ISUBJ: Preliminary Plat Approval and Site Plan Review of Final
Facia, Signage, Exterior Building Lighting and Revised
Sidewalk and Parking Layout Configuration for
Chanhassen Professional Building
I
The Planning Commission at its April 19 , 1989 meeting approved
I the preliminary plat for the north side parking lot subject to
the plans stamped "Received April 14 , 1989" .
I Regarding the site plan approval, the Planning Commission recom-
mended approval of the revised site plan and final facia, signage
and exterior lighting based on plans stamped "Received April 14,
1989" subject to the following conditions :
I1 . No business may have more than one wall sign.
I2 . No unpainted aluminum shall be allowed on the exterior.
3 . Traffic engineering should review sidewalk location on the
east portion of the parking lot for safety with the possibi-
lity of realigning the sidewalk and adding stop signs.
4 . Review the west entrance of access to the north parking lot.
IThis motion was approved on a 4 to 3 vote.
I The Planning Commission discussion on the site plan centered on
three issues . The first of those was the sidewalk extending from
Heritage Park Apartments across the parking lot in the direction
of the clock tower. Generally, the Commission felt that addi-
1 tional signage or definition of this pedestrian crossing through
the parking area should be added. Concern is that small children
using the crosswalk would not be visible due to cars parked on
I either side of the crosswalk. They requested that this be looked
at closer by traffic engineering. Therefore, I have contacted
BRW and requested that they be in attendance at the Council
1 meeting on May 22 , 1989 to address this particular issue.

The second item of concern deals with the entrance and the ,
adjusted parking configuration by the Riviera. There was a pre-
ference expressed for the access as it comes in to allow a right
turn into the first bay of parking along the professional
building rather than having to go all the way to the back of the
parking lot to get into that parking. The adjusted configuration
was arrived at after meeting with the Kruegers, owners of the
Riviera. A copy of a memo from Fred Hoisington summarizing this
meeting is attached to this memorandum ( Attachment #6) . It
should be noted that this particular adjustment to the parking is
in Phase II and the approval at this time would be for the
parking configuration for Phase I.
The third issue that was raised by Commissioner Batzli was the
same concern he had raised when this item was before the Planning
Commission previously. That issue is the need for the access
west of Great Plains Boulevard on West 78th Street. His feelings
are that this access should be closed and that allowing it to
remain in this vicinity only complicates the traffic flow at the
intersection by the clock tower.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the preliminary
plat for the north side parking lot based on plans stamped
"Received April 14 , 1989" . Further, staff recommends that the
City Council approve the revised site plan and final facia,
signage and exterior lighting based on plans stamped "Received
April 14 , 1989" subject to the conditions of the Planning
Commission.

Isomething like this as a possible PUD? Anything that would make you think
that yes , that' s a PUD?
IBatzli : I think if they were to. . . Lot 14 and get some more open area that
way and decrease the density a little. . . I think parking ' s a problem. I
like that they are actually saving all the trees even though it' s on a
Islope. . .
Ellson: I can picture it. . .
IConrad : Steve, can you get into a situation where you would pass this?
Emmings : Yes .
IConrad : And those are. . .what you discussed?
Emmings: Yes they are.
IConrad : . . .you don ' t think the developer could never achieve?
IEmmings: I would like to see them move this project. . . If Lot 14 doesn ' t
have any development. If we lower some density. I don ' t know what can be
moved . . . The only thing that still sticks a little bit with me is the
Isize of the apartment building . I 'm not sure you can put that big of an
apartment building on there and still satisfy the. . . I think I could be
convinced .
IConrad : I guess you ' ve heard that we haven ' t' r_uled the PUD out . There
are some amenities to the property that I think you could persuade me on .
The numbers in certain cases look really great to me . I could go with a
IPUD. Therefore, I guess what we' re saying, the consensus would be, other
than Dave.
IHeadla : I 'd like to see the portion. . .
Conrad: I think that means we should table it and see if city staff can
muddle through some of the comments that we made. Work with you and see
Iif you can come back with us with a revised site plan. Another concept
plan that might encourage us .
IBatzli moved , Wildermuth seconded that the Planning Commission table
action on PUD #89-1 Concept and Development Plan for Oak View Heights so
they can work with city staff . All voted in favor and the motion carried .

