' REFERRAL AGENCIES ' Fire Inspector Attachment #2 Building Department Attachment #3 Asst. City Engineer Attachment #4 BACKGROUND The Lyman Lumber Company first received PUD approval for a pro- posed plan to develop the 18 acre site in 1975 (Attachment #5) . ' The plan was then amended in 1979 (Attachment #6 ) . The approved four phases essentially developed the whole site. As of today, approximately 3/4 of the site has been developed with the southeast corner still undeveloped. Site Plan Review Analysis ' The applicant is proposing to construct a 30 ,000 square foot building with a loading and dock area, and a proposed working and staging area located in the outside storage area to the west of the building expansion. I Lyman Lumber Site Plan y e e July 13 , 1988 Page 3 ' The area of the proposed building expansion, parking area and outside storage and staging area is located in the southeast corner of the site, where there currently exists a large grove of mature trees . The proposed building addition will be used for a window storage, assembly, and for prefinishing moldings and doors . The applicant is providing a paved parking area adjacent to the building addition to provide the required 20 parking spa- ces for the proposed addition. Directly to the east of the new parking area is the proposed gravel storage and staging area. The storage area will be used for lumber type building materials stored for transfer to trucks . ' Site Requirements The proposed building addition is 30 ,000 square feet which results in the need for 20 additional parking spaces. The required parking spaces are being provided by the applicant. The applicant will be grading the site so that there is a slope from the streets up to the proposed building addition and outside storage area. The applicant is also proposing a 6 foot wood fence to completely screen the outside storage area and required landscaping and lighting. Lot Coverage The zoning ordinance permits a maximum lot coverage of 70% in the IOP District. Lot coverage is defined by the zoning ordinance as that portion or percentage of a lot that is covered by impervious surfaces . Staff has always interpreted lot coverage as including any building, parking, and outside storage areas . If the maximum lot coverage of is 70% then the city and staff has always required 30% open space including green space and landscaped areas. A large percentage of the subject site is gravel storage areas which technically could be considered not impervious but these areas would be considered lot coverage and not open space. With the proposed building addition and outside storage area, the total lot coverage exceeds 70% by 6% for a total 76% lot coverage. The approved plan amendment from 1979 resulted in 74 .5% lot coverage . Therefore, it would be difficult to enforce a 70% lot coverage when the proposed expansion is in conformance with a previously approved plan. To offset the amount of lot coverage and tree removal, the appli- cant is proposing additional landscaping, over what is required, around the outside storage area and is also proposing to remove the existing chain link fence on the northeast side of the property into the site approximately 30 to 40 feet and then to seed, sod or landscape that area outside of the fence. The moving of the fence and creation of open space will decrease the lot coverage to 74% which is consistent with the 1979 plan. The applicant is I Lyman Lumber Site Plan July 13 , 1988 Page 4 also proposing to remove and replace the chain link fence with a wood fence which would totally screen the storage and activity area located on the northeast portion of the site. ' Miscellaneous The city received a letter from a resident of Eden Prairie who ' lives north of the subject site. The resident is unhappy with the lights over the storage area and the hours of activity (Attachment #7) . The applicant has agreed to adjust the lights but stated that the short business season requires longer acti- vity periods . The city could consider ways to alleviate the noise problem such as setting certain hours, buffering or limiting activities after certain hours to areas of the site more ' removed from the residential district. The site is industrial and the activities are permitted and to limit the business acti- vity too much may not be appropriate. ' Drainage, Grading and Utilities In his memo, the Assistant City Engineer addresses the site plan ' in reference to grading, drainage and utilities . RECOMMENDATION ' Other than the lot coverage requirement, the proposed site plan for the 30 ,000 square foot building expansion and outside storage and staging area meets the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Therefore, staff is recommending the following: "The Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan Review ' #88-9 as shown on the plan stamped "Received July 6 , 1988" with the following conditions: ' 1 . The applicant shall provide an amended landscaping plan which provides evergreens interspersed with the proposed maples and additional landscaping on the east and south side of the pro- posed expansion. 2 .

