Sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will also be applicable for the new lots. The 2004 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 per unit for sanitary sewer and $2,814 per unit for watermain. The hookup charges are based on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met Council for the new lots. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance. All of the public utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Upon completion of the utility improvements, the public utilities will be turned over to the City for maintenance and ownership. The applicant is 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 public utility improvements will require a preconstruction meeting before building permit issuance. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies must be obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA, Department of Health, and the Watershed District. STREETS AND PARKING LOT The applicant is proposing to remove the existing temporary cul-de-sac turnaround and construct a new cul-de-sac at the end of Stone Creek Drive to serve Block 1 and Outlot A in the future. City standards require this cul-de-sac to have a 48 -foot radius with B-618 concrete curb and gutter around the perimeter. The main drive aisle through the site is a private street since it serves multiple lots. As such, the private street must be built to a 9 -ton design, paved to a 26 -foot width, and contained within a 40 -foot private easement. The developer will be required to submit certification reports from a soil testing company which show that the private street was built to these standards. The plans show a full access to the site from the cul-de-sac. It should be noted that the drive aisle turning radii along the western side of the site will not allow the City's pumper fire truck (WB - 50 semi -trailer equivalent) to drive through the site. This will require the turning radii to be revised to accommodate a WB -50 design vehicle (48 -foot radius). c: Paul Oehme, Public Works Director/City Engineer jms g1eng\projects\stone creek town officesUpr.doc • • Page 1 of 2 Saam, Matt From: AI-Jaff, Shanneen Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 2:48 PM To: Saam, Matt QKI ulul�►`I17:YY(11CI Staff recommends the Aftnning Genvniss City Council adopt the following motions: PRELIMINARY PLAT "The City Council approve the preliminary plat for Planning Cas, 04-15 for Stone Creek Town Offices as shown on the plans received April 13, 2004, subject to the followin; conditions: The total S V;W fee, due payable to the City at the time of final plat recording, is $64,268. 2.

I suggest starting by telling the developer about what Mdot wants and see if they object. If they do object I would go back to Mdot and tell them about the objection and ask them if they want to buy the access rights. I don't think we can require they give us their access rights. We could prohibit as a condition of subdivision approval that no access be on the highway, if they have reasonable access to the site in a different manner. This would get us almost to the same place Mdot wants. -----Original Message ---- From: Saam, Matt [mailto:MSaam@ci.chanhassen.mn.us] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 9:43 AM To: Roger Knutson Subject: Plat Question Roger, The City has a proposed plat in for review which abuts state hwy. 5. The state (MN/DOT) is requesting that the City require the developer to dedicate a 60 -foot wide stretch of access control along the state hwy. The access control basically forbids any access to the hwy in that location. Can we do this?

This pond has been previously designed to accommodate drainage from the site. Prior to final platting, storm sewer design data will need to be submitted for staff review. The storm sewer will have to be designed for a 10 -year, 24-hour storm event. Staff recommends that type II silt fence be used adjacent to the stormwater pond and Bluff Creek. A minimum 75 -foot rock construction entrance must be added to the plans per City Detail Plate No. 5301. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property owner. Municipal sewer and water service are available to the site from the south side on Stone Creek Drive. The applicant is proposing to connect to the existing water and sanitary sewer lines and extend them to serve each of the lots. The 8 -inch water and sewer mains will be considered public utility lines since they serve SCANNED The City of Chanhassen • A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks.

As such, minimum 30 -foot wide public easements will be required over the portion of the public utility lines that are outside of the right-of-way. The site has previously been assessed for utility and street improvements. The remaining assessment due payable to the City is $103,521.12. This assessment may be re -spread against the newly platted lots on a per -area basis or paid at the time of final platting. Sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will also be applicable for the new lots. The 2004 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 per unit for sanitary sewer and $2,814 per unit for watermain. The hookup charges are based on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met Council for the new lots. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance. All of the public utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Upon completion of the utility improvements, the public utilities will be turned over to the City for maintenance and ownership. The applicant is 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 public utility improvements will require a preconstruction meeting before building permit issuance. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies must be obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA, Department of Health, and the Watershed District. STREETS AND PARKING LOT The applicant is proposing to remove the existing temporary cul-de-sac turnaround and construct a new cul-de-sac at the end of Stone Creek Drive to serve Block 1 and Outlot A in the future. City standards require this cul-de-sac to have a 48 -foot radius with B-618 concrete curb and gutter around the perimeter. The main drive aisle through the site is a private street since it serves multiple lots. As such, the private street must be built to a 9 -ton design, paved to a 26 -foot width, and contained within a 40 -foot private easement. The developer will be required to submit certification reports from a soil testing company which show that the private street was built to these standards. The plans show a full access to the site from the cul-de-sac. It should be noted that the drive aisle turning radii along the western side of the site will not allow the City's pumper fire truck (WB - 50 semi -trailer equivalent) to drive through the site. This will require the turning radii to be revised to accommodate a WB -50 design vehicle (48 -foot radius). Sharmeen Aff • April 26, 2004 Page 3 RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1.

