REQUEST TO REPLA T OUTLOT B, BLUFF CREEK CORPORATE CENTER
INTO 26 LOTS AND 2 OUTLOTS AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF FIVE 3-UNIT AND TWO 5-UNIT OFFICE BUILDINGS
ON 13.43 ACRES; STONE CREEK TOWN OFFICES, EDEN TRACE
CORPORA TION.
Kate Aanenson: Thank you Mayor. As you indicated there's two action items before
you tonight. One is the replat of a subdivision, and the other is a site plan review. The
site is located just south of Highway 5, north of Coulter as part of the Bluff Creek
Corporate Center. Family of Christ Church sits kitty comer, and then you have Bluff
Creek Elementary. This site right here went to the Planning Commission as Advance
Fitness and you will be seeing that site shortly. It's bounded on either side by a creek.
Again the applicant is requesting the replat of 13 acres into 26 lots and 2 outlots and
they'll be subdivided into 25, if you can back out of that just a pinch. 25 corporate office
buildings. Individual buildings. This original PUD was put together with design
standards and a shared parking requirement that I'll discuss in a minute in 1998. It does
require, as we reviewed the Highway 5 standards have now been woven into the overall
design standards for the city and also the PUD standards for the site, which it does meet.
36
City Council Meeting - May 24, 2004
Material proposed for the project is fiber cement siding with simulated stone wainscoting
on the lower level of the buildings. On the lower portions here. Pitched roofs. Again the
staff believes with the visibility, which it has high visibility from Highway 5, that it's
very well conceived and works well. There's also no loading docks with this based on
the fact that it's really more kind of incubator, small businesses. Again it works really
well with high visibility from Highway 5. They are slab on grade buildings and they'll
be two stories high. Again it fits well within that corridor. One of the issues that came
up with this PUD was the fact that there was some shared parking. When we put the
PUD together for the church. Similar to what we did on Villages on the Pond. When you
have a higher use on certain times and the offices are lower peak. The applicant, Mr.
Undestad has worked with the church to provide some shared parking on those peak
hours and that's shown on this site plan here. One of the issues that the Planning
Commission had as this project moved forward was the trails shown on this purple side is
the perimeter trails. The Planning Commission asked for additional trail along this side.
There is an existing cul-de-sac. That cul-de-sac will be moved further to the north. The
planning staff originally felt that access could be achieved going along this sidewalk and
just walking down. The Planning Commission felt that this would probably be a good
addition. The applicant has agreed to do that. The other concern was the view from
Highway 5 and berming. Again the staff's position was that the landscaping will provide
adequate berming. A parking lot, which is what we tried to screen is the parking lot, not
necessarily buildings. Certainly there's visibility and there will be signage along those
fronts of the buildings so I didn't bring those to you. The applicant is prepared to come
back at final, which you would see in a few weeks. Those plans have been made, making
the parking, or the landscaping area along here approximately 7 feet. Now it's closer to
15 feet. Quite a bit additional landscaping so again that would provide the screening for
the cars, which was the intent of the design standards. Not necessarily buildings, and that
was a concern that the Planning Commission had so we believe that that's been
adequately addressed. In your staff report there are the conditions of approval. Again the
Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on May 4th and did recommend approval
of this application. There was a couple of, there's two motions again the preliminary plat
and the site plan. The Planning Commission originally thought that there may have been
some conditions missed, so I'd like to, if you want to turn to page 15 on the conditions of
approval. We did note that some of the conditions had been duplicated. So 13 and 14, so
if you want to re-number your conditions, there's actually only 15 conditions. The trash
containers have been moved already on the revised site plan. Again that was a concern of
where they're relocated, so with that, staff and the Planning Commission did recommend
approval and we believe it's a well conceived plan. I'd be happy to answer any questions
that you may have.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you and just for clarification. Staff is saying to, from page 15 to
remove conditions 13 and 14.
Kate Aanenson: That's correct.
Mayor Furlong: And renumber 15, 16 and 17. 13 through 15 appropriately.
37
City Council Meeting - May 24, 2004
Kate Aanenson: That's correct.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Questions for staff. Kate, sidewalks was an issue brought
up by the Planning Commission. Can you help clarify what the issue was.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah, that was the one on this one. On this plan right here. Staff had
felt that in order to get over to the street, if you were at maybe parking, shared parking
with the church. A way to make that work and Mr. Undestad's already made that change.
Moving this handicap parking access so actually it provides a better walk through
between this parking, and going along this existing sidewalk and coming down onto the
cul-de-sac, if you were going to do the shared parking. The Planning Commission felt
it'd be better just to continue and have an additional trail along here. Both work. We're
always concerned about over duplicating. Just in the fact that it's a nice landscape area
too to create some of that buffer. . .
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you.
Councilman Labatt: Has that been maintained in the winter time by the property owner?
Kate Aanenson: I believe it's called a trail but it's actually a side.
Councilman Labatt: Pardon?
Kate Aanenson: It's going to be a sidewalk.
Councilman Labatt: So that will be maintained by the property?
Kate Aanenson: Correct. It wouldn't be a city trail.
Councilman Labatt: It will not be a city trail?
Kate Aanenson: No.
Councilman Labatt: Okay.
