The project is a 5,100 square foot day-care facility designed to service the needs of the employees of Instant Web, United Mailing and Victory Envelope. The tenant will be a new day-care corporation setup to meet I ' their employee's needs. The site was selected because of its location; providing isolation with a background of trees. The building will be owned by Rome Properties and is intended to be ' I Phase #IT of my original 1985 development on Lot 3, Block 2. Phase #1 is a 16,000 square foot office warehouse. ' ,i There are several areas of concern for reviewal and they require action through the planning process. 1. Conditional Use Permit and Zoning Text Amendment '`' II A. It is my understanding that Staff and Council have addressed the issue of day-care in the IOP. I believe the finding was that a day-care can be a conditional use in an existing building. B. We are requesting that Staff and; Council modify their findings to include our day-care facility as a free standing building and permit conditional use. This action would probably require a zoning text amendment and a conditional use permit. I�I 2. Site Plan Review A. We have submitted a site drawing to define the project with regard to topography, location, access and parking. ' B. If we have a favorable opinion, we will move directly into • an elevation drawing and final plans and specifications. ,C ' ROME DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION 1450 PARK COURT • CHANHASSEN, MN 55317 • PHONE(612) 474-2125, 867-1886 ; ,; AU G 1 21988± - ! • =•'salXi.s-.'•YV{4+,.'M'yFt:A.1wa..ib7b1'dl'd<¢ti^iiis:E�'V.-`;3`� 1 c C 1 1 1 Page 2 1 3. Subdivision - A. The total parcel, Lot 3, Block 2, contains the existing Phase #I project; an office warehouse on a portion (1.4 1 acres) of the land. This portion of the parcel is defined by metes and bounds. B. With the inclusion of Phase #II, we will replat the land 1 into two distinct parcels, even though we will own both projects. C. The entry to the day-care will be 30 feet wide and will be handled by a permanent easement or by land ownership. 1 4. Assessment Reduction Agreement A. Lot 3, Block 2 has approximately $16,000.00 of special assessments against it. Past yearly payments have been made to reduce it from the amount left after the Phase #I reductions in 1985. B. We are requesting the HRA to allow Phase #II to reduce this ' amount by the normal process with any balance paid off at completion of the project. 1 Barbara, this should cover all the items that we discussed. I am asking for your help and guidance in the preparation and submittal of any other information necessary in the planning process for timeliness and 1 background.

