The site is located on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 8th Addition and has an area of 3.28 acres. It is zoned IOP, Industrial Office Park, and is bordered by Lake Drive West to the south and Mallory Court to the east. Access to the site is gained via a driveway off of Mallory Court. The building is designed in a "U" shape to hide the loading docks from views. The docks are located in the center of the "U". The applicant is proposing to utilize pre-colored (tan) rockface block as the main material on the building. A dark brown rock face block is used along the base of the building and to frame entrances into the building. The entrances into the building are recessed, mainly glass, and are capped by 5 tiers of gray metal flashing. A gray metal canopy further defines each door. The walls along the east and west side of the loading docks are not shown on the plans. Staff is assuming that the same materials and architectural treatment will be carried on through these walls. The design of the building provides variation in form through stepped back elevations along the south and east. The overall design provides variation and detail on the facade of the building. Parking is located along the south and east portions of the site. The southerly parking lot is located approximately 10 feet below the elevation of Lake Drive West, which provides adequate screening. However, at the corner of Mallory Court and Lake Drive West, the elevation of the parking lot and Lake Drive West become comparable. Staff is recommending the applicant incorporate a meandering berm with landscaping, 3 to 4 feet in height along the easterly and southeasterly portion of the site to adequately screen the parking. Site landscaping must be increased to meet minimum ordinance requirements. A parking lot light plan is required. The plan should incorporate the light style, height, and photo-metrics. Also, a detailed sign plan, which includes lighting method, has to be submitted. The applicant explained that trash dumpsters will be located inside the building. Rooftop equipment and mechanical equipment are not shown on the plans. All equipment must be screened from views. In summary, with the incorporation of staff recommendations the proposed site plan application would meet ordinance requirements, and staff is recommending approval with conditions outlined in the staff report. Lot 1, Block 1, CLBP 8th SPR January 19, 2000 Page 3 GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The proposed office/warehouse building, with an area of 43,000 square feet, will be situated on the northwest comer of the intersection of Mallory Court and Lake Drive West. The site is bordered by Lake Drive West to the south, a vacant industrial site to the north and Mallory Court to the east. The site located south of Lake Drive West is zoned PUD-R and is proposed to be occupied by apartment buildings (Powers Ridge). Access to the building is proposed from Mallory Court. Parking will be located along the south and east portion of the site. Screening of the parking lot can be improved by incorporating a meandering berm with landscaping, 3 to 4 feet in height along the east and southeast comer of the site. Materials used on the "U" shaped building, are pre-colored rock face block on all four elevations. Entrances into the building are recessed glass, capped with metal flashing and a projecting metal canopy. Brown rock face block columns further define the entrances. The "U" shaped building is designed to screen the loading docks from views by locating the loading area in the center of the "U". The east and west walls on either side of the loading area are not shown on the "EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS" plan. The same architectural treatment is required on these walls. The applicant explained that trash will be located inside the building. Current state statutes require that recycling space be provided for all new buildings. The area of the recycling space must be dedicated at the rate specified in Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) 1300.4700 Subp. 5. The applicant should demonstrate the required area will be provided in addition to the space required for other solid waste collection space. Recycling space and other solid waste collection space should be contained within the same enclosure. Rooftop equipment and mechanical equipment are not shown on the plans. All equipment must be screened from views. The building is located 68 feet from the north, 110 feet from the east, 102 from the south, and 30 feet from the westerly property line. 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; Lot 1, Block 1, CLBP 8th SPR January 19, 2000 Page 4 (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 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: 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 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 development is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, and the site plan review requirements. The site design is compatible with the sm'rounding development.~ It is functional and harmonious with the approved development for this area. Lot 1, Block 1, CLBP 8th SPR January 19, 2000 Page 5 GRADING In conjunction with the development of Chanhassen Lakes Business Park (CLBP) 7th and 8th Additions, the developer rough graded the building site and constructed the infrastructure and street system to serve the site. The approved grading plan for CLBP 8th Addition suggested a first floor elevation of 919.0 for the site, which is 1.8 feet lower than the proposed grading plan (920.8). The site was left higher due to an unexpected excess of material that was generated between the 7th and 8th Additions. The developer of CLBP 7th and 8th Additions, Eden Trace, which is also the applicant in this submittal, has not requested city approval for a revised grading plan for the 8th Addition. Upon comparison of the change in building elevation, it is the Engineering Department's position that the revised elevation of 920.8 should not adversely affect the sight lines or characteristics of the neighboring parcels. The sight lines from Lake Drive West towards this site should not be a noticeable change given the grade of Lake Drive West. The elevation of the southerly parking lot will vary between one foot above Lake Drive West in the southeast corner of the site to nine feet below