The proposed grading will prepare the site for Park s Recreation a one-story building with a finished floor elevation (FIFE) of 971.5. The plans Phone: 952.227.1120 show the building draining towards the east and west to proposed catch basins. In Fax: 952.227.1110 the event that these catch basins become clogged with lawn debris, leaves, trash, Recreation Centeretc., 2310 Coulter Boulevard the storm drainage will and u along both sides of the building to an g p p g g Phone: 952.227.1400 elevation just over two inches below the FIFE of the building. To minimize this Fax: 952227.1404 potential flooding hazard, staff recommends that the plans be revised to provide a Planning a minimum of 1.5 feet of elevation difference between the FFE of the building and Natural Resources the emergency overflow elevations of the sideyard areas. The parking lot and Phone: 952.227.1130 building drainage is proposed to be conveyed via a new storm sewer line to the Fax: 952.227,1110 south connecting with an existing storm manhole at the parking access off Great Public works Plains Boulevard. The plan proposes a retaining wall around all sides of the 1591 Park Road building except part of the south side. A 4 -foot safety fence must be included on Phone: 952.227.1300 Fax:952.22.227.1317.1310 top of the wall where adjacent to a pedestrian walkway.

According to the City's Finance Department records, the underlying parcel was previously assessed for sanitary sewer and water. However, sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will still be applicable for the new building. The 2004 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 for sanitary sewer and $2,814 for watermain. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance. All of these charges are based on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met Council. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies will have to be obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA and Watershed District. STREETS AND PARKING LOT The plans propose on utilizing the existing southerly access off of Great Plains Boulevard and the existing parking lot. The minimum drive aisle width permitted by ordinance in an office district is 26 -feet. The plans show 24 -foot wide drive aisles. These drive aisles are fine with the Engineering Department since the applicant is utilizing the existing parking lot.

The Chanhassen Villager I Development proposed for historic downtown site Page 1 of 2 Development proposed for historic downtown site Wednesday, April 14, 2004 By Melissa Gilman Staff Writer Heritage Square is home to the historic St. Hubert Catholic Church and Village Hall, both more than 100 years old. That they both still stand is an anomaly in Chanhassen, which developed later than neighboring Chaska. Unlike that city's brick buildings and quaint houses, Chanhassen had few structures besides farmhouses and barns until the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres opened in 1968, kick-starting development. Given that the church and hall, which also contains the original jail cell, are such rare specimens, the city has proceeded cautiously when considering making changes to the site. It purchased the triangular parcel at the corner of West 78th Street and Great Plains Boulevard several years ago during a redevelopment push. The Chanhassen City Council switched into its economic development role Monday after its regular council meeting, to consider a proposal for the site. Paul Nesburg wants to open a Dunn Bros. Coffee near ReMax Action West, and Fred and Valaire Riese want to open a day care and school for children up to six years old, east of the church and village hall. Nesburg and the Reises are Chanhassen residents. Justin Miller, assistant to the city manager, said the 1,800 -square -foot coffee shop and 8,000-5quare-foot day care are good uses for the site, and would complement the existing church and activity from Chapel Hill Academy, across the street. "Our main concern is traffic flow and respecting the architecture of old village hall and the church," Miller said. A proposal for building a Dairy Queen Grill & Chill on the site received a lukewarm reception in January 2003. The city and developer decided it wasn't the right spot for the restaurant. The church steeple is visable from several locations in the community, and the city wants to protect those site lines. It's not likely that a building over one story would be allowed to develop. Steven Mosborg is vice president of corporate services for Park Midwest Commercial Real Estate, which is overseeing the coffee shop and day-care proposal. Mosborg told the Economic Development Authority that the proposed architecture, playground equipment and fencing would be respectful of the historic look of the site. Nesburg owns the Savage Dunn Bros. Coffee, and wants to develop one in Chanhassen and Chaska. The Rieses would be the first owners of a Goddard School in Minnesota. Brandy Geiger is the site development manager for Pennsylvania -based Goddard Systems Inc. "Goddard is a preschool program, not just a daycare," Geiger told the EDA. "We have a full curriculum, focusing on cognitive skills, social and emotional development, and we encourage creativity." The school accepts children ages six weeks to six years old. The EDA directed city staff to work with the developer on the site plan, architectural details and a purchase price. http://www.chanvillager.conVprint.asp?ArticlelD=5120&SectionlD=2&SubSectionl D=2 10/6/2004 The Chanhassen Villager I Development proposed for historic downtown site Page 2 of 2 The site was formerly home to Pauly's Bar and grocery, which prior to the era of the dinner theater, pretty much constituted downtown Chanhassen.

They plan to build a preschool on the corner of West 76th Street and Great Plains Bou- levard, next to Old Village Hall. The Rieses approached the city in April with their plan, (which at the time, Included a partner building a Dunn Bros. Coffee on the site. However, it didn't look like both businesses could fit on the site so the coffee shop is looking at other spots in the city. The Rleses must still go through the city site plan re- view process. The Chanhassen Planning Commission will re- view the proposal for an 8,000. square -foot building Oct. 5, and the City Council will review it Oct. 11. Fred Riese told the EDA, comprising the Chanhassen City Council, that he expects to open The Goddard School by June 2005. The city purchased the tri- angular-shaped parcel several years ago during a redevelop- ment push. The site was for- merly home to Pauly's Bar and grocery. Due to its location next to Old Village Hall and Historic St. Hu- bert Catholic Church, the city wants any development on the site to reflect the appearance and nature of those buildings. For that reason, a proposal for build- ing a Dairy Queen Grill & Chill on the site received a lukewarm reception in January 2003. 4CvPj Registration Tuesday, Aug. 17 5-8 p.m. -Tuesday, Aug. 24 Tuesday, Aug.31 5-8 p.m. You can find us at: 5659 Manitou Road • Tonka Vi 952-474-2110 or 952-470 r - - Visit us on-line at kmcdance.com - ' Present this Coupon for a Free Tee Shiri i New Students Only. 5"' ANNUAL DAVE HUFFMAP MEMORIAL RUN/WALK CHILDREN'S FUN RUN USATF CERTIFIED CA'F1Tnn4v Crn•rrrinrn 11 vnn/ n.o The Chanhassen Villager I City considers selling land for a Dunn Bros. restaurant Page 1 of I iI N City considers selling land for a Dunn Bros. restaurant Wednesday, September 29, 1004 By Melissa Gilman Staff Writer Five months ago a preschool and coffee shop approached the city about buying a piece of vacant land next to old Village Hall at the corner of West 78th Street and Great Plains Boulevard. It turned out the coffee shop didn't work well on the site due to parking and traffic flow concerns so the preschool, the Goddard School, is purchasing the property by itself. But Dunn Bros. is still interested in building in the city, and is looking at another city -owned site just across the street. The city owns just less than an acre of land made up of three parking lot parcels between the Medical Arts building (adjacent to the clock tower) and the mall that contains Cameo Cleaners. Brad Johnson of Lotus Realty proposes to construct two buildings on either side of the entrance for those buildings: a 3,500 -square -foot restaurant on the west side and a 1,800 -square -foot Dunn Bros. with a drive through on the east side. Justin Miller, assistant to the city manager, presented the idea to the city's Economic Development Authority (EDA) Monday to see if there was any interest in proceeding with negotiations. The EDA comprises the five - member city council. Johnson said Dunn Bros. could probably be built this winter with the restaurant being built about a year later. Although the city already has close to 30 restaurants, "Five out of 10 people I talk to say they want a white tablecloth restaurant," he said. The city has two free standing coffee shops --Caribou Coffee and Starbucks --and a small Caribou Coffee in Byerly's. Mayor Tom Furlong asked staff to bring back a draft site plan, an understanding of how this development would impact traffic in the area, and details on proposed sale price. The EDA expects to meet again in November to discuss the proposal.

