CC Minutes 2-22-10 Chanhassen City Council – February 22, 2010 Mayor Furlong: Very good, thank you. Thank you Chief. Chief Roger Smallback: Thanks. LOTUS RETAIL CENTER: REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL WITH VARIANCES FOR A 7,992 SQUARE FOOT RETAIL BUILDING AND AMENDMENT TO THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR LOTUS LAWN AND GARDEN, THTH LOCATED AT 78 WEST 78 STREET AND 19900 WEST 78 STREET. APPLICANT: CENTER COMPANIES, LLC AND LOTUS LAKE GARDEN CENTER, INC. Kate Aanenson: Thank you Mayor, members of the City Council. This request has a couple of different motions to it which I’ll share with you in a minute but first I’ll give you a location. It’s th on West 78 Street. This is a street that was recently resurfaced by the city. The property itself is in two jurisdictions. Part of it’s in Carver County and part of it’s in Hennepin County. All certainly under the jurisdiction of the City of Chanhassen. The two different counties. The Planning Commission asked that, at their meeting just to get a better understanding of some of the surrounding uses so I did a little bit more detail map on this and historically in this area there’s a little bit different type of land uses. There is some highway business in this area. There’s an office building adjacent, immediately to the west of this. Chanhassen Office Building. You’ve got the existing use of this site which is, has been a commercial landscape garden with retail sales. Next to that is an industrial building. Immediately to the north is the railroad tracks, which topographically separates and I’ll give you some topography on that and the apartment buildings in Chanhassen. Eden Prairie is to the north and to the east of this site and then you’ve got the Lyman Lumber yard. The R.R. Donnelly building. Medical office so you have a lot of office use so this is, it is a permitted use in that zoning district but the retails a little bit different component in this area itself. And this is one issue that the Planning Commission wanted to make sure they understood. Then the other issue that the Planning Commission had, what they wanted to understand, what were the sight lines for this and I’ll explain to you how this relates to the project and the site itself, or the layout of the site but the elongated buildings along the railroad tracks are actually the parking garages so there’s a 7 foot difference on the top of the railroad tracks which is providing a visual break and I’ll show you on the parapet wall of the building itself how that provides screening. So this building is visible along the street itself. It also has screening from the office buildings, or the office building or the industrial buildings on either side, and ultimately the piece that will continue to have the garden center will be built on too so that kind of gives you that context of how that’s sitting. So the request then is for an amendment to the conditional use and the conditional use is for the garden center which will stay on a portion of that property in Carver County. Then the site plan approval is for the retail building itself with a parking variance for the front to allow more parking in the front of the building, and I’ll go through those. So again this is the site how it’s being operated today as a garden center. There’s growing, plantings in the ground on the eastern side. The western side also has plantings but the building’s on that side. Those buildings will stay as of today those buildings will be used as, continue to be used as the garden center. So all the plantings that are on the other piece will be moved over and the parking. Both parcels will still share the same driveway so that will continue to be access. Even when ultimate 11 Chanhassen City Council – February 22, 2010 development of that property, as you know we try to limit those curb cuts so that will be, continue to be operating that way. So the CUP will be amended as we talked about when we look at these projects we want to amend the underlying CUP so there is a motion for that. To amend the underlying conditional use to change that. So the site plan itself is for 8,000 square feet. It’s a multi-tenant building. We know the one user right now. The Haskell’s liquor store. There’s potential for additional users in there and I will show you that with the site plan. So the parking, 58% is in front so there’s an 8% increase in that and I’ll spend a little bit more time on that in a minute. But there is some shared parking too so the garden center can use some additional parking. This building can also. There’s 3 that kind of swing either way but there’s peak hours on one or the other. They certainly can benefit from that but the parking that was shown on this site is for retail use. If there was a higher use they’d have to demonstrate that they can meet with parking and that may mean that the garden center would have to go away if they needed additional parking, but for right now when it’s all straight retail, it would meet that so what wouldn’t meet it? If it was a restaurant or something that, especially with a restaurant with a liquor store, then that would require additional parking. So again the sidewalk, when the survey was done for the road, this is an old, old plat so the actual property line goes out into the street so we measured from the back of the sidewalk so it meets all the setbacks but I just wanted