Metropolitan Council Review File No. 16500-10
Metropolitan Council District 4 (Julius Smith, 952-443-2430) GAS
Dear Mr. Generous:
The Metropolitan Council received the City's Gateway East 2nd plan amendment on April 27, 2005. The
amendment proposes to change the land use designation for approximately 4 acres located near Highway 5 and
Highway 101 from Park and Open Space to Commercial. The purpose of the amendment is to allow
construction of a city -owned and operated water treatment plant.
Council staff finds that the amendment is in conformance with metropolitan system plans, consistent with the
Regional Development Framework, and has no impact on the plans of other units of local government. Council
staff also finds that this amendment meets the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Administrative Review
Guidelines adopted by the Council on May 11, 2005. Therefore, the Council waives further action on this review
and the City may place this amendment into effect immediately.
However, staff offers the following advisory comments:
The Regional Park System plan includes the following three proposed regional trails: along Highway 101, along
Highway 5, and along the Twin Cities and Western Railroad, if it ceases to be used for rail purposes. The
proposed water treatment plant site also includes a trail bridge over Highway #5.
The three proposed regional trails could potentially be routed through the proposed Water Treatment plant site.
Council staff recommend that the city work Marty Walsh, Director of Carver County Parks, to determine how to
best plan and locate the proposed regional trails and to provide a connection to the local trail bridge overpass.
One potential option would be to modify the site design for the water treatment plant to accommodate both the
water treatment plant and the proposed future RT connections.
The amendment, explanatory materials supplied and the information submission form will be appended to the
City's Plan in the Council's files. If you have any questions about this review, please contact Tom Caswell,
Principal Reviewer, at 651-602-1319.

Metropolitan Council Review File No. 16500-10
Metropolitan Council District 4 (Julius Smith, 952- 43-2430)
Dear Mr. Generous:
The Metropolitan Council received the City's plan amendment for the Gateway East 2nd land use change
on April 27, 2005. The amendment proposes to reguide 3.94 acres of land from Parks and Open Space to
Commercial along trunk highway 5 near trunk highway 101.
Council staff finds the proposed plan amendment complete for review. In accordance with state law, the
Council has 60 days to complete its formal review of the plan amendment, with the option to extend the
review an additional 60 days. Staff anticipates that the review will be complete within the first 60-day
period, which ends June 25, 2005.
Council staff is evaluating the potential to administratively waive further review of this amendment. If
the review should be waived, the City will be notified within the next two weeks. At this time, staff does
not anticipate significant issues with this amendment.
If you have questions about this review, please contact Tom Caswell, Principal Reviewer, at 651-602-
1319.

PRESENT ZONING: Highway and Business Services District, BH
2020 LAND USE PLAN: Parks and Open Space
ACREAGE: 3.94 DENSITY: F.A.R.0.18
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City is requesting subdivision approval to create two lots and one
outlot at the end of West 79'" Street. On one lot, a water treatment facility is being proposed. The
second lot can either be sold or used by the City at a later date. The land use amendment would bring
the existing zoning and proposed and potential future uses of the property into compliance with one
another. The site plan approval is for the construction of the east water treatment plant with a variance
from the setback to West 79 h Street.
LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION -MAKING:
The City's discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat is limited to whether or not the
proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Ordinance. If it
meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving amendments because the City is acting in
its legislative or policy making capacity. An amendment must be consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
The City's discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the proposed
project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements. H it meets these standards, the City must then
approve the site plan. This is a quasi-judicial decision.

