PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The developer is requesting the rezoning of the property from Rural Residential, RR, to Single -
Family Residential, RSF. The RSF district zoning is consistent with the land use designation of the
property for Residential — Low Density (net density range 1.2 to 4.0 units per net acre) and is
compatible with the surrounding developments, which are zoned RSF district, including Highover
to the west, Brenden Pond and Woodridge Heights to the north and Ashling Meadows to the east.
To the south is Longacres, which is zoned Planned Unit Development — Residential (PUD -R).
The developer is proposing a 39 -lot single-family subdivision with variances from the subdivision
ordinance to permit eight percent street grades and the use of a private street to access Lots 11
and 12 Block 1. In conjunction with the subdivision, the developer is requesting a five-foot front
yard setback variance to permit 25 -foot front yard setbacks for Block 2. Additionally, the developer
is requesting a setback variance from the bluff to build within the 30 -foot building setback and to
grade within the bluff impact zone.
The developer's request for the wetland alteration permit is to permit the construction of the street
and to fill two isolated wetlands.
Lake Harrison is classified as a natural environment lake by both the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) and Chanhassen City Code. The Ordinary High Water (OHW) of
Lake Harrison has not yet been established by the DNR. DNR has been notified about the
proposed subdivision and a request for an OHW determination has been submitted. DNR
anticipates an OHW determination will be made in 1-2 months. The OHW determination should
be completed prior to final plat approval. All plans should illustrate Lake Harrison's OHW and a
150 -foot structure setback from the OHW. The minimum lot size for riparian lots within the
shoreland management zone is 125 feet wide with 40,000 square feet. The minimum lot size for
non -riparian lots within the shoreland management zone is 90 feet wide with 15,000 square feet.
Staff is recommending approval of the proposed development subject to the conditions of approval.
Staff does not support the approval of the variances being requested.

REZONING
The property is guided in the comprehensive plan for Residential — Low Density Uses. The
Residential — Low Density designation permits net densities of 1.2 to 4.0 units per acre. The Single
Family Residential District, RSF, is consistent with this land use category and is the typical zoning
for single-family residential developments in the City. Other zoning districts that would be
consistent with the Residential — Low Density designation include Mixed Low Density Residential
District, R4, and Planned Unit Development — Residential, PUD -R. The properties to the north, east
and west of this development are zoned RSF.
SUBDIVISION REVIEW
LANDSCAPING/TREE PRESERVATION
Tree canopy coverage and preservation calculations have been submitted for the Lake Harrison
development. (The developer has submitted an 87 -page listing of the tree survey which is
available at city hall for those interested.) They are as follows:
Total upland area ("dudiug weuands, biun, part) 33.8 ac.
Baseline canopy coverage 76% or 25.7.
Minimum canopy coverage allowed 46% or 15.5 ac.
Proposed tree preservation 29% or 9.9 ac.
Developer does not meet minimum canopy coverage allowed, therefore the difference between
the baseline and proposed tree preservation is multiplied by 1.2 to calculate the required
replacement plantings.
Difference in canopy coverage 243,936 SF or 5.6 ac.
Multiplier 1.2
Total replacement 292,723 SF
Total number of trees to be planted 269 trees
The total number of trees required for the development is 269. Applicant has proposed a total of
319 trees. There are no bufferyard requirements for this development.
As can be seen from the canopy coverage calculations, two-thirds of the existing trees are being
removed on site. The woods on this property contain a mix of quality with some areas being of
high quality with many large, native trees and excellent regeneration while others have a variety
of pioneer species such as boxelder, ash and elm and an infestation of buckthorn. The most
significant areas in terms of quality of existing trees and functionality are located in the bluff
area along the western side of the property and around the wetland on Lot 5, Block 1. A third
area that contains several significantly large oaks is on Lot 9. It is shown as being outside of the
grading limits and is proposed to be preserved. This area does have an established understory of
buckthorn.

Planning Case No. 05-14
April 19, 2005
Page 4
Concerning the 5 -foot front yard variance for Lots 1-10, Block 2, the only lots that appear to
benefit for tree preservation from the variance are Lots 3 and 5. City standards for tree clearing
on wooded lots allow for 105 feet of tree removal from the ROW back into the lot. Lots 3 and 5
show about 105 to 115 feet of clearing. All other lots, 1, 2, 4, 6-10, range in clearing limits from
115 to 140 feet while using a five-foot front variance to reduce clearing. If the applicant could
show tree preservation that meets ordinance standards, staff would support the variance, but the
grading as shown still removes more trees than the minimum standards.
WETLANDS
Existing Wetlands
Wetland determinations that occur outside the growing season leave many unanswered questions
about hydrology and vegetation that can only be addressed by conducting a wetland delineation
during the growing season. The applicant has submitted a preliminary determination on the
approximate extent and location of the wetlands on site. A wetland delineation report illustrating
wetland type, boundary and vegetation should be submitted prior to final plat approval. Areas of
the preliminary wetland determination that require further investigation include: a low area
within Lots 9 and 10, Block 3 that may satisfy the requirements for a jurisdictional wetland, and
the preliminary northern wetland boundary of Wetland C.
Wetland A is a natural, Type 7 wetland located in the northwest corner of the property. The
wetland vegetation and boundaries are undetermined at this time. The applicant is proposing to
fill wetland A for the creation of a public roadway and a stormwater pond. The estimated total
proposed impact to wetland A is 3,843 square feet (0.09 acres).
Wetland B is a natural, Type 3/5/7 wetland located in the southwest area of the property. The
wetland vegetation and boundaries are undetermined at this time. The applicant is not proposing
any modifications to wetland B.
Wetland C is a natural, Type 2/3/7 wetland located in the southeastern area of the property. The
wetland vegetation and boundaries are undetermined at this time. The applicant is proposing
three fill areas and two creation areas for wetland C. Filling activities are proposed to allow for
road construction. The estimated total proposed impact to the wetland includes 12,269 square
feet (0.28 acres) of fill at Location C-1, 1,301 square feet (0.03 acres) at location C-2 and 2,914
square feet (0.07 acres) of fill at C-3.
Wetland D is an ag/urban, Type 3 wetland located in the northeastern corner of the property.
The wetland vegetation and boundaries are undetermined at this time. The applicant is not
proposing impacts to wetland D.
Wetland E is a natural, Type 2/3/7 wetland located in the north -central area of the property. The
wetland vegetation and boundaries are undetermined at this time. The applicant is proposing two
filling activities for the construction of public streets. The total proposed impacts to wetland E
include 9,145 square feet (0.19 acres) at location E-1, and 2,950 square feet (0.07 acres) at
location E-2.

