lot of different opportunities. It allows for a lot more flexibility of programming and also allows us to
have a lighter footprint on the land without creating a huge art center or a huge nature center. We instead
of have 5 very low touch shelters like this. And then the fourth point that I'll bring forward, and again as
I said there's a lot more detail to it, is that we wanted to separate the idea of camp from not camp. Right
now as kids move from one end of the camp to the other they have to walk past the administration
building. Across the parking lot. Sometimes merge with the traffic that's coming in and out of there.
The dumpsters are right there in view and then they finally move through a long area out to the adventure
course. We wanted to feel like once you came to Camp Tanadoona, whether you're coming for the day or
coming for the week, once you came in you were there and you didn't have to deal with garbage and
beeping trucks and you didn't have to deal with, if you were in residential camp, the sort of twice daily
pick-up and drop off of the day campers. So our way to do that is essentially to create a new Tanadoona
path. A main walkway which you can see on this map is the long brown line. It slides farther back into
the forest and then that is separated from the entry drive. You see the gray line coming in there with the
circle on the end of it. A new administration building is what sits at the end of that. The dining hall is
existing which is the next building further on, so you can see there's a separation by both buildings and
landscaping of this pathway which is the camp from the circulation routes which are not and as you enter
camp in one of three points, either into the administration center, through a residential camp gateway, or
through the day camp gateway, once you pass through that gateway you're within camp and you stay
within camp. You don't have to cross a road. I'll show you what that looks like more schematically.
This is a Phase I diagram but you can also see the brown line of the Tanadoona path separated from the
main circulation way. So those are the four again key pieces of the master plan. There's a lot of, oh I
killed your slide show there but there's a lot of other things. I'm going to turn it back over to Mamie and
certainly if you have questions after that I'll be happy to answer them.
Mamie Wells: Alright, thanks Adam. Of course I've seen this power point and this master plan for now
a long time and many, many times and I still am very excited about this. I just want to just remind
everyone, everyone has a role to play in this. Talk about it. Come out and visit us. Ask lots of questions
tonight. Tomorrow. I'm always looking for an excuse to get out of my office and walk through Camp
Tanadoona and stand down by Lake Minnewashta so please see us as a resource. Certainly we want to be
a good neighbor and I invite you to come back out for a little field trip so thank you so much for allowing
us to be on the agenda tonight. Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any questions for Ms. Wells? All we can say is thank you for coming this
evening and for sharing your plan with us. It looks very exciting and we wish you every success.
Tanadoona has been a part of our community for decades.
Mamie Wells: Yes.
Mayor Furlong: 88 years and we'd like, we like the commitment that you're taking in terms of
reinvesting back into that for the next 88 years.
Mamie Wells: That's right. That's right. Well thank you again.
Mayor Furlong: Very good, thank you very much. Anyone else for visitor presentations this evening?

