NO. 187501 1 •-' -- -- — --- Chapel Hill Academy June 3, 1998 Page 2 PROPOSAL/SUMMARY There are three requests associated with this application. An interim use permit to allow a temporary 3,100 square foot modular classroom building, a zoning ordinance amendment to allow temporary buildings in the Office Institution District as an interim use and a variance to allow a temporary building to be located 8.5 feet from a side lot line. The site contains an existing church, 2 houses, 2 garages,and a playground. The applicant is requesting an interim use permit to locate a 3,100 square foot modular classroom building along the northwest corner of the existing Chapel Hill Academy Building (former St. Hubert's Church and School). The site is located north of West 78th Street, west of Great Plains Boulevard, east of Frontier Trail, and south of vacated Chan View. The site has an area of 4.58 acres. The majority of the site is zoned OI, Office Institutional, while the easterly portion is zoned RSF, Residential Single Family District. Access to the site is gained via Great Plains Boulevard. The purpose of the request is to allow Chapel Hill Academy to temporarily expand their classroom area until a permanent addition is added to the building. Several discussions and meetings took place between the applicant and staff regarding this proposal. The applicant's ultimate goal is to add an addition that would accommodate new classrooms and gymnasium. However, this expansion is anticipated to be completed over the next 5 years. The enrollment numbers continues to grow resulting in a need for a larger space. The applicant requested the use of the modular classroom building as an interim use and staff believes it is a reasonable solution until an addition is built. We explained to the applicant that we realize plans take time to complete, however, we wanted a concept plan that shows the future expansion to accompany this application. Alternative 1 was presented to the city approximately 3 months ago. During that time, staff was working with the area residents on the Chanhassen "Old Town" Plan. Alternative 1 was presented to the neighbors (strictly as a potential concept). The neighbors were concerned with the potential expansion toward Frontier Trail. Their main issues were the fact that the concept reflected a 2 story gymnasium facing single family homes, the existing two homes which acted as a buffer between the school and the residences east of Frontier Trail were removed, a new curb-cut was added along Frontier Trail which is already heavily traveled, and the mature trees were taken out. The applicant prepared a second alternative that takes into consideration all the comments and recommendations made at the Chanhassen"Old Town"meetings. They include an addition along the southern portion of the site which would allow a stronger presence on West 78`h Street, avoiding the majority of the existing mature trees, screening and reducing the size of the existing parking lot, and maintaining vehicular access off of Great Plains Boulevard. We need to stress the point that these are concepts and have not been studied thoroughly. The applicant is aware that staff favors Alternative 2, however, final classroom layout, gymnasium, size of rooms, number of parking spaces needed, etc., has not been completed. As part of the final discussions with the applicant, staff explained that we will recommend approval of the interim use permit for the modular classroom building with the Chapel Hill Academy June 3, 1998 Page 3 condition that a complete site plan application for the addition be submitted to the city one year after the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the modular building. The applicant agreed that this was a reasonable request. Staff is proposing a zoning ordinance amendment to allow temporary buildings in the Office Institutional District. If this amendment is approved, the application will be in compliance with the ordinance. The second request is for a zoning ordinance amendment to the Office Institutional District by adding Section 20-796 Interim uses, to allow Temporary Classroom structures for use by public or private schools needed for temporary use. The third request is for a side yard setback variance. The ordinance states"The minimum setback is fifty (50) feet when it abuts a residential district without being separated from the residential district by a street or railroad right-of-way." The temporary building is proposed to be located 8.5 feet from the north property line. There is a vacated right-of-way that separates the subject site from the residential lots located to the north. There are also mature evergreen trees that would screen the building. The proposed location is one of the most logical areas to place the structure. It is screened from views on two sides by the existing building and existing vegetation around it, will not require any grading since it will be placed above an exiting parking lot, and it will be painted the same brown color to match the existing building. It is the least obtrusive location for a temporary addition and staff recommends approval of this setback variance. Also, this location will leave the remainder of the site in a condition that will facilitate its future development for the ultimate expansion. BACKGROUND St. Hubert's Church has had a presence in the community that dates back to its early history. It has operated as a church and school pre-dating today's ordinances and requirements. On November 3, 1975, the City Council approved a conditional use permit for the parish of St. Hubert's to erect a complex consisting of a rectory, parish offices, meeting rooms/classrooms and a church structure. This involved the relocation of the church from the south to the north side of West 78th Street. In 1997, St. Hubert's Church completed a new structure in Villages on the Pond and vacated the complex located on West 78th Street. Chapel Hill Academy leased the space to operate a private school. They need additional classroom space to accommodate the increased number of students. The ultimate plan is to construct an addition over the next few years. Until then,they are requesting approval to locate a temporary classroom building on the site. COMPLIANCE WITH INTERIM USE PERMIT STANDARDS The amended ordinance, if approved, provides that interim use permits are reviewed under the general issuance standards established for conditional use permits, Section 20-232, of the ordinance. The following constitutes a compilation of the general issuance standards and staffs Chapel Hill Academy June 3, 1998 Page 4 findings for each. 1. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. * The proposed building is a temporary structure which will be used for a maximum of 5 years. The building will be used as classrooms to accommodate the higher enrollment rate which will be compatible with the existing use on the property. It will have minimum impact on the adjoining properties. The property to the east is separated by a detached accessory building and the properties to the north are screened by mature vegetation. It will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, comfort, or general welfare of the city. 2. Will be consistent with the objectives of the city's Comprehensive Plan and this chapter. * The use of the building will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and this chapter if the setback variance is granted and the zoning ordinance amendment is approved. 3. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so to be compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area. * The building is one story high. The main material used on the exterior of the building is wood. The same material could be found on the existing building. The applicant intends to paint the wood the same color as the existing building to make it appear as an extension of the existing building. This use will not be changing the essential character of the area. Once a permanent structure is built, the temporary structure will be removed. 4. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned neighboring uses. * The proposed building will have minimum impact, if any at all, on existing uses. The proposed location is currently used as a parking lot. The applicant is proposing to locate a single story building on that site. There will be no grading and construction will be minimum and limited to placing the temporary building in the proper location and providing access to it. No vegetation is proposed to be removed as a result of this temporary addition. 5. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and services Chapel Hill Academy June 3, 1998 Page 5 provided by the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use. * The use is temporary but will have services such as sewer and water available to it. 6. Will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. * The use will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. On the contrary, it will provide a much needed classroom space. 7. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, rodents, or trash. * The proposed temporary building will not result in excessive traffic, noise and fumes. The students will be carpooling to school. The school is considering a school bus program for the future. 8. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which do not create traffic congestion or interfere with traffic or surrounding public thoroughfares. * The proposed structure will be located to the east of an existing parking lot. It will not impact existing traffic patterns. Also, school hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. which is not during rush hour. 9. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of solar access, natural, scenic or historic features of major significance. * The proposal will not result in any significant impact to natural or historic features. 10. Will be aesthetically compatible with the area. * The area proposed for the temporary addition, once completed, will still be aesthetically compatible with the surrounding residential sites. The applicant intends to paint the structure to match the existing building. 11. Will not depreciate surrounding property values. * The proposed use will not have a long term impact on surrounding property values. Chapel Hill Academy June 3, 1998 Page 6 12. Will meet standards prescribed for certain uses as provided in this article. * The proposed temporary building must meet the requirement and standards prescribed for the OI District. Staff feels that the application is complete and will minimize potential impacts. With the conditions proposed, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission and City Council approve the project. VARIANCE The Planning Commission shall not recommend and the City Council shall not grant a variance unless they find the following facts: a. That the literal enforcement of this chapter would cause undue hardship. Undue hardship means that the property cannot be put to reasonable use because of its size, physical surroundings, shape or topography. Reasonable use includes a use made by a majority of comparable property within 500 feet of it. The intent of this provision is not to allow a proliferation of variances but to recognize that and develop neighborhoods pre-existing standards exist. Variances that blend with these pre- existing standards without departing downward from them meet this criteria. * The nature of this variance is temporary. The site has street frontage on three sides and the remaining side yard abuts a residential neighborhood. There is a vacated right-of-way that separates the subject site from the residential neighborhood. The vacated right-of-way has a total width of 66 feet. The subject site is entitled to the southerly 33 feet of the vacated right-of-way, while the northerly 33 feet would revert back to the residential property to the north. This would translate to a 41.5 foot setback on the temporary structure setback. The closest home is located approximately 100 feet north of the proposed temporary structure. The proposed location is the most logical one. It provides a reasonable connection to the existing building, will not require any grading, and is screened from views by existing vegetation. It is in a location that will not interfere with any future expansion. b. The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable, generally,to other property within the same zoning classification. * The conditions upon which this petition for a variance is based are not applicable generally to other properties within the same zoning classification. c. The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income Chapel Hill Academy June 3, 1998 Page 7 potential of the parcel of land. * The purpose of this variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel. d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self created hardship. * The difficulty or hardship is not self-created. The hardship is a result of the physical surroundings of the area. The site is surrounded by public right-of-way on three sides. The northern portion of the site has a vacated right-of-way abutting it. The proposed location for the temporary structure will have minimum impact, if any, on surrounding properties. e. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located. * Granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel of land is located. f. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increases the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. * The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets. It will not increase the traffic. ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT The current ordinance does not allow temporary structures in the Office Institutional District. The number of school age children is on the increase and schools are constantly trying to enlarge their buildings to accommodate these increasing numbers. Funding for larger buildings is always an issue. This amendment will provide schools with an interim solution. Staff is recommending a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to the Office Institutional District by adding Section 20-796 Interim uses, to allow Temporary Classroom structures for use by public or private schools needed for temporary use. GRADING The temporary building is proposed to be moved in and placed on the existing parking lot. The Chapel Hill Academy June 3, 1998 Page 8 structure is proposed to be constructed on a series of footings 42"deep. Other than the footings, no land alteration is proposed. UTILITIES The temporary building is proposed to be situated on top of an existing sanitary sewer line which is of concern should the city need to perform repairs to the line. The likelihood of this happening is very remote. However, the applicant should be aware that if the city does need to repair the line, the city shall not be held responsible for any damage as a result of moving the structure to perform repairs. The sewer line is approximately 20 feet deep. Based on the plan, it appears no additional sewer or water service is necessary for this proposal. DRAINAGE Based on the plan, the proposed building will not create the need for additional storm drainage improvements. The building should be situated in a fashion that will not impede the existing neighborhood drainage pattern. Provision to maintain drainage needs to be incorporated into the plan. STREETS The site is served from the existing parking facilities. No additional improvements appear necessary. BUILDING CODE ISSUES Background The north portion of the existing building was constructed in 1976. It was constructed as a mixed occupancy building-E (educational - classrooms),B(business -offices)and A(assembly-church and gymnasium). It was constructed as a type V-1 hour(wood with one-hour fire-resistive construction)building. It is not fire sprinidered. A portion of Chan View abutting the north property line of the church/school property was vacated in 1975 (resolution 65721). It's not clear how this affected the common property line between the church and property owners to the north. The applicant is proposing the placement of a 48' by 67' portable classroom that is currently being used in Eden Prairie. The portable classrooms are of type V-N (nonrated wood construction) construction. The applicant is proposing to place the classrooms in the parking lot between the north wall of the church and the north property line. The classrooms are intended to be used for Chapel Hill Academy June 3, 1998 Page 9 five years. A classroom is an E-1 occupancy. Analysis Temporary Occupancy. The building code recognizes only limited temporary structures - reviewing stands,protection fences, canopies, etc. For obvious reasons,code requirements for occupied buildings cannot be relaxed. The fact that the use may be discontinued at some future time will not deter fires or accidents. Although the classrooms may only be on the site for five years, all applicable provisions of the building code apply. Property Line Setbacks. The building code requires different levels of exterior wall and opening protection based on the distance of a building from the property line. The existing church/school building was far enough away from the property line so that no opening protection was required. Because the church/school had to be constructed as a type V-1 hr building, the exterior walls had to be of one-hour fire-resistive construction regardless of the distance from the property line. The north wall of the portable classrooms is proposed to be 8.5' from the north property line,the south wall is proposed to be 10' from the church/school and the east wall is proposed to be 15' from the church/school. • North wall. Walls less than 10' from the property line are required to be of one-hour fire resistive construction. Openings less than 10' from the property line are required to be protected. The vacated portion of Chan View may have increased the distance to the church/school property line,making protection unnecessary. In any event, the private drive remains, and zoning setback requirements make it unlikely the homes to the north will build in that area. For these reasons, the 8.5' distance of the portable classrooms from the property is acceptable. • South wall. Because the church/school building and the portable classrooms are of dissimilar occupancies and construction types,an property line must be assumed between the two buildings. The property line can be assumed at the most advantageous location for the two buildings. The portable classroom will only be used at this location for five years, so it's probably desirable to assume the property line at a location that won't require any alterations to the classroom building. This assumption would place the property line 10' away from the building, or right at the exterior wall of the existing church school building. A property line at the exterior wall of the church/school is acceptable only if it is a two-hour fire-resistive wall with a parapet and no openings. There are no openings in the portion of the wall along the assumed property line. The wall was constructed as a one-hour fire- resistive wall, but in reality it is of two-hour fire-resistive construction for the most part. The nonrated combustible band at the exterior of the building and the roof/ceiling at the top of the wall will need to be protected as required for two-hour fire-resistive construction. A 30"high parapet will also need to be constructed. • East wall. The east wall of the portable classrooms must be 10' from the assumed property line to remain as is. The west wall of the church/school has a number of unprotected Chapel Hill Academy June 3, 1998 Page 10 openings in this area, so the property line must be 10' from the church/school. These property line setbacks will result in the buildings being a minimum of 20' apart. There may be other methods of providing required protection. I have explored the most practical least expensive scenarios. I have discussed these requirements with the applicant. Exiting. A pedestrian walkway meeting the requirements of the building code will need to be constructed connecting the two buildings in order to provide required accessibility to the sanitation facilities. The walkway will be constructed in an area where required exits from the church/school already exist. These exits must be maintained. They are on the accessible route for the building, so any change in level must be by a ramp. It is permissible to exit through the pedestrian walkway if all applicable requirements of the building code are met. Accessibility. Placement of the portable classrooms in the area shown will result in the loss of accessible parking stalls. Accessible stalls must be replaced at the ratio and location required by the building code. Any new construction associated with the portable classroom must also meet accessibility requirements. Plans and Permits. The manufacturer of the portable classrooms has supplied information on the required location of building supports. A local structural engineer must provide plans showing footing sizes, footing reinforcement and tie down or anchoring requirements. Plans showing the design of skirting,the pedestrian walkway,and building protection. must also be submitted. They are not required to be prepared by an architect. Plans will be reviewed by Inspections Division staff prior to issuance of a building permit. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the following motion: Interim Use Permit "The Planning Commission recommends approval of Interim Use Permit #98-1, with a variance to locate the structure 8.5 feet from the northern property line, with the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall submit a complete site plan application no later than one year after issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. 2. The wood siding on the temporary building shall be painted the same color "brown" as the existing building. 3. The Interim Use Permit shall expire in 5 years from the date approved by the City Council. Chapel Hill Academy June 3, 1998 Page 11 4. The temporary structure shall be used as classroom space only. 5. The City shall not be held liable for any damage to the proposed temporary building as a result of performing repairs to the existing sanitary sewer line. 6. Provision to maintain the existing neighborhood drainage shall be incorporated into the plan for staff review and approval. 7. Building Official conditions: a) The portable classroom and the existing church/school must be altered to comply with building code provisions for wall and opening protection at property lines with the exception of the north wall of the portable classroom. b) Existing exiting for the church/school must be maintained. c) New accessible parking stalls must be provided in compliance with the current building code. d) New construction must meet all current building code requirements. e) Plans must be submitted to the Inspections Division for review and building permit approval prior to the building being moved to the site. 8. Meet with Fire Prevention Division for Fire Code requirements. Zoning Ordinance Amendment "The Planning Commission recommends approval of the Zoning Ordinance Amendment to the Office Institutional District by adding Section 20-796 to read as follows: Section 20-796 Interim uses: 1. Temporary Classroom structures for use by public or private schools needed for temporary use." Chapel Hill Academy June 3, 1998 Page 12 ATTACHMENTS 1. Memo from Dave Hempel dated May 22, 1998 2.

