Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving rezonings, PUD's, and amendments to PUD's because the City is acting in its legislative or policy making capacity. A rezoning or PUD, and amendment thereto, must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City's discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the proposed project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements. If it meets those standards, the City must then approve the site plan. This is a quasi-judicial decision. -~/ Harvest Lane ''-~ // 2-HarVestWay . _' / :/ 3Automaton Av-4,U¢ '/' CSM Bluff Creek Corporate Center September 19, 2000 Page 2 PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The developer is proposing an amendment to the PUD design standards to the required setbacks from TH 5. When the design standards were originally developed, the additional right-of-way for Highway 5 was estimated at 35 feet. The PUD standards established a 50 foot parking setback and a 70 foot building setback fi'om this projected line. As part of the actual acquisition of the TH 5 right-of-way, Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) acquired 75 feet of right-of-way. MNDOT acquired the additional right-of-way for slope purposes. To make up for the loss of the additional 40 feet, the applicant is requesting an amendment to the setback of 40 feet, reducing the parking setback to ten feet and the building setback to 30 feet. The edge of the future eastbound shoulder will be 65 feet from the property line. This intervening area will remain open. Staff can support this revision to the parking setback, provided the developer receives an easement from MNDOT permitting them to provide landscaping (including trees and shrubs) in depth within the right-of-way. Additionally, to adequately screen the parking, the developer shall be required to provide berming to screen the parking lot a minimum of five feet above the parking lot area. This may require the use of retaining walls. There is no need for a reduction in the building setback, since the proposal meets the design standards. The only other reduction to the design standards would be to reduce the maximum building setback to 110 feet which would eliminate the opportunity for four rows of parking to the north of the building. The developer is proposing a one-story, 64,664 square foot office showroom building. The building will be 50 percent office/showroom, 25 percent warehouse, and 25 percent manufacturing. A maximum of 20 percent of the building may be used for showroom space. The building is 28 feet to the top of the parapet in the loading dock area and in the from and side at the comer and center of the building entrances. The building parapet line steps down to a height of 24 feet between the corners and middle of the building and halfway down the sides of the building. The primary building material is rough face block. Staff is proposing some architectural changes to the building to provide additional articulation and visual interest including the use of larger, gray accent, base blocks and the addition of columns. Staff is concerned that the loading dock area be adequately screened from public view on Stone Creek Drive. The applicant has provided a cross section of this area for review. With the addition of the retaining wall in this area, increasing the height of the berm, and with the proposed landscaping, this area should be hidden from view. The applicant is proposing a sidewalk to the west to connect to the trail adjacent to Bluff Creek. This connection needs to be realigned to the south, following the edge of the parking lot and east of the proposed retaining wall on the west side of the property. The trail connection will then be made without the need for a stairway. Additionally, a sidewalk system must be installed adjacent to the building to permit the employees and customers to walk to the building entrances without having to walk in the parking lot and to connect this site to the larger sidewalk and trail system. Bicycle racks, as stated in the developer's narrative, will be required on site. CSM Bluff Creek Corporate Center September 19, 2000 Page 3 To the north of the proposed building are Highway 5 and the Walnut Grove development. Townhomes at Creekside is located south of Coulter Boulevard with the Family of Christ Lutheran Church project southwest of the site. To the east of the site are the east tributary of Bluff Creek and vacant office industrial land. To the west of the project is the Chanhassen Recreation Center and Bluff Creek Elementary School. This site is highly visible from Highway 5. The site slopes from a high point of elevation 960 in the north central portion of the site to a low point of elevation 942 along the western property line adjacent to the storm water pond. Transmission lines for NSP currently run north and south on the property, but are to be relocated to run to the northwest as part of the development proposal. The site is accessed via an extension of Stone Creek Drive. Staffis recommending approval of the minor land use amendment and the site plan subject to the conditions of the staff report. BACKGROUND On June 28, 1999, the City Council approved PUD #97-2 granting Final Plat approval for Family of Christ Lutheran Church Addition (which is part of the Bluff Creek Development). On April 26, 1999, the City Council approved site plan #99-2 for a 17,140 sq. ft. church facility including assembly, classrooms and offices for Family of Christ Lutheran Church. On June 22, 1998, the Chanhassen City Council granted final plat approval for Bluff Creek Corporate Center PUD #97-2 and second reading for rezoning from A2 to PUD. On April 27, 1998, the City Council granted preliminary approval for PUD #97-2, including the first reading of the rezoning of the property from A2 to PUD and preliminary plat approval for five lots, the Wetland Alteration Permit to fill the small wetland located in the northern portion of the site and the Conditional Use Permit for grading and filling in the flood plain. On January 12, 1998, the City Council granted concept approval for PUD #97-2. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Amendments - Section 20-41 through 20-45, requires 4/5th vote of City Council Bluff Creek Corporate Center Development Design Standards Site Plan Review - Sections 20-106 through 20-116. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE CSM Bluff Creek Corporate Center September 19, 2000 Page 4 The development must comply with the Development Design Standards for Bluff Creek Corporate Center (attached). A PUD is required to be developed to higher quality than other projects. ' Building materials consist of rough faced concrete block with an exterior insulation finishing system (E.I.F.S) sign ban and cornice at the top. The primary block color is a barkwood, which is a reddish-gray. The accent block is ashlar gray. The E.I.F.S. color is spectrum brown. The canopies and cap flashing are charcoal gray. The aluminum framing for the windows and doors are medium brown. Windows are tinted gray. (Please note that in the color composite views of the building provided to the commission, the colors are lighter than the actual material being proposed.) While the architecture does provide visual interest, staff is concerned that the proposal does not provide sufficient detail to meet the standards of the Bluff Creek Corporate Center design standards. Staff is recommending the following architectural changes to the building: Incorporate larger concrete block face blocks (similar to the Young America building) along the base of the entire building up to the height of the window base. These larger blocks should be the color of the accent band (Ashlar Gray). Add a column element on both sides of the middle window in the areas adjacent to the canopy entrances and on the east and west sides of the building. A tile accent shall be incorporated within these columns. This will result in a total of 12 columns.

(50 feet is required. Staff is proposing berming and/or a retaining wall as well as landscaping in depth to screen the parking.) # The design standards permit the averaging of site coverage within a PUD. The developer is proposing to provide additional open space with the development of the other lot within the Bluff Creek Corporate Center. GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL CSM Bluff Creek Corporate Center September 19, 2000 Page 5 The preliminary grading plan for Phase I of Bluff Creek Corporate Center proposed two two- story walkout-type buildings with an average elevation of 961 for the upper level and 949 for the lower level. The plans also proposed the extension of Stone Creek Drive out to Trunk Highway 5. The current plan proposes a one-level building at 956 and eliminates the extension of Stone Creek Drive to Trunk Highway 5. The proposed drainage plan is consistent with the existing drainage patterns of the site. The parking lot and building drainage is proposed to be conveyed via storm sewer to the existing storm water basin in Outlot B of the Bluff Creek Corporate Center plat. The City has previously received storm water calculations for the basin which verify that the basin is sufficiently sized to handle the proposed drainage. Prior to final plat approval, however, storm sewer sizing calculations will be required for all proposed storm sewer. There are two public storm sewer lines which are proposed to connect into existing structures at the north end of Stone Creek Drive. One of the lines extends past the right-of-way to the east and will serve part of Lot 2. Since it will serve more than one lot the applicant will need to prepare a cross-access easement agreement for the storm sewer over both lots. The plans propose a storm sewer along the northerly parking lot which discharges into the existing pond. Staff recommends that this line be redesigned to connect with the southerly storm sewer which will connect to the existing storm sewer system. This will eliminate having two discharge points into the pond, maintain vegetation along the pond slope and reduce maintenance efforts for the City. Grading along the north lot line of the site does not correspond with the State of Minnesota's construction plans for 'Highway 5. An elevation difference of four feet exists between the two sets of plans. The applicant should show the proposed construction (i.e. grading/street improvements) of Highway 5 along the north lot line of the site. Also, any grading in the Highway 5 right-of-way will require a MnDOT permit. Prior to final plat approval, this grading discrepancy will have to be resolved. Additional permits from the Watershed District and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will have to be obtained for grading and stormwater