12 2009 SUBJ Review Groundwater Well Study and Water Quality Improvement Options for Well 4 Project No 09 02 BACKGROUND The City of Chanhassen has recently experienced several significant events related to the adequacy and reliability of its potable drinking water supply In the summer of 2007 two of its shallower wells Wells 5 and 6 experienced rapidly decreasing water levels and became unusable They have not recovered since that time and remain out of service Other wells in Chanhassen s and nearby Eden Prairie s well supply network have seen declining water levels in recent years which translates into declining yields The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services has been working on a regional water supply model and master plan that identifies issues each city in the area must consider when planning water appropriations Part of that planning process suggested the possibility of significant additional drawdown in the aquifers supplying Chanhassen and the potential to impact nearby natural resources with future withdrawals Significant additional drawdown in the City s main aquifer could result in the loss of additional wells Finally Well 4 has elevated levels of radium a naturally occurring contaminant which are within the Minnesota Department of Health guildeline levels however higher than what we would like to see As a result of these issues the City has undertaken this well siting study and water quality improvement options for Well 4 OVERVIEW The purpose of this study was to guide the City in planning out its future water supply in general and provide specific guidance for future well locations in its East and West wellfields that will be able to supply water to the city as it grows The planning period for this study runs to ultimate build out of the city water system which will occur when the city reaches ultimate population The following specific elements were addressed in this study Chanhassen is a Community for Life Providing for Today and Planning for Tomorrow A 4 Todd Gerhardt Review Groundwater Well Study January 12 2009 Page 2 Aquifer Yield Assessment Provide a qualitative assessment of whether or not the Jordan aquifer alone can supply all of the city s future water needs Provide a similar qualitative assessment of the Franconia Ironton Galesville FIG aquifer s ability to augment the City s current well network and serve as an average day water source Well Locations The study is intended to help the City estimate the amount of new wells necessary to meet peak summer demands and plan for the approximate locations of new wells in and near the two existing wellfields while also meeting safe yield requirements listed in the State Rules This includes an evaluation that will take into account receding water levels that may occur in the Chanhassen wells as appropriations in the area mcrease Potential Contaminants For this element a preliminary review of MPCA and related resources will be conducted to locate known potential sources of contamination located in or near enough to Chanhassen to be of concern This is limited to known releases and documented groundwater contamination in the aquifers of concern Well 4 Water Quality Improvements A recommendation for water quality improvements RECOMMENDATIONS Aquifer Yield Assessment After performing the modeling and reviewing past studies the following conclusions were reached regarding the aquifers in the city 1 The shallow sand and gravel aquifer of Wells 5 6 cannot be considered a viable source for the future unless some form of augmentation is planned such as aquifer storage and recovery this is a process where water from another source is treated and then pumped down into the aquifer and stored for later reuse Well 11 is also in the gravel aquifer however currently has 200 ft of static water level over the pump While the city will continue to use Chanhassen Well 11 the City will need to monitor this well closely to see ifit will be a long term viable municipal source of water 2 The Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer appears to be able to supply the City the water it needs both now and into the future but localized drawdown conditions at specific wells will continue to be a problem New wells will be needed to meet future demands and those wells should be sited carefully and as far apart as reasonable to limit interference Due to the trends of lowering water levels it is recommended that the City pursue wells in another aquifer as a hedge against potential future problems It is recommended that the City consider at least one FIG well in each major wellfield If drawdown continues to be a concern in the Jordan then it is possible that additional FIG wells could be added as needed to augment the City supply 3 The Franconia Ironton Galesville aquifer could not be studied in depth for this evaluation since little geological information is available about the aquifer in this area however a preliminary review of the data available suggest that the aquifer should be able to support two 500 to 600 gpm wells even considering future drawdowns likely to be caused by growing communities to the west of Chanhassen The modeling performed for this report included a preliminary look at the FIG g eng public 2009 projects 09 02 well 4 water quality improvements 09 02 ws bkgd feasiblity report review doc 5 Todd Gerhardt Review Groundwater Well Study January 12 2009 Page 3 aquifer Model results show static water levels at least 300 feet of water above the top of the FIG aquifer in most all parts of Chanhassen even after drawdown from future growth is considered Even with the poor yields common in the FIG yields of 500 to 600 gpm or more could be expected depending on specific local aquifer characteristics Questions remain concerning the properties of the FIG aquifer in the Chanhassen area and the degree of hydraulic connection between this aquifer and the overlying Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer which would need to be addressed before committing to municipal wells in the FIG aquifer For this reason before any FIG well is considered a testing well should be drilled and a pump test should be completed Well Locations Five new wells will be required to provide firm capacity at peak summer demand in 2030 Based on this report an additional well may be necessary between 2025 and 2030 to provide firm capacity at peak summer demands This new well should be added into the 2009 rate structure between years 2025 and 2030 A total of 14 potential well sites were reviewed for this report The groundwater modeling suggests that each of the 14 potential well sites will likely be able to support a new 1 000 gpm Prairie du Chien Jordan well A map of the well sites is shown on the attached figure Sites 2 and 10 are very near the eroded edge of the Jordan Sandstone If those sites are chosen exploratory borings should be performed in advance of the well drilling to ensure that they are viable sites Sites that performed very well include 2 7 8 and 10 Sites that performed well include 5 6 12 and 14 Sites that performed adequately include 1 3 4 9 this is the proposed Well 14 site 11 and 13 Chanhassen Well 4 Water Quality Improvements and Future Well 14 Planning Two alternatives related to the treatment of Chanhassen Well 4 raw water were detailed in this report The first option is to pipe the raw water from the well to the East Treatment Plant and the other option is to construct an on site package plant for treatment A cursory review was also completed of sealing the most probable geological area which is most likely causing the water quality problems This option was not recommended or reviewed further in any great detail because it would most likely reduce the production of the well as much as half Converting this well to an ASR well was also reviewed but not recommended because of government agency reviews and approvals that would be required and because of concerns for likelihood of success Drilling a new well was also considered but deemed not cost effective Based on this analysis it was determined more cost effective to connect Chanhassen Well 4 to the East Treatment Plant than to construct an on site treatment plant for iron manganese and radium removal Piping Well 4 to the East Treatment Plant would cost an estimated 700 000 to 920 000 while constructing and on site package treatment plant would cost approximately 1 1 to 1 5 million A benefit of constructing a pipe from Well 4 to the East Water Treatment Plant is this pipe can also be used for a future well along the corridor Attachments g eng public 2009 projects 09 02 well 4 water quality improvements 09 02 ws bkgd feasiblity report review doc 6 Barr Engineering Company 4700 West

Background The City of Chanhassen has recently experienced several significant events related to the adequacy and reliability of its potable drinking water supply In the summer of 2007 two of its shallower wells Wells 5 and 6 experienced rapidly decreasing water levels and became unusable They have not recovered since that time and remain out of service These wells supplied the recently completed East Water Treatment Plant so their loss not only reduced total supply but also the treated supply which was the highest quality water produced in the City Even before these wells failed the City s wells were operating near capacity during peak summer pumping Other wells in Chanhassen s and nearby Eden Prairie s well supply network have also seen declining water levels in recent years In addition to this two of the City s remaining wells have other issues that must be addressed to ensure long term reliability Well 4 has elevated levels of radium a naturally occurring contaminant that occasionally exceed water quality standards In addition to this during a recent attempt to rehabilitate Well 3 an old drill bit was found to be stuck in the hole which limits the work that can be done to the well and in turn lowers its reliability Finally the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services has been working on a regional water supply master plan that identifies issues each city in the area must consider when planning water appropriations Part of that planning process suggested the possibility of significant additional draw down in the aquifers supplying Chanhassen and the potential to impact nearby natural resources with future withdrawals Significant additional drawdown in the City s main aquifer could result in the loss of additional wells As a result of these issues the City

Chanhassen in planning out its future water supply in general and provide specific guidance for future well locations in its East and West Well Fields that will be able to supply water to the city as it grows The planning period for this study runs to ultimate build out of the city water system which will occur when the city reaches ultimate population The following specific elements will be addressed in this study Well Locations The study is intended to help the City plan the approximate locations of new wells in and near the two existing well fields that will meet ultimate water demands while also meeting safe yield requirements listed in the State Rules This includes an evaluation that will take into account receding water levels that may occur in the Chanhassen wells as appropriations in the area increase Potential Contaminants For this element a preliminary review of MPCA and related resources will be conducted to locate known potential sources of contamination located in or near enough to Chanhassen to be of concern This is limited to known releases and documented groundwater contamination in the aquifers of concern Well 4 and Well 14 Planning Provide

assessment of whether or not the Jordan aquifer alone can supply all of the city s future water needs Provide a similar qualitative assessment of the Franconia Ironton Galesville FIG aquifer s ability to augment the City s current well network and serve as a backup supply source In order to cover these items the report will be broken down into four main sections including I Water System Constraints

existing and future system for which the well siting modeling will be done This section will include a summary of the wells that are currently utilized by the city followed by a discussion of known aquifer contamination that might impact well locations This section will conclude with a look forward that will summarize the future average and peak day demand that will be used in modeling Barr will

modeling work that went into the well siting portion of this effort This section will include a summary of model purpose and scope modeling assumptions and the model refinement effort This will be followed by a description of the model runs including a simulation of the ultimate average pumping conditions and a simulation of the projected maximum water The section will conclude with a summary of the modeling results and cover the qualitative assessment of the Jordan aquifer Barr will use the recently completed metro area groundwater model prepared for the Metropolitan Council to estimate the impacts of new wells on the Jordan aquifer in Chanhassen and to site wells in the city s two well fields The third section Existing Well 4 and Future Well 14 Considerations will deal specifically with connecting existing Well 4 to the East Treatment Plant Included in this section will be a qualitative assessment of the treatment needed at Well 4 along with cost estimates comparing an on site package plant to connecting the well to the existing East Treatment Plant The fourth and final section Conclusions and Recommendations will summarize the findings in the previous sections in the form of recommendations of action that the City of Chanhassen should take A summary of the aquifer yield assessment mentioned above will be included in this section of the memorandum P Mpls 23 MN IO

Engineering Co Results of Well Location Screening Modeling December 22nd 2008 4 Water System Constraints In any well siting plan it is critical to identify constraints that will shape the effort A constraint is defined as a condition that must be met in order for a proposed well site to be considered The goal of this effort is to identify well sites which will meet these constraints As the need arises for a new well the City can then select from these well sites using project specific criteria that might not be known at this time or might change from what they are today The constraints that will be used in determining well sites that will be modeled include Only well sites proposed by the city will be considered Wells will only be modeled in the Jordan Aquifer Only current city supply wells considered reliable will be used in future projections Existing wells will be modeled at sand free A WW A standards sustainable pumping rates This means the starting point for well pumping rates in the model may not match what the City normally considers the rate for a given well to be This will be further explained below The total yield of the wells modeled must equal the ultimate peak day demand for the city The configuration of the future well fields must be set up to feed two water treatment plants the existing East Treatment Plant and the proposed West Treatment Plant Existing Wells The city currently has infrastructure for 12 wells in place including Wells 2 througb 13 Well 1 was the City s original well and has since been abandoned and sealed All of the existing wells are completed in one of two aquifers the regional Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer or a shallower local sand and gravel aquifer located in the glacial drift Two of the wells completed in this shallower sand and gravel aquifer Wells 5 and 6 are no longer in service since water levels in them dropped to a point where they could not be used in the summer of 2007 A third well located in this same aquifer Well 11 will be excluded from long term consideration since it cannot be considered a reliable source given what happened to Wells 5 and 6 In addition to this Well 3 was recently partially rehabilitated and found to have an old drilling bit stuck down in the open hole limiting its sand free pumping rate to 800 gpm The remainder of the wells produce water at various rates as shown in the

of Natural Resources Division of Waters and Metropolitan Council Water Emergency and Conservation Plans work sheet The Modeling Rate is that rate used in the computer model for calculating drawdown and well interference and assessing the viability of future well sites These rates are nominal well production rates that represent a reasonable estimate of anticipated long term sustainable rates at the wells The rates are allowed to vary within the model depending upon the water level within the aquifer so it is not critical that they represent the exact current actual well capacity Furthermore actual well production rates vary depending upon a number of circumstances including but not limited to hydrogeologic well interference hydraulic pump interference operational settings weather patterns such as drought and the condition of the pumping equipment Table I summarizes the well rates and notes which water plant they would serve The different water plants are further described

considered converting it to a permanent well when Wells 5 and 6 failed However it was subsequently discovered that it was not constructed to current code and would require significant costly and time consuming repairs to convert the well into a permanent City well Because of this efforts have been focused on siting new wells and adding treatment to Well 4 to bring it back into regular use P Mpls

Barr Engineering Co Results of Well Location Screening Modeling December 22nd 2008 6 Water Levels Water levels in all of the City s wells have declined over the years Similar declines in water levels have been observed in nearby communities such as Eden Prairie Some of the declines in Chanhassen s wells have resulted in significant problems including the failure of Wells 5 and 6 and the need to deepen pump settings in other wells Most of the reasons for the declines are related to increasing population and the climate As a population grows so does its demand for water When dry cycles hit the region the increased population produces higher and higher peak demands during summer months when lawn irrigation is greatest Whenever these dry cycles run for extended periods the source aquifer becomes more stressed than it in the past due to the greater demand Levels in individual wells can drop down to the pump causing reduced yield or even pump failure In the past water levels would drop during heavy summer use then rebound to normal levels in the winter when demand diminished During these times winter water levels would be close enough to that of the previous year so as not to raise any concern In recent years even winter water levels have been lower than those recorded in previous winters Some of this may be attributable to recent drought conditions which have reduced aquifer recharge However the significant increase in population and related increase in water use has likely been the most significant cause The water level fluctuation in Chanhassen is not entirely unexpected given the increase in water demand and the recent drought conditions However because of the proximity of the Prairie du Chien to the surface in Chanhassen the fluctuation is of greater concern since it is resulting in water levels closer to the top of the source aquifer and is often close to pump setting elevations There are three things that are of concern first the trend has been decreasing levels year over year second there is evidence that since about the year 2000 the magnitude of fluctuation between summer and winter has been more severe and third the summer drop has been bad enough to require lowering pump settings and in some cases is approaching the lowest levels that the well can support All of the wells lowest readings have all occurred in the last eight years and Wells 5 and 6 failed during this time The groundwater flow model used in the well siting work is described later in this report and was calibrated to existing data which shows the fluctuations The City should continue to carefully monitor water levels noting monthly and annual minimum and maximum static and pumping water levels for each well This data should be reviewed regularly to determine if water levels are continuing to decline to a point where additional action will be needed P Mpls 23 MN IO 2310100100 Chanhassen Well Siting Study WorkFiles modeling report Well Siting Memo inal doc

Contamination The city has one well with a known contamination issue related to a naturally occurring contaminant In the past Well 4 has tested positive for radium The regulatory limit for this contaminant is 5 pCi l and the well has tested as high as 6 8 pCi l Radium is naturally occurring and usually associated with sandstone aquifers In the Metro area it is more commonly found in the Mt Simon Hinckley formation but occasionally shows up in some Jordan wells It can also occur in portions of the FIG aquifer and the open hole portion of this well extends into that formation Past studies of this contaminant show no discernable pattern to the occurrence of this contaminant Because of this well sites will not be screened to limit the possibility of encountering this contaminant Maps showing the potential contaminant source inventory are shown on Figures 1 and 2 There are no significant issues that would result in eliminating any of the potential well sites considered in this study The only caveat to this is for potential Well sites 3 4 11 and 12 which are in the northwestern part of the City down gradient and relatively close to several MPCA multi sites Should one of these sites be selected for a future well Barr recommends that the status of those sites be verified If concern arises then a groundwater sample should be collected and tested prior to committing to a new well Figure 1 shows the potential contaminant sources with respect to the city s existing wells while Figure 2 shows the same information with respect to the potential well sites This map is a compilation of known and reported contamination sources It is a compilation of the regulatory data that are readily available Barr Engineering Co cannot guarantee that the aquifers under investigation are free of contamination However it is important to note that the City has completed a well head protection plan as required by the State and according to City staff none of the wells were considered vulnerable This does not guarantee that Chanhassen s wells cannot be contaminated from surface sources but it does suggest that contamination is not likely This is largely due to the significant layer of clay present in this area that separates the surface from the source aquifers Future Average and Peak Day Demand The well siting model utilizes both the average and peak day demand for Chanhassen as well as surrounding communities The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services has compiled projected water demand data for all of the communities in the metropolitan area The data is used in the model to represent the water demand for each of the surrounding communities for the year 2030 The ultimate day demand data for the city of Chanhassen was taken from the water section of City s P Mpls

roughly 12 400 gpm The peaking factor used in planning was 3 1 therefore the average day demand is projected to be 5 8 MGD or 4 000 gpm While not identical they are in line with what MCES is projecting for ultimate demand in Chanhassen in the year 2050 Future System Description The current plan for Chanhassen is to construct a second water treatment plant on the west side of town The plan is for the current East Side treatment plant and the Future West Side treatment plant to each produce 6 000 gpm of finished water The well siting modeling effort recognizes this plan by dedicating each existing well to one of these two plants Under this plan the current wells can supply a total of 5 000 gpm of water to the East Plant assuming that Well 4 is connected to the plant and Well 11 is excluded from future consideration and 3 800 gpm to the future West Side plant Under the final three modeling scenarios future wells are modeled that approximately fill out the remaining supply to each plant up to at least 6 000 gpm Well Siting Modeling Purpose and Scope This section of the technical memorandum summarizes the results of groundwater flow modeling to verify if the proposed future water supply well locations provided by the City of Chanhassen will be able to supply water for the city to ultimate build out The City of Chanhassen provided Barr Engineering Co with a list of 14 possible well locations for consideration which are shown on Figure 2 These are sites that are either already owned by the City or are potentially available for purchase These 14 sites were evaluated in the newly developed Metro Model groundwater flow model developed by Barr for the Metropolitan Council by using the model to simulate pumping conditions during peak regional demand periods that the Metropolitan Council projects for the year 2030 For this study the proposed wells at all 14 sites were assumed to be completed in the Prairie du Chien Group and or Jordan Sandstone Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer with construction similar to the recently installed Chanhassen Wells 12 and 13 However the model does have the capability of evaluating wells in other aquifers such as the FIG aquifer The sustainable capacity or yield of a well is dependent upon how the well is constructed and the hydrogeologic conditions surrounding the well e g the permeability of the aquifer The sustainable P

Lindstrom Barr Engineering Co Results of Well Location Screening Modeling December 22nd 2008 9 capacity of a well is also dependent on the available drawdown which is controlled by the regional groundwater levels in the aquifer Regional groundwater levels can change over time in response to changing climatic conditions but the primary cause of changes in regional groundwater levels in the metro area is increased pumping by municipal wells As population increases water demand increases along with the installation of more high capacity wells and more pumping The so called cone of depression of each pumping well intersects the cone of depression of other wells causing an additive decrease in water levels The Metropolitan Council has made projections of future water demand on a community by community basis for the Seven County Metropolitan Area on la year increments to the year 2050 These demand projections include both average daily demand and maximum peak summer demand Some water conservation is factored into these estimates In general demand is projected to be near maximums by 2030 this is the date that is often used to evaluate full build out conditions in the metro area although this may vary from community to community For this study we used projected average and peak demands at 2030 to estimate pumping conditions for the communities in Hennepin and Carver Counties those areas that most likely will have a meaningful impact on Chanhassen s groundwater availability in the future As noted above Chanhassen s pumping conditions were set based on Section 9 of the City s current Comprehensive Plan The analysis described herein uses the following assumptions concerning future water demand The simulated condition for evaluating demand limitations is a 2 week peak summer condition in 2030 during which all existing and proposed city wells are assumed be running continuously Chanhassen Well 11 completed in the glacial drift aquifer is assumed to not be available to meet future water demands Chanhassen Well 4 is assumed to be pumping and connected to the East Water Treatment plant The maximum pumping rate for existing and future wells is 1 000 gallons per minute gpm This rate is assumed to relate to well construction and aquifer permeability The model analysis further imposes a potential demand restriction that reduces available draw down