to point that out for the record. So you can see how the property line between the two counties falls in and how the existing uses work. The parking in front of Lotus Lawn and Garden Center, that elongated piece in the driveway’s kind of their overflow parking there. I just go back to the sidewalk again. The Planning Commission also asked about continuity. That sidewalk is th continuous along that street. West 78. So with the high articulation the Planning Commission again, kind of going back to the siting, what would the surrounding uses, what would they see. There’s the parapet wall in front of the doors is 9 feet. The rest of it’s lower but the building, the HVAC units are in the middle of the building so those should all be screened. Those are spelled out in the staff report too. So that should provide the additional screening. The façade and transparency was another issue that was addressed as far as the principle building. When you’re going down that street you get greater views, or more pronounced views on some of the sight lines there. So the code requires that 50% of the first floor elevation that’s viewed by the public th shall include a transparency so the main street, West 78 Street is the primary entrance, so that’s where it’s got the most transparency and that would be that south elevation so that has the most window space. On the west elevation, well not the primary. It does have a lot of public view so that’s at 45% so that was an interpretation made there. Then the applicant has provided some spanrow glass to enhance this. Then the east elevation on the drive aisles adjacent to the office industrial building is predominantly screened by landscaping so that’s up against that industrial building. A heavy user and part of that too, the thought with that is, the additional landscaping will provide some noise attenuation as there’s a lot of truck movement through there. Then the back of the building there was some discussion on, with the Planning Commission too. This could, this is really kind of a storage area in the back there and you’ve got the railroad tracks again. Kind of that noise and visual barrier so depending on what was to happen in the future, there wasn’t a lot of additional transparency required. While there is some visuals, mostly parking, it’s really pretty much from the public screened. I do have the colors of the buildings too here. On this, if anybody’s interested in those but the colors I think are pretty true if you looked at the other ones there regarding the stucco and the variety of materials. So I’ll just read it for you. It’s brick, block and then EFIS and then maybe I should just go back to this really quick. Combination of the brick, the block, the EFIS incorporated into the design so we’re 12 Chanhassen City Council – February 22, 2010 happy with the mix of the materials. Again the higher parapet. The pronounced entrance. Those are all the things that we look at on a retail building. So the lighting and signage, there are the 30 foot poles with, they’re using the LED type lighting on those and then there will be sign bands as you can see on the building itself meeting the requirement and there will also be a message center that will be located on the site and that monument sign will have the message display center. 25% as we amended in that code so they will also have that too and that gives them an opportunity if there are sales and those sort of things, to provide that, that messaging. Kind of that flexibility that we just most recently built in. The loading and refuse area. This came up as an issue for the Planning Commission. They wanted to make sure that when they were unloading for the store, for the liquor store itself that they could make the turn movements so you can go behind there with the loading, where the trash is and provide that hammer head turn around back there so it does work. The Planning Commission wanted to make sure that that was consistent with the, with these overall site plan including what would be at the garden center itself. So one of the issues we did also point out was the parking where you put, allowed more parking in the front of the building. You can see to the back of the building is where the storm water is. If you recall the watershed district evaluated those stormwater ponds a while ago so these would be treatment, swale basins in front of that with landscaping and berming so in order to provide more parking in front where the primary entrances are, instead of the back, we felt that this made some sense to put the variances in and again if you look at that sight line along the street it makes, I think it makes it friendlier to be out front so we did support that 8% variance to accommodate the parking use and the future use of those instead of maybe the employees being to the back and that sort of thing so we felt that that made a lot of sense to have that because the primary entrances are all in the front. So there is a slight variance there which is part of your motion too. I did just briefly mention the drainage so it meets all the water quality. This in itself is a bio-retention project on the back to maximize that site. Currently how this property is being used, there is no pre-treatment so this is an improvement to the current site. So with that, the recommendation we have for you is to approve the amendment to the conditional use, which would now take away