SCANNED
Chanhassen City Council —May 14, 2012
Kate Aanenson: This item for PUD's, Residential PUD's appeared before the Planning Commission on
April 17'h and so this is the first set of PUD's that you're going to see. We've got these grouped into six
and I want to go through a little bit of the summary of the PUD's. What we're doing and give you a little
bit more background on that so I think that will be helpful. This will probably be the longest presentation
but you'll be seeing a series of six of these as we go through the PUD's. So the summary of the PUD's is
the City's done some of these types of processes in the past and we're the actual, we're the initiator of this
process and actually we spent over a year doing the research for all these PUD's. There's upwards of
3,000 lots involved in the PUD process. The City's done this sort of thing before in the past. You may
recall we actually permitted all the non -conforming beachlots so we went back in time. Did the research
on those and permitted those. Most recently we went back and fixed all the commercial and industrial
PUD's so this isn't new to the City. It's a pretty involved process but our residents are appreciative of the
process and the feedback we've got so far so again we divided them into kind of what made sense as far
as the types of developments so this first one that you're seeing tonight is probably the most straight
forward in the fact that they're the most recent PUD's that we've done and so the fix wasn't so great. So
we have had neighborhood meetings. To date we've had two neighborhood meetings on ones that you'll
be seeing in the future. Again the purpose of the PUD, legally if they're over 5 acres for the PUD City
initiative we don't have to have a neighborhood meeting but certainly want to apprise people and give
them the information. Take a lot of phone calls but what I wanted to share with you is what we put on our
website so we've been able to address a lot of our resident's concerns by putting together this website so
I'll go through this in case there's anybody watching at home too but this is our home page. So if you
were to go over here is the PUD's so just go to that page and it's very detailed. Each of the ordinances
put out there so we gave some background, frequently asked questions and I'll just go to that because we
did put that in our staff report and why are we doing this. You'll notice the recent, the more recent
ordinances have been tied back to underlying zoning districts. Sometimes they're silent on maybe the
impervious surface or the like so the PUD's that were created in the 1980's and 1990's reference design
standards. Sometimes they're following a development contract. Sometimes they were found in the
minutes so for the staff, if someone wanted to add on or something it was very cumbersome to try to find
that, and especially someone who's trying to sell their property. Someone wants to make a decision to
buy a piece of property. They want to know if they can add on so for us by going through and codifying
it, it makes it easier for the homeowner in going to the future or someone buying a piece of property to
know that. In addition prior to 1980 there were no design standards for, or no development contracts
existed so it's difficult to find some of those 1970 subdivisions and again during the 1970's anything over
25 lots had to be a PUD so people were forced into this tract. As you recognize we don't do low density,
single family PUD's that often anymore. Really what we believe that the best use is if it's a mixed use
product where there's a couple different types or where we're trying to solve like a commercial or
industrial where we're sharing impervious surface or there are reasons to kind of use that tool but for a
standard subdivision it's our least choice. So with that putting together the frequently asked questions,
you know will my taxes increase. You know will this affect, require me to upgrade our home. We've
talked to a lot of our residents out there and we found some people that were the original owners of their
houses, you know 35 years so that's been really interesting to learn so no. We're not going to make
anybody come into compliance. We found, we bring aerial photos of all the subdivisions so we find back
in the 1970's and 80's when these were built, back then, things have changed but if you can believe this
you know people pulled a permit and the inspection for the lot lines may or may not have occurred.
There might have been additions put in without a building permit. It is what it is out there. We're not
going to make anybody fix anything and we haven't in the past but what it does provide for is someone
buying the piece of property, we always work our residents if they want to pursue a variance, if they're
not affecting something that's non -conforming, there's always an opportunity to examine that issue so
we've communicated that. Again as I explained the benefits of rezoning are the fact that they know what
they have and what they can't do. We have found some people that have historically used a benchmark,
that tree and they find out oh, my neighbor's deck is right on my property line so we've kind of had those
communications and kind of opened up dialogue in the neighborhood which I tend to be good at so, but
8
Chanhassen City Council — M14, 2012 •
so far I think we've learned a lot out there and people looking at maybe showing at the neighborhood
meetings we do have the computer there showing our residents how to find this information, in addition if
they haven't used the County's website, how to get information about their own property on the County's
website so we always like that opportunity to kind of meet with the residents. Again as I stated there's
over 3,000 lots that are in the PUD's. If we can, if we can put it into a straight zoning standard like the
Residential Single Family, a straight zoning district t mean, we will do that and we are accommodating
that in some of the subdivisions. They meet all the criteria so part of the background is, on the other
subdivisions, ones you're seeing tonight aren't going to be that way. They're a little bit smaller but we
find the smallest lot. You know kind of make that the, that's the minimum and so the standards are a little
different for each subdivision so you can't, we don't want to make too many non -conforming. We kind
of take the common denominator to make that work so, and also explain to our residents, things have
changed since when they built their houses. Now we check, we do as -built surveys. We learned that
through problems where we've had people not follow that and grade. Cause water to go onto a
neighboring property, sometimes resulting in litigation. We've also checked for hard cover, so some of
those things that are now done you know a little bit more thoroughly so it's kind of a good starting point
to do this and it's a good opportunity, like I said. We spent a year last year putting all this together and
now we're going forward with that. So with that, 1 was just going to show you one other thing on the
website. So each neighborhood has kind of grouped out here so they can read their own neighborhood,
what their ordinance is for their neighborhood. For example you're going to see this one tonight but
there's the ordinance right there of what they're getting proposed. It's highlighted what we're changing
so a lot of the people we were able to take care of their questions over the phone and when they kind of
understand that they're grateful. Think that makes sense so it's been very helpful to we think convey this
in a planning side that put this together and it's been very helpful. I think again we try our best to let our
residents to kind of be able to navigate through this on their own. We've also had the code book out there
because people have, during these meetings have often asked us can I do this? Can I do that? We have to
kind of figure out where they are so it's been a great opportunity again to connect so with that Mayor and
council, that's kind of the background. Now I'll just kind of go through the staff report.
Mayor Furlong: Mayor, council, before Kate moves ahead. Her staff did a fantastic job of doing all this
research and it kind of gets back to our mission statement providing for today and planning for tomorrow
and that's what Kate and her staff are doing here is planning for tomorrow. You know trying to make a
unified ordinance for everybody to live by. Right now some are silent. Some are different than other
ones and we're trying to bring everybody into compliance and so everybody understands what rules
they're playing under here so 1 just want to personally thank Kate and her staff for taking this big task on.
Most people would just avoid it and deal with the issue as it would arise and so not Kate or her staff.
They grabbed it. They're turning it into a positive. A way to connect with the neighborhood. Explain to
them how the ordinances work and why we have certain ones and it's just been a positive experience so
far so thank you to Kate and her staff.
Kate Aanenson: Thank you Todd. Again I think it is helpful to kind of, if we can take away some of
those roadblocks or what appears to be different standards. That's what we're trying to resolve so it
makes it easier for the development. I think once people understand that, they're very happy with the
process and we certainly know our realtors that are out there are very appreciative because it speeds
things up in the process when someone's trying to list a piece of property so. The other thing I wanted to
mention and Todd kind of touched on this a little bit too is that people today when they're buying a piece
of property spend a lot more time doing due diligence so if there's any ambiguity in a piece of property,
they can't find the documents, it really causes a lot of, for the person trying to sell and the buyer and we
don't want that so I think by bringing a lot of clarity to it, it speeds up that process too so. So with that
we have three ones. Three PUD's that we're looking at tonight. There was a fourth one and that was
Mission Hills. That was actually tabled. The applicant asked us to spend a little bit more time by having
their attorney look at that and that had to do with the commercial part of it so the first one is Arboretum

