Final Plat Approval for Lake Harrison
Planning Case No. 05-14
PROPOSALS~ARY
The applicant is requesting final plat approval for Lake Harrison creating 39 lots
(one lot, Lot 1, Block 4, is for the west water treatment plant), 6 outlots and right-
of-way for public streets with a 5-foot front yard setback variance for Block 2 and
subdivision variances for street grade and the use of a private street. The proposal
includes approximately 62 acres. The development complies with the Single-
Family Residential (RSF) District regulations. Staff is recommending approval of
the final plat for Lake Harrison.
BACKGROUND
On May 9,2005, the Chanhassen City Council approved the following:
Rezoning of the property from RR, Rural Residential, to RSF, Single Family
Residential District;
Preliminary plat (Subdivision) to create 40 lots, 4 outlots and public right-of-way
with a variance for a private street and street grade, subject to conditions;
A 5-foot front yard Variance for Block 2;
A Wetland Alteration Permit to fill and alter wetlands on site;
And,
Denied the bluff setback variance.
FINAL PLAT REVIEW
PROPOSAL S~RY
The applicant is requesting final plat approval for 39 lots, 6 outlots and right-of-
way for public streets. As part of the preliminary plat review, the City approved
subdivision variances for street grade in excess of 7 percent and the use of a
private street for access to Lots 11 and 12, Block 1 and a zoning variance for a

25-foot front yard setback for Block 2. Of the 39 Lots being platted, Lot 1, Block 4 is proposed to
be purchased for the west water treatment plant.
The proposal meets the requirements of the zoning ordinance. The applicant is proposing the
installation of an entry monument sign on Outlot A, which is being donated to the City. The
applicant should establish a sign easement for the installation of this sign.
GRADINGIDRAINAGEIEROSION CONTROL
The existing site is about 62 acres in size and contains 8 existing wetlands. The site also contains
groves of significant trees, along with an existing home site which will remain. Site elevations
range from a high of 1084 in the southwest to a low of 970 in the southeast.
The applicant is proposing to grade about 50% of the site for 37 new house pads, 3 public streets,
a private street, and 3 stormwater ponds. With the vast amount of vertical site relief previously
mentioned, the property is a challenging one to grade. The garage elevations of Lots 4, 5 and 6
need to be at least 1.5 feet higher than the emergency overflow for the street. Next, there are a
few locations where the proposed street grades are slightly higher (approximately 8%) than the
maximum street grade allowed of 7%. The grading for Lots 11 and 12, Block 1 needs to be
revised. The proposal includes a private street to access Lots 11 and 12 with retaining walls
along the west side.
The existing site drains to three main wetlands within the southwest, central, and northeast
portions of the site. The proposed grading plan has been designed to match the existing drainage
patterns fairly well. The western half of the developed site drains to a proposed pond in the
northwest comer of the site. The remainder of the eastern portion of the site will drain to a pond
in the northeast comer of the site. Each of the ponds will treat the water before discharging it to
adjacent wetlands. All of the ponds are required to be designed to National Urban Runoff
Program (NURP) standards with maximum 3: 1 slopes and a 10: 1 bench at the NWL.
Drainage calculations for the site have been submitted and some changes are needed. The
applicant is required to meet the existing site runoff rates for lO-year and 100-year, 24-hour
storm events. Storm sewer sizing calculations must be submitted at the time of final plat
application. The storm sewer must be sized for a lO-year, 24-hour storm event. Drainage and
utility easements must be dedicated on the final plat over the public storm drainage system
including ponds, drainage swales, and wetlands up to the 100-year flood level.
Erosion control measures and site restoration must be developed in accordance with the City's
Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Staff recommends that the City's Type II
erosion control fence, which is a heavy-duty silt fence, be used for the area adjacent to the
existing wetlands. Type I silt fence shall be used in all other areas. In addition, tree preservation
fencing must be installed at the limits of tree removal. Erosion control blankets are
recommended for all of the steep 3: 1 slopes with an elevation change of eight feet or more. All
disturbed areas, as a result of construction, must be seeded and mulched or sodded immediately
after grading to minimize erosion. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading will
require an easement from the appropriate property owner. If importing or exporting material for