The remaining assessment due payable to the City is $103,521.12. This assessment may be re -spread against the newly platted lots on a per -area basis or paid at the time of final platting. Sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will also be applicable for the new lots. The 2004 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 per unit for sanitary sewer and $2,814 per unit for watermain. The hookup charges are based on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met Council for the new lots. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance. All of the public utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Upon completion of the utility improvements, the public utilities will be turned over to the City for maintenance and ownership. The applicant is 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 public utility improvements will require a preconstruction meeting before building permit issuance. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies must be obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA, Department of Health, and the Watershed District. STREETS AND PARKING LOT The applicant is proposing to remove the existing temporary cul-de-sac turnaround and construct a new cul-de-sac at the end of Stone Creek Drive to serve Block 1 and Outlot A in the future. City standards require this cul-de-sac to have a 48 -foot radius with B-618 concrete curb and gutter around the perimeter. The main drive aisle through the site is a private street since it serves multiple lots. As such, the private street must be built to a 9 -ton design, paved to a 26 - foot width, and contained within a 40 -foot private easement. The developer will be required to submit certification reports from a soil testing company which show that the private street was built to these standards. The plans show a full access to the site from the cul-de-sac. It should be noted that the drive aisle turning radii along the western side of the site will not allow the City's pumper fire truck (WB -50 semi -trailer equivalent) to drive through the site. This will require the turning radii to be revised to accommodate a WB -50 design vehicle (48 -foot radius). LANDSCAPING Minimum requirements for landscaping include 9,082 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the parking lot, 36 trees for the parking lot, and bufferyard plantings along all property lines. The applicant's proposed as compared to the requirements for landscape area and parking lot trees is shown in the following table: Stone Creek Town Offices • • Planning Case No. 04-15 June 14, 2004 Page 8 Applicant does not meet minimum requirements for the buffer yards along any property lines.

Staff recommends that Norway maple be removed from the planting schedule and a more suitable selection identified. WATER RESOURCES Wetlands Three wetlands were identified as a part of the overall plans for Bluff Creek Corporate Center. The first wetland was filled under a de minimis exemption (under 2,000 square feet) following preliminary plan approval. The second is a replacement wetland that was constructed along Bluff Creek by the City of Chanhassen. This wetland is just west of the Family of Christ Lutheran Church property and is therefore not a part of this project. The third is on the east side of the property and is not within the construction limits.