Village. So this is off the corner of Highway 5 and 41. A little bit of background on this. This was done
in 1990, it was case number 1999-2. 1 know it was approved in 2001 so there's 342 units on 60 acres. If
we can go back, there was a lot of density transfer there regarding some of the areas that was upland,
detached from a large wetland and actually goes over across the street in front of Westwood Church.
That's part of that nice view kind of coming through that wooded area as you go to Camp Tanadoona or
Westwood Church so the density was compressed to the middle of that area. Again what we changed on
this was pretty straight forward. This one we did not have a meeting on these three because the changes
are so minor. What we did is we incorporated into, they were in the development contract. We put them
into the ordinance, the design standards so it was pretty, it's pretty minute so the owners of course were
notified. Anybody in the HOA was notified but not all 300 residents of that. So again we looked at what
the setbacks would be. Kind of put the denominator in based on the product type and then, excuse me
then so that's the main changes we made in that. Any other little nuances. So again it's easy to find.
Anybody looking at a piece of property. Again I just want to point out too, these are the least flexible
type products that we have when you do a PUD because most people don't live in a condominium
association don't usually add on a porch or they may screen something in. The most fluid ones we have
would be a larger lot like Springfield we have a traditional single family home, that's when you have the
most opportunity to add on and some of the complexity goes in. So the next one would be Highlands on
Bluff Creek and this also is kind of just located north of the, or just right and adjacent to the Arboretum
Village. So this one was approved in 2004 and it has 16 units. Again minor change in there. We qualify
the minor lot, minimum lot size. Sometimes what happens is someone does want to make a little minor
change. They can acquire a piece from another property if they can do a minor lot adjustment so we put
those in there and the design standards. So it would tie back into the R-8 zoning district so anything the
code is silent on, if you want to do a home occupation, so the referencing by that allows people, people
ask those kind of questions too so it gives you that underlying reference for that too. And then Liberty on
Bluff Creek was case number 2005-11. Approved in 2005. That has a total of 444 units and that was not
built out yet. Again the owners were notified of that in the HOA. Again the design standards were
incorporated into this project. Again this is a right application of the PUD where we did some transfer.
Compress the density. Preserve some of those green spaces and then we have 4 different products up
there so again the architectural standards were put in and they're all attached into them but they've made
modifications on those so those are all pulled in there so they're easy to find again when the properties are
sold or the HOA decides they want to go back and re -side or something like that, what was the standards
that were put in place. Now certainly when it's a PUD and if they wanted to come back let's say in 10
years and they wanted to re -side or something and they wanted to amend those standards, they always
have that right to come back to you and say we'd like to make some changes certainly to the PUD but it's
all into that ordinance and that's how it would be accomplished. So unless there's specific questions what
we have in front of you tonight then would be the revisions. We did a strike out but then there's Findings
of Fact for those and then we also put together an ordinance for each of those PUD's so with that I'd be
happy to answer any questions that you might have.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Questions for staff. Councilwoman Ernst.
Councilwoman Ernst: Thanks Kate for all your work on this. I guess one of my questions is, is how did,
what was the reaction at the neighbors? Was it favorable? Not favorable?
Kate Aanenson: Yes, yes. Very favorable. A lot of people had kind of fear of the unknown of what we
were trying to do and a lot of people recognized, especially when those houses built in the 70's and 80's,
there may not be permits on some things. It is what it is. What's out there is out there so again if
someone wanted to add on, we would look at that on a case by case, just like we would anyways to go
back and try to figure out what they're estimate, you know see what their hard cover is. Some people are
over and it is what it is so we'll just try to work with them, our homeowners and we, the people that
showed up I think were kind of expecting that we were going to try to clean up. No. We were not trying
n
Chanhassen City Council - t 14, 2012
to do that. We're just trying to make it easier for everybody to understand what they had so when they do
come in and want to make some changes, because over time people are going to, the new buyers are
going to maybe want to look at some additional changes or those sort of things so I think they've been
appreciative of the process that we're going through.
Councilwoman Ernst: Thank you. The other questions that I had is on the Mission Hills. I noticed that
on these that you highlighted, those were the changes that were made, correct.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah.
Councilwoman Ernst: But in Mission Hills there were some, all the highlights in there were struck out
Kate Aanenson: Mission Hills actually we are not going to do tonight.
Councilwoman Ernst: And that's why it was struck out?
Kate Aanenson: Yeah, that's why it was struck out, yeah. Yeah, then we attach the original staff report
instead of pulling that part out. Mission Hills also includes a small piece that was neighborhood
commercial or that wanted to make sure we weren't doing any changes. We said in the comp plan we
think it might be difficult to accomplish but we're not going to change that so I think they just wanted to
make sure through their legal counsel that that was, they understood what we were trying to accomplish.
That we weren't trying to take that away from them so.
Councilwoman Ernst: Okay, thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Any other questions for stab? Again thank you for the effort for this.
Kate Aanenson: You'll be seeing more.
Mayor Furlong: And being able to connect and also to clean things up. 1 agree with Mr. Gerhardt, you
know rather than just waiting til things come up to us and react, kind of set, start with a clean slate and
here's where we are and we can go forward and everybody playing by the same rules so I think that's
helpful. If there are no other questions for staff, any comments or concerns over what's being proposed
here? If not, if there are other comments or if someone would like to make a motion.
Councilman McDonald: I'll do the motion
Mayor Furlong: Mr. McDonald.
Councilman McDonald: City Council approves the attached ordinances rezoning the following Planned
Unit Developments: Arboretum Village, Highlands at Bluff Creek, Liberty on Bluff Creek and adopt the
attached Findings of Fact.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Is there a second?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Second.
Mayor Furlong: Motion's been made and seconded. Any discussion on the motion? Hearing none we'll
proceed with the vote.
Chanhassen City Council — May 14, 2012

COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS.
Mayor Furlong: Council presentations this evening
Councilman Laufenburger: I have one.
Councilman McDonald: I got one.
Mayor Furlong: Are you guys comfortable with who's going first?
Councilman Laufenburger: Mr. McDonald clearly.
Councilman McDonald: I was just going to bring up the fact this past weekend you know the Rotary held
their annual Tulip Festival. I believe that's right isn't it?
Mayor Furlong: It was Saturday night Jerry.
Councilman McDonald: Well, no 1 just wanted to.
Mayor Furlong: Oh the Tulip Festival, yes. Tulip Gala. Yes.
Councilman McDonald: Tulip Gala, yeah which you know the Rotary takes this opportunity to recognize
an outstanding citizen of the community each year that's voted upon by all of the civic organizations and
governmental organizations within the community and I guess what I'd like to say that this year is that
Tim and Ginger Mulcrone were our winners. Tim was a policeman in Minnetonka. Spent a lot of time in
the community you know gave back a lot to the community through Rotary Tree House. Well the Rotary
Club with you know eradicate polio so he's been all over with that. And Ginger is just as big a go getter
again. You know she's been involved in a lot of activities and I think that it was really good because
again what it showed is that we do have people within the community that really believe in giving back to
the community and I think that all of these people who have been recognized over the past couple of years
really are a credit to our community. The other thing that was interested, and I'm sorry that Ms. Wells
left but that was the charity this year for Rotary and within about 20 minutes we raised $13,000 in just
donations from the floor and the Rotary was going to match that with another $10,000 so I think that
that's going to help them go a long ways toward hopefully getting their vision and improving Camp
Tanadoona so again I'm quite proud of what the Rotary does each year especially for giving back to the
community but it was a fun time had by all and really want to thank everyone who came out and
supported it and look forward to it again next year.
Mayor Furlong: Very good, thank you. Councilman Laufenburger.
Councilman Laufenburger: Well there was, thank you Mr. Mayor. There was another event that occurred
this weekend, I don't know that it'd have the lasting significance that the Rotary Tulip Gala did but the
Chanhassen Red Birds did have their home opener this weekend on Sunday and it was, they played
against the Gaylord Islanders and they won. If you hit F5 1 bet it will go. Yeah, they played against the
Gaylord Islands and beat them 8 to 4 and we have a few pictures. Here's Bun Walker opening the,
greeting people as they arrive. We have new helmets this year and new jerseys that are in place and we