Planning Case No. 05-14
April 19, 2005
Page 5
Wetland F is a natural, Type 3 wetland located in the central portion of the property. The
wetland vegetation and boundaries are undetermined at this time. The applicant is proposing to
fill the entire wetland for an estimated total of 5,665 square feet (0.13 acres) to accommodate
additional housing pads.
Wetland G is a natural, Type 3 wetland located in the west central part of the property. The
wetland vegetation and boundaries are undetermined at this time. The applicant is proposing to
fill the entire wetland for an estimated total of 13,331 square feet (0.31 acres) to accommodate
additional housing pads.
Wetland H is a natural, Type 3 wetland located in the north central part of the property. The
wetland vegetation and boundaries are undetermined at this time. The applicant is not proposing
any impacts to wetland H.
Wetland Replacement
The applicant must submit a Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) application illustrating two
alternatives that demonstrate proposed plans were sequenced in the following order of decreasing
preference: 1) Avoidance of wetland impact, 2) Minimization of wetland impacts, 3) Rectification
of wetland impacts and 4) Mitigation of wetland impacts. The applicant should not impact
basins A, G and F until it is demonstrated that these impacts have met the above sequencing
requirements. Wetland replacement must occur in a manner consistent with the Minnesota
Wetland Conservation Act (MR 8420). The plans should show fixed photo monitoring points for
the replacement wetlands. A five-year wetland replacement monitoring plan should be
submitted yearly beginning one growing season after the wetland is created. The applicant
should provide proof of recording a Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for Replacement
Wetland. The applicant shall secure City approval of a wetland replacement plan prior to any
wetland impacts occurring.
Total wetland filling activities for the proposed project includes 51,418 square feet (1.18 acres)
of wetland fill. Total proposed New Wetland Credit (NWC) of 16,019 square feet (0.37 acres) is
proposed. Total proposed Public Value Credit (PVC) is 17,800 square feet (0.41 acres). Current
proposed plans have not satisfied the minimum replacement requirements of replacing impacted
wetlands at a 2:1 ratio. All impacts, including the filling of wetlands and conversion of wetlands
into stormwater pond, must be mitigated with the proposed project. Applicant must demonstrate
and document how replacement will be satisfied to ensure the 2:1 replacement ratio for all
impacted wetlands. Currently, the proposed replacement plan is deficient 69,017 square feet
(1.58 acres) of wetland mitigation.
A wetland buffer minimum of 20 feet must be maintained around wetlands A, B, C, E, F, and H
must be maintained around the wetlands. A minimum wetland buffer of 16.5 feet must be
maintained around wetland D and any mitigation areas. Buffers to be considered for PVC must
be a minimum of 16.5 feet. Wetland buffer areas should be preserved, surveyed and staked in
accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. The applicant must install wetland buffer edge

signs, under the direction of City staff before construction begins and must pay the City $20 per
sign.
Building setbacks of 40 feet from the wetland buffer strips must be maintained for all proposed
building pads. Lot 3, Block 3 and Lot 11, Block 3 should be revised to meet building setback
requirements.
Lots 11-15, Block 3 and Lot 10, Block 2 should be revised to incorporate all of wetland B into
Outlot C.
LAKES
The proposed project is within 1,000 feet of Lake Harrison and therefore within the lake's
Shoreland Management District. Lake Harrison is classified as a natural environment lake by
both the DNR and Chanhassen City Code. The OHW of Lake Harrison has not yet been
established by the DNR. DNR has been notified about the proposed subdivision and a request
for an OHW determination has been submitted. DNR anticipates an OHW determination will be
made in 1-2 months. The OHW determination should be completed prior to final plat approval.
All plans should illustrate Lake Harrison's OHW and a 150 -foot structure setback from the
OHW. The minimum lot size for non -riparian lots within the shoreland management zone is 90
feet wide with 15,000 square feet. The minimum lot size for riparian lots within the shoreland
management zone is 125 feet wide with 40,000 square feet.
I tom/ iM&i
One area on the property has been identified as a bluff (i.e., slope greater than or equal to 30%
and a rise in slope of at least 25 feet above the toe). This area must be preserved. In addition, all
structures must maintain a 30 -foot setback from the bluff and no grading may occur within the
bluff impact zone (i.e., the bluff and land located within 20 feet from the top of the bluff).
The applicant has located two lots on the western bluff and is requesting variances to build
homes on Lots 11 and 12. Staff strongly recommends denial of the variances. Construction
activities, location of structures and future use of the area by the property owners will have
lasting, detrimental effects on the bluff and the wetland, Lake Harrison below. It is in the best
interest of the public good that the bluff be preserved as required by ordinance to protect the
environmental and water quality of the site.
PARKS AND RECREATION
Comprehensive Park Plan
The proposed Lake Harrison development is located within an area that is outside the municipal
park service boundaries of Pheasant Hill Park, Herman Field Park and Sugarbush Park. The
Parks and Recreation Commission will be reviewing the proposed development on April 26,
2005 to make a recommendation regarding including a public park in the development.
Lake Harrison
Planning Case No. 05-14
April 19, 2005
Page 7
However, due to the alignment of the road which cuts in to the upland portion of Outlot A, and
the inclusion of a water treatment plant, the area for a public park is minimized.
If the land is not dedicated for park purposes, then the development shall pay full park fees in
force at the time of final plat approval. Parks fees for 2005 are $4,000.00 for each new single-
family lot.
Comprehensive Trail Plan
The site does not contain any portion of the City's trail plan. A sidewalk or trail connection to
the trails in Galpin Boulevard and Lake Lucy Road is proposed as part of the development.
GRADING. DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL
The existing site is about 62 acres in size and contains eight existing wetlands. The site also
contains groves of significant trees, along with an existing homesite which will remain. Site
elevations range from a high of 1084 in the southwest to a low of 970 in the southeast.
The applicant is proposing to grade about 50% of the site for 39 new housepads, three public
streets, a private street, and three stormwater ponds. With the vast amount of vertical site relief
previously mentioned, the property is a challenging one to grade. There are a few areas of
concern with the grading that staff would like to mention. The proposed grading for Lots 4-6,
Block 3 needs to be revised to prevent the garage elevation of Lot 4 from being lower than the
street. Additionally, the garage elevations of Lots 5 and 6 need to be at least 1.5 feet higher than
the emergency overflow for the street. Next, there are a few locations where the proposed street
grades are slightly higher (approximately 8%) than the maximum street grade allowed of 7%.
Staff believes that with a few minor street elevation changes (±1), the street grades can be easily
revised to meet the 7% requirement. These revisions will not severely impact the wooded areas
on the site. As such, staff is not in favor of the street grade variance. Finally, the grading for
Lots 11 and 12, Block 1 needs to be revised. The proposal includes a private street to access
Lots 11 and 12 with retaining walls along each side. The private street is being "cut -in" through
an existing bluff area and the retaining walls are proposed to "hold back" the earth on each side
of the street. This provides a tunnel -like access to Lot 12. Usually, when private streets are
proposed, the grading is minimized versus the grading required for a public street. Staff does not
believe this is the case with the current proposal. In conclusion, because there is no public street
option shown, there is proposed grading in the bluff, and proposed retaining wall structures
within the bluff structure setback, staff is recommending that Lot 12 be deleted and the
southwest property corner be preserved.
The existing site drains to three main wetlands within the southwest, central, and northeast
portions of the site. The proposed grading plan has been designed to match the existing drainage
patterns fairly well. The western half of the developed site drains to a proposed pond in the
northwest corner of the site. The remainder of the eastern portion of the site will drain to a pond
in the northeast corner of the site. Each of the ponds will treat the water before discharging it to
a adjacent wetlands. All of the ponds are required to be designed to National Urban Runoff
Program (NURP) standards with maximum 3:1 slopes and a 10:1 bench at the NWL.

lot.
5. Lot 12, Block 3, contains a swimming pool and shall not be platted as a separate lot n until
the pool is removed or the platting of the lot is concurrent with an application for a building
permit for a principal dwelling on the lot.
6. Prior to final plat approval, the developer shall verify that acceptable building pads can be

