PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The developer is proposing to replat a 13.43 acre Outlot into 26 lots and 2 outlots. The lots are
intended to house 25 town offices. The applicant is also requesting site plan approval for the
construction of 5 three-unit and 2 five- unit office buildings.
These town offices are designed as walkouts as well as slab-on-grade units. The main materials on
these units is fiber cement siding. Simulated Stone Wainscot will be used along the lower portion
of the buildings. Each building will have defined entryways, columns, and designated wall sign
areas. All four sides of each building have been given equal attention to the level of detail. All
units are proposed to be occupied as office units which is consistent with the permitted uses within
this Planned Unit Development District. No loading docks are proposed with this development.
The applicant is proposing sidewalks to all units. Staff recommends a connection be added between
these sidewalks and the trail located west of the site. This can be accomplished by extending the
sidewalk located south of lot 11 southward to the trail. This connection should include pedestrian
ramps. Furthermore, staff is recommending the "accessible parking access aisle" area be shifted to
allow alignment with the sidewalk across the parking lot as shown in attachment 1.
To the north of the proposed building are Highway 5 and the Walnut Grove development.
Townhomes at Creekside is located south of Coulter Boulevard with the Family of Christ
Lutheran Church project southwest of the site. To the east of the site are the east tributary of
Bluff Creek and vacant office industrial land. To the west of the project is the Chanhassen
Recreation Center and Bluff Creek Elementary School. This site is highly visible from Highway
5.
The site slopes from a high point of elevation 960 in the north central portion of the site to a low
point of elevation 942 along the western property line adjacent to the storm water pond.
Transmission lines for NSP currently run along the west of the property. The site is accessed via
an extension of Stone Creek Drive.
Staff is recommending approval of the subdivision and site plan subject to the conditions of the staff
report.
BACKGROUND
On January 12, 1998, the City Council granted concept approval for PUD #97-2.
On April 27, 1998, the City Council granted preliminary approval for PUD #97-2, including the
first reading of the rezoning of the property from A2 to PUD and preliminary plat approval for
five lots, the Wetland Alteration Permit to fill the small wetland located in the northern portion
of the site and the Conditional Use Permit for grading and filling in the flood plain.
On June 22, 1998, the Chanhassen City Council granted final plat approval for Bluff Creek
Corporate Center PUD #97-2 and second reading for rezoning from A2 to PUD.

On April 26, 1999, the City Council approved Site Plan #99-2 for a 17,140 sq. ft. church facility
including assembly, classrooms and offices for Family of Christ Lutheran Church.
On June 28, 1999, the City Council approved PUD #97-2 granting Final Plat approval for Family of
Christ Lutheran Church Addition (which is part of the Bluff Creek Development).
On October 9,2000, the Chanhassen City Council approved a minor amendment to the Bluff
Creek Corporate Center PUD Development Design Standards to permit a 10-foot parking
setback from the TH 5 Right-of-Way (PUD #97-2) and site plan review approval for a one-story,
67,664 square foot office/showroom building (SPR #2000-11). The site plan has no legal
standing since it was never recorded. Also, as a condition of approval of the site plan, the
applicant was required to plat the underlying parcel (outlot C). The applicant never replatted the
outlot.
GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE
The development must comply with the Development Design Standards for Bluff Creek
Corporate Center (attached). A PUD is required to be developed to higher quality than other
projects.
The main building material consists of fiber cement siding. Simulated Stone Wainscot will be used
along the lower portion of the buildings. Each building will have defined entryways, columns, and
designated wall sign areas. All four sides of each building have been given equal attention. All
units are proposed to be occupied as office units which is consistent with the permitted uses within
this Planned Unit Development District. No loading docks are proposed with this development.
The architecture provides visual interest and meets the standards of the Bluff Creek Corporate
Center.

GRADING/DRAINAGEIEROSION CONTROL
The current plans show five buildings of three units and two buildings of five units with a total of
26 lots on Block 1 and two outlots. The applicant is proposing to grade all of Block 1 to prepare
the site for the parking lot and building pads. The future buildings on Block 1 are shown with
proposed pad elevations that vary from 944.50 to 964.50. A maximum slope of 3: 1 is allowed on
Stone Creek Town Offìces
Planning Case No. 04-15

