REQUF~T BY CHARLIE ,[AMES FOR SPECIAL A~$ESSMENT ~AN~E; The Executive Director presented the slaff report noting that the ~ by Mr. James was exactly the same as outlined in the HRA's Redev~~t Plan and exactly the same as given to most businesses locating/expanding in the City of ~ i.e. Mr. James would be eligible to receive up to 3 years worth of tax increment on a "pay as you go" basis as an incentive for constructing an approrlmn__te 75,000 sq. ft. facility in (~2nhasa~n. Increment would not be reimbursed to Mr. James until after he had made tax paynzmts in 1995, 1997, and 1998. The amount of increment that would be reum~ed to him in each of those years would be exactly the same as the taxes he pnid in each of those years. The Executive Director noted that Mr. James had significantly higher special assessments against hi~ ~ than have gmeznHy exisu~ on other projects and had incurred significant costs associsted With the renHgnment of West 78th Street The initial indications were that the amount of specisl assessments and costs incurred for the West 78th Street renH~t would probably exceed the total incentives being offered by the city, i.e. the cost that we have placed against the Wotgn'ty approxinmtr the dollars now being provided back to Mr. James. Finally, the Executive Director noted thnt the Assistant Executive Director had ~ted to the HR the incentive ~ provided to Mr. James approximatrly one year ago which outlined the HRA's policies in regards to our incentive program. The letter notrd that Mr. James was anticipating bringing to Chanhassen a 75,000 sq. fL facility which would meet the zoning, setbacks, and nH other ordinances of the City of ~ Although current concerns have been raised in regards to Mr. James' tin,mt being Byedy's, which may to the HRA's policies providing incentive to a developer ff he would be generating additional taxes for the HRA/CIty. The cturent contract being considered by the HR is with Mr. James and not with Byerly's. The Executive Director seriously questioned whether the lIRA could deny the assistance to Mr. James as he was relying on the assurances given to him by the lIRA from nearly one year ago. In addition, the HR's policies are clear in that the incentive program is I-IRA Minutes December 16, 1993 Page 2 a part of the Redevelopment Plan. Mr. James was in compliance with all portions of that Redevelopment Plan. Charlie lames and John Meyers presented the specific development proposal for the property. Mr. lames relayed that Byerly's would be the primary tenant and that they had signed a multi- year lease with him. The facility which is proposed to be built is the most expensive grocery complex that he has had an opportunity to build after many years in the construction business. He noted that Byerly's wants this project to be a top-notch project that both the community and Byerly's can be proud of. Mr. James then graphically showed elements of the construction which were not typical and why these elements had been added by Byerly's to ensure that this project would be a highly attractive project. Alternative schematics were presented showing sight lines from various locations, planting and landscaping plans, as well as market study information showing the trade area that they would be drawing from. They showed statistics as to the number of existing Chanhassen residents who are currently leaving Chanhassen to shop at Cub and/or Rainbow. It has been their experience that stores have generally upgraded to ensure that they can attain a higher percentage of the market to reasonably compete with Byerly's. The following persons spoke in regards to the Charlle James development: Lyle and Bob King, owners of Festival Foods; Bernie Hanson, Chanhassen Lawn & Sport; Tim Keane, Larkin- Hoffman Law Firm/Gateway/Festival; Amie Prieve, representing Gateway Foods; Charlie James, T.F. James Company; John Meyers, representing Byerly's; Tim Menning, representing owners of Market Square Partnership. Although the above speakers presented their concerns in their own words, there appeared to be a great deal of similarity in all of the positions presented, i.e: Viability of Festiva]/Other Stor~s: Each of thc owners admitted that they were aware of the fact that at some point in time there would be competition for their facility. Additionally they noted that they thought competition was good and that Byerly's was a top notch operator which none of them would make disheartening comments about. However, most of those speaking wished that the decision to build in Chanhassen could have been held off for one additional year, and Market Study: Although each of the speakers believed that Byerly's hsd conducted a market study in advance of making the decision to locate in Chanhassen, speakers wished to see the HRA conduct their own market study to determine what the effects of Byerly's would be back to existing businesses; and Necessity for Expansion: Mr. Prieve acknowledged that one of the options which may be open to the existing Market Square development would be to increase the size of that swre