Re: Applications for Property at Lyman Blvd. and Highway 101
Dear Ms. Aanenson:
Accompanying this letter is a revised application in response to staff's January 22nd letter, along
with supporting documentation, revised concept site plan, and fee for property at the southwest
comer of Lyman Blvd. and Highway 101 first presented to the Planning Commission on
November 20,2007, and as discussed with staffin a pre-application conference on December 5th.
During that pre-application discussion, it was determined that Brighton would submit requests
for Comprehensive Plan Amendment and for review of a Planned Unit Development (PUD)
through the two-step process outlined in Chanhassen Code Section 20-517, General Concept
Plan, followed by the detailed Development Stage and preliminary plat reviews under Section
20-518 of the Code. Specifically:
. Comprehensive Plan Amendment
. Proposed Action: Modification ofthe Comprehensive Plan land use designation
for the property from "Residential Low Density" to "Mixed Use. "
. Planned Unit Development I Rezonine: - General Concept Plan
. Proposed Actions:
o A change of zone from A2 - Agricultural Estate, to PUD - Planned Unit
Development with an under-lying zone of BN - Neighborhood Business District; and
o Concept Plan review under the provisions of City Code Section 20-517 as detailed in
the accompanying application narrative and plans.

. Escrow Fee
. Funding in the amount of $2,400 is provided herewith for an independent review-we
assume--ofthe traffic report prepared by Westwood Professional Services, Inc., and
submitted with our initial application. We provided that report as directed by staff in an
e-mail dated December 17, 2007.
. Additional Fee
. The set back for Building 3 is 100 feet as required for the "BN" Neighborhood Business
District buffer yard adjacent to the residentially-zoning land to the west, per Code
Section 20-695(8)e.
. The primary access to the site is provided by the newly-constructed access which,
according to the highway construction plans, is less that 50 feet from property line to
centerline ofthe access. Thus, it is unclear ifthere is a need for a variance for the drives
and parking located between Building 3 and the western property boundary.
o If it is determined that a variance is required, an additional fee in the amount of $200
will be provided.
I want to thank Bob Generous for his guidance as we have "perfected" the application. As a
result, the site plan is significantly improved and the landscape area along Highway 101 provides
an even more substantial buffer for Springfield Subdivision.
If additional information is required, please let me know and we will respond promptly.
