13. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The development standards will remain the same as previously approved with the PUD.
a. Intent
The purpose of this zone is to create a PUD light industrial/office park. The use of the PUD zone
is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive
proposal. All utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for development
shall proceed through site plan review based on the development standards outlined below.
b. Permitted Uses
The permitted uses in this zone should be limited to light industrial, warehousing, and office as
defined below. The uses shall be limited to those as defined herein. If there is a question as to the
whether or not a use meets the definition, the City Council shall make that interpretation.
1. Light Industrial. The manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling, packaging, or
testing of goods or equipment or research activities entirely within an enclosed structure,
with no outside storage. There shall be negligible impact upon the surrounding
environment by noise, vibration, smoke, dust or pollutants.
2. Warehousing. Means the commercial storage of merchandise and personal property.
3. Office. Professional and business office, non-retail activity.
c. Setbacks
In the PUD standards, there is the requirement for landscape buffering in addition to building and
parking setbacks. The landscape buffer on Audubon Road is 50 feet, south of Lake Drive and
100 feet along the southern property line. The PUD zone requires a building to be setback 50
feet from the required landscape buffer and public right-of-ways. There is no minimum
requirement for setbacks on interior lot lines.
The following setbacks shall apply:

The applicant is requesting final plat approval to subdivide Outlot D into two lots. Lot 1 is
proposed to have an area of 2.66 acres and Lot 2, an area of 4.84 acres. This subdivision is
consistent with the preliminary plat and staff is recommending approval.
BACKGROUND
On January 13, 1992, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for the Chanhassen
Business Center as shown on the attached site plan. The PUD was amended on February 8, 1993
to allow for a church as a permitted use and the final plat for phase I of the project was approved.
On April 24, 1995, the Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition, subdividing Outlot C into 7
lots, was approved by the City.
On September 25, 1995, the City Council approved the replat of Outlot A into 4 lots, Chanhassen
Business Center 3rd Addition.
The City Council is being asked to approve the replat of Outlot D, Chanhassen Business Center
into a 2 lot subdivision.
FINAL PLAT FOR CHANHASSEN BUSINESS CENTER 4th ADDITION
The preliminary plat for Chanhassen Business Center 4th Addition was approved on April 13,
1998. As part of this application, Outlot D will be replatted into 2 lots. A building is proposed
to be constructed on Lot 2, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 4th Addition which was
approved by the City Council on April 13, 1998. This subdivision is consistent with the
preliminary plat and staff is recommending approval with conditions. Approval of the site plan
was contingent upon final plat approval ofthe Chanhassen Business Center 4th Addition by the
City Council.

The City has an 8-foot wide bituminous trail adjacent to Audubon Road through the proposed
subdivision. According to the preliminary plat, there is no trail easement recorded. Staffhas
verified that with the County Recorder that a 20-foot wide trail easement has been dedicated to
the city over the proposed lots.
In conjunction with site improvements for the subdivision, a storm sewer line is proposed to be
extended from Lot 2 to the west line of Lot 1. A drainage and utility easement shall be dedicated
on the final plat over Lot 2 for this extension. The minimum width shall be 20-feet wide. There
is an underlying development contract with Chanhassen Business Center that should be amended
to include this new 41h Addition. It is therefore recommended the developer enter into an
amended development contract with the City for this phase.
GRADING
The site was previously graded in conjunction with Chanhassen Business Center 151 Addition.
Upon review of the grading plan, it appears building and parking areas will blend into the
existing land form. The site will be re-graded to prepare the building pads and parking lot areas.
If exporting or importing of earthwork materials is necessary, a haul route and traffic control
plan will need to be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to construction
commencmg.
The site contains an existing earth berm along Audubon Road. The berm will only be disturbed
as a result of utility extensions to the project. No other berms are proposed.
DRAINAGE
In conjunction with Chanhassen Business Center, a comprehensive storm water drainage system
was constructed to address runoff from this site. No on-site ponding will be required with this
development. The plans propose on utilizing existing stormwater services to convey stormwater
runoff from the site into the City's storm drainage system. A storm sewer line will be extended
from the northeasterly driveway to Lot 1 for future service. A 20-foot wide drainage and utility
easement shall be dedicated on the final plat over this storm sewer line. Staff is aware of an
ongoing drainage problem on the Weather Bureau site as a result runoff from this property. The
drainage problem will be resolved with development of this property.
The developer has submitted detailed storm drainage calculations and a drainage area map for a
10 and 100-year storm event, 24-hour duration for staff review and approval in conjunction with
final plat consideration.