development of the site is necessary, the applicant will be required to supply the City with
detailed haul routes. The applicant should also be aware that any retaining wall over four feet in
height must be designed by a Structural Engineer registered in the State of Minnesota. Also, it
will require a building permit from the Building Department.
UTILITIES
Currently, public sanitary sewer and watermain are available to the parcel. The plans propose on
connecting to the Met Council Interceptor sewer line that runs through the parcel and extending it
to serve the site. Also, the applicant is proposing to connect to the watermain in Lake Lucy
Road, loop it through the site, and connect with the existing mains in Manchester Drive and
Highover Trail. A minimum 20-foot wide easement will be required over the public utility lines
that are outside of the right-of-way. Installation of the private service utilities for the site will
require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department.
The City is currently in discussions with the developer on the possible purchase of a portion of
Lot 1, Block 4, in the northeast portion of the site for a future water treatment plant. This second
water treatment plant would treat the water from the City's western wells which can't be treated
by the eastern treatment plant that is currently being designed. The land acquisition for the
second water treatment plant was scheduled for 2005 in the City's current Five- Year Capital
Improvement Program (CIP).
With the development of this parcel, plans show a raw water transmission main is being
extended through the site for future connection to the City's second water treatment plant. This
watermain would run along the western property line, going north to the Well No.7 property just
east of Outlot F. The transmission main would then stay in the right-of-way and run east to the
treatment plant site. No service connections would come off of this transmission main since the
raw water in the pipe will be untreated/unchlorinated prior to connecting to the treatment plant.
Because this is a system-wide improvement, the construction cost for the raw watermain will be
paid by the City from the water portion of the Utility Fund. The developer will be required to
provide public drainage and utility easements over the transmission main and to install the pipe
as a part of the utility construction.
According to the City's Finance Department records, the parcel was previously assessed for one
sanitary sewer and watermain unit and those assessments have been paid. Since the applicant is
now proposing more units (8) than what the property has been assessed for, the additional 37
units (38-1=37) will be charged a sanitary sewer and watermain lateral connection charge.
Connection fees are in lieu of assessments which are absorbed by the City instead of being levied
at the time of construction. The 2005 lateral connection charge for sanitary sewer or water is
$5,118 per unit. Based on the current rate, the total amount due payable to the City for the
additional 38 units would be $189,366(37 @ $5,118) for sanitary and $189,366 for water. The
combined total for both sanitary and water would then be $378,732. These charges are due at the
time of final plat recording. In addition, each newly created lot will be subject to City sanitary
sewer and water hookup charges at the time of building permit issuance. The 2005 trunk hookup
charge is $1,458 for sanitary sewer and $2,955 for watermain. Sanitary sewer and watermain
Final Plat - Lake Harrison
Planning Case 05-14
July 11, 2005
Page 4
hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance.
All of these charges are based on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met Council.
All of the utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest
edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. The applicant is also required to enter into a
development contract with the City and 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. The applicant must be aware that all public utility improvements will require
a preconstruction meeting before building permit issuance. Permits from the appropriate
regulatory agencies will be required, including the MPCA, Dept. of Health, Met Council, Carver
County, and Watershed District.
STREETS
Overall, the proposed street layout appears to work well. The plans show a main street accessing
off Lake Lucy Road from the north and ending in a cul-de-sac in the south-central portion of the
site. Another public street is proposed to tee off the main street and connect at Galpin
Boulevard. Both Galpin Boulevard and Lake Lucy Road are classified as collector streets within
the City Code and Comprehensive Plan. As such, staff expects each of the roads to adequately
handle the traffic from the development. Also, the plans show the public street extension of
Highover Trail from the west to the north and a proposed private drive to the south off of
Highover Trail. The applicant must be aware that any private streets must be built to 7-ton design
and enclosed within a 30-foot private easement. The developer will have to provide inspection
or soil reports certifying that the street was built to the 7-ton requirement. Sidewalks are
proposed on at least one side of all of the public streets. As with past developments that access
off of Galpin Boulevard, a right-turn lane into the site will be required to be constructed. The
turn lane must meet Carver County design requirements.
PARKS AND RECREATION
Comprehensive Park Plan
The proposed Lake Harrison development is located within an area that is outside the municipal
park service boundaries of Pheasant Hill Park, Herman Field Park and Sugarbush Park. The
Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the proposed development on April 26, 2005 to
make a recommendation regarding including a public park in the development. The Commission
voted to recommend the creation of a park within the development.
The property owner will be donating to the City large areas of open space, which will include
areas that may be used for park facilities as a charitable contribution. The development shall pay
full park fees in force at the time of final plat approval for the 37 new residential lots in the
amount of $148,000. Parks fees for 2005 are $4,000.00 for each new single-family lot.

