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. Todd Gerhardt, City Manager Autobahn Motorplex - Planning Case 06-34 December 11, 2006 Page 2 These rain events are unusual, but are always possible. There is a certain level of precipitation that no city or individual can protect against. Neither the City nor any other agency or person can promise that all homes will be kept from flooding in all circumstances. However, the proposed project will not result in detectable increases or decreases in the frequency, duration or extent of flooding. A third issue that was brought forward was screening of the project from the residents to the west. As a condition of approval, the developer is required to provide additional landscaping with a total of 23 overstory trees along the northwest property line buffer yard. The applicant will work with city staff to assure that this landscaping is strategically placed to maximize its screening value. In addition, the developer is required to develop a restoration plan consisting of native plant species for the altered upland areas within the primary zone. Finally, the wooded areas immediately adjacent to the wetland area are being preserved as part of the development. RECOMMENDA TION Staff and the Planning Commission recommend adoption of the four motions as specified on pages 11 - 16, as amended, in the staff report dated November 21,2006, approving the project.

LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving rezonings because the City is acting in its legislative or policy making capacity. A rezoning must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 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's discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the proposed project meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance. The City has a relatively high level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation from established standards. 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. If the City finds that all the applicable conditional use permit standards are met, the permit must be approved. This is a quasi judicial decision. SCANNED Location Map Autobahn Motorplex Planning Case No. 06-34 City of Chanhassen Pa~ SUBJECT PROPERTY Bluff Creek Preserve l SCANNED Autobahn Motorplex - Planning Case 06-34 November 21,2006 Page 2 of 16 PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The site is bounded to the north by General Mills, to the east by Audubon Road and the City's Public Works facility, to the south by the Twin Cities and Western Railroad and Chanhassen Business Park and to the west by Bluff Creek and Creekside, a single-family residential subdivision. The clubhouse will be approximately a quarter mile from the nearest single-family home in Creekside. The nearest storage building is 520 feet to the western property line plus approximately 200 feet from the property line to the nearest home. The developer is requesting approval for the construction of a condominium-style storage facility for automobile enthusiasts and collectors, which will also have a clubhouse and museum building for members to meet and showcase automobiles. Site plan review is being performed for a total of 12 buildings consisting of 11 storage buildings with a total square footage of approximately 162,000 square feet and the clubhouse and museum building of approximately 15,000 square feet, including a small office area above the clubhouse. The entrance to the facility will be gated and a fence will be installed around the storage building facilities. Fencing will consist of aluminum or steel construction and be wrought iron in appearance. Maximum fence height is eight feet. Fencing shall also be installed at the extreme western edge of the property across the old farm access at Bluff Creek. The proposed hours of general operation ofthe facility is from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily, which includes access to the clubhouse, communal washing facilities and the assisted car maintenance for owners. The general public will not have access to the site. The owners will have access to their storage units at any time. Car shows or manufacturers' displays, club meetings, e.g. Porsche Club, BMW Club, etc., and corporate meetings would occur occasionally, but be limited to the normal business hours. The intention of the facility is to permit high-end car owners to be able to store, work on and be around other car enthusiasts. However, the majority of the cars will be street legal. Due to the hours of operation and the type of proposed site uses, noise is not anticipated to be an issue. Two building pads are proposed near the entrance to the site off Audubon Road. At this time, the City is not performing site plan review for these sites. Prior to their development, a separate site plan review process will be required. The uses of the buildings would be as allowed in the lOP zoning district. The proposed development will be developed on one parcel, rather than being subdivided. The individual storage units will be owned individually. However, all "members" will own the land in common. This parcel is partially encumbered by the Bluff Creek Overlay District. Section 20-1255 of the Chanhassen City Code requires a conditional use permit for all development within the Bluff Creek Corridor. Staffhas reviewed the mapped primary zone boundary and adjusted the boundary based on site conditions. The applicant has proposed the location of the stormwater pond adjacent to and encroaching in the primary zone. The encroachment into the primary zone requires the approval of a conditional use permit. The project was originally noticed with a Wetland Alteration Permit. Upon review of the data, the City, as LGU for the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act, has determined Wetland Area A Autobahn Motorplex - Planning Case 06-34 November 21,2006 Page 3 of 16 and Wetland Area B to be incidental wetlands because the wetland characteristics developed as a result of a change in hydrology that was not intended to create wetlands. The impacts proposed to Wetland Area A and Wetland Area B are exempt under the Wetland Conservation Act. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed development. APPLICABLE REGUATIONS Chapter 20, Article II, Division 2, Amendments Chapter 20, Article II, Division 3, Variances Chapter 20, Article II, Division 6, Site Plan Review Chapter 20, Article XXII, "lOP" Industrial Office Park District Chapter 20, Article IV, Conditional Use Permits Chapter 20, Article VI, Wetland Protection Chapter 20, Article XXIII, Division 7, Design Standards for Commercial, Industrial and Office- Institutional Developments Chapter 20, Article XXXI, Bluff Creek Overlay District BACKGROUND On June 13, 1988, the Chanhassen City Council approved a land use plan amendment to add 12.2 acres ofthe site to the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) (this represents the eastern portion ofthe site) and to change the land use designation from agricultural to industrial (Land Use Plan Amendment #88-2). The City Council also approved the first reading ofthe rezoning request from A2, Agricultural Estate District, to lOP, Industrial Office Park (Rezoning #88-2) for the southern part (5.6 acres) ofthe eastern portion ofthe site, and the preliminary plat for five lots and two outlots (Subdivision #88-9). On March 22, 1989, the Chanhassen City Council approved the final plat for Audubon Court, which permitted the grading of the eastern portion of the property. The plat was never filed. On April 10, 1989, the Chanhassen City Council approved the second and final reading ofthe rezoning of the parcel from A2, Agricultural Estate District, to lOP, Industrial Office Park (Rezoning #88-2). REZONING The property is guided for office/industrial and parks and open space. Currently, only the eastern half ofthe site is zoned lOP. The proposed rezoning ofthe property to Office Industrial Park is consistent with the land use designation. The western portion of the property was not rezoned to lOP in 1989 because, at that time, it was not located within the MUSA. SITE PLAN REVIEW The