The applicant has included a sketch plan and picture of the play equipment for the open space bordered by private streets D and E. They will be providing addition information at the City Council meeting. The applicant has prepared a narrative regarding the evolution of the architecture for the proposed housing units. The development consists of two housing types: 4 and 6-unit Premiers and 6-unit Concords. Within each housing type are four alternative living configurations. A color and material pallet will be established for each of the 29 buildings. Our evaluation of the appearance of the project has been based on the quality of its design in relationship to its surroundings including building and landscaping, colors, textures, shapes, massing of rhythms of building components and detail, height of roof line, setback, orientation and site topography and amenities (trees, wetlands, creeks and open space). The applicant has also contacted the Fox family to discuss the elevation of the street connection exiting the site to the north as well as provided the Fox family with engineering data regarding the proposed development. Attached is a Land Use Concept Plan for the Fox-Dorsey Properties. Staff has added arrows showing the potential extension of the road from the south across the Fox property. As can be seen in the drawing, there is a full range of alternatives for this street connection. RECOMMENDA TION Staff and the Planning Commission recommend adoption of the four motions approving the project as specified on pages 17 - 23 in the staff report dated March 21, 2006.

Hovnanian" Company Mayor and City Council City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Boulevard p.o. Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 RE: Liberty at Creek Side Dear Mayor and City Council: Thank you for the opportunity to provide additional information regarding the Liberty at Creek Side development following our discussion on April 10, 2006. During that discussion, Town & Country Homes was encouraged to discuss the secondary road access through the MnDOT property with Jeff Fox, representing the Fox Family Property. Since that meeting, we have had the opportunity to discuss the secondary access with Mr. Fox via telephone conversations and Westwood Professional Services has forwarded the Liberty at Creek Side development plans to his representatives. We look forward to meeting with Mr. Fox and his representatives and will work with city staff to identify the final alignment and elevation of the secondary access through the MnDOT property. It is our understanding that a proposed condition of the preliminary plat approval stipulates that this matter must be resolved prior to submitting the final plat application and Town & Country Homes is prepared to address that challenge during the development of the final plat. We have also identified an appropriate playground structure that can be installed in the cul-de- sac surrounded by private street "D." The proposed playground structure is an appropriate size for the area and is designed for children ages 5-12. The playground will be situated in the middle of the cul-de-sac area to minimize the opportunity for pedestrian/vehicle conflicts. The attached picture illustrates the proposed playground for the area. During the design of the Liberty at Creek Side community, the Premier and Concord collections were selected for this neighborhood because they offer the opportunity to better utilize the existing topography on the site. Because of their design features, we have been able to preserve additional open space within the neighborhood while offering views of the upgraded open areas to each homesite. As we discussed at the April 10, 2006 meeting, Town & Country Homes has included an additional color scheme that will only be available at the Liberty at Creek Side development. We propose that three color schemes be dedicated to the Premier units and three color schemes be dedicated to the Concord units. In addition to the varied color schemes, an appropriate brick or stone accent has been selected for each color pattern further distinguishing our color palette.

For example, we have introduced three elevations to the Premier Collection. The Victorian, Farmhouse and Mission elevations will be incorporated throughout both neighborhoods. By introducing three distinct elevations as well as the proposed color schemes for the Premier product line, we are able to ensure that the perimeter streetscape of the Liberty at Creek Side community varies as vehicles and pedestrians traverse the neighborhood. Town & Country Homes has also upgraded the architectural treatments to the Concord product line. We have introduced an assortment of exterior variations such as varied gables and porch roofs. Further, we have also introduced a variety of exterior building materials such as split face rock, brick, siding and shakes. While planning for this community, we reviewed a number of housing products that ranged in size and density. The Premier and Concord product lines allow Town & Country Homes to create an exclusive community that offers a stunning site design, enhanced architectural features, provides the necessary infrastructure, allows us to partner with the city to upgrade Lyman Avenue while creating housing opportunities that are affordable to a larger segment of the Chanhassen community. We are proud of the efforts by all parties involved to make this community successful and we stand behind the proposed plans that will ensure that this community is a success for the city of Chanhassen and Town & Country Homes. Thank you for your continued support of the Liberty at Creek Side development and we look forward to your approval on April 24, 2006. We are pleased to work with the city of Chanhassen to address these outstanding items and we are prepared to discuss these with you in greater detail.

ACTION REQUIRED City Council approval requires a majority of City Council present. PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 21,2006,toreviewthe proposed development. The Planning Commission voted 5 toO to approyethe proposed project. The Planning Commission minutes are item .laof the AprillO, 2006 City Council packet. As part of the discussion, two issues were brought out: diversity and uniqueness of the development and road access. Attached is a letter from the applicant addressing the diversity issue.

The City of Chanhassen · A growing communi1y with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play. SCANNED Liberty at Creekside April 10, 2006 Page 2 The Fox and Dorsey families were concerned with the proposed traffic volumes that would use the northern connection that would ultimately extend north through the Fox property. Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers' Trip Generation Manual, 6th Edition, 1998, the proposed townhome development would generate 856 trips daily, 64 trips during the morning peak and 79 trips during the evening peak. This traffic volume is similar to that of Longacres Drive east of Highway 41, assuming all trips generated from Liberty at Creekside use the northern access. According to the 8th Edition of the Civil Engineering Reference Manual by Michael R. Lindeberg, streets with 2,000 vehicles per day or less are classified as local streets.

