APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Section 5-5-5 requires that the minimum lot area in the RSF
District be 15 ,000 square feet with a minimum lot frontage of 90
' feet and a minimum lot depth of 150 feet (Attachment #1) .
Subdivision Ordinance, Section 12 , 6 .12 , states that there shall
' be no direct vehicular or pedestrian access from individual lots
to collectors , arterials or limited access highways (Attachment #2 ) .
REFERRAL AGENCIES
' City Engineer Attachment #3
' Soil Conservation Service Attachment #4
DNR DNR commented that the plans
meet all of their specifications .
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to subdivide 2 .2 acres into 5 single
family lots . The property is zoned RSF, Residential Single Family
which requires a minimum lot size of 15 ,000 square feet and 90 feet
of public street frontage. The property currently has one single
family residence with an existing driveway access onto Minnewashta
Parkway. The site is heavily vegetated with underbrush and a few
areas of pine trees and larger deciduous trees . The site has a
slightly steep slope in the eastern portion of the property towards
Lake Minnewashta and also slopes toward the south to a low area
adjacent to the property.
Lot Layout
Five lots are proposed along Minnewashta Parkway. All of the lots
contain the required 15 ,000 square feet, the 150 feet of lot depth
and the 90 feet of street frontage.
Utilities
There is city sewer and water available to the site. Currently
there is only one assessment to the property. Therefore, if the
four additional lots are approved, there would be four additional
sewer and water trunks assessed to the property.
Streets
The property is serviced by Minnewashta Parkway. Minnewashta
' Parkway is considered a collector and the location of this site is
along a curve in Minnewashta Parkway which makes access from the
site difficult. There is an existing private road to the north of
the site which serves three properties to the east of the proposed
I
C

chwaba-Winchell Subdivision

site. When staff first reviewed this proposal with the appli-
cant, we felt that the existing private drive should be improved
as a public street. The existing three lots would then have
public street frontage and the proposed five lots could also be
serviced from an interior street rather than have separate access
points onto Minnewashta Parkway. The Subdivision Ordinance sta-
tes that individual access should not be permitted on collector
streets . The applicant contacted the property owners to the east
to suggest improving the private drive to a public street. The
property owners to the east would not accept this proposal
( Attachment #5) .
The location of the site on Minnewashta Parkway is on a curve
which creates site distance problems and staff could not permit
each of the five lots to have a separate access onto Minnewashta
Parkway. If the existing private road to the east would not be
improved to a public street, staff had to review other options.
There is an existing driveway servicing the existing house. The
applicant has proposed to service Lots 3 and 5 with the existing
driveway and service Lots 1 and 2 with a new drive and therefore
only creating one additional access onto Minnewashta Parkway.
The Planning and Engineering Departments have reviewed this pro- 11 posal and have found it to be acceptable. The location of the
new driveway to service Lots 1 and 2 has good site distance and
would be accept-able. The existing driveway has poor site
distance to the south due to an existing tree and berm in the
right-of-way. Staff is recommending that the tree be removed and
that the berm be graded to improve visibility.
Miscellaneous ,
The existing trees on the site are of marginal quality. There
is a stand of pines and some larger deciduous trees that are
located such that they can be preserved. Therefore, staff does
not recommend that a tree removal plan be required. There is an
existing house and accessory building on the site at this time.
If the subdivision is approved, the existing house will be
located on Lot 4 and the accessory building will be located on
Lot 3 . The Zoning Ordinance does not permit accessory buildings
to be located on a site without a principal structure.
Therefore, the accessory building should be removed from Lot 3 .
RECOMMENDATION I
Planning staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the
following motion:
"The Planning Commission recommends approval of Subdivision #88-1
as shown on the plat stamped "Received January 4 , 1988" subject
to the following conditions :
1 . Lots 3 - 5 shall be serviced by the existing driveway and
Lots 1 and 2 shall share a driveway. I

2 . Four additional sewer and water assessments shall be assessed
towards the property.
3 . The accessory building on Lot 3 shall be removed.
' 4 . The applicant shall remove the existing tree just south of
the existing driveway within the right-of-way to improve site
' distance.
5 . The applicant shall enter into a development contract with
the City and provide the City with the necessary financial
' sureties.
6 . The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the
watershed district, DNR and other appropriate regulatory
agencies and comply with their conditions of approval.
7 . Construction on Lake Minnewashta Parkway shall be prohibited.
8 . Lots that are required to share a singular sanitary sewer
service will be required to provide a 6-inch cleanout on
each branch of the service located between the house and the
wye (refer to Attachment #2 ) .
9 . Lots required to share a singular water stub will be required
to provide a curb at the wye and on each branch of the wye
( refer to Attachment #3 ) .
' 10 . An acceptable grading plan shall be provided by the developer
for the corrective sight distance grading of Lots 4 and 5
prior to the issuance of building permits .
' 11 . A 15-inch diameter culvert will be required underneath the
northerly proposed driveway.
12 . A grading, drainage and erosion control plan for each lot
will be required as part of the building permit application
process .
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
' A motion was made by Headla and seconded by Erhart to deny the
subdivision. Headla, Erhart and Ellson voted in favor of the
motion. Emmings, Conrad and Batzli were opposed. The motion
failed because it was a tie vote.
The three Commissioners denying the subdivision stated that the
reasons for recommending denial was that the lots should be ser-
viced by one access onto Minnewashta Parkway.
11
I
Schwaba-Winchell Subdivision

