PC 1999 03 17CHANHASSEN PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MARCH 17, 1999 Chairman Peterson called the meeting to order at 7;00 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Craig Peterson, Ladd Conrad, Matt Burton, LuAnn Sidney, Kevin Joyce, and Alison Blackowiak. STAFF PRESENT: Kate Aanenson, Community Development Director; Bob Generous, Senior Planner; Sharmin A1-Jafl] Senior Planner, Cynthia Kirchofl] Planner I, Philip Elkin, Water Resource Coordinator, and David Hempel, Assistant City Engineer PUBLIC HEARING: GENERAL CONCEPT AND PRELIMINARY PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL FOR REZONING OF 6.39 ACRES FROM A-2, AGRICULTURAL ESTATE DISTRICT TO PUD-R, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT-RESIDENTIAL, PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL TO SUBDIVIDE 6.39 ACRES INTO 8 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND 20UTLOTS, AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO PERMIT DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE BLUFF CREEK OVERLAY DISTRICT. Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item. Steve Sletner, project engineer, presented the applicant's proposal. He stated that they were in general agreement with the staff report. He did request clarification regarding condition number 7 since the developer was not certain if they wanted to dedicate land or preserve it as conservation area. He also discussed the setbacks being established as part of the PUD and asked that the city consider permitting an eight foot side setback. He discussed the potential of reducing the storm water management fees since the development would be treating storm water from outside the development. He expressed concern about condition 18 recommending that the cul-de-sac grading be revised (lowered) and requiring that the front of Lot 6, the existing home, be regraded to direct storm water flows away from the house. He stated that there are currently no water problems for the existing house and the subdivision will actually reduce the amount of water flowing toward the house. He further stated that the proposed revisions may impact grading on Lots 1 and 2. He pointed out that sanitary sewer improvements benefit the property to the north and stated that it was discussed with staff the idea of having the city perform the utility extension as a city project which would then be assessed back against the benefiting properties. Roger Schmidt, abutting property owner to the north, said that the rerouting of the sanitary sewer probably addressed concerns he had regarding the impact of the utility extensions on the trees in front of his houses. He also stated that he thought that bigger setbacks from the north property line would be better. He questioned whether Outlot B had been looked at to determine if it was buildable in the future. He had questions about whether the grading in the north part of the development would impact the storm water drainage on his property and whether the existing trees would be saved along the property line. He was very concerned that the proposed Planning Commission Minutes March 17, 1999 development not impact the existing trees along his properly line or to the front of the development. His final concern was the impact of the proposed development on the existing utilities that serve his properly which he believes mn along the properly line. Dave Hempel, Assistance City Engineer, responded to some of Mr. Schmidt's concerns. Kate Aanenson, Community Development Director, addressed the issue of the enhanced environmental protection provided by the PUD. She stated that the city had been working with the developer to preserve a significant portion of the site. Given this preservation through the use of clustering, it is not then appropriate for the city to further constrain the site by requiring larger setbacks then would normally be necessary between compatible uses. Kip Hanson, a properly owner along the south boundary of the project, questioned whether the trees along the south side of the development would be saved. He further questioned whether the setback as set out in the preliminary plat would be sufficient. He also stated that there is currently a significant drainage problem in the area and asked if the development was addressing this. Bob Generous said that the setback as shown on the plan for Lot 4 was incorrect and that a 30 foot setback would be required around the perimeter of the site. Dave Hempel stated that the relocation of the building site away from the properly line would pull the grading limits away from the tree line. Alison Blackowiak said that she wanted to make sure that these trees are preserved and asked if there were any way to assure the trees would be preserved. Bob Generous replied that the tree preservation ordinance was in effect and the developer had shown these trees as being preserved. If they are later destroyed, then the developer would have to replace them at a 2 to 1 ratio. Dave Hempel said that a tree conservation easement could be placed over the perimeter of the site to let the future properly owners know that these trees were protected from removal. Kate Aanenson stated that it is usually the builders that impact the trees and that prior to the city permitting the developer to begin grading the site, tree protection fencing would be required to be installed. Ladd Conrad requested that staff review the tree inventory to determine the best way to preserve the trees on site. Gene Hermus, a resident of Trotters Ridge, asked about the impact of the sanitary sewer installation on the west side of Galpin Boulevard. 2 Planning Commission Minutes March 17, 1999 Alison Blackowiak wanted to make sure that any development construction activity would not take out the existing trails along Galpin and that if they do the developer would be required to replace them. Paul Palmer, the resident of the existing house on the site, stated that he had purchased the property around the house. He stated that his need was to permit sufficient property at the north of the existing house to be able to use the driveway to the rear and that based on the plans submitted, he had more land then he needed. He also said that part of his agreement with the owner/developer was to permit him to have access to the park land to the east. To do that, the developer would need to straighten out the south property line of Lot 6. He was also concerned that the proposed 25 foot front setback would not permit him to install a porch in the front of his house. He wanted to be able to install a 10 foot porch on the front of the house to make it fit in with the new homes in the neighborhood. Steve Sletner stated that they could solve two of Mr. Palmer's issues by revising the property lines around the house without any problem. He stated that he thought that there was sufficient area to the front of the house to permit the porch. Craig Peterson asked if there were any more comments and then brought the discussion back to the commission. He asked if there were any discussion. Ladd Conrad moved approval of the project subject to the conditions of the staff report and the addition of conditions 34, 35, and 36. The motion was seconded by Matt Burton.

