In addition to the Planning Commission 3300 Tanadoona Drive- Dining Hall June 18, 2019 Page 3 of 14 new building, Phase 2 will connect the dining hall to City sewer and water, add staff and visitor parking, and revise the existing access road and internal site circulation. Phase 2 The new building will have a 200 person seating capacity and provide the camp with a flexible indoor space to meet current demands and help grow the camp as a year-round destination. The applicant has sent out mailers to the surrounding properties and invited them to take a tour of the camp and meet onsite to learn about the proposed project. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Chapter 20, Article II, Division 6, Site Plan Review Chapter 20, Article VII, Shoreland Management District Chapter 20, Article XI, “RR” Rural Residential District BACKGROUND 1924: Camp Tanadoona begins operations. 2012: Camp Tanadoona developed a master plan to preserve the site, better meet the need for summer camp, expand programs and facilities for year-round use, and help the camp be a better neighbor and community asset. Planning Commission 3300 Tanadoona Drive- Dining Hall June 18, 2019 Page 4 of 14 2014: Completed Phase 1 of the master plan (new Day Camp Village and overnight cabins, multiple gathering areas, an archery range and garden, and the Tree House outdoor living classroom) 2018: Camp Tanadoona met with City Staff to discuss what would be required to imitate Phase 2 of the master plan (new dining hall, connection to city sewer and water, revised parking and site circulation). May 22, 2019: Camp Tanadoona presented their master plan and vision for the camp during the City Council work session. They also discussed their proposed timeline and goal of having the new dining area completed by next spring. SITE CONDTIONS The property is split between a western 62.14-acre parcel (PID 250083200) and a 41.94-acre eastern parcel (PID 250092600). Both parcels are zoned Rural Residential District (RR) and the western parcel is partially located within the shoreland overlay district. The RR district requires a minimum lot size of 2.5 acres, front and rear setbacks of 50 feet, side yard setbacks of 10 feet, and limit properties to 20 percent lot coverage. The shoreland overlay district also requires a 150-foot lake setback for non-residential structures without water-oriented needs. There are also several wetlands present on the property and portions of the western parcel are located within a floodplain. The site is primarily bordered by low-density residential districts with Planned Unit Development-Residential districts to the north and east, and Rural Residential and Single Family Residential districts to the south. Westwood Community Church, which is zoned Office Institution District is also located south of the Camp. Planning Commission 3300 Tanadoona Drive- Dining Hall June 18, 2019 Page 5 of 14 Wetland Protection No activities associated with the proposed project will be conducted near any of the wetland on the site. There is no anticipated impact on or alteration to the wetlands. Shoreland Overlay The dining hall and some of the proposed parking and impervious surface is located within the shoreland overlay district; however, the proposed lot coverage is significantly below what is permitted and the structure is approximately 750 feet from the lake. None of the proposed activities are outside the scope of what is permitted within the shoreland overlay district. Floodplain Overlay Portions of the site are located within the 100-year and 500 year flood zones; however, the proposed structure is over 700 from the nearest flood zone and, as such, does not trigger any of the provisions in the City’s floodplain ordinance. DISCUSSION The applicant is requesting site plan approval for a 10,500 square foot dining hall. The main level building footprint is 5,135 square feet with an additional 5,365 square feet of space on the lower level. . Planning Commission 3300 Tanadoona Drive- Dining Hall June 18, 2019 Page 6 of 14 ARCHITECTURAL ASSESSMENT* *Note: Since the property is zoned Rural Residential, it is exempted from the City’s formal design standards; however, an informal design review is provided below. Size Portion Placement The main entrance is located on the north elevation and is accented by a canopy. Secondary access is provided by walk out level doors on the south and east elevations, as well as two other main level entrances on the north elevation. The configuration of the main entrance and placement of secondary access would meet the location and designation standards of the City Code. Planning Commission 3300 Tanadoona Drive- Dining Hall June 18, 2019 Page 7 of 14 The proposed building is approximately 92 feet wide and 72 feet deep at its greatest extent. The applicant has made extensive use of façade modulation as well as variation in building’s rooflines to provide architectural differentiation. The result of these techniques is that the buildings elevations are visually broken into smaller increments. Even though the dining hall is a single story structure, the applicant is proposing to utilize skirt board, south and east elevations, and a rear deck, south elevation, to create a visual break between the main level and walkout level. The overall effect is to create visually appealing building that meets the intent of the City design ordinance. Material, Color and Detail The applicant is proposing to use tongue and groove siding painted in natural browns along with large glass windows on the north and south elevations for the building’s main level. Trim board and small amounts of prefinished metal are proposed as accent materials. As discussed above, the elevations are articulated by the use of techniques including façade modulation and variation in the building’s rooflines are utilized to provide architectural differentiation. The presence of and spacing of windows and doors along the north, south, and east elevations provides additional articulation. The lower level walkout level is a combination of siding, windows, and unfinished concrete. Typically, unfished concrete is not permitted; however, the ordinances does allow for its use in areas with limited public