developer is requesting approval for the construction of a condominium style storage facility consisting of 11 storage buildings and one clubhouse and museum building. Autobahn Motorplex - Planning Case 06-34 November 21, 2006 Page 4 of 16 GRADING. DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL The site topography is challenging due to the 40-foot drop in elevation from the existing curb cut on Audubon to wetlands; the site also drops more than 20 feet from the railroad to the wetland. The grading plan shows that all of the proposed building pads will be mass graded. Staff examined the feasibility of extending a common drive between the buildings, eliminating the need for the access along the eastern half of the southern-most driveway. However, the developer has indicated that the proposed buildings cannot be designed to have a grade drop within them. The developer proposes to install storm sewer throughout the site to convey runoff to the proposed pond. This storm sewer shall be city owned and maintained. The proposed pond is designed to treat runoff from the site according to NURP standards. The pond is designed to provide rate control for the 2-, 10-, 100- and two (back-to-back) 1 OO-year rainfall events. The grading plan must be revised to show proposed pavement grades for the driveway access to the northern office/warehouse. The grading plan must show proposed pavement grades. Pavement grades must not exceed 10%. The private streets within the development must be constructed to a nine-ton design. An additional spot elevation must be shown on the south end of the storage building immediately west of the northern office/warehouse to ensure positive drainage. Note the proposed rim and invert elevation ofthe storm sewer located at the driveway intersection south of bore hole location #3. RETAINING WALLS Due to the site topography the developer proposes to construct retaining walls at the following locations, as shown on Sheet SP: Location Length Maximum Height (approximate) (approximate) South of the pond 120 feet 8 feet East of the pond 190 feet 14 feet North of the clubhouse 200 feet 6 feet North of the northern storage facilities (2 locations) 50 feet (each) 4 feet (both) West of the northern office/industrial building, near 170 feet 4 feet the northern property line West of northern office/industrial building 500 feet 15 feet Near entrance gate 80 feet 4 feet Retaining walls four feet or higher require a building permit and must be designed by an Engineer registered in the State of Minnesota. Autobahn Motorplex - Planning Case 06-34 November 21,2006 Page 5 of 16 STREETS AND SITE CIRCULATION The developer proposes to access the site from the existing curb cut at Audubon Road. This access location was approved with the Audubon Court final plat in 1989; however, this plat was never recorded. This access is approximately 280 feet south of Park Road. The access spacing guideline for this segment of Audubon Road is 660 feet. The applicant submitted a site plan where the access aligns with Park Road. This alignment was not pursued since the height of the retaining wall west of the northern office/warehouse building would be between 16 feet to 22 feet in order to accommodate this alignment. A private street will extend west to the site, with a gate proposed west of the eyebrow located in the southwest of the southern office/industrial building. The developer must provide a drainage and utility easement over the pavement section that will be used to access the pond for maintenance purposes. The developer must coordinate with City staff to ensure that pond maintenance and emergency vehicles will be able to access the gated area. The width of the drive aisle between southeast of the pond must be minimum 26 feet wide in addition to the proposed parallel parking stalls. The remaining drive aisles within the development meet or exceed the minimum standards. UTILITIES The developer proposes to loop privately owned and maintained eight-inch watermain from the existing trunk watermain on the west side of Audubon Road. If fire code permits, staff recommends that the private watermain be six inch diameter for water quality purposes. Due to the site topography, all buildings within the storage facility will be served by a privately owned and maintained forcemain, which will connect to the proposed eight-inch privately owned and maintained sanitary sewer between the two office/warehouse buildings. The City's construction observer shall be present for all sanitary sewer and watermain testing to ensure that the proposed connections to the City facilities are in conformance with engineering standards. The developer shall pay for the inspection bills and submit a $5,000.00 security to ensure payment of these bills. WETLANDS Three Ag/Urban wetland basins exist on-site. Kjolhaug Environmental Services Company, Inc. delineated the wetlands in September 2006. Wetland 1 is a large Type 4 wetland located in the northwest portion of the site. It contains several forested upland areas, which provide a diversity of habitat. The wetland is dominated by cattail and reed canary grass. A portion of Wetland 1 that is separated from the body of Wetland 1 by a small, narrow upland area is highly disturbed and only appears in aerial photography after site grading occurred in the early 1990s. The City, as Local Government Unit (LGU) for the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act, has determined that that portion of Wetland I is incidental wetland because the wetland characteristics developed as a result of excavation and other disturbances that were not intended to create wetland. The impacts proposed to this part of Autobahn Motorplex - Planning Case 06-34 November 21,2006 Page 6 of 16 Wetland 1 are exempt under the Wetland Conservation Act. No other impacts are proposed for Wetland 1. The site also contains two areas that have been determined to be jurisdictional wetland, although they appear to function primarily as water conveyances. In the wetland delineation report, they are called Wetland Area A (to the west) and Wetland Area B (to the east). Both are located in the south-central portion of the property. They convey water from the adjacent railroad ditches to Wetland 1. The historical aerial photography for the area shows that the ditches existed prior to the grading for the cul-de-sac that occurred in the early 1990s. However, it is unlikely that the ditches supported wetland hydrology and hydrophytic vegetation historically due to the relatively steep grades from the railroad embankment to Wetland 1. When the grading for the cul-de-sac occurred, it altered the drainage patterns between the railroad and Wetland 1. This appears to have caused wetland hydrology and hydrophytic vegetation to develop in both Wetland Area A and Wetland Area B. The City, as LGD for the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act, has determined that Wetland Area A and Wetland Area B to be incidental wetlands because the wetland characteristics developed as a result of a change in hydrology that was not intended to create wetlands. The impacts proposed to Wetland Area A and Wetland Area B are exempt under the Wetland Conservation Act; however, existing drainage patterns should be preserved. The water from Wetland Area A is accommodated, but the plans should be revised to show how the water routed through Wetland Area B will be conveyed to the proposed stormwater pond. The plans should be revised to show only non-exempt wetlands. Wetland buffer areas at least 16.5 feet in width should be preserved, surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland ordinance prior to grading commencing. All wetlands and wetland buffer areas to be preserved should be protected by silt fence during grading. All structures should be set back at least 40 feet from the wetland buffer edge. ARCHITECTURAL COMPLIANCE A carriage-house look is being created that will have a continuity of architectural theme with a variety of trim detail and colors. Size Portion Placement Building differentiation will be through the use of different colored accent colors. Building articulation is accomplished