PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
There are two actions being requested with this application, a subdivision and a site plan review
for two office buildings. The site is zoned lOP, Industrial Office Park and bordered by Highway
5 to the north, CSM Phase II office warehouse buildings, and Lake Drive East to the south. The lot
area of the office/warehouse sites are 1.82 acres for the easterly lot (Lot 1) and 1.64 acres for the
westerly lot (Lot 2). The site is visible directly from Highway 5 and has full access from Lake
Drive East.
The subdivision request consists of subdividing 3.46 acres into two lots. Lots 1 and 2 will
contain the proposed office buildings. The subdivision request is a relatively straightforward
action.
The site plan is for the two office warehouse buildings. The buildings (referred to as Buildings A
and B) are well designed. Though similar in design and materials, they vary in color and overall
facade design. Both buildings are proposed to utilize shades of face brick on all four sides. At
the Planning Commission meeting, staff pointed out that the shades of brick used on the
two new buildings might not give the level of contrast desired and that the applicant should
investigate other options. These alternatives will be provided at the meeting. Decorative
pre-colored rockface block will be integrated into the walls, accented by pre-colored masonry
bands. A pitched roof element is proposed above each building. This is the identical element
found on buildings Phase I, II, and III. Staff addressed this issue with the applicant and was
informed that other alternatives will be investigated such as creating a more pronounced entrance
with a pitched element. This could result in a better design alternative. The applicant
submitted a revised drawing that reflects a triangular canopy at each entrance. It has a
modern look and is an acceptable alternative. The Planning Commission asked the
applicant to investigate other colors for the canopy. The applicant is proposing to use the
same color teal currently used on CSM phase I and II. At the time of writing this report, Vie
had not seen final design drav:ings on the oanopy, however, the applicant '::ill be presenting
re'/ised plans at the meeting.
The buildings are office buildings with no proposed loading dock. Parking is proposed along the
east west and south of the proposed buildings. These spaces are screened by a 3 to 4 foot height
berm. Highway 5 has an elevation of936 along the west end of the site and slopes down as it
continues east bound. The ':/esterly portion of the berm v:ill not provide adeqt:late soreening of
the parking lot along Highway 5. Staff reoommeBds the berm. be inereased a miniflRlm of 2 feet
in height along the north\vest corner of the site. Staff had indicated concern in some areas
where the berm needed to be increased in height. The applicant has revised the grading
plan and increased the height of the berm to provide adequate screening of the parking lot.
Plantings are being used in strategic locations along the berm and highway to maximize
screening of the parking lot, however, until these trees mature, the parking lot will be visible.
CSM Corporation Phase ill
May 26, 1998
Page 3
This area is in the highway corridor which uses the underlying district for setbacks. The parking
as proposed including the screening meets the Highway 5 zoning district requirements once the
height of the berm is increased. These buildings will require 125 parking spaces. The spaces
were designed surrounding the buildings. They are broken by landscape islands and screened
from views from Highway 5 and Lake Drive East by berms and vegetation. There is a maximum
of two rows of parking at any given location.
The site landscaping is generally of high quality, howe'/er, species selection eiffers from the
original plantiag sched\:lle Msee for the first three C8M Emildings in that the variety has been
redMced. To h8:'/e contiaMity bety/een the phases, repetitiea of seme efthe beulevare plantings
along Lake Driye cOMld be done. Staff recommends the applicant use the planting schedule from
the approved landscape of previous phases to select some species to repeat in current plan.
Staff regards the project as a reasonable use of the land. The overall design is sensitive to the
Highway 5 corridor's image. Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending approval of the
site plan, without variances, and the subdivision request, with conditions outlined in the staff
report.
BACKGROUND
On September 9, 1996, the City Council approved Site Plan Review #95-18 for CSM Phase II to
construct 2 office warehouse buildings. The proposal also included approval of Subdivision #95-
18 which divided 7.65 acres into 2 lots. Lot 1 contains a building while Lot 2 is vacant. The
applicant wishes to divide Lot 2 into two lots and build two smaller office buildings rather than
one large office warehouse building, which is the proposal before you. As a condition of site
plan approval, the applicant will be required to officially withdraw his site plan approval for
Building 2 of Phase II for Chanhassen East Business Center 2nd Addition.
GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE
The proposed office buildings, with an area of 12,727 square feet and 15,005 square feet, will be
situated parallel to and south of Highway 5. The site is bordered by Highway 5 to the north, and
Lake Drive East to the south. Access to the buildings is proposed from Lake Drive East. Parking
will be located along the east, west and south sides of the buildings. A meandering berm with
landscaping, 2 to 4 feet in height, is proposed to be installed along the perimeter of the site to
provide screening. This berm 1.TH::1st be mereasee ia aeight to a minitm:1m ef 1 feet te maximize
screeaiag of the parking lot from Highwaj' 5. As mentioned in the summary section, the
grading plan has been revised to increase the height of the berm and provide the proper
screening.
CSM Corporation Phase ill
May 26, 1998
Page 4
The buildings are located 30 feet from the north, 110 feet from the east, 68 feet from the south,
and 115 feet from the west property line.
Materials used on the both buildings are face brick on all four sides of both buildings.
Decorative pre-colored rockface block will be integrated into the walls, accented by pre-colored
masonry bands. A pre-colored pitched roof element is proposed on each building, which is
identical to that found on the CSM buildings Phase I and II. The applicant is proposing to
change the color of face brick of the two new buildings by using two new colors. At the
Planning Commission meeting, staff pointed out that the shades of brick used on the two
new buildings might not give the level of contrast desired and that the applicant should
investigate other options. These alternatives will be presented at the City Council meeting.
The design should be taken a step farther with a different pitched element that is compatible with
the first two phases, yet have its own character. The applicant suggested a pitched element over
the entrances into the buildings. This could be a reasonable solution, however, at the time of
writing this report, revised plans were not available. The applicant submitted a revised
drawing that reflects a triangular canopy at each entrance. It has a modern look and is an
acceptable alternative. The Planning Commission asked the applicant to investigate other
colors for the canopy. The applicant is proposing to use the same color teal currently used
on CSM phase I and II. Revised arohitectural ele':atioHs ",:ill be presented at the Planning
Commission meeting. The building's architecture is tastefully designed and meets the standards
of the site plan ordinance requirements. The different colors and materials give the building the
desired visual appeal. As mentioned earlier, two new colors are being introduced to break up the
continues wall created by the first two phases. There is a color contrast between the two
building that will allow them to blend in with the rest of the development yet stand out as
unique structures.
This development falls within the Highway Corridor Overlay and must comply with the district's
design standards in addition to the Industrial Office Park Standards. The purpose of the overlay
district is to promote high-quality architectural and site design through improved development
standards within the corridor. The design standards should create a unified, harmonious and high
quality visual environment. The plan and design of the proposed development meets the intent
of the overlay district with the following features:
· The buildings will be one story and the architectural style is unique to the building but
will fit in. The buildings will provide a variation in style through the use of brick, block,
glass, and pitched roof elements. The buildings are utilizing exterior materials that are
durable and of high quality. Samples of the materials will be available at the meeting.
· The site slopes easterly and grading of the site is required. The landscaping plan provides
a variety of plant materials that are massed where possible, particularly along Highway 5.
The berms and landscaping materials will be continuous along the perimeter of the site.
CSM Corporation Phase ill
May 26, 1998
Page 5
The plant materials are repetitious in some locations and variable in others. Proposed
plant materials are indigenous to Minnesota. A curb is required along the perimeter of
the green space area. All planting areas are adequate in size to allow trees to grow. The
berm along Highway 5 will need to be increased in height.
. A parking lot light plan is required. The plan should incorporate the light style and
height. A detailed sign plan which include the lighting method has not been submitted.
However, the same sign criteria that governs CSM Phases I and II will be applied to
Phase III. Facade signage will be raised backlit letters, within a consistent band above the
face brick entries. All signage will be uniform color with letters at maximum of 2 feet
and logos at a maximum of 30 inches.