Wuolo Brian LeMon and Katy Lindstrom Barr Engineering Co Results of Well Location Screening Modeling December 22nd 2008 10 The minimum allowable water level during pumping of any of the existing or future Chanhassen wells is equal to 10 feet above either the top of the pump intake or the top of the Prairie du Chien Group The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources MDNR does not permit pumping levels to drop below the top of a confined aquifer and generally requires a buffer of about 10 percent of the aquifer thickness above the top of the aquifer Note that MCES is in the process of developing additional Water Supply Issue Responses that will shape future well siting in the Metropolitan area They are not yet final and only became available in draft form recently The implication of those issue responses is not accounted for in this modeling run but will affect the City when new wells are requested In the modeling analysis an existing or future well is allowed to pump at a continuous rate of 1 000 gpm until such time that the pumping water level in the aquifer drops to a predetermined point At this time the model computes a new pumping rate for the well that is less than 1 000 gpm This continues in an effort to simulate operations that would occur to maintain a safe water level in the wells as pumping water levels approach the pump intake or the top of the aquifer If the model predicts a pumping rate that is less than 500 gpm the well is shut off and pumping is set to zero This last condition is imposed with the assumption that if conditions only permit a well to operate at rates less than 500 gpm the well location probably is inadequate Five new Jordan wells pumping at 1 000 gpm each will be required along with existing wells pumping at 1 000 gpm each to provide firm pumping capacity at peak summer demand in 2030 That is a total of 13 800 gpm of supply or l2 800 gpm of firm supply which meets the peak projected demand of 12 400 gpm 17 3 MOD

December22 2008 11 Overview of Methods Model Refinement The northwest sub regional model of the Metropolitan Council s Metro Model was used as a starting point for this evaluation The finite difference grid for this model was refined in the vicinity of Chanhassen to improve numerical accuracy for this evaluation Model parameters e g aquifer thickness permeability etc remained unchanged The model covers all of Hennepin and Carver Counties as well as portions of Wright County and a small portion of Scott County that is adjacent to the Minnesota River Other areas of the metro region were not included because the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers are significant hydrologic barriers to flow for the Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer The model includes layers for all major aquifers and aquifers from the ground surface down to the deepest regional aquifer the Mt Simon Hinckley aquifer As part of developing this model for the Metropolitan Council the model underwent substantial calibration The model was first used to simulate current pumping conditions A steady state simulation of current pumping conditions was performed using annualized average pumping rates for 2006 The purpose of this simulation was to 1 verify the appropriateness of the model grid s refinement and 2 provide some baseline for comparing results of future conditions Simulation of 2030 Average Pumping Conditions Before proceeding with the peak period simulation average pumping conditions for 2030 needed to be simulated The simulation of 2030 average pumping conditions provides starting groundwater levels for a 2 week simulation period of maximum 2030 demand which is the primary indicator of how future wells will perform This required assigning new pumping rates for the wells in the surrounding communities based on projected demands estimated by the Metropolitan Council For purposes of this simulation not every community in the model domain needed to be considered only those in close proximity to Chanhassen The Metropolitan Council s estimates for future demand are listed on Table 2 Some communities such as Edina Eden Prairie and Minnetonka are projected to experience slight reductions in average demand in 2030 compared to 2004 and almost no change in peak demand The reduced demand projections made by the Metropolitan Council reflect some assumed conservation measures

that there is a limited amount of new appropriations expected from the Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer in the future from cities other than Chanhassen For lower growth communities future demand will likely be met using existing wells For growing communities future demand will likely require the installation of new wells Some communities may have water supply plans that identify future well locations but many may not In either case it is beyond the scope of this study to include new well locations for communities other than Chanhassen into the model to meet 2030 demand The approach taken in this evaluation was to apply a percentage increase over existing pumping rates for each existing well in a community in order to meet 2030 average and maximum day demands This approach assumes that existing wells will be able to meet future demands an assumption that is likely not true for many growing communities However this assumption is both useful and valid for the groundwater model and accounts for the effects of future pumping since the total supply is still coming from the source aquifer of interest For the average 2030 pumping conditions it was assumed that the existing wells not including Well 11 would be the only wells pumping to meet average demand for Chanhassen This was done to establish initial groundwater levels for simulating a 2 week period of maximum demand This approach also will focus future demand on the existing wells to help identify if any of them are likely to be a problem in the future as new wells are added The 2030 average demand conditions were simulated as a steady state Simulation of Maximum Water Use for 2030 Projected 2030 peak demands for communities near Chanhassen are listed in Table 2 Peak demand is typically substantially higher than average demand Most communities design their well systems to meet peak day demands Therefore during most of the year communities have excess well capacity Peak demands typically take place during the summer when irrigation is most prevalent If these peak demands were simulated in the model as occurring continuously i e simulated as a steady state condition the results would likely be a gross overestimate of draw down and well interference effects Simulating peak pumping as occurring over a short duration e g days or weeks is more realistic and captures the phenomenon of taking groundwater

in the aquifer showing the significant drawdown that does occur during short term peak pumping but less draw down over the long term when pumping returns to average levels For this evaluation we assumed the following Groundwater levels predicted for average 2030 demand conditions are the starting condition for the simulation For a 2 week period pumping would be increased in the surrounding communities to equal peak demand projections for 2030 Pumping for the entire community would be distributed over the existing wells in these communities A specific storage value of 0 000135 is assumed for the aquifer system and a specific yield value of 0 25 is assumed These are values obtained from a controlled aquifer test in Lakeville and are believed to be representative of the Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer in the metro area Following this modeling a long term peak pumping scenario will be run to estimate the ability of the aquifer to sustain peak pumping over extended periods This will be discussed in a separate section below Both existing city of Chanhassen wells and potential future city of Chanhassen wells were simulated using the Multi Node Well package MNW in MODFLOW2000 the groundwater flow code used in this study MNW wells allow for the setting of a pumping rate along with the minimum acceptable pumping level and the minimum acceptable pumping rate below which the well is shut off By using MNW wells in the model the effects of regional lowering of groundwater levels on pumping rates in the Chanhassen wells are better simulated Six scenarios each featuring combinations of five potential future well sites were simulated as summarized on Table 3 Scenarios I and 2 concentrate pumping stress on the east well field Scenario 3 concentrates demand on the west well field and Scenarios 4 through 6 divide the demand between both well fields This split of demand will help in estimating the potential impacts to each well field by in effect over stressing that

City of Chanhassen Ray Wuolo Brian LeMon and Katy Lindstrom Barr Engineering Co Results of Well Location Screening Modeling December 22nd 2008 21 All wells were able to operate at their assigned pumping rates without falling below the limiting water level In particular Chanhassen 8 performed particularly well On average wells maintained pumping water levels around 122 feet above the limiting water level The 2030 average pumping water levels in all wells remained essentially the same compared to the current imposed pumping rates The 2030 peak pumping conditions however resulted in somewhat lower pumping water levels for wells that were pumping during a given simulation compared to Current or 2030 Average pumping conditions It is important to note that the predicted water levels are for the groundwater levels in the aquifer immediately adjacent to the well water levels in the well can expect to be lower as a result of well losses that lead to less than 100 efficient wells Sites 1 through 14 are potential future wells and did not show the same pumping water level drop for 2030 peak conditions unless they were turned on for a given scenario For example pumping was simulated for Site 5 in Scenarios 2 and 4 Figure 6 shows lower pumping water levels for Site 5 during these scenarios when compared to the Current and 2030 Average conditions The fact that wells that did not have imposed pumping rates showed negligible drawdown indicates the ability of the system to supply the current 2030 average and 2030 peak water demands without undue influence on water levels throughout the aquifer There are three conclusions to take away from this evaluation 1 Peak pumping as projected by the Metropolitan Council for 2030 does not appear to induce critical regional groundwater level drawdowns in the Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer in Chanhassen This conclusion assumes 2 weeks of continuous peak pumping 2 The City of Chanhassen appears to have considerable leeway in selecting future well locations from the 14 locations they have identified All locations appear to be able to supply 1 000 gpm during the two week peak pumping conditions assuming the information on hydraulic parameters for the aquifer that are currently in the model accurately represent existing conditions Not all locations performed the same and some are very close to the eroded edge of the Prairie du Chien Jordan formation The following additional comments are offered with respect to the modeled well sites Site 2 and Site 10 are at the edge of the western extent of the Jordan Sandstone and if these sites are selected we would recommend an exploratory boring to confirm geology in advance of procuring a well drilling contractor to make sure the formation is present and to confirm well P Mpls

that performed well and those that performed adequately Those that performed very well had the greatest head above the limiting water level shown in Table 6 Those that performed well had the next most head above the limiting water level and those that performed adequately had the least head above the limiting water level The groups are shown in the table below If all other factors were equal Barr would recommend selecting sites from the higher performing groups Note that the site being considered for City Well 14 is Site 14 in the Adequate performing sites group Table 6 Sites that performed

Jordan formation 3 Both existing conditions and the model show that water levels in Well 10 are close to the limiting elevation near the top of the Prairie du Chien formation The model shows that the well should not experience additional severe drawdown conditions in the future The entire Prairie du Chien is cased off in this well and a screen is set only in the Jordan The pump is set very low in the well near the top of the screen well below the top of the Prairie du Chien Because of this the pump should not see water levels that prevent it from operating as intended However as currently configured the well could draw water levels down below the top of the Prairie du Chien without causing a problem for the pump The City should monitor water levels in this well carefully The limiting water elevation is approximately 215 feet below the ground at WelllO This generally indicates that the City needs to monitor all of its wells carefully in the future It also points out that there still is a concern that excessive peak pumping will have negative impacts on wells In addition localized variations in geology that may not be known about and therefore not represented in the model may contribute to drawdown not identified by the model As a result Barr recommends that a second source aquifer be considered in the near future along with careful monitoring of water levels in all city Wells P Mpls 23 MN 10 2310100100 Chanhassen Well Siting Study WorkFiles modeling report Well Siting Memo Fina1 doc 28 To From Subject Date Page Paul Oehme City of Chanhassen Ray Wuolo Brian LeMon and Katy Lindstrom Barr Engineering Co Results of Well Location Screening Modeling December 22nd 2008 23 Extended Peak Pumping Scenarios Following the initial model runs several extended peak pumping scenarios were run to find out how long the wells could sustain a peak pumping scenario Each scenario was started by running average demand conditions for Chanhassen and surrounding communities as described above Demands in surrounding communities were then increased to match peak demands and all Chanhassen wells considered in each scenario were then turned on at full capacity at left to run for 180 consecutive days Three different scenarios were run They include 1 Existing wells only excluding Well 11 2 Scenario 4 which includes existing Chanhassen wells excluding Well 11 and new wells at Sites 1 2 5 12 and 14 this is the site of future Well 14 3 Scenario 5 which includes existing Chanhassen wells excluding Well 11 and new wells at Sites 4 6 7 9 and 10 During the extended peak scenarios all wells were again able to supply water at the modeled rates throughout the simulation Water levels in the wells declined over the first few days of peak pumping and then stabilized at various levels that were all above the limiting water levels Water levels did not decline further even after prolonged pumping Water levels stabilized at elevations relatively close to those shown in the two week pumping scenarios What this indicates is that using known aquifer parameters the model predicts that average recharge rates which are based on average precipitation are able to be transmitted through the aquifer to regional wells to sustain peak pumping even for extended periods What is not accounted for is the impact of extended drought periods that interrupt the recharge cycle of the wells Peak pumping almost always occurs in conjunction with drought conditions which in turn limit aquifer recharge The model currently assumes a continuous average rate of recharge over the region Actual water levels in the City s wells often decline continually over extended pumping periods This can happen when recharge is limited and the wells need to reach farther and farther to obtain the water needed The fact that the model shows the wells able to supply the City even during extended pumping indicates that problems associated with declining water levels likely caused by dry weather patterns and other factors that are limiting aquifer recharge and not limitations in the aquifer itself In other words under average recharge conditions the aquifer is able to transmit water from the places where it is normally recharged to the wells in Chanhassen in a quantity that would meet the P Mpls 23 MN 10 2310100100 Chanhassen Well Siting Study WorkFiles modeling report Well

2008 24 City s peak demands even for extended pumping periods Pumps may have to be lowered but the wells would not dry up due to aquifer transmissivity limitations What will affect water levels will be weather patterns that ultimately cannot be predicted If aquifer recharge diminishes due to extended drought then declining water levels will continue to be a problem Because of this the City needs to continue to monitor water levels and be prepared to enact sprinkling bans if continued drought interferes with aquifer recharge In addition to this a secondary source such as the FIG aquifer would provide a hedge against these problems since it is a deeper aquifer and is able to attenuate varying recharge somewhat better P Mpls 23 MN lO 2310100100 Chanhassen Well Siting Study WorkFiles modeling

way to treat and deliver this water to the system This section includes a review of raw water quality data from Chanhassen Well 4 with respect to meeting primary and secondary drinking water quality standards Based on this review an evaluation of two alternatives related to the treatment of Chanhassen Well 4 will be performed A major factor contributing to this analysis is the fact that a potential site for future Well 14 exists along a route that could be used to connect Chanhassen Well 4 to the East Treatment Plant If this site were to be used for future Welll4 then a raw water main would be relatively close to the Chanhassen Well 4 site making connecting it to the treatment plant more feasible and cost effective Chanhassen Well 4 Raw Water Quality Information and Review The City provided Chanhassen Well 4 raw water quality data that is shown in Table 7 Based on the data provided it appears that Well 4 can be pumped to the East Water Treatment Plant blended with raw water from Chanhassen Wells 2 and 10 through 13 and treated without any major treatment modifications to the plant Both iron and manganese levels in Chanhassen Well 4 water are in line with those from the water from the other Wells being treated at the plant The main difference is the presence of higher levels of radium That stated it is recommended that before any new source is added to an existing water treatment plant detailed studies should be performed to ensure that no unexpected and undesirable outcomes will occur Trace elements present in any water source can affect existing treatment processes However based on what is known about the quality of water in Well 4 only minor adjustments if any would be needed to add the well to the raw water supplying the East Plant P Mpls 23 MN IO 2310JOOIOO

13 0 400 0 144 11 06 08 In addition to this blending of the Chanhassen Well 4 raw water with the other raw water sources supplied to the treatment plant will result in lowering of the concentration of radium in the finished water to levels below the regulated limit of 5 pCi I This is true even without considering the benefits of treatment the dilution alone would bring radium concentrations to levels below the regulated limit as long as it is blended with at least one other well pumping at the same rate as Chanhassen Well 4 and that has very little or no radium When the benefits of iron manganese filtration are considered the picture gets even better This is because radium has been found to adsorb to manganese oxides A common treatment for radium removal is to add hydrous manganese oxides HMO to a treatment stream and then perform normal iron manganese filtration this is an oversimplified description but generally serves the discussion here Even without the addition of HMOs normal iron manganese filtration of water that has iron and manganese present in it often results in a beneficial lowering of radium 226 and 228 Studies of five iron manganese filtration plants preformed by the Minnesota Department of Health found that without modifying their processes to optimize for radium removal the plants all produced water with lower levels of radium in the effluent than was present in the influent streams Removals varied from 19 to 63 percent for radium 226 and from 23 to 82 percent for radium 228 Note that the study also found that radium removal by this method has lower threshold limits Neither radium 226 or 228 could be completely removed from the source water by unmodified iron manganese filtration alone Removal rates varied depending upon a number of factors which should be studied in greater detail before adding Well 4 water to the East Treatment plant But even if the worst removal efficiencies were achieved and Well 4 water were treated at the East Treatment Plant unblended with other wells P Mpls 23 MN 10 2310100100 Chanhassen Well Siting Study WorkFiles modeling report Well Siting Memo inal doc 32 To From Subject Date Page Paul Oehme City

radium 226 to 228 as existed in the 12 17 04 letter data What Table 8 also shows is that unmodified iron manganese filtration alone should not be relied upon to bring Chanhassen Well 4 water down to limits below the MCL without significant bench and pilot scale treatment studies Chanhassen Well 4 has had radium hits as high as 6 8 pCi 1 and as the table shows the worst case assumption for radium removal at that influent concentration results in an effluent concentration of 5 4 pCi l If the raw water from Chanhassen Well 4 is to be treated at the well location a new package treatment plant with a radium removal system will need to be further reviewed This would involve a pilot study to identify if a separate detention vessel and radium removal system is needed in addition to a pressure filter system for iron and manganese removal treatment Alternative 2 provides preliminary costs for a package water treatment plant at Chanhassen Well 4 that assumes some form of HOM addition will be needed to bring the water down to regulator limits Evaluation and Preliminary Screening of Alternatives Two alternatives related to the treatment of Chanhassen Well 4 raw water were reviewed One for

Co Results of Well Location Screening Modeling December 22nd 2008 28 Alternative 1 Connect Well 4 to the East Water Treatment Plant along with Well 14 Figure 8 provides the route used for estimating the cost of connecting Chanhassen Well 4 to the East Water Treatment plant This raw water main would be designed to allow for the future connection of proposed Well 14 and would be approximately 6 100 lineal feet long The main would be 12 inches in diameter for 858 lineal feet running from Chanhassen Well 4 north to Lake Drive and then 16 inches in diameter from there to the point where it would connect to the existing raw water main from Chanhassen Well 13 The larger diameter main would allow for another well from the west to be connected to the East Treatment Plant It is assumed minimal modifications would be needed at the East water treatment plant to connect Chanhassen Well 4 and future Well 14 to the plant A preliminary estimate using the bid tabs from the Chanhassen Wells 12 and 13 raw water main bid results in an approximate cost range of 730 000 to 950 000 The range is intended to account for unknown conditions and variation in bids Note we are in uncertain cost estimating times with prices fluctuating significantly Material prices are beginning to drop after years of steep rises Alternative 2 Package Water Treatment Plant at Well 4 Consideration was given to the construction of a new package style water treatment plant located at Chanhassen Well 4 This option would allow for treatment of the raw water at Chanhassen Well 4 and subsequent connection to the existing water supply system Construction of a water treatment plant at Chanhassen Well 4 would require modifications to the existing well house to include a radium treatment system comprised of a multi cell pressure filter and additional related equipment and tanks Additionally the creation of another water treatment plant would require additional staffing time for operation and maintenance above what is needed at the East and West water treatment plants Those costs are not considered here since the base cost estimate already exceeds that needed to pipe Chanhassen Well 4 to the East Treatment Plant With a separate treatment plant at Chanhassen Well 4 it was assumed that a HMO style radium removal system would be needed to ensure compliance with radium regulations A pilot study is recommended to verify the need of radium removal treatment if this alternative is pursued further A preliminary cost for such a plant I was prepared The cost for a package plant located at a site adjacent to Chanhassen Well 4 would fall in the range of 1 1 to 1 5 million This estimate includes modifications to Wellhouse 4 a pressure filter a pressure detention vessel an HMO chemical feed

only a preliminary scoping level review of the two alternatives but it is readily clear that constructing a package plant at Chanhassen Well 4 is not a cost effective alternative costing 370 000 to 550 000 more than bringing Chanhassen Well 4 water to the East Treatment Plant If the cost of routing future Well 14 to the East treatment plant is eliminated from the Well 4 costs the difference is significantly greater Chanhassen Well 4 should be routed to the East Treatment plant using direction ally drilled HDPE raw water main similar to how Chanhassen Wells 12 and 13 were brought to the plant This will utilize an asset that the City already has in Chanhassen Well 4 and improve water quality from that well by removing iron manganese and radium Finally it also adds needed supply to the

Recommendations As pointed out in the Introduction the purpose of this report was four fold Each of those purposes will be addressed in this section After that a set of recommended actions will be described Well Locations The groundwater modeling suggests that each of the 14 potential well sites considered in this study should be able to support a new 1 000 gpm Prairie du Chien Jordan well Sites 2 and 10 are near the eroded edge of the Jordan Sandstone If those sites are chosen exploratory borings should be performed in advance of the well drilling to ensure that they are viable sites Sites that performed very well include 2 7 8 and 10 Sites that performed well include 5 6 9 and 12 Sites that performed adequately include 1 3 4 11 13 and 14 this is the proposed Well 14 site Potential Contaminants No contaminants were found that exhibited a pattern that would affect well siting Existing Well 4 has had occasional low level contamination caused by a naturally occurring contaminant radium Four well sites 3 4 11 and 12 are down gradient and relatively close to several MPCA Multi sites If any of these sites are selected then the status of those sites should be verified If concerns are raised then a testing program to verify groundwater quality at those sites should be performed before committing to a new well at any of those locations Chanhassen Well 4 and Future Well 14 Planning It is more cost effective to connect Chanhassen Well 4 to the East Treatment Plant than to construct an on site treatment plant for iron manganese and radium removal Piping Chanhassen Well 4 and future Well 14 to the East Treatment plant would cost and estimated 730 000 to 950 000 while constructing and on site package treatment plant would cost approximately 1 1 to 1 5 million Before connecting Well 4 to the East Treatment Plant a more detailed water quality analysis should be performed to ensure that adding Well 4 water to the plant does not disrupt the current treatment process Aquifer Yield Assessment After performing the modeling and reviewing past studies the following conclusions have been reached regarding the aquifers currently supplying the city 1 The shallow sand and gravel aquifer into which Chanhassen Wells 5 6 and 11 are completed cannot be considered a viable source for the future unless some form of augmentation is planned such as aquifer storage and recovery this is a process where water from another source is treated and then pumped down into the aquifer and stored for later reuse While the city can continue to P Mpls 23 MN lO 2310100100

