LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION -
NUKING:
Variance — The city's discretion in approving or denying a
Variance is limited to whether or not the proposed project
meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance.
The city has a relatively high level of discretion with a
variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation from
established standards. This is a quasi-judicial decision.

Wetland Alteration Perntit — The city's discretion in approving or denying a Wetland
Alteration Permit is limited to whether or not the proposal meets the standards outlined in the
Zoning Ordinance. If it meets these standards, the city must approve the wetland alteration
permit. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
The applicant is requesting a Wetland Alteration Permit under Chanhassen City Code, Chapter 20,
Article VI, Wetland Protection,. and approval of a wetland replacement plan under the MN Wetland
Conservation Act for the construction of a proposed driveway to access the property at 9641
Meadowlark Lane.
The applicant is also requesting a 70-foot shoreland setback variance from a tributary and a
wetland alteration permit to construct a driveway. The subject property is currently vacant, but
will be developed for a single-family home in the future. The applicant is requesting the
proposed variance and driveway alignment in order to avoid additional wetland impacts.

David Vogel, applicant and property owner, is requesting a wetland alteration permit for wetland
impacts as a result of a proposed driveway construction at 9641 Meadowlark Lane. Currently,
there are no structures present on the property. The intent of the proposed project would be to
provide an access to the property and allow the construction of a future residence. Currently the
only access is a mowed path that utilizes the neighboring property's existing driveway (See
Figure I below). The parcel was platted as a residential lot with Riley Lake Meadows and filed
as a lot of record in 1988.

The applicant is also requesting a variance from the required 100-foot minimum setback from the
tributary stream that flows from the south through the property to Lake Riley. This alignment
would avoid wetland impacts to Wetland Basin 3 (See Figure 3 below).
There are three wetland basins on site.
Wetland 3 is an isolated basin on the eastern
border of the property. A portion of Wetland
Basin 1 runs parallel to Meadowlark Lane,
making impacts to this wetland difficult to
avoid when providing access to the property.
Figure 3. Wetland Boundaries
City Code requires driveways serving unsewered lots to be setback 100 feet from the ordinary high
water level of tributary streams.
Section 20-484 (b) of City Code states:
"Roads, driveways, and parking areas shall meet structure setbacks and shall not be placed
within bluff and shore impact zones, when other reasonable and feasible placement alternatives
exist. If no alternatives exist, they may be placed within these areas, and shall be designed to
minimize adverse impacts. "
Given the location of the tributary stream, and the dimensions of the lot, providing access would be
extremely difficulty without encroaching into the required setback. The proposed project encroaches
70 feet into the required 100-foot tributary stream setback for unsewered lots.

The proposed 9641 Meadowlark Lane driveway project consists of the construction of a 12-foot
wide bituminous drive from Meadowlark Lane extending into the properly approximately 350 feet
Planning Commission

(See Figure 4 below). The project will provide access to the property and accommodate proposed
future construction of a single residence. This request is to address the driveway that will serve
this property. The applicant has not submitted any plans for a residence or potential future
location of the structure. Any future structures and plans for such must meet ordinance setback
requirements. There appears to be adequate buildable area on the site that will allow the property
owner to build a single-family home.
Figure 4. Proposed driveway alignment
Wetlands within the proposed project area were delineated in October of 2015 by Jacobson
Environmental Consulting. The delineations were reviewed on site by city staff in November of
2015, and the boundary was approved by the City of Chanhassen on November 20, 2015. The
delineation identified three wetland areas on site. The Interagency Water Resource Permit
Application for wetland replacement dated January 4, 2016, was received and noticed on January

5, 2016. The proposed project will result in permanent impacts to Wetland Basin 1, which is one
of three identified wetland basins identified on the property, shown in Figure 5 below. Welland
Basin I has been identified as a Type 3, wet meadow wetland. It runs parallel to the southern
edge of the property and extends north along the western side of the property, containing an
intermittent tributary stream that flows to Lake Riley.
Figure S. Proposed driveway alignment and resulting wetland impacts.
Planning Commission

