REFERRAL AGENCIES Fire Inspector Attachment #2 Asst. City Engineer Attachment #3 ' ANALYSIS The applicant is proposing to develop a 25 ,000 square foot office warehouse facility on property zoned IOP. Approximately 21,750 ' square feet will be warehouse and 3 ,200 square feet will be office space. The site is bordered by Quattro Drive on the southeast side of the property and is bordered on the north side ' of the property by the Chicago Milwaukee Railroad. The site has areas of heavy vegetation. The building is situated on the most southwesterly half of the site. The remaining portion of the site will remain as open space. The parking area is located on ' the southwest side of the site with the warehouse closest to the railroad and the office space south of the proposed warehouse. The site is maintaining all of the required setbacks for the IOP District including the recent ordinance amendment for parking and building setbacks adjacent to the railroad tracks (approved by ' Planning Commission at 7/6/88 meeting) . The zoning ordinance is being amended to clarify parking setbacks adjacent to railroad 1 Waytek Site Plan July 13 , 1988 Page 3 tracks and residential districts . The site is being serviced by ' two drives from Quattro Drive. The most southerly drive will be a two way drive and the most northerly drive will be used for one way exit for traffic from the parking area. The applicant is ' providing the required amount of parking and adequate lighting for the site. The applicant is maintaining the 20 foot conser- vation easement adjacent to the railroad tracks and is also main- taining a large portion of the existing trees and brush that will be used for screening. The applicant is providing additional interior and exterior ' landscaping to meet the requirements of the zoning ordinance. There is a large docking area to the southwest of the warehouse. There are existing trees along the perimeter of the lot which will screen this dock area. When the property to the south is developed, it is not guaranteed that this tree line will be main- tained. Therefore, staff is recommending additional landscaping be provided along the seeded strip to the southwest of the parking and docking area to maintain screening of this area should some of the existing vegetation be removed in the future. Staff is also recommending that this additional landscaping include evergreens to provide year round screening. The applicant is locating all of the trash enclosures inside the warehouse, therefore screening of the trash enclosures is not required. The applicant is proposing an 18 square foot sign which is consistent with the zoning ordinance. The total percen- tage of site coverage is 51.3% which is under the 70% maximum allowed for site coverage.

BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 �` (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Larry Brown , Staff Engineer DATE: July 7, 1988 SUBJ: Preliminary Site Plan Review for Lot 3 , Block 1 1 Park One 3rd Addition Planning File No. 88-8 Site Plan , Waytek Incorporated This site is located on the west side of Quattro Drive approxima- tely 400 feet north of West 77th Street. This lot is part of the Park One 3rd Addition Industrial Park which was approved by City Council on September 22, 1986 . Sanitary Sewer 1 Municipal sanitary sewer service is available to the site by an existing 6-inch service which has been extended to the northerly right-of-way boundary. The plan shows a 6-inch sanitary sewer service extending from the building to the property boundary. We find that this plan is acceptable. 1 Watermain Similarly, water service is available to the site by an existing 1 8-inch service which has also been extended to the property boundary. Access 1 The lot has an existing curb cut with a 12-foot bituminous dri- veway along the northeasterly side of the property. The lot also has another 12-foot bituminous driveway which extends from the middle of the site accross the adjacent southerly lot and finally out to Quattro Drive. The plans propose to add an additional 24-foot curb cut into Quattro Drive. It is recommended that concrete cross gutters be placed along this additional 24-foot curb opening. The plans shall indicate a standard detail for this concrete cross gutter. It should be noted that extreme care must be taken to ensure that the bituminous of Quattro Drive is not disturbed. It is expected that the concrete cross gutter be I 1 Planning Commission July 7 , 1988 Page 2 installed without disrupting the new bituminous mat . We find that the traffic movements through the proposed plan is ' acceptable. Grading and Drainage The plans propose grading over a large portion of the site. The plans indicate that the existing wooded areas will be left with little disturbance. The plans adequately maintain the runoff rates that were antici- pated as part of the design of Park One 3rd Addition. The runoff ' rates are well within the design values and are therefore accep- table. It should be noted that the proposed 15-inch storm sewer connection should utilize the existing storm sewer stub which has ' been extended to the property boundary to minimize any disruption to Quattro Drive. The storm sewer plan also adequately addresses rooftop drainage. Erosion Control The plan does not address erosion control and should be addressed as part of the final site plan review process . Recommended Conditions 1 . The applicant shall obtain and comply with all conditions of the Watershed District Permit . ' 2 . A standard concrete cross gutter shall be installed at the intersection of Quattro Drive and the proposed 24-foot dri- veway. This cross gutter shall be installed as per the detail enclosed with this report (refer to Attachment No. 2) . 3 . The applicant and contractor shall take utmost care in ensuring the City that the newly-construction Quattro Drive shall remain intact throughout the construction process . 4. The storm sewer plan shall be revised to show the connection ' to the existing storm sewer stub along the westerly right-of- way boundary for Quattro Drive. 5 . An erosion control plan shall be submitted to the City Engineer for approval prior to final site plan review. 6 . The applicant shall enter into a development contract with the City and provide the necessary financial sureties to guarantee installation of these improvements. 7 . Utility easements shall be placed over all proposed utilities. LAND DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION CITY OF CHANHASSEN 690 Coulter Drive Chanhassen, MN 55317 (612) 937-1900 APPLICANT: L. L.