Section 20-1123 of the City Zoning Ordinance states Ithat all parking areas and access roads be paved with a dust-free, 1 Planning Commission July 7, 1988 Page 2 all-weather surface and concrete curb and gutter . The proposed parking area south of the proposed building addition is shown as a bituminous surface as in accordance with the City' s ordinance. Curb and gutter will be required for this bituminous parking area on all sides of the parking lot. Grading The grading plan calls for the removal of the existing grove of trees along the southeast corner of the site. Drainage The applicant has maintained the predeveloped runoff rate by the use of restrictions on the storm sewer inlets and ponding on the proposed staging area. This practice has been approved with various other subdivision along with Watershed approval. It should be noted that the applicant needs to provide the City calculations which verify that the existing storm sewer system at the intersection of West 78th Street and West 187th Street will provide adequate capacity for this additional flow all the way to the end of the outfall for a 100-year frequency storm event. These calculations shall be submitted as part of the final review process. Erosion Control The grading plan has proposed a silt fence barrier along the entire downstream side of the site. The City' s standard detail for the installation of erosion control should be shown on the grading plan. Recommended Conditions ' 1. The applicant shall obtain and comply with all conditions of the Watershed District Permit . 2. The applicant shall provide the City with calculations which verify adequate capacity for the existing water and sanitary sewer services. As an alternative, the applicant shall pro- vide the City with details for the installation of new ser- vices for the proposed building addition. 3. The applicant shall provide the City Engineer for approval calculations which verify that the existing storm sewer system along West 78th Street will adequately handle the additional capacity due to this application. These calcula- tions shall give detailed flow values for the proposed site and the capacity for the existing site to the end of the out- fall. I I Planning Commission July 7, 1988 Page 3 I 4. Erosion control shall be in place prior to the commencement t of any grading , and once in place shall remain in place I throughout the duration of construction. The developer shall be responsible for making periodic checks and repairing any damaged erosion controls promptly. 5 . Details regarding the pavement section for the parking area and the proposed staging area shall be submitted to the City IEngineer as part of the final review process . 6.

I PROPOSED PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN.:- LYMAN LUMBER: David Ohde, B.R.W. , Tom Lowe, and Bill Ziemer were present. Tom Lowe explained some of the II'' background of Lyman Lumber and what they propose to do. They operate ...lumber yards in Excelsior, Wayzata, and Annandale, a component plant in Long Lake, and a millwork plant in Excelsior. They have experienced substantial growth and find they are being crowded out. The site in Chanhassen will have no retail sales.

The site is located on the north side of Highway 5 in Hennepin County. They need to provide rail service to ---' the millwork plant, component plant, and lumber distribution yard. A frontage road is proposed along the north edge of Highway 5. A temporary access onto Highway 5 is proposed. The site has 7-8 acres of tree cover, f approximately 3-31/2 acres of trees may be removed. The millwork operation il will be completely enclosed in a 42,500 square foot building of tilt up concrete or architectural block. Box cars on the rail spur in the center ti of the site will be screened by grade changes . The majority of the traffic into and on the site will be Lyman trucks. Three types of storage structur are proposed in the lumber distribution yard; two completely enclosed warehouses, a 3 sided storage building and umbrella sheds.

Public Present : IName Address John Waldren Applicant Dwight Larson BRW Alan Nordby Eden Prairie I Jo Ann Olsen presented the staff report on both the Conditional Use Permit and the Site Plan Review. IEmmings : One thing it said that kind of confused me. It said they' re going to move a fence and somehow that reduces the amount of coverage on Ithe site? I don' t understand how that . . . Olsen: One of the original plans , the fence was located up into here. IEmmings : The point is Jo Ann , isn' t coverage the amount of impervious surface taken as a percentage on the amount of land. Regardless of where the fence is , there wouldn' t be more land . IOlsen: No, they are removing lot coverage. They' re moving the fence into an outdoor storage area and moving it up into there so they are providing Igreen space. Emmings : So they are converting some impervious area to open? IOlsen: Technically impervious is still debatable but yes . t Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 14 1 Emmings : Is the applicant here? Do you wish to add anything to the staff' s report or have any comments on the conditions that have been imposed by Staff in their report? John Waldren : I 'm with Lyman Lumber Company. The only thing that I might add is that somehow we are viewing this as a continuation of development that we originally talked to Chanhassen in 1975 when we located here. The II actual construction started in 1979. For your information, the building that' s going to be added on to the ABC building is going to be exactly like that. It' s going to be painted the same color . Same precast concrete. All that . This one shows the landscaping that is required and that's not what we' re proposing to do. What Jo Ann showed you up here and double the trees that are on there. I think it would be good for Dwight Larson from BRW to show you the landscaping plan that we've been talking to Jo Ann and Barb. I 've added a few to that because they said they'd probably like it better if we could do some clustering of the trees and have some evergreens in there and things like that . Dwight can show you that. I don' t know if you want to get into it. There' s a couple of conditions on there that we had questions on. Emmings : Why don' t you go ahead. ' John Waldren : Dwight can go over the landscaping and then there' s , where the parking is, it calls for curb and gutter and he wanted to talk about 11 whether that really does impede the drainage flow there because it' s right next to the