SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting a land use amendment to make the entire site one land use, public/semi-
public, which would be consistent with the proposed use of the entire site for a religious campus for
Eckankar. The applicant is also requesting a rezoning of the property nom multiple zonings to
Planned Unit Development - Office/Institutional that would establish the parameters for the future
development of the property for a religious campus. As part of the first phase of a three-phase
development plan, the applicant is also requesting site plan approval for a 60,000 square foot
administrative office and storage building and a 10,000 square foot chapel.
Due to the scope of the project, a total of 430,000 square feet of building area, including the
existing 50,000 temple, the development must be reviewed under an Environmental Assessment
Worksheet (EA W) to investigate and develop mitigation requirements for potential negative
environmental impacts. The city must determine if this environmental review will be sufficient or
if an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) review will be necessary.
Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet.
LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING:
The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving rezonings, PUD's, and
amendments to PUD's because the City is acting in its legislative or policy making capacity. A
rezoning or PUD, and amendment thereto, must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Plan,
The City's discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the
proposed project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements. If it meets these standards, the
City must then approve the site plan. This is a quasi-judicial decision. The City's discretion in

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
At staffs recommendation, the applicant has requested a land use amendment from low density
residential, medium density residential, public/semi-public, and parks and open space to
public/semi-public. This land use would accurately reflect the ownership of the property as well as
the proposed use. As part of the city's analysis of the comprehensive plan, the city excluded the
residential land uses on the property from the housing and population projections. The proposed
land use amendment, while reducing the potential area for residential development, will not
Eckankar Proposal
April 5, 2000
Page 3
negatively impact the ultimate provision of housing in the community. Staff is recommending
approval of the land use map amendment subject to approval of the amendment by the Metropolitan
Council.
The applicant is proposing a three-phase master plan for the development of the Eckankar
Religious Campus. The total development would comprise 430,000 square feet of building area
on 173 acres. Existing development on the property is approximately four acres. Each building
would be institutional in nature. Institutional Establishments are those that are public/semi-public
in nature. Structures or places where worship, ceremonies, rituals, and education pertaining to a
particular system of beliefs are held. Included in this use are administrative, cultural and storage
facilities associated with the belief system.
Staff has developed Design Standards for a religious campus. These standards establish all
development parameters for the site included approved uses, setbacks, development coverage,
building square footages, building materials and design, landscaping and screening, signage,
lighting, parking, and alternate access requirements. These design standards become the zoning
on the property and are incorporated in the PUD agreement between the City of Chanhassen and
Eckankar. Each phase of development would require separate site plan approval. Each site plan
would be required to comply with these standards. These design standards represent the essence
of the City of Chanhassen' s approval.
The standard proposed as part of the PUD master plan for hard surface coverage is 20% for the
overall development. Additionally, approximately 30 percent of the site will be altered from its
natural state. These figures are substantially lower than the city would have realized had the site
developed residentially.
The site has significant topographical changes. The majority of the site is rolling hills. The high
point is located in the west central portion of the property with an elevation of 1030. The low
point on the site is located in the southeast corner of the property, in the wetland, with an
elevation of 930, The majority of the site consists of grasslands and prairie vegetation areas. All
or part of six wetlands are located within the project boundary. These wetlands will all be
preserved. A bluff area is located adjacent to the wetland located in the southeast corner of the
site. The top of the bluff is approximately at the 980 contour. However, the bluff contour
elevation changes as one moves to the south. A bluff is defined as a slope that has both a 30
percent or greater slope and a 25 foot or greater elevation change. The forested areas of the
property are located in the west adjacent to Lake Ann Park, in the northwest corner of the site,
and adjacent to the wetland complex in the southeast corner of the site. Additionally, there are
isolated trees scattered throughout the property, The majority of these wooded areas will be
preserved in their entirety.

Adjacent zoning and land uses are N - RSF, single family homes; S - lOP, West 78th Street,
Highway 5 and industrial development; E - RSF, single family homes, PUD-R, townhouses, BG,
commercial development; and W - RR, Lake Ann Park.
City water and sewer services and storm water piping are provided to the property. Access to the
site will be from West 78th Street and Powers Boulevard. The administrative buildings, museum,
and library will be accessed from West 78th Street. The Temples and educational facilities will
be accessed from Powers Boulevard. There will not be a traffic connection between the two
areas of the religious campus. Powers Boulevard is classified as an arterial road and West 78th
Street is classified as a collector road in the city's comprehensive plan
As part of the documents submitted for review, the applicant has prepared an environmental
assessment worksheet (EA W) that in detail reviews the proposal for the site. Staff has reviewed
the EA W that is very complete; however, staff does have concern with future traffic projections
and impacts to adjacent street systems. It is my understanding that traffic impacts will be further
evaluated as future phases of the site develop.
The advantage of this type of use versus previous land use (residential) is from a municipal
infrastructure standpoint and traffic impacts to adjacent neighborhoods. The proposed use
should have less impact on traffic during the peak times on the area street system. Innastructure
wise, the proposed use will use slightly less capacity of sewer innastructure and less water
demand than a residential use. From a storm water management impact, the proposal has less
impervious surface, thus requiring less runoff to be treated; therefore, having less impact on the
total storm water management system in the city. All development of the property will be
~ required to meet city surface water management requirements and pay surface water management
fees in accordance with city ordinance.
In conclusion, overall the conceptual site plan layout for the three phases appear acceptable.
Further detail analysis will be performed as the individual site plans are submitted to staff for
further review and comment.
Staff is recommending that the concept and preliminary plan be approved.
BACKGROUND
As part of the Highway 5 Corridor Study land use amendments in 1996, public/semi-public and
parks and open space land uses were added as land uses on the property.
On May 22,1989, the Chanhassen City Council approved Conditional Use Permit #89-1 for the
Eckankar Church.

] ustification for Rezoning to PUD
The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 173 acres from RSF, Single Family
Residential, R4, Mixed Low Density Residential, and R12, High Density Residential, to PUD,
Planned Unit Development - Office/Institutional. There are two components to the PUD:
administrativelbusiness office and institutional. The following review constitutes our evaluation
of the PUD request. The review criteria are taken from the intent section of the PUD Ordinance.
Section 20-501. Intent
Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of
most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater
variety of uses, internal transfer of density, construction phasing, and a potential for lower
development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the City has the expectation that
the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than
would have been the case with the other more standard zoning districts.
FINDINGS
It will be the applicant's responsibility to demonstrate that the City's expectations are to be
realized as evaluated against the following criteria:
I. Preservation of desirable site characteristics and open space and protection of sensitive
environmental features, including steep slopes, mature trees, creeks, wetlands, lakes and
scenic views.
Findinl!:. The developer proposes to preserve approximately 70 percent of the site as
open space. To achieve this, the design standards will specify that approximately 30
Eckankar Proposal
April 5, 2000
Page 13
percent of the site may be developed. Additionally, a conservation easement or other
form of preservation mechanism shall be established to permanently preserve the natural
areas,
2, More efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities through mixing
ofland uses and assembly and development ofland in larger parcels.
Findine:. The proposed PUD develops an environmentally sensitive master plan for the
ultimate build out ofthe site. The master plan permits the city and the owner to evaluate
the overall effects and impacts of the development on the community.
3. High quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both
existing and planned. Site planning, landscaping and building architecture should reflect
higher quality design than is found elsewhere in the community.
Findine:. The proposed development will compliment the surrounding area.
Conformance with the design standards will assure that the development is of the highest
quality.
4. Sensitive development in transitional areas located between different land uses and along
significant corridors within the city will be encouraged.
Findine:. The proposed development through the preservation of 70 percent of the site
will provide a transition nom the Highway 5 corridor to the lower density developments
to the north.
5. Development that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,
Findine:. Subject to approval of the land use amendment, the proposed plan is consistent
with the policies and goals of the comprehensive plan.
6. Parks and open space. The creation of public open space may be required by the city.
Such park and open space shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Park Plan and
overall trail plan.
Findine:. No public open space is being required as part of the development. However,
the development shall provide connections between an internal pedestrian system and the
city's sidewalk and trail system. Additionally, the development will preserve 70 percent
of the site as open space.
7. Provision of housing affordable to all income groups if appropriate with the PUD.
Eckankar Proposal
April 5, 2000
Page 14
Findinl!. Housing is not a component of the development.
8. Energy conservation through the use of more efficient building designs and sitings and
the clustering of buildings and land uses.
Findinl!. Through the use of shared parking and proof of parking, there will be
conservation of natural resources and reduction of impervious surfaces.
9. Use of traffic management and design techniques to reduce the potential for traffic
conflicts. Improvements to area roads and intersections may be required as appropriate.
Findinl!. The developer has prepared a traffic study to investigate the potential impacts
of the project on adjacent roadways. With future phases of development of the northern
portion of the project, the developer will be required to update the traffic study to
determine if traffic improvements will be necessary at the Saddlebrook Curve and Powers
Boulevard entrance to the development.
Summary of Rezoning to PUD
Rezoning the property to PUD provides the applicant with flexibility, but allows the city to
request additional improvements and the site's unique features can bè better protected. The
flexibility in standards allows the disturbed areas to be further removed from the unique features
of the site. In return for the flexibility, the city is receiving:
Development that is consistent with Comprehensive Plan.
Preservation of desirable site characteristics (wetlands, water quality in lake, trees,
topographical features, and large expanses of prairie plantings, natural vegetation
and permanent open space).
Sensitive development in transitional areas.
More efficient use ofland.
SITE PLAN REVIEW
The development proposes: A 60,000 square foot two level office building and a 10,000 square
foot chapel of life. The office building is setback 240 feet from West 78th Street and 105 feet
from the west property line. The chapel is setback several hundred feet from the west property
line. The design standards require 100 foot setbacks nom these property lines.
The building is designed as a walkout structure. The one story elevation is oriented to the
parking lot. The walkout elevation is oriented to the wetland and city park to the west. Primary

