minimum lot frontage 150 feet on public street and a minimum lot
depth of 200 feet (Attachment #1) .

ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to replat Outlot A and Lot 1, Block 1,
Chanhassen Lakes Business Park Third Addition into five
industrial office park lots and one outlot.
Lot 1 , Block 1 57 .8 acres
' Lot 1 , Block 2 6 .3 acres
Lot 2 , Block 2 12 .6 acres
Lot 3 , Block 2 5 . 8 acres
' Lot 1, Block 3 3 acres
Outlot A 2 acres
' The proposed Lots 1-3 , Block 2 , located in the westerly corner,
are bordered by the railroad, Lake Drive East and County Road 17 .
Lot 1 , Block 3 is located in the northeast corner of the site and
is bordered by Hwy. 5 , Lake Drive East and the extension of
Market Boulevard. Lot 1 , Block 1 is located in the southern por-
tion of the site adjacent to Lake Drive East and Lake Susan.
' Outlot A is located on the westerly boundary of Lot 1, Block 1 .
Outlot A was created to be transferred to the city to be used for
additional parkland for Lake Susan. All of the lots contain the
required lot area, frontage and depth for the IOP District.
Currently, the right-of-way for Lake Drive East is located along
the southerly boundary of proposed Lots 1 and 2 , Block 2 and then
through the middle portion of Lot 1 , Block 1 . The preliminary
plat is showing the realignment of Lake Drive East to the north
of its current location. The applicant is in the process of
vacating the existing portion of Lake Drive East and relocating it
as shown on the preliminary plat. The relocation of Lake Drive
East provides additional land for Lot 1, Block 1 and maintains
' the large Class A wetland and one of the Class B wetlands on Lot
1 , Block 1 . The City Council will review the vacation request at
the October 24th City Council meeting.

The buildable area of Lot 1 , Block 3 is reduced as a result of
the proposed realignment of Lake Drive East the future extension
of Market Boulevard, Hwy. 5 and the Class B wetland. Lot 1,
Block 3 contains a Class B wetland which makes up the westerly
half of the lot. The site will have to maintain the front yard
setbacks from Hwy. 5 , Market Boulevard and Lake Drive East and
the 75 foot setback from the Class B wetland. It appears that
with the imposed setbacks of the Zoning Ordinance, the buildable
area for Lot 1 , Block 3 is questionable without variances to the
setbacks from the roads and possibly a variance to the wetland
setback. Therefore, staff is recommending that Lot 1, Block 3 be
designated as an outlot and be deemed unbuildable until it can be
shown that the site could be developed with a plan that maintains
the required setbacks . If the lot is approved as Lot 1 , Block 3 ,
the city is approving it is a buildable lot and improvement to
the site could not be denied. If the lot is approved as a
buildable lot site improvements could infringe on the wetland and '
front yard setbacks by receiving a variance since a hardship
would exist.
Park and Recreation Commission ,
The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the site plan for
Rosemount and recommended that 2 acres of parkland along the
eastern boundary of Lake Susan Park be dedicated resulting in a
$48,000 credit to park dedication. Additionally, the Park and
Recreation Commission recommended that the city include a
sidewalk in the Lake Drive East improvement project and that the
developer be required to pay 100% of trail dedication fees
(Attachment #3) .
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the ,
following motion:
"The Planning Commission recommends approval of Subdivision
Request #88-25 as shown on the preliminary plat stamped "Received
September 2Q, 1988" subject to the following conditions:

' SUBJ: Preliminary Plat Review for Lot 1 and Outlot A, Block 1
Chanhassen Lakes Business Park, Third Addition
Planning File No. 88-25 SUB, Rosemount, Inc.
This site is located immediately north of Lake Susan and west of
State Highway 101. The site is varied in topography and contains
mature vegetation scattered throughout. At present, Outlot C
' serves as the City' s park and pump house facility.
During the September 26 , 1988 meeting, the City Council
' authorized a feasibility study to analyze sanitary sewer, water-
main and construction of Lake Drive East through these proper-
ties. Several of the issues regarding this site for utilities
1 will have to be addressed once the feasibility study is
completed. At this time, general comments will be made which
will need to be clarified through the feasibility process .
1 Watermain
Municipal water service will be available to the site by the
' extension of the watermain along the proposed Lake Drive East.
The site plan, which is not up for approval at this time, indica-
tes that the watermain for the entire Rosemount site will be
constructed by the City. It is unclear at this time whether the
' applicant is requesting that the City do this construction as a
public works improvement project.
1 Sanitary Sewer
Municipal sanitary sewer service through the proposed right-of-
way of Lake Drive East will be analyzed as part of the authorized
feasibility study. The applicant should note that at this time
the City has not been petitioned to extend sanitary sewer or
water service to the proposed building as a public works improve-
ment project. Unless petitioned, it is the applicant' s respon-
sibility for the construction of this watermain. If the
applicant wishes to petition the City for the construction of
1 these mains , the cost of these improvements would be assessed
back to each of the benefitting property owners .

