PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting site plan approval for the construction of an 8,068 square foot building
housing a school. The site, with an area of 1.25 acres, is located at the southeast intersection of
West 78th Street and Great Plains Boulevard. Access to the site is gained via a full curb cut off of
Great Plains Boulevard. The site is zoned Central Business District. This zoning district permits the
broadest range of uses. There are cross access and parking agreements with neighboring properties
(Remax, Village Hall, and Homestead Church). A school of this type generates traffic and parking
demand in off-set hours which complements surrounding uses. Staff believes this is a good use for
the site.
The building is well designed. The main exterior material is brick. Accents are provided through
the use of fiber cement siding, columns, recessed walls, windows, and a pronounced canopy at
the entrance of the building.
Parking for vehicles is mainly located south of the building and is hidden from views from West
78th Street.
Staff has been working with the applicant for several months. They have been very cooperative
and have implemented staff's recommendations into the plans. Topics of discussion included
parking, materials, design standards, standards associated with this specific development, and
protecting the historic integrity of the old St. Hubert Church and old Village Hall to the east.
A pedestrian trail runs along the north and west sides of the site. Sidewalks are introduced to
this site and connect with the existing sidewalk system on neighboring properties and onto the
City's trail system. The current hard surface coverage is 62.2%. The CBD District does not
have a limit on hard surface coverage.
One trash enclosure is shown for the building, located within the central island in the parking lot.
The enclosure is proposed to be built of materials matching the building.
Staff regards the project as a well designed development. The overall design is sensitive to the
historic image of the area. Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending approval of the site
plan with conditions outlined in the staff report.
GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE
The proposed office building, with an area of 8,068 square feet, will be situated east of Great
Plains Boulevard and south of West 78th Street. The site is bordered by Historic St. Hubert
Church to the east, Great Plains Boulevard to the west, and West 78th Street to the north. The
surrounding property is zoned Office Institutional. Access to the building is proposed via a full
curb cut off of Great Plains Boulevard. Parking is proposed along the south portion of the
building.
The site falls within the most historic areas of the City of Chanhassen. With this in mind, the
applicant designed a building that is respectful of the area. The main material on the building is
The Goddard School
Planning Case No.04-32
October 5, 2004
Page 3
red brick, (reflective of the church building), and white fiber cement siding projections
(reflective of Village Hall). Windows are found on all four sides of the building. An arched
brick design will be used above each window. The design of the building is attractive, provides
variation and detail on the facade of the building.
The height of the building is respectful of the church. The applicant provided a 3-D model as
well as renderings that show that the church will maintain its current presence on West 78th
Street.
The roof of the building contains dormers to break it up and give it some interest. The site plan
shows the trash enclosure location along the northerly edge of the parking lot island. The
ordinance requires dumpsters to be screened by a wing-wall and doors with siding and trim to
match the building. The main material on the exterior of the structure will be brick to match the
existing building.
Rooftop equipment and mechanical equipment are not shown on the plans. All equipment must
be screened from views. The applicant has explained to staff that roof top equipment will be
screened by the roof.
There are no minimum setbacks in the Central Business District.
ARCHITECTURAL COMPLIANCE
Size. Portion and Placement
Entries: The building has a pronounced entrance.
Articulation: The building incorporates adequate detail and has been designed very tastefully.
The architectural style is unique to the building but will fit in with the surrounding area. The
building will provide a variation in style through the use of brick, fiber cement board, glass, and
canopies. The building utilizes exterior materials that are durable and of high quality. Samples
of the materials as well as a rendering will be available at the meeting.
Signs: All signage must meet ordinance requirements. A detailed sign plan which includes the
lighting method will also be required. Individual channeled letters with the option of back
lighting are permitted.
Material and detail
High quality materials - accent material may occupy up to 15 percent of the buildings façade.
The building will utilize brick as the main material. Fiber cement board panel is an accent
material although it is permitted as a main building material.
Color
The colors chosen for the building are earth tones. The selection is unique but blends in with the
surrounding buildings.

