As' part of the Planned Unit Develop (PUD) for Villages on the Ponds, this site was envisioned for up to a 17,000 square foot office/retail building. The swim school fits under the office/personal services use category approved within the development. The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural standards and site design. The intent is to create a pedestrian friendly, "traditional" village character consistent with the European heritage of the upper midwest including the north-midwestem architectural vocabulary, village like human scale and flavor, and variety in design and facade treatment. The PUD requires that the developer and future site users shall incorporate street/plaza furniture, planting boxes, public art, bicycle racks, drinking fountains, etc. within the development and on individual site plans. The area west of the western entrance is being developed as a mini-plaza. The overall Villages on the Ponds hardscape plan designates two benches to be located along the sidewalk adjacent to Lake Drive. Staff recommends that the pedestrian access from Lake Drive to the Plaza area be relocated to the western end of the site west of the westerly bench site. The trash enclosure has been hidden in the northeast comer of the building which will not be visible from the Lake Drive frontage. The building architecture embodies many of the elements specified in the development design standards. The facade is composed of a grayish white (winter white) 8 inch by 16 inch concrete masonry units rockface block over the main (natatorium) building facade. The lower building projections will be constructed with a color of limestone similar to Kasota Stone exterior insulating finishing system (E.I.F.S.). Additional elements include a white, standing seam, gable roof, a sunshine yellow entrance canopy and sunshine yellow colored window frames. A mini- plaza is proposed at the building entrance. The trash enclosure is neatly tucked away in the northeast comer of the building, screened from public view. Staff is recommending approval of the site plan for Foss Swim School subject to the conditions of the staff report. BACKGROUND On May 11, 1998, the City Council approved Site Plan 98-5 for a 7,443 square foot Houlihan's Restaurant. Foss Swim School June 2, 1999 Page 3 On May 11, 1999, the City Council approved the final plat for Lot 1, Block 1, Villages on the Ponds 3rd Addition subdividing Outlot D and part of Outlot E, Villages on the Ponds. On November 24, 1997, the City Council approved Site Plan #97-11 for a 5,300 square foot building (building 3) on Lot 1, Block 1, Villages on the Ponds 2nd Addition, for Famous Dave's. On September 23, 1997, the city granted approval for a 14,849 square foot retail building on Lot 2, Block 1, Villages on the Ponds 2nd Addition, (Building 4). Building 4 is a one story, 14,849 square foot, multi-tenant, retail building. On September 23, 1997, the city granted Final Plat approval for Outlot C into Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, and Outlot A, Villages on the Ponds 2nd Addition. On August 11, 1997, the City Council approved the proposed 30,000 square foot office building (building 17) on Outlot K, Village on the Ponds (#97-9 SPR), plans prepared by Milo Architecture Group, dated 6/13/97. On December 16, 1996, the City Council approved Site Plan 96-13 for a 45,505 square foot Americlnn Motel and Suites facility. On September 23, 1996, the City Council approved PUD 95-2, Villages on the Ponds, including a Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment from Office/industrial, Institutional, Residential Medium Density, Residential Low Density to Mixed Use-Commercial, High Density Residential, Institutional and Office; Preliminary planned unit development for up to 291,000 sq. ft. of commercial/office buildings, 100,000 sq. ft. of institutional buildirigs, and 322 dwelling units; Rezoning from lOP and RSF to PUD, Planned Unit Development (final reading); and final plat dated "Received September 19, 1996" for two lots and ten outlots and public right-of-way.

Foss Swim School June 2, 1999 Page 4 GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The proposed development must comply with the Villages on the Ponds Design Standards, Sector II (see attached Exhibit) for the PUD. The purpose of this zone is to create a mixed use PUD consisting of commercial, institutional, office, and residential uses. The use of the PUD zone is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive proposal. All utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for development shall proceed through site plan review based on the development standards outlined in the design standards. The design criteria cover all aspects of the development including lighting consistency, signage requirements, uses, building materials, design and architectural detailing, site coverage, and building square footages. The applicant originally presented a very different building elevation for city review. The previous plan included a shed roof that towered above the streetscape. While the high wall front was articulated with windows and aluminum reveal lines, it was not of human scale. Building materials were a white E.I.F.S. for the main building and dark blue and aquamarine E.I.F.S. for the projecting block shaped portions of the building. A yellow canopy roof was proposed over the windows along the street front with round upper story windows at the ends of the building. The applicant's representatives met informally with the Planning Commission on May 5, 1999, to review the proposed plan. The Planning Commission concurred with staff that the development did not meet the design standards established for the Villages on the Ponds. On May 24, the applicant and his representatives met with staff to determine if a design change could be made that met both the applicants needs and budget, and the city's design criteria. It was agreed that the use of rockface block material would help make the development more compatible with the Villages. In addition, the architects agreed to incorporate a gabled roof to help reduce the street elevation to a more human scale. Finally, it was discussed that the use of the dark blue and aquamarine should be muted or a softer, more earth toned colored be used. The architect incorporates an asortment of window shapes and sizes on the east and west elevations in keeping with some of the whimsy from the original design. Staff also made recommendations to the plaza area that would incorporate more street furniture. The plan under review was submitted on May 26, 1999. Staff believes the design has come a long way