SUBJECT: Lake Harrison
DATE: March 17, 2005
We are pleased to present to you a proposal for a new neighborhood of single family detached
custom homes on the Jerome and Linda Carlson property.
BACKGROUND:
The Carlson Property is located at 6950 Galpin Boulevard. The owners of the property are long
time Chanhassen residents. Mr. Carlson was one of the co-founders of Instant Web, Victory
Envelope, and United Mailing. He has been very active in the Chanhassen community for many
years including service as President and Board Member of the Chanhassen Chamber of Commerce.
The property has many outstanding natural features. Through the years, the Carlson's have
developed trails and have created a sanctuary feeling on this unique property. Its dominant feature
is the large wetland area that meanders from Galpin Boulevard to Lake Lucy Road. A vintage 1918
windmill occupies the old farmstead site and can be seen from Galpin Boulevard. The Carlsons
constructed a beautiful soft contemporary home and swimming Doul that occupies a rise
overlooking Lake Harrison. This home, pool, and windmill will remain as prominent features of the
property.
SITE DATA:
1. Total site - 62.0 Acres
2. 39 Homesites Planned
3. Gross Density - .63 Homes Per Acre
4. Wetland Component — 20.9 Acres (Preliminary — to be verified in Spring)
SITE VISITATION:
Prior to the thorough site analysis conducted on this site to include a boundary survey, tree survey,
topographical analysis, and studies co i&,cted by wetland scientists, numerous members ofth-,--.x
Chanhassen City Staff were invited to tour the property to insure all elements necessary to prepare
this premiere property were factored into the planning process.
CITY ANALYSIS:
The City identified a need on this site for a neighborhood park as well as a strong need for a water
treatment facility. The City will present to the residents the needs analysis and function of these
two components at independent meetings. Plans for 10 single-family lots in the vicinity of these
two uses have been removed from the original concept plans on the east end of the property abutting
Galpin Boulevard.

NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS:
As in keeping with the long history of our company, a neighborhood meeting was conducted on
March 10, 2005 at the Chanhassen Recreational Center. The concerns of the neighbors focused on
protecting the natural resources of this site, trees, traffic, size and location of the park and water
facility, and architectural diversity.
TREES:
Pemtom has a long history of employing landscape architects early in the site analysis process to
plan roads, utilities, and homesites. Tree preservation will be of ultimate concern. Where possible,
retaining walls will be used to control slopes and save additional trees. A generous landscape plan
will be implemented in the design process.
TRAFFIC:
To limit traffic in the Highover neighborhood, a ten lot cul-de-sac will be added to the planned thru
road off Highover and only two lots are planned off a private street which will greatly limit traffic
in Highover. Both Lake Lucy Road and Galpin Boulevard are collector roads serving this site and
at the suggestion of the neighborhood and the Chanhassen City Staff, Lake Harrison Road will be
extended through the entire neighborhood to mitigate traffic going predominantly in one direction.
PARK AND WATER TREATMENT FACILITY:
All items of neivhhnrhood concern with this item were deferred to the Chanhassen City Staff.
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROLS AND FEATURES:
A Declaration of Covenants will be contained in the final documents that will control house sizes
and incorporate custom designs on the elevations of every home. Innovative streetlights,
landscaping plans, and uniform mailboxes will be mandatory.
ARCHITECTURAL DIVERSITY:
In addition to the architectural control documents employed by the developer, we agree to study the
documents of Highover to insure strong home and architectural diversity on the site.
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE:
Cn an effort to preserve the "sanctuary" like character of the property, approximately 30 acres of the
project will be dedicated to the public in the form of outlots for parks and open space, as well as
right-of-way for roads and sidewalks. In addition, we hope to carry this feeling over to the residents
by way of conservation covenants covering everything from wetlands to natural grass buffers. Over
fifty per cent of this new neighborhood will remain as open space.
WETLANDS:
There is an extensive amount of wetlands on the site and wetland impacts on site are inevitable.
The plan was designed to be sympathetic to the wetlands and minimize impacts as much as
possible. We are requesting waivers for reduced wetland buffers and setbacks in some portions of
the site. It is possible to mitigate for all the wetland removal on site, but it is very destructive to the
existing trees and we would like to explore the option of off site mitigation for this site.

We are pleased to present to you a proposal for a new neighborhood of single family detached
custom homes on the Jerome and Linda Carlson property.
BACKGROUND:
The Carlson Property is located south of Highway 5 approximately one mile North on Galpin
Boulevard to 6950 Galpin Boulevard. The Western property line runs along the Eastern portion of
the Highover neighborhood and essentially follows the power line easement to Lake Lucy Road.
The Northern property line extends from the Highover neighborhood east to the existing homes
along Lake Lucy road and borders homes on the south side of Manchester Drive and Briarwood
Court.
The owners of the property are long time Chanhassen residents. Mr. Carlson was one of the co-
founders of the Instant Web printing company and his other companies included Victory Envelope
and United Mailing. He has been very active in the Chanhassen community for many years
including service as President and Board Member of the Chanhassen Chamber of Commerce.
The property has many unique natural features. Through the years, the Carlson's have developed

wetland area that essentially runs from Galpin Boulevard to Lake Lucy road. The vintage 1918
windmill can be seen from Galpin Boulevard.
SITE DATA:
1. Total site consists of 62.0 acres
2. Gross density is .76 homes per acre.
3. 47 luxury single family home sites including the preservation of a spectacular soft
contemporary home with a swimming pool.
4. Total wetland area is 20.9 acres
5. BI-.:-'; area is 2.3 acres.
SITE VISITATION:
We are thankful that a number of the City Staff members have visited the site, to include Kate
Aanenson Community Development Director, Bob Generous Senior Planner, Lori Haak Water
Resources Coordinator, Paul Oehme Public Works Director and City Engineer, Matt Saam
Assistant City Engineer, Todd Hoffman Park and Recreation Director, Mak Sweidan, Engineer, and
Jill Sinclair Environmental Resources Coordinator. The input from the staff has helped immensely
in evaluating this submission. I strongly recommend that other staff members, members of the City
Council, and Planning Commission members visit the site. I would be happy to accompany any
member on a site tour.

INFORMATIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING:
We have an informational meeting scheduled for March 10, 2005. The purpose of the meeting will
be to inform the neighborhoods in the vicinity of our planned development, address concerns and
receive input from the neighbors. It is also our objective to preserve the unique nature of the
property and bring value to the existing neighbors.
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROLS AND FEATURES:
A Declaration of Covenants will be contained in the final documents that will control house sizes
and incorporate custom designs on the elevations of every home. Innovative traditional streetlights,
landscaping plans, and uniform mailboxes will be mandatory.
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE:
In an effort to preserve the "sanctuary" like character of the property, approximately 30 acres of the
project will be dedicated to the public in the form of outlots for parks and open space, as well as
right-of-way for roads and sidewalks. In addition, we hope to carry this feeling over to the residents
by way of conservation covenants covering everything from wetlands to natural grass buffers. We
hope to do something very special for the lots located along the bluffs. When all is said and done,
over half of the project will be turned over to the preservation effort.
ADDTTIONAL COMPONENT:
The city has expressed a need for a water treatment facility in a location that would work with and
service the existing wells and infrastructure that the city has in place. Pemtom has made a
commitment to work with the City of Chanhassen to help solve this vital issue. Unfortunately, the
best location for this facility is at the striking natural main entrance to this premiere development.
The City Staff and Pemtom have worked out a possible solution for this issue. Pemtom has
acquired a lot on Lake Lucy Road near Well House number 7. This would now become the
prominent entrance to our development. Pemtom would lose the entrance off Galpin and provide
the City 7.4 acres of land for a combined park and water treatment facility at the Galpin entrance.
The City will provide Pemtom with building architecture for the treatment facility and screening
that least impedes the adjacent neighbors.
Pemtom provides a tangible benefit to the City of Chanhassen and the residents with the location of
this water treatment facility. The facility will provide noticeable improvements in the aesthetics of
the water quality to include the removal of iron, magnesium and odor from the existing city weter.
Also, because of the location of this site, it will save the City of Chanhassen money for transmission
lines and the city will be able to use existing infrastructure.
WETLANDS:
There is an extensive amount of wetlands on the site and wetland impacts on site are inevitable.
The plan was designed to be sympathetic to the wetlands and minimize impacts as much as
possible. We are requesting waivers for reduced wetland buffers and setbacks in some portions of

City Council Meeting — May 9, 2005
conservation easements on or 62% of the site will be actually either dedicated to the city or have
easements on it... It's a magnificent plan on a great site and our goal is to create one of the
finest neighborhoods here in Chanhassen, and I think the letters that you're going to be
addressing tonight and public comments make it sound like we're pushing the envelope and
trying to do this for economic reasons, and as you can see as I walked you through, all the lot
plans we have here, we have diminished our density here substantially. All the variances we're
requesting tonight in effect actually enhance the site. Trees, drainage, etc. When it's all done, I
think you're going to have a great neighborhood here. Any questions?
Mayor Furlong: Thank you, questions for the applicant. Perhaps just for my help and for people
in the audience here and those watching, and whether Mr. Herbst this is a question for you or
Ms. Aanenson, since the Planning Commission met, approved it with various conditions, what
sort of changes have we seen? One of them for example, with regard to the length of the private
driveway. The private street has been moved back to 11. I think on the pictures that's no longer
a round turn around.
Kate Aanenson: Correct.
Mayor Furlong: Maybe you can just quickly walk through some of those changes so if people
were at the Planning Commission, or watched there, they can see some of the evolution that's
taken place.
Kate Aanenson: This is the old one. Originally this was a cul-de-sac located up in here. This is
a 30 foot right-of-way as per city code, and the rest of it is a driveway. So that's a big, the
biggest change. There was a cul-de-sac up in this area that impacted so it's outside of the bluff.
It is, this portion is in the bluff impact zone, but again that's a driveway to the one lot.
Mayor Furlong: And is that, in terms of turning around, in case delivery trucks or other vehicles
come down, how does that take place?
Kate Aanenson: That would be taken care of right here. Right, otherwise anybody else going to
this home would turn around in that person's driveway but that would be the common portion at
that point.
Mayor Furlong: So where's the driveway? Where would be the proposed driveway for Lot 11?
Kate Aanenson: The driveway?
Mayor Furlong: Yeah.
Kate Aanenson: It could come off this one or that one. Depending on the home placement. I
just wanted to show the difference between that and the original just to be clear. If you could
maybe zoom in on that one. This one had a cul-de-sac quite a ways up so that we believe
mitigated those impacts. The need for a retaining wall, and that is shown on, I know it's on here.
Did I skip it? Where is the cross section with the retaining wall? Did I miss it? This one, I'm
sorry. So I scaled it. About 160 feet, 150 feet between the houses on Highover and the closest
14
City Council Meeting — May 9, 2005
lot. Approximately. This is between the houses. So this is the area we're talking in here would
be where that private drive, would be the retaining wall. That slight portion where we're in this
area. So that's the change.
Councilman Labatt: Kate, coming down off of Highover, in that 30 foot, not there. As I'm
looking at the TV, that way. To the left. Other side.
Kate Aanenson: Oh, that left.
Councilman Labatt: There. That stretch there. Now that's a public road?
Kate Aanenson: This is, this is what the request for the variance is a private drive, which is
required to be 30 feet, which this is. This portion of the plat, and the rest of it is a driveway. So
this is the portion that's serving more than one lot, and that was the variance request, and again
the staff's position on that was, the staff believes this is a buildable lot. 'Originally the developer
wanted to get variances on it. We believe it can be met without variances, and if the variances
want to come in, we want to see a specific home plan at a future date. Not something
speculative. That may not meet somebody's needs, so the staff recommended against that, as did
the Planning Commission but they did support a variance for the street. ...a driveway, additional
driveway to come off so it's just the two homes. And again, to go back to your question on the
Paulsen, we believe this meets the code.
Councilman Lundquist: Dan, you've already got the drawings for that house on Lot 12 because
you're building it right?
Kate Aanenson: So that was the one biggest change. And the other one, if I can just go through
those slides again, the other biggest change which was hard to understand at the Planning
Commission level was the impact of those 7% grades. There's 2 or 3 areas that exceeded the 7%
and our recommendation is to only give those, if there's a reason for the impact to the trees. And
while we had a very technical explanation, I think it was.
Mayor Furlong: Second derivative is positive.
Kate Aanenson: I think a picture's worth a thousand words, so they actually try to do it in a
picture format, and as I showed on that Lot 7, which is the Ifighover connection. The impact
would be actually 70, 54 feet of additional tree loss because you actually have to make, blend
that dirt down in to make that work. To get to the 7%.
Mayor Furlong: So you're saying by allowing to have an 8% grade versus 7% grade.
Kate Aanenson: In that section, correct.
Mayor Furlong: In that particular section, it's 54 feet of reduced grading and that's what they
would use as part of the condition.

Planning Case #05-14
October 7, 2009
Lot configuration:
Originally, lots were proposed being platted to the south property line, which included portions
of Lake Harrison. These lots include lots 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14, Block 3, of the preliminary plat,
plans prepared by Westwood Professional Services, dated march 18, 2009.
"Riparian lot means any lot abutting the Ordinary High Water mark of a lake, pond or wetland."
Riparian lots on natural environmental lakes are required to have 40,000 square feet of lot area
and 125 feet of lot width. Non -riparian lots are required to have 15,000 square feet of lot area
and 90 feet of width. The City had received a variance from the DNR standards as part of the
adoption of the Shoreland Management District to have these lot areas rather than the 20,000
square foot guideline under the DNR standard for lots within 1,000 feet of a lake.
The following was included in a letter to Dan Herbst from Robert Generous dated April 11,
2005:
➢ Lake Harrison is classified as a natural environmental lake. Required lot areas are 40,000
square feet with minimum lot widths of 125 feet. Only the upland area for lots 10
through 14, Block 3, can be included in the lot area. At a minimum, one lot would be
eliminated. However, platting of the lake and some upland buffer adjacent to the lake in
an Outlot would eliminate the riparian lot requirements.
It appears that approximately 10 lots were lost due to the location of the water treatment site and
neighborhood park. Adding this to the 39 residential lots approved, 49 lots appear feasible.
Additional lots beyond that number would be dependent on their configuration, due primarily to
the bluffs and wetlands located on the property.
Approvals:
May 9, 2005, City Council approves:
The Rezoning of the property from RR, Rural Residential, to RSF, Single Family Residential
District based on the findings of fact attached to the staff report."
Preliminary plat (Subdivision) to create 40 single-family lots, four outlots and public right-
of-way with of a variance for a private street and street grade, prepared by Westwood
Professional Services, Inc. dated 03/18/05. (The 40 lots include one lot for the water
treatment plant.)
The front yard variance for Block 2 and denied the bluff setback variances.
The wetland alteration permit to fill and alter wetlands on site
On July 12, 2005, the Chanhassen City Council approved the Final Plat for Lake Harrison
creating 39 lots, 6 outlots and associated right-of-way for public streets (plans prepared by
Westwood Professional Services, Inc., dated June 20, 2005) with a variance for a private street
and street grade.

