This application was submitted on May 14, 1999. The 120 days will expire on September 11,
1999. The applicant has given the city a letter granting a 30 day extension. The decision by the
City must be rendered by October 11, 1999.
PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting site plan approval for a one story, 5,223 square foot, single tenant,
commercial building. 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 never built.
Staff has been working with the applicant for several months and we have gone through many
revisions. When we initially met with the applicant, we explained that due to the multiple
frontages on this building, it was essential that none of the elevations give the impression ora
rear of a building or service area. The east and north elevations are well designed and were able
to achieve this objective. The south and west elevations give the appearance of a service area or
back of a building. All elevations must be designed with architectural relief. Awnings over
walls are not an acceptable form of relief. We recommend the applicant add windows below the
awnings to give them a functional appearance other than providing shade to the landscaping
adjacent to the building. We note that this was a requirement of both Americlnn Hotel and
Houlihan's Restaurant. Both buildings have actual windows in addition to false windows to
meet the Villages on the Pond PUD standards and the same should be expected of the current
proposal. These two elevations that are of concern to staff face the interior portion of the village
and the pond. East bound pedestrians, as well as vehicles on Pond Promenade will be looking at
large expanses of brick walls. The EIFS columns add some relief to these walls but the design
can be improved drastically with minimum added cost. The main building material is face brick.
Columns utilize EIFS and the rosettes at the base of the columns are painted wood. Diamond
shaped tile medallions, columns, and awnings wrap around the building. The applicant
submitted colored elevations, however, actual materials have not been submitted to our office
with the exception of the brick. The applicant has been advised to bring swatches of the color
samples for the green, ruby red, and yellow used on the columns and the rosettes. We have also
requested samples of the awnings, standing seam metal used on the roof, and tile used on the
medallions, however, we have not received them yet.
Roof top 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 a surface mounted
down light (refer to exterior elevations). Staff counted 45 goose neck and 33 down cast light
fixtures on the building. The number of fixtures is of concern to staff and the applicant is aware
of that. It is our understanding that both the color of the awnings and the light fixtures are a
Ruby Tuesday's Restaurant
September 1, 1999
Page 3
requirement by Ruby Tuesday. (If these lights resemble those used on Ruby Tuesday in Edina,
then they will not emit high glare, however, 78 light fixtures is excessive and the number must be
reduced).
With changes recommended by staff, the design will become compatible and meet 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:
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 meets minimum ordinance requirements, however, improvements could be
made by varying the locations and species of plants to create a more interesting landscape design
around the building and pond. The applicant is showing a potential future patio along the
northwest comer of the building. We strongly encourage the applicant to construct the patio
concurrently with the construction of the building. The pedestrian movement/circulation is well
thought out and is consistent with the overall concept for the PUD requirements.
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 Famous Dave's site plan must be officially withdrawn.
Staff is recommending approval of the site plan subject to the conditions of approval.

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
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 is still 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 to 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.
Ruby Tuesday's Restaurant
September 1, 1999
Page 6
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.
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 of a 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 Ouality 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 Ouantity 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.
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 of $ 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.

The applicant meets minimum ordinance requirements for number of trees and landscape islands
in the parking lot. Staff recommends that the applicant increase the island width to ten feet or
install aeration tubing in the islands. Landscaping, such as shrubs or ornamental trees, would be
appropriate at the north end of the parking lot to provide some screening from Highway 5. Plant
materials chosen should tie into the pond landscaping located directly north of the lot.
Landscaping around the building meets ordinance requirements, however, a more interesting
design could be achieved by varying the locations and species of plants. Since the pond is a focal
point, landscaping could be designed to complement this feature as buildings such as Houlihan's
have done. This should not be a substantial increase to the cost of landscaping, yet, it could
greatly enhance the area.
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:
Ruby Tuesday's Restaurant
September 1, 1999
Page 9
An intemal 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
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 with the
exception of the development design standards for the Village on the Ponds Planned Unit
Development. The applicant must revise the south and west elevations to more
accurately reflect the intentions of the development. The PUD requires that the
development demonstrate a higher quallty 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 modern times.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan #97-12 for a 5,223 square foot

Review of Site Plan for Ruby Tuesday
Lot 1, Block 1, Villages on the Ponds Second Addition
Land Use Review File No. 99-20
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 comer of the northwest parking lot a minimum of 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 to 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
10-year, 24-hour storm event for the City Engineer to review and approve prior to
issuance of the building permit.
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 of a 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.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
All areas disturbed as a result of construction activities shall be immediately
restored with seed and disc-mulched or wood fiber blanket or sod within
two weeks of completion of each activity in accordance with the City's
Best Management Practice Handbook. All storm sewer inlets shall be
protected with erosion control measures until all disturbed areas have been
revegetated. A rock construction entrance shall be maintained until the

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. 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

d. Development Site Coverage and Building Height
The PUD standard for hard surface coverage is 70% for the overall development.
Individual lots may exceed this threshold, but in no case shall the average exceed 70
percent/
5. More than one (1) principal structure may be placed on one (1) platted lot.
o
The maximum building height shall be Sector I - three stories (with residential loft)/50 fi.
(retail and office buildings without residences above shall be limited to two stories/30
feet), Sector II - three stories/40 fi., Sector III - three stories/40 fi., exclusive of steeples
and bell towers, and Sector IV - four stories/50 feet
The maximum building footprint for any one building shall be limited to 20,000 square
feet without a street level break in the continuity of the building, e.g., pedestrian

o
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. 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, tinted, 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.
Ail 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.
11.
12.
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.
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.
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.

13.
Window Accents
Plant boxes, shutters, balconies, decks, grates, canopies, awnings, recesses, embrasures,
arches, lunettes.
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.
All open spaces and non-parking lot surfaces, except for plaza areas, shall be landscaped,
rockscaped, or covered with plantings and/or lawn material. Tree wells shall be included

prohibited. The sign treatment is an element of the architecture and thus should reflect
the quality of the development. The signs should be consistent in color, size, and material '
and height throughout the development. A common theme will be introduced at the
development's entrance monument and will be used throughout.
2. All signs require a separate sign permit.
