There is potential future expansion area which would not expand the footprint of the building but rather enclose the outdoor storage area. The applicant is proposing the use of rock face block. The PUD requires that all walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping. Horizontal bands, windows, and stepped back elevations accentuate the building. The overall design is of a high quality providing variation and detail on the facade of the building. The outdoor storage area is surrounded by the same material as the building and contains windows, which makes it an extension of the building. The PUD ordinance prohibits outdoor storage areas unless it has been approved under the site plan review and be screened with masonry fences and/or landscaping. This treatment is in keeping with the PUD requirements and will actually look like an extension of the buildings. The preliminary plat for Chanhassen Business Center was approved on January 13, 1992. As part of this application, one of the outlots will be replatted into 2 lots. The subject building is proposed to be constructed on Lot 2, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 4th Addition. This subdivision is consistent with the preliminary plat and staff is recommending approval of it. Approval of this site plan is contingent upon final plat approval of the Chanhassen Business Center 4th Addition by the City Council. The conditional use permit application deals with locating multiple buildings on a single lot. The ordinance states that Groupings of buildings may only be permitted by conditional use permit. Even though the buildings will have the exterior appearance of a single building and will probably become a single building when the outdoor storage is enclosed in the future; at this time, they are separate buildings and need a conditional use permit. Staff believes that the proposed development meets the standards established as part of the PUD and is recommending approval of the site plan, conditional use, and subdivision subject to the conditions contained in this report. BACKGROUND On January 13, 1992, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for the Chanhassen Business Center as shown on the attached site plan. The PUD was amended on February 8, 1993 to allow for a church as a permitted use and the final plat for phase I of the project was approved. On April 24, 1995, the Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition, subdividing Outlot C into 7 lots, was approved by the City. Eden Trace March 4, 1998 Page 3 On September 25, 1995, the City Council approved the replat of Outlot A into 4 Lots, Chanhassen Business Center 3rd Addition. On April 13, 1998, the City Council will review replatting Outlot D into 2 lots. The subject building is proposed to be constructed on Lot 2, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 4th Addition. The Chanhassen Business Center is an industrial/office park on 93.7 acres. The original plat consisted of 12 lots and 2 outlots. The ultimate development for this proposal was to have a total of 700,000 square feet of building area with a mix of 20% office, 25% industrial and 55% warehouse. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW The proposed building is situated parallel to Lake Drive West. Access is gained off of Lake Drive West. Parking is located to the east, west and north of the proposed building. Direct views of the docks, which are located to the southwest between the two buildings, will be screened by the building. Staff believes the proposed layout of the building maximizes the screening of the docks. In addition, the applicant is proposing to add landscaping along the parameter of the site to maximize the screening. The building height is 18.8 feet, located 170 feet from the east, 50 feet from the south, 80' from the west, and 80' from the north property line. Materials used on the structure will be rock face block accented by horizontal bands. The building has several entrances and the walls are stepped back in several locations. Windows accent the buildings and the outdoor storage walls. Staff believes that the applicant should be commended for the overall layout of this site plan and the screening of the outdoor storage area. The applicant has not shown the trash enclosure location. Staff discussed this issue with the applicant and was informed that it will be located between the two buildings and screened from views. The overall design is of a high quality providing variation and detail on the facade of the building. Eden Trace March 4, 1998 Page 4 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The development standards will remain the same as previously approved with the PUD. a. Intent The purpose of this zone is to create a PUD light industrial/office park. The use of the PUD zone is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive proposal. All utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for development shall proceed through site plan review based on the development standards outlined below. b. Permitted Uses The permitted uses in this zone should be limited to light industrial, warehousing, and office as defined below. The uses shall be limited to those as defined herein. If there is a question as to whether or not a use meets the definition, the City Council shall make that interpretation. 1. Light Industrial. The manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling,packaging, or testing of goods or equipment or research activities entirely within an enclosed structure, with no outside storage. There shall be negligible impact upon the surrounding environment by noise, vibration, smoke, dust or pollutants. 2. Warehousing. Means the commercial storage of merchandise and personal property. 3. Office. Professional and business office, non-retail activity. FINDING: The proposed uses of light industrial and office are consistent with the parameters established as part of the PUD. As to the outdoor storage, Section F, Landscaping and Screening, states "Storage of material outdoors is prohibited unless it has been approved under site plan review. All approved outdoor storage must be screened with masonry fences and/or landscaping." This element is consistent with the guidelines of the ordinance. c. Setbacks In the PUD standards, there is the requirement for landscape buffering in addition to building and parking setbacks. The landscape buffer on Audubon Road is 100 feet south of Lake Drive. The PUD zone requires a building to be setback 50 feet from the required landscape buffer and public right-of-ways. There is no minimum requirement for setbacks on interior lot lines. The following setbacks shall apply from the right-of-way: Building Parking Eden Trace March 4, 1998 Page 5 Required(interior road system) 25' 15' Required(exterior road system 100' 100' Provided Lake Drive West 75' 25' Provided from Audubon Rd. 160' 100' FINDING: The proposed development meets or exceeds the minimum setbacks established as part of the PUD. d.

Staff has estimated the required parking at 78 spaces. The applicant has provided 78 spaces. The applicant has shown proof of parking to accommodate the future expansion of the building. The parking requirements are in keeping with ordinance requirements. Building Square Footage Breakdown for entire development Office 20% 120,700 sq. ft. Manufacturing 25% 150,875 sq. ft. Warehouse 54.09% 326,425 sq. ft. Church 0.91% 5,500 sq. ft. Total 100% 603,500 sq. ft. Eden Trace March 4, 1998 Page 7 FINDING: The proposed development meets the development standards established as part of the PUD. The city has previously approved the following square footage within the Chanhassen Business Center: church- 5,500 square feet; office -43,603 square feet (National Weather Service, Power Systems, Paulstarr Enterprises and Construction Heaters, KNS Investments, Postal Service); and warehouse -45,692.5 square feet(Power Systems, Paulstarr Enterprises, Postal Service and Construction Heaters). e. Building Materials and Design 1. The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural standards and site design. All mechanical equipment shall be screened with material compatible to the building. 2. All materials shall be of high quality and durable. Masonry material shall be used. Color shall be introduced through colored block or panels and not painted block. 3. Brick may be used and must be approved to assure uniformity. 4. Block shall have a weathered face or be polished, fluted, or broken face. 5. Concrete may be poured in place, tilt-up or pre-cast, and shall be finished in stone, textured or coated. 6. Metal siding will not be approved except as support material to one of the above materials or curtain wall on office components or, as trim or as HVAC screen. 7. All accessory structures shall be designed to be compatible with the primary structure. 8. All roof mounted equipment shall be screened by walls of compatible appearing material. Wood screen fences are prohibited. All exterior process machinery, tanks, etc., are to be fully screened by compatible materials. 9. The use of large unadorned, prestressed concrete panels and concrete block shall be prohibited. Acceptable materials will incorporate textured surfaces, exposed aggregate and/or other patterning. All walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping. 10. Space for recycling shall be provided in the interior of all principal structures for all developments in the Business Center. Eden Trace March 4, 1998 Page 8 FINDING: The applicant is proposing the use of rock face block. The PUD requires that all walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping. The plans include horizontal accent bands surrounding the building. The building design is of a high quality and meets the intent of the PUD design requirements. f. Site Landscaping and Screening 1. All buffer landscaping, including boulevard landscaping, included in Phase I area to be installed when the grading of the phase is completed. This may well result in landscaping being required ahead of individual site plan approvals but we believe the buffer yard and plantings, in particular, need to be established immediately. In addition, to adhere to the higher quality of development as spelled out in the PUD zone, all loading areas shall be screened. Each lot for development shall submit a separate landscaping plan as a part of the site plan review process. 2. All open spaces and non-parking lot surfaces shall be landscaped, rockscaped, or covered with plantings and/or lawn material. 3. Storage of material outdoors is prohibited unless it has been approved under site plan review. All approved outdoor storage must be screened with masonry fences and/or landscaping. 3. The master landscape plan for the CBC PUD shall be the design guide for all of the specific site landscape developments. Each lot must present a landscape plan for approval with the site plan review process. 4. Undulating or angular berms 3' to 4' in height, south of Lake Drive along Audubon Road shall be sodded or seeded at the conclusion of Phase I grading and utility construction. The required buffer landscaping may be installed in phases,but it shall be required where it is deemed necessary to screen any proposed development. All required boulevard landscaping shall be sodded. 5. Loading areas shall be screened from public right-of-ways. Wing walls may be required where deemed appropriate. FINDING: Existing conditions on site include boulevard trees planted along Audubon Road and Lake Drive West. No tree removal will take place. Existing trees located in proposed construction areas will be transplanted to permanent locations. Landscaping requirements for the proposed development include buffer yard plantings along Audubon Rd., landscaping for the parking lots, and boulevard trees along Lake Drive West. The Eden Trace March 4, 1998 Page 9 pplicant meets or exceeds required quantities of planting materials for parking lot landscaping (20 trees) and boulevard trees (11 trees) along Lake Drive West. Buffer yard requirements are a minimum 30' Standard C for the 475' of frontage along Audubon. Planting totals for the buffer yard are 10 overstory trees, 24 understory trees,and 24 shrubs. Existing trees in that area include 10 overstory trees. The remaining 24 understory and 24 shrubs will be required of the applicant and staff proposes they be planted adjacent to the parking lot. Along Audubon Road parallel rows of boulevard trees has been established on either side, understory and shrub planting would interrupt the consistency of the plantings and detract from the overall design of the street landscape. The additional required screening would work well of the west side of the parking lot. Staff recommends the understory trees and shrubs be planted in groupings near the edge of the parking lot. g. Signage 1. All freestanding signs be limited to monument signs. The sign shall not exceed eighty (80) square feet in sign display area nor be greater than eight(8) feet in height. The sign treatment is an element of the architecture and thus should reflect with the quality of the development. The signs should be consistent in color, size, and material throughout the development. The applicant should submit a sign package for staff review. 2. Each property shall be allowed one monument sign located near the driveway into the private site. All signs require a separate permit. 3. The signage will have consistency throughout the development. A common theme will be introduced at the development's entrance monument and will be used throughout. 4. Consistency in signage shall relate to color, size, materials, and heights. FINDING: The applicant has not provided details regarding signage for the site. All signs must receive a permit prior to installation. h. Lighting 1. Lighting for the interior of the business center should be consistent throughout the development. 2. A decorative, shoe box fixture (high pressure sodium vapor lamps) with a square ornamental pole shall be used throughout the development area for area lighting. 3 Lighting equipment similar to what is mounted in the public street right-of-ways shall be used in the private areas. Eden Trace March 4, 1998 Page 10 4. All light fixtures shall be shielded. Light level for site lighting shall be no more than 1/2 foot candle at the property line. This does not apply to street lighting. FINDING: The applicant has not provided lighting details or calculations for this development. However, city ordinance and the PUD standards provide sufficient control to assure compliance to an established standard. GRADING & DRAINAGE GRADING The site was previously graded in conjunction with Chanhassen Business Center 1st Addition. Upon review of the preliminary grading plan, it appears building and parking areas will blend into the existing land form. The site will be re-graded to prepare the building pads and parking lot areas. If exporting or importing of earthwork materials is necessary,a haul route and traffic control plan will need to be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to construction commencing. The site contains an existing earth berm along Audubon Road. The berm will only be disturbed as a result of utility extensions to the project. No other berms are proposed. DRAINAGE In conjunction with Chanhassen Business Center, a comprehensive storm water drainage system was constructed to address runoff from this site. No on-site ponding will be required with this development. The plans propose on utilizing existing stormwater services to convey stormwater runoff from the site into the City's storm drainage system. Staff does recommend that a storm sewer line be extended from the northeasterly driveway to Lot 1 for future service. A 20-foot wide drainage and utility easement shall be dedicated on the final plat over this storm sewer line. Staff is aware of an ongoing drainage problem on the Weather Bureau site as a result runoff from this property. The drainage problem will be resolved with development of this property. The applicant will need to submit to the City detailed storm drainage calculations and a drainage area map for a 10 and 100-year storm event, 24-hour duration for staff review and approval in conjunction with final plat consideration. Depending on the calculations, additional catch basins may be warranted. Surface Water Management fees are not applicable to this subdivision since the property was preliminary platted prior to the SWMP fees being incorporated. In addition, all the necessary storm drainage improvements have been constructed. ACCESS Eden Trace March 4, 1998 Page 11 STREETS The project is proposed to be accessed through two new driveway access points off of Lake Drive West. Staff has reviewed the location of the driveways and are comfortable with their locations. The driveways in the parking lot provide good traffic circulation around the building site. There is an existing 6-foot wide concrete sidewalk on the north side of Lake Drive West. Upon review of the parking lot plan, it appears the drive aisle widths are too narrow. According to City Code Section 20-1101 and 20-1118, two-way drive aisles shall be 26-feet wide when adjacent to parallel parking. All drive aisles and parking stalls shall be redesigned to meet city code requirements. All driveway access points on Lake Drive West shall incorporate the City's industrial driveway detail apron (Detail Plate No. 5207). This will also increase the driveway radii onto Lake Drive West. There are existing street lights along Lake Drive West that are not shown on the plans. The developer should verify that the access points will not be in conflict with the street lights. The applicant shall be responsible for any relocation of street lights in conjunction with site improvements. The conditions of approval for Chanhassen Business Center addresses future traffic signals at the intersection of Trunk Highway 5 and Audubon Road. At that time, staff believed that the installation of signals would be necessary in the next few years and a condition that the developer shall be responsible for a share of the local cost participation of this signal on a percentage basis, based upon traffic generation and full development of this site in relation to the total traffic volume on Audubon Road. In addition, staff required security to guarantee payment of the developer's share of the traffic signal for Phases I, II, and III. It should be worked between the parties whose responsibility it will be to provide the security escrow for the developer's share of the traffic signal of this phase. The City currently has escrow in the amount of$5,000 from the developer of Chanhassen Business Center(Dirlam/Betty O'Shaughnessy) for this traffic signal. At this point, staff will not require any additional escrow for the traffic as long as the $5,000 escrow is maintained. A traffic signal is proposed to be installed in conjunction with the Trunk Highway 5 upgrade proposed in the 2000-2002. UTILITIES Municipal utility service is available from Lake Drive West and Audubon Road. The plans propose on extending sanitary sewer and water service from Audubon Road and Lake Drive West. According to city records, there are no sanitary sewer services extended to the property line. The plans propose on cutting open Lake Drive West and extending a service from the existing sewer line. Staff believes that the site can be adequately served from the sanitary sewer Eden Trace March 4, 1998 Page 12 line along Audubon Road. This would eliminate the need to cut open Lake Drive West. The applicant shall redesign the sanitary sewer layout to utilize the existing sanitary sewer along Audubon Road. The site does have water service extended to the property line from both Audubon Road and Lake Drive West. Again, staff believes that the site can be adequately served by water from the existing water service in Lake Drive West. The connection to Audubon Road should be discouraged due to the fact it will impact the existing trail, berm and landscaping. In addition, it may require turning off the city water line in Audubon Road during connection which would affect a number of residents. The City's Fire Marshal has reviewed the fire hydrant location and has requested some modifications to the plans. The utility plan shall be revised in accordance with the Fire Marshal's recommendations. The proposed sanitary sewer and water improvements shall be installed by the developer and/or their assignee. The utility improvements with the exception of a portion of the storm sewer will be considered private and not maintained by the City. These utilities will be inspected by the City's Building Department. The utility improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates and/or State Plumbing Codes. This property has been previously assessed for sewer and water improvements under City Project No. 91-17. However, according to city ordinance, the property may be subject to additional sewer and water hookup charges at time of building permit issuance. Sewer and water hookup charges are determined based on the number of sewer availability charges (SAC units) which is determined by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services upon plan review of the building. The applicant and/or contractor applying for the building permit will be responsible for the sanitary sewer and water hookup charges. 1998 hookup charges for sanitary sewer and water are $1,216 and$1,584, respectively, per unit. MISCELLANEOUS The applicant should be aware that no construction activities may commence on the site until the final plat and development contract has been approved and recorded. LANDSCAPING Existing conditions on site include boulevard trees planted along Audubon Road and Lake Drive West. No tree removal will take place. Existing trees located in proposed construction areas will be transplanted to permanent locations. Eden Trace March 4, 1998 Page 13 Landscaping requirements for the proposed development include buffer yard plantings along Audubon Rd., landscaping for the parking lots, and boulevard trees along Lake Drive West. Applicant meets or exceeds required quantities of planting materials for parking lot landscaping (20 trees) and boulevard trees (11 trees) along Lake Drive West. Buffer yard requirements are a minimum 30' Standard C for the 475' of frontage along Audubon. Planting totals for the buffer yard are 10 overstory trees, 24 understory trees, and 24 shrubs. Existing trees in that area include 10 overstory trees. The remaining 24 understory and 24 shrubs will be required of the applicant and staff proposes they be planted adjacent to the parking lot. Along Audubon Road,parallel rows of boulevard trees has been established on either side, understory and shrub planting would interrupt the consistency of the plantings and detract from the overall design of the street landscape. The additional required screening would work well of the west side of the parking lot. Staff recommends the understory trees and shrubs be planted in groupings near the edge of the parking lot. LIGHTING/SIGNAGE The applicant has not provided lighting details or calculations for this development. The applicant has not provided signage details for the project. However, city ordinance and the PUD standards provide sufficient control to assure compliance to an established standard. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: (1) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides, including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may be adopted; (2) Consistency with this division; (3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing or developing areas; (4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the development; Eden Trace March 4, 1998 Page 14 (5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special attention to the following: a. An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general community; b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; c. Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and neighboring structures and uses; and d. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking. (6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. Finding: The proposed development is consistent with the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, the design guidelines established as part of the Chanhassen Business Center PUD with the modifications outlined in the staff report, and the site plan review requirements. The site has few existing natural amenities due to previous development in the area. The site design is compatible and harmonious with the approved industrial developments throughout the city.

FINAL PLAT FOR CHANHASSEN BUSINESS CENTER FOURTH ADDITION The preliminary plat for Chanhassen Business Center was approved on January 13, 1992. As part of this application, Outlot D will be replatted into 2 lots. The subject building is proposed to be constructed on Lot 2, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 4th Addition. This subdivision is consistent with the preliminary plat and staff is recommending approval with conditions. Eden Trace March 4, 1998 Page 17 Approval of the site plan is contingent upon final plat approval of the Chanhassen Business Center 4th Addition by the City Council. Chanhassen Business Center 4th Addition Compliance Table: Lot# Lot Size - Acres 1 2.66 2 4.84 Subtotal 7.5 The City has an 8-foot wide bituminous trail adjacent to Audubon Road through the proposed subdivision. According to the preliminary plat, there is no trail easement recorded. In conjunction with the replatting of Outlot D, it is recommended that a 20-foot wide trail easement be dedicated to the City over the proposed lots. In conjunction with site improvements for the subdivision, a storm sewer line will need to be extended from Lot 2 to the west line of Lot 1. A drainage and utility easement should be dedicated on the final plat over Lot 2 for this extension. The minimum width shall be 20-feet wide. There is an underlying development contract with Chanhassen Business Center that should be amended to include this new 4th Addition. It is therefore recommended the applicant enter into an amended development contract with the City for this phase. EROSION CONTROL The preliminary erosion control plan is in general conformance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. Staff recommends that rock construction entrances be installed and maintained at all access points until the parking lot and drive aisles are paved with a bituminous surface. Catch basins shall also be protected with hay bales and silt fence or rock construction dikes, as well. Staff recommends that additional erosion control fence be placed downstream of the utility extension from Audubon Road. In addition, erosion control fence needs to be installed along the westerly property line to the existing berm in the southwesterly corner of the property. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP) Storm Water Quality Fees The SWMP has established a water quality connection charge for each new subdivision based on land use. Dedication shall be equal to the cost of land and pond volume needed for treatment of the phosphorus load leaving the site. The requirement for cash in lieu of land and pond construction shall be based upon a schedule in accordance with the prescribed land use zoning. Values are Eden Trace March 4, 1998 Page 18 calculated using market values of land in the City of Chanhassen plus a value of$2.50 per cubic yard for excavation of the pond. SWMP water quality charge is $4,633/acre for industrial developments.-The proposed development would be responsible for a net area of 4.84 acres which results in a water quality connection fee of$22,424. The applicant has provided on-site water quality ponds in accordance to the SWMP in Chanhassen Businesses Center 2nd Addition; therefore, these fees have been waived. Storm Water Quantity Fees The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average city-wide rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land acquisition, proposed SWMP culverts, open channels and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage. Industrial developments have a connection charge of$4,360 per developable acre. The proposed development would then be responsible for a net area of 4.84 acres which results in a water quantity connection charge of$21,102.

Staff recommends the preliminary plat be named Chanhassen Business Center 4th Addition. The City has an 8-foot wide bituminous trail adjacent to Audubon Road through the proposed subdivision. According to the preliminary plat, there is no trail easement recorded. In conjunction with the replatting of Outlot D, it is recommended that a 20-foot wide trail easement be dedicated to the City over the proposed lots. In conjunction with site improvements for the subdivision,a storm sewer line will need to be extended from Lot 2 to the west line of Lot 1. A drainage and utility easement should be dedicated on the final plat over Lot 2 for this extension. The minimum width shall be 20-feet wide. There is an underlying development contract with Chanhassen Business Center that should be amended to include this new 4th Addition. It is therefore recommended the applicant enter into an amended development contract with the City for this phase. e City of Chanhassen.A growing community with dean lakes.qualir)school;,a charming downtown,thriving businesses,and beautiful parks.A great place to live. work,and pl Sharmin Al-Jaff,Planner II March 9, 1998 Page 2 GRADING The site was previously graded in conjunction with Chanhassen Business Center 1st Addition. Upon review of the preliminary grading plan, it appears building and parking areas will blend into the existing land form. The site will be re-graded to prepare the building pads and parking lot areas. If exporting or importing of earthwork materials is necessary, a haul route and traffic control plan will need to be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to construction commencing. The site contains an existing earth berm along Audubon Road. The berm will only be disturbed as a result of utility extensions to the project. No other berms are proposed. DRAINAGE In conjunction with Chanhassen Business Center,a comprehensive storm water drainage system was constructed to address runoff from this site. No on-site ponding will be required with this development. The plans propose on utilizing existing stormwater services to convey stormwater runoff from the site into the City's storm drainage system. Staff does recommend that a storm sewer line be extended from the northeasterly driveway to Lot 1 for future service. A 20-foot wide drainage and utility easement shall be dedicated on the final plat over this storm sewer line. Staff is aware of an ongoing drainage problem on the Weather Bureau site as a result runoff from this property. The drainage problem will be resolved with development of this property. The applicant will need to submit to the City detailed storm drainage calculations and a drainage area map for a 10 and 100-year storm event, 24-hour duration for staff review and approval in conjunction with final plat consideration. Depending on the calculations,additional catch basins may be warranted. Surface Water Management fees are not applicable to this subdivision since the property was preliminary platted prior to the SWMP fees being incorporated. In addition, all the necessary storm drainage improvements have been constructed. EROSION CONTROL The preliminary erosion control plan is in general conformance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. Staff recommends that rock construction entrances be installed and maintained at all access points until the parking lot and Sharmin Al-Jaff, Planner II March 9, 1998 Page 3 drive aisles are paved with a bituminous surface. Catch basins shall also be protected with hay bales and silt fence or rock construction dikes, as well. Staff recommends that additional erosion control fence be placed downstream of the utility extension from Audubon Road. In addition,erosion control fence needs to be installed along the westerly property line to the existing berm in the southwesterly corner of the property. UTILITIES Municipal utility service is available from Lake Drive West and Audubon Road. The plans propose on extending sanitary sewer and water service from Audubon Road and Lake Drive West. According to city records, there are no sanitary sewer services extended to the property line. The plans propose on cutting open Lake Drive West and extending a service from the existing sewer line. Staff believes that the site can be adequately served from the sanitary sewer line along Audubon Road. This would eliminate the need to cut open Lake Drive West. The applicant shall redesign the sanitary sewer layout to utilize the existing sanitary sewer along Audubon Road. The site does have water service extended to the property line from both Audubon Road and Lake Drive West. Again, staff believes that the site can be adequately served by water from the existing water service in Lake Drive West. The connection to Audubon Road should be discouraged due to the fact it will impact the existing trail, berm and landscaping. In addition, it may require turning off the city water line in Audubon Road during connection which would affect a number of residents. The City's Fire Marshal has reviewed the fire hydrant location and has requested some modifications to the plans. The utility plan shall be revised in accordance with the Fire Marshal's recommendations. The proposed sanitary sewer and water improvements shall be installed by the developer and/or their assignee. The utility improvements with the exception of a portion of the storm sewer will be considered private and not maintained by the City. These utilities will be inspected by the City's Building Department. The utility improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates and/or State Plumbing Codes. This property has been previously assessed for sewer and water improvements under City Project No. 91-17. However, according to city ordinance, the property Sharmin Al-Jaff, Planner II March 9, 1998 Page 4 may be subject to additional sewer and water hookup charges at time of building permit issuance. Sewer and water hookup charges are determined based on the number of sewer availability charges (SAC units) which is determined by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services upon plan review of the building. The applicant and/or contractor applying for the building permit will be responsible for the sanitary sewer and water hookup charges. 1998 hookup charges for sanitary sewer and water are $1,216 and$1,584, respectively, per unit. STREETS The project is proposed to be accessed through two new driveway access points off of Lake Drive West. Staff has reviewed the location of the driveways and are comfortable with their locations. The driveways in the parking lot provide good traffic circulation around the building site. There is an existing 6-foot wide concrete sidewalk on the north side of Lake Drive West. Upon review of the parking lot plan, it appears the drive aisle widths are too narrow. According to City Code Section 20-1101 and 20-1118, two-way drive aisles shall be 26-feet wide when adjacent to parallel parking. All drive aisles and parking stalls shall be redesigned to meet city code requirements. All driveway access points on Lake Drive West shall incorporate the City's industrial driveway detail apron(Detail Plate No. 5207). This will also increase the driveway radii onto Lake Drive West. There are existing street lights along Lake Drive West that are not shown on the plans. The developer should verify that the access points will not be in conflict with the street lights. The applicant shall be responsible for any relocation of street lights in conjunction with site improvements. The conditions of approval for Chanhassen Business Center addresses future traffic signals at the intersection of Trunk Highway 5 and Audubon Road. At that time, staff believed that the installation of signals would be necessary in the next few years and a condition that the developer shall be responsible for a share of the local cost participation of this signal on a percentage basis, based upon traffic generation and full development of this site in relation to the total traffic volume on Audubon Road. In addition, staff required security to guarantee payment of the developer's share of the traffic signal for Phases I, II,and III. It should be worked between the parties whose responsibility it will be to provide the security escrow for the developer's share of the traffic signal of this phase. The City currently has escrow in the amount of$5,000 from the developer of Chanhassen Business Center Sharmin Al-Jaff,Planner II March 9, 1998 Page 5 (Dirlam/Betty O'Shaughnessy)for this traffic signal. At this point, staff will not require any additional escrow for the traffic as long as the$5,000 escrow is maintained. A traffic signal is proposed to be installed in conjunction with the Trunk Highway 5 upgrade proposed in the 2000-2002. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APROVAI, Subdivision 1.

