APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
CBD allows hotels as a permitted use. There are no setbacks ,

is 10 , 000 square feet with 100 feet street frontage and maximum lot
depth of 100 feet (Attachment #1) .
REFERRALS '
City Engineer Attachment #2
Preliminary Plat '
The applicant is proposing to construct an 84 unit hotel over two
existing lots (Lot 1 and 4, Block 1 of Chanhassen Mall) .
Therefore, the applicant is required to replat the property to
remove interior lot lines where the hotel is located. The appli-
cant is proposing to create two lots, Lot 1 and 2 , Block 1 and
five outlots (Outlots A, B , C, D and E) . The proposed site
currently has buildings which house Hooked on Classics, Allstate
Insurance, Animal Fair, etc. The proposed construction of the
hotel will remove the building containing Hooked on Classics, All
State Insurance and will leave the building containing Animal
Fair. The proposed hotel will be located on Lot 1, Block 1 of
Bloomberg Addition and the remaining building will be located on
Lot 2, Block 1, Bloomberg Addition.
The number of outlots are necessary due to the types of improve-
ments that will be made to the site. The parking areas for the
site will be located approximately where Outlot A and Outlot D
are proposed. As part of negotiations for improvements to the
site, the City will be constructing the parking areas for use of
the hotel and in front of the existing building on Lot 2, Block
1 . In order for the City to make these improvements, the City
must have control of those lots. When the City makes the parking
lot improvements , the outlots will be transferred to the City and
once the improvements are completed the ownership of Outlots A
and D will be transferred back to the Bloomberg Companies.
Outlots B and C will remain to be utilized as access for both Lot
1 ( the hotel) and Lot 2 ( the existing buildings ) . Outlot E is a
seven foot wide strip which is currently part of Lot 1, Block 1,
Chanhassen Mall and it will be transferred to the City to provide
the 40 foot wide right of way necessary for West 78th Street.
As a part of the plat approval a portion of the existing right of
way for West 78th Street will be vacated and turned over to the
Bloomberg Companies. The right-of-way is shown with the dotted
line on Attachment #3. Interior street and utility easements
will also be vacated.

The proposed Lots 1 and 2 , Block 1 meet the minimum area require-
ments for lots within the CBD District. Once the outlots are
' reconveyed to Bloomberg Companies, when improvements to the sites
are completed, Lots 1 and 2 will have the required street fron-
tage.

from Bloomberg Companies for the construction of Market ,
Boulevard. Since that area is now going to become a part of the
hotel site, the property should be rezoned from BG to CBD.

The Planning Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt
the following motion: '
"The Planning Commission recommends approval of Rezoning Request
#89-1. "

SITE PLAN '
The applicant is proposing to develop an 84-room hotel located on
2 .1 acres zoned CDB. The Central Business District allows the
hotel as a permitted use. The CDB district does not have speci-
fic requirements for setbacks or lot coverage.
The hotel will be located on the southeasterly portion of Lot 1,
Block 1, Bloomberg Addition as shown as Parcel A on the site
plan. The parking area for the hotel will be located on the
north and west side of the hotel. The site will be serviced off
of West 78th Street and Market Boulevard. The zoning ordinance
requires one parking space for each rental room or suite, plus
one space for every two employees. Therefore, the hotel would be
required to have 88 parking spaces . The applicant is providing
99 parking spaces. The site plan also shows that there will be
seating for continental breakfast. The continental breakfast
will only be for the people using the hotel. Therefore, addi-
tional parking would not be required. The height of the building
will be three stories at 34 feet. The trash enclosure for the
site is located in the southwest corner of the hotel and shall be
fully enclosed. Any roof-top equipment will be required to be
screened.

The applicant is proposing two wall signs . They will be located
on the north and south side. The wall signs are 16 square feet
and 37 square feet, which meets the requirements of the ordi-
nance. The applicant is also proposing one pylon sign which has
a height of 20 feet and a square footage of 68 feet. The zoning
ordinance only allows a 64 square foot sign. Therefore, the
' sign must be reduced in size to meet the 64 square foot require-
ments . The pylon sign is also shown to have a changeable letter
and price area below the Country Suites sign. This would not be
' permitted unless the total area of both signs equal 64 square
feet. Details of the sign and elevations of the building are
attached on the back of the report along with reduced copies of
' the site plan.
Landscaping
' The last page of the set of plans contains the landscaping plan.
Several of the plantings shown along West 78th Street and Market
Boulvard and south of the hotel are existing plantings. The
' applicant is also proposing extensive interior landscaping around
the hotel site. The applicant is adding a two-foot hedge to
be located between the vehicular area and abutting right-of-way.
The proposed landscaping plan meets the requirements of the
ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION - Site Plan
' Staff recommends the Planning Commission to adopt the following
motion:
' "The Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan #89-2 as
shown on site plan dated "March 15 , 1989" with the following con-