and to change the name from Festival to Rainbow. His question was whether or not HRA Minutes December 16, 1993 Page 3 the liRA would be able to help in that type of expansion so as to allow Festival Foods to more reasonably compete with Byerly's. General Assis~lmcc: Although most of the speakers acknowledged that ~ had received assistance through the HRA, they questioned whether or not a store such as Byerly's should receive a similar level of assistance. At issue was the fact that the mark~ was very weak when they made the decision to commit to Chanhassen whereas currently Byerly's would not need that similar form of assistance. The Executive Dircctor repeated points brought out earlier in that the agreement is between the HRA and Charlic James-not Byerly's; that Idr. James had presented his question as to whether assistance would be available to him if he built a 75,000 sq. fi. facili~ in conformance with city ordinances; that he had received assurances that he would; that those assurances did not place exceptions as to who the tenants xnight be; and, finall~ the Exccntive Director noted that Mr. improvements surroundiqg his property, i.e. major trunk and lateral water lines, mink and htnal sewers, Kerber Boulevard upgrade, West 78th Street realist, etc. In each of those instances, Mr. James stated that he could not afford the level of assessments being cons/dered by the HRA/C/ty Council and that he would have to be opposed to each of those projects nn~css he was reasonably assured that assistance would be available to him if h~ brought development to that writing, that verbal acknowledgement of this fact was given to him at each of those hearings, and that he was currently requesting that the HR solely abide by the commi~ts that they had made to him in prior years. After si.cmificant discussion and anguish over the HR's desire not to hurt anylexisting busines.% but also to conform to the verbal contractual agreeanents entered into with Mr. 'James, the HRA came to consensus that their hands were basically tied and that a reversal of their previous position would probnbly not be upheld either legally or mmally. HRA members discussed the fact that two enclosm~ showing two d/fferent assistance levels had been included in thc packet. The Executive Director infimned HRA members that the two assistance proposals were based on two diff~ potential building values for Mr. James' new slructure. The approval being given by the HRA was really one as to the formula which would be used to set the amount of the assistance; that that fonmfla is exactly the same as the standard model wherein the county assessor would set the specific building value after having reviewed the detailed building plans; and that Mr. James would agree that that value would represcnt the minimum building value. The fonm~ of calculating the tax capacity, using that b~_iltllng valtle and then multiplying that by the cra-rant total tax rate, would represent the incentive being provided to Mr. James for any one year. That yearly amount would be .multiplied by 3 to determine the total assistance. Commissioners reaf~um~ that it was the fommla that was being adopted, not either of the two examples included in the packet. HRA Minutes December 16, 1993 Page 4 Gary Boyle moved, Charlie Robbins seconded to approve a development contract with Charlie James which would include the standard assistance formula and that would conform in all other respects with the typical requirements of a standard development contract between a developer and the HRA. Motion was approved unanimously. As noted above, the HRA did carry out significant discussion as it dealt with assistance which should be provided to new projects. The conclusion reached was that Mr. James should reasonably be allotted the assistance which had been stated to him over the past several years. However, HRA members felt that with the expiration of the district being right around the corner, that the HRA should limit future assistance to developers to no more titan one-half of the amount paid from new development between now and the time the district ceased. Chmiel moved, Boyle seconded a motion to direct staff to prepare a Redevelopment Plan amendment which would limit assistance to developers to no more than one-half of the increment that would be generated from full year tax collections between now and the year 2000 including . collections in the year 2000. All voted in favor and the motion carried. CONSIDER APPROV .AL OF ARCHITEi~URAL CQNTRA~T WITH JEA ARC .IHTE~"F$ FOR .ESTIMATING COSTS FOR ADA COMPLIANCE: This item was relatively clear. Commissioner Robbins moved with Commissioner Mason seconding a motion to approve the architectural comract with JEA Architects for estimating costs associated with ADA compliance. All voted in favor and the motion carried. {Note: Executive Director Ashworth was unexpectedly forced to leave the meeting. As all of the remaining items were associated with Fred Hoisington of Hoisington-Koegler Crroup, Inc., Mr. Hoisingwn agreed to take minutes for the remaining portion of