PROPOSAL SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting approval for General Concept and preliminary PUD Development Plan
to rezone 6.39 acres from A-2, Agricultural Estate District to PUD-R, Planned Unit Development-
Residential, Preliminary plat approval to subdivide 6.39 acres into 7 single family lots and 2 outlots,
and vacation of a portion of a utility and drainage easement located on Lot 9, Block 1, Stone Creek
6th Addition.
The average lot size is 35,948 square feet with a resulting gross density of 1.09 units per acre. The
site is located east of Galpin Boulevard, just north of Stone Creek Addition and west of Stone
Creek Park. The site contains clusters of wooded areas, as well as open spaces, and a terrain that
generally slopes down to the north. It contains a single family home and a detached accessory
structure. Bluff Creek runs approximately 200± feet north of the subject site. Access to the
subdivision will be provided via a cul-de-sac connecting the subdivision with Galpin Boulevard.
In reviewing this application, staff worked with the applicant and offered some suggestions to
minimize the impact on the natural features of the site. It was explained that the most effective
way of developing the site would be to cluster the homes along the western portion of the site
and preserve the eastern portion. The resulting plan provides the least impact to the site. With
all the natural features, meandering terrain, and close proximity to Bluff Creek, the site is an
excellent candidate for a Planned Unit Development. The intent of a PUD is to develop flexible
zoning while creating a higher standard of development. Part of the PUD process is to establish
development standards by which the development will be required to adhere to. This PUD will be
governed by the final development plan.
The proposal consists of a general concept and preliminary development plan for rezoning from A-
2 to PUD (the PUD ordinance states that if appropriate because of the limited scale of the proposal,
the concept stage and preliminary plan stages may proceed simultaneously). The overall
preliminary PUD appears to be in order and well designed. The intended use of the site is to
provide building sites for single family homes. The development is consistent with all plans and
ordinances; it preserves natural conditions to the greatest extent feasible, creates a suitable
balance between the amount and arrangement of open space, and provides safe and adequate
access and internal circulation.
In reviewing this plat, staff also had to look at access to the property to the north. While the
property owner (Mr. Schmidt) is not ready to develop or subdivide at this time, we need to ensure
that the parcel is not landlocked. Currently, the subject site and the property to the north share a
private driveway. With the Lynmore subdivision, the existing house will gain access via Bridal
Creek Court. If and when Mr. Schmidt decides to subdivide his property, access should be gained
through the Lynmore subdivision. Staff is recommending this access be in the form of a private
driveway running along the easterly lot line of Outlot B. Through rough sketches and field surveys,
Lynmore Subdivision
August 5, 1998
Page 3
we believe that Mr. Schmidt could potentially get 3 additional lots. The private driveway ordinance
allows a maximum of 4 lots to be served via a private driveway and this parcel meets the criteria for
private driveways. Should Mr. Schmidt demonstrate that he could gain 4 additional lots, then staff
would strongly recommend a variance be granted to allow 5 homes to be served via a private
driveway. Outlot B could still be replatted into a buildable lot and the exiting driveway serving Mr.
Schmidt's home would be eliminated.
The subdivisions request is straight forward. The PUD Ordinance allow a minimum lot size of
11,000 square feet with an average lot size of 15,000 square feet for the entire PUD. All parcels
exceed the minimum area requirements with an average lot size of 20,951 square feet excluding the
area of Outlots A and B. The PUD allows for a reduced front yard setback if environmental
protection is enhanced. In this case, the reduced setback will allow for protection of vegetation
within rear yards and minimize grading.
The westerly 95 feet of the site is actually part of Lot 9, Block 1, Stone Creek 9th Addition. The
applicant has combined that part of Lot 9 with the subject site, which is the logical thing to do.
There is an existing drainage and utility easement that runs along the exterior lot lines of Lot 9. The
applicant is requesting to vacate the easements portion that are part of the current subdivision and
- dedicate new easements that run along the interior lot lines of Lot 1, Block 1, Lynmore Addition.
Staff is recommending approval of the vacation.
Staff believes the proposal, combined with conditions proposed by staff, will be effective in
providing enhanced environmental sensitivity beyond normal ordinance requirements. In return the
developer gains reduced lot sizes, flexibility in development standards such as setbacks, street
width,and reduced development improvement costs. Staff finds the proposed PUD,plat and utility
and drainage easement vacation be acceptable and is recommending approval of the general
concept and preliminary stage of the PUD plan, preliminary plat, and vacation subject to proposed
conditions.
There is a second site located to the west of the subject property (American Legion Site) that has
the potential of being developed. The site has a BN zoning classification which is the same as the
subject site. These two sites are envisioned to share a driveway off of Lake Drive East. Staff is of
the opinion that the uses on these two properties should be compatible and serve the surrounding
residential neighborhoods.