Co Results of Well Location Screening Modeling December 22nd 2008 31 use Chanhassen Well II it should not plan on it being a long term viable source unless additional information becomes available to suggest otherwise 2 The Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer appears to be able to transmit water to the city wells in an amount needed if recharge rates remain at or above average levels This is true now and into the future but localized draw down conditions at specific wells will continue to be a problem for the city especially if extended drought limits aquifer recharge New wells will be needed to meet future demands and those wells should be sited carefully and as far apart as reasonable to limit interference Due to the trends of lowering water levels Barr recommends that the City pursue wells in another aquifer as a hedge against future problems Barr recommends that the City consider at least one FIG well in each major well field If dry weather patterns persist and draw down continues to be a concern in the Jordan then it is possible that additional FIG wells could be added as needed to augment the City supply though it appears that this should not be necessary unless weather patterns continue to be dry and aquifer recharge is limited 3 The FIG aquifer was not studied in depth for this evaluation however a preliminary review of the data available suggest that the aquifer should be able to support two 500 to 600 gpm wells even considering future draw down likely to be caused by growing communities to the west of Chanhassen The modeling performed for this report included a preliminary look at the FIG aquifer Model results show static water levels at least 300 feet of water above the top of the FIG aquifer in most all parts of Chanhassen even after draw down from future growth is considered Even with the poor yields common in the FIG this should support wells of 500 to 600 gpm or more depending on specific local aquifer characteristics Concerns stated in the DRAFT MCES Metropolitan Water Supply Study are not major and should not be taken as a reason to abandon this aquifer as a potential source Questions remain concerning the properties of the FIG aquifer in the Chanhassen area and the degree of hydraulic connection between this aquifer and the overlying Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer which would need to be addressed before committing to municipal wells in the FIG aquifer Recommended actions Barr recommends the following actions be taken by the City in response to the this study 1 The MDNR has not responded to the City s 10 year appropriations permit

a treatability study for Well 4 to determine the impact of adding that water to the East Treatment Plant Finalize the selection of a site for Welll4 and have plans prepared to connect Well 4 and future Welll4 to the East Treatment Plant 4 During modeling existing Well lO had some of the lowest water levels with respect to its limiting water elevation However the pump is set just above the screen which is set only in the Jordan This means that Well lO will not likely experience pump problems in the future but that as configured it could draw down water levels below the regulatory limiting elevation during a prolonged drought or extended pump runs Barr recommends that the City carefully monitor water levels in this well along with those in its other wells Water levels should be set in each well that would trigger actions such as sprinkling bans and possibly a change in the pump call sequence to allow a given well to rest more before it is used again In addition frequent triggers could also initiate a new well project to spread out the demand among more wells and lighten the load on each Frequent triggers could also initiate a Franconia Ironton Galesville well as discussed more below 5 Commit to identifying a second source aquifer to supplement the Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer Options include the FIG aquifer the Mt Simon Hinckley aquifer or aquifer storage and recovery using Chanhassen Wells 5 and 6 The FIG aquifer will be the most cost effective to pursue given the regional ban on the use of the Mt Simon Hinckley aquifer and the design challenges associated with aquifer storage and recovery However it is not as productive as other options a If the FIG aquifer is selected as the source then a more detailed study of the FIG aquifer should be performed to determine if it can be a supplemental source to the City and act as a backup should wells in the Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer prove to be problematic The FIG aquifer should not be considered a source for supplying a significant portion of your peak day demand due to its limited productivity but it would be able to increase the City s supply reliability It could be used to supply average day demand thereby reducing the stress on the Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer In addition because the FIG is separated from the shallower aquifers by an aquitard wells located in it can be sited right next to shallower wells without substantially impacting their performance This means that one new FIG well could be sited in the existing east well field immediately adjacent to either failed WellS or 6 This new FIG P Mpls 23 MN lO 2310100100 Chanhassen Well Siting Study WorkFiles modeling report Well Siting Memo Final doc 38 To From Subject Date Page P ul Oehme City of Ch nh ssen

those wells thereby saving installation costs It is also worth noting that the Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer is absent in parts of the City and in those areas the FIG aquifer may be more productive than in areas where it is overlain by the Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer The detailed study should include modeling of wells sites a field investigation including construction of a pumping well and a long term aquifer pumping test Finally the MCES Metropolitan Water Supply Plan identifies this aquifer as a viable source for Chanhassen b If aquifer storage and recover ASR is to be considered a well code variance would be needed This would be followed by a detailed examination of the geology of the shallow aquifer that would include a geochemical analysis and a better definition of its connection to the underlying aquifers in the region This would then be followed by bench and pilot studies to verify water chemistry needed to make a successful project The potential up side of hits option is the existing infrastructure at Wells 5 and 6 that could be reused and the productive nature of the aquifer c If the Mt Simon Hinckley aquifer is selected for further evaluation as the source a detailed alternative water source study will need to be performed in consultation with the MDNR This would likely be a long term process with many political and technical obstacles along the way and

Water Resources Coordinator r January 12 2009 tJ FROM DATE SUBJ Storm Sewer Connection Charges EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I have completed my review of storms ewer connection charges assessed in other communities The comparison was limited in that the assessment methodology and land use classifications differed often significantly between cities The attached spreadsheet shows the cost on a square foot basis trying to match zoning districts as closely as possible The following table lists the average charge per land use in eight 8 metropolitan communities during 2008 and the proposed rate for 2009 in Chanhassen Land Use Category Average 2008 Proposed Chanhassen Rates 2009 Percent Overt under Avera e Commercial 0 236 0 615 1 61 Note Costs are in dollars per square foot Average rates are based upon 2008 rate schedules DISCUSSION Chanhassen has eight different zoning classes which are assessed Other communities use a variety of zoning classifications but the most common schema is to use three zoning classes low density residential high density residential and commercial industrial The City of Shakopee charges every development a flat rate of 0 118 ft2 In addition they charge a treatment and storage fee at varying rates per land use This rate is changed to a flat rate of 0 024 ft2 ifthe developer employs alternative treatment and storage best management practices Chanhassen is a Community for Life Providing for Today and Planning for Tomorrow 45 Paul Oehme January 12 2009 Storm Sewer Connection Charges Page 2 The City of Rosemount charges a trunk area charge of either 0 153 ft2 or 0 204 ft2 depending upon land use This is paid at the time of final plat An additional treatment and storage fee is assessed with the SAC WAC charges when the building permit is issued This fee is 745 lot for single family and duplex assuming a typical lot of 1 3 acre this amounts to 0 052 ft2 for single family The fee is 280 unit for multi family housing At 12 units per acre the minimum density to be classified as high density this equals an additional 0 077 ft2 The City of Savage applies five different rates 0 212 ft2 for single family residential 0 256 ft2 for multi family residential and then three classes for commercial industrial based upon percent cover by impervious surface up to a maximum of 0 309 ft2 The Cities of Princeton Bumsville and Waconia use a flat trunk area fee ranging from 0 05 ft2 to 0 260 ft2 Eagan uses a more complicated formula based upon per acre land values plus the cost of excavation at a rate of 8 00 yard The figures included in the Eagan fee also show the fee with a 50 reduction The Cities of Farmington Chaska and Prior Lake all charge a similar fee but the information was not readily available on their websites As of the time of this memorandum I had not yet heard back from the respective agents for these cities According to conversations with the City Engineer for Farmington they are anticipating a 40 increase in stormwater fees Even with the proposed rate increase the City of Chanhassen charges are consistent with what the other communities charge for residential development Chanhassen does charge two times more than the other communities for industrial and commercial development This difference in cost between residential and commercial industrial is intended to reflect the difference in total hardcover and therefore total runoff from the site which needs to be stored and treated It is also important to note that several communities include land in their calculations that would be considered undevelopable in the City of Chanhassen For instance Chanhassen does not assess for any land within a drainage and utility easement which would typically include the entire outlot in which a stormwater pond or wetland is located Conversely many ofthe other cities including Rosemount Shakopee and Savage charge for everything outside of the high water level for storm water ponds and the normal water level for wetlands The fees indicated for the City of Chanhassen does not reflect any reduction resulting from SWMP credits This could be as much as 25 ofthe total assessed fee Several other communities do not provide credit for features and some as in Savage charge additional fees if a development is unable to provide adequate on site ponding This additional fee is 0 104 for single family residential 0 178 for multi family residential and 0 357 for commercial and industrial Given the calculation of developable land the credits available in Chanhassen and the additional fees charged by some other cities the stormwater fees charged in Chanhassen is less g eng terry surface water swmp fees other city fees Ol1209 storm sewer connection charges doc 46 Paul Oehme January 12 2009 Storm Sewer Connection Charges Page 3 than shown in the above table in relation to other communities Currently the credits granted to a development are strictly based upon water quality features and do not address volume reduction It may be feasible to tier the industrial and commercial by total impervious coverage so that rates are reduced for those commercial site which seeking to minimize the total area paved Still other credit options might be available such as cisterns green roofs preservation of woodlands in conservation easements or other accepted best management practices for volume reduction Caution is suggested when considering other BMPs as some practices may not be permanent so the net improvement would not be realized in the future This concludes my review of municipal stormsewer charges Should you have

condition requiring an as built survey be signed by a registered land surveyor to ensure that the lot complies with the 25 hard surface coverage Chairman Papke opened the public hearing No one spoke

the 25 maximum hard surface coverage requirement as outlined in the City Code 2 Excess hard surface coverage must be removed and revegetated no later than May 31 2009 3 An as built survey signed by a

Papke Kevin we ll start with you Dillon Were the other driveways that that 6700 and 6760 where are they those houses those homes in relation to the 25 coverage Are they right up against it Auseth For this survey we were mainly looking at the driveways so we did not do a full survey of each property Dillon Okay because I m kind of just jumping way ahead here If you grant a variance for this one to make the turn around and those other ones don t have turn arounds will we start down a slipper slope of granting more variances for turn arounds but maybe they re well below the 25 It s not a big deal I don t know so Al Jaff I am familiar with those sites and they do meet the code requirements They do not exceed the 25 Dillon And do they so is everyone in this place backing out of their driveways I mean all the homeowners around here Is that part of the or Al Jaff In the specific subdivision Dillon It would look that way Well not everybody but 105 Planning Commission Meeting December 2 2008 Al Jaff Some of them do have a turn around Based upon the lot area and some of them don t but it s not a busy street as such they are able to get out of their driveways Dillon That s all I have right now Thomas I don t have any questions of staff Laufenburger I don t either Papke Okay If there s an applicant here this evening would you please step up to the podium State your name and address for the record and tell us what you have to say about your request Fred Bruning Well good evening council members Thanks for taking the time to hear me I m Fred Bruning I m with Sawhorse Designers and Builders I m here on behalf of the owners Mark Ambrosen and Ann Senn I have a brief statement to read but before that I d like to you know thank Angie for her time She s we may not have always agreed but she s always been courteous and helpful so I appreciate that I do have additional copies of this if I could Staff has suggested that the only reasonable use of a property in R 1 zoning is a single family home with a 2 car garage I submit that this view is not current thinking of land use The majority of properties within 500 feet of this property are much more than that 10 out of 13 houses on Maple Shores Drive have 3 car garages or more A clear majority In addition an examination of the aerial photos on the Carver County web site shows that 20 of the 32 residences in this area appear to be over the 25 hard cover restriction Some extremely over These are pre existing standards for the neighborhood In comparison to a majority of homes in the area Mark Ambrosen and Ann Senn are not asking for an unreasonable use of their property Because of the shape and topography of their lot my clients need to use precious hard cover for an atypically long driveway to access their home and a retaining wall patio drain system to protect it Three properties to the south have longer driveways than my clients and each has a turn about However they are on near level lots Two have flag lot hard exemptions to the hard cover requirement The remaining is on a much larger property To the east are the only two lots within 500 feet that have an elevation change greater than this property However it is only slightly greater and over a longer distance This property is unique in that it has both these elements combined on a parcel that is substantially smaller than any of them The lot size combined with the shape and topography is the hardship It is not self created The willingness to accept an undue hardship does not negate the hardship or create it The granting of this variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which this parcel is located Mark and Ann have incurred both the monetary and more importantly the hard cover expense to mitigate runoff erosion problems caused by topography of their lot Without this allocation of protective hard cover my clients would be able to construct their addition and meet the hard surface coverage limitation while maintaining their driveway and turn about They should not be penalized for efforts to comply with the spirit of the hard cover code simply because they do not meet the letter of that code However a denial of the variance could endanger public safety While staff s Findings of Fact does not agree we feel that backing a vehicle down a narrow wooded sloped driveway in excess of 130 feet could be a danger to public safety I ask the Planning Commission to consider the following actions Number one Grant the variance as requested Number two Grant an 2 106 Planning Commission Meeting December 2 2008 exemption to the hard cover calculation for the retaining wall patio drain system in the rear of the home The City currently recognizes similar exemptions for swimming pools and driveways on flag lots etc Number three Request the City Council consider recognizing other means of mitigating hard cover I have a list of these submitted on the original narrative in the file Number four Modify the recently added condition requiring my clients to use an as built survey signed by a registered land surveyor to ensure that the lot complies with the 25 hard surface coverage We request that the variance we request if the variance is denied Mark and Ann should be asked to maintain their existing hard cover condition currently an estimated 25 7 The current excess hard cover is a pre existing condition that appears prevalent in the area We appreciate your considerations of this variance and I ll make an attempt to answer any questions you may have Undestad I don t have any right now Keefe You know you ve referenced that changes in grade and you know the thinking I mean is that the change in grade at the front of the house towards the lake side Fred Bruning Yeah at the lake side I mean front to back from the lake to the back corner is 46 feet on this lot Most of it happens over 30 feet happens right outside their back door Keefe Okay And the so Fred Bruning The lot right off the lake they have a very flat area where that fire pit and that is down there I mean it s 70 feet that s relatively level and then in the next you know 15 feet it goes up 30 feet Keefe And the impact of that is what Fred Bruning Well in the past they ve had and in the original narrative I explained this When they originally bought the home they had nothing back there and the soils I mean they re highly erosive soils I mean very fine silts and sands and that hill had actually eroded within 6 feet of their foundation I mean they needed to do something to protect their home Keefe And so what you re saying is that because they ve had to add the drainage system and retaining wall that has essentially taken up some of the allowed hard surface coverage Fred Bruning Correct That s one of the issues that does That the topography requires them to do that Papke If I can just step in at this point Keefe Yeah Papke Excuse me Dan but just since you re on that topic We just had a case last week where the retaining walls are not being counted Now I don t see them in the calculations here Could 3 107 Planning Commission Meeting December 2 2008 city staff clarify if the retaining walls are being taken into account or how is that calculation being done Auseth The retaining walls should not be included in the hard cover Fred Bruning And they are not Papke Okay So we re cool there So what are you really asking for Fred Bruning Well the back of their home they had it was an engineered system Because of the I mean it s 30 feet of grade It was engineered that they put hard surface right up to these retaining walls and actually drained that water through the wall and get it to that lower level To have the soils that are open and right now they have pavers but the amount of water that s gone through those pavers is still eroding the soil and they have to make some modifications to change that but to have that open gives you when the soils become saturated you get a 30 foot column of water Hydrostatic pressure in 30 feet I mean it s tons per square foot on that wall and so what was determined to do is actually protect it You know like the top of the mountain when you see mountains erode Put a hard surface on top Take that water past the erosion point Past that steep grade so it wouldn t carry the fine silts and sand down the hill Keefe So is that part of your scope of work to do that To put it additional in Fred Bruning No They already had that engineered and installed to protect their home Mark Ambrosen That was done fairly soon after we bought it because that s probably been in over 10 years When we first moved in the walkout went out about 6 feet and then it was grass and then it just dropped down there was nothing so we were getting erosion there Keefe But am I clear They re not getting it s not being counted as a part of the Fred Bruning Yes Mark Ambrosen The 723 square feet Fred Bruning The patio part of that system is being counted Dillon And what s it made out of Fred Bruning It s pavers Mark Ambrosen At the top right hand corner Fred Bruning That s the picture you have in the corner It goes out an average of I mean it s the only back yard they have outside their door It goes in and out but the average is 12 feet The in and out was necessary because the height of the wall you know they have a straight wall Some articulation 4 to 5 is the wall 4 108 Planning Commission Meeting December 2 2008 Laufenburger I do have a question Mr Chair This may be for staff Is it correct for me to understand that the homeowner will be able to retain their existing coverage which is currently 25 7 So 7 over acceptable Will they be able to retain that if this is fully denied Because that s a request that Mr Bruning is making in his yeah in his statement Number 4 Do you understand the question Al Jaff The applicant is requesting that they be allowed to retain it However that is a non conforming situation It s a continuing non conformity because when the site was developed that ordinance was in place Laufenburger Okay so they re 7 over limit and it will be their responsibility to bring that back within limit Al Jaff Correct Laufenburger Okay Then one other question for I think this may be for you Mr Bruning In the staff report it reflects that there is 1 039 square feet of proposed reductions including dog kennel changing pea rock etc You re familiar with those recommendations Fred Bruning Correct Laufenburger Okay And if you do those then then the compliance will be within the 25 So you re familiar with those Fred Bruning I am familiar with those I actually proposed them Laufenburger Your idea Fred Bruning Correct Mark and Ann are and I reiterate They re willing to suffer this hardship The hardship isn t you know isn t the shape of the drive I mean having a narrow driveway and backing down the driveway I mean the hardship is the lot The size of the lot The topography of the lot The shape that requires a long driveway If they didn t have those factors it would be a non issue These are factors other properties don t have and are able to do similar things that Mark and Ann are asking to do But because the uniqueness of this lot and the combined factors on the small size creates the need for these things Creates the need for a long driveway Creates the need for this retaining wall patio system That is the hardship And they re willing to suffer that hardship to have an addition I m just asking you guys not to make them suffer it you know Laufenburger They like living there don t they Fred Bruning Yeah Yeah they do Laufenburger That s it Mr Chairman 5 109 Planning Commission Meeting December 2 2008 Papke Kathleen Thomas Not right now Papke Kevin Dillon So in your letter here you know the Carver County web site shows that 20 of 32 residences are over the 25 hard cover Fred Bruning Yeah one three houses down looks like it s about 55 60 hard cover Dillon Well looks or is Fred Bruning Well I don t know do you have it up On the south side go down 3 houses Right there If you look at the one that s right below the E in Maple They have a 4 car garage A tuck under in back You know you do the calculation You can t tell for sure something has plastic under it but just looking at the hard concrete surfaces that s over 50 Dillon So question for the staff How do we kind of get in this spot I mean I can t tell if that s 50 or not from here but if you know we knew that their lot s 25 7 today and that s over the 25 It s kind of a newer home How did that get by way back in the day Auseth Unfortunately without somebody coming in and requesting a building permit or a permit to do this it s difficult for staff to keep tabs on all of those which again is why the zoning permit was put into place So that patios sheds under 120 square feet small retaining walls those have to come in for a permit now so that we can avoid these situations in the future Dillon Okay So then since this is so close to the lake and the hard surface variance is being asked for have any of the local water authorities or lake authorities weighed in on this Auseth We sent out referrals for to the DNR and the watershed and have not heard back from them Dillon I know we ve seen responses from them in the past so when they do not respond does that mean they don t care or they just haven t gotten around to it yet Jeffery Chairman Papke Commissioner Dillon I have spoken with Michael Wyatt of the Watershed District The way the Watershed District rules are set up they do not oversee the shoreland regulations The City has that authority granted to them by the commissioner of the DNR While they generally not favor increasing the hard cover they are not in a position to regulate that increase They can only regulate storm water treatment features on that or obvious erosion control issues that would exist on the property Dillon Okay And then just to kind of build on the question that Denny asked So if we ve got some proposed reductions that the applicant has put forth and it would get everything into compliance kind of like why are we here I mean you know if the applicant s putting them in 6 110 Planning Commission Meeting December 2 2008 there and they get us under the 25 I know maybe it s not the best solution that the homeowner would like but it seems to me to be a pretty reasonable compromise Fred Bruning Does the whole and I can read a section of the variance code The whole idea of variances is to allow people to have a reasonable use that s comparable to what their neighbors have To recognize conditions that all lots aren t equal That sometimes you have and it specifically names lot topography the shape and size Usually when I go through the variance process I have one of those factors This property actually has all three and it s just the variance is a means to allow them a reasonable use that other properties have Their lot demands a long driveway Their lot demands some mitigation to the elevation topography change in the back Take for example the ones towards the mouth of Maple Shores Drive They don t need any of those considerations Their lots are wide enough that their house can be close enough to the street to have a short driveway They have level lots They don t need huge retaining walls mitigation to runoff and erosion This is the whole point of recognizing unusual conditions of lots Something I d like to add In the code itself division 3 in variances Section 20 58 Line item 1 A third of the way down It recognizes that reasonable use includes a use made by the majority of the comparable properties within 500 feet In my words here and looking at the aerial photos that s all we re asking for is a use that the majority of the homeowners within 500 feet of this property enjoy Dillon Okay So then and this is again maybe directed towards the staff but what is the staff s position about getting into alignment with the 25 7 down to the 25 What actions would if we deny all of this stuff tonight and kind of wash our hands of it as the planning commission what then What are the next steps and how is that going to impact the homeowner Auseth Well one of the conditions for the denial is that an as built survey be done But one of the reasons is because staff worked with the applicant to approve the building permit for those additions prior to this evening s meeting so I m assuming that those additions will still be constructed Fred Bruning They re underway Auseth And so if the variance is denied and staff talked with the applicant at length about this that the as built survey would be required either way to make sure that the site complies with whatever the Planning Commission decides on the variance Dillon Those are all the questions I have Papke Just one question from me The 25 7 that s there now that the applicant is asking for was there any variance granted to achieve that So that in this particular case if I understand things correctly the applicant exceeded the 25 accidentally or but So you re asking for something that in your statement here you re asking to retain that However there was not granting of a variance to achieve that in the first place Just so we understand that Fred Bruning No We re just asking to recognize a pre existing condition that the vast majority of people around them 7 111 Planning Commission Meeting December 2 2008 Papke Pre existing that was Fred Bruning 25 7 Papke city code by the applicant Fred Bruning Which the majority of property owners within 500 feet also are in violation of Papke For which we have no evidence other than your visual inspection of these aerial photographs Just so we understand You know the Planning Commission has to make decisions on the data we have in front of us The data that s on file in the city records and so on You know we can t make decisions on the basis of your visual observation of aerial photographs Fred Bruning I understand My visual observation may be biased You could have staff look at the same photos They re I mean you actually have I would suspect that this looks very similar I suspect this is from the same web site They did the same calculation when they required us to do an as built To do a survey of the property The survey requirement and reducing the hard cover to 25 that was very late in the process You know going through this whole process you know the client s doing the addition The applications and everything It was a very late thing to add You know I guess I just ask I ask you to think about it and consider the reason of it you know Putting them in the situation to enforce their hard cover I mean some of these I mean look at some of these lots I mean if you guys are going to take the approach of pulling them into compliance when you have neighbors like this that are I mean you don t even have to do a survey to look at some of these and you know know that they re way over 25 Papke Anything else Fred Bruning No I guess that s it Papke Okay Thank you very much Appreciate it Anybody else like to speak Okay Seeing none close the public hearing and bring it back to Planning Commission for comments and discussion Undestad You know the comment about the neighbors or who s in compliance who s out of compliance That s why we started the zoning ordinance You know we have no idea how many people are out there that are over the 25 now but the idea is when people come to do this kind of stuff or add a patio or a shed or anything that s when this stuff is caught and then we have that opportunity to fix it Unfortunately that s what this is Somebody came in for the permit application for an addition and oh by the way you know we re already over it before we start so As far as the use of the house you know I m not sure what everybody else has inside their house in the neighborhood I don t think that really matters the way it lays out here so You know again what I see here is something that Commissioner Dillon brought up later is the variance for the driveway or the hard surface or anything again for neighborhoods like this you know just one right after another one s going to come in and want the round about s and the turn around s so I guess I m kind of siding with staff on this one 8 112 Planning Commission Meeting December 2 2008 Papke Okay thank you Keefe Yeah I m struggling with the hardship Really what it is and I think reasonable use is probably I think these guys probably have reasonable use so that s kind of where I come down on it Laufenburger One of the things that I m thinking about is the engineered patio The 723 square feet I think but even if you disallowed that considered that not part of the impervious they re still over so I appreciate their attention to attempting to keep the erosion down but even if that was considered pervious they would still be over I don t know I look at that and like you Mr Chairman we don t know that that house is over 25 Visually it looks like it and if I was a neighbor I would be upset that how can they do that But that s not our job Our job is to enforce the code of the City of Chanhassen and so therefore enforcement of the code is where I would settle too Papke Thank you Kathleen Thomas I think everyone has said it well and enforcement of the code is what the important part is so that we don t have more of these same issues or people coming in and asking the same thing and saying well what s 3 What s 4 That kind of stuff so I agree Dillon You know I think on page 6 of the package we got here under the paragraph that calls compliance I mean it kind of nets it out pretty well for me The applicant has demonstrated that the goals of the homeowner to add onto the home can be achieved without the need for the variance It s my perception that that s mostly what they want is to increase the living space here and it sounds like they can get that and you know kind of can change the dog kennel Change the pea rock You know make the gas grill thing eliminate that Yes a little bit smaller on the turn around things but it kind of sounds like it would get at the public safety issue of the backing out all the time and so it would seem to me that that would be the best win win situation is to deny the variance but say go ahead with this other stuff We wouldn t even have to say go ahead with it It sounds like it s already in play Papke Well said The only thing I d add to all the discussion so far is I appreciate the challenges that the homeowner has with the topography on this lot We have a lot of these situations in Chanhassen However on the flip side this is almost 2 3 of an acre and I think there s plenty of opportunity here for other alternatives I think with the driveway we ve seen that several neighbors have equivalent or more challenging back out s and there s plenty of alternatives to do gravel turn around or something like that where pervious surfaces are I m sorry The public hearing is closed now So I think there s the applicant does not have a hardship from the perspective that there are many alternatives that could be employed to stay within city code in this case So anyway that s all I have to add So with that I ll entertain a motion 9 113 Planning Commission Meeting December 2 2008 Undestad I ll make a motion That the Chanhassen Planning Commission denies Planning Case 08 24 for a 3 7 hard surface coverage variance on Lot 7 Block 1 Maple Ridge Addition and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Action and subject to conditions 1 through 4 Papke Is there a second Dillon Second Undestad moved Dillon seconded that the Chanhassen Planning Commission denies Planning Case 08 24 for a 3 7 hard surface coverage variance on Lot 7 Block 1 Maple Ridge Addition and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Action and subject to the following conditions 1 The site must comply with the 25 maximum hard surface coverage requirement as outlined in the City Code 2 Excess hard surface coverage must be removed and revegetated no later than May 31 2009 3 An as built survey signed by a registered land surveyor is required and must be submitted no later than June 15 2009 to ensure compliance 4 Final building inspection will not be approved until verification of compliance All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0 APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Thomas noted the verbatim and summary minutes of Planning Commission meeting dated November 18 2008 as presented

