Approve Expenditure of Funds to Westwood Church for West 78th
Street Extension, Project No. 04-14
REQUESTED ACTION
Approve expenditure of funds for the cost difference between a 26-foot wide
driveway and a 31-foot wide street and associated storm water ponding, wetland
mitigation, trail construction and landscaping.
BACKGROUND
On July 12,2004, Council approved the site plan for the Westwood Church
Expansion and authorized paying for the cost difference for oversizing the road.
On November 15, 2004, former Assistant City Engineer Matt Saam sent a letter
stating what the City would reimburse to Westwood Church for the cost
difference associated with construction West 78th Street to City standards versus
constructing a 26-foot wide driveway.
DISCUSSION
After City Council approval of the Westwood Church site plan, staff met with
representatives from Westwood Church to discuss reimbursement options for a
portion of the construction of West 78th Street. The City agreed to reimburse for
the additional cost associated with constructing a 31-foot wide street versus a 26-
foot wide drive. The agreed upon reimbursements were as follows:
1. Oversizing of West 78th Street from a 26-foot wide driveway to a 31-foot
wide street: $18,238.03
2. Ten-foot wide bituminous trail: $16,445.00
3. Additional wetland fill and mitigation required due to street widening:
$5,572.77
4. Additional ponding due to street widening: $1,830.38
5. Landscaping along West 78th Street: $10,362.00
6. Additional engineering costs: 12% of the cost of Items 1-5
The City of Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.

On October 24,2005, Westwood Church's engineer, Pioneer Engineering,
submitted a letter requesting additional reimbursement, which is summarized as
follows:
1. Grading costs associated with constructing the "oversizing" of West 78th
Street and the trail: $8,671.91 (Staff is "not" recommending approval)
2. Additional subgrade correction for the West 78th Street "oversizing":
$2,311.13 (Staff is "not" recommending approval)
3. Land cost for the additional 20-foot of right of way required to "oversize"
West 78th Street and construct the bituminous trail: $80,400.00 (Staff is
recommending approval of this item)
Staff's opinion is that the grading costs associated with the "oversizing" of West
78th Street and the land costs for the additional 20-feet of right of way is above
and beyond the original scope of the agreed-upon reimbursable items. The
reimbursement for additional subgrade correction is a reasonable request.

PROPOSAUSUMMARY
The site was previously developed with the first phase of an ultimate project that will create a
campus for Westwood Connnunity Church. The applicant is proposing the eXfansion of the
parking lot by ~ 166 spaces, extension of a driveway to the proposed West 78 Street extension
and construction of the West 78th Street extension. No additional buildings are proposed as part of
the current site plan.
It should be noted that the extension of West 78th Street will be a public/private partnership.
Westwood Church is onl r uired to build a 26- foot wide drivewa with curb and tter to serve
their develo ment.
Staff is reconnnending approval of the site plan for the parking expansion, driveway connection and
West 78th Street extension and the wetland alteration permit.
BACKGROUND
On September 27,2001, the Chanhassen City Council approved the following:
. Land use amendment from Residential- Low Density to Public/Semi-Public based on
the findings in the staff report and contingent upon Metropolitan Council review and
approval.
. Rezoning of the property from Rural Residential, RR, to Office and Institutional, 01
based on the findings in the staff report.
. Site Plan #2001-10, plans prepared by Hannnel, Green and Abrahamson, Inc., dated July
6,2001, with a one-story variance from the Office and Institutional district regulations
and a 2.5-foot variance from the 40-foot building height Highway Corridor District
regulations.
. Wetland Alteration Permit to alter and fill 34,900 square feet (0.8 acres) of wetlands.
However, only part of the wetland alteration occurred for the extension of the sewer and
construction of the storm water pond.

GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE
The applicant is proposing the ex~ansion of the parking lot by ~ 166 spaces, extension of a
driveway to the proposed West 78 Street extension and construction of the West 78th Street
extension. No additional buildings are proposed as part of the cWTent site plan.
LANDSCAPING
The applicant is proposing parking lot landscaping consistent with the existing lots. The center
island landscaping uses crabapples in a mass, organized planting. Plantings along the entryway
drive are the same species as the existing lot creating a uniform view into the site.