Grading and Drainage I
The proposed grading for the Rosemount site appears to be
appropriate for the surrounding area. The intended use of the
I
existing ponds/wetland will need to be addressed through the
wetland alteration permit process .
The plans also indicate a future ponding site by the City. I
Unless the feasibility study for Lake Drive East indicates other-
wise, the City does not have plans for immediate construction of II this ponding site. The plans should be revised such that the
water quality issues for the Rosemount site will be addressed
adequately through the ponds on site.
The proposed facility has proposed a water discharge to the II
ponding sites, along with cooling towers . I have reviewed the
Environmental Protection Agency report for the discharge for the
II
Eden Prairie site. The report states that the discharge of water
from their facility is acceptable. The applicant is preparing an
environmental assessment worksheet at this time.
Easements II
Construction of utility easements will be determined through the
II
feasibility and plans and specifications review process. The
final plat should reflect any permanent easements required by the
feasibility study once approved.
II
Conditions of Approval
1 . The applicant shall enter into a development contract with
II
the city and provide the city with the necessary financial
sureties to guarantee the installation of the public improve-
ments .

The Park and Recreation Commission moved to recommend that the
City request the dedication of 2 acres of parkland along the

BACKGROUND
Rosemount, Inc. , is proposing to build a 330,000 sq. ft. building ,
on the property next to Lake Susan Park. The HRA has been
working to provide incentives to attract this company as it will
bring 700 new jobs to Chanhassen and over $839,000 in new •
taxes annually.
In early 1988, the Park and Recreation Commission made applica-
tion to the Department of Trade and Economic Development for the
park development at Lake Susan Park. Part of that park design
involves boat access on Lake Susan. The logical place to put the
access would be along the east boundary of the park; however,
doing so would require the removal of a stand of large mature oak
trees . Staff has felt that the acquisition of additional land to
the east would allow us to construct the access without
endangering the stand of trees .
In conceptual discussions, Rosemount has agreed to dedicate the 2
acres needed along our eastern park boundary. They would expect
a credit on park dedication fees for the amount the land cost
them, $24 ,000 per acre. This 57. 75 acre project would generate
$60,637 in park dedication. With the dedication of 2 acres of
parkland, the balance due would be $12,637.
The Safe Sidewalk and Trailway Plan calls for an off-street
sidewalk along Lake Drive East. As this street will be
constructed by the City, a credit on the trail dedication fee
would not be appropriate.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of this office to request the dedication
of 2 acres of parkland on the eastern boundary of Lake Susan
Park, allowing a $48,000 credit to park dedication. Additionally,
it is recommended that the City include the sidewalk in the Lake
Drive East street improvement project and that the developer be
required to pay 100% of the trail dedication fee ( $20 ,212) .

IJo Ann Olsen presented the staff report .
Chairman Conrad called the public hearing to order .
I ,
Bob Worthington: Mr. Chairman, given the fact that you' re in a hurry and
I given the significant nature of the project, in a way it ' s going to be
very difficult for me to give a very short presentation this evening
because we are very pleased to be able to present the beginnings of what
for us is the Rosemount, Inc . manufacturing facility which all of you know
I is relocating and constructing a major facility here in Chanhassen . The
process that we' re talking about which is now being interpretted through
this plat started several months ago. As you know Chanhassen was in
I competition with another community. Was able to persuade the Rosemount
people that this would be a good community for their facility and
Rosemount indeed committed to the community. It was just two days ago
II that Opus was selected as the contractor for the project and now we are in
the process of evolving the site plan which we' re going to be coming back
to you for your approval on next month for this facility. We' ve kind of
'`� been running far a while. We' re very pleased that we' re able to start the
I process this evening . We think we' ll have an EAW which is a mandatory
requirement and Alan Schaft is ready to submit that to the State for their
comment and . . .multiple comments back and hopefully finding no major

