City Council approval requires a majority vote. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The developer is requesting Subdivision approval to create one lot and one outlot, Site Plan Review for a 19,909 square -foot, one-story specialty liquor store (Total Wine & More), and Planned Unit Development Amendment to the sign criteria. PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY The Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 7, 2015 to review the proposed development. The Planning Commission voted 6 — 0 recommending approval of the development as proposed subject to the conditions of the staff report. As part of the discussion, some issues were raised. These issues are as follows: Slaves The applicant is requesting approval to locate signs along all four building facades. Signs facing the east and south elevations are proposed to be 30 inches in height while signs facing west and north will be 42 inches. The smallest wall area is 3,359 square feet. The city code would permit a sign with an area not to exceed 5% of the total wall area which translates to 168 square feet with no restrictions on the size of the letters nor how high it can be located on a building wall. The dashed red line on the building elevations below reflect the 5% sign area.

A traffic analysis was completed by BRW, Inc. as part of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for Villages on the Ponds. The original development with its traffic analysis was approved by the City Council on August 12, 1996. The current proposal for Chanhassen Specialty Retail is expected to generate less traffic than what was approved by Council in 1996. The original proposal in the EAW for Villages on the Ponds expected three buildings on the site with a combined total of 36,300 square feet. Both the original and the current proposal would fall under Specialty Retail Category (LUC 814) in the ITE Trip Generation Manual 6' Ed. The current proposal would generate 44% fewer weekday trips and 45% less PM peak hour trips than the original proposal that the traffic study was based on. This site has already been approved for a larger traffic user than what is proposed for Chanhassen Specialty Retail. Adjusted to use 1'1'>✓ 'Trip Generation Manual 6' Ed.

I feel that there are several good reasons why the City Of Chanhassen should not allow a big box liquor store. The two (2) main reasons I feel this proposal should be denied are as follows: 1. Chanhassen currently has more than enough liquor stores. The City Of Chanhassen should show their support for these long time small business owners as they are a valuable asset for all of Chanhassen and an important part of the community. 2. It would be wrong to allow such a large big box liquor store to be located in such close proximity to the Saint Hubert's Church and School. This huge liquor store would be located very close to the church and contribute a lot of additional traffic in an already very congested area. In closing, I am respectfully asking for your support in denying the proposal for a Total Wine Liquor Store in Chanhassen. It might be appropriate for the city to place a moratorium on additional liquor stores in the city. Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to contact me at the above address and telephone number with any questions. Most cordially yours, BURDICK PROPERTIES. INC. BRAN H. BURDICK PRESIDENT BHB/su� !