HOl'wmian& Company Mayor and City Council City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Boulevard P.O. Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 RE: Liberty at Creek Side Dear Mayor and City Council: Thank you for the opportunity to provide additional information regarding the Liberty at Creek Side development to the Chanhassen City Council for preliminary plat approval on April 10, 2006. As we discussed with the Planning Commission on March 21, 2006, Liberty at Creek Side is a unique community that offers many enhancements to the on-site natural features, the building layout that preserves open space, offers views of the open space to each home site through the terracing of the site and the housing mix to offer additional life cycle housing opportunities to the current and future residents of Chanhassen. Specifically, Town & Country Homes and the city of Chanhassen have partnered to create a community that is "tucked" into this natural setting surrounded on three sides by the Bluff Creek Overlay District while providing the necessary access to ensure the health, safety and welfare of our residents. Additionally, we have worked with the city to enhance the natural features in the southern section of the neighborhood by creating a wetland mitigation area and re-vegetation plan for the farmed area to enhance the open space. This area will be enjoyed by the future residents in this community, the residents that take advantage of the trail network that is proposed to be constructed with the development of this neighborhood and the community at large who will be able to view this preserved area as they drive by on the new transportation network. By preserving and enhancing the natural setting of this community, we will truly create an "amazing space" that will distinguish this community from others in the area. In addition to our efforts to preserve the open space within this community, Town & Country Homes has introduced two housing types, rather than the one originally proposed, to offer additional life cycle housing opportunities for the current and future residents of Chanhassen. We propose the development of our traditional townhome (Premier Collection) around the perimeter of our community because we are able to take advantage of the natural grades with this home which has helped to reduce the height of the on-site retaining walls. We also propose the development of our urban rowhome (Concord Collection) in the interior of the site to provide an additional housing style to create an attractive street environment and meet the current and future needs of the residents of Chanhassen.

We understand that challenge and embrace this opportunity to work with our color collection to improve the Liberty at Creek Side community. We propose the introduction of a sixth color scheme to this community. Further, we propose that three of those color schemes be dedicated to the Premier collection and the other three dedicated to the Concord collection. By creating this distinction within our color palette, we are able to truly distinguish this community from our neighboring communities which consists of five color schemes. In addition to the color collection modifications, we have also introduced varying color treatments to the rear of the Premier collection. As we originally presented this collection to the city, we proposed the use of a single color on the rear of these units. We understand the need to "break up" the monotony of a single color and we will introduce a second color in the middle units of the Premier collection to distinguish these units from those in our other communities. To highlight how these modifications have been incorporated, I am enclosing a rendering of the rear elevation of the Premier units. We are proud to offer these adjustments to the plans to facilitate the approval of the Liberty at Creek Side community. We support the conditions of the Planning Commission and have addressed that challenge to ensure that Liberty at Creek Side is a distinct community that will be a proud home to the current and future residents of Chanhassen. We look forward to the approval of the Liberty at Creek Side plans. If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 952-253-0460.

LOCATION: East of Audubon Road, north of Pioneer Trail and northwest of future Highway 312 (1500 Pioneer Trail) APPLICANT: Town & Country Homes 7615 Smetana Lane, Suite 180 Eden Prairie, MN 55344 (952) 944-3455 PRESENT ZONING: Agricultural Estate District, A2 2020 LAND USE PLAN: Residential- Medium Density (net density range 4.0 - 8.0 units/acre) ACREAGE: 36.01 gross acres 30.09 net acres DENSITY: 4.05 units/acre gross; 4.78 units/acre net SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a rezoning to PUD, subdivision and site plan approval to build 146 town homes with a conditional use permit for development within the Bluff Creek Overlay District as well as grading within the floodplain. LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving rezonings, PUD's, and amendments to PUD's because the City is acting in its legislative or policy making capacity. A rezoning or PUD, and amendment thereto, must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City's discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat is limited to whether or not the proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Ordinance. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. This is a quasi judicial decision. The City's discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the proposed project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements. If it meets these standards, the City must then approve the site plan. This is a quasi-judicial decision. The City has limited discretion in approving or denying conditional use permits, based on whether or not the proposal meets the conditional use permit standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance.