. The site plan shows a trash enclosure located between the two sites. The materials are
similar to those used on the exterior of the building. Shrubs are proposed along the south
side of the trash enclosure. This treatment must be repeated along the north portion of the
trash enclosure. Current state statutes require that recycling space be provided for all new
buildings. The area of the recycling space must be dedicated at the rate specified in
Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) 1300.4700 Subp. 5. The applicant should
demonstrate the required area will be provided in addition to the space required for other
solid waste collection space. Recycling space and other solid waste collection space
should be contained within the same enclosure.
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;
(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 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;
CSM Corporation Phase III
May 26, 1998
Page 6
(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: The proposed development is consistent with the City's Highway 5 corridor
design requirements, the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, and the site plan
review requirements. The site design is compatible with the surrounding development. It
is functional and harmonious with the approved development for this area.
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.
CSM Corporation Phase ill
May 26, 1998
Page 7
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 ofChanhassen'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 an
addendum to the development contract to include this 3rd phase and an individual site plan
agreement be prepared.
CSM Corporation Phase ill
May 26, 1998

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.
The City's parking ordinance for office warehouse buildings requires a total of 125 spaces for
both buildings combined. The applicant is providing 129 spaces.
The Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) requires that accessible parking spaces be provided
at the rate of one accessible space per every 25 spaces in the lot(s). This calculates out to 5
spaces. The submitted site plan includes eight accessible parking spaces.
MISCELLANEOUS
The preliminary plat proposes replatting a portion of Phase II. The final plat name shall be
changed to Chanhassen East Business Center 3rd Addition (Lots 1 and 2, Block 1). There is an
existing site plan agreement that needs to be amended to relate to this proposal.
LANDSCAPING
The landscaping plan submitted by the applicant is providing a total of 104 trees; 29 overstory,
46 ornamental, and 29 evergreen trees. Species selection differs from the original planting
schedule used for the first three CSM buildings in that the variety has been reduced. To have
continuity between the phases, repetition of some of the boulevard plantings along Lake Drive
could be done. Staff recommends the applicant use the planting schedule from the approved
landscape plan from previous phases to select some species to repeat in current plan.
CSM Corporation Phase ill
May 26, 1998
Page 9
The applicant meets the minimum requirements for parking and buffer yard landscaping.
However, buffer yard landscaping along Hwy. 5 requires the use of shrubs and the applicant has
not proposed any in that area. In reviewing the landscape plan for CSM 1-3, staff noted that
shrubs were not used there either. Berms were installed as a means of screening the parking and
are also being used in this development as well. Visibility from Highway 5 into the parking lots
of the first phases is still an issue, and therefore staff recommends shrubs be added to the
landscaping along the highway. To their credit, applicant has used evergreens in strategic
locations to avoid direct views of any parking areas.
Parking lot island widths appear to be less than the minimum 10' required by ordinance. Staff
recommends all islands be revised to measure a minimum of 10' in width or aeration tubes must
be installed.
REFUSE COLLECTION
The site plan shows a trash enclosure located between the two sites. The materials are similar to
those used on the exterior of the building. Shrubs are proposed along the south side of the trash
enclosure. This treatment must be repeated along the north portion of the trash enclosure.
Current state statutes require that recycling space be provided for all new buildings. The area of
the recycling space must be dedicated at the rate specified in Minnesota State Building Code
(MSBC) 1300.4700 Subp. 5. The applicant should demonstrate the required area will be
provided in addition to the space required for other solid waste collection space. Recycling space
and other solid waste collection space should be contained within the same enclosure.
LIGHTING
Lighting locations for the parking lot are illustrated on the plans. Only shielded fixtures are
allowed and the applicant shall demonstrate that there is no more than 12 foot candles of light at
the property line as required by ordinance. A detailed lighting plan should be submitted when
building permits are requested. Accent lights are located above entry ways into the buildings.
Street lights consistent with Lake Drive East will be at 200 feet intervals, staggered from one side
to the other.
SIGNAGE
The applicant has Bet submitted a signage plan. One ground low profile business sign is
permitted per lot. The area of the sign may not exceed 80 square feet and a height of 8 feet.
Also, one wall mounted sign per business shall be permitted per street frontage. The total display
area shall not exceed 15% of the total area of the building wall upon which the signs are
CSM Corporation Phase III
May 26, 1998
Page 10
mounted. No sign may exceed 90 square feet. Staff is recommending the same criteria be
followed as Phases I and II.
