J I ~ Park Court Park Road . f Powers Ridge Apartment Homes Phases II, II, and IV June 26, 2000 Page 2 RACKr.ROITND On March 13,2000, the City Council approved the preliminary plat of21.34 acres into 4 lots (SUB-99-14) and Site Plan Review #99-19, approval of Phase I (Building A), 100 units, as shown on the plans dated received December 3, 1999, revised February 2, 2000, and subject to conditions. The City Council also approved an Amendment to the Lake Susan Hills PUD contract to state the impervious surface coverage of the site cannot exceed 35%. On April 10, 2000, the City Council approved the Final Plat for Subdivision #99-14 to replat 21.34 acres into I lot and I outlot for Powers Ridge Apartment Homes as shown on the plat received March 6, 2000 with conditions. Site Plan approval was granted for phase I only because that was the only building elevation that was submitted. Staff was hesitant in recommending approval of building elevations we had not seen. The applicant finalized the plans for the remaining buildings and is requesting site plan approval for the entire project. PROPOSAL SIIMMARV The applicant is requesting, site plan approval to construct three apartment buildings (244 units) on Outlot A. The buildings are proposed to be built in four phases. Phase I, an "L" shaped building, located along the northeast comer of the site, containing 100 units (Building A), was approved by the City Council on March 13,2000 and will be located on Lot I, Block I, Powers Ridge Apartment Homes. The lot has an area of 6.59 acres. Phase II consist of two buildings (B J & B2) connected through an underground garage. These buildings contain a total of 80 units. The community space (community room, swimming pool, wading pool, picnic area, fountain, etc.) will also be constructed as part of Phase II. These buildings will be located on a lot with an area of 7.86 acres. Phase III is building C. This building is located parallel to Lake Drive West and contains 88 units. It will be located on 3.69 acres. The fourth and final phase is a 76 unit Senior Independent Living Apartments (Building D), to be located on 3.20 acres. Development of each phase will be contingent upon replatting the outlot into a lot and block. ~ This site was designated as a high density site as part of the Lake Susan Hills PUD approval. The apartments are proposed to be market rate rental and to be located on 4 lots. The 21.34 acre site is bordered by single family homes (Lake Susan Hills I st Addition) to the south, industrial sites (Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7th & 8th Additions) and Lake Drive West to the north, Powers Boulevard and Lake Susan Hills Townhomes to the east, and Sunset Park to the west. The gross density is 16.1 units per acre. Access will be provided through two entrances on Lake Drive West. The site is currently zoned PUD, guided for High Density Residential. Utilities are available for the area. When the City reviewed the first phase, it also covered the overall plan for all phases. This approved master plan included landscaping, grading, drainage, hard surface coverage, sidewalks, buffering, utilities, etc. One of the conditions of approval for the master plan stated, "Each phase of the development shall conform to the overall master plan." The proposed plans compJy with Powers Ridge Apartment Homes Phases II, II, and N June 26, 2000 Page 3 all the conditions of approval. One minor change deals with decks on Building B facing southwest. These decks should be converted into bay windows. This is a straightforward site plan and it complies with the overall master plan. Staff is recommending approval with conditions. A N AI .vSIS A RCHTTF.CTITRFJSTTF. PI, AN The proposal is for the remaining three 3 story buildings, each with underground parking and community space. Each building will provide approximately 2,400 square feet of community space for uses such as multi-purpose room, exercise room, library, hobbies, etc. In addition, the buildings will share one community space in the center of the four apartment buildings. This location serves two purposes. It is centrally located and it breaks up the parking lot by redirecting the focus to the activities in the center. This space is proposed to include a one story 2,020 square foot community use building, swimming and wading pools, playground for younger children, picnic area, gardens, and fountain. Sidewalks surround the community space making it pedestrian friendly. The apartment buildings are proposed to range between I and 3 bedroom apartments. Each apartment has a deck (the applicant has converted the decks on Building B, facing the neighbors, to Bay Windows as a response to the neighborhood request and staff is recommending that the apartments facing the southeast be \;pnverted into bay windows as well). The exterior materials on all buildings will consist of brick and siding. All buildings are similar in design. The colors are proposed to be muted, earth tones. The roof pitch on the apartments and community buildings is shown at 4:12, which is consistent with the overall master plan. . The proposed buildings maintain a minimum 137 foot setback from the existing residential single family homes to the south, 100 feet from Sunset Park to the west (which are part of the Lake Susan Hills PUD). The buildings are also proposed to maintain 50 feet from Lake Drive West. There are no internal setbacks since the site is serviced internally by a private street. DENSITV This proposal is for phase II, III, and IV of Powers Ridge Apartment Homes. The overall gross density is 16.1 units per acre. The site is zoned PUD, high density residential. The PUD agreement specifies that the total