STAFF REPORT chanhassen Business center Ryan Construction Deceraber 4, L99l Page 2 PROPOEAL,/SI,Uu,ARY Ryan construction conpany, the applicant, is proposing to develop an industrial park south of Highway 5 and adj acent to Audubon Road.This site is a triangrular parcel which is approximately 94 acres insize. The proposal consists of a conbined prelininary and finalplat for rezoning fron A-2 to PUD. Prelininary plat approval isalso being reguested as is approval of an Environmental" Assessnentworksheet for subDittal to the Environmental Quality Board.conceptual approval was given by the Planning Conmission on Septenber 4, 1991, and by the City Council on SepteDber 23, L99I. Ryan Construction will be the owner and developer of the BusinessCenter. The site is triangular in shape bounded on the north by theChicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Pacific RaiLroad, on the east by Audubon Road, and on the south by a farn that is currentLy zoned A-2 but is guided for Lou Density Residential uses. Lake Susan Hills3rd Addition is located to the east of Audubon Road and is zoned PUD-R, to the rrest Tinberwood Estates Subdivision zoned RR, and tothe north of the subj ect site the property is zoned A-2. The preliuinary proposal calls for ultinate developnent of TOO,ooosquare feet of building. The uses include 20* office, 25*industrial, and 55t varehouse. The project will be called Chanhassen Business Center (CBC). All of the lots will be accessedfron Lake Drive except for Lot 1, which is proposed to have direct access on to Audubon.. Access to this si.te is fron an internal cu1-de-sac off of Audubon Road. The project includes 12 Lots fordevelopnent and two outlots. The CBC will be developed in twophases over a period of several years. Staff had directed the applicant to prepared an EAw, including atraffic study. The EAw and traffic study are discussc i in greaterdetail at the end of the Proposal Sunnary section. The trafficelenent of the EAW states that with the first phase of developnenta traffic signal vill be warranted at T.H. S and audubon Road. Inthe EAW, one of the roajor areas of concern will be the developmentof the retention pound and the reatignment of the flood plain inOutlot A. After the Planning Connission has made their recorlmendat j.on on the prelininary site plan, staff will publish inthe Environnental Quality Board lronitor publication, a-notice ofthe 30 day cornment period. The intent of a PUD is to develop flexibte zoning while creating ahigher- standard of developnent. part of the iUD process is toestablish development standards by which site plans wiIl berequired to adhere to. This pUD will be governld by a finaldevelopnent plan and, as stated in the poD ordinante, ninor Chanhassen Business Center Ryan construction DeceEber 4, l99L Page 3 extensions, alterations or nodification of existing buildings or structures uay by approved by the Planning Director. Any najor anendments to an approved developnent plan may be made only by approval of the city Council after revj.ew by the Planning Cornnission. Each lot rrill have to proceed through a site plan revi.ew before any development can occur. The overall pretininary site plan appears to be in orderi however, there are still a few areas of concern. These are generally of a nore minor nature and are described in the staff report. The plan meets the intent of the PUD zoning inctuding setbacks, landscaping, hard surface coverage, and parking. The intended use of this park is office, Iight industrial, and warehousing. These uses should not create noise or generate odor. The Public Safety Cornnission has reviewed concerns raised by the residents about trucks parking on Audubon Road. The city council,on Decenber 9, 1991, will be give consideration to posting noparking for trucks on Audubon Road. The applicant is proposing to grade this site in two phases. Thereis no proposed retention pond for Phase I. Staff recommends theapplicant utilize the linear retention area located in the northrresterly section of the site parallel along the railroadtracks for this purpose. This would serve as a temporary retention pond until the pernanent retention pond is constructed within PhaseII. The tenporary retention pond could then be elininated in thefuture with Phase II developroent. This area is inside the I,IUSA line which recent].y was expanded bythe tletropolitan Council. This area wilL be serviced by a trunk sewer that vill have to be constructed fron the south along Llman Boulevard. This sill require a lift station and forcemain systemto punp back up Audubon Road to discharge into the sanitary sewerline at take Drive west and Audubon Road. The sanitary sewer in Audubon Road vil1 also have to be extended easterly along future Lake Drive West to the Lake Ann Interceptor. The applica.nt will bepetitioning the city Council on DeceDber 9, L991, for a feasibilitystudy so that work uay proceed innediately on the financing arrangements. For Phase I, which includes 7 lots, the applicants are proposing to extend the sanitary suer from the intersection of Heron Drive and Audubon Road northerly along the test side of Audubon Road. staff is recornmending that this be done on a tenporary basis with the condition that the applicants ensure there is sufficient capacity in the Iake susan Hi11s systen withthe inclusion of the residential build out area. If there issufficient capacity, each connection should be considered on a lotby Iot basis. In addition, when Phase II sanitary sewer is Based on the traffic study prepared by RLK Associates, Ltd., onbehaLf of the developers, Ryan Construction, capacity analyses forthe intersection of T.H. 5 at Audubon Road, suggests that the cityuork with UnDOT to request a traffic signal be installed tocoincide with the conpletion of Phase I construction. Staff is reconmending that the applicant pay a portion of that cost using aformula of traffic being genbrated by this project. Chanhassen Business Center Ryan Construction December 4, 7991 Page 4 constructed that if econonical.ly feasible Phase I shouLd beredirected to flow into Phase II . staff beLieves the proposal to be a well designed project and have worked extensively rrith the applicant over a period of nonths. Thesite is large and the project is a substantial one that will bedeveloped over a period of years. However, through the PUDordinance it is conprehensively planned and will offer aconsistently higher standard of deveLopnent than woutd have occurred if the parcel were to be developed in the usual nanner.Utility issues are fairly complex, but rre find this to beconsistent rrith the fact that this is the first project requestedin the new IIUSA area. staff finds the proposed PUD, plat and EAwto be acceptable and recommending approval of the prelininary andfinal stage of the PUD plan, pretininary plat and EAW subj ect to Proposed conditions. BACXGROI'ND The U. S. Weather Service has announced its plans torelocate fron the Minneapolis/St. Paul fnternationalAirport to Chanhassen by L99L/1994. They have selected a site in the southeast corner of theproperty along Audubon Road as their preferred locationand have been working with staff and the developer toprepare appropriate plans. On SepteEber 4, 1991, the Planning conmission and on September 23,1991, the City Council reviewed and approved the concept. plans forthe Chanhassen Business Center PUD. In addition, the City Councilis proposing to enlarge the econonic/Tax Increnent FinancingDistrict to include this area. PREIJII{INIRY IIID TINAIJ ATAGE PI'D PLEN APPROVAIJ General Site PI an /Architecture The site is used agriculturally and currently, soybean fields coveruost of the site. The farned area consists of 57.5 acres of the93.7 acres of developable area. The 12 lots proposed are located o chanhassen Business center Ryan construction Decenber 4, l99l Page 5 in this farrned area. There are tuo lots being created rrhere developnent will not occuri outlot A, which will be approxirnately 14.3 acres and outlot B vhich rill be approximately 7.8 acres. A storn water retention pond ls being proposed on a portion of outlotA. The balance of the parcel will be used to protect Bluff Creek, associated flood plain and the only significant stand of trees found on the site. outLot B, located farther to the west, isphysicatly separated fron the nain portion of the site by outlot A.outlot B is currently being farned. It is not feasible to accessthis parcel fron Audubon Road uithout causing significant environnental damage. There are no plans to develop Outlot B atthis tine. It is envisioned that this would be conbined rrith otherparcels guided for industrial use and accessed fron calpin Boulevard. The project wiII be developed in two phases. The first phase isthe easterly one-ha1f of the site. The Phase I developnent is proposed to connect into the Lake Susan HilLs sanitary sewer.staff is reconmending that this rnay be done on a teBporary basis with the condition that there is verification of excess capacity. It was previously believed by staff that there may have been a lretLand on the proposed Iot 6. l{e requested a site visit and according to the Arny corps of Engineers this area is not a uetland. Based upon this finding, no nitigative Deasures are required. Based on the topography a najority of the site sLopes westerly down fron Audubon Road and the railroad track towards Bluff creek to the west. Access is proposed to be provided by a Iong cul-de-sac extension fron Audubon Road. staff would have normally preferred to provide a loop street connection but this is not possible for thil site without inpacting environmental features or surrounding residential neighlrorhoods. Eleven of the 12 develoPnent sites are accessed along the proposed cul-de-sac or off a secondary cul-de- sac running north fron the nain road. Lot 1 is located in the northeast corner of the proPerty. It is difficult to access Lot 1 internally due to the layout of the site plan and the elevation of Lot 1. fnternal access is not impossib).e, however, and generally preferred by staff. Holrever, it appears that access fron Lot 1 directly onto Audubon can safely be accomDodated with street improvernents and may be acceptable. The site plans reflects a required 50 foot landscaping buffer strip along Audubon Road and a 100 foot landscaping buffer along the southern property line. The higher profile, nore office-oriented buildings witl be oriented toward Audubon Road. Near the central portionl of the site and the rrestern edge, higher density developnent is shown. Chanhassen Business center Ryan construction December 4, l99l Page 5 The applicant has proposed the follorcing development standards intheir PUD p1an. Staff has reviewed these proposals, uade conmentsor findings and then given the staff proposal for language to beincorporated into the final PUD plan document. Applicantrs Proposal.

A rrvariancen as rnentioned by the applicant is not the appropriate procedure for deviating fron these standards. A revised PUD plan would need to be sought and is not likely to be acceptable. zurthennore, we are proposing that truck terninals be prohibited fron this project due to on and off-site inpacts. Lastly, the applicant has made representations to the city that parcels located along Audubon Road be devoted prinarily to office uses due to their high visibility. we agree sith this statenent and also believethat higher quality office use structures are nore appropriate nearresidential parcels and public right-of-ways. Therefore, lre are reconnending that a condition be added to the effect that allparcels located along Audubon Road contain at least 50t of theirtotal floor area in office space and that the office components of the building be oriented towards the exterior of the PuD. c. Setbrcfs Applicantrs Proposal . The applicant is proposing a building setback of 50 feet from the required buffer yards, public right-of-ways, front, and rear property lines and 10 feet fronall internal side tot lines. For parking setbacks, the proposal is for a 20 foot setback fron the buffer yards, 10 feet fron internal 1ot lines and 25 feet fron Lake Drive. Findino. In the PUD standards there is the requirement for landscape buffering in addition to building and parking setbacks. The landscape buffer on Audubon Road is 50 feet and 1OO feet along the southern property line. The PUD zone requires a building to be setback 50 feet from the reguired landscape buffer and public right-of-ways. There is no minirnum reguirenent for setbacks on interior lot lines.

The plans do not provide for streetlighting. As uith previous industrial Parks,/roadways, theCity has required the developer to install street Iights throughout the street systen. The street lights should be designed consistent with the existing lighting along Audubon Road. A decorative, shoebox fixture (high pressure sodiun vapor lanps) with a sguare ornamental pole shaIl be used throughout the deveLopnent area for area lighting.

Currently a 33-foot right-of-rrayexists.along the west side of Audubon Road. staff is reiornnendin!that.uith the final plat, an additional 12 feet of right-of-way ilrequired to achieve a 50 foot dinension fron the centerline. Proposed Lake Drive is shown as a 60 right-of-way. This isconsistent with other industrial parks in -the city. Staff isreconmending that the right-of-way be Bo feet froro the interseetionat Audubon to the short cul-de-sac off of Lake Drive. This portionof the street should be designed rrith 2 exit lanes, one for teftturns, and the other for through traffic and right turn novements.fn addition, the radius on the curbs at all inteisections should bechanged to 30 feet. The street construction plans should alsoincorporate the southbound accel,eration and dLceleration ranesalong Audubon Road and the future alignrnent of Lake Drive. The development proposes a separate entrance from Iot 1 ontoAudubon. As discussed in the traffic eLeEent of the EAw, thisaccess is not favored by the staff. Holrever, due to the layout ofthe industrial/office park in this area, it nay be the best- way toget access to rot 1. The proposed deceleration lane should aii inright turns into Lot 1. According to the traffic report, Dost ofthe traffic novenents fron Lot 1 will travel nofth, 'reducint conflict with the traffic exiting from r,ake orive west, wtro willalso be traveling north. staff wourd recommend that the entrancedrive to Lot 1 be noved to the north (approxinately soo feei-northof Lake Drive west) so that it aligns -with ttre efisting drive tothe east of the property (StockdaleL).