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
' FROM: Gary Warren, City Engineer
DATE: April 13 , 1989
SUBJ: Site Plan Review for Country Suites Hotel
File No. 89-4 Land Use Review
Country Suites is proposing to develop on Lot 4, Block 1 of
Chanhassen Mall. This site is fronted by West 78th Street to the
' north and Market Boulevard to the west.
Sanitary Sewer
Municipal sanitary sewer service is available to the site by an
existing 10-inch sewer main within the eastbound lane of West
78th Street. This existing main was sized and installed to ser-
' vice the anticipated development of Chanhassen Mall.
Watermain
' The existing 10-inch watermain within the site will be relocated
to the east side of Market Boulevard to make room for the hotel
and parking lot construction. Four new hydrants will be
installed for fire protection. Relocation and timing of this
main needs to be closely coordinated with the City' s Utility
Superintendent. The 10 inch watermain shall remain a public uti-
lity and appropriate easements dedicated over it.
Roadway
A 36-foot wide entry drive should be used for any roads which
will experience truck traffic consistent with the City' s
commercial/industrial standards. A detail for these road sec-
!' tions and parking lot should be provided. All removal of
existing street sections necessary for utility connection shall
be replaced to the existing standard.
' Site Grading/Erosion Control
' It appears that a majority of the site will experience shaping
and/or grading to create the building pad and parking lot.
,'
Planning Commission
April 13 , 1989
Page 2
The plans do not include any erosion control. This needs to be
addressed thoroughly so that proper protection can be provided.
Storm Drainage
The storm sewer system for the site will be constructed with two
systems . The first will connect to the existing catch basin at
Market Boulevard at the southwest corner of the site which will
handle only a portion of the parking lot drainage. The second,
primary system will handle the building, courtyard and balance of
the parking lot and will connect to the existing 72-inch storm
sewer in Market Boulevard. This will require replacement of por-
tions of Market Blvd. and the City' s walkway along the west boun-
dary of the site. These patches shall be of sufficient
proportion to provide a stabilized oavement area when complete.
The storm sewer system shall remain the responsibility and in
ownership of the developer.
Recommended Conditions
1 . Revised plans shall be submitted for approval that address
the conditions and discussion contained in this staff report.
2 . An erosion control plan shall be included in the submittals.
3 . All side slopes greater than 3 : 1 will need erosion
protection.
4 . A typical section of roadway and parking lot is to be shown
on the plans for approval with concrete curb and gutter '
throughout the site.
5 . The applicant will be entering into a development contract with
the City for phased development of the site including the
necessary financial sureties to guarantee the proper
installation of these improvements .
6 . All privately owned underground utilities, i .e. telephone,
gas, electric, shall be relocated outside of the building pad
at the time of construction. '
7 . All roadway and walkways disturbed by the construction shall
be replaced in sufficient proportion to provide a stabilized
pavement area.

Bill Dahl : Country Hospitality Suites is a new franchise created by the
I Carlson Companies about 2 1/2-3 years ago. In this period of time they' ve
sold 283 development franchise rights across the United States and Canada .
At the present time there ' s 5 properties open and another one opening May
I4th in Holland, Michigan. There will be about 18 additional properties
this year across the country. Country Hospitality Suites is a division of
Carlson Hospitality Group Inc. which the Carlson Hospitality Group
includes a Radisson Hotel Company. Colony Resorts which they have
I primarily in the Hawaii.n Islands. TGI Friday restaurants and the Country
Hospitality Group . The Country Hospitality Group includes County Kitchen
restaurants, Country Hospitality Inns , Country Hospitality Suites and
I Country Hospitality Resorts . Part of this program is that all properties
are listed in the Radisson Hotel directory. . . We' re also on the same
reservation system as the Radisson Hotels out of Omaha , Nebraska. The
Country Line. . . take reservations through there. We' re listed in all the
I Ask Mr . Foster Travel Agencies . They' re the second the largest in the
world and the largest in the United States and generate some 22, 000
overnights each day through their travel operation. The operation. . .
I National Management Company. A professional hotel and management
company. . . in accord with the Country Hospitality Inc . guidelines . They
are. . .with the Country Hospitality facia look that they like on the
Ioutside of the building with the decor on the inside using a very similar_
decor to that plus the addition of. . . Herb and Carol Bloomberg. There will
be a couple of small meeting rooms in this particular hotel but we' re
actually going to rely on the Dinner Theater for their meeting and banquet
Ispaces and also utilizing the Dinner Theaters for some of the daytime
meetings when the theaters are not running.
IConrad : What ' s the typical rack rate?
Bill Dahl : The rack rate being in the neighborhood of $48 . 00 to $65. 00.
IIConrad : Are they really suites?
Bill Dahl : Yes . We have a number of two room suites . They have two
Ihoneymoon or luxury suites as we call them. Then two bedroom suites. Two
room suites like Embassy Suites . Some what we call demi-suites which are
larger suites. Largely in one room. That will be equipped with a queen
IIsized or king sized bed and the sofa sleeper that accommodates a family of
four . Each suite will have a microwave oven and refrigerator and a wet
bar in it .
IIEllson : Is there going to be a restaurant or a lounge bar in this?
Bill Dahl : Not within the hotel . We will serve a continental breakfast .
IAs far as full . . .no actual cooked to order food .
Ellson: Everybody will get into their rooms by going inside?

