BACKGROIIND
On March 13, 2000, the City Council approved the preliminary plat of 21.34 acres into 4 lots
(SUB-99-14) and Site Plan Review//99-19, approval of Phase I (Building A), 100 units, as
shown on the plans dated received December 3, 1999, revised February 2, 2000, and subject to
conditions. The City Council also approved an Amendment to the Lake Susan Hills PUD
contract to state the impervious surface coverage of the site cannot exceed 35%.
On April 10, 2000, the City Council approved the Final Plat for Subdivision #99-14 to replat
21.34 acres into 1 lot and 1 outlot for Powers Ridge Apartment Homes as shown on the plat
received March 6, 2000 with conditions. Site Plan approval was granted for phase I only because
that was the only building elevation that was submitted. Staff was hesitant in recommending
approval of building elevations we had not seen. The applicant finalized the plans for the
remaining buildings and is requesting site plan approval for the entire project.
PROPOSAl, SIJMMAR¥
The applicant is requesting, site plan approval to construct three apartment buildings (244 units)
on Outlot A. The buildings are proposed to be built in four phases. Phase I, an "L" shaped
building, located along the northeast corner of the site, containing 100 units (Building A), was
approved by the City Council on March 13, 2000 and will be located on Lot 1, Block 1, Powers
Ridge Apartment Homes. The lot has an area of 6.59 acres. Phase II consist of two buildings
(B1 & B2) connected through an underground garage. These buildings contain a total of 80
units. The community space (community room, swimming pool, wading pool, picnic area,
fountain, etc.) will also be constructed as part of Phase II. These buildings will be located on a
lot with an area of 7.86 acres. Phase III is building C. This building is located parallel to Lake
Drive West and contains 88 units. It will be located on 3.69 acres. The fourth and final phase is
a 76 unit Senior Independent Living Apartments (Building D), to be located on 3.20 acres.
Development of each phase will be contingent upon replatting the outlot into a lot and block.
This site was designated as a high density site as part of the Lake Susan Hills PUD approval.
The apartInents are proposed to be market rate rental and to be located on 4 lots. The 21.34 acre
s~te IS bordered by single family homes (Lake Susan Hills 1 Addition) to the south, industrial sites
. th th · · ·
(Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 7 & 8 Additions) and Lake Drive West to the north, Powers
Boulevard and Lake Susan Hills Townhomes to the east, and Sunset Park to the west. The gross
density is 16.1 units per acre. Access will be provided through two entrances on Lake Drive
West. The site is currently zoned PUD, guided for High Density Residential. Utilities are
available for the area.
When the City reviewed the first phase, it also covered the overall plan for all phases. This
approved master plan included landscaping, grading, drainage, hard surface coverage, sidewalks,
buffering, utilities, etc. One of the conditions of approval for the master plan stated, "Each phase
of the development shall conform to the overall master plan." The proposed plans comply with
Powers Ridge Apartment Homes
Phases II, II, and IV
June 6, 2000
Page 3
all the conditions of approval. One minor change deals with decks on Building B facing
southwest. These decks should be converted into bay windows.
This is a straightforward site plan and it complies with the overall master plan. Staff is
recommending approval with conditions.
ANAINSIS
ARCHITECTURE/SITE PI,AN
The proposal is for the remaining three 3 story buildings, each with underground parking and
community space. Each building will provide approximately 2,400 square feet of community
space for uses such as multi-purpose room, exercise room, library, hobbies, etc. In addition, the
buildings will share one community space in the center of the four apartment buildings. This
location serves two purposes. It is centrally located and it breaks up the parking lot by
redirecting the focus to the activities in the center. This space is proposed to include a one story.
2,020 square foot community use building, swimming and wading pools, playground ~'or younger
children, picnic area, gardens, and fountain. Sidewalks surround the community space making it
pedestrian friendly.
The apartment buildings are proposed to range between 1 and 3 bedroom apartments. Each
apartment has a deck (the applicant has converted the decks on Building B, facing the neighbors,
to Bay Windows as a response to the neighborhood request and staff is recommending that the
apartments facing the southeast be converted into bay windows as well). The exterior materials
on all buildings will consist of brick and siding. All buildings are similar in design. The colors
are proposed to be muted, earth tones.
The roof pitch on the apartments and community buildings is shown at 4:12, which is consistent
~ ith the overall master plan.
The proposed buildings maintain a minimum 137 foot setback from the existing residential single
family homes to the south, 100 feet from Sunset Park to the west (which are part of the Lake
Susan Hills PUD). The buildings are also proposed to maintain 50 feet from Lake Drive West.
There are no internal setbacks since the site is serviced internally by a private street.
DENSITY
This proposal is for phase II, III, and IV of Powers Ridge Apartment Homes. The overall gross
density is 16.1 units per acre. The site is zoned PUD, high density residential. The PUD
agreement specifies that the total number of multi family units on this site not exceed 375, or a
density greater than 17.4 units/acre. The number of units on this site is 344 with a density of
16.1, which is less than that permitted by the agreement.

