This condition has been deleted. Since no public improvements are being installed,
it is not necessary to amend the Development Contract. Individual Site Plan
Agreements will be prepared for each lot.
The applicant is requesting final plat approval to subdivide 3.46 acres into 2 lots. This
subdivision is consistent with the preliminary plat and staff is recommending approval.
SUBDIVISION
The final plat proposes replatting 3.46 acres (Lot 2, Block 1, Chanhassen East Business Center
Second Addition) into two lots referred to as Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Chanhassen East Business
Center Third Addition. The ordinance requires a minimum area of 1 acre for industrial lots.
These lots will have areas of 1.82 acres and 1.64 acres, which exceeds ordinance requirements.
The subdivision request is a relatively straightforward action. Standard drainage and utility
easements around the perimeter of all lots are illustrated on the plat.
WETLANDS
A wetland delineation report was prepared by John Anderson with wetlands data as part of the
first phase of this project. The applicant has indicated on the plan sheet that no wetlands exist on
this site. These findings have been reviewed and confirmed by both city staff and a Technical
Evaluation Panel.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
Overall, the site has been rough graded. The city approved a grading permit last year. The
grading plan proposes minimal grading in order to prepare the site for the building and parking
lot facilities. Landscaped berms are proposed along Trunk Highway 5 and Lake Drive East.
The site is designed to drain via storm sewer to the southeast where the storm water will
discharge into the existing storm drainage system in Lake Drive East. As a part of Phase I, the
applicant constructed a regional storm water pond on the southwest comer of Lake Drive East
and Dell Road. The storm water from this development will be conveyed via storm water pipes
in Lake Drive East to the regional pond for pretreatment prior to discharging into Eden Prairie.
Storm drainage calculations for the storm sewer have already been submitted to the city with the
previous plat.

EROSION CONTROL
Erosion control measures and site restoration are proposed in accordance with the City's Best
Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). The grading plan incorporates erosion control fence
(Type I) around the perimeter of the grading limits. Most of the erosion control fence has already
been installed. Rock construction entrances are proposed at the access points. Erosion control
measures shall be maintained until the parking lot areas have been paved with a bituminous
surface and the site restored with sod, seed and landscaping. Hay bales and/or rock dikes are
proposed to be installed around all catch basins and shall be maintained until the parking lots
have been paved.
UTILITIES
Individual sewer and water services will be extended through the lots from Lake Drive East. A
cross access agreement will need to be prepared to extend utility service to the west lot from the
east lot. All utilities installed outside the city's drainage and utility easements or right-of-way
shall be considered private and not maintained by the city. These utilities will be inspected by
the City's Building Department. The applicant and/or contractor shall be responsible for
obtaining the appropriate permits from the City's Building Department. The final construction
plans shall be prepared in accordance with the City of Chanhassen' s latest edition of Standard
Specifications and Detail Plates and/or state plumbing codes. In conjunction with Phase I, a
development contract was prepared and recorded against this parcel. Since this development is
not installing any public improvements it is not necessary for the applicant to enter into a new
development contract with the city; however, staff does recommend the applicant enter into
individual site plan agreements.
STREETS/P ARKING/INTERIOR CIRCULATION
The site is proposed to be accessed from two driveway access points off Lake Drive East. The
easterly access drive is proposed to be shared with the site to the east (Phase I). A cross-access
and maintenance agreement will need to be recorded against the parcel.
In conjunction with Phase I of this development, a traffic study was prepared for the intersection
of Lake Drive East and Dell Road. The traffic study revealed acceptable levels of service
through Phase I of the development and eventually a level of service "B" for the forecast year
2005, assuming a signalized intersection. Based on the traffic study, it appears a traffic signal
may be required in the future at Lake Drive East and Dell Road. The developer shall be
responsible for a share of the local cost participation of this traffic signal on a percentage basis
based upon traffic generation from full development of this site in relation to the total traffic
volume of Dell Road. A condition will be placed in the site plan permit accordingly.

A 6-foot wide concrete sidewalk exists along the north side of Lake Drive East. In conjunction
with the proposed driveway curb cuts, pedestrian ramps will need to be constructed at all access
points. The driveway access points along Lake Drive East shall be constructed in accordance
with the City's Industrial Driveway Detail Plate No. 5207.
MISCELLANEOUS
There is an existing site plan agreement that needs to be amended to relate to this proposal.