Planning Commission Meeting
April 19, 1989 - Page 21
Chairman Conrad called the public hearing to order .
Brad Johnson: I want to just say a couple comments then Arvid Elness is
here from Arvid Elness and Company. This will be the first, I don' t know
if you guys have seen the color rendering. This is the apartment building
in the back and that' s the. . .we' re proposing on this part right here.
Then Phase 2. . . At the request of the City we dropped Phase 3 here as
part of our program. . . That gives you an idea . I ' ve asked Arvid to
address, the signage issue I guess I want to talk about too. The signs
are kind of. . . We need the signs permitted by the ordinance. . . It' s back
lit. It's that ban, what do you call it. If you look at something like
Gelco. That sign. That kind of sign that we' ve got a dark opaque feeling
and the letters are cut into that opaque. Arvid can address facia. . .
Arvid Elness : I ' ll just make a couple points . This is the soffit plan.
Two things that were addressed here. . . We did a number of studies and I
guess our feeling architecturally had to do . . .one is a matter of . . . The
second is the fact that these elements are standing out in front of this
building and I feel personally that they shouldn' t be distinguished as a
feature or element that is different than the main building. I think it
will look like a simple building with some large brick high risers here
standing and the facade standing out in front of it with a change of
naterial . I notice the material used on that free standing element that
'- stand out in front of it will characterize the theme of what should have
proper materials and should feel like they' re integrated in the design so
our thinking is to take the same materials that we' re using . . .so this
element here looks like a part of this building and not distinguish it as
something different. In doing that, the materials of the main building
are like lap siding . They' re cedar lap siding and cedar shakes on the
upper part and then our color ban that will wrap around the building. So
in doing that we just brought those materials forward and put them on the
front here. . .because this is really a free standing sort of spacial form
out in front and it creates a shadow. Creates some interest and also
gives us the opportunity to put some identification on there. Brad asked
what the signage said. . .we' re talking about . We did some studies as to
ways we could do it on a professional type building and I think the. . .was
that it was because part of the design of the building integrated and was
well controlled. . .color ban of the building or could be used to introduce
some backing . Then it sort of looked like part of the archtectural . . . So
it's sort of designed and integrated into the building and to have. . .as
opposed to a more commercial type brackets of signage where there ' s a
certain amount of freedom through the signage to create an identity and
mark. . .so I think we ' re comfortable that with the bannage system that goes
above the entry at eye level . . . The problem with the drawings was that we
submitted Friday without identifying what we had agreed to as the quantity
of the potential site . . . So the two issues I have I guess are the choice
of materials on the exterior of the building and I think that ' s in
character with what I 'm seeing in Chanhassen at this point and what ' s
._ .zappeni.ng around town . These are materials that are very common place. . .
Brad Johnson: What about the lighting?
s
II
Planning Commission Meeting
IApril 19, 1989 - Page 22
IArvid Elness : Then the City has some lighting plans that we looked at for
our standard ones that were going on the street. . . The lighting for the
parking is taken care of on the plan . What we tried to do beyond that is
I because this element which stands out in front of the main building has
sort of a void, a space between it ' s. . .we put standard lights on the back
side of these high risers that stand out here so at night each one of
Ithese main areas will be lit indirectly to the back side so they' ll glow
with it' s own light. Then the city standards out there with the light. . .
So we' ll do some architectural lighting as we call it in these areas and
every place they refer around the building. We' ll probably put some light
Iin the cupola on the roof up here . . . Those are the lighting ideas that we
have. Signage I 've explained. The sign ban. . .
' Conrad : Anything else?
IEmmi.ngs moved , Ellson second to close the public hearing . All voted in
favor and the motion carried. The public hearing was closed .
Headla : I have no problems with the signage. . . . The sidewalk there . I
Iforesee that to be a . . . That' s the way I look at it. I 'm concerned about
the skateboards coming down there, whatever . Are we putting up traffic
signs or parking signs?
te
I'- Hanson : No . We ' re not proposing to put speed limit signs .
Conrad: I think everybody' s going to have the same kind of questions .
ISteve, maybe you can help us on this , or Brad . The last time this was in,
we were concerned where the sidewalk ran across the traffic . . . We talked
about speed bumps . We talked about signs . You eliminated the speed
Ibumps. You eliminated the signs and basically what you' ve done is painted
the walk so can you give us more rationale for that?
IHanson: I personally don ' t see that as a problem. . . look at from a traffic
standpoint and their recommendation was striping was more than adequate . . .
Speed in the parking lot is not that bad and we should be able to. . .
bringing those islands out and creating parking stalls lets you know
Ithere' s something happening there and we can put in pedestrian crossing
signs . In my opinion , that ' s what we can do and that ' s. . .
IConrad: Are they going to, the pedestrian traffic, are they going to go
through this or are they going to go around? Are there other sidewalks
that they' re going to use?
IHanson : I think some of the traffic will go around that way. The other
question, if somebody' s walking , why are they walking in there? I can see
them walking . . . Kenny' s Market to buy groceries and then carry them back. . .
IHeadla : I 'm not concerned about people carrying groceries. I 'm concerned
about young people on skateboards and bicycles . If you ' ve ever had an
Ioffice by a window on the second or third story or higher. above a parking
r_lot . Haveyou ever noticed those speeders in the parking lot? It ' s
atrocious the way they can speed. I ' ve been hit in a parking lot . . . It