view. As the proposed concrete is located on the lower level in the rear of a structure which is located in the middle of a 104-acre campground, staff believes that the proposed use of unfinished concrete in this instance meets the intent limited public view criteria. The overall use of material, color and detail serves to create an attractive building that is appropriate to the site’s natural context that meets the intent of the City’s design ordinance. Height and Roof Design The building height is 17 feet 2 inches as measured from the top of the highest grade to the average height of the roof. The absolute highest point of the building is the chimney at 23 feet 8 inches. This is significantly below the 35 feet permitted by ordinance. The roof is of pitched design and no rooftop mechanical equipment is present that would necessitate screening. Facade Transparency The applicant is proposing large windows along the north and south elevations, which extend up into two of the three gables and across the main floor dining area. The proposed widows meet the intent of the design ordinance’s glazing criteria. Planning Commission 3300 Tanadoona Drive- Dining Hall June 18, 2019 Page 8 of 14 Site Furnishings The applicant is proposing north and south circular patios, the northern one being located near a freestanding fireplace, and the southern one having a campfire ring and tiered semi-circle of benches. A mulch-walking path with timber steps is also proposed to facilitate pedestrian traffic between the north and south elevations. The applicant is also proposing a deck along the south side of the building. Loading Areas, Refuse Area, etc. The dumpsters and loading area along the east façade will be screened through the use of a boulder retaining wall. The location of the building and size of the site mean that there is no potential of these areas being viewed from the public right-of-way. Lighting No light poles or parking area lighting is proposed. Exterior lighting will be confined to wall mounted light fixtures near building entrances. All exterior lighting shall be shielded and have 90 degree cut-off angles pursuant to city code. Signage The applicant is proposing building signage along the north elevation. No details have been provided for the proposed sign and any sign would need to comply with the City’s sign ordinance. If the sign is a nameplate or integral sign not exceeding two square feet no permit would be required; however, any other type of wall sign would require a sign permit. The City’s sign code permits up to four direction signs without permits; however, it allows the City Council to authorize additional directional signs in cases where they are necessary for safe and efficient navigation of the site. Given the unique nature and size of Camp Tanadoona, staff recommends that the City Council permit the installation of directional signs as needed, so long as they comply with the size and location requirements listed in the City’s sign code. Landscaping The applicant is rebuilding within a wooded area and is proposing to preserve trees in conjunction with the development of the site. To do so successfully, the applicant will need to provide tree protection fencing around all trees shown to be preserved within and at the edge of Planning Commission 3300 Tanadoona Drive- Dining Hall June 18, 2019 Page 9 of 14 grading limits. The fencing shall be located at the dripline or furthest point possible from the trunk of the tree. All protection fencing shall remain in place until construction is complete. The applicant has provided satisfactory foundation plantings around the building and is adding over a dozen trees for reforestation. Access, Lot Frontage and Parking Location The camp access is along Tanadoona Dr. and the plan proposes to continue to utilize the existing driveway connection to the street. An internal network of gravel roads and drives facilitates travel within the site, and a twenty-foot fire lane provides for emergency vehicle access to the dining hall. Some parking improvements are proposed along the access drive to the new dining facility but the majority of the event parking is contained within a grassy area north of the access. The staff parking along the gravel access drive is indicated to have a stall depth of 20-feet. This depth meets the minimum requirements within the City Code but it is recommended the client consider a 2-foot deeper stall to facilitate parking of longer vehicles and passenger trucks. The concern being that because the area is gravel, vehicles may inadvertently protrude into the drive lane, impacting the flow of traffic. A 2-foot minimal buffer between the ends of the parked vehicles and the drive lane would assist with the natural flow of traffic and increase safety. Furthermore, people unloading camping necessities from the back of their vehicles would have additional space. It is assumed that no striping will be provided in the proposed parking stalls along the access drive due to the gravel surfacing. The Fire Marshall should comment on the proposed widths of the access lane to facilitate emergency vehicle access and set-up. The Fire Department has expressed concern that some of the proposed landscaping may interfere with the turn movements of emergency apparatus. They have noted that the turnaround lane is 12 in width and that additional room will be required on each side as well as the entrance to allow for property maneuvering. Planning Commission 3300 Tanadoona Drive- Dining Hall June 18, 2019 Page 10 of 14 The Fire Department is also requiring that the gravel roadway be designed to support up 75,000 pounds and that “No parking Fire Lane” signs and yellow curb paint will be needed on both sides of all roads under 26 feet in width. Parking will need to be confined to designated parking spaces. Miscellaneous The building is required to have automatic fire extinguishing systems. Building plans must be prepared and signed by design professionals licensed in the State of Minnesota. Building plans must include a code analysis that contains the following information: Key plan, Occupancy group, Type of construction, Allowable height and area, Fire sprinklers, Separated or non- separated, Fire resistive