TH 445 WEST 79 STREET, CHICK-FIL-A: SITE PLAN REVIEW WITH VARIANCES TO CONSTRUCT A 4,775 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT ON 1.32 ACRES OF PROPERTY ZONED HIGHWAY AND BUSINESS SERVICES DISTRICT (BH) AND TH LOCATED AT 445 WEST 79 STREET, CHICK-FIL-A. APPLICANT: CHICK-FIL-A INC. OWNER: CHANHASSEN SHOPPES, LLC. Generous: Thank you Chairman Aller, commissioners. As you stated before us is planning case with site plan review with a variance for the hard cover on the property. It’s located at 445 West th 79 Street. Project name is Chick-fil-A. Tonight we have the Planning Commission meeting. th The public hearing. On May 9 this will go before City Council for final determination. The applicant is Chick-fil-A Inc and the owner of the property is Chanhassen Shoppes LLC. This property is located at the northwest corner of Highway 5 and Great Plains Boulevard. The existing building on site is on one lot. There’s a little extension to the southeast that the City currently owns. There’s a purchase agreement in place to sell that to the property owner and Chanhassen Planning Commission – April 19, 2016 create one bigger lot. Previously on this site there was Prairie House restaurant and then after that the current commercial center, a 10,000 square foot multi tenant building was built in 1996 and now they’re proposed to remove the existing building and put in a separate structure for Chick-fil-A. The property is zoned Highway and Business Services District (BH) which permits, it’s really oriented to vehicular access type uses. It permits almost, the most commercial uses that we have in all our zoning districts. The property is guided for commercial uses. The zoning th and land use are consistent with each other. Access to the property is via West 79 Street on the north side. There’s no direct access to either Great Plains Boulevard or Highway 5. On the west side of this property there’s a joint access with the Chanhassen Inn and that will remain in place throughout this development. Again the request is for a site plan review approval for the construction of a one story restaurant building with a drive thru facility. It’s about 4,775 square feet. The variance is for hard cover. They’re requesting an increase from 65 percent which is permitted under the zoning ordinance to 77.5. We have proposed some revisions to the plan that reduce that but not a lot. It’s still over 77 percent and we’ll get into that later. And we’ll address the variance first. Again they’re requesting 77.5 percent hard cover. This property, the BH district provides for highway commercial development type uses and so it’s really designed for vehicular uses. This is the most vehicular use if you had a drive thru restaurant on a commercial property. It has great visibility to the highway. Easy access. The joint access with the property on the west is part of the problem for hard cover maintenance. Generally we see perimeter landscaping where the properties can make up for their green space. In this case they can’t. I took a 10 foot strip at 280 feet on the west side and that’s why I came up that they lose at least 2,800 square feet of green space or pervious surfaces. They’re trying to redevelop a site that currently exceeds the hard cover. It’s at 81.9 percent now so that is over, the resulting percentage hard cover will be less than currently exists but they also have a slightly bigger property so the net result is it’s about a wash between the proposed hard cover and what they have now. However we believe that it is a reasonable use of the property. They are trying, they’re meeting all the city code requirements for green space. For parking lot landscaping. Perimeter landscaping and they have made some modifications that will, like I said reduce the amount from 77.5 to and I believe Joe may have the final number. They’re still working on that. They’re making some corrections. They’ll go through that. Here’s the site plan. It has some of the revisions. Originally the drive thru for the, had two drive lanes coming into it and so in this case you see that we had them reduce it down to one. They were able to pick up this corner for some landscaped area. It’s potentially I don’t know I have to ask Alyson if they can reduce the radius on this curve and add a little more green space. They were able to expand this patio area which was at one time it was limited to straight across here so it becomes a better functioning area for people to congregate and eat their food. Drive thru continues. We’re also looking at trying to shorten up this sidewalk by at least a panel, maybe two if we can shift it to the west slightly and so they pick up some more green space. This is the area that they’re purchasing from the City so that was just basically for the drive thru. It does represent a significant portion of their green space. We also are working with them to make sure all their landscape islands are at least 10 feet interior diameter. Interior dimensions of pervious surface so we have areas there. I was in some preliminary talks with Terry to see if it was possible if their proposed stormwater system doesn’t work if we can use some of these landscape islands to provide a rain garden type 2 Chanhassen Planning Commission – April 19, 2016 area. That water from the parking lot that could flow directly into them and that’s something we’ll continue to look at. Again I just tried to highlight all the landscape areas in this. Again we are looking at expanding all the islands to meet the 10 feet interior