed a grading plan. Again , Audubon Road, there' s some
I improvements being made to that too. There are plans to continue that all
the way down to Lyman .
Erhart: Yes, I 'm aware of that one.
IOlsen : The grading plan , it shows slight berming .
I Erhart: I think that' s real valuable to take a double fronted lot like
that when the rear abuts up to a major street or arterial like that , or a
collector, to put a berm in addition to the trees but I guess I 'd ask that
I you consider that in the final plan of this thing because it does , it
really provides some immediate screening but it also provides somewhat of a
barrier for kids running in the back yard and running out onto the street.
I Ray Bradt: The street, Audubon Drive, the existing elevation is at it' s
lowest point is 946. That' s about 12 feet higher than the backs of the
lots.
Erhart : So I see a berm would really be useless . Okay. I think that ' s
all I had on my list.
IConrad : Okay, good comments Tim. I was not an advocate of this as a PUD
and I still am not. I do have problems with lot configurations as certain
lots back into the sides of other lots . I just find that that forces
Ifences and is not good planning. I have no other comments .
Headla : Can I make a couple more?
Conrad: Sure .
Headla : I 've got one real comment . On number 10, the sanitary sewer shall
I be jack-bored to the west right-of-way. I know what jack-bored is. Is it
appropriate in this type of situation that we require it? My real concern
is this is appropriate in this type of condition, that ' s all .
IOlsen : I 'm sure the engineers have reviewed that and that ' s what they
determined .
IHeadla : Well it was in their comments but does it fit in here? To me
that' s a question if that' s appropriate. The other one I have is that
these dedication fees . Where do they go? I ' ve never seen any of that
Imoney spent west of CR 117 or south of CR 18.
Olsen : That ' s not Chanhassen .
I- Conrad: It ' s not supposed to. That ' s the law.

Headla : Let' s change that to eastern Chanhassen? I had to get that shot
in.
Batzli : Jo Ann, just following up on Dave' s point, they' re going to start
a watermain down along Audubon Road there right?
Olsen : Right . '
Batzli : And also the sanitary sewer down there as well so what they' re
doing is basically putting it over there for if and when they do start that
project?
Olsen : Which project? The Lake Susan?
Batzli : No, aren' t they going to make some improvements? Utility
improvements down Audubon Road there?
Olsen: Correct . '
Batzli : So you ' re just asking them to jack-bore it for when the
improvements are put in that it will have already been done?
Olsen : Yes . To loop everything .
Emmings : I found one thing on double frontage lots . There ' s a provision I
under Section 20-908 that says the required frontyard has to be provided on
both streets .
Olsen : That ' s not it . There ' s another one .
Emmings: There may well be but I found one and I ' ll just bring that to
your attention.
Olsen: I know the other one too but just where it is in this new one I 'm
not sure.
Batzli : I 'm sorry, did you say the frontage has to be provided on both
sides? '
Emmings : No, required front yard .
Olsen: Two front yards and two side yards . - ,
Emmings : Yes instead of, you don ' t have a back yard on a double frontage
lot so you have two front yards .
Batzli : So is that just for setback purposes then?
Olsen: Yes and what can be placed in it and stuff like that .
Conrad : Anything else? Is there a motion?
