BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 5531117 (612) 937-1900 • FAX (612) 937-5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Sharmin Al-Jaff, Planner II Bob Generous, Senior Planner DATE: July 16, 1997 , SUBJ: Comprehensive Plan Housing Element BACKGROUND The Housing Element is the second element of the comprehensive plan that will be examined. Revisions to comprehensive plan are required by the Livable Communities Act of 1995. Attached is a copy of the narrative from the 1991 comprehensive plan of the housing section. Much of this information will be updated with 1990 Census data as well as historical building permit data and revised housing projections. The most significant influence on the housing element is the State Legislature's passage of the Livable Communities Act which is being implemented through the Metropolitan Council. In November 1995, the City adopted a resolution agreeing to participate in the Livable Communities Act and in December 1995 adopted housing goals. In June 1996, the city adopted an action plan for the implementation of the goals. The second most significant development affecting the housing element is the city's adoption of the Highway 5 Corridor Study and the Bluff Creek Watershed Natural Resources Management Plan which completed the guiding of land uses within the community and provided development guidelines for development within these corridors. ANALYSIS i Since 1990, the city has seen a greater diversification in the housing unit types being built in the community. This change is due to demographic and economic changes taking place nationally as well as locally. Of the 1,947 dwelling units built in Chanhassen since 1990, 425 units have been either townhouses or apartments. While single family detached housing still remains the predominant housing type in Chanhassen, the city will continue to see increases in non- Planning Commission July 9, 1997 Page 2 traditional housing types. In addition, the city has undergone a transformation in non-residential development taking place in the community. The downtown area is almost completely built out. Industrial development is filling in the vacant lands in the eastern and central portions of the city and is beginning to move out to the west. With this increased non-residential activity, there will be even greater demands for housing development within the community. In the past couple of years, the city has seen and approved examples of non-traditional, at least in Chanhassen, developments. Autumn Ridge, at the southwest corner of Highway 5 and Galpin Boulevard, incorporated the use of density transfer to protect an area of upland surrounded by wetlands. The North Bay development, located on the north end of Lake Riley, introduced zero lot line homes to Chanhassen. Within the Village on the Ponds project, located south of Highway 5 at Market Boulevard, the developer will be incorporating housing units above office and retail space. As part of the Walnut Grove development, located at the northeast corner of Highway 5 and Galpin Boulevard, the developer is incorporating a mix of housing densities within an individual project, including traditional single family detached housing, bungalow homes, and townhouses while at the same time preserving a valuable creek corridor and creating common open space. While many of the goals and policies are still appropriate for the 2020 comprehensive plan, the city must evaluate its experiences and expectations and modify and create additional goals and objectives to move the community forward. The comprehensive plan is a dynamic document that must be responsive to the needs of the community. RECOMMENDATION Please review the attached information and be prepared to provide staff input and direction in preparing revisions to the goals and policies. In addition,please advise staff of any information needed for updating the plan. HOUSING GOAL To provide housing opportunities for all residents, consistent with the identified community development goal. This goal should remain the same. POLICIES Existing housing within the city should be maintained and improved and revitalization of older developed areas should be encouraged. This goal should remain the same. As state and federal funding permits, efforts should be made to provide low and moderate housing where needed, to provide balance to the generally high cost of new housing. New construction programs may provide a source of such housing. This goal should remain the same. To meet this goal. the City has committed to utilize Community Development Block Grant, which is a federal fund, to assist individuals who qualify under the First Time Home Buyer Program. The assistance will be with the down payment. The grant is approximately$50,000. The City is working with local banks to get criteria established for qualifying individuals. Plans and ordinances for the City of Chanhassen should ensure that adequate amounts of land are designated to accommodate projected residential growth. This goal should remain the same. The city should promote the use of state and federal programs designed to reduce land costs for developers of low and moderate income housing. This goal should remain the same. The City of Chanhassen will cooperate with other governmental units and public agencies to streamline, simplify, and coordinate the reviews required for residential development to avoid inflating the cost of housing due to unnecessary delays in the review process. This goal should remain the same. The city has demonstrated on several occasions its cooperation with other governmental agencies. Processing fees are always waived and the review process made simple. The city completed a project in conjunction with Carver County Housing and Redevelopment Authority. The outcome was Centennial Hill Senior Housing. Subsidized housing should be given equal site and planning considerations to non-subsidized housing units and should not be placed in inferior locations or in areas that are not provided with necessary urban services. This goal should remain the same. The city recently approved North Bay development. A housing district was created and tax increment finance dollars were used to help with the cost of the development. The site was treated equal to other developments in the city. If demand becomes apparent, the city will promote the construction of senior citizen housing in locations convenient to shopping and medical services. This goal should remain the same. The city worked with Carver County Housing and Redevelopment Authority to build Centennial Hill Senior Housing. The building is a market rate moderate income building for the elderly. The location is within two blocks of downtown. At a recent work session between the City Council and the Senior Commission, the search for a new site for a second building was discussed. The current building is 100% occupied and is for independent living. The second site could potentially be an assisted living development. The development of alternative types of housing such as patio homes, townhouses, and quadplexes should be permitted to supplement conventional single-family homes and apartments providing that they are compatible with appropriate land use practices and are representative of high quality development. This goal should remain the same. The City has approved a number of developments that meet this criteria. A number of future sites are available for such developments. New residential development should be discouraged from encroaching upon vital natural resources or physical features that perform essential protection functions in their natural state. This goal should remain the same. This is an on going goal. The City of Chanhassen is considered to be one of the leading communities in protecting its natural resources. There has been valuable studies conducted and implemented to protect or improve existing situations-- Surface Water Management Plan, Bluff Creek Study, Woodland protection, etc. The ordinances are constantly being revised to minimize impacts on these features, such as the Wetland, Shoreland. Bluff, Tree Preservation, etc. Housing development methods such as PUD's, cluster development, and innovative site plans and building types should be encouraged to help conserve energy and resources used for housing. This goal should remain the same. The city is actively involved in these types of developments. Villages on the Pond is an excellent example of such developments. The housing units are within walking distances, which will reduce the need for a vehicle. The space above the retail buildings is designated for housing. This will help in sharing the cost of public improvements which often increases the cost of developments. Property and code enforcement policies which encouraged the maintenance and rehabilitation of both owner occupied and rental housing should be encouraged. This goal should remain the same. The City should continue to ensure nondiscrimination in the sale and rental of housing units. This goal should remain the same. Citizen participation in developing plans and implementing housing programs is encouraged in redevelopment, rehabilitation, and in the planning for future housing. This goal should remain the same. This opportunity is always available through the public hearing process. In some cases, the involvement is more. The seniors were heavily involved in the design of Centennial Hill Senior Housing. CITY OF \ CHANHASSEN1 . 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O. BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 • FAX (612) 937-5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Kate Aanenson, AICP Planning Director DATE: January 30, 1997 SUBJ: Housing Goals Update Attached is the Livable Communities Act, Goals and Action Plan. What I will be sharing with the Planning Commission at their work session is the current building trends, and locations of existing and proposed housing that will meet the city's goals. BACKGROUND In November 1995, the City of Chanhassen agreed to participate in the Livable Communities Act and in December 1995 adopted housing goals. In June 1996, the City adopted an action plan for the implementation of the housing goals. The three areas the city has to address in meeting requirements of the Livable Communities Act are Life-cycle, Density and Affordable. • Life-cycle housing is made up of two components. The number of non-traditional housing or percentage of housing that is not single family detached. The other component is the ratio of owner occupied units to renter units. • Density compares the number of units to the acres of development. This ratio is applied to low density and multifamily. • Affordable is that percentage of new housing units that will be affordable. For 1997, the Met Council considers those owner occupied units under$120,000 affordable. Rental affordability is the percentage of rental units with rents under$683. Livable Communities Act Page 2 DENSITY GOALS Between 1993 and 1997, the city has been averaging 1.97 net units an acre on the single-family (low density) and 6.47 units per acres on the multi-family(medium and high density). In Chanhassen, low density includes twin homes. This highlights an issue the Planning Commission has been raising for a long time—if the city allows development to occur below the designated density, then where will this lost density be replaced. The benchmark the city should be trying to achieve in single family detached developments is 1.8-1.9 units/acre. The city's goal is 1.8 units an acre net density. In the multifamily district, the benchmark is 10-14 units/acre. The city index is 11 units/acre. The city's goal is 9-10 units per acre. As indicated earlier, this number has moved farther from the benchmark because of the number of projects approved at the medium density range. The only way to achieve the density benchmark in the multifamily land use would be to build developments at the maximum density permitted. In cases where the development is appropriate, give density bonuses as permitted in the PUD ordinance. The city currently has limited high density development. The majority of projects are being developed at 6 units an acres, therefore, a significant number of developments will have to be built in excess of 14 units an acre to increase the multi-family units per acre density to achieve the benchmark. Table 1 Housing Goals Agreement Single-Family Detached 1.5/acre 1.8-1.9/acre 1.8/acre net Multifamily 11/acre 10-14/acre 9-10 LIFE CYCLE GOALS The method for determining life-cycle housing is to look at the future number of households the Met Council has predicated for the city in the next 15 years and establish what percentage of owner to renter the city will try to achieve. The type of non-single family includes apartments, townhouses, 3 and 4 plexes, etc. Assuming the Met Council prediction of 5,784 new households, the city's goal is an 80%owner to 20%rental mix which would mean that 4,627 units should be owner occupied and 1,157 should be rental units. In the 1990 comprehensive plan, the approved housing goal was for 34% of the housing units to be non-single family detached. With the types of owner occupied and Livable Communities Act Page 3 rental there is a large variety of housing options. The proposed Met Council benchmark is 67 / 75 and 25 / 33 ratio of owner to renter. The city index according to the Met Council is 85 / 15. The Heritage Park Apartments, with 60 units, was built in 1989-90 and in 1995-96, Centennial Hill (Senior Project), with 65 units was built. Even at 1,157 units over the next 15 years it would mean 70 units a year. The important number to keep in mind is for every eight units of owner occupied, the city should be developing two units of rental. Table 2 Housing Goals Agreement . : Life-Cycle Goad_ r. Type(Non-Single Family 19% 35-37% 34%* 1991 Comp Detached) Plan Owner/renter Mix 85/15% (67-75)/(25-33)% 80/20 AFFORDABLE The definition of affordable owner occupied units are those units under$120,000 in homestead valuation. Affordable rental units are those units with rents under$683 a month for two or more bedrooms. To determine the number of affordable ownership, the first step is to determine the number of owner occupied units. As stated previously with an 80/20 ratio of owner occupied units to rental units, the number of owner occupied households over the next 15 years could be 4,627. The number of rental could be 1,157. The benchmark the Met Council is recommending is 60-69%ownership affordable and 35-37%rental affordable. The city in 1995 was at 37% affordable rental, according to the Met Council. According to 1996 data, 24% of Chanhassen homesteaded homes are affordable. The city's goal is 50%of ownership housing being affordable. That means that 50% of all new homes constructed in the next 15 years should be under the $120,000 in valuation.

A component of the Comprehensive Plan is the Housing Element. The Goals and Policies that were adopted in 1991 are still relevant to today's housing strategies. Goal To provide housing opportunities for all residents, consistent with the identified community development goal. Policies Existing housing within the city should be maintained and improved and revitalization of older developed areas should be encouraged. The City of Chanhassen will attempt to provide adequate land for projected housing growth and to provide opportunities for persons of a range of incomes. Livable Communities Act Page 5 As appropriate state and federal funding permits, efforts should be made to provide low and moderate housing where needed, to provide balance to the generally higher cost of housing. New construction programs may provide a source of such housing. Plans and ordinances for the City of Chanhassen should ensure that adequate amounts of land are designated to accommodate projected desired residential growth. The city should promote the use of state and federal programs designed to reduce land costs for developers of low and moderate income housing. The City of Chanhassen will cooperate with other governmental units and public agencies to streamline, simplify and coordinate the reviews required for residential development to avoid inflating the cost of housing due to unnecessary delays in the review process.

In addition to this executive summary and the introduction in the next tab, the six major sections that follow provide the following information: ► Demographic data on each of the 12 cities and Carver County. Demographic information is provided on population, households, employment and income. (Tab 3) ► A thorough inventory of the existing housing stock in each City including analysis of owner occupied and rented housing. (Tab 4) ► A findings and recommendations section that reports key housing issues and findings for the County and each City. (Tab 5) ► A rental housing development section that summarizes the total number and type of rental units recommended in this study. (Tab 6) ► A summary of programs and resources available at the local, state and federal level to address housing needs. (Tab 7) ► A summary of HRA powers and duties under Minnesota Law. (Tab 8) Significant Findings Carver County is the smallest and most rural of the seven counties in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metropolitan Area. While the County may have the smallest population of the seven Metro counties, Carver County has been experiencing tremendous growth in recent decades. According to recently released estimates from the Metropolitan Council, Carver County's population has grown by 19 percent from 1990 to 1995, third fastest of the seven counties and well above the 7 percent growth rate for the entire Metro Area. Employment growth in the area has also been significant. Data on commercial-industrial building permit activity from 1988 to 1993 show that Chanhassen and Chaska both ranked among the top 15 Metro Area cities. Metropolitan Council projections to the year 2020 indicate that, under the current trends, the southwest quadrant of the Twin Cities Area, which includes all of Carver County, will lead the Metro Area in total employment. Data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that Carver County led all Metro Counties for percentage change in employment from 1991 to 1994. All available indicators and projections point to continued growth in Carver County for the foreseeable future, resulting in continued strong demand for both owned and rented housing options in a variety of price ranges. Executive Summary 1-1 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Our analysis indicates that the cities in Carver County have a good quality existing housing stock that is generally affordable and well maintained. Carver County's location on the edge of the developing Metro Area has had an impact on housing quality and price. In broad terms, much of the existing housing stock in Carver County has traditionally been lower priced than comparable homes in the more developed suburban ring, creating affordable options for home ownership. While housing prices have been lower than other parts of the Metro Area, housing in Carver County has still benefitted from the strong real estate market in the Twin Cities, which results in solid home values and expected value increases from year to year. Home owners have an incentive to invest in the maintenance and improvement of their housing, knowing that the house will continue to increase in value. In 1995, the Legislature adopted and the Metropolitan Council implemented the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act. The Act is intended to provide a full range of housing opportunities throughout the Metro Area and to preserve and rehabilitate affordable housing options. As part of the Act, participating communities adopt housing goals and establish action plans for housing activities. Carver County generally fared well in the affordable benchmarks established under the Act, with only Chanhassen and Victoria falling below the benchmarks for affordable owned housing. All of the cities in the County were at or above the benchmark for affordable rental options. While Carver County has a great asset in its existing affordable housing stock, efforts will be needed to make sure that affordable options continue to exist in the future. Much of the recent single family construction activity has been at prices above the levels defined as affordable. Negotiated goals for rental development anticipate that much of the rental housing developed in the future will also be at levels above the affordable threshold. The Carver County HRA has been active in promoting the rehabilitation of existing housing, and the development of new affordable owner and renter housing options. With the population, household and job growth that is projected for the next five years, the HRA's role as a housing resource provider will need to be continued. Maintenance and improvement of the existing housing stock, both owned and rented, will continue to provide good quality units at the lower end of the price range. The HRA's involvement in new owned housing construction will assist in proving affordable ownership options. The HRA's active participation in owning and developing rental housing will help to address the income sensitive segment of the rental market that cannot easily be met by private developers. This study has concluded that between 428 and 521 new rental housing units will be needed within the next few years to meet the demands of anticipated household growth. These units will serve a number of rental sub-markets including general occupancy, senior occupancy and subsidized housing needs. The specific unit recommendations are included in Sections 5 and 6 of this report. 1-2 Executive Summary Carver County Housing Study December 1996 INTRODUCTION Goal Statement Local elected and public officials are often held responsible for conditions and circumstances over which they have limited control. This is particularly true of housing. Most of the housing units in Carver County are privately owned and were constructed with private funds. On an increasing scale, however, the public is demanding that public officials control what happens in this largely private housing market - by eliminating blight, protecting individual investments, and generating new housing growth to meet economic development needs, life-cycle housing needs, and housing affordability goals. Community Partners Research, Inc., was hired by the Carver County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) to conduct a study of the housing needs and conditions for the cities in the County. The multiple goals of the study include: ► Provide an comprehensive analysis of the existing housing situation in the County ► Provide a resource document for the HRA, the cities and other policy making boards ► Examine the market potential for new rental housing construction ► Anticipate future housing needs caused by growth in Carver County ► Examine opportunities for HRA programs and activities in each of the cities • Provide an update to previous housing studies Methodology This report was prepared in accordance with the proposal for the Carver County Housing Study dated November 22, 1995. Community Partners Research, Inc., collected and analyzed data from February 1996 to December 1996. Data sources included: - 1980 and 1990 Census -Updates and projections from the Metropolitan Council - Claritas, Inc., a national data reporting service - Records and data maintained by the cities and/or County -Interviews with elected officials and staff from each city - Interviews with elected officials and staff from the County - Interviews with community leaders - State and Federal housing agencies Introduction 2-1 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Limitations This report represents an analysis performed with the data available at the time of the study. Some of the report findings and recommendations are based upon current situations and the best available information on future trends and projections. Significant changes in the area's economy, employment growth or other related factors could change the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report. This report has provided an analysis of the need for additional rental housing to be developed in Carver County. This report is limited to an analysis of the market need for such housing and has not examined other factors that could affect the ultimate success of such development, including specific site selection, physical design and attractiveness, amenities, marketing and management and other factors that are beyond the control of Community Partners Research, Inc. 2-2 Introduction Carver County Housing Study December 1996 DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS This section reviews pertinent demographic data for Carver County and each of the cities in the County. Demographic analysis is divided into four subsections, Population, Households, Employment and Income. Population Current Population Estimates The Metropolitan Council's 1995 population estimate for Carver County is 57,010 (Table 3-1). The 1995 population is up nearly 19 percent since the 1990 Census. From 1970 to 1980, Carver County experienced a population growth rate of over 29 percent. Carver County's population growth rate from 1980 to 1990 was the fourth highest of Minnesota's 87 counties, trailing only Dakota, Sherburne and Scott counties. Many of the cities in the County have also witnessed explosive growth in recent years. From 1980 to 1990, Chanhassen, Chaska, Victoria, Waconia and Watertown all had population growth rates of 30 percent or more. From 1990 to 1995, Chanhassen, Chaska and Victoria have all grown at rate above 20 percent based on Metropolitan Council estimates. A separate population estimate for Carver County has been prepared by the U. S. Census Bureau. According to Census estimates, the County's 1995 population was 59,220, for a percentage growth rate of nearly 24 percent since 1990. Based on Census Bureau estimates, from 1990 to 1995, Carver County was the second fastest growing County in Minnesota trailing only Sherburne County for percentage growth rate. A third estimate of current population has been obtained from Claritas, Inc., a national demographic reporting service. Using 1990 Census data as a base, Claritas updates its demographic database annually from 1,600 public and private data sources. According to Claritas' estimates, Carver County's 1995 population was 58,099, for a growth rate of over 21 percent since 1990. Claritas also estimates that Carver, Chanhassen, Chaska and Victoria have all grown at a rate of 20 percent or more from 1990 to 1995. Table 3-1 identifies population trends from 1970 to 1995. The 1995 estimates used in Table 3-1 are from the Minnesota Metropolitan Council.