RE: Proposed LAKE HARRISON Subdivision — CASE No. 05-14
Dear Mayor Furlong and Chanhassen City Council Members,
We would like to express our concerns about violations of Chanhassen City Ordinances, the negative
impact on our properties, and the inconsistencies in the plat approval process created by the proposed
5/4/2005
PROPOSED LAKE HARRISON SUBDIVISION - PLANNING CASE NO. 05-14 Page 2 of 6
Lake Harrison Development - PC Case No. 05-14.
Our concerns and objections are as follows:
1. The bluff setback variances for Lot 11, Block 1 and Lot 12, Block 1 were denied by the Planning
Commission at the meeting on April 19, 2005. However, the Planning Commission minutes from the
April 19, 2005 meeting state "The private street cul-de-sac shall be moved back from Lot 12, Block 1 to
Lot 11, Block 1 ". This is not possible since construction of the private street requires grading and
damage to the bluff impact zone on Lot 11, Block 1. Private street and private street cul-de-sac
construction on Lot 11, Block 1 will be in violation of Chanhassen City Ordinances 20-484 (b) and
20-1401 (a).
Sec. 20-484. Placement and design of roads, driveways, and parking areas.
(b) Roads, driveways, and parking areas shall meet structure setbacks and shall not be placed within bluff and shore
impact zones, 10906WIMMMMe and feasible placement altemah'Sei". If no alternatives exist, they may be placed
within these areas, and shall be designed to minimize adverse impacts.
Sec. 20-1401. Structure setbacks.
(a) Structures, including, but not limited to, principal buildings, decks, and accessory buildings, except stairways and
landings, are prohibited on the bluff and must be set back from the top of the bluff, the toe of the bluff, and the side of a bluff
at least 30 feet.
2. The use of a private street in this situation will not permit enhanced protection of the city's natural
resources including wetlands and protected (bluffs) areas. The Staff Report prepared for the April 19,
2005 Planning Commission meeting stated: "Finally, the grading for Lots 11 and 12, Block I needs to
be revised. The proposal includes a private street to access Lots 11 and 12 with retaining walls along
each side. The private street is being "cut -in" through an existing bluff area and the retaining walls are
proposed to "hold back" the earth on each side of the street. This provides a tunnel -like access to Lot 12.
Usually, when private streets are proposed, the grading is minimized versus the grading required for a
public street. Staff does not believe this is the case with the current proposal." Considering these
facts, the construction of the private street is in violation of Chanhassen City Ordinance 18-57 (r).
(3).
See. 18-57. Streets.
(r) Private streets serving up to four lots may be permitted in the A2, RR, RSF and R4 if the criteria in variance section
18-22 are met and upon consideration of the following:
(3) The use of a private street will permit enhanced protection of the city's natural resources, including wetlands
and protected areas.
3. The construction of the private street creates a double frontage lot situation for lots 1, 13, and 14,
Block 3 in the Highover subdivision. This violates Chanhassen City Ordinance, Section 18-60 (g).
Sec. 18-60. Lots.
(g) Double frontage lots with frontage on two parallel streets or reverse frontage shall not be permitted except where lots
back on an arterial or collector street. Such lots shall have an additional depth of at least ten feet to accommodate vegetative
screening along the back lot line. Wherever possible, structures on double frontage lots should face the front of existing
5/4/2005
PROPOSED LAKE HARRISON SUBDIVISION - PLANNING CASE NO. 05-14
Page 3 of 6
structures across the street. If this cannot be achieved, then such lots shall have an additional depth of ten feet to
accommodate vegetation screening along the back lot line.
4. The private street variance may allow development and home construction on Lots 11 and 12,
Block 1. This creates a very unusual and detrimental neighborhood where the front yards in Lake
Harrison Development directly abut to the back yards of residents in Highover across the electrical
transmission line easement. Effective barriers cannot be considered due to the electrical transmission
line easement and the bluff impact zone. Development of Lots 11 and 12, Block 1 will significantly
diminish the property values of homes in Highover and Longacres adjacent to the proposed private street
and Lots 11 and 12, Block 1. This is in violation of Chanhassen City Ordinance 20-58 (6).
Sec. 20-58. General conditions for granting.
A variance may be granted by the board of appeals and adjustments or city council only if all of the following criteria are
met:
(6) That the proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially
increase the congestion of the public streets or decrease visibility or site distances, or increases the danger of fire, or endanger
the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.
5. The improperly proposed and documented private street variance is not in accordance with city
code and should not have been approved. The sole reason for constructing the private street is based
upon the desire of the applicant, Pemtom Land Company, to increase the value and income potential of
the parcel of land. The construction of the private street is detrimental to the adjacent
homeowners. This is in violation of Chanhassen City Ordinance 20-58 (3). During the Planning
Commission Meeting on April 19, 2005, the applicant commented that the Lake Harrison Development
may not befinancially viable without Lots 11 and 12, Block 1.
Sec. 20-58. General conditions for granting.
A variance may be granted by the board of appeals and adjustments or city council only if all of the following criteria are
met:
(3) That the purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of
land.
We respectfully request that the City Council votes to prohibit the construction of a private street off of
Highover Trail and prohibit any development, grading, tree removal, or construction of homes on Lot
11, Block 1 and Lot 12, Block 1. We also request that these conditions and restrictions be clearly
documented in the final plat approval for the Lake Harrison Subdivision. We make these requests in
accordance with the requirements of Chanhassen City Ordinances.
We believe that the application submitted by Pemtom Land Company was incomplete, did not consider
all the important facts, and was not evaluated in the proper detail before being sent to City Council for
approval. Some of the significant issues include:
5/4/2005
PROPOSED LAKE HARRISON SUBDIVISION - PLANNING CASE NO. 05-14 Page 4 of 6
Violations and misinterpretations of Chanhassen City Ordinances
2. Variances improperly documented, proposed, & approved
3. Public notice was not properly documented or communicated concerning a variance for
construction of a private street connecting Lots 11 & 12, Block 1 to Highover Trail. The private street
variance was not included in the public notice printed in the Chanhassen Villager on April 7, 2005. The
private street variance was not included or mentioned in the Staff Report for the April 19, 2005 Planning
Commission meeting.
4. Lack of information needed for important decision-making concerning wetlands and lot
delineations: the DNR Ordinary High Water (OHW) of Lake Harrison has not been determined and will
not be available for 1-2 months.
5. The current, proposed plans have not satisfied the minimum replacement requirements of replacing
impacted wetlands at a 2: 1 ratio. The applicant is required to demonstrate and document how
replacement will be satisfied to ensure the 2: 1 replacement ratio for all impacted wetlands. Currently,
the proposed replacement plan is deficient 69,017 square feet (1.58 acres) of wetland mitigation.
6. The environmental impacts of the Lake Harrison Development and the opinions of the City Staff
were not properly reviewed and discussed. The Staff Report raised serious environmental issues that
were not addressed at the Planning Commission meeting on April 19, 2005. On page 5 of the Staff
Report for Case No. 05-14 under "BLUFFS" it is stated: "The applicant has located two lots on the
western bluff and is requesting variances to build homes on Lots II and 12. Staff strongly recommends
denial of the variances. Construction activities, location of structures and future use of the area by the
property owners will have lasting, detrimental effects on the bluff and the wetland, Lake Harrison
below. It is in the best interest of the public good that the bluff be preserved as required by ordinance to
protect the environmental and water quality of the site. " Although the variance was denied, the
applicant is still planning to develop Lots 11 and 12, Block 1.
7. The Compliance table on page 13 of the Staff Report shows a setback variance required for both
lots 11 and 12, Block 1. The variances for Lots 11 and 12, Block 1 have been denied, but the Planning
Commission Meeting minutes of April 19, 2005 recommend construction of the private street and cul-
de-sac on Lot 11, Block 1. This is confusing, not allowed without a variance, and could be interpreted
to mean the variance was granted for Lot 11, Block 1.
8. The applicant officially requested approval for 39 lots. The Planning Commission Meeting
Minutes from April 19, 2005 documented the approval of 40 lots.
9. Incomplete or deficient applications should not be scheduled for a Planning Commission Meeting.
Refer to City Ordinance 20-109.