gravel storage area. Basically it was just to show you the clustering and your access in. Dwight? , Dwight Larson: For the record my name is Dwight Larson and I 'm with BRW. I don' t think I need to dwell greatly on the landscaping because I think II it's pretty well covered. I will just say, as Jo Ann has said, along this side, the south and the east side of the site , the applicant is pretty much doubling the amount of plant tree material that the ordinance requires and at the request of staff , we have used a mixture of conifers , Black Hill Spruce in this case, with Red Maples. Also at their request, instead of simply having a line of trees , we' ve clustered them as shown on this plan. With that I would like to move along to condition 12 on the site plan recommendations which has to do with curb and gutter along the edge of the parking area. As this run shows , the applicant is proposing to pave this parking area which is required by the ordinance and use a gravel storage and staging area. Condition 12 in the staff memo recommends that curb and gutter be placed along the edge of the parking area. Normally when curb and gutter is used , it ' s used for one or two reasons . One is as a barrier or two, to help drainage. In this case , since there' s no sidewalk along here. There ' s no street. There ' s no area for pedestrian would normally would be walking or an area that we need to protect like landscaping, it doesn' t seem necessary that we would need a barrier at that point . As far as the issue of drainage, the drainage scheme for this entire area is for the runoff to surface flow, sheet flow in this direction to a detention pond and an inlet in this corner . By putting the curb and gutter along here, we would actually be interrupting that normal flow and instead of having sheet flow across the staging area , we would have a situation where the flow would be concentrated down in Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 15 this area which would produce more potential for erosion and those sorts of problems. So on behalf of the applicant, I would like to request that ' the item 12, that that one be deleted so as not to require that curb and gutter be required along the paved area. John, would you like me to discuss the fencing issue also? Okay. The conditions in both the special use application and the site plan application have required and the ' applicant is providing a wooden fence that' s completely opaque all along the east and the south sides but the applicant is concerned a little bit with vandalism. With a wooden fence the slats could easily be pulled down I and people could more easily get through a wooden fence than a chain - linked fence. The applicant would like the sections, I believe it' s item 3 in the site plan memo and I think it's number 2 in the special use request that have to do with removing the chain link fence. The applicant ' would like to have a chain link fence immediately behind the wooden fence so that it wouldn' t be visible from outside of the site but yet would provide the protection that he needs for all of the merchandise that he would be storing . Emmings: So the height of that chainlink fence would be 6 feet also? Dwight Larson: Is that right John? It would be the same height as the wood fence but it would be behind the wood fence and not visible from the street. I would like to look at the sight lines that will be provided ' with the fence that the applicant will build . The top drawing would be the view from 78th Street from the frontage road and you can see from the 3 1/2 foot eye height on the road with a 6 foot fence and an 8 foot stack ' of lumber or whatever they would be storing in here, even if it were moved over immediately adjacent to the berm that the applicant is proposing , you could see that stack clearly would not be visible from the street. The ' same situation applies on the east side of this site . Emmings: Are you representing to us that 8 feet is high as any lumber gets stacked? ' John Waldren : The designated use for that area is a staging area which would be the loads are put together to take out to the job sites and those ' have to go on the truck bed and the highest they can go is a 8 foot level . So that would be out in that area. In the area that's to the north where we' re screening a lot of the east side, you will , if you drive up there , you will still see some of the tops of the bunks of lumber back in through ' the yard there. It' s just that as the yards and trees mature, you' ll see less and less of that area but out front, yes it will be what fits on a truck and that' s 8 foot high. As Dwight is showing , if you put it right to the edge and that would be the last place we'd put it because then we wouldn ' t want to go any further down the staging area with it. Where the trucks get loaded is at the other end of this . Dwight Larson : Unless you have any questions for John or myself, I believe that's all that we want to present. ' Emmings : Before we open it up to any more comments , do you want to react to the two proposals that they've made. Number 12 on the curb and gutter? Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 16 Olsen : I ' ll defer that one to Larry but as far as the fencing. That' s fine with us. Brown : The curb and gutter , after being reviewed from the City Engineer , he had stated that the curb and gutter, number one will help maintain the pavement end from disruption. Number two, the plans show a storm sewer system, a manhole is shown about in the middle of the driveway for the proposed parking area and it was the City Engineer ' s feeling that the drainage could be directed from this parking lot area to that manhole so it would serve as a catch basin. Instead of having sheet flow across the II- staging area, have it picked up by that underground storm sewer system and route it through that system. That was the reason for the curbing. This also would, as Dwight eluded to, we felt that it was an advantage to have a curb there. To have traffic flow concentrated so they would have a defined area and not be free to enter the staging area at any particular point. That was a strong recommendation. Alan Nordby: I live in Eden Prairie on the north side of the lumber yard. II My question I guess is, is this going to increase the volume of traffic? There will be lumber and so forth in that area beyond what it is II currently. As to the letter that you received , we too have concerns about the amount of light and the amount of noise that we had at