Population Characteristics The best information on detailed population characteristics is from the 1990 Census. While this information is useful for identifying features of the County's population, it has limitations because of the significant growth that has occurred in the County since the Census. Based on available estimates, the County's population has increased between 15 and 24 percent since the Census. Reliable details of population characteristics will not be available until after the 2000 Census. The 1995 Census Bureau population estimates do provide some detail on the assumptions used to generate the estimate. The Census Bureau attributes over two-thirds of the County's population growth to net domestic in migration. Approximately 30 percent of the growth is attributed to births rates exceeding mortality rates. The following table provides detail on the age ranges of Carver County residents. The year 2000 projections on age distribution were generated following the 1990 Census and are based on 1990 Census data and trends witnessed between 1980 and 1990. The total population projection for 2000 used in this analysis, 57,390, is well below more recent population projections which now indicate that the County's population will exceed 63,000 people. Demographic Data 3-3 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Despite the lower projection totals, the age distribution patterns do provide insights into the County's population. In general, Carver County's population is younger than the State average. In 1990 and in projections for 2000, the County's population percentages in the under 50 age groups exceed State averages. The only exception is in the young adult population, age 20 to 24. The reverse is true in age groups 50 years old and older. While the County's population of age 40 years old and older is expected to increase by the year 2000 as baby boomers age and life- spans lengthen, the County will still have a smaller percentage of people in the age 50 and older age groups than the State as a whole.

Population Projections Both the Metropolitan Council and Claritas have projected population levels for Carver County and the cities in the County. The Metropolitan Council projections extend through the year 2020. Claritas' projections are only through the year 2000. Both projection sources indicate continued high rates of growth for Carver County. The Metropolitan Council uses two different projection methodologies depending on the year projected. Year 2000 projections are based on current trend development patterns. The year 2010 and 2020 projections are based on the Council's recently adopted Regional Growth Management Strategy. The 2010 and 2020 projections assume that significant policy action will be taken to manage growth and limit urban sprawl. 3-4 Demographic Data Carver County Housing Study December 1996 The Metropolitan Council projections based on the Regional Growth Management Strategy are nearly identical to or slightly higher than the previous projections based on current trend development patterns. If the Council is successful in controlling development and urban sprawl, existing communities in the Seven-County Metro Area will capture some of the growth that would otherwise be occurring in rural areas or in the exurban counties outside of the Metro Area.

It is important to note that the projections contained in Tables 3-4 and 3-5 are generated using the best available information. The projections for 2000 are based on recent growth trends. The difficulty with projections, particularly for small cities, is the impact that large development or new employment opportunities can have on future population levels. For example, some of the smaller cities in the County have been considering the development of significant, new residential subdivisions. In one city's case, the development being discussed would nearly double the size of the City. The projections contained in this report cannot anticipate development activity of that scale. These projections instead are based on the type of consistent, steady growth that has been occurring in Carver County in recent years.

The number of households in the County has increased by more than 21 percent since the 1990 Census (Table 3-6). The County's household growth has occurred at a faster rate than its population growth. This is due to the trend both locally and nationally to decreasing numbers of people per household. As the average number of people per household declines in the future, household growth should continue to exceed population growth.

Household Characteristics Average household size in the County has declined from 2.84 persons per household in 1990, to 2.79 persons per household in 1995 (Table 3-8). Similarly, nearly all of the cities in the County have also experienced a decline in the average number of people per household. From 1990 to 1995, all of the cities except Chanhassen witnessed household size decreases. Chanhassen's average household size increased 2.92 persons per household in 1990 to 2.93 persons in 1995. While the County-wide average household size has declined, Carver County's 1990 average of 2.84 persons per household was still well above the 1990 State-wide average of 2.58 persons per household. • Demographic Data 3-8 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Table 34 Average.Number of Persons Per Household 198€-1995 1980 1990 1995 Carver 2.94 2.84 2.65 Chanhassen 3.04 2.92 2.93 Chaska 2.77 2.67 2.66 Cologne 2.70 2.61 2.54 Hamburg 2.75 2.67 2.55 Mayer 2.73 2.84 2.77 New Germany 2.67 2.56 2.49 Norwood 2.76 2.62 2.55 Victoria 3.24 2.97 2.85 Waconia 2.60 2.40 2.34 Watertown 2.68 2.74 2.67 Young America 2.99 2.96 2.82 Carver County 3.02 2.84 2.79 Source:DataNet; 1990 Census;Metropolitan Council The County's average household size reflects in part the age composition of the County's population. As detailed previously, Carver County is above State-wide averages in the number of people under age 50, and below State-wide averages for age groups 50 years old and older. Consistent with the ages of County residents, the most common household types in Carver County are married couples with children and married couples without children (Table 3-9). In 1990, over 38 percent of the County's households were married couples with children, well above the State-wide average for that household type of over 28 percent. All of the cities except for Waconia and New Germany also exceeded the State average for married couples with children. Due to the significant increase in the number of households since 1990, the following table identifies household types by percentage of all households in the City/County rather than the actual number for each household type in 1990.

If the Council is successful in controlling development and urban sprawl, existing communities in the Seven-County Metro Area will capture some of the growth that would otherwise be occurring in rural areas or in the exurban counties outside of the Metro Area.

It is important to note that the projections contained in Tables 3-11 and 3-12 are generated using the best available information. The year 2000 projections are based on recent growth trends. The difficulty with projections, particularly for small cities, is the impact that large development or new employment opportunities can have on future population levels. For example, some of the smaller cities in the County have been considering the development of significant, new residential subdivisions. In one city's case, the development being discussed would nearly double the size of the City. The projections contained in the report �stent, steady growth that has been this anticipate that activity. Thse projections instead are based on type ofon occurring in Carver County in recent years. 3-12 Demographic Data Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Table 3-12 Household Projections Through 2020 Metropolitan Council 1990 Census 1995 2000 2010 2020 Estimate Projection Projection Projection Carver 262 282 350 500 700 Chanhassen 4,016 4,829 6,300 9,500 13,500 Chaska 4,212 5,116 5,900 8,000 10,000 Cologne 216 230 300 400 500 Hamburg 184 193 210 250 300 I Mayer 166 183 200 260 320 New Germany 138 147 160 200 230 Norwood 515 534 570 700 850 Victoria 756 981 1,350 2,000 3,000 Waconia 1,401 1,727 2,100 2,300 2,400 Watertown 848 910 1,000 1,300 1,650 Young America 457 541 600 800 1,000 Carver County 16,601 19,352 23,070 30,810 39,950 Source: 1990 Census;Metropolitan Council Carver County Households Projected to the Year 2020 1 40,000 35,000 30,000 25.000 20,000 15,000 10,000 ; I 1990 1995 2000 2010 2020 J Households Demographic Data 3-13 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Employment While many factors influence the need for housing, employment opportunities represent a predominant demand generator. Without jobs and corresponding wages, the means to afford housing is severely limited. Employment opportunities may be provided by a broad range of private and public business sectors. Jobs may be available in manufacturing, commercial services, agriculture, public administration, and other industries. The type of employment, wage level, and working conditions will each influence the kind of housing that is needed and at what level of affordability. The western portion of the Twin Cities Metro Area has been a strong and expanding location for economic development. According to the Growth Options report (January 1996) prepared by the Metropolitan Council, Eden Prairie, Chanhassen and Chaska all rank in the top 15 metro area communities for the number of commercial-industrial building permits issued between 1988 and 1993. The same report projects that following current trends, the quadrant of the Metro Area that includes Carver County will significantly lead the Metro Area in total employment by the year 2020. Carver County has seen steady growth in the labor force and in the level of employment since 1990 (Table 3-13). From 1990 through 1995, the available labor force has increased by over 21 percent, while the actual number of employed people has increased by nearly 23 percent. The County's unemployment rate has also dropped since 1990, and has been below 3 percent since 1994. Significant economic activity in Chaska, Chanhassen, Waconia and in other cities in the western and southwest portions of the Twin Cities area has provided ample employment opportunities for Carver County residents.

As a result, it reflects the overall employment increases between 1990 and mid-1994 but does not show the employment growth that has continued through 1996. It is also important to note that Tables 3-14 and 3-15 reflect data obtained from employers covered under the Minnesota unemployment compensation tax law. Approximately 97 percent of the total nonagricultural wage and salary employment in Minnesota is included in the data. Major groups excluded from the data are self-employed workers and farms with four or less employees in a 20 week period. From 1990 through the second quarter of 1994, Carver County experienced employment growth of more than 38 percent. All industry sectors, with the exception of transportation and public utilities have had job growth. The three largest employment sectors in the County are manufacturing, services and government employment. The largest subsector of services is business services, followed by health services.

As with other recent projections, the Metropolitan Council forecasts use different methodologies as a base. The year 2000 projections were generated using current trend development patterns, while the year 2010 and 2020 projections reflect the Council's recently adopted Regional Growth Management Strategy. The Regional Growth Management Strategy assumes that development policies and restrictions will direct future growth toward the current Metro Area and will limit urban sprawl in the rural areas and exurban counties. 3-18 Demographic Data • Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Table 3.18 EmploymentProjections Through 2020 etropu fan Council 1995 Estimate 2000 Projection 2010 Projection 2020 Projection Carver 103 120 160 200 Chanhassen 6,538 9,000 10,150 10,600 Chaska 10,884 12,700 12,500 13,200 Cologne 150 160 180 200 Hamburg 84 90 110 120 Mayer 59 80 100 130 New Germany 42 50 80 90 Norwood 375 400 480 550 Victoria 676 720 1,100 1,350 Waconia 3,233 3,800 5,020 5,500 Watertown 611 850 1,300 1,540 Young America 1,619 1,650 1,800 1,900 Carver County 25,402 30,930 34,820 37,070 Source: Metropolitan Council The Governor's Economic Vitality and Housing Initiative In response to a shortage of decent affordable housing in much of Greater Minnesota and its resulting impact on economic development efforts, in 1995 the Governor announced an Economic and Housing Vitality Initiative (EVHI). The Initiative is intended to "strengthen communities' economic development efforts by addressing the housing needs associated with economic development". To accomplish its goal, the Initiative combines new State appropriations of$15 million with $30 in recycled bond proceeds through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA). To target these EVHI funds, MHFA and the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED) have developed an index to assess net job growth in each region and county in the State. The index, from data issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, measures the total change in employment, both public and private, from 1991 to 1994. The EVHI statistics for Carver County show that the County had a 33.3 percent increase in employment, the largest percentage gain of the seven Metro counties and the second largest percentage gain in the State. The Metro Region had an 8.2 percent change in employment between 1991 and 1994. Demographic Data 3-19 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 For the most recent year of data, employment change from 1993 to 1994, Carver County had growth of 7.6 percent, second to only Scott County in the Metro Area, and well above the 3.4 percent gain for the Metro region. Carver County's high rankings in the EVHI index should help the County if it attempts to secure competitive funds through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency programs. Demographic Data 3-20 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Income Carver County ranked 5th of Minnesota's 87 counties for per capita income in 1989, The 1989 per capita income reported in the Census was 516,116 (Table 3-19). The federal Bureau of Economic Affairs (BEA) calculates an annual per capita income estimate for each county. The BEA estimate for 1993 ranks Carver County as 6th among Minnesota Counties. While County income statistics in 1990 were well above the State averages, this was due in large part to strong incomes in the County's largest cities, particularly Chanhassen and Victoria. Many of the smaller cities in the County were below State averages for per capita and median income.

Claritas estimates that the 1995 median household income in Carver County is $44,916, a 15 percent increase from 1989. Household income includes total money received in the stated calendar year by all household members 15 years old and over, tabulated for all households. The household wealth estimates provided in Table 3-20, have also been prepared by Claritas, Inc. Household wealth is defined as a measure of financial well-being by net worth. Household wealth estimates include all assets (property, vehicles, bank accounts, etc.) minus liabilities (loans, payments, debts, etc.) for the entire household. The basis for all wealth estimates is from continuing, comprehensive telephone surveys of more than 90,000 households per year. TUbIe 3-211 Estuaated Household Income and Wealth .

Demographic Data 3-29 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 This page intentionally left blank 3-30 Demographic Data Carver County Housing Study December 1996 EXISTING HOUSING INVENTORY City of Chanhassen Existing Housing Stock and Characteristics At the time of the 1990 Census, the City of Chanhassen had 4,249 year-round housing units. Of these units, 4,016 (94.5%) were occupied and 233 units (5.5%) were vacant. The Metropolitan Council estimates that in April 1995 there were 5,198 occupied housing units in the City, a gain of 1,182 households. From 1990 to 1994, 1,259 housing units were added to the City. The difference between the new housing construction totals and the number of occupied households is caused by the timing of the household estimates. Some of the housing units constructed in 1994 may not have been occupied at the time of the 1995 estimates. An additional 476 housing units were built in 1995, which will be reflected in the Council's 1996 household estimates. At the time of the Census, 85.4 percent of the occupied housing units in Chanhassen were owned housing, with the remaining 14.6 percent rented. Chanhassen's rate of home ownership was higher than both the Carver County average ( 79%) and the State average (71.8%). It is assumed that a large majority of the new housing units constructed in Chanhassen since 1990 are owner- occupied, so the percentage of owned units has risen slightly since the Census. The housing stock in the City of Chanhassen contains a large percentage of newer houses. For owner-occupied units in 1990, less than 5 percent were constructed prior to 1940, and less than 28 percent were constructed before 1970 (Table 4-10). The City's percentage of pre-1940 owned housing is very low compared to the State-wide average of approximately 25 percent, and well below the Carver County average of approximately 18 percent in 1990. Most of the City's rental units have also been constructed since 1970.

This table assumes that all single family and mobile home units are owner-occupied and that half of the townhouse units are owner-occupied. All multifamily units,duplex units and half of the townhouse units are assumed to be renter-occupied. Note:There are some minor inconsistencies in Census data. For example,Census totals for age of occupied housing do not exactly match the total number of units identified as occupied units in the Census. Variations are minor and generally do not amount to a difference of more than a few units. Existing Housing Inventory - City of Chanhassen 4-11 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 • Table 4-11 identifies the existing housing stock by structure type and occupancy tenure. It is possible that some housing units may have been lost since 1990 to demolition, conversion or obsolescence. Figures for lost units were not readily available at the time of this study and are not reflected in Table 4-11.

The section that follows will analyze a variety of existing characteristics. The section has been divided into two parts, addressing single family, primarily owner-occupied housing, separately from rental housing. Single Family and Owned Housing Construction Activity Chanhassen has lead all cities in Carver County in new housing construction in recent years. From 1990 to 1995, 1,349 new single family homes were constructed. In the 1980s, 1,634 new houses were built. Projections for the City indicate that high levels of household growth will continue for at least the next 25 years. In 1995 Chanhassen had more attached and multifamily construction activity than single family construction. According to City officials, most of this construction was owner-occupied town houses. Existing Housing Inventory- City of Chanhassen 4-12 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 According to the Metropolitan Council, there have been no mobile homes added to the City since 1990_ Table 4-12 shows new construction activity for single family units in the City since 1985. Over the last 11 years the City has averaged 249 new single family houses per year. w' able442Chanh senNeConstrucinAcivity 1985-1995.:...:.:::... :.' 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 Single 189 246 292 352 311 196 191 228 249 269 216 Family Source:Metropolitan Council Building Permit Trends Single Family Construction 1985-1995 3" 320 280 \\.. 240 ..,000 0,11139-' 200 160 i 1 , I i 1 i 1 i 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 Lj Single Family Building Permits Owner Occupied Housing Values While home values in Chanhassen are higher than in many other cities in Carver County, values are generally affordable based on Metro Area standards. County and City officials interviewed as part of this study believed that home values were steadily increasing in value. The Carver County Assessor's estimated market values for homesteaded houses were used to generate an median owner occupied house value. Using the Assessor's data, the median homesteaded house in Chanhassen is valued at $138,900 (Table 4-13). Claritas, a national data reporting service, also provides housing value estimates using the 1990 Census data as a base. Claritas estimates that the 1995 median value for owner occupied houses in Chanhassen is $140,597 in 1995.

