1 Sign Variance ReMax Bldg.PROPOSAL: LOCATION: APPLICANT: CITY ~- PC DATE: May 21, 2002 CC DATE: REVIEW DEADLINE: 7-1-02 CASE #: 2002-5 Sign By: A1-Jaff STAFF REPORT ,,, Variance to allow a second monument sign on an office building 7811 Great Plains Boulevard, east of Great Plains Boulevard, South of old Village'- Hall and north of the Twin Cities and Western Railroad Den-il Burger Re/Max Action West 7811 Great Plains Boulevard Chanhassen, MN 55317 (952)294-8500 PRESENT ZONING: 2020 LAND USE PLAN: Office Institutional, OI Commercial ACREAGE: 1.04 acres l.tJ DENSITY: SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Sign Variance to allow a second wall mounted sign on an office building. Staff is recommending approval with conditions. Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: The City's discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the proposed project meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for variance. The City has a relatively high level of discretion with a variance because of the burden of proof is on the applicant to show that they meet the standards in the ordinance. REMAX Sign Variance May 21, 2002 Page 2 BACKGROUND: On May 29, 2001, the City Council approved Site Plan 2001-4 for an 8,450 square foot office building with a parking lot setback variance to allow a 5 foot setback along the north and a 10 foot setback along the east side of the property, as shown on the plans dated received May 15, 2001, subject to conditions. One of these conditions pertained to signs and read as follows: One ground low profile business sign is permitted per lot. The area of the sign may not exceed 24 square feet and a height of 5 feet. Also, one wall mounted sign per business shall be permitted per street frontage. The total display area shall not exceed 11% of the total area of the building wall upon which the signs are mounted. No sign may exceed 90 square feet. All signage must meet the following criteria: a. All businesses shall share one monument sign per lot. Monument signage shall be subject to the monument standards in the sign ordinance. b. Ail signs require a separate permit. c. The signage will have consistency throughout the development and add an architectural accent to the building. d. Consistency in signage shall relate to color, size, materials, and heights. e. No illuminated signs within the development may be viewed from the residential section south of the site. f. Back-lit individual letter signs are permitted. g. Only the name and logo of the business occupying the unit will be permitted on the sign. h. The applicant must obtain a sign permit prior to erecting the signs on site. A detailed sign plan incorporating the method of lighting, acceptable to staff shall be provided prior to requesting a building permit. REMAX ACTION WEST has one wall-mounted sign along the south elevation. This sign is visible fi'om northbound traffic on Great Plains Boulevard. The City owns a monument sign located on the subject site along Great Plains Boulevard. REMAX Sign Variance May 21, 2002 Page 3 ANALYSIS The applicant has been working with staff to find a suitable location for a monument sign. The site has a peculiar shape and is situated away from streets. Proposed Sign Location A city owned parking lot separates the site from Great Plains Boulevard and a cemetery, church and old Village Hall is located between the subject site and West 78th Street. Vegetation surrounds the site, which further screens the site. Possible locations of a monument sign would not be adequately visible from the streets. The most suitable place is along the southwest section of the site, however, a city sign occupies this area and adding a second monument would create a cluttered look. The applicant proposed a compromise which staff believes is reasonable. The request is for a wall-mounted sign in lieu of the monument sign. This request requires a variance. The Sign Ordinance allows: REMAX Sign Variance May 21, 2002 Page 4 (2) Wall business signs. One (1) wall business sign shall be permitted on the street frontage for each business occupant within a building. Wall business signs shall not be mounted upon the wall of any building, which faces any adjoining residential district without an intervening public street. The total of all wall mounted sign display areas for each business shall not exceed the square footage established in the following table: Maximum Percentage of Wall Wall Area in Square Feet Total Square Footage of Signs 15 % 0--600 90 13% 601--1,200 156 11% 1,201--1,800 198 9% 1,801--2,400 216 7% 2,401--3,200 224 5% 3,201--4,500 230 3% 4,500+ 240 (3)Wall signs shall not include product advertising. Wall signs shall only include tenant identification, tenant logo or registered trademark, center name, or any combination of the three. The elevation, on which the sign is proposed, has an area of 1304 square feet. The maximum permitted area for a sign is 198 square feet. The applicant is proposing a 15 square foot sign. This sign will occupy 2% of the wall area. Since a wall mounted sign already exists on the south elevation, the second sign will require a variance. VARIANCE FINDINGS FINDINGS The Planning Commission shall not grant a variance unless they find the following facts: a. That the literal enforcement of this chapter would cause an undue hardship. Undue hardship means that the property cannot be put to reasonable use because of its size, physical surroundings, shape or topography. Reasonable use includes a use made by a majority of comparable property within 500 feet of it. The intent of this provision is not to allow a proliferation of variances, but to recognize that there are pre-existing standards in this neighborhood. Variances that blend with these pre-existing standards without departing downward from them meet these criteria. Finding: The applicant does have reasonable use of the property; however, the existing monument sign on the applicant's property limits his options to add a sign advertising his REMAX Sign Variance May 21, 2002 Page 5 business, as permitted by ordinance. The requested wall mounted sign is in lieu of the monument sign. bo The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification. Finding: The conditions upon which this variance is based are applicable to properties in the OI zoning district. C~ The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land. Finding: The new sign will allow south bound traffic on Great Plains Boulevard to find the building. d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship. Finding: The hardship is a combination of the shape of the property and the fact that the city placed its monument sign on the applicant's property. Hence, the hardship is not self- created. e, The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located. Finding: The variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located. It will direct traffic to the location of the building. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. Finding: The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion: "The Planning Commission approves Variance g02-5 for a 15 square foot wall mounted sign to be located on the north elevation of the REMAX ACTION WEST building, as shown on the plan dated May 2, 2002, with the following conditions: 1. The north facing monument sign is in lieu of a monument sign. REMAX Sign Variance May 21, 2002 Page 6 2. The applicant shall apply for a sign permit." ATTACHMENTS 1. Site Location and Layout. 2.