"0 :::J <( o,:n,t;:~.fd)tt Liberty at Creekside March 21, 2006 Page 2 of 23 PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The developer is requesting the rezoning of property from Agricultural Estate District, A-2, to Planned Unit Development - Residential, PUD-R, to permit a 146-unit townhouse development on land guided for residential- medium density uses (net density range 4.0 - 8.0 units per acre); a subdivision of approximately 36.01 acres into 29 lots, 3 outlots, and public right-of-way; site plan approval for 146 townhouses consisting of 98 Premier units and 48 Concord units; and conditional use permits for alterations within the flood plain and development within the Bluff Creek Overlay District. The site has a high point of 940 elevation located at the north property line. The site has a low point of 866 elevation adjacent to Bluff Creek which separates the northern and southern halves of the property. The land south of Bluff Creek is located entirely with the Bluff Creek Overlay District Primary Corridor and is proposed as an area for wetland mitigation and to be preserved as open space. To the north of the property is a wooded hill on the Fox parcel that is included in the Bluff Creek Primary Corridor which is intended to be preserved. To the northeast is a ponding and wetland mitigation area for MnDOT and the Highway 312 project. To the south is a future developable area that is guided for residential - medium density and officelindustrial use. The parcel to the south will gain access via Pioneer Trail. The property to the west is being proposed for an 81-lot single-family subdivision. As part of that development, the Bluff Creek Corridor is also being preserved. The initial access to the site will be from the northwest. This roadway crosses two other parcels and, therefore, must be coordinated with the development of those sites. As part of this development, we are also requiring that the developer establish a second means of access to the site. The most logical location is in the vicinity of the current farm road which runs to the north of the property just on the edge of the wooded hill. The developer will need to coordinate with MnDOT the design of this road. The developer will proyide a security for the constructieH ef the road, since it cannot be completed Ufltil to the Fox parcel to the north develops. ,^..t that time When the Fox parcel develops, the road will be linked to the 2005 MUSA east-west collector road. The development consists of two housing types: 4 and 6-unit Premiers and 6-unit Concords. Within each housing type are four alternative living configurations. A color and material pallet will be established for each of the 29 buildings. Staff is recommending that Liberty at Creekside be approved. BACKGROUND On December 8, 2003, the City approved the 2005 MUSA Alternate Urban Areawide Review (AUAR). This document was intended to review and provide mitigation measures for all development within the 2005 MUSA area. At the time of development review, each property within the 2005 MUSA area is required to reimburse the city for their propositional share, based on the land area, of the costs for completion of the AUAR. This property is responsible for $6,285.00 as its portion of the 2005 AUAR.

Appropriate zonings for this land use designation include Planned Unit Development - Residential (PUD-R), Mixed Low Density Residential, if twin homes (R4), Mixed Medium Density Residential (R8) or Low and Medium Density Residential (RLM). The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 36 acres from A2 to PUD-R, Planned Unit Development-R. The project consists of 146 townhouse units in 29 structures. The review criteria are taken from the intent section of the PUD Ordinance. Section 20-501. Intent Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD in this instance is to permit density clustering for development within the Bluff Creek Overlay District. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for an internal transfer of density. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the City has the expectation that the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with the other more standard zoning districts. The proposed development provides a compatible development with the surrounding development and preserves the Bluff Creek corridor subject to the recommended modifications to the plan. The proposed rezoning assists in the furtherance of the following land use goals of the City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan: . Development will be encouraged within the MUSA line. · The plan should seek to establish sufficient land to provide a full range of housing opportunities. · The city will seek opportunities to provide transitions between different uses of different types. · Development should be phased in accordance with the ability of the city to provide services. Liberty at Creekside March 21, 2006 Page 4 of 23 The proposed rezoning assists in the furtherance of the following housing goals of the City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan: . A balanced housing supply with housing available for people of all income levels. . A variety of housing types for people in all stages of the life-cycle. . Housing development that respects the natural environment of the community while striving to accommodate the need for a variety of housing types and costs. Staff is proposing the following development standards govern the development of the property. DEVELOPMENT DESIGN STANDARDS Liberty at Creekside Development Standards a. Intent The purpose of this zone is to create a PUD for a townhouse development. The use of the PUD zone is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive proposal. The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural standards and site design. Ancillary uses may be permitted as listed below once a primary use has occupied the site. b. Permitted Uses The permitted uses in this zone shall be limited to townhouses and their ancillary uses. If there is a question as to whether or not a use meets the definition, the Planning Director shall make that interpretation. The type of uses to be provided on common area Outlots shall be low intensity neighborhood oriented accessory structures to meet daily needs of residents. Such uses may include bus shelter, development signage, garden, gazebo, maintenance shed, picnic shelter or playground equipment. c. Setbacks The PUD ordinance requires setbacks from roadways and exterior property lines. The following table displays those setbacks. Highway 212 Exterior (Perimeter) Lot Lines Front Yard Side Yard (end units) Rear Yard Minimum Driveway length (to back of curb, trail or sidewalk) Hard Surface Coverage Wetland: Buffer and buffer setback Bluff Creek Primary zone boundary Setback Standards 50 feet 50 feet 10 feet 10 feet # 10 feet # 20 feet 30% * 16.5 feet and 40 feet 40 feet with the first 20 feet as buffer Liberty at Creekside March 21, 2006 Page 5 of 23 # Decks, patios, porches, and stoops may project up to seven (7) feet in to the required yard. * The entire development, including