10. The applicant is proposing to entirely fill two Type 3 wetland areas (Wetland F and Wetland G) to
accommodate additional housing pads. This proposal and insensitive approach to wetland encroachment
is unnecessary and based entirely on economic considerations. A feasible and prudent alternative
certainly exists to avoid the proposed wetland impacts. Refer to Minnesota Rules 8420.0520 Subpart 3.
C. (4) (e).
8420.0520 SEQUENCING.
Subp. 3. Determination of impact avoidance.
C. Alternatives analysis:
(4) The local government unit shall consider the following in evaluating alternatives as applicable:
(e) the physical, economic, and demographic requirements of the project. Economic
considerations alone do not make an alternative not feasible and prudent.
Due to the unusual number of neighborhood concerns, the significant inconsistencies, and the
incomplete application submitted by the applicant, this matter may need to be referred back to the
Planning Commission for the proper review, scrutiny, and input from Chanhassen residents.
Thank you.

The Board of Managers of the Riley -Purgatory -Bluff Creek Watershed District has reviewed the plans
and grading and land alteration permit application as submitted to the District for the Lake Harrison
development in Chanhassen. The project proposes 43,548 square feet of wetland impact. In accordance
with the 1991 Wetland Conservation Act requirements, replacement required, 2:1, is 87,096 square feet.
The project proposes to replace onsite with a total of 88,338 square feet, thereby meeting the requirements
of the Conservation Act. The city of Chanhassen is the LGU administering the requirements of the 1991
Wetland Conservation Act.
The Managers approve of the grading and land alteration permit subject to the following conditions:
I. All conditions as outlined in the attached General Provisions are applicable.
2. In accordance with the District's steep slope ordinance, runoff from the rear yard areas with a
slope of 3:1 or greater must be conveyed back to the front yard areas and/or be "picked up" and
conveyed by rear yard storm sewer, thereby minimizing flow down the steep rear yard areas. The
design of the rear yard conveyance systems must be submitted to the District's engineering
advisor for review and approval.
If you have any questions regarding the conditions of the District's permit, please call us at
952-832-2600.

the State of Minnesota with an approved fence. Also, it will require a building permit from the
Building Department.
32. Prior to final platting, storm sewer design data and full size map will need to be submitted for
staff review. Depending on the size of the drainage area, additional catch basins may be
required at that time. The storm sewer will have to be designed for a 10 -year, 24-hour storm
event. Drainage and utility easements will need to be dedicated on the final plat over the public
storm drainage system including ponds, drainage swales, emergency overflows, access routes
for maintenance, and wetlands up to the 100 -year flood level. The minimum easement width
Mr. Daniel J. Herbst
Lake Harrison
July 12, 2005
Page 6
shall be 20 feet wide. Emergency overflows from all stormwater ponds will also he required on
the construction plans.
33. Erosion control measures and site restoration must be developed in accordance with the City's
Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Staff recommends that the City's Type 11
erosion control fence, which is a heavy-duty silt fence, be used for the area adjacent to the
existing wetlands. Type I silt fence shall be used in all other areas. In addition, tree
preservation fencing must be installed at the limits of tree removal. Erosion control blankets are
recommended for all of the steep 3:1 slopes with an elevation change of eight feet or more. All
disturbed areas, as a result of construction, must be seeded and mulched or sodded immediately
after grading to minimize erosion.
34. All of the utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's
latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. The applicant is also required to
enter into a development contract with the City and supply the necessary financial security in
the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee installation of the improvements and
the conditions of final plat approval. The applicant must be aware that all public utility
improvements will require a preconstruction meeting before building permit issuance.
35. The sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will be applicable for each of the new lots. The
2005 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 for sanitary sewer and $2,955 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 and are due at the time of building permit issuance.
36. The applicant shall include a drain file system behind the curbs to convey sump pump discharge
from homes not adjacent to ponds. Remove the proposed curb along the north side of the right
turn land on Galpin Boulevard.
37. Maximum 3:1 side slopes are allowed without the use of a retaining wall, revise the plan
accordingly.
38. Minimum 40 -foot wide public drainage and utility easements will be required between Lots 4
and 5, Block 1, and along the west side of Lots 10 and 11, Block 1.
39. On the grading plan:
a. Show 12 foot spacing between any two parallel retaining walls over 4 -foot in height.
b. Add a note to remove all existing approaches.
c. Show the EOF for the easterly cul-de-sac and the garage elevations of all Lots adjacent to it
need to be at least 1.5 feet higher than the emergency overflow for the street.
40. On the utility plan:
a. Relocate the proposed 12 inch pvc raw water main away from the retaining wall by at least
10 feet along the private street.
Mr. Daniel J. Herbst

d. Add note: any connection to existing structure must be core drilled.
e. Water service must be 1 -inch copper type K.
f. The watermain must be looped through to Manchester Drive versus Galpin Boulevard.
41. Staff is recommending that a raw water transmission main be extended through the site for
future connection to the City's second water treatment plant. The construction cost for the raw
watermain will be paid by the City from the water portion of the Utility Fund. The developer
will be required to provide public drainage and utility easements over the transmission main and
to install the pipe as a part of the utility construction.
42. Since the applicant is now proposing more units (38) than what the property has been assessed
for, the additional 37 units (38-1=37) will be charged a sanitary sewer and watermain lateral
connection charge. These charges are due at the time of final plat recording.
43. As with past developments that access off of Galpin Boulevard, a right -turn lane into the site
will be required to be constructed The tum lane must meet Carver County design requirements.
44. A 10 -foot clear space must be maintained around fire hydrants, i.e. street lamps, trees, shrubs,
bushes, Xcel Energy, Qwest, Cable TV and transformer boxes. This is to ensure that hydrants

