LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION - MAKING:
The City's discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the
proposed project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements. If it meets these standards, the
City must then approve the site plan. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
PROPOSAL /SUMMARY
The City of Chanhassen is requesting site plan approval to
construct a 750,000 gallon water tower on the Minnetonka
Middle School West site. Utility services are a permitted use on
the site. The water tower will be located in the extreme
southwest corner of the property between the school building and
the south and west property lines. To the south of the tower are
single - family homes. West of the tower is the right -of -way for
Highway 41. The proposed water tower provides the storage
capacity needed within the high- pressure zone in the City.

Water Tower Site Plan — Planning Case 2011 -05
June 21, 2011
Page 2of8
This site was evaluated along with five other locations for the high zone water tower and was
determined to be the best location.
In November 2008, the city completed an update to the Comprehensive Water Plan. As part of the
plan, a storage analysis was performed that recommended additional storage be constructed in the
existing high service zone. The high zone water area has seen significant growth in recent years,
which has driven the need for additional storage capacity.
The city has two main pressure zones. The low zone area services about 88% of the current city
demand. Two water towers service this area along with the east water treatment plant. The high
zone area is serviced by two wells and a 200,000 Melody Hill Tank located next to Minnetonka
Middle School West. The tower was constructed in 1971. The population of Chanhassen in 1970
was 4,875. Today the population of Chanhassen is 22,952. The high zone is mainly in a residential
service area which has seen significant growth in the past 15 years. Currently, the demand in the
high zone area can be as little as 100,000 gallons a day during the winter months and as much as
1,800,000 during peak summer time usage (2007).
Since the high zone does not have much storage capacity, during high demand periods the tank
cycles continuously, which causes many problems. The high cycling causes condensation to form
on the tank which accelerates tank corrosion. The continuous cycling also puts additional stress on
pumps and motors needed to supply the tower and is a very inefficient way to supply water. Also,
the undersized storage facility leaves little time for utility staff to respond to power outages and start
auxiliary power generation. In addition, the tank at this time is undersized for fire flow design.
One of the most critical roles that a water distribution system provides, especially in urban areas,
is fire protection. The Insurance Services Office (ISO) provides a score for municipalities based
on their ability to meet industry standards for required fire flow based on building size,
occupancy class, construction type, etc. Lower scores indicate better ability of systems to
suppress fires and typically result in lower insurance rates for commercial and industrial
property. The standard required available fire flow that ISO has is 3,500 gpm for 3 hours. Since
this is mostly a residential area and all the commercial buildings are sprinkled, the fire marshal
recommends using a 2,750 gpm for two -hour fire flow.
Water storage capacity should be adequate to sustain normal system demands as well as fire
protection operations. The existing Melody Hill Tank is not capable of providing 2,750 gpm as
recommended. In addition, the amount of storage required to provide two hours of 2,750 gpm of
available fire flow for full build -out is shown to be approximately 725,000 gallons. This volume
gives the city capacity to supply a 2,750 gpm fire flow rate for two hours while concurrently
meeting projected maximum day demands on the system. The standard tank size for this demand is
750,000 gallons.
Staff is recommending approval of the site plan for a 750,000 gallon water tower subject to the
conditions of this report.

BACKGROUND
On January 24, 2011, the Chanhassen City Council approved an interim use permit to permit site
grading for the tennis courts at Minnetonka Middle School West (Planning Case #2011 -01).
On February 27, 2006, the Chanhassen City Council approved
Interim Use Permit #2006 -03 to permit the grading of
approximately 3,400 cubic yards for an infiltration basin and
drainage swales to reduce downstream erosion and
sedimentation along Highway 41 (Planning Case #2006 -03).
On June 9, 2003, the Chanhassen City Council approved
Interim Use Permit #2003 -02 to permit grading in excess of
1,000 cubic yards to install a storm water pond and
reconfigure the bus circulation route and parking area on the
north side of the school.
GENERAL SITE PLAN /ARCHITECTURE
The height of the 750,000 gallon water tower is approximately 170 feet to the very top of the
tower. Besides the tower, site improvements include a bituminous driveway and
fencing around tank; grading of the site to raise the location of the proposed
tower to reduce the height of the tower; relocation of the storm water retention
pond; relocation of storm water piping/outlet structure; relocation of water
service to the school building; relocation of approximately 500 feet of overhead
power lines; and installation 200 feet of 16 -inch water main to TH 41.
The tank bowl will be a steel shell painted sky blue to minimize the visual impact
of the structure with the green Chanhassen Maple Leaf. The tank diameter is 60
feet. The pedestal will either be a steel shell painted sky blue or a composite
concrete material that will be stamped with architectural patterns to mimic blocks
or brick. The pedestal diameter shall be 28 -32 feet.
LIGHTING /SIGNAGE
Lighting shall be limited to requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration
and a single light above the overhead door. The light fixture shall have a 90-
degree cut -off angle and be shielded from off -site view. The only signage on the water tower
will be the Chanhassen Maple Leaf

