PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting a land use plan amendment from Residential Large Lot to Residential
Low Density and rezoning of Lot 2, Block 1, Hillside Oaks, from Agricultural Estate, A-2, to -
Single Family Residential, RSF, to permit the subdivision of Lot 2, Block 1, Hillside Oaks, with a
variance to permit a private street into 6 lots for a development to be known as Powers Circle.
As part of the 1980 Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan, this parcel as well as the rest of Hillside
Oaks subdivision was guided for Residential Low Density. After Hillside Oaks final plat was
approved and in exchange for MUSA expansion elsewhere, this property was reguided for estate
type development. However, as part of the original plat, it was envisioned that when urban services
became available, this property would redevelop, but with larger lots.
This property and the lot to the north are separate from the balance of the Hillside Oaks
development and are served via a shared driveway off Powers Boulevard. LOw Density Residential
Development in the Lake Susan Hills PUD surrounds these properties on three sides. As part of the
upgrade of Powers Boulevard, sewer and water services were extended down to Lyman Boulevard
to serve abutting parcels. Redevelopment of the properties would assist in paying for these public
improvements. 'Redevelopment of these parcels would use existing public facilities, rather than.
requiring the extension of additional trunk sewer and water lines. Powers Boulevard is a collector
roadway and will continue to carry high volumes of traffic.
The proposed development proposes only One lot for redevelopment, Lot 2. Of the two lots, this lot
represents 59.9% of the land area of the lots. However, this lot represents only 50 percent of the
property ownership. If this development is approved, then LOt 1 would be surrounded on four sides
by urban density development and inevitably be forced to redevelop.
The proposed subdivision minimally meets ordinance requirements and is, at best, a marginal
development proposal. The three lots abutting Powers Boulevard are much too small considering
that Powers Boulevard is a collector roadway and will carry high traffic volumes in the future. The
site grading significantly impacts that natural character of the site, and even if approved, would
require significant changes. The two lots on the west side of the development would be conducive
to tuck-under type units, ones that are not well received in the existing real estate market. Drainage
ravines are located on the west and southwest comer of the propertY and could significantly impact
proposed Lot 4.
The comprehensive plan policies state:
Powers Circle
November 6, 2001
Page 3
Encourage low density residential development in appropriate areas of the community that
reinforces the character and integrity of existing single family neighborhoods while promoting the
establishment of new neighborhoods of similar quality.
By changing only one lot, the proposed development would change the character of the
large lot development.
New residential development shall be discouraged from encroaching upon vital natural resources or
physical features that perform essential protection functions in their natural state.
The proposed development would encroach into a significant drainage way that covers the
southwest comer of the development.
The City of Chanhassen is committed to providing a variety of housing styles with housing
available for people of all income levels. The City of Chanhassen supports a balanced housing
supply including the provision of estate type homes.
Staff is recommending denial of the Land Use Map Amendment, rezoning and preliminary plat due
to inconsistency with the comprehensive plan.
BACKGROUND
February 1972. The property was zoned R-lA,Agricultural Residence District as part of the
original city zoning.
July 1980. The property was granted preliminary approval for a Planned Residential development
as part of the preliminary development plan for Lake Susan West P.R.D. Since a final plat was
never filed on the project, the approved rezoning was never filed or published.
May 7, 1984. Final plat approved for Hillside Oaks Subdivision (84-2 Subdivision).
September 7, 1984. The City approves a land use map amendment from Residential Low Density
to Agricultural and deletes the property from the MUSA in exchange for 22 acres of industrial land
(McGlynns) and 7.3 acres of residential land northeast of Lake Minnewashta.
February 1987. Property rezoned to A-2, Agricultural Estate District as part of comprehensive
rezoning of the city.
February 199t. Property brought back into the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and
guided for Residential Large Lot.
Powers Circle

Page 4
Summer, 1997. Property owners for Lots land 2 brought in preliminary plat for Lots 1 and 2,
Block 1, Hillside Oaks including a land use map amendment and rezoning to single family
residential. The property owner for Lot 1 decided not to go forward with the project and the
application was withdrawn.