The City of Chanhassen.A growing community with clean lakes,quality schools,a charming downtown,thriving businesses,and beautif d parks.A great place to live,work,and piay: Sharmin Al-Jaff, Planner II May 26, 1998 Page 2 The north wall of the portable classrooms is proposed to be 8.5'from the north property line,the south wall is proposed to be 10'from the church/school and the east wall is proposed to be 15' from the church/school. • North wall. Walls less than 10' from the property line are required to be of one-hour fire resistive construction. Openings less than 10'from the property line are required to be protected.The vacated portion of Chan View may have increased the distance to the church/school property line,making protection unnecessary. In any event,the private drive remains,and zoning setback requirements make it unlikely the homes to the north will build in that area. For these reason,the 8.5'distance of the portable classrooms from the property is acceptable. • South wall. Because the church/school building and the portable classrooms are of dissimilar occupancies and construction types,an property line must be assumed between the two buildings. The property line can be assumed at the most advantageous location for the two buildings. The portable classroom will only be used at this location for five year,so it's probably desirable to assume the property line at a location that won't require any alterations to the classroom building. This assumption would place the property line 10' away from the building,or right at the exterior wall of the existing church school building. A property line at the exterior wall of the church/school is acceptable only if it is a two-hour fire-resistive wall with a parapet and no openings.There are no openings in the portion of the wall along the assumed property line.The wall was constructed as a one-hour fire-resistive wall,but in reality it is of two-hour fire-resistive construction for the most part. The nonrated combustible band at the exterior of the building and the roof/ceilingat the top of the wall will need to be protected as required for two-hour fire- resistive construction. A 30"high parapet will also need to be constructed. • East wall. The east wall of the portable classrooms must be 10' from the assumed property line to remain as is. The west wall of the church/school has a number of unprotected openings in this area,so the property line must be 10' from the church/school. These property line setbacks will result in the buildings being a minimum of 20' apart. There may be other methods of providing required protection. I have explored the most practical least expensive scenarios. I have discussed these requirements with the applicant. Exiting. A pedestrian walkway meeting the requirements of the building code will need to be constructed connecting the two buildings in order to provide required accessibility to the sanitation facilities. The walkway will be constructed in an area where required exits from the church/school already exist. These exits must be maintained. They are on the accessible route for the building,so any change in level must be by a ramp. It is permissible to exit through the pedestrian walkway if all applicable requirements of the building code are met. Accessibility. Placement of the portable classrooms in the area shown will result in the loss of accessible parking stalls. Accessible stalls must be replaced at the ratio and location required by the building code. Any new construction associated with the portable classroom must also meet accessibility requirements. Sharmin Al-Jaff, Planner II May 26, 1998 Page 3 Plans and Permits. The manufacturer of the portable classrooms has supplied information on the required location of building supports. A local structural engineer must provide plans showing footing sizes,footing reinforcement and tie down or anchoring requirements. Plans showing the design of skirting,the pedestrian walkway,and building protection.must also be submitted. They are not required to be prepared by an architect. Plans will be reviewed by Inspections Division staff prior to issuance of a building permit. Recommendations: The following requirements should be added to the conditions of approval; 1. The portable classroom and the existing church/school must be altered to comply with building code provisions for wall and opening protection at property lines with the exception of the north wall of the portable classroom.. 2. Existing exiting for the church/school must be maintained. 3. New accessible parking stalls must be provided in compliance with the current building code. 4. New construction must meet all current building code requirements. 5. Plans must be submitted to the Inspections Division for review and building permit approval prior to the building being moved to the site. g'safeglsal ancmos'plan chplhil t 5PJ��k j L1 3,l110111101 I I I I l` Ell NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING � r• __ PLANNING COMMISSIONMilW W 7� t Wednesday, June 3, 1998 d -r- at 7:00 p.m. — , City Hall Council Chambers PP �_ r 690 City Center Drive rk ieW a .

The requested length of the interim use is five years starting, August 1988. The proposed temporary classroom building will be located adjacent to the north end of the existing building and would be connected to the existing building by a covered pedestrian walkway. The temporary classroom building is currently in use at our Eden Prairie facility on Duck Lake Road. Chapel Hill Academy intends to purchase the entire St. Hubert's property and expand the school building to accommodate our projected enrollment growth. We will be operating at the St. Hubert's site under a lease/purchase agreement until the purchase is completed. The maximum planned enrollment will be approximately 450 students in grades K-8. We expect to begin building expansion in 2-3 years and would remove the temporary building at that time. We are requesting five years to account for the time of construction and any unforeseen delays. See attached letter for details about Chapel Hill Academy. Chapel Hill Academy 17850 Duck Lake Trail Eden Prairie, MN 55346 612/949-9014 February 16, 1998 Ms. Sharmin Al-Jaff, City of Chanhassen 690 Coulter Drive Chanhassen Minnesota Re: Chapel Hill Academy/old St. Hubert's site Dear Sharmin: As you requested, the following is a brief overview of Chapel Hill Academy, some details of our current operation, and some of the issues related to our desire to purchase the old St. Hubert's Church and School site. Chapel Hill Academy was founded 27 years ago by a small group of parents that wanted to make a difference in their children's lives. As it states in the preamble to the Chapel Hill Academy constitution, the school was established"to help them carry out their child-training responsibilities in a God-pleasing manner."That sentiment is evident today in the CHA Mission Statement: "To glorify God and assist families by providing a Christ-centered education which inspires and enables students to pursue academic excellence and spiritual maturity" Chapel Hill Academy is a non-denominational, non-affiliated, private Christian school for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. The 1997-98 enrollment is 246 students from 167 families. This represents significant growth over the past 4 years. The school is currently leasing approximately 22,000 square feet of space in two locations. The school's main campus, and home for most of its history, is at King of Glory Luthern Church on Duck Lake Trail in Eden Prairie. In 1997 CHA moved the junior high to the old St. Hubert's school in Chanhassen. Our families live and work in the southwest metropolitan area; about 80% are residents of Chanhassen or an adjacent City(Chaska, Eden Prairie...) The operation at Chapel Hill is typical of most K-8 schools with school hours from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The school calendar generally follows the local public schools for start date, end date and holidays. Miscellaneous activities (music, sports, etc...) occur in the afternoon and evening hours and on some Saturdays. The K-8 nature of the school precludes any activities later than approximately 9:00 p.m. Recess and Physical Education classes are held outside when appropriate. There is currently not a bus program for students—most families car pool for daily drop off and pick up. A bussing program will likely be considered at some time in the future. In a typical year,there are three or four all-school events or programs. As we grow, and anticipate further growth based on the rapid development of the Chanhassen/Chaska area, we have identified the need for an expanded facility, one which will allow all of our students to be in one location as well as providing for the addition of new students. The school has established a targeted maximum of 450 students in a two-track (two classes at each grade level) K-8 program. Based on our current growth rate, we expect that this could occur within the next 5-8 years by adding one class per year. As you are aware, Chapel Hill Academy has been negotiating with St. Hubert's Catholic Community to purchase their old school and church building on approximately 4 acres of • property located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of West 78th Street and Great Plains Boulevard. We believe that this facility will meet our needs in the near future and can possibly be expanded to accommodate our ultimate population. A condition to our closing on the property would be obtainment of the necessary approvals from the City of Chanhassen for the future expansion. Many possible alternatives exist for this expansion. Attached is a concept for expansion that adds 30-40,000 square feet to the existing structure.This concept was prepared as an exercise to determine if the site could support the anticipated 65-75,000 total square feet within the parameters in the City's zoning ordinances. The concept shows the removal of the two older homes on the east side of the property and new construction to the east, but options exist which would allow for the expansion to be southerly toward 78th Street or westerly toward Great Plains Boulevard. The existing parking is significantly more than what is needed for a school use alone. Some of the parking could be replaced by building or green space. All of these issues would be worked out in the detailed design and City review processes. A likely interim space solution would be the relocation and use of the modular classroom building currently at our Eden Prairie campus. We at Chapel Hill Academy are excited about the possibility of moving to the downtown Chanhassen area. We believe that the proposed use would be very similar to that which has been on the site for the past many years. We believe that the addition of children and families to the downtown area will add to the richness of this already vibrant community. We are open to input from the City staff, Council and neighbors as we finalize our negotiations and further investigate our options for the site. If you have any questions regarding Chapel Hill Academy or our intentions for this property, please feel free to contact me at 988-8202 or our Principal, Mr. Dick Case at 949-9014. Sincerely, Chapel Hill Academy Daniel A. Blake CITY OF MEMORANDUM CHANHASSEN TO: Planning Commission 690 City Center Drive,PO Box 147 FROM: Bob Generous, Senior Planner Chanhassen,Minnesota 55317 Phone 612.9371900 DATE: June 3, 1998 General Fax 612.937.5739 Engineering Fax 612937.9152 SUBJ: Amendment to PUD 85-1 to Allow Churches as a Permitted Use Public Safety Fax 612.934.2524 Web wwu:ci.cbanhassen.inn.us PROPOSAL Staff is recommending amending PUD#85-1 to allow churches on Lot 1, Block 7, Hidden Valley as a permitted use. The city is recommending this change to legitimize the existing church facility located on the property. We believe that this will rectify any error the city may have made in the past. BACKGROUND The church site is currently being marketed by Family of Christ Lutheran Church to permit them to relocate within the Bluff Creek Corporate Center development. As part of the churches discussion with the city about permitted uses of their property, it was discovered that the conditional use permit for the church was never approved. The church is now a non-conforming use. The purpose of this amendment is to make whole the church use. On March 14, 1998, the city approved Site Plan#88-1 for a 7,277 square foot building for Family of Christ Lutheran Church. The church was subsequently built on the property. On December 23, 1985, the city approved a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to allow churches as a Conditional Use in the P-1, Planned Residential District. On July 15, 1985,the city made a negative declaration on the Environmental Assessment Worksheet for the Hidden Valley Development proposal which included 109 single family homes, a 3.5 acre church site, and 7 acres of commercial, granted final plat approval for Hidden Valley, and rezoned the property to P-1 with a recommendation that a zoning ordinance amendment should be processed to allow churches in the P-1 district. The City of Chanhassen.A growing community with clean lakes,quality schools,a charming downtown,thriving businesses,and beautiful parks.A great place to live, work,and play. Planning Commission May 21, 1998 Page 2 DISCUSSION Due to a procedural omission, a conditional use permit for the church was not processed as part of the site plan review for the Family of Christ Lutheran Church. Rather than penalize the church, which has shown that it is compatible with the surrounding uses, staff is proposing that the church use be permitted on Lot 1,Block 7, Hidden Valley. Any future expansion of the church facility would require site plan review. Another alternative would be to rezone the property to Office & Institutional District, OI. However, the OI district permits other uses including fire stations, museums, health services/hospitals, nursing homes, community centers, offices, and funeral homes. As part of the original review of the development, this property was considered for use as a church. Rather than open up the site to uses not envisioned as part of the original PUD, we discussed amending the PUD to permit churches. Staff believes that rezoning the property to OI would permit uses less compatible to the abutting property owners. Since the project was originally approved, the city has adopted several ordinances that would be used in reviewing any site plans proposed for the property including the Highway 5 Overlay District and the Buffer Yard Ordinance. Therefore, except for establishing building setbacks, staff feels that only an amendment to the PUD for use is necessary. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion: "The Planning Commission recommends approval of the amendment to PUD 85-1 to permit a church on Lot 1, Block 7, Hidden Valley. The following setbacks shall apply: Building: minimum 50 feet from any property line; Parking: minimum 30 feet from interior lot lines and 25 feet from street frontages." ATTACHMENTS 1.

On June 9, 1997, the City Council approved site plan#97-6 for Heartland America, a 101,600 square foot office industrial building on Lot 3, Block 1, Arboretum Business Park. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The development must comply with the Development Design Standards for Arboretum Business Park (attached). GRADING On May 13, 1998, City Council approved final plat and grading, drainage, and erosion control plan for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition. This development falls within that proposed grading operation. It appears the proposed grading plan corresponds with the approved grading plan for Arboretum Business Park 2"d Addition. The proposed first floor elevation will be situated approximately eight feet above Coulter Boulevard. Eventually, Trunk Highway 41 will be upgraded and lowered. The plans have taken into account the future upgrading of Trunk Highway 41 which should result in a landscaped earth berm along Trunk Highway 41. DRAINAGE In conjunction with the City's public improvement project no. 97-1D, a stormwater drainage system will be constructed within Coulter Boulevard to convey this site's stormwater runoff into existing stormwater ponds within the subdivision for pretreatment prior to discharging into wetlands. The applicant's engineer needs to supply detailed storm drainage calculations and drainage area maps for the individual catch basins. The calculations shall be based on a 10-year, 24-hour storm event. The calculations and drainage map shall be submitted to staff for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. Depending on storm sewer calculations, additional catch basins may be required throughout the parking lot to adequately address stormwater runoff from the site. UTILITIES Municipal sanitary sewer and water service is proposed to be extended to the site from Coulter Boulevard in conjunction with the City's public improvement project no. 97-1D later this summer. Individual sewer and water services will be extended to the property line for future extension by the applicant. Connection to the city's utility improvements along Coulter Boulevard will not be permitted until the city's utility lines have been tested and accepted by the City. All of the utilities proposed will be constructed and privately owned and maintained by the property owner and not the City, therefore, detailed construction plans will not be required. However, a utility plan sheet will be required with the building permit application. All utilities shall be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates and/or State plumbing codes. The applicant and/or All About Lights June 3, 1998 Page 2 PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The applicant is proposing a 55,911 square foot office/warehouse/showroom building on 4.46 acres. The maximum building height is 28 feet. The majority of the building, visible from public right-of- ways, is 23 feet high. Entrance features rise an additional two feet above the parapet wall. In addition, entrance features project out from the building approximately five feet and the building entrance is recessed into the building and further detailed through the use of columns and arches above the doorway. The loading dock areas are located on the east side of the building with the dock areas recessed approximately 32 feet from the farthest projects of the building. Building materials include concrete masonry unit (CMU) in rock face (rough and dull) and burnished (smooth and polished) textures. The applicant proposes the use of three block sizes: 8 inch by 8 inch, 16 inch by 16 inch, and 8 inch by 16 inch. The primary finish color is tan with an accent color of beige: The development design standards state that all walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping. The buildings shall have varied and interesting detailing. Staff is recommending that the developer incorporate additional architectural details of the western building elevation on others sides of the building to provide visual relief in views from public streets. Specifically, staff is recommending that 1) each outside corner of the building shall use rock face 16 x 16 inch CMU-1, 2) the north doorway shall be enhanced through the use of rock face 16 x 16 inch CMU-1 in proportion to the other building entrances, and 3) the applicant shall use burnished 8 x 8 inch CMU-1 between the showroom windows on the north end of the building. As required by the development design standards, all roof mounted equipment shall be screened from public view by walls of compatible appearing material or camouflaged to blend into the building or background. Wood screen fences are prohibited. The applicant has not provided details about the location, size, or parapet height above roof for the city to review to analyze the screening of such equipment. We are hereby notifying the applicant of the screening requirement. This site was identified as Lot 5, Block 1 of the Arboretum Business Park PUD Plan. Building size was estimated at 57,688 square feet. Site coverage is approximately 68 percent. Up to 70 percent site coverage is permitted. The permitted uses of the property included office, warehouse, industrial or utility services. Showroom space as an ancillary use is limited to 20 percent of the building floor area. Until Highway 41 is upgraded, the roadway will be approximately 12 feet above the proposed finished floor elevation at the north end of the building and Coulter Boulevard will remain a temporary cul-de- sac. Staff is recommending approval of site plan#98-10 subject to the conditions of the staff report. BACKGROUND On May 11, 1998, the City Council approved a site plan for a 50,400 square foot building as one of two office-industrial-warehouse buildings or one building up to 113,600 square feet. All About Lights June 3, 1998 Page 3 contractor will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate sewer, water, and plumbing permits from the City's Building Department. This property will be assessed for the sewer, water, and street improvements under City project 97-1D, however, according to city ordinance, the property may also be subject to additional sewer and water hook up charges at time of building permit issuance. Sewer and water hook up charges are determined based on the number of sewer availability charges (SAC units) which are determined by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services upon building plan review. The applicant and/or the contractor applying for the building permit will be responsible for the additional sanitary sewer and water hook up charges over and above what is proposed to be assessed with the City's public improvement project. The 1998 hook up charges for sanitary sewer and water are $1,216.00 and $1,584.00, respectively per unit. STREETS/PARKING LOTS The city's public improvement project no. 97-ID will be constructing Coulter Boulevard west of Century Boulevard and terminate at a temporary cul-de-sac near the northwest corner of the site. Eventually, Coulter Boulevard will be extended(with a right-in- right-out only) to Trunk Highway 41 with the future upgrading of Trunk Highway 41. The timing for the improvements to Trunk Highway 41 has not been determined, therefore, Coulter Boulevard may remain a cul-de-sac for quite some time. Without the city's public improvement no. 97-1D, the site plan should be considered premature since there will be inadequate utility and street improvements to accommodate this development. Also, the final plat for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition has not been recorded yet. Approval of the final plat for Phase II is also contingent upon the City awarding the bid for project no. 97-1D. The drive aisle widths throughout the project appear to be in conformance with city code. Staff is recommending industrial driveway aprons be constructed at all access points on to the city streets. Depending on timing, the City's public improvement project may incorporate the applicant's curb cut with the City's project. The City has a standard detail plate (No. 5207) which should be utilized at all access points. In conjunction with the City's street improvement project no. 97-1D, a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk is proposed along the south side of Coulter Boulevard. In an effort to promote pedestrian traffic, the applicant's site plan should be modified to incorporate a sidewalk system out to Coulter Boulevard at a location to be determined by staff and applicant's engineer. EROSION CONTROL The plans propose erosion control measures such as rock construction entrances and protection for catch basins until the parking lot has been paved. Erosion control fence is proposed along Coulter Boulevard. The silt fence should be located so as to not interfere with construction activities in conjunction with the City's improvement project. All About Lights June 3, 1998 Page 4 LANDSCAPING Landscaping requirements for the development include parking lot landscaping and buffer yard plantings. The parking lot area is 76,231 square feet. The minimum required amount of landscaping for the parking lot is 6,099 sq. ft. and 24 overstory trees. The applicant meets the landscaping requirement for amount of landscape area,but not for number of trees required in the parking lot. Proposed are eight overstory trees in the west or front parking lot. The remaining required trees appear to have been incorporated into the bufferyard plantings which exceed the required bufferyard B minimum. However, since no landscaping has been incorporated into the east or rear side of the building, staff recommends that two overstory trees be included in each of the three sodded areas in the rear of the building. LIGHTING/SIGNAGE Lighting for the interior of the business center should be consistent throughout the development. A decorative, shoe box fixture(high pressure sodium vapor lamps) with a square ornamental pole shall be used for area lighting. All light fixtures shall be shielded. Any wall mounted lighting shall be shielded from direct off-site view. Light level for site lighting shall be no more than 'h candle at the property line. All freestanding signs be limited to one monument sign per street frontage. Signs must be a minimum of 10 feet from the property line and must be located outside drainage and utility easements. 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 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. Wall sign shall be permitted per city ordinance for industrial office park site. All signs shall require a separate sign permit. MISCELLANEOUS Accessibility. The Uniform Building Code Table A-11-A requires 5 accessible parking spaces be provided when 101-150 parking stalls are constructed. The number of accessible spaces proposed on the Site Plan is . shown incorrectly. One van accessible space is required for every eight accessible spaces. CABO/ASI A117.1-1992 (C/A)requires a van accessible space to have an eight foot wide access aisle Permit requirements. Plans are often bid before the city building code plan review,making changes necessary for code compliance difficult and expensive to incorporate later. Accordingly, I would like to request that you relay to the developers and designers my desire to meet with them as early as possible to discuss commercial building permit requirements and the code review process.