As developuent pressure dictates, turn lanes and traffic control devices such as a signalized intersection at T.H. 5 and Audubon and possibly Lake Drive west Day be required. The applicant shall be required to participate in the acquisition of the traffic signal. The city proposes that the developer participate in the cost of thetraffic signal based on the traffic Aenerated from this deveLoploent. Landscapino/Tree Preservation The PUD landscape plan identifies plant naterial locations along the entire perineter of the cBC, the proposed Lake Drive roadway and two ntypicaltr planting plans for the individuaL Lots. Phase Iplanting shall occur upon completion of the utility constructj.on ior Phase t. The tandscaping as required in the PUD ordinanceshall act as a buffer acreen to adjoining properties. As currently planned, the city rri1l take title to outLot A and peruranently protect and naintain this area. There is a large stand of mature trees approxiroately 6 acres in size. The aPplicants are planning to preserve the existing mature stand of trees which include oak, ash, basswood and ironwood, ranging in size fron new growth to 3or caliper. There are no other significant stands of trees found on the property. Gradinq/Drainaqe The developDent will be graded in two phases. The first phase is the easteify one-half of the site. The overalf grading plan proposes grating the entire site and constructing a storm retention pona for storn runoff generated fron this developnent. The ietention pond wilL enc;oach into the flood plain and require nitigation.- As a result, the applicant proposed- increasing the depth of the flood plain to offset the area lost with the proposed relention pond. The aPPlicant met with the DNR on NoveDber 27, 1991, to ahdress their -ioncerns about grading in the flood plain (see attached letter). The grading plan has been revised to reflect no grading through the botton of Bluff creek a-long the banks. The slopel proposed with the retention pond will be a maxirnun slope of 3:1. staff reconDends that the north, east, and south slopes be a naxinum of 4:1 in order to facilitate access for rnaintenance equiprnent to the bottom of the ponding areas as well as safety Deasures. Chanhassen Business Center Ryan construction Decenber 4, L99L Page 14 The project proposes to construct a series of stono sewers to convey runoff from each individual Lot to the proposed retentionpond. Storn sewer calculations for a lO-year storm event should besubnitted to the City Engineering Departnent for review. Allretention ponds shall be built to NURP atandards and providenutrient renoval calculations. As a part of Phase I grading, the plans do not provide for anyretention pond for runoff generated over the easterly half of thisite. The plans propose draining the first phase of thedevelopnent tosards the railroad tracks with eventual.ly drainingsouthrresterly paralle1 to the railroad tracks into the flood plain. The applicant nust receive pernission fron the railroad authorityfor this work. Staff reconhends that this low area adjacent to thetracks be constructed into a secondary pondi.ng area for interin useor possibly pernanent ponding uses. As sith most retention ponding areas maj.ntenance responsibility aretransferred to the City. Ttre applicant shall dedicate and providea naintenance access drive to these areas for future mainlenanceconsiderations. The appropriate drainage and utility easenentsshould be conveyed over these areas with the final plat approval . Erosion Control With the construction of Phase I the plan purpose constructing atenporary access at Audubon Road and Lake Drive West. The plinsalso propose a silt tence along the nesterly retention pond aJweIIas the down strean side of the site grading. Due to the nagnitudeof the parcel being graded, it is recornmended that Type fII 6rosioncontrol be installed. It is also recommended with phase Iconstruction that erosion control (Type III) be installed along therresterly grading linits for erosion control neasures as well asnarking the linits of construction. Staff also recomnends that aI:rI)e I silt fence be placed along Audubon Road between the curband the proposed berr lying north of the future Lake Drive West. rhe plans call for aIl areas being artered due to construction andbe restored with seed and disc nulched, sod, wood-fiber blanket orbe hard surfaced within two weeks after construction. staff wouldlike to change this condition to read that all turf restorationshall be conpleted within two weeks after the site is graded. Utilities The l,tUSA lines have recently been expanded and this site now isincluded within this district. phase r naste water wilr flow tothe east and connected ln_t-o an existing 8rr sanitary line, flowingthrough the r,ake susan Hirls west 3rd subdivision. phase rr lraste Chanhassen Business Center Ryan construction Decenber 4, L99L Page 15 water is projected to flow to the rest, cross Bluff creek and be tied into a proposed sanitary sewer trunk line (Bluff Creek). A feasibillty study is currently being perforned by Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik and Associates for the Proposed Bluff creek sanitary seuer trunk line. Under the recently approved Comprehensive P1an, the Uwcc approved the placenent of a lift station in the vicinity of L,yrnan Boulevard into nhich the entire area could drain by gravity, utilj.ze forcemains to pump the sewage back up Audubon Road into the future Lake Drive west to the Iake Ann Interceptor. The cityrs engineering consultant, is exploring appropriate methods of how to serve this area. The development plan for Phase I is proposing extending an 8rr sewer line fron Heron Drive north along the Irest side of Audubon Road to provide service to Lots L,2,3, 4,5, LO, and 11, Block 1. Staff is reconnending that this nay be done on a temporary basis with the following conditions. Each site will have to be evaluated individualfy to ensure that there is sufficient capacity in the Lake susan Hi11s systen. staff is requesting a copy of the applicants calculations for capacity to verify inclusion of the residential buifd out the renainder of the Lake susan HiIIs area. Staff will also require that the Developers contract and the chain of Title restrict the flow on each lot so as not to exceed the capacity of the system. staff also recoDmends with the impleuentation of Phase If sanitary selrer improvements, if feasible, the sanitary sewer line proposed in Phase I should be switched to flow into the new sanitary trunk sewer systen. In order to provide sanitary sewer to Phase II of the cBc a trunk sewer wilL have to be constructed fron the south aLong Llman Blvd, which wi}l require a Lift station and forcenain system to PunP back up Audubon Road to discharge into the sanitary sewer Line at take Dlive West and Audubon Road. In addition, a sanj,tary seser lj.ne previously proposed with Lake Drive west lying east of Audubon Road witf atso have to be constructed. The Lake Ann Interceptor is located approxirnately one-third nile east of Audubon 'Road (see AttachDent) . As with any inproveroent project, the applicant is responsible for petitioning the city for extension of sanitary sewEr service to Phase II and paying for the initiat feasibility report study. Should the project be authorized, the aPPlicant will be- entitled to a refund of the security provided for the initial feasibility report study. Staff would like to point out that this parcel of land had not been assessed for sanitary trunk sewer yet. Even if the easterly half of the site is able to utitize the existing sanitary serrer at Heron Chanhassen Business Center Ryan construction December 4, l99L Page 16 Drive the entire tract of land should pay its fair share of thetrunk seuer systen to be built for Phase II. Utility and drainage easeroents should be conveyed with the finalplat over those areas where the sanitary sewer line extends out beyond the street Row. In addition the applicant shal1 dedicate tothe city an easement for the future trunk extension through outlotB. The drainage and utility easeuents shall be a nininum of 20feet wide. In an effort to provide access for maintenance it issuggested that a gravel access road or possibly a cornbination trailbe buil.t aLong the sanitary sewer route through Lots 7, 8, Out1otA and Outlot B. l,lunicipal uater service is available to the site fron Audubon Road. The plans call for extending a 10 inch water nain through the siteand looping back south to Audubon Road by continuing to the southand east back out to Audubon Road to conplete the loop. Staffreconnends that the watermain loop be extended southerly to within10 feet of the south property line and then proceed easterly to Audubon Road to provide for possibte future extension and loopingto the adjacent parcel to the south. In the areas of the developnent shere the rraternain is extendedoutside of the street right-of-rray, the final plat should convey a2o-foot wide drainage and uti].ity easenent over these areas.Detailed utility construction plans have been submitted, however nospecifications uere provided. Staff rri11 be preparing a report orthe construction plans and specifications uith the final plat. Park and Recreation A looped trail systen is being proposed for the north side of LakeDrive. Tbis trail systen will tie into the proposed trails forHeron Drive, Lake Drive West and access under the lailroad tracks.Tbe applicant will be required to pay the park dedication fee ( $3, 500. oolacre) and trail fees ($833.oo/acrel in the developmentcontract. }{o developDent shall occur on Outlot a it sha1l Uepreserrred as a open space. Because the project will be developed in phases, staff isrecouuending that the trail systen for a loop even lf it is on atenporary basis. It Dey be several years befoie the developroent iscorpleted and the trail systen uil1 be Dore functional if it toopsor ties into the existing systen. ErWIRONttEltltIr laSESStlElll rORXSEEEr The proposed proj ect as outlined in the EAW includes 93.7 acres ofproperty intended to be developed into zOO,Ooo square feet of buildings. Uses include 2ot office, 55* irarehousing, and 25t light industrial . The current land use on the eastern 71.5 acres is a conbination of farned soybean and cornfields, sparsely wooded edge condition, and noderate slopes and native vegetation. The proposed developnent is conpatible with the Conprehensive PIan and is located on a designated collector route, Audubon Road. The amount of existing crop ]and rill be reduced to 38.9 acres of inpervious surface and 28.3 acres of landscaping. The aDount of wooded,/brush/grassland will be approximately the saDe anount before and after developnent, 21.5 acres before and 24.7 acres after. Tlro 2 to 8 class rretlands will increase fron .75 acres to 1.55 acresafter development. outlot A contains an rrecoJ.ogically sensitiverr site. This site is a 5+ acre of hardwood forest which has evolved, and is a valuablenatural resource and will be preserved. This area of outlot A contains the upper portion of the Bluff creek drainage basin and ifnot protected, inpacts will be felt downstream. outlot A also contains a flood retention pond that will be built into the floodplain of Bluff creek. lhe alteration of the flood plain will need the approval of the DNR. Approxinately 78 acres uilI be graded which involves 480,000 cubic yards of excavation. At1 grading will be on site with no nateri.al being renoved. The.project will be graded in two phases. During construction Tltre III erosion control wifL be required. As a part of the erosion control neasures, the applicant should be reguiredto renove any naterials that manage to get into Bluff creek and to clean Audubon Road as often as necessary if mud, etc., is tracked out onto the right-of-way. Under the recently approved Conprehensive P1an, the l,lwcc approved the placenent of a lift station in the vicinity of Llman Boulevardinto uhich the entire area could drain by gravity, utilize forcenains to punp the sewage back up the hilL into the Lake AnnInterceptor. The cityts engineering consultant, is exploring appropriate Detbods of how to serve this area. The proposed developDent pLan for Phase I is connect into the Lake susan Hills sanitary sewer. The plans propose to extend an 8rl sewer line from Heron Drive north along the uest side of Audubon Road to provide service to Irts L, 2, 3, 4, 5, LO, and 11, Block 1. Staff is reconmending that this may be done on a tenporary basisrrith the conditions that each site will have to be evaluatedindividually to ensure that there is sufficient capacity in the Lake susan Hills systen. staff is requesting a copy of the Chanhassen Business center Ryan construction' DeceDber 4, L99L Page 17 chanhassen Business center Ryan construction Decenber 4, L99l Page 18 applicantrs caLculations for capacity to verify inclusion of theresidential build out in the renaining Lake Susan Hills area;Staff uiI] also require that a Developnent Contract be executed andplaced in the Chain of Title to restrict the flow on each Iot so asnot to exceed the capacity of the systen.

Current Average Traffic Volumes (ADT) were received by UnlDOT andthe City. In addition RIJ( Associates took 24 hour nachine countson T.H. 5 and Audubon Road. The analysis looked at the inpacts oftraffic Aenerated by Chanhassen Business Center for the yelrs 1992and 1996. Anticipated traffic entering and exiting the site is distributedwith 3472 ADT (80t) north and southbound on the Audubon Road.North of the site 858 ADT (20t) north and southbound from the site.Of the site traffic on Audubon Road northerLy of the site entrances2083 ADT (60t) is going to and from the eaat and T.H. 5 and 1389ADT (4ot) is going to and from the rrest on T.H. 5.

In the report it is recommended that the city contact UnDoTto request that a traffic sigmal be installed to coincide with the conpetition of PhaEe I of construction. The proposed driveway access onto Audubon Road from Lot 1 is not favored by the ataff. However, due to the layout of the industrial,/office park it may be best way to get access to Lot 1. The traffic study shorrs that nost of the turn movernents into thesite will be coming from southbound onto Audubon. A deceleration Iane has been designed to acconmodate right turns into Lot 1 and also Lake Drive west. Again according to the traffic report most of the traffic novenents from Lot 1 t iLl travel north, reducingconflict with the traffic exiting Lake Drive west, Idho will also be traveling north. staff uould reconmend that the entrance drive to lot 1 be Doved to the north (aPProxinately 500 feet north of Lake Drive west) so that it offsets into the existing drive to the east of the property (stockdales). Staff is concerned that when Audubon and Lake Drive west becone a fu1I blown intersection Irith channelization that there will not be enough stacking roon betlreenthe entrance drive on Iot 1 and the intersection of Lake Drive tlest . REZOI{IIIG Justification for Rezoninq to PUD The applicant is requesting to rezone approxinately 94 acres fron A-2 Agricultural Estate District to PUD-oI, Planned Unit Developnent office Industrial. The following review constitutes our evaluation of the PUD request. The review criteria are taken fron the intent section of the PUD ordinance. Section 20-501. Intent Planned unit developnent developnents offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of roost 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 developnent costs. fn exchangeior this enhanced flexibility, the City has the expectation that the devetopnent plan wilL result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than tould have been the case hrith the other, rnore standard zoning districts. It will be the appl.icantrs responsibility to deDonstrate that the cityrs expectations are to reatized as evaluated against the following criteria: 1 chanhassen Business center Ryan Construction December 4, 1991 Page 20 Planned unit developnents are to encourage the following: 2. 3. Preservation of desirable site characteristics and open space and protection of sensitive environmental features, including steep slopes, Dature trees, creeks, uetlands, lakes and scenic views .

The Conprehensive Plan Land Use !!apidentifies the creek corridor as Park/open Space. I,lore efficient and effective use of 1and, open space andpubtic facilities through nixing of land uses and asse'nhly anddevelopnent of land in larger parcels. Finding. The subj ect property is triangular in shape, boundedby the creek, railroad tracks and Audubon Road. The shape ofthe property prohibits design flexibility that one could findwith a flat square piece of property. The advantage in the PUD proposal is that the city is gaining a totally plannedconcept. ff this rere to develop separately as individualparcels, nany of these design considerations would not beincluded. These design elements include an approved signpackage, uniforn street and parking lot lighting, conpatibleor cohesive architecture and building materials. Thecoordination of site developnent will also inprove theefficiency and cost effectiveness of public improvenents. Forexanple, the project is large enough to help facilitate asolution to providing serrer service to the ne!, UUSA area.AIso, the development of a single, coroprehensive drainagesysten sill naxirnize the effectiveness of nutrient renovilefforts while reducing the cityrs long tern rnaintenance costs. lligh quality desigm.and design conpatibility with surroundingland uses, including both existing and planned.

Findinq. This site is bounded on the east by Audubon Road. The conprehensive Land use uap cal}s for a 50 foot buffer yard for additional buffering for the subdivision to the east. In addition, the comprehensive Plan calls for a 1oo foot bufferyard along the southern property line. This area will eventually be developed with single fanily homes consistentwith the comprehensive PIan. concept plans call for establishing an acceptable Iandscape buffer in the appropriateareas. site topography and tree cover will also place nuch ofthe site beyond the view of adj acent residential areas.

This area is located in proposed Outlot A area on the site plan. The conprehensive Plan also identifies abuffer strip 50 to 100 feet in width along Audubon Road and along tbe southern side of the property 1ine. The intent ofthis buffer line is to help preserve and establish vegetationto help nitigate the inpacts of developnent to surroundingproperties.

The creation of public open space may be required by the city. such park and open space shall be consistent uith the Conprehensive Park PLan and overafl trail p1an. Findina. The site plan shows a loop trail around theperimeter of the site, terrninating at the northern and southern property line along Audubon Road. The applicants may propose to develop only the south half of this loop, with a connection then being ruade through the railroad tunnel and onto the property to the north which is also controlled by Ryan Construction. In addition, the Park/open space corridor along Bluff creek, including the nature stand of trees, will be preserved.

At the City Council neeting of November 18, 1991, the foflowing itens r.rere reviewed: Final reading uas given to amendments to chapter 10, Article II, Liguor ordinance requiring legal notice for liguor license requests sirnilar to that rrhich is reguired for rezoning actions. Items related to a variance with an appeal of the decision of the Board of Adj.ustnents for c. w. Freenan at 7431 Dogiwood, relative to two' structures on a lot and zoning ordinance amendment regarding accessory dwellings was reviewed by the city council. The Planning Cornnission nay recall that this item began when the individual rrho owned a lot along Lake llinnewashta with an existing structure asked for approval of plans for a new hone. staff indicated that only one horne is illowed on a Iot but se vould allolr the older dwelling to renain if it sas rendered uninhabitable. The aPPlicant agreed to do so on the building pernit but then reneged on his pronise. He then appealed to the Board of Adjlrsturents to be lllowed to have two principal structures on a single lot. The Board initially continued tbe request to a1lo!, the drafting of a zoning ordinance amendment that could allow accessory dwellings if the ordinance uere to be approved. The Board of Adjustnents ultiuately reconmended denial of the request and strongly advocated that the proposed ordinance alnendment, which they believed to be i1l conceived, not be approved. The Planning Commission became involved with this during a review of the proposed ordinance anendnent. The connission recommended deniaL of the ordinance anendment since it was lDt,PRINTED ON BEC\CLED PAPER 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 ' CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900.

Ultinately, the City Council sa!, the wisdoro in not creating anew zoning ordinance as presently structured. They did, however, approve the variance to a1lor the second structure to reroain under several conditions. The conditions generallyinvolved llr. Freenan entering into a pernanentLy recorded agreement with the city that uould outline that if Dogwood Road is improved in the future, that the building irould berenoved at his expense, if Mr. Freernan noves or sells theproperty that the building lrou1d be renoved at his expense, and that as long as the building renains in plaee, it is notbeing used as a rental structure. !Ir. Freenan appeared to agree with these conditions and, in fact, he was the one who suggested the ultiuate renoval of the structure. At this tinethe City Attorney is drafting the document for signing andfil ing.

