Mr. Steve Scharfenberg, formerly 1470 Lake Susan Hills Drive, is present on behalf of the Chanhassen Red Birds town baseball team. This weekend, Chanhassen is hosting a round robin tournament of some of the best Class B baseball teams in the State of Minnesota: The Moorhead Brewers, the Cold Spring Springers, and the Eagan Bandits. Friday, July 16 is Chanhassen Community Night and they invite all of the Council and Staff to come out to the ballpark that evening. He hopes people can come out on Friday and Saturday for the games. OLD BUSINESS. 1. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF FINAL PLAT AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT FOR AVIENDA Community Development Director Kate Aanenson gave a presentation, noting the project as it looks today was approved by the City Council on July 13, 2020. She stated some things have City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021 3 changed from the original approval, including the relocation of the retail which was pushed up towards Lyman Boulevard. The residential has always been the western side, additional housing was placed in the center of the site to support the commercial. The other major change is that Bluff Creek was the main connector, which was a requirement of the environmental document, as is the connection up to Sunset Trail at Lyman Boulevard. However, the ring road on the eastern side was then eliminated. The plans changed last year so the Planned Unit Development (PUD) also changed, they also looked at some of the sign ordinances, wayfinding, and made some minor changes there which Staff thinks will enhance for the developer and the City. When the PUD ordinance later on the agenda is adopted, it becomes effective when the plat gets recorded but is part of the process. Ms. Aanenson noted there are distinct districts within: the residential, two senior housing projects, the village in the middle with apartments and specialty retail, large-scale retail, and the mixed-use district which has the hotel, some drive-through, and the office which are all identified on the plan. The Council also approved the grading plan on May 24 which is underway. She showed the plat on screen which shows all of the outlots and rights-of-way. Currently they are rough-grading the site which will take a few months, finalizing construction plans in the next few weeks, reviewing sewer and water, submitting for the Transportation Economic Development Infrastructure (TEDI) grant, and paving the streets next spring. Ms. Aanenson noted every project that comes through is recorded in the PUD to go through site plan review, which means they will come in and have a public hearing before the Planning Commission, it would be measured up against the PUD design standards, give a recommendation, and that would also appear to the City Council for final approval. Ms. Aanenson reminded the City Council that this was one of the strategic initiatives. Staff recommends approval for the final plat which creates the five outlots, the public right-of-way, and a development contract for security. City Engineer Howley noted one late add for the Development Contract which will be done verbally and has been reviewed by the City Attorney and the Developer. He stated special provision Section B-1 on page 4 of the agreement needs a sentence added: “In the event that the Transportation Economic Development Infrastructure (TEDI) grant is approved, the parties agree to amend the development contract to comply with any requirements of the TEDI grant necessary for the City to receive the funds approved under the grant.” Mayor Ryan asked to understand a bit more about the TEDI grant and what it will be used for. Mr. Howley replied the TEDI grant comes about every couple years through the State and is meant to spur development and creation of jobs. If there was some public infrastructure struggling to get funded - once that infrastructure is constructed a big boom of development would happen, which would create jobs. He clarified it is not creating the jobs to build the infrastructure but the permanent jobs of the use. The State has real interest in that and bonds at the State level and can dole out to projects; the City sent out a Request for Proposals (RFP) for projects and there are usually not a lot of applications in the metro area so Mr. Howley thinks City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021 4 they have a good shot. At the next Council meeting he will bring a Resolution to support the submission of the application as the City Council must be okay with what is required of the grant. This is a way to pay for the road extension on Bluff Creek Boulevard. Mayor Ryan noted some questions that came in and clarified the website will be updated with project plans for people to follow along. Many times, there are concerns with grading happening and dust flying through the air, construction trucks. She asked who the best person to contact would be. Mr. Howley replied there is a project page on the website and has already been updated to indicate the fact that the grading permit was issued and consideration of the plat tonight. The contact person is Eric the project engineer and is also listed on the website. There was a pre- construction meeting regarding grading, erosion control, and that access for trucks are all taken care of and it was a packed room. He noted they have many eyes on the project and are consulting with the Soil and Water Conservation District to do the inspections. Mayor Ryan noted there is a button on the project page for residents to sign up and be notified of progress. She noted another resident question is many in the adjacent neighborhoods are wondering if there is an estimated timeline for when the public