CITY OF CHANHASSEN PROPOSED MOTION: PC DATE: July 7, 2015 CC DATE: July 27, 2015 •--�� REVIEW DEADLINE: August 4, 2015 CASE #: 2015-17 BY: SJ, AF, TH, TJ, ML, JM, JS "The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that City Council approve the preliminary plat for Villages on the Ponds 11th Addition; site plan for Chanhassen Specialty Retail, and Planned Unit Development Amendment to the sign criteria subject to the conditions of the staff report, and adopts the Findings of Fact and Recommendation." SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The developer is requesting preliminary plat approval to create one lot and one outlot (Villages on the Ponds 11`h Addition), and Site Plan Review for a 19,909 square -foot, one-story specialty liquor store (Total Wine & More), and Planned Unit Development Amendment to the sign criteria. Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within the required 500 feet. Staff is recommending approval of the request with conditions. LOCATION: Northwest Corner of Lake Drive and Main Street Outlot B, Villages on the Ponds 4' Addition (PID 25-8460030) APPLICANT: Venture Pass Partners, LLC Owner: Northcott Company 19620 Waterford Court 250 Lake Drive East Shorewood, MN 55331 Chanhassen, MN 55317 (612) 801-4313 (952) 294-5215 rrauwerdink(a)venturenass.net bschwenna,northeotthospitalitv.com PRESENT ZONING: Planned Unit Development (PUD) — Villages on the Ponds 2020 LAND USE PLAN: Mixed Use ACREAGE: 2.71 acres DENSITY: NA LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: The City's discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat is limited to whether or not the proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Ordinance. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. This is a quasi-judicial decision. The City's discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the proposed project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements. If it meets these standards, the City must then approve the site plan. This is a quasi-judicial decision. SCANNED Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 2 of 23 The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving amendments to PUDs because the City is acting in its legislative or policy-making capacity. A PUD amendment must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The site is located at the northwest corner of Lake Drive and Main Street, within Villages on the Ponds, a mixed-use development. The site was rough graded as part of the overall development. The property is located within Sector I of the Villages on the Ponds development (there are four sectors within the development which will be discussed in further detail later in the report). The following is a summary of the proposal: 1. Subdivision: Replat an outlot into one lot and one outlot to house a specialty retail building. 2. Site Plan: Construction of a 19,909 square -foot retail building (Total Wine & More). 3. Planned Unit Development Amendment: Changing the Signage Criteria to allow wall signs to be placed higher than 20 feet from floor elevation along the north and west building facades, and increase the height of the individual letters not to exceed 48 inches. Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 3 of 23 The primary parking for the project is located within the westerly portion of the site. Some on - street parking is also available along Lake Drive, Main Street and Pond Promenade, which are all private streets. Within Villages on the Ponds there are existing cross -access and cross -parking agreements that permit a portion of the parking to be located off site. Parking requirements in excess of those specifically provided on site are through shared parking. The building materials consist of rock face block, accent block and concrete utility brick. Black awnings are proposed over individual windows. An E.I.F.S. band is incorporated at the top of the walls and is used as a sign band. Staff has been working with the applicant for several months to improve the design and layout of the site and building. The applicant has implemented all staff's recommendations into the design. The product is attractive and will complement the design of surrounding buildings. The proposed development is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the project's development design standards. Staff is recommending approval of the project subject to the conditions of this report. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Chapter 18, Subdivision Chapter 20, Article II, Division 6, Site Plan Chapter 20, Article XXIII, Division 7, Design Standards for Commercial, Industrial and Office - Institutional Development Villages on the Ponds Development Design Standards Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 4 of 23 On September 23, 1996, the City Council approved PUD 95-2, Villages on the Ponds, including a Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment from Office/Industrial, Institutional, Residential Medium Density, Residential Low Density to Mixed Use -Commercial, High Density Residential, Institutional and Office; Preliminary Planned Unit Development for up to 291,000 square feet of commercial/office buildings, 100,000 square feet of institutional buildings, and 322 dwelling units; Rezoning from IOP and RSF to PUD, Planned Unit Development (final reading); and final plat dated "Received September 19, 1996" for two lots and ten outlets and public right-of-way. On June 28, 1999, the City Council approved PUD 95-2 granting Final Plat approval for Villages on the Ponds Fourth Addition, creating one lot and two outlets. The lot is for the Peddler Cyclery, a.k.a., Bokoo Bikes. On December 9, 2002 the Chanhassen City Council approved Site Plan #2002-9, plans prepared by Truman Howell Architects and Associates, Inc., dated October 18, 2002, for a 70,873 square - foot, three-story building consisting of street level commercial and upper level hotel rooms (not constructed); and A variance for the use of more than 15 percent EIFS on the building based upon the finding that it is consistent with other buildings approved in the area (void since not used); and A variance for signage in excess of 20 feet in height on the building based on the fact that it is consistent with the approval given to the Community Bank of Chanhassen building (void since not used). On October 27, 2014, the Chanhassen City Council approved the Preliminary and Final Plat for Villages on the Ponds I 11h Addition; Site Plan for Chanhassen Specialty Grocery with a Variance to the sign letter size on the north and west building elevations subject to the modified conditions of the Planning Commission staff report, and the Development Contract for Villages on the Ponds I Vh Addition. On February 9, 2015, the Chanhassen City Council approved the extension of the time to record the site plan agreement for Chanhassen Specialty Grocery and the final plat for Villages on the Ponds I Ph Addition to May 31, 2015. (Not constructed and plat not recorded). Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 5 of 23 SITE PLAN In order to provide a better understanding of the overall development, staff will first review the site plan component, which in turn leads to the Planned Unit Development Amendment and the Replat of the outlot. The building must comply with the Design Standards for Villages on the Ponds design criteria. The ordinance governing this site requires the development to have an attractive design and use durable materials. Site coverage may not exceed 70 percent. This is a Planned Unit Development and hard surface coverage can be averaged over the entire development including the permanent open space. When the city approved the initial development for Villages on the Ponds, it insured an open space that exceeds 30%. The actual open space exceeds 45%. The design of the building is attractive and is proposed to be constructed of high-quality materials that are complementary to surrounding buildings. They include rock face block, accent block and concrete utility brick. Black awnings are proposed over individual windows. An E.I.F.S. band is incorporated at the top of the walls and is used as a sign band. The architectural design of the building lends itself to place wall signage over the E.I.F.S. band shown in the elevations below. Staff is recommending approval of a PUD amendment to allow the requested signage if it meets the architectural integrity of the overall development. Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 6 of 23 All elevations can be viewed by the public on all four sides. Staff commends the applicant on the level of detail that has been introduced to the building through the use of spandrel windows, different building materials, a green wall along the east elevation, projecting entrance and articulation along the roof line. The loading dock is buffered from views by landscaping. The majority of the parking is located along the western portion of the site. Sidewalks are extended between the subject site and the surrounding area and separates pedestrian from vehicular traffic. The trash enclosure for the building is located along the southeast corner of the building and is proposed to utilize the same materials as the building. The added landscaping and boulevard trees will provide a calming effect to a busy area. The building has a pronounced entrance, utilizes durable exterior materials, and exhibits articulation. There are no required setbacks from any of the private streets within this development. Staff regards the project as a well-designed development. The overall design is sensitive to the surrounding area. Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending approval of the site plan with conditions as outlined in the staff report. @ ACRMWLST RRSPIG W �3. M1(Nt'nfAST FPSaEC�IVC Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 7 of 23 LIGHTING/SIGNAGE The applicant has submitted a lighting plan and a photometrics plan has been prepared for the site. Light levels for site lighting shall be no more than one-half foot candle at the project perimeter property line. This does not apply to street lighting. All fixtures must be shielded. The proposed parking lot lights are a shoebox design which is permitted in this development. The light poles may not exceed 20 feet in height. The PUD standards encourage the use of lights on the building to minimize the number of parking lot lights. The applicant is proposing to use downcast shielded fixtures. Wall signage is proposed along four sides of the building which is permitted under the Planned Unit Development ordinance governing this development. However, there is a limit on the size of the individual letters and height of the wall sign. Staff will address this issue in detail under the PUD amendment section of the report. PARKING The ordinance requires one parking space per 200 square feet of retail building, which translates to 100 spaces for this application. The applicant is providing 84 spaces on site and 74 on -street parking spaces. The entire development was created based on a shared parking concept. An overall parking study noted that the cross -parking arrangement would provide sufficient parking to accommodate users throughout the development. The parking study and the Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) anticipated a greater density and intensity of use. It was anticipated that there would be a total of 291,000 square feet of office/commercial space, 100,000 square feet of institutional space, and 322 dwelling units in the overall development. Actual development resulted in the following: Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 8 of 23 Use Anticipated Actual Net Change Institutional 100,000 square feet 134,000 square feet -34,000 square feet Residential 322 units* 323 units** -1 unit Office/Commercial 291,000 square feet 198,500 square feet +92,500 square feet *Parking study assumed independent living apartment units requiring more parking **160 of the 323 units are senior -only apartments which required substantially less parking The overall Villages on the Ponds development provides ample parking and remains consistent with the approved plan. ARCHITECTURAL COMPLIANCE Size, Portion and Placement Entries: The building has pronounced entrances. Articulation: The buildings incorporate adequate detail and has been tastefully designed to complement the surrounding area. The architectural style is unique to the buildings but will fit in with the surrounding area. The building utilizes exterior materials that are durable and of high quality. Site Furnishing The applicant is providing bicycle racks in the northwest comer of the building and an eco -mesh green wall on the east side of the building. Material and Detail High quality materials are being used on the building. Color The colors chosen for the buildings are earth tones. The selection is unique, but blends in with the surrounding buildings. Height and Roof Design The building is a one-story building. The roofline is staggered and contains pitched elements which adds articulation to the design of the buildings. All rooftop equipment must be screened from views. Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 9 of 23 Facade Transparency All facades viewed by the public contain more than 50 percent windows and/or doors. Some walls are further broken by the use of landscaping. Loadim Areas, Refuse Areas, etc. The trash enclosure and loading dock are located along the southeast corner of the building. They will be screened by landscaping and a trash 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; 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 Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 10 of 23 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 design requirements, the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, the design standards, and the site plan review requirements. Staff is recommending approval of the request with conditions. The site design is compatible with the surrounding developments. It is functional and harmonious with the area. Staff regards the project as a reasonable use of the land. The overall design is sensitive to the city's image. Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending approval of the site plan with conditions outlined in the staff report. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT The current language pertaining to wall signage that address the subject building limits the height of the wall sign to 20 feet and the size of the individual letters to 30 inches. The proposed building as well as some of the other buildings that were approved before this one have received variances. When the applicant submitted the proposal for this request, they also requested a variance from this criteria. Staff evaluated the request and recommended a minor PUD amendment that would accommodate all users within this sector of the development to allow the same treatment. Approval of the building signage will be contingent When Villages on the Ponds was being studied, discussed and analyzed, it was divided into four sectors: • Sector I: Mixed use of commercial and residential • Sector II: Highway exposure • Sector III: Institutional • Sector IV: Residential Within Sector I, the ordinance limited the wall signage to be placed no higher than 20 feet above the ground elevation, and limited the height of the individual letters to 30 inches. Sector II permits the placement of wall signs to be extended above 20 feet. This was permitted because Sector II was viewed as a highway -oriented development as it is bordered by Highay 5 to the north and Highway 101 to the west. of the PUD amendment. VILLAGES ON THE PONDS Sectors Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 11 of 23 As staff began evaluating the subject site and how it fits into the sector scenario described above, it was concluded that the north and west elevations for buildings in Sector I fall under that same rule. Based on this conclusion, staff directed the applicant to apply for a Planned Unit Development amendment rather than a variance. The amendment is simple and will involve two sections of the Wall Signs Criteria, as shown below in bold type and highlighted in yellow: Wall Signs The location of letters and logos shall be restricted to the approved building sign bands, the tops of which shall not extend greater than 20 feet above the ground. In Sectors I and II, sign height may be increase based on the criteria that the signage is compatible with and complementary to the building architecture and design. The letters and logos shall be restricted to a maximum of 30 inches in height except along the north and west elevations for buildings within sectors I and H. These letters may be increased to 48 inches. All individual letters and logos comprising each sign shall be constructed of wood, metal, or translucent facing. 2. If illuminated, individual dimensional letters and logos comprising each sign maybe any of the following: a. Exposed neon/fiber optic, b. Open channel with exposed neon, c. Channel Letters with acrylic facing, d. Reverse channel letters (halo lighted), or e. Externally illuminated by separate lighting source. Tenant signage shall consist of store identification only. Copy is restricted to the tenant's proper name and major product or service offered. Corporate logos, emblems and similar identifying devices are permitted provided they are confined within the signage band and do not occupy more than 15% of the sign area unless the logo is the sign. 4. Within Sectors I and II, architecturally, building -integrated panel tenant/logo sign maybe permitted based on criteria that the signage is compatible with and complementary to the building design and architecture. Architectural elements specifically created to increase signage height are prohibited. 5. Backlit awnings are prohibited. Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 12 of 23 As stated earlier, this is a mior amendment and staff is recommending approval of the request.