(21 PHYSICAL CHARACTER.: The site was previously graded as part of the Woodridge Heights Development. The existing house on Lot 14, Block 3, Woodridge }- Heights will be demolished. Some of the trees surrounding the farmstead will be cleared as part of this addition. 2000 LAND USE PLAN: Low Density Residential Woodridge Heights 3rd Addition March 18, 1998 Page 2 PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The applicant is proposing to replat four lots from the First Addition into five lots and vacate the previous lot perimeter drainage and utility easements and dedicate new easements with this plat. As part of the original plat, the existing farmstead was being preserved for the property owner and, therefore, a larger than ordinary lot was preserved around the home. Currently,the property owner is relocating outside the community and the existing house is to be razed. The proposed subdivision complies with all city ordinance requirements. Staff is recommending that the city approve the replat of the lots into five lots subject to the conditions of approval. BACKGROUND On March 10, 1997, the City Council approved rezoning of approximately 37.92 acres from Rural Residential (RR) to Single Family Residential (RSF), second reading; final plat approval for 35 Lots, two Outlots, and associated right-of-way, Woodridge Heights Addition. The City Council also approved the preliminary and final plat for the Subdivision of 13.5 acres (Outlots A and B, Woodridge Heights) into 10 lots and 2 outlots, Woodridge Heights 2nd Addition On October 14, 1996,the city granted a one year preliminary plat extension for Shamrock Ridge until November 27, 1997. On August 28, 1995, the City Council approved a one year extension, until November 28, 1996 for preliminary plat for Shamrock Ridge Addition to subdivide 37.92 acres into 45 single-family lots and a wetland alteration permit to fill and dredge wetlands located on site. The applicant received a Wetland Alteration Permit on October 24, 1994 for activities to fill and dredge wetlands as part of the Shamrock Ridge Addition preliminary plat approval. The applicant was granted extensions of this permit in 1995 and 1996. The applicant amended the mitigation design to reduce tree impacts and consolidate the mitigation into one area. GRADING The proposed lots were graded in conjunction with Woodridge Heights. Minimal grading activity is anticipated on Lot 5 to reduce the steep side yard slopes thereby minimizing possible erosion problems and enhancing the topographic features of these lots. The existing tree located on the north property line of proposed Lot 5 will be lost due to the grading activity. All other trees outside of building pads are proposed to be saved. There was an existing home (Ryan)on Lots 3 and 4. The home has been moved and basement will be demolished. DRAINAGE In conjunction with Woodridge Heights, all the necessary storm drainage improvements including ponding were constructed. No additional storm drainage improvements are necessary. Surface Water Management fees were paid with the first phase. Woodridge Heights 3rd Addition March 18, 1998 Page 3 UTILITIES All of the lots have municipal water and sewer service except Lot 3. A one-inch water service and six-inch sanitary sewer service needs to be extended from Briarwood Court to the lot. The utility installation shall be in accordance with the City of Chanhassen 1998 Edition of Standard Specifications and is to be completed and inspected by the City prior to the final lift of asphalt pavement on Briarwood Court. All street restoration shall be completed within 7 days after construction commences. One lane of traffic must be maintained at all times. The contractor shall be responsible for providing the appropriate traffic control. The existing home has been removed and/or demolished. The well and septic system abandonment shall be coordinated with the City's Building Inspection Division. The proposed replat will require the foundation drain tile for Lot 16 to be relocated to accommodate the new lots. The normal water and sewer hook-up fees will apply and will be collected at the time of building permit issuance. A revised as-built grading and utility plan, and tie cards that reflect correct lot numbers and plat name shall be supplied to the City upon completion of the utility work. STREETS Street access is provided from Briarwood Court. PARKS AND RECREATION The proposed plat shall pay an additional park and trail fee for the additional one Lot. Parks and trail fees for the 3`d Addition shall be paid at the rate in effect at the time of building permit application. LANDSCAPING AND TREE PRESERVATION Tree removal resulting from the lot split will not affect the total replacement or reforestation totals for the development. However, the additional lots will be required to have one deciduous tree planted in the front yard setback area corresponding with the landscape plan for the other homes on Briarwood Court. Staff's only concern relates to the landscaping proposed for Lot 1, Block 3 since the lot split results in a reduction of 10 feet in the width of the landscape area bordering Lake Lucy Road. The applicant may not reduce landscaping in this area and will need to prove that there will be sufficient room for the plant material and still allow the homeowner access to the side yard. Woodridge Heights 31-d Addition March 18, 1998 Page 4 MISCELLANEOUS The lots are subject to a development contract under the plat of Woodridge Heights. This new plat will require an addendum to the development contract to include this phase and any conditions of approval. The addendum to the development contract will be considered at the time of final plat approval. The replat will require the vacation of easements of record, i.e. side yard drainage/utility easements.

Box 147 Fax:612-936-7839 Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear Bob: Attached is my review for Woodridge Heights 3rd Addition landscaping and tree preservation. Included are the following documents: Landscaping Requirement spreadsheet; Section of EG Rud Tree Plan obtained from the City;and Section of Woodridge Heights Landscape Plan. A few notes regarding my spreadsheet calculations: • The total site area of Woodridge Heights 3rd Addition is 113,364 SF. • The rough area of the wetland to be deducted is 14,400 SF leaving a net area of 98,964 SF. • The existing canopy coverage includes all of the trees around the former Ryan home as well as the 34 trees installed by Centex as indicated on the landscape plan for Woodridge Heights. I have used the noted areas from the City's copy of the Rud plan. Also, I have assumed a canopy of 1089 SF/tree for the Centex installed trees, consistent with the city ordinance. • Using the above numbers,the Base Line Canopy Coverage equates to 57%. Using the City Matrix for Low Density Residential,the Minimum Canopy Coverage should be 35%or 34,637 SF. Due to the high number of trees planted with Woodridge Heights,we have surpassed the Landscaping Requirement by 20 trees. • We anticipate a canopy loss of approximately 6,520 SF. This would include the clump maple to the south of the Ryan home,the tree pines to the northeast of the Ryan home and one pine behind the Ryan home. All other trees will be saved. Using the City's replacement calculation, seven trees would be required for replacement. • If I understand the ordinance correctly, no additional trees would be required for landscaping or replacement purposes. Please review my calculations and let me know if there are any errors or inconsistencies. I can be reached at 416-2177. Thank you.

Joyce: Thank you Sharmin. Are there any questions for staff at this time? Blackowiak: Sharmin, on page 8. It talks a little bit about the traffic study and I was wondering when you felt that a semaphore would be required on Dell Road and Lake Drive East, and what kind of numbers push that to require a stop light at that point? Al-Jaff: I will defer this question to Dave. Hempel: Mr. Chairman, members of the commission. The City did have a traffic study prepared with the previous development, the CSM Corporation, Chanhassen Business Center East. The study revealed that it's going to take a combination of development, possibly future extension of Dell Road down to 212 to actually trip the warrants for a traffic signal at that intersection. Traffic signal justification report has to be completed and submitted to MnDot in order to have a traffic signal installed there. It would be a joint effort between the two communities of Chanhassen and the City of Eden Prairie to petition basically for this report to occur. Preliminary estimates with the traffic study revealed that they felt through the year 2005, again this is all based on how development occurs in the industrial park. It probably would be a guess of when the traffic semaphores would be warranted. Blackowiak: I've got one more,and again I don't know if it's necessarily a question right now but maybe something we need to think about. Page 11. It talks about the development signs and I don't know if we necessarily want to get into it right now but I just wanted to mention or ask if our sign ordinance should reflect these signs... I don't know if that needs to be talked about right now but I'm sure we're going to hear about it tonight so. Sharmin,do you have any feel? I mean do you feel our current sign ordinance is sufficient or is this something we should be addressing or do we need to just look at it on a case by case basis? Al-Jaff: We can see the merits when a planned unit development and for instance Chanhassen Business Center has a development sign. But they also have over, what is it. 12 industrial buildings within that complex. It`s easy to justify a sign for that entire development. Three buildings only, staff is indifferent. 2 Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 Joyce: Anybody else with questions for staff? Conrad: The rendering we see in front of us from the applicant... Al-Jaff: Rather than two entrances... Conrad: So there's no loading docks and we've met all of the Chanhassen regulations for that determine how an industrial...those regulations or we've met... What determines a 2 versus a 4 foot berm? ...what your comment was, we're going to add 2 to 4 feet to that berm. Al-Jaff: There's an existing berm. The existing berm meanders and overall...added to the existing berm. In some areas this berm is non-existent... Overall, 2 to 4 feet will be added to the entire... If you ask me an average, I would say probably 8 foot average for the entire length. Conrad: Okay. Joyce: ...is that correct? Is that how we're... Does that have to be put into one of the conditions then as far as the... Al-Jaff: They're proposing it. Joyce: They are proposing it? Okay. Al-Jaff: Their proposal. They want to add to the height of the berm to protect, to provide additional screening for the neighbors. Joyce: That's above and beyond what needs to be done I guess in reading that right? Above and beyond the Chanhassen requirements. Okay. Sidney: I'm wondering if you can comment about the lighting plans and... Al-Jaff: Sure. Lighting fixtures that will be used are shielded light fixtures. They meet the ordinance requirements. They do not point to the neighbors. In fact they point down. They will be attached to the building and they will illuminate mainly entrances into the building. And immediate parking areas surrounding the building. Our ordinance requires a maximum of half foot candle at property line. They're going to be below that so that's the lighting. We've also made a point to insure that there is no signage facing the neighbors. And you wanted me to comment about trash enclosures. Currently the applicant intends to put the trash inside...it's picked up. And we realize that that was something that was brought up at the last planning... If they do need to locate it outside, they will be, there's a condition in the staff report that states matching materials to the...building as far as trash enclosure and it would be located within the loading dock area. Does that answer the question? Thank you. 1 Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 Joyce: With that, if the applicant is here and would like to make a presentation of the Planning Commission, please step forward. State your name and address. Greg Voss: Good evening. My name's Greg Voss. I live at 3316 West Awassa Boulevard in Shoreview. I'm the project manager for Welsh Construction and I'm here representing the ownership development group of this property which will be a joint venture, a partnership between Welsh Companies and a pension management fund managed and advised by GE Investments, who are the current owners of the property. I'm here to keep my presentation very short. I have David Patten and John Dietrich representing RLK-Kuusisto, who are our civil engineers and landscape architects and they'll address the site design, landscape issues, lighting issues, grading issues, etc. and Lynn Slodt who is the architect for Genesis Architecture, who is our retained architectural firm who will address the building components of some of the aesthetics and the material selections that we've used in the project. Any questions that are relative to the ownership group, development group, leasing management or construction, I'd be happy to address as needed. In the meantime I'd like to introduce John Dietrich with RLK who can address a number of the site plan issues. John Dietrich: Good evening commissioners. John Dietrich from RLK-Kuusisto. I will be addressing the site design, landscape buffering and composition of the site and then Lynn Slodt will be going into the issues of the architecture, materials, etc. The site design, as we've taken a look at this entire area. It's 39.4 acres, including the existing DataServ-Wang building that is out there. The proposed new subdivision is going to provide four lots. Three on the existing, excuse me. Three proposed for the new area that is essentially east of existing DataServ-Wang building. South of Lake Drive East. East of the Dell Road regional pond and then north of the Lundgren Bros. residential development. The proposed acreage of the three new lots east of the existing parking lot totals 20.5 acres, and of that 20.5 acres, it's divided amongst the three lots. The first lot encompasses the storm water drainage pond and faces Dell Road to the east. The middle building, Building No. 2, Lot No. 2, faces to the west with the office structure with the loading service facilities on an interior court so the buildings 1 and 2 have been designed together so that they may share the loading facilities. The loading facilities are 4 feet below finished floor elevation which adds in their ability to be screened from both Lake Drive East and also from the southern property line. Building No. 3, as we move to the west of the proposed site, is up 10 more feet in height than Building No. 2. We have a 45 foot wide green buffer area, or I guess landscape area that also provides screening, which is 4 feet higher than the loading dock elevation so that the berm as it would come up the hill is higher 4 feet than the loading dock so as you're line of sight would be looking at it from Lake Drive East, you will be seeing basically a green band around that entire Building 3. The site is zoned office industrial in the zoning ordinance and it is also guided for office industrial. This project as we've designed it, meets all of the ordinance requirements in terms of setback, open space, green space, parking ratios, landscape planting units and buffering. The overall green space ratio for the site is 45%versus the required 30%. If I look at just the proposed three lots, we are at 39% green versus 30%green per code. The site as we've taken a look at organizing it. We have three buildings, 75, 75 and 77.000 square feet. We anticipate approximately a 40%office mix within each one of the buildings. The parking ratios have been designed to accommodate a 40% office mix. The buildings themselves have been placed and designed to take full advantage of the site and also 4 Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 provide as much screening as possible. As you look at the buildings, we have set the buildings to the north of the site as far as possible. The buildings themselves are 30 feet south of the right-of- way of Lake Drive East. We have not put any parking between the buildings and the roadway so that we will have a continuous green band, 30 feet on our side and 12-14 feet of right-of-way. So it's going to be a continuous green band along the north side of each building. Building No. 3, as Lake Drive starts to bend to the north, will greatly increase in green space. In order to do that we were able to push the building north from the south property line. The code allowed the building to go 50 feet off the property line. Our buildings are 120 feet north of that property line. So we've taken care to move our development north as far as we can and Buildings 1 and 2 by having a combined loading service area, we're able to have multiple screening layers from the south and also from the north. As we would look from the south we have a buffer strip between the southern property line and the loading area between Buildings 1 and 2. Again, that buffer area, in terms of width, is 70 feet. We have increased that distance again from 50 feet that was required under the comp plan. 30 feet that's required under the Buffer Yard D. Buffer yard ordinance. We've put 70 feet in there. We've also looked at increasing that berm from 3 to 6 feet all the way along this entire stretch of the development to add additional screening. We realize it's a different use than the residential so we're trying to make this fit and we think we've exceeded the ordinance requirements by having a greater width, by planting the plant materials to a 100%code requirement. We have 144 trees on this site along the southern buffer. That's what is quote, required by code. Code also says only 75%of those plant units need to be planted. 25%by adjoining property owners. We said we don't want to do that. We're going to do 100% of the plant units. Get them in there. Do them. Irrigate them. Make this development full and complete so that we have the buffering and the landscape materials fully within our control and under our maintenance agreements. The height of the berm is at a minimum, 5 feet above the parking lot. In some areas it's 13 feet above the parking lot. The berm as we will go along is anywhere from 3 to 10 feet above the finished floor elevation. The buildings need to sit and step up as they would move from east to west. Lake Drive East in terms of elevation rises 16 feet from the eastern entrance up to the entrance closest to where Building No. 3 would be accessed so we need to balance stepping these buildings up and at the same time we're raising that berm up along the south property line. In terms of the plant materials, we felt it was important that we look at as many conifer trees as we could. The plan that's being represented here tonight, and also that was handed out, does include the 36 additional trees which we were short in the code review. We have added those. We said we put them in and of those 36 trees we have put 90% of them into 6 foot conifers. We felt again it's important to have full time green screening for this buffer yard area. The loading area between Buildings I and 2 are also screened from Lake Drive East. In terms of elevation, we're showing a height berm approximately 7 feet above the roadway elevation. On elevation EE, we're showing a roadway elevation, or a berm height of approximately 6 feet above the roadway elevation and we have also placed plant materials, landscaping on top of those berms. So we are cognizant of trying to screen this facility. It's a loading office/warehouse facility. It will have multiple tenants. It is not a distribution, high volume type facility. Mr. Voss could speak to that type of characteristic of how they are coordinating this type of development. And with that I would like to turn it over to Lynn Slodt for the architecture, unless there's some questions. 5 Planning Commission Meeting - March 4, 1998 Joyce: Does anyone have any questions for Mr. Dietrich? The only question I had, and just to review. You're saying that you're going to be solely responsible for all the plantings and the bermings that are placed on the south side of that? John Dietrich: Yes. All of the plant materials are within quote, our property dimensions and we feel it's, we're able to maintain the existing plant materials that are out there. Add berm height to those and then plant behind them. Joyce: The only other question I had, I'm just throwing this out. You're mentioning green bands around all the buildings and I can see that you've done that with the one exception. The west side of Lot 3. Between the Control Data. John Dietrich: There is a 10 foot yard between the two parking lots. In there. So in terms of green space, it will be a 10 foot width between the two parking lots. As we would move between. Joyce: I don't know what the requirements are for parking on that, on Control Data but when I was out there today, there sure was a lot of parking and it just seemed like that this green, one green band was an afterthought. While you had all these nice little segments of landscaping between the other sites, there's a little strip right there. John Dietrich: We have, I failed to mention, we are encroaching into the existing parking lot approximately 60 feet so we will be moving into that parking lot and taking David, 60? 90 feet into that parking lot so we will be consuming some of that additional parking stall space that's currently in hard surface area and so we are moving into the existing. Joyce: ...their lot smaller. John Dietrich: We're making their lot smaller. Joyce: Oh, that will help. John Dietrich: And we've looked at their code requirements and they will still, I think they need like per code, you know 395 and there will be like 400 stalls left. Joyce: That answered my question because it seemed like a lot of extra stalls, so that does answer my question. Okay. Thank you. John Dietrich: Any other questions? Brooks: How tall are the trees that you plan to put in? John Dietrich: The trees are, at initial planting. we're proposing that they'll be 6 foot conifers and 8 foot conifers along the south side and 2 Vi incli to 3 inch deciduous trees. Overstory trees. 6 Planning Commission Meeting - March 4, 1998 Brooks: And you are taking responsibility if any of the trees don't make it, they're willing to replace them? Al-Jaff: Ordinance requirement. They have to guarantee them. John Dietrich: And there will be an irrigation system. Brooks: I noticed also that some of the residents were concerned about snowplowing. And one of other really noisy things that happens in these areas are when you guys have the sweepers come in to do the parking lots at night. That gets really noisy. Have you worked out with the City yet any, or the neighborhood, the fact that you won't be doing this at 2:00 in the morning? John Dietrich: We have not worked that out. We'll have to make agreements. Brooks: ...going on in the parking lot at 2:00 a.m...as well as snowplowing. John Dietrich: Lynn. Lynn Slodt: Good evening. My name is Lynn Slodt. I'm Vice President with Genesis Architecture. We are the project architects for this particular development and I'm here to address the building materials, the building design coloration and so on. This is basically the same rendering that you have before you. The task that was presented to us was to create an attractive building, to reduce the mass of a building of this size, and our original design pertaining to this was to create a step facade of the building. Of recessing the main entrances along the fronts. Basically the fronts of the building. Also, to vary the panel design, the panel texture to also break up the areas that would be in a single plane. This building, or all of the buildings are basically the same design. They are comprised of three distinct precast textures. The first one being, and I have samples of those here too but, the first texture that we have addressed is along the sides and interspersed between the long ends would be what we call a racked panel which is exposed aggregate. Within that accentuating the glass would be a smooth, flat exposed aggregate panel. I don't know if you can zero in on this but this is the exposed aggregate, racked panel which will create a lot of texture, shades and shadows and that is accentuated on the corners and... The main panel that we are using along the front of the building is this panel here which is very typical... attractive exposed aggregate panel that...really has a smoothness that will really give us a real nice contrast between the panels. The third panel that we're proposing using at the entrances is a flat, smooth panel which almost has the appearance of a plaster, a plaster look that will be painted. The other panels are aggregate, like I said, but these will be painted and these will contain the coloration that I can address in a little bit and they will create a main focal point to the entrances. We have two major entrances that face the parking. The sides of the building that would face the road and the neighbors would be, we have...because my artist put a tree in front of it unfortunately,but we have a pseudo entrance here that could be converted into an entrance, depending on how the property is leased. So we have no, there are...along either, any of the sides of the building. We've demonstrated this.._windows. I guess that basically is the bulk of the building explanation. The coloration, which again might be a little bit difficult to see. We are proposing two colors for the buildings. 7 Planning Commission Meeting - March 4, 1998 What we call Building 1, which is the closest building to the east, and Building 3 which is the western building, would be in this brandy wine color. A burgundy color which would have burgundy accents at the entrances and the middle building would have a teal coloration with the teal accents at the entrance to give each building somewhat of an identity. We are proposing using a bronze frame with a bronze glass and in addition to the pre-cast at the main entrances, to give it more of a human scale. To bring the scale of the buildings down, we are proposing using ribbons of rock face block. Different colors which create stripes along the front, or at those entrances. If you have any other questions? Joyce: There will be no entrances on the south side of this at all? Did I understand, you said looking at a possible entrance on the south side? Lynn Slodt: The only time that we would propose that is if a tenant needed, let's say a tenant needed a fire exit. There would not be any major entrances off of that side, and of course there wouldn't be any to the north. But the design of the building will wrap those ends. Burton: Where are the truck docks actually located on these buildings? On the diagrams, and I was wondering, do you have any renderings or anything like that that show what they are like? Lynn Slodt: The actual, what we have done, and I don't have a floor plan here but the actual locations of the truck docks, as we are proposing one dock per bay of the building. The truck docks will be located along this side of Building No. 3 and this side Building 2. This side Building 1, which creates this common truck dock area. So in this condition, all the trucks are kept within this truck court... Basically it's one dock per bay. Burton: When you say bay, is that the whole side of the building is a bay? Lynn Slodt: A bay is 40 feet in width, as you would move along this building. Initially there's 12 dock doors planned per building. Burton: Oh I see, okay. Brooks: Has the applicant coordinated when the trucks...we don't have any noise at night. Lynn Slodt: Well at this point in time we don't know. This is going to be a multi-tenant building. And we don't know who will be leasing space. But I would assume, if I may, that it could be a condition of a lease. I'd like to think about that and the nature of this type of product doesn't warrant itself to a heavy distribution or heavy manufacturing type use, which is traditionally the type of user that you see with that type of truck activity. Structurally the building is not being designed with the floor slab to support that type of user. The mechanical system and the electrical system infrastructures are not being designed to support that type of user. And candidly, this location in Chanhassen is not ideal for those types of users. This is going to be a fairly expensive type of office/industrial building and quite honestly we will not be able to compete with the surrounding communities with that type of product for that type of user. 8 Planning Commission Meeting - March 4, 1998 So does the potential exist for that type of user to come in? Absolutely. Is it practical to assume they will? I don't think so. Brooks: No, but I'm jaded because I watched Pillsbury...trucks on the street and amazingly enough,they always appear on the street. Lynn Slodt: I do respect that but I mean a number of the features that we're proposing for a facility are in direct opposition to the types of features that those type of users would want to see. Brooks: Comfort factor. We may want to consider that we think about putting something in the lease that spells out, there is no loading...I% outside chance that you get a tenant that wants to load at 2:00 in the morning, those poor people that live right over here. It's not pleasant. Lynn Slodt: I can also I guess address your concerns relative to snowplowing and sweeping. The unfortunate reality of living in Minnesota is when it snows, you've got to move it. And as you contract with these people, they're not exclusive to Welsh. They're not exclusive to anybody. They solicit and sell their services to a number of different people and we'll do the best we can to manage them. We manage, I believe this is accurate, the greatest portfolio of commercial property in the Twin Cities. As far as number of square feet so we do have the opportunity and we will utilize that leverage with our vendor here to try to minimize that impact but if you do get a heavy snow, there's obligations and commitments they make and we're somewhat restricted. Brooks: you know I'll agree with you. There's also public safety consideration. You can't have employees walking in in the morning and hurting themselves. On the other hand, for the parking lot sweeping, I think that doesn't have to be done at 2:00 in the morning, and that's very often when it's done. I think you should really consider having that done on the weekends. Lynn Slodt: Well we can talk to our management company, which will be Welsh Companies, and I think that's a reasonable request. We can accommodate that without any difficulty. John Dietrich: With the, on the presentation here we basically have gone through the issues that we have addressed. We would like to just emphasize that we have taken care to try and design this site as compatibly as we possibly can. It has always been zoned office industrial. Guided for office industrial and we have tried to make the best situation as we possibly can with the berming, the landscaping, and by taking a look at what we can do to enhance that southern landscape berm and increase it wherever possible. In terms of the overall project, we have looked at all of the site review. Site conditions of approval, and the one area, the one condition that we do feel is excessive is the request for a sidewalk along the south side of Lake Drive East. There is an existing sidewalk on the north side of Lake Drive East and that this is not a, I'm going to say, a residential area. One sidewalk we feel will adequately handle the number of pedestrians who will be traversing this area. We would be glad to extend our sidewalks from our front doors and parking areas north up to the entrance to allow easy access to that northern sidewalk. With that we would ask for your approval of the site plan review, the preliminary plat 9 Planning Commission Meeting - March 4, 1998 and the vacation of the drainage and utility easements and we're available to answer any questions that you may have. Joyce: Any other questions for the applicant at this time? Burton: One last question. I had in my materials a preliminary landscape section that looked like this. It shows the sight lines from the south. John Dietrich: Yes. Burton: Is that, what we have, is that what the current proposal is? Or has it been increased since then? John Dietrich: I'm trusting you have the most recent, okay. The most recent cross section where we basically added additional width to that Building No. 2 to increase it from 50 feet to 70 feet at the location of that loading dock. This cross section is the one that was put into the final package and shows the existing ground line and the proposed ground line and height of elevations at three locations along that berm. Burton: Okay, thank you. Joyce: I have a quick question Bob or Sharmin. We have something that Alyson brought up. We have ordinances as far as construction times and things like that. When they can have construction. Do we have anything involved with the time of business on the Highway 5 corridor or anything like that? Al-Jaff: The only thing that we would have deals with the PCA requirements as far as noise levels. And these levels typically increase. The noise level increases when it's,PCA requires a lower level of noise when it's an industrial or a high intensity use next to a residential use. That's the only thing that we would have to go by. Joyce: So we'd have to have a noise level study or something done if there were some problems or complaints? Al-Jaff: Correct. And what we have done in the past, we had a problem with the National Weather Service and what we did was we contacted Carver County Environmental Services. They did have an instrument that measures the level of noise and we based our recommendations or course of action based upon the numbers that we come up. Hempel: Mr. Chairman, if I could just add to that please. I do believe there is an ordinance under Nuisance Ordinance as far as construction activities. And I believe snowplowing is exempt from that obviously because it has to be removed, but any other kind of outdoor ctivities. construction. those hours are governed by a Nuisance Ordinance. Joyce: So you're saying just during construction though, right? Any time? 10 Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 Hempel: Any time. Joyce: Okay. I'd like to open this for a public hearing. Can I have a motion and a second to do that? Conrad moved, Blackowiak seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened. Joyce: It's open for a public hearing. If you'd like to address the Planning Commission, please come up. State your name and address. Diane Thiel: Good evening. My name's Diane Thiel. I'm currently the President of the Wynnfield Homeowners Association. The development you've been referring to this evening with the development, and I'll just take a brief moment because we've got another gentleman. We've got someone who's going to bring the major list of concerns but as you can see from our turnout there's a great deal of interest in our neighborhood about what's done to the north of us and with the, we're concerned again but for the quality of life and we've got a fabulous neighborhood. We did know when we moved in that this was zoned industrial. So we knew that something like this was going to be coming. I think the thing we're stressing is that we would like to work with you however we can throughout the process to mitigate the impact of the construction and the industrial to our single family homes as much as possible and whatever we can do as an association or as a neighborhood, we would be very happy to do that. So at this point, why don't I turn it over to Phil Becker and let him go through. Phil Becker: Hi, my name's Phil Becker and I live at 18722 Wynnfield Road in Eden Prairie. I'm one of the homes that is on the berm that's on the side of the industrial development. I want to thank the developers and the staff for the effort that they've put into it. It looks like a pretty impressive development. I guess the thing that I want to start out with is that, as part of our neighborhood, we almost view ourselves as much a part of Chanhassen as Eden Prairie. We work, worship and shop and dine with many of you in Chanhassen because that's the closest location to go for many of those things. Talking with the Chamber of Commerce, it was estimated that we spend probably half a million dollars a year from just our neighborhood,just this small neighborhood that we have in Chanhassen, and so we have much in common with Chanhassen and the developers in terms of the amount of time and effort and money we've spent on our properties. We all want to maximize the properties that we own, or govern. To provide an enjoyable work and living environment for all of us to live and work in. and we purchased the property knowing what types of neighbors we were going to have, and we want to be good neighbors and generally, like I said, we think the plan is a good plan. We appreciate the fact that the distance has been maximized from our home to the building. The exterior is attractive and the landscaping is attractive. I guess the thing that has become an issue in terms of the meetings that we've had with the homeowners is the screening along the boundary and to kind of give you a history, as I researched this project. Again we bought this knowing we were going to have an industrial park or office park behind us. The original grade of that land for the industrial office park was the same grade as the homes that are currently there, so the height of the berm in 1I Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 relationship to the buildings was much greater than it is now. Also originally there was a drainage pond at the western edge of that berm, which shielded the remaining residents at where the berm is lowest along here and along Lot 3. That was removed and replaced by the pond that you see along Dell Road so that eliminated another screening aspect that originally we originally thought was there. Talking to the City of Eden Prairie who advised the developer of our neighborhood, they had set the berm at the height assuming the grade that was reasonably close to where it was at when we originally purchased it, as well as no loading docks being exposed to the neighborhood. They assumed that would be some kind of U shaped development where all you would see is parking and office spaces along that. And so the berm is definitely not high enough to screen at least from a standpoint of the expected use. Now that's changed significantly since the 6 years that berm has been put up. And really the way we look at it is, the berm is the only thing that provides screening. All the plantings are on the south side, or excuse me. On the north side of the berm. It only has, in terms of conifers, about 50%of what is needed for a year round screening. According to the University of Minnesota, Vision Landscape, a local company I contacted, asked about screening of residential and commercial properties and the City of Eden Prairie. I guess what we're looking for is some reasonable privacy. As they said that the average height of the berm is about 8 feet. If you look at the elevations that we have here, we unfortunately have...as the three sights AA prime, B and C. Yet, those are the homes that are, don't have the walkout basements or the lookout basements where at least half the homes along that berm do have that so we're talking at least a 4 to 6 foot difference in height so we're taking away some of that height that was built in there. Assuming that all the homes had been you know with a normal, with a standard basement, without the lookout or the walkout. The sight lines would be pretty good but when you start putting in the fact that you're going to have a walkout basement, which has to be three stories in back,or a lookout basement which is you know, 2 %2 stories. Now we're having sight lines which allow us to look, allow us and our neighbors to look into first floor windows in most of these elevations. And the second floor, we're fully visible from those properties. And so we're looking to have the berm, so like I said. We feel that because the berm is really the only screen that's there because once the overhanging trees, the seasonal trees lose their leaves, all we've got left is roughly 54 conifers along a 900 foot berm that only adds up to about 50%of the minimum that I was told when I contacted University of Minnesota and a couple landscaping firms so I realize that it meets the ordinance but when you look at what makes sense from a standpoint of practices elsewhere, it comes up short. And I guess we are concerned about trash collection, the noise, the snow removal, delivery trucks and with the berm not being significantly high in some of these places, the lights are going to,on some of the trucks, shine into the homes that are on the south side of the berm. We're glad that they're using lighting that is going to be shielded from us and we hope that that isn't going to a problem but again since all the plantings are on the north side, or most the plantings that are being put in are on the north side, they're not going to have much of a screening effect for the neighborhood. The other thing that we looked at is from a security standpoint. The barrier that's there is not a significant physical barrier in some of the areas. It gives additional access to our neighborhood that wasn't there before and we realize that was going to happen but what we'd like to see is an additional area because the berm over the last 5 or 6 years that we've lived there has become a play area for our children,and we realize as responsible parents we have to keep them away from there now that the construction's beginning to start and the buildings are going to go in, but it would be nice to have a little bit of help in terms of delineating that area a little bit 12 Planning Commission Meeting - March 4, 1998 better than just a hill that the kids have played on now for so long. I guess the solution that we're looking for is, either is a combination of an additional height to the berm, which we know that some is being added, we'd like to see more added because we know that that, from a long term standpoint, is the lowest cost over time in terms of installation and maintenance. We'd like to add a privacy fence because that, or add a privacy fence because that has the lowest initial cost. Additional conifers would also provide a more natural and visually pleasing screen from the neighborhood. I realize that we are going to get a combination of that and that solution has been used in other areas in Chanhassen, specifically the National Weather Service has a berm and a fence between the neighbors there. The solution that Eden Prairie provide comments to the staff shows a similar type of arrangement that provides, if it's types of things that Eden Prairie would do for Chanhassen residents in our situation. Again, we'd be delighted to work with the city staff, the developers and come up with a solution that would help us. We think overall the plan is good. It's an attractive building. All we're looking for is some reasonable privacy, some reasonable security, and a chance to participate in the solution. I want to thank you for your time. Joyce: Thank you very much. Would anybody else like to address the Planning Commission at this time? Jim Urlick: My name's Jim Urlick and I live at 18986 Wynnfield Road, which is basically west of the property I think that's being developed. My visual line of sight outside of my home is DataServ's loading docks and DataServ's lights. So there is a very valid concern here. I bought the home after DataSery went up and there was nobody here apparently representing the property that I now own when DataSery was built. There's no berm. There's no trees or anything like that so I'm most interested in seeing that my neighbors are happy and fun to be around, which they are for the most part. I'm also interested on the west side in how this berm plays out. Does it just fade away? Does it extend down? And I'm interested in this absorption of the DataSery parking lot that was mentioned on the west side. So I was wondering if I could get those two areas addressed. Joyce: Mr. Dietrich, would you mind addressing those two areas? John Dietrich: If you don't mind me rolling out some plans here. The existing DataSery parking lot... We are proposing that...move over approximately 80...so we'd be occupying basically the western, I'm going to say 80 to 90 feet. We have an area south of the parking lot and also in this area of Lot 3. Now if I go to the grading plan. I realize they're lines on a paper but in this area of the property...and build up the berming in this southwest corner of the development. We're proposing that the height of this berm...top of berm is approximately 7 %2 feet above the door of this building. Approximately 8 feet above any parking lot down in this corner. In order to put this berm in here, we're proposing that we pick up the drainage that comes out of the pond, that currently comes into our site without any drainage and utility easements. We're proposing we would...and provide that berm and screening... Joyce: Things got better for you. No, I understand. 13 Planning Commission Meeting - March 4, 1998 Dan Blomquist: I'm Dan Blomquist with Welsh Development Company. We do not represent that property per se. There's common ownership with the development parcel but we are not here representing the owner on that particular aspect of the project. Blackowiak: I do have a question Mr. Chairman. Mr. Dietrich, you were just talking about the parking lot. If you could stand up please. Maybe you could point out on the map, observing the parking lot approximately 80 feet, you were saying from Lot 3 into what is now DataSery parking. Where does that put the edge of DataSery parking as compared with the lot line between Lots 3 and 4? John Dietrich: That would put the edge of the property down the middle of the proposed...green band. So currently this is all one. Blackowiak: Right, right. I understand. I'm saying let's say that there's still parking on where it says Lot 4. Is that a correct assumption on my part? John Dietrich: Correct. Blackowiak: There will still be parking. How close to that lot line will the parking be because you're not showing any physical parking. Any stalls delineated on Lot 4, whereas you are on Lot 3. John Dietrich: Correct. This was proposed to be a drive lane into their truck loading area facility. And so...not to be any parking along this area. Staff had requested that this driveway that currently goes out be closed. I believe we can make that work. We may look at extending the parking over here. Currently the proposal is that the property line would be 5 feet off of the curb line on Lot 4 and Lot 3. Down the center of...does that answer your question? Blackowiak: That does, and that brings up another one. Sharmin, what is the setback requirement? Al-Jaff: Between parking lots there is none. Blackowiak: There is none. Okay, thank you. Joyce: Would anybody else like to address the Planning Commission at this point? Seeing none, could I have a motion to close the public hearing? Brooks moved, Blackowiak seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Joyce: Commissioners, can I have your input please? Ladd. Conrad: Well I think it's a good plan and I appreciate all the neighbors coming here and just assure them that it doesn't matter if they're in Chanhassen or Eden Prairie, I think as you can tell 14 Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 the comments would represent you if you were a Chanhassen resident. We have a lot of these things happening. Probably in Eden Prairie too. We don't know what's happening in Eden Prairie,but we do know what's happening in Chanhassen. We put in ordinances. That's really what governs what happens. The buffer yard ordinance is, makes transitions and we put that in last year...so I don't want to lecture or talk but that's why it's in the code. To not be arbitrary. In general it looks like a pretty good plan to me. I like the designs. A couple things that I'd want to make sure of, and that would be the berm and the height of the berm and Sharmin, that's the one thing as these folks follow this through City Council. I'd really like to, in our, in the staff report we didn't talk about the height of the berm. In the staff, in our recommendations that we have here. It was in the staff report but I think from a resident's standpoint,I think they'd like to see what it really is. Now it could be buried in some landscape plans and stuff like that,but I think it should be a little bit more obvious, at least to the neighbors that they get a comfort level that it's just not talk and there is an actual, like we put in so many trees. They should be condensed. That we are screening the cars. That we are screening the headlights from, that's real important. I'm not a real advocate of fencing. I think it's, I think you said you'd like to have a fence there. I won't even address that issue but...really offensive. I think but...that's not in our ordinance so somebody else up here would have to be real convinced that that's important to buffer you. I don't believe so. Question for staff. We have residents in Chanhassen down the road a bit,between McDonald's and the neighborhood. Do we have specific rules in terms of noise and lighting? Primarily noise Sharmin. Do we have any special thing for them that govern when deliveries could be made, that you know? When sweeping could be done? My recollection is we don't but we really try to protect them in many,many ways and I think the same rules should be applied to this neighborhood. So if it works down the block, it should be applied here. I think we should, we owe that to them. That doesn't help you at all, and I realize that but you know, follow that through and see what the City Council says. Take a look at it. The tree issue. I don't know. I think we could plant more trees. Really if the trees go on a berm, they'll die. Well, I don't know. Staff is a little bit more competent in talking about some of these things so. I think the height of the berm is probably the major thing for the neighbors and I think we have a barrier there to make the berm decent. So Mr. Chairman,bottom line for me is, I'd really like to see when this gets up to the City, some kind of an additional document that could be...how that berm looks and this is how it would screen the residents, and here's the height after it settles. And therefore I think the neighbors might be a little bit more comfortable. That's really my,those are my issues. The issue of making sure that the, any restrictions we have down the block can apply to this property and also that that berm becomes a major part and it's documented so they have something to go back against and say, developer,you promised this and you didn't do that and I want it in our recommendations. That's all. Joyce: Thank you. Allyson. Brooks: I'm also concerned about the height of the berm. One of the things, one of the reasons I'm concerned is,a little bit like I told the example. I was talking earlier about the corner of Trunk Highway 5 and Dell Road. That berm there I believe was supposed to be taller. And it didn't make it for whatever reason and now we see the parking lot and sometimes we say it's going to be so high and...no guarantees and this is a situation that with the berm lower on Trunk Highway 5 and Dell Road, it's not a big issue but here it is a big issue so I really am concerned 15 Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 about the height and what it's going to end up looking like. I am very concerned about the noise. I know the developer says it's unlikely they will get anybody in there that's loading and unloading in the middle of the night,but if there's one likely person that shows up, it's very noisy and not much fun for the people who have to live right there. With the headlights and everything else. I would like to see,I don't know what we can do about the noise. It's something you have to let me know if we can somehow control that or make them put that in their lease. Al-Jaff: We don't have anything in an ordinance that says no deliveries may be made at a certain,or they...But again...standards would come in. Brooks: I know we have these standards, it just that sometimes we see in some of these areas we run into trouble anyway. So I'm just, it's a big concern of mine. I guess those are my two major, oh. And to disagree with Ladd, which I love to do. Even though a fence may be ugly,the safety issue involved for children is not worth dealing with the aesthetics. I think...if a fence was going to be put up, I would have absolutely no objection to it. Joyce: And I forgot that, Ladd I'll ask you. What about the sidewalk situation with our development? Brooks: I think the sidewalk should be kept. Joyce: Ladd? Conrad: ... Blackowiak: I'll start off with that. Three for the sidewalk,yes. It will hook up. If you take, if there's a south sidewalk, then you can turn right and go south on Dell Road and go down back to the neighborhood to access the trail and I really think that that's important. I mean we've talked about being pedestrian friendly and I think this is a good opportunity for us to continue that tact so let's keep the sidewalk in there. I'd like to see it. Issues. Mr. Becker talked about reasonable privacy. Reasonable security. I agree totally. I don't know what to say about the height to the berm. It's hard for me to take a position between a fence or to choose trees or whatever. I would suggest, and I don't know if I need to say that we should delay a vote but I would like the developer and the neighbors to get together and to come sort of a consensus before this goes onto City Council. Now whether that means it comes back before the Planning Commission for a final review, I don't know and I will be,you know,persuaded either way. But I would strongly suggest that the developer meet with the neighbors and resolve some of these concerns before it goes onto Council because I don't really feel that I can support anything that didn't have a real strong feeling of consensus between the neighbors and the developers. Mr. Becker also made a good point about the sight lines. AA prime, BB prime, etc. We're showing it with the two level homes and I'd like to see something with three level homes shown because I think that there will be a significant difference and that could affect the argument to add a privacy fence or larger trees or whatever that's, whatever's going to happen on the berm. And again I don't have the answer for that. I think it's between the neighbors and the developers to determine what's going to be effective and look good,but there are lots of three level homes over there and I think that 16 Planning Commission Meeting - March 4, 1998 taking a look at those sight lines with three level homes would be very interesting. Noise. I agree it's going to be, could be potentially a problem. I would like to make a suggestion about the traffic. The dock bays. Between Lots 1 and 2, I didn't think of it when we were initially talking about it but I would hope that the semi's would enter in that common drive and exit that same way and not be looping around the buildings. Going closer to the neighbors and the same thing with Lot 3. Not make a big circle around the entire building but enter and exit from the same driveway. And I would certainly like to see that and not have the semi's just driving, making a big U shape around the buildings because I think that would be fairly offensive as well. Sidewalk, yes. And I think that's about it. Again, I don't know if we need to see it back again but I would like some people to do some talking before it goes to Council. For sure. Sidney: Four for the sidewalk. I'll put my vote in for the sidewalk on the south side. That road to the north of the property. A couple things that concern me. First of all were the materials. However the seeing the materials I feel more comfortable with the design of the buildings. I would comment, I thought maybe it was a slight step down from other Welsh Construction buildings that you show in your packet. I guess personally I like cut faced block...would be acceptable in this scenario. I'm very concerned that...the berm and the shielding of the neighborhood to the south. And I would like to see some scenario outlined in the case of having a fence or no fence. What the sight lines would be. And I do believe, like Ladd said, that... we're just not getting the clustering and the density to provide adequate shielding to the south. And I think for the benefit of the neighbors, one thing that might help to go to City Council is to provide them with some examples of what you would like. In the form of a photo or drawing or something like that. Also I would like to see like Allison, second Allison said, more dialogue between the neighbors. I do think the berm can be...attractive and there can be more plans and possibly a fence. That would help out a lot. I think Eden Prairie's letter in the packet talks about screening and some of the issues and mentioned the fence and I think it's a possibility. I disagree with Ladd because I guess that's what we're doing tonight. Those are my comments. Conrad: You shouldn't have started that. Just a quick note. I'll guarantee you our transition areas are more restrictive than Eden Prairie. That's just, we, I think we have it together. I'm not sure what their zoning, or their transition areas are about but it's easy to put a note in there saying do this. That it really counts when you put it in an ordinance and that's what we've got. That's what protects you. That's your guarantee. It's there. They've exceeded it by quite a bit so, sorry. I shouldn't do that. Joyce: Matt. Burton: I basically agree with all the comments, and I'd like to see a sidewalk also but the big issue would be the berms and the trees and just screening altogether. And I think that whatever it takes should be done to make the neighbors happy. I think the developers have done a good job and put some, a lot of thought and consideration into it and I think the neighbors are approaching it very reasonably. It would seem to me that if, if there was a way to get them together, that they probably could reach some type of an agreement and a consensus of that. How to set this up. I don't know if it's not, if we have the ability to require it but it would seem that perhaps if it went before with the Council they could have either like a town or neighborhood type meeting and 17 Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 then they could see if they could come to some type of resolution to present to the Council. And I think that both the developer and the neighbors could be happy if they tried something like that so I, again I agree with everything. I think that the issues are pretty well defined going forward. Joyce: Basically I echo what the other commissioners have said. I'd like to compliment the neighborhood. You seem very well organized and I do suggest and urge you to follow this through to City Council. I think you have some valid points. A couple of notes here. You know obviously this,the development itself I happen to like and it certainly, the design and everything follows our requirements of the comprehensive plan and...ordinances and as Ladd said,we have a very strict buffer ordinance. I think the developer has exceeded this. It certainly has exceeded that buffer ordinance,and one note as far as a, from a monetary standpoint. The developer's willing to do 100%of the financing. I believe in our buffer ordinance we require the residents to take a portion of that financing as far as,25%. So I think if you do happen to want to negotiate with the developer, I'm sure he'd be willing to negotiate. If the consensus is that you do want a fence, maybe they'd be interested in that but right now he's paying for 100%of this buffering and that he is not required to do. So I think that's an issue that you should be aware of. I think, I once again do agree with Ladd. I'd like to see a condition in the report laying out the comprehensiveness of the buffering so that the neighbors will know what they are offering. I know it was in our notes. I'd like to see it laid out that this is exactly what we're going to do with the buffering, so you know what's being offered before you decide to do something else. I'm going to agree with Ladd. I don't,I think fences are, I think the buffering,you might find you'd like the buffering more. Maybe with just a little bit of tweaking on the buffering you could really make a nice screening so I'd have to agree with Ladd on that. The developer,the sidewalk is a must. I mean that's just, you're not, I know the way the City Council feels about sidewalks and pedestrians so I certainly think you're going to have to put a sidewalk in and it looks like you want to address the. John Dietrich: Sorry. Joyce: No, that's alright. John Dietrich: Thank you commissioner. I would like to say,we would be happy to meet with the residents and talk about the berming issue. We'll put together the comprehensive document that shows what this berming is. We would like to ask for approval tonight but we will meet with the residents and try and work out this agreement prior to City Council. Joyce: If there was some consensus on fencing,would that,could you entertain that thought? John Dietrich: I guess we'll entertain the issue. Everything's a cost. I mean a sidewalk is a huge cost issue that's not part of the Performa right now so,I can't, I'm not going to be able to stand here and say yes, yes,yes. We need to look at it. I think we can come to an agreement and have a quality development for all parties. •Joyce: As well organized as the neighborhood is,I think you can get some dialogue together. I think we could pass this off to City Council. I feel comfortable passing it off to City Council but 18 Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 I suggest you get some dialogue together with the developer and put something together. But I do want to see some information on the conditions on what you are offering as a berm and that's all we ask I think... Al-Jaff: I think we heard the Planning Commission's direction as well as...the neighbors and we will make sure that all of those issues are taken care of before we appear before the City Council. Joyce: So with that said, could I get a motion please? Conrad: You sure can. Joyce: You know I think, do we need three motions? Al-Jaff: Yes. Conrad: I'll make one. I'd make a motion Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan Review #98-2 as shown on the site plan received February 24, 1998 subject to the conditions in the staff report, 1 through 28. With the following addition. 29. A berm plan will be presented to the City Council detailing the height of that berm and the plantings throughout the entire length of the property line.