the agenda as well as to provide the staff reports.] LEGION SITE/TRANSIT HUB: Fred Hoisington explained that he is ~g commitments from a motel developer, Southwest Meu'o Transit Commission and the Legion to develop an integrated motel/transit hub complex on the Legion/lVlor~nson property, but that Southwest Metro has not made a commitment and that the access shown with a slip ramp from Highway 5 has not been approved by MnDOT. Mr. Hoisington indicated that commitments are expected on behalf of all parties, at least preliminarily, by January 27, 1994. Hoisington further explained that the project is not in a tax increment district, but the project itself will not generate tax increment to cover its own cost. It was indicated that there would be approximately a $1.00 write, own for all ten acres of the property which could amount to something in the range of $100,000 to $300,000. Hoisington asked if the HRA would be willing to participate to that degree and it was indicated that he should continue with the evaluation and come back to the lIRA at its January meeting to discuss the financial details of a variety of alternatives. liRA Minutes ~ber 16, 1993 Page 5 PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE PHOTO IMAGING; Fred Hoisington explained that this is at a CO/NO GO point in the process and that the bridge is funded in part by ISTEA ($280,000). He the end of 1994. Hoisington also indicated that SRF and Mayer, Scherer and ~ were selected to design the project. He described the two different all,natives indicating that thc local cost could be in the range of $300,000 to :r~X),O00. sUucture, thc degree to which it is vandal proof, and whether the mesh could be extended to cover the entire ~. Mr. Holslngton indicated that he would check with thc architect to make that determina~'on and that the Planning Commission would review it on January 5, 1994. HANU$ BUILDING; Michael Schroeder of Hoisington-Koegler Group briefly presented the Hanus plans indicating that bids have already been takm for site improv~~ but that no bids have been taken yet for structmal intprov~ts which include a new roof and painting of the exterior of the building. He explained that the original cost estimate for bufld~g hnpmvements would be exceeded by appro~y $60,000, vintmlly aH of which would include the replacement of the existing roof before the new roof is added. There was a real concern on the part of the t/RA that the cost differential is so gtmc The HRA suggesmt that Mr. Schroeder evaluate alternatives, assess the rent ~ and negotiate with Gat3, Kin to see if he would be willing .to pick up a large share of the cost. He will, needless to say, have to replace the existing roof at a later date and he may be willing to fund all or a portion of it now in order to get the other proposed improvements completed. The nltemative is to do nothing as far as the roof is concerned. The liRA suggested that this item be rescheduled to the January meeting to report on the status of the roof. APPROVAL QF BILLS: The HRA questioned the billing from Hoknes and Oraven and asked that a future staff report address that item. A second bill was qnestioned but not recorded. A motion wns made by Mn.~n and seconded by Robbing to appwve aH the _~lls as pres~ted. All voted in favor and the motion cazded. A motion was made by Chmiel, seconded by Boyle to adjourn the meeting. 'All voted in favor and the motion carried. CITY OF 690 COULTER DRIVE · RO.

The cons~on cost differential between the options is approximately $80,000 (cost estima~m enclosed). The pop-up lrelHses add less than $3,000, though the estimsU.,s do no refl~ that; the pier and abutments add $41,000 and the space requires a lars~ superstructure at an added cost of $30~.' On January 5, the Planning Commission 8ave strong st~pport to Scheme A including the trellises and large center pier. It was willing to forgo the air space between the bridge deck and the beam as a means to reduce the cost of the bridge. The Planning Commission's recommendation would reduce Scheme A by $30,~0- 35,000. Also, in response to some of the concerns raised by the HRA in Decem~, I enclose a letter from the architect, Thomas Meyer, addressing the issues of durability and security. Please review this information as part of your deliberation. As you are aware, we are under a very difficult schedule to get the bridge designed, bid and under construction by July of 1994. SRF is continuing to process our requests through lVlnlXYr and the Federal Highway Administration in antidpation that the design of the bridge will commence as o/January 25, 1994.

The proposal for Chanhassen to take the mesh to a height of eight feet seems to me to be a common aens~ response. If it is deemed desirable to fully enclose the bridge, there would be some added cost ss well as the necessity to do some redesign. It is my opinion that fury enclosing the bridge will give it a claustrophobic and fearful character which ia st odds with the c/ty's intentions. sincerely, cc Gere Seiger, SRF ¢:~empk93~41293.do~ CITY OF 690 COULTER DRIVE · P.O.