The lots are intended to house 25 town offices. The applicant is also requesting site plan approval for the constriction of 5 three -unit and 2 five- unit office buildings. These town offices are designed as walkouts as well as slab -on -grade units. The main materials on these units is fiber cement siding. Simulated Stone Wainscot will be used along the lower portion of the buildings. Each building will have defined entryways, columns, and designated wall sign areas. All four sides of each building have been given equal attention to the level of detail. All units are proposed to be occupied as office units which is consistent with the permitted uses within this Planned Unit Development District. No loading docks are proposed with this development. The applicant is proposing sidewalks to all units. Staff recommends a connection be added between these sidewalks and the trail located west of the site. This can be accomplished by extending the sidewalk located south of lot 11 southward to the trail. This connection should include pedestrian ramps. Furthermore, staff is recommending the "accessible parking access aisle" area be shifted to allow alignment with the sidewalk across the parking lot as shown in attachment 1. To the north of the proposed building are Highway 5 and the Walnut Grove development. Townhomes at Creekside is located south of Coulter Boulevard with the Family of Christ Lutheran Church project southwest of the site. To the east of the site are the east tributary of Bluff Creek and vacant office industrial land. To the west of the project is the Chanhassen Recreation Center and Bluff Creek Elementary School. This site is highly visible from Highway 5. The site slopes from a high point of elevation 960 in the north central portion of the site to a low point of elevation 942 along the western property line adjacent to the storm water pond. Transmission lines for NSP currently run along the west of the property. The site is accessed via an extension of Stone Creek Drive. Staff is recommending approval of the subdivision and site plan subject to the conditions of the staff report. BACKGROUND On January 12, 1998, the City Council granted concept approval for PUD #97-2. On April 27, 1998, the City Council granted preliminary approval for PUD #97-2, including the first reading of the rezoning of the property from A2 to PUD and preliminary plat approval for five lots, the Wetland Alteration Permit to fill the small wetland located in the northern portion of the site and the Conditional Use Permit for grading and filling in the flood plain. On June 22, 1998, the Chanhassen City Council granted final plat approval for Bluff Creek Corporate Center PUD #97-2 and second reading for rezoning from A2 to PUD. Stone Creek Town Offices • • Planning Case No. 04-15 May -4 24, 2004 Page 3 On April 26, 1999, the City Council approved Site Plan #99-2 for a 17,140 sq. ft. church facility including assembly, classrooms and offices for Family of Christ Lutheran Church. On June 28, 1999, the City Council approved PUD #97-2 granting Final Plat approval for Family of Christ Lutheran Church Addition (which is part of the Bluff Creek Development). On October 9, 2000, the Chanhassen City Council approved a minor amendment to the Bluff Creek Corporate Center PUD Development Design Standards to permit a 10 -foot parking setback from the TH 5 Right -of -Way (PUD #97-2) and site plan review approval for a one-story, 67,664 square foot office/showroom building (SPR #2000-11). The site plan has no legal standing since it was never recorded. Also, as a condition of approval of the site plan, the applicant was required to plat the underlying parcel (outlot Q. The applicant never replatted the outlot. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The development must comply with the Development Design Standards for Bluff Creek Corporate Center (attached). A PUD is required to be developed to higher quality than other projects. The main building material consists of fiber cement siding. Simulated Stone Wainscot will be used along the lower portion of the buildings. Each building will have defined entryways, columns, and designated wall sign areas. All four sides of each building have been given equal attention. All units are proposed to be occupied as office units which is consistent with the permitted uses within this Planned Unit Development District. No loading docks are proposed with this development. The architecture provides visual interest and meets the standards of the Bluff Creek Corporate Center. COMPLIANCE TABLE GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL The current plans show five buildings of three units and two buildings of five units with a total of 26 lots on Block 1 and two outlots. The applicant is proposing to grade all of Block 1 to prepare the site for the parking lot and building pads. The future buildings on Block 1 are shown with proposed pad elevations that vary from 944.50 to 964.50.

The site has been designed so that stormwater from the buildings will drain toward each of the proposed catch basins. The parking lot storm drainage will be conveyed via storm sewer to an existing stormwater regional pond at the southwesterly corner of the site for treatment. This pond has been previously designed to accommodate drainage from the site. Prior to final platting, storm sewer design data will need to be submitted for staff review. The storm sewer will have to be designed for a 10 -year, 24-hour storm event. Staff recommends that type II silt fence be used adjacent to the stormwater pond and Bluff Creek. A minimum 75 -foot rock construction entrance must be added to the plans per City Detail Plate No. 5301. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property owner. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water service are available to the site from the south side on Stone Creek Drive. The applicant is proposing to connect to the existing water and sanitary sewer lines and extend them to serve each of the lots. The 8 -inch water and sewer mains will be considered public utility lines since they serve multiple lots. As such, minimum 30 -foot wide public easements will be required over the portion of the public utility lines that are outside of the right- of-way. The site has previously been assessed for utility and street improvements. The remaining assessment due payable to the City is $103,521.12. This assessment may be re -spread against the newly platted lots on a per -area basis or paid at the time of final platting. Sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will also be applicable for the new lots. The 2004 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 per unit for sanitary sewer and $2,814 per unit for watermain. The hookup charges are based on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met Council for the new lots. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance. All of the public utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Upon completion of the utility improvements, the public utilities will be turned over to the City for maintenance and ownership. The applicant is 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 public utility improvements will require a preconstruction meeting before building permit issuance. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies must be obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA, Department of Health, and the Watershed District. Stone Creek Town Offices • • Planning Case No. 04-15 May -4 24, 2004 Page 5 STREETS AND PARKING LOT The applicant is proposing to remove the existing temporary cul-de-sac turnaround and construct a new cul-de-sac at the end of Stone Creek Drive to serve Block 1 and Outlot A in the future. City standards require this cul-de-sac to have a 48 -foot radius with B-618 concrete curb and gutter around the perimeter. The main drive aisle through the site is a private street since it serves multiple lots. As such, the private street must be built to a 9 -ton design, paved to a 26 - foot width, and contained within a 40 -foot private easement. The developer will be required to submit certification reports from a soil testing company which show that the private street was built to these standards. The plans show a full access to the site from the cul-de-sac. It should be noted that the drive aisle turning radii along the western side of the site will not allow the City's aerial fire truck to drive through the site. This may necessitate the need for sprinkling of all proposed buildings. The parking ordinance for office buildings requires the following: Office buildings (administrative, business or professional) --Buildings under forty-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine (49,999) square feet, four and one-half (4.5) stalls per one thousand (1,000) square feet gross floor area; buildings from fifty thousand (50,000) to ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine (99,999) square feet, four (4) stalls per one thousand (1,000) square feet gross floor area; and buildings over one hundred thousand (100,000) square feet, three and one-half (3.5) stalls per one thousand (1,000) square feet gross floor. The applicant is proposing a total area of 70,696 square feet of office space. The ordinance requires 283 parking stalls. The applicant is proposing 294 spaces which exceed the minimum requirements of the ordinance. The applicant is also showing an additional 11 proof of parking spaces should the need present itself. LANDSCAPING Minimum requirements for landscaping include 9,082 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the parking lot, 36 trees for the parking lot, and bufferyard plantings along all property lines. The applicant's proposed as compared to the requirements for landscape area and parking lot trees is shown in the following table.