elements (Ext. walls, Bearing walls - exterior or interior, Shaft, Incidental use), Occupant load, Exits required (Common path, Travel distance), Minimum plumbing fixture count. Detailed occupancy-related requirements will be addressed when complete building plans are submitted. Structure proximity to property lines (and other buildings) will have an impact on the code requirements for the proposed building, including but not limited to: allowable size, protected openings and fire-resistive construction. These requirements will be addressed when complete building and site plans are submitted. Retaining walls (if present) more than four feet high must be designed by a professional engineer and a building permit must be obtained prior to construction. UTILITIES The plan proposes to serve the dining hall from in-place public utilities under Tanadoona Drive. Currently, drinking water is provided to the site by an existing private well. The plan proposes to connect the site to city water. The site currently utilizes a connection to the city’s sanitary sewer system that is approximately 100-feet west of the existing access to Tanadoona Dr. The plan proposes to extend sanitary sewer west from the manhole north of the existing connection to city sanitary sewer. An 8-inch PVC main is proposed to connect to the dining hall. The connection to the existing manhole on the site shall be core-drilled and booted in order to facilitate a watertight connection. An existing forcemain pumps sanitary sewage to the existing manhole. The plan proposes to eliminate this connection and re-route the forcemain to a new manhole further to the west. The connection at the existing manhole shall be abandoned by a water-tight means. The plan proposes a connection to the city water system near the existing sewer connection. The plan proposes to connect to an existing 6-inch DIP hydrant lead and extend an 8-inch PVC watermain into the site to serve the dining hall and future construction. The plan also proposes an alternate connection to the city water system to provide a looped system and an alternative source if there is a need for maintenance to the piping system. It is assumed the alternate connection will be bid as a separate item and the owner will determine if the work fits into the project budget. Engineering recommends the designer re-consider the main water connection design. There will likely be an increase in head-loss in regards to water flow and pressure for the service to the site by leaving in a 6-inch connection to the city watermain and then increasing to Planning Commission 3300 Tanadoona Drive- Dining Hall June 18, 2019 Page 11 of 14 8-inch pipe to service the site. The 6-inch pipe connection is approximately 15’ long and the headloss amount would be expected to be small but it should be recognized and calculated. The site is within the City’s high water pressure zone which may allow the design to be reasonable. The 6-inch gate valve should be examined for corrosion and stainless steel bolts when excavated. If mild steel bolts are found it is recommended the bolts on the existing valve and fittings be replaced. The existing 6-inch connection to the watermain is DIP. It is recommended an anode bag and pipe clamp be added to this ductile iron pipe stub if it is left in place. C900 pipe is required per City standards for all hydrant leads and all bends shall be epoxy coated in order to resist corrosion. Appropriate traffic control will be required for any work within the public right- of-way. GRADING, DRAINAGE, AND EROSION CONTROL The applicant is proposing to grade the site with a rural section design. The access drive is proposed to be a graveled surface in order to access the camp and the dining hall facility. Curb and gutter is not designed to assist in the control of drainage off of the internal roadways. Drainage across the proposed site generally follows a north-to-south pattern with water flowing across the site and towards Tanadoona Dr. The applicant is proposing a short retaining wall that is approximately 25-foot long near the dining hall. While the top of wall and bottom of wall elevations provided are less than 4’, the bottom wall elevation may be indicated at-grade rather than the true bottom of the wall. Bottom wall elevations of the entire wall section, or below grade, shall be provided. If the wall exceeds 4’ in total height, the wall shall be designed by a registered engineer, and plans shall be submitted for review. 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). All erosion control shall be installed and inspected prior to initiation of site grading activities. The plans include a proposed Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The proposed redevelopment will need to be permitted by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD). STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Article VII, Chapter 19 of City Code describes the required storm water management development standards for site plans. The proposed project is reducing the area of impervious surface by 359 S.F. and therefore peak discharge rates from the site will not increase and a hydrologic analysis is not required. Planning Commission 3300 Tanadoona Drive- Dining Hall June 18, 2019 Page 12 of 14 The project triggers the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) erosion control and stormwater management rules. The applicant will need to incorporate a best management practice (BMP) to meet MCWD requirements. MCWD staff are recommending the applicant install an above ground bioretention basin such as a rain garden. It is the applicant’s responsibility to work with MCWD to obtain all necessary permits.

Section 20-1124.1.g allows the City to establish parking requirements for uses not list listed in the code based on the characteristics of the use and available information on parking demand for the use. Camp Tanadoona has provided the City was a breakdown of how campers arrive and typical staffing levels for the camp (included as an attachment). Given the Camp’s long history within the community, lack of any historic parking issues, and capacity to add overflow parking areas staff is comfortable with the proposed amount of parking.

