The maximum building height is 28 feet. The majority of the building,visible from public right-of- ways, is 23 feet high. Entrance features rise an additional two feet above the parapet wall. In addition, entrance features project out from the building approximately five feet and the building entrance is recessed into the building and further detailed through the use of columns and arches above the doorway. The loading dock areas are located on the east side of the building with the dock areas recessed approximately 32 feet from the farthest projects of the building. Building materials include concrete masonry unit (CMU) in rock face (rough and dull) and burnished (smooth and polished) textures. The applicant proposes the use of three block sizes: 8 inch by 8 inch, 16 inch by 16 inch, and 8 inch by 16 inch. The primary finish color is tan with an accent color of beige. The development design standards state that all walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping. The buildings shall have varied and interesting detailing. Staff is recommending that the developer incorporate additional architectural details of the western building elevation on others sides of the building to provide visual relief in views from public streets. Specifically, staff is recommending that 1) each outside corner of the building shall use rock face 16 x 16 inch CMU-1, 2)the north doorway shall be enhanced through the use of rock face 16 x 16 inch CMU-1 in proportion to the other building entrances, and 3) the applicant shall use burnished 8 x 8 inch CMU-1 between the showroom windows on the north end of the building. As required by the development design standards,all roof mounted equipment shall be screened from public view by walls of compatible appearing material or camouflaged to blend into the building or background. Wood screen fences are prohibited. The applicant has not provided details about the location, size, or parapet height above roof for the city to review to analyze the screening of such equipment. We are hereby notifying the applicant of the screening requirement. This site was identified as Lot 5, Block 1 of the Arboretum Business Park PUD Plan. Building size was estimated at 57,688 square feet. Site coverage is approximately 68 percent. Up to 70 percent site coverage is permitted. The permitted uses of the property included office, warehouse, industrial or utility services. Showroom space as an ancillary use is limited to 20 percent of the building floor area. Until Highway 41 is upgraded,the roadway will be approximately 12 feet above the proposed finished floor elevation at the north end of the building and Coulter Boulevard will remain a temporary cul-de- sac. Staff is recommending approval of site plan#98-10 subject to the conditions of the staff report. BACKGROUND On May 11, 1998,the City Council approved a site plan for a 50,400 square foot building as one of two office-industrial-warehouse buildings or one building up to 113,600 square feet. All About Lights June 3, 1998 Page 2 On July 28, 1997, the City Council approved the following: the ordinance for PUD#92-6 rezoning approximately 154 acres from Agricultural Estate,A2, to Planned Unit Development, PUD, and the PUD #92-6 granting final plat approval for Arboretum Business Park. On June 9, 1997, the City Council approved site plan#97-6 for Heartland America, a 101,600 square foot office industrial building on Lot 3, Block 1, Arboretum Business Park. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The development must comply with the Development Design Standards for Arboretum Business Park (attached). GRADING On May 13, 1998, City Council approved final plat and grading, drainage, and erosion control plan for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition. This development falls within that proposed grading operation. It appears the proposed grading plan corresponds with the approved grading plan for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition. The proposed first floor elevation will be situated approximately eight feet above Coulter Boulevard. Eventually,Trunk Highway 41 will be upgraded and lowered. The plans have taken into account the future upgrading of Trunk Highway 41 which should result in a landscaped earth berm along Trunk Highway 41. DRAINAGE In conjunction with the City's public improvement project no. 97-1D, a stormwater drainage system will be constructed within Coulter Boulevard to convey this site's stormwater runoff into existing stormwater ponds within the subdivision for pretreatment prior to discharging into wetlands. The applicant's engineer needs to supply detailed storm drainage calculations and drainage area maps for the individual catch basins. The calculations shall be based on a 10-year, 24-hour storm event. The calculations and drainage map shall be submitted to staff for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. Depending on storm sewer calculations, additional catch basins may be required throughout the parking lot to adequately address stormwater runoff from the site. UTILITIES Municipal sanitary sewer and water service is proposed to be extended to the site from Coulter Boulevard in conjunction with the City's public improvement project no. 97-1 D later this summer. Individual sewer and water services will be extended to the property line for future extension by the applicant. Connection to the city's utility improvements along Coulter Boulevard will not be permitted until the city's utility lines have been tested and accepted by the City. All of the utilities proposed will be constructed and privately owned and maintained by the property owner and not the City, therefore, detailed construction plans will not be required. However, a utility plan sheet will be required with the building permit application. All utilities shall be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates and/or State plumbing codes. The applicant and/or All About Lights June 3, 1998 Page 3 contractor will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate sewer, water, and plumbing permits from the City's Building Department. This property will be assessed for the sewer,water,and street improvements under City project 97-1 D, however, according to city ordinance,the property may also be subject to additional sewer and water hook up charges at time of building permit issuance. Sewer and water hook up charges are determined based on the number of sewer availability charges(SAC units) which are determined by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services upon building plan review. The applicant and/or the contractor applying for the building permit will be responsible for the additional sanitary sewer and water hook up charges over and above what is proposed to be assessed with the City's public improvement project. The 1998 hook up charges for sanitary sewer and water are $1,216.00 and $1,584.00, respectively per unit. STREETS/PARKING LOTS The city's public improvement project no. 97-1D will be constructing Coulter Boulevard west of Century Boulevard and terminate at a temporary cul-de-sac near the northwest corner of the site. Eventually, Coulter Boulevard will be extended(with a right-in- right-out only)to Trunk Highway 41 with the future upgrading of Trunk Highway 41. The timing for the improvements to Trunk Highway 41 has not been determined,therefore, Coulter Boulevard may remain a cul-de-sac for quite some time. Without the city's public improvement no. 97-1D,the site plan should be considered premature since there will be inadequate