Page 7 of 16
The proposed alignment and driveway construction shown above will result in .022 acres (957
square feet) of impact to Wetland Basin 1. The proposed .022 acres of wetland impacts resulting
from the project are to be mitigated for using wetland bank credits purchased by the applicant
from account #1392. This wetland bank is located in the same Bank Service Area (BSA 9) and
Major Watershed 33 as the proposed project. Therefore, the impacts are required to be mitigated
for at a 2:1 ratio, resulting in the purchase of .044 acres of wetland credit from bank #1392. This
is consistent with Chapter 8420.0522 of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) Rules.
The Wetland Conservation Act requires the applicant to list at least two alternatives to the
proposed project that would avoid or minimize impacts to wetlands or waters (one of which may
be "no build" or "do nothing").- The applicant then must list and explain why the option
described in the application was chosen over these alternatives. The following alternatives were
presented in the MN Interagency Water Resource Application submitted by the applicant:
No Build Alternative
The no build alternative is not considered to be a viable option because benefits such as
lot access are necessary in order to build a residence on the lot.
NgImpact AftgMgivLe
A no impact alternative does not exist in this case.
Alternate I
A minimum width driveway of 15 feet wide was used in this case. Steep slopes of 3:1
coming down from the driveway top were also employed to minimize fill impacts to the
extent possible. Fill impacts were 1248 square feet.
,Alternate 2
A minimum width driveway of 12 feet wide was used in this case. Steep slopes of 3:1
coming down from the driveway top were also employed to minimize fill impacts to the
extent possible. Fill impacts were 957 square feet.
The applicant has decided to propose Alternate scenario 2, instilling a driveway width of 12 feet
in this case in order to minimize impacts, as well as avoid impacts to Wetland Basin 3.
Impact Minimization and Avoidance
The Wetland Conservation Act requires that if avoidance is not an option, the unavoidable
impacts are minimized to the greatest extent practicable. Efforts have been made by the
applicant to minimize the proposed wetland impacts by reducing the width of the driveway,
choosing an alignment that avoids impacts to additional wetland basins as well as increasing
slope grades, to minimize impacts resulting from slopes.
City code requires that a driveway be a minimum width of 10 feet. The proposed alternative
shows a width of 12 feet. Therefore, impacts could reasonably be reduced. Additionally, the
proposed alternative shows the driveway intersecting the public road at an oblique angle thereby
Planning Commission
9641 Meadowlark Lane Variance and WAP — Planning Case 2016-04
February 16, 2016
Page 8 of 16
requiring that the wetland be transected at the same angle. This alignment creates a longer
crossing of the wetland and results in additional impacts that could be avoided. This alignment
also deviates from the requirements of Section 20-1122 of city code which states that "Within
right-of-way driveways should access city streets at 90 degrees."
These minimizations should be reviewed and discussed within the Interagency Water Resource
Application.
In order to achieve the proposed alignment and prevent impacts to Wetland Basin 3, the
applicant is requesting a variance to the I 00-foot shoreland setback requirement from the
tributary stream that flows through the property to Riley Lake.
Pursuant to Chanhassen City Code, Section 20-481 (a), structures shall be setback from the
ordinary high water level of tributary streams a minimum of 100 feet. As part of the proposed
driveway alignment, the applicant is requesting an encroachment of 70 feet into the required
I 00-foot setback to allow for the proposed alignment and avoid further wetland impacts (See
Figure 6 below).