On February 23, 1998, the City Council:
· denied a request for a Land Use Map Amendment from Residential - Large Lot to Residential
Low Density for Lot 2, Block 1, Hillside Oaks.
denied a request for rezoning from A-2, Agricultural Estate District, to RSF, Single Family
Residential, for Lot 2, Block 1, Hillside Oaks, due to inconsistency with the comprehensive
plan.
· denied a preliminary plat of Subdivision 97-12 creating six lots for the Powers Circle Addition
subject to not complying with the land use designation and zoning requirements.

SUBDIVISION REVIEW
GRADING
Approximately two-thirds of the site is proposed to be graded for the house pads and street
layout. The existing topography contains a very steep, partially wooded slope along the westerly
portion of the site. The westerly portion of the site contains a variety of trees, shrubs and
conifers. To preserve this sensitive area, staff is proposing that a conservation easement be
dedicated over the westerly portion of the plat. In addition, two drainage ravines also intersect
the parcel on this west slope. While previous upstream development has decreased the amount
of runoff that flows through the ravines, they still act as a conduit to neighborhood drainage and
needs to be preserved. As such, staff is recommending that public drainage and utility easements
be dedicated over those parts of the ravines in Lots 4 and 5. Additionally, staff is recommending
that the house pad for Lot 4 be moved closer to the front of the lot. This will minimize the
amount of grading and tree removal on Lot 4. Likewise, Lot 6 would benefit from the house pad
being moved closer to the street. This lot is proposed to be "custom graded". The proposed
Powers Circle
November 6, 2001
Page 5
grading limits shown on the grading plan would permit grading from lot line to lot line and
essentially alter the entire slope. Due to the steep slope, Lot 6 is conducive to a tuck-under type
home style, which would minimize the lot grading. A detailed grading, drainage, tree removal
and erosion control plan will be required at the time of building permit application for staff
review and approval in an effort to minimize tree loss and reduce grading impacts to the lot. The
front and rear house pad elevations for Lot 6 should be shown on the grading plan as well.
It appears that fill material will need to be imported to construct the lots and streets. The
applicant and/or contractor must supply the City Engineer with a haul route for review and
approval prior to grading activities commencing.
This development is adjacent to Powers Boulevard (County Road 17), which is listed as a
collector street in the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. According to City Code, the
development will require screening of the adjacent lots from Powers Boulevard. Given the
drainage characteristics and topographic features of the site, landscaping and separated berms are
recommended along Powers Boulevard. The separated berms will provide openings for the
runoff to drain out to Powers Boulevard as it does today.
A retaining wall is proposed along the north side of Powers Circle to reduce the grading limits.
The retaining wall is shown within the proposed right-of-way. Normally, retaining walls are not
permitted within the City's right-of-way. To that extent, staff is recommending that the applicant
revise the proposed street grades in order to minimize the use and height of the retaining wall.
An encroachment agreement will be necessary for the construction of said retaining wall. An
existing driveway that serves the parcel to the north may be impacted by this retaining wall as
well and should be furthered addressed prior to final plat consideration.
The City has planted a number of boulevard trees along Powers Boulevard that are nOt shown on
the plans. In addition, there are a number of conifer trees on the site that are not shown on the
plans as well. These trees need to be shown on the plans to determine what, if any, impact the
trees will sustain.
DRAINAGE
The site drains from west to east onto Powers Boulevard where a storm drainage system collects
stormwater runoff and carries it to a stormwater quality pond for pretreatment prior to
discharging into a downstream wetland. The storm sewer improvements were constructed under
the City/County Powers Boulevard Project. The parcel was not assessed for any storm drainage
improvements and therefore will be responsible for surface water management fees. The plans
propose two catch basins to convey stormwater runoff from Powers Circle into the existing
drainage system in Powers Boulevard. Detailed storm sewer plans and specifications in
accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications & Detail Plates will be
Powers Circle
November 6, 2001
Page 6
required for review and approval at time of final plat consideration. In addition, storm drainage
calculations for a 10-year and 100-year, 24-hour storm event shall be submitted to the City
Engineer for review and approval along with a drainage area map.
EROSION CONTROL
Erosion control measures and site restoration shall be developed in accordance with the City's
Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Silt fence is shown along the south and east
property lines where stormwater and sediment can run off the site. A rock construction entrance
must be shown at the proposed street access off of Powers Boulevard. In addition, tree
preservation fencing needs to be added around any and all trees to be saved.
