Planning Commission Chanhassen Pioneer Cemetery — Planning Case 2013 -24 November 5, 2013 Page 2 of 4 APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Chapter 8: City Cemetery Chapter 2: Duties and Powers of the Planning Commission Chapter 20: Landscaping and Tree Removal The Pioneer Cemetery was established in 1861 by early pioneers of Chanhassen. In 1987, the private cemetery association requested that the city take over ownership and maintenance of the cemetery. The membership was aging and not capable of the task any longer. The city council approved the acquisition and the association turned over $16,000 from their treasury to the city. The city is responsible for marking graves for excavation and monument placement, mowing the grass, sod/seed new grave sites, grave sales, working with funeral directors and excavators, recordkeeping, etc. Planning Commission Chanhassen Pioneer Cemetery — Planning Case 2013 -24 November 5, 2013 Page 3 of 4 The oldest grave in the Pioneer Cemetery is from 1855, which was originally located outside the cemetery description. With the platting of the Timberwood Estates subdivision, the city sought to remedy this by creating Outlot A and requiring the developer dedicate it to the city (Attachment #1). The Pioneer Cemetery is a legal non - conforming use and is regulated by Chapter 8 of the City Code and full development of the site is permitted. ANAYLSIS Currently the cemetery contains 720 plotted individual grave sites (Attachment #10), of which 612 are usable and sold (shown in yellow). The eastern and southernmost rows (108 graves shown in green) are not usable due to dense buckthorn, overgrown shrubs and trees, and terrain. In late 2009, staff met on site to determine how the easternmost (top) row of graves could be made usable. The northeast property pin was located, however the southeast property pin could not be found. The location of the northeast property boundary identifies space for an additional 216 graves that could be plotted (shown in red). Due to existing large trees that could be saved, the city could choose not to utilize all of the treed plots. The city forester completed a tree inventory and determined that of the 32 trees on the eastern property line, only 8 are of desirable species or size (see Attachment #4). Many are box elders, poplar or ash trees that are either small or not structurally sound. The buckthorn is thick and has started to encroach into the usable graves. A survey of the property boundaries and the future plots would be required. The current overgrowth has created a natural buffer to neighboring uses on the southern and eastern boundary. The city has an ordinance that considers buffering between different land uses. In this instance both the land uses are low density so no buffer is required. Based on the cemetery use and the proximity to residential homes, staff would recommend evergreen trees be planted along the eastern boundary, and would consider landscaping along Lukewood Drive. The city would also remove the trees not to be saved and grade the site to prepare it for future graves. RECOMMENDATION Based on city code, the city is allowed to develop the cemetery property to its full potential, which includes tree removal and grading. However, prior to any development, staff is recommending that the property be surveyed to confirm the property boundaries. Additionally, to be a good neighbor, staff is recommending that a landscape buffer be added to the eastern property line and possibly the southern property line to screen the cemetery from neighboring properties.

Chanhassen City Code Chapter 20 Zoning Article XXVI. — Landscaping and Tree Removal DIVISION 1. - GENERALLY Sec. 20 -1176. — Intent, scope and compliance. (a) The intent of this ordinance is to improve the appearance of vehicular use areas and property abutting public rights -of -way; to require buffering between noncompatible land uses; and to protect, preserve and promote the aesthetic appeal, character and value of the surrounding neighborhoods; to promote public health and safety through the reduction of noise pollution, air pollution, visual pollution and glare. (b) Except for buffer yard requirements specified in subsection 20- 1176(f) below, this ordinance does not apply to single - family developments in Al, A2, RR, RSF, and R4 zoning districts which are regulated by landscaping requirements contained in the subdivision ordinance (chapter 18). (c) No new site development, building, structure or vehicular use area is allowed, unless landscaping is provided as required in this ordinance. (d) No property lines shall be altered nor shall any building, structure or vehicular use area be expanded, unless the minimum landscaping required by the provisions of this ordinance is provided for the entire property. (e) The landscaping standards shall provide for screening for visual impacts associated with a given use, including but not limited to: (1) Truck loading areas; (2) Trash storage; (3) Parking lots, interior lot areas and perimeters; (4) Large unadorned building massing; (5) Garage doors associated with auto oriented uses; and (6) Vehicular stacking areas for drive through