A.fissie ft 1Wls

and adopt the attached Findings of Fact
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
Staff is recommending revisions to the Planned Unit Development Ordinances
(PUDs) for Arboretum Village, Highlands at Bluff Creek, Liberty on Bluff Creek and
Mission Hills to reference the appropriate underlying zoning for the development and
codify the minimum lot requirements. This is the first of six groups of Planned Unit
Developments — Residential that staff will be presenting for public hearing and
amendment of the existing PUDs.
BACKGROUND
Staff brought this issue to the Planning Commission on June 21, 2011, September 6,
2011 and January 3, 2012. The following discoveries were made after researching
the different ordinances:
• The more recent ordinances reference the underlying zoning districts;
however, they may omit language that ties the standards to the rest of the City
Code.
• The PUD subdivisions created in the 1980s and early 1990s reference the
Design Standards as part of the Development Contract, rather than with the
adoption of the Design Standards in the PUD Ordinance.
• Prior to 1980 no design standards or development contracts exist.

PUBLIC HEARING:
RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD-R) AMENDMENTS: REOUEST TO
AMEND THE FOLLOWING RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS:
ARBORETUM VILLAGE, HIGHLANDS AT BLUFF CREEK, LIBERTY ON BLUFF CREEK
AND MISSION HILLS. APPLICANT: CITY OF CHANHASSEN, PLANNING CASE 2012-04.
Generous: Thank you Chairman Aller and commissioners. A little background on this. As you're aware,
as staff has been reviewing the planned unit developments for the residential projects within the
community to determine whether or not they adequately address city code requirements as well as provide
sufficient standards for people to understand how and why their property may develop as it is. Before we
go any further, we've divided the planned unit developments in the community into six different groups.
We'll be bringing them to you in those batches and we try to organize them geographically so people that
are in the similar areas will be together. This is the first public hearing that we have. We will have the
other ones in May, June, July and the last one will be done in August hopefully. This group is coming
forward because it's, we believe it's the easiest one. The majority of the standards were in place as a part
of the development and were included in the original ordinance. As you are aware that sometimes the
ordinance didn't reference city code adequately and so we want to make sure that we can reference the
city code and control such issues as home occupations which are regulated under the supplemental
regulations in city code. It provides standards that allows people to use their homes for an office but it
limits the size and the people who can live, the number of visitors they have and the number of employees
and things like that. Without these references to city code there is some discussion or whether or not we
can adequately protect the community. We believe these amendments will actually be beneficial to the
property owners because we will provide the minimum standards for the lots within the developments,
especially within the townhouse projects, but as you see some of the future single family ones, they're all
over the range in the setback requirements, the minimum lot sizes and other standards that were very
specific to those units. Each planned unit development is very unique. It was based on the proposal. We
have before you 4 planned unit developments.
Aanenson: Bob, if I could just interrupt for one second. I just want to point out too. While we've got
them grouped we're also going to have neighborhood meetings. As Bob indicated, the ones that you're
seeing tonight are the less complex ones so they weren't, so we're notifying each person in those
SCANNED
Chanhassen Planning Commission — April 17, 2012 •
subdivisions. Some of those go back, as Bob says like in the 1980's so while we've got, broken into a
series of meetings before the Planning Commission, we're also having a meeting with those associations
because some of the HOA's may or may not be as active as some of the attached product ones. We are
putting together maps for each neighborhood. What we know about their association. What definitions
were put into a development contract. How they were assembled and what the rules are now and the
benefits of what we're trying to do so those meetings will be held before they come to Planning
Commission. And also I wanted to let you know that we have set up a website so everybody gets a
postcard. They're either contacting Bob directly and then they're also being directed to go to the website.
It gives a little bit more background of what we're going to be talking about tonight but I just want to
make sure that that's on air tonight for our residents too if they want additional information. We keep,
when we get frequently asked questions we're trying to add to that too so if we get questions or if you
generate some questions tonight that we think might be, someone else might be asking, we'll put that out
on the website too to help people understand the process that we're going through so I just wanted to
make sure that our residents at home that may be watching too are also aware of that. That they'll, they
have an opportunity to meet before the public hearing.
Aller: Great, thank you very much and the viewers at home are reminded that everything that we do is on
the website. The minutes of previous meetings are found there as well as agendas for upcoming meetings
so keep your eyes there and you'll see everything that we're performing and what tasks were coming
before us so, Bob.
Generous: Okay, thank you. The four planned unit developments we're reviewing today are Arboretum
Village, Highlands at Bluff Creek, Liberty on Bluff Creek and Mission Hills. I should point out that one
of the property owners in the Mission Hills development who owns a commercial piece has requested that
we table his item until the June 5th public hearing. He wants his attorney to have the opportunity to look
at the proposed changes and it's implications on his land. And so while he requested that, because there
was a residential component to that I did want to at least bring it forward so that residents could see
what's being proposed now and then like I said we'll request that it be tabled to the June 5th Planning
Commission meeting. So with that the first project that we're looking at is Arboretum Village. This was
originally approved in 2001 and it provided for 342 dwelling units. It consists of twin units and then
different styles of townhouse developments. It's located at the northeast corner of Highway 5 and 41 and
unfortunately my map didn't show but this is not part of the development area. That's actually Highlands
at Bluff Creek which is the next one that we're reviewing because it was in this location my map showed
when I made this to show the location. As you can see the lot sizes are very varied in this and so it's a
very specific development. However these condominium units are the smallest ones and that's where we
base the minimum standards on. So like I said these are, we believe these are minimum amendments to
the PUD's. First we're amending the intent portion and it's really the last sentence that says, except as
modified by the standards that are currently in the ordinance for the mixed density residential
development. They should comply with the R-8, Mixed Medium Density Residential District, which is
our standard zoning for townhouse developments. And one issue with leaving it at that is if we use that as
our standard the minimum lot size is 7,500 square feet per unit for a townhouse development. As you can
see later in this PUD, the minimum lot area that we discovered within this project was 835 square feet.
This is because what they did is they just platted the lot around the unit and they have large areas of
common open space so they were able to maintain the overall density that's required under our
comprehensive plan for that smaller lots that individuals would purchase so there's a lot of common space
within this development. The other, the change for the interior lot lines within the development, there are
no setback requirements. It's only from the perimeter of the development that we generally have setbacks
or from public streets. The hard surface, the rest of this was in there. The lot requirements, the minimum
lot width that we discovered is, in reviewing this development was 26 feet in width and the minimum lot
depth that we found was 45 so those would be the minimum standards that would be approved within this
project.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — April 17, 2012 •
Aanenson: So one of the frequently asked questions is why would you be referencing the R-8 zoning
district and I think Bob touched on it but I think it might be helpful just to dove into that a little bit. The
R-8 also talks about parking standards, which is what we look at when we review a project. We always
provide additional guest parking and some of those sort of things. Any other thing that would be in the
residential R-8 district, what might be some other things like.
Generous: Well potentially accessory structures could be an issue that's addressed in the R-8 district
regulations. There are some uses, home occupation is a big one that we run into where we have standards
for the development. Those are generally.