in meeting the intent of the Villages on the Ponds design standards. LANDSCAPING Minimum requirements for landscaping include 3,052 sq. ft. of landscaped area and 10 trees. The applicant's proposed, as compared to the requirements for landscape area and trees, is shown in the following table. Foss Swim School June 2, 1999 Page 5 Required Proposed Landscape area 3,052 sq. ft. >3,052 sq. ft. Trees 10 overstory 10 understory The applicant does not meet minimum ordinance requirements for number of overstory trees. However, submitted plans show 8 overstory trees and 5 understory trees being "planted by others." These additional plantings will help satisfy ordinance requirements. The applicant shall be responsible for the warranty of the trees if they are planted before the site is developed. If the 'other' trees are installed after the site is developed, the warranty will be covered by the Villages developer. Staff recommends additional landscaping, such as planter boxes, near the entrance of the building to soften the large expanse of concrete and make the entrance more inviting and consistent with other buildings in the development. In addition, the parking lot area located south of the development has two peninsular type landscape areas. Trees must be installed in both of these areas as part of the use of the parking lot. Either the site developer or the Villages on the Ponds developer may install these trees. GRADING The site has been rough graded with the initial development of Villages on the Ponds. A three- tier retaining wall system has been constructed along the easterly property line of the site. The plans propose to remove approximately 30 feet of the retaining wall for the building pad preparation. The resulting slopes will be 3:1. The existing vegetation along Grandview Road would be removed as a result of this grading. Staff believes that the use of retaining walls should be incorporated to save the existing vegetation along Grandview Road. This vegetation provides screening/buffering from the homes to the east. DRAINAGE The site plan appears to be in general conformance with the overall comprehensive drainage plan that was prepared and constructed in accordance with the Villages on the Ponds project. No additional storm sewer improvements will be necessary with this project. The property will need to be final platted at which time the City's Surface Water Management Fees will be due. Downstream regional stormwater ponds have been installed with the Villages on the Ponds project. The applicant may be entitled to some credits for the existing ponding facility. Staff will determine the SWMP fees at time of final platting of the property. Foss Swim School June 2, 1999 Page 6 UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water is available to the site. Utilities were installed in Lake Drive as a part of the Villages on the Ponds project. EROSION CONTROL Type I silt fence needs to be incorporated into the grading plan along Lake Drive. STREETS The site will be accessed via Lake Drive. Another access point for trash collection is proposed from Grandview Road. The parking lot will be a shared facility with the adjacent properties. The majority of the necessary parking lot improvements have been completed with the exception of the final lift of asphalt, curbing adjacent to the building, parking lot striping, parking lot landscaping, and parking lot lighting. LIGHTING/SIGNAGE The applicant is not proposing any lighting with the project. The PUD requires that decorative, pedestrian scale lighting be provided along all sidewalks if any lighting is installed. The lighting fixtures shall be designed to provide a 90 degree lighting cut-off. There are existing decorative lights along Lake Drive and one light in the southern parking area. Wall business signs shall comply with the city's sign ordinance for the central business district for determination of maximum sign area. Wall signs may be permitted on the "street" front and primary parking lot front of each building. All signs require a separate sign permit. The location of letters and logos shall be restricted to the approved building sign bands, the tops of which shall not extend greater than 20 feet above the ground. The letters and logos shall be restricted to a maximum of 30 inches in height. All individual letters and logos comprising each sign shall be constructed of wood, metal, or translucent facing. PARKS AND RECREATION The applicant should be aware that, pursuant to city ordinance, at the time of building permit application, two-thirds of the park and trail fees will be due. The other one-third of park and trail fees are due at the time of final platting for the lot. Foss Swim School June 2, 1999 Page 7 MISCELLANEOUS There is not enough information given on the plans to determine the allowable building area based on type of construction, however, staff does not anticipate any problems with the proposed size. Staff recommends that the building owner and designer meet with the Inspections Division as early as possible to discuss the plan review and permit procedures. The plat for Villages on the Ponds 5th Addition must be recorded before a building permit can be issued. In conjunction with final platting, the Development Contract/PUD Agreement for Villages on the Ponds will also need to be amended to include this phase. Final plat documents need to be submitted to the city a minimum of three weeks prior to the City Council meeting. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: (1) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides, including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may. be adopted; (2) Consistency with this division; (3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing or developing areas; (4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the development; (5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special attention to the following: An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general community; b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; Foss Swim School June 2, 1999 Page 8 Co Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and neighboring structures and uses; and do Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking. (6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. Finding: The proposed site plan is consistent with all plans and specifications and development design standards for the Village on the Ponds Planned Unit Development. Staff believes the use of the property for a swim school is complementary and supplementary to the other uses that will be built within the Villages on the Ponds.