To do so successfully, the applicant will need to provide tree protection fencing around all trees shown to be preserved within and at the edge of grading limits. The fencing shall be located at the dripline or furthest point possible from the trunk of the tree. All protection fencing shall remain in place until construction is complete. The applicant has provided satisfactory foundation plantings around the building and is adding over a dozen trees for reforestation. Recommendations: 1. All tree proposed for preservation shall be protected with tree preservation fencing installed at the dripline or furthest point possible away from the trunk. Fencing shall remain in place until construction is completed. 2. A walk through of the tree preservation fencing prior to start of construction is required. Memorandum To: MacKenzie Young-Walters, Associate Planner From: George Bender, PE, Assistant City Engineer CC: Jason Wedel, PE, Public Works Director/City Engineer Erik Henricksen, Project Engineer Renae Clark, Water Resources Coordinator Kevin Crooks, Utility Superintendent Jill Sinclair, Environmental Resources Specialist Don Nutter, Fire Marshall Date: 6/7/2019 Re: Camp Fire Site Plan Review – City Planning Case No. 2019-05 ACCESS The camp access is along Tanadoona Dr and the plan proposes to continue to utilize the existing driveway connection to the street. Some parking improvements are proposed along the access drive to the new dining facility but the majority of the event parking is contained within a grassy area north of the access. The staff parking along the access drive is indicated to have a stall depth of 20-feet. This depth meets the minimum requirements within the City Code but it is recommended the client consider a 2-foot deeper stall to facilitate parking of longer vehicles and passenger trucks. The concern being that if vehicles protrude into or are close enough to impact the flow of traffic through the drive lane. A minimal buffer between the ends of the parked vehicles and the drive lane would assist with the natural flow of traffic and increase safety. People unloading camping necessities from the back of their vehicles would have additional space. It is assumed that no striping will be provided in the proposed parking stalls along the access drive due to the gravel surfacing. The Fire Marshall should comment on the proposed widths of the access lane to facilitate emergency vehicle access and set-up. GRADING AND DRAINAGE The applicant is proposing to grade the site with a rural section design. The access drive is proposed to be a graveled surface in order to access the camp and the dining hall facility. Curb and gutter is not designed to assist in the control of drainage off of the internal roadways. Drainage across the proposed site generally follows a north-to-south pattern with water flowing across the site and towards Tanadoona Dr. The applicant is proposing a short retaining wall that is approximately 25-foot long near the dining hall. While the top of wall and bottom of wall elevations provided are less than 4’, the bottom wall elevation may be indicated at-grade rather than the true bottom of the wall. Bottom wall elevations of the entire wall section, or below grade, shall be provided. If the wall exceeds 4’ in total height, the wall shall be designed by a registered engineer, and plans shall be submitted for review. EROSION 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). All erosion control shall be installed and inspected prior to initiation of site grading activities. The plans include a proposed Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The proposed redevelopment will need to be permitted by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD). STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Article VII, Chapter 19 of City Code describes the required storm water management development standards for site plans. The proposed project is reducing the area of impervious surface by 359 S.F. and therefore peak discharge rates from the site will not increase and a hydrologic analysis is not required. UTILITIES The plan proposed to serve the dining hall from in-place public utilities under Tanadoona Drive. Currently, drinking water is provided to the site by an existing private well. The plans propose to connect the site to city water. The site is currently utilizes a connection to the city’s sanitary sewer system that is approximately 100-feet west of the existing access to Tanadoona Dr. The plan proposes to extend sanitary sewer west from the manhole north of the existing connection to city sanitary sewer. An 8-inch PVC main is proposed to connect to the dining hall. The connection to the existing manhole on the site shall be core-drilled and booted in order to facilitate a watertight connection. An existing forcemain pumps sanitary sewage to the existing manhole. The plans propose to eliminate this connection and re-route the forcemain to a new manhole further to the west. The connection at the existing manhole shall be abandoned by a water-tight means. The plan proposed a connection to the city water system near the existing sewer connection. The plan proposes to connect to an existing 6-inch DIP hydrant lead and extend an 8-inch PVC watermain into the site to serve the dining hall and future construction. The plan also proposed an alternate connection to the city water system to provide a looped system and an alternative source if there is a need for maintenance to the piping system. It is assumed the alternate connection will be bid as a separate item and the owner will determine if the work fits into the project budget. Engineering recommends the designer re-consider the main water connection design. There will likely be an increase in head-loss in regards to water flow and pressure for the service to the site by leaving in