The Metropolitan Council defines home ownership options below $115,000 as affordable in the Metro Area. Using this as a value threshold, over 25 percent of Chanhassen's owner-occupied housing is affordable. The percentage of affordable ownership options in Chanhassen may be slightly higher than indicated. The $115,000 threshold used by the Metropolitan Council was established using 1994 home values and has not been revised to reflect increases in median income since 1994. The analysis in Table 4-14 applies the 1994 values threshold to 1996 home values. One contributing factor to the low percentage of affordable houses in Chanhassen is the high cost of land in the City. Using County estimated market values, the median lot price for an homesteaded parcel in Chanhassen is $33,100, the highest of any City in the County. The median value lot in Chanhassen is over 47 percent higher than the median value lot in Chaska.

From May 1, 1995 to July 1, 1996, there were 264 improved residential sales in the City (Table 4-15). The median sale price was $159,900. Sales data was obtained from the Carver County Assessor. It is important to note that the sales Existing Housing Inventory - City of Chanhassen 4-14 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 data reported here are for"qualified sales" for fair market value. Sales for less than fair market value are not used by the County Assessor because they do not reflect actual market activity and true, "arms length"transactions. It is also possible that some recent sales in late June 1996 had not yet been recorded at the Courthouse and are not included in this analysis. The highest value sale in the City was for$680,000, and the lowest value sale was $65,000.

This is due in part to the new housing stock, with nearly three-fourths of the houses constructed since 1970. The high home values in Chanhassen also play a large role in the condition of the housing stock as home owners have a strong financial incentive to maintain and improve their properties due to their increasing value. The only neighborhood that City officials identified as having some substandard housing was the Carver Beach area near Lotus Lake. This area had originally been platted for small lots to accommodate seasonal cabins Existing Housing Inventory - City of Chanhassen 4-15 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 In June 1996, Community Partners Research, Inc. representatives conducted a visual observation of single family/duplex houses in this neighborhood. We were unable to find any significant concentrations of houses in need of repair. While some of the older, seasonal cabins still remain and some other houses in this area do need repair, there is also a mix of newer, higher value houses in this neighborhood. As buildable parcels of land become available, redevelopment has been occurring. This area has many natural amenities that make it an attractive residential neighborhood. While this is an appropriate neighborhood to target for available rehabilitation programs, activity will generally be"spot" rehabilitation and will not involve any concentration of rehab activity. Structure Values as an Indicator of Condition and Quality Community Partners Research, Inc., also analyzed single family/duplex/triplex structures using estimated market values supplied by the Carver County Assessor's Office. For this analysis only the building value of the primary residential homestead parcels was used. Land value or secondary parcels were excluded. While the building value may still include the value of secondary structures such as sheds or detached garages, in most cases, the value of the house will represent the majority of the estimated building value for the parcel. The Assessor's estimated market values generally range from 90% to 105% of true market value. The estimated market value is determined by examining a number of factors including quality, condition, age, square footage, location and comparable sales prices. This data provides an objective, consistent source of information on the homesteaded housing stock in the City. An analysis of the non-homesteaded housing stock is presented in the rental housing inventory section of this report. This analysis included all homesteaded residential structures in Chanhassen. Estimated market values for 4,692 homesteaded structures were examined. Structures in the report represent one, two or three unit houses, although to qualify for homestead status, the owner or an immediate family member must live in one of the units in two or three unit structures. Building values were divided into one of four value ranges as shown in Table 4-16. While value is not always an exact predictor of the structure's physical condition, it does provide an indication of the housing unit's condition and/or quality. For example, a small, one bedroom house may have a low estimated market value yet be in excellent physical condition. While value as an indicator of condition may be misleading in this instance, the low value does indicate that the unit may be functionally substandard in terms of current market expectations for square footage, etc. Existing Housing Inventory- City of Chanhassen 4-16 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Table 4-16 Homesteaded Building Value-11. 96-Structure V:alueOnly Value Range Number of Homesteaded Percent of Homesteaded Structures Structures $0 - $29,999 58 1.2% $30,000 - $59,999 267 5.7% $60,000 - $89,999 1,221 26.0% $90,000+ 3,146 67.1% Total 4,692 100% Source: Carver County Assessor;Community Partners Research,Inc.

According to the 1990 Census, only 2 mobile homes are in Chanhassen. No mobile homes have been added to the City since 1990. Existing Housing Inventory - City of Chanhassen 4-17 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Rental and Multifamily Housing In 1990, Chanhassen's percentage of rental housing was lower than both the State-wide and County averages. According to the Census, 14.6 percent of the occupied housing stock was rented. However, since 1990, a substantial number of new owned units have been built in Chanhassen, so the percentage of rental housing has decreased through 1995. According to the Census, nearly 73 percent of Chanhassen's rental housing stock is in multifamily buildings with 3 or more units per building, with the remaining units are in single family houses, townhouses, or other 1 and 2 unit structures. There are no subsidized building in Chanhassen, although one tax credit rental project exists with 28 of the 60 units assisted with tax credits. The Census identified 105 single family houses as renter-occupied and an additional 21 rental units in 2-unit structures, which may include duplexes. The estimated market value data from Carver County lists 98 houses (1 to 3 units) as non-homestead. While non-homestead status could include houses other than rental units, such as vacant houses, it is believed that a majority of the non-homestead structures represent rental stock. Based on the high values of some of the non-homestead houses, it would appear that some houses that were vacant and for sale may have been included in the non-homestead listing. Excluding all houses over $200,000 in value, there were 81 non-homestead houses that may represent rental houses. Compared to the Census totals, it would appear that some of the rental houses in Chanhassen in 1990 are no longer being rented. The median value for the 81 non-homestead houses examined is $80,900, well below the median value of$138,900 for homesteaded houses. Based on the lower values, it appears that rental houses are generally older and/or in poor physical condition compared to the owner-occupied housing stock. Multifamily Rental Inventory The survey of multifamily rental buildings in Chanhassen found a very tight rental market in the City, with the only vacant units in the newly opened Centennial Hill senior apartment which had just opened and already was 66 percent leased. None of the other buildings contacted had any vacant units and most building managers indicated that vacancies were rare. Some buildings did report that they would have units turning-over in the next few months, but most were confident that the units would be leased by the time they became available. The low to non-existent vacancy rate in Chanhassen in 1996 is consistent with the findings of a previous rental survey in 1992 conducted by the Maxfield Research Group which found only 1 vacant unit in Chanhassen in seven properties contacted. Most of the building managers we talked to indicated that very few vacancies have existed in recent years. There are no subsidized apartment units in Chanhassen. There is one building that was developed using federal housing tax credits. In this building, 28 of the 60 units were tax credit assisted and have maximum rent levels and household income levels. The building manager indicated that Existing Housing Inventory- City of Chanhassen 4-18 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 while all of the tax credit assisted units were occupied, there was limited demand for these units because people below the allowable income limits often had difficulty affording the unit rents. Rental rates for unit types ranged as follows: Studio/Efficiency units $345 - $400 1 Bedroom units $445 - $695 1 Bedroom +Den units $710 - $765 2 Bedroom units $540 - $835 3 Bedroom units $895 Only one building surveyed, West Village Townhomes had any 3 bedroom units, and this project only had eight 3 bedroom units.

Rental Housing Affordability According to analysis and standards from the Metropolitan Council, 44 percent of Chanhassen's rental units are considered affordable. This percentage is well above the benchmark of 35-37 percent established by the Council based on communities of similar location and stage of development. Chanhassen's high percentage of affordable units is due in part to the large number of units in the City that were built in the 1960s and early 1970s that have rent levels well below the rents charged by the City's newer buildings. Existing Housing Inventory - City of Chanhassen 4-20 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS City of Chanhassen Key Statistics 1995 Population = 15,231 1995 Households = 5,198 Projected household growth by the year 2000 = 1,102 to 1,481 new households 1990 tenure rates= 85.4% owner, 14.6% renter 1996 Median owner-occupied house value= $138,900 Median Value of Recent Sales =$159,900 1995 Median Household Income= $59,819 1995 Average number of persons per household = 2.93 Monthly rent payment ability (median income household) _ $1,495 Monthly affordable rent payment ability (50%of median income household) = $748 Mortgage ability (median income household) = $152,000 Growth Projections Findings: Chanhassen has experienced tremendous household growth in recent decades. In the 1980s, the City grew by nearly 94 percent. From 1990 to 1995, the household growth rate was over 29 percent. Projections indicate that the household growth rate between 1995 and 2000 will be between 21 and 27 percent, adding an estimated 1,102 to 1,481 new households by the year 2000. The City has generated its own population projections that indicate a faster rate of growth than the Metropolitan Council projections. Converting the City's population projections into households indicates that Chanhassen expects to add over 2,000 households by the year 2000. Housing Affordability- Ownership Findings: The City's estimated median owner-occupied home value in 1996 is $138,900. Recent residential sales data indicates that the median priced home sale over the past 15 months was $159,900. Analysis of housing affordability by the Metropolitan Council indicates that the existing housing stock is not affordable. Using Metro Area income levels, the Metropolitan Council has estimated that 37 percent of Chanhassen's owner-occupied housing is affordable, well below the benchmark Findings and Recommendations - City of Chanhassen 5-12 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 for similar communities of 60-69 percent affordable. Chanhassen has the second highest median house value of the cities in Carver County, and is one of only two cities in the County that do exceed the affordable ownership benchmarks. The Metropolitan Council analysis is based on the Twin Cities Area median household income. Chanhassen's 1995 estimated household income is $59,819. With a fixed rate, 30 year mortgage at 8.5 percent, a median income household in Chanhassen could afford a mortgage of approximately $152,000, more than the estimated median house value in the City. Recommendations: Most of the City's current housing stock is not affordable by Metropolitan Area standards, and it is anticipated that much of the future housing construction will be above the threshold defined as affordable. It will be important for the City to maintain the quality and supply of the older, existing houses in the City. These units represent the largest inventory of affordable houses in Chanhassen. The City's Livable Communities Act goal is to increase the percentage of affordable ownership housing in the City to 50 percent. Based on the number of owned units in the City and the number anticipated in the next few years, increasing the supply of affordable units to 50 percent will require significant new affordable priced housing construction. According to estimated market value data from Carver County, Chanhassen's residential lot values are the highest in the County, with the median lot value over$33,000. High land costs will make it even more difficult to produce affordable priced ownership options To address this issue the City has been working on development ideas that lower land costs. According to City staff, more attached housing units were constructed in the past year than detached units. A zero lot line subdivision is being planned that would provide 30 affordable houses, and other attached and higher density development options are being discussed. These ideas and similar efforts to reduce the land cost for new development should be continued. Another option the City may wish to consider is a publicly developed residential subdivision. The Carver County HRA has successfully developed a subdivision in Cologne and has another planned in Chaska. By providing lower priced lots, the HRA has been able to generate affordable new home construction. Additionally, continued use of programs that enhance home ownership opportunities is also encouraged. First time home buyer mortgages, down payment assistance and similar programs will help moderate income households afford to purchase their housing. Housing Rehabilitation Findings: A large majority of the City's single family houses have been constructed since 1970, and the City's percentage of pre-1940 built houses is well below the State-wide average. The combination of newer housing and high home values for older housing has resulted in a housing stock that is in excellent physical condition. Findings and Recommendations - City of Chanhassen 5-13 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 City staff had indicated that one small neighborhood in the City may contain some substandard houses. A visual survey of exterior housing condition was conducted in this older neighborhood. The survey found that while there were some houses in need of repair in this area, there were no concentrations of substandard houses. This neighborhood had many natural amenities and it appeared that activity to repair or replace the older housing had been occurring. Recommendations: While the identified neighborhood is an appropriate area to target rehabilitation assistance, activity will largely be"spot" rehabilitation. While there were houses in need of repair, there were no specific blocks or clusters of substandard housing. It appears that market forces are correcting some of the problem, and continued access to grant and loan resources from local, state and federal sources should continue to be utilized to improve the quality of the existing stock. Single Family Housing Development Findings: Single family housing construction activity has been substantial in recent years, and projections indicate that Chanhassen will experience the second fastest household growth rate in the County between 1995 and 2000. Chanhassen is below Livable Communities Act benchmarks for both the percentage of attached/multifamily housing options, and in the percentage of rental units in the community. The City's goal is to increase the supply of both attached housing and rental housing options in the future. Recommendations: The private market has been addressing the need for housing construction and lot development in Chanhassen, including the development of town houses. The City's involvement in future housing development has been and should continue to be the promotion and facilitation of affordable ownership options. High land values complicate efforts to build affordable units. The City is working on policies that help reduce land costs through smaller lot sizes, town house development and other higher density development ideas. Housing Affordability- Rental Findings: The Metropolitan Council analysis indicates that 44 percent of the City's rental units are affordable by Metro standards, above the benchmark of 35-37 percent for comparable cities. The Metropolitan Council analysis used 1990 Census data as a base. Applying the same methodology to 1996, the threshold for an affordable rental unit would be $683 for gross monthly rent. The rental housing inventory conducted for this study indicates that a majority of the multifamily rental units in the City would be considered affordable by 1996 standards. This is due in large part to the number of rental units in the City constructed in the 1960s and 1970s. Most of the rental units constructed in the past 10 years have rent levels above the Metropolitan definition of affordable. There are no subsidized developments in the City. Findings and Recommendations - City of Chanhassen 5-14 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 The City's Livable Communities Act goals indicate a lowering of the percentage of affordable rental units into the benchmark range for similar communities. This implies that future rental development will largely be at levels above the threshold defined as affordable by the Metropolitan Council. Recommendations: As with owner-occupied housing, the key to maintaining an affordable supply of rental units will be dependent on preserving the condition and quality of the existing rental stock. Given the high construction costs associated with new rental construction and the absence of rental production subsidy programs, it will be difficult to build new rental housing that will be affordable to lower income households. Promotion of rental rehabilitation loan programs will help encourage the maintenance and improvement of the existing rental stock which will help serve the City's affordable rental housing needs in the years ahead. Rental Housing Development Findings: Chanhassen's rental demand through the year 2000 is estimated to be 250 units. Demand is based both on anticipated household growth in the City and on pent up demand. Additional demand may be generated by a number of other factors, including faster than anticipated household growth in the City. Chanhassen's internal projections for the year 2000 indicate a significantly higher rate of household growth than projected by the Metropolitan Council. For this study, the more conservative projections have been used. Demand for rental units will also be impacted by the action or lack of action to address rental housing needs in neighboring communities. Other cities around Chanhassen will also be growing at a significant rate. If these communities do not create new rental opportunities, there will be additional demand for new units built in Chanhassen. Chanhassen has recently developed 65 senior market rate rental units. Within the first month of occupancy, approximately 86 percent of the units had been rented. The remaining units available in the senior building are the only vacant units found in a rental survey of Chanhassen's multifamily rental buildings. A previous rental survey in 1992 found only one vacant unit in the City at that time, indicating that an extremely tight rental market has existed for many years. Chanhassen's mix of owner to renter housing 85 percent owner/15 percent renter, well below the benchmark established for the Livable Communities Act. Chanhassen's goal is to increase the percentage of rental housing in the community 20 percent. Chanhassen is planning the development of a 70 unit general occupancy development with Victoria, Chaska and Eden Prairie which will be located in near a transit hub in Eden Prairie. While this project may alleviate some of the immediate demand for rental units, anticipated growth in the area will continue to create demand for rental housing. Chanhassen has no subsidized rental buildings for senior or general occupancy. A tax credit project was built in the City, with 28 units assisted by tax credits. However, two bedroom unit rents in this building start at $690, which would not be affordable for lower income households. Findings and Recommendations - City of Chanhassen 5-15 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Chanhassen has the highest annual median household income in Carver County at $59,819 in 1995. Recommendations: Based on the analysis of the findings, we are recommending a total of 80-96 rental units which includes 12-16 general occupancy luxury market rate units, 36-40 general occupancy market rate units, 20-24 general occupancy subsidized units and 12-16 senior subsidized units. Based on demand estimates, additional rental units will be needed before the year 2000. We would recommend initial construction of the units recommended above, with additional units constructed after initial units demonstrate the product's market acceptance.