building material consists of sandblasted and acid etched precast, patterned concrete panels in a
color similar to the existing Temple (sanibel white). Building elevations are articulated through
the use of columns around entrances and windows. Within the columns, a gold colored,
anodized metal strip is inset, The entrance canopy/vestibule is raised above the height of the
building parapet wall. An anodized, metal Eckankar logo is proposed above the entrance. The
building is topped by an octagonal glass skylight. Windows are tinted similar to the Temple and
are named in anodized aluminum. Windows are provided on approximately 82 percent of the
building perimeter. The maximum building height is 35 feet.
Since the Planning Commission meeting, the developer has agreed to continue the use of
columns in the southwest and southeast corners ofthe building (the area closest to West
78th Street). This addition, should adequately address the ar.chitectural concerns of staff
and the Planning Commission. Additionally, the applicant has revised the plans to point
out that elevations are skewed off the cardinal axis, e.g., northwest instead of north.
Through discussions with the developer, staff has also added a textual note in the design
standards that up to a maximum 2,000 square foot maintenance/equipment building could
be built on the site.
The chapel continues many of the elements on the Temple and office building. The chapel is
octagonal in shape with open sides on all but one side. Columns consist of precast concrete
panels similar in color to the Temple and office building with a gold colored, anodized metal
strip inset in the column. On the inside of the columns are built-in benches. Arches between
columns are created through the us~ of wood. The roof consists of wood shingles that are capped
by an anodized metal cupola. An anodized metal Eckankar symbol is proposed on one wall of
the building.· An open metal canopy on wood columns is proposed over the path leading to the
chapel.
The parking standards for the PUD treat the office complex as one unit. This being the first
office building in the project, the developer is required to provide 4.5 spaces per 1,000 square
feet of building area for the first 50,000 square feet of building and 4.0 spaces per 1,000 square
feet for the next 50,000 square feet. The required parking for the office building is a total of 265
spaces of which 45 percent can be provided as proof of parking. The minimum number of spaces
required for the office building is 146 spaces.
The developer is required to provide a landscaped pedestrian passageway though the parking lot
similar to the one in the Temple parking lot. In addition, a sidewalk needs to be installed from
the access lane northwest of the building to the access lane southeast of the building to provide
connections to the future office building and to the city trail system. A sidewalk or trail must
also be installed along the access drive leading from West 78th Street to the interior of the site.
LANDSCAPING

Vehicular use landscane area 4000 sq. ft. >3600 Sq. ft.
Trees/ parking lot 16 overstory trees 10 overstory trees
8 islands II understory trees
4 islands
South prop. Line - bufferyard 6 overstory trees 18 overstory trees
B 12 understory trees 22 understory trees
540' (shown - 75% of total) 20 shrubs
The applicant does not meet requirements for parking lot trees or islands. The proposed
landscape plan will need to be revised in order to meet minimum requirements. As suggested in
the design standards, the required interior islands could bte consolidated to create landscaped
pedestrian walkways within the parking lot. If the islands are consolidated, a minimum of 4 trees
per island would then be required unless the applicant can prove a better design.
The applicant does not meet minimum shrub requirements for bufferyard plantings along W. 78th
Street. However, since the landscape area is expansive and overstory and understory quantities
are well above minimum requirements, staff recommends proposed landscaping be accepted
as IS.
To provide screening of the loading area from W. 78th St./Highway 5, staff recommends
evergreen plantings be added to the west side of the NURP pond. At least 5-7 evergreens would
be needed in order to provide adequate screening.
LIGHTING/SIGNAGE
The proposed lighting will be consistent with the lighting used at the Temple, dark brown
anodized with square heads. Lighting shall use shielded fixtures and be directed away from.
public right-of-way. Sufficient lighting shall be provided to illuminate all areas of the parking lot
to provide adequate levels of safety.
The applicant is proposing an Eckankar symbol over the entrance to the building and on one wall
ofthe chapel. A separate sign permit application will be required for these signs. Since no
detailed information is provided, staff cannot verify whether the size of the signs complies with
the design standards.

WETLANDS
The wetland located to the west of the proposed building will not be impacted by the
construction of the project. Erosion control measures must be installed prior to site grading,
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
Phase I grading involves development of the building pad and parking lot and drive aisle to
facilitate the building sites. In addition, a storm water retention/NURP pond will be constructed
as well as berming along the West 78th Street frontage road. The grading will be limited to the
southwest corner of the site. Overn.ll, the site characteristics will be maintained with the
exception of a leveled off area for the parking lot, Given the difference in site elevations the
60,000 square foot building will be a walkout-type dwelling with underground parking. A six-
foot high berm is proposed along West 78th Street west of the proposed driveway entrance to the
site. A regional storm water pond is proposed to accommodate storm drainage runoff nom this
site as well as the future phases of the property. Storm water retention ponds will need to be
redesigned to 4: I slopes overall or 3: I slopes with a 10: I bench for the first one-foot depth of
water. Currently, the pond is proposed with 3: I side slopes. The applicant has submitted .
detailed storm water calculations for Phase 1. Upon preliminary review of the calculations they
appear to be acceptable. Staff will require that the outlet control structure be designed and
constructed in accordance with the city's standard detail plates. Upon review of the grading plan
staff does have one concern with drainage around the underground garage on the westerly end of
the 60,000 square foot building. Surface runoff nom the adjacent green way as well as the drive
aisles to the underground parking is running towards the underground entrance of the building.
There are no provisions for storm water to be conveyed from this area other than overland, which
would directly convey the runoff to the wetland. Staff is recommending the applicant consider a
sediment basin for pretreatment of the runoff prior to discharging into the wetland.
UTILITIES
Municipal sewer and water service is available to the entire site. Phase I of the project proposes
to extend water service underneath Trunk Highway 5 and West 78th Street to service this site.
Staff has concerns with the long-term maintenance of having the watermain underneath Highway
5. However, since there appears to be no other feasible alternative, staff is comfortable with
permitting this proposal. The other alternative would be to service the site nom Powers
Boulevard. This would prevent looping of the water system. The applicant will need to acquire
necessary permits nom MnDOT for the watermain crossing underneath Trunk Highway 5. The
plans also propose extending sewer and water underneath West 78th Street which was recently
constructed. The city will not allow West 78th Street to be open cut for these connections. The
applicant will need to jack underneath West 78th Street as proposed with Trunk Highway 5.
Eckankar Proposal
April 5, 2000
Page 18
Since this development will be privately owned and maintained, staff recommends due to the
great impact on the city's utility innastructure that the applicant be required to install the utilities
in general accordance with the City's Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. There will be a
portion of the utility systems (which fall within the city right-of-way or drainage and utility
easement) that will be owned and maintained by the city upon completion. Therefore, detailed
construction plans for the public portion of the utilities will need to be submitted to the city for
staff review and City Council approval prior to issuance of a building permit. In addition, the
applicant will be required to enter into a development contract or a site plan agreement which
will include financial securities to guarantee utility extension to the site as well as restoration of
all utility and street work within the city's right-of-way or utility and drainage easements,
Since this overall site will have an impact on city infrastructure and will be privately owned and
maintained, at least staff assumes so, there should be some type of routine maintenance schedule
by the applicant. The city will not respond should there be complaints of rusty water or sewer
lines backing up. If the applicant wishes for the city to maintain these lines, there should be an
agreement prepared between the city and the applicant outlining maintenance routines and fees or
costs associated with the maintenance ofthe private system. Another alternative would be for
the applicant to request that the city own and maintain the utility lines system upon completion,
Under this scenario the applicant would be required to enter into a development contract with the
city, dedicate drainage and utility easements, and pay administration fees. In any event, all
utilities constructed for the project should be in general accordance with the city's latest edition
of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. As-built construction plans will be required upon
completion of each phase.
STREETS
The trip generation information contained in the EA W appears to confirm that the level of
service impact to the adjacent roadway system will not be adversely affected by the proposed site
development and land use. However, staff is still concerned and reserves the right to review
traffic impacts on the city/county street systems as the additional phases are brought to the city
for review and approval. The EA W document did not recommend any additional turn lane
improvements on Powers Boulevard or on West 78th Street due to the limited impact of trip
generations from the project.
Upon review of the parking lot and drive aisle circulation, staff comments would be limited
basically to the turning radiuses may have to be expanded to meet fire truck turning movements
which is generally a minor revision. The entrance to Phase I from West 78th Street is proposed
at 50 feet wide which is excessive considering the land use and turning movements to and from
the site. Staff is recommending that the maximum opening be e 44 feet wide (three 14-foot
wide lanes) unless the applicant desires to install a center median island similar to the existing
Eckankar Proposal
April 5, 2000
Page 19
entrance off of Powers Boulevard. This should be further evaluated by the applicant and staff
prior to issuance of a building permit. The city has a bituminous trail on the north side of West
78th Street as well as street lights and landscaping that may be impacted by improvements with
site development. The applicant should be aware they will be responsible for all relocation of
city street lights, infrastructure and/or landscaping impacted by the proposed site improvements.
Pedestrian ramps should also be incorporated where the city's trail is interrupted with the drive
aisle out to West 78th Street.
EROSION CONTROL
Silt fence is proposed around the perimeter of the site and adjacent to the wetland on the
downstream side of the grading limits. The plans indicate erosion control being placed between
the bituminous trail and West 78th Street that would leave the trail exposed to construction
activities or impacts. The silt fence shall be relocated to the property line and not encroach into
the City's right-of-way of West 78th Street. In addition, no grading activities may occur within
the city's boulevard area. Type I erosion control fence is proposed around the wetlands. The city
has a policy requiring Type III erosion control adjacent to wetland bodies for greater protection.
Type III erosion control fence will be required adjacent to wetland areas. Storm water ponds
and/or temporary detention ponds shall be constructed with the initial grading phases to
minimize erosion potential to the wetlands or downstream water bodies. Erosion control
blankets will be required on slopes greater than 3: I. Revegetation of all exposed slopes should
occur immediately after grading is completed in accordance with the city's BestManagement
Practice Handbook.
SITE PLAN FINDINGS
In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance
with the following:
(I) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides,
including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may
be adopted;
(2) Consistency with this division;
(3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing
tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the
general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing areas;
Eckankar Proposal
April 5, 2000
Page 20
(4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site
features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the
development;
(5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with
special attention to the following:
a. An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and
provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general
community;
b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping;
c. Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of
the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and
neighboring structures and uses; and
d. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives
and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public
streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior
circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement
and amount of parking,
(6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision
for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light
and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations
which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses.
Finding: The overall design and architectural theme for the development is established
by Eckankar Design Standards. The office building consists of concrete panel exterior
walls with "classical" uses of recessed areas and varied building facades. Subject to the
recommended conditions of approval, the development embodies many of the design
elements specified in the Highway 5 Corridor Study including a well designed and varied
building facade, appropriate building scale and proportion, harmonious colors and
building accents, appropriate screening, and the use of high quality building materials.
Pedestrian access will be provided from West 78th Street. The proposed development is
consistent with the City's Highway 5 Corridor design requirements, the comprehensive
plan, the zoning ordinance, and the site plan review requirements. The site design is
functional and harmonious with the area.

PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 5, 2000, to review the proposed
development. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Amendment nom low density residential, medium density
residential, public/semi-public, and parks and open space to public/semi-public. The Planning
Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the conceptual and preliminary
Planned Unit Development with the added conditions that the design standards be amended to
prohibit additional gates at the south entrance and that the applicant work with staff on limiting the
use ofloud speakers and camping on the site. The Planning Commission voted four for and one
against a motion recommending approval of Site plan approval for a 60,000 sq. ft. administrative
office and archive building and a 10,000 sq. ft. chapel with modification to condition 3 that the
applicant work with the City Forester to determine adequate buffering for the loading dock,
modification to condition 33 that the City Engineering department will clarifY the exact width for
the maximum driveway access at West 78th Street, and the addition of conditions 34 through 37:
34. The applicant and staff shall revisit the southern most point of the building to determine
what changes, if any, can be made to the side that the public sees.
35. That the applicant and staff examine the possibility of a sidewalk on the east side of the
site, which is the west side of Powers Boulevard.
36. The applicant shall consider posting signage stating that their trail system is open to the
public.
37. The applicant shall correct the east and west elevations on the site plan.
Finally, the Planning Commission voted unanimously on a motion recommending approval of a
resolution of Negative Declaration of the Need for an Environmental Impact Statement for the
Eckankar Religious Campus.
Condition number 3 was the City Forester's recommendation for adequately screening the
loading dock and should remain as proposed in the staff report.
Staff and the applicant have met regarding the building elevations to the southwest and southeast.
The applicant has revised the plan to show that the columns are continued around the building in
this area, adding detail and articulation to these elevations. Staff believes that this change will
adequately address the City ofChanhassen's concern.
City of Chanhassen staff nom Planning, Engineering, and Parks and Recreation met to discuss
the issue of providing a sidewalk on the west side of Powers Boulevard. Staff's opinion was that
had there been a need for a trail, we would have included it as part of the trail upgrade on this
road. The housing and commercial concentrations are on the east side of Powers Boulevard.
Such a condition would be onerous on the developer of this parcel.
Eckankar Proposal
April 5, 2000
Page 22
The applicant has agreed to incorporate additional signage welcoming the public to use the
contemplative trails throughout the site. These signs will include language discussing the
responsibilities of individuals who use the trails. The applicant as well as the City of Chanhassen
are concerned that individuals not abuse this privilege and that animals are picked up after.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following motions:
'The City Council approves the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Amendment nom low density
residential, medium density residential, public/semi-public, and parks and open space to
public/semi-public contingent upon Metropolitan Council review";

FACTORS CONSIDERED IN FORMULATION OF
THE ECKANKAR RELIGIOUS CAMPUS MASTER PLAN
The information contained in this development narrative, together with the Master Plan, Site
plans, and building plans for the Eckankar Religious Campus, have been prepared taking into
consideration the following:
I. The location, characteristics, and boundaries of the I 73-acre Site located east
of Lake Ann, west of Powers Boulevard/County State Aid Highway 17
(CSAH 17), and north of Arboretum Boulevard/Highway 5 in Chanhassen,
Minnesota (the Site). The Site is legally described on the accompanying
development applications;
2. The needs of the Eckankar religion for a religious campus at the sacred
Eckankar Site, to accommodate the works of the church, including spiritual
services, educational, office, and archive functions;
3. Existing zoning and land uses surrounding the Site;
4. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map;
5. The effect of the development on the regional and local roadway network.
II.
THE SITE
Site Location and Boundaries
The Site is in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Powers Boulevard and Arboretum
Boulevard/Highway 5, in the north-central portion of the City. The Site is bordered on the north
by residential lots on Utica Lane, on the east by Powers Boulevard, on the south by Arboretum
Boulevard/Highway 5, and on the west by Lake Ann Park,
Adiacent Land Uses
Land surrounding the Site is developed at various intensities. Land across Highway 5 to the
South is office and industrial. Land east of the Site is fully developed as low- and high-density
residential and retail/commercial. Land to the north is fully developed as low-density residential.
Lake Ann Park, west of the Site, provides open greenspace with topography and vegetation
similar to that of the Site.
Existing Site Conditions
The 173-acre Eckankar Site is the spiritual center of the religion of Eckankar, occupying an
irreplaceable and vital position in the Eckankar faith. The Site currently provides a setting for
4.
the 50,000 square-foot Temple ofEck and its 290-space parking lot. The Site features spiritual
contemplative trails throughout, which are essentially mown pathways through the native and
restored vegetation. The remainder of the Site is open space, undeveloped land, primarily grass
and restored prairie, with several stands of trees and several wetland areas.
The Site currently consists of approximately five percent wetlands, 15 percent secondary growth
forest, 72 percent brush/grassland and eight percent developed area. Previous development by
Eckankar on the Site included planting of native prairie areas. Lake Ann and the City of
Chanhassen's Lake Ann Park are located just west of the Site. The park includes both developed
and undeveloped recreation areas. The Site is located to the east of a City trail that extends north
along the east shore of Lake Ann to Greenwood Shores Park. There are also City trails located
along the north right-of-way of West 78th Street (at the south boundary of the Site) and on the
east side of Powers Boulevard (across the street nom the Site). The diversity of habitats on and
adjacent to the Eckankar property results in the presence of a relatively diverse wildlife
population, considering the "suburban" location of the Site. Wildlife recently observed on the
Site include songbirds, upland game birds, shore birds, raptors, small mammals and reptiles, and
white tail deer. ' A database search by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
Natural Heritage and Nongame Research Program indicated no known occurrences ofrare
species or natural communities within one mile radius ofthe Site.
The Site is generally rolling and hilly. Site elevation ranges nom 932 to 1028 feet above sea
level. The high point is in the central portion, just west of the existing Temple. Gently rolling
terrain, with a few short steep slopes, makes up the central portion of the Site. The
contemplative trails are primarily located on this gently rolling terrain. The söuthwest corner
slopes steeply down to a wetland at elevation 938 feet, then steeply up again to 980 feet near the
Powers Boulevard/Highway 5 intersection. The north-central portiön of the site also contains a
wetland, although surrounding slopes are much more gradual. Higher points in the northwest
corner and along Powers Boulevard are restored prairie. The north half of the Site's west border
slopes steeply down to Lake Ann. Based on the Carver County soil survey, approximately one
third (32.8 acres) of the Site has slopes in excess of 12 percent.
The project is within four city sub-drainage districts: Lake Lucy, Lake Ann, Lake Susan and
Lotus Lake. Currently the 173.3 acre Site consists of 159.8 acres ofland.jn its "natural"
condition of grasslands, woods and wetlands. Much of the grasslands and wetlands were farmed
before the existing development occurred in 1990. The northwest part of the Site drains to Lake
Ann. The northeast part of the Site drains to wetlands on-site which eventually drain off-site to
the north. The central portion of the Site includes the existing developed area and drains to an
on-site wetland and eventually off-site to the east. The southwestern portion ofthe Site drains to
an on-site wetland and eventually to Lake Susan south of Highway 5. The southeast portion of
the Site drains to a large wetland on-site which is included in a designated City drainage
easement which drains to the south of Highway 5,
Lake Ann, at elevation 955 feet, reflects the regional groundwater level. A large wetland basin in
the southeast corner of the Site is at an approximate elevation of932 feet. Six other "perched"
wetlands are scattered throughout the Site at approximate elevations of 990, 982, 998, 1000, 990,
5.
and 958 feet. According to the U.S,G.S. Water Resources, Lower Minnesota River Watershed
Atlas, bedrock is generally at an elevation of approximately 700 feet above sea level
The Carver County soil survey identified 12 different soil map units on the Site, Nine of these
map units consist of the same soils with different slope classes and/or erosional phases. A list of
these map units and their general physical properties is provided in the Environmental
Assessment Worksheet (EA W). Based on information in the Carver County soil survey and
U.S.G.S. Water Resources, Lower Minnesota River Watershed Atlas, sinkholes or shallow
limestone formations/karst conditions do not exist on this Site, Although some soils are well
drained, none have high infiltration rates, No abandoned or unused wells are known to be
present on the Site, To the knowledge of the project designers, toxic or hazardous materials are
not known to be present on the Site.
A preliminary cultural resources assessment survey was conducted for the Site. This survey
found no potential impacts to any architectural resources but did identify a partial foundation of a
farmstead and a few areas with moderate potential for the presence of archaeological sites within
the portions of the Site planned for development. The results of the assessment survey were
reviewed with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) staff, who agreed with the need to
conduct a Phase 1 survey for those areas of the property with potential impacts. No intact
structures or significant material remains were identified in the Phase I investigation and no
further research or survey work was recommended by the cultural resources consultant, based on
, '
these results. These findings were forwarded to SHPO for review. SHPO staff indicated that
based on the results of the Phase I study, it does not appear that there will be any historic
properties affected by the project.
Municipal utilities are currently provided to the Site to serve the existing Temple ofEck
building.
Historv
The Site was previously used as agricultural land and undeveloped open space. The Site was
initially selected in January, 1984, as Eckankar's spiritual home. The existing Temple ofEck
structure was completed in 1990, and is located in the center of the Site.
Existing Religious Use
The existing Temple ofEck building, built in 1990, currently must accommodate worship
services, archives, offices, and educational and meeting space. Eckankar requires additional
space for other church-related activities that take place at the Temple, including: religious study
classes, discussion groups, weekly prayer meetings, religious ceremonies, (e,g., consecrations,
weddings and memorial services), and church-sponsored boy and girl scout evening meetings.
The existing Temple, located on a high point in the center of the Site, will continue to provide
the focus for the religious campus.
The religious campus has been carefully designed as a whole, including an essential zone of
quietude or "apron" around the religious campus that provides the necessary environment for
6.
religious worship at Eckankar's primary spiritual site, as well as providing an environment in
which Eckankar can carry out its religious mission. The setting, including the surrounding zone
of quietude, is meant to serve church members, visitors and clergy in the pursuit of their spiritual
goals.
III.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
The Religious CamDus
The proposed project is designed to continue the establishment of an Eckankar Religious
Campus. The design calls for continued development of a 430,000-square-foot religious campus
over the next ten years. The Master Plan for the religious campus includes facilities for religious
worship, religious education, church archives and museum facilities, and church administration
totaling approximately 380,000 square feet, in addition to the existing 50,000-square-foot
Temple facility. Approximately 70 percent of the Site would remain undeveloped, to preserve
existing woodland, prairie and wetland natural features and to maintain an essential zone of
quietude around the religious campus.
The purpose of the project is to provide a center for the Eckankar religion. The Master Plan
provides the facilities for the Eckankar community's continued worship in a setting necessary for
that worship. The variety offacilities are essential to Eckankar's ability to serve church
members and clergy.
The physical design of the religious campus is an essential element, and reflection of, Eckankar's
spirituality. The religious campus is organized to reflect a hierarchy of uses, The Temple serves
as the center of the Site; it hosts community worship, and is the highest spiritual use. Chapels for
smaller worship groups, and the administrative and educational uses are sited to the sides.
Although these uses support and form an essential part of Eckankar' s religious purpose, they are
lesser spiritual uses. The lesser spiritual uses are sited to emphasize the central purpose of the
Temple. The zone of quietude enveloping the religious campus provides a buffer between the
campus and the busy roads at its borders.
The Temple and Sanctuary building is arranged on an axis, suggesting stability and permanence;
the Celebrations of Life Chapel is sited along the same axis. Each campus building is sited so
that the Temple is visible nom the main entry. The Temple and Sanctuary building is visible
nom both main drives, and will be emphasized upon entry. The accessory parking is arrayed in
rounded fan shapes, which are a better fit among the rolling landforms of the Site. The two small
chapels are provided pedestrian access, but parking lots are kept away, to enhance the feeling of
harmony with the land. Finally, the contemplative trails radiate from the Temple and envelop the
outlying campus buildings.
ProDosed DeveloDment Plan
Eckankar requires additional space for church-related activities that currently take place at the
Temple, including: religious worship services, religious study classes, discussion groups, weekly
7.
prayer meetings, religious ceremonies, (e.g" consecrations, weddings and memorial services),
and church-sponsored boy and girl scout evening meetings. In addition, church administrative
offices will move nom New Hope, Minnesota to the Eckankar property in Chanhassen.
Like other churches in Chanbassen, Eckankar is better able to carry out educational, office and