Matt Burton had proposed a friendly amendment to the motion to permit a 15 foot front setback for Lot 6 to permit the installation of a porch. Ladd Conrad stated that he was uncomfortable granting a blanket variance, but that the applicant could present a plan to the Planning Commission for review. The amendment failed. The motion for approval passed 6 for and none against. Alison Blackowiak moved and Kevin Joyce seconded a motion to approve the conditional use for the development. "The Planning Commission recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit to permit development within the Bluff Creek Overlay district subject to the following conditions: 1. Outlot A, Lynmore Addition, is permanently preserved as passive open space." Craig Peterson stated that this item would be before the City Council on April 12, 1999. Craig Peterson introduced the next public hearing item for the Family of Christ site plan. 7 Planning Commission Minutes March 17, 1999 REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR A 17,140 SQ. FT. CHURCH FACILITY INCLUDING ASSEMBLY, CLASSROOMS, OFFICE FOR FAMILY OF CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH. Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item. Craig Peterson stated that he was disappointed in the presentation material provided to the commission. He felt that it was difficult for him and other members ofthe commission to geta true sense out of the development. Steve Edwins, SMSQ Architects, presented the applicant's proposal. He stated they were in general agreement with the staff report but had concerns about conditions 5 and 7. He agreed that the use of the shoe box fixtures was appropriate in the parking lot area, but he wanted the flexibility to use different fixtures in the pedestrian area or to use metal halide lights where appropriate. He felt that condition 7 was too detailed. While agreeing that the proposed color of the EIFS was a mistake and would probably be replaced, he felt that the staff review was too specific in its architectural recommendations. He felt that they had complied with the design standards approved as part of the PUD. Jim Sulerud, representative from Family of Christ Lutheran Church, stated that they were concerned with condition number 21 and believed that this was a requirement of the subdivision and that the subdivision plan showed the sidewalk on the east side of Stone Creek Drive. The Planning Commission discussion concurred with the chairman's original statement that it was difficult to get a true sense of the proposed site plan given the material presented. They felt that it was the city's responsibility to assure that a high quality project was proposed for the development. They wanted to permit staff and the applicant additional time to see if they could work out their differences regarding architectural details. Kevin Joyce moved and Ladd Conrad seconded a motion to table the item to permit additional refinement of the plan. The motion passed 6 for with none against. The item will be brought back after the applicant and staff work out their differences.

Kevin Joyce moved and Ladd Conrad seconded a motion to open the public hearing. A resident on Ibis Court stated that he was concerned the drainage water would increase on his cul-de-sac due to the new development. David Hempel explained that this development will reduce the amount of water that drains through the backyards of Ibis Court. Alison Blackowiak moved and Kevin Joyce seconded to close the public hearing. Ladd Conrad asked if the proposed development met the buffer ordinance requirements. Staff explained that it did. The ordinance required a 30 foot buffer strip and the applicant is providing that. Staff also explained that the applicant will be required to provide boulevard planting as required by ordinance. Conrad also directed staff to ensure a sidewalk is extended along A street. Alison Blackowiak stated that the applicant should design the buildings in a fashion that would minimize views of the loading docks from the residential neighborhood.