Employees and visitors to the specialty retail store will have convenient access to these publicly -maintained park and recreation facilities. Lake Susan Park is 33 acres in size and features large playgrounds, basketball court, picnic shelter, tennis courts, archery range, public water access, fishing pier and a ball field. Ample off-street parking is available at the park. Rice Marsh Lake Neighborhood Park is four acres in size and features a playground, ball field, basketball court, volleyball court and a small picnic shelter. Off-street parking is available. No additional parkland acquisition is being recommended as a condition of this subdivision. Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 15 of 23 TRAILS The subject site has convenient access to the public trails along Great Plains Boulevard, the three- mile Rice Marsh Lake trail loop, and the lakeside trail route to Lake Susan Park. No additional trail construction is being recommended as a condition of this subdivision. STREETS AND ACCESS The site lies within the Villages on the Pond Planned Unit Development located south of Trunk Highway 5 between County Road 101 and Great Plains Boulevard. The streets within the Villages development — Pond Promenade, Lake Drive and Main Street — are privately owned and maintained. The site is on the northwest corner of Lake Drive and Main Street and will be accessed from the north and west via Pond Promenade. The developer proposes improvements along the private streets north and west of the site, specifically installation of 90 -degree parking stalls that will be paved and will have curb and gutter. The developer has submitted turning movement templates illustrating how tractor -trailer units will access the site from Lake Drive and back into the loading dock on the south side of the building. Public sanitary sewer and water main are within the streets surrounding the proposed development. A drainage and utility easement is proposed over these utilities. The developer proposes to wet tap a six-inch diameter water service to the existing water main and extend a sanitary sewer service from an existing sanitary sewer manhole northwest of the building on Lot 1. These service connections will be inspected by the Building Department in conjunction with the building/plumbing permit. GRADING AND DRAINAGE The site was mass graded when the surrounding area was developed. The original plans for the site included underground parking within the southern portion of proposed Lot 1. The underground parking was sub cut with the original site grading and has since filled with surface water runoff. The developer proposes to raise the grade of Lot 1, including filling the aforementioned sub -cut area. Porous pavement is proposed to be installed, draining to an underground system comprised of sand and a drain tile outlet that connects to the existing storm sewer system. This connection will be inspected by the Building Department in conjunction with the building/plumbing permit. Based on the proposed grading on the north side of site the grading plan may require some revisions in order to maintain drainage from the existing improvements to the north. The entire site drains to Rice Marsh Lake. The majority of the site reaches Rice Marsh Lake through a conveyance that follows the 101 corridor. A small portion of the site drains to the Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail - Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 16 of 23 wetland located along Highway 5 before heading south through the Hidden Valley neighborhood and then on to Rice Marsh Lake. Within the two largest drainage areas and overall drainage on the site the discharge rates are decreased under the developed conditions from existing conditions.