FROM Jerry Ruegemer Recreation Superintendent DATE November 17 2008 SUBJ Changing Lake Ann Field 3 from a Multi Use tacility to a Designated Youth Little League Field PROPOSED MOTION The City Council approves conver ion of Lake Ann Ball Field 3 from a multi purpose field to a dedicated youth Little League field Approval of this item requires a simple majority vote of those City Council members present The City of Chanhassen takes great pride in providing first class athletic facilities to the youth and adults of our community As our community population grows we have an increasing need to provide additional or sports specific facilities The Little League Baseball program has experienced substantial growth and the Chanhassen Athletic Association CAA has approached the city requesting that we convert Lake Ann field 3 from a multi purpose field to a youth baseball field For many years Lake Ann field 3 has been used primarily by CAA for boys baseball during the spring and summer seasons For the first time this past fall the CAA girls softball program used this field two times per week for their program If the decision is made to convert this field a different location for girls softball will need to be identified In order to convert this field it will be necessary to erect a fence at a distance of 225 ft and replace the ag lime infield with a grass infield The biggest project expense will be the outfield fence Discussions have taken place between staff and fencing contractors to look at cost savings It has been determined that the existing outfield fence posts and 8 ft wire fence can be reused Changing the infield to grass can occur after the summer season concludes in July so that there would not be any interruption during the baseball season Chanhassen is a Community for Life Providing for Today and Planning for Tomorrow 162 Mr Todd Hoffman November 17 2008 Page 2 The following is an estimate of expenses as it relates to fencing sod and irrigation Fencing Irrigation Sod for infield Total 4 000 500 500 5 000 The Chanhassen Athletic Association is willing to contribute to the project costs The city is being presented with an opportunity to address a specific need for a growing segment of our youth sporting population The timing is good because the primary user of the field has been youth baseball and with minor modifications a second official little league field will be ready for use by next spring PARK RECREATION COMMISSION REVIEW 11 25 08 The Park Recreation Commission considered whether to convert Lake Ann Ball Field 3 from a multi purpose field to a designated Little League field at their November 25th meeting The commission discussed staff s recommendation and heard from the audience which only included a representative from the Chanhassen Athletic Association Initially it was estimated that the conversion would cost approximately 8 500 However after furtherreview it was determined that the existing fence posts and 8 ft fence could be reused Additionally the Chanhassen Athletic Association stated that they will contribute 5 000 toward the project and it is staff s intention to complete the conversion within this amount Following discussion the Park Recreation Commission recommended that the City Council approve converting Lake Ann Ball Field 3 from a multi purpose facility to a designated youth Little League field The CAA will present their 5 000 donation at a future City Council meeting ATTACHMENTS 1 Field Layout 2 Letter to Athletic Associations 3 Park Recreation Commission Minutes dated November 25

FACILITY TO A DESIGNATED YOUTH LITTLE LEAGUE FIELD Public Present Name Phone Number Todd Neils Chad Erickson 952 401 8950 952 470 5118 Daniel Looks like we have some guests here and public here to consider changing Field 3 at Lake Ann Park from a multi use facility to a designated youth Little League field Jerry Ruegemer Thanks Chair Daniels Just wanted to talk about that tonight We do have two representatives from the Chanhassen Athletic Association tonight and Mr Todd Neils is here and Mr Chad Erickson are here We ll go through the staff report In looking we ve been kind of an evolving department and facility provider here for a number of years We ve looked at Lake Ann through been in our system for a lot of years It s time to kind of take a look at you know the numbers that we ve had in certain segments of our population and community in athletics and this field at Lake Ann has been used as a multi purpose field you know back a number of years was adult softball primarily Then when Fields 4 5 and 6 came on line we pretty much shifted all the adults over to the longer fields This primarily became kind of a youth multi purpose field that we played you know girls softball on and primarily has been used for boys baseball In the last oh probably 3 to 5 years primarily it s been baseball for that And through the years we re always taking a look at suggestions made by our local athletic associations 2 167 Park and Recreation Commission November 25 2008 There certainly is a need for this size of a field This would be somewhat of a mirrored image of Field 2 that s currently at Lake Ann and so it s time to take a look at that because that certainly is a growing segment of our sporting community at this time What we re proposing to do if you look on I think it s in your packets as well I have colored photos if you guys would like to see that What we re proposing to do is as the CAA brought up at a previous meeting and I put together just a little aerial photograph kind of illustrating kind of the scope of the project So we re talking about currently right now the field the current fencing stands at 268 feet What we re talking about doing is proposed to move that in 60 feet or be a total distance of225 feet What we d do then is in the staff report we re proposing to use the existing poles or posts that are already existing Take those out and then re set those at the new proposed fence distance at 225 feet We had talked about matching the fence heights to Field 2 That was the reasoning for the 6 foot height for that but in conversations tonight it may not be a steadfast rule or regulation by Little League to have a 6 foot fence or somewhere in that proximity and we may be able to use the existing 8 foot fencing that we currently have Stolar Because I think Bennett has 8 foot fencing on a couple of their fields Ruegemer So we ll take a look at that but in the cost estimates that I had in the staff report that was based on moving the current post in to a distance of225 feet and then re installing brand new 6 foot fabric and then along with a couple new corner posts and an entry point Those two new posts for that and those would be concreted in The rest would be air put in by air or kind of air driven in versus having individual concrete footings for that so that s a little bit better for frost and is a little bit quicker to put in and that sort of thing as well So looking at that you know propose to do a sod infield as well and we ll do that kind of in this proximity right in there Minor modifications would need to be made with the irrigation system to kind of trench that into the interior of the infield area in this kind of proximity That cost estimate I think was around 1 000 for the irrigation part of that and roughly around 800 for the sod And we had talked about last year not to interrupt the spring and summer seasons that work could be performed after the completion of the 2009 seasons so those typically are over with by the end of July so anywhere from end of July until we have snow on the ground we can complete the sod work and irrigation work on that infield And it sounds like the athletic association here tonight would be okay with that process to get that done I think the most important piece of the project would be to get the fencing in by next the start up of next year If the proposal is approved or recommended tonight we re pretty much on time at this point with frost going into the ground now but you know that work can be done in 2 3 days next spring to ensure that there wouldn t be any interruptions for the season next year So it s a fairly easy task to accomplish if that s what the commission would like to do in converting that field so That s kind of the scope of the project It s staffs recommendation that we recommend the City Council to approve the project and we move forward on that Daniel Excellent Thank you Jerry Guys any questions Stolar Just one The lights that we just installed Is that going to still be useful where they re at That far away from the fence I assume it lights the whole field as it is now Hoffman No change in needing the lighting 3 168 Park and Recreation Commission November 25 2008 Stolar And what are you going to do with the extra spacing then on the 60 feet there we ll just leave it open grass and such Hoffman Also there s an opportunity in the right field comer to there s a real drainage problem there we ve struggled with for many years There s a chance to do some work there and also a chance or an opportunity to expand parking Ifwe move into an enhanced picnic shelter and ballfield concession stand up above this field it s just right above that comer We would have the opportunity to expand parking by doing some work on that comer of this field so if this is shorten we would foresee bringing forward as future plans to do some work Perhaps a retaining wall and some fill in that comer Some drainage tile and then if we added a parking lot so it some opportunities The rest of it would just be left as grass Similar to what you see at Field 2 right now There is a batting cage that was installed there because we additional room on Field 2 Daniel I do have one question Jerry Is it it looks like you re moving the home plate back about 20 feet or so Ruegemer Yeah that s those are just real rough we didn t have bases on the field so our GIS person just put some white dots on the field itself The field we can readjust if we need to but I would assume that the base pegs home plate and all that stuff would be the same as it is today Daniel Oh it is Okay I was just curious because I m doing the math and where it s at right now and not using that as a scale No no I m just talking about Ruegemer That s real rough because 225 feet certainly would be for the fence line it would be from home plate Daniel Okay Ruegemer Those are for discussion purposes Hoffman Not to scale Daniel Anybody else Steve Tom Kelly Did you get any negative feedback from anyone that you copied on this letter Ruegemer I haven t heard from anybody from the list Yea or nay on that Either through voice mail or email Kelly Okay Ruegemer I would assume that the our audience members would be in favor of that that are here tonight 4 169 Park and Recreation Commission November 25 2008 Kelly How about the group that used the field in the fall Stolar The girls softball Ruegemer That s part of the Chanhassen Athletic Association Stolar Todd have you heard any concerns Todd Neils From our softball Two years ago we made the decision to move softball primarily to Chan Rec to as it s a community for the girls that are in coach pitch to senior league softball and the fields are appropriately sized and there isn t as much need for fencing Stolar Okay So this thing this last fall the two times per week you get the Ruegemer Or some other location and that was really the first time I think that they played girls softball in the fall Scharfenberg Fall ball was this fall yep Ruegemer This past year so Yeah that was one of those you know scheduling I think that did happen this year that we could find alternative areas for Daniel No conflict Jerry with soccer Ruegemer That Daniel Was not used for soccer at all Ruegemer We can find other locations yeah for that Daniel Okay Excellent And I assume Todd do we need to make a motion Recommendation to City Council Okay For approving this Anybody like to make a motion Scharfenberg I move to approve the project as proposed Stolar Second Scharfenberg moved Stolar seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission recommends that the City Council approve changing Lake Ann Field 3 from a Multi Use Facility to a Designated Youth Little League Field All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to O Stolar We didn t ask about what the actual contribution You did read the small writing that said all of it Todd Neils The Chanhassen Little League reiterates it s intent to donate 5 000 5 170 Park and Recreation Commission November 25 2008 Stolar For the record thank you That s nice of you guys I think this will be a good project for all of us Todd Neils Thank you 2009 PICNIC RESERVATION FEES Ruegemer We did review the picnic evaluation at our last meeting and we are going to look at the picnic fees now Have been getting some phone calls and I have made some reservations already for 2009 For next year Basically we re kind of quoting the current rates for that but it s my intention or recommendation tonight that we keep the fees the same Kind of with our economic kind of point that we re at right now I think it d be wise to keep the fees the same We did change the names already in the computer system and that sort of thing as well so really at this point I just want to make a recommendation that the Park and Rec Commission recommend to the City Council that our fees remain the same in 2009 as they were in 2008 and those fees would be attached or on the back side of the staff memo Hoffman Almost universally across the city fees are staying at 2008 rates in 2009 There are a few exceptions but not very many Daniel And I really see no I mean there really wasn t any regardless of economic conditions Jerry I mean the price I think based off of what we discussed last year fell in line anyways and we had good success this year so Ruegemer Yeah the commission really took a hard look at them last year and kind of simplified the whole process and simplified picnic categories and that certainly made it easier for staff to communicate that information to our customers and it as really both two thumbs up on that picnic categories the way we had it in 2008 so it was a good thing That s why I really wanted to kind of recommend that we stay the same Daniel Excellent Dan you have any questions Campion None Daniel Glenn Steve Scharfenberg No Kelly No Daniel I m alright We should make a motion to approve the 2009 picnic reservation fees Stolar So moved Campion Second 6 171 CITY OF CHANHASSEN 7700 Market Boulevard PO Box 147 Chanhassen MN 55317 Administration Phone 952 227 1100 Fax 952 227 1110 Building

