Final Plat Approval- Bluff Creek Addition
PROPOSAL
Final plat approval for Bluff Creek Addition creating two lots, two outlots,
and right-of-way for Coulter Boulevard, Galpin Boulevard, and Highway 5 on
approximately 42 acres ofland. Approval of the plat is a formality since all
the improvements have been approved by the City of Chanhassen and
completed. However, since staff could find no record of final City Council
approval ofthe final plat, we believe that this item should be brought before
City Council for approval.
BACKGROUND
On April 12, 1993, the_Chanhassen City Councitapproved the purchase of the
42 acres for the elementary school site and recreation and open space land.
On January 5, 1994, the Planning Commission recommended site plan,
rezoning, and preliminary plat approval for the proposed school site.
On January 24, 1994, the Chanhassen City Council approved the preliminary
plat, wetland alteration permit and rezoning for Bluff Creek Elementary
School and Chanhassen Recreation Center.
On February 7,1994, the Chanhassen City Council approved the site plan for
the school.
On March 22, 1994, The Chanhassen City Council awarded the bid for the site
grading.
On April II , 1994, the Chanhassen City Council approved the purchase
agreement, joint powers agreement and lease agreement between the City of
Chanhassen and Independent School District 112.
On April 12, 1994, the school district closed on the purchase of the westerly
20 acres of the site. Since both resulting properties were 20 acres or larger,
the conveyance of the property did not require subdivision approval.
On June 29, 1994, the City of Chanhassen issued a foundation permit for
Bluff Creek Elementary School and Chanhassen Recreation Center. On
October 12, 1994, the City of Chanhassen issued a shell permit. On
December 13, 1994, the City of Chanhassen issued a finish permit for Bluff
Creek Elementary School and Chanhassen Recreation Center.
On February 15, 1995, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and
voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Bluff Creek Addition
subdivision.
On March 13, 1995, the item was scheduled for Chanhassen City Council
approval for the Final Plat for Bluff Creek Addition creating two lots, two
outlots, and right-of-way for Coulter Boulevard, Galpin Boulevard, and
Highway 5. However, staff was unable to find minutes of the proceeding.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Chanhassen City Council approve the following
motion:
"The Chanhassen City Council approves the final plat for Bluff Creek
Addition creating two lots, two outlots, and right-of-way for Coulter
Boulevard, Galpin Boulevard, and Highway 5. "

School Subdivision

PROPOSAL \sUMMARY
This is a joint request by Chaska School District #112 and the City of Chanhassen for approval
of a subdivision. The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of the site
plan, rezoning and preliminary subdivision for this project in January of 1994. The school
purchased the property through a metes and bounds subdivision consistent with city ordinances.
The new elementary school and city community center is currently under construction on this
parcel. The site plans and preliminary plat for the school were approved over a year ago,
however, the preliminary plat at that time was not fmalized due to the negotiations between the
School District and City on the building's configuration and the exact placement of the property
line. Since then, negotiations have been fmalized and the roadway alignments have also been
determined. Therefore, at this time, the platting of the parcel is actually a formality since the site
plan review process is actually completed on the school site. The School District and City are
the applicants and property owners of the parcel. The City will be retaining ownership of Lot
2, Block I and the outlots. The School District will retain ownership of Lot 1, Block 1.
BACKGROUND
On January 5, 1994, the Planning Commission recommended site plan, rezoning and preliminary
plat approval for the proposed elementary school. On January 24, 1994, the City Council
approved the rezoning and the plat for the school site. On February 7, the City Council approved
the site plan.
On March 22, 1994, the City Council awarded a bid for grading the site. The rough grading has
been completed for the most part. Interim storm drainage ponds have been constructed on the
site to accommodate storm runoff until the permanent downstream ponding facilities are created.
later in 1995 in concert with the McGlynn Drive Improvement Project. ·
On April 11, 1994, the City Council approved the School District Purchase Agreement, Joint
Powers Agreement, Lease Agreement and Plans Specifications.

Based on the construction drawings and the plat documents, the building and parking lots meet
the setback requirements for this type of land use. Utility service has been extended to the site
from Galpin Boulevard. The street (McGlynn Drive) will be constructed in the spring of 1995
for direct access to the site.

October 12, 1994, the City issued a shell permit. On December 13, 1994, the City issued a finish
permit for the building. Anticipated completion of the school/community center is July, 1995.

SUBDMSION
The proposed subdivision will create 2 lots and 2 outlots as well as dedicate property to the city
for right-of-way. Lots 1 and Outlot A are owned by the school district. Lot 2 and Outlot B will
be owned by the city. The plat provides the necessary easements and street right-of-way for the
proposed street improvements along McGlynn Drive and Galpin Boulevard (County Road 19).
No additional right-of-way is being reserved along Trunk Highway 5 at this time due to the fact
that the widening and alignment is unknown. An area has been provided on the north portion
of the site for the expansion of Trunk Highway 5 so as not to impact the ball field areas. The
plat does provide a drainage and utility easement over a wetland on Lot 2, Block 1, however, the
area has been filled for ball fields. Previously, the City had obtained a wetland alteration permit
to fill this and therefore, the wetland and drainage and utility easement should be deleted from
the plat document.