This development falls within that proposed grading operation. It appears the proposed grading plan corresponds with the approved grading plan for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition. The proposed first floor elevation will be situated approximately eight feet above Coulter Boulevard. Eventually, Trunk Highway 41 will be upgraded and lowered. The plans have taken into account the future upgrading of Trunk Highway 41 which should result in a landscaped earth berm along Trunk Highway 41. DRAINAGE In conjunction with the City's public improvement project no. 97-1D, a stormwater drainage system will be constructed within Coulter Boulevard to convey this site's stormwater runoff into existing stormwater ponds within the subdivision for pretreatment prior to discharging into wetlands. The applicant's engineer needs to supply detailed storm drainage calculations and drainage area maps for the individual catch basins. The calculations shall be based on a 10-year,24-hour storm event. The calculations and drainage map shall be submitted to staff for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. Depending on storm sewer calculations,additional catch basins may be required throughout the parking lot to adequately address stormwater runoff from the site. UTILITIES Municipal sanitary sewer and water service is proposed to be extended to the site from Coulter Boulevard in conjunction with the City's public improvement project no. 97-1D later this summer. Individual sewer and water services will be extended to the property line for future extension by the applicant. Connection to the city's utility improvements along Coulter Boulevard will not be permitted until the city's utility lines have been tested and accepted by the City. All of the utilities proposed will be constructed The City of Chanhassen.A growing community with clean lakes,quality schools,a charming downtown,thriving businesses,and beautiful parks.A great place to live, work,and play. Bob Generous May 22, 1998 Page 2 and privately owned and maintained by the property owner and not the City, therefore, detailed construction plans will not be required. However,a utility plan sheet will be required with the building permit application. All utilities shall be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates and/or State plumbing codes. The applicant and/or contractor will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate sewer,water,and plumbing permits from the City's Building Department. This property will be assessed for the sewer,water, and street improvements under City project 97-1D,however,according to city ordinance,the property may also be subject to additional sewer and water hook up charges at time of building permit issuance. Sewer and water hook up charges are determined based on the number of sewer availability charges(SAC units)which are determined by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services upon building plan review. The applicant and/or the contractor applying for the building permit will be responsible for the additional sanitary sewer and water hook up charges over and above what is proposed to be assessed with the City's public improvement project. The 1998 hook up charges for sanitary sewer and water are $1216.00 and$1,584.00,respectively per unit. STREETS/PARKING LOTS The City's public improvement project no.97-1D will be constructing Coulter Boulevard west of Century Boulevard and terminate at a temporary cul-de-sac near the northwest corner of the site. Eventually,Coulter Boulevard will be extended(with a right-in-right- out only)to Trunk Highway 41 with the future upgrading of Trunk Highway 41. The timing for the improvements to Trunk Highway 41 has not been determined,therefore, Coulter Boulevard may remain a cul-de-sac for quite some time. Without the City's public improvement no. 97-1D,the site plan should be considered premature since there will be inadequate utility and street improvements to accommodate this development. Also,the final plat for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition has not been recorded yet. Approval of the final plat for Phase II is also contingent upon the City awarding the bid for project no. 97-1D. The drive aisle widths throughout the project appear to be in conformance with city code. Staff is recommending industrial driveway aprons be constructed at all access points on to the city streets. Depending on timing,the City's public improvement project may incorporate the applicant's curb cut with the City's project. The City has a standard detail plate(No. 5207) which should be utilized at all access points. In conjunction with the City's street improvement project no. 97-1D,a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk is proposed along the south side of Coulter Boulevard. In an effort to promote pedestrian traffic,the applicant's site plan should be modified to incorporate a sidewalk system out to Coulter Boulevard at in a location to be determined by staff and applicant's engineer. Bob Generous May 22, 1998 Page 3 EROSION CONTROL The plans propose erosion control measures such as rock construction entrances and protection for catch basins until the parking lot has been paved. Erosion control fence is proposed along Coulter Boulevard. The silt fence should be located so as to not interfere with construction activities in conjunction with the City's improvement project. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. All driveway access points shall be constructed in accordance with the City's industrial driveway detail plate no.5207. 2. The City's boulevards must be restored with sod. 3. Site plan approval is contingent upon the City authorizing and awarding of public improvement project no. 97-1D for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition and recording of the final plat for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition. 4. Detailed storm drainage calculations including drainage area maps for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event shall be submitted to the City Engineer for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. 5. Connection to the City's utility system shall be prohibited until the city's utility lines have been tested and accepted by the City. The sanitary sewer and water lines and storm sewer on the site will be privately owned and maintained by the property owner and not the City. The contractor will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate sewer,water, and plumbing permits from the City's building Department. Cross access easements for the utilities and driveways shall be dedicated over the lot. 6. The site plan shall be modified to incorporate sidewalks out to Coulter Boulevard at a location to be determined by the applicant and staff. jms c: Anita Benson,City Engineer \'cfsl\volZ'eng"dave\pc\a11 about lights.spr.dot NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PLANNING COMMISSION Wednesday, June 3, 1998 at 7:00 p.m. _ .. - toulevard City Hall Council Chambers 690 City Center Drive m U, Coulter Blvd. SUBJECT: All About Lights Site Plan tr APPLICANT: Design 1 of Edina, Ltd.

Staff treated this site plan proposal and the previous proposal as twin sentinels for Coulter Boulevard which create a sense of place and entrance into the development. The applicant is proposing a 52,956 square foot "L" shaped office/warehouse/showroom building with 293 feet of wall area on Highway 41 and 261 feet of wall area on Coulter Boulevard on 4.45 acres. The maximum building height is 28 feet. The majority of the building, visible from public right-of-ways, is 23 feet high. Entrance features rise an additional two feet above the parapet wall. In addition, entrance features project out from the building approximately five feet and the building entrance is recessed into the building and further detailed through the use of columns and arches above the doorway. The loading dock areas are located on the northeast side of the building shielded from Coulter Boulevard and Highway 41. Staff is recommending that the applicant construct an earth berm to help screen the loading docks from Trunk Highway 5 corridor. Although the Trunk Highway 5 corridor is approximately 1,000 feet to the north, the building configuration and elevation exposes the loading docks to Trunk Highway 5 and an earth berm with landscaping would help break the building mass. Building materials include concrete masonry unit (CMU) in rock face (rough and dull)and burnished (smooth and polished) textures. The applicant proposes the use of three block sizes: 8 inch by 8 inch, 16 inch by 16 inch, and 8 inch by 16 inch. The primary finish color is tan with an accent color of beige. The development design standards state that all walls shall be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping. The buildings shall have varied and interesting detailing. Staff is recommending that the developer incorporate additional architectural details of the western building elevation on others sides of the building to provide visual relief in views from public streets. Specifically, staff is recommending that each outside corner of the building shall use rock face 16 x 16 inch CMU-1. As required by the development design standards, all roof mounted equipment shall be screened from public view by walls of compatible appearing material or camouflaged to blend into the building or background. Wood screen fences are prohibited. The applicant has not provided details about the location, size, or parapet height above roof for the city to review to analyze the screening of such equipment. We are hereby notifying the applicant of the screening requirement. This site was identified as Lot 1, Block 4 of the Arboretum Business Park PUD Plan. Building size was estimated at 57,199 square feet. Site coverage is approximately 65 percent. Up to 70 percent site coverage is permitted. The permitted uses of the property included office, warehouse, industrial or utility services. Showroom space as an ancillary use is limited to 20 percent of the building floor area. On the Level June 3, 1998 Page 3 Until Highway 41 is upgraded, the roadway will be approximately 20 feet above the proposed finished floor elevation at the south end of the building and Coulter Boulevard will remain a temporary cul-de- sac. Staff is recommending approval of site plan#98-11 subject to the conditions of the staff report. BACKGROUND On May 11, 1998, the City Council approved a site plan for a 50,400 square foot building as one of two office-industrial-warehouse buildings or one building up to 113,600 square feet. On July 28, 1997, the City Council approved the following: the ordinance for PUD#92-6 rezoning approximately 154 acres from Agricultural Estate, A2, to Planned Unit Development, PUD, and the PUD #92-6 granting final plat approval for Arboretum Business Park. On June 9, 1997, the City Council approved site plan#97-6 for Heartland America, a 101,600 square foot office industrial building on Lot 3, Block 1, Arboretum Business Park. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The development must comply with the Development Design Standards for Arboretum Business Park (attached). GRADING On May 13, 1998, City Council approved final plat and grading, drainage, and erosion control plan for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition. This development falls within that proposed grading operation. It appears the proposed grading plan corresponds with the approved grading plan for Arboretum Business Park rd Addition. The proposed first floor elevation will be situated approximately level with Coulter Boulevard on the east side of the lot and up to four feet below Coulter Boulevard on the west side of the lot. In the northeasterly corner of the site adjacent the loading docks, a large flat area is proposed. Staff is recommending that the applicant construct an earth berm to help screen the loading docks from Trunk Highway 5 corridor. Although the Trunk Highway 5 corridor is approximately 1,000 feet to the north, the building configuration and elevation exposes the loading docks to Trunk Highway 5 and an earth berm with landscaping would help break the building mass. DRAINAGE In conjunction with the City's public improvement project no. 97-1D, a stormwater drainage system will be constructed within Coulter Boulevard to convey this site's stormwater runoff into existing stormwater ponds within the subdivision for pretreatment prior to discharging into wetlands. The applicant's On the Level June 3, 1998 Page 4 engineer needs to supply detailed storm drainage calculations and drainage area maps for the individual catch basins. The calculations shall be based on a 10-year, 24-hour storm event. The calculations and drainage map shall be submitted to staff for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. Depending on storm sewer calculations, additional catch basins may be required throughout the parking lot to adequately address stormwater runoff from the site. UTILITIES Municipal sanitary sewer and water service is proposed to be extended to the site from Coulter Boulevard in conjunction with the City's public improvement project no. 97-1D later this summer. Individual sewer and water services will be extended to the property line for future extension by the applicant. Connection to the city's utility improvements along Coulter Boulevard will not be permitted until the city's utility lines have been tested and accepted by the City. All of the utilities proposed will be constructed and privately owned and maintained by the property owner and not the City, therefore, detailed construction plans will not be required. However, a utility plan sheet will be required with the building permit application. All utilities shall be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates and/or State plumbing codes. The applicant and/or contractor will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate sewer, water, and plumbing permits from the City's Building Department. This property will be assessed for the sewer, water, and street improvements under City project 97-1D, however, according to city ordinance, the property may also be subject to additional sewer and water hook up charges at time of building permit issuance. Sewer and water hook up charges are determined based on the number of sewer availability charges(SAC units)which are determined by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services upon building plan review. The applicant and/or the contractor applying for the building permit will be responsible for the additional sanitary sewer and water hook up charges over and above what is proposed to be assessed with the City's public improvement project. The 1998 hook up charges for sanitary sewer and water are $1,216.00 and $1,584.00, respectively per unit. STREETS/PARKING LOTS The City's public improvement project no. 97-1D will be constructing Coulter Boulevard west of Century Boulevard and terminate at a temporary cul-de-sac near the southwest corner of the site. Eventually, Coulter Boulevard will be extended(with a right-in-right-out only) to Trunk Highway 41 with the future upgrading of Trunk Highway 41. The timing for the improvements to Trunk Highway 41 has not been determined, therefore, Coulter Boulevard may remain a cul-de-sac for quite some time. Without the City's public improvement no. 97-1D, the site plan should be considered premature since there will be inadequate utility and street improvements to accommodate this development. Also, the On the Level June 3, 1998 Page 5 final plat for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition has not been recorded yet. Approval of the final plat for Phase II is also contingent upon the City awarding the bid for project no. 97-1D. The drive aisle widths throughout the project appear to be in conformance with city code. Staff is recommending industrial driveway aprons be constructed at all access points on to the city streets. Depending on timing, the City's public improvement project may incorporate the applicant's curb cut with the City's project. The City has a standard detail plate (No. 5207) which should be utilized at all access points. In conjunction with the City's street improvement project no. 97-1D, a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk is proposed along the south side of Coulter Boulevard. In an effort to promote pedestrian traffic, the applicant's site plan should be modified to incorporate a sidewalk system out to Coulter Boulevard at a location to be determined by staff and applicant's engineer. EROSION CONTROL The plans propose erosion control measures such as rock construction entrances and protection for catch basins until the parking lot has been paved. Since the downstream adjacent properties are undeveloped or basically in agricultural use, there is relatively no need to provide silt fence around the perimeter of the site. LANDSCAPING Landscaping requirements for the development include parking lot landscaping and buffer yard plantings. The applicant meets the landscaping requirement for amount of landscape area. In the northeasterly corner of the site adjacent the loading docks, a large flat area is proposed. Staff is recommending that the applicant construct an earth berm to help screen the loading docks from Trunk Highway 5 corridor. Although the Trunk Highway 5 corridor is approximately 1,000 feet to the north, the building configuration and elevation exposes the loading docks to Trunk Highway 5 and an earth berm with landscaping would help break the building mass. LIGHTING/SIGNAGE Lighting for the interior of the business center should be consistent throughout the development. A decorative, shoe box fixture(high pressure sodium vapor lamps)with a square ornamental pole shall be used for area lighting. All light fixtures shall be shielded. Any wall mounted lighting shall be shielded from direct off-site view. Light level for site lighting shall be no more than 1/2 candle at the property line. All freestanding signs be limited to one monument sign per street frontage. Signs must be a minimum of 10 feet from the property line and must be located outside drainage and utility easements. The sign shall not exceed eighty(80) square feet in sign display area nor be greater than eight(8) feet in height. The sign On the Level June 3, 1998 Page 6 treatment is an element of the architecture and thus should reflect 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. A wall sign shall be permitted per city ordinance for industrial office park site. All signs shall require a separate sign permit. MISCELLANEOUS Accessibility. The Uniform Building Code Table A-11-A requires 5 accessible parking spaces be provided when 101-150 parking stalls are constructed. The number of accessible spaces proposed on the Site Plan is shown incorrectly. One van accessible space is required for every eight accessible spaces. CABO/ASI A117.1-1992 (C/A)requires a van accessible space to have an eight foot wide access aisle Permit requirements. Plans are often bid before the city building code plan review, making changes necessary for code compliance difficult and expensive to incorporate later. Accordingly, I would like to request that you relay to the developers and designers my desire to meet with them as early as possible to discuss commercial building permit requirements and the code review process. 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; (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; On the Level June 3, 1998 Page 7 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: Subject to the revisions contained in the staff report, the proposed site plan is consistent with all plans and specifications and development design standards for the Arboretum Business Park Planned Unit Development. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion: "The Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan#98-11, On the Level, Inc., plans prepared by Design 1, dated 4/30/98, subject to the following conditions: 1. The development must comply with the Development Design Standards for Arboretum Business Park. 2. The applicant shall enter into a site plan agreement with the City and provide the necessary security to guarantee erosion control, site restoration and landscaping. 3. All driveway access points shall be constructed in accordance with the City's industrial driveway detail plate no. 5207. 4. The applicant shall incorporate an earth berm in the northeast corner of the site adjacent to the truck loading dock area.