STREETS
The project is proposed to be accessed through two new driveway access points off of Lake
Drive West. Access from Audubon Road shall be prohibited. There is an existing 6-foot wide
concrete sidewalk on the north side of Lake Drive West.
All driveway access points on Lake Drive West shall incorporate the City's industrial driveway
detail apron (Detail Plate No. 5207). This will also increase the driveway radii onto Lake Drive
West. There are existing street lights along Lake Drive West that are not shown on the plans.
The developer should verify that the access points will not be in conflict with the street lights.
The applicant shall be responsible for any relocation of street lights in conjunction with site
improvements.
The conditions of approval for Chanhassen Business Center addresses future traffic signals at the
intersection of Trunk Highway 5 and Audubon Road. At that time, staff believed that the
installation of signals would be necessary in the next few years and a condition that the developer
shall be responsible for a share of the local cost participation of this signal on a percentage basis,
based upon traffic generation and full development of this site in relation to the total traffic
volume on Audubon Road. In addition, staff required security to guarantee payment of the
developer's share of the traffic signal for Phases I, II, and III. It should be worked between the
parties whose responsibility it will be to provide the security escrow for the developer's share of
the traffic signal of this phase. The City currently has escrow in the amount of$5,000 from the
developer ofChanhassen Business Center (Dirlam/Betty O'Shaughnessy) for this traffic signal.
At this point, staff will not require any additional escrow for the traffic as long as the $5,000
escrow is maintained. A traffic signal is proposed to be installed in conjunction with the Trunk
Highway 5 upgrade proposed in the 2000-2002.
UTILITIES
Municipal utility service is available from Lake Drive West and Audubon Road. The plans
propose on extending sanitary sewer and water service from Audubon Road and Lake Drive
West.
The proposed sanitary sewer and water improvements shall be installed by the developer and/or
their assignee. The utility improvements with the exception of a portion of the storm sewer will
be considered private and not maintained by the City. These utilities will be inspected by the
City's Building Department. The utility improvements shall be constructed in accordance with
the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates and/or State Plumbing
Codes.

This property has been previously assessed for sewer and water improvements under City Project
No. 91-17. However, according to city ordinance, the property may be subject to additional
sewer and water hookup charges at time of building permit issuance. Sewer and water hookup
charges are determined based on the number of sewer availability charges (SAC units) which is
determined by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services upon plan review of the
building. The applicant and/or contractor applying for the building permit will be responsible for
the sanitary sewer and water hookup charges. 1998 hookup charges for sanitary sewer and water
are $1,216 and $1,584, respectively, per unit.
LANDSCAPING
Existing conditions on site include boulevard trees planted along Audubon Road and Lake Drive
West. No tree removal will take place. Existing trees located in proposed construction areas will
be transplanted to permanent locations.
Landscaping requirements for the proposed development include buffer yard plantings along
Audubon Rd., landscaping for the parking lots, and boulevard trees along Lake Drive West.
Applicant meets or exceeds required quantities of planting materials for parking lot landscaping
(20 trees) and boulevard trees (11 trees) along Lake Drive West. Buffer yard requirements are a
minimum 30' Standard C for the 475' of frontage along Audubon. Planting totals for the buffer
yard are 10 overstory trees, 24 understory trees, and 24 shrubs. Existing trees in that area include
10 overstory trees. The remaining 24 understory and 24 shrubs will be required of the applicant
and staff proposes they be planted adjacent to the parking lot. Along Audubon Road parallel
rows of boulevard trees has been established on either side, understory and shrub planting would
interrupt the consistency of the plantings and detract from the overall design of the street
landscape. The additional required screening would work well of the west side of the parking
lot. Staff recommends the understory trees and shrubs be planted in groupings near the edge of
the parking lot.
EROSION CONTROL
The erosion control plan is in general conformance with the City's Best Management Practice
Handbook.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP)
Storm Water Quality Fees
The developer of Chanhassen Business Center has provided on-site water quality ponds m
accordance to the SWMP, therefore, these fees have been waived.