The City Council reviewed a plan that had earLier been reconnended for approvalby the Planning Connission. The docurnent the City Councilreviewed is somewhat different than the one the planning Commission revierred since poor soils were found on the easternportions of the site. In light of this, the entire site planvas shifted to the west, nhich we believe in nany respectsgives a nore aesthetically pleasing site since there is alarger anount of green space near the intersection of park Place and Park Road. The City Council ultinately approved therequest. The Planning CoEroission should note that staff did have aconcern regarding the use of painted trim highlights on thisbuilding. We reconmended against the use of painted trirnpreferring the use of netal or tile blocks that in our vieware Dore pernanent. The applicant pointed out that the entirestructure consists of block that would be painted. The CityCouncil agreed to the applicantls proposal to use paintedhighlight trirn but indicated that staff and the Planning Cornnrission should uork torrards elininating allowing the use ofpainted nasonry buildings in the future. lloon Valley Litigation. Fron tine to tj.me, staff has tried to keep the PLanning Commission and City Council abreast of the ongoing saga of l.{oon Valley. when rre last visited this issue, 4 Planning Conrnission Novenber 27, l99L Page 3 you may recal1 that I had rejected their application as being inadeguate in responding to the infornation requirernents of the zoning ordinance. After protracted }egal uaneuvering that had been initiated by the applicant, they preenptively triedto stop the city fron requiring a pernit of any sort, the casefinally came to trial on Novenber 25 and 25. In the trial before Judge Kanning at Carver county, 3 questions are up forresolution. The judge earlier found that the city does have a right to require that Noon Valley obtain a pernit. However, Uoon Valley sti11 naintains that the city, which nay have aright to regiulate them, has no right to linit then fromgetting every square inch of gravel out of the property thatthey so desire. we obviously take exception to thisinterpretation and our City Attorney believes that we are onstrong legal ground in this area. Secondly, rre are litigatingthe issue as to whether or not all of the l{oon val.ley operation is grandfathered in. Fron a historical prospective,the original Moon Valley operation was on property that had been owned by Wal1y Greipentrog and sold to Tou Zwiers, whichis located a1on9 Hrry. L69/2]-2. The city naintains that in L972 an ordinance nas adopted by the city which nade graveland nining excavation a conditional use. In 7973, ur.creipentrog bought the northern parcel located towards PioneerTrail from the then owner IrIr. Zinnerman. In 1987, there wasexcavation of clay naterial from this northern area which thecity intervened to try to stop. To the best of our knowledge,there has been no significant grading on this site before orsince this activity. The ltoon Va1ley operation is trying toassert that their grandfathered rights extend to this northernproperty. The city naintains that they have no grandfatheredrights in this area. The third itern is whether or not thecity acted in good faith or was reasonable in rejecting the oon Valley pernit application. The trial uas rather lengthy and I rras personally on thewitness stand for almost four hours. It is difficult at thispoint to guess at yhat kind of rulings nay be coroing down inthe future since written surnrnations are not due for anotherten days and I wiII assume it uilI take the judge sone tinethereafter to nake his final decision. Horrever, Judge Kanningdid at one point indicate that he appeared to be favorablydisposed towards the cityls position that the grandfatherrights do not extend to the northern parcel. In any event, it 1s ny hope that the rulings rrill Dove this iten off a deadcenter. It is ny belief that negotiations prior to this pointuith tbe applicant have not been productive. 5. Highuay 5 Corridor Study. The Hwy. 5 Corridor Task Force helda second neeting during mid-Novenber. Staff fron theUniversity of Uinnesota and Barry Warner of Barton AschnanAssociates briefed the task force on naterials they havecollected to date and their initial findings. While I wouldnot characterize the naterial that rras presented as earthshattering, a lot of it should prove to be useful in thefuture. fn many ways f believe that the findings that we reviewed are of indication of the planning process that you went through in developing the Conprehensive Plan. At thepresent tine, we are on track for the University to wrap uptheir initial effort by the end of the year. The task forceis discussing enbarking on a uore in-depth planning study thatrdould be conducted in the nanner made usual by the comprehensive plan process sone time after the first of theyear. Surface l{ater Uanagement Task Force. The task force heldtheir second neeting during nid-Novenber. They are beginning work on developing a strategy to evaluate wetlands as to rrhatsort of strategy should be used for each one. Other aspectsof the study were also updated. Staff filled the task forcein on a $130,000 grant application under the Clean waterPartnership that rre were naking to the Pollution ControlAgency. The grant would alLow for in-depth analysis andultiroately inpleroentation of solutions into the question ofdeclining water quality in Lotus Lake. The norning followingthe task force neeting, city staff, along with staff frorn Bonestroo Engineering, interviewed with the PCA so that rre could verbally fill thern in on our program.

The city then took legal action against lowell carlson to clean up the site of the contractorrs yard. The intent of theIegal action was to have the site cleaned up. The contractorrsyard activity was grandfathered in and had to be pennitted toremain. After going through the court process, LowelL carlson pleaded guilty to naintaining a public nuisance. The terns of l{r. carlsonrs sentence are as follows: clean up all itens on the list by septenber 22, t99L. ALl vehicles and equiprnent stored on site nust be licensed, operable, and not nissing any essential parts. 1 2 3 subnit a site plan to the city by Septenber 22, 1991.within sixty (50) days after the city approves the siteplan, ur. carlson nay have no exteri.or storage outside abuilding or an approved outside storage area. The city code now finits the size of an accessory structure in the RsF District to a rnaximum of 1,000 square feet. The City Code alsoprohibits the use of unadorned, prestressed concrete panels and concrete block. Since it is the goal of the city to work with !lr. Carlson to clean up his property uhile allorring him to rnaintain his business, the city wilt agree to the following: 1. A total storage area not to exceed 5,OOO square feet. The storage area may consist of a building and screenedoutdoor storage. The building nay not exceed 3r00o square feet. tVDt,PRINTED ON RECrcLED PAPER q Lwell carlEon site Plan lovenber 26, L99l Page 2 2 The building nay be a metal agricultural t)rpe buildingbut it nust have a pitched roof and be painted an earth tone color. The buiLding shall have landscaping to break up the expanse of the uaI1. The screened outdoor storage must be enclosed by a 10foot high, 1O0t opaque fence. All outdoor storage must be completely screened by the fence. No storage which exceeds the height of the fence wiII be perrnitted withinthe fenced area. The fence must be Iandscaped to breakup the expanse of the fence. All storage on site nust be either within the screenedoutdoor storage area or the building. The existingstorage sheds along the easterly border and all othervehj.cles, parts, materials, etc. nust be renoved fron thesite or placed in the screened outdoor storage area orbuilding. As part of the settlement agreement, llr. Carlson has subnitted asite plan lrith a proposed building. The site plan proposes a L2,4OO square foot building, sinilar to what lilr. Carlson has proposed in the past. A 12,400 square foot building is comparableto an industrial building found in the industrial office park. Thebuilding greatly exceeds the size that staff had stated would beacceptable. Therefore, staffrs current position is that theproposed site plan is excessive and cannot be accepted by the city. Prior to replying to Mr. carlson with the cityts position, stafffelt the Planning Conmission and City Councit shouLd have anopportunity to coDment on the proposed site plan and state whatthey feel is acceptable. Staff is looking for connents on howlarge the building should be pernitted to be, keeping in rnind thatthe site is in a residentially zoned district.

Chairman Emmings ca]Ied the 8F Gary Brown: I'm Gary Brobrn. f represent progress Valley. To address theU-Haul situation. That's what we rent is U-HauI Lrucks dor^rn thereprimariry, once in a r.rhiLe there's a coup).e trailers come in, stragglersand ue try to get rid of Lhose right ar.ray because we have gross down thereand we don't like hooking them up so thaL's pretty incidenial. But rthink, r know as far as that goes, that's a lot better place to that thoseU-HauI trucks I believe sitting down there with very minimal visibilitythan they are sitting over here in the middle of tor.,n I Lhink. And as faras, I read t.hrough the staff report and stuff on this and they'rerecommending that we put in some evergreens along the southh,est corner andwe don't have anv problem with that. rt wirr maie it look a lot prettier.And as far as a gravel base goes underneath where we,re going to park thesethings, we don't have any problem with that. [.re can hanJ]e that. Andpeople do need a place to park their big boats and motorhomes and such rikethat because I think it rooks better parking them dor^rn there in the fieldLhan it does parking them aII over the city. Emmings: Can I ask you, what kind of stuff is being stored outside? I,mnot talking about the trucks right nou,r but just what kind of outsidestorage Nas ther e? Gary Broun: There's I believe 2 or 3 motorhomes there and a couple ofboats and I believe one construction trailer - Emmi ngs: Okay . And if on the map that r^re ,ve got he.re of your . Gary Brou,n: If we put it in that back corner over there, the only personthat's really going to have to see it is a person who lives right next tothe storage center who happens to be my partner who's here,.Gary Dungey. Emmings: Okay, so the outside storage you,re proposing is the area that,sin Lhe box on that? Gary Brown: Correct - Planning November Commission HeeLi ng6, !99t - Page 2 Emmings: Then as far as where you keep the trucks and other things thatyou rent out, where are those kept? Gary Brown: !.le've been keeping them so to speak in the backyard rlght now. -Behind the building. Emmings: WeII, where on the map though? Gary Broun: Right about over in this area over in here. l.Jhere thi.s open Iand is right in here. So that is visible 6y 212. If ue put them back over in this corner, that ttould be Emmi ngs: Be less so - Gary Brown: That Nou]d be less visible if that's what you rrant to see Emmings: Now I noticed that the original approvaL required trees every 40 feet and a berm. tJas that done? olsen: They do have the landscaping in- Emmings: That was required by the original, okay. olsen: They just don't have the concrete curb Emmi ngs: okay. Is there anything else you'd Like us to take into consideration her e? Gary Brownr No. I think you guys are doing a great job. Conrad: Oh sure Gary. Gary Brown: You don't believe that Ladd? Emmings: At Least we're doing okay so far. Gary Brown: So far tonight we're doing great. Emmings: okay, Lhanks. Anybody else that u,ou]d Iike to say anything about this application? If noL, is there a motion to close the public hearing? Batzli moved, Conrad seconded to close the public hearing. AII voted in favor and the motion carried- The public hearing was closed- Emmings: Let me understand. I have some troubLe understanding the conditions Iisted on page 5. Are you ProPosing that we adopt? olsen: No. What happened is you didn't get the, those are, Emmings: They don't look Iike conditions. O1sen: RishL.

So we read the answers and make up the questions. Batzli : Ne'Il play Jeopardy. Olsen: They're in the ordinance. I apologize. I didn,t notice that. Emmings: Okay, so the recommendat ions are over here. Now in therecommendations you're tarking about evergreens in the southwest corner.l^Jhere's the southwest corner? Uhich way is north on our map?

You said we could adopt someconditions of Iandscaping but right now our standards for screening is,would Lhese meet our current requirements for outside screening?