Sign Criteria:
I. All businesses within a single building shall share one monument sign. One
monument sign per lot. Monument signage shall be subject to the monument
standards in the sign ordinance.
2. Wall signs are permitted on no more that 2 street frontages. The letters shall be
located within a designated sign band.
3. All signs require a separate permit.
4. The signage will have consistency throughout the development and add an
architectural accent to the building.
5. Consistency in signage shall relate to color, size, materials, and heights.
6. No illuminated signs within the development may be viewed from the residential
section south and west of the site.
7. Back-lit individual letter signs are permitted.
8. Individual letters may not exceed 2 feet and logos may not exceed 30 inches in
height.
9. Only the name and logo of the business occupying the unit will be permitted on
the sign.
The applicant must obtain a sign permit prior to erecting the signs on site. One stop sign must be
posted on the driveway at the exit point of both sites. A detailed sign plan incorporating the
method of lighting, acceptable to staff should be provided prior to requesting a building permit.

SUBDIVISION
The preliminary plat proposes replatting 3.46 acres (Lot 2, Block 1, Chanhassen East Business
Center Second Addition) into two lots referred to as the east and west lots. The legal description
shall be Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Chanhassen East Business Center 3rd 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.

PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE
On April 1, 1998, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved this application. Some of
the issues that were raised dealt with the architecture of the building. They preferred the fact that
there were two smaller buildings to replace the larger structure. Though satisfied with the
materials, they wanted to see other colors for the brick since the shade of the two bricks appeared
to be quite similar. Also, they asked the applicant to investigate other options for an accent
color. The applicant was proposing to use the same teal color found on the CSM phase I and II
buildings.
The height of the berm and its effectiveness in screening the parking lot was another concern.
The applicant is proposing to increase the height of the berm by 2 feet to accomplish effective
screening. We believe this measure will be adequate.

SUBJ:
Preliminary Plat Review of Chanhassen East Business Center 3rd Addition
Land Use Review File No. 98-7
Upon review of the plans prepared by Westwood Engineering dated February 2, 1998, I offer
the following comments and recommendations:
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 pennits 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. Since this
development is not installing any public improvements it is not necessary for the applicant to
enter into a development contract with the City; however, staff docs recommend that a site plan
agreement be prepared.
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 cast (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 pennit
acconlingly.
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
The preliminary plat proposes replatting a portion of Phase 11. The final plat name shall be
changed to Chanhassen East Business Center 3rd Addition (Lots 1 and 2, Block 1). There is
an existing site plan agreement that needs to be anlended to relate to this proposal.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. The name of the subdivision shall be changed to Chanhassen East Business Center
Third Addition (Lots 1 and 2, Block 1).
2. All area<; disturbed as a result of construction activities shall be immediately restored
with seed and disc-mulched or wood-fiber blanket or sod within two weeks of
completion of each activity in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice
Handbook. All catch basins shall be protected with silt fence or hay bales until the
parking lot is paved.

PUBLIC HEARING:
CSM CORPORATION REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT OF LOT 2. BLOCK 1.
CHANHASSEN EAST BUSINESS CENTER SECOND ADDITION (3.45 ACRES) INTO 2
LOTS: SITE PLAN REVIEW OF TWO BUILDINGS (15.005 SQ. FT. AND 12.727 SQ.
FT.) AND VACATION OF AN EXISTING DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENT ON
PROPERTY ZONED lOP AND LOCATED IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF DELL
ROAD AND HWY 5. CHANHASSEN EAST BUSINESS CENTER PHASE III.
Sharmin AI-Jaff presented the staff report on this item.
Peterson: Questions for staff?
Brooks: Are you absolutely comfortable then with their landscaping plan?
Sharmin AI-Jaff: Yes. Jill, our City Forester did review the changes and she, there are minor
changes that yet need to take place but they are very simple and.
Brooks: But they will shield the view of the parking from the view?
Sharmin AI-Jaff: Not immediately. As the trees mature, yes they will be adequate. Now with
the berm, they've increased the height of the berm an additional two feet. We feel that will
provide the screening of the parking lot.
Brooks: How tall are the trees they're going to put in there?