UTILITIES
There is an existing home on the site which utilizes a well and septic system. The plans propose
to abandon the existing well. However, there was no notation with regard to the septic system.
Staff assumes that the septic system site will be abandoned as well once City sewer and water
becomes available. In the meantime, the existing septic site will need to be protected during the
construction phase.
The site has not been previously assessed for utilities. As such, the site will be. subject to one
sanitary sewer and water connection charge for the installation of the existing stubs to the site.
The 2001 connection charges for both sanitary sewer and water are $4,144. The property is also
subject to sanitary sewer and water hook-up charges for all six- lots. The 2001 trunk utility hook-
up charges are $1,322 per unit for sanitary sewer and $1,723 per unit for water. The 2001 SAC
charge is $1,225 per unit. These charges are collected prior to each building permit issuance.
In conjunction with the Powers Boulevard project municipal sewer and water service was
extended to serve this parcel and the one to the north. An 8-inch sewer line has been extended
out along the northerly lot line of the site from Powers Boulevard. The plans propose on
extending the sanitary line into the site and then going south to serve the lots. A 6-inch
watermain is also proposed to be extended into the site along Powers Circle and then along the
private street and terminating. Staff is recommending that both a sanitary sewer and water line
be stubbed off of the cul-de-sac to serve the property to the north. Due to the low floor elevation
of the proposed lots, in-home pressure reducing valves will be required on all lots with a lowest
floor elevation of 930 or less. Utilities along the private street will also need to have a drainage
and utility easement dedicated over them. The minimum width will be 30 feet depending on the
utility depth. Upon installation of these utilities, the house to the north will be within 150 feet of
the sanitary sewer. As per City Code Section 19-41 (a), this house will then be required to
connect to the sanitary sewer system within twelve months of the sewer becoming available.

Detailed utility construction plans and specifications in accordance with the City's latest edition
of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates will be required for review and approval by the City
Council at time of final plat consideration. Since the utilities and part of the street improvements
will become owned and maintained by the City, the applicant shall enter into a development
contract with the City and provide financial security in the form of a letter of credit or cash
escrow to guarantee construction of the public improvements.
STREETS
Access to the site is proposed by both a public street (Powers Circle) and a private street to serve
up to four of the lots (2, 3, 4 and 5). Based on the surrounding parcels, there appears to be no
need to extend a public street to the south. The adjacent parcel has access from Oakside Circle
immediately south of the development. The parcel to the north will have access from Powers
Circle. Since this parcel is zoned A-2, the cul-de-sac must be shifted to the east to maintain a 50
foot setback to the garage. The public street width and right-of-way for Powers Circle per City
ordinance shall be 31 feet back-to-back within a 60-foot wide right-of-way. The plans propose a
34-foot wide face-to-face street within a 60-foot wide right-of-way. Therefore, the street width
should be reduced to 31 feet back-to-back. The private street must be paved to a minimum width
of 20-feet and built to a 7-ton design. A turnaround area, acceptable to the City's Fire Marshal,
must be provided at the southerly end of the private street. The private street must be located
within a 30-foot wide private easement and dedicated to the benefiting property owners.
Access to the site from Powers Boulevard does have a right turn lane provided. Therefore, no
additional turn lanes wilt be necessary. The existing driveway access from Powers Boulevard
currently serves two homesteads (Rossavik) and the parcel to the north. In conjunction with the
proposed street improvements, the driveway for the parcel to the north will need to be modified
to adapt to the new street grade. As a result of this project, both homes will be required to
change addresses to correspond to the new street name. In addition, a fire hydrant and street light
pole will need to be relocated. The developer will be responsible for the relocation of these
utility improvements.

location, species and size of replacement and buffer yard plantings. All plants must meet
minimum size requirements.
WETLANDS
There are no wetlands on this site.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP)
Water Quantity Fees
The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average
city-wide 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. Single
family residential developments have a connection charge of $1,980 per developable acre. The
total net area of the property is 2.9 acres of SRF minus the existing lot. The water quantity
connection charge is $1,980 per acre or $ 5,742 for 2.9 acres. These SWMP fees will be due
payable to the City at time of final plat recording.