from the retail center, garden center. Approve the site plan and then also provide the parking variance with the conditions in the staff report and I’d be happy to answer any questions that you have. Mayor Furlong: Any questions for staff at this time? Councilwoman Ernst: I have a couple questions. Mayor Furlong: Councilwoman Ernst. Councilwoman Ernst: Kate can you speak a little bit more to the lighting on the eastern property line? So it sounds like it exceeds the one half foot candle requirement. Can we talk a little bit more to that? Where you’re asking them to revise the light plan. Kate Aanenson: Yeah, they gave us a photometrics and so if it’s over lit on the, I’m trying to see. Go back to the entire site here. Sorry. If you go back to the entire site. So just to make sure we’re not over lighting it, they gave us a plan that it can’t exceed the half foot candle, and that might be through the landscape. It might provide that screening so we just want to re- evaluate that. Maybe re-adjust where the posts are. Maybe eliminate one of the posts. Put them 13 Chanhassen City Council – February 22, 2010 in the right spot. These will also have lights on the building itself so just kind of re-evaluating that it’s not over lit. We certainly want the security in the back of the building but just to make sure that it meets those requirements. Councilwoman Ernst: Okay. Thank you. Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any other questions for staff at this time? Mr. McDonald then Councilwoman Tjornhom. Councilman McDonald: Do we know who the other retail businesses are going to be besides Haskell’s? Kate Aanenson: No, we do not. Councilman McDonald: Okay. Kate Aanenson: Again the parking was based on retail so if they want to do something else, then we’d have to kind of re-visit the parking. If they wanted to do a restaurant, especially a restaurant with liquor, that does require more parking. Councilman McDonald: Okay. Mayor Furlong: Is that issue spelled out in the conditions at this time? Kate Aanenson: Yeah we put it in the staff report. That the parking, let me just make sure it’s in the conditions of approval. Councilman McDonald: Is it part of conditions 1 through 5? Mayor Furlong: Is there a part in the staff report that we can just incorporate as? Kate Aanenson: Yeah. We might, if you want to be clear on that. All parking should be, I’m sorry. 1(d). All parking areas shall be provided with accessible…that wouldn’t be it. I think it’s probably best that we probably clarify that because in the staff report, we can just take that same language that says. Councilman Litsey: Page 11? Kate Aanenson: The parking requirements are predicated on the retail use. There’s approximately 3,044 square feet. If it was converted to a restaurant an additional 17 parking stalls would be required. I’m on page 11 of our staff report so if you wanted to make that. And you can just make it as simple as, if there was, if any of those spaces were converted to something non-retail, proof of parking is required. Mayor Furlong: Okay. And that would be in the. 14 Chanhassen City Council – February 22, 2010 Kate Aanenson: Site plan. Which would be. Mayor Furlong: Engineering? Kate Aanenson: Yeah. Yeah, you can put that in. Mayor Furlong: Engineering group? Kate Aanenson: Sure. Mayor Furlong: Would that be the right, probably 4(j). Mr. Oehme, does that make sense to you? Paul Oehme: That’s fine. Kate Aanenson: That’s fine. That’s fine. Mayor Furlong: Or is there a better spot? Kate Aanenson: No, that’s fine. Mayor Furlong: Okay. Why don’t you work up some quick language just for clarification. Kate Aanenson: Sure, I’ll do that right now. Mayor Furlong: Councilwoman Tjornhom, you had a question? Councilwoman Tjornhom: My questions were kind of on the same line as Councilman McDonald’s when it came to additional tenants and what was allowed in the BH district and what wasn’t. You know I guess I kind of had a bad experience a while ago with allowing something new and I didn’t necessarily get what I had thought I was planning on. Tell me a little bit about this, what kind of control we have over it. What kind of control we don’t have over it. Kate Aanenson: Well the zoning itself would be pretty similar to any other highway business orientated thing. It couldn’t be any restaurant because that would require more parking so. Councilwoman Tjornhom: Okay. No drive thru’s or? Kate Aanenson: No. No. The circulation doesn’t work for that on this right now because that would require a modification to that. There’s no window, no driveway put in place. If we were to look at that site plan, that’s not put in place on this. Go the other way here. There’s no driveway accommodations on that building. If there was a modification to that, we would bring that back to you. Councilwoman Tjornhom: Okay. 15 Chanhassen City Council – February 22, 2010 Mayor Furlong: Okay? Kate Aanenson: We’d be in that buffer between this and the Berquist building to the east. So it would not fit. Todd Gerhardt: But drive thru’s are permitted in the BH district. Kate Aanenson: They are but not at this location. It’s not approved as part of this site plan. Mayor Furlong: So it would be a change in the site plan. Kate Aanenson: That’s correct. The site plan agreement. Mayor Furlong: Requirement and that’s why it would come back to the council. Kate Aanenson: That’s is correct. Mayor Furlong: Alright. If