Proposed landscaping meets minimum ordinance requirements. The applicant is consistent with
the parking lot landscaping previously approved for the existing lots. As before, the applicant is
installing trees that are smaller than ordinance requirements, but planting more than are required.
The smaller sizes are acceptable to staffbecause the applicant is meeting the minimum
requirements for caliper inches rather than quantities of materials. For example, there are 24
overstory trees required for the parking lot. At the required size of 2 W' diameter, a total of 60
inches is required. The applicant is proposing 72 trees measuring 1" - 1 W' diameter for a total
of 85 diameter inches. Staff supports this approach for two reasons. Firstly, it has been
documented that planting smaller sized materials often results in healthier, less stressed plants
due to the reduction in root loss and transplant stress. Secondly, the site ultimately gets nearly
twice the number of plants as it would have had the applicant proposed the standard required size
of materials.
Ordinance requires boulevard trees along all collector roads. The extension of West 78th Street
will require an overstory tree every 30 feet.
WETLANDS
Existing Wetlands
There are two aglurban wetlands present on-site. Svoboda Ecological Resources (SER)
delineated the wetlands in May 1997 and reexamined the site on May 9,2001.
Wetland 1 is a Type 2 wetland located in the south central portion of the property, just south of
the existing building. The northern part of the wetland is dominated by reed canary grass, while
the southern part of the wetland supports forest vegetation, such as box elder. The applicant is
proposing wetland fill for a road in order to provide circular vehicular movement around the
Planning Commission
Westwood Community Church Case No. 04-20
June 15,2004
Page 4
campus. This road is proposed to cross Wetland 1 just north ofthe southern property line. The
width and height of the road have been minimized in order to reduce the amount of wetland
impact required. The total proposed impact to Wetland 1 is 30,033 square feet (0.70 acres).
Wetland 2 is a Type 1 wetland located at the far west end of the parcel. It is dominated by
American elm and green ash with an understory of greater straw sedge. No wetland impact is
proposed for this basin.
Wetland Replacement
The applicant is proposing the construction of31,650 square feet (0.73 acres) of new wetland
credit (NWC) adjacent to Wetland 1. The applicant has proposed employing storm water ponds
constructed with this phase (14,500 square feet) as public value credit (PVC) for a portion ofthe
required 2: 1 replacement ratio.
The applicant has also proposed using 13,916 square feet ofPVC that was created with the first
phase of this project. Minnesota Rule 8420.0740 Subp. 1 (F) states that "In cases where excess
wetland acreage is expected to result from a specific replacement plan. . ., the owner must
indicate on the replacement plan that the excess acreage is to be considered available for wetland
banking or lose the opportunity to use the excess credits for future projects." Since this was not
done with the initial wetland alteration permit, these public value credits are not available. The
applicant should develop an amendment to the wetland replacement plan to achieve the required
2: I replacement (provide the additional required 13,916 square feet) without employing credits
constructed during the first phase.
Wetland replacement must occur in a manner consistent with the Minnesota Wetland
Conservation Act (MR 8420). The applicant must receive the City's approval of a wetland
replacement plan prior to any wetland impact occurring. The applicant should provide proof of
recording of a Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for Replacement Wetland.
A wetland buffer 0 to 20 feet in width (with a minimum average of 10 feet) must be maintained
around all existing and proposed wetlands. (Wetland buffers proposed for PVC must maintain a
width of 16.5 feet.) Wetland buffer areas should be preserved, surveyed and staked in
accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. The applicant will install wetland buffer edge
signs, under the direction of City staff, before construction begins and will pay the City $20 per
sign. All structures must maintain a 40- foot setback from the edge of the wetland buffer.
GRADING. DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL
The grading for this site can be broken into two separate operations: one is for the additional
parking lot on the north side of the site and the other is for the extension of West 78th Street at
the south end of the site. The additional parking area was previously rough graded with the
original Westwood Church project. The applicant is now proposing to finish grade the area for
paving. At the south end of the site, the entire south property line will be graded for the
extension of West 78th Street from Highway 41. In addition, two driveways will be graded to the
Planning Commission
Westwood Community Church Case No. 04-20
June 15,2004
Page 5
north of West 78th Street for access to the new road. The applicant will also be grading for the
construction of a new pond and wetland mitigation area.
To avoid significant grading into the Landscape Arboretum's property at the southeast corner of
the site, a retaining wall, ranging in height from 4' to 9', is proposed. A permit for the proposed
retaining wall is required to be obtained from the Building Department and the wall must be
designed by a registered structural engineer. Even with the wall, there is a small amount of
grading that is proposed on the northeast corner of the Arboretum's property. This off-site
grading will require a temporary easement or right-of-entry agreement from the Arboretum.
Should earthwork quantities not balance on site and materials need to be imported or exported
from the site, the developer will need to supply the City with a detailed haul route for review and
approval by staff In addition, if material is proposed to be exported to another location in
Chanhassen, it should be noted that the properties would be required to obtain an earthwork
permit from the City. All areas disturbed as a result of construction-related activity must be
sodded and/or seeded and disc mulched within two weeks of disturbance.
Drainage from the new parking lot will be conveyed via storm sewer to an existing public pond
off the northeast corner of the site. This existing pond has been previously sized for the
additional impervious drainage so no further improvements are required. A new pond at the
south end of the site is proposed to treat a large majority of the drainage from the new public
street, private driveways and future parking lots on the church property. The pond will discharge
the treated stormwater to the existing wetland just east of the pond. This wetland then drains
south into the Arboretum's property. The outlet rate from this wetland is required to be the same
or less than the existing flow rate of stormwater onto the Arboretum's property. The eastern 300
feet of new West 78th Street is proposed to drain to the Highway 41 ditch at the northwest comer
of the intersection. This will require a MnDOT drainage permit. In addition, an NPDES permit
and Watershed district permit will be required for the project grading.
Drainage calculations for the existing and proposed conditions including the 10- and 100- year
runoff rates along with storm sewer sizing data has been submitted for staff review. Staff has
reviewed the calculations and found that only minor modifications are needed. Drainage and
utility easements will be required over the wetland, pond, and the adjacent mitigation areas. An
easement for access purposes will also be required for future maintenance of the wetlands.
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 silt
fence, which is a heavy duty fence, be used adjacent to all existing wetlands and ponds. In
addition, erosion control blankets should be used on all slopes 3: 1 or greater with heights of 6' or
more.
Stonn Water Management
According to July 18, 2001 correspondence from Peter Olin with regard to the previous phase,
the Arboretum has reviewed the plans for the Westwood Church Development. The Arboretum
is concerned that the culverts under the West 78th Street extension will affect the volume and
Planning Commission
Westwood Community Church Case No. 04-20
June 15, 2004
Page 6
rate of runoff from the site and that this, in turn, will affect the research plots on the Arboretum
property. The proposed development is required to maintain existing runoffrates. Staffwill
review the storm water calculations to ensure runoff rates will not increase as a result of the
proposed development. The applicant may want to work with the Arboretum to ensure their
concerns are addressed.
Easements
Drainage and utility easements should be provided over all existing wetlands, wetland mitigation
areas, buffer areas used for mitigation credit and storm water ponds.
Erosion Control
Erosion control blanket should be installed on all slopes greater than or equal to 3: 1. All exposed
soil areas must have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover year round, according to
the following table of slopes and time frames:
Steeper than 3: 1
10:lt03:1
Flatter than 10: 1
7 days
14 days
21 days
(Maximum time an area can
remain open when the area
is not actively being worked.)
Type of Slope
Time
These areas include constructed storm water management pond side slopes, and any exposed soil
areas with a positive slope to a storm water conveyance system, such as a curb and gutter system,
storm sewer inlet, temporary or permanent drainage ditch or other natural or man made systems
that discharge to a surface water.
Street cleaning of soil tracked onto public streets should include daily street scraping and street
sweeping as-needed.
Surface Water Management Fees
Since the proposed project does not require the subdivision of property, it is not subject to water
quality and water quantity connection charges.
Other Agencies
The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies, e.g.
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources (for dewatering) and Army Corps of Engineers and comply
with their conditions of approval.