Variances Granted within 500 Feet of the Property
The Riley Lake Meadows development does not have a very extensive history of receiving
variances. Staff reviewed city records to determine if any variances were granted within 500 feet
of the subject property and found one approved variance at 240 Eastwood Court. This property
was granted an 18.5-foot variance from the 30-foot bluff protection setback to construct a deck.
SHORELAND MANAGEMENT
With only the driveway construction proposed for the property, there should likely be little to no
increase in surface water runoff rates or volumes. It must be noted, however, that the prevention
of pollution of surface waters is only one of the reasons for the enactment of shoreland
management rules. Minnesota Rules Chapter 6120.3300, Subpart 1. defines the purpose as:
"to manage the effects of shoreland and water surface crowding, to prevent pollution of
surface and ground waters of the state, to provide ample space on lots for sewage
treatment systems, to minimize flood damages, to maintain property values, to maintain
historic values of significant historic sites, and to maintain natural characteristics of
shorelands and adjacent water areas, shoreland controls must regulate lot sizes, placement
of structures, and alterations of shoreland areas."
In this case, however, the applicant has clearly demonstrated a sensitivity in their placement and
design of the driveway to the unique nature of the property and has made an effort to reduce the
impact on surface water resources.
The applicant is responsible for obtaining any permits or approvals from the appropriate
regulatory agencies and compliance with their conditions of approval.
Variance Findings - Section 20-58 of the City Code provides the following criteria for the
granting of a variance:
a. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of this Chapter and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive
plan.
Finding: The construction of a I 0-foot wide driveway to access the property is a normal
use of a property in a residential district, which is in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of Chapter 20, Article X1. "RR" Rural Residential District. Providing adequate
driveway access is a standard accessory use for the property.
b. When there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. "Practical
difficulties," as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the
Planning Commission
9641 Meadowlark Lane Variance and WAP Planning Case 2016-04
February 16, 2016
Page 10 of 16
property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this
Chapter. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct
sunlight for solar energy systems.
Finding: The location of the tributary stream, as well as the location of the three
identified wetland basins on the lot, creates practical difficulties in providing access to
the lot. In order to avoid wetland impacts to an additional wetland basin on site, and
provide reasonable access to the lot and future residence, a shoreland setback variance
from the tributary is necessary.
c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone.
Finding: The purpose of the variance is not based on economic considerations alone.
The applicant would like to construct a single-family home on a lot of record in a
residential zoning district and is trying to provide adequate access.
d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner.
Finding: The location of both the tributary stream and wetland basins creates a unique
circumstance in constructing an adequate driveway to the lot. None of the water
resources were created by, nor was their location altered by, the landowner.
e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality (similar home
sizes).
Finding: The homes located on either side of the home are single-family residential
homes, and both have a bituminous driveway access, as do all homes in the
neighborhood. Granting the proposed variance request will not alter the essential
character of the locality or Riley Lake Meadows neighborhood, a rural residential district.
£ Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota
Statutes Section 216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harmony with this Chapter.
Finding: This does not apply to this request.
Wetland Alteration Permit Findings — Section 20-409 of the City Code provides that the Planning
Commission shall recommend a Wetland Alteration Permit and the Council shall issue such
Wetland Alteration Permit only if it finds that:
a. The proposed project will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,
comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city.
Finding: The proposed wetland impacts that will occur with the 9641 Meadowlark Lane
driveway construction have not been found to pose danger to public health, safety,
Planning Commission
9641 Meadowlark Lane Variance and WAP — Planning Case 2016-04