utility and street improvements to accommodate this development. Also, the final plat for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition has not been recorded yet. Approval of the final plat for Phase II is also contingent upon the City awarding the bid for project no. 97-1 D. The drive aisle widths throughout the project appear to be in conformance with city code. Staff is recommending industrial driveway aprons be constructed at all access points on to the city streets. Depending on timing, the City's public improvement project may incorporate the applicant's curb cut with the City's project. The City has a standard detail plate (No. 5207)which should be utilized at all access points. In conjunction with the City's street improvement project no. 97-1D, a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk is proposed along the south side of Coulter Boulevard. In an effort to promote pedestrian traffic, the applicant's site plan should be modified to incorporate a sidewalk system out to Coulter Boulevard at a location to be determined by staff and applicant's engineer. EROSION CONTROL The plans propose erosion control measures such as rock construction entrances and protection for catch basins until the parking lot has been paved. Erosion control fence is proposed along Coulter Boulevard. The silt fence should be located so as to not interfere with construction activities in conjunction with the City's improvement project. All About Lights June 3, 1998 Page 4 LANDSCAPING Landscaping requirements for the development include parking lot landscaping and buffer yard plantings. The parking lot area is 76,231 square feet. The minimum required amount of landscaping for the parking lot is 6,099 sq. ft. and 24 overstory trees. The applicant meets the landscaping requirement for amount of landscape area,but not for number of trees required in the parking lot. Proposed are eight overstory trees in the west or front parking lot. The remaining required trees appear to have been incorporated into the bufferyard plantings which exceed the required bufferyard B minimum. However, since no landscaping has been incorporated into the east or rear side of the building, staff recommends that two overstory trees be included in each of the three sodded areas in the rear of the building. LIGHTING/SIGNAGE Lighting for the interior of the business center should be consistent throughout the development. A decorative, shoe box fixture(high pressure sodium vapor lamps)with a square ornamental pole shall be used for area lighting. All light fixtures shall be shielded. Any wall mounted lighting shall be shielded from direct off-site view. Light level for site lighting shall be no more than %2 candle at the property line. All freestanding signs be limited to one monument sign per street frontage. Signs must be a minimum of 10 feet from the property line and must be located outside drainage and utility easements. The sign shall not exceed eighty(80) square feet in sign display area nor be greater than eight(8) feet in height. The sign treatment is an element of the architecture and thus should reflect the quality of the development. The signs should be consistent in color, size,and material throughout the development. The applicant should submit a sign package for staff review. Wall sign shall be permitted per city ordinance for industrial office park site. All signs shall require a separate sign permit. MISCELLANEOUS Accessibility. The Uniform Building Code Table A-11-A requires 5 accessible parking spaces be provided when 101-150 parking stalls are constructed.The number of accessible spaces proposed on the Site Plan is . . Shown incorrectly. One van accessible space is required for every eight accessible spaces. CABO/ASI A 117.1-1992 (C/A)requires a van accessible space to have an eight foot wide access aisle Permit requirements. Plans are often bid before the city building code plan review,making changes necessary for code compliance difficult and expensive to incorporate later. Accordingly,I would like to request that you relay to the developers and designers my desire to meet with them as early as possible to discuss commercial building permit requirements and the code review process. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: (1) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides, including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may be adopted; All About Lights June 3, 1998 Page 5 (2) Consistency with this division; (3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing or developing areas; (4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the development; (5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special attention to the following: a. An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general community; b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; c. Materials,textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and neighboring structures and uses; and d. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking. (6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers,preservation of views, light and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. Finding: : Subject to the revisions contained in the staff report, the proposed site plan is consistent with all plans and specifications and development design standards for the Arboretum Business Park Planned Unit Development. PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 3, 1998 to review the proposed development. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of site plan 98-10, All About Lights, subject to the conditions of the staff report. The two items of discussion were the inclusion of additional architectural detailing of the building, specifically, at all the outside corners of the building and the additional architectural treatment around All About Lights June 3, 1998 Page 6 the northern patio door. The third architectural detail (use of burnished block on the north side between windows) the developer was intending to do,but had not shown on their building elevations. In both instances, the Planning Commission concurred with staff recommendations. As part of the discussion, the Planning Commission requested clarification of the location of the sidewalk connection to Coulter Boulevard. The sidewalk along Coulter Boulevard will be located on the south side of the road. Staff believes that the best location will be from the northwest corner of the building along the alignment of the northwest driveway to the temporary cul-de-sac. This location is more accessible to most of the building and is not located adjacent to a primary trunk entrance. The Planning Commission also had discussions concerning the interpretation of the PUD design standards referring to showrooms. The commission felt that discussion was more appropriate in a different forum. The developer, Gateway Partners, has proposed revised language as part of the revised Addendum B to the development contract/PUD Agreement that would clarify showroom space as 20% of the total floor area of the Arboretum Business Park exclusive of commercial space. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following motion: "The City Council approves Site Plan#98-10,All About Lights, prepared by Design 1, dated 4/30/98, or Lot 1, Block 2, Arboretum Business Park 2'd Addition, subject to the following conditions: 1. The development must comply with the Development Design Standards for Arboretum Business Park. 2. The applicant shall enter into a site plan agreement with the City and provide the necessary security to guarantee erosion control, site restoration and landscaping. 