through the use of gable roof projections, cupolas and faux barn doors to simulate a barn and hayloft. Material and Detail Features shall include roof cupolas, cross-buck style decorative doors and loft doors, enhanced door and window trims and gable louvers. Building materials consist of painted, fibrous cement board siding (James Hardie siding) or stucco hardi-plank cement siding. Fa<;ade areas of buildings will have wainscots which consist of stone or brick in natural color tones. The entrance for the clubhouse is projected out from the rest of the building and has a gabled roof above as well as on the ends of the building. The clubhouse building will also incorporate multi- paned windows throughout the eastern elevation of the building. The roof pattern is repeated on the storage buildings. Accents are provided through the use of different colored trim. Cupolas Autobahn Motorplex - Planning Case 06-34 November 21,2006 Page 7 of 16 are proposed in the middle and at the end of the building. The cupola above the clubhouse will be larger and have windows to provide natural lighting into the building. Weather vanes and lighting rods will be used on top of the cupolas. The roof material is metal standing seam. Color The primary building color is either putty-white or light taupe. The stone is Prairie Bluff - Yuma, which has browns and tans and is natural in appearance. Accents will be provided through the use of a range of color including light gray, gray, brown, red, maroon and forest green. The metal roof is forest green. Hei2ht and Roof Desi2ll Building height is 30 feet 6 inches at the top of the roof above the clubhouse. The buildings will have gabled roofs, the roof pitches will range from 3/12 pitch to 8/12. The storage buildings shall have a peak height of roof of 27 feet 8 inches. Substantial eave and gable overhangs shall be incorporated into each building design with highlighted fascia features. Roof articulation is provided through the use of cupolas. A green standing seam metal roof is proposed throughout the motorplex complex. Mechanical equipment is screened through landscaping and placement on the site. Facade Transparency Due to the type of buildings 50 percent of the first floor elevation that is viewed by the public includes overhead doors. Other areas shall include landscaping material and architectural detailing and articulation. The clubhouse building is the only building that will include doors and windows. Additional windows must be incorporated in the eastern building elevation to comply with the 50 percent transparency. Site Furnishin2 Community features include a plaza area in front of the clubhouse and museum. Loadin2 areas. refuse area. etc. Refuse will be stored internally until the date of pick-up. Li2htin2lSi2lla2e Only wall-mounted lighting units are proposed for the development. The lighting must be shielded to prevent off-site glare. A monument sign may be located at the entrance on Audubon Road. The monument sign shall not exceed eighty (80) square feet in sign display area nor be greater than eight (8) feet in height. Wall signage must comply with City Code requirements for the lOP district. A separate sign permit application is require for all signage. Autobahn Motorplex - Planning Cas.e 06-34 November 21, 2006 Page 8 of 16 LANDSCAPING Minimum requirements for landscaping include 20,376 square feet of landscaped area around the parking lot, 24 landscape islands or peninsulas, 82 trees for the parking lot, and buffer yard plantings along the north, east and west property lines. The applicant's proposed as compared to the requirements for landscape area and parking lot trees is shown in the following table. Required Proposed Vehicular use landscape area 20,376 sq. ft. >20,376 sq. ft. Trees/ parking lot 82 over story trees 62 over story trees Islands/parking lot 34 islands or peninsulas 34 islands/peninsulas Applicant does not meet minimum requirements for trees in the parking lot area. Staff recommends that the applicant increase the number of trees in the parking lot to meet minimum landscape requirements. Required plantin2;s Proposed plantin2;s North property line - Buffer 8 over story trees 18 over story trees yard B, 1042' length 15 under story trees 8 under story trees 15 shrubs 64 shrubs Northwest property line- 23 over story trees 1,100' + wetland and natural Buffer yard D,1094' length 45 under story trees area 68 shrubs 14 over story trees o under story trees 69 shrubs Audubon road, east property 14 over story trees 14 over story trees line - Buffer yard C, 740' 35 under story trees 40 under story trees 35 shrubs 44 shrubs Applicant meets minimum requirements for buffer yard plantings along Audubon Road. Proposed quantities for buffer yard plantings along the north and northwest property lines are less than the recommended amounts. The distance, however, between the proposed development and the adjacent land uses is significant and staff proposes that the overstory tree requirement for the northwest buffer yard be met since the size of the trees at maturity will have a long-term effect. The buffering affect of shrubs across that distance is negligible. The quantity of under- and overstory trees along the north property is satisfactory. Staff recommends that plant selections for the landscaping are made primarily from native species. The applicant should focus on incorporating appropriate natives along the perimeter of the development as well as using them in interior plantings. Staff also recommends that the quantities of ash trees be reduced in response to the looming threat of Emerald ash borer. MISCELLANEOUS The building is required to have an automatic fire extinguishing system. The plans must be prepared and signed by design professionals licensed in the State of Minnesota. Detailed occupancy related requirements will be addressed when complete plans are submitted for Autobahn Motorplex - Planning Case 06-34 November 21,2006 Page 9 of 16 building permit review. The owner and or their representative shall meet with the Inspections Division as soon as possible to discuss plan review and permit procedures. OTHER AGENCIES The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies (e.g., Riley-Purgatory-BluffCreek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency) and comply with their conditions of approval.

Subject to the revisions to the plans to assure that a 26-foot drive aisle is provided, staff supports the use of proof of parking. Section 20-1124 (2) w. permits the City to approve a reduction in the number of parking spaces for warehouse uses. CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS 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. Section 20-1255 of the Chanhassen City Code requires a conditional use permit for all development within the Bluff Creek Corridor. The Bluff Creek Corridor primary zone is located on the western portion of the property. The Primary Corridor is designated open space. All structures must meet a 40-foot structural setback from the Primary Corridor boundary as required by Chanhassen City Code. In addition, no grading is allowed within the first 20 feet of the Primary Corridor. The current plans propose Autobahn Motorplex - Planning Case 06-34 November 21,2006 Page 10 of 16 grading within the Primary Corridor for a storm water pond. A variance is necessary to permit the encroachment in to the primary zone. Bluff Creek is entirely within the City ofChanhassen. It provides a unique blend of habitat, vegetation and recreational opportunities through the center of the City. In December 1996, the City of Chanhassen adopted the Bluff Creek Watershed Natural Resources Management Plan (BCWNRMP). The plan was the culmination of several years of study and planning focused on protecting the natural and recreational resources provided by the Bluff Creek corridor. The BCWNRMP recommended the establishment of a primary zone (the creek, riparian wetlands, associated steep slopes, native vegetation) and a secondary zone (other undeveloped portions of the watershed) as a tool to help protect the creek's natural resources. The primary and secondary zones were mapped at that time using aerial photography to provide staff and the public with a general idea of where the zones would lie. Generally, properties within the Bluff Creek Overlay District are subject to the following requirements: 1. A conditional use permit (CUP) is required prior to all subdivision, site plans, land alteration and building within the Bluff Creek Overlay District. 