Landscaping
The parking lot construction at Water Tower Place and the expansions of the existing lots all
require appropriate landscaping as prescribed by city ordinance.
2970 Water Tower Place Required Proposed
Vehicular use landscape area 6,624 sq. ft. > 6,624 sq. ft.
Trees/parking lot 26 trees 20 trees
6 existing trees
Islands or peninsulas/parking lot 16 islands/peninsulas 16 islands/peninsulas
The applicant meets ordinance requirements.
Access, Lot Frontage and Parking Location
The applicant is proposing to construct a new parking lot with access off Water Tower Place.
The existing access to 2970 Water Tower Place will be utilized for the proposed parking lot,
along with an existing access at 2932 Water Tower Place, which is also owned by Life Time. A
traffic assessment was completed by Max Moreland, P.E., P.T.O.E. with Spack Consulting. The
assessment concluded that the intersection at Water Tower Place and Century Boulevard will
operate under an acceptable level of services based on the anticipated increase in vehicle
volumes due to the proposed development and usage. The report also concluded that the
sidewalk on the north end of the parking lot should be extended west in order to improve
pedestrian circulation. The applicant is encouraged to follow the recommendations within the
Spack traffic memorandum.
Miscellaneous
The addition of parking spaces requires additional accessible parking spaces be provided per the
Minnesota Accessibility Code. The additional accessible spaces shall be distributed to locations
at or near the accessible entrances of the four Life Time buildings noted on the plan.
While only tangentially part of the site plan review for the auxiliary parking lot at 2970 Water
Tower Place for the Life Time campus, staff has a few comments regarding the parking lot
revisions on 2900, 2901 and 2902 Corporate Place, which will be reviewed and permitted
through a separate building permit application, due to the inclusion of retaining walls to
accommodate the parking expansion.
The parking lot construction at Water Tower Place and the expansions of the existing lots all
require appropriate landscaping as prescribed by city ordinance. A breakdown of the minimum
requirements for each parcel is shown in the table below.
Planning Commission

Page 6 of 10
2900/2902 Corporate Place Required Proposed
Removal of 11 trees to create
additional parking
11 trees 11trees
The applicant is including landscape peninsulas in the new parking area. The applicant meets
ordinance requirements.
2901 Corporate Place Required Proposed
Vehicular use landscape area 2,400 sq. ft. 2400 sq. ft. on adjacent
parcel
Trees/parking lot 9 trees 0 trees in parking
14 trees in buffer
Islands or peninsulas/parking lot 5 islands/peninsulas 2 islands/peninsulas
Staff recommends that three peninsulas be added to the proposed parking area and all five
peninsulas shall be landscaped with one tree each.
The city needs to know how long the hydrants will be down on the south side of Life Time
health club during construction. They are removing two and placing them in different areas. The
spacing is still ok, but we would need a plan from them showing how long these would be out of
service.
EASEMENTS
Standard drainage and utility easements (D&Us) meeting city requirements were recorded on the
property with the plat for Arboretum Business Park 5th Addition (a 10-foot D&U on the south
and west sides, and a 5-foot D&U on the north and east sides). A temporary turnaround
easement in favor of the city was recorded at the end of Water Tower Place, formerly known as
Coulter Boulevard, over the temporary cul-de-sac in 1998. As no connection has yet been made
to State Highway No. 41 from Water Tower Place, the temporary turnaround easement (public
right-of-way) will remain as described in the recorded document A230789.
UTILITIES
Public utilities are available to the site. However, no sewer or water connections are proposed.
The storm water system will tie into the existing storm water infrastructure for the Arboretum
Business Park development.

GRADING
The applicant has proposed grading the site to drain
from the southwest corner to the northeast corner.
Drainage will be routed to a series of catch basins
connected to a private conveyance system which
routes stormwater to an underground stormwater
filtration system. Generally speaking, the site is
relatively flat, and grading will not require
extraordinary conditions.