dimension between, behind the curb. The perimeter on the east side is primary green space and then along the north property line. They’re working there. As part of our review they are short a few trees and they have some trees that aren’t really acclimated for this area so we recommend that they make some changes. There is an 8 inch oak that’s right on this property line up here and it’s just south of the Holiday and they will be preserving that in place so we will be receiving the revised landscape plans as they go forward showing that that will remain. Oh the stormwater system is underground here. We’re seeing that a lot because there’s not a lot of green area that they can. The concern is with the downstream system from this. That it is under sized and it won’t accommodate additional stormwater runoff and so currently they have to meet the 1.1 inch of retention on site and so we’re working with them to verify that their system will actually work. They need some additional information regarding the water table out there and then the calculations for the actual system. They will meet it. It’s just how eventually it’s done is may be modified as we go forward and get additional information. The building is, basically it’s a two tone building. I sort of, we tried to design it to make it look like there’s two components to it. Brick is the primary material and let’s see I’ll go to the overhead cam. The primary brick color is that red, the reddish brown brick on the left side. I can’t even remember the name. Red velour is what they call it and then the other one is beige colored brick and that’s primarily the entrance area and the eastern end of the building. They have dark bronze anodized window framing and also the coping at the top of the window and then also they have, we’ve had them incorporate metal canopies over the windows so all these darken areas represent canopies. These flat areas are also canopies but they’re those flat projecting ones. They don’t come down or up and so we see a lot of that in the new construction. These are actually functional canopies so they’ll help in the summer months to reduce some of the heat into the building and that’s one, it also provides additional architectural interest to those elevations. Okay each of these windows, these are actual metal canopies over the windows. The flat ones are over the entrance areas and the service doors so you’ll see this is on the west end of the building. This is the west elevation. It’s what you would see as you were coming down Highway 5 from the west. This is the south elevation. Here’s north elevation. There’s not, these are faux windows in here. This one is on the north end. It has a canopy. It’s faux window also so this is a service area within the building and this is the east elevation as you’re coming west on Highway 5 what you would see. Signage is composed, well it’s permissible on 3 elevations. They’re not using it on the north side of the building so they’re using it on their main entrances which is on the west side. Right here above the main entry on the Highway 5 side. And then also on the Great Plains side of the building and that, we didn’t do a review for compliance with city ordinance but that’s a condition of approval that they have to meet the requirements under the BH district regulations for size. Lighting is proposed throughout the development. They have, they meet all the requirements in the parking lot. On the roof they do have one spotlight and I’ve been advised that that’s to light the United States of America flag which is permitted under city ordinance so otherwise they have downcast lighting around the building. It’s little sconces. As part of our review we want to make sure that they don’t have, it’s all downcast so it doesn’t shine up and that again is a condition of approval. 3 Chanhassen Planning Commission – April 19, 2016 Here’s the interior layout of the building. This is the north side up here. South, west and east of course and these are more service areas along on the south. Northeast corner of the building. There is a little play area in the southeast corner of the building. The patio area would be on, along the south side here. As a part of our review we requested that the applicant perform a th traffic study of the area. Specifically at West 79 Street and Great Plains Boulevard but then we also looked at it at Market Boulevard. Their engineer will talk about this more in the future. As always left turns are where we have problems with traffic circulation and so I’ll let him get into th that. It’s currently an F. It will remain an F and eastbound West 79 Street and Great Plains Boulevard unless we get different traffic patterns in the community. And again I’ll let their engineer discuss that further. I think that’s what that. Staff is recommending approval of the site plan with the variance for the hard cover subject to the conditions in the staff report and adoption of the Findings of Fact and Recommendation. With that I’d be happy to answer any questions. Aller: Anyone have any questions at this point in time of staff? Tietz: Yes. Aller: Commissioner Tietz. Tietz: Yeah Bob. Can you help clarify, there’s code requires 60 stalls and they’re putting in 72 stalls. What’s, help me, help clarify what’s driving that? Is that their analysis of traffic and what they think the facility’s going to drive? Generous: Commissioner Tietz, yes. Basically it’s their operating standard. They’re looking for at least 70 stalls. With the modifications we’re talking