Sharmin AI-Jaff: By ordinance the evergreens have to be a minimum of 6 feet. And the
overstory 2 Yz inch caliper minimum.
Burton: In the report you discuss the trash enclosure between the two sites and that there are
shrubs just on the south side. Has there been any modification of that or was that?
Planning Commission Meeting - April 1, 1998
Sharmin Al-Jaff: That remains as is and the last page of your staff report shows the trash
enclosure. It's materials that are identical to the building and it will be located right between the
two buildings so it's accessible by both.
Peterson: Any questions of staff?
Joyce: Just a couple quick ones. What is, in condition 13, the first part of that. The first motion
it says, meet with Building Official to discuss building plans. That's kind of vague.
Sharmin Al-Jaff: Steve Kirchman, the Building Official always requests that the applicant meet
with him to discuss industrial building plans. That's all.
Joyce: I think you duplicated two conditions in the second part. Condition 5 and 11 look like
they're the same.
Sharmin Al-Jaff: You're right.
Joyce: You're comfortable with the trash enclosure, where it's at?
Sharmin Al-Jaff: Yes. If they do add the landscaping along the side.
Joyce: I'm just wondering why we have it so close to the street. Why did we put the trash
enclosure in the middle of that, like that? What was the reason behind that?
Sharmin Al-Jaff: To have it in one area, they need an outdoor trash enclosure. Rather than
having two separate trash enclosures, we prefer to see one.
Joyce: Okay, that makes sense. I can understand that. Okay. The last thing, maybe I should
wait for the applicant but I can't see the board with the rendering there. Were they going to do
something with the entryway?
Sharmin Al-Jaff: Yes. Their original plan showed a canopy basically identical to what you see
out there today. They changed this so that there is a canopy above each entryway and it's not, it
kind of narrows down as you get to the end of, from one side ofthe entryway to the other. It's
not your typical everyday.
Joyce: I couldn't see that when it was laying down. Now I see what you're saying. I guess it's I
guess a teal color they were talking about or something like that, green?
Sharmin Al-Jaff: Right. Which is similar to what you see out there today. As far as the
material, this is the other building and to give you a comparison between the two. They plan on
doing is the south portion. Lighter color on one and darker on the other. Then the bottom
portion is the. . .
Joyce: Okay.
2
Planning Commission Meeting - April 1, 1998
Sharmin AI-Jaff: One of the concerns that we had, it's not addressed in the staff report. Is there
enough of a difference in the colors to actually be able to tell that. Those are two different
buildings. We had that experience with Mission Hills. We thought that we had different colors
but they really, you have to look very closely to distinguish between.
Joyce: This is lighter on the top and darker on the bottom where the other one's kind of all dark,
in remember correctly.
Sharmin AI-Jaff: And they're using some tile as accent.
Joyce: Okay, thanks Sharmin.
Peterson: While you're there Sharmin. One of my concerns was somewhat addressed already by
having the pitched roof. ..that's more dissimilar now than the rest of the buildings surrounding it.
Not being able to compare now the buildings that are in the first two phases, how from your
perspective, how do you compare those buildings? Is that building going to be unique or is it still
going to look substantially the same in color and texture as the buildings that are already there?
Joyce: The existing buildings have a darker brick and then there's a row of windows on the
bottom.. .on the top. If you look at these, you see the glass wall extends all the way to the top in
some areas. Then this second building is slightly different by creating an L shaped out of the
glass so they are similar yet there are some differences.
Peterson: Yeah it does. Seeing it from that distance and looking at the plans that were presented
to us, I'm a little bit concerned that there still isn't enough differentiation from the other
buildings that are there. I don't want to have a congregation of buildings that are so similar, and
particularly in the entrance to the city. I'm very concerned that they aren't differentiating enough
and I guess I'm going to look to the commissioners to really address that issue if it's adequately
enough.
Sharmin AI-Jaff: The dark brick has been eliminated altogether. As far as the color of the brick,
we are comfortable. The question becomes is there enough difference between the two colors.
Peterson: And then architecturally I think, seemingly you're convinced that architecturally the
buildings are unique enough so that getting rid of the pitched roof effectively removes that
similarity enough to create that change. Any questions of staff? Hearing none, does the
applicant or their designee wish to address the Planning Commission? If so, please come
forward and address please.