roads (primarily Bluff Creek to Powers) will be accessible for public use. Mr. Howley has not seen a targeted date; generally speaking, paving is in spring/summer and that would be when the road would actually be open. It is a big undertaking so perhaps by next 4th of July they may be driving on it. Mark Nordlund, representing Level 7 Development, stated their schedule currently shows a July completion for paving on the road, but it could be as late as the fall depending on weather. Mayor Ryan stated as progress continues, the adjacent neighborhoods would welcome another town hall discussion from the Developer. Councilman McDonald moved, Councilman Campion seconded, that the City Council adopt a resolution as follows: The City Council approve the Final Plat creating five outlots and dedication of public right-of-way for Bluff Creek Boulevard, Avienda Parkway, and Sunset Trail, as shown in plans prepared by Landform, in the 7/12/2021 agenda and approves the Development Contract, and adopts the City Engineer’s request for a verbal amendment to the motion. Motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021 5 2. ADOPT SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE 657 FOR PUBLICATION PURPOSES - AVIENDA REGIONAL/COMMERCIAL PUD REZONING Ms. Aanenson noted this is approving the summary ordinance for the PUD. Councilman McDonald moved, Councilman Campion seconded, that the City Council adopts Summary Ordinance 657 rezoning the Avienda property from Agricultural Estate District A-2 to PUD Regional Commercial. Motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. PUBLIC HEARING. RESOLUTION 2021-36: CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A METES AND BOUNDS SUBDIVISION OF 4.39 ACRES INTO TWO LOTS AT 8971 CROSSROADS BOULEVARD Ms. Aanenson stated metes and bounds is another way to do a subdivision and the public hearing comes directly to the City Council rather than the Planning Commission. The subject site is located off of 101 just north of Lyman Boulevard, the area was developed under a PUD in 2008 with a Kwik Trip, carwash, multitenant building, Primrose, a potential future office building, and Christian Brothers Automotive. My Salon Suites is what wants to go forward and most of the properties have their own lots with cross-access parking agreements. With this project, the owner wanted to split a lot and one challenge is that the two-story building meets the parking standards. All buildings went through site plan review and this building would be consistent to the architecture and would be issued a building permit. Staff recommends approval to adopt the metes and bounds for a two-lot subdivision. Jim LaValle, with My Salon Suites, stated they are excited to bring the concept into town. This building will have 30 suites and is an incubator for people to run their own business, to set their own hours and entrepreneurial business without investing in real estate. The suites are leased and people customize their own business. Councilwoman Schubert asked if there is concern about parking at this point. Ms. Aanenson replied no, it is the next building that will come in; a building was proposed and they are monitoring peak hours, and have informed Kraus Anderson about the uses mix because the future building can be commercial/office and the City will need to look at the future use. Mayor Ryan asked which way the building faces on the property. Mr. LaValle noted the main entry would be to the east into the parking field. Mayor Ryan opened the public hearing. City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021 6 Balakrishna Chintaginjala, 8982 SouthWest Village Loop, approached the podium and lives just on the other side of the road to this property. He asked whether any smart building technology components will be used. He lives very close in a townhome complex and asked how much noise or disturbance there will be as right now it is a very quiet neighborhood. Mayor Ryan closed the public hearing. Mayor Ryan reiterated the question regarding smart building technology. Mr. LaValle noted smart building technology is a loose term and he does not know specifically what that means. In regards to the HVAC systems they are doing very high-efficiency energy systems, lighting systems, low-flow water, etcetera. The building envelope will meet the higher standards for insulation quality. Regarding the noise, it will be the vehicles entering the site and people interacting with their cars going up to the side of the building. Mr. Chintaginjala clarified smart building technology is in high-efficiency buildings, the temperature will adjust when the weather changes, so when it is not being used the temperature automatically goes down. It also has to do with IT security if an attack should happen, and fire resistance. Mayor Ryan said in terms of the exterior of the building such as fire code, it is all current code. Ms. Aanenson noted Kwik Trip has the highest rating for efficiency and in the City over the last year-and-a-half most of the larger industrial buildings have all refitted their rooftop equipment including the City of Chanhassen. Most owners working with developers are moving that direction, so it is already implied in most things going in today. Mayor Ryan noted an IT security attack would be private to the business and is not something the City gets involved with. Ms. Aanenson noted most of the private sector is leading the way on that right now. Councilman McDonald commented that there is also a similar business of suites in Eden Prairie he has been a couple of times, and the suites are big enough for a chair, sink, and supplies. Each one has a door with a name above it, and as for traffic one would not even know it is there, it is a great addition and a great opportunity for someone that wants to get into the salon business. Resolution #2021-36: Councilman Campion moved, Councilwoman Schubert seconded, that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a two-lot metes and bounds subdivision of Crossroads of Chanhassen, subject to the conditions of the Staff report, and adopts the Findings of Fact and Decision. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021 7 NEW BUSINESS. APPROVE A REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE INTERIM USE PERMIT (IUP) TO REMOVE THE CONDITION REQUIRING THE INSTALLATION OF DRIVING RANGE NETS Ms. Aanenson said this item is an appeal of a condition for an IUP. This required a public hearing at the Planning Commission and the City Council must weigh in. Brian and Keri Colvin, Applicants, are requesting that condition 8, requiring the installation of driving range nets be removed from IUP 2021-02. The property is located on Flying Cloud Drive and is zoned Agricultural Estate and is guided for 2040 Land Use as office, and is 97 acres. In July 1998 the City approved a site plan, IUP, with wetland alteration permit to allow the driving range. In September 1999 the City amended the site plan to allow a second story over the driving dens and amended the City Code to allow 3.2% liquor. In October 2006 the City amended the site plan and granted variances for an 11,000 square-foot addition. In 2018 the driving range was closed. Per City Code, after six months of inactivity the IUP expired. In January 2021 the City Council approved resumption of the driving range under the IUP with the condition that the nets be installed by June 2021. In May, the Applicant requested that the condition of the nets be lifted, stating that wetlands are 400 yards away and golfers cannot hit balls that far, they machine and hand pick balls daily, and the driving range had not utilized nets for 10 years previous. At the 2020 site visit stray balls were not seen, and Ms. Aanenson noted the river rose quite a bit before that, so if there were balls there, they may or may not have drifted off. The Applicant stated if the balls were driven into the wetlands, they would voluntarily install the nets. Staff’s position was that wetland boundaries are not always obvious; the most recent delineation (1998, expired) showed the boundary 275 yards away. From the Applicant’s statements, balls can travel 275+ yards. Even if balls land short of that they could land within the wetland buffer area. As stated by water resources, significant concern is equipment being operated in and out of the wetland buffer, so Staff did not require a new delineation to reissue the IUP because the Applicant had agreed to put the nets up. Now that they want to take the nets down, Staff would want that as a consideration to where that wetland delineation is. The condition is designed to provide maximum protection to the City’s environmental sensitivity, recognizing it is a financial burden to put nets up. Driving ranges typically feature nets. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the topic and voted 4-2 to recommend denial of the request to remove the condition. Commissioners recommended denial because they were aware of the condition regarding the wetlands and maximum protection and expressed the concern that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) had not weighed in, and still have not. No members of the public commented on this request. Ms. Aanenson noted some Councilmember questions, including whether vegetation could be put towards the back, but there are wetlands there so putting pine trees or other types of trees probably would not do very well and die; she confirmed this with the City Forester. Some inspections were deferred while in the process of resolving this issue. Lower Minnesota River Watershed District has jurisdiction and Ms. Aanenson noted their rules are perhaps not as strident as the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District would be, although they have not weighed in on the issue. City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021 8 Councilman Campion asked who weighed in with concerns over the wetland. Ms. Aanenson replied those were the original conditions of approval granted with the first permit. Staff recommended sticking with those original conditions. Councilman Campion clarified the original conditions were set by the watershed. Ms. Aanenson replied the U.S. Department of Interior and DNR put those conditions of approval on, and she noted it is a fly zone for birds and wildlife movement. Councilwoman Schubert noted she is struggling with having a net that is 4.5 feet off the ground, and asked how is that stopping balls from rolling. Ms. Aanenson’s understanding is that the balls would hit the net and then drop down. Councilman McDonald asked what they are trying to protect here? If one hits a ball out 300 yards during the season, can they take a ball retrieving machine out there to pick up balls or is the ground too wet. Ms. Aanenson replied they are trying to protect the existing wetland boundary as it was designated in 1998, and the most impacted would be to the east and to the south. Councilman McDonald asked what damage a golf ball does to the environment. Ms. Aanenson replied if there were a lot of them out there it would impact. Councilman McDonald noted if there were a lot out there, he could retrieve them as he would be able to see them. He said if he hits a golf ball close to 300 yards, does that mean it is gone and no one can retrieve it or can they go out and pick it up? Ms. Aanenson noted either side is environmental with Raguet Wildlife Management Area and National Wildlife Area, and this is part of a natural, environmental area. Those were the standards