Comprehensive Trail Plan
The site does not contain any portion of the City's trail plan. A sidewalk or trail connection to
the trails in Galpin Boulevard and Lake Lucy Road is proposed as part of the development.
LANDSCAPING
The developer has provided a landscape plan that exceeds the minimum standards of the City.
WETLANDS
Existing Wetlands
Twelve wetlands were identified and delineated by Westwood Professional Services in May
2005. On May 17,2005, City staff met the delineator on-site to examine the wetland boundaries.
All boundaries were found to be consistent with the delineation criteria set forth in the Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (1987).
Wetland impacts are generally the result of three site constraints: 1. The need for access to the
site; 2. The need to match existing elevations in front of the existing home; and 3. The 7%
maximum street grades for Lake Harrison Circle and Lake Harrison Road. In addition, the
development of the site will impact the hydrology to Wetlands D and J. These wetlands do not
receive concentrated flow from adjacent waterways, but instead rely on surface flows for
hydrology. With the placement of Lake Harrison Circle directly upstream of these wetlands, the
wetlands will be indirectly impacted by interruptions to hydrology. A voidance of indirect
impacts to Wetlands D and J is not feasible or prudent.
Wetland impacts have been minimized by: 1. Placing the crossing of Lake Harrison Road across
the narrowest portion of the drainageway between Wetlands A and C; 2. Eliminating the
connection between Highover Trail and Lake Harrison Circle. Wetland impacts have been
reduced from 1.18 acres in the original proposal to 1.00 acres in the current proposal.
All outlot boundaries should be revised to incorporate wetland buffers where applicable.
Wetland Replacement
Total wetland impacts for the proposed project total 43,548 square feet (1.00 acres). Total
proposed New Wetland Credit (NWC) of 64,950 square feet (1.49 acres) is proposed. Total
proposed Public Value Credit (PVC) is 23,388 square feet (0.54 acres). All wetland replacement
is proposed on-site adjacent to existing wetlands. Current proposed plans exceed the minimum
replacement requirements of replacing impacted wetlands at a 2: 1 ratio.
Wetland replacement must occur in a manner consistent with the Minnesota Wetland
Conservation Act (MR 8420). The plans should show fixed photo monitoring points for the
replacement wetlands. Wetland replacement monitoring plans should be submitted annually
beginning one growing season after the wetland is created until the wetland replacement is

accepted in writing by the City. The vegetation management plan should be enhanced to provide
a detailed outline for the treatment of reed canary grass and purple loosestrife. The vegetation
management plan and wetland mitigation plan sheets should specify that newly created wetland
mitigation areas should be seeded in a swath that extends at least l' above and l' below the
normal water level of the mitigation areas.
The applicant should provide proof of recording a Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for
Replacement Wetland. The applicant should submit a letter of credit in the amount of $136,400
to guarantee the design goal for the wetland replacement site, as approved in the replacement
plan, is fully achieved. The letter of credit should be written to remain in effect for 5 years.
A wetland buffer minimum of 20 feet must be maintained around Wetlands A, B, C and F and
any adjacent wetland mitigation areas. A minimum wetland buffer of 16.5 feet must be
maintained around Wetland G and any adjacent mitigation areas. Buffers to be considered for
PVC must be a minimum of 16.5 feet. Building setbacks of 40 feet from the wetland buffer
strips must be maintained for all proposed building pads. Lot 3, Block 3 should be revised to
meet building setback requirements

29. If importing or exporting material for development of the site is necessary, the applicant will be
required to supply the City with detailed haul routes and traffic control plans. The applicant
should be aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property
owner.
30. All of the ponds are required to be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP)
standards with maximum 3:1 slopes and a 10:1 bench at the NWL. Pond number 3 must be
adequately sized to accommodate the drainage from Lot 1, Block 4, and the proposed park area.
31. Any retaining wall over 4 feet in height must be designed by a Structural Engineer registered in
the State of Minnesota with an approved fence. Also, it will require a building permit from the
Building Department.
32. Prior to final platting, storm sewer design data and full size map will need to be submitted for
staff review. Depending on the size of the drainage area, additional catch basins may be
required at that time. The storm sewer will have to be designed for a to-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 ponds, drainage swales, emergency overflows, access routes
for maintenance, and wetlands up to the loo-year flood level. The minimum easement width
shall be 20 feet wide. Emergency overflows from all stormwater ponds will also be required on
the construction plans.
33. Erosion control measures and site restoration must be developed in accordance with the City's
Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Staff recommends that the City's Type II
erosion control fence, which is a heavy-duty silt fence, be used for the area adjacent to the
existing wetlands. Type I silt fence shall be used in all other areas. In addition, tree
preservation fencing must be installed at the limits of tree removal. Erosion control blankets are
recommended for all of the steep 3: 1 slopes with an elevation change of eight feet or more. All
disturbed areas, as a result of construction, must be seeded and mulched or sodded immediately
after grading to minimize erosion.
34. All of the utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's
latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. The applicant is also required to
enter into a development contract with the City and 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. The applicant must be aware that all public utility
improvements will require a preconstruction meeting before building permit issuance.
35. The sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will be applicable for each of the new lots. The
2005 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 for sanitary sewer and $2,955 for watermain. Sanitary
sewer and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of
building permit issuance. All of these charges are based on the number of SAC units assigned
by the Met Council and are due at the time of building permit issuance.