Site Grading and Drainage
The project will enhance storm water management throughout the Site by implementing goals of
the City ofChanbassen's surface water management plan. The final Site grading/drainage plans
will maintain approximately the same run-off rates as existing conditions and will include
ponding to treat run-off nom impervious areas prior to discharge to wetlands on the Site. These
storm water ponds will also help control downstream flooding and improve water quality of
surface waters discharged nom the Site. After full development the northwest, northeast, and
southeast parts of the Site will largely remain undisturbed. Impervious surfaces (27.7 acre,
16 percent) and urban/suburban lawn-landscape (15.9 acre, 9 percent) will occupy approximately
25 percent of the Site.
The central portion of the Site will be split into two site drainage areas, which will drain to the
proposed north and central storm water treatment ponds prior to discharging to on-site Type I
wetlands. Impervious surfaces and urban/suburban lawn-landscape areas in the southwest part of
the Site will drain into the proposed south storm water treatment ponds. The north treatment
pond will drain to the east, while the central and south ponds will drain to the large wetland in
the southeast corner of the Site designated as storm water basin LS-A3.10 in the Chanhassen
Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP).
Detention/treatment facility plans and Best Management Plans will be provided in conformance
with state and local requirements as Site grading/drainage plans are developed for each phase of
the Master Plan.
Only one acre of the approximately 23 acres of the Site which currently drains to Lake Ann will
be converted to impervious surface and/or urban/suburban lawn-landscaping. Surface water run-
off nom this developed area will be discharged to the proposed north storm water treatment pond
in the LL-AI 0 sub-district and will not drain to Lake Ann.
Natural Habitat
Natural habitat will be preserved and restored consistent with the master planning for the Site. In
particular, the wetlands in the southeast and northwest corners, and surrounding slopes, will be
primarily undisturbed. The large wooded area in the central and northern portions of the Site,
bordering Lake Ann Park, will also remain, Together with the Park, this area will continue to
provide unbroken natural environment for wildlife. Grassland and restored prairie along the east
edge of the Site, in the northwest corner, and along the southwest border with Lake Ann Park
will also remain undisturbed.
Access and Traffic Characteristics
The Temple building area in the center of the Site and the administrative building area in the
southwest portion of the Site do not connect for intrusive vehicle access through the Site. A
steep slope, from 1010 feet to 986 feet, at the edge of the Temple South parking lot, would
require extensive grading and excavation to provide vehicle access. Vehicle access between the
Temple and the southwest building group would likely be used as a cut-through by non-church
traffic to avoid traffic controls at Powers Boulevard and Highway 5. In addition, providing
pedestrian and visual access nom the Temple to the administrative group serves to protect the
hierarchy of uses, which is the organizing principle of the religious campus, by ensuring that the
Temple remains the central destination, rather than a point on the route to the administrative area.
A traffic study has been completed for the Master Plan. The traffic study projected the Master
Plan, built out, would generate total average daily traffic of 4,325 trips, with peak hour
generation of 454 trips in the weekday afternoon peak hour and 1,225 trips in the "worst case"
Sunday morning peak hour, From a positive standpoint, the traffic study concluded that full
build-out of the Master Plan would not reduce the weekday p.m. peak hour level of service at
either of the Powers Boulevard intersections. The traffic analysis projected no significant
impacts on traffic congestion on area roads or on the regional transportation system as a result of
the proposed Site development.
The traffic study also compared anticipated residential traffic generation, if the Site was
developed residential under the current City Code restrictions. Residential development
generated higher levels of traffic, and resulted in levels of service the same as or slightly worse
than the Master Plan development.
IV.
CONSISTENCY OF PROJECT
WITH THE
CHANHASSEN COMPREHENSIVE
LAND USE PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE
Land Use Plan
Chanhassen's 1998 Comprehensive Plan Update, which incorporates the City's
Highway 5 District study of 1995, was recently approved by the Metropolitan Council and
enacted by the City. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the planned Site land uses as
Public/Semi-Public; Low-, Medium- and High-Density Residential; Institutional development;
and parks and open space. As part of the development proposal, the applicant is requesting a
land use amendment to public/semi-public for the entire property.
Zoning
Chanhassen's current Zoning Code designates the Site as RSF, residential single-family, in the
northern portion, R4, moderate density residential, in the central portion, and R12, high-density
residential, in the southern portion. The church use is allowed as a conditional use in the RSF,
R4, and Rl2 Districts. The Site's inclusion in the Highway 5 Overlay District does not affect
II.
this zoning classification. As part of the development proposal, Eckankar is requesting rezoning
of the property to Planned Unit Development- Office/Institutional.
The Master Plan proposes to continue the church use, along with church administrative
functions, which carry out the religious purpose of the campus, The existing and proposed uses
of the Site are compatible with adjacent residential and open space uses. The vast majority of the
Site will remain green space. All buildings and accessory parking will exceed minimum
setbacks nom the Site boundary.
The church use is allowed as a permitted use in the Office/Institutional (01) District, which is the
proposed new zoning for the Site, Administrative offices, libraries, and museums are also
permitted uses in the 01 District. The proposed Master Plan development will comply with 01
minimum lot size, nontage, and lot coverage restrictions.
Planned Unit Development (pum
The City has requested that the Master Plan obtain approval as a PUD. The Master Plan
complies with PUD requirements and meets the objective standards set forth in the City's PUD
ordinance (Code Section 20-501 to 20-519). The Site is larger than five acres (20-503). Hard
surface coverage will be less than the 30% allowed in low or medium-density residential areas,
the strictest PUD requirement (20-505(e». Setbacks shall exceed those prescribed in Section 20-
505(f): 30 feet nom local streets and lot lines; 50 feet from collector or arterial streets.
The PUD is intended to ensure "significantly higher quality and more sensitive" development
than would occur under the existing zoning (20-501). The Master Plan does this by responding
to each of the PUD criteria in the City's Code. The Master Plan preserves site characteristics,
allowing most of the site to remain in its natural state, preserving open prairie and significant
woodlands, particularly those adjoining Lake Ann Park, and preserving Site wetlands. The
Master Plan provides higher quality of design, including masonry construction and distinctive
architecture reflective of Eckankar' s religious principles, The Master Plan provides a buffer of
open, natural habitat space between commercial development to the south and single-family
residential to the north.
Highwav 5 Corridor
The HC-l overlay District applies to control development in the Highway 5 Corridor. The
District is designed to provide for the intense development expected in the highway corridor,
while protecting aesthetics in the corridor, one of the City's primary gateways. The corridor
regulations require protection of environmental features, such as creeks, wetlands and stands of
mature trees, while promoting high-quality architectural and site design. Section 20-1450. The
Master Plan is designed to meet and exceed the District requirements.
The Master Plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, Surface Water Protection Program,
zoning ordinance, and other land use controls, as detailed in this narrative. The Master Plan
preserves natural conditions on the Site to the greatest extent possible. About 145 acres of
greenspace, wetland, and wildlife habitat will remain after development. Perhaps more
12,
importantly, the open land will remain in large, unbroken areas, maximizing its visual effect and
its benefits to wildlife. Section 20-1451.
Materials, lighting, textures, colors and architectural and landscape forms will create a unified,
high-quality design concept on the Site, The Master Plan buildings will be compatible in
appearance, using high-quality exterior materials chosen to reflect a sense of permanence and
stability. The Master Plan is designed to reflect the hierarchy of religious uses, is focused to the
Temple at its center, and is arrayed in harmony with the natural landforms. The forested area n
the west-central portion relates well to Lake Ann Park. The restored and natural prairie areas
relate well to the Utica Lane residential development, and the natural wetland in the southeast
provide both a buffer and a transition nom Highway 5. Landscaping and berming will be
utilized to enhance the Highway 5 facade, as shown on the Highway 5 rendering. Section 20-
1451.
Shoreland Zoning
The northwest corner of the Site is adjacent to Lake Ann, which is classified as a Recreational
Development Lake. Although the Lake (OHW=955.5) and the 100-year flood elevation (957
feet) do not encroach on the property, approximately 44 acres of the Site is within the Lake Ann
Shoreland District. The City's shoreland ordinance required a minimum 75-foot setback from the
OHW of Lake Ann. The Master Plan is in compliance with the City's shoreland ordinance.
Bluff Setback
A bluff, defined in the City Code as an area of 30% or greater slope and 25 feet or greater
elevation change, exists in the southeast corner of the Site. The top of the bluff is at elevation
980 feet, while the toe is at elevation 940 feet. A thirty-foot building setback is required from the
top, toe, and sides of the bluff. The first twenty feet from the toe or top of the bluff are defined
as bluff impact zones in which no grading or alteration is permitted. As shown on the
engineering documents, the buildings are proposed to meet the setback, and construction limits
are proposed to be outside the bluff impact zone.
Site Plan Review
The Master Plan meets or exceeds the requirements for Site Plan Approval. The religious
campus is a church use compatible with the Comprehensive Plan, since it is a conditional use in
the current residential zoning districts and a permitted use in the proposed OI District. The
Master Plan preserves approximately seventy percent of the Site in its natural or restored state,
providing natural habitat, wetland, and woodland to a much greater extent than potential
residential or other institutional development on the Site. The Master Plan design upholds'
Eckankar's principle to exist in harmony with nature. The Master Plan provides adequate
vehicular and pedestrian circulation, protects adjacent and neighboring properties both by
buffering commercial from residential and vice versa, and by providing and preserving attractive
views and natural habitat, a desired neighborhood amenity. Finally, the Master Plan upholds the
City's architectural standards. Sec. 20-110; Sec. 20-116.
13.
SÏlm Plan
The PUD allows signs as proposed in an approved sign plan (20-505(i». Eckankar proposes
signs to be shown on the site and building plans, including monument signs at each entrance,
with circulation, parking, building, trail markers, and area signs as appropriate within the Site.
Sign materials and appearance will be compatible with the building architecture.
Parking
The Master Plan is expected to provide 1507 additional parking spaces, Added to the 290 spaces
for the existing Temple parking, total parking provided will be 1797 spaces at full build-out.
Under the City's Zoning Code, 1595 parking spaces are required for the full build-out. The
Master Plan therefore meets or exceeds the City's parking requirements.
The dashed area shown in the central portion of the south parking lot can serve as either paved
parking or proof of parking, Based on parking levels at Eckankar's administrative facilities in
New Hope, parking will be sufficient without paving the proof of parking area. Although the
area could be paved to provide parking in strict compliance with City Code standards, it reduces
impervious surface and increases green space if left as proof of parking. Since the PUD allows
variation from parking restrictions, Eckankar requests that this area be designated proof of
parking and left unpaved unless shown to be necessary to provide adequate parking.
V.
SUMMARY OF RATIONALE SUPPORTING PROJECT APPROVAL
I, Eckankar's church use is authorized on the Site under the current zoning, with a Conditional
Use Permit, which has been granted for the existing church use. The Master Plan proposes to
continue that church use, with additional facilities in furtherance of Eckankar' s religious
mission.
2. The existing Temple has been compatible with neighboring residential development. The
Master Plan proposes to continue many of the same functions.
3, The Master Plan provides continued preservation of natural wildlife habitat, the existing
terrain and open space characteristics, and the wetlands and woodlands on much of the Site.
4. Preservation of natural features enhances Lake Ann Park and neighboring residential areas.
5. Compared with the residential development allowed on the Site, the Master Plan preserves
natural features and characteristics to a greater degree, generates less traffic, amplifies the
potential positive wildlife and habitat impacts of Lake Ann Park, and preserves views for the
public and the residential neighbors.