3. The developer shall incorporate the following architectural details: 1) each outside corner of the building shall use rock face 16 x 16 inch CMU-1, 2) the north doorway shall be enhanced through the use of rock face 16 x 16 inch CMU-1 in proportion to the other building entrances, and 3) burnished 8 x 8 inch CMU-1 shall be used between the showroom windows on the north end of the building. 4. The applicant shall revise the landscaping plan to include two overstory trees in each of the three sodded areas in the rear of the building. 5. All driveway access points shall be constructed in accordance with the City's industrial driveway detail plate no. 5207. 6. The city's boulevards must be restored with sod. All About Lights June 3, 1998 Page 7 7. Site plan approval is contingent upon the City authorizing and awarding of public improvement project no. 97-1 D for Arboretum Business Park 2"d Addition and recording of the final plat for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition. 8. Detailed storm drainage calculations including drainage area maps for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event shall be submitted to the City Engineer for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. 9. Connection to the City's utility system shall be prohibited until the city's utility lines have been tested and accepted by the City. The sanitary sewer and water lines and storm sewer on the site will be privately owned and maintained by the property owner and not the City.

The applicant and/or the contractor applying for the building permit will be responsible for the additional sanitary sewer and water hook up charges over and above what is proposed to be assessed with the City's public improvement project. The 1998 hook up charges for sanitary sewer and water are $1,216.00 and$1,584.00,respectively per unit. STREETS/PARKING LOTS The City's public improvement project no. 97-1D will be constructing Coulter Boulevard west of Century Boulevard and terminate at a temporary cul-de-sac near the northwest corner of the site. Eventually,Coulter Boulevard will be extended(with a right-in-right- out only)to Trunk Highway 41 with the future upgrading of Trunk Highway 41. The timing for the improvements to Trunk Highway 41 has not been determined,therefore, Coulter Boulevard may remain a cul-de-sac for quite some time. Without the City's public improvement no. 97-1D,the site plan should be considered premature since there will be inadequate utility and street improvements to accommodate this development. Also,the final plat for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition has not been recorded yet. Approval of the final plat for Phase II is also contingent upon the City awarding the bid for project no.97-1D. The drive aisle widths throughout the project appear to be in conformance with city code. Staff is recommending industrial driveway aprons be constructed at all access points on to the city streets. Depending on timing,the City's public improvement project may incorporate the applicant's curb cut with the City's project. The City has a standard detail plate(No. 5207)which should be utilized at all access points. In conjunction with the City's street improvement project no. 97-1D, a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk is proposed along the south side of Coulter Boulevard. In an effort to promote pedestrian traffic,the applicant's site plan should be modified to incorporate a sidewalk system out to Coulter Boulevard at in a location to be determined by staff and applicant's engineer. 101 CITY OF MEMORANDUM CHANHASSEN TO: Bob Generous,Senior Planner 90 City Center Drive,PO Box 147 FROM: David Hempel,Assistant City Engineer L' �� Chanhassen,Minnesota 55317 Phone 612.93'.1900 DATE: May 22, 1998 General Far 612.93.7.5739 SUBJ: Site Plan Review for All About Lights-Lot 1,Block 2, Arboretum Engineering Fax 612.93-.915 2 Business Park 2"d Addition -Land Use Review File No. 98-16 Public Safety Fax 612.934.2524 Web www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us Upon review of the drawings prepared Design One dated April 30, 1998, and the civil drawings prepared by Schoell&Madson dated April, 1998,I offer the following comments and recommendations: GRADING On May 13, 1998,City Council approved final plat and grading,drainage,and erosion control plan for Arboretum Business Park 2n' Addition. This development falls within that proposed grading operation. It appears the proposed grading plan corresponds with the approved grading plan for Arboretum Business Park 2"Addition. The proposed first floor elevation will be situated approximately eight feet above Coulter Boulevard. Eventually, Trunk Highway 41 will be upgraded and lowered. The plans have taken into account the future upgrading of Trunk Highway 41 which should result in a landscaped earth berm along Trunk Highway 41. DRAINAGE In conjunction with the City's public improvement project no. 97-1D,a stormwater drainage system will be constructed within Coulter Boulevard to convey this site's stormwater runoff into existing stormwater ponds within the subdivision for pretreatment prior to discharging into wetlands. The applicant's engineer needs to supply detailed storm drainage calculations and drainage area maps for the individual catch basins. The calculations shall be based on a 10-year,24-hour storm event. The calculations and drainage map shall be submitted to staff for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. Depending on storm sewer calculations,additional catch basins may be required throughout the parking lot to adequately address stormwater runoff from the site. UTILITIES Municipal sanitary sewer and water service is proposed to be extended to the site from Coulter Boulevard in conjunction with the City's public improvement project no. 97-1D later this summer. Individual sewer and water services will be extended to the property line for future extension by the applicant. Connection to the city's utility improvements along Coulter Boulevard will not be permitted until the city's utility lines have been tested and accepted by the City. All of the utilities proposed will be constructed ie City of Chanhassen.A growing community with clean lakes,quality schools,a charming downtown,thriving businesses,and beaut f rl parks.A great place to live,work,and play. 101 CITY OF CHANHASSEN MEMORANDUM 690 City Center Drive,PO Box 1.1- T O: Bob Generous,Senior Planner Chanhassen,Minnesota 5531 FROM: Steve A.Kirchman,Building Official Phone 612.937.1900 General Fax 612.937..5739 DATE: May 22, 1998 'Engineering Fax 612.93 9152 Public Safety Fax 61 2934.25 2-1 S UBJ ECT: 98-10 SPR(All About Lights,Design 1 of Edina,Ltd.)

Analysis: Accessibility. The Uniform Building Code Table A-11-A requires 5 accessible parking spaces be provided when 101-150 parking stalls are constructed.The number of accessible spaces proposed on the Site Plan is shown incorrectly.One van accessible space is required for every eight accessible spaces.CABO/ASI A 117.1-1992(C/A)requires a van accessible space to have an eight foot wide access aisle Permit requirements. Plans are often bid before the city building code plan review,making changes necessary for code compliance difficult and expensive to incorporate later. Accordingly, I would like to request that you relay to the developers and designers my desire to meet with them as early as possible to discuss commercial building permit requirements and the code review process.. Recommendations: The following conditions should be included with the conditions of approval: I. Revise the parking on the Site Plan to comply with the building code. 2.