number of multi family units on this site not exceed 375, or a density greater than 17.4 units/acre. The number of units on this site is 344 with a density of 16.1, which is less than that permitted by the agreement. Powers Ridge Apartment Homes Phases II, II, and IV June 26, 2000 Page 4 HARD SIIRFACF, rOVF,RAr.F, The PUD agreement specifies a maximum hard surface coverage on the site not to exceed 35%. The applicant is proposing 33.7% hard surface coverage. PARI(INr. The PUD governing this proposal requires parking to meet the R-12 standards. Parking plans meet ordinance requirements. Under the R-12 parking district requirements, the applicant must provide 2 parking spaces per unit, one and a half of which must be enclosed. Senior Housing parking requirement may be reduced due to the Jow demand generated by seniors. The total enclosed parking required is 478. The applicant is providing 478 enclosed spaces. For individuaJ buildings, the enclosed parking may exceed or be short of ordinance requirements, as shown in the table below Building A B C D Total # Of Units 100 80 88 76 344 Enclosed Parking Provided 136 129 124 89 478 Enclosed Parking Required 150 120 132 76 478 Surface parking is required at a ratio of 0.5 space per unit and I visitor parking per 4 units.

All light fixtures are shielded as required by ordinance. Powers Ridge Apartment Homes Phases II, II, and N June 26, 2000 Page 6 WF.TI,ANDS There are two ag/urban wetlands located on-site. The wetland located on the south side of the property is directly adjacent to the existing Lake Susan HiJls development. This wetland has been influenced by agricultural activities to the north and residential development to the south. An existing buffer, approximately 15- 20 feet, remains intact around the edge of the wetland. The wetland contains an open water area that remains inundated throughout the year. When the Lake Susan HiJls development was constructed, an outlet structure was installed to maintain the existing water level. This wetland requires a 50 foot setback (including an average 10 foot buffer), which the applicant has included in the plans. The applicant is also constructing a pond to pre-treat runoff before it enters this wetland. The second wetland on-site is located on the east edge of the property along Powers Boulevard. This basin is classified as an ag/urban wetland, but it has actually been used as a stormwater pond for a number of years. Runoff from the Lake Susan Hills development, Powers Boulevard and the existing agricultural land are directed to this area before entering the City's trunk storm sewer system. The applicant has proposed to expand this existing wetland to treat runoff and meet water quality requirements. The applicant will be required to re-seed any disturbed wetland areas with MnDOT seed mix 25 A, or a similar seed mix approved for wetland soil conditions. Drainage and utility easements wiJI be required over all existing and proposed wetlands, ponds and buffer strips. Wetland buffer areas should be surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. The City will install wetland buffer edge signs and will charge the applicant $20 per sign. SITRFArF WATFR MANA(";F,MF.NT PLANT ~SWMP) The appJicant is responsible for a total SWMP fee of$3,742.00. This fee covers: 1. Water quality and quantity fees for Phase I; and 2. Water quality and quantity credits for the entire site. The fees are payable to the City at time of final plat recording. . Water Quality Fees Because of the high percentage of impervious surface associated with this development, the water quality fees for this proposed development are based on commercial land use at $1 ,640/acre. Based on the proposed Phase I developed area of 6.59 acres, the water quality fees associated with this project are $10,808. The applicant has proposed water quality ponds to treat runoff for 20.34 acres of the entire site (21.34 acres). The applicant is therefore eligible for a water quality credit of$33,358.

The wetland located on the south side of the property is directly adjacent to the existing Lake Susan Hills development. This wetland has been influenced by agricultural activities to the north and residential development to the south. An existing buffer, approximately 15- 20 feet, remains intact around the edge of the wetland. The wetland contains an open water area that remains inundated throughout the year. When the Lake Susan Hills development was constructed, an outlet structure was installed to maintain the existing water level. This wetland requires a 50 foot setback (including an average 10 foot buffer), which the applicant has included in the plans. The applicant is also constructing a pond to pre-treat runoff before it enters this wetland. The second wetland on-site is located on the east edge of the property along Powers Boulevard. This basin is classified as an ag/urban wetland, but it has actually been used as a stormwater pond for a number of years. Runoff from the Lake Susan Hills development, Powers Boulevard and the existing agricultural land are directed to this area before entering the City's trunk storm sewer system. The applicant has proposed to expand this existing wetland to treat runoff and meet water quality requirements. .. The applicant will be required to re-seed any disturbed wetland areas with MnDOT seed mix 25 A, or a similar seed mix approved for wetland soil conditions. Drainage and utility easements will be required over all existing and proposed wetlands, ponds and buffer strips. Wetland buffer areas should be surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. The City will install wetland buffer edge signs and will charge the applicant $20 per sign.