Hei2ht and Roof Desi2n
The building falls within the most historic area of the City of Chanhassen. The height of the
building will not block views of the church. Although there are no height limitations in this area,
the applicant has made an effort to be respectful of the surrounding area. The roofline is
staggered adding articulation to the design of the building. All roof top equipment must be
screened from views.
The ordinance requires a pitched element on buildings. This can be achieved through roof
design or awnings. The building complies with this requirement.
Facade Transparency
All facades viewed by the public contain more than 50 percent windows and/or doors.
Loadin2 Areas. Refuse Areas. etc.
The trash enclosure is located within the island in the parking lot. It will utilize the same
materials as the building. Recycling space and other solid waste collection space should be
contained within the same enclosure.
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 of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing
tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the
general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing 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;
The Goddard School
Planning Case No. 04-32
October 5, 2004
Page 5
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.
(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,
the zoning ordinance and the site plan review requirements. The site design is
compatible with the surrounding development. It is functional and harmonious with the
approved development for this area. Minor revisions are required and are outlined in the
conditions of approval.
WETLANDS
Upon review of the plans, it is concluded that there are no wetlands on this site.
GRADING/DRAINAGEÆROSION CONTROL
The plans propose to grade about 50% of the site for the new school building pad and part of the
existing parking lot. The proposed grading will prepare the site for a one-story building with a
finished floor elevation (FFE) of 971.5. The plans show the building draining towards the east
and west to proposed catch basins. In the event that these catch basins become clogged with
lawn debris, leaves, trash, etc., the storm drainage will pond up along both sides of the building
to an elevation just over two inches below the FFE of the building. To minimize this potential
flooding hazard, staff recommends that the plans be revised to provide a minimum of 1.5 feet of
elevation difference between the FFE of the building and the emergency overflow elevations of
the side yard areas. The parking lot and building drainage is proposed to be conveyed via a new
storm sewer line to the south connecting with an existing storm manhole at the parking access off
Great Plains Boulevard. The plan proposes a retaining wall around all sides of the building
except part of the south side. A 4-foot safety fence must be included on top of the wall where
adjacent to a pedestrian walkway. The applicant should be aware that any retaining wall over 4-
feet in height must be designed by a Structural Engineer registered in the State of Minnesota.
Also, it will require a building permit from the Building Department.
The Goddard School
Planning Case No.04-32
October 5, 2004
Page 6
The existing site is within the downtown drainage district. The existing downtown area has
storm sewer that has been previously sized for full development of the properties within the
drainage district. The downtown storm sewer all drains to existing ponds that treat the water. As
such, no additional ponding improvements are required as part of this development. Storm sewer
sizing calculations for a lO-year storm event must be submitted prior to building permit
approval.
Proposed erosion control consists of silt fence around the perimeter grading limits of the site. A
rock construction entrance will not be required but the applicant needs to keep the existing
access and parking lot clean on a daily basis. Also, tree protection fencing must be installed
around all trees in the construction zone that will remain.
UTILITIES
The plans propose on extending a new sewer service from an existing manhole on the west side
and water from the existing watermain along the east side of the parcel. Overall, the utility
layout looks fine. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require permits and
inspections through the City's Building Department.
According to the City's Finance Department records, the underlying parcel was previously
assessed for sanitary sewer and water. However, sanitary sewer and water hookup charges will
still be applicable for the new building. The 2004 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 for sanitary
sewer and $2,814 for watermain. Sanitary sewer and watermain hookup fees may be specially
assessed against the parcel at the time of building permit issuance. All of these charges are based
on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met Council.
Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies will have to be obtained, including but not
limited to the MPCA and Watershed District.
STREETS AND PARKING LOT
The plans propose on utilizing the existing southerly access off of Great Plains Boulevard and
the existing parking lot. The minimum drive aisle width permitted by ordinance in an office
district is 26-feet. The plans show 24-foot wide drive aisles. These drive aisles are fine with the
Engineering Department since the applicant is utilizing the existing parking lot. There is already
an existing cross-access agreement between the parcels that utilize the existing Great Plains
Boulevard.
PARKING TABULATIONS
The city's parking ordinance requires:
. 1 parking space per classroom. This translates to 9 spaces. Staff believes this ratio is too low
based on the usage and based on this usage would recommend a ratio of 1 space per six
students. The maximum occupancy of the building is 134 students. This will result in a
The Goddard School
Planning Case No. 04-32
October 5. 2004
Page 7
requirement of 23 parking spaces. The site contains 51 parking spaces.
LANDSCAPING
Minimum requirements for landscaping include 1,796 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the
parking lot, 7 trees for the parking lot, and bufferyard plantings along West 78th Street, Great
Plains Boulevard and the east property line. The applicant's proposed as compared to the
requirements for landscape area and parking lot trees is shown in the following table.
Required Proposed

