Re: The Moments of Chanhassen – Planning Case 2020-02
Dear Mr. Sarver:
This letter is to formally notify you that on April 13, 2020, the Chanhassen City Council adopted the following motions:
REZONING
“The City Council approves an Ordinance for Planning Case #2020-02 to rezone 3.5 acres of property zoned RR, Rural Residential District, to R-16, High-Density Residential District, and
adoption of the Findings of Fact.”
SITE PLAN APPROVAL
“The Chanhassen City Council approves a resolution for site plan consisting of a 65,000 square-foot continuing care facility with wetland and front yard setback variances, Planning Case
#2020-20, for The Moments of Chanhassen as shown in plans dated January 6, 2020, revised February 18, 2020, and includes the attached Findings of Fact and Decision, subject to the following
conditions:
Engineering
A turning movement analysis utilizing the largest anticipated design vehicle shall be provided to ensure there is adequate spacing and no conflicts within the required turnaround, the
driveway entrance/exit, and with the traffic control devices located on West 78th Street (raised median, pavement striping, etc.) prior to the issuance of building permits.
An updated existing conditions survey shall be submitted with revised plans that include the full extents of the construction limits for review and approval by the city prior to recording
of the Site Plan Agreement.
A minimum five-foot setback shall be adhered to at all times along the wetland buffer.
Revisions and updates to the erosion control plans and SWPPP shall be submitted to meet the requirements of the NPDES Construction Permit and Sec. 19-145 of City Code prior to the commencement
of grading activities.
The applicant shall submit updated plans and modeling to provide for the required abstraction and obtain a RPBCWD permit prior to the issuance of building permits.
The applicant shall provide an operation and maintenance plan (O&M) for the private stormwater BMPs. The O&M of private stormwater BMPs is required in perpetuity and must be approved
by the Water Resources Coordinator, or their designee, to be recorded against the benefiting properties, prior to building permits being issued.
It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure and submit proof that permits are received from all other agencies with jurisdiction over the project (i.e. Army Corps of Engineers, DNR,
MnDOT, Carver County, RPBCWD, Board of Water and Soil Resources, PCA, etc.).
The applicant will be required to enter into a maintenance agreement with the city for the proposed inside drop within the MCES’ manhole prior to issuance of building permits.
All proposed sanitary sewer lines will be privately owned and maintained, thus no manholes shall be located within public right-of-way.
Environmental Resources
The applicant shall remove the existing trees within the grading limits along the west property line.
Fire Marshal
Show any lower level exit doors and egress paths outdoors away from the building. This type of development cannot omit lower level exit doors.
Planning
All rooftop and ground equipment must be screened from views.
The applicant must prepare a lighting plan and include photometrics. Light levels for site lighting shall be no more than one-half foot candlelight at the project perimeter property
line. This does not apply to street lighting. The applicant has not submitted a light fixture design.
This fixture must be downcast and the light cut off at a 90-degree angle. The City Code requires all fixtures be shielded.
Approval of the site plan applications is contingent upon approval of the rezoning and variances.
The monument sign may not exceed 24 square feet in area nor be higher than five feet. The sign shall be located 10 feet from the property line. A sign permit is required before construction
of the sign.
Sign illumination and design shall comply with ordinance.
Recycling space and other solid waste collection space should be contained within the same enclosure as the trash.
Approval of the site plan is contingent upon consolidation of the two parcels into a single zoning lot.”
A Site Plan Agreement must be prepared by our office for recording; however, cost estimates for the improvements must be submitted to our office before the Agreement can be prepared.
If you have any questions, please call me at (952) 227-1134 or e-mail me at saljaff@ci.chanhassen.mn.us.
Sincerely,
Sharmeen Al-Jaff