Mayor Hamilton: I think Redman Products already has a daycare center in their facility. Barbara Dacy: That's correct. That was under , our former ordinance and the former ordinance did allow that type of accessory use. Mayor Hamilton: I think it's a great idea. It's really neat that companies are willing to do that. Councilman Boyt: I think we need to be specific about the users of the daycare center. I think they need to be limited to children who have parents employed in the Industrial Park or maybe even with that particular employer where it's located. I don't think we want to encourage licensed daycare centers to take people from the general public in an industrial office park. It's a real good idea for the children of the people who work there. Councilman Geving: I think that's probably already built in. Mayor Hamilton: Do you know what the scope of your operation is going to be , Dick. Dick Warren: The primary purpose of course would be for the employees of Instant Webb Company. What you run into is we have some fairly significant , costs that are associated with regulations. Construction really has to be built during contingency so, I'm trying to find a good way of phrasing this. I think that it would make the thing a lot more doable if you had the escape hatch of opening it up to other people in the office park, if for whatever reason... It would make the project a lot more feasible over the long haul. Mayor Hailton: I think that's what Bill and Clark are saying. As long as it's for the people in the office park, people who work there. Not necessarily someone who works up on TH 7 and wants to just drop their child off at your daycare center since there are other daycare centers to handle those type of folks. Councilman Boyt: I think we need to word that someway because as it stands now, ' anyone could come in and say I want to put a daycare center in the IOP. Barbara Dacy: Not as a permitted use. We have to, have an established permitted use in the industrial first before you can have an acessory use. Councilman Boyt: Okay, I guess that covers my concern. Councilman Horn moved, Mayor Hamilton seconded to approve Zoning Ordinance Amendment Request #88-10 to amend Section 20-813, Permitted Accessory Uses of the IOP, Industrial Office Park District, as follows: (4) State licensed day care center. All voted in favor and the motion carried. 46 1 Planning Commission Meeting June 15, 1988 - Page 19 ' tenants. Wildermuth : I 'm surprised he didn' t haul it off . Brad Johnson: It is being hauled away this week. As I said, it' s part of a general clean-up that' s under process . If it were cleaned up, we' ll figure out a solution but the solution, until there is that kind of property. . . I wouldn ' t believe it had I not gone back and guys like Bob Naegele owned it and a guy by the name of. . . Both of those were of ' considerable net worth at the time and the place just kept going nowhere. Emmings: So this just goes onto the City Council and we don't have to take any action? ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO AMEND SECTION 20-813 TO ALLOW CHILD CARE ' CENTERS AS AN ACCESSORY USE IN THE IOP, INDUSTRIAL OFFICE PARK DISTRICT, INSTANT WEB, INC. . Public Present : Richard Warren Jo Ann Olsen presented the staff report . Chairman Emmings called the public hearing to order . Dick Warren : I 'm Dick Warren with the Instant Webb Company. I wrote the ' letter that is included in the packet . I told Barb that I would bring along a copy of the revised 4, 300 foot structure plan to give you a sense of what that would look like. It ' s the same concept. The fundamental ' issue is we' re dealing with so many ratios , space ratios , it ' s a little bit like designing a . . .and we just couldn' t get the job done in the structure design. I 'm available for any questions that you have otherwise I don' t have any further comment . Conrad moved , Wildermuth seconded to close the public hearing . All voted in favor and the motion carried . The public hearing was closed . Ellson : I love it. I' love the idea . I think it ' s great . I think you ' re idea is great. You can hire me any time because I 'd love to have an office that had a daycare. I think it' s wonderful . Conrad: No comments. I think it' s a good idea . Batzli : I had a comment and I realized probably how silly it is now that I reread the definition of an accessory use and my question was going to be why don' t we make it a conditional use but it ' s a permitted accessory use so 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other , I guess , and since they' re licensed , I don ' t have a problem with that . Planning Commission Meeting June 15, 1988 - Page 20 , Wildermuth : I t Excellent idea . I think Instant Webb is to be commended . I think they' re probably the first company in Chanhassen to have a daycare , center . Emmings : I have no comments . I agree with Annette . Ellson moved, Wildermuth seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment Request #88-10 to amend Section 20-813, Permitted Accessory Uses of the IOP, Industrial Office Park District as follows : (4) State Licensed Day Care Center . , All voted in favor and the motion carried . ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO AMEND SECTION 20-904 AND SECTION 20-615 (6B) , ACCESSORY STRUCTURES TO PROVIDE SETBACKS AND MAXIMUM SIZE OF ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, STORAGE BUILDINGS AND DETACHED BUILDINGS. Olsen : We' re asking you to table it right now until we can republish. We want to publish the whole thing so people can see it. , Emmings : At this point you just want to know that we. . . i Olsen : That this is okay. The new stuff is in bold hopefully to make it easier to see what the changes were. Emmings : We' re going to table this I guess . Conrad: So we ' re not going to have a public hearing . ' Emmings : So we' re not going to have a public hearing and I think what they' re asking for is our comments as to the content of this when it does 11 come back on the public hearing so they want to be sure that we ' re in agreement with what this says at this point in time. If anybody' s got any reservations , just go ahead and speak them out . Conrad : The only thing that I find interesting is the City Council , who — was very concerned about 1, 000 square foot accessory building and we rationalized 1,000 as a good sized three car garage and a shop. That ' s how we came to that 1,000 feet . That makes sense to me. I have no other comments but that' s a number we could certainly move around. Whether it' s 1,000 or whatever . I think City Council will move it to where they want to move it anyway so I don' t really care. Emmings : The 3 acres is the same thing . It could be 3. It could be 4 . - It could be 5 or 9 but I think it' s reasonable. Then does everybody feel that this basically says , that it brings together what we tried to do so many times before.

Planning Commission Meeting September 7 , 1988 - Page 55 Brown: There ' s quite a list of reasons . Some of them are still coming in, as a matter of fact, as to why that island has ended exactly where it was . If you' re real familiar with the area . . . iI Emming: That' s something, when I look at it, it looks to me would be way to like that y get two full intersections in there and still reduce it but just a little further north back to two lanes . If that' s ridiculous, fine. If it hasn ' t been considered , then take a look at it. II Conrad : My only comments are really consistent with staff report. Maximum 35% lot coverage. That ' s got to be. I don ' t care how you do it and I wasn' t going to let you off by reducing road sizes either . I think you' ve got to come up with the 35% someway and if you do, it will sail through. We talked about the wetlands . You hear our point on the wetlands . Don ' t need to belabor that point . The 25 foot frontyard setback, you' ve got to meet that. Those are just some absolutes that we IIjust don ' t slack off of at all . Anything else? Ed Flanner: May I interject one other issue? That is the handicap. We have this symmetrical building . . . 8 units . If I expand this area , II particularly with the handicap having a 12 foot space, what I 'd like to do is put 2 handicap units per building so that I would have a balance in the way the building is built. The report asks that we mix them and 11 spread in them e b th ugrohout the project . I feel . . . for the maximum 2 handicap units thuilding . �I Ellson : What was your reason for that? Ed Flanner : It ' s a design use. ') Ellson : I understand that but what was her reasoning for the opposite? Dacy: I 'm not sure and I ' ll work with the applicant on it. Headla moved , Batzli seconded to table action on the preliminary plat , !I wetland alteration permit and site plan review for the DeRand Corporation. All voted in favor and the motion carried .

Planning Commission Meeting September 7 , 1988 - Page 60 Batzli : I ' d be happy to accept the suggestion that if staff would like to look at additional safety points for inclusion for the Council ' s consideration , that' s fine . Conrad : Was your motion ever seconded? Batzli : I don' t recall . Dacy: Tim did . Conrad : Tim, would you amend your second? Erhart: Sure.