The plan shall include the following: ao be The applicant shall provide interior landscape islands in the parking lot areas. In particular, landscape islands measuring approximately 15 feet by 38 feet (two parking stalls wide by two deep) shall be provided for every other aisle of face-to- face parkinl~ (minimum of three interior planting islands). These islands i shall contain a minimum of three overstory trees and they shall be alternated with the lrce groupings to be provided at the t~ of the site. An aeration/'migation system consisting of perforated PVC pipe or other flexible robing in a looped system with at least two risers 'extending above the planttns surface shall be designed and installed as pan of these planting islands (see attached Figure 11-3). · ~ - . · ...: ' .: · replaced with oak trees (either VFnite Oak, scientific name Qucrcus alba, or Bur Oak, scientific name Qucrcus macrocarpa) in order to continue the tree planting thorne begun in the Oak Ponds townhouse development located north of this development. In order to more effectively screen thc development from residmces to the north, the trees should be placed closer to the top of the slope, as opposed to near thc bottom of thc slope where they have virtually no effect on screening. Spacing of conifers should be ten (10) feet to allow them to grow togethe~ in a more solid mass at a younger age. As at other areas of the site, these trees should Mr. Charlie James January 11, 1~4 Page 2 be placed strategically in groupings to increx~ tl~ effecfivenen as a buff~ and to lend a mo~ natural feel to the planting.

The landscape plan for the project should start with the pattern of street tree plantings at the streets, allowing for this project can rhea be placed in groupings within the setbacks or berm areas of the site. j~ The more formal placement of trees along the entry drives works to continue the feeling established by the City's uee plantin~ at the meec Ti~h .ter spacing of trees along the entry drives is desirable. Shrubs along the entry drives would reinforce views of the building and obscure bumpers and hoods of cars. Entries could be ~ at the streets with more colm-hzl plantings, creating a break in the rhythm of street tree plantings and providing emphasis for site entry points. Care should be exercised in spacing shrubs to ensure that complete cover of the planting bed is achieved at maturity. il At the perimeter of the parking .areas, the large expanses of sod from the ~ of thc curb to the property line should be planted with trees and shrubs in significant groupings. This should also occur between the wes~ly entry drive and the cast side of the detached co~ building and at the area west of the retail building. Conifers in these areas would be useful for the winter landacape. Financial guarantees shall be provided to insure installation and maintenance of landscaping. o. All planting areas must have an irrigation system installed. pe Benches and picnic tables shall be provided in the landscaped area west of the q, Additional tree islands be added to the lines that do not have them currently in the parking lot.

'This lot is one of four platted lots on Block 1, West Village Heights 2nd Additio~ The devel~ consists of a 64,132 square foot Byerly~s, an attached 35,700 square foot comme~OJ/~ center, and a detached 7,000 square foot bnilding anticilmed to be leased to a setvico-type company with primarily ~ uses.

Pedestrian areas and small "gathering places" are provided along the entire length of the center. The overall design and arcMtectm'al theme for the development is est~ by By~rly's and consists of brick exterior wails with "classical'* uses of axcbes, axcndes, barrow vaults, radius windows, recessed areas, and varied tmilding hcedes. Soldier courses win accent an vaults, recesses, and arches. The applicant proposes ~ incorlmrate design ~ to the Chanhassen gateway monuments and towers to integrate this project as part of the clownmwn area. Thc development embodies many of the design elmm~ts specified in the t6ghway 5 ' Corridor Study including a well designed and varied building facade, appropriate building scale and proportion, harmonious colors and bnilding accents, appmprim screening, screening This site serves as an gateway for people entering the cenu'al business district from thc north. As such, its acstbetic and architectural.f~amres are an hnpomnt component of thc image the in thc downtown area, and it is i?ortant that an anchor for the d~opment be of a high quality, and have an exceptional design. In desi~g the proje~ the app~t has specific~y, the dock tower inc~ in the retail section of the main building and the use developments relationship to City Hall, the applicant has held discussim~ with the city regarding the potential use of Lots I through 3; Block 1, West Village Heights 2nd Addition. Lot ~ is be/ng discussed as an expanded post ~ locatio~ Lots 1 ami 2 ~ ~ discussed for a po~ntial senior housing development. Included in the paS~ is a ~ conceptual plan for how these elements would fit into the design of this pmjeot. This pmjeot West Village Center November 23, 1993 Update December 7, 1993 Page 3 is within thc Downtown Redevelopment Distric~ and the applicant has at~'oa~hed thc HRA requesting tax increment funding revenues. Access to the site is provided via twc~ collector roadways, West ?Sth Street and Kerber Boulevard. West 78th Street has recently been realigned and expanded m a four-lane cross section. Curb cuts have been established