REZONING
Justification for Rezoning to PUD
The applicant is requesting to rezone 6.39 acres from A-2, Agricultural Estate District to PUD-R,
Planned Unit Development-Residential. The following review constitutes an evaluation of the
PUD request. The review criteria is taken from the intent section of the PUD Ordinance.
Section 20-501. Intent
Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of
most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater variety
of uses, internal transfer of density, construction phasing and a potential for lower development
costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the city has the expectation that the development
plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been
the case with the other, more standard zoning districts. It will be the applicant's responsibility to
demonstrate that the City's expectations are to be realized as evaluated against the following
criteria:
Planned unit developments are to encourage the following:
1. Preservation of desirable site characteristics and open space and protection of sensitive
environmental features, including steep slopes, mature trees, creeks, wetlands, lakes and
scenic views.
Finding. The majority of the site will remain intact since the applicant will be clustering the
development along the western portion of the property.
2. More efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities through mixing of
land uses and assembly and development of land in larger parcels.
Finding. The site is surrounded by environmentally sensitive features. Clustering the
homes to the west and leaving the easterly portion undisturbed will result in an efficient and
effective use of land and open space. The applicant has offered to dedicate the westerly half
of the property(Outlot A)to the City to be combined with Stone Creek Park.
3. High quality design and design compatibility with surrounding land uses, including both
existing and planned. Site planning, landscaping and building architecture should reflect
higher quality design than is found elsewhere in the community.
Lynmore Subdivision
August 5, 1998
Page 5
Finding. The proposed development is compatible with surrounded uses. Through the
incorporation of the recommendations contained in this report, staff believes that the
project will reflect higher quality design.
4. Sensitive development in transitional areas located between different land uses and along
significant corridors within the city will be encouraged.
Finding. The proposed design is compatible with surrounding area and reflects a sensitive
development. The dedication of Outlot A as a park will leave this area undisturbed
providing a buffer as well as a transition area between surrounding properties.
5. Development which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Finding. The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for Residential Low Density and the
development is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan also
highly encourages the preservation of environmentally sensitive features such as wooded
areas, steep slopes and waterways. This plan provides preservation of all these features.
6. Parks and open space. The creation of public open space may be required by the city. Such
park and open space shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Park Plan and overall trail
plan.
Finding. The applicant is preserving the Bluff Creek corridor. A trail is proposed between
Lots 3 and 4 to provide a connection to Outlot A, which the applicant intends to dedicate to
the City as park land. On July 28, 1998, the Park Commission reviewed this application
and recommended that Outlot A be combined with Stone Creek Park, however, there were
concerns over the trail between Lots 3 and 4. The grades between those two lots are steep
and a bridge will need to be constructed over a natural drainage way which will bisect the
proposed trail. The Park Commission recommended not to construct the trail due to the
steep grades and the ongoing maintenance.
7. Provision of housing affordable to all income groups if appropriate with the PUD.
Finding. Not applicable to this proposal.
8. Energy conservation through the use of more efficient building designs and sightings and
the clustering of buildings and land uses.
Finding. The proposed mix of housing types provides energy conservation through the
efficiencies related to site development.
r '
Lynmore Subdivision
August 5, 1998
Page 6
9. Use of traffic management and design techniques to reduce the potential for traffic conflicts.
Improvements to area roads and intersections may be required as appropriate.
Finding. Access to this site will be from Galpin Road. There is a private drive that is
currently being shared by the subject site and the property to the north. Eventually this
driveway will be eliminated when the property to the north develops.
Summary of Rezoning to PUD
Rezoning the property to PUD provides the applicant with flexibility, but allows the city to
request additional improvements and the site's unique features can be better protected. The
flexibility in standards allows the disturbed areas to be further removed from the unique features
of the site. In return for the flexibility, the city is receiving:
• Development that is consistent with Comprehensive Plan
• Preservation of desirable site characteristics (trees, waterways, topographical
features)
• Sensitive development in transitional areas
• More efficient use of land
• High quality project design
PRELIMINARY STAGE PUD PLAN APPROVAL
Development Standards
The applicant is requesting approval for General Concept and preliminary PUD Development Plan
to rezone 6.39 acres from A-2, Agricultural Estate District to PUD-R, Planned Unit Development-
Residential. The purpose of this request is to subdivide 6.39 acres into 7 single family lots and 2
outlots.
The density of the proposed subdivision is 1.09 units per acre gross. All the lots exceed the
minimum 11,000 square feet of area and an average lot size of 15,000 square feet, with an average
lot size of 20,951 square feet. The average lot size is 35,948 square feet when the area of Outlots A
and B are added to the equation. The site is located east of Galpin Boulevard,just north of Stone
Creek Addition and west of Stone Creek Park. The site contains clusters of wooded areas, as well
as open spaces, and a terrain that generally slopes down to the north. It contains a single family
home and a detached accessory structure. Bluff Creek runs approximately 200 ± feet north of the
subject site. Access to the subdivision will be provided via a cul-de-sac connecting the subdivision
with Galpin Boulevard.
Lynmore Subdivision
August 5, 1998
Page 7
All of the proposed lots meet the minimum width, and depth requirements of the PUD Ordinance.
There are two outlots shown on the plat. Outlot A will remain undisturbed and will be dedicated as
park land and combined with Stone Creek Park. Outlot B is reserved for future development. The
property to the north owns a portion of this outlot and unless they are combined, the parcel can not
be developed. Staff is recommending the easterly 30 feet of Outlot B be dedicated for a private
driveway purposes, to provide access to the property to the north. This issue will be discussed in
more detail under"STREETS"later in the report.
The PUD ordinance requires all structures to maintain a 30 foot front and rear yard setback and a 10
foot side yard setback. The ordinance also states that The thirty foot front yard setback may be
waived by the city council when it is demonstrated that environmental protection will be enhanced.
In these instances, a minimum front yard setback of twenty (20)feet shall be maintained. Staff
encouraged the applicant to use the 20 foot front yard setback to maximize the buildable area of the
lots. The dedication of Outlot A as park land is a demonstration that environmental protection is
being provided. This Outlot is located within the primary zone of Bluff Creek and it will provide
protection of the creek. This is a compromise that benefits both the developer and the City.
There is an existing detached structure located on proposed lot 6. This structure will create a non-
conforming situation since the ordinance does not allow accessory structures without the
construction of a primary structure. Therefore, the detached accessory structure must be removed
prior to recording of the plat.
Staff notes that the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and generally consistent
with the Zoning Ordinance.
WETLANDS
There are no wetlands on site.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN(SWMP)
Storm Water Quality Fees
The SWMP has established a water quality connection charge for each new subdivision based on
land use. Dedication shall be equal to the cost of land and pond volume needed for treatment of the
phosphorus load leaving the site. The requirement for cash in lieu of land and pond construction
shall be based upon a schedule in accordance with the prescribed land use zoning. Values are
calculated using market values of land in the City of Chanhassen plus a value of$2.50 per cubic
yard for excavation of the pond. The City has had discussions with the applicant's engineer on the
water quality ponding. The proposed SWMP water quality charge of$800/acre, (or $3,400 for the
4.25 acres) for single-family residential developments may be waived if the applicant provides
r
Lynmore Subdivision
August 5, 1998
Page 8
water quality treatment according to the City's SWMP standards. To date this development plan
has no on site treatment pond.
Storm Water Quantity Fees
The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average
city-wide rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land acquisition,
proposed SWMP culverts, open channels and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage. Single
family residential developments will have a connection charge of$1,980 per developable acre. The
total gross area of the property is 4.25 acres. Therefore, the proposed development would then be
responsible for 4.25 acres resulting in a water quantity connection charge of$8,415. This fee will
be due payable to the City at time of final plat recording.
GRADING
Approximately half the site is proposed to be graded to prepare the house pads and street
subgrade. Outlot A is to remain as an open area and possibly acquired by the City as parkland.
Utility extension from the north along Galpin Boulevard will also require grading a 30-foot wide
pathway along Galpin Boulevard through Outlot B.
The quantity of earthwork is unknown at this time; however, the applicant should be advised if
exporting or importing of material is necessary,a detailed haul route and traffic control plan will
be required prior to site grading commencing. In addition, if material is being exported or
imported from another Chanhassen site, that property will also be required to obtain the
necessary earthwork permits in accordance with City ordinance.
The grading plan proposes house pads with first floor elevations. However,the plan does not
designate the type of dwelling proposed, i.e. rambler,walkout, lookout, etc. Staff also needs to
have the garage floor and lowest floor elevation designated on the final grading plans.
The existing home utilizes a well and septic system. The well and septic system is not located on
the grading plan and therefore it is difficult to determine whether the site grading will impact
either of the utilities. The well and septic site needs to be preserved on the site until municipal
City sewer and water have been extended along Bridle Creek Court and tested and accepted by
the City.
DRAINAGE
The majority of the site sheet drains north, east and south. The proposed grading will maintain
the pre-developed drainage pattern in the area for the most part. The drainage area to the south
and east of the property will be reduced. The plans propose to drain the street and front yard
areas of the lots back to Galpin Boulevard where existing storm sewer is in place. Staff is
Lynmore Subdivision
August 5, 1998
Page 9
concerned that the existing storm drain system in Galpin Boulevard may not be sized to
accommodate the additional runoff proposed from Bridle Creek Court. The applicant will have
to analyze the existing capacity of the Galpin Boulevard storm drain system. In addition, the
downstream water quality pond which pre-treats Galpin Boulevard runoff was not designed to
accommodate runoff from this subdivision. This issue may have to be revisited by staff and the
applicant to look for an on-site storm water treatment pond prior to final plat approval. A
possible location of a storm water quality pond would be on Lots 3 or 4 in the existing ravine
area. There is an existing drainage swale that drains the southerly half of the property along the
common property line of Stone Creek Development and this proposal. The surface water drains
along the property line into the existing ravine through Lots 3 and 4. The proposed house pad on
Lot 3 could experience wet areas on both sides of the house due to drainage through the area.
These drainage constraints should be considered and resolved in conjunction with the design of
the home for Lot 3.
The plans will have to incorporate a drain tile system behind the curbs to address household
sump pump discharge for those lots not adjacent to a storm water pond or wetland. Drain tile is
also beneficial in absorbing subgrade moisture from the street.
UTILITIES
Municipal utility service is indirectly available to the site. Water service is available along
Galpin Boulevard; however, sanitary sewer is located approximately 750 feet north of the site
near Lukewood Drive. Extension of sanitary sewer will be very difficult given the terrain and
vegetation. In addition, the applicant may need to obtain permanent and temporary easements
from the adjacent property owner(Schmidt) to extend the utilities to service this development.
The utility easement should be a minimum of 20 feet wide or wider depending on depth of the
sewer. Should the applicant not obtain the necessary easements from the Schmidts, the
subdivision in question shall be considered premature since sanitary sewer would not then be
available to service the development. The utility improvements proposed to service the site shall
be constructed in accordance with City standards. Upon completion of the utility improvements,
the utilities will be turned over the City for maintenance and ownership. Detailed utility and
street construction plans and specifications in accordance with the City's latest edition of
Standard Specifications and Detail Plates will be required in conjunction with final plat
consideration. Construction drawings will need to be submitted to staff at least three weeks prior
to final plat consideration. The construction plans and specifications for the project will be
subject to staff review and City Council approval. The developer will be required to enter into a
PUD Agreement/Development Contract with the City and provide the necessary financial
security to guarantee conditions of approval. The financial security shall be in the form of a
letter of credit or cash escrow. The existing house on Lot 5 will be required to hook up to the
new sewer and water lines within 12 months after the utilities have been accepted by the City
unless the existing septic or well is damaged or is no longer functional due to construction of the
Lynmore Subdivision
August 5, 1998
Page 10
site improvements. The property will also be subject to deferred assessments as a result of the
City's Upper BluffCreek Trunk Improvement Project No. 91-17B. The parcel was previously
assessed for only one trunk unit. Upon final platting of the property, six additional trunk unit
charges shall be assessed against the property or collected at time of building permit issuance.
The 1998 trunk sewer utility hook-up charge is $1,216 per unit. The parcel will also be subject
to trunk watermain hook-up charges (6 units)at$1,584. Should Outlot B become buildable in
the future, this parcel will also be subject to sewer and water hook-up charges.
STREETS
Access to the development is proposed from Galpin Boulevard/County Road 19. This road is
classified in the City's Comprehensive Plan as a collector street. The minimum right-of-way
width of Galpin Boulevard shall be 100 feet wide. The preliminary plat indicates 50 feet of right-
of-way exists adjacent to this development; however, the City, through a previous project,
acquired a trail and utility easement for the extension of the utilities and existing trail along the
parcel. Staff does not believe that additional right-of-way was purchased in the easement
acquisition process. Staff will be reviewing this and may result in the applicant dedicating a total
of 27 feet of right-of-way along Galpin Boulevard. The preliminary plat at this time indicates the
proper right-of-way dedication; however, the actual right-of-way dedication needs to be further
verified by staff. Additional right-of-way taking would not affect the lot sizes in the preliminary
plat submittal.
The preliminary plat proposes a 60-foot wide right-of-way with a 60-foot radius for the cul-de-
sac in accordance with City Code. However, the street alignment for the cul-de-sac is too severe
to accommodate emergency vehicles and therefore needs to be revised. Staff has looked into
modifying the applicant's plat to accommodate turning of emergency vehicles (see attached).
Staffs layout also resolves the 20-foot requested setback by the applicant. However, staff's
proposal incorporates a 50-foot wide right-of-way and eliminates Outlot B from being built on in
the future. Staffs layout does provide for larger lots and eliminates the setback issue.
The site is currently accessed through a shared driveway off of Galpin Boulevard with the
Schmidt property to the north. As a result of platting the property a public street will be extended
to service the existing home as well as 6 additional lots with the potential future subdivision of
Outlot B as well. Staff is concerned about future street access to the Schmidt parcel. Given the
location of the existing driveway,the additional turning movements and sight lines to the
Schmidt property is not desirable. Staff looked at the possibility of a future private driveway
through Outlot B to service future subdivision of the Schmidt parcel. The Carver County Public
Works Department has the jurisdiction to approve additional access points or modify existing
access points along Galpin Boulevard. Staff believes that the Schmidt parcel should access
Bridle Creek Court through Outlot B with a private driveway in the future. Staff also believes
the Schmidt parcel does not have the capability to subdivide into more than four single-family
Lynmore Subdivision
August 5, 1998
Page 11
lots based on current ordinances and topographic features. Outlot B as currently proposed is not
a buildable lot. There is a parcel of land that is owned by the Schmidt's that is needed to be
acquired to develop Outlot B into a buildable parcel. Staff recommends that a 30-foot wide strip
of land be deeded or easement dedicated to the City over Outlot B for future access (private
driveway)to the Schmidt parcel to serve up four residential homes. The exact location of this
easement can be modified through negotiations with staff and the applicant. Staffs layout has
addressed the approximate location for the private driveway which is 55 feet east of the
intersection of Galpin Boulevard and Bridle Creek Court. This should provide sufficient distance
from the intersection for vehicles accessing the Schmidt parcel. This also increase the lot sizes
within the development and shortens the cul-de-sac length. Staffs plan also reduces the right-of-
way to 50 feet wide to compensate for loss of Outlot B. Bridle Creek Court is proposed to be
constructed to City urban street standards within a 60-foot wide right-of-way. Detailed street
construction plans and specifications will be required prior to final plat consideration. The
public street shall be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard
Specifications and Detail Plates. There are city-owned street lights along Galpin Boulevard that
may be impacted with the street connection. This must be verified and street lights relocated in
accordance with City standards. A street light will also be required at the end of the cul-de-sac.
The developer shall also coordinate with the appropriate utility companies for the installation of
small utilities, i.e. NSP, Minnesota Valley Electric, Minnegasco,Triax Cable and U.S. West.
Access to the existing house on Lot 5 must be maintained during construction from both a public
safety standpoint and a resident standpoint. Once the public street(Bridle Creek Court)has been
constructed, the existing home will be required to change their address to Bridle Creek Court and
eliminate the existing access through the private driveway.
EROSION CONTROL
Erosion control fence is proposed along the grading limits on Lots 3,4, 6 and 7. Erosion control
fence needs to be extended along Lot 5 and tree protection fencing around the trees to be
preserved on the site. Tree protection fencing shall be incorporated onto the grading, drainage
and erosion control plan.
PARK AND TRAIL
On July 28, 1998,the Park and Recreation Commission reviewed this application. They
recommended that Outlot A be reserved through park dedication and that fee title to Outlot A be
granted to the city in exchange for full park fee credit. In requiring these conditions of approval,
it would be the City's intent to preserve Outlot A.
Lynmore Subdivision