Water quality and quantity fees for Phase I; and 2. Water quality and quantity credits for the entire site. The fees are payable to the City at time of final plat recording. Water Quality Fees Because of the high percentage of impervious surface associated with this development, the water quality fees for this proposed development are based on commercial land use at $1,640/acre. Based on the proposed Phase I developed area of 6.59 acres, the water quality fees associated with this project are $] 0,808.

POWERS RIDGE APARTMENT HOMES. LAKE SUSAN HILLS PARTNERSHIP AND MILLER WESTERBECK BERGER. INC. Sharmin AJ-Jaff presented the staff report on this item. Peterson: Any questions of staff? Kind: Yes Mr. Chainnan, I have a question. Sharmin, Building C, the really long snake building. AI-Jaff: Yes. Kind: What I can tell from the elevation has one entrance. Is that right? Al-Jaff: Correct. Kind: Does that seem kind of like a long building can only have one way in and out? Aanenson: There's emergency exits. If you can go back to, to meet the concerns of the neighbors to push the building in farther a couple things were compromised and that's one of the things that was compromised is a two way exiting because we pushed everything interior and it didn't allow for the exiting of both sides of the building. So that was eliminated to get the additional setback of the building. Kind: There'sjust one main entrance? Al-Jaff: There are two, what I'm going to call extra points. Kind: Where you can leave but you cannot enter? Linc Wilson: There's actually three...for automobiles? Those would be two. Kind: Actually I'm talking about people. . Aanenson: Three. Kind: There's three, okay. And you can go in and out? Great. So like with a card or how does that work? Linc Wilson: With a key. Kind: Key, okay. Just being an apartment dweller I don't like to walk a long distance so concerned about that. What else? Oh Shannin, I think last time on the master plan we talked about screening of utility meters and wall mounted and free standing ones. I did not see a condition in there for that. It's on the site plan itself? Okay. 14 Planning Commission Meeting - June 6, 2000 Linc Wilson: They're actually on the.. .elevations... Kind: Great. And then question about the landscaping. I noticed there's natural grasses on the perimeter and the sod is just on the interior. Is there any plan for reviewing that? I know that they tend to, if they're not reviewed annually or I don't know what the timing would be they get kind of looking like unkept weed areas. AI-Jaff: We have a preservation area over the southerly 137 feet and the intent is to have minimum maintenance in that area. These types of vegetations don't require maintenance and that's why they were chosen. They worked very closely with the City Forester too. Kind: If there's thistles or nettles growing in there, I mean how do you manage that? Aanenson: We do have a weed inspector. Kind: Weed inspector. Aanenson: And we do try to treat those, yes. Kind: Is that how it's handled? Aanenson: Right. Kind: It's not put on an annual review or anything like that? Aanenson: No. It would handled by a complaint basis of the city and then we would contact the property owner to manage that. If it's our property... Kind: I like the idea of the naturalized areas but I sometimes they get kind of out of hand so, that's it. Peterson: Other questions? Sacchet: Yeah Mr. Chair, I have two questions. One thing I couldn't quite put together, and that might just be my own inability to read these plans and drawings correctly but it seems like where I saw the doors in the elevations and what I see on the plat the walkways going up doesn't necessarily match up. I . would assume in reality you have, where you have to attach those to the house, that's where you have the doors, is that correct? Peterson: Why don't we wait for the questions for the applicant. Sacchet: Okay. We'll address that when it's your turn. And the other aspect from staff, or do you want to address that? No. We'll let them address it. The other question I have is about the parking spaces. It stood out to me that in the last phase, what's called the senior part, has only like 12 parking stalls in front of the building. And I'd like to hear how, I mean it makes a point in the report that since it's seniors there's less of a requirement of stalls. When I thought of this I still wondered. I mean the seniors, they like to have visitors so there needs to be parking stalls. Can you address that? 15 Planning Commission Meeting - June 6, 2000 AI-Jaff: There will be shared parking throughout the development. So there will be a portion that immediately in front of the senior building, probably this will be the most convenient area to park for visitors. But then there is plenty of surface parking around the area. Sacchet: Further away basically. Al-Jaff: For somebody to, who doesn't find a parking spot in that specific location, they can park in the parking further away. Sacchet: Okay. Just stunned me a little bit. It seems like, I mean the seniors that need to park closely and we even want to make it easy for the visitors too. But if you think it's not an issue, then that's fine. Peterson: Other questions? Would the applicant like to make a presentation? Ifso, please come forward. Linc Wilson: My name is Linc Wilson. I represent the applicant. I'm with Miller, Hanson, Westerbeck, Berger Architects and our office address is ]201 Hawthorne in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Perhaps