specific storm water needs.

applicant shall provide details as to whether the tile line will be removed, abandoned in
place or remain. If the tile is to remain, the flow from the tile shall be accommodated in
the design of the storm water management plan.
e.The applicant shall provide rate control and storm water treatment to reduce off-site

wetland construction for banking purposes, this planning shall be integrated with the
City’s consultant’s storm water infrastructure planning.
f.Drainage and utility easements (minimum 20 feet in width) shall be provided over all
existing wetlands, storm water infrastructure and storm water ponds.
g.The developer asserts that, due to the steep grade in the southern portion of the property,
custom grading would not save any additional trees. In addition, the developer maintains
that the slope of the road and the location of the retaining wall make custom grading lots
impractical. If the developer demonstrates to the satisfaction of staff that custom grading
for their typical house pad would not result in additional significant tree preservation,
mass grading of this area may be approved.
h.The existing outlet structure of Pond A shall be removed and replaced in accordance with
the City’s standard detail. A stable emergency overflow (EOF) shall be provided for the
pond.
i.The portion of the silt fence that runs from the pipeline easement through Lot 7, Block 3
shall be moved upslope to the west by 30 to 60 feet to more clearly define the grading
limits. The area of property between the silt fence and the gully and property line shall
be seeded and mulched to control weeds and get a desirable cover crop in areas that were
recently farmed.
j.A temporary basin shall be constructed in the vicinity of Lots 6 and 7, Block 3. The
temporary sediment basin shall be installed prior to disturbing upslope area. A
temporary perforated riser and stable emergency overflow (EOF) for the basin shall be
7
City Council Summary – January 9, 2006
installed; details shall be included in the plan. The basin shall be properly sized for the
watershed area, according to NPDES requirements (i.e. The basins must provide storage
below the outlet pipe for a calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm
from each acre drained to the basin, except that in no case shall the basin provide less
than 1,800 cubic feet of storage below the outlet pipe from each acre drained to the
basin).
k.Chanhassen Type 2 silt fence shall be provided for the perimeter of the site up to Lot 10,
Block 3. From there, Type 1 may be used. Silt fence shall be shown on the plans around
Lots 1 and 2, Block 1.

protection) inlet controls shall be used. Curbside inlet protection shall be provided for
existing inlets adjacent to the site exit on Osprey Lane. City standard inlet protection
details 5302 and 5302A shall be included in the plans. The proposed rear yard catch
basin protection shall be revised; Wimco type, ESS type or equal must be used. The
proposed silt fence shall be installed with additional rock around Chanhassen type 1 silt
fence.
m.The plans shall be revised to show energy dissipation for the flared end section on Lot 7,
Block 3.
n.Erosion control blanket shall be installed on all slopes greater than or equal to 3:1. All
exposed soil areas shall have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover year
round, according to the following table of slopes and time frames:
Type of Slope Time (Maximum time an area can
Steeper than 3:1 7 days remain open when the area
10:1 to 3:1 14 days is not actively being worked.)
Flatter than 10:1 21 days
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.
o.Street cleaning of soil tracked onto public streets shall include daily street scraping and
street sweeping as-needed.
p.In order to fund the maintenance and expansion of the BC-P4.10 storm water pond and
construction of additional capacity, the costs will be allocated among the benefiting
properties. The total cost of materials and construction will be divided by the number of
acres in the resulting subwatershed. The City will be responsible for the acres
contributing from land already developed, park land and land to be developed in the
future (e.g., the Bongard parcel). The developer will be responsible for the acres
contributing from their development. If, for any reason, the regional storm water facility
8
City Council Summary – January 9, 2006
is not constructed, the developer will be responsible for providing storm water quality
and quantity management on the subject property and paying Surface Water
Management connection charges in accordance with City Code. At this time, the
estimated total SWMP fee, due payable to the City at the time of final plat recording, is
$65,364.
q.In conjunction with the BC-P4.10 storm water ponding project, land in addition to the
land shown in Outlot A may be required. At this time, the estimated amount of land is
approximately 0.5 acres. The developer and the City will seek to agree upon the terms of
the use of land for ponding should additional land be required. The developer, if required,
shall provide additional land for ponding.

501.4.
d.A 10-foot clear space must be maintained around fire hydrants, i.e., street lamps, trees,
shrubs, bushes, Xcel Energy, Qwest, cable TV and transformer boxes. This is to ensure
that fire hydrants can be quickly located and safely operated by firefighters. Pursuant to
Chanhassen City Ordinance #9-1.
e.Fire hydrant spacing is acceptable.

Marshal for review and approval.

structure that is failing must also be replaced. The cost of a new outlet structure to