SITE GRADING: EROSION PREVENTION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL The proposed development will exceed one (1) acre of disturbance and will, therefore, be subject to the General Permit Authorization to Discharge Stormwater Associated with Construction Activity Under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination/State Disposal System (NPDES Construction Permit). The applicant has prepared a Surface Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and submitted to the city. This SWPPP must contain all required elements as listed in Parts III and IV of the permit. The City has a checklist of required elements that can be made available to the applicant's engineer. The PCA also has a checklist available on their website. It is known that dewatering must take place on the site. A dewatering plan shall be included as part of the SWPPP and submitted to the city for review. The pervious pavement must be protected at all times throughout construction. The SWPPP and erosion plan shall indicate how stabilization of tributary disturbed areas is to occur and that it must occur such that no sediment is introduced to the areas once they have been installed, but in no case any longer than 24 hours. Staff has firsthand knowledge that failure to stabilize these areas can result in an ineffective practice. Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 17 of 23 SITE CONSTRAINTS Wetland Protection There is no indication that any wetlands are present on the property. The existing pond was created incidentally when the area was excavated in anticipation of constructing an underground parking facility. Bluff Protection There are no bluffs or steep slopes on the site. Shoreland Management The property does not lie within any shoreland district. Floodplain Overlay This property does not lie with a floodplain. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT Article VII, Chapter 19 of City Code describes the required storm water management development standards. Section 19-141 states that "these development standards shall be reflected in plans prepared by developers and/or project proposers in the design and layout of site plans, subdivisions and water management features." This site lies within the boundaries of the Riley -Purgatory -Bluff Creek Watershed District and is subject to their stormwater management requirements. These requirements are similar to Minimal Impact Design Standards and have the same required removals of total phosphorus and total suspended solids as does Chanhassen's code. Further, they are similar to Chanhassen's requirements as stipulated in our MS4 permit. To meet these requirements, the applicant is proposing to install pervious pavement in the interior parking stalls as well as three structural devices. The proposed plan appears to meet the volume control, rate control and water quality standards requirements. The applicant will need to get the approval of the Riley -Purgatory -Bluff Creek Watershed District. The following table has been extracted from the stormwater management report and shows the anticipated removals based upon the BMPs installed.