Analysis: Accessibility. The Uniform Building Code Table A-11-A requires 5 accessible parking spaces be provided when 101-150 parking stalls are constructed.The number of accessible spaces proposed on the Site Plan is shown incorrectly.One van accessible space is required for every eight accessible spaces.CABO/ASI A117.1-1992(C/A)requires a van accessible space to have an eight foot wide access aisle Permit requirements. Plans are often bid before the city building code plan review,making changes necessary for code compliance difficult and expensive to incorporate later. Accordingly, I would like to request that you relay to the developers and designers my desire to meet with them as early as possible to discuss commercial building permit requirements and the code review process.. Recommendations: The following conditions should be included with the conditions of approval: 1. Revise the parking on the Site Plan to comply with the building code. 2. Meet with the Inspections Division plan reviewer as soon as possible after approval to begin the building code plan review process. g:'safetry\sak'memos'plan\AlAblte I The Cite of Chanhassen.A growing community with clean lakes,quality schools,a charming downtown,thriving businesses,and beautif rl parks.A great place to lire,work,and play 1101 CITY OF MEMORANDUM CHANHASSEN TO: Bob Generous, Senior Planner 690 City Center Drive,PO Box 14- FROM: David Hempel, Assistant City Engineer �0,-; Chanhassen,Minnesota 55317 Phone 612.937.1900 DATE: May 22, 1998 General Fax 612.937.5739 Engineering Fax 612.9379152 SUBJ: Site Plan Review for On The Level - Lot 1, Block 1, Arboretum Public Safety Fax 612.934.2524 Business Park 2" Addition - Land Use Review File No. 98-15 tt¢b wwtaci.chanhassen.tnn.us Upon review of the drawings prepared Design One dated April 30, 1998, and the civil drawings prepared by Schoell &Madson dated April, 1998, I offer the following comments and recommendations: GRADING On May 13, 1998, City Council approved final plat and grading, drainage, and erosion control plan for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition. This development falls within that proposed grading operation. It appears the proposed grading plan corresponds with the approved grading plan for Arboretum Business Park 2"d Addition. The proposed first floor elevation will be situated approximately level with Coulter Boulevard on the east side of the lot and up to four feet below Coulter Boulevard on the west side of the lot. In the northeasterly corner of the site adjacent the loading docks, a large flat area is proposed. Staff is recommending the applicant construct an earth berm to help screen the loading docks from Trunk Highway 5 corridor. Although the Trunk Highway 5 corridor is approximately 1,000 feet to the north however, the building configuration and elevation exposes the loading docks to Trunk Highway 5 and an earth berm with landscaping would help break the building mass. DRAINAGE In conjunction with the City's public improvement project no. 97-1D, a stormwater drainage system will be constructed within Coulter Boulevard to convey this site's stormwater runoff into existing stormwater ponds within the subdivision for pretreatment prior to discharging into wetlands. The applicant's engineer needs to supply detailed storm drainage calculations and drainage area maps for the individual catch basins. The calculations shall be based on a 10-year, 24-hour storm event. The calculations and drainage map shall be submitted to staff for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. Depending on storm sewer calculations, additional catch basins may be required throughout the parking lot to adequately address stormwater runoff from the site. The City of Chanhassen.A growing community with clean lakes,quality schools,a charming downtown,thriving businesses,and beautiftd parks.A great place to live,work,and play Bob Generous May 22, 1998 Page 2 UTILITIES Municipal sanitary sewer and water service is proposed to be extended to the site from Coulter Boulevard in conjunction with the City's public improvement project no. 97- 1 D later this summer. Individual sewer and water services will be extended to the property line for future extension by the applicant. Connection to the city's utility improvements along Coulter Boulevard will not be permitted until the city's utility lines have been tested and accepted by the City. All of the utilities proposed will be constructed and privately owned and maintained by the property owner and not the City, therefore, detailed construction plans will not be required. However, a utility plan sheet will be required with the building permit application. All utilities shall be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates and/or State plumbing codes. The applicant and/or contractor will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate sewer, water, and plumbing permits from the City's Building Department. This property will be assessed for the sewer, water, and street improvements under City project 97-1D, however, according to city ordinance, the property may also be subject to additional sewer and water hook up charges at time of building permit issuance. Sewer and water hook up charges are determined based on the number of sewer availability charges (SAC units) which are determined by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services upon building plan review. The applicant and/or the contractor applying for the building permit will be responsible for the additional sanitary sewer and water hook up charges over and above what is proposed to be assessed with the City's public improvement project. The 1998 hook up charges for sanitary sewer and water are$1,216.00 and $1,584.00,respectively per unit. STREETS/PARKING LOTS The City's public improvement project no. 97-1D will be constructing Coulter Boulevard west of Century Boulevard and terminate at a temporary cul-de-sac near the southwest corner of the site. Eventually, Coulter Boulevard will be extended (with a right-in- right-out only) to Trunk Highway 41 with the future upgrading of Trunk Highway 41. The timing for the improvements to Trunk Highway 41 has not been determined, therefore, Coulter Boulevard may remain a cul-de-sac for quite some time. Without the City's public improvement no. 97-1D, the site plan should be considered premature since there will be inadequate utility and street improvements to accommodate this development. Also,the final plat for Arboretum Business Park 2nd Addition has not been recorded yet. Approval of the final plat for Phase II is also contingent upon the City awarding the bid for project no. 97-1D. Bob Generous May 22, 1998 Page 3 The drive aisle widths throughout the project appear to be in conformance with city code. Staff is recommending industrial driveway aprons be constructed at all access points on to the city streets. Depending on timing, the City's public improvement project may incorporate the applicant's curb cut with the City's project. The City has a standard detail plate (No. 5207) which should be utilized at all access points. In conjunction with the City's street improvement project no. 97-1D, a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk is proposed along the south side of Coulter Boulevard. In an effort to promote pedestrian traffic, the applicant's site plan should be modified to incorporate a sidewalk system out to Coulter Boulevard at in a location to be determined by staff and applicant's engineer. EROSION CONTROL The plans propose erosion control measures such as rock construction entrances and protection for catch basins until the parking lot has been paved. Since the downstream adjacent properties are undeveloped or basically in agricultural use, there is relatively no need to provide silt fence around the perimeter of the site. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. All driveway access points shall be constructed in accordance with the City's industrial driveway detail plate no. 5207. 2. The applicant shall incorporate an earth berm in the northeast corner of the site adjacent to the truck loading dock area. The berming area shall be up to six feet in height with landscaping to help to break up the building mass. 3. The City's boulevards must be restored with sod. 4. Site plan approval is contingent upon the City authorizing and awarding of public improvement project no. 97-1D for Arboretum Business Park 2°d Addition and recording of the final plat for Arboretum Business Park 2°d Addition. 5. Detailed storm drainage calculations including drainage area maps for a 10- year, 24-hour storm event shall be submitted to the City Engineer for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit. 6. Connection to the City's utility system shall be prohibited until the city's utility lines have been tested and accepted by the City. The sanitary sewer and water lines and storm sewer on the site will be privately owned and maintained by the property owner and not the City. The contractor will be responsible for Bob Generous May 22, 1998 Page 4 obtaining the appropriate sewer, water, and plumbing permits from the City's building Department. Cross access easements for the utilities and driveways shall be dedicated over the lot. 7. The site plan shall be modified to incorporate sidewalks out to Coulter Boulevard at a location to be determined by the applicant and staff. jms c: Anita Benson, City Engineer \\cfsl\vol1eng\dave\pc\on the level.spr.doc ',$y -i NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PLANNING COMMISSION Wednesday, June 3, 1998 at 7:00 p.m. _ .. - : .ulevard City Hall Council Chambers 111 690 City Center Drive cf coulter e,„ SUBJECT: On The Level Site Plan a APPLICANT: Design 1 of Edina, Ltd.

