PRELIMINARY PLAT
"The City Council approves the preliminary plat for Planning Case 08-01 for Crossroads of
Chanhassen as shown in plans dated received January 18,2008, and including the attached
Findings of Fact and Recommendation, subject to the following conditions:
1. Full park fees in lieu of parkland dedication shall be collected in full at the rate in force upon
final plat submission and approval.
Mr. Mike Korsh
March 18,2008
Page 9 of 17
2. The width of the sidewalk located west of Highway 101 shall be increased to 8 feet.
3. Encroachment agreements are required for any extensive landscaping or signage and
sidewalk proposed.

10:1 to 3:1
Flatter than 10: 1
Time
7 days
14 days
21 days
(Maximum time an area can
remain open when the area
is not actively being worked.)
These areas include constructed storm water management pond side slopes, and any exposed
soil areas with a positive slope to a storm water conveyance system, such as a curb and gutter
system, storm sewer inlet, temporary or permanent drainage ditch or other natural or man
made systems that discharge to a surface water.
6. The proposed stormwater pond shall be constructed prior to disturbing up-gradient areas and
used as a temporary sediment basin during mass grading. Diversion berms/ditches may be
needed to divert water to the pond and a temporary pond outlet shall be provided. The outlet
could be a temporary perforated standpipe and rock cone. The plans shall be revised to
include a detail for the temporary pond outlet.
7. The applicant shall locate all boulevard trees behind the sidewalk along the public street.
Trees are not permitted between the sidewalk and the street.
8. The applicant must submit a landscape plan with a complete Plant Schedule and all species
and quantities noted on the plan.
9. Resize the pond to the required dead storage. Lower the normal water level (NWL) of the
pond to 908.0. MnDOT requirements regarding the rate to the wetland and the bounce of the
wetland must still be met.
10. The proposed storm sewer will need to be adjusted. High points on the public street should
be located near the access points to allow better sight distance. Resize the pond to minimum
requirements to allow the county storm to remain in place. Rational method calculations are
needed for the sizing of the storm sewer.
11. The grading plan needs to be revised. The HWL listed on the plans does not match the
hydrologic calculations. The drainage calculations need to be reorganized. Revise the outlet
to the wetland so that the flared end section is adjacent to the wetland buffer. Show

horizontal separation between storm, sanitary and watermain. Any gas, electric, cable, or
telephone located outside of a public easement must be relocated.
18. Each new lot is subject to the sanitary sewer and water hookup charges. The 2008 trunk
hookup charge is $1,769 for sanitary sewer and $4,799 for watermain. Sanitary sewer and
watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building
permit issuance. All of these charges are based on the number of SAC units assigned by the
Met Council and are due at the time of building permit issuance.
19. All of the utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's
latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. The applicant is also required to
enter into a development contract with the City and supply the necessary financial security in
the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee installation of the improvements and
the conditions of final plat approval. The applicant must be aware that all public utility
improvements will require a preconstruction meeting before building permit issuance.
Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies will be required, including the MPCA,
Dept. of Health, Carver County, Watershed District and MnDOT.
20. A drainage and utility easement of 20 feet is required over the existing county storm sewer.
Remove the drainage and utility easements from the private utilities and cover these with
cross-access agreements.

must align with the lanes provided with the off ramp of Highway 212. Survey existing lanes
to ensure that the proposed lanes will line up with existing. The public street must be named
and the name found acceptable by the City. Modify the right-of-way at intersection of
Lyman Boulevard and the public street to accommodate the trail. No parking will be allowed
on this public street. Add no parking signs to plans.
23. Upon completion of the public street, the applicant shall submit a set of "as-built" plans
signed by a professional engineer.
24. Remove any objects placed in the horizontal sight triangles of the intersections. A
commercial drive entrance shall be added to each connection with the public road matching
City Detail 5207.
25. Collector and Arterial Roadway Traffic Impact Zone fees will be collected with the final plat.
The fee will be based on the commercial rate of $3,600 per acre.
26. The preliminary plat needs to be adjusted. Fix the text error for Parcel 3 and determine why
the boundary does not close.
27. Encroachment agreements are required before the construction of the signs within the
drainage and utility easements. Shift the pylon sign 10 feet south of its current location to
allow room for the pond access road.
28. All outstanding assessments must be paid prior to final plat.
29. A left turn lane leading into the Kwik Trip site located on Lot 1, Block 1, shall be added to the
Crossroads Boulevard design."

must have, at a minimum, 50% dominance of native plant species.
8. A NPDES Phase II Construction Site Storm Water Permit will be required from the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for this site. A Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been developed and submitted to the appropriate agencies for
review. The Carver Soil and Water Conservation District is to be invited to the
preconstruction meeting for the project.
9. It shall be noted on the SWPPP that all areas that will not be permanently stabilized within
the timeframe required by the NPDES permit shall be temporary mulched and seeded. A
note shall be included in the dewatering section of the SWPPP that states: "If construction of
the proposed temporary/permanent sediment pond is not completed prior to dewatering, the

location for the outlet of the proposed pond shall be evaluated to ensure that the proposed
discharge will not cause erosion issues. Reinforced erosion control matting may be required.
12. A stable emergency overflow (EO F) for the stormwater pond shall be provided. The EOF
could consist of riprap and geotextile fabric or a turf reinforcement mat (a permanent erosion
control blanket). A typical detail shall be included in the plan. The overland route from the
Mr. Mike Korsh
March 18,2008
Page 13 of 17
EOF shall be shown on the plan set.
13. Inlet protection may be needed prior to installation of the castings for the curbside catch
basins. In that case, all storm sewer inlets shall be protected by at least fabric draped over the
manhole with a steel plate holding the fabric in place.
14. The plans shall be revised to show a 75-foot rock construction entrance wherever construction
traffic will access the site. The rock construction entrance shall be constructed in accordance
with Chanhassen's Standard Detail 5301. Street cleaning of soil tracked onto public streets shall
include daily street scraping and street sweeping as needed.

dewatering)) and comply with their conditions of approval.
20. Make a notation in the SWPPP that the contractor with overall day-to-day responsibilities of
the project/General Contractor must be the contractor for the NPDES permit. The applicant
needs to have an individual qualified to complete stormwater inspection reports weekly, and
after each one-half inch rainfall event. A box will need to be placed on site for these specific
documents.
21. Cross-access and cross-parking agreements shall submitted to the City for approval and
recording.
22. Fire Marshal Conditions:
a. An additional fire hydrant (one) will be required near the car wash. Contact Chanhassen