The permit continues on to discuss minimum provisions to allow for inspection of and preservation of function of the facility as well as transfer of responsibilities in the event the facility is sold. The city has developed a maintenance agreement and this shall be revised accordingly, executed and recorded against the property. In addition, the developer or their representative shall develop an operations and maintenance manual which shall specify anticipated inspection and maintenance, as well as schedule, necessary in order to ensure there is not significant decreases in the practices' efficacies. This operations and maintenance manual shall be referenced in the maintenance agreement. Storm Water Utility Connection Charges Section 4-30 of city code sets out the fees associated with surface water management. A water quality and water quantity fee are collected with a subdivision. These fees are based on land use type and are intended to reflect the fact that more intense the development type, the greater the degradation of surface water. This fee will be applied to the new lot of record being created. It is calculated as shown in the table below: Planning Commission Chanhassen Specialty Retail — Planning Case 2015-17 July 7, 2015 Page 19 of 23 Per acre rate Size of new lot in acres Totals Water Quality $22,940.00 2.71 $62,236.22 Water Quantity $8,900.00 2.71 $24,145.70 Credit $11,470.00 2.77 acres treated ($31771.90) Total due at final plat 0 Overstory trees $54,610.02 LANDSCAPING Minimum requirements for landscaping at the proposed development include 3,436 square feet of landscaped area around the parking lot, landscape islands or peninsulas, and 13 trees for the parking lot.

On July 7, 2015, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application of Venture Pass Partners, LLC and Northcott Company for preliminary plat, Planned Unit Development Amendment and site plan approval for the construction of a 19,909 square -foot specialty retail building. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed subdivision 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, PUD. 2. The property is guided in the Land Use Plan as Mixed Use. 3. The legal description of the property is: Outlet B, Villages on the Ponds Fourth Addition. 4. The Subdivision Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider seven possible adverse affects of the proposed subdivision. The seven (7) affects and our findings regarding them are: a. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning ordinance and meets the standards of the Village on the Ponds Planned Unit Development; b. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable city, county and regional plans including but not limited to the city's comprehensive plan since the site is guided for mixed use development which includes commercial or multi -family residential; 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 since adequate infrastructure is available. 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. 5. Site Plan. In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: a) The proposed project 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; b) The proposed project is consistent with the Site Plan Review requirements of City Code; c) The proposed project 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 areas; d) The proposed project 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; e) The proposed project creates a functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special attention to the following: 1. 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; 2. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; 3. 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 4. 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. fl The proposed project 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. 6. The Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider six (6) possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment. The six (6) effects and our findings regarding them are: a) The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan. Finding: The site is guided mixed use (residential and neighborhood commercial). A retail building is a reasonable use in that location. b) The proposed use is or will be compatible with the present and future land uses of the area. Finding: The proposed use is and will be compatible with the present and future land uses of the area through the implementation of the design standards, landscaping, architecture, etc. c) The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance. Finding: The proposed use will conform with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance such as design standards, signage, durable materials, uses, etc. d) The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. Finding: The proposed use is intended to meet the daily needs of the area. It could potentially add convenience to the homeowners in the area. e) The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the city's service capacity. Finding: The site is located within the Municipal Urban Service Area. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the city's service capacity. f) Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property. Finding: Based upon traffic studies conducted by the applicant's traffic engineer, traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property. 6.

Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen City Code, the City's zoning ordinance, is hereby amended by amending the Villages on the Ponds Planned Unit Development Design Standards in its entirety as follows: VILLAGES ON THE PONDS DEVELOPMENT DESIGN STANDARDS a. Intent The purpose of this zone is to create a mixed use PUD consisting of commercial, institutional, office, and residential uses. The use of the PUD zone is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive proposal. All utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for development shall proceed through site plan review based on the development standards outlined below. The Central Business District regulations shall apply except as modified by this ordinance. b. Permitted Uses The permitted uses in this zone should be limited to uses as defined below or similar uses to those as listed in the Standard Industrial Classification. If there is a question as to the whether or not a use meets the definition, the Planning Director shall make that interpretation. No single retail user shall exceed 20,000 square feet on a single level of a building. A maximum of thirty- three (33) percent of the square footage of the retail users within the development may be of a "big box" category. The intent of this requirement is to provide a variety of users, including small retail shops, service providers, coffee shops, cabarets, etc., for residents of the Villages as well as the community as a whole, rather than typical suburban type large, individual users dominating the development and detracting from the "village" character. Retail users should be those that support and compliment the residential development located within the development, providing goods and services which enhance residents of the village and the community.

The following factors shall be used in calculating the reallocation of building square footages between uses: 1 Residential apartment unit = 3 congregate care (assisted living or dementia) unit. 1 Residential apartment unit = 2 elderly (independent) unit. 1 Residential apartment unit = 360 square feet of office/service. 1 Residential apartment unit = 90 square feet of retail. 1 Residential apartment unit = 440 square feet of institutional. 950 square feet of office/service = 1,000 square feet of institutional. 300 square feet of retail = 1,000 square feet of office/service. 290 square feet of retail = 1,000 square feet of institutional. (amended 11/26/01) In no instance shall addition institutional building square footage be reallocated without an amendment to the PUD. 6. Buildings adjacent to pedestrian sidewalks must have commercial/office on the majority of the street frontage. (amended 11/26/01) e. Building Materials and Design The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural standards and site design. The intent is to create a pedestrian friendly, "traditional" village character consistent with the European heritage of the upper midwest and the atmosphere within this development, yet with the amenities and technological tools of modern times. The village elevations shown on the PUD drawings are to be used only as a general guideline and the reflection of the overall village image including the north - midwestern architectural vocabulary, village like human scale and flavor, and variety in design and facade treatment. 2.

Street level windows shall be provided for a minimum of 50 percent of the ground level wall area. f. Site Landscaping and Screening All buffer landscaping, including boulevard landscaping, included in Phase I shall be installed when the grading of the phase is completed. This may well result in landscaping being required ahead of individual site plan approvals, but we believe the buffer yard and boulevard plantings, in particular, need to be established immediately. In addition, to adhere to the higher quality of development as spelled out in the PUD zone, all loading areas shall be screened. Each lot for development shall submit a separate landscaping plan as a part of the site plan review process. 2.

We are proposing to subdivide and plat this parcel into Lot 1 retail development consisting of a 19,909 sf specialty retail store, as well as Outlot A which will contain the Pond Promenade Road improvements. Sidewalk construction and improvements are proposed along the full perimeter extents of Pond Promenade Road and Main Street as part of the improvements, enhancing the pedestrian friendly character of the project. Benches and bike racks are also being incorporated to further promote the pedestrian character. Architecture and Design The 19,909 sf single story building will be detailed with a varied pallet of warm toned materials for the building exterior. Materials consist of pigmented rock face and burnished masonry, brick, EIFS cornices, standing seam metal roofing, aluminum windows, and fabric awnings. Accommodation for the 70% sloped roof coverage requirement is accomplished through the use of sloped metal roofing at portions of all four elevations and feature corner towers rising above the sloped areas to provide a visual break in the sloped areas. The main entrance on the west elevation projects out to form a covered area over the entry and also provides a sloped metal hip roof. Additional use of projecting fabric awnings and metal awnings and sculpted EIFS cornices provide increased relief within the building facade. The 50% building fenestration requirement is accomplished with an interplay of massing, color, and material detailing at each elevation. The use of large windows, sloped metal roofing, sculpted EIFS cornices, and fabric awnings provide a pedestrian scale and architectural detailing to each elevation. Windows at some locations, as governed by the Tenant's store layout, may be spandrel or translucent glass highlighted with awnings. The exterior of the building is further enhanced with an emphasis to natural plant materials using a green screen climbing landscape element at the east elevation (Main Street) and extensive use of plantings varied in height along the north, east, and south elevations. The outdoor trash storage and loading area is also screened by use of plant materials. Articulation of the south wall elevation is also accomplished with the natural building steps resulting from the receiving appendage and with the added layering and screening provided by the freestanding trash enclosure with an architectural trellis detail. Tenant signage will be integrally lit channel letters and will occur on all four building elevations as allowed by city ordinance, and will be compliant with all allowable area requirements. Stormwater Design One of the unique challenges of this project is meeting the stringent requirements of Riley -Purgatory Bluff -Creek Watershed District (RPBCWD), and specifically the standards which just became effective January 1, 2015. This is further complicated by the existence of primarily group type D soils that are pervasive across this site. Stormwater rate, water quality and abstraction requirements are being satisfied via the construction of an underground stormwater infiltration system. Extensive areas of the parking lot are to be surfaced with pervious pavers over a draintile and rock infiltration basin system. �Y OFCHANHASSEP RECEIVED JUN 1 ; nvf CHANHASSEN PLANNING OFP7 SCANNED elosauwW 'uaesequugO -1IH13» l ilVI03dS N3SSVHNVHO pp{{ z if n $ 2 C=) a G gF IU N qty 4 � 00 g 3p tae o za g UU ywZ� Li. z 171 axaa �7 u U Sy O p g€ sl @gri pU t 3wv4 8 s g a a �a 2 ag. �x oY a- - •9 �xm �i; €ea a ug � § a •x _ vF I� ys F— J Q U W Q z 2 U w< W J 0� 10 W Q Z 2 u W WOwo w>w cc a0= —1 Y Q '30 d 2 s z. h i gg W ���6x.�ddz$g.z�ee83a@�yv E�gg S$v�g���4o���3 �v'a §�34sE�e�Eeyy "e838tl�e000g��a"aa W Z Q V) -i -i z mWg i L -------------------------- Ell W. --------------------------- ------ I Oyu :7 ..........