Water Quality Fee
The SWMP has established a water quality connection charge for each new subdivision based on
land use. Dedication shall be equal to the cost of land and pond volume needed for treatment of the
phosphorus load leaving the site. The requirement for cash in lieu of land and pond construction
shall be based upon a schedule in accordance with the prescribed land use zoning. Values are
calculated using market values of land in the City of Chanhassen plus a value of $2.50 per cubic
Powers Circle
November 6, 2001
Page 9
yard for excavation of the pond. The proposed SVVSViP water quality charge for single family
residential developments is $800 per acre. SWIVlP fees for this proposed development are based on
a total developable land area of 2.9 acres. This area does not include the existing house located on
Lot 5. Under SVvhMP rules, existing homes are not to be assessed SWMP connection fees.
Therefore, the applicant is required to pay $2,320 in water quality fees.
INDIVIDUAL SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM
Onsite utilities. The existing well may continue to be used on future Lot 5 after City utilities are
provided to the lot. A licensed well abandonment contractor must abandon the welt if its use is
discontinued.
The existing ISTS (individual sewage treatment system) must remain undisturbed until the existing
home is connected to City sewer. The system should be located and protected before site grading
begins.
The septic tank for the ISTS must be properly abandoned by a licensed ISTS pumper.
Abandonment includes pumping, removing or destroying the tank and filling the excavation or the
destroyed tank. Proof of abandonment must be furnished to the Inspections Division before
issuance of any building permits in the subdivision.
Soils Report. Before building permits can be issued a soils report showing details and locations of
house pads and verifying suitability of natural and fill soil is required. The soils report should
include lot-by -lot tabulations for land development, with controlled earthwork prepared according
to HUD Data Sheet 79G. This information is required in order to be able to review building plans.
Addressing. The house directly to the north of the proposed subdivision will be accessed from
Powers Circle. This new driveway location will require an address change for that home. The
existing home within the proposed subdivision will also require an address change.
PARK AND RECREATION
The developer is not donating any park or trail land and there is no need in this area. Payment of
full park and trail fees is required per city ordinance for the new lots being created (the existing
home is exempt from park and trail fees). Park fees for 2001 are $1,500.00 per lot. Trail fees are
$500.00 per lot. One-third of the total park and trail fees are payable at the time of final plat
recording. The balance of the park and trail fees are paid with the building permit.

Due to the requirement to move the cul-de-sac to the east and the nonconforming status of Lot 2,
staff believes that the applicant will need to eliminate one lot reducing the plat to five lots. (Note
that lots must have a minimum of 125 feet of depth for each street frontage.)
REZONING/COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The existing land use designation of the property is for Residential Large Lot. This area has been
developed with single homes on larger lots. The parcel abuts a collector roadway. Chanhassen is a
high amenity community. One of the amenities is that we have a range of residential land uses
from large lot to high density. Maintaining this mixture is one of the city's goals. In addition, the
community highly regards its natural environment including trees, slopes, vistas, and uncluttered
open spaces. The development, as proposed, significantly impacts these features. Hillside Oaks
was developed as a Large Lot development and has maintained that character. While staff believed
that the conversion of both Lots 1 and 2 might not have significantly impacted the character of the
area, conversion of only Lot 2 definitely impacts the character of Lot 1. Staff has consistently
supported the idea that only if a majority of property owners in an existing area came in requesting
land use amendments, rezoning, or intensification of uses, we would more positively support the
conversion of those uses. This alone would not be the sole reason to deny the rezoning and
comprehensive plan amendment. The property owners of Lots 1 and 2 bought into a large lot type
development. Lots 1 and 2 are intertwined, due to shared access to Powers Boulevard, and either
both should be redeveloped or neither be redeveloped. Staff believes that conversion of one lot
without the other would be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

SUBDIVISION FINDINGS
1. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning ordinance;
Finding: The proposed subdivision does not meet all minimum ordinance
requirements for RSF zoned properties and is, at best, a marginal development
proposal. The three lots abutting Powers Boulevard are too small considering that
Powers Boulevard is a collector roadway and will carry high traffic volumes in the
future. Due to site topography, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to adequately
buffer these lots from noises and lights along the collector roadway. The site
grading significantly impacts that natural character of the site, and even if approved,
would require significant changes. The two lots on the west side of the
development intrude into a bluff area with the preliminary grading plan. The
proposed development does not meet the requirements of the A2 district.