Aanenson: Those are probably the main ones that ties it back to now. With a lot of these associations
then would also have their own covenants that the City doesn't enforce. So if they're silent on that, the
covenants, then they might call the City to say can I have a daycare in my, can I teach piano lessons?
Those are the things that the City ordinance would allow if the homeowners associations by-laws are
silent on that issue then someone may want to do piano lessons or something like that. So this is what
we're trying to tie that back to, if that makes sense.
Generous: And attached to, at the back of the report are the Findings for the recommendation as well as
the individual ordinance for that development that contains all the design standards if you will for, that
were approved for the project including the proposed amendments that we have. So that's, as far as
Arboretum Village those were the only changes that we saw. Just an update to that.
Aanenson: Just a minute, Chair did you want to go, have us go through all of them or see if there's any
questions as we go or?
Aller: I was just going to suggest that we go ahead and take them one at a time if we could so that way
we can finish up with each one and then we can deal with either a motion or motions after we're.
Aanenson: Yeah
Generous: Well staff is recommending approval of the ordinance amendment for the Arboretum Village
Planned Unit Development Residential.
Aanenson: And again I want to emphasize, I think the main difference between all these PUD's when
they come through the process is, they have architectural standards. Then that's what the City would
have the regulatory control over. As far as the HOA by-laws, those are all different too but we wouldn't
enforce those so when Bob was talking about the ordinance that's attached, that's a lot of what our
language is, would be specific to architectural standards for that district. Any other preservation of a
natural feature. Some wetland things. That would be kind of parochial to that project, but otherwise that
would just be referenced then by the R-8.
Aller: Okay. Any of the commissioners have questions regarding this particular project?
Thomas: No, I do not.
Hokkanen: Do not.
Aller: Okay. Commissioners, do you want to go ahead and open a public hearing on this particular
project first and have them one by one? Probably sound appropriate?
Chanhassen Planning Commission — April 17, 2012 •
Thomas: Sure.
Aller: So at this point I'm going to go ahead and open the public hearing on Arboretum Village zoning
standards. Anyone having anything to discuss regarding Arboretum Village, if you wish to come
forward, now is the time to do so. State your name and address for the record. Seeing no one come
forward, I'm going to close that portion of the public hearing and then open for discussion. Does
anybody have any questions subject to the earlier discussion? We've had opportunities to read it. It
makes sense to me. Brings everything into line and so with that I'd entertain a motion with regards to this
particular project. Or do you want to do that?
Aanenson: Do you have a motion Bob?
Generous: Well I do but it was.
Aller: We'll do that at the end.
Thomas: At the end.
Aller: We'll do that at the end so Bob, why don't we go ahead and do Highlands.
Generous: Okay. The next development is Highlands at Bluff Creek. It's located at the northeast comer
of West 78m Street and Highway 41. It's just north of the Arboretum Village development. It was
approved and I believe it was a 2004 development for 16 townhouse units. There are 3 and 4 unit
buildings that were approved as part of the development. One of the interesting things about this one is it
was one of the first developments that we had the Bluff Creek Overlay District so the area, this is part of
the subdivision. It's the primary zone. It was preserved. It's being preserved as permanent open space
and the City became the owner of that property so and then there are setbacks. There was a variance as
part of this to allow them closer to the primary zone so, because it was really unique. This was once a
farm site. The proposed amendments are to provide the reference to city code again to the R-8 district
regulations as an underlying zoning except as modified within the PUD ordinance for Highlands at Bluff
Creek. We established the minimum lot size based on 3,000 square feet. Again the difference between
the R-8 district and this district is that the minimum lot size for a townhouse development is 7,500 square
feet. Again we used the PUD to preserve common open area, or in this case the Bluff Creek primary zone
and got it in under City control and protection, which is a very important corridor within our community
both for, it's natural value and the open space that it provides us. Minimum lot width is 36 feet and
minimum lot depth is 85 feet. And those are the only changes that we're proposing as part of the
Highlands at Bluff Creek development.
Aller: Okay, so very similar to the first one. The only changes are we're adopting as part of our code the
minimums that are present there now. Okay. Any questions from commissioners?
Colopoulos: I have one regarding the R-8 definition itself under Section 20-655. Water requirements and
setbacks. Under Section 1 it says (a), for a two family dwelling 7,500 square feet which is I assume what
you got your number from Bob but then underneath that in (b) it says for townhouse or multi -family
dwelling 5,500 square feet so kind of wondering why that doesn't apply in the case of a townhome
development.
Aanenson: Well that's why you did a PUD. You can create whatever minimum lot size you want and the
reason the PUD was applied is that the extraction of the Bluff Creek corridor. Bob didn't necessarily the
project before, Arboretum Village also dedicated everything north of that as part of the preservation area
and actually that preservation area also went across on 41. The trees and wetland complex that's in front
Chanhassen Planning Commission — April 17, 2012 •
of Westwood Church so the City has to evaluate when we talk about that and when we looked at the PUD
ordinance, that you're trying to get a higher quality. Better design by preservation of some natural feature
so to get the, you wouldn't have gotten those small lots but for there was an area of preservation to tie into
that corridor.
Colopoulos: Thank you.
Aller: And I think the commissioner is pointing out too that, are we I guess the question is, are we
reducing that 5,500 square foot minimum then.
Generous: To the 3,000.
Aanenson: Right.
Aller: And that, to clarify that it's a 3,000 foot minimum. Not 5,500 at this...
Generous: Right. Otherwise we, if we could just reference the underlying zoning we would create non-
conforming lots out of all of these parcels through...
Aller: Inbetween 3,000 and 5,500.
Aanenson: And that's really the heart of the issue. If it's silent then it goes to the R-8 unless it's
specifically called out and that's why we're trying to make sure it's clear what that lot size is. Yeah, so
and this is what we've, Bob's been going through all these. If someone was calling on a piece of property
that wanted to list their house for sale and someone wanted to buy it, they're trying to figure out what
legitimately is my lot size. What's my minimum so this is trying to clarify all those going back to the
1980's.
Aller: Okay. We then need to open then a public hearing regarding the Highlands at Bluff Creek. And if
anyone wants to come forward, they may do so at this time. Seeing no one come forward I will close the
public hearing. Comments. Questions. Commissioners.
Thomas: No, none from me.
Aller: Okay. And then Bob we'll go ahead and move forward with the.
Generous: With the next planned unit development is Liberty on Bluff Creek. It's located at Bluff Creek
Boulevard and Audubon Road or County Road 15 I believe it is. Again this is a development within the
Bluff Creek corridor and we preserved large areas of the, you can just see a part of it in the northeast
corner of this site and this extends actually up further north and there's a trail system that goes down and
connects to Bluff Creek Boulevard and then this is a tributary to Bluff Creek on the south side. It's again
we're having common open space as part of the development. Allow the individual lots to be smaller but
you keep the same density as permitted within the comprehensive plan. This is a, I didn't highlight this
one but again we reference the R-8 district regulations as the underlying zoning category so we tie it back
into all the city code requirements except as we have in here. The interior lot line setbacks is zero feet
within the project. Again setbacks are from the public street or right-of-ways. The hard surface coverage
in this case, we wanted to note that it's over the entire development because we have these large areas of
upland that are preserved rather than you know sometimes we have wetlands and those really don't earn
as good a trade off for hard surface coverage because they don't contribute to percolation in the ground.
The one, the unique thing about this we're adding the minimum 20 foot driveway length as part of this
development. It was approved as part of the review but it was never codified anywhere and so we wanted
Chanhassen Planning Commission — April 17, 2012 •
to make sure that it was included in there. Again we look at the minimum lot area in this and this was
based on a per unit because of the number of condominium units that they have within this development.
We took that area of the, because they platted large lots and common ground but individual units are
