3
The applicant is requesting approval of an Interim Use Permit for the operation of a tree nursery on the
property.
BACKGROUND
On June 13, 2022, the Chanhassen City Council approved the Final Plat for Erhart Farm creating 19
single-family lots, eight outlots, and public right-of-way. The nursery stock will be grown on Outlots E,
F, G and H, Erhart Farm.
The applicant has been growing trees on the property since the 1980s. More recently, the applicant has
applied for and received a nursery stock grower certificate from the Minnesota Department of
Agriculture.
DISCUSSION
Wholesale nurseries require interim use permit approval from the city. To allow for planned and orderly
development, the city finds it necessary to regulate the expansion or intensification of these uses and to
provide standards for any future retail nursery or garden centers. It is the intent of these standards to
regulate the creation and the expansion of existing nurseries. The creation or expansion of these uses
will be allowed only by interim use permit by the city council.
The applicant does not intend to permit the general public to access the nursery. Rather, all trees are
sold directly to tree spade operators who remove them on-site via their tree spade equipment and depart
immediately once removed with ingress/egress being had from W 96th Street.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the interim use permit to operate a wholesale
nursery (Oak Creek Nursery) for ten (10) years or development of the site, whichever comes first, and
adoption of the findings of fact and recommendation.

BACKGROUND
On June 13, 2022, the Chanhassen City Council approved the Final Plat for Erhart Farm creating 19
single-family lots, eight outlots, and public right-of-way:

Page 3 of 9
On October 25, 2021, City Council approved a grading development contract for the project to
permit the developer to initiate site grading and tree removal in preparation for the infrastructure
improvements for the development.
On August 9, 2021, City Council approved:
The ordinance rezoning the development from Agricultural Estate District (A2) to Single-Family
Residential District (RSF) (Blocks 1 and 2);
Preliminary plat with variances for street width, front yard setback (Lot 1, Block 1), wetland
setback (Lot 1, Block 1) and street frontages (Lots 3 thru 9, Block 1).
On January 25, 2021, City Council approved the Interim Use Permit to allow site grading to
create an open water wetland. The project began in 2021 winter, but due to warm weather, could
not be completed until 2022.
On August 14, 2020, the City Council approved the adjustment to the Bluff Creek Overlay
District (BCOD) Primary Zone boundary to encompass the additional 3+ acre area adjacent to
Highway 212 in Outlot H. (Planning Case #2020-13)
On July 7, 2020, the City of Chanhassen received a complete Wetland Delineation Report for the
property and a Notice of Application was sent on July 15, 2020. The on-site Technical
Evaluation Panel (TEP) was held on July 29, 2020 in order to review the wetland boundaries and
types. The wetland types that were delineated on the property were Types 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. The
TEP and Local Government Unit (LGU) concurred with the boundaries and types and the Notice
of Decision was issued on August 8, 2020.
As part of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan adopted on February 10, 2020, the city approved a three
acre Land Use amendment from Residential Low Density to Office in the western portion of the
parcel encompassing the area adjacent to Highway 212 in Outlot H.
In 2008, as part of the city’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the city approved a Land Use
amendment of the westerly 10 acres of the property from Residential-Low Density to Office.
On October 23, 2006, City Council approved Wetland Alteration Permit #06-32 for the
construction of an access road and stormwater pond. The wetland mitigation for this is located in
Outlot G north of the large wetland complex
On July 10, 1995, City Council approved the preliminary and final plat of Butternut Ridge
Addition, Subdivision #95-9, creating one lot and one outlot. This subdivision created the 2½-
acre home site on the property and kept the balance of the site for the owner’s personal use, tree
growing and future development.