Storm Water Quantity Fees
The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average
city-wide rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land acquisition,
proposed SWMP culverts, open channels and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage.
Industrial developments have a connection charge of $4,360 per developable acre. The proposed
development would .then be responsible for a net area of 7.5 acres which results in a water
quantity connection charge of $32,700.

City Council Meeting - April 13, 1998
after.. . certain related calls then this establishment and can we do that? Roger, can we legally say that,
and there's some guidelines for this.
Councilman Engel: Do you want to or do we want to have more flexibility?
Roger Knutson: You have substantial discretion in establishing guidelines but I'd just caution you if it
were on calls, the result would be, might not be less incidents. It might just be less calls because if the
folks, and I'm just speculating. If you just told the bartenders or the people that work there, don't call, I
don't care what's happening. Drag the body next door. I think you have to look at the nature of the calls
and how they relate to a liquor activity. Certainly you look at calls if they were things like open after
hours. Serving to minors. Routine gambling. Prostitution on the premises. Those are the sort of things
that most cities look more carefully at. It says there's something wrong there because the people aren't
managing their business appropriately.
Mayor Mancino: What would the Council like to do on this?
Councilman Berquist: Well I would move that we approve the liquor license...
Councilman Mason: I would second that.
Councilman Engel: I'd actually like to wait and see the comparisons to other businesses while you do a
numerical. These numbers are fine but I've got nothing to compare them to.
Councilman Berquist: ... but there are businesses that, you know like it as we mayor may not, there are
businesses that are allowed to be open and do business in this country and I look at what's being, what's
going on there on a yearly basis, I do not see anything extraordinary given the type of business and the
clientele. That clientele has every right to be able to do what they do. Go there and have a drink and
dance and whatever else they may be involved in this that's legal. This limited number of, very limited
number in my opinion, of illegal activity. I looked at it and according to the notes it's. . . I do not see as
being extraordinary.
Mayor Mancino:...! mean that's what it says so thank you for clarifying it for me so, with that there is a
motion and a second.
Councilman Berquist moved, Councilman Mason seconded to approve the on-sale intoxicating
liquor license renewal for Chanhassen Bowl at 581 West 78th Street. All voted in favor, except
Councilman Senn who opposed, and the motion carried with a vote of 4 to 1.
REOUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLA T APPROVAL TO REPLA T 4.84 ACRES. OUTLOT D.
CHANHASSEN BUSINESS CENTER INTO TWO LOTS: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO
ALLOW TWO BUILDINGS ON A SINGLE LOT: AND SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR A 16.174 SO.
FT. AND 23.070 SO. FT. OFFICE/W AREHOUSE BUILDING WITH OUTDOOR STORAGE:
EDEN TRACE CORPORATION.
Kate Aanenson: Thank you. As you indicated, the applicant is asking for a couple requests. One, to plat
a lot from an outlot status into two lots and then also to get site plan approval. The site plan here is
shown, shows the two buildings and that has outdoor storage. I'll go through the architecture in a
minute. This is part of the Chan Business Park, which does have a PUD. The plan as proposed is
consistent with the PUD. It is bordered by Audubon Road. Because it is industrial it does have a greater
25
City Council Meeting - April 13, 1998
setback. The residences in the area would be across the street on the other side of Audubon. The
Weather Service would be on the, this side of the property.
Mayor Mancino: Where is the Weather Service?
Kate Aanenson: On this side of the property so they're not.. .then this property would be a future lot,
corner lot on Lake Drive and Audubon Road. That last lot there. So it is consistent with the application.
The Planning Commission did review this and recommended approval and along with that, with the
architecture. There is an outdoor storage area... The outdoor storage area would be fenced, is of similar