Page 11 of 16
comfort, convenience or general welfare. The goal of the proposed project is to minimize
impacts to the wetlands on -site and to provide access to the future residence.
b. The proposed project will be consistent with the objectives of the City's Comprehensive
Plan and the Zoning chapter of the City Code.
Finding: The proposal is consistent with the objectives of the City's Comprehensive
Plan and City Code. The proposed driveway construction is consistent with City zoning
for the neighborhood.
c. The proposed project will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so to be
compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity
and will not change the essential character of that area.
Finding: The appearance and character of the general vicinity will not change. The
applicant has made a reasonable effort to minimize impacts to wetlands by locating the
proposed driveway further to the west, and requesting a variance to avoid impacts to
Wetland 3. Currently, the proposed project is located within a Rural Residential (RR)
neighborhood, and the proposed project is consistent with the character and existing use
of the area.
d. The proposed project will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned
neighboring uses.
Finding: The surrounding uses, as well as the lot itself, are zoned for Rural Residential.
The wetland impacts proposed as a result of the project are not foreseen to cause hazards
or disturbance to existing or planned neighboring uses. The proposed project is
considered consistent with neighboring uses, as well as providing access to a residential
lot.
e. The proposed project will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services,
including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water
and sewer systems and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and
services provided by the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the
proposed use.
Finding: Any changes to drainage structures or additional drainage structures needed as
a result of the proposed wetland impacts will be designed and constructed by the
applicant's contracted consultant in compliance with City design standards. No further
public maintenance is required as a result of the proposed project. The proposed
driveway will be designed and constructed according to city standards.
f. The proposed project will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and
services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
Planning Commission
9641 Meadowlark Lane Variance and WAP — Planning Case 2016-04
February 16, 2016
Page 12 of 16
Finding: The proposed wetland impacts associated with driveway construction will not
create excessive need for public facilities and services.
g. The proposed project will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment
and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the
general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare,
odors, rodents, or trash.
Finding: The proposed wetland alterations are not expected to be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare.
h. The proposed project will have vehicular approaches to the property which do not create
traffic congestion or interfere with traffic or surrounding public thoroughfares.
Finding: The proposed wetland impacts will not create nor interfere with traffic and
surrounding public thoroughfares. When completed, the proposed driveway construction
will result in improved access for the landowner, and terminate the need to use the
neighboring property for access.
i. The proposed project will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of solar access,
natural, scenic or historic features of major significance.
Finding: The proposed wetland impacts associated with the project will have no impact
on solar access, natural, scenic or historic features of major significance.
j. The proposed project will be aesthetically compatible with the area.
Finding: The applicant has made a reasonable effort to minimize wetland impacts and
retain aesthetical compatibility within the area. In addition, the proposed driveway
project will complement the area.
k. The proposed project will not depreciate surrounding property values.
Finding: The proposed wetland impacts have been minimized while still allowing for
the driveway construction project to occur. Though impacts have not been minimized to
the greatest extent feasible, if the conditions of approval are adopted, this requirement
will be fulfilled. The proposed driveway construction will create a safer access and will
be an asset to the surrounding properties.
1. The proposed project will meet standards prescribed for certain uses as provided in the
City Code.
20-410 (b) When a permit is issued allowing wetland alteration, the following
standards shall be followed:
Planning Commission
9641 Meadowlark Lane Variance and WAP -- Planning Case 2016-04
February 16, 2016
Page 13of16
(1) The alteration will not have a net adverse effect on the ecological
and hydrological characteristics of remaining wetland.
Finding: The applicant must meet the included conditions for the
proposed wetland impacts in order to avoid an adverse effect on
the ecological and hydrological characteristics of remaining
wetland.
(2) It shall be located as to minimize the impact on vegetation.
Finding: Efforts have been made by the applicant to minimize the
impact on wetlands and vegetation through a variety of measures,
which included locating the driveway in a way to avoid further
impacts, as well as reducing the width of the driveway.
(3) It shall not adversely change water flow.
Finding: The applicant must meet the included conditions for the
proposed wetland impacts in order to avoid an adverse effect on
the hydraulic and hydrological characteristics of remaining
wetland. The preferred alignment indicates that a 12-inch culvert
will be placed under the driveway but that the culvert will be
placed perpendicular to the driveway rather than along the flow
path of the wetland. Hydraulically this is not desirable. The
culvert shall be placed such that it is aligned with the flow path of
the wetland. The plan must be consistent with section 19-154 of
Chanhassen City code.
(4) The size of the altered area shall be limited to the minimum
required for the proposed action.
Finding: The applicant has made a reasonable effort to limit the
proposed wetland impacts, however there are further steps that
could be taken to reduce impacts to the minimum amount required
in order to complete the project. These steps are included as a
condition of approval. During construction the contractor is
required to follow approved plans to limit alterations to the
minimum the project necessitates.
(5) The disposal of any excess material is prohibited within remaining
wetland areas.
Finding: The applicant and their contractor are prohibited from
disposing of excess material within remaining wetland areas as
well as any other activities which may negatively impact the
remaining wetland areas.
Planning Commission
9641 Meadowlark Lane Variance and WAP — Planning Case 2016-04
February 16, 2016
Page 14 of 16
(6) The disposal of any excess material shall include proper erosion
control and nutrient retention measures.
Finding: The applicant and their contractor must submit a
satisfactory erosion and sediment control plan, and comply with all
applicable sections of Chanhassen City Code, the City's Surface
Water Management Plan, and the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency.
(7) Alterations to any wetland area are prohibited during waterfowl
breeding season or fish spawning season, unless it is determined by
the city that the wetland is not used for waterfowl breeding or fish
spawning.
Finding: The applicant and their contractor are required to refrain
from any wetland altering activity during waterfowl breeding and
fish spawning season.
(8) Alterations to wetland areas shall be mitigated in accordance with
the requirements of this article if the activity results in a loss of
wetland area and/or function and value of the wetland.
Finding: The applicant has submitted a replacement plan as part
of the Interagency Water Resource Application for Wetland
Replacement which was received on January 5, 2016. The
applicant is proposing to replace the impacted area using wetland
bank credits. The required replacement ratio is 2:1. This is
consistent with Chapter 8420.0522. of the Wetland Conservation
Act (WCA) Rules, and City Code, Chapter 20, Article VI.
(9) Dedicated buffers in accordance with Sections 20-411.
Finding: The applicant must comply with the City's Wetland
Protection Ordinance.
In order to accommodate the proposed project, the plan proposes impacts to one wetland, totaling
.022 acres of permanent wetland impact. The applicant, David Vogel, is proposing to replace the
permanently impacted area resulting from the proposed driveway construction, using credits
from wetland bank #1392. This requires a 2:1 replacement ratio, which is consistent with
Chapter 8420.0522. of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) Rules.
The applicant must receive the City's approval of a wetland replacement plan prior to any
wetland impact occurring.