a 6-inch connection to the city watermain and then increasing to 8-inch pipe to service the site. The 6-inch pipe connection is approximately 15’ long and the headloss amount would be expected to be small but it should be recognized and calculated. The site is within the City’s high water pressure zone which may allow the design to be reasonable. The 6-inch gate valve should be examined for corrosion and stainless steel bolts when excavated. If mild steel bolts are found it is recommended the bolts on the existing valve and fittings be replaced. The existing 6-inch connection to the watermain is DIP. It is recommended an anode bag and pipe clamp be added to this ductile iron pipe stub if it is left in place. C900 pipe is required per City standards for all hydrant leads and all bends shall be epoxy coated in order to resist corrosion. Appropriate traffic control will be required for any work within the public right- of-way. Engineering 1. Provide top of wall and bottom of wall elevations for entire retaining wall build, which includes retaining wall built below grade, i.e. bottom of wall. 2. Salvage existing topsoil and indicate all proposed stockpile location(s) on the plan. 3. Connection to the existing sanitary sewer manhole will require a core drill and installation of a boot to facilitate a water-tight connection. 4. Appropriate city permits for construction within the public right-of-way shall be obtained prior to construction. Work within city streets requires a traffic control plan. 5. A preconstruction meeting with Public Works and Engineering shall be scheduled by the contractor prior to the connection of any public utilities. 6. All call-outs on construction plans that reference a detail shall be updated to incorporate the sheet the detail is illustrated on and the detail number referenced for construction. 7. Watermain fittings shall be epoxy coated. 8. Hydrant lead pipe shall be C900 PVC. 9. Require Contractor to example the existing 6-inch gate valve identified to remain. If mild steel bolts are in-place on the valve or as part of the fittings the bolts shall be changed out with stainless steel or Cor-Blue bolts. 10. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure and submit proof that permits are received from all other agencies with jurisdiction over the project (i.e. Army Corps of Engineers, DNR, MnDOT, Carver County, MCWD, Board of Water and Soil Resources, MPCA, etc.). June 6th, 2019 MacKenzie Walters Community Development Department City of Chanhassen RE: Agency Review Request, Land Development Proposal: 3300 Tanadoona Drive • This project triggers MCWD’s erosion control and stormwater management rules. o This project is occurring on a site greater than 5 acres with a less than 40% site disturbance and a 0-9% reduction in impervious surface. Within our stormwater management rules, this category of site is required to incorporate BMPs into their design. • The initial site plan for the dining hall rebuild reduces impervious surface by 0.09% and contends that this reduction constitutes as ‘better site design’ and therefore their BMP and that they are exempt from incorporating additional BMPs. This interpretation stems from a portion of our rules which states “BMPs addressing the potential water resource impacts associated with the proposed activity must be incorporated to limit creation of impervious surface, maintain or enhance on-site infiltration and peak flow control and limit pollutant generation on and discharge from the site. BMPs may include site design, structural and non-structural practices.” [Section 3(d) of our Stormwater Management Rules] • MCWD maintains that they need to incorporate a BMP into their site and that ‘better site design’ is not able to constitute the BMP. Section 3(d) does have site design and non-structural BMPs listen in order to align with the definitions in the MN stormwater manual, however, Staff require that a structural BMP be incorporated into the plans to fulfill the intent of the rule. • It is Staff’s interpretation of the Stormwater Management Rule that a better site resulting in 10% of a reduction in impervious surface would constitute as a non-structural BMP and would be exempt from Stormwater Management rule requirements. If a site with a reduction in impervious surface falls into the 0-9% range, they are required to incorporate a structural BMP. Site design that reduces impervious by this amount cannot count as the BMP because it’s the 0-9% reduction range that sets the parameter for requiring the BMP. • They are not required to incorporate a BMP that has a specific treatment scope or capture amount. MCWD staff recommend that they incorporate an above ground bioretention basin such as a rain garden. This could also provide an important educational opportunity for campers to learn about a tangible and specific aspect of environmental stewardship beyond the usual “reduce, reuse, recycle” and facilitate discussions on the purpose of stormwater capture as well as native vegetation and habitat for pollinators. The following notes from my review of the Camp Tanadoona submittal: • Full Fire Alarm and Full Sprinkler system required in the new structure. • Hydrant locations are acceptable. • No parking Fire Lane signs and yellow curb paint will be needed on both sides of all roads under 26 feet in width, which looks to be all roads on the plan. Parking only in designated parking spaces. • The gravel roadway will need to support up to 75,000 lbs for fire apparatus. Information will need to be provided to show this road structure will be sufficient. • All landscaping, rocks, planters, etc will need to be kept back away from the roadway to allow for proper turnaround of emergency apparatus. The turn around lane is 12 feet in width, will need more room on each side as well as the entrance to allow for proper maneuvering.