Findings and Recommendations - City of Chanhassen 5-16 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Public Facilities Capacity Findings: The City is served by the MUSA sewer system. There were no capacity problems identified with the City's water system. Recommendations: The City is taking the necessary actions to address its municipal facilities issues. At this time no further action has been identified. Findings and Recommendations - City of Chanhassen 5-17 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 RENTAL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT Introduction Rental demand and construction recommendations in Carver County have been determined through the analysis of the following: • Population and Household Growth Projections ► Employment Projections ► Household Incomes ► Households by Tenure ► Metropolitan Council's Rental Unit Bench Mark vs. Rental Unit Index for each Municipality ► Existing Rental Inventory including Number of Units, Sizes, Rents, Vacancy Rates, Waiting Lists, etc. • Interviews and Surveys conducted in each municipalities Through this analysis, we have determined that between 428 and 521 rental units are needed in Carver County by the year 2000. The number of units recommended is below our calculations of potential unit demand. We have taken a conservative approach to our recommendations for a number of reasons. Most of the future demand for rental units will be caused by projected household growth in the County. If this growth occurs as anticipated or at an even faster rate, there may be additional rental units needed in some of the cities. We have also recognized that some of the units that are needed cannot be produced in a price range that would be affordable to the intended occupant. Without federal housing production subsidies, it will be very difficult to produce new rental housing affordable to low income households. We have recommended some subsidized units that seem compatible with the communities and the subsidy resources available. The following table identifies the unit recommendations in the following categories: General Occupancy ► Luxury Market Rate • Market Rate ► Subsidized Senior-Specific ► Market Rate ► Subsidized Rental Housing Development - Carver County 6-1 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Rental Housing Recommendations Carver County General Occupancy Senior Luxury Market Market Market Rate Rate Subsidized ate Subsidized Carver 0 16-20 0 8-10 0 Chanhassen 12-16 36-40 20-24 0 12-16 Chaska 12-16 42-50 20-24 60-75 30-36 Cologne 0 12-16 0 0 0 Hamburg 0 0 0 0 0 Mayer 0 0 0 0 0 New Germany 0 0 0 0 0 Norwood Y.A. 0 14-16 12-16 10-12 0 Victoria 10-12 0 0 10-12 0 Waconia 6-8 36-40 12-16 0 16-20 Watertown 0 14-16 8-10 0 0 Total 40-52 170-198 72-90 88-109 58-72 • Grand Total 428-521 Source: Community Partners Research,Inc.

General occupancy rental recommendations have been divided into three separate categories defining luxury market rate, market rate and subsidized unit construction. Luxury market rate housing has no income restrictions and targets higher income renters, including professionals, empty nesters and retirees who are seeking luxury housing with a high level of amenities. This type of housing will appeal to approximately eight percent of the renters in Carver County. Market rate housing targets middle income renters including young families, young couples, singles, seniors who are not interested in senior housing, etc. The rents for market rate housing range from $540 to $750 and include a variety of amenities. Subsidized rental housing targets low and moderate income households, typically young families, single parent families and low income singles. Luxury Market Rate Units Recommendation: Carver County's median household income of$44,916 is over 20 percent higher than Minnesota's overall median household income. Several Carver County municipalities, such as Victoria and Chanhassen, have very high annual incomes. Additionally, Carver County has become increasingly popular as a place to live and work. To accommodate the higher income households that are moving into Carver County and have chosen not to purchase a home, it is recommended that a total of 40-52 luxury rental units are constructed in Chaska, Chanhassen, Victoria and Waconia. The specific recommendations for unit sizes, type and rents are included in the individual city Findings and Recommendations section of this report. Development Concept: The luxury market rate units should be built at a prime location such as on a golf course or on a lake and should include a high level of amenities. Townhouse one level units are recommended with private entrances, attached garages, and decks or patios. Amenities should include high quality construction, oak cabintry, spacious rooms, a master bath, walk in closets, a utility room with a washer and dryer, central air conditioning, microwave, dishwasher, etc. Financing: It is estimated that the projected rents for the luxury market rate units are sufficient to allow the private sector to construct the units with no public sector assistance. Rental Housing Development - Carver County 6-3 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Market Rate Units l Recommendations: There is a need for 170 to 198 market rate units in Carver County. Very few vacancies exist in market rate projects in Carver County, and many report a strong demand for units. Also, the majority of the general occupancy renter households moving into Carver County will be seeking market rate units. It is recommended that market rate units be constructed in Carver, Chanhassen, Chaska, Cologne, Norwood Young America, Waconia and Watertown. The specific recommendations for unit sizes, type and rents are included in the individual city Findings and Recommendations section of this report. Development Concepts: The development concepts will vary in each municipality based primarily on the number of units constructed. It is recommended that larger projects (over 30 units)include two or three level buildings with an elevator and underground parking. The small projects can include various designs such as single level buildings with common hallways or single level buildings with units that have separate exterior entrances. All of the development concepts should include protected parking at a ratio of one space per unit, Quest surface parking, ample closet space, storage area, dishwasher, micro wave, washer and dryer in each unit and a patio or deck. The larger projects should include a community room. Financing: Public sector assistance will be needed to construct the market rate units with the rents that are recommended. Public sector assistance can include Essential Function Bonds, Tax Increment Financing, tax credits, land donations, utility extensions, etc. Subsidized Units Recommendation: All of the general occupancy subsidized projects in Carver County were inventoried and the only vacancies that existed were in a FmHA project in Hamburg. Most of the projects had long waiting lists. The recommendations for subsidized units are modest, however, taking into consideration the lack of funding that is currently available to assist with developing subsidized housing. Additionally, the negotiated goals for the Livable Communities Act for Carver County cities include the objective that at least 21 percent of the rental units constructed through the year 2010 are affordable units. The recommended general occupancy subsidized units total approximately 17 percent of the total proposed units for Carver County. If Subsidized rental units are constructed as multifamily buildings, we would recommend placement of units in Chaska, Chanhassen, Norwood Young America, Waconia and Watertown. The specific recommendations for unit sizes, type and rents are included in the individual city Findings and Recommendations section of this report. If subsidized units are provided through scattered site acquisition or new construction, it would be appropriate to locate units in any of the cities with the possible exception of Hamburg, which has vacant subsidized units. If the scattered site approach is used, the majority of units should still be located in the largest cities in the County, providing lower income tenants with access to jobs and services. Rental Housing Development - Carver County 6-4 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Design Concept: For new construction, townhouse and cottage style units are the preferred design concepts for family rental units. Units should include separate exterior entrances, children's play area, large kitchen area, storage rooms, washers and dryers in each unit and adequate green space. Financing: Federal and State funding cut backs have created a severe shortage in funding for subsidized housing. All potential funding sources such as the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Metropolitan Council must be researched and monitored for potential funding. Subsidized housing projects in Carver County will include funding from many funding sources and must include creative development methods. Rental Housing Development - Carver County 6-5 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 SENIOR HOUSING RENTAL DEMAND Introduction We have estimated that approximately 34 percent of the rental demand in Carver County will be from independent living senior units which totals 146-181 units. There may be additional demand for senior housing with services, such as assisted living. Senior rental recommendations have been divided into two categories, market rate and subsidized. Market rate senior housing targets moderate to middle income seniors that require few services. It is estimated that approximately 60 percent of the senior housing demand will be for market rate rental housing. Rent for market rate senior housing will range from $540 to $710. Subsidized senior housing targets senior households with annual incomes under $15,000. Approximately 40 percent of the recommended senior housing units are proposed to be subsidized. The rents are typically based on 30 percent of household income. Market Rate Senior Housing Recommendation: There is a need for 88-109 senior market rate rental units in Carver County. The existing senior market rate units have no vacancies and several projects have long waiting lists. Additionally, the senior population (65 and over) is projected to increase by 1,007 persons from 1990 to 2000. We are recommending the development of market rate senior units in Carver, Chaska, Norwood Young America, and Victoria. The specific recommendations for unit sizes, type and rents are included in the individual city Findings and Recommendations section of this report. Although market rate senior housing demand may exist in other cities in the County, this demand can be met through the development of general occupancy market rate units. Development Concept: The larger project in Chaska should consist of a multi-level elevator building with underground parking. The smaller unit projects in Carver, Norwood Young America, and Victoria should be townhouse/cottage style projects with separate exterior entrances for each unit. All of the projects should include community space with a serving kitchen that could be utilized for meal service later as residents age and desire some type of meal program. We also recommend protected parking at a ratio of one space per unit. In addition, ample surface parking should also be available for guests and seniors who desire to maintain their cars but do not want to pay for a garage. Unit features should include ample closet space as prospective tenants will have numerous Rental Housing Development - Carver County 6-6 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 belongings they will be moving from their single family homes. At minimum, a walk-in closet should be included with each unit. If possible, a separate storage room should be incorporated into each unit. Other standard design features for senior buildings should include raised outlets, lever door handles and lowered kitchen cabinets. Expansive window area is also an asset for senior units as many seniors spend a significant portion of their time in their units and enjoy ample daylight and views to the outdoors. Balconies and patios are also recommended. Additionally, each unit should have its own laundry room equipped with a washer and dryer. Financing: Public sector assistance will be needed to construct senior market rate units with the rents that are recommended. As with general occupancy units the public sector assistance can include Essential Function Bonds, Tax Increment Financing, tax credits, land donations, utility extensions, etc. Subsidized Senior Units Recommendation: All of the senior subsidized projects in Carver County were inventoried and no vacancies exist with the exception of some vacancies in a FmHA project in Mayer. The majority of the senior projects have extensive waiting lists. Additionally, as with the general occupancy rental units the Livable Communities Act Goals for Carver County include an objective that over 21 percent of the rental units constructed through the year 2010 are affordable. The recommended subsidized senior units represent approximately 14 percent of the total units that are recommended. Subsidized senior units are recommended in Chanhassen, Chaska and Waconia. The specific recommendations for unit sizes, type and rents are included in the individual city Findings and Recommendations section of this report. These three municipalities provide the services that low income senior households need on a daily basis. Design Concept: The design concept for Chaska should be a two level elevator building and the smaller projects in Chanhassen and Waconia should be one level buildings with common hallways and interior entrances into each unit. To the extent that is financially feasible, the subsidized senior units should include the amenities described for market rate units with the exception of protected parking and washers and dryers in each unit. Financing: State and Federal financing for subsidized senior units is virtually non-existent, thus, local public and non-profit funds must be utilized to subsidize senior housing.

The following is a synopsis of financing options, some of which was prepared with the assistance of Miller& Schroeder Financial Inc. All options have stipulations, regulations and limitations. It is suggested you consult with a financial advisor for specific information. The abandonment of housing development programs by the federal government coupled with the elimination of tax incentives for private developers has placed a huge burden on Housing and Redevelopment Authorities to take on the role of providing affordable housing in their communities. There currently is no advantage for anyone else to assume the role of housing developer. In fact, at the present time the only readily available government program for private developers, low income housing tax credits, is at risk of being terminated. Due to the lack of interest by private developers and the increasing demand being voiced by city councils, economic development authorities and employers, HRAs have been forced into the role of housing developers for which they have been searching for alternative funding options. The most widely used option has been essential function bonds. Essential Function Bonds (Essential Purpose Bonds) The changes made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 significantly reduced the incentives of the private sector to develop multi-family rental housing. The Tax Act, coupled with the prohibitive multi-family real estate tax costs in the State of Minnesota, make it financially infeasible for the private sector to develop affordable housing, despite a need for housing to maintain and expand economic development. In response to this dilemma, many communities have taken a pro-active approach to providing the housing which the private sector, in more economically favorable times, traditionally developed. Housing Authorities throughout Minnesota have utilized Essential Function Bonds to finance the development and construction of affordable housing within their communities. Essential Function Bonds are available to certain public agencies such as an Economic Development Authority or Housing and Redevelopment Authority as tax-exempt financing to acquire or develop affordable housing. Essential Function Bonds are revenue bonds and not general obligations of the City. The primary advantages are: 1. Because the bonds will be tax-exempt for federal and state income tax purposes, lower interest rates will be obtained on the financing. 2. Because the bonds are Essential Function Bonds, the interest paid is not a tax preference item included in the calculation of the bond holders' alternative minimum tax, again permitting a lower interest rate on the financing. Agencies and Resources 7-3 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 3. Essential purpose bonds are not subject to private activity bond volume limitations. 4. Because the Authority is the owner of the development, it will make payment in lieu of real estate taxes (PILOT), which will be less than the taxes on a privately-owned development. This factor results in lower operating expenses which helps to keep the rents at a level that the market can bear. 5. It may be possible to structure the terms of the issue to meet the needs of your organization. 6. You may be able to structure your own tenant composition, free from federal tax law income requirements. . 7. Because the development is owned by a public entity, the profit motivation of a private developer is removed from the transaction, which also contributes to keeping the rents at an affordable level. 8. The Housing Authority has complete control over decisions regarding all development aspects. No federal or state approvals required. Timeline 1.

Those typically used include letters of credit, 7-4 Agencies and Resources Carver County Housing Study December 1996 FHA and FNMA insured mortgage loans and Section 8 contracts. However, to provide additional security through local enhancements you may elect to include one or more of the following: 1. Unencumbered Asset Pledge - If you own other housing projects, you may take assets not otherwise encumbered, to make debt service payments on the bonds, should project revenues be insufficient. 2. Operating Deficit Guaranty- A guarantee by the involved county, cities or local corporations to guaranty to cover any operating shortfalls, usually on an annual basis. 3. Excess Tax Increment Funds - If the project is located in a tax increment district or if a tax increment district in the city or county where the project is located is generating surplus funds, the surplus can be designated to cover any shortfalls for this project. The designation can be made for the life of the tax increment district or the life of the bonds. h_ Annually Approved Tax Levy - HRAs have the ability under state statute to levy a special benefit tax with the approval of their governing board (city or county). This tax can be a maximum of 0.0131% of the taxable market value of the city or county in which the HRA is located. This is an annual process with annual approval required from the governing board. This levy can be used to back the housing projects. 5. General Obligation - Tax Pledge - In Minnesota, cities and counties can use full faith and credit taxing ability to secure projects developed by an HRA. The general obligation pledge would be used as additional security for revenue bonds payable from income or revenues of the project. The maximum general obligation pledge is the greater of.5% of market value of the property in the jurisdiction, or $3,000,000. In addition, no individual family may have an income higher than 80% of the median family income as estimated by HUD. Other Local Funding Mechanisms Corporate Involvement In communities where employee housing is a particular issue with local employers, corporations have stepped to the forefront to participate in the financing of community housing.

Pooled Housing Revenue Fund While any project can be financed on a project-by-project basis, it is possible to create a Pooled Agencies and Resources 7-5 Carver County Housing Study December 1996 Housing Revenue Fund for the purpose of developing multiple projects. The "Fund" can issue bonds which will be payable from the gross revenue generated by all of the projects funded under the indenture.

For safety sake we feel we should install a snow and rain shed,or roof over the front door. We are requesting permission to do so.The roof would be 12 feet wide, 12 feet high(to fit under existing eve)and 16 feet long. It would be designed like a miniature greenhouse of glass,steel and poly carbonate.The structure would be bolted to our existing cement slab. If we are to do this we would need a quick decision,as the crew building our existing greenhouse is from Canada and will be through with construction very shortly.

This building represents the third building within the project. The permitted uses within the building are those specified as office or personal services. The proposed building includes 38 underground parking stalls and will share its surface parking with St. Hubert Catholic Community. The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural standards and site design. The intent is to create a pedestrian friendly, "traditional"village character consistent with the European heritage of the upper midwest including the north-midwestern architectural vocabulary, village like human scale and flavor, and variety in design and facade treatment. The building architecture embodies many of the elements specified in the development design standards. The facade is composed of darker colored split face concrete block base with smooth stucco-like EIFS finishes on the walls above, accent bands and tiles, and a heavy cornice. Additional elements include standing seam metal hip roof with gabled lookouts, a cupola at the roof peak, decorative profiles, arched windows, dormer windows, and a rotunda supported with columns. The PUD requires that the developer and future site users shall incorporate street/plaza furniture, planting boxes,public art,bicycle racks,drinking fountains, etc. within the development and on individual site plans. The area just west of the western entrance rotunda acts as a sight terminus along main street. Staff recommends that this area be developed as a mini-plaza,reflecting elements of other plazas within the development,and incorporate either public art, fountains, and/or benches. Staff believes that the proposed development fulfills the intent of the PUD and is recommending approval of site plan#97-9 subject to the conditions of the staff report. BACKGROUND On August 12, 1996, the City Council granted preliminary approval of PUD #92-1 including a Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment from Office/industrial, Institutional,Residential Medium Density, Residential Low Density to Mixed Use-Commercial, High Density Residential, Institutional and Office; Preliminary planned unit development for up to 291,000 sq. ft. of commercial/office buildings, 100,000 sq. ft. of institutional buildings, and 322 dwelling units; Rezoning from IOP and RSF to PUD, Planned Unit Development(first reading); Preliminary plat for 13 lots and 3 outlots and public right-of-way; Wetland Alteration Permit to fill and excavate Office Service Phase I July 16, 1997 Page 3 wetlands on site; Vacation of right-of-way and easements; Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW)findings of Negative Declaration of the need for additional environmental investigation; and Indirect Source Permit Review for the Villages on the Ponds project. On September 23, 1996, the City Council approved PUD 95-2,Villages on the Ponds, including a Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment from Office/industrial, Institutional, Residential Medium Density,Residential Low Density to Mixed Use-Commercial, High Density Residential, Institutional and Office; Preliminary planned unit development for up to 291,000 sq. ft. of commercial/office buildings, 100,000 sq. ft. of institutional buildings, and 322 dwelling units; Rezoning from IOP and RSF to PUD, Planned Unit Development(final reading); and final plat dated"Received September 19, 1996"for two lots and ten outlots and public right-of-way. The city has also approved site plans for St. Hubert Catholic Community and Americlnn within the Village on the Ponds project. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE DEVELOPMENT DESIGN STANDARDS a. Intent The purpose of this zone is to create a mixed use PUD consisting of commercial, institutional, office, and residential uses. The use of the PUD zone is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive proposal. All utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for development shall proceed through site plan review based on the development standards outlined below. b. Permitted Uses The permitted uses in this zone should be limited to uses as defined below or similar uses to those as listed in the Standard Industrial Classification. If there is a question as to the whether or not a use meets the definition, the Planning Director shall make that interpretation. No single retail user shall exceed 20,000 square feet on a single level of a building. A maximum of thirty- three(33)percent of the square footage of the retail users within the development may be of a "big box" category. The intent of this requirement is to provide a variety of users, including small retail shops, service providers, coffee shops, cabarets, etc., for residents of the Villages as well as the community as a whole, rather than typical suburban type large, individual users dominating the development and detracting from the"village"character. Retail users should be those that support and compliment the residential development located within the development, providing goods and services which enhance residents of the village and the community.