material and it does also have windows so it really doesn't look like a storage yard. Our ordinance does
allow outdoor storage but does require that it be completely screened and we believe this is a very
admirable job of the outdoor storage in the fact that it is consistent with the building. It does have the
ability in the future to be added to a building so it could be adapted to make one of the buildings larger
on the site. One of the concerns that was addressed was additional landscaping on Audubon to provide a
better buffer and that has been accomplished so with that staff is recommending approval of the final plat
of the outlot and approval of the site plan. There's also a development contract to approve.
Mayor Mancino: Quick question. If the outdoor storage area, is that area where they could roof it and?
Impervious surface, are we still under the impervious?
Kate Aanenson: Yes. We're okay, yes. Actually we balanced that over the entire site because the
Weather Service actually used minimal, there is some extra impervious on that. One of the other things I
didn't mention also was the rooftop equipment. The Weather Service does sit down lower, so from
Audubon Road this does have parapet walls so you shouldn't be able to see the rooftop equipment.
Mayor Mancino: And the building height is 18 feet and the wall height is...?
Kate Aanenson: I believe that's correct.
Councilman Berquist: .. .outdoor storage... being constructed of?
Kate Aanenson: Similar material.
Councilman Berquist: Block.
Kate Aanenson: It's the exact same. This cut face block with the integrated colors. Yeah I can maybe let
the applicant explain that but it's very nice. It will have a steel gate also.
Councilman Berquist: ... wooden sticks.
Mayor Mancino: Okay, any other questions?
Councilman Senn: Kate, what's the underlying zoning there?
Kate Aanenson: It's PUD but the underlying would be anything that's not specifically called out in the
PUD which we've adapted here showing you would be the industrial lOP standards.
Councilman Senn: But the outside storage doesn't require a conditional use then?
26
City Council Meeting - April 13, 1998
Kate Aanenson: No. What the standards say is, what it says it just has to be completely screened.
Councilman Senn: But is that because of the PUD then?
Kate Aanenson: I believe that's in our current ordinance also.
Councilman Senn: Because I thought lOP it did.
Mayor Mancino: I'm sorry, what was your question?
Kate Aanenson: Outdoor storage.
Councilman Senn: Outdoor storage as a conditional use under lOP I thought.
Mayor Mancino: .. . right here and I have...
Kate Aanenson: I can find it real fast.
Councilman Senn: You were going to act like you knew where it was. Go to lOP, that's where it is.
Mayor Mancino: No. No, I'm looking under conditional use.
Councilman Senn: No, but it's under lOP. I can tell you that.
Mayor Mancino: We'll go ahead so that we, did you have any other questions?
Councilman Senn: In terms of the, okay so then as far as the uses go here then, the uses have to conform
to the underlying lOP, right? Okay.
Kate Aanenson: Or the PUD we called specifically, like we allowed one church in there so we did call
out, in a percentage and then we did an EA W on this so it is, we have a percentage broken down on page
6. Office manufacturing, warehouse so it does meet those standards.
Councilman Senn: But specific use wise though it still falls under the lOP.
Kate Aanenson: No. That was why we did a PUD to call out specifically the percentages. The mix we
wanted in there. Anything that's not called out in the PUD would fall underneath. We don't mention
parking ratios in there. We just would go, we rely back on the underlying PUD for office standards,
excuse me, the underlying zoning lOP.
Mayor Mancino: Ifit's not called out in the PUD. But ifit is called out in the PUD, it's that precedent.
Okay, with that.
Councilman Senn: I'd like to hear the answer to the question if we could before we do something.
Kate Aanenson: Outdoor storage is a conditional use in the lOP. In the lOP.
Councilman Berquist: How did we, how was it decided that that would have an 8 foot fence?
27
City Council Meeting - April 13, 1998
Kate Aanenson: It's 12. It's 12.
Councilman Berquist: It's 12 foot? Is that addressed in, I'm asking for...
Kate Aanenson: Yes it is. It's in here. Sharmin put it in here. The findings of what the screening will
be and that it can be part of the building.