Lake Drive West in the southwest corner. The first floor elevation of the building will be approximately six feet higher (mid point of the building) than Mallory Court and up to nine feet lower than Lake Drive West (in the southwest comer of the site). The vast difference in grades is due to the topographic change in the area. The top of the building will be approximately the same elevation as the top of the hill to the west (940.0). Staff has two concerns with regards to the grading plan. One is drainage around the west side of the building and the other is maintaining a 2.0% boulevard grade within the right of way of Mallory Court. A 6-foot wide sidewalk still needs to be built along the west side of Mallory Court this spring thus the need for a 2.0% boulevard. The final grading plans will need to show how a drainage swale is to be constructed along the west side of the building to insure positive drainage away from the building and a 2.0% boulevard grade within the right of way of Mallory Court. Staff also recommends berming in the southeasterly portion of the site to help screen the parking lot from the intersection of Mallory Court and Lake Drive West. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed building elevation with the conditions outlined in this report. Erosion control measures (silt fencing, rock construction entrance) are in general accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. The location of the silt fence may be modified after a detail review of the final grading plan. In addition, erosion control blanket will be required on all areas in excess of 3:1 slopes. DRAINAGE The stormwater runoff from the parking lots/building will be conveyed via storm sewers into Mallory Court where the storm sewers will discharge into a regional stormwater pond located east of the site for pretreatment pursuant to the City's Surface Water Management Plan. The Lot 1, Block 1, CLBP 8th SPR January 19, 2000 Page 6 storm sewer system on the site shall be privately constructed by the applicant and owned and maintained by the applicant upon completion. Detailed storm drainage calculations will be required to determine if there are sufficient catch basins being provided to convey surface water runoff from the site. The drainage calculations for a 10- and 100-year, 24-hour storm event (rational method) shall be submitted to the City for review and approval at time of building permit application. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water is available to the site from Mallory Court. However, at this time the City has not approved or accepted the utility improvements; therefore, connection will not be permitted pursuant to the development contract. The developer needs to complete an outstanding punch list and formally request the City to accept the utility improvements prior to connection. Installation of the private utilities throughout the site (i.e. storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water) will require plumbing permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. All utility improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the city's latest edition of standard specifications and detail plates and/or state plumbing codes. STREETS/PARKING The parking lot appears to be fairly well laid out. Access will be from Mallory Court. The drive aisles and parking stall widths appear to meet city codes. The developer of the plat will be providing an industrial driveway apron on Mallory Court. The city's parking ordinance requires 4.5 parking stalls per 1,000 square feet of office (49 stalls) and one stall per square feet of warehouse area (33 stalls). The total parking spaces required by ordinance are 82. The applicant is providing 107 spaces. A six-foot wide concrete sidewalk will be constructed along the west side of Mallory Court out to Lake Drive West in conjunction with CLBP 8th Addition. The city will be completing an eight-foot wide asphalt trail along the north side of Lake Drive West as well this spring. The applicant should be required to extend a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk from the parking lot to Mallory Court to provide for pedestrian traffic movement.

Lot 1, Block 1, CLBP 8th SPR January 19, 2000 Page 7 LANDSCAPING Minimum requirements for landscaping include 3,885 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the parking lot, 11 trees for the parking lot, and buffer yard plantings along the north, south, east and west property lines. 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 Proposed 3,885 sq. ft. 51,391 sq. ft. 16 overstory trees 6 overstory trees Boulevard trees - Lake Drive West North prop. line - buffer yard B (*shown - 75% of total) 20' width South prop. line - buffer yard B (* shown - 75% of total) 30' width East prop. line - buffer yard B (*shown- 75% of total) 30' width West prop. line - buffer yard B (*shown - 75% of total) 11 overstory trees 11 overstory trees 4 canopy trees 0 overstory trees 6 understory trees 9 understory trees 11 shrubs > 11 shrubs 3 overstory trees 11 overstory trees 5 understory trees 0 understory trees 5 shrubs 0 shrubs 1 overstory trees 4 overstory trees 3 understory trees 0 understory trees 3 shrubs >3 shrubs 2 overstory trees wildflower planting 5 understory trees 30' width 5 shrubs *According to city buffer yard ordinance, the project developer is responsible for only 75% of the required plantings. Abutting property owners may plant the remaining 25% on their property. Proposed landscaping does not meet minimum ordinance requirements for parking lot trees or buffer yards on the north, south, east or west sides. The buffer yards on the south and east sides technically fall short of minimum requirements as well. However, applicant does have the correct number of trees, but they're all overstory.rather than a mix of over- and understory. Staff finds this acceptable. The river birch specified to be planted in the north buffer yard area will provide satisfactory buffering from neighboring properties. The west side buffer yard is proposed to be seeded in a wildflower mix. Staff supports this proposal on the condition that the city be able to approve seed mix and application procedures and maintenance schedule. These details have not been submitted with the landscape plan. Lot 1, Block 1, CLBP 8th SPR January 19, 2000 Page 8 LIGHTING Lighting locations have not been illustrated on the plans.