2. Bluffs must be preserved as set forth in Article XXVIII of City Code. 3. Density transfer can be used to cluster development in areas where the location of the primary zone makes portions of the site unsuitable for development. 4. Natural habitat areas within the primary zone must be preserved as open space. 5. The primary zone must be 100 percent open space. 6. All structures must be set back at least 40 feet from the primary zone. 7. The first 20 feet of the setback from the primary zone cannot be disturbed. Staff has reviewed the mapped primary zone boundary and adjusted the boundary based on site conditions. Generally, the Bluff Creek primary corridor can be demarcated on the subject property by the 908 contour, excepting the portion of Wetland I that is incidental. In addition to the land below the 908 contour, the primary corridor includes a small upland area located behind the proposed clubhouse. Due to the significant stand of trees and close proximity to the creek, the primary corridor also includes the wooded knoll in the southwest comer of the property that is bounded by the 908 contour and the railroad tracks. The plans should be revised to show the correct primary zone boundary. Additionally, the primary zone boundary should be terminated at the property lines for the subj ect property because the above description of the primary zone boundary is not an accurate description of the primary zone on adjacent properties. Signage for the Bluff Creek Overlay District should be posted at least every 300 feet along the primary zone boundary. The applicant is proposing alteration within the primary zone of the Bluff Creek Overlay District and within the 20-foot buffer area adjacent to the primary zone. The grading is for the Autobahn Motorplex - Planning Case 06-34 November 21,2006 Page 11 of 16 construction of the stormwater pond and to accommodate buildings and drive areas adjacent to the primary zone. VARIANCE The Primary Corridor is designated open space. All structures must meet a 40-foot structural setback from the Primary Corridor boundary as required by Chanhassen City Code. In addition, no grading is allowed within the first 20 feet of the Primary Corridor. The plans propose grading for a stormwater pond within the Primary Corridor. This is the only feasible location for a stormwater pond due to the site topography. A variance is necessary to permit the encroachment into the primary zone. It is reasonable to grant this variance. As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to develop a re-vegetation plan for the Primary Corridor. MULTIPLE BillLDINGS ON ONE PARCEL Section 20-902 of the Chanhassen City Code permits the groupings of buildings on a single parcel through the conditional use pennit process. Development layout and building design intent is for creating a sense of community amongst the association members. One aspect of accomplishing this is by dividing the building square footage into 14 relatively small buildings that fit in and follow the lot contours as opposed to 2 or 3 large sprawling buildings. RECOMMENDA TION Staff and the Planning Commission recommends that the Phmllillg CElmmissiElll Chanhassen City Council adopt the following four motions and adoption of the attached findings of fact and recommendation: A.

The legal description of the property is: See Exhibit A. 4. Rezoning: a. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan. b. The proposed use is compatible with the present and future land uses of the area. c. The proposed use conforms to all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance with the granting of a variance for the storm water pond within the Bluff Creek primary zone. d. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. e. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the city's service capacity. f. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property. 5. Conditional Use Permits: a. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. b. The proposed use will be consistent with the objectives of the city's comprehensive plan and the zoning ordinance. c. The proposed use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so to be compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area. 2 d. The proposed use will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned neighboring uses. e. The proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use. f. The proposed use will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. g. The proposed use will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, rodents, or trash. h.

The proposed use will meet standards prescribed for certain uses as provided in the zoning ordinance with the granting of a variance for the storm water pond within the Bluff Creek primary zone. 6. Site Plan: a. The proposed development is consistent with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides, including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may be adopted; b. The proposed development is consistent with the site plan review requirements; c. The proposed development preserves the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing areas; d. The proposed development creates a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the development; e. The proposed development creates a functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special attention to the following: 1). An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general community; 2). The amount and location of open space and landscaping; 3). Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and neighboring structures and uses; and 4). Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking. f.

The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification because of the topography of the property. c. The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land, but to locate the storm water pond in a logical location on the site. d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship, but is due to site , topography. e. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located. f. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. 8.

The facility will consist of multiple buildings with the frontage road, Audubon Rd, having two 2 acre lots that will be developed as office/warehouse units. The road entering into the property will be a private road and will serve as the only entrance into the property campus. The elevation drops significantly from the road level (approximately 30 feet) which will shelter the storage condominiums from public view. The emphasis in the complex is on aesthetics, quality construction, privacy and security. The planned use will primarily be high-end storage condominiums and will be built in phases, starting with the Club-House and buildings surrounding the Club-House. We are building in phases so to give our individual customers what they need in amount and configuration of storage space. The site will consist of multiple buildings, each with sprinkler fire protection and digital security cameras as well as individual unit web-cam security access through the facilities web site. Different and better than any other site built or being built, these buildings will have significantly upgraded amenities that will not only set it apart but will aid in the projects success. We are well financed and our customers/members tend to be people with high-end vehicles looking for a safe, secure and upscale place to keep the vehicles and share their passion with other like minded individuals. Our use is extremely clean and environmentally friendly that values the natural beauty that the location brings. The major differences between Autobahn MotorPlex (AMP) and any other storage facility in the area is the quality and location.