(LuAnn Sidney removed herself from the Planning Commission for the following Public Hearing.) PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR A 9,582 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE FACILITY ON AN 1.8 ACRE PARCEL- LOT 3, BLOCK 1, CHANHASSEN BUSINESS CENTER 2' D ADDITION, FOR A MATERIALS EVALUATION AND ENGINEERING FACILITY, K & S INVESTMENTS, LLC. Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item. Joyce: Questions for staff. Burton: I have one question. Item 8 of the recommendation was revise parking on the site improvement plan to comply with the Building Code. And on item 4, I just don't understand how item 4 and 8 work together I guess. Generous: The item 8 is a handicap space. It doesn't comply with Code. It needs an 8 foot aisle. And 4 just says that we're going to create a site plan agreement between the City and the property owner and so we need to say, add additional parking. They'll have to do that and we'll have a contract that says that. Burton: Okay, I guess I got lost in the terminology. So item 8 is just to provide the handicap space? That's what the Building Code requires? Is that? Generous: Yes. Burton: Right. Joyce: Anything else? 26 Planning Commission Meeting - March 4, 1998 Blackowiak: Yes, I've got a couple of quick things. Page 7. H, Bob. Lighting. Number 1. It talks about the plans not providing for street lighting. It is not a condition. Should it be? So is it. Generous: It would be a developer required improvement. Blackowiak: Okay. Is that something we don't address here then? Generous: It wouldn't be the responsibility of this lot. Blackowiak: Okay. Takes care of that one. Okay, and I think one more. Oh, building materials. Page 5, E(2). It talks about color block and not painted block. One of my problems with this is that the northwest area of the building is plain and I went over into Stone Creek today to take a look at how looking across it would appear. Could we make an exception for the northwest side of the building if they were to paint a color band or continue the color around the building or something or is that something we don't even want to get into? Generous: Well we're looking for when they do that expansion, that they will continue. Blackowiak: Correct. With block of some sort. But in the interim, would that, and again I guess I have a question for the applicant too is when is this expansion? I mean if we're talking a year down the road, fine. You know I can live with it for a year but if we're talking 5 to 10 years then maybe it's something we need to consider and would staff be able to make an exception or would it. Generous:... Blackowiak: Okay. Alright, thanks. That's it. Joyce: Great...address the Planning Commission. Jim Strapko: I'm Jim Strapko. I'm the applicant. I'm an architect. I live and work in Minneapolis. I'd like to introduce the owner of the building who also will be the occupant, Bill Katz. Bill Katz: Good evening, hi. My name is Bill Katz and as Jim said, I'll be representing Katz Analytical which will be the occupant. It's a testing facility, as well as the owner of the building. And I really don't have any statements to make other than, are there any questions for me regarding building or future... Blackowiak: I'm all for green space, don't get me wrong but do you feel that you're going to have adequate parking? Bill Katz: More than enough. Right now we're really a facility that is extremely high tech and computer intensive, which means that our labor requirements are minimal. Right now we have 8 27 Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 full time. We envision adding probably another 1 to 2 people, although we'll be adding several testing systems. So we add instrumentation and capability without adding a lot of staff so yeah, I would say right now the parking is going to be more than sufficient. Blackowiak: You're comfortable with what you've shown us? Bill Katz: Right, yeah. Feel very comfortable with that. Blackowiak: Okay. Those are my questions, thank you. Bill Katz: Anyone else? I've prepared some packets about our laboratories. Is that of interest to anyone? Would you like to take a look at some of the equipment or techniques? Conrad: Sure. Bill Katz: ...but it does give you an idea of the types of things...about myself and some of the equipment we use. To give you an idea of what it is we're doing. Basically it's electronic testing which is done with computer controlled equipment. It's extremely pristine. We don't get into a lot of chemicals or dirty type of work so it looks like a very, very high tech environment, both inside and out. It's extremely stringent as far as cleanliness and testing. Things of that nature. Blackowiak: So who are your clients? Bill Katz: Clients from the Twin Cities. Blackowiak: I don't really understand all this. Bill Katz: Basically what our laboratory does very simply is, we provide analytical information about a material. For example, if you're a Medtronic and you have a new implant or...we want you to understand...we would provide them with that information. If they say I have a...that's the type of information we would provide. So our customer base is really...a lot of biomedical. SciMed. Medtronic...so there's a lot of mid to large capitalization... Joyce: Interesting. We have a real eclectic group of businesses down there in that area. Next to Chuck's Grinding. Bill Katz: Yeah, it really is but the one thing that we really enjoy. Chanhassen was always our number one location for a lot of reasons. I live in Eden Prairie. Most of our staff lives in the southwest and I think the whole southwest environment I think is very high tech. Meetings like this tend to environment, it's the way it looks around us. Very upbeat. Professional. And for our customer base, that's extremely important. The hourly rates that we charge are not...and we have to have an environment so if a FDA comes in, we have an environment around us... Joyce: ...those are expensive I'm sure. 28 Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 Bill Katz: No, take them. Joyce: Are you sure? Bill Katz: Yeah, absolutely. Joyce: Thank you. Bill Katz: Are there any other questions I can answer? Conrad: Yeah. I've got to go back to your building. Maybe you don't want to, yeah. And it's probably a combo between staff and. Screening of rooftop. What's our standard on that Bob and then maybe the applicant, how they met that. I see that we're painting the mechanical. Generous: They're actually proposing to put in a metal screen wall, similar to the roof... Jim Strapko: ...it looked like a better option, a more viable option for people who would be looking at this... and that screening would be a design similar to the canopy, the metal... Conrad: Okay, that's good. That's far better than. Jim Strapko: I'm prepared to go through the design. Joyce: Sure. Jim Strapko: Quickly. ...take some photographs. Bill and I walked the site and looked at the neighborhood. We saw, as we approached the T in the road where Commerce Drive is... and at the T in the road with Commerce... Then as we get closer to the site, our neighbor to the west is...Park Systems which is another building similar. And both of these buildings are higher and lighter... The building that ours comes closest to is the color... We collected our colors from these cues. We oriented the building...oriented the building to face this T at Commerce Drive. ...our building orients towards that entrance with a metal canopy that shuts off the corner of the building...would come in the front door so this is a very low intensity use dock here. And we face the dock...the docks which are facing us and our neighbor to the west. And we face the front of the building to the east and the south where it's visible from this T in the road. In terms of orientation, we've oriented the parking around the two sides of the building which are more or less the front of the building. And I don't have the grading plan here but we created landforms so we maintained existing landforms which are natural berms on the north side of the site and we will planting conifers, a minimum of 6 feet height on the top of...landforms which form a saddle. Which actually screens...and maintain a similar kind of berming around the perimeter of this area...match the berming that's on the other side of the building and this side...landforms and orient the building in a way which is... The materials that we chose are in the same, they're also materials that...for a client that might occupy the building sometime in the future. These are chosen by some architect for a client that might occupy the building sometime in the future. These are chosen by the owner to meet their requirements for their image and they've gone 29 Planning Commission Meeting - March 4, 1998 through a long process of tying in...so this isn't designed with some kind of... and that ends my presentation. Are there any questions about the design of the building? Joyce: Thank you very much. Nice presentation. A pretty contained group here. I don't know if we even... Conrad moved, Sidney seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Joyce: ...I'm going to bring it back to the Commission. Matt? Burton: I don't have any problems with the proposal. I think it's just fine. Blackowiak: Yes, the building looks good. My only comment would be about potentially continuing the band around the back,just with some paint or something and I don't know if how everybody else feels. I'm kind of throwing that out Ladd, to you. Jim Strapko: We wouldn't want to paint...and we are providing the screening. Blackowiak: Okay the screening. It seemed to me, as I looked, the conifers were both on the northwest and northeast corners. In other words, where the corners of the proposed addition would be and not so much along the north wall itself. Jim Strapko: The landforms that we've got back there. Blackowiak: ...can you help me. Jim Strapko: We're looking at the grading plan. And we have revised this site by raising...this berm here...after talking to Bob, create a saddle here and we will plant additional conifers at the tops of these rises...plus the 6 feet of conifer. Blackowiak: Okay, yeah. That would satisfy me. It wasn't on the initial plan so that's what I was concerned about from,just looking from the northwest anyway. Jim Strapko: We tried to respond to all of the suggestions... Blackowiak: Okay, well I'd be happy with that as long as any addition would have the colored band through it. Then I'm satisfied. Brooks: I have no comments. I just want to say I like the idea of putting the fewer parking spaces in... Jim Strapko: ...employees and we're at that...moving into a larger space. we're at the same ratio so we're not skewing it... 30 Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 Conrad: Let me ask Bob a question Mr. Chairman. There's obviously no guarantee of expansion and this is our only chance to get the building built that we want so the trade-off here, what staff is saying, or what we're thinking is that the landscaping and berming will compensate for not having that north elevation the way we want it. Generous: Correct. Conrad: Okay. Are we guaranteed that landscaping that is continuous Bob? Somehow I have to be assured that the landscaping does not change. That the berming, it's easy to level something. It's easy to add parking space, whatever happens. I don't want, this is the trade-off and I'm not sure if it's a good one. I can't tell. So if it's, we're going to do it, I've got to guarantee that a condition of the approval is that that berming's there forever like the stripe would be. Jim Strapko: We're bonded... Generous: Just for the landscaping portion. We don't have a specific condition on that, no. The approval is based on what the site plan agreement will say is, the site plan, the grading plan, the erosion control plan... Conrad: So what would be an effective condition that we should put in there that will guarantee that landscaping compensates for the lack of the accent stripe? Generous: We would have to expand on number 20 for the berming. State that the berming to the north of the building shall be incorporated in the grading plan with additional coniferous trees be installed in a random pattern in such berms. Conrad: Nann, are you writing that down? Okay. That's all. Hempel: Mr. Chairman,just a question for the applicant I guess. We talked about the back of the building and the berm with the saddle. Would that berm still remain with your future expansion to the north? Jim Strapko: We would try to. If you look at the grading plan, what you'll see is that the expansion of the building can go up to a drainage easement...that will take out a portion of the berming...the northeast portion of the site...so it would be that symmetry of berming. There's berming over here on this site. About the same general massiveness of berming. And there's berming here and there's a rise over here so the character of the land...wouldn't be leveling the site making a parking lot out of it when we expand the building. We'd do exactly the same thing we're doing now. Expand the parking slightly on one side only. We'd maintain the berm as much as possible...the accent stripe... Hempel: I just wanted the Planning Commissioners to recognize that the north side of this building, or the north side of the property does fall away and as you expand that building to the north, you will lose some of the berming abilities on that side of the building. There may be a 31 Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 possibility to resolve that by partially having the building built actually into the berm where you won't see as much height of the building, similar to what Waytek did I think it is on... Jim Strapko: ...less export of soil off the site. There's no need for the owner, from the owner's perspective to have any...testing rooms are rooms that need to be...south and the east sides of the building so we could... Then not a whole lot would change, except for what happens during construction. Things get torn up... Joyce: ...add that onto a condition. Someone. Blackowiak: I think it's a good idea. I mean. Joyce: Why don't we put it in there so we have it there. Okay, thank you. As far as the project itself, I'm in favor of that. I think that was a good comment about the berming so I think we have that resolved. One point I did want to make was that I thought it was nice...docking facility. I think that's something we can learn by in Chanhassen... So I'm okay with the project. Can I get a motion then please? Conrad: Oh I don't know. Anybody else want to make this? I'd make the motion Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan #98-1 for a 9,582 square foot building on Lot 3, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 2nd Addition, site plan prepared by, dated 1/30/98, subject to the conditions in the staff report with the addition and point number 20 that Nann took good notes on but I'll kind of paraphrase it. The berm to the north of the building should be incorporated into the grading plan with the addition of coniferous plantings. Points number 20, and then I'll add a point 22 that the new plan, a new plan be presented with the revised mechanical screening. I don't know Bob if we really need that in as a condition. It will happen. I just want to make sure it's going to happen. And then, I'm going to end it there. If somebody wants to add to my motion with what was just discussed about the future berming. I'm not sure how to make that motion. The extent of my motion just adds a point 22 and addition to point 20. Blackowiak: I think it's a good idea. Do we need to include it? I'm not sure I guess. Conrad: You'd better get a second to my motion first. Joyce: Can I get a second?... Burton: Second. Blackowiak: Okay then I'll make a friendly amendment then to add a condition that future expansion shall, I don't know how to word this. Incorporate the berm or, thank you very much. You put it much better than I did. Maintain the existing landform and be set into the berm. I think we all know what we mean, so something to that effect. Joyce: Thank you. That was well put.. Second? Do I need a second on this? 32 Planning Commission Meeting - March 4, 1998 Brooks: Second. Joyce: Okay. Any other questions? Conrad moved, Burton seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of site plan #98-1 for a 9,582 square foot building on Lot 3, Block 1, Chanhassen Business Center 2"d Addition, site plan prepared by Strapko, Pahl & Associates, LTD, dated 1/30/98 and subject tot the following conditions: 1.