Park Superintendent APPROVAL OF AGENDA Stolar moved Wendt seconded to approve the agenda amended by Todd Hoffman to add a conversation about the updated park dedication fund history projections under Administrative Reports All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 7 to o PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS None VISITOR PRESENTATIONS None VOLUNTEER RECOGINITION PROGRAM Ruegemer Thank you Chair Daniels The rest of the commission good evening As part of the approved 2008 Key Financial Strategies the council did ask staff to develop a program recognizing volunteers who contribute their time and efforts to the city Recreation functions and other programs that we have Staff did develop the kind of this model It was reviewed conceptually back in August at the City Council From that point there was some directive some changes made to the model for the Park and Rec Commission s review and that s what we re here to do tonight to take a look at the volunteer recognition program to kind of look at the categories The criteria information pertaining to the volunteer program Make the necessary changes and updates tonight and then staff will then forward it onto City Council for their consideration and approval So tonight staff is recommending that the Park and Rec Commission review and finalize the volunteer service award recognition program And then after that staff again will forward it to City Council for their final consideration Daniel Okay Just for clarification Todd that this was separate from I do believe what s the other community service award that we participate in or at least the City has Hoffman Environmental Service Daniel No Stutzman You mean the Rotary 1 177 Daniel The Rotary I think it s the Rotary Okay Just want to make sure Ruegemer For the Person of the Year Daniel Yes Ruegemer Yeah that would be a separate program and this is somewhat modeled on the Environmental Excellence Award We re probably going to try to keep it somewhat consistent with other city award programs Hoffman Environmental Service Awards were presented last night to individuals A neighborhood and an individual that s working on the Lotus Lake watershed and the neighborhood was the Lake Riley Woods neighborhood for rain gardens They planted eight rain gardens in their neighborhood and those were the Environmental Service Award winners last night Daniel Wonderful Questions Comments Thor Smith None right now Come back to me later Daniel Okay Dan Campion I have none Daniel Glenn Stolar Just one question I was wondering if we could separate out schools from community groups and organizations just so you aren t having the Rotary compete against Key Club I was just wondering if that would be I don t know what environmental does but I was just thinking that there can be such a vast difference in those It d be nice to recognize the school people who make sure they have a category that they get It s a suggestion Ruegemer Would there be enough school groups out there do you think that would merit having a fourth category Stolar Well we had the Minnetonka Seniors do the project last year We had Key Clubs from two schools I believe have helped us Stutzman Ah yes Holy Family just helped us out It wasn t the Key Club but student volunteers did Stolar Volunteers So I don t know Maybe it would encourage it We can always change it later too I m just saying that at some point maybe to give them their own 2 178 Hoffman The council also wanted us to look at even broader than that To incorporate people that do things for athletic associations so we may want to as you work through your conversation tonight take a look at that as well Daniel I think we can certainly put that language in there I mean the community groups or organizations I assume like the Chanhassen Athletic Association would fall under that Them real in general especially under the park and recreation aspect of it But I like Glenn s thought because certainly there is we have associations like what the CAA does plus on some of the other both athletic and other recreation organizations out there but also the schools especially give recognition officially I suppose or some sort of nod to a lot of the volunteer activities that the schools do Stolar Plus you re going to have the high school opening up soon Daniel Exactly Stolar We ll have a bunch of different groups that will want to come in Kelly Is there any limit to the number of awards that can be awarded for each category One per category per year or is it unlimited Hoffman We would try to do one per category per year I know last night they awarded two of the three categories They didn t have a candidate in the one Stolar Right I mean I expect we wouldn t necessarily have a candidate in each of those It depends on who gets nominated but just one So it d be a max of 4 per year then under the Daniel Thanks Glenn Steve Scharfenberg Todd does the City have or do they recognize employees short of this program but do they have a recognition program for staff members that do anything Hoffman No Scharfenberg Would it be you know one thing to think about is to include staff as part of that because we have a lot of staff that does a lot of things I think above and beyond their normal duties in terms of recreation programs and stuff so I would throw that out as a consideration too And then to get to Glenn s question of if there is do we have a role in terms of determining winners or not Hoffman Yes Scharfenberg Okay So I m assuming if there s more than 2 in one category we talk that out and come up with a decision Okay Daniel Excellent Scott 3 179 Wendt What a great idea I like really like the idea of adding a fourth category for schools especially with the new high school opening up so looks good Daniel And Tom anything else you want to add Kelly No You answered my question Daniel Okay Well I think this is a fantastic program and certainly in the park and recreation area as I mentioned earlier this would be a good opportunity for us to recognize a number of both community organizations as well as residents and businesses I mean and going back to what I said earlier about schools I think that s something that we could certainly put into as a separate category At least that would be I think what I d be in favor of seeing As far as any are there going to be any type of advertisements How do we go about notifying the public of these activities Or these awards I should say Excuse me Hoffman It d be advertised similar to what the Environmental Service Awards are put in the paper Put in our community Connection Maybe some direct mailings out to the schools Daniel Okay Hoffman Other organizations Stolar The web site Daniel Obviously all for 2009 so this is something that we will then have to vote in November of next year or October I assume Do a review and we ll make the presentation in November Okay Hoffman It s a last night at the council meeting these are there are a lot of people that come in for them and it s good publicity Good press So it s a combination of factors It s recognizing some people and but it also inspires others to continue in the good work that they ve started in and then for others to jump on board and do some good things so Daniel Yeah And there are a number of other categories we could certainly add I mean but I think the four will basically touch I think each of the important volunteer portion and I think that s the critical portion I think Steve you bring up a very good point about the city employees and staff within the city of Chanhassen I don t know if necessarily this might be the forum but I assume Todd maybe down the road that there is some Hoffman If the Council wanted to do that they would do it most likely on a more uniformed and universal basis Daniel More so then just a recreation 4 180 Hoffman We do an internal one for service awards at our annual social for our employees Our annual recognition dinner so Daniel Excellent Well it sounds like we need to make a recommendation I assume I certainly would have liked to see something to the effect of us at least adding schools as a fourth category Scharfenberg I don t know I think if you ve got schools in there you re going to have if it turns out that we ve got an over abundance of schools participating I think you know we can always change it I would say just keep it with the 3 for right now and see how things go Daniel Well do we want to maybe re evaluate after 2010 then Wendt I don t think we re not limited to the number it doesn t say that we have to give just one award either Daniel Each of the following categories Ruegemer Well that was the thought process was one award Wendt Didn t you say you gave two last night Hoffman Three categories last night One didn t Wendt Oh okay I thought you meant there was 2 within the same Hoffman No Wendt Okay Stolar Would there be anything that would prevent us if it turns out we do want to split that in the voting next year from doing that I mean we re still collecting from people It s not like we re changing it Hoffman Yeah I think we want to move forward with either 3 or 4 as a decision because once we start printing this stuff up Daniel You want to be consistent Hoffman Come in and then we decide we re going to split it council s not going to they re going to say it s not what you advertised There might be some cross over You might have an individual at either a community group or an organization school that could be recognized as a resident They might do something affiliated with the school They might lead some special project You could recognize them as a resident and so that would provide some cross over Campion Maybe if schools were broken off it could be schools or youth contributor award type thing 5 181 Kelly Is there any there s no monetary value to this at all It s just a certificate I mean I don t see the I mean I don t see the need to limit it If you get 3 or 4 really good residents that 1 don t see a need to limit it to one per category per year I think if you expand it to take into account more than 1 per category then the idea of splitting the schools goes away because now you don t have to that s not I don t see the need to limit it to 1 per category if you get some great residents or businesses that really contribute because there is no monetary value so you re not taking away budgets It s just I mean this here is to recognize really good community contribution That s my two cents Hoffman I believe the environmental ones are limited to 1 and not it s just to keep it exclusive and then also not to run out of if we could give out 40 awards the first year 10 awards or 15 awards and then you re quickly going to run out of potential candidates over time Businesses especially Daniel I think that s actually a critical point In looking at it I think we want to make if you do make it inclusive enough to a certain extent or something that is set as far as on a goal It s certainly not on the minds of any of these people who are volunteering It s frankly the furthest after thought that they ll have but I think at the end of the day if it gets there s some meaning behind it based off this limited amount that have been the limited amount of rewards that are there then certainly it gives that much more of a reward I think to a certain extent Wendt And if in the future we had two great candidates we could probably talk about it at that time when it comes up right and call them so But for now on the 3 versus 4 can we take a vote between us what we want to do Daniel We can certainly do that I guess as far as those who are in favor of having the school as a separate category Hoffman Somebody needs to put a motion to the floor and you either vote it up or down Daniel For the the school as a fourth category Stolar Alright so I ll move that we take staff s recommendation but amend it to add a fourth category of schools Campion Second Stolar moved Campion seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend that the City Council approve the Park and Recreation Volunteer and Service Recognition A wards with the following categories Resident Business Community Groups and Organizations and Schools All voted in favor except Scharfenberg who opposed and the motion carried with a vote of 6 to 1 Daniel Well then we ll certainly move forward with that based off of Commissioner Stolar s recommendation and move onto old business 6 182 Scharfenberg Do we have to move to adopt staff s recommendation with that Stolar That s what I did I proposed it as an amended motion Daniel Yep Stolar Probably not Robert s Rules of Order but close Hoffman You ll see the nominations You ll work through them Make a recommendation to the council and then typically one or two of the commissioners assist with the awarding of the certificates that evening so you can look forward to that next year Stolar We ll have Steve give the school s one Daniel Okay 7 183 CITY OF CHANHASSEN 7700 Market Boulevard PO Box 147 Chanhassen MN 55317 Administration Phone 952 227 1100 Fax 952 227 1110 Building Inspections Phone 952

Pavement Management software in conjunction with site investigations The proposed improvements generally consist of milling and overlaying the pavement surface removal and replacement of severe pavement distresses and minor drainage improvements within the project areas The project also includes miscellaneous sidewalk and concrete curb and gutter replacement at various locations throughout the City and the replacement of the TH 5 pedestrian trail from Dell Road to TH 101 The original proposal presented to City Council in October 2008 included directionally boring a replacement sewer forcemain within 77th Street Subsequently in November 2008 there was a break in the watermain within 77th Street Given the condition of the exposed watermain staff requested funding G ENG PUBLlC 2009

bore process Once funding was granted staff felt that the utility improvements within 77th Street should be bid separately from the 2009 Street Improvement Project therefore the replacement of the sanitary sewer forcemain within 77th Street is not proposed under this project The City of Eden Prairie has budgeted to overlay Dell Road north of Highway 5 A portion of this road lies within the City of Chanhassen specifically the western lane between the northern Chanhassen City Limits to Highway 5 The City of Eden Prairie estimates that Chanhassen s share of the overlay cost is 75 000 This work is proposed to be paid entirely through City funds therefore is not included in this project or the proposed assessment roll A neighborhood open house was held on November 12 2008 Over 27 property owners attended the open house The following summarizes the residents questions issues How long will the project take to complete Will I have access to my property during construction Why can t this project wait Why doesn t the City pay 100 of the project cost Will the assessment amount change How are the assessments paid Why was my street chosen for improvements I do not want the proposed sidewalk All of the residents questions were answered at the meeting or with a follow up phone call The proposal presented at the open house included a sidewalk connecting the north south and east west segments of Kerber Boulevard to Meadow Green Park The entire cost to construct the sidewalk was proposed to be assessed to the units within the medium density project area The residents present at the open house overwhelmingly objected to the proposed sidewalk therefore Staff sent a questionnaire to the property owners who would be assessed for the sidewalk construction asking their opinion The following summarizes the neighborhood response Number of questionnaires sent 249 Number of responses 135 Opposed to sidewalk construction 120 54 responded 89 of those who responded Based on the

is limited to whether or not the proposed project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements If it meets these standards the City must then approve the site plan This is a quasi judicial decision The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving rezonings PUDs and amendments to PUDs 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 Due to all the changes that have taken place since the City Council last reviewed this item the staff report has been rewritten in its entirety 206 Arboretum Shopping Center Planning Case 08 22 January 12 2009 Page 2 of 11 PROPOSAL SUMMARY The applicant is requesting a Planned Unit Development amendment to allow a drive thru in the Arboretum Shopping Center development and a site plan amendment to add a drive thru window The site is located at the northeast intersection of Highway 5 and Century Boulevard and is zoned Planned Unit Development It is intended to provide neighborhood commercial uses for the adjacent residential properties to the north and east as well as retail services to motorists on Highway 5 The site contains a building with an area of 5 506 square feet A convenience store occupies 3 986 square feet The proposed Milio s restaurant will occupy the remaining 1 520 square feet The entrance to the convenience store is located along the northeast comer of the building while the entrance to the restaurant is located along the west side of the building Staff is recommending the entrance to the restaurant be relocated to the north 1 1 207 Arboretum Shopping Center Planning Case 08 22 January 12 2009 Page 3 of 11 On October 21 2008 the Planning Commission held a public hearing to review the proposed development The Planning Commission voted 4 to 1 to deny the request The reason for the denial included the following A1 COM N rm 0IDu 1lIlT D I V k W J o 0 o 0 I I I I I CAA WASH I J oeo st lXJS lN tJi 1t DM I S F o 0 i I l u O 0 t I I r I I I I t J o lD Q J l loNI t Z W U 1 HIGHWAY N 0 5 Applicant s original layout The layout proposed by the applicant will block people in on both sides of the stacking lane Also if these parking spaces were empty stacked cars would block those spaces and prevent people from parking in them The applicant requested that the drive aisle leading to the drive thru window be counted as three parking spaces The Planning Commission disagreed with the applicant since a car cannot park in the drive thru lane Pedestrians must cut through the drive thru lane There are 50 Milio s stores in the nation Only 12 of the 50 have drive thru windows The stores are still in business Other sandwich shops in the area Subway and Jimmy Johns do 208 Arboretum Shopping Center Planning Case 08 22 January 12 2009 Page 4 of 11 not have a drive thru and they are still in business The layout that the city staff recommended does not fit the applicant s budget The concern in 2003 was setting precedence This concern has not changed One way traffic exiting through the gas station during rush hour when Nick and Willy s and Jimmy John s are busy as well may complicate traffic flow On November 10 2008 the City Council reviewed and tabled action on this application The applicant was directed to work with staff to achieve a solution that staff can support The applicant revised the plans accordingly ANALYSIS The request consists of two components 1 PUD amendment to allow a drive thru 2 Site Plan amendment to allow a drive thru window and drive and replace parking PUD AMENDMENT The current language in the PUD ordinance states PERMITTED USES The permitted uses within the neighborhood commercial zone should be limited to appropriate commercial and service uses consistent with the neighborhood The uses shall be limited to those as defined herein If there is a question as to whether or not a use meets the definition the Planning Director shall make that interpretation The type of uses to be provided on this outlot shall be low intensity neighborhood oriented retail and service establishments to meet daily needs of residents Such uses may include small to medium sized restaurants no drive thru windows office day care neighborhood scale commercial convenience store churches or other similar type and scale uses as described in the Comprehensive Plan No single use shall exceed 5 000 square feet The applicant is proposing a drive thru window for a sandwich shop Milio s The window is proposed to face Highway 5 Staffhad lengthy discussions with the applicant regarding the drive thru window and explained that in order to support it it should meet design standards The request appeared before the city council on November 10 2008 The City Council supported the concept and directed the applicant to submit a plan that city staff can support Staffhas always maintained a neutral stand on a drive thru in this specific location The site is fairly removed from any immediate residential neighborhoods However staff believes that it 209 Arboretum Shopping Center Planning Case 08 22 January 12 2009 Page 5 of 11 should be designed in a fashion that does not negatively impact traffic circulation and operation within the development Therefore staff recommends all drive thrus be limited to Lot 2 Block 1 Arboretum Shopping Center and meet the following standards Drive thru facilities for any use shall comply with the following standards a They shall not be located adjacent to any residential lot lines b They shall be provided with a suitable visual screen from adjacent properties c Stacking shall be provided within applicable parking lot setbacks d Stacking shall meet the following standards 1 Fast Food Restaurant six cars per aisle 2 Banks three cars per aisle 3 Pharmacy two cars per aisle 4 All other uses two cars per aisle e The City may require a vehicle stacking study to determine whether more or less stacking shall be required for a particular use t Stacking areas shall not interfere with vehicular circulation in the parking lot nor encroach into any required drive aisles g Speaker or intercom system shall not be audible at the property line h A Fast Food Restaurant with a drive thru may not exceed 1 550 square feet in area SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Milio s Sandwich shop is interested in occupying the space There are currently two Milio s shops in Eden Prairie one shop with a drive thru and the other without Staff visited the shop with the drive thru on a week day and observed the traffic patterns for approximately 45 minutes from 11 45 a m until 12 30 p m There were a maximum of six cars in the drive thru lane at the time when staff was observing the site Staff then visited the site in Chanhassen and attempted to visualize transforming it to accommodate a drive thru window A layout was then designed that can allow acceptable traffic circulation on the site f r J 4 r t The layout included a driveway dedicated to the drive thru window traffic moving one way and parking spaces replacing those that have been removed due to the placement of the drive thru lane 210 Arboretum Shopping Center Planning Case 08 22 January 12 2009 Page 6 of 11 This layout was given to the applicant with detailed explanations of staffs concerns and the reasoning behind it Applicant s revised plan Westwood Professional Services Inc submitted a plan on behalf of Leutem Property Management LLC for site changes to the property located at 7755 Century Boulevard for the installation of a drive thru facility The plan incorporates comments received from the October 2008 submittal The applicant proposes to allow one way traffic along the west and south side of the building Upon entering the one way aisle drivers can either enter the drive thru or the parking lot A raised landscaped boulevard is proposed between the parking lot and the drive thru to provide drivers with a visual distinction between the two areas Additional 60 degree angled parking is shown on the south side of the building This parking will replace parking spaces that are removed due to the location of the drive thru lane The western three angled parking stalls must be striped and signed as compact stalls so that the minimum 18 5 foot drive aisle requirement can be achieved 211 Arboretum Shopping Center Planning Case 08 22 January 12 2009 Page 7 of 11 The order board is shown on the west side of the existing building just north of the entrance The pickup window is shown on the south side of the building The proposed improvements will allow for four vehicles to queue at the order board including the vehicle at the order board and four vehicles to queue between the order board and the pickup window including the vehicle at the pickup window The owner proposes to modify the curb layout on the west and south sides of the building to accommodate the drive thru A 12 foot wide drive aisle is proposed for the drive thru Two way traffic can still be accommodated on the 29 foot wide minimum drive aisle on the south side of the building The current outdoor patio located southwest of the building is proposed to be relocated northwest of the building The Planned Unit Development allows a maximum hard surface coverage of 70 The existing hard surface coverage of the planned unit development is 68 3 The overall green space on the site will be increased by 205 square feet tI u II D I Applicant s proposal Staff s Proposed Revision Staff is proposing to relocate the patio and main entrance as shown in the above exhibit Moving the entrance to the north will separate pedestrian from vehicular traffic Additionally it will also reduce the hard surface coverage on the site and move the outdoor seating area farther from the order box It is staffs opinion that the existing location of the entrance separates the use of this space from the rest of the development Moving the door to the north will allow the space to become part of the Arboretum Village Development 212 Arboretum Shopping Center Planning Case 08 22 January 12 2009 Page 8 of 11 PARKING TABULATIONS The city s parking ordinance requires One parking space for each 60 square feet of restaurant without an on sale liquor license One parking space for each 200 square feet of retail The parking for this site was approved with the original approval in 2003 The restaurant portion of the building requires 25 parking spaces The remainder of the building which is a gas station with a convenience store has an area of3 972 square feet which requires 20 parking spaces Total parking required per ordinance is 45 spaces This number appeared to be excessive since in all likelihood people buying gas will remain parked at the gas pumps walk into the store and pay their bill and leave There are 16 parking spaces at the gas pumps Based upon that method of calculation the City Council approved a total of 44 parking spaces The overall number of parking spaces will remain the same Previously the applicant had requested a variance for the overall required number of parking spaces The plans have been revised to replace the parking which in turn eliminated the variance The plan proposed by the applicant replaces all parking spaces that were removed due to the location of the drive thru Parking spaces will be moved to the south portion of the site The planned unit development ordinance governing this site allows parking spaces to encroach into the 50 foot required setback if the parking is screened The proposed parking spaces will maintain a setback of 20 feet from the southerly property line and are proposed to be fully screened SITE PLAN NEW DRIVE THRU WINDOW G C TO COORDINATE LOCATION SIZE RECESSED LIGHTING l UNDERSIDE OF CANOPY As stated earlier the applicant is proposing to add a drive thru window along the south elevation of the building 213 Arboretum Shopping Center Planning Case 08 22 January 12 2009 Page 9 of 11 LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS The applicant is required to buffer the parking stalls fronting Highway 5 and add landscaping within the proposed island To screen headlights and views of the parking area shrubs will be required along the parking area adjacent to Highway 5 The applicant has proposed 52 Techny arborvitaes to be installed parallel to the curb line These evergreen shrubs will serve to screen headlights from westbound Highway 5 Any existing bufferyard plantings that are removed for the development must be replaced within the same area The applicant may group plantings together in order to add interest to the landscaping if the design does not diminish the screening capacity 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 ofthe 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 a 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 c 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 d 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 214 Arboretum Shopping Center Planning Case 08 22 January 12 2009 Page 10 of 11 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 and the zoning ordinance The applicant is increasing the green space on the site Site circulation is of concern however it can be redesigned to avoid conflicts Staff is recommending approval of the request with conditions RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following motions PUD AMENDMENT The City Council approve the Planned Unit Development amendment for Arboretum Village PUD 99 02 Planning Case 08 22 amending the design

of these before me as some other people on the council so this certainly did help and I think with conditions set forth so I too support this so Mayor Furlong Is there any other discussion If not we have a motion before us that s been modified with a condition and subject to the Findings of Fact being presented in the next meeting is that correct Kate Aanenson That s correct Mayor Furlong Okay thank you Is there any other discussion Councilman McDonald moved Councilwoman Ernst seconded that the City Council approve Planning Case 08 19 for a 15 foot shoreland setback variance to construct a