Page 12
LANDSCAPING
Tree canopy coverage and preservation calculations for the Lynmore development are as follows:
Total upland area (including outlots) 278,348 SF or 6.39 ac.
Total canopy area 130,680 SF or 3.0 ac.
Baseline canopy coverage 47%
Minimum canopy coverage allowed 35% or 97,422 SF
Proposed tree removal 34,848 SF or 0.8 ac.
Proposed tree preservation 34% or 95,832 SF
Development does not meet minimum canopy coverage allowed, therefore, the difference is
multiplied by 1.2 to calculate the required replacement plantings.
Difference in canopy coverage 1,590 SF
Multiplier 1.2
Total replacement 1,908 SF
Total number of trees to be planted 2 trees
The applicant is proposing to transplant 15 trees ranging in size from 3-9 inches in diameter. The
variety of trees include 7 ash, 6 maple, 1 apple and 1 spruce. These trees should be counted as
replacement plantings provided they are guaranteed for at least one year.
Buffer yard plantings will be required along the approximately 400' of frontage of Galpin
Boulevard. Assuming a 25' buffer yard, minimum requirements include 4 over story trees, 8
under story trees and 16 shrubs. Due to grading needs, a substantial existing buffer along Galpin
Blvd. will be removed on lot 1. Staff recommends applicant consider preserving some of the
trees at the rear of lot 1 to provide a more substantial buffer from the road.
BUILDING DEPARTMENT ISSUES
Dwelling Types. The type of dwelling proposed for each lot is necessary to enable the Inspections
Division and Engineering Department to perform a satisfactory plan review of the structure at the
time of building permit issuance. For the same reason, proposed lowest level floor elevation, entry
floor elevation (not top of block) and garage floor elevation is required to be indicated on the
proposed pad location. Standard designations (FLO or RLO, R, SE, SEWO, TU, WO) must be
shown for proposed dwelling types. These standard designations lessen the chance for errors during
the plan review process. The memo explaining these designations is enclosed.
Demolition Permits. Existing structures on the property which will be demolished will require a
demolition permit. Proof of well abandonment must be furnished to the City and a permit for septic
Lynmore Subdivision
August 5, 1998
Page 13
system abandonment must be obtained and the septic system abandoned prior to issuance of a
demolition permit. A house moving permit is required if a structure is to be moved to another
location within the City. House moving permits must be approved by the City Council. A road use
permit is required to move a structure over City roads.
Subdivision Findings:
1. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning ordinance;
Finding: The subdivision meets all the requirements of the city code subject to the
conditions of the staff report.
2. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable city, county and regional plans
including but not limited to the city's comprehensive plan;

o;e Addition (98-1 P::C and 9.,--� �,.,
Carver County has the following comments and questions regarding the Lynmore Addition
Preliminary Plat transmitted to Carver County by your memorandum dated July 9, 1998. These
comments and questions are based on the information submitted. Further comments and concerns
may develop as this proposal advances.
1 Galpin Boulevard (CSAH 19) was recently reconstructed as an urban roadway with curb and
gutter. Any curb cuts and access construction would be the responsibility of the developer.
It is expected the entrance design will be similar to the entrance at Bridal Creek Trail.
2. Has a plan been developed to consider the future access of the parcel to the north of this
plat? The desire of the County is to limit the number of accesses to CSAH 19 to as few as
needed. Has a lot layout concept been considered that would allow future access to the
parcel to the north?
3. Any public utility lines that are to be installed within the CSAH 19 right-of-way are subject
to the utility permit requirements of Carver County.
4. Any proposed grading and installation of drainage strictures within the right-of-way of CSAH
19 is subject to review and approval of the County Highway Department. The existing storm
sewer system, though it is in the County Road, is a City utility. Has it been determined that
the main system has adequate capacity to handle the run off from the cul-de-sac without
causing runoff problems onto CSAH 19?
5. Development activities (including the installation of both public and private utilities needed
to serve the development site) that result in any disturbance of the county highway right-of-
way (including tree removal, trench settlements, erosion, and sediment deposits) need to
be completed in a manner that leaves the right-of-way in "as good or better condition" than
what existed prior to construction. It is requested that the city include a provision in the
developer's agreement that requires the developer to be ultimately responsible for the final
condition of the county highway right-of-way. A clear understanding of this responsibility will
result in fewer project oversight problems for both the county and the city.
7 The County must approve any trees or landscaping completed within the right-of-way. When

locating shrubs and trees, consideration should be given to maintaining an acceptable sight
distance at the CSAH 19 intersection. Any trees or shrubs overhanging into the right-of-way
could be subject to trimming for safety or overhead utility consideration.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the preliminary plat for the proposed development.

CHANHASSEN,RECEIVED, JUN 22 1998,CHANHASSEN PLANNING DEPT." for the above
referenced project.
Analysis:
Dwelling Types.The type of dwelling proposed for each lot is necessary to enable the Inspections
Division and Engineering Department to perform a satisfactory plan review of the structure at the
time of building permit issuance.For the same reason,proposed lowest level floor elevation,entry
floor elevation (not top of block) and garage floor elevation is required to be indicated on the
proposed pad location. Standard designations(FLO or RLO, R, SE, SEWO, TU, WO) must be
shown for proposed dwelling types. These standard designations lessen the chance for errors
during the plan review process. The memo explaining these designations is enclosed.
Demolition Permits.Existing structures on the property which will be demolished will require a
demolition permit. Proof of well abandonment must be furnished to the City and a permit for
septic system abandonment must be obtained and the septic system abandoned prior to issuance
of a demolition permit. A house moving permit is required if a structure is to be moved to another
location within the City. House moving permits must be approved by the City Council. A road
use permit is required to move a structure over City roads.
Recommendations:
The following conditions should be added to the conditions of approval.
1. Revise the preliminary grading & utility plan to show the proposed dwelling pads with
standard designations and indicate the lowest level floor, entry level floor and garage floor
elevations. This should be done prior to final plat approval.
2. Obtain demolition, moving and/or road use permits for existing buildings to be relocated.
This should be done prior to any grading on the property.