PUBLIC HEARING: THE PURPOSE OF THIS HEARING IS TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CODE TO SECTION 18-57(2) & (1), DRIVEWAYS ON COLLECTOR ROADS. Dave Hempel presented the staff report on this item. Blackowiak: I have a question Mr. Chairman. Dave, would this determination by the City Engineer be instead of reviewbv the Planning Commission and City Council? 35 Planning Commission Meeting - March 4, 1998 Hempel: You would still have an opportunity. Blackowiak: Could it be potentially? Hempel: In some case by case instances where there is an existing lot of record, the City Engineer would then have the authority to grant an access to that lot. Most the time it occurs though with the subdivision that comes before Planning Commission and City Council to also have the ability to review access points. So yes it would be true in both instances. You would have ability in most cases to still review the access points. Conrad moved, Blackowiak seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Joyce: Any other discussion? Ladd? Conrad: No, none. Joyce: Alyson? Brooks: None. Blackowiak: I don't know, I kind of like the review. I don't, I guess if nobody else has any objection to it, maybe I've just been up too long today but. I suppose there are other instances that the City Engineer just makes unilateral decisions and it doesn't go before anybody anyway so. Hempel: Correct. Blackowiak: Another one of those so. Hempel: Most of the instances though, you still will have the opportunity to review. It's very few and random that we do get a request for a driveway access on a collector street. You may get somebody who wants to have a farm field access or something to that effect or nature. Where right now the city code ordinance says no. It's prohibited. Blackowiak: But still they're just being granted just on a variance basis? Or a conditional basis. Hempel: They would have to be brought before the City Council for approval of a variance to the code. Blackowiak: And you're comfortable with it just being decided? 36 Planning Commission Meeting- March 4, 1998 Hempel: Yes. Just because of past practices. All of the driveways in the last year or two have been brought before the Planning Commission and City Council for approval with the site plans or with the subdivision proposals. Blackowiak: Okay, thank you. Conrad: Just a general comment. I think they would be more rigid... My impression is they uphold the ordinance more than we would. Engineering department follows what's good practice safety standards are. It's not like they're giving away... Blackowiak: Oh no, I don't disagree with that. I'm just thinking about the process of the review. That was my only, kind of the only thing that jumped out at me is do we need to keep this in step by step or do we just say, fine. There are certain instances when it is just more expedient to have the Engineering Department decide that and let it go. I could be persuaded to go either way. I'm feeling better, thanks. Brooks: ...approve an ordinance amending Chapter 18 of the Chanhassen City Code, Subdivision Ordinance concerning streets. Joyce: Second? Sidney: Second. Brooks moved, Sidney seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of an ordinance amending Chapter 18 of the Chanhassen City Code Subdivision Ordinance concerning streets, Section 18-58(g) & (1) prepared by the City Attorney's office. All voted in favor and the motion carried. OLD BUSINESS: Generous: Not really new business. I'll tell you what Council did. They approved the first reading of the Bluff Creek ordinance. However they're holding off on the second reading to give staff time to look at all the property the city owns or has an interest in... And they denied the Powers Circle subdivision. The Rossavik. Blackowiak: Off Powers Boulevard? Generous: It was a large lot, it was a land use amendment rezoning from A2 to RSF and then the subdivision... Planning Commission recommended denial. Conrad: Well way to go. Joyce: They followed our lead. 37 Planning Commission Meeting - March 4, 1998 Generous: We'll be bringing the infrastructure elements for review. That includes sewer, water...parks and recreation and natural resources so, for discussion at the next meeting. Joyce: Does that cover old business too? Generous: I believe so. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Blackowiak noted the Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting dated February 18, 1998 as presented. ONGOING ITEMS: Joyce: Any ongoing items? Bob? Generous: We have Woodridge Heights 3rd Addition. Remember Woodridge Heights but they're creating five lots out of four on the... At Galpin and Lake Lucy Road. Blackowiak: North or south of Lake Lucy? Generous: South. Blackowiak: Is that by, what's his name? Joyce: That's the Centex, across the street from the Centex Homes. Generous: It is the Centex Homes. So they're just creating five lots out of four. Blackowiak: There's a landscaper or something on the southeast corner... Generous: Yeah, across the street from that. Blackowiak: Oh, it's on the west side, okay. Generous: Yeah, but the new subdivision. And I believe the last addition for Brendon Ponds is coming in. The connection will be made and... Joyce: Any other discussion? Vice Chairman Joyce adjourned the meeting at 9:15 p.m. Submitted by Kate Aanenson Planning Director Prepared by Nann Opheim 38 Park and Open Space 03/11/98 Page 11 Develop a park and open space plan which is consistent with and compliments the overall land use plan for Chanhassen. Provide a system of neighborhood parks which are centrally or conveniently located within the area they serve and where possible, are integrated with school facilities. Encourage citizen participation in the planning for and development of park and open space facilities. Continue to seek assistance from community groups in the planning and development of recreation areas. Provide a balanced park system which includes neighborhood parks, community parks, special use facilities, schools, and private developments; all interconnected by a linear trail network. Where possible, neighborhood park lands should be planned for, prior to development to ensure that future facility demands can be met. The location of neighborhood parks should be identified in areas that do not require the crossings of major thoroughfares by small children. The planning for recreation and open space within Chanhassen should concentrate on total environment programming rather than emphasizing facility programs. Recreation activities will be designed to appeal to all age groups. 1 • \ .'\ \� -\ ?, — I ' I 1 \ ` \o - / / ' \ \T'— / r 3 \ I� /• ////' , — — — — ' \� 1 1 / • / / i • �1 1 1 � a 1 / l V I� z 11 I / I, '° r 1, 1 / Q. / r1 / r J /1 I ice, . /' - r / ' i / ` / / ,i / K:pap 7rOr 1 / / • N............,- / ,iii •\ I r/ ...../ ,. . 0 ,....

For this reason, the City of Chanhassen places a strong emphasis on parks and open space. As the City of Chanhassen has developed and increased in population, more pressure and attention has been given to providing recreational opportunities for our residents. Increased leisure time, health awareness, greater mobility and higher disposable incomes have all contributed to the increased demand for recreational activities. The challenge of the next century will be to provide facilities for a growing and diverse population. Parks can be defined as public areas that provide active or passive oriented recreational facilities. A significant characteristic of park land is its accessibility to its users. Open space is any parcel that is not used for buildings or other structures and is left in a natural state. Parks and open space perform three functions: meet physical and psychological needs, enhance and protect the resource base and enhance real estate values and provide a positive impact on economic development. PARK AND OPEN SPACE PLANNING Open space, in its broadest terms, refers to any parcel that is left in its natural state. The property could be utilized for recreational purposes or simply to maintain a natural environment. An example of recreational open space is the Lake Ann Park,whereas, the National Wildlife Refuge is open space that aims to preserve the natural environment and its habitat. There are numerous factors involved in park and open space planning such as existing regional, local and private facilities, demographics and funding. The demographic structure determines the types of recreational facilities in a community. For instance, a young population would warrant the construction of more active recreational facilities. Parks and Open Space - Acquisition and Regulation The City obtains land for recreational purposes in one of the following manners: acquisition or regulation. Acquisition refers to obtaining land through easements, condemnation, donation or purchase. The trails are constructed in easements. The second means of obtaining land is through regulation or the zoning and subdivision ordinance. The subdivision ordinance states that the developer shall dedicate land for parks, playgrounds, public open space and trails and/or shall make a cash contribution to the City's park fund and trail fund (Section 18-79). The planned unit development(PUD) ordinance also encourages the preservation of open space and sensitive land. For instance, 100 acres of environmentally sensitive land was dedicated in the Arboretum Business Park. In addition, the Bluff Creek Overlay District will ensure that ecologically sensitive features and open space will be preserved. Park and Open Space 03/11/98 Page 2 Park Fees The subdivision ordinance also permits the City to require fees in lieu of a donation or easement for the park and trail system. These fees are paid with the other subdivision fees and the remainder is paid at the time of building permit issuance. FACILITY INVENTORY The Metropolitan Council has developed standards for recreational facilities by the size, use and service area (Table 1.1). The City uses these standards to define its park system. TABLE 1.1 METROPOLITAN RECREATION OPEN SPACE SYSTEM CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FOR LOCAL AND REGIONAL RECREATION OPEN SPACE Component Use Service Area _ Mini-Park Specialized facilities that serve a Less than '/4 mile concentrated or limited population or specific group such as tots or senior Site: Less than 1 acre citizens;may be in locations such as apartment complexes,townhouse developments,or commercial centers Neighborhood Park Area for intense recreational '/ - '/z radius to serve a population of activities such as field games,court 4,000 to 5,000(neighborhood) Site: 10-25 acres games,crafts apparatus area,skating, neighborhood centers. Community Park Area of natural or ornamental quality 12,000-20,000 population for outdoor recreation such as walking,viewing and picnicking; Site: 25-50 acres and may contain areas for intense recreational facilities such as athletic fields. Regional Park Area of natural ornamental quality 3-5 communities for nature-oriented outdoor recreation such as picnicking, Site: 200-500 acres boating,fishing,swimming,skiing, hiking and camping. Linear Park Area developed for one or more N/A varying modes of recreational travel Site: sufficient length to accomplish such as hiking,biking, purpose snowmobiling,horseback riding, cross country skiing,canoeing and driving. Source: Metropolitan Council Park and Open Space 03/11/98 Page 3 REGIONAL OPEN SPACE Lake Minnewashta Regional Park 2020 Land Use Plan: Parks/Open Space Lake Minnewashta Regional Park is located on the northeast corner of Lake Minnewashta, west of Hwy. 41 between Hwys. 5 and 7. The facility was originally established as a park in the late 1970s. The area of the park totals 350 acres. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park continues to be operated and maintained by Carver County with funding from the Metropolitan Council. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park contains the following facilities: a swimming beach, picnic areas, boat access, 7 miles of trails, play areas and a 30 acre reforestation area. The future plans of this park call for an amphitheater, beach enhancements, a picnic shelter and additional trails. Minnesota Landscape Arboretum 2020 Land Use Plan: Public/Semi-Public The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, a unit of the University of Minnesota, is a public botanical garden and an international recognized education and research institution. Its 935 acres feature display gardens and exhibits, model landscapes for home and community, restored native landscapes, fruit and woody plant research plots, and woody and herbaceous plant collections. Over 5,000 species of plants are represented on the grounds. The Arboretum is open to the public year-round. There are six miles of trails for warm-weather walking or cross country skiing during the winter. A new research project, the Spring Peeper Meadow, a sedge meadow wetland restoration, is located at the corner of Hwy 41 and 82nd Street. The Arboretum's many educational offerings include children's programs and gardens, family activities, adult education, therapeutic horticulture, and Anderson Horticultural Library, one of the foremost botanical libraries in the world. The Arboretum also hosts several public festivals every year, including the Sugarbush Pancake Brunch in the early spring and Fall Festival in September. National Wildlife Refuge 2020 Land Use Plan: Parks/Open Space The National Wildlife Refuge provides protection for the natural habitat of the Minnesota River Valley. The wildlife area, encompassing 14,000 acres,provides a linear greenbelt stretching Park and Open Space 03/11/98 Page 4 from Fort Snelling to the City of Carver. Within the City of Chanhassen, the refuge consists of 100 acres of land located adjacent to Rice Lake. The mission of the refuge is to manage the natural resources in order to perpetuate wildlife species and ecological communities' natural diversity and abundance, as well as provide opportunities for wildlife-oriented recreation and an educational center for the study of natural systems. PRIVATE FACILITIES Camp Tanadoona 2020 Land Use Plan: Public/Semi-Public Camp Tanadoona was started by the Minneapolis Camp Fire Girls in 1924. This camp consists of 63 acres of land on Lake Minnewashta, south of Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. Today the camp serves both boys and girls. Bluff Creek Golf Course 2020 Land Use Plan: Public/Semi-Public and Low Density Residential Bluff Creek Golf Course is a private facility located on Hwy. 101 south of Pioneer Trail (TH 14). The 18-hole course is approximately 228 acres. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION/FACILITIES Intergovernmental cooperation has been a successful means of acquiring and maintaining recreational facilities. In 1991, the City and the School District 112 jointly acquired land for Bluff Creek Elementary and the Chanhassen Recreation Center. The recreation center is a multiple-use facility with outdoor ball fields, tennis courts, state of the art in-line skating/hockey rinks. EXISTING PARKS AND OPEN SPACE The City has six community parks, 21 neighborhood parks and 2,815 acres of open space (this includes land guided parks/open space and public/semi-public). Bandimere Community Park, City Center Park and Roundhouse Park are scheduled to be completed before 2000. The following table lists the parks and the facilities and activities they provide. TABLE 1.2 INVENTORY OF PARKS AND OPEN SPACE (See attached spreadsheet) TRAILS Trails are an important element in an overall successful recreational system. They link parks and neighborhoods and the City to Eden Prairie and Chaska. The City places a high priority on the construction of trails. The following map displays the location of public trails. FIGURE 1.1 EXISTING AND PROPOSED TRAILS (See attached trail map) Trails can accommodate various transportation modes. Walking,jogging, in-line skating, bicycling, cross country skiing, snowmobiling and horseback riding are frequent uses of trail systems. For the purpose of this plan, the City's trails are categorized into two general classifications: walkways/bikeways and nature trails. Walkways/Bikeways: These trail facilities are designed to accommodate both bicycle and/or pedestrian use. The trails are generally eight feet in width(Figure 1.2). Nature Trails: These trails are designed solely for pedestrian usage. In some areas of the City, particularly in the southern portion, they are used to provide public access to areas isolated by extreme topography, tree cover or other factors. Other Trails The Southwest Regional LRT (Light Trail Transit)Trails, part of Hennepin County parks, traverses through the southern portion of the City. It extends from Lake Riley to Chaska running parallel to Hwy. 212. Other special use trails also exist within the City. For instance, snowmobile routes are designated by private clubs, in cooperation with the City,that connect to routes in adjacent communities in Carver County. DEMAND User surveys constitute an important tool in the assessment of recreational demand. In January 1997, a survey was conducted to determine support for a park bond referendum. General questions relating to existing services/facilities were also included. Four hundred randomly- selected Chanhassen residents were surveyed.

CITY OF BITUMINOUS CAHANTRAIL REVISED: 7 -98 DATE 2-97 Figure 1 .2 Park and Open Space 03/11/98 Page 6 Existing Park System The residents of Chanhassen overwhelmingly(80 percent)rated the availability and condition of existing recreational facilities as "excellent" or"good." One-quarter of the respondents indicated that they felt positively towards recreational facilities because they are "accessible." New Trails The majority(55 percent) of the residents surveyed indicated that they would support a bond referendum for the construction of new trail links to form a comprehensive system. Urban Sprawl The majority, or sixty-one percent, of residents surveyed supported the preservation of open space before it is lost to urban sprawl. Sources of Information about the Chanhassen Park System The advertising that the City has done through the newsletter has been successful as sixty-eight percent of the respondents indicated that they were"very well informed"or"somewhat well informed"about the park system. Only four percent stated that they were "not at all informed." Forty-three percent of the respondents cited"usage" as to how they obtain information about the park and trail system. The"Villager" followed with twenty-six percent. In response to questions regarding the park system, the highest percentage (70 percent) of respondents indicated that they utilized"smaller neighborhood parks." Sixty-four percent stated that their household used the "community parks."And one-half of the residents reported using the "trails." Proposed Recreational Projects In the survey, respondents were asked their opinion on new recreational facilities ranging from a golf course to an ice area. For instance, forty-seven percent stated that they oppose a municipal golf course. There was a similar response for both an outdoor and indoor municipal swimming pool. Forty-nine percent were opposed to an indoor pool and fifty-one percent were opposed to an outdoor pool. The survey indicated that many(47 percent) of the residents do not support an indoor ice arena. However, fifty-six percent stated that they would support a"full service community center." Park and Open Space 03/11/98 Page 7 2020 PARK AND OPEN SPACE PLAN The 2020 Park and Open Space Plan places an greater emphasis on preserving passive open space than acquiring land for an active use. The natural features found in this City enable passive, nature-oriented recreational activities. The City recognizes that this sensitive land is finite in supply. As development has occurred, the challenge of accommodating the needs of the population and protecting and preserving the vulnerable environment has become apparent. Land Use Plan The 2020 Land Use Plan indicates that 12 percent(1,707 acres) of the land in the City is guided park land or open space. Although this plan does not specifically provide for additional park and open space, recreational facilities will need to be constructed to serve those not located within the service area of an existing facility. Open space will be maintained using the standards of the Bluff Creek Overlay District. Also, highly desirable open space parcels are proposed to be purchased in the southern portion of the City. 1997 Park Bond Referendum In June 1997, a $4.9 million park bond was approved. This funding will enable the majority of the parks to be improved, the expansion of two parks, the preservation of open space in the southern portion of the City(south of Lyman Blvd.), and the construction of trail segments throughout the City. The following is a list of the improvements, expansions and constructions that is proposed to take place. Improve Neighborhood Parks Expand Community Parks New Trails Carver Beach Park Bandimere Park Hwy. 7(1 mi.) Carver Beach Playground City Center Park Galpin Blvd.(1.75 mi.)