As a neighboring property owner, we believe it is important for the promotion of success of the retail businesses located within the Village on the Ponds to have the strong support and positive traffic generation that this proposed retail use will bring to the area. This area has lagged behind many of the businesses located across Highway 5 and needs the support of sizable, strong retailers in order to generate sufficient traffic to support strong sales volumes. In addition, this project will finally complete the Village on the Ponds development which will result in a healthy and vibrant look, feel and shopping experience. Last, the quality of the proposed architecture is strong and consistent with the other properties in the area and once completed all common areas will finally be installed in a manner consistent with the original vision for the Village on the Ponds project. We support the proposed project and hope that the City of Chanhassen will do the same. Sincerely, Jay Scott President 12300 Singletree Lane Suite 200 Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Phone: 952.974.9200 Fax: 952.974.9300 www.solomonregroul).com AI-1aff, Sharmeen From: Ed Vigil <ekvigil@usinternet.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 01, 2015 11:24 AM To: AI-Jaff, Sharmeen Cc: Generous, Bob Subject: FW: TWM Hi Sharmeen, I will be traveling for the next 2 weeks and I will not be able to attend the meeting on Tuesday the 7th. However, wanted to send you an email regarding the approval process of TWM in front of my property on Village on the Ponds. To the members of the City Council, My name is Ed Vigil, I am the owner of Bokoo Bikes and Paddlesports located at 550 Lake Dr in Chanhassen. Our building is situated directly adjacent to the proposed location of the new Total Wine and More retail store. I have been waiting for 15 years for this land to be developed and a business to open. Making use of this valuable location has been a long time coming and it is important that all potential businesses are given serious consideration. The recent recession did not help the prospects of this land being developed. There has been very little interest in this parcel over the years but there have been a few deals that fell through. Many of our customers have commented that we have a very nice pond in front of us and have been shocked to learn that the'pond' is actually a hole that was dug in preparation for underground parking for Extended Stay Suites proposed to develop in 2001. The most recent activity was the fiasco of having another national retailer, Trader Joe's, abandon their plans to move to Chanhassen because of a clause within Lakewind's Co-op and the property owners agreement. We now have a golden opportunity for another nationally recognized retailer open up shop in our city. I would like to ask the City Council to do whatever is necessary to not lose this chance and welcome a retailer of TWM's caliber. Out of all the retailers I could imagine, this is a business with a very successful business model that will draw their customer base from outside Chanhassen because of competition generated by municipalities. Based upon the experiences of other cities, TWM will likely greatly increase consumer traffic for Chanhassen as a whole. Chanhassen is very fortunate to have been chosen as a site for expansion. I fully endorse the approval to welcome TWM to Village on the Ponds in Chanhassen. Respectfully, Ed Vigil AI-Jaff, Sharmeen Subject: FW: VOP Association, Architectural Review Committee's Comments for "Chanhassen Specialty Retail ", Outlot B, Village on the Ponds 4th Addition. From: Mika Milovancev fmailto:mmiloCalmagarch.com] Sent: Friday, June 26, 2015 1:15 PM To: Vernelle Clayton Subject: FW: VOP Association, Architectural Review Committee's Comments for "Chanhassen Specialty Retail ", Outlot B, Village on the Ponds 4th Addition. To: Village on the Ponds Association c/o Vernelle Clayton, the Manager of the Association. Re. VOP- Architectural Review Committee's Comments for: "Chanhassen Specialty Retail", Outlot B, VOP 4t^ Addition, Proposed Development Plans. Developer: Venture Pass Date issued: 6/26/2015 Dear Vernelle, It is our understanding that the proposed Chanhassen Specialty Retail will be a welcome addition both to the City, as well as for the business environment of the VOP community area. And that was always the goal for our Village: a wide range of uses that together create pedestrian oriented streets and a vibrant urban setting. Keeping that in mind, we look favorably at the proposed development, even though it is not providing the desirable mix of uses (retail, residential, office...) within this specific site area. Also, the VOP Guidelines called for the main entry to be facing the Main Street, at least for the assumed office or residential uses Guidelines envisioned on the upper floors. However, we recognize that in this case of a large, single level retail store, in order to be successful in operation, the main entry needs to be as close as possible to the parking area. Especially in case of very cold winters we have in our Minnesota. In regard to some other specifics: --- Sheet L4.0- Lighting Plan: The existing Main Street lights are neither referred to, nor reflected on the plan, but those are to remain as part of VOP's overall streetscape. Also consider: - replacing "modern", powerful Gardco wall lights along the Main Street with Longman fixtures. Gardco would interfere/"diminish" the existing traditional lights on the street, as opposed to softer Lingman lights that would blend better with the overall character of this street. - providing a special lighting effect (landscape up lights?)for the curved "green wall" facing the Main Street. --- Sheet L2.0- Landscape plan: -It calls for the existing 5 street trees to remain. This is of essence due to a very tight space between the building wall and the street sidewalk/parking, which allows only for a rather minimal new landscaping to be planted along the wall. -Also, aside of the two linden trees called for in the plan, there is not any other ground cover/landscape indicated at the NW corner of the parking lot; that needs to be corrected and properly landscaped and irrigated. --- Sheet A2.0 -Architectural Elevations: -Overall, and as well described in the "Project Summary Narrative" part of the submittal package to the City, the proposed building massing, "warm toned" fa4ade materials, colors and various articulations, provide for desired varieties and good integration within the existing VOP community. - However, in regard to faSade segments covered with the utility brick #2 at the East end North elevations, with their face flush with the adjacent wall areas, consider to change them to be either somewhat recessed, or projected out from the rest of the walls around them. That would give them a pronounced appearance and create more variety and interest on these elevations. - Specifically, at the Main Street, that wall segment could nicely follow the curved shape of the "green wall", thus breaking the monotony of the long and high flat building wall along the street. In absence of the building entry from the street, that, along with some possibly expended seating area there, would grant some interest and more of a "pedestrian oriented" feel to the street. In Conclusion: The above comments were based on our review of the set of preliminary plans (with a focus on architectural and landscape plans) as provided to us on 6/22/2015. We hope the above comments would help, along with further City's reviews and hearings, towards a successful completion and integration of this development into the VOP and City of Chanhassen urban core. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Thank you, Mika Milo, r. architect For VOP Association, Architectural Review Committee.