as pan of the reconslruction of West ?Sth Street and are being utilized for the project entrances. A total of five driveways ate provided to the site as discussed under the access/parking section of this rept~ Drainage for the site is. pwvided through the city's storm drainage system; therefore, no on-site pretreatment is required of the development However, the developer has been assessed for his share of these' improvements. The proposed final grading of the site suggests m/sing the building pad for the detached commercial/office building approximately 10 to 15 feet higher than the existing ground elevation. This will result in the first floor elevation of the building being 18 feet higher than the intersection at West 78th Sue~ directly to the west. Staff is concerned about this elevation and is proposing that the building pad be lowered. The landscaping plan submitted, while generally meeting code requirements, was only preliminary in nature. Staff has enlisted the advice of a registered landscape architect,. Michael $chroeder, to review the landscape plan and provide appropriate recommendations to enhance this development. Staff has included these recommendations as pan of the conditions of approval. Staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit and site plan for the West Village Center with the condition that the landscaping plan be revised to include landscape massing, perimeter and boulevard median shrubs, the use of alternate ground cover for the steep slopes to the north, and interior parking lot landscape islands. The open area west of the retail center shall be provided with picnic rubles and benches to enhance the enjoyment opportunity of site visitors and workers. The grading and building elevation shall be reduced by a minimum of five (5) feet for the detached commercial/office building in order to be less significantly elevated from ~ roadway and to improve site lines and development massing. Finally, a sidewalk shall be required u) connect the retail center to West 78th Sue, et along the western access boulevard into the site. BACKGROUND In November 1986, this property was approved as part of a mixed use subdivision (West Village Heights 2nd Addition) including five commercial lots, one multi-family lot, and the realigned right-of-way for West 78th Street In addition, this property was rezoned from R- la, Agricultural Residence, to C-3, Service Commercial. In 1987, the lot was rezoned to General Business District, as pan of the revisions to the Zoning Ordinance.

Soldier courses will accent an vaults, ACCESS/PARKING The enti~ site proposes five access locafi~ three existing off of West 78th Street, and two new ones off of Kerber Boulevard. Information from a unffic review complet~ by Strgar- Roscoe-Fatisch (SRF) dated November 18, 1993, indicated that the proposed developmmt is consistent with the land use assumed for this area in there most recent traffic forecasts and therefore should not represent a sign/ficant increase in traf~ hnpacts to the subject area. The recent roadway improvements made to West 78th Street should accommodate this development proposal The site plan proposes a parking area where ve2ticles would be requited to back ont into the main circulation aisle, pnrti~ly in front of the ~-tafl space west of the ~mm'ket This is not a desirsble condit/on. These fourteen stnlh should be removed. Thc city assumes that the developer will also be furnishing and inmlling the appropriate u'affic control signs and pavement rrmrklngs throughout the site. Stops signs and stop bars should be provided at each exit onto a pub~ right-of-way. In the furore, Coulter Drive may be dosed or relom~ in conjunction with furore City Hall expansion. The northerly access on Kerber Boulevard would most lik~y line up with furore proposed street alignment to City Hall 'l'ne proposed turning radii ~t each driveway access along Kerber Boulevard, in staffs' mind, appears to.be too narrow (15 feet). 'l'ne turning radius along Kerber Boulevard is recommel~ded to be a minimum of 20 feec To accommodate large semi-trail~ combinations, the turning radius for the service drive aronnd -. West Village Center November 23, 1993 Update December 7, 1993 Page 11 the building in the northwest comer of the site should be expanded to account for a 50-foot wheelbase. The parking lot is proposed to be graded in a southwesterly direction. The parking lot grade is approximately 4%. Thi~ is the maximum grade that dry staff tec~ Access to the site is provided from We~t ?8th Stre~ and Kerber Boulevard. Both streets are shown as collector struts on the City's Comprehensive Plan. The driveways on West 78th Street were established as pan of the mad widening and realignment project. The most easterly driveway shall permit only fight in/right out turning movements. The second driveway is aligned with a median opening on West '/8th Street and will be _si_onnll _~4 when fie/ftc warrants are met. The conduit for the signalization is aheady in place for this light. A shared access with Lot 3, Block 1 is proposed at the existing signal/zed intersection which services the Target Center. An access easemeat between these two lots will need to be recorded. Additional access is provided from Kerber Boulevard. A lruck access is provided in the northeast comer of the site providing separate access to the loading and docking areas. A customer access is provided directly in front of the buildings via Kerber Boulevard. Access aisle boulevards are utilized