By screening this Jo Ann, are these buildinss there r ight now? olsen: No, Conrad; They're not there so be putLing up a fence in thaL really we're right ouL in the oPen. So we'd aY ea? OIsen: No . Emmings: No, that's fence isn't iL? OIsen: Yeah, this already. conrad: I'm Lalking about tlhere we store - O]sen: There won't be any fencing. Gary Brown: Maybe I can help exPlain this. The whole project nou is fenced aII the way around. Olsen: tJith a chainlink fence - Gary Brown: There's 7 acres here aII completely fenced in. And we have trees. Conrad: That's within it? Gary Brown: This is within it, correct. This wiII remain. We've got 4 buildings up and fu.I1. The fifth slab is poured and we're waiting to Putthe building up nord. The snow kind of slowed lhings up a little so what we're rea.L].y asking Lo do is until we get the next three buildings up, which will be hopefully in the next 2 to 3 years, that wiII eliminate Lhis 'problem because then we uon't have any room for outside storage. Everylhing r,ri]l be conf ined. So what r.,e're trying to do is we're trying to supplement, we're trying to get some income in there to use that area Lo help defray aII the costs, t,le kind of got surprised wi.th Lhat new watershed thing and some things Iike that that go! very exPensive on us. So by renting ouL some U-HauI trucks and things like that, r.,e can defrav some of the costs. So I think what Jo Ann's ProPosed and correct me if I'm Planning November Commission MeeLi ng6, 7991 - Page 5 urong is to put some more evergreens along here to screen that from theresidential area. Correct? Olsen: Yeah. Gary Brown: I don't want to throw a monkey wrench into this deal but theone thing is, when oe first planted all the trees down Lhere, we put some 6and 7 foot evergreens in, Like about a dozen of them and we Iost everyone. tje put 5o-3 footers in and we've never rost one- Ue had the nurserycome doun and it's such sandy soil down there that those big ones, theycan't get 9oin9 in that soil. The guy told us we were kind of wasting ourmonev by putting those big ones in but nour those other ones have been inthere 2 vears and thev're about this tarr right now. r realize ulhat we'retrying to do is screen it and I don,t wanL to goof that thing up but Ithink it's kind of futire to put in 5 and 7 foot evergreen trees whenthey're not 9oin9 to last. Like I say, I don,t want io goof it up. Iagree whore heartedly Hith r^,hat staff recommends here- But r also r.Jant thething to look nice and r don't wanL to spend a rot of money on somethingthat isn't going to r.,ork. Ue bought a rot of trees from conky gros. .nL.had so much trouble they came down and tested the soil and litLle ones urillgrow wonderful in this. Big ones, they uon,t. They won't grasp because oftheir size and because of the soil conditions - t^,le i-rave takin sand as fardown as you can dig. Does that ansr^,er the question on that? Conrad: Yeah it does. So the outside screening doesn't count asscreening? The outside chainrink doesn't count as screening of this area? OIsen: I wouldn't consider a chainlink screening- Emmings: Mv recolLection there Ladd is the planning commission said youhad to use, recommended opaque fencing around the entire site and then whenit u,ent to City Council, that uas changed from opaque to chainlink. AmI r i ght? OIsen: Yes . Gary Brown: It r^,as changed for the reason of security and fire. If it,saII screened in, r mean peopre courd be in there breaking into the unitsand nobodv wourd ever see it. And another thing is fire. A fire courd begoing in there and untir it got higher than the fence, nobody would knowwhat's goi.ng on. so everybody, the Fire Department, the porice Departmentand everybody agreed that it r^ras a lot better idea Lo do it this way. Toscreen it at that time. Conrad: Okay. In terms of the trailer use - OIsen: It's a conditional use. Conrad: It is a conditional use. Andyou dependent on TH 2L2 for visibitity Gary Brourn: It.sure helps, truck rental . It is a permitted right now Gary you've got those, areto promote it? PLanning November Commission Meet i ng 6, l99t - Page 6 Conrad: Yeah. You know drive by's your best . having a U-HauI truck sittingGary Brown: Yeah. It's great advertising along there where they can see it. Conrad: That's what you r.rant . synopsis. No because? Staff's position is no. Try to give me a Olsen: tJe say no for the outside storage just because number one Nith the use, the rental of Lhe trailers were kind of on the fence with that one. But that's where we added the conditions where ue feel more comfortable with it. conrad: A couple of things. Detr j.mental to the neighborhood. t,lill not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or Planned neighborhood uses. tliII not be detriment to... I'm not sure where I'm at on this one- If you think about it in chanhassen, Gary brought up an interesting point in downLown where we have trailer rental. It's not my favorite site for it. It's got to be someplace. It should be someplace and I don't know how it works here. But this should be a place where we can rent trailers in Chanhassen so f have a tendency to b,ant to make it r^ror k somePlace, I iust don't know how it r.lorks down there and if we've got the right standards. It seems Iike a logical place to put it but I don't know that I'm real comfortable yet that ure've got Lhe right standards for that. Maybe we do- I guess I'd like to hear somebody else talk about Lhat from that PersPective. It's not that we shouldn,t have trailer rental. Truck and trailer rentaL in chan. There are better places for it than on our main street. And is this a good location and do we have, trailer rental should be visible. If you want to compare to a business Person, that's a great way to Promote it and we don't need to not Let that Person promote it so the question is' is this the righL place and do we have the right standards to guard the neighborhood? Maybe someone can persuade me one b,ay or another. Right noul I don't know. Gary Br own : right on Lhe other side. l^Je basically have corner of 272 and two neighbors. Stoughton there tle have AI Cohen who and then Gary Dungey lives on the Emmings; You haven't been asked yet. If he asks you thi ng . OLherr^rise . Gary Brown: I thought he was asking a question. I'm Conrad: Yeah, I was sort of addressing the Planning Emmings: He's musing. Ladd's in one of his musing. for us to a nswer . a question that's one sorry. Commission. .He's posing questions Conrad: I'm trying Lo Iet Lhem Persuade me Gary but yeah, I know what you have for residenLs. Or very close. I guess my concern is I'd want to have you visible there- I'd want it to be presented in the besL Possible t'uay and I'm concerned with 212 traffic. I'd want it to look good. As much as a truck lrailer place could Iook and what I don't know is LhaL h,e've got, I P.l.anning Nove mber Commission Meeti ng6, t99t - Page 7 don't know that ure've set the standards to make tha! look good and maybe wehave. That's why I'm sort of saying Lo these folks... Emmings: Jo Ann, we've got a mini-storage place up here on TH 5. Did we make it a condition of their approval that Lhey not do outside storage?That's the only other one we've got in Chanhassen isn't it? Olsen: Risht. That one's totally screened. Totally opaque. Emmi ngs: Opaque fenci ng? Olsen: Right. You can't see inside. Emmings: okav but there we said no outside storage that would protrudeabove the opaque fe nc i ng? Olsen: Cor r ecL . Emmings: But did we say no outside storage? O.l.sen: That I can't - Emmings: r seem to remember there was not outside storage that you couldsee above but the idea that we didn,t Hant to see outside storage. Olsen: Right. Emmings: okav. And now wait, there's another one down at Lhe end of TH 101there and \H 2L2. Isn't there some kind of storage in there too? Olsen: Mi ke Sorenson's? Emmings: ft's very small . Olgen: Yes . Emmings: Is that screened? There's not outside storage there? Olsen: No. It used Lo be screened by trees. Now it,s not screeried. Emmings: BuL is there outside storage allou,ed there? Olsen: I believe there was not. I think that,s b<jen a preLty muchstandard condition. Emmings: Okay. AIright, Brian? BatzIi: Yes. Emmings: Okay Jeff? ft,s your turn Brian, Batzli: WeII, I was trying to figure out here whether this r,louldn't bebetter handled as an interim use. Since Ne don,t allow this under the Planning November Commission Heet i ng 6, !99! - Page I conditionaL use, what's the difference between us approving this as an interim or conditional use? If we decide to approve the outside storage. Olsen: t^lhat's Lhe difference with the outside storage? Batzli: Yes. tlould it make any difference to you or the Citv if we approved it one way or another since it's not a permitted use under either one of Lhose categor ies. olsen: tJeLL I think you'd have to amend the ordinance to make outside storage an i nter im use. Batz]i: And not as a condiliona] use? Olsen: You could do it eiiher $ray thaL you'd want. Batzl.i: I'm just trying Lo ask. tJould we have to amend the ord.inance to approve this as a conditional use? olsen: outside storage , yes. Batzli: But you said in our thing here that if we decide to aPProve it, we're just supposed to do it with certain condiLions. olsen: As an amendment to the conditional use Permit. You'd be removing the condition that outside storage would not be Permitted. Baf-zli: But in addition to that we'd have to amend the ordinance to do it as a conditional use? OIsen; No. BatzI i : Nhy not? Olsen: I talked tha! over with Roger and no we don't because we can do it as parL of the condiLional use. The original conditional use. Batzli: I'm not tracking. It's not one of the uses allowed bv the ordinance under the conditional use. It's not allowed under interim Olsen: Rish!. Batzli: t^lhy can Ne do i! under Lhe condilional use? Olsen: As a part of the mini-storage. As an accessory part of the conditional use - Batzli: ft's not an allowed permitted accessory use- Ofsen: No it's not - Batzli: t^lhat I would Like to do, if we're going to ]cok a! Lhis, is whether or not we Hant to allow these outside storage as iL applies anybody and not just this particular applicint if ue're going to do use. dec i de tothis. PIanning November And so I wou]d, I don'! know. I don't have wheLher we want to allow other people to do As far as the truck Lrailer rental , I think Commission Heet i ng 6, 1997 - Page 9 Okay. And so I'm clear onwith what the staff reportrental you think. . . enough information abou! that dourn in the BF district. that's fi ne. uJhat you just said. You're agreeingsaid? It said no outside storage but Emm i ngs : basicallythe truck BatzIi:that but Right bu! if we're going to allow outdoor storage, I may allor.rthen I want to change Lhe ordinance to allow everybody to do it. Emmings: Yeah, okav. Conrad: t^,ait, wait. tJe don't al]ow outdoor storage period. Batzli: teII it's defined in here but I don,L know urhere it,s used. Conrad: I thought we did when it was screened but we don't. Emmings: t,ie do allow outside storage. That,s not accurate because I canthink of lots of examples where we do. Conrad: But noH f'm starting to question. Emmings: But i!'s always been screened. t^le have the dock place over hereand they had to put up opaque fencing. Ue had the mini-storage. They hadto do opaque screening in order to have outside storage. Those are theonly two that come right to mind. O]sen: AII of the olher business districts. Emmings: Oh, right here off of the end of this street there was outsidestorage of something. The little street that ends in a cul-de-sac rightoff Lhe end of Kerber. Conrad: So ls this particular toto the BF distr ict?the BF district? Is this just particular OIsen: Yes .district.The only business district that doesn't have it is the BF Conrad: O kay .

Do you the have a time Planning November Commission l.1eet i ng6, 799f - Page 10 t,lhe n Okay,It's not a bui ldi ngbut it's SO a Gary Brown: Le!'s hope not but you're righ!. Gary Brown: Far ma kes : sc hedu 1 e we fiII them aII up .Jeff . this is a progressive schedule. Progressive situation? could interrupt. Hy proposal would be to Iook at allowing it use and then saying you can do it for 2 ot 3 years but then, Gary Br own: BatzIi: If I as an i nter imthat's r ight . Gar y in or Brown: te either have to find a different area for them or come back we have to give them up. one or the other. Farmakes: I r.rouLd be somewhat concerned about this. I don't think that makes sense that you'd want to store that I guess as a temPorary use. tlhaL concernSmeis!hat'ssortofanopenendedtimeframe.Iftherewasalimit on there, give you a Iimit I could see that as being a sensible compromise Lo the problem. The problem's not addressed though. I'm also concerned, in seeing .Literature from Ryder and U-Haul, Part of the franchise suggestion in location of the signage lhat is on the trailers themselves is to billboard it in such a r.ray Lhat it's seen from the highuay obviously and U-Haul's very large on the trailers purposedly so if you line- them all up, they create a signage effect - Versus having one sign uP there that says U-HauI here, you've got 40 or 50 lined up in a row saypotentially. And in some cases the trucks are quiLe LaII. Big large trailers. So you get outside of the storage issue and it actually becomes -potentially a signage situation. I think as a separate issue, maybe thaL's something to deal with in a signage ordinance that we're look.ing at. AIso on these issues of what do we do with these outside trailer situations Suggestion anyway. Farmakes: And I'm not listing tha! as what you're proposing. I,m just saying potentially if you make a precedent for that, that somebody else maynot be trucks and trailers. It may be something el.se. But in an outsidestorage situation, t^rhat is painted on the side of it or whatever the intentthere is, I guess you still get sort of a visual ..- So f agree here thatthat maybe a separate issue to look at and if there,s a fixed time, maybe Yeah. So for instance the completion of Phase 3 may not occur for 10Farma kes : years? Farmakes: If at lhat point when you complete Phase 3, uhere would these trucks go? Gary BroNn: If you let us put Lhem back there where we want to, then you wouldn't have this billboard effect. It would be nice if you'd Iet us put one oul there along 212. If you don't want us to put one along 212, that'syou guy's business. That's your priviledge but all we're asking is to keep them and keep them back there in that corner where it isn't in anybody,s way . Planning November Commission Meet i ng 6, 199f - Page 11 thaL'd be the best Nay to 90. That you would eLiminate the traj.lers out of there . . .temporary. Emmings: Joan. Well how about, sorry to interrupt you but you addressed the truck thing. tlhat about the outside storage? Farmakes: I grouped tha! in there. Emmi ngs: Oh okay. Soeither if it was under Farmakes: On a temporary situation. I Lhink approved in here. That would be a reasonable you wouldn't be opposed to allowing outside storage those same conditions? based on what's already beensort of Lhi ng . Emmings: Okay . Joan, go ahead. Ahrens: As to the truck and trailer rental , the zoning ordinancepermits. . .I'm not familiar with the site - Gary Brown: It's just east fami liar - of Gednes PicLes half a miLe if you're Ahrens: that. . . Gary Brown: You know where Ahrens: Yes . Gary Brown: It's abou! 3,24 Ahrens: I know the general Assumption Seminary is? ofa mi le west of that. but I can't picture it. Right- but I can't picture where that storage is or anythi.ng like area Gary Brown: It's righL on the corner there. Ahrens: I think that u,e should be allowing truck and trailer rental.,,inour ordinance to all.ow it, I'm not sure this is the place iL should be but,correct me if I'm wrong but truck and trailer rental uras not part of thisoriginaL conditionaL use permit. OIsen: Correct . Ahrens: Nas or was not? OIsen: [,Jas no! . Ahrens: So this is kind of, you started the rental business. Gary Brown : Correct . l.le Here naive i n that we di.dn 't know we specia.I permit for that because of the fact that it's okay into do. You know it comes undernealh your Statute. Ahrens; Has there been any complaints from any residents? needed a that di str i ct PIa nni ng November Commission Meet i ng 6, f99t - Page 12 OIsen: No . No complaints .

TraiLers , L oY 2. have available for rental? had 15 trucks haven't we? Is there any there nou? No. they're all jusL mixed in with your other outside storage? the construction trailer. It's aIl mixed in together? Gary Brown: t^le lry to keeP it confined to one end. But vou're right. No, no, not really. The ouLside slorage is over to one side and the U-HauI r're keep on Lhe other side because Lhe U-HauI area we keeP Plowed out in the winter. So they are pretty much segregated right now. Ahrens: But you can see both the outside slorage and the rental trucks from the residential area? OIsen: Yes . Ahrens: And the outside storage, it was there when the City Council approved just a chainlink fence around it? olsen: No it was not. Ahrens: But they knew that was. Olsen: No. It was a specific condition that there be no outside sLorage. Ahrens: tlhat uras the purpose of Planning Commission asking for an oPaque fencing if there wasn'! going to be any outside storage or anything out? Olsen: HeIl the ordinance requires 6 foot high fences between residential and commerci.al . And then just to screen the buildings. Batzli: It has residential on 3 sides. PIanni ng November Commission Meet i ng6, 7997 - Page 13 Emmings: I think we. thought Lhe fence looked better buildings. Basically. It uras kind of a hot item as it kind of came dodn to aesthetics as I remembei but 490 . than a colLection ofI recall and I think!ha! was a long time Ahrens: It's hard for me to believe that even evergreens there areactually going to do anythi.ng to screen the outside storage. . .really want Lo try and screen it. Batzli: In 20 years it wiII. Ahrens: And I can understand that the purpose of your storage facility isto store...f understand that and I don't have any problem with thaL but Iwould like Lo see if we approve this lhat there be a limit, a time Limit on how long this outside storage can 90 on. I think that you may u,ant toforget about lhe landscaping, at least the 6 foot sized Lrees. Iunderstand his point there too. He u,ants to. plant a smaller type of tree,r'd go aLong, with that, BuL r don'! lhink Lhat if we do recommend approvalof the ouLdoor storage, that we put a time limit of tike 2 to 3 years. Andthen you'\/e got... Emmings: f guess my feeling about this is that there shouldn,t be outsidestorage at that site. I don't think there should be outside storage at anyof these mini-storage facilities unless they,re completely screened. Butas far as lhe kinds of things you're storing outside right now, I don,treally think, there's not that much of a difference between what you,restoring outside and the U-Haul trucks. I have no problem at all with thetruck rental thj.ng. I think it fits in with what you're doing hand inglove and I don'L have any problem lJith that at all. But I guess thereason that I don't want Lo jus!, I don'L urant to step over that thresholdof outside storage even though storing a few boats and a feuJ motorhomes seems pretty much the same thing as having trucks sitting there, I don't know what it's going to be next week. I don't know if it's going to be apile of tires or whaL the heII it's going to be but I think the whol.e ideabehind the mini-sLorage is, we're buildins spaces for people Lo storethings in in a neat fashion and f don't want to see stuff outside. So I'mabsolutely opposed to any outside storage. Like I say. Batz I i : Unscreened. Emmings: Unscreened. If he Hants Lo put up opaque fencing around that corner so it can't be seen from anywhere, then as long as it doesn't stick up above the fencing, I don't have a problem with it. Since we've done that other places in town, I r.lould say we could do it dou,n there. Right now I don'! think our ordinance would aLlotl him to have oulside sLorage period. So I Lhink we'd have to change the ordinance first. I'd r.tant to knor"r better why we don't have to change the ordinance before we allow it- The only other thing that uiould concern me abouL the truck rental I guess would be the scale. I want to know something abouL, you know 15 trucks and 2 trailers doesn't bother me at all- In fact f wouldn't care if it was more than that but if it's 15o or if they suddenly get to be real big irucks, that,s a totally different thing. And so I don't know how we could set any timit on scale tut can you give me some idea how big an oPeration you see? How many vehicles maximum you'Il be parking? Planning Novembe r Commission Meet i ng 6, 7991 - Pase 14 Gary Brown: It's a type of business that you've never going to many of them there because they always have Lo be rented. They goi ng somewhere . get very have to be Emmings: Yeah. If they're alI sitting there you're in trouble. Gary Broun: That's right. If they're all sitting there, we're not going to be renting any .longer because U-HauI isn't going to want us as a dealer. I can see urhere you're coming from. tlhy don't you Put a cap on it of 20 trucks and 4 trailers. I can live with that- Emmi ngs: O kay . Gary Brown: And somebody said 3 on it of , I condit ional d like to ask for 4 use permiL. That 'd years but be great too.Put year s the foot . a caP on a Emmi ngs: t,lhal 's biggest truck you rent? Gary Brown: 26 Emmi.ngs: okay. I guess if I was going to put caPS on it I'd want to say no trucks bigger than 25 feet and at any one time there wouldn't be more than 20 trucks and 4 trailers. Timewise I don't see any reason to Put a Iimit. I don't have any interest in limiting the U-HauL Because again I think the business fits together. If you decide not Lo do it later, that's fine. That's up to you. I don't see anv reason on Iimiting that. I think what they were talking about limiting was the outside storage and maybe !o limit because you're saying that once all the buildings are built you won't be doing it anymore anYway. Bu! since I'm oPPosed to outside storage that's not an issue for me. conrad: But you're not oPPosed to outside storage that's screened? Emmings: I'm not oPPosed to outside storage if it's screened - conrad: Are you opposed to outside storage in the BF district? Emmings: Yeah, we'd have to consider that. See that's why I think ue've got to look aL the ordinance. tle've got to look at Lhe BF sectiori of lhe ordinance and decide if we're going to do that and I think we've got to do that before Ne act on this if we want to aPprove it. If the majority of people here trant to do that, I think ule've got to look at the ordinance f irst. Conrad: That makes a ]ot of sense. Emmings: 90 I guess, I don't know Conrad: Jt sure makes sense to me thaL this is lhe area where we do someof these things. I just don't know that u,e have everything in place. Idon't want to set a precedent for bad sLuff. I,m concerned a litt]e bit.This is, whele Gary has his place, I Iike that area but it's, for this.However, if he was to the east by the bluffg in our BF dislrict, I don'twant it there so ve got a probLem with this. rt's great urhere you are r PIanning November Commission Meet i ng6, f99f - Page 15 think from our standpoint. I hope from Chaska's standpoint. l'4aybe not butit's still some real. Iogical things for these multi uses.