SITE CONSTRAINTS
Bluff Creek corridor
This property is located within the Bluff Creek Overlay District in the northwesterly portion of
the property. At this time, no development is proposed near the Bluff Creek primary zone.
The City of Chanhassen established the Bluff Creek Overlay District by ordinance in 1998 to
protect the Bluff Creek Corridor, wetlands, bluffs, and significant stands of mature trees through
the use of careful site design and other low-impact practices. This parcel is partially encumbered
by the Bluff Creek Overlay District. Section 20-1255 of the Chanhassen City Code requires a
conditional use permit for all development within the Bluff Creek Corridor.
The Bluff Creek Corridor primary zone is located on the property. The Primary Corridor is
designated open space. All structures must meet a 40-foot structural setback from the Primary
Corridor boundary as required by Chanhassen City Code. In addition, no grading is allowed
within the first 20 feet of the Primary Corridor.
Wetland Protection
There are numerous wetlands located on the parcel. The proposed use of the property as a
nursery should not impact these wetlands.
Bluff Protection
There are bluffs on the western portion of the property. The tree growing area along Powers
Boulevard is separated from the balance of the parcel by a bluff and the Bluff Creek primary
zone.
8
Page 5 of 9
Shoreland Management
The property is not located within a shoreland protection district.
Floodplain Overlay
This property is not located within a federally designated floodplain.
ACCESS
Access to the property is primarily off Eagle Ridge Road and West 96th Street. Outlot H is
accessible via Powers Boulevard.
GRADING, DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL
There is no grading being proposed as part of the wholesale nursery.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the Interim Use Permit (IUP) submittal for 775 W
96th Street (“Oak Creek Nursery”). These comments are divided into two categories: general
comments and proposed conditions. General comments are informational points to guide the
applicant in the proper planning of public works infrastructure for this proposal, to inform the
applicant of possible extraordinary issues and/or to provide the basis for findings. Proposed
conditions are requirements that Engineering and Public Works recommends be formally
imposed on the submittal in the final order. Note that references to the “City Standards” herein
refer to the City of Chanhassen Standard Specifications and Detail Plates.
General Comments/Findings
1. Any and all plans submitted with this application have been reviewed only for the
purpose of determining their feasibility and providing utility and transportation facilities
for the IUP in accordance with City Standards. A recommendation of IUP approval does
not constitute final approval of details, including but not limited to alignments, materials
and points of access, connection or discharge, that are depicted or suggested in the
application. The applicant is required to submit updated plans for the project, as
applicable. The City of Chanhassen Engineering and Public Works Departments will
review plans, in detail, when they are submitted and approve, reject or require
modifications to the plans or drawings based upon conformance with City Standards, the
Chanhassen Code of Ordinances and the professional engineering judgment of the City
Engineer.
2. It is the opinion of the Engineering Department that the proposed IUP can be developed
in accordance with the requirements of the Chanhassen Code of Ordinances (as it pertains
to Engineering and Public Works requirements) and City Standards, provided it fully
addresses the comments and conditions contained herein and can be approved.

3. The applicant is applying to receive an IUP for a wholesale nursery as required under
Section 20-269 of City Ordinance on the property located at 775 W 96th Street (“Oak
Creek Nursery”). The applicant’s narrative states that tree growing operations and sales
of trees have been occurring since the mid-80s on the property. All trees are sold directly
to tree spade operators who remove them on-site via their tree spade equipment and
depart immediately once removed with ingress/egress being had from W 96
th Street; staff
recommends this route continue to be used. There is a well on site which supplies any
needed watering to the growing areas so there is no need or request made for municipal
water services. The applicant provided a site plan, dated December 19, 2022, which
depicts the growing areas along with their proposed accesses. Based on the applicant’s
narrative it would appear that the requirements of Section 20-269(b) are met, however
additional details and construction plans are required regarding the accesses to Oak Creek
Nursery and its growing areas.
a. Section 20-269(b)(1) requires that wholesale nurseries be located on a collector or
arterial road; the property meets this requirement as it abuts Eagle Ridge Road and
Powers Boulevard, a city collector road and a Carver County minor arterial road,
respectively. Eagle Ridge Road is planned to be extended as a result of the “Erhart
Farm” subdivision approved on June 13, 2022, by City Council. The extension is
tentatively scheduled to occur in 2023. The extension will provide connectivity
between Eagle Ridge Road and W 96th Street, and eventually will continue west
connecting to Powers Boulevard. The proposed access point to Oak Creek Nursery as
depicted on the provided site plan would be had from the northwest leg of the future
intersection of Eagle Ridge Road and W 96th Street. However, no further details
regarding how the access will interface with the public right-of-way and future
roadway extension were provided with the application. The city has standard details
regarding typical accesses, e.g. commercial or industrial driveway accesses. These
standards account for how accesses manage drainage, tracking of sediment and other
materials out into the road, pedestrian safety, durability and approved material, etc. In
order to ensure adequate management and interface with the public right-of-way is
being had, the applicant must provide these details for review and approval to the
city in the form of construction plans. See proposed condition 1 and 2.
LANDSCAPING
Nursery Stock Certification Requirements
(a) All nursery stock growing at sites identified by nursery stock dealers or nursery stock
growers and submitted for inspection must be inspected by the commissioner within the previous
12 months prior to sale and found apparently free from quarantine and regulated nonquarantine
pests as well as significantly dangerous or potentially damaging plant pests.

MISCELLANEOUS
The interim use permit shall be approved for a period of 10 years from the date of City Council
approval. The applicant will need to request a formal extension 60 days prior to the expiration
date of the interim use permit.
The Interim Use Permit shall terminate on the happening of any of the following events,
whichever first occurs:
(1) The date stated in the permit;
(2) Upon violation of conditions under which the permit is issued;

(4) Upon the subdivision of the property or the alteration of the lot lines of the property.)

allow for planned and orderly development, the city finds it necessary to regulate the
expansion or intensification of these uses and to provide standards for any future retail
nursery or garden centers. It is the intent of this section to promote the health, safety,
general welfare, aesthetics, and image of the community by regulating the creation and
the expansion of existing retail nurseries and garden centers. The creation or expansion of
these uses will be allowed only by interim use permit by the city council.

permitted until a particular date, until the occurrence of a particular event, or until
zoning regulations no longer permit it. Prior to the permit expiring, the applicant
may request an extension to the interim use permit by submitting a new
application. The renewal application will be subject to all city ordinances
including any new ordinances enacted after the original approval.
* The termination date shall be 10 years from approval, due to violation of
conditions of approval or with the subdivision of the property.