Bufferyard C - 260' 13 understory trees 1 understory trees
21 shrubs >21 shrubs
The site is quite limited in its landscape area. There is existing vegetation along all property
lines which lends the site an attractive, mature buffer. The applicant is retaining some of the
existing landscaping in and around the parking lot including the shrubs along Great Plains
Boulevard and the east property line. This preservation helps to satisfy the screening
requirements for the parking lot. Two existing red oaks, three Austrian pines, and two Colorado
blue spruce, each in fair to good condition, are within the grading limits and being removed. The
applicant is proposing four red maples as replacements. Along the north property line, there is
little space between the fence and the public sidewalk. The applicant is proposing a line of
perennials running the length of the site. These are appropriate since plantings any larger in size
would not do well in such a limited space. The applicant will be planting additional evergreen
shrubs on the public property at the northwest corner. These shrubs will be understory plantings
for the existing pines and crabapples and will help screen the utility boxes located at the
intersection. The applicant will have to field locate the plantings in order to maintain adequate
access to the boxes. Staff does not recommend adding additional landscaping to the bufferyard
areas since the activity might damage or destroy some of the existing vegetation.
All existing trees south of the grading limits within the parking lot shall be preserved. The
applicant is proposing the addition of a red maple in the southeastern corner of the site, however,
there is an existing hackberry in good condition in the same location. The applicant will need to
revise the landscape and re-Iocate the maple in the northern half of the site.

LIGHTING
The applicant submitted photometric calculations for the site. The majority of the light fixtures
are in existence today. The applicant is proposing to add light fixtures on the building. Only
shielded fixtures are allowed as required by ordinance. A detailed lighting plan shall be
submitted.
SIGNAGE
One ground low profile business sign is permitted per street frontage. The sign may not exceed 8
feet in height nor be larger than 64 square feet.
Also, one wall mounted sign per street frontage and above the main entrance of the building are
permitted. The sign shall comply with city ordinances.
The applicant must obtain a sign permit prior to erecting the signs on site. One stop sign must be
posted on the driveway at the exit point of the site. A detailed sign plan incorporating the
method of lighting, acceptable to staff shall be provided prior to requesting a building permit.

These reports are available by request. At the Planning Commission meeting, staff will give a verbal overview of
the report and a recommendation. The item will be opened for the public to speak about the proposal as a part ot
the hearing process. The Commission will close the public hearing and discuss the item and make a

Comments:
The proposed day care center in Heritage Square,is a terrible choice.At our card group last night we all asked
how that sight was even considered.A day care center does not fit the image of Heritage Square,ie the old church
and city hall.It is also about as unsafe a location in regards to traffic in which children will be transported to and
from the propoased center.There is really nothing really wrong with preserving green space ;maybe with a
1
couple benches.! realize green space does not generate taxable income for the city, however is that the guiding
factor for our city planning?