CENTURY BOULEVARD KLMS GROUP LLC REQUEST FOR A MINOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PUD AMENDMENT TO ALLOW A DRIVE THRU AND SITE PLAN REVIEW WITH VARIANCES LOT 2 BLOCK 1 ARBORETUM SHOPPING CENTER Public Present Name Address Bryan Monahan Andrew Ronningen Lynne Etling 7500 West 78th Street Edina 2669 West 78th Street 7681 Century Boulevard Kate Aanenson Thank you Mayor members of the City Council I m going to pass around there s two letters of support that came with this project This item appeared before the Planning Commission on October 22nd The applicant is requesting to amend the PUD to allow for a drive thru window The subject site is located at a neighborhood commercial zoning district as I mentioned done as a PUD that s located down on the northeast comer of Highway 5 and Century Boulevard bordered by West 78th This is one of those pocket neighborhoods that we put in place with the upgrade or when we did the Highway 5 corridor study to provide some convenience commercial for that neighborhood in this area So again the applicant did appear before the Planning Commission and before I go through the slides I ll just summarize what the 20 220 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 Planning Commission s discussion points were And that was that the layout proposed the applicant would block people on both sides of the stacking lanes and it appeared that the parking spaces after you stack cars would not be able to back out The Planning Commission also requested that the drive aisles drive thru be counted The applicant requested that the drive aisles be counted as parking space and the Planning Commission disagreed with that interpretation Pedestrians must cut through the travel lane to get to the building and I ll show a little bit more on that in a minute And the Planning Commission also asked the applicant the intended use to go in there if they could go in without the drive thru window and I think that was a concern when we look at neighborhood zoning districts as a whole We have some other neighborhood zoning districts that we haven t allowed that so they did spend some time on that And also the layout that the staff had recommended The applicant disagreed with that although I think we could move towards some ofthat There s still some underlying concerns with that Again in 2003 when this project did come to the Planning Commission we the staff remained neutral in presenting a drive thru at that time and the Planning Commission had recommended no on that so I ll spend a little bit more time on that in a minute And then they also the final thing that the Planning Commission talked about when they recommended against was the one way traffic through the gas station during rush hour and Nick and Willy s may present a problem So with that I ll just kind of go through the proposed project itself This is the original site plan that came through in 2003 The applicant at that time and I m not sure if anybody remembers but at that time they were looking at a drive thru coffee shop and it was integrated into the back of the design At that time again the staff because it was a neighborhood zoning district took a neutral position We actually had Findings of Fact for and against and the Planning Commission in looking at that drive thru even though you could see that there were 6 stacking stalls separated from the access to the gas station and the other uses itself completely separated they still were concerned about the precedent at that time And actually by the time it got to the City Council this council actually deferred on it for a couple meetings too Spent a lot of time studying it Asked staff to go look at some other applications so in that time at that time it was determined that that probably was not a good use and the use itself went even a little bit further If you look at the architectural compatibility and this is the use itself is that we actually put on the back side of the building so when you re looking from Highway 5 you wouldn t see it It was actually integrated into the building itself You can see the enter so it was architecturally compatible so you wouldn t see it from the other side either so it really had the least amount of visual impact And so even at that the Planning Commission and the council ultimately decided that they did not want to support So here we are a number of years later and the applicant is requesting the drive thru And you can see on this application the drive thru again is on the north side Again it s further away from the residents but it s as far as visual impact it s not the preferred choice but based on now the current layout of the business itself how it s function the kitchen the bathrooms and the like this is what they thought was the best location for that drive thru So we did go look at the use that wanted to go in there how it operates in Eden Prairie Went through the operation and this is the larger view I ll go to a closer view where you actually you have segmented uses so you actually have more stacking that you re not crossing through the traffic at the main entrance And a close up of that would be there s a car wash if you can follow the arrow here to the car wash that goes one way I believe it goes the other way and then to go through Milio s you re coming back through the opposite way so there is they re not you don t have pedestrians crossing to get into the business on this so it s a little bit different and they had the segment in stacking space which this one didn t So right away again 21 221 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 in looking at doing a PUD amendment for a drive thru we re not limiting what type of use can go there Obviously depending upon how much volume somebody else marketing would look at that sort of thing but we re not limiting it to any particular user It just says drive thru window So in looking at kind of worst case best case scenario This was the staff s best attempt at making this work Again the preferred alternative would have been on the back side but trying to make this work In replacing the additional parking stalls that were eliminated Trying to reduce the area of conflict which would be trying to get into the door here on this side Where the restaurant would be You re crossing through the travel lane of the drive thru and that s where the Planning Commission struggled the most problematic portion of that And this was the applicant s drawing for that Again the staff s concern is that we had conflicting the way this would back in here you could actually block the traffic coming through the business itself There wasn t additional parking provided with this application Again that area of concern And then these seemed to be also difficult because you re coming through the drive thru so you re losing these and these may be difficult to back out of too when you ve got accelerating traffic coming out ofthe drive thru itself So here s a little close up again kind of again highlighting exclusive stacking space for vehicles waiting to place your orders is not provided so you re the vehicles waiting to stack at the menu or the order place could also be blocking the traffic and then the potential for the vehicle conflict coming the other way or people coming out because it s narrow right through there So again the Planning Commission did recommend denial of the application for reasons that I stated in the staff report and so with that I d be happy to answer any questions that you do have The motion that we had for you is placed on the front page of the application Mayor Furlong Questions for staff Councilman McDonald Did you actually propose to the applicant your design Kate Aanenson Yes we did Councilman McDonald What kind of feedback did you get Kate Aanenson Well I think at the Planning Commission there was a lot of resistance but I think between now and then trying to meet all that before it went to City Council I think they re willing to meet some of those designs The concern that we had is that I think the biggest issue here is if you re willing to go forward with the PUD amendment We didn t want to expend additional money that if you weren t going in that direction I think if you re leaning that way and then you wanted to make some conditions I think at this point we didn t want to spend have the applicant spending additional dollars on that Councilman McDonald And then the other question I have with the traffic flow the way it is towards the back isn t that also the way you would go to get into the car wash Kate Aanenson That s correct There is a couple ways to get through there but it does get a little congested I think at the lunch hour time too when Nick and Willy s is a little bit busier Councilman McDonald Okay That s all I have 22 222 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 Kate Aanenson And Jimmy John s too Councilwoman Tjornhom Kate did I read that there are additional parking spots that are going to be created Kate Aanenson That s what we had requested The applicant at the Planning Commission didn t want to do that I think they re willing to show that for you tonight and so I think that they ll talk to that but at this point I think we wanted to get just kind of a read before we spend money and go further into that if they re willing to meet those I think we can work through the design issues but I think what we wanted to get for the read is what you re receptiveness to the drive thru was Councilwoman Tjomhom But the real issue is really is the traffic flow and the stacking Kate Aanenson Well there s a couple issues One it s not the preferred design because we actually the stacking is one but you re also taking pedestrian traffic pedestrian movement through a travel lane for ordering food And then it is while it is a PUD and you could make conditions unique to this but we ve told other neighborhood commercial zoning that it could be a precedent Mayor Furlong Other questions for staff at this point And I guess clarifying at the Planning Commission they made a motion to deny the request The applicant s Kate Aanenson Correct Mayor Furlong Okay And I see in the staff report what some of the concerns were laid out there and one of them was this was talked about 5 years ago in 2003 when this came through and are there any other while it s a PUD Kate Aanenson Right Mayor Furlong It s a neighborhood business level of zoning effectively correct Kate Aanenson Correct Correct Mayor Furlong Okay And so what else do we have in neighborhood do we have any other restaurants drive thru in neighborhood business Is at Galpin and 5 we have CVS and Kwik Trip Kate Aanenson There s no drive thru The only thing that we ve offered drive thru would be the banks drug stores dry cleaners would be the only ones to date that we ve allowed the drive thru So the other two uses up there that are food related are non drive thru s either That are contiguous to this 23 223 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 Mayor Furlong Well and didn t we have a request for a drive thru at Chanhassen Crossings at 101 and Lyman just recently Kate Aanenson Correct Mayor Furlong And we put significant limitations on it Kate Aanenson Correct Mayor Furlong What did we end up doing there Wasn t it I mean that s a coffee shop Kate Aanenson Right Mayor Furlong It s not necessarily a restaurant so there were expectations of Kate Aanenson Yes right Yes correct Correct Mayor Furlong You keep saying correct Kate Aanenson It was for a coffee shop and the circulation was different and that I think Mayor Furlong But there were it wasn t designed to be a food or a restaurant there Kate Aanenson Correct It was a very small area for what they wanted to look at was a coffee shop But we ve had other requests We had requests for fast food down there and we recommended no on all that We ve also there was the Subway across the street too that was looking at some of that but we had said no That was also a PUD so Councilman Litsey Is it kind of I mean I get the impression and from reviewing this myself that you re kind of trying to force something into an area that really isn t conducive to it or Kate Aanenson Right well one of the staff struggle is you know we d like to see something successful in this building That s critical Councilman Litsey Absolutely Kate Aanenson You know everybody would And other uses have struggled there We want this business to be successful so we tried to find a way to make it work and I m just not sure we re there In the design Todd Gerhardt And I think both the Planning Commission and staff are looking for a little direction from the council on this You know this center has kind of struggled here for the last 5 years I think it s been there and they re going on their third tenant in this building and we want to be successful The strip retail has had multiple uses in there and you know we need something to really anchor this comer and the applicant feels as if a drive thru would help that And one of the things you know I haven t had a chance to talk to Roger on this but we could give it a shot 24 224 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 for the one tenant and then with the POO amendment for Milio s but if for some reason Milio s can t make it there that that drive thru would only exist while that tenant was there Councilman McDonald Well that was the question I was kind of asking you on that because if Todd Gerhardt I know it s a challenge for Roger Councilman McDonald if this is a POO if we issue it for the PUD does that mean if this fails then a Starbuck s can corne in They ve got a drive thru Roger Knutson Without going into detail I think we can get there but we would due respect to the manager we want to word it a little bit differently Todd Gerhardt You don t want to take that wording huh Roger Knutson You can t do a PUD amendment that s only applicable to Milio s Todd Gerhardt Right Kate Aanenson It would be sandwiched related Todd Gerhardt So can it be time related or use related Roger Knutson If you tried to make it an interim use within the POO that is possible but then you d have to start over There are other things I think we could fruitfully discuss and how we could limit that Kate Aanenson Such as trip generation those sort of things Yeah Mayor Furlong Variety of factors What I m hearing is there may be some flexibility if that s something we wanted to look at Kate Aanenson Yeah and I think still we re still trying to struggle with the design Mayor Furlong But I hear if Mr Knutson is saying that there may be an opportunity to be a little more specific here without necessarily creating a city wide precedent is that correct There may be some opportunities We might not get it done tonight but there may be some things we could do Roger Knutson I don t think we could word smith it tonight but I think if the council wants to go in that direction we could corne back with something that will pin it down pretty good Mayor Furlong Okay Alright Kate Aanenson And again just to be clear I think there s some struggles of how much to spend on this and so we want to get some direction on that because we think we can make it better just 25 225 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 design wise not even just with the window The location Moving some things but obviously there s some I think some of the things that we are struggling with is the applicant s ability to invest in some of those So we kind of want to find get a read from you and to see where to go with that Mayor Furlong Alright Councilwoman Tjomhom Councilwoman Tjomhom How s the gas station feel about the drive thru and all the traffic that will be coming through there Todd Gerhardt The owner of the gas station is the applicant Kate Aanenson It s the same Councilwoman Tjomhom It s the same I m sorry Kate Aanenson That s alright Councilwoman Tjomhom I didn t realize that Mayor Furlong Any other questions of staff at this time If not we will invite the applicant to come forward and address the council Is there anything you d like to say Good evening Mark Leutem Hi My name is Mark Leutem I am the I m going to say one of the owners of the gas station which includes the car wash and the tenant space that we re looking to fill Just a little quick a quick background Family owned and operated business It started in the fall of 2004 My family I actually married into this thing My wife was starting this investment at the time we were engaged and becoming married and so I m the fix up guy anyway But the point is that the business in that location has under performed We re doing about somewhere between 28 About 30 of what the business was originally projected to do We are the owners of the real estate and the operator that was supposed to be in there lasted 18 months and he went bankrupt In the restaurant space in the front there that s had 2 other operators First one went bankrupt after about a year Second one I m not sure where he is I think he s back in Mexico or something Anyway but the point is that we the word struggle was used earlier and that s a very very solid word and I don t mind saying we ve probably put in about 15 000 a month on average to keep this thing going Part of the strategy to get this business to just start to take care of itself includes putting a solid tenant into that space Being in the real estate world we went out to find potential tenants We talked to brokers and agents and we talked to Caribou We talked to Starbucks We talked to Dunn Brothers None of those are options They want to be on the other side of the street for their particular reasons in what they do so unless I can bring it across the street they re not a consideration We went to McDonald s We went to the Noodles and Company You pick the franchise We ve talked to all of them and they re not all hard to talk to because a lot a few brokers represent a lot of these folks Those franchises require a square footage of at least 25 000 square feet You may be able to squeeze them in there Closer to 25 28 to 30 I m sorry 2 800 to 3 000 square feet 26 226 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 Kate Aanenson I was going to say Mark Leutem Yeah We are way too small to be a McDonald s And so those aren t options We really need and in fact as I ve been interviewing potential tenants there we really need to put a tenant in there that s going to stay and a tenant business that s going to succeed I ve literally had some tenants come and look around and say well yeah but a couple other businesses failed here and why did they And when I explained I don t think thing they had real good business plans They did for a number of different reasons They couldn t get the traffic flow they needed or what not and so the intent as the space is getting hexed Okay so I spoke with Mr Moravec Vic Moravec who has a franchise of Milio s franchise in Eden Prairie here He s very excited His company has done due diligence on it Milio s is a franchise name There s 50 stores in the Midwest They have some name recognition in the area Growing quickly Very solid business Well capitalized Just the thing we re looking for Requirement is he needs a drive up in order for the business model to work and succeed So here we are today dealing with that particular issue In the City Council meeting as was brought up earlier there was some resistance I come today with no resistance to the staff at all In fact I m coming today to suggest that we look to try to get approval to this concept and then I would be more than happy to work with staff and staff s recommendations to follow a design that s developed that they re comfortable with That meets the needs of our requirements of getting this accomplished and that staff could be perfectly comfortable in recommending As was stated earlier we can be close I don t think we re quite there either I had some disagreements before on how many cars are going to be stacked and what not We re not going to do any of that tonight But like I said I would like to work with the staff Come up with something that makes sense Since that city planning meeting talked to some of the architects Other developers and some other folks and some other ideas have been tossed out that haven t even been addressed together with myself and the staff so I think there s a number of different options that can be developed so this thing makes sense and is consistent There was a question earlier about the possible congestion around my pumps We would really love to have some congestion around my pumps As I said before we are less than third of the capacity that this business was originally projected to do And so you know we d like to do that The other part of it too is you have to keep in mind that we are a continuous building so the traffic flow and sharing of parking space and entering and exiting is not uncommon If you look in a number of different layouts in certain businesses they can essentially be contiguous in each other I think I ve addressed all relevant points Mayor Furlong Very good thank you Any questions for Mr is it Leutem Mark Leutem Leutem yep Mayor Furlong Okay Mr Leutem Councilman McDonald I guess at this point then what you re telling us is you re willing to work with staff as far as addressing some of these issues they have about traffic flow and the way traffic would be handled around the center Mark Leutem Correct Yeah I envision that the design is what staff and I would put together and again that the staff would end up being comfortable with recommending it 27 227 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 Councilman McDonald Are we close as far as what staff s proposed design was Is that a good starting point Mark Leutem If you could go to the picture that That one there We can be close I just thought actually did think about something as I was sitting in the chair here and I have to talk with Mr Moravec but from a space standpoint I mean we could move that window even further down which would shorten the access points Still get the 6 cars in there that they want and so then that would get away with some of the cross traffic or the stuff walking across And then they also with working with Westwood they had a number of different recommendations about how that parking and that handicap could be redone so the flow is a little smoother and everything lays out a little bit easier There s less construction There s less changing of the berm and stuff like that so I think there s a few other options again that haven t even gotten to the table discussing how the design would go Councilman McDonald Okay Mark Leutem But generally speaking we re you know generally going this direction Todd Gerhardt Is there the possibility of moving that front door over to the north side of the building Because then it d keep people away from that drive thru Mark Leutem Yeah everything s possible I think Todd Gerhardt We ll design it right here Sorry Mayor Furlong No we won t Mark Leutem One of the things one of the things when I was with my concrete folks is that you can see that takes away part of the sidewalk that s like right in front And actually when you take that out and you get on the scene and you put a tape measurer to that there s enough room to leave that sidewalk going all the way and still get the lane in there Kate Aanenson Yeah it s the issue we had just to be clear you know as you re crossing People aren t going to walk all the way yeah We can work on it Todd Gerhardt We won t design it here Mayor Furlong Any other questions this evening for Mr Leutem We may have some others as you Mark Leutem Well yeah Mayor Furlong If you watched the earlier one Mark Leutem Yeah I don t have any other plans 28 228 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 Mayor Furlong We never close out our right to ask questions so Councilwoman Ernst Well I just have a comment that when you were talking about moving the window to make the traffic flow a little easier I see Kate shaking her head and yes So I m encouraged to hear that the two of you will work something out and bring it back Mayor Furlong Thank you I know there was a public hearing at the Planning Commission I don t know if there are other members of the public here present that want to comment on this With Mr Herbst standing I m guessing the answer to my question is yes there are so we ll take some public comment here as well Good evening Dan Herbst Good evening Honorable Mayor members of the City Council Professional staff My name is Dan Herbst 7640 Crimson Bay Road in Chanhassen and also co owner with Ron Clark of Century Wine and Spirits We are before I give you points that point out talk to you about We are running low of wine club memberships before the holiday season so if you want to sign up tonight Mayor Furlong I don t think this is an opportunity for advertisements We ll let this one go Dan Herbst First of all I apologize for not being here at the Planning Commission meeting We would have liked to state our case as well as other people at the Planning Commission but we didn t see it as a real issue and I think when you assume something like that you always make mistakes so I apologize for not being here But you know from the obvious point of view you already know there s a road already that loops the south side of that building From a precedent setting point of view you already have a drive thru on that PUD with the car wash I ve been in this business about 40 years and I in both the commercial and the residential end and you know looking at your Findings of Fact you know this drive thru window is very very consistent in my opinion with all of the other uses that are part of the Arboretum Center there I see no inconsistency whatsoever There s also some mention in your Findings of Fact about lowering property values I think that s invalid also So I think it s consistent with your PUD It s going to boost all the businesses in that area That place has been open and closed as Mark mentioned to you about 3 different times I think it s compatible with all your performance standards of your planned unit development You know and just on a personal issue having 8 grandchildren a drive thru is a real real plus When you ve got to bail kids in and out of those seats and watch them run across the street to go into a restaurant a drive thru is a real great thing and all of you that have had children and more so if you re handicap And so I think there s a real advantage to a drive in window so I strongly recommend that you would approve this and I like the theory that Kate has put up that if you approve the drive thru concept on this site which is and the drive up window I think the details can be worked out with Mark and Kate and Paul as far as the parking and the traffic and everything else but I strongly would recommend that you would approve this tonight from the concept of allowing the drive and drive thru window and let the details be worked out with staff so Are there questions Mayor Furlong Thank you Any questions for Mr Herbst No 29 229 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 Dan Herbst Okay thank you Mayor Furlong Thank you Lynne Etling I would like to speak as well Mayor Furlong Please come forward Lynne Etling My name is Lynne Etling and I actually live at 7681 Century Boulevard and I just broke your thing I think I got it I can t give as eloquent a speech as he did but I would like to talk about the proposed change here Mayor Furlong If you could your address again ma am Lynne Etling 7681 Century Boulevard Mayor Furlong Thank you Lynne Etling I live within 500 feet of the development Mayor Furlong Great thank you Lynne Etling And I also spoke as well at the Planning Commission and I m not going to take up your time going through everything that they have already discussed here However you know I do want to strongly stress that they are asking for a variance There is a lot of if and s or but s Nothing out here is laid in factual what they re planning to do now and as far as what I can see was not copied on the letter of approval from whoever supporting it But when you talk about you have a business Obviously it didn t have a great business plan to begin with The people that have been in there have been in and out The last company that was in there actually had their children in there all the time so obviously when you have little children running around you re not going to do a great deal of business with your restaurant It s not conducive So as far as the people that live in that area I don t feel that you know I m sorry but I do feel our property values are going to go down because of this because everyone is going to go in there There s going to be a lot more traffic You re trying to pull traffic from the commuters instead of the people that live there There s a lot of differences to this with what they re proposing I mean a lot of changes to it and frankly they re trying to put a square peg in a round hole It just doesn t fit This is not made for a drive thru and the people that are going to go in there are going to come back out Go onto the road Do a U y Creating a traffic problem which is the primary concern for me and then go back out onto Highway 5 So there s a lot of things here I don t think hardship is proven My property value has gone down tremendously since when I purchased my home not even 2 years ago but you know that s not taken into account There s a lot of things here that you know I just don t support it I don t want to see your business fail However I don t want my property value to go down even more I don t want to have a wreck when I m trying to get out of the neighborhood You ve got one business compared to I don t know how many homes that are there 500 personal units You know I don t want to waste your time I think you know that he s trying to do his best that he can However Ijust don t I still 30 230 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 feel that it s a square peg in a round hole and unless they take the drive thru out you know Ijust don t think that it s feasible Mayor Furlong Okay And if I may question You talk about U turns Is that traffic that exits the entrance on Century Boulevard is right in right out is that correct Kate Aanenson Yeah Lynne Etling Right And they ll come out It s not a one way Mayor Furlong There it is That s good So they Kate Aanenson Correct So you could come back out this way and then try to go up and around Lynne Etling And that s what everyone does Kate Aanenson Right Lynne Etling That s what they do now Kate Aanenson Certainly that would be one of the issues that we d look at too is controlling some of that If you were to consider Councilman Litsey Another thing you could do is like a No U Turn sign there or something Kate Aanenson I think there is one Lynne Etling There is one there now and they just don t do it Kate Aanenson They still do it Councilman Litsey Is there one there now Kate Aanenson Yes there is People ignore it Councilwoman Tjornhom I ve never seen it either Mayor Furlong If I could Lynne Etling Maybe there isn t I don t know But there should be Mayor Furlong And I think Ms Etling that s a valid point in terms of traffic flow Not just within the development but on the streets surrounding it If we re already having problems that s an issue that we should probably be looking at and I know Mr Herbst is here and others and maybe I mean regardless of where we go on this if this goes forward at least from tonight 31 231 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 we re talking about it and we haven t even talked about it yet There have been suggestions that we look at it from a concept and then get into the details and then bring something back But to your point we could all look at and evaluate Lynne Etling Right Mayor Furlong Because there really isn t anything here but a concept at this point Lynne Etling Right and I don t see a win win for everyone here yet Mayor Furlong Okay And understand that but I m wondering if we already are having some problems with traffic flows and maybe we are maybe we aren t in terms of the U turns there People coming out Going up Turning back around to get out to Highway 5 Lynne Etling In the summer when they do the re paving the main thing that you see is the path for the U turn Mayor Furlong And as I recall this was we were looking at pedestrian traffic as well as car traffic and when this development originally went through Kate Aanenson That s correct Mayor Furlong There were some there were concerns at that time so Lynne Etling Right and this would change the platform that you have there The footprint of that whole development Mayor Furlong Perhaps from a volume standpoint Lynne Etling Right Well and you re attracting metro traffic instead of urban Mayor Furlong Yeah Okay Kate Aanenson Mayor if I may just make one point just to be clear on the process here They re asking for a PUD amendment and the variance was because they didn t want to provide the additional parking I heard Mr Leutem say that he was willing to meet the standards for that so the variance would go away Not to dismiss the other concerns but then it would just be the PUD amendment which is a little bit different standard Lynne Etling Right which would be setting precedent for the Kate Aanenson I don t disagree with that but Ijust want to make sure if he had agreed to put the parking in That was what the variance for 32 232 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 Lynne Etling May I ask one question that I didn t think to ask earlier at the Planning Commission When you say that you did a study of the drive thru stack lane at the Eden Prairie location was that a qualified certified traffic inspector or was it just an employee Kate Aanenson Yep Well City Engineer Assistant City Engineer correct Who I believe is qualified to make Lynne Etling But not a traffic engineer through right Kate Aanenson Correct Lynne Etling Okay Councilman McDonald Can I ask just one question Mayor Furlong Councilman McDonald Councilman McDonald Do you feel if we could solve the traffic problem does that make this a little bit more attractive to coming in to the community Lynne Etling Well I would love to have a coffee shop to be honest with you But I mean 3 sub shops within you know what 500 600 feet of each other Ijust don t think that s a good business plan Councilman McDonald Well that s probably up to the individual businesses but my point is what I m hearing is traffic seems to be the biggest problem and if that s something we were to concentrate on and improve whether the business succeeds or not is up to the business Would that make it make it more attractive as far as you know coming into the neighborhood itself Lynne Etling As long as it was enforced Councilman McDonald I beg your pardon Lynne Etling As long as it s enforced I mean that s the biggest issue is they re you know it s out there It s mainly for that Arboretum Village and you know I m sorry if I ve been a frequent visitor of both of them I have a membership at the Wine Club and I used to go to the restaurants since I ve been there too However I didn t like the children running around while I was trying to have a quiet dinner You know it just wasn t good business But to have something like that going around the whole building and blocking all the individual parking spaces even if he does create more you ve still got the hazard of trying to have the cars backing in and out while someone is stacking there I mean that s what I m meaning when I m saying you re trying to put a square peg in a round hole It s just you know no matter how you design it unless you would you know you d have to totally redo the whole thing Put the driveway on the other side or something so you have more stacking lane I don t know Councilman McDonald Okay 33 233 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 Mayor Furlong Well thank you I appreciate your comments Lynne Etling Thank you Mayor Furlong It s been helpful Thank you for your involvement Is there anyone else who d like to come up Good evening sir Brian Monahan Hi there My name is Brian Monahan I m with Ron Clark Construction We are the owners of Lot 1 Block 1 It s the center north of the gas station Mayor Furlong So I m sorry The one you re highlighting now Kate Aanenson Yes Mayor Furlong Just straight north Okay thank you Brian Monahan We actually favor this action We would like to see increased traffic to our center Currently we re at 67 occupied in our center We ve been that way for about 2 years Naturally if more folks are coming in to the center then that s a bigger possibility for not only our tenants to succeed better as far as our center is concerned but also the gas station and whatever tenant they might have We ve found that I ve been with Ron Clark for 2 years and for the last 2 years we haven t had a tenant on the end cap which we would love to have a coffee shop as well But unfortunately everyone wants a drive thru That s what we found is that everyone and a drive thru While we might be jealous of them being able to get their drive thru because then we won t get our coffee shop we would also welcome the added traffic that it would bring to the center And I know I can speak for several of our tenants One of them is here That they also welcome the possibility of additional traffic to the center Obviously traffic whether it s pedestrian or just regular folks getting a sub or whatever attracts more business to their businesses A Karate studio for instance A Pilates class Edward Jones is in there It s a financial planning company and then of course the liquor store I know I can speak for at least all of them that more traffic is better for us We feel that it s possible to work this out being in the real estate business ourselves and also the development and construction business We can actually see that there s a couple of possibilities that might be able to work out if we re given the chance to move forward with that And that s pretty much our stance As far as the real estate values I think we can all agree that most real estate has kind of gone down from the last probably 2 3 years I don t live anywhere near any of this which I would actually welcome but my house value has gone down as well so I mean it s I think that s kind of a moot point to be honest And the last thing I ll say is is that there is actually two entrances There s an entrance and an exit out Whether folks move out through the entrance or in through the out trance or the out or what have you you know it s I think it s kind of neither here or there to be honest Frankly if the direction of travel which has been proposed by staff those folks are more likely to drive past the pumps and out the other entrance over there on whatever West 78th Street That to me just seems like a natural As I m looking at it that s probably the way I would go out 34 234 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 Mayor Furlong Thank you One question for you since you brought up the subject that you would have been interested in a drive thru Brian Monahan Sure Mayor Furlong If the council were to go forward with the concept this evening would you be requesting a drive thru then at some future date for your building as well Brian Monahan Frankly we ve kind of examined the possibility of a drive thru and we don t see a possibility for adding a drive thru unless you were to build a lane on the back side of the building We re not willing to do that So the answer would be Mayor Furlong No Or is the answer no Brian Monahan More than likely no Todd Gerhardt You got an engineering answer Mayor Furlong Alright thank you Any other questions for Mr Monahan Anyone else wishing to come up this evening Andrew Ronningen Good evening My name is Andrew Ronningen I am the owner of one of the business the Fantastic Sams It s right in the middle essentially of the Ron Clark building and I just wanted to I wrote a letter but I wanted to really just highlight a couple of points that are very important When somebody is driving up towards this center they see that vacant building that we re talking about for the drive thru and obviously that s not appealing at all and I think that prevents people from coming into the Arboretum Center And so having a space there for that reason alone is important And of course we all know that a lot of businesses like that more than half their business comes through the drive thru It s just the way we are with our cars and everything We re a convenience walk in business and we re a proven business model There are over 1 300 around the country that we ve grown from 0 to about 80 Fantastic Sams just in Minnesota in the last 5 6 years So they very rarely close and our salon is definitely under performing and we can see and I can give you examples I have other salons that I own and where there is more frequent and relevant traffic like people coming through and being there the salons perform much much better so we would certainly benefit tremendously from increased traffic there And as an owner I m there you know 7 30 in the morning noon 10 30 at night Saturday Sunday s All different times and I ve walked around I buy my gas at the gas station and once in a while go down to the wine store Jimmy John s and so and as a pedestrian walking around I ve never had an issue with traffic There just isn t that much traffic there now so my thought too is even if there 50 more cars a day you know I don t know that anybody would really notice Because there is quite a bit of space and I rarely see anybody driving down in that lower loop anyway I mean rarely So I think that the impact is low but we re you know we have 7 people They re employed and have a lot of their livelihood based on that business and we d like to hire more and continue that we d also like to keep the jobs we have so from our perspective there too it s about keeping those jobs and filling up the center that we re in so that 35 235 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 we can be viable and offer great services for the surrounding neighbors because we re sensitive to what they need So I appreciate being able to talk about that Mayor Furlong Okay thank you sir Any questions Very good thank you Anyone else this evening that would like to provide public comment to the council Yes Mark Leutem Just on the issue of U turns If people are up there doing U turns I mean that s something I would certainly agree needs to change as well I don t want people doing that I wouldn t have any problem with facilitating the direction out of the facility for them to go and use the other entrance going out to the other road and it could be quite simple as putting a sign out there that says you know please exit this direction so I think we could channel traffic that direction So that would certainly be an option I mean another idea could be just re direct all of County Road 5 right between the strip mall and my gas station and out there Mayor Furlong Just run the state highway right through Mark Leutem Just run it right through there Plus put a stop light right in the middle of the building Mayor Furlong Right by your pumps Mark Leutem Alright thank you Mayor Furlong Thank you Anyone else Lynne Etling May I have one quick question Mayor Furlong Sure Absolutely If you could wait til you get to the microphone please Lynne Etling Sure In order to make this more feasible to us that live right there on the comer if you re wanting to get increased traffic from the highway from the commuters is it possible for the City to plant more shrubbery you know evergreens whatever to buffer the noise that that would bring Mayor Furlong I think the answer that was one of the things that was being discussed or laid out by staff too If the landscaping plan might change If this went forward and I ll defer to Ms Aanenson Kate Aanenson Yeah I think those are all the things that we want to work on I think just to certainly to make sure that there s less impact Lynne Etling Yeah because there s the big track right there that s directly across that is pretty barren that alleves all the noise then 36 236 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 Mayor Furlong Just so I understand Ms Etling the when you talk about doing some additional landscaping where on the property would you Is it along Highway 5 Is it along Century Boulevard It is along West 78th Lynne Etling No Actually along your wetland area there across the street so it would buffer the people that live there Mayor Furlong Where she s pointing to right now with the arrow Lynne Etling Yes Mayor Furlong Okay So you re saying between the business and the homes to the north Lynne Etling Yes Mayor Furlong Alright I think we can take a look at the landscaping plan if we went forward and I know that would be a part of it and I appreciate your Lynne Etling Because that s a wetland area behind me and what trees are there are pretty much dying and falling down It s kind of a big eyesore because they haven t been taken care of and that one area is all barren where trees probably were and they were taken down and nothing was replanted Mayor Furlong Okay Lynne Etling So that would help buffer the noise for us that live right there Mayor Furlong Okay Lynne Etling Thank you Mayor Furlong Thank you for the additional comments Anyone else from a public comment standpoint No Thank you for everybody s thoughts and ideas and suggestions as well Any follow up questions at this point with staff Maybe they ll come up as we discuss what s before us this evening If not is there any thoughts or comments Councilman McDonald The question I ve got do we really have something to vote on if everybody s willing to go back and talk to staff Kate Aanenson I guess we d recommend probably tabling it Right now the 60 days ends November 18th so I d probably ask for an additional 60 days Mayor Furlong Is that a request or is that an automatic It doesn t sound it like s going to be a problem 37 237 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 Kate Aanenson It s automatic Just to put them on notice that we d be taking the extra 60 days and that we try to work through a design but again in good faith with the applicant if the council didn t even want to go there we didn t want to pursue a lot of that interest Mayor Furlong I guess what I m hearing is that if it s something from a concept standpoint that we re willing to support and therefore would require time and effort on the part of staff as well as the property owners the applicants stuff like that we could give them that direction this evening Along with what sort of parameters we would like to see in that so they re not just working blind but as much direction as we could give them If it s the council s desire not to go forward here this evening then I think that s also direction that we d want to give this evening So that everybody knows and so it s you know it doesn t drag on Those would be my thoughts from what I m hearing tonight and obviously I m always open to listening what the rest of you think and I don t have all the answers Most of them but not all of them And I 11 let you know which ones I have the answers to by the way so So Councilman McDonald I think that to clarify I think what s before us tonight I don t think we have enough tonight to approve something specifically I think that was adequately raised but more in front of us tonight is is it a concept that we think makes sense for people to spend time on that we d be supportive of if certain parameters were met Councilman McDonald Okay Mayor Furlong Councilwoman Tjornhom Councilwoman Tjornhom In regards to setting a precedent I know that was one of the concerns the Planning Commission had for other planned unit developments or developments What are we setting ourself up for or not setting ourself up for Kate Aanenson Well I think the applicant I ll just point out one thing The applicant did point out the size This is a smaller square footage area so we can quantify some of that Because it wouldn t fit for a lot of the other fast food users like McDonalds and some of that because we limit we d cap the square footage of that that could absorb this type of use and I ll let the City Attorney address some other Roger Knutson Mayor members of the council I think with careful drafting that shouldn t be a real concern I think we can limit it to this what we have here Mayor Furlong Other thoughts or comments Councilman McDonald Well I had a couple other thoughts and everything to me I m in favor of going forward Anytime someone will come up and say they re willing to work with staff I m willing to listen The other thing about the traffic though I know down at Galpin this has come up before It s a similar situation where you re coming out a Snyder Drug down there and people are making U turns and I know that it s been addressed before and I m not sure there s a lot we can do about it I don t know what you can do about the U turns and I guess at this point I would maybe want to consider that as something outside of the application here It s something I would definitely encourage staff to look at but I don t think we found a solution for Galpin yet 38 238 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 and I m not sure we re going to find a solution for this one and I wouldn t necessarily want to tie that in to whether or not this project goes forward Councilman Litsey Yeah I think any time you have a layout like this coming off a main thoroughway and then you re going to come in and then the tendency is to want to cut comers to get back out again I was glad you didn t say aggressive enforcement because I don t think well they have the staffing to promise that but Kate Aanenson Well I think some of that can be addressed if we look at the traffic being generated The directional I think one of the issues that you have is just traffic as a whole so I think one of the resident raised the issue regarding doing a better traffic study What direction is that traffic coming and going What are the peak hours of the use of the business and how that relates too so I think we can try to manage it from there and then get some recommendations from the City Engineer Councilman Litsey Yeah I think if you could do it from an engineering standpoint but the one that comes to mind for me is the Cub Foods in Shorewood right across from Chan but you know there s a no right turn there but I ll tell you everybody makes I mean so signs are pretty I mean if you can do it through engineering it s a whole lot better Kate Aanenson Right Yep Mayor Furlong And I guess to comment in that particular development the Cub Foods development originally they didn t allow any egress out of the parking lot by the hardware store but everybody did it anyway so they ended up building the road to accommodate what people were doing I m not arguing that in this case I think you know people will find if you don t have a right turn lane on a busy road they ll drive on the shoulder to get around cars and go I think from a traffic standpoint the two issues here are one what s the traffic internal to this development if we were to go forward with this What would be the traffic flow there and how could we try to direct flow up to West 78th Street to exit as opposed to coming out on Century Boulevard You raise a good point Councilman McDonald about the Galpin and 5 where the Kwik Trip and the CVS is As I recall that CVS drive thru empties out going back to Galpin Councilman McDonald Right Mayor Furlong Here at least we ve got traffic going the other way so there may be some accommodations there but I think the key is what can we do within the development and still make it something that people are going to follow because even if you create all sorts of things you know you can only do so much But I think traffic flow is clearly an issue that we want to look at here Any other thoughts or comments on this at this point No Councilwoman Tjornhom your thoughts Councilwoman Tjornhom No Oh I m sorry Councilwoman Ernst No go ahead 39 239 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 Councilwoman Tjornhom I think it s something very worthy to be looking at If it s you know my only concern was the pedestrian traffic crossing over into the drive thru traffic and it sounds like you and the applicant can work together with that and I m all in favor of any business being successful and having patrons come to it in Chanhassen especially at that front space that does seem to so far not found a niche yet or something and so I wish you the best of luck and I look forward to working with you With this project Mayor Furlong Thank you Councilwoman Ernst Councilwoman Ernst I too would be in favor of the concept and obviously we ve had some tenants here tonight that have expressed being in favor of the business of the drive thru and we also had a resident come in and express some concerns and it sounds like we have some possible solutions for the landscaping piece And the fact that staff and the applicant can work together to come to a solution hopefully on the traffic flow and so I would be in favor of the concept And moving forward Mayor Furlong Okay thank you Councilman Litsey Thoughts Councilman Litsey No I think they ve been well stated I think looking for some ways to direct traffic flow other than I mean signage helps but you know people are going to go the way they want regardless of that so you re going to have come up with something a little better than that And respecting the residents I think putting up some additional buffers there is reasonable and I think the rest is pretty well in hand If we don t you know if we re not setting precedent I think I said that right I never say that word right but you know then we can do that legally then I think we re probably kind of getting there Mayor Furlong Okay Thank you I think one of the other roles that the 5 of us have is that of the Economic Development Authority and while often that s an entity that s created for separate legal entity from the City for financing purposes I always look at it as really one of our goals as a council is to promote and enhance our local economy That s good for our businesses It s good for our residents as well and clearly I think in this development it has not achieved the potential and what many people hoped for and expected in terms of economic success And here we have an opportunity perhaps to enhance that and do it in a way without setting precedent but at the same time do it in a way that makes some sense So I would support the concept of going forward I think from thoughts and comments I would tend to side towards staff s proposed design as opposed to what was presented before and I guess some examples I ll use is trying to separate and here you may not be able to separate the pedestrians walking across the parking lot and through there but perhaps with some median or something like that and a controlled crossing or some signage you can do that I think of the McDonald s in Excelsior where the drive thru comes right through the middle of the parking lot and that is it s a mess It s a mess Compared to the McDonald s in Chanhassen where the drive thru wraps around the perimeter and it s separated Here we may not have that benefit of separation but I think through some of the designs that staff was looking at to try to mitigate some of that conflict I think helps So I think my tendency would be let s work with some of the outlines that staff has put together You know from is 6 cars is 5 stacking and I think we can be flexible there I think we need more than the 2 in some of the other situations so I think we can be a little flexible there If we ve got 40 240 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 some constraints here I think 6 is a good standard overall for new development Here we re trying to retrofit and so there may be some other constraints that we have to work in So perhaps a little flexibility I know it s not significant but perhaps moving a window can help reduce the amount of the drive thru lane and still get you your 6 cars and so looking for those accommodations The other thing I would talk about and I know Mr Etling brought up the idea of landscaping I want to make sure we don t leave false impressions here That we re going to be landscaping across or requiring landscaping outside the property I mean there s some limitations we have too If we re looking at landscaping on the north side of West 78th and there are two parcels inbetween so I think that s something we can look at so I don t want to leave with false impressions that we re going to be doing that but I think we need to look at that See what can be accommodated with this to try to find some solutions and we talked about traffic already And you know I think there s some what it sounds like people smarter than I in terms of traffic flow there are some ways to try to improve the traffic flow just naturally as well as with some other means so But just from a standpoint of trying to assist the property owners and the local businesses there to be more successful I think it s worthwhile for us moving forward especially with the guidance we have this evening Mr Knutson who I always rely on that it can be done in a way so it s relatively specific I think we ve got size issues I think you know the fact that Century Boulevard is not a major through street It s effectively it drives up and then stops at West 78th and then is a local residential street after that unlike a lot of other neighborhood business areas where there s actually a crossing of major through streets and I m not going to start talking about minor and major arterials because I ll screw that up but the bottom line is is when Century Boulevard reaches West 78th going north of there that s a residential neighborhood That s a residential street and so there are some unique features from I think in terms of these properties from a traffic road design and it s location that s unlike some of the other areas as I m thinking through business neighborhood areas That also I think gives us some comfort that maybe we need to do a little bit more here to enhance economic success from that standpoint So those are my thoughts I think the council seems to be generally unison in supporting the concept and if other people have some thoughts I don t know if they ve thought of since Otherwise would it make sense to take a motion to table with the direction to bring it back as soon as possible but not set a specific meeting date knowing that there s some work to be done between now Is that acceptable sir Mark Leutem Yes sir Mayor Furlong Okay thank you Any other comments or would somebody like to make such a motion Councilman McDonald I ll make a motion that we table this issue that is before us and allow staff and the applicant to work together and bring us back a detailed plan that we can evaluate Mayor Furlong Okay Thank you Is there any discussion or is there a second Councilman Litsey I ll second that Mayor Furlong Councilman Litsey seconds it Any discussion on that Very good Thank you I will just make the comment Thank you everybody for your comments and input and we 41 241 City Council Meeting November 10 2008 will get more detail back so I know for those that are concerned about what s coming forward there will be that opportunity and that will come to a future council meeting It will stay at the council level and come back to a future council meeting We ll bring it on unfinished business at some point so that will be available And if anybody s interested in being notified of that why don t you make sure you get your name and address and mailing information to Ms Aanenson so you can be sure be notified Any other discussion If not motion s been made and seconded Councilman McDonald moved Councilman Litsey seconded that the City Council table the request for a minor PUD amendment to allow a drive thru and site plan review with variances for Lot 2 Block 1 Arboretum Shopping Center to allow the applicant and staff time to prepare a more detailed plan All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to O Mayor Furlong Without objection there s we ll take a 5 minute recess recess about 5 minutes subject to the call of the Chair here noticing the time The City Council took a short recess at this point in the meeting Mayor Furlong Let s call the council back to order and what I d like to do and propose to the council is some adjustments to our agenda this evening given the hour of the evening What we d like to do we have a gentleman here to talk to us along with our staff for item 4 a I think we d like to do that tonight We ll defer item 4 b since that again is a presentation Neither of those items are action items by the council so we ll defer item 4 b to a future meeting Go ahead with item 5 and then following our meeting this evening our work session items we ll complete items B which relate to the budget presentations and then defer item C under our work to a future work session So if the council is okay with that If there are no objections Does that make sense It s just that it s getting a little late and some of these items aren t time pressing so I d rather take them when we re all fresh Is everyone okay with that Why don t we go ahead and proceed with that WEST CENTRAL LOTUS LAKE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 08 02 UPDATE COUNCIL ON FEASIBILITY STUDY Terry Jeffery Mayor Furlong council members In 2005 I think you remember we had the Triple Crown Estate pond sometimes the Meadow Green Park ponds there was a failure when we had back to back storms in 2005 In 2007 we went out for a proposal to do a feasibility study to look at the larger what we refer to as the West Central Lotus Lake Watershed Todd Hubmer when he shows his presentation will have you ll see that area as we re talking about In February upon staff s recommendation council did approval feasibility study with WSB and Associates to look at the larger West Central Lotus Lake area and the specific issues we have in there WSB has come back with a feasibility study which we would like to present the findings to you tonight In essence it breaks it down Looks at it as three separate phases over a series of years that would address the overall issues There are a number of different what they re referring to as options I would think of them more as components within an overall solution to the problem which can be done with some flexibility when they are but again Todd Hubmer is here from WSB and Associates I ll let him present to you the findings We would like to look 42 242 CITY OF CHANHASSEN 7700 Market Boulevard PO Box 147 Chanhassen MN 55317 Administration Phone 952 227 1100 Fax 952