there’s a change in use or an additional use, would that just be handled at administrative? Kate Aanenson: That’s correct. They would just, if it’s unfinished tenant space then typically they would apply for a building permit. The planning department would verify that it meets the conditions of the parking standards and if it didn’t then it would stop there and we’d make a decision on whether or not we wanted to bring it back to the City Council or they would not go forward with that use. Mayor Furlong: Okay. But if they were able to provide the proof of the parking with a use that was permitted with the zoning district then it would be. Kate Aanenson: That’s correct. Mayor Furlong: Then it, staff would likely approve it. Everything else...okay. Alright. Any other questions for staff at this time? The applicant is here. Good evening. If you’d like to come up and address the council or. Mr. Merriman, how are you? Ben Merriman: Very good, thank you. Mayor Furlong: Good. Ben Merriman: My name is Ben Merriman. I’m with Center Companies and we’re the developer of the site. Just quickly to go through the site. It’s a bit of a tricky site as you can see from the beginning as Kate outlined. The property lines are extended through the service road and actually into the highway right-of-way and so there was some accommodations made on both sides and working with staff to try and get the plan to kind of fit into this site. There is also a number of easements that run right through the middle of the property. It’s quite a large easement and it’s for utilities. Unfortunately not all the utilities made it into the easement so we 16 Chanhassen City Council – February 22, 2010 had to deal with that as well and that kind of came up at the last minute so we have been adjusting the building, the size, the parking. Everything to try and accommodate all these variations that came up as we were trying to develop the site and I think what we came up with was something that lays out quite well. It functions quite smoothly. We do have a couple of extra spaces in the front but that’s due to how we kind of made all these adjustments to try to make everything work. We have taken a look at the loading. Haskell’s will go through a tremendous amount of product and we didn’t want to try and have trucks just parked in the driveway so we made accommodations on the west side so that the truck can come in. It can turn around and then back into the situation we have a loading access point for the liquor store at the back of the building versus having it park right out in the middle of the driveway so we think we’ve got a design that functions quite well and I think our architect did a very nice job in designing a building that looks quite nice. From that I think staff’s outlined everything about the building quite well but if you have any questions I could be more than happy to answer them. Mayor Furlong: Good, thank you. Questions for the applicant. One of the questions that came up that I wanted to address a little bit and that was in the back of the building, especially security issues. The lighting came up and more light’s better but at some point it spills out and so we’ve got to you know be careful about it intruding. At the same time security’s an issue and so my question to you is what plan is in place from a security standpoint around the building. Ben Merriman: It is a tricky issue and it happens around every building. I mean if you try to put too much light to have the security and that takes care of the security part but then you’re spilling over into neighbors and so it does become a little bit tricky. It’s also hard to, from a photometrics standpoint to stop light. I think Kate made an observation that’s true. We have wall packs that we attach to the building and we can put those in certain areas and angle them to a degree to highlight certain spots. We also have pole lighting which is also very effective but also can spill out more into neighborhoods. So I think that some of this is going to be a little bit on site to a certain degree. We may get on site and take a look at it and say okay, with this landscaping we may change. We may add a wall pack here. We may move a light pole so there’ll be some adjustments I think made in the field to this and I think those adjustments also spill over a little bit into the landscaping on the east side of the property. There’s a long line of mature trees there and we happen to have an expert with, as part of the project. Mayor Furlong: Landscaping’s taken care of. Ben Merriman: Along with Jill that can, they can work through that process but we’ll probably make some adjustments in the landscaping on site as well as to the type of trees and shrubs that will be planted along that way. We’ve got a very large rain garden in the back that we think will actually work quite well for filtration so we’re kind of excited about that. So that it can look good and it’s very functional. Todd Gerhardt: Sounds like change order number 1 already. Mayor Furlong: I hear those happen. Very good, thank you for the applicant? Yes, please. 