discharge. With Phase ! the trail is proposed to be constructed along the northeast side of the existing storm water basin. This trail will need to be designed and constructed with this phase of the plat. This trail needs to be incorporated into the plan and related grading shown. Proposed erosion control consists of silt fence on the east, west and south sides of the site. Silt fence adjacent to the creeks and wetlands is required to be Type III. In addition, an erosion control blanket or turf mat will be required on the steep slope in the southeast coruer of Lot 2. It is not clear at this time whether the entire site will be graded at once or in phases. If it will be graded all at once then any lot not'being immediately built on will have to be seeded/sodded and disc-mulched. CSM Bluff Creek Corporate Center September 19, 2000 Page 6 The existing power poles running north/south through the site will be relocated by MnDOT in conjunction with the Highway 5 project. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water service is available to the site from Stone Creek Drive. A sewer service is proposed to be extended from the existing manhole in Stone Creek Drive. For water quality and fire flow purposes staff recommends that the watermain in Stone Creek Drive be extended easterly for future looping with the property to the east. The plans propose extending an 8-inch line along the common lot lines of Lots 1 and 2. Since the watermain will be a public line, a 20-foot wide utility easement over the public watermain shall be dedicated on the final plat. In addition, a watermain extension permit from the Minnesota Department of Health will be required prior to construction. The plans also show a public watermain being stubbed to the north. Staff recommends that this line be deleted because there are no future plans to extend water under Highway 5 at this location. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. Installation of the public watermain, sanitary sewer and storm sewer will require detailed construction plans and specifications for review and approval. The applicant will also be required to enter into a PUD Agreement/Development Contract with the City at the time of final plat approval and provide the City with a financial guarantee in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow for public utility construction, erosion control and site restoration. STREETS The site is proposed to be accessed from Stone Creek Drive. An offset cul-de-sac is proposed to be constructed at the existing end of Stone Creek Drive. The cul-de-sac must be designed to accommodate the large turning radius of semi-trailer trucks and fire apparatus. This may necessitate a larger curb return radius between the cul-de-sac and the existing curb line. The drive aisles adjacent to parking stalls shall be increased to a minimum of 26 feet in width as per City Code. Industrial driveway aprons per City Detail Plate No. 5207 must be constructed at all access points along Stone Creek Drive. MISCELLANEOUS The site is platted as an outlot and will need to be replatted into lot and block. In conjunction with the final platting of the property, there will be a development contract, administrative fees, SWMP fees, and recording fees. In addition, during the building application process, there may be additional sewer and water hookup charges pending depending upon the previous assessment history. The City assigns a sewer and water hookup for every SAC unit determined by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services Commission. Any previous trunk assessments paid will be credited against the future sewer and water hookup charges. CSM Bluff Creek Corporate Center September 19, 2000 Page 7 LANDSCAPING The developer's landscape plan appears to follow the concept landscape plan prepared for Bluff Creek Corporate Center including a listing of tree species from the original plan. However, the plan must be revised to specify the quantities of each species being provided. Additionally, the landscape plan overestimates the number of overstory trees being proposed on site by incorporating understory trees, which are considered ornamentals, as overstory trees. Staff has made the following counts of proposed trees: overstory- 27, understory - 72, conifers - 44, and shrubs - 85. Landscaping Item Bufferyard C - Hwy. 5 Parking lot Required 23 overstory trees 46 understory trees 69 shrubs 8,727 ft 2 landscape area 35 trees Proposed 0 overstory trees 24 conifers 37 understory trees 54 shrubs 20 conifers 24 overstory 23 ornamentals The applicant needs to increase landscaping along the north property line as part of the landscaping in depth and the addition of berming and/or retaining walls in this area being recommended by staff. While the use of conifers in this instance is appropriate for screening purposes, staff believes an additional eight trees are required. These trees shall be overstory trees. Also, 15 of the understory trees should be replaced with overstory trees. The applicant shall work with staff to revise the landscape plan to incorporate the required changes. WATER RESOURCES Wetlands Three wetlands were identified as a part of the overall plans for Bluff Creek Corporate Center. The first wetland was filled under a de minimis exemption (under 2,000 square feet) following preliminary plan approval. The second is a replacement wetland that was constructed along Bluff Creek by the City of Chanhassen. This wetland is just west of the Family of Christ Lutheran Church property and is therefore not a part of this project. The third is on the east side of the property and is not within the construction limits. The applicant has indicated that this basin will not be disturbed. Bluff Creek The proposed project is situated between the main branch of Bluff Creek to the west and a tributary of Bluff Creek to the east. However, Phase I of Bluff Creek Corporate Center is not CSM Bluff Creek Corporate Center September 19, 2000 Page 8 within the primary or secondary corridors of the Bluff Creek Overlay District. The proposed structure does meet the required 50-foot setback from the center of Bluff Creek. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP) Water quality and water quantity fees will be calculated in conjunction with the review of the final plat. These fees are payable to the City prior to filing the final plat. LIGHTING/SIGNAGE The applicant has prepared a lighting plan for the proposed development. Lighting shall consist of 25 foot tall poles with a single light high pressure sodium metal halide lighting (250 watts) in a shoe-box type fixture. The proposed area lighting complies with city requirements. The developer is also proposing wall mounted units. These lights must be directed downward so that there is no glare directed off site. The applicant is proposing a 20 foot tall project identification sign on the Highway 5 side of the building and an eight foot tall monument sign on the south side of the building. These signs are permitted as specified in the development design standards and will be constructed of block to reflect the building materials. The developer has also shown areas allocated for tenant wall signage. Wall signage shall consist of black, reverse channel, metal letters. It should be noted that wall signage is only permitted on the north and south elevations of the building. A separate sign permit shall be required for each sign. (The landscaping plan shows a project identification sign with the TH 5 right-of-way. This is not permitted. The sign must maintain a setback at least half the parking lot setback. Additionally, the developer may need to enter into an encroachment agreement with the City of Chanhassen to locate the sign within the drainage and utility easements.) 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; CSM Bluff Creek Corporate Center September 19, 2000 Page 9 (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 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 development design standards for the Bluff Creek Corporate Center Plmmed Unit Development. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motions: "The Planning Commission recommends approval of the minor amendment to the Bluff Creek Corporate Center Design Standards changing the required parking setback from TH 5 to 10 feet." "The Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan #2000-11, plans prepared by Schoell & Madsen, Inc., dated August 18, 2000, subject to the following conditions: 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. CSM Bluff Creek Corporate Center September 19, 2000 Page 10 Site Plan approval is contingent on the final platting of the parcel into a Lot and Block designation. 3.

CSM Corporation Bluff Creek Corporate Center Phase 1 Hwy 5 and Stone Creek Drive Chanhassen, Minnesota Project Narrative Submitted August 18, 2000 Introduction This project narrative is being submitted on behalf of CSM Corporation for a proposed development located south of Hwy 5 and north of Coulter Boulevard at Stone Creek Drive. This submission is for the first phase of this development which consists of a one story, 67,664 sq. ft. office/office showroom building. The second phase of the development consists of a one story, 80,704 sq. ft. office/office showroom building. We anticipate submitting for site plan review for the second phase in the spring of 2000. The office component of the proposed development is anticipated to be 50% percent of the aggregate floor area. The Bluff Creek Corporate Center development by CSM will encompass approximately 13.61 acres of property and 148,368 sq. ft. of building once the two phases are complete. The property received a preliminary Planned Unit Development approval by the City of Chanhassen in Apkil of 1998. The request for the approval was submitted from the property's managing partner LandGroup, Inc.. CSM has been working with LandGroup's representative Liv Horneland to ensure that the design criteria of the site will be consistent with the original P.U.D. approval. Suzanne Bemdt of CSM Corporation is the project architect and will be responsible for the building design and detail and will be the primary contact for the City of Chanhassen throughout the review process. Schoeli & Madson, Inc. is serving as surveyor, engineer and landscape architectural consultant for this project. Schoell & Madson, Inc. is a planning and engineering firm located in Minnetonka. The firm has extensive previous experience in working with the City of Chanhassen. Ken Adolph we be the primary contact at Schoell & Madson. Schoell & Madson, Inc. was the engineering firm that represented LandGroup, Inc. during the preliminary P.U.D. approval process in April of 1998. Submittal The submittal is for a site plan review for Phase 1 and approval of a