Chanhassen City Council — May 28, 2013
May 10th. Was recognized right in this room with a bunch of city employees. We had at our banquet the
week before had also recognized Mark so he's 25 years as a full time fire marshal here in the city which is
also a milestone this year and a 40 year member, and he still gets up at 3:00 a.m. for those midnight or
late night calls so we really appreciate Mark's service. As you know Dale retired and he was our
Battalion Chief and we replaced Dale with John Murphy who was a Captain. 21 year member and John,
we're excited to have John in that role. He was recently promoted to that position. We've got 4
probationary fire fighters that will finish their one year probation at the beginning of next month on July
8'h at the annual Black Hat Ceremony, It's Monday, July 8`h at 7:00 at our main station. All are invited.
Year to date on calls. We're up about 40% from last year but last year we were really down so we're
probably a little over the average. Maybe single digit. Low single digit percentage so kind of on pace,
and I think a month ago I was talking about fire danger, with all, it was so dry and I think we caught up
really, really quickly. I wished we'd stop catching up at this point though. I'm ready for summer so,
we've got a great recruit class in. Probably the best one we've ever had and so we're excited about
bringing on some new folks too so take any questions if you have any.
Mayor Furlong: Great, any questions for Chief Wolff .9 Thank you again for the service the fire
fighters do and the department does with the American Legion for Memorial Day, we appreciate that.
Chief John Wolff: You bet, thank you.
BLUFF CREEK GARDENS: REOUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO INTERIM USE PERMIT
96-2 TO ALLOW FOR A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT PER SECTION 20-233(C) OF THE
CHANHASSEN CITY CODE ON PROPERTY ZONED AGRICULTURAL ESTATE (A-2):
LOCATED AT 850 FLYING CLOUD DRIVE: APPLICANT: SKIP COOK
Mayor Furlong: Let's start with a staff report please.
Kate Aanenson: Thank you Mayor, members of the City Council. This item appeared before the
Planning Commission on May 21' and they did recommend approval of the request. Again the applicant
is requesting an Interim Use, amendment to the Interim Use Permit to allow for a lot line adjustment.
Typically a lot line amendment, when it's not a subdivision can be done administratively but we altered or
made amendments to the City Code a few years ago when we found it was problematic when we had a
conditional use and someone was allowed to alter their lines and it may impact the standards of that
conditional use or the interim use so for that reason, for the lot line adjustment to go forward we need to
amend the Interim Use so it remains consistent with the parcel. So the subject site is at the bottom of the
Y. Flying Cloud Drive, County Road 61 and 101. There's a garden center there currently and the
property owner also owns the house behind in this area here. So the entire parcel is 10 acres. The
resulting parcel with this split would then be 8.3 acres and I'll go through that in just a minute here. Just
wanted again to kind of frame up where this property is. This property is all agricultural right now so
again we do provide conditional uses and interim uses in this area where we have no municipal services to
allow some reasonable use of the property. For example across the street we had the driving range and in
this particular instance we do allow the agricultural landscaping businesses on the conditional use. In
looking at the future of this area, the property again is in the black circle there is guided for office park
and office also to, along County Road 61 as we look at the new river crossing, the upgraded 61. We also
have office then to the east of 101 and then further to the west along the city limits it would be high
density residential. As you know with the County upgrade the City Engineer and myself are also looking
at kind of how, and the Planning Commission and also the Council, how these properties would be
developed in the future and providing additional access so in reviewing this application we wanted to
make sure that we weren't jeopardizing any of those future access points to allow for development. I just
want to point out too that we did put a stall on their potential commercial. We didn't specifically a site
but we'd evaluate that in the future as we move forward as we talk about maybe some support
13 -Io