Kate Aanenson: There is a trail that goes up. This is this trail right here that goes, ties
into the Bluff Creek Elementary School site and goes underneath Highway 5. There
would be access that way.
Councilman Labatt: Okay.
Councilman Peterson: Kate I missed, did you say that there was going to be a berm?
Kate Aanenson: No, the Planning Commission was concerned about the way they left it
was to work with the staff and MnDot. You're close to the MnDot right-of-way to
38
City Council Meeting - May 24, 2004
provide screening. The way our ordinance reads is that the screening should be for
parking lot. It wasn't our intent to screen the building. It's a very nice building.
Councilman Peterson: Yeah, that was my point. Let's not cover up good architecture.
Kate Aanenson: Right, and staff concurs with that. What's been done, Mr. Undestad's
already made the changes to that and there's additional planting area that's wider and
additional trees. Quite a significant amount of trees and you'll see that when it comes
back for final plat. We just got those changes today so we believe that meets the intent
which is to screen the parked cars.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Any other questions for staff at this time? I see Mr. Undestad is
here, the applicant. Would you like to address the councilor? Here's your opportunity.
It's not a requirement but.
Councilman Peterson: He had a board. Bring your board with.
Mayor Furlong: You've got a nice board.
Mark Undestad: The board's kind of the same picture... Just a bigger picture. ...been
fun working on it and putting it together. It's getting a lot of interest from local
businesses. Who are ready to kind of move out of their basements and homes... 25 units
on there. I think by the time we get through our final plat it will probably be close to 50
percent full.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Any questions? No? Thank you. I'll bring it back to council for
comments. Discussion.
Councilman Labatt: This is one of these developers who always brings in a quality
project and I can remember last year or two years ago when I asked the same question
tonight is why this just isn't on the consent agenda. This is going to be a great addition to
Chan. Thanks Mark.
Councilman Peterson: Yeah I agree with Steve. I think the interesting thing, and I try
not to compliment Mark more than I should perhaps but I just like the idea that you guys
put together a plan that's unique to the city and unique to the area, and I think that as, do
more stuff out of the box because I think regardless of how nice a project looks, it's a
nice project but it's a unique project that's going to bring potential different kinds of
businesses to the city so that I think is worthy of bringing it off the consent agenda to
make that comment.
Councilman Lundquist: You would have pulled it off anyway, IS that what you're
saying?
Councilman Peterson: No I wouldn't.
39
City Council Meeting - May 24, 2004
Councilman Lundquist: I would have.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Councilman Lundquist: I would concur with the ones before too. As I was reading
through the packet I think it peaked my interest. Interesting and it fits really well with
what's going on there as well, especially right next to the church and everything too so
it's, I will be, I am excited to see it on here and it will be fun to see it come to life.
Mayor Furlong: So thank you. Councilman Ayotte.
Councilman Ayotte: Can't add to those comments. Thank you very much for all your
hard work. Appreciate it.
Mayor Furlong: Yep. As well. It's a neat product. It's going to benefit the city and we
appreciate that and all your work throughout the city and prior development. I concur
with other statements.
Councilman Ayotte: I wonder if this will pass.
Mayor Furlong: I don't know. We only need a simple majority, right. With that, the
motions begin on page 10. Since you know the page, go ahead.
Councilman Lundquist: I would move that the City Council approve preliminary plat for
Planning Case 04-15 for Stone Creek Town Offices shown on the plans received April
13, '04 subject to conditions 1 through 19.
Mayor Furlong: Why don't you do the second one at the same time.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CITY CODE AMENDMENTS; INCLUDING
SUMMARY ORDINANCES FOR PUBLICATION PURPOSES: CHAPTER 20,
ZONING.
Kate Aanenson: Again, as pointed out in your cover letter, the purpose of these code
amendments is to make it more user friendly. We provided in your report a summary of
the changes. The major changes. Again this is Chapter 20. The other one, minor one
that you'll be seeing 18. The Planning Commission did spend a lot of time going through
these changes. Asking us, challenging us. Looking at other cities. And how it works.
The problems and concerns. I can go through by section each of those but I guess I'll
leave it up to you and I think I'd like to start with maybe addressing some of the
questions that came up from the visitor presentation. The first one I believe was the
public hearing notification for lakeshore development. Again our ordinance supercedes
the state law requiring, you know the state law is 350 feet. We use 500 feet. When
you're on a lakeshore we certainly think it's important that we notify someone if there's a
conditional use or changes to the lakeshore. But we have applicants that are doing minor
modifications that have no impact to the lakeshore that have to notify 300-400 people on
a lake and we believe that's onerous when they're being charged per label. So we talked
to the Planning Commission about this. Certainly the people that spoke at visitor
presentation made this same appeal to the Planning Commission. And again, these aren't
developers. Certainly a development we would certainly would say would have an
impact on the change of character of the lake if they're adding additional homes. That
would be of significant impact and we would notify people but this is someone who's
doing an addition that may not increase the setback to the lake. May not increase the
impervious surface, so it's kind of a discernment decision to say you know really it's not
that big of an impact. You certainly, everyone within 500 feet would still get notified but
the Planning Commission concurred that they felt that notifying within 500 feet was
sufficient for those typically who, but something that would have an impact to the lake,
then we would notify everybody on the lake. Any questions on that?
