PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is proposing to replat four lots from the First Addition into five lots and vacate the
previous lot perimeter drainage and utility easements and dedicate new easements with this plat.
As part of the original plat, the existing farmstead was being preserved for the property owner and,
therefore, a larger than ordinary lot was preserved around the home. Currently, the property owner
is relocating outside the community and the existing house is to be razed.
The proposed subdivision complies with all city ordinance requirements. Staff is recommending
that the city approve the replat of the lots into five lots subject to the conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND
<.....
On March 10,1997, the City Council approved rezoning of approximately 37.92 acres from
Rural Residential (RR) to Single Family Residential (RSF), second reading; final plat approval
for 35 Lots, two Outlots,and associated right-of-way, Woodridge Heights Addition. The City
Council also approved the preliminary and final plat for the subdivision of 13.5 acres (Outlots A
and B, Woodridge Heights) into 10 lots and 2 outlots, Woodridge Heights 2nd Addition
On October 14, 1996, the city granted a one year preliminary plat extension for Shamrock Ridge
until November 27,1997. On August 28, 1995, the City Council approved a one year extension,
until November 28, 1996 for preliminary plat for Shamrock Ridge Addition to subdivide 37.92
acres into 45 single-family lots and a wetland alteration permit to fill and dredge wetlands
located on site.
The applicant received a Wetland Alteration Permit on October 24, 1994 for activities to fill and
dredge wetlands as part ofthe Shamrock Ridge Addition preliminary plat approval. The applicant
was granted extensions of this permit in 1995 and 1996. The applicant amended the mitigation
design to reduce tree impacts and consolidate the mitigation into one area.
GRADING
The proposed lots were graded in conjunction with W oodridge Heights. Minimal grading
activity is anticipated on Lot 5 to reduce the steep side yard slopes thereby minimizing possible
erosion problems and enhancing the topographic features of these lots. The existing tree located
on the north property line of proposed Lot 5 will be lost due to the grading activity. All other
trees outside of building pads are proposed to be saved. There was an existing home (Ryan) on
Lots 3 and 4. The home has been moved and basement will be demolished.
DRAINAGE
f
In conjunction with W oodridge Heights, all the necessary storm drainage improvements
including ponding were constructed. No additional storm drainage improvements are necessary.
Surface Water Management fees were paid with the first phase.
Woodridge Heights 3rd Addition
March 18, 1998
Page 3
UTILITIES
All of the lots have municipal water and sewer service except Lot 3. A one-inch water service
and six-inch sanitary sewer service needs to be extended from Briarwood Court to the lot. The
utility installation shall be in accordance with the City of Chanhassen 1998 Edition of Standard
Specifications and is to be completed and inspected by the City prior to the final lift of asphalt
pavement on Briarwood Court. All street restoration shall be completed within 7 days after
construction commences. One lane of traffic must be maintained at all times. The contractor
shall be responsible for providing the appropriate traffic control.
The existing home has been removed and/or demolished. The well and septic system
abandonment shall be coordinated with the City's Building Inspection Division.
The proposed replat will require the foundation drain tile for Lot 16 to be relocated to
accommodate the new lots. The normal water and sewer hook-up fees will apply and will be
collected at the time of building permit issuance. A revised as-built grading and utility plan, and
tie cards that reflect correct lot numbers and plat name shall be supplied to the City upon
completion of the utility work.
STREETS
Street access is provided from Briarwood Court.
PARKS AND RECREATION
The proposed plat shall pay an additional park and trail fee for the additional one Lot. Parks and
trail fees for the 3rd Addition shall be paid at the rate in effect at the time of building permit
application.
LANDSCAPING AND TREE PRESERVATION
Tree removal resulting from the lot split will not affect the total replacement or reforestation
totals for the development. However, the additional lots will be required to have one deciduous
tree planted in the front yard setback area corresponding with the landscape plan for the other
homes on Briarwood Court. Staff's only concern relates to the landscaping proposed for Lot 1,
Block 3 since the lot split results in a reduction of 10 feet in the width of the landscape area
bordering Lake Lucy Road. The applicant may not reduce landscaping in this area and will need
to prove that tpere will be sufficient room for the plant material and still allow the homeowner
access to the side yard.
MISCELLANEOUS
The lots are subject to a development contract under the plat of Wood ridge Heights. This new
plat will require an addendum to the development contract to include this phase and any
conditions of approval. The addendum to the development contract will be considered at the
Woodridge Heights 3rd Addition
March 18, 1998

time of final plat approval. The rep1at will require the vacation of easements of record, i.e. side
yard drainage/utility easements.

Dear Bob:
Attached is my review for Woodridge Heights 3" Addi!ioo landscaping and tree preservation. Included are the
following documents: Landscaping Requirement spreadsheet; Section nfEG Rod Tree Plan obtained from the
City; and Section of Wood ridge Heights Landscape Plan.
A few notes regarding my spreadsheet calculations:
· The total site area of Wood ridge Heights 3rd Addition is 113,364 SF.
· The rough area of the wetland to be deducted is 14,400 SF leaving a net area of98,964 SF,
· The existing canopy coverage includes all of the trees around the fonner Ryan home as well as the 34 trees
installed by Centex as indicated on the landscape plan for Woodridge Heights. I have used the noted areas
from the City's copy of the Rud plan. Also, I have assumed a canopy of 1089 SF/tree for the Centex
installed trees, consistent with the city ordinance.
· Using the above numbers, the Base Line Canopy Coverage equates to 57%. Using the City Matrix for
Low Density Residential, the Minimum Canopy Covemge should be 35% or 34,637 SF. Due to the high
number of trees planted with Woodridge Heights, we have surpassed the Landscaping Requirement by 20
trees.
· We anticipate a canopy loss of approximately 6,520 SF. This would include the clump maple to the south
of the Ryan home, the tree pines to the northeast of the Ryan home and one pine behind the Ryan home.
All other trees will be saved. Using the City's replacement calculation, seven trees would be required for
replacement.
· If I understand the ordinance correctly, no additional trees would be required for landscaping or
replacement purposes.
Please review my calculations and let me know ifthere are any errors or inconsistencies. I can be reached at
4 I 6-2 I 77. Thank you.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - INFRASTRUCTURE.
Joyce: What we're going to do is have staff give us their presentation on the comprehensive plan
and this is not a public hearing. However, if people in the audience would like to step up and
make any kind of comment after their presentation, and after our discussion, I'll open it up for
that. Okay?
Aanenson: Thank you. Let me just follow through with your thoughts Kevin and explain where
we've been and where we're going with this process. Again this is a continuation of the
comprehensive plan update. The first time you saw this, it was more in an issue paper format.

Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item.
Joyce: Are there any questions for the staff at this time?
Sidney: I guess Bob I was wondering if you could explain, I didn't quite understand when you
talked about a reduction of 10 feet in width to the landscape area. What that concern was.
Generous: A reduction of 10 feet what?
Joyce: On Lake Lucy Road.
Sidney: Yeah in the width of the landscape area. That's on page 3 at the bottom.
Generous: Dh they were, our city forester was concerned that they be able to provide all the
landscaping that they showed within the original subdivision within that area.