Councilman Berquist: It's 12 feet within the ordinance?
Kate Aanenson: Yes. And the intent was that it could be enclosed in the future. That's why we...the 12
feet. If someone's lease... Well the reason why we did it, it could have been one building but we felt
because it really, it looks like a building. We didn't have a problem with it. A concrete block wall with
windows in it will give you that interpretation.
Mayor Mancino: But nothing can be piled up higher than the 12 feet.
Kate Aanenson: Exactly.
Councilman Senn: It cannot be visible.
Kate Aanenson: It cannot be visible. It has to be completely screened within that so it would have to be
lower than that, correct.
Councilman Senn: Okay. What's the use or what's the outdoor storage going to be?
Kate Aanenson: I'll let the applicant, whether or not he's willing to divulge that, but let me just go back
to where the storage is.. .
Mayor Mancino: Well we just want to make sure that.
Kate Aanenson: The way it's sitting on the property, from Audubon Road, to where it's sitting, it will be
completely screened and Lake Drive, that you won't be able to see down there but that was one of our
concerns.
Mayor Mancino: We just want to make sure obviously that, not the current user but in future years, again
it's tied to the land so that nobody else can come in and make things higher than the walL.. Is the
applicant, would you like to come forward?
Councilman Senn: One quick question. Now, do we need...
Kate Aanenson: Actually when we put that in the plans, no. Can I tell you where we addressed that
under page 4 under findings. The proposed use of light industrial are consistent with the parameters
established in the PUD. As to outdoor storage section.. .PUD landscaping and screening, storage of
outdoor materials is prohibited unless it's been approved under the site plan. So as part of the site plan
we are recommending that based on the material, base of the height, that we think it works in the system
and ultimately it's the developer's desire to probably enclose that space so it's kind of, we think it's a
good use of that facility.
28
City Council Meeting - April 13, 1998
Councilman Senn: I understand that but what happens in the future when.. . another user and somebody
decides to exceed the 12 foot in terms of visibility? What are you going to do about it?
Kate Aanenson: Then we'd cite him for being in violation of the PUD.
Councilman Senn: With what? I mean you don't have a CUP. Nothing to revoke. I mean what do you
do? Go back and say we revoke your site plan?
Kate Aanenson: Violation. It's a violation of the city ordinance.
Councilman Senn: So you just deal with it as a misdemeanor. . .
Mayor Mancino: Thank you Roger for that. Is the applicant here and would the applicant like to
address the City Council?
Mark Undestad: My name's Mark Undestad with Eden Trace. ... worked through a lot of stuff on here to
come up with a design that we think screens offloading area. Keeps things tucked away in there with the
height. The wall which is put up higher. We are working with two separate clients in there. One deals
in telephone cabling. They have some reels that stand 6 feet high and they don't stack those so this is
how tall that would be. Also we're dealing with another company that deals in granite and marble.
Those are 8 feet high so we've taken their screen to 12 feet. Looking again, that based on any elevations
around there, that if anybody's driving down Audubon, coming up from the other direction, 4 to 8 feet
and their wall's at 12 feet, nobody's going to see anything down inside there. And the landscaping,
we've increased landscaping there. That's about it. We've put some character to the footprint there to
try to make it look nice and not look like anything other than.. .
Councilman Berquist: Is that.. . underground storage going to be asphalt? Or not underground storage,
outdoor storage.
Mark Undestad: We're looking at...Class V overlay...which one of them goes in there. Because one of
them.
Mayor Mancino: They're going to put marble and granite.
Councilman Berquist: You're using marble and granite? ... you're going all the way down with
footings?
Mark Undestad: Right. Yeah, we're hoping to expand the buildings in there and just enclose those...
Mayor Mancino: .. .kind of like a dome or something. .. Any other questions for Mark at this time? Any
questions? Thank you very much. May I have a motion?
Councilman Berquist: Move approval.
Councilman Mason: Second.