that were put in place. Councilwoman Rehm said upon reading the notes, it said that the net will not necessarily keep the balls from going into that buffer zone beyond, but it would keep the machinery and the staff from going beyond that area so it is a nice marker. She also had the question regarding a net 4.5 feet above the ground. She noted it does make sense to have something there as it is a very environmentally sensitive area. Ms. Aanenson noted the Water Resources Coordinator’s main concern was keeping equipment out of the wetland buffer area. The other alternative was to put a fence in the southern portion. City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021 9 Mayor Ryan asked if there is a recommendation on the type of fence. Ms. Aanenson replied no, it would be standard, not a net but a fence and she thinks it is something they could get some input on to transition between the nets and a fence that would identify that as a wetland. Councilwoman Rehm thought in the 1998 document there was something specifically mentioned about the type of net. Ms. Aanenson replied yes, the net was the type that birds would not get hung up in but would be repelled. However, that is different than the fence question. Councilman McDonald noted that answered part of his question, what they are trying to protect is to keep the equipment out of the wetlands. They could do that and mark the limits – they don’t need a net or a fence – as it would be very easy to mark on the ground where ball retrieval equipment can go and where it cannot. He is not sure a net accomplishes all of this and is still at a loss as to why they need a net. He now understands what they are trying to protect and there are other ways to protect that besides having to go to the expense of putting up a net. He stated it seems like overkill. Mayor Ryan’s thoughts are along the same lines as Councilwoman Schubert and Councilman McDonald, she does not see the need for a net. She is curious more about the need for a fence or how they could clearly mark the wetland and keep people and equipment off as she thinks that is very important. She does not know what that looks like or where they would get recommendations but she would be interested in having staff pursue this further. In reading through things, it really is more about keeping people and equipment off the wetland than it is anything else. She knows the DNR is concerned about wildlife migration and wildlife impact and that is why the nets are 4.5 feet off the ground, but balls can still roll underneath that if one has that sweet of a drive. She would like some investigation about the type of markings or fencing to keep people and equipment out of the wetland versus an actual net. Mayor Ryan asked Ms. Aanenson as part of the motion has to do with a wetland delineation, what is involved with that. Ms. Aanenson replied because the delineation goes back to 1998, if the recommendation was to put some kind of fencing, they would want to be sure the fencing is on the right side of the wetland rather than in the wetland. Mayor Ryan asked if there was not going to be fencing but markers, would that still be part of it. Mr. Howley replied a wetland delineation is done by someone who is certified by the State and has the skills and training to identify what a wetland is. They go out to the site, spend a day and mark where the wetland is by visual observation based on vegetation, take soil samples, and decide where they as a professional feel that the wetland is. The report is then reviewed by a City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021 10 panel which would be the City, Bureau of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), and various organizations. A delineation is typically good between two to five years before it is old and needs to be redone. Where the wetland was in 1998 versus where it is today could be materially different. Mayor Ryan noted once that is produced, they could make a determination on whether they need netting, fencing, or markers based on whether the wetland has moved in or out. Robert Fashingbauer, the area Wildlife Supervisor for the Minnesota DNR Fish and Wildlife division is in charge of all wildlife management areas, public hunting, and fishing for Dakota, Scott, Carver, and Hennepin County. He apologized on behalf of the DNR because had they answered the request from the City Council or the Planning Commission earlier, they wouldn’t even be here today. At the DNR, the last thing they want to see is any kind of netting, fencing, or anything that will inhibit free passage of wildlife. Part of the reason they were not able to be contacted is because they just closed their Shakopee office and the transition happened in February/March which is why they did not get back to the City. Mr. Fashingbauer stated he was contacted by the owners, he went out to the property the previous Friday, and noted the area is a very important waterfowl and crane migration route, and especially for raptors, hawks, owls, and eagles, they like to perch on netting and their claws are so sharp they get between the interwoven fibers of the netting. He has had many calls to go and pick out a dead eagle or hawk. The last thing he wants to see, especially in that area, is netting. Fencing is even worse when it comes to free passage of reptiles and amphibians as there are a lot of frogs and turtles in that area. Turtles come upland to lay eggs, and frogs come very far from the wetland area in the grass to feed on insects. Most importantly, Mr. Fashingbauer has been in contact with BWSR and the Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD); those two entities and he himself would be in charge of verifying the wetlands and would be the Technical Evaluation