The Club House will also be used as an automotive museum and a warehouse showroom serving the needs ofthe condominium owners. There is a growing trend throughout the United States and in fact internationally for the kind of facility that I am building. The following link is a Forbes article regarding the SCANNED I ' trend and what 1 am doing (I am mentioned in the latter part of the article). When you read the article, you will notice that it's focused on "driving track country clubs"; while we are building a storage location in .Chanhassen, it is linked to what I am doing in another location in the State. This is the link and I've also cut and pasted the article at the end of this document for your convenience. http://www.forbesautos.com/news/ features/2006/racing_ clubs.html Facility description: The facility consists of approximately 38 acres with ~ 13.5 being used for building. The facility will consist of multiple buildings with the frontage road, Audubon Rd, having two 2 acre lots that will be developed as office/warehouse units. The road entering into the property will be a private road and will serve as the only entrance into the property campus. The elevation drops significantly from the road level (approximately 30 feet) which will shelter the storage condominiums from public view. The emphasis in the complex is on aesthetics, quality construction, privacy and security. The complex will have multiple buildings with approximately 150,000 sq ft under roof It will be gated and fenced with the planned look as follows: ., · And fence design being of aluminum or steel construction and looking close to this: Access to the campus will be regulated by gated checkpoint using both remote controls and a permanent keypad. Both the Fire Department and Police Department will be given controllers and access codes for entry into the facilities. The facility will be manned during normal business hours. As stated earlier the facility will have multiple buildings with the following approximate architectural themes: The facility will have significant restrictive covenants that will restrict/limit the owners from being able to store hazardous and flammable items as well as limit any outside parking. The restrictive covenants and contract are currently being drafted by an experienced storage condominium attorney. Description of operation The facility is primarily, secured private garage condominiums which allow the owners access at any time. However, the Club-House will only be open during normal business hrs (i.e. 7am till 8pm). The Club-House will primarily be for the convenience of the owners, but will occasionally be used for meeting (i.e. Porsche Club, BMW Club, and Corporate Meetings). The Club-House is designed in a Museum display setting for prominent automobiles. The plan is for the ability to display 16 vehicles in the museum portion of the Club-House. This museum is not open to the public and is for the enjoyment of the club members. Additional planned amenities are a dedicated common "vehicle wash down" bay for use by our members, thus avoiding the need for drains in each of the units. Parkin!!: I am applying for proof of parking. Given that the entire idea of this facility is to store your vehicles, we do not anticipate much need for parking. In the site plan drawings submitted, you will fmd a greater number of parking spaces identified than is required by the City. My request is that we simply do not stripe the parking spots except for around the Club-House. Car News and Reviews Published on 08/01/2006 How to Drive More than 100 mph and Not Get Busted by Andrius Mikonis ForbesAutos.com " . CHICAGO - Do you have a fast car but nowhere to take it out and see what it will do? A driving country club may be coming to a metropolitan area near you. Think golf-country-club amenities but with a racetrack instead of links. It's a place close to home where members can go to exercise their cars and driving abilities in a safe environment without worrying about speed traps. Most importantly, this is not professional racing, but somewhere to drive as fast as you'd like, as often as you'd like. A vintage Porsche races on the Autobahn Country Club's South Circuit. The idea has evolved over the last few years, with four clubs already open and more on the way. Established clubs are attracting everyone from professional drivers and race-car builders to car enthusiasts. The only qualifications members need are a fast car, driving certification to be determined by the facility and, of course, you have to pay to play. The key here is the club component, setting these businesses apart from the traditional racetrack venue by offering regular on-track driving opportunities without having to join a sanctioning body or wait for special events. This most often takes the form of a country-club model, where members pay an initiation fee and annual dues for track access as well as use of a clubhouse and related facilities. ., . ., . " . A prime example is the Autobahn Country Club (ACC), which opened in spring 2005 in Joliet, III., and is a one-hour drive from downtown Chicago. "It's the first purpose-built club of its kind," said founder and president Mark Basso. 'We're getting a lot of interest from around the country." The carefully landscaped 3.57-mile road course winds around 320 acres. Construction on a larger clubhouse with a car museum starts in April to supplement the Autobahn's current building. Members can also lease trackside lots to build their own garages and spectator buildings. This feature is in its third phase, with some 36 already leased in the first two. Each one is fancier than the last, with "pool tables, custom kitchens, even art collections," according to Basso. i I Autobahn Country ciub 'I view Driving Cduntry Club I slideshow ! ------- ~ And men aren't the only ones having all the fun at these clubs. Three primary members are women. Steve Wagner, one of the four founders of the ACC, says there are several members' wives, almost a dozen by his estimate, who come out and drive on a regular basis. Developer Matt Page, who is breaking ground in July on a 1 ,600-acre site near Dallas, says his Racers Ranch country club will feature a combination of Old English architecture and "the look of a Kentucky horse farm." Even garage facilities will resemble stables. There will be an actual equestrian center and 40 five-acre home sites for a true country-ranch-Iiving experience. Page wants the club to feel more like an exclusive and relaxing retreat than a racetrack. Truck access to the paddock will be through a separate entrance to keep the operations behind the scenes. A high level of service, including a concierge, will be this club's hallmark. A quite different club idea is the Miller Motorsports Park, which opened this spring near Salt Lake City. Alan Wilson, who designed Autobahn and many other tracks worldwide, said this setup is based on drivers' clubs at the Goodwood and Silverstone tracks in England and the Sports Car Club of South Africa - which he says are "great social places where at any time you could bump into Formula One drivers." - ~..~ Clubs in Operation: Autobahn Country Club Joliet, Ill.

It will also be open to credentialed members of the visiting race. Home club members not only have ample track use but also free spectator access during races, where they are able to meet and socialize with the incoming group. "The idea is to mix and match elements of motorsports," explained Wilson. Autobahn management feels that opening the private club to car shows is important for business, and hence plans to allow public access to its car museum. "It adds to the excitement of the racetrack atmosphere, but the members will always have a private area to retreat to," Basso said. info@motorsportranch.com VIRginia International Raceway Motorsport Country Club Alton, Va. AnnuaIFee:$21VOfor Virginia/North Carolina residents; $1,200 all other state residents Contact: 434/822-7700 The annual fees differ between each club. Racers can expect to spend $3,000 annually at the Autobahn Country Club; $100 to $175 per month at the VIRginia International Raceway (VIR); and $50 to $75 per month at Motorsport Ranch. Also, the VIR and Motorsport Ranch have additional charges for usage by day or half hour, respectively, while the ACC does not. Most of the clubs in development have pricing posted to pre-sell memberships. "Members are on their own as far as insurance coverage if they wreck their cars, but they are covered as participants under the club's liability insurance," Basso said. The main attraction at all these clubs is a road-racing course, though some of the clubs will offer other driving venues such as kart tracks, skid pads and, less commonly, drag strips and off-road trails. Autobahn is putting the finishing touches on its Wilson-designed half-mile kart track this spring; it's 30 feet wide, so it's also suitable for autocross events. Though driver certification is required by all, typically these tracks are designed with safety in mind, because a wide variety of skill levels will be accommodated. This means ample room to run off the track without hitting anything as well as limiting speeds by keeping the length of the straightaways relatively short. Matt Page, who has also brought Alan Wilson on board, says he wants to have a longer straightaway on one of the courses for only the most competent drivers, as this will be useful for manufacturers that might rent the track for testing. "Everything will be built to Sports Car Club of America standards," Page said. "Safety is first." " . " . Alpine Motorsports Club Saylorsburg, Pa. Contact: 800/795-2638 dsmith@lusa.com Look for it: Construction begins in 2007. Autobahn Motorplex ~ ' Another feature nearly all of these clubs possess is a track with multiple configurations, allowing club members to drive simultaneously and independently while another group can rent another part of the track. You'll see anything from street cars to vintage race cars to motorcycles. Page said he wants to "celebrate all kinds of motorized vehicles," and he wants to make room for "gearheads with muscle cars, even Model Ts." All of these racing clubs run in much the same way, by grouping similar vehicles and drivers together to go out on the track for a predetermined length of time, then the next group goes out. Occasionally, there might be timed racing. Rental customers include car clubs looking for track time; sanctioned organizations holding races; manufacturers for testing, consumer events or training employees; and corporate clients looking for an activity. 'We sold out every weekend and 60 percent of the weekdays," Basso said of the first season. "It takes the burden off the members to have to cover all the operating costs." Location is an important consideration. Back in 2000, the scenic 3.27- mile road course of the Virginia International Raceway was resurrected after a long hiatus and reopened as America's first driving country club. However, it is billed as a resort destination catering to both in- state and out-of-state members. The advantage of a club like the Autobahn is its proximity to a major city - the club is 49 miles from Chicago. "You can leave the office at noon, get an afternoon of driving in and still be home for dinner," Basso said.