The applicant is requesting a Wetland Alteration Permit and approval of a wetland replacement
plan under the MN Wetland Conservation Act for the construction of a proposed driveway to
access the property at 9641 Meadowlark Lane. Although impacts could be further reduced, the
applicant has made significant efforts in reducing and avoiding impacts to wetlands on the
property.
The applicant is also requesting a variance to encroach 70 feet into the minimum setback
requirement of 100 feet from the tributary stream that runs through the property. The proposed
project is not allowed per City Code and requires a variance from the City; however, the
applicant's request to construct a driveway in order to access the property is a reasonable use of
the property. Furthermore, the applicant is requesting the proposed variance in order to avoid
additional wetland impacts.
It is unlikely that there will be any additional drainage runoff or pollution due to the approval of
the proposed driveway; however, there are multiple other reasons for the enactment of the
shoreland management rules. in this case, however, the applicant has chosen the proposed
driveway alignment in an effort to preserve and avoid impacts to the natural resources on the
property.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that City Council approve
Wetland Alteration Permit #2016-04 and authorize the Water Resources Coordinator to sign
the Interagency Water Resource Application, and adopt the attached Findings of Fact and
Recommendation; and that the Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and
Adjustments, approve a variance to encroach 70 feet into the required 100-foot shoreland
setback from a tributary stream, as shown in plans dated January 6, 2016 to construct a
driveway, and adopt the attached Findings of Fact and Decision, subject to the following
conditions:
1. Impacts must be minimized to the maximum practicable extent, or arguments and discussions
on alternatives and further minimization must be presented in the Interagency Water
Resource Application in order to fulfill the sequencing requirement, including narrowing the
driveway to 10 feet and presenting alternate alignments at the wetland crossing.
2. No driveway beyond what is required to access the site and get beyond the wetland shall be
approved until a site and/or building plan is provided and approved.
3. A letter from the Board of Soil and Water Resources stating that the credits have been
debited and applied towards this impact must be provided prior to any disturbance of the
wetland.