HARD SIYRFACE COVERAGE
The PUD agreement specifies a maximum hard surface coverage on the site not to exceed 35%.
The applicant is proposing 33.7% hard surface coverage.
PARKING
The PUD governing this proposal requires parking to meet the R-12 standards. Parking plans
meet ordinance requirements. Under the R-12 parking district requirements, the applicant must
provide 2 parking spaces per unit, one and a half of which must be enclosed. Senior Housing
parking requirement may be reduced due to the low demand generated by seniors.
The total enclosed parking required is 478. The applicant is providing 478 enclosed spaces. For
individual buildings, the enclosed parking may exceed or be short of ordinance requirements, as
shown in the table below

*According to city bufl~er yard ordinance, thc prqject developer is responsible for only 75% of the required plantings. Abutting property owners
may plant the remaining 25% on their property.
The applicant's plans meet minimum requirements for buffer yard, boulevard, and parking lot
landscaping.
The applicant has submitted ground cover plan showing areas of seed or sod. Minimum
maintenance areas have been seeded with a ground cover that will not require mowing. These
areas are generally sloped and would be difficult to manicure.
The PUD agreement also states that the applicant shall provide $500.00 of landscaping per
multiple family unit. This would translate to $172,000. The applicant is providing landscaping
that exceeds $300,000. Staff is requiring the applicant to provide the city with a cost estimate for
the required landscaping at the time of building permit approval.
I,IGHTING
A lighting plan was submitted with photometrics as part of the master plan. The plan meets
ordinance requirements. Decorative lights will be used at entrances into the site, buildings, or the
community space. Shoebox type lights are used in the parking lots. All light fixtures are
shielded as required by ordinance.

WETI rANDS
There are two ag/urban wetlands located on-site. The wetland located on the south side of the
property is directly adjacent to the existing Lake Susan Hills development. This wetland has been
influenced by agricultural activities to the north and residential development to the south. An
existing buffer, approximately 15- 20 feet, remains intact around the edge of the wetland. The
wetland contains an open water area that remains inundated throughout the year. When the Lake
Susan Hills development was constructed, an outlet structure was installed to maintain the
existing water level. This wetland requires a 50 foot setback (including an average 10 foot
buffer), which the applicant has included in the plans. The applicant is also constructing a pond
to pre-treat runoff before it enters this wetland.
The second wetland on-site is located on the east edge of the property along Powers Boulevard.
This basin is classified as an ag/urban wetland, but it has actually been used as a stormwater
pond for a number of years. Runoff from the Lake Susan Hills development, Powers Boulevard .
and the existing agricultural land are directed to this area before entering the City's trunk storm
sewer system. The applicant has proposed to expand this existing wetland to treat runoff and
meet water quality requirements.
The applicant will be required to re-seed any disturbed wetland areas xvith MnDOT seed mix 25
A, or a similar seed mix approved for wetland soil conditions. Drainage and utility easements
will be required over all existing and proposed wetlands, ponds and buffer strips. Wetland buffer
areas should be surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. The City
will install wetland buffer edge signs and will charge the applicant $20 per sign.
SIIRFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PliANT (SWMP)
The applicant is responsible for a total SWMP fee of $3,742.00. This fee covers: 1. Water quality and
quantity fees fbr Phase I; and 2. Water quality and quantity credits for the entire site. The fees are
payable to the City at time of final plat recording.
V/al'er Quality Fees
Because of the high percentage of impervious surface associated with this development, the water
quality fees for this proposed development are baSed on commercial land use at $1,640/acre. Based on
the proposed Phase I developed area of 6.59 acres, the water quality fees associated with this project are
$10,808.
The applicant has proposed water quality ponds to treat runoff for 20.34 acres of the entire site (21.34
acres). The applicant is therefore eligible for a water quality credit of $33,358.

~ater Quantity Fees
The SWMP established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average citywide rate
tbr the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land acquisition, proposed SWMP
culverts, open channels and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage. High-density developments
have a connection charge of $4,360 per developable acre. The applicant has proposed one outlet control
structure, which is eligible for a $2,500 credit. Therefore, the applicant is responsible for a $26,232.00
fee.

