CHANHASSEN PLAN~
The development, which is proposed, is located on twenty-one, point seven
(21.7) acres located on highway # 5 at 1891 Arboretum Blvd~ west of Audubon Road.
The site has been shOwn as having four different uses, with the major project being
proposed asan athletic Club. The total site is comprised of a gross size of 949,172 sq.
fL,with net developed area of 312,000 sq. fl.
The access has a approved right-hand mm into the property. There is a private road
which provide a access plan for all users. The roadway continues to Coulter Boulevard.
The staging and development time table will be established upon approval being granted.
It would be our preference to be operational in the fall of 2005 for the health club. Some
of the additional users would prefer to be developed in the spring,2005.
Health Club The proposed health club would be located on ten acres of property. It
would offer 480 parking spaces. It would be a two-story building with a total floor area of
120,000 sq. ft. It would offer a 24-hour facility private health club concept with a total
range of services for individuals and families of all ages. There would be day-care
services, spa and caf6 food services. It would have a extensive cardiovascular, weight
resistance and running track located on the second floor of the facility. Other activities
are basketball, swimming and pre-teen supervised services. The group fitness and other
studio classes would appeal both men and women.
The membership would grow as the facility becomes accepted in the community. We
anticipate having over 3,000 members by the second year. This concept would strive to
take fitness to the next level of health features. We would like to promote a total
wellness concept to include nutritional guidance, exercise routine and a fitness program
designed with every member's personal plan in mind. There would be activities and
classes on a year round basis for all members.
Water Park We would like to explore a development of an open-air water park in
connection with the health club. We have shown the location of a 4.2-acre, which would
lend itself well to a public or private water park. It would be located along the creek and
have its own enterance and parking facilities.
Four commercial developments are planned along the Highway 5 frontage. The buildings
are sited near Highway 5 with parking in the rear,
Restaurams (:2)
Two sit dow~ restaurants are planned on the west side of the site. For the purpose of this
plan we have described one restaurant at I0,000 SF and one at 5,000 SF. It is intended
that both restaurants would be planned in such a way as to use the existing natural
environmem of the creek bed to t,he west as a visual amenity. The estimated floor area
ratio when the undevelopable creek bed area is include in the site plan is .07. The floor
area ratio for the 5,000 SF restaurant is .13.
Office / Bank
The Office / Bank would be located on the east side of the site directly adjacent to the
new Highway 5 curbcut. It is anticipated that the building would be a one or two
building of approximately 15,000 SF witkt a floor area ratio of. 19.
Hotel
A 70 to $0 unit hotel of 3 to 4 stories is located between the restaurants and Lhe office.
The facility would be planned to provSde hotel guests with Convenient access to
restaurants and other site amenities including the proposed water park. The floor area
ratio of the hotel is approximately .69.