the side slopes along the southeasterly corner of Lot 25 and along the northeast side of the
parking lot. The site has been designed so that storm water from the buildings will drain toward
each of the proposed catch basins. The parking lot storm drainage will be conveyed via storm
sewer to an existing stormwater regional pond at the southwesterly corner of the site for
treatment. This pond has been previously designed to accommodate drainage from the site. Prior
to final platting, storm sewer design data will need to be submitted for staff review. The storm
sewer will have to be designed for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event.
Staff recommends that type II silt fence be used adjacent to the stormwater pond and Bluff
Creek. A minimum 75-foot rock construction entrance must be added to the plans per City
Detail Plate No. 5301. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading will require an
easement from the appropriate property owner.
UTILITIES
Municipal sewer and water service are available to the site from the south side on Stone Creek
Drive. The applicant is proposing to connect to the existing water and sanitary sewer lines and
extend them to serve each of the lots. The 8-inch water and sewer mains will be considered
public utility lines since they serve multiple lots. As such, minimum 30-foot wide public
easements will be required over the portion of the public utility lines that are outside of the right-
of-way.
The site has previously been assessed for utility and street improvements. The remaining
assessment due payable to the City is $103,521.12. This assessment may be re-spread against
the newly platted lots on a per-area basis or paid at the time of final platting. Sanitary sewer and
water hookup charges will also be applicable for the new lots. The 2004 trunk hookup charge is
$1,458 per unit for sanitary sewer and $2,814 per unit for watermain. The hookup charges are
based on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met Council for the new lots. Sanitary sewer
and watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel at the time of building
permit issuance.
All of the public utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the
City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Upon completion of the utility
improvements, the public utilities will be turned over to the City for maintenance and ownership.
The applicant is required to enter into a development contract with the City and supply the
necessary financial security in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee
installation of the improvements and the conditions of final plat approval. The applicant must be
aware that public utility improvements will require a preconstruction meeting before building
permit issuance. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require permits and
inspections through the City's Building Department. Permits from the appropriate regulatory
agencies must be obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA, Department of Health, and
the Watershed District.

STREETS AND PARKING LOT
The applicant is proposing to remove the existing temporary cul-de-sac turnaround and construct
a new cul-de-sac at the end of Stone Creek Drive to serve Block 1 and Outlot A in the future.
City standards require this cul-de-sac to have a 48-foot radius with B-618 concrete curb and
gutter around the perimeter. The main drive aisle through the site is a private street since it
serves multiple lots. As such, the private street must be built to a 9-ton design, paved to a 26-
foot width, and contained within a 40-foot private easement. The developer will be required to
submit certification reports from a soil testing company which show that the private street was
built to these standards. The plans show a full access to the site from the cul-de-sac. It should be
noted that the drive aisle turning radii along the western side of the site will not allow the City's
aerial fire truck to drive through the site. This may necessitate the need for sprinkling of all
proposed buildings.
The parking ordinance for office buildings requires the following: Office buildings (administrative,
business or professional)--Buildings under forty-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine
(49,999) square feet, four and one-half (4.5) stalls per one thousand (1,000) square feet gross
floor area; buildin2s from fifty thousand (50.000) to ninety-nine thousand nine hundred
ninety-nine (99.999) square feet. four (4) stalls per one thousand 0.000) square feet 2ross
floor area~ and buildings over one hundred thousand (100,000) square feet, three and one-half
(3.5) stalls per one thousand (1,000) square feet gross floor. The applicant is proposing a total
area of 70,696 square feet of office space. The ordinance requires 283 parking stalls. The
applicant is proposing 294 spaces which exceed the minimum requirements of the ordinance.
The applicant is also showing an additional 11 proof of parking spaces should the need present
itself.
LANDSCAPING
Minimum requirements for landscaping include 9,082 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the
parking lot, 36 trees for the parking lot, and bufferyard plantings along all property lines. The
applicant's proposed as compared to the requirements for landscape area and parking lot trees is
shown in the following table.