minor amendment to the Planned Unit Development. The subject property is guided for "Office/Industrial" land uses and is zoned a Planned Unit Development. The proposal is consistent with the current zoning, comprehensive guide plan and meets all code compliance criteria. August 18, 2000 CSM Corporation -1- NARRATIVE Bluff Creek Corporate Center The materials submitted with this narrative includes a completed application form for preliminary plat and site plan approval, list of property owners within 500 feet of the property, P.U.D. minor amendment request by LandGroup (attachment A of the narrative), wetland delineation, and the appropriate application fee. In addition, the following plan sheets are being submitted: Cover sheet Boundary & Existing Conditions Preliminary plat Preliminary grading, drainage, and erosion control plan Preliminary utility plan Preliminary landscape plan Preliminary site plan Site Line Study Building floor plan Building elevations Sign Criteria Site Lighting plans The minor amendment to the Planned unit development is a request to change the required setback off of the MNDot right-of-way for the future Hwy 5 expansion. Due to the additional land acquired for the right-of-way by MNDot, the original setbacks stated in the Bluff Creek design criteria no longer remain consistent with the intent of the original P.U.D. approval. We request that the original 70ft building setback and 50 fi parking setback off of the Hwy 5 right-of- way be reduced to a 30fi building setback and a 10 ft parking setback off of the Hwy 5 right-of- way. This reduction would allow the original intent of the preliminary P.U.D. approval to remain intact in addition to maintaining the density desired by both the city and the developer. A request for the minor amendment to the P.U.D. by the Bluff Creek Partners is attached to the narrative as "attachment A" which describes in more detail the background of the original intent of the approved setbacks. Existing Conditions The subject property is 13.61 acres in size with phase 1 encompassing 5.63 acres of the northern portion of the site. The existing legal description is Outlot C of the Bluff Creek Corporate Center. The property is bounded by Hwy 5 to the north and Coulter Boulevard to the south. To the east of the property is a tributary to Bluff Creek. To the southwest of phase 1 is the parcel that is owned by the Family of Christ Church which is part of the Bluff Creek development. To the west of Phase 1 lies outlot B which has been designated as the storm water drainage pond for the development. To the west of outlot B lies the main branch of Bluff Creek. Outlot B is owned by the church who has granted the development owners rights to use the pond for drainage. The pond has been properly sized to accept the proposed development submitted in April of 1998. The density of the April 1998 submission exceeds the proposed development therefore ensuring enough drainage capacity for the project. Run-offand storage calculation for 10 year and 100 year events were submitted to the city in April of 1998 and can be reviewed for proper capacity. Once a preliminary approval is achieved, revised calculations will be performed for the site.

A 75 ft private utility easement has been re-routed to run along the west side of phase 1 instead of running through the center of the site. A cul-de-sac has been added to the end of Stone Creek Drive per the requirements of the City of Chanhassen.

Lot 1 5.63 67,664 Lot 2 7.98 80,704 TOTAL 13.61 148,368 Preliminary Site Plan The site plan for Phase 1 consists of a 67,664 sq. ft. building specifically designed for office/manufacturing/warehouse use. The north fagade, which faces Hwy 5, will be the main entrance for tenants who occupy the building. The north, west and east side of the proposed building will contain a combination of parking and landscaping. The natural grading of the MNDot right of way along with the landscaping provided will work together to screen the parking yet still allow the building to be visible from Hwy 5. The south side of the building will serve as a truck court to service the future tenants. The truck court will be screened from the Hwy 5 public right-of-way by the building, berming and dense landscaping. The truck court will also be screened from Stone Creek Drive by berming and dense landscaping. Sidewalks extend to the parking lot from each of the five entry points to the building. A sidewalk from the west side of the parking lot is placed so that it can connect to the trail located in outlot B to be provided by the church property. The building is setback from the north property line 81 ft and the parking is setback 1 Oft. At the east property line the building is setback a minimum of 128 ft and the parking is setback 60ft. The building at the west side of the site is setback a minimum of 72 ft. and the parking is setback 15 ft. The south property line is a minimum of 100 fi to the building with. The paving of the truck court is setback 20ft from the Stone Creek Drive right-of-way. The design criteria for the Bluff Creek Corporate Center Development states that one lot may exceed 70% for hard surface coverage but that the hard surface coverage may not exceed 70% for the entire Bluff Creek Development. Phase 1 has a hard surface coverage of 72.1%. The table below summarizes the estimated hard surface coverage for the Bluff Creek Development.