the public and private streets and Outlots, may not exceed 30 percent hard coverage. Individual lots will exceed the 30 percent site coverage. d. Building Materials and Design . Building height shall be limited to 35 feet . Building exterior material shall be a combination of vinyl siding or shake and brick, cut-face block or stone. . No two adjacent structures shall be of the same color scheme. . Colors used shall be varied across color tones. . All units shall utilize minimum timberline 25-year shingles. . Each unit shall have a minimum of one overstory tree within its front landscape yard. . All mechanical equipment shall be screened with material compatible to the building, landscaping or decorative fencing. . Garage doors shall be decorative and have windows. SUBDIVISION REVIEW The applicant is proposing a 29-lot subdivision with two common lots. Because this project is a PUD, there is not a minimum lot area. The overriding restriction is that the development complies with the density requirement of the comprehensive plan (4.0 - 8.0 units per acre), which it does at 5.21 units per acre. This plat configuration creates condominium units of each building. However, the applicant may final plat the lots for individual units rather than by structures, creating up to 146 lots. Preliminary discussions with the developer indicate that they. may create individual lots for units in the Premier buildings. Staff is recommending that the common lots be platted as separate outlots and that the Bluff Creek Primary corridor south of the buildings be made in to a separate outlot. BLUFF CREEK OVERLAY DISTRICT The City of Chanhassen established the Bluff Creek Overlay District by ordinance in 1998 to protect the Bluff Creek Corridor, wetlands, bluffs and significant stands of mature trees through the use of careful site design and other low-impact practices. This parcel is partially encumbered by the Bluff Creek Overlay District. Bluff Creek runs through the southern third of this property. All structures must maintain a minimum 40-foot setback from the primary corridor. No alterations are allowed within the primary corridor or within the first 20 feet of the setback from the primary corridor. The area within the Bluff Creek Overlay District south of Bluff Creek has been historically used for agricultural purposes. The applicant should submit a plan for the revegetation of this area that incorporates native plants and is consistent with the City's Bluff Creek Natural Resources Management Plan Appendix C. Special attention should be paid to areas with steep slopes (greater than 3:1). Liberty at Creekside March 21, 2006 Page 6 of 23 FLOODPLAIN Alterations appear to be proposed within a mapped FEMA unnumbered A Zone (toO-year floodplain). In lieu of a Letter of Map Amendment, LOMA, the applicant will be required to obtain a conditional use permit for alterations within the floodplain. GRADING, DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL Bluff Creek runs through the southwest corner of the 36-acre site. Trees are along the north and south sides of the creek. The area lying south of the creek contains some steep slopes and wetland areas on the west and east side. The northern quarter of the property is a steep, vegetated area. The remainder of the property is a vegetated area with gentle slopes. The property lies within the 2005 MUSA Expansion study area. Kimley-Horn completed a study on the 2005 MUSA area which included street system analysis and proposed trunk utility alignments. Access to the proposed development will be from a local street that will extend the east-west collector identified in the report. The northern portion of this street lies outside of the plat boundary; therefore, the developer must coordinate the location and elevation of the western street connection with the Pioneer Pass development to the west. The developer proposes to develop the area north of the creek. Due to the 70-foot drop in elevation from the northern plat boundary to the edge of the Bluff Creek Overlay District Line, the entire area north of the Overlay District Line will be mass graded, with the exception of the portion of the property in the extreme northwest corner of the site. The proposed grading plan identifies a storm water pond on the east side of the property, berms in the southeast comer and retaining walls at the north property line (two-tiered), within Common Lot 18, Block 2 (a portion of which is two-tiered), south of Street A, north of Lot 12, Block 1, and south of Lots 5 and 6, Block 1. Staff will work with the developer's engineer to limit the number and height of retaining walls within the site. The grading plan must show the proposed top and bottom of wall elevations for all retaining walls. Building permits are required for all retaining walls four feet tall or higher and must be designed by a Structural Engineer registered in the State of Minnesota. The developer proposes to install storm sewer throughout the site to convey runoff from the development to the proposed pond. Staff will review hydrology calculations prior to final plat approval. The style of home and lowest floor elevation must be noted on the grading plan. Typical sections for each housing style must be shown on the final grading plan. The final grading plan must be 50 scale so that staff can complete a full review of the proposed grading. Bluff Creek runs through the southern third of this property. Protection of Bluff Creek from erosion and sediment discharge during all phases of construction is essential. Liberty at Creekside March 21, 2006 Page 7 of 23 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN A storm water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) is needed for the development and must be completed prior to applying for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. It is recommended the SWPPP be submitted to the City and the Carver Soil and Water Conservation District (CSWCD) for review prior to final approval. Erosion Control A stable emergency overflow (EOF) is needed for the proposed pond. The EOF could consist of riprap and geotextile fabric or a turf re-enforcement mat (a permanent erosion control blanket). A typical detail should be included the plan. It is unclear how the contractor will gain access to and between wetland mitigation areas. A temporary creek crossing may be needed unless access can be gained from the west or south. The plans should show paths of access to both wetland mitigation areas as well as all erosion controls and restoration practices. 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: Tvpe of Slope Steeper than 3: 1 10:1 to 3:1 Flatter than 10: 1 Time 7 days 14 days 21 days (Maximum time an area can remain open when the area is not actively being worked.) 