In no instance shall more than 27,000 square feet of addition institutional building square footage be reallocated without an amendment to the PUD. e. Building Materials and Design 1. The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural standards and site design. The intent is to create a pedestrian friendly, "traditional" village character consistent with the European heritage of the upper midwest and the atmosphere within this development, yet with the amenities and technological tools of modern times. The village elevations shown on the PUD drawings are to be used only as a general guideline and the reflection of the overall village image including the north- midwestern architectural vocabulary,village like human scale and flavor, and variety in design and facade treatment. 2. All materials shall be of high quality and durable. Major exterior surfaces of all walls shall be face brick, stone,glass, stucco, architecturally treated concrete, cast in place panels, decorative block,cedar siding,vinyl siding in residential with support materials,or approved equivalent as determined by the city.

DESIGN DESCRIPTION/CONFORMANCE TO PUD 1.1 Site Planning In terms of use, location, relationship to Main Street and surrounding uses, the building fully conforms to all positive provisions of the PUD, Sector I. In every respect, the proposed building and site utilization matches the PUD plans and texts. In addition, site grading and landscaping conform to the PUD plans as well. The main pedestrian entrance is from the parking lot on the east side. The entry drive to the subterranean garage is logically placed at the lower grade on the south side. The PUD plans do not envision any direct entry to the building from the sidewalk on Main Street due to the lack of parking on the curved segment of Main Street, and due to the character of the office uses that will be housed in this building. The building is located on an elevated pad right at the south entrance of Main Street, and offers commanding views towards Lake Suson and the marshlands below. There is an ample landscape area between the building and Main Street, offering the opportunity for a very nice entry statement as the street leads uphill towards Church Plaza, located just north of this office building. Along with the St. Hubert's Church, this building mass forms and shapes the public realm of Church Plaza, the pedestrian hub at the south end of Main Street. Parking is provided at an approximate ratio of 3.5 spaces/1,000 SF of building area, and is part of the integrated parking concept within the whole PUD area containing over 100,000 SF of office uses. 1.2 Building Design The design team made an effort to integrate this building into the overall Village "traditional" character and vernacular architecture. Instead of the typical characteristics of a suburban office building with long window bands of reflective glass, flat roofs and straight, high-tech lines, this building's exterior does not reveal its use. It can be easily taken as a motel, apartment, institutional building, or other uses. As such, it will be well integrate into the Main Street architecture that contains a number of different uses and building"styles," once it is completed over a period of time. The building design reflects the PUD's intent to create a "village image and flavor, and a variety of human-scale and treatment." ARCHITECTURE • PLkNNING• INTERIORS • CONSULTING • The materials used also comply with PUD guidelines and intent. The facade is composed -of a darker colored split face concrete block "base" with smooth stucco-like EIFS finishes on the walls above, accent tiles, and a heavy cornice at the top. Further elements include standing seam sheet metal roof, arched windows, decorative profiles, dormer-windows, ga- bles, "rotunda" supported with the columns, and the cupola at the roof peak. The building is clearly a reflection of traditional architecture, yet with a modern "twist" to it. The glass will be a see-through and tinted with honestly expressed mullions. Only at the corner areas at a limited area of"curtain wall," the glass will be lightly reflective, but in the same color as all other glass. 2. SIGNAGE • There are no ground-level monument signs on this site. The wall signs will comply with PUD provisions and the city's sign ordinance for the CBD for determination of maximum sign area. The wall signs will be located less than 20 feet high above ground on the horizontal wall "band" above the first floor windows, and will not exceed 30 inches in height. They will be placed on the street facade only, and at the entrance of the facade facing the parking area.

BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 • FAX (612) 937-5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Sharmin Al-Jaff, Planner II DATE: July 16, 1997 SUBJ: Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Section 20-908. YARD REGULATIONS. (5), to allow porches to encroach 10 feet into a required front yard setback. A variance application recently appeared before the Board of Adjustments and Appeals requesting they be allowed to construct a porch within the required front yard setback. There were several reasons for the request, however, the reason which prompted this ordinance amendment proposal dealt with the applicant wishing to define the entrance into their home. Mayor Mancino was present at the meeting. Following the meeting, staff was directed to investigate amending the ordinance to allow and encourage such additions without having to go through a variance process. The requested variance was for a porch that exceeded the 3 foot maximum encroachment. It should be noted that there are homes with porches throughout the city. The issue here is whether or not existing homes that want to add a porch should have to go through the variance process. All new housing which have front porches no matter the size, have to meet the underlying setback requirements. The intent of this amendment is to address existing homes that want to add a front porch. The purpose of the porch/balcony is to add architectural interest to older homes that may not have defined entrances. The current ordinance pertaining to porches states: Sec. 20-908. Yard regulations (5) The following shall not be considered to be obstructions: Planning Commission July 18, 1997 Page 2 a. "Into any required front yard, or required side yard adjoining a side street lot line, cornices, canopies, eaves, or other architectural features may project a distance not exceeding two (2) feet, six (6) inches; fire escapes may project a distance not exceeding four (4) feet, six (6) inches; an uncovered stair and necessary landings may project a distance not to exceed six (6) feet, provided such stair and landing shall not extend above the entrance floor of the building; bay window, balconies, open porches and chimneys may project a distance not exceeding three (3) feet; unenclosed decks and patios may project a distance not exceeding five (5) feet and shall not be located in a drainage and utility easement. Other canopies may be permitted by conditional use permit." C. Porches that encroach into the required front yard and which were in existence on February 19, 1987, may be enclosed or completely rebuilt in the same location provided that any porch that is to be completely rebuilt must have at least a ten-foot minimum front yard. Staff researched several home design books. Homes we selected incorporate porches in their design. It can be assumed that the front yard setback on all those homes was 30 feet, which is the required setback in the zoning ordinance. We then attempted to add the porch to the front elevation and see if the majority of these designs can be accommodated in Chanhassen. We also tried to examine the aesthetics of having a projecting porch face a street. We assumed that these homes were placed on a 15,000 square foot lot or maybe on a lot that is part of a PUD that has a reduced area. A builder will attempt to maximize the square footage of a home by pushing the home as close as possible to the 30 foot front yard setback, place the home, then maximize the size of the rear yard where most outdoors activities in Chanhassen take place. The attached designs number 1 - 7, are designs that are permitted under the current front porch standard. The common theme between these designs is that the location of the porch does not extend beyond the front elevation of the house. Designs 8 - 20, would exceed the allowed 3 foot front yard encroachment. All these porches are unenclosed, project up to 10 feet beyond the house front elevation, and tend to define the front entrance of the home. These designs tend to give the impression that the garage is pushed to the back and hidden from views, allowing a passer by to focus on the livable space of the structure. We need to point out that designs 8 - 18 do not extend beyond the first level where an entry is located. Designs 19 and 20, still meet the definition of a porch,however,design 19 extends up to the second floor,while design 20 contain a porch as well as a balcony. They are both open structures. All these designs can be considered attractive,however, as stated earlier, some of these designs are not permitted under current ordinances. The main concern with allowing such projections deals with the size of the porch and the possibility of additional living space closer to the street. If the Planning Commission July 18, 1997 Page 3 porch extends along the entire length of the front facade, it will be very tempting to enclose it to make the space more livable by adding screens or enclosing. Design #11 has a porch that extends in front of a kitchen. This space could be enclosed and used as a breakfast area. We believe that such uses should not extend into a required front yard setback. Rather than creating a setting that would encourage a flood of variances to enclose porches within a front yard setback,we believe this space should be limited in size allowing for a small seating area, provide an added architectural feature, and define the entrance of the home. Staff has prepared an ordinance amendment that would allow some of the attached designs to be permitted. If the direction was to exclude designs that contain porches extending beyond the first floor, then staff will change the language in the proposed amendment accordingly. Staff is recommending language that permits homes built prior to February 19, 1987 to have a porch/balcony that would encroach into the front yard setback meeting specific criteria (specifically be open and not exceed 15 feet in length and 10 feet in depth). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the following motion: "The Planning Commission recommends the City Council approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment Sec. 20-908. Yard regulations, to read as follows: f. "Homes built prior to February 19, 1987 may have open porches and balconies that project a distance not exceeding ten (10) feet, provided they maintain a minimum front yard setback of 20 feet, and they do not extend farther than six (6) feet on each side of the main entrance or front door of a home. The ten (10) feet shall include the roof line,support columns,and steps." Attachments 1. Home Designs that include porches. 2. Front elevation design of the variance which prompted this ordinance amendment. _ ;..z� . ... ,..oma. .. . i• ^.