The property is located in the southwest corner of Hwy. 169/212 and Hwy. 101. This area is zoned A-2 Agricultural Estate District and is guided for Parks, Open Space or Large Lot Residential. A golf course/driving ranges is an interim use in the A-2 District. The subject site is located next to the Minnesota River Wildlife Management Area (see Attachments D). The DNR and Fish and Wildlife Service have commented on the proposal. The Golf Improvement Center includes two driving ranges , a pitch and putt course a mini-putt course and a office/clubhouse shop. The driving ranges are 100 yards wide by 275 yards deep and 65 yards wide by 255 yards deep. The pitch and putt course comprises 9 holes. The hours of operation will be from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily. There will be 3-4 full time employees and ultimately have 75-100 customers a day. All but a portion of the parking and the existing home are in the Flood Plain. A portion of one of the driving ranges is in the wetland. A wetland alteration permit is being recommended for approval. The land south of Hwy. 169/212 is never proposed to have sewer. The majority of the property is in the flood plain and good planning practices are to avoid or minimize impacts of development in the area. The site is adjacent to Assumption Creek which is a unique water resource. Future land use designation in this area has been guided as low density or open space specifically to protect the surrounding environmental resources. Staff has struggled to review this development because the golf driving range use as currently described in the city code is a temporary use. It allowed on agricultural land until such time that the a higher or better use is permitted generally at the time when urban services are provided. The only other golf driving range/miniature gold in the city is Swings. It is smaller in scale, is limited to day time use and has no nets along the perimeter. This application is seeking an office/clubhouse, restaurant with sale of alcohol, a year round driving range with 60 foot high . nets and lights, a pitch and putt course all in an environmentally sensitive area. In order to approve the use, the applicant is seeking a variance and a code amendment. Staff believes that a golf use is a reasonable use of the property but wants to ensure that this use will be compatible with the surrounding area. This proposal is really more than a temporary use. It has the characteristic of a permanent commercial operation. The applicant has made modifications to the site plan in an attempt to address staffs concerns. Following are the applicable ordinances: • Section 20-31 Variances in conjunction with interim use permits • Section 20-41 - 20-20-45 Amendment to Zoning Ordinance • Section 20-110 Standard for site Plan Review • Section 20-232 Conditional Use Permit - General Issuance Standards • Section 20-265 Standards for Golf Driving Ranges. Golf Improvement Center April 29, 1998 Page 3 • Section 20-351 Conditional Use Permit for activity in the General Flood Plain. • Section 20-381-384 Interim Use Permits • Section 20-407 20-418 Wetland Alteration and Permitting. • Section 20-576 Interim Use in the A-2 District - Golf driving ranges with or without miniature golf courses. BACKGROUND The subject site is approximately 90 acres and the vast majority of the property is in the flood plain of the Minnesota River. This means the site is subject to periodic flooding. This area is defined by the FEMA map as a Zone A, which means the flood elevation has not been established (see Attachment A). The applicant must apply to FEMA for a map amendment the establish the elevation. There is a creek (Assumption Seminary Creek) on site and a large wetland located on the eastern portion of the site which is under the jurisdiction of the DNR. While the creek is not adjacent to the Golf Improvement Center,branches of the creek are found throughout the subject site. The city's wetland inventory shows this area as a natural wetland which requires a 75' principal structure setback and a 40 foot buffer strip. The subject site is one of the few parcels not included in the Minnesota River"Raquet" Wildlife Management Area (see Attachment D). The subject site is in the Bluff Creek Watershed Natural Resources Management primary zone. This entire property has been identified as an area whose development pattern needs to be sensitive to the watershed, including the wetland and the creek. The City Council has not adopted the Bluff Creek Overlay District but has approved the first reading. The management plan did an inventory of some of the natural resources in the area including vegetation and wildlife (see Attachment E). The site is a farmstead where a home and barn still remain on the property. A portion of the property has been farmed although the limits of the farming activity is limited to the water level. Last April (1997), the majority of the property was flooded when the Minnesota River flooded. The home on the site is proposed to be remodeled for an office/clubhouse and the barn is proposed to be removed to move the driving range out of the wetland. Both of these buildings need to meet building codes and the issues raised by the Building Official. Access to the site is via a new traffic signal at the intersection of Highway 101 and Hwy. 169/212. A drive access to the existing home was put in place by MnDOT during installation of the signal. Golf Improvement Center April 29, 1998 Page 4 WETLANDS Existing Conditions The proposed site is surrounded by natural wetlands and DNR protected wetlands 10-222w to the west and 10-221w to the east. These wetlands are part of larger wetland basin which surround the site from the all sides excluding the north(Hwy 212). These wetlands have been classified ag/urban by the City of Chanhassen due to previous agricultural activities,but are connected to flood plain basins along the Minnesota River which have important natural features such as calcareous fens, trout streams and wildlife habitat. The site itself is currently used for agricultural activities and it is difficult to determine if the crop rows are within the wetland boundary. The applicant has provided the City with a delineation report which was completed in March,which is not the ideal time to determine wetland boundaries. Staff has met with the applicant and a revised wetland delineation, conducted in May, has been submitted to the City and has been accepted by staff as a valid and accurate account of wetlands on the site. Wetland Impacts The proposed wetland impacts are 0.43 acres. While there is no filling of wetlands proposed,parts of the driving range and fences fall within wetland boundaries. Wetland impacts would be the disturbance of wetland caused by fence posts and by turf maintenance and ball retrieval within the wetland. The applicant has attempted to reduce the impacts by keeping the driving ranges north towards Hwy. 212, into the upland. Wetland mitigation The applicant has proposed a mitigation site of 0.86 acres, west of the summer driving range. This mitigation is proposed to be a seasonally flooded area and restored with native wetland plantings. In addition to meeting mitigation requirements, the applicant is also proposing to meet the City's wetland buffer requirements. The plan proposes a 20 foot wide wetland buffer across most of the site and 0 feet within the driving range area. This creates an area above the 10 foot wide average required on Ag\urban wetlands. GRADING, DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL The site, for the most part, has been employed in agricultural use in the past. There are areas of trees and vegetation which will be impacted by the grading. Minimal grading is proposed to develop the parking lot, golf tees and greens. A landscape earth berm approximately two feet high is proposed along Trunk Highway 212. The proposed grading activities include construction of berms, golf tees, greens,ponds and parking lot. Some of these activities are proposed within the flood plain which is typically flooded every other spring. The fill proposed within the flood plain to develop the golf greens and tees is proposed to be compensated on site by excavating equal volume from adjacent areas. The applicant needs to demonstrate on the Golf Improvement Center April29, 1998 Page 5 plans specifically where the compensation will occur and how much. Importing or exporting material for site development is not anticipated except for construction of the parking lot. The site generally sheet drains from the north to the south into the backwaters of the Minnesota River valley. Approximately 75% of the site is subject to annual flooding. Given the use, a high amount of chemical fertilizers may be used on the greens and driving tees. From water quality standpoint, all the runoff will eventually be directed into the Minnesota River valley/wetland. A sediment pond is proposed to pretreat most of the storm water runoff from the parking lot. The other ponds are proposed within the flood plain. These ponds are more of an aesthetic value and for compensating the filling within the flood plain. Detailed drainage and ponding calculations are required to verify the pond sizes in accordance with NURP standards. The outlet control structure proposed in the sediment basin for the parking lot runoff(baffle weir structure) will need to be replaced with an outlet control structure in accordance with the City's detail plate number 3109. Drainage calculations for the ditch along the east property line are also needed to verify the ditch design. Erosion control measures such as rock filter dikes, temporary rock construction entrance and silt fence are being employed throughout the site. The rock construction entrance needs to be relocated further south along the driveway where the bituminous ends. Additional silt fence needs to be shown adjacent to the berm and practice green No. 1 in the northwest corner of the site. Temporary and/or permanent erosion control measures should be incorporated such as wood fiber blankets and riprap to prevent erosion into the sediment pond in the northeast corner of the site. In conjunction with seasonal flooding the light poles, golf tees, greens, nets and ponds within the flood plain will be subject to damage or completely obliterated. The light pole foundations can be designed and constructed to withstand most floods. The question is raised how often will the site be impacted and how many times will it be rebuilt. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water service is not available to the site. According to the plans, the existing dwelling is on a septic system. The existing well on the site has not been identified on the plans and will need to be. The existing septic site should be evaluated to see if it is functioning properly. An alternative mound site will also need to be located and preserved prior to any construction activities commencing. STREETS Access to the site is from Trunk Highway 212 at a signalized intersection. Currently, there is a 24-foot wide bituminous driveway from Trunk Highway 212 servicing the existing dwelling. The plans propose a parking lot with future parking expansion capabilities. There are no landscape islands proposed to break up the sea of asphalt. Staff recommends adding some landscape islands. City Code 20-1118 typically requires establishments of this nature to have paved parking areas and drive aisles with concrete curb and gutter or bituminous curbs to direct runoff into a storm water drainage collection system. However, given the nature of the use, staff Golf Improvement Center April 29, 1998 Page 6 believes it would be appropriate to allow sheet drainage across the parking lot and only install curbing along the north side of the parking lot where appropriate to direct stormwater runoff into the pond. All of the storm water improvements will be private and not maintained by the City. Some assurances should be incorporated in the interim use permit requiring annual maintenance by the applicant. Should the maintenance not be performed, the City shall have the authority to hire out the work and bill the applicant. MISCELLANEOUS The site is bordered by a wildlife refuge. The proposed fencing along the driving range may adversely affect wildlife and waterfowl migration in the area. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, DNR and other agencies should be consulted regarding this use and it's impacts. SITE PLAN REVIEW The site plan review is limited to review of the office/clubhouse parking and permitted landscaping. The existing home is proposed to be remodeled and used for an office/clubhouse and the existing barn is proposed to be removed. The standards for golf ranges states that buildings shall not exceed 800 square feet and be painted an earth tone. The applicants are seeking a variance for the size of the office/clubhouse. There is not enough information on the building at this time to ensure compliance with this condition. The office/clubhouse will have hours of operation from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily. The house will remain as it is except to be upgraded to meet ADA requirements and a deck will be added. The applicants have shown two site plans. Plan#1 is 1,500 square feet. Staff believes that this is too large. Plan#2 is 986 square feet. This proposal still needs a variance because the maximum square foot for a building is 800 square feet. On interior of the office/clubhouse there will be an indoor putting green, a snack bar and a fireplace with tables. In the summer, there will be seating available on the deck. The standards for the district require that the building be earth tones. The staff is recommending the building be painted brown. Proposed parking is in two phases. The first phase will have parking for 56 cars in additional parking is needed there is room for 27 more stalls. There are no lights shown for the parking lot or on the building. All lighting must be submitted to the staff for review and approval. All lighting shall be downcast. Landscaping should be placed on the eastern side of the parking lot to screen the lot. The barns is now proposed to be torn down and any new maintenance building for the storage of equipment and chemical shall be located out of the flood plain. Building code requirements The occupancy classification of the existing building will be changed from an R-3 occupancy to a B or M occupancy. The building code requires a building be brought up to code when a change in its use occurs. Likely areas where code deficiencies may occur include, exiting,accessibility, access to other levels, and separations. Accessibility requirements may include site issues that should be addressed before site plans are finalized. Building issues can be resolved during the building code plan review process. Accessibility. The submitted plans do not indicate an accessible route from the parking lot to the accessible building entrance. Accessible parking is also shown incorrectly. An eight foot wide van Golf Improvement Center April 29, 1998 Page 7 access aisle and signage is required; two accessible parking stalls are required; accessible signage is required at the head of parking stalls and access aisles. Section 20-110, Standards for Site Plan Review, of the City Code states the Planning Commission and the City Council shall consider compliance with the following: 1. Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guidelines, 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 neighboring developed or developing area; 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; 5. Creations of a functional and harmonious design for structures and site feature,with special attention to the following; • an internal sense of order for the buildings and uses on the site and provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general community; • the amount and location of open space and landscaping; • material,textures, colors and details of construction as a expression of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with the adjacent and neighboring structures and uses and; • vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public streets,with of interior drives and access pints,general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking. 6. Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through the 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. 7. Within the HC districts, consistency with the purpose, intent and standards of the HC districts. Finding: The existing home should be remodeled consistent with Plan#2 for 986 square feet if the variance is granted to allow for the larger size otherwise the home shall be limited to the 800 square feet. The barn shall be torn down to allow for the driving range and any new maintenance building shall be located outside of the flood plain. The building shall be painted brown. A lighting plan shall be submitted to the city for approval. Outdoor music and lighting shall be minimal to protect the surrounding environment. SIGNAGE The applicant is proposing a 64' by 16' high sign. The ordinance only permits a monument sign 24 square feet in area and 5 feet high in the A-2 District. Anything larger requires a variance. Golf Improvement Center April29, 1998 Page 8 The sign appears to be in the Mn/DOT right-of-way and should be relocated. Signage shall be as per city code, Section 20, Article XXVI. LANDSCAPING Minimum canopy coverage requirements for the proposed development is 10% , or 2.07 acres. Existing canopy coverage for the site is 8.5%, or 1.76 acres. According to plans, the applicant is proposing to remove .62 acres of existing canopy coverage, leaving 1.14 acres. Since the remaining canopy coverage is less than the required 2.07 acres, a multiplier of 1.2 is used to calculate the required replacement plantings. The difference(2.07 acres - 1.14 acres) times 1.2 equals 48,787 S.F., or 1.12 acres. One replacement tree provides 1,089 of canopy coverage, therefore the applicant will be required to plant 45 trees within the proposed development. A buffer yard planting will be required along T.H. 212. According to city ordinance, buffer yard `B' will be required at a 30' standard. For every 100', one overstory tree, 2 understory trees, and 2 shrubs will be required. Frontage along T.H. 212 measures approximately 575 feet. Minimum required buffer yard planting totals are 6 overstory trees, 12 understory trees, and 12 shrubs. Applicant's landscape plan meets the minimum requirements for the bufferyard plantings. Parking lot landscaping requirements for the 18,000 square feet of parking area, not including the future expansion, include 1,440 square feet of landscape area, 1 island or peninsula for every 6,000 s.f. of parking area, and 6 overstory trees. General Flood Plain Section 20-351 of the City Codes states that a conditional use permit shall be issued by the city council in conformity the with provisions of this chapter prior to the erection, addition or alteration on any building, structure or land, prior to the change of a nonconforming use and prior to the placement of fill or excavation of materials within the flood plain. . 1.. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. 2. Will be consistent with the objective of the city's comprehensive plan and this chapter. 3. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained as to be compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area. 4. Will not be hazardous or disturbing t existing or planed neighboring uses. 5. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the person or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use. 6. Will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. Golf Improvement Center April 29, 1998 Page 9 7. Will not involve activities, processes, material equipment and conditions of operations that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise smoke, fumes, glare, odors rodents, or trash. 8. Will nor result in the destruction, loss or damage of solar access, natural, scenic of historic features of major significance. 9. Will be aesthetically compatible with the area. 10. Will not depreciate surrounding property values. 11. Will meet the standards prescribed for certain uses as provided in this article The applicant will be responsible for applying for and obtaining changes to the FEMA flood plain maps to reflect developed conditions. The applicant shall further define, graphically, the proposed flood plain boundary and provide justification for the changes. If the property is subject to regular flooding, staff may require the elimination of the driving range. Section 20-384 states that an interim use shall terminate on the happening: I. The date stated in the permit; 2. Upon violation of conditions under which the permit was issued; 3. Upon a change in the city's zoning regulations which renders the use nonconforming. Staff is recommending annual review of the site to ensure compliance with conditions. Standards for golf driving ranges with or without a miniature golf course: 1. The location of the driving range is limited to being adjacent to TH 5 and TH 212 and access must be from a collector or arterial witch leads to TH 5 or TH 212. 2. Hours of operations shall be from sunrise to sunset. 3. Provision of adequate parking areas and submission of landscaping plan in conformance with article VIII of the zoning ordinance(section 20-1124). 4. Building on the site may not exceed eight (800) square feet and shall be painted in earth tones. The applicant is requesting a variance to two of the standards of this section. The location of the operation is adjacent the TH 212. The landscaping plan is in conformance with the zoning ordinance. If the two variances are approved, the plan would be approved, otherwise the building square footage will have to be reduced and the hours of operation will be limited to sunrise and sunset. Code Amendment The applicants are requesting a office/clubhouse as a part of the golf improvement center. As currently defined in the city code, a golf driving range/miniature golf is a recreational use. The use does not allow for the clubhouse. The applicant's proposal calls for a retail store where golf related items can be purchased and a seating area where snacks and beer can be bought. Staff would support the pro shop retail portion of the request and the snack bar if the beverage is limited to soft drinks and no alcohol, and food is limited to prepackaged items. Golf Improvement Center April 29, 1998 Page 10 Staff would recommend the following amendment Section 20-265: S. A retail pro shop is permitted if no alcoholic beverages are sold and food is prepackaged. There is no commercial cooking appliance allowed. Retail sales is limited to golf related items and the pro shop. Variance The applicant is requesting two variances to Section 20-256, Standard for Golf Driving Ranges. The first request is for hours of operation and the other is for the area of the office/clubhouse. The hours of operation are from sunrise to sunset. The maximum square foot of the building site shall not exceed 800 square feet. The applicant is requesting a variance that would allow the driving range to be open year round. This means the area would have to have lights. The proposed building is 986 square feet. The proposed lighting system would be in operation approximately 3-4 hours per night. The applicants have stated the lighting would be downcast and shine toward the hitting area but to date there are no specifications to back this up. The proposed light standards are 40 and 50 feet high and are located on the perimeters of the driving range. The Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall not recommend and the City Council shall not grant a variance unless they find the following facts: a. That the literal enforcement of this chapter would cause an undue hardship. Undue hardship means that the property cannot be put to reasonable use because of its size, physical surroundings, shape or topography. Reasonable use includes a use made by a majority of comparable property within 500 feet of it. The intent of this provision is not to allow a proliferation of variances, but to recognize that there are pre-existing standards in this neighborhood. Variances that blend with these pre-existing standards without departing downward from them meet this criteria. Finding: The applicant has use of the property with the night time use. Because the house is existing and the deck appears a reasons use with the golf staff is recommending approve of the house to allow the 986 square feet. b. The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification. Finding: There is only one or two other golf operations in the city and neither of them have a night time use. Bluff Creek does have a pro shop/clubhouse. c. The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land. Golf Improvement Center April 29, 1998 Page 11 Finding: The hours of operations request of the night time use is based on the desire to derive more income from the property. Staff is supporting the office/clubhouse variance because of the pre-existing condition. d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship. Finding: The extension of hours is a self created hardship. The home is a pre-existing condition. e. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located. Finding: There is insufficient information on the impacts of the lights for the subject site and adjoining property. Again,the house is pre-existing. f. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. Finding: There is insufficient evidence on the impacts of the lights. The lights are part of the request for extended hours of operation. The house is pre-existing. Staff supports the variance for the office/clubhouse from 800 square feet to 986 square feet as shown on the site plan and sketch plan#2. Staff is recommending denial of the request for hours beyond sunrise to sunset. This is an environmental sensitive area. There is insufficient evidence to mitigate the impact of light standards 40 and 50 feet high. INTERIM USE PERMIT The purpose and intent of the Interim Use Permit is: 1. To allow a use for a brief period of time until a permanent location is obtained or while the permanent location is under construction, and 2. To allow a use that is presently acceptable but that with anticipated development will it be acceptable in the future. Section 20-382 of the city code states "an application for an IUP must include at a minimum a site plan that clearly illustrates the following: proposed land use,building and functions, circulation and parking areas,planting areas and treatment, sign locations and type, lighting, the relationship of the proposed project to neighboring uses, environment impacts and demand for municipal services." Golf Improvement Center April 29, 1998 Page 12 The planning commission shall recommend an interim use permit and the council shall issue interim permits only if it finds that such use at the proposed location: 1. Meets the standards of a conditional use permit set forth in section 20-232 of the City Code, which are: • Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. Finding: If the plans are modified to address staff's concerns, the standard can be met. • Will be consistent with the objective of the city's comprehensive plan and this chapter. Finding: The comprehensive plan designates this area as large lot residential or parks and open space. The property is zoned A-2. A golf course is an interim use in the A-2 District. Conditions can be attached to modify the impact. • Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained as to be compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area. Finding. By adding the nets and lights to an environmentally sensitive area will change the character of the area. Staff is recommending that additional study be done on wildlife migration and the impacts of the lights and the nets be considered to be lowered as proposed by Fish and Wildlife. Wildlife gates should be left in place in the nets as proposed by the applicant. • Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned neighboring uses. Finding: The chemicals to be applied should be consistent with the program submitted by the applicant. Storage of all maintenance equipment and chemicals shall be out of the flood plain. • Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the person or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use. Finding: The site does have access from State Hwy. 212. MnDOT is recommending that the driveway be widened. A permit from MnDOT is required. Golf Improvement Center April 29, 1998 Page 13 • Will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. Finding: The use of the site is limited by the flood plain and the wetlands. This use should not be expanded so additional public facilities should not be needed. • Will not involve activities,processes, material equipment and conditions of operations that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise smoke, fumes, glare, odors rodents, or trash. Finding: The primary use of the site is recreational use and outdoor music and speaker system is prohibited. • Will nor result in the destruction, loss or damage of solar access, natural, scenice of historic features of major significance. Finding: There is an old barn on the property but it is in poor condition and is in the flood plain. It is being removed to locate an additional driving range. • Will be aesthetically compatible with the area. Finding: The majority of this area is a wildlife refuge. As stated in the letter from the Fish and Wildlife Service dated May 13, 1998, "the Service considers the project area vicinity to contain extremely high-value natural resources, including lands owned and managed by two public natural resource agencies, high-quality wetlands and associated fish and wildlife habitat, the active flood plain of the Minnesota River(a high-priority conservation area), and high aesthetic qualities... The Service has concerns about siting the proposed facility in such an area with regards to potentially detrimental impacts to area wetlands." Staff is also concerned with the impacts of this use to the surrounding property. Fish and Wildlife is recommending the net for the driving range be 40 feet high and the applicant is proposing the height at 60 feet. The service is also recommending that the height of the fence be 4.5 foot above the ground. The applicant is proposing a wildlife gate. Light standards of 40 and 50 feet are proposed throughout the driving range area. (See Proposed Lighting Plan). The lights are necessary only if the applicant is given a variance for the extended hours of operation. • Will not depreciate surrounding property values. Finding: Same as previous finding. Golf Improvement Center April 29, 1998 Page 14 • Will meet the standards prescribed for certain uses as provided in this article. 1. Conforms to the zoning regulations 2. The use is allowed as an interim use in the zoning district 3. The date of the event that will eliminate the use and can be identified with certainty. 4. The use will not impose additional costs on the public to take the property in the future; and 5. The use agrees to any conditions that the city council deems appropriate for permission of the use. Finding Staff is recommending approval of the interim use with conditions. The request for additional hours is not recommended for approval by the staff. The applicants may request a variance at a later date if they have additional information that could mitigate the impact.

There are areas of trees and vegetation which will be impacted by the grading. Minimal grading is proposed to develop the parking lot, golf tees and greens. A landscape earth berm approximately two feet high is proposed along Trunk Highway 212. The proposed grading activities include construction of berms, golf tees, greens, ponds and parking lot. Some of these activities are proposed within the flood plain which is typically flooded every other spring. The fill proposed within the flood plain to develop the golf greens and tees is proposed to be compensated on site by excavating equal volume from adjacent areas. The applicant needs to demonstrate on the plans specifically where the compensation will occur and how much. Importing or exporting material for site development is not anticipated except for construction of the parking lot. The site generally sheet drains from the north to the south into the backwaters of the Minnesota River valley. Approximately 75% of the site is subject to annual flooding. Given the use, a high amount of chemical fertilizers may be used on the greens and driving tees. From water quality standpoint, all the runoff will eventually be directed into the Minnesota River valley/wetland. A sediment pond is proposed to pretreat most of the storm water runoff from the parking lot. The other ponds are proposed within the flood plain. These ponds are more of an aesthetic value and for compensating the filling within the flood plain. Detailed The City of Chanhassen.A growing community with clean lakes,quality schools,a charming downtown,thriving businesses,and beautiful parks.A great place to live,work,and play. Kate Aanenson RSS Golf Improvement Center Site Plan Review May 28, 1998 Page 2 drainage and ponding calculations are required to verify the pond sizes in accordance with NURP standards. The outlet control structure proposed in the sediment basin for the parking lot runoff(baffle weir structure) will need to be replaced with an outlet control structure in accordance with the City's detail plate number 3109. Drainage calculations for the ditch along the east property line are also needed to verify the ditch design. Erosion control measures such as rock filter dikes,temporary rock construction entrance and silt fence are being employed throughout the site. The rock construction entrance needs to be relocated further south along the driveway where the bituminous ends. Additional silt fence needs to be shown adjacent to the berm and practice green No. 1 in the northwest corner of the site. Temporary and/or permanent erosion control measures should be incorporated such as wood fiber blankets and riprap to prevent erosion into the sediment pond in the northeast corner of the site. In conjunction with seasonal flooding the light poles,golf tees, greens, nets and ponds within the flood plain will be subject to damage or completely obliterated. The light pole foundations can be designed and constructed to withstand most floods. The question is raised how often will the site be impacted and how many times will it be rebuilt. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water service is not available to the site. According to the plans, the existing dwelling is on a septic system. The existing well on the site has not been identified on the plans and will need to be. The existing septic site should be evaluated to see if it is functioning properly. An alternative mound site will also need to be located and preserved prior to any construction activities commencing. STREETS Access to the site is from Trunk Highway 212 at a signalized intersection. Currently there is a 24-foot wide bituminous driveway from Trunk Highway 212 servicing the existing dwelling. The plans propose a parking lot with future parking expansion capabilities. There are no landscape islands proposed to break up the sea of asphalt. Staff recommends adding some landscape islands. City Code 20-1118 typically requires establishments of this nature to have paved parking areas and drive aisles with concrete curb and gutter or bituminous curbs to direct runoff into a storm water drainage collection system. However, given the nature of the use, staff believes it would be appropriate to allow sheet drainage Kate Aanenson RSS Golf Improvement Center Site Plan Review May 28, 1998 Page 3 across the parking lot and only install curbing along the north side of the parking lot where appropriate to direct stormwater runoff into the pond. All of the storm water improvements will be private and not maintained by the City. Some assurances should be incorporated in the interim use permit requiring annual maintenance by the applicant. Should the maintenance not be performed, the City shall have the authority to hire out the work and bill the applicant. MISCELLANEOUS The site is bordered by a wildlife refuge. The proposed fencing along the driving range may adversely affect wildlife and waterfowl migration in the area. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, DNR and other agencies should be consulted regarding this use and it's impacts. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. All areas disturbed as a result of construction activities shall be immediately restored with seed and disc-mulched or wood-fiber blanket or sod within two weeks of completion of each activity in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. 2.