Kerber Pond Park Meadow Green Park Minnewashta Heights Park North Lotus Lake Park Pheasant Hill Park Power Hill Park Prairie Knoll Park Rice Marsh Lake Park Roundhouse Park South Lotus Lake Park Stone Creek Park Sunset Ridge Park Park and Open Space 03/11/98 Page 8 Recreational Needs Based on Population The 2020 plan will address the needs of future populations. This need is calculated using the population ratio standard. This standard is expressed as a number of acres of park land per one thousand people and is used to provide a general guideline for the assessment of future needs. Only parks will be assessed since a standard is absent for open space. This assessment will only be completed for the years 2000, 2010 and 2020. The following standards are utilized in the tables below: Park System(overall): 13 acres/1,000 people Neighborhood Park: 5 acres/1,000 people Community Park: 7 acres/1,000 people 2000 ASSESSMENT OF FUTURE NEED - POPULATION 19,045* Component Existing Acreage Standard Estimate Acreage I Net 200 Needed Park System 526 13 acres/1,000 248 +278 Neighborhood Park 234 5 acres/1,000 95 +139 Community Park 292 7 acres/1,000 133 +159 2010 ASSESSMENT OF FUTURE NEED - POPULATION 26,753* ComponentExisting Acreage I Standard Estimated I Net 2010 I I Acreage Needed 348 +178 13 acres/1,000 Park System 526 +100 Neighborhood Park 234 5 acres/1,000 134 Community Park 292 7 acres/1,000 187 +105 2020 ASSESSMENT OF FUTURE NEED - POPULATION 35,400* ComponentExisting Acreage I Standard I Estimated I Net 2020 I Acreage Needed Park System 526 13 acres/1,000 460 +66 Neighborhood Park 234 5 acres/1,000 177 +57 Community Park 292 7 acres/1,000 248 +44 *City of Chanhassen Planning Department Projections These estimates indicate that the City currently fulfills the estimated assessed need for 2020. However, additional neighborhood parks will probably be needed to serve new residential areas not located in an existing facility's service area. Park and Open Space 03/11/98 Page 9 The primary focus of the 2020 plan will be open space or passive recreation, although the City recognizes that there will be a need for additional neighborhood recreational facilities to serve new residential areas. It shall be a priority to preserve environmentally sensitive or significant areas before they are destroyed or altered by development. Park and Open Space 03/11/98 Page 10 PARK AND RECREATION GOALS AND POLICIES GOAL The City of Chanhassen will provide recreational facilities and open space areas which will reasonably meet the outdoor recreation needs of the community's residents and preserve and protect environmentally-sensitive areas and varied topography. POLICIES Provide park and open space facilities that emphasize accessibility and use by Chanhassen residents. Coordinate that expenditure of local funds for recreational open space with the schedules for the provision and development of other municipal services. The City should update and adopt the recreation open space element of the comprehensive plan at least every five years. An annual assessment of programs, identified needs and the capital improvement program should be conducted. Negotiations for the acquisition of recreational open space areas should be based upon appraisals by qualified appraisers. Reasonable efforts shall be made to acquire land by negotiated purchase before utilization of the power of eminent domain. The location, design, use and impact of recreation facilities should be compatible with and enhance the environment of both the site and surrounding area. Abandoned right-of-way should be reserved and preserved for public use if they can be utilized for recreational purposes. Encourage the cooperative effort between the school system and the City in the acquisition , development and usage of recreational lands and facilities. Provide open space areas which assist in the conservation and protection of ecologically sensitive areas. Provide a recreation system that integrates manmade facilities into the natural environment of the area. TRANSPORTATION Chanhassen's transportation system is directly linked with the growth and development of the community. As traffic levels build, inadequate access can affect the locational decisions of prospective residents, employers and businesses. Linkages to places of employment, entertainment, education, and shopping both inside and outside of the community plays a significant role in maintaining the community's vitality. The City of Chanhassen has an extensive history of interacting with other government agencies and utilizing self initiative to respond to transportation issues. For a number of years, the City has actively worked on the planning and implementation of the upgrade of T.H. 5, invested time and money into the T.H. 212 Environmental Impact Statement process and advance right-of-way acquisition through the Metropolitan Council's Right-of-way Acquisition Loan Fund (RALF)program, and participated in the design of T.H. 101 north of T.H. 5 (final design scheduled to be completed in 1998) and south of T.H. 5 and continue to work to secure funding for T.H.101 improvements. These efforts are reaching fruition with T.H. 5 currently programmed for improvement from County Road 17 to T.H. 41 in 2000 and 2001 (including frontage road West 78th Street from Lake Ann Park to T.H. 41), Highway 212 was officially mapped and partially funded. Continual efforts are needed to see these projects through to completion. T.H 5 and T.H. 212 constitute the only regional roadway improvements anticipated by the City that involve direct interaction with the Metropolitan Council. The City will continue to work ensure that T.H. 5 is improved between County Road 17 and Highway 41, that T.H. 101 is upgraded, and that T.H. 41 south of T.H. 5 is improved. The City participated in the Highway 7 Corridor Study with other municipalities, the Metropolitan Council and MnDOT. This effort is expected to result in incremental improvements along the highway in 2001. Hennepin County and MnDOT extended the Cross- town Highway to the northeast corner of Chanhassen in 1997 - 1998, which will improve access to the northern portion of the community. In 1987, the City commissioned a traffic study entitled "Year 2005 Land Use and Transportation Study. The study was to develop a transportation system plan for the Chanhassen CBD as well as major routes in the northern portion of the City. The Plan represented a major, City-sponsored effort to develop a comprehensive approach to improving our transportation system. The Year 2005 study made a series of recommendations, most of which have since been implemented or are programmed: 1. Designation of an interchange at Highway 101 at T.H. 212 to secure access to downtown Chanhassen. The interchange has been incorporated into current plans and official maps for the new highway. 2. Realignment of T.H. 101 with intersection improvements at T.H. 5. The City undertook the realignment of the Highway 101/Highway 5/West 78th Street intersection under a self-financed program and realigned Highway 101 south of Highway 5 to the Villages on the Ponds and Rosemount facility. The location of T.H. 101 has been modified from the Year 2005 study, being shifted from Dakota Avenue to a location to the west that aligns with new Market Boulevard. This alignment was selected based upon the "Highway 101/5 Preliminary Alignment and Land Use Corridor Study" completed by the City in 1989. Future extensions of new Highway 101 south to T.H. 212 will occur as needed to serve new development. Full improvement of the corridor may not occur until new T.H. 212 is constructed. Improvements south of T.H. 5 are under discussion with Carver County, but construction of these improvements depend on MNDOT turn-back program funding or other funding sources. 3. Realignment of the West 78th Street/County Road 17 intersection to provide adequate stacking distance from T.H. 5. 4. Creation of a new CBD access to Highway 5 to accommodate development and to reduce congestion at other intersections was completed by the City in 1989 with the construction of Market Boulevard. With the signalized intersection at T.H. 5, Market Boulevard will have continuity with realigned Highway 101. Other less specific recommendations included working with the County and State to determine the future of T.H. 101. Highway 101 represents a difficult issue for all concerned. It was designated a "temporary" state highway in the 1930's, as we understand it, and has consequently had little or no funding for improvements. The state is willing to turn it back to the counties, but the counties are unwilling to accept it without improvements. In Chanhassen, improving Hwy. 101 will require coordination and cooperation with Hennepin and Carver Counties and the City of Eden Prairie. Clearly, improvements are required for safety and to provide needed capacity. The City is willing to do its share as evidenced by the planned locally sponsored improvements. However, we are unwilling to assume the entire burden, nor do we feel this is reasonable since through trips constitute a significant percentage of the traffic volume. In 1989, the City entered into an agreement with Carver County, the cities of Chaska, Victoria, Carver and Waconia to undertake the Eastern Carver County Transportation Study. With the retention of a traffic consultant, the study developed a thorough understanding of traffic problems, anticipated future access needs and developed a comprehensive roadway system plan. In 1997 - 1998, the cities and Carver County are updating the study. Data gathered from the traffic modeling program will constitute the most accurate traffic growth projections to date. The participating communities and particularly Chanhassen have experienced growth rates far in excess of those anticipated in the Metropolitan Council's regional model. The regional model is currently used as the basic input in most traffic studies. In addition, the more localized focus of the study permits a more detailed analysis to be performed. (As a result of the first study, the City of Chanhassen and Carver County entered into an agreement to improve urban county roads in the city. All but Lyman Boulevard have been improved.) The results of the study are being incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan and a copy is attached in the appendix. 2 The City has not ignored mass transit issues. The City is a founding member and active supporter of the Southwest Metro Transit Commission. The transit service is one of the "opt-out" agreements with Metropolitan Council and offers a mix of fixed route and dial-a-ride services. The improvements offered by Southwest Metro include much higher levels of service and a more responsive system than was possible with the MTC. It has proven to be highly successful with steady increases in ridership. The City currently contains a "Park and Ride" facility and is working with Southwest Metro on new and improved locations. An integral component of the transportation system is the pedestrian and bicycle sidewalks and trails. In 1997, Chanhassen residents approved a park and trail bond referendum. One part of the referendum includes the construction of seven miles of trails within the community. The city continues to plan for an extensive trail system throughout the community. These trails will provide linkages between individual neighborhoods as well as connecting these neighborhoods to the rest of the community. As new development is proposed and reviewed, the city will continue to require that these pedestrian linkages be included as part of the development. Chanhassen has had a long and active involvement in transportation planning,programming and financing. The effort is expected to continue as the community develops over the next 20 years. CHANHASSEN STREET SYSTEM Chanhassen's existing street system consists of a series of local, collector, minor arterial and major arterial roads. The exhibit entitled Chanhassen Existing Street System portrays the road system and functional classifications that existed in 1998. This information was derived from recent work activities associated with the Eastern Carver County Transportation Study (Update). The existing street network includes approximately 140 miles of road. This represents almost a doubling of the road system from 75 miles in 1990. Road Type Length in Miles Trunk Highway 17.89 Trunk Highway turn-back 0.99 County State Aid 8.73 Municipal State Aid 16.75 County 3.05 Local 92.46 TOTAL 139.87 The following functional classification system was developed for the Eastern Carver County Transportation Study. It provides a framework that expands upon Metropolitan Council criteria to allow the appropriate designation of all streets and highways. It is also consistent with the classification system being used by Carver County and surrounding communities. 3 FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA MAJOR CRITERIA: Trip Origins and Destinations (Trip Focus) Speed and Length of Trip Access Control Spacing Principal Arterial Trip Focus: Interstate, Intrastate Speed: 45-65 mph Trip Length: >10 mi. Access: Fully controlled, no direct land access in urban areas; limited access in rural areas Spacing: 5-10 mi. Minor Arterial - Class I Trip Focus: Intrastate, Intercounty Speed: 40-55 mph Trip Length: >6 mi. Access: To arterials and collectors; land access to major trip generators Spacing: 2-4 mi. Minor Arterial - Class II Trip Focus: Intracounty, Intercity/township Speed: 35- 45 mph, urban; 40-55 mph, rural Trip Length: >4 mi. Access: To arterials and collectors; access to commercial, industrial, farms, high density residential Spacing: 1-2 mi. Collector- Class I Trip Focus: Intercity/township, Interneighborhood Speed: 35-45 mph, urban; 40-55 mph, rural Trip Length: >2 mi. Access: To arterials and collectors, local streets; land access to commercial, industrial, medium - density residential, farms, (emphasis on mobility vs. access) Spacing: <2 mi. 4 Collector- Class II Trip Focus: Interneighborhood, Intraneighborhood Speed: 30-40 mph,urban; 40-55 mph, rural Trip Length: <2 mi. Access: To minor arterials and collectors, local streets; land access to commercial, I industrial, farms, residential (emphasis on access vs. mobility) Spacing: <2 mi. FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION Earlier in this section the Functional Classifications of existing roadways was established according to criteria contained in the ECCTS. Chanhassen's Comprehensive Plan analyzed the following factors in defining functional classification: 1. Current functional and jurisdictional plans and policies of the City, Carver County, the Metropolitan Council and MnDOT. 2. Forecasted average daily traffic volumes on the roadway system. 3. Function of the roadways in meeting regional needs versus local needs; for example, how much traffic on a particular roadway is local traffic versus traffic through the City of Chanhassen. 4. Needs and abilities for funding capital and operating expenses. 5. The findings of the Eastern Carver County Transportation Study. The exhibit entitled 2000 Functional Classification presents the recommended functional classification system. The recommended system is generally consistent with current Carver County plans.

The roadway carries substantial vehicular traffic with movement generally uninhibited by signals or major street crossings within Chanhassen's limits. To the east, however, Highway 7 passes through Minnetonka and northern Hopkins where significant congestion occurs during peak hours due to frequent signalized intersections and commercial development. Recently,a comprehensive plan for the upgrading of T.H. 7 was prepared. In Chanhassen, the plan calls for turn lanes and minor local street closures. Safety improvement project MnDOT scheduled for 2000. T.H. 212 T.H. 212 is a planned principal arterial which is proposed to run diagonally through the southern portion of Chanhassen. The route which runs from Norwood to I-494 will be a four lane divided facility with controlled access. Plans call for two interchanges in Chanhassen, one at T.H. 101 and the other at CSAH 17. At the present time,official mapping has been completed and the EIS has been finalized. Partial funding is currently available for construction. T.H. 212 has right-of- way preservation status as part of the Metropolitan Council's regional plan. 6 Minor Arterial - Class I T.H. 5 - Arboretum Boulevard Highway 5 is the most important existing roadway in Chanhassen functioning as the transportation backbone of Chanhassen. It serves as the major link to the metropolitan are and because of its location adjacent to the population center, it provides access to a large number of people commuting to employment in other cities. T.H. 5 is also unique because it carries "reverse commuting" patterns. Employment opportunities in Chanhassen attract workers who travel westbound during the morning hours and eastbound in the evening. This movement counters Chanhassen residents who work in other locations in the Twin City area,most of which lie east of Chanhassen. Because of this, Highway 5 carries large volumes of traffic and at peak hours, is frequently congested and ineffective. Within Chanhassen, the flow of traffic along Highway 5 is interrupted by traffic signals at T.H. 41, CSAH 19 (Galpin Boulevard), CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard), T. H. 101 (Market Boulevard), Great Plains Boulevard, Dakota Avenue, and Dell Road. Additional signals may be installed at Century Boulevard and Audubon Road. There are no significant commercial or residential uses accessing directly onto Highway 5. Eastbound traffic on T.H. 5 typically connects with either 1-494 or T.H. 169/Hennepin County 62. From the Chanhassen border to I-494, Highway 5 contains a number of signalized intersections: Eden Prairie Road, Wallace Road, Mitchell Road, and Prairie Center Drive. This situation, combined with higher traffic volumes in Eden Prairie, causes significant traffic delays during peak hours. In 1987, MnDOT began a series of improvements which would significantly enhance the function of Highway 5. The first stage improvements resulted in the construction of four lanes from Wallace Road to Prairie Center Drive in Eden Prairie. The second phase constructed a four lane divided roadway from west of CSAH 4 to Wallace Road. The third phase of the project completed in 1993 constructed a four lane roadway from west of CSAH 17 in Chanhassen to west of CSAH 4 in Eden Prairie. Included in the project was the replacement of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad bridge south of the Chanhassen CBD. The next phase of improvements from west of CSAH 17 to T.H. 41 calls for the construction of a four lane divided roadway T.H. 5 and the north T.H. 5 Access Boulevard (west 78`h Street) currently programmed for 2000 and 2001. Chanhassen strongly advocates the continued extension of the T.H. 5 improvements to the western border of the community. Highway 41 - Hazeltine Boulevard The western portion of Chanhassen is bisected by Highway 41. This route is an important link between Highway 212 along the Minnesota River and Highway 7 to the north. There are significant safety and congestion problems projected at the intersection of T.H. 5 and T.H. 41. In addition, due to the significant vertical curve on the south approach to T.H. 5, there are safety concerns for the segment of road between 82'd Street and T. H. 5. Minor Arterial - Class II TH 101 - Great Plains Boulevard Based upon the Eastern Carver County Transportation Study, it is recommended that T.H. 101 be designated as Minor Arterial - Class II. The principal reasons for this recommendation are: 1. The projected year 2010 daily volumes are at the upper limit or exceed the recommended guidelines for volumes carried by a collector. 2. The roadway performs an important regional function connecting sub-regions in the area. 3. T.H. 101 is recommended to have interchange access to T.H. 212, a major arterial. 4. The City has historically limited direct access to T.H. 101 and will continue to do so. Through the City of Chanhassen, T.H. 101 intersections are generally controlled by either traffic signals or stop signs on the cross streets. Highway 169/212 - Flying Cloud Drive For discussion purposes, Highway 169 and 212 have been grouped together since they form one continuous roadway. T.H. 169/212 is a two lane undivided highway with no access control on the segment within Chanhassen. This road carries substantial "farm to market" truck traffic originating in western Minnesota and bound for destinations throughout the metropolitan area. Collector- Class I Collector- Class I streets serve as connections between neighborhoods and provide access to minor arterials, other collectors, and local streets. Within Chanhassen, the following are classified as Collector - Class I routes: • Minnewashta Parkway(This street serves as the only north/south route between Hwy. 5 and Hwy. 7, west of Lake Minnewashta. It is also located such that it likely serves some through trips from outside the City along Hwy. 5, traveling to the north to Hwy. 7, as well as locally generated traffic along its route. This area has undergone a fairly significant amount of development but there is considerably more development potential that is likely to be realized over the next decade.) • Galpin Boulevard (CSAH 117) • Powers Boulevard(CSAH 17) County Road 17 serves as one of Chanhassen's major north/south routes. County Road 17 currently extends south of T.H. 5 to Lyman Boulevard. In the future, it will be possible to extend the route to new T.H. 212 and south to Pioneer 8 Trail. • Kerber Boulevard • Market Boulevard • West 78th Street • Lake Drive - Lake Drive is being developed to serve two functions. These include local access south of Hwy. 5 and a parallel collector to Hwy. 5 capable of carrying off-loaded local trips of short to medium length. The City undertook a joint project with MnDOT and the City of Eden Prairie to extend Lake Drive east to the City line where it merges with the signalized intersection at Hwy. 5 and Dell Road. • Pleasant View Road - Pleasant View Road serves as the only east/west connection between CSAH 17 and T.H. 101 in northern Chanhassen. • Lake Lucy Road -Lake Lucy Road serves as the only east west connector between CSAH 17 and T. H. 41 in northern Chanhassen. • Coulter Boulevard- Coulter Boulevard is being developed to serve two functions. These include local access south of Hwy. 5 and a parallel collector to Hwy. 5 capable of carrying off-loaded local trips of short to medium length. • Century Boulevard • Audubon Road • Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18) • Pioneer Trail (CSAH 18) • Bluff Creek Drive • West 78th Street Each of these roadways contains or will contain two to four traveled lanes. Existing routes may have some direct land access. These routes, as well as additional ones designated in the future, are likely to carry higher traffic volumes as urban development continues. Chanhassen has different policies pertaining to construction standards for urban versus rural local streets. Urban roadways are required to dedicate 60 feet of right-of-way for local streets and 28 - 32 foot wide pavement width. Rural roadways are also required to have a bituminous surfacing 24 feet wide contained within a 60 foot right-of-way. Right-of-way widths may be reduced to 50 feet if there are extenuating environmental or physical constraints on a property. 5 Current city policy also allows the construction of private streets. Four single family residences may be served if it is demonstrated to be unfeasible or unnecessary to construct a public street. In such cases, 30 feet of easement is required with the roadway consisting of a 20 foot wide paved surface. Multi-family private streets require 24 feet of paved surface in 40 foot easements. Commercial, industrial, and office development may be served by 26 feet wide paved private streets within 40 foot wide access easements. TRANSPORTATION ISSUES/SYSTEM DEFICIENCIES The function of a transportation plan is to not only accommodate future needs but also to analyze existing problems and pose appropriate solutions. Frequently, existing problems are closely related to future needs. As a result, a specific action in a given area can remedy existing deficiencies while providing for future needs. In examining Chanhassen's existing transportation system, a general problem is readily apparent. The system provides adequate north/south access in terms of facility locations but is deficient in east/west routes. In the northeastern part of the city, T.H. 5 is located 3.5 miles from T.H. 7. This compares to maximum spacing of one mile for north/south routes in the same general area. System Deficiencies Map Issues and system deficiencies can be categorized into three types of conditions: 1) intersections, 2) road capacity/alignment/connections and 3)jurisdictional continuity. Each of these topics is addressed individually. Intersections/Access Chanhassen contains a number of intersections that currently are experiencing problems. A summary of these occurs as follows. 1. 7/Minnewashta Parkway- The major problem with this intersection is the angle with which northbound Minnewashta Parkway joins T.H. 7. As a result, it is difficult to identify eastbound traffic on T.H. 7 and turning movements from eastbound T.H. 7 to southbound Minnewashta Parkway are cumbersome. The City of Chanhassen completed improvements to Minnewashta Parkway in 1993. Due to heavy traffic volumes,particularly during peak hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. Installation of a traffic signal at this location is anticipated in the future. 2. 5/Lone Cedar Lane- The sight distance for southbound traffic on Lone Cedar Lane looking west along T.H. 5 is restricted by a hill. Chanhassen has entered into a cooperative agreement with MnDOT to close the existing access to T.H. 5 and replace it with a cul-de-sac. 10 3. 101/96th Street- At this intersection, a blind curve exists due to the vertical curve of T.H. 101. In 1989, sight distance was enhance by the removal of trees in the area. Further improvements are unlikely until T.H. 101 is reconstructed in the future. 4. Pioneer Trail and T.H. 101 - Sight distance problems occur for traffic on Pioneer Trail due to the vertical curvature of T.H. 101. Improvement of this situation requires a comprehensive approach and is not likely to occur until T.H. 101 is improved in southern Chanhassen. 5. 101 - Recent improvements to this intersection have significantly improved safety. Heavy traffic volumes continue to pose problems in this area. The construction of new T.H. 212 in the future will remove some of the existing traffic in this area. 6. 7/Lake Minnewashta area- T.H. 7 in northwestern Chanhassen along the north side of Lake Minnewashta intersects a number of local streets. Due to heavy traffic volumes,particularly during peak hours, turning movements in this area are difficult. In this area, T.H. 7 does not contain lanes specifically designed to accommodate free flowing traffic. Eventual implementation of the recommendations contained in the T.H. 7 Corridor Study will improve conditions in this area. 7. 5/Arboretum Entrance - Turning movements into and out of the Arboretum are complicated by the heavy traffic volumes along T.H. 5. In the future, this situation should be addressed in the reconstruction of the western segment of T.H. 5. 8. T.H. 41 - Existing sight distances in this area are inadequate to the vertical curvature of T.H. 41. Improvement of this area is not included in MnDOT's 20 year capital program. Road Capacity/Alignment/Connections Deficiencies in this category are evident due to capacity problems created by excessive volumes, alignment issues, or due to connection problems. Capacity problems are also caused by a lack of proper lane channelization, lack of signalization or due to the frequency of accesses. Specific examples of such circumstances include the following: T.H. 5 - Users of Highway 5 are aware that excessive congestion on this route occurs at various times of the day with concentrations during peak hours. Portions of T.H. 5 are overloaded for up to 8 hours per day. Traffic levels of approximately 7,000 to 7,500 vehicles per day is used to justify a four lane facility. In 1998, T.H. 5 carried 50,000 vehicles per day at Chanhassen's eastern border. Relief from the congestion of T.H. 5 will not occur until T.H. 212 is constructed through Chanhassen, which is currently is not included in MnDOT's 20 year capital improvement plan. Improvements that are currently programmed will significantly improve conditions on T.H. 5. It is extremely important in the future that the City continue to monitor funding levels to ensure that current plans are implemented. Additionally. the future function of T.H. 5 is dependent on 1. the construction of new T.H. 212. Without new T. H. 212, T.H. 5 will again be quickly over capacity, even with the implementation of planned improvements. T.H. 101 - Trunk Highway 101 is classified as a temporary trunk highway and as such, it has not received appropriations for any improvements with the exception of absolute minimum necessities. Recently, Hennepin County accepted jurisdiction of T.H. 101 within County boundaries. Since a substantial portion of T.H. 101 is in Carver County and Chanhassen specifically,jurisdictional and functional continuity are significant concerns that could have major consequences for the city. The jurisdictional problem is further compounded by the need for T.H. 101 improvements. The highway has significant alignment and geometric problems particularly south of T.H. 5. Carver County and Chanhassen are to take the lead role in promoting the improvement of T.H. 101 south of T.H. 5. Hennepin County is the lead agency on T.H. 101 north of T.H. 5. Currently, the county and city are working on completing a joint powers agreement. Pleasant View Road-The existing roadway alignment is inadequate in several areas. Sharp curves,garages located at the right-of-way line,hidden driveways and frequent vistas of Lotus Lake which serves as a distraction,all combine to create potentially dangerous conditions. Previous efforts to improve Pleasant View Road have been unsuccessful. As a result,the inadequacies of this route will continue to intensify in the future as traffic volumes continue to increase. CSAH 17 - South of Pioneer Trail, further extension is not feasible due to existing development and extreme variations in topography. Therefore, Chanhassen's only reasonable opportunity for a comprehensive north/south minor arterial route lies in the improvement of the T.H. 101 corridor. Lake Drive/Coulter Boulevard-For the street to serve its intended purpose, it is essential that it be extended to the west. The Comprehensive Plan illustrates its ultimate extension to Hwy. 41 where it will intersect with 82nd Street in Chaska. Jurisdictional Continuity Chanhassen contains a number of roads which pass through the community and into other municipalities. Because these routes fall under a variety of jurisdictions,continuity problems can occur. Routes of particular interest to Chanhassen include the following: 1. CSAH 17 -Within the city,this route has adequate right-of-way, sight distance, grades and setbacks to maintain a 45 to 50 mile per hour speed limit. North of Chanhassen, however,this road takes a different form as it enters Shorewood and Excelsior. In Shorewood, Carver County 17 becomes Hennepin County 82. Tight setbacks,poor sight distances, individual driveway accesses and reduced speeds exist in this area. As a result, the effectiveness of CSAH 17 as a northern access to T.H. 7 is diminished once it crosses Chanhassen's border. 12 2. CSAH 117 - is very similar to CSAH 17. The route functions effectively until it reaches the northern portion of Chanhassen where its alignment restricts traffic movement. 3. T.H. 5 - Issues pertaining to T.H. 5 have been previously presented. The jurisdictional continuity of T.H. 5 is extremely important to Chanhassen. Chanhassen will need to continually monitor MnDOT plans for this route as well as the desires of adjacent municipalities to ensure that T.H. 5 continues to function at the highest feasible level of service. 4. T.H. 101 - is discussed extensively in other sections of this chapter. It has significant jurisdictional continuity problems within Chanhassen's borders. LOCAL STREET IMPROVEMENTS As Chanhassen continues to develop, transportation conflicts and inconsistencies will become evident. These situations, unlike planning for major routes, are not predictable since they result from the merging of existing and new land use patterns. The Comprehensive Plan can be a useful tool in assisting the City in resolving these local access situations. It is the city's policy to require interconnections between neighborhoods to foster a sense of community, to improve safety, and to provide convenient access for residents. Often, during the subdivision review process, the need for future extension of local streets becomes apparent. As a result, access concepts are developed to assist in creating an acceptable configuration for the plat and as a guide for the future development of adjoining parcels. It is the City's intent that the Comprehensive Plan serve as an implementation tool by providing a means by which to record these access plans, legitimizing them by nature of the fact that they are approved by the City Council prior to recording. It also will provide a useful means of providing information to residents and developers seeking information or future development potential. These concept plans are illustrated below. Additional concept plans will be added to this document over time as they are developed. Tanadoona Drive-Dogwood Road/Crimson Bay Road - At the present time, Crimson Bay Road does not connect to Dogwood Road to Tanadoona Drive. Correspondingly, both of these neighborhoods have only one means of egress/ingress. A future street connection in this area is needed to alleviate existing access problems. Carver Beach Road Conditions - Chanhassen's Carver Beach neighborhood was one of the first residential developments on Lotus Lake. This area consists of smaller lots and narrow rights-of-way. Drainage problems occur due to topography and a lack of storm sewer facilities in some portions of the area. Improvement of existing conditions can only occur in a comprehensive manner involving the reconstruction of both streets and utility systems. Because of development constraints, typical street standards will not be applicable in this area. Nez Perce/Pleasant View Road Connection- During review of the Vineland Forest plat, it was 13 evident that a connection between Nez Perce/Lake Lucy Road and Pleasant View Road was warranted since there was no north/south connection between County Road 17 and Lotus Lake. Improved access is needed for local trips and to ensure the adequate provision of emergency services. At the same time, there were concerns voiced regarding the introduction of additional trips onto Pleasant View Road since the street already suffers from capacity and design constraints. Therefore, it was determined that the Pleasant View Road intersection should be located as far west as possible at the Peaceful Lane intersection. Melody Hill connection between Chaska Road and Murray Hill Road. This connection would provide an alternate means of access to the Minnetonka Middle School. In addition, it would provide local access for residents to the neighborhood commercial center at T.H. 7 and T.H. 41. Currently, residents must drive in to Shorewood and loop back on Chaska Road to reach these areas. This connection would provide only local access in this area, since the completion of Lake Lucy Road to the south will serve as the primary east/west connection for northern Chanhassen between Galpin Boulevard and T.H. 41. Timberwood Drive/Stone Creek Court. The neighborhoods of Timberwood Estates and Stone Creek are separated by approximately 30 feet of unfinished roads. This connection would permit the residents of Timberwood Estates to access the Bluff Creek trail system. In addition, this connection could provide a secondary access for Timberwood Estates for residents and emergency vehicles. Kiowa Trail/Springfield Drive. Back-to-back cul-de-sacs shall be provided at the Kiowa Trail connection. The pavement for the northern cul-de-sac shall be installed to the project property line. A breakaway barricade shall be installed to prohibit through traffic on Kiowa Trail. The cul-de-sac shall be temporary until either area residents petition the City to open the connection or Highway 212 is constructed at which time traffic patterns will be changed. TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT ZONES The analysis and projection of regional traffic conditions is conducted utilizing a technique known as traffic assignment zones. Traffic assignment zones (TAZ's) are defined geographical areas within which data such as population, employment and household information is collected. This data is analyzed through computer modeling techniques which results in forecasts of traffic movement between zones. Utilizing this technique, it is possible to project travel and demand such as person-trip productions, person-trip attractions, intrazonal person trips and motor vehicle data such as average daily trips and peak hour trips. This data is valuable in both local and regional transportation planning. The analysis of roadway deficiencies presented to this point is based upon preexisting situations. Traffic forecasts developed by the Eastern Carver County Transportation Study are being utilized to anticipate problems that will result from anticipated growth. Having anticipated these problems, it should be possible to design improvements required to resolve them and these are 14 CO CO O 0 N C D d N M N 01.0-N N C 0 CO d 0 0 0 0 0 N CD N O N 0 0 00 N O OSS O^ 288.2 OO 0 0 N 000 g NO �j ^ ^ M ^ N- CD O CD r",.., ^ .-.3.