I guess I'd kind of like to table it until wecan have staff do some, a little bit more backgrounding noh, that they knowwhere we're coming from and maybe bring you back again Gary. It,s probablydealing more with the ordinance than with you. Just so we're not setti.ngprecedent for other folks. That's the wrong way Lo go. Emmings: Wel], do you Lrant to make a motion?

I don't under'stand stuff inside the screen. retail service and I don't Gary's got to put Lheir. Batzli.: It actually fits within the definition of outside storage though too. Having your trucks parked Lhere. Ahrens: But our ordinance permits it. Batzli: I know, which is interesting. Ahrens: So why do we have to table that Part? Emmings: Because I think what, at least r^rhat I think Ladd is saving is that storing, you're putting these Lrucks out. Yes it's Permitted, it's Iike a retail use. It's a conditional use that's allowed in this area but really what you're doing is storing a bunch of trucks outside and I think Ladd wants to make sure that ule've got ProPer condiLions for this conditional use before we just say okav, go ahead and we don't have any conditions in place right now. tle may want to screen somehoul however, or Ne may not. Emmi ngs; Yeah, exac!ly. Conrad: And what staff wrote down here, there are no specific standards for truck trailer renLal . GeneraL ones and it sort of seems strange thaL we're going Lo put a fence around truck lrailer rental . t^lell it's there- I don't k nour Farmakes: There are other uses...of that elsewhere- Not in this area but there are some other areas but basically it's used as a form of advertising up front by the road in town here.

Batzli: t"lell I t^,lhether that'sa look at that. think Pr oPer we to can Iook a! that under the general 12 conditions. allow them to park right next to the road and take Farmakes: I didn't say it u,as improper. It open ended thing. It's a retail parking lot developed area. l.Jhat is the proper area. . . Emmings: WelI I guess basically' it our act together. Gary Brown: One comment I would Iike Exactly what my feeling is is that we U-Haul thing because that's PermilLed just ouL sounds Iike we need more time to get to make is whaL Joan brought uP here. shouldn't be here even addressing the in Lhis district. -S or uhere, by the it's sort of an highway in a Emmings: No, it's a conditionaL use and what that means 'only allowed to do that once we say 9o ahead and do that' right noN the truck you 'r e r e nta.1. Conrad: or He may not. Planning Nolrember Commission Meet i n96, 1997 - Page t7 and you will haveuse. It's allowed it under these conditions. It's notconditional use. That's different. to dc as a a permi ttedIs that r ight? OIsen: Yes . Emmings: Okay. Okay there are permitted uses. That means if something,if it's just a permitted use in the district, it's something that you cando" Alright? Now that doesn't mean you don't have to get approvals onaspects of it but still it's something that you can do trithout asking anypermission from the City. On a conditional use, you have to say I h,ant todo this and then the City says, yes you can do it but only if you do itunder these conditions, And that's the difference between a permitled andconditional use and this is a conditional, all.owed conditional use. Gary Br own:a lot.l^Jell xhy don't you h,rite us and let us know. Alright, thanks Emmings: t,e've gfot a motion pending here. The motionentire thing and take a look at the ordinance.

All voted in favor and the motion carried. Ahrens: I'd be interested in Roger,s explanation aJ.Iowing that. Emmi ngs: Yeah, it seems what can be a conditional want. arbitrary because what's t^,e might as well urrite the sense of ljsting dourn anything we real use. Olsen: Risht.

That's not what you want on your main street. It's iust not right. I don't think anvbodv's plaving. Ahrens: I don't think we know what u,e want.

Conrad; They like to see cement mixers on main street? BaLzIi: I don't think they care. it bothers anybody. I've heard anybody outside of say that offends them. My neighbors have said that.

PUBLIC HEARING: ZONING ORDINANCE A].IENDHENT CONCERNING MOORING OF T^IATERCRAFT - PubIic Present: Emmings: Alright sir, if you just LeIl us your name and address. Emmi ngs: Okay, Lhank you. Bernie Schneider: Hy name is Bernie Schneider. I live at 7501 tlest 77thStreet. That's on the southwest corner of Lake Hinnewashta. I saw the ad -in the Chanhassen VilIager regarding the hearing tonight and apparently nottoo many other recreational beachlot participants are interested in thisbut I came here to find out what action is going to be taken tonight and what I should direct our members of the association to do. I did notrealize that it pertained onLy !o the setback requiremenLs. Emmings: Bernie we had at ]east one case I know of that came up this summer and it h,as on Minnewashta where somebody actually moored Lheir boatin front of somebody else's proper.ty. Those concerns wound up motivating us to take a look at some of this stuff. And lhe City Council r.rill be Iooking at a specific rule against Lhat. Then also making sure that boats are kept in front of the property they're supposed to be in front of. That's really the intent here, Bernie Schneider: UelI I have nothing further to say.

Emmings: See it's weird and you can'tapplication it's not a probLem because middle of Lhe lake. This extended side lot line. It talks far out does that so? other ones I think. or unmeandered lake too I think. Some understand it but in practical nobody moors their boat in the Ahrens: I 'm just talking about. Ernmings: Yeah, I don't know. I think you run those IoL lines out, people moor their boats close enough to shore so they can get at them. So in anyapplication is pretty easy to figure out. It's only when you geL furLher out that things get rea]ly, and people aren't usi.ng thaL part of the lake. Ahrens: Nobody moors their boaLs.

Emmings: tJhat we're saying is, if you,re going to moor a boat, you'regoing to do it in front of your own property. Ahrens: Why? Emmings: tlhy? Okay let me ask you a question. Farmakes: So somebody doesn't 9o in front of somebody else. Ahrens : t"Jho or.rns the Ia ke? BetzIi : PubIic. Ahrens: Yeah. Emmings: tle']l go moor all of our boats in front of Ladd,s house.

ThatPeoPIe who, that properLy r4as up for sale and the sale uasn,t closed butthe person who was buying the property was real upseL about it. Batzli: It's a landowner,s right kind of thing. A riparian,s right kindof a real conservative which stuns me because this person isn,t normallythis conservative but you're paying for the property taxes on the lake. you uJant to be able to see the lake. you want to be able to have access toyour dcck.

They can't do it or they can't even park a car'24 hours can they? Batzli: But you know so they park it there every other day aLl winter. They come and lhey move it a little bit so thev're inside the law. ThaL might be an irritant to you. If it was a real junky car vou might not like it. I understand t hat Uhy?

Are we knowledgeable enough to know which Lhe Iot lines are going as they approach the Iake thaL this doesn't impede on somebody's? t^le]l we're iusL looking at beachlot right? Are all of our beachlots, do aII of them have reLaLivelv straight lines as they approach the lake? Is one of them at a 45 degree angle? Emmings: ,..that uouldn't be a Problem. Emmings: Actually the part that u,e're Iooking at, the Part that we're looking at here isn't even tha! Part. The only part that we've got to Pass -ris are ue going to have, when PeoPIe Put, whatever they're PermiLted to do' Ias you extend their ]ot lines out into the lake, whatever they're permitted to do with watercraft in front of their ProPertv, thev have !o do it t^tithin Lhose extended lot lines so they'r'e not going over onto lhe neighbors I'ot '''l line. That seems eminently reasonable to me, This one doesn't even say you have !o o!^,n those boats. That's the Part that the City Council's doing. -t Planning November Commission l,leet i ng 6, 7991 - Page 23 Batzli: There should be a rule of reason here. Ahren3: The regulations sometimes causes mcre problem. OLsen: The part you're acting on is just with Lhe recreational beachlots. There's a section, the identical section that's going to be going under more under the water, boats and u,,aterhrays section of the ordinance so Lhiswill be applying to aII lots. Not just recrealional beachlots Batz]i: That's right and that's what kind of scares me from the standpointthat we have no clue what these lot, Iines look like and if it's approachingthe lake at a 45 degree angle, you can park your boat way out in front ofthe other guy's house anyway. t",lhat are Ne rea]Iy doing? Emmings: Again you're looking at. Batzli: There have got to be a lot of lots around the Lakes that don'thave a 9C cjegree tangent. Farmakes: l.4ine's a lrapezoid. Goes down to the lake.

They would have charged me for it but I iust didn't knou any better. Emmings: And it's easy for them Lo do it. So easy for them. Ahrens: Yeah. They buy them in bulk and it's probably even cheaper than $1OO.oo a piece.

I think we answered a ]ot of questions. There were a few that didn't show up but we had a representative from each of the associations. Emmings: [^,ere they hostile to this or prelty recepLive? Aanenson: There uias a few that are going to be sticky. Olsen: Because they admit Lhat they've expanded but they want to keep whatthey've got.

Ahrens: t^lhat if it's not grou,,n on the property like Kerber's? Aanenson: That one's grandfathered in. There are some that aregrandfathered. But if it's grown on the site, that I guess we ask for somebody. If you have different feelings on that. But ue have set up other standards too. I'Il take the time to go through some of those, The inforriration that Ne require they submit and that the Director would havethe authority to revoke, close them down if they weren't meeting Lhe condi t ions - Emmings: You're suggesting that we adopL Lhis ordinance, Aanenson: tlell if you u,ant us to apply it for Christmas tree sales. If you want us Lo come back with a specific ordinance, we'd draf! something uP. If-you felt comfortable looking at that. tle'd Iike something in Place to evaluate Christmas tree sales only at this time.

So if you feel comfortable ordinance, I guess Lhat urould be what we're Iooking Aanenson: No , it'ssection in the Code under each chapter. Emmings: Right but it seems to fle have maybe something this Iong for Emmings: Are you going to have to write, this is a fairly lengthy and detailed ordinance. Are we going to have to do this, something of Lhis Iength for each and every one of these things that comes along? Or aregoing to Lry and do something that, you knou uhat I mean? t"Jhat if, is Lhere some way that we can write this into a single ordinance or do weto have one for Christmas trees? One for ice cream vendors? an ordinance it needs as far as drafting anfor some direction. that that chapter is going to have to each. You don't foresee that? you ha ve one ordinance. It would fit under, we would create athat just says temporary uses. Boom. It doesn'L go I! doesn't get amended. PIanning Nove mber Commission Heet i ng6, L99L - Page 37 Aanenson: No. No. It wouLd just be a separate section in the zoning t^rould say, f found a place to put it. You know you Iook under general. standards or supplementary regulations. Say Iike temporary sales andwould be the criteria. You uouldn't have to put it under each one. Irevieu that uifh Roger but. that this can Batzli: f'm just not tracking tonight I don't think. t,hyconsidered an interim use and processed under the interim isn' use t this just perm it? Aanenson: LeL me 90 back to mv background information where r talked aboutthat. rf vou Iook specificalrv under interim uses it Iists specific usesokay? And thi.s goes back to r.,,hat Steve is saying. If you try to so backand try to build criteria under each one of those, then you have to putthis lengthy documenL under each one of those interim uses. So what we'retrving tc do is cover all the zoning districts in one prace and that r.rouldbe this. If you tried to do it the way you,re talking about Brian, you,dhave to go back and develop the criteria under each interim use. Ahrens: I think this is a good idea. Batzli: See I look under our current ordinanceaIl.owed, it's temporary sales of retail things.it in our interim use. I don,t understand this. and under most uhere it'sI mean we've already got Emmi nge: WeL Ito allcr,r, as he says here, the purpose of the interim use permi! was Batzli: I understand wha! b,e put in here, Aanenson: There's a couple of problems u,ith interimto come to the Planning Commission and the,uses. Okay, you have Emmings: This is temporary sares that are kind of self limiting wherethere what we're saying is, you can do this here temporarily uniil youthis. UntiI this event. I think there,s a distinction.do Aanenson: And the other thing is, i.f somebody comes in for an inLerim,they have to go to the Planning Commission and the City Council. Ifsomebody comes in for Christmas tree sales every year, basically r.re,regoing to know where it's going Lo go. you,ve told us what eriteria. Doyou hrant them !o come back through the planning commission and city councilevery year when ue arready know we've got estab!.ished criteria and we feelcomfortable with that. That's !.rhat ne,re Lrying to do. Those types ofuses that ule don't have to bring back every year. Emminss: So it wiII be handled administratively. Aanenson r Exactly. You've set forth the criteria that you urant us toevaluate those. And thev come in 10 days before i.nstead now we have peopre ccme in and we say gee, weII really to get your ChrisLmas tree sales youhave to start in October to get through the whole process. So that'srealIy the intent of this. Emrnings: That makes sense doesn't it? Planning November Ccmmission Meet i ng6, 799! - Page 38 Batzli: So you Hant. Emmings: Are you tracking now Brian? Batzli: I'm tracking. I understand t^rhat she a temporary use. I just don't like temporary used in the definition of interim use. wants now. use because You can 't temporary call use itis Emm i ngs : Aanenson: How about LemPorary sales? Yeah. Tha!'s really what it is. Except some are seasonal . Emnrings: But basically they're coming in saying I want a ]icense Lo seII christmas trees for 2O days. It's kind of Iike getting a dog license. Batz]i: Then the question is under, for examP]e. If you ]ook under business neighborhood. One of the interim uses is temPorarv outdoor djsplay of merchandise for sa]e. Then the quesLion is, do we still that in the interim use as a PermitLed interim use tvPe thins? Emminss: I'm starting to actually dislike vou. Just kidding- Batzli: You're not starting. You never did like me. our ne ed Emmings: Okay, let's talk about iL. Eatzli: Ne have a Iot of Places in the ordinance where we talk about temporary outdoor display of merchandise for sale which I thought included Christnras trees. Now the fact that we don't want to have to make these people jump through some hooPs to start in SePtember, actually Planning ahead for the Christras trees thev're going to seII in December, I mean do r^re c.are? Do we want this easy little way for administrative aPProvals so we don't have to see it? If He want that, why do ule need it still under the interim use section? Is Lhere a distinction that something !^re may h,ant somebody to have a Ionger time Period that Ne would want them to jumP through hoops? Emmj.ngs: or they need no space at a.II because Lhey're driving around with their ice cream truck. But the other one aPplies to someone who has an established Iocation and they're doing someLhing on a temporary basis Iguess. I don't know. I never thought about it. Have you looked through lhe ordinance Lo see if these things fit together? Ahrens: !.JeIl the distinction seems to be thaL for existing retail shoPs where they may have on an ongoing basis maybe monLhly sales, special sales uhere they pull all Lheir merchandise out of the store and set it out in front of the store and it's not a seasonal use. It's not a sPecial kind of- use. I!'s something they do on an ongoing basis. Right? Aanenson: RighL. And it's not a ProPerty ou,ner. This Person is probablv somebody who's just renting some sPace from somebody for a short period of time whereas Iike you're saying Joan, maybe the hardware store in the winter puts out their snotblouoers and in lhe summer their lar,rnmoNers are out. Planning November Commission Meet i ng6, 1991 - Page 39 Aanenson: Yes. Paul and I spent some time going through that and like Isey, it specifically talked about Chri-stmas tree sales but we aLso wantedto know what ycrur feelings were on other temporary sales. .If you wanted !oIook at something like that.