Kirchman,Building Official4\_cfk Phone 612.937.1900 General Fax 612.937.5739 DATE: April 28, 1998 Engineering Fax 612.937.9152 Public Safety Fax 612.934.2524 SUBJECT: 98-2 CUP and 98-8 SPR(RSS Golf Improvement Center,RSS/Perma Green, lt"eb wwuwichanhassel.nm.us Inc.) I was asked to review the site plan proposal stamped "CITY OF CHANHASSEN, APR 0 3 19 9 8, CHANHASSEN PLANNING DEPT." for the above referenced project. Background: The building designated as the office on the proposed plans is currently a dwelling.We have no records of the date it was constructed. A new Individual Sewage Treatment System(ISTS)was installed in 1995. It is a mound system designed for a three bedroom house. Analysis: ISTS sites. Chanhassen City Code, 18-40(2)g,requires two ISTS sites when property is subdivided. The intent is to have an alternate site for use in the event of the failure of the ISIS on the primary site. Although this property is not being subdivided,a change in use from residential to commercial is being proposed.It is important to have an alternate site for a number of reasons. 1. Estimating sewage flow for a dwelling is straightforward;estimates for commercial enterprises are more difficult.Failure of the ISTS due to overloading may render the existing ISTS site unusable. 2. Should the existing ISIS be too small,and alternate site may provide room for expansion. 3. Should the primary site be damaged during initial construction the alternate site will be available with minimal disruption. 4. Should the primary site be damaged later,a new ISIS can be installed with less disruption of the business. Sewage flow. As noted earlier,sewage flow determination for commercial establishments is a more difficult process than that for residences. The applicant should have a licensed site evaluator and designer submit system sizing requirements for the anticipated flows based on the requirements of Individual Sewage Treatment System Standards,Chapter 7080. The evaluation and design will be necessary before establishing final site plans in order to assure the availability of the area necessary for the I STS sites. Building code requirements The occupancy classification of the existing dwelling will be changed from an R-3 occupancy to a B or M occupancy. The building code requires a building be brought up to code when a change in its use occurs. Likely areas where code deficiencies may The City of Chanhassen.A growing community with clean lakes,quality schools,a charming downtown,thriving businesses,and beautiful parks.A great place to live,work,and play Kathryn Aanenson,Planning Director April 28, 1998 Page 2 occur include,exiting,accessibility,access to other levels,and separations. Accessibility requirements may include site issues that should be addressed before site plans are finalized. Building issues can be resolved during the building code plan review process. The existing barn is proposed to be used as a maintenance building. Although the occupancy classification will not change,the character of the occupancy is changing. The building was built as an agricultural building and was not subject to any code requirements. As a maintenance building it is subject to code requirements. The building is dilapidated and in danger of failing. The building should be evaluated by a structural engineer who should determine repairs necessary to bring the building as close to code compliance as is feasible. Accessibility. The submitted plans do not indicate an accessible route from the parking lot to the accessible building entrance. Accessible parking is also shown incorrectly- An eight foot wide van access aisle and signage is required;Two accessible parking stalls are required;Accessible signage is required at the head of parking stalls and access aisles. Recommendations: The following conditions should be added to the conditions of approval: 1. Submit the location of an alternate ISTS site from a licensed evaluator for review by Inspections Division staff. 2. Submit an analysis of sewage flow for the proposed facility from a licensed evaluator for review by Inspections Division staff. 3. Revise the plans to provide and accessible route and parking. 4. Arrange a meeting with the developers and designers with the Inspections Division plan reviewer as early as possible to discuss commercial building permit requirements. 5. Arrange for an evaluation of the existing barn by a structural engineer. The evaluation should include proposals for remediation if necessary. aT o E o 0 C7 0 v v „ Q0 m 2 o to r— (D Q. tv • CO > 60 o w m ( a —3 in T0 � ili a o ,., ,ori •—• i w -11 S: g � ° 00000, c-----,_ n j ' 1 -- ' 11 cp 4 , -4.,--../ ] 1 6\-)14 0 - cil q _ _ _ __ .

Aanenson City of Chanhassen 690 City Center Drive, P.O. Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 Re: Planning Case: 98-2 CUP and 98-8 Site Plan, RSS Golf Improvement Center, Assumption Creek and Public Water Wetland 10-221W, City of Chanhassen, Carver County Dear Ms. Aanenson: We have reviewed the site plans dated March 13, 1998 (received April 14, 1998) for the above- referenced proposal. Due to the location and nature of this proposal, I attempted to solicit input from staff of the DNR's Fish and Wildlife Division, and have incorporated some of their comments. However, this proposal did not go through a full Department review (i.e., as for an Environmental Assessment Worksheet). In general, the DNR has concerns about the potential impacts the proposed project could have on adjacent sensitive resources. Wayne Barstad, DNR Ecological Services, attended an on-site meeting with staff from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff and representatives of the applicant on 3/24/98, and gave some input verbally at that time. Following are specific comments: 1. A portion of the subject property appears to include Assumption Creek, which is officially designated by the DNR Commissioner as a trout stream. Although the site plan does not show alterations immediately adjacent to the trout stream, the DNR is very concerned about any activity which would adversely affect the quality(including temperature), quantity, direction, and timing of flow in the subwatershed that feeds Assumption Creek. 2. Public water wetland 10-221W is also on the property. An ordinary high water(OHW) has not been determined for 10-221W. As long as no grading or alteration is proposed within the wetland boundary for the Minnesota Wetlands Conservation Act of 1991, an OHW determination should not be necessary. However, if there is any question whether proposed activities propose alterations within the wetland, an OHW must be determined. For example, based on the on-site meeting that Wayne Barstad (DNR Ecological Services) attended on 3/24/98, we understand that about five acres of the wetland is proposed to be mowed for ball retrieval. Depending on the type of vegetation affected, an Aquatic Plant Management Permit may be required from the DNR Fisheries Section (Mike Halverson @ 772-7950) if the area of cutting is within DNR Wetland 10-221W.

Aanenson May 4, 1998 Page 2 3. Federal, state and local floodplain regulations need to be addressed in the floodplain of the Minnesota River. The plan does show the 100-year flood elevation, and most of the proposed grading is within the floodplain. No net change in the flood storage area within the floodplain is shown, however,the alterations within the floodway need to be analyzed to ensure the changes in the flood plain cross-section does not increase the flood stage upstream or downstream of the project area. 4. It appears that stormwater treatment is proposed on this site. However, the level of treatment is not indicated in the information we reviewed. As Mr. Barstad and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife representative noted at the 3/24/98 on-site meeting, we are very concerned that the runoff be treated to minimize the adverse impacts on Assumption Creek. 5. It is our understanding that the proposed nets and ball collection system are designed to be high enough off the ground so that deer can pass beneath them, if necessary. However, DNR staff have concerns about the impacts of the nets on birds. If you have not already received comments from DNR Non-Game Wildlife Manager Joan Galli, she should be contact for input at 297-2277. 6. This land is immediately adjacent to natural communities mapped by the Minnesota County Biological Survey, and is within the boundary of the proposed Assumption Creek and Seminary Fen Natural Area. This Natural Area includes some of the best quality calcareous fen and rare plant habitat in the metropolitan area, and its protection is considered a high priority by the DNR. The protection of the natural communities would best be accomplished by restoration of disturbed areas such as the land in question to native plant communities. Developments, including the proposed Golf Improvement Center, could have negative impacts on the natural communities, including pollution and exotic plant invasion. 7. An area adjacent to TH 212 is shown for future expansion. Any future additions or developments need to ensure that the plan allows adequate area for the individual sewage treatment system and stormwater treatment ponding that would be required for the project proposed. 8. The following comments are general and apply to all proposed developments: a. Appropriate erosion control measures should be taken during the construction period. The Minnesota Construction Site Erosion and Sediment Control Planning Handbook (Board of Water& Soil Resources and Association of Metropolitan and Soil and Water Conservation Districts) guidelines, or their equivalent, should be followed. b. If construction involves dewatering in excess of 10,000 gallons per day or 1 million gallons per year, a DNR appropriations permit is needed. You are advised that it typically takes approximately 60 days to process the permit application. This will NOT be a routine permit application when the site is near a calcareous fen. Ms. Kathryn A. Aanenson May 4, 1998 Page 3 c. Construction activities which disturb five acres of land, or more, are required to apply for a stormwater permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(Dan Sullivan @ 296-7219). d. Except as noted above, the comments in this letter address DNR - Division of Waters jurisdictional matters and concerns. These comments should not be construed as DNR support or lack thereof for a particular project.

Aanenson RECEIVE') Planning Director City of Chanhassen MAY 1 5 1998 P.O. Box 147 r fY OF Chanhassen,MN 55317 LNHASSEN Dear Ms. Aanenson: This responds to your April 13, 1998, memo requesting comments regarding Perma Green Inc.'s request for a conditional use permit from the City of Chanhassen for the proposed RSS Golf Improvement Center, to be located in the SE'/4 of Section 35, T116N, R23W, Carver County, Minnesota. The proposed facility would consist of a golf driving range, a pitch and putt practice course,putting greens, and support buildings and facilities. According to maps, site plan drawings, and other documentation attached to your memo, the majority of the 96-acre site is comprised of wetlands associated with the Minnesota River floodplain. The entire parcel, with the exception of the extreme northeast corner, is within the 100-year floodplain. The proposed buildings and parking areas are located in the upland area in the northeast corner of the parcel, for the most part above the 100-year flood limits. A maintenance building, the two driving ranges, and practically all of the pitching and putting areas are located within the 100-year flood limits. The project site is bounded on the east by property owned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and managed as part of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, and to the south by natural areas owned and managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR). The Service considers the project area vicinity to contain extremely high-value natural resources, including lands owned and managed by two public natural resource agencies, high-quality wetlands and associated fish and wildlife habitat, the active floodplain of the Minnesota River(a high-priority conservation area), and high aesthetic qualities. According to the MnDNR, Assumption Creek, a designated trout stream, flows through the western limits of the project site. Accordingly, the Service has concerns about siting the proposed facility in such an area with regards to potentially detrimental impacts to area wetlands. The Service notes that golf courses and, presumably, golf practice facilities that feature putting greens and managed fairways/approach areas, are traditionally subject to relatively high rates of fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticide application. Due to the proximity of this site to the natural resource features listed above, we believe extraordinary measures would be called for to prevent or minimize the introduction of fertilizers,herbicides and pesticides into the adjacent wetlands. Mr. Ben Wopat Page 2 The site drawings indicate two sediment ponds that would be constructed. Although the Service supports the incorporation of those ponds into the project design, such ponds are generally designed to only eliminate heavier sediments from surface runoff. Furthermore, due to the high water table expected to occur in the areas closest to the fringing wetlands, it is possible that excess fertilizer and other soluble contaminants will enter the soil water directly rather than be transported(and subsequently captured) in the proposed runoff control ponds. The southern one-third to one-half of the driving ranges are located in emergent wetlands. Although no grading or fill is proposed for those areas, there will presumably be regular mowing to facilitate recovery of golf balls, which will decrease the wildlife habitat value of that portion of the wetland. The Service recommends that the bottom edge of the proposed net fence be no closer than 4.5 feet to the ground to allow passage of deer and other terrestrial wildlife. The Service also has some concern about the possible impacts of the net fence to flying birds. We recommend that measures be taken to maximize visibility of the net, and its support poles and wires, to birds. Such measure would include marking isolated support wires, and other portions of the net structure, as needed, with bird flight diverters. We also recommend that the net extend no higher than 40 feet above the ground to minimize aesthetic impacts to the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge tract adjacent to the east side of the proposed facility. Thank you for the opportunity to review and provide our comments on this proposed project. If you have any questions regarding these comments,please contact the Mr. Loyd Mitchell of my staff at 612-725-3548, ext. 202, or the address above. Sincerely, 1/714.1Th. ht4)4.4. Lynn M.

We find the plan acceptable for further development with consideration of the following comments: • Storm water drainage from the proposed site does not appear to flow to TH 212 right of way. A Mn/DOT permit will be required if this condition changes or the development otherwise alters the pattern of runoff affecting TH 212. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, The Army Corps of Engineers, and The Lower Minnesota Watershed District should also review this plan. Questions about Mn/DOT's storm water drainage concerns may be directed to Brian Kelly of our Water Resources Section at 797-3151. • An approved permit is required for the access to TH 212. We will allow only one access to TH 212. No future access points will be allowed. We recommend that the proposed driveway be widened to allow easier operation of the existing signal. For information regarding widening of the driveway, contact Lars Impola of our Traffic Management Section at 797-3126. For information regarding the permit process, contact Bill Warden of our Permits Section at 582-1443. • The final plat must identify the edge of MN/DOT right of way. Any questions may be directed to Jeff Hoffstrom of our Surveys Section at 797-3108. • The site plan shows a sign near the access opening which is marked"Pylon Sign". This sign appears to be on Mn/DOT right of way. The sign must be relocated to a point where it does not encroach on MN/DOT right of way. An equal opportunity employer Kathryn Aanenson May 21, 1998 page two • Any use of or work within Mn/DOT right of way will require an approved Mn/DOT permit. The permit required depends upon the nature of the proposed work. Bill Warden of our Permits Section may be contacted, as noted above, for further information regarding the permit process.