Chanhassen is contained within all or part of eleven different traffic assignment zones Chanhassen completed Traffic Assignment Zone projections for 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2020 as part of the Eastern Carver County Transportation Study Update. TAZ's developed for the Eastern Carver County Study are subsets of the Metropolitan Council's TAZ's, thus offering much greater detail but allowing coordination with the Metropolitan Council's regional modeling efforts as well. The following is a presentation of this information: 2010 TAZ PROJECTIONS PLANNED AND RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS Traffic on Chanhassen's roadway system will continue to increase due to new commercial, residential and industrial development and changes in socio-economic conditions. The impact of added traffic will be more evident on the City's major streets, primarily the minor arterial and collector routes. In order to ensure that traffic concerns are addressed thoroughly and comprehensively, the transportation chapter of the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan contains a planned and recommended roadway system for the year 2020. This system is the result of both current and past planning efforts including the 1980 and 1991 Comprehensive Plans, the Year 2005 Land Use and Transportation Study,the Highway 101/5 Preliminary Alignment and Land Use Corridor Study, the Highway 5 Corridor Land Use Design Study, and the Eastern Carver County Transportation Studies 1990 and 1998 (ECCTS). Functional Classification Transportation System Map The ECCTS employed a modeling program to forecast traffic levels on area roads. The forecasts are based upon anticipated traffic levels by the years 2000, 2010, 2020. The information is provided in detail in the attached copy of the ECCTS. The forecasts were based upon an anticipated roadway system which includes completion of Hwy. 5 and Hwy. 212 and a number of other street projects in the City. Some of the forecasts are extremely high and indicative of significant potential problems. For example, Hwy. 5 near the Chanhassen CBD is anticipated to be carrying over 51,000 trips per day. These volumes are representative of volumes normally experienced by a 4 lane, limited access arterial highway and not a 4 lane, at grade minor arterial with signalized intersections. The following major improvements are components of the recommended and planned transportation system: T.H. 5 -As was referenced previously in this report, T.H. 5 is scheduled to be improved by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. By approximately 2002, T.H. 5 will exist as a four lane road from T.H. 41 in Chanhassen to 1-494 in Eden Prairie. This improvement, which will include turn lanes, will help mitigate peak hour traffic congestion in Chanhassen and Eden If Prairie. The City will continue to work to get T.H. 5 improved to Chanhassen's western border. The ECCTS indicates a need to 4 lane Hwy. 5 west towards Victoria to accommodate traffic flows. Cross-town Highway/Townline Road-This improvement entailed the extension of Townline Road from I-494 west to T.H. 101 at the Chanhassen-Eden Prairie-Minnetonka border. The extension of this route, completed in 1998, will have a major impact on T.H. 101 which serves as the common Chanhassen/Eden Prairie boundary north of T.H. 5. State Trunk Highway 212 - Construction of T.H. 212 along a new alignment has been under consideration since the early 1950's. Cities along the corridor have cooperated in providing funding to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for the project and have officially mapped the right-of-way within the corridor. Plans call for T.H. 212 to be built as a four lane freeway facility. At present, the route will be constructed to CSAH 4 over the next two years and up to Lyman Boulevard in Chanhassen from CSAH 4 during the next 20 years. The project is only partially funded. Dell Road/West 184th Avenue - Dell Road in Eden Prairie parallels T.H. 101 and is classified by the City of Eden Prairie as a collector roadway north to T.H. 5 and a minor arterial south of T.H. 5. It provides a connection from Townline Road on the north to Pioneer Trail on the south. Depending upon its design and access to the State Trunk Highway system, Dell Road could play a greater or lesser traffic role than envisioned by the City of Eden Prairie. The Dell Road/T.H. 5 intersection was signalized as part of the T.H. 5 improvement project. Lake Drive - Lake Drive is a planned east/west collector street located south of T.H. 5. This route will serve as an important collector for Chanhassen's eastern industrial area. The last segment of Lake Drive still to be completed will connect Audubon Road to Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17). The alignment of this route south of T.H. 5 separates planned industrial uses from planned residential uses. T.H. 101 - Planning efforts since 1980 have consistently identified the need for improvements to T.H. 101. A design study for the roadway to Townline Road. Town Line Road is scheduled to be completed in 1998. Planned improvements north of T.H. 5 consist primarily of reconstruction and realignment of the route north of the intersection of T.H. 101 and West 78th Street to effectuate better traffic flow. South of T.H. 5, major improvements are needed. The 1980 and 1991 Comprehensive Plans and the 2005 Land Use and Transportation Study called for the total realignment of T.H. 101 between T.H. 5 and Lyman Boulevard. In reviewing the T.H. 101 corridor, the City recognized that since the realignment will involve total reconstruction, a unique opportunity exists to create T.H. 101 as an attractive approach to the community. The planned interchange of T.H. 212 and T.H. 101 will provide downtown Chanhassen and the industrial area with a new entrance. In order to maximize visual and functional concerns,T.H. 101 is planned for reconstruction as a boulevard/parkway with a landscaped median area from new T.H. 212 to T.H. 5. The alignment of T.H. 101 as it approaches T.H. 5 was relocated to the west to intersect Market Boulevard. T.H. 5 will serve as a 16 brief east/west link for T.H. 101 between Market Boulevard and Dakota Avenue where the route will continue to the north. Highway 101 north of T.H. 5 and south of T.H. 212 are clearly in need of improvements. These improvements are justified today based on capacity and safety concerns. The ECCTS projects over 12,000 trips per day on both segments. T.H. 5 West 78th Street (T.H. 41 To CSAH 17) -A frontage road along the north side of Highway 5 between CSAH 17 and T.H. 41 is planned to serve short term and eventually long term development in the area. In 1997, the frontage road was constructed to Lake Ann Park and the access into Lake Ann Park at T.H. 5 was closed. The frontage road will also provide direct access to the residential and neighborhood commercial uses planned along the north side of T.H. 5. T.H. 7 (North Minnewashta Area) - A study of the entire T.H. 7 corridor was completed in late 1986. Various alternatives were identified to improve the corridor along the north side of Lake Minnewashta. The alternatives involved a variety of street closures and re-routings in the residential areas east of Minnewashta Parkway. The goal of the recommendations is to reduce the total number of intersections along the route thereby improving traffic flow. At the present time, Chanhassen and the other communities along the corridor are working with MnDOT in implementing the recommendations as funding becomes available, which is currently programmed for 2000 and 2001. T.H. 41 - Historically, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has had an interest in realigning and extending T.H. 41 south to and across the Minnesota River. To date, however, there are no plans to actually implement a new road along this alignment. This alignment is identified on the Carver County Transportation Plan as a "study and/or reserve right-of-way" corridor. It is not currently identified on Chanhassen's transportation system, however, it can be added if the County or State feel that the realignment is still justified. If appropriate, the City of Chanhassen will work with Carver County and the City of Chaska to further define the need for the realignment of T.H. 41 including the possibility of a new river crossing. However, if the current alignment is retained, T.H. 41 would need to be upgraded to a four lane cross section from T.H. 5 south into Chaska. In addition, the vertical alignment of the south approach to T. H. 5 must be reduced to improve the safety of this heavily used intersection. T.H. 101/Proposed T. H. 212 and CSAH 17/Proposed T. H. 212 Interchanges - Plans for new T.H. 212 call for an interchange at T.H. 101 in Chanhassen and construction of an interchange at County Road 17 and T.H. 212. East/West Collector. South of T.H. 5 - At the present time, the Chanhassen transportation system does not accommodate east/west movements, south of T.H. 5 between Audubon Road and T.H. 41. A collector roadway system in this area is needed to provide access to property and to discourage local trips from using T.H. 5.Coulter Boulevard will be completed from Audubon Road west of Galpin in 1998. This project will complete the south T.H. 5 frontage road. RIGHT-OF-WAY WIDTHS The City of Chanhassen has direct control of all local streets and some collectors and minor arterials. In order for each of these routes to fulfill their function, right-of-way widths have been established for each type of facility. These width recommendations will be used in the review of all new street improvement projects. Roadway Right-of-Way Minor arterial 100-150 feet Collector 60-100 feet Local (Rural) 60 feet Local (Urban) 60 feet The selected right-of-way width for any street improvement project is dependent upon existing and future traffic capacities and the desire for amenities along the route such as landscaped median areas. In addition, right-of-way widths may be reduced if the city determines that such reduction preserves natural features or meets other community development goals. STREET IMPROVEMENTS - AMENITIES The City of Chanhassen has established an overall goal of implementing a transportation system which is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Aesthetic enhancement of roadways is being accomplished through unified signage, lighting, and landscaping of right-of-way areas. Landscaping of right-of-way areas should be included in new construction projects and reconstruction of existing streets. A mix of plant materials should be used to provide variety and color along right-of-way areas. LOCAL STREETS In previous planning efforts, Chanhassen has considered local streets as those primarily serving low traffic residential areas. Due to decreases in State and Federal highway funding in recent years, local streets have begun to play a greater role in handling traffic that previously may have utilized State and County roadways. Examples of this situation are Trunk Highways 5 and 7 which carry significant traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours. Due to congestion, motorists seek alternative routes for all or part of their journeys. At times, these routes involve local roadways. Funding for new highways and the upgrading of existing facilities is not expected to significantly increase in the near future. As a result, the local circulation system is likely to experience additional traffic, an increased percentage of which is of non-local origin and destination trips. 18 As local street improvements are considered in the future, capacity projections should reflect the possibility of increased traffic if they have the potential to serve as "relievers" for higher classification roadways. JURISDICTIONAL CLASSIFICATION Consideration of functional classification is significant in the analysis of jurisdictional classification. In general,principal arterials are under the jurisdiction of the State; minor arterials - Class I are State roadways; minor arterials - Class II are either State or County roadways and collector- Class I roadways are under the jurisdiction of the City. Other criteria which effect jurisdiction include historical jurisdiction, provisions for local access, continuity and funding for capital and maintenance expenses. In general, the current jurisdictional responsibilities(state, county and local) are generally consistent with the above criteria and with the recommended roadway system. AIRPORTS There are no existing or planned airports within the City of Chanhassen. Commercial air service is available at Twin Cities International Airport and general aviation is available at Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie. Flying Cloud Airport is approximately 4 miles from Chanhassen. Despite the lack of airports in Chanhassen, the City has two primary aviation concerns: first, that physical obstructions are controlled and secondly, seaplane operations. At the present time, the tallest manmade structures within Chanhassen are the City's water towers, which average 135 feet. Structures under 200 feet are not considered obstructions under State rules. Radio towers are the only potential structures that may exceed the 200 foot threshold. If proposals for towers occur, the city will require that they comply with all State, Federal and local requirements. Lakes Minnewashta and Riley are used by seaplanes at the present time. To date, there have been few conflicts between boat traffic and seaplane usage. Continued usage in these areas is not viewed as a major issue due to the small number of aircraft and off peak hour operation by their owners. If in the future, the numbers of aircraft increases or the potential for serious usage conflicts occurs, the City may work with State and regional authorities to limit or ban seaplane usage. TRANSIT The preceding sections of this plan have considered transportation primarily in the context of the private automobile. Although private cars comprise the most commonly used mode of transportation for Chanhassen residents,mass transit serves as an important alternative to automobile use and serves as one leg of a multi-model transportation strategy for the community. 19 Two forms of mass transit, buses and light rail and commuter rail, are specific components of this plan. Buses - In late 1986, Chanhassen joined the cities of Eden Prairie and Chaska in the creation of the Southwest Area Transit Commission, operated under a joint powers agreement between the communities, to provide transit service known as the Southwest Metro. Chanhassen's contract with Chaska and Eden Prairie is a joint powers agreement renewable on an annual basis. The City will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the Southwest Metro program in providing cost effective transit service to the City of Chanhassen. There are several services provided by Southwest Metro: Express Service - This service provides express service for passengers working in downtown Minneapolis. Riders are picked up at the park and ride lot in Chanhassen and driven to downtown Minneapolis without stopping. At the end of the workday, the service is reversed taking passengers back to Chanhassen in an expressed manner. Tele-bus - Residents are able to make reservations for dial-a-ride bus service which provides for address to address transit within Chanhassen, Chaska, and Eden Prairie. Individuals may also have standing reservations for this service, providing transit service for their work needs, service needs, and to provide transit for children after school. Circulator- Circulator bus service within the three communities served by Southwest Metro was established in 1997. This service connects riders to major destination points in the three cities. This service provides direct connections for Chanhassen residents to Chaska and Eden Prairie. Reverse Commute - To serve business in the area, the local Chambers of Commerce created a Reverse Commute Task Force which in conjunction with other agencies helps to match employees in Minneapolis with businesses in Chanhassen. These routes start in Minneapolis and bring passengers to job sites in Chanhassen. Starting with only five passengers in 1992, the program has grown to serve approximately 400 -450 passengers and 45 - 50 employers. The City's rapid growth as an employment concentration warrants service to facilitate work trips. Special Routes - Southwest Metro provides special service routes to regional locations including Southdale, the Mall of America, and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Other Services - Because the agencies mission is to meet the transit needs of the community, Southwest Metro provides a variety of other transit opportunities. For example, group rides are available for a variety of business, schools, organization, and others. Wherever possible, Southwest Metro provides buses for little or not charge for community purposes in Chanhassen and other service communities. In addition, the report lists potential new services Southwest Metro may consider and proposes new policy agendas to promote Travel Demand Management (TDM) strategies. A copy of this report is provided as an appendix to this Plan. 20 Chanhassen currently maintains a park and ride stop on Market Boulevard. Eventually, the city would like to relocate the stop to a location that provides improved utilization and permanent parking facilities. The City will also work with Southwest Metro to locate park and ride stops at the future Hwy. 101/Hwy. 212 interchange and potentially at the east end of the Central Business District. Lastly, the City supports investigation of TDM strategies to reduce trip levels on area roads. The City will be advocating the development of a multi-community, multi-county partnership with the business community to promote these strategies. Light Rail Transit(LRT) - Light rail transit is a mode of transportation that is currently being considered for construction in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. In 1987, Hennepin County received authorization from the State Legislature to prepare a Comprehensive LRT System Plan for Hennepin County. The Hennepin County Board intends to implement light rail transit in the county. Toward that end, the County established the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority to administer, at least, the initial stage of the system. Hennepin County owns railroad right-of-way from downtown Minneapolis to Victoria. Other counties in the metropolitan area have followed Hennepin County's lead and have also established railroad authorities. Early system planning has identified two routes, one or both of which may ultimately be extended into Chanhassen. Of the two, the northern alignment has received the highest priority. Although both alignments provide potential benefits to Chanhassen residents, neither significantly impacts the city in terms of land use and direct accessibility. There are no proposed station sites within Chanhassen's borders. The northern alignment which has an identified station in Excelsior provides the most benefit to Chanhassen since the City's population resides primarily in the northern half of the community. The southern alignment travels along the bluff area in southern Chanhassen which is presently outside of the MUSA line area and not likely to see urban development within the time frame of this plan. As a result, it is viewed as somewhat of a commuting route from Chaska to downtown Minneapolis and various stations along the route. If the northern route is eventually implemented, Chanhassen residents wishing to use the system will have to rely on bus transit connections to Excelsior(if available)or will require park and ride sites in the vicinity of the station. The City will continue to monitor the implementation of light rail and station plans to assess their adequacy and their impact on existing private patterns and bus transit systems. Commuter Rail - The city supports the continuing investigation of Commuter Rail as a transportation alternative for the community, the region, and the state. The Twin City& Western Line, which runs through the heart of Chanhassen is currently under consideration as a possible route. 21 TRAILS AND SIDEWALKS While discussed primarily as part of the recreation element,the city desires to be pedestrian friendly. To accomplish this, the city must assure that city improvements and private developments provide pedestrian and bicycle linkages. An integral component of the transportation system is the pedestrian and bicycle sidewalks and trails. The city continues to plan for an extensive trail system throughout the community. These trails will provide linkages between individual neighborhoods as well as connecting these neighborhoods to the rest of the community. As new development is proposed and reviewed,the city will continue to require that these pedestrian linkages be included as part of the development. IMPLEMENTATION Chanhassen's transportation system has been the subject of various studies since 1968. Since that time,the system has seen significant improvements such as the construction of CSAH 17, improvement of Lake Lucy Road, construction of Kerber Boulevard,reconstruction of downtown streets, the improvements to T.H. 5, reconstruction of Galpin Boulevard south of T.H. 5, reconstruction of Powers Boulevard, the extension of the north T.H. 5 frontage road to Lake Ann, the construction of Coulter Boulevard, and the realignment of T.H. 101. Over the past few years,however, implementing planned transportation projects has become an increasingly difficult task. This has occurred primarily due to reductions in federal spending which means that state and local governments have fewer available resources. This pattern has placed added pressure on the budgets of the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the City of Chanhassen. The planned improvements to T.H. 5 and T.H. 212 are evidence of this trend. Chanhassen along with adjacent municipalities and applicable counties funded a portion of the cost of the preparation of the environmental impact statement(EIS) for T.H. 212. Additionally, the City allocated$50,000 over a two year period to expedite the design and eventual construction of the T.H. 5 improvements. Chanhassen also contributed to the preparation of the T.H. 7 Corridor Study that was completed in 1986. The City of Chanhassen recognizes that transportation projects over the next 10 to 20 years will continue to require local resources. This raises two immediate concerns: 1)that local money be used to fund projects that principally serve local residents and 2)what sources of additional funds will be available? Chanhassen's roadway system can be classified into routes that serve primarily local residents such as Kerber Boulevard and routes that serve regional and statewide travelers in addition to local residents. T.H. 5 and T.H. 101 are examples of routes in the second category. Routes that serve large volumes of regional and statewide traffic are the principal responsibility of the Minnesota Department of Transportation and in some cases, Carver County. Therefore, City participation in funding improvements to such routes will be limited. 22 Limited participation in regional routes and total participation in local routes will continue to require additional funding by the City of Chanhassen. Sources of such funds may include Chapter 429 assessments, the general fund, tax increment financing and impact fees. Impact fees which require major new developers to fund portions of directly related transportation projects are beginning to be used by Twin City area municipalities. This concept will be closely reviewed to determine its applicability to Chanhassen. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDED SYSTEM The overall general recommendation of this plan is to implement the Recommended System. The following general steps will be taken in order to accomplish this task. Interagency Cooperation - Chanhassen will continue to work with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the Metropolitan Council, Carver County, Hennepin County and adjacent municipalities to implement roadway and transit improvements including a light rail system. Funding Sources - Chanhassen will continue to investigate all sources of federal, state, regional, local and private sources of transportation funding where possible from local lobbying groups seeking transportation improvements providing such improvements are identified in this plan and are consistent with City priorities. System Monitoring- Transportation improvements need to keep pace with urban development. T.H. 5 is a current example of a route that is operating far beyond reasonable capacity. This impacts the residential, commercial and industrial segments of the community. In an attempt to avoid aggravating existing problems and creating future deficiencies, the city will closely monitor all development proposals. Detailed circulation and access plans will be required to assess the impact of proposed major new developments on both the existing and future transportation systems. GOALS AND POLICIES GOAL Create a multi-modal transportation system which permits the safe, efficient and effective movement of people and goods. POLICIES Provide a local transportation system which is consistent with the plans and programs of the Counties, Metropolitan and State systems as well as with the overall growth policies of the City of Chanhassen. Transportation facilities should be planned and designed to be compatible with the surrounding environment. Encourage multiple use of right-of-way areas accommodating various modes of transportation. Thoroughfares and major routes should be planned so as to reduce conflicts between external traffic and local traffic while minimizing the disruption or division of the logical pattern of development in the community. Combine streets, highways, mass transit, terminals, and parking facilities, and pedestrian and bicycle access into a coordinated transportation system. Provide flexibility for additions or modifications to the transportation system by basing right-of-way requirements on an evaluation of future transportation needs. The city will utilize the land use plan and transportation plan maps to illustrate planned road alignments and to facilitate their acquisition and construction as new developments are proposed. The plan maps will illustrate all collector and arterial street alignments. They will also be amended from time to time by the City during the subdivision review process. As a part of platting, each development should provide dedication and improvement of public streets consistent with the standards found in city ordinances. The city will promote the provision of street and pedestrian connections to maximize safety and ease of access. Neighborhoods should be planned and designed to limit or discourage external (cut-through) trips traversing the neighborhood. Sufficient setbacks and/or berming should be designed into all development projects adjacent to major public roadways. Coordinate existing and planned transportation facilities and their capacities with land use types and densities with particular emphasis on land development in the vicinity of interchanges and intersections. Promote increased development of bikeways and trail facilities in order to conserve energy resources, enhance recreational opportunities and assist in the abatement of pollution and congestion. Promote safe and convenient access connections between the highway system and major commercial areas, industrial uses, and residential neighborhoods. The City should cooperate with the Metropolitan Council and Southwest Metro Transit Commission in order to provide future transit service to and within the community. The City will support the development of park and ride facilities that encourage transit use. 24 In major areas of employment and commercial activity and in higher density residential and mixed use areas, sufficient parking and transfer and bus stop facilities areas should be provided to meet the needs of mass transit. The City will continue an ongoing maintenance program in order to maximize the community's investment in transportation facilities. For proposed developments, the City will require detailed circulation and access plans which depict the impact of the proposed development on both the existing and future transportation systems. Through the development review process, the City will strive to discourage development from occurring within the designated roadway corridors as well as limiting access to collector streets, minor arterials, intermediate arterials and principal arterials. The City will implement roadway design standards and inspection practices which ensure proper construction. Chanhassen shall require sidewalks and/or trails in commercial, industrial, medium and high density residential areas; adjacent to schools and other public buildings; and along at least one side of collectors and other high volume roads. The City will support Federal, State, Metropolitan and local efforts directed toward the timely construction of Trunk Highway 169/212, upgrading of Hwy. 5, realignment and construction of Hwy. 101, south of T.H. 5, upgrading of 101 north of T.H. 5, T.H. 41, and other facilities serving the area. Chanhassen will coordinate efforts with Eden Prairie and other appropriate jurisdictions to insure that Highways 5 and 101 continue to function effectively. Chanhassen will coordinate the construction and maintenance of hard surfaced local streets, collectors, and arterials. Within the Rural Service Area, the City will provide and maintain a transportation system consistent with the needs of agricultural land uses. The City will support Federal, State, Metropolitan and local efforts directed toward the provision of rail transit for the community, the region, and the state. g:\plan\comp plan\transportation.doc NATURAL RESOURCES PURPOSE The City of Chanhassen recognizes the importance of its natural environment to the quality of life for its citizens and the need to protect and enhance these resources. This chapter of the Comprehensive Plan outlines the accomplishments, challenges, and future goals for the City's natural features. As development places further pressures on the city's resources, challenges and limitations will need to be met head-on with creativity and a commitment to a community privileged with environmental assets. While there will be constraints and obstacles to implementing any program or policy pertaining to the environment, Chanhassen acknowledges the necessity and importance of its natural resources. Past experience proves that multiple jurisdictions, time constraints, and funding constraints do not necessarily discourage or limit progress in the natural resources agenda. Nor should the community's natural resources deter appropriate development. Rather, the two should serve to complement one another to create a balanced community with a high quality of life for all residents. This chapter should reflect the City's commitment to the utilization, conservation and preservation of its natural resources. NATURAL FEATURES Natural features pose specific constraints as well as development opportunities. Additionally, they add a set of perceptions or values which make a specific geographic area unique and different. However, in order to consider physical parameters within the planning process, it is first necessary to identify pertinent natural features. Upon identification,policies can be established to maximize these resources and enhance their benefit to the community. Natural features impact both community planning and site planning efforts. In site planning, topography, soil conditions, vegetation and drainage are major considerations. These factors are also important in community planning, however, land use recommendations contained in comprehensive plans generally focus on larger scale features. In Chanhassen, four large-scale features dominate the landscape. They include lakes, wetlands, creek and river corridors and tree cover. Each of these are reviewed as follows. LAKES Chanhassen contains nine major lakes, all but three of which lie solely within the community's corporate boundaries. These lakes serve as a habitat for fish and wildlife and offer recreational opportunities for adjacent residents and the general public. The City's lakes also contribute to Chanhassen's community identity. They are typically surrounded by desirable neighborhoods having unique identities often intertwined with that of the lake. The City of Chanhassen has already established a series of protective measures for the lakes. The current zoning ordinance establishes a shoreland overlay district that was consistent with guidelines established by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Currently, the City's shoreline alterations ordinance is more restrictive than those required by the DNR and area watershed districts. However, there are few areas left on recreational lakes in which development can occur. The most recent proposals for development along lakes has come in the form of attempts to split existing lakeshore lots. The City's lakes are divided into two categories as follows: NATURAL ENVIRONMENT LAKES RECREATIONAL DEVELOPMENT LAKES Rice Marsh Lake Lake Riley Harrison Lake Lake Lucy Lake St. Joe Lake Ann Silver Lake Lake Susan Lake Minnewashta Christmas Lake Lotus Lake In 1994, the City of Chanhassen adopted a Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) which identified the need for protection of lakes and wetlands. This plan identified the City's wetlands, identified each lake's watershed district and each sub-watershed district. The plan also provided a design for using existing wetlands and creating new wetlands to manage water quantity and improve water quality. In this plan a new criteria was developed for the acceptable quantity and quality of runoff from new developments. Water quality impacts come from two sources which are broken down into point and non-point source pollution. Point source pollution is relatively easily to identify since it is typically generated by a single use or source. Fortunately Chanhassen lakes, with the exception of Rice Marsh Lake, have not been subjected to point source discharges. Rice Marsh Lake had previously been used as a discharge point for the area's old sewer treatment facility. Most agricultural use, another major pollution source, has since been eliminated, however, they have left a significant residue of organic material on lake bottoms. Non-point source pollution represents a significant potential impact to Chanhassen's lakes and is much more difficult to control since by definition there is no one particular source. Examples of non-point source pollution include fertilizers spread on residential properties that run off into area lakes and storm sewer outflows that flush organic materials from streets and paved surfaces into water bodies. This runoff has been found to have a high nutrient content which contributes to high nutrient loads within area lakes. Excessive nutrient levels increase the amount of algae within a lake, reducing visibility and eventually reducing the amount of oxygen available for fish populations. The City's SWMP requires all new developments to provide ponding that manages both water quality and increased quantities. In addition to the requirements of new developments, the City is using the SWMP to identify existing points along lakes where untreated water runs off directly into lakes. 2 Lake management plans have also been developed for the major lakes within the city, e.g. Lotus, Riley, Minnewashta and Christmas. In cooperation with the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District, a plan will be completed in 1997 for Lake Ann, Lake Lucy, and Lake Susan. These reports will be updated bi-annually with water quality tests and lake plant inventories. These plans list goals for increasing fish populations, reducing nutrient loading, dealing with exotic species and advice for lake friendly aquascaping. The City has also been working to pass a no wake ordinance that will protect lake shore from eroding due to wave action caused from boats during extreme high water periods. Although the City is working on long term projects to improve water quality, there are emerging issues with lakes for which there are no easy solutions. One of these issues is Eurasian Water milfoil. This exotic plant has taken hold in five of the City lakes, Christmas, Lotus, Minnewashta, Riley and Ann,and shows no sign of being controlled. Milfoil grows in depths up to 12 feet and mats itself on the surface of the water, impeding boat travel and swimming activities. Currently, the only effective method of control is using herbicides which only temporarily removes its growth. This practice creates a difficult dilemma for the City. Chemical treatment may provide short-term relief to the milfoil problem, but what effect do herbicides have on the lake's ecosystem? As the use of City lakes increases, the probability of other exotics invading the lakes are inevitable. The zebra mussel is another exotic species which has been found in Minnesota lakes and may soon invade Chanhassen waters. Increased use of public accesses is also a concern. With the increase in Chanhassen's population in recent years, the boat traffic on City lakes has also increased. As property taxes on lakeshore lots continually increase, the demand for services to manage the problems arising on City lakes will also increase. Future lake management within Chanhassen will be finding the balance of protecting and improving water quality,preventing overuse and abuse of the resources, while maintaining accessibility for all Chanhassen residents. WETLANDS In 1992, the state of Minnesota passed the Wetland Conservation Act(WCA), which put wetland protection and preservation into law. The goal of this act is to replace wetlands lost to previous activities and to prevent the loss of existing wetlands. Wetland identification and protection have become integral parts of all development throughout the entire state including Chanhassen The City of Chanhassen, who has had wetland protection ordinances in place since 1980, has continued to take the lead on the issue of wetlands and their protection. The City's 1994 Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP), included identification and reclassification of wetlands within the City. Low areas were identified as possible wetland sites. Wetland specialists made field identification of these sites and detailed data sheets documenting vegetation, landscape and existing conditions were compiled. These data sheets serve only as a guide for the City, and are not to be used as the defining wetland boundaries. Wetland boundaries are to be determined by professional delineations conducted by parties who propose to impact or develop land in and around these areas. In addition, any proposed development will be required to delineate their sites for the existence of wetlands. From this study, a wetlands map was generated and a new wetland classification system was implemented, replacing the State's classification system. The City went to four levels of wetland identification; Pristine,Natural,Ag/Urban and Utility. Pristine wetlands were identified as wetlands that remain in their natural state and have special and unusual qualities worth protecting. Natural wetlands are wetlands that still exist in their natural state and typically show little sign of impact from surrounding land use. Ag/Urban wetlands have been impacted by either agricultural or urbanization activities. Utility wetlands are water bodies specifically created to manage surface water created by development. The Seminary Fen located north of Hwy. 212, in the southwest corner of the City, is the only wetland classified pristine. In 1995, the Seminary Fen was identified by the Minnesota Biological Survey as the most important site in all of Hennepin, Carver and Scott Counties. There are approximately 90 acres of calcareous seepage fen in this area with rare and threatened plant species. Preserving and protecting this resource should be at the top of the City's wetland protection and preservation policies. With the change in wetland laws, the regulation of wetlands has also changed. The State of Minnesota appointed the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) to oversee the regulation of the WCA. BWSR, in return appointed Local Governing Units (LGUs) to implement the WCA for wetland activities. Chanhassen was appointed as LGU for activities in its own City. This change gave Chanhassen some responsibility and control over wetland activities, but permits and approval were still required from the Army Corps of Engineers, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and local watershed districts. In an attempt to simplify regulation, Chanhassen was one of a select few LGUs selected to participate in a program which would make LGUs the sole governing agency in cases where wetland impacts are less than three acres. In addition, 1996 revisions to the WCA allowed LGUs to develop their own comprehensive wetland plans. The City of Chanhassen has submitted a draft plan to BWSR, and because of previous work done in the SWMP, the City is in the final stages of having their plan approved. This plan allows the City to develop their own rules specific to wetlands in Chanhassen. The Chanhassen wetland comprehensive plan proposes to expand it's wetland classification system. Currently, 75 %of the wetlands identified in the City are identified as AG/urban. The Plan proposes to conduct function and value determinations of these wetlands to identify higher quality wetlands and make recommendations for restoration projects. The SWMP plan also initiated ordinances to protect wetlands above the requirements of the WCA. In addition to building setback requirements, each type of wetland also requires an additional protected area referred to as buffer zones. These buffer zones are undisturbed areas between wetlands and development. The goal is to have natural vegetation separation, to act as cover for wildlife and provide protection from urban runoff. The future of wetland protection and planning is dependent on following the recommendations of the Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP). The SWMP was written to serve the City as a tool to protect,preserve and enhance its water resources. The plan identifies from a regional perspective the stormwater quantity and quality improvements necessary to allow future 4 development to take place and minimize its impact to downstream water bodies. The general objectives of the Chanhassen Surface Water Management Plan are as follows: To improve and maintain lake water quality,preserve and enhance wetlands,prevent flooding,reduce erosion and sedimentation from surface flows,promote groundwater recharge, protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat,provide water recreational opportunities, enhance the natural beauty of the landscape, and to secure the other benefits associated with the proper management of surface water. Flood Protecting Goal "To provide 100-year flood protection for all persons and property." Water Quality Protection Goal "To protect and improve water quality within Chanhassen lakes, streams, wetlands, and in the Minnesota River by mitigating both point and non-point sources of water pollution." Wetland Protection Goal "To protect and rehabilitate wetlands to maintain or improve their function and value." CREEK AND RIVER CORRIDORS Chanhassen is fortunate to have significant natural amenities in the form of creek and river corridors. The community is bisected by Bluff Creek and Riley Creek. The southern boundary of the community is formed by the Minnesota River. These corridors represent significant visual, environmental and recreational amenities for the community. The creek corridors create ideal locations for City trails. The creeks, which often have adjacent wetlands and steep slopes, also form ideal boundaries between incompatible uses. The Minnesota River and the adjacent bluff line constitute an extraordinarily high quality environmental and visual element within the community. The river bottom is protected as a National Wildlife Refuge. To the extent that it is feasible to do so, the City of Chanhassen should promote efforts to preserve these bluff areas. The bluffs, which are visible from distant locations, overlook the river and contain steep, often unusable slopes and stands of mature vegetation. The City has enacted bluff protection ordinances and comprehensive ordinances regarding mining in this area to preserve the scenic amenity and environment of the river valley. As part of its continued effort to protect natural resources, the City recently completed a management plan for the Bluff Creek Corridor. The Bluff Creek Watershed Natural Resources Management Plan is the City of Chanhassen's response to preservation of its natural resources in the midst of rapid growth and development pressures. The idea behind the plan was to identify the significant natural features found along the Bluff Creek Corridor and establish guidelines and goals on how to preserve and protect the area before development occurs. The management plan identifies and describes the topography, soils, vegetation, wildlife, wetlands, parks and trails, and land use within the Bluff Creek watershed area. Currently the watershed is in a state of land use transition, due to the community's rapid growth and development. Bluff Creek itself will experience increasing volumes of runoff associated with development in the coming years. Approximately 70%of the watershed is undeveloped. Over half of the undeveloped area was unguided for future land uses. The final plan is the result of a collaborative effort between preservationists, land owners, business interests, developers, citizens and government. It also represents the interest and cooperation between federal, state, and local jurisdictional agencies. The Bluff Creek Watershed is named after Bluff Creek which runs approximately 6.6 miles along the central part of the watershed. The creek winds its way through from a large wetland complex southeast of Lake Minnewashta through rolling hills and descends into large bluffs dropping more than 70 feet into the lower valley before discharging into Rice Lake and the Minnesota River. The Bluff Creek Watershed is approximately 9.6 square miles and runs north to south along the western portion of Chanhassen. The watershed also includes Chanhassen's most significant remaining natural resource, the Seminary Fen. In order to preserve this area, it is the City's goal to acquire lands adjacent to the stream as opportunities arise and funding permits. The City has already acquired portions of the corridor through easement and fee title as development has occurred. Currently, the Park and Recreation Department is looking to acquire areas within the lower portion of the stream (Bluff Creek Park, Power Hill Park and Stone Creek Park) in an attempt to protect, preserve, enhance and/or restore its natural features. Serious efforts began in 1993 to produce a watershed plan that would look at the system as a whole, rather than individual parts. In 1994, the City identified the need for a process to prepare and implement this natural resources plan for the Bluff Creek, which would include a partnership among community, state, county and federal agencies; non-profit organizations, and the private sector(business and developers). The Bluff Creek Watershed received funding from the City of Chanhassen, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District. In addition, the Metropolitan Council Water Quality Initiative has granted the City seed funds to begin project implementation as designed by this plan. The City has also petitioned the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District for a basic water management plan to help the City complete its goals using funding from a broader tax base. The City continues to pursue other potential funding sources and anticipates using the plan as a tool for seeking further funding. On December 16, 1996,the Chanhassen City Council adopted the Management Plan as an element of its comprehensive plan. The plan has already been used in development proposals, obtaining increased building setbacks than that which are normally required. GROUNDWATER PROTECTION 6 Chanhassen's entire water supply is generated from deep wells and it is imperative that our community seek to protect and preserve this resource. Groundwater protection requires a two track approach. The first is the protection of recharge areas that serve to allow the resource to be naturally replenished. To this end,the City is fortunate to have extensive lake areas, large areas of permanently dedicated public open space, and an active wetland protection program that will preserve the most sensitive of these areas. The second part of the approach requires the protection of the resource from impact by sources of pollution. To this end, the City has undertaken the following: 1. To ensure that all abandoned wells are permanently and securely capped to avoid direct introduction of pollution into the aquifer. 2. Undertake and improve inspections and approval programs for on-site sewage systems and when necessary replacing these systems with public sanitary sewer. 3. The City has been actively involved in the removal of leaking underground storage tanks and the treatment of contaminated soils that result. The City has undertaken this on several properties that were subject to redevelopment activities has cooperatively worked with private individuals who have encountered such problems. It is anticipated that these efforts will continue. The State of Minnesota is requiring all cities, including the City of Chanhassen, to develop a ground water protection plan. The City has been active in participating in Carver County's plan and is projected to have a plan in place by 1999. TREE COVER Through a stewardship plan and community tree cover inventory conducted by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, it was found that"historically, the City of Chanhassen was covered by the "Big Woods," so called by the surveyors of the Federal government during the laying out of the township and range lines in the 1830s. This forest stretched from southeastern to northwestern Minnesota. The large, deciduous forest consisted of fifteen tree species and several species of shrubs, forbs, herbs, wildflowers and grasses. Some of the most common tree species included sugar maple, American linden,northern red oak, bur oak, ash, and elm. Close to seventy percent of the city was forested by these woods while the other thirty percent comprised of wetlands, open water, and oak savanna openings." Some of Chanhassen's most prominent natural features to this day are the forested areas that exist within the community. These areas contribute to the open spaces and rural flavor of the community. They are important determinants of the City's image, health and livability and as such, should be preserved. In addition, to the aesthetic and social contributions, tree cover has economic benefits for the city as well. It is well documented that trees reduce air and noise pollution, storm water run-off, and the heat island effect all of which effects a city's expenditures on energy and storm water retention. Chanhassen has taken a number of steps towards preservation and reforestation of its woodlands. The City succeeded in passing a tree preservation ordinance and completed a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources(MnDNR) inventory. The MnDNR inventory identified a number of wooded areas throughout the city,the majority of which are on private land. Since these areas are important to the city as a whole,but are held in private hands, a variety of planning options will be needed to ensure these forests remain in the future. Density transfers, conservation easements,cluster development, and land acquisitions will be used as means to secure forests,greenbelts,and corridors. Another successful means of gaining tree cover in the city is the practice of including significant boulevard plantings with all developments and collector road improvements. In most cases,a project will include hundreds of overstory trees and other landscape plantings. This not only provides the cooling,purifying, and energy-saving benefits of trees, but also increases the aesthetic value and community pride in city streets. Economic benefits from trees are best realized when total canopy coverage for the community is between 40- 50%, about 20 large trees per acre. Guidelines are needed for achieving and maintaining an urban forest in order to optimize the canopy cover and the resulting benefits - stormwater management, increased energy efficiency,wildlife habitat, and improved air and water quality. Research has indicated that downtown should strive for a 15 percent canopy coverage, fringe business districts for 25 percent and residential areas for 50 percent. Analysis of the current state of Chanhassen's urban forest should be a priority which would then set the precedent for future standards. Not only important is the quantity and health of the trees in a community,but after past experience with invasive, exotic plants, the type of trees plants merits attention as well. Native species reinforce the unique character of Chanhassen's 'Big Woods' landscape, they are well- adapted to our climate and soils, and help to preserve and restore native habitats that are critical to the survival of native animals. Native plantings should be promoted everywhere in the community. "Big Woods"Trees Native to Chanhassen I American Linden or Basswood Bur Oak Red Oak White Oak Northern Pin Oak Sugar Maple Black Cherry Ironwood Green Ash Paper Birch Bitternut Hickory Quaking Aspen Slippery Elm Green Ash Black Ash In light of all measures employed, the city is still losing tree cover to residential, industrial and infrastructure development. Since trees do serve as an indicator of community health and image and have significant economic impacts, more commitment to their preservation is needed. In addition, Chanhassen should strive to create and maintain a sustainable forest, one that is ecologically sound, socially acceptable and economically efficient. The fact that Chanhassen is evolving from an agricultural to urban community intrinsically means there will be more trees in the future. To ensure a safe, health, and diverse urban forest, the City should develop a forestry management plan that incorporates long term goals and objectives as well as management practices and procedures. Identifying now what needs to be done in the future will assist in streamlining forestry efforts in order to capitalize the time,money and effort spent on forestry responsibilities. WILDLIFE Chanhassen contains diverse habitats, from river bottom lowlands and bluffs to mature maple- basswood forests and pristine wetlands, and within each habitat lives a community of plants and animals particular to the site. There has been no inventory of specific plants and animals within the City,but unique natural communities have been identified as a part of the wetland inventory project and the Bluff Creek Management Plan. In the one known plant inventory done by the Minnesota Biological County Survey, eight rare native plants were documented as present in the Seminary Fen. It is reasonable to consider that other rare or endangered species do exist within Chanhassen in the rare natural communities that includes Silver Lake, the bluffs of Bluff Creek and the Minnesota River, and remnants of the big woods. Since plants and animals play an integral role in the balance and quality of our community, their preservation and protection deserve the City's consideration. Chanhassen and most other developing communities have not had an active wildlife preservation effort embodied in the Comprehensive Plan. There is ample evidence to indicate that 5 urbanization results in significant changes in species and range of wildlife that will be encountered in the community. Chanhassen is fortunate to have a large number of lakes, significant acreage permanently set aside as protected public open space,the Minnesota River bluff line, and the Minnesota River Valley, all of which contain and protect wildlife habitat. The City's wetland protection efforts in the future will be focused in large part on which wetlands constitute significant wildlife habitat and are thus worthy of special protective measures, or where these habitats do not exist requiring that lower quality wetlands be re-worked to create it. The City of Chanhassen believes that it is a reasonable goal to attempt to maximize the preservation of wildlife even as urbanization continues to occur. Priority should be given to significant habitats that are unprotected using conservation easements or by outright fee title acquisition where appropriate. AGRICULTURAL CHARACTER PRESERVATION Historically, the City of Chanhassen has been an agriculturally-based community. Family farms existed on land that is now subdivided for urban development. With this inevitable development, much of the character of the land has been lost. Similar to a historically significant structure that has been demolished,a landscape that has been destroyed cannot be reproduced. For this reason, the preservation of the rural character is so important. This preservation involves protecting wooded areas and natural features as well as the agricultural character. Agricultural or rural character can refer to distant views,open space,tree lines(wind rows)and agricultural-related buildings (barns, silos,houses, etc.). Although an agricultural preservation plan has not been adopted,the City attempts to protect and maintain the character of the land through conservation easements, ordinances(Highway 5 Corridor Overlay District,Bluff Creek Overlay District) and planned unit developments. The City intends to continue preserving the natural character of the landscape in developments as feasible. GOAL S This element of the City's comprehensive plan is intended to serve as a blue print towards establishing goals and policies and directing future work efforts on behalf of the City. A summary of the implementation programs outlined herein follows: 1. Preserve natural slopes wherever possible. 2. Develop plans and ordinances designed to protect the Minnesota River corridor taking the old Hwy. 212/169 route into consideration. Work with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to expand,protect and promote utilization of the resource by Chanhassen residents. 10 3. Incorporate existing tree canopy cover data in city's GIS database. Update biennially or as available. 4. Develop Forestry Management Plan by identifying strategies or means to achieve the objectives of a safe, healthy, diverse and functional urban forest. The plan will be written to serve the City as a tool to protect,preserve and enhance its forest resources. 5. Identify and document significant wildlife habitats, such as woodlands, fens,prairies, and bluffs in a city-wide inventory. The result of the inventory should be a Natural Resources Master Plan. Consider the adoption of policies and programs that would seek to acquire or protect significant wildlife habitats for preservation. Coordinate preservation efforts with other government and private programs. 6. Promote tree planting throughout the community through education, boulevard plantings, and subsidized purchases for residents. Increase canopy cover on private and public lands to meet minimum standard of 50 percent overall canopy coverage. Encourage plantings of native trees. 7. Identify significant wooded areas to protect. Preserve areas by means of development restrictions, density transfers, preservation easements,purchase, or other methods. 8. Encourage and assist businesses, organizations, and private citizens in their efforts to beautify and otherwise enhance the environment. 9. Consider the adoption of policies or programs that would seek to preserve agricultural land by means of easements, density transfers, purchase or other methods. 10. Establish Farmer's Market in order to promote and support local agriculture. 11. Continue to work with the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District in implementing the Bluff Creek Natural Resource Plan. Use the plan to guide future development in protecting natural resources in the Creek corridor. 12. Continue to follow the recommendations outlined in the Surface Water Management Plan; providing 100-year flood protection for all persons and property, protect and improve water quality within Chanhassen lakes, streams,wetlands, and in the Minnesota River by mitigating both point and non-point sources of water pollution and to protect and rehabilitate wetlands to maintain or improve their function and value. Work for approval of a Comprehensive Wetland Management plan for state approval. Once the plan is in place, follow recommendations for the reclassification and improvement of Ag/urban wetlands. 13. Priority should be given first to preventing impacts to Pristine and Natural wetlands, then to protecting Ag/Urban wetlands from further degradation. 11 14. Develop public education programs emphasizing the importance of wetland buffers. Requiring setbacks from wetlands provides protection during development and provides a buffer from human disturbance of the ecological functioning of the wetland. Such buffers also filter out harmful materials often present in surface runoff. 15. Areas of significant wildlife habitat should be protected from disruptions by free-roaming pets and human recreational activities-especially during spring and summer nesting seasons. Wetlands and adjacent herbaceous uplands are critical habitats for waterfowl and other ground nesting species; disturbance during nesting can significantly reduce reproductive success. 16. Restore wetlands which are hydrologically disturbed. A high percentage of wetlands in the City have been ditched or drained to some degree. Breaking existing tile lines or plugging ditches are a relatively simple procedure that is often effective at restoring original hydrological conditions. 17. Continue efforts to work with landowners to eliminate or reduce the introduction and spread of exotic species such as Eurasian water milfoil or purple loosestrife. Many wetlands in the City have been invaded by purple loosestrife; restoration projects in those areas must emphasize eradication of the species. The State has established guidelines for the control and management of noxious weeds; those should be implemented for effective control of purple loosestrife. 18. Continue to implement wetland restoration projects prioritized in the SWMP. Most of the recommendations and wetland restoration projects proposed in this section and in the wetland section of Part II, should be part of the development review program. 19. The proposed prioritization list for water quality improvements as identified in the Surface Water Management Plan be maintained whenever possible. 20. A monitoring and sampling program for selected waterbodies be developed, under the general guidelines proposed in this plan. This program could be developed by the City or an agency in cooperation with the City. 21. A maintenance program for sediment and nutrient removal ponds be established,under the guidelines proposed in this report, to ensure that desirable phosphorus removal efficiencies are maintained and the successful operation of the storm drainage system. 22. The erosion and sediment control requirements as developed in the Chanhassen's Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook be enforced. 23. A comprehensive public education program for City residents, staff and the development community be implemented based on the guidelines presented in this report. 12 g:\plan\comp plan\natural resources.doc 1:) SEWER POLICY PLAN Under the 1976 Metropolitan Land Planning Act and the 1969 Metropolitan Sewer Act, Chanhassen was required to prepare and submit a local Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan to the Metropolitan Council. This plan included a description, designation and scheduling of the areas to be sewered by the public system, the existing and planned capacities of the public system, the standards and conditions under which the installation of private sewer systems will be permitted, and to the extent practicable, the areas not suitable for public or private systems because of health, safety and welfare considerations. On April 19, 1982, the City, in accordance with the Metropolitan Land Planning Act, adopted the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan was amended on March 3, 1986 to redesignate the 1990 MUSA line as the year 2000 MUSA line and again on November 16, 1987 the Plan was amended to provide a policy on on-site sewage treatment and program descriptions for infiltration and inflow reduction. In 1991, the Plan was amended to expand the 2000 MUSA line. In 1993, the city adopted a Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan And Water Supply And Distribution Plan. Both of the documents are being updated as a part of this comprehensive plan. In order to be effective, the comprehensive sewer plan must be closely coordinated with the comprehensive plan of a community. The land use elements establishes the anticipated development pattern at specified densities. Combining this information with an analysis of the existing system, it is possible to project future sewage flows, required system capacities, and the means by which effluent will be transported and treated. EXISTING SYSTEM The existing system narrative examines both the regional and local sanitary sewer systems and specifically notes the characteristics of each. The regional data was provided primarily by the Metropolitan Council as part of Chanhassen's System Statement. Local data was compiled by the City's consulting engineers. METROPOLITAN INTERCEPTORS AND TREATMENT PLANTS- Shorewood II Interceptor MSB-7017 (Existing) Character and Location: The Shorewood II Interceptor is a forcemain and gravity flow interceptor sewer which flows eastward through parts of Shorewood, Excelsior, Greenwood and Minnetonka and connects to the Shorewood Interceptor MSB-7016 at Town Line Road. As shown on the Metropolitan Facilities Map there are four extensions of the interceptor which project southward to the north boundary of Chanhassen. a) A 12-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe gravity facility flows between Christmas Lake and Silver Lake from the Chanhassen boundary to the Shorewood Interceptor. b) A combined gravity and forcemain facility flows north from the Chanhassen boundary along Christmas Lake Road through a 15-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe to a lift station, then through a 9-inch polyvinyl chloride pipe and an 8-inch ductile iron pipe to the major interceptor. c) A 9-inch diameter PVC forcemain runs from the Chanhassen boundary at Chaska Road to the west shore of Galpin Lake in Shorewood to the major interceptor. d) A 15-inch diameter RCP gravity facility flows northeasterly from the Chanhassen boundary at Washta Bay Road along Pleasant Avenue to the northwest side of Mary Lake in Shorewood to the major interceptor. Function: The Shorewood II Interceptor provides metropolitan interceptor sewer service for 898 acres in northern Chanhassen as well as the communities along the southern shores of Lake Minnetonka. Timing: The facility is in place and is currently in use. Capacity: The Southwest Facility Planning Study completed by the MCES in 1980 states the capacity of the interceptor varies from 7.3 MGD to 15.5 MGD. Lake Ann Interceptor MSB-7138 (Existing) Character and Location: The Lake Ann Phase I Interceptor sewer serves Chanhassen in the Rice-Marsh Lake, Lake Susan, Lake Ann, Lake Lucy, the Riley Creek Watershed area, and the Bluff Creek Watershed area. The interceptor is a gravity sewer system. It was constructed in three phases and was completed in 1988. The interceptor flows southeast, beginning at Trunk Highway 41 near the north city limits and extends approximately 4.5 miles to the Red Rock Interceptor in Eden Prairie. The city's Lake Ann trunk sewer runs parallel to the MCES trunk sewer between the Red Rock Interceptor and Highway 5. The Red Rock Interceptor starts at the terminus of the Lake Ann Interceptor and continues southeasterly through Eden Prairie where it discharges into the Purgatory Creek Interceptor and eventually to the Blue Lake Sewage Treatment Plant in Savage. The Southwest Facility Planning Study completed by the MCES in 1980 states the capacity of the interceptor at 43.4 MGD. Timing: The interceptor is in place and now in use. Lake Virginia Lift Station, Lake Virginia Forcemain, Lake Ann Interceptor, Red Rock Interceptor MSB - (Existing) Character and Location: This combination gravity flow and forcemain system begins at the Lake Virginia lift station. The Lake Virginia forcemain runs along 62nd Road, Church Street, State Highway 7 and State Highway 41. The Lake Ann interceptor runs from State Highway 41, 2 southeasterly across open land to State Highway No. 5, south of Lake Ann. South of State Highway No. 5 the interceptor parallels Chanhassen's existing Lake Ann trunk to where it connects to the existing Lake Ann Phase I interceptor. The Red Rock interceptor starts at the termination of the Lake Ann Phase I interceptor and continues southeasterly through Eden Prairie to the Purgatory Creek interceptor at Research Road. Function: The Lake Virginia lift station and forcemain will carry wastewater flows from western Lake Minnetonka communities. The Lake Ann interceptor and the Red Rock interceptor will carry the wastewater flow generated from complete development in the local service areas of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie along with the Lake Virginia lift station flows. Timing: The facilities are in place and now in use. Capacity: The Lake Virginia lift station and forcemain design flow is 17.3 MGD. The total wastewater design flow entering the Red Rock interceptor, including the Lake Virginia lift station flow is 30.4 MGD. The total design flow of the Red Rock interceptor at its intersection with the Purgatory Creek interceptor is 39.1 MGD, includes the 30.4 MGD from Chanhassen. Blue Lake Treatment Plant (Existing) Character and Location: The Blue Lake Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant is an activated sludge plant. The upgraded and expanded facilities of the Blue Lake plant provide advanced wastewater treatment including nitrification. It is located in the City of Shakopee just north of Highway 101. It discharges into the Minnesota River. Function: The Blue Lake Plant provides primary and secondary treatment for sewage flows for communities in a 325 square mile area on the west side of the Metropolitan Area. Capacity: The current design capacity of this facility was expanded from an average annual wastewater flow capacity of 20 mgd to 32 mgd. Limitations on communities flow to the Blue Lake Treatment Plant have been set by the MCES. The flow allowance for Chanhassen for the years 2000 and 2010 are based on population projections by the MCES LOCAL SYSTEM Sewer Map As of 1998, the existing Chanhassen sanitary sewer system includes approximately 96 miles of piping and 29 lift stations. The sewer in the downtown portion of the community was constructed in 1957 with service being provided to the outlying areas between 1972 and 1976. Much of the downtown sewer system was replaced during the Downtown Redevelopment Project in 1987 as part of the Community's Central Business District Redevelopment Program. Since 1991, trunk sanitary sewer systems have been constructed for the Lake Riley and Bluff Creek local sewer districts. Flow from the local system is directed to MCES interceptors.