Public Safer.; firy 612 9.3-x.5 2-i Upon review of the construction drawings prepared by TEC Design dated June 21,
1998, I offer the following comments and recommendations.
GRADING
Approximately half the site is proposed to be graded to prepare the house pads and
street subgrade. Outlot A is to remain as an open area and possibly acquired by
the City as parkland. Utility extension from the north along Galpin Boulevard will
also require grading a 30-foot wide pathway along Galpin Boulevard through
Outlot B.
The quantity of earthwork is unknown at this time; however, the applicant should
be advised if exporting or importing of material is necessary, a detailed haul route
and traffic control plan will be required prior to site grading commencing. In
addition, if material is being exported or imported from another Chanhassen site,
that property will also be required to obtain the necessary earthwork permits in
accordance with City ordinance.
The grading plan proposes house pads with first floor elevations. However, the
plan does not designate the type of dwelling proposed, i.e. rambler, walkout,
lookout, etc. Staff also needs to have the garage floor and lowest floor elevation
designated on the final grading plans.
The existing home utilizes a well and septic system. The well and septic system is
not located on the grading plan and therefore it is difficult to determine whether
the site grading will impact either of the utilities. The well and septic site needs to
be preserved on the site until municipal City sewer and water have been extended
along Bridle Creek Court and tested and accepted by the City.
DRAINAGE •
The majority of the site sheet drains north, east and south. The proposed grading
will maintain the pre-developed drainage pattern in the area for the most part. The

drainage area to the south and east of the property will be reduced. The plans
propose to drain the street and front yard areas of the lots back to Galpin
Boulevard where existing storm sewer is in place. Staff is concerned that the
existing storm drain system in Galpin Boulevard may not be sized to accommodate
the additional runoff proposed from Bridle Creek Court. The applicant will have
to analyze the existing capacity of the Galpin Boulevard storm drain system. In
addition,the downstream water quality pond which pre-treats Galpin Boulevard
runoff was not designed to accommodate runoff from this subdivision. This issue
may have to be revisited by staff and the applicant to look for an on-site storm
water treatment pond prior to final plat approval. A possible location of a storm
water quality pond would be on Lots 3 or 4 in the existing ravine area. There is an
existing drainage swale that drains the southerly half of the property along the
common property line of Stone Creek Development and this proposal. The
surface water drains along the property line into the existing ravine through Lots 3
and 4. The proposed house pad on Lot 3 could experience wet areas on both sides
of the house due to drainage through the area. These drainage constraints should
be considered and resolved in conjunction with the design of the home for Lot 3.
The plans will have to incorporate a drain tile system behind the curbs to address
household sump pump discharge for those lots not adjacent to a storm water pond
or wetland. Drain tile is also beneficial in absorbing subgrade moisture from the
street.
UTILITIES
Municipal utility service is indirectly available to the site. Water service is
available along Galpin Boulevard; however, sanitary sewer is located
approximately 750 feet north of the site near Lukewood Drive. Extension of
sanitary sewer will be very difficult given the terrain and vegetation. In addition,
the applicant may need to obtain permanent and temporary easements from the
adjacent property owner (Schmidt) to extend the utilities to service this
development. The utility easement should be a minimum of 20 feet wide or wider
depending on depth of the sewer. Should the applicant not obtain the necessary
easements from the Schmidts, the subdivision in question shall be considered
premature since sanitary sewer would not then be available to service the
development. The utility improvements proposed to service the site shall be
constructed in accordance with City standards. Upon completion of the utility
improvements, the utilities will be turned over the City for maintenance and
ownership. Detailed utility and street construction plans and specifications in
Sharmin Al-Jaff
Lynmore Addition Preliminary Plat Review

accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail
Plates will be required in conjunction with final plat consideration. Construction
drawings will need to be submitted to staff at least three weeks prior to final plat
consideration. The construction plans and specifications for the project will be
subject to staff review and City Council approval. The developer will be required
to enter into a PUD Agreement/Development Contract with the City and provide
the necessary financial security to guarantee conditions of approval. The financial
security shall be in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow. The existing
house on Lot 5 will be required to hook up to the new sewer and water lines
within 12 months after the utilities have been accepted by the City unless the
existing septic or well is damaged or is no longer functional due to construction of
the site improvements. The property will also be subject to deferred assessments
as a result of the City's Upper Bluff Creek Trunk Improvement Project No. 91-
17B. The parcel was previously assessed for only one trunk unit. Upon final
platting of the property, six additional trunk unit charges shall be assessed against
the property or collected at time of building permit issuance. The 1998 trunk
sewer utility hook-up charge is $1,216 per unit. The parcel will also be subject to
trunk watermain hook-up charges (6 units) at$1,584. Should Outlot B become
buildable in the future, this parcel will also be subject to sewer and water hook-up
charges.
STREETS
Access to the development is proposed from Galpin Boulevard/County Road 19.
This road is classified in the City's Comprehensive Plan as a collector street. The
minimum right-of-way width of Galpin Boulevard shall be 100 feet wide. The
preliminary plat indicates 50 feet of right-of-way exists adjacent to this
development; however, the City, through a previous project, acquired a trail and
utility easement for the extension of the utilities and existing trail along the parcel.
Staff does not believe that additional right-of-way was purchased in the easement
acquisition process. Staff will be reviewing this and may result in the applicant
dedicating a total of 27 feet of right-of-way along Galpin Boulevard. The
preliminary plat at this time indicates the proper right-of-way dedication; however,
the actual right-of-way dedication needs to be further verified by staff. Additional
right-of-way taking would not affect the lot sizes in the preliminary plat submittal.
The preliminary plat proposes a 60-foot wide right-of-way with a 60-foot radius
for the cul-de-sac in accordance with City Code. However, the street alignment
for the cul-de-sac is too severe to accommodate emergency vehicles and therefore
Sharmin Al-Jaff
Lynmore Addition Preliminary Plat Review
July 30, 1998

needs to be revised. Staff has looked into modifying the applicant's plat to
accommodate turning of emergency vehicles (see attached). Staffs layout also
resolves the 20-foot requested setback by the applicant. However, staff's proposal
incorporates a 50-foot wide right-of-way and eliminates Outlot B from being built
on in the future. Staffs layout does provide for larger lots and eliminates the
setback issue.
The site is currently accessed through a shared driveway off of Galpin Boulevard
with the Schmidt property to the north. As a result of platting the property a
public street will be extended to service the existing home as well as 6 additional
lots with the potential future subdivision of Outlot B as well. Staff is concerned
about future street access to the Schmidt parcel. Given the location of the existing
driveway, the additional turning movements and sight lines to the Schmidt
property is not desirable. Staff looked at the possibility of a future private
driveway through Outlot B to service future subdivision of the Schmidt parcel.
The Carver County Public Works Department has the jurisdiction to approve
additional access points or modify existing access points along Galpin Boulevard.
Staff believes that the Schmidt parcel should access Bridle Creek Court through
Outlot B with a private driveway in the future. Staff also believes the Schmidt
parcel does not have the capability to subdivide into more than four single-family
lots based on current ordinances and topographic features. Outlot B as currently
proposed is not a buildable lot. There is a parcel of land that is owned by the
Schmidt's that is needed to be acquired to develop Outlot B into a buildable parcel.
Staff recommends that a 30-foot wide strip of land be deeded or easement
dedicated to the City over Outlot B for future access (private driveway) to the
Schmidt parcel to serve up four residential homes. The exact location of this
easement can be modified through negotiations with staff and the applicant. Staffs
layout has addressed the approximate location for the private driveway which is 55
feet east of the intersection of Galpin Boulevard and Bridle Creek Court. This
should provide sufficient distance from the intersection for vehicles accessing the
Schmidt parcel. This also increase the lot sizes within the development and
shortens the cul-de-sac length. Staffs plan also reduces the right-of-way to 50 feet
wide to compensate for loss of Outlot B. Bridle Creek Court is proposed to be
constructed to City urban street standards within a 60-foot wide right-of-way.
Detailed street construction plans and specifications will be required prior to final
plat consideration. The public street shall be constructed in accordance with the
City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. There are city-
owned street lights along Galpin Boulevard that may be impacted with the street
connection. This must be verified and street lights relocated in accordance with
Sharmin Al-Jaff
Lynmore Addition Preliminary Plat Review
July 30, 1998
Page 5
City standards. A street light will also be required at the end of the cul-de-sac.
The developer shall also coordinate with the appropriate utility companies for the
installation of small utilities,i.e. NSP, Minnesota Valley Electric,Minnegasco,
Triax Cable and U.S. West.
Access to the existing house on Lot 5 must be maintained during construction
from both a public safety standpoint and a resident standpoint. Once the public
street(Bridle Creek Court) has been constructed, the existing home will be
required to change their address to Bridle Creek Court and eliminate the existing
access through the private driveway.
EROSION CONTROL
Erosion control fence is proposed along the grading limits on Lots 3, 4, 6 and 7.
Erosion control fence needs to be extended along Lot 5 and tree protection fencing
around the trees to be preserved on the site. Tree protection fencing shall be
incorporated onto the grading,drainage and erosion control plan.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. The plans shall be revised to include the following:
a. The grading plans shall include the type of dwelling, lowest floor
and garage floor elevations.
b. Show existing well and septic site with provisions for protection.
c. Drain tile behind the curb in accordance with City detail plates 5232
and 5234 to address household sump pump discharge.
d. Show sanitary sewer extension from Lukewood Drive including
existing topographic features.
e. Extend erosion control fence along the west side of Lot 5 and add
tree preservation fencing.
f. The cul-de-sac configuration/alignment shall be revised to
accommodate turning movements of the City's emergency vehicles.