Chanhassen City Council —May 28, 2013
commercial somewhere down in that area depending upon how it all aligns up. I think this is kind of
serendipity. It looks like it's right where the round about may be. So this is how the property currently is
being used and the Interim Use there were specific identifying how this property would be used so Area 4
is actually the area that's going to be split and joined from the Interim Use Permit. So they identified
Areas 1 and 2 again with the Interim Use, how they'd be used. 3 would just be for the storage and then 4
would be kind of the, was really to be added to planting. To provide screening to that house to the north.
So this is approximately where that lot line would go. Kind of creating that new lot so the interim use
then would just be the rest of the 8.3 acre parcel. Again this could have gone forward without any
approvals but for the fact of the Interim Use so this property now is not part of that landscaping business
so it changes that from the 10 acre parcel then to the 8.3. So with that the Planning Commission did
recommend approval. We did have some conditions of approval. There are 3 on there but we are
supporting this, as did the Planning Commission so we're recommending that you approve it and I'd be
happy to answer any questions you may have.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any questions for staff? Seeing none, is there any comments or thoughts
from council members? Mr. McDonald.
Councilman McDonald: No, I have none.
Mayor Furlong: Oh I'm looking at Mr. Laufenburger hitting his button and I said your name. I
apologize. Mr. Laufenburger.
Councilman Laufenburger: See how much sway you have on this council Mr. McDonald. It seems very
appropriate. I congratulate the staff for doing the work to make this happen. I have no questions and I
would support it.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any other thoughts? Obviously there are, as Ms. Aanenson mentioned, the
work that the County and MnDOT are doing with the upgrade of the river crossing and County Road 61
goes right by this property so it's nice that we, while this is coming forward now, obviously to my
knowledge it doesn't effect any of the street improvement projects or any of the design work that's taken
place there.
Kate Aanenson: No, and we want to make sure that both parcels had continued access so we don't have
to buy somebody out for taking an access point and typically we don't like, while it's agricultural, one is a
conditional use. The home to the back, although it looks like there's some quasi type of uses on there so
ultimately when we come down with urban services we'd certainly see this area being developed.
Mayor Furlong: Redeveloped.
Kate Aanenson: To a higher and better use.
Mayor Furlong: Yep, understand. Okay. If there are no other comments, would somebody like to make
a motion?
Councilwoman Ernst: Sure I'll move.
Mayor Furlong: Could you bring the motion back up on the screen?
Kate Aanenson: Yep.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Councilwoman Ernst.
a
Chanhassen City Council — May 28, 2013
Councilwoman Ernst: I make a motion that City Council approve amendment to the Interim Use Permit
subject to the existing restated and amended Interim Use Permit with conditions and adoption of the
attached Findings of Fact.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Is there a second?
Councilman Laufenburger: Second.
Mayor Furlong: Motion's been made and seconded. Any discussion on the motion? Hearing none we'll
proceed with the vote.
Councilwoman Ernst moved, Councilman Laufenburger seconded that the City Council approve
the amendment to Interim Use Permit 96-2 to allow for a lot line adjustment subject to the
amended and restated Interim Use Permit and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and
conditions:
1. The area of the new lot lines shall have the through driveway blocked from direct access to the
garden center to prohibit continued access to the garden center from this driveway.
2. Any stored landscape material or plants must be relocated from Area 4 to the Areas 1-3.
3. Permits must be obtained for the construction of, alteration of, or occupancy use changes to any
buildings on the site.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS:
Mayor Furlong: I'd like to start, oh I'm sorry. Councilwoman Ernst, do you have something?
Councilwoman Ernst: No, I was just going to talk about Memorial Day and the event that we had.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you.
Councilwoman Ernst: You know every year I go to this event. I keep thinking it can't get any better but
this year it was just phenomenal and I applaud Todd Hoffman and his team and the Legion and everyone
that was involved because it was just a phenomenal event.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any other council presentations? It was a good event. Well attended. We
went through about 2 or 3 seasons during the event with the weather but it was well attended. It was great
to, as Chief Wolff said, great to see many of the veterans who have been in these events for a long, long
time but they're still there and they're still participating and it's good to see so.
Councilwoman Ernst: And weather even held out.
Mayor Furlong: The weather held out. I think we had the best hour and a half of the day yesterday from
about 11:30 to 1:00 so it worked out great.
Todd Gerhardt: The mayor was in charge of weather on Memorial Day and I was in charge of it on Arbor
Day.