I . - _ CHANHASSEN PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING JUNE 18, 1997 Chairman Peterson called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Craig Peterson, LuAnn Sidney, Bob Skubic, Allyson Brooks, Ladd Conrad and Alison Blackowiak MEMBERS ABSENT: Kevin Joyce STAFF PRESENT: Kate Aanenson, Planning Director; Sharmin Al-Jaff, Planner II; and Dave Hempel, Asst. City Engineer COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DISCUSSION-LAND USE. Kate Aanenson presented the staff report on this item. Peterson: Any commissioners wish to offer their respective thoughts? Brooks: I had a question about the agricultural section. It says here the City has a policy of protecting agricultural land from premature development until such time as services are available. I'm not sure I guess from reading this if we are going to actively try and keep some agriculture in Chanhassen or we're just trying to keep it as long as we can. Aanenson: That would be something I guess that we would look for a policy statement from you. Right now the Metropolitan Growth Strategies, we can take all the land in the city into the MUSA and we know what happens to land prices. Unless someone's in an agricultural preserve, what that does and how that does as far as our infrastructure timing. If we have to leapfrog over something. What the cost is to that. The other thing underneath that is we had prior to 1987 we had a lot of large lot subdivisions down by Lake Riley. Hesse Farm. Those large lot subdivisions. And because the topography that some of those areas, it'd be hard to subdivide those in the future. So what we said is that people that have bought into that rural atmosphere, unless the majority of those people petition to have it changed, it would stay that way. We would just leave it exempt from MUSA,just like we did with Timberwood. Left them exempt from MUSA. Unless the majority of them come in and say you know what, the character of our neighborhood, we no longer want the large lots. We want to be provided urban services at that point...Then they could further subdivide. Otherwise what we're saying is that that's going to remain,people can be confident that that, the rural atmosphere that will stay. We wouldn't be more specific in that policy statement. So there's two components. Brooks: Okay, not just the rural lots. I guess I'm curious about the actual, you know farming activity. I think a lot of the, from what I can make out from talking to some of the farmers in just Carver County in general is that they're pretty terrified that their property taxes have gone so far up they can't afford to farm. The taxes alone are driving them out and I think if you look at the Planning Commission Meeting - June 18, 1997 County mission statement, it talks about preserving the heritage of the County and the agricultural feel of the County and all that. That's kind of tough in Chanhassen but I just wasn't getting real good direction. Aanenson: Right, and that's a good point. I think we have to balance what Chanhassen against Carver County and I think the way we've looked at it is,certainly we have properties in this city that are...that's in ag preserve that probably most of that preservation will probably occur outside of the city of Chanhassen. It will probably be more rural. But if there is somebody that wants to be in that, we need to address that to say that might be held...and staging of our urban services might go a different direction so that's a good point. Peterson: In talking about keeping the rural feel and the larger lots you talked about and subdividing. How do you, is that by ordinance? We don't have one now. You kind of mentioned that it would have to be a vote of over 50%. Aanenson: Right. Right now the way it's addressed is under the zoning ordinance it says that area is zoned 2 %2 acres. For example we've had situations occur where sewer and water is available to somebody. So let's say you're in a large lot subdivision. Sewer and water goes past your property. Your neighbor decides I want to be able to have that sewer and water applied to my property. Now I can subdivide but you bought into a larger lot subdivision and you're thinking,this is what I wanted to be surrounded with so we're saying, even though it's in close proximity, the majority of the property owners need to say we want to change and no longer be rural. So it needs to be a majority. I think that's again what people bought into unless it's...changed. Peterson: Right now is that in ordinance or is it just policy? Aanenson: Policy. We've had situations where people have asked to do, and what we've said is the zoning is still a minimum 2 V2 acres. So we've had people that have, if they have 5 acres, they could ask for city sewer and water. Let's say that they don't have an opportunity to put in septic on site but they still have over the minimum. Say one of them is 3 and the other lot is 5 acres. They can still subdivide to get... There are areas that may never be subdivided because of the topography such as Hesse Farms. There's areas in there because of the slopes and the bluff ordinance that even though people live on 10 acres, they couldn't subdivide because they wouldn't...it may be cost prohibitive to run utilities. So they may just always be large lots and that's something we need to identify. Peterson: And that's going to be the balance is talk about the roles for getting more affordable housing and more density than we currently have and yet if you ask the residents, I think the majority of them will say that of the rural type feel, to balance that is going to be the challenge that we all have and where do you set the goals and how much autonomy to act do we as a commission and staff have to balance those needs. Aanenson: I think that's what we looked at too with the Bluff Creek. What you have to realize is that we're already heavily weighted, look at the large lots that we have and just the single 2 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 family. It's already weighted so even though we're getting away from single family detached, because we're so weighted in numbers to large lots, it's going to take quite a few higher densities to bring that average up. What we are saying is that along Bluff Creek for example, when we come back with whatever districting, we're going to come up with an overlay district, there may be more cluster type where we preserve larger areas and provide open space. That kind of...different way. That being sensitive kind of, sustainable type development. It's going to be a challenge but it's worth trying to pursue. Peterson: You asked about getting feedback on MUSA and where it should or shouldn't go and timing of it. Fmean clarify your question a little bit more because. Aanenson: There's a couple different ways to do it. We want to make sure that we've got enough area inside the MUSA that we're not artificially inflating prices. We could look at, we want to make sure we can have so many permits processed. Maybe we want to look at, if we're going to bring in areas, we want to make sure it's balanced. Just not residential but we're also bringing in a balance that need. Maybe it's just a total acreage. We could say we're only going to bring in so many acres. So there's a lot of different ways we can look at that and what we're going to do is try to run some different formulas to see how that works and give you some different approaches to it. What we said from the beginning when we looked at this is we're going to go,bring it in based on where we already provided...so logically the next place to bring it is TH 5 and TH 41. Highway 5 frontage road going in and our infrastructure's in place there. What that timing is, I'm not sure. And then the next area is off of Lyman where we've got the...would be the next logical area. How long that all takes place is something for you to give us direction and the Council to ultimately decide. And as we know, we talked about is what can we handle as far as growth based on our road systems and school district and all those things we need to factor in. Sidney: So you'll be providing us with some scenarios? Aanenson: Yeah. That's why I want you to keep this background data to keep adding to it. Sidney: And the same with densities as well? You mentioned that as another issue that we need to talk about. If you can do a similar type of scenarios. I don't know how that would work in that case but low end, high end densities as zoning is looked at. And then you said definitions of certain uses. I guess could you explain that more to us. Aanenson: Sure. For example, on the comprehensive plan some of these areas here is guided as... What the comprehensive plan is very vague as far as what we talk about. It says high density and also talks about commercial. What specifically do we mean? How much of it should be commercial? How much of it should be high density? What if it all came in commercial? What would that do to the downtown area? What if it all came in high density? There's some other areas we've also guided... Old 212 that we've also said some commercial but we need to give specifics of what we're... How does that relate to the rest of the area and architecturally get into what's happening down there. We want to give you some ideas. 3 Planning Commission Meeting - June 18, 1997 Sidney: Okay, so then you'll have scenarios concerning that as well. That would be great. Peterson: Other comments, questions from commissioners? Sidney: I have one more question about employment figures. Any idea when you would have something at all? Aanenson: Jacqueline Schroeder here is our intern that just started and that's something that she's working on right now so. Bob has been working with Chaska and they're doing that business retention study. So we've got a list from them. We believe...is trying to find the phone number. Hopefully we'll have that in the next month or two. Sidney: Then you need more than just one point. I would think you'd want some past history as well. Aanenson: Yes, we do have that from a couple years ago, yes. We believe those numbers are very low. That's why we're questioning the Met Council's numbers. We want to see where we fit. Peterson: Kate's asking for direction. Now's the time to, before she redrafts it for the 12th time. Aanenson: Sure, or if you want to call me if you've got some ideas or some concerns. Blackowiak: On the land use goals, page 2 near the bottom. It talks about encouraging the development of neighborhood service centers and locating them where they will not impact abutting residential. And it talks a little bit about modifying the goals to make sure that these centers are architecturally compatible. And I would suggest that you consider not only defining specifically what you will allow in a neighborhood business for example, but also what is not compatible in a neighborhood business or in a general business district or however you're defining it. So not only do you define positively and give examples of things that would be included, but also define it in terms of things that would not be included in that type of a district so maybe it would make it clear for people. And then I guess page 3. One quick comment. At the bottom. The development phasing in accordance with the ability of the city to provide services. And I'm just asking from a question I guess, how do we define services? I mean you said city sewer, water and streets. Is there anything else that we need to consider in terms of defining the word services? Aanenson: That's kind of the gray area where we talk about...for demand on services. Park. It gets a little bit more difficult and that's going to be more of a policy decision but we certainly want to apprise you of that information so you can make a decision based on what you believe some of the service demands may be. We think the most significant ones are certainly sewer and water and streets. Whether or not...services but certainly it's going to have an impact on the school district. Impact on the parks. 4 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 Blackowiak: And also I was just thinking that last time we had seen, needing a grading of those services from A through F scale. Aanenson: Right, that's what I'm talking about. Blackowiak: So I mean maybe something like that. I realize it's always objective but if you could give us an idea of whether we're getting good service or mediocre service or poor service. Aanenson: That's something we'll certainly talk about in the transportation component. We're working with Carver County in the transportation element and I think what we'll be giving you is, if it doesn't meet a certain service level... Right now Highway 5, we know what level that's at. Maybe saying we can't expand it until that...and we have to look at the ripple effect of what Chaska and Victoria is doing. How it still impacts us. Whether or not we... That's why we're working on it as a County. Peterson: Other comments. Conrad: Yeah, I have a couple comments. One thing that I think is really missing here is what we do but it's not in the goals and I think it's preserving the natural habitat, or what we have. And it's real fundamental and we've been, as a commission and as a Council we're just done that very well but it's not here. And that,philosophically that sort of drives what I, I like to stay out of the developer's way but before the developer comes in, I'd like to say you can't touch this. You can't do that. So that's a glaring absence. It's covered in other chapters in our comprehensive plan but in terms of our land use goals, it has to be there. It's hard to come up with a sense of Chanhassen when you go through these goals. It's real interesting to figure out the sense and who are you and it's real important to have 4 or 5 goals that just say, that's us. Which leads me to my second point Kate, and I think there's some things that are common sense in here. Put them in if you like. It waters down the impact. If it tells you how to operate government, then you should keep them in. But it seems very much common sense from a planning standpoint to me. We will not develop before development should happen. You know I'm being cute but there are 3 or 4 goals in there. If that helps, keep them in. But from a citizen standpoint it doesn't help me at all. It's really, there's no other, every other community will say the same thing. I'm looking for things that tell me who Chanhassen is and the direction we want to go. So again, I'll let you figure that out but. Another thing that's missing I think is another thing we're doing and maybe that's just,maybe we don't need a goal for it but it's talking about our mixed use project, and maybe we have others. Do we care to have others? Is this just a stand alone? Do we have no other areas? I think we like the mixed use concept of Village on the Ponds. What do we do with it or just do we say, well it's done. Aanenson: Good point Ladd because we had, when we originally...a couple of other opportunities we thought that that could be applied. Conrad: If we like it we should say it. If we don't care, we cut it. Two other points I think. The financial thing, and this is, I tell you. I keep talking about this. This is our last cut at you know, this comprehensive plan sort of says how we're going to develop and I really want to force the 5 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 issue. Do we have enough in industrial and commercial to balance the residential that's coming in? It's going to be a cheaper residential and I've just got to challenge staff to tell us that this is the mix. And I think I've said that, I've asked Mark Koegler and it's tough, but this is it. Brooks: But do we have any infrastructure to support industrial? That's the part that I find difficult is that we don't have the roads and we don't have light rail to move the people and the transit service, I don't know how well that's used by people in Chanhassen. We can't have more industrial if we don't have the roads to move anybody or things anywhere. Conrad: Then don't allow residential. Brooks: Well something's got to give, I agree with you, unless everyone agrees... Conrad: The number one in Chanhassen is taxes. And this is our allocation of land to balance the tax burden. And traffic, I agree with you Allyson. Transportation is a big deal. Brooks: We won't have industrial if we...industrial can't get their stuff out. Conrad: But if you don't allocate it now, you'll never get it. That's my only point. If you care about balancing the tax burden and putting on industrial/commercial, we have to be real confident that we've allocated it properly. And I don't know where that comment goes but this is it folks. I agree with what Allyson's comment is. I don't think we have a philosophy here of preserving ag forever. It's not. It is don't let it develop prematurely. That's it so make sure that's, well that's my perspective. Make sure we're clear on what that says. It is, we're not preserving agricultural. We are going to be maxed out at 35,000 population, or whatever the number is and there won't be any agricultural there and that's what I assume is happening. Now that's my philosophy but that's just the way it's going to be based on what we've done. So the goal is not to preserve ag. It's just not to let it develop before it should. Peterson: Other comments? Brooks: I have a question. Who won the election? Do we have more parks, or not more parks? Yes, we have more parks. Great. Peterson: Other questions and comments of Kate? My final comment was really kind of tying onto Ladd's. Over the last couple of years it seems that we've been asked more for rezoning and that ties into the fact that what is the impact. I mean we all have a difficult time assessing the impact of rezoning. Whether it's the various types. What is the impact of, the fiscal impact. We're kind of guessing. We never really have had a model and...integrated into this. That may be totally aside from the land use aspect of it but as we make decisions it'd be nice to have that in front of us in some kind of an easy model saying if we do rezone this, is it going to have this kind of an impact. Nice job so far. 6 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR REZONING OF 48.99 ACRES FROM RURAL RESIDENTIAL TO RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY AND PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL TO SUBDIVIDE 48.99 ACRES INTO 54 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND 1 OUTLOT., LOCATED NORTH OF HWY. 5 ON THE EAST SIDE OF HWY. 41, (HAZELTINE BLVD.), SOUTH OF LAKE LUCY ROAD,JEROME CARLSON, HIGHOVER ADDITION. Public Present: Name Address Paul Youngquist 7105 Hazeltine Boulevard Larry Constantino 2340 Lake Lucy Road Sharmin Al-Jaff presented the staff report on this item. Hempel: Mr. Chairman, if I could interject too. We did modify two other conditions. Condition number 12 as a result of discussions with the applicant's engineer. Also condition number 20 was modified as well. Peterson: Questions of staff. Brooks: Dave, I have a quick question. There is some formula, how many trips is it per home that it is calculated per day? Hempel: Generally a single family residential lot will generate 8 to 10 trips per day. Brooks: To 10 trips per day. Skubic: The tree preservation. Is it possible that all the trees could be taken off...as long as they replace it the 1.2 to 1 ratio or...? I know they're... Aanenson: They cannot clear cut the site. That's city ordinance right now. Peterson: Does that mean they can leave one tree? Al-Jaff: Actually when we worked with the applicant, we've had several meetings with the applicant. Originally, right from the beginning they were proposing to custom grade the lots. Staff wanted to see worst case scenario as far as grading. We didn't want to sit with the applicant each building permit and negotiate how the trees are going to... We wanted some standard established and then... The intent of the applicant is to custom grade the lots so it's really for benefit of staff. What could potentially happen... Peterson: Other questions of staff? 7 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 Blackowiak: I have one question. Page 10. Park dedication. Could you talk a little bit about why there are no park dedication fees, or just explain this a little bit more. Aanenson: Condition 4(a) does require park and trail dedication...on page 16. Blackowiak: They're paying trail fees then and there will no nothing further in the lot is that correct? Or in the development. Aanenson: They will be paying park and trail fees. Blackowiak: They will be, okay. Normally there's a dollar amount or something that we see. Aanenson: Well it just says per city ordinance. Blackowiak: Okay. Aanenson: We've tried to move from that because it changes. Peterson: Other questions of staff. Sharmin, I've just got an informational type question more than anything else. On Block 3, Lot 13, there's a substantially different width on the entrance of the lot going down to 35 feet. Do we have a minimum on ordinance for the, on the entrance to a lot or not? Al-Jaff: Yes we do. A lot...does not specify how narrow it can be. We have approved... Peterson: We weren't obviously...in this case but that one was noticeably narrower than the other ones so. Other questions. Would the applicant or their designee wish to address the Commission? If so, please come forward and state your name and address. Donald Peterson: My name is Donald Peterson. I am the project coordinator for E. Jerome Carlson, who is the owner of the land. I'm a registered civil engineer and I've been doing development for, since 1980. Basically on a fee basis for individual homeowners or landowners or for my own development company. This particular project I'm working on as a coordinator for Mr. Carlson. I have with me here Dwight Jelle who is the principle engineer at Westwood Planning and Engineer who we've hired to do the detailed engineering work on the project. We had done, actually hired a planner and two other engineering firms. Mr. Carlson had before I was involved with the project. We looked at those plans. I reviewed them with Mr. Carlson. We made many changes in them. We actually came up with three different proposals before we ever submitted this to the city planning staff. Since that time we've worked very closely with Sharmin and the rest of the staff to try to work out a plan that incorporates what we'd like to do. And as well as take care of the city needs. We've revised the entire street plan on the south end of the project from what we originally presented because of some concerns that the staff had, the engineering staff had regarding the future development to the south of us. So we worked very closely with the staff. I'd like to just state that Mr. Carlson's primary concern with his property 8 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 is to be able to develop the land but preserve as much of the character as he can. So our lots are quite large. There's going to be quite a variety in price from the low to the end. We haven't determined all the numbers on that yet but the lots are large. We tried, we moved the roads to work with the land to provide grading that blends with the land and try to eliminate tree removal. And some of the recommendations refer to tree removal. We do agree to a tree removal limit being established. We think that's certainly well worth while. It's just a matter of what that tree removal limit, how long that lasts and what it encumbers we have to work out with the staff prior to the Council meeting. But we do agree with these recommendations that were added, that were changed tonight. One of the things that we had done was we submitted a 28 foot street back to back but I've had conversations with Dave Hempel and he's informed us that they do not go along with that recommendation and he wants the street to be 31 feet back to back of curb and we have discussed that this afternoon and agree to that. One of the things that Mr. Carlson was very interested in, in creating some type of pedestrian movement in the project so therefore we have not only provided a sod pedestrian trail along the east side of the property to serve all the homeowners in this area,but also to make a connection for homeowners to the south to be able to walk down to Minnewashta Park. Hopefully someday there will be an underpass underneath TH 41. We will provide whatever easements are necessary to get to that underpass. At this point in time it has been no determination by the City where that will be but if the City can determine if there will be one or request easements, we'll provide those. Right now we're running our path and a sidewalk down to the trail that's on Lake Lucy Road. And we're going to provide a connection at our intersection of Lake Lucy Road and Highover Drive so that the children and the homeowners can walk across the street at that location, at an intersection to get on the Lake Lucy path to run up to the school. We also volunteered, on our own, to provide a sidewalk on Highover Drive. 5 foot concrete sidewalk so that all of the homes have access to some kind of pedestrian movement. We also will be working with the planning staff to incorporate some neighborhood facilities in there. We feel that it will probably be 3 or 4 gang mailboxes because the post office department will want mailboxes on one side of the street and not on both. So we'll have gang mailboxes arid we're going to be working with the staff to try to work out some type of boulevard or property line landscaping which might be some park benches or benches along this area so people can come out from their home at night,pick up their mail and visit with their neighbors. The whole idea is to make a neighborhood, not just a project. We've revised the south end of the project to meet what the request of the city and we're willing to work with the homeowners to the south to incorporate an alignment that works best with their property. We've provided this road where we think it should be. There is some flexibility. Not a great deal of flexibility at that location. We've tried to provide a location which would serve the property to the south, but we really don't control what happens there. Highover Court South used to be a through street going to the south through to the Youngsted property. The City requested to change that because we were going through a heavily wooded area there and the property to our south is also fairly steep so that was revised and we eliminated that connection from what we originally submitted. I don't really have anything more to say other than we're going to strive to reduce the grading as much as possible. We've provided a plan which we're showing you is the absolute worst case scenario. We'll be working with the city staff. My understanding's in Chanhassen, before we get final plat approval we have our construction plans done and during that time we will be working to revise grades as much as possible to minimize grading. And as Sharmin mentioned, we're going to try to provide as many custom lots as we can so that we can 9 Planning Commission Meeting - June 18, 1997 try to save trees in those areas. Granted there may be some trees that we save that might someday die but our experience is that a lot of the trees that we strive to save remain. Some of them will die. But this is an area that, and there's trees that are worth saving in that area. That's about all I have to say. We do have, Mr. Carlson has provided an easement for a pond south of Lake Lucy Road. When Lake Lucy Road was constructed and initially we didn't provide an additional pond to that but the staff recommend we provide a sedimentation pond prior to the water from our project going into that. A plan that was built when Lake Lucy Road was constructed and we've incorporated that into our plan. With that I'd like to just answer any questions that you might have. Peterson: Thank you. Any questions for the applicant? Thank you. This item is open for a public hearing. Could I have a motion and a second to open it to the same please. Conrad moved, Sidney seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened. Peterson: This is a public hearing so if you wish to address the commissioners, please come forward and state your name and address please. Paul Youngquist: Hello. My name is Paul Youngquist, 7105 Hazeltine Boulevard. 1 apologize. I'm out of town an awful lot and I haven't been able to come in and sit with you so I basically have just a couple questions for staff. Sewer and water, utilities. What is the plan for those? Hempel: Mr. Chairman, sewer and water will be extended through this site from Lake Lucy Road south. There is a grade break where the sewer can service the property. Maybe I can show on the overhead. The staff report made reference to five lots that are on the low side that would have to be serviced...lift station to service these five lots. The high point of the property is... The area to the south is designated to be served by sanitary sewer... Watermain will be...as well as a loop... Mr. Youngquist's property lies south between this development and the Lundgren development... Paul Youngquist: Is that a NURP pond or what is that? Hempel: The developer is required to provide pre-treatment for water quality and water quantity before leaving the subdivision. The City Surface Water Management Plan proposes a regional stormwater collection pond to be down in this area here in the future. At that time, as the property develops...construction, this pond will be eliminated and incorporated into... Paul Youngquist: Thank you. Peterson: Thank you. Larry Constantino: My name is Larry Constantino and I live at 2340 Lake Lucy Road. I guess I'm the only resident in that area right now and I had a couple of questions. First of all I'm very supportive of development of this type. I think it will lend a lot to the neighborhood and 10 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 development of that area of Chanhassen. I do have a concern however in reviewing the plan that the access point onto Lake Lucy Road comes at a point on a hill and a curve on Lake Lucy Road, which may be a potential hazard in the future. And I'm sure that the staff has reviewed that but I'd like to go on record as questioning whether it is in compliance with whatever standards are necessary for that area. Peterson: Comments to that Dave. Hempel: Mr. Chairman, we will look at that with the final construction plans when the final grade for the street has been determined. Right now these are preliminary plans. The location where it does access Lake Lucy Road from a sight line is on the outside part of the curve which would give you good sight lines east and west. The gray part, where there's a hill there, that will be taken into account to make sure that there is adequate sight distance for the speed that the street is posted for. Larry Constantino: Okay, along this same line I have a follow-up question then. What provisions, if any are being at this time for a crosswalk to cross Lake Lucy Road from this development to join up with the Lake Lucy path? And what efforts will be taken to control the speed of vehicles on Lake Lucy Road, which today seems to be excessive. Because it is kind of a rural area. Hempel: Chairman, Planning Commissioners. There is a crosswalk proposed across Lake Lucy Road at the intersection of Highover Drive. Speed. The street I believe is posted at 30 mph, Lake Lucy Road, as well as Highover Drive. Lake Lucy Road is a city collector road. As far as speed goes, that does become an enforcement issue. You can put sign after sign after sign but still drivers that will drive wherever they're comfortable with so it does become an enforcement issue. Right now Lake Lucy Road is a dead end street and it's limited to a number of homes which I believe are less than 6 up in that area right now. Larry Constantino: Yeah, but the plans are for that to go through probably in the next year or so. Hempel: That's correct. Larry Constantino: So again, I'd like to go on record as expressing concern about the plan, the way that it's laid out right now could create a potential hazard in the future. Peterson: Thank you. Larry Constantino: Thank you. Peterson: Anyone else wish to address the commissioners? Seeing none, may I have a motion to close the public hearing and a second please. Skubic moved, Sidney seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. 11 Planning Commission Meeting - June 18, 1997 Peterson: Before I go around I've just got one last question. What's our current either ordinance or policy on landscaping of the islands and the cul-de-sac? Hempel: I'm not sure if we have an ordinance yet. We do have a policy of requiring the homeowners association to maintain those landscaped islands. If not, the city reserves the right to eliminate or remove those islands if we do have to start a maintenance. From a snowplowing standpoint, I'm told that it's actually easier to snowplow those cul-de-sacs with the islands. The circles when they're done versus the back-up, go forward, back-up, go forward so we've actually felt very comfortable with them. The landscape islands that are out there in some of the Lundgren neighborhoods look very nice and are functioning well. Peterson: Are you concerned about the height and the height of the landscape material, i.e. safety? Hempel: Not really. The site, as you come into the cul-de-sac, the island I believe is 12 foot radius or 24 feet wide and the pavement section out there is actually about 46 feet wide to the back of curb so there's a pretty good sight lines around the cul-de-sac. Of course the speeds in there would be relatively slow. Peterson: Thanks. Skubic: One more question of Dave regarding the crosswalk. What constitutes a crosswalk? Does that include a stop sign? Hempel: No. There are other traffic control signs and striping of the pavement that's required at a crosswalk. Crosswalks generally are at intersections instead of mid-block. Brooks: Is it possible to combine a speed bump with the crosswalks? Hempel: No. Speed bumps create havoc on snowplows during the wintertime. I'm trying to think of other crossings in town that we have. We have one in front of St. Hubert's school there on West 78th Street... Again, it's a traffic control and signage issue. Skubic: Thank you Dave. Peterson: Comments from commissioners. Alison. Blackowiak: Overall it seems like a well thought out plan. It seems to take into account the varying topography on the site. My major concern would be that efforts be made to save significant trees where possible. And if as in recommendation 1, talking about either an easement or removal limits, I would personally favor some type of an easement. Tree easement to...just taking them out after the homeowner moves in because once the homeowner moves in, if there's no easement, it appears that they kind of do what they please. ...it seems to be such a significant area for large trees and hardwoods, I would hope that the developer could work with the City to do whatever's possible to save as many of the significant trees as possible. 12 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 Peterson: Allyson. Brooks: Well I don't have a lot of comments but mostly I would say, I just agree with Alison. That it would be nice to have an easement to save as many trees as possible. Other than that I really don't have a lot of other comments. Peterson: Conrad. Commissioner Conrad I should say. Conrad: It looks fine to me. Just one quick question. Do we have a trail running along Highway 41? The other side? Aanenson: It's a proposed trail. Conrad: The other side? Aanenson: Unless we you want to get one... Conrad: We don't need one on this side then for sure, right? Aanenson: We want to get to the... Conrad: But there's a trail running north and south on TH 41 on the other side. Aanenson: Proposed. Conrad: Proposed, okay. Other than that, it looks good to me. I like the sidewalks in there. I like the things that the developer has done very much so no more comments. Peterson: Bob. Skubic: I agree with Alison regarding the tree preservation easement. There's a number of trees coming out of there, it's inevitable that you're going to build the property. And I think staff and the applicant are taking appropriate measures to try to minimize those. I've seen instances where there have not been easements or very good easements, I've seen easements that have...west short of Lake Susan for example. And I'd like to see us do whatever we can to preserve what is...so I certainly support a tree easement over a tree removal plan. Other than that I agree with what staff has prepared here. Peterson: LuAnn. Sidney: I don't have any major concerns except the tree removal issue. I'd like to see the applicant work with staff to save as many of the significant trees as possible. I think the development has a lot of very nice elements. I think it's well laid out and I guess I have no further comments. 13 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 Peterson: I don't have many other than I agree with one of the residents that was addressing us tonight regarding the access to Lake Lucy. In driving that area, where it is now it's hard to tell with the grading but it clearly is, if the grading doesn't change significantly it does have some sight lines that are pretty restrictive. And I too agree on trees. But I'm very pleased with staff. This is a very large undertaking and really they've worked well with the applicant to present us with a good plan. You've heard very few negative comments on so... With that, may I have a motion and a second please. Brooks: I move the Planning Commission recommends approval of the preliminary plat for Subdivision#97-1 for Highover Addition for 55 lots and one outlot as shown on the plans received June 6, 1997, subject to conditions 1 through 28. Conrad: Second. Peterson: Discussion. Brooks moved, Conrad seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the preliminary plat for Subdivision #97-1 for Highover Addition for 55 lots and one outlot as shown on the plans received June 6, 1997, subject to the following conditions: 1. Submit tree survey showing all trees 30 inches and larger with overlay of proposed development and grading. Establish tree preservation easements or tree removal limits on appropriate lots.