DRAINAGE AND 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 proposed redevelopment will need Riley-
Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District
(RPBCWD) permits.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Article VII, Chapter 19 of City Code describes the required stormwater management
development standards. Section 19-141 states that “these development standards shall be
reflected in plans prepared by developers and/or project proposers in the design and layout of site
plans, subdivisions and water management features.” These standards include abstraction of
runoff and water quality treatment resulting in the removal of 90% total suspended solids (TSS)
and 60% total phosphorous (TP). The applicant has proposed a sub-surface stormwater
management system which includes stormwater filtration prior to discharge to the existing
private conveyance system adjacent to the site. The applicant has provided a stormwater
management report for this approach with the required hydraulic and hydrologic data and
computations. Based on the information provided, this will be an acceptable method given
infiltration is not feasible due to the sandy lean clay (hydrologic soil group D) in-situ.

UTILITIES
As the proposed development is the construction of a parking lot and there are no proposed
facilities that would require sanitary or water services, no extension of public utilities or private
services are required at this time. There currently exists a 6” PVC sanitary sewer service stubbed
to the property that shall be abandoned and plugged by the developer’s contractor. Coordination
of this work shall be done through the Public Works Department (952-227-1300) 48-hours prior
to commencement of work.

Technical Memorandum
To: Kristie Elfering, Elfering & Associates
From: Max Moreland, P.E., P.T.O.E.
Date: July 24, 2019
Re: Traffic Assessment – Chanhassen Life Time Parking Improvements
Purpose of Report
Life Time Fitness in Chanhassen, Minnesota is proposing to add additional vehicle parking to its
campus located on the southeast corner of Arboretum Boulevard and Hazeltine Boulevard.
Some of this additional parking will be located south of the Life Time Fitness and will be
accessible off of Water Tower Place. This memorandum documents the traffic impacts due to
these parking changes at the Century Boulevard/Water Tower Place intersection.
An additional corporate office building will also be added to the s ite. This memorandum does
not address the traffic impacts of that development.
Conclusions
The traffic impacts of the proposed development were studied, and the principal findings and
recommendations are:
• The parking changes for this site will route approximately 70 additional vehicles through
the Century Boulevard/Water Tower Place intersection in the a.m. peak hour and
approximately 140 additional vehicles in the p.m. peak hour.
• Queues on eastbound Water Tower Place at the stop at Century Boulevard are
anticipated to grow but will remain at acceptable lengths.
• The sidewalk on the north side of the parking lot leading to the stairs should be extended
to the western edge of the parking lot.
• Mark a crosswalk from the landing at the top of the stairs to the sidewalk around the
main fitness building.
Proposed Parking Changes
Life Time will be adding parking to both the main parking area accessible from Corporate Place
as well as the southern parking area accessible from Water Tower Place. Focusing on this
southern area, the parking capacity will increase from the exist ing 126 spaces to 300 spaces;
an addition of 174 parking spaces. This parking area at 2932 Water Tower Place will be utilized
by the building at that location, owned by Life Time, as well as the greater Life Time campus.
A site plan is attached showing the layout of this parking area.

Traffic Volumes
Intersection video was collected at the study intersection of Century Boulevard/Water Tower
Place under normal weekday conditions in June 2019. Using this video, a 48-hour turning
movement count was obtained at the study intersection. The data from the two days was
averaged to provide the base traffic for a “typical weekday”.
The average a.m. and p.m. peak hours were found to be from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 to
5:30 p.m. The turning movement count data from the counts is contained in fifteen-minute
intervals in the Appendix.
Based on the “typical weekday” turning movement volumes, the current daily traffic volumes
on each study corridor are:
i. 5,500 vehicles per day on Century Boulevard, north of Water Tower Place
ii. 4,900 vehicles per day on Century Boulevard, south of Water Tower Place
iii. 2,200 vehicles per day on Water Tower Place
Trip Generation
To determine how many vehicles may be using the parking area off of Water Tower Place and
therefore traveling through the Century Boulevard/Water Tower Place intersection,
proportional estimates can be made based on the total traffic for the site.