Coordinator DATE OLtY Ambrosen Senn Hard Surface Coverage Variance Planning Case 08 24 January 12 2009 SUBJ PROPOSED MOTION The Chanhassen City Council denies Planning Case 08 24 for a 3 7 hard surface coverage variance to exceed the 25 impervious coverage limitation by 1 038 square feet on Lot 7 Block 1 Maple Ridge Addition with conditions 1 through 4 on pages 8 and 9 of the staff report and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Action City Council approval requires a majority of City Council present EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant is requesting a 3 7 hard surface coverage variance to exceed the 25 maximum hard surface coverage limitation by 1 038 square feet Planning Commission Update A Public Hearing was held at the December 2 2008 Planning Commission meeting for this item The Planning Commission voted 6 to 0 to deny the variance request The applicant is appealing the decision of the Planning Commission to the City Council The City Council s decision requires a majority of members present The applicant presented a narrati e dated December 1 2008 stating that the topography of the site causes an undue hardship However based on the guidelines of the City Code for the RSF district the property owner does have reasonable use of the property which includes a single family home and three car garage The Planning Commission discussed the fact that the applicant showed a reduction of 1 039 square feet of hard coverage in order to obtain a building permit to construct the additions This demonstrates that their goal of adding onto the home and bringing the site into compliance with the 25 maximum hard surface coverage can be achieved The homeowner submitted security and a signed escrow agreement to ensure compliance with the decision of the Board of Adjustments and Appeals Chanhassen is a Community for Life Providing for Today and Planning for Tomorrow 243 Todd Gerhardt Ambrosen Senn Hard Surface Coverage Variance January 12 2009 Page 2 The applicant stated that the condition requiring an as built survey was added late in the process however staff conveyed this requirement to the applicant prior to issuing the building permit Water Resource Response In response to the narrative given by the consultant on behalf of the applicant at the December 2 2008 Planning Commission Mr Bruning states that the patio and retaining walls located behind the property are a solution to the erosion issues on the slope Staff disagrees with this statement The very act of placing hard cover immediately adjacent to the top of bluff results in an increase in the volume of water running off of the surface as well as a decrease in the time of concentration for this runoff This means that more water is running off the area at an increased velocity Some of the water will infiltrate through the brick pavers but without an underlying layer of engineered soils an underdrain system and regular maintenance this infiltration is limited and l diminishes annually Evidence visible in the photographs such as plant growth in the joints and an absence of granite chips in the joints indicates that regular maintenance of the patio as a drainage system does not take place 1 i i1l J rj ri 1r I I 1 1 The re establishment of a vegetative cover will slow the movement of surface water in the area create a more diffused flow pattern and promote infiltration of water into the soils compared to an engineered hardcover system This would also eliminate the need for the point discharge of drain tile westerly in the retaining wall system Finally the removal of the vegetation on the bluff itself exposes the soil to the full erosive force of the rainfall as well as the erosion which results from runoff No fewer than four trees were removed on the bluff City code allows for the removal of thirty feet or thirty percent of the lot width whichever is less This tree removal created a large opening in the canopy exposing a considerable area of bare soil Replacement of these trees would go a long way to improve the erosion problem on the lot 244 The Planning Commission did not find any objection to staffs recommendation for the variance request The City Council minutes for December 2 2008 are item 1 a of the January 12 2009 City Council Packet RECOMMENDATION Staff and the Planning Commission recommend the following motion The Chanhassen City Council denies Planning Case 08 24 for a 3 7 hard surface coverage variance to exceed the 25 impervious coverage limitation by 1 038 square feet on Lot 7 Block 1 Maple Ridge Addition with conditions 1 through 4 on pages 8 and 9 of the staff report and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Action ATTACHMENTS 1 Applicant Narrative dated December 1 2008 2 60 day Development

