On April 12, 1994, the school district closed on the purchase of the westerly 20 acres of
the site. Since both resulting properties were 20 acres or larger, the conveyance of the
property did not require subdivision approval.
On June 29, 1994, the City of Chanhassen issued a foundation permit for Bluff Creek
Elementary School and Chanhassen Recreation Center. On October 12, 1994, the City of
Chanhassen issued a shell permit. On December 13, 1994, the City of Chanhassen
issued a finish permit for Bluff Creek Elementary School and Chanhassen Recreation
Center.
On February 15, 1995, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the Bluff Creek Addition subdivision.
On March 13, 1995, the item was scheduled for Chanhassen City Council approval for
the Final Plat for BluffCreek Addition creating two lots, two outlots, and right-of-way
for Coulter Boulevard, Galpin Boulevard, and Highway 5. However, staff was unable to
find minutes of the proceeding.
On June 26, 2000, the City Council approved the final plat creating two lots, two outlots,
and right-of-way for Coulter Boulevard, Galpin Boulevard, and Highway 5.
DISCUSSION
City Code, Section 20-113, Administrative approvals, states that minor site plan and
building alterations which do not involve a variance, which are consistent with the intent
of the approval relative to all aspects of the site and building plans and which are not
accompanied by other matters requiring consideration by the planning commission or
city council, may be approved by the director of planning. The director is not authorized
to approve the principle construction of new buildings or alterations to existing buildings
that would add more than ten (10) percent to the existing gross floor area.
The proposed building is not more than ten percent of the area approved as part of the
site plan. Ail other aspects of the site plan shall be developed in substantial conformance
to the site plan that had been approved for the site.
Unless there are objections to the administrative approval of the site plan and
remodeling, staff will process the building permit for the cafeteria expansion and school
remodeling.