The future Alpine Motorsports Club may have one of the best locations, situated 75 miles from both New York City and Philadelphia. The 360-acre site in the Pocono Mountains will feature a four-mile bourse with 220 feet of elevation changes. Alan Wilson designed the circuit with nine different configurations. All the ingredients for a perfect driving country club are there; one novel idea is encouraging members to form "driving groups" who can rent a section of the track to race amongst themselves. Already years into the planning, Alpine will break ground early next year. Bruno Silikowski found a different approach to the proximity problem. His Autobahn Motorplex, located 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, is a 37-acre site that will not have a track, but will have a clubhouse as well as secure, heated storage condos that members can purchase - and depreciate - to garage their racing and other special cars. Silikowski is scouting some potential track locations further out of town, but in the meantime members will have use of on-site facilities for car maintenance, with techs both ~n-~taff and visiting, as well as a concierge to help make arrangements. They will host events like car shows and SCCA meetings, and they will offer a place for like-minded enthusiasts to mingle and watch televised races. "It will be the mecca of motorsports in Minneapolis," said Silikowski. Alan Wilson thinks noise is the biggest problem with getting a new club built in a populated area these days. "The noise issue doesn't have to be a necessity," he said, pointing out that most recreational drivers won't see any difference driving a car on the track with a muffed exhaust. 'These clubs will evolve, and without the noise will no longer be a negative to the surrounding area. Then they will be more socially acceptable." The demand is there. Autobahn has sold out individual memberships and has started a waiting list. Only six corporate memberships remain available. 'We're growing like cra'Z)f," said Basso. Autobahn MotorPlex Architectural narrative This document is an addendum to the project narrative. The entire platted lot area of this development is 1,648,253 Sq. Ft. with a 50' elevation drop from Audubon Road to the wetlands. The development proposal is for 175,763 Sq. Ft. of building area and 275,632 Sq Ft of paved area. The hard surface coverage of the upland.area is 47%, with the balance being green space & natural areas. Development layout & building design intent is for creating a sense of community amongst the association members. One aspect of accomplishing this is by dividing the building square footage into 14 relatively small buildings that fit in & follow the lot contours as opposed to 2 or 3 large sprawling buildings. A carriage house look is being created that will have a continuity of purpose and architectural theme (see attached drawings) but with a variety of trim detail and colors that will create uniqueness. The buildings will have gabled roofs, the roof pitches will range from 3/12 pitch to 8/12. Substantial eave & gable overhangs shall be incorporated into each building design with highlighted fascia features. Walls and roofs are to be highlighted to create a European village feel. Features shall include roof cupolas, cross buck style decorative doors and loft doors, enhanced door and window trims and gable louvers. Fa<;ade areas of buildings will have wainscots which consist of stone or brick in natural color tones (see samples). Roof finishes shall be of pre painted steel, steel to be commercial quality with a minimum thickness of .019". Paint finish to be Kynar 500/Hylar 5000 brand with a 35 year warranty (see samples). Wall finishes will be painted, fibrous cement board siding (James Hardi siding) or stucco (see samples). Architectural variety will be achieved by varying roof pitches, fascia highlight features, cupola style variation and by varying door, window, louver and loft door size and quantity. Architectural variety will be enhanced by building placement on property; floor elevations of buildings vary as much as 25' with some buildings tucked into hill sides to enhance variety. SCANNED MEMO To: Lori Haak, City of Chanhassen From: Bruno Silikowski, Mutual Investments LLC RE: Variance Justification - Autobahn MotorPlex Site This memo supports our appeal for a change or variance to the City suggested Bluff Creek Overlay Line (BCOL). The only change that we are requesting is that instead of using the 908 foot contour elevation we use the 906 elevation. This change results in an extremely little difference in land within the BCOL (see elevation contour map) throughout the General Mills site and our land but does allow low land on our site to be used for ponding. Additionally, there is no impact on the wetland boundaries on either site. The low area on our land includes an incidental wetland. It is man-made and its genesis is a result of grading that was done on the site back in 1988-1989 timeframe (Sathre owned the site at that time, so we know this to be fact). If the appeal is agreed upon, we will only use the difference in the land for ponding purposes and it will, within 2-3 years, take on similar characteristics as the pond/wetland to the north. This area is by far the most reasonable location to place the ponding; it is the lowest point that can be used and this is where the water naturally flows. This ponding point is also the closest natural location that would allow the water coming from the railroad track to be channeled, in fact that water also flow to the area requested. This memo also demonstrates that the best place for the pond is where the incidental wetland is located, adjacent to the main wetland basin. There are many reasons but the most important are a natural water flow, better water quality entering the Bluff Creek, higher quality pond aesthetics, and significantly increased expenses for engineering work, excavating, grading, build ability, and piping. In summary, changing the BCOL from the 908 to 906 elevation is the most reasonable solution for ponding on this site. The only use for the land difference will be for ponding. Additional improvements to the BCOL could also be gifted, such as but not limited to additional plantings adjacent to existing wetland complex within the BCOL. We would coordinate with an Environmental Engineer to determine appropriate improvements to the wetland boundaries and upland to expand or enhance the existing wildlife habitat. We would propose to do this in cooperation with General Mills to provide a more comprehensive improvement plan. SCANNED Sec. 20-58 General conditions for granting a variance- (1) There is undue hardship; it is not being able to use the area of the property where the storm water naturally flows. Reason being the area is currently within the BCOL primary line, and ponding is not allowed within the BCOL. Additional undue hardship is; that the next most logical place to put a storm water pond is along western upland slopes. This is not only a poor place to put the pond from the standpoint of water flow but also from an engineering standpoint (least structurally sound - being placed on a slope) and the storm water won't be filtered as much through the wetland before flowing into the Bluff Creek. Also, flow from existing gullies will not be able to be treated prior to it entering the BCOL. (2) The topography of this parcel makes this property quite different than the surrounding properties, bowl shaped. The overland flow on the site is largely from the east towards the west/northwest lowest. Currently, much of the flow is being directly to the incidental wetland area by actively eroding gullies. This incidental wetland area is where we are requesting a pond to be placed. (3) The variance is requested because it is the most reasonable solution to storm water ponding on this site. It would be the most structurally stable pond location, provide maximum filtering of the storm water and be in the place where the water is naturally flowing. (4) As stated above, the topography of this parcel makes for a natural storm water ponding location. (5) The opposite would occur, placing the ponding on this location will provide maximum filtering for the storm water thus improving the water quality entering the Bluff Creek. (6) If anything, the approval of this variance will enhance the quality of life for the surrounding neighbors, ecology and wildlife. Variance Justification on the 8200 Audubon Road ProDerty. Storm water ponding is always a necessary challenge as a part of the development to protect downstream waterbodies and is somewhat of a peculiar problem on this site. The main body of the site slopes mostly from the east towards theW est, however there is a higher area in the western portion of the site that drains back to the East creating a bowl shape where the storm water naturally settles in the lowest part of the property. In fact, this presents a natural place where the storm water ponding begs to be. Unfortunately, ~25% of the needed storm water ponding falls within the Bluff Creek Overlay, but is still outside the defined wetland boundary, thus requiring a variance for the proposed solution. Striving to create a ponding area that provides the best rate and quality control for all runoff from this site prior to reaching the wetlands abutting Bluff Creek while using the existing topography of the land we worked with City staff and have researched three options for dealing with the storm water ponding; 1. West most pond site; engineering wise it is a volatile structure and least structurally sound because of being built on the side of a hill. Of the options, due to it's proximity to the creek it will also provide the least amount of filtering of the on site storm water discharge from the pond through the wetland before entering Bluff Creek. This pond would provide no treatment or control for the existing off site runoff from the railroad property to the South which is currently eroding two gullies across our site and into the wetland. 