City Engineer PUBLIC HEARING: CONTRACTOR PROPERTY DEVELOPERS COMPANY REQUEST FOR REZONING OF 16.4 ACRES FROM RR, RURAL RESIDENTIAL TO RSF, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY; PRELIMINARY PLAT OF 16.4 ACRES INTO 17 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS WITH VARIANCES. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF LAKE LUCY ROAD,JUST NORTH OF LAKE LUCY, LAKE LUCY ESTATES. Public Present: Name Address Greg Kopischke Westwood Professional Services Dan Sjordal Westwood Professional Services Betsy& Jack Randall 1571 Lake Lucy Road Al Weingart 1685 Steller Court Joe & Gayle Morin 1441 Lake Lucy Road Kathryn Fernholtz Westwood Professional Services Homer Tompkins CPDC Richard A. Loscheider 1607 Florida North, Golden Valley Bill Lambrecht 6990 Utica Lane Nancy Tichy 1471 Lake Lucy Road Bob Christensen 1511 Lake Lucy Road Sharmin Al-Jaff presented the staff report on this item. (Audio on the tape was poor quality for this portion of the meeting.) Homer Tompkins: My name is Homer Tompkins. I am President of the company called Contractor Property Developers Company. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Scherer Brothers Lumber Company. A family owned business, third generation... Our primary business function is to provide lumber material and services to...home builders. My division is in charge Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 of land development. We develop land on our own. We also do joint ventures. We would be developing in joint venture partner in this project is Nick Loscheider,who is...home builder. We've developed 14 residential subdivisions throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area. We have five more... Greg Kopischke: ...and tried to do our best to adjust grading. Work with retaining walls. Eliminate retaining walls. Add retaining walls if necessary. Adjust roads here and there so that we can minimize those impacts to the greatest extent, or even where necessary...so we tried to take a conservative approach in terms of...and if we could talk about utilities for just a second. As was mentioned...sanitary sewer comes from...in this vicinity...and routed down this way and extending it through to service the lot. We do know that the city engineer asked if we'd extend it to the property to the west where...storm water will be picked up within the street, routed down and routed through a pond, or storm water quality treatment storage...run through a few of the staff report items that probably need some addressing. The first item would be number 1 where the recommendation is to replace the 63 required trees... In talking with the city forester, in developing our reforestation plan, we proposed something a little bit different than this. Utilizing 2 1/2 inch trees. Certainly...want boulevards where you...visible perhaps the ponds and so forth but we're also looking at reforestation of the site in terms of working with some smaller trees and:..leave that open to work more closely with the forester and staff on that particular item so we do come up with something that's more appropriate for this particular site that we get the best reforestation management. Something that's going to have...long term appropriate for this site. We can certain, on item 2 we can certainly work with the staff on tree removal limits as appropriate. On item 3 it talked about berming and landscaping along the right-of-way of Lake Lucy Road and we're more than happy to do that but there are fairly minimal openings, if any, to do that without removing existing tree cover. So we'd like to, when it comes to final plan stage, work with staff on that particular item and we'll provide it where appropriate and without destroying the existing tree cover in those locations. Item 5(a) talks about creating plans for some of these custom lots and we can certainly do that but would prefer to do that with each individual building permit that comes in. ...how tight it may go in there so it may be a little bit difficult to pre-conceive a grading plan for some of those. I think there's a later item that talks about setting some elevations and identifying building sites, whether they're walkouts or tuck unders and so forth. We can tentatively set some of those on the custom home lots, but it might be a significant range of house types...anticipate custom homes. There could be any number of sites...little bit more open ended and work with staff on those particular...at that particular time. There was item 9 talked about dock access...riparian lots. Lot 6 in the southeast corner already has a dock and it would remain in that location...we'll have to work with staff on Lots 4 and 5. Some type of a plan to work with access there... What else do we have here? Actually that's all our concerns and comments. There was one comment from the engineer about including drain tile system behind the curb and gutters, along lots that are not adjacent to wetlands and storm ponds. Just looking for a clarification as to why. I'm not opposed to it if it's a city requirement but...a clarification on that particular item. Under item 26(c). Shorten and lower the cul-de-sac. Certainly we can look at what those particular impacts would be. Elevationally it might be a little bit easier to do the short...along with the shortening and increasing the radius to 60 feet, it may have a bigger impact on proposed Lot 7 right here in terms of that...so we think that's an item to work with staff a little bit more in detail on that. I think with that, oh one additional item. 2 Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 On the pond. This particular lot there was a note about minimum floor elevations relative to the flood levels. I think we have a little bit...in that this pond actually overflows to the wetland...there might be some type of slight deviation from the norm but I think it's one that's probably appropriate. With that I'd like to Katie Fernholtz to come up and just talk a bit about her investigation...with the city forester and how that... Joyce: Are there any questions for the applicant? Did you want to talk about, well I'll ask. About the builder, the developer. Who's the builder? Who's the developer?... Greg Kopischke: CPDC is the developer. Mr. Loscheider is the builder. Nick Loscheider: My name's Nick Loscheider from Loscheider Custom Homes and I became aware of this property and asked Homer Tompkins... Joyce: You're going to build all the homes? Nick Loscheider: Actually we're probably going to most likely pull in one other builder. Joyce: So you've got two builders. Yourself and one other builder. Nick Loscheider: Correct. Joyce: You have a question? Brooks: Yeah, I have another quick question. You said you might need a Corps permit. What would you need a Corps permit for? Greg Kopischke: I think that was a condition of the approval I believe. Is that correct? And I would say that's probably just a laundry list. Certainly we will... Brooks: What else do you need a Corps permit for? Usually it's the amount of runoff from the road. Hempel: To be perfectly honest, it is a boiler plate condition. Brooks: Yeah, okay. Greg Kopischke: I'm not seeing anything... Hempel: The City has a water quality requirement. This particular pond has to meet... phosphorous removal of 75% and their initial design...appears to meet that. We have not had formal quality numbers, calculations... We are comfortable with where the pond is proposed, on the east side of the cul-de-sac. Condition 21 I believe it is... Greg Kopischke:... 3 Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 Aanenson: ...we've had problems in the past where...domino effect. So we feel strongly that we need to have that in order to...the trees so we would not recommend you change that... Hempel: If I could just add to that as well. ...as part of the installation for sanitary sewer,there will be minimal...based on the sewer... Joyce: What about the situation... Aanenson: I think we'd like to work with the applicant and... And that's what we're saying... We have custom lots in this city that... Greg Kopischke: Right. We'll provide that... Katie Fernholtz from Westwood Professional Services, presented the woodland preservation plan to the Planning Commission. Joyce: Does anybody have any questions for Kate? Brooks: I have some for the staff about the trees. Do you guys know the Autumn Woods subdivision that's across from where I am. Just at the beginning of Chaska. Is that sort of the percent of the trees we're going to have left? I'm trying to visualize what it's going to look like. They did a pretty good job leaving most of the trees in there. If you drive through, that's pretty, I mean you still feel like you're in a forested area. Aanenson: Well just to be clear, we don't allow them to stick 63 trees in. They are required to do a woodland management plan so that's what we're working towards. What those 63 trees are and where they go is what they're trying to resolve with the staff. Brooks: I'm trying to get a visual idea of what this is going to look like and like what I'm saying is, even though it's just over the border in Chaska, that Autumn Woods, when I drive through it, those houses still look like they're in forested area and I'm trying to get a feeling if on this one, when you drive through it, are you still going to get the feeling that you're in a forested area. Or are we losing so much that we're just losing the whole feel of the property. Are you following me? Al-Jaff: You're losing 50% of what's out there. I mean you'll drive through and there will be an open swath in the middle,which is something that you'll find with most wooded parcels that are subdivided...in the middle to provide for access, for the street. Brooks: The homes themselves, are you still going to get the feel that you're in some woods? Aanenson: That's why we're saying we want the elevations of where the homes are going so you can custom grade those... but there will be tree loss. It's unavoidable in order to do something like this. 4 Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 Greg Kopischke: ...we're trying to do our due diligence. We want to keep the cost of tree removal down and maintain that value that people want... Brooks: Well I was just trying to make a comparison in a sense that when I drive through that subdivision, I still feel like I'm definitely in a wooded area. I mean they did a good job of making you feel like you're still in the woods and I'm trying to get, understand if I drive through your proposed subdivision, if I'm going to get the same feel or is the tree loss is so great that it's going to be lost. Greg Kopischke: That's what we're trying to maintain here is...due diligence in trying to figure out what it is that we have and how... Joyce: I did have one question regarding the trees. We're saying a minimum of 42% of the canopy will be lost but then there's a suggestion of the possibility for another 15%could be lost. Is that taking into account the 63 trees? If we lose more trees, do they. Al-Jaff: They have to replace more. And right now the 63 trees are. Joyce: That's for the 42% loss. About a tree per a thousand square feet... Al-Jaff: Yes. Joyce: Okay, thank you. All right. Can I get a motion to open this up for a public hearing. Sidney moved, Brooks seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened. Joyce: Public hearing on this issue. Anybody like to address the Planning Commission at this time, please step forward to state your name and address please. Jack Randall: I'm Jack Randall on Lake Lucy,just west of the property. I'm probably the most affected by what we're talking about here. There is a number of concerns I've got. Number one I want to say I think these people are quality people. They're doing a good job and we're not trying to stop the development of the property. We're just trying to shape it to where we think it's fits with the neighborhood. Lot size, number one, is probably a concern, and I think in the letter you have in front of you that they started out with 16.4 acres, but...take out the wetland and the roads and stuff like that, you're down to really .64 acres per lot. Half acre lots. That's pretty small in keeping with the rest of the neighborhood. I'm on 12 1/2 plus acres. The rest of my neighbors to the west of me are dealing with 2-3 acres a lot. Of land. And I think this doesn't quite fit the neighborhood. I'd rather see the larger lots to kind of blend more with what's happening around the area. Obviously it affects the value of my property, there's no question about that. And then from a canopy standpoint, yeah. They're talking about 64%but by the time you get down building the houses and having individual preferences and stuff like that, that canopy area is, I'm afraid is really going to shrink and I understand the forester's concept 5 Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 and ideas that the tree are old, diseased and stuff like that but you know we've got some 100 year old oaks in our property that are diseased but they're probably going to be...20-30 years. They'll out live me probably. So what's the definition of disease? What does that mean? If it's still there, it's still part of what's going on and I hate to see those beautiful old trees come down. Unnecessarily. You know if Mother Nature takes them out, that's fine. Then...the lot sizes, we're dealing with them pushing for this 10 foot side yard setback. Well, that's even pushing more trees out because you've got 20 foot between houses. There's no room for a tree to live there. It's not going to happen. So how are we going to, how are you going to replace that and how do you replace, that doesn't fit. And then more specifically on the farther, I want to say, the southern, southeastern most part of my lot, which is where we had thought they are supposedly... 10 foot side yard setback on the house they're building down there next to the lake. So they're going to, and what they're using for a buffer zone there is basically what's on my property are the trees and the shrubs and stuff, the undergrowth that's on my property. Well if they build something 10 feet away, that stuff's going to die because they're going to cut the woods out. I mean you've got to give me more room there. I don't think that's realistic in consideration of the area. I have some general concern, and I read the proposal that Sharmin that did, which I think is great, about the driveway. The stub that they're going to build to put in to service what might happen to my property. I'm not saying I have any...subdividing today or tomorrow. I don't know if 10 years or 20 years or 30 years from now what's going to happen, but I don't want to be restricted, and as it's kind of laid out, that if I would ever even divide off one lot, that I would have to use that side road and I don't want to do that. I want to be able to use my driveway for access for me or whomever. I want to have my options open. I have no idea what my plans are or what, if we were to develop that property, how it would look and so...coming out of this, a conclusion where...I don't know. I want to yeep my options open.... And finally, I understand you're going to run the utilities across, specifically the sewer. I have to say it's got to make more sense to do it on the lower end, otherwise you're going to have a bunch of houses down in the low side that's got to be pumped up... And I want, the concern I have is I built my house, and you may not realize it. We've only been there for a couple years and we took an old, 1900's farmhouse and kept it and built around it and created a nice spot there. And at the time I was forced to put in a whole new septic system and stuff like that and they promised that I would not have, if sewer came in the next day, I'm not going to be forced to hook up to it...sewer assessments. I want to make sure that that's not going to happen. And finally, I don't know if it's up to you or between us and the developer. I would like to have some sort of written documentation, easement for my driveway that I'm not going to be fighting with individual land owners in the future to use my driveway because that's, I can see that happening once somebody buys a house and says...driving through my back yard. Well yeah, I will. That's it for me. Thank you. Joyce: Yeah, I want to address a couple. I had 2 or 3 questions that...no, not for you... I thought you brought up a couple good points that I actually had a couple concerns on. The 20 foot side yard setback. The reasoning behind that is to save some of the trees, isn't it? Is that how I'm reading this? Al-Jaff: That's on Lot 6. 6 Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 Joyce: Okay. Yeah, Lot 4. Is there a 10 foot setback on Lot 4? Al-Jaff: Yes. Mr. Randall is referring to Lot 4. Joyce: And why are we doing that? Al-Jaff: Lot 4 has just meets ordinance requirements and the ordinance says 10 feet. Lot 6 has a 10 foot variance to save trees. Joyce: I got that now. I understand... My question, and I'm a little confused, is do we need a variance for that 10 foot setback? Al-Jaff: No. That's the ordinance. Joyce: That's standard? Al-Jaff: Yes. Joyce: Okay. Did I miss something in here about that easement situation Mr. Randall brought up? Was that in our packet? Aanenson: Are you talking about the access? Joyce: Yeah. Aanenson: Well we can address that and Dave may want to comment on that but we have to look at adjoining properties, how they'll subdivide. Whether it happens today or 20 years from now. Joyce: I understand that. - Aanenson: Right, so we were looking at what's the best way for that to be subdivided in the future and we're saying that it comes out...the topography is such that it makes sense to... The Council and the Planning Commission have chosen not to provide future access, then we've had problems later when we've ...I don't know if you want to comment more on that. Hempel: Sure. Mr. Randall's driveway currently goes through these back yards... We looked at Mr. Randall's property... We left the options open for utilities... Joyce: Okay. We'll continue with the open discussion here. Joe Morin: My name is Joe Morin. I live at 1441 Lake Lucy Road. I'm the landowner just to the east of the proposed development. I'd like to thank Sharmin and the staff for their diligence in addressing this issue and also the members of the Planning Commission for your service to the community. My major concern I think is the number of lots. I personally would like to see fewer 7 Planning Commission Meeting - May 20, 1998 lots on the pond area in an attempt to preserve some of the natural beauty of the area and minimize the tree loss. One of the I think good examples of a development over on Lotus Lake is the Frontier Development. I realize that that's, there are some differences between our topography but driving through there I think gives you, at least gives me an idea of what could be in our area and I think the developer could realize the economic value from this development with fewer lots and preserve more of the natural beauty of the area. One of the things that also concerns me is the location of the Walker Pond and the reason for my concern is the precedent that was set with the Willow Ridge development to the east of our property. The Lundgren home development just to the east of Pointe Lake Lucy. There we had, I think it was Barr Engineering coming in front of the Planning Commission and the City Council assuring us that the Walker Pond would in fact retain the water but what we have seen, what the residents have seen in Greenwood Shores is that the Walker pond and the natural ponds all flow together and the resulting storm sewer drainage goes directly into the lake, polluting the lake. And I'm very concerned about it being on the west side for that reason, and also for the fact that there is at least one significant oak tree in that area that could be saved by moving it to the other side of the street. Now on the other side of the street there may be a problem with natural springs, because I don't want to dump storm water into a natural spring and we've located one of those springs. I don't think it would be in the area. Eric Rivkin knows where the other one is so we can locate that one also. I think also that it would kind of improve the aesthetic beauty of the area to have the Walker pond on the other side of the street. So you'd have the pond. You'd have the cul-de- sac with a nice you know vegetated area in the center. Then you'd have the natural pond in the lake. I think it's a much, it would look a lot nicer too. The other thing is with the Walker pond on the other side of the lake, we have the insurance of if it did overflow, then the vegetation in the area would absorb the nutrients before the water would reach the lake and I think that would, I think that's a good insurance to have. Now I'm working with Mr. Tompkins on some of the details. I think that he had mentioned that we have not yet come to an agreement on the sewer easement. He's working on some issues with me but you know, that needs to be resolved. Also, once I see a plan here that I can support, I don't see any reason why I would not grant that easement but I think we're pretty far from that right now. At least we're a little bit far. When he met with the neighborhood he talked about the deed restrictions on the properties on the lake and also the one that has potential for subdivision and I like that idea of the deed restrictions and with that I think we might be moving in the right direction so I think what I'd like the Planning Commission to do is think about maybe a conservation easement...since the private restrictions are not, seem to be not the way to go. I think that you're moving in the right direction. We certainly made some progress from the initial plan that was presented, I don't know a couple years ago where there were 23 lots. This plan that's being presented before you now is not a whole lot different. There are some improvements but it's not a whole lot different from the one that was rejected by, or not rejected but almost rejected by the City Council. And although we are making movement in the right direction, I don't think we're quite there. I don't think we're quite ready yet to present a plan to the City Council. It's my hope that myself and Mr. Randall and Mr. Weingart, the Tichy's and the other neighbors could come to the City Council with a plan that you've approved. That we all endorse. That returns a good economic value to the developer and I think we can get there but I don't think we're there yet. Thank you. Joyce: Anyone else like to address the Planning Commission at this time? 8 Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 Al Weingart: My name's Al Weingart. I live on 1685 Steller Court and my self interest in this is also that I own that island, that 10 acre parcel just outside, off of the, across the lake from where the development is proposed. And I've got to say that I would like these guys to develop this property. I like Dick and Homer and they've got their tree people as organized as I've ever seen anybody, particularly relative to the prior experience we had a couple years ago. None of you, Ladd Conrad I think was the only one on the Planning Commission at that time that went through that brutal sort of affair but this was, this is a property that's been quite controversial. The points of course we all sort of tried to allocate what we were going to chat about here and frankly Joe and Jack stole my show a little bit but there's a couple of things, and I certainly endorse the lot size and the number of lots on the property. We would like to see that more consistent with the surrounding development and the surrounding parcel sizes. My acreage on my homestead is 6 acres. Jack's got 12. Joe's got, I don't know, 5 or 6 there. 7 or 8, something like that. And so we'd like to keep it somewhat consistent. We realize of course that Pointe Lake Lucy, next door to it is on a smaller scale. That is a much more open landscape kind of design. Not nearly as undulating with the land. It's much more flat and frankly, you know if we had to do that over again, I'm sure the neighbors would be a bit more concerned about how that particular parcel was developed, particularly the Greenwood Shores folks who got you know that parcel was relatively scraped clean. So we are a bit sensitive to how this is being developed. We are not opposed to the development of it. A couple of things. The impact on Lake Lucy, that particular bay out between the development and the island in there where the Randall's house sits. Very sensitive. Very shallow bay subject to a lot of growth and any kind of runoff that goes into there, I think you saw in the letter that was presented to you. You may not have had a chance to read it but I'm really concerned about some big bloom of algae and weeds coming in there and restricting any of the fishing and anything else that goes on in that bay. So that is a very big concern and I think the Walker pond issue, which people have talked about tonight, has to really be nailed pretty well to know that that's going to be filtered before it hits that particular part of the lake. The subdivision of Lot, further subdivision of Lot 6. We talked about a deed restriction. Now Kathryn you indicated that that doesn't work. I would think that the way we proposed it in our memo today, was that if we would put a deed restriction in there, and Homer and I have talked about this on the site the other day. We thought that putting a deed restriction on that particular lot whereby, we didn't go this far over but whereby we would need the consent of all of the land owners, deed holders in that subdivision as well as the ones that are on either side of it, to consent to that deed restriction removal, that that would work. And I know from a, talk to real estate attorney, he said that they've done that before. Putting that kind of deed restriction in there but it was requiring the consent of the parties who are impacted by any kind of further subdivision of that parcel. Aanenson: The City would not be a party to the homeowners association covenants. We wouldn't do that so if you were to put a restriction on there, anybody that would buy that lot would have the right to come back and ask... Al Weingart: They do. They would but they'd have to get the consent of all of the land. Aanenson: But what I'm telling you is the City. 9 Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 Al Weingart: The City would be part of that. Aanenson: The City would not become part of the homeowners, as a rule. We would generally are not party of a homeowners. Al Weingart: Right. Could you make a recommendation to that effect? With respect to putting that kind of deed restriction on the property like that? Joyce: Kate, is there a possibility of doing a conservation at all? Aanenson: Right, I think what you could do, but again you take the risk that someone's going to come back and...ask them to vacate it. It happens all the time. Al Weingart: No, I understand that you can't enforce that. I'm just saying could the Planning Commission or the Council make a recommendation, non-binding, to suggest to the developer that that kind of deed restriction be placed on that particular lot? Aanenson: Sure. I mean it's our preference that they leave it one large lot. What I'm saying is that someone can sit on that lot for a year or two and ask... Al Weingart: Correct, but private parties can make that kind of arrangement relative to having approval of other. Aanenson: You could put it in your homeowners without...the City and how you guys enforce it, the majority of the property owners... Al Weingart: Okay. I just wanted to, yeah okay. And the same thing with respect to the docks on Lots 4 and 5. A similar kind of, you know again Homer we talked about that a little bit about restricting the agility for those homeowners to have docks and I'm not necessarily opposed to them having docks. It's just that the impact for those particular parcels having to go through 100 to 150 feet of wetlands to get out there may be almost economically unviable in and of itself and so I'm just curious whether that could be considered as well. That's all I have. Appreciate it. Thank you. Joyce: Okay, would anybody else like to address the Planning Commission? Seeing none, could I have a motion to close the public hearing? Brooks moved, Sidney seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Joyce: Thank you very much. We'll bring this back to the Planning Commission. Allyson Brooks. Your comments and thoughts. Brooks: Well, I guess my biggest concern is the tree cover but I don't think there's much we can do. It sounds like everybody's gotten together and is trying their best to resolve the issue and see 10 Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 that in the end we end up with a nice looking landscape. Other than that I don't have too many concerns. It's mostly with the trees. They were talking about in another development where the storm water pond didn't work. Is the engineering firm liable for that? Hempel: I believe back when the Willow Ridge subdivision came in, the storm water requirements weren't as stringent as they are today. I don't believe they...Walker or NURP ponds at that time...sediment trap where the storm water went into a low depression and overflowed into the wetland. I can certainly check on that. Brooks: I guess I don't have any more comments. Although I would like to see a conservation easement on that one lot. The Lot 6 and even though it may be unenforceable, I think we ought to try it. Aanenson: Sure. That'd be one way of... Blackowiak: I have a few comments. I'll just sort of run down the staff recommendations. First of all regarding the trees. Another concern right here that that large percentage is going to be taken out. I believe that we should follow the ordinance and plant the particular trees as required by ordinance. And if more have to be added, then definitely follow whatever the ordinance says. As I was sitting up here I did have a thought when I was listening to Katie Fernholtz. She was talking about varying sizes. Could we take a total caliper inch figure. So in other words, we've got 63 trees at 2.5 inches...and I don't know if that's good or bad. So we've got roughly 168 caliper inches. We could say we would like a minimum of 40 trees or 50 trees or whatever it is with a total caliper inch not to be less than 168. Something like that. Maybe there is a formula that can be used or something that can be worked out to get a little more of a variety that people seem to be talking about, but yet still follow the intent of the ordinance and get the inches of trees. That would mean they'd have some smaller trees which may be more appropriate in certain areas, but yet the trade off would be that we would get some larger, maybe 4 or 5 inch caliper trees going into different areas. Now I don't know if that's ever been tried before but it just made me think about it when I was sitting here so that would be, at least something I hope we can maybe look at... I would certainly hope so...warranted if they didn't. I mean if they buy them, there's certain warranties so anyway. That was one of my thoughts. Going through to...2 to 3 I think, follow what the staff has said. Number 5. 5(a), I feel strongly we need to have the preliminary grading plan and information before we go ahead. I would be very concerned about setting a standard and then all of a sudden finding that the...grading was 4 feet too low and therefore the house is going to be way too low or something's going to happen that we don't want to happen so I think we need to cover that condition...before we start anything. Going up to number 18. Talking about permits. I would like to add...but I would suggest maybe that we add a line saying, no work shall commence until all appropriate permits are obtained...copies of the DNR permits and so I don't know if they're still applicable. I don't know if they have to be repermitted because a certain amount of time has lapsed. I'm not certain about that but I want to make sure that everything's in place before we start grading and cutting down trees so that we don't two months down the road find out that something didn't happen and we've got a bunch of lots that should have been graded...moving forward so I would hope that we could do that. The water quality pond, I defer to engineering. I really don't know a lot about it. And then Lot 6, 11 Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 Block 2. The conservation easement. That was in my notes, although I didn't know...but I think that's a great idea. I think...has the property already been sold? ...because I was going to say because that could be a stipulation in the contract...conservation easement remaining in force for 6 years, 7 years, whatever. I mean that's the type of a thing that gets written in all the time so I don't know about the deed restriction but...conservation easement is perfectly...I don't think we need to keep subdividing any more. And then to the neighbors comments. I too would like larger lots, like Mr. Randall. I hope the tree canopy issue can be resolved. I don't know about the potential streets, I don't know what to say about that one. I think that if they're going to do a grading plan, I think if there's going to be lots sold, that the street has to be provided. You know whether or not...location, I don't know but maybe some further thought is needed... And overall I think it's a good proposal. I hope that we can just be very sensitive to the impact from the runoff and the impact of the trees and we really have to move carefully on this. I think everybody, it's in everybody's best interest to do a good job on...I certainly hope that you can...something that everybody's happy with. And I'll be quiet. Joyce: Okay, thank you very much. Matt. Burton: Well I agree with just about everything Alison said, or both Alison's said on this is a sensitive site and I'm glad they're going to be reducing lots to 17... I liked Alison's idea of the caliper inch...decide how to do it. The lot size I feel...about your lot sizes but I do think also that the proposal complies with the zoning ordinance. I'm not sure there's a lot we can do...lot sizes in the development. I like the idea of the conservation easement...but I don't think we can do anything more than just in terms of... And if the dock, I think the staff made a good recommendation. I like to see the one dock... I guess that's all I have. Sidney: Appreciate staff's efforts on this application. Also the applicant's diligence in working with a forester and preparing a forest management plan. I'm very impressed with that. A few comments and I think I agree with most the comments that my fellow planning commissioners have made. I do appreciate the neighbors keeping before the planning commissioners. I do think you have some very good comments and suggestions for staff and the applicant. I think Sharmin when she started off said that there are...points here that the development is consistent with the comprehensive plan and that it meets all ordinance requirements and in that respect, we're saying that this development probably should go forward to Council. And that restricts our ability to really change the number of lots and...lot sizes so with that,just a few additional comments. I would like to see an attempt made for a conservation easement, like the other commissioners have stated. Also I'd like to see the applicant and staff work to address some of the issues that Mr. Randall has for the southwest corner of the property. There would be something we could do there. And I do like the idea of having more flexibility in the reforestation and the tree replacement plan and I'd like to see the applicant work with staff to develop a tree replacement, reforestation plan that...conditions for approval. And also if there would be a possibility of changing the location of the watershed pond. Just as another look see to see if something could be done. I do agree with staff that I would like to see 5(a) remain as is. I think that's very important for the overall layout of the development to be well understood by everyone before they start building. So those are my comments. 12 Planning Commission Meeting - May 20, 1998 Joyce: Okay. My comments kind of echo all the other planning commissioners. I would like to say I think everybody involved put a lot of work into this. You've done a good job. A lot of effort and a lot of thought's been put into this. I think the neighbors are very well organized. Very nice presentation. Definitely suggest you continue this onto City Council. They'll listen to you and take to heart some of the things you said. I think what it all boils down to is whether it could be developed or not. Very simple...talked about lot sizes and stuff and Dave said, you're building roads and putting utilities in, you're going to lose trees. So it's either a decision of do you develop or not develop. I think these folks have presented it can be developed and they're on the right track as far as being considerate of what's there. Like LuAnn said, we have a comprehensive plan. They're following the comprehensive plan as far as lot sizes so I don't think lot sizes are as big an issue as we're making it. I, the one concern I have in the back of my head is the storm water situation and I'm just going to go on record, I hope...they can come up with the right concept on the storm water. Whether it's on the east side or west side, I just don't feel comfortable commenting on it. I don't know a lot about it but it's a concern. Definitely a concern...and things like that. Otherwise, the conservation easement, good idea. Let's put that in a conditions, whatever and let's see what happens. Otherwise I think we can make sense out of this development...so those are my points. So what we need here is a motion to send it to City Council. Blackowiak: Okay, I'll do it. I'll make the motion that the Planning Commission recommends approval of rezoning 16.40 acres of property zoned RR, Rural Residential to RSF, Residential Single Family(95-1 REZ); Preliminary plat(95-3 SUB)to subdivide 16.40 Acres into 17 single family lots, with variances (a 20 foot front yard setback for Lots 7 and 10, Block 2, and Lot 3, Block 3, a 10 percent street grade and a 50 foot wide right-of-way, five homes accessing via a private street, and a 10 foot side yard setback for the west side of Lot 6, Block 2), Lake Lucy Estates, as shown in plans dated April 24, 1998, with the following conditions. 1 through 33 with condition 18, adding the line, no work shall commence until all appropriate permits are obtained. And condition 34. The Planning Commission suggests conservation easement on Lot 6, Block 2 to prevent further subdivision. And changes to condition 21 and 26 as per the memo from Dave Hempel. I hope I don't have to read that all. And I think I'd like to add a condition 35. That there would be a cross access easement agreement prepared for the use of the private driveway including the Randall parcel... I think I got...would anybody like to add something? Aanenson: You're just throwing...use their driveway? Blackowiak: Correct. I'd just like to... Aanenson: I'm not sure if it's a city matter or a matter between two property owners but we understand what you're saying. Audience:... Joyce: You're on the record on that. Unless. 13 Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 Aanenson: What we're saying is that it may be a civil matter. We'll review it and point it out to the City Council. Audience: ...tree sizes? Brooks: I thought we stated the applicant shall plant 63 trees or develop an appropriate reforestation plan with the city. Blackowiak: I'd like to keep 1 written as is and just direct the staff and applicant to possibly review other options to present to Council. But I like this. I mean at minimum we need to keep this in. Should the Council ask them...you know, something else can happen, that's great and I think that that might be a possibility but at a minimum I want this condition 1 to stay as is. Joyce: Could I have a second? Brooks: Second. Joyce: Is there any discussion? Blackovviak moved, Brooks seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of rezoning 16.40 acres of property zoned RR, Rural Residential to RSF, Residential Single Family (95-1 REZ); Preliminary plat(95-3 SUB) to subdivide 16.40 Acres into 17 single family lots,with variances (a 20 foot front yard setback for Lots 7 and 10, Block 2, and Lot 3, Block 3, a 10 percent street grade and a 50 foot wide right-of-way, Five homes accessing via a private street, and a 10 foot side yard setback for the west side of Lot 6, Block 2), Lake Lucy Estates, as shown in plans dated April 24, 1998,with the following conditions: 1.