Generous: Thank you Chairman Weick, commissioners. As you stated this is a site plan review. Control Concepts has approximately a 54,000 square foot office/warehouse manufacturing building that they’re proposing within the Arboretum Business Park which is the property is located at 8077 Century Boulevard. That’s Lot 2, Block 1, Arboretum Business Park 7th Addition. It’s just on the east side of Century Boulevard just south of Water Tower Place at that intersection. The property to the east of it and to the north of it is part of the Bluff Creek primary zone. As part of this development we will be preserving that area. Again this is site plan review for two story, 54,276 square foot office/warehouse manufacturing building. Previously, last year they came in for a two tenant building and they’ve revised their plans and come in with a slightly smaller building. Now there’s only going one tenant in this building. The property is guided in the Comprehensive Plan for office industrial uses. It’s zoned planned unit development (PUD) for the Arboretum Business Park so it has it’s own design standards. Office manufacturing and warehouse uses are permitted in the PUD district. Again the site plan, the site is approximately 5 acres in size. This development will have 48 percent coverage on the property. The balance will be open space, green space or other open spaces. As part of this project a trail connection to the Bluff Creek, there’s a wetland trail that goes around the approximately 100 acres of open space that’s in to the east of this site. This is the last segment. There is a small retaining wall as a part of this project. Previously they had a 17 foot tall one. Now they’re down to 4 foot tall one so they shifted the building farther south and reduced it’s expansion to the east. Building Chanhassen Planning Commission – June 4, 2019 2 schematics. This is a, how it would appear from Century Boulevard. Two story building. The main entrance is on the left side of the northwest corner of the building. Building materials consists of exposed aggregate, concrete panels. The top part is exposed aggregate. The bottom part would be racked finish and then there’s darker portions of the building that are sand blasted finish so it helps to give it a little bit of articulation and artistic value so. Again two levels of offices on the western third of the building approximately will be two story. The rest of it is a one story structure. The north elevation of the building was something that we were a little concerned about. The original presentation had a long wall that was broken up by a lot of architectural detailing. The bottom portion of this shows that they’re adding another area of sand blasted concrete panels so it will get a darker color out of that and also they’ve combined groupings of windows up for overstory windows in the warehouse portion of the building. We believe that this change in the elevation has improved it’s aesthetic value. The dark gray, the light gray and the medium gray plus the red highlight at the entrance and then if you add in the landscaping will provide an opportunity to have a pleasing industrial building so again the, like I said the western portion of the building has office space in it and meeting areas and break rooms and then the northern part of the eastern side of the building is warehouse space and the southern part is the manufacturing area. At present the second floor office area is just an open space and they’re going to use it for storage until they need to expand their offices. As part of the site again the grading for the trail system into the City’s wetland trail and then they’ve reduced the grading on the site. There’s a reduction in the amount of retaining walls that will be required on this development. They’re proposing two access off of Century Boulevard, the northerly one and the southerly one. This, well it disappeared. This will be a 16 foot drive aisle so it will be for emergency access and for truck access out of the site. Primary entrance will be in the northwest corner of the development. Parking is located on both the west, north and there’s a few parking spots on the east side of the building. The truck docks are located on the east side of the building so they’ll be screened from public view on Century Boulevard. There’s not a whole lot of issues in the grading from an engineering standpoint. Landscaping plan, they’re slightly deficit in the amount of landscaping in this north buffer yard. They’ve been working with the City Forester to do improvements and so I don’t believe that will be an issue. Again the grading of the grade will be, create a nice contrast in the building outlay. I should point out that in the southwest corner of the building they have a patio area for their employees and then again the trail connection. Access out on the, pedestrian access out onto Century Boulevard and from the main entrance of the building. Sewer and water services are available in Century Boulevard. They’ll be brought into the southern part of the building so no problems with that. Storm sewer improvements, they’re using an underground system for infiltration purposes and for pre-treatment. It discharges out to the City owns this outlot up on the north side. There is one condition in there that they look at the discharge point in there and evaluate how that will impact our outlot and the stormwater. There’s two issues involved with that. Is there sufficient capacity in the existing stormwater pond for the water that’s coming in and will the discharge from the pipe create a channelized system and so we want them to evaluate that prior to beginning construction. And then they have another drain system, underground drain system that connects up to the front and again it all discharges up to the north. Like I stated before 48 percent of the site will be covered with hard surface and the balance would be some green area so generally in industrial Chanhassen Planning Commission – June 4, 2019 3 developments you have a 70 percent coverage so they’re doing very well. And again the engineering wanted me to put this in. Right now water sheet drains across this property so all the water that’s coming off this site goes over a large area into the wetland. Into the natural area. There’s some wetland out there and then the City’s stormwater pond. This is a pond we would need to have evaluated to make sure that it’s sized correctly to accommodate their development. And then one other thing that the