about I believe they may lose a couple so they’ll be below that 73. Tietz: Because if they met code they’d have no problem meeting the coverage I don’t think if you eliminated 12 stalls. Aanenson: That’s correct. There was a lot of discussion on that when we first met with them so we asked to see their analytics from other stores that they’ve built in the metro area what they used and that’s what they determined. They gave us kind of their peak hours. What their biggest demand is. What they would need for that. Because it’s tight parking in there right now, you have the Holiday and then ultimately we believe the other property’s going to get redeveloped too. Tietz: The motel or the inn? Aanenson: Correct. Some day in the future. Tietz: Yeah. 4 Chanhassen Planning Commission – April 19, 2016 Aanenson: It’s over 30 years in it’s life cycle there so we did spend a lot of time with them on that. That was a big issue for them. I guess the perspective we took right now it’s solid asphalt. There’s no trees or anything in there. It was built to a different standard so because we were moving towards getting compliance and doing the underground stormwater treatment which isn’t there right now, that was our position but you’re right. If they dropped those stalls they could meet the requirement. Tietz: With a shared road Kate for entry is there any potential in the future that as that site to the west gets redeveloped that there is potentially a shared parking? Aanenson: Yes. I think that’s what we could look at if it’s offset demand just like we have down at the Villages on the Pond or we have actually in the Dinner Theater district. We actually have a nice matrix there looking at what peak demands are there so because we don’t know what that use is going to be. We’ve had some interesting thoughts there that would drive up parking so yes. We always try to look at shared and that’s something we might want to put in the standards too especially they’re usually not open on Sundays so that might be something too that we might make a condition. That’s a good point. Tietz: Thank you. Aller: Any further discussion at this time? Any questions? Okay, we’ll have the applicant step forward if he’d like to make a presentation and please state your name for the record. Joe Vavrina: Sure my name is Joe Vavrina with HR Green. Project manager for the project. Aller: Welcome. Joe Vavrina: And I’m here to represent Chick-fil-A. Thank you for entertaining our proposal tonight. I figured I’d jump right into traffic. I know Bob had mentioned that there would be further discussion on that so I put together this quick overall exhibit to kind of highlight the area that we looked at. This area in here is the Chick-fil-A. Where the Chick-fil-A will be built and th the two intersections that were looked at which was Great Plains and 79 and then Market and th 79 which is over here on this side. See if we can get that all in the picture maybe. So working th with staff there was initial concern that on the intersection of Great Plains and 79 there’s some back up potentially today with the eastbound left turns on 79th going northbound to Great Plains so we went out and did a traffic study on that intersection specifically to start. Looked at the peak hours. Both the midday as well as the pm peak during the week as well as Saturday during lunch hours. We determined, we went out and did counts between 11:00 and 1:00 during the week, 4:00 and 6:00 during the evening hours, and 11:00 and 2:00 on Saturdays. We determined the peaks were between 11:15 and 12:15 during the week. The pm peak was between 5:00 and 6:00 and then on Saturday it was between 11:30 and 12:30. So looking at those specific hours we developed the level of service analysis and queue determinations for the intersections in all the legs so the first item that we wanted to look at was the northbound left on Great Plains so that 5 Chanhassen Planning Commission – April 19, 2016 th would be this movement as you turn onto Great Plains to make the left into 79. We wanted to make sure that there was no back up that would occur onto Highway 5. In the analysis that we looked at there was no level of service drop. It remained at, I believe it was an A which is the best level of service you can possibly get. Again there is no stop control on Great Plains in either th the north or south bound directions so it’s pretty much a free flow into 79. We then looked at all the other legs and really the leg that, you know as Bob had mentioned earlier that currently th fails today is the eastbound left on 79 going northbound Great Plains. As the Chick-fil-A would develop it would concurrently remain to be an F so we looked at things that we could do to help mitigate that to help and improve the situation out there. We also looked at you know how does the traffic distribute coming into the Chick-fil-A and going out of the Chick-fil-A which is really going to be two different percentages. As traffic approaches we looked at an 85/15 split where 85 percent of the traffic comes from the east. From Highway 5 up through Great Plains and into the development and the other 15 would come from Market Boulevard th down 79 and then into the development. From an existing perspective, again this is just during the peak, that percentage changes knowing that human nature is going to look at and see if there is a back up at this left turn lane at Great Plains, they’re going to go to Market Boulevard because they know that hey there’s alternate ways to get in and out of this area