Re:
Chanhassen Transit Station Final Plat Approval- Planning Case 09-18
Dear Mr. Simich:
This letter is to formally notify you that on December 14, 2009, the Chanhassen
City Council adopted the following motion:
"The Chanhassen City Council adopts the attached resolution approving the final
plat for the Chanhassen Transit Station with the following conditions:
1. Outlot B and Lot 1, Biock 2 shall be conveyed to the City.
2. Existing public and private utilities must be encompassed by a ten-foot wide
drainage and utility easement centered over the utility
3. The main drive aisle dimensions to the parking ramp shown on Sheet C200
must be clarified.
4. The parking ramp and surface parking area shall be privately owned and
maintained.
5. The sidewalks within Outlot B shall be maintained by SouthWest Transit.
6. The grading plan is incomplete. It must show the existing two-foot contours
on the north and west side of the proposed construction limits. The proposed
contours must tie in to the existing contours.
7. The proposed concrete spillway that would convey runoff from the western 25
to 50 feet of the parking lot on Lot 1, Block 1 must be eliminated from the
design as it would direct runoff across a sidewalk.
8. The hydrology calculations must be revised to include the drainage area to the
north, particularly the flared end section that discharges approximately 55 feet
north of CB B.

9. The developer's engineer and the City's engineering consultant must coordinate their
respective designs to ensure that the rate and volume control requirements are met.
10. Hydraulic calculations must be submitted with the final plat submittals.
11. The developer's engineer must work with the City's engineering consultant for the public
street project to ensure that the City's storm sewer design will be able to accommodate the
runoff from the parking ramp storm sewer.
12. A building permit is required for the proposed retaining wall.
13. It is the developer's responsibility to coordinate any small utility relocation with the
appropriate utility company.
14. The utility plan must be changed to reflect the following:
a. Show the directional flow arrows on existing and proposed utilities.
b. Adjust the line work so that the proposed storm sewer can be seen on the plan.
c. Show the connection to the existing storm sewer on the southwest corner of the
construction limits.
d. Include a note where the rain leaders connect to the existing storm sewer.
15. Full park fees shall be paid in lieu of parkland dedication and/or trail construction. The fees
shall be collected for Lot 1 Block 1 (1.45 acres) as a condition of approval for Chanhassen
Transit Station. The park fees shall be collected in full at the rate in force upon final plat
submission and approval. The current park and trail fee charge for commercial property is
$12,500 per acre.
16. All plans must be revised to reflect a continuous sidewalk along the north edge of Market
Street.
17. Approval of the subdivision is contingent upon approval of the vacation of the drainage and
utility easement.
18. The executed temporary easement agreement must be submitted before the final plat is
recorded."