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 shall include daily street scraping and street sweeping as needed. Sediment Control Curbside inlet control details are needed. Wimco-type inlet controls should be used and installed within 24 hours of installation. Typical building lot controls should be shown on the plan. These controls should include perimeter controls (silt fence), rock driveways, street sweeping, inlet control and temporary mulch after final grade and prior to issuing the certificates of occupancy. The proposed storm water pond should be used as a temporary sediment basin during mass grading. The pond should be excavated prior to disturbing up gradient areas. Diversion berms or ditches may be needed to divert water to the pond and a temporary pond outlet is needed. The outlet could be a temporary perforated standpipe and rock cone. A detail is needed for the Liberty at Creekside March 21, 2006 Page 8 of 23 temporary pond outlet. Additional temporary sediment basins may be needed or an alternate location may be needed depending upon site conditions during rough grading. Storm Water Management It is recommended that the ultimate outlet from the site to Bluff Creek be adjusted to discharge water parallel to the creek flow; presently the outlet is shown to discharge water perpendicular to the flow and could increase bank erosion of the creek. The outlet should be turned to the southeast to align with the creek. Drainage and utility easements (minimum 20 feet in width) should be provided over all existing , wetlands, wetland mitigation areas, buffer areas used as PVC and storm water ponds. An easement adequate to provide access to the pond for maintenance purposes is needed and should be shown on the plan. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT FEES Water Quality Fees Because of the impervious surface associated with this development, the water quality fees for this proposed development are based on townhome development rates of $3, toO/acre. Based on the proposed developed area of approximately 35.58 acres, the water quality fees associated with this project are $110,298. Water Quantity Fees The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average citywide 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. Medium density residential developments have a connection charge of $4,400 per developable acre. This results in a water quantity fee of approximately $156,552 for the proposed development. SWMP Credits This project proposes the construction of one NURP pond. The applicant will be credited for water quality where NURP basins are provided to treat runoff from the site. This will be determined upon review of the ponding and storm sewer calculations. Credits may also be applied to the applicant's SWMP fees for oversizing in accordance with the SWMP or the provision of outlet structures. No credit will be given for temporary pond areas. At this time, the estimated total SWMP fee, due payable to the City at the time of final plat recording, is $266,850. Other Agencies The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies (e.g., Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (NPDES Liberty at Creekside March 21, 2006 Page 9 of 23 Phase II Construction Permit), Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (for dewatering), Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesota Department of Transportation) and comply with their conditions of approval. WETLANDS Existing Wetlands Two AglUrban wetlands exist on site. Westwood Professional Services, Inc. delineated the wetlands in May 2004. Wetland A is a Type 2/3 wetland located in the southwest corner of the property. The wetland is dominated by reed canary grass. No wetland impact is proposed. Wetland B is a Type 1/2 wetland adjacent to Bluff Creek that runs through the southern half of the property. The wetland is dominated by reed canary grass and box elder. No wetland impact is proposed. On May 12, 2004, City staff conducted an on-site review of the wetland delineation. The wetland boundary shown on the plans is consistent with staff recommendation. Wetland Creation Plans for Liberty on Bluff Creek, a nearby project proposed by the applicant for this project, rely upon the construction of two wetland mitigation areas on this site. The '.vetlafld mitigation for Liberty Ofl Bluff Creek rnnst be cOflstructed prior to or cOflcurrent with wetland impacts on the Liberty Ofl Bluff Creek project. Wetland replacement must occur in a manner consistent with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (MR 8420) and the conditions of the Wetland Alteration Permit for Liberty on Bluff Creek. The applicant received permission from the Army Corps of Engineers to complete the required compensatory mitigation for wetland impacts on Liberty on Bluff Creek within 1 year of the authorized fill as long as the LGU (the City of Chanhassen) receives a letter of credit adequate to cover the cost of mitigation if the developer does not construct the mitigation. The City received a letter of credit in the amount of $28,459 for this purpose. The wetland mitigation for Liberty on Bluff Creek must be complete within one year of the authorized fill on Liberty on Bluff Creek. Wetland buffers 16.5 to 20 feet in width (with a minimum average of 16.5 feet) must be maintained around Wetlands A and B and the constructed wetland mitigation areas. Wetland buffer areas should be preserved, surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. The applicant must install wetland buffer edge signs, under the direction of City staff, before construction begins and must pay the City $20 per sign. All structures shall maintain a minimum 40-foot setback from the edge of the wetland buffer. Wetland Issues Liberty at Creekside March 21, 2006 Page 10 of 23 The applicant has proposed a secondary access through the MnDOT Right-Of-Way (ROW) to the north in the northeast portion of the property. This connection will impact the wetland mitigation that MnDOT intends to create within their ROW in this area, especially the mitigation of Type 7 wetlands. The applicant will be responsible for creating or securing sufficient wetland mitigation for MnDOT that will meet all conditions imposed on MnDOT and will be responsible for any and all fees associated with the redesign of the wetland mitigation areas in MnDOT ROW. The applicant should work closely with the City and MnDOT to ensure all conditions are met. BLUFFS Several areas on the property have been identified as areas with steep slopes (slopes greater than or equal to 30%). The plans should be revised to show bluff areas (i.e., slope greater than or equal to 30% and a rise in slope of at least 25 feet above the toe). All bluff areas must be preserved. In addition, all structures must maintain a minimum 30-foot setback from the bluff and no grading may occur within the bluff impact zone (i.e., the bluff and land located within 20 feet from the top of a bluff). LANDSCAPING AND TREE PRESERVATION Tree canopy coverage and preservation calculations for the Liberty at Creekside development are as follows: Total upland area (excluding wetlands and bluffS) Total canopy area (excluding wetlands and bluffS) Baseline canopy coverage Minimum canopy coverage allowed Proposed tree preservation 30.87 acres 5.40 acres 17.5% 20 % or 6.2 acres 14.2% or 4.39 acres Developer does not meet minimum canopy coverage allowed; therefore the