BLUFF CREEK GARDENS: REOUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO INTERIM USE PERMIT
96-2 TO ALLOW FOR A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT PER SECTION 20-233(C) OF THE
CHANHASSEN CITY CODE ON PROPERTY ZONED AGRICULTURAL ESTATE (A-2) AND
LOCATED AT 850 FLYING CLOUD DRIVE. APPLICANT: SKIP COOK. PLANNING CASE
2013-10.
Generous: Thank you Chairman Aller and commissioners. Bluff Creek Gardens is in for an amendment
to its Interim Use Permit because the property owner would like to change the property line of the
development. Under City Code such changes require an amendment to any approvals that they have. The
applicant is Skip Cook. Again, the reason for the amendment is due to the lot line adjustments. They're
reducing part of the property out of the development. The site is located at the northwest corner of
Highway 101 and Flying Cloud Drive. It's a unique shaped property. The new lot line will be an
adjustment of this lot line will come down 101 so that they'll have direct frontage onto the highway.
Right now they have an easement agreement to access their property. This area of the garden center will
be coming out of the project. The existing Interim Use Permit divided the site into four areas. Area 1 is
the retail and storage building site. Area 2 is the growth area where they have the nursery stock out in
that. Area 3 is for hard object stock such as rock and they have their bins for the mulch and things like
that. And then Area 4 was an overflow area as part of the overall development and it was for overflow
landscaping materials that they had and some equipment. This area has very little use within the
development. We are recommending approval of the amendment to allow the lot line change subject to
the existing restated and amended Interim Use Permit which is attached to the project and the additional
conditions in the staff report, and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Recommendation. With
that I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Aller: Any of the commissioners have any questions? I received the packet. The packet's a part of the
record. I don't have any questions.
Aanenson: Chairman Aller, if I may, just for some background. It's in the staff report but I want to make
sure for our new commissioners, we had made a code amendment a couple years ago where we had
conditional uses, interim uses, in certain circumstances people can subdivide if it's in agricultural zone
and it may have an interim use on it and because the State law allows you to subdivide a piece of
property, but we wanted to make sure if it had an interim use or a conditional use on it, or even a lot line
Chanhassen Planning Commission — May 21, 2013 •
moving that we would notify on that because it may affect the terms of the interim use so this would have
gone through the staff administratively but because of that new ordinance put in place, and really it's a
control point where someone may sell off a portion of it. They moved a property line. Sell off a portion
of that property that would affect the underlying conditions of that interim use. For an example on this
one, there's a lot of ways the lot line could have moved that would affect the functionality of that so we
just want to make sure that it worked for the interim use and it doesn't change the terms and conditions of
that so with that we are supporting that as Mr. Generous stated but I just wanted to make sure for the new
planning commissioners that was really the rational basis behind that.
Aller: Great. My understanding is that the landscape materials will be moved from Area 4 to 1 and 3.
Generous: And to the garden center site that remains after the approvals.
Aller: Any additional comments? Questions?
Weick: One question. Area 4 becomes just part of the small triangle then that the home is on, correct?
Generous: Right, part of the single family home.
Weick: So that becomes one lot.
Generous: One lot.
Weick: Okay.
Generous: In the future this area is guided for office use so we think when urban services become
available it will intensify the uses down on the property and they'll work together.
Weick: Thank you.
Aller: Alright. Any additional comments? Questions? Okay, is the applicant here? Would like to make
any comments. Presentation. Anything.
Skip Cook: Not at this point. I'm here but...
Aller: We don't have any real questions based on the report so.
Skip Cook: Okay.
Aller: With that, okay. I'll entertain a motion or, any comments or questions? Oh, what I need to do is

Sec. 20-268. Wholesale and retail nurseries.
(1) Intent. It is the intent of this section to recognize that preexisting retail nurseries and garden
centers are located within the city and may be in conflict with the comprehensive plan and
zoning ordinance. These establishments predate current ordinance standards. To allow for
planned and orderly development, the city finds it necessary to regulate the expansion or
intensification of these uses and to provide standards for any future retail nursery or garden
centers. It is the intent of this section to promote the health, safety, general welfare,
aesthetics, and image of the community by regulating the creation and the expansion of
existing retail nurseries and garden centers. The creation or expansion of these uses will be
allowed only by interim use permit by the city council.