engineering staff has requested the applicant determine is there’s a slight offset where the entrance is from Water Tower Place and they want a traffic engineer to look at it to make sure that traffic movement is efficient and safe for everyone so we, it’s one of the condition number 1 under the engineering design. With that staff is recommending approval of the site plan 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. Weick: Jump in if you have any questions. Anybody? From the presentation. No? Nothing. With nothing we would invite the applicant or developer to have the opportunity to give a presentation. Welcome. Applicant’s Representative: Good evening commissioners. Thanks for your time this evening. Bob thank you for your presentation. I don’t know if we have a lot more to add. I think Bob did a very good job of going through there and explaining the design that we’ve proposed here. One thing I would mention, and you may have said it and I just maybe didn’t catch it is in the revised elevation that we did submit one of the things we did is we did a little bit of articulation with the parapet height just to add some visual interest. So I think that would be the only other thing that I might add. Oh they’re putting it up there. There it is. So being that it’s a warehouse use we had some limitations in terms of what the actual function is going on the inside and how else we could achieve articulation so through color choice and creating vertical elements and extending the parapet and reorienting the windows we were hoping that we’re achieving some articulation. That’s all I have. Weick: Thank you. Any questions of the applicant? Wow. Tietz: How much did you, I know Bob mentioned and I didn’t look back at the old presentation. What’s the footprint and how much did you reduce the footprint of the building? Applicant’s Representative: Do you remember that number offhand. I think it was. Audience: I think it was only about, I think maybe 5,000 square feet on the actual footprint of the building. But the location of the building and how the parking lot was structured the. Aanenson: Maybe you can come up to the microphone. Audience: Yeah so the location of the two tenant building it made it really, really difficult to achieve you cost effective structure to deal with the 20 foot retaining wall. It just wasn’t working so we went back to the drawing board. Made it a single tenant. Moved where the Chanhassen Planning Commission – June 4, 2019 4 loading docks were. You know changed the parking lot to a fire lane. Skeech the building south as much as we could and that really reduced everything. Just everything just kind of worked out better so we’re excited about it. Tietz: Yeah it looks a lot better. Hope it works for you guys. Audience: So thank you. Weick: Thank you. At this time we would open the public hearing portion of this item. If anyone would like to come forward please do so. Seeing nobody come forward I will close the public hearing and open for commissioner discussion. Sounds like there isn’t much. Undestad: Like everybody said it’s a much better layout for engineering and it looks like they’re going to get what they want out of the building so I think it looks nice. Weick: Yeah. Tietz: Yeah agree, no problems. Weick: I mean you had concerns John about just the path right and the retaining wall. Tietz: …precedent with that huge retaining wall and the path was like here and all the snow was going to come down on top of the path and you know parks got their, a much better path connection and there’s a modest retaining wall so there’s some savings there which I’m sure in construction so yeah it looks like a good use finally of that site. Weick: Perfect. We could certainly entertain a motion if there’s no other discussion. Undestad: I’ll make a motion. The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends approval of the site plan for a 54,276 square foot two story office/warehouse manufacturing building subject to the conditions of approval and adopting of the Findings of Fact and Recommendation. Weick: We have a valid motion. Do we have a second? Tietz: I’ll second. Weick: Second from Commissioner Tietz. Any further discussion on the item?

Weick: Thank you Bob. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Undestad noted the verbatim and summary Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting dated May 21, 2019 as presented. COMMISSION PRESENTATIONS. None. ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS. Weick: Kate. Aanenson: Yes just give you a couple council updates. The one thing that we put in here is there is a, Solomon Real Estate Group has been working on the Applebee’s site. They bought that piece of property and they had restrictions on it. There was when that project went in, where the Walgreen’s was there was a bank so there was a condition put across, there were 4 properties there. Or actually, yeah 4. The tire store, the Chipotle and Buffalo Wild Wings and then Applebee’s and then the bank. They all had a common interest in parking and access and so there was restriction on there for no additional banks even though the bank had left, that restriction still lies in place so Solomon went to the City Council and said can we have that restriction removed. They were interested in doing a bank and then the council asked them to give hard consideration to doing a restaurant so they’ve been working on trying to land a restaurant. They’ve got an end user in mind but based on some of the parking things, how Applebee’s operated and then the restaurant they would like to put there, they want additional parking and in order to accommodate that would have to be across the street. So we’ve been working with them. The staff. Their engineer. Our engineer working on looking at a site plan there for additional parking. I’m not sure that would come to you. It’d probably be just administrative and mostly remodel but what they’re looking at is a significant you know million dollar reinvestment and remodeling on that site if they can make it go so that’s what the Chanhassen Planning Commission – June 4, 2019 9 council’s working on right now so stay tuned on that one so. Then for your schedule your next meeting is June 18th and we have Camp Tanadoona coming on that site plan so they’re redoing the lodge building so they’re taking that one down so they’re getting through the process now because as soon as camping season ends, which is I believe Labor Day weekend, they want to start moving