Because of the proximity of the west property line to Bluff Creek, native planting will be required in the bufferyard. Staff recommends that Norway maple be removed from the planting schedule and a more suitable selection identified. WATER RESOURCES Wetlands Three wetlands were identified as a part of the overall plans for Bluff Creek Corporate Center. The first wetland was filled under a de minimis exemption (under 2,000 square feet) following preliminary plan approval. The second is a replacement wetland that was constructed along Bluff Creek by the City of Chanhassen. This wetland is just west of the Family of Christ Lutheran Church property and is therefore not a part of this project. The third is on the east side of the property and is not within the construction limits. Bluff Creek The proposed project is situated between the main branch of Bluff Creek to the west and a tributary of Bluff Creek to the east. However, only Outlot B is within the primary or secondary corridors of the Bluff Creek Overlay District. No alterations are proposed in this area. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP) All exposed soil areas must have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover for the exposed soil areas year round, according to the following table of slopes and time frames: Type of Slope Time (Maximum time an area can remain open when the area Steeper than 3:1 7 days is not actively being worked.) 10:1 to 3:1 14 days Flatter than 10:1 21 days These areas include constructed storm water management pond side slopes, and any exposed soil areas with a positive slope to a storm water 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.

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. LIGHTING/SIGNAGE The applicant has prepared a lighting plan for the proposed development. Lighting consist of 25 foot tall poles with either a single or double light high pressure sodium metal halide lighting in a shoe -box type fixture. The proposed area lighting complies with city requirements. The developer is also proposing wall mounted units. These lights must be directed downward so that there is no glare directed off site.

The parking lot storm drainage will be conveyed via storm sewer to an existing stormwater regional pond at the southwesterly comer of the site for treatment. This pond has been previously designed to accommodate drainage from the site. Prior to final platting, storm sewer design data will need to be submitted for staff review. The storm sewer will have to be designed for a 10 -year, 24-hour storm event. Staff recommends that type H silt fence be used adjacent to the stormwater pond and Bluff Creek. A minimum 75 -foot rock construction entrance must be added to the plans per City Detail Plate No. 5301. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property owner. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water service are available to the site from the south side on Stone Creek Drive. The applicant is proposing to connect to the existing water and sanitary sewer lines and extend them to serve each of the lots. The 8 -inch water and sewer mains will be considered public utility lines since they serve multiple lots. As such, minimum 30 -foot wide public easements will be required over the portion of the public utility lines that are outside of the right- of-way. The site has previously been assessed for utility and street improvements. The remaining assessment due payable to the City is $103,521.12. This assessment may be re -spread against the newly platted lots on a per -area basis or paid at the time of final platting. Sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will also be applicable for the new lots. The 2004 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 per unit for sanitary sewer and $2,814 per unit for watermain. The hookup charges are based on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met Council for the new lots. Sanitary sewer and watemzain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance. All of the public utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Upon completion of the utility improvements, the public utilities will be turned over to the City for maintenance and ownership. The applicant is 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 public utility improvements will require a preconstruction meeting before building permit issuance. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies must be obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA, Department of Health, and the Watershed District. Stone Creek Town Offices • • Planning Case No. 04-15 May 4, 2004 Page 5 STREETS AND PARKING LOT The applicant is proposing to remove the existing temporary cul-de-sac turnaround and construct a new cul-de-sac at the end of Stone Creek Drive to serve Block 1 and Outlot A in the future. City standards require this cul-de-sac to have a 48 -foot radius with B-618 concrete curb and gutter around the perimeter. The main drive aisle through the site is a private street since it serves multiple lots. As such, the private street must be built to a 9 -ton design, paved to a 26 - foot width, and contained within a 40 -foot private easement. The developer will be required to submit certification reports from a soil testing company which show that the private street was built to these standards. The plans show a full access to the site from the cul-de-sac. It should be noted that the drive aisle turning radii along the western side of the site will not allow the City's aerial fire truck to drive through the site. This may necessitate the need for sprinkling of all proposed buildings. Minimum requirements for landscaping include 9,082 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the parking lot, 36 trees for the parking lot, and bufferyard plantings along all property lines. The applicant's proposed as compared to the requirements for landscape area and parking lot trees is shown in the following table. Applicant does not meet minimum requirements for the buffer yards along any property lines. Because of the proximity of the west property line to Bluff Creek, native planting will be required in the bufferyard. Staff recommends that Norway maple be removed from the planting schedule and a more suitable selection identified. Required Proposed Vehicular use landscape area 9,082 sq. ft. 89,133 sq. ft.