PUBLIC HEARING: EDEN TRACE CORP. REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR A 15,000 SQ. FT. OFFICE/WAREHOUSE/MANUFACTURING BUILDING ON PROPERTY ZONED PUD AND LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF LAKE DRIVE WEST AND AUDUBON ROAD ON LOT 1, BLOCK 1, CHANHASSEN BUSINESS CENTER 4TH ADDITION, QUANTUM CONTROLS INC. Sharmin Al-Jaff presented the staff report on this item. Joyce: Thank you Sharmin. Are there any questions for staff at this time? Blackowiak: I had a question. Sharmin, on page 5, the compliance table. Al-Jaff: Yes. Blackowiak: It talks about no variance is required, yet the south building setback is at 10 feet and the PUD ordinance is 25 feet. Would that require a variance or is that 10 feet? Al-Jaff: It is 10 feet. It is an interior lot line so that was a mistake. Aanenson: No variance is required. It's an interior lot line. An exterior lot line is 25 feet. Blackowiak: Okay, so interior is...okay, good. Just making sure. That's it, thanks. Joyce: Thank you. Anyone else have questions? Is the applicant here and like to address the Planning Commission? Please come forward. Mark Understad: Mark Understad with Eden Trace... Not a lot to say. Joyce: What you see is what you get huh? Mark Understad: Yeah, and hopefully we've got it right again here so. 19 Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 Joyce: Any questions for the applicant at this time? Sidney: A question about the drive in doors. What's the purpose of that and would semi's be pulling up there or what are they used for? Mark Understad: No. The loading dock is going to be tucked back in here. The primary use for them... Sidney: Is that like garage doors then or something like that? Mark Understad: Yeah. Overheads. And the thought... Joyce: There are three docks...? Would anyone like to address the Planning Commission on this item? Seeing none, could I have a motion to close the public hearing? Brooks moved, Burton seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Joyce: LuAnn? Sidney: Looks great again. No other questions. I'm glad to have an applicant that comes in consistently with the right number of trees and... Joyce: Matt. Burton: I agree...staff recommendations are appropriate and... Joyce: Alison. Blackowiak: I agree. Looks fine. Brooks: Fine. Looks fine. Joyce: Yeah, you did a nice job with the loading docks... You have it down now...so all we need is a motion. Sidney: I make the motion that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan 98- 9 for Eden Trace Corp-Quantum Control as shown on the plans dated April 24, 1998 and subject to the following conditions, 1 through 19.

THIS PROJECT WAS APPROVED IN 1995 AS OLIVEWOOD. Public Present: Name Address Bill Coffman 7409 West 112 Street Arnold& Anne Weimerskirch 2831 Sandpiper Trail, Excelsior Bob & June Bauer 2700 Sandpiper Trail, Excelsior Thomas J. Schoenecker 2820 Sandpiper Trail Ken Adolf Schoell & Madson Mike Steadman 5016 Highland Road, Minnetonka Kate Aanenson presented the staff report on this item. Joyce: Any questions? Brooks: Yes, I do. These are about 5 acre parcels, large lots? Aanenson: No. Actually the upland portion is a little less. They're averaging around a half acre. A large portion of it is wetland. The back of these lots will be natural wetlands towards the lake. The ordinary high water line... Brooks: I guess what I'm going for is, are the people that buy these lots going to be able to subdivide them? Aanenson: No. No, if you look at the home placement on...There's not enough square footage... 23 Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 Sidney: ...in the clean water act section. It says staff believes the impacts to the wetland can be avoided by adjusting the lot lines. Aanenson: That was one, that last sentence should be, starting right there, that should be struck. That's no longer a requirement. Sidney: Okay. Joyce: Would the applicant like to address the Planning Commission, please come forward. Ken Adolf: Mr. Chair and commissioners. Good evening. I'm Ken Adolf with Schoell and Madson. We're engineer consultants for the owners. Also here are Anne and Arnold Weimerskirch. The owners of the property. They live in one of the houses. The other house is occupied by Anne's mother, Olive Neumann. Bill Coffman, with Coffman Development who is the project or the development manager and actually the applicant is here, and Bill's associate Mike Steadman. As far as, I'd just like to emphasize again that this is essentially the same project that was approved by the city four years ago. The owners are comfortable with the conditions in the staff report. On the woodland management plan, they have retained Kevin Norby to work with the city staff in developing a wetland management plan for this site. With that we'd be happy to address any questions. Brooks: There's homes on the property now? Aanenson: There's two homes. Both homes will...the previous plan those homes were to stay. Now they'll both be new. Brooks: What year were those homes built? Audience: I believe '35... Brooks: ...we don't need a Corps permit for this project? Ken Adolf: No. The wetland alteration is 812 square feet which is less than the minimum that's allowed by the Wetland Conservation Act so no mitigation is required. Brooks: No federal permits at all, okay. Joyce: Anybody else have questions? Thank you very much. May I have a motion to open this for a public hearing please. Blackowiak moved, Sidney seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened. 24 Planning Commission Meeting- May 20, 1998 Joyce: Thank you. This is item is open for public hearing.

Burton moved, Sidney seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Aanenson: I did receive some calls from neighbors on the lake. I just want to make this part of the record that were concerned about the boats in this area. Again we explained that each could have a dock and we felt this was the best way to handle it... Blackowiak: What was their reaction... Aanenson: Just adding additional boats. They have concerns from people that live on the lake and they're concerned that this is a very shallow area and the impact to that... Brooks: ...multiple docks? Aanenson: Yeah. Obviously our first choice is not to have additional...but I don't think based on the way that's set up, you have to get out of that bay area before you can go... Blackowiak: I don't have a lot to say really. The fact that it was approved several years ago makes me feel a little bit more comfortable with going ahead...doesn't appear to be any significant changes from the original approval so... Brooks: I'm fine with it as long as, you know they can't subdivide. I think there's too many people buying large lots thinking they're going to subdivide and that ruins the whole point. But with that said, it actually... Sidney: ...somewhat concerned with the other subdivision, tree preservation... I'd like to see the applicant and the staff to... Joyce: I don't have much more to add...so we have four motions... Burton: I move that the City Council. Aanenson: Oh sorry.