With the new layout of the site, there will be 857 parking spaces available for the Life Time
Fitness building. Additional parking is available for the office spaces, but those are not factored
in for the sake of this analysis. The parking area off of Water Tower Place will include 300
spaces, which is equivalent to 35% of the total parking for the fitness center. The current fitness
center contains 604 total parking spaces with 126 spaces, or 21%, located in the Water Tower
Place lot. With an additional 14% of the total parking being moved to the Water Tower Place
lot, it can be assumed that an additional 14% of total site trips will be relocated to that lot going
through the Century Boulevard/Water Tower Place intersection. This is a conservative estimate
assuming full utilization of this parking area. If the main northern parking area is not full, less
traffic will likely divert to this southern lot putting less traffic through the study intersection.
The traffic demand for the fitness center is estimated based on the data and methods published
in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition. The ITE
Trip Generation Manual is a compilation of traffic data for various land uses from existing
developments throughout the United States. Table 1 presents the trip generation for the fitness
center based on the square footage of the fitness center building plus the square footage of
the building at 2932 Water Tower Place. The amount of new traffic added to the Century
Boulevard/Water Tower Place intersection, 14% of the total traffic, is also shown in Table 1.

A trip distribution pattern was developed for the added traffic going to and from the Water
Tower Place parking area. This pattern is based on the existing traffic volumes at the study
intersection and was found to be:
i. 65% of the generated traffic to/from the north on Century Boulevard.
ii. 35% percent of the generated traffic to/from the south on Boulevard.
Traffic forecasted to be added to the Water Tower Place lot was assigned to the area roadways
per this distribution pattern.
Intersection Vehicular Analysis
Capacity analyses are performed for the study intersection to determine if it performs poorly
during peak periods and needs improvements such as turn lanes or an upgrade in traffic
control. The existing and forecasted turning movement volumes along with the existing
intersection configuration and traffic control were used in this analysis. The calculations were
done in accordance with the Highway Capacity Manual, 6th Edition using the Vistro software
package. The full calculations for each study scenario, including Level of Service (LOS) grades,
delays and queue lengths, are included in the Appendix.
Chart 1 shows the 95th percentile queue lengths on the eastbound stop sign controlled
approach at the study intersection. Average delays are not shown for intersections with side
street stop sign control because the vast majority of vehicles going through the intersection are
on the main roadway and have zero delay, which leads to low overall average delays. At side
street stop sign controlled approaches to busy roadways, the average delay for all the vehicles
on the approach often exceeds 60 seconds. This can be the case for a few vehicles waiting at
the stop sign where improvements would not be justified for the low traffic volume. Based on
our experience, improvements are not warranted at these types of intersections until the 95 th
percentile queue at a stop sign is at least five vehicles. More often than not, mitigation can wait
until these queues are over ten vehicles.

As shown in Chart 1, the queues on Water Tower Place are anticipated to grow with this parking
layout change but remain within a reasonable queueing range. No intersection modifications
would be needed due to this traffic adjustment.
Site Plan Review
The concept site plan contained in the Appendix was reviewed to determine if the plan provides
appropriate circulation and minimizes conflicts. Following are key transportation elements of
the concept site plan:
• Car Circulation: Two access points will be provided on Water Tower Place. Turnaround
points are provided as needed throughout the lot.
• Truck Circulation: Trash/recycling pickup in this lot is located in the northeast corner. It is
recommended that any trash or truck deliveries/pick-ups be scheduled outside of peak
periods (7-9 A.M. and 4-6 P.M.) to minimize truck and passenger vehicle interactions.
• Pedestrian/Bicycle Circulation: With the destination of many of the vehicles parking in
this lot being located in the main northern lot, there will be a significant number of
pedestrians walking to/from the stairs on the northern portion of this lot. It is
recommended that the sidewalk leading to the stairs be extended to the west end of
the lot along the north side. Once pedestrians reach the top of the s tairs, it is
recommended that a crosswalk be marked from the landing at the top of the stairs to
the sidewalk around the main fitness building. A wayfinding sign leading visitors to the
main entrance of the Fitness building or the office buildings may be beneficial.

CHANHASSEN PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 20, 2019
Chairman Weick called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Steve Weick, Mark Undestad, Mark Randall, Michael McGonagill,
Doug Reeder, and Laura Skistad
MEMBERS ABSENT: John Tietz
STAFF PRESENT: Bob Generous, Senior Planner; and George Bender, Assistant City
Engineer
PUBLIC HEARING:
LIFE TIME FITNESS PARKING LOT ADDITION SITE PLAN REVIEW.