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting site plan approval for the construction of an 8,249.5 square foot multi-
tenant retail building with the major tenant being Video Update. The site is legally described as Lot
1,Block 1, Seven and Forty-one Crossing, and is located on the southwest corner of the intersection
of Hwys. 7 and 41. The lot area of Lot 1 is 1.2 acres. It is zoned BN, Neighborhood Business
District. A retail building is a permitted use in the BN District.
Access to the site is proposed to take place via a right-in only from Highway 7, and from
Highway 41 across an existing parking lot for the 7 &41 Shopping Center, to the subject site.
The site plan for the retail building is reasonably well developed. The building is proposed to
utilize face brick on all four elevations,a rock face block accent band surrounding the building,
and a stucco entrance along the north elevation. Metal structures are used on the sides of the
entrances as accents to match the existing shopping center located south of the subject site. The
entrance to Video Update is of a stucco material. There are three horizontal red neon lights that
rap around the Video Update portion of the building, as well as the area surrounding the corners
of the entryway into Video Update. The neon light is part of Video Update's commercial
identification sign. Staff is not opposed to the neon around the stucco entrance, however, the
portion that extends along the brick walls is excessive and should be removed. The southern half
of the building utilizes standing seam metal canopies above the windows to match the existing 7
&41 Crossing Shopping Center. Staff is recommending the applicant remove the neon light
band above the north half of the eastern elevation and incorporate the same standing seam metal
canopy above the window.
Parking for vehicles is located on the east half of the site and north of the subject building.
Typically, staff works with the applicant to screen parking lots from views. However,the site
design for this shopping center is established and it appears that the proposed location for the
building is the logical one. The parking lot setback does not meet ordinance requirements from
Highway 7. The ordinance allows a 10 foot parking lot setback from public right-of-way in cases
when the parking is screened 100%. Otherwise, it is required to have a 25 foot setback. The site
plan is showing a 10 foot setback from Highway 7. The applicant is proposing to screen that
portion of the parking lot by a meandering berm and vegetation. The drive isles are 24 feet wide.
The ordinance requires a minimum width of 26 feet. The plan must be amended to show wider
drive isles. Staff is recommending the applicant reduce the width of the service lane located west
of the building by 4 feet and turn it into a one way street. This will permit the drive aisles in the
parking lot to be widened to 24 feet.
The ordinance requires a minimum side yard setback of 15 feet. The plans reflect a 5 foot
building setback from the southern property line. The applicant must increase the setback from
the southern property line by 10 feet.
Video Update
August 5, 1998
Page 3
The landscaping plan meets the minimum requirements of the ordinance with the exception of
one additional tree along the north portion of the site. Also, it appears that all the parking islands
have a width of less than 10 feet. Staff is recommending these islands be widened to a minimum
width of 10 feet. There is an existing vegetated buffer along the west side of the site. The
existing vegetation is not shown on the survey. It appears that the overall grading limits do not
disturb this area with the exception of the northwest and southwest corners. This natural buffer
acts as a barrier between the subject site and the residential neighborhood located west of the 7 &
41 Crossing Shopping Center and staff is recommending the applicant leave this buffer
undisturbed. The applicant is providing additional buffer between the proposed building and the
residential neighborhood to the west.
The site plan findings section require that a site plan be consistent with the zoning ordinance and
the comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan guides the property as medium density
residential. In 1988, when the zoning of the property was changed from 01 to BN, a minor
comprehensive plan amendment should have been processed concurrently with the rezoning.
Staff believes it was an oversight. Over the next year, staff will be processing overall
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning map to ensure they are consistent and this
will be one of the changes that will be processed at that time. The recommendation will be to
reguide the property from medium density residential to commercial. This amendment will
encompass the entire Seven and Forty-one Crossing Subdivision.
Staff regards the project as a reasonable use of the land. Based upon the foregoing, staff is
recommending approval of the site plan, without variances, with conditions.
BACKGROUND
On April 25, 1988,the City Council approved the first reading for the rezoning of the property at
the southwest corner of Hwy. 7 and 41 for OI, Office Institutional to BN,Neighborhood Business
District. On the same date,the Council also approved the subdivision of the subject property into
3 commercial lots. Lot 2 contains the 7 &41 Shopping Center and Lot 3 contains the
SuperAmerica Gas Station. Lot 1 is the subject site and is proposed to contain a multi-tenant
retail building.
In 1988, when the site(Shopping Center, SuperAmerica, and the subject site) was being prepared
for subdivision and development, it was under single ownership. As the Shopping Center and
SuperAmerica were sold off to other parties, a cross access easement was recorded in favor of the
SuperAmerica site to share access with the shopping center. The third site(Lot 1, Block 1,
Seven and Forty-one Crossing)was left landlocked. On July 14, 1997, the City Council
approved Site Plan Review#97-4 for a 9,680 square foot multi-tenant retail building with the
major tenant being Video Update. One of the conditions of approval stated"The applicant shall
Video Update
August 5, 1998
Page 4
provide the City with a recorded copy of a cross access agreement or such other evidences as
acceptable to staff to establish adequate ingress and egress between Lot 1, Block 1, and Lot 2,
Block 1, Seven and Forty-one Crossing." This was not accomplished and the owner of the 7 &
41 Crossing Shopping Center purchased Lot 2 and is requesting approval for a revised site plan
application.
GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE
The proposed one story multi-tenant retail building, with an area of 8,249.5 square feet,will be
situated parallel to and south of Highway 7. The site is bordered by Highway 7 to the north,
SuperAmerica to the east, a residential neighborhood to the west, and 7 & 41 Crossing Shopping
Center to the south. Access to the building is proposed from Highway 7 through a right-in only,
and from Highway 41, through the shopping center parking lot and into two curb cuts located
south of the subject site. Parking will be located to the east and north of the proposed building.
The building is located 80 feet from the north, 110 feet from the east, 5 feet from the south, and
74 feet from the west property line. The ordinance requires a minimum side yard setback of 15
feet. The applicant must increase the setback from the southern property line by 10 feet.
Materials used on the building will consist of face brick on all four elevations with rock face
block horizontal bands rapping around the building. The face brick was utilized to match the
materials used on the shopping center building. There are metal structures (also to match the
existing shopping center)along the entryways into the building. The entrance to Video Update is
of a stucco material. There are three horizontal red neon lights that rap around the Video Update
portion of the building, as well as the area surrounding the corners of the entryway into Video
Update. The neon light is part of Video Update's commercial identification sign. Staff is not
opposed to the neon around the stucco entrance, however, the portion that extends along the
brick walls is excessive and should be removed. Furthermore,the ordinance requires consistency
in signage on multi-tenant buildings. The red neon stops halfway along the east elevation which
detracts from the design of the building. The building's architecture is suitable for a shopping
center and meets the standards of the site plan ordinance requirements.
The BN Ordinance does not allow for drive through establishments. The existing driveway
located west of the proposed building is a service driveway only. Staff wanted to point out this
issue to bring it to the applicant's attention that this driveway may not be converted in the future
to accommodate a drive through establishment.
A parking lot light plan is required. The current plan does not include a light plan. Such must be
submitted prior to building permit issuance. Only shielded fixtures are permitted with no more
than 1/2 foot candle at the property line to meet the minimum requirements of the ordinance. The
plan should incorporate the light style and height. Light fixtures shall be shielded to ensure there
Video Update
August 5, 1998
Page 5
is no glare spilling beyond a 90 degree angle. Staff is also requiring a more detailed sign plan
which should include lighting method.
The site plan shows the trash enclosure located south of the building. The applicant shall use
materials to match the building when constructing the trash enclosure.
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;

and amount of parking.
(6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision
for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers,preservation of views, light
and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations
which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses.
Finding: The proposed development is consistent with the zoning ordinance, however,
the comprehensive plan guides the property as medium density residential. In 1988, when the
zoning of the property was changed from OI to BN, a minor comprehensive plan amendment
should have been processed concurrently with the rezoning. Staff believes it was an oversight.
Staff is recommending the site plan be approved. Over the next year, staff will be processing
overall amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning map to ensure they are consistent
and this will be one of the changes that will be processed at that time. The recommendation will
be to reguide the property from medium density residential to commercial. This amendment will
encompass the entire Seven and Forty-one Crossing subdivision.
The site design is compatible with the surrounding development. It is functional and harmonious
with the approved development for this area.
WETLANDS
There do not appear to be wetlands on the parcel.
GRADING
The site was rough graded with the initial development of Seven Forty-one Crossing. Additional
grading is proposed on the westerly slope for the trash enclosure and driveway around the
building. During review of the initial development (Seven Forty-one Crossing), there were
concerns for screening by the neighborhood to the west. The landscape plan proposes some
restoration of the slope; however,the existing vegetation provides the adjacent neighborhood
with a significant buffer. The applicant should explore the use of retaining walls or relocating
the trash enclosure and eliminating the drive aisle around the building to minimize grading and
tree loss. Another alternative would be to intensify the landscape plan to replace the buffer being
lost in the southwest corner of the site due to grading. The building and first floor elevations
propose to be two feet higher than the existing grade. The building elevation is approximately
the same elevation as the SuperAmerica station next door. A 2-3 foot high earth berm is
proposed along the north side of the site adjacent to Hwy. 7 to screen the northerly parking lot.
Video Update