As part of the original preliminary plat, Outlot C was slated to be one large lot of approximately 23 acres and one smaller lot of approximately 4 acres. The smaller of these lots from the preliminary plat is proposed to be subdivided into three lots, rather than one. Hence a new preliminary plat is required since additional lots are being proposed. The plat itself is very straightforward. The proposed lots comply with the minimum standards for industrial lots specified in the city code. The only issues are the limitation to a right-in/right-out access to Century Boulevard and the need to dedicate a public street where Outlot B of the subdivision is being proposed. Additionally, the applicant will need to dedicate the cul-de-sac bubble at the end of the street and construct the street to city standards. Staff is recommending approval of the preliminary plat, subject to the conditions contained in the report. BACKGROUND December 10, 2001, the city approved an amendment to the Planned Unit Development (PUD #92-6) Development Contract/PUD Agreement for Arboretum Business Park incorporating printing as a light industrial use; pe~znitting indoor recreation/health clubs and recording studios in the existing office- industrial buildings in the project; and prohibiting vocational schools, public buildings (except in Outlots A and B), screened outdoor storage, and food processing. On September 24, 2001, the Chanhassen City Council approved Interim Use Permit #2001-1 to grade a portion of the Arboretum Business Park development and Conditional Use Permit #2001-8 to permit development within the Bluff Creek Overlay District August 13,2001, the city approved the amendment to the Planned Unit Development (PUD #92-6) to permit an Auto Services Center on the "Wrase" property with the stipulation that auto body repair is prohibited on the site, and On July 26, 1999, the Chanhassen City Council approved an amendment to the PUD for Arboretum Business Park to permit a Church facility as an interim use in the building on Lots 3 and 4, Block 2, Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition. On March 8, 1999, the City Council approved PUD #92-6 granting final plat approval for Arboretum Business Park 3rd Addition creating two lots and fight-of-way for TH 41. On May 11, 1998, the City Council approved Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition consisting of six lots, one outlot and the right-of-way for Water Tower Place, formerly known as Coulter Boulevard, and a site plan fora 113,600 square feet office-industrial-warehouse buildings (Steiner Building 2). Arboretum Business Park 4th May 21, 2002 Page 3 On July 28, 1997, the City Council approved the following: the ordinance for PUD #92-6 rezoning approximately 154 acres from Agricultural Estate, A2, to Planned Unit Development, PUD, and the PUD #92-6 granting final plat approval for Arboretum Business Park. On June 23, 1997, the City Council approved a Resolution that the AUAR be revised to incorporate the summary of issues and mitigation plan contained in this staff report, that the revisions to the Traffic Study prepared by SRF outlined in the staff report be incorporated into the study, and that the revised AUAR be adopted by the City. On May 27, 1997, the City Council approved the following: Approved the first reading for rezoning the property from Agricultural Estate, A2, to Planned Unit Development, PUD. Approved the preliminary PUD #92-6 for an office/industrial business park and preliminary plat approval for 12 lots, two outlots and associated right-of-way subject to the plans dated April 4, 1997, revised May 23, 1997,with conditions. The City Council approved Wetland Alteration Permit for Gateway Business Park subject to the conditions of preliminary PUD #92-6 approval. The City Council approved Interim Use Permit #97-1 for Gateway West Planned Unit Development site subject to conditions. LANDSCAPING/TREE PRESERVATION Landscaping will be installed with the development of the individual lots. Landscaping along Highways 41 and 5 shall comply with Buffer yard standard C. Coulter Boulevard, Century Boulevard, West 82nd Street, and the proposed local street shall comply with Buffer yard standard B. The master landscape plan for the Arboretum Business Park (formerly Gateway) PUD shall be the design guide for all of the specific site landscape developments. Each lot must present a landscape plan for approval with the site plan review process. PARKS AND OPEN SPACE Arboretum Business Park dedicated sufficient parkland to meet the parkland dedication requirement. However, the developer is responsible for trail fees. As required by ordinance, the developer shall pay trail fees pursuant to city ordinance. GRADING, DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL The plans propose to grade about 25% of the site for the three new building pads (Block 1) and a proposed street ending with a cul-de-sac. The cun'ent plans propose three lots located in the noi -~'~f--~?'?e~':Y ~'i''~,.l~.~ ~'.~' ~:;~ .:.~ .... -, ~ ~.;,. .............................................. , ..... ,,~,,,..