The site, with an area of 1.25 acres, is located at the southeast intersection of West 780'Street and Great Plains Boulevard. Access to the site is gained via a full curb cut off of Great Plains Boulevard. The site is zoned Central Business District. This zoning district permits the broadest range of uses. There are cross access and parking agreements with neighboring properties (Remax, Village Hall, and Homestead Church). A school of this type generates traffic and parking demand in off -set hours which complements surrounding uses. Staff believes this is a good use for the site. The building is well designed. The main exterior material is brick. Accents are provided through the use of fiber cement siding, columns, recessed walls, windows, and a pronounced canopy at the entrance of the building. Parking for vehicles is mainly located south of the building and is hidden from views from West 78th Street. Staff has been working with the applicant for several months. They have been very cooperative and have implemented staff's recommendations into the plans. Topics of discussion included parking, materials, design standards, standards associated with this specific development, and protecting the historic integrity of the old St. Hubert Church and old Village Hall to the east. A pedestrian trail runs along the north and west sides of the site. Sidewalks are introduced to this site and connect with the existing sidewalk system on neighboring properties and onto the City's trail system. The current hard surface coverage is 62.2%. The CBD District does not have a limit on hard surface coverage. One trash enclosure is shown for the building, located within the central island in the parking lot. The enclosure is proposed to be built of materials matching the building. Staff regards the project as a well designed development. The overall design is sensitive to the historic image of the area. Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending approval of the site plan with conditions outlined in the staff report. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The proposed office building, with an area of 8,068 square feet, will be situated east of Great Plains Boulevard and south of West 78th Street. The site is bordered by Historic St. Hubert Church to the east, Great Plains Boulevard to the west, and West 78`h Street to the north. The surrounding property is zoned Office Institutional. Access to the building is proposed via a full curb cut off of Great Plains Boulevard. Parking is proposed along the south portion of the building. The site falls within the most historic areas of the City of Chanhassen. With this in mind, the applicant designed a building that is respectful of the area. The main material on the building is The Goddard School Planning Case No.04-32 October 311, 2004 Page 3 red brick, (reflective of the church building), and white fiber cement siding projections (reflective of Village Hall). Windows are found on all four sides of the building. An arched brick design will be used above each window. The design of the building is attractive, provides variation and detail on the facade of the building. The height of the building is respectful of the church. The applicant provided a 3-D model as well as renderings that show that the church will maintain its current presence on West 78th Street. The roof of the building contains dormers to break it up and give it some interest. The site plan shows the trash enclosure location along the northerly edge of the parking lot island. The ordinance requires dumpsteis to be screened by a wing -wall and doors with siding and trim to match the building. The main material on the exterior of the structure will be brick to match the existing building. Rooftop equipment and mechanical equipment are not shown on the plans. All equipment must be screened from views. The applicant has explained to staff that roof top equipment will be screened by the roof. There are no minimum setbacks in the Central Business District. ARCHITECTURAL COMPLIANCE Size, Portion and Placement Entries: The building has a pronounced entrance Articulation: The building incorporates adequate detail and has been designed very tastefully. The architectural style is unique to the building but will fit in with the surrounding area. The building will provide a variation in style through the use of brick, fiber cement board, glass, and canopies. The building utilizes exterior materials that are durable and of high quality. Samples of the materials as well as a rendering will be available at the meeting. Signs: All signage must meet ordinance requirements. A detailed sign plan which includes the lighting method will also be required. Individual channeled letters with the option of back lighting are permitted. Material and detail High quality materials - accent material may occupy up to 15 percent of the buildings fagade. The building will utilize brick as the main material. Fiber cement board panel is an accent material although it is permitted as a main building material. Color The colors chosen for the building are earth tones. The selection is unique but blends in with the surrounding buildings. The Goddard School Planning Case No.04-32 October 311, 2004 Page 4 Height and Roof Design The building falls within the most historic area of the City of Chanhassen. The height of the building will not block views of the church. Although there are no height limitations in this area, the applicant has made an effort to be respectful of the surrounding area. The roofline is staggered adding articulation to the design of the building. All roof top equipment must be screened from views. The ordinance requires a pitched element on buildings. This can be achieved through roof design or awnings. The building complies with this requirement. Facade Transparency All facades viewed by the public contain more than 50 percent windows and/or doors. Loading Areas, Refuse Areas, etc. The trash enclosure is located within the island in the parking lot. It will utilize the same materials as the building. Recycling space and other solid waste collection space should be contained within the same enclosure. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the City shall consider the development's compliance with the following: (1) Consistency 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; (2) Consistency with this division; (3) Preservation of 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; (4) Creation of 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; (5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special attention to the following: a. 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; The Goddard School Planning Case No.04-32 October 511, 2004 Page S b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; C. 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 d. 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. (6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. Finding: The proposed development is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance and the site plan review requirements. The site design is compatible with the surrounding development. It is functional and harmonious with the approved development for this area. Minor revisions are required and are outlined in the conditions of approval. WETLANDS Upon review of the plans, it is concluded that there are no wetlands on this site. GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL The plans propose to grade about 50% of the site for the new school building pad and part of the existing parking lot. The proposed grading will prepare the site for a one-story building with a finished floor elevation (FFE) of 971.5. The plans show the building draining towards the east and west to proposed catch basins. In the event that these catch basins become clogged with lawn debris, leaves, trash, etc., the storm drainage will pond up along both sides of the building to an elevation just over two inches below the FFE of the building. To minimize this potential flooding hazard, staff recommends that the plans be revised to provide a minimum of 1.5 feet of elevation difference between the FFE of the building and the emergency overflow elevations of the side yard areas. The parking lot and building drainage is proposed to be conveyed via a new storm sewer line to the south connecting with an existing storm manhole at the parking access off Great Plains Boulevard. The plan proposes a retaining wall around all sides of the building except part of the south side. A 4 -foot safety fence must be included on top of the wall where adjacent to a pedestrian walkway. The applicant should be aware that any retaining wall over 4 - feet in height must be designed by a Structural Engineer registered in the State of Minnesota. Also, it will require a building permit from the Building Department. The Goddard School Planning Case No.04-32 October 311, 2004 Page 6 The existing site is within the downtown drainage district. The existing downtown area has storm sewer that has been previously sized for full development of the properties within the drainage district. The downtown storm sewer all drains to existing ponds that treat the water. As such, no additional ponding improvements are required as part of this development. Storm sewer sizing calculations for a 10 -year storm event must be submitted prior to building permit approval. Proposed erosion control consists of silt fence around the perimeter grading limits of the site. A rock construction entrance will not be required but the applicant needs to keep the existing access and parking lot clean on a daily basis. Also, tree protection fencing must be installed around all trees in the construction zone that will remain. UTILITIES The plans propose on extending a new sewer service from an existing manhole on the west side and water from the existing watermain along the east side of the parcel. Overall, the utility layout looks fine. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. According to the City's Finance Department records, the underlying parcel was previously assessed for sanitary sewer and water. However, sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will still be applicable for the new building. The 2004 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 for sanitary sewer and $2,814 for watermain. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance. All of these charges are based on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met Council. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies will have to be obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA and Watershed District. STREETS AND PARKING LOT The plans propose on utilizing the existing southerly access off of Great Plains Boulevard and the existing parking lot. The minimum drive aisle width permitted by ordinance in an office district is 26 -feet. The plans show 24 -foot wide drive aisles. These drive aisles are fine with the Engineering Department since the applicant is utilizing the existing parking lot. There is already an existing cross -access agreement between the parcels that utilize the existing Great Plains Boulevard. PARKING TABULATIONS The city's parking ordinance requires: 1 parking space per classroom. This translates to 9 spaces. Staff believes this ratio is too low based on the usage and based on this usage would recommend a ratio of 1 space per six students. The maximum occupancy of the building is 134 students. This will result in a The Goddard School Planning Case No.04-32 October 311, 2004 Page 7 requirement of 23 parking spaces. The site contains 51 parking spaces. LANDSCAPING Minimum requirements for landscaping include 1,796 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the parking lot, 7 trees for the parking lot, and bufferyard plantings along West 78`h Street, Great Plains Boulevard and the east property line. The applicant's proposed as compared to the requirements for landscape area and parking lot trees is shown in the following table. The site is quite limited in its landscape area. There is existing vegetation along all property lines which lends the site an attractive, mature buffer. The applicant is retaining some of the existing landscaping in and around the parking lot including the shrubs along Great Plains Boulevard and the east property line. This preservation helps to satisfy the screening requirements for the parking lot. Two existing red oaks, three Austrian pines, and two Colorado blue spruce, each in fair to good condition, are within the grading limits and being removed. The applicant is proposing four red maples as replacements. Along the north property line, there is little space between the fence and the public sidewalk. The applicant is proposing a line of perennials running the length of the site. These are appropriate since plantings any larger in size would not do well in such a limited space. The applicant will be planting additional evergreen shrubs on the public property at the northwest corner. These shrubs will be understory plantings for the existing pines and crabapples and will help screen the utility boxes located at the intersection. The applicant will have to field locate the plantings in order to maintain adequate access to the boxes. Staff does not recommend adding additional landscaping to the bufferyard areas since the activity might damage or destroy some of the existing vegetation. All existing trees south of the grading limits within the parking lot shall be preserved.

There is existing vegetation along all property lines which lends the site an attractive, mature buffer. The applicant is retaining some of the existing landscaping in and around the parking lot including the shrubs along Great Plains Boulevard and the east property line. This preservation helps to satisfy the screening requirements for the parking lot. Two existing red oaks, three Austrian pines, and two Colorado blue spruce, each in fair to good condition, are within the grading limits and being removed. The applicant is proposing four red maples as replacements. Along the north property line, there is little space between the fence and the public sidewalk. The applicant is proposing a line of perennials running the length of the site. These are appropriate since plantings any larger in size would not do well in such a limited space. The applicant will be planting additional evergreen shrubs on the public property at the northwest corner. These shrubs will be understory plantings for the existing pines and crabapples and will help screen the utility boxes located at the intersection. The applicant will have to field locate the plantings in order to maintain adequate access to the boxes. Staff does not recommend adding additional landscaping to the bufferyard areas since the activity might damage or destroy some of the existing vegetation. All existing trees south of the grading limits within the parking lot shall be preserved.