GRADING
The site received preliminary and final plat approval for Phase I back in April 2000. The grading
plans for this submittal conforms with the overall approved grading plans for the subdivision. The
entire site will be graded under Phase I. The first floor and lowest floor elevations of the building
need to be noted on the grading plan.
EROSION CONTROl,
Erosion control measures are proposed around the grading limits, storm water ponds and wetlands in
accordance with the City's Best Management Practices. Erosion control measures will be installed in
conjunction with the plat improvements.
UTII ]TIES
Municipal sewer and water is indirectly available to the site from Lake Drive West. Since the site is

platted as an outlot the developer will be responsible for extending sewer and water improvements to
provide service to the interior lots of the development. The extension of utilities throughout this plat
will require submittal of detailed construction plans and specifications in accordance with the City's
latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates for staff review and City Council approval.
The construction plans and specifications will need to be submitted a minimum of three weeks prior
to final consideration. Staff will perform a greater level of review of the utility layout upon submittal
of the detailed construction plans and specifications. The developer will be required to enter into a
development contact/PUD agreement with the city and provide a financial security in the form of a
letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee installation of the public improvements and conditions of
final plat approval. The individual sewer and water services to each lot shall be privately owned and
maintained by the property owner or association. Building permits will be required from the City's
Building Department for the private utility portion of the project. Drainage and utility easements shall
be dedicated over the public utility lines outside of the right-of-way on the final plat. Depending on
the depth of the utilities, the minimum drainage and utility easement width shall be 20 feet wide.

Site Plan Review for Phases II, II! and IV, Powers Ridge Apartments
Land Use Review File No. 00-11
Upon review of the plans prepared by Loucks & Associates, Inc. dated May 17,
2000, I offer the following comments and recommendations:
WETLANDS
There are two ag/urban wetlands located on-site. The wetland located on the
south side of the property is directly adjacent to the existing Lake Susan Hills
development. This wetland has been influenced by agricultural activities to the
north and residential development to the south. An existing buffer, approximately
15- 20 feet, remains intact around the edge of the wetland. The wetland contains
an open water area that remains inundated throughout the year. When the Lake
Susan Hills development was constructed, an outlet structure was installed to
maintain the existing water level. This wetland requires a 50 foot setback
(including an average 10 foot buffer), which the applicant has included in the
plans. The applicant is also constructing a pond to pre-treat runoff before it enters
this wetland.
The second wetland on-site is located on the east edge of the property along
Powers Boulevard. This basin is classified as an ag/urban wetland, but it has
actually been used as a stormwater pond for a number of years. Runoff from the
Lake Susan Hills development, Powers Boulevard and the existing agricultural
land are directed to this area before entering the City's trunk storm sewer system.
The applicant has proposed to expand this exiSting wetland to treat runoff and
meet water quality requirements.
The applicant will be required to re-seed any disturbed wetland areas with
MnDOT seed mix 25 A, or a similar seed mix approved for wetland soil
conditions. Drainage and utility easements will be required over all existing and
proposed wetlands, ponds and buffer strips. Wetland buffer areas should be
surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. The City ~vill
install wetland buffer edge signs and will charge the applicant $20 per sign.

SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLANT (SWMP}'
The applicant is responsible for a total SWMP fee of $3,742.00. This fee covers: 1. Water quality
and quantity fees for Phase I; and 2. Water quality and quantity credits for the entire site. The fees
are payable to the City at time of final plat recording.
Water Quality Fees
Because of the high percentage of impervious surface associated with this development, the water
quality fees for this proposed development are based on commercial land use at $1,640/acre. Based
on the proposed Phase I developed area of 6.59 acres, the water quality fees associated with this
project are $10,808.
The applicant has proposed water quality ponds to treat runoff for 20.34 acres of the entire site
(21.34 acres). The applicant is therefore eligible for a water quality credit of $33,358.

Waler QuanliO~ Fees ,
The SWMP established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average
citywide 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. High-
density developments have a com~ection charge of $4,360 per developable acre. The applicant has
proposed one outlet control structure, which is eligible for a $2,500 credit. Therefore, the applicant
is responsible for a $26,232.00 fee.

Drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated over all existing and proposed
wetlands, ponds and buffer strips.
o
Wetland buffer areas shall be surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland
ordinance. The City will install wetland buffer edge signs and will charge the applicant $20