a. The site must be on a collector or minor arterial as identified in the comprehensive plan.
b. The minimum lot size is five acres.
c. All storage and yard areas as well as buildings must be set back 50 feet from public or
private road rights-of-way, and 300 feet from an adjacent single-family residence or a
minimum of 50 feet from a side lot line, whichever is greater.

accomplished using berms, fencing, landscaping, natural topography, or increased
setbacks. The city council may require storage areas to be completely screened by 100
percent opaque fencing or berming.
e. Hours of operation shall be from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The city council may further
restrict hours of operation if the use is located adjacent to property guided residential as

Chapter 20, Article IV, Division 5, Interim Use Permits
Chapter 20, Article X, "A-2" Agricultural Estate District
BACKGROUND
On March 11, 1996, City Council approved an ordinance amendment permitting wholesale and
retail nurseries in the A-2 district as an interim use.
On July 8, 1996, the City Council approved IUP #96-2 for a wholesale and retail nursery, and a
250 -foot Variance from the 300 -foot setback requirement from residential property.
The subject property has been used as a farmer's market and retail nursery prior to the adoption of
the Chanhassen zoning ordinance in 1972. Sunny Acres produce stand occupied the subject
property prior to the site being used as a nursery. Use of the property for retail purposes predates
the City's Zoning Ordinance. The site contains four structures: the primary retail building
measuring 40' x 50' (2,000 square feet) in area, two white storage structures measuring 32' x 40'
(1,280 square feet) each, and one greenhouse.
In the fall of 2004 and spring of 2005, staff conducted inspections of the subject property to
determine compliance with the conditions of IUP #96-2. It was discovered that the tenant (Green
Gardens) was in violation of several of the IUP conditions. The tenant was informed that the site
must be brought into compliance or the 1UP would need to be amended to allow the expanded use.
On May 8, 2006, the City approved an amendment to the Interim Use Permit for the property
expanding on the nursery use of the property. 1
ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Interim Use Permit to remove Area 4, as seen in
the site schematic from the garden center site, which will be attached to the property to the north.
Planning Commission
Amendment to Interim Use Permit 96-2

Page 4 of 5
IUP #96-2 was approved with a site plan that split the property into four sections (Areas 1-4). The
2006 expansion of the nursery use consisted of a rearrangement of permitted uses in relation to their
area designations. The use of the site is as follows with changes due to the 2006 amendment
underlined:
Area 1: Retail building, two existing storage buildings, a greenhouse, nursery equipment storage,
waste disposal, customer parking, sales display area and a future storage shed/supplementary office
building.
The use of Area 1 must be amended to permit the addition of a third storage shed. All waste
disposal areas shall be in a screened enclosure. The existing retail building offers limited office
space for the purposes of wholesale trade. The applicant proposed creating office space in a portion
of the proposed third storage building for the sole purpose of serving wholesale customers. The
parking area has been moved from in front of the building and along the southeast property comer
and will be relocated along the side of and behind the existing retail building.
Area 2: Growing range for in -ground, potted and balled nursery stock, diVlav garden, storage bins
for stone and mulch, future greenhouse, future parking and a decorative pergola walkway/display.
If storage bins for stone and mulch are permitted in Area 2, then staff is recommending they be
screened from CSAH 61 (Flying Cloud Drive) with landscaping.
Area 3: Hard goods storage (stone and rock storage bins, storage of pallets containing stone/block .
Staff has determined that the slope behind Area 3 is not a bluff. The applicant is proposing to plant
a row of trees along the ridge that separates Area 2 from Area 3. The purpose of landscaping this
area is to screen the hard goods storage (Area 3) from public view. Staff is recommending a
mixture of evergreens, ornamental trees and shrubbery be planted along this ridge. Staff agrees with