.
The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable city, county and regional plans
including but not limited to the city's comprehensive plan;
Finding: The proposed development is inconsistent with the intent of the
comprehensive plan and unduly impacts an existing land use as well as natural
features. It has been the policy of the city that if a majority of property Owners in
an existing area came in requesting land use amendments, rezoning, or
intensification of uses, the city would consider the request in a more positive light.
,
The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topography, soils,
vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, and storm water
drainage are suitable for the proposed development;
Finding: The proposed site is suitable for development subject to significant
revisions to the development plan specified in this report. Due to topography, the
proposed development would need to be revised to preserve additional natural
features.
,
The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm drainage,
sewage disposal, streets, erosion control and all other improvements required by this
chapter;
Finding: The proposed subdivision would be served by adequate urban
infrastructure.
5. The proposed subdivision will not cause environmental damage;
Powers Circle
November 6, 2001
Page 12
Finding: The proposed subdivision will cause environmental damage to site
topography through grading and removal of vegetation. Significant revisions to the
plan would be required to mitigate the damage. In addition, restrictions on the
housing types would be necessary to reduce the developments impacts on natural
features and abutting property.
6. The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record.
Finding: The proposed subdivision will not conflict with existing easements, but
rather will expand and provide all necessary easements.
.
The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if any of the
following exists:
ao
Lack of adequate storm water drainage.
Lack of adequate roads.
Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems.
Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support systems.
Finding: The proposed subdivision is provided with adequate urban infrastructure.
However, as stated previously, it has been the policy of the city that if a majority of
property owners in an existing area came in requesting land use amendments,
rezoning, or intensification of uses, the city would consider the request in a more
positive light. From that standpoint, this project may be premature.
VARIANCE FINDINGS WITHIN SUBDIVISONS
The city may grant a variance from the regulations of the subdivision ordinance as part of the plat
approval process following a finding that all of the following conditions exist:
1. The hardship is not a mere inconvenience. The proposed private street preserves significant
site features.
2. The hardship is caused by the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical
conditions of the land.
3. The conditions upon which the request is based are unique and not generally applicable to
other property due to the site features.
Powers Circle
November 6, 2001
Page 13
,
The granting of a variance will not be substantially detrimental to the public welfare and is
in accord with the purpose and intent of this chapter, the zoning ordinance and
comprehensive plan.
PRIVATE STREET FINDINGS
(1)
The prevailing development pattern makes it unfeasible or inappropriate to construct a public
street. In making this determination, the city may consider the location of existing property
lines and homes, local or geographic conditions and the existence of wetlands.
(2)
After reviewing the surrounding area, it is concluded that an extension of the public street
system is not required to serve other parcels in the area, improve access, or to provide a street
system consistent with the comprehensive plan.
(3) The use of the private street will permit enhanced protection of the city's natural resources in
this instance site topography and forested areas.
REZONING FINDINGS
The Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider six (6) possible adverse
affects of the proposed amendment. The six (6) affects and our findings regarding them are:
1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of
and has been found to be inconsistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed use is compatible with the present and future land uses of the area.
3. The proposed use does not conform to all performance standards contained in the Zoning
Ordinance.
4. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the city's service capacity.
6. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motions:
"The Planning Commission recommends denial of the Land Use Map Amendment from
Residential - Large Lot to Residential Low Density for Lot 2, Block 1, Hillside Oaks."-
"The Planning Commission recommends denial of the rezoning from A2, Agricultural Estate
District, to RSF, Single Family Residential, for Lot 2, Block 1, Hillside Oaks, due to
inconsistency with the comprehensive plan."
"The Planning Commission recommends denial of the preliminary plat of Subdivision 97-12
creating six lots for the Powers Circle Addition subject to not complying with the land use
designation and zoning requirements."
If the Planning Commission decides to approve the Land Use Map Amendment and rezoning, then
staff would recommend the following conditions be imposed on the preliminary plat:
1. The deVeloper shall pay the City applicable GIS and recording fees.
.