difference is multiplied by 1.2 to calculate the required replacement plantings. Difference in canopy coverage (5.4-4.39) 1.01 acres Multiplier 1.2 Total replacement area 1.21 acre or 52,795 SF Total number of trees to be planted 48 trees Replacement required to meet 20% cover 32 trees (6.2-5.4)/1089 SF) A total of 80 trees are required for reforestation in the development. Applicant is proposing a total of 260 trees as a part of the landscaping plan. Additional landscaping required for the development includes buffer yard plantings along the east property line. The following table summarizes the minimum requirements: East property line - bufferyard B, 495' Required 4 overstory 8 understory Proposed 13 overstory 21 understory Liberty at Creekside March 21, 2006 Page 11 of 23 30' width East property line - bufferyard B, 707' 15' width 12 shrubs 14 overstory 28 understory 42 shrubs 32 shrubs 14 overs tory 28 understory 42 shrubs Applicant meets minimum requirements for the bufferyard landscaping. Additional comments concerning landscaping and tree preservation include the need to extend fencing around the entire wetland mitigation areas that will be constructed on the south side. This fencing will protect the adjacent wooded areas. Fencing shall also be installed on either side of a single designated access road connecting the two mitigation areas so that during the construction of the ponds disturbance to the existing wetland is kept to one access road. The applicant will implement a restoration plan for the Bluff Creek Overlay District. The plan previously submitted to city staff for approval, dated 9/29/05 and titled 'Preliminary Offsite Upland Planting Plan' includes 75 bare-root trees including basswood, sugar maple, and red oak and MNDOT seed mixes 325 and 350. All trees shall be installed with tree tubes and mesh covers and mulched. The applicant shall submit full-sized plans with the final plat. UTILITIES Trunk sanitary sewer and watermain to serve the proposed development will be constructed with the 2005 MUSA Expansion Improvements, City Project 04-05. The proposed lateral watermain and sanitary sewer within the site cannot be extended until the trunk utilities have been installed. Lateral watermain will be stubbed to the northern stub of Street B and will be extended to the north when the Fox property develops. Each new lot is subject to the sanitary sewer and water hookup charges and the SAC charge at the time of building permit. The 2006 trunk hookup charge is $1,575.00/unit for sanitary sewer and $4,078.00/unit for watermain. The SAC charge is $1,625.00/unit. 'Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance. All of these charges are based on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met Council and are due at the time of building permit issuance. STREETS The site plan identifies two road connections to the development: one from the Pioneer Pass property to the west and one from the Fox property to the north. The developer's engineer must coordinate the site design for Liberty at Creekside with the preliminary design of Pioneer Pass, as shown on the drawings. Staff does not support the northern street connection to the Fox property. This access must be shifted to the east to the MNDOT right-of-way parcel and shall extend to the north property line of the MNDOT right of way parcel. The developer proposes to construct the following public streets: Liberty at Creekside March 21, 2006 Page 12 of 23 . Street A, an east-west, 31-foot wide local street within a 60-foot wide right-of-way, and . Street B, a north-south, 31-foot wide local street within a 60-foot wide right-of-way. The site plan includes a 24-foot wide private street to serve Lots 5-lO, Block 1. A 31-foot wide private cu-de-sac is proposed to serve Lots 1-9, Block 2. The proposed private cul-de-sac will be 91 feet in diameter, which meets the City's minimum standard for a cul-de-sac. The proposed private cul-de-sac is 500 feet long, which meets the ordinance requirements. Private stub streets will be constructed to serve Lots lO-17, Block 2. The developer has indicated that Lots 13 and 14 will be reoriented so that the front ofthe units will face north and south. The final plans must show the new orientation. The developer proposes to construct five-foot wide concrete sidewalks on the north side of Street A and the west side of Street B. A lO-foot wide bituminous trail will be constructed along the north side of the creek. The site plan and final grading plan must identify this trail. PARKS AND RECREATION Parks The proposed Liberty at Creekside subdivision is located within the 2005 MUSA area at the edge of Bluff Creek and is proposed to be developed into 146 residential town homes. The city's Comprehensive Park Plan calls for one acre of usable park space to be set aside for every 75 residents. Liberty at Creekside, as proposed, will result in an estimated 292 new residents moving into Chanhassen. Therefore, this subdivision generates the need for 3.89 acres of new parkland. However, the Comprehensive Plan also recognizes that building a small park in every residential subdivision is undesirable and would result in an unmanageable municipal park system. To this end, the plan calls for neighborhood parks to be centrally 10cated within housing regions with a maximum distance of one mile between neighborhood parks. This pooling of resources and land in order to centrally locate parks in specific park service areas results in the efficient use of limited capital and long-term maintenance dollars. In the case of the Liberty at Creekside proposal, the City is planning to provide neighborhood park amenities at a location approximately one-half mile to the west and south. Therefore, the City will be seeking park fees in lieu of land dedication as a condition of this subdivision. Trails A variety of pedestrian improvements should be incorporated into the proposed Liberty at Creekside plat. Foremost is a ten-foot wide asphalt trail to be constructed adjacent to and paralleling the Bluff Creek Corridor. This important trail will need to be constructed on the north side of Bluff Creek at this location. This trail is currently not reflected in the plans submitted by the applicant. A rough sketch depicting the alignment for the creek trail was faxed to the applicant on February 9,2006. Below is the applicant's preferred alignment. Additional pedestrian trails, sidewalks, and trail connectors also need to be incorporated into the project as required, including a sidewalk connection through the end of private street B. Design, engineering, installation and testing costs associated with these pedestrian improvements are the Liberty at Creekside March 21, 2006 Page 13 of 23 responsibility of the applicant. The city will reimburse the applicant for the cost of construction materials only for the ten-foot wide Bluff Creek Trail. This reimbursement payment shall be made upon completion and acceptance of the Bluff Creek Trail and receipt of an invoice documenting the actual costs for the construction materials utilized in construction of this trail segment.