UTILITIES
With no building expansion being proposed at this time, no utility improvements are proposed
except for a short watennain extension under new West 7Sth Street at the southeast comer of the
site. This watennain is meant for future development purposes.
STREETS! ACCESS
As a condition of approval for the development of the original Westwood Church project, a
second driveway access at the intersection of West 7Sth Street was required to be constructed
prior to any further development of the site. As such, Westwood Church is now Proposing to
construct a secondary access to the site with the expansion of their parking area. To accompn~~
this, Westwood Church has ac uired the two 0 erties at the southeast comer of their site. .;
The City is in
favor of having a public street for a few reasons: it will provide an alternate access for church
traffic to exit the site, it will provide a future access for the development of the property
(Carlson/Brandt) west ofthe church's site, and it will provide a secondary access for the
Dogwood Road residents in the future.
The extension of West 7Sth Street is proposed as a 3 I-foot wide public street with concrete curb
and gutter. The street has been shown within an SO-foot easement. A 10-foot wide bituminous
trail is also included to provide pedestrianlbike access from future development to the west. The
proposed trail will connect with the existing trail system on the east side of Highway 41. A
financial security will be required to guarantee installation of the public improvements.
In 2001, when staffwas previously considering the extension of West 7Sth Street, the Landscape
Arboretum expressed no interest in the project or of having the road on their property. Because
of this, the entire length ofthe proposed West 7Sth Street extension has been shown on the
Church's ProPerty. This also necessitates the re-alignment ofthe existing West 7Sth
StreetlHighway 41 intersection on the east side of the highway. The existing intersection does
not line up with the proposed extension of West 7Sth Street. All of the necessary intersection and
turn lane improvements will be completed with this project. The City has retained the services
of a traffic engineer to look at the proposed intersection layout and ensure that it will operate
effectively based on the uhimate development of the area. Staff hopes to have the results of this
traffic study in time for the June 15,2004 Planning Commission meeting.
As previously mentioned, Westwood Church is required to construct a 26-foot wide driveway
with concrete curb and gutter, per City Code. The proposed access driveway to the existing
church site from West 7Sth Street is labeled as a "Temporary Parking Drive" that is 24 feet wide
with no curb and gutter. It is staff's understanding that the church intends to expand within the
next five years but that there are no specific plans for future building locations and/or elevations.
As such, staff would recommend that bituminous curb and gutter be added to the temporary
driveway. Additionally, a condition should be included with this approval that prior to any
future building expansion to the west side of the existing church building, the temporary access
driveway from West 7Sth Street will be brought up to current standards in effect at the time.

