CAS-17_CHES MAR AREA LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENTMetropolitan Council January 25, 2007 Sharmeen AI Jaff, Senior Planner DECEIVED City of Chanhassen JAN 3 0 2007 7700 Market Blvd P.O. Box 147 CITY OF CHANHASSEN Chanhassen, MN 55317-0147 RE: City of Chanhassen — Ches Mar Farms Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) Metropolitan Council Review File No. 16500-13 Metropolitan Council District 4 (Julius Smith, 952-443-2430) Dear Ms. Al -Jaffa At its meeting on January 24, 2007, the Metropolitan Council reviewed the City's CPA, based on the staff report. The amendment reguides CPA proposes to change the City's land use designations for 11 parcels that are single-family residences on large lots and presently without public sewer and water. The total area is 37.22 acres, of which 6.23 acres are in wetlands. The net buildable upland area is 30.99 acres. The Council found that the CPA conforms to the regional system plans for transportation, wastewater, and parks, is consistent with the 2030 Regional Development Framework and Council policies, and is compatible with the plans of adjacent jurisdictions. Therefore, the City may place the CPA into effect. A copy of the staff report to the Council is attached for your records. The Council will append the amendment, submission form and supplemental information to the City's plan in the Council's files. If you have any questions, please contact Jim Uttley, Principal Reviewer at 651- 602-1361.

Chanhassen's 2020 Comprehensive Plan (Review No. 16500-4) was reviewed by the Council on June 9, 1999. In 2000, the City had 20,321 residents in 6,914 households and 8,501 jobs. By 2030, the City is expected to have 38,000 residents in 14,800 households, and 15,600 jobs. The Council's 2030 Regional Development Framework (RDF) identifies Chanhassen as a "developing community." As a developing community, Chanhassen should plan and stage development that accommodates the forecasts for local growth through 2030 at net densities of 3-5 units plus per acre. The City is connected to the Metropolitan Disposal System (MDS) with treatment occurring at the Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant. Since 2000, the Council has reviewed 13 comprehensive plan amendments (CPA). REQUEST SUMMARY The City of Chanhassen submitted the Ches Mar Farm comprehensive plan amendment (CPA), to correct a land use mapping error. The existing 37 -acre Ches Mar Farm has 11 parcels with six single-family homes. (Figures 1 and 2) While the area is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA), none of the parcels have municipal sewer or water. The CPA proposes to correct the intended guiding. The City proposes to correct the guide plan to show the parcels as "low-density" residential reflecting their present single-family use. Ten of the parcels are guided as "medium -density" residential. One parcel is guided as Public/Semi-Public. Chanhassen proposes to correct the guide plan to show the 11 parcels as "low-density" residential reflecting the existing single- family use. PROPOSED ACTION Staff recommends that the Metropolitan Council: Allow the City to put the comprehensive plan amendment into effect with no modifications. ISSUES 1. Does the proposed CPA change the Council's forecasts? 2. Does the City of Chanhassen need to fulfill any requirements previously identified by the Council? 3. Does the proposed CPA conform to regional systems? Is it consistent with Council policy? Is it compatible with adjacent community plans? OVERVIEW Conformity with The CPA conforms to the Regional System Plans for Parks, Transportation Regional Systems and Water Resources Management with no substantial impact on or departure from these plans.. Consistency with The CPA is consistent with the Council's 2030 Regional Development Council Policy Framework, forecasts and water resources management. This CPA does not change the City's 2010, 2020 or 2030 forecasts. Compatibility with The amendment will have no impact on adjacent communities. Adjacent Community Plans ISSUE ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS REGIONAL SYSTEMS Parks (Jan Youngquist, Senior Planner, 651-602-1029) The proposed CPA is in conformance with the regional parks system, and will not impact regional parks and trails. The CPA is adjacent on the south boundary of Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. . Transportation (Ann Braden, Senior Planner, 651-602-1705) The proposed CPA is in conformance with the regional transportation system and will not impact the regional transportation system. The Ches Mar Farm subdivision is immediately west of Hazeltine Blvd, about 1600 feet north of Hwy 5. Water Resources Management (Kyle Colvin, P.E., Asst. Manager, Engineering and Planning, MCES, 651-602-1151) The proposed CPA is in conformance with the regional water resources management system and will not impact the regional wastewater system. The Council has adequate regional sewer capacity to serve the Ches Mar Farm properties. Chanhassen is on the Council's list of communities with I/I problems and the Surcharge List for 2007. The City's System Statement has an identified IR Goal. Chanhassen has acknowledged the surcharge and submitted a work plan to identify and mitigate excessive M from the local system. 