Since the motion failed, the Planning Commission then recommended ,
that the subdivision be passed onto the City Council for their
action. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
STAFF UPDATE
Staff has been working with the applicant in reviewing other '
options for access to the proposed five lots from Minnewashta
Parkway. The applicant has provided a sketch plan with the five
lots being serviced by a public street in the form of a cul-de-
sac
from Minnewashta Parkway (Attachment #6) . The location of
the cul-de-sac is just north of the existing driveway on
Minnewashta Parkway. The applicant is proposing five single
family lots with Lot 1 , Block 1 being serviced as a flag lot from
the cul-de-sac, All of the lots meet the required lot area of
15 ,000 square feet and all have the required 90 feet of frontage
except for Lot 1 , Block 1 which would require a variance.
The primary issue raised by the proposed subdivision is whether
or not Section 6-12 of the Chanhassen Subdivision Ordinance permits
shared driveways on collectors and arterials or if a shared
driveway would be interpreted as an individual driveway and not
permitted. Staff interpreted this section as prohibiting all
individual driveways servicing one lot on a collector or
arterial. A driveway servicing more than one lot would be con-
sidered a private drive and not an individual access and would
therefore, be permitted. The City Attorney, in his memo dated
February 17, 1988, has provided his interpretation of Section
6-12 (Attachment #7) .
The City Engineer has reviewed the second proposal with the 1
public street servicing the five lots to determine whether this
option is preferred over the initial proposal of two accesses .
The City Engineer has determined that one internal street ser-
vicing the lots is preferred over two accesses onto Minnewashta
Parkway (Attachment #8) .
CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION
Should the City Council prefer one internal public street ser- '
vicing the proposed subdivision, then staff recommends that the
City Council move to have the Planning Commission review a preli-
minary
plat with an internal street. Should the City Council
feel the initial proposal is acceptable, then staff recommends
the following conditions :
1 . Lots 3 - 5 shall be serviced by the existing driveway and
Lots 1 and 2 shall share a driveway.

Planning File 88-1 Subdivision
The site is located adjacent to Minnewashta Parkway approximately
mile north of Highway 5 (refer to Attachment #1) . The 2 . 2 acre
site is comprised of open field with steep side slopes on the
west side of the property.
Sanitary Sewer 1
Municipal sanitary sewer service is available to the site from
four sewer services which are stubbed out to the property line.
Since the number of proposed lots exceeds the number of existing
services , a few lots will be required to share services.
Water 1
Municipal water service is available to the site by four water
services which also have been stubbed out to the property boun-
dary. Water services will also have to be shared as no construc-
tion will be allowed on Minnewashta Parkway.
Driveways 1
The plans indicate that two driveways are to access Minnewashta
Parkway. The northerly driveway possesses adequate site
distance. The southerly driveway has an obstructed view to the
south. Corrective grading of the berm along the northwest side
of Lot 4 , Block 1 will be required to improve these site distan-
ces.
Removal of the oak tree at the north property corner may be
required dependent upon the success of the corrective grading.
Drainage
The natural drainage pattern is characterized by overland sheet
flow with the high point existing on the west half of Lot 3 , 1

Please find attached a soil map sheet showing approximate boundaries of
the proposed plat. Soil interpretations sheets are also included. Be
sure to review this information. It is general in nature and not in-
tended for site specific use.
The soils on the site do not appear to present any major limitations to
development. Regrading and revegetating disturbed areas quickly is im-
portant. If septic systems will be used, they should meet applicable
standards and be closely inspected during construction.

Chanhassen, Minnesota 55317
RE: Access Onto Arterial Streets
Dear JoAnn:
You asked me to review § 18-57 (L) of the Chanhassen City
Code to determine if the provision prohibited two lots sharing
one access via a driveway. The Code section states:
Where a proposed subdivision is adjacent to a limited access
highway, arterial, or collector street, there shall be no
direct vehicular or pedestrian access from individual lots
to such highways or streets. To the extent feasible access
to arterial streets shall be at intervals of not less than
one-fourth mile and through existing and established
crossroads. Access along collector streets will be
restricted and controlled on the final plat.
In my opinion, two lots sharing a single access would not violate
the provision. The provision states that "individual lots" can' t
have direct access. If two lots share any access then there is no
individual access, but a group access. The Supreme Court has
ruled that regulations, such as this, "should be construed
strictly against the City and in favor of the property owner. "
Frank' s Nursery Sales vs. City of Roseville, 295 N.W.2d 604, 608
(MN. 1980) . Accordingly, even though a construction of the
ordinance provision could be made that prohibits access by two
lots on a shared driveway, that interpretation would probably not
be upheld.
- yours,