A preservation easement shall be recorded over the westerly portion of the site to preserve
topography and trees. This easement shall include land west of a line beginning at a point
on the south line of Lot 4, 80 feet east of the westerlY property line, to a'point on the north
property line of Lot 4, 180 east of the westerly property line; and west of a line beginning
at a point on the south line of Lot 5, 180 feet east of the westerly property line, to a point
on the north property line of Lot 5, 50 east of the westerly property line; and west of a line
beginning at a point on the south line of Lot 6, 50 feet east of the westerly property line,
to a point on the north property line of Lot 6, 50 east of the westerly property line, there
terminating.
3. An additional fire hydrant will be required at the intersection of Powers Circle and
Powers Place.
.
A 10-foot clear space must be maintained around fire hydrants i.e., street lamps, trees,

Re'
Rezoning Application
Applicant Arild Rossavik
Address: 8800 Powers Boulevard, Chanhassen
Proposal Change Zoning from Residential-Large Lot to Residential-
Low Density
Dear Planning Commission and City Council Members'
I represent Arild Rossavik. The application of Mr. Rossavik to rezone his
property at 8800 Powers Boulevard is enclosed. Presently, this neighborhood
in the northwest quadrant of Powers Boulevard and Lyman Boulevard (CR18) is
zoned for "residential-large lot (2.5 acres minimum)" An inspection of the City
Zoning Map will show that this small area of seven lots is the only land zoned
in such a manner between downtown Chanhassen and Bluff Creek Golf
Course. In fact, it is surrounded by planned unit development townhouses to
the north and "residential-low density (1.2 - 4 units per acre)" zones on the
west, south, and east; and these properties will soon be immediate to the
TH212 improvements. Moreover, this property fronts Powers Boulevard which
will be host to 10,000 cars per day in the near future.
Mr. Rossavik's property and that of his neighbors appear under-utilized. The
surrounding land is open with few trees. The sites are not secluded, rather
they are exposed. They do not have the amenities typically attributed to sites
zoned large lot - residential i.e., attractive topography, wooded character, and
relative privacy. The designation of these seven lots as "residential-large lot" in
a sea of higher density zoning is an anomaly. Therefore, Mr. Rossavik is
requesting that the City acknowledge this anomaly and allow his property to be
developed in conformance with the zoning of surrounding properties -
residential-low density (1.2 - 4 units per acre) properties.
__
KELLY LAW OFFICES
'-2-
If developed, Mr. Rossavik's property could be host to a total of six homes
including his existing home. A sample proposed plat is included herewith for
your inspection. Sewer and water infrastructure anticipating such an
improvement was built years ago and is presently under utilized. The SAC and
WAC charges the City can expect, (if the area is re-zoned), will help amortize
this significant prior investment.
Please observe that the property to the north - 8750 Powers Boulevard, (the
office and warehouse of AC & Heating by George), is also subject to a future
division and might be host to an additional two-three properties (see alternate
proposed plat). The residential driveway servicing 8750 has insufficient room
for the large trucks delivering commercial goods to turn around on-site, rather
they must back in, or (worse?), back out on to the Boulevard. The development
of a cul-de-sac in conjunction with the anticipated platting of these properties
would alleviate this safety problem.
It should be kept in mind that this re-zoning will not immediately result in the
re-development of all property in this area. While Mr. Rossavik hopes to
develop his property, it should be noted that the Rossavik property abuts the
PUD to the north and, if developed, will not immediately impact those
properties off of Oakside Circle. The present character of those properties may
be maintained indefinitely.
This rezoning does not conflict with your Comprehensive Plan, in fact, it will
provide an opportunity for "affordable housing" by making an efficient use of
land best employed for more economically priced housing. Because of the
character of the land, the neighboring higher density developments, and
proximity to high traffic arterial boulevards and TH212, the market value of Mr.
Rossavik's land will be lower than most home sites in the City. Making
available economical home sites good municipal planning.
My client stands ready to answer any questions that you might have and looks
forward to working with you hereon.
Respectfully submitted,
Mark W. Kelly

Re.:
Wetland determination for the parcel located in the East Half of the Northwest Quarter of
Section 23, Township 116 North, Range 23 West, Chanhassen, Minnesota.
Dear Arild:
Per vour request, I reviewed the site at 8750 and 8800 Poxvers Boulevard to determine the absence or
presence of jurisdictional wetlands. B-ased on the methodologies described below, there are no wetlands
on the parcel.