uses. (f) Buffering shall be provided between high intensity and low intensity uses, between a site and major streets and highways, and in areas where buffering is required by the comprehensive plan. Such buffering shall be located within a required buffer yard. The buffer yard is a unit of yard together with the planting required thereon. The amount of land and the type and amount of planting specified for each buffer yard required by this subsection are designed to ameliorate nuisances between adjacent land uses or between a land use and a public road. The planting units required of buffer yards have been calculated to ensure that they do, in fact, function to "buffer." (1) Buffer yards shall be located on the outer perimeter of a lot or parcel extending to the lot or parcel boundary line, except where easements, covenants or natural features may require the buffer yard to be set back from the property line. Subject to review and approval by the city engineering department, buffer yards that are compatible with the typical city boulevard planting requirements may be located within a portion of an existing municipal public collector or arterial right -of -way. (2) To determine the buffer yard required between two adjacent parcels or between a parcel and a street, the following procedure shall be followed: a. Identify the proposed land use of the parcel and the land use of the adjacent parcel or functional classification of abutting right -of -way based on the city future land use plan. b. Determine the buffer yard required on each boundary, or segment thereof, of the property by referring to the following table of buffer yard requirements and illustrations set at the end of subsection (2), which specify the buffer yard required between adjacent uses and streets. c. Buffer yard requirements are stated in terms of the width of the buffer yard and the number of plant units required per 100 linear feet of buffer yard. Each illustration depicts the minimum buffer yard required between two uses or adjacent to a collector or arterial right -of -way. The project developer shall be responsible for providing 75 percent of the required plantings. If abutting property owner(s) desire to bring the buffering to 100 percent of the required buffer yard plantings, then the adjacent property owner(s) may install the remaining 25 percent of the required plantings on their own property. When the parcel abuts public property, such as roads or parks, the developer shall be responsible for 100 percent of the required plantings. d. Whenever a wall, fence, or berm is required within a buffer yard, these are shown as "structure required" in the buffer yard illustrations. The erection and maintenance of all required structures shall be the responsibility of the buffer yard provider (project developer). Maintenance of the structure shall be the responsibility of the landowner on whose property the structure is located. e. All buffer yards shall be maintained free from all forms of development or storage of equipment or materials. A ground cover of vegetative or organic material shall be provided. Buffer yards shall be maintained free from junk and debris. Dead or diseased vegetation shall be removed and replaced with healthy vegetation. The responsibility to maintain, remove or replace plant materials shall be that of the landowner on whose property the plant material needing maintenance or replacement is located. 2 TABLE OF BUFFER YARD REQUIREMENTS Proposed Development Adjacent Land Use LL/LD MD HD OFF MIX COM PUB ACT PASS OFF /IND LL /LD none B C C C D B B A D MD none A B B C D B B A D HD none A A B C D B B A D OFF none B B A B B B B B B MIX none C C B B B C C C B COM none C D B B A C C C B PUB none A A B C C A A A C ACT none A B B B C A A A C PASS none A A B B C A A A C OFF/IND none C C B B B C B B B ROAD B B B B B B B B B C The land use abbreviations are as follows: LL/LD —Large lot and low density residential MI)--Medium density residential HC —High density residential OFF —Office MIX —Mixed use COM —Commercial PUB---Public /semi - public ACT — Active park/open space PASS — Passive park/open space OFF/IND— Office /industrial DIVISION 2. - TREE PRESERVATION See. 20 -1178. - Generally. (a) It is the policy of the city to preserve natural woodland areas throughout the city and with respect to specific site development to retain as far as practical, substantial tree stands which can be incorporated into the overall landscape plan. (b) No clear cutting of woodland areas shall be permitted except as approved in a subdivision, planned unit development or site plan application. (c) The standards in City Code subsection 18 -61(d) shall be used in evaluating site plans. 3 CITY OF CHANHASSEN CARVER & HENNEPIN COUNTIES NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PLANNING CASE NO. 2013-24 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Chanhassen Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, November 5, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers in Chanhassen City Hall, 7700 Market Blvd. The purpose of this hearing is to Review City Cemetery Property and Operations on property located at 8151 Galpin Boulevard.