City of Chaska in the southwestern portion of the community, does not feed into the Chanhassen system. The Gedney Company has an on-site treatment facility which, during overload times, discharges into the Minnesota River. M.A. Gedney Company reports its discharge activities to the MCES every six months. The existing Chanhassen sanitary sewer system is in generally good condition. INFILTRATION AND INFLOW In previous years, one problem affecting the Chanhassen sewer system was infiltration and inflow(I&I). I&I is the combined total of all clear water entering the sewer system through cracks in piping, faulty manholes, yard drains, foundation drains, manhole covers and other means. The Lake Ann Sewer Facility Agreement entered into between the City of Chanhassen, Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission requires that the City amend its sewer plan to include a policy, ordinance, and administrative program to reduce stormwater inflow in the sewer system consistent with the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission's policies. Copies of the Agreement, Codes, Ordinances and Standard Specifications are included in the Appendix. In 1982, the City conducted a study on the extent of the infiltration/inflow problem in Chanhassen ("Report on Infiltration/Inflow Analysis",prepared for Schoell & Madson by Planning, Design and Research, 1982). The 1982 report stated that Chanhassen's sanitary sewer collection system is in "generally good structural condition"; however,there were several sections in the downtown area that contain disintegrated pipes and manholes. These were replaced during the Downtown Redevelopment Project. Foundation draintile and sump connections were thought to exist in the older neighborhoods north of the downtown area, these were also cited as a contributor to the I/I problem. Lift stations 1 and 2 were also identified as experiencing flows in excess of their design capacity. To address these problems, Chanhassen is using a variety of methods. In 1987,the City Council approved the Downtown Redevelopment Project which included replacement of sanitary sewer lines in the downtown area as well as the establishment of a new storm sewer system. These improvements have eliminated a portion of the I/I identified in the 1982 report. Secondly, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 5 which prohibits discharging into the sanitary sewer system of any "surface or sub-surface waters." Sump pumps are also required to have an outside discharge. Further, the City has televised over 40,000 lineal feet in the residential areas north of the downtown area to locate defects in the system. The City has followed with annual rehabilitation programs, and budgets for system rehabilitation and televising on a ten year frequency. The City Council has a policy of requiring new sewer construction to be televised prior to its acceptance by the City for maintenance. The maintenance department has been increased to seven full-time people from five. This allows more frequent and effective maintenance of the city's utility infrastructure. 4 In 1990 the City installed a radio telemetry system(such as the ones identified in the 1982 report) to reduce response time by City personnel to attend to system failures such as lift stations to prevent environmental harm and/or basement backups and to aid in isolating I/I . The most difficult aspect of the I/I problem is to correct inflow from individual households. In 1998,the City of Chanhassen will complete a private property sump pump inspection program. City funding of the sump pump inspection program in the amount of$110,000.00 is demonstrative of the commitment to eliminating I/I within the city. In conjunction with the inspection program, a maintenance program to insure continued compliance with city code is being established. The city believes that the next step in the overall comprehensive program to reduce I/I from the sanitary sewer system is to construct drainage improvements necessitated by the recent sump pump inspection program. Through the sump pump inspection program, several neighborhoods in Chanhassen have been identified which need storm drainage improvements in order to ensure that sump pump discharges do not return to the sanitary sewer system. In these neighborhoods, public safety and health may be compromised by discharging sump pump drainage to the exterior of the homes. LIFT STATIONS Because of Chanhassen's rolling topography,the existing sanitary sewer system contains 29 lift stations and in all probability, future development will require added installations. Lift stations being mechanical devices are subject to occasional malfunction. When a failure occurs,the problem is usually corrected without affecting adjacent residential properties or adverse environmental impacts. The proper functioning of lift stations depends upon two factors: the installation of quality equipment and proper maintenance of mechanical components. The addition of more maintenance people has given the City a better response time to equipment failure. A system of preventive maintenance has also been undertaken by the City to help prevent equipment failures. Additional development will require the installation of additional lift stations. The City carefully selects the mechanical components for each new station based upon the performance records of the existing components. All new stations will be connected to the telemetry system. PIPE DEFICIENCIES In 1987,the City Council approved the downtown redevelopment project which included replacement of sanitary sewer lines in the downtown area. These improvements have been completed. By this action the majority of pipe deficiencies in this area have been corrected. The balance of the lines in the downtown area are new and built to current standards. No additional problems are anticipated. 5 LAND USE The availability of an adequate sanitary sewer system is a primary consideration in the utilization of land for urban purposes. The adequacy of sanitary sewer in a given area is, for example, directly related to the intensity of land development possible for the area. Future locations of industries, businesses, apartments and homes are limited and defined by the availability, quality and expense of public utility installation and the degree of long-range utility planning which has been accomplished by the City in anticipation of new development. It is particularly important to coordinate long-range utility planning with land use, transportation and community facility plans because all are interrelated and interdependent. Utilizing the concept of comprehensive utility planning and encouraging development to locate in areas with available infrastructure will insure that private development will follow public investment rather than the reverse which has been the traditional pattern. The intention of this philosophy is that such practices will not only promote the use of existing public facilities to their maximum capacity but will also minimize additional public investments, particularly those of an unplanned and unexpected nature. Chanhassen is fortunate in having sanitary sewer facilities available to about 40 percent of the land area of the community. New sewer installations in developing areas present no insurmountable problems to the City or developers. Only in certain areas would the installation of sanitary sewer service be difficult because of the expense involved due to existing soil and topographic conditions, land ownership patterns, distance from existing sewer lines and other factors. Within the Urban Service Area, certain zones should be classified as "restricted" because of development prohibitions. Floodplains, major wetlands, bluffs and park areas fall under this category since it is unlikely that they will ever contain residential, commercial, or industrial structures and hence, do not have major sewer service needs. The 2020 land use plan identifies several areas as restricted. These areas are depicted on the City of Chanhassen 2020 Land Use Plan Map as public/semi-public and parks/open space. POPULATION AND CONNECTION PROJECTIONS Future sewage flows are a direct result of the population of a community as well as the numbers and types of commercial and industrial land uses. Because of this, the most accurate way to project future sewage system needs is through an analysis of growth trends and land use projections. ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL SANITARY SEWER CONNECTIONS Utilizing the above population projections, it is possible to estimate the number of annual sanitary sewer connections. These estimates were developed by applying the community-wide household occupancy figures of 2.8 in 2000, 2.7 in 2010 and 2.65 in 2020 persons per unit to 6 the projected additional annual population. This process results in the following estimated residential sanitary sewer connections. 2000 2010 2020 6,945 10,913 13,667 It is possible to project the breakdown of sewered versus unsewered population providing that the following assumptions are made: 1. That the vast majority of new residential growth will be connected to sanitary sewer. 2. That no sewer service will be available to drainage areas outside of the expanded MUSA line. 3. That within the zones where sewer service is or will be available, the existing units presently served by on-site systems will be connected to the municipal system. Exceptions to this are likely to be large lot subdivisions most of which were platted since 1985 with new on-site sanitary systems built to current standards. Homes in these subdivisions are provided with alternate drainfield sites and there is an expectation that no municipal services will be required until environmental issues surface. These subdivisions include Lake Lucy Highlands, Sun Ridge Addition, Timberwood Estates, Hillside Oaks, Lake Riley Woods, Lake Riley Meadows, Deerbrook, Halla Great Plains Addition, Pioneer Hills, Hesse Farm Addition, and Bluff Creek Highlands. SEWERED POPULATION Sewered population projections are based on future population projection less those residential units with existing on-site systems that will not be connected to the sanitary sewer system. As of April 1, 1998, Chanhassen had an estimated 6,608 housing units with 6,278 occupied., using an occupancy rate of 95%. The City of Chanhassen estimates that in 1998 approximately 500 units have their own sewage treatment systems. These units fall outside the MUSA line or are large lot subdivisions and are not projected to connect to the Chanhassen sewage collection system in the near future. 7 Sewered Population Projections Total On-Site Occupied Persons Total Occupied Treatment Sewered Per Sewered Year Hshlds.