Mark Kusnierek: My name is Mark Kusnierek. I'm the Senior Project Architect for CSM
Corporation. We're located at 2575 University Avenue in St. Paul. The reason for us coming in
for this change in site plan has been from the demographics that we have studied, of the history
that we have been over saturating the area with office warehouse. We found that there's a high
number of users that want smaller office square footage from 3,000 to 5,000 square foot
3
Planning Commission Meeting - April 1, 1998
increments. So we've come to you tonight to present these two projects. Keeping smaller
buildings that were previously out there to break up large buildings down to a smaller unit. The
similarities between them, if I can address, is that the only thing that is similar in what we see is
the block color itself. That is the same block color that we used in the previous one. The brick
that is out at the other one is at the corner units and goes all the way up, just at the corners
themselves. And then projects as little arches over some of the other areas. The window patterns
themselves are much different and much larger in these office buildings than they were in the
previous ones. Also, the elimination of the truck docks. We've got them architecturally
designed all the way around the entire building to help that out. With the suggestion from staff to
eliminate the pyramid, we've come forward with the post modern canopy to help out as well.
We feel that this is a very good and clean design that could enhance the gateway to Chanhassen.
The berm itself, to help out with that. Highway 5 is below the level of the parking at that
elevation so you're going to be looking up at a 4 foot high berm with the parking behind it so we
feel that you're not going to see the cars immediately adjacent to it. If you see anything, it would
be from further beyond. With the landscaping, then that can help as well. I guess if there's any
questions I can address them now for you. Any concerns that you might have. We also have
with us tonight Tim Erklof from Westwood Engineering who is the civil engineers and
landscapers on the project if you have any questions for him. He's be welcome to answer them
for you.
Peterson: Questions of the applicant?
Sidney: I had a couple questions. I guess I was wondering, I think part of what we do on the
Planning Commission is think about the best use for office industrial areas and wondering if
there's any possibility that these buildings actually could be two story, since you're describing a
need for office space. Two story buildings are good and it would give the area more of a you
know differentiation in height of buildings and possibly some other architectural interest in that
area. Has that ever been discussed?
Mark Kusnierek: We looked at the possibility of a two story building there. The cost
effectiveness was not there to help it out, as well as you would end up with one large parking lot.
. Because of the office square footage, the codes require a higher amount of parking required than
per se the office warehouse. So you would end up, either we'd build a parking ramp to go with it
to help accommodate the larger square foot. You want to get a fair size footprint with the
building when you get into the two story buildings. And it just was not cost effective for that
site.
Sidney: For that site, okay. And then I guess I was wondering about the diversity in textures and
the materials and also color and I'm wondering if we're getting too much teal here translated
from the previous buildings to these buildings. I'm wondering if you'd considered other colors
in the scheme.
Mark Kusnierek: We did look at some other colors but we wanted some small connection back
to the original three buildings. The teal is only used in the pyramids in the first three buildings.
In this one we, 16 inch squares at each of the column locations or at the entrances it would be,
4
Planning Commission Meeting - April 1, 1998
the teal color on the metal of the lights. The accent lights at those entrances. So it's a smaller
amount with the teal canopies and so we didn't feel it was that large an amount. If you feel that
it's necessary to change the color, we're willing to work with the staff to accommodate that so.
Sidney; Okay. 1'd like to see some different options. You know a different, not that, I don't
know what the terms is in coloration but maybe a lighter teal or something that might be a little
bit different.
Mark Kusnierek: If you change in colors, it's almost a change to a different color because the
industry with the pre-finished panels themselves come in only a series of colors. Otherwise you
get into custom colors and there again they get more expensive. It gets tough.
Sidney; And then one more question before I let other people speak here. About the texture of
the brick. How different is this, what you're showing than what the previous buildings have for
textures and that's one of my concerns that we're getting too much of the same kind of texture
being repeated in these buildings.
Mark Kusnierek; The previous brick had a smoother finish to it and almost has a sheen. At
some of the bricks. They're not all uniform obviously. These are more of a natural finish to the
brick. And with the difference in the colors, we feel it can help a great deal. Also, above each of
the windows the brick is corbel so it steps back in a little bit and then we're changing with some
soldier courses and header courses as well.