Generous: I can tell you. They, what is it wholesale lights. Tom Christensen: We sell lights to builders. Generous: They're only a portion of it. They have approximately 11,000 square feet of the 55,000 square foot building so there will be additional tenants in that and that's why it's office warehouse showroom space. The limitation on the building site precludes a lot of distribution in there so you won't have any large warehouse terminal type of congestion. And On the Level is a building company. Contractors. Brooks: All right. Conrad: Mr. Chairman. Tell me what you said about the architectural treatment of the corner. The 16 x 16 whatever you said didn't make sense. Generous: Maybe on the elevations. On each of the corners,this...shown an area where they've used the larger block to help define that corner area. And I just wanted to make sure that they 10 Planning Commission Meeting - June 3, 1998 continue it on the rest of the corners of the building. On this elevation for the All About Lights, you don't see the treatment on the northwest corner of the building and that was, I'm recommending that that be continued around that to give some...to the design. Joyce: Any other questions? Burton: A couple questions Bob. These two buildings seem virtually the same and they're right next to each other and I'm looking at the conditions, the recommendations that you have and which recommendations that has an item that the other one doesn't have. I'm just wondering on the first one, number 3 where you talk about the architectural treatment. It's not... Is that intentional? Generous: Well they don't have one of the, they don't have the entrance on the north elevation. Because the second building is L shaped, they have two fronts and so I didn't have to continue mimicking the entrance treatments. And then of course they don't have the additional windows on the non frontage elevation so I dropped those two requirements. Burton: And then the other one was number 6 on the second. Site plan approval contingent upon the city authorizing and awarding public improvement project and in the first one isn't tied into that? Generous: I thought I had it in both. Hempel: It's number 7. Burton: Oh, you're right. I'm sorry. I missed it. I've got to read it more carefully. Aanenson: No, that's good. You're reading it. Burton: I don't have any other questions or anything. Joyce: I have a question Bob,just a general question. Now the Gateway is the developer, correct? Who's the overall developer of this? Generous: Gateway Partners. Joyce: Gateway Partners. So this is separate company that's come in to develop this site? Generous: Yeah, they purchased this lot and they're going to develop the parcel. Or the parcels I should say. Joyce: Is that how we're going to do this whole PUD or Gateway is going to parcel this off... Aanenson: They may. But they still have to meet the same design standards. 11 Planning Commission Meeting- June 3, 1998 Joyce: I was...and I'm not understanding where the sidewalks are here and I'm trying to get the vision of what's going to be behind these buildings and how we're going to incorporate these buildings into whatever kind I'm using for pedestrian access... Do you have anything you can help me out with, that'd be great. Otherwise I'm going to ask the applicant. Generous: Why don't I have Dave. Hempel: This site plan is the All About Lights located on Lot 1, Block 2. Just south of Coulter Boulevard in the cul-de-sac. In conjunction with the city project, we're installing a 6 foot wide concrete sidewalk on the south side of Coulter Boulevard. The terminus at the cul-de-sac. That's will tie in further to the east with the north/south street of Coulter Boulevard... Staff has put in a condition or remark in the staff report about the extension of a sidewalk from the building down to the future sidewalk... The other site. Joyce: Dave, wait a second. Now, since we're on this All About Lights. They have the loading areas here. Is that going to be, is that a street back here? Part of the street or what is that? Hempel: I can expand on that Mr. Chairman. The intention is for a shared parking and truck loading facilities in the future with the adjacent parcel. The common curb access swale off of Coulter Boulevard here. The driveway will also be utilized by the city for maintenance on the water tower which is proposed directly south of this site. Joyce: Is this a through street then or...? Does it go through? Hempel: The drive aisle will go all the way to the south property line... Coulter Boulevard to the north of the building will be a temporary cul-de-sac...lower trunk highway 41... So essentially the parcel we have east of here will be the mirror type building. Joyce: ...docks pointing this way. Hempel: Correct. Joyce: Okay. Hempel: Elevation approximately the same within a couple of feet. Joyce: Okay. Thanks Dave. Hempel: The other building that's On the Level, on the north side of Coulter. Coulter Boulevard is to the south. Again, this is directly across the...from All About Lights. This parcel is...will have it's own...facilities, driveway. There's a pretty good elevation change as you continue to the north...10 feet lower than this driveway. Joyce: How do we connect this site with the rest of the development? 12 Planning Commission Meeting - June 3, 1998 Hempel: From a pedestrian standpoint? Joyce: Right. Hempel: I guess at this point you're going to be crossing Coulter Boulevard in this cul-de-sac. There's also grade challenges there as well. The east end of the drive aisle...Coulter Boulevard and continuing to the west towards the cul-de-sac. The cul-de-sac will actually be 6 to 8 feet higher than the building...see how pedestrian moves with... Joyce: I kind of envisioned this project as really being...some campus affect and that kind of thing. I don't know, it's a concern... Okay, thanks Dave very much. Any other questions for staff? No? Okay. Would the applicant like to address the Planning Commission please? Tom Christensen: Good evening. My name is Tom Christensen and I reside at 8681 Alisa Lane in Chanhassen. My business is at 7801 Park Drive in Chanhassen and we have, my wife and I, Carrie, own All About Lights and we've been in the business for three years here in Chanhassen. We want to stay here. Before when we first came up with this project, we basically were thinking of actually leaving because we couldn't find anything. That's why we decided to build the building and because there weren't any other places that we could go and that's why we came up with this project. We did a lot of work on designing the project. We wanted to make it look like a showcase which I think we've done very well at doing so. What I'd like to do is have, there is a couple of things in here that we would like to have Bob Davis, who is our architect, address if we could. Bob Davis: Good evening. My name is Bob Davis. I'm the architect on actually both of the projects that you're combining this evening. I think we want to back up and take each building a little bit separate and go through some of the features of it so that, I hear a little bit of confusion I think from the staff here. Let's take a look at the board that's...can we get the map up on the, can we focus in on... Okay. This is Coulter Boulevard. Possibly a water tower planned here... We're talking about the lot here and the lot here. They're across from each