DRAINAGE
The storm sewer system for this site was developed with the initial phase of the development.
No further downstream storm drainage improvements will be required. The applicant's engineer
shall provide detailed storm drainage calculations for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event to the city
engineer to review and approve prior to issuance of a building permit.
UTILITIES
Municipal sewer and water service is available to the site. The utility service to the site is
actually a private utility system owned and maintained by the shopping center association. The
utility plans will be subject to review and approval by the City's Building Department at time of
building permit application. The appropriate city sewer and water hookup charges will be
applied at building permit issuance. These hookup charges are based on the number of Sewer
Availability Charges (SAC)determined by the Metropolitan Environmental Services
Commission at time of building plan review. The 1998 trunk hookup charges for sewer and
water are$1,216 and $1,584, respectively.
ACCESS
The site is accessed internally from the shopping center which has access from Trunk Highway 7
and Trunk Highway 41. Access to the shopping center from Trunk Highway 7 is restricted to a
right-in only. A full access to and from the site is available at Trunk Highway 7. Upon review of
the parking lot circulation, staff has some concerns about the number of access points to the site
from the internal development. pedestrian safety may be compromised with the number of
access points proposed. The site can function with only one access from the south versus the
two. The access point in the southeast corner of the parking lot should be eliminated due to the
close proximity to the main north/south thoroughfare along the east property line. A similar site
plan was submitted last year and approved by the City that restricted the site to two access points-
-one from the south and one from the east. The parking lot layout should be redesigned to take
this into account as well as city code for drive aisle widths and radiuses. The existing curb radius
of the north/south main thoroughfare is proposed to be decreased. To provide adequate turning
movements for passenger and truck vehicles, this radius should not be decreased. Drive aisle
widths per City Code 20-1118 adjacent to parking stalls shall be 26 feet wide. Plans also propose
a service drive around the building. The drive aisle width is proposed at 24 feet wide. If the
applicant chooses to make the drive aisle one-way,the drive aisle width could be reduced to 20
feet in width which would allow the building to be shifted westerly to expand parking areas and
landscape median islands. The plans also propose a 5-foot landscape median between the
parking lot and the main north/south drive aisle to Trunk Highway 7. This landscape area is very
narrow and it would be difficult for landscape to grow and accommodate snow storage. The
Video Update
August 5, 1998
Page 8
median should be similar to the SA site, approximately 15 feet in width, to provide adequate
room for landscaping and snow storage.
A traffic signage plan needs to be prepared for review and approval by staff at time of building
permit application.
EROSION CONTROL
The plans lack the appropriate erosion control measures in accordance with city ordinance. The
plans need to be revised to include erosion control measures in accordance with the City's Best
Management Practice handbook.
MISCELLANEOUS
Staff has verified the impervious surface calculations on the plans and finds that the impervious
surface is closer to 71% versus the 54% as stated on the site plan. The applicant should
recalculate the impervious surface shown on the plans.
PARKING
The City's parking ordinance for retail buildings requires 1 space for each two hundred square
feet of gross floor area. This site will require 50 parking spaces. The applicant is providing 50
which meets the minimum requirements of the ordinance.
The Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) requires that accessible parking spaces be provided
at the rate of one accessible space per every 25 spaces in the lot(s). The site pan shows 2 spaces.
LANDSCAPING
Minimum requirements for landscaping include 1,567 sq. ft. of landscaped area around the
parking lot, 6 trees for the parking lot, and buffer yard plantings along Highway 7 and
neighboring property lines. The applicant has met the landscape area and parking lot tree
requirements. However, the majority of the required landscape islands and peninsulas in the
parking lot are each less than 10' in width and would therefore require aeration tubes to be
installed. Staff recommends that the applicant increase the width of the islands and peninsulas
rather that install the tubes.
The buffer yard requirements along highway 7 includes a total of 3 over story, 6 under story, and
10 shrubs. The applicant is short one under story tree, but has provided the minimum
requirements for the over story trees and shrubs.
Video Update
August 5, 1998
Page 9
Buffer yard requirements along the west side of the site include a minimum of 3 over story, 6
under story and 9 shrubs. Since there is existing vegetation,the applicant has proposed 4 over
story trees and 5 under story trees. Staff finds this acceptable,but is concerned that the existing
trees and shrubs remain and are protected during construction. The applicant must install a tree
protection fence before grading on the site begins.
LIGHTING
Lighting locations have not been illustrated on the plans. Only shielded fixtures are allowed.
The applicant shall demonstrate that there is no more than 1/2 foot candles of light at the property
line as required by ordinance. A detailed lighting plan should be submitted when building
permits are requested. Light fixtures shall be shielded to ensure there is no glare spilling beyond
a 90 degree angle.
SIGNAGE
The applicant is showing signage along three elevations (north, east, and south). The sign
ordinance state One wall business sign shall be permitted on the street frontage for each business
occupant within a building. This would limit signage to the north elevation only. Since there is
a private driveway along the east side of the building and since the majority of the parking lot is
located along the east side of the building, staff believes that the applicant should be permitted to
have signage along the east elevation. The sign along the southern elevation must be removed.
The north half of the building will be occupied by Video Update and is proposing to have one
sign along the north elevation with an area of 108 square feet. The signs along the east elevation
have an area of 60 and 63 square feet. These three signs are in keeping with the sign ordinance
requirements. All three signs meet the minimum requirements of the ordinance.
One issue that staff feels should be discussed relates to neon lights. During the preliminary
discussions with the applicant regarding the plans, a vibrant pink/red neon light that raps around
the building was discussed. This neon light is shown along the north and northeast half of the
building. There are three horizontal red neon lights that rap around the Video Update portion of
the building, as well as the area surrounding the corners of the entryway into Video Update. The
neon light is part of Video Update's commercial identification sign. Staff is not opposed to the
neon around the stucco entrance,however,the portion that extends along the brick walls is
excessive and should be removed. Furthermore,the ordinance requires consistency in signage on
multi tenant buildings. The red neon stops halfway along the east elevation which detracts from
the design of the building.
One ground low profile business sign is permitted per lot. The area of the sign may not exceed
24 square feet and a height of 5 feet. There are two existing pillars on the site to accommodate a
Video Update
August 5, 1998
Page 10
future sign, however, the applicant is not showing a ground low profile sign on the plans. Should
the applicant request a sign in the future, it must meet ordinance requirements and must be
located 10 feet from the property line.
The applicant must obtain a sign permit prior to erecting the signs on site. One stop sign must be
posted on the driveway at the exit point of the site. A detailed sign plan incorporating the
method of lighting, acceptable to staff should be provided prior to requesting a building permit.

* The ordinance requires a minimum side yard setback of 15 feet. The applicant is
providing 5 feet. This setback must be increased by an additional 10 feet from the
southern property line.
** As mentioned in the landscape portion of the report,the ordinance states that Parking
setbacks along public rights-of-way may be reduced to a minimum of ten (10)feet if the
applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the city that one-hundred-percent
screening is provided at least five (5)feet above the adjacent parking lot. The intent of
this section is that the city is willing to trade a reduced setback for additional
landscaping that is both an effective screen and of high quality aesthetically. Acceptable
screening is to be comprised of berming and landscaping. Screening through the use of
fencing is not permitted.
Video Update

The applicant is showing a 10 foot parking lot setback from Highway 7. The ordinance
typically requires a 25 foot setback from public right-of-way. The applicant wishes to
take advantage of the 10 foot flexibility in the ordinance, and has provided berming and
landscaping along the area that encroaches into the required setback. Staff recommends
the reduced setback be approved.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:

Upon review of the plans prepared by James R. Hill dated July 7, 1998, I offer the
following comments and recommendations:
GRADING
The site was rough graded with the initial development of Seven Forty-one Crossing.
Additional grading is proposed on the westerly slope for the trash enclosure and
driveway around the building. During review of the initial development(Seven Forty-
one Crossing), there were concerns for screening by the neighborhood to the west.
The landscape plan proposes some restoration of the slope; however, the existing

should explore the use of retaining walls or relocating the trash enclosure and
eliminating the drive aisle around the building to minimize grading and tree loss.
Another alternative would be to intensify the landscape plan to replace the buffer being
lost in the southwest corner of the site due to grading. The building and first floor
elevations propose to be two feet higher than the existing grade. The building
elevation is approximately the same elevation as the Super America station next door.
A 2-3 foot high earth berm is proposed along the north side of the site adjacent to

ACCESS
The site is accessed internally from the shopping center which has access from Trunk
Highway 7 and Trunk Highway 41. Access to the shopping center from Trunk
Highway 7 is restricted to a right-in only. A full access to and from the site is available
at Trunk Highway 7. Upon review of the parking lot circulation, staff has some
concerns about the number of access points to the site from the internal development.
Staff has concerns that pedestrian safety may be compromised with the number of
access points proposed. Staff believes the site can function with only one access from
the south versus the two. Staff believes that the access point in the southeast corner of
the parking lot should be eliminated due to the close proximity to the main north/south

and approved by the City that restricted the site to two access points--one from the
south and one from the east. Staff believes the parking lot layout should be redesigned
to take this into account as well as city code for drive aisle widths and radiuses. The
existing curb radius of the north/south main thoroughfare is proposed to be decreased.
To provide adequate turning movements for passenger and truck vehicles, this radius
should not be decreased. Drive aisle widths per City Code 20-1118 adjacent to

width which would allow the building to be shifted westerly to expand parking areas
and landscape median islands. The plans also propose a 5-foot landscape median
between the parking lot and the main north/south drive aisle to Trunk Highway 7.
This landscape area is very narrow and it would be difficult for landscape to grow and
accommodate snow storage. Staff believes that the median should be similar to the

PROPOSED RETAIL BUILDING
NARRATIVE
July 8, 1998
This building's architectural design derives its character from the existing retail center and
the neighboring gas/convenience. The materials match the surrounding buildings in brick
color, metal colors, and storefront mullion color. Special design features are incorporated
at key corners and entries that reflect the brick detailing and metal structures of the
existing retail, yet at a proportion more appropriate to this smaller free-standing building;
rock face block bands and base further the continuity of the design.
The Video Update area incorporates two neon bands at north and east elevations only so
as not to be visible from the residential area. Its prototype marquee has been modified to
compliment the design. The remaining tenant space utilizes a colorful standing seam metal
canopy to add a festive pedestrian feeling.
All signage is conforming to the city ordinance in location, size and will be individually
mounted with illuminated letters having a common metal surround color to match the
existing center signage. Rooftop units will be screened by the raised parapet area of
Video Update and painted to match the metal coping. The trash enclosure is brick to
match the building with metal gates that are secured.
The site plan is designed with 35% green area. The service drive is screened from the
neighboring residential area by the existing vegetation and grade that provides 100%
opaqueness. The parking is screened from the highway with a meandering 3' high berm
with a 2' high evergreen shrubs on top. A sidewalk has been provided that extends to the
south lot line. The owner will obtain a cross parking easement between the sites to ensure
continuity and flow.