Stone Creek Town Offices • • Planning Case No. 04-15 May 4, 2004 Page 6 WATER RESOURCES Wetlands Three wetlands were identified as a part of the overall plans for Bluff Creek Corporate Center. The first wetland was filled under a de minimis exemption (under 2,000 square feet) following preliminary plan approval. The second is a replacement wetland that was constructed along Bluff Creek by the City of Chanhassen. This wetland is just west of the Family of Christ Lutheran Church property and is therefore not a part of this project. The third is on the east side of the property and is not within the construction limits. Bluff Creek The proposed project is situated between the main branch of Bluff Creek to the west and a tributary of Bluff Creek to the east. However, only Outlot B is within the primary or secondary corridors of the Bluff Creek Overlay District. No alterations are proposed in this area. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP) All exposed soil areas must have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover for the exposed soil areas year round, according to the following table of slopes and time frames: Type of Slone Time (Maximum time an area can remain open when the area Steeper than 3:1 7 days is not actively being worked.) 10:1 to 3:1 14 days Flatter than 10:1 21 days These areas include constructed storm water management pond side slopes, and any exposed soil areas with a positive slope to a storm water 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. Street cleaning of soil tracked onto public streets should include daily street scraping and street sweeping as -needed. Surface Water Management Fees Water Quality Fees Because of the impervious surface associated with this development, the water quality fees for this proposed development are based on industrial development rates of $5,955 per acre. Based on the proposed developed area of 5.56 acres, the water quality fees associated with this project are $33,110. Stone Creek Town Offices • • Planning Case No. 04-15 May 4, 2004 Page 7 Water Quantity Fees The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average citywide rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land acquisition, proposed SWMP culverts, open channels, and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage. Industrial developments have a connection charge of $5,604 per developable acre. This results in a water quantity fee of approximately $31,158 for the proposed development. At this time, the estimated total SWMP fee, due payable to the City at the time of final plat recording, is $64,268. 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. LIGHTING/SIGNAGE The applicant has prepared a lighting plan for the proposed development. Lighting consist of 25 foot tall poles with either a single or double light high pressure sodium metal halide lighting in a shoe -box type fixture. The proposed area lighting complies with city requirements. The developer is also proposing wall mounted units. These lights must be directed downward so that there is no glare directed off site. The PUD permits freestanding monument signs. The sign is limited to a maximum of eighty (80) square feet in sign display area and the height not to exceed eight (8) feet. The sign treatment is an element of the architecture and thus should reflect the quality of the development. The applicant is proposing a Limestone Slab, 5 feet in height, as an entry monument sign. The area of the sign is less than 35 square feet. The sign is proposed to be located along the south portion of the site at the entrance. It maintains a 10 -foot setback from the property line which is consistent with city code. The sign meets PUD requirements. The PUD allows Wall signs as described in the city ordinance for industrial office park site. Wall signage is shown above the entrance into each unit. A separate sign permit shall be required for each sign. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: (1) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides, including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may be adopted; (2) Consistency with this division; Stone Creek Town Offices • • Planning Case No. 04-15 May 4, 2004 Page 8 (3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing or developing areas; (4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the development; (5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special attention to the following: a.