other, north and south. This road, Coulter Boulevard has a cul-de-sac proposed and a future connection of Highway 41. The comment was made about the back here of this lot is a drive to a southern point,city access to a water main. Let's go down to this floor plan, the site plan. Okay. Joyce: This is All About Lights we're talking about? Bob Davis: All About Lights. Southern property. So Highway 41 will be on the bottom. Coulter Boulevard is here. Temporary cul-de-sac. This will be the future connection. Highway 41 is proposed to be lowered about 14 feet from where it is now. The building is 55,000 square feet. This is your Highway 41 frontage. Coulter Boulevard frontage. We're recessing the building back at two points. There is loading docks at these points. There is a drive in door at these points. So we're screening to some extent a truck parked in here at the loading dock by the building extension from Coulter Boulevard. We're then also providing landscaping on the end here. This is the street connection. This is the common driveway between this property and future development to the east. And this will be used by the city as a street to get to the water 13 Planning Commission Meeting- June 3, 1998 tank location over here. Take a look at the elevation. This is the elevation. We've got quite a long elevation. There are five entrances shown here. We're projecting the entrances out 4 feet on the side and across them and recessing back in 4 feet and then recessing back in another 4 feet... These will be quite prominent. 24 foot high height here. 26 foot here. This is higher for a number of features. It accents where the business is located. This will be the sign band. This will help screen the, it will screen the roof top air conditioning. The proposed roof top air conditioning will be behind the parapet... In order to not have a very repetitive pattern, I think your site plan will show that these window sections that are 12 feet wide are not all the same. Some are higher than others and where they're lower down, they're filled in with burnish block so that the pattern of the window shape carries through. The size of the window is different. The size of the windows also are subtly changed in that the end two panels of these windows are narrower than the rest of them. So that we have a rhythm, a pattern going here with the windows. As you go down the row they're not all the same. They change in height and they change in width. When we get onto the next building you'll see that we come with a different arrangement and window styles and we think we'll get this variety. The two buildings do have the same color. They have the same materials. They have a little different patterning with those materials. Let me go through. We're talking about rough block. What's commonly referred to as rock face masonry block. And this material also comes in a burnish pattern, which is a brown finish, which gives you some different color textures again. You can pass these around. And let me show you some photographs of a building we found that used these colors and these are ones that are being specified as the color. Can we pick these up? I need to apologize. The color reproduction that you got...really didn't, they actually may not,they didn't carry through very well. Hopefully these color photographs will. This will hopefully help you understand the collection of material. We have two colors of material, a light and a dark which you have in the sample. We have the standard masonry unit and then we have the larger, 16 x 16 unit which is referred to in the report. We have rock face and we have burnished. And we have there in the pattern I'm using a fair amount of dark versus a fair amount of light. And we found a building that uses the identical colors that we're talking about. We've used quite a different patterning of this. We're not using the burnish here. We're using the rock face. I think your elevation will show our selection. Bob, I guess I'd like to clarify what you're asking for on the corners. We're talking about this large block now. I'm quite comfortable that we've shown two colors, rock face and burnished in two sizes. And I think we've got a good pattern and...with variation and I'm comfortable with the way it is. Let's go to your elevation to make sure we understand what you're asking for. Generous: Where you have these larger showroom windows,you show that you're using...and all I said is, is suggesting that you continue it around where you have the window treatments. Bob Davis: We intend to do that. The burnish block will be continued between all windows. So the windows read visually, architecturally as a continuous stripe, even though there's a lot of things going on... Generous: So this...comes out and the other thing was, to create some type of treatment using the larger block around the window and I'll let you work out some patterning to that that mimics this but on a smaller scale. 14 Planning Commission Meeting- June 3, 1998 Bob Davis: Okay. I'd like to suggest an alternate idea but, and then the last one was in reference to the corner, 16 x 16 large block. Generous: ...in this corner, I'd just continue it around the building so you have it there, there, there and there and there... Bob Davis: Can I offer a compromise? It's intended to be on the corner here on the side of the windows because we have that modular to work with. I'd like to offer using it on the four outside corners of the building. It is a fairly expensive system to mesh in with the other block. You saw...saw and then go back to your pattern. I didn't feel it necessary on the back loading dock to go through that kind of an expensive detailing from the...and that's kind of where we. Joyce: Okay, so let's straighten this out then. We're talking about recommendation number 3. The first item is the outside corners of the building. Is that what we're talking about right now? Bob Davis: Yes. Joyce: Okay. The outside corner of the building should be rock face 16 x 16. You're agreeing with that? Bob Davis: The four corners of the building. Joyce: Each outside corner. Isn't there four corners? Bob Davis: Well there's a lot more because we're talking about...by the loading dock too. Joyce: Oh, I see what you're saying. So what you're saying, what you would propose is the four corners, the four major corners of the building. 1, 2, 3,4. North, east, south,west or however you want to explain it. And then you're saying you want as much architectural emphasis put on out by the loading dock. Is that how I'm understanding this? Bob Davis: Right. I guess it'd be a matter to some extent of where the economics of this go. I think we've got some real good things going with color and block and texture and in fact if you look at these, we're using two colors,rock face and burnish and two sizes. We're using 16 x 16, the standard to make the module and then the 8 x 8 pattern. We've got a lot going. I'm comfortable that we're doing well. I think you'll be very pleased with the color. I think there's some good earth tones here. Joyce: I guess I need to remind you that part of the PUD agreement was that we treat each facade equally, if I remember correctly as part of the agreement that was reached,performance PUD. I'm just making that note. Do you have any, are those the only concerns you have is that item number 3? 