The approved grading plan for CLBP 8th Addition suggested a first floor elevation of 919.0 for the site, which is 1.8 feet lower than the proposed grading plan (920.8). The site was left higher due to an unexpected excess of material that was generated between the 7th and 8th Additions. The developer ofCLBP 7th and 8th Additions, Eden Trace, which is also the applicant in this submittal, has not requested city approval for a revised grading plan for the 8th Addition. Upon comparison of the change in building elevation, it is the Engineering Department's position that the revised elevation of 920.8 should not adversely affect the sight lines or characteristics of the neighboring parcels. The sight lines from Lake Drive West towards this site should not be a noticeable change given the grade of Lake Drive West. The elevation of the southerly parking tot will vary between one foot above Lake Drive West in the southeast comer of the site to n/ne feet below Lake Drive West in the southwest corner. The first floor elevation of the building will be approximately six feet higher (mid point of the building) than Mallow Court and up to nine feet lower than Lake Drive West (in the southwest comer of the site). The vast difference in grades is due to the topographic change in the area. The top of the building wilt be approximately the same elevation as the top of the hill to the west (940.0). Staffhas two concerns with regards to the grading plan. One is drainage around the west side of the building and the other is maintaining a 2.0% boulevard grade within the right of way of Mallory Court.

The final grading plans will need to show how a drainage swale is to be constructed along the west side of the building to insure positive drainage away from the building and a 2.0% boulevard grade within the right of way of Mallory Court. Staff also recommends berming in the southeasterly portion of the site to help screen the parking lot from the intersection of Mallory Court and Lake Drive West. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed building elevation with the conditions outlined in this report. Erosion control measures (silt fencing, rock construction entrance) are in general accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. The location of the silt fence may be modified after a detail review of the final grading plan. In addition, erosion control blanket will be required on all areas in excess of 3:1 slopes. DRAINAGE The stormwater runoff from the parking lots/building will be conveyed via storm sewers into Mallory Court where the storm sewers will discharge into a regional stormwater pond located east of the site for pretreatment pursuant to the City's Surface Water Management Plan. The storm sewer system on the site shall be privately constructed by the applicant and owned and maintained by the applicant upon completion. Detailed storm drainage calculations will be required to determine if there are sufficient catch basins being provided to convey surface water runoff from the site. The drainage calculations for a 10- and 100-year, 24-hour storm event (rational method) shall be submitted to the City for review and approval at time of building permit application. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water is available to the site from Mallory Court. However, at this time the City has not approved or accepted the utility improvements; therefore, connection will not be permitted pursuant to the development contract. The developer needs to complete an outstanding punch list and formally request the City to accept the utility improvements prior to connection. Installation of the private utilities throughout the site (i.e. storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water) will require plumbing permits and inspections through the City's Sharmin A1-Jaff January 12, 2000 Page 3 Building Department. All utility improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the city's latest edition of standard specifications and detail plates and/or state plumbing c°des. STREETS/PARKING The parking lot appears to be fairly well laid out. Access will be from Mallory Court. The drive aisles and parking stall widths appear to meet city codes. The developer of the plat will be providing an industrial driveway apron on Mallory Court. A six-foot wide concrete sidewalk will be constructed along the west side of Mallory Court out to Lake Drive West in conjunction with CLBP 8th Addition. The city will be completing an eight-foot wide asphalt trail along the north side of Lake Drive West as well this spring. The applicant should be required to extend a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk from the parking lot to Mallory Court to provide for pedestrian traffic movement. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Detailed storm drainage calculations for a 1 O-year, 24-hour storm event shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. Installation of the private utilities throughout the site will require building permits through the City's Building Department. All utility improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates and/or state plumbing codes. The applicant shall construct a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk from the parking lot to Mallory Court. The proposed driveway access shall incorporate an industrial driveway apron and pedestrian ramps on the plans in accordance with City Detail Plate No. 5207. The applicant will need to provide financial security in the amount of $2,500 to guarantee the boulevard restoration and erosion control measures. Security may be in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow, which will be returned upon satisfactorily completing the project. Sharmin A1-Jaff Januaw 12, 2000 Page 4 o o 10. 11. C~ All areas disturbed as a result of construction activities shall be immediately restored with seed and disc mulched or wood-fiber blanket or sod in accordance with the approved plans within two weeks upon the completion of each activity in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. All private streets/driveways shall be constructed to support a minimum of 7-ton per axle design weight in accordance with City Code 20-1118. The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatow agency, i.e. Watershed District. The applicant shall incorporate berms along the southeast portion of the site to screen the south and east parking lots from the intersection of Mallow Court and Lake Drive West. No berming is permitted within the City's right-of-way. Landscaping improvements may be permitted subject to staff review and approval. The applicant shall revise the grading plans to show how a drainage swale is to be constructed along the west side of the building to insure positive drainage away from the building and a 2.0% boulevard grade within the right of way of Mallow Court. The Applicant shall provide berming in the southeasterly portion of the site to screen the parking lot from the intersection of Mallow Court and Lake Drive West to help screen the parking lot.
