FINAL PLAT
The applicant is requesting final plat approval to subdivide 13.22 acres into 16 lots and 2 outlots.
The site is zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development and is southeast of the intersection of Tigua
Lane and West 86a' Street, and north of Highway 212.
The density is 1.2 units per acre gross and 4 units per acre net after removing the roads, storm
ponds, wetlands and park. The applicant is proposing to develop the site in one phase. The outlots
contain wetlands, storm ponds and open space. The applicant intends to dedicate the outlots to
the city. All lots meet the minimum area, width and depth of the zoning ordinance requirements.
All lots are proposed to contain single - family homes. The applicant submitted several home designs
they intend to build.
Access is gained off of an internal road. There is a variance attached to the application that deals
with the length of the cul -de -sac serving this development. This variance was approved with the
preliminary plat.
All of the proposed lots meet the minimum width and depth requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Staff notes that the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and consistent with the
Zoning Ordinance, with the recommended conditions.
IZ•7\ 1]' I \1 1
The property lies north of Highway 212, east of County Road 101 and south of 86th Street. The
proposed access on 86th Street is located so as to minimize wetland impacts. To further reduce
wetland impacts staff supports a reduced right -of -way width (50 feet, with a 15 -foot front yard
drainage and utility easement) and a reduced street width (28 feet) for the portion of the road that
does not have any lots adjacent to it (approximately 400 feet). The remainder of the street and

right of way shall meet the City's minimum requirements. The proposed street curves do not
meet a 30 mph design speed; advanced warning and speed advisory signs would be required.
The proposed cul de sac is approximately 1,400 feet long, which exceeds the 800 -foot maximum
length stipulated in the City Code. Based on the lot configuration and wetland conditions on the
site, staff supports the proposed variance.
DRAINAGE AND GRADING
The developer hired Kallio Engineering to perform a hydrology analysis of the site. The study
includes the off -site drainage from the west and north. Runoff from the eastern half of the street
and the eastern lots is proposed to be treated in the proposed pond east of Lot 11, Block 1. A
portion of the street is proposed to drain to the proposed pond in the southwest corner of the
property. Runoff from the first 230 feet of the proposed street south of the intersection with
Tigua Lane is not proposed to be treated on site. The developer's engineer that prepared the
hydrology report has included this runoff in the analysis.
The following comments pertain to the hydrology analysis provided by the developer:
1. Peak discharge rates are proposed to increase at the following locations:
a. Runoff leaving the overall site for the snowmelt event.
b. Runoff leaving the western portion of Wetland A for the 2 -, 10- and 100 -year
design events.
c. Runoff leaving the site to the north of the eastern portion of Wetland A for the
snowmelt event.
2. The applicant must provide calculations (or submit a model) demonstrating that the
city's requirements for water quality are satisfied.
The impervious surface of some lots may be at or near the maximum impervious coverage
allowed once the home, driveway and required landings to exterior doors are constructed. Future
home owners of these lots would have limited or no opportunities to construct other site
amenities such as patios based on the plans provided.
During pre - submittal meetings with the developer, city staff expressed concern of potential high
groundwater elevations within the development. The developer responded by installing six
piezometers on the site that allow for the measurement of static water pressures. Though
groundwater was not encountered when soil borings were taken, groundwater is present in all
piezometers. The developer's soils engineer took seven readings between May 1 and Julyl6,
2013. Readings were also taken on May 5 and June 24, 2014. Based on the readings from
Boring #7 on May 5, 2014 the lowest floor elevation of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 need to be adjusted
to maintain three feet of separation from the groundwater. If groundwater is encountered during
site construction the lowest floor elevations of adjacent lots must be adjusted to maintain
minimum three feet of separation.
Mr. Todd Gerhardt
Preserve at Rice Lake — Planning Case 2013 -12
July 28, 2014
Page 11 of 21
The developer proposes to mass grade the site. The developer must acquire any necessary
permits from MnDOT for grading or drainage.
It is difficult to discern between the proposed contours, lot lines and setback lines on the grading
plan. The developer's engineer is requested to change the drawing line weights.
A 12 -inch trunk watermain extends from the townhome development to the west to the
Reflections development south of Highway 212. The property was assessed for this
improvement. According to city records this assessment has been paid.
The developer proposes to extend lateral watermain from this trunk line to service the
development. Based on the proposed elevations of the homes, the operating water pressures
within the homes will meet the minimum required per 10 States Standards; however, some
homes may choose to install a privately -owned and maintained booster to provide a higher water
pressure.
The plan includes a water service to the property to the north of the plat located at 8591 Tigua
Lane. This service will extend from the watermain within the cul de sac, through Lot 11, Block
1 and Outlot A. This service is not a public utility or a small utility (eg. gas, electric, phone);
therefore, the platted side yard drainage and utility easement on Lot 11 is not the appropriate
measure to allow for this water service. Upon consultation with the city attorney's office, an
easement from the owner of Lot 11, Block 1, Preserve at Rice Lake must be recorded in favor of
8591 Tigua Lane to allow for the water service installation. This easement shall be recorded
with the final plat. Additionally, an encroachment agreement is required for this water service as
it will lie within the drainage and utility easement within Lot 11, Block 1 and Outlot A. The
encroachment agreement shall be recorded against Lot 11, Block 1, and Outlot A, Preserve at
Rice Lake with the final plat.
The developer proposes to extend lateral sanitary sewer from the existing 8 -inch lateral sanitary
sewer north of the site. Final plat approval shall be contingent upon filing the drainage and
utility easement on the property to the north, 8591 Tigua Lane.
A portion of the trunk water and sewer hookup fees (WAC and SAC, respectively) must be paid
in cash with the final plat and are calculated as follows:
WAC
16 units x $1,886 /unit =
$30,176
SAC
16 units x $664 /unit =
$10,624
The remainder of the WAC and SAC fees, along with the Met Council SAC fee shall be paid
with the building permit application at the rate in effect at that time.
The proposed location of the catch basin on the east side of the cul de sac must be shifted so that
it will not conflict with the pedestrian ramp to the trail between Lots 11 and 12, Block 1.