g. The proposed project will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment
and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the
general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare,
odors, rodents, or trash.
Finding: The proposed wetland alterations are not expected to be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare.
h. The proposed project will have vehicular approaches to the property which do not create
traffic congestion or interfere with traffic or surrounding public thoroughfares.
2
Finding: The proposed wetland impacts will not create nor interfere with traffic and
surrounding public thoroughfares. When completed, the proposed driveway construction
will result in improved access for the landowner, and terminate the need to use the
neighboring property for access.
i. The proposed project will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of solar access,
natural, scenic or historic features of major significance.
Finding: The proposed wetland impacts associated with the project will have no impact
on solar access, natural, scenic or historic features of major significance.
J. The proposed project will be aesthetically compatible with the area.
Finding: The applicant has made a reasonable effort to minimize wetland impacts and
retain aesthetical compatibility within the area. In addition, the proposed driveway
project will complement the area.
k. The proposed project will not depreciate surrounding property values.
Finding: The proposed wetland impacts have been minimized while still allowing for
the driveway construction project to occur. Though impacts have not been minimized to
the greatest extent feasible, if the conditions of approval are adopted, this requirement
will be fulfilled. The proposed driveway construction will create a safer access and will
be an asset to the surrounding properties.
1. The proposed project will meet standards prescribed for certain uses as provided in the
City Code.
20-410 (b) When a permit is issued allowing wetland alteration, the following
standards shall be followed:
(1) The alteration will not have a net adverse effect on the ecological
and hydrological characteristics of remaining wetland.
Finding: The applicant must meet the included conditions for the
proposed wetland impacts in order to avoid an adverse effect on
the ecological and hydrological characteristics of remaining
wetland.
(2) It shall be located as to minimize the impact on vegetation.
Finding: Efforts have been made by the applicant to minimize the
impact on wetlands and vegetation through a variety of measures,
which included locating the driveway in a way to avoid further
impacts, as well as reducing the width of the driveway.
(3) It shall not adversely change water flow.
3
Finding: The applicant must meet the included conditions for the
proposed wetland impacts in order to avoid an adverse effect on
the hydraulic and hydrological characteristics of remaining
wetland. The preferred alignment indicates that a 12 inch culvert
will be placed under the driveway but that the culvert will be
placed perpendicular to the driveway rather than along the flow
path of the wetland. Hydraulically this is not desirable. The
culvert shall be placed such that it is aligned with the flow path of
the wetland. The plan must be consistent with section 19-154 of
Chanhassen City code.
(4) The size of the altered area shall be limited to the minimum
required for the proposed action.
Finding: The applicant has made a reasonable effort to limit the
proposed wetland impacts, however there are further steps that
could be taken to reduce impacts to the minimum amount required
in order to complete the project. These steps are included as a
condition of approval. During construction the contractor is
required to follow approved plans to limit aiteratioiis to tiie
minirnum the project necessitates.
(5) The disposal of any excess material is prohibited within remaining
wetland areas.
Finding: The applicant and their contractor are prohibited from
disposing of excess material within remaining wetland areas as
well as any other activities which may negatively impact the
remaining wetland areas.
(6) The disposal of any excess material shall include proper erosion
control and nutrient retention measures.
Finding: The applicant and their contractor must submit a
satisfactory erosion and sediment control plan, and comply with all
applicable sections of Chanhassen City Code, the City's Surface
Water Management Plan, and the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency.
(7) Alterations to any wetland area are prohibited during waterfowl
breeding season or fish spawning season, unless it is determined by
the city that the wetland is not used for waterfowl breeding or fish
spawning.
Finding: The applicant and their contractor are required to refrain
from any wetland altering activity during waterfowl breeding and
fish spawning season.
11
(8) Alterations to wetland areas shall be mitigated in accordance with
the requirements of this article if the activity results in a loss of
wetland area and/or function and value of the wetland.
Finding: The applicant has submitted a replacement plan as part
of the Interagency Water Resource Application for Wetland
Replacement which was received on January 5, 2016. The
applicant is proposing to replace the impacted area using wetland
bank credits. The required replacement ratio is 2:1. This is
consistent with Chapter 8420.0522. of the Wetland Conservation
Act (WCA) Rules, and City Code, Chapter 20, Article VI.
(9) Dedicated buffers in accordance with Sections 20-411.
Finding: The applicant must comply with the City's Wetland
Protection Ordinance.
5. The planning report #2016-04, dated February 16, 2016, prepared by Krista Spreiter, et al, is
incorporated herein.
The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that City Council approve
Wetland Alteration Permit #2016-04 and authorize the Water Resources Coordinator to sign
the Interagency Water Resource Application, subject to conditions within the staff report.

FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
VARIANCE
Application of Gayle M. & Richard P. Vogel for a 70-foot shoreland setback variance from a
tributary to construct a driveway on property zoned Agricultural Estate (A2) Planning Case 2016-
04.
On February 16, 2016, the Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals
and Adjustments, met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application. The
Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed variance preceded by
published and mailed notice. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments makes the following:
1. The property is currently zoned Rural Residential District (RR).
2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Large Lot.
3. The legal description of the property is: Lot 7, Block 1, Riley Lake Meadows.
4. Variance Findings — Section 20-58 of the City Code provides the following criteria for the
granting of a variance:
a. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of this Chapter and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive
plan.
Finding: The construction of a I 0-foot wide driveway to access the property is a normal
use of a property in a residential district, which is in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of Chapter 20, Article XI. "RR" Rural Residential District. Providing adequate
driveway access is a standard accessory use for the property.
b. When there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. "Practical
difficulties," as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the
property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this
Chapter. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct
sunlight for solar energy systems.
Finding: The location of the tributary stream, as well as the location of the three
identified wetland basins on the lot, creates practical difficulties in providing access to
the lot. In order to avoid wetland impacts to an additional wetland basin on site, and
provide reasonable access to the lot and future residence, a shoreland setback variance
from the tributary is necessary.
c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone.
Finding: The purpose of the variance is not based on economic considerations alone.
The applicant would like to construct a single-family home on a lot of record in a
residential zoning district and is trying to provide adequate access.
d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner.
Finding: The location of both the tributary stream and wetland basins creates a unique
circumstance in constructing an adequate driveway to the lot. None of the water
resources were created by, nor was their location altered by, the landowner.
e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality (similar home
sizes).
Finding: The homes located on either side of the home are single-family residential
homes, and both have a bituminous driveway access, as do all homes in the
neighborhood. Granting the proposed variance request will not alter the essential
character of the locality or Riley Lake Meadows neighborhood, a rural residential district.
f. Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota
Statutes Section 216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harmony with this Chapter.
Finding: This does not apply to this request.
5. The planning report #2016-04, dated February 16, 2016, prepared by Krista Spreiter, et al, is
incorporated herein.
DECISION
The Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments,
approves a variance to encroach 70 feet into the required 100-foot shoreland setback from a
tributary stream, as shown in plans dated January 6, 2016 to construct a driveway, subject to the
conditions of the staff report.
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 16t' day of February, 2016.

This project proposed by David Vogel is for a construction of a driveway in order to access his lot frorn
Meadowlark Lane. The driveway will be a minimum width of 12' of bituminous on the top with a 3:11'ill
slope on the sides. A 12" culvert will be placed in the center of the crossing in order to facilitate water
flow in the wetland. The location of the crossing is at a point which will be 5' away from a wetland on
the east and at least 35' away from an intermittent ditch which occasionally carries water to Riley Lake.
The Figure 7 plan which reflects required avoidance and minimization reflects 0.022 acres of perrnane-nt
fill impacts to low quality (as measured by MNRAM) reed canary grass dominated wetlands, and
replacement by high quality 0.044 acre wetland bank credits. A wetland bank purchase of 0.044 SWC
acres from bank service area 9 within watershed 33 would be completed from the Minnesota Wetland
Bank to fulfill the mitigation requirements.

.•• r
The purpose of the project is to provide driveway access to the lot for home construction from
Meadowlark Lane. Currently the lot has no access available to it because the entire south portion of the
lot has a wetland separating Meadowlark Lane and the lot. The wetland crossing is necessary in order to
provide access.
0 ,
No build alternative
The no build alternative is not considered to be a viable option because benefits such as lot access are
necessary in order to build a residence on the lot.
No Impact alternative
A no impact alternative does not exist in this case.
Alternate 1— Figure 6
A minimum width driveway of 15' wide was used in this case. Steep slopes of 3:1 coming down from the

Project Description: Wetland Delineation Report
Dear David:
As discussed, Jacobson Environmental, FLLC. (JE) visited the above referenced site l:o perform an
official wetland delineation in accordance with the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual and the 2010 Regional Supp+ement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delireatior'.
Midwest Region.
Adjacent site land use includes residential lots, wetlands, woodlands, Lake Riley, and roadways on all
sides. This parcel is a combination of a woodland, and three wetlands at 96,41 Meadowlark Lane in
Chanhassen, Minnesota. Figure 5 is a Wetland Delineation Map of the property. Figure 1 is a site
location map of the property. All figures referenced by this report are presented at the end of the text.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the project area, identfy areas meeting the technical criteria
for wetlands, delineate the juriseictional extent of the wetland basins and classify the wetland habitat.