Sidney: So there would be some depth.
Mark Kusnierek; There's going to be a little bit of depth and then the texture with the mortar
joints by changing the coursing. So we're adding a different texture feel to the brick itself.
Sidney; I guess my concern when I saw the original plans that you presented, you know that it
was getting to be too cookie cutter so the more we can do to differentiate these buildings, the
better I think.
Peterson: Other questions of the applicant? A couple myself. One of the conditions, number 8,
we talk about concurrent with the building permit a detailed lighting plan. What is the plans for
the parking lot lighting and/or exterior lighting? Is it exactly the same as the other phases or is it
going to be unique or not?
Mark Kusnierek: The parking lot lights will be the same as the others one which are a box
fixture that is amiable down on a 20 foot high pole. The lights on the building are different.
They're not the round fixtures that you see out there. We have submitted the lights, a cut sheet of
the lights to the staff at their request. They're more square. They're a halo light behind it with
some other squares that light forward so it's more design into it as well.
Peterson: Secondly the rooftop equipment, will that be screened in the same manner as the other
phases also?
5
Planning Commission Meeting - April 1, 1998
Mark Kusnierek: The roof top units will be screened. We have it at, I think we got a 3 foot
parapet sitting up there. We've got the parapets or the masonry's at 20 foot 6. The joist
bearing's at 17 feet. So we've got 3 feet of parapet sitting there. With the smaller office square
footage, we're not going to have real large units up there. And we do move them off the first
grid so they get more in the center of the building so you won't see them.
Peterson: Any other questions? Thank you. May I have a motion to open this to a public
hearing and a second please?
Brooks moved, Sidney seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was
opened.
Peterson: This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to address the commission please come
forward and state your name and address please. Seeing none, may I have a motion and a second
to close the public hearing.
Joyce moved, Brooks seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed.
Peterson: Commissioners, your respective thoughts. Kevin, can we start with you?
Joyce: Sure. I don't have any problem with the development. I wasn't a real big fan of it. Two
buildings that we started off with initially there, particularly as it being kind of the gateway to our
fair city but I just thought they were very large, not really very interesting to look at so, I assume
there's going to be a third large building so I guess when I saw two smaller buildings, that was a
little more appreciative of that fact. So I guess I'm in favor of it.
Sidney: I made most of my comments. I guess I feel more comfortable now after the applicant
described the materials and the design. I still would like to see some possible alternative colors.
If staff could investigate that. If it would work out. I just have a feeling like there's a little bit
too much teal going on with the buildings. Just for interest sake.
Peterson: Matt.
Burton: I agree with the comments. Most the things that concerned me seemed to be addressed
by the staff and the conditions so I feel pretty comfortable with it.
Blackowiak: I have nothing new to add.
Brooks: I think this building looks a lot nicer than the other two buildings. I don't think the
berm in front of the other two buildings is nearly high enough and I'm hoping that, I'm trusting
that this is a good, you are comfortable with the fact that this berm will protect the view and the
landscaping will protect the view because really it didn't work on the other two buildings very
well. But architecturally it's a much better building than the other two so I'm in favor of the
project. I don't worry about the teal.
6
Planning Commission Meeting - April 1, 1998
Peterson: My thoughts are, I'm concerned that the plan has really changed from an architectural
standpoint from the plan that I reviewed in our packet so I'm a little bit hesitant to approve it
because I was... was and am concerned that I really want a distinctive building as it is, as it
relates to the other phases and I think that I guess I would just ask that, and it's brought to
Council that my recommendation would be to, as they get their packets, to have... with those
changes and that they review that under the assumption, at least my preference would be to insure
that the building is distinctive and unique as it relates to the others. It's on the surface from 10
feet away. . .it seems as it is, but I would have preferred to really see the opportunity, have the
opportunity to see it more in detail. Understanding that that wasn't available tonight. Other than
that, ifmy assumptions are correct, I think. ..nice building and I like the idea of two versus one.
With that, may I have a motion and a second please.
Blackowiak: Okay I'll move that the Planning Commission recommends the City Council