Area 4: It was envisioned that this area would be used for storage of overflow nursery stock (i.e.
mulch, trees, plants and shrubs. This is the area of the property that will be removed from the
garden site and added to the single-family home to the north and east of the garden center.
The proposed amendment to the Interim Use Permit has minimal impact on the garden center. It
reduces the area of overflow nursery stock, but should not impact the actual operation. This area
should be either fenced off of or blocked from direct access to the garden center to prohibit
continued vehicle access to the garden center from this driveway location. Permits must be
obtained for the construction of, alteration of, or occupancy use changes to any buildings on the
site.
The City is working with the Minnesota Department of Transportation and Carver County on the
future alignment of Highway 101 from Pioneer Trail to CSAH 61 (Flying Cloud Drive).
Hennepin County, in coordination with MnDOT, Carver County, and the cities of Eden Prairie
and Chanhassen, is preparing for the reconstruction of Flying Cloud Drive (CSAH 61) between
Trunk Highway 101 and Charlson Road. This section of Flying Cloud Drive (CSAH 61) was a
tumback from the State of Minnesota in 2009 and was previously known as Trunk Highway 212.
The Project is in the early stages of the development process and construction is anticipated in
mid 2015. Highway 101 river crossing is also progressing. Project construction is anticipated in
2014 and 2015. Carver County is leading the project delivery and design effort for the Highway
I OI/Flying Cloud Drive "Wye" at the north end of the river crossing project, and the overall
project delivery and roadway design (including MnDOT's portion). MnDOT will continue to
assist Carver County with bridge design, construction engineering and other engineering services
as needed. Additionally, Chanhassen and Carver County are preparing for the reconstruction of
CSAH 61 west past Bluff Creek Drive. While the proposed amendment to the Interim Use
Permit should have no impact on these road projects at this time, in the future the alignment of
these roads may lead to a changed access.

BLUFF CREEK GARDENS: REOUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO INTERIM USE PERMIT
96-2 TO ALLOW FOR A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT PER SECTION 20-233(C) OF THE
CHANHASSEN CITY CODE ON PROPERTY ZONED AGRICULTURAL ESTATE (A-2) AND
LOCATED AT 850 FLYING CLOUD DRIVE. APPLICANT: SKIP COOK. PLANNING CASE
2013-10.
Generous: Thank you Chairman Aller and commissioners. Bluff Creek Gardens is in for an amendment
to it's Interim Use Permit because the property owner would like to change the property line of the
development. Under City Code such changes require an amendment to any approvals that they have. The
applicant is Skip Cook. Again the reason for the amendment is due to the lot line adjustments. They're
reducing part of the property out of the development. The site is located at the northwest comer of
Highway 101 and Flying Cloud Drive. It's a unique shaped property. The new lot line will be an
adjustment of this lot line will come down 101 so that they'll have direct frontage onto the highway.
Right now they have an easement agreement to access their property. This area of the garden center will
be coming out of the project. The existing Interim Use Permit divided the site into four areas. Area 1 is
the retail and storage building site. Area 2 is the growth area where they have the nursery stock out in
that. Area 3 is for hard object stock such as rock and they have their bins for the mulch and things like
that. And then Area 4 was an overflow area as part of the overall development and it was for overflow
landscaping materials that they had and some equipment. This area has very little use within the
development. We are recommending approval of the amendment to allow the lot line change subject to
the existing restated and amended Interim Use Permit which is attached to the project and the additional
conditions in the staff report and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Recommendation. With
that I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Aller: Any of the commissioners have any questions? I received the packet. The packet's a part of the
record. I don't have any questions.
Aanenson: Chairman Aller, if I may, just for some background. It's in the staff report but I want to make
sure for our new commissioners, we had made a code amendment a couple years ago where we had
conditional uses, interim uses, in certain circumstances people can subdivide if it's in agricultural zone
and it may have an interim use on it and because the State law allows you to subdivide a piece of
SCANNED
Chanhassen Planning Commission — May 21, 2013 •
property, but we wanted to make sure if it had an interim use or a conditional use on it, or even a lot line
moving that we would notify on that because it may affect the terms of the interim use so this would have
gone through the staff administratively but because of that new ordinance put in place, and really it's a
control point where someone may sell off a portion of it. They moved a property line. Sell off a portion
of that property that would affect the underlying conditions of that interim use. For an example on this
one, there's a lot of ways the lot line could have moved that would affect the functionality of that so we
just want to make sure that it worked for the interim use and it doesn't change the terms and conditions of
that so with that we are supporting that as Mr. Generous stated but I just wanted to make sure for the new
planning commissioners that was really the rational basis behind that.
Aller: Great. My understanding is that the landscape materials will be moved from Area 4 to 1 and 3
Generous: And to the garden center site that remains after the approvals.
Aller: Any additional comments? Questions?
Weick: One question. Area 4 becomes just part of the small triangle then that the home is on, correct?
Generous: Right, part of the single family home
Weick: So that becomes one lot.
Generous: One lot.
Weick: Okay.
Generous: In the future this area is guided for office use so we think when urban services become
available it will intensify the uses down on the property and they'll work together.
Weick: Thank you.
Aller: Ahight. Any additional comments? Questions? Okay, is the applicant here? Would like to make
any comments. Presentation. Anything.
Skip Cook: Not at this point. I'm here but...
Aller: We don't have any real questions based on the report so.
Skip Cook: Okay.
Aller: With that, okay. I'll entertain a motion or, any comments or questions? Oh, what I need to do is
open a public hearing so at this point, since we have public here, let's open a public hearing. Anyone
wishing to come forward, please do so. Everyone else must have read the report as well. Seeing no one
come forward, public hearing is closed. Comments. Questions. Motions. I'll entertain a motion.
Hokkanen: I'll make a motion.
Aller: Okay.