The growing season for this site is approximately from 4/15 to 10/15 where the air ternperature averages
above 28 degrees F, The growing season in 2015 started in April, This site is in the big woods
subsection ecoregion according to Minnesota DNR and the annua` precipitation averages 30.93 inches.
The presettlement vegetation was maple -basswood forest in this area.
The precipitation for the previous three months along with the comparison of the 10?6,'l5 precipitation

The delineation was performed on October 6, 2015 and it is unlikely the pre ;ipitation totals in this pericd
affected the boundary of any wetlands in this delineation, since the period was normal. Precipitation data
is located in Appendix A. This wetland delineation was performed and reported by W.:lyne Jacobson,
Minnesota Professional Soil Scientist #30611, Society of Wetland Scientists — Professional Wetland
Scientist #1000, University of Minnesota / BWSR Wetland Del neator, Certified #1019, American
Fisheries Society — Associate Fisheries Scientist #A-171.
The wetlands on the subject property were delineated using the routine detEtrminat:on methodology seat
forth in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. Wetland boundaries were
determined through a routine analysis of the vegetation, soils and hydrology which must all show wetland
characteristics in order for an area to be delineated as a wetland. Wetlands are areas that are saturated
or inundated with surface and or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that
under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted 1.or life in hydric, soi
conditions, Examples of wetlands ine ude seasonally flcoded basins, floodplain forests, wet meadows,
shallow and deep marshes, shrub swamps, wooded swamps, fens, and bogs.
The plant species within the parcel were catalogued and assigned a wetland indicator status according to:
Lichvar, R.W., Butterwick, N.C. Melvin, and W.N. Kirchner, 2014. Ttre National Wetland Plant List: 2014
Update of Wetland Ratings, Phytoneuron 2014-41: 1-42,
In the text of this report and on the enclosed data forms, the plant indicator status follows the plant's
scientific name unless a status has not been assigned. The hydrophytic plant criterion is met when more
than 50 percent of the dominant species by the 50/20 rule for each stratum (herb, shrub/sapling, tree, and
woody vine) were assigned an ooligate (OBI.)', facultative wet (FACW), and.rcr factalta�ive (FAG) wetiana
status.

City Review Procedure:
• Subdivisions, Planned Unit Developments, Site Plan Reviews, Conditional and Interim Uses, Wetland Alterations, Rezonings,
Comprehensive Plan Amendments and Code Amendments require a public hearing before the Planning Commission. City
ordinances require all property within 500 feet of the subject site to be notified of the application in writing. Any interested party is
invited to attend the meeting.
• Staff prepares a report on the subject application that includes all pertinent information and a recommendation. These reports are
available by request. At the Planning Commission meeting, staff will give a verbal overview of the report and a recommendation.
The item will be opened for the public to speak about the proposal as a part of the hearing process. The Commission will close the
public hearing and discuss the item and make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council may reverse, affirm or modify
wholly or partly the Planning Commission's recommendation. Rezonings, land use and code amendments take a simple majority
vote of the City Council except rezonings and land use amendments from residential to commercial/industrial.
• Minnesota State Statute 519.99 requires all applications to be processed within 60 days unless the applicant waives this standard.
Some applications due to their complexity may take several months to complete. Any person wishing to follow an item through the
process should check with the Planning Department regarding its status and scheduling for the City Council meeting.
• A neighborhood spokesperson/representative is encouraged to provide a contact for the city. Often developers are encouraged to
meet with the neighborhood regarding their proposal. Staff is also available to review the project with any interested person(s).
• Because the Planning Commission holds the public hearing, the City Council does not. Minutes are taken and any correspondence
regarding the application will be included in the report to the City Council. If you wish to have something to be included in the report,
please contact the Planning Staff person named on the notification.

My wife and I are requesting that we keep the driveway width at 12 feet with a non -
ninety degree angle for several reasons. Primarily, it is for safety reasons. A 10 foot
driveway is quite narrow and could limit access to fire trucks or emergency vehicles that
have a larger wheel base and could require a wider turn radius. With a 400 foot driveway
and no city water or fire hydrants, any delay of them reaching our house could be
catastrophic. The ditch it will be crossing is quite deep and would be greatly problematic
if they were to go off of the road. In addition, for ourselves and any guests that visit, we
would like the wider road for a margin of safety. In the winter if the ditch fills with snow
and any snow is covering the driveway, the additional width would make it much less
likely to miss the driveway. Plowing the driveway the entire length would also be more
complicated. Because of the length of the driveway and lack of ability for larger trucks to
turn around, the septic system could cause issues with them having to back up the entire
length. Lastly, Wausau Homes will be constructing the house. The wheel base on the
trucks delivering the trusses and frames is approximately 9 foot 8 inches, leaving only 2
inches on either side of a 10 foot driveway which they say is not feasible.