NOISE WALL
The developer proposes to construct a noise wall within MnDOT right of way. MnDOT requires
that the City enter into a cooperative agreement in order to allow the wall within the right of
way. After completing a wetland delineation as required by MnDOT, the noise wall plans were
revised to reflect the wetland conditions and avoid impact. The revised noise wall plans have
been submitted to MnDOT for review. To date, the city has not received the revised plans.
MnDOT will not release the required noise wall agreement to the city for review and execution
until their review is complete and all comments have been implemented. The deadline for
MnDOT's review is July 22, 2014. At the time of writing this report, an update on MnDOT's
review status and decision was not available. Approval of the noise wall plans and agreement
with MnDOT will be on a future City Council agenda. This agreement must be executed before
the final plat is recorded.
The noise wall will be over the city's 12 -inch trunk water main that extends under Highway 212.
The water main within the MnDOT right of way is within a 24 -inch steel casing; therefore, there
would not be any impact to the wall should the water main ever need to be replaced.

A Surface Water Management Connection
Fee will be assessed to this project. This fee
is broken into water quality and water
quantity and is based upon net developable
acreage and a multiplier intended to reflect
the anticipated burden the land use will place
upon the storm sewer system relative to other
land uses. Credit is then given for storm
water management best management
practices at a rate of 50% the water quality
rate per acre treated. The table to the left
shows the calculations.
Buffer areas with proper demarcation,
protection and vegetative management are
deducted from the calculated area. Not only
is the protection and enhancement of open
space a necessary component of the PUD
process, it serves as a financial reward for
proper protection and management.
Before permits are issued for any lot adjacent to a wetland, the developer shall install wetland
buffer signs at each lot corner and major angle point as shown on sheet Ll Landscape Plan /
Planting Plan. A $750.00 security will be required at time of final plat to assure this is
completed.

channel has become incised and head
cuts are forming within the channel.
At the outfall downstream of the
driveway, a surge basin was installed
at some point in the past. The channel
has since worked around either side of
the surge basin as illustrated in the
photograph to the left. The other
channel is incised. The depth of this
incision will increase and will almost
certainly accelerate as the discharge
rate and, therefore, the scour force
within the channel increases. In both instances, these channels discharge to Rice Marsh Lake
and the resulting erosion will lead to increased sediment deposition into the lake. The shoreland
PUD standards requires that erosion control and storm water management facilities "be designed,
and their construction managed, to minimize the likelihood of serious erosion occurring either
during or after construction..." Efforts must be taken to reduce the rate of runoff or assure that
the channels are stabilized to prevent further degradation.
The total disturbed area is approximately 8.5 acres which exceeds the one -acre threshold. Given
the total disturbance it must be compliant with the National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System General Permit Authorization to Discharge Stormwater Associated with Construction
Activity ( NPDES Construction Permit). As part of this permit, the applicant is required to
develop a Surface Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) with three elements: a narrative,
plan sheets and standard detail plates. Each of these elements requires specific content.
Section 19 -145 of Chanhassen City Code requires that the construction is compliant with the
NPDES Construction Permit and the SWPPP is provided to the City for review and comment.
A draft Surface Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared and submitted.
This plan shall be edited and updated throughout all phases of development including home
construction. The primary contractor responsible for day -to -day operations of the site shall be
identified and the SWPPP updated to reflect this prior to any disturbance on the site. This
updated SWPPP shall be made available to the City at the pre - construction meeting.
The following changes need to be incorporated into the SWPPP before any site grading can
occur.