adverse impact. . .environmental issues that have been identified as new
research on the site. The major focus of course is the larger 57. 57 acres
upon which the development will take place. I can say this , even though '
we' re not here this evening to talk about a site plan, that it will be on
the southeastern corner of the site . The building will be located and
access will be provided off of Lake Drive which will be extended in a
slightly different configuration than was proposed when you approved
previously the Detroit Deisel project on this site. There's going to be a
conference center on this site which. . . in terms of the building. They' re
going to come in with a much needed and very important facility for our II park as well as the community. We think we' re going to have an exciting
plan to show you in about a month and we hope you agree with that. We
reviewed the staff report and have no objections to any of the
stipulations that have been recommended as conditions of approval for the II
plat. We do want to comment on the fact that, as was indicated by staff,
that the lot that they want to make into an outlot is going to be a
difficult one to develop. However , we disagree with the language that II it's an undevelopable site. We think it is a developable site. It will
require perhaps some variances in order for it to be fully developed . We
think that should 10 be shown as a variance, perhaps. . .could contribute to II
the overall image and prosperity of the park. So with those comments ,
I ' ll step back and I ' ll be happy to answer any questions that you may
have. I think the staff report pretty much covers basically what it is
we' re looking for this evening. Hope that you agree with it' s
recommendation that she spoke to .
Erhart moved , Emmings seconded to close the public hearing . All voted in II
favor and the motion carried . The public hearing was closed .
Batzli : I think I only had one real question. That was , the Park and
Recreation Commission reviewed this indicating that 2 acres of parkland
along the eastern boundary be dedicated. Is that something we' re trying
to be addressing in this preliminary plat? '
Olsen: There essentially already is a deal established between Opus and
the City and the Park and Rec Commission, they agreed that to receive that II
outlot of 2 acres for parkland to be combined with the Lake Susan Park.
Batzli : Which outlot are we looking at?
Olsen: Outlot B.
Batzli : Is that condition, is it to be deeded to the City? What ' s the
deal?
Olsen : It can be made a condition of the subdivision. Essentially it' s
kind of an internal deal .
r
Batzli : It normally would not be made a condition?
Brown: I think what's going on here is that this may have been covered in
the purchase agreement which at this time I 'm not privy to but I believe
I . , .
Planning Commission Meeting
IOctober 5, 1988 - Page 19
that was incorporated into that purchase agreement and for us to make it a
condition may enforce something else than what was stated in that
agreement . I only say that as a caution . I 'm not sure what the content
was .
Batzli : I guess I will leave it up to staff ' s consideration to determine
' whether it needs to be a condition before Council approval because I 'm
obviously not privy to the purchase contract that you have.
' Bob Worthington: I might be able to shed a little bit of light on that.
As you know, with all subdivisions , the city has the discretion of
imposing the park dedication fee which can be paid in the form of land or
cash. In this instance, because the City an interest in expanding Lake
' Susan Park, we negotiated land as a part of the dedication requirement
with a cash balance and that is why it is a special purchase agreement
stipulation between Rosemount and Opus and the City. So that's basically
why that is a requirement.
Batzli : So that' s already been inserted in a purchase agreement?
' Bob Worthington: That' s right .
Batzli : I guess I 'd just like staff to verify that before it gets to City
litaCouncil . That' s all I have.
Emmings : I don ' t have anything .
' Erhart : Market Blvd . is shown on here as a through street going south .
Is that the plan or is that depending on 2 or 2A?
I : Olsen : 2 or 2A.
Erhart : If it' s 2, which TH 101 goes the existing route, than Market
' 1 Blvd. would end at Lake Drive East?
Olsen: It would not be realigned as it' s shown.
' Erhart: So it would basically T into Lake Drive East .
Olsen: There has been discussion to make a full intersection.
' Erhart: Okay, but we would, this plat it reserves, we' re safe no matter
which way we want to go? Obviously I like developing Rosemount in our
' City. I ' ll be waiting to look at the site plan .
Conrad : I had no questions other than the second point on the recommended
motion. I guess staff is saying it' s probably an unbuildable lot. I
don ' t know that we want , I personally don ' t want to communicate that I
feel it is buildable. I feel real strongly, I think the words you
mentioned , you .didn' t like the terminology. I think it' s fairly weak
' terminology allowing you an alternative but I personally would never set
you up to think that we would be in a position to grant a variance or
variances. I get uncomfortable that we' re setting up parcels that need
. . . Y
Planning Commission Meeting

variances to build and therefore, I feel comfortable with this motion. I I
think it' s still pretty soft, granting an opportunity to Opus to look at
it. Yet on the other hand , I wouldn' t be telling you the truth if I
thought, I would really feel strongly about sticking to Chanhassen' s
ordinances especially when we' re dealing with such a large parcel .
Erhart: Jo Ann, is the potential for 40 foot additional right-of-way '
required off of that Lot 1 there as well?
•
Olsen: For TH 5?
Erhart : Yes .
Olsen : TH 5 is going to be improved to the north of that site.
Erhart: It' s not going to adversely affecting it?
Emmings moved , Batzli seconded that the Planning Commission recommend
approval of Subdivision Request #88-25 as shown on the preliminary plat
stamped "Received September 20, 1988" subject to the following conditions : II
1. Approval of the proposed vacation of Lake Drive East.
2. Lot 1, Block 3 shall be designated as an Outlot and deemed unbuildable
until it has been shown that development of the site can occur while
maintaining the required setbacks from the roads and wetland .
