4 SPR 7800 Park Drive PROPOSAL: building Hi.qhway 5 KIMI~ Kelly Nich, ~'Court Park Roa~ MN Mini-storage June 16, 1999 Page 2 PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The applicant is requesting site plan approval for a 44,692 sq. fi. two story temperature controlled storage building and a 40 foot setback variance to permit the construction of the new building at the established 30 foot setback on property currently being used for self storage mini-warehouses. The proposed building will create an entrance to the business park along Park Drive. The proposed redevelopment will also remodel the existing office/residence consistent with the storage building. As part of the project, an existing storage building and part of another storage building will be removed. The new structure will be built at the same setback as the building being removed. A vehicle drive-thru is proposed in the center of the building with a west to east orientation. The proposed building is 30 feet tall to the top of the parapet which is 5 feet 4 inches above the roof. The northeast comer of the building is stepped back from the street with five foot increments. The building will be faced with a base of dark beige rock face block for the first four to ten feet of the building. The primary building material is exterior insulating finishing system (EIFS) with the field color of medium tan with accent bands of smooth white. A cornice of smooth white EIFS runs completely around the building. Accent bands are separated from the field color by a reveal two inches wide and one inch deep. Burgundy medallions are located at the upper intersections of the smooth white bands. The north and east elevations are capped by decorative arches with burgundy standing seam roofing. A band of windows are proposed in the northeast and northwest comers of the building Rooftop mechanical equipment will be completely screened behind the parapet wall. A 6 foot 3 inch wood fence will be installed in the gap between the new building and the remainder of the building being partially demolished. This fence will screen the rollup doors in the western face of the building. Staff believes that the proposed development will enhance the appearance of the self storage facility and is recommending approval of the site plan and setback variance subject to the conditions of the staff report. BACKGROUND On November 14, 1988, the Chanhassen City Council approved the plat of Rome Park Addition replatting Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 2, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park into three lots. On September 9, 1986, the Chanhassen City Council approved Site Plan #85-7 for a 64,391 square foot mini-storage facility, Metro Lakes West Mini Storage, on Lots 1 & 2, Block 2, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park. MN Mini-storage June 16, 1999 Page 3 On October 7, 1985, the Chanhassen City Council approved a site plan for a 15,000 square foot manufacturing facility for Lane Envelope on Lot 1, Block 2, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park. This facility was never built. In 1979, the Chanhassen City Council granted final plat approval for Chanhassen Lake Business Park. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The proposed development is located within the Highway 5 Corridor district. Development in the corridor must be designed with greater sensitivity to the environment and of generally higher quality than might have occurred in the absence of specific standards. The purpose of the district is to promote high-quality architectural and site design through improvement development standards within the corridor. These standards govern site planning, placement of building masses, use of materials, and the like enable the city to enhance what otherwise might result in low quality strip development. GRADING The easterly portion of the site is proposed to be re-graded for drive aisle improvements and proposed building. The existing building on the site is proposed to be razed. Erosion control fence is proposed along Park Drive and south of the existing office. Staff recommends a rock construction entrance be included on the detail plans and be maintained until the parking lot and drive aisles have been paved with bituminous. A retaining wall with fence is also proposed in the northwest comer of the building adjacent to Highway 5. Retaining walls over four feet in height require a building permit. Site grading along Park Drive may impact the existing street lights in the boulevard. The applicant shall be responsible for relocation of street lights and/or street light wiring associated with the proposed improvements. Street light wiring must be placed within conduit. The applicant shall provide an escrow with the City to guarantee curb replacement and boulevard restoration in the amount of $4,000. The escrow shall be in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow. The applicant should be aware they may need a watershed district permit for the amount of grading proposed. The watershed district requires a permit for any earthwork activity in excess of one acre of disturbed area. DRAINAGE The plans propose on extending existing stormwater facilities around the east side of the building to convey runoff from new and existing drive aisles. This work will require separate building permits through the City's Building Division. MN Mini-storage June 16, 1999 Page 4 PARKING LOT CIRCULATION The plans propose to expand the existing driveway access to Park Drive and create a new driveway from the proposed