to separate-heavy traffic areas from the main parking areas. Four distinct parking areas are provided including an employee parking area east of Byerly's, two customer parking areas to the south of the building, and a separate self- contained area for thc outbuildings. Municipal water service for the site is proposed to be extended from an .existing 18-inch watermain located along the west side of Kerber Boulevard via a 6-inch waterline through the site and reconnect to the existing 18-inch watermain along West 78th Street. It is assumed that the utilities witl~ the subject property will be owned and privately maintained. Fire hydrant spacing and location requirements shall be determined by review of the City's fire marshal. Since these improvements will be private, the City's Building Department will be performing thc necessary plan and specification review as well as inspections. The applicant will be responsible for applying for and obtaining the necessary building permits through the City's Building Department. Sanitary sewer service to thc site is proposed to be constructed along thc southerly side of the main building and the proposed retail office space. The main building will connect a 6-inch sanitary sewer to an 8-inch sanitary sewer on site. The 8-inch sanitary sewer will then be connected to thc city's existing 8-inch sanitary sewer at the southeast comer of the site adjacent to Kcrber Boulevard. The retail office space will connect a 6-inch sanitary sewer to West Village Center November 23, 1993 Update Decem~ 7, 1993 Page 12 that these utilities will be privately owned and main~ Thc applicant is proposing canhberms and landscaping along ~ Boulevard over the City's sanitary sewer.

LAND~CAP~G lot area contains approximately 8_q percent lanclsc~ areas. However, the uniform spacing docs not account for boulevard plantings c. ompiel~! or planned ax~ond the 1~ of the site that are being done by othc~ nor does the 1~ design provide sufficient interior parking lot landscaping; nor is pe~imet~ low level scr~ provided in the form of shrubs or bushes; nor arc tx~e mas~ or groupings included to provide definition and ~ to thc development. Staff is proposing that thc landscapi~ plan be revised to incm~orate the massing of plant materials in appropriate locations throughout thc site to add to the visual and aesthetic quality of the development. To this end, the city has contracted with Michael Schrocdcr, RLA, of the Hoisington-Koel~ Group, Inc. to perform a landscat~ design analysis for this development. Thc ~ecommendafions of this analysis are included as recordations for approval The applicant shall be reqnired to provide interior landscape islands in the parking lot areas. In particular, landscape islands meastn~g at a mininmm 15 feet by 38 feet (np~y two parking stalls wide by two deep) shall be provided for every other aisle of face-to-face parking (minimum of three interior planting islands). These islands shall contain a minimmn Quos alba, or Bur Oak, scientific name ~ maca'ocarpa) in order to continue the tree planting theme begun in the Oak Ponds townhouse development located north of this development. Tree spacing for buff~ evergreens along the nm'th perimeter shall be reduced. Perimeter and parking lot boulevard medians shah be provided with low level shrubs to help soften the appearance of the parking area. Almna~e ground cover such as smmc shnll be West Village Center November 23, 1993 Update Decem~ 7, 1993 Page 13 used along the steep grade to the north. The steepness of the grade precAudes the mowing of a sodded area. Ornamental trees should be interspersed within the landscaping boxes located in front of the building to provide architectural highlighting and to enhance the facade of the structure. Finally, a landscape box with shrubs shall be provided to the north of the trash enclosure located adjacent to the detached commercial building to ~ this enclosure from view. GRADING/DRAINAGE The applicant was previously granted an interim use permit ((hding Pennit No. 93-10) for grading the entire site. Thc entire site is proposed to be regraded to create the deahed development topography. The building pad located in the southwesterly corner of the site is proposed to be raised approximately 10 to 12 feet higher than the existing ground elevation. This will result in the first floor elevation of the building be approximately 18 feet higher than the intersection at West 78th Street directly to the west. Staff believes that this portion of the site can be lowered to improve sight lines. If the building is left at this elevation, it may look similar to the Rapid Oil Change building located on Highway 5. The site is proposed to drain to three separate ..drainage basins. The easterly portion of the site will drain to the southeast corner of the site and connect to the existing storm sewer at the intersection of Kerber Boulevard and West 78th Street. This swrm sewer eventually discharges into the city's stormwater retention pond south of Market Square. The central portion of the site will drain into two existing l$-inch storm sewer lines which then connect to an 18-inch line along the southern portion of West ?Sth Street. This storm runoff eventually discharges into a NURP basin behind the Target site. The western portion of the site will drain into a 1/i-inch line and discharge the storm sewer runoff into the newly created stormwater pond located west of Powers Boulevard on the Eckankar site. The site's stormwater is being