2 REGIONA POLICIES Housing (Linda Milashius, Planner, 651-602-1541) The proposed CPA is consistent with Council housing policy. Because there are no forecast changes to population and housing, the City's share of affordable housing remains the same. Surface Water Management (Jim Larsen, Senior Planner, 651-602-1159) The CPA is consistent with the Council's surface water management policies. Surface water in the City of Chanhassen is managed by the Carver County Watershed Management Organization, and the Lower Minnesota River and Riley -Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed Districts. The Carver County watershed plan was approved by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) in 2001. The Lower Minnesota River and Riley -Purgatory Bluff Creek watershed plans were approved by BWSR in 1999 and 1997 respectively. Chanhassen updated its plan in the spring of 2006. Water Supply (Sara Bertelsen, Planner, 651-602-1035) The proposed CPA is consistent with Council water supply policy. The Council is in the process of reviewing Chanhassen's 2006 Water Supply and Emergency & Conservation Plan update. 2030 Regional Development Framework (Jim Uttley, AICP, Planning Analyst, 651-602-1361) Chanhassen's 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update (CPU) reviewed by the Council on June 9, 1999, proposed 1,199 net acres of MUSA expansion at an overall density of 3.1 units per net acre. The Ches Mar Farm CPA land was in the Stage I MUSA staging area (2000-2005). The City's intent in the CPA is to correct a mapping error from the 2020 CPU. The City's plan shows the southern -most parcel of 2.3 acres as public/semi-public. (Figure 2) It is used as single-family residential and its present land use designation makes the property non -conforming. This means that if the house was destroyed by a fire or other cause, it could not be reconstructed. The City intended for the parcel to be shown on the land use plan map as low-density residential (future urban/sewered) land use category having a density range of 1.2-4 units per net acre. The remainder of the parcels are currently shown as medium -density residential. (Figure 2) The existing uses are 5 large -lot single family houses. The City intended for the parcels to be shown on the land use plan map as low-density residential land use category having a density range of 1.2-4 units per net acre. If the Ches Mar Faun properties had been correctly shown in the City's 2000 CPU, the plan's density would have been reduced from 3.1 to 3.01 units per net acre. This would still have met the Council's policy of 3 units per net acre overall for residential development. As a participant in the Council's Plat Monitoring Program, the City reported platting between 2000 and 2005, a total of 340 net acres adding 1,409 dwelling units for an overall density of 4.1 units per net acre. Consistency with the Council's 2030 Forecasts (Jim Uttley, Planning Analyst, 651-602-1361) The City's forecasts are consistent with the Council's forecasts. The CPA will not change the City's forecasts.

Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317-0147 RECEIVED JUL 2 8 2006 CITY OF CHANHASSEN RE: City of Chanhassen — Chcsmar Farms Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) Metropolitan Council Review File No. 16500-13 Metropolitan Council District 4 (Julius Smith, 952-443-2430) Dear Ms. Al -Jaffa The Metropolitan Council received the Chesmar Farms CPA on July 10, 2006. The CPA proposes to change the City's land use designations for 11 parcels that are single-family residences on large lots without public sewer and water. One of the properties, Dyvig property (7250 Hazeltine Blvd) is 2.54 acres and was shown on the City's existing land use map as Public/Semi-Public. It is used as a single-family residence and the City proposes to reguide it as "low-density' residential (1.24 units/acre net). The remainder of the Chesmar Farms area consists of 10 parcels -of -record having 6 property owners and residences. These parcels total approximately 33.7 acres and are shown in the existing plan as "medium -density" residential (4-8 units/acre net). The City is requesting to reguide the parcels to "low-density' residential (1.24 unitstacre net). Council staff finds that the proposed plan amendment is incomplete as submitted. It raises potential wastewater system issues and density policy issues, which require additional information. Additional information addressing the following is requested: • Is the Chesmar Farms property proposed for reguiding inside the City's existing MUSA? Is municipal sewer in Hazeltine Blvd adjacent to the Chesmar Fames properties? If sewer is available, what - if anything - is preventing the extension of sewer service to the properties? Does the City have time requirements for hooking up to sewer when it is available? Given the low density of the properties on average 0.19 units/acre, the households would appear to be non -conforming uses in terms of both the existing and the proposed new plan designations. Is this the City's intention? wwlv.metrocuuncil.org Metro Info Une 602-1888 230 East Fifth Street • St. Paul. Minnesota 55 10 1-1626 • (651) 602-1000 • Fax 602-1550 • TTY291-0904 M Fqu Otpwfi-gj El,� Sharmeen Al-Jaff, Senior Planner July 27, 2006 Page 2 There are several areas in the City that appear to be planned as "residential -large lot" (2.5 acres minimum 1/10 outside of MUSA) but fall within the City's designated 2000 MUSA. It appears to Council staff that this designation (residential large lot) would be consistent with the existing use of the properties and result in substantially fewer non -conforming properties. Council policy establishes an overall minimum density of 3-5 plus units per acre for MUSA expansions. The Council's MUSA Expansion Guidelines require staff to use the minimum density of each residential land use to determine the impacts of proposed land use changes on overall community densities. In applying this formula to the current CPA proposal, the overall density for the City as a whole falls substantially