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The development proposal includes the subdivision of the three parcels constituting the property
creating two lots and an outlot with an easement for the extension of West 79`' Street. Outlot A
contains a parking area. Lot 1 is proposed for the East Water Treatment Plant. Lot 2 may be sold
as a commercial property or used by the City at a later date. The property is zoned Highway and
Business Services District, but is guided parks and open space in the City's comprehensive plan.
In order to clarify the use of the site and make the land use consistent with the zoning of the
property, the land is being re -guided to commercial use.
The City is proposing a 12,500 square foot, one-story, 24-foot high water treatment facility with
an 8,100 square -foot back wash tank. The building meets the setback from Highway 5 and West
790'Street. Building materials consist of a light brown brick, limestone colored block, beige
concrete sill accent and glass block windows. The building elevations are highly articulated with
many horizontal and vertical recesses and projections in the building fagade. The roof consists of
standing seam metal over the eastern end of the building, a flat roof in the central portions of the
building, and a barrel metal roof over the loading dock area A security system will be installed as
part of the building construction. The extent of the security system is still being evaluated.
The site is located on the eastern entrance to the City's downtown. The property becomes narrower
from west to east going from a width at its widest of approximately 195 feet down to a width of 100
feet. North of the site is the Twin City and Western Railroad and West 78a Street and the end of
West 79m Street. Highway 101 abuts the property to the east and Highway 5 abuts the property to
the south. The old Hanus building is located west of the site. The Highway 5 pedestrian bridge
intersects the western portion of the property, east of the proposed Water Treatment Plant building.
The high point of the site is at the pedestrian bridge at an elevation of 978 and then slopes to the
east, west and south. The low point on the property is in the southeast corner of the site at an
elevation of 940. Trees are scattered on the property with no significant natural stands. A large
grouping of pines is located in the southwest comer of the site, which are proposed to be preserved.
The proposed development complies with the City's zoning and subdivision ordinance with the
variance for the setback to West 79d Street. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed
development.
BACKGROUND
The site was previously owned by Apple Valley Red-E-Mix. In 1992, the City initiated the
condemnation of the former Apple Valley Red-E-Mix parcel. In October 1993, Apple Valley Red-
E-Mix vacated the property. In June 1995, the City finalized the purchase of the site.
On April 4, 1983, the City approved a non -conforming use permit, a conditional use permit (#82-
4) and a variance to permit a washout system at the Apple Valley Red-E-Mix site.
The eastern end of the site was previously owned and used for a Taco Shop. In October 1991, the
City initiated the condemnation of the Taco Shop parcel in conjunction with the realignment of the

intersection of Highway 101 and West 78'h Street. On May 21, 1993, the City finalized the
acquisition of the parcel.
The pedestrian bridge was constructed over Highway 5 in 1995.

time, it was thought that this area would be used as a park -like, open space gateway to the City of
Chanhassen. However, the site will serve the City as a water treatment facility site with an
additional lot that could be sold for development or used by the City. Utility services are a
permitted use in the BH district. The land use amendment will bring the comprehensive plan and
potential use of the site into compliance with each other.
GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE

Facade Transparency
50 percent of the first floor elevation that is viewed by the public includes transparent windows
and or doors. All other areas shall include landscaping material and architectural detailing and
articulation.
Site Furnishing
Community features include landscaping, lighting, and access to the pedestrian bridge. The
building has a raised plaza at its entrance.
Loading Areas, Refuse Area, etc.
Screening of service yards, and truck parking/loading areas cannot be accommodated due to the
constraints of the site and the function of the building. Access to the site is limited to West 79's
Street.
Landscaping and Tree Preservation
The landscape plan for the water treatment plant has been developed to reflect the natural
materials used in the building. Native trees, shrubs, and grasses as well as non-native perennials
and shrubs have been utilized to create a naturalized planting plan. The guiding factors for
selection and placement were attractiveness and low -maintenance.

moved Once the ground has thawed, staff will coordinate the move. The Austrian pines along
Highway 5 provide an excellent buffer for the plant and neighboring building and cell tower
base. Staff recommends that as many as possible of these trees be saved. Trees lost due to
construction will be replaced.
There is a large expanse of grass over the underground tanks. The current proposal includes sod
to be installed. Staff would like to explore the possibility of installing a planting of native
grasses or other ground cover that would alleviate the need for mowing. City staff and the
consultant will determine whether of not a shorter prairie grass or low ground cover would be
suitable in this area.
Currently, there is a naturalized area along the slope leading down to Highway 5. Staff is
recommending that this feature remain in order to eliminate maintenance requirements in this
steep area.
Staff recommends that, where feasible, sod be replaced by grass seed. Exceptions would include
along the curb line, trails and adjacent to the building.
Lot Frontage and Parking location
The property fronts on both Highway 5 and West 79`h Street. Site access and parking are
provided off West 79a' street. Parking is provided off West 79' Street.