17 Chanhassen City Council – February 22, 2010 Jay Kronick: If I might just have the opportunity. Jay Kronick with Lotus Lawn and Garden, property owner. Just more, just general reflection. I remember over 20 years ago coming in and standing in this same room with this far fetched hair brain idea to start a garden center on a piece of what was essentially swampland and Todd’s probably the only other person in the room that was here at the time and he probably had some similar thoughts about how crazy this guy was. Todd Gerhardt: No. Jay Kronick: But it’s been just kind of fun to be part of the community. Rewarding. The City’s always been good to work with. I want to say thank you for that and look forward to this redevelopment and just kind of bringing another service and opportunity to… Thanks. Councilman McDonald: Could I ask you a question? You’re not going away are you? Jay Kronick: No. The garden center’s still there. That’s why we’ve got to revamped the CUP to make it work. Councilman McDonald: Okay. Okay, good. Mayor Furlong: Very good, thank you. We’ll bring it back to council then for comments, discussion. Any thoughts or comments? Or any follow up questions. Councilwoman Tjornhom. Councilwoman Tjornhom: I’ll jump right in there. Yeah I just think it’s going to be a great addition to Highway 5. When you drive into town I think it’s a nice looking building and I just want to thank the applicant for, for what they’ve done to make sure that they’ve provided a good product for our town and I welcome you to our city and I want to thank staff and the Planning Commission for everything they did to get it to this point and congratulations. I hope it’s, I hope it’s successful. Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Other thoughts and comments? Councilwoman Ernst. Councilwoman Ernst: Well actually I think they’ve addressed, as I was reading through the documentation, the points of interest that I had were really the parking, the lighting, the traffic. The trucks kind of bothered me but it sounds really like all that’s been addressed and so, and I love the design of the building so I like it. Mayor Furlong: Good, thank you. Councilman Litsey. Councilman Litsey: I’ll echo a lot of the same comments that have already been made about the time and effort that’s gone into this by everyone involved to make it work. I know it was very trying at times to try to get everything to work out just right but, and I know there’ll be some things in the future that we’ll have to provide some flexibility on too but architecturally I think it’s very appealing and as it’s already been stated coming into the community, it’s going to be a nice addition along Highway 5 so thanks for all the hard work. And I’m glad the nursery is going to be staying so. 18 Chanhassen City Council – February 22, 2010 Mayor Furlong: Very good, thank you. Mr. McDonald, anything else? Councilman McDonald: I’ll just echo the same comments. I mean yeah, it is a good plan. I’m glad the nursery’s staying. It’s good for that area. It will help us because that’s the first place you hit when you come into Chanhassen so this will be good. It starts to put something I think out there for the town to be so I’m pleased with it. Mayor Furlong: Comments well said. I don’t have anything to add. It’s, appreciate the work and effort and I think it makes sense to go forward here and it’s nice to, it’s nice that people are making an investment in Chanhassen, especially in these economic times so glad it’s working out and we wish you every success and look forward to seeing this building be constructed here in the coming weeks and months so thank you. I certainly stand for someone to make a motion at this time. Councilman McDonald: Before we do that, did you want to add a finding of 4(j)? Mayor Furlong: For a condition? Yeah do you have specific. Councilman McDonald: Well I’ve got some language if you don’t. What I have is for 4(j), current parking is approved for retail use with 64 parking stalls. Should future use include a restaurant, 34 additional parking stalls would need to be added. Kate Aanenson: Or you could just say for the record, I would say that too or you could say any use that goes into the site must be, meet the parking, follow city ordinance for parking standards. Then it’s more generic just in case something else was to come in. Mayor Furlong: It’s not just restaurant. Kate Aanenson: Yep. Mayor Furlong: Okay, is that? Kate Aanenson: Exactly, not just a restaurant. Just in case we have something that demanded more. Mayor Furlong: Okay. Councilman McDonald: Okay. Mayor Furlong: Mr. McDonald, would you like to make… Councilman McDonald: Okay I would make the following motion. The Chanhassen City Council approves an amendment to Conditional Use Permit #88-13 to eliminate the Hennepin County parcel for a garden center and to relocate the storage bins to the Carver County parcel. And the Chanhassen City Council approves the Site Plan for an 8,000 square foot, one-story retail building, plans prepared by SEH dated 12/30/2009 with an 8% parking variance to permit 19 Chanhassen City Council – February 22, 2010 58% of the parking between the front façade and the primary street for property located at 19900 th West 78 Street, subject to conditions 1 through 5 with the inclusion of 4(j) and the Chanhassen City Council adopts the Planning Commission Findings of Fact. Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Is there a second? Councilwoman Tjornhom: Second. Councilwoman Ernst: Second. Mayor Furlong: And the race goes to. We’ll let the minutes record who beat the second there. Unless you want to arm wrestle. That’s fine. Motion’s been made and seconded. Any discussion on the motion?