Jo Ann Olsen and Larry Brown presented the staff report . Emmings: There' s nothing in our staff report that tells us what you folks do. ' Olsen : Storage of wire. Emmings : Okay, I 'd like to know what' s going on here. ' Wayne Larson: I 'm Wayne Larson, president of Waytek. We' re a wholesale distributor of wiring , wire fasteners, covering material . Anything kind of , hardware related. We sell strictly to industry. We have only, as you see on the plans , inside storage. Basically we ' re a pretty clean operation. Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 29 Emmings: It is all indoors? Wayne Larson: 100%. Headla : What kind of wire and insulation? ' Wayne Larson: The wire would be wire that' s used in construction or in automotive or trucks, trailers , battery cables . We' ve got a trailer cable. We have all different types of wires. UL approved wires. Things of this type. Fasteners . You see these little types of fasteners that go on the ends of the wires. All items that you buy called Scotchiocks. 3M ' manufactures them. Things of this type. Cover material , look at the hood of your car , you see that corregated looking material , we sell an awful lot of that. Emmings : Are they right across the tracks from this residential area in Eden Prairie also? ' Wayne Larson: Yes . Emmings : You heard what went on here just now. Is there anything about ' your operation that you think neighbors across the track would find objectionable? Lights and noise? Hours of operation? Wayne Larson: Our hours of operation are from 7: 30 to about 5: 00. ' Emmings : And again it' s all indoors? Wayne Larson: The only thing is we have the semis that back up and that would be on the west side . We have some noise loading and unloading . Emmings : Have you had a chance to read the staff report? ' Wayne Larson : Yes . ' Emmings: And you' re aware of those? Wayne Larson : The builder is here . Craig Larson: I 'm Craig Larson from LL White and Sons . We ' re the designer and contractors of the project . We agree really with all the conditions with staff and the additional screening requirement, I think we ' can reach agreement with what additional is needed and we' re in agreement with that. The other conditions really don' t have any problems. You brought up the question too of the residential area across , as far as the ' construction period, I don' t see that we' ll have any problems either. We very seldom would start anywhere before 7 : 00 in the morning and typically only work until about 5: 00, maybe 6 :00 in the night so I don' t think you'd have any disturbance there . Emmings : Has the staff looked at this from the point of view of a residential neighbor in Eden Prairie? Looked at the proposal . Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 30 Olsen : ' n : Yes , and it is a very quiet industrial use. Emmings: This is not a public hearing is it? Then we' ll just see if ' we've got comments . Dave? Headla : On condition 5, give me a yardstick of how you ' re going to , measure that? Brown: When we reviewed the plan and most of the conditions that have been stated, such as condition 6, takes the utmost care in trying to keep the construction outside of the newly laid street. From what the plan shows here, there should be no reason to disturb the bituminous mat out there. It was simply put on there as a notification to the applicant that II we will be watching that street out there because it is a newly constructed street . The cross gutters , construction of the concrete cross gutter is probably one of the most sensitive issues as far as anything that would come close to disturbing that street. Construction of that can be done without, hopefully without causing any construction to Quattro Drive. ' Headla : I thought you were after that they just break out your roadway of Quattro Drive. Is that what you' re really asking? Brown: What ' s that? Headla : Do you have some way of really measuring that? In case they do, unintentionally but in case it gets broken up for one reason or another , do you have any recourse? Brown: I doubt that we would have any recourse at this time. It ' s simply II to notify the applicant that we will be watching. We do have the power to shut the operation down if we do see damage occurring . Headla: So that' s what this really gives you? Brown: Correct . Headla : Okay. That' s all I have. Batzli : You indicated that you wanted to delete items 8 and 9 . The ' financial sureties and the utility easemnts? Brown : Correct . ' Batzli : I don' t have any questions . Ellson: I think it looks good. I ' ve always said we need a good wire , distributor in Chanhassen . So welcome and I think it looks good . Conrad: One comment here in the staff report analysis. Those areas of heavy vegetation, this is all someplace else on the southwest or I don' t know, another portion. The building pad , is there much that needs to be Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 31 ' removed from that area? So it' s pretty clean . You' re not concerned with that? Olsen : What we' re saying is they' re working around a lot of these. Conrad: Because they have the fortune to be on the agenda with the ' previous applicant , that' s kind of the kiss of death , to take one subject into the ground . In this case we' re not too uncomfortable, I 'm not uncomfortable that they' re going to disturb the neighbors but in future ' cases if they sell, expand or whatever, do we need any kind of, are we concerned with a building going in and how they impact the residential neighborhood? I didn' t see in the staff report anything talking about the ' direction of lights on the building. The sodium vapor lights . Can we just assume that that' s taken care of? How do we monitor those things Jo Ann? Olsen : The lights, they have to be shielded . . . Conrad: Is that in a building code or is that in an ordinance? Olsen : It' s a commercial site plan requirement would be shielding of lights. ' Conrad : And does Larry go out and make sure that happens? Olsen: It' s the Building Inspector that does it. ' Conrad : In terms of noise in the future, do we care? ' Olsen: Sure we care. Again, we don' t have any specific regulations but as far as site plan approval and conditional use permit . . . Dacy: Everything will be indoors . Conrad : Yes , right and that ' s why I said , what about the future . Let ' s say they expand. Dacy: Outside storage, than a conditional use permit would be required . Emmings: As far as the noise too, I 'm aware of it. A case I was involved ' with at one time where the PCA came out to where these big loaders . . .and the neighbors, there were some neighboring houses and they came down . . .and they shut them down. Olsen : We do have that control and if it ' s thought it dangerous and Public Safety is working on a new noise ordinance . . . Dacy: We' re currently purchasing a decimil meter . Emmings: I don' t really have any comments. I keyed in on the same one Dave did , number 5. I didn' t like the language that says they' ll take the utmost care. Well , baloney, they' ll do it. I 'd just reword that to say the applicant and contractor shall keep Quattro Drive intact throughout 1 Planning Commission Meeting July 13, 1988 - Page 32 the construction process and let them know that that ' s a condition. But I don't think that' s a big point. All and all , I think it' s a good application and unless there are more comments , maybe somebody would like to make a motion.

The Planning Commission approved a preliminary site plan on July 1 13 , 1988 subject to 8 conditions. The eighth condition of appro- val states that the applicant is to meet the requirements of the Public Safety Director . The Public Safety Director recommended 1 that the hydrants for the site be able to produce a flow rate of 1500 gallons per minute (gpm) . The applicant conducted a test during the week of July 11 to verify if these conditions could be 1 met along Quattro Drive. The test results from the applicant suggested that the fire hydrant along Quattro would only produce a maximum flow of approximately 1400 gpm for fire fighting con- ditions. Since that time, staff has analyzed several hydrants 1 ( including the subject hydrant) and found that adequate pressure/flow conditions exist to meet the required fire fighting needs. 1 This analysis was also supported by the study that is conducted for the City for adjustment of the City' s insurance ratings (refer to attachment 1 ) . The last test was conducted on 1 September 12 , 1985 which indicated a potential flow in excess of 1500 gpm. It should also be noted that this potential flow has been enhanced by the recent addition of the new ground storage 1 reservoir. It is therefore recommended that the site plan dated "Received 1 June 13 , 1988" be approved by the City Council as approved by the Planning Commission on July 13 , 1988 . 1 Attachments 1.

BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Don Ashworth , City Manager (� FROM: Jim Castleberry , Public Safety Director W_ DATE: January 14 , 1986 SUBJ: ISO Protection Rating ' As you are aware, the City recently received a fire insurance classification reduction from. 7 to 6 . :urroximately 6 months ago c_ e 130 di ,ic Minneaoolis requesting an updated survey . It was my contention that it had been some 7 years since 11 the previous survey had been done and that enough changes had occurred in the city ' s fire protection system to warrant a new classification study. This is typically done every 10 years. I believe it is important when looking at the statistical grading sheet to understand a little bit more about the figures and what they represent . ' 1 . Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms : We received 7. 60% out of a maximum 10% credit on this item. This suggests that for the most part the Fire Department is responding extremely well to all fire emergencies. What is looked at is the method in which fire alarms are received, that being the 911 system and dispatching through the County , and the fact that we now use pagers rather than telephones to alert our members . Additionally, things such as number of manpower available at any given time of the day and the actual response time. Our biggest area needing improvement would be day time manpower response. 2 . Fire Department ( In General ) : We received 18 .05% as com- pared with a maximum credit of 50%. I am not aware of any community that receives the maximum credit , however , one of the immediate drawbacks is the fact that we have a volunteer department versus a full time department. . The obvious advantage being the level of professional staffing and immediate response versus the amount of time it takes for us to get in service under our present system. The other factor that would weigh somewhat against us , as with other volunteer departments, is that TrAc nA Eau— / EMI Ii Mr. Don Ashworth January 14 , 1986 Page 2 even though we can make good predictions as to how many ' officers will arrive at any given call out , we cannot predict with substantial certainty unlike the full time departments. ' 3 . Water Supply: I was somewhat surprised that we did as well as we did in this area. We received a 34 .16% credit against a 40% maximum. My feeling is that once the new I water tower is constructed, we should again apply for a re-evaluation from ISO as we only need . 05% to bring our classification down to Class 5 . Part of the reason that this test took so long is that initially we started doing flow tests on our hydrants during the summer months and as you may recall, we had a very dry summer for awhile and left our water supply in poor shape. In order to be ' fair , ISO was willing to come out and redo the flow tests at a time that reflected more normal conditions. ' The rate reduction will have an impact on approximately 40 busi- nesses located in Chanhassen that are non-sprinklered. • I . - • • e 1 • ,. • ISO COMMERCIAL RISK SERVICES, INC. 12 SO.SIXTH STREET ROOM 1229 MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55402 TELEPHONE:(812)338-8200 January 6 , 1986 Honorable Tom Hamilton , Mayor Municipal Building 690 Coulter Dr. Chanhassen , MN 55317 Dear Mayor Hamilton: We wish to thank you , and others for the cooperation given to our representatives during our recent survey. We have completed our evaluation of the fire insurance classification for your ? and advise that the protection class has improved to 6 . Formerly Class 7 applied ; the new classification will result in a decrease in the fire insurance rates for many insured commercial properties within the city. The new rates will be effective March 1 , 1986 . The purpose of our visit was to gather information needed to determine a fire insurance classification which may be used to develop fire insurance rates . This survey was not conducted for property loss prevention or life safety purposes and no life safety or property loss prevention recommendations will be made . The change from 7 to 6 does not affect rates for sprinklered properties or residential occupancies insured under Homeowners type policies and some other special schedule rated property . The change will affect typical mercantile properties to a degree depending upon the type of building construction, the hazard of occupancy and other rating factors . The overall effect is usually about -3% for wood frame buildings , -6% for masonry buildings and -3% for fire-resistive buildings . However , variations in construction, occupancy and private protection can result in increases or decreases from this average. The above estimates apply only for insurance companies using ISO rates . However , numerous insurance companies use other than ISO rates so that the effect of the change in class may be different for their policy holders . The city classification applies- to properties with a needed fire of 3500 gpm or less . The tew private and public protection at properties with larger needed fire flows are individually evaluated , and may vary from the city classification. 1:ECZ:".::D ' A SUBSIDIARY OF INSURANCE SERVICES OFFICE, INC.