Al -Jaffa In fact what we did for instance for school standards and parking, there isn't as much parking spaces required if you use that standard. What we did is we used for instance daycare standards for the parking which is substantially higher. So we tried to be more restrictive with our requirements of the applicant. Papke: Okay. The only other question I had was, you mentioned from a traffic perspective this compliments the use of the church parking lot and so on and that makes great sense. The only concern I have from a traffic perspective is the Dinner Theater is right across the street and during the week you do have some matinee performances I believe. Aanenson: Wednesday's. Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Papke: Wednesday's. At what time? Do people start streaming in? Al -Jaffa Do you know Justin? Aanenson: I believe it's afternoon. Miller: Late morning. Sacchet: Late morning. Papke: Late morning so there shouldn't be any interference because that was my only concern when I looked at this where the entrance was. You know the people that come in and look for where to park in the Dinner Theater. They're not always paying attention and that would be my only concern from a traffic perspective would the traffic going in and out at the appropriate pick-up and drop off. Obviously the drop off times in the morning is going to be a non -issue, but at the pick-up time is there going to be any traffic conflict with the Dinner Theater? Al-Jaff: We'll be more than happy to double check on that tomorrow. The one thing that we did do today for instance was to go out to the site during rush hour. See whether we can get in and out of the parking lot easily and that wasn't an issue at all. But we'll be more than happy to check that tomorrow. Sacchet: Okay. Bethany, go ahead. Tjomhom: I have a couple questions Sharmeen. There's a school located across the street from this school. Al-Jaff: Correct. Tjomhom: Now what are the hours of dropping off kids for this, the new school? Do you know? A] -Jaffa That's something that the applicant can answer. Sacchet: The applicant will be able to address it. Okay. Tjomhom: Okay, because my only concern is that you know you've got one school dropping kids off in the morning and then the other school across the street dropping kids off and everyone trying to merge into the same traffic area together, so you know I'd assume they'd both have kind of the same hours of the day, morning and you know mid- afternoon for that. Maybe not. Aanenson: I'm just assuming, Chapel Hills starts a little after 8:00. Most people have to be work by 8:00 so I'm assuming that the daycare would probably be loaded by the time. Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Tjomhom: Before then. Aanenson: That's just my. Tjomhom: So then this is a school like, not a daycare but for younger ages? Aanenson: Well yeah, but you're going to take them to school on your way to work more than likely, yeah. Tjomhom: So then okay, that was my question was what are the real ages of the kids? Aanenson: They can address it more specifically. Tjomhom: Is it more like a preschool or is it? Sacchet: It's babies up to 6 years old, that's clearly what I read. Papke: The drawings show the ages of the different groups. Sacchet: It's 2 or 4 months starting. I mean really little. Tjomhom: Little, okay. And then where is the location of the playground equipment? Sacchet: Both sides. Tjomhom: Both sides? Al-Jaff: Both sides of the building. Jack Atkins: On both sides? Tjomhom: Okay. And that's it for now I think. Sacchet: Thanks Bethany. Dan, any questions? Keefe: Just a quick question. Can you speak at all to kind of the safety and security for that particular location? Just given there's a high volume of traffic which goes along West 78'' and I drive it you know morning and afternoon and I know there's a lot of traffic and there's a fence and I saw they got playground equipment on both sides. Any consideration in terms of you know security or safety concerns? Particularly in light of the. AI-Jaff: Not really. One of the things that we thought of was, before Chapel Hills, St. Hubert's used to be there and to my knowledge there's never been an issue with, front a safety standpoint with the school. Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Sacchet: Yeah, we'll get to the hearing in a minute. Anything else Dan? Keefe: Well, just in terms of where it's mostly a drop off I'm assuming and no bus service and. Aanenson: No, it's not like across the street where they'd be walking or something like that. Keefe: Yeah right so it's drop off at the door. Okay. That's it. Sacchet: Steve, any questions? Lillehaug: Just a couple. Looking at the compliance table on page 8, and the building setbacks, it looks like only 12 foot ... 12 feet is pretty close. Does engineering or planning have any concerns with the building being that close to the property line? Al -Jaffa Not really, no. And it is. Lillehaug: Is that standard along? Al -Jaffa 5 feet from. Aanenson: If you look at Medical Arts is probably pretty close to. Lillehaug: Look at what? Aanenson: Medical Arts, which is just across the street. Lillehaug: To the north. Sacchet: The north side, yeah. Lillehaug: So it kind of matches what goes through that corridor? Al -Jaffa Axel's is right up to the property also. Lillehaug: Is it that close? /:\MPUA&W11A Lillehaug: Okay. Looking at the model here, it looks like there's adequate landscaping but in the landscaping table, how can we be off so much on the required and the proposed? Does the proposed not take into account the fact, or the existing landscaping out there? Is that why the table is kind of skewed? A] -Jaffa Yeah. Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Lillehaug: So if you were to put. Al-Jaff: The majority of the landscaping is actually existing and what we're trying to do is maintain the existing landscaping. That has been a goal for our City Forester in this case, and if you look at the conditions of approval, the penalties are for trees. Existing trees lost. Lillehaug: So are you saying if you added the proposed trees up and the existing trees which we don't have a count on, that it would be pretty close to what's required for that site? That's all I have, thanks. Sacchet: Thanks Steve. Do you have another question Bethany? Tjomhom: I have one more question Sharmeen, and I think that the school is a good mix or it is a good blend for that area of town. What happens if the school leaves and the building is there one day? Al -Jaffa They will be able to address this issue as well. Tjornhom: Okay. Because it is a historical part of town. AI -Jaffa Correct. And that is true with any development that comes to town. What happens if they left. We always make sure that from a parking standpoint they have to meet requirements. The use has to be permitted within that zoning district. So there are a number of things that we still have to address and make sure that they meet ordinance requirement. Tjornhom: So they couldn't turn into like a fast food place in 10 years? Aanenson: Well again, it would have to meet the performance standards. So they'd have to modify the building which would require coming back. And then, as Sharmeen indicated, they would have to meet the parking standards. So there is some trigger points that will, and based on that square footage of building, I doubt that that would happen, yeah. Miller: Justin Miller, Assistant to the City Manager. As one of the requirements in the purchase agreement, we did put additional restrictions on the property that run with the property and those restrictions are no automotive uses, no fast food, no convenience, so even if this property does sell there's limits on what it can be. Tjomhom: Okay. Sacchet: Thanks for clarify that Justin. I have two questions still too. My main question is that the retaining wall, and it's probably more an engineering type of question. First when I looked at the plans, I was trying to figure out is this retaining wall up or down, Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 and I finally realized that it's down, so you basically have the road level, and it goes down quite significantly, like about 4 feet or so. So there's quite a drop. We have that fence, that wrought iron fence with the nice brick pillars but then it goes down 4 feet and there's a retaining wall. And then it's basically level with the parking area, for more or less right? And I wonder, on one hand it seemed a little abrupt. A little much to me. It's just kind of make it flat and then have a retaining wall. Are there reasons from engineering viewpoint why it couldn't be maybe terraced or why it has to be like that? Are there concerns like, one of the commissioners already brought up the concern about safety. I mean is there a safety concern? I mean if a car bumps into that fence, goes through the fence, bumps right down? Stuff like that. Has that been looked at? Saam: Sure, yeah. But I spoke with the applicant's engineer prior to the meeting and I think they're going to address a little bit on this. Sacchet: Okay, so we'll hear from the applicant. Saam: Yeah. Basically the building elevation was set to standards such as there's accessible, there's slope standards for accessible, what people used to call handicap routes. You can't go over a certain slope for wheelchairs that expects accessibility. They're keeping a lot of the existing parking so that elevation's kind of set. Then you have West 78`" Street and that sidewalk so that elevation's set so maybe the applicant's engineer can talk to this a little better than me but basically with those two, the bottom, the top being set and then the maximum slope requirements, that sets your building elevation. So, and again maybe the applicant will add to that but that's. Sacchet: Can you just clarify the height of the retaining wall on the north side where it's probably the highest? It's about what? Saam: Yeah, it is. 4 1/2 , I see 4'/z at the highest point. If I'm reading it right. Yeah, 4 'h appears to be the highest so. Sacchet: 4 1/2, and that kind of leads to my second question where we have this building that's kind of recessed 4 feet roughly into the ground and so that takes away from the height of the floor, for this is one story building. Then we have, it seems, what seems to me a pretty massive roof structure on top of it. Now Sharmeen, you mentioned that you already worked with the applicant to try to reduce that as much as possible. Al -Jaffa What we did was, they changed the angle of the roof system. Sacchet: Okay. AI -Jaffa And that resulted in 4.3 feet less than what they initially put, so the roof that you see today is essentially lower than where we started. Sacchet: So from staff's perspective that is a balance thing, because my concern is since the building's kind of recessed down, which makes it first look smaller, it's going to Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 make that roof structure even appear more massive. And it seemed like there was really a massive amount of space in that roof structure, which is really just decorative the way I understand it. I don't think it's being used. AI -Jaffa They will be able to address this issue in more detail but it is intended to house their roof top equipment basically and hide it from views. They have introduced 4 dormers, different sizes to just break up the, rather than looking at one large roof. But they will be able to address that. Sacchet: That's probably what we'll hear from the applicant on that part, okay. Alright, I think that's all the questions. With that I'd like to invite the applicant to come forward and tell us your story please. See what you can add to what staff presented and if you would please state your name and address for the record. Fred Riese: Absolutely. My name is Fred Riese and my wife's name is Valaire Riese. We live at 9154 Sunnyvale Drive here in Chanhassen and it's been a pleasure working with the city staff on this project. There's been a lot of cooperation and it's been our goal from the beginning to work with maintaining the historic site for those working now in the architecture of the school. And we are very proud to actually bring the Goddard School to Chanhassen because we know it's going to give parents an alternative to a regular child care facility for bringing their children to a preschool type business. My staff here is John Bertelsen from John Oliver and Associates. And also Joel Hussong from John Oliver and Associates as civil engineers. Brandy Geiger from Goddard Systems, and Andy Martin from Goddard Systems and they are here to help me in answering any of your questions. So please feel free to do so. Sacchet: Thank you very much. Questions from the applicant. Keefe: Yeah, I'm interested just to hear a little bit more about the Goddard School and what it is and if you could just describe the business a little bit in terms of what it is. Sacchet: How you distinguish yourself from other schools. Papke: As you speak to that, it sounds like this a franchise of some sort. Fred Riese: That is correct. Yeah, we are. Papke: That's where, you know how many others there are and how does this compare with the others, etc, etc. Fred Riese: Sure. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to ask Brandy Geiger from Goddard Systems to step up and she'll be able to fill you in on all those details. Brandy Geiger: Good evening. First let's start off by yes, Goddard School is a franchise business. They are not corporately run schools. They are owned and operated by local residents. Fred and Valaire Riese are purchasing a license to operate our program and Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 they will be on site and operating it. They will be under our auspices and we will be helping them develop curriculum and that sort of thing. We have a 170 schools open right now in 23 states. This will be the first one in the State of Minnesota so we're real excited not only for it to be the first one but to be in this community because of the support we've gotten from the city has been incredible. A little bit about what the Goddard School is and how it's a little different, or very different from a lot of the other centers that you look at. If daycare or child care centers. This is a preschool. What we do offer full educational curriculums to infants up through 6 years of age. It is 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We really see ourselves more as the home away from home for our children because of the interaction with the staff and the children. It's very low ratios of staff to the children in the classrooms. There's a lot of interaction with the parents with the on site owners because they're probably there with their neighbors, co-workers and that sort of thing. We pride ourselves in our quality assurance. In our health and safety and our commitment to making sure that the school is the highest quality it can possibly be and that's evidenced by the interest that we have in people from across the country who want to invest in this and want to open schools, either in states that are already established, or in newer states like this. Like Minnesota. We just recently, you know we're just about to move into Arizona and that sort of thing. We're really spreading out over the country. We have been ranked over the last 3 years by Entrepreneur Magazine as a solid business for the entrepreneurial type people that the Riese's are, so we're very proud of that and we are leaders in our industry in just about every aspect of what we do from playgrounds all the way up to curriculum. You mentioned a couple things about our hours, which I just addressed, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.. Little bit about drop off and pick up and how the traffic flows within our parking lot, if you'd like me to address that, I can do that. We do have a staggered drop off between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. in the morning. We do that because we don't want to have the problem that a lot of schools run into where they have a drop off time where you have you know the cars cueing in all morning and standing there and blocking traffic. Everybody has different times that they need to get to work in the morning so the staff will work with the parents to organize a drop off that's as streamline as possible. We do the same thing in the afternoon. Our pick up is between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. I do want to add that a lot of our students are part time. It means that they either come half days or they only come 2 or 3 days a week. In that case about 30 percent of our student population leaves midday every day. So the amount of traffic that you have in the morning or the parents are coming in and dropping off, they will be coming back 30 percent of them come back in the afternoon and then you have less in the evening that they are coming to pick up. I also want to mention that we do have a drop off procedure that they do pull into the parking lot. They park. They stop their car. They take the child into the building. And we do that for the safety of the children obviously, and it's also an easy transition between the child and the staff member that they're getting turned over to. I think you mentioned, I think it was, I think maybe I did cover the primary things. If there's anything else that I can answer please. Papke: From an architectural perspective, how does this particular unit compare? Is there a look to all the Goddard Schools that this one adheres to or are all these unique? Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Brandy Geiger: We have, we've been around for 15 years so we have a lot of schools and Andy can come up and speak to that. He's one of our construction managers. We have a lot of schools that have very different styles. Over the last couple of years we're trying to really focus in on having that high quality look to the schools to reflect what's going on inside the school. This is close to what our prototype is currently, but we have adjusted it quite a bit to fit in with the site, with the desires of the city and with the needs. Based on what this State of Minnesota tells us that we have to have within the building. And anything else you'd like to add to that. Andy Martin: Good evening. My name is Andy Martin. I also represent the Goddard School. To give you a little history on the layout to start before I get into the architectural aspects of the building. In fact, do we have the layout? First I'd like to point out that our standard building of course, 8,000 square feet in size. Measures 80 by 100 foot. Due to the site constraints with this, I'm going to call it a pie shaped parcel, and with what was existing parking there, obviously we chose to plot the building at the northern portion of the lot. We discussed with the tenant and we looked at it from two angles as far as how to place the building. Generally our entrance is from the 80 foot side of the building, and we did inquire with the State of Minnesota to see if it was feasible to modify our floorplan to accommodate an entrance off of the 100 foot side. But in this location it did make more sense, it gave us a wider playground to the east and west side of the building, which was much more appealing for the operation of the center. Then, once we have, we're set in working with the city here and the plotting of the building, we moved onto the roof and the architectural aspects of the building. Generally our building has a 6:12 pitch. Unfortunately that didn't sit so well with the church as the back drop so we were able to redesign the roof structure as minimum as we could, because currently we do have all our mechanical equipment in the mezzanine of this building. This one story building. All the furnace units, everything is located in that area. So though it's usable space and the large mass of the roof structure, it is used for the mechanical equipment. So I believe we did our best to make the roof line work within these characteristics of the surrounding buildings in this area. Second, I know Fred Riese did of course do research with some local vendors on the brick color and what not trying to accommodate a suitable shade of brick to work within the church. The characteristics and colors of the church. I'd like to touch base on the safety concerns as well, if that was satisfactory to you. I know, I believe we are 12 foot from the right-of-way with the setback of the building. And unfortunately, well I'll let the engineer, John Bertelsen, or Joel discuss the grading and the reason we recessed the building for the accessibility reasons but as far as for the location and such close proximity to 780' Street and of course Great Plains Boulevard, we still feel very confident that with the local speed limits on these two roads being 35 miles per hour, we are within adequate distance from that in the event something were to happen there. We do, we did beef up the fence with the brick columns inbetween the spans of the wrought iron type fence. Sacchet: Alright, questions? Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Keefe: Well I still have just a business question. Who do you guys compare yourselves to in the market locally in Minnesota? I mean what sort of, who's kind of a comparable operation? Yeah because obviously you fit in somewhere. Where do you... Brandy Geiger: As far as part of the industry and who? Keefe: Yeah. Brandy Geiger: Our chief, if you want to call it a competitor I guess the one program that's probably the closest to our's, I actually think, I don't even think they're in Minnesota yet either. It's call Primrose Academy which is another preschool educational facility. There are a couple in locally that I've seen. I think you have maybe a Kindercare or something like that. They're probably in the same industry. Their program is different. They're considered more of a daycare/child care. We do with our educational standards, but they are in our industry. There's Children's World, New Horizons, if that rings any bells. Sacchet: Maybe you could give us a little bit of a nutshell insight of what your philosophy is. How you deal with little kids. I mean you're calling a baby a student so you must be trying to teach him something. There must be some sort of a basic principle that you're following I would suspect. Brandy Geiger: Right. Our entire curriculum is a Peoget based curriculum which basically says that children learn through play. They learn through interaction. They team through integration with what's going on. It's not just static learning. It's not that they're sitting in a corner playing by themselves. You could have an infant that's having interaction with a staff member. They're on the floor playing with that staff member. With maybe the other children. They're not in a swing or a crib all day long. There's interaction. They get that contact that children need at that young age. I did get a lot of strange looks when I say we had educational curriculum for an infant. Anyone would have said the same thing. What do you teach them? But you teach them there's interactive skills and you really include them in group and that has been shown to help tremendously. Then you move into pre -toddlers and toddlers and pre -kindergarten and of course you just get into a huge range of things. Anything from sign language to foreign language. We do have a lot of Spanish programs in some of our schools. Into dramatic play. Of course there's the arts and there's the science and there's language and there's all kinds of things that we try to involve them in that are activity based that they can interact with and they get status reports. They go home with them every day. That the teacher hand writes notes on each student every day that gets home with the parents so they know what they did. They know what they experienced and I have several parents who say you know they, sitting at the dinner table and all of a sudden the child starts counting in Spanish. And of course that doesn't mean they speak Spanish but it means you know they're listening and they're retaining something and they enjoy it. Sacchet: You say it's based on Peoget? Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Brandy Geiger. I'm sorry? Sacchet: Who was it based on? Brandy Geiger: Peoget. Ah yes. We also have a very well known child psychologist that I believe is with Harvard University, if I'm not mistaken. Dr. Kyle Pruitt who is one of our, who is our main consultant. Who is renown in his field as very knowledgeable of the development of children. He writes books on our behalf. He, we just finished a series of parent discussions with him that we do a lending library with our parents on everything from biting to moving to divorce to all these sorts of things. Sacchet: Well I appreciate you sharing a little bit about that. That's not necessarily what we're judging here but it's good to have the framework. Go ahead Steve. Lillehaug: Back to planning. I have a question for Mr. Riese. If you can comment on the parking agreement with the city or with the church and the adequacy of the parking in your mind and possibly, you know I don't know if, I don't know what that church operates as far as weekday events, but my church has some events during the day that may overlap with the parking in your school there. Fred Riese: The church has indicated to us, Justin Miller and I had a meeting with the church, and also with Remax and the church had indicated to us that during the day hours, the regular work day hours, that they would only require around 3 spots maximum during the day hours, except on the weekends of course, for services. Which doesn't interfere with the Goddard School because we are closed on the weekends. The church is, in easements that are being currently re -written as we speak, the church is going to get 3 designated spaces on the east side of the parking lot which will be their's and their's alone for the daytime hours. And so, and city hall will get 4 designated spaces which will be their's and their's alone during the daytime hours also. The easement with Remax is going to be maintained almost exactly the way it is, except that they're going to be allowed through mutual agreements with the new owner, myself and my wife, that they will be allowed to have overflow parking for special events and things like that. The church will be using the parking obviously to a greater extent on the weekends. I believe they have a congregation of about 50 right now and the parking lot holds 51 currently. That's how the new design will be, about 51. So there should be adequate parking for them on the site. Lillehaug: Okay, thank you. Sacchet: Any more questions? Keefe: Yeah, just planning related which will be related to dropping off the kids and the adequacy of sort of the staging area for dropping them off. It just seems, I was just taking a look at it. It doesn't seem like there's a ton of space between where the entrance to the door is and the curb cut to go out to Great Plains Boulevard. I mean in terms of just the Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 volume of traffic that you expect to go in in the morning and sort of the circulation in that parking lot, can you just speak to that a little bit in terms of... Fred Riese: Yeah, the circulation in the parking is two way. It goes both ways. The parking that's going to be right in the front of the school, okay which you can probably see in the model there a little bit. Actually that's right here. That is going to be designated as drop off and pick up and then the hatched area here, you can see this is an area that's left open for parents and the children to have access to the front of the building without having to go between cars. Keefe: That's it. Sacchet: Kurt. Papke: Another design question. Sharmeen, when you showed the layout of the colors of the brick and so on, given the 4 foot elevation change and the design of the building, about 60-70 percent of what we're going to see is shingles as we drive down 78`s Street. What, I hope that the color, the shingles aren't going to be white as they're shown on the scale model over there. I suspect there's been some thought about the color and texture of the shingles. They are on there, okay. Okay. Fred Riese: Yeah, the shingles are a weather wood. I matched it to the church's cedar shingles the best I could. The church shingles are obviously you know extremely old and actually moldy and green in a lot of areas. So weathered wood was the closest I could come. It's going to be an architectural shingled roof. Papke: Okay. Sacchet: You already touched on the height of the roof and that it's being used for roof top equipment like heating and cooling and all that sort of stuff I presume. Fred Riese: There's going to be that type of equipment inside. Sacchet: It does need that much height and space in there? It seemed quite bulky to me, but on the other hand you comment on how you already reduced it so it looks like you already did something in that direction, but I'd still like you to comment a little more on that. Fred Riese: Yeah, I had many discussions with Sharmeen, the architect and Andy Martin on this subject. To bring it down to the 5:12 roof line and we're doing that. As it is they tell me that the space for let's say any maintenance done on the mechanicals up in the attic area is they said is going to be extremely tight. Even with you know, and then the mechanicals will fit but for someone to go up there and do maintenance after the project is complete, will be more difficult they said because of the limited roof. The limited area that will be available. Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Sacchet: So in other words you think you went about as far as you reasonably can go with that? Fred Riese: That is correct. Sacchet: Because my concern as I voiced before is that since the building is recessed and that will make the roof look even more substantial because what's underneath is going to be visually shrunk since it's recessed into the ground. Fred Riese: I understand what you're saying, yes. If you look at it from a certain angle like, let's say you're looking from west to east down 78`s Street. Sacchet: Right, you see mostly roof. Fred Riese: You're going to see a lot of roof, but if you look at the 3D model, you're going to see a lot of trees which actually will help block that roof. And those trees are going to, they're existing and they're going to be staying so. Sacchet: Good. And then my other question was the recessed aspect. The retaining walls. It was mentioned in terms of accessibility and all that. Staff mentioned that was a concern. I would assume you probably explored possibilities that you wouldn't have to dig into the ground and put the building that far down. Fred Riese: Yeah, I mean I would love to just keep it right on the flat surface where it is now but for safety reasons, and actually I should probably let John Bertelsen, or Joel go into this. For safety concerns we needed to bring it down, the grading down so that the parking lot and the area in front of the building, that it would be safe for pedestrians. Otherwise it was going to be like a ski slope, and would have been very dangerous. Sacchet: Okay. Now in terms of where actually the playgrounds are, that's just small area of the area on both sides. Fred Riese: On both sides, yeah. Sacchet: So what's the rest of the space being used around the playgrounds themselves because it seems like the playgrounds are those small fenced areas with the play equipment. Or is it the whole area? Fred Riese: The whole area. The whole area is the playgrounds. Where this area here and here is just where the playground equipment is. Sacchet: Okay, but the whole area would be used for playground, okay. I want to be clear about that. Okay. Yeah, so I'd like to hear a little bit more about this. Fred Riese: Playground? Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Sacchet: Elevation stuff and playground. Andy Martin: In looking at the elevations I would just like to touch base on the requirements of our playgrounds for the Goddard School. With finished side yard. With finished side yard. We do have I believe approximately 3,500 square feet to either side, which does meet Minnesota standards for playground... these rectangular boxes underneath these piece of equipment is for, what's called a rubberized poured in place surface. It's a resilient rubber surface. It's much better nowadays than sand or mulch. So, but that is the use that is required under those equipment pieces. Otherwise the rest of it, the yard is sod. Sacchet: Okay. Yeah, that's good to be clear about that. Thank you. Do we want to hear about the elevation aspect from the engineering people? John Bertelsen: I'm John Bertelsen with John Oliver and Associates in the Burnsville office. The building and the elements around the building are very tightly related to one another. The main components here are the building, the sidewalk to the north, the sidewalk to the south, both of which are just about immediately adjacent to the building. You have the head in parking that's directly south of the sidewalk on the south, and then you have the drive aisle that's just south of that. The existing parking lot right now ends approximately here, and if you obviously are aware of the site. The upper portion is fairly flat and then you have a parking lot which slopes fairly consistently from the north to the south at about a 6 percent grade, which is really more than what you'd like to see in a parking lot because of the stop and starting that comes, that happens in parking lots. Joel has actually attended a wedding at the church here in the winter and has had slidden all the way down this entrance here unable to stop so it's really too steep for stopping and starting movements. So when I looked at the site, and I looked at the grades in that parking lot, I said unacceptable. However we really don't have the flexibility to redo all the grades in the parking lot so we've got to work somewhat with what we have. We've got to take into consideration the use that we're proposing. So what I did was, just relating to itself, you've got a building that's flat. Flat elevation. Obviously it's one level. You have a sidewalk to the north and the south which slopes at 2 percent which is the typical slope for sidewalks. We have handicap parking here, ADA parking which can be a maximum of 2 percent, and then we have the drive aisle which I set at what's kind of my maximum of 3 percent. I'll go to 4 but really in 24 feet, 3 to 4 percent is only about that much, so it really isn't that good but it's way better than the 6 percent that's out there. So when you take that in relation to itself, you have to drop it down or raise it up until that southerly edge matches the existing parking lot. When you do that the rest of it bam, is set. So you just take that elevation of the existing parking lot. Run those percentage to grades, which is 0 in the building, 2 percent base because you're parking and sidewalk, all the way through to the north to the south. South to the north excuse me, and you get an elevation. There's really no way to change that other than adjusting the floor in the building, or putting some more space between the building and the sidewalks, it just isn't available on this particular facility. So it just happens that we ended up with 4 feet at the north end. 4 feet is a pretty nice dimension when you have these segmental retaining walls that you see being put up all over the place. The standard block units. 4 Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 feet is a maximum height that you can go before you have to start putting some geo grid fabric back behind the wall to keep the wall stable. So in this instance it just happened to be 4 feet. We didn't really choose 4 feet. We didn't choose to put a retaining wall there really either. It just happened to come out that way. And we would like to reduce that because the retaining wall obviously costs money. We'd like to reduce the amount of fill coming off the site, but it just isn't there because of the existing parking lot grades, and the relationship with sidewalks to the building and ADA requirements. Sacchet: So for this type of use, terracing or anything like that wouldn't really work? Okay. John Bertelsen: No, it just doesn't work. As Andy had mentioned, if we could have turned the building 90 degrees, that would have helped but you would have lost significant playground and really it wouldn't have been nearly as functional as it is today. Sacchet: Thank you very much. Well I appreciate your presentation. You want to add something more from your end? Fred Riese: Not unless you have some more questions for us. Sacchet: I think we about exhausted our questions so thank you very much for excellent presentation from all of you. Excellent team here. With that, this is a public hearing. I'd like to invite any of the residents that are here to come forward. If you have something to comment about this proposal. This is your time to come forward and please state your name and address for the record and let us know what you have to say please. Please get the microphone somewhat targeting your mouth. Yeah, you just pull it right over. It's a flexible arm. There you go. Fred Prinz: I don't want to talk too loud into it. My name is Fred Prinz. I live at 408 Santa Fe Circle, which is a couple of streets away from 78'h Street. I just found out today that basically all I can do is comment on my presentation and that what I'm saying is not bonafide as far as the building itself. But I ran a survey with a bunch of members of our city and basically I've accumulated about 160 signatures here which I'd like to give to the Planning Commission to submit along with whatever else you do. But basically the 160 people are requesting that the property remain vacant. I know this is probably not in your purvey at this point to make. Sacchet: But are they willing to buy it? Fred Prinz: Huh? Sacchet: Are they willing to buy it? Fred Prinz: No, the city already bought it. We paid for it already. And so I don't see that we have to buy it again. Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Sacchet: Okay. That was semi joke so. Fred Prinz: I understand... so I'd like to submit this and give it to wherever this organization that we have, who is composed of that organization? That EDA. Sacchet: The EDA that is? Fred Prinz: Yes. Who are they? Aanenson: Justin, want to address that? Sacchet: Justin, do you want to speak up to that please. Fred Prinz: Because if I have to address them, I'd like to be able to know who I'm talking to. Sacchet: Well here's one of them, right? Miller: No. I don't get a vote. The EDA is the Economic Development Authority and it's made up of the 5 members of the City Council. Fred Prinz: Currently. Miller: Currently. Sacchet: It is the City Council. Fred Prinz: With the mayor and all that? Miller: The mayor and the 4 council members make up the EDA. Fred Prinz: So then in this case I would, just for elaboration on my part, whatever my next step is, would have to deal with the City Council, is that correct? Okay, thank you. That's all I had. Sacchet: Thank you very much. Anybody else wants to come forward? Jack, please. State your name and address. Jack Atkins: My name's Jack Atkins. I live at 220 West 78d' Street. About 2 blocks east of the property. I guess in lieu of not being able to bring Pauly's back, it seems to me there was some reference made to the open space and usage on it. It looks to me like the entire property, right up to the right-of-way is being fenced in with a wrought iron gates and there's no public access to any of that. It's basically being locked off. I think you have to go through the building to get out into the play areas? Sacchet: I would definitely think so considering the use of it. Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Jack Atkins: So I mean from a public use standpoint we'll get to enjoy it by looking at it through the wrought iron fence. Sacchet: And you can look down too from 78th Street. Jack Atkins: Yeah, and look down. I guess from my standpoint, I mean certainly the IDA has to make economic as well as whatever type of decisions but I mean this would seem something at least should be sited along the frontage road on Highway 5. To me there's plenty of space there to accommodate that, and I understand that going from a 6:12 to 5:12 was an accommodation but 5:12 over a distance of probably what, that's 40 feet there. It's 17 feet of pitch to the top of the roof from the top of the first floor, which is pretty significant like you said. It's a lot of roof, but I mean it's better than a Chill and Grill but anyway that's my comment. Sacchet: Thanks Jack. Dick Mingo: Good evening. We're missing a good ball game here. My name is Dick Mingo. I live at 7601 Great Plains Boulevard which is about 3 short blocks straight north of the site we're discussing. I'm a 47 year resident of this community. I've lived here since the population was about 110 when I married my wife and moved in here. It's changed quite a bit. My very quick comment is, a number of comments I want to make about this site. First off I'm not against a school but I think it's in the wrong site. It definitely does not belong on that site. We've got two historical things left in this whole community that kind of are our original items, and one of them we moved in there. Of course the old city hall. And St. Hubert's original church of course goes way back. Dates to old times. We have got a park there, and I know we've paid for it. You also paid for Bandimere Park. You paid for some other parks. You just have to write it off that this is a park. I think that should remain as a park. You've got a beautiful unhindered view of those historic sites as you come down from the west, real neat looking area. In the next few weeks we're going to see beautiful trees along there. One of the prettiest sites in all of Chanhassen. In fact I would like to see at some point in the future if we could keep it a park, which it should be. That that would be a site for a Veteran's Memorial or a Pioneer Memorial honoring the pioneers of this community. I think it's a great gateway to Chanhassen. As the people come into town. We've got literally thousands and thousands of visitors visiting our Dinner Theater right across the street and I would think it would be very nice to maintain that park and that historic site for our visitors as they come in. A couple things about what I'm seeing here. The playground. That was one of the thoughts I had. Where are they going to play? In the cemetery? But I see you've got that and you've got one playground that's going to be sitting right outside the front doors of the two historical sites. The other one will be in the west side that you'll see as you come down 78th Street toward it. I love playgrounds. I'm a retired school teacher. Taught school for 30 years but playgrounds are not very pretty. They're there for fun and again I just think this is the wrong thing in the wrong spot here in Chanhassen and I would just plead that we keep this as a city park and maintain it for future reference. Again it's the only green area left in all of old town Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Chanhassen. Once it's gone, it's gone. There are no other green areas that I can think of in old town Chanhassen. Thank you. Sacchet: Thank you very much. Anybody else? Please come forward. Judy Schmieg: How long do I get? Sacchet: Until you're done. Judy Schmieg: Thank you. First I have a couple questions. Sacchet: Name and address please. Judy Schmieg: Judy Schmieg, 200 West 77'h Street. And then I would like to ask some questions of the people that are here that have come up in the procedure, and then I'd like to comment on some of the school issues. Sacchet: Okay, let's get going. Judy Schmieg: Okay. Is this the first public hearing on this? Sacchet: I would think so. Al -Jaffa On this plan. Aanenson: On the site plan. Judy Schmieg: Yes or no? Sacchet: For the site plan, yes. I mean the public hearing is about the site plan. I'm sure there have been discussions about this parcels before that I'm aware of. Judy Schmieg: Is this the first public hearing on this site? Sacchet: On the site plan, yes. This is a new site plan. Judy Schmieg: Thank you. Okay. Does the city, let me clarify that. The residents of Chanhassen still own the property that's described as Lot 1, Block 1, Old Village Hall. Miller: Yes. Judy Schmieg: Okay. So this is the time and the place for those citizens, if they're going to sell a piece of property, to come and have an opinion about their piece of property. Is that correct? Aanenson: That's not correct. Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Sacchet: No it's not. Judy Schmieg: Okay. ...just one more. Can we just back up then? That's not correct Aanenson: No. This is the Planning Commission is here to decide whether or not this site plan meets the zoning code. That's what this hearing's about. Not to decide, this body does not have the jurisdiction to decide whether or not this piece of property should be sold. Judy Schmieg: Okay. So can you just tell us citizens that keep waiting for communication for all of this, how we do this? We wait for a public hearing. We have 160 signatures. We wait until it's told and then it is our property. We should at least have a voice in it. You people are representatives of us. If there's 160 people that don't want to sell this, like how do we do this then? Lillehaug: You need to contact your, the EDA which is our City Council. We don't represent the ownership of the land period. We up here don't other than. Judy Schmieg: Is your recommendation then that the, that we need to do it at the City Council level? So wait til all of this is done and then come back from the neighborhoods and say to the City Council, we don't want to sell this piece of property. It's very small. It's 1 acre. We don't want to sell it. And the city hopefully, council would listen to the people because that's what they're there for. Lillehaug: I would hope so. Sacchet: There is no reason why you can't contact the mayor or City Council at this point. About this, since you have that concern. Because I understand where you're at. Judy Schmieg: I'm a single citizen. There's a public hearing. We, you tell us right away when we come they can't decide anything. Aanenson: No, that's not what I said. Let me just clarify again what the Planning Commission's role is. The Planning Commission by law has to process an application within so many days and make a recommended. Judy Schmieg: I read that. Aanenson: Right, so that's what their role is. Judy Schmieg: I know that. So you tell us right away that that's all their role is. To approve it. Okay, if everything is done and the city planner approved it, and they've done everything, there's nothing for them to approve. They're abided by the laws. They did everything right so they're not, and they can't make any choices whether we think it Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 should be a Dairy Queen or a school. So that means you're saying they can't tell us, the citizens that. Aanenson: Well just to back up. Again, within that zoning district that's probably the most, the largest number of uses can go in that district. So if it wasn't a daycare, could it be a liquor store? Yes. Could it be a bar? Yes. Judy Schmieg: Let me comment to that. In answer to Justin's question. Bethany I think you asked Justin, what happens if they move out in 10 years? Justin nicely said they can't because we put in there that they can't open up a Quick and Easy and a liquor store. And they can't do that, right? Miller: That's right. Judy Schmieg: No Justin, they did that to us. Exactly that. They said nothing will go in there. Now it's a park. That's exactly what they told us. Just like you're telling Bethany that we won't let it. We put that in there they can't sell it to a liquor store or... so that's a frustration that the city is meeting right now. The other thing is, if it's a school, if it's a school, is it charter? It's in a daycare. It's a daycare. It's 6 weeks to 6 years. They go to school at 6 years old. This is a daycare. And it should, is it licensed by Minnesota, here in Chanhassen that this is a daycare. It's a New Horizon. It has all the same issues New Horizon, everybody else has. Another thing, if you do take wrought iron gates for children, have you ever seen a head hit against a wrought iron railing? With 134 kids, you want them to climb up 4 feet so they can hang on the railing and smash their head. 134 kids. That doesn't make sense. Why would you even care? Then when you stick them right on traffic, I went by there at 5:00 today too, and unless you put a semaphore light across from Frontier Dinner Theaters to let those people out, people will never get out and you'll back up traffic to 101 because I stopped my car to see how long it took. I just pretended and killed the engine. And how quickly I could back up traffic coming off of 5. This is not the place for this particular thing and I agree with you. There is nothing wrong with a daycare. St. Hubert's, new St. Hubert's has a front parcel and a back parcel. They have playgrounds. They have traffic control. They have parking spaces. You have 31 spots. That doesn't even include staff parking. Sacchet: Okay, that was the comment part? Judy Schmieg: But I'll let someone else, so that everyone can get a chance. Sacchet: Alright, thanks Judy. Appreciate your speaking up. We have somebody else. Chris Thompson: My name is Chris Thompson. I don't live in Chanhassen but I represent Remax Action West, which is an adjoining parcel. And I have two issues that I just want to bring to your attention. One has to do with the traffic, and I guess if we can have a camera on here. This is the entrance to Remax right here. We have a perpetual easement to get into Remax. I'll illustrate which lines in that direction. And my comment is that what we would like to see is in the re -writing of this easement which is Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 occurring, to lose one of the spots in the parking lot and to cut back on this existing island here. To make the entrance into Remax a more reasonable entrance as opposed to kind of being in the back of this parking lot as it exists today. The reason that that ended up being like it is is because of the existing island that's in that parking lot. I was not involved, my father-in-law Darrell Berger who is the owner of Remax and I wasn't involved in the writing of this easement but I believe, from what I understand, the idea was not to disturb that island at that time and that's how we ended up with an easement as we did. Sacchet: So you're proposing that that would change that island. Chris Thompson: What I'm proposing is to change this island, and if one looks at, the easement is supposed to be 26 feet wide and it actually requires, if you ever use this parking lot, and I have a few times, to turn in, in this direction, many times you're going to run over the curb here. The turning radius is too sharp and it would not be something that I think the architect would plan on in the absence of this island being here to begin with. And the way I've laid it out, it would just require one parking spot to be lost, which based on the parking count that I see is, as it was laid out in the site plan, and I could have an older site plan but my copy suggests that the school needs 28 spaces. And if the church is shown with 7, although I think it's the church and the city hall, if you lose one space, on my count you get 33 spaces. And you had mentioned 51 just a few minutes ago, I'm not sure where that came from so I just thought I'd point that out. So anyway, my main point is, has to do with the easement as it exists with the city right now. There is a written easement that's described. I'd like to see, I don't have a problem or we don't have a problem with this development and contrary to some of the other comments, you know I can take it or leave it. But if there's going to be a change. Sacchet: Like to improve that. Chris Thompson: I'd like to see a more reasonable entrance to Remax. It wasn't really the entrance that we had hoped for, my father-in-law had hoped for to begin with. I know that. And so there were some accommodations made at that time. The other thing has to do with signage and we would propose that there be some common signage associated with Remax with the proposed school and the church and/or city hall in this general area to help guide people as to where they're going. So we would propose that if there is to be some kind of stand alone monument sign or something, that it be a common sign. Sacchet: Okay, good point. Chris Thompson: And that's my comment. Sacchet: Appreciate it very much, thank you. Lillehaug: Can I ask. Sacchet: Yeah, go ahead Steve. Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Lillehaug: It doesn't look like they're touching that portion of the parking lot. I don't know, are you willing to pay them money to redo their parking lot in that area? Just a question. Chris Thompson: The removal of that small amount of island is not going to cost very much, and we would be willing to share in that cost of just that. Lillehaug: Okay. Sacchet: That's fair, thank you. Anybody else wants to address this item. Public hearing is still open. If nobody else wants to speak up, yes. We've got a retake here from our friend Judy. You going to ask me how long you have this time again? Alright, go ahead. Judy Schmieg: You are the Planning Commission. Sacchet: Yes, we are the Planning Commission. Judy Schmieg: And that is important for the planning of how things work together in this city. And to have no say other than to meet the regulations doesn't seem right either. That there should be a lot of thought put into planning and I think I was commenting to you Sharmeen, when you take a senior citizen high rise with the age of 73, average age 73 and you put a bicycle shop next to it, how great you know that is for those senior citizens to go to the bike shop. When you put a Houlihan's where they love to eat because they can't hear anybody is like that whole planning is an issue in this town. We have become a strip mall. There are 15 strip malls in this town and what, 19 banks are we up to or something. Sacchet: They're definitely sprouting. Judy Schmieg: ... you are the Planning Commission. It is important. It's very important that you have, and we've worked hard to keep that little bit of green space and if that takes planning to do it, then it should be done. Coffee shop, we haven't started there. Sacchet: Yeah, well you want a Dairy Queen there? Judy Schmieg: It should be stayed with a park. Sacchet: Alright, thank you very much. So do we have any last takers here for the public hearing? Seeing nobody, I'm going to close the public hearing. Bring it back to the commission for discussion. Comments. Steve, you want to start? Lillehaug: I have a couple questions first. Is this land zoned for the use of the, what they're? Aanenson: Yes. Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Lillehaug: Okay. And then maybe a question to Justin. Were there previous, was there previous verbiage attached to this property when the city bought it that precludes this use? Putting a school or a daycare on this property or that said it was going to be a park from here on out. Miller: No. As far as I understand, this land that used to be Pony Express, Pauly's Bottle Shop, I think John Pryzmus had an office there. So they call it the Pony/Pauly/Pryzmus property. As I understand there were no restrictions on the land when we bought it. Lillehaug: When the city bought it there was no restrictions? Miller: There were no restrictions. Sacchet: Where's the notion that this would be park come from? Miller: I do not know if it's, I don't know that it's ever been decided by the city that it will be a park. If that's the case, I would stand corrected if somebody can produce those records but. Sacchet: It's something I think should be researched. Miller: There might have been a recommendation from the park commission. Aanenson: There was a recommendation. The City Council never acted on that recommendation. Sacchet: So there was a notion but it wasn't implemented. Aanenson: The park commission discussed it... Sacchet: Okay, as a possibility. Aanenson: ...but the City Council never said we're going to re -guide it open space as a park. It was never rezoned or anything like that. Sacchet: So in terms of the comprehensive plan, in terms of the zoning, it was always considered full commercial. Miller: It is not denoted as a park in our park system. It doesn't have a name as a park. Judy Schmieg: Heritage Square. Aanenson: And it's commercially zoned. All our other parks are zoned parks/open space. So this still has a commercial zoning to it. Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Sacchet: Okay. Okay, did you have some wisdom since you've seen this all unroll in front of your eyes? Dick Mingo: Could I add one other thing? Sacchet: Real quick, yeah. Dick Mingo: Originally the business places that were located were, the spot we're talking about of course, were I think picked up through condemnation, am I not correct on that? Aanenson: That's correct. Dick Mingo: And it was my understanding when that occurred we would not replace, you eliminate a business place that had been there since 1933 and now replace it with another business place. I think that's dirty pool when we do stuff like that and I know time has changed things but still, as I recall going back historically, the only thing that was ever proposed for that property, other than a park possibly, was a library and they decided it's not big enough for a library to go in there. Sacchet Too small for a library, yeah. Especially the size of library we got. Alright. This turned out more lively. I think we can compete with Chaney and Edwards here tonight. Ahight, we have comments and discussion here. Kurt, you want to. Papke: In general I support this. This seems to satisfy all the zoning regulations, requirements, comprehensive plan. I understand the issues the citizens have had with a perception, or an expectation that this would be a park but that's really up to the City Council to decide. I think the request brought forth by the Remax representative were very reasonable. I think the suggestion of, for sharing of the costs of the island certainly makes sense. I can see where that could be a real issue, particularly with all the slopes and so forth, and I liked kind of the idea of the common signage too. Has that been considered? Is that? Aanenson: Yes. We've talked to him about that. Papke: Okay. Okay, so other than that I have no real issues. I have some concerns about the aesthetics of this, given that we're going to see a lot of roof here as you come down 78`" Street but I think the IDA has decided that this is how they want to develop that property and I think that's how it goes. Lillehaug: Well said. Sacchet: Anything more to add Dan? Keefe: Yeah, I generally, you know I don't think we have jurisdiction over getting into whether it's a park or not and I think they seemed to have worked with you guys really Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 well and seem to have a pretty well designed building and I don't know that we really have anything but really to support it because I think they've done a pretty good job in regards to the planning issues. I did have just a couple of questions, just so I can clarify. The area outside of the play areas that's within the fence on either side of the building, what is the surface? Aanenson: Grass. Keefe: Is it grass? Aanenson: Grass, except for the area underneath the play structures... Keefe: Okay, so it is grass. Aanenson: Correct. Keefe: I guess in terms of lighting of the building, any sort of after hours. Is it going to be a well lit area or what was your? Al -Jaffa Well there is existing light fixtures out there today. They are adding a few light fixtures on the building itself and that is denoted on the light plan that you have. They are not adding any new fixtures to the overall site. You've got lights on West 78a' as well as Great Plains Boulevard and I think there are five fixtures between the plaza and between Village Hall and this site. Keefe: Yeah, even one of my thoughts is just you know as you're driving down, it may be after dark and you know, how's it going to change. I mean we've done a lot of work with the roof, but you know are we now going to have lighting in places which is going to kind of detract from some of the changes that we made in terms of that? And they have to come back with more specifics on lighting but I just kind of want to bring it up as maybe a concern that we just want to make sure that we. Aanenson: Follow through. Keefe: So, that's it. Tjornhom: My comments, well the first was going to be directed to some of the people that were here but they left so I can't. I was going to say that I am sympathetic to how they feel. I drive by there all the time and I like the open space in a perfect world. It would be nice to have a gazebo or like he said, a memorial to the pioneers or something, but that's not my job here tonight. My job is to review this site plan and see if it meets the standards of the city and I think it's a good use for that area. We have a school across the street and I think it fits in well, and so I also, I see nothing wrong with this. So that's it. Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Sacchet: Alright. I don't really have much to add. We have to be clear what our scope is of what we're dealing with and it's a good proposal. I think it's compatible with the surrounding. It fits with the comprehensive plan. With the zoning. Seems like an extensive effort went into working with staff and making it as much suitable as possible in every which way. The concern of the residents about trying to make this a park is really not our decision here. I mean it's something that City Council's going to have to look at. So with that I'm willing to take a motion. Lillehaug: I'll make a motion the Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan 04-32 for an 8,068 square foot building to house a school as shown on the plans dated received September 3, 2004, subject to the following conditions 1 through 18. Sacchet: We have a motion. Is there a second? Papke: Second. Lillehaug moved, Papke seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan 04-32 for an 8,068 square foot building to house a school as shown on the plans dated received September 3, 2004, subject to the following conditions: 1. Applicant shall preserve all existing trees south of the grading limits and outside of the property lines. Any trees removed will be replaced at a rate of 2:1 diameter inches. 2. Applicant shall move the red maple shown in the southeastern corner of the site to a location within the grading limits. A revised landscape plan shall be submitted to the city. 3. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies will have to be obtained including but not limited to the MPCA and Watershed District. 4. Add detail sheet showing City Detail Plate Nos. 1002, 1006, 2001, 3101, 3102, 5201, 5203, 5214 and 5300. 5. Sanitary sewer and water hookup charges are applicable for the new building. The 2004 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 for sanitary sewer and $2,814 for watermain. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance. All of these charges are based on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met Council. 6. Prior to building permit issuance, all plans must be signed by a professional civil engineer registered in the state of Minnesota. 7. Any retaining wall over 4 feet in height must be designed by a Structural Engineer registered in the State of Minnesota and require a permit from the Building Planning Commission Meeting — October 5, 2004 Department. A 4 -foot safety fence must be included on top of the wall where adjacent to a pedestrian walkway. 8. On the site plan, revise the handicap parking stall from 9 -inch to 9 -feet. 9. On the utility plan: - Revise the sanitary sewer pipe class from SDR35 to SDR26. - Revise the watermain pipe from CL55 to CL52. 10. Show all existing easements on the plans. 11. Revise the plans to provide a minimum of 1.5 feet of elevation difference between the FFE of the building and the emergency overflow elevations of the side yard areas. 12.

All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. Sacchet: We wish you luck with this. Excellent project. Lillehaug: Could I add a comment to this? Sacchet: Yes. This is going to council. We do want to summarize. Lillehaug: I just want to make a note that, at least in my opinion, my support wasn't for the actual use of this land for this building versus leaving it open space. It was strictly looking at the site plan because I'm not sure if I support it or not leaving it open space or not so it was strictly looking at the site plan and if it adhered to the city comp plan and ordinances. Sacchet: Yeah, in summary for our council I think we have to be very clear that we look at this as a site plan. How it fits with the ordinances. The comprehensive plan. With the uses in the surrounding, which in those context it seems a very good fit. However the concern that's been brought up very strongly from the local residents that they would prefer this to be an open area, a park, possibly a memorial or something like that. I think that's a consideration that has merit but that's not our scope to decide upon so that's going to be up to the City Council to look at, which I would hope has been looked at to some extent when they made the decision to consider this. So to some extent I would expect that this is a little bit of a done deal as such, which then poses another difficulty which was brought up by the residents that felt they had not any opportunity to input into that process. I mean the fact that they have a list of signatures of 150 or 60 long certainly shows that there would have been a voice from the citizen side that should be heard, and maybe there should be an effort made in retrospect to put that into the picture and see how that can be duly considered in the process. So I would very much want to encourage the City Council to consider that but that's not our job here as Planning Commission. Anything more we want to add to the summary for council? Alright, that's it for this one. Thank you very much. PAINT 0 QCWSE Chanhassen44illa er Development proposed Wednesday, Apnl 14, 2004 By Melissa Gilman Staff Writer for historic downtown site Heritage Square is home to the historic St. Hubert Catholic Church and Village Hall, both more than 100 years old. That they both still stand is an anomaly in Chanhassen, which developed later than neighboring Chaska. Unlike that city's brick buildings and quaint houses, Chanhassen had few structures besides farmhouses and barns until the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres opened in 1968, kick-starting development. Given that the church and hall, which also contains the original jail cell, are such rare specimens, the city has proceeded cautiously when considering making changes to the site. It purchased the triangular parcel at the corner of West 78th Street and Great Plains Boulevard several years ago during a redevelopment push. The Chanhassen City Council switched into its economic development role Monday after its regular council meeting, to consider a proposal for the site. Paul Nesburg wants to open a Dunn Bros. Coffee near ReMax Action West, and Fred and Valaire Riese want to open a day care and school for children up to six years old, east of the church and village hall. Nesburg and the Reises are Chanhassen residents. Justin Miller, assistant to the city manager, said the 1,800 -square -foot coffee shop and 8,000 -square -foot day care are good uses for the site, and would complement the existing church and activity from Chapel Hill Academy, across the street. "Our main concern is traffic Flow and respecting the architecture of old village hall and the church," Miller said. A proposal for building a Dairy Queen Grill & Chill on the site received a lukewarm reception in January 2003. The city and developer decided it wasn't the right spot for the restaurant. The church steeple is visable from several locations in the community, and the city wants to protect those site lines. It's not likely that a building over one story would be allowed to develop. Steven Mosborg is vice president of corporate services for Park Midwest Commercial Real Estate, which is overseeing the coffee shop and day-care proposal. Mosborg told the Economic Development Authority that the proposed architecture, playground equipment and fencing would be respectful of the historic look of the site. Nesburg owns the Savage Dunn Bros. Coffee, and wants to develop one in Chanhassen and Chaska. The Rieses would be the first owners of a Goddard School in Minnesota. Brandy Geiger is the site development manager for Pennsylvania -based Goddard Systems Inc. "Goddard is a preschool program, not just a daycare," Geiger told the EDA. "We have a full curriculum, focusing on cognitive skills, social and emotional development, and we encourage creativity." The school accepts children ages six weeks to six years old. The EDA directed city staff to work with the developer on the site plan, architectural details and a purchase price. http://www.chanvi l lager.conVpri nt. asp?Artic lefD=5120&SectionID=2&S ubSectionlD=2 10/6/2004 The site was formerly home to Pauly's Bar and grocery, which prior to the era of the dinner theater, pretty much constituted downtown Chanhassen.

His group home counselors would subsequently unpack the suitcase. But the very next Friday, he would pack his suitcase. It was a weekly ritual. But how did they know he was packing for camp, and not just packing his suitcase because he wants to leave the group home? "Because he stops doing it once he's been to camp," they were told. "And he only starts up again in the spring when he knows the weather is getting warm and summer is coming." wset muday na amassy%•-------- After dinner there is an eve- ning Program from 7 to 7:30 Pm.

They plan to build a preschool on the corner of West 78th Street and Great Plains Bou. levard, next to Old Village Hall. The Rieses approached the city in April with their plan, which at the time, Included a partner building a Dunn Bros. Coffee on the site. However, it didn't look like both businesses could fit on the site so the coffee shop is looking at other spots in the city. The Rieses must still go through the city site plan re- view process. The Chanhassen Planning Commission will re- view the proposal for an 8,000 - square -foot building Oct. 5, and the City Council will review It Oct. 11. Fred Riese told the EUA, comprising the Chanhassen City Council, that he expects to open The Goddard School by June 2005. The cilY purchased the It -j. angular -shaped parcel several years ago daring a redevelop- ment push. The site was for- merly home to Pauly's Bar and grocery. Due to its location next to Old Village Hall and Historic St. Hu- bert Catholic Church, the city wants any development on the site to reflect the appearance and nature of those buildings. For that reason, a proposal for build. ing a Dairy Queen Grill & Chill on the site received a lukewarm reception in January 2003.

It turned out the coffee shop didn't work well on the site due to parking and traffic Flow concerns so the preschool, the Goddard School, is purchasing the property by itself. But Dunn Bros. is still interested in building in the city, and is looking at another city -owned site just across the street. The city owns just less than an acre of land made up of three parking lot parcels between the Medical Arts building (adjacent to the clock tower) and the mall that contains Cameo Cleaners. Brad Johnson of Lotus Realty proposes to construct two buildings on either side of the entrance for those buildings: a 3,500 -square -foot restaurant on the west side and a 1,800 -square -foot Dunn Bros. with a drive through on the east side. Justin Miller, assistant to the city manager, presented the idea to the city's Economic Development Authority (EDA) Monday to see if there was any interest in proceeding with negotiations. The EDA comprises the five - member city council. Johnson said Dunn Bros. could probably be built this winter with the restaurant being built about a year later. Although the city already has close to 30 restaurants, "Five out of 10 people I talk to say they want a white tablecloth restaurant," he said. The city has two free standing coffee shops --Caribou Coffee and Starbucks --and a small Caribou Coffee in Byerly's. Mayor Tom Furlong asked staff to bring back a draft site plan, an understanding of how this development would impact traffic in the area, and details on proposed sale price. The EDA expects to meet again in November to discuss the proposal.

Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. Staff is recommending approval of the request. LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: 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 Goddard School Planning Case No.04-32 October 5, 2004 Page 2 PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The applicant is requesting site plan approval for the construction of an 8,068 square foot building housing a school. The site, with an area of 1.25 acres, is located at the southeast intersection of West 78th Street and Great Plains Boulevard. Access to the site is gained via a full curb cut off of Great Plains Boulevard. The site is zoned Central Business District. This zoning district permits the broadest range of uses. There are cross access and parking agreements with neighboring properties (Remax, Village Hall, and Homestead Church). A school of this type generates traffic and parking demand in off -set hours which complements surrounding uses. Staff believes this is a good use for the site. The building is well designed. The main exterior material is brick. Accents are provided through the use of fiber cement siding, columns, recessed walls, windows, and a pronounced canopy at the entrance of the building. Parking for vehicles is mainly located south of the building and is hidden from views from West 78th Street. Staff has been working with the applicant for several months. They have been very cooperative and have implemented staff's recommendations into the plans. Topics of discussion included parking, materials, design standards, standards associated with this specific development, and protecting the historic integrity of the old St. Hubert Church and old Village Hall to the east. A pedestrian trail runs along the north and west sides of the site. Sidewalks are introduced to this site and connect with the existing sidewalk system on neighboring properties and onto the City's trail system. The current hard surface coverage is 62.2%. The CBD District does not have a limit on hard surface coverage. One trash enclosure is shown for the building, located within the central island in the parking lot. The enclosure is proposed to be built of materials matching the building. Staff regards the project as a well designed development. The overall design is sensitive to the historic image of the area. Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending approval of the site plan with conditions outlined in the staff report. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The proposed office building, with an area of 8,068 square feet, will be situated east of Great Plains Boulevard and south of West 780'Street. The site is bordered by Historic St. Hubert Church to the east, Great Plains Boulevard to the west, and West 78th Street to the north. The surrounding property is zoned Office Institutional. Access to the building is proposed via a full curb cut off of Great Plains Boulevard. Parking is proposed along the south portion of the building. The site falls within the most historic areas of the City of Chanhassen. With this in mind, the applicant designed a building that is respectful of the area. The main material on the building is The Goddard School Planning Case No.04-32 October 5, 2004 Page 3 red brick, (reflective of the church building), and white fiber cement siding projections (reflective of Village Hall). Windows are found on all four sides of the building. An arched brick design will be used above each window. The design of the building is attractive, provides variation and detail on the facade of the building. The height of the building is respectful of the church. The applicant provided a 3-D model as well as renderings that show that the church will maintain its current presence on West 78`" Street. The roof of the building contains dormers to break it up and give it some interest. The site plan shows the trash enclosure location along the northerly edge of the parking lot island. The ordinance requires dumpsters to be screened by a wing -wall and doors with siding and trim to match the building. The main material on the exterior of the structure will be brick to match the existing building. Rooftop equipment and mechanical equipment are not shown on the plans. All equipment must be screened from views. The applicant has explained to staff that roof top equipment will be screened by the roof. There are no minimum setbacks in the Central Business District. ARCHITECTURAL COMPLIANCE Size, Portion and Placement Entries: The building has a pronounced entrance. Articulation: The building incorporates adequate detail and has been designed very tastefully. The architectural style is unique to the building but will fit in with the surrounding area. The building will provide a variation in style through the use of brick, fiber cement board, glass, and canopies. The building utilizes exterior materials that are durable and of high quality. Samples of the materials as well as a rendering will be available at the meeting. Signs: All signage must meet ordinance requirements. A detailed sign plan which includes the lighting method will also be required. Individual channeled letters with the option of back lighting are permitted. Material and detail High quality materials - accent material may occupy up to 15 percent of the buildings fagade. The building will utilize brick as the main material. Fiber cement board panel is an accent material although it is permitted as a main building material. Color The colors chosen for the building are earth tones. The selection is unique but blends in with the surrounding buildings. The Goddard School Planning Case No.04-32 October 5, 2004 Page 4 Height and Roof Design The building falls within the most historic area of the City of Chanhassen. The height of the building will not block views of the church. Although there are no height limitations in this area, the applicant has made an effort to be respectful of the surrounding area. The roofline is staggered adding articulation to the design of the building. All roof top equipment must be screened from views. The ordinance requires a pitched element on buildings. This can be achieved through roof design or awnings. The building complies with this requirement. Facade Transparency All facades viewed by the public contain more than 50 percent windows and/or doors. Loading Areas, Refuse Areas, etc. The trash enclosure is located within the island in the parking lot. It will utilize the same materials as the building. Recycling space and other solid waste collection space should be contained within the same enclosure. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the City shall consider the development's compliance with the following: (1) Consistency 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; (2) Consistency with this division; (3) Preservation of 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; (4) Creation of 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; (5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special attention to the following: a. 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; The Goddard School Planning Case No.04-32 October 5, 2004 Page 5 b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; C. 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 d. 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. (6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. Finding: The proposed development is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance and the site plan review requirements. The site design is compatible with the surrounding development. It is functional and harmonious with the approved development for this area. Minor revisions are required and are outlined in the conditions of approval. WETLANDS Upon review of the plans, it is concluded that there are no wetlands on this site. GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL The plans propose to grade about 50% of the site for the new school building pad and part of the existing parking lot. The proposed grading will prepare the site for a one-story building with a finished floor elevation (FFE) of 971.5. The plans show the building draining towards the east and west to proposed catch basins. In the event that these catch basins become clogged with lawn debris, leaves, trash, etc., the storm drainage will pond up along both sides of the building to an elevation just over two inches below the FFE of the building. To minimize this potential flooding hazard, staff recommends that the plans be revised to provide a minimum of 1.5 feet of elevation difference between the FFE of the building and the emergency overflow elevations of the side yard areas. The parking lot and building drainage is proposed to be conveyed via a new storm sewer line to the south connecting with an existing storm manhole at the parking access off Great Plains Boulevard. The plan proposes a retaining wall around all sides of the building except part of the south side. A 4 -foot safety fence must be included on top of the wall where adjacent to a pedestrian walkway. The applicant should be aware that any retaining wall over 4 - feet in height must be designed by a Structural Engineer registered in the State of Minnesota. Also, it will require a building permit from the Building Department. The Goddard School Planning Case No.04-32 October 5, 2004 Page 6 The existing site is within the downtown drainage district. The existing downtown area has storm sewer that has been previously sized for full development of the properties within the drainage district. The downtown storm sewer all drains to existing ponds that treat the water. As such, no additional ponding improvements are required as part of this development. Storm sewer sizing calculations for a 10 -year storm event must be submitted prior to building permit approval. Proposed erosion control consists of silt fence around the perimeter grading limits of the site. A rock construction entrance will not be required but the applicant needs to keep the existing access and parking lot clean on a daily basis. Also, tree protection fencing must be installed around all trees in the construction zone that will remain. UTILITIES The plans propose on extending a new sewer service from an existing manhole on the west side and water from the existing watermain along the east side of the parcel. Overall, the utility layout looks fine. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. According to the City's Finance Department records, the underlying parcel was previously assessed for sanitary sewer and water. However, sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will still be applicable for the new building. The 2004 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 for sanitary sewer and $2,814 for watermain. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance. All of these charges are based on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met Council. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies will have to be obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA and Watershed District. STREETS AND PARKING LOT The plans propose on utilizing the existing southerly access off of Great Plains Boulevard and the existing parking lot. The minimum drive aisle width permitted by ordinance in an office district is 26 -feet. The plans show 24 -foot wide drive aisles. These drive aisles are fine with the Engineering Department since the applicant is utilizing the existing parking lot. There is already an existing cross -access agreement between the parcels that utilize the existing Great Plains Boulevard. PARKING TABULATIONS The city's parking ordinance requires: 1 parking space per classroom. This translates to 9 spaces. Staff believes this ratio is too low based on the usage and based on this usage would recommend a ratio of 1 space per six students. The maximum occupancy of the building is 134 students. This will result in a The Goddard School Planning Case No.04-32 October 5, 2004 Page 7 requirement of 23 parking spaces. The site contains 51 parking spaces. LANDSCAPING Minimum requirements for landscaping include 1,796 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the parking lot, 7 trees for the parking lot, and bufferyard plantings along West 78`h Street, Great Plains Boulevard and the east property line. The applicant's proposed as compared to the requirements for landscape area and parking lot trees is shown in the following table. The site is quite limited in its landscape area. There is existing vegetation along all property lines which lends the site an attractive, mature buffer. The applicant is retaining some of the existing landscaping in and around the parking lot including the shrubs along Great Plains Boulevard and the east property line. This preservation helps to satisfy the screening requirements for the parking lot. Two existing red oaks, three Austrian pines, and two Colorado blue spruce, each in fair to good condition, are within the grading limits and being removed. The applicant is proposing four red maples as replacements. Along the north property line, there is little space between the fence and the public sidewalk. The applicant is proposing a line of perennials running the length of the site. These are appropriate since plantings any larger in size would not do well in such a limited space. The applicant will be planting additional evergreen shrubs on the public property at the northwest corner. These shrubs will be understory plantings for the existing pines and crabapples and will help screen the utility boxes located at the intersection. The applicant will have to field locate the plantings in order to maintain adequate access to the boxes. Staff does not recommend adding additional landscaping to the bufferyard areas since the activity might damage or destroy some of the existing vegetation. All existing trees south of the grading limits within the parking lot shall be preserved. The applicant is proposing the addition of a red maple in the southeastern corner of the site, however, there is an existing hackberry in good condition in the same location. The applicant will need to revise the landscape and re -locate the maple in the northern half of the site. Required Proposed Vehicular use landscape area 1,796 sq. ft. >1,796 sq. ft.

The Goddard School Planning Case No.04-32 October 5, 2004 Page 8 LIGHTING The applicant submitted photometric calculations for the site. The majority of the light fixtures are in existence today. The applicant is proposing to add light fixtures on the building. Only shielded fixtures are allowed as required by ordinance. A detailed lighting plan shall be submitted. SIGNAGE One ground low profile business sign is permitted per street frontage. The sign may not exceed 8 feet in height nor be larger than 64 square feet. Also, one wall mounted sign per street frontage and above the main entrance of the building are permitted. The sign shall comply with city ordinances. The applicant must obtain a sign permit prior to erecting the signs on site. One stop sign must be posted on the driveway at the exit point of the site. A detailed sign plan incorporating the method of lighting, acceptable to staff shall be provided prior to requesting a building permit.