Re: W. 78th Street Oversizing - Project No. 04-14
Dear Bill:
In accordance with previous discussions between the City and Westwood Church
representatives, the City has agreed to reimburse the Church for the extra width or
oversizing of new West 78th Street. This reimbursement will include costs for:
1. Oversizing W. 78th Street from a 26-foot driveway with concrete curb and
gutter to a 31-foot bituminous street with concrete curb and gutter.
2. Ten-foot wide bituminous trail.
3. Additional wetland fill/mitigation due to street widening.
4. Additional ponding due to street widening.
5. Landscaping along W. 78th Street.
6. Additional engineering cost.
Based on the attached construction bid from Midwest Asphalt Corp., the
reimbursement total has been calculated below.
1.) Five-Foot Street Widening (from Stat. 0+20 to Stat. 14+29)
a. Additional area calculation
Length = 1429 ft. - 20 ft. = 1,409ft.
Area = (length) x (width)
= (1,409 ft.) x (5 ft.) x 1 sq. yd. = 783 sq. yds.
9 sq. ft.
b. Total road section cost for additional area

Pavement Cost = 783 sq. yds. x $23.20 = $18,165.60
sq. yd.
Tack Coat Cost = 783 sq. yds. x .05 gal. x $1.85 = $72.43
sq. yd. gal.
Total = $18,165.60 + $72.43 = $18,238.03
2.) Ten-Foot Wide Bituminous Trail (from Stat. 0+40 to Stat. 13+75)
a. Trail length = 1,375 ft. - 40 ft. = 1,335 ft.
b. Total trail cost: 10' bituminous trail = 1,335 ft. x $12.00 = $16,020
ft.
1 ped. Ramp = $425
Total = $16,020 + $425 = $16,445
3.) Wetland Fill/Mitigation
a. Increase in street section width from driveway to street
Width of driveway section = (26' drive) + (4' shoulder) +
(4' shoulder) = 34 ft.
Width of street section = (31' street) + (4' shoulder) + (9' blvd.) +
(10' trl.) = 54 ft.
Width increase = (54 ft.) - (34 ft.) = 20 ft.
b. Increase in fill area
Length of wetland at W. 78th St = 295 ft.
Area = (length) x (width)
= (295 ft.) x (20 ft.) = 5,900 sq. ft.
c. % Increase
Total amount of wetland fill = 30,033 sq. ft.
% increase = 5,900 sq. ft. = .196 or 19.6% of the total fill area.
30,033 sq. ft.
d. Unit volume cost for grading
Total grading bid cost = $122,800
Total amount of cut volume = 55,000 cu. yds.
Volume Cost = $122,800 = $2.23/cu. yd.
55,000 cu. yd.
e. Cost for additional mitigation
Total cut volume in mitigation area = 12,750 cu.yds.