happens. All the rationale says it shouldn' t, there are speeders . . . I I
simply can not believe. . . I want to see something to make that sidewalk
safer .
Wildermuth: I had a problem with the sidewalk. . .
Batzli : Did I miss something or isn' t the lighting of the building going
to be. . .?
Brad Johnson : It' s all provided by the City as part of the parking lot so
it's part of your site plan.
Hanson : The other lighting was what the architect had mentioned . . .
Brad Johnson: I don' t have a lighting plan because the lighting plan is
the parking lot plan that BRW put out .
Batzli : The access here, the left area. . .access east . . . That' s the one I
talked about last time. . .
Ellson : I don ' t like the . . .parking . . .juts around . I agree with Dave. I
think the thing that bugs me most about all this is, we naturally
thi.nk. . . then it stops and then you' ve got this distance open but this goes
right through and there are parking places on this side and parking places
On this side and there' s a sidewalk in the middle. Normally a person on
the sidewalk is hidden behind two cars until they get out in there and
I . . . and I don ' t like that . I think there should be speed bumps , stop
signs . . .
Emmings: I have the same reservation . I essentially feel that . . . I
don' t have any problem with anything except the sidewalk directing
traffic . . . What Dave says about kids on skateboards and little kids
walking, they can walk out between two parked cars. If they' re 3 1/2 feet
or shorter , the driver doesn ' t have a chance to see them and they don ' t
have a chance to see the car . You' re creating a situation where I think
it ' s. . .driving down streets , you' re always thinking about kids coming out
between cars. It ' s happened to me. I didn ' t hit them but other people
have and we' re creating that situation. I think maybe widening it out .
Eliminate some of the parking spaces on each side of that sidewalk. . .sight
lines , that would help. Having a painted crosswalk I think would be , I
think that' s what we asked before. To me that' s essential . I 'd put stop
signs there . . . . stop at that sidewalk at least until I was absolutely
satisfied through it's use that the traffic on the sidewalk didn ' t warrant
stop signs . I 'd start with that and then make them prove that it wasn ' t
necessary. Then we'd just have. . .
Tim Erhart ' s discussion could not be heard on the tape .
Conrad: . . .yet from the apartment building standpoint, they' re going
`��o . . . It ' s probably going to be there . It ' s fairly straight . I 'd have
to go along with Steve. I think it may be a little bit of overkill but I
think it should have some kind of si.gnage . That ' s my only comments . I
like the lighting. I like the signage. Is there a motion? I guess we

The site plan for this area, which is the location of the
Chanhassen Professional Building was approved by the City Council
at the February 27, 1989, meeting. That approval was subject to
the following conditions :
1. Platting the area.
2 . Submittal of final facia, signage and exterior building '
lighting for Planning Commission approval prior to issuance
of building permits .
3 . Traffic engineering should review sidewalk location on the '
east portion of the parking lot for safety, with the possibi-
lity of realigning the sidewalk and adding stop signs or
speed bumps to maximize accessibility.
4 . Direct staff to have the consultants review the intersection
to see if there is any possible alternatives and if possible
have a modified alternative by March 13th.
Since that time the plat has been prepared for the property. The
plat creates two building sites around West 78th Street and
outlots generally to the rear of those two buildable lots for the
parking areas that will serve these buildings.
The site plan has been amended to modify the location on the pro-
perty on the west end near the Riviera. These amendments were
done in order to improve the parking situation for the Riviera
Restaurant. In addition, the sidewalk locations were evaluated
on the east end of the proposed Chanhassen Professional Building.
It was felt the best alternative was to align the sidewalk from
the apartment building in a generally direct alignment with the
clock tower. Then also a pedestrian link was made from that area
over to Colonial Center. In evaluating means for making the
pedestrian crossings through the parking area visible, it was '
determined the best solution was to put in large cross walk
painted areas lined up with landscaped features between parking
stalls . It was felt that the use of speed bumps in the parking
lot would not improve the situation for these cross access ways
and that stop signs would be inappropriate in these locations .
Pedestrian signs could be added to emphasize where the cross
walks are.
The City Council asked staff to evaluate the access at the inter-
section of West 78th Street and Great Plains Boulevard. In
looking at this, no other alternatives were identified other than
eliminating this particular access . This access was a negotiated
item with the property owners in the area as part of the overall
redevelopment of this entire area. The Engineering Department
has indicated this access, while not the most ideal situation, is
acceptable from an operational standpoint.