ADDITION TO AN EXISTING BUILDING, STATE BANK OF CHANHASSEN ON PROPERTY ZONED CBD, CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, AND LOCATED AT 600 WEST 78TH STREET, HTG ARCHITECTS. Sharmin Al-Jaff presented the staff report on this item. Peterson: Questions for staff. Brooks: How many parking spaces? Al-Jaff: Required? All together required, 98. They are providing 71... The 27 will be provided off site. Peterson: More questions? Brooks: Could I just take this thought one step further? For the size of the building you're required so much, but do you think that bank really needs that many parking spaces? Aanenson: Another option which the code would allow which is proof of parking demand and the mix of uses. If they would come in to and demonstrate to us the mix of uses. Similar thing we did with the hotel. They came in. We asked them to demonstrate the hours and demand. That is the reason why that condition was... The reason this whole issue got struck was when the City was looking at expanding City Hall. It was...the parking lot would be built in the City Hall and the Council Chambers would have been... We believe the mix of use would have worked then because the demand for this space would have been at night when you're having a Council meeting, and not necessarily during the day when the bank has use of spaces. That was the original intent. But you're right, maybe they don't need that 27 spaces but ordinance does say they need to demonstrate that and we need to look at that to make sure that we're not approving a use that can't meet what they need. They have to somehow demonstrate to the City, or we have to do, we're obligated to provide the spaces. Demonstrate that those spaces aren't needed. Brooks: I'd just hate to see us building parking spaces that are unnecessary. Aanenson: Agreed, and that's something I think that we're going to... Brooks: Thank you. Peterson: Other questions? The only question I had Sharmin is, prior to the applicant coming up. They may address this but reading it I assume that the style and textures of the new addition are virtually identical to the existing? Al-Jaff: It carries through basically the same style. 18 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 Peterson: Basically is being defined as. Aanenson: The same color brick. Peterson: So I can see is the same but materials and colors are the same. Any questions? Would the applicant like to address the Planning Commission? If so,please come forward. Jeff Pflipsen: Mr. Chair, members of the Commission and staff. My name is Jeff Pflipsen. I'm with HTG Architects. Our address is 7401 Metro Boulevard, Edina. We, all the items in the staffs report we agree with. We don't have any real issues. I won't hit all of them but there's a couple of them that I'd like to address at this time. The first one regarding the trees. Five additional trees is not a problem. We have, in the report it says we had to remove a few trees and if we can do it we may want to try to relocate them but some of them are pretty big and we've been told that if you try to dig those out, the odds are they're probably not going to last. But either way we'll either relocate some of the trees or add the trees back so the 5 trees is really not a problem. I do have a photo here. Sharmin asked that if I wanted to bring a photo just to show you the materials but we will, everything on the exterior of the building will match. The new building, the addition will match the existing. Even the, right now you have two big...or steel columns at the entry. Basically that's going to push over to the west side at the new entrance so that the materials will be the same. Another item in the staff report was, they asked about the stormwater calcs, 10 years and 24 hour storm event. I thought I had submitted one but I have an additional one here if you need that. I apologize. I thought there was one in the report or the package we gave you but. One other item I did want to address is that Sharmin and I had discussions in the last week or so about some of these items on the list of the report. And one was in regards to the existing 4 inch watermain coming into the building and because we are sprinkling the entire building, that we got some conflicting information. Our mechanical engineer had spoke with, I believe it was the Fire Marshal and addressed that issue and the Fire Marshal stated that the 4 inch watermain would be acceptable. And then when I talked with Sharmin she spoke with someone else but I'm under the impression as of today, from what my engineer told me, that the 4 inch watermain is sufficient. Is that correct? Is that how it stands? ...and from my impression was when our engineer talked with the Fire Marshal, then they went and talked with the Building Official and it was agreed upon that it would be okay and so I just wanted to make note of that here. An item noted in the report. It says to show a trash enclosure. The current building has one and it is enclosed in a brick area so we're just going to reuse that existing one. The other items are all fine. We would be happy to talk about the parking at this stage. I do have Mr. Kevin McShane. He's the President of the Bank with me tonight and he is more familiar with the 1995 agreement with the City, if we want to get into that discussion. The bank currently has just 30 employees. Just, they have 30 employees and our thought was that parking, the employees would park on the northwest or northeast side of the site and leave the parking along the west for customers. The lower level of the building, the addition is basically unfinished space. We have a mechanical room. We have a storage room and at this stage we really don't have any intent. There was a thought to potentially lease it out but there, who wants to go down into the basement to lease but there is a potential for that. The second level has a potential. That is designed for tenants and with the design of the second level I believe there's roughly 2,500 to 3,000 square feet so if you put that into how many people would actually fit into 19 Planning Commission Meeting - June 18, 1997 a space like this, I correlate to our firm. We have 11, or we have 12 employees in our firm and we're in a space roughly 2,500 square feet. So if you start saying there's 30 employees, say 15 people would lease, be on the second level. Now you're up to 45 people. Say they even leased some of the basement. Add another 10 so I think you could start to say that if we get up to 50 employees, then you have spare, another 21 parking stalls for customers coming in and out of the bank. And so we can, I guess we can talk about the rationale of 71 probably is sufficient but we also think, agree with Sharmin that...potentially using some of the post office. Developing that area and/or like in the 1995 document, there were some drawings showing when the existing, the old bank building across Market Boulevard would be removed. That parking could occur over there. So any questions? Conrad: Did you even consider building the bank towards West 78`h? Jeff Pflipsen: That was a thought but our concern is in regards to where people have to go through it. Now functionally from inside the bank where you have your teller line, your employees, your officers and your offices, it functions better on the west side so yes we did address that. And then our other worry with that was now, we put that over there. There's no place for parking so now all the parking is on the far side of the site away from it so we felt that was a concern. Peterson: Questions? Thank you. This item is also open for a public hearing. May I have a motion to open that to the same and a second please. Blackowiak moved, Conrad seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened. Peterson: Thank you. This is a public hearing. If you wish to address the commissioners this evening, please come forward and state your name and address please. Seeing none, may I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. Brooks moved, Blackowiak seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Peterson: Comments from commissioners. Sidney: Well I guess I don't have any concerns except parking at this point and I actually kind of have a question for staff at this point about what happens during construction. Where do people park? So I guess I would like to see that issue resolved as quickly as possible and I guess my vote would be for using the post office space if possible if the timing is right. But other than that I guess I don't have anything else. Peterson: Bob. Skubic: I don't have any. 20 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 Peterson: Ladd. Conrad: Yeah I like it. I wish Kevin would have put the drive through on the north side many years ago Kevin. Why didn't you do that? Kevin McShane: I wasn't here. Conrad: I know you weren't but that's too bad that we don't have the opportunity to push the building forward. I think the addition will give the bank better presence. I like it. I think it's just, I like that. I'm not worried about parking at all. They'll solve that. That's solvable. Peterson: Allyson. Brooks: I don't really have any comments. Just to say that I, you know am concerned that we don't over build the parking spaces and I'd rather see more landscape than parking but, keep that in mind. Peterson: Alison. Blackowiak: No comments. Peterson: Nor do I. It's a nice job also. With that, may I have a motion and a second please. Skubic: I'll move that the Planning Commission recommend approval for Site Plan#97-7 as shown on the site plan dated Received May 16, 1997, subject to conditions 1 through 16 as outlined by staff. Conrad: Second. Peterson: Any discussion? Skubic moved, Conrad seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan Review #97-7 as shown on the site plan dated received May 16, 1997, subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant needs to prepare an erosion control plan in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook and be submitted for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. 2. The site plan shall be revised to include water and sewer service to the new addition and extension of the storm sewer lines to convey storm water runoff from the northwesterly portion of the parking lot and eliminate the existing concrete spillway onto Market Boulevard. 3. All drive aisle widths shall be 24 feet wide per City Ordinance. 21 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 4.