2. Moving the proposed ponding site as far out of the Bluff Creek Overlay as possible pushes the pond uphill constraining the available storage volume and yields less in positive control of storm water runoff rate and volume. The pond is proposed to be excavated as deep as possible given the water table of the wetland. This plan which reduces the available storage volume would require us to divert the existing water coming from the two points of the railroad property south of us directly into the wetland, hence not treating or controlling this storm water runoff prior to being dumped into the wetland. This is less than a good plan. 3. The best and most reasonable plan is to allow the storm water pond to be built at the lowest point on the property; this is where the majority of the on site water along with considerable water from the South currently flows. This proposed location uses the existing topography adjacent to the wetland to create a pond of a size that would meet the City and Watershed requirements for quality and rate control, Additionally, this would allow the water coming from the railroad property through the two existing gullies to be directed, treated, and controlled in the proposed pond before discharging to the wetland and Bluff Creek. In this proposal ~ 75% ofthe pond will be located outside the BCOL. We are requesting a variance for the remaining portion of the pond that is proposed within the BCOL. We believe that within a couple of years that this pond would look like and take on the characteristics of the existing wetland/pond area directly adjacent to this same wetland complex to the North. Private entry road This site has prior approval on the entry to the property shown in the sketches and by the physical "curb cut" on the property. We examined the option of moving the entry of the road to coincide with intersection at the North end of the property. This is not a feasible location due to the high degree of sloping on that North section of the property, shown in the attached engineering drawing. The road plan as submitted utilizing the existing curb cut is what our plan is based on.

I went to the city's website for some additional information which was very helpful. Once I read that I went to the developer's website and there was a story on their site about their plans (see below). They are a "race car" and car enthusiast organization and the target market for this type of facility is "race and specialty" cars. The website says they plan to have car shows on the site as well. Cars of that type normally have modified exhaust systems to create that loud sound from the pipes. This raises noise concerns. As you know, this proposed facility would border a natural park like area which is zoned as an agricultural area. The area is lined with homes on the entire west side and a community bike trail on the west side of the wetlands. There is nothing between this proposed site and those homes and the bike path. .~ This proposed facility would hold hundreds of race cars which would be coming and going at ,all hours of day and night. Also those cars could be loaded and unloaded from trucks and trailers, etc. I am sure car shows being held on site would also contribute heavily to the noise. We all know that show cars normally have'lotJd pipes and often loud stereo systems. Would earthen berms be required like the city required from the General Mills expansion thatadjoins this site? Perhaps the berms of the same elevation, with similar plantings on top could be extended from the General Mills site south along the back of this site to block sound and try to preserve some natural look of the area. ,They could put the fence they have in their plans inside the berm and tree line as well. One part of the proposed facility comes a long way west along the railroad tracks. Perhaps the facility could be kept toward the east along Audubon and not come as far west down along the railroad track. This would keep the noise a little further away from the homes. Maybe a nice combination of berms and keeping the buildings a little further from residential homes would work in keeping the noise down. Thank you for your time. Jon Day ht1RjLwww,glYlmlQ1Q@QQIt~J;;()m/RL~~sroQm/lm;t?x,gfmlJJ~==J1?tall~&N~w~1Q==A3.2 Bruno Silikowski found a different approach to the proximity problem. His Autobahn Motorplex, located 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, is a 37-acre site that will not have a track, but will have a clubhouse as well as secure, heated storage condos that members can purchase - and depreciate - to garage their racing and other special cars. "It will be the mecca of motorsports in Minneapolis," said Silikowski. Alan Wilson thinks noise is the biggest problem with getting a new club built in a populated area these days. "The noise issue doesn't have to be a necessity," he said, pointing out that most recreational drivers won't see any difference driving a car on the track with a muffed exhaust. "These clubs will 10/25/2006 Page 2 of 2 evolve, and without the noise will no longer be a negative to the surrounding area. Then they will be more socially acceptable." The demand is there. Autobahn has sold out individual memberships and has started a waiting list. Only six corporate memberships remain available. "We're growing like crazy," said Basso 10/25/2006 Page 1 of 1 Generous, Bob From: Bcheezwiz@aol.com Sent: Friday, November 10, 2006 11 :34 PM To: Generous, Bob Subject: Planning Case 06-34, NO WAY! Dear Bob, I live at 8123 Stone Creek Drive. I very much enjoy the land that is currently being targeted for rezoning and wetland alteration. I am totally against this project and would like to know how to stop it. What are our rights? Who on the city council needs to be contacted? Why would we want to fill in wetlands just to store cars? This is crazy. Why doesn't Mr. Silikowski build this in Plymouth behind his own house? I am fully prepared to rally the neighbors against this. I believe this will drive the value of our house straight DOWN. This will be a huge eye sore. With all of the construction going around our area, do we really need this? Thanks for your reply Brian Guthrie 11/1312006 Page 1 of 2 Generous, Bob From: Jon Oon@marketwiseagservices.com] Sent: Friday, November 10, 20061:07 PM To: Generous, Bob Subject: Autobahn Motorplex Questions Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Red Hi Bob, I was just looking at the website and had a few more questions. Is it OK for me to ask you for information about this, or is there someone else I should go to at the city? . Have you received a photograph of the proposed buildings? I have been looking on the site and have not seen them yet. . Is there any idea how much these units will sell for? What happens if they don't sell all the units? How would the city ever "re-develop" this land if this idea fails? . How many jobs will this create in Chanhassen? . What type of tax revenue would the city gain from this project? If possible I was wondering if I could find out what the revenue for the city would be per unit. . If I wanted to look at the Planning Commissions review and conditions of the General Mills/Pillsbury" expansion that extended into this same general area behind our homes, how can I get access to. that? . Finally, if you can look at the photo below. It contains an aerial photograph of the land from the Carver : . County website. It shows where the current ponds are back here and the trees. Can you send us an image back thatwould show what trees would be destroyed andwhat happens to the second pond? J don't'seea' second pond on their drawing. 11/13/2006 1_ ______n ___ Thanks, Jon Day 8229 Stone Creek Drive Chanhassen, MN 55317 11/14/2006 ~\1\g c~ .<fI. ,. co 1946 ... a .