In 1988, the estimated flow was 104 g/c/d. A concerted effort by the City to reduce private property I/I will be needed to reduce the flow below 100 g/c/d. In 1989, Chanhassen had a total of 323 acres of industrial, commercial property within the existing MUSA line served by municipal water. The estimated water usage was 790 gal/acre/day, an increase of approximately 200 gal/acre/day over the 1980 estimate of 594 gal/acre/day. It is anticipated that the increase in sewage flows will continue at the same rate to the year 2000 giving an estimated flow of 1,000 gal/acre/day. For 2010 and 2020 development, the city is estimating sewage generation rates of 1,500 gal/acre/day for commercial and industrial lands. 8 Estimated Residential Average Flow Total Total Sewered Total Year Sewered Units Population g/c/d Flow(g/d/) 2000 6,945 18,404 100 1,840,000 2010 10,613 27,154 100 2,207,400 2020 13,567 34,087 100 3,408,700 Estimated Commercial Industrial Flow Total Total Year Sewered Acreage g/a/d Flow (g/d) 2000 1,209 1,000 1,209,000 2010 1,500 1,500 2,250,000 2020 1,700 1,500 2,550,000 Chanhassen anticipates a year 2000 total domestic sewage flow of 1,840,400 gallons per day (1.840 MGD). Of the total sewage flow, 330,000 gallons per day represents the effluent that will be conveyed northward into the Shorewood Interceptor. 100,000 gallons per day flows into Eden Prairie at Highway 101 and Duck Lake Road and the remainder will be handled by the Lake Ann/Red Rock Interceptors. All of the commercial and industrial flow will be routed to the Lake Ann/Red Rock Interceptors. The total non-domestic flow combined with the residential flow yield an anticipated year 2000 total average flow of 3,049,400 gallons per day(3.049MGD). Lake Ann/Red Rock Interceptor The Red Rock interceptor is designed to carry 43.4 mgd from Chanhassen. The 43.4 mgd includes 17.3 mgd from the Lake Virginia lift station and forcemain. In January, 1992, the MCES granted the city additional capacity in the MCES interceptor facilities from 13.1 to 16.1 mgd. Chanhassen's current allocated capacity is 16.1 MGD. 9 Estimated Sewage Flows Lake Ann/Red Rock Interceptor Total Average Daily Peak Peak Year Sewage Flow Factor Flow (g/d) 2000 2,619,400 2.7 7,072,380 2010 4,457,400 2.5 11,143,500 2020 5,447,700 2.4 13,074,480 Chanhassen has embarked on a rigorous program to eliminate as much as possible of the private I/I. With the reduction of the I/I, additional expansion beyond the year 2000 is possible. TRUNK SEWER EXPANSION The year 2020 MUSA Line encompasses all of Chanhassen. The city has established a phasing plan to provide urban services to the entire community. This phasing map is incorporated as part of the land use element of the comprehensive plan. The City proposes to constructed the Bluff Creek trunk sewer necessary to service the area within the MUSA boundary and with the use of a lift station or stations pump into existing laterals within the Lake Ann Service Area. The trunk sewers will be sized to service the total area within the drainage district. Flow from the proposed lift station will be directed to existing or proposed lateral lines and then to the Lake Ann trunk and the Lake Ann interceptor. Expansion within this area will be monitored closely to ensure that projected flows to the Lake Ann interceptor will not cause Chanhassen to exceed its allocated flows to the Red Rock interceptor. FLOW MONITORING The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission records all sanitary sewer flows originating in the City of Chanhassen. They also review all proposed additions to the flow to determine the impact on Chanhassen's flow allocation. ON-SITE TREATMENT SYSTEMS The proper functioning of on-site treatment systems is a concern of both the Metropolitan Council and the City of Chanhassen. The Lake Ann Sewer Facility Agreement entered into between the City of Chanhassen, the Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission required that the City include in its sewer plan a description of adopted on-site sewage disposal ordinance provisions consistent with application requirements set forth in the Metropolitan Council's Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan, including Policies 42-47 and 10 Procedure 10. The following describes existing regulations and reviews policies relating to existing systems and future subdivisions containing on-site systems. Current Ordinance Provisions The current individual sewage treatment system (ISTS) ordinance was adopted in 1987. It adopts Minnesota Rules Chapter 7080, " Individual Sewage Treatment Systems Standards,"by reference and also includes additional standards. The additional standards provide for the construction of alternative ISTS, provide for reduced system setback when necessary, require system upgrades to accommodate additional needs, require a water monitoring device, require two ISTS sites, and require ISTS site protection. The ordinance also contained provisions requiring licensing for ISTS professionals, pumping reports, and detailed designs. The current ordinance contains requirements for the repair and/or replacement of failing systems as well a requirement for connection to municipal sewer service within one year of its availability. Proposed Ordinance Revisions Staff is in the process of revising the current ordinance and will recommend modifications primarily to three areas. First, many of the additional standards in the current ordinance will be deleted. Most of these standards are incorporated into the current Chapter 7080 which was adopted by the state in January, 1996. Second, changes will be made to the section regulating failing systems. A failing system is defined in Chapter 7080 as any system discharging sewage to a seepage pit, cesspool, drywell, or leaching pit; any system with less than three feet of separation to saturated soil; or any system posing an eminent threat to public health or safety. The current ordinance generally requires a failing system to be repaired or replaced within 60 days. This time limit is appropriate when a system is discharging sewage to a seepage pit, cesspool, drywell, or leaching pit or when a system poses an eminent threat to public health or safety. The third determinant of a failing system - less than three feet of separation to saturated soil - is new to the definition and will effect the majority of pre-1987 ISTS. The legislature modified the Chapter 7080 requirements to permit only two feet of separation on existing systems, but it is estimated that Chanhassen has about 100 systems that are defined as failing. Staff will recommend that existing failing systems with less than two feet of separation be repaired or replaced within four years. The third area of significant change to the current ordinance will address ISTS maintenance. The current ordinance contains requirements for inspection and/or pumping of septic tanks every two years. A system to track and enforce these requirements will be implemented. Additionally, staff will recommend ISTS compliance reports be required when a structure is sold, before a permit is issued for an addition or alteration, and at six year intervals for all ISTS. Staff will recommend non-complying systems be repaired within one year. Revisions to the current ordinance will insure that all ISTS within the city are maintained in good working order and that all failing and non-complying systems are replaced or repaired within a 11 reasonable time. Review and adoption of a revised ordinance is scheduled to occur in March and April, 1998. Future Subdivisions The City amended its Subdivision Ordinance (Ordinance No. 33-E) in 1986 to require the submission of soil boring data and identification of two septic system sites for each proposed lot. This data is reviewed by City staff and its consultant to determine that each lot contains two drainfield sites and contains adequate buildable area for the two septic system sites, house pad, appropriate location of the well, and appropriate setbacks as required by City ordinance from wetlands and lakes. The ordinance also specifically prohibits location of septic systems on slopes in excess of twenty-five percent. The City's ordinance and administrative procedures are consistent with and enforce Policies 42-47 and Procedure 10 of the Metropolitan Council Waste Quality Plan. With the exception of existing large lot subdivisions, parcels of land currently in existence, or development outside the MUSA district that maintain a one unit per ten acre density, the city will no longer permit residential developments that are not serviced by urban infrastructure services. WATER SYSTEM Existing System Water Distribution Map A water system is composed of two elements: 1)production; and 2) distribution. Relative to production, the city produces most of its water from deep wells. Five of the City's seven production wells produce water from the Prairie Du Chien-Jordan aquifer and range in depth from 471 feet to 520 feet deep. Two of the wells produces water from the glacial draft formation approximately 215 feet deep. The drift well provides the city with a diverse and economical source of water. Well number 8 is scheduled for installation in 1998. The city wells are described as follows: City Well 1 - Abandoned Corner of Great Plains Boulevard and Santa Fe Trail Unique Number: 220995 Well Field: Lotus Aquifer: Prairie Du Chien-Jordan Well Depth: 518 feet Casings: 10-inch to 109 feet 6-inch to 335 feet Static Water Level: 1962 - 133 feet 12 gla .46-....n-, QD.t:�' - .1 - - -.7.'r- f ----t..77.4:7 r - t'r' [- 3'¢ ice; ® . .

The productive section of this aquifer suggests the possibility that additional wells could be installed in the vicinity of these existing wells. At this time, groundwater withdrawals within the city appear relatively light and from a yield standpoint should not restrict the placement of additional wells within these aquifers. The results from Draft Well No. 5 have been very encouraging and holds potential for construction of additional drift wells in this area with production rates possibly over 1000 gpm. With the exception of the required application of chlorine and fluoride at each well house, the city does not treat or soften the water supply prior to distribution. Well No. 4 has a high iron content although the remaining wells are within acceptable levels. The water from all wells is hard ranging from 260 - 340 mg/1 of total hardness. The city has no plans for softening in the future, although it may be appropriate to consider iron removal at Well No. 4. The water distribution system presently consists of over 104 miles of watermain ranging from 6 inches to 18 inches in diameter. The majority of the system is constructed of ductile iron pipe, although there are several older areas of the city having cast iron pipe. Municipal water service is provided to the urban service area of the city as shown on the enclosed map. 13 The distribution system also includes three water storage tanks (two elevated storage and one ground storage) and one booster pump station (1000 gpm) located at Lake Lucy Road and Galpin Boulevard. The storage tanks are described as follows: West 76th Street at Kiowa Capacity: 100,000 gallons Type: Single Pedestal Spheroid Year Constructed: 1965 Height: 145 feet Ground Elevation: 990 feet High Water Elevation: 1120 feet Service Area: Low Murray Hill Road Capacity: 200,000 gallons Type: Single Pedestal Spheroid Year Constructed: 1972 Height: 132 feet Ground Elevation: 1068 feet High Water Elevation: 1200 feet Service Area: High Powers Boulevard(CR 17) at Lake Lucy Road Capacity: 3.5 million gallons (1.5 usable) Type: Ground Storage Reservoir Year Constructed: 1988 Height: 75 feet Ground Elevation: 1050 feet High Water Elevation: 1120 feet Service Area: Low There are three service areas operating at different pressures (elevations) in Chanhassen. The low service area is served by well pumps 2, 3, 4 and 5 and by a 100,000 gallon water tower and a 3,500,000 gallon ground storage reservoir. Pumps 2, 3,4, 5, and 6 are controlled to maintain a water elevation in the two storage tanks near 1120. This elevation provides adequate pressure to serve the users in the low pressure service area. The high service area is served by a booster pump station, wells 7 and 8, the school well and a 200,000 gallon water tower. Normal operation has the booster pump pumping from the low service area watermain system to the high service system to maintain a water elevation in the water tower of about 1200. The School Well is used in the summer to supplement the high 14 service area. The School Well does not have automatic controls,but is manually started and stopped during high consumption periods. The third service area, the Lake Minnewashta service area, is served via a pressure reducing valve off of the high service area. The pressure reducing valve reduces the pressure by about 30 PSI to serve the lower elevation homes of the Lake Minnewashta area. A schematic of the water system depicting the three service areas and pumping and storage facilities is attached. Alternative operating schemes are built into the system, including: The high service area can be served by Well Pump No. 3 from the low service area while bypassing the booster pump station and the low service area. The low service area can be supplemented from the high service area through pressure reducing valves in the booster station and near Yosemite Lane and West 63rd Street. Schematic of Municipal Water System The city has completed a number of water system projects between 1985 and 1998 to address system deficiencies. Some of the key elements are listed below. 1. Construction the Lake Lucy Road trunk watermain to connect the low and high service areas and provide backup to the high service area. 2. Constructed a 3.5 million gallon ground storage reservoir providing a net capacity addition of 1.5 million gallons to the system. 3. Completion 12-inch and 18-inch trunk watermain branches on Kerber Boulevard, Powers Boulevard and the Chanhassen Hills trunk watermain. 4. Constructed Drift Well No. 5 near Well No. 2 to increase the City's production capabilities and diversify its aquifers. 5. Installed a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition(SCADA) system to allow for more efficient management of the water system and more efficient handling of emergencies. 6. Constructed the Chanhassen Hills trunk watermain. 7. Constructed Lake Drive East loop to Dell Road. 8. Constructed Market Boulevard/Lake Drive loop. 9. Construction of the Lyman Boulevard Great Plains Boulevard loop watermain. 15 'ATER TOWER = EL. 1200 GATE VALVE NORMALLY CLOSED / PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE "0,000 GALLON STORAGE TANK MG USABLE) I ';-1 WATER LEVEL=EL. 1120 i TING MAIN LOW SERVICE A EA ,LLON- . .,'ER • 1 .

The major system improvements yet to be addressed include a loop of the system to the Lake Minnewashta Parkway service area, construction of the 2.0 MG water storage tank(proposed for construction in 1998), elevation 1120, at Highways 5 and 41, construction of a o.5 MG water tower, elevation 1200, north of Highway 5 along Highway 41, a 1.5 MG water tower, elevation 1120, along Lyman Boulevard, and the extension of additional trunk watermain to serve the rest of the community. The City has adopted a maintenance program for the existing water supply and storage facilities. This program includes: cleaning and painting storage tanks every seven years and well inspection and rehabilitation every five years. The water system is manually flushed in the fall of each year to eliminate its "rust" deposits and red water from the system. PRODUCTION At the present time, the City's water production capabilities are adequate. This situation has been greatly enhanced by the recent construction of Wells No. 7 and 8. Prior to this, during the droughts of 1989 and 1997 for example, all wells operated continuously for extended periods. Rapid industrial and residential growth over the past 10 years has accelerated the demand. The city evaluated its present and future production needs, recognizing the recent well additions, to determine the timing for future well construction as part of a Well Field Study and Water Management Plan,July, 1996. FUNDING Historically, the city has used its trunk water hookup charge to fund the trunk system improvements and major maintenance items. These charges are typically paid by each property at the time of building permit application. It is anticipated that with continued anticipated growth, these charges will provide the necessary funds to construct these improvements although periodic increases may certainly be warranted to keep pace with inflation. Wherever possible, it is prudent to construct the trunk mains where lateral service benefit can be assigned. Depending on future development and available revenue in the trunk fund, it may be necessary to assess trunk benefit to a service area in anticipation of development or to support development as was done to construct the city's Chanhassen Hills trunk watermain (Improvement Project 86-2), Coulter Boulevard Phase II - Trunk Utilities (Improvement Project 93-26B), Lyman Boulevard - Lake Riley Area-Trunk Utilities (Improvement Project 93-32A&B), and Coulter Boulevard Phase III (Improvement Project 97- 1). Projects of this nature are required to follow State Statute 429 and a specific assessment policy is adopted with each project to recognize their individual peculiarities. 16 CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAM The following sheets summarize specific system capital improvements to provide service to the expanding Urban Service Areas with costs assigned and timing estimated. The capital investment program attempts to provide an implementation plan for the Parks& Open Space Element,the Surface Water Management Plan,the Water Supply and Distribution Plan,the Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan,the Transportation Element, and the Land Use Plan for the City of Chanhassen. The capital investment plan provides a guide for capital improvements in the city. However, due to its scope, it can only be accurate for the current budget year(1998). Extraneous forces including demographics,the economy, state and federal legislation, funding availability,development patterns,jurisdictional policies and programs, and local politics will all impact the plan. The city will monitor annually the actual capital projects undertaken in the community and compare them against the capital investment plan. Periodically, the capital investment plan will be updated. At a minimum,the updates will occur every five years 17 Infrastructure GOALS AND POLICIES GOAL Provide public sanitary sewer, water, storm water, electrical, natural gas and communication service to all urban density residential developments and all non-residential, commercial and industrial uses in a efficient and effective manner which is responsive to natural resource protection concerns within the City. POLICIES It shall be the responsibility of the City Engineer and Planner to give technical advice and aid to the Planning Commission and City Council in preparation of necessary utility plans. Formulation of utility plans shall be coordinated with city plans for land use, transportation, open space and community facilities as described in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan. Wherever practical, utility plans should be coordinated with the Park and Recreation Commission's plans for linear open space and passive play areas. Eventually, it is envisioned that the entire city will be serviced by public facilities. Formulation of local plans for utilities shall be consistent with the plans and procedures of the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) which accommodate the future growth and continued vitality of the City of Chanhassen. In response to the Metropolitan Council Growth Strategy, the City will develop and adopt a MUSA expansion schedule. A plan should be developed to plan and provide an efficient local sewage collection system to transport sewage to appropriate metropolitan facilities. Ensure that local sewer investments are coordinated with metropolitan sewer system plans. Utility systems within the City of Chanhassen should be based upon: 1. Maximum protection of health and safety; 2. Adequate and efficient service; 3. Fair and equitable distribution of benefits and costs. 4. Utility systems will be coordinated with the installation of other public infrastructure improvements. All utility systems shall be installed in newly developing areas before or at the time of development. This allows for more economical utility installation, reduction of damage to streets, less erosion and a reduction of public improvement installation costs. 18 All public and private utilities within the city should be installed in a coordinated manner and in accordance with the sequencing and level of service indicated in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan. Maintain, operate and reconstruct where necessary, the existing utility systems so that they can support existing development and redevelopment in the urban service area. Establish an ongoing system of inspection and monitoring of local sewer, storm and water systems. The direct discharge of untreated domestic or industrial waste into any water body, water course, or drainageway shall be prohibited. Roof water and paved surface drainage shall be channeled into a storm water system as approved by the Chanhassen City Engineer and appropriate regulatory agencies. Storm water run-off shall be held on the land for the greatest extent possible. All urban density development shall be served by comprehensively designed storm water drainage systems. Such systems shall be consistent with and implement the city's storm water management plan (SWMP). Natural drainageways, streams, and ponding and other holding areas for surface water run-off should be publicly preserved. Gutters, catch basins, and storm sewers should conduct surface water run-off to the natural drainageways and away from building areas. Utilities such as cable, electricity, telephone and natural gas must be available at the time any development is open for occupancy. Whenever possible, those services shall be underground. All underground utilities should be installed at the same time to reduce installation and maintenance costs. Where overhead utility lines are necessary, their design and alignment should be compatible with existing,proposed or probable development of the area and the protection of natural resources. Any structure to be inhabited should provide the following: - A continuous supply of potable water. - Sanitary facilities and an approved sewage disposal system. - Heating adequate for healthful and comfortable living conditions. - Hot water for domestic use. - Electricity for lighting and equipment use in the dwelling. 19 - Within the urban service area, water service and hydrant outlets shall be provided for fire protection. The spacing and design criteria of these systems shall conform to city ordinance and shall serve to improve or maintain the existing fire insurance rating. GOAL To provide for reasonable and environmentally safe development at low densities experienced in areas located outside the MUSA line consistent with the City's land use goals and policies. POLICIES The city will establish an ongoing inspection system and permit issuance program for septic systems consistent with the guidelines and regulations stated in the local sewer plan. The Chanhassen sewer plan will indicate acceptable locations, ordinances and design standards for septic tank systems. The city shall provide informational assistance to septic tank users on how to maintain and operate on-site disposal systems. The pumping of sludge from septic tank systems will be discharged into the metropolitan disposal system only in such locations as may be designed by the city and the MCES. The city shall forbid sewered urban-type development in designated rural service areas which lie adjacent to existing or proposed sewer interceptors. Non-urban land uses should be served by properly constructed and operated septic tank and well water systems. GOAL To recognize the often unique circumstances of unserviced lots located both inside and outside of the MUSA line located in subdivisions that were platted prior to 1987 under ordinances that allowed 2 %2 acre lots minimums. POLICIES These lots were, for the most part, developed relatively recently and have new on-site sanitary and water service built to high standards. The City will, therefore, seek to ensure that these subdivisions are not unduly burdened by new local utility lines and related assessments. The City Council should seek to adopt sensitive policies for trunk line improvements as well. The City will utilize policies listed above to ensure the proper maintenance and functioning of these systems. Property owners must understand that proper maintenance and upkeep of on-site systems is their responsibility. At such time as on-site systems begin to fail the City will work 20 with residents to install utilities to these subdivisions in a coordinated, comprehensive manner. Since onsite systems tend to fail at different times at different lots in a subdivision, residents should be aware that utilities may need to be provided before a consensus is achieved from all impacted property owners. Homes developed since 1987 in the Rural Area are equipped with alternate drainfield sites. If problems occur with the primary site, the City would look favorably on allowing use of the secondary site if it is still functional. g:\plan\comp plan\sewer-infrastructure element.doc 21 7 O U 7 co a) o 0 o O M O O O O O O O O O O 1OcoQ) 6 6 069 Eft (N Eft N 1--- -- - - 1 O O_--j0 001 O I1 I CD !

So while these retail/entertain- ment complexes often sport the glitz of Times Square,they aspire to the social significance of a town square. To be successful over time, these complexes should not just recycle familiar national tenants but must tie into the community's culture,said real-estate and enter- tainment experts. Kenneth Wong,head of Disney Imagineering, whose success in creating entertaining places is unparalleled, said they should have"a sense of localism,a sense of experience,mood and time and memory. History lends famil- iarity." Henry Beer of Denver-based Communication Arts, one of the country's leading design firms, said they should have"one foot in nostalgia and one in prophecy. When you can connect with peo- ple's past and the resident culture, the chances of leading them to a new place expands."