36. The applicant shall include a drain tile system behind the curbs to convey sump pump discharge
from homes not adjacent to ponds. Remove the proposed curb along the north side of the right
turn land on Galpin Boulevard.
37. Maximum 3: 1 side slopes are allowed without the use of a retaining wall, revise the plan
accordingly.
38. Minimum 40-foot wide public drainage and utility easements will be required between Lots 4
and 5, Block 1, and along the west side of Lots 10 and 11, Block 1.
39. On the grading plan:
a. Show 12 foot spacing between any two parallel retaining walls over 4-foot in height.
b. Add a note to remove all existing approaches.
c. Show the EOF for the easterly cul-de-sac and the garage elevations of all Lots adjacent to it
need to be at least 1.5 feet higher than the emergency overflow for the street.
40. On the utility plan:
a. Relocate the proposed 12 inch pvc raw water main away from the retaining wall by at least
10 feet along the private street.
b. Show all existing utilities, pipe type and manhole rim/inverts within Lake Lucy Road,
Galpin Boulevard, Highover Trail and Manchester Drive.
c. Show the existing sanitary sewer in the center of the existing easement.
d. Add note: any connection to existing structure must be core drilled.
e. Water service must be I-inch copper type K.
f. The watermain must be looped through to Manchester Drive versus Galpin Boulevard.
41. Staff is recommending that a raw water transmission main be extended through the site for
future connection to the City's second water treatment plant. The construction cost for the raw
watermain will be paid by the City from the water portion of the Utility Fund. The developer
will be required to provide public drainage and utility easements over the transmission main
and to install the pipe as a part of the utility construction.
42. Since the applicant is now proposing more units (38) than what the property has been assessed
for, the additional 37 units (38-1=37) will be charged a sanitary sewer and watermain lateral
connection charge. These charges are due at the time of final plat recording.
43. As with past developments that access off of Galpin Boulevard, a right-turn lane into the site
will be required to be constructed. The turn lane must meet Carver County design
requirements.
44. A lO-foot clear space must be maintained around fire hydrants, i.e. street lamps, trees, shrubs,
bushes, Xcel Energy, Qwest, Cable TV and transformer boxes. This is to ensure that hydrants

can be quickly located and safely operated by firefighters. Pursuant to Chanhassen City
Ordinance #9-1.
45. Two additional fire hydrants are required.
46. Fire apparatus access roads and water supply for fire protection is required to be installed. Such
protection shall be installed and made serviceable prior to and during the time of construction
except when approved alternate methods of protection are provided.
47. Temporary street signs shall be installed on each street intersection when construction of the
new roadway allows passage by vehicles. Pursuant to 2002 Minnesota Fire Code Section
501.4.
48. No burning permits will be issued for trees to be removed. Trees and shrubs must either be
removed from site or chipped.
49. The private street driveway shall be as shown on the Lot 11 & 12 detail plan dated 5/09/05.
50. On the storm sewer and street plans show all the roads turning radius.
51. Show the sanitary sewer minimum 20-foot easement on Lot 1, Block 2.
52. Show minimum 20-foot easement for the water-main of Lake Harrison Road looping to the
north with the existing Manchester Drive water-main.
53. Show the right existing sanitary easement on Lot 3, Block 3, and revise the standard easement
accordingly.
54. All outlot boundaries shall be revised to incorporate wetland buffers where applicable.
55. The applicant shall submit a letter of credit in the amount of $136,400 to guarantee the design goal for
the wetland replacement site, as approved in the replacement plan, is fully achieved. The letter of credit
shall be written to remain in effect for 5 years."