SUBDIVISION REVIEW
GRADING, DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL
The existing site ranges from a high elevation of 978 in the west central portion of the site down
to a low point of 940 in the southeast comer. The plans propose to grade about 60% of the site
for a water treatment plant, a proposed street with a cul-de-sac, and a stormwater pond. While
the finished floor elevation of the treatment plan is set at 969.0, the site cannot be graded down
to this elevation because of the existing pedestrian bridge. The applicant has done a nice job of
working with this constraint and matching into the existing 978 elevation along the east side of
the building. Because of the need to hold the 978 ground elevation near the pedestrian bridge, a
retaining wall (6' —10) will be required along the north side of the backwash tanks adjacent to
the south side of the street and trail. This retaining wall will require a building permit from the
City's Building Department.
Planning Commission • •
Planning Case No. 05-12

The existing site drainage is encompassed within two different drainage areas. Under existing
conditions, the westernmost portion of the site drains off site to the west while the remainder of
the site drains to an existing storm sewer culvert in the southeast comer of the site. Under
developed conditions, the applicant is proposing to capture the eastern half of the street drainage,
all of the Lot 2 drainage and a large majority of the Lot 1 drainage. This stormwater will be
conveyed via storm sewer and overland flow to the proposed pond in the southeasterly comer of
the site for treatment. The remaining impervious surface from the street and treatment plant will
drain to ane existing storm sewer in West 79`s Street, which flows to an existing pond in the
downtown area. The proposed pond must be designed to National Urban Runoff Program
(NURP) standards with maximum 3:1 side slopes and a 10:1 safety bench at the NWL. An outlet
control structure, per City Detail Plate No. 3109, must be installed at the outlet of the pond.
Drainage calculations for the site have been submitted and only minor changes remain. The
applicant is required to meet the existing site runoff rates for the 10-year and 100-year, 24-hour
storm events. Storm sewer sizing calculations must be submitted prior to final plat application.
The storm sewer must be sized for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event. Drainage and utility
easements must be dedicated on the final plat over the public storm drainage system including
ponds, drainage swales, and wetlands up to the 100-year flood level.
Proposed erosion control must be developed in accordance with the City's Best Management
Practice Handbook (BMPH). Staff recommends that Type I silt fence be used along the entire
south and west construction limits. A rock construction entrance, per City Detail Plate No. 5301,
must be added to the plans off of existing West 79's Street. In addition, tree preservation fencing
must be installed at the limits of tree removal. All disturbed areas, as a result of construction,
must be seeded and mulched or sodded immediately after grading to minimize erosion. Any off -
site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property owner.
Wetlands
No jurisdictional wetlands exist on -site.
Storm Water Management
The City's Surface Water Management Plan shows a regional storm water facility on this
property (RM-P5.2). The Riley -Purgatory -Bluff Creek Watershed District is currently designing
stormwater-related improvements within the Rice Marsh Lake subwatershed. Preliminary
discussions with the watershed district have suggested construction of a small regional
stormwater pond on this site. The applicant should work with the watershed district to provide
regional water quality infrastructure on this site.
The flow path and velocity of the water from the flared end sections to the storm water should be
evaluated. Erosion of the area is a concern as the water flows over the site into the pond.
A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) encompassing an erosion and sediment
control plan should be developed for the site. The SWPPP is needed prior to applying for the
NPDES permit.
Planning Commission • •
Planning Case No. 05-12
April 5, 2005
Page 7
Erosion Control