~ ~,m built 4 ,~arkina lots will drain toward the aroaosed catch basins and be conveyed via storm sewer Arboretum Business Park 4th May 21, 2002 Page 4 to the existing storm sewer. Prior to final platting, storm sewer design data will need to be submitted for staff review. The applicant will be required to meet the existing site runoff rates for the 10-year and 100-year, 24-hour storm events. Drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated on the final plat over the public storm drainage system including ponds, drainage swales, and wetlands up to the 100-year flood level. The minimum easement width shall be 20 feet wide. Staff recommends that Type II silt fence be used along the grading areas. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property owner. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water service is available to the site from Century Boulevard and from stubs on the south side of the lots. The watermain and municipal sewer lines will be considered public utility lines since they will serve more than one lot. As such, minimum 20-foot wide easements will be required over the public portion of the utility lines. The sanitary sewer lines should run within the development rather than in Century Boulevard. The developer shall revise the sanitary sewer along the east side of Lots 1 and 2 to be within the lot property limits. Since the developer will be responsible for extending lateral sewer and water service to the lots, the sanitary sewer and water connection charges will be waived. However, the sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will still be applicable for each of the new lots. The 2002 trunk hookup charge is $1,383 for sanitary sewer and $1,802 for watermain. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance. All of the utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Upon completion of the utility improvements, the utilities will be turned over to the City for maintenance and ownership. 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. Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies will have to be obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA, Department of Health, MCES, and Watershed District. STREETS No public streets are proposed as part of this project. The applicant is proposing full access to the site from both the future road on Outlot B and from Century Boulevard. Staff is concerned about the Century Boulevard access point being less than 600 feet from Trunk Highway 5. Staff recommends a right-in/right-out access east of the lots onto Century Boulevard. Also, the applicant shall dedicate Outlot B as public right-of-way and build a street according to City standards and specifications including the cul-de-sac bubble. As the two accesses will service the three lots, cross-access easements will need to be obtained and recorded against the lots. Arboretum Business Park 4th May 21, 2002 Page 5 SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT. PLAN (SWMP) Water Quality Fees Because of the impervious surface associated with this development, the water quality fees for this proposed development are based on office/industrial development rates of $4,633/acre. Water Quantity Fees The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average citywide rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land acquisition, proposed SWMP culverts, open channels, and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage. Office/industrial developments have a connection charge of $4,360 per developable acre. SWMP Credits The storm water ponding for the proposed project was completed with Phase I of the PUD. At that time, SWMP fees were calculated for the entire development and water quality credit was given for the construction of NURP ponds, the provision of outlet control structures and pipe oversizing. SWMP fees totaled $1,006,227.00, with credits covering $532,606.00 of that total. In most cases, credits are applied to the water quality portion of the fees, with the applicant paying the water quantity fees up front. In this case, the credits were applied to both water quality and water quantity fees for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Additions of Arboretum Business Park. This means that neither water quality nor water quantity fees were paid with these three additions. Consequently, the fee per acre for the remaining developable land must increase to cover the water quantity fees for existing lots that used water quality credits. A summary is included below.

RECOIVlMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion: "The Planning Commission recommends approval of the preliminary plat for Arboretum Business Park 4th Addition, plans prepared by Schoell & Madson, Inc. dated April 2002, subject to the following conditions: . . . o . . . The development shall comply with the Arboretum Business Park Development Design Standards. The developer shall pay trail fees pursuant to city ordinance Prior to final plat approval, a professional civil engineer registered in the State of Minnesota must sign all plans.

Drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated on the final plat over the public storm drainage system. The minimum easement width shall be 20 feet wide. Type II silt fence shall be used. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading will require an easement fi'om the appropriate property owner. Silt fence shall be promptly removed upon completion of construction. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. Each newly created lot will be subject to City sanitary sewer and water hookup charges at the time of building permit issuance.