Outlot D, Springfield
August 5, 1998

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting subdivision approval to create two lots on 0.7 acres within the Springfield
development. Originally, this property was being held as part of a larger lot for one of the existing property
owners. It was envisioned that at some time the property would be further subdivided. The average lot size
within the entire development will be reduced from 17,814 to 17,780 square feet. However, this still
exceeds the minimum average lot size of 15,000 square feet required by the PUD ordinance. The proposed
lots are consistent with the original concept of the development.
Staff is recommending approval of the subdivision subject to the conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND
On May 12, 1997, the City Council approved the final plat for Springfield Addition creating 26 lots and
10 outlots, the final reading for the rezoning of the property from A2 to PUD-R. and the PUD agreement
and development contract for the project. Outlot D, Springfield Addition, was created as part of this
plat.
On May 20, 1996, the City Council approved a one year extension until June 1, 1997 for preliminary
plat (93-6 PUD) to subdivide 80.8 acres into 135 single-family.
On May 22, 1995, the City Council granted a one year time extension for the preliminary plat for the
Rogers/Dolejsi property (#93-6 PUD)until June 1, 1996.
On January 9, 1995, the City Council approved a six month time extension for the preliminary plat for
the Rogers/Dolejsi property (#93-6 PUD).
On December 13, 1993, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for the Rogers/Dolejsi property
(#93-6 PUD) for 135 lots on 80.8 acres located south of Lyman Boulevard and east of Highway 101.
LANDSCAPING/TREE PRESERVATION
The applicant has prepared a master landscape plan for the project as well as a final plan for the first
phase of the development. This plan has incorporated three trees along the street boulevard for these
two lots.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT
The City has adopted a Surface Water Management Plan(SWMP)that serves as a tool to protect,preserve
and enhance water resources. The plan identifies, from a regional perspective,the storm water quantity and
quality improvements necessary to allow future development to take place and minimize its impact to
Outlot D, Springfield
August 5, 1998
Page 3
downstream water bodies. In general,the water quantity portion of the plan uses a 100-year design storm
interval for ponding and a 10-year design storm interval for storm sewer piping. The water quality portion
of the plan uses William Walker, Jr.'s Pondnet model for predicting phosphorus concentrations in shallow
water bodies. An ultimate conditions model has been developed at each drainage area based on the
projected future land use,and therefore,different sets of improvements under full development were
analyzed to determine the optimum phosphorus reduction in priority water bodies. The development will
be required to be constructed in accordance with the City's Surface Water Management Plan.
Storm Water Quality Fees
The SWMP has established a water quality connection charge for each new subdivision based on land use.
Dedication shall be equal to the cost of land and pond volume needed for treatment of the phosphorus load
leaving the site. The requirement for cash in lieu of land and pond construction shall be based upon a
schedule in accordance with the prescribed land use zoning. Values are calculated using market values of
land in the City of Chanhassen plus a value of$2.50 to $4.00 per cubic yard for excavation of the pond.
The water quality charge has been established at$800/acre for single-family residential development. This
proposed development of 0.7 acres would be charged a water quality fee of$560.00.
Storm Water Quantity Fees
The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average city-wide
rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land acquisition, proposed SWMP
culverts, open channels and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage. Single family residential
developments will have a connection charge of$1,980 per developable acre. Water quantity fees for this
plan are based on assessments of 0.7 acres at$1,980/acre or$1,386.00.
SWMP Credits
The applicant will be credited water quality fees where they provide NURP basins to treat runoff from this
site. This will be determined upon review of the ponding and storm sewer calculations. Credits in this
development are also being given for the applicants participation in paying for overseeing trunk storm
sewer lines servicing this property. As a result,the applicant is receiving credits for water quality fees.
These fees will be due payable to the City at time of final plat recording. The applicant will be charged
SWMP fees for lots that are presented for final platting. Future phases of the development will be
assessed charges when they are submitted for final platting.
GRADING. DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL
The plans appear to conform with the comprehensive grading and drainage plans for the Springfield
development. The street subgrade has already been graded in conjunction with Springfield 2nd and 3rd
Additions. Only lot grading remains to be completed.
Outlot D, Springfield
August 5, 1998
Page 4
Site drainage also conforms with the neighborhood drainage pattern for the area. Stormwater runoff
from the site will be conveyed either over land or via storm sewers to the existing regional pond on Lots
19-22, Block 5 for pretreatment prior to discharging into Lake Riley. Detailed drainage calculations for
a 10-year, and 100-year, 24-hour storm event shall be required in conjunction with the final plat process.
Erosion control fence Type I is proposed along the southern property line. Additional erosion control
fence shall also be placed along the eastern property line. Rock construction entrances must be
maintained at all access points until the street is paved. Within two weeks after site grading is
completed, the site shall be re-topsoiled, seeded, and mulched in conjunction with the City's Best
Management Practice Handbook.
UTILITIES
At this time, municipal utility service has been extended to the west line of Lot 21, Block 5, which is one
lot short of the proposed subdivision. Staff understands that the utility and street improvements for
Sunnyvale Drive will be extended in the near future with Lundgren's next phase(4th Addition)to service
these two lots. Final plat approval shall be contingent upon street and utility improvements being
extended to service this development. Utility and street improvements within this development shall be
constructed in accordance with the city's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detailed Plates.
Upon completion of the utility improvements, the utilities will be turned over to the City for
maintenance and ownership. The developer will be required to enter into a PUD
Agreement/Development Contract with the City and provide the necessary financial security to
guarantee conditions of approval.
STREETS
The street system is fairly straightforward. Sunnyvale Drive will be extended in conjunction with future
platting of Springfield 4th Addition to connect into Springfield Drive. The preliminary plans propose a
50-foot wide right-of-way. The right-of-way needs to be 60 feet. The public street shall be constructed
in general accordance with the city's Urban Street Standards (31-foot wide back-to-back with curb and
gutter) within the 60-foot wide right-of-way. In addition, a 5-foot concrete sidewalk will need to be
constructed along the south side of Sunnyvale Drive within the right-of-way. Detailed street
construction plans and specifications will also be required for review and approval by the city council at
time of final plat request.
PARKS & RECREATION
Full park and trail fees shall be required pursuant to city ordinance as part of this development.

Iirl,rric,:.ci.ch,t;ibasse,l Upon review of the preliminary plans for Rogers/Dolejsi Property prepared by Pioneer
Engineering dated September 23, 1993, revised July 9, 1998, I offer the following
comments and recommendations:
GRADING, DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL
The plans appear to conform with the comprehensive grading and drainage plans for the
Springfield development. The street subgrade has already been graded in conjunction with
Springfield 2nd and 3rd Additions. Only lot grading remains to be completed.
Site drainage also conforms with the neighborhood drainage pattern for the area.
Stormwater runoff from the site will be conveyed either over land or via storm sewers to
the existing regional pond on Lots 19-22,Block 5 for pretreatment prior to discharging into
Lake Riley. Detailed drainage calculations for a 10-year,and 100-year,24-hour storm
event shall be required in conjunction with the final plat process. Erosion control fence
Type I is proposed along the southern property line. Additional erosion control fence shall
also be placed along the eastern property line. Rock construction entrances must be
maintained at all access points until the street is paved. Within two weeks after site
grading is completed,the site shall be re-topsoiled,seeded,and mulched in conjunction
with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook.
UTILITIES
At this time,municipal utility service has been extended to the west line of Lot 21, Block 5,
which is one lot short of the proposed subdivision. Staff understands that the utility and
street improvements for Sunnyvale Drive will be extended in the near future with
Lundgren's next phase (4th Addition)to service these two lots. Final plat approval shall be
contingent upon street and utility improvements being extended to service this
development. Utility and street improvements within this development shall be constructed
in accordance with the city's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detailed Plates.
Upon completion of the utility improvements,the utilities will be turned over to the City for
maintenance and ownership. The developer will be required to enter into a PUD
Agreement/Development Contract with the City and provide the necessary financial
security to guarantee conditions of approval.

STREETS
The street system is fairly straightforward. Sunnyvale Drive will be extended in
conjunction with future platting of Springfield 4th Addition to connect into Springfield
Drive. The preliminary plans propose a 50-foot wide right-of-way. The right-of-way
needs to be 60 foot. The public street shall be constructed in general accordance with the
city's Urban Street Standards(31-foot wide back-to-back with curb and gutter)within the
60-foot wide right-of-way. In addition, a 5-foot concrete sidewalk will need to be
constructed along the south side of Sunnyvale Drive within the right-of-way. Detailed
street construction plans and specifications will also be required for review and approval by
the city council at time of final plat request.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. Appropriate drainage and utility easements shall be conveyed with the final plat for all
utilities located outside the right-of-way. The minimum width shall be twenty (20)
feet.
2. Construction plans and specifications for the extension of utility service and street
improvements to this development shall be submitted to the City three weeks prior to
final plat consideration for staff review and City Council approval. The developer shall
construct all utility and street improvements in accordance with the City's latest edition
of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates and prepare final construction plans and
specifications for City staff review and formal City Council approval in conjunction
with final plat approval.
3. The developer shall be required to enter into a PUD Agreement/Development Contract
with the City and provide the necessary financial security to guarantee compliance with
the conditions of approval of final platting.
4. Storm sewers shall be designed and constructed to facilitate a 10-year storm event.
Detailed storm sewer calculations for the development will be required in conjunction
with final platting.
5. The street right-of-way throughout the subdivision shall be 60 feet wide.
6. All disturbed areas during site grading shall be immediately restored with seed and disc
mulch or wood fiber blanket within two weeks after site grading or before October 31
each construction season accept in areas where utilities and street will be constructed
yet that year. All disturbed areas resulting from construction activities shall be restored
in accordance to the City's Best Management Practice Handbook for erosion and
sediment control.