RE: LAKE HARRISON DEVELOPMENT
Soren M. Mattick
Brendan J. Flaherty
Dear Ms. Paulsen:
Marguerite M. McCarron
Gina M. Brandt
Mayor Furlong has asked me to respond to your May 9, 2005 e-mail to the Mayor and City
• At" Ginned in Wisconsin
Council concerning the Lake Harrison development. The eight issues raised in your e-mail
and the City's responses follow:
ISSUE NO. 1
The Planning Commission report stated the OHW was not available for 1 to 2 months. The
OHW for Lake Harrison is listed as 945.2 elevation in chapter 20-479(c)(1).
Response: The City Code has the wrong elevation cited for Lake Harrison. In reviewing the
development, staff was informed that the DNR had not established an OHW for Lake
Harrison. The DNR sent their staff out to determine this elevation in May 2005. The DNR
has established the correct elevation as 993.6.
ISSUE NO.2
The private street requires a fire marshal to grant approval and give a safety report (this is
missing), chapter 18-57.
Response: Section 18-57(Ox3XI) provides that private streets shall "provide a turnaround
area acceptable to the Fire Marshal ...." The street was reviewed and approved by the Fire
Marshal.
ISSUE NO.3
The private street is not a driveway, chapter 1, driveway definition.
Response: City Code Section 1-2 defines a private street as follows: "Street, private means a
1380 Corporate Center Curve
street serving as vehicular access to two or more parcels of land which is not dedicated to the
Suite 317 • Eagan, MN 55121
public but is owned by one or more private parties."
651-452-5000
Fax 651-452-5550
City Code Section 1-2 defines a driveway as follows: "Driveway means a private access from
www.ck-law.com
a street to an individual lot."
Ms. Janet ten •
May 16, 2005
Page 2
The segment serving Lots 11 and 12, Block I is a "private street." The segment only serving
Lot 12, Block 1 is a driveway because it does not serve "two or more parcels."
ISSUE NO.4
The private street must have a 30 -foot right-of-way, chapter 18-57.
Response: Agreed, it does have a 30 foot right-of-way. As mentioned in the response to
Issue No. 3, the segment serving only Lot 12 is not a private street and therefore does not
require a 30 foot right-of-way.
ISSUE NO.5
The property is classified as shoreland and as such is subject to shoreland rules, Chapter 1.
Response: Agreed, Section 1-2 of the City Code defines shoreland as `land located within the
following distances from public waters: 1,000 feet from the ordinary high water level of a
lake, pond, or flowage; and 300 feet from a river or stream, or the landward extent of a flood
plain designated by ordinance on a river or stream, whichever is greater. The limits of
shorelands may be reduced whenever the waters involved are bounded by topographic divides
which extend landward from the waters for lesser distances and when approved by the
commissioner."
ISSUE NO. 6.
A private street is a "street not classified" according to the DNR (confirmed in a letter from
John L. Stine, June 20, 2000). Because the private street is in shoreland and is a "street not
classified," it must be setback 20 feet from structures, chapter 20-481. A utility pole is a
structure, a retaining wall is a structure, and a house is a structure, chapter 1 structure
definition. Therefore, three variances are required for these conditions.
Response: There is a well recognized rule of statutory construction that a statute is presumed
not to intend an absurd result. The term "structure" in this context must be interpreted with
that rule in mind. The retaining wall is a necessary part of the street construction and utility
poles are normally found in the right-of-way of streets. The City has never required variances
for these situations which are common place throughout the City.
ISSUE NO.7
All lots accessed by a private street must have front lot lines facing the public street, chapter
20-615. And all RSF lots require a 30 -foot front yard setback. This is lacking in Lot 11,
Block 1, and requires a variance.
Response: City Code Section 20-615(7)(a) states: The setbacks for lots served by private
streets and/or neck lots are as follows: For front yard, 30 feet. The front yard shall be the lot
line nearest the public right-of-way that provides access to the parcel. The rear yard lot line is
to be located opposite from the front lot line with the remaining exposures treated as side lot
Ms. Janet *sen •
May 16, 2005
Page 3
lines. On neck lots the front yard setback shall be measured at the point nearest the front lot
line where the lot achieves a 100 -foot minimum width.
The north property lines of Lots 11 and 12, Block 1 are the front lot line. A variance is not
required, however, there is adequate buildable area without a variance.
ISSUE NO.8
The variances for a 5 -foot front yard setback for Block 2 do not meet all conditions for a
variance.
Response: The City Council and Planning Commission determined that the criteria for a
variance were met. There is a certain amount of judgment or discretion involved in
determining whether the conditions were met, but it was well within the discretion of the
decision maker to make that determination.

36. The developer shall be responsible for planting any trees in side or rear yards as shown on
the landscape plan dated 3/18/05.
37. Any private street is required to have 20 -foot wide paved streets from back -of -curb to back -of -
curb, be built to a 7 -ton design, have a maximum slope of 10%, and contained within a 30 -foot
wide private easement. At the completion of the project, the developer will be required to
submit inspection/soil reports certifying that the private street was built to a 7 -ton design.
38. If importing or exporting material for development of the site is necessary, the applicant will be
required to supply the City with detailed haul routes and traffic control plans. The applicant
should be aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property
owner.
39. All of the ponds are required to be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP)
standards with maximum 3:1 slopes and a 10:1 bench at the NWL.
40. Any retaining wall over 4 feet in height must be designed by a Structural Engineer registered in

Depending on the size of the drainage area, additional catch basins may be required at that time.
The storm sewer will have to be designed for a 10 -year, 24-hour storm event. Drainage and
utility easements will need to be dedicated on the final plat over the public storm drainage
system including ponds, drainage swales, emergency overflows, access routes for maintenance,
and wetlands up to the 100 -year flood level. The minimum easement width shall be 20 feet
wide. Emergency overflows from all stormwater ponds will also be required on the
construction plans.
42. Erosion control measures and site restoration must be developed in accordance with the City's
Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Staff recommends that the City's Type II
erosion control fence, which is a heavy-duty silt fence, be used for the area adjacent to the
existing wetlands. Type I silt fence shall be used in all other areas. In addition, tree
preservation fencing must be installed at the limits of tree removal. Erosion control blankets are
recommended for all of the steep 3:1 slopes with an elevation change of eight feet or more. All

disturbed areas, as a result of construction, must be seeded and mulched or sodded immediately
after grading to minimize erosion.
43. All of the utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's
latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. The applicant is also required to
enter into a development contract with the City and supply the necessary financial security in
the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee installation of the improvements and
the conditions of final plat approval. The applicant must be aware that all public utility
improvements will require a preconstruction meeting before building permit issuance.
44. The sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will be applicable for each of the new lots. The
2005 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 for sanitary sewer and $2,955 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 and are due at the time of building permit issuance.
45. The applicant shall include a drain tile system behind the curbs to convey sump pump discharge
from homes not adjacent to ponds.
46. All plans must be signed by a registered engineer in the State of Minnesota
47. Maximum 3:1 side slopes are allowed without the use of a retaining wall.
48. On the preliminary plat sheet show the street right-of-way for the cul-de-sacs.
49. Minimum 20 -foot wide public drainage and utility easements will be required over the sanitary
sewer and watermain that is outside of the right-of-way.