Weick: Bob, if you want to take it away.
Generous: Yes thank you Chairman, commissioners. As you stated we have a public hearing
tonight is a Life Time Fitness parking lot, Planning Case number 2019-09. It’s site plan review
for 184 space parking lot expansion. This site, the applicant is Life Time and LTF Real Estate
Company is the property owner. As you stated this item is going to Planning Commission, or to
City Council next Monday night so it’s a quick turnaround. The property is located at 2970
Water Tower Place. It’s Lot 1, Block 1, Arboretum Business Park 5th Addition. It’s just to the
west of this is Highway 41. There’s about a 14 foot drop down from the right-of-way to this site.
At some time in the future if 41 is ever lowered that roadway will connect and there’ll be a right-
in/right-out at that location. Previously this site had been used for an outdoor exercise facility
but now they’re coming in to provide additional parking for the Life Time campus. They own
the 3 properties to the north of this as well as the office building to the east of it. The site plan
approval for a 213 stall parking lot. They’re adding 184 parking stalls to the site. When the
office building to the east of this was built they provided a row of parking that just intruded onto
this site. There’s a drive aisle that goes down the middle of the two property lines. As part of
the subdivision for the 5th Addition there is cross access and cross easement agreements that
were recorded for the two sites. The property is guided for Office Industrial use. It’s zoned
Planned Unit Development. It’s the Arboretum Business Park Planned Unit Development.
Office and health club parking are permitted uses in the PUD. Not very exciting site plan. It’s a
basic parking lot. They’re complying with all the requirements of our ordinance with it. They’re
trying to come in as part of this we will put other improvements in. Lighting for the parking
area. Landscaping and stormwater improvements. As part of the site plan they don’t show any
signage for the property. However under the zoning they would be permitted to come in with a
monument sign if they so desired. Grading plan. The site is fairly level right now. They’re just
going to grade it out so it drains towards the northeast I believe it is. There will be catch basins
Chanhassen Planning Commission – August 20, 2019

on that side to take the water to the infiltration system. They will be providing quite a bit of
landscaping on this site. I was sort of excited of making this slide because I was able to add both
the legend and the plan together so we can tell what those symbols mean. They provided
overstory parking. The aisles that don’t have any overstory parking in it will have light poles ins
them so we didn’t, we have understory trees that they work out a lot better for everyone. And
landscaping does need to be irrigated so they’ll have to incorporate that. That conflicts with one
of the conditions that engineering had about abandoning the water service so they’d have to
resolve that. As you’ve seen in a lot of new developments the stormwater system is an
underground infiltration system so they’ll have the water go through and be treated and then it
will connect into the existing stormwater system that goes down the hill to Arboretum Business
Park outlot which is an centralized stormwater pond. Staff is recommending approval of the site
plan subject to the conditions in the staff report. I should note that condition number 3 of the
planning conditions should be deleted. It inadvertently got copied from another report and so,
but there’s no articulation in any architecture with this site plan so. And adoption of the Findings
of Fact and Recommendation. With that I’d be happy to answer any questions.
Weick: Anybody can jump in.
Reeder: Mr. Chairman my question is why do they need so much extra parking that we don’t
have now?
Weick: Is that something better for the applicant?
Generous: Yeah I believe the applicant will be able to address that one.
Weick: Can we save that one?
Reeder: Yeah.
Weick: Perfect.
McGonagill: So Bob how many, if you can tell me, how many parking spaces are there today
and where are they proposing to go to? I’m trying to get a percentage of growth on it.
Generous: On this specific site or overall?
McGonagill: It looks like to me it’s a corporate site. They’re all…
Generous: Yeah the applicant has those numbers I believe. And I believe business has been
good for them and so that’s why they need those.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – August 20, 2019
3
McGonagill: Well yeah it’s always busy there but outside of this, I mean refresh my memory.
The last growth, the last plan that was approved there for the expansion was when? 2008?
2017?
Generous: Yeah, for expansion?
McGonagill: Well you know they made some building recently here.
Generous: Yeah those were approved like 10 years ago.