owned by persons. And then we looked at the smallest townhouse lot which was 25 feet and the smallest
depth which is 50 feet for a townhouse so that's it. And then this one has extensive residential
development standards. They were based on the plan prepared by Westwood Professional Services and
there were changes that were approved and listed here in October of 2010, August of 2011 and October of
2011. And we go through it's just the bottom elements of those design standards are the revisions that
were added to the design standards because it was through trial and error with marketing of the individual
units that what people wanted and also the early designs had some unique roof structures that were
eliminated in later models so, and so they have the Premiere units, the Regency units, the Chateau units
that have changes that have been adopted and so staff is recommending approval of these amendments to
the PUD standards or PUD zoning for the Liberty at Bluff Creek. On Bluff Creek, I'm sorry.
Aller: Okay. Any questions from commissioners? And again we're looking to modify only as the lowest
common denominator so it'll be all inclusive and so we're going to reduce problems in the sale or future
use of the homes.
Generous: Yes, when they call the City and they ask for the zoning of the property we will actually have
something that contains all the unique standards if you will for that development.
Aller: Great. Okay. So now I open the public hearing on Liberty on Bluff Creek. Anyone wishing to
come forward, please do so at this time. Seeing no one come forward, I will close the public hearing.
Again questions, comments. Then we'll move on to Mission Hills.
Generous: Mission Hills is located just north of Highway 212 and 101. There are three components to
this development. The most easterly is a standard single family residential development, detached
housing off Mission Hill Lane I believe the street name is. Then you have fourplex units and other
townhouse units within the development. There are actually two phases. I believe the southern ones are
the villas and the Mission Hills 2 Addition are the fourplexes. The most easterly outlot was part of the
original planned unit development was specified for a neighborhood type commercial uses but it didn't
specify what the standards were for that. There were some about signage and lighting and things like that
but not minimum lot size or anything. For the commercial portion we are referencing the BN district
regulations as a standard for that. Right now, as part of the original approval they would be limited to the
one parcel so in the future they could come in and do a subdivision if they comply with the BN district
regulations. And then for the residential component, for the mixed density housing we're looking at the
R-8 again and for the single family detached we're looking at the RSF district regulations as the fall back
regulations for the standards within the development. Again as I told you earlier the property owner for
the commercial portion of this requested that we not act on this one and that we table any decision until
the June 5`s Planning Commission meeting so again there's no real timeline on this. We're trying to get
through all of them by the end of the summer or early fall with the council meeting so.
Aller: And we're expecting to hear several others on the 5'"?
Generous: Yes, we'll have a whole new group.
Aller. Okay.
Generous: And with that, we can go into that later. Again here we adopted the interior lot line standards.
There's zero setback required within the development. However we did want a commercial parking
setback especially from the residential and under the comprehensive plan there's a buffering requirement
Chanhassen Planning Commission — April 17, 2012 •
between commercial and residential developments so if along that eastern edge it does eventually, it
develops as commercial we'll see additional green space in there. The development standards, just as you
unique then, I referenced the underlying subdivision for the minimum lots for the Mission Hills portion of
the development. That means if anyone wants to change any lot lines in the future they're going to have
to do an amendment but these were all, and then they further took those subdivided lots and create a
condominium unit so we reference all of that. We don't anticipate there'll be any changes but if it is
they're going to do, need more than just the code amendment and they're going to have to get everyone to
agree to something. And then for the Mission Hills 2" a Addition again rather, the R-8 district regulations
are more stringent than what was approved as a part of this development. They're down to 2,100 square
feet per unit with a 46 foot width and 47 foot depth were the smallest lot dimensions. The one additional
change we recommended is because this referenced lighting, the City has amended our code to reference
the LED lighting for the area lighting and we'd like to give this development that same opportunity. With
that, that's.
Aanenson: Bob, can you go back to the original map? That one. Mission Hills Lane. Are you showing
that as part of this subdivision?
Generous: Yes.
Aanenson: Isn't that a separate phase?
Generous: That's the RSF district and it complied with single family residential.
Aanenson: So we didn't touch on that but because that, we might want to make note of that when it goes
to council that, that it complies with the RSF.
Generous: The RSF.
Aanenson: So I just want to make sure when you're looking at that, maybe you can point to that area
Bob. That's part of Mission Hills but it is in compliance with our Residential Single Family zoning
district so there's, you can take that out of the PUD per se because it would reference, it meets all the
criteria of the Residential Single Family zoning district anyway. In those circumstances were, when
we're going through these, if we could find just a standard zoning district instead of a PUD because
sometimes that's onerous for residents to try to navigate through that when they're transferring property,
we're going to try to do that and this is a circumstance I think we kind of brushed over that. That it meets
an underlying zoning district so it's less encumbered if that makes sense.
Aller: Will that fall out then on it's own or will we need to take action on that in order to make it easier
on those homeowners?
Generous: You could direct us to take the single family portion out of that and rezoning that to RSF. The
last group that I'm actually proposing to bring to you are all things that we're proposing to go from
planned unit development to straight zoning so we could take that phase.
Aanenson: Yeah, I guess 1 didn't quite catch that in our report and I'm sorry for the ambiguity but I just
want to make sure that if it's part of the Mission Hills, if we want to capture it now, or if we want to do it
later.
Alley: Well I would assume we want to do it later to give the homeowners an opportunity, if there was a
reason.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — April 17, 2012 •
Aanenson: If they haven't been noticed, correct.
Alter: For them to come forward to do that.
Aanenson: Correct. They haven't been noticed with this but we'll take about it, make not of that, that
that will circle back to that one.
Aller: Let's do that. It makes sense to do something for the residents in that community so.
Aanenson: Right. Because it wasn't noted in this report because that minimum standard would be
different than the reason I bring up that minimum standard when you're looking at that, the 2"d Addition
would be greater than the minimum 2,100, correct Bob?
Generous: Right. But those standards were only adopted for the mixed density. The townhouse portion.
We reference again the RSF. We could have pulled it out.
Aanenson: We could. I'm just saying that there is another phase here that we didn't talk about and I just
want to make sure for anybody watching this, well what happened to my piece of property. That we're
still tracking that one and that will come up with all those that we're doing in the future.
Generous: That we'll do the straight zoning for because those, well it's Mission Hills. It's, I can list the
lots and blocks specifically on that and you'll see some of the future ones we have based on the lot and
block, there's different setbacks. It's quite unique.
Alter: Okay. Any questions? Other questions?
Thomas: No.
Alter: Okay, we'll open up the public hearing portion for Mission Hills. Anyone wishing to come
forward? No? Okay. We'll go ahead and close the public hearing portion and comments. The only
comment I have is we might want to desire to go ahead and honor the request to table Mission Hills to
give us a second opportunity to look at this area as well. Maybe we can clear up the report and take that
out and then we can deal with that at that time as well as honor the residents an opportunity and request.
Colopoulos: Do we need a motion?
Alter: I do.
Colopoulos: So moved.
Thomas: No, you have to read it.
Colopoulos: I have to read it.
Thomas: You have to read it.
Alter: And then modify with the.
Colopoulos: How about staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the Planned Unit
Development Residential zoning ordinance amendments (rezonings) for Arboretum Village, Highlands at
Bluff Creek, Liberty on Bluff Creek and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — April 17, 2012
Aller: And recommendations.
Colopoulos: And recommendations.
Generous: That's it.
Colopoulos: That's it, alright.

