PLAT LAYOUT
Per Council's previous direction, the developer has to provide a public roadway easement over
the northerly 43.5 feet of Lot 12, Block 2. Also, the applicant needs to show a lO-foot public
drainage and utility easement along the east side of Lot 12, Block 2.
All of the proposed right-of-way meets the current City standard of 60-feet wide with 60-foot
cul-de-sac radii. The width and location of the proposed drainage and utility easements will be
verified when final construction plans are submitted in the near future.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP}
Water Quality Fees
Because of the impervious surface associated with this development, the water quality fees for
this proposed development are based on single-family residential development rates of
$1,093/acre. Based on the proposed developed area of approximately 11.94 acres, the water
quality fees associated with this project are $13,050.
Water Quantity Fees
The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average
citywide rate for the installation of water quality systems. This cost includes land acquisition,
proposed SWMP culverts, open channels, and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage.
Single-family residential developments have a connection charge of $2,705 per developable acre.
This results in a water quantity fee of approximately $32,298 for the proposed development.
SWMP Credits
The subdivision will be given a credit for on-site storm water quality improvements that are
designed to treat runoff from the subdivision to NURP standards. The credit will be calculated
using the following formula: The per acre water quality connection charge will be multiplied by the
on-site drainage area for water quality treatment facilities. This value will then be multiplied by
50% (credit of $12,799). Credit will not be granted if the storm water from contributing off-site
areas is already treated to NURP standards. The water quality connection charges that correspond
to the land uses that contribute to the storm water ponds will be used to calculate credits. Credit
will also be given for the installation of outlet control structures (credit of $2,500.00).
At this time, the total SWMP fee due payable to the City at the time of final plat recording is
$30,049.00.

WETLANDS
Existing Wetlands
One wetland basin was delineated on December 8, 2003, by Wetland and Wildlife Consulting,
Inc. The delineated wetland located along the southern portion of the property has been
classified as a Type 3 wetland with Type 1 characteristics around the wetland perimeter.
Vegetation within the wetland boundary included reed canary grass and river bulrush.
Proposed Wetland Impacts and Mitigation
Proposed impacts to the wetland include the filling of 5,756 square feet of wetland to
accommodate a connection to Pipewood Lane and the installation of a 42" culvert within Hidden
Creek, a DNR protected creek.
Mitigation of filling activities is planned by creating 7,420 square feet of created wetland area
(New Wetland Credit) and 4,317 square feet of credit for on-site storm water ponding (Public
Value Credit).
The applicant should create a five-year maintenance and monitoring plan for new wetland
construction to ensure proposed wetland functions and values are obtained and non-native
vegetation does not encroach into the mitigation area. The monitoring plan should include the
preparation of annual reports as required by the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act.
Wetland Buffers
Wetland buffer widths of 16.5 feet to 20.0 feet must be maintained around all wetlands on-site.
All structures must maintain a 40-foot setback from the wetland buffer edge. Wetland buffers
and wetland buffer setbacks should be shown on the grading plan. Wetland buffer areas should
be preserved, surveyed and signed in accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. The
applicant should install wetland buffer edge signs, under the direction of City staff, before
construction begins and will pay the City $20 per sign.
CREEK
The DNR protected creek running from Lake Minnewashta to Lake Virginia flows through the
site. This creek was heavily impacted during the course of the Hidden Creek Estates subdivision.
The applicant should develop detailed plans (including an erosion and sediment control plan) for
the installation of the culvert at Pipewood Lane. A professionally engineered temporary
diversion of the stream through a stable channel during culvert installation is an acceptable
alternative if winter construction is not proposed. All structures should maintain a minimum
50-foot setback from the ordinary high water level of the creek.

LANDSCAPING AND TREE PRESERVATION
The developer has prepared a revised landscape plan in conformance with the conditions of the
preliminary plat.
PARK & RECREATION
Comprehensive Park Plan
The proposed Hidden Creek Meadows is located very near Cathcart Park. Cathcart Park is a
neighborhood park owned by the City of Shorewood, but located within the corporate boundaries
of Chanhassen. Convenient access to the park is provided by the proposed sidewalk connection
along Pipewood Lane connecting with Cartway Lane. No parkland dedication is recommended
as a condition of this plat. Full park fees shall be collected at the rate in force at the time of final
plat. Park fees for 2005 are $4,000.00 per single-family lot. Since there are currently four
single-family homes within the development site, park fees will be required for 17 of the 21 lots.
Comprehensive Trail Plan
This property abuts the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority Light Rail Transit
Corridor. Currently this corridor is managed by Three Rivers Park District as a regional trail
with an aggregate surface. Access to the trail from Hidden Creek Meadows is provided by the
proposed sidewalk connections to Pipewood Court and Cartway Lane. No additional trail
construction is recommended as a condition of this plat.