4 and 5 versus Lots 5 and 6, Block 1.
d. Show all utility and storm ponds easements.
e. Sanitary service must be 6 -inch PVC and water service 1 -inch copper type K.
f. The watermain must be looped through to Manchester Drive versus Galpin Boulevard.
53. Staff is recommending that a raw water transmission main be extended through the site for
future connection to the City's second water treatment plant. The construction cost for the raw
watermain will be paid by the City from the water portion of the Utility Fund. The developer
will be required to provide public drainage and utility easements over the transmission main and
to install the pipe as a part of the utility construction.
54. Since the applicant is now proposing more units (39) than what the property has been assessed
for, the additional 38 units (39-1=38) will be charged a sanitary sewer and watermain lateral
connection charge. These charges are due at the time of final plat recording.
55. As with past developments that access off of Galpin Boulevard, a right -tum lane into the site
will be required to be constructed. The turn lane must meet Carver County design requirements.
56. A 10 -foot clear space must be maintained around fire hydrants, i.e. street lamps, trees, shrubs,
bushes, Xcel Energy, Qwest, Cable TV and transformer boxes. This is to ensure that hydrants
can be quickly located and safely operated by firefighters. Pursuant to Chanhassen City
Ordinance #9-1.
57. Two additional fire hydrants are required.
58. Fire apparatus access roads and water supply for fine protection is required to be installed. Such
protection shall be installed and made serviceable prior to and during the time of construction
except when approved alternate methods of protection are provided.
59. Temporary street signs shall be installed on each street intersection when construction of the
new roadway allows passage by vehicles. Pursuant to 2002 Minnesota Fire Code Section 501.4.
60. No burning permits will be issued for trees to be removed. Trees and shrubs must either be
removed from site or chipped
61. Submit street names to Chanhassen Building Official and Chanhassen Fire Marshal for review
and approval.
62. Create a Lot 1, Block 4, on the eastern portion of Outlot A, east of wetland E.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN
CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, NHNNNFSOTA
FINDINGS OF FACT
AND RECOMMENDATION
IN RE: Planning Case No. 05-14
Application of The Pemtom Land Company for Subdivision with Variances, Rezoning and Wetland
Alteration Permit — Lake Harrison.
On April 19, 2005, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled meeting
to consider the application of The Pemtom Land Company for preliminary plat approval with variances
for street grades, private street and front yard and bluff setbacks, a rezoning of the property to Single -
Family Residential District, RSF, and a wetland alteration permit. 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 Rural Residential District, RR.
2. The property is guided in the land Use Plan for Residential — Low Density use.
3. The legal description of the property is: (see attached Exhibit A)
4. The Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider six (6) possible adverse affects
of the proposed amendment. The six (6) affects and our findings regarding them are:
a The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and
has been found consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan.
b. The proposed use is compatible with the present and future land uses of the area.
c. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance.
d. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
e. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden
the city's service capacity.
f. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property.
5. 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:
a. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance;
SCANNED
0 0
b. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable city, county and regional plans including
but not limited to the city's comprehensive plan;
c. 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;
d. The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm drainage, sewage
disposal, streets, erosion control and all other improvements required by this chapter,
e. The proposed subdivision will not cause excessive environmental damage;
f. The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record; and
g. The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if any of the following
exists:
1. Lack of adequate storm water drainage.
2. Lack of adequate roads.
3. Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems.
4. Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support systems.
6. In order to permit private streets, the city must find that the following conditions exist:
a. The prevailing development pattern makes it unfeasible or inappropriate to construct a public street.
In making this determination, the city may consider the location of existing property lines and
homes, local or geographic conditions and the existence of wetlands.
b. After reviewing the surrounding area, it is concluded that an extension of the public street system is
not required to serve other parcels in the area, improve access, or to provide a street system
consistent with the comprehensive plan.
c. The use of the private street will permit enhanced protection of the city's natural resources
specifically bluffs and forested areas.
7. The city may grant a variance (street grade and private street) from the regulations contained within
the Subdivision Ordinance as part of the plat approval process following a finding that all of the
following conditions exist:
a. The hardship is not a mere inconvenience.
b. The hardship is caused by the particular physical surroundings, shape or typographical conditions of
the land.
d. The conditions upon which the request is based are unique and not generally applicable to other
property.
e. The granting of the variance will not be substantially detrimental to the public welfare and is in
accord with the purpose and intent of this chapter, the zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan.
8. A variance (front yard setback) maybe granted by the city if all of the following criteria are met:
2
0 0
a. The literal enforcement of the ordinance creates a hardship. For purposes of the definition of
undue hardship, reasonable use includes a use includes a use made by a majority of comparable
property within 500 feet of it. The intent of this provision is not to allow a proliferation of
variances, but to recognize that in developed neighborhoods pre-existing standards exist. Variances
that blend with these pre-existing standards without departing downward from them meet this
criteria.
b. The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable, generally, to other
property within the same zoning classification. The proposed setback variance enhances wetland
preservation.
c. The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income potential of
the parcel of land, but to facilitate wetland preservation.
d. The hardship is not self-created by the developer, but due to the fact that the applicant is
attempting to development within an area that is surrounded by wetlands.
e. The variance if approved will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land
or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located.
f. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property.
9. Variance Findings — Bluff Setback
a. The literal enforcement of the ordinance does not creates a hardship. Undue hardship means that
the property cannot be put to reasonable use because of its size, physical surroundings, shape or
topography. Reasonable use includes a use made by a majority of comparable property within 500
feet of it. The intent of this provision is not to allow a proliferation of variances, but to recognize
that there are pre-existing standards in this neighborhood. Variances that blend with these pre-
existing standards without departing downward from them meet this criteria. Lots 11 and 12 could
be developed without encroaching in to the required bluff setback.
b. The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are net applicable, generally, to other
property within the same zoning classification. The proposed setback variance
would permit encroachment in to a sensitive environmental area which the city
has consistently attempted to protect.
c. The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income potential of
the parcel of land, but to facilitate development constrained by a bluff and a electrical transmission
line corridor easement.
d. The hardship is not self-created by the developer.
There are alternate ways of
developing the area above the bluff without encroaching in to the bluff setback.
e. The variance if approved will me$ be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land
or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located by potentially negatively
impacting the bluff, its trees and the wetland below.
f. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property.
0
10. The planning report #05-14 dated April 19, 2005, prepared by Robert Generous, et al, is incorporated
herein.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the Rezoning,
Preliminary Plat with Variances for street grades, private street and the front yard setback variances
for Block 3 and the Wetland Alteration Plan. The Planning Commission further recommends that
the City Council deny the bluff setback variance.
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 19'h day of April, 2005.

Twelve and 20 -inch diameter raw watermain are proposed to be constructed in
1591 Park Road
conjunction with the Lake Harrison development. The proposed raw watermain,
Phone: 952.227.1300
or well collection pipe, will convey untreated water from Well Nos.7 and 8 to the
Fax: 952.227.1310
future west water treatment facility. The collection pipe is proposed to be
extended through the Lake Harrison Development at this time because it will be

more costly to do when the area is developed. The collection pipe will connect to