Page 4 of 8
ACCESS
Access to the proposed water tower will be by the existing middle school access on the east side
of Highway 41. A 12 -foot wide driveway is proposed from the southwest side of the existing
pavement.
EROSION CONTROL
1. If the total disturbance exceeds one (1) acre in area, an NPDES General Stormwater Permit
for Construction Activities will be needed from the MPCA.
2. If an NPDES Permit is needed, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will need
to be prepared and submitted for review and the conditions of the permit must be met.
3. The outlet to the right -of -way for Minnesota Trunk Highway 41 will need to be stabilized
immediately upon connection.
4. The pond must be protected from sedimentation to the greatest extent practicable during
construction and all sediment deposited during construction must be removed to return the
pond to the design conditions. A record drawing shall be prepared showing this condition
has been met.
5. The plan must address the comments from the Carver County SWCD.
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
1. The proposed conditions will result in a decrease in runoff rate for the 2, 10 and 100 -year
events and an increase in total phosphorus and suspended solids removal.
2. The underdrain bedding material shall be washed river rock wrapped in a high -flow filter
fabric.
3. According to the Carver County Soil Survey and double ring infiltrometer tests performed by
the School District, this site may well be conducive to infiltration. To this end an additional
hold down should be constructed below the underdrain such that the feature is a
filtration/partial recharge feature as described in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual.
4. Eliminate CBMH 109 and bulkhead the outlet from the upstream structure to the west. Move
CBMH 107 to the east into the location of the existing manhole. Replace this structure as
needed and outlet to the pond. The end result will be a single outlet point into the first cell
near the pinch point of the 1035 -foot contour.
GRADING
Based on the consultant's calculations, over 5,000 cubic yards of loose material will be cut from
the site, with almost 2,900 cubic yards of loose material being filled within the site. Excess

material will be removed from the site. Haul routes must be established for the trucking of
material off the site.
A tiered retaining wall system is proposed on the west
side of the proposed tower. A building permit is
required for the retaining walls since they will be at
least four feet high. The retaining walls must be
designed by an engineer registered in the State of
Minnesota.
The following additional information must be shown
on the grading plan:
`M G.. /
a) Show the top and bottom of wall elevations.
b) Provide more spot elevations along the driveway and the area to the north of the driveway,
ensuring that minimum I% grade is achieved on paved surfaces and minimum 2% grade is
achieved in the green area.
LANDSCAPING/TREE PRESERVATION
There are existing trees at the edge of the grading limits that are proposed to be preserved. Staff
recommends that tree protection fencing be installed at the edge of the grading limits.
MISCELLANEOUS
A building permit is required. Geotechnical investigation and report required. All plans must be
prepared and signed by design professionals licensed in the State of Minnesota. Portions of
retaining wall(s) exceeding four feet in height must be professionally designed. The owner
and/or their representative shall meet with the Inspections Division to discuss plan review and
permit procedures.
UTILITIES
Some private storm sewer and sanitary sewer lines must be relocated due to the proposed
grading. A plumbing permit is required for the proposed sewer relocations.
A 16 -inch trunk watermain is proposed between the new water tower and the existing trunk
watermain within the east side of the Highway 41 right -of -way. Contact the Utility Department
at 952- 227 -1300 a minimum of 48 hours before tapping into the existing watermain.
MnDOT permits are required for the installation of the proposed watermain and storm water
pond outlet pipe.

Re: Water Tower project
The SWCD has reviewed the above mentioned preliminary development plan for erosion and sediment
controls and water quality benefits. Following you will find my comments:
-A National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit will be required for this development.
-The General Contractor who has overall charge of day to day operations needs to be on the NPDES
Permit as the contractor. The Owner and or General Contractor have the responsibility for the NPDES
permit, not the grading contractor. The owner must have an individual qualified to complete stormwater
inspections. A box will need to be placed on site for these specific documents, and or kept in the project
office.
The Carver SWCD will be completing inspections of the rules of the NPDES permit and city ordnances
to see if the owner and or contractor are in compliance with the permit. This permit is a self
maintained permit. Guidelines of the permit can be found at the following web site:
htti)://www.pea.state.mn.us/water/stormwater/storrnwater-c.html
A Stormwater Pollution Preventive Plan ( SWPPP) will need to be developed for this site as it will
have over 1- acre of disturbance.
General Comments:
The existing drainage from the 5+ acres of mostly impervious surfaces is very flashy and has
caused sever erosion issues in the past at this site. The SWPPP will need to address how the
construction of the water tower and the building of the new stormwater pond will be sequenced in
order to handle the existing stormwater that drains to this spot. A plan will need to be developed
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
- that lays out the proper sequencing for the contractor to implement to create a protection for them
and the city, as the downstream receiving waters is a shallow lake.
- Perforated pipe needs to be documented. If drain tile will be PVC, the PVC pipe will need have
additional holes drilled on site to meet the requirements of a typical plastic drain tile, and or order
the equivalent. Traditional PVC drain tile only has holes drilled at the 4 — 8 o'clock.
- Perforated drain tile should be placed off the bottom at an elevation of 1033.5 to allow for volume
water retention storage for plants. The information I received did not have planting materials and
I'm assuming the plants will be water loving plants that can handle both wet and dry conditions.
If this is the case, by placing the tile on the bottom, conditions of the filtration media will become
quite dry, verses placing the tile about a foot off the bottom.
- The perforated tile should be placed in washed river rock and or equivalent instead of washed
sand.
Please include me with any correspondences of changes to this original concept plan, and also of any pre -
construction meetings prior to start of construction.