There are 202 parking stalls provided on the site which meets the required number of stalls required by the City of Chanhassen in addition to accommodating the projected number of employees for the building. A crossover parking agreement is also agreed upon with the Family of Christ church to provide additional stalls for the development on the Church's lot during weekdays if the need arises.

Once a tenant lease is signed and interior improvements are approved, the location and quantity of car and van pool spaces and bike racks will be determined based on the entry locations and size of the tenants for the building. Submitted with the application is a Wetlands inventory and delineation for the Bluff Creek Corporate Center that was created in December of 1995. The report recognizes a small wetland "1-1" located in the center of the phase 1 site. With the April 1998 preliminary plan approval, a wetland alteration permit was issued to fill this small wetland on site. This wetland was filled and therefore is not a consideration with this submission. There is also a small wetland area at the Bluff Creek on the east side of the property that borders the east property line noted as "3-1". This wetland area will not be within the construction limits of phase one and will be left undisturbed. The landscape plan has utilized plant materials from the City's suggested planting list. The plan incorporates a variety of overstory trees, ornamental trees and shrubs. The lot will have an underground irrigation system. The plan provides a variety of plant materials that will supply year round color and significant screening of the parking and loading/service areas. August 18, 2000 CSM Corporation -4- NARRATIVE Bluff Creek Corporate Center Architectural Description Due to the high visibility of the building from the public right of ways, all elevations of the building will receive equal treatment in quality of materials. A combination of integrally colored concrete block, tinted glass, anodized aluminum framing, and textured Exterior Insulation Finish System (E.I.F.S.) are the field materials for the building. In order to provide a cohesive, thoughtful development, design feature used in the preliminary design of the church were used in the design of the phase 1 building. There is a similar vertical proportion of masonry and E.I.F.S with the 28'-0" high walls on the south elevation of the church. The cornice at the top of the walls also received a similar design treatment as the church. In addition, the vertical proportion of the window framing also complements the design of the church. The main entries of the building reside on the north elevation of the building which faces Highway 5. The entries are accentuated by the arched pre-finished metal canopies. Variation on building heights in addition to projecting out the intermediate entries provide visual relief for the" long fagade. An accent colored band of block in addition to decorative reveals in the E.I.F.S. add detailing that provides an additional interest to the building. The proposed design enables both the high quality of architectural standards required by the city and the economy the developer desires to provide a successful development. August 18, 2000 CSM Corporation -5- NARRATIVE Bluff Creek Corporate Center Amendment to PUD · Bluff Creek Partners It was the desire of the Council at the time the Planned Unit Development was approved to maximize the density and commercial development potential of the Bluff Creek property. In order to maintain the developable area of the site, the Council approved a 70' green area extending from the shoulder of the new location of Highway 5 to the parking area of the proposed development. This 70' area was later modified to 75' in the following PUD resolution. To further increase the density of the development, the Council also requested the owners enter into a crossover parking agreement with the Family of Christ Church providing for parking by commercial tenants on the Church's lot during weekdays. In keeping with the PUD as approved, we are, therefore, requesting the current green area on the northern portion of the Bluff Creek site along Highway 5 be maintained at 75' from the shoulder of the new highway location. We further request the PUD resolution be restated from providing for a MNDOT Right of Way of 25' and a setback from ROW of 50' to instead provide for a MNDOT ROW of 65' and a setback from the ROW of 10'. We understood that the City had agreed to require a 75' setback from the shoulder of the new highway location regardless of the location of the ROW. We therefore negotiated with MNDOT in good faith believing we had 75' of green area of which MNDOT could purchase as large an area is it desired without affecting the right to build up to 75' from the highway shoulder. Had we realized that it would be important, we would have negotiated with MNDOT for a taking of a fee interest in the ROW to 25' from the highway shoulder, with a slope easement of 50 feet, so that the setback line would stay at 75' from the shoulder. Now we understand that the City may believe that the 50' setback from the ROW line should still apply. Should the requirement of a 50' setback be applied to a new MNDOT ROW of 65', for a total of 115' feet, (which we do not believe is within the spirit of our earlier agreement with the City and not a correct interpretation of the 'earlier approval), the developable area of the site will be significantly impacted and the size and density of the development substantially reduced. The northem site is already significantly constrained by creeks on both sides, the somewhat triangular shape of the site, the highway on the north and a power line extending through it.
