CC Minutes 06-25-2012Chanhassen City Council – June 25, 2012 LAKESIDE BEACHLOT: REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2006-26 TO ALLOW TWO CANOE RACKS, OUTLOTS I & J, LAKESIDE. APPLICANT: LAKESIDE MASTER ASSOCIATION. Kate Aanenson: Thank you Mayor, members of the City Council. This item appeared before the th Planning Commission on June 19 and they did recommend 4-0 to approve it. The application is for an amendment to a beachlot that did receive approval with the original project so there’s a master developer which all of the different sub-sets of the Lakeside belong to so this is the master development agreement that they want to amend the CUP to add for the canoe racks which were left off the original one. The applicants did request two. They are allowed up to four and we tried to be proactive and recommend that we just permit the four and a future date when there’s, it’s all built out then there may be a need for that. Again we think it’s consistent with the original CUP. The amended CUP was mailed out separately but that is part of the motion that we are recommending for tonight so again this is the site itself. Where the canoe racks would go. The four racks. They can hold up to 6 on each one so there’d be plenty of opportunities for them to enjoy it and this did appear last week at the Planning Commission. We did want to, we got the minutes in and moved this forward so they can enjoy it for the summer so we are recommending approval. I do have a motion for you and I’d be happy to answer any questions that you may have. Mayor Furlong: Thank you Ms. Aanenson. Any questions for staff? Councilman Laufenburger: Mr. Mayor? Mayor Furlong: Yes. Councilman Laufenburger: Kate, do we have recommended guidelines on how a canoe rack is supposed to be secured and etcetera? Kate Aanenson: Yeah, they’re pretty standard and it’s under the HOA master agreement that they would take ownership of that responsibility. Any liability. Anything that’s different than would be in our public properties but their standard as far as the, I think they’re pretty customized as far as the 6 cycle one and how they’re set but that’s up to the association and the installation and all that. Councilman Laufenburger: Okay, thank you. Mayor Furlong: Any other questions? Again this is in conformance with city ordinance. Kate Aanenson: That’s correct. Mayor Furlong: And everything’s in compliance so no special requests or nothing approaching a variance or anything like that at all? Kate Aanenson: Correct. Correct. Just amending what they could have had. Mayor Furlong: Just going through the process. Kate Aanenson: Right. Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. If there is no other questions, any discussion? At this time a motion would be in order. Councilman Laufenburger. 5 Chanhassen City Council – June 25, 2012 Councilman Laufenburger: I’d be happy to.

APPLICANT: CITY OF CHANHASSEN. Kate Aanenson: Thank you Mayor for reading all those for me. This group three as you just indicated th has 7 different neighborhoods so we had a neighborhood meeting on May 8 at the Chan Rec Center. We had 20 people in attendance and the meeting notices we explained showed how to get to the City’s website and provide additional information. At all of our meetings we’ve been having a laptop there. We’re showing people how to go to the County’s website to get additional information. Showing our residents information that we have on our website for, if they want other information of what’s going on in the City so it’s been a great opportunity to meet with our residents and also they enjoy, we have aerial photos of each neighborhood so I think they’ve really enjoyed looking at their neighborhood and kind of seeing what’s going on so that’s been a real positive thing to do. So again as we stated before it’s not our intent to up zone any property at this time. It’s really just to provide the codification and get that underlying zoning district. Having said that, these are the neighborhoods that we’ve done. In your packet there’s a lot of information on the Mission Hills development and at the Planning Commission the property owners, the Klingelhutz’s representing Mission Hills, the commercial piece is all part of that PUD. We put a lot of information in that and some of it kind of got beyond what we believe was the scope of the rezoning part, specifically access onto 101. At the time that they negotiated with MnDOT that was, the City had jurisdiction over 101. Now the County does so we put some of that background in there. In working with their attorney we agreed that we would go to the new PUD standards which we hadn’t done in any rezonings because that did give them some relief, specifically again some of the noise walls but that PUD standard said that they would have to bring in a project for you as a council to go beyond that. They wanted some agreement on that. Obviously we can’t make that recommendation without the project in front of the council and I recommended against that and advised their attorney that maybe the best thing to do is just not to change anything at this point and that we can address that at a future date so that’s what we did so I did hand out to the council the original PUD. There are a few minor changes but nothing affecting really the commercial piece, and I’ll go through those in a minute. So the Mission Hills itself, as you can see there’s the condominiums. A couple different products within the Mission Hills. Some single family and the condominium projects itself so there’s Mission Hills Lane, Mission Hills Drive, Mission Hills Way. Again this would be the commercial piece right in here that we’re talking about that we’re leaving out of the rezoning. It’s all into one PUD as far as making significant changes that were requested and that goes back to the flexibility that we put into the PUD 6
