The proposal meets the requirements of the PUD Development Design Standards and is
recommended for approval.
GRADINGIDRAINAGEIEROSION CONTROL
The existing site is about 44.75 acres in size with scattered wetlands. In addition, there are three
existing buildings on the property which will have to be razed prior to any grading operations.
The current plans show buildings with proposed floor elevations from 961-966. The applicant is
now proposing to grade about 83% of the site for the new building pads, storm pond, and a
proposed street ending with a cul-de-sac. The current plans propose eight lots located along the
proposed street and cul-de-sac.
There are a few areas of concern with the grading plan. Staff would like to see the applicant do a
better job of matching in with the existing topography of the site and maintain a side slope of 3: 1
maximum. The existing site drains toward the existing three wetlands on the northwesterly and
southwesterly comers and east side of the parcel. At these elevations, storm water from the
buildings and parking lots will drain toward the proposed catch basins and be conveyed via storm
sewer system to the proposed storm pond on the southwesterly comer of the parcel. The pond
will treat the water before discharging it to the adjacent wetland.
Staff recommends that the swale west of Lot 4 be filled in to reduce the height of or eliminate the
need for a retaining wall at this location. In order to do this, the developer must ensure that the
off-site run off from the west is diverted.
All of the ponds are required to be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP)
standards with maximum 3:1 slopes and a 10:1 bench at the NWL. The applicant is required to
meet the existing site runoff rates for a lO-year and IOO-year, 24-hour storm event. Storm sewer
sizing calculations must be submitted at the time of final plat application. The storm sewer must
be sized for a lO-year, 24-hour storm event. Drainage and utility easements must be dedicated on
the final plat over the public storm drainage system including ponds, drainage swales, and
wetlands up to the IOO-year flood level. The interior lot storm sewer will require private
easements to be dedicated where the sewer crosses from one lot to another.
The applicant must be aware that a retaining wall structure is not allowed within the public street
right-of-way. Also, any retaining wall exceeding four feet in height must be designed by a
registered structural engineer with approved safety fence and a building permit must be obtained.
Erosion control measures and site restoration must be developed in accordance with the City's
Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Staff recommends that the City's Type II
erosion control fence, which is a heavy duty silt fence, be used for the area adjacent to the
existing wetlands on the north and south grading limits of the site. Type I silt fence shall be used
in all other areas. In addition, tree preservation fencing must be installed at the limits of tree
removal. Erosion control blankets are recommended for all of the steep 3: 1 slopes with an
elevation change of eight feet or more.
Mr. Todd Gerhardt
September 29, 2005
Chanhassen West Business Park
Planning Case No. 05-23
Page 3 of 22
All disturbed areas, as a result of construction, must be seeded and mulched or sodded
immediately after grading to minimize erosion. The applicant should be aware that any off-site
grading will require an easement from the appropriate property owner. If importi~g or exporting
material for development of the site is necessary, the applicant will be required to supply the City
with detailed haul routes. A minimum 75-foot rock construction entrance must be added to the
plans at the proposed access off of Galpin Boulevard.
UTILITIES
Municipal sewer and water stubs are available to the site from Galpin Boulevard on the east side
of the parcel. The applicant is proposing to connect to the existing utility stubs and extend them
to the proposed lots to service the site. The sanitary and watermain lines that run within the
public street right-of-way and within the shared driveway between Lots 4 and 5 until the last
sanitary manhole will be considered a public utility line and the remaining will be considered
private utility. Additional gate valves are needed for the shared private watermain between any
two lots. Minimum 20-foot wide easements will be required over the public portion of the storm
sewer lines between Lots 2 and 3.
The underlying property has been previously assessed for sewer, water and street improvements
and there is no remaining assessment due payable to the City. Since the developer will be
responsible for extending lateral sewer and water service to the lots, the sanitary sewer and water
connection charges will be waived. The sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will be
applicable for each of the new lots. The 2005 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 for sanitary sewer
and $2,955 for watermain. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed
against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance.
All ofthe utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest
edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Upon completion of the utility
improvements, the utilities will be turned over to the City for maintenance and ownership. The
applicant is also required to enter into a development contract with the City and supply the
necessary financial security in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee
installation of the improvements and the conditions of final plat approval. Permits from the
appropriate regulatory agencies will have to be obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA,
Department of Health, Watershed District, Carver County, MnDOT, etc.