Hokkanen: I second it.
Colopoulos moved, Hokkanen seconded that the Planning Commission approve the Planned Unit
Development -Residential zoning ordinance amendments (rezonings) for Arboretum Village,
Highlands at Bluff Creek, and Liberty on Bluff Creek and adoption of the attached Findings of
Fact. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
Aller: And then, why don't we have a separate and second motion to table.
Aanenson: Yeah.
Generous: Yes.
Thomas: Yeah, I recommend that Planning Commission recommends that we table the Mission Hills
PUD until we have a chance to review it and check it out.
Aller: Okay there is a motion to table. Do we have a second? Did I hear a second?
Undestad: Second.
Aller: Thank you.
Thomas moved, Undestad seconded to table the Planned Unit Development -Residential zoning
ordinance amendment for Mission Hills. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously
with a vote of 5 to 0.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Thomas noted the summary minutes of the Planning
Commission meeting dated April 3, 2012 amended to change Allers to Aller on page 5.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION UPDATE.
Aller: There were no matters before the City Council?
Aanenson: Yeah, there was no planning items actually. We do have some things going.
Aller: Alright. And then I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.
Aanenson: Before we do that Chair, if I may just kind of give an update on planning items coming before
you, if I may.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — April 17, 2012 •
Aller: Oh, okay.
Aanenson: So next Monday in the Fountain conference room we'll have our joint meeting with the City
Council. 5:30. The Environmental Commission's also on. They'll be at that meeting. Its Arbor Day so
they'll be doing poster contest winners so we'll be first and I did hand out the report of the packet that
we've seen before so I just wanted you, if you can remember to bring that. I'll have extra copies in case
somebody forgets but that will kind of be the genesis of the discussion. As of right now we do not have
any items scheduled for May 1 '. We're feverishly working on the PUD. Having some neighborhood
meetings so I don't feel like there's anything at this point that we need to discuss with you so we'll not
have a meeting on May 1 '. May Day, but we do have some projects coming in for June 15`s. We have a
variance. We also have some other hearings on the PUDs and potentially the T-Mobile resolution of
some easements so it would require an amendment to the Conditional Use. We also are expecting an
application in for the expansion of the Canine Club so we'll have some applications coming forward. So
with that, that's all I had. And we do have enough, there's consensus on a nomination so I'll pass that on.
Thank you.
Aller: Nomination, great.
Aanenson: Oh, I did have one other thing. I just wanted to announce for Camp Tanadoona that you are
all welcome to go. They are having kind of an open house on April 21 ' from 1:00 to 4:00 and I'll make
sure that I email this to you too. They're going to show their master plan so they'd welcome anybody
from the City that would want to attend over at Camp Tanadoona. Again April 21 ', 1:00 to 4:00. They
certainly want community leaders to feel welcome to see their site. It's a great site and we were thinking
that that might be a place that we could tour too this fall when we talk about our joint tour. That might be
a great opportunity to go out there and see their facilities.
Aller: Great. Always looking forward to seeing more of Chanhassen
Aanenson: There you go.
Aller: Motion to adjourn anyone?
Thomas moved, Undestad seconded to adjourn the meeting. All voted in favor and the motion
carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. The Planning Commission meeting was adjourned at
7:35 p.m.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Bob Generous, Senior Planner
DATE: April 17, 2012 Q
SUBJ: Planning Case #2012-04
Request to Amend Planned Unit Development — Residential (PUD-R)
PROPOSED MOTION:
The Planning Commission recommends City Council approve the attached
ordinances rezoning the following Planned Unit Developments:
• Arboretum Village
• Highlands at Bluff Creek
• Liberty on Bluff Creek
• Mission Hills
and adopt the attached Findings of Fact and Recommendations.
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
Staff is recommending revisions to the Planned Unit Development Ordinances
(PUDs) for Arboretum Village, Highlands at Bluff Creek, Liberty on Bluff Creek and
Mission Hills to reference the appropriate underlying zoning for the development and
codify the minimum lot requirements. This is the fast of six groups of Planned Unit
Developments — Residential that staff will be presenting for public hearing and
amendment of the existing PUDs.
BACKGROUND
Staff brought this issue to the Planning Commission on June 21, 2011, September 6,
2011 and January 3, 2012. The following discoveries were made after researching
the different ordinances:
The more recent ordinances reference the underlying zoning districts;
however, they may omit language that ties the standards to the rest of the City
Code.
Web site . The PUD subdivisions created in the 1980s and early 1990s reference the
www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us Design Standards as part of the Development Contract, rather than with the
adoption of the Design Standards in the PUD Ordinance.
• Prior to 1980 no design standards or development contracts exist.