I can just begin by just answering questions. I know that really our plans have not changed at all really since we left your commission. So I can just really answer any questions that you might have at this time. Sacchet: Would you then mind addressing maybe my question about the match up of the walkways to the doors. Linc Wilson: If I could just get clarification. Are you referring to the exterior elevations or for the site plan itself? Sacchet: The two together. I had a problem seeing how the two corresponded to each other. Linc Wilson: Do you just want me to start with Building A? Sacchet: Well actually it's a...question. It's a yes/no question. I assume that where you have a walkway on the plat;going to the building, that that's where there's a door. It's a yes/no question. Linc Wilson: Yes. You are correct. Sacchet: Okay. So you can assure me that's the case? . Linc Wilson: Yes. We will have sidewalks deliver you directly to the front entrance of each building. And each building does, just architecturally have, and this is block of lights and it's just the same.. .but each one we feel has a large feature that distinguishes, we call it as an entry. In addition, as Deb had asked the question, there are also egress doors at ends of each building and...in some of the larger buildings there are actually three egress ways which a person can enter with a security key or if building management decides, it certainly could be a card that then could get you into the building. Since the building that we're looking at here has two elevators within it that can get you up and down... Peterson: Other questions of the applicant? 16 Planning Commission Meeting - June 6, 2000 Kind: Yes Mr. Chair, I have a question. Building A has a nice, wonderful main entrance area. The rest of the buildings it's a little more subtle. I'm wondering what the rationale is for that or if there's something that could be done to say this is the main entrance. Linc Wilson: I mean they certainly are more subdued but, and this is just a design plan. We certainly have it platted here. Our intent really was for A to a certain extent to be a feature building. The main entry being here. The club house being in this location so as you enter the site here, you're looking down the site towards that main entrance. So really that was the rationale. This building also, it does go over the height restriction in very, very, very small portions. This has always been there. The tower that's lit at night which we think is a great architectural feature, but in a sense these are creating an axis towards that. Kind: I was just wondering, especially on Building C which is about the long building. If you would consider maybe raising that brick line up to the third story of just that part that comes out by that main entrance. Maybe to break up that long space a little bit more. I don't know. Linc Wilson: I think that's a good suggestion and I think for the overall cost of the development, doing something of that nature would be fairly insignificant. Kind: And then carry it through on the other buildings as well. Linc Wilson: Well I think Building B... Kind: Give me an inch you know. Linc Wilson: Is smaller. In our previous submittal there's really nothing that's changed in the Building B's entrances that I think that those entrances work quite well with the small nature of these two buildings. Burton: Mr. Chair, can I just direct a question while they've got this elevation up? Where are the doors on Building D? Linc Wilson: Right there at the main entrance. And another component of this is that this piece right here comes out 3 dimensionally. It comes off the face which you can't really see. It's in the 3 dimensionally drawings that were submitted which really have not changed. And then in addition it's flanked by a masonry wing wall which is what we had recommended be there to screen in the utilities. And that's the case on both the Building B's. . Burton: Are there any other doors? Linc Wilson: There are. There are emergency egress doors out of the project. I did not bring architectural plans for this but we have two emergency egress doors at either end that's required by code. Burton: It just seems odd because I didn't see them in there. Linc Wilson: I think you're right. They are there. They will be there. Basically on the Building B, one of the elevations you can't see the door. The other one is right here. So as you look at this face, there will be another egress door, and that's a nice entry. You knoW...windows and that since the entry is scaled down, but it still has an awning in front. 17 Planning Commission Meeting - June 6, 2000 Peterson: Other questions? Blackowiak: We can assume that, excuse me Mr. Chair, that the...that's on Bl, they are doors. They're not... Linc Wilson: There absolutely are. And Steve Terrell, the Building Inspector will make sure that there are because you can't have a 20 foot dead end corridors. Blackowiak: That was my thought. Peterson: Any further questions? Thank you. Motion and a second for a public hearing please. Burton moved, Kind seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened. Peterson: This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to address the commission please come forward and state your name and address please. Lois Dyvik: Hi...Lois Dyvik from 1260 Lake Susan Hills Drive addressing some issues here and I'm sure if they're not all resolved, and that bay window... And what about the height, pitch of roof? Are those pitches