Panel. They are all in agreement that it does not matter where the wetland edge is, it makes no difference because there is nothing in any state of law that says one cannot drive a golf cart and a ball picker through a wetland. Mr. Fashingbauer stated the owners right now, today, could go out there with a tractor and a plow, and plow it up and plant corn right through the wetland area. The only thing one cannot do in a wetland is fill or drain. There is nothing in the Wetland Conservation Act that would prevent these owners to go out with a golf cart and a ball picker; he said “if you’re going to do that then you better shut down every golf course in the State.” He noted people would walk out there on site and ask where the wetland is, he noted it is obviously a dry year. Mr. Fashingbauer stated he was a wetland delineator for 15 years before he came to work for the State. Looking at soil, plants, hydrology, it is all moot and it does not matter where the wetland edge is because they have every right – there is no State law that says one cannot drive – they can drive a pick-up through or anything they want as long as it does not alter that hydrology. He would rather have some golf balls in his wildlife management area than getting a call that something is stuck in the fence or the netting. City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021 11 Mr. Fashingbauer stated when he was out on Friday, he walked around and there were a pair of cranes with a young crane, wild turkeys, many waterfowl flying back and forth. He said in the mowed area, the last 40 yards being mowed is wetland area to catch the handful of balls that can go beyond 300 yards, and that is a very important place for the cranes and critters to come out and pick at the frogs and insects. He would even go so far (although it is not his business) to say that the Applicant remove the existing cables and pulleys that are haphazardly hanging from the poles as that is also an obstruction to the wildlife. He is steadfastly against any netting or fencing. Mr. Fashingbauer stated he has been listening and it is all good conversation, but setting a precedent that one cannot drive a golf cart/ball picker in a wetland, they will have trouble with every golf course in the State of Minnesota. He clarified there is a 400-foot de minimus so with all the building projects coming in, they can fill 400 square feet of a wetland in a project without any project from BWSR, SWCD, or the DNR. He said it would take golf balls a foot thick covering 400 square feet and if that were to happen, they would have six months to remove. As an adjacent landowner for the State, they are not concerned about golf balls and there is nothing that says they are an environmental hazard. In reading past minutes, as far as golf balls migrating during a flood stage into the Minnesota River, he would really be surprised and it is really not that big of a concern if they did. He noted the current owners, as with the previous owners, have the DNR’s permission to go out and pick up their golf balls. Councilwoman Rehm asked if a City law is usually more strict than the DNR, because even with the Avienda project they had to move the wetland. Mr. Howley said the Avienda projects, like many projects, are filling wetlands and then there is a permitting situation. Mayor Ryan said there is a City process in talking about draining or filling wetlands and multiple jurisdictions that have to approve it in order for any type of impeding on wetlands. Councilman Campion moved, Councilman McDonald seconded, that the Chanhassen City Council recommends relief of Condition 9 of the Interim Use Permit #2021-02. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS. Councilwoman Rehm stated on Thursday, July 29, 2021 from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m., there will be a Town Hall for All presented by the Crucial Conversations Group and Carver County Sherriff Jason Kamerud. This group has been meeting with the Sherriff regarding various policing issues and he will be answering a list of questions that have been submitted. People need to register for the virtual Town Hall in advance and is for all of Carver County. Councilman McDonald attended all three days of the 4th of July Celebration and he thinks they pulled off a really great celebration. The weather also cooperated, and he was surprised at the City Council Minutes – July 12, 2021 12 crowds as it was bigger than average and it was amazing to see that. The parade was delightful and he took his family to Lake Ann Park and the fireworks were really nice. He said hats off to the City and Staff, and to Jerry and the Rotary; they all did a really magnificent job and it all came together in a very short period of time and they pulled off a really, really good 4th of July. Councilman Campion agreed and said it is nice that they invested in the higher exploding fireworks as they were more visible and it was a great show. ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS. Ms. Hokkanen shared that some information was put out on social media as they saw a sharp increase in vehicle thefts this weekend, the great majority from vehicles that are unlocked. She wants to remind people that much of the crime in Chanhassen is a crime of opportunity, and suggested putting a reminder on one’s phone at 10:00 p.m. to check car doors and garage door or if one sees a neighbor’s garage door is open to remind each other. Ms. Hokkanen also let the City Council know that Sergeant Tyler Stahn has received a new assignment as the liaison sergeant for the City of Waconia. CORRESPONDENCE DISCUSSION. 2021 BUILDING PERMIT ACTIVITY JUNE YEAR TO DATE Councilwoman Schubert moved, Councilman McDonald seconded to adjourn the meeting.