Wetland Determination Methodology
The site was reviexved in the field on April 30, 1996 using the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation
Manual (Enviromnental Laboratory, 1987). This manual is currently followed to delineate wetlands
regulated under both the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (-as mnended) and Section 404 of
the Federal Clean Water Act.
? ~'
.
Background Data '-.ii:i:~ "' ;' ."
"'' '"'::':::.;i:':' :". " -
Background data used to identify potential wetland areas before conducting th~ field regiew'inclUde
National Wetlan& Inventory (NWl) mapping and the ,Soil Survey of Carver County.:-No wetlands or'
hydric soils were identified on either of these sources. The Soil Survey shows four gullies transecting the '
.
site from east to west. - .... "
.-; ~,:,
'
Field Review Findings ~. :' i~:.,:'.~::¥
· .: '7~- ',~,\': ~:~-_:.
-;-?; ..:5: :.'.~
Site topography slopes steeply from the west to east, and the eastern edge of the site aba'tS i/0w-e~rs"-~:
Boulevard (County Road 17). The four gullies shown on the Soil Survey are readih' obser~abie"in
field, but, as noted below, none of them have wetland hydrology. No other drainage patterns, d. eP.resSi°n~l
areas, or other landscape features indicate potential wetland areas. '.'
~ ' ' ' ' ' :.'*'d' '--
In summary:
1. No direct or indirect evidence of hydrology ,vas observed. Vegetation, topography, and upslope
drainage modifications provide adequate evidence to indicate the site lacks wctland hydrology. The
gullies on the site were likely eroded by drainage tile outlets that served thc cropland that was
located on top of the hill. These tiles have been removed (or cut) and havc not fiinctioned for a
number of years. All of the land above the gullies has been converted to single-family residential
uses, and the uppermost portions of the gullies are filled.
2. The outlets of the gullies are dominated by plants that seldom or rarely grow in wetlands, including
smooth brome (B$'omus inermis; UPL), staghom sumac (Rhus typhina, prickly ash (Zanlhoxylem
americanum; FACU-), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis; FAC-), and Canada goldenrod
Mr. Afild Rossavik
May 1, 1996
Page 2
(Solidago canadensis; FACU). The northernmost gully exhibits some wetland vegetation
including black willow (Salix nigra; OBL) and red-osier dogwood (Comus stolonifera; FACW),
however these plants are remnant from when the tile or drainage outlet that created this gully was
functioning.
The Soil Survey, predominance of upland vegetation, and significant modifications to the drainage
area that historically served the gullies provide adequate data to determine no hydric soils exist on
the site.
For these reasons, we submit that no wetlands exits on the site.
Conclusions
The site does not appear to contain any jurisdictional wetlands. If you have any questions, or if we can be
of further assistance, please give me a call at 937-5150.
Respectfully,
WESTWOOD PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, 1NC.

Request to Amend Land Use ~
Property located at 8800 Powers Blvd., Powers Circle
2001-4, LUP, 2001-3 Rezone, 97-12 SUB
Carver County has the following comments regarding the request to amend the land use at 8800
Powers Blvd. as transmitted to Carver County by your memorandum dated September 25, 2001.
These comments and questions are based on the information submitted. Further comments and
concerns may develop as this proposal advances.
Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17) was just recently reconstructed in 1996 and 1997. As part of the
development of the construction plan, access for this property was reviewed and addressed.
The Chanhassen City Engineer was involved in those discussions and decisions. The existing
private access is a right in / right out only access. There is no opening in the center island on
Powers Boulevard to accommodate a full access. It is the position of Carver County that if
Powers Circle were approved, it would be approved as a right in/right out only access to Powers
Blvd.
An access permit from the County Engineer's Office will be required if this driveway is changed
from a private access to a City street. The previous Chanhassen City Engineer had indicated
that there was a nuisance type drainage problem that occurs at this entrance due to the trail
construction. Snowmelt from the trail apparently crosses the driveway and freezes on the
pavement. This causes a slippery, icing problem on the entrance. The City should consider
resolution of this problem if the access is reconstructed.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this request. If there are further questions
regarding these comments, please contact me at 952-361-1010.