Total cost
= (Total cut vol.) x (Vol. cost) x % increase
= 12,750 cu. yds. x $2.23 x .196 = $5,572.77

4.) Additional Ponding
a. Dead storage pond volume required for 26' wide driveway from pond
calculations of Doug Stahl at Pioneer Engineering
Drainage area = 9.36 ac., CN = 86
Runoff, Q = (P - 0.2S)2 where P = 2.5 in.
P + 0.8S S = 1,000 - 10
CN
= 1,000 = 10
86
= 1.63 in.
So, Q = r2.5 - 0.20.63)12 = 1.24 in.
2.5 + (0.8) 1.63
Total pond volume = Q (area) = 1.24 in. (9.36 ac.) x ~
12 in.
= 0.97 ac. ft.
b. Dead storage pond volume required for 31 ' street from pond
calculations of Doug Stahl
Drainage area = 9.65 ac., CN = 87
Runoff, Q = (P - 0.2S)2 where P = 2.5 in.
P + 0.8S S = 1,000 - 10
CN
= 1,000 = 1.49 in.
87
= 1.49 in.
So, Q = r2.5 - 0.2 (1.49)12 = 1.31 in.
2.5 + (0.8) 1.49
Total pond volume = Q (area) = 1.31 in. (9.65 ac.) x ~
12 in.
= 1.05 ac. ft.
c. % increase in pond volume
% increase = Vol. Street - Vol. Drivewav x 100%
V 01. Street
W. 78th Street Oversizing

d. Cost for additional ponding
Total pond excavation = 10,800 cu. yd.
Unit vol. cost (see above, 3.) d.) = $2.23/cu.yd.
Total cost = (total pond excavation) x (vol. cost) x % increase
= 10,800 cu. yds. x 2.23 x .076

Based on the above calculations, the City will reimburse the Church $58,742 for
the oversizing of W. 78th Street. Please review these calculations and let me
know of any concerns you have. Upon hearing from you, I will schedule the
request on a future Council agenda for approval.

Re: WESTWOOD CHURCH
West 78th Street
P.E. Job# 104049
Dear Dan:
We have reviewed the November 15, 2004 City of Chanhassen letter regarding the West 78th Street
oversizing. We feel there are a couple of additional items that should be included in the oversizing costs.
1. The grading costs for the increased size of the treatment basin and wetland mitigation areas have
been included in the oversizing costs. The grading cost to build the extra 20' width to the
roadway and trail was not. We calculated the additional fill required for the 20' extra width to be
3,889 cubic yards.
Roadway grading cost = 3,889 cu yds x $2.23/Cu Y d = $8,671.91
2. Due to soft subgrade, the City of Chanhassen required additional subgrade correction and sand
for the constlUction of West 781h Street. If the roadway were to remain private, this additional
cost may not have been required. The Midwest Asphalt invoice for the removal and replacement
for the unsuitable material is $14,329.00.
Cost of 5' oversize on 31' roadway = 5/31 x 14,329.00 = $2,311.13
3. The additional 20' width required for the 31' roadway and trail will restrict the amount of parking
and developable land for the future phase of the site. The loss of the 20' and associated setback
from the right-of-way will result in the loss of future parking. The value of this land should be
considered. The area of the total West 7801 Street right-of-way is 3.500 Acres. The area of the
20' oversizing width is 0.804 Acres.
Cost of20' oversizing = 0.804 x 100,000 = $80,400.00
Please give me a call with any questions at (651) 681-1914.

Re: Westwood Church/West nili Street Extension - Project No. 04-14
Dear Dan:
On October 24, 2005 you forwarded a copy of Pioneer Engineering's letter regarding
additional costs that Pioneer Engineering feels that the church should be reimbursed. Having
not been involved in this project from the beginning, I looked through the files to find
documentation stating what the City would reimburse. The three requests per the October 24,
2005 letter and the City's response are as follows:
1. Road grading costs: $8,671.91
The City's West nili Street widening reimbursement was based on the information
submitted by Pioneer Engineering on August 4, 2004, which does not include grading
costs. The City has money budgeted for the agreed upon reimbursable items only
and therefore will not reimburse any money for the grading costs.
2. Additional subgrade cOlTection: $2,311.13
This is a reasonable request that staff will take to City Council for formal approval.
3. West nili Street right of way reimbursement: $80,400.00
Documentation in the City's file indicates that Westwood agreed to be the
responsible party for the right-of-way acquisition required to extend West 78ili Street.
Further, the "Permanent Drainage, Utility and Roadway Easement" signed by
yourself and the City states that the reimbursement amount for the easement is $1.00,
therefore, the City will not reimburse $80,400.00 for the easement acquisition.
If you have any questions please call me at 952-227-1164.