PUBLIC HEARING:
BLUFF CREEK WOODS: REOUEST TO REZONE 3.57 ACRES OF PROPERTY FROM
AGRICULTURAL ESTATE DISTRICT (A-2) TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
(BSF): SUBDIVISION WITH VARIANCES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PRIVATE
STREET AND USE OF A NECK LOT: AND A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW
DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE BLUFF CREEK OVERLAY DISTRICT. PROPERTY IS
LOCATED AT 7331 HAZELTINE BOULEVARD. APPLICANT: MARTIN SCHUTROP,
PLANNING CASE 2013-09.
Generous: Thank you Chairman Aller, commissioners. Bluff Creek Woods is, the applicant is Marty
Schutrop. It's a proposed development located at 7331 Hazeltine Boulevard. It's on the east side of
Highway 41, just across from Tanadoona Drive. The property's approximately 3 acres in size. The
request is to rezone the property from Agricultural Estate District to Single Family Residential District.
Subdivision approval with variances for the use of a neck lot and the construction of a private street and a
Conditional Use Permit to allow development within Bluff Creek Overlay District. The applicant is
proposing to divide the property into 3 buildable lots. The existing house would remain on the middle lot
and then there'd be 2 new building sites. The most southerly portion of the site would be put into an
outlot status. As part of this the Bluff Creek Overlay District is being redefined. Under the existing
mapping system that we have it shows that the whole property is within the primary zone. However we
know that there is actually developable area and as part of the process the City is permitted with the
developer to look at the site and determine what would be an appropriate delineation for that primary
zone. The three green lots on here include 2 of the new building sites and existing single family home in
the middle I should note that I did hand out earlier, put in front of you an email that I received from Hal
Newel. He's opposed to this development because of the addition of traffic onto Highway 41. It's hard
to tell from his comment whether he thought that there would be two new driveways going on there or if
he's aware that we're forcing them to have a common access point out onto Highway 41 and that's part of

Aller: Just for the record we have received and read the email

The smallest one is 33,000 square feet which is about three-quarters of an acre and the other two are over
one acre in size. The most northerly, Lot 3 is the neck lot and that's any lot that does not have it's full
frontage on a public street. We wait until it gets back to the lot width hits 100 feet and then we have a
valid lot and that's where we establish the setback area from As part of their application they did show a