night particularly and obviously do not want that to increase and would prefer to have it decreased. Emmings : Is there traffic from this? Alan Nordby: No , the traffic within that . What they' re doing is they' re moving that lumber with the forklifts and so forth and at 4 : 00-5: 00 in the morning we hear this bang, bang , bang , crash, bang. This type of stuff that has a tendency to make it hard to sleep. That was my concerns. If they' re going to increase the noise level of traffic in the interior . Emmings: Maybe Mr . Waldren, could you address that? John Waldren: The hours that we do work there vary because we' re supplying the construction industry and it' s a seasonal business. The copy of the letter suggested to restrict the hours from 7 : 30 to 7 : 00 p.m. at night. For an example what would happen, number one we probably would lose a lot of customers because all our competitors are able to be on the job site between 6:00 and 7 : 00 in the morning so we wouldn' t be able to give the service to our customers . Number two , if we didn' t start work until 7: 30, at that time of day on TH 5, the traffic is backed up all the way to Chanhassen so it would be 10: 00 by the time we got to some job sites. Emmings : His question, as I heard it was , with the addition that ' s being .' made here going to increase the amount of traffic or the amount of noise coming out of that over a level that it is now? John Waldren: I don' t know exactly what you ' re asking because in one case II we' re cutting down the yard space toward that end of the yard . At least we' re knocking 30 to 40 or 2% of our lot coverage we' re knocking off in 1 • Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 17 that direction of the yard which will put it up in the front part of the yard. We're using it for a staging area so the trucks are getting loaded ' in the morning and you' re going to have the most work traffic right there because it' s going to be loading a whole bunch of trucks. Emmings : So some of your forklift guys will in fact be moving to the TH 5 end of the site? John Waldren : Some of them would but I honestly can ' t tell you exactly I which way it's going to go because we' re doing this expansion because the - place is getting more towards capacity with what' s there right now so there will be some increased business that' s coming out of there but the delivery times are limited. We can' t go onto most of the job sites before a certain time in the morning with the delivery activities but there are going to be times where the contractors want to have their , most contractors want stuff out in one day. If we can ' t get it, they go ' someplace else. I can sympathize with you guys right across the way but I don ' t think we ' re doing anything that' s against the use of that site. ' Emmings: I think we can also assume that they' re not increasing the size of their building so they have less work to do. John Waldren: We' re increasing the size of the millwork building, not the lumber yard part of it. The millwork building is actually the facility that' s at capacity right now. This looks like the last development on that site because we' re at maximum so we figured we might as well do it all at one time and we' re done with it. Emmings : Anyone have further comments here? Is there anybody else here that wants to be heard on this from the public? Batzli moved , Conrad seconded to close the public hearing . All voted in ' favor and the motion carried. The public hearing was closed. Conrad : Out of curiousity, the original site plan was approved , we ' granted more impervious surface than we should have. Olsen: It' s not really clear why. We did check all the Minutes in the ' file. . . Conrad : But it looks like the applicant is doing some things that I think are appropriate to fulfill the intent of that ordinance. I guess I 've got ' two concerns . In terms of the drainage and the curb, I 'm not sure yet. Larry, in your mind , is it a real strong conviction that we have the curb there? ' Brown: I guess I would say that it' s not a real strong conviction, no . Normally, as Dwight pointed out, the curb is normally essentially for safety reasons . The reasons that are stated are still valid but if that curb was not there, it' s certainly not. . . Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 18 Conrad : Do we improve drainage by having the curb there? Do we improve anything by having the curb there? There are ways to engineering to engineer the water through the manhole and off to the holding wherever but I are we improving the drainage? Brown: By having the manhole that' s shown on the plan, turned into a catch basin and having that drainage picked up through the storm sewer system is no longer having to run over that gravel staging area. Conrad: And is that good or bad? ' Brown: That is, in my opinion, good because once the water has a tendency, we've all seen the tendency of pavement to be affected by water due to freeze-thaw cycles and therefore it' s better to get that water as soon as we can into a storm sewer system and have it conveyed through the storm sewer system versus having it run over land into a gravel surface into or along side and have it puddle alongside the edge of the bituminous I and go through the freeze-thaw cycle and have a ragged section of bituminous. Normal practice would like to get that into the storm sewer system as quickly as possible. Not that we have 25% slopes out here that I are going to cause an erosion problem but we usually like to see it in the storm sewer system. Conrad : The second and only other issue is the noise. I do emphathize with the neighbors and even though they are in Eden Prairie they still are very close to Chanhassen . Eden Prairie folks work in Chanhassen. They do a lot of things here. They spend their money in downtown. I 'm concerned with their impression. I think the noise is a factor to me. I guess a 5: 00 construction site across from homes is a problem. I don' t know that this application is going to change anything yet it ' s also a time that we can take a look and say should we do something about that noise? Because it is, they are doing what we deemed that area can do, I think the applicant is on fairly sound ground yet on the other hand, hours of operation is certainly within our control . When there' s not much of a transition area, you can only have railroad tracks there. I ' ll ask the neighbor , what kind of noise are you experiencing? Are you talking about , is this a frequent occurrence? Is this every morning? Is it during the summer I suspect? Alan Nordby: It' s typically during the summer , the noise . I would say practically every morning . Conrad : And when you say 5: 00, do you mean 5 : 00 or are you exaggerating? Alan Nordby: No. Generally it' s somewhere inbetwen 4 : 00 and 5: 00 that it I starts . I would say at least 3 days out of the 5 it starts by 5: 00. Conrad: Barbara or Jo Ann, I suppose the only thing that we have at our , disposal to change this would be berming or limit hours. Olsen: It' s real low in the back. It is heavily vegetated down there. ' Conrad : So berming ' s out? Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 19 Olsen : Berming would prevent sound more than the vegetation. . . Conrad: Probably not practical . What are our standards for industrial area in terms of hours of operation? Do we have any? ' Olsen: We usually limit hours to the contractor ' s yard where it' s a conditional use . I don' t know that we have limited hours in the industrial . . . I - Conrad : Annette , go ahead . I 'm just going to leave it there for the time being. I don' t know Steve. I don' t know what to say on this one. I think 5 : 00 noise is a problem, in my mind and although this particular ' request I can' t say is going to change so I don' t know that this application for expansion should be held up. Yet on the other hand , it' s the only thing that we can review noise as it affects neighbors and more ' than likely I 'd like to hear what other people are thinking in terms of the impact of the noise in the neighborhood to the north. ' Ellson : I think you' re probably right although I think the time to have asked him was when he originally came and wanted a site in Chanhassen. I don' t think you can after , what was it 1975 or something , when they started and we said, go right ahead. Be a lumber yard. Be in Chanhassen. ' You know the builder ' s requirements and to come back 8 years later and say, by the way we don' t like the noise that comes with your business. I think if you' re really concerned with that , it should be right when they ' come in. If you want a lumber yard in Chanhassen, say 7: 30. Now do you still want to build here or not? I don' t think we can say, build here , give you all these four phases approved and then later on come back and ' say. . . Conrad : And there weren ' t any neighbors across the railroad tracks at that time either . Ellson : That ' s another thing I was going to say. When someone builds right next to the area where it is zoned from residential to something ' else, that' s also their responsibility. Who are going to be my neighbors? To look into things like that too. Conrad : But empathize with the neighbors who moved in and they' re not ' going to check and say do you work at 5 : 00 in the morning so on the other hand , buyer beware is something they should be aware but really, are you going to go over and say, what kind of expansion? Are you going to really work at 5 : 00 in the morning? Ellson : I think they probably were right from the inception . Being a ' lumber yard , that's probably year round so I can' t see limiting their hours . I think that 'd be terrible business for them. It'd be awful of us to come back and say, now cut off 2 hours in the morning and 4 hours at night or something like that . I think they' ve been a good industry for ' the community. I 'm impressed that they've gone above and beyond some of the fencing because I don' t like the wire fences much and they' re putting in the opaque fence. They're doing extra trees and landscaping and they 1 Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 20 , seem to be following every one of the staff ' s recommendation as possible. Here we just had somebody who fought tooth and nail in not trying to cooperate with us . I 've seen their history and it' s very cooperative and I like their plan. I 'd like to see it go and that it' s approved. I can see allowing the curb and gutter . If the City Engineer thinks that that' s important, than I would think it' s important. I would waive it if it wasn' t a very strong conviction on his part . , Batzli : I think we need a 35W type traffic noise barrier, is what we probably really need but since that' s not going to happen . I don' t know - what to do about the noise. I can empathize because I live in a neighborhood that' s being built and every morning , all summer for the last couple years at about 6: 30, which isn't as early as this gentleman is being waken up, but the graders start grading and the carpenters start pounding. I 'm kind of going to miss them I think when they' re gone but in the meantime it' s aggravating and I empathize with that and I don' t know what to do about it. I can' t help you Ladd. I did have a question about condition 11 for Larry. He wants to see details for the proposed control structure on the southeast corner of the proposed staging area. I didn' t know what he was talking about there . Brown: The plans show, if you look on page 2 of the plan set, the plan shows the ponding area , a proposed control structure, a catch basin with restrictive plate. My motive there and I made reference in one of the other conditions, they are hooking into the existing catch basin system along the frontage road and I 'm real concerned about the capacity of the downstream line that goes out to TH 5 ultimately. Since that is the case , II I need more detail on that structure to find out what kind of flow is going to be going through there . Batzli : Does the applicant here know what he needs to see by this ' language? Dwight Larson: Yes . I Batzli : Because I didn' t know. I guess I 'm all in favor of allowing them to put a chain link fence hidden behind their wooden fence that they' re required to do . I think that condition 13 of the site plan should not only comply with the conditions of the Building and Fire Inspector but applicable law and those are my comments . Otherwise I think it' s a good plan. I like the fact that they' re finally putting maple trees in there and I then I noticed that the staff wanted to put something else in too, but okay. Headla : I don' t want to restrict their working hours . We wouldn' t do it I for the Press. We wouldn' t do it for DataSery but I 'd like to work the problem in a different way. Ladd , you asked the question and I never heard the answer to the gentleman from Eden Prairie. What kind of noise do you hear? Alan Nordby: Typically what I hear is the clanking and banging of the forklift tractors and I don' t