Aanenson: f'm assuming it's in the residential, yeah. OIsen: lJe'd say there's no regulaLions permiLting that. Batzli: Let's put it more in perspective. !^le're going to have an artfair. At the art fair 10 to 1 they,re going to have a IitLIe donut truck.Do these people need to come in and get a temporary sales permit? Aanenson: Right now I believe they're supposed to get a solicitationpermiL. Emmi ngs: A what? Aanenson: A peddlers or solicitors. And all it does, they're registeringwith the City so ue know u,rho they are if ue have a complaint. There's no,whic-h gets into a whole different thing. It's business Iicensing butthaL's just so we know ulho's in the city. Because He do have peopLe thatgo door to door and they are supposed to register.

The park and ride lots. Should we handle these things via temporary sales rather than include it in the ordinance as a conditional use for those things? Emmings: t^Jhat do you think?

Proposer Bvan Construclion Comoanv Township 116 Bange @. Clity/Twp Chanhassen 6. The site is currently used agriculturally, soybean felds cover mosl ol the site. The tarmed atea consisls of 71.6 acres ot the 93.7 developable area. The 12 lots proposed are localed in this farmed area. There are lwo lots being created where developmenl is nol scheduled lo occur; Outlol A which will be approximately 14.3 acres and Outlot B which will be approximately 7.8 acres. A storm water retenlion pond is bdng proposed on a portion ol Outlot A. Oullot B, located larther to lhe west, is physically separated llom the main portion ol the site by Outlot A lt is not leasible lo access this parcel trom Audubon Road without causing significant environnrental darnage. The 71.6 acre, 12 lot development will be developed in two phases lor lhe grading, utility and roadway installations. Phase I will occupy the eastern 341 acres; along Audubon Boad and Phase ll will occupy lhe weslern 38 + acres. The limits ol Phase I and ll are identifed on Figures 6 and 7. Phase I grading will utilize the low area on Lot 6 (see Figure '10) tor the storm water runotl withoul an outel to Blut eeek. Nol until Phase ll begins will any development run-ot, be direcled towards the storm retention pond in Outlot A and the Bluf, creek watershed . Phases I sanitary sewer will be direcled lo lhe easl, into the tr line serving the Lake Susan Hills atea. Phase ll sanitary sewer is proposed to flow to the west and b€ conn€cted to the proiected Blun creek tunk line, currently under a ,easibility study. All lots will be connected to City water and sanitary sewer. 2 The proposed plan would result in the ullimate devdopinent of approximatery 7m,000 square ,eet ol olfce and industrial space on lhe easlern 71.6 acre subdMded into 12 lots (see Figure 4). lt is proposed thal this be developed in phases over a period ol several )rears and that some ol the internal ampro\ernenls will also be accordingly phased. Access inlo the site will be provided by an inlernal public cuFdesac roadway lhat would align with the future connection ol Lake Orive to the easl. Oue lo site topography and sunounding land uses, it is not ,easible to construct a loop street syslem or to connecl lhis steet farthet to the wesl. Audubon Road will provide lhe sole access to the internal public cuFdesac proposed lo be called Lake Orive. Audubon Boad was upgraded by the Cily in 1990 in the expectalion thal tatlic volumes would be increased in the near future. There are no steep slopes, malure Eees, creeks, or olher unique site characte.islics within lhe gently rolling lopography ol the 71.6 acres (see Figure 2). Wthin the north, norlheaslern portion ol Ou{ot A thete exists a latge, rnature stand ol Oak, Ash, Basswood,and lronwood trees (see Figure 5). A recent tree irwenlory has lound lhese deciduous trees ranging in size tom new growth to 30 inch caliper measured al the trunk.

Describe measures lo laken to minimize or avoid ad\€rse impacls. Outlot A is the only portion ol the site which is "ecologically sensiwe'; however, in the surveyors opin'on, it does not meet the strict criteria necessary lo answer question 11b as yes. The developer is highly concerned as to the impacl lhe proposed devdopment will have on the sunounding land use and waler resources. Precaulions identified in the other sections ot lhis EAW speak to prolective ftpans which will be utilized prior, during and atler consfuction. The Outlol A' pond will require placing 20,000 c.y. o, fill, which will displace 12.4 acres - ft. ol storage within the iood plain. This will be mitigaled by increesing ltle storage capacity ol the f,ood plain in Outlot A and a portion of Outlot B by excavating 20,000 c.y., according to the grading plan on Figure 6. AI grading operations will utilize erosion control measures as shown on Figure 6 and all disturbed areas will be reseeded at the conclusion ol the grading process. An outlall stucture will be included to provide regulaled outiow lrom the pond, discharging as shown inlo an existing diich draining lo Elutl Ge€k. b 12. A site survey was conducted lo identity the exislence ot any "ecologically sensiti\re resources," The site survey did not uncover any threatened or endangered species, habitats that are rare state! ride or locally, cblonial waterbird nesling colonies or "high" quality weuand complexes. Howe\rer, it was noled the 5 + acres ol hardwood lorest which has evolved is a valuable natural resource and will be preseryed. The area basically contained by Ouuot A (see Figures 4 and 5) contains lhe upper reaches of the Blul, OEek drainage basin and ll not properly protected, lhe downstream water quality and ultimately the Minnesota Ri\€r, will srJtl€r lhe consequences. Curren0y, there is a small cornfeld in Ou ot A and it is lhe dsrdope/s intent io ulilize lhis area for llood storage mitigation which, at the conclusion ol Phase ll, will increase the welland cover/ habitat.

One additional soil type is identifed in the north cental low area o, the site and tlE rnaiority ol Outlot A this soil type is a Glencoe silty clay loam. The low area (cunenuy identifed as Lot No.6) has periodic sianding water and is subiected lo seasonal ponding. The Hayden/Lester soils are deep rnedium texture lo moderalely fine lextured soils and are typically associated with upland/rolling lopography.

The abo\€ slopes are not scheduled to be modifed except lor installing underground ulililies and a ponding area west ol Lol 8. Subsequenl to the grading operations, a 3:1 slope is proposed between the ponding area and the ds/dopablo lots. Al 3:1 slopes will be seeded with native/grassy vegetation and left to naturally mulliply withoul providing mowing or regular rnainlenance. During construction silt lencing and/or hay bales will be utilized to protect the steep slope and minimize erosion.

Describe rnelhods to be used to manage and/or teal runotl. a The runoll ,rom the northerly 15 de\rdoped acres will b€ routed norlhwesterly lowards ttle ditch ard swale area along lhe south side ol lhe railroad. This area cunen{y recd\res runot{ lrom the northwesterly portion o, lhe site, and does not outlet to the fioodplain. The increase in impervious surlace lor lhis area will be relawely small, on the order of 4 acres. The increase in tota, runoll is estimated al one acre-root, only 20% greater than the present 4 acreteet. This small increase in runoll should have no significant impact, and will be absorbed into the ground and evaporaled as in the existing case. ln addilion, approximately two (2) acr6 ol developed area fom Lot 1 and 3 will drain e-<tedy into Audubon road and the existing slorm sewer syslem. 6 Approximately 78 acres to be graded, with 480,0@ cu. yds. ol excavation. Cunenlly, the area occupied by the proposed Lot 6 is a low atea which receives runol, fom 52 acres. Based upon our analysis, lhere does not appear to be an ouuet lrom this low area. The remaining 22 acres fbw loward the Blutt Creek. The existing land use is row ctops which allows valuable soils to be continually rvashed towards these two low areas. The existing runot fom ll€ row crops contaan a high amount ol sedimenl at relatively slow velocities and excessive lertilizer nufients within the runotf. Phase I ol lhe development will not impact the Blutl Creek Watetshed with any surhce runoft. As shown in Figure 10 the surhce runotl will be captured in proposed Lot 6. Phase ll proposes the installalion o, a storm retention pond which has been designed lq a 1*year,24-hour storm duration, single event. This pond is proposed to be partially within the flood plain elevation o, Ou{ot A The runoll lrom 57 developed acres will concenfate and increase the rale of runoll due lo the imp€rvious acreage. However, lhrough ponding and outflow resfictions, the runolt entering Blufi qeek will not exceed lhe predevelopment rate ot 3 cubic leet per second. Secondly, lhe reduclion in sedirnent and tertilizer nufienls removed ,rom the pre- developmenl row crop status will improve the waler quality entering the Blutl Oeek Walershed. The amounr ot sedimentralion entering ttE Blut Oeek steam bed will be minimal due to the ponding and weir sfucture proposed in the drainage pond. The proposed pond is designed to provide approximately 10.5 acreleet o, temporary storage and 5 acr+reet o, permanent or "dead storage'at a depth of 4 ,eet, with a water surlace ,ea ol 1.5 acres. b The roule proposed lor tt|e stormwaler fom most ol the devdoprnent shall be ltyough a combinalion ol curb and gutler, surrace runotl and storm sewer piping.

Aidubon Road is a ntrtl}south collector between T.H.5 on the north and Lyman -Eoulevard/CSAH 18 and 17lo the south. Curenty, Audubon has an ADT ol 2,939 south ol T.H. 5 and 1,594 north ot Lyman. These roadwa)E are included in the 'Eastern Ca^er County Comprehensive Transporlation Planning Study." This Study docurnents the existing volurnes and year 2010 lorecasted volumes and related improvernent pro,ects needed to supporl the anticipaled growlh based on project land uses and growth potential. Yeer 2O1O lorecasled volumes on Audubon are 10,780 to t 1,100 ADT which includes the anficipated growth in this area. 1989 and 1990 consfucton proiecls ha\re been compleled that have addressed both the capacity and salety defciencies to handle anticipated g.owth to the )rear 2010. 23 vetide.fdabd ai e.risgo.E Provide an estimate ol tho etlect ol the proiecl's tatfic generation on air quality, including carbon monoxide levels.

Figure 1 shows the site that is bounded on the north and west by the Twin Cities and l{estern Railroad, on the east by Audubon Road, on the south by land guided in the Conprehensive PIan forresidential purposes. The western portion of the site is occupied bythe Bluff Creek fl,ood plain district. Ryan Construction Company,hereafter referred to as the developer, is proposing to develop theproperty into what sha1l be hereafter referred to as the Chanhassen Business Center (CBC). The first strategic step in the implenentation of the CBC developmentplan is to rezone the property from its current Agriculture - 2 zoning classification into a Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoningclassification. This docunent represents the narrative that accompanies the seven sheet plan submittal and demonstrates in moredetai.l the development proposal . The developer, is submitting theFinal PUD DeveLopment .package including a narrative, plan sheets, the EAw, and a traffic study. Upon approval of the final PUD a finalplat will then be filed in accordance with the City Councilapprovals. It is the expectation of the developer that this entireprocess will be successfully completed prior to the end of thecalendar year of 1991 . 'l . To lealize the development of twelve buildable lots withan building density of ?00,000 s.f.;2. To leave the two outlots on the lrestern end of thetriangular area as open space;3. To create a public utility systern, pond and roadwaywithin the Business Center;4. To lay-out a long range developrnent schedule that emphasizes controlfed development sites; and5. To construct a guality Industrial park in the City of Chanhassen . GOALS OF THE PROJECT: Ultinately, the primary goal of the developeris to devel-op the 94 acre Chanhassen Business Center (CBC) using the PUD zoning concept. There are several objectives that support theprimary goal: Chanhassen Narrative, Final Plan Submittal The site described earlier and shown on Sigure 11 is guided forindustrial developrnent by the City's Comprehensive Plan. In order to create a PUD for this site, the developer intends to follow the City PUD zoning approval process. The developer wishes to enhance theflexibility of development of the sites within the 94 acre tract of land through the relaxation of the zoning district standards. Inreturn, the developer's intent is to exchange improved guality of the finished development project. The PUD will encourage the itens listed in Article VIII, Divisionof Section 20-501 . Later, in the details that are contained in thnarrative document, the methods by which the City's expectations w be met are demonstrated. The discussion relates to the submittalplan sheet documents.