a. Intent
The purpose of this zone is to create a PUD light industrial/office park. The use of the PUD zone is to
allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive proposal. All
utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for development shall proceed through
site plan review based on the development standards outlined below.
b. Permitted Uses
The permitted uses in this zone should be limited to light industrial, warehousing, and office as defined
below. The uses shall be limited to those as defined herein. If there is a question as to the whether or not
a use meets the definition, the City Council shall make that interpretation.
1. Light Industrial. The manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling, packaging, or testing of
goods or equipment or research activities entirely within an enclosed structure, with no outside
storage. There shall be negligible impact upon the surrounding environment by noise, vibration,
smoke, dust or pollutants.
2. Warehousing. Means the commercial storage of merchandise and personal property.
3. Office. Professional and business office, non-retail activity.
c. Setbacks
In the PUD standards, there is the requirement for landscape buffering in addition to building and parking
setbacks. The landscape buffer on Audubon Road is 50 feet, south of Lake Drive and 100 feet along the
southern property line. The PUD zone requires a building to be setback 50 feet from the required
33

f. Site Landscaping and Screening
1. All buffer landscaping, including boulevard landscaping, included in Phase I area to be installed
when the grading of the phase is completed. This may well result in landscaping being required
ahead of individual site plan approvals but we believe the buffer yard and plantings, in particular,
need to be established immediately. In addition, to adhere to the higher quality of development
as spelled out in the PUD zone, all loading areas shall be screened. Each lot for development
shall submit a separate landscaping plan as a part of the site plan review process.
2. All open spaces and non-parking lot surfaces shall be landscaped, rockscaped, or covered with
plantings and/or lawn material.

All approved outdoor storage must be screened with masonry fences and/or landscaping.

landscape developments. Each lot must present a landscape plan for approval with the site plan
review process.

landscaping may be installed incrementally, but it shall be required where it is deemed necessary to
screen any proposed development. All required boulevard landscaping shall be sodded.
5. Loading areas shall be screened from public right-of-ways. Wing wall may be required where
deemed appropriate.
g. Sign age
1. All freestanding signs be limited to monument signs. 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 with 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.
2. Each property shall be allowed one monument sign located near the driveway into the private site.
All signs require a separate permit.
3. The signage will have consistency throughout the development. A common theme will be
introduced at the development's entrance monument and will be used throughout.
4. Consistency in signage shall relate to color, size, materials, and heights.
h. Lighting
1. Lighting for the interior of the business center should be consistent throughout the development.
The applicant's proposal is consistent with the lighting standards for the PUD ordinance. The plans
do not provide for street lighting. As with previous industrial parks/roadways, the City has required
the developer to install street lights throughout the street system. The street lights should be
designed consistent with the existing lighting along Audubon Road.
2. A decorative, shoe box fixture (high pressure sodium vapor lamps) with a square ornamental pole
shall be used throughout the development area for area lighting.
3 Lighting equipment similar to what is mounted in the public street right-of-ways shall be used in the
private areas.
4. All light fixtures shall be shielded. Light level for site lighting shall be no more than 1/2 candle at
the property line. This does not apply to street lighting."