drive-through building. This new driveway entrance will be restricted to an exit only out to Park Drive. Staff recommends that the applicant provide appropriate traffic signage accordingly. The plans should be revised to reflect the proposed signage for staff review and approval at time of building permit application. In the year 2000-2001 MnDOT will be reconstructing Trunk Highway 5. In conjunction with this work the intersection of Trunk Highway 5 and Park Drive will be redesigned to limit traffic turning movements. Park Drive will be restricted to a right-in/right-out only onto Trunk Highway 5. The proposed site improvements do not appear to be in conflict with future Trunk Highway 5 improvements. UTILITIES In conjunction with the new driveway entrance, the existing fire hydrant is proposed to be relocated. This work may or may not require turning off the watermain in Park Drive. The applicant should be aware the City requires a minimum of 48 hours notice to request the City to turn on or off water service to the site. The relocation of the existing hydrants requires a permit and inspections from the City's Utility and/or Building Departments. LANDSCAPING The applicant will provide additional landscaping to supplement the existing landscaping on site. Additional non-impervious surface is being provided as part of the development. LIGHTING/SIGNAGE The applicant is not proposing general parking lot lighting poles. Ground mounted wall wash lights are proposed on the north and east building elevations. Ground mounted wall wash lights are prohibited by the requirements of the Highway Corridor district and must be deleted. Wall mounted down lights are proposed on the south and west building elevation. The wall mounted lights must be shielded from direct off site view. The applicant is proposing an eight foot high monument sign in the northeast comer of the site. The monument will have a rock face block base and an EIFS accent band. The monument sign is shown on the site plan within the site triangle and must be relocated. The sign Will be internally illuminated with a 50 square foot sign display area, ordinance permits up to 64 square feet of sign MN Mini-storage June 16, 1999 Page 5 display area. Potential wall signage areas are located in the central bands in the areas under the arched roof. Separate sign permits are required for each sign. MISCELLANEOUS The utility plans were not reviewed at this time. Staff recommends that the building owner and or their representative meet with the Inspections Division as soon as possible to discuss plan review and permit procedures. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: 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. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; 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 MN Mini-storage June 16, 1999 Page 6 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: Subject to the revisions contained in the staff report, the proposed site plan is consistent with all plans and specifications and design standards of the zoning code and site plan standards established for the city. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion: "The Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan #99-12, for a 44,692 sq. fi. two story temperature controlled storage building and a 40 foot setback variance from the Highway Corridor District building setback to permit the construction of the new building at the established 30 foot setback, as shown on plans prepared by Cluts, O'Brien, Strother Architects, dated May 14, 1999, subject to the following conditions: The applicant shall be responsible for relocation of existing street lights and street wiring. All street light wiring shall be installed with conduit. The applicant shall escrow with the City $4,000 to guarantee curb replacement and boulevard restoration. Contact the City Engineering Department prior to pouring industrial driveway aprons for inspection. A minimum of 24-hour notice is required. o The plans shall be revised to expand the driveway radii in the existing driveway to Park Road to 20-foot radiuses versus the 15 as proposed. In addition, traffic control signage shall be added for the new driveway access. 4. Retaining walls in excess of four feet in height will require a building permit. A rock construction entrance shall be shown on the plans and maintained until the parking lot and drive aisles are paved with bituminous. MN Mini-storage June 16, 1999 Page 7 o o o 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Relocation of the fire hydrant requires a permit and inspection from the City's Utility and/or Building Department. A 48-hour advance notice is required by the City to turn on/off water service. Contact the City Utility Department to schedule water turn off/on. The applicant shall enter into a site plan agreement with the City and provide the necessary security to guarantee erosion control, site restoration and landscaping. Separate sign permits are required for each sign. Ground mounted wall wash lighting shall be deleted. A permit must be obtained to demolish the existing storage building. The building is required to be accessible and must be provided with an elevator. The west and south walls of the building are required to be one-hour fire-resistive construction because of their proximity to assumed property lines at thirteen and sixteen feet away respectively. A one-hour fire-resistive occupancy separation will be required between the S3 parking area and the S 1 storage area." ATTACHMENTS 1. Development Review Application 2. Sign Plans 3.