McGonagill: Okay.
Generous: And then they built the health club and the first office building and then they started
the second office building and finally are in for completing that project.
McGonagill: And so that second office building was approved when?
Generous: Oh about 10 years ago. It was a two phase development.
McGonagill: Okay thanks.
Generous: I think I had that in the history.
McGonagill: 2004, thanks.
Generous: So 15 years ago. Yeah August, 2004 it was approved.
Weick: Any other questions for the City? Are you thinking Mr. McGonagill?
McGonagill: Oh no I’m done.
Weick: Okay I didn’t know if you were pondering something else or not. Okay. Yeah go
ahead.
Skistad: I had several things. I’m just wondering is that a second, are the office buildings just
Life Time office buildings or are they going to be rented out to other businesses?
Generous: I believe they’re all for the corporate operations. And they actually reduced the floor
space for offices on the second office building to provide additional interior parking stalls so.
They’ve got too many people driving.
Weick: Okay, well it sounds like we have a few questions for the applicant but I will certainly
allow you to make a presentation first if you want to add anything.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – August 20, 2019
4
Justin Schmidt: So we’re just doing a quick, sorry.
Weick: Oh that’s okay.
Justin Schmidt: One sec.
Weick: Yeah take your time. Well don’t take your time but take some time.
Generous: I need to…for all this stuff.
Reeder: Mr. Chairman when they got approval for the second office building they’re building on
every corner which was parking approved with that? I mean I assume it was. I mean.
Generous: Mr. Chairman yes. They meet our standards down below. It’s just their operation is
such that they need a lot more. They need more.
Reeder: I mean because parking lots don’t pay a lot of taxes.
Generous: No.
Weick: Yeah.
McGonagill: I assume they’re still within the code for hard pan with this. Like the number of
impervious surfaces percentage, I didn’t look at that.
Generous: Yes they comply with the ordinance requirement. And also as part of it getting the
stormwater improvements so they’re getting the pre-treatment of the water before it goes into our
system.
McGonagill: Okay thank you.
Skistad: So does that save us money from a, a state standpoint if we treat it. If it’s treated first
and then it goes into the stormwater.
Generous: George I don’t know if we can answer this. Pre-treatment saves the City any money
in our system?
Bender: I don’t know 100 percent for sure but I don’t believe it does.
Skistad: It seems like it should, doesn’t it?
Bender: Like I said I couldn’t say for sure.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – August 20, 2019
5
Generous: I would venture that we save because they are responsible for the maintenance of that
system as opposed to the City having to do those so. Long term.
Weick: Well welcome.
Justin Schmidt: Thank you.
Weick: Yeah you bet.
Justin Schmidt: I’m Justin Schmidt, a manager for Life Time. We didn’t prepare any
presentation but I came here of course to answer any questions and we were just doing some
quick math on that existing parking versus the proposed. So existing parking for the campus, so
that would be the 3 buildings that would be on let’s say the Life Time campus plus the Water
Tower Place piece, that’s 1,221 stalls.
Weick: Okay.
Justin Schmidt: We’re adding about 24 percent more for a total of 1,519 because we’ll have
some head in stalls on the Life Time lots we’ll call them on the north and the south side and then
we’ll have the Water Tower Place addition, that’s the easiest way to sort of make sense. As far
as additional parking, yeah to Bob’s point. We’ve grown. We’ve expanded staff wise in
incredible amounts so that’s why we’re building Corp 2 and then just realizing that parking was
not going to work as far as coinciding with how well the fitness piece has been doing.
Weick: So that kind of answers why, I think why so much parking is needed.
Reeder: Well I’m still not sure. Are we exceeding what we require for parking? Is that what
I’m hearing?
Justin Schmidt: Yeah. Yeah requirement baseline yes.
Reeder: And what you’re saying is that you’re 200 spaces short from your daily requirement for
parking?
Justin Schmidt: We believe so. Yes.
Reeder: Based on?
Justin Schmidt: Well it’s talking with traffic engineers and just internal data.
Reeder: Okay.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – August 20, 2019
6
Justin Schmidt: In order to help relieve parking too we actually, Corp 2 was supposed to be 3
levels of office. The first level is actually still parking so we actually took out the congestion of
one level of that building just to alleviate some of that parking. Because if Corp 2 was built out
we’d need even more parking.
