It is proposed to be occupied by a restaurant (Ruby Tuesday's). The building is located immediately east of the Village pond which is at the heart of the Villages on the Ponds concept and overlooks the wetland environment. This area is highly visible from Highway 5 as well as from the northern tier of the development. This site was originally approved for Famous Dave's Restaurant which was withdrawn. Staff met with the applicant and explained that due to the multiple frontages on this building, it was essential that none of the elevations give the impression of a rear of a building or service area. The applicant was successful in achieving this objective. All elevations are designed with architectural relief. The main building material is face brick. Diamond shaped medallions, columns, and awnings rap around the building. The applicant submitted colored elevations, however, actual materials have not been submitted to our office with the exception of the brick. Staff visited the Ruby Tuesday's Restaurant located in Edina (part of Southdale Mall) and found that the colors shown on the plans are not reflective of the actual colors used on the building. The columns, diamond shaped medallions, and rosettes use brick as their main material. These elements are colorful. The plans specify paint colors. These colors must be integrated into the brick. Painted brick is not permitted. Rooftop equipment is screened by a mansard roof, as well as, parapet walls. Two types of light fixtures are used on the building. The first is a gooseneck and the second is an "up and down" light (refer to exterior elevations). Staff counted 72 light fixtures on the building. (If these lights resemble those used on Ruby Tuesday in Edina, then they will not emit high glare, however, 72 light fixtures is excessive and the number must be reduced). The "up and down" light fixtures can be eliminated. The city ordinances prohibit unshielded light fixtures. Over all, the design is compatible and meets the intent and criteria for Villages on the Ponds. Trash enclosure is located in the parking lot, east of the building and will be shared between the subject building and a retail building to be located east of the subject site (the trash enclosure was approved as part of a previous application). Wall mounted signs are proposed on three walls. The sign criteria for this PUD permits signage on street frontages and main parking lots only. The sign facing the pond must be removed. A clear red neon band in 3 inch channel with clear plexiglass appears on four elevations. The sign ordinance treats neon bands as signs. The maximum allowable sign area for the front elevation is 156 square feet. The proposed sign have the following area: / Ruby Tuesday's Restaurant June 16, 1999 Page 3 Elevation Sign Neon Band East 23.25 sq. ft. 8.75 sq. ft. South 0.5 sq: ft. North 23.25 sq. ft. 13 sq. ft. West 23.25 sq. ft. 1.25 sq. ft. The landscape plan does not meet minimum ordinance requirement. Number of plantings must be increased. 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. The building was never built and the Ruby Tuesday building is proposed to replace the Famous Dave's Restaurant. The applicant must officially withdraw the approved Famous Dave's site plan. The plat for Villages on the Ponds 2nd Addition has not been recorded. Approval of this site plan is contingent upon recording the plat. Staff is recommending approval of the site plan subject to the conditions of approval. BACKGROUND 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 for Houlihan's. On May 11, 1998, the City Council approved Site Plan 98-5 for a 7,443 square foot Houlihan's Restaurant. On November 24, 1997, the City Council approved Site Plan #97-i 1 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 I and 2, Block 1, and Outlot A, Villages on the Ponds 2nd Addition. Ruby Tuesday's Restaurant June 16, 1999 Page 4 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 buildings, 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. On September 9, 1996, the City Council approved Site Plan 96-11 for a 96,288 square foot school church facility for St. Hubert Catholic Community. On August 12, 1996, the City Council granted preliminary approval of PUD #92-1 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. fi. of commercial/office buildings, 100,000 sq. ft. of institutional buildings, and 322 dwelling units; Rezoning from IOP and RSF to PUD, Planned Unit Development (first reading); Preliminary plat for 13 lots and 3 outlots and public right-of-way; Wetland Alteration Permit to fill and excavate wetlands on site; Vacation of right-of-way and easements; Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) findings of Negative Declaration of the need for additional environmental investigation; and Indirect Source Permit Review for the Villages on the Ponds project. Sector II has a 47,200 square foot motel and is proposing a 14,849 square foot retail building and a 5,300 restaurant. In addition, a future building 2, west of the Village pond, is proposed for a 7,500 square foot commercial building. Sector II was allocated a total of 60,000 square feet for commercial/retail space. In order to accommodate all of this potential commercial space in sector II, 14,849 square feet of retail space must be transferred from Sector I. GRADING The proposed grading plan matches fairly well with the approved grading plan for Villages on the Ponds. The site has already been rough graded in coordination with Phase I of Villages on the Ponds. Only minor grading is anticipated to prepare the parking lot and building pad. Staff recommends the applicant consider raising the corner of the northwest parking lot a minimum of Ruby Tuesday's Restaurant June 16, 1999 Page 5 one foot to match existing grades better, reduce 4% cross slope in parking lot and provide adequate build in catch basin No. 5. EROSION CONTROL In conjunction with Phase I, some erosion control fence still is in place as part of the overall site grading. The plans propose new silt fence around the perimeter of the site. A rock construction entrance will need to be employed at the access off of Great Plains Boulevard. The rock construction entrance shall be maintained until the site is paved with bituminous. The proposed catch basins will need to be protected during construction. Once the parking lot and/or drive aisles are paved, there should be provisions for protecting the catch basins until all disturbed areas have been revegetated. Temporary protection for the catch basins could include rock filter dikes or other measures approved by staff. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water is not directly available t° the site. Sanitary sewer and water will need to be extended from Main Street to connect to Great Plains Boulevard by the developer of Villages on the Ponds. All of the utilities proposed will be constructed and privately owned and maintained by the property owner and not the City; therefore, detailed utility construction plans will not be required. However, a utility plan sheet extending the utilities from Main Street to Great Plains Boulevard will be required with the building permit application for City approval. All utilities shall be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. The applicant and/or contractor will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate sewer and water permits from the City's Building Department. Since the parcels will be sharing the utility improvements, cross-access easements will be required and dedicated over both lots. Upon completion of the utility improvements, mylar as-built construction plans of the utilities will be required by the City. DRAINAGE Overall, the site drainage conforms with the comprehensive drainage plan for Villages on the Ponds. Stormwater runoff from the parking lot will be conveyed via storm sewers to an on-site pretreatment basin prior to discharging into the wetlands off site. The applicant shall provide detailed storm sewer calculations (Rational method) for each segment of pipe including a drainage area map for a 1 O-year, 24-hour storm event for the City Engineer to review and approve prior to issuance of the building permit. Ruby Tuesday's Restaurant June 16, 1999 Page 6 PARKING LOT CIRCULATION Overall, the parking lot and drive aisles appear to function'well. None of the drive aisles or parking lots have been constructed yet. The plans also indicate a trail system to/from Outlot B to the site which has not been constructed yet. The applicant should coordinate with the developer for the installation of this trail/walkway segment. It will be necessary to have an all-weather access (paved or gravel) extended to Ruby Tuesday to meet requirements from the development contract. At this point, Lot 2 is not built upon and depending on timing, may not be built on prior to issuance ora building permit for Ruby Tuesday. Therefore, the applicant will need to provide Lot 1 with a temporary drive aisle from Great Plains Boulevard that meets fire code requirements, i.e. 20-foot wide paved with bituminous and/or Class 5 gravel section which meets a 7-ton per axle design prior to issuance of a building permit. The developer of Villages on the Ponds will be required to extend a permanent driveway in accordance with the approved plans for Villages on the Ponds from Great Plains Boulevard to Lot 1 in conjunction with development of this site. WETLANDS The issue of wetland impacts and wetland mitigation have already been addressed in the overall Villages on the Pond PUD. The applicant has already been approved for wetland impacts and mitigation. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP) Storm Water Quality Fees 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 $2.75 per cubic yard for excavation of the pond. The proposed SWMP water quality charge for commercial developments is $5,909/acre. The applicant has designed storm runoff (NURP) ponds for the entire Villages on the Ponds site, and therefore, water quality charges will be waived. Storm 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. Ruby Tuesday's Restaurant June 16, 1999 Page 7 Commercial developments will have a connection charge of $4,360 per developable acre. The total area of this portion of the Villages on the Ponds proposed development is 2.13 acres. Therefore, the applicant would then be responsible for a water quantity connection charge orS 9,287. These SWMP fees will be due payable to the City at time of final plat recording. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The proposed development must comply with the Villages on the Ponds Design Standards, Sector II (see attached Exhibit C) 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 LANDSCAPING Minimum requirements for landscaping include 983 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the parking lot, two landscape islands and four trees for the parking lot. The applicant's proposed as compared to the requirements for landscape area and parking lot trees is shown in the following table. Vehicular use landscape area Trees/parking lot Required 952 sq. ft. 4 overstory 2 landscape islands Proposed >983 sq. ft. 1 understory 2 landscape islands The applicant fails to meet minimum ordinance requirements for number of trees and landscape islands in the parking lot. Staffrecommends that the applicant increase the number ofoverstory trees in the parking lot and revise proposed landscape islands to include overstory trees. Island width will need to be increase to ten feet or aeration tubing will be required to be installed in the islands. Landscaping, such as shrubs or ornamental trees, should be added to the north end of the parking lot to provide some screening of the lot from Highway 5. Plant materials chosen should tie into the pond landscaping located directly north of the lot. Landscaping around the building is satisfactory, however staff recommends applicant blend some of the landscaping in with the pond area. Since the pond is a focal point, landscaping should be designed to complement this feature and buildings around the pond should incorporate their landscaping into this area. Ruby Tuesday's Restaurant June 16, 1999 Page 8 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: ao 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.

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. No single retail user shall exceed 20,000 square feet on a single level of a building. A maximum of thirty- three (33) percent of the square footage of the retail users within the development may be of a "big box" category. The intent of this reqUirement is to provide a variety of users, including small retail shops, service providers, coffee shops, cabarets, etc., for residents of the Villages as well as the community as a whole, rather than typical suburban type large, individual users dominating the development and detracting from the "village" character. Retail users should be those that support and compliment the residential development located within the development, providing goods and services which enhance residents of the village and the community. Office. Professional and business office, non-retail activity except for showroom type display area for products stored or manufactured on-site provided that no more than 20 percent of the floor space is used for such display and sales. bank/credit union finance, insurance and real estate health services - except nursing homes and hospitals engineering, accounting, research management and related services legal services Personal Services.

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, stucco, 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.

Street level windows shall be provided for a minimum of 50 percent of the ground level wall area. / f. 1. 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.