15 Planning Commission Meeting- June 3, 1998 Bob Davis: Right. I know the report asks for I think...and the owner is comfortable with that request. That would be these... Joyce: Well, on item number 3,just so I'm clear and the rest of my commissioners are clear. The only issue you have is with those corners. You're okay with the north roadway being enhanced by the 16 x 16 inch? Bob Davis: I would rather do that. That is not an entrance. That's a patio area off from the inside which there's no sidewalk to it. There's no drive in front of it. There's no, there's no intention that the public would come into that side wall. I prefer to go another way and let the owner develop that as an outdoor patio showroom for light fixtures. To be accessed from the inside of the building. And when you go out and there would be a patio. Joyce: Talking about an outside area? Bob Davis: Sure. Tom Christensen: Basically what we're going to do is on the outside of that area,people will be able to walk out onto the patio and...there is a patio here. What we're going to do is we're going to have plants, bushes, going all the way around that so there will be landscape... Joyce: ...come in front of us to do something like that, is that correct or not? ...discussing, it's not in part of our. Aanenson: I guess we weren't aware of that so. Joyce: Yeah. I'm not comfortable in discussing that issue right now. Aanenson: I guess we would like clarification on exactly what the intent of that. Is it retail wholesale space. How much is going to be lit up... Joyce: We're not concerned with that right now. Bob Davis: I'd like to propose we delete item 3 and let the architectural character be developed or modified within the guidelines of what we presented. I think we've... Joyce: Okay, that's something for the commission to consider is item number 3. Is there anything else that we need to look at? Burton: On number 3 of item 3, didn't you say though that that's already doing that? Bob Davis: Well the one item,I think...maybe I didn't clarify my plans... The burnished block...all the window patterns and the request was and our intention was to carry the burnished block around the side. This side between the windows. So the face would read the same 16 Planning Commission Meeting- June 3, 1998 between windows on both elevations. The intent was, the burnished block would fill in the window section pattern. Burton: I'm maybe not getting it. So you are doing item 3 of number 3 then? Bob Davis: ... Burton: Recommendation 3 has three items in there and the third item, you're doing it? Bob Davis: Right. Burton: So it's not an issue. Bob Davis: We just wanted to elaborate... Joyce: Are there any other conditions that you feel uncomfortable with? Aanenson: ...maybe the best way is to correct it in the plan. Then we know we've got it right. When you do the final site plan make sure the site plan has that detail on there... Joyce: ...got lost a little bit there. Do you want to present anything else on this particular site? Bob Davis: No. I think we're...answer questions on this project. Joyce: Okay. Does anyone have any questions on All About Lights? Sidney: Just one question. I was looking on the PUD plan and it looks like there is a spot where they show a development sign for Arboretum Business Park being placed on the corner of this particular lot. Is this true? Do you anticipate having a sign on your property? Because if that's the case, then I think... Bob Davis: On the development plan? Sidney: Yes, on the PUD plan. Bob Davis: My feeling is that probably wouldn't go in until Highway 41 is connected to Coulter. Sidney: Well I'm still saying, in that case it would interfere with your landscaping. The landscaping you have...I'm not sure where the placement might be. Bob Davis: Well I think we can coordinate that with staff and if that's a reality that's going to happen fairly soon, then some of this landscaping should be moved to some other location. Sidney: Yes. And I want to see about adding that to condition 4. That to revise the landscaping plan for the trees and placement of the development sign. 17 Planning Commission Meeting- June 3, 1998 Bob Davis: Okay. Aanenson: What we can do is check with the underlying developer and see if that's still their intent. That's a good point but we can resolve that and see if the developer plans on putting a sign there or not. If they are, then we'll modify the landscaping. Joyce: Any other questions about All About Lights? Blackowiak: I have one question. Currently what type of area for floor space do you have for retail sales over on Park Drive? Tom Christensen: We really don't do retail sales. We are wholesale only. We don't do retail sales. Blackowiak: I've been over there and gone into the showroom and talked about ordering lights and. Tom Christensen: Are you remodeling your home? Blackowiak: Actually it was my mother. She was just looking for a light. So we went into your showroom. I was just curious... Tom Christensen: ...we don't cater to retail. We don't advertise to retail. Our business is to supply to builders. So basically when a person is building a new home they come to us...buy fixtures for lighting for their home. Blackowiak: Right. So I as a retail customer could come in and buy fixtures? Tom Christensen: If you want to, yes. We don't turn them away. Blackowiak: Okay. So what type of a retail or what type of a showroom floor do you have right now space wise? Tom Christensen: 1,800 square feet. Blackowiak: 1,800, okay. So then, and I guess I might be getting ahead of myself a little bit too Kate because right now I look at development standards talk about 20%and if this is 11,000, that's 2,200 square feet of retail, or I don't know. Maybe you don't want to say retail. I don't know why but. Generous: Showroom. Blackowiak: Showroom space. So you're going from 1,800 to 2,200. Would outdoor showroom space be considered in that too? 18 Planning Commission Meeting - June 3, 1998 Tom Christensen: The outdoor is not, that is not going to be a showroom outside. That is going to be an area where people can go outside...and at night we can have just basically they can see what outdoor lights, landscape lighting can do for their landscape. Blackowiak: Well I'm just kind of worried because you know you've got the 20%restriction and I'm just wondering how that's divided up. You know if you're going to, if you're considering outdoor, which it sounds like you are, that that is part of it and again,maybe I'm getting ahead of myself so. Joyce: I don't even know how to handle it because...I'm not interested in looking at the outdoor portion and I guess...what you see is what you get. Aanenson: But there is still a condition on the showroom part. Generous: They would be able, as part of this building approximately 11,000 of the total building can be showroom. Blackowiak: Okay, so does that limit any one tenant or could one tenant be totally showroom? Yeah, exactly. Generous: Conceivably yes. Blackowiak: Okay. So he could, okay. That's what I was curious about. It was like 20% per tenant or total. Generous: The design standards are written for the entire building. Blackowiak: Okay. And the intent was. Aanenson: To be not retail. It was supposed to be an industrial park. There were specific conditions that the Planning Commission and the Council put in that you would be limiting retail type uses and it was a short list but... Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. Joyce: Allyson. Brooks: I guess now I'm confused. We're not supposed to have retail but we have retail, is that what you're telling me? Generous: Not their primary use. They're a wholesaler. Direct to the builder if you will. Brooks: So we consider that different? Because they're selling to different people. 