GRADING, DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL
The plans propose to grade about 75% of the site for the 21 new house pads, proposed street
ending with a cul-de-sac, and a storm water pond. The proposed grading will prepare the site for
full basement, lookout, and walkout-type dwellings. The plan proposes a retaining wall in the
back yard of Lot 7, Block 1. It appears the wall will be approximately six feet in height. The
applicant should be aware that any retaining wall over 4 feet will require a building permit and
must be designed by a Minnesota Registered Professional Structural Engineer. Also, the
retaining wall must be 20 feet off the back of the building pad to provide adequate area for a
backyard and deck.
The existing site drains to a wetland along the south side of the parcel. Under developed
conditions, the street, front yards and most of the house roofs and rear yard drainage will be
conveyed via storm sewer to a proposed storm water pond for treatment prior to discharging to
the existing wetland. The proposed development will be required to meet the existing storm
water runoff rates for the 10- and 100-year, 24-hour storm events. The applicant must be aware
that any existing culvert at the north side of existing Cartway Lane must be connected to the
proposed storm sewer system. The applicant has done a good job of attempting to preserve the
existing drainage pattern of the wetland on the site through the use of a storm sewer culvert.
Where the proposed street has bisected the wetland, the culvert will act as a conduit and allow
Final Plat - Hidden Creek Meadows Addition
Planning Case 04-31
June 13, 2005
Page 5
the water to flow as it would under existing conditions. According to the City's Surface Water
Management Plan (SWMP), the proposed culvert must be a minimum size of 36-inches in
diameter to facilitate proper drainage through the site. The developer is proposing a 42-inch
diameter culvert under the road, which exceeds the minimum size requirement. By oversizing
the culvert, the developer is being conservative and helping to ensure that the drainage will flow
freely through the site.
Staff has received drainage calculations for the development and only minor revisions are
necessary. The proposed pond is required to be designed to National Urban Runoff Program
(NURP) standards. The storm sewer will have to be designed for a lO-year, 24-hour storm event.
Drainage and utility easements will need to be dedicated on the final plat over the public storm
drainage system including the pond, drainage swales, and wetlands up to the lOO-year flood
level. The minimum utility easement width must be 20 feet wide.
To help address concerns raised at the initial Public Hearing for this development, the applicant
has submitted a drainage exhibit for the area in and around the development. This exhibit shows
topography and critical HWL (high water level) elevations for the ponds and wetlands on the
development site and upstream/downstream of the site. The HWL of the wetlands on the exhibit
are from the City's SWMP plan. Most importantly, the exhibit shows the HWL of the wetland on
the south side of TH 7. This wetland is upstream of the development site and was one of the
areas of concern raised by the public at the last Public Hearing. The exhibit lists the HWL of the
wetland as 943.4 which, based on the topography on the exhibit, is 4+ feet lower than any of the
adjacent homes. In order for any of these homes to flood, the storm water in the wetland would
have to rise up past elevation 948 which would also begin to flood Minnewashta Parkway.
The applicant has included silt fence around the grading perimeter. Adjacent to the pond and
wetlands, silt fence type II must be used. A 75-foot minimum rock construction entrance has
been shown at the street entrance to the site. In addition, an erosion control blanket will be
required for the steep slopes along the north property line of the site. The applicant should be
aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property owner.
All disturbed areas must be sodded or seeded and mulched within two weeks of grading
completion.
UTILITIES
Municipal sewer and water service is available to the site from existing mains, which run along
the eastern property line and from Pipewood Lane on the southwest corner of the parcel. The
applicant is proposing to extend sewer and water lines along the proposed streets to service the
proposed lots. The watermain will be looped through the site to avoid stagnant water issues.
According to the City's Finance Department records, there is a remaining assessment balance of
$25,477.05 on the parcel. This balance is required to be paid at the time of final plat recording.
Since the developer will be responsible for extending lateral sewer and water mains, the sanitary
sewer and water connection charges will be waived. However, the sanitary sewer and water
hookup charges will still be applicable for each lot. The 2005 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 for
Final Plat - Hidden Creek Meadows Addition
Planning Case 04-31
June 13, 2005
Page 6
sanitary sewer and $2,955 for watermain. Each of these charges is based on the number of SAC
units calculated by the Metropolitan Council. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be
specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance.
Public utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest
edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Detailed construction plans and
specifications must be submitted at the time of final plat for staff review. The applicant is
required to finance all of the proposed improvements. The applicant will also be required to
enter into a development contract with the City and to supply the necessary financial security in
the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee installation of the improvements and the
conditions of final plat approval. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies must be
obtained, including but not limited to the Watershed District, MPCA, Department of Health,
MnDOT, etc.
STREETS
The plans propose to extend Pipewood Lane, as the main road, approximately 1,300 feet within
the site. The public streets are shown within a 60-foot right-of-way, as per City ordinance along
with street pavement widths of 31-feet back-to-back and a 45.5-foot radius on the cul-de-sac.
Due to the long length of the proposed cul-de-sac and the practice of having two connections
int%ut of developments, staff is recommending that the existing gravel road known as Cartway
Lane be connected to the proposed cul-de-sac at the eastern border of the site. This will be an
interim connection until the properties to the north develop and Cartway Lane is vacated.