RE: Eckankar Religious Campus Master Plan
Environmental Assessment Worksheet Review Comments
County Roads 17 (Powers Blvd)
>.,-j' ! { \"-1' VI !hr~nK¡j~
Dear Mr. Generous:
The Carver County Public Works Department has reviewed the Environmental Assessment
Worksheet transmitted to our office by your memo dated March 1, 2000 and we have also
reviewed the material sent to us by your FebriJar¡ 29, 2000 memo regarding this planning case.
This letter is a response to the EAW review and the Planning Case 2000-2 LUP, 2000-2 PUD,
2000-5 SPR review. These comments are not meant to be all-inclusive, Additional comments
may be needed as this project develops and approaches approval.
There is a paragraph on page 20 of the EAW that says; "The results of the Saddlebrook/Powers
intersection improvement scenario analyses were reviewed with Carver County Public Works
traffic staff (because Powers Boulevard is a county road), The County indicated that, in the
past, no roadway improvements have been required from developments that result in
occasional short-term impacts to traffic operations, These operational problems projected for
the Eckankar site would have a duration of one hour (or likely less) and would occur only under
"special event" (Alternative 1 and 2) conditions, not on a routine basis,"
Though in the past we have not required roadway improvements on developments that result in
occasional short-term impacts to traffic operations, this study indicates that the hourly peak
traffic could reach 624, This is a higher peak hour traffic amount then we typically encounter
especially on a roadway with this high of an existing traffic volume, Also it is unclear from this
report how often these "special events" might occur in a one-year time period,
This is a private access to Powers Boulevard. The applicant needs to understand that in a
typical intersection if traffic control improvements, such as traffic signals, are needed the cost of
the improvement is usually divided by the number of legs in the intersection and the cost
obligations are split among the owners of the intersection,

Carver County would like to have the opportunity for further discussion with the traffic
consultant regarding the traffic study and impacts before making a final decision on the need
for roadway improvements to accommodate this proposed development,
Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposal.

SHPO Number: 1999-3798
Dear Mr. Generous:
Thank you for providing this office with a copy of the EAW for the above-referenced project. It has
been reviewed pursuant to responsibilities given to the Minnesota Historical Society by the
Minnesota Historic Sites Act and the Minnesota Field Archaeology Act and through the process
outlined in Minnesota Rules 4410,1600.
There are no properties listed on the National or State Regislers of Historic Places, and no known or
suspected archaeological properties in the area that will be affected by this project. Therefore, in our
opinion, the "no" response to question 25a is appropriate.
Please note that this comment letter does not address the requirements of Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and 36CFR800, Procedures of the Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation for the protection of historic properties. If this project is considered for federal
assistance, or requires a federal permit or license, it should be submitted to our office with reference
to the assisting federal agency.
Please contact Dennis Gimmestad at (651 )296-5462 if you have any questions regarding our review
of this project.
Sincerely,

Blackowiak gave her reasons for voting against the motion.
Conrad gave his reasons for voting against the motion,
Conrad: Anyway, you heard the vote, it's 3 to 2 so it's close. So it means of all of these tonight,
you're doing better and you do have some rationale and I think in were you I'd be talking to Bob
about appealing this and taking it to the City Council. You do have,
Kind: It passed.
Conrad: I thought it had to go 4 to I. It's a majoñty that can win.
Blackowiak: On a variance?
Comad: I thought on this one.
Kind: I thought we debated percentage a lot. About a year ago at this time I remember,
The Planning Commission took li short recess while Bob Generous researched the percentage
needed to approve a variance.
After further research it was discovered that this item is automatically appealed to the City
Council because of a 3 to 2 vote by the Planning Commission.

Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item.
Conrad: Thank you Bob. Are there questions of Bob?
Kind: Mr. Chairman I have a question. Bob, on the development, or the concept development
plan which is sheet, up in the right hand. There's a building, one of the irregular shaped
buildings set back here that's assigned as HI. Is that correct? We don't see that in this site plan.
Generous: That wouldn't be part of Phase I but it's part of...
Kind: Okay,
Generous: So in their 10 year buildout plan."
Kind: And then could you speak to how deleting the residential affects our tax base. How it
damages it tax wise?
Generous: Well staff's...based on ownership, the whole site will...
Kind: Whether there's homes there. Whether we require the homes to be built on the
residential portion?
Generous: Correct, Whether they keep this land. Unless they were to sell it and put it in... If
they were to develop that residentially, unless you have higher priced houses, the revenue versus
expenditure equation comes out on the negative. Especially with low density housing, You want
to,..
Kind: And then a question about what I would describe as the southeast corner of that
administrative building, Do you feel that that meets the design standards?
22
Planning Commission Meeting - April 5, 2000
Generous: Based on the overall. ,.it would not be our preference but we, if you look at the
parameters of the building... While they meet the comer basically comes.., Yes, I believe it does
meet the standards.
Kind: And the columns, what is the reveal for the columns? It's not like on the temple where
they're actually..,ftee standing ftom the structure. You're not sure? Because the elevations,
maybe that's a better question to ask the applicant. Never mind. That's it.
Conrad: Other questions of staff'?
BIackowiak: Mr. Chair I have a couple quick questions, First of all, talk about the 70/30
percentages. We're 70% will remain open, 30% will be developed, Is that something that you
would want to be included as a condition? You talk about a conservation easement, etc. Would
it be appropriate for us to place that as a condition on the maximum percentages of the buildings?
Generous: That's actually in the design standards,..
Blackowiak: Right now I'm looking at, where do these 30 and 70 percents come in?
Generous: The 30%, their impervious surface is the..,
BJackowiak: Okay so the hard surface is 20% when it's all developed? You're comfortable then
that that's going to achieve the goal that we want?
Generous: .,.in conjunction with...
BJackowiak: Okay, great. Dave, I have a question for you. They're talking about the fact that
there will not be a traffic connection between the two areas of the religious campus, Is there any
reason that say ÍÌ"om a public safety standpoint that we would want there to be a type of
connection or is it, are two separate loops acceptable?
Hempel; Mr, Chair, Commissioners. We did ask that question of the Fire Marshal. Because of
the rolling...
LuAnn Sidney asked a question of Dave Hempel at this point.
Ladd Conrad asked a number of questions of Bob Generous.
Conrad: Trails, You've got a trail leading out. And what does that connect to on Powers?
Generous: The other side...
Conrad: So our vision, our trail vision, our trail plan says there will be no trail on the west side
of Powers? There will be one trail on the east side,
23
Planning Commission Meeting - April 5, 2000
Generous: ,..
Conrad: ...a trail on that side of the road for residents..,
Bill Griffith: Good evening Mr, Chairman and Planning Commissioners, My name is Bill
Griffith representing Eckankar, We have with us this evening a development team that has
worked on this project for many months now, We have Jennie Ross who has done the
environmental work, Prepared the Environmental Assessment Worksheet and the traffic study
from SRF Consulting. Greg Hollenkamp with the architectural firm ofKKE Architects. And
there's Dave Nash who,.. Thanks for this opportunity to present this master plan, As staff stated
in their report, the reason for bringing this master plan forward is to really give the City and the
public and the citizens an idea of what the long range plan for this campus is, Way back in '86
when Eckankar purchased the site and moved their headquarters here. ..nom California, there
was a vision to create... worldwide religion. They found very amenable site for that type of
development, The first phase was to establish the temple facility...important to establish a
presence in the community before entailing a large scale... And that has really been done over 10
years time. Many of the members reside in your community, They work in the community.
They're.,.so having spent 10 years as a part of the fabric ofChanhassen, now's a good time to
bring forward this master plan and present the long range plan". This is a I 0 year plan primarily
because...environmental impacts. When you go out further than 10 or 20 years, the
background", will change and so that's why the 10 year window, Still I would expect that this
plan would,. .hold over a 10,20 or even 30 years so say a long range plan is one that you
really...out over a long period of time. As was stated by Mr, Generous, the first building is that
building in the southwest area of the site, but I'd like to go through the entire master plan because
I think there's some sense of how that evolved when you look at the site in total. I think it was
the City Manager, then City Manager Don Ashworth who asked,..Executive Director Peter
Skelskey. .. so what are you plans for the campus, At that time Mr, Skelskey said we will
come. . .master plan that shows you the whole layout and you know every once in a while Don
would say or staff would say, well Peter where's that plan. So this is it, This is the plan that staff
and others have been waiting for, The site is oriented around the existing temple building. Now
this concept plan obviously shows a sanctuary addition to this location, That's about 800 to 900
seats, So the seat of the campus is in this location. Everything else kind of emanates out in
concentric circles growing out from that location, So you see here the museum building which
relates very closely to the temple. The Local Temple ofEck, probably the most remote element
of the design in the phasing of the campus and the reason I say that is, the Local Temple of Eck is
really what the Temple ofEck is now and as, if it becomes as membership grows throughout the
world and it becomes a more significant feature of the religion.. ,main temple and if you're a
local member and you want to go to church, you might not want to go to, you know the Mormon
Tabernacle or Vatican City or whatever the analogy might be. You'd go to your local church so
that's really 25-30 years down the road as this temple takes on a greater,.. Then as you go out in
the concentric circles, you pick up the educational buildings, Those are religious education
buildings. They're not intended to be day programs. They're intended to provide for religious
instruction. Meetings, classes, additional instruction both for youth and for adults. Very similar
to what you might see in other church facilities where they have evening programs, They might
have Sunday School, but they don't provide a full... Then as you move out into the site, we've
24
Planning Commission Meeting - April 5, 2000
got an archives building, Like any religion, record keeping is very important in
establishing" ,history of its membership and the like, And then a second administration
building. And again, as the religion grows, the need for administratio!1 grows, there", Within
this first phase then, I'll show you a phasing plan, As Mr. Generous said, the administration
building is 60,000 square feet to replace the building that is now in New Hope", and this would
replace that facility in New Hope. Celebration of Life Chapel is an open air chapel. It gives the
beauty of the site, there is a demand or desire for open air celebrations, The ability to have open
air weddings.. ,and other spiritual exercises in an open air setting... Then finally a contemplation
chapel on the north side, That is again down the road that this facility would be
used.. ,Celebration of Life Chapel is used... All the site is surrounded and I think the real central
premise of this plan is there's a zone of quietude ftom, we've been asked why so much property,
We've been asked why the configuration of these buildings and it's really to create a zone of
quietude around the campus. Then as a religious institution, retreat,. .all of those facilities
surround themselves with land to create a buffer ftom the busy life...down the road if you will
and that's really what we're trying to do and what Eckankar has done is make a trail network
with prairie restoration that you see in the light yellow and green is included in the north side and
is continued on the north side of the property, You can see the trails snaking along the perimeter
of the property, through the natural areas and again creates that zone of quietude", conduct
prayers and spiritual exercises in the out of doors, I think nom the public standpoint, the most
significant aspect of this property is the preservation òfnatural environment, Even the buildings,
where there is land alteration, are designed to fit within the existing topography of the site, So
you've got walk out buildings where there's one story set inside the hill...into the wetland area in
the southeast. So all of this is designed to preserve natural features on the site, including the
wetland...
(There was a tape change at this point, The remainder of the applicant's presentation was not
picked up on the tape. Taping of the discussion began again during the public hearing portion of
the meeting.)
Barb Klick: . ..and out in California there were somè.. ,holding their seminars and things.. ,so
even though this is not part of the plan now, I'm not sure about zoning...so I would like that
researched because it's not my dream to have people comin,g in and camping...and maybe that's
not a deal right now but long term", Second of all, as a public safety past commissioner, safety is
always apart of my mind, "and I had not thought about the trail systems but I think that's an
excellent point. As a resident of that area, you know we waited for that ftontage road by Lake
Ann Park. And on a hot summer day you know how nequently that lake is used by the children
and" ,right now the kids have to cross the street to go on the other side and if you were thinking
of using Powers Boulevard as your main entrance.. ,you have to cross back over to the
sidewalk.. .so I think that would be an excellent idea, Putting trails on that side also would be
wonderful, My next concern, you keep bringing this up and I'm glad, You keep talking about
this zone of quietude", I lived in Minneapolis for 5 years prior to Chanhassen and I had enough
plane noise and I moved out to Cbanhassen for the quiet.. ,and I just wanted to relay something in
February, Every February in Chanhassen is the February Fest, It's a great celebration.. ,and they
have raffles and fishing contests and things like that and...in February when your windows are
closed, okay, And ftom about 10:00 a,m, till about 5:00 p,m, I can hear over the loudspeaker, the
25
Planning Commission Meeting - AprilS, 2000
smallest fish, Jimmy Jones come forward and the first perch come forward. This went on for,.,
and that's part ofthe,..that's part of what it's all about, At the Monday evening I also asked
about loudspeakers, The chapel is 10,000 square feet, That's a lot of space and a lot of people
need to hear and I think your response was there were not standard loudspeakers that were
included but there maybe PA systems... Now again, I don't know what all the intent is for but if
they're going to do education there. If they're going to have celebrations where there's music,
Also in a public trail system,. ,members chanting. Some of these things are great. Have limited
periods of time but I am not at all interested in disrupting my zone of quietude so I don't know
again, ..how that's zoned or how that's looked at but I'm not. ..couple of things broadcaster...
And the last thing I did not bring out about land development but we have.. ,and I'm not sure
what property procedure is but I would urge you to act on the side of conservatism and look at
one phase at a time.
Conrad: Okay, Other comments?
Linda KIoman's comments were not picked up by the tape.
Kind: Linda, is that your name? ... were interested in whether you like the overall master plan in
favor of having homes there? Or rezoning. What's your feelings on that.
Linda Kloman and Barb Klick responded nom the audience,
Kind: Getting back to my original question. Would you prefer to have 70% open space as is
provided in the master plan or would you prefer to have homes, developed as the current..,? To
you it doesn't make any difference? 6 of I, half a dozen of the other, Barb, how do you feel?
Barb Klick gave her answer nom the audience.
Conrad: Other comments.
Bill Griffith: Chairman, commissioners, I'd like to take a few to address the comments raised by
the public. The first comment that I would have is with regard to loud speakers, There will not
be loud speakers in the Chapels at all, Again, there may be musicians nom time to time that put
up for a wedding service, It is not intended to be a loud facility, An open...facility. It's really
within the same trail network, Intended to be a facility...so there will be no permanent
amplification facility within the building, The reason that we came in with a planned unit
de4velopment concept is at the staff's urging, We had a plan for a master plan, Staff suggested a
planned unit development concept as a way to really plan out the development over many, many
years and this is the city, the residents and everybody involved, the clearest picture of what's
intended. It's conceptual, beyond the site plan for the first two buildings, it's conceptual, So
those pieces may be modified slightly within the ftamework that's being adopted, Seven page
design framework. You get a lot of certainty over what can be done and what cannot be done so
I think that's something that... primarily to the public as the reason for the planned unit
development as a reason to show all the phasing, And what that does is that triggered, showing
all the phasing over the planned unit development process, really triggered a very thorough
26
Planning Commission Meeting - April 5, 2000
environmental study, The Environmental Assessment Worksheet has been done today, is
comparable to the EIS when the laws were first adopted in the mid 80's, You have ground water
analysis, You have storm water analysis. You have traffic analysis, Noise study, Carbon
Monoxide. All the essential studies that are necessary to determine the environmental affect of
the project, Because it's 30% development and 70% natural habitat, the environmental affects
are not significant as compared to what could be developed on this site. I think that's the main
point that we bring forward in the presentation so I just want everybody to understand the
environmental study was done. What's being suggested is that a more lengthy EIS,
Environmental Impact Statement is not necessary. The type of project that you see an EIS for
these days is for large scale hog operations and power plants. You know something of that
nature. A paper plant up north. For a project of this scale and this size.. ,comprehensive
planning and zoning, an EIS is simply not necessary, That's why, even if this went out to almost
20 state agencies, not one has come back and suggested that an EIS is necessary. So I want to
give you some confidence that the environmental issues have been addressed as your staffhas
suggested. And I guess the final thing that I would say is with regard to whether this is office,
whether it's residential, the plan that was adopted growing out of the Highway 5 corridor study
was a mixed concept for this property. It's guided for residential, low density on the north,
medium in the middle and high density on the south, But it's also guided for office institutional.
If you ever look at the guide plans, it's right there. And so to suggest that this is one or the other, ,
is left open essentially, as part of your comprehensive planning process. Now we're suggesting
office institutional which is consistent with what we're asking for. We're suggesting that you
have one land use, Let's figure out what it is going forward so I think this really provides some
clarity. That was something that was left open, We participated in that land use study and "
provided some input to that and that was staff's and the city's response to that input. Very, very
long study that grew out of the Highway 5 corridor study and the comp planning process, So I
just want you to understand that medium and high density residential is not 'the only land use that
could go on this property, Office institutional is also guided here, With the change to
public/semi public, then you preserve this type of use for the long term, Long term planning and
development. So those are my comments and response and I thank you again for your time and
attention.
Conrad: Any other comments? Is there a motion to close the public hearing,
Kind moved, Sidney seconded to close the public hearing. The j)ublic hearing was closed.
Burton: Well I'djust start offby saying I like it. It's a less intensive use than...and I think it's
important to try to preserve that, I think that preserving such a large site in the center of the city
really helps to preserve the rural feel of the town and I like that and I also agree with the staff that
it's a nice back drop to the downtown and I think overall it is a nice quality project. It is hard to
get your arms around it because it is so big. That's where I have to rely on the staff and their
analysis on a lot of the things. "to absorb but I did read the reports, I read through the statements,
I do agree with staff's analysis and their recommendations. Based on the comments nom the
neighbors though I do have a couple of concerns, I'm not sure what", I guess I wouldn't mind if
a caretaker.. ,overnight site could be a problem for the neighbors,.. wanting to look at those type
of things, And the other thing that struck me was the signage of it". I think the signs fit
27
Planning Commission Meeting - April 5, 2000
in...understatement of the development that's been proposed so I think...stay with the staff's
recommendation. Besides those points, I think it's a nice project.
LuAnn Sidney gave her comments on the project.
Kind: My primary reaction when I first got my packet was the concern about rezoning for tax
reasons. And Bob has addressed that issue as a non-issue. And are we changing the rules on
this.. . and is this a better use than what was originally, than what they originally thought. And
I've been convinced that 70% open space is a better use, If I was an adjacent property owner I'd
be thrilled that that's what was going on, So my main two main things that I reacted to I think
are okay and I think that Eckankar has proven to be a good neighbor the past 10 years. I was here
in '89 when the brouhaha came through and they've been excellent neighbors, I think you've
proven yourself and the master plan looks very impressive... I can see all the work that has gone
into it and I'm guessing the give and take with staff on that, And I have a few concerns, that I
think you might know what they are. The main one being that south, I think it's southeast corner
of the administrative building, I don't feel that that fills the dèsign standards in our, that are in
place. I think it's putting the weakest elevation facing a very important intersection of
Chanhassen,. ,long expanse without windows looks industrial. And it clearly says in our design
standards that large expanses with significant visual relief are prohibited and that all elevations
should be receive nearly equal architecture so I'd really like to see the applicant work on
improving that southeast corner, And my other point is that I don't think there should be gates at
the entrances, I think that in keepipg with thè public/semi-public goals, that gates don't denote
that feeling for that", And also I think it wòuld improve fire safety access and sheriff access if
there's no gates on the main entrances, So I think that a gate should be prohibited. No other
churches in Chanhassen have entrance gateS. I think that's kind of unusual and not welcoming to
have gates at a church, Religious type facility. And that's it on the gates, Then my third point is
the way this trail, I'm glad to hear that they're open to the public, I had no idea that they were
and I think they should be posted as now open to the public, The hours that are currently on the
gates, it would appear as though those were the times...so I'd like to see a condition addressing
that. The point that Barb brought up about camping. That was a new one to me and I think there
should be something in, Bob answer me this, In the design standards it talks about community
uses. Camping is not on that list so are we covered by that?
Generous: ... want to make sure, if you say prohibiting...
Kind: Okay, so I think we should amend the design. Would that be the way to go to amend the
design standards?
Bill Griffith: Mr, Chairman, maybe I can address that. There's no intent to have camping, We
would not oppose a restriction against camping, In fact there's no intent other than.., so I don't
think that's really a concern, certainly for US...to have that clearly stated, we have no objection.
Kind: Okay, About Linda's concern, Then I think Barb's...l'd like to include a condition that
they, the applicant consider a trail along the, I thought I heard you ask for the west side of
Powers.. ,and then a noise, loud speaker and condition... And then Linda's concerns about an