Temporary and permanent erosion control plans and details should be developed. Temporary
erosion control could consist of Type 1 mulch and temporary seed mixes. Erosion control
blanket should be applied to the storm water pond and any disturbed areas between the flared end
sections and the pond. Energy dissipation is needed at the flared end sections. Erosion control
blanket shall be installed on all slopes greater than or equal to 3:1. All exposed soil areas shall
have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover year round, according to the following
table of slopes and time frames:
Type of Slope Time
Steeper than 3:1 7 days
10:1 to 3:1 14 days
Flatter than 10:1 21 days
(Maximum time an area can
remain open when the area
is not actively being worked.)
These areas include constructed stormwater management pond side slopes, and any exposed soil
areas with a positive slope to a stormwater conveyance system, such as a curb and gutter system,
storm sewer inlet, temporary or permanent drainage ditch or other natural or man made systems
that discharge to a surface water.
Sediment Control
Street cleaning of soil tracked onto public streets shall include daily street scraping and street
sweeping as needed. Inlet protection should be provided following installation. Wimco-type
inlet controls are recommended. A rock construction entrance is needed from the site to West
79th Street. Chanhassen Type 1 silt fence should be installed around the south and east sides of
the site.
Other Agencies
The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies (e.g.,
Riley -Purgatory -Bluff Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency,
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (for dewatering)) and comply with their conditions
of approval.
UTILITIES
Municipal sanitary sewer is available to the site from the south. There is an existing sanitary
sewer main along the southern property line which the applicant is proposing to connect a
service line to. This connection will require the installation of a manhole on the existing sewer
main. As for water, the treatment plant itself will have multiple water lines coming to/from the
building. These watermains include typical distribution mains, raw watermains to carry water
directly from the wells to the treatment plant, a reclaim watermain which will carry a portion of
the filter backwash water back to the plant for treatment, and spraywash mains which give the
Utility Department staff the ability to clean out the backwash tanks. The actual potable water
Planning Commission • •
Planning Case No. 05-12
April 5, 2005
Page 8
service to the plant will come from the south side of the building off a relocated watermain. All
of the utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City of
Chanhassen's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Detailed construction
plans, including plan and profile drawings of the proposed utilities, are required to be submitted
at the time of final plat.
STREETS
The plans propose on extending West 79`s Street approximately 250 feet east of its current
terminus to serve the two proposed lots. Because this street will be extended within public or
City -owned property, additional public right-of-way is not necessary. An access easement for
the benefit of Lot 2 shall be recorded across Lot 1. The existing pavement width of West 79 h
Street is 27 feet from back -of -curb to back -of -curb. The standard pavement width for public
streets in commercial/business districts in Chanhassen is 36 feet from back -of -curb to back -of -
curb with a 48-foot cul-de-sac radius. In this case, staff is fine with the street width staying at 27
feet in order to stay consistent with the existing street width to the west. The cul-de-sac
pavement radius is proposed at 60-feet. This radius exceeds the current standard and will
provide greater area for semi -trucks to turnaround.
With the expected increase in traffic on West 79`h Street from deliveries to the treatment plant
and the future development of Lot 2, staff is recommending that additional signage be installed
near the existing Hanus Building just west of the site. The signage is needed because of the
existing blind approach to motorists leaving Brown's Auto and conversely to motorists heading
west from the new treatment plant.