on all the roofs down to 4: 12 or? Linc Wilson: That's in the report. Lois Dyvik: Okay, I didn't see that. Okay. I didn't see that there. Now the berm elevation in that, behind that B2 building on the south end is 950? That's what that is? Okay. Then can you tell me what the elevation is, right at the ground level. Aanenson: The base level. Lois Dyvik: The base level, what is that elevation? Applicant: 940. Lois Dyvik: 940? Hempel: Correct. Lois Dyvik: Okay. And at the bottom of the berm then, that elevation is? ...we're the fourth lot in. I'm looking at, what is our elevation back there that I can get a, what was that? 926? Okay. Alright, those are my questions. Thank you. Peterson: Anyone else? Kind moved, Burton seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Peterson: Public hearing is closed. Commissioners, any thoughts on this? Please. 18 . 'i I 1-:: f f Planning Commission Meeting - June 6, 2000 Kind: I can go. I think it looks good. There's nothing new. It's pretty straight forward. Staff did a thorough job, as usual. I would like to add a condition that suggests that the applicant consider increasing the brick on the main entrances. But other than that I think it looks good. Burton: Mr. Chainnan. Last time this was before us I voted against it based on the site plan consideration and at that time we were looking at Building A. And the reason I voted against it was because of, that Building A set the ground work for where Building B was going to be and so forth and I guess my view hasn't really changed on the site plan and I look at the elements that are listed in our staff report and I think that there are a number of them that I don't think are complied with by this development. And the B buildings in particular still. One of the elements was that the site plan preserves the site in it's 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 or developing areas and I don't think that this project is, matches up well with the existing developments. And the next element that we consider is whether it creates 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. And I do not believe that this is. I think that there are, there's no hannony between this development and their existing properties. And the next element which I'll shorten because it's so lengthy would be, again hannonious design for structures with special attention to the general community and the general community or the neighbors in this case I don't think that they are protected by the site plan. And another element is protecting site buffers and preservation of views and light and air and those elements and again for the same reasons I don't think that they are preserved adequately by this site plan. And as I did the last time, I voted against this and I will again tonight. Peterson: Good. Other comments? I'll entertain a motion. Kind: Mr. Chair, I'll move the Planning Commission approve Site Plan #99- I 9 SPR for the construction of phases II, III and IV of a three multi-family buildings (244 apartment units) and a community space as shown on the plans dated Received May 17,2000 and subject to the following conditions I through 26. And I would like to add 27 that states, the applicant shall consider defining main entrances to buildings by increasing brick height to the third~tory. Peterson: Is there a second? Blackowiak: Weill guess I will second that. . Peterson: Any further discussion?

PUBLIC HEARING: REOUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A CONTRACTOR'S YARD TO OCCupy 5.000 SOUARE FEET OF AN OFFICE WAREHOUSE BUILDING ON PROPERTY ZONED INDUSTRIAL OFFICE PARK (lOP) AND LOCATED ON LOT 1. BLOCK 1. CHANHASSEN LAKES BUSINESS PARK 7TH ADDITION. BENlEK PROPERTY SERVICES. INe. Sharmin AI-Jaff presented the staff report on this item. Peterson: Questions of staff. Blackowiak: Mr. Chair I have a couple questions. One of the general issuance standards Sharmin, number 7 talks about hours of operation. And I'm concerned that, especially with snow plowing, hours of operation are going to be when it snows. Which mayor may not be during the general business hours. Do you feel that that is a concern at all to the neighbors directly to the south specifically? I'm looking more at the residential neighbors. AI-Jaff: There is a park that will separate them from this site. You have complete trees approximately 60 feet. The houses are located probably 200 feet to 300 feet from those buildings... Peterson: Motion for a public hearing. Kind moved, Burton seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened. Peterson: This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to address the commission, please come forward and state your name and address please. Motion to close. . Kind moved, Sacchet seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Peterson: Commissioners, any thoughts? Kind: I like the idea of it being totally enclosed. I think it's great. Sacchet: I went out there looking at it because it didn't show an elevation off the back side of the building and how it looks like the loading dock and especially like a good size garage door all the way to the ground level. It won't accommodate any really huge equipment and it was pretty neat. I don't think it's an issue. Blackowiak: And as long as the snow plowing issue is addressed, and actually kept to the noise ordinance, then I'm comfortable. That's my big concern. 23 .. i " II II II II II II II II II " II II d) II UJ ...J II ~ II :ï " d) " II .. II II II II II II II cJ II II \'./ ---j- , ~.. ,..