245 I December 1 2008 Staff has suggested that the only reasonable use of a property in R l zoning is a single family home with a 2 car garage I submit that this view is not current thinking of land use The majority of properties within 500 feet of this property are much more han that 10 out of 13 houses on Maple Shores Drive have 3 car garages or more a clear majority In addition an examination of the aerial photos on the Carver County website shows that 20 of the 32 residences in this area appear to be over the 25 hardcover restriction some extremely over These are pre existing standards for this neighborhood In comparison to the majority of the homes in the area Mark Ambrosen and Ann Senn are not asking for an unreasonable use of their property Because of the shape and topography of their lot my clients need to use precious hardcover for an atypically long driveway to access their home and a retaining waUl patio drain system to protect it Three properties to the South have longer driveways than my clients and each has a turnabout however they are all on near level lots Two have flag lot exemptions to the hardcover requirement the remaining is on a much larger property To the East are the only two lots within 500 feet that have an elevation change greater that this property however it is only slightly greater and over a longer distance This property is unique in that it has both these elements combined on a parcel that is substantially smaller than any of them The lot size combined with the shape and topography is the hardship it is not self created the willingness to accept an undue hardship does not negate the hardship or create it The granting of this variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which this parcel is located Mark and Ann have incurred both the monetary and more importantly the hardcover expense to mitigate the runoff erosion problem caused by the topography of their lot Without this allocation of protective hardcover my clients would be able to construct their addition a nd meet the hard surface coverage limitation while maintaining their driveway and turnabout They should not be penalized for their efforts to comply with the spirit of the hardcover code simply because they don t meet the letter of that code However denial of this variance could endanger public safety While staff s finding offact does not agree we feel that backing a vehicle down a narrow wooded sloped driveway in excess of 130 could be a danger to public safety I ask that the Planning Commission consider the following actions 1 Grant the variance as requested 246 2 Grant an exemption to the hardcover calculation for the retaining wall patio drain system in the rear of the home The City currently recognizes similar exemptions for swimming pools and driveways on flag lots etc 3 Request that the City Council consider recognizing other means of mitigating hardcover see list in original narrative 4 Modify the recently added condition requiring my clients to use an as built survey signed by a registered land surveyor to ensure that the lot complies with the 25 hard surface coverage We request that if the variance is denied Mark and Ann should be asked to maintain there existing hardcover condition currently at an estimated 25 7 The current excess hardcover is a pre existing condition that appears prevalent in the area We appreciate your considerations for this variance 4 rung Senior Designer Sawhorse Designers and Builders 763 533 0352

SUMMARY The applicant is requesting a 3 7 hard surface coverage variance to construct improvements including garage expansion house addition and driveway expansion on property located at 3830 Maple Shores Drive Lot 7 Block I Maple Ridge Addition The 28 100 square foot lot is a lakeshore lot located on the west side of Lake Minnewashta The applicant submitted and obtained a building permit in addition to the variance application to add two additions onto the home and necessary accesses totaling 848 square feet 251 Ambrosen Senn Variance Request Planning Case 08 24 December 2 2008 Page 3 of9 The applicant wanted to commence construction before the ground froze therefore staff worked with the applicant to process the building permit prior to the scheduled Planning Commission meeting The applicant demonstrated that the site could comply with the 25 hard surface coverage by proposing to remove 1 039 square feet of hard surface Staff has obtained a security deposit and a signed escrow agreement to ensure the removal and revegetation of the hard surfaces exceeding 25 should the variance be denied Staffhas advised the applicant of staffs interpretation and recommendation for the denial of the request The homeowner currently has reasonable use ofthe property which includes a single family home and a three car garage The applicant has demonstrated that the hard surface coverage on the site can be reduced to achieve their goal of constructing the additions on the site This request is a self created hardship as defined by the City Code Staff is recommending denial of the variance request BACKGROUND The property is located on Lot 7 Block 1 Maple Ridge Addition which is zoned Single Family Residential RSF The Maple Ridge Addition was platted in 1985 and consists of 13 lots The subject property was developed in 1986 and complies with the current standards for a riparian lot Minimum lot area for a riparian lot in the RSF district is 20 000 square feet The subject site has an area of 28 1 00 square feet 0 64 acres The Single Family Residential zoning district was adopted in 1972 which includes the maximum 25 hard surface coverage per lot Staff met with the applicant to discuss the proposed additions to the home Staff informed the applicant that a variance would be required for the 848 square foot expansions as the site would exceed the 25 maximum hard surface coverage by 3 7 The expansions include converting one stall of the three car garage into a laundry room and adding a new third stall onto the north side of the existing v garage a driveway expansion to access the third stall and a two story theater addition with a wraparound balcony on the east side of the house with concrete stairs and patio 252 Ambrosen Senn Variance Request Planning

848 1 038 28 7 253 Ambrosen Senn Variance Request Planning Case 08 24 December 2 2008 Page 5 of9 Site Characteristics The subject site is located at the end of a cul de sac The property is an inverted L shape and the majority of the property is oriented north south to the lake Most of the south side of the lot is a bluff with an elevation change over 46 feet and occurs within the first 70 feet abutting the lake The soils are classified as highly erodible land by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Driveway Due to the L shape of the property and location of the home on the lot the driveway is over 130 feet in length and includes a turnabout The driveway occupies II of the allowed hard surface coverage of the lot 3 143 square feet The applicant states that removing the turnabout is a hardship as the alternative is to drive in reverse down the 130 plus foot driveway However as part of the building permit and several discussions with the applicant it was conveyed by the applicant on behalf of the homeowner In the past there have been erosion issues concerning the bluff on the site To mitigate the erosion problems the applicant has had retaining walls engineered and a patio installed on the site However increasing the hardcover will subsequently increase the volume and rate of runoff and may lead to additional erosion As shown in the photograph to the left wood stairs have been installed down the bluff from the home to the lake to provide access This is permitted through Sec 20 1402 Stairways lifts and landings of the City Code 254 Ambrosen Senn Variance Request Planning Case 08 24 December 2 2008 Page 6 of9 that the turnabout portion could be removed to meet the 25 coverage to receive building permit approval for the additions Therefore the hardship is self created Upon inspection of the site staff noted that the driveway is relatively flat and straight Driving in reverse down the driveway does not create a safety issue and does not require a turnabout as outlined in the City Code According to Section 20 1122 11 of the City Code a turnabout is required on driveways that enter onto a state highway county road or collector roadway and city streets where deemed necessary by the city engineer based on traffic counts sight distances street grades or other relevant factors The subject site is located at the end of a cul de sac that serves 13 single family homes Of the 13 properties four have driveways longer than 30 feet which is the minimum front yard setback requirement in the RSF district The subject site is the only driveway with a turnabout which the applicant has demonstrated can be removed if the variance is denied Additionally Maple Shores Drive is not a through street and non residential traffic is minimal Compliance The applicant has demonstrated that the goals of the homeowner to add on to the home can be achieved without the need for a variance The applicant wanted to begin construction of the additions before winter and submitted a building permit prior to the Planning Commission meeting to construct the additions The applicant has submitted an application for a building permit which does not increase the hardcover Instead it mitigates for the hardcover by eliminating several ofthe existing elements on the property the driveway dog kennel grill pad and portion of the patio near the lake Compliance

variance be denied the excess hard surface coverage would be removed by May 31 2009 A condition is added that an as built survey signed by a registered land surveyor is required to ensure the lot complies with the 25 hard surface coverage The registered land survey must be submitted to the City by June 15 2009 Ambrosen Senn Variance Request Planning Case 08 24 December 2 2008 Page 7 of9 In speaking with the applicant prior to issuing the building permit the applicant explained that the additions were important to the homeowner who was willing to risk the turnabout in the driveway and

portiones of the 250 square foot patio and 120 square foot shed located near the lake could be removed or reduced to bring the site into compliance with the 25 maximum hard surface coverage for the site if necessary 500 feet The City Code states that a variance may be granted if the literal enforcement causes undue hardship and the property owner does not have reasonable use of the property which includes comparable properties within 500 feet 256 Ambrosen Senn Variance Request Planning Case 08 24 December 2 2008 Page 8 of9 Of the properties within 500 feet of the subject site outlined in yellow there have been two variance requests outlined in green One of the requests was for a 2 foot side yard setback to construct a two car garage at 3841 Red Cedar Point Drive The second request was for a 79 foot lot frontage variance for the construction of a single family home at 3727 South Cedar The consultant for the applicant suggests a number of examples for reducing the impact of increased hardcover While it may be true that some of these practices would offset the effects of increased hardcover there is no process by which these alternative management practices can be evaluated There is also no way to assure that these alternative practices will be kept in place in the future It is the intent of the hardcover code to maximize vegetative cover as much as it is to minimize total paved area The benefits garnered by maintaining an area in natural vegetative cover will always outweigh the benefits of an engineered pavement system regardless of how well designed or installed The applicant has not demonstrated a hardship that would warrant the granting of a variance Under the current conditions the homeowner has reasonable use of the property including a single family home and a three car garage The hardships listed by the applicant are not inconsistent with the criteria specified in the Zoning Ordinance for granting a variance Therefore staff is recommending denial of the variance RECOMMENDATION Staffrecommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion and the adoption of the attached findings of fact and action The Chanhassen Planning Commission denies Planning Case 08 24 for a 3 7 hard surface coverage variance on Lot 7 Block 1 Maple Ridge Addition and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Action and subject to the following conditions 1

doc 258 CITY OF CHANHASSEN CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES MINNESOTA FINDINGS OF FACT AND ACTION IN RE Application of Mark Ambrosen and Ann Senn for a 3 7 hard surface coverage variance from the 25 maximum hard surface coverage in the Single Family Residential RSF District Planning Case No 08 24 On December 2 2008 the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application of Mark Ambrosen and Ann Senn for a 3 7 hard surface coverage variance from the 25 maximum hard surface coverage to allow 1 038 square feet of hard surfaces at 3830 Maple Shores Drive located in the Single Family Residential District RSF on Lot 7 Block 1 Maple Ridge Addition The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed variance that was preceded by published and mailed notice The Planning Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak and now makes the following FINDINGS OF FACT 1 The property is currently zoned Single Family Residential RSF 2 The property is guided by the Land Use Plan for Residential Low Density 1 2 4 units per acre 3 The legal description of the property is Lot 7 Block 1 Maple Ridge Addition 4 The Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall not recommend and the City Council shall not grant a variance unless they find the following facts a That the literal enforcement of this chapter would cause an undue hardship Undue hardship means that the property cannot be put to reasonable use because of its size physical surroundings shape or topography Reasonable use includes a use made by a majority of comparable property within 500 feet of it The intent of this provision is not to allow a proliferation of variances but to recognize that there are pre existing standards in this neighborhood Variances that blend with these pre existing standards without departing downward from them meet this criteria Finding The literal enforcement of this chapter does not cause an undue hardship The applicant currently has reasonable use of the property including a single family home and a three car garage and a turnabout in the over l30 foot long drive The applicant showed the removal of 1 039 square feet of existing impervious surfaces including the removal of the turnabout 725 square feet in order to obtain a building permit to construct 848 square feet of home improvements on the site while maintaining 24 9 hard surface coverage This demonstrates that the applicant can achieve their goals of constructing the additions and comply with City Code Therefore the hard surface coverage variance request is a self created hardship 1 259 b The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable generally to other property within the same zoning classification Finding The conditions upon which this variance is based are applicable to all properties within the Single Family Residential District All properties within the RSF district are limited by the 25 maximum hard surface coverage In the past there has been erosion problems in the bluff located on the south side of the property Retaining walls have been constructed on the site to mitigate those erosion issues however increasing the hard surface coverage on the site will increase the runoff and may cause additional erosion issues c The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel ofland Finding The intent of the request is not based on the desire to increase the value of the home The property owner s intent is to increase the livable area ofthe home in addition to the existing hard surface coverage on the site The applicant has demonstrated that additions can be constructed and the site can be brought into compliance with the 25 maximum hard surface limitation as outlined in the City Code d The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self created hardship Finding The applicant has reasonable use of the property as a single family home and a three car garage are currently located on the site The applicant has demonstrated that 1 039 square feet of hard surface coverage can be removed to meet the 25 hard surface coverage limitation in the RSF district in order to construct 848 square feet of improvements As part of the building permit the applicant included removal of the turnabout in the driveway 725 square feet Prior to issuing a building permit for the improvements and processing the variance request staff advised the applicant of staffs interpretation and recommendation for the denial of the request This request is a self created hardship e The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located Finding The granting of a variance may be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located The increase in the amount of hard surface coverage on the site will increase the runoff from the site and may cause additional erosion which may run into Lake Minnewashta f The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood Finding The proposed home will not impair an adequate supply of light or air to the adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion ofthe public streets or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property values within the neighborhood 2 260 5 The planning report

Maple Shores Drive Maple Shores Drive is a street with an ascending elevation to Lake l vlinnewashta vhen it terminates at their property its e1e ation is at its llmximum The North to South elevation change of this property is over 46 feetI his dramatic change is fimher exacerbated by the slight change in grade for the first 70 f Cet abutting the lake Their property is also usually shaped a canted 1 with its narrowest border abutting Maple Shores Drive While the size of their lot would normally easily allow them to comply with the hardcover portion of the code these two factors i Shape of the Lot Because of its shape the buildable area is limited to the Eastern side of the lot requiring an extremely long driveway to access the home Driveways of this length create the need of a turnabout The combined hardcover of these two elements is 3143 sq ft 13 more thanlhe 2779 sq n f Jotprint of the home itself This disproportionate percentage of hardcover needing to be utilized for a driveway is a hardship 2 Topography Because of the dramatic change in grade on the South of their lot rvlark and Ann were faced with an erosion problem at the rear of their home Water had eroded the slope to within six feet oftheir foundation rhe solution vas to constmcl a series of retaining walls a paver patio and a system of drains installed along the entire rear elevation of their home This 723 sqft

neighborhood show that this I shaped lot and this length driveway is atypical to immediate vicinity The purpose of this request for variance is not based on a desire to increase the value or income potential of this land The owners simply want to use the property differently The granting of this variance would not he deh imental to the public welfare or il urious to other land or improvements in

Manager City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Blvd PO Box 147 Chanhassen MN 55317 Dear Todd On December 16th the County Board of Commissioners approved the 2009 County Budget which resulted in two cuts to the library budget for next year The first cut of 207 127 reduced the library collection budget by 38 conference training budget and eliminated a 14 hour staff position at the Chaska Library The second cut of 70 000 reduced 46 hours of staff time As a result of this second cut we needed to look at a reduction in library public service hours in all library branches The Chanhassen Library will not be part of a reduction in service hours for the first quarter of 2009 since an unpaid leave by a staff member will allow the library to continue providing evening hours and we had evening meeting room reservations to over 30 community groups On Monday April 6th the Chanhassen Library will have a 4 hour reduction in public service hours closing at 8 PM on Monday Thursday At this time we do not anticipate further hours reductions but as you know we must be prepared for an uncertain future If you have any questions please call or e mail me Cc Janet Kinney Chanhassen Branch Manager Steve