Reeder: Corp 2 is the one?
Justin Schmidt: Sorry that’s the building that’s under construction.
Reeder: Under construction now.
Justin Schmidt: Correct, yep.
McGonagill: So is your plan to build it out and so will you be back here again doing this again?
Justin Schmidt: Hopefully not. It’s just parking now.
McGonagill: If you build out the Corp 2 to become offices or is it always going to be parking?
Justin Schmidt: So the first level of Corp 2 is going to be parking forever. Indefinitely. You
know to my knowledge and then the second and third levels will be occupied for office. So we’ll
have a basement, underground parking in the basement. The first level will be at grade parking
inside and then second level and third level will be occupied by office.
McGonagill: So I guess the question I have, you have a 24 percent miss in parking spots. What
busted?
Justin Schmidt: Well the thing that put it over the edge was the construction of Corp 2 and the
mobilization area that’s needed to construct that. You know we missed out on all that surface
stalls that are currently being occupied by construction equipment.
McGonagill: But that will be taken care when construction is done right?
Justin Schmidt: Yes. And so then indefinitely when Corp 2 was built just we were going to have
to find a parking solution.
McGonagill: So is this a temporary parking solution since you’re taking up these corporate stalls
with construction equipment? Once that’s done then those stalls re-up again.
Justin Schmidt: We’ll still those.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – August 20, 2019
7
McGonagill: So I’m not following you. The bust was you just said that it was due to the fact
that you had construction equipment on existing parking lot and you took it out of service for a
while.
Justin Schmidt: Sorry, and in addition with Corp 2 being built that was just going to cause an
additional parking constraint.
McGonagill: But you didn’t put that in the original design for Corp 2?
Justin Schmidt: I don’t think, I don’t think we anticipated how well the athletic piece parking
wise was going to take up.
Reeder: Mr. Chairman when we considered Corp 2 did we have a parking plan that said they
gave us this much parking as they’re required to have?
Generous: Yes under, Mr. Chairman under city code they did meet the requirements.
Reeder: With or without their first floor parking?
Generous: Without that first floor parking. They put an additional.
Reeder: So that building stands on it’s own without this lot?
Generous: Yes. From a zoning standpoint but from their operation standpoint it’s not meeting
their needs.
Skistad: And so that was 10 years ago. So 10-15 years ago, okay.
Weick: And there was another question, I think Commissioner Skistad asked, and I think we
know the answer but these are Life Time only uses for these buildings.
Justin Schmidt: Correct.
Weick: You’re not renting out space to other people.
Justin Schmidt: No.
McGonagill: But if you had to take the growth between the 24 percent, the 24 percent swag that
you’re going to, how much is consumed, of that is really being consumed by users as opposed to
your staff so you think? The growth. I’m just trying to get a feel for it.
Justin Schmidt: I would attribute a majority to staff. I guess I couldn’t give you a percentage. I
would say a majority. A high majority.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – August 20, 2019
8
McGonagill: Where are they parking today since you don’t have it?
Justin Schmidt: There’s a temporary parking lot in this alpha field right now.
McGonagill: Oh in the.
Justin Schmidt: Where we’re proposing to park. To put in an asphalt parking lot.
Reeder: And how many cars fit in that?
Justin Schmidt: I think, I mean it’s not striped. It was just a temporary lot to relieve congestion
during construction.
Reeder: Are we talking 200 or?
Justin Schmidt: It’s probably 150. It’s not as big as what the buildout is proposed to be.
Reeder: Okay. Okay, alright. That’s helpful. I mean it’s refreshing to have somebody provide
as much parking as you actually need.
Weick: I would agree with you.
Reeder: You know they put a parking ramp up…on this huge parking lot too.
Weick: Well they’re expensive. I won’t speak for you.
Justin Schmidt: They are.
Weick: Good.
Kristie Elfering: And if I can just interject.
Weick: Yes please.
Kristie Elfering: My name is Kristie Elfering. I’m with Elfering and Associates. We assisted
Life Time with the site civil work.