FT. MULTI-TENANT BUILDING WITH THE MAJOR TENANT BEING VIDEO UPDATE ON PROPERTY ZONED BN, NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT AND LOCATED ON LOT 1, BLOCK 1, SEVEN AND FORTY-ONE CROSSING, SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF HIGHWAY 7 AND 41, R& A RETAIL CENTER, MARK A. DAVIS AND ASSOCIATES. Public Present: Name Address Mark Davis 2333 Sheridan Terrace, Wayzata, MN 55391 Richard Heise 188 View Road, Mahtomedi, MN 55115 Roger Gordon 6508 Parkwood Road, Edina, MN 55436 Jennifer Greene, Welsh Companies Inc. 8200 Normandale Blvd, #200, Mpls, MN 55437 Brian Pellowski, PBK Investments 5500 Wayzata Blvd, Golden Valley, MN 55416 Sharmin Al-Jaff presented the staff report on this item. Peterson: Questions of staff. Conrad: Yeah. Do you have a bigger, I see the site plan. I'd like to see the context that it fits into and I didn't see that. Was it in our, I didn't see it. That's it. Yeah. That's not. I'd like to see how it fits in the shopping center and the traffic flow. Al-Jaff: I will go get it. Peterson: Other questions that Kate may be able to answer. Other questions of staff. Maybe one for Sharmin too Kate but, as I look at the west elevation. Primarily the west at least and it's what we consider the back of the building. There's a large area without a lot going on that's pretty high visibility. A look at the landscaping plan and I'm trying to balance what's in the landscaping plan versus this huge brick wall that people are going to see. Predominantly, I assume the west elevation would really be seen coming from the west on Highway 7, right? 23 Planning Commission Meeting - June 18, 1997 Aanenson: Right. And also there was a condition increasing the parking lot landscaping too. It did...some of that. Peterson: That wouldn't be in the west side though would it? It goes back to the Kinko building. That one keeps rearing it's ugly head again but we didn't do a good job on that. Aanenson: Right. And I think that can be addressed by putting additional landscaping just off on that side. Peterson: From an architectural standpoint, maybe I'll let the applicant discuss that because I haven't got a good feel for what the upper area of the building and what that is and how it's going to make the rest of the building feel. Whether it's cold or not. Hempel: Mr. Chairman, maybe I could just interject. The westerly portion of the building does have a large berm as you go up that is pretty heavily vegetated. They are proposing to cut in the northwest corner of that berm to fit the building and disturb the vegetation there but there's a pretty significant hill there on the westerly side. Peterson: How much of the building would you be able to see from TH 7? Just guess. Hempel: Just probably the northwesterly corner of the building back probably half of the building. Peterson: Good, that's helpful. Conrad: So the TH 7 traffic is coming in where? It's coming at the SuperAmerica site. Okay. Hempel: A one way. Aanenson: Back out onto TH 41. This was the concern you were talking about...back side? Peterson: Well on the west side too. Right there, and then Dave said there's the berm. Ladd, does that give you the right feel? Conrad: So Dave the parking comes in, the traffic comes in from TH 7 and swings, it goes south between the two sites. And then we swing west and then north... Aanenson: You go westbound on TH 7. Peterson: East or westbound? Both. Hempel: Yeah, get back onto Highway 7 at that north drive aisle is a one way. 24 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 Conrad: What kind of structure for the exiting do we have? We're kind of going through the parking lot. I've actually gone into there. I've been there but I didn't, is it a typical parking lot that you're driving through? Does it have any kind of curbing? Hempel: It does have curbing around the perimeter of the drive aisles in the parking lot itself. I do not believe there is any islands in the existing parking lot installed to protect the turning movements through there. Conrad: This is the way SuperAmerica traffic exits. Aanenson: Yeah. You slip in and then you come back out onto TH 41. Conrad: And why did we let that happen again? Hempel: I believe the State had some play in that. Peterson: I'd be willing to bet you that 5% of the traffic that makes that first turn is thinking they're going on TH 41 like I've done about a half a dozen times. It's good for the businesses because well I'm here. I might as well stop and get something, you know. Other questions'? Would the applicant or their designee like to address the Planning Commission? If so, please come forward please. Richard Heise: My name is Richard Heise and I'm President of HRMA, a St. Paul based architectural firm. I live at 188 View Road, Mahtomedi, Minnesota. And the presentation this evening, my portion of the presentation is going to be quite simple. You're familiar with the site plan I think so I think what I'd really like to speak about is the exterior of the building. The exterior of the building is designed in such a way that it allows future changes to the building. I think that that's very important that when we first were approached by Video Update, we had been given a prototypical building and the prototypical building had fins and horns and all kinds of things to it and through discussions with the client we came back to a relatively classical building. And when I say that, what you see in front of you is a building that has a protruding area in the front centered on the building. It also has some very, very nice brick detailing to it. The upper portion of the building has soldier courses. As you come down the side band there's an additional soldier course above the sign band. And then the windows are held in place with a painted steel beam. Now this is very similar to the existing building that's on the site that are firm also designed. We're proposing the same face brick that was done on the existing building. We're also, instead of using painted split face rock, using painted split face concrete block. Boy, that's a lot of words there. We are proposing using a decorative rock face block and as was indicated in the staff report,basically one, I'm trying to give you some sort of a percentage. I'd say 35-40% of the building is clad and face brick. Where the windows exist. Around the corners we have the decorative block and brick banding. We're proposing and endicote brick which is a very fine face brick. It has steel spots to it. It's a dark burgundy in color. Natural grout and we would be using black window trim so it's very understated and the sides of the building then and the rear of the building would be in a natural rock face block. All of it would be done in a natural mortar so there's a contrast. If this doesn't fall down. The lower left hand corner would be the 25 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 companion colored rock face block with the endicote brick and we would use natural mortar so the endicote brick looked more defined. Also as per staff request what we've done is we've created pilasters on the building, or little bump outs at each corner which give a shade and shadow kind of relief to what could be a very severe looking building if it didn't have it. So if you could follow my fingers I'll show you where these little protrusions are which give it a nice sense of relief. Here...and here. So as you walk around the building it doesn't have the appearance of just being a concrete block building. It's held in place with four corners that are protruding out 4 inches. And we're screening all the mechanical equipment. And we have, as you've seen, a fairly significant planting plan. The other thing, we agree with the majority of the comments in the report. We would however like to discuss a couple of them, or actually four of them. Five of them in particular. The first one, the 10 foot setback off of Highway 7. We will in fact do a landscape plan and a serpentine type of berm condition and additional plantings to comply with your request. The curbs on the islands in the parking lot where you're requesting island curbs. Because of the size of the parking lot and the snowplowing capabilities, we elected not to curb the islands. It's been our experience in a parking lot of this size that the snowplow, if there are any cars, and there is a terribly difficult time maneuvering around such islands. So that was the reason in which we, certainly not to save money because it's not significant. It was more to do a better job of handling the snow. We will definitely add an additional handicap stall required by the zoning ordinance to have 48 stalls. We're showing 50 so we'll have no difficulty whatsoever getting an additional handicap stall. As far as the trash enclosure is concerned, because of where it's located against the building we have chosen the rock face block in lieu of the face brick simply because the face brick will show up as a dark spot against the natural rock face block and I think that you will see the trash enclosure a lot less if we were to use the rock face block in lieu of the face brick. Not a big issue but that's how we see it architecturally. Otherwise I think I'm going to turn it over to Mark. Peterson: Before you move on you mentioned. Richard Heise: I'm sorry. I should have said do you have any questions. Peterson: Well I got you here anyway. You said not curbing the islands. Are you saying that you're going to get rid of the islands themselves or just not curb them? Richard Heise: No. What we would do is we would have striped islands in lieu of actual islands. If we put landscaped islands out there without curbing, they would, you know they just die so our proposal was based on just the efficiency of basically,because of the size of the parking lot and the fact that snowplowing will be difficult. You know it really becomes the plowers issue, not ours so much but we see them get destroyed so much in the confines of a parking lot of that size. Peterson: Does staff want to comment on that and your perspective on it. Aanenson: It's city ordinance. Sharmin Al-Jaff made a comment that was not picked up by the microphone. 26 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 Richard Heise: Well we said that we'd do it. It's not practical but we'll do it. Any other questions? Thank you. Roger Gordon: Actually I'm going to say a few words if I could. I'm Roger Gordon. Richard Heise: Oh I'm sorry Roger. Roger Gordon: Yeah, that's okay. I'm the attorney for the applicant and we've worked with the applicant on the Video Update lease and most recently we've been working with the applicant on this easement issue on the ingress and egress and I know that's a condition of the approval and I certainly agree with that. As staff has pointed out, that's really an issue between the two landowners to work out and not an issue for the City to get involved with, other than to make sure that before the development starts you have assurances that there is adequate ingress and egress. Obviously we believe we have adequate ingress and egress already by the existing documents that are of record. The adjacent landowner and their attorney don't agree and that's something we simply have to work out between us. The only technical point I would make on the recommendation is, we would like to be able to satisfy that requirement, not necessarily by a recorded easement. It may come another way. We could very well get a court order indicating that we already have ingress and egress, either by an existing document. There are other legal theories that provide ingress and egress in this situation. Obviously the site was subdivided with every intention of the parties at that time to have ingress and egress and the Courts recognize that sort of thing so what, again it's just a technical point. If we could just add in there or such other evidences as acceptable to staff to establish adequate ingress and egress. Thank you. Peterson: Thank you. Mark Davis: Mark Davis, 2333 Sheridan Terrace, Wayzata. I'm the project manager, developer for the project. I think we've kind of gone through it and I'll answer any questions if you have anything further. Peterson: Questions? Mark Davis: Thank you very much. Peterson: This item is open for a public hearing. May I have a motion to do so and a second please. Skubic moved, Sidney seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened. Peterson: This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to address the Council or Planning Commission,please come forward now. Brian Pellowski: I'm Brian Pellowski. My address is 5500 Wayzata Boulevard in Golden Valley. I'm the adjacent owner of the mall. I have a number of real concerns with this project. 27 Planning Commission Meeting - June 18, 1997 One of which, berming the north part only blocks my center more already than it is. Have SuperAmerica on one corner. Now we're going to put a building up there and then you're going to put a 5 foot berm. That will detract from the ability of myself to market the property to perspective tenants as well as taking away the value of the building, which as the City of Chanhassen knows. If the value of the building goes down, I'm going to be appealing for a reduction in taxes. Also on that corner property where the staff eluded to there's a play yard there for the daycare. The daycare is no longer a tenant in the building. That piece of property in the plan is zoned to put in approximately 6,000 square feet of additional retail, office. Whatever we chose. That was in the original plan. The problem with putting a building up there and if I wish to utilize and put a building in that space, the value of that parcel is diminished immensely. Plus it will be choppy all the way through. The other point that is of paramount interest is the amount of extra traffic coming in. I think putting a 9600 plus square feet of space into that area is a real parking issue. It's not only a easement issue. It's a matter of who's going to police the parking. I mean 50 stalls, right now Video Update on Tuesdays. By the way Video Update is currently a tenant in my building. Their lease runs till January of'99. They have a clause in their lease that they can't go dark, which means basically they have to be open and if they wish to go into another spot, they have to maintain both locations. The situation, when they have their Tuesday video sale, their number of cars in there are much more than 30 or 40 cars. We've got, I don't know what the other uses in the space are. There's 6,000 feet plus you know 3,600 feet of additional. No one knows what that tenants are but if it were to be a coffee shop or a bagel shop, which would be considered a restaurant type,you've got more parking problems which means they're going to use my parking lot. Currently I have, in my parking lot I have a 8.24 cars per thousand. And what they're proposing is, if they use the 10 feet they can get 50 cars. If they've got the 25 feet which would make more sense, the number of cars they can get in there is significantly less which means the square footage would have to go down, which impacts their development. I'm in the business of development. I understand it. I've been in it for 17 years. Mr. Gordon alluded to the fact of their thought process on this easement issue. I think for the City to compromise my position and give them an ability to use other issues other than us going through the Court system, puts the City in jeopardy of having a lawsuit. I did not bring my attorney. My attorney has written a letter to the City addressing our concerns and we will proceed on all avenues if their choice is to proceed with the City on that issue. I've made proposals to the applicants to buy the parcel. I've made proposals to give them an easement and on both cases, because their feeling is it wasn't what they wanted, have not responded. My stance at this time is to basically ask the City that this project be tabled until something can be worked out between the parties and do further due diligence into the traffic concerns I have going across my parking onto TH 7 and you know onto TH 41 basically is the only ingress and egress in that parcel. Thank you. Peterson: One question for you. What was your assumption for the property as far as the potential development of it prior to coming forward? Brian Pellowski: I bought the property in 1993 from Park National Bank. The people who owned all three parcels here, they sold the site to SuperAmerica. They kept and developed the site which I purchased, which is the existing center. They happen to be the people who also own 28 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 the outlot that they're proposing to put the Video Update in. I think for them to say that they sold the properties and they don't know what they're doing, I don't think it's a fair assumption. Peterson: Well my question was more direct though is what was your assumption of that outlot at the time that you purchased? Brian Pellowski: Other than it was for sale at $6.00 a square foot. Peterson: But you knew there was the potential of something, something was probably going to go in there. Brian Pellowski: I realized there was potential for something but when I purchased the property my full intent was that if there was something to be developed on that parcel, they would have to come and deal with me from an easement standpoint. And from a cross easement standpoint utilizing my parking as well. Peterson: Thank you. Brian Pellowski: Thanks. Peterson: Anyone else wishing to address the commission? Seeing none,may I have a motion to close the public hearing and a second please. Brooks moved, Skubic seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Peterson: Thank you. Public hearing is now closed. Comments from commissioners. Alison, do you want to take a stab at this one? Blackowiak: Okay. Well I think that there are, I guess maybe three issues that I can really see. First of all it would be the traffic issue. Whether or not the existing or the proposed plan can deal effectively with traffic. It seems that the entrance off of Highway 7 is fairly straight forward. It seems as the exit onto Highway 41 is fairly straight forward. It's just the getting from Point A to Point B that's going to be a problem so I guess I don't feel my job is to resolve that problem but I realize it's there. The second problem potentially I guess is parking. I don't know how many stalls are required of this type of tenant but I'm assuming that it meets city codes and in that respect we have to assume that our codes are adequate and will meet the needs of the tenant. I guess the third issue is really how the owners of the property are going to deal with it and I really don't feel that as a commissioner it's my job to dictate how they have to come to an agreement but I think that they need to come to some sort of an agreement before I would feel comfortable moving forward with this. That's it. Peterson: LuAnn. 29 Planning Commission Meeting - June 18, 1997 Sidney: Well I agree with Alison's comments. I think the traffic issue is a significant issue of this proposed development. Also I guess I'm also concerned with the berming that was suggested along Highway 7, or the landscaping that's adequate if they decide to go with, if the 10 foot setback is what is followed. Also I would hope that that would be followed all the way to the back of the building on the west. That we do get some screening of that space as you go east on Highway 7. For the difficulties with the parties involved I guess I don't have any comments at this point. Peterson: Bob. Skubic: A couple of observations. One regarding the west side of the building...berm there with a... I don't think it gives a very visible vantage point of building. I think it's pretty well...from my perception, what I saw. The other thing, the few times I've been over to this parking lot I've actually found the traffic flow quite good. I thought the drive lanes were pretty well laid out and it was easy to navigate. Much easier than Market Square. At this point what happens with the other, whether it's building in there it's hard to say. I haven't heard a good rationale for what's going to happen to the traffic and what the traffic's going to be appropriate here but I think there needs better definition. I'm at a loss to understand what we're accomplishing... I certainly can understand the...landscaping other than take up parking spaces, I don't see what we're accomplishing there. Aanenson: With the painted or with landscape islands? Skubic: With the painted islands. As far as I can see...to have there. I guess that's all I have. I'm not going to comment on the easement. That's something I think that's beyond the commissioner's responsibility. Peterson: Thank you. Ladd. Conrad: I'll ask this question of staff. When we put the island in, is that a landscape island or, is it a landscape, okay. Then that's real clear that it does have to be a landscape island. A little bit of concern, you know although we're trying to hide cars, I really don't want to hide the shopping center. So it's one of these let's hide the, we really don't want to destroy visibility and the visibility's going to be blocked to a degree but we don't need to, I don't know how to get my hands around that issue but there's no need to further block the shopping center so if we're talking about a minor berm, I don't think that's going to do it. Aanenson: The berm is just to screen the cars. Conrad: Which would be how high? A couple feet are we talking. So we're just talking a couple foot berm. Aanenson: Five feet usually. Conrad: How high? 30 Planning Commission Meeting - June 18, 1997 Aanenson: Three to five. We can work. That's the intent. Conrad: I really want to be sensitive to the shopping center behind there. There's just absolutely no reason not to be. I think that's important. I hope the applicant saw the staff report which talked about the neon sign on the west and south. That was not in the staff recommendations. It was in the staff report. I think that's real important for you to recognize that we've gone through so many neighborhood meetings that that was real important to the neighbors from a historic standpoint. I still have a problem with the traffic flow. I guess I have,but Bob your comment is interesting. You find the traffic flow to be okay in this parking lot. It's not a Market Square situation. Skubic: No. Conrad: That's good. I'll buy your perception. It just worries me that we have meandering traffic patterns here when we don't really have a very good plan for egress. It's just not what you like to see. The only other comment, and maybe it's back to staff and not to the applicant is, we really, we don't have connectivity again in this site, which we talk about occasionally. Sidewalks and stuff like that. You know we've got, this is street. This is car stuff. Now you didn't talk about it and I'm not going to be, I don't know. You didn't talk about it in the staff report so I guess your assumption is we really don't need it here. Aanenson: Well I think it'd be nice. Trying to get the road access. That would be nice to be able to walk... Conrad: Yeah. It's a real contradiction to what we call good planning in a shopping center and we've got a conflict between owners you know. And even if we didn't have a conflict, we'd have problems getting things connected. I don't know. That bothers me. It just, and I guess from the standpoint of just having staff tell me, let's not worry about it. Or that we can't accomplish much with connecting the video store to SuperAmerica to the shopping center you know. Aanenson: How about this? If we commit to looking at it. Conrad: That's okay with me. Yeah, I'd like you to do that Kate. I guess yeah. I think that's important. Again, the whole reason I asked for the whole site is just to look at these things. When it comes in in a partial and you just look at the site plan, you don't look at the big picture and again we're looking, we were looking at a snap shot and if you look at the bigger picture and again Bob, I respect you. That's real interesting that you like the traffic flow through. You get a lot more cars now going through there without really concrete direction so I guess staff looks at that. I don't know that I want it back. IF somebody else feels uncomfortable,you could bring her back. Peterson: Allyson. 31 Planning Commission Meeting - June 18, 1997 Brooks: Well I'll just follow everyone else and say that I'm not comfortable with the traffic pattern either. It just seems like it is meandering a little bit and as for the dispute between the owners, I have no comment on that. I do agree with Ladd too, that we should keep the berm low. Lower so that people can see the mall so they know it's there. Those are my comments. Peterson: Thank you. My comments are not dissimilar. I guess I'd maybe beg to differ with Bob a little bit. I found that traffic flow in there to be confusing. Perhaps it was because of my anger at thinking it was TH 41 that I was turning off onto but...whether it be for gas or stopping for a video or whatever. I think now is the time, if there is any confusion, take a look at it again and see if we can address some of the flow better. I mean I doubt that we can in looking at it by better minds than mine. Nobody's really discussed the architectural design. I think that generally means that it'd liked and I too like it. My only concern is it is a pretty basic design without a lot of character and definition. I shouldn't say a lot. It has some. It's just a matter of we're putting up another standard style building. I know to change from the standard increases the cost and that makes it prohibitive, but it does, the reason why I'm acquiescing, it does match the current standards that are set out there so I just wanted a conversational point or for future reference I guess. Really what describes, be a little bit more creative on the architectural lines... Those are my comments. With that, may I have a motion and a second please. Conrad: I'm going to make a motion Mr. Chair but I'm going to, do you want to see this back as the Chairman? You know Kate volunteered to do some work and move it onto the City Council. Peterson: What do you feel Kate. Join in on this. What do you feel that we can gain if we see it again? I mean what questions will we, as a commission, be able to have answered if it comes back again. Aanenson: The issues that we looked at, that Sharmin examined was, we talked about the pedestrian. Right now TH 41's not a four way, and either is Highway 7 at that intersection. Someday it will be four lanes. We don't know the time frame on that but right now it's probably more...to get, but that doesn't mean we still can't have internal...as we're getting more development on TH 41. We feel in looking at the architecture that it's blending in with the center. It seems consistent. We certainly can appreciate... We believe the breaks in the lines and the use of materials... As far as the issues between the property owners, we believe that they can solve that problem but...something to us that says that they have access to the property. That's an issue whatever they resolve... I'm not sure exactly what, we can certainly try to look at pedestrian internal access. I'm not sure, this whole center was approved. It meets the parking standards. You meets all the criteria. I'm not sure exactly what we could examine further. Peterson: I think with that I can't, Ladd unless you see something that we can get back, I don't think there's any... Conrad: Yeah, I'm comfortable sending it on but yeah. I'll make the motion the Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan#97-4 as shown on the site plan received March 17, 1997, subject to the conditions of the staff report dated June 18th, with the following modifications or alterations. In point number 3, that the staff would review the berming to 32 Planning Commission Meeting- June 18, 1997 ensure that it's not prohibiting a decent view of the shopping center itself. All the other points stand. Point number 15, and that would be to have staff review the pedestrian and vehicular circulation within the entire shopping center to make sure that it meets any requirements that we believe is important for a shopping center to have based on today's standards. Peterson: Any second? Blackowiak: I'll second that. Peterson: Any discussion? Conrad: Yeah just discussion. Dave, I don't know what control we have but my experience when I've been over there has been like Craig's. It's typical going through a parking lot scenario which makes me real uncomfortable. It's like, it's not, we're now putting in another store and we do have more traffic and it's like it's not an identifiable, at least it wasn't to me and I don't know. Maybe it was the wintertime but it wasn't an identifiable exit and I'm moving all over the place. It's a real bad, it's real bad and so I don't know if we have any control over it right now but that's what I would expect from you and the analysis to recommend to the City what, if we have any control, let's do it. If we have none, we're out of it. That's okay. Peterson: Other discussion? Conrad moved, Blackowiak seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan Review#97-4 as shown on the site plan received March 17, 1997, subject to the following conditions: I.

We'll do the next section of the comprehensive plan which will be the housing element. We'll also be talking, have our first look, first blush look at the Bluff Creek overlay district. We've got an office building in on the Pond. The one next to St. Hubert's so that's exciting. And then Sharmin's been doing an amendment on how porches and how the setbacks...so we will have some items on the 16`h. And then I introduced you to Jacqueline Schroeder, our intern. She will be starting on her second year...graduate school so she's helping us this summer doing some projects. Attending meetings. Learning. That's all I had. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Blackowiak moved to note the Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting dated June 4, 1997 as presented. Conrad moved, Skubic seconded to adjourn the meeting. All voted in favor and the motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m. Submitted by Kate Aanenson Planning Director Prepared by Nann Opheim 35