We generally found his comments to be very favorable, but did have some clarification or concern with some of the comments. We want to understand if any of this becomes a part of staff report or conditions, and if so we want to provide some input. Below is an initial response from our architect that addresses Mika's comments: L4.0: Lighting Plan Main Street lights will remain and are so noted on 1-1.0 (removed and reinstalled) • The lighting plan will need to be redone as there was not enough time to redo the plan per the 19,909 sf building revision • 1 have a call in to the lighting designer to see if/how changing to the Ligman fixture will alter the lighting levels • Uplights at the green wall are not allowed per my understanding as fixtures need to have a 90 degree cutoff L2.0: Landscape Plan • Sod/irrigatation noted for the NW corner but plants can be placed there instead if so desired A2.0: Architectural Elevations Brick #2 projects out 4" at East and North Elevations. Not in favor of projecting brick #2 out any further but we can at an added cost to footings and foundation. Corner brick #1 elements are already projecting out 8" to provide varying depths for fagade along with projecting canopies and varying roof lines. Curving the brick wall on the east elevation will add substantial cost for additional footings and foundation work, will come very close to Utility Easement (but technically not over), and will reduce depth of planting area. The green wall is curved for that specific reason to break up the length of the elevation without adding costs and reducing planting area.

Roettger, Julie Houlihans Restaurant 530 Pond Promenade Chanhassen, MN 55317 Sharmeen Al-Jaff Senior Planner City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Boulevard Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear City Planner, I have reviewed the request for amendment to Villages on the Ponds Planned Unit Development; Subdivision of approximately three acres into one lot and one outlot (Villages on the Ponds 11th Addition), and Site Plan Review to construct a 19,909 square -foot liquor store on property zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) and located on Outlot B, Villages on the Ponds 4th Addition and the development application. I do support this project because I believe the customer traffic generated by the proposed high volume retailer will benefit our business while not adding additional direct competition. I also believe the architecture and design are excellent and are cohesive to the high standards that have been achieved with previous building within the development.

We understand there is a possibility of a large retailer being located in a new building on that vacant land. We would be in support of the additional retailer being located there. Any retailer who can generate additional foot traffic and exposure to our businesses — as well as be an amenity for our guests — is a welcome addition to the area. We were looking at the Chanhassen Planning web site and feel the design and size of the building is complimentary to all of the neighbors. We fully support this recent development application.