• The sheet labeled Appendix C -1: Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall show erosion
control blanket covering the disturbed areas adjacent to the road crossing the wetland and
above the 894' contour for the most southwesterly pond.
• All erosion control blanket except in the overland emergency overflow areas shall either
be netting -free or use jute netting or another biodegradable material approved by the City.
• Topsoil shall be stripped and stockpiled in a berm on the up- gradient side of the silt
fence. This shall be indicated on Appendix C -1: Erosion and Sediment Control Plan.
• Sheets L -1 and L -2 shall be added to the SWPPP after Appendix C -2 as these are part of
the Final Stabilization Plan for the site.
An escrow in the amount of $62,815 will be due with the final plat for erosion and sediment
control. This amount was calculated based upon the estimated SWPPP quantities provided by
the applicant. Clearing and grubbing and common excavation were deducted from this figure.
Select granular topsoil was added to this based upon 70% of the lot area to a depth of 6 inches.
WETLAND PROTECTION
Graham Environmental Services, Inc. (GES) performed an on -site wetland determination and
boundary delineation on April 28 and May 4, 2011. This was reviewed by city staff as the local
government unit (LGU) responsible for administration of the Wetland Conservation Act and
submitted to the technical evaluation panel for comment. Based upon review of the delineation,
the boundaries were approved excepting that Wetland C and Wetland D were determined to be
part of the same basin and Wetland B was expanded to the north. The current plan submittal
appears to accurately reflect these modified boundaries.
The plan set was provided by Probe Engineering Company, Inc. on behalf of J &S Ventures.
The plan shows the required buffer around wetlands A through D but does not show a buffer
around wetland E. All wetlands, including Wetland E, require the establishment of buffer areas
and setbacks per Section 20 -411 of Chanhassen City Code. Any wetland buffer areas that are
disturbed, do not meet the requirement for native vegetation as stated in §20 -411, or which
contains noxious weeds must have a detailed vegetation management plan and that plan must be
followed. These areas must be identified as buffer on the plan.
SHORELAND MANAGEMENT
This property lies within the Shoreland Management District and is subject to the Planned Unit
Development (PUD) requirements. The applicant must demonstrate that by granting the
flexibility that comes with a PUD, enhancements are made that would not be seen with a straight
single - family residential development plan.
A detailed management plan, with scheduled maintenance activities, has been prepared as
required with the preliminary plat approval conditions. This plan should be adequate to manage
these disturbed areas to provide the aesthetic, ecological and water quality benefits for which the
Mr. Todd Gerhardt
Preserve at Rice Lake — Planning Case 2013 -12
July 28, 2014
Page 15 of 21
open space is intended to provide. However, the Department of Natural Resources shall need to
make such a determination.
PARK DEDICATION
Comprehensive Park Plan
The city's comprehensive park plan calls for a neighborhood park to be located within one -half
mile of every residence in the city. The proposed Preserve at Rice Lake development would not
meet this guideline. The nearest park is Rice Marsh Lake Park which is located approximately
one mile away if utilizing the city's pedestrian trail network.
Comprehensive Trail Plan
The city's comprehensive trail plan calls for the future completion of the Rice Marsh Lake Trail
to be constructed around the perimeter of the lake. This proposed subdivision should provide for
and construct a trail connection to this future trail starting at the public street and extending to
the southeast corner of the property. This trail connection should be situated in a public outlot or
trail easement.
TREE PRESERVATION/LANDSCAPING
The applicant has provided a tree inventory and removal plan for the subdivision. Bufferyard
plantings are required for this development along Highway 212. Tree preservation calculations
for the development are shown below.
Total upland area (excluding wetlands) 413,111 SF or 9.48 acres
Total canopy area (excluding wetlands) 66,600 SF or 1.52 acres
Baseline canopy coverage 16%
Minimum canopy coverage allowed 25% or 103,277 SF
Proposed tree preservation 4% or 16,820 SF
The developer does not meet minimum canopy coverage allowed. Additional plantings will be
required to bring the baseline canopy coverage up to the minimum required.
Required plantings 87 trees
(66600 - 16820)x1.2 54 trees required
(103277- 66600) 33 trees required
The applicant has proposed a total of 48 new trees and 50 transplanted evergreens in the
landscape plan.
The applicant is required to provide bufferyards along Highway 212. The minimum plantings
required and the applicant's proposed quantities are shown in the table below.

16. The applicant must apply for and receive an NPDES permit from the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency and provide evidence to the city prior to grading the site.
17. The following changes need to be incorporated into the SWPPP before any site grading can
occur:
a. The sheet labeled Appendix C -1: Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall show erosion
control blanket covering the disturbed areas adjacent to the road crossing the wetland and
above the 894' contour for the most southwesterly pond.
b. All erosion control blanket except in the overland emergency overflow areas shall either
be netting free or use jute netting or another biodegradable material approved by the City.

the Final Stabilization Plan for the site.
Water Resources Coordinator Conditions
1. An escrow in the amount of $62,815 will be due with the final plat for erosion and sediment
control.
2. There is significant evidence of gully erosion at both off -site discharge locations. Rates must
be reduced below existing discharge rates or efforts must be taken to stabilize these discharge
points to prevent further channel incision and head cutting.
3. Wetland buffers are required around all wetlands on site. Extend buffer around wetland E.
4. Before permits are issued for any lot adjacent to a wetland, the developer shall install wetland
buffer signs as shown on sheet Ll Landscape Plan / Planting Plan. A $750.00 security will