know if it' s dropping the large pallets of lumber or what . There' s banging and crash type of noises that I 'm Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 21 ' assuming it' s the dropping of large pallets of lumber . ' Headla: You know some way you could work that problem to reduce that type of noise, assuming they' re dropping their loads of lumber? Is that a reasonable thing to do? Is there someway we could work out that problem? ' John Waldren : Probably where some of that is coming from, like say a rail car is sitting there and they've got make sure they' re got it seeded on the forks good so they hit the side of it. It' s not too often where ' you' re dropping the lumber . You want to get it in as good of shape as you can but usually what they' re doing in boxcars like that. . . They might be, they stop to do something and the forks go down to the ground because it' s ' a hazard to leave them up. So everytime you get out of the forklift, they drop their forks down. I 'd have to go and walk around the yard and listen to the noises and see exactly what somebody is doing . ' Headla: I really think that' s a much better way to work the problem and maybe it' s just if the operator ' s aware of the noise. Training of an operator. You might get more results , minimize the problem that way than 1 putting up your berm or whatever . I 'd kind of like to see that looked at. See some operator training if you feel the operators can reduce that type of noise. ' John Waldren : Is the worse problem at 5: 00 rather than at night then? Alan Nordby: Typically, because it is so early and there are no other ' noises , railroad traffic or anything else, that it' s more obvious at that time of day. Headla : Is there any reason that we couldn' t have them put some landscaping in the back? Some of the trees there? Even some maples . Something that grows fast and they give you quick cover . Olsen: There are some existing . . . John Waldren : The only part that' s not covered right now is to cover the ' railroad where it comes onto the property. Headla : How high is that? Olsen : It ' s mature vegetation. It looks like what ' s up in front. Headla: The one thing I think should be in there is your lights are awful ' high. I can see why you would put them that way at one time but now I 'm wondering if you wouldn ' t lower them on the poles . I think you could get the same effect. John Waldren : We' re planning on doing is any lights pointing in that direction, we' re planning on either moving them to the other side and put them south than end up putting lighting on the far side. Headla : So there shouldn' t be any visible then to the north? I 1 Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 22 1 John Waldren : We' re willing to change that around . We weren ' t aware that II it was causing a problem. Alan Nordby: Typically it' s in the wintertime when the foliage drops off the trees that it's a problem. Headla : And that ' s when the lights are on most the time. John Waldren: We keep the lights on for security. Headla : That' s all I have. 1 Emmings: I would like to , if it makes sense, I would like to add a condition to the conditional use permit number 3 that we grant the conditional use permit as long as there' s compliance with all the conditions in the site plan. Just so those two are tied together. Does that make sense to do that? ' Headla : I did have one more question. Does the Fire Department require any additional equipment due to this structure? ' Brown : No . Emmings : I guess I basically feel like the noise is unfortunate and ' I don ' t know what to do about it either . I don' t think their hours of operation should be curtailed . I know there are mornings at my house when I 'm awaken by traffic on TH 7 where I wished people wouldn' t drive down TH 7 and this may be a little different than that but I think Annette is exactly right. I think the time to look at this was when this first came in. He' s got a huge investment out there and they' re probably operating now pretty much the way they were back then and I don' t see that this is going to, it' s not like they' re doubling their business out there or the outside business that makes the noise or something like that. It' s not that big a leap. I just think it' s just awfully hard to deal with this and I think Dave is exactly right. If they can be a little sensitive and I think they' ve shown that they are. They' ll move the lights . They' re putting up two fences which I think is pretty extraordinary that they' re II willing to do that . If they could be sensitive to their operations in the early morning hours to curtail some of that noise, that would be the best way to solve that problem to the extent it can be solved . John Waldren: Can I make a couple of comments? I don' t know how much responsibility we have to the residents over there. Maybe they should talk to Eden Praire because typically, Eden Prairie had this whole site, this industrial site next to a residential site within their domain and they probably require some kind of sound buffer but yet they let a builder in Eden Prairie build something without a sound buffer . . .so I would sort of suggest to you that. . .to Eden Prairie to have a sound buffer put up because it drops way away. Like Jo Ann says , it would be awful hard to put a berm there but on their side it doesn' t drop away. It' s on the higher side of the railroad tracks . Maybe, I don' t know if Eden Prairie would end up doing anything at this date in there that would help from that end . In the lumber yard , covered storage is at a premium so you Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 23 don' t usually put them all in the building . A lot of times you put them around the outside. There is a very good possibility that at some point ' in time in the future that we would do some more covered storage or something like that. We will be sensitive to the neighbors on that side and the first place that we can look at is putting the lumber . . . We are sensitive. We try to be good neighbors to the 30 or 40 people that built on that side. When we originally built there in 1979, we went to considerable expense to put up a nice berm at the street level area and then with this 10 foot retaining wall type of thing where the City went in when they were putting the road and took the fence down and took all the - dirt from the berm that we put up and used it to construct the road . When they put the fence back right along side the road. Now we' re taking and moving