pretreat~ in the City's stormwater retention basins theref~ no on-site stormwater retention ponds are being required. The parcel has been or is being assessed for these storm drainage improvements. h appears that additional catch basins may be necessary to accommodate the stormwalm' runoff from thc expansive parking area. The double catch basins near the West ?Sth Street access points may be more efficient if they are moved north near the landscaped islands. A small drainageway may have to be cut through the southern corner of the access road islands to effectively drain the stormwater runoff that could potentially pond within the L-shaped curbed island. The developer's engineer shall provide the city with detailed storm sewer drainage calculations and discharge rates for the entire storm sewer system on the site. The storm West Vilhge Center November 23, 1993 Update December 7, 1~3 Page 14 drainage calctthttions should verify that the existing storm sewer system will a/~m~nedate the additional runoff from thc site. The main drainage area in question is the ~ of the Target pond. All storm sewer lines shonld be designed for a 10-year storm event. MIS~LL~OU~ The development nfilizes a pan of Lot 3 and all of Lot 4, Block 1, West V'fllage Heights 2nd. The west line of Lot 4 is proposed to be al~ The.westerly access to the site will be across Lot 3. A cross access or driveway easement should be ~ to matnts/n ingress and egress to both lots. . Staff recommends that the app~t provide the tit7 with a secugty deposit in the ammmt of $10,000.00 to gnanntee boulevard restoration as well as the cmo cms onto the city street~ - another note, the retaining walls along the tear of the bnilding will most likely need a separate building permit. ~Ro$ION CQNTRQL An erosion control plan is required and should ~e ~ on the site plan and submitted to the city for review and approval prior to construction commoner Staff recommends' the applicant use the City's Best Management Practice Handbook for erosion control All disturbed areas are to be seeded and mulched or sodded immediacy after grndlng to prevent erosion and sedimentation. The back dope of the s/re lying north of the betiding appears to be approximately 3:1. Staff' teconunends a wood fiber blanket to inttibit erosion wlfile the seed is behg established. Protection around catr. h badns such as bay bales or silt fence is also rcquired until the pavement is instaned. If at aH poss/ble, ~nstn~/on of the site in stages is highly recommended to help reduce sedimentation into the city's LIGHTING/SI(~NAGE shall usc shielded fixtures and be directed away from public right~-~y and ndja~nt rcsidcntial property. Suffident lighting shall be provided to ilhnpin_n~ aH areas of the parking lot to provide adequate levels of safety. To ~ off-site hnpacts, light levels as measured at thc property line, shall not exceed one-ball foot candle. West Village Center November 23, 1993 Update December ?, 1993 Page 15 The development shall comply with City Code (section 20-1303) in the installation of development signage. One ground or pylon sign shall be permitted per street frontage. One wall business sign is permitted per street frontage. Wall signs shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total area of the building wall on which it is located and shall not exceed a maximum of eighty (80) square feet. The applicant is proposing that they come back for city review and approval a complete sign package for the development to be incorpom~ into a sign covenant to include such items as size, type, and lighting of signs and any deviations from Code. I~.,~G COMMISSION ~&TE The Planning Commission held a public hearing on December I, 1993. Af~ dosing the public input section of the hearing, the Planning Commission continued its discussion to ' Saturday, December 4, 1993. After discussion of the item, the Planning Conmfission recommended approval, with modifications and additions to staff recommendations, of the Site Plan and Conditional Use Pcrmit for the T. F. lames Company by a vote of four (4) in favor, zero (0) opposed, and one (1) abstention. The Commission was very impressed with the design and incorporation of so many architectural details. They were also impressed with the willingness of the developer to work with the city in the final design of the project. Planning staff prepared a review of the issues brought out at the December 1, 1993, Plaonin~ Commission meeting and has prepared the following: Issue: View of the project from the north. Staff has requested that the applicant provide additional cross sections of the view of the project from the property to the north. This detail, as well as examination of the site plans and building elevations, should assure the Planning Commission that all efforts have been taken to minimize visual impacts of this project from the property to the north including the screening of roof appurte~~ and dumpsters. The developer has provided parapet walls to help screen roof elements from view, providing landscape screening compatible and complementary to landscaping proposed for the townhouses to the north, and enclosing some mechanical equipment completely within the building. To further reduce'potential negative impacts from this development on the townhouses to the north, staff is adding conditions regarding the parking of refrigeration vehicles overnight, trash collection hours, and trash compaction equipment use. I~sue; Relationship of development plan to Vision 2002.