Each property in the community is governed by the zoning of the property. The zoning
regulations define the minimum standards for a lot and the uses that may be made of a property.
Administration
One of the zoning districts is the Residential Planned Unit Developments (PUD-R).

Over the past year, city staff has been reviewing the approximately 50 PUD-Rs throughout the
City. Staff is conducting an in-depth research of each development to determine how the

development approval was conducted, i.e. did the rezoning ordinance adopt standards for the
Phone:952.227.1180
development or were the standards incorporated in a development plan or as part of the
Fax:952.227.1190
development contract for the project. Additionally, staff has tried to establish the most
Engineering
appropriate underlying standard zoning district and ascertain if there is a reference the City Code

when the PUD is silent, i.e. parking requirements, home occupations, etc.

In reviewing the zoning for the property in your development, we have determined that the
Finance
original zoning ordinance provided development standards for the project, but did not adequately
Phone:952.227.1140
reference other City Code requirements. There are instances when the PUD is silent on certain
Fax: 952.227.1110
requirements such as home occupations, driveway design standards, etc. In such instances, the
City Code must be referenced to govern these sites. We are, therefore, proposing to conduct a
Park & Recreation
hearing to correct this deficiency. However, before we proceed with the process, we wanted to
Phone: 952.227.1120
inform the association that we are undertaking this zoning amendment and provide an opportunity

to discuss the proposed change. Attached are proposed amendments to the standards which are
highlighted in yellow.

We are tentatively scheduling the amendment to the PUD-R ordinance for your development with
Phone:952.227.1400
the Planning Commission on April 17, 2012. The proposed amendment will reference
Fax:952.227.1404
«PUDzoning» as the underlying zoning. We believe that the proposed amendment is
administrative in nature and will provide more clarity for the use of the property, since the lot

standards and requirements are not being changed. Due to the type of amendment being
Phone:952.227.1130
proposed, all property owners will not receive an individual notice of the hearing, which will be
Fax:952.227.1110
published in the Chanhassen Villager on April 5, 2012. We encourage you to contact your
association members about this proposed change. City staff is available for you or members of

the association to discuss the amendment.