below the 3 units/acre standard to an average net density of 2.6 units per acre (see Table attached). Council staff is concerned about the City's future ability to meet density standards. Since 2003, the City has approved 19 plats of which only 3 have had net densities in excess of 3 units/acre. The average net densities for the years 20003, 2004 and 2005 have been 1.93, 2.1 and 2.37 units per acre respectively. Will the City be able to meet the Council's density policy with respect to the parcels added to the MUSA? In addition, Council staff brings the following advisory comments to your attention. These are not completeness issues at this time. Surface Water Management (Jim Larsen, P.E., Senior Planner, 651-602-1159) Surface water management in the City of Chanhassen is overseen by the Carver County Watershed Management Organization (WMO), and the Lower Minnesota River, Riley -Purgatory Bluff Creek and Minnehaha Creek Watershed Districts. The Carver County WMO plan was approved by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) in 2001. The Lower Minnesota River, Riley -Purgatory Bluff Creek and Minnehaha Creek watershed plans were approved by BWSR in 1999, 1997, and 1997 respectively. Chanhassen was required to update its local surface water management plan by the end of 2004. The City indicated earlier this year that it is currently working on the update of its local plan and expects to have a completed draft this summer. The draft plan should be submitted to the Council for its review concurrent with the review by the four watershed management organizations. Water Supply (Sara Bertelsen, Environmental Planner, 651-602-1035) As a reminder, the City will need to submit their Water Supply and Emergency & Conservation Plan update to the Council and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) by October 15, 2006, in accordance with the DNR's April 28, 2005 guidance letter to the City. Timely submission of the plan element update will insure any future water appropriation permit requests or Comprehensive Plan Amendment submissions from the City will not experience unnecessary Sharmeen Al-Jaff, Senior Planner July 27, 2006 Page 3 delays in their review process.

Staff is proposing to process a land use plan amendment to re -guide the property from Public/Semi-Public and Residential -Medium Density (Net Density Range 4-8 units/acre) to Residential -Low Density (Net Density Range 1.2-4 units/acre). This land use plan amendment will make the existing and/or potential uses consistent with the land use plan. BACKGROUND On July 8, 1991, the City Council approved Comprehensive Plan Amendment #91-1 changing the Land Use Designation of the property shown in vertical lines from Residential Medium Density to Residential Low Density (see page 2 of attached letter dated August 19, 1991). The land is occupied by single-family homes. The site density is 0.9 units per acre. Staff is unsure why this change was never reflected on any land use map. The second area, guided Public/Semi Public, is actually private property occupied by a single-family home. Staff suspects that when Camp Tanadoona was guided Public/Semi Public, the land use designation was inadvertently extended to the east to include the private property occupied by the single-family home.

The CPA proposes to change the City's land use designations for 11 parcels that are single-family residences on large lots and presently without municipal sanitary sewer and water. The total area is 37.22 acres, of which 6.23 acres are in wetlands. There are 30.99 net buildable acres according to the City's analysis. On July 27, 2006, Council staff found that the proposed plan amendment was incomplete as submitted. It raised potential wastewater system and density policy issues requiring additional information. On September 29, Chanhassen staff provided supplemental information to the Council. The supplemental information has been evaluated and the plan amendment is now considered complete for review. This CPA will need to go to the Community Development Committee (CDC) and Council for formal action. The Council has 60 days to complete its review with the option of extending the period for an additional 60 days. The initial 60 -day review period ends on November 28, 2006. However, because of the Thanksgiving holidays, it appears that the CPA will go to the CDC for action in November and to the Council for action in December. For this reason, the Council is exercising its option at this time to extend the review period an additional 60 days or until January 27, 2007. A copy of the staff report and CDC agenda will be mailed to you in late October about a week before the CDC meeting. If you have any questions about this review, please contact Jim Uttley, Principal Reviewer and Sector Representative at 651-602-1361.

Frankly, I was under the impression we were already in a low density area (roughly one unit per acre). As we have no intentions of subdividing the property, I don't see where there would be a problem. Coincidentally, we are evaluating our various options with our home, which is very large, and as our eight children grow up and move out, will be much more real estate than we need or care to maintain for our family's shrinking needs. Presently, we are listing the property for sale to test its value ( and quite possibly liquidate). Beyond that, we have contemplated using the property as a group home, as there is significant capacity here, and we are former foster parents with some experience in the field. Are there any barriers or limits to that type of use under the city's guidelines? One more thing ... where does the Planning Commission meet on May 4th?

