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.

RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD-R) AMENDMENTS: REQUEST TO
AMEND THE FOLLOWING RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS: MISSION
HILLS (WITH REZONING TO RSF), SARATOGA ADDITION, SOUTH LOTUS LAKE,
SOUTH LOTUS VILLAS, TRIPLE CROWN ESTATES, WALNUT GROVE, WESTERN HILLS,
AND WILLOWRIDGE. 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