Site characteristics that may be used for this purpose include building and landscaping, colors, textures, shapes, massing of rhythms of building components and detail, height of roof line, setback and orientation. . All building shall have a minimum of 20 percent of accent material. Accent material may include brick, stone cut face block or shakes. The use of any EFIS shall not be on the first story of any building or one story in height. Finding: The proposed development has been well sited within the site. It attempts to fit into the environment in which it is located including incorporating the site topography in building layouts, terracing down to Bluff Creek. The buildings offer much variety including colors, finishes, roof lines and materials. The buildings are oriented in multiple vectors to provide varying site lines and building elevations. Sec. 20-1089. Land use. All development shall create a unified design of internal order that provides desirable environments for site uses, visitors and the community. The following design elements shall be incorporated into a project: . The project shall create a unique neighborhood identity. . Creation of interconnecting neighborhoods in collaboration with adjoining landowners (street, walkways, preservation of natural features, parks and gathering places). . Each neighborhood has a focal point or gathering place including parks, greens, squares, entrance monuments, historic structures (siloslbams) or public furniture (gazebos, benches, pergolas). Community features may include: landscaping, lighting, benches, tables . Recreation facilities (playgrounds, tot lots, swimming pools and gardens). . Diversity of product type and design to accommodate different age groups and individuals in different socio-economics circumstances. . Broad variety of housing choices--twin homes, row houses, town homes, flats above garages, apartments over shops, garden apartments, senior living opportunities and condominiums. Findings: The project creates its own little unique enclave. Tucked away within the Bluff Creek Corridor with preserved natural areas on its north, south and west, this neighborhood is isolated, yet connected through roads and trails, to the rest of the community. Common areas around private street B and between Lots 6 and 7, Block 2 provide opportunities for focal points or gathering places. There are potentially up to 16 different living area configurations within the project, providing diversity in housing types to accommodate many different individuals. Sec. 20-1090. Curb appeal. To encourage roadway image or curb appeal projects shall create a variety of building orientation along the roadways; attractive streetscape and architectural detail. All projects shall incorporate two or more of the following design elements: Liberty at Creekside March 21, 2006 Page 16 of 23 . Orientation to the street or access road: · Setbacks · Spacing between buildings and view sheds. . Architectural detail/decorative features. · Windows. · Flower boxes. · Porches, balconies, private spaces. · Location and treatment of entryway. · Surface materials, finish and texture. · Roof pitch. · Building height and orientation. . Location of garages. . Landscaping including fencing and benning. . Street lighting. . Screening of parking, especially in apartment and condominium developments. . Variations/differentiations in units including, but not limited to, color, material, articulation etc. Findings: The proposed development has been well sited within the site. It attempts to fit into the environment in which it is located including incorporating the site topography in building layouts, terracing down to Bluff Creek. The buildings offer much variety including colors, finishes, roof lines and materials. The buildings are oriented in multiple vectors to provide varying site lines and building elevations. Sec. 20-1091. Transportation diversity. All developments shall be incorporate multi-modal transportation including two or more of the following elements: . Streets with trails incorporated. . Off road trials and bike paths. . Provisions for mass transit with bus stops and shelters incorporated into the developments. . Sidewalk connecting internal developments. · Undulating sidewalks. Use of pavers or stamped concrete. · On-street parking and use of roundabouts. · Landscaped boulevards or medians. Findings: The proposed development offers two directions of access to the site as well as walking and biking opportunities in both sidewalks and its connection to the Bluff Creek Trail system. Sec. 20-1092. Integration of parks, open space, natural historic or cultural resources. . Integrate nature and wildlife with urban environment. · Trails and sidewalks. Liberty at Creekside March 21,2006 Page 17 of 23 · Vistas. · Historic features. . Preservation of natural features that support wildlife and native plants (slopes, trees, wetlands). Findings: The proposed development is preserving the Bluff Creek Overlay District in the southern half of the site. In addition, trail connections to the Bluff Creek Trail system are proposed. The units in Lot 14, Block 2, as well as individuals on the sidewalk will have an overlook into the Bluff Creek Corridor. The terracing of the site provides additional opportunities for residents to overlook the Bluff Creek Corridor.

Liberty at Creekside is currently zoned Agricultural and guided for Medium Density Residential. Town and Country Homes is proposing a PUD/Medium Density Residential community for Liberty at Creekside. This enables us to be creative with our site layout and design, and allows for more opportunity for preservation, community character, and density clustering. The site planning for Liberty at Creekside has taken into consideration the Bluff Creek Overlay District boundary lines and buffering requirements, as well as the information deriving from the AUAR conducted for the 2005 MUSA Expansion Area. Access is a difficult obstacle in planning this community. We are proposing road access at the NW corner of the site just south of a slope area. We feel that this is the least obtrusive option in providing street access to the community from the major collector road planned for the area. Another difficulty with this site is the topography. Basement products and creative street layouts help us to work with the steep slopes. We have gone through a number of various concepts for this site and are confident that we have shaped a plan that uses the site's natural features to its advantage. Architecture Liberty at Creekside will feature our Premier Collection, which is our basement style townhome. Base Price: Mid 200's Sa. Footaae: 1400-1800s.f.