SUBJ: Wetland Alteration Permit(#98-3) for Ms. Julie Sprau, 1085 Holly
Lane
BACKGROUND
On March 27, 1995, the City Council approved the final plat for Subdivision 95-1,
Ravenswood Estates. Lot 2 of Ravenswood Estates (1085 Holly Lane) included a
ten foot wide strip of property that provided access to Christmas Lake. However,
a lot width of ten (10) feet does not meet city standards with regards to width of
property at the shoreline, or area required for dock setbacks, which is ten(10) feet
from the extended lot lines.
Prior to the purchase of the property, the applicant received information from the
seller that a dock had existed in this location in excess of 40 years. Based on that
information, staff had indicated that the dock would have non-conforming status
and could continue to be used as long as it maintained its "grandfather status." If
the dock had not been used for more than one year, it would lose the legal non-
conforming status.
At the time of subdivision review, information was presented that the previous
owner lost the non-conforming rights to have a dock when he ceased to maintain a
dock on the property on a yearly basis. Based on this determination,the property
no longer had non-conforming rights, and a dock was denied for this lot. The City
Council did,however, indicate that they were sympathetic to what occurred and
encouraged the applicant, Ms. Sprau, to pursue the variance process.
The subsequent variance request was also denied.

Sprau Wetland Alteration Permit#98-3
July 29, 1998
Page 2
UPDATE
Having lost the appeal, and any dock rights to her property, Ms. Sprau is now applying for a
wetland alteration permit that will allow her access to her 10 feet of lakeshore.
Currently a small wetland exists along the lakeshore that prevents access from Ms. Sprau's yard
and the Christmas lake shoreline. The wetland proposed to be impacted, is a seasonally flooded
area less than 2,000 square feet, that was most likely formed from a silt delta along the lake
shore. The amount of wetland on Ms. Sprau's property is approximately a ten foot by ten foot
section.
In an attempt to utilize her 10 feet of lake shore property, Ms. Sprau applied to the MnDNR to
fill this area to gain access. After meeting with Ceil Strauss, Area Hydrologist for the DNR, Jim
Haffner from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, and city staff, the applicant agreed that a
boardwalk over the wetland would be a preferable option.
A permit for this activity is not required by the DNR,the Watershed District or the Wetland
Conservation Act(WCA). However, the City of Chanhassen does include docks over or in
wetlands as wetland impacts and requires a permit for such activities. An alternative to a
boardwalk would be to fill the ten foot strip of wetland. This activity would result in the loss of
approximately 100 square feet of wetland which is well below the 2,000 square foot di minimus
exemption provided by the States Wetland Conservation Act. Even if the City were to deny a
permit to fill this area, the applicant could appeal the decision to the State of Minnesota, as
allowed by the WCA.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve Wetland
Alteration Permit#98-3 to allow a boardwalk over the wetland to gain access to lakeshore. Staff
believes that this would be a minimal impact to small wetland area. This recommendation is also
endorsed by Ceil Strauss, MnDNR Area Hydrologist,and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District.

Applicant: Julie Sprau & Joseph Kelly
Address: 1085 Holly Lane, Chanhassen, MN 55317-9436
Written Description: We are requesting a wetland alteration permit so that we can put a
boardwalk from the edge of the grass to the edge of Christmas Lake so that our family will
have reasonable access to the lake.
We purchased Block 1, Lot 2 of Ravenswood Estates in April 1995. The property
includes a 10 foot wide, 300 foot long piece of property that provides access to Christmas
Lake (see enclosed plat). As the enclosed photographs indicate, the current vegetation
does not allow for reasonable access to Christmas Lake. We have two children (5 years
old and 2 1/2 years old) who would enjoy fishing and swimming in Christmas Lake. We
would like to put a boardwalk from the edge of the grass to the edge of Christmas Lake so
that our family can reasonably access the lake for swimming and fishing. Although we
could fill up to 2000 square feet of the space in question (existing wetlands) with dirt to
accomplish our goal of lake access, we feel that a boardwalk would accomplish the same
goal but would preserve the wetlands.
If anyone reviewing this application has any questions or comments, we would appreciate
an opportunity to answer such questions or address such comments.

City/Hansen PUD 98-2
August 5, 1998

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is proposing to subdivide 6.6 acres into 2 lots. One 2.75 acre parcel will be
purchased by the City and utilized for City Center Park. The remaining 3.85 acre parcel will be
utilized for up to 30 additional multi-family units. The property is currently zoned R-12, High
Density Residential and the proposal calls for rezoning it to PUD, Planned Unit Development,
Residential and OI, Office Institutional. Part of the reason for the use of a PUD is to permit the
applicant to develop multi-family project. With the purchase of part of the site, the development
would exceed impervious surface coverage.
Both lots meet the minimum requirements of the zoning ordinance as relates to the area, width
and depth. The site is located south of Santa Vera Drive and north of the Chanhassen
Elementary School. Access to the parcels will be provided via Santa Vera Drive and Laredo
Drive.
The southern portion of the site is wooded and contains an ag-urban wetland. Since the western-
most parcel will be developed as a park,tree plantings are proposed for that area. When the
eastern parcel is developed, staff will require that tree stands be preserved where feasible.
Staff is recommending that the concept and preliminary PUD including the subdivision, and the
rezonings be approved with the appropriate conditions.
BACKGROUND
The City of Chanhassen is purchasing the western 2.75 acres of the 6.6 +/- acre parcel for City
Center Park. This is proposed to be rezoned to OI, Office Institutional. The remaining 3.58
acres is proposed to be rezoned to PUD-R. This parcel may be development with up to 30 multi-
family residential units. This is conceptual. Sixteen multi-family units currently exist on the
site.
In 1977, Saratoga 1St and 2nd Additions were approved. The subject parcel was platted as Outlot
B. In the next year, a PUD was approved for the Santa Vera Apartments, which are located on
the northwest portion of the parcel. Staff has not determined how the apartments were approved
to be built on an outlot. The zoning ordinance does not permit buildings to be built on outlots.

REZONING
Parkland
The applicant is proposing to rezone the property from R-12, High Density Residential to OI,
Office Institutional. The area to the north is zoned R-4, Mixed Low Density Residential, and the
area to the east and west is zoned Planned Unit Development Residential and is guided for High
Density Residential.
The 2000 Land Use Plan shows this area designated for development as High Density
Residential, 8-16 units per acre.
This area is in the MUSA area. Staff is recommending approval of the rezoning to 01. As part
of the update of the Comprehensive Plan, the City will amend the land use to Public/Semi-Public
to make it consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Parks are permitted uses in the High Density
Residential districts.
Multi-Family
The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 6.6 acres from R-12 to PUD, Planned Unit
Development. There is one component to the PUD: multi-family. The following review
constitutes our evaluation of the PUD request. The review criteria is taken from the intent
section of the PUD Ordinance.
Section 20-501. Intent
Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of
most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater
variety of uses, internal transfer of density, construction phasing,and a potential for lower
development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility,the City has the expectation that
the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than
would have been the case with the other more standard zoning districts.
FINDINGS
It will be the applicant's responsibility to demonstrate that the City's expectations are to be
realized as evaluated against the following criteria:
City/Hansen PUD 98-2
August 5, 1998
Page 4
1. Preservation of desirable site characteristics and open space and protection of sensitive
environmental features, including steep slopes, mature trees, creeks, wetlands, lakes and
scenic views.
Finding. The PUD creates design standards to permit development flexibility which will
preserve a stand of mature trees and provide connectivity between future residential
development and future park.
2. More efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities through mixing
of land uses and assembly and development of land in larger parcels.
Finding. Open space will be preserved in conjunction with the development of the high
density residential development.
3. High quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both
existing and planned. Site planning, landscaping and building architecture should reflect
higher quality design than is found elsewhere in the community.
Finding. The PUD design standards will require a higher quality development than
would normally be required for R-12 properties.
4. Sensitive development in transitional areas located between different land uses and along
significant corridors within the city will be encouraged.
Finding. The PUD design standards will require sensitivity in development.
5. Development which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Finding. The parcel is guided high density residential,which permits up to 16 units per
acre.
6. Parks and open space. The creation of public open space may be required by the city.
Such park and open space shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Park Plan and
overall trail plan.
Finding. The preservation of the trees will be required in the south portion when the site
develops. The application is consistent with the Comprehensive Park Plan as the adjacent
property will be developed for City Center Park.
7. Provision of housing affordable to all income groups if appropriate with the PUD.
City/Hansen PUD 98-2
August 5, 1998
Page 5
Finding. The units will be market rate.
8. Energy conservation through the use of more efficient building designs and sitings and
the clustering of buildings and land uses.
Finding. The design standards will make the development more efficient.
9. Use of traffic management and design techniques to reduce the potential for traffic
conflicts. Improvements to area roads and intersections may be required as appropriate.
Finding. The appropriate traffic management techniques will be utilized.
Summary of Rezoning to PUD
Rezoning the property to PUD provides the applicant with flexibility,but allows the city to
request additional improvements and the site's unique features can be better protected. The
flexibility in standards allows the disturbed areas to be further removed from the unique features
of the site. In return for the flexibility,the city is receiving:
Development that is consistent with Comprehensive Plan
Preservation of desirable site amenities: trees and wetland
Sensitive development in transitional areas; and
More efficient use of land
GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE
As part of the PUD design standards the City will permit up to 30 additional multi-family
residential units. A separate site plan review will be required prior to the development of any
additional units.