STREETS
The proposed development lies west of Galpin Boulevard (CSAH 19) and north of Lyman
Boulevard (CSAH 18), A-Minor Expander Arterials as identified on SRF Consulting Group
Incorporated's Functional Classification Map.
Upon City Council approval of the September 29,2005 Consent Agenda, the development is
subject to the $3,600/developable acre Arterial Collector Fee. All new developments along the
Lyman Boulevard corridor are subject to this fee. The proceeds of this fee will fund the

reconstruction of Lyman Boulevard between Audubon Road and Powers Boulevard. The
Arterial Collector Fee is calculated as follows:
40.15 acres (gross area) - 4.147 acres (area of Outlot A) - 2.125 acres (area of Outlot B) x
$3,600/acre = $121,960.80
Proposed access to the site will be from Galpin Boulevard, which aligns with Stone Creek Drive,
an existing local street extending east of Galpin Boulevard.
Staff has researched the feasibility of moving the proposed site access from Galpin Boulevard to
Lyman Boulevard in response to citizens' requests. Due to wetland conditions, any access from
the site to Lyman Boulevard would be 1,000 feet west of Galpin Boulevard. Carver County has
identified Lyman Boulevard as a regional east-west collector with limited access; therefore staff
recommends that the access to Chanhassen West Business Park remain at the Galpin
Boulevard/Stone Creek Drive intersection. This recommendation is also consistent with Section
18-57 of the City Code, which states that "access to arterial streets shall be at intervals of not less'
than one-fourth mile [1,320 feet] and through existing and established crossroads".
The developer's traffic engineer, TOI, completed an analysis of traffic and determined that right-
in, right-out access from Lyman Boulevard to the site would not significantly reduce the number
of vehicles using the Galpin Boulevard access. Based on TOI's findings, a right-in, right-out
access on Lyman Boulevard is not proposed.
SRF Consulting Group, Inc. analyzed the 2020 transportation system in conjunction with the
City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan. SRF's forecasted 2020 traffic volume for Galpin Boulevard
was based on the 2020 Land Use Map and the construction of the new Trunk Highway 212. The
proposed land use of the Chanhassen West Business Park is consistent with the 2020 land use
used in SRF's traffic analysis. SRF's report does not identify a need to upgrade Galpin
Boulevard by the year 2020.
I
Right turn lanes for north and southbound traffic exist at the Galpin Boulevard intersection with
Stone Creek Road and the proposed site access. The developer must submit an access permit to
Carver County Public Works for the proposed connection to Galpin Boulevard. As stipulated by
the Assistant County Engineer, the developer must submit information on proposed turn lanes
with the permit application.
There is one public street proposed with the project. The street is proposed as a cul-de-sac
running west of Galpin Boulevard and a private shared driveway between Lots 4 and 5. The
applicant is proposing the paved streets to be 32-feet wide with a 60-foot wide right-of-way and a
46-foot cul-de-sac paved radius. The applicant must be aware that the City's standard
commercial street pavement width is 36-foot wide from back-of-curb to back-of-curb and the
cul-de-sac must be 48-foot in radius. Staff is fine with the 24-foot wide shared driveway
between Lots 4 and 5. The developer will be required to submit inspection/soil reports certifying
that the private streets were built to a 7-ton design.
Mr. Todd Gerhardt

Chanhassen West Business Park
Planning Case No. 05-23
Page 5 of 22
Staff has concerns of movements of truck traffic accessing off Galpin Boulevard to Lots 1 and 8
being too close. Staff recommends increasing the access width to 44 feet to create a three lane
access off Galpin Boulevard and increase the turning curb radius. Also, relocate Lots' 1 and 8
easterly accesses further to the west and re-align them opposite of each other.
The applicant should be aware that, in commercial districts, six-foot wide sidewalks are required
and the parking driveway aisle must be 26-feet wide. Cross-access easements will be obtained
for the shared driveways and recorded against the lots.
PARKS AND RECREATION
Comprehensive Park Plan
The proposed Chanhassen West Business Park development is located within an area that is
outside the municipal park service boundaries of Stone Creek Park and the Chanhassen Nature
Preserve. The development shall pay full park fees 'in force at the time of final plat approval in
the amount of $359,500 (35.95 x $10,000 per acre). Parks fees for 2005 are $1O,OOO.per acre.
Comprehensive Trail Plan
The site does not contain any portion of the City's trail plan. A sidewalk connection to the trails
in Galpin Boulevard is proposed as part of the development.