and they will take an alternate means to get out so the exiting distribution was a 65/35 where 65 would go out to Great Plains and then back to 5, or north and the other 35 would go to Market Boulevard. We looked at the level of service impacts at Market Boulevard as well and thanks to the City they provided, or staff provided us some counts they had recently done at Market Boulevard to help us understand how that intersection would operate today and in the future and really the only impact in movement was the westbound left onto Market. Currently today that operates at a level of service E and after development it would go to an F but it’s marginally right at the E to F so right now it’s a high E and when the Chick-fil-A goes to a very low F. It’s like a 2 second difference as far as the time delay so in our opinion it’s a negligible impact on Market. The improvements or recommendations that we came up with in the study to again help mitigate you know some of what’s going on at the Great Plains intersection was to restripe this median here to extend it and create a longer left turn bay and storage. That would provide additional area for cars that are trying to make that left out. Room to stack so that they don’t block the right, the right through combo. That is something that Chick-fil-A has committed to do if everyone deems to be acceptable. And then the other thing would be to possibly add some informational signage on site for those that aren’t familiar with the area. That are visiting the site. Just passing through that if this access point appears to be congested that they could use the Market Boulevard access point as an alternate means to either go north or to get back to Highway 5. It’s a challenging th intersection being at Great Plains and 79. It’s you know within 250 foot of Highway 5. You know a lot of the things that us as engineers use to help solve some of the traffic issues such as stop control, signals wouldn’t work in this situation because it would create more of an issue to Highway 5 and back traffic up into Highway 5 so unfortunately we can’t go with any of those solutions that we typically would look at and really are limited to the things that we can do out there. The restripe for the left turn lane makes sense. Provides additional storage. I think in the, with the proposed development we would fit all the vehicles in that peak hour which was 95 percentile that we looked at which was worst case scenario which doesn’t happen every day. I 6 Chanhassen Planning Commission – April 19, 2016 was just out there tonight and there was nobody making a left turn out of there at 5:30 so I mean again it’s the worst case scenario but in that event if we were to restripe this we could fit all those left turn movements in that and keep that right through open so that we don’t back any traffic up into there to make it a little bit more safer so I guess with that I’ll open up the questions on the traffic study itself. I know that’s a big component of this proposal. Be happy to answer any other questions as it relates to the Chick-fil-A building. The site. Real quick I will add to the question on the number of parks. The 70 stalls that we have is, actually I think as Bob had mentioned we are, we have reduced it down and this plan here incorporates some of the changes that Bob was alluding to earlier with widening out the landscape islands to get that 10 foot back to back for here, here, here and actually that one’s a little bit wider than 10 so we lost 2 spaces in the mix so right now we’re at 71 stalls from where we originally proposed. Typically in this market you know we look to get at least a minimum of 70. That’s what we’ve seen in this market that we need to operate. Anything less than that we start to bust at the seams if you will and we don’t want to get in situations where people are parking in other areas that we don’t have the ability to park in so that’s the reasoning behind the increase of stalls that we are proposing. And then I guess a real quick blip on the building. This building here that we’re proposing is a custom building so it, you will not find another one in Minnesota or in the Midwest quite honestly. The closest one that we’ve done this in is Omaha, Nebraska and it fits this site very well because it’s a very odd shaped site and it’s not very rectangular to fit some of our other prototypes so this will definitely be a very particular building for this site. Aanenson: Planning Commission just wanted you to know that the original application design we asked for changes so. And they complied with that so very appreciative of that. Aller: Great. Any questions at this point? I’m going to ask, the 70 is that in the game plan for you as a typical business plan model to also include your employees or expected employees? Joe Vavrina: That’s correct. Aller: So we don’t have to worry about employee parking. Joe Vavrina: Correct, that includes them. Aller: And did you take a look at the potential impact on the Holiday if the restriping is done for purposes of ingress and egress on their 2 driveways? Joe Vavrina: As far as access to them? Aller: Right. Joe Vavrina: Absolutely. Let me go back to that exhibit. Aller: What that potential impact might be. 7 Chanhassen Planning Commission – April 19, 2016 Joe Vavrina: So as it’s currently striped today with the outer stripe and the inner stripe and then the diagonal stripes inbetween, technically that’s supposed to be, you’re not supposed to cross that. Aller: Right. Joe Vavrina: It’s a