19 Planning Commission Meeting- June 3, 1998 Generous: Yes. Brooks: This is why it would be good to have this in the beginning. I guess that's my only question. Joyce: Okay, thank you. We can move on to the second...that's On the Level. Chris Thompson: I'm Chris Thompson from On the Level. I live at 110 Choctaw Circle in Chanhassen. I've been in business for 13 years. Single family homes. I'll be doing some office out of this and storage area for my business and be leasing the majority of the space to other tenants. I think the only question we have is the item regarding the berm on the northeast corner of the building. We're already, I believe and Dave you might, I think you said 8 feet drop to the other property. If we add another 6 feet to that, that might be a possible erosion problem and I don't feel the berm is necessary...trees. Joyce: Dave, do you want to discuss that item. Hempel: Mr. Chairman, I can address that. The area of the berm that I was recommending was back in this triangular section. To try to break up the mass of the building and also some screening from potentially Highway 5 which will actually be about the same elevation as Highway 5. It is quite a ways away but if you drive down Highway 5 now, you can see quite a distance... The area was right back in here... Joyce: Is there any question about erosion? Hempel: As the grading plan has it all flat. The slopes are...the property line here. 3:1 slopes are out here. This whole area is basically flat as proposed in the grading plan. You also bring the grading back up to lessen the slope... It's just an idea to try and help break up the view from Trunk Highway 5. Chris Thompson: It isn't a big issue. The other thing too is, the office complex that would be going on the adjacent lot would also be blocking that view from Highway 5. Hempel: They'll be quite a bit lower. ...grading plan for the adjacent site but it is quite a bit lower. With a large building, 24 feet, it may help screen some of that. We won't know until we actually see what comes in. Joyce: Okay? Chris Thompson: Okay. Bob Davis: In case you're forgotten, I'm Bob Davis. If you look at it, it's across...Coulter, TH 41 and Highway 5. All About Lights is on this lot. We've now gone across the street to this lot here. The subject question was berming back here in the corner. It was our understanding that this lot in the corner was saved for a major client, a large size and that property we anticipated to 20 Planning Commission Meeting- June 3, 1998 screen this loading dock and we had oriented the loading dock...corner away from TH 41 and away from Coulter. Let's go then to the floor plan here. To pick up the orientation again. Coulter, cul-de-sac, Highway 41 and this is the adjacent property to the north. We have...we have an L shaped building. The loading dock ends back in here so we are protecting it from the street here...the screening of the loading dock. Here again we're bringing out the building...part back here. Half of it's screened already from the building side. We're using the same colors. We're using the same materials. There are some differences in these buildings. We pick up the elevation... If you look at A3, the building on the... You can see the window pattern is different than the other building,particularly the corner window has a decorative pattern to it and the, if you go back to the southern length,you see the end window on each end of the building has a decorative pattern. You see this window here on the corner has quite a different pattern. These windows then are the same width but they're a different pattern than the other building. These windows are lower the backs at the other end of the building on the south elevation. We pick up a decorative window on each end of the building. The entrances are quite similar in both buildings. We again use the 8 x 8 and 8 x 16 and 16 x 16 pattern of block. Any other things we need to pick up? I think some of the elevations were carried over, subject to carry over from the other building presentation so I think I'll go onto questions then at this point. Joyce: Okay. Any questions regarding On The Level? Burton: I have a question for staff actually. It's sort of the same question I asked earlier. Why, to me, to my untrained eye these two buildings are virtually identical and the one building has this corner treatment and you suggested...comer treatment on this one you don't. I think that would be noticeable... I don't know if the intent is to make them look different or if you'd like them to look the same or why...why you want it on one but not the other. Joyce: Your intention is to? Generous: To continue that same condition. Joyce: Can you help us out here Bob? Bob Davis: Well our intention is that that pattern would be on this corner, this corner and this corner. The three street corners. Maybe you can clarify. Are you asking for the other three corners? Generous: Yes. Bob Davis: I have not shown that...intended to put it there. Generous: That was the, on both of them would be the same idea that you continue every outside corner. Bob Davis: Okay. That may be the only difference we have. This is about...area back here but there's, I think there's about a 14 foot drop in grade from this somewhat flat area down here. 21 Planning Commission Meeting- June 3, 1998 That was...didn't think he wanted to grade the grade, actually this is on an adjacent property, the 14 feet. Another 6 feet higher adjacent... Hempel: ...recommending an isolated berm. Undulating berm out in this area in here. A spot berm. Undulating with landscaping on top of it to try and break up... landscaping here on top of the berm. Not a continual berm along the whole back corner. Bob Davis: I think you're saying you're comfortable with that. ' Chris Thompson: Correct. Bob Davis: Now we'll just ask for any questions. Joyce: Okay. Anything else from anyone? I'll get back to my original question. Have we decided how we're going to pull a sidewalk out to the boulevard here? Bob Davis: I don't think we have but I don't think, the condition is we need to do it. The sidewalk appears to go on the south side of the road. I think we're talking about crossing over the grass, what would be the boulevard between the curb and the parking with a length to get across to the sidewalk to the south. Joyce: Excuse me, are we going to have a sidewalk on both sides of Coulter Boulevard? Hempel: Mr. Chairman,just one on the south side. Bob Davis: There's a sidewalk on the west and south side of the building so my suggestion would be, I think we can agree and accept the language that we need somewhere a link for the person walking along the sidewalk to cross over the grass area and get to the sidewalk proposed on the other side of the street. Where that goes I think staff and engineering will work out. Joyce: Thank you. Okay, thank you very much. Appreciate it, thank you. This is open for a public hearing. Can I get a motion please to do that please? Items 3 and 4 are open for a public hearing. Would anyone like to address the Planning Commission at this time on either of the, All About Lights or On The Level,please step forward. Seeing none,may I have a motion to close the public hearing. Conrad moved, Sidney seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Joyce: Thank you. Allyson Brooks. Brooks: Well, I want to say that even though we're sort of debating the retail or retail issue, I do like the idea of keeping the business in Chanhassen. You know I think we really need to promote that and respect that. The buildings are okay. In terms of corner treatment where the