dirt and it’s you’ll see the plans. A very, very nice plan how they’ve redone that and it’s got a lower level walkout so it accommodates not only if there’s storms or something. Also the people that stay there that they’ve got a kitchen area for them to eat in too so. Tietz: Kate I have a question. Aanenson: Yeah. Tietz: Are they connected to sewer and water? Aanenson: Yes that’s a good question. They did connect to sewer a couple years ago. They had a failing system and we let it go on and I think like 2 years ago we insisted that they had to fix that so they are connected and with this project they will do water yep. So that was one of the things that they’ve been raising funds for to get all that to put in place so yeah, thanks for asking. So that will be on your meeting on the 18th. I don’t think we have anything else on for that meeting right now. Then there’s no meeting, historically we don’t have on the fourth of July because there’s so much going on up here and a lot of people are traveling. And then on the 16th we’re revisiting the design standards which is Chapter 18 of Subdivision and that includes cul- de-sac lengths and some of those things. The Fire Marshal has commented on that and so you’ll be reviewing those and giving recommendations to the City Council. In addition to that Xcel has a tower as a conditional use that is over a certain height and they’ll need that. Just wanted to let you know we are working through, there’s some properties that are trying to do subdivisions. Maybe some are up to, you saw one last time a split at your last meeting but these other ones, maybe it might be 4. Might be 10 lots. They’re all complicated so, so if you’re interested in any of those some of those may be going to the City Council for work sessions first. Again this ties into the whole discussion of how we connect streets and the like. When we’ve got a stub street and we don’t connect them so that will be going on. We also have our annual retreat. Excuse me tour we’ll be taking with the other commissions so I think one of the places we want to be able to stop at, and they should be far enough along that we can potentially get in the building and that would be the Venue so we can get inside that building so we’ll work on that but if anybody has something that they’d really like to see let me know. The last update I give you is we have been working with Avienda. We did have a meeting with them again last week. They did get their NPDES permits. They are getting their watershed approvals so they’re working to proceed to grading. I know I keep saying that and lose some credibility there so hopefully by the end of July so everything’s lining up that way that they would start grading in July. Tietz: So the crop that’s planted. Chanhassen Planning Commission – June 4, 2019 10 Aanenson: It’s just a question. I’ve gotten a lot of calls on that too. So I think it depends on the dollar so that would be compensated so yeah. I think there’s also someone that enjoys planting so put that out there so. So if you’re on the tractor you might as well keep, so I’ll keep you posted on that but right now I’ll give you a heads up on that one too. Oh thank you. There is a variance appeal on your item that was heard last time. Both parties appealed. The applicant and the neighbors so that is going to the City Council on the 10th. So they have wo unhappy parties so. So that’s it so. Tietz: I have one question Kate. Aanenson: Yeah. Tietz: You mentioned parking at the old Applebee’s site. I read with interest the council work session on the proposed breweries on that site that was going to be a dental office. Aanenson: Yes. Tietz: How does parking work on that site and how does access work for all those folks that might want to go to the brewery? Aanenson: Correct. So they have to do a traffic study too so there’s a purchase agreement put together. That was one of the things they have to look at. One was a little bit smaller. Had more parking than the other one. One user had probably little bit more robust plan so I think the council kind of went with the smaller plan but they have to demonstrate how that works too so that’s great. Tietz: I just remember that dental office that was really kind of a contorted parking situation with a kind of spearhead site. Aanenson: Correct. Tietz: And it wasn’t, you know there was land but not very developable. Aanenson: Right. So it will be a challenge. I think long term wise we looked at other ways to service that. You know we’ve talked about if the, if we could connect where we come in to the restaurant, Potbelly and the like if that would come up where Valvoline is or one of those, you could make that street connection there too and try to eliminate some of those turn movements. It’s difficult there because of the train tracks there so providing some additional, just better sight lines and some of those sort of things so we’re looking at that too so you guys will see that project for sure. So that will come in for review so they’re working on just putting together a more detailed business plan and some of their landscaping detail and so they’re using the same architect on that one that Camp Tanadoona is so it’s a nice looking building. I think that was one of the goals too that we had. A nice presence because that’s a gateway to downtown so. Just Chanhassen Planning Commission – June 4, 2019 11 status on projects. As you can see the Venue is zipping right along and now the Aldi’s has got their steel up and they’re both hoping to open by September and if you’ve gone by Lake Riley Crossings the senior housing, that’s coming right along too so both those projects are kind of wrapping up so starting some other ones here pretty soon so that’s all I had. Tietz: Now that you mentioned senior housing I just drove by the other day on 7 and 41, I noticed the Beehive is now a… Aanenson: Yeah they bought their franchise with Beehive out of Utah so now. Tietz: So now it turned into Pendleton? Aanenson: Yep. And they also wanted to expand. I think they wanted to just preserve most of that area that was Mr. Gowan’s property with the hostas yep. They had talked about that and that they might do a better regional ponding there so they would add on that third phase and then do a significant regional pond that which they could use for all that area just south of 7. That drains that way. Yep, yep. And then also I don’t know if you’ve noticed the North Coop is open now. That new restaurant there. You can see it was a remodel.