April 21, 2006 Robert Generous City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Boulevard Chanhassen, MN 55317 Re: Autobahn Motorplex Mr. Generous: The SWCD has taken the opportunity to review the Autobahn Motorplex. Please review and consider the following comments and suggestions regarding the SWPPP.and erosion control and sediment controls. SWPPP 1 - A Storm water pollution preventive plan (SWPPP) will need to be developed for the site and approved prior to issuing a permit. Our office would like to receive and review the SWPPP once it is developed and comment for the city. Erosion Control 1. It should be noted on the plan that energy dissipation is needed on all inlets and outlets within 24 hours of installation. Sediment Control ) 1. Curbside inlet control were identified on the plan, but it should be noted that other proven methods are out there that work better. (Hay bales are not a proven method) Wimco- type, or other comparable inlet controls should be used and installed within 24 hours of installation of the inlets. 2. The proposed temporary storm water ponds needs a detail showing a temporary outlet for these ponds. Also, how will water reach the storm water pond during construction - it should be noted that all areas should be positive graded to the storm water pond. 3. All perimeter controls that will be placed need to follow the cities specification in specific areas. The perimeter controls should be inspected by the city and the SWCD prior to grading. 4. Temporary seeding of stockpiles will be required if left exposed for more than 14 days - these requirements will need to be spelled out in the SWPPP. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Storm water Management 1. An adequate easement for pond access for maintenance purposes is needed and should be shown on the plan. I would like to be invited to the Pre-con meeting prior to starting the project to be introduced to the players ofthe project. If there are any questions or ifI can be of further assistance please contact the SWCD office. Sincerely, Chip Hentges Conservation Technician c.

I would like to submit this note to the commission instead. I would like to thank you for taking the time to come by and see the Proposed Autobahn MotorPlex project from the backyards here in the neighborhood. Like most folks, I have most of my money tied up in my home and that is probably the case for most of the city's employee's and residents. The only hope we have for protection of our property and its value are our officials. People like you! I am opposed to two the project in its current configuration. I am also opposed to rezoning ALL the proposed Ag area into lOP. ( First on the project. I think that the proposed buildings furthest west and south, the two that require a rezoning of the western portion of the site from A2 to lOP should be rejected in their current configuration. The staffstates that rezoning should happen because the "intended use" map shows the area as planned lOP. Since the intended use for part of the site is lOP that is should just happen. BUT, the current land zoned A2also falls in the Bluff Creek Primary Overlay Zone. The current development does not comply with the direction and intent of the Bluff Creek Overlay section of the code. Therefore, I think that there is just as strong a case aqainst rezoning to allow these building based on their lack of compliance with the Bluff Creek Overlay as there is a case for rezoning based on planned use. However,1 am a reasonable resident. IF the project would move toward a more "open space" plan on the western end and include some higher dirt hills and berms, and maintaining as many of the trees that I pointed out to you as possible, then maybe the plan would fit the intent of the Bluff Creek Overlay District. Like others in the area, we built homes and invested in those homes based on the maps the city provides and the code behind the lines on those maps. The following map was scanned off the map received from city hall and it clearly shows that the area currently zoned AG is also in the Bluff Creek Overlay District. It also shows that "park and open space" comes virtually right up to the area where the last building is proposed. Do we really want buildings right in the park area? I .'

People expect that any development in that Bluff Creek Overlay area is going to fit into the natural landscape and comply with the intent of that part of the code. I am sure you know this code inside out. I read it again and in Sec. 20-1552. I made .~note of the part where it says; "Preservation of the natural conditions found in the _ zone and to the greatest extent possible, preserving significant resources and minimizing impacts in the secondary zone through cluster development and other practices which minimize the removal of veaetation. minimize site aradinQ, and application of practices found in the city's Best Management Practices Handbook. It also talks about "Creation of a suitable balance between the amount and arranaement of open space. landscapinQ. view protection. III protection. and veaetation protection and the desian and function of man made features. Creation of an interconnected open space network that preserves migratory patterns for wildlife. Creation of an interconnected open space network that provides recreational and educational opportunities for people. Since this project is not consistent with the goals of the Bluff Creek Overlay, then that should carry as much weight to NOT re-zone as the intended.use does to rezone. However, I think a "scaled back" set of the twowestern most buildings, perhaps down to just one.building or two smaller buildings, could allow for sufficient berms, natural . plantings, etc to make this project fit the goals of the Bluff Creek project. Also if the trees .. that adjoiri.the wetlands could be preserVed to help with a screening effect. If the western end of the project would create a better balance between asphalt and grass, opehspace and storage buildings, naturallandscaping.andfencing, and would offer view protection, vegetation protection, in other words comply with the Bluff Creek Overlay intent, then I could support the project. I am totally opposed to rezoning ALL the A2 area into lOP. If ANY of the A2 land is rezoned, it should be limited to JUST THE SITE of the proposed project, not the entire A2 area as is currently being requested. There is no reason to re-zone the entire area. includina the current wetlands and the rest of the Bluff Creek Overlav district into lOP. DoinQ this would could mean that any prospective buyer of a home alonQ Stone Creek Drive is buvina a home that backs UP to land that would be zoned lOP. A developer with Qood attorneys could Qet the wetlands filled in and have a buildinQ put on the site and next thina yOU know there is a bia factorv or somethinQ out here. Once that entire site moves from A2 to lOP it is a maior hurdle that has been crossed for further future development. Please limit any rezoninQ of this area to iust the site of the buildinQs.