Applicant does not meet minimum requirements for the buffer yards along any property lines.
Because of the proximity of the west property line to Bluff Creek, native planting will be
required in the bufferyard.
Staffrecommends that Norway maple be removed from the planting schedule and a more
suitable selection identified.
WATER RESOURCES
Wetlands
Three wetlands were identified as a part of the overall plans for Bluff Creek Corporate Center.
The first wetland was filled under a de minimis exemption (under 2,000 square feet) following
preliminary plan approval. The second is a replacement wetland that was constructed along
Bluff Creek by the City of Chanhassen. This wetland is just west of the Family of Christ
Lutheran Church property and is therefore not a part of this project. The third is on the east side
of the property and is not within the construction limits.
Bluff Creek
The proposed project is situated between the main branch of Bluff Creek to the west and a
tributary of Bluff Creek to the east. However, only Outlot B is within the primary or secondary
corridors of the Bluff Creek Overlay District. No alterations are proposed in this area.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP)
All exposed soil areas must have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover for the
exposed soil areas year round, according to the following table of slopes and time frames:
Type of Slope
Time
Steeper than 3: 1
1O:1to3:1
Flatter than 10: 1
7 days
14 days
21 days
(Maximum time an area can
remain open when the area
is not actively being worked.)
These areas include constructed storm water management pond side slopes, and any exposed soil
areas with a positive slope to a storm water conveyance system, such as a curb and gutter system,
storm sewer inlet, temporary or permanent drainage ditch or other natural or man made systems
that discharge to a surface water.
Stone Creek Town Offices
Planning Case No. 04-15
May-424, 2004
Page 7
Street cleaning of soil tracked onto public streets should include daily street scraping and street
sweeping as-needed.
Surface Water Management Fees
Water Quality Fees
Because of the impervious surface associated with this development, the water quality fees for this
proposed development are based on industrial development rates of $5,955 per acre. Based on the
proposed developed area of 5.56 acres, the water quality fees associated with this project are
$33,110.
Water Quantity Fees
The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average
citywide rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land acquisition,
proposed SWMP culverts, open channels, and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage.
Industrial developments have a connection charge of $5,604 per developable acre. This results in a
water quantity fee of approximately $31,158 for the proposed development.
At this time, the estimated total SWMP fee, due payable to the City at the time of final plat
recording, is $64,268.
Other Agencies
The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropIiate regulatory agencies (e.g.,
Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed DistIict, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources (for dewateIing)) and comply with their conditions of approval.
LIGHTING/SIGNAGE
The applicant has prepared a lighting plan for the proposed development. Lighting consist of 25
foot tall poles with either a single or double light high pressure sodium metal halide lighting in a
shoe-box type fixture. The proposed area lighting complies with city requirements. The
developer is also proposing wall mounted units. These lights must be directed downward so that
there is no glare directed off site.
The PUD permits freestanding monument signs. The sign is limited to a maximum of eighty (80)
square feet in sign display area and the height not to exceed eight (8) feet. The sign treatment is an
element of the architecture and thus should reflect the quality of the development. The applicant is
proposing a Limestone Slab, 5 feet in height, as an entry monument sign. The area of the sign is
less than 35 square feet. The sign is proposed to be located along the south portion of the site at
the entrance. It maintains a lO-foot setback from the property line which is consistent with city
code. The sign meets PUD requirements.
The PUD allows Wall signs as described in the city ordinance for industrial office park site. Wall
signage is shown above the entrance into each unit. A separate sign permit shall be required for
each sign.

FINDINGS OF FACT
AND RECOMMENDATION
IN RE: Application of Eden Trace Corp/Stone Creek Office Group LLC for Site Plan
Review - Planning Case No. 04-15
On May 4,2004, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly
scheduled meeting to consider the application of Eden Trace Corporation for a site plan
review for the property located east of Stone Creek Drive between Coulter Boulevard and
Highway 5. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed site
plan which 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 Planned Unit Development.
2. The property is guided by the Land Use Plan for Office/Industrial uses.
3. The legal description of the property is: Lots 1-26, Bluff Creek Corporate Center
2nd Addition.
4. Section 20-110:
(1) Is consistent 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) Is consistent with this division;
(3) Preserves 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 or developing areas;
(4) Creates 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) Creates a 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.
(6) Protects 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.
5. Sec. 18-39 (f) The Subdivision Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to
consider seven possible adverse effects of the proposed subdivision. The seven
(7) effects and our findings regarding them are:
a) The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning ordinance;
b) The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable city,
county and regional plans including but not limited to the city's
comprehensive plan;
c) The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to
topography, soils, vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation,
susceptibility to flooding, and storm water drainage are suitable for
the proposed development;
d) The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water
supply, storm drainage, sewage disposal, streets, erosion control and
all other improvements required by this chapter;
e) The proposed subdivision will not cause environmental damage;
f) The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record;
and
g) The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is
premature if any of the following exists:
1. Lack of adequate storm water drainage.
2. Lack of adequate roads.
3. Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems.
4. Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support
systems.
6. The staff report dated May 4,2004 for Planning Case #2004-15, prepared by
Sharmin AI-Jaff, et aI, is incorporated herein.
RECOMMENDA TION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the
site plan review.