Weick: Welcome.
Kristie Elfering: And I’m going to throw a little wrinkle in there I guess that we weren’t aware
of, that Bob was mentioning in his presentation is a requirement for irrigation. We actually had a
meeting with the watershed this morning and they were pretty adamant that we not irrigate it and
Chanhassen Planning Commission – August 20, 2019
9
that’s going to be part of their requirements so I guess we would look for a, I don’t know if that
would be a variance then or.
McGonagill: So does that affect the trees?
Kristie Elfering: No. So all of the trees are planning on being there and then what we’re going
to do is there will be a rock, I’m going to call a trench I guess beneath it that will connect into the
storm sewer system so the roots will be able to go down into the ground and draw from our
underground storm system and so that was why it was required to not be infiltrated. That we’re
not adding additional water on the top. That we’re meeting kind of our requirements through
that.
Generous: And that type of system would meet the irrigation requirements.
Weick: Okay.
Kristie Elfering: So I guess yeah I just wanted to be clear that we weren’t going against our.
Weick: Anything is written right? Okay.
Kristie Elfering: Okay just wanted to be clear because I just talked to the watershed and I didn’t
want to go back to them and be like oh now we’re irrigating.
Weick: Thank you. That’s very good information. Well thank you very much. Appreciate it.
At this time we will open the public hearing portion. Anyone wishing to come forward and
speak an opinion. Seeing nobody come forward I will close the public hearing and open this
item for commissioner discussion. I’ll start. I will say as a member of Life Time Chanhassen I
have had to leave, I’ve driven in. I’ve driven around and I’ve had to leave because I could not
find a parking. And I was like ah, I’m not going to circle around and wait right, so I just, I went
back home. So it happens. It happens at this club. It happens at other clubs too as a matter of
fact. I would say that’s a good problem to have probably. But I think any additional parking,
whether it be for members or for employees is probably needed for sure and will help alleviate
for them you know some headaches I would imagine. Other thoughts or comments?
Undestad: Looks good to me. Growth is always good.
Weick: Certainly entertain a motion if someone is so.
Undestad: Well I’ll make a motion. That the Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends
approval of the site plan for 184 space parking lot expansion subject to the conditions of
approval and adopts the Findings of Fact and Recommendation. And Bob do we need to do
anything with number 3 in there?
Chanhassen Planning Commission – August 20, 2019
10

Specifications and Detail Plates.
2. On sheet C2.00: Existing utilities illustrated on Water Tower Place do not match city records, the
developer should request appropriate shape files and as-builts from the city to accurately depict existing

2932 Water Tower Place is not illustrated, draintile in the area is not illustrated, etc.).
3. On sheet C3.00: Field locate the existing sanitary sewer service stub and have the plans updated to the
exact location; electrical wiring is not illustrated between lights to be removed, show all electrical wiring
and call-out removal; plans indicate the reuse and salvage of existing gravel, illustrate location of stockpiles
either on sheet C3.00 and sheet C6.00.
4. On sheet C5.00: From the “Utilities Symbols” the existing and proposed storm manhole appear the same,
adjust for clarity; from the “Utilities Symbols” there are multiple line types/symbols that are unused in the
plan sheets, remove any unused line types for clarity, also ad symbol for “light grey” pavement that is
hatched within majority of work area; add ADA compliant ramps; storm structures (catch basins, storm
manholes, etc.) that have inverts should be labeled with direction of invert (N, S, E, W) connection type
(IN/OUT); illustrate locations of access pits for Stormtech system; RCP pipe from CB 6 to STMH 5 shall
be 15” diameter; adjust symbol if storm infrastructure is called out as STMH as currently all STMH’s are
symbolized as proposed catch basins; show connection to outlet control structure and reference detail
and/or sheet the detail is located on for clarity (STMH 7); reference city detail #5207 for driveway entrance
off Water Tower Place; correct name to Water Tower Place; connection to existing STMH on southeast

existing impervious surface, adaptively manage with bio logs and other approved erosion control BMPs
when tying in new and existing bituminous; show stockpile of salvaged gravel and methods for erosion and
sediment control; remove call out for existing and proposed contour and add line types to symbols.