This Collection also boasts a more Natural Setting and provides yet another housing style for the life cycles within the "Liberty" communities and Chanhassen. Market: Empty Nesters, Move-Up Townhome Buyers, and Families. Since Town & Country Homes first proposed the Premier homes for Liberty on Bluff Creek (which is the larger site to the West along Audubon), we have upgraded the look of the homes to integrate an even more traditional flare, and to customize the homes special for the City of Chanhassen. Quality of Life Woodlands, ponds, wetlands and the highly regarded Bluff Creek Overlay district surround Liberty at Creekside. In planning this community, our best efforts were focused on preserving as much of the site's natural integrity as possible. Product selection and layout plays an enormous role in optimizing all the site has to offer. Site walks and discussion with city staff has lead us to the attractive Liberty at Creekside plan we have today. The "Liberty" communities will truly offer something special to homebuyers by surpassing normal levels of green space preservation, outdoor activity possibilities, and desirable locations. Homeowners Association: Lihert\' at Creekside Revised Preliminary Plat Subn1ittal june 14~ 2005 A Homeowners Association will maintain all common areas, private streets, and amenities - including the community pool. Town & Country Homes is proficient and experienced in HOA creation and management. We take pride in the management companies we hire and expect a high level of standards and performance. This guarantees that the. community will be meticulously maintained, and will retain a high value for years to come. Notezvorthy News: Very recently, a well-known and successful national homebuilder just entering into the Minnesota market place, K. Hovnanian, has acquired Town & Country Homes. This is an exciting turning point for Town & Country Homes because we will now be backed with even more ability to venture into unique and innovative opportunities. K. Hovnanian is a publicly held company, yet still maintains strong family values and ownership, which was important to Town & Country Homes and the Ryan family. Town & Country Homes will keep its name, and current office location. We look forward to expanding on our success in the homebuilding community. To learn more about K. Hovnanian, visit their website at www.khov.com.

February 23, 2006 Kate Aanenson City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Boulevard Chanhassen, MN 55317 Re: Liberty at Creekside Ms. Aanenson: The SWCD has taken the opportunity to review the Liberty at Creekside development. The plan reviewed is dated with a revision on 02/03/06. Please review and consider the following comments and suggestions regarding the SWPPP and erosion control and sediment controls. SWPPP A SWPPP is needed for the development and must be completed prior to applying for the NPDES permit. It is recommended the SWPPP be submitted to the City and SWCD for review prior to final approval. Erosion Control 1. A stable EOF for the pond is needed. The EOF could consist of riprap and geotextile fabric or a turfre-enforcement mat (a permanent erosion control blanket). A typical detail is needed on the plan. 2. It is unclear how access to wetland mitigation areas will be done. It appears that a temporary creek crossing may be needed unless access can be gained from the west or south. The access and all erosion controls / restoration should be noted on the plan. 3. The storm sewer extension is planned outside of perimeter controls. Additional erosion control notes are needed on the plan; erosion control blanket will be needed within 24 hours of installation. 4. Energy dissipation is needed at the FES inlet to Pond A and the outlet FES to the Creek within 24 hours of installation. 5. It is assumed the grading occurring north of the site along Street A and Street B will be done by others and erosion control blanket will be applied following seeding within 7 days of final grade. Sediment Control 1. Curbside inlet control details are needed. Wimco-type inlet controls should be used and installed within 24 hours of installation of inlets. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPWYER 2. Typical building lot controls should be shown on the plan in a typical detail. These controls should include perimeter controls ( silt fence), rock driveways, street sweeping, inlet control and temporary mulch after final grade and prior to issuing the co. 3. The proposed storm water pond should be used as a temporary sediment basin during mass grading. The pond should be excavated prior to disturbing up gradient areas. Diversion berms / ditches may be needed to divert water to the pond and a temporary pond outlet is needed. The outlet could be a temporary perforated standpipe and rock cone. A detail is needed. An additional temporary sediment trap or basin may be needed near future lot 3, Block 1 during rough grading as it appears nearly 10 acres of disturbed area or more is shedding water to the creek in this area. 4. Silt fence adjustment will be needed once the inlet is installed to Pond A. The silt fence will have to be installed up and around the FES so the discharge to the pond is not impeded by the SF and cause erosion of the bank. Stormwater Mangement 1. An adequate easement for pond access for maintenance purposes is needed and should be shown on the plan. 2. It is recommended that the ultimate outlet from the site to Bluff Creek be adjusted to discharge water parallel to the creek flow; presently the outlet is shown to discharge water perpendicular to the flow and could increase bank erosion of the creek. The FES should be turned to the SE to align with the creek. 3. It is assumed the pond located in the NW comer ofthe site is going to be done by others. A outlet location should be shown on the plan. If there are any questions or if I can be of further assistance please contact the SWCD office. Sincerely, Aaron Mlynek, CPESC Urban Conservation Technician c.