DTSCUSSTON OF ITIE PRO'EET DETAILS (1) Preservation of clesirable site characteristics and open space and protection of sensitive environoental features, including steep slopes, mature trees, creeks, retlands, lakes and scenic views. The site exists as an agricultural. fieltl that has been farmed for crop production for many years. Plan Sheet f2, Existing conditions, demonstrates the Soybean field that overLays nost of the site, this area consists of the eastern 71 .5 acres of the 93.7 acre site. The 12 developable lots are proposed for the 71 .5 acre area. Gradingwitl be completecl to maintain an earthwork balance (cut and fill) arrangement oo the site. There are no steep sloPes, mature trees, creeks, wetlands, or other site characteristics in the 71.6 acre area that need unusual protection. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet has been prepareil to assess the inpact of development on this property . within the portion of the site labelled Outlot A and B, there is a large, mature stand of oak, Ash, Basswood, and rronwood trees. A recent tree inventory has found these deciduous trees ranging in size from new growth to 30 inches neasured at the trunk. A11 of these trees will be naintained. Besides the forest of tf,ees, the characteristics of Outlot A and B include upland and lolrland vegetation, the Bluff creek stream bed, flood plain area and interesting transitional slope areas. Both of these outlots wifl be maintained in their existing condition. There are no Plans to develop the western 22.1 acres of this tliangular Piece of property. Page 4 PLanned Unit Developments (PUD) offer enhanced flexibility for the developer to achieve a more creative use of the land while easing the normal zoni.ng district stanilards. In exchange, the City expects thatthe development plan will result in a sigmificantly higher guality and more sensitive proposal than in the tnore standard zoning district development proposal . This section of the Narrative discusses thestrategies of the developnent plan for the CBC related to criteria the City has indicated an interest in reviewing. Chanhassen Narrative, Final PIan Submittal A drainage pond sized accordingly for the future development of the 12 lots is proposed to be constructed in the southeast corner ofOutlot A (see sheet 3). This storm water retention pond will be constructed to DNR standards, and the Best Managernent Practices inorder to remove sediment and nutrients and keep all runoff below pre- development rates. It should be noted the EAw addresses the stormwater runoff in greater detail . Slopes abutting the storrn drainage pond will be at a maximum of 3:1 and wiII be seeded withnative/grass mixtures and are not scheduled to be mowed. Additionalflood storage in Outlot A and B is necessary because of the placementof the storm water pond. The grailing proposed in Outlot A and B willincrease the Type IIf vegetation, resulting in a more natural floodplain environment . The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map identifies Bluff Creek Basin(essentially Outlot A) as a park/open space corridor. It may befeasible for the developer and the City to prepare agreenents whichtransfer ownership of Outlot A to the City as part of the f inal.platting process. (2) More efficient and effective use of 1and, open space ald pubticfacilities through mixing of land uses and asseably and developmentof land in larger parcels. The twelve developable lots range from 3.3 acres to 10.0 acres ins1?e. Approximately 4 acres of roadway and utility easement area, inaddition to 14 acres of open space (Outlot A) will be dedicated tothe City. The PUD wiII a11ow the developer flexibility in planningthe actual developed lots dependent upon the specific interlstexhibited by the business community. If this were to developseparately as individual parcels, many of the following designconsiderations would not be included, such as an approved signpackage, uniform street and parking lot Iighting, compatible orcohesive architecture and buiLding materiars. ihe coordination ofsite deveLopment will also improve the efficiency and costeffectiveness of public improvements. For example, the project islarge enough to help facilitate a solution to pioviding iarrit.rysewer service to the new MUSA area. AIso, the development of asingre, comprehensive drainage system will maxinize tie effectivenessof nutrient removal efforts while reducing the City,s long termmaintenance costs. -(3) _ Bigh quality of desigm and. desigm copatible with surroundingIand uses, including _both existing ana p:.annea. Site planning,randscaping and building architecture should reflect higher quaritydesign than is found elsenhere in the comunity- Subsequent to the final puD approvar and prior to construction, eachLot will be submitted to the city of chanirassen for formar revi.ew of Page 5 Chanhassen Narrative, Final Plan Submittal Page 6 building plans, landscaping, signage, Iighting, and compliance with the PUD Development Guidelines. The City will utilize its normalsite plan review procedure for each lot. The approved PUD documentswiII establish firn guidelines to ensure that the site j.s developedin a consistent and well planned nanner. The site plan alIows for a SO-foot buffer of open space and landscaping on the lots abutting Audubon Road where the view shedwill be greater. A 1O0-foot buffer and landscape area is provided between the CBC and the land to the south. This land is guided in the City Comprehensive Plan for residential development. The higherprofile buildings will be orientated toward Audubon Road. Near the central portions of the site and the western edge, higher developmentdensity is forecasted. This is screened and set back fron the traffic development that is adjacent to the site so as to be comparatively unnoticed. The PUD site plan provides a consistent edge buffer on both Audubon Road and the southern property J.ine. The buffer yards proposed will allow landscaping and a trail system to be planned as an integral component of the site p1an. This consistency of the buffer, trail setbacks and landscaping would not be achieved through conventionaf zoning. Landscaping Plan The PUD landscape plan identifies plant material locations along the entire perimeter of the chanhassen Business Center, the proposed Lake Drive roadway and two "typical" planting plans for individual lots. All plant material proposed for Phase I lnstallation is identified with a code nunber which relates to the plant schedu.Le as shown on Sheet 5. Phase I planting will occur at the entrance to the CBc site and a1on9 the public roadways which are developed to a permanent status in Phase r. The planting identified adjacent to Audubon Road and the remaining perimeter is not scheduled to be instafLed until each Lot adjacent to the Buffer area is developed. At that time, the The layout of the 94 acre palcel is rneant to complement thecharacteristics of the property. ?he design will be comrnensuratewith a first class rndustrial Park that wiII be an asset to the Cityof Chanhassen. Impervious levels and building densities are below the acceptabLe standards for the City. The table on sheet 1 mastersite plan identifies the anticipated building square footages and impervious densities on a lot by lot basis. It is important to notethat while the density within a PUD is calculated on gross acreagewithin the property ).ines of the site, the densities shown in thetable on sheet t have been calcufated ignoring Outlot A and Outlot B. This is because no development has been forecasted on either of theseoutlots at this time. The preservation of the marsh land andforested areas in Outlot A is a highlight of the planned PUD development. Chanhassen Narrative, Fina1 PIan Submittal Page 7 buffer area and individual 1ot will be landscaped jointly. This would aLlow for a water source and/or irrigation system to sustain the plant materials. Two lots on Sheet 5 have been identified with a generic landscapeplan. Specific species are not identified and the guantities shogrn are to be used as a guide toward how the individual Lots are to be landscaped. Each lot will be required to have site plan approval from the City of Chanhassen, at lrhich tine, the specific location of the building, parking lot and landscape plan will be presented. A trail is proposedl to run from Heron Road and Audubon Road, afongthe south buffer area and eventual.ly into Outlot A. The City of Chanhassen is proposing a recreational trail to run the entire lengthof Bl,uf f Creek from Highway 5 to Lyman Boulevard. This trail system would utilize a tunnel already in place under the railroad tracks atthe northwest corner of Outfot A. Sheet 2 existing conditions mapidentifies this tunnel . Additionally, an entrance nonument design is planned for the roadway entrance on Audubon Road (see Sheet 7 for a sample monunent sign).The landscaped area to the south between the CBC and the futureresidential neighborhood is a feature of the landscape plan. Continuous plantings are shown along Audubon Road to assist in eventual screening the industrial development from the outsidepublic. As each lot develops, all parking lots will be screened from Audubon Road by berming and/or plant material . Architectural Standards and Building llaterials: Before a Citysubmittal i.s nade, individual site plans will be submitted to RyanConstruction Company, the property agent, for approval relative toarchitecture, building materials, and site improvements. The basisof their approval shal1 adhere to the guidelines mentioned below and whi.ch establish the Planned Unit Developrnent Criteria for Chanhassen Business Center. A.

PIan Submittal Page 10 Additionally, the industrial developnent occurring irnmediately northof the buffer lj.ne, lots #8 and #9 will have lower densities thanother developments within the CBC. Lot 12 is proposed to house thenational weather service site, which will have a building coveragedensity of approximately 4t. Outlot A to the vrest will not have development and will further serve as a buffer to the different land uses to the south. 5- Development irhich is consistent rith the couprehensive plan. The Comprehensive plan has guided this site for fndustrial Office Park development. Ryan Construction Company is proposing the Chanhassen Business Center development to be an Industrial OfficePark, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The zoning for thesite wilL be IOP, which is Industrial Office Park district. Ryan is proposing to rezone the site to a PUD, Planned Unit Development. 6. Parks and Open Space. The creation of public open space may be required by the City. Suchpark and open space shaIl be consistent with the comprehensive plan and overall trail plan. As mentioned earlier in the narrative, Outlot A and a trail system :lIong the southern perineter of the CBC development are proposed to be dedicated to the City in lieu of Park dedi.cation land/fees. The value of this dedication is greater than the required normal park dedication for a development of this nature. Ryan has reviewed theCity's overall trail plan and proposes to provide a connection between Audubon Road and Bluff Creek. The trail is proposed to beinstalled at the conclusion of Phase If grading operations and willrun from the existing railroad underpass on the northwest corner ofOutlot A through Outlot A and up to Heron Drive and Audubon Road. Apedestrian crosswalk is proposed at lleron Drive which will connect tothe existi$g sidewalk on the east side of Audubon Road and facilitatepedestrian movement from the Lake Susan Hills area. The trail isillustrated on sheet 1 and on sheet 5. The City Master Trail PIan addresses a trail paralleling Bluff Creek running from Highway 5 to Lyman Boulevard. Ryanrs proposed trail segrnent rril1 be a valuable ease/west connection to the comprehensive trail p1an. The sensitivity to transitional areas for the CBC developnent is tothe south and the southeast. Southeast of the CBC industriaL developrnent the City has guided residential development for thefuture. The CBC p1at, see Sheet #6, allows for a 100 foot bufferarea. This will alfow an open space and landscaped buffer betrreenthe industrial development and the different land use to the south. Chanhassen Narrative, Final Pl-an Submittal Page 11 This item is not applicable to the cBc development proposal . Ryan Construction Company intends to explore the possible use ofrailroad spur lines for Lots #2, ll4, #5, and f7 during thepreliminary design stage. This will enhance conservation of energy through the use of the best and nost desirable transport method. The lighting fixtures seLected for use in the parking lot areas andon the public streets will be outfitted with an energy savings typeof 1amp. Additionally, they will include photo electric ceLls toturn them on/off automatically. These integrations will aid slightlyin the energy conservation area. 9. Use of traffic manageoent ancl desigrn techniques to reduce thepotential for traffic conflicts. Inprovenents to area roads andintersections oay be required as appropriate - The main access to the site is off of Audubon Road at Lake Drive,designated as a coflector street by the City Comprehensive Plan in 1991 . The CBC developrnent will irnpact Audubon Road, Highway 5intersection and the proposed Highway 212 with additional. traffic. The 1and use proposed consisting of office, nanufacturing and warehouse has been reviewed as to the irnpact anti,cipated, .and a comprehensive report is contained in the CBC Traffic Study, whichwill be submitted with the final set of PUD plans. The trafficreport provides a range of development impact and scenarios to beanticipated. The use of turn lanes for Lake Drive and access to Lot1, sight distances, safety concerns and projected volumes have beenexplored. Refer to the CBC Traffic Study for a lnore detailed analysis of theprojected impact this development will have on the surrounding roadway system. 7 - Provision of housing affordable to all income groups if appropriate within the PLrD. 8. Energy conservation through the use of rcre efficient building desigms and sightings and the clustering of buildings and land uses. Energy conservation for the building structures will occur in atleast two manners. First, earth mounding will help shield thebuildings from the rigors of the seasonal weather extremes. Secondly, architectural treatrnent of the building will attempt tocapture the nost efficient and effective design relateil to energyconservation. Each building will be evaluated for energy efficiencywith a cost/benefit analysis regarding insul.ation technigues and R- values . Chanhassen Narrative, Final Plan Submittaf Page 12 FINAT PLAN SUBMISSION FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) CHANHAS SEN BUSTNESS CEI(|ER The final PUD Submission for the CBC site submitted to the City of Chanhassen on October 21 , 1991 contains the following items: Subdivision Application Narrative Report EAI{Traffic Study Plan Sheets 1-7 The Narrative report specifically addresses how the PUD is intendedto function as to the setbacks, guidelines and phasing of the development. The EAvl and Detailed Traffic Study reviews the inpactthis ilevelopment wi1J. have on the surrounding area and what is to be expected from the proposed development. The seven plan sheets that cover aLl of the details necessary for PUD final approval are listed below . SHEET 1 -- MASTER SITE PLAN: This plan sheet describes the basicintent of the entire CBC development proposal . It includes, but isnot limited to, the following items. SHEET 2 -- EXISTING CoNDITIONS: The project boundaries and existing conditions of the site are shown through the use of a two foot topographical sulvey map (accurate as of May 9, 1989). Additionally, on JuIy 17, 1991 a tree survey rras completed on the site. The surveyresults are drawn on the plan sheet in schematic forn indicating areas of protection. Flood plain boundaries of Bluff Creek are also shown. SHEET 3 -- GRADING, DRAINAGE, AND EROSION COI{TROt PLAN 3 This plan illustrates the mass changes to the existing topography of the site that will take place during the grading operation. The plan identifies two phases of development on the site, Phase I and Phase II. The grading linits and utility limits are shown, however, detail information on the Phase I development reference should be nade to the Phase I site construction plans lrhich ale being subnitted with the PUD submission.

PI'RIOSE This report is to evafuate and docuEeat if thele is any adverse traffic iEpacts as a result of the fuII developnent poteatial of the OEnhassen Eusiness Center. If any advelse irpacts are identified, litigative oeasures HiU be suggested. Figure 1 shoBs the sile location. A conceptual layout of the laster Site Plan for lhe proposed Chanhassen Business Center is shora on Figure 2. METHODOLOGY The proposed land use wi.ll be inventoried to detelaine specificalty rhat type and size facilities $ould potentially be built on this site. the traffic generated by the full developEent potential of this site eill be forecasted and tabulated. This rrill deterEj.n6 the nunber of raw trip ends having either an origin o! destj.nation at the Charhassen Business Center. The fiDa1 forecasted a.n. and p.n. peak hour vol,umes could tEve the ho8e-based rrorktlj.ps adjusted for the following: Shared Tlips Internal Trips vehicle Occupancy Building Occupancy For thj.s analysis, however, no reduction will be eade for these factors. A directional distribution of these trips rill be Dade based on both zonal socio-econoEi.c Cata from the uetropolitan Council and historical eaploynent data obtained frorn current Charhassen businesses. The trips wi.ll then be assigmed to the highway systea, and an iDpact analysi.swi.l] be oade. DATA INVENTORY The study site includes 93.7 acres, triangular in shap€ and is bounded by Audubon Road on the east, 86th Street extended on the south, and the Gicago,Uilraukee, St. PauI and Pacific Railload on the Dorthrrest. The proposed Level of fuI] developDent inctudes the potentj,al of ?00,000 gross square feet of gerlelal office buildings. xarehousing arrd oanufactulingfacilitj.es, rith the exception being a transoiision toHer site and ueathernonj,toring site located withj.n the developnent. The individual building sites uj,l] be developed in stages rrith the firstutilj.ty infrastructure work connencing in 1992.

