City Council Meeting - December 13, 2004
would concur with my fellow council members. To Mr. Klingelhutz and Ms. Clayton's point,
affordable housing is an issue. It's something that we're working on and we will continue to
work on and whatever tools we have at our control, we will consider and look at. My
observation of affordable housing is there is no silver bullet. There is no program, no option, no
solution that works perfectly 100 percent of the time. You have to take the options that you have
and the tools you have and apply them where you can to get it done and it's an opportunity in a
case by case basis so we'll continue to look for those. Any other comments? Discussion points?
If not, is there amotion?
Councilman Labatt: I move that we adopt the attached ordinance amending Chapter 4 of the
Chanhassen City Code.

ordinance amending Chapter 4 of the Chanhassen City Code. All voted in favor and the
motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to O.
PUBLIC HEARING: APPROVE TERMINATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR A 190 FOOT COMMERCIAL RADIO TOWER. 100 FLYING CLOUD DRIVE.
BEA TRICE ZWIERS ( MOON VALLEY).
Kate Aanenson: Thank you. The site located just north on Flying Cloud Drive, recently you've
seen that. The Moon Valley site which you recently approved a subdivision. The property has
requested a termination of a tower, 190 foot tower. The public hearing is to address the fact that
the City may revoke the permit for any of the following circumstances. Material changes or
condition of a neighborhood where the use is, and certainly that has changed. On May 10th the
City Council approved a comprehensive plan amendment and you also rezoned the property
from A2 and actually the subdivision streets are in. They'll be pulling permits on that shortly so
really this is to clean up the title. The tower is down and this is to clean up the title on the
property that the cell tower has been removed. So the staff is recommending approval of the
termination of the conditional use permit and I'd be happy to answer any questions that you
have.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Questions for staff. This was actually initiated by the property
owner, is that correct? I'm sorry.
Kate Aanenson: There is a representative here too.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Any issues you'd like to direct to the council then as representative?
Yep, okay. This is a public hearing.

Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Is there a second?
Councilman Ayotte: Second.
Mayor Furlong: Now they're jumping in. All those in favor, any discussion on the motion?
Councilman Labatt: Give that second to Ayotte since this is his last meeting.
Todd Gerhardt: Okay, he's got it.

8 foot by 16 foot building on the property described in the attached Termination of

REOUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE CENTURY PLAZA RETAIL CENTER
PUD TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD CONVENIENCE USES.
NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF CENTURY BOULEVARD AND WEST 78TH
STREET. ARBORETUM EXCHANGE. LLC.
Kate Aanenson: Thank you. The subject site is located on Century Boulevard, a commercial
center. This is zoned PUD. It is a neighborhood business district. The applicant is requesting to
amend that pUD to allow a broader range of uses. This item did appear before the Planning
Commission on October 19th. There was some ambiguity in the motion as they presented it.
They recommended denial but for, but once you recommend denial then it's a denial so we kind
of rephrased the, refrained the motion to support when it appears before you to support what
really what the Planning Commission wanted, and that was that they did approve a health club
use that met the criteria of 5,000 square feet. And that's really what kind of drive that
neighborhood business so you don't have one single user. That they be limited in 5,000 square
feet and they'd really be those types of uses that meet the daily needs of the resident. So with
that the Planning Commission ultimately did support that but their motion did say denial. So the
City Council motion as we framed for the City Council that they approve the PUD amendment
only to include physical exercise clubs up to 5,000 square feet. Again the applicant wanted a
much broader use of the district, so with that I'd be happy to answer any questions that you'd
have.