MEMORANDUM
1 TO: Jo Ann Olsen, Asst. City Planner
IIFROM: Larry Brown, Asst. City Engineer Y
DATE: February 17, 1988
1 SUBJ: Concept Plan Review - Schwaba-Winchell, Update to January
14 , 1988 , Memo, Planning File #88-1 Subdivision
1 This memorandum is in reference to the attached "concept plan" as
submitted by the developer dated "Received February 18 , 1988"
( refer to Attachment #1) .
1 Sanitary Sewer
Municipal sanitary sewer service should still be obtained by the
1 four (4 ) existing sanitary sewer services extended to the pro-
perty boundary along Minnewashta Parkway. Use of the existing
services eliminates the need to disrupt Minnewashta Parkway.
I Two lots will be required to share one sewer service. A six
inch sanitary sewer cleanout should be located on each branch of
the shared service as specified in the previous memo.
1 Water Service
Municipal water service is available to the site by four (4 )
I existing water services which also have been extended to the
westerly property boundary. Two lots will be required to share
one water service. A curb stop should be placed on the property
I boundary and on the each of the branches of the service. The
developer should provide for utility easements where sanitary
sewer and water services are extended across neighboring lots.
IRoadway
The proposed cul-de-sac is preferred over the previous submittal
I of two driveway accesses onto Minnewashta Parkway due to the
reduction of potential traffic "conflict points" . Minnewashta
Parkway is classified as a collector street which should provide
1 traffice movements between major arterials and local streets .
Although the city' s code does not prohibit a shared driveway
access onto a collector street (refer to the City Attorney' s
letter dated February 17, 1988) , the number of traffic "conflict
Ipoints" should be minimized where possible.
I
Ms . Jo Ann Olsen
February 18 , 1988
Page 2
The applicant has provided for a 50 foot right-of-way which is in
accordance to the city standards for urban construction. As
stated in my January 14 , 1988 , memorandum, the proposed roadway
access onto Minnewashta Parkway must maintain 180 feet of sight
distance which corresponds to a 30 mph design speed. '
Corrective measures such as grading of the berm along the
westerly property boundary of Lot 5 , Block 1, and possible remo-
val of the large Maple tree (previously noted as an oak tree) ,
may be required of the developer to attain the required sight
distance.
Plans and specifications for construction of the roadway should
be submitted for approval by the City Council prior to the com-
mencement of any grading.
Driveways
The proposed driveway of Lot 1, Block 1 , was analyzed to insure '
that proper turning movements could safely be accomplished onto
Minnewashta Parkway. The proposed location of the driveway meets
the minimum turning path requirements for a passenger vehicle
according to the standards of the Minnesota Department of
Transportation . The proposed driveway access does conflict with
trail easements as requested by the Park and Recreation
Department.
Drainage
A 15 inch diameter culvert (minimum) should be placed underneath
the proposed cul-de-sac entrance. Plans which address roadway
drainage should be submitted as part of the plans and specifica- '
tions review.
Grading and Erosion Control
Each lot will be required to submit an acceptable grading, drainage
and erosion control plan to the City Engineer as part of the
building permit application process . '
Summary
Both of the submitted plans require improvements to increase the
sight distance for the entrances; however, the plans which pro-
pose the cul-de-sac was preferred due to the reduction of traffic
conflict points .

TO: Chanhassen City Council,

Staff Members
Regarding the proposed subdivision of the 2.19 acre Fischer property into five single family lots.
#1: Lot #1 does not appear to meet the lot depth requirement of 120 feet. Please explain. Lot #1
questionably meets the square foots a ordinance requirement at only 15,011 square feet.
rf k.11 v50111
#2: Lot#5 appears to be laid out in such a way that the house located on lot #4 will not meet the
minimum front yard set back requirement of 30 feet. It also appears the house may not meet the
set back requirement on the south side of 10 feet ATI-1E, C<t 1 ik[ta 4-k0ME,
30. a 1 -
#3: We therefore request a surveyors plat showing all lot lines and distance of the house from the
same. How will the council or planning commission be able to act on this subdivision without
knowing just where the existing house is located on the plat?

#4: Since 1980 the Chanhassen council and planning commission have approved the subdivision of
33 separate neighborhoods. These subdivisions have been both multi family and single family
developments. It is interesting to note that in almost every instance the home sites have
averaged 1/2 acre each. With respect to the Fischer property, all surrounding property with
homes have lot sizes of one acre or more. Moreover, the most recent nearby development of
Maple Ridge has sites for 13 homes on seven acres, which therefore average about 1/2 acre each.

We have no objection to having homes built on the 2.19 acre Fischer property, however, as you can
plainly see from the plot in front of you, an obvious attempt is being made to gain the minimum 15,000
sq. ft. lot size by using oblique property lines and odd lot configurations. '
The fact of the matter is that the Fischer property will just not support five home sites in a fashion
compatible with this neighborhood. '
We therefore request the council to reject the proposal for this subdivision containing five lots and to
accept only a revised proposal containing a maximum of three lots.
Thank you for your consideration.