LANDSCAPING
The applicant does not meet minimum requirements for the buffer yards along the south and east
property lines. Staff recommends that buffer yard plantings be increased in these areas to meet
minimum requirements.
The applicant has saved a large portion of the existing, mature oaks on site. This preservation
will add a unique feel to the site and proved the residential neighborhood to the north an added
buffer for the development. The applicant did an excellent job fitting the design to the site.

Re: Chanhassen West Business park County Water Project WP20050038
cc. Lori Haak, City of Chanhassen
Jerry Backman, Schoell-Madson
Aaron Mlynek, Carver SWCD
Robert Generous, City of Chanhassen
Enclosures: SWPPP Comments
Carver County Water Management has received plans (dated 8/25/05), SWPPP and hydrologic calculations
(dated 8/26/05) for the Chanhassen West Bus!ness Park project in the City of Chanhassen. The following
comments include review by the County, the SWCD and Wenck Associates:
Stormwater Issues:
1. The calculations for existing conditions should be resubmitted and show the effects of ponding in the
northeast wetland. The submitted calculations use sheet flow runoff from 35.74 acres to the southwest
wetland, which is not representative of the Existing Drainage figure. The increase in runoff may have
impacts on downstream and water quality treatment on site.
2. Water Quality calculations need to be submitted for review.
3. Proposed CNs for greenspace should be raised to C type soils to account for the affect of compaction.
4. Downstream capacity of the southwest wetland (Outlot A) should be submitted.
5. The outlet of the northwest wetland (Outlot B) should be submitted.
6. Rainwater Gardens/Infiltration - Additional details are needed including:
· Documentation should be submitted for the volume provided for infiltration. Several basins are
noted on the plans, but no calculations are provided.
· Soils used (sand fill or rock fill, 50% clean sand, 25% loamy topsoil, 25% compost)
· Cross-sections
· Erosion control blanket and type
· Timing of installation (after contributing area is stabilized).
· To reduce initial degradation of basins, It is recommended plugs, shrubs and grasses are used
in addition to the 'rainwater garden seed mix'.
Erosion and Sediment Control: (please contact Aaron Mlynek at the Carver SWCD at 952.442.5101 for
questions or assistance on this section)
Erosion Control
1. Stable EOF's are needed for the proposed pond on site. The EOF should be clearly labeled on the
plan and a detail is needed. The EOF can be stabilized with a turf re-enforcement mat or fabric and
riprap.
2. Erosion control blanket should be specified in the swale from the FES to the wetland along the west
boundary of the site. The blanket specified should adequately protect the area from designed velocity
and depth of flow. The blanket and seed in the swale should be installed within 24 hours of culvert
installation. All blanket on the plan should be shown as a shaded area.
3. Erosion control blanket is recommended for the pond slopes from around 952 to 942 contours. All
blanket on the plan should be shown as a shaded area.
4. Erosion note number 5 should include 2 tons of mulch per acre with seed for stabilization; seed alone is
not considered stabilization.
5. All curb cuts need riprap and fabric or sod installed within 24 hours of curb installation.
Sediment Control
1. Temporary sediment basins are needed prior to disturbing upslope areas. The areas of temporary
sediment basins should be labeled on the plan. A temporary outlet is needed for the pond; details
should be provided. A temporary outlet could consist of a perforated riser and rock cone. Temporary
basins are needed in the area of the proposed permanent stormwater pond; the SE corner of the site
prior to discharging to the culvert under Galpin.
2. The Wimco inlet control detail proposed will work for all curbside inlets. Any and all area inlets or drop
inlets in paved areas will need alternate controls / Wimco details. The engineer should check on
altemate designs for Wimco-type inlet controls to fit the various type of inlets.
3. Additional inlet controls may be needed for adjacent inlets on Galpin and Street A.
4. Silt fence will be needed around Outlot A along the east side between the pond the wetland.
5. Silt fence needed for Lot 5, Outlot B.
6. Silt fence needed north of berm in Lot 6 as there is a FES taking water north off site.
7. Silt fence needed south of Lot 1.
8. Each building site will need perimeter controls once the streets are paved and rock exits will be needed
as each lot is built-out.
9. Type 1 and Type 2 silt fence locations need to be specified on the plan. Type 2 should be installed
around all wetland areas and in the SE comer of the site to protect the culvert under Galpin. The SF
should be extended along the South side to close the gap in the SF.
