BACKGROUND
The City approved a development contract as the regulating document for this development. The
final development includes attached townhouses and an association beachlot.
Red Cedar Cove (PUD 85 -5)
August 5, 1985 Approved rezoning from R -1 to P -1; approved preliminary and final plat for 18
lots for 18 townhomes with attached two -car garage; approved CUP 85 -9 for a Recreational
Beachlot with Variance for three docks and 18 slips with mooring (only 13 slips approved by
DNR); and approved CUP 85 -10 for Boathouse.
Covenants: Beachlot and docks with 13 slips and mooring.
Lots 1 -12, Block 1, exclusive rights to one slip for storage and mooring each.
Lots 13 -18, Block 1, exclusive rights to one slip for association pontoon.
Non - exclusive beachlot easement to Peter Leach, his spouse and children.
May 10, 1985 approved the sketch plan for the development.
REZONING
The City is requesting to rezone approximately 6.9 acres to Planned Unit Development -
Residential (PUD -R) to incorporate the unique development standards and referencing the
Single - Family Residential District (RSF). The project consists of 18 dwelling units and an
association beachlot. The review criteria are taken from the intent section of the PUD
Ordinance.
Section 20 -501. Intent
Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of
most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD in this instance is to attached
dwelling units in a low- density development. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the City
has the expectation that the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and
more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with the other more standard zoning
districts. The proposed development provides a compatible development with the surrounding
development.
The proposed amendment and rezoning assist in the furtherance of the following land use goals
of the City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan:
• Development will be encouraged within the MUSA line.
• The plan should seek to establish sufficient land to provide a full range of housing
opportunities.

• The city will seek opportunities to provide transitions between different uses of different
types.
• Development should be phased in accordance with the ability of the city to provide services.
The proposed amendment and rezoning assist in the furtherance of the following housing goals
of the City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan:
• A balanced housing supply with housing available for people of all income levels.
A variety of housing types for people in all stages of the life - cycle.
• Housing development that respects the natural environment of the community while striving
to accommodate the need for a variety of housing types and costs.
Staff is proposing the following development standards regulating the development of the
property:

development shall comply with the requirements of the Residential Low and Medium Density
District (RLM).

as to whether or not a use meets the definition, the Planning Director shall make that