residential, medium density residential, public/semi-public, and parks and open space to
public/semi-public. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously.
LuAnn Sidney made the motion for Conceptual and Preliminary planned unit development-
officefmstitutional approval.
Conrad: Is there a second?
Kind: I second that and I have some fiiendly amendments to add. Number 4, Amend the design
standards to (a), prohibit gates at driveway entrances, (b), to specify that no more than 30% of
the site be altered ftom it's natural state. (c), permanent loud speakers are not allowed in open
buildings. (d), prohibit outside camping. Are you okay with that?
Burton: ...1 have a comment on the gate. As I think about it, they already have agate. I think
that...additional gate...
Kind: No other church has a gate. Public/semi-public.
Conrad: Our parks do,
Kind: They do?
BIackowiak: ...
Kind: So my 4(a) currently says, prohibit gates at driveway entrances. Maybe it should specify
future or additional.
Conrad: Additional.
Kind: Okay. Okay, take them one by one?
Conrad: I wasn't sure you...
Kind: Well, I think this is the place to do it.
Conrad: You are right.
Kind: (b), specify that no more than 30% of the site is altered nom it's natural state, I think it
gives a little bit more teeth to, with our design standards,..
Conrad: See I have a comment on that...

permanent loud speakers are allowed at open buildings. I'm amending the design standards to
specifY no permanent loud speakers are allowed... Okay?
.
Conrad: I guess. ,.I don't think a point". worth having in the design standards,
Kind: Let's have (c) say applicant work with staff to restrict, to limit...
Conrad: Well we do have the power.
Burton: We have the power but we don't have to worry...
Kind: What do you think about that Bob?
Generous: The loud speakers?
Kind: No, to specifY that no more than 30% of the site may be altered,
Generous: ...
Kind: 1 was just trying to address Alison's concerns... So leaveit at approximately? Okay.
Okay, I'm adding a fourth condition to LuAnn's motion that says, amend the design standards to
(a), prohibit additional gates at driveway entrances, I'm trying to read through my scribbles here.
(b), For staff, or the applicant to work with staff regarding putting limits on loud speakers and
camping.
Burton: I'll second that.
Sidney moved, Burton seconded that the Planning Commission recommends to the City
Council Conceptual and Preliminary Planned Unit Development-Office/Institutional
approval ofPUD #00-1, subject to the following conditions:
1. The developer shall enter into a Planned Unit Development Agreement and provide the
necessary security required by the agreement.
2. The developer must comply with the Eckankar Religious Campus Development Design
Standards.
3. A conservation easement or other form of preservation mechanism shall be established to
permanently preserve the natural areas.

32
Planning Commission Meeting - AprilS, 2000
(b) The applicant shall work with the city staff regarding putting limits on the
use of loud speakers and camping on the site.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously.
BIackowiak: I'll jump in on the next one. I'll give Deb the short one, I move that the Planning
Commission recommends to the City Council approval of the Site Plan #00-5 for a 60,000 square
foot administrative office and archives building, and a 10,000 square foot chapel, plans prepared
by Korsunsky, Krank, Erickson Architects, Inc, dated February 25, 2000, subject to conditions I
through 33. And I would like to add, condition 33 should be clarified with the engineering
department to determine the exact width of the driveway access. I would like to add condition
34. That the applicant and staff revisit the southern most point of the building to determine what
changes, if any, can be made to the side that the public sees. Condition 35. That the applicant
and staff examine the possibility of a sidewalk on the east side of the site, which is the west side
of Powers Boulevard.
Kind: I second that and a couple of friendly amendments. Number 3, If the loading dock area
stays where it is I would like screening be a little bit better and to change that to read, provide at
least 7 to 12 foot evergreens for buffering of the loading dock area. Okay, number 10. I'd like to
cIarify...to figure out that No Parking Fire Lane should be in quotes, To make it clear that's the
type of sign, not that...required. And then let's see, Alison went to 34. What number are you up
to Alison? '
BIackowiak: I added 34 and 35. So you would be at 36.
Kind: I would like to see 36 condition suggesting, stating that signs stating that, I put this in
quotes, "Trails are Open to the Public" or something like that, shall be posted at trail heads. And
number 37. That, this is a nit but I'll put it in now. ..that the east and west elevations shall be
corrected on the site plan.
Conrad: Do you accept those mendly amendments...?
BIackowiak: But you know what, I don't know if! want to accept all of these, Number 3 I will,
I would just say.
Conrad: Let's go through them one by one. The first one on the loading dock screening..,
Blackowiak: My concern is, I don't want to specify 12 evergreens, I mean 12 foot. What if the
correct number is determined by the City Forester is 18. You know what I mean? Let's have the
City Forester take a look at it.
Kind: Okay.
BIackowiak: That's my concern. Number 10 I accept. Number 36, I don't think we can say,
We can suggest, We can't make it a condition.
33
Planning Commission Meeting - April 5, 2000
Kind: The 1raiIs are open to the public?
Blackowiak: Yeah, I don't think we can really say that. It's not our property,
Kind: So I would change 36 to say, that the applicant consider posting signs stating.
BJackowiak: That I would accept.
Kind: That the trails are open to the public at the trail heads,
BIackowiak: You know, I don't even know if we can,..
Conrad: It won't get,., It's not hard to consider.
Kind: So you're okay with consider then?
Blackowiak: Instead of, okay. I'll accept consider on 37. And then what's your other one?
Kind: So number 3 should be revised to the applicant work with the City Forester to determine
the adequate buffering for the loading dock area.
Conrad: ...one at a time.
Kind: I do have one other discussion item, Is this considered a laundry list to put in conditions.
Should we consider tabling this item.., Even though I seconded the motion and add a bunch of
conditions.. .
Conrad: Well you made a motion and a second.
Kind: I don't have to. I don't think I do,
Conrad: You can vote any way you want...
Blackowiak moved, Kind seconded that the Planning Commission recommends to the City
Council approval of the Site Plan #00-5 for a 60,000 square foot administrative office and

ECKANKAR RELIGIOUS CAMPUS PROJECT
Findings of Fact Regarding
Decision on Need for Environmental Impact Statement
I. PROJECf DESCRIPTION
Eckankar proposes to construct a religious campus development in Chanhassen,
Minnesota, consisting of 430,000 gross square feet of office/institutional uses.
The project location is bound by Highway 5/West 78th Street to its south, Lake Ann
Community Park to its west, and Powers Boulevard to its east, and residential homes to
the north. Downtown Chanhassen is directly east of the proposed site. Primary access
will be from West 78th Street and Powers Boulevard.
"Eckankar Religious Campus" is intended to be a spiritual community mixing
administrative offices and institutional/teaching facilities on the site.
Building design standards will coordinate building styles, landscaping, hardscapes,
signage, lighting and other design features.
The project site is 173 acres and is a proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD). The
proposed plan includes:
· 27.7 acres of impervious surface.
· Approximately a maximum of 1,797 proposed parking stalls. However, the
design standards will require that only 60 percent of the stalls be installed. The balance
of parking can be reserved in proof of parking.
· 9. I acres of wetland to remain on site.
· 26.4 acres of existing tree cover to remain on site.
The site will maintain a significant amount of undeveloped land (68%) on site with
approximately 16% impervious surface proposed. Approximately nine percent of the site
will be urban lawn and landscaping. Some of the primary environmental impacts are
highlighted below and described in greater detail within the applicable categories of the
EAW.
Existing Tree Canopy Cover - Existing canopy cover is approximately 26
acres of deciduous trees. This is proposed to remain after completion of the
project. Pockets of vegetation will remain in or near wetland areas, with a
Eckankar Religious Campus
EA W Findings of Fact
Page 2
majority of the tree cover to be concentrated along the western portion of the
property near Lake Ann.
Site Preparation - Site grading will occur on approximately 47 acres of the
173 acre site. Erosion and sedimentation control measures will be constructed
prior to initiation of site grading and will remain in place through the construction
process.
Storm Water Runoff - Storm water runoff will be distributed to three
ponding areas on site to provide sediment and/or nutrient removal. In most cases,
the treatment ponding will be adjacent to wetlands remaining on site. In all,
3.1 acres of storm water ponding is proposed on site. Future runoff rates for the
developed site will be at or below existing runoff rates from the site.
Wetlands - The proposed site plan will impact 0 acres of the 9.1 acres of
wetland on site.
II. REASONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Eckankar Religious Campus project meets and exceeds the state Environmental Assessment
Worksheet (EA W) threshold for institutional development (Minnesota Rule 4410.4300, Subp,
14). Pursuant to Minnesota Rule 4410.1000, Subp. 4, the Eckankar Religious Campus Master
Plan EA W addresses the cumulative impacts of the project.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS
The Eckankar Religious Campus EA W was submitted to the Environmental Quality Board on
February 28, 2000. The EA W Notice of Availability was published in the March 6, 2000 issue of
the Minnesota EOB Monitor. Copies of the EA W were mailed to all of the agencies and
organizations on the EQB official EA W distribution list. The 30-day comment period ended on
April 5, 2000.
IV. COMMENTSONTHEEAW
During the comment period, letters of comment were received from the following agencies,'
organizations and individuals:

Minnesota Department of Transportation
The comment letters on the Eckankar Religious Campus EA Ware included as attachments to the
staff report for the Eckankar Religious Campus. Following is a summary of the comments
received and responses to the comments.
A. Carver County Public Works
1. Requested that they be provided the opportunity to comment on traffic in the
future.
RESPONSE: The design standards require an update to the traffic study after 90,000 of
additional development is undertaken in the northern portion of the site. In addition, the
county will be notified and requested to comment on each site plan application since the
project accesses the county road system.
B. Minnesota Historical Society
L The Minnesota Historical Society commented that the area has no known or suspected
archeological properties.
RESPONSE: No response
C. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
I. The DNR commented that potential storm water runoff could be reduced.
RESPONSE: The site will only have 16 percent impervious surface. The development
will provide ample opportunity to permit sheet flow of storm water over pervious areas.
D. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
1. An indirect source permit (ISP) is required.
RESPONSE: The developer must apply for an ISP.
2. The MPCA urges that traffic mitigation measures be implemented.
RESPONSE: No response necessary.

3. MPCA staff notes that 1,797 parking spaces are proposed, but only 1,595 parking spaces
are required.
RESPONSE: The applicant, in preparing the concept plan, incorporated a worse case
scenario, The City ofChanhassen initially assumed a singular project which would

RE: Eckankar Religious Campus Master Plan
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W)
Dear Mr. Generous:
The Department of Natural Resources has reviewed the EA W for the Eckankar Religious Campus Master
Plan project. We offer the following comments for your consideration.
Our only comment relates to the discussion potential storm water runoff impacts contained in Item 17,
Opportunities are present to reduce the volume of runoff leaving the site once it is fully developed.
Approaches include use of "rain gardens" or less expensive, but land intensive, techniques that direct runoff
over large areas for eventual infiltration. Consideration should also be given to having the project meet the
Riley-Purgatory-BluffCreek Watershed District's proposed rules that require: I) infiltration of3/4,inch
water over new impervious surface, and 2) extended detention of water leaving the treatment ponds.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this project. The project does not require preparation of an
environmental impact statement (EIS) based upon natural resource considerations. We look forward to
receiving your record of decision and responses to comments at the conclusion of the environmental
review. Minnesota Rules part 4410.1700, subparts 4 & 5, require you to send us your Record of Decision
within five days of deciding this action. Any questions that you may have about this letter should be
directed to Bill Johnson of my staff; he can be reached at (651) 296-9229.

RE; Eckankar Religious Campus Master Plan Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W)
Dear Mr. Generous:
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the Eckankar Religious Campus project to be
built in the city of Chanhassen, Carver County. Based on the infonnation contained in the EA W, the
Environmental Planning and Review Office staff believes that significant effects related to Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) issues are not likely to occur as a result of the project. Therefore, the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) does not appear to be needed for MPCA-related
approvals. However we do have the following comments and concerns:
An Indirect Source Permit (ISP) is required for the project since the proposed number of parking spaces
exceeds the parking spaces threshold requirernent needed for an ISP. The MPCA staff met with the
project consultant to discuss the traffic and air quality analysis needed for the EA Wand the ISP
application.
The EA W document has adequately addressed both traffic and air quality impacts expected from the
proposed project. The traffic study conducted for the project includes average daily traffic generated, trip
generation and distribution estimates, and level of service (LOS) capacity analysis. A LOS capacity
analysis was conducted for weekday peak hour conditions and for Sunday peak hour "event" conditions
for each phase of the project. No significant traffic impacts are expected to result from the proposed
project. However, the EA W recommends several mitigation measures to alleviate impacts under the year
2011 Sunday peak hourworst"case "event" scenario. The MPCA staff urges that these measures be
implemented to encourage smooth traffic flow within the project area.
The MPCA staff notes in Table I (page 4) that 1,595 parking spaces are required by City Ordinance and
that 1,797 total parking spaces are proposed for the project. Please explain the difference in the number
of parking spaces required and the additional number of parking spaces proposed (202 parking spaces),
Modeling future traffic flow and the resulting carbon monoxide concentrations in the project area
identified the potential air quality impacts of the proposed project. The air quality analysis shows that
based upon the predicted one-hour and eight-hour maximum carbon monoxide concentrations for the
years 2002 (one year after Phase I) and 2011 (one year after project build out), no violations of the state
ambient air quality standards for carbon monoxide are predicted,

Lastly, the traffic study concludes that no roadway improvements are required on adjacent roadways to
accommodate traffic generated by the proposed project. However, the future extension of West 78th
Street is assumed in the traffic study, including a LOS capacity analysis at the West 78th Street/future site
access intersection. Therefore, if any roadway improvements assumed in the traffic analysis were also
assumed in the air quality analysis, a legally binding commitment to funding those improvements is
needed before an ISP can be issued in final form. The ISP will include a provision requiring completion
of the assumed improvement before occupancy of the proposed project.
We look forward to receiving the required responses to our comments, and your decision on the need for
an EIS, If you have any questions regarding our comment letter, please contact me at (651) 296-7432.

RE: EA W - Chanhassen-Eckankar Campus
Metropolitan Council District 4
Referral File No. 18214-1
Dear Mr, Generous:
Metropolitan Council staff have reviewed the environmental assessment worksheet (EA W) to
determine its adequacy and accuracy in addressing regional concems. The project proposes to
continue development of a 430,000 square foot religious campus that will include 380,000 square
feet of campus building facilities in addition to the existing 50,000 square foot temple.
The staff review has concluded that the EA W is complete and accurate with respect to regional
concerns and raises no major issues of consistency with Council policies, An EIS is not
necessary for regional purposes. However, staff provides the following cominents for your
consideration:
Environmental Services (Judy Sventek 651-602-1156)
Item] 0 - Cover Types
This section indicates that the size of impervious surface will increase from 4.8 to 27.7
acres. Of the total 173.3,acre site, 16 percent will be impervious, nine percent will be
lawn and landscaping, seven percent will be wetlands and storm water ponds, 53 percent
will be brush/grassland and 15 percent will be wooded/forest. The project proposer
needs to work with the city of Chanhassen, the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed
District (RPBCWD), and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to design
and construct the best erosion control and stormwater management practices for the
project area. Stormwater management practices may include things such as detention
basins, infiltration basins, filter strips and vegetated swales, while erosion control
measures may include things such as hay bales, silt fence and check dams.
Item]2 - Physical Impacts on Water Resources
The EA W states that the proposed project will not alter existing wetlands and
watercourses on the site. One stormwater pond for a future phase project is shown in an
area identified as wetland on the city's wetland map. This area is not identified on the
National Wetlands Inventory map. This area will need to be delineated in the field prior
to approval of that phase of the project. If the delineation confirms the presence of a
wetland in this area, the configuration of the stormwater pond will need to be modified to
avoid direct impacts to the wetland.

Item 17 - Erosion and Sedimentation
The EA W states that approximately 30 acres are to be graded or excavated. The
proposed plan will alter 2.3 acres of steep slope areas. Proper erosion and sedimentation
control practices need to be used during grading of the project. Council staff suggests
that the project proposer work closely with staff from the MPCA and the RPBCWD to
develop the best options for erosion and sediment control at the site. Erosion control
plans for this site need to be consistent with the MPCA's urban "best management
practices" titled Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas, or an equivalent set of
standards for erosion control, and with RPBCWD standards.
Item 18 - Water Quality - Surface Water Runoff
The EA W states that after development, there will be three sub,drainage areas, The central
portion ofthe site will drain to the proposed north and central stormwater treatment ponds prior
to being discharged to on,site wetlands. The southwest part of the site will drain into the
proposed south stormwater treatment ponds. To be consistent with the Council's Interim Strategy
and to maximize pollutant removal efficiencies, all wet detention ponds should be designed
according to NURP or similar criteria for wet detention basins.
This will conclude the Council's review of the EA W. No formal action on the EA W will be
taken by the Council. If you have any questions or need further information; please contact
Linda O'Connor, principal reviewer, at 651-602-lO98.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation has reviewed the Eckankar site plan. We
apologize for the delay in responding. We recommend consideration of the following'
comments prior to further development.
· The site plan does not adequately identify MnlDOT right of way. The final site
plan/plat should identify any MnlDOT monuments found and distance nom
centerline on TH5. If you have any questions regarding this documentation please
contact JeffHoffstrom in our Surveys section (612) 797-3108. Please forward a copy
of the final plat with these corrections to Jeff at 2055 N, Lilac Dr., Golden Valley,
MN 55422.
· Mn/DOT needs to review hydraulic computations and drainage area maps showing
existing and proposed conditions and addressing 100-year storms. Existing drainage
patterns and rates of runoff affecting Mn/DOT right of way should be perpetuated.
The site's stonn water discharge rate must not increase. Please forward a copy of
these plans to Patrick McLarnon in our Water Resources section at the Golden Valley
address listed above.
A stormwater drainage permit will also be required. Please contact Keith VanWagner
in our Permits section at (651) 582-1443 for the appropriate forms and guidelines.
· Powers Boulevard is County State Aid Highway 17 and the 78th Street nontage road
is Municipal State Aid route 113.

. MnlDOT's policy is to assist local governments in promoting compatibility between
land use and highways. Such uses as the proposed campus, when located adjacent to
highways often result in complaints about traffic noise. Traffic noise nom TH5 could
exceed noise standards established by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the
U.S, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Department of
Transportation.
MnlDOT policy regarding development adjacent to existing highways prohibits the
expenditure of highway funds for noise mitigation measures. The project proposer
should assess the noise situation arid take the action deemed necessary to minimize
the impact of any highway noise. If you have any questions about this noise policy
please contact Jim Hansen in our Transportation Planning section at (651) 582-1392.