The one ~t that is mi_~ng is the use of "one or more pi~ roof elements." West Village Center November 23, 1993 Update December 7, 1993 Page 17 While pitched roofs are important to the City and are an element of the Highway $ study, there is no standard design theme in the central business district nor is it the intent of the City to require every development to incorporate all the same design features. It is even more imporlant that development in Chanha~ea be of high quality. This development is definitely a quality development. There have been other cases within the corridor where it has been infeasible or impractical for the use of pitched roofs, especially on large buildings. In these instances, the City has permitted minimal pitched roof elements. The question that needs to be answered in this case is whether the quality and design of the development as proposed is such that the use of a pitched roof element is not necessary, or is it more important that the City require every development to incorporate pitched roofs, whether they work in the design or not. Issue: Bus shelters. The applicant has proposed a transit drop-off~ick-up area. However, this was not highlighted at the meeting. Staff will be adding a condition that the developer work with Southwest Metro Transit in determining the location for the bus stop. .. Issue: Pedestrian and traffic circulation, parking. The developer has agreed to many of the concerns that staff has raised regarding these issues. Separate pedestrian access is provided from both Kerber Boulevard and West 78th Street The sidewslb location from West 78th Street was chosen because this driveway serves as an entrance for this development and for Target and because it will be signalized. The developer has also revised his plans to create an entrance boulevard from West 78th Street into the project directly in front Of Byerly's. This change eliminates backing movements from a major drive aisle. Parking areas are being proposed that provide convenience and accessibnity for site users and customers. Truck traffic has been segregated from the main customer parking area. Issue: Interaction of truck uaffic with park users. While there is always some potential for tracks to impact park users, this inlm'action should be minimized due to primary times of Iruck deliveries, primarily morning and evening hours, and the fact that trucks will generally access the site from the south and west. No matter what is developed on this site, commerc~ users will generate lruck traffic that may impact the park use.

ATTA( dated January 13, 1994. DD ~0 To: From: Subject: Date: Todd Gerhardt, Assistant City Manager Fred Hoisington, Planning Consultant Hanus Building Roof 1-13-94 I talked to Tim Stefan this morning (January 13) regarding roof alternatives and construction scheduling. Tim indicated that he has explored a wide range of options including a mansard roof which would suspend the roof on the outside of the existing building walls. He indicated that the proposed roof is by far the least expensive and most efficient way to deal with a new roof structure and that the number of penetrations should not be a problem. If Gary Kirt must see the other options considered, Tim has drawings of them. Regarding schedule, the current schedule is to build the roof before the parking lot is completed. Tim indicates that a certain amount of damage to the parking lot can be expected if the roof project is delayed. This will most certainly increase the bid of the roofer to reflect the potential parking lot damage and repair. It is my feeling that we should make every effort to resolve this matter this week and either proceed with the roof or abort it. My feeling is that Gary Kirt should pay for the existing roof improvements or we should leave the roof alone (not build the new roof) and let him deal with the problem after repurchase. ~ Use I Environmental · Planning/Design 7300 Metro Boulevard/Suite 525 · Minrmpolis, Minnesot~ 55439 · (612) 835-9960 ' Fax: (612) 835-3160 H~UILDING IMPROVEMENTS 1 - 1 1 - 9 4 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS COSTS 1.