loading docks are, I guess I don't, I mean it would be nice but I don't have a big issue with that because 22 Planning Commission Meeting- June 3, 1998 this is a loading dock area. Other than you know in the future if I could just get the information on what the businesses are again because of the All About Lights, that would be great. Other than that, oh the other thing I also was going to say was, Kevin I don't think you're going to get your campus feel. I don't see it coming your way. Joyce: I've had a problem with this development... Brooks: I think it's a pretty straight forward office industrial park. But however, other than the comments I just made, I don't have any other problems with the project. Joyce: Thank you. Alison Blackowiak. Blackowiak: I guess I really don't have much to say. No, nothing I guess. Joyce: Do you have any problems with, ...contention with All About Lights as far as, well both of them because... The rock face situation. Blackowiak: I think that. Joyce: The suggestion is to have it on the four corners. Blackowiak: Yeah. I would say,at a minimum on the four corners, and even each outside corner I don't think would be that much more expensive. You're talking about an 8 x 8 inch block versus a 16 x 16. I mean the multiples are there. It's not that big a deal to take two 8's on and put a 16 in so I don't buy the saw in argument really. So I really don't think it would be that much of a difference. Again, at least at a minimum four corners. Preferably each outside corner. And the berming. I guess we have to do both don't we. Are we talking about both of these right away? Joyce: Yes, we're talking about both. We'll have two motions but yeah. Blackowiak: Okay. Then I do want to say on the On the Level. Joyce: I'm sorry. Allyson, did you want to make a comment on the second one at all? Should I come back to you? Brooks: Oh, on the berm. I think we should go with the berming idea. Joyce: I apologize for that. Brooks: That's fine. I should have... Joyce: Thank you. 23 Planning Commission Meeting - June 3, 1998 Blackowiak: Yes, I agree. And if we're going to talk about On the Level too, then I agree that we do need some type of berm undulating from, I realize there might be a difference in elevation but we don't know when that corporate person will come in so I think in the interim we have to have a berm there and fully support that. Joyce: Thank you Alison. Ladd. Conrad: I have nothing else to add. I do like, for big buildings these are, I like the design. I think staff report's fine. I think the berming on the second issue makes some sense to me. I like it. When you take a look at the elevation,the other,the two other street and south elevations are quite nice and then take a look at the other elevation from the loading dock and I think it's done nice inside. I think Bob commented on the corners. I have to go with Bob's recommendation on this unless the applicant can come in and give us a specific reason cost wise why it shouldn't happen. I think it's a nice touch. I think it will help in some areas that possibly need some help but other than that, I think it's fine. Both of them... Joyce: Thank you. Matt. Burton: On the All About Lights project, I guess the only real issue here that recommendation 3. And on the first question, I think they've agreed it'd be the treatment on the four corners on the first item so that doesn't seem to be an issue. The only one that's really an issue is the second one above the doorway and on the third one they said they're already doing it. On the doorway, I don't really have a problem if you left it the way it was. Then the only other comment on that one was I suspect the retail in your showroom issue, I don't really believe is before us so I think, it seems to me it's more of a showroom but I guess it's not really an issue here. Then on the second building, the On The Level building. As long as we have the condition about the corners, and I would limit it to just the three. And on the first one, it mentions the four corners...not the loading dock corners. And I guess with those items, I was fine with it. Joyce: And...on both All About Lights and On the Level. You're talking about both buildings on four corners? Burton: I think that the On the Level building really needs to have the three. Joyce: Oh, the three corners. Okay. Burton: Yeah. And then on the berm issue, I would agree with the staff recommendation of the berm. Joyce: LuAnn. Sidney: Well I like the design of the building. I think that architecturally it is very pleasing for that type of building. I think it was well designed. I agree with Ladd's comments that I'd like to have a condition to include all corners in the treatments that Bob is suggesting. The reason I say that is because for the PUD we have design standards. We're looking for a higher design 24 Planning Commission Meeting - June 3, 1998 standard for these buildings and I think you should at least,as a commission, I'd like to keep the four corners in this condition to City Council. They might tear it down or might agree with it. But I do think that it does add more interest to the building and as Bob has recommended in the staff report. I guess other than that, berming is fine. I agree with the comments about that. I'll just point out then concern about that sign and then the impact of Highway 41 on any landscaping that might be coming on the development. I'm not sure when that's going to happen. It may never happen in my lifetime but it might wipe out all your trees if they start grading so you might put that into consideration. Joyce: My comments basically echo most of what the commissioners have said. I don't have a problem with either project. I will probably suggest that you leave in the condition number 3 and if you feel strongly against that I'd definitely bring it up to City Council. I agree with Ladd that if there are some economic factors that you can show that makes sense as to why you shouldn't have the entire building have the same architectural design...please bring it up to the Council but I'm comfortable leaving it as a staff recommendation on that. I also agree with Dave. I think we need a berm in there. I know the view shed. You can see right through almost to Highway 41. Who knows when the rest of it will be developed. So I'd have to agree with the staff in that regard too. The only issue that I do have and it's a general issue is, I had a higher expectation for this development to be perfectly honest with you. I really did. And it's not, I don't see it coming along. I thought we'd have more sidewalks. It's be more integrated and I just, I don't like the way it's kind of being piece mealed put together. As a planning commissioner I think we should have a vision of what this is going to be and I hate to use the term campus feel but I think we're losing it here. I think we're getting just a bunch of businesses. It's going to be a business park and that isn't what I bought in on as far as the PUD. I'm just making that statement. That's the way I feel about it and I'm hoping that other project will come in and we can try to integrate this development into something that is integrated rather than just pieces of businesses all over and they're just a business park treatment. So we need two motions here to send this up to City Council. We'll start with the All About Lights. Please make a motion. Conrad: I make the motion that Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan 98-10, All About Lights prepared by Design I dated 4/30/98 subject to the 14 conditions of the staff -report.