that fence back where it was originally so we can get the lot coverage that we had before. So, we' re trying to be good neighbors. Conrad : What do you think about the curb? Emmings: I think that should be negotiated between them and I have no way to even think about it. ' Conrad : Let' s ask the applicant what they think? Is that a hardship to put that in? Tell us more. John Waldren : We' re willing to do whatever the engineers says at the time we submit the plans for approval . If he says you've got to have it, we' ll do it. If BRW talks to them in the meantime because they haven' t had much ' time to go over it. He was busy and they' re busy so if they get something to it included in there that says we need it , we ' ll do it . If they talk and they say we don ' t . . . Emmings : I guess my impression would be , since it' s from our City Enginer, we ought to put it in there and if they can talk him out of it before it gets to City Council , then they can . . . Conrad: That' s a good way to do it, if you can talk him out of it. ' Emmings : Anybody else have more comments? Let ' s take the site plan motion. The first motion that appears in the packet. Conrad : I' ll make a recommendation that the Planning Commission approves the Site Plan Review #88-9 as shown on the plan stamped "Received July 6, 1988" with the conditions listed by staff with a revisions to point number 3 where we might reword it that would say the applicant shall , instead of the word replace, the applicant shall cover the chainlink fence with a wood fence to screen the existing outdoor storage. And with the addition of point 14 which would read that the applicant shall submit a proposal as ' to how they feel they can limit noise between the hours of 5: 00 and 7 : 00 p.m. , possibly through the use of on-site signage or other training type of things that could be done within their own company. Batzli : I ' ll second it . I Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 24 1 Conrad : Under discussion, all I 'm doing is saying , I think what I heard here was really right. I don' t want to impose anything on these folks . They' re doing some things that I like and I think what they can do is take a look at their operation. Even something just as simple as a sign for some of the new opeartors saying watch the noise level . Be careful . That seems simple but I think that type of thing out there makes some sense of the fact that there may be some people sleeping . What I 'm asking for is II simply a little letter by the time it comes back to City Council that says we recommend that we will implement these type of things to help our neighbors in Eden Prairie out. I think that would show the good faith - effort that I know you can do. Emmings: Another thing along that line too Ladd would be, Mr . Waldren said they need to load up materials to get them out to job sites and then he also indicated some on loading rail cars . Maybe if it is from unloading rail cars , maybe they don' t have to do it at that time. I don' t know but if they could look at whether or not they do. ' Batzli : What were the hours that you said? Conrad : I said between 5 : 00 and 7 : 00. ' Batzli : Are you just talking about the morning? Conrad : Yes. Batzli : So you don' t mind that they' re unloading and loading at 11: 30? Conrad: I could back that out and just open it up to just general comments that I might have if you'd like me to. I guess those are the II hours that bother me the most and that's what I heard. I think maybe they had some other recommendations . Batzli : I was comfortable with that . I was just curious that we' re II intending to genrally limit the noise outside of an area where we consider regular business hours . John Waldren : You guys are getting into a touchy subject when you mention I any hours at all because we are willing to do, it' s not a problem to do signage or training . We do regular safety meetings about every 2 weeks so these sort of things we end up bringing up. The next meeting will be one of the things that' s brought up. I ' ll ask the manager of that operation to go and I ' ll probably go with him, to see what exact noises are there and to see if we can do something about them. I 'd be willing to I write a letter that the first place, there' s going to be more outside storage, not covered storage, the first place that we would consider would be along that back fence to act as a noise buffer . At 5: 00 to 7 : 00 in the morning in the summertime is the prime time where if the contractor wants his load , it ' s got to be in that time. Emmings: I think all he' s saying is , take a look at what you' re doing during those hours . If there are things that are noise genrators that you don' t have to do at that time, maybe you could tell us about that or if Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 25 there are little things that you can do to make it quieter , tell us about that or tell us that you' re going to put up signs. He ' s just saying, look ' at your operation in those hours . See what the noise generaters are outside that the neighbors are hearing and get back to the City about what you might be willing to do about it. ' Conrad : I 'm not asking you to change your operation but I am asking kind of to reemphasize your training program and if that' s a little sticker that goes on the horn of the forklift truck that says neighbors are still I sleeping, something that simple. Those are the types of things that I 'm looking for that I think you can do. I think that' s just good management and I think you'd want to do that. That type of stuff. ' Headla : I 've got a question. Does that meet the sign ordinance Barb? When he said signage, I was thinking, I thought, are we putting 4 x 8 sheets of plywood on the back wall now? I had trouble with the ' terminology there and I understand what you want and I think that' s fine. Emmings : Is there any further discussion on the motion? ' Headla : Yes. I don' t like the timing . Emmings : Elaborate . Headla : I don ' t like any time restrictions on that . ' Emmings: You mean to diminish noise at those times? Headla : Submit a plan as to how they might minimize noise during the ' whole 24 hours . Emmings : Do you want to amend the motion and see if you get a second? ' Headla : Alright. I 'd like to amend the motion that we do not specify time but that we ask the applicant to work on a plan that will minimize noise during the full working time. ' Emmings : Is there a second? The amendment fails for a lack of second .

Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 27 All voted in favor except Headla who opposed and the motion carried . ' Headla: I think we ought to be in effect for the whole working period . Emmings : Is there a motion on the Conditional Use Permit? Headla : I 'd like to make a motion that the Planning Commission approve IPermit Request #88-8 with the recommendations of the Planning Staff. Batzli : I ' ll second it for discussion purposes. I think there were some changes. ' Emmings : I had proposed a number 3 that said that we include a condition of compliance with all conditions of the Site Plan approval and I think if we put that in as the only condition and wipe out these two conditions that are down here, we'd really have everything wouldn' t we? Because both of those are included in the site plan. ' Olsen: Yes . Headla : Say that again . ' Emmings : If we took out 1 and 2 in the staff report and just had one condition and that condition is compliance with all the conditions of Site ' Plan approval . In other words, they have to do all those things in order to have their conditional use permit. That ' s all we really need. ' Headla : That' s what this is about . Aren ' t these the two deviations to the Site Plan requirements? Batzli : No , those are in the Site Plan. ' Headla: Or the builder ' s requirements . These are the only two exceptions in what we require . ' Emmings : No , they' re not exceptions . They' re just conditions that are imposed on the conditional use permit. I guess what I 'm saying is , why don' t we just make sure they comply with everything that we ' ve already ' imposed on them and then let them have their conditions . Batzli : Or would you just like to make it a third condition? ' Emmings : I don' t care. ' Headla : I 'd feel more comfortable with it as a third condition . What ' s the disadvantage to doing that? Emmings : Because 1 and 2 are already included as conditions under the ' Site Plan approval. That' s all I was looking to be more efficient but if you want to add it as a third one . I 'd just like to see them tied together is all . Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 28 Batzli moved , Conrad seconded an amendment to install a third condition which reads, the applicant shall comply with all conditions established on Site Plan Request #88-9. All voted in favor of the amendment and the moiton carried. Batzli : Do we want to make condition 2 to correspond to the condition ' that Ladd proposed in condition 3 in the Site Plan regarding covering of the chain link fence? Emmings : To be consistent we should do it that way. ' Conrad moved, Batzli seconded an amendment to change the second condition ' to replace the word "replace" with the word "cover" .

City Planner City of Chanhassen I 690 Coulter Street Chanhassen , MN 55317 RE : Early Morning Noise at. our Chanhassen Distribution Yard IDear Jo Ann ' I At the request of the Planning Commission , I met with Elmer Aagard who is our manager at the `:hanhassen Di.> tribution Yard to discuss early mor'riirig noise problems . For three mornings Is last: week we kept track oC !:hat noi ,,c. were being caused by our I equipment between 5 . 00 a m . to 0 : 00 ,a . m . The loudest noise seems to be coming from the forks on the lift trucks rattling when we drive across the railroad tracks . There was also noise I generated by normal forklift engines running , semi trucks driving along Highway 5 and one morning there was a freight which came through and generated considerable noise . To I minimize the noises at. that time of the morning , we are going to do the following : II - Post a memo making our employees aware of our neighbors concerns and ask them to be aware of and concerned about noise at that time of the morning . 2 . Ask them not to do any unnecessary revving of engines . I 3 . Whenever possible , take another route through the yard rather than drive over the railroad tracks with empty forks . I 4 . Concentrate as much activity as we can in the early morning by the sheds on the west sic , of the yard rather than in the open yard area on the east side of the yard . I 5 At whatever point in the future we decide to add more covered storage area , we will look at the area along the north fence first so those buildings would be an Iadded sound barrier . JUL 2 © 1988 Iera OF hASSLIV July 20 , 1988 Ms . Jo Ann Olson Page -2- 1 It is unfortunate that any noise we are generating is causing a problem in the new residential area to the north of our Yard , but we honestly have not changed the basic hours which we work at different times of the year or the type of equipment which we have used since we opened the yard in 1979 . We service a seasonal business and if we do not get the building materials to the contractors when they want them , they will not buy from us . I believe that the steps listed above will help to minimize the noise being generated by us in the early morning hours . If you have any questions , please call me at 474-0844 .