Keefe: Just a quick one. When I was looking at this 2020 plan, it looks like it's guided for medium. AI -Jaffa Correct. Keefe: And so if we were to go to low now, I'm confused on how that works in terms of you, if we got it to low, then we'll just change the 2020 plan, is that what we would do? Al -Jaffa Correct. Keefe: And then currently the property, I mean most of those are pretty large lots, aren't they? Al -Jaffa That's correct. 37 Planning Commission ting — May 4, 2004 • Keefe: Would they typically fall today in the medium residential or medium? Al-Jaff: Right now they are large lot residential. They are served by well and septic. Keefe: So I'm not clear what the rationale is to go to low versus to go to medium. Al-Jaff: Well we want to stay consistent with the guide plan. Or with the uses that are out there today, and what it was guided for. The intent in 1991 when this planned unit development was processed was to guide this area. Keefe: To low, right? Al -Jaffa To low density residential. Keefe: But was that because of a plan for, a development that was planned to go in there? Al -Jaffa It was part of a plan that was proposed and has been built on the site since. I mentioned earlier, there was an 8 unit apartment that no longer is. Keefe: It never got built or it got tore down? Al -Jaffa I believe it got tom down. No? It's still there? Geri Eikaas: It's a house. Al -Jaffa It's a house. It was converted? Keefe: Is that the one that's, okay that's for sale. Okay. Al -Jaffa It's a single family home today. Keefe: Okay. That's all I have. Slagle: Steve. Lillehaug: A few quick ones. What's driving this at this time? Is it just you guys saw something and wanted to change it? Al-Jaff: One of the things that happened was, we received a phone call on this parcel that is currently guided open space. It is up for sale and I looked at it and realized that it was guided wrong and staff decided to clean up this area. Lillehaug: The parcel that goes out to the lake, what is that currently guided right now because I think the north part of the northeast section I think that is guided I think PUD. 9M Planning Commission ting — May 4, 2004 • Al-Jaff: Medium density. Guided? Generous: It's zoned PUD. Al-Jaff: It is zoned PUD. Lillehaug: Zoned PUD. Al-Jaff: The entire Ches Mar piece is zoned Planned Unit Development but it's guided medium density. Lillehaug: Wasn't there, isn't that long portion zoned, is it RR? Al-Jaff: No. It is zoned. Lillehaug: I thought I looked at that. Yeah, it's zoned RR right now according to this map. A]-Jaff: What we're looking is in the future. The entire city is guided for different types of uses. Lillehaug: So you're looking at just changing the guiding. Al-Jaff: I'm looking at the guide plan only. I'm not touching the zoning. Lillehaug: No comments. Slagle: Bethany? Tjornhom: Nope. Slagle: I don't have any. Well, since this is a public hearing, as I mentioned, I'm going to ask anybody that wants to address this issue to please come up to the microphone and state your name and address and tell us what you're thinking. Anybody out there? There's one. Debbie Lloyd: Debbie Lloyd, 7302 Laredo Drive. Just a question. That open space, that wasn't dedicated as part of the PUD or anything. Al-Jaff: No. It's actually completely separate from the PUD. Debbie Lloyd: And the PUD, did it have any special dedicated land that by changing the zoning you would affect that parcel that was dedicated for a special purpose? Al-Jaff: No, it's not part of. 9T1 Planning Commission i7i6eting — May 4, 2004 • Debbie Lloyd: You mean that striped part is not part of the PUD? Al-Jaff: The planned unit development is this gray area. Debbie Lloyd: It's gray underneath the stripes. Al-Jaff: That's something that I highlighted just to show the area. It's not part of the planned unit development. Debbie Lloyd: Okay. That's my only question. Thank you. Slagle: Thank you Debbie. Okay, anybody else? Okay. Seeing no one else, I'll close the public hearing and bring it back to the commission. Thoughts, comments. Okay. Alright, I have none either so let's open it up to a motion to approve. Can I have a motion. Tjomhom: I'll try to make a motion. Slagle: Okay. Tjomhom: Be gentle. The Planning Commission recommends approval of re -guiding all the highlighted property shown in the attached Exhibit A from Residential Medium Density and Public/Semi-Public to Residential Low Density (Net Density 1.2-4 Units per Acre). Slagle: Okay. Is there a second? Keefe: Second. Slagle: Any further discussion? Okay, seeing none I'll put it to a vote. Tjornhom moved, Keefe seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of re -guiding all the highlighted property shown in the attached Exhibit A from Residential Medium Density and Public/Semi-Public to Residential Low Density (Net Density 1.2-4 Units per Acre). All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0. Slagle: Public hearings are now done. And I'm going to ask, if I may, take a 5 minutes recess. I need to make a phone call and as I mentioned Kate, I might have to leave depending upon the nature of my phone call, so then we wouldn't have a quorum and then we would be done, and I'm sorry about your Chapter 20 but we'll see. I'm sorry Bob. Alright, we'll find out in just a few minutes. The Planning Commission took a short recess at this point in the meeting.