April 19, 1989 - Page 3
Bill Dahl : That ' s correct . There' s no outside entrances. Correct.
We' ll have a swimming pool and exercise room. Excellent safety visibility
from the front desk over the swimming pool and the exercise room area .
Very extremely fine layout. We' re quite pleased with it.
Ellson: You said it was being run by a company. Does that mean like this
is franchised but it ' s actually run by Carlson?
Bill Dahl : No , this is a franchise.
Conrad: Anything else we should know about? Herb, you haven' t said
anything .
Herb Bloomberg : I think this is rather_ . . .Chanhassen. My wife Carol and I
are going to pretty much do the interior decor . . . Some of you maybe know
we managed to get possession of the interior paneling from the old
Charley' s Restaurant including the wonderful copper . . . We were unable to
get the statue. But we really look forward to having this thing in
operation and I think it' s good for Chanhassen. . .
Conrad : Any other comments? Planning Commission comments .
Erhart: The last I heard, there was supposed to be a regular restaurant
with the . . .
Clayton Johnson : Part of our plans in the theater are to have a public
restaurant to serve the hotel guests .
Erhart : Is that where these Charley decorations?
Clayton Johnson: No. Herb' s talking about using the interior of Charley' s
in the lobby, the fireplace and lobby area in the hotel .
Erhart: . . . I had a concern, is the pylon sign going to have pricing?
Room pricing on that pylon sign?
Bill Dahl : No . That was originally in the Country Hospitality program to
have the pricing signs. This new concept they came up with so at 10: 00 at
night if they had vacancies , they could reduce the r_ates . . . they got some
comments from some of the guests in the property so that part of it' s been
scratched . I would love to have a reader board there so we can give
informational comments on what' s going on it the hotel . Such and such
meeting or that type of thing or some information with special holiday
weekend in conjunction with the Dinner Theater . Would that informational
board be considered part of the sign ordinance?
Olsen: Yes . ,
Erhart : . . .putting pricing out there makes this thing look like a highway
hotel and I just don' t think that' s he image we want here. This is a
downtown. . . in conjunction with the Dinner Theater .
Planning Commission Meeting
IIApril 19 , 1989 - Page 4
IIConrad: Reader boards are nice to have.
II Erhart : Yes , I have no problem with that .
Conrad: It gives them the flexibility to advertise their price but. . .
II Erhart : . . .prices is not consistent with what we have in the downtown .
Then one more comment on the conditions. Are there any 3 : 1 slopes on the
plat?
IIOlsen : There are some.
Emmings : . . . I think it ' s just great. . .
IIEllson : It looks fine to me .
II Batzli : Even though the applicant themselves , Country Hospitality Suites ,
the Carlson Companies . . . so I abstain.
II Wildermuth : I like the idea of a hotel . . . The one reservation I have is
with the parking . . . short of parking . . .
Headla : Wouldn ' t it have been appropriate for the fire department to
II comment on this?
Olsen : They did review it . . .
IIHeadla : They didn ' t comment on it? I assume they' re going to put in
writing that they didn ' t need any additional fire fighting equipment .
IIOlsen : The new truck that we ' re getting, that will . . .
Headla : . . . I 've asked a number of times . . .
IIConrad : No comments . But just a reference to the staff report. It said
the requirements are 88 parking spaces and they' re providing 99. There' s
II no restaurant . There' s no meeting space so I guess . . . I like it . I have
no comments .
II Erhart moved, Wildermuth seconded that the Planning Commission recommend
approval of Site Plan #89-2 as shown on the site plan dated "March 15,
1989" with the following conditions :
II1. Final Plat approval of the plat for Bloomberg Addition .