right-in/right-out. That’s the way it’s striped. Legally it’s you know these entrances are technically right-in/right-out. Obviously everybody uses that. They enter that. It’s not enforced. If we were to extend the left turn storage bay my thought would be if no one’s in the storage bay people are still going to continue to make that movement. If, and if you get into a situation where this is full and somebody needed to get into here you know they could always go past and make a U turn and come in which again and this is not a preferred option but they could do that. That pavement out there is wide enough to make that. It’s almost 36 feet wide so they could make a U turn to get back to the gas station if they had to and again we’re talking worst case scenario. Peak hour which is for a small period of time. Aller: And then water disposal, what’s the potential if you know at this point for that to not only meet but to be able to avoid having downstream impact based on the stormwater drainage? Joe Vavrina: Sure. So right now what we’re looking at is the underground system as Bob had mentioned and really you know the thing that we need to clarify and get some more information from our geotechnical engineer is you know where the ceiling high ground water actually ends up and is that, the area that we’re going to put the cell is that inundated with ground water. If it is then our solution that we currently have is going to be challenged because it’s kind of hard to store the water if there’s already water in there from ground water so we may have to look at alternate solutions but if we can show that the ground water is lower than that you know the solution would be is that we’re going to store the 1.1 inches. Infiltrate that into the ground and then everything else will flow beyond. You know the intent is that our discharge that we, that leaves the site will be at or less than what it is today so we will improve the situation. We’re definitely not going to make it worst. We will do some additional modeling to verify some of the additional work that we’re doing out here in the right-of-way. Some of the drainage swales that we’re putting in that you know there’s not a negative impact on that storm sewer that goes under Highway 5. Aller: Great. And then trash bins or trash, refuse what are we using? Joe Vavrina: Excuse me. Aller: Where’s the trash bins? Joe Vavrina: Right here at the top of the site. 8 Chanhassen Planning Commission – April 19, 2016 Aller: So easy access in and out? Joe Vavrina: Yes, for the garbage truck. Aller: And it’s got good coverage so it’s protected. Joe Vavrina: Yes. th Aanenson: It will be similar to what like Taco Bell has. Their’s are up against West 78 Street. Aller: Any additional questions? Thank you sir. Joe Vavrina: Thank you. Aller: Okay. I haven’t led off with my usual spiel so I’ll kind of go through that real quick. We are a representative body recommending to the City Council for approval on these items and this item if approved would go to the City Council for final action and after we have the presentations as we just have had from staff and the applicant we open up the matter for public input so I will do that at this time. If anyone wishing to speak for or against the item before us tonight wishes to come forward they can do so. Please come forward. State your name and address for the record. Seeing no one come forward I will close the public hearing and open it up for commissioner comment. Comment? Thanks to staff for putting together such a great package. It’s very complete. For those of you at home that don’t have it in front of you, you can have access to all our Minutes and the packages that come before us on our city website so feel free to take a look at the packages as they progress through planning and City Council. I don’t have any additional questions or comments. I think it looks like they’ve done a good job in working with planning and coming up with something that appears to work for the site very well. I look forward to seeing a building that Chanhassen that no one else in Minnesota or the country might have so with that. Tietz: The new prototype. Good package. Aller: Any additional? Tietz: Well done. Aller: I’ll entertain a motion. Hokkanen: I’ll make a motion the Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends City Council approve the site plan with variance for hard surface coverage subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the Findings of Fact and Recommendation. Aller: I have a motion. Do I have a second? 9 Chanhassen Planning Commission – April 19, 2016 Madsen: Second. Aller: Having a motion from Commissioner Hokkanen and a second from Commissioner Madsen, any further discussion?

APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Madsen noted the verbatim and summary Minutes of the Planning Commission dated March 15, 2016 as presented. COMMISSION PRESENTATIONS. Aller: Any announcements by the commissioners? Aanenson: Ms. Hokkanen do you have an announcement? st Hokkanen: I have to tender my resignation as of June 1. We will be moving out of Chanhassen. Very sad to leave after 21 years. It’s a step for my family. 12 Chanhassen Planning Commission – April 19, 2016 Aller: We all appreciate the fact that in those 21 years you’ve done a lot for the city and it’s residents both in your professional capacity as a realtor but your personal input and being here in the community as an individual and then certainly last but not least your service here on the Planning Commission. Using your expertise to a great advantage for the betterment of all of Chanhassen so we really thank you. Hokkanen: It’s been my privilege. Aller: And wish you the best of luck and we’ll see you on Highway 5. Hokkanen: I still work in Chanhassen. Aanenson: That’s right. We’ll get you for another meeting or two yet but yep. ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS. Aller: And were we going to cover the open house for Highway 5 at all in our update? Aanenson: Yes. Just talk about a couple other things. Yes. I mean that’s, Highway 5 open house. 41 open house? What? Aller: The Highway 5 and Chanhassen, the right turn acceleration lane, public open house next th Thursday, April 28 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. here at the Chanhassen council chambers so if you want to get details of the project and ask questions of the project staff that will be right here on th April 28 from 4:00 to 6:00 and they’ll talk about adding the acceleration between both junctions of Highway 101. Replacing the traffic signal at Great Plains Boulevard with the flashing yellow arrows and replacing the pedi trail between Highway 100, Dakota Avenue and Great Plains Boulevard. Aanenson: Yeah I don’t know if Alyson wants to add anything. Fauske: Commissioner Aller you provided some great information. This project is headed by MnDOT and so staff requested that MnDOT hold an open house for those that would be impacted. There will be a closure of Market Boulevard but they’ve been limited as to the time that they can have Market Boulevard closed to accommodate those movements. And as you stated the improvements are for some acceleration lanes along Highway 5 that they like to get in before the Ryder Cup comes into, goes into Chaska. Aller: So hopefully a good safety improvement for that intersection. Fauske: Correct. 13 Chanhassen Planning Commission – April 19, 2016 Aller: Any additional City Council action updates? th Aanenson: I have a couple things. On March 28 the City Council did discuss the stable permit for a miniature pony… Sorry, I said pony. It’s a miniature horse. Aller: Mini horse. Aanenson: They’re different things. Then some businesses…Jersey Mike’s is going next to Noodles so if you look at what the Chick-fil-A looks like, they mimic some of the same features that are on that building for Noodles and now Jersey Mike’s… and bakery is going in on West thth 79 Street. …we do have a subdivisions coming in on Lake Lucy Road… Then on May 17 there’s some things going out there but none of those came in but I believe you will have a wetland alteration permit on that meeting. Terry Jeffery will be handling and then some of those other things…we’re not sure where Wilson Nursery stands but there’s also a subdivision… I did want to let you know that the lifestyle center, it’s coming in. They’ve given us a date and that th will be on July 19. That will be concept. Again on that a concept is not legally binding but it is our job to kind of give them direction on where we see that going. The council will also be discussing this on their work session before…before the public hearing. After that there’s a lot of environmental stuff that needs to be updated with the AUAR…give them some marching orders…for probably 4 months or so while they work through those issues. I don’t know if you know or not but the City’s working on that west water treatment so there’s meetings going on about that. I know Alyson’s done some background work on that. Bob started working on the site plan approval…so they’ve got that scheduled to come before you to look at that and that’s right off of Galpin. Galpin Boulevard and south of Sugarbush Park…Lake Harrison. North of that. Then also I just want to remind you that tomorrow night we’re having a visioning I know some of you will not be there. Others that are not here tonight will be there. That’s with all the commissions and there will be, after that meeting there will be some take away so we’ll be sure… The intent was to go through the work plan that we put together to talk about the Comprehensive Plan which will be our big push this year and next year and again because you hold all the public hearings, you’re kind of the most, the vested in some of that process too so I’m looking for an exciting and I think it’s good to get all of our commissions together too. To do some bonding there so I’ve put a lot on your plate these 2 weeks. Appreciate everybody going along and then we do have in August we’re going to have the joint tour with the Environmental Commission and Park Commission too and I believe we’ve set that for, I want to th say the 10 and that’s the normal commission. I’ll get this on the schedule. I realized now I didn’t have that on there so you can bookmark that so we’ll think about what topics we want to look at. It might relate to the comp plan or not. We’ll see what else. It might be the lifestyle center. Talk about some of the amenities down there. Things we’re trying to preserve but Chairman that is all I had for kind of the administrative. Oh I’m sorry, I did pass out one other thing too and that was if anybody’s interested in taking one of these classes let me know. I’ll sign you up for that. Aller: Great, thank you. 14 Chanhassen Planning Commission – April 19, 2016 Aanenson: Yep. Aller: Okay I think we’ve run through the agenda for this evening. Aanenson: Except for Terry’s open discussion here. Aller: Open discussion so we will go into a work session after we adjourn and at this point in time I’ll entertain a motion to adjourn.