FINDINGS OF FACT
AND RECOMMENDATION
IN RE:
Application of City of Chanhassen
Subdivision, Land Use Amendment and Site Plan Review
On April 5, 2005, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly schedule meeting to consider the
application of the City of Chanhassen for a land use amendment from Parks and Open Space to Commercial,
preliminary plat approval creating two lots and one outlot and site plan approval. The Planning Commission
conducted a public hearing on the proposed subdivision preceded by published and mailed notice. The Planning
Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak and now makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The property is currently zoned Highway and Business Services District, BH.
2. The property is guided in the Land Vse Plan for Parks and Open Space.
3. The legal description of the property is: Gateway East 2°d Addition
4. The Subdivision Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider seven possible adverse affects of
the proposed subdivision. The seven (7) affects and our findings regarding them are:
(1) The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning ordinance;
(2) The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable city, county and regional plans including but not
limited to the city's comprehensive plan;
(3) The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topography, soils, vegetation,
susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, and storm water drainage are suitable for
the proposed development;
(4) The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm drainage, sewage disposal,
streets, erosion control and all other improvements required by the subdivision ordinance;
(5) The proposed subdivision will not cause significant environmental damage since the site was previously
developed;
(6) The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record, but will provide all necessary
easements; and
(7) The proposed subdivision is not premature since it is served by adequate city infrastructure. A subdivision
is premature if any of the following exists:
a. Lack of adequate storm water drainage.
b. Lack of adequate roads.
C. Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems.
d. Lack of adequate off -site public improvements or support systems.
5. In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the
following:
1
i
(1) The development is consistent with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides,
including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may be adopted;
(2) The development is consistent with the site plan requirements;
(3) The development preserves the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing tree and
soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the general appearance of the
neighboring developed or developing or developing areas;
(4) The development is creates a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site
features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the development;
(5) The development is creates a 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;
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) The development protects 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.
6. The planning report #05-12 dated April 5, 2005, prepared by Robert Generous, et al, is incorporated
herein.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the Land Use Amendment,
Preliminary Plat for Gateway East 2°d Addition and Site Plan Review for the East Water Treatment Plant.

Dear Mr. Generous:
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has reviewed the above
referenced plat in compliance.with Minnesota Statute 505.03, subdivision 2, Plats. Before
any further development, please address the following issues:
Access Control:
Since Lot 2 will have frontage on both TH 5 and TH 101, yet will also have access to the
proposed extension of West 79t' Street, Mn/DOT would like to have Access Control
along Trunk Highway 5 and Trunk Highway 101 frontage dedicated to Mn/DOT at this
time of platting. Please direct questions regarding this issue to Lynn Clarkowski (65 1 -
634-2103), Mn/DOT's Area Engineer for Carver County.
Drainage:
With the addition of impervious surfaces to this site, a drainage permit will be
required and all Mn/DOT requirements will apply. No additional runoff to Mn/DOT
R/W will be allowed and all drainage patterns must be maintained. Please provide
the following:
1) A grading Plan of the existing & proposed project, showing topography.
2) Drainage area maps for the proposed project showing both existing and proposed
drainage areas and flows (with flow arrows).
3) Storm sewer plans and pond plans.
4) Hydraulic computations/modeling before and after proposed reconstructions (ie.,
Hydro-CADinput assumptions, calibration data, results for 10 and 100 year storm
events).
Please submit any further documentation electronically as Adobe Acrobat (.pdf), and
HydroCAD (.he) files. If plans change, you must resubmit for review. The
electronic model and pdf file can be emailed to richard.cady(a)dot.state.mn.us. Please
direct questions concerning these issues to Richard Cady (651-634-2075) of
Mn/DOT's Water Resources Engineering section.
Permits:
• Any use of or work within or affecting Mn/DOT right of way requires a permit. A
utility permit ( form 2525) and a drainage permit will be needed. Permit forms are
available from Mn/DOT's utility website at www.dot.state.mn.us/tecsup/utility .
Please direct any questions regarding permit requirements to Keith Van Wagner
(651-582-1443), or Buck Craig (651-582-1447) of Mn/DOT's Metro Permits Section.
Right of Way.
• The Right -of -Way (R/W) Section has reviewed the plans. The "Existing Mn/DOT
R/W" needs to be clearly labeled. In addition, a good site location map is requested
to be included as part of the first sheet.Please direct any questions regarding permit
requirements to John Isackson of Mn/DOT's Right-of-way Section at 651-582-1273.
Electronic Document Request:
Asa final request, could you please send an electronic .pdf file copy of your plan

Mn/DOT document submittal guidelines require three (3) complete copies of plats and
two (2) copies of other review documents including site plans. Failure to provide three
(3) copies of a plat and/or two (2) copies of other review documents will make a
submittal incomplete and delay M "T's review and response to development
proposals. We appreciate your anticipated cooperation in providing the necessary
number of copies, as this will prevent us from having to delay and/or return incomplete
submittals.