Intersection Analys i s Capacity analyses were conpleted for T.H. 5 at Audubon Road for the a.n. and p.rB. peak hours in 1991 (existing conditions ) and for 1996 base conditions (no CBC traffic) and 1996 with the CBC traffic added to the base condition. Currently, the intersection operates at level. of service (LOS) B/A on T.H. 5 and D/E on Audubon Road in the a.o. and p.n. peak ttours respectively. For the '1996 base condition this intersection will operate at LoS C/B and E/F. This assunes an annuaL glowth rate of 5t in vehicul.ar traffic and does not include the CBC traffic. i{ith the fulI developnent traffic added to the 1996 base conditions, it j.s anticipated the exj.sling unsigmalized intersection would operate at unacceptable levels of service during both the a.n. and p.m. peak hours. with the addition of traffic Aenerated by phase 1 of the chanhassen Business Center to the forecasted 1992 approach voluoes at theintersection of T.H. 5 at Audubon Road, the nininu& vehicular volumes for sigmal lrarrants 1 and 2 sill be uret. It is recoEnended that the City contact r,rn/DoT to reguest a traffic sj.gnal be installed to coinside with the cornpletion of phase I construction. If Hn/DOT is unr.rilling to install asignal based on forecasted traffic voluses, they should be reguested toclosely moiritor the traffic at the intersection upon cornpletion of phase I. Mn/DO? currently plans to include the reconstruction of T.H. 5 fron C.R. 1? toT.H. 41 in its 1996 construction progran. th/DOT also has a nunber of segrnents of new T.H. 212 proglanmed for construction beginning i.n 1993 through1995. They anticipate progranning the resterly segrnents of ne!, T.H. 212 for'1988 cr' Iater. The coffidor studies fo! T.H. 5 and T.H. 212 shows the year 2005 ADT volunes up to 20t lower on T.B. 5 rrith T.H. 21Z corlpl.eted versus the"No-Build" options. Based on Mn/DOT's zonal forecasts 20? of the Chanhassen Business Center traffic noh, routed via T.H. 5 would be assigned to T.H. 212.This would reduce the inpact of the CBC on T.H. 5. Although the specifictraffic associated with the completion of the chanhassen Business center cannot be identified in the corrj.dor studles for T.H. 5 and T.H, 2.12, they have addressed a future level of development based on the lretroporitan council'ssocio-economic data base and local Comprehensive pLans. future T.H. 5 and T.H. 212 have been or will be designed to adeguately acconodate this traftic.

CHANHASSEN BUSINESS CENTER Mi.tioative Measures There are no nitigative measures such as turn lanes or bypass lanes proposedat the developnent entrances to Audubon Road. .The naj.n entrance, however,sirl be provided t lth southbound acceleratiotr and deceleration tapers to al.rowtruck tralfic a less abrupt turn into and out of the site. Mn/DOT is conti.nuing to nonito! the traffic vol,umes at T.H. 5 and AudubonRoad. At such time the traffic volunes Eeet the reguj.red traffic signatrrarlant threshold volunes, this intersection Hilr be added to the pri,oritizedlist of intersections to signalize.

L99l Prelininary PLat Review of Chanhassen Business CenterProposalFile No. 91-13 LUR CITY OF CH[NH[SSEN subnitted by Ryan Construction Companyf offer the following conments and W- It appears that this development is to be graded in two phases withtle first phase concentrating over the easterly one-hLlf of thesite. The overal,l grading plan proposes grading the entire siteand constructing a siorn r6tlntioir pina rof stonn- runoff g-nerateafrom this. developnent. Construction of the retention pond wi1lencroach into the flood plain and reguire nitigation. AsL result,the applicant proposes increasing the depth oi the flood plain tooffset the area lost rrith the proposed retention pond. Thel,linnesota Departnent of Natural Resoulces will need to- review andapprove of this nitigation reaaure. The alopes proposed with theretention pond will be a maximuu of 3:1. staaf reconnends that theslopes be a naximun slope of 4:1 in order to facilitate naintenanceequipnent in accessing the botton of the ponding area as we1l assafety neasures. The project proposes to construct a seri.es of storm ser{rers toconvey runoff fron each individual lot to the proposed retentionpond. Storn sewer calcuLations for a 1o-year storm event alongwith ponding calculations for a 100-year event shouLd be subnittedto the City Engineering Departnent for review. Detailed stormsewer construction plans have been subnitted to the city forreview. Staff wiLl prepare a separate report on the streei andutility construction plans during the final plat approval process. tIt,PBINTED ON REC\CLED PAPER Kate Aanenson NoveDber 18, 1991 Page 2 As a part of Phase I grading, the plans do not provide for any tenporary retention pond for runoff generated over the easterly half of the site. The plans propose draining the first phase of the development northwesterly towards the raifroad tracks uhich eventually drain southwesterly paralle1 to the railroad tracks into the ftood p1ain. This grading activity rill involve encroaching upon the railroad property. The applicant nust receive pernission,/per:ait from the railroad authority for this work. staff reconmends that this lor area adj acent to the tracks be constructed into a ponding area for interin use or possibly a pernanent second retention pond. As with nost retention ponding areas, naintenance responsibil ities are generally transferred over to the City. The applicant shall dedicate and provide a naintenance access drive to these areas for future maintenance considerations. The appropriate drainage and utility easenents should be conveyed over these areas with the final plat approval . EROSION CONTROL The plans propose with Phase I construction a temPorary rock construction entrance at Audubon Road and Lake Drive west. The plans also propose silt fence along the rresterly retention pond as rell as the dounstrean side of the site grading. Due to the nagnitude of the parcel being graded, it is reconmended that Type III erosion control be installed. It is also recornrnended that erosion control fence (T!Pe III) be installed along the westerly grading linits for erosion control measures as rrell as narking the iinits-of construction. staff also reconnends that Type I silt fence be placed along Audubon Road between the curb and the proposed bern lying north of future Lake Drive west. The plans propose for all areas altered because of construction to be restored with seed and disc nulched, sod, Irood-fiber blanket or be hard surfaced within two ueeks after coupletion of construction. staff uould like to change this condition to read that all turf restoration shall be coupleted within two weeks after the site isgraded except in areas designated for utility or street construction that year. UTILITIES tilunicipal water service is available to the site from Audubon Road. The plans propose extending a 10-inch waternain through the site and looping back to Audubon Road by continuing to the south between I-ots 8 and 9 and then easterly back out to Audubon Road to complete Kate Aanenson Novenber 18, 1991 Page 3 the Ioop. Staff recornmends that the waten0ain loop be extendedsoutherly to uithin 10 feet of the south plat boundary and thenproceed easterly to Audubon Road to provide for possible future extension and looptng to the adjacent parcel to the south. In the areas of the developnent where the waternain is extendedoutside of the street right-of-nay, the final plat should convey2o-foot wide drainage and utility easements over these areas.Detailed utility construction plans have been subrnitted; however, no specifications were provided. Staff will be preparing a staffreport on the construction plans and specifications with the finalplat approval . A11 utility construction should be constructed in accordance with the Latest edition of the City of Chanhassenrs standard specifications. Project specifications shall incorporatethe Cityrs standard specifications. SANITARY SEWER t{unicipal sanitary sewer service is not readily available to theentire site. Audubon Road does have an 8-inch sanitary sewer linethat rras constructed in conjunction with the Audubon Road upgradelast year with the intent that a sanitary sewer line would beextended through the Rednond parceL (1ying east of Audubon Road)along the future Lake Drive West which rrould eventually tie the trrosystens together. Louever, that project did not proceed;therefore, the sanitary Eewer line in Audubon Road is inoperationalat this time. As a part of the Lake Susan Hi11s West 3rd Addition, a sanitarysewer line rras extended underneath Audubon Road at Heron Drive.This line has Linitations with regards to capacity as well aselevation to serve the site. The plans propose on extending an 8-inch sewer nain fron Heron Drive north along the west side of Audubon Road to provide service to Ipts L, 2, 3,4, 5, 10 and 11,Block 1. Staff is concerned with the capacity of the existing linethrough Lake susan HiIIE west 3rd Addition. In a report preparedby the developerts engineer (R.L.K., Incorporated) revealed thatthere appears to be enough capacity in the existing line on HeronDrive to accor0Dodate these new lots in the Chanhassen BusinessCenter. Staff is requesting copies of their calculations forverification and to see if it included future irbuilt-outl conditions of the residential area south of Iake Susan Hil1s rrhichwill eventually drain into the Lake Ann Interceptor. If staffconcurs with their calculations and allorrs connection to thesysten, there should be a nechanisn to track and regulate the amount of flow discharged from Phase I through the sewer line at Heron Drive to insure that flows do not exceed the capacity linits. The exact sanitary sewer discharge linitation fron each of these Kate Aanenson Novenber 18, 1991 Page 4 lots should be placed in the chain of title as welL as in the devetopment contract to insure that the flows do not exceed thecapacity linits dovnstrean. staff also reconmends rith inplenentation of Phase II sanitary seuer improvenents to the developnent if feasible the sanitary sewer line proposed in PhaseI should be switched to flou into the new sanitary sewer trunk systen. The city recently included this area into the uusA. The city'sconsultant, Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates, Inc. ispreparing conprehensive sanitary seser plans shich includes this parcel . In order to provide sanitary sewer service to Phase II of the Chanhassen Business center a trunk sewer line iri1l have to be constructed froD the south along Llman Boulevard which will require a lift station and forceuain systeu to purtrp back up Audubon Road to discharge. into the sanitary. serrer line at Lake Drive west and Audubon Road. In addition, the sanitary sewer line previously proposed along Lake Drive West lying east of Audubon Road (Re&trondproperty) wiII also have to be constructed. The Lake Ann Interceptor is located approxiuately one-third nile east of Audubon Road (see Attachnent #1). As with any inproveroent project, the applicant is generally responsibte for petitioning the city for extension of public iroprovements, i.e. sanitary serrer, and providing a cash escrow forthe preparation of a feasibility study. should the project be authorized by the City, the appLicant si1l be entitled to a refundof the security escrow. staff uould like to point out that thisparcel of land has not been assessed for sanitary trunk selrer yet. Even if the easterly half of the site is able to utilize theexisting sanitary sewer stub at Heron Drive, the entire tract of land should pay its fair share of the trunk sewer systen to bebuilt in conjunction with Phase II of this developnent. This nay require that pending trunk sanitary sewer assessnents be recorded against each parcel in Phase I. Utility and drainage easements should be conveyed with the finalplat over those areas uhere the sanitary sewer line extends out beyond the street right-of-way. In addition, the applicant shoulddedicate to the city an easeDent for the future trunk sewer extension through Outlot B. The drainage and utiLity easenentsshalI be a ninimum of 20 feet wide. fn an effort to provide accessfor maintenance purposes it is suggested that a qravel access roador possibly a conbination trail be built along the sanitary sewerroute through Iots 7, 8, Outlot A and outlot B. Kate Aanenson November 18, 1991 Page 5 STREETS The plans propose a 36-foot vide face-to-face street with 8-618 concrete curb and gir.rtter inside of a 60-foot lride street right-of-rray. This is consistent with other industrial parks in the City.ft is reconmended for the segment of roadway betrdeen Audubon Road and rstreet Arr which is the first cul-de-sac to the north, that theright-of-way be extended to 80 feet wide to accomnodate additionalturn lanes and signalization in the future. In addition, allintersection curb radiuses should be increased to 30 feet wide to accomnodate truck turning rnovements. The street construction plansfor Lake Drive West should be expanded to provide for a left turnIane, and through/right turn lane for outbound traffic on to Audubon Road. The street construction plans should alsoincorporate the southbound acceleration and deceleration lanesalong Audubon Road as proposed with the site plan. Theacceleration and deceleration lanes sha1l be built according to ITInDOT standards . The plans propose a separate entrance to Lot 1 off Audubon Road.Staff is not confortabLe rrith allowing any additional driveway curbcuts on Audubon Road. However, if the driveway access is granted,it is reconmended that the entrance be located a ninirnun of 5OOfeet north of the naj.n entrance to the development. This shouldprovide adequate spacing betlreen the future turn lanes andchannelizations to be incorporated at the intersection of proposedIake Drive west and Audubon Road. The applicant should also beadvised there nay be a possibility that future roadrray inprovernents such as medians nay linit traffic movenents to right-in/right-outonly on Lot 1. Audubon Road south of the railroad tracks to the future extensionof Lake Drive vlest currently exists as a 44-foot wide urban street.South of Iake Drive West, Audubon Road is built to rural citystandards (24-foot wide bitulinous Dat with 5-foot wide gravelshoulders. According to the Eastern Carrrer County TransportationStudy (ECCTS), Audubon Road is classified as a CLass I collectorstreet which requires a nininun right-of-way of 80 feet and reconroends a 100 feet to accoDmodate a 44-foot wide urban street. There currently exists a 33-foot rride right-of-way along the westside of Audubon Road and 50 feet along the east. An additional 17feet of street right-of-way should be dedicated along the west sideof Audubon Road with the final plat. The EAW addresses the proposed traffic iurpacts anticipated rrith developtoent of the site. The site has been divided into potential uses for the purpose of forecasting trip generation. The proposedlevel of fu1l developnent includes the potential of 700,000 grossfeet of general office building, warehousing, and nanufacturing. Kate Aanenson Novenber 18, 1991 Page 6 1\ro traffic reports uere revieued and applied for their relevancein addressing the denographic and road needs for the next twentyyears. The two reports include: T.H. 212 Traffic forecasts, I-494 to Norrood./Younq Anerica, prepared for l{n/DoT, 1985 Eastern carver countv conprehensive Transportation Planninq studv, prepared for Eastern carver county Technical conmittee, 1990 current Average Traffic Volumes (ADT) were received fron IihDoT andthe City. In addition, the developerts engineering firn, RtK Associates took 24-hour nachine counts on T.H. 5 and Audubon Road and prepared a traffic analysis. Currently, this intersection does not meet uarrants as required for installation of a traffic signal. UnDOT ranks this intersection 35th on their priority list. The analysis looked at the inpacts of traffic Aenerated by chanhassen Business center for the years 1992 and 1996. Anticipated traffic entering and exiting the site is distributed with 3472 ADT (80t) north and southbound on to Audubon road north of the site and 858 ADT (208) north and southbound fron the south. of the site traffic on Audubon Road northerly of the site entrances, 2083 ADT (60t) is going to and fron the east on T.H. 5 and 1389 ADT (40*) is going to and fron the rrest on T.H. 5. The report predicts then T.H. 212 isbuilt, traffic patterns on Audubon Road wiII increase by 20t to the south and decrease 20* to the north. capacity analyses were conplet€d for the intersection of T.H. 5 at Audubon Road for the a.n. and p.n. peak hours in 1991 includingtraffic generated with Phase I developuent of the chanhassen Business Center (CBc). With the fuII developnent traffic added tothe 1991 base conditions, it is anticipated the existingunsignalized intersection at T.I{. 5 and Audubon Road lrou1d operateat unacceptable leve1s of service during both the a.D. and p.n. peak hours. In the report it is reconmend that the City contact l.InlDOT to request that a traffic signal be installed to coinciderrith the conpletion of Phase f of the construction. As developnentpressure dictates turn lanes and traffic control devices such assignalized intersections along Audubon Road at T.Il. 5 and possibly L,ake Drive I{est may be sarranted. The applicant should be awarethey nay be required to participate in the acguisition of thesetraffic signals. The plans do not provide for street lighting. As with previousindustrial parksr/roadways the City has required the developer toinstall street lights throughout the street systen. The streetlights should be designed consistent with the existing lightingalong Audubon Road. A 2so-uatt contenporary low-profile, Kate Aanenson }{oveEber 18, 1991 Page 7 rectilinear-rectangular rtyle lighting fixture with high-pressure lamps mounted on a 25-30 foot high corten steel po1e. the poles should be placed betueen 150 and 200 feet apart. RECOI{}TENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1.