FOSS SWiM SC ~-~.._..1_/ VILLAGES ON THE PONDS CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA DEVELOPMENT DESIGN STANDARDS a. Intent The purpose of this zone is to create a mixed use PUD consisting of commercial, institutional, office, and residential uses. The use of the PUD zone is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive proposal. All utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for development shall proceed through site plan review based on the development standards outlined below. b. Permitted Uses The permitted uses in this zone should be limited to uses as defined below or similar uses to those as listed in the Standard Industrial Classification. If there is a question as to the whether or not a use meets the definition, the Planning Director shall make that interpretation.

Building square footages may be reallocated between uses subject to approval of the Planning Director. However, the reallocation of building square footages between uses shall only be permitted to a less intensive use, i.e. from commercial to office or institutional, or from office to institutional. In no instance shall more than 27,000 square feet of addition institutional building square footage be reallocated without an amendment to the PUD. e. Building Materials and Design (Staff will be working with the developer to provide pictures to further articulate the design standards and definitions.) o o The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural standards and site design. The intent is to create a pedestrian friendly, "traditional" village character consistent with the European heritage of the upper midwest and the atmosphere within this development, yet with the amenities and technological tools of modem times. The village elevations shown on the PUD drawings are to be used only as a general guideline and the reflection of the overall village image including the north- midwestem architectural vocabulary, village like human scale and flavor, and variety in design and facade treatment. All materials shall be of high quality and durable. Major exterior surfaces of all walls shall be face brick, stone, glass, s_tucc.o, architecturally treated concrete, cast in place panels, decorative block, cedar siding, vinyl siding in residential with support materials, or approved equivalent as determined by the city. Color shall be introduced through colored block or panels and not painted block or brick. Bright, long, continuous bands are prohibited. Bright or brilliant colors and sharply contrasting colors may be used only for accent purposes and shall not exceed 10 percent of a wall area. Block shall have a weathered face or be polished, fluted, or broken face. Exposed cement ("cinder") blocks shall be prohibited. Metal siding, gray concrete, curtain walls and similar materials will not be approved except as support material to one of the above materials, or as trim or as HVAC screen, and may not exceed more than 25 percent of a wall area. All accessory structures shall be designed to be compatible with the primary structure. All roof mounted equipment shall be screened by walls of compatible appearing material. · Wood screen fences are prohibited. All exterior process machinery, tanks, etc., are to be fully screened by compatible materials. All mechanical equipment shall be screened with material compatible to the building. The buildings shall have varied and interesting detailing. The use of large unadorned, concrete panels and concrete block, or a solid wall unrelieved by architectural detailing, such as change in materials, change in color, fenestrations, or other significant visual relief provided in a manner or at intervals in keeping with the size, mass, and scale of the wall and its views from public ways shall be prohibited. Acceptable materials will incorporate textured surfaces, exposed aggregate and/or other patterning. All walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping. Space for recycling shall be provided in the interior of all principal or accessory structures. There shall not be underdeveloped backsides of buildings. All elevations shall receive nearly equal treatment and visual qualities. 10. The materials and colors used for each building shall be selected in context with the adjacent building and provide for a harmonious integration with them. Extreme variations between buildings on the same street in terms of overall appearance, bulk and height, setbacks and colors shall be prohibited. 11. Slope roof elements shall be incorporated in all structures: Sector I - minimum 70 percent of roof area shall be sloped, Sector II - minimum of 70 percent of the roof area shall be sloped, Sector III - minimum of 30 percent of the roof area shall be sloped, and Sector IV - minimum of 70 percent of the roof area shall be sloped. An exception to this requirement are roof areas designed for human use such as decks, garden areas, patios, etc., which will not be counted towards flat roof area. 12. The following design elements should be incorporated into individual structures: Building Accents Towers, silos, arches, columns, bosses, tiling, cloisters, colonnades, buttresses, loggias, marquees, minarets, portals, reveals, quoins, clerestories, pilasters. Roof Types Barrow, dome, gable, hip, flat. Roof Accents Cupolas, cornices, belfries, turrets, pinnacles, look-outs, gargoyles, parapets, lanterns. Accent elements such as towers, turrets, spires, etc., shall be excluded from the sector building height limitation. Window Types Bay, single paned, multi-paned, angular, square, rectangular, half-round, round, italianate. Window Accents Plant boxes, shutters, balconies, decks, grates, canopies, awnings, recesses, embrasures, arches, lunettes. 13. Street level windows shall be provided for a minimum of 50 percent of the ground level wall area. f. Site Landscaping and Screening All buffer landscaping, including boulevard landscaping, included in Phase I shall be installed when the grading of the phase is completed. This may well result in landscaping being required ahead of individual site plan approvals, but we believe the buffer yard and boulevard plantings, in particular, need to be established immediately. In addition, to adhere to the higher quality of development as spelled out in the PUD zone, all loading areas shall be screened. Each lot for development shall submit a separate landscaping plan as a part of the site plan review process.