The applicants have sumitted facia, signage and exterior building
lighting for Planning Commission review. The applicants arepro-
posing one free standing identification sign of 20 square feet to
U be located at the southwest corner of the building in Phase I .
This sign will be 3 ' 6" in height. On the back side a free
standing directory sign is proposed to be 4 ' 6" high and 3 ' 6"
' across . On the face of the building back lit sign bands are pro-
posed over three of the entrances these are 36 square feet in
size. On the south elevation another sign band of the same size
is shown in the middle of the building. The signage proposed
' complies with the zoning requirements, provided that no occupant
may have more than one wall sign.
' The plans note only one light to be located in the patio area.
No other exterior lighting is proposed on the exterior of the
building. The other site lighting is part of the parking lot
' improvements being done by the city.
The proposed facia of the building is to be woodlap and
shakertown siding, with ornamental grille work and railings on
teh entrance features . The roof is to be asphalt shingles .
Previously the entrance features were goint to be brick. No
colors have been listed on the plans . The door and window
' materials are not noted. These should not be aluminum finish.

Subject: Medican Arts and North Side Site Plan Review
Date: 5-8-89
+;.. Based on the expressed concerns of the Planning Commission regarding the
'f..!Site Plan Modifications for the Riviera, it is important for me to explain the
Purposes for the modification.
First of all, Tom Krueger, the owner of the Riviera, expressed grave '
concerns about the original parking configuration. We met with him on
two different occasions to identify his concerns and thereafter modified
the plan to reflect something that he felt he could live with.
In addition to our interest in satisfying Mr. Krueger's needs, there are
other very important reasons why the Site Plan as Revised should be
approved. '
1. It detaches the isle nearest Phase II of the Medical Arts Complex further
from West 78th Street and essentially provides more stacking distance
and therefore less potential traffic impact on West 78th Street.
2. The "T" intersection as opposed to the "4-Way" intersection at the north
end of the Riviera entrance is considerably less complicated because it
will provide for many less turning movements. What this means is that
circulation. will function better than it would with the original 4-way
intersection.
3. The proposal as now drawn will put more traffic in the second isle north ,
of the Phase II Medical Arts Building which means that overall volumes
in the nearest isle will be reduced. This will reduce pedestrian/
vehicular conflicts by giving pedestrians less traffic to cross as they
approach the Medical Arts Building from the parking lot.
In addition to these modifications, we strongly recommend that the entry
to the west end of the Medical Arts Building be no more

than an emergency exit and that it not have a sidewalk leading to that
door. We also strongly recommend that at least the westerly one half of
Phase II not have any retail occupants and especially not a restaurant that
' would conflict in any way with the parking needs of the Riviera. We
would recommend that these conditions be attached to the approval of the
final site plan.
We have arrived at these recommendations with the help of Howard
Preston, Traffic Engineer for BRW. We both feel very strongly that the site
' plan revision will produce a better traffic result and at the same time
satisfy Torn Krueger'g needs and concerns'cerns' fo: adequate asking.

From: Fred Hoisington, Consultant
Subject: Meeting with Tom and Lou Krueger on 3-13-89
IDate: 3-15-89
Jim Lasher, Rich Thomasgard and I met with Tom and Lou Krueger and Jim '
presented an alternative plan to that which was the subject of the original - i
IPlan Review. The new plan provides approximately 8 additional ,parking spaces directly on what was the old Krueger property. It also
changed the circulation but Tom and Lou are most supportive of it and I
Ibelieve they went away with a very good feeling toward the City for
having resolved their problem.
II explained to them that the Site Plan would have to be amended and
resubmitted to the Planning Commission and City Council for approval. I
I told them that it would be on the April 5 Planning Commission Agenda and
that they should put that on their calendar so that they might attend. I
went then and explained to Steve Hanson that it should be on the April 5
IAgenda for a Site Plan Amendment.
Lou Krueger asked what the likely uses would be for Phase II of the -
' Medical Arts complex? She explained that they would have some concerns
over a restaurant occupying a portion of that building that might compete
Iwith them for available parking. I indicated that the kind of use proposed
was for general and professional office and additional clinic occupants. I
told Rich Thomasgard that it would be extremely important that we not
have competitive uses in the west wing of the Medical Arts complex.
In my later discussion with Steve Hanson, I suggested that we attach a
Icondition to Site Plan Approval which would preclude restaurants and
retail uses in at least the westerly half of Phase II of the complex. We
I agreed that a condition also should be included in the Development
Agreement for Phase II that would bind the developer to that condition.
I Generally speaking, the meeting went extremely well and the Kruegers
appeared to be satisfied with the results.
